Information reporting methods, receiving methods, devices, equipment and storage media Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information reporting method, receiving method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when a network device receives a channel quality measurement report from a terminal device, it configures the terminal device with a higher Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level. The MCS level defines the number of effective bits that each Resource Element (RE) can carry, directly affecting the data transmission rate and efficiency. A higher MCS level allows each RE to transmit more effective bits, resulting in a faster data transmission rate.

[0003] To enable network devices to configure higher MCS levels for terminal devices as early as possible to quickly restore service rates, it is desirable for terminal devices to report channel quality measurement reports to network devices as early as possible. Summary of the Invention

[0043] First, the relevant technologies involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced:

[0044] Traditional switchover process

[0045] Similar to Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, New Radio (NR) systems support handover procedures for connected user equipment (UEs). When a UE using network services moves from one cell to another, or due to adjustments in radio transmission load, activation maintenance, equipment failure, or other reasons, the system transfers the UE's communication link from the original cell to the new cell to ensure communication continuity and service quality; this is known as a handover process. For example, this handover process is shown in Figure 1, and includes:

[0046] 1. The source base station triggers handover based on the measurement results reported by the UE and sends a handover request to the target cell via the Xn interface;

[0047] 2. The target base station receives the handover request from the source base station, provides the RRC configuration of the target cell, and feeds it back to the source base station as part of the handover request acknowledgment.

[0048] 3. The source base station sends a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration instruction to the UE to initiate a handover procedure, as well as RRC configuration information for accessing the target cell;

[0049] 4. The UE accesses the target cell and sends a reconfiguration complete message (RRC reconfiguration complete) to the target cell. In order to establish uplink synchronization with the target cell, the UE needs to initiate a random access procedure to the target cell.

[0050] • Lower-layer Triggered Mobility (LTM)

[0051] The traditional handover process described above is triggered by L3 signaling. To further shorten handover latency and ensure service continuity, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) supported an L1 / L2-triggered handover process in Release 18 (R18). For example, as shown in Figure 2, the specific LTM process includes:

[0052] 11. The UE reports the measurement results to the base station, and the base station determines to initiate the LTM process and triggers candidate cell preparation;

[0053] 12. The base station sends an RRC message (i.e., an RRCReconfiguration message) containing LTM candidate cell configurations to the UE, and the number of candidate cells can be one or more;

[0054] 13. The UE stores the LTM candidate cell configuration and sends a reconfiguration complete message (i.e., RRCReconfigurationComplete message) back to the base station;

[0055] 14. Before receiving the LTM cell handover command, the UE can perform uplink / downlink synchronization with the candidate cell in advance (as shown in Figure 2, 14a and 14b) to reduce the interruption delay of the handover process;

[0056] 15. The UE performs L1 measurements on each candidate cell and reports the L1 measurement results to the network;

[0057] 16. The base station determines the target cell based on the L1 measurement results reported by the UE, and instructs the UE to switch to the target cell via MAC CE;

[0058] 17. If the UE currently does not have a valid Timing Advance (TA) or Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state identifier (ID) for the target cell, then upon receiving the LTM handover indication, the UE initiates a random access procedure to the target cell.

[0059] 18. The UE sends an indication message to the target cell indicating that LTM has been successfully completed.

[0060] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of a communication system provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The communication system includes a terminal device 110 and a network device 120.

[0061] The terminal device 110 in this application embodiment can also be referred to as user equipment (UE), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent, or user apparatus.

This network device 120 includes, but is not limited to: an evolved Node B (eNB), a Radio Network Controller (RNC), a Node B (NB), a Base Station Controller (BSC), a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), a Home Evolved Node B (or Home Node B, HNB), a Baseband Unit (BBU), an Access Point (AP) in a Wi-Fi system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a Transmission Point (TP), or a Transmission and Reception Point (TRP), etc. It can also be used for next-generation Node B (Next Generation Node) systems in 5G mobile communication systems. B, gNB) or transmission point (TRP or TP), or, in a 5G system, one or a group of antenna panels (including multiple antenna panels) of a base station, or, network nodes constituting a gNB or transmission point, such as baseband unit (BBU) or distributed unit (DU), or base stations in Beyond Fifth Generation (B5G) mobile communication systems or 6th Generation (6G) mobile communication systems, or core network (CN), fronthaul, backhaul, radio access network (RAN), network slicing, etc., or serving cell, primary cell (PCell), primary secondary cell (PSCell), special cell (SpCell), secondary cell (SCell), neighboring cell, etc. of terminal equipment.

[0063] Terminal device 110 and network device 120 communicate with each other via some air interface technology. For example, there are two communication scenarios between terminal device 110 and network device 120: uplink communication scenario and downlink communication scenario. Uplink communication refers to terminal device 110 sending signals to network device 120; downlink communication refers to network device 120 sending signals to terminal device 110.

[0064] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) systems, Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) systems, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication systems, 5G mobile communication systems, NR systems, evolution systems of NR systems, LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) systems, NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) systems, Terrestrial Networks (TN) systems, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) systems, and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Networks (WLAN), Wi-Fi, cellular IoT systems, cellular passive IoT systems, and can also be applied to subsequent evolution systems of 5G NR systems, as well as B5G, 6G and subsequent evolution systems.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, "NR" may also be referred to as a 5G NR system or a 5G system. The 5G mobile communication system may include Non-Standalone (NSA) and / or Standalone (SA) networking. The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application can also be applied to Machine-Type Communication (MTC), Long Term Evolution-Machine (LTE-M) technology, Device-to-Device (D2D) networks, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks, Internet of Things (IoT) networks, or other networks. For example, an IoT network may include a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) network. In this context, the communication methods in the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system are collectively referred to as vehicle to other devices (V2X, where X can represent anything). For example, V2X can include: vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication, vehicle to pedestrian (V2P) communication, or vehicle to network (V2N) communication, etc.

[0066] It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "correspondence" can indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between two things, or an association between them, or a relationship of instruction and being instructed, configuration and being configured, etc. In the embodiments of this application, "predefined" 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 what is defined in a protocol. In the embodiments of this application, "protocol" can refer to standard protocols in the field of communication, such as LTE protocol, NR protocol, Internet of Things protocol, and related protocols applied to future communication systems, and this application does not limit it.

[0067] In related technologies, terminal devices only perform channel quality measurements and reporting based on the target cell configuration after successfully accessing the target cell. Network devices then configure a higher MCS (Multi-Channel System) level for the terminal device based on the signal quality results reported by the terminal device. The MCS level defines the number of effective bits that each RE (Electronic Recording Element) can carry, directly affecting the data transmission rate and efficiency. A higher MCS level allows for the transmission of more effective bits per RE, resulting in a faster data transmission rate.

[0068] Based on the above approach, the service rate may remain at a relatively low level between the time the terminal device receives the handover command and the time the network device configures a higher MCS level for the terminal device. If the terminal device can report the channel quality information of the target cell to the network device as early as possible, the network device can configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device sooner, thereby quickly restoring the service rate.

[0069] Figure 4 illustrates a flowchart of an information reporting method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a terminal device and includes:

[0070] Step 220: Before successfully accessing the first cell, the terminal device reports the first information.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the channel quality of the first cell.

[0072] Optionally, the terminal device reports the first piece of information after receiving the cell handover command and before completing the cell handover. For example, the terminal device reports the first piece of information during the cell handover preparation process.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first information is used to request the network device to configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device. The earlier the terminal device reports the first information, the sooner the network device is likely to configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device. For example, after receiving the first information, the network device will configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device in the next scheduling.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first cell is the target cell to which the terminal device will hand over during the cell handover process. The target cell corresponds to the source cell. Here, the source cell refers to the cell where the terminal device is currently located, and the target cell can be understood as the new cell to which the terminal device will hand over next.

[0075] The method provided in this embodiment allows the terminal device to report first information indicating the channel quality of the first cell to the network device before successfully accessing the first cell. The terminal device does not need to wait until after successfully accessing the first cell to report the channel quality. By reporting the first information to the network device as early as possible, the network device can configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device earlier, thus quickly restoring service rates.

[0076] Figure 5 illustrates a flowchart of an information receiving method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a network device and includes:

[0077] Step 320: The network device receives the first information.

[0078] The first information is sent by the terminal device before it successfully accesses the first cell. The first information is used to indicate the channel quality of the first cell.

[0079] In some embodiments, since the first information is sent by the terminal device before successfully accessing the first cell, the "network device" in this application embodiment includes a "source network device" and / or a "target network device". The "source network device" is understood as the network device in the source cell, or the network device in the serving cell where the terminal device is currently located. The "target network device" is understood as the network device in the first cell, or the network device in the cell to which the terminal device will switch.

[0080] Optionally, the first information is sent by the terminal device after receiving the cell handover command and before completing the cell handover. For example, the terminal device reports the first information during the cell handover preparation process.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first information is used to request the network device to configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device. The earlier the terminal device reports the first information, the sooner the network device is likely to configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device. For example, after receiving the first information, the network device will configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device in the next scheduling.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first cell is the target cell to which the terminal device will hand over during the cell handover process. The target cell corresponds to the source cell. Here, the source cell refers to the cell where the terminal device is currently located, and the target cell can be understood as the new cell to which the terminal device will hand over next.

[0083] The method provided in this embodiment allows the terminal device to report first information indicating the channel quality of the first cell to the network device before successfully accessing the first cell. The terminal device does not need to wait until after successfully accessing the first cell to report the channel quality. By reporting the first information to the network device as early as possible, the network device can configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device earlier, thus quickly restoring service rates.

[0084] Based on the embodiments shown in Figure 4 and / or Figure 5, the first information is described as follows:

[0085] • The content carried by the first message:

[0086] In some embodiments, the first information includes one or more of the following:

[0087] 1. Configuration information associated with the first piece of information;

[0088] Optionally, the configuration information associated with the first information includes the reporting configuration information associated with the first information, such as the reporting configuration identifier, used to associate the corresponding resources and / or beams. Optionally, the configuration information associated with the first information is also referred to as Report / config info (resource association).

[0089] In some embodiments, before the terminal device reports the first information to the network device, the terminal device receives a reporting configuration and / or a measurement configuration sent by the network device. The reporting configuration and / or measurement configuration are used to instruct the terminal device to perform corresponding measurements and reports.

[0090] Optionally, the reporting configuration and / or measurement configuration may include one or more of the following: measurement object, reporting content, reporting conditions, measurement identifier, and measurement interval. The measurement object indicates the object that the terminal device needs to measure, such as the signal to be measured or the beam to be measured. The reporting content indicates what parameters and / or information the terminal device needs to report, such as signal quality parameters or cell information. The reporting conditions indicate the reporting criteria for the measurement results, or, in other words, indicate under what conditions the measurement results and / or measurement reports can be reported. The measurement identifier associates the measurement object with the reporting conditions; for example, if different measurement objects correspond to different reporting conditions, the reporting conditions corresponding to each measurement object can be determined based on the measurement identifier. The measurement interval indicates the period during which the terminal device performs measurements, which helps to avoid interference with normal communication.

[0091] In some embodiments, the network device may configure various measurement objects for the terminal device, such as certain reference signals, certain beams, or certain channels. When reporting the first information, the terminal device may optionally carry corresponding configuration information in the first information to indicate to the network device that the first information reported by the terminal device is used to indicate the measurement result corresponding to which measurement object(s).

[0092] In some embodiments, the terminal device performs measurements according to a pre-received measurement configuration and obtains measurement results. In one possible scenario, after receiving a cell handover command but before successfully accessing the first cell, the terminal device reports first information corresponding to the first cell to the network device. Since the terminal device knows the first cell to be handed over, it can report one or more beam-level measurement results corresponding to the first cell to the network device. 2. Beam information corresponding to the first beam;

[0093] Here, the first beam is the beam corresponding to the first information. Alternatively, the first information can be understood as indicating the channel quality of the first beam. Optionally, the first beam is the beam indicated by the cell handover command, or the first beam is the beam selected by the terminal device based on the measured channel quality during cell handover. Optionally, the first beam can be all or some of the beams within the first cell. For example, assuming the first cell contains x beams, the first beam can be all or some of the x beams, where x is a positive integer.

[0094] Optionally, the first beam can be all or part of the beams indicated in the measurement configuration of the network device. For example, if the measurement configuration indicates y beams using y beam indices, where y is a positive integer less than or equal to x, then the first beam can be all or part of the y beams.

[0095] Optionally, the first beam is the target beam selected by the terminal device based on the measurement results. For example, the first beam is the beam corresponding to the best one or more measurement results among one or more measurement results. Alternatively, it can be understood as the first beam being one or more beams with the best channel quality selected by the terminal device based on the measurement results. For instance, assuming the network device's measurement configuration indicates that the terminal device needs to measure 10 beams, the first beam can be one or more beams determined by the terminal device based on the 10 measurement results corresponding to each of the 10 beams. For example, the first beam is the beam corresponding to the best measurement result among the 10 measurement results.

[0096] In some embodiments, beam information includes: beam identifier and / or Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) status identifier.

[0097] Optionally, the beam identifier can be an absolute identifier, or a direct identifier, used to directly determine the beam corresponding to the first information. Examples include a direct beam index and / or a reference signal index. Reference signals include a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), a Channel Status Indicator Reference Signal (CSI-RS), etc. Alternatively, the beam identifier can be a relative identifier, or an indirect identifier, capable of indirectly determining the beam corresponding to the first information.

[0098] Optionally, the TCI status indicated by the TCI status identifier is one or more of the (pre-activated) and / or configured TCI statuses; or, the TCI status indicated by the TCI status identifier is all or part of the (pre-activated) and / or configured TCI statuses; or, the TCI status indicated by the TCI status identifier is the TCI status indicated by the cell handover command.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first beam includes one or more. For example, the first information is used to indicate the channel quality of one beam. Alternatively, the first information is used to indicate the channel quality of multiple beams. It should be noted that when the terminal device simultaneously indicates the channel quality of multiple beams, the terminal device can send one or more pieces of first information. For example, each piece of first information can be used to indicate the channel quality of one or more beams. Optionally, the first information and the beam are one-to-one, or it can be understood that each piece of first information is only used to indicate the channel quality of one beam. If the terminal device wants to indicate the channel quality of n beams, the terminal device needs to report n pieces of first information, where n is a positive integer. Optionally, the n pieces of first information are implemented using one absolute information and n-1 differential information, where each differential information in the n-1 differential information is determined based on its corresponding first information and absolute information. For example, as shown in Table 1 below:

[0100] Table 1

[0101] Optionally, the first information and the beam are in a one-to-many relationship, or it can be understood that each piece of first information can be used to indicate the channel quality of multiple beams. If the terminal device wants to indicate the channel quality of n beams, the terminal device can report m pieces of first information, where m is a positive integer less than or equal to n. Examples are shown in Table 2 below:

[0102] Table 2

[0103] 3. Beam measurement report corresponding to the first beam;

[0104] In some embodiments, the beam measurement report corresponding to the first beam is used to indicate the measurement results of the first beam. Optionally, the measurement results of the first beam are reflected by at least one of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). The measurement results include one or more of L1-RSRP, L1-RSSI, L1-RSRQ, and L1-SINR.

[0105] RSRP is used to indicate the received strength of the reference signal. The larger the RSRP value, the better the signal quality on the first beam; the smaller the RSRP value, the worse the signal quality on the first beam.

[0106] RSSI is used to quantify the strength of a wireless signal. A higher RSSI value indicates a stronger signal, or better signal quality on the first beam; a lower RSSI value indicates a weaker signal, or worse signal quality on the first beam. RSSI is usually a negative value.

[0107] RSRQ is used to indicate the reception quality of the reference signal. The larger the RSRQ value, the better the signal quality on the first beam; the smaller the RSRQ value, the worse the signal quality on the first beam.

[0108] SINR is used to indicate the ratio of the strength of the received useful signal to the strength of the received interference signal (noise and interference). The higher the SINR value, the stronger the received signal relative to the interference and noise, and the better the communication quality; the lower the SINR value, the weaker the received signal relative to the interference and noise, and the worse the communication quality.

[0109] 4. Channel state information;

[0110] In some embodiments, channel state information includes one or more of the following: Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), Rank Indicator (RI), Layer Indicator (LI), Non-zero Coefficient Indicator, and Strongest Coefficient Indicator.

[0111] Among them, CQI is used to report channel quality so that network devices can determine the MCS; PMI is used to indicate the recommended precoding matrix index or quantized feature vector information; RI is used to indicate the recommended number of transmission layers; LI is used to indicate the strongest transmission layer in the codeword corresponding to a larger bandwidth CQI. Non-zero coefficient indicators are used to indicate the relevant information of non-zero coefficients in the combination coefficient matrix of the codebook structure. Strongest coefficient indicators are used to determine the coefficient information of the strongest beam or beam group in the channel state information.

[0112] In some embodiments, the reporting granularity of channel state information and / or beam measurement reports includes a first granularity and / or a second granularity, wherein the first granularity corresponds to each wideband and the second granularity corresponds to each narrowband.

[0113] This can be understood as follows: channel state information is reported per wideband; or per subband; or both per wideband and per subband.

[0114] 5. Frequency band information;

[0115] In some embodiments, the frequency band information carries one or more of the following:

[0116] Wideband indication information;

[0117] Narrowband indication information;

[0118] The identifier for the Bandwidth Part (BWP);

[0119] BWP-related uplink indication;

[0120] BWP associated downlink instructions.

[0121] Optionally, wideband indication information is used to indicate the wideband's identifier, location, size, available BWP, etc.

[0122] Optionally, the narrowband indication information (Subband indication information) is used to indicate one or more of the following: direct index, relative index, position, and size of the subband. It should be noted that "narrowband" in the embodiments of this application can also be understood as "subband" or "subfrequency band," the difference being only in the description, but the meaning is the same.

[0123] Optionally, the frequency band indication information can be explicit or implicit. For example, it can explicitly indicate whether the frequency band is wideband or narrowband, or it can be implicitly determined based on the reporting format design of the first information, such as by the limitation of position / bit / byte.

[0124] Optionally, the BWP identified by the BWP may be the BWP associated with the first beam, or the BWP associated with the frequency band, or the BWP currently in operation by the terminal device, or the initial BWP, or the first active BWP.

[0125] 6. Report parameter indicator, used to indicate the parameters carried by the first information;

[0126] Optionally, the parameters carried by the first information can be indicated by pre-configuration or explicit indication.

[0127] Optionally, the parameters carried by the first information may include one or more of the following:

[0128] cri-RI-PMI-CQI;

[0129] cri-RI-i1;

[0130] cri-RI-i1-CQI;

[0131] cri-RI-CQI;

[0132] cri-RSRP;

[0133] ssb-Index-RSRP;

[0134] cri-RI-LI-PMI-CQI.

[0135] Among them, the Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator (CRI) indicates the reference signal resources for channel state information; the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) is used to report channel quality so that network devices can determine the MCS; the Precoding Matrix Index (PMI) indicates the recommended precoding matrix index or quantized feature vector information; the RI indicates the recommended number of transmission layers; and the LI indicates the strongest transmission layer in the codeword corresponding to a larger bandwidth CQI. i1 represents the bandwidth precoding information. The RSRP indicates the received power of the corresponding reference signal.

[0136] 7. The transport block associated with the first information;

[0137] In some embodiments, the transport block associated with the first information includes one, two, or more. For example, the transport block includes a first transport block (TB) and / or a second transport block.

[0138] In some embodiments, the reporting granularity of channel state information and / or beam measurement reports includes a third granularity, which corresponds to each TB.

[0139] 8. The time information for obtaining the first piece of information;

[0140] The validity of the first information is determined by reporting the acquisition time information. For example, as shown in Figure 6, if the time interval between the acquisition time and the reporting time of the first information is greater than or equal to a first duration threshold, the first information is invalid. If the acquisition time of the first information is too long, it may not accurately reflect the current channel state. If the time interval between the acquisition time and the reporting time of the first information is less than the first duration threshold, the first information is valid; it is recent and can still accurately reflect the current channel state.

[0141] 9. Instruction information: Instruction information is used to indicate whether the first information is valid;

[0142] In some embodiments, when the value of the indication information is a first value, the indication information is used to indicate that the first information is valid; when the value of the indication information is a second value, the indication information is used to indicate that the first information is invalid. For example, when the value of the indication information is 0, the indication information is used to indicate that the first information is valid; when the value of the indication information is 1, the indication information is used to indicate that the first information is invalid. As another example, when the value of the indication information is 1, the indication information is used to indicate that the first information is valid; when the value of the indication information is 0, the indication information is used to indicate that the first information is invalid.

[0143] 10. Community Information.

[0144] In some embodiments, cell information includes cell identifier and / or cell type. Optionally, a cell includes one or more of primary cell, secondary cell, and primary-secondary cell.

[0145] In some embodiments, if two or more candidate cells are configured in the candidate configuration, the terminal device may report the first information corresponding to each candidate cell separately. Alternatively, the terminal device may only report the first information corresponding to the first cell, which is one of multiple candidate cells and is determined / selected by the terminal device based on measurement results.

[0146] In some embodiments, if a candidate configuration or the configuration of a first cell includes a primary cell and a secondary cell, for example, assuming the candidate configuration includes a primary cell and a secondary cell, the terminal device can report the first information corresponding to the primary cell and the first information corresponding to the secondary cell respectively. Alternatively, the terminal device can report the first information corresponding to the primary cell and the first information corresponding to the secondary cell through the same first message.

[0147] • Conditions for reporting first information:

[0148] In some embodiments, the terminal device reports first information when a first condition is met. Alternatively, this can be understood as the first information being reported when the first condition is met.

[0149] In some embodiments, satisfying the first condition includes one or more of the following:

[0150] 1. Meets network configuration requirements;

[0151] In some embodiments, the network configuration instructs the terminal device to report the first information periodically, semi-periodically, or aperiodically. When the network configuration instructs the terminal device to report the first information semi-periodically or aperiodically, the terminal device also needs to receive an activation instruction from the network device each time it reports the first information. This activation instruction is used to trigger the terminal device to report the first information.

[0152] In some embodiments, network configuration is used to activate or enable the terminal device to report first information.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first condition is pre-instructed by the network device based on network configuration. For example, the network is configured for the terminal device to trigger the reporting of first information periodically, and / or to trigger the reporting of first information based on events. Optionally, if the network device is configured for the terminal device to trigger the reporting of first information based on events, the network configuration may also include one or more of the following: event type, threshold value, and time limit. Optionally, if the network device is configured for the terminal device to trigger the reporting of first information periodically, the network configuration may also include the reporting period and / or the number of reporting times.

[0154] 2. The number of available uplink resources is greater than or equal to the number of bits occupied by the first information and the corresponding packet header;

[0155] In some embodiments, before reporting the first information, the terminal device first determines whether the available uplink resources are sufficient for reporting the first information. If the number of bits of available uplink resources is greater than or equal to the number of bits occupied by the first information and the corresponding packet header, the available uplink resources are considered sufficient for reporting the first information; if the number of bits of available uplink resources is less than the number of bits occupied by the first information and the corresponding packet header, the available uplink resources are considered insufficient for reporting the first information.

[0156] 3. The number of available uplink resources is greater than or equal to the number of bits occupied by the truncated first information and the corresponding header of the truncated first information;

[0157] In some embodiments, before reporting the truncated first information, the terminal device first determines whether the available uplink resources are sufficient for reporting the truncated first information. If the number of bits of available uplink resources is greater than or equal to the number of bits occupied by the truncated first information and the corresponding packet header, the available uplink resources are considered sufficient for reporting the truncated first information; if the number of bits of available uplink resources is less than the number of bits occupied by the truncated first information and the corresponding packet header, the available uplink resources are considered insufficient for reporting the truncated first information.

[0158] 4. An event triggers the reporting of the first piece of information.

[0159] In some embodiments, the triggering event includes one or more of the following:

[0160] The first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first measurement threshold, the first measurement result is the measurement result of the beam used during the cell handover process, or the first measurement result is the measurement result of the TCI state indicated by the cell handover command.

[0161] At least N second measurement results are greater than or equal to the second measurement threshold, and the second measurement results are the measurement results corresponding to the beam associated with the first cell;

[0162] The number of times the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first measurement threshold is greater than or equal to the first threshold;

[0163] The number of times that at least N second measurement results are greater than or equal to the second measurement threshold is greater than or equal to the second threshold;

[0164] Within the first time period, the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first measurement threshold;

[0165] During the second time period, at least N second measurement results are greater than or equal to the second measurement threshold;

[0166] Within the third time period, the number of times the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first measurement threshold is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0167] During the fourth time period, at least N second measurement results are greater than or equal to the second measurement threshold the number of times.

[0168] It should be noted that the terms "first time period," "second time period," "third time period," and "fourth time period" mentioned above are only used to distinguish different triggering events. In fact, "first time period," "second time period," "third time period," and "fourth time period" only serve as time limits for the occurrence of the corresponding triggering events. In one possible case, one or more of "first time period," "second time period," "third time period," and "fourth time period" may be equal. For example, "first time period" may be equal to "second time period."

[0169] Among them, "first measurement threshold", "second measurement threshold", "first threshold" and "second threshold" can be selected as threshold values ​​pre-configured by the network device, which are used to trigger the terminal device to report the first information.

[0170] 5. Received cell handover command;

[0171] In some embodiments, cell handover commands include, for example, LTM cell switch commands.

[0172] Optionally, the cell handover command carries a reporting instruction, which is used to instruct the terminal device to report the first information.

[0173] 6. Begin cell switch execution;

[0174] 7. Generate an RRC configuration complete message.

[0175] • The first piece of information can be truncated:

[0176] In some embodiments, if the available uplink resources are insufficient to transmit the first information and its corresponding header, the first information is truncated / omissioned. Optionally, the terminal device may truncate the first information based on the available uplink resources. For example, the number of bits occupied by the truncated first information and its corresponding header may be less than or equal to the number of bits available in the uplink resources.

[0177] In some embodiments, the first information can be truncated in one or more of the following ways:

[0178] Follow the first piece of information from front to back;

[0179] Follow the first piece of information from back to front;

[0180] According to frequency band priority from high to low;

[0181] According to frequency band priority from low to high;

[0182] According to the narrow frequency band from top to bottom;

[0183] According to the narrow frequency band from bottom to top;

[0184] According to the measurement results of beam or spatial resources, from high to low;

[0185] According to the measurement results of beam or spatial resources, from low to high;

[0186] According to the priority of beam or airspace resources, from high to low;

[0187] Prioritize beam or airspace resources from low to high.

[0188] Follow the instructions on the network.

[0189] Optionally, the first information can be truncated according to its order. Generally, the first information and / or bits of the first information are retained.

[0190] Optionally, the first information can be truncated based on the priority of the frequency band corresponding to it. The frequency band priority is pre-defined by network configuration or protocol. For example, the frequency band priorities from high to low are as follows:

[0191] i. Wideband Channel State Information (WSCIS);

[0192] ii. Even subbands for CSI with high priority;

[0193] iii. Odd subbands for CSI with high priority;

[0194] iv. Even subbands for CSI with low priority;

[0195] v. Odd subbands for CSI with low priority.

[0196] Optionally, the first information can be truncated based on the order of the narrow bands corresponding to the first information. For example, the first information can be truncated from front to back according to the index of the narrow bands corresponding to the first information; or, the first information can be truncated from back to front according to the index of the narrow bands corresponding to the first information.

[0197] Optionally, the first information may be truncated based on the order of measurement results from beam or spatial resources. Generally, higher information and / or bits of the measurement results corresponding to the beam or spatial resources in the first information are retained.

[0198] Optionally, the first information may be truncated based on the priority of beam or spatial resources. The priority of the beam or spatial resources is determined based on one or more of the following factors:

[0199] Is it associated with a pre-activated TCI status?

[0200] Whether it is the beam selected during the random access process;

[0201] Whether to associate with a configured grant (CG);

[0202] Whether it is associated with Conflict-Free Random Access (CFRA) resources.

[0203] • Frequency of reporting first information:

[0204] In some embodiments, the first information can be reported all at once; or, the first information can be reported multiple times. Alternatively, this can be understood as: the terminal device supports reporting the first information all at once, or supports reporting the first information multiple times.

[0205] If the terminal device supports reporting the first piece of information at once, then regardless of whether the first piece of information is truncated, the terminal device will only report it once.

[0206] If the terminal device supports multiple reporting of the first information, the terminal device may choose to report the first information periodically, semi-periodically, or non-periodically according to the network configuration.

[0207] When the first piece of information is truncated into multiple sub-information, these sub-information pieces are reported in multiple separate reports. For example, if the first piece of information is truncated due to insufficient available uplink resources to transmit the first piece of information and its corresponding header, the truncated portion of the first piece of information can still be reported. Alternatively, this can be understood as the terminal device optionally truncating the first piece of information into multiple sub-information pieces and reporting each sub-information piece separately when it needs to report the first piece of information.

[0208] • Resources used for transmitting the first piece of information:

[0209] In some embodiments, the resources used for transmitting the first information include one or more of the following: CG, Dynamic Grant (DG), Special Cell, Secondary Cell, Candidate Cell, Serving Cell, and First Cell.

[0210] • Resources carrying primary information:

[0211] In some embodiments, the first information is carried in the Media Access Control Control Unit (MAC CE) and / or Uplink Control Information (UCI).

[0212] Figure 7 illustrates a flowchart of an information reporting method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a terminal device and includes:

[0213] Step 420: If the first information and / or the packet header corresponding to the first information are successfully transmitted, the terminal device cancels the first state.

[0214] The first state is used to report the first piece of information. Alternatively, it can be understood as the state that triggers the reporting of the first piece of information. For example, if the terminal device meets the first condition in the first state, it will trigger the reporting of the first piece of information.

[0215] In some embodiments, successful transmission of the first information and / or the header corresponding to the first information is determined based on one or more of the following conditions:

[0216] The terminal device received the uplink schedule;

[0217] The terminal device receives the downlink schedule;

[0218] The terminal device receives the new data transmission schedule;

[0219] The terminal device receives new transmission scheduling from the same Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process;

[0220] The terminal device receives scheduling from the same HARQ process. For example, if the terminal device detects that the network device has allocated uplink resources to it, the terminal device cancels the first state.

[0221] For example, if a terminal device detects that a network device has allocated downlink resources to it, the terminal device cancels the first state.

[0222] For example, if a terminal device detects that a network device has allocated new initial transmission resources to it, the terminal device cancels the first state.

[0223] For example, if a terminal device detects that a network device has allocated new initial transmission resources with the same HARQ to it, the terminal device cancels the first state.

[0224] For example, if a terminal device detects that a network device has allocated the same HARQ retransmission resources to it, the terminal device cancels the first state.

[0225] The method provided in this embodiment allows the terminal device to reduce resource consumption by canceling the first state after successfully transmitting the first information and / or the packet header corresponding to the first information.

[0226] Figure 8 illustrates a flowchart of an information reporting method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a terminal device and includes:

[0227] Step 520: If there are no uplink resources available for transmitting the first information, the terminal device triggers a random access procedure and / or triggers the sending of the first request.

[0228] In some embodiments, the first request is used to request uplink resources for transmitting first information. The first request is carried by one or more of a Scheduling Request (SR), a UCI, and a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). Alternatively, it can be understood that if the terminal device does not have uplink resources for transmitting the first information, one or more of SR, UCI, and PUCCH are triggered to request uplink resources for transmitting the first information.

[0229] In some embodiments, if a first request conflicts with other uplink requests, the first request is given priority, and / or the first request is considered valid.

[0230] For example, if one or more of SR, UCI, and PUCCH conflict with other PUCCH resources, the terminal implements the selection, and / or considers the PUCCH resource associated with the first information to be valid.

[0231] The method provided in this embodiment enables the terminal device to promptly trigger random access and / or send a first request, thereby allowing the terminal device to obtain uplink resources for transmitting first information. This ensures that the terminal device can report first information indicating the channel quality of the first cell to the network device before successfully accessing the first cell.

[0232] Figure 9 illustrates a flowchart of an information sending and receiving method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is jointly executed by a terminal device and a network device, and includes:

[0233] Step 1: Before successfully accessing the first cell, the terminal device reports the first piece of information to the network device;

[0234] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the channel quality of the first cell.

[0235] Optionally, the terminal device reports the first piece of information after receiving the cell handover command and before completing the cell handover. For example, the terminal device reports the first piece of information during the cell handover preparation process.

[0236] In some embodiments, the first information is used to request the network device to configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device. The earlier the terminal device reports the first information, the sooner the network device is likely to configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device. For example, after receiving the first information, the network device will configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device in the next scheduling.

[0237] In some embodiments, the first cell is the target cell to which the terminal device will hand over during the cell handover process. The target cell corresponds to the source cell. Here, the source cell refers to the cell where the terminal device is currently located, and the target cell can be understood as the new cell to which the terminal device will hand over next.

[0238] For an introduction to the first information, please refer to the above embodiments.

[0239] It should be noted that the content described in the various method embodiments executed by the terminal device above is applicable to the terminal device shown in Figure 9. For details not described in detail in this embodiment, please refer to the embodiments above, and they will not be repeated here.

[0240] Step 2: Configure the MCS level for the terminal devices in the network.

[0241] In some embodiments, upon receiving the first information, the network device will configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device in the next scheduling. Alternatively, this can be understood as the network device configuring a higher MCS level for the terminal device in the most recent scheduling after receiving the first information.

[0242] For example, as shown in Figure 10, assuming that the network device receives the first information before the terminal device successfully accesses the first cell, and the most recent scheduling after receiving the first information is also before the terminal device successfully accesses the first cell, the network device will configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device before the terminal device successfully accesses the first cell. After the terminal device successfully accesses the first cell, it can directly use the configuration corresponding to the higher MCS level for data transmission, without having to go through a series of operations to configure a higher MCS level for the terminal device after the terminal device successfully accesses the first cell, as in related technologies.

[0243] Optionally, after successfully accessing the first cell, the terminal device performs CSI reporting in the relevant technology.

[0244] It should be noted that the content described in the various method embodiments executed by the network device above is applicable to the network device shown in Figure 9. For details not described in detail in this embodiment, please refer to the embodiments above, and they will not be repeated here.

[0245] The technical solutions provided in this application are intended to solve the following problems:

[0246] A CSI reporting format for the target cell (which has not yet been successfully accessed) is available. UCI relies on a pre-configured PUCCH resource, which may cause CSI reporting delays.

[0247] Related technology: CSI reports were introduced starting with Rel-15 for channel state status reporting, which helps control the MCS level, power control parameters, etc.

Alternatively, this can be understood as the network device configuring a higher MCS level for the terminal device in the most recent scheduling after receiving the first information.

[0324] The first information is sent by the terminal device before successfully accessing the first cell. The first information is used to indicate the channel quality of the first cell.

[0325] In some embodiments, since the first information is sent by the terminal device before successfully accessing the first cell, the "network device" in this application embodiment includes a "source network device" and / or a "target network device". Here, "source network device" is understood as a network device in the source cell, or a network device in the serving cell where the terminal device is currently located.
