Innovation Solution
A beam measurement method where a terminal receives measurement configuration information from a network device, measures beams, and sends results back for more accurate configuration, allowing the network device to select optimal beams for improved communication quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the terminal is configured only on the basis of a measurement result of a cell, then the configuration process is simple, but it is unable to fully consider various factors during configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement process into two distinct levels: cell-level measurement and beam-level measurement. The terminal first performs cell measurement to identify candidate cells, then performs beam measurement on specific beams within those cells. This segmentation allows the system to maintain procedural simplicity while incorporating multiple factors (both cell-level and beam-level characteristics) into the configuration decision, thereby resolving the contradiction between simple configuration process and accurate configuration.
2Measurement precision
If beam measurement is performed to obtain more accurate measurement results, then configuration accuracy is improved, but measurement time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by first performing cell measurement to identify candidate cells before conducting beam measurement. This preliminary filtering step reduces the scope of subsequent beam measurement to only those beams within candidate cells, rather than measuring all beams across all cells. This approach maintains high measurement precision for beam selection while significantly reducing the total measurement time and complexity by avoiding unnecessary measurements in non-candidate cells.

AI summary
Disclosed are a beam measurement method, a terminal and a network device. The method comprises: a terminal receiving measurement configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the measurement configuration information is used for indicating a parameter used when measuring at least one beam; the terminal measuring the at least one beam according to the measurement configuration information to obtain a measurement result; and the terminal sending the measurement result to the network device. By means of the beam measurement method in the present application, a terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by a network device and measures a beam according to the measurement configuration information to obtain a more accurate measurement result based on the beam, so that it is beneficial for the network device to configure the terminal more efficiently according to the measurement result.
