The term "and/or" in this article is just an association relationship that describes an associated object, which means that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and/or B, which can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, exist alone B these three cases. In addition, the character “/” in this article generally indicates that the related objects before and after it are in an “or” relationship.

As people speed, latency, high-speed mobility, energy efficiency and the future of life in the pursuit of the business of diversity, complexity, for the third Generation Partnership Project ^{(3 rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP} ) ISO began the development of 5G . The main application scenarios of 5G are: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Low Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC), and Mass Machine Type Communication (mMTC).

On the one hand, eMBB still aims at users' access to multimedia content, services and data, and its demand is growing rapidly. On the other hand, since eMBB may be deployed in different scenarios, such as indoors, urban areas, and rural areas, its capabilities and requirements are also quite different, so it cannot be generalized and must be analyzed in detail in conjunction with specific deployment scenarios. Typical applications of URLLC include: industrial automation, power automation, telemedicine operations (surgery), traffic safety assurance, etc. Typical characteristics of mMTC include: high connection density, small data volume, delay-insensitive services, low cost and long service life of modules.

In the early deployment of NR, complete NR coverage is difficult to obtain, so typical network coverage is wide area LTE coverage and NR island coverage mode. And a lot of LTE is deployed below 6GHz, and there is very little spectrum below 6GHz available for 5G. Therefore, NR must study spectrum applications above 6 GHz, while high frequency bands have limited coverage and fast signal fading. At the same time, in order to protect the early investment of mobile operators in LTE, a working mode of tight cooperation between LTE and NR was proposed.

NR can also be deployed independently. NR will be deployed on high frequencies in the future. In order to improve coverage, in 5G, a beam scanning (beam sweeping) mechanism is introduced to meet the coverage requirements (space for coverage, time for space), as shown in Figure 2. After the introduction of beam, the synchronization signal needs to be sent in each beam direction. The 5G synchronization signal is given in the form of a synchronization signal block (SS/PBCH block, SSB), including the primary synchronization signal (Primary Synchronisation Signal, PSS), Secondary synchronization signal (Secondary Synchronisation Signal, SSS), and physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel, PBCH), as shown in Figure 3. The synchronization signal of 5G appears periodically in the time domain in the form of a synchronization signal burst (SS burst), as shown in FIG. 4.

The actual number of beams transmitted in each cell is determined by the network configuration, but the frequency at which the cell is located determines the maximum number of beams that can be configured, as shown in Table 1 below.

频率范围Frequency Range	L(最多的beam个数)L (maximum number of beams)
up to 3(2.4)GHzup to 3(2.4)GHz	44
3(2.4)GHz—6GHz3(2.4)GHz—6GHz	88
6GHz—52.6GHz6GHz—52.6GHz	6464

Table 1

In Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement, the measurement signal can be SSB measurement, that is, the SSS signal in the SSB or the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) signal of the PBCH is measured to obtain the beam measurement result and the cell Measurement results. In addition, a UE in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection state may also configure a channel status indication reference signal (Channel Status Indicator Reference (CSI-RS) as a reference signal for cell measurement.

For SSB-based measurements, the actual SSB transmission location of each cell may be different, and the SS burst period may also be different. Therefore, in order to enable the UE to save energy during the measurement process, the network side configures the UE with SSB measurement timing configuration (SS/PBCH block measurement measurement configuration, SMTC). The UE only needs to perform measurement in the SMTC window, as shown in FIG. 5.

Since the actual SSB position transmitted by each cell may be different, in order to allow the UE to find the actual transmitted SSB position as soon as possible, the network side will also configure the actual SSB transmission position measured by the UE for the UE, such as The union of SSB actual transmission positions is shown in Table 2 below:

Table 2

For the idle state, the measurement configuration of the inactive state comes from the network system broadcast configuration. These configuration information are configured with the cell as the granularity (per cell), such as the list of measured different frequency points, as shown in Table 3 below:

table 3

The measurement configuration for the connection status is configured through dedicated signaling, and this configuration is also configured per cell.

5G communication technology has the characteristics of large bandwidth, high peak rate, and low delay. For example, 5G can be transmitted at a rate of several Gbps or several tens of Gbps over hundreds of MHz or even several GHz bandwidth. Therefore, 5G technology can support real-time high-definition video live broadcast, high-definition movie download, AR, VR and other services, which is expected to bring a very good user experience, but it is also very expensive. How to consider the energy saving of 5G terminals is a problem to be solved. Power saving mechanism in current measurement:

RRM measurement power saving mechanism in RRC idle state

In the RRC idle state, the terminal needs to perform co-frequency or inter-frequency measurement to support mobility operations based on the measurement results, such as performing cell reselection.

In the RRC connected state, the terminal needs to continuously perform co-frequency or inter-frequency RRM measurement based on the network configuration to support mobility operations, such as handover.

In order to save power for the terminal during the measurement process, for the RRC idle state, the following measurement rules are currently supported:

For co-frequency measurement, if the measurement result of the serving cell satisfies: Srxlev>SIntraSearchP and Squal>SIntraSearchQ, the terminal may choose not to perform co-frequency measurement; otherwise, the terminal needs to perform co-frequency measurement.

For inter-frequency measurement and inter-RAT measurement, the following rules are used:

-For NR frequency points or inter-RAT frequency bands with higher priority than the current NR frequency point reselection, the terminal needs to perform inter-frequency or inter-system measurement;

-For NR frequencies or inter-RAT frequencies that are lower than or have the same reselection priority as the current NR frequency reselection priority;

-If the measurement result of the serving cell satisfies Srxlev>SnonIntraSearchP and Squal>SnonIntraSearchQ terminal I can choose not to perform inter-frequency or inter-system measurement;

-Otherwise, the terminal performs inter-frequency or inter-system measurement.

RRM measurement power saving mechanism in RRC connected state

For the terminal in the RRC connected state, RRM measurement may be performed based on the S-measure criterion, and the S-measure criterion may be based on SS/PBCH measurement or CSI-RS measurement. That is: if the RSRP obtained by the terminal based on SS/PBCH block or CSI-RS measurement is greater than the corresponding threshold ssb-RSRP or csi-RSRP, the terminal only needs to perform the measurement of the serving cell, and does not perform the measurement outside the serving cell; otherwise, The terminal performs RRM measurement according to the configuration of the MO.

In the above technology, both the measurement configuration in the idle, inactive state, and the measurement configuration in the connected state are configured for the current serving cell, and the UE also performs the configuration according to the network side configuration. In cell deployment, each cell's frequency point will be assigned a frequency priority. At the same time, idle, inactive UEs will continuously search for high-priority frequency layers. At the same time, the UE does not know which high-priority frequency layers exist in the surrounding area. Therefore, blindly searching for the high priority frequency layer will also waste UE power.

In NR, due to the introduction of beam, although the UE is still moving in the current cell, the UE has moved under the coverage of different beams. Since the UE is under different beams in the same cell, it can accurately locate the location of the UE to a certain extent. . For example, if the UE is under a certain beam, the network deployment and topology structure of the UE are different at this time, as shown in FIG. 6. However, the above power saving mechanism does not fully consider the UE location information; therefore, there is some room for further optimization. This application proposes a measurement configuration method for RRM measurement, which aims to further reduce the measurement power consumption of the terminal.

FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of a measurement configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, the measurement configuration side includes the following steps:

Step 701: The terminal obtains first configuration information, where the first configuration information includes at least one measurement configuration, and each measurement configuration is associated with at least one beam.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal is any device that can communicate with a network, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, or the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal obtains the first configuration information from the network side. Specifically, the terminal may obtain the first configuration information in the following manner:

Manner 1: When the terminal is in an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal obtains the first configuration information from a system broadcast message or dedicated signaling.

Specifically, for UEs in idle and inactive states, in a cell that supports beam sweeping, the network side configures the measurement configuration of per beam or per beam group through system broadcast messages. Here, the measurement configuration of per beam means that each measurement configuration is associated with one beam, and the measurement configuration of per beam group means that each measurement configuration is associated with multiple beams (ie, a group of beams). Here, the UE measures the public beam configured in the system broadcast message.

Here, the measurement configuration includes at least one of the following: the measured frequency list, the actual transmission position of the SSB, SMTC, and frequency priority. It should be noted that the actual transmission position of the SSB is also SSB-ToMeasure.

Manner 2: When the terminal is in an activated state, the terminal obtains the first configuration information from dedicated signaling.

Specifically, for a UE in a connected state, in a cell that supports beam sweeping, the network side configures the measurement configuration of per beam or per beam group through dedicated signaling. Here, since the UE is in the connected state, the UE can measure the dedicated beam; or, the UE can measure the public beam configured in the system broadcast message.

Here, the measurement configuration includes at least one of the following: a measured frequency list, an actual transmission position of the SSB, SMTC, a measurement white list list, and a measurement black list list. It should be noted that the actual transmission position of the SSB is also SSB-ToMeasure. The measurement whitelist provides the content that needs to be measured, and the measurement blacklist provides the content that does not need to be measured.

Step 702: The terminal determines at least one target beam satisfying the first condition according to the beam measurement result of the target cell.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines at least one target beam satisfying the first condition according to the beam measurement result of the target cell, which may be but not limited to the following manner:

1) The terminal measures each beam of the target cell to obtain the reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP) and/or reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ) of each beam; the terminal is based on For the RSRP and/or RSRQ of each beam, the first N beams with the largest value of RSRP and/or RSRQ are selected as target beams, and N≥1.

For example, the UE measures all beams in the cell and obtains the measurement results of each beam: RSRP and/or RSRQ. The values of RSRP and/or RSRQ are sorted from large to small, and the top 1 beam is the target beam.

For example, the UE measures all beams in the cell and obtains the measurement results of each beam: RSRP and/or RSRQ. The values of RSRP and/or RSRQ are sorted from large to small. N beams from Top 1 to Top N Be the target beam.

2) The terminal measures each beam of the target cell to obtain the reference signal received power RSRP and/or reference signal reception quality RSRQ of each beam; the terminal selects RSRP and RSRP based on the RSRP and/or RSRQ of each beam /Or M beams whose value of the RSRQ is greater than or equal to the first threshold value are regarded as target beams, and M≥1.

For example, the UE measures all beams in the cell and obtains the measurement results of each beam: RSRP and/or RSRQ. Select all beams with the value of RSRP and/or RSRQ greater than or equal to the first threshold. The number of all beams of a threshold is M.

3) The terminal measures each beam of the target cell to obtain RSRP and/or RSRQ of each beam; based on the RSRP and/or RSRQ of each beam, the terminal selects the value of RSRP and/or RSRQ to be greater than or equal to At most P beams of the first threshold, as the target beam, P≥1.

For example, the UE measures all beams in the cell and obtains the measurement results of each beam: RSRP and/or RSRQ. Select a partial beam whose RSRP and/or RSRQ value is greater than or equal to the first threshold. The number of partial beams of a threshold is P. The first P beams greater than or equal to the first threshold may be selected.

Step 703: The terminal determines an effective measurement configuration from the at least one measurement configuration based on the at least one target beam, and performs a measurement operation based on the effective measurement configuration.

In the embodiment of the present application, the effective measurement configuration may be determined as follows:

Case 1: The number of the target beam is one

1) For a measurement configuration associated with a beam, if a beam associated with the measurement configuration is the target beam, it is determined that the measurement configuration is an effective measurement configuration; wherein, the terminal configures the effective measurement configuration, The measurement configuration used as the measurement operation.

For example, for the measurement configuration of per beam, a target beam is determined according to the beam measurement result: beam1. If measurement configuration 1 is associated with beam1, measurement configuration 1 is used as the measurement configuration used by the final UE.

2) For a measurement configuration associated with multiple beams, if the multiple beams associated with the measurement configuration include the target beam, determine that the measurement configuration is a valid measurement configuration; where, if in the first configuration information There are multiple valid measurement configurations, then: the terminal uses the multiple valid measurement configurations as the measurement configuration used to perform the measurement operation.

For example: For the measurement configuration of per beam group, determine a target beam according to the beam measurement result: beam1, if measurement configuration 2 is related to beam1 and beam2, measurement configuration 3 is related to beam1, beam3, and measurement configuration 4 is related to beam4, then the measurement will be performed Both configuration 2 and measurement configuration 3 are used as the measurement configuration used by the final UE.

Case 2: There are multiple target beams

1) For a measurement configuration associated with a beam, if a beam associated with the measurement configuration is one of the first beam sets, it is determined that the measurement configuration is a valid measurement configuration; where, if If there are multiple valid measurement configurations in the configuration information, the terminal uses the multiple valid measurement configurations as the measurement configuration used to perform the measurement operation.

For example, for the measurement configuration of perbeam, determine two target beams according to the beam measurement results: beam1 and beam2. If measurement configuration 1 is associated with beam1 and measurement configuration 2 is associated with beam2, both measurement configuration 1 and measurement configuration 2 will be the final The measurement configuration used by the UE.

2) The multiple target beams form a first beam set; for a measurement configuration associated with multiple beams, the multiple beams associated with the measurement configuration form a second beam set, where:

If the second beam set includes the first beam set, determine that the measurement configuration is a valid measurement configuration; or,

If the first beam set includes the second beam set, determine that the measurement configuration is a valid measurement configuration; or,

If there is an intersection between the first beam set and the second beam set, it is determined that the measurement configuration is a valid measurement configuration.

Here, if there are multiple valid measurement configurations in the first configuration information, then:

The terminal uses the multiple valid measurement configurations as the measurement configurations used to perform the measurement operation; or,

The terminal selects at least one target measurement configuration satisfying the second condition from the plurality of effective measurement configurations as the measurement configuration used for performing the measurement operation.

Further, the satisfying the second condition means:

The number of intersections of the second beam set and the first beam set associated with the measurement configuration is the largest; or,

The number of intersections of the second beam set and the first beam set associated with the measurement configuration is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

For example: for the measurement configuration of per beam group, the beam associated with the measurement configuration is called beam set A, and multiple beams are determined according to the beam measurement results. The multiple beams are called beam set B, then:

(1) If beam set A is greater than or equal to beam set B, determine all beam sets A including beam set B, and take the union of the measurement configurations corresponding to all beam set A as the last measurement configuration used by the UE; as in the case of FIG. 8 a and situation b.

(2) If beam set A is smaller than beam set B, determine all beam sets A containing at least one beam in beam set B, and use the union of the measurement configurations corresponding to all beam set A as the last measurement configuration used by the UE, or, determine For beam set A that has the largest intersection with beam set B, the union of the measurement configurations corresponding to beam set A is used as the last measurement configuration used by the UE; as in case c in FIG. 8.

(3) If beam set A and beam set B do not belong to a relationship, but there is an intersection, determine all beam set A that contains at least one beam in beam set B, and use the union of the measurement configurations corresponding to all beam set A as the UE The last measurement configuration used, or the beam set A that has the largest intersection with the beam set B is determined, and the union of the measurement configurations corresponding to the beam set A is used as the last measurement configuration used by the UE; as shown in case d in FIG. 8.

In the above solution, the first configuration information includes a measurement configuration list, and each measurement configuration in the measurement configuration list is configured with an SSB index or a group of SSB indexes to associate with the measurement configuration. As shown in Table 4 and Table 5 below,

Table 4

table 5

In the embodiment of the present application, each measurement configuration in the first configuration information and the actually transmitted beam are associated in the following manner: each measurement configuration in the first configuration information is in the first configuration information The sequence number corresponds to the sequence number of the actually transmitted beam, as shown in Table 6 below. Here, interFreqCarrierFreqListForSSBlist is the one-to-one correspondence between the actual transmission SSB index indicated in the SIB1 for each interFreqCarrierFreqList in the list.

Table 6

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, for the SSB index or SSB index group associated with the SMTC and/or SSB-ToMeasure in the measurement configuration, the SMTC and/or SSB-ToMeasure configuration to be adopted is determined according to the beam measurement result measured by the UE. No more examples will be given here. The configuration of SSB associated with frequencylist is only SMTC, and/or the configuration of SSB associated with SSB-ToMeasure is configured in perfrequency. SMTC and SSB-ToMeasure can be associated with SSB independently or together. If SMTC and SSB-ToMeasure are configured independently, then configure them separately according to Table 8 below. If they are configured together, configure them according to Table 7 below.

Table 7

Table 8

In the embodiment of the present application, SMTC, ssb-ToMeasure, measurement blacklist (blackCellsToAddModList), and measurement whitelist (whiteCellsToAddModList) can all be associated with an SSB or a group of SSBs in the measurement configuration, and then configured according to Table 9 below.

Table 9

On the other hand, the measurement object list can be associated with an SSB or an SSB group, as shown in Table 10 below:

Table 10

In the embodiment of the present application, for a terminal in an idle, inactive state, the terminal determines whether a frequency layer with a higher frequency priority exists based on the effective measurement configuration. If there is no frequency layer with a higher priority, the terminal The terminal stops the search for the measurement of the high-priority frequency layer until the cell reselection occurs and restarts the measurement of the high-priority frequency layer; or, the terminal receives the first indication information configured by the network side, and the first indication information is used In order to indicate whether to start the high-priority frequency layer search, if the first indication information indicates that the high-priority frequency layer search is not started, the terminal stops the measurement of searching for the high-priority frequency layer until the cell reselection occurs and then starts Measurement of high priority frequency layer.
