Description

Measurement method and related device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a measurement method and a related apparatus.

Background

In the process of spatial propagation, the quality of the wireless signal is degraded, and this degradation phenomenon is called "path loss". The path loss has a great influence on a communication system, and particularly, for a communication system in a high-frequency electromagnetic wave (millimeter wave) band (for example, a fifth generation (5G) communication system), the high path loss characteristic of the millimeter wave may cause the system to fail to operate normally. In order to realize better cell coverage, a beam forming technology is introduced, and beams have directivity and can effectively resist path loss. In order to obtain better system transmission performance, the communication system needs to ensure that the beam direction alignment of the beam of the network device (such as a base station) and the beam of the terminal is better, and therefore uplink and downlink beam tracking needs to be continuously performed. In the beam tracking process, the terminal needs to measure all wireless signals for beam measurement (beam measurement) sent by the network device before adjusting the working beam.

NR has supported the configuration of a high level parameter repetition in the measurement resource set for guiding terminal behavior. If the repetition in 1 resource set is set to 'on', the terminal may assume that all resources in this resource set employ the same spatial domain transmission filtering, that is, employ the same spatial domain information or transmit beam; if the repetition is set to 'off' in 1 resource set, the terminal does not assume that all resources in the resource set employ the same spatial domain transmission filtering, that is, does not assume that all resources in the resource set employ the same spatial domain information or transmit beams.

As shown in fig. 1A, the transmission beams of the network device include beam 1, beam 2, beam 3, and beam 4, and the reception beams of the terminal include beam 5, beam 6, and beam 7. When the network device uses beam 3 for downlink transmission (i.e., beam 3 is a downlink transmission beam), the terminal may determine beam 6 as the corresponding receive beam, and beam 3 and beam 6 may form a pair of BPLs. Further, when the beam of the network device satisfies the beam correspondence (beam correlation) feature, the reception beam of the network device may be determined from the transmission beam of the network device or the transmission beam of the network device may be determined from the reception beam of the network device.

Currently, the third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) New Radio (NR) release 16R 16 determines to support L1-SINR based measurement and reporting. But if the repetition behavior of the channel measurement reference signal resource set configuration and the repetition behavior of the interference measurement reference signal resource set configuration do not coincide, as described below,

use case 1: { CMR (channel measurement resource), repetition ═ on; IMR (interference measurement resource), repetition off, i.e. the channel measurement resource set repetition is configured to be 'on', and the interference measurement resource set repetition is configured to be 'off'.

Use case 2: { CMR (channel measurement resource), repetition ═ off; IMR (interference measurement resource), repetition on, i.e. the channel measurement resource set repetition is configured to 'off' and the interference measurement resource set repetition is configured to 'on'.

There is no specific behavioral specification at present.

In view of the above problem, embodiments of the present application provide a measurement control method, which is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2A is a flowchart illustrating a measurement control method according to an embodiment of the present application, applied to the communication system shown in fig. 1B, the method including:

and step 2A01, when the terminal carries out measurement and report based on L1-SINR, detecting that the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with that of the interference measurement reference signal resource set.

The sinr (signal to Interference plus Noise ratio), which is the ratio of the received strength of the useful signal to the strength of the received Noise and Interference signals (Noise and Interference), is described as follows.

Here, repetition is used to define whether the resources in the resource set use the same spatial transmission filtering or spatial information. In the NR TS38.214 protocol, the following are:

repetition in NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet is associated with a CSI-RSresource set and defines whether UE can assume the CSI-RS resources withinthe NZP CSI-RS Resource Set are transmitted with the same downlink spatialdomain transmission filter or not as described in Subclause 5.1.6.1.2.

and step 2A02, the terminal determines to respond to the measured and reported event by adopting a preset mode, wherein the preset mode is a response strategy agreed by a protocol.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal performs measurement and reporting based on L1-SINR, and detects that the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, the terminal determines to respond to the measurement and reporting event in a preset manner, where the preset manner is a response policy agreed by a protocol. Therefore, the terminal can solve the problem of the resource set repeption configuration conflict in time through any one of the above modes, avoid causing beam configuration abnormity, and is favorable for improving the beam measurement success rate and stability.

In one possible example, the preset mode comprises any one or more of the following combinations: ignoring the configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and performing the measurement and reporting based on L1-RSRP; or, ignoring a reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and determining that the interference measurement reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set; or, ignoring a reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set, and determining that the channel sounding reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set; or, the measurement and the report are not performed, or the event is determined to be an error event, and the measurement and the report are not performed.

Here, RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) is used. When the condition that the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set is detected, the measurement and the report can be directly carried out according to the layer one RSRP.

As can be seen, in this example, when the terminal detects that the repeat reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the repeat reptition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set, the terminal may ignore the configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set, and perform the measurement and report based on L1-RSRP; or, ignoring a reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and determining that the interference measurement reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set; or, ignoring a reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set, and determining that the channel sounding reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set; or, the measurement and the report are not performed, or the event is determined to be an error event, and the measurement and the report are not performed. Therefore, the terminal can solve the problem of the resource set repeption configuration conflict in time through any one of the above modes, avoid causing beam configuration abnormity, and is favorable for improving the beam measurement success rate and stability.

In a possible example, the preset manner includes ignoring the configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and performing the measurement and reporting based on L1-RSRP; before the terminal determines to respond to the measured and reported event in a preset mode, the method further comprises: the terminal last measurement and report is based on L1-SINR.

The event is that the repetition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the repetition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and it is determined that the latest beam measurement and reporting is based on the L1-SINR, so that the measurement and reporting can be carried out based on the L1-RSRP mode of the layer 1 received signal reference power during the reporting and measurement.

It can be seen that, in this example, when it is detected that the repeat reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the repeat reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and the terminal measures and reports for the last time based on L1-SINR, the configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set is ignored, and the measurement and reporting are performed based on L1-RSRP, so that the problem of the reptition configuration conflict of the resource set can be solved in time, occurrence of beam configuration abnormality is avoided, and improvement of the success rate and stability of beam measurement is facilitated.

In one possible example, the preset manner includes ignoring a reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and determining that the interference measurement reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set; before the terminal determines to respond to the measured and reported event in a preset mode, the method further comprises: the terminal measures and reports last time based on L1-SINR, or the repeption configuration of a channel measurement reference signal resource set is on.

The latest measurement report is based on L1-SINR, or it is detected that the reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set is on, when the reptition configurations of the signal resource sets are inconsistent, both the interference sounding reference signal resource set and the channel sounding reference signal resource set can adopt the same reptition configuration, that is, the reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set is used for measurement and reporting.

It can be seen that, in this example, when it is detected that the repeat reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set and the reptition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set are inconsistent, and the terminal measures and reports for the last time based on L1-SINR, or when the reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set is on, the terminal ignores the reptition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set, and determines that the interference sounding reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set, so that the problem of resource set reptition configuration conflict can be solved in time, which avoids causing beam configuration abnormality, and is beneficial to improve the success rate and stability of beam sounding.

In one possible example, the determining that the interference measurement reference signal resource set is configured with a repetition of the channel measurement reference signal resource set refers to: if the repetition of the channel sounding reference signal resource set is configured to be on, assuming that all resources of the interference sounding reference signal resource set adopt the same transmission beam; if the repetition of the channel sounding reference signal resource set is configured to be off, it is assumed that different transmission beams are adopted in all resources of the interference sounding reference signal resource set.

It can be seen that, in this example, in a scenario where the repetization configuration of the reference signal resource set conflicts, the terminal may ignore the actual repetization configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and unify the repetization configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set into the repetization configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set, so that the configuration modes of the transmission beams of all resources of the reference signal resource set of the terminal can be determined in time, the terminal behavior is normalized in time, and an anomaly is avoided.

In one possible example, the preset manner includes ignoring a reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set, and determining that the channel sounding reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set; before the terminal determines to respond to the measured and reported event in a preset mode, the method further comprises: the terminal measures and reports the last time based on L1-SINR or the repeption configuration of an interference measurement reference signal resource set is on.

The terminal reports the interference measurement reference signal resource set according to the channel measurement reference signal resource set, wherein the last measurement report of the terminal is based on L1-SINR, or the repetization configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set is detected to be on, when the repetization configurations of the signal resource set are inconsistent, the interference measurement reference signal resource set and the channel measurement reference signal resource set can both adopt the same repetization configuration, that is, the repetization configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set is used for measurement and reporting.

It can be seen that, in this example, when it is detected that the repeat reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set and the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set are inconsistent, and the terminal measures and reports for the last time based on L1-SINR, or when the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set is on, the terminal ignores the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set, and determines that the channel measurement reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, so that the problem of resource set reptition configuration conflict can be solved in time, abnormal beam configuration is avoided, and beam success rate measurement and stability are improved.

In one possible example, the determining that the channel sounding reference signal resource set is configured with the repetition of the interference sounding reference signal resource set refers to: if the repetition of the interference measurement reference signal resource set is configured to be on, assuming that all resources of the channel measurement reference signal resource set adopt the same transmission beam; if the repetition of the interference measurement reference signal resource set is configured to be off, it is assumed that different transmission beams are adopted in all resources of the channel measurement reference signal resource set.

It can be seen that, in this example, in a scenario where the repetization configuration of the reference signal resource set conflicts, the terminal may ignore the actual repetization configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set, and unify the repetization configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set into the repetization configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, so that the configuration modes of the transmission beams of all resources of the reference signal resource set of the terminal can be determined in time, the terminal behavior is normalized in time, and an anomaly is avoided.

The following is a detailed description with reference to specific examples.

Example 1, assuming that the mobile communication network accessed by the terminal is a 5G network of an SA networking, and when a rule pre-configured by the terminal and the base station conflicts with a repetization configuration of a resource set, the terminal falls back to the L1-RSRP mode, as shown in fig. 2B, the terminal performs the following operations:

step 2B01, when the terminal carries out measurement and report based on L1-SINR, the terminal detects that the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set;

step 2B02, the terminal last measurement and report are based on L1-SINR;

and step 2B03, the terminal ignores the configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and performs the measurement and report based on L1-RSRP.

As can be seen, in this example, in a scenario where a conflict occurs in the repetition configuration of the reference signal resource set, the terminal can avoid the conflict in a mode of mode return, which is beneficial to standardizing terminal behaviors and avoiding occurrence of an exception.

Example 2, assuming that the mobile communication network accessed by the terminal is a 5G network of an SA networking, and a rule pre-configured by the terminal and the base station configures interference measurement reference signal resource sets to follow a repetition configuration of a channel measurement reference signal resource set when a repetition configuration conflict of the resource sets, as shown in fig. 2C, the terminal performs the following operations:

step 2C01, when the terminal carries out measurement and report based on L1-SINR, the terminal detects that the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set;

step 2C02, the repeptitation of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is configured to be on;

step 2C03, the terminal ignores the repetition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and determines that the interference measurement reference signal resource set adopts the repetition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set.

Example 3, assuming that the mobile communication network accessed by the terminal is a 5G network of an NSA networking, and when a rule pre-configured by the terminal and the base station configures a conflict for a repetization configuration of a resource set, the resource set of a channel sounding reference signal follows the repetization configuration of the resource set of an interference sounding reference signal, as shown in fig. 2D, the terminal performs the following operations:

step 2D01, when the terminal carries out measurement and report based on L1-SINR, the terminal detects that the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with the reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set;

and step 2D02, the terminal ignores the repetition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set, and determines that the channel measurement reference signal resource set adopts the repetition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set.

Example 4, assuming that the mobile communication network accessed by the terminal is a 5G network of the NSA networking, and when a rule pre-configured by the terminal and the base station configures a conflict for the repeption of the resource set, as shown in fig. 2E, the terminal performs the following operations:

and step 2E01, when the terminal carries out measurement and report based on L1-SINR, detecting that the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with that of the interference measurement reference signal resource set.

And step 2E02, the terminal does not perform the measurement and report.

As can be seen, in this example, in a scenario where the repetition configuration of the reference signal resource set conflicts, the terminal can directly suspend the measurement and report, so as to normalize the terminal behavior in time and avoid an exception.

When measurement and report are carried out based on L1-SINR, detecting that the repetition configuration of a channel measurement reference signal resource set is inconsistent with that of an interference measurement reference signal resource set; and determining to respond to the measured and reported event in a preset mode, wherein the preset mode is a response strategy agreed by a protocol.

In one possible example, the preset mode includes any one or more of the following combinations: ignoring the configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and performing the measurement and reporting based on L1-RSRP; or, ignoring a reptition configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and determining that the interference measurement reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set; or, ignoring a reptition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set, and determining that the channel sounding reference signal resource set adopts the reptition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set; or, the measurement and the report are not performed, or the event is determined to be an error event, and the measurement and the report are not performed.

In one possible example, the preset manner includes ignoring a repetization configuration of the interference measurement reference signal resource set, and determining that the interference measurement reference signal resource set adopts the repetization configuration of the channel measurement reference signal resource set; before the terminal determines to respond to the measured and reported event in a preset mode, the method further comprises: the terminal measures and reports last time based on L1-SINR, or the repeption configuration of a channel measurement reference signal resource set is on.

In one possible example, the preset manner includes ignoring a repetition configuration of the channel sounding reference signal resource set, and determining that the channel sounding reference signal resource set adopts the repetition configuration of the interference sounding reference signal resource set; before the terminal determines to respond to the measured and reported event in a preset mode, the method further comprises: the terminal measures and reports the last time based on L1-SINR or the repeption configuration of an interference measurement reference signal resource set is on.
