Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for measuring a reference signal.
Background
The 5G cells need to periodically send Reference Signal SSB (SS/PBCH Block, Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel Block, Synchronization Signal Block), each 5G terminal needs to continuously measure RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power)/RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) of the Reference Signal sent by the cell, and according to the measurement result, the connected terminal determines whether to trigger a measurement report, so that the network can switch the terminal to a cell with better Signal.
When the terminal calculates the reference signal measurement result RSRP/RSRQ, layer three filtering is carried out on the basis of the measurement sampling value provided by the physical layer, so that the situation that the measurement result is inaccurate due to severe jitter of the measurement sampling is avoided. The layer three filtering is that the terminal high layer performs weighted average on the latest measurement sampling value provided by the physical layer and the measurement result obtained after the previous filtering to obtain the latest measurement result. When the current service cell RSRP/RSRQ value measured by the terminal is lower than the RSRP/RSRQ value of the adjacent cell by a certain amount, triggering measurement report, and triggering switching by the network according to the measurement result reported by the terminal to order the terminal to be accessed to the specified adjacent cell to continue the service.
In the current 5G technical research, a 5G network may be deployed on an unlicensed spectrum, and a 5G cell operating in the unlicensed spectrum may be an independent cell, that is, similar to a cell operating in a licensed spectrum, and may independently send a system broadcast message, and independently accept access of a UE, so as to transmit uplink and downlink data for the UE. Since the channel is shared, in order to ensure fair coexistence with the WiFi system, the 5G base station and the terminal operating in the unlicensed spectrum must perform LBT (Listen Before Talk) operation Before transmitting data, where the LBT 'Listen Before Talk' means that when a wireless device (including the base station and the UE) operating in the unlicensed spectrum prepares to transmit data, it first monitors the wireless channel condition, and only when detecting that the wireless channel is idle, it can occupy the channel to transmit data, and if the channel is busy, it cannot use the wireless channel, and needs to wait for the next transmission opportunity.
Based on the prior art scheme, when the 5G cell works in the unlicensed spectrum, an LBT operation is performed before sending the reference signal, and if the LBT fails (i.e., the channel is busy and there may be other devices transmitting), the sending of the reference signal is discarded, and a next sending opportunity is waited. If the terminal physical layer just carries out reference signal sampling at the moment, the obtained sampling value is very low, so that the measurement result obtained by the high layer based on the filtering of the sampling value has serious deviation. Because two situations, namely reference signal loss and signal strength/quality difference, caused by LBT failure cannot be distinguished, a terminal may report a measurement report incorrectly under the condition that a serving cell signal is good, and handover is not properly triggered, and at this time, a neighbor cell signal is not good enough, so that the terminal cannot be successfully accessed to a neighbor cell, and a call drop occurs, which affects user experience.

and when the appointed monitoring window is finished, the PDCCH is not monitored any more.

The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail by way of examples in a specific context.
Scenario one, cell 1 of the 5G base station operates in unlicensed spectrum, periodically transmits a reference signal SSB with a period of 5ms, and terminal UE1 is connected to cell 1 with better channel conditions.
1) The base station does not successfully send the reference signal of the cell 1 due to LBT failure at time t1, at this time, the UE1 tries to receive the reference signal and measure RSRP/RSRQ, the obtained RSRP/RSRQ value is lower than a preset threshold Th, the UE1 physical layer submits the RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to a higher layer, because the UE1 cannot judge whether the RSRP/RSRQ measurement value is caused by poor channel conditions or due to LBT failure of the base station, the UE1 starts a monitoring window, and the window duration is 20 ms;
2) at time t2(t2 ═ t1+5ms), the base station still fails to perform LBT, and thus does not send a reference signal,
3) at time t3(t3 ═ t1+10ms), the base station performs LBT success, the cell 1 reference signal is successfully transmitted, while the base station transmits PDCCH scrambled with RM-RNTI, carrying DCI information thereon, indicating that 2 consecutive reference signals were discarded before this time due to LBT failure;
4) UE1 receives the RM-RNTI scrambled PDCCH at t3, receives the reference signals and measures to get a new RSRP/RSRQ value (which is higher than the preset threshold Th), and based on the DCI information on the received PDCCH, UE1 knows that 2 reference signals were dropped before t3, including the reference signal at time t1, so UE1 delivers the latest RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to the higher layer and instructs to perform layer three filtering by replacing the previous measurement value with the value.
5) The UE1 high layer receives the indication of the physical layer, performs the layer three filtering again based on the latest RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to obtain an accurate measurement result, finds that the current serving cell signal is good enough, and does not need to trigger a measurement report.
In scenario two, cell 2 of the 5G base station operates in an unlicensed spectrum, periodically transmits a reference signal SSB with a period of 10ms, both terminals UE2 and UE3 are connected to cell 2, UE2 is located in the center of the cell and has a good channel condition, but UE3 is located at the edge of the cell and therefore has a poor channel condition.
1) At time t1, due to LBT failure, the base station does not successfully send the reference signal of cell 2, at this time, UE2 tries to receive the reference signal and obtains an RSRP/RSRQ value, which is lower than a preset threshold Th, and UE2 physical layer submits the RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to a higher layer, because UE2 cannot judge whether the RSRP/RSRQ measurement value is caused by poor channel conditions or due to LBT failure of the base station, UE2 starts a monitoring window, and the window duration is 80 ms;
2) at time t2(t2 ═ t1+10ms), LBT operation of the base station still fails, and thus the reference signal is not successfully sent, at this time, UE3 attempts to receive the reference signal and obtain RSRP/RSRQ measurement values, and UE3 physical layer submits the measurement values to higher layers, and since the RSRP/RSRQ values are lower than a preset threshold Th, UE3 also starts a listening window, the window duration being 80 ms;
3) at time t3(t3 ═ t1+20ms), the base station performs LBT failure, discarding the reference signal of cell 2;
4) at time t4(t4 ═ t1+30ms), the base station performs LBT success, the cell 2 reference signal is successfully transmitted, while the base station transmits the PDCCH scrambled with RM-RNTI, which carries DCI information indicating that 3 reference signals were dropped due to LBT failure before this time;
5) the UE2 receives the PDCCH scrambled by the RM-RNTI, receives the reference signal and obtains a new RSRP/RSRQ value (the value is higher than the threshold), the UE2 determines that the reference signal is discarded at the time t1 based on the received DCI information, so that the UE2 physical layer delivers the latest RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to the higher layer and indicates the value to replace the previous measurement value for layer three filtering, and after the UE2 higher layer receives the indication, the layer three filtering is carried out again based on the latest RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to obtain an accurate measurement result, and the current serving cell signal is found to be good enough without triggering a measurement report;
the UE3 also receives the RM-RNTI scrambled PDCCH, receives the reference signal and obtains a new RSRP/RSRQ value, the UE3 determines that the reference signal is discarded at time t2 based on the received DCI information, the UE3 physical layer delivers the latest RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to the higher layer, and instructs the previous measurement value to be replaced with the value for layer three filtering. Because the UE3 has a poor channel condition, the measurement value is still lower than the preset threshold Th, after the UE3 high layer receives the indication, the layer three filtering is performed again based on the latest RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to obtain an accurate measurement result, and if it is found that the current serving cell has a poor signal and other neighboring cells have signals better than the serving cell, the UE3 high layer triggers a measurement report, and the base station switches the UE3 to a neighboring cell having a better signal according to the measurement report.
In the third scenario, the cell 3 of the 5G base station operates in an unlicensed spectrum, and periodically transmits a reference signal SSB with a period of 10ms, both the terminal UE4 and the terminal UE5 are connected to the cell 3, the UE4 is located at the edge of the cell and has poor channel conditions, and the UE5 is located in the middle of the cell and has good channel conditions.
1) At the time of t1, the base station LBT successfully sends the reference signal of the cell 3, the UE4 tries to receive the reference signal and obtains an RSRP/RSRQ value, because the UE4 has a poor channel condition, the value is lower than a preset threshold Th, the UE4 physical layer submits the RSRP/RSRQ measurement value to a higher layer, and starts a monitoring window, the window duration is 100 ms;
2) at time t2(t2 ═ t1+10ms), LBT operation of the base station fails, and thus the reference signal is not successfully sent, at this time, UE5 attempts to receive the reference signal and obtain an RSRP/RSRQ measurement value, and the UE5 physical layer submits the measurement value to a higher layer, and since the RSRP/RSRQ value is lower than a preset threshold Th, UE5 also starts a listening window, the window duration being 100 ms;
3) at time t3(t3 ═ t1+20ms), the base station performs LBT failure, discarding the reference signal of cell 3;
4) at time t4(t4 ═ t1+30ms), the base station performs LBT success, the cell 3 reference signal is successfully transmitted, while the base station transmits the PDCCH scrambled with RM-RNTI, carrying DCI information thereon indicating that 2 reference signals were dropped due to LBT failure before this time;
5) the UE4 receives the PDCCH scrambled by the RM-RNTI, simultaneously receives the reference signal and obtains a new RSRP/RSRQ value, and the UE4 determines that the reference signal at the t1 moment is not discarded based on the received DCI information, namely the former measurement value is low, which is not caused by the non-transmission of the reference signal, but the current channel condition is poor;
the UE5 also receives the RM-RNTI scrambled PDCCH, receives the reference signal and obtains a new RSRP/RSRQ value, the UE5 determines based on the received DCI information that the reference signal at time t2 is discarded, the UE5 physical layer delivers the latest RSRP/RSRQ measurement to the higher layer, and instructs the previous measurement to be replaced with the value (i.e., the measurement at time t 2) for layer three filtering.
