Description

Determination method, configuration method, terminal and network side equipment of measurement configuration information

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for determining measurement configuration information, a configuration method, a terminal, and a network device.

Background

In the prior art, when a target cell SSB (Synchronization Signal/PBCH Block) is the same as a center frequency point of a serving cell SSB and a subcarrier interval of two SSBs, it is necessary to perform common-frequency measurement. When the center frequency point of the target cell SSB is different from that of the serving cell SSB or the subcarrier spacing of the two SSBs is different, the inter-frequency measurement or the measurement interruption needs to be performed.

The SMTC (SS/PBCH block measurement timing configuration) is used to indicate the SSB measurement configuration of the terminal, including period, duration, and offset, and is mainly used for intra-frequency measurement. The length of the Measurement gap is SSB transmission time + RF (Radio Frequency) modulation time, and the NR Measurement gap is divided into per UE (terminal-based) and per FR (FR-based). Per UE configuration means that measurement of all frequency points to be measured is executed based on a set of measurement interval configuration. Per FR configuration means that a terminal can be configured with two measurement intervals simultaneously, which are used for FR1 and FR2, respectively, and whether Per FR interval is supported or not is reported in the terminal capability.

In NR (New Radio, New air interface), for the case of common-frequency measurement, if there is a scheduling restriction (SSB is different from the subcarrier spacing SCS of data, FR2 frequency point measurement, and there is no SSB in the active bandwidth), a measurement interval is also needed. For the case of inter-frequency measurement, a measurement interval may not be needed if the measurement MO is within the active bandwidth of the terminal.

In the traditional common-frequency measurement and different-frequency measurement, because the base stations are all on the ground, and the transmission delay difference from different ground base stations to the terminal is smaller, the length of a measurement window is smaller. For a non-terrestrial network, the transmission delay difference between a satellite and a terminal is large, especially, the transmission delay difference between an LEO (Low Earth orbit) and a GEO Earth orbit (Geostationary orbit) to the terminal is even in the order of hundred milliseconds, and if the existing measurement configuration is used, the terminal may not detect the SSB of the target cell.

As an alternative embodiment, in the non-terrestrial network, some measurement configurations need to be added to adapt to the larger delay difference from the terminal to the target cell and the serving cell, and specific measurement configuration information is not limited herein.

Optionally, the measurement configuration information includes: the configuration parameters are measured as time varying parameters. For example, the measurement configuration information may be a function that varies with time, and different measurement configuration information may be applied with different time shifts (e.g., Δ t shift rates). Such as measuring the time-varying parameter of the configuration parameter as the drift rate.

As another alternative embodiment, step 101 includes at least one of:

In a second mode, the network side device periodically configures different measurement configuration information to the terminal, and in this mode, step 301 includes:

the method comprises the following steps that a network side device periodically sends first information to a terminal, wherein a plurality of pieces of first information which are periodically sent meet one condition of indication:

In a third mode, the serving cell sends corresponding measurement configuration information based on the terminal request, that is, before step 301, the method further includes:

accordingly, step 301 comprises:

Or, if the second information includes: at least one time delay difference information and frequency band identification information of a corresponding cell; the network side equipment provides different measurement configuration information (taking the maximum value of the time delay difference on the frequency band) for each frequency band of the terminal according to the different time delay differences of each cell reported by the terminal;

in the first scheme, a new timer (target timer) is introduced to monitor the executable duration of the current measurement configuration information, and the value range of the timer is set according to the distance between the satellite and the terminal and the relative movement speed. The setting method of the timer can be as follows: assuming that the service quality of the satellite deteriorates if the distance between the satellite and the terminal exceeds a certain threshold condition, the maximum value of the timer may be calculated from the distance threshold and the relative movement speed between the satellite and the terminal. Once the target timer is about to time out or is overtime, the measurement configuration information of the terminal needs to be pre-updated in advance.

And a second scheme is that the terminal adaptively adjusts the measurement configuration information, and the terminal adjusts the measurement configuration information (such as the offset, duration, period and the like of the SMTC and/or the measurement interval) according to the acquired delay difference information of different cells or different frequency points reaching the terminal. And the terminal reports the adjusted SMTC and/or the adjusted measurement interval to the network. Further, the terminal may report the adjusted SMTC and/or the measurement interval corresponding to different measurement targets (measurement frequency points).

For scheme one and scheme two, the method further comprises:

Scheme three, the method still includes:

Example 1

Taking the delay difference Δ t from the terminal to the target cell and the serving cell of 10ms as an example, a delay difference step table may be designed, as shown in table 1, according to which the serving cell or the terminal may configure or select a corresponding measurement configuration mode (pattern).

TABLE 1

In example two, the terminal carries the second information through the MAC CE reported to the serving cell, and as shown in fig. 4, a structure example of the MAC CE is shown

The Cell ID field carries identification information of a target Cell, the LCID field carries a logical channel identification, and the delta t field carries time delay difference between the target Cell and a service Cell.

Considering that the round-trip delay difference from the terminal to the base station exceeds 500ms (in a scenario of an LEO satellite and a GEO satellite in a transparent transmission architecture) at most, and the indicated delay difference may be positive or negative, at least 10 bits should be reserved in the MAC CE to ensure that the indicated time slot range is sufficient. Or the system frame can be used as the granularity indication, about 3 bits of overhead can be saved. Or the symbol can be used as granularity indication, and the granularity needs to be increased by about 4 bits compared with the slot indication granularity, but the indication precision can be improved.
