Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell is: configured by at least one target high-level parameter; wherein, the target high-level parameters are: newly added high-level parameters or existing high-level parameters.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the indication information of the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell may specifically be: PCI, or information indicating by bit mapping according to a certain predetermined rule.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the indication information of the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell may be mapped in units of RS resources, or RS resource subsets, or RS resource sets, or RS resource settings, or reported reports (e.g., beam reports).

Specifically, when one CSI-Report is associated with only one CSI-SSB-resource set, and all RSs in the CSI-SSB-resource set are from one cell, that is, a target neighbor cell only includes one neighbor cell (that is, the UE only reports the RS of one cell), the RS is taken as an SSB for explanation, and the signaling of the high-level parameters of the CSI-SSB-resource set is shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

X in table 1 is the maximum number of neighbor cells allowed for UE measurement or reporting configured by RRC, and when a higher-layer parameter non-serving celllnfo is not configured in a higher-layer parameter CSI-SSB-ResourceSet, the UE considers that SSBs associated with the CSI report are all SSBs of the current serving cell.

When the target neighbor cell includes multiple neighbor cells (i.e., the UE reports RSs of multiple cells), the RS is taken as an SSB for example, and the CSI-SSB-resource set higher layer parameter signaling is as follows:

in one example, one CSI-Report associates multiple CSI-SSB-resources sets, one CSI-SSB-resources set includes RSs of one neighbor cell, and the high-layer parameter signaling of the CSI-SSB-resources set is also shown in table 1. And when the high-layer parameter non-serving CellInfo is not configured in all the high-layer parameters CSI-SSB-resource set or the high-layer parameters are configured to be the same value, the UE considers that the SSBs associated with the CSI report are the SSBs of the current serving cell or a certain neighbor cell.

In an example, if the network side device does not configure the first indication list, or the RS indicated by the RS identifier included in the first RS identifier list is from the current serving cell, the UE may not report the PCI. It is understood that the reported content does not include PCI.

In another example, if the first indication list only includes the indication information of the relevant configuration information of one neighboring cell, or the RS indicated by the RS identifier included in the first RS identifier list is associated with the relevant configuration information of the one neighboring cell, the UE may not report the PCI. It is understood that the reported content does not include the PCI.

In another example, if the first indication list configured by the network side device includes indication information of related configuration information of different neighboring cells, and an RS indicated by an RS identifier included in the first RS identifier list belongs to different serving cells, the UE may report a PCI corresponding to the RS indicated by the RS identifier.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the UE may send a target report to the current serving cell, where the target report includes a measurement result of the layer 1 measurement, so as to report the measurement result of the layer 1 measurement. Wherein the target report is any one of: beam reporting, CSI reporting.

In the related art, the RS measurement of the UE on the neighboring cell of the current serving cell can only be reported on layer 3. Since layer 3 reporting requires layer 3 filtering of the layer 1 measurement result, there is a large time delay, and since layer 3 reporting belongs to a high-level behavior, the time delay itself is very long, thereby causing a large time delay for UE reporting the measurement result.

However, in the embodiment of the present application, the UE may report the RS measurement of the neighboring cell of the current serving cell on layer 1, that is, the UE does not need to perform layer 3 filtering on the measurement result of layer 1, so as to reduce the delay, and the layer 1 reporting does not belong to a high-level behavior, so the delay for reporting the measurement result by the UE may be further reduced.

According to the measurement method provided by the embodiment of the application, the UE can acquire the measurement configuration information, perform layer 1 measurement on the RS of the target neighbor cell according to the measurement configuration information, and report the measurement result of the layer 1 measurement. When the UE acquires the measurement configuration information, the UE can directly carry out layer 1 measurement on the RS of the target neighbor cell according to the measurement configuration information, so that the UE can directly report the measurement result of the layer 1 measurement, namely, the measurement result of the layer 1 is directly reported to the network side equipment, the filtering of the measurement result of the layer 1 at the layer 3 is not needed, and the reporting is carried out at the layer 3, therefore, the time delay of the UE for reporting the measurement result can be reduced, and the time delay of the UE for carrying out cell switching can be reduced.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the measurement configuration information satisfies any one of the following:

RS of the target adjacent cell are all configured in the SMTC window;

the first information in the configuration information of the RS of the target adjacent cell is the same as the first information in the configuration information of the SMTC window by default;

first information in the configuration information of the RS of the target neighbor cell is matched with first information in the configuration information of the SMTC window;

the transmission power of the RS of the target neighbor cell is different or the same by default.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first information includes at least one of: frequency domain position, time domain position, period.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, the network side device may configure the RSs of the target neighbor cell in the SMTC window.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, the first information in the configuration information of the RS of the default target neighboring cell is the same as the first information in the configuration information of the SMTC window by the UE.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, the UE defaults that the first information in the configuration information of the RS of the target neighboring cell matches with the first information in the configuration information of the SMTC window.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, the UE may default to the same transmission power of the RS of the target neighbor cell.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the measurement configuration information includes configuration information of the SMTC window but does not include relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell, the UE determines the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell according to a preset default value, and searches for and measures a default value of the RS in the STMC window. The period of the RS of the target neighboring cell is the period of the SMTC window, and the UE defaults that the transmission power of the RS of each neighboring cell in the target neighboring cell is the same.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, under the condition that the measurement configuration information includes the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell and the configuration information of the SMTC window, if the RSs of the target neighboring cell are both configured in the SMTC window, the UE may perform receiving and measuring on the corresponding time-frequency resource according to the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell. Wherein, the RS of the target neighbor cell being configured in the SMTC window means: the period of the RS of the target adjacent cell is integral multiple of the period of the SMTC window, the first symbol of each RS is later than that of the SMTC window, and the last symbol of each RS is earlier than that of the SMTC window.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, under the condition that the measurement configuration information includes the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell and the configuration information of the SMTC window, if the RS of a part of neighboring cells of the target neighboring cell is outside the SMTC window, the UE may receive and measure only the RS included in the SMTC on the corresponding time-frequency resource according to the relevant configuration information of the target neighboring cell.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, when the first condition is satisfied, the layer 1 measurement value of the RS is: the layer 1 measurements after processing according to a first predetermined rule.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first condition is: the target neighbor cell includes a plurality of neighbor cells, and the transmission power of the RS of different neighbor cells in the plurality of neighbor cells is different.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first preset rule may specifically be: according to the rule of aligning target specific values.

It is to be appreciated that the UE can scale up or down the layer 1 measurements of the RSs of multiple neighbor cells according to a rule aligning to a target specific value.

Specifically, the target specific value may be: a preset specific value, or a specific value determined according to layer 1 measurement values of RSs of a plurality of neighbor cells.

Exemplarily, assuming that the plurality of neighboring cells include cells Cell #1, cell #2, and Cell #3, the layer 1 measurement value of Cell #1 is 2, the layer 1 measurement value of Cell #2 is 3, the layer 1 measurement value of Cell #3 is 1, the median 2 of the layer 1 measurement values of all cells is taken as a target specific value, the processed layer 1 measurement value of Cell #1 is 2, the processed layer 1 measurement value of Cell #2 is 2/3, and the processed layer 1 measurement value of Cell #3 is 2.

As described above, since the UE can process the layer 1 measurement value of the RS of the target neighbor cell when the first condition is satisfied, it is possible to avoid the case where the layer 1 measurement value is inaccurate due to the difference in the transmission power of the RS.

Optionally, in this embodiment, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 3, before the "performing layer 1 measurement on RS of the target neighbor cell" in step 102, the measurement method provided in this embodiment may further include

steps

201 and 202 described below.

Step 201, the UE determines at least one first RS according to a second preset rule.

It can be understood that the execution sequence of step 201 is after "performing layer 1 measurement on RS of the target neighboring cell" in step 102 and before "reporting measurement result of layer 1 measurement" in step 102.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the reported content includes at least one of the following: the index of the first RS, the layer 1 measurement value of the first RS, and the PCI of the adjacent cell to which the first RS belongs.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the at least one first RS may specifically be: RS in RS of the target neighbor cell.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second preset rule may specifically be: and selecting the RS corresponding to the first a measured values of which the measured values are sorted from large to small, wherein a is a positive integer.

Exemplarily, assuming that the plurality of neighboring cells includes cells Cell #1, cell #2, cell #3, cell #4, and Cell #5, a layer 1 measurement value of Cell #1 is 2, a layer 1 measurement value of Cell #2 is 3, a layer 1 measurement value of Cell #3 is 4, a layer 1 measurement value of Cell #4 is 5, and a layer 1 measurement value of Cell #5 is 1, the UE may determine at least one first RS, that is, 3 first RSs, according to RSs corresponding to first a (for example, first 3) measurement values whose selection measurement values are sorted from large to small: RS of Cell #4, and RS of Cell # 2.

Step 202, the UE reports the measurement result of the layer 1 measurement.

In the embodiment of the present application, the measurement result of the layer 1 measurement includes: information related to the at least one first RS.

It can be understood that the measurement result of the layer 1 measurement includes at least one of an index of the first RS, a layer 1 measurement value of the first RS, and a PCI of a neighbor cell to which the first RS belongs.

Therefore, the UE may determine at least one first RS from the RSs of the target neighboring cell according to the second preset rule, and report the index of each first RS in the at least one first RS, the layer 1 measurement value of each first RS in the at least one first RS, and the PCI of the neighboring cell to which each first RS in the at least one first RS belongs, instead of reporting the RS of the target neighboring cell, so that the amount of reported data may be reduced.

It should be noted that, in the measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the execution subject may be a UE, or a control module in the UE for executing the measurement method. In the embodiment of the present application, a method for performing measurement by using a UE is taken as an example to describe the UE provided in the embodiment of the present application.
