In step S408, the terminal device determines the second information according to the plurality of second report values and at least one first report value.

In some embodiments, the second information may be determined by at least one of:

For example, if at least one of the first reported values includes 5, 6, 7, and 8 and the second reported value includes 1, 2, 9, and 10, it may be determined that the sixth reported value is 5, the fifth reported value includes 1 and 2, and the maximum value in the fifth reported value is 2, that is, the second information is 2.

In another implementation, after determining the minimum value of the third reported values and the maximum value of the fifth reported values, one of the minimum value of the third reported values and the maximum value of the fifth reported values may be selected as the second information. For example, any one of the minimum value of the third report value and the maximum value of the fifth report value may be used as the second information, or one of the minimum value and the maximum value of the fifth report value may be determined as the second information according to a protocol specification, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, it is determined that the plurality of second report values are smaller than the fourth report value, and a maximum value of the fifth report value is used as the second information.

For example, the second information may be determined by the first implementation manner preferentially, if the third report value is not obtained, that is, the second report values are smaller than the fourth report value (there is no second report value greater than the fourth report value), the second information is determined by the second implementation manner, that is, the fifth report value is determined, and the maximum value in the fifth report value is taken as the second information.

In some embodiments, it is determined that the first report values are all greater than the sixth report value, and a minimum value in the third report value is used as the second information.

For example, the second information may be determined by the second implementation manner preferentially, if the fifth report value is not obtained, that is, the second report values are all greater than the sixth report value (there is no second report value less than the sixth report value), the second information is determined by the first implementation manner, that is, the third report value is determined, and the minimum value in the third report value is taken as the second information.
