Detailed Description

In the mobility operation, firstly, switching of a target cell is performed based on a Layer three (L3, layer 3) measurement result reported by a terminal, and then, in the target cell, configuration of a transmission configuration indication (TCI, transmission Configuration Indicator) state (state) is performed through a radio resource control (RRC, radio Resource Control) reconfiguration message based on a reporting result of beam management, so that the terminal can select a proper downlink beam for data reception. The beam management is only carried out in the service cell, and the terminal does not need to carry out the related measurement of the beam management on the adjacent cell. In order to reduce the delay and signaling overhead caused by handover, a mechanism based on layer-one inter-cell mobility operation is proposed. This mechanism requires the terminal to make layer one measurements of the neighbor cells, i.e. non-serving cells. In this mechanism, the higher layer does not perceive the underlying cell handover, nor the neighbor-oriented beam handover. Different from the layer-one measurement of the serving cell, the layer-one measurement of the different frequencies requires the terminal to tune to the target frequency point to perform the measurement in the measurement interval, that is, the data transmission and reception of the serving cell cannot be performed in the measurement interval.

In the related art, the configured measurement interval is periodic, and the layer one measurement is non-periodic, so that if the non-periodic layer one measurement is performed with the periodic measurement interval, unnecessary throughput loss is caused, and if the measurement interval is reconfigured by frequent RRC configuration, additional delay and signaling overhead are also caused.

Based on this, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal performs layer one measurement, or the terminal receives the first information sent by the network side, where the first information includes at least one of information related to layer one measurement, related information of CSI-RS, related information of measurement interval associated with CSI-RS, related information of SSB, and related information of measurement interval associated with SSB, and based on this, the terminal may configure the measurement interval of layer one. Based on the scheme, aperiodic layer one measurement can be realized at the terminal, unnecessary throughput loss is avoided, and additional time delay and signaling overhead are avoided.

The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

The embodiment of the application provides a measuring method which is applied to a terminal. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

Step 101: layer one measurement is performed or first information sent by the network is received.

Wherein the first information includes at least one of:

Information related to layer one measurements;

relevant information of the CSI-RS;

Information about measurement intervals associated with CSI-RS;

information about SSB;

Information about measurement intervals associated with SSBs.

The terminal receives the first information sent by the network to configure a layer one measurement interval based on the received first information, and the terminal can perform layer one measurement on the basis; or the terminal may directly perform the layer one measurement without receiving the first information.

In practice, layer one (L1, layer 1) measurements may also be described as inter-cell Layer one measurements, or as Layer one based mobility, or as Layer one or Layer two (L2, layer 2) based mobility, or as Layer one or Layer two based inter-cell mobility, or as beam management, or further as inter-cell beam management (inter-cell beam management). Correspondingly, the information related to the layer one measurement may be described as information related to the mobility based on the layer one, or may be described as information related to the mobility based on the layer one or the layer two, or may be described as information related to the inter-cell mobility based on the layer one or the layer two.

In an embodiment of the application, the layer one measurements comprise SSB-based measurements and/or CSI-RS-based measurements. For example, the terminal performs SSB-based layer one measurement based on the received SSB-related information or SSB-associated measurement interval-related information; for another example, the terminal performs measurement layer one measurement based on the CSI-RS based on the received relevant information of the CSI-RS or the relevant information of the measurement interval associated with the CSI-RS. The layer one measurements may be periodic measurements, and/or aperiodic measurements, and/or event-triggered measurements. Specifically, layer one measurements include making a measurement (L1-RSRP) of reference signal received Power (RSRP, reference Signal Receiving Power), and/or a measurement (L1-RSRQ) of reference signal received Quality (RSRQ, reference Signal Receiving Quality), and/or a measurement (L1-SINR) of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR, signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) at layer one. The scenario or measurement target (measurement object) of the layer one measurement may be a neighbor or target cell, or may be described as a co-frequency cell and/or an inter-frequency cell. In practical application, frequency point information (frequency) of the same frequency and/or different frequencies can be given through a measurement target (measurement object), and specifically includes frequency points of SSB and/or frequency points of CSI-RS. Layer one measurements may be applied to the scene of Frequency Range 1 (FR 1, frequency Range 1) and/or Frequency Range 2 (FR 2, frequency Range 2).

In the above description, CSI-RS refers to CSI-RS for a terminal to perform layer one measurement, CSI-RS-associated measurement interval refers to measurement interval for a terminal to perform layer one measurement, SSB refers to SSB for a terminal to perform layer one measurement, and SSB-associated measurement interval refers to measurement interval for a terminal to perform layer one measurement.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can also perform layer one measurement under the condition that the network side does not perform relevant configuration on the terminal. When the terminal performs cell switching, the cell switching time takes a cell switching command received by the terminal as a starting point; and/or the number of the groups of groups,

The cell transition time is terminated by one of the following:

The terminal performs uplink transmission;

the terminal performs uplink transmission on the indicated wave beam;

the terminal transmits uplink wave beams indicated by the target cell;

The terminal receives downlink;

The terminal receives downlink from the indicated wave beam;

and the terminal receives the downlink wave beam indicated by the target cell.

Here, the cell transition time may also be described as a cell transition delay, or may also be described as a cell handover delay (CELL SWITCH DELAY), or may also be described as an interruption or interruption time (interruption), or may also be described as a mobility delay (mobility delay). Specifically, in an embodiment, the cell transition time includes at least one of:

Processing time;

cell search time;

available PRACH occasions;

timing information.

The processing time comprises processing time of network instructions and/or network signaling and/or reconfiguration time and/or radio frequency modulation time and the like; the timing information includes synchronization information of the cell performing the handover.

In the above, uplink transmission includes transmitting uplink data and/or transmitting a random access Preamble (Preamble); the terminal performs uplink transmission as an end point, and may be described as the terminal performs first uplink transmission as an end point. Downlink reception, including receiving downlink data and/or receiving MSG2 and/or receiving MSG4; the terminal performs downlink reception as an end point, and may be described as the terminal performs first downlink reception as an end point.

In practical application, the cell switching time may refer to the cell switching time of the terminal for performing layer one measurement.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal receives the first information sent by the network, which can be understood as the first information sent by the base station and can also be described as the first information sent by the network device or the network node.

In the embodiment of the present application, the measurement interval associated with CSI-RS and/or SSB may be understood as a measurement interval for layer one measurement. Based on the CSI-RS and/or the association relationship with the measurement interval, the terminal may determine information about the measurement interval used for layer one measurement, e.g., whether a measurement interval configured on the network side needs to be used, or a specific configuration of measurement.

The association relationship between the CSI-RS and/or SSB and the measurement interval may also be described as a corresponding relationship between the CSI-RS and/or SSB and the measurement interval, or as a mapping relationship between the CSI-RS and/or SSB and the measurement interval.

Wherein, the relevant information of the CSI-RS comprises at least one of the following:

Resource set identification (CSI-RS resource set ID) of CSI-RS;

A resource identification (CSI-RS resource ID) of the CSI-RS.

Based on the related information of the CSI-RS included in the first information, the terminal may determine the related information of the associated measurement interval.

The related information of the measurement interval associated with the CSI-RS includes at least one of:

In an embodiment, the first information includes at least one of:

In particular, the fourth identifier is used for indicating a measurement interval of an activation or use period, or for indicating a measurement interval of an activation or use non-period; the fifth identification is used to indicate a measurement interval of a deactivation or shutdown cycle or to indicate a measurement interval of a deactivation or shutdown non-cycle.

In an embodiment, the first information comprises a first measurement interval and/or a second measurement interval.

Wherein the configuration of the first measurement interval comprises at least one of: MGL, MGRP, offset and PATTERN ID; the configuration of the second measurement interval includes at least one of: MGL, offset and PATTERN ID.

Here, the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval differ in that: the second measurement interval is configured without MGRP or the second measurement interval is configured with MGRP value to infinity, so the first measurement interval may be understood as a periodic measurement interval, e.g. layer three measurement, and the second measurement interval may be understood as an aperiodic measurement interval.

In practical application, the first information is issued by a media access Control layer Control Element (MAC-CE, media Access Control-Control Element) or downlink Control information (DCI, downlink Control Information), and may be implicitly transmitted or explicitly transmitted.

Specifically, for the implicit transmission mode, it may be specified in advance through a protocol, when the terminal receives the non-periodic channel state Information (CSI, channel State Information) indicated by the DCI and reports the Information, if the measurement is performed at the layer one of the different frequencies, the received DCI indication is also used to instruct the terminal to perform measurement based on the second measurement interval; for the explicit transmission mode, the network side indicates whether the corresponding GAP PATTER ID is activated or deactivated through DCI or MAC CE. If the corresponding GAP PATTER ID is indicated to be activated, the terminal needs to use the measurement interval activated by the first information when making the inter-frequency layer one measurement.

The above implicit transmission or explicit transmission is different from the above described method in that: the implicit indication is the use of an implicit notification measurement interval, and may be used by a CSI-RS resource set or a granularity indication of CSI-RS resource for different measurement intervals. Explicit indication is to show the use of the notification measurement interval and is not to distinguish between reference symbols, in particular if the indication is to use the second measurement interval, then all neighbor layer one measurements are to use the second measurement interval.

In practical application, there are several cases:

Case one: the network side is configured with a first measurement interval, and when the terminal needs to perform neighbor cell-based layer one measurement, the network side can indicate whether the measurement of the corresponding reference symbol is performed within the first measurement interval through the first information. For example, whether the measurement of the aperiodic CSI-RS is performed within the first measurement interval is indicated by an activation indication of the measurement interval or a deactivation indication of the measurement interval, which does not cause additional throughput loss.

And a second case: the network side is not configured with a first measurement interval, when the terminal needs to perform neighbor cell-based layer one measurement, if the target reference symbol is an aperiodic CSI-RS, the terminal can be instructed to perform measurement on the aperiodic CSI-RS based on a second measurement interval through first information, so that unnecessary throughput loss caused by the adoption of the first measurement interval is avoided.

And a third case: the network side is configured with a first measurement interval, and when the terminal needs to perform neighbor cell-based layer one measurement, the terminal can be instructed to perform measurement on the corresponding aperiodic reference symbols based on the second measurement interval through first information. The method can avoid competition resources between the layer one measurement of the adjacent cell and other measurement targets, and can rapidly carry out layer one measurement of the adjacent cell and report measurement results.

It should be noted that, the "aperiodic reference symbol" in the above text includes an aperiodic transmitted reference symbol and/or an aperiodic reported reference symbol, where the aperiodic reported reference symbol may be a periodic reference symbol or may be described as a periodic transmitted reference symbol, that is, the reference symbol is configured periodically; or may be non-periodic reference symbols, or may be described as non-periodically transmitted reference symbols, that is, reference symbols that are not periodically configured.

Here, the measurement interval associated with the CSI-RS may also be described as a measurement interval corresponding to the CSI-RS. When configured, a measurement interval corresponding to the CSI-RS may be configured, or a corresponding measurement interval may be included in the configuration of the CSI-RS, and/or a CSI-RS corresponding to the measurement interval may be configured, or related information of the corresponding CSI-RS may be included in the configuration of the measurement interval. The association of the CSI-RS with the measurement gap may be used to implicitly indicate the use or non-use or the activation or deactivation of the measurement gap, or the terminal may determine whether to use or non-use the corresponding measurement gap according to the association.

Specifically, if a measurement interval is configured in the configuration of CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS corresponding to CSI-RS resource IDs of a certain or some CSI-RS, the terminal may use the measurement interval when performing measurement of the CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource IDs. That is, in the case that some CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource IDs configure measurement intervals, some CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource IDs do not configure measurement intervals, it is not necessary to additionally indicate whether to open the corresponding measurement intervals. If the corresponding measurement interval is configured, the terminal may use the corresponding measurement interval when performing measurement of the CSI-RS corresponding to the CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource ID. If some or some of the CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource IDs configure a measurement interval, the network side may also send activation or deactivation indication information, and if the network side activates the measurement interval, the terminal may use the corresponding measurement interval when performing measurement of the CSI-RS corresponding to the CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource IDs.

The above scheme is explained in one step by two application examples:

application example one:

The first information includes N first information units, N being an integer greater than or equal to 1. Each first information unit includes: CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource ID, an activation indication of a second type of measurement interval, and/or a deactivation indication of a second type of measurement interval. Here, it is assumed that the network has completed specific configuration of the measurement interval, such as MGL, MGRP, offset and PATTERN ID, which have been configured through RRC messages. In this application embodiment, the purpose of the network side to issue the first information to the terminal is that the terminal can determine, according to different CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource IDs, whether to use or activate the corresponding configured measurement interval when measuring the corresponding reference symbol.

For example, in the first information, it indicates that the CSI-RS resource set ID _p needs to start the second type of measurement interval, the CSI-RS resource set ID _q needs to start the first type of measurement interval, and the CSI-RS resource set ID _k needs to close the second type of measurement interval, so when the terminal performs layer one measurement of the neighboring cell or the different frequency, if the measurement reference symbol is CSI-RS resource set ID _p, according to the first information, the terminal performs measurement based on the second type of measurement interval; if the measurement reference symbol is CSI-RS resource set ID _Q, according to the first information, the terminal performs measurement based on a first type measurement interval; if the measurement reference symbol is CSI-RS resource set ID _k, according to the first information, the terminal does not perform measurement based on the second type measurement interval, and at this time, the terminal may perform measurement using the first type measurement interval or perform layer-one measurement not based on the measurement interval.

Application example two:

The first information includes M second information units, M being an integer greater than or equal to 1. Each second information unit includes: the CSI-RS resource set ID and/or CSI-RS resource ID, measurement gap PATTERNID, activation or deactivation indication information of the measurement gap, where the measurement gap includes a first type of measurement gap and a second type of measurement gap. In this application embodiment, activation or deactivation of the measurement interval corresponding to PATTERN ID in the first information is explicitly indicated by the second information element in the information element. There may be a different GAP PATTERN ID in the second, different information unit.

It should be noted that, in practical application, the above embodiments may be combined, for example, the terminal obtains the association relationship between the CSI-RS and the measurement interval, and the terminal may use or activate the associated measurement interval when performing measurement of a certain or some CSI-RS resource set or CSI-RS corresponding to the CSI-RS resource. For another example, the terminal obtains relevant information of the CSI-RS, and when measuring a certain CSI-RS or some CSI-RS, it is decided whether to use a measurement interval and/or which measurement interval to use in combination with the first information. For another example, the network side gives a configuration of the measurement interval, and determines, in combination with the first information, whether the measurement interval can be used for layer one measurement and/or whether to activate or deactivate the measurement interval.

The configuration of the second measurement interval includes at least one of: MGL, offset and PATTERN ID. Aiming at the problem that the adjacent cell or the inter-frequency layer one measurement and the periodic measurement interval are not applicable, the embodiment of the application introduces an aperiodic measurement interval aiming at the aperiodic reported layer one measurement. And different measurement intervals can be indicated for use based on the granularity of the CSI-RS resource set or the CSI-RS resource by indicating the association relation between the reference symbols for neighbor cell or inter-frequency layer one measurement and the measurement intervals. The terminal may determine whether to use an aperiodic measurement interval according to a reference symbol index or a set ID to be measured based on the association relationship. And the throughput rate and the measurement performance of the system are considered, and the overall performance of the system is improved.
