Description

Method and apparatus for measuring sync signal blocks

Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communications and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for measuring synchronization signals.

The Long Term Revolution (LTE) system supports single carrier operation and Carrier Aggregation (CA) operations. For single-carrier operation, there is only one Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) in the frequency domain. For the carrier aggregation operation, the maximum bandwidth of the component carrier of the LTE system is 20 MHz, and there is only one PSS/SSS channel in the frequency domain in each component carrier. In particular, the six physical resource blocks (PRBs) occupied by the PSS/SSS of the LTE system are located at the central location of the system bandwidth.

At present, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has reached a consensus that the network device sends an SS burst set containing a plurality of SS blocks to the terminal, and each SS block includes a PSS. SSS and Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH). And the frequency position of the SS block within the system bandwidth is not limited to the central frequency point position of the system bandwidth. The terminal searches the SS block in the system bandwidth to obtain time-frequency synchronization, acquires PBCH messages, and performs Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement.

For new Radio (NR) systems, broadband component carriers with large bandwidths may be supported, such as broadband component carriers with a bandwidth of 400 MHz or even 1 GHz. In the same broadband member carrier, terminal devices with multiple working bandwidths are distributed. For example, if the system bandwidth is 400 MHz, terminal devices with 400 MHz bandwidth may be distributed, and terminal devices with 100 MHz, 40 MHz, and 10 MHz bandwidth may also be available. If there is only one SS blcok location within the broadband member carrier, the terminal device with a smaller working bandwidth may not have an SS block within its working bandwidth. And for broadband member carriers with very large bandwidth, the propagation characteristics of different frequency positions may be greatly different. This requires the network device in the NR system to send multiple synchronization signal blocks to the terminal device within the broadband component carrier.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a method for measuring a synchronization signal block that satisfies a measurement requirement of a synchronization signal block by a communication system in which a network device transmits a plurality of synchronization signal blocks to a terminal device within a wideband component carrier.

And a portable device, a vehicle, etc., the terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN), for example, the terminal device can be a mobile phone (or Known as "cellular" telephones, computers with wireless communication capabilities, etc., the terminal devices can also be portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-integrated or in-vehicle mobile devices.

Measurement of Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) and measurement of Received Signal Strength Indication.

FIG. 1 illustrates a method of measuring a sync signal block in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the method 100 includes:

S110, the terminal device performs measurement on at least one synchronization signal block of the plurality of synchronization signal blocks transmitted in the first cell, to obtain a first measurement result, where the first cell is a serving cell of the terminal device;

S120. The terminal device performs an operation corresponding to the target trigger condition according to the first measurement result and a target trigger condition, where the target trigger condition is one of multiple trigger conditions, and the operation corresponding to each trigger condition different.

Optionally, in S110, the terminal device performs measurement on the synchronization signal block used for performing time-frequency synchronization to obtain a first measurement result. In this case, the terminal device only needs to measure the current SS block at first, so as to avoid measuring the high implementation complexity brought by multiple SS blocks.

Optionally, in S110, the at least one synchronization signal block that the terminal device performs measurement is a first target synchronization signal block configured by the network device. For example, the terminal device receives a first indication message sent by the network device, where the first indication message is used to indicate the first target synchronization signal block. And it can be understood that the first target synchronization signal block indicated by the first indication message may be a synchronization signal block that the terminal device needs to use when performing time-frequency synchronization.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the bandwidth of the broadband component carrier in the serving cell is 400 MHz, and four SS blocks need to be transmitted in the broadband component carrier, which are respectively the synchronization signal block 1 (SS block 1) and the synchronization signal. Block 2 (SS block 2), sync signal block 3 (SS block 3), and sync signal block 4 (SS block 4), which are evenly distributed at a frequency interval of 100 MHz. If the terminal device detects SS block1, the terminal device performs time-frequency synchronization using SS block1 and measures SS block1. Or the first indication message received by the terminal device indicates SS block2, and the terminal device performs measurement on SS block2.

Optionally, in S120, if the terminal device determines that the first measurement result meets the first trigger condition, the terminal device measures another SS block in the serving cell to obtain the second measurement result or the terminal device reports the other SS block in the serving cell. The second measurement result obtained by the measurement is performed. If the terminal device determines that the second measurement result satisfies the second trigger condition, the terminal device measures the synchronization signal block in the neighboring cell or reports the measurement result obtained by measuring the synchronization signal block in the neighboring cell. Or the terminal device determines the third measurement result according to the first measurement result and the second measurement result, and if the terminal device determines that the third measurement result satisfies the third trigger condition, the terminal device measures or reports the synchronization signal block in the neighboring cell. The measurement result obtained by the measurement of the synchronization signal block in the cell.

Specifically, in some embodiments, if the terminal device does not measure other SS blocks in the serving cell before determining that the first measurement result satisfies the first trigger condition, the terminal device measures other SS blocks in the serving cell. The second measurement result is obtained, and the terminal device further selects to report the second measurement result to the network device after the measurement. If the terminal device has measured the other SS blocks in the serving cell to obtain the second measurement result before determining that the first measurement result meets the first trigger condition, the terminal device determines that the first measurement result satisfies the first trigger condition, and the terminal device The device directly reports the second measurement result to the network device. Further, when the terminal device determines that the second measurement result satisfies the second trigger condition, or the terminal device determines that the third measurement result obtained by the first measurement result and the second measurement result satisfies the third trigger condition, the terminal device is in the neighboring cell. The synchronization signal block performs measurement or reports the measurement result of the synchronization signal block of the neighboring cell.

Therefore, the terminal device comprehensively determines the signal quality of the serving cell according to the measurement result of the multiple SS blocks in the serving cell, and the determination result is more reliable, and avoids starting the neighbor in advance when the signal on the frequency domain of the local cell is good. Cell measurement, neighbor cell measurement result reporting or cell handover, improve the performance of the communication system.

For example, the first trigger condition is event X1 (the first measurement result is worse than the first preset threshold), and when the sum of the first measurement result and the first configuration value is less than the first preset threshold, the terminal device considers The first measurement result satisfies the event X1. When the difference between the first measurement result and the first configuration value is greater than the first preset threshold, the terminal device considers that the first measurement result does not satisfy the event X1. Similarly, the second triggering condition is event X2 (the second measurement result is worse than the second preset threshold), and when the sum of the second measurement result and the second configuration value is less than the second preset threshold, the terminal device considers that The second measurement result satisfies the event X2. When the difference between the second measurement result and the second configuration value is greater than the second preset threshold, the terminal device considers that the second measurement result does not satisfy the event X2. Or the third triggering condition is event X3 (the third measurement result is worse than the third preset threshold), and when the sum of the second measurement result and the second configuration value is less than the third preset threshold, the terminal device considers the third The measurement result satisfies the event X3. When the difference between the third measurement result and the third configuration value is greater than the third preset threshold, the terminal device considers that the third measurement result does not satisfy the event X3. Moreover, the third measurement result may be an average of the first measurement result and the second measurement result, or the third measurement result may be a maximum value, a minimum value, or an intermediate value among the first measurement result and the second measurement result.

Optionally, in S120, if the terminal device determines that the first measurement result satisfies the fourth trigger condition, the terminal device measures the other synchronization signal block in the serving cell and the synchronization signal block in the neighboring cell, or the terminal device sends the network device to the network device. The measurement result obtained by measuring the synchronization signal block in the serving cell and the synchronization signal block in the neighboring cell is reported.

For example, the network device and the terminal device may pre-determine or protocol a parameter, or the network device configures a parameter for the terminal device by using signaling. The fourth trigger condition is that the first measurement result is worse than this parameter. If the first measurement result is better than the parameter, the terminal device considers that the first measurement result does not satisfy the fourth trigger condition. If the first measurement result is worse than the parameter, the terminal device considers that the first measurement result satisfies the fourth trigger condition.

In all the above embodiments, optionally, other synchronization signal blocks in the serving cell may be all synchronization signal blocks except the first target synchronization signal block among the plurality of synchronization signal blocks transmitted in the serving cell. Taking the above four SS blocks as an example, if the first target synchronization signal block is SS block 2, the other synchronization signal blocks in the serving cell are SS block 1, SS block 3 and SS block 4.

Alternatively, the other sync signal blocks in the serving cell may be sync signal blocks in the set of synchronization signals specified by the network. The network device sends a second indication message to the terminal device, where the second indication message indicates other synchronization signal blocks in the serving cell, for example, may specifically indicate the number of the synchronization signal block in the frequency domain, or specifically indicate the frequency domain of the synchronization signal block. Resources.

Alternatively, the other synchronization signal block in the serving cell is a synchronization signal block in which the corresponding frequency domain position in the plurality of synchronization signal blocks transmitted in the serving cell is within the working bandwidth of the terminal device. Taking the above four SS blocks as an example, assuming that the working bandwidth of the terminal device is 250 MHz, the frequency domain locations carrying SS block 1, SSblock 2, and SS block 3 are within the working bandwidth of the terminal device, and the first target synchronization signal block is SS block 1. Then, other synchronization signal blocks in the serving cell are SS block 2 and SS block 3. Optionally, the working bandwidth of the terminal device may be understood as the bandwidth that the network device configures the terminal device to use, or the maximum bandwidth that the terminal device can support.

Optionally, in S120, if the terminal device determines that the first measurement result satisfies the fifth trigger condition, the terminal device measures the synchronization signal block in the neighboring cell or reports the measurement obtained by measuring the synchronization signal block in the neighboring cell. result. In this case, the first measurement result is a measurement result obtained by the terminal device measuring the synchronization signal block used for performing frequency domain synchronization; or the first measurement result is a plurality of synchronization signal blocks transmitted by the terminal device to the serving cell. The measurement result obtained by measuring all the synchronization signal blocks in the middle; or the first measurement result is a measurement result obtained by the terminal device measuring the synchronization signal block specified by the network device, where the network device may send a third indication message to the terminal device, where The three indication message indicates that the terminal device needs to measure the synchronization signal block; or the first measurement result is a measurement result obtained by the terminal device measuring all the synchronization signal blocks in the working bandwidth.

It should be noted that the multiple triggering conditions in the embodiment of the present application may be specified by the protocol, or may be previously agreed by the network device and the terminal device, or may be notified to the terminal device by the network device by using signaling.
