- Future wireless communication systems are expected to realize various wireless communication services so as to satisfy different requirements (for example, ultra-high speed, large capacity, ultra-low delay, etc.). For example, in a future wireless communication system, as described above, it is considered to perform communication using beam forming (BF).
- BF beam forming
- Digital BF can be classified into digital BF and analog BF.
- Digital BF is a method of performing precoding signal processing (for a digital signal) on baseband.
- parallel processing of inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT: Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) / digital-analog conversion (DAC: Digital to Analog Converter) / RF (Radio Frequency) is required for the number of antenna ports (RF Chain). Become.
- IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transform
- DAC Digital to Analog Converter
- RF Radio Frequency
- Analog BF is a method using a phase shifter on RF. In this case, since only the phase of the RF signal is rotated, the configuration is easy and can be realized at low cost, but a plurality of beams cannot be formed at the same timing. Specifically, in analog BF, only one beam can be formed at a time for each phase shifter.
- a base station for example, called eNB (evolved Node B), BS (Base Station), gNB, etc.
- eNB evolved Node B
- BS Base Station
- gNB gNode B
- one beam can be formed at a certain time. . Therefore, when a plurality of beams are transmitted using only the analog BF, the beams cannot be transmitted at the same time using the same time resource, and thus the beams need to be switched or rotated in time.
- a hybrid BF configuration in which a digital BF and an analog BF are combined can also be used.
- future wireless communication systems for example, 5G
- introduction of large-scale MIMO is being studied.
- the circuit configuration becomes expensive. For this reason, it is assumed that an analog BF configuration or a hybrid BF configuration is used in 5G.
- BF operations include a single BF operation using a single BF (Single BF operation) and a multiple BF operation using a plurality of BFs (Multiple BF operation).
- CSI-RS RSI for CSI measurement
- MRS Mobility Reference Signal
- the MRS only needs to be a signal that can be used as an RS for RRM measurement, and an existing synchronization signal (for example, PSS / SSS), an existing reference signal (for example, CRS, CSI-RS), or an extension thereof. / It may be a changed signal.
- the MRS may be a PSS for NR (NR-PSS) and / or SSS (NR-SSS), or may be a new reference signal designed for RRM measurement.
- the MRS may be transmitted in one or more beams using one or more antenna ports.
- MRS may also be called a measurement signal, a beam-specific RS, an RS transmitted for each beam, or the like.
- the UE may report information on received power (for example, RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power)).
- RSRP Reference Signal Received Power
- the UE uses a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a precoding type indicator (PTI), a rank indicator (RI: Rank Indicator). ) Etc. may be reported.
- CQI channel quality indicator
- PMI precoding matrix indicator
- PTI precoding type indicator
- RI rank indicator
- Etc. may be reported.
- Mem report may be used interchangeably with “measurement and / or report”.
- the UE uses the reference signal (for example, CRS) to measure and report the cell quality. To do. Since this measurement is performed in cell units, it is also referred to as cell level measurement.
- CRS reference signal
- Fig. 1 shows a measurement model in conventional cell level measurement.
- the user terminal receives a measurement signal (not beamformed) transmitted in the cell at the physical layer.
- Layer 1 filtering is applied to the measurement values measured at the physical layer indicated by point A.
- the layer 1 filtering method is a design matter, for example, it may be filtered by measuring a plurality of samples. As long as the terminal can satisfy the quality requirement defined in the specification without applying the layer 1 filtering, the layer 1 filtering may not be used.
- Measured results are reported from layer 1 to layer 3 after layer 1 filtering.
- Layer 3 filtering is applied to the measurement result provided at point B.
- Layer 3 filtering may be determined by the standard, and the necessary parameters are set by RRC signaling. Specifically, in the layer 3 filtering, the latest measurement result and the past measurement result are smoothed.
- the evaluation criteria may be determined by a standard, and necessary parameters may be set by RRC signaling. A measurement result that satisfies the evaluation criteria is supplied to point D and transmitted to the wireless interface.
- NR for mobility requiring RRC signaling (L3 mobility), it is possible to measure and report at least one of cell quality and beam quality using MRS, an NR synchronization signal or another reference signal. It has been agreed. Since the measurement of the beam is a measurement in units of beams, it is also called a beam level measurement.
- the user terminal reports the cell level measurement result in the idle mode, and reports at least one of the cell level measurement result and the beam level measurement result in the connected mode. Therefore, L3 mobility is performed based on the cell level measurement result in the user terminal in the idle mode, and L3 mobility is performed based on at least one of the cell level measurement result and the beam level measurement result in the connected mode user terminal.
- a user terminal in idle mode may use a cell-specific MRS scrambled with a cell identifier (which may be referred to as a physical cell ID (PCI: Physical Cell Identity), cell ID, etc.) for RRM measurement. May not be able to recognize the beams individually (Case 1).
- PCI Physical Cell Identity
- a beam can be identified even in a mode user terminal (Case 2).
- the user terminal in the connection mode can perform RRM measurement using cell-specific MRS or beam-specific MRS. Since the user terminal can acquire beam information from the base station in the connection mode, it is considered that each user beam can be specified (case 3).

- the user terminal can obtain the beam level measurement result ResB 1,1 from the DL beam specific MRS transmitted by the beam of the beam index 1 in the sweeping period 1 of the measurement instance 1, and each of the beam index X from the beam index 2 Beam level measurement results ResB 1, 2, ... ResB 1, X can be obtained from the DL beam specific MRS transmitted by the beam.
- the above RRM measurement is repeated X times in each measurement instance.
- each beam level measurement result ResB i, j corresponding to (number of measurement instances) ⁇ (maximum value of the beam index) are obtained from one cell operated in multiple beams.
- each beam level measurement result ResB i, j only indicates the quality of one beam transmitted locally in the cell, and is insufficient as an index indicating the quality of the entire cell. If the cell level measurement result is not specified in the case of the multi-beam scenario, an appropriate cell selection cannot be performed, and there is a possibility that throughput is deteriorated.
- the present inventors have focused on the fact that the beam level measurement result alone in a multi-beam operation cell is not sufficient as an index indicating the quality of the entire cell, and the cell level measurement is performed based on the measurement result on one or more beams. Inspired to derive the results.
