Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and device for reporting and receiving reference signals.

Background technique

The fifth-generation mobile communication technology has gradually matured, but spectrum resources have become increasingly scarce in related technologies. In order to meet the requirements of the fifth-generation mobile communication system, high-frequency spectrum resources will be used more. At the same time, in order to ensure coverage, an analog beamforming technique is used to enable the terminal device and the network-side device to select the optimal beam for communication. The high-frequency band is rich in spectrum resources, but its radio propagation resistance is weak, and there is a serious blocking phenomenon. Walls, trees, and people moving around can cause signal interruptions, making it difficult to achieve continuous coverage. Therefore, when the terminal device judges that the beam currently communicating with the network-side device has poor communication link quality, it sends a beam recovery request to the network-side device, and at the same time, the terminal device reports other high-quality alternative beams to the network-side device. Avoid communication interruptions.

In the related art, a terminal device sends a beam recovery request to a network-side device through a dedicated physical random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH)) resource. Because PRACH resources are divided into multiple groups, and different resource groups, used preambles, and preambles correspond to reference signals in the network-side device, when a terminal device sends a beam recovery request to the network-side device through the PRACH resource, The network-side device may determine the corresponding beam information according to the PRACH resource and the preamble. However, a terminal device can only send a beam recovery request on one PRACH resource group at a time, and only one reference signal can be reported each time. Therefore, when performing beam recovery on the network side device, it can only correspond to the reference signal reported by the terminal device. If the beam is restored, the success rate of restoration is relatively low; if it fails, the terminal equipment needs to report again, repeat the operation, waste time and reduce work efficiency.

In summary, when communication is interrupted in the related art, the terminal device can only report one reference signal to the network-side device through PRACH, so that the success rate of beam recovery is low and the delay is large.

Summary of the invention

The present disclosure provides a method and a device for reporting and receiving a reference signal, which are used to solve the problems of low success rate and large delay of beam recovery using PRACH by a terminal device when communication is interrupted in the related art.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for reporting a reference signal. The method includes:

The number of reporting reference signals received by the terminal device configured by the network-side device;

The terminal device reports the reference signal in the at least one candidate beam reference signal set to the network-side device through a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

In the above method, the terminal device receives the number of reported reference signals configured by the network-side device, and reports at least one candidate beam reference signal set to the network-side device through the PUCCH or PUSCH after determining the number of reference signals to be reported. Because the terminal device of the present disclosure can report the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set corresponding to the number of configured reference signals to the network-side device through PUCCH or PUSCH at one time, because the terminal reports multiple reference signals, the terminal The device and the network-side device perform beam recovery on the beams corresponding to multiple reference signals, which improves the success rate of beam recovery for normal communication and reduces delay.

In a possible implementation manner, the format of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set reported by the terminal device includes a reference signal index value and a reference signal received power.

In a possible implementation manner, if the number of reported reference signals received by the terminal device configured by the network-side device is equal to 1, the received power value of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set is represented by Xbit; or

If the number of reported reference signals received by the terminal device configured by the network-side device is greater than 1, the terminal device indicates the received power value of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set corresponding to the maximum received power by Xbit, and the remaining alternatives The received power of the reference signals in the beam reference signal set is represented by Ybit;

Among them, X is a positive integer, and Y is a positive integer less than X.

In the above method, the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set are reported in the format in the standards in related technologies, which facilitates network side equipment to detect and identify, determine the beams corresponding to the received reference signals, and speed up work efficiency.

In a possible implementation manner, a reference signal received power (RSRP) of at least one reference signal in the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set reported by the terminal device is a first special state value.

In the above method, the first special state value is set between the terminal device and the network-side device, so that when the terminal device sends a reference signal to the network-side device, the network-side device can determine the corresponding reference signal reported by the terminal device according to the first special state value. The beams are the candidate beams, and communication is performed on the candidate beams. Do not use the beams with communication interruption before communication, which can improve the success rate of beam recovery for normal communication.

In a possible implementation manner, if the number of reference signals in the reported candidate beam reference signal set is less than the number of reported reference signals configured on the network side, and the terminal device reports the reference signals to the network side device through the PUCCH or PUSCH All of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set, the bit fields other than the bit fields of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set are reported as the second special state value.

In the above method, the terminal device uses the second special status value to fill the remaining bit fields except for the reference signal bit field in the set of candidate signal reference signals for reporting, so that the terminal device can normally report the reference signal to the network-side device and make the network side After receiving the reference signal reported by the terminal device, the device determines that the position filled with the second special status value is meaningless, and then detects the reference signal in the remaining candidate beam reference signal set, and communicates on multiple candidate beams , Do not use the beam with which the communication was interrupted before to communicate, which can improve the success rate of beam recovery for normal communication.

In a possible implementation manner, if the number of reference signals in the reported candidate beam reference signal set is less than the number of reported reference signals configured on the network side, and the terminal device reports the reference signals to the network side device through the PUCCH or PUSCH For the combination of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set and the L1-RSRP report, the layer one-reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) report uses the existing reception of the reference signal The power is mapped to the corresponding bits.

In the above method, since the terminal device sends multiple reference signals to the network-side device, the network-side device determines multiple corresponding beams according to the reference signals and communicates on the multiple beams, thereby improving the success rate of beam recovery.

In the above method, the terminal device uses the second special status value to fill the remaining bit fields except for the reference signal bit field in the report set of candidate beam reference signals, so that the terminal device can normally report the reference signal to the network-side device, and on the network side After the device receives the reference signal reported by the terminal device, it can determine that the position filled with the second special status value is meaningless, and then detect the reference signal in the remaining candidate beam reference signal set, and perform it on multiple candidate beams. Communication can also be performed on the previously used beams, which can improve the success rate of beam recovery for normal communication.

In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for reporting a reference signal. The method includes:

The network-side device configures the number of reported reference signals for the terminal device;

The network-side device receives the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set reported by the terminal device through the PUCCH or PUSCH.

In the above method, the network-side device configures the number of reference signal reports for the terminal device, so that the terminal device can report the corresponding number of reference signals according to the received reference signal quality. The reference signals in the selected beam reference signal set enable the network-side device to find the corresponding candidate beam according to the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set reported by the terminal device, and then switch to the alternative beam for communication. As a result, communication can continue on multiple candidate beams, which improves the success rate of beam recovery and reduces delay.

In a possible implementation manner, the format of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set received by the network-side device includes a reference signal index value and a reference signal received power.

In a possible implementation manner, if the number of reported reference signals configured by the network-side device for the terminal device is equal to 1, the received power value of the reference signals in the received candidate beam reference signal set is represented by Xbit;

If the number of reported reference signals configured by the network-side device for the terminal device is greater than 1, the received power value of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set corresponding to the received maximum received power is represented by Xbit, and the remaining candidate beams are referenced. The received power of the reference signal in the signal set is represented by Y bit;

Among them, X is a positive integer, and Y is a positive integer less than X.

In the above method, the network-side device receives the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set reported according to the standard format in the related technology, which is convenient for the network-side device to detect and identify the reference signal, reduce working time, and improve working efficiency.

In a possible implementation manner, the received power value of at least one reference signal in the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set received by the network-side device is the first special state value.

In the above method, the network-side device may determine, according to the first special status value, the beam corresponding to the reference signal reported by the terminal device as an alternative beam, and continue communication on the alternative beam, thereby improving the success rate of the beam recovery for normal communication.

In a possible implementation manner, if the number of reference signals in the reported candidate beam reference signal set is less than the number of reported reference signals configured on the network side, and the network side device receives the reference signals reported by the terminal device through the PUCCH or PUSCH All of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set, the bit fields other than the bit fields of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set are reported as the second special state value.

In the above method, the network side device can normally receive the reference signal sent by the terminal device, and determine that the bit field occupied by the second special state value is meaningless according to the second special state value, and it is determined that the actual reference signals are all candidate beam reference signals. The reference signals in the set are used to find corresponding candidate beams according to the actual reference signals, and communication is continued on the remaining multiple candidate beams to improve the success rate of beam recovery.

In a possible implementation manner, if the number of reference signals in the reported candidate beam reference signal set is less than the number of reported reference signals configured on the network side, and the network side device receives the reference signals reported by the terminal device through the PUCCH or PUSCH For the combination of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set and the L1-RSRP report, the L1-RSRP report uses the existing way of mapping the received power of the reference signal into corresponding bits.

The above method ensures that the network-side equipment can normally receive the reference signals reported by the terminal equipment and detect the received reference signals. When it is determined that there are reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set and the corresponding reference signals reported by L1-RSRP, Find the corresponding beam according to the two types of reference signals, and continue to communicate on the beam corresponding to the reference signal in the received candidate beam reference signal set. Since there are multiple beams that can communicate, the success of the beam to resume normal communication is improved. rate.

Those skilled in the art will know that with new services In the emergence of scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

The fifth-generation mobile communication technology is gradually mature. In order to meet the requirements of the fifth-generation mobile communication system, resource-rich high-frequency spectrum resources are used more, but the radio propagation resistance of the high-frequency spectrum is weak and it is difficult to achieve continuous coverage. When the terminal device determines that the beam quality for communication with the network-side device is poor, the terminal device needs to report a reference signal to the network-side device. When the network-side device receives the reference signal, it determines the corresponding beam according to the quality of the reference signal, and Beam switching is performed to enable normal communication between the terminal device and the network-side device, and avoid communication interruption.

In the related art, a terminal device can only send a beam recovery request on one PRACH resource group at a time, and only one reference signal can be reported at a time. The network side device and the terminal device perform the request through the beam corresponding to the reference signal. For communication, if the communication quality is poor, that is, the beam recovery is unsuccessful, the terminal device needs to send a beam recovery request to the network-side device again. Because only one reference signal can be reported at a time, the success rate of communication between the recovery network side device and the terminal device through the beam pair is relatively low, and multiple transmissions are required, with a large delay and low work efficiency.

Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a scheme for reporting a reference signal in a set of candidate beam reference signals for beam recovery through PUCCH or PUSCH. Since a terminal device can simultaneously report to a network-side device through PUCCH or PUSCH in the embodiment of the present disclosure Multiple reference signals. Network-side equipment and terminal equipment can communicate on the beams corresponding to multiple reference signals. The number of beams used for communication is large, and the success rate of normal communication is large. Multiple beams can be sent at one time, reducing Hourly delay, improve work efficiency.

Wherein, the terminal device is a device with a wireless communication function, which can be deployed on land, including indoor or outdoor, handheld or vehicle-mounted; it can also be deployed on the water (such as a ship, etc.); it can also be deployed in the air ( Such as airplanes, balloons, and satellites).

The network-side device is a device that provides wireless communication functions for the terminal device, including, but not limited to, gNB in 5G, a radio network controller (RNC), and a node B (node B, NB). ), Base station controller (BSC), base transceiver station (BTS), home base station (for example, home nodeB, or home nodeB, HNB), baseband unit (BBU) , Transmission point (TRP), transmission point (TP), mobile switching center, etc. The base station in this application may also be a device that provides a wireless communication function for the terminal device in other communication systems that may appear in the future.

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a schematic structural diagram of a system for reporting and receiving a reference signal. The system specifically includes:

The terminal device 10 is configured to receive the number of reported reference signals configured by the network-side device; and report the reference signals in the at least one candidate beam reference signal set to the network-side device through the PUCCH or PUSCH.

The network-side device 20 is configured to configure the number of reference signals reported for the terminal device; and receive the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set reported by the terminal device through the PUCCH or PUSCH.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device receives the number of reported reference signals configured by the network-side device, and reports at least one candidate beam to the network-side device through the PUCCH or PUSCH after determining the number of reference signals to be reported. Reference signals in the reference signal set; since the terminal device in this disclosure can report the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set corresponding to the number of configured reference signals to the network-side device at one time through PUCCH or PUSCH, due to the large number of reports, Because of the multiple reference signals, the terminal device and the network-side device perform beam recovery on the beams corresponding to multiple reference signals, which improves the success rate of normal communication for beam recovery. At the same time, due to multiple beam recovery for communication, the delay is reduced. increase work productivity.

Specifically, when the communication between the network-side device and the terminal device is interrupted, the network-side device sends multiple reference signals to the terminal device, and configures the number of reference signals to be reported for the terminal device according to the quality of the terminal device. It is assumed that the network-side device sends K reference signals to the terminal device, and configures the terminal device to report N reference signals.

After receiving the K reference signals sent by the network-side device, the corresponding terminal device detects the received power values of the K reference signals sent by the network-side device, and reports the N reference signals to the network-side device through PUCCH or PUSCH. .

It should be noted that the K reference signals include both the reference signals in the K1 candidate beam reference signal set and the K2 reference signals in the previously used reference signal set for L1-RSRP reporting. .

The L1-RSRP report refers to the content of the channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) configured by the network-side device for the terminal device, including: Reference Signal Resource Indication-Reference Signal Received Power (CSI-RS Resource Indicator-Reference Signal) Receiving Power (CSI-RSRP) or None (null); used to refer to the reference signal index and corresponding received power reported by the terminal device to the network-side device when there is no communication interruption.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal device reports the reference signal to the network-side device, the priority of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set is higher than the priority of the reference signal in the reference signal set used for L1-RSRP reporting. . That is, when the number of reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set meets the reported number configured by the network-side device, the terminal device reports all the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set; When the reference signal cannot satisfy the reported number configured by the network-side device, the reference signal reported by the terminal device to the network-side device is a combination of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal and the special status bit field (called the second special status value). Or the combination of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set and the reference signal in the reference signal set used for L1-RSRP reporting.

Specifically, when the terminal device reports the reference signal to the network-side device through the PUCCH or PUSCH, the reference signal format in the reported candidate beam reference signal set is the same as the format of the L1-RSRP reported in the standard in the related technology.

When the terminal device reports the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set to the network-side device, it mainly includes two parts: a reference signal index and a reference signal received power.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal device reports the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set to the network-side device, the format of the reported reference signal is related to the number of reports, and specifically includes the following methods:

Method 1: If the number of reported reference signals configured by the terminal device received by the network device is equal to 1, when the terminal device reports the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set, the received power in the reference signals The value is reported in Xbit, where X is a positive integer.

For example, the number of reported reference signals received by the terminal device configured by the network-side device is one. At this time, the received power value corresponding to the reference signal in an alternative beam reference signal set reported by the terminal device is converted into an X-bit format representation.

Correspondingly, the format of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set received by the network-side device from the terminal device is the reference signal index and the reference signal received power, and the reference signal received power corresponds to the Xbit format.

Method 2: If the number of reported reference signals configured by the terminal device received by the terminal device is greater than 1, the terminal device reports the reference signals in a differential manner when reporting the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set. The received power value of the reference signal with the largest received power is reported in the X-bit manner, and the received power values of the remaining reference signals are reported in the Y-bit manner, where Y is a positive integer less than X.

For example, if the number of reported reference signals configured by the network-side device is received by the terminal device, and it is determined that the number of reported reference signals is greater than 1, the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set are reported in a differential manner. The received power value corresponding to the reference signal with the highest power is converted to X-bit format, and the received power value of the other reference signal is converted to Y-bit format. At this time, Y is a positive integer less than X, assuming X = 7, Y = 4, the received power value corresponding to the reference signal with the highest received power is converted into a 7-bit format representation, and the received power value of the other reference signal is converted into a 4-bit format representation.

Correspondingly, the format of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set received by the network-side device from the terminal device is the reference signal index and the reference signal received power, and the received power corresponding to the received reference signal is 7bit and 4bit respectively. form.

In implementation, the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set are reported in the format in the standards in related technologies, which facilitates network side equipment to detect and identify, determine the beam corresponding to the received reference signal, and speed up work efficiency.

Based on the above, the present disclosure is briefly introduced through the following embodiments.

Embodiment 1: The network side device configures and reports 1 reference signal (N = 1) for the terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a criterion for identifying a reference signal in a set of candidate beam reference signals is set between the terminal device and the network-side device, that is, the RSRP value of the reference signal in the set of candidate beam reference signals is set to a first special state value. , When the network-side device detects that the RSRP value in the reference signal reported by the terminal device is the first special state value, it determines that the received reference signal is a reference signal in a candidate beam reference signal set, at this time The network-side device switches the beam to the candidate beam corresponding to the reference signal, and communicates with the terminal device on the candidate beam.

Wherein, the first special status value is set in advance by the terminal device and the network-side device, and the first special status value may be set to an all "0" state or an all "1" state, which is not limited herein. Is only an example, and the first special state value is also applicable to the following embodiments.

Take the first special state value as an all-zero state as an example.

When the network-side device reports a reference signal to the terminal device, (T + X) bit can be used to report the reference signal, where T bit represents the reference signal index and X bit represents the received power value of the reference signal. If the content reported by the terminal device is {X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0}, after the network-side device receives the content reported by the terminal device, it detects the content reported by the terminal device and determines a reference signal based on the detection result. The received power is all "0" state, at this time, the RSRP value of the reference signal is determined to be the first special state value, and it is determined that the terminal device reports the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set, and then the network The side device communicates with the terminal device on the candidate beam;

If the received power of the reference signal received by the terminal device is not in an all "0" state, it is determined that the terminal device reports the reference signal in the reference signal set used for L1-RSRP reporting.

Embodiment 2: The network side device configures and reports N reference signals (N> 1) for the terminal device, and the reference signal to be reported in the K1 candidate beam reference signal set sent by the network side device is larger than the configured reporting reference signal. Number (K1> N), at this time, all N reference signals reported by the terminal device are reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device reports the reference signals in the multiple candidate beam reference signal sets to the network-side device. At this time, if the network device detects the RSRP value of the reference signals in at least one candidate beam reference signal set When it is the first special status value, it is determined that all the multiple reference signals reported by the terminal device are reference signals in a set of candidate beam reference signals.

The two reference signals are reported above, and the first special state value is all “0” state as an example.

At this time, when the reference signal is reported according to the format in the standard in the related technology, the reference signal should be reported in a differential manner. It is assumed that the reference signal is reported in the format of (T + X) bit and (T + Y) bit, where Tbit Indicates the reference signal index, X bit indicates the reference signal received power value corresponding to the reference signal with the maximum received power at the time of reporting, and Y bit indicates the reference signal received power value corresponding to the remaining reference signals.

When the network-side device determines that the reference signal received power value in at least one of the two reference signals reported by the terminal device is all “0” states, determining that the terminal device reports the candidate beam reference Reference signals in the signal set; otherwise, the reference signals in the L1-RSRP reference signal set are reported.

Specifically, the content reported by the terminal device may be in the following format:

Format 1: X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T Y ₁ … Y _Y ;

Format 2: X ₁ X ₂ … X _T Y ₁ … Y _X

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0;

Format 3: X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0;

When the network-side device detects that the reference signal reported by the terminal device is any of the above three types, it may determine that the reference signal reported by the terminal device is a reference signal in a set of candidate beam reference signals. At this time, The network-side device and the terminal device continue to communicate on the candidate beam.

Among them, “Y ₁ … Y _X ” and “Y ₁ … Y _Y ” are any combination of “0” and “1” bits, and are not limited herein.

In implementation, the first special status value is set between the terminal device and the network-side device, so that when the terminal device sends a reference signal to the network-side device, the network-side device may determine the reference signal location reported by the terminal device according to the first special status value. The corresponding beam is an alternative beam, and communication is performed on the alternative beam. Communication is not performed using a beam that previously had a communication interruption, which improves the success rate of beam recovery and normal communication.

Embodiment 3: The network side device configures and reports N reference signals (N> 1) for the terminal device, but the reference signal to be reported in the K1 candidate beam reference signal set sent by the network side device is smaller than the report configured by the network side device The number of reference signals (K1 <N). At this time, the N reference signals reported by the terminal device include reference signals in the K1 candidate beam reference signal set, and the remaining bit fields are second special status values.

Optionally, if the number of reported reference signals in the reported candidate beam reference signal set is less than the number of reported reference signals configured on the network side, and the terminal device reports the reference to the network side device through PUCCH or PUSCH All the signals are reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set, and the bit fields other than the bit fields of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set are reported as the second special state value.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a standard for confirming that there is no corresponding reference signal is set between the terminal device and the network-side device, that is, when the reported reference signal has a bit field that is not filled by the reference signal, but is not filled. The bit field cannot be empty. At this time, a second special state value is set to fill the bit field not occupied by the reference signal. It has no meaning and does not have a corresponding reference signal; it is only convenient for the network-side equipment to normally receive the occupied signal. Reference signal over the bit field. When the network-side device detects the second special status value, it can be determined that there is no reference signal at this position, but it will continue to detect reference signals at other positions.

Wherein, the second special state value is set in advance by the terminal device and the network-side device, and the second special state value may be set to an all "0" state or an all "1" state, which is not limited herein. , Just for illustration.

The network side device is configured to report three reference signals to the terminal device, but the terminal device can only report the reference signals in the two candidate beam reference signal sets, and the second special status value occupies the remaining bit field of the reference signal as an example. Among them, the first special state value is set to all “0” states, and the second special state value is set to all “1” states.

At this time, when the reference signal is reported according to the format in the standard in the related technology, the reference signal should be reported in a differential manner. It is assumed that the reference signal is reported in the format of (T + X) bit and (T + Y) bit, where Tbit Indicates the reference signal index, X bit indicates the reference signal received power value corresponding to the reference signal with the maximum received power at the time of reporting, and Y bit indicates the reference signal received power value corresponding to the remaining reference signals.

When the network-side device determines that the received power value of the reference signal in at least one of the three reference signals reported by the terminal device is all “0”, and that the received reference signal has a second special status value In the occupied bit field, it is determined that all the reference signals reported by the terminal device are reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set, otherwise, the reference signals in the L1-RSRP reference signal set are reported.

The network side device configures the terminal device to report three reference signals. At this time, the reported reference signal cannot be empty. When the terminal device reports the reference signal, optionally, the reference signal in the set of candidate beam reference signals is reported. Because there are only two reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set in the terminal device, the second special state value is used to occupy the remaining bit field of the reference signal. Since the reported reference signals are all candidate beam reference signals The reference signals in the set, therefore, when the network-side device detects that the reported first and second special status values exist in the reported candidate reference signals, it determines that the reference signals are all the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set.

Specifically, the content reported by the terminal device may be in the following format:

Format 1: X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T Y ₁ … Y _Y

1 1 ...... 1;

For format one, the three reference signals reported by the terminal device include a first special status value and a second special status value. At this time, the network-side device determines that the terminal device reports the reference signals in the two candidate beam reference signal sets.

Format 2: X ₁ X ₂ … X _T Y ₁ … Y _X

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

1 1 ...... 1;

For format two, the three reference signals reported by the terminal device include a first special status value and a second special status value. At this time, the network-side device determines that the terminal device reports the reference signals in the two candidate beam reference signal sets.

Format 3: X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

1 1 ...... 1;

For format three, the three reference signals reported by the terminal device have two first special status values and one second special status value. At this time, the network-side device determines that the terminal device reports the reference signals in the two candidate beam reference signal sets. .

For the above three formats, the network side device detects that the bit field of a reference signal is occupied by the second special state value, and then determines that two of the three received reference signals are reference signals and that the first special state value exists Therefore, the network-side device determines that the two reference signals reported by the terminal device are reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set.

When the network-side device detects that the terminal device reports any of the three types of content, it may determine that the terminal device reports the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set.

Among them, “Y ₁ … Y _X ” and “Y ₁ … Y _Y ” are any combination of “0” and “1” bits, and are not limited herein.

In implementation, the terminal device uses the second special state value to fill the remaining bit fields except for the reference signal bit field in the set of candidate signal reference signals for reporting, so that the terminal device can normally report the reference signal to the network-side device and After the side device receives the reference signal reported by the terminal device, it can determine that the position filled with the second special status value is meaningless, and then detect the reference signal in the remaining candidate beam reference signal set, and place it on multiple candidate beams. Communicating without using a beam that previously had a communication interruption to communicate can improve the success rate of beam communication for normal communications.

Embodiment 4: The network side device configures and reports N reference signals (N> 1) for the terminal device, but the number of reference signals to be reported in the set of candidate beam reference signals sent by the network side device is K1, which is less than the configured reporting reference signal. Number (K1 <N), at this time, the N reference signals reported by the terminal device include reference signals in the K1 candidate beam reference signal set, and N-K1 are used in the reference signal set reported by L1-RSRP. Reference signal.

Optionally, if the number of reported reference signals in the set of candidate beam reference signals to be reported is less than the number of reported reference signals configured on the network side, and the reference signals reported by the terminal device to the network side device through PUCCH or PUSCH are In the combination of the reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set and the L1-RSRP report, the L1-RSRP report uses the existing way of mapping the received power value of the reference signal into corresponding bits.

When the number of reporting reference signals configured by the network-side device for the terminal device is greater than the number of reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set sent by the network-side device to the terminal device, the terminal device may send a part of the backup signal when reporting the reference signal. Select the reference signals in the beam reference signal set, another part sends the reference signals in the reference signal set used for L1-RSRP reporting, and when sending the reference signals in the L1-RSRP reference signal set, it is used for L1-RSRP reporting The manner in which the received power values of the reference signals in the reference signal set of the RB are mapped to corresponding bits.

The network side device configuration reports three reference signals, two of which are reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set, and the first special state value is an all-zero state example.

At this time, when reporting the reference signal according to the format in the standard in the related technology, the reference signal should be reported in a differential manner. It is assumed that the reference signal is reported in the format of (T + X) bit and (T + Y) bit, where Tbit Indicates the reference signal parameter index, X bit indicates the reference signal received power value corresponding to the reference signal with the maximum received power at the time of reporting, and Y bit indicates the reference signal received power value corresponding to the remaining reference signals.

When the three reference signals reported by the terminal device are determined, the received power of the reference signals in the two candidate beam reference signal sets reported at this time is the first special status value, and the remaining ones used for L1-RSRP reporting The manner in which the received power values of the reference signals in the reference signal set are mapped to corresponding bits.

The network side device configures the terminal device to report three reference signals. At this time, the reported reference signal cannot be empty. When the terminal device reports the reference signal, optionally, the reference signal in the set of candidate beam reference signals is reported. Because there are only two reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set in the terminal device, the L1-RSRP reporting format is used to report the reference signal corresponding to the bit field of the remaining reference signal. When the format is reported, the bit field corresponding to the received power of the reference signal reported by L1-RSRP adopts the method of “0” and “1” bits converted according to the received power value of the reference signal. Therefore, in the alternative beam reference signal set, When reporting the reference signals, the RSRP values of the reference signals in all the candidate beam reference signal sets are represented by the first special status value to prevent the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set from being reported and the reference used for L1-RSRP reporting. The reference signals in the signal set report confusion.

Specifically, the content reported by the terminal device has the following format:

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T 0 0… 0

X ₁ X ₂ … X _T R ₁ … R _X ;

For the content format reported by the terminal device, the network-side device may optionally report the reference signals in the two candidate beam reference signal sets, and the RSRP value of the reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set is mostly the first special status value. , The RSRP value reported by L1-RSRP is the "0" "1" bit corresponding to the received power;

Therefore, when the network-side device receives the reference signal in the above format, it does not detect the second special status value, but detects the RSRP value reported by L1-RSRP. At this time, it is determined that the reference signals corresponding to the two first special status values are alternatives. For the reference signals in the beam reference signal set, the remaining one is reported by L1-RSRP.

The network-side device receives the three reference signals reported by the terminal device, detects the reference signal received power among the three reference signals, and determines that two of them are the first special state value, indicating that there are reference signals in the candidate beam reference signal set. Communicating with a terminal device after determining a corresponding candidate beam according to a reference signal in the candidate beam reference signal set;

The network-side device determines that the bit of the reference signal received power of another reference signal is mapped to corresponding bits according to the reference signal received power, and then determines it as a reference signal in the reference signal set used for L1-RSRP reporting, and The corresponding L1-RSRP is determined according to the mapping relationship between the reference signal received power and the bits.

In implementation, the terminal device uses the second special state value to fill the remaining bit fields except for the reference signal bit field in the set of candidate signal reference signals for reporting, so that the terminal device can normally report the reference signal to the network-side device and After the side device receives the reference signal reported by the terminal device, it can determine that the position filled with the second special status value is meaningless, and then detect the reference signal in the remaining candidate beam reference signal set, and place it on multiple candidate beams. Communication can improve the success rate of beam communication for normal communication.
