Description

基于SSB的测量方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,特别涉及一种基于SSB的测量方法及装置。
背景技术
3GPP(第3代合作伙伴计划,3rd Generation Partnership Project)正在研究下一代无线通信系统的相关议题。在下一代无线通信系统中,例如,在新无线(NR,New Radio)系统中,一个周期中的同步信号块(Sychronization Signal Block,SSB)在一个半子帧中(half sub-frame)传输,一个半子帧的长度为5ms。在NR系统中,针对不同的频段和子载波间隔,预定义了一个半子帧中的SSB的时域位置,并通过SSB索引(SSB index)表示不同时域位置的SSB,一个SSB中的解调参考信号(DemodulationReference Sgnal,DMRS)和物理广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)可指示该SSB对应的SSB index。例如,针对3~6GHz频段,一个半子帧包括预定义的8个SSB的时域位置,这8个SSB与数值为0~7的SSB index一一对应。
在NR系统中,网络可配置连接态用户设备(User Equipment,UE)根据测量配置进行测量并上报测量结果。测量配置通过RRC信令发送给UE,例如,通过RRCReconfiguration消息。测量配置例如包括以下的至少一个参数:测量对象(MOs,Measurement objects)、上报配置(Reporting configurations)、测量标识(Measurement identities)、量化配置(Quantity configurations)以及测量间隔(Measurement gaps),其中,测量对象包括UE应该进行测量的测量对象列表,一个测量对象对应一个特定的参考信号的时频域位置和子载波间隔(SCS),上报配置中包括UE应该上报的测量信息,测量标识表征了测量对象和上报配置的对应关系,一个测量标识表征一个测量对象与一个上报配置的对应关系。
具体地,网络可能配置UE进行基于SSB和/或CSI-RS(CSI reference signals)的测量。以基于SSB的测量信息为例,测量对象指示了待测量的SSB的时频域位置和SCS。
当UE根据该MO进行测量时,UE可能测量该MO对应的多个小区,这多个小区在该MO指示的时频域位置和并采用该MO指示的SCS发送SSB。UE可通过SSB 对应的物理小区标识(Physical Cell ID,PCI)区分对应不同小区的SSB,即认为对应相同PCI的SSB属于同一个小区。这多个小区可能包括不同类型的小区,例如,服务小区,MO中列出的小区,以及未在MO中列出但被UE检测到的小区。
应该注意,上面对技术背景的介绍只是为了方便对本发明的技术方案进行清楚、完整的说明,并方便本领域技术人员的理解而阐述的。不能仅仅因为这些方案在本发明的背景技术部分进行了阐述而认为上述技术方案为本领域技术人员所公知。
发明内容
在NR Rel-15中,SSB发送窗中的SSB与波束一一对应,或者说,SSB发送窗中的SSB时域位置(通过SSB index表征)与波束一一对应。并且,由于仅针对授权频段,一般地,不同SSB发送窗中实际发送的SSB集合对应的SSB时域位置相同。因此,UE可以根据SSB时域位置与波束的一一对应关系,得到该SSB时域位置对应的波束的测量结果,或者,基于对一个或多个波束的测量得到相应小区的测量结果,从而将测量结果上报给网络。
但是,发明人发现,在NR-U中,考虑到SSB的发送受限于LBT(Listen Before Talk,先听后说),为了保证小区覆盖,增加了一个SSB发送窗中的用于发送SSB的候选SSB时域位置。候选SSB时域位置数量的增加可能使得UE进行测量的复杂度和功耗增加。
另一方面,由于网络设备在检测到信道空闲时才能发送SSB,在一个SSB发送窗中,网络设备可能只能发送一部分SSB,甚至不发送SSB,不同SSB发送窗中发送的SSB集合对应的的SSB时域位置可能不同。因此,若采用现有方法进行测量,可能难以保证测量结果的准确度,进而影响移动性管理的可靠性。
为了解决上述问题的至少一个,本发明实施例提供了一种基于SSB的测量方法及装置。

下面结合附图对本发明实施例的各种实施方式进行说明。这些实施方式只是示例性的,不是对本发明的限制。
实施例1
本发明实施例提供了一种基于SSB的测量方法,该方法应用于用户设备侧。
图2是本发明实施例1的基于SSB的测量方法的示意图,如图2所示,该方法包括:
步骤201:根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的准共站址(Quasi co-location,QCL)关系、第一小区对应的SSB发送限制以及对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果中的至少一个,得到第一小区的第一测量结果;
步骤202:根据第一小区的第一测量结果生成第一小区的测量信息;以及
步骤203:向网络(network)发送该测量信息。
这样,通过根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系、第一小区对应的SSB发送限制以及对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果中的至少一个,得到第一小区的第一测量结果,并根据该第一测量结果生成第一小区的测量信息并上报,能够有效的提高基于SSB的测量上报的准确度并降低基于SSB的测量的复杂度和功耗。
在本实施例中,第一小区可以是UE的服务小区或非服务小区,例如,非服务小区可以是MO中列出的小区或者未在MO中列出但被UE检测到的小区。
在本实施例中,SSB之间的QCL关系也可以称为SSB与波束的关联关系。当两个SSB是QCL的时,也可以说这两个SSB关联的波束相同。为便于进一步解释,以下采用后一种方式。在本实施例中,一个窗中包括多个候选SSB时域位置(例如称为candidate SSB(time)position),UE可以在各候选SSB时域位置尝试接收SSB以进行测量。对UE测量来说,该窗可以称为发送窗,也可以称为测量窗,例如表示为DRS transmission window,SMTC window,DMTC window等。考虑多波束(multi-beam)场景,一个小区可能只有一个或有多个波束,由于SSB的发送受限于LBT,一个波束在一个窗中可能需要发送机会以保证覆盖。也即,一个窗中可能存在位于不同候选SSB时域位置的SSB关联同一波束。
在一个实施例中,一个窗中的SSB与波束的关联关系可以根据候选SSB时域位置与波束的对应关系确定。并且不同窗中的SSB与波束的关联关系相同。
例如,表1表示一个窗中的候选SSB时域位置和波束的对应关系。
候选SSB时域位置 波束
0 0
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 0
5 1
6 2
7 3
表1
如表1所示,一个窗中包括了8个候选SSB时域位置,其候选SSB时域位置索引(例如为candidate SSB(time)position index)分别是0~7,其使用的波束有4个,波束索引(例如为beam index,SSB index)分别为0~3,其中,在候选SSB时域位置索引为0和4发送的SSB对应于相同的波束0,在候选SSB时域位置索引为1和5发送的SSB对应于相同的波束1,在候选SSB时域位置索引为2和6发送的SSB对应于相同的波束2,在候选SSB时域位置索引为3和7发送的SSB对应于相同的波束3。 表1仅作为示例,一个窗中的SSB个数也可以例如为10(SSB SCS=15kHz)或20(SSB SCS=30kHz),波束个数例如为1~8中的整数个。
在另一个实施例中,一个窗或不同窗中的SSB与波束的关联关系可以根据SSB中的DMRS序列确定。此时,如果一个候选SSB时域位置对应一个DMRS序列,则也可以根据候选SSB时域位置确定;否则,可能只能根据序列确定。
在本实施例中,由于不同小区的一个窗中的候选SSB时域位置和波束个数可能不同,不同小区对应的SSB与波束的关联关系也可能不同。
在本实施例中,SSB发送限制例如包括以下至少一个:一个窗中的SSB规定发送个数、一个窗中的SSB最大发送个数,一个窗中的SSB发送范围,一个窗中一个波束对应的SSB规定发送个数,以及一个窗中一个波束对应的SSB最大发送个数。
在本实施例中,由于不同小区一个窗中的候选SSB时域位置、波束个数以及所需发送的SSB个数可能不同,不同小区对应的SSB发送限制也可能不同。
在本实施例中,对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果是指UE对于第一小区发送的SSB的检测结果,例如,在一个窗或多个窗中,候选SSB时域位置对应的SSB接收功率大小、UE检测到的SSB的数量以及检测到的SSB所在的候选SSB时域位置。
在步骤201中,可以根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的准共站址(Quasi co-location,QCL)关系、第一小区对应的SSB发送限制以及对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果中的至少一个,得到第一小区的第一测量结果。
图3是本发明实施例1的实现步骤201的方法的一示意图。如图3所示,步骤201包括:
步骤301:根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系、第一小区对应的SSB发送限制以及对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果中的至少一个,得到第一小区的第二测量结果,第二测量结果是波束水平或者SSB时域位置水平的;以及
步骤302:根据至少一个第二测量结果,得到第一测量结果。
在本实施例中,第一测量结果可以是L3层(layer 3)的测量结果,即L3filtering的测量值。
在本实施例中,第二测量结果可以是L1层(layer 1)的测量结果,即L1filtering的测量值。
第一测量结果是RSRP、RSRQ或者SINR,相应地,第二测量结果是SS-RSRP、 SS-RSRQ或者SS-SINR。即,若第一测量结果是RSRP,应根据SS-RSRP得到第一测量结果。
在本实施例中,以第二测量结果是SS-RSRP为例说明UE如何得到第二测量结果。
在步骤301中,可以根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系、第一小区对应的SSB发送限制以及对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果中的至少一个,得到第一小区的第二测量结果。第二测量结果是波束水平(beam level,或者beam-specific)的或时域位置水平(position level,或者position-specific)的。也就是说,一个第二测量结果对应于一个波束(beam)或者一个SSB时域位置(或者候选SSB时域位置)。
针对第二测量结果是波束水平的情况,表2表示一个窗中的候选SSB时域位置、波束以及SS-RSRP的对应关系。

表2
如表2所示,作为第二测量结果的SS-RSRP是与波束对应的,也就是说,一个SS-RSRP对应于一个波束,并且不同的波束对应于不同的SS-RSRP。表2仅作为示例,一个窗中的SSB个数也可以例如为10(SSB SCS=15kHz)或20(SSB SCS=30kHz),波束个数例如为1~8中的整数个。
针对第二测量结果对应于时域位置的情况,表3表示一个窗中的SSB的时域位置与SS-RSRP的对应关系。

表3
如表3所示,作为第二测量结果的SS-RSRP是与时域位置对应的,也就是说,一个时域位置对应一个SS-RSRP,不同的时域位置对应于不同的SS-RSRP。表3仅作为示例,一个窗中的SSB个数也可以例如为10(SSB SCS=15kHz)或20(SSB SCS=30kHz),波束个数例如为1~8中的整数个。
以下,对步骤301中如何得到第二测量结果进行示例性的说明。
情况1)针对第二测量结果是波束水平的情况进行说明。
图4是本发明实施例1的实现步骤301的方法的一示意图。如图4所示,步骤301包括:
步骤401:在一个窗中的位于不同候选SSB时域位置的对应第一波束的多个SSB中选择SSB;以及
步骤402:根据选择的SSB,得到对应于第一波束的第二测量结果。
在步骤401中,按照各个窗分别选择SSB,在不同窗中选择的SSB的数量和/或时域位置可能相同,也可能不同。
对于在一个窗内有成功发送的SSB的情况,当对应第一波束的SSB至少有一个时,则从该SSB中选择至少一个SSB,另外,也可能存在一个窗内没有成功发送的SSB的情况,此时则不选择SSB,即选择0个SSB,或者,也可能存在在一个窗内有成功发送的SSB但是没有对应于第一波束的SSB的情况,此时选择的对应于第一波束的SSB的数量也是0。
示例1.1)根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系得到第一小区的第二测量结果。例如,根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系,确定某一时域位置的SSB是否用于得到第二测量结果,也就是说,根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系,选择一个窗中的SSB中的一部分SSB得到第二测量结果。
例如,对应于第一波束的多个SSB的时域位置索引分别为0和4,则可以选择时域位置索引为4的SSB,根据该SSB得到对应于第一波束的SS-RSRP。
示例1.2)根据第一小区对应的SSB发送限制得到第一小区的第二测量结果。例如,根据第一小区对应的SSB发送限制,确定某一时域位置的SSB是否用于得到第二测量结果,也就是说,根据第一小区的SSB发送限制,选择一个窗中的SSB中的一部分SSB得到第二测量结果。
如上所述,例如,第一小区对应的SSB发送限制可以包括以下至少一个:一个窗中的SSB规定发送个数、一个窗中的SSB最大发送个数,一个窗中的SSB发送范围。
例如,一个窗中的SSB规定发送个数或最大发送个数设为X,UE在位置x接收到一个SSB,则不基于该窗中位置x-X+1~x+X-1以外的位置的SSB得到SS-RSRP。
例如,一个窗中的SSB发送范围设为N,也就是说,在一个窗中的位置n开始发送SSB的情况下,则不能在该窗的n+N之后的位置发送SSB。当UE在位置x接收到一个SSB时,则不基于该窗中位置x-N+1~x+N-1以外的位置的SSB得到SS-RSRP。
示例1.3)根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系和第一小区对应的SSB发送限制得到第一小区的第二测量结果。例如,根据SSB之间的QCL关系和SSB发送限制确定是否基于某一时域位置的SSB得到第二测量结果,也就是说,根据SSB之间的QCL关系和SSB发送限制选择一个窗中对应同一波束的SSB中的一部分SSB得到相应的第二测量结果。
如上所述,第一小区对应的SSB发送限制还可以包括以下至少一个:一个窗中的对应于一个波束的SSB的规定发送个数,以及一个窗中的对应于一个波束的SSB的最大发送个数。
例如,一个窗中的对应于一个波束的SSB的规定发送个数或一个窗中的对应于一个波束的SSB的最大发送个数设为Y。例如,当UE在一个窗中接收到Y个对应 该波束的SSB时,则不基于该窗中其他位置的对应该波束的SSB得到相应的SS-RSRP。
示例1.4)另外,也可以基于示例1.1~1.3,进一步结合对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果而得到第一小区的第二测量结果。
例如,根据第一小区的SSB发送限制和对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果,确定某一时域位置的SSB是否用于得到第二测量结果,也就是说,根据第一小区的SSB发送限制和对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果,选择一个窗中的SSB中的一部分SSB得到第二测量结果。
情况2)针对第二测量结果对应于时域位置的情况进行说明。
图5是本发明实施例1的实现步骤301的方法的另一示意图。如图5所示,步骤301包括:
步骤501:在不同窗中的对应第一SSB时域位置的多个SSB中选择SSB;以及
步骤502:根据选择的SSB,得到对应于第一SSB时域位置的第二测量结果。
在本实施例中,对于在至少一个窗内成功发送了对应第一SSB时域位置的SSB的情况,从至少一个窗内成功发送的对应第一SSB时域位置的SSB中选择至少一个SSB,对于没有一个窗内成功发送了对应第一SSB时域位置的SSB的情况,则选择的对应第一SSB时域位置的SSB的数量为0。
示例2.1)根据第一小区的SSB发送限制得到第一小区的第二测量结果。
示例2.1与示例1.2的具体方法类似,区别在于示例2.2中的第二测量结果是SSB时域位置水平的。相似的内容不再重复说明。
示例2.2)根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系和第一小区对应的SSB发送限制得到第一小区的第二测量结果。
示例2.2与示例1.3的具体方法类似,区别在于示例2.2中的第二测量结果是SSB时域位置水平的。相似的内容不再重复说明。
示例2.3)另外,也可以基于示例2.1~2.2,进一步结合对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果而得到第一小区的第二测量结果。
示例2.3与示例1.4的具体方法类似,区别在于示例2.3中的第二测量结果是SSB时域位置水平的的。相似的内容不再重复说明。
以上,对步骤301的实现方法进行了示例性的说明。
在步骤302中,根据至少一个第二测量结果,得到第一测量结果。
在本实施例中,第一测量结果是根据至少一个第二测量结果得到的。第一测量结果可能是小区水平cell-level(cell quantity/cell measurement quantity)或波束水平beam-level(beam quantity/beam measurement quantity)或时域位置水平position-level(position quantity/position measurement quantity)的,第二测量结果是波束水平beam level或时域位置水平position level的。
例如,UE可以根据以下的公式(1),通过L3滤波后得到第一测量结果:
F n=(1–a)*F n-1+a*M n   (1)
其中,M n是对应最近的至少一个第二测量结果的一个值,F n-1是更新之前的第一测量结果,F n是更新后的第一测量结果,a=1/2 (k/4),k是滤波器系数filterCoefficient。
在本实施例中,用于生成测量信息的第一测量结果是基于多个M n得到的,而这多个M n是根据多个不同时间段内分别获得的第二测量结果得到的,一个时间段内一般包括多个窗,也即,一个第二测量结果可以是通过在多个窗中测量SSB得到的。从而,一个第一测量结果可以是根据多个窗的SSB得到的。
以下,对由至少一个第二测量结果得到第一测量结果进行示例性的说明。
例1:当第一测量结果是cell-level的,而第二测量结果是beam level时,例如,Mn=多个第二测量结果中的一个第二测量结果,或者Mn=多个第二测量结果的平均值。
例2:当第一测量结果是cell level的,而第二测量结果是position level时,例如,Mn=多个第二测量结果中的一个第二测量结果,或者Mn=多个第二测量结果的平均值。再例如,针对第一小区的一个波束,UE根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系通过选择多个对应该波束的第二测量结果中的一个或者合并该多个第二测量结果,得到对应该波束的第三测量结果(beam level),再根据多个对应不同波束的第三测量结果得到Mn,具体地,Mn=多个第三测量结果中的一个第三测量结果,或者Mn=多个第三测量结果的平均值。
例3:当第一测量结果是beam-level的,而第二测量结果是beam level时,则Mn=第二测量结果,该第二测量结果与第一测量结果对应的beam相同。
例4:当第一测量结果是beam-level的,而第二测量结果是position level时,例如,针对第一小区的一个波束,UE根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系通过 选择多个对应该波束的第二测量结果中的一个或者合并该多个第二测量结果,得到对应该波束的第三测量结果(beam level),即,与例2中针对一个波束的处理相同,Mn=第三测量结果,从而得到对应该波束的第一测量结果。
例5:当第一测量结果是position level的,而第二测量结果是position level时,则Mn=第二测量结果,该第二测量结果与第一测量结果对应的position相同。
例如,第二测量结果可以SSB时域位置水平的,第二测量结果可以包括对应不同SSB时域位置的多个第二测量结果,根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系选择多个第二测量结果中的一个或者合并多个第二测量结果,根据选择的第二测量结果或者合并后的结果得到第一测量结果。
在本实施例中,多个第二测量结果对应的不同SSB时域位置可以对应同一波束,也就是说,多个第二测量结果可以对应同一波束。
例如,由于作为第二测量结果的L1filtering测量值SS-RSRP是对应于时域位置的的,而一个窗中的多个时域位置的SSB可能对应相同的波束,UE可以通过对应相同波束的per position(对应于时域位置)的SS-RSRP进行选择或合并得到per beam(波束水平)的SS-RSRP’,再根据per beam的SS-RSRP’得到小区水平(cell-level)和/或波束水平(beam-level)的L3filtering的测量结果,即第一测量结果。
以上,对步骤201的实现方法进行了示例性的说明。
在步骤202中,根据第一小区的第一测量结果生成第一小区的测量信息。图6是本发明实施例1的实现步骤202的方法的另一示意图。如图6所示,步骤202包括:
步骤601:根据第一测量结果生成第一小区的波束水平的测量信息,其中,第一小区的第一测量结果是波束水平的,或者,
步骤602:根据第一测量结果以及第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系,生成第一小区的波束水平的测量信息,其中,第一小区的第一测量结果SSB时域位置水平的,测量信息中包括SSB时域位置索引,测量信息包括的两个SSB时域位置索引对应的波束不同。
在步骤601中,例如,UE可通过上报波束水平的第一测量结果以及波束索引来告知网络一个小区(cell)的波束水平(beam level)的测量信息。
在步骤602中,例如,UE通过上报SSB时域位置水平的的第一测量结果以及SSB时域位置索引告知网络一个小区(cell)的波束水平(beam level)的测量信息, 在上报测量信息之前,UE根据SSB之间的QCL关系生成测量信息,其中,测量信息中的两个SSB时域位置索引对应的波束不同。
另外,对于对应于一个波束的多个SSB时域位置对应的多个第一测量结果,可以选择其中一个第一测量结果或者合并多个第一测量结果,根据选择的一个第一测量结果或合并的结果生成第一小区的对应于一个波束的测量信息。
在步骤203中,UE向网络(network)发送该测量信息。
例如,测量信息包括在MeasurementReport中,一个MeasurementReport可能包括对应同一MO的多个小区的测量信息。
在本实施例中,用于得到第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系以及第一小区对应的SSB发送限制中的至少一个是预定义的或者是网络指示的。以下,针对网络指示的情况进行具体的示例性的说明。
如图2所示,该方法还可以包括:
步骤204:接收指示信息,指示信息指示了第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系和第一小区对应的SSB发送限制中的至少一个。
在本实施例中,该指示信息可以显示或隐式的指示第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系和第一小区对应的SSB发送限制中的至少一个。
例如,该指示信息包含指示第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系的第一指示信息和/或指示第一小区的SSB发送限制的第二指示信息,
第一指示信息包括:一个窗中的波束数量和一个窗中的SSB分组中的至少一个;
第二指示信息包括:一个窗中的SSB规定发送个数、SSB的最大发送个数、发送SSB的时域范围以及一个窗中的对应于一个波束的SSB的规定发送个数以及最大发送个数中的至少一个。
在本实施例中,一个窗中的波束数量也可以称为non-QCLed SSB数或者DMRS sequence数。
例如,可以根据以下的公式(2)或(3)确定SSB之间的QCL关系:
Beam index=mod(t,Q)    (2)
Figure PCTCN2019085373-appb-000001
其中,t为一个窗中的候选SSB时域位置index,Q1为对应相同波束连续的候选SSB时域位置个数,Q1是预定义的或网络指示的,例如Q1=2。
在本实施例中,该指示信息可以是第一小区发送的,也可以是第二小区发送的。
在本实施例中,第一小区可以是UE的一个服务小区或非服务小区,例如,MO中列出的小区或者未在MO中列出但被UE检测到的小区。第二小区可以是UE的一个服务小区。
例如,该指示信息是通过物理广播信道(PBCH)、MAC信令、系统信息中的至少一个发送的。
在该情况下,该指示信息还可以用于UE在第一小区收发其他信号和/或信道。
在本实施例中,在该指示信息是第一小区发送的情况下,该指示信息仅用于第一小区的测量,或者,指示信息还可以用于第二小区的基于SSB的测量,第二小区的SSB与第一小区SSB的频域位置和SCS相同。
又例如,该指示信息是通过RRC信令发送的。例如,该RRC信令是RRC专用信令,例如,通过RRCReconfiguration发送。
在该情况下,该指示信息可以是MO特定的(per MO,即MO-specific)或小区特定(per cell,即cell-specific)的。另外,可用于频内测量(intra-frequency measurement)和频间测量(inter-frequency measurement)的测量配置。
例如,对于该指示信息是MO特定的情况,即一个指示信息对应一个MO,或者说,一个MO中包括一个指示信息,且没有指定该指示信息关联的小区标识,该指示信息适用于UE对该MO对应的小区进行测量,该MO对应的小区是指在该MO指示的时频域位置和SCS发送SSB的小区。这样,当第一小区是该MO对应的其中一个小区时,则UE接收到该指示信息后,可根据该指示信息确定第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系。
对于该指示信息是小区特定的情况,即一个指示信息对应一个小区。例如,一个MO中包括多个小区(列出的小区)的小区标识及关联的指示信息。当第一小区是该列出的多个小区中的一个时,UE根据相应小区标识对应的指示信息获知第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系。
相比小区特定的指示方式,MO特定的指示方式能够减小信令开销。相比MO特定的指示方式,若对应同一MO的不同小区的SSB之间的QCL关系不同,小区特定的指示方式可帮助UE提高测量准确度。
另外,一个MO中还可以包括一个MO特定的指示信息以及一个或多个小区特 定的指示信息。当第一小区是该MO对应的小区,但不是列出的小区时,在没有小区特定的指示信息的情况下,则根据MO特定的指示信息进行指示。
在本实施例中,第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系可以通过第一小区的SSB中的序列指示。
例如,通过SSB中的DMRS序列指示。第一小区在发送SSB时,当两个SSB是QCL的时,则该两个SSB采用相同的DMRS序列,这两个SSB可以是同一窗或不同窗中的SSB。这样,UE通过检测SSB中的DMRS即可确定SSB之间的QCL关系。当两个SSB的DRMS序列相同时,则认为这两个SSB是QCL的。这里的SSB是UE检测到的SSB。
在本实施例中,在UE接收到第二小区发送的对应第一小区的指示信息,也接收到第一小区发送的对应第一小区的指示信息的情况下,UE根据第一小区发送的指示信息进行基于SSB的测量。
由上述实施例可知,通过根据第一小区对应的SSB之间的QCL关系、第一小区对应的SSB发送限制以及对于第一小区的SSB的检测结果中的至少一个,得到第一小区的第一测量结果,并根据该第一测量结果生成第一小区的测量信息并上报,能够有效的提高基于SSB的测量上报的准确度并降低基于SSB的测量的复杂度和功耗。

在本实施例中,向UE发送指示信息的网络设备与UE上报测量信息的网络(network)可以是对应的关系,也可以不对应,本发明实施例不对该网络设备与网络的关系进行限制。
例如,如图8所示,用户设备上报该测量信息的目标网络不一定是对应于该网络设备的网络,因此以虚线表示。
