Description

A measuring method and device Technical field

This application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a measurement method and device.

Background technique

In order to overcome the problem of high-frequency millimeter wave path loss, network equipment and terminal equipment can use array technology to form high-gain directional beams for communication, which can increase antenna gain and compensate for path loss. Before using directional beams for communication, beam training is required between network equipment and terminal equipment. The purpose of beam training is to find one or more suitable transceiver beam pairs among a variety of possible transceiver beam combinations.

Taking the following traveling beam training as an example, in the current new radio (NR) system, downlink beam training is implemented by sending a reference signal through a network device, and the terminal device measures and/or feedbacks the reference signal sent by the network device. Before performing beam training, the network device needs to send configuration information of the reference signal to the terminal device. The configuration information of the reference signal includes the resource setting of the reference signal, which involves the time, frequency, power, port and other information of the network device sending the reference signal, ensuring that the terminal device can correctly receive the reference signal according to the configuration information of the reference signal. measuring.

Due to the large number of transmission beams of network equipment, it is stipulated in the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) R15 that network equipment can be configured with a maximum of 64 reference signal resources in a reference signal resource set, and a total of up to 64 reference signal resources can be configured. 128 reference signal resources. On the other hand, considering that the capabilities of different terminal devices are different, the protocol provides a mechanism for reporting the capabilities of terminal devices. When a terminal device is connected to the network, it can report its capabilities to the network device.

Generally speaking, network equipment needs to perform beam training-related configurations according to the capabilities reported by the terminal equipment. For example, if a terminal device reports that it can only support a maximum of 8 reference signal resources, then the reference signal resource set configured by the network device for beam training can also only include a maximum of 8 reference signal resources. In reality, the number of transmission beams of a network device is much greater than 8, such as 64, which causes the network device to continuously send radio resource control (RRC) signaling to the terminal device to update the reference signal resource for beam training Collectively, this will bring a lot of system signaling overhead and time delay. For example, it takes 10-100 ms for the terminal device to receive the RRC signaling and apply the reference signal resource set configured in the RRC signaling.

To sum up, because the number of reference signal resources supported by the terminal device does not match the number of reference signal resources included in the reference signal resource set configured by the network device for beam training, the signaling overhead and the number of resources in the beam training process are caused. The problem of time delay.

From a signaling perspective, the network device configures at least one reference signal resource set in the signaling. The at least one reference signal resource set includes the N reference signal resources.

2. The number of resource periods Y for measuring the N reference signal resources, Y is less than an integer of N/M; M is the number of reference signal resources measured by the terminal device in each resource period;

3. Part of the measurement indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to measure part of the reference signal resources among the N reference signal resources;

4. The offset value corresponding to at least one resource period, for the first resource period in at least one resource period, the offset value corresponding to the first resource period refers to the measurement by the terminal device in the first resource period and the second resource period The difference between the resource numbers of two reference signal resources in the same order, the first resource period is the resource period for the terminal device to measure the reference signal resource currently; the second resource period is before the first resource period, And the resource period adjacent to the first resource period or the second resource period is a preset resource period.

Wherein, the offset value corresponding to each resource period may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present application does not place an order for this.

It should be noted that the terminal device measures the M reference signal resources in sequence in each resource period, and the i-th reference signal resource measured by the terminal device in the first resource period is the same as that measured by the terminal device in the second resource period. The measurement sequence of the i-th reference signal resource is the same. For example, if the value of the offset value α corresponding to the first resource period is 5, when the number of the second reference signal resource measured by the terminal device in the second resource period is 10, the terminal device is in the first resource period The number of the measured second reference signal resource is 5.

It should be noted that when the offset value corresponding to each resource period may be an agreed value or a value determined by the terminal device, the network device may no longer indicate the offset value corresponding to the at least one resource period through the resource configuration information . Alternatively, when the offset value corresponding to the at least one resource period is a value determined by the terminal device, for the first resource period, the network device may re-determine the first resource according to the offset value corresponding to the first resource period reported by the terminal device The offset value corresponding to the period is indicated by the resource configuration information.

It should be noted that when the offset value corresponding to the at least one resource period is determined by the network device, the network device may determine the offset value corresponding to one resource period at a time for the terminal device to measure the reference signal resource in the current resource period. It is also possible to determine the offset values corresponding to multiple resource periods at one time, and the specific number is not limited.

5. The reporting period of the terminal device; each time the terminal device measures the reference signal resource, the measurement result can be obtained. The network device can instruct the terminal device to report the reporting period of the measurement result. The reporting period of the terminal device can be the same as the resource period or different This is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Among them, when the report period of the terminal device is the same as the resource period, the terminal device reports the measurement result of one measurement in each resource period. When the report period and resource period of the terminal device are not the same, there may be many situations. For example, the report period of the terminal device can be equal to Y resource periods. In this case, the terminal device can determine the Y optimal signals according to the Y resource periods. The measurement information determines the optimal beam. For details on how to determine the optimal beam, please refer to the following description.

It should be noted that the above is only an example, and the resource configuration information may also indicate other configuration information of the reference signal resource, which will not be illustrated one by one here.

After receiving the resource configuration information, the terminal device can determine the number of reference signal resources configured by the network device, the resource period, and other information according to the resource configuration information, so that the reference signal resources can be accurately measured.

Further, in this embodiment of the present application, the reported amount configuration information may be used to instruct the terminal device to report one or more of the following:

1. The reference signal resource number corresponding to the optimal signal measurement information determined according to the M reference signal resources measured in each resource period, and the optimal signal measurement information.

It should be noted that in this embodiment of the application, the signal measurement information includes but is not limited to any of the following: layer 1 reference signal received power (layer 1 reference signal received power, L1-RSRP), layer 1 received reference signal quality (layer 1 reference signal received power, L1-RSRP), but not limited to any of the following items. 1 Reference signal received quality, L1-RSRQ), received signal strength indication (RSSI), signal noise ratio (signal noise ratio, SNR), and signal to interference plus noise ratio (signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR) )Wait.

2. The offset value corresponding to at least one resource period; it should be noted that when the offset value corresponding to the at least one resource period is an agreed value or a value determined by a network device, there is no need to instruct the terminal device to report The offset value corresponding to the at least one resource period.

3. The number of cycles Y for the terminal equipment to measure the reference signal resource.

It should be noted that when the number of cycles is an agreed value or a value determined for a network device, there is no need to instruct the terminal device to report the number of cycles.

It should be noted that the above is only an example, and the reported amount configuration information may also indicate other content that the terminal device needs to report, which will not be described one by one here.

After step 201 and step 202 are completed, a beam training process can be performed between the network device and the terminal device. For details, refer to step 203 to step 205.

Step 203: In the first resource period, the network device sends a reference signal through each of the N reference signal resources.

It should be noted that in each resource period, the network device may send N reference signals through N reference signal resources. Here, only the first resource period is used as an example for illustration. In other resource periods, the content executed by the network device may be the same as the first resource period, and will not be repeated.

Among them, the network device can use beams in different directions in each reference signal resource to send reference signals, or in some reference signal resources, beams in the same direction can be used to send reference signals, and beams in different directions in some reference signal resources can be used to send reference signals. Signal, this embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

Regarding the specific implementation of the reference signal, the embodiment of the present application is not limited. For example, the reference signal may be a CSI-RS or the like. Regarding how the network device specifically transmits the reference signal in the reference signal resource, the embodiment of the present application is not limited, and the description in the prior art can be referred to.

It should be noted that in each resource period, the N reference signal resources used by the network device to send the reference signal may have the same frequency domain information, that is, in the same carrier component (CC) or the same bandwidth part (bandwidth part, BWP), etc. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in the same carrier, the network device transmits N reference signals through N reference signal resources in each resource period. FIG. 3 only takes a total of three resource periods from resource period 1 to resource period 3 as an example for illustration, and other situations are not described again.

In the embodiment of the present application, in any two resource periods, two reference signal resources with the same relative position have the same resource number. For example, in FIG. 3, the resource numbers of the N reference signal resources in resource period 1 are respectively 0 to N-1; the resource numbers of the N reference signal resources in resource period 2 are also 0 to N-1, respectively. That is, the resource number of the first reference signal resource in resource period 1 is 0, and the resource number of the first reference signal resource in resource period 2 is also 0, and so on.

Step 204: When the maximum number of reference signal resources supported by the terminal device is M, measure M reference signal resources among the N reference signal resources in the first resource period to obtain M signal measurement information.

Among them, N is an integer greater than 1, and M is an integer less than N. Each of the N reference signal resources includes a reference signal sent by a network device. The terminal device may determine N reference signal resources according to the instructions of the network device, such as the resource configuration information in step 202.

It should be noted that the maximum number of reference signal resources supported by the terminal device is M, which may mean that the maximum number of reference signal resources that the terminal device can measure in each resource period is M, or the reference signal that can calculate the channel state information The maximum number of signal resources is M, or the maximum number of measurement results of reference signal resources that can be stored is M, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the measurement of the reference signal resource by the terminal device may refer to the measurement of the reference signal in the reference signal resource, and how to perform the measurement is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For details, please refer to the description in the prior art. , I won’t repeat it here.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the number N of reference signal resources configured by the network device is greater than the maximum number of reference signal resources that the terminal device can measure in a resource period, the terminal device can determine the M signals that need to be measured in various ways Reference signal resources.

In the first possible implementation manner, in the first resource period, the terminal device measures M reference signal resources whose resource numbers are K+α to K+(M-1)+α among the N reference signal resources; where, K is the resource number of the starting reference signal resource among the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device in the second resource period, α is the offset value corresponding to the first resource period, and α is an integer. Wherein, the second resource period is a resource period before and adjacent to the first resource period, or the second resource period is a preset resource period, or the second resource period is the first resource period Any previous resource period.

For example, α is equal to 5. In the second resource period, the resource numbers of the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device are respectively 0 to M-1; then in the first resource period, the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device The resource numbers of the signal resources are 5 to M-1+5, respectively. For other resource periods, the M reference signal resources that need to be measured can be determined according to the offset value corresponding to the resource period, which is not repeated here.

It should be noted that, as mentioned above, α can be a value configured by a network device or a value determined by a terminal device. Of course, α can also be a value agreed between the network device and the terminal device.

When α is a value determined by the terminal device, the terminal device can randomly determine a value as α. By randomly determining a value as α, it can be guaranteed that the terminal device can measure the reference signal resource with the best signal quality among the N reference signal resources with the greatest probability.

The terminal device may also determine the value of α in other ways. For example, the terminal device may use historical information to determine α, for example, the reference corresponding to the downlink physical channel or signal receiving beam (referred to as the serving beam) currently used or last used by the terminal device The signal resource number, or the reference signal resource number corresponding to the uplink physical channel or signal transmission beam (referred to as the service beam for short) currently used or last used by the terminal device, is used as a reference for the initial measurement of α. Specifically, if the serving beam of the terminal device is the beam corresponding to the reference signal with the reference signal resource number 10, then in the first resource period, α=10, and the terminal device measurement reference signal resource number is 10 to 9+M. Reference signal resources. In addition, if the service beam of the j-th resource period and the previous resource period changes, the terminal device can use this changed value as a reference for α. Specifically, if the serving beam of the j-th resource period of the terminal device is the beam corresponding to the reference signal resource numbered 10, and the serving beam of the previous resource period is the reference signal resource numbered 15 Corresponding beam, then the terminal device can determine α=5.

Optionally, the terminal device may also use channel information to determine α. For example, the terminal device uses the channel estimation result to determine the strongest first Y paths of communication with the network device as a reference for α. Specifically, the reference signal resource number corresponding to the strongest path is taken as the α of the first resource period, and the difference between the resource number corresponding to the strongest path and the reference signal resource number corresponding to the second strong path is taken as the second resource period. α. The difference between the number of the reference signal resource corresponding to the strongest path of the j-th resource period and the number of the reference signal resource corresponding to the strongest path of the previous resource period is taken as α of the j-th resource period.

Optionally, the terminal device may determine α by using the positioning information. For example, the terminal device uses the deviation between the relative position of the network device and the relative position of the previous resource period as a reference for α.

Optionally, the terminal device may use sensor information to determine α. For example, the terminal uses a gyroscope to determine the deviation between its own posture and its own posture in the previous resource period as a reference for α.

Optionally, the terminal device may use the correlation between beams to determine α, for example, the correlation between the beam corresponding to the reference signal resource number of the j-th resource period and the beam corresponding to the reference signal resource number of the previous resource period Largest or smallest.

It should be noted that when the offset value corresponding to each resource period is determined by the terminal device, the terminal device may determine the offset value corresponding to one resource period at a time, which is used to measure the reference signal resource in the current resource period, or it may determine more than one at a time. The specific number of offset values corresponding to each resource period is not limited.

In the first possible implementation manner, the terminal device may measure reference signal resources with the same resource number in different measurement periods. For example, when M is equal to 8 and α is equal to 6, in the first resource period, the terminal equipment measurement resource numbers are 8 reference signal resources from 0 to 7, respectively; in the second resource period, the terminal equipment measurement resource numbers are respectively 8 reference signal resources from 6 to 13. In these two resource periods, the terminal equipment measures the reference signal resources with resource numbers 6 and 7, respectively.

In the first possible implementation manner, the network device can instruct the terminal device to perform measurement in Y resource periods, thereby limiting the maximum time for the terminal device to measure the reference signal resource, reducing the time spent in beam training, and improving the efficiency of beam training. effectiveness.

As mentioned earlier, Y can be an integer less than N/M. For example, if N is equal to 64, M is equal to 8. If the number of the reference signal resource measured by the terminal device in each resource period is different, it needs to be measured at least 8 times to measure all 64 reference signal resources once, which causes this measurement method to take a long time. Taking into account the mobility of the terminal equipment, the time-consuming is too long and it is easy to cause problems such as channel aging and out-of-date measurement results. That is to say, even if the full set of measurements is taken, the selected beam is not necessarily the best. Excellent. In the embodiment of the present application, the network device may instruct the terminal to only measure Y=4 times, thereby reducing the time required for measurement and improving efficiency.

In the second possible implementation manner, in a resource period, the terminal device sequentially measures N reference signal resources in a fixed order.

In this case, the start reference signal resource of the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device in each resource period is adjacent to the end reference signal resource of the M reference signal resources measured in the previous resource period.

For example, in the first resource period, the resource numbers of the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device are respectively 0 to M-1; in the second resource period, the resource numbers of the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device are The resource numbers are respectively M to 2M-1; in the third resource period, the resource numbers of the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device are respectively 2M to 3M-1. Other resource cycles can be deduced by analogy, so I won’t repeat them.

The second possible implementation can be regarded as the case where α is equal to M in the first possible implementation.

In the third possible implementation manner, the terminal device can randomly select M reference signal resources from the N reference signal resources for measurement.

Optionally, in each resource period, the M reference signal resources randomly selected by the terminal device are different, that is, in any two resource periods, such as the first resource period and the second resource period, the terminal device is in the first resource period The resource numbers of the M reference signal resources selected in, are different from the resource numbers of the M reference signal resources selected by the terminal device in the second resource period.

For example, M is equal to 4. The terminal device selects reference signal resources with resource numbers 1 and 3 for measurement in the first resource period; the terminal device selects reference signal resources with resource numbers 6 and 8 for measurement in the second resource period; the terminal device performs measurement on the third resource The reference signal resources with resource numbers 5 and 7 are selected in the cycle for measurement and so on.

Optionally, in each resource period, the M reference signal resources randomly selected by the terminal device may be partially the same, and details are not described herein again.

Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device may be continuous reference signal resources or discontinuous reference signal resources, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment of the present application, step 204 may be performed multiple times. For example, the network device instructs the terminal device to perform measurement in Y resource periods through resource configuration information, and the terminal device needs to perform step 204 Y times.

Further, in the Y resource periods, the receiving beam used by the terminal device when measuring the reference signal resource remains unchanged. It should be noted that the network device may instruct the terminal device to keep the receiving beam unchanged, or it may be agreed that the terminal device keeps the receiving beam unchanged, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 205: The terminal device sends the first information to the network device.

Wherein, the first information is used to indicate M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device.

The terminal device may also send other information to the network device, for example, sending the second information and the third information to the network device. The second information is used to indicate the reference signal resource corresponding to the optimal signal measurement information in the M signal measurement information; the third information is used to indicate the M signal measurement information measured by the terminal device in the resource period Optimal signal measurement information.

The first information, the second information, and the third information may be sent to the network device through the same message, or may be sent to the network device through different messages, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In a possible implementation manner, the optimal signal measurement information among the M signal measurement information may refer to the signal measurement information with the best signal quality indicated by the M signal measurement information. For example, the signal measurement information is L1-RSRP. The larger the L1-RSRP, the better the signal quality. The terminal device can use the largest L1-RSRP as the optimal L1-RSRP among the M L1-RSRPs measured. That is, as the optimal signal measurement information.

In another possible implementation manner, the optimal signal measurement information of the M signal measurement information may refer to any signal measurement information of the M signal measurement information that is greater than a preset threshold. For example, the signal measurement information is L1-RSRP, and the terminal device can use any L1-RSRP that is greater than the preset threshold among the measured M L1-RSRPs as the optimal L1-RSRP, that is, as the optimal signal Measurement information.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a possible implementation manner, when the reporting period of the terminal device is the same as the resource period, the terminal device may send the first information and the second information obtained by measurement to the network device in each resource period.

In another possible implementation manner, when the reporting period of the terminal device is different from the resource period, the terminal device may report multiple pieces of first information and multiple pieces of second information obtained by multiple resource period measurements to the network device each time.

For example, the report period of the terminal device is Y resource periods. After the terminal device measures the reference signal resources in the Y resource periods, it can obtain Y pieces of first information, Y pieces of second information, and Y pieces of third information. , The terminal device can simultaneously report Y pieces of first information, Y pieces of second information, and Y pieces of third information to the network device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may indicate the M reference signal resources measured by the terminal device in one resource period in a variety of ways.

In the first possible implementation manner, the terminal device may send the measured resource numbers of the M reference signal resources to the network device.

In a possible implementation manner, the first information may be M resource numbers, which may directly indicate M reference signal resources.

In another possible implementation manner, the first information includes N bits, and each bit uniquely corresponds to N reference signal resources. For any reference signal resource among the N reference signal resources, when the terminal device measures the reference signal resource, the value of the bit corresponding to the reference signal resource is 1; when the terminal device does not measure the reference signal resource, the The value of the bit corresponding to the reference signal resource is 0. Of course, the reverse is also possible. When the terminal device measures the reference signal resource, the value of the bit corresponding to the reference signal resource is 0; when the terminal device does not measure the reference signal resource, the value of the bit corresponding to the reference signal resource is 0. The value is 1.

The above is just an example, in this case, there may be other implementation manners for the first information, which will not be repeated here.

In the second possible implementation manner, the terminal device may send the difference α between the resource numbers of two reference signal resources with the same measurement sequence in two adjacent resource periods to the network device, and the network device may determine according to α M reference signal resources measured by the terminal equipment.

In this implementation manner, the first information may be α, thereby indirectly indicating M reference signal resources.

In this implementation manner, there may be multiple implementation manners for the first information.

Manner 1: The first information includes

Bits or

Bits, the first information includes

Bits or

The value corresponding to each bit is the α;

To round down,

Is rounded up.

For example, if the value of N is 8, then the first information includes 3 bits. When α is a different value, the first information can be as shown in Table 1.

Table 1

First message	the value of α
000	0
001	1

010	2
011	3
100	4
101	5
110	6
111	7

It should be noted that Table 1 is only an example, and other situations can be referred to the description here, which will not be repeated here.

Manner 2: The first information includes L bits, and the product of the value corresponding to the L bits included in the first information and the preset weight value is the α; the preset weight value is an integer greater than 0 , And the preset weight value has a corresponding relationship with N and L.

For example, the preset weight value and N and L may satisfy the following correspondence:

X is the preset weight value.

Further, in combination with the above example, when L is equal to 3, when N is a different value, the preset weight value may be as shown in Table 2.

Table 2

Default weight value	The value of N
1	0-8
2	9-16
3	17-24
4	25-32
5	33-40
6	41-48
7	49-56
8	57-64

With reference to Table 2, the corresponding relationship between the values of the L bits included in the first information and α may be as shown in Table 3.

table 3

First message	the value of α
000	0
001	X
010	2X
011	3X
100	4X
101	5X
110	6X
111	7X

Combining Table 2 and Table 3, when the value of N is 8 and the first information is 010, it means that the value of α is 2×1=2.

When the value of N is 15 and the first information is 010, it means that the value of α is 2×2=4.

When the value of N is 24 and the first information is 010, it means that the value of α is 2×3=6. Other situations can be deduced by analogy and will not be repeated here.

In a third possible implementation manner, the first indication information may be P offset values, and P is an integer greater than 2 and less than or equal to M. Each of the P offset values indicates the difference between the resource numbers of the two reference signal resources with the same measurement sequence in the two adjacent resource periods.

For example, the value of M is 4, and P is equal to M. The terminal device selects reference signal resources with resource numbers 1, 3, 4, and 7 for measurement in the first resource period; the terminal device selects reference signal resources with resource numbers 6, 8, 12, and 14 for measurement in the second resource period measuring. Then, the 4 offset values reported by the terminal device in the second resource period may be 5=6-1, 5=8-3, 8=12-4, and 7=14-7, respectively. Other situations can be deduced by analogy, so I won't repeat them here.

Step 206: The network device receives the first information from the terminal device, and determines the M reference signal resources according to the first information.

The network device may also receive information such as the second information and the third information from the terminal device.

In a possible implementation manner, when the reporting period of the terminal device is the same as the resource period, the terminal device sends the first information, second information, and third information obtained by measurement to the network device in each resource period.

When the number of periods in which the terminal device measures the reference signal resource is Y, the terminal device can send a first message, a second message, and a third message to the network device in each resource period of the Y resource periods, sending a total of Y Pieces of first information, Y pieces of second information, and Y pieces of third information.

In another possible implementation, when the reporting period of the terminal device is different from the resource period, the terminal device can report multiple first information, multiple second information, and multiple resource period measurements to the network device each time. A third message.

For example, the report period of the terminal device is Y resource periods. After the terminal device measures the reference signal resources in the Y resource periods, it can obtain Y pieces of first information, Y pieces of second information, and Y pieces of third information. , The terminal device can simultaneously report the Y first messages, Y second messages, and Y third messages to the network device.

After the network device obtains the Y pieces of first information, Y pieces of second information, and Y pieces of third information measured by the terminal device in Y resource periods, it can determine that the terminal device is in each of the Y resource periods according to the Y pieces of first information. Which reference signal resources are measured. The network device may determine the Y reference signal resources with optimal signal measurement information among the N reference signal resources according to the Y second information.

When the network device selects one signal measurement information from the Y signal measurement information indicated by the Y third information as the global optimal signal measurement information, and sends the reference signal in the reference signal resource corresponding to the global optimal signal measurement information The beam direction used is the optimal beam direction.

How the network device specifically determines the globally optimal signal measurement information is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, in a possible implementation manner, the network device uses the signal measurement information with the best signal quality among the Y signal measurement information indicated by the Y third information as the globally optimal signal measurement information. For example, the signal measurement information is L1-RSRP, and the larger the L1-RSRP, the better the signal quality. The Y pieces of third information obtained by the network device indicate Y pieces of L1-RSRP. The network device can use the largest L1-RSRP among the Y L1-RSRPs as the global optimal L1-RSRP.

In another possible implementation manner, the network device may use any signal measurement information greater than a preset threshold among the Y signal measurement information indicated by the Y third information as the globally optimal signal measurement information. For example, the signal measurement information is L1-RSRP, and the network device can use any L1-RSRP greater than a preset threshold among Y L1-RSRPs as the global optimal L1-RSRP.

After the beam training process is completed, the network device can use the optimal beam direction to send downlink data to the terminal device.

Through the process described above, it can be seen that when the number of reference signal resources configured by the network equipment is greater than the maximum number of reference signal resources supported by the terminal equipment, the network equipment does not need to reconfigure the reference signal resources for the terminal equipment through signaling, and the terminal equipment It can only measure part of the reference signal resources configured by the network equipment, thereby reducing the signaling overhead and the measurement burden of the terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment can obtain signal measurements after multiple resource periods of measurement under the condition of limited capabilities. Reference signal resource with the best information.

It should be noted that when the reference signal resources configured by the network device are distributed on a two-dimensional coordinate plane, the embodiments of this application are still applicable. In this case, the α indicated by the first information can be replaced by a two-dimensional coordinate value, and other content can be used. Applicable, so I won’t repeat them here. Wherein, the reference signal resources configured by the network device are distributed on a two-dimensional coordinate plane, which can be referred to as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, 32 reference signal resources of the network device are taken as an example for description. Suppose that the terminal device measures M (assuming M=5) reference signal resources centered on number 9 in the first resource period, for example, 5 reference signal resources numbered {1,8,9,10,17}, the first Two resource periods measure M reference signal resources centered on 13, for example, 5 reference signal resources numbered {5,12,13,14,21}.

The two-dimensional coordinate value means that (x, y) = (2, 3) represents the offset value corresponding to the first resource period, and (x, y) = (6, 3) represents the offset value corresponding to the second resource period value. The offset value here is the offset relative to the origin (x, y) = (0, 0). Or (dx,dy)=(4,0) represents the offset of the second resource period relative to the first resource period.
