CSI-ReportConfig 5 (the configuration information reported by the beam measurement of the non-serving cell Cell 5, its CSI report configuration ID is 5).

In addition, a cell ID can also be introduced into the CSI resource set (CSI-SSB-ResourceSet) associated with the CSI reporting configuration to distinguish which cell the measurement reference signal comes from.

A device for determining a beam measurement reporting method, characterized in that it is applied to a terminal device, including:

A processing module, configured to determine a reporting method for beam measurement reporting in response to a control message received from a network device about beam measurement reporting;

The reporting methods include at least one of the following:

Combined reporting mode, in which the terminal device sends the beam measurement results of the serving cell and the beam measurement results of the non-serving cell together to the network device based on the control message , wherein the serving cell is a cell serving the terminal device and the non-serving cell is one or more cells adjacent to the serving cell; and

A separate reporting manner, in which the terminal device sends separately at least one of the beam measurement results of the serving cell and the beam measurement results of the non-serving cell based on the control message to the network device.
A device for indicating a beam measurement reporting method, characterized in that it is applied to network equipment, including:

A communication module, configured to send a control message about beam measurement reporting to a terminal device, where the control message instructs the terminal device to determine a reporting manner for beam measurement reporting based on the control message;

The reporting methods include at least one of the following:

Combined reporting mode, in which the terminal device sends the beam measurement results of the serving cell and the beam measurement results of the non-serving cell together to the network device based on the control message , wherein the serving cell is a cell serving the terminal device and the non-serving cell is one or more cells adjacent to the serving cell; and

A separate reporting manner, in which the terminal device sends separately at least one of the beam measurement results of the serving cell and the beam measurement results of the non-serving cell based on the control message to the network device.
