Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology but is not limited to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular, to an information processing method and device, communication equipment and storage medium.

Background technique

Beam-level communication links are easily blocked, resulting in poor communication quality or even communication failure. When a downlink beam failure occurs, if the user equipment (User Equipment, UE) has a new candidate beam to replace the current failed beam, there is an opportunity to reduce Radio Link Failure (RLF) beam failure recovery process caused by beam failure.

1) Beam Failure Detection (BFD):

The detection object is the current service beam of the UE, and the detection content is the synchronous signal block-reference signal (SSB-RS) corresponding to the service beam and/or the channel state information reference signal (channel state information-Reference Signal, CSI-RS).

The measurement results within the evaluation period (T _{Evaluate_BFD} ) are compared with the threshold (Qout_LR). If all measurement results are lower than the threshold, a beam failure detection indication is triggered.

2) Before the configured beam failure detection timer times out, if the number of L1 beam failure indications reaches the configured threshold (beamFailureInstanceMaxCount), the UE declares beam failure. Beam Failure, starts Candidate Beam Detection (CBD).

3) Candidate Beam Detection:

The detection object is the candidate beam set configured by the network for the UE;

The detection content is the SSB-RS and/or CSI-RS corresponding to the candidate beam;

The basis for detection is to compare the measurement results with the configuration threshold (Qin_LR) within the evaluation period (T _{Evaluate_CBD} ). Among the candidate beams, beams with measurement results higher than the threshold can be used as available new beams.

The terminal notifies the network of the new available beam found so that the network knows that the new beam can be used for downlink transmission.

As shown in Figure 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a terminal. The method includes:

S1110: Send UAI.

In one embodiment, the UAI is used to indicate the BFD measurement relaxation state of the BFD-RS set by the terminal.

In another embodiment, the UAI indicates a BFD measurement relaxation state. The BFD measurement relaxation state may indicate the measurement relaxation state of the BFD-RS set in the cell.

For example, the UAI can be used by network equipment such as a base station to determine the measurement relaxation state of the BFD-RS set in the cell.

The terminal may be various types of terminals. For example, the terminal may be a terminal that supports multiple connections. A typical terminal supporting multiple connections may be a terminal supporting dual connections.

In some embodiments, the terminal may include multiple antenna panels, and different antenna panels may be used to communicate with different cells. Illustratively, the terminal may have two antenna panels. The two antenna panels can be oriented in different directions. For example, the two antenna panels may be oriented in opposite directions.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement relaxation state of the BFD-RS set granularity indicated by the UAI.

The UAI may be the UAI of the terminal for one serving cell or for multiple serving cells.

If the UAI is a UAI shared by multiple cells of the terminal, then multiple serving cells of the terminal will share a UAI.

If the UAI is the UAI of a cell of the terminal, and the terminal currently has M serving cells, the terminal can send the UAI to the corresponding serving cell, for example, M UAIs can be sent.

In some embodiments,

A cell can be configured with multiple BFD-RS sets (Sets). For example, a cell can be configured with two BFD-RS sets. A set contains SSB-RS and/or CSI-RS transmission resources for BFD.

For example, a terminal may have one or more serving cells. If the terminal has multiple serving cells, they may include: a primary cell, a primary and secondary cell, and/or a serving cell, etc. Assuming that the primary cell and/or secondary cell of the terminal are configured with two BFD-RS sets, the UAI sent by the terminal to network equipment such as the base station can indicate the BFD measurement relaxation state of the specific cell or BFD-RS set of the terminal.

The BFD measured relaxation state may include:

The non-relaxed state of relaxation is measured without BFD;

Conducting BFD measures the relaxed state of relaxation.

If the terminal is in the non-relaxed state, the terminal will measure the BFD-RS set according to the measurement configuration. If the terminal is in the relaxed state, the terminal will relax the measurement of the BFD-RS set relative to the measurement configuration.

If the terminal measures the BFD-RS set, the terminal is equivalent to stopping the measurement of the BFD-RS set and/or reducing the measurement frequency of the BFD-RS set, and/or reducing the number of sampling points in a single BFD-RS set measurement, etc.

In short, if the terminal is in a relaxed state compared to a non-relaxed state, the power consumption of the terminal can be saved and the standby time of the terminal can be extended.

The BFD measurement relaxation states of the terminal for different BFD-RS sets within a terminal may be the same or different, which may be determined based on the communication quality of the communication link of the beam.

The terminal will relax the measurement of the BFD-RS set only after detecting that the conditions for entering the relaxed state are met. For example, the conditions for entering the relaxed state and the conditions for exiting the relaxed state (ie, the conditions for entering the non-relaxed state) may be determined according to the relaxation mechanism of BFD.

The conditions for entering and exiting the relaxed state (i.e., the criteria) can be agreed through a protocol, and the parameters involved in the criteria are issued through measurement trigger events.

The conditions for entering and exiting the relaxed state include: low mobility criteria and/or good channel state quality criteria.

In one embodiment, the conditions for a terminal to enter and exit the relaxed state in different BFD-RS sets within a cell may be the same or different.

In some embodiments, if the measurement result of a cell in a certain BFD-RS set meets the conditions of low mobility and/or good channel state quality, the corresponding BFD-RS set is considered to meet the conditions for entering the relaxed state. In this way, there may be differences in whether the measurement results of different BFD-RS sets of the terminal in a cell satisfy the conditions of the relaxed state.

For example, the terminal is configured with BFD-RS set 1 and BFD-RS set 2 on serving cell A by the network device, and the priority of BFD-RS set 1 is higher than the priority of BFD-RS set 2, then at this time The conditions for entering the relaxed state of BFD-RS set 1 need to meet both the low mobility criterion and the good channel state quality criterion before it is determined to enter the measurement relaxation of BFD-RS set 1, which may be satisfied individually for the BFD-RS set. Based on the low mobility criterion or the criterion of good channel state quality, it can be determined to enter the BFD measurement relaxation state of BFD-RS set 2.

Of course, the above is just an example of measuring the entry and exit of the BFD-RS set into the relaxed state, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above example.

It is worth noting that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the BFD measurement relaxation state of the terminal is for the BFD-RS set rather than for the entire cell, thereby achieving more fine-grained measurement relaxation, so that in some cases If a single BFD-RS set can be transmitted, the terminal can relax the BFD-RS set and reduce unnecessary power consumption as much as possible. On the other hand, if the measurement relaxation of the BFD-RS set cannot be implemented, the corresponding BFD-RS set can still be measured according to the measurement configuration to meet the measurement requirements of the corresponding wireless environment. Therefore, flexible adjustment of measurement relaxation is achieved, taking into account the measurement needs and the user needs of extending the standby time of the terminal.

In one embodiment, the UAI includes multiple fields, and one of the fields is used to report the BFD measurement relaxation state of a BFD-RS set of a cell. In this way, if a cell has Y BFD-RS sets, the UAI includes Y fields of the cell.

In another embodiment, the UAI may correspond to a field of a cell, and a field may be used for the BFD measurement relaxation state of a BFD-RS set in the cell. In this way, the BFD measurement relaxation states of different BFD-RS sets of the cell can be reported by different UAIs respectively.

In one embodiment, the UAI includes a bitmap;

One bit in the bitmap is used to indicate the terminal's BFD measurement relaxation state for one of the BFD-RS sets.

In some embodiments, if a cell corresponds to a UAI, one UAI includes a bitmap. The bitmap may include indication bits for each BFD-RS set in the cell. For example, one BFD-RS set corresponds to one bit. The two bit values of one bit, "0" and "1", can respectively indicate a relaxed state and a non-relaxed state. Thus, assuming that a cell has S BFD-RS sets, the bitmap has S bits. UAI uses this bitmap to relax the terminal's BFD measurement of each BFD-RS set in the cell at once.

In other embodiments, if multiple cells of the terminal share a UAI, then one UAI includes bitmaps of multiple cells or one cell corresponds to one bitmap. However, similarly one BFD-RS set corresponds to one bit. The two bit values of one bit, "0" and "1", can respectively indicate a relaxed state and a non-relaxed state. Thus, assuming that a cell has S BFD-RS sets, the UAI may carry S*M bits indicating the BFD measurement relaxation state of the BFD-RS set. UAI uses this bitmap to relax the BFD measurement state of each BFD-RS set in multiple cells of the terminal at one time. M may be the number of serving cells of the terminal, or the number of serving cells reported by this UAI.

For example, in one embodiment, the bit map includes a number of bits associated with a cell equal to the number of BFD-RS sets in a cell.

If a bit in the bitmap indicates the BFD measurement relaxation state of a BFD-RS set, then the number of bits associated with a cell contained in the bitmap is equal to the number of BFD-RS sets configured for the terminal in the cell, or The set of BFD-RS configured for all terminals in this cell.

Of course, in other embodiments, the bitmap may also include redundant bits, and the redundant bits may be used for scrambling processing of the bitmap, etc.

In another embodiment, the bitmap includes bits associated with a cell that are less than the number of the BFD-RS sets in a cell, and the bits of the bitmap are used to indicate designated BFD in the cell. - BFD of RS ensemble measures relaxed state.

In some cases, the terminal does not need to report the BFD measurement relaxation status of all BFD-RS sets in the cell every time, or network equipment such as base stations do not need the terminal to report the BFD measurement relaxation status of each BFD-RS set.

In another embodiment, the terminal may only report the BFD measurement relaxation state of one BFD-RS set in the cell, and the BFD measurement relaxation state of the BFD-RS set that is not reported may be the default state or maintain the previously reported state.

In this way, the bitmap carried by the UAI can be smaller than the number of all BFD-RS sets in a cell, thereby reducing bit overhead.

In one embodiment, the designated BFD-RS set is at least one of the following:

BFD-RS set indicated by network signaling;

BFD-RS set agreed in the agreement;

The BFD-RS set reported by the terminal;

The first BFD-RS set in the cell;

The last BFD-RS set in the cell;

A BFD-RS set in the cell that is different from the BFD-RS set previously reported by the terminal.

The network signaling may be various signaling sent by network devices. Illustratively, the network signaling includes but is not limited to: Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Media Access Control (Media Access Control, MAC) control element (Control Element, CE) or downlink control information. (Downlink Control Information,DCI).

In some embodiments, the BFD-RS set specified in the protocol may include: the BFD-RS set of the terminal's primary cell, and/or the BFD-RS set of the terminal's primary and secondary cells.

For example, in some embodiments, the terminal may only pay attention to one or more BFD-RS sets in the cell or only the BFD-RS set, and the terminal may report the BFD-RS set in advance. Subsequently, the BFD-RS set reported before the terminal can be reported in the bitmap.

For example, the first BFD-RS set or the last (last) BFD-RS set in the cell.

In some embodiments, the BFD-RS set previously reported by the terminal in the cell is a BFD-RS set that is different from the BFD-RS set.

Table 1

Table 1 Table 1 shows that BFD-RS set 1 in the cell is the designated BFD-RS set. There are many processing methods for BFD-RS set 2, and the specific methods are not limited to the above examples.

In some embodiments, the UAI carries a bit sequence;

Wherein, different bit sequences are used to indicate different combinations of BFD measurement relaxation states of multiple BFD-RS sets in one cell.

In some embodiments, the UAI carries a bit sequence, which may include one or more bit values, and one bit value corresponds to a combination of BFD measurement relaxation states of multiple BFD-RS sets in a cell.

For example, different bit values of the bit sequence correspond to indications of BFD measurement relaxation state combinations of different BFD-RS sets in a cell of different terminals.

Table 2

table 3

Table 2 and Table 3 are a schematic diagram that uses 1 bit to indicate the BFD measurement relaxation state of two BFD-RS sets in a cell.

It is worth noting that the above are only specific examples. One or more elements in the above table can be used alone or in combination. Specific implementation is not limited to the above examples.

In some embodiments, the first type of bit sequence is a first sequence used to indicate that the measurements of multiple BFD-RS sets in one cell are all in a relaxed state or are all in a non-relaxed state;

or,

The first type of bit sequence is a second sequence, used to indicate that the measurement of part of the BFD-RS set in one of the cells is in a relaxed state and the measurement of part of the BFD-RS set is in a non-relaxed state.

For example,

The first type of bit sequence is a second sequence, used to indicate that the measurements of multiple BFD-RS sets in one cell are all in a relaxed state or are not in a relaxed state;

or,

The first type of bit sequence is a first sequence, used to indicate that the measurement of part of the BFD-RS set in one cell is in a relaxed state and that the measurement of part of the BFD-RS set is in a non-relaxed state.

In some embodiments, sending user assistance information UAI includes: sending the UAI when a prohibition timer expires.

The measurement of the BFD-RS has a measurement configuration, and a prohibition timer can be configured in the measurement configuration. Under normal circumstances, when the timer is prohibited from running, the terminal does not send UAI to network devices such as base stations. This reduces problems such as high signaling overhead caused by the terminal sending UAI to network devices such as base stations too frequently. That is, the UAI of the terminal is sent when the prohibition timer running on the terminal times out.

As shown in Figure 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a terminal. The method includes:

S1210: Start prohibition timer;

S1220: When the prohibition timer times out, send the UAI.

As shown in Figure 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a terminal. The method includes:

S1310: The prohibition timer expires and the BFD measurement relaxation status of at least one of the BFD-RS sets of a cell is updated, and the UAI is sent.

As shown in Figure 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a terminal. The method includes:

S1410: The prohibition timer expires and the BFD-RS set to be reported by the terminal is changed, and the UAI is sent.

In order to further reduce unnecessary UAI transmission, the terminal will not send UAI until the prohibition timer expires and the measurement relaxation status of at least one BFD-RS set is updated.

In one embodiment, the prohibition timer may be a cell-granular timer, so that the reporting of BFD measurement relaxation states of multiple BFD-RS sets in a cell share the same prohibition timer.

In another embodiment, the prohibition timer may be a timer of BFD-RS set granularity. In this way, if a cell configures X BFD-RS sets for the terminal, X prohibition timers are configured. The BFD measurement relaxation status of each BFD-RS set can be reported according to its respective prohibition timer.

For example, if one bit in the bitmap is used to indicate the BFD measurement relaxation state of a BFD-RS set in the cell, the terminal can be configured with a prohibition timer shared by multiple BFD-RS sets, or for each BFD-RS set individually. inhibit timer.

For another example, if the bitmap is used for measurement reporting of a specific BFD-RS set, and/or a bit sequence is used to indicate the BFD measurement relaxation status of multiple BFD-RS sets in a cell, a prohibition timer can be shared or a separate timer can be used. Quiet timing for each BFD-RS set.

If a prohibition timer is shared, the terminal needs to maintain fewer prohibition timers, and the network device needs to configure fewer prohibition timers.

If each BFD-RS set is configured with its own prohibition timer, the timing lengths of these prohibition timers can be the same or different.

In another embodiment, if the BFD-RS set that the terminal wants to report changes, this is also a reported update, so the terminal will also report UAI.

In one embodiment, when the prohibition timer expires and the BFD measurement relaxation status of at least one of the BFD-RS sets of a cell is updated, sending the UAI includes:

The prohibition locator is a common timer for multiple BFD-RS sets, the prohibition timer expires and the BFD measurement relaxation status of all BFD-RS sets in any cell is updated, and the UAI is sent. ;

or,

The prohibition locator is a common timer for multiple BFD-RS sets, the prohibition timer expires and the BFD measurement relaxation status of any one of the BFD-RS sets in any cell is updated, and the UAI;

or,

The prohibition locator is a common timer for multiple BFD-RS sets, the prohibition timer expires and the BFD measurement relaxation state of a specific BFD-RS set in any cell is updated, and the UAI is sent;

or,

The prohibition timer is a timer of the BFD-RS set, the prohibition timer times out and any cell has an updated BFD measurement relaxation state corresponding to the BFD-RS set, and the UAI is sent.

Switching from a non-relaxed state to a relaxed state, and switching from a relaxed state to a non-relaxed state, are BFD measurement updates to the relaxed state.

If a cell is configured with multiple BFD-RS sets, the BFD measurement relaxation status of all BFD-RS sets needs to be updated before the terminal sends UAI to network equipment such as base stations.

If a cell is configured with multiple BFD-RS sets, and there is a BFD measurement relaxation status update for one BFD-RS set, the terminal will send UAI to network equipment such as the base station.

In another embodiment, the specific BFD-RS set has a higher priority than the non-specific BFD-RS set. Only when the measurement relaxation status of the specific BFD-RS combination is updated, the terminal will send UAI to network equipment such as the base station. At this time, if the BFD measurement relaxation status of the terminal's non-specific BFD-RS set is not updated, the UAI will not be sent to network devices such as base stations.

The specific BFD-RS set may be the specified BFD-RS set reported in the aforementioned bitmap, but is not limited to the above specified BFD-RS set.

As shown in Figure 6, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which includes:

S2110: Receive UAI, where the UAI is used to indicate the terminal's BFD measurement relaxation state for the BFD-RS set or the UAI is used to indicate the terminal's BFD measurement relaxation state for a certain cell.

The information processing method can be executed by network equipment such as base stations.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, network equipment such as base stations will receive UAI.

When network equipment such as base stations receive the UAI, they will know the BFD measurement relaxation state at the BFD-RS set granularity.

The BFD measured relaxation state may include:

The non-relaxed state of relaxation is measured without BFD;

Conducting BFD measures the relaxed state of relaxation.

If the UAI is used to instruct the terminal to relax the BFD measurement status of a certain cell, then the base station and other network devices will know the BFD measurement relaxation status of some or all BFD-RS sets configured in the cell after receiving the UAI.

The BFD measurement relaxation state of some or all BFD-RS sets may include at least one of the following:

Some BFD-RS sets in a cell enter a non-relaxed state without measurement relaxation;

Part of the BFD-RS set in a cell enters the relaxation state for measurement relaxation.

All BFD-RS sets in a cell enter a non-relaxed state without measurement relaxation;

All BFD-RS sets in a cell enter a relaxation state for measurement relaxation.

For example, a terminal may have one or more serving cells. If the terminal has multiple serving cells, they may include: a primary cell, a primary and secondary cell, and/or a serving cell, etc. Assuming that both the primary cell and/or the secondary cell of the terminal are configured with two BFD-RS sets, the UAI sent by the terminal to network equipment such as the base station can indicate the BFD measurement relaxation state of the specific cell or BFD-RS set of the terminal.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the BFD measurement relaxation state of the terminal is for the BFD-RS set, rather than for the entire cell, thereby achieving more fine-grained measurement relaxation, so that in some cases, a single BFD can be achieved When the -RS set is sent, the terminal can enter into relaxing the BFD-RS set to reduce unnecessary power consumption as much as possible. On the other hand, if the measurement relaxation of the BFD-RS set cannot be implemented, the corresponding BFD-RS set can still be measured according to the measurement configuration to meet the measurement requirements of the corresponding wireless environment. Therefore, flexible adjustment of measurement relaxation is achieved, taking into account the measurement needs and the user needs of extending the standby time of the terminal.

In some embodiments, the UAI includes a bitmap, in which case one bit in the bitmap is associated with a BFD-RS set of a cell.

As an embodiment, the UAI includes a bitmap of 32 bits, in which the first bit corresponds to the primary cell, the second bit corresponds to the secondary cell 1, the third bit corresponds to the secondary cell 2, and so on. For terminal reporting, the corresponding bit value will be set to represent the BFD measurement relaxation state on the corresponding cell. If the secondary cell corresponding to a bit is not configured, the terminal always sets the value of this bit to 0.

Wherein, if one of the BFD-RS sets is configured in the cell, then one bit in the bitmap associated with a cell is used to indicate the terminal's BFD measurement relaxation state for one of the BFD-RS sets. .

In some embodiments, for a cell, if multiple BFD-RS sets are configured, the bits in the UAI associated with a certain cell can be expanded into multiple bits, and the bits are associated with the entire cell. Bitmap of bits. The bitmap may include indication bits for each BFD-RS set in the cell. For example, one BFD-RS set corresponds to one bit. The two bit values of one bit, "0" and "1", can respectively indicate a relaxed state and a non-relaxed state. Thus, assuming that a cell has S BFD-RS sets, the bitmap has S bits. UAI uses this bitmap to relax the terminal's BFD measurement of each BFD-RS set in the cell at once.

In one embodiment, the bits associated with a certain cell in the UAI are expanded, so that a bitmap including multiple bits associated with one cell is obtained. This bitmap may be included in different UAI messages and reported. For example, the bits associated with a certain cell in the UAI are expanded into multiple bits, and the first bit is used to indicate the relaxed state and non-relaxed state of the first BFD-RS set.

In one embodiment, the BFD measurement relaxation status of the BFD-RS sets of different BFD-RS sets in a cell can be reported by the terminal to network equipment such as the base station through UAI at different times. For example, cell A has two BFD-RS sets, and the terminal can use two UAIs to report the BFD measurement relaxation status of the two BFD-RS sets respectively.

For example, in one embodiment, the number of bits contained in the bitmap associated with a certain cell in the UAI is equal to the number of the BFD-RS sets in a cell.

or,

As shown in Figure 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which includes:

S2120: When the prohibition timer times out, receive UAI; wherein the UAI is used to indicate the terminal's BFD measurement relaxation state for the BFD-RS set.

If the base station configures measurement configuration for the terminal, the measurement configuration may include the configuration of the prohibition timer. In this way, the base station may also receive the UAI sent by the terminal when the prohibition timer expires based on the duration of the prohibition timer specified in the measurement configuration.

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an implementation method for a terminal to report UAI auxiliary information in an mTP scenario.

As an embodiment, the UAI is used by the terminal to report the BFD measurement relaxation state of the BFD-RS set

As an embodiment, the UAI is used to instruct the terminal to relax the BFD measurement state of a certain cell, and after receiving the UAI, network equipment such as the base station will know the BFD of some or all BFD-RS sets configured in the cell. Measure relaxation state. That is, the UAI can indicate the BFD measurement relaxation state of a cell's BFD-RS set granularity.

There are multiple ways for the terminal to report the BFD measurement relaxation status of the BFD-RS set through UAI:

Method 1: The terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation status indication for BFD of each BFD-RS set.

As an embodiment: the extended BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit is used to report UAI auxiliary information reported by the terminal in the mTP scenario. For example, the bits included in the BFD measurement relaxation state indication in the related technology are extended.

As an example: a new BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit is added to instruct the terminal to report UAI auxiliary information in the mTP scenario.

As an example: the original BFD measurement relaxation state (bfd-MeasRelaxationState) indication bit reports the BFDBFD measurement relaxation state of the first BFD-RS set in each serving cell.

As an embodiment: the newly added indication bit of bfd-MeasRelaxationState1 reports the BFD measurement relaxation state of the second BFD-RS set in each serving cell.

As an embodiment: for each BFD-RS set, the BFD measurement relaxation status reporting sending report starts different prohibition timer limit reporting respectively.

As an example: for a certain BFD-RS set, if the result of any serving cell is different from the previous report, the terminal is triggered to report UAI and the prohibition timer is started;

As an example: reporting can only be continued after the timer times out. The terminal can report bfd-MeasRelaxationState and/or bfd-MeasRelaxationState1 through UAI.

As an example: after the timer times out, the relaxation states of two BFD-RS sets are simultaneously triggered to continue reporting, and the terminal can report bfd-MeasRelaxationState and bfd-MeasRelaxationState1 through UAI at once.

As an embodiment: for multiple BFD-RS sets in a cell, the timing lengths of the prohibition timers may be the same or different.

As an example: the network can configure a prohibition timer for each BFD-RS set;

As an embodiment: for each BFD-RS set, the same prohibition timer is started to limit the reporting of BFD measurement transmission reports. The purpose of this is to configure only one public inhibit timer.

As an example: If the same prohibition timer is started to limit the reporting of BFD measurement transmission reports for each BFD-RS set, then for any BFD-RS set, if the BFD measurement of a BFD-RS set of any serving cell If the relaxed state is different from the previous report, the terminal is triggered to report UAI and the prohibition timer is started;

As an example: if the same prohibition timer is started to limit the reporting of BFD measurement transmission reports for each BFD-RS set, then if the BFD measurement relaxation state of the reported BFD-RS set is changed. For example, what was previously reported was the BFD measurement relaxation status for the first BFD-RS set, and now I want to report the BFD measurement relaxation status for the second BFD-RS set; it will also trigger the terminal to report UAI; it will be started after completing a UAI report. Corresponding prohibition timer.

As an example: after a UAI report is completed, the terminal will start the prohibition timer; after the timer expires, it can continue to report and can report bfd-MeasRelaxationState and/or bfd-MeasRelaxationState1. bfd-MeasRelaxationState and bfd-MeasRelaxationState1 report the BFD measurement relaxation states of different BFD-RS sets.

As an embodiment: the network device indicates that the BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit is used to feed back the BFD measurement relaxation status of which BFD-RS set. At this time, the terminal will only report the BFDBFD measurement relaxation status of the specified BFD-RS set in the serving cell according to the network instructions.

The advantage of this is that the existing BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit does not need to be expanded, so the measurement relaxation status information of a specified BFD-RS set can be reported.

As an example: For the BFD measurement relaxation state of the specified BFD-RS set, if the result of any serving cell is different from the previous report, the terminal is triggered to report UAI.

As an example: if the network device does not indicate that the existing BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit is used to feedback the BFD-RS set's BFDBFD measurement relaxation status; then the feedback is in accordance with the protocol agreement, for example, both the network and the terminal follow the first BFD -RS collection for understanding.

As an embodiment, the network device may notify the terminal in the UAI reporting configuration (OtherConfig) that the BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit is used to feed back the BFD measurement relaxation status of which BFD-RS set. The BFD measurement relaxation state indication bit here is the bit indicating the BFD measurement relaxation state.

As an example: For the BFD measurement relaxation state of a certain BFD-RS set specified by the network, if the result of any serving cell is different from the previous report, the terminal is triggered to report UAI and the prohibition timer is started.

Another method is that the specified BFD-RS set adopts terminal specification instead of network specification.

As an embodiment, when reporting the BFD measurement relaxation status indication, the terminal informs the network that the reported BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit is used to feed back the BFD measurement relaxation status of which BFD-RS set.

The advantage of this is that the existing BFD measurement relaxation status indication bit does not need to be expanded, so the measurement relaxation status information of a terminal-specified BFD-RS set can be reported.

As an embodiment: For the BFD measurement relaxation state of a certain BFD-RS set, if the result of any serving cell is different from the previous report, the terminal is triggered to report UAI.

As an example: there is a change in the BFD measurement relaxation status of the reported BFD-RS set. For example, the BFDBFD measurement relaxation status for the first BFD-RS set was reported before, and now I want to report the second BFD-RS set. BFDBFD measures the relaxed state; it triggers the terminal to report UAI.

Way 2:

The terminal sends and reports BFD measurements for each cell in a BFD-RS measurement relaxation state taking into account multiple BFD-RS sets.

As an embodiment, the UAI is used to instruct the terminal to relax the BFD measurement of a certain cell, and when the base station and other network equipment receive the UAI, they will know the BFD measurement relaxation of part of the BFD-RS set configured in the cell. state. The advantage of this is that fewer bits are used to indicate the BFD measurement relaxation state of multiple BFD-RS set granularities in a cell, which reduces bit overhead.

As an example: for a serving cell; if the BFDBFD measurement relaxation state of any BFD-RS set is relaxed, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 1.

As an example: for a serving cell; if the BFD measurement relaxation status of two BFD-RS sets is relaxed, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation status indication, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 1.

As an example: for a serving cell; if the BFD measurement relaxation state of any BFD-RS set is not relaxed, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 0.

As an example: for a serving cell; if the BFD measurement relaxation status of two BFD-RS sets is not relaxed, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation status indication, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 0.

The above embodiments can be combined:

As an example: for a serving cell; if the BFDBFD measurement relaxation state of any BFD-RS set is the relaxed state, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication bit, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 1. If the BFD measurement relaxation state of the two BFD-RS sets is the non-relaxation state, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication bit, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 0.

As an example: for a serving cell; if the BFD measurement relaxation state of two BFD-RS sets is the relaxed state, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication bit, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 1. If the BFD measurement relaxation state of any BFD-RS set is the non-relaxation state, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication bit, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 0.

As an example: for a serving cell; if the BFD measurement relaxation state of two BFD-RS sets is the relaxed state, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication bit, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 1. If the BFD measurement relaxation state of any BFD-RS set is the relaxed state, when the terminal reports the BFD measurement relaxation state indication bit, the relevant indication position for the serving cell is 0.

As an embodiment: for the first report after configuration, the terminal is triggered to report UAI.

As an example: if the reporting result of any serving cell is different from the previous report, the terminal is triggered to report the UAI, and after the UAI reporting is completed, the prohibition timer is started.
