Definitions
- the present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a measurement reporting triggering method, a terminal, and a network-side device.
- network-side equipment configures terminals to perform event-triggered measurement reporting. If a terminal fails to report measurement results before reporting conditions are met, the network-side equipment may not be able to obtain the terminal's measurement results, which is detrimental to network-side equipment decision-making and terminal energy conservation. For example, if a terminal fails to report measurement results before a secondary cell (Scell) is activated, the conditions for transitioning to the Scell known state cannot be met. Consequently, the Scell cannot be quickly activated, resulting in increased latency during the Scell activation process and increased energy consumption for both the network-side equipment and the terminal.

- the terminal can determine whether to report and report the L1 or L3 measurement report, as well as the content of the measurement report, such as RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, etc., based on the first condition, cell status, measurement object, etc.
- the terminal For example, if the Scell is not activated and the terminal detects the transmission of an on-demand SSB, it reports an L3 measurement report, thereby satisfying the Scell known condition and applying the Scell fast activation process. If a Scell activation command is received, the terminal reports a CSI report, completing the Scell activation process.

- the terminal After a certain processing time has passed since the Scell was added, the terminal is triggered to report measurement results.
- One benefit is that if the network quickly activates the Scell, it is likely to meet known conditions, making it suitable for fast cell activation.
- Another benefit is that the network can quickly determine the terminal's signal quality in the Scell, thereby determining whether to activate, release, or deactivate it.
- the terminal is triggered to report the measurement results aperiodically to avoid the terminal not meeting the reporting conditions of the configured event for a long time and thus not reporting the measurement results.
- the terminal does not meet the first condition for a long time due to low mobility or other reasons, but has been measuring or meeting specific conditions, such as duration, measurement threshold, etc., it can trigger the network side to provide resources for reporting through SR/BSR, etc., and it may also be reported through available CG, DG and other resources.
- the measurement report may directly instruct the terminal to report the measurement result, instruct the terminal to report the resource of the measurement result, or instruct the terminal to perform periodic measurement reporting, semi-static measurement reporting, dynamic measurement reporting, or configure a lower reporting threshold.

- the first indication is carried by DCI, which may be UE-specific DCI.
- the first indication is carried in single-cell uplink scheduling DCI such as DCI 0_0, DCI 0_1, and DCI 0_2, or in single-cell downlink scheduling DCI such as DCI 1_0, DCI 1_1, and DCI 1_2, and may be scheduling DCI or non-scheduling DCI.
- the first indication is carried by a DCI, which may be a new group common DCI.

实施例一
该实施例主要介绍第一指示和第一事件,第一指示可以包括测量结果的上报指示。
为了实现更快的Scell激活,on-demand SSB可以在Scell激活前被触发,用于辅助终端对Scell进行测量,从而满足Scell known状态的要求。但是,如果终端执行了测量,却无法满足测量上报的条件,就无法上报测量结果,从而无法满足Scell known状态的要求。因此,为了避免这种情况,需要考虑如何支持或放松on-demand SSB场景下的测量上报。网络侧触发on-demand SSB时指示终端上报测量结果。
可选地,网络侧设备通过第一指示,显示指示(1bit指示或指示域指示)或隐式指示终端上报测量结果。

1)所述目标小区的所述测量结果大于第二门限或小于第二门限。
该实施例可以配置一个比较低的第二门限,使得测量上报事件定义的第一条件更容易满足,有利于网络侧设备尽早或更容易获得测量结果,满足网络侧或终端侧的要求。
例如,在测量结果为相对值时,如果相对值一直小于第二门限,可能说明终端一直没有移动,考虑要求终端上报一次测量结果。可选地,这个事件里还要判断测量时间是否大于第三门限,或没有上报测量结果的时长是否大于第一门限,在测量时间大于第三门限,或在没有上报测量结果的时长大于第一门限的情况下,如果测量结果小于第二门限,则可以上报测量结果。
2)所述目标小区或目标频点包括网络节能(Network Energy Saving,NES)小区。例如,终端如果测的是NES小区,就认为满足测量上报的条件,有利于网络侧设备尽早或更容易获得测量结果,满足网络侧或终端侧的要求。

可选地,该实施例中,网络侧触发on-demand SSB时同时指示测量上报的资源,即网络侧在指示SSB发送时或者激活MO时就直接按照on-demand SSB的发送时间给终端预先分配一个上报测量结果的资源。
用于上报所述测量结果的资源的位置、上报所述测量结果的最早时间或时间范围、上报所述测量结果的最晚时间或时间范围,均可以由第一信息确定,所述第一信息包括第一时刻或第一间隔;

所述第一间隔是预定义的,或网络侧设备预配置、配置或指示的。
在一个例子中,所述第一间隔包括如下至少之一:所述目标小区的激活命令或配置信息的处理时间,上报指示的处理时间,混合自动重传请求反馈(Hybrid Automatic Repeat request Acknowledgement,HARQ-ACK)处理时间,测量时间,测量报告的生成时间,预定义的处理时间。

9)所述测量目标针对基于需求的SSB。
该例子隐式指示终端在测量基于需求的SSB后上报对应的测量结果。
该例子通过设置比较宽松的上报要求,有利于网络侧设备尽早或更容易获得测量结果,满足网络侧或终端侧的要求。
10)有上行资源能够上报所述测量结果。
该例子通过设置比较宽松的上报要求,如果有可用的上行资源,即可上报测量结果,有利于网络侧设备尽早或更容易获得测量结果,满足网络侧或终端侧的要求。
11)测量相关的定时器失效、上报倒计时定时器失效(达到最大间隔)或允许上报的定时器未失效。
该例子通过设置比较宽松的上报要求,有利于网络侧设备尽早或更容易获得测量结果,满足网络侧或终端侧的要求。
12)测量目标的配置时间或激活时间达到门限。
例如,在配置了MO一段时间后,就触发终端上报测量结果。该例子通过设置比较宽松的上报要求,有利于网络侧设备尽早或更容易获得测量结果,满足网络侧或终端侧的要求。
终端的上报内容满足以下至少之一:
1)层3(L3)测量报告。
2)层1(L1)测量报告。
3)信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)报告。
终端可以根据第一条件,小区状态,测量对象等判断是否上报,以及上报L1或L3测量报告,以及测量报告的内容,例如RSRP,RSSI,RSRQ等。
例如,如果Scell未激活,终端检测到了on-demand SSB的发送,就上报L3测量报告,从而可以满足Scell known的条件,适用Scell快速激活过程。如果接收到了Scell激活命令,则上报CSI报告,完成Scell激活过程。
实施例三
该实施例主要介绍触发测量上报的其他场景。
为了避免终端执行了测量,却无法满足测量上报的条件,就无法上报测量结果,从而无法满足网络侧或终端侧的要求,可以考虑引入更多的测量上报可能,或者特定场景下的测量上报行为,包括如下至少之一。
1)当第一指示指示或配置了Scell配置、添加、激活后,触发测量上报。
在刚添加Scell后,经过一定的处理时间后,触发终端上报测量结果。一个好处是如果网络侧很快激活Scell,此Scell容易满足known条件,从而适用快速小区激活。另一个好处是网络侧可以很快知道终端在该Scell下的信号质量等,从而确定是否激活,释放或去激活等。
2)当终端测量的MO关联的是事件触发式的上报方式时,非周期性的触发终端上报测量结果。避免终端长时间不满足配置事件的上报条件,从而一直不上报测量结果。
3)终端长时间不满足第一条件时,触发测量上报。
如果终端因为移动性较低等原因长时间不满足第一条件,但是一直在测量或是满足特定的条件,例如时长,测量门限等,可以通过SR/BSR等方式触发网络侧提供资源进行上报,也可能通过可用的CG,DG等资源进行上报。
4)终端长时间没有上报后,触发测量上报。
5)终端的测量结果相对变化值小于门限的时间大于门限,触发测量上报。
所述测量上报可以是直接指示终端上报测量结果,指示终端上报测量结果的资源,或指示终端进行周期性的测量上报,或半静态式的测量上报,或动态的测量上报,抑或是配置一个更低的上报门限。
实施例四
该实施例主要介绍第一指示的信令类型,第一指示可以由第一信令携带。
指示终端上报测量结果的第一信令可以是独立的信令,还可以由如下信令隐式指示:on-demand SSB触发信令,Scell激活或去激活信令,MO激活、去激活、添加或删除信令,或Scell配置、添加或删除等信令(后续称为第二信令)。
当指示终端上报测量结果的第一信令与第二信令是同一个时,满足以下内容:
1)第一信令为显示信令,例如第一信令为第二信令中的一个指示域,此指示域为新添加的或由其他指示域重新释义;或是一个新涉及的信令,同时包含第一信令与第二信令,例如即触发on-demand SSB,又指示终端上报测量结果。
2)第一信令为隐式信令,例如终端收到on-demand SSB触发信令,就认为收到了第一信令。
当指示终端上报测量结果的第一信令与第二信令是不同的信令时,满足以下内容的至少之一:
1)第一信令与第二信令由网络侧同时发送。
2)第一信令与第二信令独立发送(不要求同时发送)。
3)第一信令与第二信令的发送间隔不大于门限值。
第一信令的信令满足以下几个例子的至少之一:
在一个例子中,第一指示由DCI携带,该DCI可以是终端专属DCI(UE specific DCI)。例如,第一指示承载在DCI 0_0,DCI 0_1,DCI 0_2等单小区上行调度DCI中,或承载在DCI 1_0,DCI 1_1,DCI 1_2等单小区下行调度DCI中,可以是调度(scheduling)DCI,也可以是非调度(non-scheduling)DCI。
在一个例子中,第一指示由DCI携带,该DCI可以是新的组公共DCI(group common DCI)。
例如,第一指示为特定的无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identity,RNTI)(CRC scrambled by特定的RNTI),此RNTI表示触发或激活终端对第一小区执行信号测量。
可选地,组公共DCI中的一个块(block)对应一个特定终端。对不同的终端指示不同的目标小区,指示信息在DCI的块中体现,或者统一指示一个小区列表,对不同的终端指示不用测量哪些小区。
可选地,组公共DCI中的一个块(block)对应一个指示粒度,例如小区,频点。每个块上配置有哪些需要上报测量结果的终端信息,例如ID等。网络侧按照每个终端的粒度配置或指示终端读取DCI中的哪些块配置,其中,不同块可能对应不同的指示粒度。
在一个例子中,第一指示由DCI携带,该DCI可以是重用已有的组公共DCI,例如,显式配置DCI中是否有第一指示,或重新释义已有的一些域,来发送第一指示。
在一个例子中,第一指示由MAC CE携带,该MAC CE可以是新的MAC CE;还可以是已有的MAC CE,通过重新释义MAC CE中已有的指示,来发送第一指示。例如是Scell的激活或去激活MAC CE。
在一个例子中,第一指示由RRC信令携带。例如是RRC的测量配置或重配置信息,或Scell的激活或去激活信息。
