CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202310507484.8, filed on May 6, 2023, entitled “Method, device and storage medium for sending and receiving measurement reports”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for sending and receiving a measurement report.

Background Art

In the New Radio (NR) system, in order to combat the path loss in high-frequency scenarios, the transmitter and receiver obtain matching beam pairs through beam management (BM) to improve beamforming gain. In the existing downlink beam management process, the base station needs to cyclically send the network-side transmit beam in different directions, and the terminal (User Equipment, UE) uses the terminal-side receive beam to receive the network-side transmit beam, and measures the reference signal sent on the network-side transmit beam to select the beam with the best reception performance.

In related technologies, in order to obtain the optimal beam or beam pair, the base station needs to send reference signals on all transmit beams, which consumes a lot of reference signal resources. At the same time, the terminal needs to use all receive beams to measure the reference signals sent on all transmit beams respectively, which results in a large measurement overhead. Therefore, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are applied to beam management. In beam management based on AI or ML, the measurement of some beams or beam pairs, historical beams or beam pairs, etc. are used to determine the optimal beam or beam pair. The measurement results can be used to predict the optimal beam or beam pair, thereby saving reference signal transmission resources and reducing terminal measurement overhead and measurement delay.

The training, reasoning, monitoring, and updating of the beam management model can be performed on the network side or on the terminal side. Regardless of which side is used, the terminal needs to measure the quality of the beam or beam pair, and there is currently no exact measurement solution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to better describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure, relevant knowledge is introduced below.

In order to better describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure, relevant knowledge is introduced below.

In the New Radio (NR) system, in order to combat the path loss in high-frequency scenarios, the transmitter and receiver obtain matching beam pairs through beam management (BM) to improve beamforming gain. In the existing downlink beam management process, the base station needs to cyclically send the network-side transmit beam (Tx beam) in different directions, and the UE uses the terminal-side receive beam (Rx beam) to receive the Tx beam, and measures the Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) or Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) sent on all Tx beams, and selects the beam with the best reception performance, such as the best X beams (X=1,2,4) with the best Layer 1 Reference Signal Receiving Power (L1-RSRP), and reports the reference signal index information corresponding to these X beams to the base station. The network side selects the appropriate Tx beam for subsequent communications based on the information reported by the UE, and indicates the selected beam information to the UE.

In order to obtain the optimal beam pair in the related technology, the base station needs to send CSI-RS/SSB on all Tx beams, which leads to the technical problem of large consumption of reference signal resources. At the same time, the UE needs to use all Rx beams to measure the CSI-RS/SSB sent on all Tx beams respectively, which leads to the technical problem of large measurement overhead and reporting overhead. In order to solve these problems, it is proposed to use artificial intelligence (AI/ML) technology. Based on the measurement of some beams (pairs) or historical beam (pair) measurement results, the optimal beam (pair) can be predicted, thereby saving reference signal (RS) transmission resources, UE measurement overhead and UE measurement delay.

Model training/model reasoning/model monitoring/model update can be done on the base station side or on the UE side. If the model reasoning is on the base station side, the UE needs to report the measured quality of some beams (pairs) to the base station as model input. If the model training/update is on the base station side, in addition to reporting the measured quality of some beams (pairs), the UE also needs to report the label information used for model training. If the model is monitored on the base station side, the UE needs to report the measured beam (pair) quality or the best K (Top-K) beam (pair) information to the base station.

AI/ML-based beam management is one of the research use cases of the air interface AI/ML topic. Currently, the following two sub-use cases are used as sub-use cases of AI/ML beam management:

BM-case1: Spatial beam prediction, that is, predicting the Top-K beams (pairs) in SetA based on SetB measured at a certain moment.

BM-case2: Time domain beam prediction, that is, predicting the Top-K beams (pairs) of SetA at the next N’ moments based on SetB measured at the historical N moments.

Among them, SetB and SetA can be a set consisting of downlink transmission beams (DL Tx beams) or a set consisting of transceiver beam pairs (Tx-Rx beam pairs). In the downlink transmission beam prediction, the UE fixes or selects a best Rx beam, measures the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of some DL Tx beams (SetB) sent by the base station, and the base station or UE predicts the Tx beam corresponding to the Top-K RSRP in SetA based on the measurement results of SetB, which is the Top-K downlink transmission beam prediction. In the transceiver beam pair prediction, a Tx beam of the base station and an Rx beam of the UE form a beam pair (beam pair). The UE measures the RSRP of the beam pair in SetB. The base station or UE predicts the beam pair corresponding to the Top-K RSRP in SetA based on the measurement results of SetB, which is the Top-K transceiver beam pair prediction. In addition, SetB may be a subset of SetA or may not be a subset of SetA (eg, SetB is a wide beam and SetA is a narrow beam).

FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the transmit beam and receive beam provided by the related art. As shown in FIG1, taking the transmit and receive beam pair prediction of BM-case1 as an example, assuming that there are 32 Tx beams on the base station side and 4 Rx beams on the UE side, 8 Tx beams (Tx beam 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29) on the base station side and 4 Rx beams (Rx beam 1, 2, 3, 4) on the UE side are selected, that is, 32 beam pairs constitute SetB, and all 128 (32*4) beam pairs constitute SetA. The AI/ML model predicts the Top-K beam pairs in SetA based on the measurement results of SetB. The output of the AI/ML model can be the index/identification (ID) of the predicted Top-K beam pairs of SetA, or the predicted RSRP of the beam pairs of SetA. The latter can select the Top-K beam pairs according to the size of the predicted RSRP.

During the model training phase, the UE needs to measure the beam pair quality of SetA and obtain the label information for model training. Taking Figure 1 as an example, during the model training phase, the UE needs to measure the beam pair quality of SetA. The 128 beam pairs of SetA consist of 32 Tx beams and 4 Rx beams. Then the UE needs to receive each Tx beam in turn in a beam scanning manner to measure the quality of the 128 beam pairs. In Figure 1, SetB is a subset of SetA, so there is no need to measure SetB separately. If SetB is not a subset of SetA, SetB needs to be measured separately.

In the existing CSI measurement and reporting framework, the base station configures the measurement reference signal (resourcesForChannelMeasurement) associated with the CSI report. In a single-station scenario, the measurement reference signal associated with one CSI report (Report) can only configure or activate one resource set (resource set), and the UE measures the L1-RSRP of each resource in the resource set. When configuring a resource set, the repetition field can be configured. If the repetition field is configured to "on", the UE can assume that the resources in the resource set have the same downlink spatial transmission direction, that is, the resources in the resource set are transmitted using the same beam.

However, this configuration does not support the UE to receive each network-side transmitted beam using beam scanning within a CSI reporting configuration. At the same time, when performing model training on the base station side, the base station needs to configure the beam pattern information of SetB so that the UE can report the quality measurement results of the beam (pair) in SetB.

In order to measure the quality of a beam or a beam pair so as to use the measurement results in AI or ML-based beam management, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device, and storage medium for sending and receiving a measurement report.

The technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure is further described below through several specific examples.

Example 1: The base station configures the UE to measure the quality of beam pairs and constructs a training data set. The AI/ML model predicts the best beam pair among the 128 beam pairs of SetA based on the RSRP of the 32 beam pairs of SetB.

The base station configures 32 CSI-RS resource sets corresponding to SetA in the CSI report. Each reference signal resource set includes 4 CSI-RSs, and each reference signal resource set is configured with a field of repetition = on. The indication field of SetB is added to indicate the Tx beam corresponding to SetB in the form of a bitmap. The 32 beam pairs of SetB shown in Figure 1 are composed of 8 transmit beams (Tx beam 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29) on the base station side and 4 Rx beams on the UE side. The 128 beam pairs of SetA are composed of all 32 Tx beams on the base station side and 4 Rx beams on the UE side. Then, the length of the SetB bitmap field is 32, and the field is 10001000100010001000100010001000, where the bit at the i-th position is 1, indicating that the i-th resource set corresponds to the Tx beam of SetB, and 0, indicating that it does not correspond.

The relative direction information and number of reported Rx beams are configured in the CSI report. In Figure 1, SetB corresponds to 4 Rx beams, and the base station configures the beam reporting (NrofReportBeams) field to 4. The UE uses 4 beams to receive the Tx beams of SetB respectively, and reports the relative direction information of the 4 receiving beams used.

Example 2: Assume that the AI/ML model predicts the best beam pair among the 128 beam pairs of SetA based on the RSRP of the 16 beam pairs of SetB. The base station configures one reference signal resource set in the CSI report, which includes 32 CSI-RS resources (for In the measurement resource configuration IE, add the repetition times field for each CSI-RS resource. In the reference signal resource set configuration IE, add the resource number indication field for SetB.

In Figure 1, the beam pair of SetA corresponds to 4 Rx beams, so the repetition parameter (NrofRepetition) of each CSI-RS resource is configured as 4. Assume that SetB corresponds to 8 Tx beams and 2 Rx beams. If the base station configures the SetB beam parameter (NrofSetBBeams) field to 8, the UE believes that the first 8 of the 32 CSI-RS resources configured by the base station correspond to the Tx beam of SetB. If the base station configures the number of Rx beams reported by the UE to 2, the UE can select 2 Rx beams as the Rx beams of SetB and report the relative beam direction measurement of the two Rx beams.

Example 3: The base station configures the UE to measure the quality of the beam pair and builds a model training data set. The AI/ML model predicts the best beam pair among the 128 beam pairs of SetA based on the RSRP of the 32 beam pairs of SetB. SetB contains the following 4 patterns:

Pattern1(P1):Tx beam{1,5,9,13,17,21,25,29}, Rx beam{1,2,3,4};

Pattern2(P2):Tx beam{2,6,10,14,18,22,26,30}, Rx beam{1,2,3,4};

Pattern3(P3):Tx beam{3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31}, Rx beam{1,2,3,4};

Pattern4(P4):Tx beam{4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32}, Rx beam{1,2,3,4};

The base station configures one CSI report including four patterns, and configures eight reference signal resource sets or reference signal resources corresponding to Pattern1, and the remaining patterns are configured through offset values. SetB includes four patterns, and the channel measurement pattern parameter (NrofpatternForChannelMeasurement) field can be configured to 4. The protocol can specify the maximum number of Set patterns, such as 8 or 16. The reference signal corresponding to Pattern1 is configured in the manner of Example 1 or Example 2, and the remaining Patterns are configured with an offset from Pattern1 through the SetBPattern field. Each offset includes a Tx beam offset and an Rx beam offset. For example, SetBpattern in this embodiment can be configured as {1,0}, {2,0}, {3,0}, which means that the Tx beam offsets of Patterns 2, 3, and 4 are 1, 2, and 3 respectively with those of Pattern1, and the Rx beam is 1, 2, and 3 with those of Pattern 1. The Rx beam is consistent.
