As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method 100 for measuring a reference signal, which may be performed by a terminal device, in other words, may be performed by software or hardware installed in the terminal device, and the method includes the following steps:

s102: and starting or stopping measuring the target reference signal according to at least one of the activation command of the secondary cell, the deactivation command of the secondary cell and the configuration information of the target reference signal.

Wherein the target reference signal is: BFD RS and/or candidate beam RS. The BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS may correspond to the SCell or to a Bandwidth Part (BWP) on the SCell. Starting or stopping the measurement of the target reference signal includes: starting or stopping measuring the SCell or BFD RS and/or candidate beam RS corresponding to the activated (active) BWP on the SCell, wherein the measuring (measurement) may comprise monitoring and/or detecting (detect).

In one implementation, the initiating measurement of the target reference signal includes: the measurement of the candidate beam-reference signal is started after the start of the measurement of the beam-failure detection reference signal or after a twenty-seventh predetermined time for the start of the measurement of the beam-failure detection reference signal. Wherein the twenty-seventh predetermined time is: at least one of a predetermined number of samples, a predetermined number of symbols, a predetermined number of slots, a predetermined number of subframes, a predetermined number of frames, and a predetermined number of radio frames.

Therefore, according to the method for measuring the reference signal provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement of the target reference signal is started or stopped by at least one of the activation command of the secondary cell, the deactivation command of the secondary cell, and the configuration information of the target reference signal; wherein the target reference signal is: the BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS can perform measurement of the BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS upon receiving a secondary cell activation command or a deactivation command, and/or upon receiving configuration information for releasing, adding, or updating a reference signal.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method 200 for measuring a reference signal, which may be performed by a terminal device, in other words, may be performed by software or hardware installed in the terminal device, and the method includes the following steps:

s202: starting to measure a target reference signal under the condition of receiving a secondary cell activation command; or stopping measuring the target reference signal under the condition of receiving the secondary cell deactivation command.

The target reference signal is: BFD RS and/or candidate beam RS. And the terminal physical layer measures the quality of the wireless link according to the BFD RS and judges whether a beam failure event occurs or not according to a measurement result. The terminal physical layer measures candidate beam RS to find a new candidate beam.

When the UE physical layer receives a request from the UE high layer, the UE physical layer reports a measurement result meeting a preset condition to the UE high layer to select a target candidate beam RS, wherein the target candidate beam RS is at least one of candidate beam RSs. The UE high layer sends a Beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) to the base station according to the selected target candidate Beam RS, and receives a Beam Failure Recovery Response (BFRR) to complete the BFR procedure.

Specifically, in the case of receiving the secondary cell activation command, starting to measure the target reference signal may include at least one of the following processes:

treatment method 1: starting to measure the target reference signal after receiving the SCell activation command or a first predetermined time of receiving the SCell activation command.

Optionally, the SCell activation command may be: radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Medium Access Control Element (MAC CE) command.

Treatment method 2: starting to measure the target reference signal after a second predetermined time at which the SCell activation command acknowledgement information is transmitted or the SCell activation command acknowledgement information is transmitted.

After receiving the SCell activation command, the UE may send SCell activation command acknowledgement information, where the SCell activation command acknowledgement information is an RRC configuration complete message or an RRC reconfiguration complete message when the SCell activation command is an RRC signaling, and the SCell activation command acknowledgement information may also be Hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information.

In this step, measurement of the target reference signal may be started after the SCell activation command acknowledgement information is transmitted or a second predetermined time for transmitting the SCell activation command acknowledgement information.

By the processing method 1 or 2, when the SCell activation command is received, the BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS start to be measured, so that whether a beam failure occurs can be efficiently determined, and/or a target candidate beam RS can be efficiently determined, so that beam failure recovery can be efficiently achieved.

In this step, when the secondary cell deactivation command is received, stopping measuring the target reference signal may include at least one of the following processing manners:

treatment method 3: stopping measuring the target reference signal after receiving the SCell deactivation command or a third predetermined time after receiving the SCell deactivation command.

The SCell deactivation command may be RRC signaling or MAC CE command.

Treatment mode 4: stopping measuring the target reference signal after a fourth predetermined time of transmitting the SCell deactivation command acknowledgement information or transmitting the SCell deactivation command acknowledgement information.

After receiving the SCell deactivation command, the UE may send SCell deactivation command acknowledgement information, where the acknowledgement information is an RRC configuration complete message or an RRC reconfiguration complete message when the SCell deactivation command is RRC signaling, and the acknowledgement information may also be HARQ-ACK information.

By the processing mode 3 or 4, when the SCell deactivation command is received, the measurement of the target reference signal is stopped, and the power consumption of the UE can be saved.

At least one of the first to fourth predetermined times is: at least one of a predetermined number of samples, a predetermined number of symbols, a predetermined number of slots, a predetermined number of subframes, a predetermined number of frames, and a predetermined number of radio frames.

In one implementation, the target reference signal in processing modes 1-4 is: BFD RS, and the step also includes: after the monitoring or measurement of the BFD RS is started or after twenty-seventh predetermined time for the monitoring or measurement of the BFD RS is started, the monitoring or measurement of the candidate beam RS is started again. The twenty-seventh predetermined time is: at least one of a predetermined number of samples, a predetermined number of symbols, a predetermined number of slots, a predetermined number of subframes, a predetermined number of frames, and a predetermined number of radio frames.

In one implementation, after starting to measure the target reference signal using process 1 or 2, an SCell deactivation command may be received, and stopping to measure the target reference signal using process 3 or 4. And, after stopping measuring the target reference signal using the processing manner 3 or 4, it is also possible to receive the SCell activation command, and start measuring the target reference signal again using the processing manner 1 or 2.

In one implementation, after stopping measuring the target reference signal using the processing means 3 or 4, the configuration information of the BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS may be released. Upon receiving the SCell activation command, the RS may be added or updated through RRC signaling, thereby starting to measure the target reference signal.

In another implementation, after stopping measuring the target reference signal in the processing manner 3 or 4, the configuration information of the BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS may be maintained. Therefore, when measurement of the target reference signal is started after the SCell activation command is received, the configuration information of the target reference signal does not need to be acquired again, and power consumption of the UE is saved.

According to the method for measuring the reference signal, the target reference signal is measured after the SCell activation command is received or the first preset time of the SCell activation command is received; or after a second predetermined time for transmitting the SCell activation command acknowledgement information or transmitting the SCell activation command acknowledgement information, starting to measure a target reference signal; or stopping measuring the target reference signal after receiving the SCell deactivation command or receiving a third predetermined time of the SCell deactivation command; or after the fourth preset time for transmitting the SCell deactivation command confirmation information or transmitting the SCell deactivation command confirmation information, the target reference signal is stopped to be measured, and the target reference signal can be measured efficiently and in an energy-saving manner.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method 300 for measuring a reference signal, which may be performed by a terminal device, in other words, may be performed by software or hardware installed in the terminal device, and the method includes the steps of:

s302: and under the condition of receiving the secondary cell activation command, starting to measure the beam failure detection reference signal.

S304: stopping measuring the beam failure detection reference signal after determining that the beam failure occurs or after determining that a fifth predetermined time of the beam failure occurs; and/or initiating measurement of the candidate beam reference signal after determining that a beam failure has occurred or after a sixth predetermined time for determining that a beam failure has occurred.

And measuring the BFD RS corresponding to the SCell to judge whether the SCell fails to generate a beam, and under the condition that an SCell activation command is received, after the SCell fails to generate the beam or after the fifth preset time that the SCell fails to generate the beam is determined, stopping measuring the BFD RS corresponding to the SCell, so that the power consumption of UE can be saved.

Measuring the candidate beam RS corresponding to the SCell is used for performing beam failure recovery after the SCell fails to generate a beam, and when an SCell activation command is received, after the SCell fails to generate the beam or after the sixth preset time for the SCell to fail is determined, measuring the candidate beam RS corresponding to the SCell is started, so that the target candidate beam RS can be efficiently determined, and the beam failure recovery of the SCell is realized.

In one implementation, starting to measure the candidate beam RS corresponding to the SCell may be performed at the same time, before, or after stopping measuring the BFD RS corresponding to the SCell.

In one implementation, after starting the measurement of candidate beam RS, the method further comprises: stopping the measurement of the candidate beam RS after the target candidate beam RS is determined or after the seventh predetermined time of determining the target candidate beam RS, power consumption of the UE can be saved.

Measuring the candidat beam RS corresponding to the SCell is used for determining a target candidat RS for beam failure recovery of the SCell after the SCell generates beam failure, and after determining the target candidat RS or determining the seventh preset time of the target candidat RS, stopping the measurement on the candidat RS corresponding to the SCell, thereby saving the power consumption of the UE.

S306: starting measurement of the beam failure detection reference signal after the beam failure recovery or after an eighth predetermined time of the beam failure recovery, and/or stopping measurement of the candidate beam reference signal after the beam failure recovery or after a ninth predetermined time of the beam failure recovery.

Measuring the BFD RS corresponding to the SCell is used for determining whether the SCell generates beam failure or not, and under the condition that an SCell activation command is received, measuring the BFD RS corresponding to the SCell is started after the SCell beam failure is recovered or after the eighth preset time of the SCell beam failure recovery, so that whether the SCell generates beam failure again or not can be continuously monitored after the SCell beam failure is recovered.

Measuring the candidate beam RS corresponding to the SCell is used for achieving beam failure recovery of the SCell, and when an SCell activation command is received, after the SCell beam failure recovery or after a ninth predetermined time of the SCell beam failure recovery, the measuring of the candidate beam RS corresponding to the SCell may be stopped, so as to save power consumption of the UE. The present embodiment is exemplified by the step S306 being executed after S304, but the exemplary description does not constitute a specific limitation to the scope of the present invention, and in an implementation manner of the present invention, the step S306 may be executed after the step S302.

At least one of the fifth to ninth predetermined times is: at least one of a predetermined number of samples, a predetermined number of symbols, a predetermined number of slots, a predetermined number of subframes, a predetermined number of frames, and a predetermined number of radio frames.

In the method for measuring the reference signal provided by the embodiment of the invention, the measurement of the beam failure detection reference signal is stopped after the beam failure is determined or after the fifth preset time for the beam failure is determined; and/or after the beam failure is determined to occur or after the sixth preset time for determining the beam failure to occur, starting to measure the candidate beam reference signal, so that the target reference signal can be measured efficiently and in an energy-saving manner.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method 400 of measuring a reference signal, which may be performed by a terminal device, in other words, may be performed by software or hardware installed in the terminal device, and the method includes the steps of:

s402: stopping measuring the target reference signal under the condition of receiving first configuration information for releasing the target reference signal; or in case of receiving second configuration information for adding or updating the target reference signal, starting to measure the target reference signal.

Wherein the target reference signal is: BFD RS and/or candidate beam RS. The first configuration information is used to release (release) the target reference signal and the second configuration information is used to add (add) or update (update) the target reference signal. The updating includes changing Quasi-co-location (QCL) information, time domain resource information, frequency domain resource information, and the like of the BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS. The first configuration information and/or the second configuration information may be transmitted through RRC signaling.

And the terminal physical layer measures the quality of the wireless link according to the BFD RS and judges whether a beam failure event occurs or not according to a measurement result. The terminal physical layer measures candidate beam RS to find a new candidate beam. When the UE physical layer receives a request from the UE high layer, the UE physical layer reports a measurement result meeting a preset condition to the UE high layer to select a target candidate beam RS, wherein the target candidate beam RS is at least one of candidate beam RSs.

The UE high layer sends a Beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) to the base station according to the selected target candidate Beam RS, and receives a Beam Failure Recovery Response (BFRR) to complete the BFR procedure.

Specifically, in the case that the second configuration information for adding or updating the target reference signal is received, starting to measure the target reference signal may include at least one of the following processing manners:

treatment method 5: starting to measure a target reference signal after receiving the second configuration information or a tenth predetermined time after receiving the second configuration information.

Treatment method 6: starting to measure a target reference signal after transmitting a second configuration completion message or a second reconfiguration completion message in response to the second configuration information or after an eleventh predetermined time of transmitting the second configuration completion message or the second reconfiguration completion message.

The second configuration information may also be second reconfiguration information, and may be transmitted by RRC signaling. As the response information, the UE sends a second configuration complete message or a second reconfiguration complete message, which may be an RRC configuration complete message or an RRC reconfiguration complete message.

By the processing means 5 or 6, when the second configuration information for adding or updating the target RS is received, the BFD RS and/or the candidate beam RS start to be measured, so that whether or not the beam failure occurs can be efficiently determined, and/or the target candidate beam RS can be efficiently determined, so that the beam failure recovery can be efficiently achieved.

The stopping of the measurement of the target reference signal when the first configuration information for releasing the target reference signal is received may include at least one of the following processing manners:

The first configuration information may also be first reconfiguration information, which may be transmitted by RRC signaling. As the response information, the UE sends a first configuration complete message or a first reconfiguration complete message, which may be an RRC configuration complete message or an RRC reconfiguration complete message.

By the processing method 7 or 8, when the first configuration information for releasing the target RS is received, the measurement of the target reference signal is stopped, and power consumption of the UE can be saved.

At least one of the tenth to thirteenth predetermined times is: at least one of a predetermined number of samples, a predetermined number of symbols, a predetermined number of slots, a predetermined number of subframes, a predetermined number of frames, and a predetermined number of radio frames.

In one implementation, in processing modes 5-8, the target reference signal is: and the step further comprises starting the listening or measuring for the candidate beam RS after starting the listening or measuring for the BFD RS or after twenty-seventh predetermined time for starting the listening or measuring for the BFD RS. The twenty-seventh predetermined time is: at least one of a predetermined number of samples, a predetermined number of symbols, a predetermined number of slots, a predetermined number of subframes, a predetermined number of frames, and a predetermined number of radio frames.
