Abstract

One disclosure of the present specification provides a method by which user equipment (UE) performs a measurement. The method comprises the steps of: receiving, from a serving cell, a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB), wherein the SSB is used for radio link monitoring (RLM); and performing an RLM measurement on the basis of an RLM-reference signal (RLM-RS) included in the SSB, wherein, if the SSB is quasi-co-located (QCL) with respect to a channel-state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) resource, the RLM measurement is performed during a first evaluation period on the basis of a first value and, if the SSB is not QCL with respect to the CSI-RS resource, the RLM measurement is performed during a second evaluation period on the basis of a second value, and the first evaluation period is smaller than the second evaluation period.

Claims (53)

1. A method for performing measurement, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving, from a serving cell, a Channel-State Information Reference Signal_(CSI-RS) resource; and

performing measurement based on the CSI-RS resource during a measurement period,

wherein the measurement period is determined based on a repetition of the CSI-RS resource, and

based on that the repetition of the CSI-RS resource is set to ON, wherein the measurement period is based on a value related to a number of receiving beams, which is indicated by a capability information transmitted to the serving cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an SS (Synchronization Signal)/PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel) Block (SSB) from the serving cell; and

performing radio link monitoring (RLM) measurement, based on an RLM-reference signal (RLM-RS) included in the SSB, during an evaluation period which is based on scaling factor 8.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining a predetermined number of best beams by measuring RSRP (reference signal received power) for the CSI-RS resource through a beam sweeping operation based on a plurality of receiving beams,

wherein based on the SSB being Quasi-Co-Located (QCL) with the CSI-RS resource, the RLM measurement is performed based on the predetermined number of best beams during the evaluation period.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the serving cell, information that the SSB is QCL with the CSI-RS resource.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

based on the SSB not being QCL with the CSI-RS resource:

determining the number of receiving beams to be used for the RLM measurement by performing a beam sweeping operation based on a plurality of beams on the SSB,

wherein the RLM measurement is performed, based on the determined number of receiving beams.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CSI-RS resource is repeatedly received from the serving cell, and

wherein the method further comprises:

based on the SSB not being QCL with the CSI-RS resource:

determining the number of receiving beams to be used for the RLM measurement by performing a receiving beam sweeping operation based on a plurality of receiving beams on the CSI-RS resource during a period in which the CSI-RS resource is repeatedly received,

wherein the RLM measurement is performed, based on the determined number of receiving beams.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the CSI-RS resource is repeatedly received before a period in which the SSB is transmitted.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the serving cell, the capability information including information related to the number of receiving beams.

9. A wireless communication device configured to perform measurement, the wireless communication device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving, via the at least one transceiver from a serving cell, a Channel-State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource; and

performing measurement based on the CSI-RS resource during a measurement period,

wherein the measurement period is determined based on a repetition of the CSI-RS resource, and

based on that the repetition of the CSI-RS resource is set to ON, wherein the measurement period is based on a value related to a number of receiving beams, which is indicated by a capability information transmitted to the serving cell.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

receiving, via the at least one transceiver, an SS (Synchronization Signal)/PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel) Block (SSB) from the serving cell; and

performing radio link monitoring (RLM) measurement, based on an RLM-reference signal (RLM-RS) included in the SSB, during an evaluation period which is based on scaling factor 8.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

determining a predetermined number of best beams by measuring RSRP (reference signal received power) for the CSI-RS resource through a beam sweeping operation based on a plurality of receiving beams,

wherein based on the SSB being Quasi-Co-Located (QCL) with the CSI-RS resource, the RLM measurement is performed based on the predetermined number of best beams during the evaluation period.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

receiving, from the serving cell, information that the SSB is QCL with the CSI-RS resource.

13. The wireless communication device of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

based on the SSB not being QCL with the CSI-RS resource:

determining the number of receiving beams to be used for the RLM measurement by performing a beam sweeping operation based on a plurality of beams on the SSB,

wherein the RLM measurement is performed, based on the determined number of receiving beams.

14. The wireless communication device of claim 10 , wherein the CSI-RS resource is repeatedly received from the serving cell, and

wherein the operations further comprise:

based on the SSB not being QCL with the CSI-RS resource:

determining the number of receiving beams to be used for the RLM measurement by performing a receiving beam sweeping operation based on a plurality of receiving beams on the CSI-RS resource during a period in which the CSI-RS resource is repeatedly received,

wherein the RLM measurement is performed, based on the determined number of receiving beams.

15. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the CSI-RS resource is repeatedly received before a period in which the SSB is transmitted.

16. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

transmitting, to the serving cell, the capability information including information related to the number of receiving beams.
