Abstract

A measurement and reporting method and apparatus are provided, to resolve a problem that a channel resource and an interference resource conflict with a CORESET resource when SINR measurement is performed. The method includes: receiving measurement configuration information from a network device, where the measurement configuration information is used to configure a channel resource and an interference resource; and when the channel resource and the interference resource meet a preset condition, the channel resource and the interference resource are configured on OFDM symbols other than an OFDM symbol occupied by a CORESET; and performing measurement based on the configured channel resource and interference resource, the CORESET is shunned when the channel resource and the interference resource are configured, to avoid a problem that the channel resource, the interference resource, and the CORESET cannot be correctly received because the channel resource and the interference resource conflict with the CORESET resource.

Claims (35)

1 . A measurement and reporting method, applied to a terminal device, the method comprising:

receiving measurement configuration information from a network device, wherein the measurement configuration information is used to configure a channel resource and an interference resource; and in response to the channel resource and the interference resource meeting a preset condition, the channel resource and the interference resource are configured on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols other than an OFDM symbol occupied by a control-resource set (CORESET), including the OFDM symbol occupied by the CORESET is shunned during configuration of the channel resource and the interference resources;

performing measurement based on the configured channel resource and interference resource; and

wherein the preset condition is that a time-frequency resource occupied by the channel resource and a time-frequency resource occupied by a first CORESET comprise a same OFDM symbol, a time-frequency resource occupied by the interference resource and a time-frequency resource occupied by a second CORESET comprise a same OFDM symbol, and the first CORESET and the second CORESET correspond to a same reception beam; and the CORESET comprises the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the channel resource is a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB).

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the interference resource is the CSI-RS resource, the SSB, or a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein channel resources are in a one-to-one correspondence with interference resources.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein channel resources are in a one-to-one correspondence with interference resources.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset condition comprises one or more of the following:

a repetition parameter of a resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured as “on”; and

a repetition parameter of a resource set corresponding to the interference resource is configured as “on”.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein channel resources are in a one-to-one correspondence with interference resources.

8 . A measurement and reporting method, applied to a network device, the method comprising:

sending measurement configuration information to a terminal device, wherein the measurement configuration information is used to configure a channel resource and an interference resource; and in response to the channel resource and the interference resource meeting a preset condition, the channel resource and the interference resource are configured on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols other than an OFDM symbol occupied by a control-resource set (CORESET), including the OFDM symbol occupied by the CORESET is shunned during configuration of the channel resource and the interference resources;

sending the configured channel resource and interference resource; and

wherein the preset condition is that a time-frequency resource occupied by the channel resource and a time-frequency resource occupied by a first CORESET comprise a same OFDM symbol, a time-frequency resource occupied by the interference resource and a time-frequency resource occupied by a second CORESET comprise a same OFDM symbol, and the first CORESET and the second CORESET correspond to a same reception beam; and the CORESET comprises the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the channel resource is a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB).

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the interference resource is the CSI-RS resource, the SSB, or a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein channel resources are in a one-to-one correspondence with interference resources.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the preset condition comprises one or more of the following:

a repetition parameter of a resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured as “on”; and

a repetition parameter of a resource set corresponding to the interference resource is configured as “on”.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein channel resources are in a one-to-one correspondence with interference resources.

14 . A measurement and reporting method, applied to a terminal device, the method comprising:

receiving measurement configuration information from a network device, wherein the measurement configuration information is used to configure a channel resource and an interference resource, wherein the measurement configuration information includes first measurement configuration information and second measurement configuration information;

in response to the channel resource and the interference resource meeting a preset condition, receiving the channel resource, the interference resource, and a control-resource set (CORESET) by using a same reception beam according to a same transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state used for the channel resource, the interference resource, and the CORESET; and

the preset condition is that a time-frequency resource occupied by the channel resource and a time-frequency resource occupied by a first CORESET comprise a same OFDM symbol, a time-frequency resource occupied by the interference resource and a time-frequency resource occupied by a second CORESET comprise a same OFDM symbol, and the first CORESET and the second CORESET correspond to a same reception beam; and the CORESET comprises the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the preset condition comprises one or more of the following:

a time-frequency resource occupied by the channel resource and a time-frequency resource occupied by the CORESET comprise a same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol; and

a time-frequency resource occupied by the interference resource and the time-frequency resource occupied by the CORESET comprise a same OFDM symbol.

16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the channel resource is a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB).

17 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the interference resource is the CSI-RS resource, the SSB, or a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource.

18 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein channel resources are in a one-to-one correspondence with interference resources.

19 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein channel resources are in a one-to-one correspondence with interference resources.

20 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein based on a TCI state configured for a first resource being different from a TCI state of a channel resource configured by using the second measurement configuration information, measurement configuration information with a higher priority in the first measurement configuration information and the second measurement configuration information is selected for measurement and reporting according to a preset priority rule, and measurement configuration information with a lower priority is abandoned, wherein the first resource includes a channel resource configured by using the first measurement configuration information and an interference resource by using the second measurement configuration information.
