In the related art, the terminal then feeds back to the network device the reference signal quality measured through at least one receiving beam and the corresponding reference signal identity (ID). This allows the network device to determine the reference signal quality of other reference signals based on the received reference signal quality of at least one receiving beam, the corresponding reference signal ID, and a signal quality prediction model. However, the accuracy of the reference signal quality determined using the above method is far from satisfactory.

An application scenario of the present disclosure will be described below:

FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a communication system according to an example of the present disclosure. The communication system may include a terminal 10 and a network device 20.

A plurality of terminals 10 are usually provided, and one or more terminals 10 may be distributed in a cell managed by one network device 20. The terminal 10 may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices and computing devices that have a radio communication function, other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, and various forms of user equipment (UE) and mobile stations (MS). For convenience of description, in the example of the present disclosure, the devices described above are collectively referred to as the terminal.

The network device 20 is a device deployed in the access network to provide wireless communication functions for the terminal 10. For ease of description, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the device that provides wireless communication functions for the terminal 10 is collectively referred to as a network device. A connection can be established between the network device 20 and the terminal 10 via the air interface, allowing for communication through this connection, including the exchange of signaling and data. There may be a plurality of network devices 20, and two adjacent network devices 20 may communicate with each other via either wired or wireless manner. The terminal 10 may switch between different network devices 20, i.e., it may establish connections with different network devices 20.

The network device 20 may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. In systems that use different radio access technologies, names of devices that have network device functions may be different, for example, gNodeB or gNB in a 5G new radio (NR) system. With evolution of a communication technology, the name “network device” may change. A gNB may include one or more transmission reception point (TRPs), or a gNB may include one or more antenna panels.

FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of a method for transmitting information according to an example of the present disclosure. For example, the method may be performed by the terminal and the network device shown in FIG. 1, and the method includes at least a part of the following: step 201: beam information of at least one receiving beam is transmitted to the network device by the terminal.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal includes at least one receiving beam, and communicates with the network device through the at least one receiving beam. In addition, the beam information of the at least one receiving beam may be further obtained by the terminal, and the beam information of the at least one receiving beam may be further transmitted to the network device by the terminal.

The terminal measures reference signals based on reference signal resources configured by the network device, to determine reference signal quality of reference signals transmitted by the network device. When these reference signals are measured by the terminal, the reference signal quality of the reference signal may be measured by the terminal with receiving beams of the at least one receiving beam of the terminal for each reference signal. After the measurement, the beam information of these receiving beams may be further reported by the terminal, and then the beam information of the receiving beams that is reported by the terminal is received by the network device.

In some examples, the reference signal resource configured for the terminal by the network device is a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource, or the reference signal resource is a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource. Accordingly, the reference signal transmitted to the terminal by the network device is the CSI-RS signal in a case where the reference signal resource configured for the terminal by the network device is the CSI-RS resource; and the reference signal transmitted to the terminal by the network device is the SSB in a case where the reference signal resource configured for the terminal by the network device is the SSB resource, which is not limited in the example of the present disclosure.

Step 202: the beam information of the at least one receiving beam transmitted by the terminal is received by the network device.

In the example of the present disclosure, the beam information of the at least one receiving beam transmitted by the terminal is received by the network device, each receiving beam of the at least one receiving beam of the terminal may be determined. Then reference signal quality corresponding to other reference signals may be subsequently determined based on the reference signal quality and corresponding beam information that are reported by the terminal.

It should be noted that the steps performed by the terminal in the example of the present disclosure may be implemented separately to form a new example, and the steps performed by the network device may be implemented separately to form a new example.

In the solution according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the beam information of the at least one receiving beam is reported to the network device by the terminal, so that the at least one receiving beam of the terminal is determined by the network device. In this way, the signal quality of the reference signal is determined by the network device according to the at least one receiving beam of the terminal, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined signal quality, and, consequently, enhancing the reliability of the communication.

Based on the example shown in FIG. 2, the signal quality of other reference signals may be determined by the network device based on the information of the reference signal(s) reported by the terminal. FIG. 3 illustrates a flowchart of a method for transmitting information according to an example of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 3, the method includes: step 301: signal quality of other reference signals other than at least one reference signal are determined by the network device based on signal quality of the at least one reference signal and beam information of at least one receiving beam that are reported by a terminal, where the signal quality includes layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) or a layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (L1-SINR). The at least one reference signal includes one or more reference signals.

In the example of the present disclosure, the network device may determine the at least one receiving beam reported by the terminal according to the beam information of the at least one receiving beam. In a case where the signal quality of the reference signal received by using the at least one receiving beam and the beam information of the at least one receiving beam are reported by the terminal, the network device may determine the signal quality of other reference signals other than the at least one reference signal according to the determined at least one receiving beam and the signal quality of the reference signal received through the at least one receiving beam.

The receiving beam refers to a beam used by the terminal, i.e., the beam configured to measure the signal quality of the reference signal transmitted by the network device. The reference signal may also be transmitted by the network device through a transmitting beam of the network device, and the reference signal transmitted by the network device is received by the terminal through the receiving beam.

Optionally, the signal quality of the reference signal received by using the at least one receiving beam is required to be reported by the terminal. Before reporting, the terminal randomly selects a portion of receiving beams to measure the signal quality of the reference signal and reports the measured signal quality of the reference signal to the network device.

Optionally, the terminal randomly selects a portion of receiving beams to measure the signal quality of the reference signal. Further, the terminal randomly selects a preset number of reference signals with higher signal quality and reports the signal quality of the selected reference signals to the network device.

In some examples, different reference signals are transmitted by the network device, and each reference signal transmitted by the network device is received by the terminal using the at least one receiving beam of the terminal itself.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a reference signal 1, a reference signal 2, a reference signal 3 and a reference signal 4 are transmitted by the network device 42, and the terminal 41 includes a receiving beam 5, a receiving beam 6, a receiving beam 7 and a receiving beam 8. The reference signals transmitted by the network device 42 are received by the terminal 41 through the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7 and the receiving beam 8 respectively. In other words, the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3 and the reference signal 4 that are transmitted by the network device 42 may be received by the terminal through the receiving beam 5, and the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3 and the reference signal 4 that are transmitted by the network device 42 may also be received by the terminal through the receiving beam 6, and so on. The reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3 and the reference signal 4 that are transmitted by the network device 42 may be received by each receiving beam of the terminal. In addition, the signal quality of each reference signal received by each receiving beam is measured by each receiving beam of the terminal. In this case, all combinations of the reference signals and the receiving beams are measured by the terminal 41. In different embodiments, a part of all the combinations of the reference signals and the receiving beams may be measured by the terminal 41. After the signal quality of the reference signal is measured, an identifier of the reference signal, signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal, and beam information of the receiving beam that obtains the signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal may be reported by the terminal 41. The combinations of the reference signals and the receiving beams that are reported by the terminal 41 may include all combinations and signal quality corresponding to each of the combinations, or a portion of all combinations and signal quality corresponding to each of the portion combinations.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3 and the reference signal 4 are transmitted by the network device 42, and the terminal 41 includes the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7 and the receiving beam 8. At least one reference signal of the four reference signals transmitted by the network device 42 may be received by the terminal 41 through each receiving beam of the four receiving beams. For example, the reference signal 1 transmitted by the network device 42 is received by the terminal 41 through the receiving beam 5. The reference signal 2 transmitted by the network device 42 is received by the terminal through the receiving beam 6. The reference signal 3 transmitted by the network device 42 is received by the terminal through the receiving beam 7. And the reference signal 4 transmitted by the network device 42 is received by the terminal through the receiving beam 8. In other words, each receiving beam is configured to receive and measure at least one reference signal. In addition, an identifier of at least one reference signal measured by each receiving beam, signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal, and information of the receiving beam that obtains the signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal are reported. For example, the reference signal 1 and the receiving beam 5, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 1 are reported. The reference signal 2 and the receiving beam 6, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 2 are reported. The reference signal 3 and the receiving beam 7, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 3 are reported. The reference signal 4 and the receiving beam 8, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 4 are reported.

The signal quality of the reference signal received by the terminal through the at least one receiving beam refers to the measurement for the L1-RSRP of the reference signal or the L1-SINR of the reference signal.

In some embodiments, after receiving the identifier of the reference signal, the information of the receiving beam, and the signal quality of the identifier of the reference signal that are reported by the terminal device, the network device sorts the signal quality of the at least one reference signal according to the identifier of the receiving beam and/or the identifier of the reference signal, and determines the signal quality of other reference signals based on the sorted signal quality of the reference signals and a signal quality prediction model.

Since the identifier of the at least one reference signal, the signal quality of the reference signal and information of the corresponding receiving beam are obtained by the network device, the network device can determine the receiving beam through which the terminal receives the at least one reference signal and signal quality of each reference signal. In this way, while determining the signal quality of other reference signals, the network device can sort the reported signal quality of the reference signal(s) based on the beam information of the receiving beam(s) reported by the terminal, to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals.

It should be noted that the signal quality prediction model in the embodiment of the present disclosure is pre-stored in the network device. Alternatively, the signal quality prediction model in the embodiment of the present disclosure is stored in a server and is transmitted to the network device by the server. Then the signal quality of the reference signal is predicted by the network device based on the signal quality prediction model.

For the process of determining the signal quality of the other reference signals by the network device via the signal quality prediction model, the network device may sort the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and/or the identifier of the reference signal. For the reported signal quality of the reference signal, each reported signal quality of the reference signal corresponds to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and the identifier of the reference signal, and the signal quality of other reference signals may be predicted by the signal quality prediction model. The predicted signal quality of the other reference signals may include signal quality corresponding to all combinations of receiving beams and reference signals of the corresponding terminal, or signal quality corresponding to some combinations of receiving beams and reference signals of the corresponding terminal. For example, the obtained strongest signal quality of each reference signal may be predicted when all receiving beams are used to receive the reference signals.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each receiving beam of the terminal corresponds to an identifier. When the signal quality of the other reference signals are determined based on the at least one receiving beam and the signal quality of the reference signal received through the receiving beam, the network device sorts the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier(s) of the receiving beam(s). Alternatively, the network device sorts the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier(s) of the reference signal(s). Alternatively, the network device sorts the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier(s) of the receiving beam(s) and the identifier(s) of the reference signal(s). Then, the sorted signal quality of the reference signals are input into the signal quality prediction model, to determine the signal quality of the other reference signals other than these reference signals.

The signal quality prediction model is configured to predict the signal quality of the reference signals received by all receiving beams, according to the signal quality of the reference signals received by some receiving beams and corresponding beam information of the receiving beams.

For example, according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are sorted to obtain the sorted matrix sequence. The matrix sequence is inputted into the signal quality prediction model to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals other than the at least one reference signal. Alternatively, according to the identifier of the reference signal, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are sorted to obtain the sorted matrix sequence. The matrix sequence is inputted into the signal quality prediction model to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals other than the at least one reference signal. Alternatively, according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and the identifier of the reference signal, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are sorted to obtain the sorted matrix sequence. The sorted matrix sequence is inputted into the signal quality prediction model to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals other than the at least one reference signal.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when sorting the signal quality of the at least one reference signal, signal quality of a reference signal is set as 0 in a case where the signal quality of the reference signal is not measured.

For example, when the signal quality of the reference signals are sorted according to the identifier of the receiving beam and the identifier of the reference signal, the terminal has two receiving beams and four reference signals are transmitted by a base station, the matrix sequence inputted into the signal quality prediction model includes eight parameters. The eight parameters constitute a matrix sequence with one column and eight rows, that is, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station.

For the matrix inputted to the signal quality prediction model, the 8 signal quality in the matrix are set as follows: for the reference signal and receiving beam combinations for which the terminal has reported the signal quality, the corresponding parameters in the matrix are set to the signal quality of those reference signals. For the reference signal and receiving beam combinations for which the terminal has not reported the signal quality, the corresponding parameters in the matrix are set to 0. Subsequently, the signal quality prediction model processes the inputted matrix and obtains an output matrix, from which the signal quality of all reference signals can be determined.

For example, after the signal quality of the reference signals are sorted by the network device according to the identifier of the receiving beam and the identifier of the reference signal, the matrix obtained is as follows:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#1}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#2}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#3}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#4}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#5}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#6}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#7}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#8}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#2}\\ 0\\ 0\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#5}\\ 0\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#7}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#8}\end{array}\right]$

The obtained matrix is inputted into the signal quality prediction model, and based on the signal quality prediction model, the processed matrix is outputted as follows:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#l}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#2}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#3}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#4}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#5}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#6}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#7}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#8}\end{array}\right]$

The matrix may denote the signal quality of the reference signals.

In the solution according to the example of the present disclosure, after the signal quality of the reference signals are sorted according to the identifier of the reference signal and/or the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal, the signal quality of the other reference signals are determined according to the sorted signal quality of the reference signals and the signal quality prediction model. Since the signal quality of the other reference signals can be determined by the signal quality prediction model according to signal quality of some of the reference signals and beam information of the corresponding receiving beams, the accuracy of the signal quality determined is improved.

In some examples, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are grouped by the network device according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and/or the identifier of the reference signal. Based on the signal quality of the reference signals that are grouped and the signal quality prediction model, signal quality of other reference signals with the same beam information as the receiving beam corresponding to the at least one reference signal are determined.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each receiving beam corresponds to an identifier. When determining the signal quality of the other reference signals, the signal quality of reference signals received through these receiving beams are first grouped according to the identifier of the receiving beam, to obtain the signal quality of the reference signals in different groups. Then the signal quality of the other reference signals with the same beam information as the receiving beam corresponding to the at least one reference signal are determined according to the grouped signal quality of the reference signals and the signal quality prediction model. Alternatively, when determining the signal quality of the other reference signals, the signal quality of reference signals that are received through these receiving beams are first grouped according to the identifier of the reference signal, to obtain the signal quality of the reference signals in different groups. Then the signal quality of the other reference signals with the same identifier of the reference signal corresponding to the at least one reference signal are determined according to the grouped signal quality of the reference signals and the signal quality prediction model.

For example, description is made with as an example of grouping the signal quality according to the identifier of the receiving beam. In a case where there are eight signal quality, i.e., the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station.

According to the solution according to the example of the present disclosure, the signal quality belonging to the receiving beam 1 are divided into one group. In other words, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station are grouped into one group. The receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station are grouped into another group.

The solution for predicting the signal quality of the reference signal in the example of the present disclosure is similar to the example described above, which will not be repeated here.

In the solution according to the example of the present disclosure, the signal quality of the other reference signals may be directly determined by the network device according to the signal quality of the at least one reference signal and the beam information of the at least one receiving beam. The accuracy of the determined signal quality of the other reference signals is improved since the signal quality of the reference signal and the beam information returned by the terminal are referenced.

Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the beam information includes at least one of the following:

• • (1) An identifier of the receiving beam.

Each receiving beam may be indicated by the identifier. For example, the identifier of the receiving beam is an identity (ID) of the receiving beam.

With reference to FIG. 4, the terminal includes four receiving beams, i.e., the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7 and the receiving beam 8. In other words, the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7, and the receiving beam 8 may be reported by the terminal, thereby these four receiving beams are indicated accordingly.

• • (2) A value of a first azimuth angle.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the beam information includes the first azimuth angle. The first azimuth angle indicates an azimuth angle corresponding to the receiving beam. In other words, the first azimuth angle of the receiving beams has a numerical value, and the beam information includes the first azimuth angle corresponding to each receiving beam.

• • (3) An identifier of the first azimuth angle.

In the example of the present disclosure, the first azimuth angle has a numerical value, and the numerical value of the first azimuth angle may be indicated by the identifier of the first azimuth angle. In other words, the identifier of the first azimuth angle has a correspondence relationship with the numerical value of the first azimuth angle, where the first azimuth angle may be determined according to the identifier of the first azimuth angle and the correspondence relationship.

It should be noted that there is an implicit correspondence relationship between the first azimuth angle and the receiving beam in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In other words, after the value of the first azimuth angle or the identifier of the first azimuth angle are reported by the terminal, the network device may determine the identifier of the corresponding receiving beam according to the value of the first azimuth angle or the identifier of the first azimuth angle. Subsequently, the network device may predict the signal quality of other reference signals according to the determined identifier of the receiving beam and the signal quality prediction model.

• • (4) A value of a second azimuth angle.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the beam information includes a second azimuth angle. The second azimuth angle indicates an azimuth angle corresponding to the receiving beam. In other words, the second azimuth angle of the receiving beams has a numerical value, and the beam information includes the second azimuth angle corresponding to each receiving beam.

• • (5) An identifier of the second azimuth angle.

The second azimuth angle is similar to the first azimuth angle, which will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that the first azimuth angle in the embodiment of the present disclosure is an angle in a horizontal dimension, and the second azimuth angle is an angle in a vertical dimension. Alternatively, the first azimuth angle is an angle in a vertical dimension and the second azimuth angle is an angle in a horizontal dimension.

It should be noted that there is an implicit correspondence relationship between the second azimuth angle and the receiving beam in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In other words, after the value of the second azimuth angle or the identifier of the second azimuth angle are reported by the terminal, the network device may determine the identifier of the corresponding receiving beam according to the value of the second azimuth angle or the identifier of the second azimuth angle. Subsequently, the network device may predict the signal quality of the other reference signals according to the determined identifier of the receiving beam and the signal quality prediction model.

• • (6) The total number of the receiving beams.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal includes at least one receiving beam. The at least one receiving beam may include one or more receiving beams. In a case where the terminal includes a plurality of receiving beams, the total number of the receiving beams is reported to the network device via the beam information. In this way, the network device may be informed of the number of the receiving beams used by the terminal.

With reference to FIG. 4, the terminal includes four receiving beams, i.e., the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7 and the receiving beam 8. In other words, the total number of the receiving beams reported by the terminal is four.

• • (7) The total number of the first azimuth angles.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the total number of the first azimuth angles reported by the terminal is the number of the first azimuth angles having different numerical values that are used by the terminal. The first azimuth angle is a first azimuth angle corresponding to the receiving beam of the terminal. The number of the first azimuth angles used by the terminal may be reported by the terminal, so that the network device determines the number of the first azimuth angles used by the terminal. In addition, the network device may further determine the numerical value of each first azimuth angle based on the total number of the first azimuth angles.

In some embodiments, after the total number of the first azimuth angles is determined, the numerical value of each first azimuth angle may be determined according to an angular range of the first azimuth angles and the total number of the first azimuth angles.

Then the numerical value of each second azimuth angle is determined based on the angular interval.

For example, in a case where the angular range of the second azimuth angle ranges from 0 degrees to 90 degrees and the total number of the second azimuth angles is four, the angular interval between two adjacent second azimuth angles is determined to be 30 degrees. An angle of a first second azimuth angle is 0 degrees, an angle of a second second azimuth angle is 30 degrees, an angle of a third second azimuth angle is 60 degrees, and an angle of a fourth second azimuth angle is 90 degrees.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a reference signal 1, a reference signal 2, a reference signal 3 and a reference signal 4 are transmitted by the network device 42, and the terminal 41 includes a receiving beam 5, a receiving beam 6, a receiving beam 7 and a receiving beam 8. The reference signals transmitted by the network device 42 are received by the terminal 41 through the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7 and the receiving beam 8 respectively. In other words, the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3, and the reference signal 4 transmitted by the network device 42 may be received by the terminal through the receiving beam 5; the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3, and the reference signal 4 transmitted by the network device 42 may be received by the terminal through the receiving beam 6, and so on. Each receiving beam of the terminal may receive the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3 and the reference signal 4 transmitted by the network device 42 and measure the signal quality of each reference signal received by each receiving beam. In the description, all combinations of the reference signals and the receiving beams are measured by the terminal 41. In different examples, a part of all combinations of the reference signals and the receiving beams may be measured by the terminal 41. After measuring the signal quality of the reference signal, the terminal 41 may further report the identifier of the reference signal and signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal, and obtain the beam information of the receiving beam of the signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal. The combinations of the reference signals and the receiving beams reported by the terminal 41 may include signal quality corresponding to all combinations and each combination, or signal quality corresponding to some of all combinations and each combination.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3 and the reference signal 4 are transmitted by the network device 42, and the terminal 41 includes the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7 and the receiving beam 8. At least one reference signal of the four reference signals transmitted by the network device 42 may be received by the terminal 41 through each receiving beam of the four receiving beams. For example, the terminal 41 may receive the reference signal 1 transmitted by the network device 42 through the receiving beam 5, the reference signal 2 transmitted by the network device 42 through the receiving beam 6, the reference signal 3 transmitted by the network device 42 through the receiving beam 7, and the reference signal 4 transmitted by the network device 42 through the receiving beam 8. That is, each receiving beam is configured to receive and measure at least one reference signal. In addition, an identifier of at least one reference signal measured by each receiving beam and signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal are reported and information of the receiving beam of the signal quality corresponding to the identifier of the reference signal is obtained. For example, the reference signal 1 and the receiving beam 5, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 1 are reported. The reference signal 2 and the receiving beam 6, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 2 are reported. The reference signal 3 and the receiving beam 7, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 3 are reported. The reference signal 4 and the receiving beam 8, and the signal quality of the corresponding reference signal 4 are reported.

The signal quality of the reference signal received by the terminal through the at least one receiving beam refers to the measurement for the L1-RSRP of the reference signal or the L1-SINR of the reference signal.

In some embodiments, after receiving the identifier of the reference signal, the information of the receiving beam, and the signal quality of the identifier of the reference signal reported by the terminal device, the network device sorts the signal quality of the at least one reference signal according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and/or the identifier of the reference signal, and determines the signal quality of other reference signals based on the sorted signal quality of the reference signals and a signal quality prediction model.

Since the identifier of the at least one reference signal, the signal quality of the reference signal and information of the corresponding receiving beam are obtained by the network device, the network device can determine the receiving beam through which the terminal receives the at least one reference signal and signal quality of each reference signal. In this way, while determining the signal quality of other reference signals, the network device can sort the reported signal quality of the reference signal(s) based on the beam information of the receiving beam(s) reported by the terminal, to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals.

It should be noted that the signal quality prediction model in the embodiment of the present disclosure is pre-stored in the network device. Alternatively, the signal quality prediction model in the embodiment of the present disclosure is stored in a server and is transmitted to the network device by the server. Then the signal quality of the reference signal is predicted by the network device based on the signal quality prediction model.

For the process of determining the signal quality of the other reference signals by the network device via the signal quality prediction model, the network device may sort the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and/or the identifier of the reference signal. For the reported signal quality of the reference signal, each reported signal quality of the reference signal corresponds to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and the identifier of the reference signal, and the signal quality of other reference signals may be predicted by the signal quality prediction model. The predicted signal quality of the other reference signals may include signal quality corresponding to all combinations of receiving beams and reference signals of the corresponding terminal, or signal quality corresponding to some combinations of receiving beams and reference signals of the corresponding terminal. For example, the obtained strongest signal quality of each reference signal may be predicted when all receiving beams are used to receive each of the reference signals.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each receiving beam of the terminal corresponds to an identifier. When the signal quality of the other reference signals are determined based on the at least one receiving beam and the signal quality of the reference signal received through the receiving beam, the network device sorts the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier(s) of the receiving beam(s). Alternatively, the network device sorts the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier(s) of the reference signal(s). Alternatively, the network device sorts the reported signal quality of the reference signals according to the identifier(s) of the receiving beam(s) and the identifier(s) of the reference signal(s). Then, the sorted signal quality of the reference signals are inputted into the signal quality prediction model, to determine the signal quality of the other reference signals other than these reference signals.

The signal quality prediction model is configured to predict the signal quality of the reference signals received by all receiving beams, according to the signal quality of the reference signals received by some receiving beams and corresponding beam information of the receiving beams.

For example, according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are sorted to obtain the sorted matrix sequence. The matrix sequence is inputted into the signal quality prediction model to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals other than the at least one reference signal. Alternatively, according to the identifier of the reference signal, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are sorted to obtain the sorted matrix sequence. The matrix sequence is inputted into the signal quality prediction model to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals other than the at least one reference signal. Alternatively, according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal and the identifier of the reference signal, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are sorted to obtain the sorted matrix sequence. The sorted matrix sequence is inputted into the signal quality prediction model to obtain the signal quality of the other reference signals other than the at least one reference signal.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when sorting the signal quality of the at least one reference signal, signal quality of a reference signal is set as 0 in a case where the signal quality of the reference signal is not measured.

For example, when the signal quality of the reference signals are sorted according to the identifier of the receiving beam and the identifier of the reference signal, the terminal has two receiving beams and four reference signals are transmitted by a base station, the matrix sequence inputted into the signal quality prediction model includes eight parameters. The eight parameters constitute a matrix sequence with one column and eight rows, that is, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station.

For the matrix inputted to the signal quality prediction model, the 8 signal quality in the matrix are set as follows: for the reference signal and receiving beam combinations for which the terminal has reported the signal quality, the corresponding parameters in the matrix are set to the signal quality of those reference signals. For the reference signal and receiving beam combinations for which the terminal has not reported the signal quality, the corresponding parameters in the matrix are set to 0. Subsequently, the signal quality prediction model processes the inputted matrix and obtains an output matrix, from which the signal quality of all reference signals can be determined.

For example, after the signal quality of the reference signals are sorted by the network device according to the identifier of the receiving beam and the identifier of the reference signal, the matrix obtained is as follows:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#l}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#2}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#3}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#4}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#5}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#6}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#7}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#8}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#2}\\ 0\\ 0\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#5}\\ 0\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#7}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#8}\end{array}\right]$

The obtained matrix is inputted into the signal quality prediction model, and based on the signal quality prediction model, the processed matrix is outputted as follows:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#l}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#2}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#3}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#4}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#5}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#6}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#7}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#8}\end{array}\right]$

The matrix may denote the signal quality of the reference signals.

In the solution according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the signal quality of the reference signals are sorted according to the identifier of the reference signal and/or the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal, the signal quality of the other reference signals are determined according to the sorted signal quality of the reference signals and the signal quality prediction model. Since the signal quality of the other reference signals can be determined by the signal quality prediction model according to signal quality of some of the reference signals and beam information of the corresponding receiving beams, the accuracy of the signal quality determined is improved.

In some embodiments, the signal quality of the at least one reference signal are grouped by the network device according to the identifier of the receiving beam of the terminal or the identifier of the reference signal. Based on the signal quality of the reference signals that are grouped and the signal quality prediction model, signal quality of other reference signals with the same beam information as the receiving beam corresponding to the at least one reference signal are determined.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each receiving beam corresponds to an identifier. When determining the signal quality of the other reference signals, the signal quality of reference signals received through these receiving beams are first grouped according to the identifier of the receiving beam, to obtain the signal quality of the reference signals in different groups. Then the signal quality of the other reference signals with the same beam information as the receiving beam corresponding to the at least one reference signal are determined according to the grouped signal quality of the reference signals and the signal quality prediction model. Alternatively, when determining the signal quality of the other reference signals, the signal quality of reference signals that are received through these receiving beams are first grouped according to the identifier of the reference signal, to obtain the signal quality of the reference signals in different groups. Then the signal quality of the other reference signals with the same identifier of the reference signal corresponding to the at least one reference signal are determined according to the grouped signal quality of the reference signals and the signal quality prediction model.

For example, description is made with as an example of grouping the signal quality according to the identifier of the receiving beam. In a case where there are eight signal quality, i.e., the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station.

According to the solution according to the example of the present disclosure, the signal quality belonging to the receiving beam 1 are divided into one group. In other words, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station are grouped into one group. The receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 1 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 2 of the base station, the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 3 of the base station, and the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the signal quality corresponding to the reference signal 4 of the base station are grouped into another group.

The solution for predicting the signal quality of the reference signal in the embodiment of the present disclosure is similar to the embodiments described above, which will not be repeated here.

FIG. 8 illustrates a flowchart of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 8, the method includes: step 801: beam information of at least one receiving beam is transmitted to the network device by the terminal.

The terminal measures reference signals based on reference signal resources configured by the network device, to determine reference signal quality of reference signals transmitted by the network device. When these reference signals are measured by the terminal, the reference signal quality of the reference signal may be measured by the terminal with receiving beams of the at least one receiving beam of the terminal for each reference signal. After the measurement, the beam information of these receiving beams may be further reported by the terminal, and then the beam information of the receiving beams reported by the terminal is received by the network device.

In some embodiments, the reference signal resource configured for the terminal by the network device is the CSI-RS resource, or the reference signal resource is the SSB resource. Accordingly, the reference signal transmitted to the terminal by the network device is the CSI-RS signal in a case where the reference signal resource configured for the terminal by the network device is the CSI-RS resource; and the reference signal transmitted to the terminal by the network device is the SSB in a case where the reference signal resource configured for the terminal by the network device is the SSB resource, which is not limited in the example of the present disclosure.

Each receiving beam may be indicated by an identifier. For example, the identifier of the receiving beam is the receiving beam ID.

With reference to FIG. 4, the terminal includes four receiving beams, i.e., the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7 and the receiving beam 8. In other words, the receiving beam 5, the receiving beam 6, the receiving beam 7, and the receiving beam 8 may be reported by the terminal, thereby these four receiving beams are indicated accordingly.

• • (2) A value of a first azimuth angle.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first azimuth angle of the receiving beams has a numerical value, and the beam information includes the first azimuth angle corresponding to each receiving beam.

• • (3) An identifier of the first azimuth angle.

In other words, the identifier of the first azimuth angle has a correspondence relationship with the numerical value of the first azimuth angle, where the first azimuth angle may be determined according to the identifier of the first azimuth angle and the correspondence relationship.

It should be noted that there is an implicit correspondence relationship between the first azimuth angle and the receiving beam in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In other words, after the value of the first azimuth angle or the identifier of the first azimuth angle are reported by the terminal, the network device may determine the identifier of the corresponding receiving beam according to the value of the first azimuth angle or the identifier of the first azimuth angle. Subsequently, the network device may predict the signal quality of other reference signals according to the determined identifier of the receiving beam and the signal quality prediction model.

• • (4) A value of a second azimuth angle.

Alternatively, the first azimuth angle is an angle in a vertical dimension and the second azimuth angle is an angle in a horizontal dimension.

• • (7) The total number of the first azimuth angles.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the total number of the first azimuth angles reported by the terminal is the number of the first azimuth angles having different numerical values that are used by the terminal. The first azimuth angle is a first azimuth angle corresponding to the receiving beam of the terminal. The number of the first azimuth angles used by the terminal may be reported by the terminal, so that the network device determines the number of the first azimuth angles used by the terminal. In addition, the network device may further determine the numerical value of each first azimuth angle based on the total number of the first azimuth angles.

In some embodiments, after the total number of the first azimuth angles is determined, the numerical value of each first azimuth angle may be determined according to an angular range of the first azimuth angles and the total number of the first azimuth angles.

Optionally, the total number of the first azimuth angles is obtained, and then the angular range of the first azimuth angles is obtained, to determine an angular interval between two adjacent first azimuth angles, and then the numerical value of each first azimuth angle is determined based on the angular interval.

In this case, an angle of a first first azimuth angle is 90 degrees, an angle of a second first azimuth angle is 45 degrees, an angle of a third first azimuth angle is 0 degrees, an angle of a fourth first azimuth angle is-45 degrees, and an angle of a fifth first azimuth angle is-90 degrees.

It should be noted that the angular range of the first azimuth angle in the embodiment of the present disclosure is included in the beam information, or the angular range of the first azimuth angle is specified by a protocol, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In addition, after the total number of the first azimuth angles and the angular range of the first azimuth angle are provided according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the numerical value of each first azimuth angle may be determined. Since there is an implicit correspondence relationship between the first azimuth angle and the receiving beam, the identifier of the receiving beam corresponding to each first azimuth angle may be determined by the network device, and the signal quality of the other reference signals may be subsequently predicted by the network device according to the determined identifier of the receiving beam and the signal quality prediction model.

• • (8) The total number of the second azimuth angles.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the total number of the second azimuth angles reported by the terminal is the number of the second azimuth angles having different numerical values used by the terminal. The second azimuth angle is a second azimuth angle corresponding to the receiving beam of the terminal. The number of the second azimuth angles used by the terminal may be reported by the terminal, and then the number of the second azimuth angles used by the terminal may be determined by the network device. In addition, the numerical value of each second azimuth angle may be further determined by the network device based on the total number of the second azimuth angles.

In some embodiments, after the total number of the second azimuth angles is determined, the numerical value of each second azimuth angle may be determined according to an angular range of the second azimuth angles and the total number of the second azimuth angles.

Optionally, the total number of the second azimuth angles is obtained, and then the angular range of the second azimuth angles is obtained, to determine an angular interval between two adjacent second azimuth angles. Then the numerical value of each second azimuth angle is determined based on the angular interval.

For example, in a case where the angular range of the second azimuth angle ranges from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, and the total number of the second azimuth angles is four, the angular interval between two adjacent second azimuth angles is determined to be 30 degrees. In this case, an angle of a first second azimuth angle is 0 degrees, an angle of a second second azimuth angle is 30 degrees, an angle of a third second azimuth angle is 60 degrees, and an angle of a fourth second azimuth angle is 90 degrees.

It should be noted that the angular range of the second azimuth angle in the embodiment of the present disclosure is included in the beam information, or the angular range of the second azimuth angle is specified by a protocol, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In addition, after the total number of the second azimuth angles and the angular range of the second azimuth angle are provided according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the numerical value of each second azimuth angle may be determined.

Each antenna panel also has a corresponding identifier, and the antenna panel can be indicated by the identifier of the antenna panel.

Measurement results of some reference signals are used in the inputted matrix of n rows and 1 column input, and the remaining are all 0. In addition, the order of the signal quality of reference signals in the matrix of n rows and 1 column is sorted according to the identifiers of the reference signals and the identifiers of the receiving beams.

For example, four reference signals, i.e., the reference signal 1, the reference signal 2, the reference signal 3 and the reference signal 4, are transmitted by the network device. And, the terminal includes two receiving beams, i.e., the receiving beam 1 and the receiving beam 2. In this case, there are eight measurement results of the reference signals according to the combinations of the reference signals and the receiving beams. In other words, a matrix of 8 rows and 1 column may be generated.

The first four measurement results in the matrix are measurement results of four reference signals of the network device corresponding to the receiving beam 1 of the terminal.

The last four measurement results in the matrix are measurement results of four reference signals of the network device corresponding to the receiving beam 2 of the terminal. For example, this matrix is indicated by a matrix as follows:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#l}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#2}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#3}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#4}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#5}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#6}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#7}\\ \mathrm{RSRP}\mathrm{\#8}\end{array}\right].$

• • In the matrix, RSRP #1 corresponds to the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the reference signal 1;
  • RSRP #2 corresponds to the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the reference signal 2;
  • RSRP #3 corresponds to the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the reference signal 3;
  • RSRP #4 corresponds to the receiving beam 1 of the terminal and the reference signal 4;
  • RSRP #5 corresponds to the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the reference signal 1;
  • RSRP #6 corresponds to the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the reference signal 2;
  • RSRP #7 corresponds to the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the reference signal 3; and
  • RSRP #8 corresponds to the receiving beam 2 of the terminal and the reference signal 4.
