`ABSTRACT
`
`A UE receives a target radio signal, transmits a first radio
`signal on a first channel, transmits a second radio signal on
`a second channel, and monitors a third radio signal in a first
`time window. A measurement for the target radio signal is
`used for triggering the transmission of the first radio signal
`and the second radio signal; a time resource occupied by the
`first radio signal is used for determining the start time of the
`first time window; and a time resource occupied by the
`second radio signal is used for determining the end time of
`the first time window. The application of the present disclo(cid:173)
`sure can make full use of the allocated aerial resources, and
`improve the utilization of the aerial resources configured to
`transmit a report request that is determined autonomously by
`the UE.

`METHOD AND DEVICE IN UE AND BASE

`COMMUNICATION
`
`CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED
`APPLICATION
`
`This application claims the priority benefit of Chinese
`Patent Application Serial Number 201710686330.4, filed on
`Aug. 11, 2017, the full disclosure of which is incorporated
`herein by reference.
`
`BACKGROUD
`
`Technical Field
`
`The present disclosure relates to transmission schemes of
`radio signals in wireless communication systems, and in
`particular to a method and a device for a User Equipment
`(UE) to autonomously determine transmission of informa(cid:173)
`tion.
`
`Related Art
`
`Massive Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) becomes a 25
`research hotspot of next-generation mobile communica(cid:173)
`tions. In the massive MIMO, multiple antennas experience
`beamforming to form a relatively narrow beam which points
`to a particular direction to improve the quality of commu(cid:173)
`nication.
`In 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP) New Radio
`discussion, there is some company proposing that a UE
`should conduct a measurement on a service beam during the
`communication process and that, when the quality of the
`service beam is found degraded, a Physical Uplink Control 35
`Channel (PUCCH) and a Physical Random Access Channel
`(PRACH) like contention-free channel should be used by the
`UE to transmit a beam recovery request to a base station,
`which then changes the service beam.
`

`Herein, a measurement for the target radio signal is used
`for triggering the transmission of the first radio signal and
`the second radio signal; a time resource occupied by the first
`radio signal is used for determining the start time of the first
`time window; and a time resource occupied by the second
`radio signal is used for determining the end time of the first
`time window.
`In one embodiment, the above method is advantageous in
`improving the utilization of the aerial resources configured
`10 to transmit a report request that is determined autonomously
`by the UE.
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal is transmitted
`on a physical layer control channel (that is, a physical layer
`15 channel capable of transmitting control information only).
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal carries Down(cid:173)
`link Control Information (DCI).
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal is transmitted
`on a physical layer data channel (that is, a physical layer
`20 channel capable of transmitting data information only) or a
`physical layer shared channel (that is, a physical layer
`channel used for transmitting data or control information).
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal is a reference
`signal.
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal is a Demodu(cid:173)
`lation Reference Signal (DMRS) of a physical layer control
`channel.
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal is a DMRS of
`a physical layer shared channel.
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal is a Channel
`State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) used for con(cid:173)
`ducting a channel quality measurement of a physical layer
`control channel.
`In one embodiment, the target radio signal is a Synchro(cid:173)
`nization Signal (SS) used for conducting a channel quality
`measurement of a physical layer control channel.
`In one embodiment, the multi-antenna related transmit(cid:173)
`ting of a physical layer control channel is related to the
`multi-antenna related transmitting of the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, an antenna port used for transmitting
`a physical layer control channel is spatially related to an
`antenna port used for transmitting the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, an antenna port used for transmitting
`a physical layer control channel is spatially Quasi Co-
`45 Located (QCL) with an antenna port used for transmitting
`the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, an analog transmitting beam used for
`transmitting a physical layer control channel is used for
`transmitting the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, an analog receiving beam used for
`receiving a physical layer control channel is used for receiv(cid:173)
`ing the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, the multi-antenna related transmit(cid:173)
`ting of a physical layer shared channel is related to the
`55 multi-antenna related transmitting of the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, an antenna port used for transmitting
`a physical layer shared channel is spatially Quasi Co(cid:173)
`Located (QCL) with an antenna port used for transmitting
`the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, an analog transmitting beam used for
`transmitting a physical layer shared channel is used for
`transmitting the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, an analog receiving beam used for
`receiving a physical layer shared channel is used for receiv-
`65 ing the target radio signal.
`In one embodiment, the being spatially related refers to
`using the same analog beam to transmit signaling or data.
`
`SUMMARY
`
`The inventor finds through researches that: if a UE, after
`using one channel to transmit a beam recovery request,
`cannot transmit the beam recovery request again during the
`time window of waiting a response, then a time-frequency
`resource configured within the time window of waiting the
`response to transmit a beam recovery request cannot be used
`by the UE to transmit a beam recovery request, which
`consequently results in a low utilization of the time-fre- 50
`quency resource configured for transmitting the beam recov(cid:173)
`ery request.
`In view of the above problems, the present disclosure
`provides a solution. It should be noted that the embodiments
`of the present disclosure and the characteristics in the
`embodiments may be mutually combined if no conflict is
`caused. For example, the embodiments of the UE of the
`present disclosure and the characteristics in the embodi(cid:173)
`ments may be applied to the base station, and vice versa.
`The present disclosure provides a method in a UE for 60
`wireless communication. The method includes the following
`steps of:
`receiving a target radio signal;
`transmitting a first radio signal on a first channel;
`transmitting a second radio signal on a second channel;
`and
`monitoring a third radio signal in a first time window.
