Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information reporting method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has revolutionized wireless base stations, overcoming the limitations of traditional base stations, reducing operating costs, and improving base station performance. AI models can be used to assist in beam management. For example, the process of spatial downlink beam prediction can be as follows: During the training phase, the base station scans beams, and the user equipment (UE) determines the optimal beam identifier (ID). After training, the base station scans a small number of beams, and the UE provides the IDs of the top K beams (called Top-K beams) with the best performance. The base station then scans these beams to ultimately determine the optimal beam ID.

[0003] In the above process, the quantization and reporting of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) is a key factor affecting the signaling overhead in beam prediction. In the prior art, a fixed quantization step size is usually used to encode the RSRP value. This method has poor flexibility and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the actual distribution characteristics of the RSRP value. As a result, the quantization step size has a low degree of fit with the actual distribution characteristics of the RSRP value. A small quantization step size will lead to a large data collection overhead, while a large quantization step size will lead to a decrease in beam prediction accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an information reporting method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product, which can solve the problem of low adaptability between the quantization step size and the actual distribution characteristics of RSRP values ​​in the existing RSRP quantization reporting process.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an information reporting method, the method comprising: Obtain quantitative configuration information; Based on the quantization configuration information and the received power RSRP set of the reference signal to be fed back, the target quantization step size set is determined from the preset quantization step size set; The RSRP set to be fed back is quantized based on the target quantization step size set to obtain the first quantized RSRP set. Send the first quantized RSRP set to the network-side device.

[0006] Optionally, the step of quantizing the RSRP set to be fed back based on the target quantization step size set to obtain a first quantized RSRP set includes: The RSRP set to be fed back is quantized based on the target quantization step size set to obtain a second quantized RSRP set; Obtain a preset set of quantization table numbers corresponding to the target quantization step size set, wherein each quantization table number in the preset quantization table number set corresponds to a quantization table and a quantization step size; Based on the preset quantization table sequence number set, add the corresponding quantization table sequence number to each quantization interval in the second quantization RSRP set to obtain the first quantization RSRP set.

[0007] Optionally, the quantization configuration information includes at least one of the optimal interval element number threshold set and the optimal level interval threshold set; The step of determining the target quantization step size set from the preset quantization step size set based on the quantization configuration information and the RSRP set to be fed back includes: The RSRP set to be fed back is quantized based on the maximum quantization step size in the preset quantization step size set to obtain a first quantization set. The first quantization set includes a first quantization interval and a second quantization interval. The first quantization interval is the quantization interval with the largest corresponding level value in the first quantization set, and the second quantization interval is any quantization interval in the first quantization set other than the first quantization interval. Based on the optimal interval element number threshold set and the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval, the first quantization step size corresponding to the first quantization interval is determined. Based on the optimal level interval threshold set, the level value of the first quantization interval, and the level value of the second quantization interval, the second quantization step size corresponding to the second quantization interval is determined; The target quantization step size set is obtained based on the first quantization step size and the second quantization step size.

[0008] Optionally, the optimal interval element quantity threshold set includes a first quantity threshold, a second quantity threshold, a third quantity threshold, and a fourth quantity threshold, ordered from smallest to largest. The step of determining the first quantization step size corresponding to the first quantization interval based on the optimal interval element number threshold set and the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval includes: If the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the first quantity threshold and less than the second quantity threshold, the maximum quantization step size is determined as the first quantization step size. If the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the second quantity threshold and less than the third quantity threshold, a third quantization step size smaller than the maximum quantization step size is selected from the preset quantization step size set to quantize the elements in the first quantization interval, thereby obtaining an adjusted first quantization interval. This process continues until the number of elements contained in the adjusted first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the first quantity threshold and less than the second quantity threshold, at which point the third quantization step size is determined as the first quantization step size. If the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the fourth quantity threshold, the minimum quantization step size in the preset quantization step size set is determined as the first quantization step size.

[0009] Optionally, the optimal level interval threshold set includes a first barrier value, a second barrier value, a third barrier value, and a fourth barrier value, which are ordered from smallest to largest. The step of determining the second quantization step size corresponding to the second quantization interval based on the optimal level interval threshold set, the level value of the first quantization interval, and the level value of the second quantization interval includes: The difference between the level value of the first quantization interval and the level value of the second quantization interval is determined as the optimal level interval value; If the optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the first barrier value and less than the second barrier value, the maximum quantization step size is determined as the second quantization step size; When the optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the second barrier value and less than the third barrier value, a fourth quantization step size smaller than the maximum quantization step size is sequentially selected from the preset quantization step size set to quantize the elements of the second quantization interval, thereby obtaining the adjusted second quantization interval and the adjusted optimal level interval value. When the adjusted optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the first barrier value and less than the second barrier value, the fourth quantization step size is determined as the second quantization step size. If the optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the fourth barrier value, the minimum quantization step size in the preset quantization step size set is determined as the second quantization step size.

[0010] Optionally, obtaining the quantitative configuration information includes: In response to the multi-resolution quantization capability query request sent by the network-side device, the user equipment sends first information to the network-side device, wherein the multi-resolution quantization capability refers to the user equipment's ability to process and report information using different quantization step sizes; When the first information indicates that the user equipment supports multi-resolution quantization, the quantization configuration information sent by the network-side device is received.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an information reporting device, the device comprising: The acquisition module is used to acquire quantitative configuration information; The determination module is used to determine the target quantization step size set from the preset quantization step size set based on the quantization configuration information and the received power RSRP set of the reference signal to be fed back. The quantization module is used to quantize the RSRP set to be fed back based on the target quantization step size set to obtain a first quantized RSRP set. The sending module is used to send the first quantized RSRP set to the network-side device.

[0012] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide an electronic device, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the information reporting method as described in the first aspect.

[0013] Fourthly, embodiments of this application also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the information reporting method as described in the first aspect.

[0014] Fifthly, a computer program product is provided, including computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the information reporting method as described in the first aspect.

[0015] In this embodiment, quantization configuration information is obtained; based on the quantization configuration information and the received reference signal power (RSRP) set to be fed back, a target quantization step size set is determined from a preset quantization step size set; the RSRP set to be fed back is quantized based on the target quantization step size set to obtain a first quantized RSRP set; and the first quantized RSRP set is sent to the network-side device. The method of using the quantization configuration information and the RSRP set to be fed back to determine the target quantization step size set from the preset quantization step size set takes into account the data reporting requirements of the network-side device and the actual distribution characteristics of the RSRPs. This increases the matching degree between the target quantization step size set and the quantization configuration information and the actual distribution characteristics of the RSRP set to be fed back, thereby reducing data reporting overhead and improving beam prediction accuracy.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] This application provides an information reporting method.

[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the information reporting method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps: Step 101: Obtain quantitative configuration information.

[0021] The method in this embodiment can be executed by a user equipment (UE). The UE can configure the quantization configuration information itself, or the UE can receive quantization configuration information sent by a network-side device (NW). The quantization configuration information can be used to indicate the requirements for the quantized RSRP data reported by the UE. For example, it can require that the amount of data in each quantized interval of the RSRP data reported by the UE cannot exceed a certain value. The NW can include access network devices or core network devices. Access network devices can include base stations, wireless local area network (WLAN) access points, etc.

[0022] The UE can quantize the RSRP based on the quantization configuration information. This approach has at least the following advantages: The NW dynamically adjusts the quantization parameters (such as step size, interval, and resolution) according to the current cell load, interference environment, and service quality requirements, guiding the UE to convert the RSRP into quantized codewords in the most appropriate way before reporting, thereby better serving network scheduling and resource allocation. For example, in sudden scenarios or network congestion, the quantization configuration information can be temporarily adjusted instead of the UE using a fixed quantization configuration, which can reduce reporting overhead and maintain network stability. In different scenarios such as dense urban areas, edge coverage, and hotspot areas, different levels of granularity and quantization strategies may be required. The NW remotely disseminating the quantization configuration information instead of the UE using a fixed quantization configuration allows the UE to adapt to the NW's needs in different scenarios.

[0023] The quantization configuration information can be configured from the NW to the UE through the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, the Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC-CE) layer, and the Downlink Control Information (DCI).

[0024] Step 102: Based on the quantization configuration information and the received power RSRP set of the reference signal to be fed back, determine the target quantization step size set from the preset quantization step size set.

[0025] In this step, the preset quantization step size set is a set of quantization step sizes that the UE can support for quantizing data. For example, the first UE can support quantization step sizes of 1dB, 2dB, and 4dB to quantize data, and the preset quantization step size set of the first UE is (1dB, 2dB, 4dB); for example, the second UE can support quantization step sizes of 5dB and 10dB to quantize data, and the preset quantization step size set of the second UE is (5dB, 10dB).

[0026] The target quantization step size set refers to the set of quantization step sizes selected from the preset quantization step size set that meet the requirements of the RSRP set to be fed back and the quantization configuration information. For example, if the quantization configuration information is "the amount of data included in each quantization interval in the RSRP data reported by the UE cannot exceed a certain value", for the first UE, a quantization step size of 4dB is used in the preset quantization step size set to quantize the RSRP set to be fed back. The quantized RSRP set corresponding to the 4dB quantization step size includes a first quantization interval and a second quantization interval. The number of elements in the second quantization interval does not exceed the "certain value", so the quantization step size of 4dB is maintained. If the number of elements in the first quantization interval exceeds the "certain value", it means that the 4dB quantization step size is too large. Other quantization step sizes in the preset quantization step size set can be used to quantize the total number of elements in the first quantization interval to find a quantization step size that meets the requirements. The 4dB quantization step size corresponding to the second quantization interval and the quantization step size that meets the requirements are taken as the target quantization step size.

[0027] Step 103: Quantize the RSRP set to be fed back based on the target quantization step size set to obtain the first quantized RSRP set.

[0028] In this step, quantization refers to the process of converting continuous values ​​into discrete values, such as dividing a score from 0 to 100 into A / B / C / D levels. In digital communication, many physical parameters (such as RSRP) are originally continuous, but during transmission and processing, they are converted into a finite number of levels (quantization levels). The quantization step size refers to the size of the interval between every two adjacent levels. The smaller the step size, the finer the quantization; the larger the step size, the coarser the quantization.

[0029] The following example illustrates "quantification": 1. Define a quantization step size, for example, a step size of 1dB, which can be understood as each 1dB being a level.

[0030] 2. Divide the actual measurement range of the entire RSRP into several levels using the quantization step size. For example, if the measurement range is -140 dBm to -40 dBm, with a step size of 1 dB, divide it into 100 levels (or 50 levels if the step size is 2 dB).

[0031] 3. The measured continuous RSRP values ​​to be fed back are divided into their respective level intervals. For example, if the measured RSRP is -87.3 dBm, it can be divided into the level interval of -88 to -87 dBm, encoded as level 51. When the UE reports, for the RSRP "-87.3 dBm", only level "51" needs to be reported, without transmitting the actual value. Each RSRP in the set to be fed back is divided according to the same principle. For example, 200 data points are divided into 20 level intervals. The UE reports the level interval number containing the data and the number of elements, realizing the quantized reporting of the RSRP set to be fed back. Quantization reduces the reporting signaling length, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

[0032] Step 104: Send the first quantized RSRP set to the network-side device.

[0033] The UE sends the first quantized RSRP set obtained from the quantization process to the NW.

[0034] In the method of this application embodiment, the target quantization step size set is determined from the preset quantization step size set by using quantization configuration information and the RSRP set to be fed back. At the same time, the data requirements of the network-side device for reporting and the actual distribution characteristics of RSRP are taken into account. This can increase the matching degree between the target quantization step size set and the quantization configuration information and the actual distribution characteristics of the RSRP set to be fed back, thereby reducing data reporting overhead and improving beam prediction accuracy.

[0035] Optionally, the step of quantizing the RSRP set to be fed back based on the target quantization step size set to obtain a first quantized RSRP set includes: The RSRP set to be fed back is quantized based on the target quantization step size set to obtain a second quantized RSRP set; Obtain a preset set of quantization table numbers corresponding to the target quantization step size set, wherein each quantization table number in the preset quantization table number set corresponds to a quantization table and a quantization step size; Based on the preset quantization table sequence number set, add the corresponding quantization table sequence number to each quantization interval in the second quantization RSRP set to obtain the first quantization RSRP set.

[0036] In this embodiment, multiple quantization tables with different quantization step sizes can be preset. The following are four preset quantization tables with quantization step sizes of 1dB, 2dB, 6dB, and 10dB.

[0037] Table 1: Quantization step size is 1dB.

[0038] Table 1 (Table1): SS-RSRP and CSI-RSRP measurement report mapping (step=1dB): Table 2: Quantization step size is 2dB.

[0039] Table 2 (Table2): SS-RSRP and CSI-RSRP measurement report mapping (step=2dB): Table 3: Quantization step size is 5dB.

[0040] Table 3 (Table3): SS-RSRP and CSI-RSRP measurement report mapping (step=5dB): Table 4: Quantization step size is 10dB.

[0041] Table 4 (Table4): SS-RSRP and CSI-RSRP measurement report mapping (step=10dB): The NW can send the aforementioned preset quantization table and preset quantization table number to the UE, so that after the UE determines the target quantization step size and quantizes the RSRP set to be fed back, it can store the relevant data in the form of the corresponding quantization table. Understandably, since the quantization step size used in different quantization intervals in the second quantization RSRP set may be different, the quantization table number added to the quantization interval will also be different.

[0042] The UE sends the first quantized RSRP set, stored in the form of a corresponding quantization table, and the corresponding quantization table sequence number to the NW. This consistency simplifies the NW's decoding process, reduces the bit error rate, and reduces the NW's need for complex calculations.

[0043] Optionally, the quantization configuration information includes at least one of the optimal interval element number threshold set and the optimal level interval threshold set; The step of determining the target quantization step size set from the preset quantization step size set based on the quantization configuration information and the RSRP set to be fed back includes: The RSRP set to be fed back is quantized based on the maximum quantization step size in the preset quantization step size set to obtain a first quantization set. The first quantization set includes a first quantization interval and a second quantization interval. The first quantization interval is the quantization interval with the largest corresponding level value in the first quantization set, and the second quantization interval is any quantization interval in the first quantization set other than the first quantization interval. Based on the optimal interval element number threshold set and the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval, the first quantization step size corresponding to the first quantization interval is determined. Based on the optimal level interval threshold set, the level value of the first quantization interval, and the level value of the second quantization interval, the second quantization step size corresponding to the second quantization interval is determined; The target quantization step size set is obtained based on the first quantization step size and the second quantization step size.

[0044] It should be noted that in actual operation, the numerical distribution of the RSRP set within the same measurement range is generally uneven. For example, if the measurement range is -140 dBm to -40 dBm, there are more values ​​between -140 dBm and -100 dBm, and fewer values ​​between -100 dBm and -40 dBm. This results in a large number of elements in the quantization interval between -140 dBm and -100 dBm, even exceeding the threshold set by the quantization configuration information; conversely, there are fewer elements or even none in the quantization interval between -100 dBm and -40 dBm. If a fixed quantization step size is used to quantize the RSRP set to be fed back, as in existing technologies, there will inevitably be a mismatch between the quantization step size and the actual distribution characteristics of the RSRP values. This leads to high data reporting overhead and inaccurate beam prediction accuracy.

[0045] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment first uses the maximum quantization step size to quantize the RSRP set to be fed back, resulting in a first quantization set. This first quantization set has the lowest quantization accuracy and contains the most elements in each quantization interval. Each quantization interval in the first quantization set is then analyzed using the optimal interval element count threshold set and the optimal level interval threshold set (equivalent to analyzing the RSRP distribution characteristics of different quantization intervals). This determines whether the current quantization step size of the quantization interval meets the requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, it is adjusted so that the target quantization step size satisfies the actual distribution characteristics of the RSRP set to be fed back and the requirements of the quantization configuration information.

[0046] Optionally, the optimal interval element quantity threshold set includes a first quantity threshold, a second quantity threshold, a third quantity threshold, and a fourth quantity threshold, ordered from smallest to largest. The step of determining the first quantization step size corresponding to the first quantization interval based on the optimal interval element number threshold set and the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval includes: If the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the first quantity threshold and less than the second quantity threshold, the maximum quantization step size is determined as the first quantization step size. If the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the second quantity threshold and less than the third quantity threshold, a third quantization step size smaller than the maximum quantization step size is selected from the preset quantization step size set to quantize the elements in the first quantization interval, thereby obtaining an adjusted first quantization interval. This process continues until the number of elements contained in the adjusted first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the first quantity threshold and less than the second quantity threshold, at which point the third quantization step size is determined as the first quantization step size. If the number of elements contained in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the fourth quantity threshold, the minimum quantization step size in the preset quantization step size set is determined as the first quantization step size.

[0047] The following example illustrates this embodiment: Let the preset quantization step size set be... ,in, , It is an integer greater than 1. The RSRP set to be fed back is denoted as... Quantization step size is The Each quantization interval is defined as , The larger, The higher the level value of the quantization range it represents, the better.

[0048] Treatment of feedback RSRP set According to the preset quantization step size set Maximum quantization step size Quantify and convert the corresponding Defense zone to corresponding quantization range .

[0049] For the first quantization interval (The number of elements in the quantization interval is not 0 and) (For the interval containing the maximum value), count the number of elements in the interval. .

[0050] exist In this case, The inner elements still use the maximum quantization step size. As its first quantization step size, where... The first quantity threshold, This is the second quantity threshold.

[0051] exist In this case, reduce the quantization step size. Inner element usage As the quantization step size, we obtain Similarly, we can obtain ,for The number of elements in the same way is also used. , , If the reduced quantization step size satisfies the condition of the third quantization step size, then the third quantization step size is determined as the first quantization step size, wherein... This is the third quantity threshold.

[0052] exist In this case, The inner elements use a preset quantization step size set. Minimum quantization step size As its first quantization step size, where... This is the fourth quantity threshold.

[0053] In this embodiment, if the number of elements in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the first quantity threshold and less than the second quantity threshold, it indicates that the number of elements in the first quantization interval is appropriate and sufficient for accurate beam analysis, requiring no modification. If the number of elements in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the second quantity threshold and less than the third quantity threshold, it indicates that the number of elements in the first quantization interval is slightly more than the NW requirement. The RSRP values ​​under different beams originally have slight but important differences, but after coarse quantization, they all become the same quantization codeword, resulting in a significant decrease in precision. This may lead to a decrease in beam prediction accuracy, requiring a reduction in the quantization step size to increase accuracy. If the number of elements in the first quantization interval is greater than or equal to the fourth quantity threshold, it indicates that most of the data in the RSRP set to be fed back is located in the first quantization interval, resulting in low accuracy. In this case, the minimum quantization step size is directly used as the first quantization step size to improve beam prediction accuracy, omitting the intermediate step of gradually reducing the quantization step size and reducing the computational load.

[0054] In this embodiment, the target quantization step size (i.e., the first quantization step size) can be determined for the first quantization interval.

[0055] Optionally, the optimal level interval threshold set includes a first barrier value, a second barrier value, a third barrier value, and a fourth barrier value, which are ordered from smallest to largest. The step of determining the second quantization step size corresponding to the second quantization interval based on the optimal level interval threshold set, the level value of the first quantization interval, and the level value of the second quantization interval includes: The difference between the level value of the first quantization interval and the level value of the second quantization interval is determined as the optimal level interval value; If the optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the first barrier value and less than the second barrier value, the maximum quantization step size is determined as the second quantization step size; When the optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the second barrier value and less than the third barrier value, a fourth quantization step size smaller than the maximum quantization step size is sequentially selected from the preset quantization step size set to quantize the elements of the second quantization interval, thereby obtaining the adjusted second quantization interval and the adjusted optimal level interval value. When the adjusted optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the first barrier value and less than the second barrier value, the fourth quantization step size is determined as the second quantization step size. If the optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the fourth barrier value, the minimum quantization step size in the preset quantization step size set is determined as the second quantization step size.

[0056] Based on the above-mentioned preset quantization step size set RSRP set awaiting feedback The method of this embodiment will be described as follows: For the quantization interval (The number of elements in the quantization interval is not 0 and) Calculate the optimal level interval value for the interval that is not the maximum value. ,in, This represents the level value of the first quantization interval. This indicates the level value of the second quantization interval.

[0057] exist In this case, The inner elements still use the maximum quantization step size. As its first quantization step size, where... The first barrier value, This is the second threshold value.

[0058] exist In this case, reduce the quantization step size. Inner element usage As the quantization step size, we obtain Similarly, we can obtain and The optimal level interval value between them, and for the new optimal level interval value, the same approach is adopted. , , The determination is made that if the reduced quantization step size meets the condition for the fourth quantization step size, then the fourth quantization step size is determined as the second quantization step size, wherein... This is the third threshold value.

[0059] exist In this case, The inner elements use a preset quantization step size set. Minimum quantization step size As its first quantization step size, where... This is the fourth threshold value.

[0060] If the optimal level interval value is greater than or equal to the first barrier value and less than the second barrier value, it indicates that the level difference between the second quantization interval and the first quantization interval is moderate, and the quantization interval divided by the quantization step size is reasonable.

[0061] If the optimal level interval is greater than or equal to the second threshold value and less than the third threshold value, it indicates that the level difference between the second quantization interval and the first quantization interval is slightly large. This suggests that the interval design span is too wide, and the content in the middle interval is insufficient. For beam prediction, if the measurements of different beams are concentrated in the low interval far from the maximum level, the strength comparison between different beams becomes unclear, and the ability to predict the optimal beam weakens. The system can only roughly judge that "they are all weak," unable to distinguish which is weaker, and is prone to selecting the wrong beam. Therefore, reducing the quantization step size can correspondingly improve the beam prediction accuracy.

[0062] If the optimal level interval is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold value, it indicates that the difference between the level of the second quantization interval and the level of the first quantization interval is too large, resulting in excessive beam prediction error. For example, some intervals may have a 10dB difference, containing the actual strength of multiple beams that could otherwise be distinguished. In this case, the actual optimal (but slightly stronger) and second-best beams will be compressed into the same level, losing the ability to sort fine-grained beams. The optimal beam is "buried" in the error, leading to misjudgment. In this situation, the minimum quantization step size is directly used as the second quantization step size to improve beam prediction accuracy, omitting the intermediate step of gradually decreasing the quantization step size and reducing the computational load.

[0063] In this embodiment, the target quantization step size (i.e., the second quantization step size) can be determined for the second quantization interval.

[0064] Optionally, obtaining the quantitative configuration information includes: In response to the multi-resolution quantization capability query request sent by the network-side device, the user equipment sends first information to the network-side device, wherein the multi-resolution quantization capability refers to the user equipment's ability to process and report information using different quantization step sizes; When the first information indicates that the user equipment supports multi-resolution quantization, the quantization configuration information sent by the network-side device is received.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, before the UE receives the quantization configuration information, the NW first performs a multi-resolution quantization capability query on the UE. Under the premise that the UE possesses multi-resolution quantization capability, it sends the quantization configuration information (optimal interval element number threshold set and optimal level interval threshold set) to the UE to ensure... Figure 1 The feasibility of the steps shown. It should be noted that... Figure 2 The UE reporting the multi-resolution quantized beam level value is equivalent to the UE sending the first quantized RSRP set to the network-side device.

[0066] After completing the multi-resolution quantization capability query for the UE, the NW can configure quantization configuration information to the UE through the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, the Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC-CE) layer, and the Downlink Control Information (DCI) layer.

[0067] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of an information reporting device provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the device 300 includes: Module 301 is used to acquire quantization configuration information; The determining module 302 is used to determine a target quantization step size set from a preset quantization step size set based on the quantization configuration information and the received power RSRP set of the reference signal to be fed back. Quantization module 303 is used to quantize the RSRP set to be fed back based on the target quantization step size set to obtain a first quantized RSRP set; The sending module 304 is used to send the first quantized RSRP set to the network-side device.
