[0111] The information processing method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0112] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an information processing method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0113] Step 201: The terminal receives first information sent by the first device entity; the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0114] First sub-information used to indicate the first processing method;

[0115] First auxiliary information used in the first processing method;

[0116] The result information is obtained based on the second processing method;

[0117] Instructions for requesting second sub-information, wherein the second sub-information is terminal-related information or information obtained by hiding information features of terminal-related information;

[0118] Instructions for requesting third sub-information, wherein the third sub-information is used to update the third processing method;

[0119] Wherein, the first information or the operation performed based on the first information is used to determine at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; beam or channel prediction related operation.

[0120] It should be understood that the aforementioned first information may include one or more of the following: first sub-information, first auxiliary information, result information, indication for requesting second sub-information, and indication for requesting third sub-information. When the first information includes multiple pieces of information, the multiple pieces of information may be transmitted through one or more signaling methods.

[0121] In this embodiment of the application, the first processing method described above may include a method for processing using a first neural network, wherein the first sub-information includes neural network-related information of the first neural network. Specifically, the first processing method can be used to infer terminal-related information to determine at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; beam or channel prediction related operation. For example, a beam or channel that needs to be measured can be determined, and based on the beam or channel that needs to be measured, at least one of the following can be performed: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting. Further, the first processing method can also be used to infer terminal-related information and second entity device-related information to determine at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; beam or channel prediction related operation. Thus, since the terminal can use the first processing method to infer terminal-related information, or terminal-related information and second entity device-related information, to determine at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; beam or channel prediction related operation. In this way, network-side devices can adjust the communication state of the terminal based on at least one of the measurement results of beam and channel and prediction-related operations to improve air interface performance. Here, the air interface can be understood as the air interface used for communication. It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned first information can directly carry the content of the first auxiliary information, or the first auxiliary information can be implicitly indicated through the network parameters of the first neural network.

[0122] Optionally, the aforementioned first and second physical devices can be understood as network-side physical devices. Specifically, the first and second physical devices can be the same physical device or different physical devices. In some embodiments, the first device entity is one or more network elements that collect and distribute information. For example, the first device entity includes a set of one or more of the following: a base station, a Location Management Function (LMF), a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), a first network element, and a second network element. The first network element is used to execute the second processing method, and the second network element is used for at least one of the following: collecting information required to execute the second processing method; and performing information calculation on the information required to execute the second processing method. The second device entity is used to provide network services to the terminal, and the second device entity is a base station, a core network device, or other network elements besides the base station and the core network device.

[0123] It should be understood that the aforementioned first processing method can be pre-agreed upon by the protocol or indicated by the first device entity through the aforementioned first sub-information. When the first information includes first auxiliary information for the first processing method, inferences can be made about terminal-related information and second entity device-related information based on the first processing method indicated by the first sub-information or the first processing method agreed upon by the protocol.

[0124] The aforementioned second processing method can be understood as a method used by the first device entity to reason about terminal-related information or terminal-related information and second entity device-related information to determine at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; beam or channel prediction related operation. The terminal can pre-interact with the first device entity to report terminal-related information, or report terminal-related information through second sub-information. The first device entity obtains corresponding result information based on the terminal-related information using the second processing method, thereby determining at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; beam or channel prediction related operation. In this way, the network-side device can adjust the terminal's communication state based on at least one of the beam and channel measurement results and prediction related operations to improve air interface performance.

[0125] The first and second processing methods described above can be the same or matched. Matching means that the input of the first processing method can include at least part of the output of the second processing method, and the first processing method is used to obtain the corresponding result. For example, the output of the second processing method is multiple beam information that needs to be measured, and the first processing method can further obtain the beam information that needs to be reported based on the output of the second processing method.

[0126] It should be understood that the aforementioned third processing method can be either the first or second processing method. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be understood as other processing methods, such as a processing method for information feature hiding. When the third processing method is the first processing method, the first device entity can perform corresponding processing based on the third sub-information reported by each terminal, such as update information for the first processing method, and then send the update information to the terminal for the terminal to update the first processing method. Assuming the third processing method is the second processing method, the first device entity can update the second processing method based on the third information reported by each terminal.

[0127] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first information includes an indication for requesting third sub-information, the terminal can determine the third sub-information based on its own beam measurement results and terminal-related information. Specifically, the beam measurement results and terminal-related information can be used as the third sub-information, or the beam measurement results and terminal-related information can be used to train the third processing method, and the resulting parameter information for updating the third processing method can be used as the third sub-information. This can improve the accuracy of the result information obtained by reasoning using the third processing method.

[0128] It should be noted that the first information is used to determine relevant information, namely at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; beam or channel prediction related operations. This can be understood as the first information directly or indirectly determining relevant information. Indirectly determining relevant information can be understood as the first information being used to assist in determining relevant information. Operations performed based on the first information to determine relevant information can be understood as operations performed based on the first information directly or indirectly determining relevant information.

[0129] In this embodiment, a terminal receives first information sent by a first device entity. This first information includes at least one of the following: first sub-information for instructing a first processing method; first auxiliary information for the first processing method; result information obtained based on a second processing method; an indication for requesting second sub-information, where the second sub-information is terminal-related information or information obtained by hiding information features of terminal-related information; and an indication for requesting third sub-information, where the third sub-information is used to update the second processing method. The first information, or the operation performed based on the first information, is used to determine at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; and beam or channel prediction-related operations. Thus, by utilizing the first information to determine at least one of the following: beam or channel measurement; beam or channel measurement reporting; and beam or channel prediction-related operations, this embodiment can improve air interface performance.

[0130] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first processing method includes a method of processing using a first neural network, and the first sub-information includes neural network-related information of the first neural network.

[0131] Optionally, the neural network-related information includes at least one of the neural network structure and neural network parameters.

[0132] Optionally, the first sub-information includes update information for the first processing method.

[0133] In this embodiment, the update information of the first processing method can be either an updated first processing method or updated parameters within the first processing method. Since the first device entity indicates the update information for the first processing method through the first sub-information, the terminal can update the first processing method promptly, thereby improving the accuracy of the first processing method's inference. Therefore, this embodiment can further improve air interface performance.

[0134] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first auxiliary information satisfies any one of the following:

[0135] The first auxiliary information is obtained by processing the first target information through a first preset process;

[0136] The first auxiliary information is the first target information;

[0137] When the terminal and the first device entity are authenticated through a preset interactive authentication process, the first auxiliary information is the first target information;

[0138] The first target information includes information related to the second device entity or information obtained by performing a second preset processing on the information related to the second device entity.

[0139] In this embodiment, the first device entity and the second device entity can be the same device entity or different device entities. When the first device entity and the second device entity are different, the first device entity can first obtain the first target information. The following is a detailed description based on the case where the first device entity and the second device entity are different.

[0140] For example, the first device entity is a core network device, and the second device entity is a base station. The first device entity can send a request message to the second device entity to request relevant information from the second device entity. The second device entity can directly send the relevant information from the second device entity to the first device entity, or it can perform a second preset processing on the second device entity before sending it to the first device entity. In other words, the first device entity can send the first target information obtained from the second device entity to the terminal, or it can further process the first target information obtained from the second device entity before sending it to the terminal.

[0141] The second preset processing includes at least one of the following: encryption processing and feature abstraction processing using a preset neural network.

[0142] It should be understood that the processing method of the second preset process can be agreed upon by the protocol or indicated by the first device entity. For example, the processing method of the second preset process can be indicated in the above request information, or the processing method of the second preset process can be pre-configured for the second device entity before sending the request.

[0143] After receiving the first target information, the first device entity may send the first target information as first auxiliary information to the terminal; or, if the terminal and the first device entity are authenticated through a preset interaction process, the first target information may be sent as first auxiliary information to the terminal; or the first target information may be processed by a first preset process to obtain the first auxiliary information, and then the first auxiliary information may be sent to the terminal.

[0144] The processing method of the aforementioned first preset processing can be determined by protocol agreement, terminal instruction, or the first device entity, and is not further limited here. Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned first preset processing includes at least one of the following: encryption processing and feature abstraction processing using a preset neural network.

[0145] Optionally, the information related to the second device entity includes at least one of the following: measurement information of the second device entity, implementation information of the second device entity, and statistical information of the second device entity.

[0146] In this embodiment of the application, the second device entity implementation information includes at least one of the second device entity antenna configuration information, the second device entity beam direction information, and the second device entity position coordinate information;

[0147] Alternatively, the measurement information of the second device entity may include the measurement information obtained by the second device entity at the air interface;

[0148] Alternatively, the statistics of the second device entity may include statistics obtained by the second device entity from long-term measurements of the air interface.

[0149] Optionally, the information related to the second device entity includes at least one of the following: information about the terminal in the corresponding carrier or bandwidth portion; statistical information about a terminal in multiple carriers or bandwidth portions; and statistical information about multiple terminals.

[0150] Optionally, the input to the first processing method includes at least one of the following: terminal antenna information, terminal location information, and beam characteristics for measuring beam quality. The beam characteristics may be a radiation pattern.

[0151] The terminal's location information is highly correlated with Channel State Information (CSI) results, beam measurement results, and Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement results, and can effectively assist in CSI prediction and motion trajectory prediction.

[0152] The output of the first processing method is beam quality information in multiple directions. This beam quality information includes the beam identifier, beam direction, and beam signal strength.

[0153] In this embodiment, the first processing method is illustrated using a first neural network. This first neural network takes at least one of the following as input: terminal-specific implementation, terminal location information, and beam characteristics for measuring beam quality, and outputs beam quality. The beam quality can be a prediction of the beam signal quality in each direction without considering the beam's own radiation pattern, and may include the beam identifier, beam direction, and beam signal strength. The terminal can utilize this output's characterization of possible beam information, combined with its own different beam patterns, to determine the desired receiving beam. Based on the output of the first processing method, the beam measurement results can be reported to a first device entity or a second device entity.

[0154] Optionally, in some embodiments, before the terminal receives the first information sent by the first device entity, the method further includes:

[0155] The terminal sends a first request to the first device entity, the first request being used to obtain first information.

[0156] In this embodiment, the terminal can actively request to obtain the first information. Of course, in other embodiments, the first device entity can also periodically send the first information or trigger the first device entity to send the first information based on preset conditions.

[0157] Optionally, the first request carries second auxiliary information associated with the information feature hiding, the second auxiliary information being used to determine the second sub-information.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second auxiliary information includes a public key for encryption.

[0159] In this embodiment, the first information includes an indication for requesting the second sub-information, and the second sub-information is information obtained by hiding information features of terminal-related information. After the first device entity obtains the second auxiliary information, it can send the second auxiliary information to the second device entity. Of course, in other embodiments, the terminal can also directly send the second auxiliary information to the second device entity. The second device entity can perform corresponding processing operations based on the second auxiliary information. For example, after the second device entity performs a second preset processing (such as encryption processing) on ​​the relevant information of the second device entity, it sends the processed first target information to the first device entity.

[0160] Optionally, when the first information is an indication for requesting second sub-information, after the terminal receives the first information sent by the first device entity, the method further includes:

[0161] The terminal sends the second sub-information to the first device entity.

[0162] In this embodiment, the first device entity can use the second processing method to process the second sub-information to obtain a processing result, or it can aggregate the second sub-information with the acquired first target information and then feed the aggregated information back to the terminal. The terminal then uses the first processing method to perform corresponding processing.

[0163] Optionally, the terminal-related information includes at least one of the following: antenna-related information and terminal location information.

[0164] Optionally, the antenna-related information includes at least one of the following: number of panels, number of beams, beam identifiers, and radiation patterns of each beam.

[0165] Optionally, the second sub-information includes information obtained by aggregating the second device entity-related information and the terminal-related information.

[0166] In this embodiment, the terminal can obtain relevant information about the second device entity in advance. This information can be either unhidden or hidden, without further limitation. When the terminal receives an instruction to request the second sub-information, it can aggregate the second device entity's relevant information and the terminal's relevant information to obtain the second sub-information, and then send it to the first device entity for processing, such as using a second processing method for inference.

[0167] When the first information is the result information obtained based on the second processing method, before the terminal receives the first information sent by the first device entity, the method further includes:

[0168] The terminal sends beam measurement results and information obtained by hiding information features of terminal-related information to the first device entity. The beam measurement results and information obtained by hiding information features of terminal-related information are used to determine the result information.

[0169] In this embodiment, the terminal first sends the beam measurement results and information obtained by hiding terminal-related information features to a first device entity. The first device entity then uses the corresponding information to perform reasoning based on a second processing method to obtain result information, and sends the result back to the terminal. The terminal performs further processing based on this result information, and then sends the final result back to either the first or second device entity. For example, the result information may be multiple beams that need to be measured. The terminal can perform further measurements based on the multiple beams that need to be measured to obtain the corresponding results, and finally report the beam measurement results. In some embodiments, the result information may also be prediction information for each beam. The terminal performs further processing based on the prediction information for each beam to determine the beam information that needs to be reported. Of course, the terminal's behavior based on the result information includes, but is not limited to, the above situations, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0170] Optionally, where the third processing method includes a method for processing using a third neural network, and the first information is an indication for requesting third sub-information, after the terminal receives the first information sent by the first device entity, the method further includes:

[0171] The terminal sends the third sub-information to the first device entity, and the third sub-information is the network parameter update information of the third neural network.

[0172] In this embodiment of the application, when the third processing method is the first processing method, the above-mentioned third neural network can be understood as the first neural network. At this time, the first device entity can perform corresponding processing according to the third sub-information reported by each terminal to obtain network parameter update information; and send the network parameter update information to the terminal for updating. At this time, the network parameter update information can be carried in the above-mentioned first sub-information.

[0173] When the third processing method is the second processing method, the aforementioned third neural network can be understood as the second neural network associated with the second processing method. The first device entity can update the second neural network according to the third information reported by each terminal.

[0174] Optionally, in some embodiments, the network parameter update information is obtained by training the third neural network based on multiple beam measurement results and terminal implementation.

[0175] In this embodiment, the terminal can train the neural network based on multiple sets of ontology measurement results and the terminal implementation, so as to update the neural network of the terminal or the first device entity.

[0176] It should be noted that terminal implementation information also significantly impacts potential beam measurements. For example, the available beam information of a terminal greatly influences the amount of reference signal (RS) measurement resources required. Furthermore, terminal implementation information also significantly affects service prediction. For instance, when battery power is low, a terminal may reduce data consumption. Terminals with lower processing power may not use specific applications, while another type of terminal is more likely to trigger specific types of services. For example, gaming phone users are more likely to trigger specific game services at certain times and locations. Terminal implementation information is rarely exposed to the network side and cannot effectively assist in predicting such services.

[0177] To better understand this application, the following assumes that the first device entity is different from the second device, and that the second device entity is a base station, and provides a detailed explanation through some specific examples.

[0178] Example 1 includes the following process:

[0179] Step 1: The terminal requests neural network auxiliary information of the corresponding neural network from the first device entity. This neural network auxiliary information can be understood as the second sub-information mentioned above.

[0180] In this case, the neural network may be abstract enough that, in such specific applications, the terminal may have difficulty learning about the network implementation from the corresponding auxiliary information; or, the network and the terminal may establish sufficient trust through a specific interactive authentication process to ensure that such exposure does not pose a threat to the network.

[0181] Optionally, before or triggered by step 1 above, the first device entity requests corresponding data (i.e., information related to the second device entity) from the base station.

[0182] Optionally, the first device entity sends a corresponding computing network to the base station at the same time as or before requesting the corresponding data from the base station; the base station sends the corresponding data, or the data obtained by the corresponding data through the corresponding computing network, to the first device entity.

[0183] Step 2: The first device entity sends out the corresponding neural network auxiliary information.

[0184] Optionally, the neural network-assisted information includes data obtained from the base station, or data after further processing of the data obtained from the base station.

[0185] Optionally, the neural network auxiliary information includes a specific neural network that can take terminal-specific implementation as input, and / or terminal location information as input, and / or beam characteristics (e.g., radiation pattern) used by the terminal to measure beam quality as input, and output beam quality as output.

[0186] Furthermore, the output beam quality can predict the beam signal quality in each direction without considering the beam's own radiation pattern, including the corresponding beam identifier, the corresponding beam direction, and the corresponding beam signal strength; the terminal uses this output to characterize all possible beam information and, combined with its own different beam radiation patterns, provides the required receiving beam.

[0187] Step 3: The terminal performs corresponding inference based on the neural network-assisted information sent by the first device entity.

[0188] Step 4: The terminal reports the corresponding beam measurement results to the base station based on the reasoning results.

[0189] Example 2 includes the following process:

[0190] The terminal initiates a corresponding request to the first device entity.

[0191] The terminal sends the corresponding information to the first device entity after hiding its information features. Optionally, hiding the information features includes encrypting the information, which may include: the number of panels, the number of beams, the identifier for each beam, and the radiation pattern for each beam, etc. Optionally, the information may also include location information. Optionally, the required information needs to be pre-configured or agreed upon.

[0192] The terminal communicates with the first device entity by hiding auxiliary information, such as notifying the first device of public key information.

[0193] The first device entity initiates a corresponding data request to the base station and communicates with the base station to obtain information feature hiding auxiliary information for related processing, or the terminal directly communicates with the base station to obtain information feature hiding auxiliary information.

[0194] The base station uses the acquired auxiliary information to perform corresponding processing, hides the information features, and then sends it to the first entity. Optionally, under predefined conditions (such as authentication and authorization conditions), the information features are not hidden, and the relevant information is directly sent to the first device entity. This information implies a specific network implementation, such as the antenna configuration on the network side, the location of the base station, etc. This information may also imply the base station's measurement of the surrounding wireless environment.

[0195] The first device entity aggregates information received from terminals and base stations based on a specific network and sends the aggregated information to the terminals. Simultaneously, the first device entity notifies the terminals how to use the notified information. Optionally, the aggregation is characterized by the inability to obtain the data information before aggregation from the aggregated information. The method of use includes the corresponding neural network and how it is used in conjunction with other information. For example, the aggregated information may be used as part of the neural network input. This aggregated information may not be a clearly defined independent feature; it may be implicit in the neural network parameters. That is, the first device entity may simply distribute a neural network to the terminals, which directly uses the terminal's measurement results and other information as input, without using the aggregated information as input. The aggregated information is implicit in the neural network parameters.

[0196] The terminal decrypts the aggregated information, but since the terminal is unaware of the aggregation method, it cannot obtain valuable information from the base station.

[0197] The terminal uses the decrypted aggregated information and the corresponding neural network to predict beam measurements. This neural network can be implemented in several ways.

[0198] The terminal provides the corresponding beam report to the base station according to predefined rules.

[0199] Example 3: The process is entirely performed by the first device entity. The terminal needs to encrypt the measurement results and other implementation information before sending them to the first device entity. The first device entity performs calculations based on the encrypted data and then feeds the data back to the terminal. The terminal decrypts the results and uses them further.

[0200] Furthermore, based on Embodiments 1 to 3 above, the neural network can also be updated. Specifically, the following process is included:

[0201] The terminal requests the current neural network from the first device entity, which may already contain the implementation of the base station.

[0202] The first device entity distributes the corresponding neural network to the terminal. Optionally, the first device entity updates the neural network by continuously collecting data, and the neural network takes the terminal implementation as input, and may further take measurement results as input.

[0203] The terminal updates the neural network based on multiple sets of local measurement results and the terminal implementation. The local measurement results include the measurement results of multiple beams.
