[0088] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0104] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a beam management process according to the prior art, such as Figure 1 As shown, an important use case of AI / ML for beam management mentioned in the prior art report (3GPP TR 38.843) is: 1) Spatial downlink beam prediction of beam Set A based on the measurement results of beam set B. When the AI / ML model is deployed on the UE side, the network can scan all potential beams during the training phase, and determine the best beam ID as the training label based on the beam information fed back by the UE. After the model training is completed, the network only needs to send some beams (beams corresponding to Set B), and the UE measures these beams. The AI / ML model predicts the Top-K beam information in the beams corresponding to Set A based on the measurement results to the NW, the network sends possible Top-K beams, and the UE determines the best beam ID, which will then be fed back to the network.

[0105] When AI / ML is used for beam management, performance monitoring of the UE-side model is very important, as it can indicate the performance of the AI / ML model in the current scenario so that corresponding LCM decisions can be made. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the interaction timing of NW side performance monitoring in the prior art. Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of the interaction sequence of UE-side assisted performance monitoring in the prior art. As shown in the figure, when deploying the model on the UE side, two NW-led performance monitoring solutions can be used:

[0106] (1) Option 1 (NW-side performance monitoring): The UE sends a report to the NW (for calculation of performance indicators at the NW);

[0107] (2) Option 2 (UE-assisted performance monitoring): The UE calculates the performance indicators.

[0108] In the performance monitoring process, it is generally necessary to transmit a dedicated performance monitoring reference signal resource set Set M (hereinafter referred to as the monitoring resource set). Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of performance monitoring in the prior art Figure 1 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of performance monitoring in the prior art Figure 2 , Figure 4The first solution shown is that the monitoring resource set of each performance monitoring instance includes the entire Set A. In this case, the UE can obtain measurement values ​​from the entire Set A, and the corresponding monitoring procedures and indicators can be defined accordingly. Figure 5 The second solution shown is that in each performance monitoring instance, the monitored resource set is a subset of Set A. In this case, the UE will not be able to access all beam measurements in Set A.

[0109] The solutions proposed in the current prior art often require the transmission of a dedicated monitoring resource set. The additional system overhead caused by performance monitoring should be considered together with the performance gain it can bring to the system. The prior art has the following problems:

[0110] Question 1: How to design a reasonable method for determining the monitoring resource set, and how to use the monitoring resource set to calculate monitoring indicators.

[0111] Question 2: How to design reasonable monitoring report content to meet monitoring needs while minimizing reporting costs.

[0112] Therefore, a solution is proposed in an embodiment of the present application, which provides a unified mechanism for performance monitoring using dedicated monitoring resource sets and using reasoning resource sets as monitoring resource sets, and designs multiple configuration schemes for monitoring resource sets, multiple indicator calculation methods for performance monitoring, and multiple indicator reporting methods for monitoring reports to adapt to this mechanism.

[0113] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a timing diagram of the overall solution according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, NW has completed the activation of the AI / ML beam management model on the UE side. The AI / ML beam management model on the UE side can perform reasoning tasks normally, and the performance monitoring of the model is triggered by the UE or NW. For the convenience of expression, Set A is represented by A, Set B is represented by B, and Set M is represented by M.

[0114] For example, the monitoring time is t0, the corresponding resource set is B0, and the time from t1 to t N The corresponding resource sets B1, B2, ..., B N To calculate the performance index. represents the model's predicted output for resource a at time t0. Let y i (a) represents resource a at time t i The actual output value.

[0141] According to the starting resource identifier and the resource identifier interval indication, reference signal resources are selected in the second reference signal resource set according to the resource identifiers at equal intervals to form the first reference signal resource set.

[0142] As another implementation manner, the monitoring resource set includes:

[0143] Channel state information reference signal resources that have a first association relationship with a first number of channel state information reference signals in a third reference signal resource set.

[0155] Exemplarily, under the first rule, the resource composition of Set M may be indicated by a starting resource ID and a resource ID interval.

[0156] Exemplarily, Set M is a reference signal resource set selected by Set A according to a first rule, plus a CSI-RS resource (eg, APCSI-RS) having a first association relationship with a Top-1 CSI-RS (first channel state information reference signal) in a reasoning instance.

[0157] Exemplarily, the first rule may be that Set M consists of resources with equally spaced resource IDs in Set A.

[0160] Exemplarily, the first association relationship may be that the selected CSI-RS has the same QCL (quasi co-location) relationship as the Top-1 CSI-RS in the previous reasoning example and the same CSI-RS, SSB or other reference signal.

[0161] Exemplarily, if additional performance monitoring resources are used, as another implementation method, NW configures Set M (e.g., AP CSI-RS) based on the Top-M of Set B (i.e., the third reference signal resource set) received from the UE inference report feedback, where M is the first number.

[0176] Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present application, when the NW receives a confirmation response from the UE to the monitoring configuration indication, the NW transmits the resource set B0 (eg, asynchronous monitoring) or B0+M0 (eg, synchronous monitoring) corresponding to the monitoring time t0.

[0177] For example, when the UE receives the resource set B0, the UE inputs the model for reasoning. For resource a∈B0, the predicted output of the model at time t0 is expressed as The predicted output can be the probability that the beam corresponding to the resources in each A becomes the Top-1 or Top-K beam, or the predicted level value of the beam corresponding to the resources in each A, or other content, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
