[0148] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0149] In some embodiments, artificial intelligence (AI) models or machine learning (ML) model predictions are introduced to simplify the process and improve performance in certain scenarios. A typical scenario is the mobility RRM (radio resource management) measurement scenario. According to the RRM measurement requirements, the terminal needs to average 5 measurement samples (5 samples) to obtain a measurement result that meets the accuracy requirements.

[0150] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1B , a rectangle on the time axis represents a measurement sample, such as measurement sample 1 to measurement sample 8. The time between two rectangles can be a measurement window, that is, the duration corresponding to each measurement window can be a measurement opportunity, and the terminal can perform measurements at the measurement opportunity to obtain the measurement sample corresponding to the measurement opportunity. Optionally, the measurement window can be, for example, an SSB-based RRM Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) window, and the duration of an SMTC window can be 20ms. As shown in FIG1B , the terminal can obtain a measurement sample at each measurement opportunity, and the terminal can obtain a measurement result based on every five consecutive measurement samples, such as measurement result 1, measurement result 2, and measurement result 3. In some embodiments, based on the AL / ML model, the actual measurement result of the terminal's current measurement sample is used to predict the measurement result. This reduces the number of measurement samples actually measured, shortens the measurement delay, and reduces UE power consumption.

[0151] FIG2A is an interactive diagram of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement method, which is applied to a communication system and includes:

[0152] Step S2101: The terminal sends the second information.

[0153] In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate the capability of the terminal. Optionally, the capability may be the measurement capability of the terminal. Optionally, the second information is used to indicate that the terminal has the capability to determine the first measurement result using the first model. Optionally, the second information is used to indicate whether the terminal has the capability to determine the first measurement result using the first model. For example, the second information may include a bit, the value of which may be used to indicate whether the terminal has the capability to determine the first measurement result using the first model. For example, when the value of the bit is "1", the second information may be used to indicate that the terminal has the capability to determine the first measurement result using the first model. When the value of the bit is "0", the second information may be used to indicate that the terminal does not have the capability to determine the first measurement result using the first model.

[0154] In some embodiments, the second information may be used by the network device to determine whether to send the first information to the terminal. For example, if the second information indicates that the terminal has the ability to determine the first measurement result using the first model, the network device may determine to send the first information to the terminal based on the second information; if the second information indicates that the terminal does not have the ability to determine the first measurement result using the first model, the network device may determine not to send the first information to the terminal based on the second information.

[0155] In some embodiments, the second information may also include terminal status information, such as terminal power information, load information, etc. Optionally, the network device may determine whether to send the first information to the terminal based on the terminal status information. For example, if the power information included in the second information indicates that the terminal power is lower than a power threshold, the network device may determine to send the first information to the terminal based on the second information.

[0156] In some embodiments, the network device receives the second information. In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "terminal capability information", "capability indication information", etc.

[0157] Step S2102: The network device sends first information.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first information is used to instruct the terminal to determine the first measurement result using the first model. Alternatively, the first information may be sent when the network device determines that it has received the second information. Alternatively, the first information may be sent when the network device receives the second information, where the second information indicates that the terminal has the capability to determine the first measurement result using the first model.

[0159] In some embodiments, the network device sends the first information in response to the second information. Alternatively, the network device sends the first information upon receiving the second information. Alternatively, the network device sends the first information upon receiving the second information.

[0160] In some embodiments, a terminal receives the first information. Optionally, the terminal determines, based on its own capabilities, whether to use the first model to determine the first measurement result. For example, if the terminal does not have the capability to use the first model to determine the first measurement result, the first model is not used to determine the first measurement result; if the terminal has the capability to use the first model to determine the first measurement result, the first model is used to determine the first measurement result.

[0161] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "measurement mode indication", "measurement indication information", "indication information", etc.

[0162] Step S2103: The terminal determines a first measurement result using the first model.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first model may be a pre-trained artificial intelligence (AI) model or a machine learning (ML) model. Optionally, the first model may be pre-deployed in the terminal, for example, pre-stored in the storage medium of the terminal. Optionally, the first model may be trained in the terminal, for example, an untrained first model may be deployed in the terminal, and the terminal may train the first model based on the collected historical data to obtain a trained first model. Optionally, the first model may be trained in a network device and sent to the terminal by the network device. Optionally, the first model may be, for example, an AI model or an ML model or an intelligent model. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the training method, training device, and name of the first model.

[0164] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first measurement result using the first model according to the first measurement sample. Optionally, the first measurement sample is a measurement sample actually measured by the terminal.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first model may make predictions based on input parameters. Optionally, the input parameters may be preconfigured. For example, the input parameters may include a first measurement sample and one or more of the following: the terminal's movement direction, movement speed, and target cell location information. Optionally, the output parameters of the first model may include the first measurement result or the second measurement sample.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first measurement result may be a measurement result corresponding to N measurement opportunities. Without using the first model, the terminal may obtain a measurement sample at each measurement opportunity. The value of N may be, for example, pre-agreed upon by a protocol, or may be indicated by an upper layer of the terminal or a network device, for example, equal to 5. The measurement window between two measurement opportunities may be, for example, an SSB-based RRM Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) window, and the duration corresponding to the window may be, for example, equal to 20 ms.

[0167] Optionally, when the terminal uses the first model, the number of first measurement samples measured by the terminal at N measurement opportunities may be less than N. For example, at five consecutive measurement opportunities, the terminal may actually measure corresponding measurement samples only at three measurement opportunities, that is, only measure three first measurement samples. Optionally, the terminal may determine, based on the three first measurement samples and using the first model, first measurement results corresponding to the five measurement opportunities.

[0168] Specifically, the manner in which the terminal determines the first measurement result by using the first model may include at least one of the following manner 1 and manner 2.

[0169] Method 1: In some embodiments, determining the first measurement result using the first model according to the first measurement sample includes: determining the first measurement result using the first model according to the second number of first measurement samples.

[0170] Optionally, the terminal may input the first measurement sample and / or other input parameters into the first model to directly obtain the first measurement result. Optionally, the terminal may only perform actual measurement to obtain the second number of first measurement results. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit other input parameters.

[0171] Optionally, the terminal inputs a second number of consecutive first measurement results and a second parameter corresponding to the first model into the first model to obtain the first measurement result output by the first model.

[0172] Optionally, the second number is the number of measurement samples actually measured within the duration corresponding to the first N measurement opportunities at the current moment. Optionally, the second number is less than the first number. Optionally, the first number is the number of measurement samples required by the terminal to determine the first measurement result without using the first model. Optionally, the first number is equal to N.

[0173] It is worth noting that the second parameter can be any parameter or information specified by those skilled in the art and is not limited in this disclosure. For example, the second parameter can include at least one of the following: movement direction within the first duration; movement speed within the first duration; and location information of the target cell within the first duration. Optionally, the first duration can be equal to the duration corresponding to N-1 measurement windows.

[0174] For example, referring to Figure 2B, a rectangle on the time axis represents a measurement sample. In this example, the terminal can perform measurements at every measurement opportunity to obtain the first measurement sample 1 to the first measurement sample 4, so that the duration between each measurement sample is equal to 2 SMTC windows. Referring to Figure 2B, the terminal does not need to perform measurements at measurement opportunities 2, 4, and 6, but only at measurement opportunities 1, 3, 5, and 7.

[0175] Further, as shown in Figure 2B, five consecutive measurement opportunities can correspond to 2 or 3 first measurement samples. For example, measurement opportunities 1 to 5 correspond to first measurement samples 1 to 3, while measurement opportunities 2 to 6 only correspond to first measurement samples 2 and 3.

[0176] When the terminal determines that it has arrived at measurement opportunity 5, it can input first measurement samples 1 to 3 into the first model to obtain measurement results 1 corresponding to measurement opportunities 1 to 5. When the terminal determines that it has arrived at measurement opportunity 6, it can input first measurement samples 2 to 3 into the first model to obtain measurement results 2 corresponding to measurement opportunities 2 to 6. Furthermore, when the terminal determines that it has arrived at measurement opportunity 7, it can also input first measurement samples 2 to 4 into the first model to obtain measurement results 3 corresponding to measurement opportunities 3 to 7. In this way, the terminal does not need to perform actual measurements at every measurement opportunity, effectively reducing terminal power consumption.

[0177] Optionally, using the above-described method 1, the input parameters of the first model may include at least one of the following: measurement samples actually measured during the five measurement opportunities; the movement direction during the first duration corresponding to the five measurement opportunities; the movement speed during the first duration; and the location information of the target cell during the first duration. The output parameters of the first model may include the measurement results corresponding to the five measurement opportunities. For example, using the five measurement opportunities 1 to 5 as an example, the first duration may be the period from the moment corresponding to measurement opportunity 1 to the moment corresponding to measurement opportunity 5, i.e., the duration corresponding to the first 5-1 measurement windows of measurement opportunity 5.

[0178] It can be understood that the first model can learn the potential mapping relationship between input parameters and output parameters through training, so that the first model can obtain the first measurement result through prediction based on limited information, that is, the measurement result can be obtained through measurement samples less than the first number, so the terminal does not need to measure the first measurement sample at each measurement opportunity.

[0179] Method 2: In some embodiments, determining the first measurement result using the first model according to the first measurement sample includes: determining the second measurement sample using the first model according to the first measurement sample; and determining the first measurement result according to the first measurement sample and the second measurement sample.

[0180] Optionally, the terminal may input the first measurement sample and a first parameter corresponding to the first model into the first model to obtain a second measurement sample output by the first model. Optionally, the terminal determines the first measurement result based on an average of the first measurement sample and the second measurement sample. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit other input parameters.

[0181] Optionally, the sum of the number of the first measurement samples and the number of the second measurement samples is equal to the first number. Optionally, the first number is the number of measurement samples required by the terminal to determine the first measurement result without using the first model. Optionally, the value of the first number can be equal to N, for example, equal to 5.

[0182] For example, if the first number is 5, the terminal may measure only 3 first measurement samples and input the 3 first measurement samples into the first model to obtain 2 second measurement samples. The terminal may determine the first measurement result based on the 3 first measurement samples and the 2 second measurement samples.

[0183] It is worth noting that the aforementioned first parameter can be any parameter or information specified by those skilled in the art, and is not limited in this disclosure. For example, the first parameter can include at least one of the following: movement direction within the second duration; movement speed within the second duration; and location information of the target cell within the second duration. Alternatively, the first duration can be the duration corresponding to the measurement window preceding the measurement opportunity corresponding to the current moment.

[0184] For example, referring to FIG2C , a rectangle on the time axis represents a measurement sample. In this example, the terminal can perform actual measurement at every measurement opportunity, thereby obtaining first measurement samples 1 to 4. Furthermore, at measurement opportunities where no measurement is performed, the terminal uses the first model to determine the second measurement samples corresponding to the measurement opportunities, i.e., second measurement samples 1 to 4 in FIG2C . In this way, the duration between each measurement sample can be equal to one SMTC window.

[0185] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2C, for measurement opportunities 1 to 5, the terminal can determine the corresponding measurement result 1 based on the first measurement sample 1, the first measurement sample 2, the first measurement sample 3, and the second measurement sample 1 and the second measurement sample 2. For example, when the terminal determines that measurement opportunity 5 has been reached, it can determine measurement result 1 based on the measurement samples corresponding to measurement opportunities 1 to 5. Furthermore, the terminal can determine measurement result 2 corresponding to measurement opportunities 2 to 6 at measurement opportunity 6, and the terminal can determine measurement result 3 corresponding to measurement opportunities 3 to 7 at measurement opportunity 7, and determine measurement results corresponding to measurement opportunities 4 to 8 at measurement opportunity 8. These details are not repeated here. In this way, the terminal does not need to perform actual measurements at each measurement opportunity, effectively reducing terminal power consumption.

[0186] Optionally, using the second method described above, the input parameters of the first model may include at least one of the following: a measurement sample actually measured at the first measurement opportunity; a moving direction within a second time period; a moving speed within a second time period; and location information of the target cell within a second time period. The output parameters of the first model may include: a measurement sample corresponding to the second measurement opportunity. The second measurement opportunity may be the measurement opportunity corresponding to the current moment, the first measurement opportunity may be the measurement opportunity immediately preceding the second measurement opportunity, and the second time period may be the duration between the first measurement opportunity and the second measurement opportunity. For example, referring to FIG2C , taking the measurement opportunity corresponding to the current moment as measurement opportunity 6, the first measurement opportunity may be measurement opportunity 5. The terminal may input the first measurement sample 3 actually measured at measurement opportunity 5, as well as information such as the terminal's moving direction, moving speed, and location information of the target cell between measurement opportunities 5 and 6 into the first model, thereby obtaining the measurement sample corresponding to the current moment output by the first model, namely, the second measurement sample 3.

[0187] Optionally, the first measurement opportunity in the above optional implementation manner may include X measurement opportunities before the second measurement opportunity, and the second duration may be the duration corresponding to 2X measurement windows before the second measurement opportunity. X may be a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific value of X. For example, taking the measurement opportunity corresponding to the current moment as measurement opportunity 6 and X equal to 2 as an example, the first measurement opportunity may include measurement opportunity 3 and measurement opportunity 5, and the second duration may be the duration between measurement opportunity 3 and measurement opportunity 6. The terminal may input the first measurement sample 2, the first measurement sample 3, and the terminal movement direction, movement speed, target cell location information and other information between measurement opportunity 3 and measurement opportunity 6 into the first model, and obtain the second measurement sample 3 output by the first model.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first measurement result is used for radio resource management. Optionally, the first measurement result may be used to indicate a mobility event triggered by the terminal. Optionally, the network device or the terminal itself may perform radio resource management based on the mobility event indicated by the first measurement result. Optionally, the first measurement result may be, for example, an RRM (radio resource management) measurement result. Optionally, the first measurement result may be an RRM measurement result based on an SSB (synchronization signal block).

[0189] In some embodiments, the first measurement sample is measured based on a synchronization signal block and a physical broadcast channel block (SSB). Alternatively, the first measurement sample may be measured based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0190] In some embodiments, the first measurement result may include at least one of the following: an idle state measurement result; an inactive state measurement result; or a connected state measurement result.

[0191] Optionally, the measurement results of the idle state and the inactive state may include cell search and neighbor cell measurement such as Cell_selection_and_reselection_quality_measurement, for example, including intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement and inter-RAT measurement. Optionally, the measurement results of the connected state may include cell identification, SSB index detection and neighbor cell measurement, for example, including intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement and inter-RAT measurement.

[0192] In some embodiments, determining the first measurement result using the first model according to the first measurement sample includes: determining that a first condition is satisfied, and determining the first measurement result using the first model according to the first measurement sample.

[0193] Optionally, the first condition includes at least one of the following: receiving first information, the first information is sent by the network device, and is used to instruct the terminal to use the first model to determine the first measurement result; the measurement value of the first measurement sample is greater than or equal to the first measurement threshold; the terminal's power is less than or equal to the first power threshold.

[0194] Optionally, the first measurement threshold may be pre-configured based on the prediction accuracy of the first model. For example, when the measurement value of the first measurement sample is lower than the first measurement threshold, the confidence level of the result predicted by the first model may be lower than the preset confidence threshold. Optionally, the first power threshold may be a threshold set by the user or a preset threshold. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the user may set the first power threshold to 20%. When the terminal power level is lower than 20%, the first model may be used to predict the first measurement result, thereby reducing the number of measurements of the first measurement sample to reduce power consumption.

[0195] In some embodiments, before step S2103, the method may further include: the network device sending fourth information. Optionally, the fourth information is used to indicate the first measurement threshold and / or the first battery threshold. Optionally, the terminal receives the fourth information. Optionally, the terminal determines the first measurement threshold and / or the first battery threshold based on the fourth information. Optionally, the first measurement threshold and / or the first battery threshold are indicated by the network device via the fourth information. Optionally, the first measurement threshold and / or the first battery threshold are used by terminal 101 to determine whether to use the first model to determine the first measurement result.

[0196] Step S2104: The terminal sends a first measurement result.

[0197] In some embodiments, the first measurement result may be achieved based on an optional implementation in step S2103, for example, determined using a first model according to the first measurement sample, which will not be described in detail here. In some embodiments, the network device receives the first measurement result.

[0198] In some embodiments, the terminal may send the first measurement result according to a preset period. Optionally, the period may be equal to one or more measurement windows. For example, if the period is equal to one measurement window, the terminal may determine a first measurement result at each measurement opportunity and directly send the first measurement result to the network device, that is, the terminal may send the determined first measurement results to the network device in sequence. Alternatively, if the period is equal to multiple measurement windows, the terminal may determine a first measurement result at each measurement opportunity, and then obtain multiple first measurement results within one period, and send the multiple first measurement results to the network device, that is, the terminal may send multiple first measurement results determined within a period of time to the network device together.

[0199] In some embodiments, the terminal may send the first measurement result when determining that the first event is triggered. For example, if the terminal determines multiple first measurement results using the first model before triggering the first event, then these multiple first measurement results may be sent to the network device after the first event is triggered. For another example, if all first measurement results of the terminal before triggering the first event have been sent to the network device, then the first measurement result determined at the next measurement opportunity may be sent to the network device, or M first measurement results before triggering the first event may be sent to the network device again, where M is a positive integer.

[0200] Step S2105: The terminal sends the third information.

[0201] In some embodiments, the third information is used to indicate whether the first measurement result is determined using the first model. Optionally, the third information is used to indicate whether the measurement result sent by the terminal is determined using the first model. For example, the third information may include a bit, the value of which may be used to indicate whether the measurement result sent by the terminal is determined using the first model. For example, when the value of the bit is "1", the second information is used to indicate that the measurement result sent by the terminal is determined using the first model. When the value of the bit is "0", the second information may be used to indicate that the measurement result sent by the terminal is not determined using the first model.
