Description

Information sending and receiving method and device Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technologies. Background Art

[0002] As low-frequency spectrum resources become scarce, millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands offer greater bandwidth, making them a crucial frequency band for 5G NR (New Radio) systems. Due to their shorter wavelengths, mmWaves exhibit different propagation characteristics than traditional low-frequency bands, such as higher propagation loss and poor reflection and diffraction performance. Therefore, larger antenna arrays are typically employed to form shaped beams with greater gain, overcome propagation loss, and ensure system coverage. The 5G NR standard incorporates a series of beam management solutions, including beam scanning, beam measurement, beam reporting, and beam indication. However, a large number of transmit and receive beams significantly increases system load and latency.

[0003] With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, applying it to the physical layer of wireless communications to address the difficulties of traditional methods has become a current technical trend. For beam management, using AI models to predict the optimal spatial beam pair based on a small number of beam measurements can significantly reduce system load and latency.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is merely intended to provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of this application and facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Simply because these solutions are described in the background technology section of this application, it should not be assumed that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] Assume a communication system has M beams on the transmitter side and N beams on the receiver side. Existing standards require measuring M*N beams. When M and N are large, measuring M*N beams results in significant system load and latency. Using models (e.g., AI models) to predict the optimal beam pair based on a small number of beam measurements can significantly reduce the system load and latency caused by beam measurements.

[0007] In the traditional beam measurement reporting process, the network device configures reference signal resources for the beam measurement of the terminal device and carries them on different transmission beams. The terminal device measures the quality of the reference signals on different transmission beams and reports up to K measurement results based on the implementation algorithm on the terminal device side (such as selecting one or more reports with the best quality).

[0008] The inventors discovered that when AI models are deployed on network devices, the terminal devices are unable to report measurement results based on their own implementation algorithms when collecting data for AI model training, performing AI model inference, or monitoring AI model performance. Currently, there is no solution for how terminal devices report measurement results when using AI models for beam (pair) prediction, or how terminal devices determine which beam measurement results to report.

[0009] To address at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a method and apparatus for sending and receiving information.

[0012] A second sending unit sends a measurement report to the network device, wherein the measurement report includes the measurement results corresponding to each first reference signal in the first reference signal set, and / or the measurement results corresponding to each first receiving beam in the first receiving beam set, and / or the measurement results corresponding to each first transceiver beam pair in the first transceiver beam pair set.

[0013] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, there is provided an information transceiver device, applied to a network device, the device comprising:

[0014] a first sending unit, configured to send reporting configuration information to a terminal device, where the reporting configuration information includes first relevant information of a first reference signal set, and / or second relevant information of a first receive beam set, and / or third relevant information of a set of a first transmit-receive beam pair including a first transmit beam and a first receive beam;

[0015] A first receiving unit receives a measurement report sent by the terminal device, wherein the measurement report includes measurement results corresponding to each first reference signal in the first reference signal set, and / or measurement results corresponding to each first receiving beam in the first receiving beam set, and / or measurement results corresponding to each first transceiver beam pair in the first transceiver beam pair set.

[0017] One of the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application is that by configuring the terminal device with the first transmitting beam (corresponding to the first reference signal), or the first receiving beam, or the information of the first transmitting and receiving beam pair that the terminal device needs to report, the terminal device reports the beam measurement results specified by the network device according to the configuration, thereby effectively enabling the AI ​​model to work in the reasoning stage, the training data collection stage or the model performance monitoring stage.

[0049] The following describes the scenarios of the embodiments of the present application through examples, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0050] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application, schematically illustrating a situation using a terminal device and a network device as an example. As shown in FIG1 , a communication system 100 may include a network device 101 and terminal devices 102 and 103. For simplicity, FIG1 illustrates only two terminal devices and one network device as an example, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, existing services or future services can be transmitted between the network device 101 and the terminal devices 102 and 103.

[0058] In response to the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for sending and receiving information, which are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0059] Embodiments of the first aspect

[0060] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for sending and receiving information, which is explained from the perspective of a network device, and the AI ​​model is deployed on the network device side.

[0061] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of a method for sending and receiving information according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the method includes:

[0062] 301. A network device sends reporting configuration information to a terminal device, where the reporting configuration information includes first relevant information about a first reference signal set, and / or second relevant information about a first receive beam set, and / or third relevant information about a set of a first transmit-receive beam pair including a first transmit beam and a first receive beam.

[0063] 302. The network device receives a measurement report sent by the terminal device, wherein the measurement report includes measurement results corresponding to each first reference signal in the first reference signal set, and / or measurement results corresponding to each first receiving beam in the first receiving beam set, and / or measurement results corresponding to each first transceiver beam pair in the first transceiver beam pair set.

[0064] It is worth noting that FIG3 above is merely a schematic illustration of an embodiment of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the execution order of the various operations may be appropriately adjusted, and other operations may be added or some operations may be reduced. Those skilled in the art may make appropriate modifications based on the above description, and are not limited to the description of FIG3 above.

[0065] Through the above embodiments, by configuring the terminal device with the first transmitting beam (corresponding to the first reference signal), or the first receiving beam, or the information of the first transmitting and receiving beam pair that the terminal device needs to report, the terminal device reports the beam measurement results specified by the network device according to the configuration, thereby effectively enabling the AI ​​model to work in the reasoning stage, the training data collection stage or the model performance monitoring stage.

[0066] In some embodiments, an AI model for beam prediction is deployed in a network device. Using the AI ​​model, the AI ​​model can be used to predict the measurement results of a transmit beam, or the measurement results of a receive beam, or the measurement results of a beam pair (the combination of a transmit beam and a receive beam is referred to as a beam pair). The transmit beam and the receive beam are downlink transmit beams and downlink receive beams, and the above beams can be wide beams or narrow beams. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. The measurement results include RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) values ​​or SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) values.

[0067] In some embodiments, the network device can configure measurement resources for the downlink beam, which can be reference signals such as CSI-RS and / or SSB. The network device sends the reference signal for beam measurement through one or more downlink transmit beams. After the terminal device receives the reference signal for beam measurement through one or more downlink receive beams, it measures the measurement results of the downlink transmit beam or downlink receive beam or downlink transmit and receive beam pair based on the reference signal. The terminal device reports the measurement results, and the network device performs AI model data collection, model inference, or model performance monitoring based on the received measurement results.

[0068] For example, the AI ​​model is used to predict the measurement results of the transmission beam. The receiving beam of the terminal device is fixed to one. The network device can only use part of the downlink transmission beam. The AI ​​model predicts the measurement results of all downlink transmission beams through the measurement results of part of the downlink transmission beam. The input parameter of the AI ​​model is the measurement result of this part of the downlink transmission beam, and the physical quantity of the output parameter is the measurement result of all downlink transmission beams. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the transmission beam, the receiving beam and the AI ​​model in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, for example, there are 12 downlink transmission beams and 8 downlink receiving beams, but the receiving beam is fixed to one. Through configuration, the terminal device only reports the measurement results of 6 of the downlink transmission beams. At this time, the dimension of the input parameter of the AI ​​model is 6, the physical quantity is RSRP or SINR, the dimension of the output parameter is 12, and the physical quantity is also RSRP or SINR.

[0069] For example, the AI ​​model is used to predict the measurement results of the receiving beam. The transmitting beam is fixed to one, and the terminal device can only use part of the downlink receiving beam. The AI ​​model predicts the measurement results of all downlink receiving beams through the measurement results of part of the downlink receiving beam. The input parameter of the AI ​​model is the measurement result of this part of the downlink receiving beam, and the physical quantity of the output parameter is the measurement result of all downlink receiving beams. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the transmitting beam, receiving beam and AI model in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, for example, there are 12 downlink transmitting beams and 8 downlink receiving beams, but the transmitting beam is fixed to one. Through configuration, the terminal device only reports the measurement results of 4 of the downlink receiving beams. At this time, the dimension of the input parameter of the AI ​​model is 4, the physical quantity is RSRP or SINR, the dimension of the output parameter is 8, and the physical quantity is also RSRP or SINR.

[0070] In the above embodiments, there is no limitation on how to select the fixed receiving beam or transmitting beam.

[0071] For example, the AI ​​model is used to predict the measurement results of the transceiver beam pairs. The AI ​​model predicts the measurement results of all beam pairs based on the measurement results of some transceiver beam pairs. The input parameter of the AI ​​model is the measurement result of the part of the transceiver beam pairs, and the physical quantity of the output parameter is the measurement result of all beam pairs. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the transmitting beam and receiving beam and the AI ​​model in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, for example, there are 12 downlink transmitting beams and 8 downlink receiving beams. Through configuration, the terminal device only reports the measurement results of 6 downlink transmitting beams and 4 downlink receiving beams (a total of 24 transceiver beam pairs). At this time, the dimension of the input parameter of the AI ​​model is 24, the physical quantity is RSRP or SINR, the dimension of the output parameter is 96, and the physical quantity is also RSRP or SINR.

[0072] In some embodiments, the network device may send measurement resource configuration information to the terminal device, which includes measurement resources (reference signals), and the measurement resources (reference signals) may be reference signals such as CSI-RS and / or SSB. For example, the configured measurement resources are a resource set list (reference signal set), and each resource set consists of one or more measurement resources (reference signals). In other words, the network device may configure multiple reference signals for the terminal device for beam measurement, and the measurement resource configuration information includes a reference signal set identifier (measurement resource set identifier) ​​and an identifier of one or more measurement resources (reference signals) constituting a reference signal set (measurement resource) set. For example, the measurement resource configuration information can be represented by the information element NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet or CSI-SSB-ResourceSet, but this is only an example and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0073] In some embodiments, the network device may also send reporting configuration information, which is used to configure the parameters required for the terminal device to measure and report. For example, the reporting configuration information includes first relevant information of the first reference signal set, and / or second relevant information of the first receiving beam set, and / or third relevant information of a set of first transceiver beam pairs including the first transmitting beam and the first receiving beam. Optionally, the reporting configuration information may also include reporting quantity (Report Quantity), reporting configuration type, etc. For example, when beam management is required, the reporting quantity is a combination of the following parameters: CRI-RSRP / SINR (CSI-RS based beam management) or SSBRI-RSRP / SINR (SSB based beam management).

[0074] (1) First related information

[0075] In some embodiments, the first reference signal in the first reference signal set is one or more reference signals in the reference signal set, or in other words, the first reference signal set includes all or some of the reference signals in the reference signal set. The first reference signal corresponds to the first transmit beam in the downlink transmit beam, and the first reference signal is transmitted on the corresponding first transmit beam. The network device side knows the correspondence between the first reference signal and the first transmit beam. "First transmit beam," "first reference signal," and "first downlink transmit beam" are interchangeable.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first relevant information of the first reference signal set includes an index of the first reference signal. For example, when the first reference signal is a CSI-RS, the index of the first reference signal may be a CRI; when the first reference signal is an SSB, the index of the first reference signal may be an SSB RI. In other words, the first relevant information of the first reference signal set may include an index of one first reference signal or a list of indexes of multiple first reference signals.

[0077] In some embodiments, since a resource set list (reference signal set) has been configured in the measurement resource configuration information, when the network device configures the terminal device to report the measurement results corresponding to all reference signals in the reference signal set, the first relevant information may also be indication information of the first reference signal, and the indication information may be a first reference signal set identifier. For example, the existing information element resourcesForChannelMeasurement is used to represent the first relevant information of the first reference signal set, that is, CSI-ResourceConfigId is the first reference signal set identifier. According to CSI-ResourceConfigId and the ID of the reference signal set in the measurement resource configuration information (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceSetId or csi-SSB-ResourceSetId), the first reference signal set can be determined to be the corresponding reference signal set in the aforementioned measurement configuration information. In other words, when the other types of first relevant information described later do not appear in the reporting configuration information, and resourcesForChannelMeasurement is included, it indicates that the first reference signal set is equivalent to the aforementioned reference signal set.

[0078] For example, the report configuration information can be represented by the existing RRC signaling information element CSI-ReportConfig, but this is only an example and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. CSI-ReportConfig can be represented using the abstract syntax notation ASN.1 data format as follows:

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] Among them, reportConfigId represents the identifier corresponding to the reporting configuration, and the reused information element resourcesForChannelMeasurement represents the first relevant information of the first reference signal set, that is, CSI-ResourceConfigId is the first reference signal set identifier. According to CSI-ResourceConfigId and the ID of the reference signal set in the measurement resource configuration information (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceSetId or csi-SSB-ResourceSetId), the first reference signal set can be determined as the reference signal set in the aforementioned measurement configuration information. reportConfigType is the reporting configuration type, including periodic, semi-periodic semiPersistentOnPUCCH / semiPersistentOnPUSCH, and non-periodic aperiodic.

[0082] In some embodiments, since a resource set list (reference signal set) has been configured in the measurement resource configuration information, the first relevant information may also be indication information of the first reference signal, and the indication information may be the starting position of the sequence number of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set + the interval information of the sequence number of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set, or the bit map of the first reference signal set corresponding to the reference signal set. The reporting configuration information may also include a reference signal set identifier, which is used to indicate the ID of the reference signal set in the measurement resource configuration information corresponding to the first relevant information in the reporting configuration information (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceSetId or csi-SSB-ResourceSetId).

[0083] For example, the indication information indicates the starting position of the sequence number of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set + the interval information of the sequence number of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set. In this example, the terminal device determines the corresponding reference signal set based on the reference signal set identifier, and then determines the first reference signal in the first reference signal set in combination with the starting position of the sequence number of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set + the interval information of the sequence number of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set. For example, the reference signal set indicated by the reference signal set identifier contains 64 reference signals (corresponding to different downlink transmit beams respectively). Assuming the starting position = 0 and the interval information = 8, the first reference signals included in the first reference signal set are the 0th, 8th, 16th, 24th, 32nd, 40th, 48th, 56th, and 64th reference signals.

[0084] For example, the configuration information can be reported using the newly added RRC signaling CSI-Report-Subset-Config bearer, which uses an example of the Abstract Syntax Notation ASN.1 data format representation:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, the newly added reporting configuration information RRC signaling CSI-Report-Subset-Config includes a reference signal set identifier, which is used to indicate the ID of the reference signal set in the measurement resource configuration signaling (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceSetId or csi-SSB-ResourceSetId), and the starting position of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set + the interval information of the first reference signal set in the reference signal set (startIndexofCSI-RS-Resourceset+intervalofCSI-RS-Resoruceset). The data type is an integer, and the value range is determined by the number of reference signals in the reference signal set (the maximum value is maxNrofNZP-CSI-RS-ResourcesPerSet or maxNrofCSI-SSB-ResourcePerSet). The above field names, data types, and value ranges are for illustrative purposes only and are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0087] The reporting configuration information can also be a newly added field / information element csi-report-subset, included in the existing RRC signaling information element CSI-ReportConfig. The csi-report-subset can include the aforementioned startIndexofCSI-RS-Resourceset+intervalofCSI-RS-Resoruceset. The implementation method is similar to the above and will not be repeated here.

[0088] For example, the indication information indicates that the first reference signal set corresponds to a bitmap of a reference signal set. When the bit value is 1, it indicates that the corresponding reference signal is the first reference signal, that is, the measurement report needs to include the measurement result of the downlink transmit beam corresponding to the reference signal corresponding to the bit position. The bit value is 0, which indicates that the corresponding reference signal is not the first reference signal, that is, the measurement report does not include the measurement result of the downlink transmit beam corresponding to the reference signal corresponding to the bit position. For example, the reference signal set indicated by the reference signal set identifier includes 64 reference signals (corresponding to different downlink transmit beams respectively). Assuming that the bitmap has a total of 64 bits, which are 1000000100000001..., then the first reference signals included in the first reference signal set are the 0th, 8th, 16th,..... reference signals.

[0089] For example, the reporting configuration information may be a newly added RRC signaling CSI-Report-Subset-Config, including a bitmap of the first reference signal set corresponding to the reference signal set. The following is an example of CSI-Report-Subset-Config represented using the Abstract Syntax Notation ASN.1 data format:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, the newly added RRC signaling CSI-Report-Subset-Config includes a reference signal set identifier, which is used to indicate the ID of the reference signal set in the resource configuration signaling corresponding to resourcesForChannelMeasurement (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceSetId or csi-SSB-ResourceSetId), and the bit map (csi-report-subset) of the reference signal set corresponding to the first reference signal set. The data type is a bit sequence, and the length of the bit map is determined by the number of reference signals in the reference signal set maxNrofNZP-CSI-RS-ResourcesPerSet or maxNrofCSI-SSB-ResourcePerSet. When the bit value is 1, it indicates that the measurement report needs to include the measurement result of the downlink transmit beam corresponding to the reference signal corresponding to the bit position. The bit value is 0, which indicates that the measurement report does not include the measurement result of the downlink transmit beam corresponding to the reference signal corresponding to the bit position. The above field names, data types and value ranges are for illustrative purposes only and are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0092] The reporting configuration information may also be a newly added field / information element csi-report-subset, included in the existing RRC signaling information element CSI-ReportConfig. The csi-report-subset may include the aforementioned bit map. The implementation method is similar to the aforementioned one and will not be repeated here.

[0093] In the above embodiments, when new signaling, a new field, or a new information element appears, it indicates that the first reference signal corresponding to the measurement result to be reported is part of the reference signals in the reference signal set. When no new signaling, a new field, or a new information element appears, it indicates that the first reference signal corresponding to the measurement result to be reported is all the reference signals in the reference signal set. This is merely an example, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0094] (2) Second relevant information

[0095] In some embodiments, the first receive beam set may be all or part of the downlink receive beams, and the second relevant information of the first receive beam set includes first receive beam identification information or first receive beam angle information. "First receive beam" and "first downlink receive beam" are interchangeable.

[0096] For example, the first receiving beam identification information includes a first identifier of the horizontal beam sequence number and a second identifier of the vertical beam sequence number, or includes a third identifier of the beam sequence number. Among them, if the first receiving beam is a 3D beamforming, that is, the beam can include two dimensions in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, then the horizontal and vertical directions can be sequentially numbered respectively (taking 8 first receiving beams as an example, as shown in Figure 7). Therefore, the first receiving beam identification information includes a first identifier of the horizontal beam sequence number and a second identifier of the vertical beam sequence number. Alternatively, the two dimensions can be uniformly sequentially numbered (taking 8 first receiving beams as an example, as shown in Figure 8). Therefore, the first receiving beam identification information includes a third identifier of the beam sequence number. It should be noted that in Figures 7 and 8, 8 first receiving beams are taken as an example, and the sequence numbering is first in the horizontal direction and then in the vertical direction, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. It can also be in the vertical direction first and then in the horizontal direction, or other numbers of first receiving beams, which are not exemplified here. The above-mentioned first identifier, second identifier, and third identifier can be represented by binary coding of predetermined bits. That is to say, the second related information includes one first receiving beam identification information or multiple first receiving beam identification information.

[0097] For example, the first receiving beam angle information includes horizontal beam angle information and vertical beam angle information. If the first receiving beam is a 3D beamforming, that is, the beam can include two dimensions, horizontal and vertical, then the horizontal angle and vertical angle of the first receiving beam in space can be used to uniquely indicate the angle. Taking 8 first receiving beams as an example, FIG9 is an example diagram of the first receiving beam angle information. As shown in FIG9 , assuming that there are 2 angles in the vertical direction (eg, 45 degrees, 135 degrees) and 4 angles in the horizontal direction (eg, -67 degrees, -22 degrees, 22 degrees, 67 degrees), the first receiving beam angle information includes horizontal beam angle information and vertical beam angle information. It should be noted that FIG9 takes 8 first receiving beam angle information, 2 angles in the vertical direction, and 4 angles in the horizontal direction as an example, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this, and no further examples are given here. The above-mentioned horizontal beam angle information and vertical beam angle information can be represented by binary coding of predetermined bits. That is, the second related information includes one piece of first receiving beam angle information or multiple pieces of first receiving beam angle information.

[0098] Optionally, the second relevant information of the first receiving beam set may also be the uplink transmitting beam indication information corresponding to the first receiving beam. By utilizing the reciprocity in the wireless channel space, the direction of the uplink transmitting beam and the direction of the downlink receiving beam are basically the same. Therefore, the uplink transmitting beam corresponding to the first receiving beam may be used to implicitly indicate the first receiving beam. The uplink transmitting beam indication information includes an SRS resource indication (SRI) or a random access preamble index (PRACH Preamble index), that is, the first receiving beam may be implicitly indicated by SRI or PRACH preamble index. In other words, the second relevant information includes one uplink transmitting beam indication information (SRI or PRACH Preamble index) or multiple uplink transmitting beam indication information (SRI or PRACH Preamble index).

[0099] In some embodiments, the second related information of the first receive beam set can be configured through RRC signaling. An information element of the second related information of the first receive beam set can be added in the signaling CSI-ReportConfig to indicate the receive beam corresponding to the measurement result that the terminal device needs to report.

[0100] CSI-ReportConfig uses the abstract syntax notation ASN.1 data format, which can be expressed as follows:

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] In the above embodiment, the information element of rx-beam-set is added to CSI-ReportConfig to indicate the second related information information of the first receive beam set, where maxNrofRxBeam is the maximum number of first receive beams in the set. The first receive beam contained in the first receive beam set is described using the Rx-beam-index sequence. The Rx-beam-index can be the first receive beam identification information or the first receive beam angle information or the SRS resource indication (SRI) or the random access preamble index (PRACH Preamble index).

[0104] The above-mentioned added information elements, parameter names and data types are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting in this application.

[0105] In the above embodiment, when the information element of the second related information of the first receive beam set (for example, rx-beam-set) appears, it indicates that the terminal device needs to report the measurement result of the corresponding first receive beam or the first transmit-receive beam pair.

[0106] (3) Third-party related information

[0107] In some embodiments, the first transceiver beam pair set may be all downlink transceiver beam pairs or part of the downlink transceiver beam pairs in the downlink transceiver beam pairs, and each downlink transceiver beam pair (first transceiver beam pair) is a combination of a first transmit beam and a first receive beam. For example, the third relevant information of the first transceiver beam pair set includes the first relevant information and the second relevant information. "First transceiver beam pair" and "first downlink transceiver beam pair" are interchangeable. Regarding the index of the first reference signal, and the first relevant information or the second relevant information, reference may be made to the aforementioned (1) and (2). For example, the information element of rx-beam-set and the information element of csi-report-subset are added to the existing RRC signaling CSI-ReportConfig as the third relevant information, or the information element of rx-beam-set is added to the existing RRC signaling CSI-ReportConfig in combination with the existing parameter resourcesForChannelMeasurement as the third relevant information. Examples are not given one by one here.

[0108] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration information may be carried by RRC and / or MAC CE and / or DCI, and may include a new information element in the existing RRC or MAC CE or DCI to carry the reporting configuration information, or may include an existing information element in the existing RRC or MAC CE or DCI to carry the reporting configuration information, or may include a new RRC or MAC CE or DCI to carry the reporting configuration information. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, the reporting configuration information may be included as a new information element in the existing RRC signaling, may be a new RRC signaling, or may be a new MAC CE signaling, or a part of the reporting configuration information may be included as a new information element in the existing RRC signaling, and the other part may be a new RRC signaling or a new MAC CE signaling, or a part of the reporting configuration information may be a new RRC signaling and the other part may be a new MAC CE signaling. Examples are not given one by one here.

[0109] In the above embodiment, when reporting configuration information appears, it means that the reported measurement results are applied to the scenario where the AI ​​model is deployed, and the measurement results are used for AI model-based beam management (for example, for data collection, reasoning or monitoring of the AI ​​model). When reporting configuration information does not appear, the reported measurement results are applied to the scenario where the AI ​​model is not deployed, and the measurement results are used for traditional beam management.

[0110] The above takes the deployment of an AI model on the network device side as an example. When multiple AI models with the same function are deployed on the network device side, the network device can configure reporting configuration information for each AI model separately. The configuration method for each AI model is the same as the configuration method for deploying an AI model mentioned above. Alternatively, a common reporting configuration information can be configured for multiple AI models, which will not be repeated here.

[0111] In some embodiments, after configuring the measurement resource configuration information and the reporting configuration information, the network device may send a reference signal set to be measured (the reference signal configured in the measurement resource configuration information) to the terminal device, and the network device configures the time-frequency resources, period and other information in the measurement resource configuration information, and sends the corresponding reference signal set on the corresponding time-frequency resources, so that the terminal device performs beam measurement on the received reference signal. In 302, the terminal device can determine which beams (pairs) to report the corresponding measurement results based on the aforementioned reporting configuration information, that is, report the measurement results of the beams (pairs) specified by it according to the configuration of the network device. Among them, the measurement report reported by the terminal device includes the measurement results corresponding to each first reference signal in the first reference signal set specified by the network device, and / or the measurement results corresponding to each first receiving beam in the first receiving beam set, and / or the measurement results corresponding to each first transceiver beam pair in the first transceiver beam pair set. The measurement report is carried by UCI. The measurement result is used for AI model-based beam management (for example, for data collection, reasoning or monitoring of the AI ​​model). The following are explained separately.

[0112] In some embodiments, the measurement report includes measurement results corresponding to each first reference signal in the first reference signal set.

[0113] For example, when the measurement report is used to collect data for AI model training, the network device configures a first reference signal set for the terminal device. When it is necessary to collect the measurement results of all downlink transmit beams, the network device configures the corresponding first reference signal set for all downlink transmit beams in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of all downlink transmit beams (first reference signal set). When only the measurement results of part of the downlink transmit beams need to be collected, the network device configures the corresponding first reference signal set for the part of the downlink transmit beams it needs in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified part of the downlink transmit beams (first reference signal set).

[0114] For example, when the measurement report is used for AI model inference, the network device configures the corresponding first reference signal set for the required part of the downlink transmit beam in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified part of the downlink transmit beam (first reference signal set).

[0115] For example, when the measurement report is used for AI model performance monitoring, the network device configures the corresponding first reference signal set for the part of the downlink transmit beam required for AI model reasoning in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified part of the downlink transmit beam (first reference signal set).

[0116] When there are multiple AI models with the same function that require performance monitoring, the network device can configure multiple reporting configuration entities for the multiple AI models, and each reporting configuration entity configures a corresponding reference signal for the partial downlink transmit beam required for AI model reasoning. The terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified partial downlink transmit beam (first reference signal set). Alternatively, the network device can configure a reporting configuration entity for multiple AI models, and the entity configures the first reference signal set corresponding to the common downlink transmit beam required for multiple AI model reasoning, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of all or part of the downlink transmit beam (first reference signal set) specified by it. The network device makes a selection from the measurement results of the terminal device based on the downlink transmit beam required for reasoning of each AI model to perform performance monitoring of the AI ​​model.

[0117] In some embodiments, the measurement report includes measurement results corresponding to each first receiving beam in the first receiving beam set.

[0118] For example, when the measurement report is used to collect data for AI model training, the network device configures the first receiving beam set for the terminal device. When it is necessary to collect the measurement results of all downlink receiving beams, the network device configures the corresponding first receiving beam set for all downlink receiving beams in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of all downlink receiving beams (first receiving beam set). When it is only necessary to collect the measurement results of part of the downlink receiving beams, the network device configures the corresponding first receiving beam set for the part of the downlink receiving beams it needs in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of the part of the downlink receiving beams (first receiving beam set) it specifies.

[0119] For example, when the measurement report is used for AI model inference, the network device configures the first receiving beam set corresponding to the partial downlink receiving beam required for AI model inference in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified partial downlink receiving beam (first receiving beam set).

[0120] For example, when the measurement report is used for AI model performance monitoring, the network device configures the corresponding first receiving beam set for the part of the downlink receiving beam required for AI model reasoning in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified part of the downlink receiving beam (first receiving beam set).

[0121] When there are multiple AI models with the same function that require performance monitoring, the network device can configure multiple reporting configuration entities for the multiple AI models, and each reporting configuration entity configures a first receiving beam set corresponding to a portion of the downlink receiving beams required for AI model reasoning. The terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified portion of downlink receiving beams (first receiving beam set). Alternatively, the network device can configure a reporting configuration entity for multiple AI models, which entity configures a first receiving beam set corresponding to the common downlink receiving beams required for multiple AI model reasoning, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of all or part of the downlink receiving beams (first receiving beam set) specified by it. The network device makes a selection from the measurement results of the terminal device based on the downlink receiving beams required for reasoning of each AI model to perform performance monitoring of the AI ​​model.

[0122] In some embodiments, the measurement report includes measurement results corresponding to each first transceiver beam pair in the first transceiver beam pair set.

[0123] For example, when the measurement report is used for data collection for AI model training, the network device configures a first transceiver beam pair set for the terminal device. When it is necessary to collect the measurement results of all downlink transceiver beam pairs, the network device configures the corresponding first transceiver beam pair set for all downlink transceiver beam pairs in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of all downlink transceiver beam pairs (first transceiver beam pair set). When it is only necessary to collect the measurement results of some downlink transceiver beam pairs, the network device configures the corresponding first transceiver beam pair set for some of the downlink transceiver beam pairs it needs in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of some of the downlink transceiver beam pairs (first transceiver beam pair set) it specifies.

[0124] For example, when the measurement report is used for AI model inference, the network device configures the first transceiver beam pair set corresponding to the partial downlink transceiver beam pairs required for AI model inference in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified partial downlink transceiver beam pairs (first transceiver beam pair set).

[0125] For example, when the measurement report is used for AI model performance monitoring, the network device configures the corresponding first transceiver beam pair set for the part of the downlink transceiver beam pairs required for AI model reasoning in the reporting configuration information, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of the specified part of the downlink transceiver beam pairs (first transceiver beam pair set).

[0126] When there are multiple AI models with the same function that require performance monitoring, the network device can configure multiple reporting configuration entities for the multiple AI models, and each reporting configuration entity configures a partial downlink transceiver beam pair required for AI model reasoning and configures the corresponding first transceiver beam pair set. The terminal device reports the measurement results of its specified partial downlink transceiver beam pair (first transceiver beam pair set). Alternatively, the network device can configure a reporting configuration entity for multiple AI models, and the entity configures the first transceiver beam pair set corresponding to the common downlink transceiver beam pair required for multiple AI model reasoning, and the terminal device reports the measurement results of all or part of its specified downlink transceiver beam pair (first transceiver beam pair set). The network device makes a selection from the measurement results of the terminal device based on the downlink transceiver beam pairs required for each AI model reasoning to perform performance monitoring of the AI ​​model.

[0127] The above embodiments are merely exemplary of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Appropriate modifications may be made based on the above embodiments. For example, the above embodiments may be used alone, or one or more of the above embodiments may be combined.

[0128] Through the above embodiments, by configuring the terminal device with the first transmitting beam (corresponding to the first reference signal), or the first receiving beam, or the information of the first transmitting and receiving beam pair that the terminal device needs to report, the terminal device reports the beam measurement results specified by the network device according to the configuration, thereby effectively enabling the AI ​​model to work in the reasoning stage, the training data collection stage or the model performance monitoring stage.
