Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to an information processing method, apparatus, terminal-side device, and network device. Background Art

[0002] In a New Radio (NR) system, in order to combat the path loss in high-frequency scenarios, the transmitter and the receiver obtain a matching beam pair through Beam Management (BM) to improve the beamforming gain. In the current beam management process, the base station needs to send reference signals on all transmit beams (Tx beams), resulting in a large consumption of reference signal resources. At the same time, the terminal (UE) side needs to measure the reference signals sent on each Tx beam for all receive beams (Rx beams) respectively, resulting in a large measurement overhead.

[0003] To reduce the consumption of reference signal resources, measurement overhead, and latency, it is considered to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) technologies to predict the optimal beam (or beam pair) based on the measurement results of partial beams (or beam pairs) or historical beam (or beam pair) measurement results. Since information such as the angle and shape of the transmit beam belongs to the proprietary information of the network side and cannot be informed to the UE, when implementing beam management using AI or ML technologies, it may be impossible to ensure the beam management performance due to the UE side being unable to obtain information such as the angle and shape of the transmit beam, resulting in inconsistent input and / or output of the UE side during the training phase and the inference phase.

[0237] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0238] The following introduces the related technologies involved in the present application:

[0239] 1. AI-based beam management

[0240] There are the following two sub-use cases of AI beam management:

[0241] BM-case1: Spatial domain beam prediction, that is, predicting the Top-K beams (or beam pairs) in Set A based on Set B measured at a certain moment;

[0242] BM-case2: Temporal domain beam prediction, that is, predicting the Top-K beams (or beam pairs) of Set A in the future N' moments based on Set B measured at the historical N moments.

[0243] Among them, Set B represents the input beam set corresponding to the AI model or function, and Set A represents the output beam set corresponding to the AI model or function; the Top-K beams (or beam pairs) represent the optimal beams (or beam pairs). For BM-case1, Set B can be a subset of Set A, or Set B is different from Set A (such as Set B is a wide beam and Set A is a narrow beam); for BM-case2, in addition to the above two situations, Set B can also be the same as Set A.

[0244] The life cycle management (LCM) of an AI or ML model refers to the complete process of an AI or ML model from generation to end, including data collection, model training, model update, recognition, inference, monitoring, activation or deactivation or switching or rollback, etc.

[0245] The LCM is divided into two types: the LCM based on the identification (ID) of an AI or ML model and the LCM based on the AI or ML function. Among them, the LCM based on the AI or ML model ID refers to the indication and management of the AI or ML model on the UE side through the model ID; the LCM based on the AI or ML function refers to the management of the AI or ML function on the UE side by the network side, such as the activation or deactivation of the function.

[0246] 2. Beam Indication

[0247] In the beam indication process, the beam indication can be completed through the indication of the Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) status information or the QCL information indication. After the base station selects the beam to be transmitted, it indicates the QCL information of the channel and / or reference signal to the terminal through the TCI status information. Among them, the Quasi-Co-Location information of type D (QCL-Type D) is an indication of the spatial reception parameters. For example: if the source reference signal of the QCL-Type D of reference signal 1 is reference signal 2, it means that the spatial reception parameters of reference signal 1 and reference signal 2 are the same.

[0248] As data-driven algorithms, AI or ML algorithms have the problem of generalization, that is, an AI or ML model trained in scenario 1 is difficult to be used in scenario 2. For example: in AI-based beam management, if the transmit beam codebook corresponding to the reference signal used for model training is inconsistent with the transmit beam codebook corresponding to the model inference phase, or the input and / or output beam arrangement of model training is inconsistent with the input and / or output beam arrangement of model inference, the performance of model inference may be poor. If the AI model is deployed on the network side, the network side can ensure the consistency of the transmit beam codebook corresponding to the reference signal of model training and the transmit beam codebook corresponding to the model inference phase, or the consistency of the input and / or output beam arrangement of model training and the input and / or output beam arrangement of model inference. If the AI model is deployed on the UE side, the interaction between the network side and the UE side is required to determine whether the beam codebooks in the training phase and the inference phase, and whether the input and / or output beam arrangement of model training is consistent with the input and / or output beam arrangement of model inference.

[0249] If the input and / or output during model training (i.e., Set B and / or Set A) is inconsistent with the input and / or output during model inference (i.e., Set B and / or Set A), the performance of model inference may be poor. Such inconsistency may be due to inconsistent beam codebooks or inconsistent beam arrangement patterns of the input and / or output. If the beam codebooks of base station 1 that sends reference signals for model training and base station 2 that sends reference signals for model inference are inconsistent, the AI model or function reported by the UE may be difficult to use after the UE accesses base station 2. If the beam codebooks of base station 1 and base station 2 are consistent, it is also necessary to ensure that the arrangement order of the input and / or output of the AI model is consistent to correctly use the AI model.

[0250] Considering that the beam codebook information such as the angle and shape of the transmission beam on the network side is proprietary information of the network side and cannot be informed to the UE. If the transmission beam codebook corresponding to the reference signal for model training is inconsistent with the transmission beam codebook corresponding to the model inference stage, or the beam arrangement pattern of the input and / or output during model training is inconsistent with the beam arrangement pattern of the input and / or output during model inference, the AI model may be unavailable. However, there is currently no specific solution on how to ensure the consistency of the beam codebooks in the training stage and the inference stage and the consistency of the beam arrangement pattern of the input and / or output during model training and the beam arrangement pattern of the input and / or output during model inference between the network side and the UE side.

[0251] Embodiments of this application provide an information processing method, apparatus, terminal-side device, and network device to determine the consistency between the input and / or output of the AI model or function in the training stage and the input and / or output of the AI model or function in the inference stage, so as to ensure the beam management performance based on AI or ML technology. Among them, the method and apparatus (or terminal-side device or network device) are based on the same inventive concept. Since the principles of the method and apparatus (or terminal-side device or network device) for solving problems are similar, the implementation of the method and apparatus (or terminal-side device or network device) can be referred to each other, and the repeated parts will not be elaborated.

[0252] As Figure 1 shown, embodiments of this application provide an information processing method, including the following steps:

[0253] Step 11: The terminal-side device sends first information corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function to the first network device.

[0254] Among them, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0255] Beam codebook dimension information;

[0256] The mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam;

[0257] The spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to the first set of reference signals and the reference signals corresponding to the second set of reference signals; the first set of reference signals is related to the input, and the second set of reference signals is related to the output.

[0258] Optionally, the terminal-side device includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a terminal (UE), a server on the UE side, etc. The first AI model and / or the first AI function may be an existing AI model or function of the terminal-side device. For example: the AI model corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function may be trained by a server on the UE side, or may also be trained by the UE, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0259] Optionally, the first AI model is obtained based on artificial intelligence or machine learning, and this first AI model may also be referred to as the first ML model. The first AI function may correspond to one or more AI models, and the functions of these one or more AI models are the same, that is, these one or more AI models all support the implementation of the first AI function. Correspondingly, this first AI function may also be referred to as the first ML function, that is, the first ML function may correspond to one or more ML models. Optionally, the UE may support activating or deactivating one or more AI models corresponding to the AI function, that is, the switching of the AI models corresponding to an AI function may be transparent to the network side.

[0260] Optionally, the fact that the first set of reference signals is related to the input means that the first set of reference signals is related to the input of the first AI model and / or the input of the AI model corresponding to the first AI function. The fact that the second set of reference signals is related to the output means that the second set of reference signals is related to the output of the first AI model and / or the output of the AI model corresponding to the first AI function.

[0261] In this embodiment, the terminal-side device sends the first information corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function to the first network device, and the first information includes at least one of beam codebook dimension information, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam, and the spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to the first set of reference signals and the reference signals corresponding to the second set of reference signals. Thus, the network side can determine whether it is consistent with the input and / or output corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function according to this first information without exposing proprietary information such as the angle and shape of the transmission beam on the network side. Then, beam management is performed based on the judgment result of the consistency, so as to ensure the performance of beam management.

[0262] Optionally, the beam codebook dimension information includes at least one of the following:

[0263] The beam codebook dimension information corresponding to the first reference signal set;

[0264] The beam codebook dimension information corresponding to the second reference signal set.

[0265] For example: The beam codebook dimension information includes: the number of beams in the horizontal dimension, and / or, the number of beams in the vertical dimension. For example, the beam codebook dimension information corresponding to the first reference signal set includes: the number of beams in the horizontal dimension corresponding to the first reference signal set, and / or, the number of beams in the vertical dimension corresponding to the first reference signal set. For example, the beam codebook dimension information corresponding to the second reference signal set includes: the number of beams in the horizontal dimension corresponding to the second reference signal set, and / or, the number of beams in the vertical dimension corresponding to the second reference signal set.

[0266] Optionally, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam includes at least one of the following:

[0267] The mapping relationship between the reference signal index and the beam index;

[0268] The mapping relationship between the arrangement order of the reference signals and the arrangement order of the beams;

[0269] The mapping relationship between the arrangement order of the reference signals and the beam index;

[0270] The first indication information for indicating the numbering method of the beam index.

[0271] For example: Taking the reference signal set as: [reference signal 11, reference signal 24,..., reference signal 36] as an example, this reference signal set includes the indices of 32 reference signals, corresponding to 32 beams. For example, the index 11 of the reference signal corresponds to the index 1 of the beam, the index 24 of the reference signal corresponds to the index 2 of the beam,..., which means the mapping relationship between the reference signal index and the beam index.

[0272] For example: The reference signal set includes multiple reference signals. The first reference signal corresponds to the first beam, the second reference signal corresponds to the second beam,..., the kth reference signal corresponds to the kth beam,..., which means the mapping relationship between the arrangement order of the reference signals and the arrangement order of the beams.

[0273] For example: The reference signal set includes multiple reference signals. The first reference signal corresponds to the beam index 1, the second reference signal corresponds to the beam index 2,..., the kth reference signal corresponds to the beam index k,..., which means the mapping relationship between the arrangement order of the reference signals and the beam index.

[0274] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0275] The beam start angle of the horizontal dimension corresponding to the first beam index;

[0276] The beam start angle of the vertical dimension corresponding to the first beam index;

[0277] The numbering order of the beam indices.

[0278] For example: The numbering order of the beam indices may include: the numbering order of first horizontal then vertical, or the numbering order of first vertical then horizontal.

[0279] For example, if the beam start angle of the horizontal dimension is -60, the beam start angle of the vertical dimension is 90, and the numbering order is the numbering order of first vertical then horizontal, then the numbering method of the beam indices can be expressed as: the beam in the horizontal direction starts from -60 degrees, the beam in the vertical direction starts from 90 degrees, and the numbering order of first vertical then horizontal is adopted, that is, the beam indices are determined as Figure 2 shown.

[0280] Optionally, the first indication information may include at least one of a first bit, a second bit, and a third bit, where the first bit is used to indicate the beam start angle of the horizontal dimension, the second bit is used to indicate the beam start angle of the vertical dimension, and the third bit is used to indicate the numbering order of the beam indices (for example, the third bit being "1" indicates the numbering order of first horizontal then vertical, the third bit being "0" indicates the numbering order of first vertical then horizontal, or it may also be that the third bit being "1" indicates the numbering order of first vertical then horizontal, the third bit being "0" indicates the numbering order of first horizontal then vertical, etc.).

[0281] Optionally, the first indication information may also be an index value. For example, the network side pre-configures or indicates configuration information of the numbering method of one or more beam indices, or configuration information of the numbering method of one or more beam indices is agreed upon based on a protocol. And in the case that different index values correspond to different configuration information (for example, the configuration information includes at least one of the beam start angle of the horizontal dimension, the beam start angle of the vertical dimension, and the numbering order of the beam indices), the index value indicated by N bits can indicate the corresponding numbering method of the beam indices, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0282] Optionally, the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set includes at least one of the following:

[0283] The reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set;

[0284] The quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set.

[0285] For example, the reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set. It can also be understood that the first reference signal set is a subset of the second reference signal set, or that some or all of the reference signals in the second reference signal set constitute the first reference signal set, etc. Taking the network side to configure the second reference signal set as: [reference signal 11, reference signal 24, …, reference signal 36], this second reference signal set includes 32 reference signals, corresponding to 32 beams; and taking the first reference signal set configured with a 32-bit bitmap as: [10000100001000011000010000100001] as an example, for instance, if the i-th bit in the bitmap is “1”, it means that the i-th reference signal in the second reference signal set belongs to the first reference signal set, and if the i-th bit is “0”, it means that the i-th reference signal in the second reference signal set does not belong to the first reference signal set. That is, by indicating which or which reference signals in the second reference signal set belong to the first reference signal set (i.e., the reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set), the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set is implicitly indicated.

[0286] For example: in the case where the reference signals in the first reference signal set are different from the reference signals in the second reference signal set, the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set can be explicitly indicated through the QCL relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set. For instance, if the QCL relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set is that the source reference signal of QCL of reference signal 1 in the second reference signal set is reference signal 2 in the first reference signal set, it means that the spatial reception parameters of reference signal 1 and reference signal 2 are the same.

[0287] Optionally, before the terminal device sends the first information corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function to the first network device, it further includes:

[0288] The terminal device receives the reference signals sent by the second network device;

[0289] The terminal device measures the reference signals to obtain a measurement result;

[0290] The terminal device performs model training based on the measurement result to obtain the first AI model, and establishes the corresponding relationship between the first AI model and the first information, and / or establishes the corresponding relationship between the first AI function corresponding to the first AI model and the first information.

[0291] Optionally, the reference signal sent by the second network device is used for the terminal-side device to train the AI model. For example, the reference signal sent by the second network device includes: a first reference signal set related to the input and a second reference signal set related to the output; wherein, the first reference signal set and the second reference signal set each include one or more reference signals.

[0292] For example, before the second network device sends the reference signal, it may also send configuration information of the reference signal to the UE for configuring the first reference signal set and the second reference signal set; or the second network device may also activate the configuration information of the reference signal through signaling so that the UE can know the first reference signal set and the second reference signal set, etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0293] It should be noted that the first network device and the second network device may be the same or different.

[0294] Optionally, before the terminal-side device receives the reference signal sent by the second network device, it further includes:

[0295] The terminal-side device receives a first signaling sent by the second network device; wherein, the first signaling carries at least one of the following information:

[0296] Beam codebook dimension information;

[0297] Mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam;

[0298] Spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set.

[0299] For example: when the second network device sends a reference signal for the terminal-side device to train the first AI model, the second network device may also send a first signaling to the terminal for the terminal-side device to establish a correspondence between the first AI model and the first information, and / or establish a correspondence between the first AI function corresponding to the first AI model and the first information.

[0300] For example, the first signaling may be a signaling for configuring or activating the configuration information of the reference signal, that is, when the second network device configures or activates the configuration information of the reference signal using the first signaling, it carries at least one of the beam codebook dimension information, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam, and the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set through the first signaling. Or, the first signaling may also be a signaling independent of the second signaling, and the second signaling is used for configuring or activating the configuration information of the reference signal, etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0301] It should be noted that for the terminal-side device, information such as the beam codebook dimension information for establishing the corresponding relationship, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam, and the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set can be obtained through interaction with the network side (such as obtained through the first signaling), or can be obtained by other means.

[0302] For example, when the first signaling does not include the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set, the method further includes:

[0303] The terminal-side device determines the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set according to the first signaling.

[0304] For example, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam is preset (such as based on protocol agreements, etc.).

[0305] Optionally, the reference signal includes: Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and / or Synchronization Signal Block (SSB).

[0306] As Figure 3 shown, a flowchart of the interaction between the UE-side device and the network device is given. It should be noted that taking the server on the UE side for model training and model storage as an example, the communication between the UE and the server on the UE side belongs to the internal behavior of the UE-side device, that is, the communication process between the UE and the server on the UE side is not discussed, and the UE and the server on the UE side are collectively referred to as the UE-side device. The specific process includes:

[0307] Step 1: Base Station 1 configures and sends reference signals to UE1 and UE2 for the UE-side device (such as the UE-side server) to collect data for model training.

[0308] Base Station 1 also informs UE1 and UE2 of the dimension information of the beam codebook corresponding to the reference signal it sends (such as the number of vertical-dimensional beams and the number of horizontal-dimensional beams), and the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam. Optionally, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam can also be pre-determined by Base Station 1 and UE1 and UE2 based on the protocol, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0309] Step 2: The UE-side device trains a model to establish a correspondence between the AI model or AI function and at least one of the following information:

[0310] Beam codebook dimension information; for example: the beam codebook dimension information of the first reference signal set related to the input, and / or the beam codebook dimension information of the second reference signal set related to the output.

[0311] Spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set;

[0312] Mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam;

[0313] Among them, the reference signals in the first reference signal set can also be called the reference signals corresponding to the input beam set (Set B), and the reference signals in the second reference signal set can also be called the reference signals corresponding to the output beam set (Set A). The spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set can be configured by the base station 1 for the UE-side device, or determined by the UE-side device itself based on the configuration information of the reference signal.

[0314] Optionally, if Set B is a subset of Set A, or the base station 1 and the UE-side device determine based on a consistent understanding that the reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set, that is, the base station 1 and the UE-side device understand consistently: which or which of the reference signals in the second reference signal set are the reference signals in the first reference signal set, that is, it means determining the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set. Or if Set B and Set A are different, the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set can be indicated by the QCL relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set.

[0315] Step 3: UE3 accesses the base station 2 to perform AI model recognition or AI function recognition, or reports the AI model or AI function trained in Step 2, and reports the basic information of the AI model corresponding to the AI model or AI function, including: beam codebook dimension information, spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set.

[0316] Optionally, if the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam has not been previously determined between UE3 and the base station 2, UE3 can also report the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam to the base station 2 in this Step 3;

[0317] Step 4: The base station 2 determines whether it supports sending a reference signal that matches the above information based on the beam codebook dimension information reported by the UE3 and the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set. If so, it is determined that the reference signal can be sent; otherwise, the reference signal is not sent.

[0318] Step 5: If the base station 2 determines in Step 4 that the reference signal can be sent, the base station 2 configures and sends the reference signal corresponding to the AI model or AI function according to the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam; otherwise, the reference signal corresponding to the AI model or AI function is not sent.

[0319] Step 6: The UE-side device receives the reference signal sent by the base station 2 for model inference (such as determining the optimal beam) or performance testing, etc.

[0320] The terminal-side device involved in the embodiments of this application can be a terminal device or a terminal-side server. For example, a terminal device refers to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, such as a handheld device with wireless connection capabilities, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, etc. In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device can be called a User Equipment (UE). The wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (CN) via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The wireless terminal device can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it can be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-integrated, or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges language and / or data with the wireless access network. For example, devices such as Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), etc. The wireless terminal device can also be called a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal device, an access terminal device, a user terminal device, a user agent, a user device, which is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0321] As Figure 4 shown, the embodiments of this application provide an information processing method, including the following steps:

[0322] Step 41: A first network device receives first information corresponding to a first AI model and / or a first AI function sent by a terminal-side device.

[0323] Step 42: The first network device sends a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function according to the first information, or does not send a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function.

[0324] Among them, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0326] Mapping relationship between reference signals and beams;

[0327] Spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to the first reference signal set and the reference signals corresponding to the second reference signal set; the first reference signal set is related to the input, and the second reference signal set is related to the output.

[0328] Optionally, the beam codebook dimension information includes at least one of the following:

[0333] Mapping relationship between the arrangement order of the reference signals and the arrangement order of the beams;

[0334] Mapping relationship between the arrangement order of the reference signals and the beam index

[0335] The first indication information is used to indicate the numbering method of the beam index.

[0336] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0337] Beam start angle of the horizontal dimension corresponding to the first beam index;

[0338] Beam start angle of the vertical dimension corresponding to the first beam index;

[0339] Numbering order of the beam index.

[0340] Optionally, the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set includes at least one of the following:

[0341] The reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set;

[0342] QCL relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set.

[0343] Optionally, the first network device sends a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function according to the first information, or does not send a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function, including:

[0344] When the first network device determines according to the first information that it supports configuring a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function, it sends a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function;

[0345] Or,

[0346] When the first network device determines according to the first information that it does not support configuring a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function, it does not send a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function.

[0347] For example: When the first network device determines according to the first information that it supports configuring a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function, it may configure or activate the configuration information of the reference signal according to the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam in the first information, and send a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function.

[0348] Another example: When the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam is not included in the first information, if the first network device determines according to the first information that it supports configuring a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function, it may configure or activate the configuration information of the reference signal according to the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam determined in advance with the terminal device, and send a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function.

[0349] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0350] When a first condition is met, the network device determines that it supports configuring a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function;

[0351] Or,

[0352] When any item in the first condition is not met, the network device determines that it does not support configuring a reference signal corresponding to the first AI model and / or the first AI function;

[0353] Wherein, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0354] The first network device determines that it is consistent with the beam codebook dimension information in the first information;

[0355] The first network device determines that the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set in the first information is consistent;

[0356] The first network device determines that the mapping relationship between the reference signals and the beams in the first information is consistent.

[0357] For example: The beam codebook dimension information in the first information is: 8 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension, and the beam codebook dimension information supported by the first network device for transmitting beams includes 8 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension, then it is determined that it is consistent with the beam codebook dimension information in the first information.

[0358] For example: The first information indicates which or which reference signals in the second reference signal set constitute the first reference signal set, and the first network device supports configuring the reference signals in the first reference signal set to belong to the second reference signal set, then it is determined that the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set in the first information is consistent.

[0359] For example: The mapping relationship between the reference signals and the beams in the first information is: the starting angle of the horizontal beam number: -60 degrees, the starting angle of the vertical beam number: 90 degrees, and the beam numbering is performed in the order of vertical first and then horizontal. And the kth reference signal in the second reference signal set corresponds to the kth beam, and the first network device supports beam numbering according to the starting angle of the horizontal beam number: -60 degrees, the starting angle of the vertical beam number: 90 degrees, and in the order of vertical first and then horizontal, and configures the reference signals according to the kth reference signal in the second reference signal set corresponding to the kth beam, then it is determined that it is consistent with the mapping relationship between the reference signals and the beams in the first information.

[0386] Optionally, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam is preset.

[0387] It should be noted that the information processing method of the second network device in the embodiments of the present application and the information processing method of the above terminal-side device are based on the same inventive concept, and the embodiments of the two can be referred to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

In some network architectures, the network device can include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit can also be geographically separated.

[0389] The following describes the information processing method provided by the embodiments of this application in combination with specific embodiments:

[0390] Embodiment 1: The UE-side device deploys an AI or ML model for airspace beam prediction, and the input beam set Set B is a subset of the output beam set Set A, that is, the reference signals in the first reference signal set related to the input belong to the second reference signal set related to the output. As Figure 6 shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0391] Step 1: The UE-side device receives the reference signals sent by Base Station 1 for model training.

[0392] Taking the beam codebook dimension corresponding to Set A (i.e., the second reference signal set) of Base Station 1 as an example, with 8 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension, a total of 32 beams, Base Station 1 configures the following reference signals for the UE-side device:

[0393] Reference signal set 1 (corresponding to the Set A beam set, i.e., the second reference signal set) = [CSI-RS11, CSI-RS24,..., CSI-RS36];

[0394] Reference signal set 2 (corresponding to the Set B beam set, i.e., the first reference signal set) bit map = [10000100001000011000010000100001].

[0395] There are 32 CSI-RS indexes in reference signal set 1, corresponding to 32 Set A beams. Reference signal set 2 is indicated by a 32-bit bitmap. When the i-th bit is "1", it means that the beam corresponding to the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 is a beam of Set B (i.e., the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 belongs to the first reference signal set). When the i-th bit is "0", it means that the beam corresponding to the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 is not a beam of Set B (i.e., the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 does not belong to the first reference signal set).

[0396] Base Station 1 and the UE-side device pre-specify the following mapping relationship between reference signals and beams:

[0397] a) The mapping relationship between the reference signals in reference signal set 1 and the 32 beams of Base Station 1 is: the k-th reference signal corresponds to the k-th beam;

[0398] b) The numbering method of beam indexes is: the horizontal direction beams start from -60 degrees, the vertical direction beams start from 90 degrees, and the numbering is in the order of vertical first and then horizontal. For example, continue to refer to Figure 5 as shown ( Figure 5 where the circles represent beams, and the numbers 1, 2,..., 32 in them represent the corresponding beam indexes).

[0399] Step 2: The UE-side device trains the AI or ML model #1 according to the reference signals received in Step 1, and establishes the corresponding relationship between the AI or ML model #1 and the following first information, as Figure 10 shown:

[0400] The beam codebook dimensions of Set A and / or Set B (i.e., the beam codebook dimensions corresponding to the first reference signal set and / or the second reference signal set): 8 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension;

[0401] The spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to Set B and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set): Set B is a subset of Set A (for example, the reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set);

[0402] The mapping relationship between the reference signals and the beams: The k-th reference signal corresponds to the k-th beam; The starting angle of the horizontal beam numbering: -60 degrees; The starting angle of the vertical beam numbering: 90 degrees; The numbering order: vertical first and then horizontal.

[0403] Among them, Set B is a subset of Set A (for example, the reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set), that is, it is indicated by a bitmap which one or which of the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., in the second reference signals) constitute the reference signal set corresponding to Set B (i.e., indicated by the second reference signal set), that is, it implicitly indicates the spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to Set B and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set).

[0404] Step 3: The UE-side device accesses the base station 2 and reports the basic information of the AI or ML model #1, including the AI or ML model #1 and the corresponding relationship between the AI or ML model #1 established in step 2 and the above information;

[0405] Step 4: The base station 2 receives the basic information reported by the UE-side device. If the beam codebook dimensions of the base station 2 are the same as those of the base station 1, the base station 2 determines that it can configure the reference signals that match the AI or ML model #1;

[0406] Step 5: According to the mapping relationship between the reference signals and the beams, the base station determines the index numbers of 32 transmission beams in the manner of the starting angle of the horizontal beam numbering: -60 degrees, the starting angle of the vertical beam numbering: 90 degrees, vertical first and then horizontal, and configures the following reference signals:

[0407] Reference signal set 1 (corresponding to the Set A beam set, i.e., the second reference signal set) = [CSI-RS19, CSI-RS36,..., CSI-RS9];

[0408] Reference signal set 2 (corresponding to the Set B beam set, i.e., the first reference signal set) bit map = [10000100001000011000010000100001].

[0409] In the above reference signal set 1, the k-th reference signal corresponds to the k-th beam.

[0410] Embodiment 2: The UE-side device deploys an AI or ML model for airspace beam prediction, and the input beam set Set B is different from the output beam set Set A. For example, Set B is a wide beam and Set A is a narrow beam.

[0411] Similar to the process of Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 6 for the specific process:

[0412] Step 1: The UE-side device receives the reference signals sent by Base Station 1 for model training.

[0413] Taking the beam codebook dimensions corresponding to Set A (i.e., the second reference signal set) of Base Station 1 as 8 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension, a total of 32 beams; and the beam codebook dimensions corresponding to Set B (i.e., the first reference signal set) as 4 beams in the horizontal dimension and 2 beams in the vertical dimension, a total of 8 beams as an example, Base Station 1 configures the following reference signals for the UE-side device:

[0414] Reference signal set 1 (corresponding to the Set A beam set, i.e., the second reference signal set) = [CSI-RS11, CSI-RS24,..., CSI-RS36];

[0415] Reference signal set 2 (corresponding to the Set B beam set, i.e., the first reference signal set) = [SSB1, SSB2,..., SSB8].

[0416] There are 32 CSI-RS indices in reference signal set 1, corresponding to 32 Set A beams. There are 8 SSB indices in reference signal set 2, corresponding to 8 Set B beams. When Base Station configures the 32 reference signals in reference signal set 1, it configures the source reference signal of QCL-Type D. For example: the source reference signals of QCL-Type D for these 32 reference signals are respectively [SSB1, SSB1, SSB1, SSB1,..., SSB8, SSB8, SSB8, SSB8].

[0417] Base Station 1 and the UE-side device pre-specify the following mapping relationship between reference signals and beams:

[0418] a) The mapping relationship between the CSI-RS in reference signal set 1 and the 32 CSI-RS beams of base station 1 is: the k-th CSI-RS corresponds to the k-th CSI-RS beam;

[0419] b) The mapping relationship between the SSB in reference signal set 2 and the 8 SSB beams of base station 1 is: the k-th SSB corresponds to the k-th SSB beam;

[0420] c) The numbering method of the beam indexes corresponding to reference signal set 1 and reference signal set 3 is: the horizontal direction beams start from -60 degrees, the vertical direction beams start from 90 degrees, and the numbering is in the order of vertical first and then horizontal.

[0421] Step 2: The UE-side device trains the AI or ML model #1 according to the reference signals received in Step 1, and establishes the corresponding relationship between the AI or ML model #1 and the following first information, as Figure 8 shown:

[0422] The beam codebook dimensions of Set A and / or Set B (i.e., the beam codebook dimensions corresponding to the first reference signal set and the second reference signal set);

[0423] The spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to Set B and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set);

[0424] The mapping relationship between the reference signals and the beams.

[0425] Among them, since the reference signals corresponding to Set B (i.e., the reference signals in the first reference signal set) are SSBs, and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the reference signals in the second reference signal set) are CSI-RSs, the reference signals corresponding to Set B (i.e., the reference signals in the first reference signal set) can be used as the source reference signals of QCL-Type D for the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the reference signals in the second reference signal set). That is, through the QCL relationship between the reference signals corresponding to Set B and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the QCL relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set), the spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to Set B and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set) can be explicitly indicated.

[0426] For example: The value X of the i-th digit in the sequence [11112222333344445555666677778888] can be used to represent that the source reference signal of QCL-TypeD for the i-th reference signal corresponding to Set A (i.e., the i-th reference signal in the second reference signal set) is the X-th reference signal corresponding to Set B (the X-th reference signal in the first reference signal set). For instance, the value of the 3rd digit in the sequence is 1, indicating that the QCL-TypeD of the 3rd reference signal in reference signal set 1 is the 1st reference signal in reference signal set 2.

[0427] Step 3: The UE-side device accesses base station 2 and reports the basic information of AI or ML model #1, including AI or ML model #1 and the corresponding relationship between AI or ML model #1 established in step 2 and the above information.

[0428] Step 4: Base station 2 receives the basic information reported by the UE-side device. If the beam codebook dimensions of base station 2 and base station 1 are the same, the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam is the same, and the above spatial relationship is also the same, then base station 2 determines that a reference signal matching AI or ML model #1 can be configured.

[0429] Step 5: According to the mapping relationship between the reference signal and the beam, number the beams of Set A (i.e., the beam corresponding to the second reference signal set) and the beams of Set B (i.e., the beam corresponding to the first reference signal set), and configure the reference signal, and the configured reference signal satisfies the corresponding relationship that the k-th reference signal corresponds to the k-th beam.

[0430] Embodiment 3: The UE-side device deploys an AI or ML model for airspace beam prediction, and the input beam set Set B is a subset of the output beam set Set A, that is, the reference signals in the first reference signal set related to the input belong to the second reference signal set related to the output. The specific process is as follows:

[0431] Step 1: The UE-side device receives the reference signal sent by base station 1 for model training.

[0432] Taking the beam codebook dimensions of Set A (i.e., the second reference signal set) of base station 1 as 8 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension, a total of 32 beams as an example, base station 1 configures the following reference signals for the UE-side device:

[0433] Reference signal set 1 (corresponding to the Set A beam set, i.e., the second reference signal set) = [CSI-RS11, CSI-RS24,..., CSI-RS36];

[0434] Reference signal set 2 (corresponding to the Set B beam set, i.e., the first reference signal set) bitmap = [10000100001000011000010000100001].

[0435] There are 32 CSI-RS indices in reference signal set 1, corresponding to 32 Set A beams. Reference signal set 2 is indicated by a 32-bit bitmap. When the i-th bit is "1", it means that the beam corresponding to the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 is a Set B beam (i.e., the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 belongs to the first reference signal set). When the i-th bit is "0", it means that the beam corresponding to the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 is not a Set B beam (i.e., the i-th reference signal in reference signal set 1 does not belong to the first reference signal set).

[0436] Base station 1 and the UE-side device pre-define the following mapping relationship between reference signals and beams:

[0437] a) The mapping relationship between the reference signals in reference signal set 1 and the 32 beams of base station 1 is: the k-th reference signal corresponds to the k-th beam;

[0438] b) The numbering method of beam indices is: the horizontal direction beams start from -60 degrees, the vertical direction beams start from 90 degrees, and the numbering is in the order of vertical first and then horizontal. For example, continue to refer to Figure 5 as shown in Figure 5 (the circles in

[0439] represent beams, and the numbers 1, 2,..., 32 inside represent the corresponding beam indices). Figure 7 as shown:

[0440] The beam codebook dimensions of Set A and / or Set B (i.e., the beam codebook dimensions corresponding to the first reference signal set and / or the second reference signal set): 8 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension;

[0441] The spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to Set B and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set): Set B is a subset of Set A (for example, the reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set);

[0442] Mapping relationship between reference signals and beams: The k-th reference signal corresponds to the k-th beam; Starting angle of horizontal beam numbering: -60 degrees; Starting angle of vertical beam numbering: 90 degrees; Numbering order: vertical first and then horizontal.

[0443] Among them, Set B is a subset of Set A (for example, the reference signals in the first reference signal set belong to the second reference signal set), that is, it is indicated by a bitmap which or which reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., in the second reference signals) constitute the reference signal set corresponding to Set B (i.e., indicated by the second reference signal set), that is, it implicitly indicates the spatial relationship between the reference signals corresponding to Set B and the reference signals corresponding to Set A (i.e., the spatial relationship between the reference signals in the first reference signal set and the reference signals in the second reference signal set).

[0444] Step 3: The UE-side device accesses the base station 2 and reports the basic information of the AI or ML model #1, including the AI or ML model #1 and the corresponding relationship between the AI or ML model #1 established in step 2 and the above information.

[0445] Step 4: Taking the beam codebook dimension corresponding to Set A (i.e., the second reference signal set) of the base station 2 as an example, there are 6 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension, a total of 24 beams. The base station 2 receives the basic information reported by the UE-side device. If the base station 2 determines that its beam codebook dimension is inconsistent with the beam codebook dimension corresponding to the AI or ML model #1, the base station 2 judges that it does not support sending the reference signals matching the AI or ML model #1. Therefore, the base station 2 does not send the reference signals corresponding to the AI or ML model #1.

[0446] It should be noted that in this step 4, the base station 2 does not send the reference signals corresponding to the AI or ML model #1, which is not limited to the base station 2 can send other reference signals. For example, the base station 2 sends reference signals according to the beam codebook dimension of 6 beams in the horizontal dimension and 4 beams in the vertical dimension, which are used for the terminal-side device to train the AI or ML model, or for other UE-side devices to perform model inference, or performance testing, etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
