[0064] For ease of understanding, some terms involved in the embodiments of this application are explained below:

[0065] 1. About AI

[0066] Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently being widely applied in various fields. Integrating AI into wireless communication networks to significantly improve technical indicators such as throughput, latency, and user capacity is a key task for future wireless communication networks. AI modules can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, and Bayesian classifiers. This application uses neural networks as an example, but does not limit the specific type of AI module.

[0067] Schematic diagram of a neural network Figure 2 As shown:

[0068] Among them, the neural network is composed of neurons, and the schematic diagram of neurons is as follows Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1. a1, a2, …, aK are inputs, w is the weight (multiplicative coefficient), b is the bias (additive coefficient), and σ(.) is the activation function. Common activation functions include Sigmoid, tanh, linear rectification function, or rectified linear unit (ReLU).

[0069] Neural network parameters are optimized using a gradient optimization algorithm. Gradient optimization algorithms are a class of algorithms that minimize or maximize an objective function (also known as a loss function). This objective function is often a mathematical combination of model parameters and data. For example, given data X and its corresponding label Y, we construct a neural network model f(.). With this model, we can obtain the predicted output f(x) based on the input x, and calculate the difference between the predicted value and the true value (f(x) - Y). This is the loss function. We find the appropriate values W and b that minimize the loss function. The smaller the loss value, the closer the model is to the true value.

[0070] Currently, most common optimization algorithms are based on the back propagation (BP) algorithm. The basic idea of the BP algorithm is that the learning process consists of two steps: forward propagation of signals and back propagation of errors. During forward propagation, input samples are passed from the input layer, processed layer by layer through each hidden layer, and then transmitted to the output layer. If the actual output of the output layer does not match the expected output, the error begins back propagation. Back propagation involves propagating the output error back through the hidden layers to the input layer layer by layer in some form, distributing the error to all units in each layer. This error signal is then generated for each unit in each layer, which serves as the basis for adjusting the weights of each unit. This process of adjusting the weights of each layer, through forward propagation of signals and back propagation of errors, is repeated over and over again. This process of continuous weight adjustment is the network's learning and training process. This process continues until the error in the network output is reduced to an acceptable level, or until a pre-set number of learning cycles is reached.

[0071] Common optimization algorithms include gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent (SGD), mini-batch gradient descent, momentum method (Momentum), stochastic gradient descent with momentum (Nesterov), adaptive gradient descent (Adagrad), Adadelta, root mean square error (RMSprop), adaptive momentum estimation (Adam), etc.

[0072] When these optimization algorithms backpropagate errors, they all calculate the derivative / partial derivative of the current neuron based on the error / loss obtained by the loss function, add the influence of the learning rate, the previous gradient / derivative / partial derivative, etc., obtain the gradient, and pass the gradient to the previous layer.

[0073] The AI unit / AI model described in this application may also be referred to as an AI unit, an AI model, a machine learning (ML) model, an ML unit, an AI structure, an AI function, an AI feature, a machine learning model, a neural network, a neural network function, a neural network function, etc., or the AI unit / AI model may also refer to a processing unit that can implement specific algorithms, formulas, processing procedures, capabilities, etc. related to AI, or the AI unit / AI model may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module or unit for a specific data set, or the AI unit / AI model may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module or unit running on AI / ML related hardware such as a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural network processor (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc., and the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this. Optionally, the specific data set includes the input or output of the AI unit / AI model.

[0074] Optionally, the identifier of the AI unit / AI model may be an AI model identifier, an AI structure identifier, an AI algorithm identifier, or an identifier of a specific data set associated with the AI unit / AI model, or an identifier of a specific scenario, environment, channel feature, or device related to the AI / ML, or an identifier of a function, feature, capability, or module related to the AI / ML. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0075] 2. Space-time channel model

[0076] Space-time channel model:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, τ represents the delay, t represents the time t, n represents the index of the path, N(t) represents the total number of paths between the base station and the terminal at time t, α n Characterizes the amplitude of the nth path, is the phase of the nth path, θ n Characterizes the path arrival angle of the nth path, a(θ n (t)) represents the angle θ n vector, δ represents the δ function, τ n Indicates the delay of the nth path.

[0079] in,

[0080]

[0081] Where M represents the number of antennas

[0082] The vector of the sth beam of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) simulation codebook is:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, φ s Characterizes the beam angle.

[0085] Multiplying the two, the equivalent (single) port channel seen by the receiver is

[0086]

[0087] in:

[0088]

[0089] Fejer kernel example Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The horizontal coordinate x=θ n -φ s, is the path arrival angle θ n With beam angle φ s Substitute the difference and get the equivalent channel:

[0090]

[0091] For the angle θ of the nth path n It is fixed. For different beam directions, there will be different reference signal path power RSRPP:

[0092]

[0093] The direction of the beam φ s The RSRPP for different paths is different. Figure 5 As shown in FIG, for uplink transmission, different receiving beams on the base station side see different absolute and relative powers of the paths.

[0094] The RSRPP obtained by channel estimation based on receiving beam 1 is as follows Figure 6a shown.

[0095] The RSRPP obtained by channel estimation based on receive beam 2 is as follows Figure 6b shown.

[0096] The RSRPP obtained by channel estimation based on receive beam 3 is as follows Figure 6c shown.

[0097] When the angle difference x=θ n -φ s It falls exactly on the zero point of the Fejer kernel, and some paths may even disappear (even the strongest path).

[0098] In addition, the influence of the beam direction at the transmitter is similar to that at the receiver, and is related to the starting angle of the path.

[0099] The effect of transmit power on RSRPP for all paths is the same, as follows:

[0100] For receiving beam 1, when the transmit power is P, RSRPP is as follows: Figure 6d shown.

[0101] For receiving beam 1, when the transmit power is P / 2, RSRPP is as follows: Figure 6e shown.

[0102] 3. About the path:

[0103] The first device (such as a terminal) obtains a frequency domain or time domain channel impulse response based on the reference signal measurement, which is equivalent to sampling the channel. The delay power spectrum of the channel is as follows: Figure 7As shown, multipath information can be further extracted from the channel impulse response, such as considering the peak position of the delay power spectrum as the path of the channel; Figure 7 The green lines in the middle can be considered the sampling points of the time domain channel, described here as channel sampling points or channel taps. The time interval between adjacent taps is determined by the receiver sampling rate. For example, if the receiver sampling rate is 100M, the time interval between adjacent taps is 1*10^(-8) seconds.

[0104] The path described in the embodiment of the present application includes both the channel path obtained by processing the channel impulse response by the device shown by the red line, and the channel sampling points or channel taps.

[0105] The following describes in detail the information reporting method, apparatus and device provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0106] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flow chart of an information reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the information reporting method includes the following steps:

[0107] Step 101: A first device measures a reference signal to obtain at least one first channel measurement information;

[0108] Step 102: The first device performs a first process on the at least one first channel measurement information to obtain second channel measurement information;

[0109] Step 103: The first device reports the second channel measurement information to the second device.

[0110] Among them, the reference signal may include at least one of the following: synchronization signal block (SynchronizationSignal Block, SSB), channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSIReference Signal, CSI-RS), positioning reference signal (Positioning Reference Signal, PRS), and sounding reference signal (SRS).

[0111] It should be noted that the first device measuring the reference signal can be understood as the first device measuring the reference signal resource.

[0112] In addition, the number of the reference signals may be one or more, and the one or more reference signals may be associated with N (N>=1) reference signal resources. The first device may receive the one or more reference signals through M (M>=1) receiving beams for measurement to obtain S first channel measurement information.

[0113] In one embodiment, the first device can measure multiple reference signal resources through multiple receiving beams; or, the first device can measure one or more reference signal resources through an omnidirectional antenna; or, the first device can measure multiple reference signal resources through one receiving beam; or, the first device can measure the same reference signal resource through multiple receiving beams.

[0114] By way of example, the first device (such as a terminal) can measure N reference signal resources through M receiving beams, and the N reference signal resources and M receiving beams can have N*M combinations to obtain N*M first channel measurement information; by way of example, the first device can measure N reference signal resources through an omnidirectional antenna, and there is no receiving beamforming at this time, to obtain N first channel measurement information; by way of example, the first device can measure N reference signal resources through the same receiving beam to obtain N first channel measurement information; by way of example, the first device can measure the same reference signal resource through M receiving beams to obtain M first channel measurement information.

[0115] In addition, the first channel measurement information may be related information obtained through channel measurement. For example, the first channel measurement information may include a channel impulse response, which includes at least one of multipath delay information, multipath power information, and multipath phase information; or, the first channel measurement information may include a delay power spectrum, which includes at least one of multipath delay information and multipath power information; or, the first channel measurement information may include a delay spectrum, which includes multipath delay information; or, the first channel measurement information may include other information obtained through channel measurement, such as RSRP; this embodiment does not limit the first channel measurement information.

[0116] In one implementation, the first channel measurement information may include at least one of a channel impulse response, a delay power spectrum, a delay spectrum, and RSRP.

[0117] In addition, the first processing may include weighted merging, feature extraction, averaging, quantization, or smoothing, among others. This embodiment does not limit this. For example, averaging may be averaging the at least one first channel measurement information to obtain the second channel measurement information; smoothing may be removing noise or outliers from the at least one first channel measurement information, for example, by setting path power values in the first channel measurement information that are less than a certain threshold to zero. For example, the quantization may include quantizing the path power value of the at least one first channel measurement information or quantizing the path phase. For example, the path power value X may be converted to dBm: x dBm = 10*10log10(X); and the path phase may be quantized: the path phase from 0 to π / 2 degrees is quantized to 00, the path phase from π / 2 to π degrees is quantized to 01, the path phase from π to 2π / 3 degrees is quantized to 10, and the path phase from 2π / 3 to 2π degrees is quantized to 11.

[0118] It should be understood that the first processing may include one or more processing, for example, it may include one or more of weighted merging processing, feature extraction processing, averaging processing, quantization processing and smoothing processing. For example, the at least one first channel measurement information may be smoothed first, and then the smoothed first channel measurement information may be weighted merging processing, feature extraction processing or averaging processing; or, the at least one first channel measurement information may be weighted merging processing, feature extraction processing, averaging processing or smoothing processing may be performed first, and then the processed information may be quantized; or, the at least one first channel measurement information may be quantized first, and then the processed information may be weighted merging processing, feature extraction processing, averaging processing or smoothing processing may be performed; and so on. This embodiment does not limit the first processing.

[0119] It should be noted that by combining the channel measurement information of multiple beam pairs or reference signal resources (such as smoothing processing) for reporting, when the second channel measurement information is used for AI positioning, a more robust positioning result can be obtained.

[0120] Among them, AI positioning can refer to determining the location information of the terminal based on the measurement information of the wireless channel through a machine learning method, and the location information includes at least one of the following: location coordinates, line-of-sight (LOS) or non-line-of-sight (NLOS) indication, angle information (such as angle of arrival (AOA), angle of departure (AOD)), delay information (such as time of arrival (TOA), reference signal time difference (RSTD)), etc. Among them, TOA can be the straight-line distance from the first device to the target TRP or the value obtained by dividing the straight-line distance by the speed of light.

[0121] AI positioning can also be described as a positioning method based on AI / machine learning (ML). To characterize and evaluate the performance of AI / ML-based positioning accuracy enhancement, two AI / ML-based positioning methods can be selected: direct AI / ML positioning or AI / ML-assisted positioning. Related technologies identify two representative sub-use cases: direct AI / ML positioning and AI / ML-assisted positioning for AI / ML-based positioning accuracy enhancement.

[0122] like Figure 9a Direct AI / ML positioning: The output of the model is the location coordinates.

[0123] like Figure 9b As shown in the figure, AI / ML assisted positioning: the output of the model is the intermediate features, based on which the position coordinates can be further calculated.

[0124] AI / ML-based positioning methods can be applied to the following scenarios:

[0125] like Figure 10a As shown, Case 1: UE-based positioning with UE-side model, direct AI / ML or AI / ML assisted positioning;

[0126] like Figure 10bAs shown in Figure 2a, Case 2a: UE-assisted / LMF-based positioning with UE-side model, AI / ML assisted positioning.

[0127] like Figure 10c As shown in Figure 2b, Case 2b: UE-assisted / LMF-based positioning with LMF-side model, direct AI / ML positioning;

[0128] like Figure 10d As shown in Figure 3a, NG-RAN node assisted positioning with gNB-side model, AI / ML assisted positioning;

[0129] like Figure 10e As shown in Figure 3b, Case 3b: NG-RAN node assisted positioning with LMF-side model, direct AI / ML positioning.

[0130] The embodiments of the present application are particularly applicable to the scenarios of Case 2b and Case 3b, namely: the UE reports channel measurement information to the LMF, in which case the first device is the UE and the second device is the LMF; or the base station reports channel measurement information to the LMF, in which case the first device is the base station and the second device is the LMF.

[0131] In one embodiment, the first device obtains at least one first channel measurement information by measuring a reference signal; the first device performs first processing on the at least one first channel measurement information to obtain second channel measurement information; the first device reports first information to the second device, and the first information includes at least second channel measurement information.

[0132] In addition, each first channel measurement information may be associated with a different beam pair. A beam pair may refer to a beam pair consisting of a reference signal transmit beam and a reference signal receive beam, and the reference signal transmit beam may correspond one-to-one to a reference signal resource. The reference signal transmit beam may be briefly described as a transmit beam, and the reference signal receive beam may be briefly described as a receive beam. At least one of the transmit beams (or described as reference signal resources) and receive beams of different beam pairs is different. The transmit beams or receive beams of different beam pairs are different, and the difference may include but is not limited to any of the following: different indexes, different beam pointing angles, different beam widths, etc. If the first device (such as a terminal) receives the reference signal through an omnidirectional antenna, then the transmit beams of different beam pairs are different, or the reference signal resources of different beam pairs are different.

[0133] In one embodiment, the first device includes at least one of the following: a terminal device, an access network device;

[0134] In one implementation, the second device includes at least one of the following: a third-party server, an access network device, and a core network device.

[0135] It should be noted that in the related art, the first device directly reports channel measurement information to the second device, and the reporting overhead is relatively large; when the reported channel measurement information is used for AI positioning, the positioning performance is not robust, and the effect of information reporting is poor.

[0136] In the related art, NR positioning follows the 5G Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) beam management mechanism, resulting in different beam pair selections between the user equipment (UE, i.e., terminal) and the base station, which will lead to different channel measurement results. The relevant analysis and simulation results show that when the selected beam pair is inconsistent with the beam pair of the training set, it may seriously affect the positioning accuracy of the AI model. In the related art, by measuring and reporting the channel measurement information of multiple beam pairs, more degrees of freedom are provided for the AI positioning on the LMF side, resulting in a relatively large measurement amount reporting overhead for AI positioning. The embodiment of the present application performs a first processing on the at least one first channel measurement information, supports compression of the correlation of channels measured using different reference signal resources or multiple receiving beams, and can reduce the measurement amount reporting overhead for AI positioning.

[0137] The embodiment of the present application solves the generalization problem of different beams that may be caused by using the channel measurement information measured through a reference signal resource and a receiving beam as model input for each TRP, and the problem of large reporting overhead introduced by directly reporting multiple channel measurement information, by performing a first processing on at least one first channel measurement information obtained by measurement and then reporting the obtained second channel measurement information. The generalization problem refers to the problem of low positioning accuracy caused by the different beam pairs corresponding to the channel measurement information used during model training and model application. For example, the channel measurement information of the first beam pair is used during model training, but the channel measurement information of the second beam pair is used during model application, which will cause a significant decrease in positioning accuracy.

[0138] In this embodiment of the present application, a first device measures a reference signal to obtain at least one piece of first channel measurement information; the first device performs first processing on the at least one piece of first channel measurement information to obtain second channel measurement information; and the first device reports the second channel measurement information to a second device. In this manner, the first device performs first processing on the at least one piece of first channel measurement information obtained by measurement before reporting the obtained second channel measurement information. This improves the reporting efficiency of the channel measurement information compared to directly reporting the first channel measurement information.

[0139] Optionally, when there are multiple pieces of first channel measurement information, different pieces of first channel measurement information are associated with different at least one of the following: reference signal resources; receiving beam.

[0140] The at least one first channel measurement information may include S pieces of first channel measurement information associated with N (N>=1) reference signal resources and M (M>=1) receive beams. Each pair of the S pieces of first channel measurement information may be associated with at least one different item: a reference signal resource; or a receive beam. Different receive beams may be represented by different receive beam identifiers, which may be receive beam indexes.

[0141] For example, there may be N*M combinations of M reference signal resources and N receiving beams, and N*M first channel measurement information may be obtained.

[0142] In this embodiment, different first channel measurement information is associated with different reference signal resources or different receiving beams, so that multiple first channel measurement information associated with different reference signal resources or receiving beams can be subjected to a first processing and then reported to obtain the second channel measurement information, which can improve the reporting effect of the channel measurement information; and when the second channel measurement information is used for AI positioning, it can improve the accuracy of AI positioning.

[0143] Optionally, the first processing includes at least one of the following:

[0144] Weighted merging processing; feature extraction processing.

[0145] The weighted merging process may be to merge the at least one first channel measurement information into the second channel measurement information through a weighting coefficient.

[0146] It should be noted that the number of first channel measurement information participating in the first processing may be less than or equal to the number of first channel measurement information obtained by measuring the reference signal.

[0147] In one implementation, taking the number of first channel measurement information to be weighted and combined as S as an example, the S first channel measurement information is weighted and combined to obtain the second channel measurement information H as follows:

[0148] H=w1H1+w2H2+…+w S H S .

[0149] Among them, H1 to H S is the first channel measurement information, w1 to w S is the weighting coefficient.

[0150] In addition, the feature extraction process may be to extract features of the at least one first channel measurement information and use the extracted features as the second channel measurement information.

[0151] In one implementation, taking the number of first channel measurement information subjected to feature extraction processing as S as an example, the extracted features (i.e., second channel measurement information) may include at least one of the following:

[0152] The union of multipath delay information of S first channel measurement information;

[0153] The intersection of multipath delay information of S first channel measurement information;

[0154] multipath power information associated with multipath delay information of S pieces of first channel measurement information;

[0155] Multipath phase information associated with multipath delay information of S pieces of first channel measurement information;

[0156] The effective path extraction information of S first channel measurement information.

[0157] In this embodiment, the first device performs weighted merging or feature extraction on the at least one first channel measurement information to obtain second channel measurement information, and the first device reports the second channel measurement information to the second device. This reduces the reporting overhead of channel measurement information compared to directly reporting multiple first channel measurement information from the first device to the second device.

[0158] Optionally, when the first processing includes feature extraction processing, the second channel measurement information includes at least one of the following:

[0159] A union of multipath delay information of the at least one first channel measurement information;

[0160] An intersection of multipath delay information of the at least one first channel measurement information;

[0161] multipath power information associated with the multipath delay information of the at least one first channel measurement information;

[0162] multipath phase information associated with the multipath delay information of the at least one first channel measurement information;

[0163] The at least one first channel measurement information includes valid path extraction information.

[0164] The union of the multipath delay information of the at least one first channel measurement information may refer to a set consisting of the multipath delay information of the at least one first channel measurement information.

[0165] The intersection of the multipath delay information of the at least one first channel measurement information may refer to a set consisting of the same multipath delay information in the at least one first channel measurement information.

[0166] In addition, the effective path extraction information may be information obtained by performing effective path extraction on the at least one first channel measurement information, and the effective path extraction may be selecting path information whose reference signal path power RSRPP is greater than or equal to a first threshold, or setting the path whose RSRPP is less than or equal to a second threshold to 0.

[0167] Optionally, the valid path extraction information is path information whose reference signal path power is greater than or equal to a first threshold; or the valid path extraction information is path information obtained by setting paths whose reference signal path power is less than or equal to a second threshold to 0.

[0168] The first threshold value can be preset, and is not limited in this embodiment. For example, the first threshold value can be 10 dBm, 20 dBm, or 50 dBm, etc. The second threshold value can be preset, and is not limited in this embodiment. For example, the second threshold value can be 50 dBm, 70 dBm, or 90 dBm, etc.

[0169] Optionally, when the first processing includes a weighted merging process, a weight coefficient of the weighted merging process is associated with at least one of the following:

[0173] The number of the first channel measurement information;

[0174] The first indication information sent by the second device.

[0175] The number of the first channel measurement information may be understood as the number of first channel measurement information participating in the weighted combining process.

[0176] Among them, the weighted coefficient of the weighted combining processing can be determined based on at least one of the following items: RSRP associated with the at least one first channel measurement information; SINR associated with the at least one first channel measurement information; SNR associated with the at least one first channel measurement information; the number of the first channel measurement information; the first indication information sent by the second device.

[0177] In one embodiment, the weighted coefficient of the weighted combining process is determined based on the RSRP associated with the at least one first channel measurement information. Taking the number of first channel measurement information to be weighted combined as S as an example, each first channel measurement information is associated with an RSRP, and the weighted coefficient w1 can be: RSRP1 / (RSRP1+RSRP2+RSRP3+…+RSRP S ), RSRP1 to RSRP S The first channel measurement information H1 to H S The associated RSRP.

[0178] In one embodiment, the weighted coefficient of the weighted combining process is determined based on the SINR associated with the at least one first channel measurement information. Taking the number of first channel measurement information for weighted combining as S as an example, each first channel measurement information is associated with an SINR, and the weighted coefficient w1 can be: SINR1 / (SINR1+SINR2+SINR3+…+SINR S ), SINR1 to SINR S The first channel measurement information H1 to H SThe associated SINR.

[0179] In one embodiment, the weighted coefficient of the weighted combining process is determined based on the SNR associated with the at least one first channel measurement information. Taking the number of first channel measurement information to be weighted combined as S as an example, each first channel measurement information is associated with an SNR, and the weighted coefficient w1 can be: SNR1 / (SNR1+SNR2+SNR3+…+SNR S ), SNR1 to SNR S The first channel measurement information H1 to H S Associated SNR.

[0180] In one implementation, a weighting coefficient of the weighted combining process is associated with the number of the first channel measurement information. For example, the weighting coefficient may be: 1 / S, where S is the number of the first channel measurement information.

[0181] In one embodiment, the weighted coefficient of the weighted merging process may be directly indicated by the first indication information sent by the second device (such as LMF), that is, the first indication information is used to indicate the weighted coefficient of the weighted merging process; or, the first indication information may indicate a method for determining the weighted coefficient of the weighted merging process. For example, when the AI model for AI positioning is deployed on the LMF side, the LMF side may indicate the method for determining the weighted coefficient of the weighted merging process to the UE or TRP, so that the UE or TRP can generate the weighted coefficient of the weighted merging process in a specified manner.

[0182] It should be noted that the RSRP associated with the first channel measurement information may refer to the RSRP included in the first channel measurement information, or the RSRP calculated from the channel impulse response included in the first channel measurement information. The SINR associated with the first channel measurement information may refer to the SINR calculated from the channel impulse response included in the first channel measurement information. The SNR associated with the first channel measurement information may refer to the SNR calculated from the channel impulse response included in the first channel measurement information.

For example, the first processing includes weighted combining processing, and the weighting coefficient of the weighted combining processing is determined based on the SNR associated with the at least one first channel measurement information. The SNR information associated with the second channel measurement information may include the SNR associated with the at least one first channel measurement information.

[0206] In this embodiment, the second channel measurement information is carried in the first information, so that the second device can determine the information associated with the second channel measurement information reported by the first device through the first information, and then can select the second channel measurement information as the model input information for AI positioning through the first information, which can improve the reporting effect of the channel measurement information; and can improve the accuracy of AI positioning.

Figure 8 To avoid duplication, the relevant descriptions of the embodiment shown will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0273] As a specific embodiment, the empirical CDF of AI positioning is as follows: Figure 12 As shown by Figure 12 It can be seen that

[0274] (1) When the beam pairs selected for the training and test sets match, the positioning accuracy is higher when the channel measurement information of multiple beam pairs is combined as the model input than when the channel measurement information of a single beam or a single reference signal resource is used as the model input.

[0275] (2) When the beam pairs selected for the training and test sets do not match, if the channel measurement information of only a single beam or a single reference signal resource is used as the model input, for example, the channel measurement information of the training set model input is the beam with the strongest power, while the test set uses the beam with the second highest power (i.e., the 2nd beam) or the third highest power (i.e., the 3rd beam), the positioning accuracy will be significantly reduced.

[0276] (3) When the beam pairs selected for the training set and the test set do not match, the channel measurement information obtained by merging the channel measurement information of multiple beam pairs is used as the model input. For example, the channel measurement information of the training set model input is the combination of the channel measurement information of the beam with the first power intensity (i.e., the 1st beam), the second and the third beam, while the channel measurement information of the test set model input is the combination of the channel measurement information of the beam with the second and the third power intensity.
