A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not only hardware devices, but also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are fully functional, large in size, and can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0051] It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, a device having a communication function in a network / system may be referred to as a communication device.

The network device 110 and the terminal device 120 may be the specific devices described above and will not be described in detail here. The communication device may also include other devices in the communication system 100, such as a network controller, a mobility management entity, and other network entities, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein. The term "and / or" is simply a description of an association between related objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0053] It should be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association. For example, "A indicates B" can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; it can also mean that there is an association between A and B.

[0054] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "corresponding" may indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between the two, or an association relationship between the two, or a relationship between indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, "pre-defined" may be implemented by pre-storing corresponding codes, tables, or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in a device (e.g., a terminal device or a network device). The present application does not limit the specific implementation method. For example, pre-defined may refer to information defined in a protocol.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the "protocol" may refer to a standard protocol in the communication field, for example, it may include an LTE protocol, an NR protocol, and related protocols used in future communication systems, and this application does not limit this.

[0057] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the neural network related to the present application is described.

[0058] A neural network is a computational model consisting of multiple interconnected neuron nodes, where the connections between nodes represent weighted values ​​from input signals to output signals, called weights. Each node performs a weighted summation (SUM) on different input signals and outputs them through a specific activation function (f). Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a neuron structure, where a1, a2, …, an represent input signals, w1, w2, …, wn represent weights, f represents the activation function, and t represents the output.

[0059] A simple neural network, shown in Figure 3, consists of an input layer, hidden layers, and an output layer. By using different connections, weights, and activation functions among multiple neurons, different outputs can be generated, thereby fitting the mapping relationship from input to output. Each node in the previous level is connected to all nodes in the next level. This neural network is a fully connected neural network, also known as a deep neural network (DNN).

[0060] Deep learning utilizes deep neural networks with multiple hidden layers, significantly improving the network's ability to learn features and fitting complex, nonlinear mappings from input to output. Consequently, it has found widespread application in speech and image processing. In addition to deep neural networks, deep learning also includes other commonly used basic structures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for different tasks.

[0061] The basic structure of a convolutional neural network includes an input layer, multiple convolutional layers, multiple pooling layers, a fully connected layer, and an output layer, as shown in Figure 4. Each neuron in the convolution kernel of the convolutional layer is locally connected to its input, and the introduction of the pooling layer extracts the local maximum or average features of a certain layer, effectively reducing the network parameters and mining local features, enabling the convolutional neural network to converge quickly and achieve excellent performance.

[0062] RNNs are neural networks that model sequential data and have achieved remarkable success in natural language processing applications such as machine translation and speech recognition. Specifically, the network memorizes information from past moments and uses it in the calculation of current outputs. This means that nodes in the hidden layers are no longer disconnected but connected, and the input to a hidden layer includes not only the input layer but also the output of the previous hidden layer. Common RNN structures include long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). Figure 5 shows a basic LSTM cell structure, which can include a tanh activation function. Unlike RNNs, which only consider the most recent state, the LSTM cell state determines which states should be retained and which should be forgotten, addressing the shortcomings of traditional RNNs in long-term memory.

[0063] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the positioning method related to the present application is described.

[0064] In related technologies, positioning methods can be divided into the following categories:

[0065] UE-based positioning method: The terminal directly calculates the position of the target UE.

[0066] UE-assisted or LMF-based positioning method: The terminal reports the measurement results to the LMF, and the LMF calculates the location of the target UE based on the collected measurement results.

[0067] Network node assisted (e.g. NG-RAN node assisted) positioning method: The base station reports the measurement results of the Transmission / Reception Point (TRP) to the LMF, and the LMF calculates the position of the target UE based on the collected measurement results.

[0068] In traditional positioning methods, for different methods, the UE or LMF uses traditional algorithms, such as the Chan algorithm, Taylor expansion, etc., to estimate the position of the target UE.

[0069] In order to support various positioning methods, a positioning reference signal (PRS) is introduced in the downlink, and a sounding reference signal (SRS) for positioning is introduced in the uplink.

[0070] NR-based positioning functions mainly involve three parts: the terminal (UE), multiple Transmitter Relay Protocols (TRPs), and a location server (Location Server). Multiple TRPs around the terminal participate in cellular positioning. A base station may be a TRP, or a base station may have multiple TRPs. The location server is responsible for the positioning process. The location server may include the Local Mobile Module (LMF).

[0071] Downlink-based positioning methods can be further divided into two categories:

[0072] 1. Terminal-assisted positioning method (UE-assisted)

[0073] The UE is responsible for positioning-related measurements, and the network calculates location information based on the measurement results reported by the UE.

[0074] 2. UE-based positioning method

[0075] The UE performs positioning-related measurements and calculates location information based on the measurement results.

[0076] Below, a downlink-based positioning method (such as a terminal-assisted positioning method, UE-assisted) is taken as an example to illustrate the basic positioning process, as shown in FIG6 .

[0077] Step 1: The positioning server notifies the TRP of relevant configurations.

[0078] The TRP-related configuration may include PRS configuration information and / or the type of measurement results that the terminal needs to report, etc.

[0079] Step 2: TRP sends PRS.

[0080] Step 3: The terminal receives the PRS and performs measurements.

[0081] Among them, according to different positioning methods, the measurement results required by the terminal may also be different.

[0082] Step 4: The terminal may feed back the measurement results to the positioning server.

[0083] For example, the terminal feeds back the measurement result to the positioning server through the base station.

[0084] Step 5: The positioning server calculates the location-related information.

[0085] Figure 6 illustrates the execution flow of a UE-assisted positioning method. For terminal-based positioning (UE-based), in step 4 above, the terminal directly calculates location-related information based on measurement results, without reporting the results to the positioning server, which then performs the calculation. With UE-based positioning, the terminal needs to know the location information corresponding to the TRP, so the network needs to notify the UE of this location information in advance.

[0086] Below, a positioning method based on an uplink is used as an example to illustrate the basic process, as shown in FIG7 , which may include the following steps:

[0087] Step 1: The positioning server notifies the TRP of relevant configurations.

[0088] Step 2: The base station sends relevant signaling to the terminal.

[0089] Step 3: The terminal sends an uplink signal according to relevant training, such as SRS for positioning.

[0090] Step 4: TRP measures the SPS used for positioning and sends the measurement results to the positioning server.

[0091] Step 5: The positioning server calculates the location-related information.

[0092] The model can be combined with any positioning method, replacing traditional algorithms to estimate the terminal device's location, thereby improving accuracy. The model can be deployed on the UE side, the LMF side, or both the UE and the LMF. The combination of the model and positioning method can be categorized into model-based direct positioning methods and model-based assisted positioning methods. As shown in Figure 8, the model-based direct positioning method directly determines the terminal device's location based on the input information. The model-based assisted positioning method uses the input information to determine an intermediate result, and then further determines the terminal device's location based on the positioning algorithm.

[0093] In the model-based positioning method, consider introducing AI / ML function identification and AI / ML model identification.

[0094] For AI / ML function identification: The network and UE sides use the same process or method to identify AI / ML functions. For the UE-side model, AI / ML function identification is reported to the network device through UE capabilities. The network device activates / deactivates / falls back / switches the AI / ML function through Radio Resource Control (RRC), Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), and Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling.

[0095] For AI / ML model identification: The network side and the UE side use the same process or method to identify the AI / ML model.

[0096] However, how to define AI / ML functions, AI / ML models, and the relationship between them is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

[0157] In some embodiments, the model functions used for positioning may be defined at the granularity of model complexity information. For example, different model complexity information corresponds to different model functions.

[0158] In some embodiments, model complexity information includes, but is not limited to, the number of model parameters and / or the complexity of the model structure, such as the number of layers of the model.

[0159] In some specific embodiments, the model complexity information is used to indicate a target parameter number range and / or a target layer number range, where the target parameter number range is the range of the number of parameters included in the model, and the target layer number range is the range of the number of model layers.

[0160] In some embodiments, the target parameter quantity range is one of a plurality of parameter quantity ranges, wherein the plurality of parameter quantity ranges correspond to different quantity intervals.

[0184] In some embodiments, each model function corresponds to P models, where P is a positive integer, that is, one model function may correspond to one or more models.

[0185] Optionally, the model function and the granularity of the model are the same; or, the granularity of the model function is greater than the granularity of the model, for example, multiple models can implement the same model function.

[0186] In some embodiments, each of the P models corresponds to a different set of parameters and / or has different parameter contents.

[0221] Example 4: The second parameter set corresponding to model 0 includes the synchronization error information of the network device, and the content of the synchronization error information of the network device is the first synchronization error. The second parameter set corresponding to model 1 includes the timing error information of the terminal device, and the content of the synchronization error information of the network device is the third timing error.

[0222] In some embodiments, the first information may explicitly correspond to a model function. For example, the first information includes first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate the model function corresponding to the first information. As an example, the first indication information may indicate the index of the model function corresponding to the first information.

[0223] In some embodiments, the first information implicitly corresponds to a model function. In this case, the first information may not include the first indication information.

[0224] In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate a target model function configured by the network device for the terminal device. For example, the second indication information may be used to indicate an index of the target model function. In this case, the first configuration information may be considered to include configuration information related to the model function.

[0225] In some embodiments, the first configuration information can be determined based on the at least one first information, wherein each first information corresponds to a model function, and the network device can determine the target model function based on the model function corresponding to the at least one first information, and further indicate the target model function to the terminal device through the second indication information.

[0226] Optionally, when the first information includes first indication information, the first configuration information includes the second indication information.

[0227] That is, the network device can determine the model function corresponding to each first information based on the first indication information in at least one first information, and can further indicate the target model function to the terminal device through the second indication information.

[0228] Further optionally, the terminal device can select one of the P models corresponding to the target model function as the target model, for example, randomly select one of the P models as the target model, or determine the target model based on the performance of the P models.

[0229] By way of example and not limitation, the performance of the P models includes at least one of the following performances:

[0230] Model complexity, model computational complexity, and model positioning accuracy.

[0231] In some embodiments, the positioning accuracy of the model may be the error between the location-related information of the terminal device determined based on the model output and the actual location-related information of the terminal device, or the distribution of the location-related information of the terminal device.

[0232] In some specific embodiments, the positioning accuracy may be the error between the predicted location information and the actual location information of the terminal device, or the distribution of the predicted location information of the terminal device.

[0233] Optionally, the output information of the model is the location information of the terminal device, and the predicted location information of the terminal device may be the output information of the model, corresponding to the direct positioning mode.

[0234] Optionally, the output information of the model is intermediate information of the terminal device's location information, and the predicted location information of the terminal device can be further calculated based on the output information of the model, which corresponds to an assisted positioning mode.

[0235] In other specific embodiments, the positioning accuracy may also be the error between the intermediate information of the predicted terminal device location information and the intermediate information of the actual terminal device location information, or the distribution of the intermediate information of the predicted terminal device location information, or the distribution of the error between the intermediate information of the predicted terminal device location information and the actual intermediate information.

[0236] For example, the model's output information may be intermediate information about the terminal device's location, such as the distance between the terminal device and a network device. In this case, the positioning accuracy may be the error between the model-predicted distance between the terminal device and the network device and the actual distance between the terminal device and the network device.

[0237] In some embodiments, the terminal device may select a model among the P models that satisfies at least one of the following conditions as the target model:

[0238] The positioning accuracy among the P models is the highest or the positioning accuracy reaches a first positioning accuracy threshold;

[0239] The model complexity is the lowest among P models, or the model complexity meets the preset conditions;

[0240] The computational complexity of the model is the lowest among the P models, or the computational complexity of the model meets the preset conditions.

[0241] In some embodiments, the model complexity meeting a preset condition may include: the dimension of the model input parameter is lower than a first dimension threshold, and / or the number of layers of the model structure is lower than a first layer number threshold.

[0242] In some embodiments, the computational complexity of the model meeting a preset condition may include: the computational complexity of the model being less than a first computational complexity threshold.

[0243] Optionally, the first positioning accuracy may be measured in meters, centimeters, or millimeters, which is not limited in this application.

[0244] In some embodiments, the first positioning accuracy threshold may be predefined, preconfigured, determined by the terminal device itself, or configured by a network device.

[0245] In some embodiments, the first dimension threshold may be predefined, preconfigured, determined by the terminal device itself, or configured by a network device.

[0246] In some embodiments, the first layer number threshold may be predefined, preconfigured, determined by the terminal device itself, or configured by the network device.

[0247] In some embodiments, the first computational complexity threshold may be predefined, preconfigured, determined by the terminal device itself, or configured by a network device.

[0248] In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes:

[0249] The third indication information is used to instruct the network device to configure a target model for the terminal device;

[0250] The fourth indication information is used to indicate parameter information corresponding to the target model.

[0251] In some embodiments, the parameter information corresponding to the target model is determined based on the first information, or in other words, matched with the first information.

[0252] In some embodiments, the third indication information may be used to indicate an index of the target model, and the fourth indication information may be used to indicate a second parameter set corresponding to the target model.

[0253] For example, if the first information does not include the first indication information, the network device may indicate the target model and parameter information corresponding to the target model to the terminal device. In this case, it can be considered that the first configuration information includes model-related configuration information.

[0254] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may also only include the third indication information but not the fourth indication information.

[0255] For example, the first information may include P fifth indication information and P sixth indication information, wherein the P fifth indication information and the P sixth indication information correspond one to one. Each fifth indication information is used to indicate one of the P models corresponding to the model function corresponding to the first information, for example, the fifth indication information indicates the index of the model, and the sixth indication information is used to indicate the second parameter set corresponding to the model indicated by the fifth indication information. In this case, the first configuration information may also include only the third indication information, excluding the fourth indication information. The third indication information may indicate the index of the target model selected by the network device for the terminal device among the P models.

[0256] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may also include second indication information and third indication information. That is, the network device may simultaneously configure the target model function and the target model for the terminal device. The target model is included in the model corresponding to the target model function.

[0257] For example, when the first information includes indication information of the model function (for example, the first indication information), the first parameter set corresponding to the model function, indication information of the model (for example, the P fifth indication information), and the second parameter set corresponding to the model (for example, the P sixth indication information), the first configuration information may include indication information of the target model function and indication information of the target model.

[0258] In some embodiments, each piece of the at least one first information is carried in an independent structure.

[0259] As an example, the structure for carrying the first information is designed as follows:

[0260] The model function corresponding to the first first information corresponds to X models, and the model function corresponding to the second first information corresponds to Y models. Optionally, the first information may further include a second parameter set corresponding to each model.

[0261] In some embodiments, the terminal device may also report the maximum number t of model functions that can be stored to the network device.

[0262] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may be carried by a first signaling, which may be, for example, RRC signaling, MAC CE or DCI signaling.

[0263] In some embodiments, the index of the model function configured by the network device can be indicated by n bits in the first signaling. n For example, the index of the model function configured by the network device is indicated by different values ​​of n bits.

[0264] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, by explicitly indicating the configuration of model functions, the implementation on the network device side is simplified, and the model selection on the terminal device side is made more flexible. At the same time, since models occupy the storage space of the terminal device, setting the maximum number of stored model functions can reduce the complexity of the terminal implementation.

[0265] Below, in combination with Figures 10 and 11, a schematic interactive diagram of the configuration method of the model function provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

[0271] Optionally, after selecting the target model, the method further includes: S304, the terminal device sends indication information to the network device, where the indication information is used to indicate the target model selected by the terminal device, for example, the indication information is used to indicate the index of the target model. Optionally, if the network device does not know the second parameter set corresponding to the target model, the terminal device may further indicate the second parameter set corresponding to the target model to the network device.

[0272] Optionally, the terminal device may also send first request information to the network device, where the first request information is used to request model monitoring.

Optionally, the reference signal configuration information includes time domain configuration information and / or frequency configuration information of the reference signal.

[0274] S305: The terminal device performs model monitoring on the target model.

[0275] For example, the terminal device performs model monitoring based on the configuration information for model monitoring sent by the network device.

[0276] S306: The terminal device feeds back the model monitoring result to the network device. For example, a second request message is sent to the network device to request a switch of the model function. Optionally, the terminal device may request a switch of the model function if the model monitoring result does not meet the requirements.

[0277] S307, the network device configures configuration information for model switching to the terminal device. For example, the network device may indicate a second model function to the terminal device, wherein the first parameter sets corresponding to the first model function and the second model function are different and / or the parameter contents are different.

[0278] In the example of FIG11 , the model is deployed on the terminal device side, and the network device performs model performance monitoring.

[0283] Optionally, after selecting the target model, the method further includes: S304, the terminal device sends indication information to the network device, where the indication information is used to indicate the target model selected by the terminal device, for example, the indication information is used to indicate the index of the target model. Optionally, if the network device does not know the second parameter set corresponding to the target model, the terminal device may further indicate the second parameter set corresponding to the target model to the network device.

[0284] S315, the network device performs model monitoring on the target model.

[0285] S316: The network device configures the terminal device with configuration information for model switching.

[0286] For example, when the monitoring result of the model does not meet the standard, the network device can indicate the second model function to the terminal device, wherein the first parameter sets corresponding to the first model function and the second model function are different and / or the parameter contents are different.

[0287] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, the granularity of the model function is defined. For example, the parameter set included in the first information can realize model functions of different granularities, and the relationship between the model function and the model is defined. For example, a model function can correspond to one or more models, and the parameter sets and / or parameter contents corresponding to different models are different. Among them, the granularity of the model function and the model is the same, or the granularity of the model function is greater than the granularity of the model. For example, multiple models can realize the same model function.

[0288] A structure is further designed to report model function-related information to the network device. For example, information related to multiple model functions (such as the first information, information about the model corresponding to the model function) can be reported through one structure, or each model function-related information can be reported through an independent structure.
