[0148] In some embodiments, the measurement results of the serving cell or neighboring cells used in the evaluation of measurement events and reporting are obtained after the Layer 1 (L1) measurement results of the UE are filtered by Layer 3 (L3). The L3 filtering can be as shown in the following formula: Fn = (1-a)*Fn-1 + a*Mn;

[0149] Wherein, Mn is the latest L1 measurement result; Fn is the filtered result; Fn-1 is the last filtered measurement result.

[0150] In some embodiments, a wireless communication network can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for prediction and inference to improve the performance of the system. The training of an AI model requires the collection of a large amount of data, and different application scenarios require different data. Application scenarios can include beam management, CSI reporting, CSI compression, positioning, handover, mobility management, and wireless resource management, etc. mobile communication system processes.

[0151] In some embodiments, a UE can predict cell measurement results, handover target cells, or mobility events during mobility. The UE can predict future cell measurement results, which can be referred to as time-domain prediction. Alternatively, the UE can predict the measurement results of unmeasured cells, which can be referred to as spatial-domain prediction. Mobility events include measurement reporting conditions being met, handover failures, cell dwell times, and radio link failures, etc.

[0152] In some embodiments, the UE can use part of the measurement values as input to predict the measurement results at unmeasured time instants using AI. As shown in FIG. IB, the UE can measure at time instants 1, 3 and 5, and use AI to predict the cell measurement results at time instants 2 and 4. This can reduce the number of measurements, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0153] The prediction result output by the AI can correspond to an index indicating how well the AI conforms to the true value of the prediction result, which can be referred to as confidence or accuracy or probability.

[0154] In some embodiments, when the UE performs a measurement, it is not clear whether the measurement result needs to be filtered by L3 if the previous measurement result is predicted. If filtering is performed, errors can be introduced due to inaccurate prediction. If no filtering is performed, errors with the actual measurement value cannot be avoided.

[0155] FIG. 2 is an interaction diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, and the method comprises:

[0156] In step S2101, the network device sends first information and / or second information to the terminal.

[0157] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal adopts the first sub-strategy or the second sub-strategy. For example, the first information can include a bit (e.g., a first bit), and when the value of the bit is 0, the first information can be used to indicate that the terminal adopts the first sub-strategy, and when the value of the bit is 1, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal adopts the second sub-strategy.

[0158] It can be understood that the first sub-strategy and the second sub-strategy can both be used by the terminal to determine the third measurement result, i.e., the terminal can determine the third measurement result in different ways or strategies.

[0159] In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate a first threshold value, and the first threshold value is used by the terminal to determine whether to adopt the first sub-strategy or the second sub-strategy. For example, the terminal can compare the confidence of the first measurement result with the first threshold value to determine whether to adopt the first sub-strategy to determine the third measurement result or to adopt the second sub-strategy to determine the third measurement result.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate whether the terminal needs to filter the first measurement result and the second measurement result. For example, the terminal can determine whether to filter the first measurement result and the second measurement result according to the first information in a case where it is determined that the second measurement result is not measured.

[0161] In some embodiments, the first information can also be referred to as "policy indication information", "filtering indication information", and the like, and the name thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0162] In some embodiments, the second information can also be referred to as "threshold indication information", "confidence threshold indication", and the like, and the name thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0163] In step S2102, the terminal determines that the first measurement result is obtained, and determines whether the second measurement result is measured.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first measurement result is the latest measurement result obtained by the terminal, and the second measurement result is a measurement result determined by the terminal before the first measurement result is obtained.

[0165] In some embodiments, the second measurement result is used for measurement reporting. Optionally, the second measurement result is used for evaluation of a measurement reporting event. For example, the second measurement result can be used to determine whether a cell corresponding to the second measurement result triggers a measurement reporting event.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first measurement result, the second measurement result, and the third measurement result described below can all be measurement results of a cell.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first measurement result satisfies at least one of the following: the cell measured by the first measurement result is the same as the cell measured by the second measurement result; the first measurement result is from a physical layer; the first measurement result is not filtered; and the first measurement result is obtained by the terminal by measuring a channel.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first measurement result can be a measurement result that is not filtered by Layer 3 (L3).

[0169] For example, the first measurement result can satisfy all the conditions described above. That is, the first measurement result can be a measurement result from a physical layer, not filtered and measured, and the first measurement result and the second measurement result are both measurement results of the same cell. Alternatively, the first measurement result can only satisfy part of the conditions described above, for example, the first measurement result and the second measurement result can be measurement results of different cells.

[0170] L3 filtering can be used to process measurement results of a terminal in a wireless communication system. Specifically, L3 filtering is a time smoothing filtering technique used to reduce random fluctuations in measurement results, thereby obtaining more stable and reliable measurement data.

[0171] In some embodiments, determining whether the second measurement result is measured can be determining whether the second measurement result is predicted by AI. For example, if it is determined that the second measurement result is obtained by measuring the channel, it can be determined that the second measurement result is measured, and if it is determined that the second measurement result is predicted by AI, it can be determined that the second measurement result is not measured.

[0172] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the second measurement result is measured, the first measurement result can be determined as the third measurement result (equivalent to determining the third measurement result according to the first sub-strategy), and when the measurement reporting is triggered, the third measurement result (equivalent to the first measurement result) is reported to the network device.

[0173] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the second measurement result is not measured, step S2103 is performed.

[0174] In step S2103, the terminal determines that the second measurement result is not measured, and determines the third measurement result according to the first strategy.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first strategy is a pre-configured strategy. Optionally, the first strategy can include only one of the first sub-strategy or the second sub-strategy. Wherein, when the first strategy only includes the first sub-strategy, the first strategy can be equivalent to the first sub-strategy, and when the first strategy only includes the second sub-strategy, the first strategy can be equivalent to the second sub-strategy.

[0176] For example, the terminal determining the third measurement result according to the first strategy can be that the terminal directly determines the first measurement result as the third measurement result (i.e. equivalent to the terminal determining the third measurement result according to the first sub-strategy). Alternatively, the terminal determining the third measurement result according to the first strategy can be that the terminal filters the first measurement result and the second measurement result to obtain the third measurement result (equivalent to the terminal determining the point measurement result according to the second sub-strategy).

[0177] It can be understood that when the first strategy is a pre-configured strategy, step S2101 can be omitted, i.e. the network device does not need to send the first information or the second information to the terminal, and when the terminal determines that the second measurement result is not measured, it can determine the third measurement result by using the pre-configured strategy.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first strategy can also include multiple sub-strategies, and the terminal can determine which strategy to use in different situations. For example, the terminal can determine which strategy to use among the multiple sub-strategies based on the indication of the network device, or based on its own conditions.

[0179] In some embodiments, the first strategy can include the first sub-strategy and the second sub-strategy.

[0180] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to adopt the first sub-strategy or the second sub-strategy according to the indication of the first information. Optionally, the terminal determines to adopt the first sub-strategy when the value of the first bit in the first information is 0, and the terminal determines to adopt the second sub-strategy when the value of the first bit in the first information is 1.

[0181] In some embodiments, the terminal obtains a confidence level of the second measurement result, and determines to adopt the first sub-strategy or the second sub-strategy according to the confidence level. Optionally, the confidence level can be a confidence level of an output of an AI model used for predicting the second measurement result. The confidence level can be used to indicate the degree of coincidence between the second measurement result and the actual measurement result.

[0182] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to adopt the first sub-strategy when the confidence level of the second measurement result is less than a first threshold, and the terminal determines to adopt the second sub-strategy when the confidence level of the second measurement result is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0183] In some embodiments, the first threshold can be indicated to the terminal by the network through the second information in step S2101, or can be pre-calibrated, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0184] In some embodiments, determining the third measurement result according to the first strategy includes at least one of the following: determining to adopt the first sub-strategy, and determining the first measurement result as the third measurement result; determining to adopt the second sub-strategy, and filtering the first measurement result and the second measurement result to obtain the third measurement result.

[0185] Optionally, filtering the first measurement result and the second measurement result can be L3 filtering of the first measurement result and the second measurement result.

[0186] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines according to the indication of the first information that the first measurement result and the second measurement result need to be filtered, the terminal can further determine whether the confidence level of the second measurement result is greater than or equal to the first threshold, and in the case that the confidence level is greater than the first threshold, the first measurement result and the second measurement result are further filtered, i.e., it is determined to adopt the second sub-strategy; in the case that the confidence level is less than the first threshold, the first measurement result is determined as the third measurement result, i.e., it is determined to adopt the first sub-strategy.

[0187] In an example, if the network device indicates the terminal to adopt the first sub-strategy through the first information, the terminal can directly determine the first measurement result as the third measurement result in a case that the terminal determines that the second measurement result is not measured. Alternatively, if the terminal determines that the second measurement result is not measured and the confidence of the second measurement result is greater than the first threshold, the terminal can filter the first measurement result and the second measurement result to obtain the third measurement result. Alternatively, if the first strategy only includes the second measurement result, the terminal can filter the first measurement result and the second measurement result to obtain the third measurement result in a case that the terminal determines that the second measurement result is not measured.

[0188] In some embodiments, the second measurement result and / or the third measurement result satisfies at least one of the following:

[0189] The second measurement result and / or the third measurement result is used for measurement reporting;

[0190] The second measurement result and / or the third measurement result is used for evaluation of a measurement reporting event;

[0191] The second measurement result is a filtered measurement result.

[0192] Optionally, the second measurement result can be an L3 filtered measurement result. Optionally, the second measurement result and the third measurement result can be used in the same way.

[0193] In step S2104, the terminal sends the third measurement result and / or the third information to the network device.

[0194] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to trigger measurement reporting, and sends the third measurement result and / or the third information to the network device.

[0195] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to trigger measurement reporting, and carries the third measurement result and / or the third information in the measurement reporting. Optionally, the third information is used to indicate whether the third measurement result is filtered. Optionally, the third information is used to indicate the strategy corresponding to the third measurement result.

[0196] For example, the third information can include one bit (such as the second bit), when the value of the bit is 0, the third information is used to indicate that the third measurement result is not filtered, or the strategy corresponding to the third measurement result is the first sub-strategy (i.e. the third measurement result is determined by the terminal adopting the first sub-strategy); when the value of the bit is 1, the third information can be used to indicate that the third measurement result is filtered, or the strategy corresponding to the third measurement result is the second sub-strategy (i.e. the third measurement result is determined by the terminal adopting the second sub-strategy).

[0197] In some embodiments, the terminal can only send the third measurement result to the network device, or only carry the third measurement result in the measurement reporting.

[0198] For example, if the network device sends the first information to the terminal to indicate that the terminal adopts the first sub-strategy or the second sub-strategy, the terminal can not need to send the third information to the network device, and the network device can determine whether the third measurement result is filtered based on the first information sent by the network device. For example, in step S2101, the network device indicates the terminal to adopt the first sub-strategy to determine the third measurement result through the first information, and after receiving the measurement result reported by the terminal, the network device can determine that the measurement result is an unfiltered measurement result.

[0199] In some embodiments, the names of information and the like are not limited to the names described in the embodiments, and the terms of "information", "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "indication", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "domain", "field", "symbol", "symbol", "codebook", "codeword", "code point", "bit", "data", "program", "chip", and the like can be replaced with each other.

[0202] In some embodiments, the terms of "send", "transmit", "report", "issue", "transmit", "bidirectional transmission", "send and / or receive", and the like can be replaced with each other.

[0203] In some embodiments, the terms “certain”, “preseted”, “pre-set”, “set”, “indicated”, “any”, “first”, and the like can be replaced with each other, and “certain A”, “preseted A”, “pre-set A”, “set A”, “indicated A”, “any A”, “first A” can be interpreted as A predetermined in a protocol or the like, or A obtained by setting, configuration, or indication, or a specific A, any A, or first A, but are not limited thereto.

[0204] In some embodiments, the determination or judgment can be made by a value represented by 1 bit (0 or 1), or by a true or false value (Boolean value) represented by true or false, or by comparison of numerical values (for example, comparison with a predetermined value), but is not limited thereto.

[0205] In some embodiments, “not expecting to receive” can be interpreted as not receiving in the time domain resource and / or the frequency domain resource, or as not performing subsequent processing on the data or the like after receiving the data or the like; “not expecting to send” can be interpreted as not sending, or as sending but not expecting the receiver to respond to the content of the sending.
