AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In wireless communication systems, the overhead of radio resource management (RRM) measurements in existing technologies is relatively large, especially in high-frequency bands such as FR2, which leads to reduced communication efficiency.

Method used

Artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) models are used for spatial beam prediction to reduce the Tx/Rx beam scan set. L3 measurement latency and overhead are reduced by periodically skipping actual measurements and using model predictions, thereby optimizing RRM performance.

Benefits of technology

By reducing the number of beam scans in the wireless communication system, communication throughput is improved, and RRM and overall system performance are enhanced.

Abstract

A user equipment (UE) uses an artificial intelligence (AI) model to generate predicted receive signal strengths for Tx-Rx beam pairs between base station transmit (Tx) beams and UE receive (Rx) beams; identifies, from the Tx-Rx beam pairs, a predicted best Tx-Rx beam pair having a highest predicted receive signal strength; indicates, to the base station, a predicted best Tx beam of the predicted best Tx-Rx beam pair; performs reference signal measurements using a corresponding paired predicted best Rx beam of the predicted best Tx-Rx beam pair by the predicted best Tx beam transmitted by the base station to generate a measured receive signal strength for the predicted best Tx-Rx beam pair; and calculates a model validity metric for the AI model based on a comparison of the highest predicted receive signal strength and the measured receive signal strength. Other implementations of the AI model alternatively located at the base station are also discussed.
