[0102] In some embodiments of wireless communication systems, seamless handover between cells is crucial for maintaining high-quality connectivity when users move between different coverage areas. Traditional methods for measuring RSRP (Receiving RSRP) for handover decisions often face significant challenges, including increased measurement overhead and potential delays in detecting the optimal handover opportunity. This is where AI mobility solutions come in, providing a transformative approach to RSRP estimation and handover management.
[0103] A key advantage of AI-driven mobility is its ability to reduce the measurement overhead associated with RSRP estimation. Traditional RSRP measurements involve frequent and resource-intensive signal strength checks, which consume valuable network resources and increase latency. In contrast, AI-driven mobility can minimize the need for continuous measurements by using predictive analytics. AI models can identify patterns and trends in signal behavior, enabling networks to make accurate switching decisions with fewer physical measurements. This not only conserves network resources but also improves overall system efficiency.
[0104] Improving RSRP estimation accuracy through AI mobility directly translates to better handover performance. By predicting signal strength fluctuations and more accurately identifying optimal handover points, AI mobility can significantly reduce the likelihood of connection interruptions and handover failures. This results in a more stable and reliable user experience, especially in high-mobility scenarios such as vehicular communication or congested urban environments.
[0105] Furthermore, AI-powered mobility can dynamically adapt to changing network conditions and user needs. For example, in areas with fluctuating traffic loads or changing environmental factors (such as urban canyons or rural terrain), AI models can adjust their predictions in real time to ensure optimal handover performance. This adaptability ensures that the network remains responsive and efficient under various operating conditions.
[0106] Artificial intelligence mobility represents a significant leap forward in RSRP estimation and handover management. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, it provides a more efficient, accurate, and adaptive approach to maintaining seamless connectivity. Reduced measurement overhead and enhanced handover performance not only improve user satisfaction but also contribute to increased overall efficiency and scalability of wireless networks. With the ever-growing demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity, artificial intelligence mobility is becoming a crucial solution for modern communication systems.
[0107] To evaluate the mobility performance of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to verify the accuracy of the L3-RSRP predicted by the AI model. This requires defining an accuracy definition and establishing a corresponding method for verifying the predicted RSRP.
[0108] Traditionally, L3-RSRP has been measured, rather than predicted.
[0109] The TE side knows the true value of L3-RSRP and has verified its accuracy in an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. For AWGN channels, the channel does not change over time, and the transmit power is constant. However, in AI-driven mobility, the channel model changes to a fading channel, which, unlike traditional AWGN channels, is a time-varying channel. This change in the channel model makes it impossible for the TE side to define the true value, and therefore, to determine the accuracy of L3-RSRP.
[0110] To improve the availability and reliability of AI-based mobility management and accurately assess the accuracy of L3-RSRP predictions by AI models, this disclosure provides the following communication method, terminal, first device, system, and storage medium.
[0111] Figure 2 This is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating a communication method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the embodiments of this disclosure relate to a communication method, which includes:
[0112] In step S2101, the first device 102 sends the first instruction information to the terminal 101.
[0113] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives first instruction information.
[0114] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may be a network device or a test device, and this disclosure does not limit it.
[0115] In some embodiments, the first indication information may be used to indicate a first moment.
[0116] In one example, the first moment may include one or more moments, and this disclosure does not limit the number of moments included in the first moment.
[0117] In one example, for a fading channel, because the channel changes over time, to compare L3-RSRP results, the first device 102 and the terminal 101 should be explicitly aligned for the specific time instance corresponding to the L3-RSRP reported by the terminal 101. Therefore, to ensure accurate synchronization, the first device 102 can align the timing of the L3-RSRP reporting results with that of the terminal 101. Exemplarily, the first device 102 can indicate one or more first moments using first indication information.
[0118] In one example, terminal 101 can determine, based on the first indication information, which moments' L3-RSRP estimates need to be obtained through the AI model.
[0119] In one example, the first indication information can be used to indicate absolute time, such as indicating the specific point in time of the first moment.
[0120] In one example, the first indication information can be used to indicate relative time, such as indicating the time offset of the first moment relative to the current moment.
[0121] In one example, the first indication information may indicate at least one of the following: System Frame Number (SFN), Slot Number, and Symbol Index.
[0122] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the content indicated by the first instruction information.
[0123] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may send a first indication message to the terminal 101 when it is necessary to evaluate the accuracy of the AI model in predicting L3-RSRP.
[0124] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may send first instruction information to the terminal 101 when performing AI-based mobility management.
[0125] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may send first instruction information to the terminal 101 based on a request from the terminal 101.
[0126] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may send first instruction information to the terminal 101 when it is determined that the terminal 101 is in a specific scenario, such as vehicle communication, Internet of Things communication, or a congested urban environment.
[0127] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may send a first indication message to the terminal 101 if it is desired to reduce the possibility of connection interruption and / or handover failure.
[0128] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the timing or conditions for triggering the first device 102 to send the first instruction information to the terminal 101.
[0129] In step S2102, terminal 101 obtains the estimated value.
[0130] In some embodiments, terminal 101 can estimate the L3-RSRP at the first moment by deploying an AI model, thereby obtaining an estimated value.
[0131] In one example, the first moment includes a moment, so terminal 101 can obtain the estimated value of L3-RSRP corresponding to that moment through the AI model, that is, obtain an estimated value.
[0132] In one example, the first moment includes multiple moments, so terminal 101 can obtain the L3-RSRP prediction value corresponding to each of the multiple moments through the AI model, that is, obtain multiple prediction values.
[0133] In one example, the AI model can be used to infer or predict the L3-RSRP of terminal 101 at at least one moment on the fading channel.
[0134] In one example, the input parameters of the AI model may include at least one of the following: the L3-RSRP measurement at the second time step; the type of terminal 101; and the channel quality parameters of the fading channel.
[0135] The second moment can include historical moments and / or the current moment.
[0136] Among them, the type of terminal 101 can be IoT device, passive IoT device, ordinary terminal, etc.
[0137] Among them, the channel quality parameters of the fading channel may include, but are not limited to, Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), Block Error Rate (BLER), etc.
[0138] In one example, the output of the AI model can be a prediction of the L3-RSRP at the first time step.
[0139] In step S2103, terminal 101 sends the estimated value to first device 102.
[0140] In some embodiments, the first device 102 receives an estimated value.
[0141] In one example, the first moment includes a moment when terminal 101 sends an estimated value to first device 102.
[0142] In one example, the first moment includes multiple moments, and terminal 101 sends multiple estimated values to first device 102.
[0143] In step S2104, terminal 101 sends first information to first device 102.
[0144] In some embodiments, the first device 102 receives first information.
[0145] In some embodiments, the first information may be used by the first device 102 to determine the truth value.
[0146] Here, the ground truth is the ground truth of L3-RSRP at the first time step.
[0147] The first moment includes a moment, so the terminal 101 can determine the truth value of L3-RSRP at that moment, that is, determine a truth value.
[0148] The first moment includes multiple moments, so the terminal 101 can determine the truth value of L3-RSRP at each moment, that is, determine multiple truth values.
[0149] The name of the truth value is not limited and can be interchanged with "true value", "actual value", etc.
[0150] In some embodiments, the first information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the layer 3 filtering method used by terminal 101; the number of layer 1 samples included in each layer 1 filtering window; the first beamforming gain value; and the second value.
[0151] In one example, the layer 3 filtering method used by terminal 101 may include, but is not limited to, non-sliding filtering and sliding filtering.
[0152] For example, non-sliding filtering methods include Figure 4A As shown, every 5 Layer 1 (L1) samples can generate one L3-RSRP filter value.
[0153] For example, sliding filtering methods include... Figure 4B As shown, each new L1 sample generates one L3-RSRP filter value.
[0154] For example, the difference between non-sliding filtering and sliding filtering is that for a non-sliding window of L1 / L3 filtering, an L3-RSRP is generated for every 5 L1 samples. For a sliding window of L1 / L3 filtering, an L3RSRP is generated for every 1 L1 sample.
[0155] It is understandable that if the first device 102 does not know the Layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101, the first device 102 cannot calculate the true value of L3-RSRP. Therefore, the first information may include the L3 filtering method used by the terminal 101.
[0156] The name of the layer 3 filtering method is not limited and can be interchanged with "layer 1 filtering method" or "layer 1 and layer 3 filtering method".
[0157] In one example, if the first device 102 is a TE, it can set the layer 3 filtering factor to 0. In this case, the first information sent by the terminal 101 to the first device 102 may not include the layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101.
[0158] In one example, if the first device 102 is a network device, it can also set the layer 3 filtering factor to 0. Similarly, the first information sent by the terminal 101 to the first device 102 may not include the layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101.
[0159] In one example, if the first device 102 does not consider the layer 3 filtering factor, the first information sent by the terminal 101 to the first device 102 may not include the layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101.
[0160] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit whether the first information includes the layer 3 filtering method used by terminal 101.
[0161] In one example, some more capable terminals 101 can use fewer samples to predict L3-RSRP. For example, the number of Layer 1 samples used can be less than 5, say 3, so that the filtered L1-RSRP can be sent to the higher layers faster.
[0162] Accordingly, if the first device 102 is to calculate the true value of L3-RSRP, it should also be calculated based on the average value of the three Layer 1 samples.
[0163] Therefore, terminal 101 can send first information to first device 102, which may include the number of layer 1 samples included in each layer 1 filtering window; otherwise, the true value calculated by first device 102 will be inaccurate.
[0164] In one example, when the first device 102 calculates the true value, the beamforming gain value at the terminal 101 also needs to be considered. Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal 101 can send first information to the first device 102, which may include a first beamforming gain value or a second value.
[0165] For example, the first beamforming gain value is the beamforming gain value corresponding to the received (Rx) beam determined by the terminal 101.
[0166] The first beamforming gain value can be used by the first device 102 to determine the second beamforming gain value of the terminal 101.
[0167] For example, the second value is the received power value of terminal 101, which corresponds to the first value, which is the transmitted power value of first device 102.
[0168] The second value can be determined by the first device 102 based on a predefined method and / or based on the implementation of the first device 102 itself. When the transmit power value of the first device 102 is the first value, the terminal 101 determines the receive power value at this time, i.e., the second value, and provides the second value to the first device 102.
[0169] The second value and the first value can be used by the first device 102 to calculate the second beamforming gain value of the terminal 101.
[0170] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the content of the first information.
[0171] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 determines that the true value is calculated by the first device 102, it sends first information to the first device 102.
[0172] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may send first information to first device 102 based on a request from first device 102.
[0173] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may send first information to first device 102 when the battery is low.
[0174] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may send first information to first device 102 in order to reduce the resource consumption of terminal 101.
[0175] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the timing or conditions under which the terminal 101 sends the first information to the first device 102.
[0176] In step S2105, terminal 101 sends the truth value to first device 102.
[0177] In some embodiments, the first device 102 receives the truth value.
[0178] In one example, the first moment includes a moment when terminal 101 sends a truth value to first device 102.
[0179] In one example, the first moment includes multiple moments, and terminal 101 sends multiple truth values to first device 102.
[0180] In some embodiments, terminal 101 measures the L3-RSRP value corresponding to the first moment, obtains the measured value, determines the measured value as the true value, and sends the true value to first device 102.
[0181] In one example, terminal 101 measures the L1-RSRP within a Layer 1 filter window corresponding to each time point included in the first time point, obtaining at least one Layer 1 sample included in the Layer 1 filter window. Based on the measured at least one Layer 1 sample included in the Layer 1 filter window, the L3-RSRP value corresponding to each Layer 1 sample is calculated, and the average value of the L3-RSRP values within the Layer 1 filter window is taken to obtain the measurement value at each time point.
[0182] In some embodiments, steps S2104 and S2105 may be performed selectively.
[0183] Step S2106: The first device 102 determines the true value.
[0184] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may calculate the truth value based on the first information.
[0185] In one example, the first device 102 can determine the layer 3 filtering factor and / or the specific layer 1 samples to be selected based on the layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101, thereby calculating the true value.
[0186] In one example, the first device 102 can determine the number of layer 1 samples to be selected based on the number of layer 1 samples included in each layer 1 filtering window, thereby calculating the true value.
[0187] In one example, the first device 102 may determine the second beamforming gain value of the terminal 101 based on either the first or the second beamforming gain value, thereby calculating the true value.
[0188] In one example, the L3-RSRP after L3 filtering will depend on the previous filtering result and the new L3-RSRP measurement. Assuming two L3-RSRP samples are used to derive the filtered L3-RSRP, as follows... Figure 4C As shown.
[0189] Different L3 filtering methods affect the true value of the L3-RSRP calculated by the first device 102. For example, suppose the L3-RSRP corresponds to time T (i.e., the first moment is time T). To derive the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T, for non-slipping filtering, 10 L1 samples are used to generate the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T. For sliding filtering, 6 L1 samples are used to generate the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T. Therefore, the true value of L3-RSRP at time T is different in the sliding and non-slipping cases.
[0190] To ensure that the first device 102 accurately calculates the true value of L3-RSRP, the first device 102 can determine which layer 1 samples are needed to calculate the true value of L3-RSRP based on the layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101. For example, when the terminal 101 uses a sliding filter, the first device 102 will select the last 6 samples and average them to obtain the true value of L3-RSRP. As another example, when the terminal 101 uses a non-sliding filter, the first device 102 will select the last 10 samples and average them to obtain the true value of L3-RSRP.
[0191] In one example, the first device 102 can calculate L3-RSRP using Formula 1:
[0192] F n = (1-a)×F n-1 +a×M n Formula 1
[0193] Where a is the layer 3 filter factor, F n It is the L3-RSRP (corresponding to a layer 1 sample) that needs to be calculated, F n-1 It is the L3-RSRP obtained from the previous calculation (corresponding to the previous layer 1 sample), M n It is the Layer 1 measurement value received by the first device 101, namely L1-RSRP.
[0194] The first device 102 calculates n L3-RSRPs based on Formula 1, and then averages these n L3-RSRPs to obtain the true value of the L3-RSRP at the first time step. Here, n is determined based on the number of Layer 1 samples included in each Layer 1 filtering window. For example, if each Layer 1 filtering window includes 5 Layer 1 samples, n is 6 in the sliding filter method and 10 in the non-sliding filter method. As another example, if each Layer 1 filtering window includes 3 Layer 1 samples, n is 4 in the sliding filter method and 6 in the non-sliding filter method.
[0195] In one example, the first device 102 can be set to a = 0, at which point the L3-RSRP is equal to the L1-RSRP sample value (or layer 1 measurement) at that time, and the true value of the L3-RSRP at the first moment is equal to the average of n L1-RSRP sample values. Here, n is determined based on the number of layer 1 samples included in each layer 1 filtering window.
[0196] In one example, the first device 102 can determine the second beamforming gain value of the terminal 101 based on the first information, and adjust the true value based on the second beamforming gain value to improve the accuracy of the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP.
[0197] For example, the first information includes a first beamforming gain value, which is the beamforming gain value corresponding to the Rx beam determined by the terminal. The first device 102 can directly determine the first beamforming gain value as the second beamforming gain value.
[0198] For example, the first information includes a first beamforming gain value. The first device 102 can determine a first offset range based on a predefined method, such as [Gmin, Gmax]. The first device 102 can increase or decrease G' based on the first beamforming gain value to obtain a second beamforming gain value, wherein the range of values for G' is the first offset range.
[0199] For example, the first information includes a second value, and the first device 102 can calculate a second beamforming gain value based on the second value and the first value. The second beamforming gain value can be equal to the ratio of the second value to the first value.
[0200] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the method by which the first device 102 determines the second beamforming gain value.
[0201] For example, the first device 102 may consider the second beamforming gain value to adjust the above true value, and the adjustment method is not limited in this disclosure.
[0202] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may receive the truth value sent by the terminal 101.
[0203] In one example, the first device 102 may receive one or more truth values. In step S2107, the first device 102 determines the accuracy of the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP.
[0204] In some embodiments, the first device 102 can determine the accuracy of the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP based on the estimated value and the true value.
[0205] In one example, this precision can be calculated based on Equation 2:
[0206] Accuracy = Estimated Value - True Value (Formula 2)
[0207] In calculating the accuracy, the difference between the predicted value and the true value of L3-RSRP at the same time can be calculated to obtain the accuracy at that time.
[0208] For example, if the first moment includes time T, then terminal 101 can calculate the difference between the estimated value and the true value of L3-RSRP at time T, thereby determining the accuracy corresponding to time T.
[0209] For example, if the first time step includes multiple time steps, then the final accuracy of the AI model predicting L3-RSRP can be the average, maximum, or minimum accuracy corresponding to the multiple time steps, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.
[0210] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may instruct the terminal 101 to retrain the AI model if the accuracy is determined to be low.
[0211] In some embodiments, when the first device 102 is a network device, the terminal 101 can be used for mobility management by selecting the predicted value of the AI model or the measurement value reported by the terminal 101 based on the determined accuracy.
[0212] For example, if the determined accuracy exceeds a threshold, the first device 102 determines that the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP is highly accurate, and can perform mobility management on the terminal 101 based on the AI model's prediction.
[0213] For example, if the determined accuracy does not exceed the threshold, the first device 102 determines that the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP is low and can perform mobility management on the terminal 101 based on the L3-RSRP measurement value reported by the terminal 101.

[0224] In some embodiments, terminal 101 can estimate the L3-RSRP at the first moment by deploying an AI model, thereby obtaining an estimated value.

[0241] Figure 3B This is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating a communication method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. For example... Figure 3B As shown, this disclosure relates to a communication method, which can be executed by a network device 102. The method includes:
[0242] Step S3201: Obtain the estimated value.
[0243] In some embodiments, the first device 102 obtains an estimated value from the terminal 101.
[0244] In some embodiments, terminal 101 can estimate the L3-RSRP at the first moment by deploying an AI model, thereby obtaining an estimated value.
[0245] In one example, the first moment includes a moment when the first device 102 receives an estimate from the terminal 101.
[0246] In one example, if the first moment includes multiple moments, then the first device 102 receives multiple estimates from the terminal 101.
[0247] In one example, the AI model can be used to infer or predict the L3-RSRP of terminal 101 at different times on the fading channel.
[0248] In one example, the input parameters of the AI model may include at least one of the following: the L3-RSRP measurement at the second time step; the type of terminal 101; and the channel quality parameters of the fading channel.

[0250] Among them, the type of terminal 101 can be IoT device, passive IoT device, ordinary terminal, etc.
[0251] Among them, the channel quality parameters of the fading channel may include, but are not limited to, Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), Block Error Rate (BLER), etc.
[0252] In one example, the output of the AI model can be a prediction of the L3-RSRP at the first time step.
[0253] In some embodiments, terminal 101 sends an estimated value to first device 102.
[0254] In some embodiments, the first device 102 receives an estimated value.
[0255] Step S3202: Determine the truth value.
[0256] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may calculate the truth value based on the first information.
[0257] In one example, the first device 102 can determine the layer 3 filtering factor and / or the specific layer 1 samples to be selected based on the layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101, thereby calculating the true value.
[0258] In one example, the first device 102 can determine the number of layer 1 samples to be selected based on the number of layer 1 samples included in each layer 1 filtering window, thereby calculating the true value.
[0259] In one example, the first device 102 may determine the second beamforming gain value of the terminal 101 based on either the first or the second beamforming gain value, thereby calculating the true value.
[0260] In one example, the L3-RSRP after L3 filtering will depend on the previous filtering result and the new L3-RSRP measurement. Assuming two L3-RSRP samples are used to derive the filtered L3-RSRP, as follows... Figure 4C As shown.
[0261] Different L3 filtering methods affect the true value of the L3-RSRP calculated by the first device 102. For example, suppose the L3-RSRP corresponds to time T (i.e., the first moment is time T). To derive the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T, for non-slipping filtering, 10 L1 samples are used to generate the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T. For sliding filtering, 6 L1 samples are used to generate the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T. Therefore, the true value of L3-RSRP at time T is different in the sliding and non-slipping cases.
[0262] To ensure that the first device 102 accurately calculates the true value of L3-RSRP, the first device 102 can determine which layer 1 samples are needed to calculate the true value of L3-RSRP based on the layer 3 filtering method used by the terminal 101. For example, when the terminal 101 uses a sliding filter, the first device 102 will select the last 6 samples and average them to obtain the true value of L3-RSRP. As another example, when the terminal 101 uses a non-sliding filter, the first device 102 will select the last 10 samples and average them to obtain the true value of L3-RSRP.
[0263] In one example, the first device 102 can calculate L3-RSRP using Formula 1:
[0264] F n = (1-a)×F n-1 +a×M n Formula 1
[0265] Where a is the layer 3 filter factor, F n It is the L3-RSRP (corresponding to a layer 1 sample) that needs to be calculated, F n-1 It is the L3-RSRP obtained from the previous calculation (corresponding to the previous layer 1 sample), M n It is the Layer 1 measurement value received by the first device 101, namely L1-RSRP.
[0266] The first device 102 calculates n L3-RSRPs based on Formula 1, and then averages these n L3-RSRPs to obtain the true value of the L3-RSRP at the first time step. Here, n is determined based on the number of Layer 1 samples included in each Layer 1 filtering window. For example, if each Layer 1 filtering window includes 5 Layer 1 samples, n is 6 in the sliding filter method and 10 in the non-sliding filter method. As another example, if each Layer 1 filtering window includes 3 Layer 1 samples, n is 4 in the sliding filter method and 6 in the non-sliding filter method.
[0267] In one example, the first device 102 can be set to a = 0, at which point the L3-RSRP is equal to the L1-RSRP sample value (or layer 1 measurement) at that time, and the true value of the L3-RSRP at the first moment is equal to the average of n L1-RSRP sample values. Here, n is determined based on the number of layer 1 samples included in each layer 1 filtering window.
[0268] In one example, the first device 102 can determine the second beamforming gain value of the terminal 101 based on the first information, and adjust the true value based on the second beamforming gain value to improve the accuracy of the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP.
[0269] For example, the first information includes a first beamforming gain value, which is the beamforming gain value corresponding to the Rx beam determined by the terminal. The first device 102 can directly determine the first beamforming gain value as the second beamforming gain value.
[0270] For example, the first information includes a first beamforming gain value. The first device 102 can determine a first offset range based on a predefined method, such as [Gmin, Gmax]. The first device 102 can increase or decrease G' based on the first beamforming gain value to obtain a second beamforming gain value, wherein the range of values for G' is the first offset range.
[0271] For example, the first information includes a second value, and the first device 102 can calculate a second beamforming gain value based on the second value and the first value. The second beamforming gain value can be equal to the ratio of the second value to the first value.
[0272] The above is merely an illustrative example, and this disclosure does not limit the method by which the first device 102 determines the second beamforming gain value.
[0273] For example, the first device 102 may consider the second beamforming gain value to adjust the above true value, and the adjustment method is not limited in this disclosure.
[0274] In some embodiments, the first device 102 may receive the truth value sent by the terminal 101.
[0275] In one example, the number of truth values received by the first device 102 can be one or more.
[0276] Step S3203: Determine the accuracy of the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP.
[0277] In some embodiments, the first device 102 can determine the accuracy of the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP based on the estimated value and the true value.
[0278] In one example, this precision can be calculated based on Equation 2:
[0279] Accuracy = Estimated Value - True Value (Formula 2)
[0280] In calculating the accuracy, the difference between the predicted value and the true value of L3-RSRP at the same time can be calculated to obtain the accuracy at that time.
[0281] For example, if the first moment includes time T, then terminal 101 can calculate the difference between the estimated value and the true value of L3-RSRP at time T, thereby determining the accuracy corresponding to time T.
[0282] For example, if the first time point includes multiple time points, the final accuracy of the AI model predicting L3-RSRP can be the average, maximum, or minimum accuracy corresponding to each of the multiple time points, and this disclosure does not limit this. In some embodiments, the first device 102 can instruct the terminal 101 to retrain the AI model if the determined accuracy is low.
[0283] In some embodiments, when the first device 102 is a network device, the terminal 101 can be used for mobility management by selecting the predicted value of the AI model or the measurement value reported by the terminal 101 based on the determined accuracy.
[0284] For example, if the determined accuracy exceeds a threshold, the first device 102 determines that the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP is highly accurate, and can perform mobility management on the terminal 101 based on the AI model's prediction.
[0285] For example, if the determined accuracy does not exceed the threshold, the first device 102 determines that the AI model's prediction of L3-RSRP is low and can perform mobility management on the terminal 101 based on the L3-RSRP measurement value reported by the terminal 101.
[0286] In some embodiments, steps S3201 to S3203 are optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or substituted in different embodiments.
[0287] In some embodiments, the execution order of steps S3201 to S3203 is not limited.
[0288] The above embodiments improve the integration of AI technology and communication mechanisms, enhance the availability and reliability of AI-based mobility management, and help improve the efficiency, performance, and scalability of wireless networks.
[0289] The above process is further illustrated with examples below.
[0290] For AI-driven mobility, the performance metrics for L3-RSRP accuracy are:
[0291] • Absolute L3 prediction RSRP accuracy = Reported prediction L3 - RSR - L3 - RSRP true value
[0292] For the ground truth value of L3-RSRP, there are two possible definitions:
[0293] Option 1: The truth value of L3-RSRP is calculated by TE.
[0294] - Option 2: Terminal reports the truth value of L3-RSRP
[0295] For option 1, the method is similar to the traditional method. However, there is a key difference in the channel model used for L3-RSRP accuracy testing. In traditional testing, an AWGN channel is used, which means there are no channel fluctuations in the time domain. Therefore, TE can always determine the true value of L3-RSRP.
[0296] In contrast, the AI mobility testing metric introduces a fading channel. This channel introduces time-domain fluctuations, making the calculation of the ideal L3-RSRP more challenging. If TE wants to know and be able to calculate the ideal L3-RSRP, it needs to solve several problems:
[0297] - Question 1: L3-RSRP time instance alignment;
[0298] - Question 2: UE L1 / L3 filtering method;
[0299] - Question 3: Number of samples filtered by terminal L1;
[0300] - Question 4: Rx beamforming gain of FR2.
[0301] Regarding question 1:
[0302] For fading channels, because the channel changes over time, to compare L3-RSRP results, taking the TE as the first device as an example, the TE and the UE must explicitly align the specific time instance corresponding to the reported L3-RSRP. The TE can identify the truth value of L3-RSRP in the time domain. Then, the TE should indicate the detailed time instance of the L3-RSRP result.
[0303] Example 1: Time alignment of L3-RSRP reporting results between TE and UE
[0304] To ensure accurate synchronization, the TE needs to align the timing of the L3-RSRP report results with the UE. The TE should specify the specific time when the UE should report the L3-RSRP value. One possible method is as follows: the TE instructs the UE to report the L3-RSRP value corresponding to a specific SFN (System Frame Number), slot number, and symbol index.
[0305] Regarding question 2:
[0306] L1 / L3 non-sliding filtering methods, for example Figure 4A As shown, the sliding filter method is, for example... Figure 4B As shown.
[0307] The key difference between non-sliding filtering and sliding filtering is:
[0308] - For L1 / L3 filtering non-sliding windows, an L3 RSRP will be generated for every 5 L1 samples.
[0309] - For an L1 / L3 filtering sliding window, each L1 sample will generate an L3 RSRP.
[0310] If the TE does not know the L1 / L3 filtering method, it will not know how to calculate the ideal L3-RSRP. Therefore, the UE needs to send an L1 / L3 filtering method instruction to the TE.
[0311] The L3 filter formula is shown in Formula 1.
[0312] F n = (1-a)×F n-1 +a×M n Formula 1
[0313] Among them, F n It is used to evaluate report conditions or to update and filter measurement results for measurement reports. n-1 This represents the previous filtered measurement results, with the initial value F0 set to the first measurement result M1 received from the physical layer. Mn is the latest measurement result received from the physical layer. a is the layer 3 filter coefficient.
[0314] The L3-RSRP after L3 filtering will depend on the previous filtering result and the new L3-RSRP measurement. For simplicity, let's assume that two L3-RSRP samples are used to derive the filtered L3-RSRP, such as... Figure 4C As shown.
[0315] Different L1 / L3 filtering methods affect the ideal L3-RSRP calculation. For example, suppose the L3-RSRP corresponds to time instance T. To derive the ideal L3-RSRP at time T, for non-sliding filtering, 10 L1 samples are used to generate the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T. However, for sliding filtering, only 6 L1 samples are used to generate the L3-RSRP at time T. Therefore, the true value of the L3-RSRP at time T is different in the sliding and non-sliding cases.
[0316] In order for the TE side to calculate the true value of L3-RSRP, the L1 / L3 filtering method needs to be indicated to the TE.
[0317] Example 2: If the L3 filtering factor α is to be considered, a signal needs to be designed for this function. The UE needs to report the L1 / L3 filtering method, such as sliding or non-sliding, to the TE.
[0318] Based on the L3-RSRP instance time and the UE's L1 / L3 filtering method, the TE can determine which samples are needed to calculate the L3-RSRP. For example, when using a sliding method, the TE will select the last 6 samples and average them to obtain the result.
[0319] Example 3: When defining a test method to verify the prediction performance of L3-RSRP, the L3 filter factor is set to 0, and the UE does not need to report the L1 / L3 filtering method to the TE.
[0320] Another option is to disregard the L3 filter factor a in L3-RSRP.
[0321] Regardless of the method used, L3-RSRP is equal to the average of M instantaneous L1-RSRP samples.
[0322] Regarding question 3:
[0323] In the current measurement cycle requirements, five samples are defined for L1 filtering. In reality, some advanced UEs can achieve RSRP accuracy with fewer samples, i.e., three samples, and can send the filtered L1-RSRP to higher layers much faster. If this is the case, the ideal L3-RSRP would be calculated based on the average of three samples instead of five. In the current AI mobility studies in RAN2, if they consider L3-RSRP to predict L3-RSRP, they have no limit on the number of samples for L1 filtering; it depends on the UE implementation.
[0324] If L3-RSRP can be calculated on the TE side, it means the TE needs to know how many L1 samples will be used to generate the ideal L3-RSRP. This will impose significant limitations on the UE implementation. It means the UE must average based on 5 samples; otherwise, a mismatch will occur.
[0325] Example 4: The UE needs to report the number of L1 filtered samples to the TE via signaling. For example, the TE can send a command to the UE to report the number of L1 filtered samples. The UE can then provide feedback.
[0326] Example 5: For FR2, since the TE does not know the UE's Rx beamforming gain, there are three options for the TE to derive the Rx beamforming gain:
[0327] 1. Set the predefined range of Rx beamforming gain from Gmin to Gmax.
[0328] 2. The UE reports the RX beamforming gain to the TE.
[0329] 3. The TE sends Tx power with a predefined value to the UE, the UE reports the received power to the TE, and the TE derives the Rx beamforming gain.
[0330] After obtaining all the necessary information, TE can calculate the true value of L3-RSRP corresponding to time T.
[0331] Example 6: Under high signal-to-noise ratio conditions, the UE measures the L1-RRP of multiple reference signals at different times and combines these measurement results to calculate the ideal L3-RSRP. Then, it reports the L3-RSRP value as the true value.
[0332] This disclosure also proposes an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is proposed that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by each node (e.g., a terminal, a network device) in any of the above methods.

For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
