The CU-DU structure can separate the protocol layer of the access network device. Some of the protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while the remaining part or all of the protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU and centrally controlled by the CU. However, this is not the only possibility.

[0098] It is understood that the communication system described in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of this application. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

Furthermore, multiple systems can be combined (e.g., a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G / 6G).

[0101] With the continuous development of wireless communication technology, high-frequency bands have been introduced to provide higher spectral efficiency. In NR, especially when the communication frequency band is in frequency range 2 (FR2), due to the rapid attenuation of high-frequency channels, beam-based transmission and reception are required to ensure coverage.

[0102] In some embodiments, during conventional beam management, the base station configures a set of reference signal resources for beam measurement. The terminal measures the reference signal resources in this set and then reports the IDs of the X strongest reference signal resources, along with their corresponding Layer 1 Reference Signal Receiving Power (L1-RSRP) and / or Layer 1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (L1-SINR). The problem with this conventional method is that the base station's configured set of reference signal resources contains M reference signals, each corresponding to a different transmitted beam. Therefore, for each reference signal, the terminal needs to use all received beams to measure it, obtain the beam measurement quality for each received beam, and determine the best beam measurement quality. Thus, the number of beam pairs the terminal needs to measure is M*N, where M is the number of transmitted beams from the base station and N is the number of received beams from the terminal.

[0103] In some embodiments, with the continuous development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, its application in the field of wireless communication can be considered. AI-based beam management is a method in the field of communication technology that utilizes artificial intelligence to effectively manage and optimize beams.

[0104] In some embodiments, beam prediction based on an AI model may include both spatial prediction and temporal prediction.

[0105] In some embodiments, for spatial prediction, the terminal measures the L1-RSRP of a reference signal resource set set B (which may also include beam or beam pair IDs), inputs it into an AI model, and predicts the L1-RSRP of set A. The relationship between set B and set A can include the following two types:

[0106] 1. If set B is a subset of set A, for example, if set A contains 32 reference signals (each reference signal corresponds to a beam direction), then set B contains N reference signals, for example, N=8.

[0107] It is understandable that the above-mentioned reference signal resource set only considers the transmission beam.

[0108] Optionally, if beam pairs are to be considered, the receiving beams of the terminal also need to be considered. For example, if there are 32 transmitting beams and the terminal has 4 receiving beams, then set A is 32*4 beam pairs; set B can be 32 beam pairs, or 16 beam pairs, etc.

[0109] 2. Set B is a wide beam, and set A is a narrow beam. For example, set A contains 32 reference signals (each reference signal corresponds to a beam direction, and the 32 reference signals cover a 120-degree direction). Set B contains another N reference signals, for example, N=8, and these N reference signals also cover a 120-degree direction. That is, the beam direction of each reference signal in set B covers the beam directions of multiple reference signals in set A. This can be understood as a quasi-co-location (QCL) Type D relationship between the 32 / N reference signals in set A and the same reference signal in set B.

[0110] Similar to the previous embodiments, the above-mentioned reference signal resource set only considers the transmission beam.

[0111] In some embodiments, if it is not necessary to monitor the performance of the AI ​​model, assuming that the AI ​​model has been trained in advance, the base station only needs to periodically send the reference signal of set B (e.g., based on the first cycle). Then the terminal measures the L1-RSRP of the reference signal in set B and inputs it into the AI ​​model, so that it can output the L1-RSRP of all beams or beam pairs in set A or output the X strongest reference signal IDs or beam pair IDs among the 32 reference signals in set A.

[0112] In some embodiments, if monitoring the performance of the AI ​​model is required, in addition to sending set B, the base station is also required to periodically send reference signals for set A (e.g., based on a second period, which is longer than the first period; whether the second period is a multiple of the first period, and by how much longer), without any restrictions. The terminal measures the results of set B and inputs them into the AI ​​model to obtain the predicted beam information, which is then reported to the base station. Simultaneously, it measures the L1-RSRP of all reference signals in set A and obtains the beam information as the beam information obtained using conventional methods, which is then reported to the base station. Of course, if set B is a subset of set A, it is equivalent to the terminal only needing to measure all beams or beam pairs in set A.

[0113] In some embodiments, for time-domain prediction, the terminal measures the L1-RSRP of historical time set B, inputs it into the AI ​​model, and predicts the L1-RSRP of future time set A. Besides the two relationships mentioned above, another possibility is that set B and set A are the same.

[0114] Optionally, if based on an AI model, the reference signal for future moments may not need to be transmitted; instead, beam information is obtained from the output of the AI ​​model and reported to the base station.

[0115] Optionally, based on traditional methods, reference signals for future timeframes also need to be transmitted. The terminal measures the reference signals for future timeframes and obtains beam information, which is then reported to the base station. Therefore, during model performance monitoring, similar to spatial beam prediction, the base station needs to periodically transmit the transmit beams in set B and set A, and the terminal needs to measure all beams or beam pairs in set B and set A.

[0116] In some embodiments, there may also be inter-cell beam management scenarios, where the terminal needs to obtain beam information from neighboring cells. In this scenario, the same problem arises: the terminal needs to measure the reference signal resources of multiple neighboring cells to obtain the beam ID and / or L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the optimal beam of each neighboring cell. Furthermore, when the terminal supports carrier aggregation, it also needs to measure beams on multiple carriers.

[0117] In some embodiments, for the management of AI / Machine Learning (ML) functions or models, performance monitoring of AI-based functions or models is considered. This mainly involves monitoring whether the performance of the function or model meets a threshold; if it does not, it can be deactivated; if it does, it can be activated.

[0118] In summary, for performance monitoring of beam prediction models, especially beam prediction models for inter-frequency serving cells or neighboring cells, the terminal needs to measure the reference signal resources of multiple cells. The overhead of measuring reference signal resources is large, and the measurement complexity is also high.

That is, terminal 101 can predict the beam information of another serving cell based on the measurement of the beam of the serving cell.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first cell is the serving cell of terminal 101, the second cell is the serving cell of terminal 101, and the first cell and the second cell are the same.

[0150] That is, in this embodiment of the application, the terminal 101 can predict the reference signal quality of the first cell based on the measurement of the reference signal of the second cell.

[0151] It should be noted that the order in which the terminal 101 receives the first configuration information and the second configuration information is not limited. It may receive the second configuration information first or the first configuration information first. This application embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0152] In step S2103, terminal 101 obtains the first information.

[0153] In some embodiments, terminal 101 can obtain first information corresponding to the first reference signal resource set.

[0154] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may receive reference signals on each of the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set based on the first configuration information described above, and perform measurements to obtain the first information described above.

[0171] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may receive a second reference signal on each second reference signal resource in the second reference signal resource set based on the second configuration information described above, and perform measurements to obtain the second information described above.

[0172] In some embodiments, the second information is used to input into the first model to obtain the third information corresponding to the third reference signal resource set.

[0173] In some embodiments, the second information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0174] The signal quality corresponding to at least one second reference signal resource in the aforementioned second reference signal resource set.

[0175] Optionally, the aforementioned signal quality includes at least one of the following:

[0180] Layer 3 Received Signal Strength Indicator (L3-RSSI);

[0181] Channel State Information (CSI).

[0182] Optionally, the aforementioned CSI may include at least one of the following: Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), Rank Indicator (RI), Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), etc.

[0183] In some embodiments, the name of the second information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "measurement result", "measurement value", "measurement result of the second reference signal resource set", "measurement value of the second reference signal resource set", "measurement value corresponding to the measurement signal", etc.

[0184] Step S2105, terminal 101 obtains third information.

[0185] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may obtain the third information corresponding to the third reference signal resource set based on the second information.

[0186] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may obtain the third information corresponding to the third reference signal resource set based on the second information and the first model described above.

[0187] The aforementioned third reference signal resource set is the reference signal resource set corresponding to the aforementioned first cell.

[0188] In this embodiment of the application, the third information corresponding to the third reference signal resource set is predicted based on the measured second information.

[0189] In other words, in this embodiment of the application, the reference signal resources of the first cell can be predicted based on the measurement of the second reference signal resource set of the second cell, thereby predicting the third information corresponding to the third reference signal resource set. It is understood that, in order to verify the above prediction result, a first reference signal resource set needs to be configured, enabling the verification of the above prediction result based on the measurement of the first reference signal resource set.

[0190] In some embodiments, the aforementioned third information may include at least one of the following:

[0191] The signal quality corresponding to at least one third reference signal resource in the aforementioned third reference signal resource set;

[0192] The identifier of the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality.

[0200] Optionally, the aforementioned CSI may include at least one of the following: Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), Rank Indicator (RI), Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), etc.

[0201] Optionally, the aforementioned second quantity may be pre-agreed upon by the protocol, configured by the network device, or determined by the terminal 101 based on its own implementation, etc.

[0202] In some embodiments, the name of the aforementioned third information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "prediction result", "predicted value", "prediction result of the third reference signal resource set", "predicted value of the third reference signal resource set", "predicted value corresponding to the predicted signal", etc.

[0203] In some embodiments, the first information and the third information described above are used to determine the fourth information.

[0204] In some embodiments, the fourth information is used to indicate the accuracy information of the first model.

[0205] Optionally, the aforementioned fourth information may be determined by terminal 101 or by network device 102.

[0206] In some embodiments, the name of the fourth information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "accuracy indication", "accuracy information", "performance monitoring information", "performance indication", "prediction accuracy indication", "prediction accuracy information", etc.

[0207] In some embodiments, the aforementioned first reference signal resource set corresponds to one or more first transmission occupancy (TO).

[0208] In some embodiments, the aforementioned third reference signal resource set corresponds to one or more second TOs.

[0209] It is understandable that the first TO corresponding to the first set of reference signal resources is a transmission time window, within which each reference signal resource in the first set of reference signal resources will be transmitted once. Similarly, the second TO corresponding to the third set of reference signal resources is also a transmission time window, within which each reference signal resource in the third set of reference signal resources will be transmitted once.

[0210] In some embodiments, both the first reference signal resource set and the third reference signal resource set correspond to multiple TOs, and the first TO with the shortest time interval is associated with the second TO; wherein, the first information corresponding to the first reference signal resource set corresponding to the associated first TO, and the third information corresponding to the third reference signal resource set corresponding to the associated second TO, are used to determine the fourth information.

[0211] It is understandable that the first and third reference signal resource sets on the two associated TOs are two reference signal resource sets used to compare and determine the fourth information.

[0212] That is, in some embodiments, since performance monitoring of the first model may require multiple derivations based on the first model, and each derivation yields a third reference signal resource set corresponding to a second TO, and the corresponding first reference signal resource set corresponding to a first TO, it is necessary to consider how to match the multiple TOs of the first reference signal resource set with the multiple TOs of the third reference signal resource set as a pair for calculating the fourth information.

[0213] In some embodiments, optionally, the shortest time interval refers to the shortest interval between the reference point of the first TO and the reference point of the second TO.

[0214] Optionally, the reference point for the first TO mentioned above can be any of the following:

[0215] The first time-domain symbol corresponding to the earliest transmitted first reference signal resource in the aforementioned first reference signal resource set;

[0216] The last time-domain symbol corresponding to the first reference signal resource with the latest transmission time in the aforementioned first reference signal resource set;

[0217] The time-domain symbol located at the middle position between the first time-domain symbol corresponding to the first reference signal resource with the earliest transmission time in the aforementioned first reference signal resource set and the last time-domain symbol corresponding to the first reference signal resource with the latest transmission time in the aforementioned first reference signal resource set;

[0218] The first reference point is specified, such as the time corresponding to the reference resource or the reference time, which is related to the CSI report sending time.

[0219] Optionally, the reference point for the second TO mentioned above can be any of the following:

[0220] The first time-domain symbol corresponding to the third reference signal resource with the earliest transmission time in the aforementioned third reference signal resource set;

[0221] The last time-domain symbol corresponding to the third reference signal resource with the latest transmission time in the aforementioned third reference signal resource set;

[0222] The time-domain symbol located in the middle position between the first time-domain symbol corresponding to the third reference signal resource with the earliest transmission time in the aforementioned third reference signal resource set and the last time-domain symbol corresponding to the third reference signal resource with the latest transmission time in the aforementioned third reference signal resource set;

[0223] The specified second reference point, such as the time corresponding to referenceresource or referencetime, is related to the CSI report sending time.

[0224] In some embodiments, the determination of the reference point may be based on a pre-agreed protocol or on a pre-configured network, etc.

[0225] In some embodiments, the third set of reference signal resources is the same as the first set of reference signal resources.

[0226] In some embodiments, the fourth information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0227] The second indication information is used to indicate the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0228] The third indication information is used to indicate the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0229] The fourth indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third information and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first information is within a preset threshold.

[0230] The fifth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0231] The sixth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0232] The seventh indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third value and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first value within a preset threshold.

[0233] It is understood that the aforementioned second indication information can indicate that the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, can be considered accurate.

[0234] The aforementioned third indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams, including at least one of the predicted second number of optimal beams, can be considered to be accurate.

[0235] The aforementioned fourth indication information indicates that if the difference between the predicted signal quality and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam is within a threshold, the prediction can be considered accurate.

[0236] The aforementioned fifth indication information can indicate the proportion of the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams; for example, if a total of N measurements yield the first number of optimal beams and N predictions yield the second number of optimal beams, and M of these measurements satisfy the condition that the predicted second number of optimal beams includes at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, then the proportion is determined to be M / N.

[0237] The aforementioned sixth indication information can indicate the proportion of the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, including at least one of the second number of best beams predicted; for example, if a total of N measurements are obtained, each yielding a first number of best beams, and N predictions are obtained, each yielding a second number of best beams, and M of these measurements satisfy the condition that the first number of best beams obtained by measurement includes at least one of the second number of best beams predicted, then the proportion is determined to be M / N.

[0238] The aforementioned seventh indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam within a threshold. For example, if N measurements are performed to obtain the measurement results (signal quality measurement results) of a specified beam, and N predictions are performed to obtain the prediction results (signal quality prediction results) of the specified beam, and M of these predictions satisfy the condition that the difference between the prediction result and the measurement result is within a preset threshold, then this proportion is determined to be M / N. The specified beam can be the same or different each time.

[0239] Optionally, the above ratio information may be the statistical results corresponding to multiple predictions.

[0240] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set is different from the first reference signal resource set, and each first reference signal resource in the first reference signal resource set has a first relationship with one or more third reference signal resources in the third reference signal resource set.

[0241] Optionally, the first relationship mentioned above is a quasi-co-location QCL relationship.

[0242] Optionally, the first relationship mentioned above is QCL-Type D.

[0243] Optionally, the above first relationship is a mapping relationship, such as one first reference signal resource corresponding to one or more third reference signal resources.

[0244] In some embodiments, each first reference signal resource is a QCL source of at least one third reference signal resource in the aforementioned third reference resource set.

[0245] In the above embodiment, the number of reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set is less than the number of reference signal resources in the third reference signal resource set.

[0246] In some embodiments, the beam range covered by each first reference signal resource is the same as the sum of the beam ranges covered by one or more third reference signal resources in the third reference signal resource set.

[0247] In some embodiments, the first reference signal resource is a wide beam and the third reference signal resource is a narrow beam.

[0248] In some embodiments, the first reference signal resource set includes a synchronization signal block (SSB) and / or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0249] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set includes a synchronization signal block (SSB) and / or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0250] In some embodiments, the first reference signal resource is an SSB and the third reference signal resource is a CSI-RS.

[0251] In some embodiments, the fourth information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0252] The eighth indication information is used to indicate a first reference signal resource that has a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0253] Ninth indication information, the aforementioned ninth indication information is used to indicate the aforementioned first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the first reference signal resources that have a first relationship with the aforementioned second number of third reference signal resources;

[0254] The tenth indication information is used to indicate that one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources correspond to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0255] The eleventh indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality of the second number of third reference signal resources and the signal quality corresponding to the first number of first reference signal resources is within a preset threshold, wherein the third reference signal resources and the first reference signal resources have a first relationship.

[0256] The twelfth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of a first reference signal resource that has a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0257] The thirteenth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources that have a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources.

[0258] The fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources corresponding to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0259] The fifteenth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of the difference between the signal quality of the second number of third reference signal resources and the signal quality corresponding to the first number of first reference signal resources within a preset threshold, wherein the third reference signal resources and the first reference signal resources have a first relationship.

[0260] It is understood that the aforementioned eighth indication information can indicate that the first beam, which has a first relationship mapping with the predicted second number of optimal beams, includes one or more of the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the first RS IDs corresponding to the M optimal third RS IDs contain one or more of the actually measured N optimal first RS IDs.

[0261] The aforementioned ninth indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams include one or more of the first beams that have a first relational mapping with the predicted second number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as the actually measured N optimal first RS IDs contain one or more of the first RS IDs corresponding to the optimal M third RS IDs.

[0262] The aforementioned tenth indication information can indicate that one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams correspond to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the M optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the N first RS IDs.

[0263] The aforementioned eleventh indication indicates that the difference between the predicted signal quality of a specified beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the specified beam is within a threshold. For example, for a specified first RS ID and a third RS ID (the first RS and the third RS have a first relationship), if the difference between the predicted signal quality of the third RS and the measured signal quality of the first RS is within a threshold, it indicates that the prediction is accurate. It is understood that a difference higher than the threshold indicates that the prediction is inaccurate.

[0264] The aforementioned twelfth indication information can indicate the proportion of one or more of the first number of best beams measured, which are mapped to the first number of best beams with a first relationship. For example, if M best third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N best first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that one or more first RS IDs corresponding to the M best third RS IDs contain one or more of the N best first RS IDs actually measured, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0265] The aforementioned thirteenth indication information can indicate the proportion of one or more of the first beams that have a first relational mapping with the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, which are the first number of optimal beams. For example, if M optimal third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N optimal first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that the N optimal first RS IDs actually measured contain one or more of the one or more first RS IDs corresponding to the M optimal third RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0266] The fourteenth indication information mentioned above indicates the proportion of one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams corresponding to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if M optimal third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N optimal first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that one or more of the M optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the N first RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0267] The aforementioned fifteenth indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality of a specified beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the specified beam within a threshold. For example, for a pair of first RS IDs and third RS IDs with a first relational mapping, a total of P predictions of the signal quality of the third RS and P measurements of the signal quality of the first RS are obtained, where Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that the difference between the prediction result and the measurement result is within a preset threshold, and this proportion is determined to be Q / P. The RS IDs predicted each time can be the same or different.

[0268] Optionally, the above ratio information may be the statistical results corresponding to multiple predictions.

[0269] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set is different from the first reference signal resource set, and the first reference signal resource set is a subset of the third reference signal resource set.

[0270] In some embodiments, when the second number of third reference signal resources are included in the first reference signal set, the fourth information is determined.

[0271] In some embodiments, the fourth information is determined when at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is included in the first reference signal set.

[0272] In some embodiments, when the first set of reference signals includes at least a third reference signal resource of the best quality, the fourth information is determined.

[0273] As an example, the fourth information is determined when all M optimal third RS IDs output by the model are in the first reference signal resource set.

[0274] As an example, the fourth information is determined when the first set of reference signal resources includes at least the third RS ID of the best quality.

[0275] It is understandable that, since the number of reference signal resources in the first set of reference signal resources is less than the number of reference signal resources in the third set of reference signal resources, for example, if there are N measurements that yield the best signal quality for the first number of first reference signal resources and N predictions that yield the best signal quality for the second number of third reference signal resources, if only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first set of reference signal resources, then only the first and third information from these M measurements can be used to determine the fourth information.

[0276] In some embodiments, the fourth information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0277] The second indication information is used to indicate the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0278] The third indication information is used to indicate the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0279] The fourth indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third information and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first information is within a preset threshold.

[0280] The fifth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0281] The sixth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0282] The seventh indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third value and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first value within a preset threshold.

[0283] The tenth indication information is used to indicate that one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources correspond to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0284] The fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources corresponding to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0285] It is understood that the aforementioned second indication information can indicate that the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, can be considered accurate.

[0286] The aforementioned third indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams, including at least one of the predicted second number of optimal beams, can be considered to be accurate.

[0287] The aforementioned fourth indication information indicates that if the difference between the predicted signal quality and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam is within a threshold, the prediction can be considered accurate.

[0288] The aforementioned fifth indication information can indicate the proportion of the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams; for example, if there are N measurements yielding the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of these M measurements satisfy the condition that the predicted second number of optimal beams includes at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, then the proportion is L / M.

[0289] The aforementioned sixth indication information can indicate the proportion of the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, including at least one of the predicted second number of best beams; for example, if a total of N measurements yield the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yield the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy that the first number of best beams obtained by measurement includes at least one of the predicted second number of best beams, then this proportion is determined to be L / M.

[0290] The aforementioned seventh indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality of the beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam within a threshold. For example, if there are N measurements yielding a first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding a second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy the condition that the difference between the predicted signal quality of the specified beam and the measured signal quality of the specified beam is within a threshold, then this proportion is determined to be L / M. The specified beam can be the same or different each time.

[0291] The aforementioned tenth indication information can indicate that one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams correspond to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs a second number of optimal third RS IDs and the terminal measures and obtains a first number of optimal first RS IDs, the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the second number of optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the first number of first RS IDs.

[0292] The fourteenth indication mentioned above indicates the proportion of one or more of the predicted second-number optimal beams corresponding to the same cell as the measured first-number optimal beams. For example, if there are N measurements yielding the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy the condition that one or more of the second number of optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the first number of first RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be L / P.

[0361] The probability that the difference between the predicted signal quality of the predicted optimal beam and the measured signal quality of the predicted optimal beam is within a threshold.

[0362] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set is different from the first reference signal resource set, and each first reference signal resource in the first reference signal resource set has a first relationship with one or more third reference signal resources in the third reference signal resource set.

[0363] Optionally, the first relationship mentioned above is a quasi-co-location QCL relationship.

[0368] In some embodiments, the beam range covered by each first reference signal resource is the same as the sum of the beam ranges covered by one or more third reference signal resources in the third reference signal resource set.

[0369] In some embodiments, the first reference signal resource is a wide beam and the third reference signal resource is a narrow beam.

[0370] In some embodiments, the first reference signal resource set includes a synchronization signal block (SSB) and / or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0371] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set includes a synchronization signal block (SSB) and / or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0372] In some embodiments, the first reference signal resource is an SSB and the third reference signal resource is a CSI-RS.

[0373] In some embodiments, the fourth information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0374] The eighth indication information is used to indicate a first reference signal resource that has a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0375] Ninth indication information, the aforementioned ninth indication information is used to indicate the aforementioned first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the first reference signal resources that have a first relationship with the aforementioned second number of third reference signal resources;

[0376] The tenth indication information is used to indicate that one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources correspond to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0377] The eleventh indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality of the second number of third reference signal resources and the signal quality corresponding to the first number of first reference signal resources is within a preset threshold, wherein the third reference signal resources and the first reference signal resources have a first relationship.

[0378] The twelfth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of a first reference signal resource that has a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0379] The thirteenth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources that have a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources.

[0380] The fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources corresponding to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0381] The fifteenth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of the difference between the signal quality of the second number of third reference signal resources and the signal quality corresponding to the first number of first reference signal resources within a preset threshold, wherein the third reference signal resources and the first reference signal resources have a first relationship.

[0382] It is understood that the aforementioned eighth indication information can indicate that the first beam, which has a first relationship mapping with the predicted second number of optimal beams, includes one or more of the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the first RS IDs corresponding to the M optimal third RS IDs contain one or more of the actually measured N optimal first RS IDs.

[0383] The aforementioned ninth indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams include one or more of the first beams that have a first relational mapping with the predicted second number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as the actually measured N optimal first RS IDs contain one or more of the first RS IDs corresponding to the optimal M third RS IDs.

[0384] The aforementioned tenth indication information can indicate that one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams correspond to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the M optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the N first RS IDs.

[0385] The aforementioned eleventh indication indicates that the difference between the predicted signal quality of a specified beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the specified beam is within a threshold. For example, for a specified first RS ID and a third RS ID (the first RS and the third RS have a first relationship), if the difference between the predicted signal quality of the third RS and the measured signal quality of the first RS is within a threshold, it indicates that the prediction is accurate. It is understood that a difference higher than the threshold indicates that the prediction is inaccurate.

[0386] The aforementioned twelfth indication information can indicate the proportion of one or more of the first number of best beams measured, which are mapped to the first number of best beams with a first relationship. For example, if M best third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N best first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that one or more first RS IDs corresponding to the M best third RS IDs contain one or more of the N best first RS IDs actually measured, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0387] The aforementioned thirteenth indication information can indicate the proportion of one or more of the first beams that have a first relational mapping with the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, which are the first number of optimal beams. For example, if M optimal third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N optimal first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that the N optimal first RS IDs actually measured contain one or more of the one or more first RS IDs corresponding to the M optimal third RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0388] The fourteenth indication information mentioned above indicates the proportion of one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams corresponding to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if M optimal third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N optimal first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that one or more of the M optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the N first RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0389] The aforementioned fifteenth indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality of a specified beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the specified beam within a threshold. For example, for a pair of first RS IDs and third RS IDs with a first relational mapping, a total of P predictions of the signal quality of the third RS and P measurements of the signal quality of the first RS are obtained, where Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that the difference between the prediction result and the measurement result is within a preset threshold, and this proportion is determined to be Q / P. The RS IDs predicted each time can be the same or different.

[0390] Optionally, the above ratio information may be the statistical results corresponding to multiple predictions.

[0391] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set is different from the first reference signal resource set, and the first reference signal resource set is a subset of the third reference signal resource set.

[0392] In some embodiments, when the second number of third reference signal resources are included in the first reference signal set, the fourth information is determined.

[0393] In some embodiments, the fourth information is determined when one of the second number of third reference signal resources is included in the first reference signal set.

[0394] In some embodiments, the fourth information is determined when the first reference signal set includes at least a third reference signal resource of the best quality.

[0395] As an example, the fourth information is determined when all M optimal third RS IDs output by the model are in the first reference signal resource set.

[0396] As an example, the fourth information is determined when the first set of reference signal resources includes at least the third RS ID of the best quality.

[0397] It is understandable that, since the number of reference signal resources in the first set of reference signal resources is less than the number of reference signal resources in the third set of reference signal resources, for example, if there are N measurements that yield the best signal quality for the first number of first reference signal resources and N predictions that yield the best signal quality for the second number of third reference signal resources, if only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first set of reference signal resources, then only the first and third information from these M measurements can be used to determine the fourth information.

[0398] In some embodiments, the fourth information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0399] The second indication information is used to indicate the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0400] The third indication information is used to indicate the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0401] The fourth indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third information and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first information is within a preset threshold.

[0402] The fifth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0403] The sixth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0404] The seventh indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third value and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first value within a preset threshold.

[0405] The tenth indication information is used to indicate that one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources correspond to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0406] The fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources corresponding to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0407] It is understood that the aforementioned second indication information can indicate that the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, can be considered accurate.

[0408] The aforementioned third indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams, including at least one of the predicted second number of optimal beams, can be considered to be accurate.

[0409] The aforementioned fourth indication information indicates that if the difference between the predicted signal quality and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam is within a threshold, the prediction can be considered accurate.

[0410] The aforementioned fifth indication information can indicate the proportion of the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams; for example, if there are N measurements yielding the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of these M measurements satisfy the condition that the predicted second number of optimal beams includes at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, then the proportion is L / M.

[0411] The aforementioned sixth indication information can indicate the proportion of the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, including at least one of the predicted second number of best beams; for example, if a total of N measurements yield the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yield the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy that the first number of best beams obtained by measurement includes at least one of the predicted second number of best beams, then this proportion is determined to be L / M.

[0412] The aforementioned seventh indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality of the beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam within a threshold. For example, if there are N measurements yielding a first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding a second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy the condition that the difference between the predicted signal quality of the specified beam and the measured signal quality of the specified beam is within a threshold, then this proportion is determined to be L / M. The specified beam can be the same or different each time.

[0413] The aforementioned tenth indication information can indicate that one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams correspond to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs a second number of optimal third RS IDs and the terminal measures and obtains a first number of optimal first RS IDs, the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the second number of optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the first number of first RS IDs.

[0414] The fourteenth indication mentioned above indicates the proportion of one or more of the predicted second-number optimal beams corresponding to the same cell as the measured first-number optimal beams. For example, if there are N measurements yielding the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy the condition that one or more of the second number of optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the first number of first RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be L / P.

[0415] Optionally, the above ratio information may be the statistical results corresponding to multiple predictions.

[0428] In some embodiments, the third set of reference signal resources is the same as the first set of reference signal resources.

[0430] The second indication information is used to indicate the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0431] The third indication information is used to indicate the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0432] The fourth indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third information and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first information is within a preset threshold.

[0435] The seventh indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third value and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first value within a preset threshold.

[0436] It is understood that the aforementioned second indication information can indicate that the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, can be considered accurate.

[0437] The aforementioned third indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams, including at least one of the predicted second number of optimal beams, can be considered to be accurate.

[0438] The aforementioned fourth indication information indicates that if the difference between the predicted signal quality and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam is within a threshold, the prediction can be considered accurate.

[0439] The aforementioned fifth indication information can indicate the proportion of the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams; for example, if a total of N measurements yield the first number of optimal beams and N predictions yield the second number of optimal beams, and M of these measurements satisfy the condition that the predicted second number of optimal beams includes at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, then the proportion is determined to be M / N.

[0440] The aforementioned sixth indication information can indicate the proportion of the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, including at least one of the second number of best beams predicted; for example, if a total of N measurements are obtained, each yielding a first number of best beams, and N predictions are obtained, each yielding a second number of best beams, and M of these measurements satisfy the condition that the first number of best beams obtained by measurement includes at least one of the second number of best beams predicted, then the proportion is determined to be M / N.

[0441] The aforementioned seventh indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality of the beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam within a threshold. For example, if N measurements are performed to obtain the measurement results (signal quality measurement results) of a specified beam, and N predictions are performed to obtain the prediction results (signal quality prediction results) of the specified beam, and M of these predictions satisfy the condition that the difference between the prediction result and the measurement result is within a preset threshold, then this proportion is determined to be M / N. The specified beam can be the same or different each time.

[0442] Optionally, the above ratio information may be the statistical results corresponding to multiple predictions.

[0443] In some embodiments, the performance monitoring metric for the first model described above can be beam accuracy, which can be defined as any of the following:

[0444] The predicted N optimal beams include the measurement optimal beam: it can be the judgment result of a single prediction being "yes" or "no"; or it can be the proportion of "yes" or "no" for the statistical results of multiple predictions.

[0445] The best beam obtained from the prediction can be one of the N best beams measured: either a single prediction with a judgment result of "yes" or "no"; or the proportion of "yes" or "no" for multiple predictions.

[0449] The probability that the difference between the predicted signal quality of the predicted optimal beam and the measured signal quality of the predicted optimal beam is within a threshold.

[0450] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set is different from the first reference signal resource set, and each first reference signal resource in the first reference signal resource set has a first relationship with one or more third reference signal resources in the third reference signal resource set.

[0451] Optionally, the first relationship mentioned above is a quasi-co-location QCL relationship.

[0452] Optionally, the first relationship mentioned above is QCL-Type D.

[0453] In some embodiments, each first reference signal resource is a QCL source of at least one third reference signal resource in the aforementioned third reference resource set.

[0454] Optionally, the above first relationship is a mapping relationship, such as one first reference signal resource corresponding to one or more third reference signal resources.

[0455] In some embodiments, the fourth information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0456] The eighth indication information is used to indicate a first reference signal resource that has a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0457] Ninth indication information, the aforementioned ninth indication information is used to indicate the aforementioned first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the first reference signal resources that have a first relationship with the aforementioned second number of third reference signal resources;

[0458] The tenth indication information is used to indicate that one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources correspond to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0459] The eleventh indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality of the second number of third reference signal resources and the signal quality corresponding to the first number of first reference signal resources is within a preset threshold, wherein the third reference signal resources and the first reference signal resources have a first relationship.

[0460] The twelfth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of a first reference signal resource that has a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0461] The thirteenth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources that have a first relationship with the second number of third reference signal resources.

[0462] The fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources corresponding to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0463] The fifteenth instruction information is used to indicate the proportion of the difference between the signal quality of the second number of third reference signal resources and the signal quality corresponding to the first number of first reference signal resources within a preset threshold, wherein the third reference signal resources and the first reference signal resources have a first relationship.

[0464] It is understood that the aforementioned eighth indication information can indicate that the first beam, which has a first relationship mapping with the predicted second number of optimal beams, includes one or more of the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the first RS IDs corresponding to the M optimal third RS IDs contain one or more of the actually measured N optimal first RS IDs.

[0465] The aforementioned ninth indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams include one or more of the first beams that have a first relational mapping with the predicted second number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as the actually measured N optimal first RS IDs contain one or more of the first RS IDs corresponding to the optimal M third RS IDs.

[0466] The aforementioned tenth indication information can indicate that one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams correspond to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs M optimal third RS IDs, and the terminal measures the first reference signal resources in the first reference signal resource set to obtain N optimal first RS IDs, then the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the M optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the N first RS IDs.

[0467] The aforementioned eleventh indication indicates that the difference between the predicted signal quality of a specified beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the specified beam is within a threshold. For example, for a specified first RS ID and a third RS ID (the first RS and the third RS have a first relationship), if the difference between the predicted signal quality of the third RS and the measured signal quality of the first RS is within a threshold, it indicates that the prediction is accurate. It is understood that a difference higher than the threshold indicates that the prediction is inaccurate.

[0468] The aforementioned twelfth indication information can indicate the proportion of one or more of the first number of best beams measured, which are mapped to the first number of best beams with a first relationship. For example, if M best third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N best first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that one or more first RS IDs corresponding to the M best third RS IDs contain one or more of the N best first RS IDs actually measured, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0469] The aforementioned thirteenth indication information can indicate the proportion of one or more of the first beams that have a first relational mapping with the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, which are the first number of optimal beams. For example, if M optimal third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N optimal first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that the N optimal first RS IDs actually measured contain one or more of the one or more first RS IDs corresponding to the M optimal third RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0470] The fourteenth indication information mentioned above indicates the proportion of one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams corresponding to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if M optimal third RS IDs are obtained from P model predictions, and N optimal first RS IDs are obtained from P measurements by the terminal, and Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that one or more of the M optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the N first RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be Q / P.

[0471] The aforementioned fifteenth indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality of a specified beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the specified beam within a threshold. For example, for a pair of first RS IDs and third RS IDs with a first relational mapping, a total of P predictions of the signal quality of the third RS and P measurements of the signal quality of the first RS are obtained, where Q of these measurements satisfy the condition that the difference between the prediction result and the measurement result is within a preset threshold, and this proportion is determined to be Q / P. The RS IDs predicted each time can be the same or different.

[0472] Optionally, the above ratio information may be the statistical results corresponding to multiple predictions.

[0473] In some embodiments, the third reference signal resource set is different from the first reference signal resource set, and the first reference signal resource set is a subset of the third reference signal resource set.

[0474] In some embodiments, when the second number of third reference signal resources are included in the first reference signal set, the fourth information is determined.

[0475] In some embodiments, the fourth information is determined when one of the second number of third reference signal resources is included in the first reference signal set.

[0476] In some embodiments, the fourth information is determined when the first reference signal set includes at least a third reference signal resource of the best quality.

[0477] As an example, the fourth information is determined when all M optimal third RS IDs output by the model are in the first reference signal resource set.

[0478] As an example, the fourth information is determined when the first set of reference signal resources includes at least the third RS ID of the best quality.

[0479] It is understandable that, since the number of reference signal resources in the first set of reference signal resources is less than the number of reference signal resources in the third set of reference signal resources, for example, if there are N measurements that yield the best signal quality for the first number of first reference signal resources and N predictions that yield the best signal quality for the second number of third reference signal resources, if only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first set of reference signal resources, then only the first and third information from these M measurements can be used to determine the fourth information.

[0480] In some embodiments, the fourth information described above may include at least one of the following:

[0481] The second indication information is used to indicate the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0482] The third indication information is used to indicate the first number of first reference signal resources, including one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources;

[0483] The fourth indication information is used to indicate that the difference between the signal quality corresponding to the specified third reference signal resource in the third information and the signal quality corresponding to the specified first reference signal resource in the first information is within a preset threshold.

[0484] The fifth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of the second number of third reference signal resources, including one or more of the first number of first reference signal resources;

[0487] The tenth indication information is used to indicate that one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources correspond to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0488] The fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the proportion of one or more of the second number of third reference signal resources corresponding to the same cell as the first number of first reference signal resources.

[0489] It is understood that the aforementioned second indication information can indicate that the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, can be considered accurate.

[0490] The aforementioned third indication information can indicate that the measured first number of optimal beams, including at least one of the predicted second number of optimal beams, can be considered to be accurate.

[0491] The aforementioned fourth indication information indicates that if the difference between the predicted signal quality and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam is within a threshold, the prediction can be considered accurate.

[0492] The aforementioned fifth indication information can indicate the proportion of the predicted second number of optimal beams, including at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams; for example, if there are N measurements yielding the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of these M measurements satisfy the condition that the predicted second number of optimal beams includes at least one of the measured first number of optimal beams, then the proportion is L / M.

[0493] The aforementioned sixth indication information can indicate the proportion of the first number of best beams obtained by measurement, including at least one of the predicted second number of best beams; for example, if a total of N measurements yield the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yield the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy that the first number of best beams obtained by measurement includes at least one of the predicted second number of best beams, then this proportion is determined to be L / M.

[0494] The aforementioned seventh indication information indicates the proportion of the difference between the predicted signal quality of the beam and the corresponding measured signal quality of the beam within a threshold. For example, if there are N measurements yielding a first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding a second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy the condition that the difference between the predicted signal quality of the specified beam and the measured signal quality of the specified beam is within a threshold, then this proportion is determined to be L / M. The specified beam can be the same or different each time.

[0495] The aforementioned tenth indication information can indicate that one or more of the predicted second number of optimal beams correspond to the same cell as the measured first number of optimal beams. For example, if the model outputs a second number of optimal third RS IDs and the terminal measures and obtains a first number of optimal first RS IDs, the prediction is accurate as long as one or more of the second number of optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the first number of first RS IDs.

[0496] The fourteenth indication mentioned above indicates the proportion of one or more of the predicted second-number optimal beams corresponding to the same cell as the measured first-number optimal beams. For example, if there are N measurements yielding the first number of first reference signal resources with the best signal quality and N predictions yielding the second number of third reference signal resources with the best signal quality, and only M measurements satisfy the condition that at least one of the second number of third reference signal resources is in the first reference signal resource set, and L of the M measurements satisfy the condition that one or more of the second number of optimal third RS IDs output by the model correspond to the same cell as the first number of first RS IDs, then this proportion is determined to be L / P.

[0497] Optionally, the above ratio information may be the statistical results corresponding to multiple predictions.

[0498] In some embodiments, steps S3301 and S3302 may be performed in an alternate order or simultaneously.

[0499] In some embodiments, the steps and their optional implementations in other embodiments described before or after this embodiment, as well as other related parts in the specification, can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0501] It should be understood that the division of units or modules in the above device is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into a single physical entity, or they can be physically separated. Furthermore, the units or modules in the device can be implemented by a processor calling software: for example, the device includes a processor connected to a memory containing instructions. The processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or to implement the functions of the units or modules in the above device. The processor can be, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory can be internal or external to the device. Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits. The functionality of some or all of the units or modules can be achieved through the design of these hardware circuits, which can be understood as one or more processors. For example, in one implementation, the hardware circuit is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The functionality of some or all of the units or modules is achieved through the design of the logical relationships between the components within the circuit. In another implementation, the hardware circuit can be implemented using a programmable logic device (PLD). Taking a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) as an example, it can include a large number of logic gates. The connection relationships between the logic gates are configured through configuration files, thereby achieving the functionality of some or all of the units or modules. All units or modules of the above device can be implemented entirely through processor-called software, entirely through hardware circuits, or partially through processor-called software with the remaining parts implemented through hardware circuits.

[0502] In this application embodiment, the processor is a circuit with signal processing capabilities. In one implementation, the processor can be a circuit with instruction read and execute capabilities, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) (which can be understood as a microprocessor), or a digital signal processor (DSP). In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. The logical relationships of the aforementioned hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. 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).
