[0042] First, the nouns and application scenarios involved in the embodiments of this application are introduced:
[0043] 1. The AI unit / AI model described in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as an AI unit, AI model, machine learning (ML) model, ML unit, AI structure, AI function, AI feature, machine learning model, neural network, neural network function, neural network function, etc., or the AI unit / AI model may also refer to a processing unit capable of implementing specific AI-related algorithms, formulas, processing flows, capabilities, etc., or the AI unit / AI model may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit for a specific data set, or the AI unit / AI model may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit running on AI / ML-related hardware such as a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which is not specifically limited in the present invention. Optionally, the specific data set includes the input and / or output of the AI unit / AI model.
[0044] Optionally, the identifier of the AI unit / AI model may be an AI model identifier, an AI structure identifier, an AI algorithm identifier, or an identifier of a specific data set associated with the AI unit / AI model, or an identifier of a specific scenario, environment, channel feature, or device related to the AI / ML, or an identifier of a function, feature, capability, or module related to the AI / ML. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.
[0045] 2. There are many ways to implement AI models, such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, Bayesian classifiers, etc. This application uses neural networks as an example for illustration, but does not limit the specific type of AI model.
[0046] Optionally, the neural network is composed of neurons, and a schematic diagram of a neuron is shown in FIG1b. Where a1, a2, ... a K is the input, w1,w2,…w K As weights (multiplicative coefficients), (w1,w2,…w K ) is denoted as W, b is the bias (additive coefficient), and σ(.) is the activation function. Common activation functions include Sigmoid, Tanh, and Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU).
[0047] Where z = a1w1+…+a k wk +…+a K w K +b.
[0048] Optionally, the neural network parameters are optimized using a gradient optimization algorithm. Gradient optimization algorithms are a class of algorithms that minimize or maximize an objective function (also called a loss function), which is often a mathematical combination of model parameters and data. For example, given data X and its corresponding label Y, a neural network model f(.) is constructed. With the model, the predicted output f(x) can be obtained based on the input x, and the difference between the predicted value and the true value (f(x) - Y) can be calculated. (f(x) - Y) is the loss function. The ultimate goal is to find the appropriate W,b to minimize the value of this loss function. The smaller the loss value, the closer the model is to the true value.
[0049] Currently, most common optimization algorithms are based on the BP (Error Back Propagation) algorithm. The basic concept of the BP algorithm is that the learning process consists of two steps: forward propagation of signals and backward propagation of errors. During forward propagation, input samples are passed from the input layer, processed layer by layer through each hidden layer, and then transmitted to the output layer. If the actual output of the output layer does not match the expected output, the error begins to propagate backward. Error backpropagation involves propagating the output error back through the hidden layers to the input layer layer by layer in some form, distributing the error to all units in each layer. This error signal is then generated for each unit in each layer, and used as the basis for correcting the weights of each unit. This process of adjusting the weights of each layer, including forward propagation of signals and backward propagation of errors, is repeated over and over again. This process of continuous weight adjustment is the network's learning and training process. This process continues until the error in the network output is reduced to an acceptable level, or until a pre-set number of learning cycles has been completed.
[0050] Common optimization algorithms include gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent (SGD), mini-batch gradient descent, momentum, Nesterov (name of the inventor, specifically stochastic gradient descent with momentum), adaptive gradient descent (Adagrad), root mean square prop (RMSprop), and adaptive momentum estimation (Adam).
[0051] When these optimization algorithms backpropagate errors, they all calculate the derivative / partial derivative of the current neuron based on the error / loss obtained by the loss function, add the influence of the learning rate, the previous gradient / derivative / partial derivative, etc., obtain the gradient, and pass the gradient to the previous layer.
[0052] The information reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Among them, implicit features can refer to features that have no actual physical meaning.
[0069] The area identifier supported by the AI function means that the AI function can be used in the area corresponding to the area identifier. For example, the AI function, such as the positioning function, can be used when the terminal is in the area corresponding to the area identifier. If the area ID includes at least one;

[0081] Specifically, when the first indication information indicates "1", for example, it indicates that the terminal is in line of sight to the TRP, and "0" indicates that the terminal is in non-line of sight to the TRP; the first indication information can also be a decimal between 0-1, such as 0.9, which indicates line of sight when it is greater than a certain threshold, and non-line of sight when it is less than or equal to the threshold.

For feature group 13-2 (DL PRS resources for DL AOD), the prerequisite feature group is, for example, 13-1 (DLPRS processing capability).

[0102] Optionally, the first information is represented by information of a preset length obtained by encoding, and information at different positions in the information of the preset length is used to represent different parameters in the first information.
[0103] Specifically, information can be indicated by a model identifier (ID). For example, the first information is a relatively long code (which can be fixed-length or variable-length).

[0111] Method 2 (feature-centered reporting):
[0112] When the first information includes information of multiple AI models, and the information of the multiple AI models has the same parameters, the first information includes:
[0113] The AI model identifier corresponding to the same parameters.
[0114] Specifically, some information of multiple AI models may be the same. For example, multiple AI models have the same SINR range. If the information of each AI model is reported separately, this information may be reported repeatedly. To solve this problem, the above method 1 and method 2 can be used:
[0115] For method 1, if the terminal reports the information of model 1, and the model input type and output type of model 2 are the same as those of model 1, then when the terminal reports the information of model 2, it no longer reports the same information as model 1, but sends the association information between model 2 and model 1, for example, adding an indication associated with model 1 in the first information, indicating that the default information is the same as the corresponding information of model 1. The first information can also include: difference information between model 2 and model 1, such as TRP identification, inference accuracy, etc.
[0116] For method 2, for example, the AI models included in the data set ID 1 include model 1, model 2 and model 3, and the AI model IDs included in the model input data as the channel impulse response include model 1, model 4 and model 5, etc.
[0117] For example, the second model uses defaults at the same parameter position to indicate that the corresponding parameters of the previous model are continued to be used, in the following format: [xxx][xxx][default][default]; each [] represents a parameter, and [xxx][xxx] represents the difference information from the previous model; or the corresponding parameters of the Nth model (indicated by the model ID) are continued to be used; in the following format: [xxx][xxx][default][default], model ID, model ID is the ID of the associated model, that is, the associated information.
[0118] In the above implementation, by reporting the association information between models or reporting model information based on features, signaling overhead and resources can be saved.
[0119] Optionally, for the first parameter in the first information reported through the capability of the first device, the first information further includes: a prerequisite feature group that supports the first parameter.
[0120] Optionally, for the first information reported through the capability of the first device, the first information further includes: a feature group serial number corresponding to a feature group supporting the capability of the first device.
[0121] Optionally, the AI function-related information and the AI model-related information in the first information may be divided into two types of information, that is, the first information includes at least one of the following: second information and third information, the second information is used to indicate the AI function-related information, and the third information is used to indicate the AI model-related information;
[0122] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0126] The above information is similar to the information related to the AI function in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0127] Optionally, the second information is reported through the capability of the first device, and the third information is carried by the second information through radio resource control (RRC) signaling or media access control (MAC)-control element (CE) or long-term evolution positioning protocol (LTE Positioning Protocol, LPP) signaling.
[0128] Optionally, the device capability information of the first device related to at least one of the AI function and the AI model includes at least one of the following: capability to support model deployment; capability to measure model input data;
[0129] The support capabilities for model deployment include at least one of the following:
[0130] The maximum supported model computational complexity;
[0131] The maximum number of model parameters supported;
[0132] The maximum number of models supported;
[0133] Model storage capabilities;
[0134] Computing ability;
[0135] whether to support receiving the model from the second device;
[0136] Whether to support deployment of the model from the second device;
[0137] Ability to compile AI models;
[0138] The ability to measure model input data includes at least one of the following:
[0139] The data types supported for measurement;

[0143] The maximum number of TRPs supported for measurement;
[0144] The PRS that supports the maximum number of TRPs measured within the preset measurement time window;
[0145] Supported preprocessing methods for model input data.
[0146] Specifically, support capabilities for model deployment, such as those related to computing power and storage;
[0147] For example, the maximum AI model computational complexity supported by the terminal is 20 million floating-point operations per second (MFLOPs).
[0148] For example, the maximum model parameter amount supported by the terminal is 200KB. Optionally, the model parameter amount can be divided into levels based on different parameter scales, such as A: <100k, B: 100k~1M, C: >1M. Correspondingly, the maximum model parameter amount supported by the terminal can be expressed by level, for example, the level of the maximum model parameter amount supported by the terminal is B.
[0149] Optionally, the data type supported for measurement is consistent with the type of model input data, including at least one of the following: time domain channel impulse response; delay power spectrum; delay spectrum; RSRP.
[0150] Here, the maximum number of additional paths refers to the number of paths other than the primary path, for example;
[0151] The maximum number of TRPs supported for measurement, for example, refers to the maximum number of TRPs for one positioning;
[0152] Among them, the preset measurement time window refers to the measurement time window for measuring the PRS of the maximum TRP number TRP, that is, the PRS of the maximum TRP number TRP needs to be configured within the measurement time window.
[0153] Optionally, the preprocessing method of the model input data includes at least one of the following: truncation processing, fast Fourier transform FFT and normalization.
[0154] Optionally, the truncation process involves, for example, at least one of the following information: truncation length, position, and other information.
[0155] Optionally, the FFT information includes, for example, an FFT window length.
[0156] Optionally, the scenario of this embodiment may be that the AI model of the first device comes from the second device.
[0157] In the above implementation, the first device reports device capability information to the second device, so that the first device and the second device have a common understanding of the device capability information of the first device, so that the second device can assist in the lifecycle management of the first device model, and better support the reasoning and other operations of the first device model, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the model reasoning results, and thereby improving the business processing performance of the AI model, such as positioning performance.
[0158] For example, for AI positioning, there are two types of terminal-side models:
[0159] Case 1: AI / ML Direct Positioning Model
[0160] The model input data includes, for example, the following types: time domain channel impulse response CIR, delay power spectrum PDP or delay spectrum DP;
[0161] The type of model output data is position;
[0162] Case 2: AI / ML Assisted Positioning Model
[0163] The model input data includes, for example, the following types: time domain channel impulse response CIR, delay power spectrum PDP or delay spectrum DP;
[0164] Model output data includes the following types, for example: TOA, RSTD, or LoS / NLoS;
[0165] For example, the model source at the terminal includes the following cases:
[0166] a) Model transfer from NW side;
[0167] b) Model delivery from non-NW side;
[0168] Specifically, for a), the terminal side model comes entirely from the network NW side, so the NW side has all the information of the terminal side model, and the terminal can report the device capability information in the first information to the network side device; for b), the terminal side model comes entirely from the non-NW side, so the NW side has no information of the UE side model, and the terminal can report the first information to the network side device, such as AI function-related information, AI model-related information, and device capability information.
[0169] For example, AI model-related information can be divided into two categories:
[0170] a) Representation information of the model, which is used to reconstruct the model. The representation information of the model includes the model structure, parameters, computational complexity, and parameter quantity;
[0171] b) Underlying information of the model, which is used to represent the data set information used to train the model;
[0172] For example, the AI model identifier, the inference delay range of the AI model, the RSRP range applicable to the AI model, the RSRP distribution applicable to the AI model, the SINR range applicable to the AI model, the SINR distribution applicable to the AI model, the implicit feature distribution applicable to the AI model, the implicit feature acquisition method applicable to the AI model, the number of TRPs supported by the AI model, the number of cells supported by the AI model, the inference accuracy of the AI model, the model calculation complexity, the number of model parameters, etc. can be called the characterization information of the model.
[0173] For example, the dataset identifier associated with the AI model, the type of model input data supported by the AI model, the type of model output data supported by the AI model, etc. can be called the potential information of the model.
[0174] It should be noted that the developer of the model owns all the information of the model. The representation information of the model is just a bunch of parameters and operation logic, and the potential information of the model gives the model a soul.
[0175] The dataset-related information includes:
[0176] a) Input and output information (basic information, also called static information): Essentially, AI model training learns the relationship between input and output. This information is reflected in the model parameters, including the type of model input data, the type of model output data, size, preprocessing, post-processing, etc.
[0177] b) Dataset description information (also called dynamic information): used to describe the attributes of the dataset, such as area ID, SINR range, error distribution, etc.
[0178] It should be noted that the input and output information is the basic information required for the model to run; the descriptive information of the dataset is related to the model generalization and applicability conditions.
