Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0105] In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has made continuous breakthroughs in many fields, and AI technology is also accelerating its cross-penetration with other disciplines.

[0106] In some embodiments, a bilateral AI / machine learning (ML) model based on a terminal-side channel status information (CSI) generation model and a network-side CSI recovery model is developed to respectively implement compression feedback and recovery of CSI.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1B , which is a schematic diagram of implementing CSI compression feedback and recovery based on a bilateral AI / ML model, the UE can compress downlink channel information H using the CSI generation model, quantize it into a binary bit stream, and send it to the gNB. The gNB can recover H', which is approximately the original downlink information, using the CSI recovery model.

[0108] In some embodiments, the CSI generation model and the CSI recovery model are trained using the collected data sets. The types of training the CSI generation model and the CSI recovery model include at least one of the following three types:

[0109] Type 1: The model is trained on one side (such as the terminal side or the network side), and then part of the trained model is sent to the other side.

[0110] Type 2: Joint training is performed on both the terminal and network sides to train the CSI generation and CSI recovery models, respectively. Alternatively, after training a partial model on either the terminal or network side, the other part of the bilateral model is trained on the other side. The parameters of the first trained model are not updated.

[0111] Type 3: First, the model training is completed on one side, and then the training data or other auxiliary information is sent to the other side to complete the training of another part of the model.

[0112] Optionally, the above type 3 can be further divided into network-side priority training and terminal-side priority training:

[0113] Among them, network-first training (NW-first training): the network side first trains the CSI generation model and the CSI recovery model, and then sends the data set and / or other auxiliary information for training the CSI generation model to the terminal side.

[0114] UE-first training: The terminal side first trains the CSI generation model and the CSI recovery model, and then sends the dataset and / or other auxiliary information for training the CSI recovery model to the network side.

[0115] After training using the aforementioned method, the resulting CSI generation model and CSI recovery model are generated, or these two models are referred to as a model pair. The model IDs (identification), function IDs, and model pair IDs enable lifecycle management of these models, such as which model IDs are activated, deactivated, or updated.

[0116] In some embodiments, the model lifecycle management process can also include model performance monitoring. Indicators for monitoring the performance of AI / ML models may include at least one of the following:

[0117] Intermediate Key Performance Indicator (KPI), such as Square Generalized Cosine Similarity (SGCS), etc.

[0118] Final KPIs, such as throughput, block error rate (BLER), assumed BLER, or negative acknowledgement (NACK) or acknowledgement (ACK) messages;

[0119] Comparison with traditional CSI feedback reporting;

[0120] The input or output data distribution of the AI / ML model, such as the data drift changes between training data and observation data.

[0121] Optionally, conventional CSI feedback reporting includes CSI measurement and reporting based on a Type I or Type II codebook, and the codebook type or codebook parameters are configured by the NW to the UE.

[0122] To improve system performance, the UE or gNB must monitor not only the performance of active or active models but also inactive models or model pairs. This allows them to activate an appropriate model for compressed CSI feedback when needed. When monitoring multiple inactive models, the following considerations apply.

[0123] Problem 1: When a UE or gNB monitors an inactive model, executing inference on multiple inactive models, storing inference results, and calculating KPIs simultaneously will consume more UE or gNB power or memory space.

[0124] Question 2: When monitoring the inactive model entry and exit performance, if the UE performs inactive model monitoring, it is necessary to consider the UE's ability to run multiple model reasoning simultaneously and whether it can support simultaneous reasoning of more models.

[0125] Problem 3: Activating and monitoring performance calculations for multiple models simultaneously will require more processing time, power, or signaling overhead.

[0126] The model monitoring method and device provided by the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0769] The following is an exemplary introduction to the methods described in the above embodiments.

[0770] In some embodiments, M inactive model pairs may be monitored by one entity.

[0771] In some embodiments, the entity is a third-party server, such as a terminal OTT server.

[0772] Optionally, monitoring of inactive models via a terminal server includes:

[0773] 1. The network sends signaling to the terminal, instructing the terminal to monitor specified or all inactive model pairs. The signaling includes at least one or more of the following information: monitoring model indication information, the ID of the model to be activated, a threshold for determining the model monitoring result, and a reporting format for the monitoring result. The monitoring result may be in the form of the performance of the monitoring model or a calculated monitoring result value, such as an intermediate KPI or final KPI value.

[0774] 2. The terminal sends the channel information measured based on the downlink pilot and / or the information contained in the signaling sent by the network to the terminal server. The monitoring results of each model pair are determined by the terminal server and sent to the terminal by the terminal server.

[0775] 3. The terminal then sends the monitoring results to the network in a periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic or event-triggered manner. The monitoring results may refer to the monitoring results of the network-specified or all non-activated models, or may be the monitoring results of some models in the network-specified or all non-activated models. When only reporting the monitoring results of some models, the indication information of these models, such as the model ID, also needs to be sent to the network.

[0776] Optionally, the monitoring of non-activated models by the network server includes:

[0777] 1. The network sends a signaling to the terminal to instruct the terminal to send the channel information based on the downlink pilot measurement to the network.

[0778] 2. The network sends the measured channel information to the network server, and the monitoring results of each model pair are determined by the network server. Then the network server sends the monitoring results to the network.

[0779] In some embodiments, the entity is the terminal, and the monitoring of non-activated models by the terminal includes:

[0780] The terminal determines the monitoring results of each model pair based on the channel information measured from the downlink pilot and sends the monitoring results to the network.

[0781] In some embodiments, the entity is the network, and the monitoring of non-activated models by the network includes:

[0782] 1. The network sends a signaling to the terminal to instruct the terminal to send the channel state information determined based on the downlink pilot measurement to the network.

[0783] 2. The network determines the monitoring results of each model pair according to the received channel information.

[0784] In some embodiments, both the terminal and the network entities jointly monitor M model pairs, where the non-activated CSI generation partial models are respectively deployed at the terminal and the non-activated CSI recovery partial models are deployed at the network.

[0785] Optionally, the results of monitoring non-activated model pairs on the network side include:

[0786] 1. The network instructs, through signaling, to activate only 1 or 1 < K non-activated model pairs, where the value of K is determined according to the maximum number of models allowed to run simultaneously reported by the UE and the number of models currently running. This signaling contains the model ID or function ID information of the model pairs to be activated, or other indication information indicating which model pairs need to be activated. The network sends M signaling to the terminal or signaling to instruct to activate M model pairs. Alternatively, the terminal sends a signaling to the network to request to activate 1 or 1 < K non-activated model pairs. Optionally, the network instructs the UE to activate all non-activated model pairs through one signaling.

[0787] 2. The terminal determines the model to be activated (i.e., the CSI generation partial model on the terminal side) according to the received signaling, and sends the input information and output information of the activated model to the network. The activated model at least includes one or K models determined after activation of the original non-activated models indicated in the signaling sent by the network to the terminal. If the input information of each activated model is the same, only the input information of one model is reported.

[0788] 3. The network determines the monitoring results of M pairs of original non-activated models according to the input information and output information of the activated model described in 2 above.

[0789] Optionally, the results of monitoring the non-activated model pairs on the terminal side include:

[0790] 1. The network indicates by signaling to activate only one or 1 < K non-activated model pairs, or the terminal sends a signaling request to the network to activate a specified one or 1 < K non-activated model pairs.

[0791] 2. The terminal sends the output information of the CSI generation model in the activated one or 1 < K model pairs to the network. The network uses the received output information as the input information of the CSI recovery model in the activated one or 1 < K model pairs, and can obtain the output information of the corresponding CSI recovery partial model. Finally, the network sends the output information of the CSI recovery partial model to the terminal. Alternatively, the network sends it to the terminal through beamforming CSI-RS.

[0792] 3. The terminal determines the results of M non-activated model pairs according to the output information of the CSI recovery partial model received from the network or the received beamforming CSI-RS.

[0793] 4. The terminal then sends the monitoring results to the network in a periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic or event-triggered manner. The monitoring results can refer to the monitoring results of all the non-activated models of the network, or the monitoring results of some models among the candidate non-activated models of the network. When only reporting the monitoring results of some models, the indication information of these models, such as the model ID, also needs to be sent to the network.

[0794] In some embodiments, in addition to monitoring the above M pairs of unactivated models, it can also be to only monitor N < M pairs of non-activated models among the M models to reduce the processing complexity or signaling overhead of the terminal. These N model pairs can be indicated to the terminal by signaling sent by the network, or the UE sends a signaling request to activate and then monitor the specified N < M model pairs among the M non-activated CSI generation partial models and CSI recovery partial models.

[0795] In some embodiments, the network sends a signal to the terminal in a manner including one or more combinations of RRC, MAC-CE, or DCI signaling. The terminal sends a signaling request to the network in a manner including at least one of periodic, semi-continuous, aperiodic, or event-triggered.

[0796] In order to more clearly understand the above solution, several exemplary embodiments are provided below.

[0797] Example 1 (one-side (terminal server) monitoring inactive model):

[0798] Assume that the terminal's OTT server has trained multiple CSI generation and recovery models using model training method 1, and M of these model pairs are inactive. Figure 5A illustrates the workflow for monitoring inactive models on a single side.

[0799] The specific steps include at least one of the following:

[0800] Step 1: The gNB sends RRC or DCI signaling to the UE to indicate that it is monitoring an inactive model or model pair.

[0801] The signaling may include at least one of the following information:

[0802] Model ID to be activated: This field may include the ID of the model to be activated if monitoring is indicated for only some inactive models, or if models are managed based on model ID. If all models are to be monitored, this ID information may not be included in the signaling. Alternatively, if models are managed based on function ID, the ID of the function to be activated may be included in the signaling.

[0803] Thresholds for determining model monitoring results: If the monitored performance indicator is an intermediate KPI, such as SGCS, the gNB can configure the SGCS threshold to the UE via RRC signaling. The UE sends this threshold to the OTT server for use in calculating the monitoring model results.

[0804] Monitoring results are reported in the following formats: 1) The performance of the monitored model is reported as good or bad. If the monitored model meets the performance requirements, or if it exceeds the threshold, the model is considered good; otherwise, it is considered bad. 2) The calculated monitoring result value, such as a calculated SGCS index of 0.8.

[0805] In addition, the gNB also sends downlink pilot signals such as CSI-RS to the UE for downlink channel estimation.

[0806] Step 2: The UE determines which models to monitor based on the information contained in the received command. The downlink channel information is estimated based on the received pilot signal. The channel state information (CSI) in Figure 5A can be the estimated original channel information or the eigenvector information determined by performing singular value decomposition on the channel information. The UE then sends all or part of the information contained in the received command information, as well as the determined channel state information, to the OTT server.

[0807] Step 3: The OTT server calculates the performance of the inactive models to be monitored based on the information indicated in the received signaling and the CSI, and sends the monitoring results to the UE. Optionally, if the OTT server only sends models with good performance to the UE, it also needs to send information indicating these models with good performance to the UE.

[0808] Step 4: The UE sends the monitoring results and / or indication information sent by the OTT server to the gNB.

[0809] Step 5: The gNB determines the management of the model based on the received monitoring results and / or indication information, such as whether to perform model switching, that is, deactivate the original model and activate a new model, or perform fallback operation, that is, implement CSI feedback based on the traditional non-AI model.

[0810] Step 6: The gNB sends a signaling instruction regarding model management operations to the UE. Based on this instruction, the UE determines the model operation to be performed, such as deactivating the current model and activating a new one, or performing traditional non-AI CSI feedback. Alternatively, if the gNB retains the current model and does not perform other model management operations, step 6 is not required.

[0811] Example 2 (double-side monitoring of inactive models, and monitoring of results of inactive model pairs by the terminal side):

[0812] Assuming that M inactive models or model pairs are deployed on the UE side, FIG5B shows the workflow of monitoring inactive models based on two-way interaction.

[0813] The specific steps include at least one of the following:

[0814] Step 1: The gNB instructs the UE to activate one of the M inactive models via RRC or DCI signaling. The instruction includes the model ID. In addition, the gNB sends the downlink CSI-RS to the UE.

[0815] Step 2: The UE activates the corresponding model according to the indicated signaling. For example, the CSI generation model with model ID 2 is activated. The UE then estimates downlink channel information based on the received CSI-RS and determines the CSI as the input information of the activated model. After inference using this CSI generation model, the model output information Out1 is obtained and quantized, Out1 is reported to the gNB.

[0816] Step 3: The gNB uses received Out1 as input to the gNB-side CSI recovery model with model ID 2. The CSI recovery model then infers the corresponding output information Out2. The gNB sends a beamformed CSI-RS to the UE, with the CSI-RS beam determined based on Out2. Optionally, the gNB sends Out2 directly to the UE.

[0817] Step 4: The UE estimates the downlink effective channel information based on the received beamformed CSI-RS. It then calculates the monitoring results of the model based on the estimated effective channel information, such as the throughput or SINR corresponding to the model, and reports the results to the gNB.

[0818] Steps 5 and 6 are similar to those in Example 1 and are not described again here.

[0819] It should be noted that the above steps assume that only one model is activated in one signaling process. If M>1 models are to be monitored, the monitoring of M inactivated models can be completed through multiple signalings and the above steps.

[0820] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

In addition, 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), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc.
