[0056] The following, in combination with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the information sending method, information receiving method, apparatus and related equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for sending information provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2 , the method for sending information includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 101: The terminal sends target information to the network side device;

[0059] The target information includes at least one of the following:

[0060] first information, where the first information is used to indicate a first pattern, where the first pattern is a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern associated with a model input of a target model, where the target model is used by the terminal to perform model inference;

[0061] Second information, the second information is used to indicate the terminal's reporting capability for a first result, where the first result is an inference result of the model inference.

[0062] The first information may be used to indicate the first pattern supported by the terminal.

[0063] In addition, the model reasoning may be to use the target model to reason out a reasoning result for reporting by the terminal.

[0064] In which, the first information may include: at least one first set information, the first set information is used to indicate a first pattern of at least one time unit; or, the first information may include: at least one first set information, and a target data set identifier; the target data set identifier is associated with at least one beam, and the beam corresponding to the first pattern indicated by the first set information is determined based on the target data set identifier; or, the target data set identifier is associated with at least one measurement resource, and the measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern indicated by the first set information is determined based on the target data set identifier.

[0065] Taking the example that the first information includes multiple first set information, the first information can include first set information 1, first set information 2, and first set information 3. For example, the first pattern indicated by the first set information 1 is: (P1, P2, P3, P4); the first pattern indicated by the first set information 2 is: (P3, P4, P1, P2,); the first pattern indicated by the first set information 3 is: (P2, P3, P4, P1,); then the first pattern indicated by the first information is {(P1, P2, P3, P4), (P3, P4, P1, P2,), (P2, P3, P4, P1,)}.

[0066] In one embodiment, the first information may include: at least one first set of information. The first set of information includes at least one of the following: at least one second set of information; first indication information indicating the number of second set of information included in the first set of information; second indication information indicating the ordering relationship of first patterns associated with the second set of information included in the first set of information; wherein the second set of information indicates the first pattern of a time unit. For example, the first set of information includes four second set of information, and the four second set of information respectively indicate the first patterns P1, P2, P3, and P4.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first pattern may be a transmit beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern associated with a model input of the target model. The terminal sends first information to a network device, and the network device may determine a transmit beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern for model inference based on the first information.

[0068] In one embodiment, the terminal's ability to report the first result can be represented by a time unit during which the terminal can report the first result. The terminal sends second information to the network device, the second information being used to indicate the time unit during which the terminal can report the first result.

[0069] It should be noted that the target model can be an AI model. The AI ​​model described in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as an AI unit, a machine learning (ML) model, an ML unit, an AI structure, an AI function, an AI feature, a machine learning model, a neural network, a neural network function, a neural network function, etc.; or the AI ​​model may also refer to a processing unit that can implement specific algorithms, formulas, processing procedures, capabilities, etc. related to AI; or the AI ​​model may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module or unit for a specific data set; or the AI ​​model may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module or unit running on AI or ML related hardware such as a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural network processor (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC); the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this. Optionally, the specific data set includes the input or output of the AI ​​model. In addition, the identifier of the 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 ​​model; or an identifier of a specific scenario, environment, channel feature, or device related to the AI ​​or ML; or an identifier of a function, feature, capability, or module related to the AI ​​or ML. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0070] In mobile communication systems, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being incorporated into use cases. For example, at the physical layer, AI-based channel state information (CSI) feedback compression, AI-based beam management, and AI-based positioning are being explored. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) RAN3 has discussed AI-based energy conservation and load balancing. In the future, more AI-integrated use cases will emerge in mobile communication systems.

[0071] In AI-based beam management, if time-domain prediction is used, the model input is the measured historical beam quality of all or part of the beam, and the model output is the strongest beam identifier or the beam quality of all beams. Assuming the terminal performs model training, during the training phase, the base station configures measurement resources corresponding to all transmit beams. The terminal measures and obtains the beam quality of all transmit beams at each time unit. For a training sample, the selection of beams as model input depends on the terminal implementation.

[0072] Based on the above analysis, the beam pattern corresponding to the beam quality used for model input during the training phase is determined by the terminal itself. Assuming that the model input includes the beam quality of four time units (TUs), different TUs use different transmit beam patterns.

[0073] For the first inference, the four time units corresponding to the model input are TU1, TU2, TU3, and TU4; the four time units corresponding to the model output are TU5, TU6, TU7, and TU8. The pattern used for model input is P1, P2, P3, and P4.

[0074] The second model inference has at least the following two situations:

[0075] 1) The four time units corresponding to the model input are TU5, TU6, TU7, and TU8; the four time units corresponding to the model output are TU9, TU10, TU11, and TU12. The pattern used for model input is P1, P2, P3, and P4, the same pattern used for the first inference.

[0076] 2) The four time units corresponding to the model input are TU2, TU3, TU4, and TU5; the four time units corresponding to the model output are TU6, TU7, TU8, and TU9. The pattern used for model input is P2, P3, P4, and P1, which is different from the pattern used for the first inference.

[0077] Based on the above analysis, there are two problems:

[0078] Question 1: How does the terminal notify the base station of the supported transmit beam patterns during model inference?

[0079] Question 2: Different continuous reasoning methods represent different UE capabilities. If it is the first continuous reasoning method (using the same order pattern for multiple reasoning), it means that the generalization ability of the UE-side model is weak, and the model can only be reasoned and reported in a limited number of locations. If it is the second continuous reasoning method (using different order patterns for multiple reasoning), it means that the UE has better generalization ability and can perform beam prediction on consecutive TUs and report the reasoning results.

[0080] In related technologies, when a UE performs model inference, it reports model inference-related information to the network during model registration. This includes usage conditions (network configuration information, network assistance information), input and output format information, etc. Because this model registration is targeted at various AI use cases, it is a general model registration and cannot address issues 1 and 2 faced in the specific scenario of continuous time-domain inference for AI beam management.

[0081] In response to questions 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a model registration method for a time-domain continuous reasoning scenario, which is used to indicate to a network-side device the beam pattern required for model reasoning and the generalization capability of the model. By sending first information to the network-side device via the terminal, the network-side device can be notified of the beam pattern or measurement resource pattern associated with the model input of the target model; by sending second information to the network-side device via the terminal, the network-side device can be notified of the terminal's ability to report the inference results of model reasoning. The network-side device can determine the continuous reasoning mode supported by the terminal based on the reporting capability of the inference results of model reasoning reported by the terminal.

[0082] It should be noted that the network-side device can configure the terminal for model reasoning based on the target information. The network-side device can configure a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern for the terminal based on the first information sent by the terminal, so that when the network-side device configures beam measurement for the terminal, it can configure the beam pattern or measurement resource pattern required for the terminal model reasoning, thereby improving the effect of the terminal performing model reasoning; or, the network-side device can configure the reporting time of the inference result of the model reasoning for the terminal based on the second information sent by the terminal, so that when the network-side device configures the inference reporting time for the terminal, it can consider the terminal's capabilities for configuration, thereby improving the effect of the terminal performing model reasoning.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal sends target information to the network side device; wherein the target information includes at least one of the following: first information, the first information is used to indicate a first pattern, the first pattern is a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern associated with a model input of a target model, and the target model is used by the terminal to perform model reasoning; second information, the second information is used to indicate the terminal's reporting capability for a first result, and the first result is an inference result of the model reasoning. In this way, the terminal sends the first information or the second information to the network side device, and the network side device can configure a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern for the terminal based on the first pattern indicated by the first information, or the network side device can configure a reporting time for reporting the inference result for the terminal based on the reporting capability of the terminal for the first result indicated by the second information, so that when the network side device configures the terminal for model reasoning for AI beam management, the configuration performed for the terminal can meet the terminal's expectations or meet the terminal's capabilities, and can improve the effect of the terminal performing model reasoning.

[0087] In addition, the first pattern of the at least one time unit may be a first pattern of at least one transmission occasion for transmitting the beam.

[0088] In addition, the first information may only include at least one first set information; or, the first information may include: a target data set identifier and at least one first set information; the target data set identifier is associated with at least one beam, and the beam corresponding to the first pattern indicated by the first set information is determined based on the target data set identifier; or, the target data set identifier is associated with at least one measurement resource, and the measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern indicated by the first set information is determined based on the target data set identifier.

[0089] It should be noted that the first information may include only at least one first set information, and the beam corresponding to the first pattern indicated by the first set information is determined based on the target data set identifier, or the measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern indicated by the first set information is determined based on the target data set identifier. The target data set identifier may be pre-configured to the terminal by the network side device, or may be agreed upon by the network side device and the terminal.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first information includes at least one first set information, and the network side device can configure a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern for the terminal based on the first pattern indicated by the at least one first set information, so that when the network side device configures the terminal for model inference for AI beam management, the configuration performed for the terminal can meet the terminal's expectations and can improve the effect of the terminal's model inference.

[0091] Optionally, the first information further includes:

For example, the second indication information may indicate the starting position of the first pattern. Taking the reference pattern (P1, P2, P3, P4) as an example, the second indication information may be 0001, indicating that the ordering relationship of the first patterns associated with the second set information included in the first set information is: P4, P1, P2, P3.

[0115] The fifth indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods; wherein, when the terminal supports a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods, it represents that the terminal supports model reasoning based on the measurement result of the first resource and reports the first result, and the first resource is the measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern associated with the first set information under multiple sorting relationships.

[0116] The sixth indication information is used to indicate the ordering relationship of the first patterns supported by the terminal in different time unit periods.

[0117] The fifth indication information may be 1-bit indication information. The number of time units included in a time unit period may be the number of time units corresponding to the beam quality input by the terminal for a model inference; or, the number of time units included in a time unit period may be determined based on the number of second set information included in the first set information. The number of time units included in a time unit period may be the same as the number of second set information included in the first set information; or, the number of time units included in a time unit period may be an integer multiple of the number of second set information included in the first set information. In the case where the number of time units included in a time unit period is determined based on the number of second set information included in the first set information, the number of time units included in a time unit period may be less than the number of time units corresponding to the beam quality input by the terminal for a model inference. For example, the beam pattern input by the terminal for a model inference is: P1, P2, P1, P2, and the second set information included in the first set information is: P1, P2. Then, the number of time units included in a time unit period may be 2 or 4.

[0118] In one embodiment, the fifth indication information indicates that the terminal does not support first patterns with different ordering relationships in different time unit periods, and the fifth indication information indicates that the terminal only supports first patterns with the same ordering relationship in different time unit periods. For example, the fifth indication information takes a value of 0, indicating that the terminal only supports first patterns with the same ordering relationship in different time unit periods. Taking the first pattern indicated by the first set information as (P1, P2, P3, P4) as an example, the terminal is instructed to only support first patterns in the order of (P1, P2, P3, P4).

[0119] In one embodiment, the fifth indication information indicates that the terminal supports first patterns with different ordering relationships in different time unit periods. For example, the fifth indication information takes a value of 1, indicating that the terminal supports first patterns with different ordering relationships in different time unit periods, and that the terminal supports patterns with all ordering relationships of the first patterns indicated by the first set information. For example, if the first pattern indicated by the first set information is (P1, P2, P3), the terminal supports first patterns in the order of (P1, P2, P3), (P2, P3, P1), and (P3, P2, P1).

[0120] In this embodiment, the second information includes at least one of the following: fifth indication information, the fifth indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods; sixth indication information, the sixth indication information is used to indicate the sorting relationship of the first pattern in different time unit periods supported by the terminal. In this way, the network side device can determine the terminal's reporting capability for the first result based on the fifth indication information or the sixth indication information, and configure the reporting time for the terminal to report the inference result, so that when the network side device configures the terminal for model inference for AI beam management, the configuration performed for the terminal can be consistent with the terminal's capabilities and can improve the effect of the terminal's model inference.

[0121] Optionally, the sixth indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0122] Indication information of a first first pattern in a sequence relationship of first patterns at different time unit periods supported by the terminal;

[0123] Indication information of the last first pattern in the ordering relationship of first patterns at different time unit periods supported by the terminal;

[0124] The terminal may report indication information of a first pattern corresponding to the time unit of the first result.

[0125] In one embodiment, the sixth indication information includes indication information of the first first pattern in the sorting relationship of the first patterns supported by the terminal in different time unit periods. Taking the sixth indication information as 1010 and the first pattern indicated by the first set information as (P1, P2, P3, P4) as an example, since the positions of P1 and P3 are set to 1, it means that the first first pattern in the sorting relationship of the supportable first patterns includes P1 and P3. According to the sorting order of each pattern in the first set information, the sixth indication information represents that the sorting relationship of the two first patterns P1, P2, P3, P4 and P3, P4, P1, P2 can be supported.

[0126] In one embodiment, the sixth indication information includes indication information of the last first pattern in the sorting relationship of first patterns in different time unit periods supported by the terminal. Taking the sixth indication information as 1010 and the first pattern indicated by the first set information as (P1, P2, P3, P4) as an example, since the positions of P1 and P3 are set to 1, it indicates that the last first pattern in the sorting relationship of the supported first patterns includes P1 and P3. According to the sorting order of each pattern in the first set information, the sixth indication information indicates that the sorting relationships of the two first patterns of P2, P3, P4, P1 and P4, P1, P2, P3 can be supported.

[0127] In one embodiment, the sixth indication information includes indication information of the first pattern corresponding to the time unit in which the terminal can report the first result. For example, if the sixth indication information is 1010 and the first pattern indicated by the first set information is (P1, P2, P3, P4), since the positions of P1 and P3 are set to 1, it indicates that the positions of the first pattern that can support reporting the inference result include P1 and P3. Since the terminal performs inference and reports the inference result after measuring the last first pattern, the sixth indication information indicates that the last first pattern in the order relationship of the supported first patterns includes P1 and P3. According to the order relationship of the patterns in the first set information, it can be inferred that the order relationships of the supported first patterns are P2, P3, P4, P1 and P4, P1, P2, P3.

[0128] Optionally, the fifth indication information is 1-bit indication information; or,

[0129] In the case that the first information includes at least one first set information and the first set information includes at least one second set information, the proportion of the sixth indication information is the same as the number of the second set information included in the first set information.

[0130] Optionally, the second information is carried in at least one of the following:

[0131] Measurement restriction (MR) configuration request; Repetition configuration request.

[0132] In one embodiment, the fifth indication information may be a Measurement restriction on (ON) / off (OFF) indication in the MR configuration request. For example, MR ON indicates that the terminal supports a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods, and MR OFF indicates that the terminal does not support a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods.

[0133] In one embodiment, the fifth indication information may be a Repetition ON / OFF indication in a reconfiguration request. For example, Repetition ON indicates that the terminal supports a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods, and Repetition OFF indicates that the terminal does not support a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods.

[0134] Optionally, the terminal receives a target configuration sent by the network-side device, where the target configuration is used to indicate a second pattern or a reporting time, where the second pattern is a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern, and the reporting time is a reporting time of the inference result;

[0135] The terminal performs model inference or reports inference results based on the target configuration.

[0136] The target configuration may include at least one fourth set information, and the fourth set information is used to indicate a second pattern of at least one time unit; or, the target configuration may include at least one fourth set information and a data set identifier; wherein the data set identifier is associated with at least one beam, and the beam corresponding to the second pattern indicated by the fourth set information is determined based on the data set identifier; or, the data set identifier is associated with at least one measurement resource, and the measurement resource corresponding to the second pattern indicated by the fourth set information is determined based on the data set identifier.

[0137] In addition, the fourth set information may include at least one of the following items: at least one fifth set information; seventh indication information, used to indicate the number of fifth set information included in the fourth set information; eighth indication information, used to indicate the sorting relationship of the second patterns associated with the fifth set information included in the fourth set information; wherein, the fifth set information is used to indicate the second pattern of a time unit. It should be noted that the specific form of the fourth set information is similar to that of the first set information. For details, please refer to the description of the first set information and will not be repeated here. The specific form of the fifth set information is similar to that of the second set information. For details, please refer to the description of the second set information and will not be repeated here.

[0138] The reporting time can be represented by a time unit corresponding to the second pattern. For example, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is: (P1, P2, P3). The network-side device can configure the terminal to report in each time unit, that is, to report after measuring P1, P2, or P3; or the network-side device can configure the terminal to report in a certain time unit, for example, the network-side device can configure the terminal to report after measuring P1.

[0139] In addition, the target configuration may be determined by the network side device based on the target information. The second pattern indicated by the target configuration may be determined based on the first pattern indicated by the first information. For example, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration may be the same as the first pattern indicated by the first information; or, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration may include the first pattern indicated by the first information; or, the first pattern indicated by the first information may include the second pattern indicated by the target configuration; and so on. This embodiment does not limit this. The reporting time of the target configuration indication may be determined based on the second information. The reporting time of the target configuration indication may match the reporting capability indicated by the second information. For example, the second information indicates that the terminal can report on each time unit corresponding to the first pattern, and the reporting time of the target configuration indication may be each time unit corresponding to the second pattern; or the second information indicates that the terminal can report on a certain time unit corresponding to the first pattern, and the reporting time of the target configuration indication may be the certain time unit.

[0140] In this embodiment, the terminal receives a target configuration sent by the network device, the target configuration indicating a second pattern or reporting time, the second pattern being a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern, and the reporting time being the reporting time of the inference result; the terminal performs model inference or reports the inference result based on the target configuration. In this way, the terminal performs model inference based on the second pattern indicated by the network device, or reports the inference result based on the reporting time indicated by the network device, thereby improving the effectiveness of the terminal's model inference and inference result reporting.

[0141] Optionally, the terminal performs model inference or reports inference results based on the target configuration, including:

[0142] When the second pattern indicated by the target configuration matches the first pattern supported by the terminal, the terminal performs model inference based on the second pattern indicated by the target configuration to obtain an inference result; and the terminal reports the inference result based on the reporting time indicated by the target configuration;

[0143] The method further comprises:

[0144] If the second pattern indicated by the target configuration does not match the first pattern supported by the terminal, the terminal performs any one of the following:

[0145] The terminal does not perform model reasoning;

[0146] The terminal does not report the reasoning result;

[0147] The terminal does not update the reported inference results;

[0148] The terminal performs model reasoning after measuring the last measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern to obtain a reasoning result; and reports the reasoning result in a time unit closest to a target time in the reporting time indicated by the target configuration, where the target time is the time for generating reporting information based on the reasoning result.

[0149] The second pattern indicated by the target configuration matches the first pattern supported by the terminal, which may mean that the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is exactly the same as the first pattern supported by the terminal. For example, if the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is (P1, P2, P3) and the first pattern supported by the terminal is (P1, P2, P3), then the second pattern indicated by the target configuration matches the first pattern supported by the terminal.

[0150] In addition, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration does not match the first pattern supported by the terminal, which may mean that the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is not completely identical to the first pattern supported by the terminal. For example, if the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is (P1, P2, P3) and the first pattern supported by the terminal is (P1, P2), then the second pattern indicated by the target configuration does not match the first pattern supported by the terminal.

[0151] In one embodiment, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration does not match the first pattern supported by the terminal. This may include that the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is not completely identical to the first pattern supported by the terminal, and the first pattern supported by the terminal is partially identical to the second pattern indicated by the target configuration, where the partially identical pattern means that the patterns are partially identical and the order of the patterns is the same. For example, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is (P1, P2, P3), and the first pattern supported by the terminal is (P1, P2). If the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is not completely identical to the first pattern supported by the terminal, and the first pattern supported by the terminal is partially identical to the second pattern indicated by the target configuration, the terminal may perform model inference after measuring the last measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern to obtain an inference result; and report the inference result in the time unit closest to the target time within the reporting time indicated by the target configuration, where the target time is the time when reporting information is generated based on the inference result. Because the first pattern supported by the terminal is partially identical to the second pattern indicated by the target configuration, the terminal can still perform model inference without significantly negatively affecting the inference result.

[0152] In one embodiment, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration does not match the first pattern supported by the terminal, which may include that the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is not completely identical to the first pattern supported by the terminal, and the first pattern supported by the terminal does not have any partial similarity with the second pattern indicated by the target configuration. For example, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is: (P1, P2, P3), and the first pattern supported by the terminal is: (P2, P1). In the case that the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is not completely identical to the first pattern supported by the terminal, and the first pattern supported by the terminal does not have any partial similarity with the second pattern indicated by the target configuration, the terminal may perform any one of the following: the terminal does not perform model inference; the terminal does not report the inference result; the terminal does not update the reported inference result.

[0153] In addition, generating reporting information based on the inference result may refer to the time when a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is generated based on the inference result after obtaining the inference result, that is, the time when an uplink physical channel is generated.

[0154] In addition, the terminal not updating the reported inference result may mean that the terminal reports an unupdated inference result. For example, the terminal may report the inference result reported last time, or report a default inference result.

[0155] Taking the inference result as a beam as an example, the terminal not updating the inference result reporting may mean that the terminal does not update the beam reporting; the terminal not reporting the inference result may mean that the terminal does not report the beam; reporting the inference result may mean that the terminal updates the beam reporting.

[0156] In this embodiment, when the second pattern indicated by the target configuration matches the first pattern supported by the terminal, the terminal performs model inference based on the second pattern indicated by the target configuration, and reports the inference result based on the reporting time indicated by the target configuration; when the second pattern indicated by the target configuration does not match the first pattern supported by the terminal, the terminal performs any one of the following: the terminal does not perform model inference; the terminal does not report the inference result; the terminal does not update the reported inference result; the terminal performs model inference after measuring the last measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern to obtain an inference result; and reports the inference result in the time unit closest to the target time within the reporting time indicated by the target configuration, where the target time is the time when reporting information is generated based on the inference result. Thus, the terminal can perform model inference and report the inference result based on the second pattern and reporting time indicated by the network-side device.

[0157] The present invention also provides a method for receiving information, which includes:

[0158] The terminal receives a target configuration sent by the network-side device, where the target configuration is used to indicate a second pattern or a reporting time, where the second pattern is a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern, and the reporting time is a reporting time of the inference result;

[0159] The terminal performs model inference or reports inference results based on the target configuration.

[0160] The target configuration may include at least one fourth set information, and the fourth set information is used to indicate a second pattern of at least one time unit; or, the target configuration may include at least one fourth set information and a data set identifier; wherein the data set identifier is associated with at least one beam, and the beam corresponding to the second pattern indicated by the fourth set information is determined based on the data set identifier; or, the data set identifier is associated with at least one measurement resource, and the measurement resource corresponding to the second pattern indicated by the fourth set information is determined based on the data set identifier.

[0161] In addition, the fourth set information may include at least one of the following items: at least one fifth set information; seventh indication information, used to indicate the number of fifth set information included in the fourth set information; eighth indication information, used to indicate the sorting relationship of the second patterns associated with the fifth set information included in the fourth set information; wherein, the fifth set information is used to indicate the second pattern of a time unit. It should be noted that the specific form of the fourth set information is similar to that of the first set information. For details, please refer to the description of the first set information and will not be repeated here. The specific form of the fifth set information is similar to that of the second set information. For details, please refer to the description of the second set information and will not be repeated here.

[0162] The reporting time can be represented by a time unit corresponding to the second pattern. For example, the second pattern indicated by the target configuration is: (P1, P2, P3). The network-side device can configure the terminal to report in each time unit, that is, to report after measuring P1, P2, or P3; or the network-side device can configure the terminal to report in a certain time unit, for example, the network-side device can configure the terminal to report after measuring P1.

[0163] In this embodiment, the terminal receives a target configuration sent by the network device, the target configuration indicating a second pattern or reporting time, the second pattern being a beam pattern or a measurement resource pattern, and the reporting time being the reporting time of the inference result. The terminal then performs model inference or reports the inference result based on the target configuration. In this way, the terminal performs model inference based on the second pattern indicated by the network device, or reports the inference result based on the reporting time indicated by the network device, thereby improving the effectiveness of the terminal's model inference and inference result reporting.

[0164] Optionally, the terminal performs model inference or reports inference results based on the target configuration, including:

[0165] When the second pattern indicated by the target configuration matches the first pattern supported by the terminal, the terminal performs model inference based on the second pattern indicated by the target configuration to obtain an inference result; and the terminal reports the inference result based on the reporting time indicated by the target configuration;

[0166] The method further comprises:

[0167] If the second pattern indicated by the target configuration does not match the first pattern supported by the terminal, the terminal performs any one of the following:

[0168] The terminal does not perform model reasoning;

[0169] The terminal does not report the reasoning result;

[0170] The terminal does not update the reported inference results;

[0171] The terminal performs model reasoning after measuring the last measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern to obtain a reasoning result; and reports the reasoning result in a time unit closest to a target time in the reporting time indicated by the target configuration, where the target time is the time for generating reporting information based on the reasoning result.

[0172] It should be noted that, in the implementation of this embodiment, the terminal does not need to report target information.

[0173] The relevant description of the information receiving method of this embodiment is the same as some implementation methods of the method shown in Figure 2. Its specific implementation methods can refer to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in Figure 2. To avoid repetition, this embodiment will not be repeated.

[0198] Optionally, the second information includes at least one of the following:

[0199] The fifth indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods; wherein, when the terminal supports a first pattern with different sorting relationships in different time unit periods, it represents that the terminal supports model reasoning based on the measurement result of the first resource and reports the first result, and the first resource is the measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern associated with the first set information under multiple sorting relationships.

[0211] Optionally, before the network-side device sends the target configuration to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0212] The network-side device determines the target configuration based on the target information.

[0213] It should be noted that this embodiment is an implementation of the network side device corresponding to the embodiment shown in Figure 2. Its specific implementation can refer to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in Figure 2. To avoid repetition, this embodiment will not be repeated.

[0214] The following describes the information reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present application through several specific examples:

[0215] Example 1:

[0216] This embodiment enables the terminal to notify the base station of the transmit beam patterns it supports during model inference by reporting the data set ID and setB pattern indication. The setB pattern of one occasion corresponds to the first pattern of the second set, and the setB patterns of multiple occasions correspond to the first pattern of the first set.

[0217] The terminal sends first information to a network device, and the network device determines a transmit beam pattern for model inference based on the first information. The first information includes a data set identifier and first set information. The first set information indicates a transmit beam pattern for indicating different time units of model input.

[0218] Optionally, during model training, the terminal records the dataset identifier of the dataset used for training.

[0219] The dataset identifier can indirectly represent the beam pointing of all setA.

[0220] Optionally, the first set information includes at least one of the following:

[0221] a transmit beam pattern indication associated with at least one set of second set information;

[0222] an indication of a sequence of transmit beam patterns associated with at least one set of second set information;

[0223] an indication of the number of transmit beam patterns associated with at least one set of second set information;

[0224] The second set information is used to indicate the transmission beam pattern of the model input in a single time unit.

[0225] Optionally, each beam in the transmit beam pattern associated with the second set information may be represented by a relationship with a data set identifier. The specific indication manner may be at least one of the following:

[0226] Indicates a beam associated with the dataset identifier;

[0227] Indicates a measurement resource or reference signal resource associated with the dataset identifier;

[0228] Among them, when the terminal is training the model, the beam used by the training data set; or the reference signal resource used by the training data set.

[0229] Example 2:

[0230] In this embodiment, the terminal indicates to the network side device that the reportable TU period is 1 or N to realize the generalization capability of reporting the UE side model.

[0231] The terminal sends first information and second information to a network device, and the network device determines a transmit beam pattern for model inference based on the first information. The first information includes first set information, or the first information includes a data set identifier and the first set information. The first set information indicates a transmit beam pattern for indicating different time units of model input. The second information is used to indicate a TU for which an inference result can be reported.

[0232] The first set information includes at least one set of second set information, the number N of which is included. When N>1, the second information includes fifth indication information, and the 1-bit fifth indication information can be used to indicate whether second set information of different orders is supported. For example, if the fifth indication information is 0, it means that only the pattern order indicated by the first set information can be supported, then only model inference can be performed with N as the cycle, and the inference results can be reported; if the fifth indication information is 1, it means that different orders of multiple groups of patterns identified by different first set information can be supported, that is, model inference can be performed on all TUs, and the inference results can be reported.

[0233] Optionally, the fifth indication information may also be indicated by at least one of the following:

[0234] Measurement restriction ON / OFF indication, for example, MR ON indicates that different orders of multiple groups of patterns identified by different first set information can be supported.

[0235] Repetition ON / OFF indication, for example, Repetition ON indicates that different orders of multiple groups of patterns identified by different first set information can be supported.

[0236] Example 3:

[0237] In this embodiment, the terminal indicates to the network side device the TUs that can report the inference results through a bit map, thereby realizing the generalization capability of reporting the UE side model.

[0238] The terminal sends first information and second information to a network device, and the network device determines a transmit beam pattern for model inference based on the first information. The first information includes first set information, or the first information includes a data set identifier and the first set information. The first set information indicates a transmit beam pattern for indicating different time units of model input. The second information is used to indicate a TU for which an inference result can be reported.

[0239] The first set information includes the number N of multiple sets of second set information. The second information includes sixth indication information. When N>1, the N-bit sixth indication information is used to indicate the start position or end position of the supported pattern, or the pattern position of the reportable inference result.

[0240] For example, when N=4, 1 is used in the sixth indication information to indicate the starting pattern position of the supported pattern sequence. Taking the sixth indication information as 1010 and the first set information including (P1, P2, P3, P4) as an example, since the positions of P1 and P3 are set to 1, it means that the starting pattern positions of the supported pattern sequence include P1 and P3. According to the order of the patterns in the first set information, the sixth indication information indicates that two pattern sequences of P1, P2, P3, P4 and P3, P4, P1, P2 can be supported. Since the terminal performs inference and reports the inference result after measuring the last pattern, the sixth indication information can also indicate that the measurement of the inference input data is completed when the sending beam pattern is P4 or P2, performs model inference based on the measurement result, and then reports the inference result.

[0241] For example: When N=4, 1 is used in the sixth indication information to indicate the pattern position that can support reporting of the inference result. Taking the sixth indication information as 1010 and the first set information including (P1, P2, P3, P4) as an example, since the positions of P1 and P3 are set to 1, it indicates that the pattern positions that can support reporting of the inference result include P1 and P3. Since the terminal performs model inference and reports the inference result after measuring the last pattern, the sixth indication information indicates that the last pattern position that can support the pattern order includes P1 and P3. According to the order of the patterns in the first set information, it can be inferred that the supported pattern orders are P2, P3, P4, P1 and P4, P1, P2, P3.

[0242] Example 4:

[0243] In this embodiment, the terminal indicates to the network side device the TU that can report the inference result by reporting the supported pattern, thereby realizing the generalization capability of reporting the UE side model.

[0244] The terminal sends first information to the network, and the network determines, based on the first information, transmit beam patterns supported by the UE for model inference. The first information includes third set information, or the third set information and a data set identifier. The third set information is used to indicate transmit beam patterns supported for different time units of model input.

[0245] The third set information includes at least one set of first set information.

[0246] Optionally, the first set information includes at least one of the following:

[0247] a transmit beam pattern indication associated with at least one set of second set information;

[0248] an indication of a sequence of transmit beam patterns associated with at least one set of second set information;

[0249] an indication of the number of transmit beam patterns associated with at least one set of second set information;

[0250] The second set information is used to indicate the transmission beam pattern of the model input in a single time unit.

[0251] Optionally, each beam in the transmit beam pattern associated with the second set information may be represented by a relationship with a data set identifier. The specific indication manner may be at least one of the following:

[0252] Indicates a beam associated with the dataset identifier;

[0253] Indicates a measurement resource or reference signal resource associated with the dataset identifier;

[0254] Among them, when the terminal is training the model, the beam used by the training data set; or the reference signal resource used by the training data set.

[0255] By indicating the training data set identifier, multiple sets of setB patterns, and the TU position where the inference results can be reported to the network side during model registration, the network side configures the corresponding transmit beam pattern for the UE when performing continuous inference in the time domain for AI beam prediction, and configures a reasonable reporting time based on the UE capabilities.

[0256] In one embodiment, the first pattern indicated by the second set information is P1, P2, P3, or P4; the first pattern indicated by the first set information is (P1, P2, P3, P4) or (P2, P3, P4, P1); and the first pattern indicated by the third set information is {(P1, P2, P3, P4), (P2, P3, P4, P1)}. The third set information explicitly indicates the first pattern on which the AI ​​model can perform effective inference.

[0257] Embodiment 5:

[0258] In this embodiment, the terminal determines whether to report channel state information (CSI) based on AI reasoning through the pattern sent by the network side.

[0259] In this embodiment, the network side configures beam reporting for the UE in each time unit.

[0260] The network side sends a reporting configuration to the UE, which instructs the UE to report beam updates in each time unit.

[0261] The UE receives the reporting configuration from the network side, determines the second pattern and its order sent by the network side according to the reporting configuration, and decides whether to update the beam reporting and the reporting time unit according to the first pattern and its order supported by the AI ​​model.

[0262] If the UE determines that the first pattern sequence it can support fully or partially matches the second pattern sequence sent by the network side, it performs model inference after measuring the last measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern and reports the beam update.

[0263] For example, the second pattern determined by the UE based on the reporting configuration is (P1, P2, P3); while the first pattern supported by the UE is (P1, P2); the network side configures the UE to report in each time unit, that is, to report after measuring P1, P2, or P3. However, the UE only supports the order of (P1, P2). Therefore, the UE performs a beam reporting update after measuring P2. After measuring P1, no beam reporting or beam update is performed. For P3, because it does not match the pattern, the UE can not perform P3 measurement. After P3, no beam reporting or beam update is performed.

[0264] Example 6:

[0265] In this embodiment, the terminal determines whether to perform CSI reporting based on AI reasoning through the pattern sent by the network side.

[0266] In this embodiment, the network side configures beam reporting for the UE in a certain time unit.

[0267] The network side sends a reporting configuration to the UE, which instructs the UE to report beam updates in certain time units.

[0268] The UE receives the reporting configuration from the network side, determines the second pattern and its order sent by the network side according to the reporting configuration, and decides whether to update the beam reporting and the reporting time unit according to the first pattern and its order supported by the AI ​​model.

[0269] If the UE determines that the first pattern sequence it can support matches all or part of the second pattern sequence sent by the network side, it performs model inference after measuring the last measurement resource corresponding to the first pattern; and reports the beam update at the time unit closest to the reasoning result configured by the network side.

[0270] For example, the second pattern determined by the UE based on the reporting configuration is (P1, P2, P3); the first pattern supported by the UE is (P1, P2). The network configures the UE to report the beam after measuring P3. However, the UE only supports the (P1, P2) order. Therefore, after measuring P2, the UE first stores the inference results and reports the beam update when the uplink reporting resources are available after the measurement resources corresponding to P3 have completed. As for P3, the UE does not match the pattern and can skip the P3 measurement.

[0271] Embodiment seven:

[0272] In this embodiment, the terminal determines whether to perform CSI reporting based on AI reasoning through the pattern sent by the network side.

[0273] The UE receives the reporting configuration from the network side, determines the second pattern and its order sent by the network side according to the reporting configuration, and decides whether to update the beam reporting and the reporting time unit according to the first pattern and its order supported by the AI ​​model.

[0274] For example, the second pattern determined by the UE based on the reporting configuration is (P2, P1, P3); and the first pattern supported by the UE is (P1, P2). In one embodiment, the network side configures the UE to report in each time unit, that is, to report after measuring P1, P2, or P3. In another embodiment, the network side configures the UE to perform beam reporting after measuring P3. In the above two embodiments, the UE only supports the order of (P1, P2), and therefore, beam measurement and beam reporting are not performed.
