Description

Information reporting method, device, terminal and network equipment

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on December 1, 2023, with application number 202311639750.9 and application name “Information Reporting Method, Device, Terminal and Network Equipment,” the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this disclosure. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information reporting method, apparatus, terminal, and network equipment. Background Art

[0003] Wireless communication systems present numerous challenging challenges, such as nonlinearities and the time complexity of computing optimal solutions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in internet-based fields such as image and speech recognition. Currently, various fields are exploring the potential of AI / ML in wireless communication systems. For example, in AI positioning, the AI / ML model directly outputs the UE's location in direct AI / ML positioning, and in AI / ML-assisted positioning, the model outputs intermediate measurements, such as the relative time of arrival (ToA). In these scenarios, the user equipment (UE), gNB, and transmission-reception point (TRP) must report measurements to the Location Management Function (LMF) to determine the input information for the AI ​​model on the LMF. However, in related solutions, the overhead of the UE / gNB / TRP reporting measurements to the LMF is high, resulting in wasted resources.

[0384] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0385] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information reporting method, apparatus, terminal, and network device to address the problem of high overhead in reporting measurement quantities used to determine AI model input information.

[0386] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0387] As shown in FIG1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information reporting method, which is applied to a terminal and specifically includes the following steps:

[0388] Step 101: A terminal sends channel-related information to a first network device, where the channel-related information is information obtained by the terminal by measuring a downlink positioning reference signal DL-PRS.

[0389] The channel-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0390] Information about each of the N′ measured quantities;

[0391] the value of the number of measured quantities N′;

[0392] Position information of each of the N′ measurement quantities;

[0393] Wherein, N′ is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0394] In this embodiment, the gNB / TRP transmits a DL-PRS, and the UE receives or measures the DL-PRS and obtains channel-related information based on the measurement results. For a TRP, the channel-related information reported by the terminal includes information about N′ measurement quantities, such as information about each of the N′ measurement quantities, the value of N′, and the location information of each measurement quantity.

[0395] N′ is an integer greater than or equal to 0. When N′ is equal to 0, the terminal reports a value of N′ of 0.

[0396] The channel-related information may be time-related information, angle-related information, energy-related information, or a line-of-sight (LOS) / non-line-of-sight (NLOS) indicator. Optionally, the channel-related information may include three types: channel impulse response (CIR), power delay profile (PDP), and delay profile (DP). CIR mainly includes time information, power information, and phase information related to the channel response; PDP mainly includes time information and power information related to the channel response; and DP mainly includes time information related to the channel response.

[0397] The first network device may be an LMF, and the AI / ML model is deployed on the LMF side. The UE reports the obtained channel-related information to the LMF, and the LMF determines the input information of the AI / ML model, thereby completing the position estimation or position solution process based on the received channel-related information and / or the position of the TRP.

[0398] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal reports channel-related information obtained by measuring a DL-PRS to a first network device, enabling the first network device to determine input information for an AI / ML model, thereby completing a position estimation or position solution process based on the received channel-related information and / or the location of a TRP. In reporting channel-related information, at least one item of the relevant information of each of the N′ measurement quantities, the value of N′, and the location information of each of the measurement quantities is reported separately, thereby avoiding reporting unnecessary measurement quantity information, saving reporting overhead, and avoiding resource waste.

[0399] Optionally, the measurement quantity includes at least one of the following:

[0400] Sampling point (sample);

[0401] path.

[0402] In this embodiment, when reporting channel-related information, the terminal may report relevant information of N′ sampling points and / or paths, the number of sampling points and / or paths, and location information of each sampling point and / or path in the N′ sampling points and / or paths.

[0403] Optionally, the information related to the measurement quantity includes at least one of the following:

[0404] Power information of the measured quantity;

[0405] Phase information of the measured quantity;

[0406] Time information of the measured quantity.

[0407] In this embodiment, the relevant information of each measurement quantity in the N′ measurement quantities reported by the terminal may be time information, power information, and phase information of channel response-related measurement quantities included in the three types of CIR, PDP, and DP.

[0408] Specifically, CIR can be presented in the following ways: CIR can include power information and phase information at consecutive time sampling points related to the channel response; CIR can also include the time sampling points with the strongest power related to the channel response and the power information and phase information at these sampling points; CIR can also include power and phase information corresponding to several paths related to the channel response, etc.

[0409] PDP can be presented in the following ways: PDP may include power information at continuous time sampling points related to channel response; PDP may also include the time sampling points with the strongest power related to channel response and the power information at these sampling points; PDP may also include time information and power information corresponding to several paths related to channel response, etc.

[0410] DP can be presented in the following ways: DP can include continuous time sampling points related to channel response, for example: 0 or 1 on continuous time sampling points is used to represent time information; DP can also include only the time information corresponding to the time sampling point with the strongest power related to the channel response; DP can also include time information corresponding to several paths related to the channel response, etc.

[0411] As an optional embodiment, the N′ measurement quantities are the first target measurement quantities among N consecutive measurement quantities related to channel response; N is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and N≥N′.

[0412] In this embodiment, the channel-related information reported by the terminal to the first network device may be related information of a first target measurement amount selected from N consecutive measurement amounts.

[0413] Optionally, the first target measurement quantity includes at least one of the following:

[0414] (1) A measurement quantity whose value is not the first value; optionally, the first value is 0, for example, a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities are included, and the terminal reports relevant information of the measurement quantities that are not 0 among the 10 measurement quantities to the first network device.

[0415] (2) A measurement quantity in a first state; the first state is, for example, a "reporting" state, for example, including N=10 consecutive measurement quantities, and the terminal reports relevant information of the measurement quantities in the "reporting" state among the 10 measurement quantities to the first network device.

[0416] (3) A measurement quantity whose value is greater than or equal to a second value may also be referred to as a measurement quantity with the highest power; the second value may be a measurement threshold notified by the first network device or a predefined or preset value. For example, the second value is "b", and a total of N = 10 consecutive measurement quantities are included. The terminal reports relevant information of the measurement quantities whose values ​​are greater than "b" among the 10 measurement quantities to the first network device.

[0417] Optionally, “greater than or equal to” in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include three situations: >, =, and ≥.

[0418] (4) A measurement quantity whose value satisfies a first range. The first range may be a measurement range threshold notified by the first network device or a predefined or preset value. For example, the first range value is "a to b" and includes a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities. The terminal reports to the first network device information related to the measurement quantities whose values ​​are between "a to b" among the 10 measurement quantities.

[0419] Optionally, the position information of each measurement quantity is position information of each measurement quantity among N consecutive measurement quantities related to channel response.

[0420] In this embodiment, the terminal reports to the first network device the position of each of the N′ measurement quantities within the N consecutive measurement quantities. For example, N=10 consecutive measurement quantities are included, indexed from 0 to 9, and N′=3, with indexes 1, 3, and 7, respectively. The terminal reports to the first network device the positions of the three measurement quantities, respectively, of the 2nd, 4th, and 8th positions of the 10 consecutive measurement quantities.

[0421] As an optional embodiment, the channel-related information further includes: the amount of the second target measurement quantity;

[0422] The second target measurement quantity includes at least one of the following:

[0423] (a) a continuous measurement quantity having a first value;

[0424] Optionally, the first value is 0. For example, a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities are included, and the terminal reports the number of consecutive measurement quantities with a value of 0 among the 10 measurement quantities to the first network device.

[0425] Optionally, the number of consecutive measurement quantities having the first value may include one or more. For example, as shown in FIG2 , a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities (indexed from 0 to 9) are included, and the first value is 0. The number of consecutive measurement quantities having the value 0 includes: 2 (two consecutive measurement quantities with indices 0 and 1) and 3 (three consecutive measurement quantities with indices 3, 4, and 5).

[0426] The terminal reports the number of consecutive measurement quantities whose values ​​are the first value and reports the duration of the sampling points and / or paths whose values ​​are the first value.

[0427] (b) a continuous measurement quantity whose state is not the first state;

[0428] The first state is, for example, a "reporting state", which includes N=10 consecutive measurement quantities. The terminal reports to the first network device the number of consecutive measurement quantities whose state is not "reporting" (ie, the state is "not reporting") among the 10 measurement quantities.

[0429] As shown in FIG2 , a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities (indexed from 0 to 9) are included, and the first state is the "reporting" state. The number of consecutive measurement quantities in the "not reporting" state includes: 2 (two consecutive measurement quantities with indexes 0 and 1 are in the "not reporting" state) and 3 (three consecutive measurement quantities with indexes 3, 4, and 5 are in the "not reporting" state).

[0430] (c) a continuous measurement quantity having a value less than or equal to a second value;

[0431] The second value may be a measurement threshold of a predefined or preset value. For example, the second value is "b", which includes N=10 consecutive measurement quantities. The terminal reports to the first network device the number of consecutive measurement quantities among the 10 measurement quantities whose values ​​are less than or equal to "b".

[0432] As shown in FIG2 , a total of N=10 consecutive measurements (indexed from 0 to 9) are included, and the second value is "2." The number of consecutive measurements with values ​​less than or equal to "2" includes: 2 (two consecutive measurements with indices 0 and 1) and 3 (three consecutive measurements with indices 3, 4, and 5).

[0433] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, “less than or equal to” includes three implementation scenarios: <, =, and ≤.

[0434] (d) Continuous measurement quantities whose values ​​do not satisfy the first range.

[0435] The first range may be a measurement range threshold notified by the first network device or a predefined or preset value. For example, the first range value is "a to b", which includes a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities. The terminal reports to the first network device the number of consecutive measurement quantities whose values ​​among the 10 measurement quantities do not satisfy the range between "a to b".

[0436] As shown in FIG2 , a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities (indexed from 0 to 9) are included, and the first range is "2 to 20." The number of consecutive measurement quantities whose values ​​fall within the range "2 to 20" includes: 2 (the values ​​of two consecutive measurement quantities indexed from 0 and 1 are not within the range "2 to 20") and 3 (the values ​​of three consecutive measurement quantities indexed from 3, 4, and 5 are not within the range "2 to 20").

[0437] Optionally, the method further includes: determining position information of each of the N′ measurement quantities according to the number of the second target measurement quantities.

[0438] In this embodiment, the terminal may also determine the position of each measurement quantity in the reported N′ measurement quantities based on the number of the second target measurement quantities. Optionally, the number of the second target measurement quantities may be equal to N′. For example, the number of consecutive measurement quantities with a value of 0 is 2, and the channel-related information reported by the terminal includes relevant information of the two measurement quantities. As shown in FIG2 , a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities (indexed from 0 to 9) are included, and the first value is 0. The number of consecutive measurement quantities with a value of 0 includes: 2 (2 consecutive measurement quantities with indices of 0 and 1) and 3 (3 consecutive measurement quantities with indices of 3, 4, and 5). Assuming N′=2, the two measurement quantities are measurement quantities with indices of 2 and 6, respectively. The measurement quantity with index 2 is located at the 3rd bit, and the measurement quantity with index 6 is located at the 7th bit.

[0439] As an optional embodiment, before sending the channel-related information to the first network device, the method further includes:

[0441] A reporting method for sending channel-related information to the first network device is determined according to the value of N and / or the value of N′.

[0442] In this embodiment, the terminal may determine the value of N and / or the value of N', and determine a reporting method for the channel-related information based on the value of N and / or the value of N'. It should be noted that the different reporting methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure refer to different contents of the channel-related information reported by the terminal to the first network device.

[0443] Optionally, determining a reporting method for sending channel-related information to the first network device according to the value of N and / or the value of N′ includes:

In the first reporting mode, the channel-related information may further include the number of second target measurement quantities; the specific content of the second target measurement quantity is not described in detail herein.

[0455] As an optional embodiment, determining, based on the value of N and / or the value of N′, a reporting method for the channel-related information to be sent to the first network device includes:

[0456] When the value of N and / or the value of N′ does not satisfy the first condition, determining to send the channel-related information through a second reporting manner;

In this second reporting method, the channel-related information includes information about each of the N' measurement quantities; a bitmap corresponding to the N consecutive measurement quantities, the bitmap being used to indicate the location information of the N' measurement quantities. In this second reporting method, when the terminal reports the channel-related information to the first network device, the location of the N' sampling points and / or paths is represented by a bitmap of the length of the N consecutive measurement quantities.

[0462] The bitmap is a bitmap corresponding to the continuous N measurement quantities. The bitmap can be N bit strings. The positions of N' measurement quantities can be determined through the values of the bit strings. For example, the positions where the bits are set to 1 in the bit string are the positions of N' sampling points and / or paths.

[0463] Optionally, the first condition can also be other conditions. For example, N' < a. When N' is less than the value a, the terminal reports the channel-related information through the first reporting method. When N' ≥ a, the terminal reports the channel-related information through the second reporting method. The above first condition is only an example and can be set to other conditions according to the reporting requirements of the measurement quantities, which will not be elaborated here.

[0464] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0465] The terminal sends first indication information to a first network device, and the first indication information is used to indicate the reporting method of the channel-related information.

[0466] In this embodiment, after determining the reporting method of the channel-related information, the terminal can notify the first network device through the first indication information whether the channel-related information sent by this terminal is the first reporting method or the second reporting method.

[0467] Optionally, the first indication information can be carried by the channel-related information or sent separately by the terminal.

[0468] Optionally, in the case of sending the channel-related information through the second reporting method, the method further includes: sending the value of the number N' of the measurement quantities to the first network device.

The terminal can also send the value of the number N' of the measurement quantities to the first network device, so that the first network device can determine the reporting method of the channel-related information based on the value of N' and the value of N.

[0470] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0471] Receiving first information sent by the first network device, and the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0472] 1) The number of continuous measurement quantities related to the channel response; the first network device sends the value of the number N of the continuous measurement quantities to the terminal, and then the terminal can directly determine the value of the number N of the continuous measurement quantities.

[0473] 2) The number of measurement quantities that the terminal needs to report: The first network device sends the number of measurement quantities that the terminal needs to report to the terminal, and the terminal can determine the value of N' based on the requirements of the first network device. Optionally, the number of measurement quantities that the first network device requires the terminal to report can be the value of N' or the value of the first target measurement quantity.

[0474] 3) The maximum value of the number of measurement quantities that the terminal needs to report; the first network device sends the maximum number of measurement quantities that the terminal needs to report to the terminal, and the terminal can determine the value of N' according to the requirements of the first network device.

[0476] 5) Reporting method for the terminal to send channel-related information: The terminal may send the channel-related information according to the reporting method indicated by the first network device.

[0477] 6) The type of channel related information that the terminal needs to report, such as CIR / PDP / DP, etc., and the terminal can determine the specific content of the related information of each measurement quantity included in the channel related information.

[0478] In this embodiment, the first network device may indicate a reporting scheme for reporting channel related information to the terminal through the first information, and the terminal may determine specific channel related information based on the instruction of the first network device.

[0479] It should be noted that the information reporting method disclosed in the present invention is also applicable to the second network device (gNB / TRP) reporting channel-related information to the first network device. When the second network device reports channel-related information to the first network device, the channel-related information is information obtained by the second network device measuring UL-SRS-pos, and the specific content of the channel-related information is the same as the content of the channel-related information reported by the terminal. Take the first network device as an example, that is, LMF. When the AI ​​model is deployed on the LMF side, the UE reports the channel-related information obtained by measuring DL-PRS to the LMF side to determine the input information of the AI ​​model on the LMF side; or, the gNB / TRP reports the channel-related information obtained by measuring UL-SRS-pos to the LMF side to determine the input information of the AI ​​model on the LMF side.

[0480] The channel-related information mainly includes the following three types of information: CIR, PDP, and DP. It should be noted that the channel-related information may also include other related information, which are specifically limited here.

[0481] The implementation process of the information reporting method disclosed in the present invention is described below through specific embodiments.

[0482] As an optional embodiment, when the UE / gNB reports the channel-related information (such as CIR, PDP, DP) corresponding to a TRP, the following content may be included:

[0483] (1) Reporting the number N′ of sampling points and / or paths selected in the CIR / PDP / DP. The sampling points and / or paths may be sampling points and / or paths in the time domain, and the sampling points and / or paths may be the sampling points and / or paths with the highest power.

[0484] Assuming the CIR / PDP / DP input to the AI ​​model includes N sampling points and / or paths, the maximum value of N' can be equal to N. Therefore, log2N bits are required to report the number of sampling points and / or paths in the CIR / PDP / DP. The value of the number of sampling points and / or paths in the CIR / PDP / DP, N', may vary for different UEs.

[0485] (2) reporting the location information of each sampling point and / or path among the N′ sampling points and / or paths;

[0486] The position information is the position of each sampling point and / or path in the N′ sampling points and / or paths. In this case, each position information requires log2N bits, and N′ position information requires N′*log2N bits.

[0487] or,

[0488] Among N′ sampling points and / or paths, X sampling points and / or paths report their positions within the N sampling points and / or paths, and the remaining N′-X sampling points and / or paths report their relative positions relative to the X sampling points and / or paths. For example, if X=1, 1 sampling point reports its position within the N sampling points, and the remaining N′-1 sampling points report the number of sampling points relative to the interval of that sampling point.

[0489] (3) Reporting the power information and / or phase information and / or time information of each sampling point and / or path among the N′ sampling points and / or paths.

[0490] In this embodiment, the channel related information is taken as an example of PDP. In the first reporting mode, the resource overhead is: N′ TRP *N port *(log2N+N′*log2N)+N′ TRP *N port *N′*B realPDPThe resource cost of the second reporting method is: N' TRP *N port *N+N′ TRP *N port *N′*B realPDP From the perspective of reducing the resource overhead of channel-related information, the UE / gNB can use the first reporting method to report channel-related information when the resource overhead of the first reporting method is small, and use the second reporting method to report channel-related information when the resource overhead of the second reporting method is small. The difference in resource overhead between the first reporting method and the second reporting method is that when (log2N+N′*log2N)≤N, that is, When , the resource overhead of the first reporting method is small; when Assuming N = 256, N' ≤ 31, that is, when the number of N' sampling points and / or paths reported by the UE is less than or equal to 31, the resource overhead of the first reporting method is small; N' > 31, that is, when the number of N' sampling points and / or paths reported by the UE is greater than 31, the resource overhead of the second reporting method is small.

[0491] The UE / gNB determines the N′ sampling points and / or paths that need to be reported. The UE / gNB determines the CIR / PDP / DP reporting method based on the relationship between N′ and N:

[0492] A: When N′ and N satisfy the first formula, assuming the first formula is The content reported by the UE / gNB includes the content in the first reporting mode;

[0493] B: When N′ and N satisfy the second formula, assuming the second formula is The content reported by the UE / gNB includes the content in the second reporting method, specifically including:

[0494] For each TRP:

[0495] Report an N-length bitmap to indicate the positions of N′ sampling points and / or paths among N sampling points and / or paths;

[0496] Report the power information and / or phase information and / or time information of each sampling point and / or path in the N′ sampling points and / or paths.

[0497] After determining the reporting mode, the UE / gNB may report a 1-bit indication flag, which is used to indicate whether the reporting mode is the first reporting mode or the second reporting mode.

[0498] For example: If the UE indicates to use the first reporting mode through 0 or 1 in 1 bit, it means At this time, when the UE reports the number N' in the first reporting mode, no log2N bits are required, only or bit.

[0499] Alternatively, the UE / gNB reports the number N′, and the LMF determines whether the channel-related information is reported in the first reporting mode or the second reporting mode based on the number N′;

[0500] when When , the UE / gNB reports the channel related information according to the first reporting mode; when When the UE / gNB reports the channel-related information in the second reporting mode,

[0501] LMF determines the number of N' and the value of N, and can compare the size relationship between N' and N, and then determine whether the reporting content corresponding to the UE is in accordance with the first reporting method or the second reporting method.

[0502] The LMF may also provide some auxiliary information or indication information to the UE / gNB to instruct the UE / gNB to report the channel-related reporting scheme. The LMF may send one or more of the following information to the UE / gNB:

[0503] 1)LMF indicates the value of N;

[0504] 2) The LMF determines the number N′ that the UE / gNB needs to report, determines the reporting method for channel-related information based on the relationship between the number of N′ and the value of N, and indicates the specific reporting method to be used (first reporting method or second reporting method) to the UE / gNB;

[0505] 3) The LMF indicates the number of N′ that the UE / gNB needs to report. The UE / gNB determines the reporting method of the channel-related information based on the relationship between the number of N′ and the value of N. The UE / gNB reports the channel-related information according to the number of N′ indicated by the LMF.

[0506] 4) The LMF indicates the maximum value of N′ reported by the UE / gNB. The number of sampling points and / or paths reported by the UE / gNB may be less than or equal to the maximum value of N′. The UE / gNB may determine the reporting method based on the final number of sampling points and / or paths reported.

[0507] 5) The LMF indicates the minimum value of N′ reported by the UE / gNB. The number of sampling points and / or paths reported by the UE / gNB may be greater than or equal to the minimum value of N′. The UE / gNB may determine the reporting method based on the final number of sampling points and / or paths reported.

[0508] 6) The reporting method used when the LMF instructs the UE / gNB to report channel-related information;

[0509] This reporting method is associated with the number N′. The UE / gNB further determines the value of N′ sampling points and / or paths to be reported, the maximum value of N′ sampling points and / or paths to be reported, or the minimum value of N′ sampling points and / or paths to be reported.

[0510] 7) The LMF may indicate the reporting method, and the UE needs to report according to the instructions of the LMF; alternatively, the LMF may indicate the reporting method, but the instructions of the LMF are only recommendations for the UE, and the UE may not report according to the instructions of the LMF. The UE may determine which method to report according to its own judgment and report a 1-bit indication identifier.

[0511] 8)LMF indicates the type of channel-related information reported by the UE / gNB, such as CIR, PDP, DP, etc.

[0512] As an optional embodiment, when the UE / gNB reports the channel-related information (such as CIR, PDP, DP) corresponding to a TRP, the following content may be included:

[0513] (a) Reporting the number N′, where N′ is the number of sampling points and / or paths selected from the N sampling points and / or paths. For example, N′ is the number of sampling points and / or paths whose values ​​are not 0 among the N sampling points and / or paths, or N′ is the number of sampling points and / or paths whose states are in the first state among the N sampling points and / or paths; or N′ is the number of sampling points and / or paths whose values ​​are greater than or equal to a preset threshold among the N sampling points and / or paths; or N′ is the number of sampling points and / or paths whose values ​​fall within a preset range among the N sampling points and / or paths.

[0514] Assuming that the CIR / PDP / DP input to the AI ​​model includes N sampling points and / or paths, the maximum value of N′ can be equal to N. Therefore, log2N bits are required to report N′.

[0515] (b) reporting N′ durations, where the duration may be a sampling point with a value of 0 and / or the duration of the path;

[0516] A duration length requires log2N bits, and N′ duration lengths require N′*log2N bits;

[0517] (c) Reporting the power information and / or phase information and / or time information of each sampling point and / or path among the N′ sampling points and / or paths.

[0518] In this embodiment, the channel related information is taken as PDP as an example. The resource overhead of this embodiment is: N′ TRP *N port *(log2N+N′*log2N)+N′ TRP *N port *N′*B realPDP The resource cost of the second reporting method is: N' TRP *N port *N+N′ TRP *N port *N′*B realPDP From the perspective of reducing the resource overhead of channel-related information, the UE / gNB can use the first reporting method to report channel-related information when the resource overhead of the first reporting method is small, and use the second reporting method to report channel-related information when the resource overhead of the second reporting method is small. The difference in resource overhead between the first reporting method and the second reporting method is that when (log2N+N′*log2N)≤N, that is, When , the resource overhead of the first reporting method is small; when When , the resource overhead of the second reporting method is small.

[0519] In this embodiment, the UE / gNB determines the N′ sampling points and / or paths that need to be reported. The UE / gNB determines the reporting method of CIR / PDP / DP based on the relationship between the values ​​of N′ and N. The specific determination method is not repeated here.

[0520] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal reports channel-related information obtained by measuring a DL-PRS to a first network device, enabling the first network device to determine input information for an AI / ML model, thereby completing a position estimation or position solution process based on the received channel-related information and / or the location of a TRP. In reporting channel-related information, at least one item of the relevant information of each of the N′ measurement quantities, the value of N′, and the location information of each of the measurement quantities is reported separately, thereby avoiding reporting unnecessary measurement quantity information, saving reporting overhead, and avoiding resource waste.

[0546] (3) A measurement quantity whose value is greater than or equal to a second value may also be referred to as a measurement quantity with the highest power; the second value may be a measurement threshold notified by the first network device or a predefined or preset value. For example, the second value is "b", and a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities are included. The second network device reports to the first network device information related to the measurement quantities whose values ​​are greater than "b" among the 10 measurement quantities.

[0547] Optionally, “greater than or equal to” in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include three situations: >, =, and ≥.

[0548] (4) A measurement quantity whose value satisfies a first range. The first range may be a measurement range threshold value notified by the first network device or a predefined or preset value. For example, the first range value is "a to b" and includes a total of N=10 consecutive measurement quantities.

[0589] The bitmap is a bitmap corresponding to the N consecutive measurements, and this bitmap can be N bit strings. The positions of N' measurements can be determined through the values of these bit strings. For example: the positions where the bits are set to 1 in the bit string are the positions of N' sampling points and / or paths. Optionally, the first condition can also be other conditions. For example: N' < a, when N' is less than the value a, the terminal reports the channel related information by the first reporting method, and when N' ≥ a, the terminal reports the channel related information by the second reporting method.

[0590] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:
