[0071] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the Self-Optimizing Experience (SOE) related to the present application is explained.

[0072] Network-centric data collection and optimization aims to improve overall or average performance at the cell or network level. Currently, the terminal side can also optimize communication performance or user experience based on terminal-side data. UE-centric data collection and optimization can reduce the probability of extremely poor user experience and improve the minimum user experience level. This is called Self-Optimization of Experience (SOE).

[0073] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the problems solved by the present application are explained.

[0074] In millimeter-wave wireless communications, communication transceivers (such as base stations and UEs) are configured with multiple simulated beams. For the same UE, the channel quality measured in different transmit and receive simulated beams varies. How to quickly and accurately find the transmit and receive beam group with the highest channel quality from all possible transmit and receive simulated beam combinations is key to transmission quality. With the introduction of an artificial intelligence (AI) neural network model, the terminal can effectively predict the transmit and receive simulated beam with the highest channel quality based on historical channel quality information and report it to the network.

[0075] In beam pair prediction, providing detailed beam information can improve prediction accuracy. For example, when performing beam pair prediction on the UE side, the AI ​​model input includes beam quality information measured by the UE and beam information transmitted by the base station. The beam information transmitted by the base station includes information such as beam pointing, beam shape, and beam 3dB width, which are all relatively sensitive.

[0076] On the other hand, transmitting beam information during each beam prediction operation increases signaling overhead between the base station and the UE. If the UE's beam prediction performance is already excellent, there's no need to transmit beam information. Furthermore, UEs with different communication services should enjoy different communication service qualities, i.e., different priorities, and receive different base station-side assistance information.

[0077] Based on the above problems, the present application proposes an information transmission method, in which the first device can send the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information to the target device according to the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information. Specifically, the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information are parameters associated with the target device, so that the first device can provide differentiated auxiliary information to different target devices (such as terminals), realize data collection and performance optimization centered on the target device (such as the terminal), reduce the probability of extremely poor user experience, improve the lower limit of the user experience level or realize self-optimization of user experience. This allows certain UEs with performance to be improved or UEs with high-quality services to improve the performance of executing the target function by obtaining auxiliary information.

[0078] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.

[0106] In this embodiment, the target device can send first information to the second device to request auxiliary information, and the second device provides information associated with the target device to the first device, so that the first device can send the exposeable parameters in the auxiliary information to the target device based on the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the exposeable parameters in the auxiliary information.

[0107] In some embodiments, the target function may include but is not limited to one of the following: beam prediction function, positioning function, mobility management function, and channel state information (CSI) compression.

[0108] Exemplarily, when the target function is beam prediction, the auxiliary information may include information related to the base station transmit antenna or beam. For example, the auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: base station transmit beam identifier, base station transmit beam pointing, base station transmit beamforming codebook, base station transmit beam shape, and beam 3dB bandwidth.

[0109] Exemplarily, when the target function is a positioning function, the auxiliary information may include at least one of the following: relevant information of the measurement beam (for example, a measurement beam identifier, a shaping codebook, a 3dB bandwidth of the measurement beam), a line of sight (LOS) / non-line of sight (NLOS) indication, and the location information of the base station.

[0110] Exemplarily, when the target function is a mobility management function, the auxiliary information may include at least one of the following: relevant information of the serving cell (e.g., serving cell base station location, LOS / NLOS distribution), relevant information of the neighboring cell (e.g., neighboring cell base station location, LOS / NLOS distribution), and cell radius.

[0111] Exemplarily, when the target function is a CSI compression function, the auxiliary information may include at least one of the following: cell LOS / NLOS distribution, beamforming codebook, base station antenna configuration (for example, the number of antenna elements in the horizontal / vertical dimensions of each port, antenna downtilt angle), cell radius, and base station location information.

[0112] Exemplarily, in the case where the target device sends the first information to the second device, the target function may be paging failure optimization or protocol data unit (PDU) establishment optimization.

[0113] In some embodiments, the target device may implement the target function based on at least one AI unit, or the target device may implement the target function based on at least one AI unit group.

[0114] In some embodiments, the event associated with the target function includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: initial access, cell handover, and an update or change to a parameter configuration associated with the implementation of the target function. In this embodiment, the target device may carry an event identifier associated with the target function in the first information, so that the network side can be informed of the event associated with the target function and, thereby, provide auxiliary information to the target device based on the event associated with the target function.

[0115] In some embodiments, event identifiers may be pre-configured, and desired auxiliary information may be implicitly indicated by different event identifiers.

[0116] In some embodiments, the first information further includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: an identifier of the target function, an indication of a desired subscription level, an indication of a desired level of privacy, a list of cells associated with desired auxiliary information, and an indication of an AI unit or AI unit group associated with the implementation of the target function. In this embodiment, the target device may also carry the identifier of the target function, the indication of a desired subscription level, an indication of an AI unit or AI unit group associated with the implementation of the target function, etc. in the first information, so that the network side can provide auxiliary information to the target device based on the first information.

[0117] Exemplarily, if the desired privacy level is no physical meaning, the first information may further include an indication of a privacy processing method supported by the target device.

[0118] In some embodiments, the association between the contract level and the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information can be agreed upon by the protocol, or the association between the contract level and the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information can be configured by the network side.

[0119] In this embodiment, the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information may be determined based on the contract level.

[0120] In some embodiments, the subscription level may be obtained from subscription information of the target device.

[0121] In some embodiments, the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information includes: including physical meaning and not having physical meaning. In this embodiment, different privacy levels can be set for different target devices to meet the service quality requirements of different target devices.

[0122] For example, for parameters without physical meaning, the target device can determine the privacy processing method used by the first device during training based on a specific privacy mapping instruction, so that the first device uses the same privacy processing method during AI unit inference. This ensures that after the target device uses the parameters without physical meaning as AI unit input, it can obtain valid AI unit inference output. If the first device uses different privacy mapping methods during model training and model inference, the inference performance of the AI ​​unit after the parameters without physical meaning are input cannot be guaranteed.

[0123] Alternatively, for parameters without physical meaning, the target device can restore their physical meaning through a specific privacy mapping relationship. Other devices cannot know their specific physical meaning after obtaining the parameter, thereby improving the transmission security of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information.

[0124] In some embodiments, when the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information included in the second information is that they have no physical meaning, the second signal also includes a virtual identifier, which is used to identify the mapping relationship between the parameters without physical meaning and the physical meaning, or the virtual identifier is used to identify the processing method for obtaining the parameters without physical meaning.

[0125] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned specific privacy mapping indication may be a virtual identifier.

[0126] Optionally, the mapping relationship between parameters without physical meaning and physical meaning may be configured by the network side.

[0127] For example, when the target function is beam prediction, the auxiliary information includes: base station transmit beam identifier, base station transmit beam direction, base station transmit beamforming codebook, and beam 3dB bandwidth. Specifically, the exposure status indication of the parameters in the auxiliary information can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0128] Table 1

[0129] For example, when the target function is beam prediction, the auxiliary information includes: base station transmit beam identifier, base station transmit beam pointing, base station transmit beamforming codebook, and beam 3dB bandwidth. Specifically, the exposure status indication of the parameters in the auxiliary information and the privacy level indication of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information can be shown in Table 2 below.

[0130] Table 2

[0131] For example, when the target function is beam prediction, the auxiliary information includes: base station transmit beam identifier, base station transmit beam pointing, base station transmit beamforming codebook, and beam 3dB bandwidth. Specifically, the relationship between the subscription level, the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information, and the privacy level of the parameters that can be exposed in the auxiliary information can be shown in Table 3.

[0132] Table 3

[0133] In some embodiments, methods for de-physicalizing (or privacy-enhancing) include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: biasing values, scaling values, transforming values ​​into polynomial functions, multi-dimensional mapping of single values, and shuffling values. Optionally, the de-physicalizing method can be configured by the network.

[0134] For example, privacy processing methods such as biasing a value, scaling a value, performing a polynomial function transformation on a value, and performing multi-dimensional mapping on a single value can be shown in Table 4.

[0135] Table 4

[0136] For example, a shuffling operation is performed on a set of values, i.e., the original order of the values ​​is disrupted. Specifically, the mapping relationship between the original order of a set of values ​​and their physical meanings can be shown in Table 5. The shuffling operation includes: 4 3 1 5 6 7 8 2. The mapping relationship between the order after shuffling and the physical meaning can be shown in Table 6.

[0137] Table 5

[0138] Table 6

[0139] For example, the virtual identifier is used to identify the processing method for obtaining parameters without physical meaning. That is, the privacy method used can be determined based on the virtual identifier. For example, it can be used to identify which privacy method 1 to 5, or a combination thereof, is used, as well as the transformation operations involved in each method. Among them, 1 indicates biasing the value, 2 indicates scaling the value, 3 indicates polynomial transformation of the value, 4 indicates multidimensional mapping of a single value, and 5 indicates shuffling the value.

[0140] For example, based on the virtual identity, it is possible to determine:

[0141] 1) Privacy methods 1 (biasing the values) and 5 (shuffling the values) were used;

[0142] 2) Bias value used in privacy method 1: 100;

[0143] 3) The out-of-order operations used in privacy method 5: 4 3 1 5 6 7 8 2.

[0144] In some embodiments, the target device-associated information further includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0145] An indication of whether the target device is allowed to obtain the auxiliary information, an indication of the conditions for the target device to obtain the auxiliary information, an identifier of the target function, an AI unit identifier or an AI unit group identifier associated with the implementation of the target function, and an event identifier associated with the target function.

[0146] Exemplarily, the indication of whether the target device is allowed to obtain auxiliary information can occupy 1 bit; wherein, a value of 0 indicates that the target device is allowed to obtain auxiliary information, and a value of 1 indicates that the target device is not allowed to obtain auxiliary information; or, a value of 1 indicates that the target device is allowed to obtain auxiliary information, and a value of 0 indicates that the target device is not allowed to obtain auxiliary information.

[0147] In some embodiments, the conditions for the target device to obtain auxiliary information include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0148] The target device always allows the acquisition of the auxiliary information, the communication performance corresponding to the target function is lower than the first threshold, the reasoning performance of the AI ​​unit or AI unit group associated with the implementation of the target function is lower than the second threshold, and the monitoring performance of the AI ​​unit or AI unit group associated with the implementation of the target function is lower than the third threshold.

[0149] Optionally, the first threshold is agreed upon by a protocol, or the first threshold is configured by a network side.

[0150] Optionally, the second threshold is agreed upon by a protocol, or the second threshold is configured by the network side.

[0151] Optionally, the third threshold is agreed upon by a protocol, or the third threshold is configured by the network side.

[0152] In some embodiments, the above S210 may specifically include:

[0153] The target device sends the first information to the first device or the second device when at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0154] The communication performance corresponding to the target function is lower than a first threshold;

[0155] The reasoning performance of the AI ​​unit or group of AI units associated with the implementation of the target function is below a second threshold;

[0156] The monitored performance of the AI ​​unit or group of AI units associated with the implementation of the target function is below a third threshold;

[0157] The target device is prepared to switch the AI ​​unit or AI unit group associated with the implementation of the target function;

[0158] The target device is ready to activate an AI unit or group of AI units associated with the implementation of the target function;

[0159] The target device is to monitor an inactivated AI unit or group of AI units associated with implementation of the target function.

[0160] The AI ​​unit described in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as an AI model, an AI model / AI unit, a machine learning (ML) model, an ML unit, an AI structure, an AI function, an AI characteristic, a neural network, a neural network function, a neural network function, etc., or the AI ​​unit described in the embodiments of the present application may also refer to a processing unit capable of implementing specific algorithms, formulas, processing flows, capabilities, etc. related to AI, or the AI ​​unit described in the embodiments of the present application may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit for a specific data set, or the AI ​​unit described in the embodiments of the present application may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit running on AI / ML-related hardware such as a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, the specific data set includes the input or output of the AI ​​unit.

[0161] For example, the AI ​​feature can be combined with a specific configuration to obtain an AI function. For example, the AI ​​feature is beam management, and the AI ​​function is time domain beam prediction under the base station configuration of 32 transmit beams.

[0162] Optionally, the identifier of the AI ​​unit described in the embodiment of the present application may be an AI model identifier, an AI structure identifier, an AI algorithm identifier, or an identifier of a specific data set associated with the AI ​​unit, or an identifier of a specific scenario, environment, channel feature, or device related to AI / ML, or an identifier of an AI / ML-related function, feature, capability, or module. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0163] In some embodiments, when the target device sends first information to the first device, the first information can be transmitted via non-access stratum (NAS) signaling or radio access network (RAN) signaling, such as physical layer signaling, media access control (MAC) layer signaling, and radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling.

[0164] In some embodiments, when the target device sends the first information to the second device, the first information may be transmitted via NAS signaling. For example, the first information is information sent during the registration process.

[0165] In some embodiments, the second information may be sent after the RRC connection is established, or the second information may be sent via other system information (Remaining System Information, RMSI) in a broadcast message.

[0166] For example, when the second information is sent through the RMSI in the broadcast message, for example, for parameters without physical meaning, the target device can restore their physical meaning through a specific privacy mapping relationship, and other devices cannot know their specific physical meaning after obtaining the parameter, thereby improving the transmission security of the exposed parameters in the auxiliary information and enabling the terminal devices to obtain auxiliary information differently.

[0167] It should be noted that the so-called RMSI contains other system information (including System Information Block (SIB) 1) in addition to the Master Information Block (MIB). However, the transmission mechanisms of SIB1 and SIBx are very different. SIB1 is always sent through system broadcast information. It can derive the search space configuration through the Physical Downlink Control Channel Config System Information Block 1Information Elements (PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 IE) obtained in the MIB, thereby realizing the reception of SIB1. However, SIBx is not periodically broadcast by default in NR. If there is no periodic broadcast, the UE can request system information using an on-demand mechanism, and the network side will configure it to be sent as a broadcast or UE-dedicated signaling.

[0168] In some embodiments, the fourth information may be transmitted via an N2 interface.

[0169] In some embodiments, before the above S210, the information transmission method 200 further includes:

[0170] The target device receives third information from the first device or the second device;

[0171] Among them, the third information includes at least one of the following: an indication of whether the target device is allowed to obtain the auxiliary information, an indication of the conditions for the target device to obtain the auxiliary information, an identifier of the target function, an AI unit identifier or an AI unit group identifier associated with the implementation of the target function, and an event identifier associated with the target function.

[0172] In this embodiment, the first device or the second device may provide the target device with the third information in advance, so that the target device may send the first information based on the third information.

[0173] In some embodiments, before the above S240, the information transmission method 200 further includes:

[0174] The first device sends fifth information to the second device, where the fifth information is used to request information associated with the target device.

[0175] In this embodiment, the second device may send the fourth information to the first device after receiving the fifth information, which can avoid the second device from blindly sending the fourth information.

[0176] In some embodiments, the fifth information includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: an identification of the target device, an indication of the auxiliary information expected by the target device, an indication of the subscription level expected by the target device, cell list information associated with the auxiliary information expected by the target device, an identification of the target function, an indication of the AI ​​unit or AI unit group associated with the implementation of the target function expected by the target device, and an event identification associated with the target function.

[0177] In some embodiments, the first device sends the fifth information to the second device when at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0178] The first device adjusts a parameter configuration associated with the implementation of the target function;

[0179] The target device is handed over from a source cell to a target cell, and parameter configurations associated with implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell are different;

[0180] The first device instructs the target device to activate the target function based on the AI ​​unit or the AI ​​unit group;

[0181] The target device is ready to activate the target function based on the AI ​​unit or AI unit group;

[0182] The target device actively requests to obtain the auxiliary information.

[0183] In this embodiment, the first device may send the fifth information to the second device under specific circumstances, thereby avoiding the signaling overhead caused by blindly sending the fifth information. In addition, the fifth information sent under different circumstances may have a specific request format and content. Exemplarily, when the first device instructs the target device to activate the target function based on the AI ​​unit or AI unit group, or the target device is ready to activate the target function based on the AI ​​unit or AI unit group, the fifth information will include the AI ​​unit or AI unit group indication associated with the implementation of the target function that the target device expects; in other cases, it may not include the AI ​​unit or AI unit group indication associated with the implementation of the target function that the target device expects.

[0184] In some embodiments, before the first device sends the fifth information to the second device, after the target device switches from the source cell to the target cell, the first device receives the sixth information from the base station of the source cell, wherein the first device is the base station of the target cell, and the sixth information includes at least one of the following: an indication of a parameter configuration associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell, an indication of whether the parameter configurations associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell are the same, and an indication of a configuration difference of parameters associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell.

[0185] In this embodiment, the first device may determine, based on the sixth information, that parameter configurations associated with implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell are different.

[0186] In some embodiments, before the first device receives the sixth information from the base station of the source cell, the first device sends the eighth information to the base station of the source cell, wherein the eighth information includes at least one of the following: a parameter indication associated with the implementation of the target function, and a parameter configuration indication associated with the implementation of the target function in the target cell.

[0187] In this embodiment, the base station of the source cell can obtain parameters associated with the implementation of the target function based on the eighth information, and determine whether the parameter configurations associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell are the same based on the eighth information, or determine the configuration differences of the parameters associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell based on the eighth information.

[0188] In some embodiments, before the first device sends the fifth information to the second device, during the process of the target device switching from the source cell to the target cell, the first device receives the seventh information from the base station of the target cell, wherein the first device is the base station of the source cell, and the seventh information includes at least one of the following: an indication of the parameter configuration associated with the implementation of the target function in the target cell, an indication of whether the parameter configuration associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell is the same, and an indication of the configuration difference of the parameters associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell.

[0189] In this embodiment, the first device may determine, based on the seventh information, that parameter configurations associated with implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell are different.

[0190] In some embodiments, before the first device receives the seventh information from the base station of the target cell, the first device sends the ninth information to the base station of the target cell, wherein the ninth information includes at least one of the following: a parameter indication associated with the implementation of the target function, and a parameter configuration indication associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell.

[0191] In this embodiment, the base station of the target cell can obtain the parameters associated with the implementation of the target function based on the ninth information, and determine whether the parameter configurations associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell are the same based on the ninth information, or determine the configuration differences of the parameters associated with the implementation of the target function in the source cell and the target cell based on the ninth information.

[0192] In some embodiments, before S240, the information transmission method 200 further includes:

[0193] The second device sends tenth information to the third device, wherein the tenth information is used to request to obtain information associated with the target device;

[0194] The second device receives eleventh information from the third device, where the eleventh information includes identification information of the target device and information associated with the target device.

[0195] In some embodiments, the tenth information includes an identification of the target device.

[0196] In this embodiment, the second device may obtain information associated with the target device from the third device.

[0197] In some embodiments, the third device may be a contract information storage device. For example, the third device may be one of the following: unified data management (UDM), a data management function, or a database.

[0198] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the first device can send the exposeable parameters in the auxiliary information to the target device based on the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the exposeable parameters in the auxiliary information. Specifically, the exposure status of the parameters in the auxiliary information or the privacy level of the exposeable parameters in the auxiliary information are parameters associated with the target device, so that the first device can provide differentiated auxiliary information to different target devices (such as terminals), realize data collection and performance optimization centered on the target device (such as the terminal), reduce the probability of extremely poor user experience, improve the lower limit of user experience level, or realize self-optimization of user experience.

[0199] The technical solution of this application is described below through Examples 1 to 6.
