[0048] In order to facilitate understanding of the implementation of this application, the following technical points are first introduced below.
[0049] 1. About the use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods for beam prediction.
[0050] One possible approach is shown in Figure 1. Using the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of a subset of beam pairs as input, the AI unit outputs the RSRP results for all beam pairs. A beam pair consists of a transmit beam and a receive beam. The AI unit's input count is the number of selected subset beam pairs, and its output count is the number of all beam pairs.
[0051] In addition, there is a method to enhance the beam prediction performance as shown in Figure 2.
[0052] On the input side, contextual information is added to represent the angle-related information corresponding to the input beam pair, as well as beam identification (ID) information. Therefore, the number of inputs to this model is related to the number of selected beam pairs, and the number of outputs is equal to the number of all beam pairs.
[0053] There is also an improved method based on the above as shown in Figure 3.
[0054] It mainly affects the output of the AI unit by changing the expected information of the AI unit.
[0055] The input type of the AI unit includes at least one of the following:
[0056] (1) Information related to beam quality;
[0057] (2) beam information;
[0058] (3) End A sends beam information;
[0059] For example, end A can be a terminal or a network-side device.
[0060] (4) End B receives beam information;
[0061] For example, end B can be a network-side device or terminal.
[0062] (5) Beam information expected by the B-side;
[0063] (6) The B-side receiving beam information expected by the B-side;
[0064] (7) The beam information that the B-side expects the A-side to send;
[0065] (8) Time-related information related to beam quality;
[0066] (9) Information related to the expected prediction time.
[0067] 2. Regarding beam reporting and beam resource configuration.
[0068] The association relationship is as follows: beam report configuration is associated with beam resource configuration, beam resource configuration is associated with beam resource set configuration, and beam resource set configuration is associated with beam resource configuration.
[0069] Specifically, the protocol corresponds to the following: the channel state information (CSI) report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) is associated with the CSI resource configuration (CSI-ResourceConfig), and the CSI-ResourceConfig is associated with the resource set (Resource Set) and time domain behavior.
[0070] (1) If a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource set is used, the corresponding non-zero power (NZP)-CSI-RS-ResourceSet is associated with the NZP-CSI-RS-Resoure in the Resource Set. The time domain behavior is used to indicate the time domain periodicity attribute associated with the CSI-RS resource set.
[0071] (2) If the synchronization signal block (SSB) resource set is used, the corresponding CSI-SSB-ResourceSet is used. The SSB index is associated with the resource set, and the time domain behavior is invalid.
[0072] A CSI-ReportConfig (e.g., beam report configuration) contains up to three CSI-ResoureConfigs, with the following relationships:
[0073] (1) Aperiodic CSI-ReportConfig can be associated with periodic, semi-persistent, and semi-persistent CSI-ResourceConfig, and can be configured with up to three beam resource configurations.
[0074] a) When one CSI-ResourceConfig is configured, it is used for channel measurement (CM) (including layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) measurement);
[0075] b) Configure two CSI-ResourceConfigs, the first for CM and the second for interference measurement of zero-power resources;
[0076] c) Configure three CSI-ResourceConfigs, the first one for CM, the second one for interference measurement of zero-power resources, and the third one for interference measurement of non-zero-power resources.
[0077] (2) Semi-persistent CSI-ReportConfig can be associated with a period, and semi-persistent CSI-ResourceConfig can be configured with up to two beam resource configurations;
[0078] a) 1 CSI-ResourceConfig, used for CM channel measurement (including L1-RSRP measurement);
[0079] b) Two CSI-ResourceConfigs, the first one is used for CM and the second one is used for interference measurement of zero-power resources.
[0080] (3) Periodic CSI-ReportConfig can be associated with a periodicity, and semi-persistent CSI-ResourceConfig can be configured with up to two beam resource configurations;
[0081] a) 1 CSI-ResourceConfig, used for CM channel measurement (including L1-RSRP measurement);
[0082] b) 2 CSI-ResourceConfigs, the first one is for CM and the second one is for interference measurement of zero-power resources;
[0083] The time domain behaviors of one or more CSI-ResourceConfigs associated with CSI-ReportConfig are consistent.
[0084] For periodic and semi-persistent CSI resourceConfig, only one resource set is supported. However, if group-based beam reporting (groupBasedbeamReporting) is supported in the report, two sets can be configured.
[0085] For non-periodic CSI resourceConfig, the number of sets is not limited to 1 and a maximum of 16 can be configured.
[0086] A maximum of 64 NZP CSI-RS resources are supported in one CSI-RS resource set. When the higher layer parameter (reportQuantity) is set to 'none', CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI) - Resource indicator (RI) - Channel quality indicator (CQI)', 'CRI - Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)' or 'Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) - Index - RSRP', a maximum of 128 resources are supported across all CSI-RS resource sets.
[0087] If the repetition information associated with a CSI-RS resource set is configured to be on, the user equipment (UE) will assume that all CSI-RS resources in the CSI-RS resource set use the same transmit beam information when transmitting. If it is configured to be off, the UE will not assume that these resources use the same transmit beam information. In other words, the repetition parameter in a CSI-RS resource set controls the beam information properties of all resources associated with the resource set.
[0088] 3. Regarding the beam indication mechanism.
[0089] After beam measurement and beam reporting, the network can make beam indications for the downlink and uplink channels or reference signals to establish a beam link between the network and the UE to achieve channel or reference signal transmission.
[0090] For Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) beam indication, the network uses Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to configure K Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) states for each Control Resource Set (CORESET). When K > 1, a Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) indicates or activates one TCI state. When K = 1, no additional MAC CE command is required. When monitoring the PDCCH, the UE uses the same quasi-colocation (QCL), i.e., the same TCI state, for all search spaces (SS) within the CORESET. The reference signals (RS) (e.g., periodic CSI-RS resources, semi-persistent CSI-RS resources, SSBs, etc.) in this TCI state and the UE-specific PDCCH demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports are spatially QCLed. The UE can know which receiving beam to use to receive the PDCCH based on the TCI status.
[0091] For beam indication of the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), the network configures M TCI states through RRC signaling, activates 2N TCI states using a MAC CE command, and then notifies the TCI state through the N-bit TCI field of the Downlink Control Information (DCI). The reference signal in this TCI state is QCL with the DMRS port of the scheduled PDSCH. Based on this TCI state, the UE knows which receive beam to use to receive the PDSCH.
[0092] For CSI-RS beam indication, when the CSI-RS type is periodic CSI-RS, the network configures QCL information for the CSI-RS resource through RRC signaling. When the CSI-RS type is semi-persistent CSI-RS, the network activates the RRC-configured CSI-RS resource set through a MAC CE command and associates QCL information with each CSI-RS resource. When the CSI-RS type is aperiodic CSI-RS, the network configures QCL for the CSI-RS resource through RRC signaling and uses DCI to trigger the CSI-RS.
[0093] For beam indication of the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the network uses RRC signaling to configure spatial relation information for each PUCCH resource through the parameter PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo. When multiple spatial relation information are configured for a PUCCH resource, MAC-CE is used to indicate or activate one of the spatial relation information. When only one spatial relation information is configured for a PUCCH resource, no additional MAC CE command is required.
[0094] For the beam indication of PUSCH, the spatial relation information of PUSCH is that when the DCI carried by PDCCH schedules PUSCH, each SRI codepoint of the SRS Resource Indicator (SRI) field in the DCI indicates an SRI, and the SRI is used to indicate the spatial relation information of PUSCH.
[0095] For SRS beam indication, when the SRS type is periodic SRS, the network configures spatial relation information for the SRS resource through RRC signaling. When the SRS type is semi-persistent SRS, the network activates one spatial relation information from a set of RRC-configured spatial relation information through a MAC CE command. When the SRS type is aperiodic SRS, the network configures spatial relation information for the SRS resource through RRC signaling.
[0096] 4. Regarding the unified TCI indication mechanism.
[0097] To further improve beam indication, a unified TCI indication is proposed. Simply put, the TCI field in a DCI is used to indicate the beam information of subsequent reference signals and multiple channels.
[0098] The Unified TCI mechanism is divided into two modes: joint mode and separate mode. Mode switching is performed through RRC.
[0099] The joint mode reuses the original TCI-StateId. One code point in the TCI field in the DCI corresponds to one downlink (DL) TCI information. The DL TCI information is used to indicate subsequent reference signals and beam information of multiple channels, including uplink or downlink.
[0100] The Separate mode reuses the original TCI-StateId as the DL TCI indication and adds TCI-Uplink (UpLink, UL)-StateID as the UL TCI indication. One code point in the TCI field in the DCI corresponds to one DL TCI, or UL TCI, or DL TCI+UL TCI, which are used to indicate the beam information of the subsequent downlink reference signal and the downlink channel, or to indicate the beam information of the subsequent uplink reference signal and the uplink channel, or to indicate the beam information of each subsequent reference signal and multiple channels, including uplink and downlink.
[0101] RRC configures the TCI pool, and MAC CE activates TCI information corresponding to a maximum of 8 code points from the transmission configuration indicator pool (TCI pool). The specific signaling is shown in Figure 4.
[0102] 1) Serving cell ID (5 bits), used to determine the serving cell to which the MAC CE applies. In addition, if only the serving cell is configured with simultaneous uplink transmission configuration indication update list (simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList) 1, simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList2, simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList3, or simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList4, the MAC CE applies to all cells indicated in simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList1, simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList2, simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList3, or simultaneousU-TCI-UpdateList4.
[0103] 2) Downlink bandwidth part identifier (DL BWP ID), 2 bits. Each TCI state-Id corresponds to the serving cell ID and BWP ID, so it is also necessary to clearly indicate which BWP it belongs to.
[0104] 3) Uplink bandwidth part identifier (UL BWP ID), 2 bits;
[0105] 4)P i , each P i Both are used to indicate that the corresponding TCI code point is associated with multiple TCI states or one TCI state. In theory, this field is only effective in separate TCI mode;
[0106] If P i The position indicator is 1, indicating that the i-th code point corresponds to the DL TCI state + UL TCI state, that is, seperate unified TCI;
[0107] If P i The position indicator is 0, indicating that the first code point corresponds to the DL or joint TCI state or the UL TCI state;
[0108] 5) D / U: used to indicate whether the TCI status on the same row is for joint or DL TCI or UL TCI;
[0109] 6) Transmission Configuration Indicator State ID (TCI state ID): This directly corresponds to the ID configured in the RRC. Based on the RRC configuration, a maximum of 128 IDs can be configured for DL or joint TCI, and a maximum of 64 UL TCI IDs can be configured for UL TCI.
[0110] 7) The number of TCIs in the MAC CE. Consider two extreme cases: all DL or joint TCIs, or all separate TCIs.
[0111] 5. About enabling Unified TCI.
[0112] The prerequisite is that the unified TCI pool must be configured first;
[0113] 1) For PDCCH and scheduled PDSCH of COREST#0, the unified TCI function is enabled by following the unified TCI state parameter (followUnifiedTCIstate);
[0114] 2) For other CORESETs:
[0115] a) Associate only the PDCCH and its scheduled PDSCH on the CORESET of the User Specific Search Space (USS) or the Type 3 Common Search Space (CSS), and directly enable the unified TCI function;
[0116] b) Associate the PDCCH and its scheduled PDSCH on the CORESET of at least one non-type 3 CSS, and enable the unified TCI function through the followUnifiedTCIstate parameter.
[0117] 3) For CSI-RS:
[0118] a) Periodic CSI-RS and semi-persistent CSI-RS cannot use unified TCI;
[0119] b) For aperiodic CSI-RS, when the associated QCL-info information is missing, the unified TCI function is used.
[0120] 4) For PUCCH or PUSCH, directly enable the unified TCI function.
[0121] 5) For SRS:
[0122] a) Enable the unified TCI function through the followUnifiedTCIstate parameter;
[0123] b) Configure this parameter in each SRS resource set;
[0124] c) Aperiodic SRS is only applicable to beam management, and any time-domain SRS type used for codebook, non-codebook, and antenna switching is valid.
[0125] 6. Regarding the effective time of beam indication.
[0126] 1)PDCCH
[0127] If the UE receives a MAC CE activation command indicating one of the TCI states, the UE takes effect from the activation command. , where k is the timeslot in which the UE sends a PUCCH activation command with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-ACKnowledge (HARQ-ACK) for the PDSCH (i.e., the HARQ-ACK of the activated MAC CE), and μ is the PDCCH subcarrier spacing (SCS). The activated bandwidth part (BWP) is defined as the BWP activated in the timeslot in which the activation command takes effect.
[0128] 2)PDSCH
[0129] MAC-CE activation effective time, PUCCH with HARQ-ACK (corresponding to PDSCH, MAC CE carries the activation command) in time slot (slot) n, effective time, that is, the mapping relationship between TCI state and DCI TCI domain is effective. The first time slot after , where μ is the SCS of PUCCH, that is, the MAC CE activation command takes effect 3 milliseconds (ms) after the corresponding HARQ-ACK.
[0130] DCI validity time. If tci-PresentInDCI is enabled or tci-PresentDCI-1-2 is configured in the CORESET that schedules PDSCH, the time offset between the received DCI and the scheduled PDSCH should be greater than or equal to timeDurationForQCL (if this parameter is reported).
[0131] 7. Regarding the effective date of unified TCI.
[0132] If only one codepoint corresponding to the TCI state is activated in the MAC CE, the effective time is the same as the legacy effective time;
[0133] If the TCI state for multiple codepoints is activated in the MAC CE, the TCI indicated in the DCI takes effect in the first slot Y symbols after the ACK corresponding to the DCI activation command is received. The gap between this effective slot and the last DCI symbol used for the beam indication must meet the UE capabilities. The Y symbol is configured by the network based on the capabilities reported by the UE. For Carrier Aggregation (CA), the first slot and Y symbol are determined by the carrier with the smallest SCS in Carrier Aggregation (CA).
[0134] 8. Regarding unknown or known TCI states.
[0135] The above are the switching times or effective times defined for known TCI states. However, for unknown TCIs, additional time needs to be added to the above switching times or effective times.
[0136] First, the definition of known TCI states is as follows:
[0137] 1) In the time from A to B, define the known condition TCI:
[0138] a) A, starting from the time when the RS transmission for L1-RSRP reporting is sent as the target TCI;
[0139] b)B, to TCI switching completed.
[0140] 2) Conditions for known TCI:
[0141] a) The TCI switch command is received within 1280ms of the above RS transmission.
[0142] b) Before receiving the TCI switching command, the UE needs to have sent at least one L1-RSRP report of the RS associated with the target TCI;
[0143] c) During the TCI switching time, from A to B, the TCI state is always detectable;
[0144] The condition for being detectable is that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the TCI state is greater than or equal to -3dB.
[0145] d) During the TCI switching time, from A to B, the SSB associated with the RS in the TCI state must still be detectable;
[0146] A TCI state that does not meet the known TCI state conditions is considered an unknown TCI state. For an unknown TCI state, the measurement time of the RS resources corresponding to the TCI needs to be increased.
[0147] In the present application, beam information includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: beam identification (ID) or index (Index) information, beam angle information, beam gain information, beam width information, expectation information, beam quality information, etc.
[0148] Among them, the beam ID or index information is used to characterize the relevant information of the identity identification of the beam, and the beam ID or index information includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: transmitting beam ID or index, receiving beam ID or index, beam ID or index, reference signal set ID or index corresponding to the beam, reference signal resource ID or index corresponding to the beam, uniquely identified random ID or index, coded value after additional AI network processing, beam angle information, resource index information, channel state information reference signal resource indicator (CSI-RS Resource Indicator, CRI), synchronization signal block resource indication (SS / PBCH Block Resource Indicator, SSBRI), etc.
[0149] The beam angle information is used to characterize the angle information corresponding to the beam, including but not limited to at least one of the following: angle-related information, sending angle-related information, and receiving angle-related information.
