Description

Information transmission method and device

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on February 6, 2024, with application number 202410170508.X and application name “Information Transmission Method and Device,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information transmission method and device. Background Art

[0003] With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI / ML models are being used in related technologies to improve communication system performance. For AI positioning, AI / ML models can be deployed on the user equipment / terminal (UE), the next generation Node B (gNB), and the location management function (LMF). When the AI ​​model is deployed on the LMF, the UE / gNB determines measurement quantities through measurement, which are then sent to the LMF. The LMF then determines the input for the AI / ML model based on the received measurement quantities. However, the measurement quantities collected by the LMF may come from multiple UEs / gNBs, and the formats or requirements of the measurement quantities sent by multiple UEs / gNBs may not be consistent. Training the AI / ML model based on measurement quantities with inconsistent formats will affect the performance of AI positioning. Alternatively, during model inference / model update / model monitoring, if the AI / ML model is deployed on the UE side / gNB side, in the absence of some prior information or auxiliary information, the format of the measurement quantity determined by the UE / gNB may be inconsistent with the format of the measurement quantity used to determine the AI / ML model input during the model training phase. In this case, the performance of AI positioning will also be affected. Summary of the Invention

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure only take a base station in a New Radio (NR) system as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0228] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following description is first given.

[0229] Wireless communication systems present numerous challenges: nonlinear problems, the time complexity of calculating optimal solutions, some problems that are difficult to accurately describe using formulas or models, the accumulation of errors between different modules in the wireless link, which prevents overall optimization, and the increasing difficulty of optimizing due to non-ideal factors in real applications. AI / ML has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in Internet fields such as image recognition and speech recognition. Currently, both academic research and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) are exploring the capabilities of AI / ML in wireless communication systems. Research on AI / ML began in NR Release 17. NR Release 18 will further explore the potential of AI / ML at the air interface physical layer, for example, to improve performance metrics such as throughput, accuracy, reliability, and robustness, and to reduce resource overhead.

[0230] For AI positioning, the AI / ML model directly outputs the UE's position in direct AI / ML positioning, while it outputs intermediate measurements, such as the time of arrival (ToA), in AI / ML assisted positioning. For AI positioning, the AI / ML model can be deployed on the UE, gNB, or LMF side. When deployed on the UE / gNB side, the UE / gNB determines the measurement quantity by measuring the downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) and the uplink sounding reference signal (UL-SRS) used for positioning. The uplink positioning sounding reference signal used for positioning can also be described as UL-SRS-pos, and then determines the input of the AI / ML model based on the measurement quantity. When deployed on the LMF side, the UE / gNB determines the measurement quantity by measuring the DL-PRS / UL-SRS-pos, and sends the measurement quantity to the LMF. The LMF determines the input of the AI / ML model based on the received measurement quantity.

[0231] In the lifecycle management of AI / ML models or AI / ML functions, processes such as data collection, model training, model inference, and model monitoring all require collecting / determining the input of the AI / ML model. At this time, some auxiliary information is needed to help better understand the format or requirements of the AI / ML model input.

[0232] When the AI ​​model performs inference, the input of the AI ​​model can be the channel-related information / measurement quantity obtained by the UE measuring the DL-PRS sent by the Transmission-Reception Point (TRP); or, the input of the AI ​​model can be the channel-related information / measurement quantity obtained by the TRP measuring the UL-SRS-pos sent by the UE, and the output of the AI / ML model can be the UE position or an intermediate quantity used to determine the UE position. Channel-related information can be a channel impulse response (CIR) or a channel frequency response (CFR) or a power delay profile (PDP) or a delay profile (DP), etc.

[0233] For AI positioning, the first implementation method in the related technology is: the AI ​​model is deployed on the UE side, and the output of the AI ​​model is an intermediate quantity used to determine the UE position (AI / ML assisted positioning). The AI ​​model output can be ToA, Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD), etc., or the output of the AI ​​model is the UE position. The second implementation method is: the AI ​​model is deployed on the gNB / TRP side, and the output of the AI ​​model is an intermediate quantity used to determine the UE position (AI / ML assisted positioning). The AI ​​model output can be ToA, Relative Time of Arrival (RToA), etc. The third implementation method is to deploy the AI / ML model on the LMF side.

[0234] For the first implementation method mentioned above, the AI / ML model is deployed on the UE side. The UE determines the measurement quantity by measuring the DL-PRS, and then determines the input of the AI / ML model based on the measurement quantity. For the second implementation method, the AI / ML model is deployed on the gNB / TRP side. The gNB / TRP determines the measurement quantity by measuring the UL-SRS-pos, and then determines the input of the AI / ML model based on the measurement quantity. For the third implementation method, the UE / gNB / TRP determines the measurement quantity by measuring the DL-PRS / UL-SRS-pos, and then sends the measurement quantity to the LMF to determine the input of the AI / ML model.

[0235] When the AI ​​model is deployed on the LMF side, the UE / Positioning Reference Unit (PRU) / gNB determines measurement quantities through measurement. The UE / PRU / gNB sends these measurement quantities to the LMF, which then determines the inputs for the AI / ML model based on the received measurement quantities. However, the measurement quantities collected by the LMF may come from multiple UEs / PRUs / gNBs. These measurement quantities may not be in the same format or meet the same requirements. Training the AI / ML model based on these inconsistent measurement quantities can affect the performance of AI positioning.

[0236] The measurement quantities used in related technologies mainly include CIR, PDP, and 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.

[0237] CIR can be presented in the following ways: CIR can include power and phase information at continuous time sampling points related to channel response; CIR can also include only the time sample points with the strongest power related to the channel response and the power and phase information at these sample points (sample); CIR can also include power and phase information corresponding to several paths related to the channel response, etc.

[0238] PDP can be presented in the following ways: PDP can include power information at continuous time sampling points related to channel response; PDP can also include only the time sample points with the strongest power related to channel response and the power information at these sample points; PDP can also include time information and power information corresponding to several paths related to channel response, etc.

[0239] DP can be presented in the following ways: DP can include continuous time sampling points related to channel response, for example, by representing time information by 0 or 1 on continuous time sampling points; DP can also include only the time information corresponding to the time sample 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.

[0240] Here, sample is a time domain sampling point obtained by sampling the time domain channel response according to the sampling frequency / sampling interval, etc., and path is a path determined according to the peak value of the time domain channel response.

[0241] The information transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0242] As shown in Figure 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is performed by a first communication device, the first communication device including a terminal or a network side device (such as a base station) or an LMF, and the method includes:

[0246] Step 202: Determine a first measurement quantity according to the first auxiliary information.

[0247] The first measurement quantity is a measurement quantity that satisfies the requirement information indicated by the first auxiliary information.

[0248] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, first auxiliary information is obtained, where the first auxiliary information is used to indicate requirement information that a measurement quantity must meet. Based on the first auxiliary information, a first measurement quantity that meets the requirement information indicated by the first auxiliary information can be determined. Subsequently, various processes in the lifecycle management of an AI / ML model or an AI / ML method, such as an AI / ML model training process and an AI / ML model inference process, can be performed based on the first measurement quantity that meets the specific requirement information (i.e., a first measurement quantity with unified format information). That is, the format of the measurement quantity in each process is ensured to be consistent, thereby effectively improving the inference performance of the AI / ML model or the AI / ML method, and further improving the performance of AI positioning.

[0253] The above-mentioned second communication device may be a terminal, and the first communication device may be an LMF or a third-party entity. When the terminal collects data, the first communication device obtains the first auxiliary information sent by the second communication device, so that the first communication device can determine the required information that the measurement quantity needs to meet through the first auxiliary information. Here, the first communication device may send the obtained first auxiliary information to the PRU, the positioning reference unit determines the first measurement quantity based on the first auxiliary information and sends the determined first measurement quantity to the first communication device, and the first communication device sends the first measurement quantity to the second communication device; or the first communication device obtains the measurement quantity sent by the positioning reference unit, the first communication device determines the first measurement quantity that meets the required information among the measurement quantities based on the first auxiliary information, and the first communication device sends the first measurement quantity to the second communication device.

[0254] The above-mentioned second communication device can be a terminal, and the first communication device can be a positioning reference unit. When the terminal collects data, the first communication device obtains the first auxiliary information sent by the second communication device, so that the first communication device can determine the required information that the measurement amount needs to meet through the first auxiliary information, and determine the first measurement amount based on the first auxiliary information. The first communication device sends the first measurement amount to the second communication device.

[0255] By determining the input of the first object based on the first measurement quantity, the first communication device can use the measurement quantity in a unified format in each process of the lifecycle management of the AI / ML model or AI / ML method, thereby effectively improving the reasoning performance of the AI / ML model or AI / ML method.

[0256] In some embodiments, the method of the present disclosure further includes:

[0257] A second measurement amount and requirement information satisfied by the second measurement amount are sent, wherein the second measurement amount is a measurement amount that does not satisfy the requirement information indicated by the first auxiliary information.

[0258] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in addition to transmitting a first measurement metric that meets the requirements indicated by the first assistance information, a first communications device may also transmit a second measurement metric that does not meet the requirements indicated by the first assistance information, and simultaneously transmit requirement information that the second measurement metric meets, so that the second communications device can determine a format or requirement information related to the second measurement metric based on the requirement information.

[0266] For example, the first auxiliary information indicates that the number of paths in the measurement quantity is M, where M is an integer.

[0267] The fourth item: the maximum number of target objects in the measurement volume.

[0268] Fifth item: the minimum number of target objects in the measurement.

[0269] For example, the second communications device indicates the minimum number of sample points whose RSRP is not equal to 0 included in the measurement amount sent by the first communications device.

[0299] In the solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure, first auxiliary information is sent to the first communication device by the second communication device, so that the first communication device can obtain a first measurement quantity that meets the requirements indicated by the first auxiliary information. Subsequently, the measurement quantity in a unified format can be used in various processes in the lifecycle management of the AI / ML model or AI / ML method, thereby effectively improving the reasoning performance of the AI / ML model or AI / ML method, and thus improving the performance of AI positioning.

[0300] The information transmission method disclosed herein is described below with reference to embodiments.

[0301] Example 1:

[0302] The LMF / third-party entity collects data, which may be used for model training / model inference / model update / model monitoring. The LMF / third-party entity provides first assistance information to help the UE / gNB / PRU determine the measurement value. The UE / gNB / PRU sends the determined measurement value to the LMF.

[0303] The process specifically includes:

[0304] Step 1: The LMF / third-party entity sends first auxiliary information to the UE / gNB / PRU. The first auxiliary information is information indicating the requirements that the measurement quantity needs to meet.

[0305] The AI / ML model can be deployed on the UE, gNB, or LMF. If the model is deployed on the LMF, the UE / gNB / PRU sends the obtained measurement parameters to the LMF / third-party entity. The LMF / third-party entity then sends first assistance information to the UE / gNB / PRU to help the UE / gNB determine the measurement parameters. These measurement parameters can include CIR, PDP, DP, RSTD, RToA, and so on.

[0306] Step 2: The UE / gNB / PRU determines a first measurement quantity based on the first assistance information and sends the first measurement quantity to the LMF or a third-party entity. The following two methods can be considered to send the measurement quantity to the LMF:

[0307] Method 1: Send CIR / PDP / DP and other measurement quantities based on the legacy path method. In this case, enhancements are made to the legacy method.

[0308] Method 2: Send CIR / PDP / DP and other measurement quantities based on samples;

[0309] In this case, how to determine whether to send per-path or per-sample measurements may support the following solutions:

[0310] Solution 1: The protocol supports only one measurement value sending method: per path or per sample.

[0311] Solution 2: The protocol supports multiple measurement sending methods, including per path and per sample:

[0312] Specifically, the LMF / third-party entity indicates a measurement quantity sending method, and the UE / gNB / PRU sends it based on the LMF's instruction; or, when the UE / gNB / PRU sends the measurement quantity, there is additional indication information indicating the specific sending method.

[0313] For mode 1, when sending measurement values ​​based on the path, the first auxiliary information that the LMF / third-party entity needs to provide includes at least one of the following:

[0314] B1: The maximum time range corresponding to the N't paths included in the measurement quantity. In this case, the maximum time range is the maximum time range between the time corresponding to the first path and the time corresponding to the N't path among the N't paths; or, the maximum time range corresponding to any path among the N't paths relative to a reference time point. Here, the reference time point can be determined by the UE / gNB / PRU or indicated by the LMF / third-party entity.

[0315] B2: The interval between any two adjacent samples in the time domain is the same. When the time domain information of the measurement quantity related to the AI / ML model input is sample-based, the LMF side may map the time information of N't paths sent to the time domain samples (for example, to Nt samples). The time information corresponding to the samples should have a certain range when uniformly collecting data. In this case, the interval between any two adjacent samples in the time domain is equal, that is, the samples are equally spaced.

[0316] B3: The number of N't paths included in the measurement;

[0317] B4: The maximum and / or minimum number of N't paths included in the measurement;

[0318] B5: The time interval corresponding to the time domain samples included in the measurement quantity. The UE / gNB needs to limit the interval step size or interval granularity of the time information of the measurement quantity sent by the path to an integer multiple of the time interval corresponding to the time domain samples indicated by the LMF to ensure that the path can be accurately mapped to the sample points. In related technologies, the variable Tc = (1 / (4096*480e3)). The time interval indicated by the LMF can be in units of Tc, for example, the time interval is 2^n*Tc.

[0319] B6: LMF side indicates the determination rule of N't paths:

[0320] (a) N't paths are N't paths with equal intervals, and the LMF indication / protocol stipulates the interval;

[0321] (b) Indicator type of the N't paths: The UE / gNB / PRU determines the N't paths based on the indicator type. The indicator type includes at least one of the following: a time indicator, a signal energy indicator, a signal interference strength indicator, and a LOS / NLOS indicator.

[0322] (c) N't paths are the N't paths with the strongest RSRPP within the first time range;

[0323] (d) N't paths are the N't paths whose RSRPP exceeds the RSRPP threshold within the second time range;

[0324] (d) The minimum time interval that needs to be satisfied by two adjacent N't paths, i.e., the time corresponding to two adjacent paths needs to exceed this minimum time interval to prevent the UE from continuously sending multiple paths with consecutive RSRPP strong times very close to each other;

[0325] (f) Requirements and restrictions between the first target object (first path) and the second target object (additional path), or requirements and restrictions between the second target objects, specifically including at least one of the following:

[0326] (f1) The difference between the time corresponding to the additional path and the time corresponding to the first path needs to satisfy a third time range, for example, the time range includes the maximum and minimum values ​​of the difference;

[0327] (f2) a fourth time range that the time difference between adjacent additional paths must satisfy;

[0328] (f3) a first energy range (or first power range) that the difference between the energy corresponding to the additional path and the energy corresponding to the first path must satisfy. For example, the energy range includes a maximum value and a minimum value of the difference.

[0329] (f4) A second energy range (second power range) that the time difference between adjacent additional path energies must satisfy.

[0330] For mode 2, when sending measurement values ​​based on samples, the LMF / third-party entity needs to provide at least one of the following first auxiliary information:

[0331] C1: The time interval between two adjacent samples in the Nt samples included in the measurement;

[0332] C2: The number of Nt samples included in the measurement;

[0333] C3: The maximum time range corresponding to Nt samples included in the measurement;

[0334] C4: The minimum number of N't samples included in the measurement quantity, for example, the minimum number of samples with non-zero RSRPP values ​​included in the measurement quantity sent by the UE / gNB.

[0335] C5: the reference time point (first reference time) and / or the deviation (deviation information) relative to the reference time point when the time information corresponding to the measurement quantity is determined. For example, the difference between the time point corresponding to the first sample included in the measurement quantity and the reference time point meets the above deviation.

[0336] C6: Rules for determining N't samples:

[0337] The determination rule of LMF indicating N't paths is similar to that in the above method 1, except that path is changed to sample;

[0338] C7: When the consecutive samples included in N't samples are X, LMF indicates the maximum value of X.

[0339] It should be noted that when the LMF / third-party entity provides first assistance information, the UE / gNB / PRU may either transmit N't sample / path measurements according to the first assistance information provided by the LMF, or may transmit according to the optimal transmission method and provide information corresponding to the optimal transmission method. For example, if the LMF specifies that path-based transmission of measurement measurements is preferable, if the UE / gNB / PRU determines that sample-based transmission is more appropriate, the UE / gNB / PRU may transmit based on samples and provide information indicating that the measurement measurements are transmitted based on samples.

[0340] Embodiment 2: The AI / ML model is deployed on the UE / gNB side, and the LMF / third-party entity provides first auxiliary information to help the UE / gNB determine the measurement amount. The UE / gNB determines the input of the AI / ML model based on the determined measurement amount.

[0341] The process specifically includes:

[0342] Step 1: The LMF / third-party entity sends first assistance information to the UE / gNB. The first assistance information is information indicating the requirements that the measurement quantity needs to meet.

[0343] This embodiment differs from the embodiment in that the UE / gNB does not send the measurement amount, but directly determines the first measurement amount based on the first auxiliary information, and further determines the input of the AI / ML model.

[0344] The first auxiliary information that the LMF / third-party entity needs to provide includes at least one of the following:

[0345] D1: The measurement includes the maximum time range corresponding to N't paths;

[0346] D2: the number of N't paths;

[0347] D3: The maximum and / or minimum number of N't paths included in the measurement;

[0348] D4: Rules for determining N't paths / samples:

[0349] (a) N't paths are N't paths with equal intervals, and the LMF indication / protocol stipulates the interval;

[0350] (b) Indicator type of the N't paths: The UE / gNB determines the N't paths based on the indicator type. The indicator type includes at least one of the following: a time indicator, a signal energy indicator, a signal interference strength indicator, and a LOS / NLOS indicator.

[0351] (c) N't paths are the N't paths with the strongest RSRPP within the first time range;

[0352] (d) N't paths are the N't paths whose RSRPP exceeds the RSRPP threshold within the second time range;

[0353] (e) The minimum time interval that needs to be satisfied between two adjacent N't paths;

[0354] (f) requirements and restrictions between a first target object (first path) and a second target object (additional path), or requirements and restrictions between additional targets;

[0355] D5: The measurement quantity includes the time interval between two adjacent samples in Nt samples;

[0356] D6: The measurement quantity includes the number of Nt samples;

[0357] D7: The measurement includes the maximum time range corresponding to Nt samples;

[0358] D8: The minimum number of N't samples included in the measurement quantity, i.e., the minimum number of samples with RSRPP not equal to 0 included in the measurement quantity sent by the UE / gNB;

[0359] D9: the reference time point (first reference time) and / or the deviation (deviation information) relative to the reference time point when the time information corresponding to the measurement quantity is determined. For example, the difference between the time point corresponding to the first sample included in the measurement quantity and the reference time point meets the above deviation.

[0360] D10: When the consecutive samples included in N't samples are X, LMF indicates the maximum value of X.

[0361] Step 2: The UE / gNB determines a first measurement quantity based on the auxiliary information, and determines an input of the AI / ML model based on the first measurement quantity.

[0362] As shown in FIG3 , an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an information transmission method, which is performed by a second communication device. The method includes:

[0363] Step 301: Send first auxiliary information, where the first auxiliary information is used to indicate requirement information that a measurement quantity needs to meet, where the measurement quantity is a measurement quantity related to an input of a first object; the first object includes a first artificial intelligence AI / machine learning ML model and / or a first AI / ML method.

[0364] The second communication device sends first auxiliary information to the first communication device. The second communication device includes a LMF or a third-party entity or a terminal. The first communication device includes a terminal or a network-side device (such as a base station) or a LMF.

[0365] In some embodiments, the measurement quantity of the embodiments of the present disclosure includes at least one of the following: channel impulse response CIR; power delay profile PDP; delay profile DP.

[0366] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a second communication device sends first auxiliary information to a first communication device, where the first auxiliary information is used to indicate requirement information that a measurement quantity needs to meet. Based on the first auxiliary information, the first communication device can determine a first measurement quantity that meets the requirement information indicated by the first auxiliary information, so that various processes in the lifecycle management of an AI / ML model or an AI / ML method, such as an AI / ML model training process and an AI / ML model inference process, can be subsequently performed based on the first measurement quantity that meets the specific requirement information (i.e., the first measurement quantity with unified format information). That is, the format of the measurement quantity in each process is ensured to be consistent, thereby effectively improving the inference performance of the AI / ML model or AI / ML method, and thereby improving the performance of AI positioning.

[0367] In some embodiments, the method of the present disclosure further includes:
