Description

Information receiving and sending method and device Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology. Background Art

[0002] With the commercialization of fifth-generation (5G) communications, and particularly the large-scale deployment of the Industrial Internet, the demand for wireless positioning of terminal devices in wireless communications has increased significantly. Traditional wireless positioning relies on various technologies, such as TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival), E-CID (Enhanced Cell ID), and Multi-RTT (Multi-Round-Trip Time). These traditional positioning methods all have inherent flaws, resulting in poor positioning accuracy for terminal devices in various wireless environments or scenarios. This is particularly true in wireless environments with severe non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions, such as indoor factories (InF). Traditional positioning methods suffer from significant errors, often making them unacceptable. The fundamental reason for this is that traditional positioning methods struggle to accurately measure wireless channels with strong NLOS paths. Consequently, the resulting measurements often deviate significantly from the ideal values, leading to errors.

[0003] In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, represented by deep learning, have developed rapidly and, due to their powerful nonlinear fitting capabilities, have been applied in various research and commercial fields. Similarly, AI applications in wireless positioning evaluation have significantly improved performance compared to traditional methods. A notable characteristic of AI methods is that AI / ML models require training to meet performance requirements, and model training fundamentally requires sufficient training data.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is merely intended to provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of this application and facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Simply because these solutions are described in the background technology section of this application, it should not be assumed that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] However, the inventors discovered that the training data required for the AL / ML model may be generated, stored, and reported to the network side by the terminal device (UE). Since the amount of training data required for the AL / ML model is usually very large, the storage space of the terminal device may not be sufficient to support such a large amount of data. In addition, when the model is trained on the network side, the terminal device needs to report data to the network device to support model training. The transmission of massive data via the uplink air interface will inevitably cause a large overhead. Currently, in traditional positioning methods and related protocols, there is no solution to the above-mentioned problems of insufficient terminal device storage capacity and / or high reporting data overhead.

[0007] To address at least one of the above-mentioned issues, embodiments of the present application provide a method and apparatus for receiving and transmitting information. A terminal device stores and / or reports data based on configuration information sent by a network device, thereby resolving issues such as insufficient terminal device storage capacity and / or high data reporting overhead to the network.

[0055] Embodiments of the first aspect

[0056] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for receiving information, which is described from the perspective of a terminal device (UE).

[0057] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of an information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method includes:

[0058] 201. A terminal device receives configuration information sent by a network device, where the configuration information includes first information and / or second information; the first information is used to instruct the terminal device to store data; and the second information is used to instruct the terminal device to report data.

[0059] 202. The terminal device stores and / or reports data according to the configuration information.

[0060] It is worth noting that FIG2 above is merely a schematic illustration of an embodiment of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the execution order of the various operations may be appropriately adjusted, and other operations may be added or some operations may be reduced. Those skilled in the art may make appropriate modifications based on the above description, and are not limited to the description of FIG2 above.

[0061] In some embodiments, the data stored and / or reported by the terminal device may be training data required by the AI / ML model, for example, measurement data and label data obtained by the terminal device based on measurements.

[0062] In some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a UE; the network device 102 is, for example, a gNB, or a core network entity (such as a positioning management function (LMF, Location Management Function), a unified data management function (UDF, Unified Data Management) or an access mobility management function (AMF, Access and Mobility Management Function), or a high-level network entity (such as operation and maintenance management (OAM, Operation Administration and Maintenance), or a network-side OTT server (OTT-server, Over the top server), or it may also be a partial function or entity of any of the above devices.

[0063] In some embodiments, the configuration information may include the first information, or the second information, or the first information and the second information.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the configuration information includes first information, the terminal device may store data based on the first information. For example, the terminal device may store acquired data based on the first information, or acquire and store data based on the first information, thereby resolving issues with potentially insufficient storage capacity on the terminal device. When model training is performed on the terminal side, the terminal device supports model training based on the stored data.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the configuration information includes second information, the terminal device can report corresponding data to the network device based on the second information. For example, the terminal device can filter stored data based on the second information and report the filtered data; or the terminal device can obtain, filter, and report the filtered data based on the second information. In this way, when model training is performed on the network side, the terminal device reports data to the network device to support model training, which can avoid the high overhead caused by transmitting massive amounts of data to the network side via the uplink air interface.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the configuration information includes the first information and the second information, the terminal device can store data based on the first information, and the terminal device can report data to the network device based on the second information. The reported data at least includes the data stored based on the first information (all or part of the data), thereby solving the problem of insufficient storage capacity of the terminal device and the large overhead caused by the transmission of massive data to the network side via the uplink air interface.

[0067] Therefore, since the terminal device can store and / or report data based on the first information and / or second information in the received configuration information, the problem of insufficient storage capacity of the terminal device and / or high overhead in reporting data to the network side is solved.

[0068] In some embodiments, the configuration information may be carried by a dedicated (newly defined) configuration signaling, or may be carried by existing configuration information. For example, the dedicated configuration signaling may be a newly defined configuration information that is different from the existing configuration information. For example, it may be a newly defined configuration signaling that serves the AI / ML data collection process. Specifically, it may be a newly defined configuration signaling for the AI / ML model training data collection process. For example, the existing configuration information may be a measurement configuration signaling sent by a network device to a terminal device, or a measurement reporting configuration signaling sent by a network device to a terminal device, or a capability reporting configuration signaling sent by a network device to a terminal device, etc.

[0069] In some embodiments, the configuration information may be carried by high-layer signaling, such as LPP signaling and / or RRC signaling, but is not limited thereto and may be carried by other signaling, which will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Embodiments of the second aspect

[0076] It is worth noting that FIG3 above is merely a schematic illustration of an embodiment of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the execution order of the various operations may be appropriately adjusted, and other operations may be added or some operations may be reduced.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first information includes third information and / or fourth information; the third information is used to indicate the type of data stored by the terminal device (e.g., indicating the category of data stored by the terminal device, i.e., what type of data is stored), and the fourth information is used to indicate the data to be stored by the terminal device (e.g., the content of the stored data). In this way, the terminal device can select (optimize) the data to be stored based on the third information and / or fourth information included in the first information, thereby saving storage space of the terminal device and solving the problem of insufficient storage capacity of the terminal device.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the first information includes the third information, the terminal device stores data corresponding to the type of data indicated by the third information; when the first information includes the fourth information, the terminal device may store the data content indicated by the fourth information; when the first information includes the third information and the fourth information, the terminal device stores the data indicated by the third information, and then optimizes and stores it according to the fourth information. The terminal device at least stores data (partial or all data) corresponding to the type of data indicated by the third information.

[0079] In some embodiments, the method may further include 303 (optional), where the terminal device selects corresponding data based on the first information. For example, when the first information includes third information, the terminal device selects data corresponding to the type of data indicated by the third information; when the first information includes fourth information, the terminal device may select the data content indicated by the fourth information; when the first information includes third information and fourth information, the terminal device selects corresponding data based on the third information and fourth information; wherein the selected data includes at least data (partial or complete data) corresponding to the type of data indicated by the third information.

For example, the terminal device may obtain accurate label data based on the current positioning technology, such as by using PRU (Positioning Reference Unit) and other positioning technologies such as GNSS, WIFI, etc.

[0087] In some embodiments, the auxiliary information includes at least one of the following:

[0090] Classification information and / or suitability information associated with the measurement data and / or label data, where the classification information and / or suitability information is used to classify the data into at least two categories for AI / ML model training.

[0091] In some embodiments, information associated with the time configuration information of the measurement data may be, for example, timestamp information, for example, absolute timestamp information, relative timestamp information; or timestamp information when the reference signal is sent, timestamp information when the reference signal is received, or timestamp information for real-time measurement. This embodiment is not limited to this and may also include other timestamp information, which will not be repeated here.

For example, the other spatial applicability information may include scenario information, site information, etc., transceiver node (TRP, Transmission Reception Point) information, etc.; information associated with the time and space configuration of the processed data may be, for example, reference signal configuration (RS Configuration) information, DL-PRS configuration information, UL-SRS configuration information, etc. This embodiment is not limited to this.

[0092] In some embodiments, quality information related to the tag data (or quality-related information) can be used to measure the quality of the tag data, and may include at least one of the following: error information, error level or range information, confidence information, and accuracy information. However, the present application is not limited to this, and the quality information may also be other information, such as signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) information, reference signal received power (RSRP) information, data source information, wireless environment information, and further information such as status or statistical information and evaluation index information. For example, after obtaining the tag data, the terminal device may perform operations such as statistics, calculations, and screening to obtain quality information of the tag data. That is, the terminal device may expand and enhance the content of the auxiliary information so that the auxiliary information includes the quality information, and the quality information may help the network device perform various model-related optimizations or actions to improve the accuracy of wireless positioning.

[0093] In some embodiments, the quality information may be reported corresponding to the tag data. For example, for each of the above tag data, one or more of the above quality information may be included. For example, the tag data includes location information, then the terminal device may obtain any one or more of the following corresponding to the location information: error information, error level or range information, confidence information, accuracy information, SINR information, RSRP information. For another example, if the tag data includes time information, then the terminal device may obtain any one or more of the following corresponding to the time information: error information, error level or range information, confidence information, accuracy information, SINR information, RSRP information. For another example, if the tag data includes angle information, then the terminal device may obtain any one or more of the following corresponding to the angle information: error information, error level or range information, confidence information, accuracy information, SINR information, RSRP information.

[0094] In some embodiments, classification information and / or applicability information related to measurement data and / or label data is used to divide the data into at least two categories of data for AI / ML model training, for example, at least first data and second data, wherein the first data is used for first AI / ML model training and the second data is used for second AI / ML model training.

[0095] In some embodiments, the classification information related to the measurement data and / or label data includes at least AL / ML model classification information; the applicability information related to the measurement data and / or label data includes at least regional applicability information, and may also include site applicability information, cell applicability information, floor applicability information, scenario applicability information, TRP applicability information, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0097] In some embodiments, the identification information for identifying the data includes first identification information for identifying measurement data or label data or auxiliary information; and / or includes second identification information for identifying a single data sample, and / or third identification information for identifying at least 2 data samples; the data sample includes at least measurement data and label data that satisfy a time and / or space correspondence relationship.

[0098] For example, the first identification information is information for identifying a single data (such as measurement data, tag data, auxiliary information), such as data identification information, such as an identifier corresponding to a measurement data (such as CIR / PDP);

[0099] For example, the second identification information is information for identifying a data sample, such as single sample identification information, where the single sample includes multiple data, for example, at least measurement data and label data that satisfy a time and / or space correspondence relationship, such as a piece of measurement data CIR / PDP and its corresponding true value data UE coordinates, but is not limited thereto, and may further include auxiliary information, etc., as shown in the following table:

[0104] Thus, the terminal device can verify (screen) and / or quantify the data to be stored according to the fourth information, and store the verified (screened) and / or quantified data, which can save the storage space of the terminal device and thus solve the problem of insufficient storage capacity of the terminal device.

[0105] In some embodiments, when the fourth information includes verification information, the terminal device verifies the data based on the verification information to filter out data that meets the requirements and eliminate data that does not meet the requirements, so as to improve the performance of applications or functions that use the data (such as AI / ML model training) and save storage space of the terminal device, thereby solving the problem of insufficient storage capacity of the terminal device.

[0106] In some embodiments, the verification information includes conditions for filtering data; and the terminal device filters data that meets the conditions, such that the data stored by the terminal device includes at least the filtered data. For example, the conditions can be pre-configured, such as by a network device and sent to the terminal device, but is not limited thereto.

[0107] In some embodiments, the condition, for example, may correspond to various data types indicated by the third information, and at least include conditions set for measurement data (such as channel measurement time, phase, power, and / or path), and / or label data, and / or auxiliary information, and / or identification information; for example, the condition includes conditions related to measurement data, and / or label data, and / or auxiliary information, and / or identification information; wherein,

[0108] The condition related to the measurement data includes at least one of the following:

[0109] Condition information related to channel measurement phase;

[0117] The following examples illustrate:

[0118] Example 1: Conditional information related to channel measurement phase: Data with a phase value interval of x1-x2 is stored, where the value range of x1 and x2 is 0-360 degrees or -180-180 degrees.

[0119] Example 2: Condition information related to channel measurement time: data between time T1 and T2 is stored, where T1 and T2 represent time;

[0120] Example 3: Condition information related to channel measurement power: data with a power value greater than y (dBm or W) is stored;

[0121] Example 4, condition information related to the channel measurement path: the z-th path data is stored, and the value range of z is a positive integer;

[0122] Example 5, conditional information related to the quality information related to the label data: data with an error less than k meters is stored, where k is a natural number greater than 0;

[0123] Example 6, conditional information related to classification information and / or applicability information: For example, storing relevant data of the Mth type of model, such as storing relevant data applicable to region N, where the value range of MN is a positive integer;

[0124] Example 7, conditional information related to the new identifier, such as setting "store data identified as 0", where 0 is a positive integer;

[0125] Example 8, any combination of the above examples 1 to 7;

[0126] The above is only a specific example, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. The condition may also be other preset condition information, which will not be described in detail here.

[0127] In some embodiments, the condition can be indicated by a bit-width method. For example, in the CSI measurement report, the phase is reported by 8PSK, and 3 bits are used to indicate 8 angles. For example, 001 indicates a phase of 30 degrees, which means that data with a phase value greater than 30 degrees in the measurement data is stored. However, this is not limited to this, and other methods can also be used for indication, such as a set of conditions given in a predefined manner, which will not be listed here one by one.

[0128] In some embodiments, when the fourth information includes data quantization information, the terminal device may compress the data according to the data quantization information, and may also save storage space of the terminal device, thereby solving the problem of insufficient storage capacity of the terminal device.

[0129] In some embodiments, the data quantization information can be configured by a network device and notified to the terminal device. When configuring the data quantization information, the network device can also configure which data (data type) and / or measurement type the quantization information corresponds to. That is, the data quantization information includes at least a quantization method corresponding to the data type and / or measurement type. The quantization method includes at least uniform quantization and non-uniform quantization, and each data (data type) and / or measurement type has a corresponding quantization method.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the fourth information includes verification information and data quantization information, the terminal device can verify and compress the data based on the verification information and data quantization information, which can further save the storage space of the terminal device, thereby solving the problem of insufficient storage capacity of the terminal device.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first information includes third information and fourth information, and the terminal device may store data corresponding to the type of data indicated by the third information. In addition, the terminal device may further verify (screen) and / or quantify the data to be stored based on the fourth information, and store the verified (screened) and / or quantified data, which can further save storage space on the terminal device, thereby resolving the issue of insufficient storage capacity on the terminal device.

In addition, the fifth information may also include indication information indicating the following data: auxiliary information corresponding to the measurement data and / or identification information for identifying the data; the auxiliary information is used to classify and / or judge the applicability of the measurement data and / or label data.
