[0050] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided by this application, the main technical concepts involved in the embodiments of this application are briefly described below.

[0051] 1. Artificial Intelligence

[0052] AI is currently being widely used in various fields. For example, in the communications sector, integrating AI into wireless communication networks to significantly improve technical indicators such as throughput, latency, and user capacity is a key task for future wireless communication networks.

[0053] In specific applications, the AI ​​module can be implemented based on a variety of methods such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, Bayesian classifiers, etc. This application mainly uses neural networks as an example to illustrate the AI ​​module, but it does not limit the implementation method of the AI ​​module.

[0054] Referring to the neural network diagram shown in Figure 2, a neural network primarily comprises layers such as an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. A neural network layer may contain one or more neurons. Here, X1, X2, …, Xn represent the inputs of the neural network, and Y represents the outputs of the neural network.

[0055] Referring to the schematic diagram of a neuron as shown in FIG3 , the output of the neuron can be determined by the following formula: z=a1w1+…+a k w k +…+a K w K +b

[0056] Among them, a1,…,a k ,…,a K represents the input of the neuron; w1,…,w k ,…,w Krepresents the weight (multiplicative coefficient); b represents the bias (additive coefficient); z represents the output of the neuron, which will be further nonlinearly processed by the activation function σ(.). The activation function can be an S-shaped growth curve (Sigmoid), a hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), a linear rectification function (Rectified Linear Unit, ReLU, also known as a rectified linear unit), etc.

[0057] The parameters of neural networks are mainly optimized using gradient optimization algorithms, which are a type of algorithm that minimizes or maximizes an objective function (sometimes called a loss function), and the objective function is often a mathematical combination of model parameters and data.

[0058] For example, given data X and its corresponding label Y, a neural network model f(.) is constructed that can predict the output f(x) based on the input x. When the input x is data X, the loss function is calculated by calculating the difference (f(x) - Y) between the predicted output f(x) and the true value (i.e., label Y). The goal of parameter optimization is to find the appropriate model parameters W and b to minimize the value of this loss function. It is understandable that the smaller the loss value, the closer the model's predicted output is to the true situation.

[0059] Neural network parameter optimization algorithms include gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent (SGD), mini-batch gradient descent, momentum, stochastic gradient descent with momentum (also known as Nesterov (named after its inventor)), adaptive gradient descent (Adagrad), adaptive learning rate optimization algorithm based on gradient descent (Adaptive delta, Adadelta), root mean square error propagation (RMSprop), and adaptive moment estimation (Adam). During error backpropagation, these parameter optimization algorithms all calculate the derivative (or partial derivative) of the current neuron based on the error (or loss) obtained from the loss function, and then calculate the gradient based on influencing parameters such as the learning rate, the previous gradient or derivative (or partial derivative), and pass the gradient to the neurons in the previous layer.

[0060] 2. Non-AI CSI Compression

[0061] The non-AI CSI compression in the protocol mainly includes type I, type II and enhanced type II.

[0062] 1. Type I CSI

[0063] Type I mainly needs to report the index of the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (DFT) vector and its phase rotation. When there is no way to report the complete channel or precoder, it reports the precoding matrix indicator (PMI) of the wideband or subband, that is, a two-dimensional DFT vector and its phase rotation on the wideband or subband.

[0064] Type I reporting format:

[0065] For broadband CSI:

[0066] Rank Indication-Precoding Matrix Indicator-Channel Quality Indicator (RI-PMI-CQI), where RI>4 corresponds to 2 transport blocks (TBs) and two CQIs need to be reported accordingly; otherwise, one CQI needs to be reported.

[0067] For sub-band CSI:

[0068] Part 1: CSI: RI and CQI of the first TB;

[0069] Part 2 CSI: wideband CQI-wideband PMI-CQI and PMI of even subbands-CQI and PMI of odd subbands.

[0070] Among them, the reporting format of type I has the following omission principle: part2CSI is omitted based on priority, that is, the reporting of odd subbands can be omitted first.

[0071] 2. Type IICSI

[0072] Type II requires reporting the basis vector index and its projection (amplitude and phase) on the basis vector. Compared to simply reporting a two-dimensional DFT vector and its phase rotation, type II represents the PMI as a linear weighted sum of a set of basis vectors.

[0073] Type II reporting format:

[0074] Part 1: RI-CQI - the number of non-zero wideband amplitude coefficients (encoded separately for each layer);

[0075] Part 2: Broadband PMI {L vector (basis vector)}-PMI-LI {i 1,4,l (Broadband Amplitude 1), i 2,1,l (Phase), i 2,2, l (amplitude 2)}; where amplitude 1 occupies 3 bits in scalar mode, and amplitude 2 occupies 1 bit.

[0076] 3. Enhanced type IICSI

[0077] Because Type II has a high overhead of hundreds or even thousands of bits, Enhanced Type II was designed to further compress Type II. Enhanced Type II compresses the vector of weighting coefficients for different subbands into a vector consisting of a set of frequency-domain basis vectors.

[0078] Reporting format for enhanced type II:

[0079] Part 1: RI-CQI - the number of non-zero wideband amplitude coefficients (encoded separately for each layer);

[0080] Part 2: PMI:i 2,4,l Amplitude, i 2,5,l Phase, i 1,7,l {report bitmap}.

[0081] The priority value Pri(l, i, f) reported by the CSI information can be determined by the following formula: Pri(l, i, f) = 2·L·υ·π(f)+υ·i+l

[0082] Where l is the layer index; i is the spatial basis vector index, i = 0, 1, ..., 2L-1; f is the frequency domain basis vector index, f = 0, 1, ..., M v -1,M v is the maximum number of basis vectors in the frequency domain corresponding to the number of layers v; L is the number of basis vectors in the spatial domain; v is the number of layers; π(f) and f are the frequency domain basis vectors, and π(f) has the highest priority when it is the strongest, that is, the 0th frequency domain vector, π(f) = {…3, 1, 0, 2, 4}, π(0) = 0, π(N3-1) = 1, π(1) = 2.

[0083] Among them, the frequency domain basis vector π(f) can be determined by the following formula:

[0084] Where l = 1, 2, ..., υ, v is the number of layers; N3 is the number of frequency domain basis vectors, is the codebook index.

[0085] It should be noted that Part 2 above uses a feedback method that uniformly compresses all subbands. The information represented by each bit position in the compressed information stream is as follows:

[0086] 0: L spatial basis vectors i 1,1 ,i 1,2 And the strongest coefficient information of each layer {log2 2L bit}i 1,8,l (l=1,…,υ);

[0087] 1: M frequency domain basis vectors (i 1,5 (if reported), i 1,6,l (if reported), reference amplitude information i 2,3,l , the highest priority v2LM-[KNZ / 2]bit in the non-zero coefficient position, i 1,7,l , v is the rank, v2LM-[KNZ / 2] coefficients with the highest priority {i 2,4,l ,i 2,5,l};

[0088] 2: The coefficient with the lowest priority [KNZ / 2] among the non-zero coefficient positions.

[0089] 3. AI-based CSI or PMI compression

[0090] 4 shows a schematic diagram of the compression and decompression process, W N*B Indicates the expected or target CSI (or codebook) of the user equipment (UE), N indicates the number of CSI ports, and B indicates the number of subbands. The user equipment generates W through the CSI generation model, that is, through the AI-based compression model. N*B Compress to obtain the codebook value, and then report the codebook value to the network side device. The network side device decompresses the codebook value through the CSI reconstruction model, that is, through the AI-based decompression model, to obtain W′ N*B .

[0091] 4. AI-based CSI prediction

[0092] Referring to the schematic diagram of the prediction process shown in FIG5 , W M-D , W M-2D ,…,W M-nDrepresents the actual channel or codebook at n time points before the reference time point M, where the interval between the n time points before the reference time point M is D; W X , W X+K ,…,W X+nK represents the channel or codebook predicted for n time points after the reference time point X, where the interval between the n time points after the reference time point X is K. By replacing W M-D , W M-2D ,…,W M-nD Input into the CSI prediction model, that is, W M-D , W M-2D ,…,W M-nD Input into the AI-based prediction model, and then W can be obtained based on AI prediction. X , W X+K ,…,W X+nK .

[0093] Since the current CSI processing method is mainly designed for situations where only CSI compression or only CSI prediction is required, it does not consider how to implement AI-based prediction and compression CSI processing when CSI prediction and compression are required, nor does it consider how to implement AI performance monitoring in such mixed situations.

[0094] The present application provides a CSI processing method, apparatus, device, and medium, which provide solutions to the problem of how to implement AI-based predictive compression CSI processing and how to implement AI performance monitoring in such mixed situations.

[0095] In the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a CSI processing method, apparatus, device, and medium provided in an embodiment of the present application are described in detail through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0096] For ease of description, the following unified description of the various terms involved in the embodiments of this application is first provided. (Unless otherwise specified, the following unified description of the various terms applies to all embodiments of this application. Due to the fact that some individual terms first appear later, they will not be uniformly described here. Below, they will be described when they first appear.)

[0098] User equipment: can be the terminal 11 in FIG1 . For an example of the terminal 11 , please refer to the above text and will not be described in detail here.

[0099] AI model: It may also be referred to as an AI unit, a machine learning (ML) model, an ML unit, an AI structure, an AI function, an AI feature, a neural network, a neural network function, or a neural network function. An AI model may refer to a processing unit that can implement specific algorithms, formulas, processing procedures, or capabilities related to AI, or may refer to a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit for a specific data set (such as a data set that includes at least one of the input and output of an AI model), or may refer to a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit running on AI or 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). This application does not specifically limit this.

[0100] Identification of the AI ​​model: It can be the identification of the AI ​​model (or AI structure, AI algorithm, etc.) itself, or the identification of a specific data set associated with the AI ​​model, or the identification of a specific scenario, environment, channel characteristics or device related to the AI ​​model, or the identification of a function, feature, capability or module related to the AI ​​model. This application does not make any specific restrictions on this.

[0101] CSI information: It includes at least one of the expected codebook (precoding matrix) and channel information, such as CQI, RI, layer indication (LI), call request with identification (CRI), synchronization signal block resource indication (SSBRI) and layer 1 reference signal receiving power (L1-RSRP). It may also include PMI (which is the expected codebook indication information and can be calculated based on a known base sequence) and other information.

[0102] In a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a CSI processing method is provided. The method is performed by a user equipment. FIG6 is a flowchart of an implementation of a CSI processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method may include the following steps:

[0103] Step S101: User equipment UE receives first reporting configuration information sent by a network side device.

[0104] The first reporting configuration information includes at least one of the following: compression configuration information of channel state information CSI, and prediction configuration information of the CSI.

[0105] During specific implementation, the network side device instructs the user equipment on how to perform prediction or compression by sending the first reporting configuration information, so as to obtain the CSI information that the network side device expects the user equipment to report.

[0106] For example, the first reporting configuration information includes at least CSI compression configuration information, and the CSI compression configuration information can be used to indicate the specific method of performing compression (such as using time domain compression), whether to perform AI-based compression on certain CSI information, and other information related to compression execution.

[0107] For another example, the first reporting configuration information includes at least CSI prediction configuration information, and the CSI prediction configuration information can be used to indicate how many time points or which future time points need to be predicted, the interval between the predicted time points, whether to predict the CSI information to be compressed or the compressed CSI information (that is, omitting the compression step and directly predicting the compressed CSI information at future time points), and other information related to the prediction execution.

[0108] In one embodiment, the network side device can indicate (or agree by protocol) the association relationship between the compression configuration information and the prediction configuration information of the CSI to the user equipment, so that the user equipment can determine the associated CSI prediction configuration information and at least one of the prediction configuration information based on the compression configuration information and the prediction configuration information of the CSI sent by the network side device, so as to subsequently perform prediction and compression CSI processing.

[0109] Step S102: The UE processes the first CSI information of the UE using an artificial intelligence (AI) model according to the first reporting configuration information to obtain second CSI information.

[0110] The second CSI information includes at least third CSI information, and the third CSI information is: CSI information obtained by predicting the CSI information of the UE at a future time point and compressing the predicted CSI information.

[0111] In a specific implementation, the UE obtains the first CSI information required for prediction based on the first reporting configuration information, and uses the AI ​​model to predict and compress all or part of the CSI information in the first CSI information to obtain second CSI information that includes at least third CSI information. After obtaining the second CSI information, the user equipment reports the second CSI information to the network-side device, which then decompresses the second CSI information to obtain relevant wireless channel characteristics.

[0112] In an optional embodiment, the first reporting configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0113] The type of the reported second CSI information, such as third CSI information, fourth CSI information, and fifth CSI information;

[0114] The information of the AI ​​model used to obtain the second CSI information, such as parameters of the AI ​​model, the type of the AI ​​model, or monitoring information of the AI ​​model.

[0115] Among them, the type of the AI ​​model may include an AI compression model, an AI prediction model, or an AI compression and prediction model, etc.; the monitoring information of the AI ​​model may include a monitoring method, a monitoring type, or monitoring auxiliary information, etc.

[0116] It can be seen from the above steps that the present application introduces CSI processing logic combined with the first reporting configuration information to the user equipment, thereby providing a solution for how to implement AI-based prediction and compression CSI processing and how to monitor the performance of AI-based prediction and compression CSI processing.

[0117] In some embodiments, the second CSI information further includes CSI information at at least two time points that has been compressed in the time domain;

[0118] The CSI information at the at least two time points satisfies any one of the following:

[0119] The CSI information at the at least two time points is all CSI information of the UE at at least two second time points predicted by the AI ​​model, that is, the second CSI information includes CSI information predicted for the at least two second time points after time domain compression;

[0120] At least one of the CSI information at the at least two time points is CSI information of the UE at at least one second time point predicted by the AI ​​model, that is, the second CSI information includes CSI information predicted for the at least one second time point after time domain compression;

[0121] At least one of the CSI information at the at least two time points is the first CSI information of the UE at at least one first time point obtained by the UE, that is, the second CSI information includes actual CSI information or predicted CSI information measured at at least one first time point after time domain compression.

[0122] In an optional embodiment, the first reporting configuration information includes information of at least one time point among the at least two time points mentioned above.

[0123] In some embodiments, the at least two time points include at least one of the following:

[0124] The Xth time point, wherein the Xth time point is the first time point, or the third time point;

[0125] The X+Kth time point, wherein the X+Kth time point is a time point K away from the Xth time point;

[0126] The X+NKth time point, where the X+NKth time point is a time point that is NK away from the Xth time point, and N is an integer greater than 1.

[0127] For example, referring to the schematic diagram of CSI-related time points shown in FIG7 , the Xth time point may be the time point corresponding to the CSI reference resource (corresponding to the case where the Xth time point is the first time point); or the Xth time point may be the time point corresponding to the first predicted or reported CSI information indicated by the network device or agreed upon by the protocol (corresponding to the case where the Xth time point is the third time point), such as the starting time point of the prediction window. When the Xth time point is the starting time point of the prediction window, the X+Kth to X+NKth time points may be the time points after the starting time point in the prediction window at which CSI information prediction is required.

[0128] Optionally, K satisfies at least one of the following:

[0129] K is the time interval between two time points;

[0130] K is 1 time slot, 2 time slots, 4 time slots or 5 time slots;

[0131] The value of K is determined according to the value of D, D is determined according to the instruction of the network side device, or D is the interval between two adjacent first time points.

[0132] In an optional embodiment, the first reporting configuration information includes at least one of X or K.

[0133] In some implementations, the CSI information at at least two time points after time domain compression satisfies at least one of the following:

[0134] The CSI information at the Xth time point is CSI information that has not been time-domain compressed, or the CSI information at the Xth time point is CSI information obtained by performing time-domain compression on CSI information reported by the UE to the network-side device before the Xth time point;

[0135] The CSI information at the X+Kth time point is CSI information obtained by performing time domain compression on the CSI information at the Xth time point, where the X+Kth time point is K time points away from the Xth time point.

[0136] The CSI information at the X+NKth time point is CSI information obtained by time domain compression using the CSI information of at least one time point from the Xth time point to the X+(N-1)Kth time point, where the X+NKth time point is a time point NK away from the Xth time point, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0137] For example, referring to the schematic diagram of time domain compression and decompression as shown in Figure 8, the CSI information at SlotX (i.e., the Xth time point) can be directly compressed and decompressed; for the CSI information at SlotX+K (i.e., the X+Kth time point) and subsequent time points, it is necessary to combine the CSI information at the previous time point (such as SlotX) for compression and decompression.

[0138] In an optional embodiment, the first reporting configuration information may also be used to instruct the user equipment to perform compression based on the CSI information at the previous time point (such as SlotX).

[0139] In some implementations, the UE reports at least one of the following to the network-side device:

[0140] CSI information of the UE at at least one time point between the X+K time point and the X+NK time point predicted by the UE through the AI ​​model;

[0141] CSI information at the Mth time point or the M-1th time point obtained by compressing the CSI information at M time points by the UE using the AI ​​model;

[0142] The UE predicts CSI information at at least one time point from the X+Kth time point to the X+NKth time point through the AI ​​model, and compresses the predicted CSI information to obtain CSI information.

[0143] In some implementations, the CSI information at at least two time points after time domain compression satisfies at least one of the following:

[0144] The CSI information at the at least two time points has different payloads;

[0145] The CSI information at the at least two time points has different coding and decoding methods, such as using time domain compression and corresponding decompression methods for some time points, and using other coding and decoding methods other than time domain compression and corresponding decompression methods for some time points;

[0146] There is a sequence for compression and decompression of the CSI information at the at least two time points. For example, for time sequence compression, the CSI information at the Xth time point needs to be compressed and decompressed first, and then combined with the CSI information at the Xth time point, the CSI information at the X+Kth time point needs to be further compressed and decompressed.

[0147] In an optional embodiment, the first reporting configuration information further includes at least one of the following: a payload of the second CSI information; a coding and decoding method of the second CSI information; in some embodiments, the second CSI information includes the third CSI information; in step S102, the UE processes the first CSI information of the UE using the AI ​​model according to the first reporting configuration information to obtain the second CSI information, including:

[0148] Step S1021: The UE obtains first CSI information of the UE at a first time point according to the first reporting configuration information.

[0149] The first time point is at least one of the following: a current time point, a historical time point, or a time point of a CSI reference resource.

[0150] In specific implementation, the user equipment can measure or predict one or more CSI information of the current time point, the historical time point or the time point of the CSI reference resource based on the information of the first time point indicated by the first reporting configuration information or related resource information to obtain the first CSI information of the first time point.

[0151] Step S1022: The UE predicts the CSI information of the UE at the second time point using a first prediction compression model based on the first CSI information of the UE at the first time point, and compresses the predicted CSI information using the first prediction compression model to obtain the third CSI information.

[0152] The second time point is a time point after the first time point.

[0153] In specific implementation, the network side device can inform the user equipment (or the user equipment itself determines) the identifier of the prediction compression model (which can be an independent model with prediction and compression functions, or a cascade model of the prediction model and the compression model) used to process the first CSI information at the first time point through the first reporting configuration information.

[0154] For example, the network side device informs the user device of the identifier of the prediction compression model used to process the first CSI information at the first time point through the first reporting configuration information. The user device can thereby determine the first prediction compression model, and use the first CSI information at the first time point as the input of the first prediction compression model, and perform prediction and compression CSI processing on the CSI information at the second time point after the first time point to obtain third CSI information.

[0155] For another example, the network-side device informs the user equipment of the structure or parameter information of the prediction compression model used to process the first CSI information at the first time point through the first reporting configuration information.

[0156] In some embodiments, the second CSI information further includes fifth CSI information; in step S102, the UE processes the first CSI information of the UE using an AI model according to the first reporting configuration information to obtain the second CSI information, including:

[0157] Step S1023: The UE obtains first CSI information of the UE at a first time point according to the first reporting configuration information.

[0158] The first time point is at least one of the following: a current time point, a historical time point, or a time point of a CSI reference resource.

[0159] In an optional embodiment, the first reporting configuration information further includes at least one of the following: configuration information of the CSI-RS for obtaining the first CSI information at the first time point.

[0160] In specific implementation, the user equipment can measure or predict one or more CSI information of the current time point, the historical time point or the time point of the CSI reference resource based on the information of the first time point indicated by the first reporting configuration information or related resource information to obtain the first CSI information of the first time point.

[0161] Step S1024: The UE predicts the CSI information of the UE at the second time point using a first prediction model based on the first CSI information of the UE at the first time point to obtain fifth CSI information in the second CSI information.

[0162] The second time point is a time point after the first time point.

[0163] In specific implementation, the network side device can inform the user equipment (or the user equipment determines it itself) of the identifier of the prediction model used to process the first CSI information at the first time point through the first reporting configuration information (which can be a prediction model independently deployed on the user equipment, or can be a prediction model deployed on the user equipment in cascade with the compression model).

[0164] For example, the network side device informs the user device of the identifier of the prediction model used to process the first CSI information at the first time point through the first reporting configuration information. The user device can thereby determine the first prediction model, and use the first CSI information at the first time point as the input of the first prediction compression model to predict the CSI information at the second time point after the first time point to obtain the fifth CSI information.

[0165] In some embodiments, the second CSI information further includes sixth CSI information; in step S102, the UE processes the first CSI information of the UE using an AI model according to the first reporting configuration information to obtain the second CSI information, including:

[0166] Step S1025: The UE obtains first CSI information of the UE at the first time point according to the first reporting configuration information.

[0167] The first time point is at least one of the following: a current time point, a historical time point, or a time point of a CSI reference resource.

[0168] In specific implementation, the user equipment can measure or predict one or more CSI information of the current time point, the historical time point or the time point of the CSI reference resource based on the information of the first time point indicated by the first reporting configuration information or related resource information to obtain the first CSI information of the first time point.

[0169] Step S1026: The UE compresses the first CSI information of the UE at the first time point using the first compression model to obtain sixth CSI information in the second CSI information.

[0170] In specific implementation, the network side device can inform the user device (or the user device determines it itself) of the identifier of the compression model used to process the first CSI information at the first time point through the first reporting configuration information (which can be a compression model independently deployed on the user device, or can be a compression model deployed on the user device in cascade with the prediction model).

[0171] For example, the network-side device informs the user device of the identifier of the compression model used to process the first CSI information at the first time point through the first reporting configuration information. The user device can thereby determine the first compression model, and use the first CSI information at the first time point as the input of the first compression model to compress the CSI information at the first time point, or use the first CSI information at the first time point as the input of a cascaded AI model (such as a cascaded first prediction model and a first compression model), predict and compress the CSI information at the first time point, and obtain the sixth CSI information.

[0172] In some implementations, obtaining, by the UE according to the first reporting configuration information, first CSI information of the UE at a first time point includes:

[0173] The UE obtains W based on the measurement results of multiple channel state information reference signals CSI-RS M-D ,W M-2D ,……W M-nD ;

[0174] Wherein, the W M-D represents the codebook information or channel information obtained by the UE at the MDth time point, where MD, M-2D, ..., M-nD represent different first time points.

[0175] Optionally, the M is determined based on the CSI-RS most recently before the Xth time point, D is the period or repetition interval of the CSI-RS, or D is the interval between the multiple CSI-RSs.

[0176] For example, as shown in FIG5 , the user equipment measures the CSI-RS at multiple first time points and obtains the measurement result W M-D ,W M-2D ,……W M-nD Then, based on the multiple measurement results (ie, codebooks), the CSI information at the time point where the CSI reference resource is located (ie, the Xth time point) and the time points thereafter is predicted to obtain the prediction result W X ,W X+K ,……W X+nK Wherein, D can be the time point distance between the two input codebooks, and K can be the time point distance between the two output codebooks.

[0177] In some embodiments, the UE monitors the performance of the AI ​​model based on at least two items of the first to sixth CSI information, such as inputting at least two items of the first to sixth CSI information into a pre-built AI model to obtain corresponding performance monitoring results.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first reporting configuration information includes configuration information monitored by the AI ​​model, or, in some embodiments, the user equipment receives the first reporting configuration information and the configuration information monitored by the AI ​​model.

[0179] Optionally, there is an association between the first reporting configuration information and the configuration information monitored by the AI ​​model.

[0180] The fourth CSI information is: CSI information obtained by decompressing the second CSI information, the fifth CSI information is: predicted CSI information of the UE at a future time point, and the sixth CSI information is CSI information obtained by compressing the first CSI information.

[0181] In specific implementation, the UE may compare the actual CSI information with the relevant predicted and decompressed CSI information, such as comparing the actual CSI information at a certain time point in the first CSI information with the CSI information obtained by decompressing the third information associated with the time point in the fourth CSI information, to monitor the overall performance of the prediction and compression of the AI ​​model; or may compare the decompressed CSI information or the compressed CSI information with the CSI information before compression, such as comparing the CSI information to be compressed in the first CSI information (such as the actual CSI or the fifth CSI information) with the corresponding CSI information obtained by decompression in the fourth CSI information, or comparing the first CSI information with the sixth CSI information, to monitor the compression performance of the AI ​​model; or may compare the actual CSI information at a certain time point in the first CSI information with the fifth CSI information associated with the time point, to monitor the prediction performance of the AI ​​model.

[0182] In some implementations, the user equipment may obtain the fourth CSI information through the following method 1 or 2.

[0183] Mode 1: The UE receives the fourth CSI information sent by the network-side device, where the fourth CSI information is obtained by the network-side device decompressing the second CSI information using the first decompression model.

[0184] In method 1, after the network side device completes decompression of the second CSI information reported by the user equipment using the first decompression model configured by itself, the network side device can send the obtained decompression result as the fourth CSI information to the user equipment, so that the user equipment can monitor the AI ​​model.

[0185] Mode 2: The UE decompresses the second CSI information using the first reference model of the first decompression model to obtain the fourth CSI information.

[0186] In this method 2, the UE can use the first reference model configured by itself to simulate the process of the network side device using the first decompression model to decompress the second CSI information, and use the obtained decompression result as the fourth CSI information for subsequent AI model performance monitoring, thereby reducing the communication overhead between the network side device and the user device; or the UE can use the first reference model sent by the network side device to simulate the process of the network side device using the first decompression model to decompress the second CSI information, and use the obtained decompression result as the fourth CSI information for subsequent AI model performance monitoring, thereby unifying the understanding of the model between the network side device and the user device.

[0187] In some embodiments, the UE reports at least one of the first CSI information, the second CSI information, the third CSI information, and the fifth CSI information to the network side device so that the network side device can perform performance monitoring. The specific monitoring process can be referred to the following embodiments one to three, which are not repeated here.

[0188] The above performance monitoring solution is further described below in conjunction with implementation modes one to three.

[0189] Implementation Method 1

[0190] Network-side devices or user devices monitor the overall performance of AI model prediction and compression.

[0191] In this embodiment, the network side device or the user device compares the actual CSI information at one or more time points (i.e., the first CSI information at the third time point) with the CSI information obtained after sequentially predicting, compressing and decompressing the associated time points (i.e., the fourth CSI information, which can be obtained by decompressing the CSI information at the second time point after performing prediction and compression on the first prediction compression model) to obtain an overall monitoring result of the prediction performance and compression performance of the AI ​​model (i.e., the first prediction compression model).

[0192] In some embodiments, the first CSI information at the third time point may be obtained by the user equipment by measuring the CSI-RS at the third time point.

[0193] The third time point is at least one of the following: the second time point, a time point associated with the second time point, and a time point indicated by the network side device for obtaining the monitoring results.

[0194] Specifically, the user equipment can measure the CSI-RS at the time point indicated by the network side device for obtaining the monitoring result, and compare the measurement result as the first CSI information of the third time point with the fourth CSI information, so as to obtain the monitoring result that the network side device expects the user equipment to report; or the user equipment can measure the CSI-RS at the time point predicted by the fourth CSI information (i.e., the second time point), and compare the measurement result as the first CSI information of the third time point with the fourth CSI information to ensure the accuracy of the obtained monitoring result; or the user equipment can measure the CSI-RS associated (such as adjacent) with the time point predicted by the fourth CSI information (i.e., the second time point), and compare the measurement result as the first CSI information of the third time point with the fourth CSI information to ensure the normal acquisition of the measurement result when there is no CSI-RS at the second time point.

[0195] For example, the overall performance parameter SGCS1 characterizing the prediction and compression performance of the first prediction compression model and the information based thereon can be expressed as SGCS1{W N*B , W' N*B}, where W N*B represents the actual precoding information measured by the user equipment (ie, the first CSI information at the third time point), W' N*B Indicates the relevant decompression result of the network side device (ie, the fourth CSI information).

[0196] It should be noted that the overall performance parameter SGCS1, the prediction performance parameter SGCS3 or the compression performance parameter SGCS2 in the embodiment of the present application can adopt parameters such as cosine similarity that can measure model performance. For example, the above SGCS1 can be W N*B and W' N*B The cosine similarity between N*B , W' N*B}), similarly, SGCS2 and SGCS3 can also be obtained based on the cosine similarity between the information they are based on; if the network side device performs the above overall performance monitoring, the user equipment needs to report W to the network side device. N*B If the user equipment performs the above overall performance monitoring, the network side device may send W 'to the user equipment N*B , or the user equipment will simulate the decompression performed by the network side device to obtain the decompression result W" N*B As W' N*B .

[0197] In some embodiments, if multiple first CSI information and fourth CSI information are obtained, statistical characteristic values ​​such as weighted mean and median of multiple overall performance parameters determined based on the multiple first CSI information and fourth CSI information can be further obtained, and the obtained statistical characteristic values ​​can be used as the overall monitoring results of the prediction performance and compression performance of the first prediction compression model.

[0198] For example, the above statistical characteristic values ​​can be determined by the following formula:

[0199] Among them, SGCS{W i , W i '} represents the first CSI information W according to the i-th i and the fourth CSI information W associated therewith i ' The overall performance parameter determined, N represents the number of first CSI information (or fourth CSI information) obtained, and sta represents the statistical characteristic value (in this case, the mean value) of the overall performance parameter.

[0200] In some embodiments, for a cascaded AI model (such as a second prediction compression model, which is formed by cascading a second compression model after a second prediction model), the network side device or the user device can obtain the monitoring results of the compression performance of the second compression model (the acquisition method can refer to the following implementation method two), and obtain the monitoring results of the prediction performance of the second prediction model (the acquisition method can refer to the following implementation method three); then, based on the monitoring results of the compression performance of the second compression model and the monitoring results of the prediction performance of the second prediction model, the overall monitoring results of the prediction performance and compression performance of the second prediction compression model are obtained.

[0201] For example, for the second predictive compression model, the user device performs predictive performance monitoring to obtain the predicted performance parameter SGCS3 (i.e., the monitoring result of the predicted performance), and reports the predicted performance parameter SGCS3 to the network-side device so that the network-side device can calculate the overall performance parameter SGCS1 (i.e., the monitoring result of the overall performance of compression and prediction) based on the product relationship between the performance of the cascaded AI models. After the network-side device completes the decompression of the CSI information and obtains the associated predicted CSI information, it can calculate the compression performance parameter SGCS2 (i.e., the monitoring result of the compression performance), and then further calculate SGCS1 based on SGCS2 and SGCS3, such as by calculating SGCS1 using the formula SGCS1=SGCS2*SGCS3.

[0202] Implementation Method 2

[0203] Network-side devices or user devices monitor the compression performance of AI models in the following two situations.

[0204] Case 1: A monitoring result of the compression performance of the first compression model is obtained according to the fourth CSI information and the sixth CSI information in the second CSI information.

[0205] In case 1, the network side device or user equipment monitors the compression performance of the first compression model (which can be deployed independently or cascaded with other models) based on the decompressed CSI information (i.e., the fourth CSI information) and the compressed CSI information (i.e., the sixth CSI information).

[0206] Case 2: A monitoring result of the compression performance of the first compression model is obtained according to the fourth CSI information and the fifth CSI information in the second CSI information.

[0207] In case 2, the first compression model is included in the first prediction compression model and is cascaded after the first prediction model in the first prediction compression model. When the compression performance of the cascaded AI model (i.e., the first prediction compression model) is monitored, the network side device or the user device will compare the CSI information predicted for one or more time points (i.e., the fifth CSI information) with the associated decompressed CSI information (i.e., the fourth CSI information) to obtain the monitoring results of the compression performance of the cascaded AI model (i.e., the compression performance of the first compression model in the first prediction compression model).

[0208] For example, the compression performance parameter SGCS2 characterizing the compression performance of the first compression model and the information based thereon can be expressed as in, represents the CSI information (i.e., the fifth CSI information) predicted by the user equipment through the first prediction model, Indicates the relevant decompression result of the network side device (ie, the fourth CSI information).

[0209] It should be noted that if the network side device performs the above compression performance monitoring, the user device needs to report to the network side device Or the network side device uses the prediction result obtained by simulating the user equipment to perform the prediction as If the user equipment performs the above compression performance monitoring, the network side device can send a Or the user equipment uses the decompression result obtained by simulating the decompression performed by the network side equipment as

[0210] In some embodiments, if multiple fourth CSI information and fifth CSI information are obtained, statistical characteristic values ​​such as weighted mean and median of multiple compression performance parameters determined based on the multiple fourth CSI information and fifth CSI information can be further obtained, and the obtained statistical characteristic values ​​can be used as monitoring results of the compression performance of the first compression model.

[0211] For example, the above statistical characteristic values ​​can be determined by the following formula:

[0212] in, Indicates the lth fourth CSI information and the fifth CSI information associated therewith The compression performance parameter is determined, N represents the number of fifth CSI information (or fourth CSI information) obtained, and stb represents the statistical characteristic value (in this case, the mean value).

[0213] In some embodiments, for a cascaded AI model (such as a second prediction compression model, which includes a second prediction model and a second compression model cascaded after the second prediction model), the network side device or the user device can obtain the monitoring results of the prediction performance of the second prediction model (the acquisition method can refer to the following implementation method three), and obtain the overall monitoring results of the prediction performance and compression performance of the second prediction compression model (the acquisition method can refer to the above implementation method one); then, based on the monitoring results of the prediction performance of the second prediction model and the overall monitoring results of the prediction performance and compression performance of the second prediction compression model, the monitoring results of the compression performance of the second compression model are obtained.

[0214] For example, for the second predictive compression model, the user device performs predictive performance monitoring to obtain the predicted performance parameter SGCS3 (i.e., the monitoring result of the predicted performance), and reports the predicted performance parameter SGCS3 to the network-side device so that the network-side device can calculate the compression performance parameter SGCS2 (i.e., the monitoring result of the compression performance) based on the product relationship between the performance of the cascaded AI models. After the network-side device completes the decompression of the CSI information and obtains the associated actual CSI information, it can calculate the overall performance parameter SGCS1 (i.e., the monitoring result of the overall performance of compression and prediction), and then further calculate SGCS2 based on SGCS1 and SGCS3, such as by calculating SGCS2 using the formula SGCS2 = SGCS1 / SGCS3.

[0215] For another example, for the second predictive compression model, the user equipment performs overall performance monitoring and predictive performance monitoring. When receiving the decompressed CSI information sent by the network-side device (or simulating the decompression performed by the network-side device), SGCS1 is calculated in combination with the actual CSI information, and SGCS3 is calculated based on the actual CSI information and the predicted CSI information measured by the user equipment. Subsequently, SGCS2 can be further calculated based on SGCS1 and SGCS3, such as SGCS2 calculated by the formula SGCS2 = SGCS1 / SGCS3.

[0216] Implementation Method 3

[0217] Network-side devices or user devices monitor the prediction performance of the AI ​​model.

[0218] In this embodiment, the network side device or the user device compares the actual CSI information at one or more time points (i.e., the first CSI information at the third time point) with the CSI information obtained by predicting the associated time point (i.e., the fifth CSI information, which can be the CSI information at the second time point obtained after the first prediction model executes the prediction) to obtain the monitoring results of the prediction performance of the AI ​​model (i.e., the first prediction model).

[0219] In some embodiments, the first CSI information at the third time point may be obtained by the user equipment by measuring the CSI-RS at the third time point.

[0220] The third time point is at least one of the following: the second time point, a time point associated with the second time point, and a time point indicated by the network side device for obtaining the monitoring results.

[0221] Specifically, the user equipment can measure the CSI-RS at the time point indicated by the network side device for obtaining the monitoring result, and compare the measurement result as the first CSI information of the third time point with the fifth CSI information, so as to obtain the monitoring result that the network side device expects the user equipment to report; or the user equipment can measure the CSI-RS at the time point predicted by the fourth CSI information (i.e., the second time point), and compare the measurement result as the first CSI information of the third time point with the fifth CSI information to ensure the accuracy of the obtained monitoring result; or the user equipment can measure the CSI-RS associated (such as adjacent) with the time point predicted by the fourth CSI information (i.e., the second time point), and compare the measurement result as the first CSI information of the third time point with the fifth CSI information to ensure the normal acquisition of the measurement result when there is no CSI-RS at the second time point.

[0222] For example, the prediction performance parameter SGCS3 characterizing the prediction performance of the first prediction model and the information based thereon can be expressed as Among them, W N*B represents the actual CSI measured by the user equipment (i.e., the first CSI information at the third time point), Indicates the CSI information predicted by the user equipment (ie, the fifth CSI information).

[0223] It should be noted that if the network side device performs the above-mentioned prediction performance monitoring, the user equipment needs to report W to the network side device. N*B The user equipment can report to the network side equipment Or the network side device uses the prediction result obtained by simulating the user equipment to perform the prediction as

[0224] In some embodiments, for a cascaded AI model (such as a second prediction compression model, which includes a second compression model and a second prediction model cascaded before the second compression model), the network side device or the user device can obtain the monitoring results of the compression performance of the second compression model (the acquisition method can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment 2), and obtain the overall monitoring results of the prediction performance and compression performance of the second prediction compression model (the acquisition method can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment 1); then, based on the monitoring results of the compression performance of the second compression model and the overall monitoring results of the prediction performance and compression performance of the second prediction compression model, the monitoring results of the prediction performance of the second prediction model are obtained.

[0225] For example, for the second predictive compression model, the network side device performs compression performance monitoring and overall performance monitoring to obtain the compression performance parameter SGCS2 (i.e., the monitoring result of the compression performance) and the overall performance parameter SGCS1 (i.e., the monitoring result of the overall performance of compression and prediction). Subsequently, SGCS3 can be further calculated based on SGCS1 and SGCS2, such as SGCS3 calculated by the formula SGCS3 = SGCS1 / SGCS2.
