[0182] The relevant concepts mentioned in this disclosure are briefly described below.

[0183] Model Identification

[0184] For model identification of UE-side models or UE-part of two-sided models, the following methods can be used:

[0185] Type A: No air interface signaling is used to identify the model between the network side (if applicable) and the UE side (if applicable);

[0186] The model identification process can assign a model id, which can be used in air interface signaling after model identification.

[0187] Type B: Model recognition is performed through air interface signaling;

[0188] This type can be further divided into:

[0189] Type B1: UE initiates the model identification process, and the network assists with the remaining steps of model identification (if any);

[0190] During the model identification process, a model id can be assigned to the model.

[0191] Type B2: The network initiates the model identification process and the UE responds to the remaining steps (if any) of the model identification (if applicable);

[0192] During the model identification process, a model id can be assigned to the model.

[0193] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The model recognition method, apparatus, terminal, and network device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system can be a system using fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technology (hereinafter referred to as a 5G system). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the 5G New Radio (NR) system is only an example and not a limitation.

[0194] Referring to FIG1 , FIG1 is a structural diagram of a network system applicable to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the network system includes a user terminal 11 and a base station 12, wherein the user terminal 11 may be a user equipment (UE), for example, a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile internet device (MID), or a wearable device. It should be noted that the specific type of the user terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The base station 12 may be a base station of 5G or later versions (for example, the next generation Node B (gNB), 5G NR NB), or a base station in other communication systems, or referred to as a node B. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, only a 5G base station is used as an example, but the specific type of the base station 12 is not limited.

[0195] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a model recognition method, apparatus, terminal, and network device to solve the problem that when the terminal is initialized and performs the model recognition process to the network side through the air interface, different terminals all perform model recognition on the network side for the same model, resulting in redundant model recognition processes.

[0196] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0197] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a model recognition method, which is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0201] In some embodiments, the model generated, downloaded or obtained by the terminal can be understood as a model obtained by the terminal. The model can be a new model, that is, a model that has not been recognized by the network side, or it can be an updated model, that is, the network side has recognized the model, and then the terminal obtains an updated version of the model.

[0202] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure sends model identification information to the network device when at least one model obtained by the terminal does not belong to at least one model that the network device has already performed model identification, or sends model identification information to the network device when a model identification request for at least one model obtained by the terminal is received from the network device, so that the network device only performs model identification on unidentified models. This can avoid the problem of different terminals performing model identification on the network side for the same model, resulting in redundant model identification processes, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

[0203] In some embodiments, the network device referred to in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be an access network side device (e.g., a base station), operations, administration and maintenance (OAM), an over-the-top server (OTT server), a core network side device (e.g., a location management function (LMF)), etc.

[0223] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides two methods for performing model recognition:

[0224] Implementation method 1: The terminal can make at least partial judgment on whether the obtained model belongs to an identified model. This method corresponds to the process of sending model identification information of at least one first model to the network device when at least one first model does not belong to the model set.

[0225] In some embodiments, at least part of the determination may be understood to include one of the following:

[0226] The terminal can determine by itself whether the obtained model belongs to the identified model;

[0227] The terminal can only make judgments based on model identification information.

[0228] Implementation method 2: The network device determines whether the model obtained by the terminal belongs to an identified model. This method corresponds to the process of sending model identification information of at least one first model to the network device when a model identification request for at least one first model sent by the network device is received.

[0229] The specific implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below from these two different implementation methods.

[0230] Implementation method 1:

[0231] In some embodiments, in one implementation, before sending the model identification information of the at least one first model to the network device when the at least one first model does not belong to the model set, the method further includes:

[0232] First information sent by a network device is received, where the first information is used to indicate a model set, and the first information includes at least one of the following: model identification information of the models in the model set, and model version information of the models in the model set.

[0233] That is to say, for the model identification information, each identified model will correspond to a piece of model identification information; for the model version information, each identified model will correspond to a piece of model version information.

[0234] In some embodiments, the model set mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be understood as a set consisting of model identification information corresponding to the identified model, or the model set can be understood as a set consisting of model identification information and model version information corresponding to the identified model.

[0235] It should be noted that in this case, the network device needs to first send the identified model to the terminal to inform the terminal which models have been identified on the network side. In some embodiments, the network side can only notify the terminal of the model identification information of the identified model. In this case, the terminal can only judge whether the obtained model is an identified model based on the model identification information; in some embodiments, because the same model may have different versions as it is updated, the network device can also notify the terminal of the model identification information of the identified model and the model version information of the identified model. In this case, the terminal can judge whether the obtained model is an identified model based on the model identification information, or it can judge whether the obtained model is an identified model based on the model identification information and the model version information.

[0236] In some embodiments, in one implementation, the specific implementation of receiving the first information sent by the network device includes:

[0237] receiving a target signaling sent by a network device, where the target signaling includes first information;

[0238] The target signaling includes at least one of the following:

[0239] B11, broadcast signaling;

[0240] For example, the network device may notify the terminal of the first information by broadcasting system information.

[0241] B12, dedicated signaling;

[0242] In some embodiments, the dedicated signaling may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), and Downlink Control Information (DCI).

[0243] B13, paging signaling;

[0244] This method can be understood as the network device notifying the terminal of the first information by paging.

[0245] It should be noted that after the terminal obtains the first model, it is necessary to first determine whether the first model belongs to the model set. In some embodiments, in one implementation, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0246] B21. If the model identification information of the at least one first model does not exist in the model set, determine that the at least one first model does not belong to the model set;

[0247] In some embodiments, the absence of model identification information in the model set can be understood as the model identification information not belonging to the model set, and the presence of model identification information in the model set can be understood as the model identification information belonging to the model set.

[0248] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal only makes judgments based on the model identification information. As long as the model identification information corresponding to a first model does not exist in the model set, the first model does not belong to the model set, that is, the first model is an unidentified model, and the terminal needs to send the model identification information of the first model to the network device; as long as the model identification information corresponding to a first model exists in the model set, the model belongs to the model set, that is, the model is an identified model, and the terminal does not need to send the model identification information of the first model to the network device.

[0249] It should be noted that this situation is usually applicable when the obtained model is a new model.

[0250] B22. If the model identification information of the at least one first model exists in the model set, and the model version information of the at least one first model does not exist in the model set, determine that the at least one first model does not belong to the model set;

[0251] In some embodiments, the absence of model version information in the model set can be understood as the model version information not belonging to the model set, and the presence of model version information in the model set can be understood as the model version information belonging to the model set.

[0252] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal needs to make a judgment based on the model identification information and the model version information. If the model identification information of the first model exists in the model set and the model version information of the first model does not exist in the model set, then the model does not belong to the model set, that is, the version of the first model is an unidentified model version, and the terminal needs to send the model identification information of the first model to the network device; if the model identification information exists in the model set and the model version information of the first model exists in the model set, then the first model belongs to the model set, that is, the first model is an identified model, and the terminal does not need to send the model identification information of the first model to the network device.

[0253] It should be noted that this situation is generally applicable when the obtained model is an updated model.

[0254] In some embodiments, if in this case, the terminal determines that the model identification information of the first model does not exist in the model set, the terminal can directly determine that the first model is an unrecognized model and send model identification information to the network device.

[0255] In some embodiments, in this case, the method further comprises:

[0256] Sending third notification information to the network device, where the third notification information includes indication information of whether the at least one first model is a model update.

[0257] It should be noted that if the model identification information of the one or more first models exists in the model set, and the model version information of the one or more first models does not exist in the model set, it indicates that the version of the one or more first models is not recognized. The terminal can then send a third notification message to the network device to notify the one or more first models that the model is updated, that is, the one or more first models are the models to be updated.

[0258] In some embodiments, in this case, the terminal may include the model version information in the sent model identification information, or the terminal may send the model version information of the first model to the network device through additional signaling.

[0259] B23. If the model identification information of the at least one first model exists in the model set, determine, based on a request or instruction from the network device, that the at least one first model does not belong to the model set;

[0260] In some embodiments, in this case, if the terminal determines that the model identification information of the first model exists in the model set, the terminal cannot determine whether the first model is an identified model. In some embodiments, the network side is also required to make a judgment based on the model version information. After the judgment is completed, the network device will send a request or instruction to the terminal. Based on the request or instruction of the network device, the terminal can know which unidentified models are, and only send the model identification information of the unidentified models to the network device.

[0261] It should be noted that this situation is generally applicable when the obtained model is an updated model.

[0262] In some embodiments, if in this case, the terminal determines that the model identification information of the first model does not exist in the model set, the terminal can directly determine that the first model is an unrecognized model and send model identification information to the network device.

[0263] In some embodiments, in this case, the method further comprises:

[0264] Sending second notification information to the network device, where the second notification information includes model identification information and model version information of the at least one first model;

[0265] Receive third information sent by the network device, where the third information is used to request the terminal to send model identification information of at least one first model or the third information is used to indicate that the first model is not identified.

[0266] It should be noted that the specific implementation of this process is as follows: when the terminal determines that the model identification information of the first model exists in the model set, the terminal requires the network device to send a second notification message to notify the model identification information and model version information corresponding to the newly obtained model whose model identification information exists in the model set; the network device determines whether the model version information of the newly obtained model whose model identification information exists in the model set exists in the model set based on the second notification message. If it exists in the model set, it means that the model is an identified model, then the network device does not respond to the terminal or the network device responds that the terminal does not need to perform model identification (for example, an indication message is sent to the terminal, which is used to instruct the terminal not to perform model identification of the first model; if it does not exist in the model set, it means that the model is an unidentified model, and the network device sends a third message to the terminal, which may include the model identification information and model version information of the unidentified model. When the terminal receives the third message, it sends the third information request or the indicated model identification information of the first model to the network device.

[0267] B24. If the model identification information of the at least one first model exists in the model set, determine that the at least one first model does not belong to the model set;

[0268] In some embodiments, in this case, if the terminal determines that the model identification information of the first model exists in the model set, the terminal cannot determine whether the first model is an identified model. In some embodiments, the network side is also required to make a judgment based on the model version information. In order to reduce signaling overhead, the terminal can directly determine that the first model does not belong to the model set in this case, and send the model identification information of the model to the network device. The network device makes a judgment based on the received model identification information. If the model version of the received first model has been identified, the model identification information of the first model is discarded. If the model version of the received first model has not been identified, the model identification information of the first model is stored.

[0269] It should be noted that this situation is generally applicable when the obtained model is an updated model.

[0270] In some embodiments, if in this case, the terminal determines that the model identification information of the first model does not exist in the model set, the terminal can directly determine that the first model is an unrecognized model and send model identification information to the network device.

[0271] Implementation method 2:

[0272] In some embodiments, in one implementation, upon receiving a model identification request for at least one first model sent by a network device, before sending model identification information of the at least one first model to the network device, the method further includes:

[0273] Second information is sent to the network device, where the second information includes: model identification information of the first model and / or model version information of the first model.

[0274] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal needs to first send the obtained model to the network device to inform the network side which new models have been obtained. In some embodiments, the terminal can send the model identification information and / or model version information corresponding to multiple newly obtained models to the network device at one time, or it can only send the model identification information and / or model version information of one newly obtained model to the network device at one time. In some embodiments, the terminal can only notify the network device of the model identification information of the newly obtained model. In this case, the network device can only judge whether the newly obtained model is an identified model based on the model identification information; in some embodiments, because the same model may have different versions as it is updated, the terminal can also notify the network device of the model identification information and model version information of the obtained model. In this case, the network device can judge whether the newly obtained model is an identified model based on the model identification information, or it can judge whether the newly obtained model is an identified model based on the model identification information and the model version information.

[0275] It should be noted that, in this implementation, the terminal only sends information to the network device once, which can reduce the signaling interaction process between the terminal and the network device and reduce signaling overhead.

[0276] In some embodiments, the terminal mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure satisfies at least one of the following:

[0277] C11. A terminal receiving first notification information sent by a network device, where the first notification information is used to notify the terminal that a first model needs to be identified.

[0278] In some embodiments, this situation can be understood as that the terminal is a terminal configured by the network device, that is, the network device needs to first determine which terminals need to identify the newly obtained model, and then notify the corresponding terminals; in some embodiments, the network device determines whether the terminal needs to perform model recognition based on the second condition; if the terminal needs to perform model recognition, a first notification message is sent to the terminal, and the first notification message is used to notify the terminal that it needs to perform model recognition.

[0279] The second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0280] C111. Whether the terminal supports target features, where the target features include but are not limited to at least one of the following: positioning, beam management, and channel state information feedback;

[0281] In some embodiments, whether the terminal supports the target feature may include at least one of the following:

[0282] It only indicates whether the terminal supports a certain feature. For example, a terminal that supports the positioning feature can perform model identification of the first positioning-related model.

[0283] It can indicate whether the terminal supports the use of the first model. If the terminal supports the use of the AI ​​model or the ML model in the positioning feature and the terminal supports the use of the first model, the terminal can perform model recognition of the first model;

[0284] It can indicate whether the terminal supports the use of an AI model or an ML model for the target feature corresponding to the first model. If the terminal supports the use of an AI model or an ML model in the positioning feature, even if the terminal does not support the use of the first model, the terminal can perform model recognition of the first model, where the first model is the model used for the positioning feature. The target feature here can be a use case, a sub-use case, a feature / feature group (AI / ML-enabled Feature / FG), or a function (Functionality), etc.

[0285] C112: Whether the terminal is interested in the first model. For example, the terminal may report its preference for model recognition, and the network may select the terminal for model recognition based on the reported preference for model recognition by the terminal.

[0286] C113: Whether the terminal is a contracted terminal, similar to user consent for Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT);

[0287] C114. Whether the target characteristics of the terminal meet the requirements, the target characteristics include but are not limited to at least one of the following: business volume, throughput, and transmission rate.

[0288] In some embodiments, the terminals that need to perform model recognition determined by the network device may also be randomly selected. This case also includes the network device determining that all terminals need to perform model recognition and instructing each terminal.

[0289] In some embodiments, the first notification information may be sent to the terminal in at least one of the following ways:

[0290] Sending first notification information to the corresponding terminal through dedicated signaling, such as RRC signaling, MAC CE, DCI, etc.;

[0291] Sending first notification information to the corresponding terminal through paging signaling;

[0292] The first notification information is sent to the corresponding terminal through broadcast signaling.

[0293] C12. Terminals that meet the first condition;

[0294] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal determines on its own whether to perform recognition of the newly acquired model; in some embodiments, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0295] C121. A terminal supporting target characteristics, wherein the target characteristics include at least one of the following: positioning, beam management, and channel state information feedback;

[0296] In some embodiments, a terminal supporting a target feature may include at least one of the following:

[0297] A terminal that supports a certain feature, such as a terminal that supports a positioning feature, can perform model recognition of a first positioning-related model;

[0298] For a terminal that supports the use of the first model, if the terminal supports the use of the AI ​​model or the ML model in the positioning feature and the terminal supports the use of the first model, the terminal may perform model recognition of the first model;

[0299] For terminals that support the use of an AI model or ML model for the target feature corresponding to the first model, if the terminal supports the use of an AI model or ML model in the positioning feature, even if the terminal does not support the use of the first model, the terminal can perform model recognition of the first model, where the first model is the model used for the positioning feature. The target feature here can be a use case, a sub-use case, a feature / feature group (AI / ML-enabled Feature / FG), or a function (Functionality), etc.

[0300] C122. For a terminal interested in the first model, when a model is obtained, the terminal that likes model recognition can initiate a model recognition process for the model;

[0301] C123, contract terminal, similar to MDT's user consent;

[0302] C124. A terminal whose target characteristics meet the requirements, wherein the target characteristics include at least one of the following: traffic volume, throughput, and transmission rate.

[0303] C13, any terminal;

[0304] This situation can be understood as all terminals that are connected to the network device, registered with the network device and / or have a connection with the network device need to execute the model recognition method of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0305] It should also be noted that the terminal may perform model recognition within its own terminal capabilities, or it may perform model recognition outside its own terminal capabilities. For example, although the terminal capabilities of a terminal do not support positioning, this terminal can still perform model recognition of positioning-related models.

[0306] The following uses the downloaded model as an example of a new model and an updated model to illustrate the specific application of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0307] Application Scenario 1: The terminal determines whether the new model is an identified model

[0308] As shown in Figure 3, the specific implementation process includes the following:

[0309] Step 31: The network device sends first information to the terminal, where the first information includes model identification information of at least one model that has been model-identified.

[0310] In some embodiments, the network device notification method includes one or more of the following:

[0311] The network device broadcasts the identified model, such as through system information broadcast;

[0312] The network device sends the identified model information to the terminal that needs model identification through dedicated signaling. This dedicated signaling can be RRC, MAC CE, DCI, etc.

[0313] The network device sends the identified model information to the terminal that needs to perform model identification through paging.

[0314] Step 32: When the terminal downloads a new model, the terminal determines whether the new model is a recognized model based on the first information; if it is a recognized model, the terminal ends the model recognition process; if it is an unrecognized model, the terminal executes step 33.

[0315] Step 33: The terminal determines that the new model is an unrecognized model and sends model identification information of the new model to the network device;

[0316] In some embodiments, the model identification information includes one or more of the following information:

[0317] Model identification information, such as model id, which can be a global model id or a local model id;

[0318] Meta info, such as manufacturer information, model performance indicators, etc.

[0319] Condition information (condition), such as corresponding configuration information;

[0320] Additional condition information (additional condition), such as cell identification information, etc. This additional condition may be included in meta info;

[0321] Model structure information;

[0322] Model parameter information.

[0323] Step 34: After receiving the model identification information sent by the terminal, the network device stores the model identification information;

[0324] In some embodiments, the network device may also update the identified model information to the terminal that needs to perform model identification.

[0325] It should be noted that if there are multiple new models that need to be identified on the terminal side, the terminal can trigger a model identification process once, that is, send model identification information once, or trigger multiple model identification processes separately, that is, send multiple model identification information.

[0326] Application scenario 2: The terminal determines whether the updated model is an identified model

[0327] This application scenario can be referred to Application Scenario 1. When the model obtained by the terminal is an existing model on the network, that is, an updated model, and the model identification information is the same, the terminal has the following different implementation methods:

[0328] Method 1: When a network device notifies a terminal that needs or can perform model identification of a model that the network device has identified, in addition to carrying model identification information, the network device can also carry model version information of this model (that is, the first information in step 31 in application scenario 1 also includes model version information). When a terminal has a new model that needs to be identified, if this model is an updated version of a previous model, that is, the terminal determines that the model identification information of this new model is the same as the model notified by the network, but the version information is different, the terminal sends the model identification information of this model to the network device, and optionally carries the model version information of this new version or carries an indication information indicating that it is a model update to the network device, so that the network device replaces or stores (adds) this model identification information; if the model identification information and model version information of this model are the same as the model information notified by the network device, the terminal does not perform the model identification process of this model.

[0329] Method 2: When a new model needs to be identified by the terminal, if the terminal determines that the new model is the same as the model identification information of the model notified by the network device, that is, the model has been identified, the terminal will send a second notification message to the network device, and the second notification message carries the corresponding model version information of the new model. If the network device receives the version information of the model sent by the terminal and finds that it is consistent with the model version information on the current network device side, then the network device does not respond to the terminal or the network device responds that the terminal does not need to perform model identification (such as sending an indication message to the terminal). If the network device finds that it is a model update, then the network device sends a third message to request the terminal to send model identification information or indicates that the model is not identified. The terminal will report the model identification information to the network device based on the network's request or indication.

[0330] Method 3: Based on method 2, the terminal also sends the model identification information of this model to the network device when sending the model version information. If the network device finds that the model version information is consistent, it discards this model identification information. If it finds that it is a model update, it replaces or stores (adds) this model identification information.

[0331] Application Scenario 3: Network devices determine whether a new model is a recognized model

[0332] As shown in Figure 4, the specific implementation process includes the following:

[0333] Step 41: The terminal downloads the new model;

[0334] Step 42: The terminal sends second information to the network device, where the second information includes model identification information of the new model;

[0335] If there are multiple models that need to be identified on the terminal side, a process can be triggered once to send all model identification information that need to be identified to the network, that is, send the second information once, or the terminal can trigger multiple model identification processes separately to send the model identification information to the network device separately, that is, send the second information multiple times.

[0336] Step 43: The network device determines whether to request the terminal to perform model recognition based on the second information. If the terminal is requested to perform model recognition, step 44 is executed. Otherwise, the network device does not respond to the terminal.

[0337] Step 44: The network device determines that the terminal is requested to perform model recognition, and sends a model recognition request to the terminal, where the model recognition request includes model identification information.

[0338] If the terminal sends all model identification information required for model recognition to the network device at one time, the network device may also carry the model identification information of multiple models to request model recognition information of multiple models when sending the model recognition request.

[0339] Step 45: The terminal sends model identification information of the corresponding model to the network device in response to the model identification request of the network device;

[0340] If the network device requests model identification information of multiple models at one time, the terminal may report the model identification information of multiple models to the network device at one time.

[0341] Step 46: The network device receives the model identification information sent by the terminal and stores the model identification information.

[0342] Application Scenario 4: Network Device Determines Whether the Update Model is an Identified Model

[0343] This application scenario can refer to application scenario three. The difference is that when a new model needs to be identified, the terminal can carry the model version information of this model when sending the model identification information to the network device (that is, the second information in step 42 in application scenario three also carries the model version information). The network device can determine whether to request the terminal to report the model identification information of this model based on the model version information of this model. If the network device determines that the model identification information of this model already exists (that is, this model has been model identified), but the model version information of this model stored in the current network device is different from the model version information of this model reported by the terminal, it can be considered a model update, and the network can request the terminal to report the new version of the model identification information.

[0344] It should be noted that at least one embodiment of the present disclosure can avoid redundant model identification processes and reduce air interface signaling overhead.
