Optionally, if the first state parameter is used to indicate the current state of the network device, the network device may send information to the terminal, the information including the state parameter of the network device at the current moment.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first state parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0183] (1) Terminal speed.

[0184] In some embodiments, the speed of the terminal refers to the moving speed of the terminal. Optionally, when the terminal is in a moving state, the terminal can obtain its own speed and then determine the first state parameter of the terminal.

[0185] (2) The remaining energy of the terminal.

[0186] In some embodiments, the remaining energy of the terminal can be understood as the remaining power of the terminal. That is, the terminal determines that the first state parameter includes the remaining power of the terminal.

[0187] (3) The terminal's transmit power or operating power.

[0188] In some embodiments, the transmit power may also be understood as the transmit power of the terminal. In some embodiments, the operating power of the terminal refers to the power of the terminal when it is working.

[0189] (4) The computing power of the terminal.

[0190] In some embodiments, the computing power is expressed in FLOPs (floating point operations per second).

[0191] (5) The location of the terminal.

[0192] In some embodiments, the location of the terminal refers to the current geographical location of the terminal. Optionally, the location of the terminal can be understood as a GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning location, or the location of the current cell, or the relative position between the terminal and the network device, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0193] (6) The type of business performed by the terminal.

[0194] In some embodiments, the service type includes any one of audio, video, multimedia, and voice.

[0195] (7) Antenna configuration of the terminal.

[0196] In some embodiments, the antenna configuration includes the number of antenna ports of the terminal.

[0197] (8) The rotation speed of the terminal.

[0198] (9) Storage space of the terminal.

[0199] In some embodiments, the storage space is represented by bits.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first state parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0201] (1) Cell type of network equipment.

[0202] In some embodiments, the cell type includes at least one of a macro cell (Macro), a micro cell (Micro), and a dense urban cell (Dense Urban).

[0203] (2) The scenario where the network equipment is located.

[0204] In some embodiments, the network device is located indoors or outdoors.

[0205] (3) Channel quality of network equipment.

[0206] In some embodiments, the channel quality includes at least one of RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality), or SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio).

[0207] (4) Frequency of network equipment.

[0208] (5) The location of network equipment.

[0212] (8) Transmitting power of network equipment.

[0213] (9) Wireless network configuration of network devices.

[0214] Step S2102: The terminal determines that the first state parameter meets the first condition and sends first information to the network device.

[0215] In some embodiments, the first information is used to adjust the AI ​​model or AI function. In some embodiments, the training of the AI ​​model requires the collection of a large amount of data, and different application scenarios require different data. Application scenarios may include mobile communication system processes such as beam management, CSI (Channel State Information) reporting, CSI compression, positioning, switching, mobility management, and radio resource management.

[0216] In some embodiments, during beam management, the terminal can reduce the number of measured beams. The terminal or base station then uses AI inference to determine the optimal beam. Beam prediction includes spatial and temporal beam prediction. In spatial beam prediction, the terminal measures a small number of beams and predicts the measurement results of other beams. In temporal beam prediction, the terminal uses historical beam measurement results to predict future beam measurement results.

[0217] In some embodiments, during the CSI reporting process, the terminal can compress the CSI measurement results using AI and report the compressed CSI measurement results to the base station. Upon receiving the compressed CSI measurement results, the base station can restore the original CSI measurement results using AI. This reduces the number of signaling bits required during the reporting process. The base station can also predict future CSI based on the historical CSI measurement results reported by the terminal.

[0218] In some embodiments, during the positioning process, the terminal may predict an accurate position based on limited measurement results.

[0219] In some embodiments, during mobility, a terminal can predict cell measurement results, handover target cells, or mobility events. Predicting future cell measurement results is called time-domain prediction. Alternatively, predicting measurement results for unmeasured cells is called spatial-domain prediction. Mobility events include measurement reporting condition satisfaction, handover failure, cell dwell time, and radio link failure.

[0220] In some embodiments, during the use and reasoning of AI, multiple AI models or AI functions may be required for reasoning and prediction. An AI function implements a specific function and may include one or more AI models.

[0221] In some embodiments, management of an AI model or AI function includes activation, deactivation, and switching of the AI ​​model or function.

[0222] In some embodiments, the first state parameter is determined by the current state of the terminal or network device.

[0223] In some embodiments, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0224] (1) The first state parameter changes.

[0225] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the first state parameter obtained by the terminal, the state parameter may change at different times. If the terminal determines that the obtained first state parameter has changed, it means that the first condition is met.

[0226] (2) The first state parameter is different from the second condition.

[0227] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first state parameter may be compared with the second condition, and when it is determined that the first state parameter is different from the second condition, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied.

[0228] In some embodiments, the second condition refers to the condition corresponding to the AI ​​model or AI function being used. Alternatively, the second condition refers to the condition of the network device configuration. The parameters included in the second condition are similar to the description of the first state parameter in the above embodiment. In some embodiments, the second condition is a numerical range. If the first state parameter is not within the numerical range corresponding to the second condition, it means that the first state parameter is different from the second condition. In some embodiments, the second condition is a numerical value. If the numerical value corresponding to the first state parameter is different from the numerical value corresponding to the second condition, it means that the first state parameter is different from the second condition.

[0229] For example, the second condition includes at least one of the terminal-side parameters:

[0230] (1) Terminal speed.

[0231] (2) The remaining energy of the terminal.

[0232] (3) The terminal's transmit power or operating power.

[0233] (4) The computing power of the terminal.

[0234] (5) The location of the terminal.

[0235] (6) The type of business performed by the terminal.

[0236] (7) Antenna configuration of the terminal.

[0237] (8) The rotation speed of the terminal.

[0238] (9) Storage space of the terminal.

[0239] For example, the third condition includes at least one of the parameters on the network device side:

[0240] (1) Cell type of network equipment.

[0241] (2) The scenario where the network equipment is located.

[0242] (3) Channel quality of network equipment.

[0243] (4) Frequency of network equipment.

[0244] (5) The location of network equipment.

[0245] (6) The distance between network devices and other network devices.

[0246] (7) Antenna configuration of network equipment.

[0247] (8) Transmitting power of network equipment.

[0248] (9) Wireless network configuration of network devices.

[0249] Below, an example is given to illustrate how to determine whether the second condition is met based on the first state parameter. For example, the first state parameter includes the speed of the terminal. If the speed of the terminal is different from the speed of the terminal included in the second condition, it means that the first state parameter meets the first condition. Alternatively, the first state parameter includes the speed of the terminal and the storage space of the terminal. If the speed of the terminal is different from the speed of the terminal included in the second condition, and the storage space of the terminal is different from the storage space of the terminal included in the second condition, it means that the first state parameter meets the first condition. If the first state parameter includes the transmission power of the network device, if the transmission power of the network device is different from the transmission power of the network device included in the second condition, it means that the first state parameter meets the first condition. It should be noted that the above is only an example, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the parameters included in the first state parameter or the second condition.

[0250] In some embodiments, the second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0251] 1. Conditions indicated by network equipment.

[0252] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device configures the second condition for the terminal, and the terminal can subsequently determine whether the first state parameter meets the first condition based on the configured second condition.

[0253] 2. The conditions corresponding to the AI ​​model being used.

[0254] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal currently uses an AI model, and the AI ​​model corresponds to a second condition, and the condition corresponding to the AI ​​model being used is determined as the second condition.

[0255] In some embodiments, the AI ​​model and the second condition have a corresponding relationship. Alternatively, it can be understood that the AI ​​model and the second condition have a one-to-one correspondence. For example, AI model A corresponds to condition 1, AI model B corresponds to condition 2, and AI model C corresponds to condition 3. If the AI ​​model in use is AI model B, then the second condition corresponding to AI model B is determined to be condition 2.

[0256] In some embodiments, the AI ​​model in use may also be referred to as an activated AI model.

[0257] 3. Conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function currently in use.

[0258] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal currently has an AI function in use, and the AI ​​function corresponds to a second condition, and the condition corresponding to the AI ​​function in use is determined as the second condition.

[0259] In some embodiments, the AI ​​function being used may also be referred to as an activated AI function.

[0260] In some embodiments, AI functions and conditions have a corresponding relationship, and based on this correspondence, the condition corresponding to the AI ​​function in use can be determined. In some embodiments, the AI ​​function has a corresponding relationship with the second condition. Alternatively, it can be understood that the AI ​​functions and the second conditions have a one-to-one correspondence. For example, AI function A corresponds to condition 1, AI function B corresponds to condition 2, and AI function C corresponds to condition 3. If the AI ​​function in use is AI function B, then the second condition corresponding to AI function B is determined to be condition 2.

[0261] In some embodiments, if multiple AI models exist in a terminal and all have the same AI function, it can be understood that one AI function corresponds to multiple AI models. Therefore, when determining the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function, the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function can be determined based on the multiple AI models corresponding to the AI ​​function. For example, AI function A1 corresponds to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3, and AI function A2 corresponds to AI model 4 and AI model 5. To determine the conditions corresponding to AI function A1, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3. To determine the conditions corresponding to AI function A2, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 4 and AI model 5.

[0262] In some embodiments, the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function include the conditions corresponding to at least one AI model associated with the AI ​​function. For example, if the conditions corresponding to AI function A1 are determined, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3, for example, the conditions corresponding to AI model 1 are determined as the conditions corresponding to AI function A1, or the conditions corresponding to AI model 1 and AI model 2 are determined as the conditions corresponding to AI function A1. In some embodiments, the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function include the conditions corresponding to all AI models associated with the AI ​​function. For example, if the conditions corresponding to AI function A1 are determined, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3, for example, the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3 are determined as the conditions corresponding to AI function A1.

[0263] It should be noted that in embodiments of the present disclosure, a network device may indicate an AI model or AI function to be used by a terminal. In some embodiments, the network device sends a second message to the terminal, and the terminal receives the second message sent by the network device. The second message indicates the AI ​​model or AI function to be used; or the second message indicates whether to enable or disable an AI function.

[0264] (3) The first state parameter is the same as the third condition.

[0265] In some embodiments, the third condition is a numerical range. If the first state parameter is within the numerical range corresponding to the third condition, it indicates that the first state parameter is the same as the third condition. In some embodiments, the third condition is a numerical value. If the numerical value corresponding to the first state parameter is the same as the numerical value corresponding to the third condition, it indicates that the first state parameter is the same as the third condition.

[0266] For example, the third condition includes at least one of the terminal-side parameters:

[0267] (1) Terminal speed.

[0268] (2) The remaining energy of the terminal.

[0269] (3) The terminal's transmit power or operating power.

[0270] (4) The computing power of the terminal.

[0271] (5) The location of the terminal.

[0272] (6) The type of business performed by the terminal.

[0273] (7) Antenna configuration of the terminal.

[0274] (8) The rotation speed of the terminal.

[0275] (9) Storage space of the terminal.

[0276] For example, the third condition includes at least one of the parameters on the network device side:

[0277] (1) Cell type of network equipment.

[0278] (2) The scenario where the network equipment is located.

[0279] (3) Channel quality of network equipment.

[0280] (4) Frequency of network equipment.

[0281] (5) The location of network equipment.

[0282] (6) The distance between network devices and other network devices.

[0283] (7) Antenna configuration of network equipment.

[0284] (8) Transmitting power of network equipment.

[0285] (9) Wireless network configuration of network devices.

[0286] Below, an example is given to illustrate how to determine whether the third condition is met based on the first state parameter. For example, the first state parameter includes the speed of the terminal. If the speed of the terminal is the same as the speed of the terminal included in the third condition, then the first state parameter satisfies the first condition. Alternatively, the first state parameter includes the speed of the terminal and the storage space of the terminal. If the speed of the terminal is the same as the speed of the terminal included in the third condition, and the storage space of the terminal is the same as the storage space of the terminal included in the third condition, then the first state parameter satisfies the first condition. If the first state parameter includes the transmit power of the network device, if the transmit power of the network device is the same as the transmit power of the network device included in the third condition, then the first state parameter satisfies the first condition. It should be noted that the above is only an example, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the first state parameter or the parameters included in the third condition.

[0287] In some embodiments, the third condition includes at least one of the following:

[0288] 1. Conditions indicated by network equipment.

[0289] 2. Conditions corresponding to unused AI models.

[0290] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an unused AI model currently exists in the terminal, and the AI ​​model corresponds to the second condition, and the condition corresponding to the unused AI model is determined as the third condition.

[0291] In some embodiments, an unused AI model may also be referred to as an inactivated AI model.

[0292] 3. Conditions corresponding to unused AI functions.

[0293] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal currently has an unused AI function, and the AI ​​function corresponds to a third condition, and the condition corresponding to the unused AI function is determined as the third condition.

[0294] In some embodiments, unused AI functions may also be referred to as inactivated AI functions.

[0295] In some embodiments, AI functions correspond to conditions, and based on this correspondence, the corresponding conditions for unused AI functions can be determined. In some embodiments, AI functions correspond to the second condition. Alternatively, it can be understood that there is a one-to-one correspondence between AI functions and second conditions. For example, AI function A corresponds to condition 1, AI function B corresponds to condition 2, and AI function C corresponds to condition 3. If the AI ​​function in use is AI function B, then the second condition corresponding to AI function B is determined to be condition 2.

[0296] In some embodiments, if multiple AI models exist in a terminal and all have the same AI function, it can be understood that one AI function corresponds to multiple AI models. Therefore, when determining the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function, the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function can be determined based on the multiple AI models corresponding to the AI ​​function. For example, AI function A1 corresponds to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3, and AI function A2 corresponds to AI model 4 and AI model 5. To determine the conditions corresponding to AI function A1, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3. To determine the conditions corresponding to AI function A2, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 4 and AI model 5.

[0297] In some embodiments, the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function include the conditions corresponding to at least one AI model associated with the AI ​​function. For example, if the conditions corresponding to AI function A1 are determined, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3, for example, the conditions corresponding to AI model 1 are determined as the conditions corresponding to AI function A1, or the conditions corresponding to AI model 1 and AI model 2 are determined as the conditions corresponding to AI function A1. In some embodiments, the conditions corresponding to the AI ​​function include the conditions corresponding to all AI models associated with the AI ​​function. For example, if the conditions corresponding to AI function A1 are determined, it is necessary to determine based on the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3, for example, the conditions corresponding to AI model 1, AI model 2, and AI model 3 are determined as the conditions corresponding to AI function A1.

[0298] It should be noted that in embodiments of the present disclosure, a network device may indicate an AI model or AI function to be used by a terminal. In some embodiments, the network device sends a second message to the terminal, and the terminal receives the second message sent by the network device. The second message indicates the AI ​​model or AI function to be used; or the second message indicates whether to enable or disable an AI function.

[0299] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information is used to indicate the AI ​​model or AI function in use, and can also be understood as the network device instructing the terminal through the second information to adjust the AI ​​model or AI function in use to the AI ​​model or AI function indicated by the second information. Alternatively, the second information can also be understood as the network device instructing the terminal through the second information to switch to the AI ​​model or AI function to be used in the future. For example, after receiving the second information, the terminal switches the AI ​​model or AI function in use to the AI ​​model or AI function indicated by the second information. Alternatively, after receiving the second information, the terminal deactivates the AI ​​model or AI function in use and sets the AI ​​model or AI function indicated by the second information to be enabled.

[0300] In some embodiments, the terminal determines that the first state parameter satisfies the first condition and sends the first information to the network device, including: the terminal determines that the first state parameter satisfies the first condition, and the duration for which the first state parameter satisfies the first condition is greater than or equal to the first duration, and sends the first information to the network device.

[0301] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0302] (1) First state parameter.

[0303] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may report the first state parameter to the network device. After obtaining the first state parameter, the network device may adjust the AI ​​model or AI function based on the first state parameter.

[0304] In some embodiments, adjusting the AI ​​model or AI function can be understood as turning the AI ​​model or AI function on or off, or switching the AI ​​model or AI function, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0305] (2) AI model corresponding to the first state parameter.

[0306] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first state parameter also corresponds to an AI model, so the corresponding AI model can be determined through the first state parameter, and the AI ​​model can be reported subsequently.

[0307] (3) AI function corresponding to the first state parameter.

[0308] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first state parameter also corresponds to an AI function, so the corresponding AI function can be determined through the first state parameter, and the AI ​​function can be reported subsequently.

[0309] Step S2103: The network device receives the first information sent by the terminal.

[0310] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the network device receives the first information sent by the terminal, it can determine the operating status of the AI ​​model or AI function based on the first information, and subsequently adjust the AI ​​model or AI function based on the operating status of the AI ​​model or AI function.

[0311] Step S2104: The network device adjusts the AI ​​model or AI function based on the first information.

[0312] In some embodiments, if the first information includes an AI model corresponding to the first state parameter, it indicates that the AI ​​model satisfies the first condition and is suitable for the current state, and the network device can instruct the use of the AI ​​model. Optionally, the network device instructs the deactivation of the AI ​​model currently in use and the activation of the AI ​​model corresponding to the first state parameter.

[0313] In some embodiments, if the first information includes an AI function corresponding to the first state parameter, it indicates that the AI ​​function is a model that meets the first condition, indicating that the AI ​​function is in compliance with the current state, and the network device can instruct the use of the AI ​​function. Optionally, the network device instructs the deactivation of the AI ​​function in use and the activation of the AI ​​function corresponding to the first state parameter.

[0314] In some embodiments, if the first information includes a first state parameter, it indicates that the first state parameter satisfies the first condition, and the network device may instruct the use of the AI ​​model or AI function corresponding to the first state parameter. Optionally, the network device instructs the deactivation of the AI ​​model or AI function currently in use and the activation of the AI ​​model or AI function corresponding to the first state parameter.
