[0042] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, elements expressed in the singular form, such as "a," "an," "the," "the aforementioned," "this," etc., can mean "one and only one," or "one or more," "at least one," etc. For example, when using articles such as "a," "an," "the," etc. in translation, the noun following the article can be understood as either a singular or a plural expression.

[0061] Machine learning algorithms are one of the most important methods for implementing artificial intelligence technology. Machine learning can obtain models through massive amounts of training data, and these models can predict time. In many fields, models trained by machine learning can achieve highly accurate prediction results. An AI function is a collection of AI models that can be used for specific functions. Inference from an AI model or function can be executed on the terminal side or run on the network side. Management of AI models or functions includes activation, deactivation, and switching. Each AI model or function corresponds to a unique ID. The inference result output by the AI ​​can correspond to an indicator, which indicates the degree of certainty that the AI's inference result matches the true value. This indicator can be confidence, accuracy, or probability. When AI inference runs on the terminal side, the terminal can use the inference results locally to assist in handover, such as selecting a cell to handover based on the AI ​​inference results or scaling handover parameters. The terminal can also send the inference results to the network, which selects a target cell to handover or configures handover parameters based on the inference results reported by the terminal. However, during the handover process, the AI ​​inference results may result in handover failure or ping-pong handover, meaning the AI ​​inference results are inaccurate or the AI ​​performance is poor.

[0062] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure proposes an AI-assisted switching scheme that collects relevant data when switching fails or occurs during ping-pong switching. This collected data is then used to train the AI ​​model or function, thereby updating the AI ​​model based on this data and improving system performance.

[0063] Therefore, this disclosure proposes a communication method, device, and storage medium. By storing first information when a first condition and a second condition are met during the cell handover process of a terminal, the first information is used to train a first model, and the first model is used for handover prediction. The communication method of this disclosure enables the terminal to collect handover data when AI performance is poor, thereby training and updating the AI ​​model based on this data and improving system performance.

[0064] The method proposed in this disclosure is applicable to various communication systems, including but not limited to 4G, 5G, 5G-advance and subsequent communication technologies (such as 6G).

[0087] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment of the disclosure relates to a communication method that can be executed by a communication system, such as the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1. The communication system includes a terminal and a network device. The interactive method may include the following steps:

[0088] Step 2101: The terminal determines whether the first condition and the second condition are met.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first condition is that a first model was used during cell handover.

[0090] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cell before the terminal performs cell handover can be referred to as the serving cell, the stationary cell, the source cell, etc., and the cell after the terminal performs cell handover can be referred to as the target cell, the cell to be handed over, etc.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first model may be an AI model or an AI function, and the AI ​​function may be a collection of multiple AI models used to implement an AI function, such as predictive beam.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second condition includes at least one of the following: cell handover process failure; ping-pong handover occurring during cell handover. Ping-pong handover indicates that the terminal experiences frequent handovers during the cell handover process.

[0093] In some embodiments, upon the occurrence of a first event, the terminal determines whether the cell handover process meets a first condition. In other words, the terminal determines whether the first condition is met only after the occurrence of the first event.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first event includes at least one of the following: the terminal switches according to the inference result of the first model; the terminal sends the inference result of the first model to the network device; the terminal adjusts the switching parameters according to the inference result of the first model.

[0095] In the above embodiments, the first event is used to determine that the terminal used AI functions during the handover process.

[0096] In some embodiments, the inference result includes at least one of the following: the measurement result of the predicted cell; the identifier of the target cell; the handover success information of the target cell; the handover failure information of the target cell; the dwell time of the terminal in the target cell; the time period during which a successful handover to the target cell can be achieved; the time period during which a handover to the target cell fails; and mobility events.

[0097] In some embodiments, the terminal may switch based on the inference result of the first model by including the identifier of the target cell or the handover success information of the target cell in the inference result of the first model. The target cell is the serving cell after the terminal performs the handover, and the terminal switches the serving cell to the target cell based on the inference result.

[0098] In some embodiments, the terminal may switch based on the inference result of the first model if the inference result of the first model includes handover failure information of the target cell, and the terminal may not switch the serving cell to the target cell based on the inference result.

[0099] In some embodiments, the terminal may switch based on the inference result of the first model, where the inference result of the first model includes the measurement results of the predicted cells, and the terminal selects a cell from the predicted cells for switching based on the measurement results.

[0100] In some embodiments, the terminal may switch based on the inference result of the first model, where the inference result of the first model includes a time period during which the terminal can successfully switch to the target cell, and the terminal switches the serving cell from the original cell to the target cell within the time period based on the inference result.

[0101] For example, the inference result of the first model includes a time period of 1 second during which the terminal successfully switches to the target cell. Based on this inference result, if the terminal can switch within 1 second within the service range of the target cell, it will switch; if it cannot switch within 1 second outside the service range of the target cell, it will not switch.

[0102] In some embodiments, the terminal may switch based on the inference result of the first model if the inference result of the first model includes the time period during which the terminal failed to switch to the target cell. Based on the inference result, the terminal will not switch the serving cell to the target cell.

[0103] For example, the inference result of the first model includes that the terminal will fail to switch to the target cell if it takes more than 2 seconds. Based on this inference result, if the terminal is not within the service range of the target cell and it would take more than 2 seconds to switch to the target cell, then the terminal will not switch the serving cell to the target cell.

[0104] In some embodiments, the terminal sending the inference result of the first model to the network device may be that the terminal sent the inference result of the first model to the network device before the handover.

[0105] In some embodiments, the terminal adjusts the handover parameters according to the inference result of the first model. For example, if the inference result of the first model is a successful handover message for the target cell, the terminal adjusts the handover parameters to the parameters for handing over the serving cell to the target cell based on the successful handover message.

[0106] In some embodiments, the terminal adjusts the handover parameters according to the inference result of the first model. For example, if the inference result of the first model is a handover failure message for the target cell, the terminal adjusts the handover parameters to parameters that enable the serving cell to be switched to a cell that can be successfully switched.

[0107] In some embodiments, the terminal adjusts the handover parameters according to the inference result of the first model. For example, if the inference result of the first model is the dwell time of the terminal in the target cell, then the terminal adjusts the handover parameters to parameters that enable handover to the target cell within the dwell time.

[0108] For example, the terminal selects a target cell for handover based on the reasoning results of an AI model or AI function. The reasoning results include information on handover failure or success, and the predicted cell dwell time, where the predicted cell dwell time can be the time the terminal can stay in the candidate cell.

[0109] For example, the terminal reports the inference results of the AI ​​model or AI function to the network. The inference results include: the measurement results of the predicted cell, which may be the measurement values ​​of the reference signal or beam of the candidate cell; the identifier of the target cell, which may be a recommended target cell for the terminal to perform cell handover, i.e., the terminal directly hands over to the target cell; and mobility events, including measurement reporting conditions being met, handover failure cells, cell dwell time, radio link failure, etc., where the measurement reporting conditions being met include neighboring cells having higher signal quality than the current cell.

[0110] For example, the terminal adjusts the handover parameters based on the inference results of the AI ​​model or AI function. The inference results include information on whether the handover was successful or failed, and the cell dwell time. The handover parameters can be parameters for conditional handover, where the duration of conditional handover is as close as possible to the predicted time. The handover parameters can also be parameters reported by measurement, where those that are easier to handover successfully are more likely to be reported.

[0111] In some embodiments, the predicted cell measurement results include at least one of the following: the measurement value of the terminal's serving cell in a future time period; the measurement value of the serving cell's neighboring cells in a future time period; and the measurement value of the second cell predicted from the measurement value of the first cell.

[0112] For example, a terminal can predict future cell measurement results, which is called temporal prediction, i.e., predicting the future measurement results of the current or neighboring cells, or predicting the measurement results of unmeasured cells, i.e., using the measurement results of two already measured neighboring cells to predict the measurement results of a third neighboring cell, which is called spatial prediction.

[0113] For example, the terminal performs cell handover based on the inference results of the AI ​​model or AI function. The inference results of the AI ​​model or AI function assist the terminal in performing cell handover. When the terminal selects the target cell for handover based on the inference results of the AI ​​model or AI function, or reports the inference results of the AI ​​model or AI function to the network before handover, or adjusts the handover parameters based on the inference results of the AI ​​model or AI function, it means that the terminal used the AI ​​model or AI function during the cell handover process. In other words, the terminal activated the AI ​​model or AI function during the cell handover process.

[0114] In the above embodiments, if the terminal activates an AI model or AI function during the switching process and a switching failure or ping-pong switching occurs, it indicates that the performance of the AI ​​model or AI function used by the terminal is poor.

[0115] Step 2102: The terminal stores the first information.

[0116] In some embodiments, when the terminal meets a first condition and a second condition during the cell handover process, it stores first information, wherein the first information is used to train a first model, and the first model is used for handover prediction.

[0117] For example, when the AI ​​model or AI function being used by the terminal has poor performance, data is collected. The collected data is used to train and update the AI ​​model or AI function to improve system performance.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following: the inference result of the first model; the index corresponding to the inference result of the first model; the identifier of the first model; the function corresponding to the first model; the application conditions when the inference result of the first model is obtained; the handover failure indication; the ping-pong handover indication; the identifier of the source cell; and the identifier of the target cell.

[0119] In some embodiments, the metrics include at least one of the following: confidence level; accuracy; probability.

[0120] In some embodiments, the application conditions include at least one of the following: the terminal's moving speed; the terminal's battery level; the terminal's power; the terminal's computing power; the terminal's location; the terminal's service type; the terminal's antenna configuration; the terminal's rotation speed; the terminal's storage space; the network device's cell type; the network device's network deployment scenario; the network device's wireless channel quality; the network device's cell frequency; the network device's cell location; the distance between network devices; the network device's antenna configuration; the network device's transmit power; and the network device's digital parameter representation (Numerology).

[0121] In some embodiments, the application conditions can be terminal-side conditions, wherein the terminal's computing power can be measured by the number of floating-point operations per second (FLOPs), the terminal's location can be a geographical location or a location within a cell, the terminal's service type can be audio, video, multimedia, voice, etc., the terminal's antenna configuration can be the number of ports, and the terminal's storage space can be measured in bits.

[0122] In some embodiments, the application conditions can be network-side conditions, wherein the cell type can be macro cell, micro cell, urban dense cell, etc., the network deployment scenario can be indoor or outdoor, the wireless channel quality can be determined by the reference signal receiving power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal-to-noise ratio (SINR), etc., and the antenna configuration can be the number of ports, the number of MIMO layers, etc.

[0123] In some embodiments, the index corresponding to the inference result of the first model indicates the degree of certainty that the inference result of the first model matches the true value.

[0124] In some embodiments, the application conditions for obtaining the inference result of the first model represent the conditions for applying the first model to perform inference. The application conditions include terminal-side conditions or network-side conditions. The AI ​​model or AI function can achieve better performance under the application conditions.

[0125] Step 2103: The terminal sends the first information to the network device.

[0126] In some embodiments, if the cell handover process of the terminal meets the first condition and the second condition, the terminal sends the first information to the network device.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first model is deployed on a network device. When the terminal meets the first condition and the second condition during the cell handover process, it collects the first information and sends the first information to the network device, which is used by the network device to update the first model during the training of the first model and improve system performance.

[0128] For example, if an AI model or AI function is trained on the network side, and the terminal fails to hand over to a cell or a ping-pong handover occurs while using the AI ​​model or AI function, the terminal collects relevant data and sends the data to the network side for training and updating the AI ​​model or AI function.

[0129] In the above embodiments, the terminal collects first information because the handover fails or a ping-pong handover occurs during the cell handover process due to the use of the first model. The first information is then sent to the network device for the network device to train and update the first model, and the updated first model is used for handover prediction.

[0130] The communication method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure may include at least one of steps 2101 to 2103. For example, step 2101 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step 2102 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, and so on, but is not limited thereto.

[0144] In embodiments of this disclosure, step 3201 may be combined with step 3103 in FIG3A.

[0145] In summary, the communication method proposed in this disclosure stores first information when the terminal's cell handover process meets a first condition and a second condition. This first information is used to train a first model, and the first model is used for handover prediction. This communication method enables the terminal to collect handover data when AI performance is poor, thereby training and updating the AI ​​model based on this data and improving system performance.

[0146] The following describes a communication method provided by an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0147] AI models or AI functions can achieve good performance under specific application conditions, which can be divided into network-side conditions and UE-side conditions.

The UE can select the target cell based on the inferred handover failure or success information, or it can select the target cell based on the predicted cell dwell time. The UE can also select the target cell based on the time period of handover success or failure.

[0158] Before handover, the UE reports the results of AI inference to the network. The results of AI inference can be predicted cell measurement results, handover target cell, or mobility events. Among them, the UE can predict future cell measurement results, i.e., spatial prediction, or predict the measurement results of unmeasured cells, i.e., spatial prediction. Mobility events include measurement reporting conditions being met, handover failure cells, cell dwell time, radio link failure, etc.

[0159] The UE adjusts the handover parameters based on the AI ​​inference results. The UE can adjust the handover condition parameters or the measurement and reporting parameters based on the handover failure or success and the cell dwell time.

[0169] Step 2: The UE reports the first information to the network.
