In other examples, a helicopter or a drone can be configured to serve as a device that communicates with another base station.

[0031] The communication devices involved in the wireless communication system can include not only access network devices and terminal devices, but also core network elements. The core network elements can be implemented by devices, that is, the core network elements are core network devices. It can be understood that the core network devices can also be a kind of network devices.

[0035] It should be understood that all or part of the functions of the communication devices in the present application can also be implemented by software functions running on hardware, or by virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform).

[0036] Data collection function in a communication system

[0037] In order to realize the self-optimization or self-management of part of the functions of the network device, some communication protocols (such as 5G R16 and subsequent protocol versions) introduce some functions related to data collection. The following is an example.

[0038] Self-organizing networks (SON) and minimization of drive tests (MDT) functions, mainly used for function optimization related data collection. For example, the collected data can include one or more of the following: data required for functions such as handover optimization, coverage optimization, random access optimization, etc. The subject of data collection can be operation administration and maintenance (OAM). How to use the collected data and the definition of optimization behavior can be handled based on the implementation.

[0039] Network data analytics function (NWDAF) is mainly used for function optimization analysis. This function entity can be deployed in the core network. For each optimization target, the NWDAF entity defines the type of data to be collected and the possible data sources, and also gives the possible optimization analysis behavior output. How to use the collected data to get the optimization analysis behavior output can be handled by implementation.

[0040] Management data analytics (MDA) function is mainly used for function optimization analysis. This function entity can be deployed in OAM. For each optimization target, the MDA entity defines the type of data to be collected and the possible data sources, and also gives the possible optimization analysis behavior output. How to use the collected data to get the optimization analysis behavior output can be handled by implementation. Unlike the NWDAF function, the MDA function entity can use the data output by the NWDAF function entity.

[0041] When using the data collected by the prior art, there can be some problems. For example, based on the collected data, a model can be trained or inferred. The model may, for example, be an AI model. The data collected by the prior art has too wide a background, lacks effective data classification means, and is not conducive to the training of the AI model.

[0042] Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of a wireless communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application to solve the above problems.

[0043] The method shown in Figure 2 can be performed by a first device and a second device. The first device can be a data collector or a data acquirer. The second device can be a data collector.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first device and the second device can each comprise the communication device described above. For example, the first device can comprise a terminal device, and the second device can comprise a network device. For another example, the first device can comprise a network device, and the second device can comprise a terminal device. For another example, the first device can comprise an access network device, and the second device can comprise a core network device. For another example, the first device can comprise a first terminal device, and the second device can comprise a second terminal device. For another example, the first device can comprise a first network device, and the second device can comprise a second network device.

[0045] It should be noted that the network device can comprise one or more of the following: an access network device, a core network device, an OAM device. Exemplarily, the access network device can comprise one or more of the following: a gNB, a CU, a DU, a centralized unit-control plane (CU-CP), a centralized unit-user plane (CU-UP). Exemplarily, the core network device can comprise one or more of the following: a location management function (LMF) network element, a network slice selection function (NSSF), an authentication server function (AUSF), a unified data management (UDM), an access and mobility management function (AMF), a session management function (SMF), a policy control function (PCF), a user plane function (UPF), a sensing function (SF), a network data analytics function (NWDAF) network element, an AI function management entity.

[0046] The method shown in FIG. 2 can comprise step S210.

[0047] In step S210, the first device sends first information to the second device.

[0048] The first information can be used for reporting the data collected by the first device. In the case that the first device comprises a terminal device and the second device comprises a network device, the first information can be used for reporting the data collected by the terminal device to the network device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first information can indicate information associated with the data collected by the first device. In other words, the first information can comprise other information in addition to the data collected by the first device. For example, the first information can indicate configuration information when the data is collected by the first device. Based on this, the first information can be used to distinguish the data collected by the first device under different configurations. Alternatively, the first information can be used to classify the information associated with the data collected by the first device. Therefore, based on the first information, the classification of the data collected by the first device can be achieved, i.e. effectively distinguishing different types of data. Based on the data for which the classification is achieved, a model with better performance can be obtained (e.g. by model training).

[0050] In some embodiments, the information associated with the data collected by the first device can comprise frequency domain indication information. The frequency domain indication information can be used to indicate frequency domain information related to the data collected by the first device. For example, the frequency domain indication information can be related to one or more of the following: frequency point, subcarrier spacing, frequency band, bandwidth, etc.

[0051] Based on the frequency domain indication information, the second device can know the scenario or configuration background related to the received data, so as to facilitate data classification or screening for different scenarios or configurations, and then to train and obtain a model more suitable for a specific scenario or a specific configuration.

[0052] Optionally, the first information can comprise one or more second information. For example, the first information can be of a list data type. Each element in the list data corresponding to the first information can be a second information.

[0053] The second information can be used to indicate: frequency domain indication information, and / or one or more third information. In other words, part or all of the one or more second information included in the first information can be used to indicate: frequency domain indication information and / or one or more third information. For example, each of the one or more second information included in the first information can comprise frequency domain indication information and one or more third information. In some implementations, the second information can be used to indicate one or more third information; in other implementations, the second information can be used to indicate frequency domain indication information and one or more third information.

[0054] The third information can include data collected by the first device. The third information included by the third information can be associated with the frequency domain indication information. That is, the frequency domain indication information indicated by the second information can be associated with part or all of the one or more third information indicated by the second information. That is, part or all of the one or more third information included by the second information can include data collected by the first device. For example, each of the one or more third information can include data collected by the first device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the frequency domain indication information can include one or more of the following: frequency point indication information, subcarrier spacing information, frequency band indication information. The following are described respectively.

[0056] The frequency point indication information can be used to indicate a reference frequency at which the one or more third information is recorded by the first device. In other words, the frequency point indication information can be used to indicate at which reference frequency the one or more third information associated therewith is recorded by the first device. For example, in a case where the third information includes data collected for a first cell, the reference frequency can include a frequency used by the first cell. For another example, in a case where the third information includes data collected for a first frequency, the reference frequency can include the first frequency. For another example, in an inter-cell beam management (ICBM) scenario, the reference frequency can include a synchronization frequency point. The frequency point indication information can be indicated by, for example, an ARFCN-ValueNR parameter.

[0057] The subcarrier spacing information can be used to indicate a subcarrier spacing configuration at which the one or more third information is recorded by the first device. That is, the subcarrier spacing information can be used to indicate at which subcarrier spacing configuration the one or more third information associated therewith is recorded by the first device. The subcarrier spacing information can indicate, for example, one or more of the following subcarrier spacing configurations: 15 kHz, 30 kHz, 60 kHz, 120 kHz, 240 kHz, 480 kHz, 960 kHz, and the like.

[0058] The frequency band indication information can be used to indicate a frequency band to which a reference frequency at which the one or more third information is recorded belongs. In other words, the frequency band indication information can be used to indicate at which frequency band the one or more third information associated therewith is recorded by the first device. The frequency band indication information can indicate, for example, one or more of the following frequency bands: n59, n78, n43, and the like.

[0059] In one implementation, the frequency domain indication information can include only the frequency point indication information.

[0060] In another implementation, the frequency domain indication information can include the frequency point indication information and the subcarrier spacing information. In another implementation, the frequency domain indication information can include the frequency point indication information, the subcarrier spacing information, and the frequency band indication information.

[0061] In yet another implementation, the frequency domain indication information can include frequency point indication information and frequency band indication information.

[0062] In yet another implementation, the frequency domain indication information can include frequency point indication information, subcarrier spacing information and frequency band indication information.

[0063] Different model training data sets can be obtained for different implementations of the information included in the frequency domain indication information. Based on different model training data sets, models with different generalization requirements can be trained.

[0064] In some embodiments, the frequency domain indication information indicated by the second information can be associated with part or all of the third information indicated by the second information. For example, the frequency point indication information can be used to indicate the reference frequency at which part or all of the third information indicated by the second information is recorded. For another example, the subcarrier spacing information can be used to indicate the subcarrier spacing configuration at which part or all of the third information indicated by the second information is recorded. For another example, the frequency band indication information can be used to indicate the frequency band to which the reference frequency at which part or all of the third information indicated by the second information is recorded belongs.

[0065] For the case where the frequency domain indication information indicated by the second information is associated with part of the third information indicated by the second information, it can also be said that the frequency domain indication information is indicated in the granularity of the third information. It can be understood that, in the case where the frequency domain indication information is associated with one third information, the frequency domain indication information is in a one-to-one association relationship with the third information. Alternatively, in the case where the frequency domain resources corresponding to the data collected by the first device are independently configured, the frequency domain indication information can be indicated in the granularity of the third information.

[0066] The frequency domain indication information is indicated in the granularity of the third information, which can make the indication manner of the frequency domain indication information more flexible.

[0067] For the case where the frequency domain indication information indicated by the second information is associated with all of the third information indicated by the second information, it can also be said that the frequency domain indication information is indicated in the granularity of the second information. That is, no matter how many third information are indicated by one second information, the third information indicated by the second information is associated with the frequency domain indication information contained in the second information. In other words, the frequency domain indication information contained in the second information is associated with all of the third information contained in the same second information as a whole. Alternatively, in the case where the frequency domain indication information associated with multiple third information is the same, the third information can be indicated by the same second information, and the frequency domain indication information is extracted as a common information part and juxtaposed with the third information.

[0068] For example, in the ICBM scenario, the terminal device can be configured by the current serving cell to collect data for multiple different cells at the same time. The multiple different cells can be cells with the same synchronization frequency but different associated PCIs. For example, the terminal device can be configured by the current serving cell to collect data for cell 1 (cell 1 is identified by frequency 1 + PCI 1) and cell 2 (cell 2 is identified by frequency 1 + PCI 2) at the same time. In the LTM scenario, the terminal device can be configured by the current serving cell to collect data for multiple different cells at the same time. The multiple different cells can be cells with different frequencies and different PCIs. For example, the terminal device can be configured by the current serving cell to collect data for cell 1 (cell 1 is identified by frequency 1 + PCI 1), cell 2 (cell 2 is identified by frequency 1 + PCI 2), and cell 3 (cell 3 is identified by frequency 2 + PCI 5) at the same time.

[0069] The frequency domain indication information is indicated according to the granularity of the second information, which can save the cost of reporting the frequency domain indication information to a certain extent.

[0070] Table 1 is an example of the first information. In Table 1, the frequency domain indication information is indicated according to the granularity of the second information. n in Table 1 can be a positive integer.

[0071] Table 1

[0072] The following takes the first device as a terminal device and the second device as a network device as an example for illustration. In the ICBM scenario, the serving cell configures six measurement beams for the terminal device, which are beam 1 and beam 2 corresponding to PCI1 (i.e., cell 1), beam 3 and beam 4 corresponding to PCI2 (i.e., cell 2), and beam 5 and beam 6 corresponding to PCI3 (i.e., cell 3). Although these beams are transmitted through different cells, the synchronization frequency points (such as the parameter absoluteFrequencyPointA) associated with these beams are the same, so the terminal device can place the obtained beam measurement results of the above three cells in the same second information. In one implementation, multiple beam measurement result samples of the same cell are placed in the same third information contained in the second information, and multiple beam measurement result samples of different cells are placed in different third information contained in the second information. In another implementation, the beam measurement result samples of multiple cells collected at the same time are placed in the same third information contained in the second information, and the beam measurement result samples collected at different times for multiple cells are placed in different third information contained in the second information, and the synchronization frequency points are placed in the frequency domain indication information (common information) contained in the second information. The frequency domain indication information can indicate that the synchronization frequency points used by the three cells are the same, thereby saving the overhead of reporting the frequency domain indication information to some extent. Optionally, if the synchronization frequency point information used by two cells is different, different second information contained in the first information can be used to record the beam measurement results collected in the respective cells.

[0073] In some embodiments, the data collected by the first device can be in frequency granularity. Illustratively, the first information can report data in frequency granularity. For example, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for a first frequency at one or more times. That is, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for the same frequency at different times. For another example, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for one or more frequencies at a first time. That is, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for different frequencies at the same time.

[0074] In some embodiments, the data collected by the first device can be in cell granularity. Illustratively, the first information can report data in cell granularity. For example, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for a first cell at one or more times. That is, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for the same cell at different times. For another example, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for one or more cells at a first time. That is, the data collected by the first device can include data recorded by the first device for different cells at the same time.

[0075] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the granularity of the data collected by the first device, which can include the cell granularity and / or frequency granularity described above, or other granularity. Hereinafter, the data collected by the first device is described mainly in the granularity of a cell. It can be understood that the technical solutions provided by the present application can also be applied to other granularity.

[0076] Based on the scheme of the data collected by the first device in the granularity of a cell, the present application proposes two implementation modes of the third information (mode 1 and mode 2 described below). The following will be described respectively.

[0077] In mode 1, the data collected by the first device indicated by the third information includes data recorded by the first device for the first cell at one or more time instants

[0078] In some embodiments, the third information can include: identification information of the first cell, and one or more fourth information.

[0079] The present application does not limit the representation mode of the identification information of the cell (including the first cell or other cell mentioned in the present application). For example, the identification information of the first cell can be represented by the PCI of the first cell. For another example, the identification information of the first cell can be represented by the PCI of the first cell and the frequency point information of the first cell. For another example, the identification information of the first cell can be represented by the cell global identifier (CGI).

[0080] The fourth information can be used to indicate the data recorded by the first device for the first cell at one time instant. The data of the first cell recorded at different time instants can be carried in different fourth information. For example, each of the one or more fourth information included in the third information can be used to indicate the data recorded by the first device for the first cell at one time instant.

[0081] Optionally, the fourth information can include information related to measurement. For example, the fourth information can include one or more of the following: measurement result information obtained by measuring a reference signal sent by the first cell; beam identification information corresponding to the measurement result information.

[0082] The present application does not limit the type of reference signal. For example, the reference signal type can include one or more of the following: synchronization signal / PBCH block (SSB), channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or positioning reference signal (PRS).

[0083] The measurement result information obtained by measuring the reference signal transmitted by the first cell can include a measurement quantity of the reference signal. The measurement quantity can include one or more of the following: reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), time of arrival (TOA), time difference of arrival (TDOA).

[0084] In some embodiments, the fourth information can be used to indicate one or more of the following information: the first time information, the first location information. For example, each of the one or more fourth information included in the third information can be used to indicate one or more of the following information: the first time information, the first location information.

[0085] The first time information can be used to indicate the time when the measurement result information (obtained by measuring the reference signal transmitted by the first cell) is recorded. Alternatively, the first time information can be used to indicate the time when the fourth information is recorded. It can be understood that the first time information contained in the fourth information can be associated with the measurement result information and / or the beam identification information corresponding to the measurement result information contained in the same fourth information.

[0086] If the fourth information is used to indicate the first time information, the time when the fourth information is recorded can be explicitly indicated, which is suitable for time-sensitive data collection and model training tasks (e.g., training different AI models by screening data collected in different time periods respectively).

[0087] The first location information can be used to indicate the location of the first device when the measurement result information (obtained by measuring the reference signal transmitted by the first cell) is recorded. Alternatively, the first location information can be used to indicate the location of the first device when the fourth information is recorded. It can be understood that the first location information contained in the fourth information can be associated with the measurement result information and / or the beam identification information corresponding to the measurement result information contained in the same fourth information.

[0088] If the fourth information is used to indicate the first location information, the geographical location where the fourth information is recorded can be explicitly indicated, which is suitable for geographical area-sensitive data collection and model training tasks (e.g., training different models by screening data collected in different geographical areas respectively).

[0089] Optionally, the first location information can directly indicate the location information of the first device when the first device records the measurement result information. That is, in the case that the fourth information is used to indicate the first location information, the first location information can be the location information of the first device when the first device records the measurement result information. Alternatively, in the case that the fourth information is used to indicate the first location information, the first location information can indirectly indicate the location of the first device when the first device records the measurement result, or a location related to the location of the first device when the first device records the measurement result (for example, a location close to the location of the first device when the first device records the measurement result). Exemplarily, the first location information can be the latest location information of the first device when the first device records the measurement result information.

[0090] In the case that the fourth information is used to indicate the first time information, the fourth information can include information explicitly indicating the first time information. Exemplarily, the first time information can include first timestamp indication information. The first timestamp indication information can assist in calculating the time when the measurement result information is recorded. For example, the time when the measurement result information is recorded can be determined by the first timestamp indication information and the first reference time information. That is, the first timestamp indication information can indicate a relative timestamp with the first reference time information as the reference, and the absolute time when the measurement result information is recorded can be determined by the first reference time information and the relative timestamp.

[0091] Exemplarily, the time indicated by the first reference time information can be T0, and the first timestamp indication information takes a value K. Wherein, K can be a positive number. If the first device records data every M ms, the absolute time when the fourth information is recorded can be determined by the formula (T0+K times M ms). Wherein, M can be a positive number. For example, if M satisfies M=20, the absolute time when the fourth information is recorded can be determined by the formula (T0+K times 20 ms).

[0092] Optionally, the first reference time can be indicated by the first information or the first information further includes the first reference time. In one implementation, the first reference time can be configured to the first device by the fourth configuration information, and the fourth configuration information can be sent to the first device by the network device or the second device. In another implementation, the first reference time is generated by the terminal device based on a local clock.

[0093] The fourth information including information explicitly indicating the first time information can explicitly indicate the absolute time when each fourth information is recorded, which is suitable for data collection and model training tasks sensitive to absolute time (for example, training different models for daytime and nighttime respectively).

[0094] Table 2 is an example of the third information. In Table 2, the fourth information in the third information can include the first time stamp indication information and / or the first location information. The third information in Table 2 can be the third information contained in Table 1. m in Table 2 can be a positive integer.

[0095] Table 2

[0096] In some embodiments, in the case where the fourth information is used to indicate the first time information, the fourth information can implicitly indicate the first time information. For example, the fourth information can not include information explicitly indicating the first time information. Illustratively, the first time information can be embodied by the time sequence relationship in which all the fourth information contained in the third information is recorded, which can be indicated by the order in which all the fourth information contained in the third information is recorded. That is, the first time information can be indicated by the order in which all the fourth information contained in the third information is recorded. This approach can be suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are not very sensitive to absolute time.

[0097] For example, a certain third information includes cell identification information and three fourth information, where the first appearing fourth information among the three fourth information is recorded earliest, the second appearing fourth information is recorded at a time after the first fourth information is recorded, and the third appearing fourth information is recorded at a time after the second fourth information is recorded, and the relative time relationship among the three fourth information is implicitly indicated by the order in which the fourth information is recorded.

[0098] The possible cases of the fourth information are described in detail below through different examples 1-4.

[0099] Example 1: Each of the one or more fourth information contains reference signal measurement result information and beam identification information corresponding to the reference signal measurement result information. The first time information can be indicated by the order in which all the fourth information contained in the third information is recorded. This example is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are not very sensitive to absolute time.

[0100] Example 2: Each of the one or more fourth information contains first time stamp indication information, reference signal measurement result information, and beam identification information corresponding to the reference signal measurement result information. This example is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are sensitive to absolute time (e.g., training different AI models for daytime and nighttime, respectively).

[0101] In Example 3, each of the one or more fourth information includes the first location information, the reference signal measurement result information, and beam identification information corresponding to the reference signal measurement result information. This example can explicitly indicate the geographic location where each of the fourth information is recorded, and is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are sensitive to geographic regions (e.g., training different AI models for different geographic regions, respectively).

[0102] In Example 4, each of the one or more fourth information includes the first timestamp indication information, the first location information, the reference signal measurement result information, and beam identification information corresponding to the reference signal measurement result information. This example can explicitly indicate the geographic location and time when each of the fourth information is recorded, and is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are sensitive to both geographic regions and absolute time (e.g., training different AI models for different geographic regions and different times, respectively).

[0103] In some embodiments, the third information can include one or more of the following: first beam pattern configuration information, first periodicity information, first configuration information.

[0104] The first beam pattern configuration information can be used to indicate the range of beams corresponding to the reference signals transmitted by the first cell. For example, the first beam pattern configuration information can be used to indicate which logical beams the second device will transmit the measurement reference signals on.

[0105] Optionally, the first beam pattern configuration information can be indicated by a first bitmap. The second bitmap can include one or more bits, and each bit of the one or more bits can correspond to one or a group of beams. When the value of a certain bit is a first specific value, the bit can indicate that the corresponding one or group of beams will transmit the reference signals by the first cell. The first specific value can be 1, for example. Illustratively, the first beam pattern configuration information can be the parameter ssb-PositionsInBurst as shown below.

[0106] Taking the example where the first device includes a terminal device and the second device includes a network device, in theory, the network device can transmit measurement reference signals on a total of 8 logical beams (the logical beam numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively). The network device can inform the terminal device of which logical beam or beams it actually transmits the measurement reference signals on through a parameter (e.g., the first bitmap), such as a parameter value of ‘01010101’. The terminal device can then learn that the network device transmits the measurement reference signals on logical beam 1, logical beam 3, logical beam 5, and logical beam 7.

[0107] The first periodicity information can be used to indicate the transmission period corresponding to the reference signals transmitted by the first cell.

[0108] The first configuration information can be used to indicate a transmission power configuration corresponding to a reference signal transmitted by the first cell.

[0109] In an implementation manner, the third information further includes first beam pattern configuration information, first periodicity information, or first configuration information used for reference signal transmission.

[0110] In another implementation manner, the third information further includes the first beam pattern configuration information and the first periodicity information; or, the third information further includes the first beam pattern configuration information and the first configuration information; or, the third information further includes the first periodicity information and the first configuration information.

[0111] In yet another implementation manner, the third information further includes the first beam pattern configuration information, the first periodicity information, and the first configuration information.

[0112] If the third information includes one or more of the following: the first beam pattern configuration information, the first periodicity information, and the first configuration information, the data collector can learn the relevant scene or configuration background of the collected data based on the third information, so as to facilitate data classification for different scenes or configurations, and then train a model that is more suitable for a specific scene or a specific configuration.

[0113] In some embodiments, the third information can include one or more of the following: data set distinguishing identification information corresponding to the data collected by the first device, the first indication information, and the second indication information.

[0114] The data set distinguishing identification information can be used to distinguish data collected in different implementation configurations and / or scenes. It can be understood that even for the same cell, the implementation configuration (for example: beam and port mapping rule, network device antenna angle, etc.) used at different time periods can be different, and in the case that the data set distinguishing identification information is included in the third information, the data collector can be facilitated to distinguish data collected in different implementation configurations, so as to facilitate data classification for different scenes or configurations, and then train a model that is more suitable for a specific scene or a specific configuration.

[0115] Optionally, the data set distinguishing identification information can be configured by the network device or the second device.

[0116] It should be noted that in the present application, in the case that the second device includes the network device, the data set distinguishing identification information can be configured or transmitted by the second device, or can be configured or transmitted by the network device other than the second device.

[0117] The dataset distinguishing identification information can be configured in a cell granularity or a cell group granularity. The cell group can include one or more cells, for example, the dataset distinguishing identification information can be configured respectively for multiple cells. For another example, the same dataset distinguishing identification information can be configured for multiple cells.

[0118] The first indication information is used for indicating the first measurement configuration. The first measurement configuration includes reference signal related resource configuration or reference signal associated beam identification. The first measurement configuration indicated by the first indication information included in the third information can be for the first cell.

[0119] It should be noted that in the present application, the resource configuration can include one or more of time domain configuration, frequency domain configuration and space domain configuration.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration can be related to the input of the model. The first measurement configuration can also be referred to as set B configuration, which is related to the input of the model to be trained, and the input of the model to be trained is related to the measurement data obtained through the first measurement configuration. For example, the first indication information is used for indicating the reference signal associated beam identification. Taking the beam measurement result space domain prediction function as an example, in order to train the model to realize the beam measurement result space domain prediction function, one or more fourth information suitable for the input of the model training can be selected from the collected third information according to the first measurement configuration.

[0121] For example: for cell 1, the collected third information records the identification information of cell 1, and also includes the measurement results of 6 beams deployed on the cell (the 6 beams correspond to beam identification 0, beam identification 1, beam identification 2, beam identification 3, beam identification 4 and beam identification 5 in turn), if the beam identification indicated by the first measurement configuration includes beam identification 0, beam identification 2 and beam identification 4, the model training party knows that the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 0, beam identification 2 and beam identification 4 recorded in the third information should be used as the input of the model training. The first measurement configuration information can effectively assist the data collection party to select appropriate data as the input of the model training.

[0122] The second indication information is used for indicating the second measurement configuration. The second measurement configuration includes reference signal related resource configuration or reference signal associated beam identification. The second measurement configuration indicated by the second indication information included in the third information can be for the first cell.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second measurement configuration can be related to the output of the model. The second measurement configuration can also be referred to as a set A configuration, which is related to the output of the model to be trained, and the output of the model to be trained is related to the measurement data obtained by the second measurement configuration. For example, the second indication information is used to indicate the beam identification associated with the reference signal. Taking the beam measurement result spatial domain prediction function as an example, in order to train a model to implement the beam measurement result spatial domain prediction function, one or more fourth information suitable for the output of the model training can be selected from the collected third information according to the second measurement configuration.

[0124] For example: for cell 1, the collected third information records the identification information of cell 1 (i.e., the first cell is cell 1), and also includes the measurement results of the 6 beams deployed on the cell (the 6 beams correspond to beam identification 0, beam identification 1, beam identification 2, beam identification 3, beam identification 4 and beam identification 5 in turn), if the beam identification indicated by the second measurement configuration includes beam identification 1, beam identification 3 and beam identification 5, the model training party knows that the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 1, beam identification 3 and beam identification 5 recorded in the third information should be used as the output of the model training. The second measurement configuration information can effectively assist the data collection party to select appropriate data as the output of the model training.

[0125] By selecting the expected model input (for example, the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 0, beam identification 2 and beam identification 4 described above) from the third information through the first indication information and selecting the expected model output (for example, the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 1, beam identification 3 and beam identification 5 described above) from the third information through the second indication information, the model training party can obtain the model implementing the beam measurement result spatial domain prediction function through the AI algorithm iteration process.

[0126] It can be understood that the mode 1 facilitates the data collection party to extract the recorded data of a specific cell at different times. Because the third information contains the data recorded by the first device for the same cell at different times, it brings convenience for the processing operation (for example, data extraction or data filtering or data deletion) of collecting data, that is, facilitates data post-processing.

For example, each of the one or more third information comprised in the second information can comprise one or more fifth information. The one or more cells can comprise a second cell.

[0179] The second time information can be used to indicate the first time. Alternatively, the second time information can be used to indicate the time when the third information is recorded.

[0180] If the third information is used to indicate the second time information, the time when one or more fifth information in the third information is recorded can be explicitly indicated, thereby being applicable to time-sensitive data collection and model training tasks (for example: different AI models are trained for data collected at different times respectively).

[0181] The second location information can be used to indicate the location of the first device when recording the data of the one or more cells at the first time. Alternatively, the second location information can be used to indicate the location of the first device when recording the third information.

[0182] If the third information is used to indicate the second location information, the geographical position where one or more fifth information in the third information is recorded can be explicitly indicated, thereby being applicable to geographical area-sensitive data collection and model training tasks (for example: different models are trained for different geographical areas respectively).

[0183] Optionally, in the case that the third information is used to indicate the second location information, the second location information can directly indicate the location information of the first device which is acquired in real time when the first device records the one or more fifth information. That is, in the case that the third information is used to indicate the second location information, the second location information can be the location information of the first device which is acquired in real time when the first device records the one or more fifth information. Alternatively, in the case that the third information is used to indicate the second location information, the second location information indirectly indicates the location of the first device when the first device records the measurement result, or a location related to the location of the first device when the first device records the measurement result (for example, a location close to the location of the first device when the first device records the measurement result). Exemplarily, the second location information can be the latest location information of the first device which is acquired when the first device records the one or more fifth information.

[0184] In the case that the third information is used to indicate the second time information, the third information can include information explicitly indicating the second time information. Exemplarily, the second time information can include second timestamp indication information. The second timestamp indication information can assist in calculating the time when the record data (for example, the measurement result information) is recorded. For example, the time when the measurement result information is recorded can be determined by the second timestamp indication information and the second reference time information. That is, the second timestamp indication information can indicate a relative timestamp with the second reference time information as the reference, and the absolute time when the measurement result information is recorded can be determined by the second reference time information and the relative timestamp.

[0185] Exemplarily, the time indicated by the second reference time information can be T1, and the second timestamp indication information takes a value J. Wherein, J can be a positive number. If the first device records data every N ms, the absolute time when the fourth information is recorded can be determined by the formula (T1+J times N ms). Wherein, N can be a positive number. For example, if N satisfies N=15, the absolute time when the fourth information is recorded can be determined by the formula (T1+J times 15 ms).

[0186] The third information including information explicitly indicating the second time information can explicitly indicate the time when each third information is recorded, which is suitable for data collection and model training tasks sensitive to absolute time (for example: training different models for daytime and night respectively).

[0187] Optionally, the second reference time can be indicated by the first information or the first information contains the second reference time. In one implementation, the second reference time can be indicated by the fifth configuration information. The fifth configuration information can be sent by the network device to the first device. The fifth configuration information can be the same as the first configuration information described above or the fourth configuration information described above or the second configuration information described below or the third configuration information described below, or can be different. In another implementation, the second reference time is generated by the terminal device based on a local clock.

[0188] It should be noted that the second reference time can be the same as the first reference time described above, or can be different.

[0189] Table 3 is an example of the third information. In Table 3, the third information can include second timestamp indication information and / or second location information. The third information in Table 2 can be the third information contained in Table 1. Q in Table 3 can be a positive integer.

[0190] Table 3

[0191] In some embodiments, in the case where the third information is used to indicate the second time information, the third information can implicitly indicate the second time information. For example, the third information can not include information explicitly indicating the second time information. Illustratively, the second time information can be embodied by a time sequence relationship in which all the third information contained by the second information is recorded, and the time sequence relationship can be indicated by an order in which all the third information contained by the second information is recorded. That is, the second time information can be indicated by the order in which all the third information contained by the second information is recorded. This approach can be suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are not very sensitive to absolute time.

[0192] For example, a certain second information can include frequency domain indication information and three third information, the first third information appearing in the three third information is recorded earliest, the second third information appearing in the three third information is recorded at a time after the first third information is recorded, and the third third information appearing in the three third information is recorded at a time after the second third information is recorded. The relative time relationship between the three third information is implicitly indicated by the order in which the third information is recorded.

[0193] The possible cases of the third information will be described in detail below through different examples 5-8.

[0194] Example 5, the second time information can be indicated by the order in which all the third information contained by the second information is recorded. This example is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are not very sensitive to absolute time.

[0195] Example 6, each of one or more third information contains second timestamp indication information and one or more fifth information. This example is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are sensitive to absolute time (for example, training different AI models for daytime and nighttime respectively).

[0196] In some embodiments, each of the one or more third information comprises the second location information and one or more fifth information. This example can explicitly indicate the geographic location where each of the third information is recorded, and is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are sensitive to geographic regions (e.g., training different AI models for different geographic regions, respectively).

[0197] In some embodiments, each of the one or more third information comprises the second timestamp indication information, the second location information and one or more fifth information. This example can explicitly indicate the geographic location and time when each of the third information is recorded, and is suitable for data collection and model training tasks that are sensitive to both geographic regions and absolute time (e.g., training different AI models for different geographic regions and different times, respectively).

[0198] In some embodiments, the fifth information corresponding to the second cell can comprise one or more of the following: second beam pattern configuration information, second periodicity information, second configuration information.

[0199] The second beam pattern configuration information can be used to indicate the beam range corresponding to the reference signal transmitted by the second cell. For example, the second beam pattern configuration information can be used to indicate which logical beams the second device will transmit the measurement reference signal on.

[0200] Optionally, the second beam pattern configuration information can be indicated by a second bitmap. The second bitmap can comprise one or more bits, and each of the one or more bits can correspond to one or a group of beams. When the value of a certain bit is a second specific value, the bit can indicate that the corresponding one or a group of beams will transmit the reference signal by the second cell. The second specific value can be 1, for example.

[0201] Taking the first device comprising a terminal device and the second device comprising a network device as an example, in theory, the network device can transmit measurement reference signals on a total of 8 logical beams (the logical numbers of the beams are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in sequence). The network device can inform the terminal device of which logical beam or beams it actually transmits the measurement reference signals on through a parameter (e.g., a second bitmap), such as a parameter value of ‘00110110’. The terminal device can learn that the network device transmits the measurement reference signals on logical beam 2, logical beam 3, logical beam 5, and logical beam 6.

[0202] The second periodicity information can be used to indicate the transmission period corresponding to the reference signal transmitted by the second cell.

[0203] The second configuration information can be used to indicate the transmission power configuration corresponding to the reference signal transmitted by the second cell.

[0204] If the fifth information includes one or more of the following: the second beam pattern configuration information, the second periodicity information, the second configuration information, the data collector can learn the scenario or configuration background of the collected data based on the fifth information, thereby facilitating data classification for different scenarios or configurations, and further training to obtain a model more suitable for a specific scenario or a specific configuration.

[0205] For each of the one or more fifth information included in the third information, the implementation manner of the fifth information can be one of the following implementation manners.

[0206] In an implementation manner, each of the one or more fifth information included in the third information can include beam pattern configuration information used for reference signal transmission, or transmission periodicity configuration information of the reference signal, or transmission power configuration information of the reference signal.

[0207] In another implementation manner, each of the fifth information further includes the second beam pattern configuration information and the second periodicity information; or each of the fifth information further includes the second beam pattern configuration information and the second configuration information; or each of the fifth information further includes the second periodicity information and the second configuration information.

[0208] In yet another implementation manner, each of the fifth information further includes the second beam pattern configuration information, the second periodicity information and the second configuration information.

[0209] In some embodiments, each of the second information further includes one or more eighth information, and the eighth information includes one or more of the following: the second beam pattern configuration information, the second periodicity information, the second configuration information.

[0210] In an implementation manner, the eighth information includes the second beam pattern configuration information, or the second periodicity information, or the second configuration information.

[0211] In another implementation manner, the eighth information includes the second beam pattern configuration information and the second periodicity information; or includes the second beam pattern configuration information and the second configuration information; or includes the second periodicity information and the second configuration information.

[0212] In yet another implementation manner, the eighth information includes the second beam pattern configuration information, the second periodicity information and the second configuration information.

[0213] Optionally, the eighth information is configured in a cell granularity or each of the eighth information is associated with a cell identifier information. For example, the eighth information can further include a cell identifier information, which is used to indicate which cell the other information (one or more of the following: the second beam pattern configuration information, the second periodicity information, the second configuration information) included in the eighth information is associated with.

[0214] Compared with placing one or more of the second beam pattern configuration information, the second period information, and the second configuration information in each fifth information, placing one or more of the second beam pattern configuration information, the second period information, and the second configuration information in the second information can save data reporting overhead. For example, each second information includes three third information (the three third information respectively includes data collected at time 1, time 2, and time 3), and each third information includes measurement results of two cells (cell A and cell B). If one or more of the second beam pattern configuration information, the second period information, and the second configuration information is placed in each fifth information, for the same cell, these information needs to be recorded 3 times in one second information (each time for the same cell). If one or more of the second beam pattern configuration information, the second period information, and the second configuration information is placed in the second information, these information needs to be recorded 1 time in one second information. Since the eighth information is configured according to the cell granularity, the cell identifier information recorded by each fifth information can easily associate the fifth information with one eighth information included in the second information.

[0215] Optionally, if the eighth information associated with the same cell at different times is different (for example, one or more of the second beam pattern configuration information, the second period information, and the second configuration information is different), the data collected at different times for the same cell can be recorded by different second information.

[0216] In some embodiments, the fifth information corresponding to the second cell further includes one or more of the following: data set distinguishing identifier information corresponding to the data collected by the first device for the second cell, first indication information, and second indication information.

[0217] The data set distinguishing identifier information can be used to distinguish data collected in different implementation configurations and / or scenarios. It can be understood that even for the same cell, the implementation configuration used at different time periods (for example, the mapping rule of beam and port, the antenna angle of the network device, etc.) can be different. In the case of including data set distinguishing identifier information in the fifth information, the data collection can be facilitated to distinguish data collected in different implementation configurations, so as to facilitate data classification for different scenarios or configurations, and then train a model more suitable for a specific scenario or a specific configuration.

[0218] The data set distinguishing identifier information can be configured by the network device or the second device.

[0219] The dataset distinguishing identification information can be configured in a cell granularity or a cell group granularity. The cell group can include one or more cells, for example, the dataset distinguishing identification information can be configured respectively for multiple cells. For another example, the same dataset distinguishing identification information can be configured for multiple cells.

[0220] The first indication information can be used to indicate the first measurement configuration. The first measurement configuration includes reference signal related resource configuration or includes reference signal associated beam identification. The first measurement configuration indicated by the first indication information included in the fifth information can be for the second cell.

[0221] For example, for cell 2, the collected fifth information records the identification information of cell 2 (i.e., the second cell is cell 2), and also includes the measurement results of 6 beams deployed on the cell (the 6 beams correspond to beam identification 0, beam identification 1, beam identification 2, beam identification 3, beam identification 4 and beam identification 5 in turn). If the beam identification indicated by the first measurement configuration includes beam identification 0, beam identification 2 and beam identification 4, the model training party knows that the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 0, beam identification 2 and beam identification 4 recorded in the third information should be used as the input of the model training. The first measurement configuration information can effectively assist the data collection party to screen out appropriate data as the input of the model training.

[0222] The second indication information can be used to indicate the second measurement configuration. The second measurement configuration includes reference signal related resource configuration or includes reference signal associated beam identification. The second measurement configuration indicated by the second indication information included in the fifth information can be for the second cell.

[0223] For example, for cell 2, the collected fifth information records the identification information of cell 2 (i.e., the second cell is cell 2), and also includes the measurement results of 6 beams deployed on the cell (the 6 beams correspond to beam identification 0, beam identification 1, beam identification 2, beam identification 3, beam identification 4 and beam identification 5 in turn). If the beam identification indicated by the second measurement configuration includes beam identification 1, beam identification 3 and beam identification 5, the model training party knows that the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 1, beam identification 3 and beam identification 5 recorded in the third information should be used as the output of the model training. The second measurement configuration information can effectively assist the data collection party to screen out appropriate data as the output of the model training. By screening the desired model input (for example, the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 0, beam identification 2 and beam identification 4 described above) from the fifth information through the first indication information and screening the desired model output (for example, the measurement results corresponding to beam identification 1, beam identification 3 and beam identification 5 described above) from the fifth information through the second indication information, the model training party can obtain the model realizing the beam measurement result space domain prediction function through the AI algorithm iteration process.

[0224] In some embodiments, each second information further comprises one or more ninth information, which includes data set differentiation identification information corresponding to the data collected by the first device for the second cell.

[0225] Optionally, the ninth information is configured in a cell granularity or each ninth information is associated with a cell identification information. For example, the ninth information can further include a cell identification information, which indicates which cell the data set differentiation identification information included in the ninth information is associated with.

[0226] Compared with placing the data set differentiation identification information in each fifth information, placing the data set differentiation identification information in the second information can save more data reporting overhead.

[0227] Optionally, if the data set differentiation identification information associated with the same cell at different time instants is different, the data collected by the first device at different time instants for the same cell and the data set differentiation identification information corresponding to the time instants can be recorded through different second information.

[0228] It can be understood that if the first device can simultaneously measure beam measurement results of multiple cells (for example, the ICBM scenario described above), mode 2 can facilitate the first device to record data, because the data (for example, measurement results) of multiple cells obtained at the same time can be recorded in the same third information, which makes the first device operate more simply when recording data.

[0273] In some embodiments, the first information can further include other information. For example, the first information further includes one or more of the following information: trace collocation entity identifier (TCE ID) information, trace recording session reference indication information, trace ID information, public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID) information, and data collection task ID information.

[0274] It should be noted that the data collection task can include a training task performed based on the collected data. For example, the data collection task can include: a data collection task for CSI channel feedback model training, a data collection task for beam management model training, a data collection task for positioning model training, and the like.

[0275] In some embodiments, the first device can receive third configuration information sent by the second device or the network device, and the third configuration information can include one or more of the following: TCE ID information, trace recording session reference indication information, trace ID information, PLMN ID information, and data collection task ID information.

[0276] It should be noted that at least two of the first configuration information, the second configuration information, the third configuration information, the fourth configuration information, and the fifth configuration information mentioned in the present application can be carried in the same message. For example, at least two of the first configuration information, the second configuration information, the third configuration information, the fourth configuration information, and the fifth configuration information can be carried by different messages.

[0277] In an implementation, the first information can further include TCE ID information, trace recording session reference indication information, trace ID information, and PLMN ID information. Correspondingly, the third configuration information can include TCE ID information, trace recording session reference indication information, trace ID information, and PLMN ID information.

[0278] In another implementation, the first information further comprises data collection task ID information. Correspondingly, the third configuration information comprises data collection task ID information.

Correspondingly, the third configuration information comprises TCE ID information, trace recording session reference indication information, trace identification information, PLMN ID information, and data collection task ID information.

[0280] In some embodiments, the first information can comprise completion indication information. The completion indication information can be used to indicate whether the data collected by the first device is completely transmitted.

[0281] In some cases, one piece of first information sent by the first device can not be able to completely transmit all the recording data. Based on the present application, the first device can inform the second device whether there is data to be reported subsequently through the completion indication information. The second device can determine whether the second device continues to report the next piece of first information according to the completion indication information.

[0282] In some embodiments, the resource used for transmitting the first information can comprise control plane resource and / or user plane resource. For example, the control plane resource can comprise control message (such as radio resource control (RRC) message or non access stratum (NAS) message) carried by SRB. For another example, the user plane resource can comprise data radio bearer (DRB) data channel.

[0283] In some embodiments, the first device can receive sixth information sent by the second device. The sixth information can be used to indicate that the second device agrees to one or more data collection report types (report types for short) reported by the first device. Alternatively, the sixth information can indicate that the second device does not agree to one or more report types reported by the first device.

[0284] Optionally, the first device can determine, according to the indication of the sixth information, whether the second device agrees to or does not agree to one or more report types reported by the first device. The first device can report data collection reports belonging to the report types agreed to be reported by the second device, and does not report data collection reports belonging to the report types not agreed to be reported by the second device.

[0285] In some embodiments, the sixth information can comprise one or more first identifiers. The first identifiers can be used to indicate a kind of the second device's agreement / disagreement with the report type of the data collection reported by the first device. For example, each of the one or more first identifiers in the sixth information can be used to indicate a kind of the second device's agreement with the report type of the data collection reported by the first device.

[0286] In an implementation, the first identifiers can comprise data collection task IDs. For example, each of the one or more first identifiers can comprise a data collection task ID.

[0287] It should be noted that the data collection task IDs can be provided to the first device by the network device or the second device when the data collection task is configured for the first device.

[0288] It should be noted that the association between the data collection task IDs and the report types can be determined when the first device receives the data collection task configuration.

[0289] For example, the network device or the second device configures three data collection tasks for the first device. The three data collection tasks can be, in sequence, a data collection task for CSI channel feedback model training (corresponding to a data collection task ID 1), a data collection task for beam management model training (corresponding to a data collection task ID 2), and a data collection task for positioning model training (corresponding to a data collection task ID 3). If the second device only wants the first device to report data for beam management model training first, ID 2 can be included in the sixth information. Based on the sixth information, the first device can know that the second device wants to report data for beam management model training first.

[0290] In another implementation, the first identifiers can comprise report type identifiers. For example, each of the one or more first identifiers can comprise a report type identifier.

[0291] It should be noted that the correspondence between the report type identifiers and the report types is determined in a protocol predefined manner or dynamically informed to the first device when the data collection task is configured for the first device. The protocol predefined manner can mean that the correspondence between the report type identifiers and the report types is directly agreed in the protocol. For example, one or more of the following is agreed in the protocol: identifier '0000' is for a data collection task report for CSI channel feedback model training, identifier '0001' is for a data collection task report for beam management model training, identifier '0010' is for a data collection task report for positioning model training, and the like. Dynamically informing the first device means informing the first device of the report type identifier corresponding to the data collection task when the data collection task is configured for the first device.

[0292] The first identifier is used to represent the implementation of a data collection task report, and the extensibility is good. If a new data collection task report is introduced in the future, a new first identifier value can be assigned to the new data collection task report, and a new parameter will not be introduced.

[0293] In some embodiments, the sixth information can include first bit string information. The first bit string information can be used to indicate one or more bits. In this case, one bit in the first bit string information is associated with one data collection report type. For example, each bit in the first bit string information is associated with one data collection report type. Any bit in the first bit string information can be used to indicate whether the second device agrees that the first device reports the data collection report associated with the bit.

[0294] In a possible implementation, if the value of a first bit in the first bit string information is a first value, the first bit can be used to indicate that the second device agrees that the first device reports the data collection report associated with the first bit. The first bit can be any bit in the first bit string information. The first value can be 1 or 0, for example.

[0295] The association between one bit in the first bit string information and one report type can be determined in a protocol predefined manner. For example, the first bit string information can include W bits. W can be 128, for example. For example, the first bit in the W bits can be used for a data collection task report for CSI channel feedback model training, the second bit can be used for a data collection task report for beam management model training, the third bit can be used for a data collection task report for positioning model training, and so on.

[0296] When the second device expects more report types from the first device, the first bit string indication of the sixth information can reduce the communication overhead to a certain extent.

[0297] In some embodiments, the first device can receive third indication information sent by the second device. The third indication information is associated with one data collection report type, and the value of the third indication information is used to indicate whether the second device agrees that the first device reports the data collection report associated with the third indication information.

[0298] For example, when the value of the third indication information is a third value (for example, the value is ‘1’), it indicates that the second device agrees that the first device reports the data collection report associated with the third indication information. When the value of the third indication information is a fourth value (for example, the value is ‘0’), it indicates that the second device does not agree that the first device reports the data collection report associated with the third indication information.

[0299] As an implementation manner, the first device can receive the sixth information sent by the second device. As another implementation manner, the first device can receive the third indication information sent by the second device. As another implementation manner, the first device can receive the sixth information and the third indication information sent by the second device.

[0300] In some embodiments, the first device can send the seventh information to the second device; or the first device sends the fourth indication information to the second device; or the first device sends the fifth indication information to the second device; or the first device sends the fourth indication information and the fifth indication information to the second device.

[0301] The seventh information is used to indicate one or more data collection report types that the first device is ready to report.

[0302] In some embodiments, the seventh information can include one or more second identifiers. The second identifier can be used to indicate one data collection report type that the first device is ready to report. For example, each of the one or more second identifiers in the seventh information can be used to indicate one data collection report type that the first device is ready to report.

[0303] In an implementation manner, the second identifier can include a data collection task ID. For example, each of the one or more second identifiers can include a data collection task ID. The data collection task ID is described in detail above, and will not be described here.

[0304] For example, the network device or the second device configures the first device with three data collection tasks. The three data collection tasks can be, in sequence, a data collection task for CSI channel feedback model training (corresponding to assigning a data collection task ID 1), a data collection task for beam management model training (corresponding to assigning a data collection task ID 2), and a data collection task for positioning model training (corresponding to assigning a data collection task ID 3). If the first device is ready to report data for beam management model training, ID 2 can be included in the seventh information.

[0305] In another implementation manner, the second identifier can include a report type identifier. For example, each of the one or more second identifiers can include a report type identifier. The report type identifier is described in detail above, and will not be described here.

[0306] It should be noted that the one or more first identifiers included in the sixth information can be a subset of the one or more second identifiers included in the seventh information. In other words, the first device can inform the second device through the seventh information that it expects to report one or more types of data reports, and the second device informs the first device through the sixth information which data reports can actually be reported.

[0307] The second identifier is used to represent a data collection task report that is ready to be reported. The second identifier has good scalability. If a new data collection task report is introduced in the future, a new second identifier value can be assigned to the new report, and a new parameter is not introduced.

[0308] In some embodiments, the seventh information can include second bit string information. The second bit string information can be used to indicate one or more bits. In some embodiments, each bit in the second bit string information is associated with a data collection report type. For example, each bit in the second bit string information is associated with a data collection report type. Any bit in the second bit string information can be used to indicate whether the first device is ready to report the data collection report associated with the bit.

[0309] In a possible implementation, if a second bit in the second bit string information has a second value, the second bit can be used to indicate that the first device is ready to report the data collection report associated with the second bit. The second bit is any bit in the second bit string information. The second value can be 1 or 0, for example.

[0310] The association between a bit in the second bit string information and a report type can be determined in a pre-defined manner by a protocol. For example, the second bit string information can include P bits. P can be 128, for example. In an example, the first bit in the P bits can be used for a data collection task report for CSI channel feedback model training, the second bit can be used for a data collection task report for beam management model training, the third bit can be used for a data collection task report for positioning model training, and so on.

[0311] When the first device is ready to report a large number of report types, the second bit string in the seventh information can reduce the communication overhead to some extent.

[0312] The fourth indication information is associated with a data collection report type, and the value of the fourth indication information is used to indicate whether the first device has unreported data ready to be reported to the second device. For example, when the value of the fourth indication information is a fifth value (e.g., the value is ‘1’), it indicates that the first device has unreported data ready to be reported to the second device. When the value of the fourth indication information is a sixth value (e.g., the value is ‘0’), it indicates that the first device does not have unreported data ready to be reported to the second device.

[0313] The fifth indication information is used to indicate a first time length or a first time length interval. The first time length represents how much time has passed from a time when the first device receives the data collection configuration information to a second time; or, the first time length represents how much time has passed from a time when the first device receives the data collection configuration information release instruction to the second time; or, the first time length represents how much time has passed from a time when the first device deletes the data collection configuration information to the second time; or, the first time length represents how much time has passed from a time when the first device records a latest one of the data samples to the second time; or, the first time length represents how much time has passed from a time when the first device records an oldest one of the data samples to the second time; or, the first time length represents how much time is left from the second time for the first device to automatically delete the latest one of the data samples recorded by the first device; or, the first time length represents how much time is left from the second time for the first device to automatically delete the oldest one of the data samples recorded by the first device; or, the first time length represents how much time is left from the second time for the first device to automatically delete all the unreported data samples. The first time length interval is used to indicate which time length interval the first time length belongs to. The second time can be one of the following: a current time (i.e. now), a time when the first information is successfully sent, a time when the sending of the first information is triggered, or any time between the time when the sending of the first information is triggered and the time when the first information is successfully sent.

[0314] It should be noted that the latest one of the data samples in the present application can refer to the last one of the data samples recorded and stored by the first device among all the data samples stored by the terminal device and not reported. The oldest one of the data samples in the present application can refer to the first one of the data samples recorded and stored by the first device among all the data samples stored by the terminal device and not reported.

[0315] In some embodiments, in order to assist the second device to know the urgency of the data reported by the first device, the first device can send the fifth indication information to the second device. Since the fifth indication information is mainly used to assist the second device to know the urgency of the data reported by the first device, in some implementations, the fifth indication information is used to indicate the first time length interval, i.e. to indicate which time length interval the first time length belongs to. Compared with reporting specific time length information, reporting the first time length interval information can reduce the overhead.

[0316] In some embodiments, the first device receives data collection configuration information. The data collection configuration information can be sent by the second device. It should be noted that the sender of the data collection configuration information and the receiver of the first information can be the same or different. For example, the second device can include multiple devices, one of the multiple devices receives the first information, and another of the multiple devices sends the data collection configuration information.

[0317] The data collection configuration information can include one or more of the following: data set differentiation identification information, sixth indication information, seventh indication information, eighth indication information.

[0318] The sixth indication information is used to indicate a third measurement configuration, the third measurement configuration including a reference signal related resource configuration or including a reference signal associated beam identification. The third measurement configuration can be related to an input of the model. The third measurement configuration can also be referred to as a set B configuration, the set B configuration being related to an input of the model to be trained, the input of the model to be trained being related to measurement data obtained through the third measurement configuration.

[0319] The first indication information can be determined based on the sixth indication information. For example, the first device can determine that the first indication information is the same as the sixth indication information.

[0320] The seventh indication information is used to indicate a fourth measurement configuration, the fourth measurement configuration including a reference signal related resource configuration or including a reference signal associated beam identification. The fourth measurement configuration can be related to an output of the model. The fourth measurement configuration can also be referred to as a set A configuration, the set A configuration being related to an output of the model to be trained, the output of the model to be trained being related to measurement data obtained through the fourth measurement configuration.

[0321] The second indication information can be determined based on the seventh indication information. For example, the first device can determine that the second indication information is the same as the seventh indication information.

[0322] The eighth indication information is used to indicate data content contained in the data collected by the first device, wherein the data content is a first measurement quantity or a beam identifier, or the first measurement quantity and the beam identifier. The first measurement quantity can include a measurement quantity of a reference signal. If the data content is the first measurement quantity, it indicates that the eighth indication information indicates that the data collected by the first device contains the measurement quantity of the reference signal (without the beam identifier scenario), that is, the first information reported by the first device needs to contain the measurement quantity of the reference signal; if the data content is the beam identifier, it indicates that the eighth indication information indicates that the data collected by the first device contains the beam identifier (without the first measurement quantity scenario), that is, the first information reported by the first device needs to contain the beam identifier; if the data content is the first measurement quantity and the beam identifier, it indicates that the eighth indication information indicates that the data collected by the first device contains the measurement quantity of the reference signal and the beam identifier (both the first measurement quantity and the beam identifier scenario), that is, the first information reported by the first device needs to contain the measurement quantity of the reference signal and the beam identifier.

[0323] The first measurement quantity may, for example, include one or more of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, TOA, TDOA.

[0324] In an implementation manner, the data collection configuration information includes the data set distinguishing identification information or the sixth indication information or the seventh indication information. In another implementation manner, the data collection configuration information includes the data set distinguishing identification information and the sixth indication information.

[0326] In some embodiments, the first device deletes the latest one of the recorded data samples or deletes the oldest one of the recorded data samples or deletes all the unreported data samples by itself after a second time duration from the third time.

[0327] It should be noted that the second time duration can be obtained by a protocol predefined manner or obtained from the second device by a dedicated signaling. This manner can avoid the terminal device storing the unreported collected data for a long time, thereby efficiently utilizing the memory of the first device.

[0328] In some embodiments, the third time is: a time when the first device receives the data collection configuration information; or a time when the second device instructs the first device to delete the data collection configuration information; or a time when the first device deletes the data collection configuration information by itself; or a time when the first device stops recording the sampling data; or a time when the first device lastly reports the sampling data; or a time when the oldest one of all the unreported data samples stored by the first device is recorded; or a time when the latest one of all the unreported data samples stored by the first device is recorded.

[0329] It should be noted that, as described above, the first information can indicate information associated with the data collected by the first device. The present application does not limit the content of the information associated with the data collected by the first device. For example, the information associated with the data collected by the first device can include one or more of the following: frequency domain indication information, identification information of a cell, beam identification information, first time information, first location information, second time information, second location information, first beam pattern configuration information, first period information, first configuration information, second beam pattern configuration information, second period information, second configuration information, data set distinguishing identification information, and measurement results, etc. The description of these information is detailed above, and will not be described here.
