Abstract
Description
Information transceiving method, apparatus, and communication system TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology. BACKGROUND
[0002] Multiple scenarios or sub-scenarios are defined in 3GPP artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) study, such as normal handover, conditional handover, L1 / L2 triggered mobility (LTM) or other scenarios. Different scenarios or sub-scenarios can correspond to one or more features / feature groups. Applying AI / ML to the above feature / feature group is called AI / ML-based / enabled feature / feature group. One AI / ML-based / enabled feature / feature group can correspond to one or more AI functionalities and / or one or more AI models. One AI functionality can correspond to one or more AI models. The function refers to the AI / ML-based / enabled feature / feature group that is configured to be enabled. The possible logic is shown in FIG. 1.
[0003] The AI model can be deployed on the terminal device. For example, the one-sided model deployed on the terminal device can be called the UE-side model. One side sub-model of the two-sided model or the multi-sided model can be deployed on the terminal device, which can be called the UE-part of two-sided models.
[0004] The AI model can be deployed on the network device. For example, the one-sided model deployed on the network device can be called the NW-side model. One side sub-model of the two-sided model or the multi-sided model can be deployed on the network device, which can be called the NW-part of two-sided models.
[0005] When the model is deployed or the model corresponding to the function is deployed, the configuration between the model and the terminal device needs to be considered. Taking the model deployed on the terminal device as an example, the terminal device uses the AI model to perform the inference function related to mobility, and sends the related inference result to the network device for assisting the network device in mobility management. Therefore, the present application mainly considers the mechanism that the terminal device sends the prediction information obtained based on the AI model inference to the network device, so that the network device can perform corresponding mobility management.
[0006] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of clearly and completely describing the technical scheme of the present application and for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art. The above technical scheme cannot be considered as known to those skilled in the art just because it is described in the background section of the present application.

[0045] Embodiments of the first aspect
[0046] The embodiments of the present application provide an information transceiving method, which is described from the side of the terminal device. In the embodiments of the present application, the AI model is deployed on the terminal device side, and the terminal device performs AI prediction on the measurement result.
[0047] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an information transceiving method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the method comprises:
[0048] 201, the terminal device receives the prediction configuration information sent by the network device, the prediction configuration information comprising configuration information for instructing the terminal device to perform AI prediction, and / or reporting configuration information for instructing AI prediction related information;
[0049] 202, the terminal device performs AI prediction according to the prediction configuration information, determines the prediction value information, and / or the prediction information; and / or,
[0050] 203, the terminal device sends the reporting information to the network device according to the prediction configuration information, the reporting information comprising the prediction value information of the cell and / or beam, and / or the prediction information related to the target cell of the handover.
[0051] It is worth noting that the above FIG. 2 only schematically illustrates the embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited thereto. For example, some other operations can be added or some operations therein can be reduced. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate modifications according to the above description, and the modifications are not limited to the description of the above FIG. 2.
[0052] According to the embodiments of the present application, the AI model on the terminal device side can make a prediction based on the prediction configuration information of the network device, and report the prediction result to the network device to provide corresponding inference output information for the network device; so that the network device optimizes mobility management based on the prediction result, and improves the mobility robustness of the terminal device.
[0053] In some embodiments, the network device can send prediction configuration information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device performs measurement, determines a prediction result (including prediction value information and / or prediction information) based on the measurement result by performing AI prediction. Further, the terminal device can also perform reporting of the prediction result and the like. The prediction configuration information includes configuration information for instructing the terminal device to perform AI prediction, and / or reporting configuration information for instructing AI prediction related information. The prediction configuration information can include at least one of measurement configuration information, mode configuration information, reporting configuration information and measurement identification information. The measurement configuration information is used to instruct the measurement information of the terminal device; the mode configuration information is used to instruct the mode information of the terminal device performing AI prediction; the reporting configuration information is used to instruct the information to be reported by the terminal device; and the measurement identification information is used to associate at least one measurement configuration information, at least one mode configuration information and / or at least one reporting configuration information. The following are described respectively.
[0054] It can be understood that the above-mentioned configuration information for instructing the terminal device to perform AI prediction and the above-mentioned reporting configuration information for instructing AI prediction related information can be carried in the same signaling or in different signaling. If the above-mentioned information is carried in different signaling, the step 201 can be divided into different steps.
[0055] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following information: measurement object information, first indication information, reference signal configuration information of the measurement object or other measurement configuration information. The measurement object information can include frequency point information. Optionally, the measurement object information can also include cell information and / or beam information. The first indication information is used to instruct whether the terminal device needs to perform AI prediction on the measurement object. Correspondingly, the first indication information can be in frequency point granularity, cell granularity or beam granularity. It can be understood that if the prediction configuration information includes measurement identification information, the first indication information can also be in measurement identification granularity.
[0056] In some embodiments, for the above-mentioned reference signal (measurement resource) configuration information, the reference signal can be a CSI-RS and / or an SSB, and the like. The reference signal configuration information is used to indicate at least one resource set information (reference signal set information). Further, the above-mentioned resource set information can be used to indicate one or more measurement resources (reference signals). As an example, the reference signal configuration information can include at least one reference signal set identifier (measurement resource set identifier) information and the identifier information of one or more measurement resources (reference signals) constituting the reference signal set (measurement resource set). For example, taking the reference signal as a CSI-RS as an example, the reference signal configuration information can include a CSI-ResourceConfigId and at least one CSI-RS-ResourceSetId, wherein the CSI-RS-ResourceSetId can include at least one of the following information: at least one NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSetId, at least one CSI-SSB-ResourceSetId, at least one CSI-IM-ResourceSetId, and further can include at least one NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId, at least one CSI-SSB-ResourceId, at least one CSI-IM-ResourceId. However, this is only an example for illustration, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0057] In the above embodiments, the measurement result (predicted value) based on AI prediction and the measurement result (measured value) obtained by performing actual measurement can be at least one corresponding measurement result of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) or a synchronization signaling block (SSB) or other reference information. The possible measurement result information (predicted value information and measured value information) includes quality information, and the quality information (predicted value and measured value) includes at least one of the following information: reference signal receiving power (RSRP), reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ), reference signal strength indicator (RSSI), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), or other signal quality information. The measurement result can be a layer 1 (L1) measurement result and / or a layer 3 (L3) measurement result.
[0058] In some embodiments, the mode configuration information includes at least one of the following information: time information of performing AI prediction, time configuration information / number configuration information of performing AI prediction and measurement, trigger configuration information of falling back to measurement when performing AI prediction, correlation information of performing AI prediction, or other mode configuration information. The above correlation information is used to indicate the correlation between at least one measurement object (first measurement object) that needs to perform measurement and at least one measurement object (second measurement object) that performs AI prediction based on the at least one measurement object that needs to perform measurement.
[0059] For example, the time information of performing AI prediction includes absolute time information, or absolute start time information and relative time information of relative start time information. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0060] For example, the time configuration information / number configuration information of performing AI prediction and measurement can include cycle information of AI prediction and prediction time information / number information within the cycle, and / or cycle information of measurement and measurement time information / number information within the cycle. The above time information can include absolute time information, or absolute start time information and relative time information of relative start time information. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0061] For example, the trigger configuration information for falling back to measurement when performing AI prediction can be first accuracy threshold information of the predicted value. When the terminal device determines that the accuracy of the predicted value does not meet the first accuracy threshold, the terminal device falls back to actual measurement and obtains the measurement value. Optionally, the first accuracy threshold information can be an absolute threshold or a relative threshold, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0062] For example, the correlation information can be {frequency point 1, frequency point 2}, which is used to instruct the terminal device to measure the cell on the frequency point 1, and based on the measurement value, the measurement result (predicted value) of the cell on the frequency point 2 can be predicted. For another example, the correlation information can be {(frequency point 1, cell 1, cell 2), (frequency point 2, cell 3)}, which is used to instruct the terminal device to measure cell 1 and cell 2 on the frequency point 1 and obtain the corresponding measurement value, and based on the corresponding measurement value, the measurement result of cell 3 on the frequency point 2 can be predicted.
[0063] It should be noted that the AI prediction in the embodiments of the present application includes at least one of time domain prediction, frequency domain prediction, or space domain prediction. For example, the terminal device can predict the predicted value of a measurement object at at least one second time in the future based on the measurement value of the measurement object at at least one first time in the past; for example, the terminal device can predict the predicted value of a cell on a second frequency point (an example of a second measurement object) based on the measurement value of a cell on a first frequency point (an example of a first measurement object); for example, the terminal device can predict the predicted value of other beams (second measurement object) of a cell based on the measurement result of at least one beam (first measurement object) of the measured cell. The mechanism corresponding to the AI prediction in the embodiments of the present application is not limited. It can be understood that in the frequency domain prediction and the space domain prediction, the mode configuration information can further include the correlation information for performing AI prediction, so as to determine the first measurement object and the second measurement object. The description of the correlation information is referred to the above, and will not be repeated here.
[0064] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration information can indicate the information required to be reported by the terminal device, or indicate the information required to be reported by the terminal device and the timing (time) information of the reporting. The reporting configuration information includes at least one of the following information: first configuration information, second indication information, handover type information, trigger condition configuration, third indication information, or other reporting configuration information. Among them, the first configuration information is used to indicate the predicted value information required to be reported; the second indication information is used to indicate whether the predicted information needs to be reported; the handover type information is used to indicate the handover type related to the predicted information; the trigger condition configuration is used to indicate the configuration for triggering the terminal device to report the predicted value and / or the measurement value; and the third indication information is used to indicate the time range information of the predicted value information and / or the predicted information required to be reported by the terminal device.
[0065] The prediction value information can include at least one of predicted cell information, predicted measurement result information of the cell, predicted beam information under the cell, and predicted measurement result information of the beam. The cell information includes at least one of cell global identifier (CGI), physical cell identifier (PCI) and frequency point information, cell identifier (cell ID), non-public network identifier (NPN ID), non-terrestrial network identifier (NTN ID), or other cell identifiers. The CGI can include a public land mobile network (PLMN ID) and a cell ID. Optionally, the cell information can further include tracking area code (TAC) and / or identifier information of a network device to which the cell belongs, such as a global network device identifier. The beam information can be beam identifier information, beam index information, or other information that can identify a beam. The measurement result information is described above and will not be repeated here.
[0066] The prediction information can include at least one of predicted and / or recommended handover target cell information, predicted and / or recommended handover target cell handover configuration information, predicted and / or recommended handover target cell prediction value and time correspondence, predicted and / or recommended handover target cell handover time information, predicted and / or recommended handover target cell residence information, or other prediction information. The predicted handover target cell can be at least one potential handover target predicted by the terminal, and the recommended handover target cell can be a handover target cell for which the terminal device predicts to perform handover. As an example, the recommended handover target cell can be at least one predicted handover target cell. For example, the predicted handover target cell is cell 1, cell2 and cell3, and the recommended handover target cell of the terminal device is cell1.
[0067] The handover type can include at least one of: normal handover, conditional handover (CHO), dual active protocol stack handover (DAPS), layer 1 / 2 triggered mobility (LTM), or other handover types.
[0068] In some embodiments, according to the first configuration information, the terminal device can determine the predicted value information that needs to be reported; and according to the second indication information, the terminal device can determine the prediction information in the reported information. It can be understood that, according to the first configuration information and / or the second indication information, the terminal device can also determine whether the predicted value information and / or the prediction information needs to be reported.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following information:
[0070] The number information (e.g., the maximum number information) of the predicted cells that needs to be reported;
[0071] The fourth indication information is used to indicate whether to report the predicted beam information under the cell. For example, the fourth indication information can be 1-bit indication information, when the bit value is 1 (or the bit value exists), it indicates that the predicted beam information under the cell needs to be reported; when the bit value is 0 (or the bit value does not exist), it indicates that the predicted beam information under the cell does not need to be reported, and vice versa, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present application;
[0072] The number information (e.g., the maximum number information) of the predicted beams that can be reported;
[0073] The quality threshold information of the predicted beams that can be reported.
[0074] The terminal device can determine whether (how) to report the predicted value information according to the first configuration information.
[0075] In some embodiments, the second indication information can be replaced by at least one of the following indication information: indication information of whether to report predicted handover target cell information, indication information of whether to report handover configuration information of the predicted handover target cell, indication information of whether to report suggested handover target cell information, indication information of whether to report handover configuration information of the suggested handover target cell, indication information of whether to report residence information of the predicted handover target cell, indication information of whether to report residence information of the suggested handover target cell, indication information of whether to report handover time information of the predicted handover target cell, indication information of whether to report handover time information of the suggested handover target cell, indication information of whether to report the correspondence between the predicted value and time of the predicted handover target cell, and indication information of whether to report the correspondence between the predicted value and time of the suggested handover target cell. The possible handover configuration information can include random access type, beam information of random access, time domain and / or frequency domain resource information of random access, time advance information of random access, or other handover configuration information.
[0076] It can be understood that, as an implementation manner a, the at least one indication information can be an independent information element respectively; as another possible implementation manner b, the at least one indication information can be an information element (bitmap). In implementation manner b-1, the information element can include one bit. At this time, the implementation manner b-1 can refer to the implementation manner a. If the information element includes at least two bits, different bits in the bitmap can respectively implement the function of one indication information. In implementation manner b-2, different values of the bitmap can implement the combined function of different at least one indication information. It can be understood that, the implementation manner b can also be considered as an implementation manner of the second indication information.
[0077] As an example of the above-mentioned implementation manner a, the above-mentioned one kind of indication information can be used to indicate whether one kind of prediction information needs to be reported. At least one kind of indication information can be sent to respectively indicate whether different prediction information needs to be reported. If each kind of indication information is 1-bit indication information, when the bit value is 1 (or the bit value exists), it indicates that the corresponding prediction information needs to be reported; when the bit value is 0 (or the bit value does not exist), it indicates that the corresponding prediction information does not need to be reported, and vice versa, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present application. For example, the reporting configuration information can include three above-mentioned indication information, which can be indication information indicating that the predicted handover target cell information needs to be reported, indication information indicating that the predicted handover configuration information of the handover target cell needs to be reported, and indication information indicating that the recommended handover target cell information needs to be reported. The terminal device determines that the predicted handover target cell information, the predicted handover configuration information of the handover target cell and the recommended handover target cell information need to be reported according to the above-mentioned three indication information, and other prediction information does not need to be reported.
[0078] As another example of the above-mentioned implementation manner b, in the bit map of the implementation manner b-1, when the bit value of the corresponding bit is 1, it indicates that the corresponding prediction information needs to be reported; when the bit value of the corresponding bit is 0, it indicates that the corresponding prediction information does not need to be reported, and vice versa. For example, the reporting configuration information includes second indication information, and the second indication information is a 5-bit bit map. Each bit of the bit map from left to right respectively indicates that the predicted handover target cell information needs to be reported, the predicted handover configuration information of the handover target cell needs to be reported, the corresponding relationship between the predicted value and the time of the predicted handover target cell does not need to be reported, the handover time information of the predicted handover target cell does not need to be reported, and the camping information of the predicted handover target cell does not need to be reported. For example, the value of the bit map is 11000. The terminal device determines that the predicted handover target cell information and the predicted handover configuration information of the handover target cell need to be reported according to the second indication information, and the corresponding relationship between the predicted value and the time of the predicted handover target cell, the handover time information of the predicted handover target cell and the camping information of the predicted handover target cell do not need to be reported. Alternatively, in the implementation manner b-2, different values of the bit map can indicate whether different combinations of prediction information need to be reported. For example, the value 00000 indicates that the terminal device does not need to report the above-mentioned information; the value 00001 indicates that the terminal device needs to report the predicted handover target cell information; the value 00010 indicates that the terminal device needs to report the predicted handover target cell information and the predicted handover configuration information of the handover target cell; the value 00011 indicates that the terminal device needs to report the predicted handover target cell information, the predicted handover configuration information of the handover target cell and the corresponding relationship between the predicted value and the time of the predicted handover target cell; and so on, which is not described here.
[0079] In some embodiments, the triggering condition is configured for the terminal device to determine a timing of reporting the predicted value information and / or the measurement value information and / or the prediction information.
[0080] As an implementation, the triggering condition comprises reporting period information, and the terminal device can periodically report the information according to the reporting period information. The reporting period information can comprise at least one of the following period information: predicted value information reporting period information, prediction information reporting period information, and measurement value information reporting period information. The periods can be the same or different. If the same, the reporting period information can only contain the same reporting period information, so as to reduce unnecessary signaling overhead. For example, if the predicted value information reporting period and the prediction information reporting period are the same, the reporting period information can only include one reporting period information, and the terminal device determines that the reporting period information can be applied to the predicted value information reporting and the prediction information reporting. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
[0081] As another implementation, the triggering condition comprises second accuracy threshold information of event-triggered reporting. The second accuracy threshold information can be an absolute threshold or a relative threshold. The terminal device can determine whether to report the predicted value information or the predicted value information and the measurement value information according to the accuracy threshold information. For example, when the terminal device determines that the accuracy of the predicted value does not meet the second accuracy threshold information, the terminal device also needs to report the measurement value information corresponding to the predicted value information. For example, the terminal device predicts the predicted value at T1 time at T0 time, and reports the predicted value information at T1 time to the network device; when the terminal device obtains the measurement value at T1 time, it is determined that the accuracy of the predicted value is less than or equal to the second accuracy threshold information according to the measurement value and the predicted value, and the terminal device also reports the measurement value information at T1 time to the network device.
[0082] As still another implementation, the triggering condition comprises quality threshold information of event-triggered reporting. The quality threshold information is used to indicate that the terminal device reports the predicted value that meets the quality threshold information; for example, when the terminal device determines that the predicted value output by the AI model meets the quality threshold information, the predicted value is reported. Only as an example, the event can comprise any one of triggering events A1 to A6, or comprise other triggering events, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
[0083] The above triggering condition is only an example, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
[0084] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration information can also indicate the maximum number of predicted handover target cells that can be reported, and / or the maximum number of recommended handover target cells that can be reported.
[0085] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration information further includes third indication information. Correspondingly, the third indication information indicates a time range for reporting the predicted value information and / or the prediction information. After performing AI prediction, the terminal device reports the predicted value information and / or the prediction information in the above time range.
[0086] The above describes the prediction configuration information in the embodiments of the present application. The following describes how to perform measurement, prediction and reporting according to the prediction configuration information.
[0087] In some embodiments, in 202, the terminal device performs measurement according to the measurement configuration information and the mode configuration information in the prediction configuration information, and performs AI prediction (using the measurement result as the input of the AI model) using the measurement result (measurement value information) and the AI model to obtain the predicted value information and / or the prediction information. According to the configuration of the network device, the AI prediction performed by the terminal device can be in the granularity of frequency point, cell or measurement identifier. The predicted value information and / or the measurement value information can be cell and / or beam. How to perform measurement and prediction according to the prediction configuration information to obtain the predicted value information and / or the prediction information is described above, and will not be described here.
[0088] In some embodiments, optionally, when the terminal device performs AI prediction on the measurement object, the terminal device can ignore the reference signal configuration information corresponding to the measurement object.
[0089] In some embodiments, in 203, the terminal device can send the reporting information to the network device according to the reporting configuration information in the prediction configuration information, the reporting information including the predicted value information of the cell and / or the beam, and / or the prediction information related to the target cell of handover. Optionally, the reporting information can also include the measurement value information of the cell and / or the beam. In addition, as mentioned above, optionally, if the reporting configuration information includes the third indication information, the terminal device can only report the predicted value information and / or the prediction information within the time range indicated by the third indication information. In addition, as mentioned above, optionally, if the reporting configuration information indicates that the terminal device needs to report the suggested target cell information of handover, the reporting information can also include the indication information indicating the suggested target cell information of handover, or can include the suggested target cell information of handover and the handover configuration information of the target cell. As an example, the reporting information includes the predicted target cell information and the indication information indicating the suggested target cell information of handover, i.e. indicator_S; for example, the reporting information includes {[predicted cell1 information], [predicated cell 2 information, indicator_S]}, in which cell1 and cell2 are both the predicted target cell information of handover, and cell2 is the suggested target cell of handover. As another example, the reporting information also includes an independent information element for indicating the suggested target cell information of handover; for example, the reporting information includes suggested target cell information.
[0090] In some embodiments, the method can further include (not shown):
[0091] The terminal device receives the mobility configuration information sent by the network device, the mobility configuration information being used to indicate the terminal device to perform the handover to the target cell of handover; and the terminal device performs the handover to the target cell of handover according to the mobility configuration information.
[0092] In some embodiments, the mobility configuration information includes the target cell information of handover and the handover configuration information corresponding to the target cell. The description of the handover configuration information is as above, which will not be repeated here.
[0093] In some embodiments, the target cell for switching is a cell determined based on the reported predicted value information of the cell, and / or a cell determined based on the prediction information. For example, the network device selects a cell with the highest cell quality, or a cell with the most good beams, or a cell with the longest residence time, as the target cell for switching according to the prediction information and / or the predicted value information (e.g., predicted measurement result information of the cell, predicted residence information of the target cell for switching, predicted beam information under the cell, predicted measurement result information of the beam, etc.), and sends mobility configuration information including the target cell for switching and corresponding switching configuration information to the terminal device, and the terminal device performs a switching process with the cell according to the corresponding mobility configuration information.
[0094] In some embodiments, optionally, the method can further include that the terminal device can also receive AI function activation indication information from the network device, for indicating the AI function or AI model that needs to be activated by the terminal device. The AI function activation indication information can be identification information of the AI function or AI model. The AI function activation indication information and the prediction configuration information can be sent in the same message or in different messages respectively, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
[0095] In some embodiments, for the above switching process, reference can be made to the related art, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard. The above prediction configuration information and / or reporting information and / or mobility configuration information and / or AI function activation indication information can be carried by RRC signaling and / or MAC CE and / or physical layer signaling, and each of the above configuration information can be carried by the same or different signaling, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
[0096] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the method of the embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited thereto, and appropriate modifications can be made on the basis of the above embodiments. For example, each of the above embodiments can be used alone, or one or more of the above embodiments can be combined.
