For example, a cellular phone and a car communicate with each other using a sidelink signal. The cellular phone and the smart home device communicate with each other without relaying the communication signal through the base station.

[0029] The access network device in the embodiments of the present application can be a device for communicating with a terminal device, and the access network device can also be referred to as a radio access network device, for example, the access network device can be a base station. The access network device in the embodiments of the present application can refer to a radio access network (RAN) node (or device) for accessing a terminal device to a wireless network. The base station can broadly cover various names in the following or be replaced by the following names, such as: Node B (NodeB), evolved Node B (eNB), next generation Node B (gNB), relay station, transmitting and receiving point (TRP), transmitting point (TP), master station MeNB, auxiliary station SeNB, multi-standard radio (MSR) node, home base station, network controller, access node, wireless node, access point (AP), transmission node, transceiver node, baseband unit (BBU), remote radio unit (RRU), active antenna unit (AAU), remote radio head (RRH), centralized unit (CU), distributed unit (DU), centralized unit-control plane (CU-CP), centralized unit-user plane (CU-UP), positioning node, etc. The base station can be a macro base station, a micro base station, a relay node, a donor node or the like, or a combination thereof.

[0033] It should be understood that all or part of the functions of the communication device in the present application can also be realized by software functions running on hardware, or by virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform).

[0034] Cell handover

[0035] In a mobile communication system (such as an NR system), the service cell of a terminal device will change with the movement of the terminal device, and the process of service cell change is called cell handover. Generally, in order to assist the network device to timely perceive the movement state of the terminal device, the network device can configure a measurement object for the terminal device in advance. When a measurement result reporting event associated with the measurement object is met, the terminal device will send the measurement result of one or more cells to the network device. In this way, the network device can select one or more neighbor cells to initiate a handover request based on the measurement result reported by the terminal device and additional information obtained locally (such as the load state of each neighbor cell). In some implementation manners, after the current service cell of the terminal device obtains the admission feedback of a certain neighbor cell, the handover command generated by the target cell will be forwarded to the terminal device, which can be included in the admission feedback information. After the terminal device successfully receives the handover command generated by the target cell, the terminal device can initiate a connection establishment process to the target cell, and the connection establishment is successful, which completes the entire air interface handover process.

[0036] The inference process of an AI function and / or an AI model generally refers to the process of obtaining a model output according to one or more model inputs by the AI function and / or the AI model.

[0037] In some cases, the accuracy of the result obtained by using the inference process of the AI function and / or the AI model is high, but in some cases, the accuracy of the result obtained by using the inference process of the AI function and / or the AI model is relatively low, which may lead to the performance degradation of the communication system.

[0038] To solve the above problems, the inventors find that the inference process of an AI function and / or an AI model generally exists under a better inference condition (i.e., the first condition below). If the inference of the AI function and / or the AI model is performed under the better inference condition, the accuracy of the result obtained by the inference is generally higher. If the inference of the AI function and / or the AI model is not performed under the better inference condition, the accuracy of the result obtained by the inference cannot be guaranteed. Based on this, the inventors propose that whether to perform the inference process of the AI function and / or the AI model can be determined based on the first condition, which is beneficial to guarantee that the inference process of the AI function and / or the AI model occurs under suitable conditions, thereby being beneficial to improve the accuracy of the result output by the inference of the AI function and / or the AI model, and also being beneficial to avoid that the low-accuracy inference of the AI function and / or the AI model leads to the performance degradation of the communication system.

[0039] The first condition is introduced below.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the first condition can be used to determine (or judge) whether to perform the inference of the first function, for example, the first condition can be used by the terminal device to determine whether to perform the inference of the first function.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first function can include one or more of the following: an AI function, an AI model.

[0042] In some embodiments, the inference of the first function can be implemented by one or more AI models.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the first function. That is, in the embodiments of the present application, the first function can be any AI function and / or AI model, for example, the first function can be any AI function and / or AI model that can be executed by the terminal device.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first function can be used in one or more of the following inference processes: the inference process of cell measurement result prediction, the inference process of cell handover decision, and the inference process of data retransmission decision. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and the first function can be applied to the inference process of any AI function and / or AI model that can be executed by the terminal device.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first function can be used for the inference of the measurement result of a cell, wherein the measurement result of the cell includes a beam-level measurement result and / or a cell-level measurement result. For example, the first function can be used to infer (or predict) the measurement result of the serving cell of the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as the serving cell) and / or the measurement result of the neighbor cell of the terminal device (or the neighbor cell of the serving cell of the terminal device, hereinafter referred to as the neighbor cell).

[0046] In some embodiments, the first function being configured to infer obtaining the measurement result of the serving cell and / or the measurement result of the neighbor cell can comprise: the first function being configured to infer obtaining the measurement result of the serving cell.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first function being configured to infer obtaining the measurement result of the serving cell and / or the measurement result of the neighbor cell can comprise: the first function being configured to infer obtaining the measurement result of the neighbor cell.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first function being configured to infer obtaining the measurement result of the serving cell and / or the measurement result of the neighbor cell can comprise: the first function being configured to infer obtaining the measurement result of the serving cell and the measurement result of the neighbor cell.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first condition is related to one or more of the following: the measurement result obtained by the terminal device (or, the actual measurement result obtained by the terminal device, or, the measurement result obtained by the terminal device by actually measuring the reference signal), the location of the terminal device (or, the location where the terminal device is located). In this way, the terminal device can determine whether to perform the inference of the first function according to the measurement result obtained by the terminal device and / or the location of the terminal device. For example, when the measurement result obtained by the terminal device is low and / or the terminal device is located at the edge of the cell, the inference of the first function is not performed / stopped, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the inference result of the first function. This is because, in the model training process corresponding to the first function, most of the training data is collected by the terminal device under the condition that the actual measurement result is high, or the terminal device is close to the center of the cell; and a small part of the training data is collected by the terminal device under the condition that the actual measurement result is low, or the terminal device is located at the edge of the cell. In this way, when the actual measurement result of the terminal device is low or the terminal device is located at the edge of the cell, the accuracy of the result obtained by using such a model for inference is relatively low. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application consider the measurement result obtained by the terminal device and / or the location of the terminal device when using the first function for inference, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the inference result of the first model.

[0050] That is, in some embodiments, the terminal device can make time-domain and / or space-domain measurement inference (or prediction) according to actual measurement results. Therefore, in order to facilitate the distinction, the embodiments of the present application distinguish the actual measurement results of the terminal device and the inferred measurement results by using the first measurement results and the second measurement results. Among them, the first measurement results can be used to indicate the actual measurement results of the terminal device (i.e., the actual measurement results obtained by the terminal device, or the measurement results obtained by the terminal device by actually measuring the reference signal). The second measurement results can be used to indicate the measurement results inferred by the terminal device (i.e., the measurement results predicted by the terminal device, or the predicted measurement results obtained by the terminal device).

[0051] For example, the first measurement results of the serving cell can be used to indicate the actual measurement results of the serving cell of the terminal device, i.e., the measurement results of the serving cell actually measured by the terminal device. The second measurement results of the serving cell can be used to indicate the measurement results of the serving cell inferred by the terminal device.

[0052] For another example, the first measurement results of the neighbor cell can be used to indicate the actual measurement results of the neighbor cell of the terminal device, i.e., the measurement results of the neighbor cell actually measured by the terminal device. The second measurement results of the neighbor cell can be used to indicate the measurement results of the neighbor cell inferred by the terminal device.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first condition can be related to one or more of the following: the first measurement results of the serving cell, the first measurement results of the neighbor cell, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and one or more reference locations, whether the terminal device is in a location reference area.

[0054] As an implementation manner, in the scenario where the first function is used to infer the second measurement results of the serving cell and / or the second measurement results of the neighbor cell, the first condition can be related to one or more of the following: the first measurement results of the serving cell, the first measurement results of the neighbor cell, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and one or more reference locations, whether the terminal device is in a location reference area. In the scenario where the first function is used to infer the second measurement results of the serving cell and / or the second measurement results of the neighbor cell, the embodiments of the present application can optimize the inference behavior of the terminal device to predict the second measurement results of the cell by the AI function through the first condition, which is conducive to reducing the invalid measurement result inference behavior.

[0055] In some embodiments, the measurement result of the serving cell and / or the measurement result of the neighbor cell can comprise one or more of: a beam level measurement result, a cell level measurement result. For example, the first measurement result of the serving cell and / or the first measurement result of the neighbor cell can comprise one or more of: a first beam level measurement result, a first cell level measurement result. For another example, the second measurement result of the serving cell and / or the second measurement result of the neighbor cell can comprise one or more of: a second beam level measurement result, a second cell level measurement result. In other words, the second measurement result of the serving cell or the second measurement result of the neighbor cell obtained through the inference process can be a beam level measurement result, or a cell level measurement result, or a beam level measurement result and a cell level measurement result.

[0056] For example, the measurement result of the serving cell can comprise a beam level measurement result of the serving cell and / or a cell level measurement result of the serving cell. In some embodiments, the measurement result of the serving cell comprises a beam level measurement result of the serving cell; in other embodiments, the measurement result of the serving cell comprises a cell level measurement result of the serving cell; in yet other embodiments, the measurement result of the serving cell comprises a beam level measurement result of the serving cell and a cell level measurement result of the serving cell. Wherein, the measurement result of the serving cell can refer to the first measurement result of the serving cell, or can refer to the second measurement result of the serving cell, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0057] For another example, the measurement result of the neighbor cell can comprise a beam level measurement result of the neighbor cell and / or a cell level measurement result of the neighbor cell. In some embodiments, the measurement result of the neighbor cell comprises a beam level measurement result of the neighbor cell; in other embodiments, the measurement result of the neighbor cell comprises a cell level measurement result of the neighbor cell; in yet other embodiments, the measurement result of the neighbor cell comprises a beam level measurement result of the neighbor cell and a cell level measurement result of the neighbor cell. Wherein, the measurement result of the neighbor cell can refer to the first measurement result of the neighbor cell, or can refer to the second measurement result of the neighbor cell, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first condition can be protocol predefined, in which case the first condition can also be referred to as a "preset condition". In some embodiments, the first condition can be configured by the network device.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first conditions corresponding to different scenarios can be different. For ease of understanding, the first conditions are described in more detail below in combination with scenarios 1 to 3, taking the first function for reasoning to obtain the second measurement result of the serving cell and / or the second measurement result of the neighbor cell as an example. The first conditions in the case of the first function for other reasoning processes are similar to those in the case of the first function for reasoning to obtain the second measurement result of the serving cell and / or the second measurement result of the neighbor cell, and are not described in detail for brevity.

[0060] It should be noted that the first conditions involved in the scenarios below can be used alone or in combination, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For example, the first condition involved in scenario 1, the first condition involved in scenario 2, and the first condition involved in scenario 3 can be used alone. For another example, the first condition involved in scenario 1 and the first condition involved in scenario 2 can be used in combination.

[0061] Scenario 1: The first function is used for reasoning to obtain the second measurement result of the serving cell

[0062] In scenario 1, the reasoning of the first function involves the serving cell. For example, the reasoning of the first function is applicable to the serving cell, or in other words, the first function can be applicable to reasoning to obtain the second measurement result of the serving cell.

[0063] In scenario 1, the first condition can include one or more of the following: the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the first reference location is less than or equal to a second threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to (or is located in) the location range indicated by the first location reference region.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the serving cell being greater than or equal to the first threshold value can include that the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process are all greater than or equal to the first threshold value.

[0065] In some embodiments, the measurement result of the serving cell being greater than or equal to the first threshold value can include that the beam measurement results of the top K beams with the best measurement results in the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process are all greater than or equal to the first threshold value. The value of K is not limited by the embodiments of the present application, and exemplarily, K is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and / or the value of K is less than the number of all beams indicated by the first beam set.

[0066] In some embodiments, the measurement result of the serving cell being greater than or equal to the first threshold value can include that the cell-level measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold value.

[0067] In some embodiments, the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams of the serving cell that the terminal device can actually measure, and the terminal device confirms the first beam set through dedicated signaling sent by the network device or determines the first beam set through terminal device implementation.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first function can include one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the first threshold, beam measurement results of the best K beams in the beam measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the first threshold, and a cell-level measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first function can include one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the first threshold, beam measurement results of the best K beams in the beam measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0070] In some embodiments, the measurement quantity corresponding to the first measurement result of the serving cell can include one or more of the following: reference signal receiving power (RSRP), reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), and received signal strength indicator (RSSI). For example, the measurement quantity corresponding to the first measurement result of the serving cell is RSRP or RSRQ or SINR or RSSI.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the first reference location is less than or equal to the second threshold value, it can be considered that the terminal device is close to the serving cell, and thus the first measurement result of the cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is relatively high.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first reference location is a reference location corresponding to the serving cell, or in other words, the first reference location is determined according to the serving cell. For example, the first reference location is determined according to the center location of the serving cell. As an implementation manner, the first reference location is the center location of the serving cell, such as the geographic coordinate location where the center of the serving cell is located. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, for example, the first reference location is any location close to the center location of the serving cell.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the first reference location is less than or equal to the second threshold value, it can be considered that the terminal device is close to the serving cell, and thus the first measurement result of the cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is relatively high.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the first location reference area, it can be considered that the current location of the terminal device is close to the serving cell, and thus the first measurement result of the cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is relatively high.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first location reference area is determined according to the coverage range of the serving cell. As an implementation manner, the first location reference area includes the central coverage range of the serving cell (or in other words, the area where the signal coverage of the serving cell is good), or the first location reference area can be located within the signal coverage range of the serving cell. An example of the first location reference area is given below in connection with FIG. 2. In the example of FIG. 2, the coverage range of the serving cell is a circular range with the center location O of the serving cell as the center and R1 as the radius, and the first location reference area is the shaded area shown in FIG. 2, that is, the first location reference area is a circular range with the center location O of the serving cell as the center and R2 as the radius, where R2 is less than R1.

[0076] The present application does not make specific limitations on the proportional relationship between R2 and R1. For example, R2 can be 50% of R1, or R2 can be 70% of R1, or R2 can be 80% of R1, etc.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first location reference area is represented by a center reference location and a radius parameter, that is, the first location reference area is represented by taking the center reference location as the center and the value of the radius parameter as the radius.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first location reference area is represented by the connection of the plurality of reference locations, i.e., the polygon boundary obtained after connecting the plurality of reference locations one by one is the first location reference area.

[0079] In some embodiments, the current location of the terminal device belonging to the location range indicated by the first location reference area can be understood or replaced as one or more of the following: the terminal device is close to the location where the center of the serving cell is located, and the terminal device is not at the edge of the serving cell.

[0080] In some embodiments, one or more of the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the first reference location, and the first location reference area are protocol predefined.

[0081] In some embodiments, one or more of the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the first reference location, and the first location reference area are configured to the terminal device by the network device. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the way in which the network device configures these parameters. For example, one or more of the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the first reference location, and the first location reference area are configured to the terminal device by the network device in one or more of the following ways: system broadcast message, dedicated signaling.

[0082] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the dedicated signaling used by the network device to configure the above-mentioned parameters. For example, the network device can configure the above-mentioned parameters in one or more of the following signaling: radio resource control (RRC) signaling, media access control control element (MAC CE), downlink control information (DCI).

[0083] In some embodiments, part of the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the first reference location, and the first location reference area are protocol predefined, and another part of the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the first reference location, and the first location reference area are configured to the terminal device by the network device, and the present application also does not exclude this implementation manner.

[0084] In some embodiments, one or more of the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the first reference location, and the first location reference area are configured in one or more of the following granularity: terminal device, frequency point, cell.

[0085] In some embodiments, configuring the above-mentioned parameters in the granularity of the terminal device can be understood as that the above-mentioned parameters are configured for the terminal device, and the above-mentioned parameters corresponding to different terminal devices can be different.

[0086] In some embodiments, if the above parameters are configured in a terminal device granularity, the configured above parameters can be applicable to any frequency point or any cell indicated in the measurement configuration. For example, for terminal device A, the same set of configuration parameters is used for any frequency point or any cell indicated in the measurement configuration of terminal device A.

[0087] In some embodiments, configuring the above parameters in a frequency point granularity can be understood as that the configured above parameters are associated with frequency point information, that is, one frequency point or a group of frequency points can be associated with the same set of configuration parameters.

[0088] In some embodiments, configuring the above parameters in a cell granularity can be understood as that the configured above parameters are associated with a cell, that is, one cell or a group of cells can be associated with the same set of configuration parameters. For example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a cell identifier, and the above parameters corresponding to different cell identifiers can be different.

[0089] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the cell identifier, as long as the cell identifier can be used to identify a cell. Exemplarily, the cell identifier can include one or more of the following: a cell global identifier (CGI), a physical cell identifier (PCI), frequency point information, and a cell index.

[0090] As an example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a CGI.

[0091] As another example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a PCI.

[0092] As yet another example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a PCI and frequency point information.

[0093] As yet another example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a cell index.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first condition can include a single condition, that is, the first condition can include one of the above conditions.

[0095] As an implementation manner, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value.

[0096] As an implementation manner, the first condition is that the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the first reference location is less than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0097] As an implementation manner, the first condition is that the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the first location reference area.

[0098] In some embodiments, the first condition can comprise a plurality of the above-mentioned conditions.

[0099] As an implementation, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the first reference location is less than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0100] As an implementation, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the first location reference area.

[0101] As an implementation, the first condition is that the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the first reference location is less than or equal to a second threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the first location reference area.

[0102] As an implementation, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the first reference location is less than or equal to a second threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the first location reference area.

[0103] In some embodiments, for any of the above-mentioned implementations of the first condition, if the parameter involved in the first condition is present in a configuration process, the terminal device needs to determine whether the corresponding first condition is met; otherwise, if the parameter involved in the first condition is not present in a configuration process, the terminal device does not need to determine whether the corresponding first condition is met. For example, assuming that the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, at this time, the parameter involved in the first condition is the first threshold value, and the network device can configure the first threshold value to the terminal device through dedicated signaling (which is carried in the first message). Then, in a configuration process, if the first threshold value included in the first message sent by the network device to the terminal device is present, the terminal device needs to determine whether the corresponding first condition is met, and then determines whether to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell according to the first condition; if the first threshold value included in the first message sent by the network device to the terminal device is not present, the terminal device does not need to determine whether the corresponding first condition is met. In the case where the first threshold value included in the first message is not present, whether to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell can depend on other conditions (such as whether the reference signal configuration for measurement inference is configured). Other implementations of the first condition are similarly handled in the above manner, which will not be exemplified one by one here.

[0104] In scenario 1, the closer the terminal device is to the center of the serving cell, the higher the first measurement result of the serving cell measured by the terminal device, and the higher measurement result measured is conducive to the terminal device to perform a more accurate measurement result inference.

[0105] In scenario 1, the second measurement result inference performed by the terminal device is applicable to the serving cell, and compared with inferring the second measurement result of the neighbor cell, inferring the second measurement result of the serving cell is simpler from the perspective of terminal device implementation. This is because the measurement of the terminal device on the serving cell is usually ongoing, that is, the demand of the terminal device for measurement result inference on the serving cell is always present. However, whether to start the measurement inference of the neighbor cell depends on whether the first measurement result of the serving cell is low enough, that is, the demand for the second measurement result inference on the neighbor cell is not always present.

[0106] Scenario 2: the first function is used to infer the second measurement result of the neighbor cell

[0107] In scenario 2, the inference of the first function involves the neighbor cell. For example, the inference of the first function is applicable to the neighbor cell, or in other words, the first function can be applicable to inferring the second measurement result of the neighbor cell.

[0111] In some embodiments, the value of N can be the same as the value of K. In some embodiments, the value of N can be different from the value of K.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the serving cell being less than or equal to the third threshold value can comprise: a cell-level measurement result of the serving cell being less than or equal to the third threshold value.

[0113] In some embodiments, the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams of the serving cell that the terminal device is able to actually measure. That is, the network device transmits reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the first beam set, in which case the first beam set can also be referred to as a set B beam set.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first function is used to infer, in the case of obtaining the second measurement result of the neighbor cell in the time domain, that the first measurement result of the serving cell is less than or equal to the third threshold value, which can comprise one or more of: all beam measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process being less than or equal to the third threshold value, beam measurement results of the first N beams with the worst measurement results among the beam measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process being less than or equal to the third threshold value, a cell-level measurement result of the serving cell being less than or equal to the third threshold value.

[0116] In some embodiments, the measurement quantity corresponding to the first measurement result of the serving cell can comprise one or more of: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, RSSI. For example, the measurement quantity corresponding to the first measurement result of the serving cell is RSRP or RSRQ or SINR or RSSI.

[0117] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value can comprise: all beam measurement results of the beams indicated by the second beam set corresponding to the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process being greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value can include that all beam measurement results of the first M best beams in the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set of the neighbor cell corresponding to the actual measurement process obtained by the terminal device are greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value. The present application does not limit the value of M, and exemplarily, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and / or the value of M is less than the number of all beams indicated by the second beam set.

[0119] In some embodiments, the value of M can be the same as the value of K. In some embodiments, the value of M can be different from the value of K.

[0120] In some embodiments, the value of M can be the same as the value of N. In some embodiments, the value of M can be different from the value of N.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value can include that the cell-level measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value.

[0122] In some embodiments, the beams indicated by the second beam set are beams of the neighbor cell that can be actually measured by the terminal device, and the terminal device confirms the second beam set through dedicated signaling sent by the network device or determines the second beam set through the terminal device implementation mode. That is, the network device sends the reference signal corresponding to the beams indicated by the second beam set, and in this case, the second beam set can also be referred to as the set B beam set.

[0123] In some embodiments, in the case of inferring the second measurement result of the neighbor cell in the time domain, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value can include one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of the first M best beams in the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set of the neighbor cell corresponding to the actual measurement process obtained by the terminal device are greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value, all beam measurement results of the first M best beams in the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set of the neighbor cell corresponding to the actual measurement process obtained by the terminal device are greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value, and the cell-level measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first function is configured to, in a case that the second measurement result of the neighbor cell is obtained by reasoning on the spatial domain, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value can comprise one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of the second beam set indicated by the neighbor cell corresponding to the terminal device obtained by the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value, the first M beam measurement results of the best beam measurement results of the second beam set indicated by the neighbor cell corresponding to the terminal device obtained by the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the fifth threshold value.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell corresponds to one or more of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, RSSI. For example, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell corresponds to RSRP or RSRQ or SINR or RSSI.

[0126] In some embodiments, when the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the second reference location is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold value, it can be considered that the terminal device is far away from the serving cell, and thus the first measurement result of the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is relatively low.

[0127] In some embodiments, the second reference location is a reference location corresponding to the serving cell, or in other words, the second reference location is determined according to the serving cell. For example, the second reference location is determined according to the center location of the serving cell. As an implementation manner, the second reference location is the center location of the serving cell, such as the geographic coordinate location where the center of the serving cell is located. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, for example, the second reference location is any location close to the center location of the serving cell.

[0128] In some embodiments, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the second reference location being greater than or equal to the fourth threshold value can also be understood or replaced by one or more of the following: the current location of the terminal device is far away from the location where the center of the serving cell is located, the terminal device is at the edge of the serving cell.

[0129] In some embodiments, when the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the third reference location is less than or equal to the sixth threshold value, it can be considered that the terminal device is close to the neighbor cell, and thus the first measurement result of the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is relatively high.

[0130] In some embodiments, the third reference location is a reference location corresponding to the neighbor cell, or in other words, the third reference location is determined according to the neighbor cell. For example, the third reference location is determined according to a center location of the neighbor cell. As an implementation, the third reference location is the center location of the neighbor cell, such as a geographic coordinate location where the center of the neighbor cell is located. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, for example, the third reference location is any location close to the center location of the neighbor cell.

[0131] In some embodiments, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the third reference location is less than or equal to the sixth threshold value can also be understood or replaced as one or more of the following: the current location of the terminal device is close to the location where the center of the neighbor cell is located, and the terminal device is not at the edge of the neighbor cell.

[0132] In some embodiments, when the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the second location reference area, it can be considered that the terminal device is close to the neighbor cell, so that the first measurement result of the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is relatively high.

[0133] In some embodiments, the second location reference area is determined according to the coverage range of the neighbor cell. As an implementation, the second location reference area includes the central coverage range of the neighbor cell (or in other words, the area where the signal coverage of the neighbor cell is good), or the second location reference area can be located within the signal coverage range of the neighbor cell. The relationship between the second location reference area and the coverage range of the neighbor cell can refer to the relationship between the first location reference area and the coverage range of the serving cell (that is, refer to the example of FIG. 2), and for brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0134] In some embodiments, the current location of the terminal device being located in the location range indicated by the second location reference area can be understood or replaced as one or more of the following: the current location of the terminal device is close to the location where the center of the neighbor cell is located, and the terminal device is not at the edge of the neighbor cell.

[0135] In some embodiments, one or more of the third threshold value, the fourth threshold value, the fifth threshold value, the sixth threshold value, the second reference location, the third reference location, and the second location reference area are protocol predefined.

[0136] In some embodiments, one or more of the third threshold, the fourth threshold, the fifth threshold, the sixth threshold, the second reference location, the third reference location, and the second location reference area are configured to the terminal device by the network device. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the network device configures these parameters. For example, one or more of the third threshold, the fourth threshold, the fifth threshold, the sixth threshold, the second reference location, the third reference location, and the second location reference area are configured to the terminal device by the network device in one or more of the following manners: system broadcast message, dedicated signaling.

[0137] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the dedicated signaling used by the network device to configure the above-mentioned parameters. For example, the network device can configure the above-mentioned parameters in one or more of the following signaling: RRC signaling, MAC CE, DCI.

[0138] In some embodiments, part of the third threshold, the fourth threshold, the fifth threshold, the sixth threshold, the second reference location, the third reference location, and the second location reference area are pre-defined by the protocol, and another part of the third threshold, the fourth threshold, the fifth threshold, the sixth threshold, the second reference location, the third reference location, and the second location reference area are configured to the terminal device by the network device. The present application also does not exclude this implementation manner.

[0139] In some embodiments, one or more of the third threshold, the fourth threshold, the fifth threshold, the sixth threshold, the second reference location, the third reference location, and the second location reference area are configured in one or more of the following granularities: terminal device, frequency point, cell.

[0140] In some embodiments, configuring the above-mentioned parameters in the granularity of the terminal device can be understood as that the above-mentioned parameters are configured for the terminal device, and the above-mentioned parameters corresponding to different terminal devices can be different.

[0141] In some embodiments, if the above-mentioned parameters are configured in the granularity of the terminal device, the configured above-mentioned parameters can be applicable to any frequency point or any cell indicated in the measurement configuration. For example, for terminal device A, the same set of configuration parameters are used for any frequency point or any cell indicated in the measurement configuration of terminal device A.

[0142] In some embodiments, configuring the above-mentioned parameters in the granularity of the frequency point can be understood as that the configured above-mentioned parameters are associated with the frequency point information, that is, one frequency point or a group of frequency points can be associated with the same set of configuration parameters.

[0143] In some embodiments, the configuration of the above parameters in a cell granularity can be understood as that the configured above parameters are associated with a cell, and one cell or a group of cells can be associated with the same set of configured parameters. For example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a cell identifier, and the above parameters corresponding to different cell identifiers can be different.

[0144] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the cell identifier, as long as the cell identifier can be used to identify a cell. For example, the cell identifier can include one or more of the following: CGI, PCI, frequency point information, and cell index.

[0145] As an example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a CGI.

[0146] As another example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a PCI.

[0147] As yet another example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a PCI and frequency point information.

[0148] As yet another example, the configured above parameters can be associated with a cell index.

[0174] As an implementation form, the first condition is that the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the second reference location is greater than or equal to a fourth threshold value, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the third reference location is less than or equal to a sixth threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the second location reference area.

[0175] As an implementation form, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold value, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the third reference location is less than or equal to a sixth threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device is within the location range indicated by the second location reference area.

[0176] As an implementation form, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold value, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the third reference location is less than or equal to a sixth threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device is within the location range indicated by the second location reference area.

[0182] In some embodiments, for any implementation of the first condition, if the parameter involved in the first condition appears in one configuration procedure, the terminal device needs to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied; otherwise, if the parameter involved in the first condition does not appear in one configuration procedure, the terminal device does not need to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied. For example, assuming that the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is less than or equal to a third threshold value, at this time, the parameter involved in the first condition is the third threshold value, and the network device can configure the third threshold value to the terminal device through dedicated signaling (which is carried in the first message). Then, in one configuration procedure, if the third threshold value contained in the first message sent by the network device to the terminal device appears, the terminal device needs to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied, and then determines whether to infer the second measurement result of the neighbor cell according to the first condition; if the third threshold value contained in the first message sent by the network device to the terminal device does not appear, the terminal device does not need to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied. In the case where the third threshold value contained in the first message does not appear, whether to infer the second measurement result of the neighbor cell can depend on other conditions (such as whether the reference signal configuration for measurement inference is configured). Other implementations of the first condition are handled in the same way as described above, and will not be illustrated one by one here.

[0183] In scenario 2, the closer the terminal device is to the center of the neighbor cell or the farther the terminal device is from the center of the serving cell, the higher the measurement result of the neighbor cell measured by the terminal device, and the higher measurement result measured is conducive to the terminal device to perform neighbor cell measurement result inference with higher accuracy.

[0184] In scenario 2, the measurement result inference performed by the terminal device is applicable to the neighbor cell, and measuring the neighbor cell is usually to assist the network device to implement mobility control, and by controlling the measurement result inference of the neighbor cell through the first condition, the accuracy of the inferred measurement result of the neighbor cell can be guaranteed, which is convenient for the network device to make appropriate handover decisions.

[0185] Scenario 3: The first function is used to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell

[0186] In scenario 3, the first function can be used to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell, or in other words, the inference of the first function involves the serving cell and the neighbor cell.

[0187] As an implementation manner, for the scenario that the first function is used to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell, the serving cell and the neighbor cell can independently control the corresponding inference process. That is, the inference of the second measurement result of the serving cell and the inference of the second measurement result of the neighbor cell are independently performed. Wherein, the inference of the second measurement result of the serving cell can adopt the implementation manner of the above scenario 1, and the inference of the second measurement result of the neighbor cell can adopt the implementation manner of the above scenario 2, which will not be described here.

[0188] In the case that the serving cell and the neighbor cell independently control the inference process of the second measurement result, simultaneously considering the inference of the second measurement result of the serving cell and the neighbor cell is beneficial to guarantee the accuracy of the second measurement result of any cell inferred by the terminal device, and at the same time, the advantage of AI technology in measurement inference can be maximally utilized, because the serving cell and the neighbor cell of the terminal device can save measurement overhead by means of AI inference technology when the first condition is met.

[0189] As another implementation manner, for the scenario that the first function is used to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell, the inference process of the serving cell and the inference process of the neighbor cell are jointly controlled, that is, the inference process of the serving cell and the inference process of the neighbor cell are simultaneously performed. That is, the same kind of first condition is used to determine whether to start the inference of the second measurement result of the serving cell and the inference of the second measurement result of the neighbor cell.

[0190] In the case that the inference process of the serving cell and the inference process of the neighbor cell are jointly controlled, the first condition can include one or more of the following: the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a seventh threshold value and the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to an eighth threshold value; the distance between the current position of the terminal device and the fourth reference position is less than or equal to a ninth threshold value and the distance between the current position of the terminal device and the fifth reference position is less than or equal to a tenth threshold value; the current position of the terminal device belongs to the position range indicated by the third position reference area.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the serving cell being greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value can include that the beam measurement result of all beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the serving cell of the terminal device obtained through the actual measurement process is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value.

[0192] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the serving cell being greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value can comprise that all beam measurement results of the first beam set indicated by the terminal device through the actual measurement process corresponding to the serving cell are greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value. The value of K is not limited by the embodiments of the present application, and K is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and / or the value of K is less than the number of all beams indicated by the first beam set.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the serving cell being greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value can comprise that the cell-level measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value.

[0194] In some embodiments, the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams of the serving cell that can be actually measured by the terminal device. That is, the network device sends the reference signal corresponding to the beams indicated by the first beam set, and in this case, the first beam set can also be referred to as a set B beam set.

[0195] In some embodiments, the first function is used to infer, in the case of obtaining the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell in the time domain, that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value, which can comprise one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of the first beam set indicated by the terminal device through the actual measurement process corresponding to the serving cell are greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value, the beam measurement results of the best K beams in the beam measurement results of the first beam set indicated by the terminal device through the actual measurement process corresponding to the serving cell are greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value, and the cell-level measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value.

[0196] In some embodiments, the first function is used to infer, in the case of obtaining the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell in the space domain, that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value, which can comprise one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of the first beam set indicated by the terminal device through the actual measurement process corresponding to the serving cell are greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value, the beam measurement results of the best K beams in the beam measurement results of the first beam set indicated by the terminal device through the actual measurement process corresponding to the serving cell are greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value.

[0197] In some embodiments, the measurement quantity corresponding to the first measurement result of the serving cell can comprise one or more of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, and RSSI. For example, the measurement quantity corresponding to the first measurement result of the serving cell is RSRP or RSRQ or SINR or RSSI.

[0198] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value can include that all beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set corresponding to the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value.

[0199] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value can include that beam measurement results of the best M beams in the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set corresponding to the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value. The present embodiment does not limit the value of M, which is exemplarily an integer greater than or equal to 1, and / or the value of M is less than the number of all beams indicated by the second beam set.

[0200] In some embodiments, the value of M can be the same as the value of K. In some embodiments, the value of M can be different from the value of K.

[0201] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value can include that the cell-level measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value.

[0202] In some embodiments, the beams indicated by the second beam set are beams of the neighbor cell that can be actually measured by the terminal device. That is, the network device sends the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the second beam set, and in this case, the second beam set can also be referred to as a set B beam set.

[0203] In some embodiments, the first function is configured to, in the case of inferring to obtain the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell in the time domain, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value can include one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set corresponding to the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value, beam measurement results of the best M beams in the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set corresponding to the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value, and the cell-level measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value.

[0204] In some embodiments, the first function is configured to, in the case that the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell are obtained by reasoning in the spatial domain, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell being greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value can include one or more of the following: all beam measurement results of the second beam set indicated by the neighbor cell corresponding to the terminal device obtained by the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value, the beam measurement results of the first M beams with the best measurement result in the beam measurement results of all beams indicated by the second beam set corresponding to the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process are greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value.

[0205] In some embodiments, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell can correspond to one or more of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, RSSI. For example, the first measurement result of the neighbor cell corresponds to RSRP or RSRQ or SINR or RSSI.

[0206] In some embodiments, when the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fourth reference location is less than or equal to the ninth threshold value, it can be considered that the terminal device is close to the serving cell, and thus the first measurement result of the serving cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process will be relatively high.

[0207] In some embodiments, the fourth reference location is a reference location corresponding to the serving cell, or in other words, the fourth reference location is determined according to the serving cell. For example, the fourth reference location is determined according to the center location of the serving cell. As an implementation manner, the fourth reference location is the center location of the serving cell, such as the geographic coordinate location where the center of the serving cell is located. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, for example, the fourth reference location is any location close to the center location of the serving cell.

[0208] In some embodiments, the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fourth reference location being less than or equal to the ninth threshold value can also be understood or replaced by one or more of the following: the current location of the terminal device is close to the location where the center of the serving cell is located, and the terminal device is not at the edge of the serving cell.

[0209] In some embodiments, when the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fifth reference location is less than or equal to the tenth threshold value, it can be considered that the terminal device is close to the neighbor cell, and thus the first measurement result of the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process will be relatively high.

[0210] In some embodiments, the fifth reference position is a reference position corresponding to the neighbor cell, or in other words, the fifth reference position is determined according to the neighbor cell. For example, the fifth reference position is determined according to a center position of the neighbor cell. As an implementation, the fifth reference position is the center position of the neighbor cell, such as a geographic coordinate position where the center of the neighbor cell is located. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, for example, the fifth reference position is any position close to the center position of the neighbor cell.

[0211] In some embodiments, the distance between the current position of the terminal device and the fifth reference position being less than or equal to the tenth threshold value can also be understood or replaced by one or more of the following: the current position of the terminal device is close to the position where the center of the neighbor cell is located, the terminal device is not at the edge of the neighbor cell.

[0212] In some embodiments, when the terminal device belongs to the position range indicated by the third position reference area, it can be considered that the terminal device is close to the serving cell and close to the neighbor cell, so that the first measurement result of the serving cell and the neighbor cell obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is relatively high.

[0213] In some embodiments, the third position reference area is determined according to the coverage range of the serving cell and the coverage range of the neighbor cell. As an implementation, the third position reference area includes a part of the overlapping area of the signal coverage range of the serving cell and the signal coverage range of the neighbor cell. An example of the third position reference area is given below in combination with FIG. 3. In the example of FIG. 3, the signal coverage range of the serving cell is a circular range with the center position O1 of the serving cell as the center and a radius R1, the signal coverage range of the neighbor cell is a circular range with the center position O2 of the serving cell as the center and a radius R2, and the third position reference area is the shaded area shown in FIG. 3.

[0214] In some embodiments, the current position of the terminal device being located in the position range indicated by the third position reference area can be understood or replaced by one or more of the following: the current position of the terminal device is close to the serving cell and also close to the neighbor cell, the terminal device is not at the edge of the serving cell and not at the edge of the neighbor cell.

[0215] In some embodiments, one or more of the seventh threshold value, the eighth threshold value, the ninth threshold value, the tenth threshold value, the fourth reference position, the fifth reference position, and the third position reference area are protocol predefined.

[0216] In some embodiments, one or more of the seventh threshold value, the eighth threshold value, the ninth threshold value, the tenth threshold value, the fourth reference position, the fifth reference position, and the third position reference region are configured to the terminal device by the network device. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the network device configures these parameters. For example, one or more of the seventh threshold value, the eighth threshold value, the ninth threshold value, the tenth threshold value, the fourth reference position, the fifth reference position, and the third position reference region are configured to the terminal device by the network device in one or more of the following manners: a system broadcast message, dedicated signaling.

[0217] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the dedicated signaling used by the network device to configure the above-mentioned parameters. For example, the network device can configure the above-mentioned parameters in one or more of the following signaling: RRC signaling, MAC CE, DCI.

[0218] In some embodiments, some of the seventh threshold value, the eighth threshold value, the ninth threshold value, the tenth threshold value, the fourth reference position, the fifth reference position, and the third position reference region are pre-defined by the protocol, and the other part of the seventh threshold value, the eighth threshold value, the ninth threshold value, the tenth threshold value, the fourth reference position, the fifth reference position, and the third position reference region are configured to the terminal device by the network device. The present application also does not exclude this implementation manner.

[0219] In some embodiments, one or more of the seventh threshold value, the eighth threshold value, the ninth threshold value, the tenth threshold value, the fourth reference position, the fifth reference position, and the third position reference region are configured in one or more of the following granularities: terminal device, frequency point, cell.

[0220] In some embodiments, configuring the above-mentioned parameters in the granularity of the terminal device can be understood as the above-mentioned parameters being configured for the terminal device, and the above-mentioned parameters corresponding to different terminal devices can be different.

[0221] In some embodiments, if the above-mentioned parameters are configured in the granularity of the terminal device, the configured above-mentioned parameters can be applicable to any frequency point or any cell indicated in the measurement configuration. For example, for terminal device A, the same set of configuration parameters are used for any frequency point or any cell indicated in the measurement configuration of terminal device A.

[0222] In some embodiments, configuring the above-mentioned parameters in the granularity of the frequency point can be understood as the configured above-mentioned parameters being associated with the frequency point information, that is, one frequency point or a group of frequency points can be associated with the same set of configuration parameters.

[0223] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned parameters configured in a cell granularity can be understood as the above-mentioned parameters configured are associated with a cell, one cell or a group of cells can be associated with the same set of configured parameters. For example, the configured above-mentioned parameters can be associated with a cell identifier, and the above-mentioned parameters corresponding to different cell identifiers can be different.

[0224] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the cell identifier, as long as the cell identifier can be used to identify a cell. For example, the cell identifier can include one or more of the following: CGI, PCI, frequency point information, cell index.

[0225] As an example, the configured above-mentioned parameters can be associated with the CGI.

[0226] As another example, the configured above-mentioned parameters can be associated with the PCI.

[0227] As yet another example, the configured above-mentioned parameters can be associated with the PCI and the frequency point information.

[0228] As yet another example, the configured above-mentioned parameters can be associated with the cell index.

[0229] In some embodiments, the first condition can include a single condition, i.e., the first condition can include one of the above-mentioned conditions.

[0230] As an implementation, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value and the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value.

[0231] As an implementation, the first condition is that the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fourth reference location is less than or equal to the ninth threshold value and the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fifth reference location is less than or equal to the tenth threshold value.

[0232] As an implementation, the first condition is that the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the third location reference area.

[0233] In some embodiments, the first condition can include multiple of the above-mentioned conditions.

[0234] As an implementation, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value and the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value, and the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fourth reference location is less than or equal to the ninth threshold value and the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fifth reference location is less than or equal to the tenth threshold value.

[0235] As an implementation form, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value and the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the third location reference area.

[0236] As an implementation form, the first condition is that the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fourth reference location is less than or equal to the ninth threshold value and the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fifth reference location is less than or equal to the tenth threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the third location reference area.

[0237] As an implementation form, the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value and the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value, and the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fourth reference location is less than or equal to the ninth threshold value and the distance between the current location of the terminal device and the fifth reference location is less than or equal to the tenth threshold value, and the current location of the terminal device belongs to the location range indicated by the third location reference area.

[0238] In some embodiments, for any one of the implementation forms of the first condition described above, if the parameters involved in the first condition appear in one configuration process, the terminal device needs to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied; otherwise, if the parameters involved in the first condition do not appear in one configuration process, the terminal device does not need to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied. For example, assuming that the first condition is that the first measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold value and the first measurement result of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold value, at this time, the parameters involved in the first condition are the seventh threshold value and the eighth threshold value, and the network device can configure the seventh threshold value and the eighth threshold value to the terminal device through dedicated signaling (which is carried in the first message). Then, in one configuration process, if the seventh threshold value and the eighth threshold value contained in the first message sent by the network device to the terminal device appear, the terminal device needs to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied, and then determines whether to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell according to the first condition; if the seventh threshold value and the eighth threshold value contained in the first message sent by the network device to the terminal device do not appear, the terminal device does not need to determine whether the corresponding first condition is satisfied. In the case that the seventh threshold value and the eighth threshold value contained in the first message do not appear, whether to infer the second measurement result of the serving cell and the second measurement result of the neighbor cell can depend on other conditions (such as whether the reference signal configuration for measurement inference is configured). Other implementation forms of the first condition are processed in the above manner, which will not be illustrated one by one here.

[0239] In the case of joint control of the inference process of the serving cell and the inference process of the neighbor cell, the setting of the first condition can simultaneously take into account the accuracy requirement of the inferred second measurement result of the serving cell and the accuracy requirement of the inferred second measurement result of the neighbor cell.

[0240] In the case of joint control of the inference process of the serving cell and the inference process of the neighbor cell, on the one hand, the inference of the second measurement result involves both the serving cell and the neighbor cell, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the second measurement result of any cell inferred by the terminal device, and also maximizes the use of AI technology to achieve the advantages of measurement inference, because the serving cell and the neighbor cell of the terminal device can save measurement overhead by means of AI inference technology when the first condition is met; on the other hand, the same first condition is applicable to both the serving cell and the neighbor cell, which can also simplify the operation of the terminal device, i.e., there is no need to separately determine whether the inference of the second measurement result is needed for the serving cell and the neighbor cell.

[0241] It should be noted that the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned scenario 1 and scenario 2 also exist in scenario 3, which will not be repeated here.

[0242] As mentioned above, the first function can be used for the inference of the measurement result of the cell (or, the second measurement result of the cell), and the inference of the measurement result of the cell will be described in detail below.

[0243] In an implementation, the inference of the measurement results of the cell can be applied to the scenario of spatial beam inference related to beam management function. That is, the first function can be used to infer the measurement results of one or more serving cells, and the inference of the measurement results is used for the beam measurement results spatial domain inference process related to the beam management function. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers the predicted measurement results (i.e., the second measurement results) of the beams indicated by the third beam set corresponding to the first serving cell at the first time according to the actual measurement results (i.e., the first measurement results) of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the first serving cell at the first time. Wherein, the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams that the terminal device can actually measure (i.e., the network device will send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the first beam set), and the beams indicated by the third beam set are beams that the terminal device cannot actually measure (i.e., the network device will not send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the third beam set). The first serving cell is any one of the one or more serving cells of the terminal device. For example, the beams indicated by the first beam set include beam 1, beam 3 and beam 5, and the beams indicated by the second beam set include beam 2, beam 4 and beam 6. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers the beam measurement results of beam 2, beam 4 and beam 6 at the same time (the first time) according to the beam measurement results of beam 1, beam 3 and beam 5 at the first time.

[0244] In another implementation, the inference of the measurement results of the cell can be applied to the scenario of the time domain beam inference related to the beam management function. That is, the first function can be used to infer the measurement results of one or more serving cells, and the inference of the measurement results is used for the beam measurement results time domain inference process related to the beam management function. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the predicted measurement results (i.e., second measurement results) of the beams indicated by a fifth beam set corresponding to the first serving cell at one or more second time instants from the actual measurement results (i.e., first measurement results) of the beams indicated by a fourth beam set corresponding to the first serving cell at a first time instant (or at multiple historical time instants). The beams indicated by the fourth beam set are beams that the terminal device can actually measure (i.e., the network device will send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the fourth beam set). The beams indicated by the fifth beam set can be the same as or different from the beams indicated by the fourth beam set. The first serving cell is any one of the one or more serving cells of the terminal device. As an example, the beams indicated by the fourth beam set include beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5, and the beams indicated by the fifth beam set include beam 2, beam 4, and beam 6. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the beam measurement results of beam 2, beam 4, and beam 6 at different time instants (one or more second time instants) from the beam measurement results of beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5 at the first time instant. As another example, the beams indicated by the fourth beam set include beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5, and the beams indicated by the fifth beam set include beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the beam measurement results of beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5 at different time instants (one or more second time instants) from the beam measurement results of beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5 at the first time instant. As yet another example, the beams indicated by the fourth beam set include beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5, and the beams indicated by the fifth beam set include beam 1, beam 2, beam 3, beam 4, beam 5, and beam 6. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the beam measurement results of beam 1, beam 2, beam 3, beam 4, beam 5, and beam 6 at different time instants (one or more second time instants) from the beam measurement results of beam 1, beam 3, and beam 5 at the first time instant.

[0245] In yet another implementation, the inference of the measurement results of a cell can be applied to scenarios of radio resource management (RRM) or layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results inference. For example, the first function is used to infer the measurement results of one or more serving cells, and the inference of the measurement results is used for a layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results prediction procedure. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set corresponding to the first serving cell at the first time instance, according to the actual measurement results (i.e., the first measurement results) of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the first serving cell at the first time instance. Then, the terminal device performs a beam selection procedure (i.e., selecting at most N beams according to the actual measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set and the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set, where N is a positive integer and is configured by the network device), and combines the beam measurement results of the selected beams to obtain the cell level measurement results (i.e., the second measurement results) of the first serving cell at the first time instance. Wherein the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams that can be actually measured by the terminal device (i.e., the network device will send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the first beam set), and the beams indicated by the third beam set are beams that cannot be actually measured by the terminal device (i.e., the network device will not send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the third beam set). The first serving cell is any one of the one or more serving cells of the terminal device.

[0246] In yet another implementation, the inference of the measurement results of a cell can be applied to scenarios of RRM or layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results inference. For example, the first function is used to infer the measurement results of one or more serving cells, and the inference of the measurement results is used for a layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results prediction procedure. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the predicted measurement results of the cell level measurement results corresponding to the first serving cell at one or more second time instances (i.e., the second measurement results), according to the cell level measurement results corresponding to the first serving cell at the first time instance (or at the plurality of historical time instances) (i.e., the first measurement results). Wherein the cell level measurement results corresponding to the first serving cell at the first time instance (or at the plurality of historical time instances) can be cell level measurement results obtained according to an actual measurement procedure (i.e., without any AI inference process) or cell level measurement results obtained according to an AI inference process. The first serving cell is any one of the one or more serving cells of the terminal device.

[0247] In yet another implementation, the inference of the measurement results of a cell can be applied to the scenario of RRM or layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results inference. For example, the first function is used to infer the measurement results of one or more neighbor cells, and the inference of the measurement results is used for a layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results prediction process. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set corresponding to the first neighbor cell at the first time instance, according to the actual measurement results (i.e., the first measurement results) of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the first neighbor cell at the first time instance. Then, the terminal device performs a beam selection process (i.e., selecting at most N beams according to the actual measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set and the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set, where N is a positive integer and is configured by the network device), and combines the beam measurement results of the selected beams to obtain the cell level measurement results (i.e., the second measurement results) of the first neighbor cell at the first time instance. Wherein the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams that the terminal device can actually measure (i.e., the network device will send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the first beam set), and the beams indicated by the third beam set are beams that the terminal device cannot actually measure (i.e., the network device will not send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the third beam set). The first neighbor cell is any one of the one or more neighbor cells of the terminal device.

[0248] In yet another implementation, the inference of the measurement results of a cell can be applied to the scenario of RRM or layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results inference. For example, the first function is used to infer the measurement results of one or more neighbor cells, and the inference of the measurement results is used for a layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results prediction process. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers to obtain the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set corresponding to the first neighbor cell at the first time instance, according to the actual measurement results (i.e., the first measurement results) of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the first neighbor cell at the first time instance. Then, the terminal device performs a beam selection process (i.e., selecting at most N beams according to the actual measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set and the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set, where N is a positive integer and is configured by the network device), and combines the beam measurement results of the selected beams to obtain the cell level measurement results (i.e., the second measurement results) of the first neighbor cell at the first time instance. Wherein the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams that the terminal device can actually measure (i.e., the network device will send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the first beam set), and the beams indicated by the third beam set are beams that the terminal device cannot actually measure (i.e., the network device will not send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the third beam set). The first neighbor cell is any one of the one or more neighbor cells of the terminal device.

[0249] In yet another implementation, the inference of the measurement results of the cells can be applied to the scenario of RRM or layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results inference. For example, the first function is used to infer the measurement results of one or more serving cells and one or more neighbor cells, and the inference of the measurement results is used for a layer 3 measurement function related cell level measurement results prediction process. When the first condition is met, the terminal device infers the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set corresponding to the first cell at the first time point according to the actual measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set corresponding to the first cell at the first time point (i.e., the first measurement results). Then, the terminal device performs a beam selection process (i.e., selecting at most N beams according to the actual measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set and the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set, where N is a positive integer and is configured by the network device), and obtains the cell level measurement results of the first cell at the first time point (i.e., the second measurement results) by combining the beam measurement results of the selected beams.

Then, the terminal device performs a beam selection process (i.e., selecting at most N beams according to the actual measurement results of the beams indicated by the first beam set and the predicted measurement results of the beams indicated by the third beam set, where N is a positive integer and is configured by the network device), and obtains the cell level measurement results of the first cell at the first time point (i.e., the second measurement results) by combining the beam measurement results of the selected beams. Wherein, the beams indicated by the first beam set are beams that can be actually measured by the terminal device (i.e., the network device will send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the first beam set), and the beams indicated by the third beam set are beams that cannot be actually measured by the terminal device (i.e., the network device will not send the reference signals corresponding to the beams indicated by the third beam set). The first cell is any one of the one or more serving cells and the one or more neighbor cells.

The method of FIG. 4 can be performed by a terminal device, for example, the terminal device 120 of FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the method of FIG. 4 can be performed by the terminal device and the network device interactively. For example, in a case that the configuration of the first condition association is configured by the network device, the method of FIG. 4 can be performed by the terminal device and the network device interactively. Or, in a case that the terminal device needs to send the first capability information to the network device, the method of FIG. 4 can be performed by the terminal device and the network device interactively.

[0253] For ease of understanding, the network device mentioned in embodiments of the present disclosure is introduced first.

[0254] In some embodiments, the network device mentioned in embodiments of the present disclosure is an access network device, for example, the access network device 110 of FIG. 1.

[0255] In some embodiments, the network device mentioned in embodiments of the present disclosure is a core network device (or a network element in the core network). Exemplarily, the core network device can include one of the following: a location management function (LMF) network element, a network slice selection function (NSSF) network element, an authentication server function (AUSF) network element, a unified data management (UDM) network element, an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element, a session management function (SMF) network element, a policy control function (PCF) network element, a user plane function (UPF) network element, a sensing function (SF) network element, a network data analytics function (NWDAF) network element, and an AI function management entity.

[0256] In some embodiments, the network device mentioned in embodiments of the present disclosure is an operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) device.

[0257] The flow of the method shown in FIG. 4 is introduced as follows.

[0258] The method shown in FIG. 4 includes step S410. In step S410, when the first condition is met, the terminal device performs inference of the first function; and / or, when the first condition is not met, the terminal device does not perform or stops performing inference of the first function.

[0259] For related descriptions of the first condition and the first function, please refer to the foregoing description, which will not be repeated here for brevity.

[0260] In some embodiments, in the case where the terminal device does not perform or stops performing inference of the first function when the first condition is not met, the terminal device can fall back to obtaining the measurement result of the cell (such as the beam-level measurement result of the cell and / or the cell-level measurement result of the cell) using the actual measurement process.

[0261] As an implementation manner, in the case where the network device is configured with a reference beam (or a beam corresponding to a reference signal), the terminal device can perform measurement by using the reference beam configured by the network device.

[0262] As another implementation manner, in the case where the network device is not configured with a reference beam, the terminal device can request the network device to configure a reference beam or re-receive the reference beam configured by the network device, and perform measurement based on the reference beam configured by the network device.

[0263] In some embodiments, the terminal device can report a capability to the network device to indicate whether the terminal device supports the capability of performing inference of the first function based on the first condition. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the method shown in FIG. 4 can include step S402, in which the terminal device sends first capability information to the network device. The first capability information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports performing inference of the first function based on the first condition. Taking an example in which the first function is used to infer a measurement result of a cell, the first capability information can be used to indicate whether the terminal device supports inferring the measurement result of the cell based on the first condition.

[0264] In some embodiments, whether the terminal device supports the inference of the first function based on the first condition can be understood as whether the terminal device is capable of performing the inference of the first function depending on whether the first condition is met. For example, when the first condition is met, the terminal device performs the inference of the first function; when the first condition is not met, the terminal device does not perform or stops performing the inference of the first function. Taking an example in which the first function is used to infer a measurement result of a cell, whether the terminal device supports the inference of the first function based on the first condition can be understood as whether the terminal device is capable of performing the inference of the measurement result of the cell depending on whether the first condition is met. For example, when the first condition is met, the terminal device performs the inference of the measurement result of the cell; when the first condition is not met, the terminal device does not perform or stops performing the inference of the measurement result of the cell.

[0265] As an implementation form, if the terminal device supports the inference of the first function based on the first condition, the terminal device can send, to the network device, first capability information with a first value, where the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the inference of the first function based on the first condition. If the terminal device does not support the inference of the first function based on the first condition, the terminal device can send, to the network device, the first capability information with a second value, where the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not support the inference of the first function based on the first condition. Illustratively, when the first capability information has the first value, the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the inference of the first function based on the first condition. As an example, when the first value is ‘1’, the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the inference of the first function based on the first condition. As another example, when the second value is ‘0’, the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not support the inference of the first function based on the first condition. As another example, when the first value is ‘0’, the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the inference of the first function based on the first condition. As another example, when the second value is ‘1’, the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not support the inference of the first function based on the first condition.

[0266] In some embodiments, the first capability information is indicated according to one or more of the following granularities: frequency range (FR), carrier (or carrier component (CC)), band, band combination.

[0267] In some embodiments, the first capability information is indicated according to one granularity.

[0268] As an implementation form, the first capability information is indicated in FR granularity. For example, it is indicated for FR1, FR2-1, and FR2-2 respectively whether the corresponding FR supports the inference of performing the first function based on the first condition.

[0269] As another implementation form, the first capability information is indicated in carrier granularity.

[0270] As yet another implementation form, the first capability information is indicated in frequency band granularity.

[0271] As yet another implementation form, the first capability information is indicated in frequency band combination granularity.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first capability information is indicated in multiple granularities.

[0273] As an implementation form, the first capability information is indicated in frequency band and frequency band combination granularities.

[0274] As another implementation form, the first capability information is indicated in carrier and frequency band granularities.

[0275] As yet another implementation form, the first capability information is indicated in carrier, frequency band, and frequency band combination granularities.

[0276] As yet another implementation form, the first capability information is first distinguished in FR granularity, and then further distinguished in one or more of carrier, frequency band, and frequency band combination granularities under each FR. For example, the first capability information is indicated in FR and carrier granularities. For another example, the first capability information is indicated in FR and frequency band granularities. For yet another example, the first capability information is indicated in FR and frequency band combination granularities. For yet another example, the first capability information is indicated in FR, frequency band, and frequency band combination granularities. For yet another example, the first capability information is indicated in FR, carrier, and frequency band granularities. For yet another example, the first capability information is indicated in FR, carrier, frequency band, and frequency band combination granularities.
