[0040] This disclosure provides embodiments of a communication method, a communication device, a communication system, and a storage medium.

[0041] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a communication method executed by a first network device, the method comprising:

[0042] Send first information to the terminal; wherein the first information is used to configure at least one of a first identifier of one or more first cells and first configuration information, the first cell is a non-serving cell of the terminal, the first identifier is used to indicate at least one of a data classification category and a first condition corresponding to a first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting, and the first configuration information is the configuration information corresponding to the first reference signal resource.

[0043] In the above embodiments, the first network device configures a first identifier and / or first configuration information of a non-serving cell to the terminal. The first identifier indicates at least one of a data classification category and a first condition corresponding to a first reference signal resource supported by the first cell. The data classification category may be related to the first reference signal resource (e.g., the data classification category may include the classification category corresponding to the measurement data of the first reference signal resource). The first configuration information may be the configuration information corresponding to the first reference signal resource. Therefore, the first network device configures relevant information about the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell to the terminal. The measurement data of the first reference signal resource can be used to implement the terminal's AI function, which is implemented by the terminal based on an AI model. After the terminal determines the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell based on the configuration of the first network device, it can perform measurement and reporting management of the non-serving cell based on the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell. This increases the probability of measurement and reporting and the amount of reported content of the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function". As a result, the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function" is more likely to be identified as the target cell. Optionally, when the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function" is identified as the target cell, after the terminal switches to the target cell, since the first reference signal resource in the target cell supports the implementation of terminal AI function, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model. This first AI model can be the AI ​​model used by the terminal when implementing AI function in the serving cell, thereby ensuring the continuity of terminal AI model use during cell handover and improving terminal communication performance. Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the non-serving cell is the target cell, the terminal can manage the AI ​​model accordingly based on the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the target cell. For example, if the first reference signal resource in the target cell supports the implementation of the terminal's AI function, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model, and can continue to use the first AI model after switching to the target cell. If the first reference signal resource in the target cell does not support the implementation of the terminal's AI function, the terminal can switch the first AI model to the second AI model in advance before switching to the target cell. The second AI model is the AI ​​model supported by the first reference signal resource in the target cell. After switching to the target cell, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model again, but can directly use the second AI model. This also ensures the continuity of the terminal's AI model during cell handover and improves the terminal's communication performance.

[0044] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0045] Measurement configuration information of the first reference signal resource;

[0073] In the above embodiments, when the first cell includes the second cell or the cell indicated by PCI, it indicates that the first cell is the target cell of the terminal.

[0088] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information includes Radio Resource Control (RRC) information, or the first information includes first indication information, which is used to indicate a Transmission Configuration Indication State ID (TCI) corresponding to a Cell Identifier (PCI).

[0089] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first cell includes candidate cells or neighboring cells, and the first information is used to configure at least one of the first identifier and first configuration information of one or more first cells.

[0090] In the above embodiments, when the first cell includes candidate cells or neighboring cells, the terminal usually needs to measure the candidate cells or neighboring cells and send the measurement results of the candidate cells or neighboring cells. Therefore, the first network device can configure first configuration information to the terminal so that the terminal can perform at least one of the following based on the first configuration information: measuring the candidate cells or neighboring cells and sending the measurement results, to ensure that the terminal can successfully perform the measurement and send the measurement results.

[0091] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first cell includes the candidate cell, and the first configuration information is used to configure at least one of Layer 1 / Layer 2 triggering mobility LTM measurement and measurement result transmission;

[0092] The first configuration information is also used to configure at least one of the following:

[0093] The terminal sends the measurement results of a first number of candidate cells;

[0094] The terminal sends the measurement results of a second number of beams to each of the first number of candidate cells.

[0095] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, when the first cell includes the candidate cell, the plurality of first cells includes at least one of one or more third cells and one or more fourth cells, wherein the third cell satisfies the second condition and the fourth cell does not satisfy the second condition;

[0096] The second condition includes at least one of the following: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting includes the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal supports receiving; the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting includes the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model.

[0097] The second quantity corresponding to the third cell is greater than the second quantity corresponding to the fourth cell.

[0098] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first cell includes the neighboring cells, and the first configuration information is used to configure at least one of layer 3L3 measurement and measurement result transmission;

[0099] The first configuration information is also used to configure the terminal to send measurement results of at least one neighboring cell.

[0100] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, when the first cell includes the neighboring cell, the plurality of first cells includes at least one of one or more fifth cells and one or more sixth cells, wherein the fifth cell satisfies the second condition and the sixth cell does not satisfy the second condition;

[0101] The second condition includes at least one of the following: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting includes the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal supports receiving; the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting includes the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model.

[0102] The cell offset value of the fifth cell is greater than that of the sixth cell.

[0103] In the above embodiments, it is explained how the first network device configures the first identifier through the first information, enabling the first network device to successfully configure the first identifier to the terminal. It is also explained what the first configuration information can configure, and that the first configuration information can also configure the second quantity corresponding to the third cell to be greater than the second quantity corresponding to the fourth cell, or the first configuration information can also configure the cell offset value of the fifth cell to be greater than the cell offset value of the sixth cell. Optionally, the third cell satisfying the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the third cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model; the fourth cell not satisfying the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the third cell, the terminal cannot continue to use the first AI model. Therefore, by making the second quantity corresponding to the third cell greater than the second quantity corresponding to the fourth cell, the terminal can report more content for the third cell than for the fourth cell, thus increasing the probability that the first network device will subsequently identify the third cell as the target cell. Optionally, when the third cell is identified as the target cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model after switching to the target cell, ensuring the continuity of the terminal's AI model use during cell handover and improving terminal communication performance. Optionally, the fifth cell satisfying the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the fifth cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model. The sixth cell not satisfying the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the fifth cell, the terminal cannot continue to use the first AI model. Therefore, by making the cell offset value of the fifth cell greater than that of the sixth cell, the probability of the terminal reporting measurements to the fifth cell can be increased. This increases the probability that the first network device will subsequently identify the fifth cell as the target cell. Optionally, when the fifth cell is identified as the target cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model after switching to the target cell, ensuring the continuity of the terminal's AI model usage during cell handover and improving terminal communication performance.

[0104] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0105] Send second information to one or more second network devices, the second network devices being the network devices corresponding to the first cell, the second information being used to indicate at least one of the following: a first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal supports receiving, and a first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model.

[0106] The third information sent by the second network device is received, wherein the third information is used to indicate the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports for transmission;

[0107] The terminal receives a fourth message sent by the second network device, the fourth message being used to indicate a first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal and the first cell simultaneously support for transmission.

[0108] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method includes:

[0109] Receive the second information sent by the terminal.

[0110] In the above embodiments, the first network device and the second network device corresponding to the first cell will interact with at least one of the following: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal, the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model, and the first condition supported by the first cell. This allows the first and second network devices to fully understand the support status of each first cell for the first condition. For example, they can understand at least one of the following: the first condition supported by the first cell, which first cells support the first condition including the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal, which first cells support the first condition including the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model, which first cells support the first condition not including the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal, and which first cells support the first condition not including the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model. Therefore, when the first network device configures at least one of the first identifiers and first configuration information of one or more first cells to the terminal, it can perform targeted configuration for different first cells based on their support status for the first condition, improving the configuration accuracy of the first network device.

[0396] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the communication system includes a terminal, a first network device, a second network device, and a third network device. In some embodiments, the network devices (i.e., the first network device, the second network device, and the third network device) may include at least one of an access network device and a core network device.

[0399] In some embodiments, the technical solutions of this disclosure can be applied to the Open RAN architecture. In this case, the interfaces between or within access network devices involved in the embodiments of this disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of Open RAN. The processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented by software or programs.

[0400] In some embodiments, the access network device may be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). The CU may also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can separate the protocol layer of the access network device. Some of the protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while the remaining part or all of the protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU and centrally controlled by the CU. However, this is not the only possibility.

As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0403] The following embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1, or to some of the main bodies, but are not limited thereto. The main bodies shown in FIG1 are illustrative. The communication system may include all or some of the main bodies in FIG1, or may include other main bodies outside of FIG1. ​​The number and form of each main body are arbitrary. The connection relationship between the main bodies is illustrative. The main bodies may not be connected or may be connected. The connection can be in any way, it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, it can be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0405] Optionally, when terminals and network devices transmit and receive signals based on beams, beam management is typically required. For example, beam quality needs to be determined to use beams with better quality for transmission and reception, thereby ensuring communication performance. Optionally, in some embodiments, artificial intelligence (AI) models can be used to determine beam prediction results when determining beam quality. In some embodiments, the method of using an AI model to determine beam prediction results may include: setting two sets of reference signal resources, such as set A and set B, where each set can include at least one reference signal resource, and each reference signal resource can correspond to one transmission beam. Optionally, beam measurement data of reference signal resource set B can be input into the AI ​​model so that the AI ​​model outputs beam prediction results of reference signal resource set A; and / or, beam measurement data of reference signal resource set B at at least a first time point can be input into the AI ​​model so that the AI ​​model outputs beam prediction results of reference signal resource set A at at least a second time point, wherein the first time point is earlier than the second time point.

[0406] In some embodiments, the beam measurement data described above may include at least one of the following: Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP) of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set B, Layer 1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (L1-SINR) of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set B, beams corresponding to reference signal resources in reference signal resource set B, and beam pairs corresponding to reference signal resources in reference signal resource set B. Optionally, the beam prediction results described above may include at least one of the following: L1-RSRP of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A, L1-SINR of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A, and one or more optimal beam IDs in reference signal resource set A. Optionally, the optimal beam ID may be understood as, for example, the resource ID corresponding to the reference signal resource with the highest beam quality.

[0407] Optionally, the relationship between the aforementioned reference signal resource set A and reference signal resource set B can include any of the following:

[0408] The first type is that the reference signal resource set B is a subset of the reference signal resource set A.

[0409] For example, reference signal resource set A includes 32 reference signal resources, and reference signal resource set B may include N reference signal resources from these 32 reference signal resources, where N < 32, for example, N = 8.

[0410] Alternatively, if reference signal resource set A includes 32 reference signal resources, each corresponding to a transmit beam, and the terminal has 4 receive beam directions, then reference signal resource set A includes 32×4 beam pairs, while reference signal resource set B may include 32 beam pairs from the 32×4 beam pairs, or 16 beam pairs, etc.

[0411] The second type is where reference signal resource set B is a wide beam and reference signal resource set A is a narrow beam.

[0412] Optionally, the beam corresponding to reference signal resource set B and the beam corresponding to reference signal resource set A can cover the same beam direction and the same beam angle, and the number of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set B is less than the number of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A.

[0413] For example, reference signal resource set A may include 32 reference signal resources, and the beams corresponding to these 32 resources cover a 120-degree direction. Reference signal resource set B may include N reference signal resources, where N < 32, for example, N = 8. The coverage direction and angle of the beams corresponding to the N reference signal resources are the same as those of the beams corresponding to the 32 reference signal resources. Optionally, the beam corresponding to one reference signal resource in reference signal resource set B can simultaneously cover the beams corresponding to multiple reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A. Optionally, multiple reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A can be related to one reference signal resource in reference signal resource set B that simultaneously covers the beams corresponding to these multiple reference signal resources as quasi-co-location type D (QCL Type D).

[0414] The third type is where reference signal resource set A is the same as reference signal resource set B.

[0415] Optionally, in some embodiments, the aforementioned AI model can be deployed on a terminal, which can train, apply, infer, and perform performance testing on the AI ​​model. Optionally, the required input data differs for different AI models. For example, taking "reference signal resource set B is a subset of reference signal resource set A" as an example, for AI model #1 on the terminal, the required input data might be: beam measurement data of reference signal resource set B, which consists of eight resource IDs (resource IDs 1, 5, 9, 13...) in reference signal resource set A; for AI model #2 on the terminal, the required input data might be: beam measurement data of reference signal resource set B, which consists of eight resource IDs (resource IDs 1, 2, 3, 4...) in reference signal resource set A. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the reference signal resource set B and reference signal resource set A supported by different cells are also different. For example, cell #1 supports transmitting reference signal resource set B, which includes reference signal resources with resource IDs 1, 5, 9, 13, ..., from reference signal resource set A. Cell #2 supports transmitting reference signal resource set B, which includes reference signal resources with resource IDs 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., from reference signal resource set A, which also includes reference signal resources with resource IDs 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., from reference signal resource set A. Therefore, in some embodiments, since different cells support transmitting different reference signal resource sets B and A, the AI ​​models that the terminal can use when accessing different cells will also be different.

[0416] Optionally, in some embodiments, a correspondence between associated ID and additional condition can be introduced. Optionally, the additional condition can be equivalent to "the support conditions for reference signal resource set B and / or reference signal resource set A". Optionally, different cells can support different additional conditions. The additional condition supported by a cell can refer to the reference signal resource set B and / or reference signal resource set A that the cell supports transmitting. In other words, the additional condition supported by a cell can refer to the transmission conditions of the cell for reference signal resource set B and / or reference signal resource set A. Optionally, associated ID can be used to indicate the additional conditions of different cells.

[0417] In some embodiments, the network device can indicate to the terminal the additional conditions supported by at least one candidate cell or at least one neighboring cell, so that the terminal can perform measurement reporting management on the candidate cell or neighboring cell based on the additional conditions supported by the candidate cell or neighboring cell. This increases the probability of measurement reporting and the amount of information reported by the candidate cell or neighboring cell whose "supported additional conditions are the same as the additional conditions of the serving cell". As a result, the candidate cell or neighboring cell whose "supported additional conditions are the same as the additional conditions of the serving cell" is more likely to be identified as the target cell. When the terminal hands over to the target cell, since the additional conditions supported by the target cell are the same as those supported by the serving cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model. This first AI model can be the AI ​​model used by the terminal in the serving cell, thereby ensuring the continuity of the terminal's AI model during cell handover and guaranteeing the terminal's communication performance.

[0418] In some embodiments, the network device can indicate to the terminal the additional conditions supported by the target cell, so that the terminal can manage the AI ​​model accordingly based on the additional conditions supported by the target cell. For example, if the additional conditions of the target cell are the same as those of the serving cell, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model and can continue to use the first AI model after switching to the target cell. If the additional conditions of the target cell are different from those of the serving cell, the terminal can switch the first AI model to the second AI model in advance before switching to the target cell. The second AI model is the AI ​​model corresponding to the additional conditions of the target cell. After switching to the target cell, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model again, but can directly use the second AI model. This also ensures the continuity of the terminal's AI model usage during cell handover and guarantees the terminal's communication performance.

[0419] However, how network devices configure additional conditions for non-serving cells (such as candidate cells, neighboring cells, and target cells) to terminals is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0420] Figure 2A is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2A, this embodiment of the disclosure relates to a communication method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0421] Step 2101: The terminal sends the second information to the first network device.

[0423] Optionally, the second information may be used to indicate at least one of the following: a first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal supports receiving, or a first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model.

[0424] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first AI model may refer to the AI ​​model used by the terminal in the serving cell; alternatively, the first AI model may refer to the AI ​​model currently used by the terminal.

[0425] Optionally, the first reference signal resource may include reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A and / or reference signal resource set B. Detailed descriptions of "reference signal resource set A and reference signal resource set B" can be found in the description preceding the embodiment shown in Figure 2A. Optionally, measurement data (such as beam measurement data) of reference signal resource set B can be used as input to an AI model to cause the AI ​​model to output a prediction result (such as a beam measurement result) of reference signal resource set A; and / or, measurement data of reference signal resource set B at at least one first time point can be used as input to an AI model to cause the AI ​​model to output a prediction result of reference signal resource set A at least one second time point, where the first time point is earlier than the second time point. Detailed descriptions of "beam measurement data and beam measurement results" can be found in the description preceding the embodiment shown in Figure 2A.

[0426] Optionally, the first condition may include at least one of the following:

[0439] Optionally, the above-mentioned "transmission beam angle arrangement order" may include: as the resource ID is larger, the angle of the beam relative to a certain reference direction is larger, or as the resource ID is larger, the angle of the beam relative to a certain reference direction is smaller.

[0440] Optionally, the first condition may be referred to as an additional condition. For a detailed description of the additional condition, please refer to the description preceding the embodiment shown in Figure 2A.

[0441] Optionally, one or more AI models can be deployed on the terminal. These AI models can implement AI functions, which may include at least one of the following: AI model training, AI model derivation, and AI model performance monitoring. In other embodiments, the AI ​​functions may also include beam prediction (i.e., determining the beam prediction result using the aforementioned AI model), AI localization, etc. Optionally, when the AI ​​functions include beam prediction and AI localization, one AI function can correspond to one or more AI models. For example, if the AI ​​function supports beam prediction, it can correspond to multiple AI models that support beam prediction with different additional conditions. That is, all of these multiple AI models can implement beam prediction, but the additional conditions supported by these multiple AI models can be different. For a detailed description of "additional condition," please refer to the description preceding the embodiment shown in Figure 2A.

[0442] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal may send the second information to the first network device based on a request from the first network device, or the terminal may independently determine to send the second information to the first network device.

[0443] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the second information indicates the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal and / or the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model, the second information may directly include at least one of the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal and the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model. In some embodiments, the second information may also include at least one of the first identifier of the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal and the first identifier of the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model. Optionally, the first identifier has a correspondence with the first condition, and the first identifier can be used to indicate the first condition. The first identifier may be the "associated ID" described earlier in the embodiment of FIG2A.

[0444] Step 2102: The first network device and the second network device interact to determine the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports for transmission.

[0445] Optionally, the second network device may include the network device corresponding to the first cell. The first cell may be a non-serving cell of the terminal. Optionally, the first cell may include the terminal's candidate cell, neighboring cell, target cell, or the cell indicated by the Physical Cell Identifier (PCI).

[0454] The difference in transmission beam angle between two adjacent reference signal resources in the reference signal resource set B supported by the first cell;

[0455] The total number of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A that the first cell supports for transmission;

[0456] The total number of reference signal resources in reference signal resource set B that the first cell supports for transmission;

[0457] The number of reference signal resource sets B that the first cell supports transmitting at the first moment;

[0458] The number of reference signal resources A that the first cell supports transmitting at the second time point.

[0459] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first network device and the second network device interact regarding the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the first cell, the interaction may include at least one of the following steps:

[0460] The first network device sends second information to one or more second network devices;

[0461] The second network device sends a third message to the first network device;

[0462] The second network device sends a fourth message to the first network device;

[0463] The second network device sends a second indication message to the first network device. This second indication message can be used to indicate that the first cell corresponding to the second network device meets the third, fourth, or fifth condition.

[0464] Optionally, the third information can be used to indicate the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting. Optionally, the third information may include at least one of the following: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting, and the first identifier of the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting.

[0465] Optionally, the fourth information is used to indicate the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal and the first cell simultaneously support to transmit. For example, the fourth information may include at least one of the following: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal and the first cell simultaneously support to transmit, and the first identifier of the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal and the first cell simultaneously support to transmit.

[0466] Optionally, the third condition mentioned above may include: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the first cell for transmission includes the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model; when the first cell satisfies the third condition, it means that the terminal can continue to use the first AI model when connected to the first cell. Optionally, the fourth condition mentioned above may include at least one of the following: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the first cell for transmission includes the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal for reception; the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the first cell for transmission does not include the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model; when the first cell satisfies the fourth condition, it means that the terminal cannot continue to use the first AI model when connected to the first cell, but can use the second AI model, which can be an AI model supported by the terminal. Optionally, the second AI model may satisfy: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the second cell for transmission includes the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the second AI model. Optionally, the fifth condition mentioned above may include: the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell supports transmitting does not include the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal supports receiving; when the first cell meets the fifth condition, it means that the terminal cannot continue to use the AI ​​model supported by the terminal when it connects to the first cell.

[0467] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first network device may send second information to the second network device. After receiving the second information, the second network device may send third information, fourth information, or second indication information to the first network device. Alternatively, the first network device may send the second information to the second network device. After receiving the second information, if the second network device determines that the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the first cell does not include the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the terminal, the second network device may send third information to the terminal. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the second network device may directly send the third information to the first network device, without needing to receive the second information sent by the first network device first.

[0468] Step 2103: The first network device sends the first information to the terminal.

[0469] Optionally, the first information can be used to configure at least one of the first identifier and first configuration information of one or more first cells. Optionally, the first identifier can be used to indicate at least one of the data classification category and the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the first cell. In some embodiments, the data classification category may include the classification category corresponding to the measurement data or prediction results (such as the aforementioned beam prediction results) of the first reference signal resource. Optionally, when the first identifiers of different first cells are the same, it can be considered that the first conditions corresponding to the first reference signal resources supported by the first cell are the same. For a detailed description of the "first condition", please refer to the foregoing steps. Optionally, the prediction result can also be referred to as prediction data.

[0470] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first information configures the first identifier of one or more first cells, the first information may indicate at least one of the following:

[0471] One or more community identifiers for the first community;

[0472] One or more first identifiers corresponding to the first cell;

[0473] A first condition corresponding to a first reference signal resource that one or more first cells support for transmission;

[0474] One or more second identifiers corresponding to the first cell;

[0475] Can the terminal continue to use the first AI model when it connects to the first cell?

[0476] The first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell and the terminal simultaneously support for transmission;

[0477] The first identifier of the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the first cell and the terminal simultaneously support to transmit.

[0478] Optionally, the aforementioned second identifier can be used to indicate at least one of the AI ​​function ID and AI model ID. This second identifier can correspond to a first identifier. Optionally, different first cells with the same second identifier and the same first identifier support the same first condition for transmitting first reference signal resources; different first cells with the same second identifier and different first identifiers support different first conditions for transmitting first reference signal resources; and different first cells with different second identifiers and the same first identifier cannot determine whether the first conditions corresponding to their supported first reference signal resources are the same.

[0479] Optionally, when the first information indicates a first identifier corresponding to one or more first cells, in some embodiments, the first information may indicate one or more first identifiers and cell identifiers of one or more first cells corresponding to each first identifier; in some embodiments, the first information may indicate cell identifiers of one or more first cells and one or more first identifiers corresponding to each first cell.

[0480] Optionally, in some embodiments, when there is no correspondence between the first identifier and the first condition, or when the terminal is unaware of the correspondence, the first information may directly indicate the first condition supported by one or more first cells. Optionally, when the first information indicates the first condition supported by one or more first cells, in some embodiments, the first information may indicate one or more first conditions, and the cell identifier of one or more first cells that support the transmission of the first reference signal resource corresponding to each first condition; in some embodiments, the first information may indicate the cell identifier of one or more first cells, and the one or more first conditions corresponding to the first reference signal resource that each first cell supports the transmission of.

[0481] In some embodiments, the first identifier and cell identifier mentioned above may also be included in the first configuration information. Optionally, the first configuration information may be configuration information corresponding to the first reference signal resource. Optionally, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: measurement configuration information of the first reference signal resource, and reporting configuration information of the first reference signal resource.

[0482] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first cell includes candidate cells, the first configuration information can be used to configure at least one of Layer 1 / Layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) measurement and measurement result transmission; optionally, the first configuration information can also be used to configure at least one of the following:

[0483] The terminal sends the measurement results of the first number of candidate cells;

[0484] The terminal transmits the measurement results of a second number of beams for each of the first number of candidate cells.

[0485] Optionally, the measurement result may include at least one of the following: the resource ID of the reference signal resource, the L1-RSRP of the beam corresponding to the reference signal resource, and the L1-SINR of the beam corresponding to the reference signal resource.

[0486] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first cell includes candidate cells, the plurality of first cells may include at least one of one or more third cells and one or more fourth cells. Optionally, the third cell satisfies the second condition, while the fourth cell does not satisfy the second condition. The second number corresponding to the third cell is greater than the second number corresponding to the fourth cell. Optionally, the second condition may include at least one of the following:

[0487] The first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the candidate cell supports transmitting includes the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal supports receiving;

[0488] The first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the candidate cell includes the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model.

[0489] As can be seen from the above, the fact that the third cell meets the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the third cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model or other models supported by the terminal. The fact that the fourth cell does not meet the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the third cell, the terminal cannot continue to use the first AI model or any model supported by the terminal. Therefore, by making the second quantity corresponding to the third cell greater than the second quantity corresponding to the fourth cell, the terminal can report more content for the third cell than for the fourth cell. As a result, the probability that the first network device will subsequently identify the third cell as the target cell is higher. Optionally, when the third cell is identified as the target cell, after the terminal switches to the target cell, it can continue to use the first AI model or other models supported by the terminal, which ensures the continuity of the terminal's AI model use during cell switching and improves the terminal's communication performance.

[0490] Alternatively, the aforementioned “switching” may also be referred to as handover, mobility, point switching, or point selection, etc., and this disclosure does not specifically limit it in this way.

[0491] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first cell includes neighboring cells, the first configuration information can be used to configure at least one of Layer 3 (L3) measurement and measurement result transmission; optionally, the first configuration information can also be used to configure the terminal to report measurement results of at least one neighboring cell. Optionally, the first configuration information can also be used to configure the terminal not to report measurement results based on beam; optionally, the terminal reports measurement results at the "cell" granularity, not at the "beam" granularity.

[0492] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first cell includes neighboring cells, the plurality of first cells may include at least one of one or more fifth cells and one or more sixth cells. Optionally, the fifth cell satisfies the second condition, while the sixth cell does not satisfy the second condition. The cell offset value of the fifth cell is greater than the cell offset value of the sixth cell. Optionally, in some embodiments, the second condition may include at least one of the following:

[0493] The first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the neighboring cell supports transmitting includes the first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource that the terminal supports receiving;

[0494] The first condition corresponding to the first reference signal resource supported by the neighboring cell includes the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the first AI model.

[0495] Optionally, the aforementioned cell specific offset can be used to trigger measurement reporting from neighboring cells. Different neighboring cells may correspond to the same or different cell specific offset values. In some embodiments, the triggering condition for neighboring cell measurement reporting may include, for example: neighboring cell beam measurement data + neighboring cell cell specific offset value > serving cell beam measurement data + serving cell cell specific offset value + first threshold. For a detailed description of "beam measurement data", please refer to the foregoing description.

[0496] As can be seen from the above, the fifth cell satisfying the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the fifth cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model or other models supported by the terminal. The sixth cell not satisfying the second condition means that when the terminal connects to the fifth cell, the terminal cannot continue to use the first AI model or any model supported by the terminal. Therefore, by making the cell offset value of the fifth cell greater than that of the sixth cell, the probability of the terminal reporting measurements of the fifth cell can be increased, thus increasing the probability that the first network device will subsequently identify the fifth cell as the target cell. Optionally, when the first neighboring cell is identified as the target cell, after the terminal switches to the target cell, it can continue to use the first AI model or other models supported by the terminal, thus ensuring the continuity of the terminal's AI model usage during cell handover.

[0497] Step 2104: The terminal measures the first cell and reports the measurement results of the first cell.

[0498] Optionally, the terminal may measure the first cell based on the first configuration information and report the measurement results of the first cell.

[0499] Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the first information configures the first identifier of the first cell but not the first configuration information, the terminal can determine the first cell (such as a neighboring cell or a candidate cell) that meets the second condition based on the first identifier, and report a large number of beam measurement results for the "first cell that meets the second condition", thereby increasing the reporting content of the "first cell that meets the second condition". Or, in some embodiments, the terminal can determine the first cell that "can continue to use the first AI model or the AI ​​model supported by the terminal when connected to the first cell" based on the first identifier, and report a large number of beam measurement results for the "first cell that can continue to use the first AI model or the AI ​​model supported by the terminal", thereby increasing the reporting content of the "first cell that can continue to use the first AI model or the AI ​​model supported by the terminal". As a result, the first network device is more likely to determine the "first cell that meets the second condition, or the first cell that can continue to use the first AI model or the AI ​​model supported by the terminal" as the target cell. When the terminal switches to the target cell, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model or the AI ​​model supported by the terminal, thus ensuring the continuity of the terminal's AI model usage during cell switching.

[0500] Step 2105: The first network device selects the second cell.

[0501] Optionally, the second cell can be the target cell to which the terminal will switch.

[0502] Optionally, the first network device may select a second cell based on the measurement results of the first cell. For example, in some embodiments, the first network device may first identify one or more first cells with better measurement results, and then identify the first cell among the first cells with better measurement results that meets a third condition as the second cell; or, identify the first cell among the first cells with better measurement results that meets a fourth condition as the second cell; or, identify the first cell among the first cells with better measurement results that meets a fifth condition as the second cell; or, identify the first cell among the first cells with better measurement results that meets a fifth condition as the second cell. For a detailed description of the third, fourth, and fifth conditions, please refer to the steps described above.

[0503] Optionally, the first network device may also directly select the second cell based on whether the first cell meets the third, fourth, or fifth conditions. For example, in some embodiments, the first network device may determine the first cell that meets the third condition from one or more first cells as the second cell, or determine the first cell that meets the fourth condition from one or more first cells as the second cell, or determine the first cell that meets the fifth condition from one or more first cells as the second cell, or determine the first cell that meets the fifth condition from one or more first cells as the second cell.

[0504] Optionally, when the first network device selects a second cell based on whether the first cell meets the third, fourth, and fifth conditions, in some embodiments, the first network device may first determine whether the first cell meets the third, fourth, and fifth conditions based on at least one of the aforementioned second, third, and fourth information, and then select the second cell based on whether the first cell meets the third, fourth, and fifth conditions. In other embodiments, the first network device may directly determine whether the first cell meets the third, fourth, or fifth condition based on the aforementioned second indication information sent by the second network device, and then select the second cell based on whether the first cell meets the third, fourth, and fifth conditions.

[0505] Step 2106: The first network device sends a third instruction message to the third network device.

[0506] Optionally, the third network device can be the network device corresponding to the second cell.

[0507] Optionally, the third indication information can be used to indicate that the terminal will switch to the second cell.

[0508] Optionally, the third instruction information can be used to instruct the second cell to prepare to assist the terminal in using the first AI model or an AI model supported by the terminal.

[0509] Step 2107: The third network device sends the second configuration information to the first network device.

[0510] Optionally, when the second cell meets the third or fourth condition, the third network device sends second configuration information to the first network device. This second configuration information can be used to configure a second reference signal resource for the second cell. This second reference signal resource may be the same as or different from the first reference signal resource; for example, the time-domain and / or frequency-domain positions of the second and first reference signal resources may differ. Optionally, the second and first reference signal resources may correspond to the same or different beam information. In some embodiments, the second and first reference signal resources corresponding to the same beam information means that if the measurement data of the first reference signal resource is the measurement data required as input to an AI model, then the measurement data of the second reference signal resource is also applicable to that AI model.

[0511] Step 2108: The first network device sends the second configuration information to the terminal.

[0512] Step 2109: The first network device sends a handover command to the terminal.

[0513] Optionally, in some embodiments, the handover command may indicate the presence of a second cell.

[0514] Optionally, in some embodiments, the handover command can also be used to configure the first identifier of the second cell. Optionally, the method of configuring the first identifier of the second cell using the handover command is similar to the aforementioned method of "configuring the first identifier of one or more first cells with first information", and will not be described again here.

[0515] Optionally, the switching command may include RRCreconfiguration.

[0516] Step 2110: The first network device sends the fourth, fifth, or sixth instruction information to the terminal.

[0517] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the second cell meets the third condition, the first network device can send a fourth indication message to the terminal, which can be used to instruct the terminal to continue using the first AI model after switching to the second cell.

[0518] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the second cell meets the fourth condition, the first network device can send a fifth indication message to the terminal. This fifth indication message can be used to instruct the terminal to use the second AI model after switching to the second cell. For a detailed description of the second AI model, please refer to the steps described above.

[0519] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the second cell meets the fifth condition, the first network device can send a sixth indication message to the terminal, which can be used to instruct the terminal not to use the AI ​​model after switching to the second cell.

[0520] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, this disclosure does not specifically limit the execution order of steps 2108-2110, which can be arbitrarily interchanged. For example, step 2109 can be executed first, followed by steps 2108 and 2110, or step 2109 can be executed first, followed by steps 2110 and 2108. Optionally, in other embodiments, steps 2108-2110 can also be executed simultaneously. For example, the switching command may include second configuration information and fourth, fifth, or sixth instruction information.

[0521] Step 2111: The terminal switches to the second cell.

[0522] Step 2112: The terminal manages the AI ​​model based on the fourth, fifth, or sixth instruction information.

[0523] Optionally, the terminal may determine to continue using the first AI model based on the fourth instruction information, or the terminal may determine to switch to the second AI model based on the fifth instruction information, or the terminal may determine not to use the AI ​​model based on the sixth instruction information.

[0524] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the terminal determines to switch to the second AI model, the terminal may first determine whether the second AI model is downloaded locally. If the second AI model is not downloaded locally, the terminal can download the second AI model and then switch to the second AI model. Optionally, when the terminal downloads the second AI model, it can do so through a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) method, such as downloading the second AI model from the network via wireless fidelity (WiFi), Bluetooth, etc. Alternatively, the terminal can download the second AI model through a 3GPP method. For example, during the handover to the second cell, the terminal can send a model download request to the third network device. This model download request can be used to request the download of the second AI model and may include at least one of the following: the functionality ID corresponding to the second AI model, the Model ID corresponding to the second AI model, the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the second AI model, and the first identifier of the first condition of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement data required by the second AI model. Afterward, the terminal can receive the second AI model sent by the third network device. Optionally, the model download request may be included in the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) of Msg 3 or Msg A during the process of the terminal randomly accessing a third network device.

[0525] Step 2113: The third network device sends the second reference signal resource based on the second configuration information.

[0526] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal may receive a second reference signal resource sent by a third network device based on the second configuration information, determine the measurement data of the second reference signal resource, and implement AI functions using an AI model (such as a first AI model or a second AI model) based on the measurement data of the second reference signal resource.

[0527] In summary, in the above embodiments, the first network device configures a first identifier and / or first configuration information of a non-serving cell to the terminal. The first identifier indicates at least one of a data classification category and a first condition corresponding to a first reference signal resource supported by the first cell. The data classification category may be related to the first reference signal resource (e.g., the data classification category may include the classification category corresponding to the measurement data of the first reference signal resource). The first configuration information may be the configuration information corresponding to the first reference signal resource. Therefore, the first network device configures relevant information about the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell to the terminal. The measurement data of the first reference signal resource can be used to implement the terminal's AI function, which is implemented by the terminal based on an AI model. After the terminal determines the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell based on the configuration of the first network device, it can perform measurement and reporting management of the non-serving cell based on the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell. This increases the probability of measurement and reporting and the amount of reported content of the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function". As a result, the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function" is more likely to be identified as the target cell. Optionally, when the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function" is identified as the target cell, after the terminal switches to the target cell, since the first reference signal resource in the target cell supports the implementation of terminal AI function, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model. This first AI model can be the AI ​​model used by the terminal when implementing AI function in the serving cell, thereby ensuring the continuity of terminal AI model use during cell handover and improving terminal communication performance. Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the non-serving cell is the target cell, the terminal can manage the AI ​​model accordingly based on the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the target cell. For example, if the first reference signal resource in the target cell supports the implementation of the terminal's AI function, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model, and can continue to use the first AI model after switching to the target cell. If the first reference signal resource in the target cell does not support the implementation of the terminal's AI function, the terminal can switch the first AI model to the second AI model in advance before switching to the target cell. The second AI model is the AI ​​model supported by the first reference signal resource in the target cell. After switching to the target cell, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model again, but can directly use the second AI model. This also ensures the continuity of the terminal's AI model during cell handover and improves the terminal's communication performance.

[0528] The communication method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure may include at least one of steps 2101 to 2113. For example, step 2101 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step 2102 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step 2103 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, and step 2101+S2102 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0529] In this implementation or embodiment, unless there is contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other implementations or other embodiments.

[0535] Optionally, the second cell can be the target cell to which the terminal will switch.

[0536] Optionally, the first network device can directly select the second cell based on whether the first cell meets the third, fourth, and fifth conditions. For example, in some embodiments, the first network device can determine the first cell that meets the third condition from one or more first cells as the second cell, or determine the first cell that meets the fourth condition from one or more first cells as the second cell, or determine the first cell that meets the fifth condition from one or more first cells as the second cell, or determine the first cell that meets the fifth condition from one or more first cells as the second cell. For a detailed description of this part, please refer to the above embodiments.

[0537] Step 2204: The first network device sends a third instruction message to the third network device.

[0538] Step 2205: The third network device sends the second configuration information to the first network device.

[0539] Step 2206: The first network device sends the second configuration information to the terminal.

[0540] For a detailed description of steps 2204-2206, please refer to the above embodiment description.

[0541] Step 2207: The first network device sends the first information to the terminal.

[0542] Optionally, this first information can be used to configure the first identifier of the second cell. For details on how the first information is configured to identify the first identifier of the second cell, please refer to the above embodiments.

[0543] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information may include Radio Resource Control (RRC) information. For example, the first information may include RRC reconfiguration or other RRC information. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first information may include first indication information, which may be used to indicate an indicated TCI state ID. The indicated TCI state ID may indicate an indicated TCI state, and the reference signal of the indicated TCI state may correspond to a cell identifier or a Physical Cell Identifier (PCI). Optionally, the cell identifier or PCI may be the cell identifier of a second cell. Optionally, the aforementioned first indication information may include one of the following: a Medium Access Control Element (MAC CE) or downlink control information (DCI).

[0544] Step 2208: The first network device sends the fourth, fifth, or sixth instruction information to the terminal.

[0545] For a detailed description of step 2208, please refer to the above embodiment.

[0546] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, this disclosure does not specifically limit the execution order of steps 2206-2208, which can be arbitrarily interchanged. For example, step 2207 can be executed first, followed by steps 2206 and 2208, or step 2207 can be executed first, followed by steps 2208 and 2206. Optionally, in other embodiments, steps 2206-2208 can also be executed simultaneously. For example, the first information may include second configuration information and fourth, fifth, or sixth instruction information.

[0547] Step 2209: The terminal switches to the second cell.

[0548] Step 2210: The terminal manages the AI ​​model based on the fourth, fifth, or sixth instruction information.

[0549] Step 2211: The third network device sends the second reference signal resource based on the second configuration information.

[0550] For a detailed description of steps 2209-2211, please refer to the above embodiment description.

[0551] In summary, in the above embodiments, the first network device configures a first identifier and / or first configuration information of a non-serving cell to the terminal. The first identifier indicates a data classification category and / or a first condition. The first condition may include the transmission conditions of the first cell for the first reference signal resource. The data classification category may be related to the first reference signal resource (e.g., the data classification category may include the classification category corresponding to the measurement data of the first reference signal resource). The first configuration information may be the configuration information corresponding to the first reference signal resource. Therefore, the first network device configures relevant information about the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell to the terminal. This first reference signal resource is used to implement the terminal's AI function, which is implemented by the terminal based on an AI model. After the terminal determines the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell based on the configuration of the first network device, it can perform measurement and reporting management of the non-serving cell based on the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the non-serving cell. This increases the probability of measurement and reporting and the amount of reported content of the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function". As a result, the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function" is more likely to be identified as the target cell. Optionally, when the non-serving cell corresponding to the first reference signal resource that "supports the implementation of terminal AI function" is identified as the target cell, after the terminal switches to the target cell, since the first reference signal resource in the target cell supports the implementation of terminal AI function, the terminal can continue to use the first AI model. This first AI model can be the AI ​​model used by the terminal when implementing AI function in the serving cell, thereby ensuring the continuity of terminal AI model use during cell handover and improving terminal communication performance. Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the non-serving cell is the target cell, the terminal can manage the AI ​​model accordingly based on the relevant information of the first reference signal resource in the target cell. For example, if the first reference signal resource in the target cell supports the implementation of the terminal's AI function, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model, and can continue to use the first AI model after switching to the target cell. If the first reference signal resource in the target cell does not support the implementation of the terminal's AI function, the terminal can switch the first AI model to the second AI model in advance before switching to the target cell. The second AI model is the AI ​​model supported by the first reference signal resource in the target cell. After switching to the target cell, the terminal does not need to switch the AI ​​model again, but can directly use the second AI model. This also ensures the continuity of the terminal's AI model during cell handover and improves the terminal's communication performance.

For example, step 2201 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, step 2202 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, step 2203 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, and step 2201+S2202 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0773] The following is an exemplary description of the above method.

[0774] This disclosure proposes a method for configuring additional conditions for candidate cells.

[0775] 1. The terminal receives first information from the network device and determines the configuration information of the first cell based on the first information. The terminal supports AI functions, and the first cell is a non-serving cell of the terminal.

[0776] 1. The first cell includes at least one of the following: candidate cell, target cell, neighboring cell, and cell corresponding to additional PCI.

[0777] II. Based on I, the first piece of information includes at least one of the following:

[0778] 1. At least one first cell ID,

[0779] 2. At least one associated ID.

[0780] • Associated ID corresponds to additional condition

[0781] 3. At least one additional condition

[0782] If there is no correspondence between the associated ID and the additional condition, then directly indicate the additional condition.

[0783] 4. Functionality ID / Model ID

[0784] For example, an associated ID is an ID within a function ID. That is, different function IDs can have the same associated ID, but their corresponding additional conditions may not be the same.

[0785] Third, based on second, the first information includes at least one associated ID (or additional condition, which will be explained using associated ID as an example below), and a list of first cells or at least one first cell supporting each associated ID.

[0786] 1. Furthermore, it can also indicate the functionality ID / model ID.

[0787] IV. Based on II, the first information includes at least one first cell ID, and a list of associated IDs or at least one associated ID supported by each first cell ID.

[0788] Furthermore, it can also indicate the functionality ID / model ID.

[0789] V. Based on any one of 1-4, the serving base station and the base station corresponding to the first cell exchange additional condition and / or the corresponding associated ID information.

[0790] 1. The additional condition and / or the corresponding associated ID can be an additional condition and / or the corresponding associated ID that the first cell terminal supports, as informed by the serving cell; or it can be an additional condition and / or the corresponding associated ID that the first cell supports, as sent by the first cell; or it can be an additional condition and / or the corresponding associated ID that the first cell determines after receiving the additional condition and / or the corresponding associated ID that the first cell supports from the serving cell (if the first cell does not support any of the additional conditions and / or the corresponding associated IDs supported by the terminal, the first cell can report the ones it supports).

[0791] • Through the interaction of the additional condition and / or corresponding associated ID between the serving cell and the first cell,

[0792] If an additional condition and / or corresponding associated ID supported by both the terminal and the first cell are identified, and this additional condition and / or associated ID corresponds to the model the terminal is currently using in the serving cell, then the serving cell is notified. The serving cell then informs the terminal of this first information, allowing the terminal to know that it can continue using the same model after switching to the first cell. The first cell can also prepare corresponding transmissions based on this additional condition and / or associated ID, such as for beam prediction. This means it can prepare to send the corresponding reference signal resource configuration and reference signal. Furthermore, the first cell can also send the corresponding reference signal resource configuration information to the serving cell, which then forwards it to the terminal.

[0793] If an additional condition and / or corresponding associated ID supported by both the terminal and the first cell are identified, but it is not the additional condition and / or corresponding associated ID of the model the terminal is using in the serving cell, then the serving cell is notified. After the serving cell informs the terminal of the first information, the terminal knows that it needs to switch to a new model after switching to the first cell. If the terminal has not currently downloaded the new model, then the terminal needs to prepare to download the new model. The download method can be non-3GPP, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, etc., which is not limited here; the download method can also be 3GPP based. If it is 3GPP based, then after the terminal determines the target cell to which it needs to switch, it can send a model download request during the handover process, i.e., before the RRC connection, such as in the PUSCH of Msg 3 or Msg A in the random access procedure. The model download request can include at least one of the following: the function / model ID, Model ID, additional condition, and / or corresponding associated ID. The first cell can also prepare the corresponding transmission based on the additional condition and / or the corresponding associated ID, such as the corresponding beam prediction, that is, it can prepare to send the corresponding reference signal resource configuration and reference signal. Furthermore, the first cell can also send the corresponding reference signal resource configuration information to the serving cell, and the serving cell can then send it to the terminal.

[0794] • If it is determined that there is no additional condition and / or corresponding associated ID supported by both the terminal and the first cell, then the serving cell may not select the first cell as the target cell for handover; or the serving cell may select the first cell as the target cell for handover, but the first information also includes the fallback to the traditional model after the terminal hands over to the first cell, that is, not based on the AI ​​model for derivation.

[0795] VI. Based on one, the first cell includes candidate cells for Layer 1 / layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM).

[0796] 1. The first information can be the configuration information of N candidate cells configured for LTM measurement and reporting. That is, the first information can include the associated ID supported by each candidate cell (further, the associated ID under a certain function / model).

[0797] 2. Traditionally, the first information can also be configured so that the terminal needs to report M candidate cells, and L beams corresponding to each of the M candidate cells (reporting RS ID and L1-RSRP / SINR). In this invention, in order to increase the probability that the serving cell selects the first cell corresponding to the associated ID supported by the terminal as the target cell during handover, it is proposed that the terminal can reduce the number of beams reported for a certain cell (for example, the associated ID supported by the cell is not supported by the terminal, or is different from the associated ID corresponding to the terminal's current model), and increase the number of beams reported for another cell (for example, the associated ID supported by the cell is supported by the terminal, or is the same as the associated ID corresponding to the terminal's current model).

[0798] VII. Based on one, the first cell includes measurements of neighboring cells used for Layer 3 mobility.

[0799] 1. The first piece of information can be measurement configuration information of neighboring cells used for L3 mobility, in which the terminal reports the cell-level RSRP or RSRQ, but does not need to report the beam-based L1 RSRP / RSRQ. Based on this, the associated ID information supported by each candidate cell is added to the first piece of information.

[0800] 2. Of course, for L3 mobility events, such as when the RSRP of a neighboring cell is higher than the RSRP of the serving cell by a threshold, the event will be triggered, and the terminal will report a measurement report. Here, the serving cell can configure different cell-specific offsets for each neighboring cell based on its knowledge of the associated IDs supported by the terminal (the terminal reports its own supported associated IDs / additional conditions) and the associated IDs supported by each neighboring cell. For example, if the neighboring cell's RSRP + the neighboring cell's offset > the serving cell's RSRP + the serving cell's offset + the threshold, then different neighboring cell offsets are configured for different neighboring cells. This ensures that the offset of neighboring cells supporting the associated IDs of the terminal is larger, making it easier to trigger measurement reporting; conversely, it ensures that the offset of neighboring cells supporting the associated IDs of the terminal is smaller, making it less likely to trigger measurement reporting.

[0801] 8. Based on one, the first cell includes the target cell during the handover process or the cell corresponding to the PCI of the RS in the indicated TCI state.

[0802] 1. The target cell's information, i.e., the first piece of information, can be RRC reconfiguration or other RRC information, which includes the target cell ID and related information about the associated IDs supported by the target cell.

[0803] 2. In the case of an Indicated TCI state, the first piece of information may include a new Indicated TCI state ID, and the PCI corresponding to the RS in the Indicated TCI state corresponding to the new Indicated TCI state ID is a non-serving cell, meaning that the non-serving cell is the target cell. The first piece of information also includes information about the associated IDs supported by the target cell corresponding to the Indicated TCI state.

[0804] • This switching can also be referred to as mobility, point switching, or point selection, etc.

[0805] Based on this, AI functionality includes training of AI functions / models, derivation of AI functions / models, and performance monitoring of AI functions / models.

[0806] This disclosure proposes a configuration method for additional conditions supported by candidate cells, which facilitates the terminal to obtain the additional conditions of candidate cells in advance during the handover process, enabling better selection of target cells or preparation of models to adapt to new additional conditions in advance, thereby improving the communication performance based on AI models.

[0807] This disclosure also provides an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is provided that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. Alternatively, another apparatus is provided that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network functional node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

[0808] It should be understood that the division of units or modules in the above device is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into a single physical entity, or they can be physically separated. Furthermore, the units or modules in the device can be implemented by a processor calling software: for example, the device includes a processor connected to a memory containing instructions. The processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or to implement the functions of the units or modules in the above device. The processor can be, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory can be internal or external to the device. Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits. The functionality of some or all of the units or modules can be achieved through the design of these hardware circuits, which can be understood as one or more processors. For example, in one implementation, the hardware circuit is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The functionality of some or all of the units or modules is achieved through the design of the logical relationships between the components within the circuit. In another implementation, the hardware circuit can be implemented using a programmable logic device (PLD). Taking a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) as an example, it can include a large number of logic gates. The connection relationships between the logic gates are configured through configuration files, thereby achieving the functionality of some or all of the units or modules. All units or modules of the above device can be implemented entirely through processor-called software, entirely through hardware circuits, or partially through processor-called software with the remaining parts implemented through hardware circuits.

[0809] In this embodiment, the processor is a circuit with signal processing capabilities. In one implementation, the processor can be a circuit with instruction read and execute capabilities, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) (which can be understood as a microprocessor), or a digital signal processor (DSP). In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. The logical relationships of the aforementioned hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
