The first correspondence includes the correspondence between a first identifier and a first condition. The first condition includes the transmission conditions of the second network device or the first cell for the first reference signal resource. The first identifier is used to indicate the data classification category.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the terminal can determine which network devices or cells share the same first correspondence based on the first information sent by the first network device. Therefore, when different second network devices or different first cells sharing the same first correspondence send the same first identifier to the terminal, the terminal can determine that the first conditions of these different second network devices or different first cells are consistent. However, when different network devices or different cells that do not share the same first correspondence send the same first identifier to the terminal, the terminal will not determine that the first conditions of these different network devices or different cells are consistent. This ensures that the terminal can accurately determine the first conditions of each network device or each cell, facilitating accurate management based on the first conditions of different network devices or different cells and improving transmission performance. Furthermore, the same first identifier can be reused among different network devices or different cells that do not share the same first correspondence, which not only avoids indicating confusion but also saves indicating resources.

As shown in Figure 1, the communication system includes a terminal and a first network device.

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.

[0297] 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.

[0300] 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.

[0302] 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.

[0303] 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.

[0304] Optionally, the relationship between the aforementioned reference signal resource set A and reference signal resource set B can include any of the following:

[0305] The first type is that the reference signal resource set B is a subset of the reference signal resource set A.

[0306] 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.

[0307] 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.

[0308] The second type is where reference signal resource set B is a wide beam and reference signal resource set A is a narrow beam.

[0309] 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.

[0310] 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 in a quasi-co-location type (QCL Type D) relationship with one reference signal resource in reference signal resource set B that simultaneously covers the beams corresponding to these multiple reference signal resources.

[0311] The third type is where reference signal resource set A is the same as reference signal resource set B.

[0312] 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 or different network devices are also different. For example, network device #1 or cell #1 supports transmitting reference signal resource set B, which includes reference signal resources with resource IDs of 8 resource IDs (1, 5, 9, 13, ...) from reference signal resource set A. Similarly, network device #2 or cell #2 supports transmitting reference signal resource set B, which includes reference signal resources with resource IDs of 8 resource IDs (1, 2, 3, 4, ...). Therefore, in some embodiments, since different network devices or cells support transmitting different reference signal resource sets B and A, the AI ​​model that a terminal can use when accessing different network devices or cells will also differ. In some embodiments, the network device typically needs to indicate to the terminal the reference signal resource sets B and A supported by different cells or network devices, so that when the terminal needs to switch to that cell or network device, it can determine which AI model to use based on these reference signal resource sets B and A.

[0313] For example, in some embodiments, a correspondence can be set between associated IDs and additional conditions. Optionally, an additional condition can be equivalent to "reference signal resource set B and / or reference signal resource set A supported by different network devices or different cells." In other words, an additional condition can refer to the transmission conditions of a network device or cell for reference signal resource set B and / or reference signal resource set A. Optionally, associated IDs can be used to indicate the additional conditions of different network devices or different cells. In some embodiments, a network device or cell can send the associated ID corresponding to the additional condition it supports. After receiving the associated ID, the terminal can determine the additional condition of the network device or cell, and thus determine which AI model can be used when the terminal switches to that network device or cell.

[0314] Optionally, in some embodiments, the same "associated ID to additional condition correspondence" is typically shared among multiple cells or network devices. For example, among different cells or different network devices sharing the same "associated ID to additional condition correspondence," if the associated IDs sent by two network devices or two cells are identical, it indicates that the additional conditions supported by the two network devices or two cells are the same. However, how to inform the terminal which cells or which network devices share the same "associated ID to additional condition correspondence" is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0315] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment of the disclosure relates to a communication method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0316] Step 2101: The first network device sends the first information to the terminal.

[0317] Optionally, the terminal can receive first information sent by a first network device, which can be the network device corresponding to the terminal's serving cell. In some embodiments, the terminal can support AI functions. Optionally, the terminal can implement AI functions using AI models, which may include at least one of AI model training, AI model derivation, and AI model performance monitoring. In other embodiments, the AI ​​functions may also include beam prediction (i.e., the aforementioned determination of beam prediction results using AI models), AI positioning, etc. Optionally, when the AI ​​functions include beam prediction and AI positioning, 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 in Figure 2.

[0334] In some embodiments, the first condition may be the "additional condition" described earlier in the embodiment of FIG2.

[0335] Optionally, the first identifier described above can be used to indicate a data classification category. In some embodiments, the data classification category may include the classification category corresponding to the measurement data of the first reference signal resource, and the first identifier may be the "associated ID" described earlier in the embodiment of FIG2.

[0336] Optionally, the first identifier described above can be used to indicate a data classification category. In some embodiments, the data classification category may include the classification category corresponding to the prediction result of the first reference signal resource (such as the aforementioned beam prediction result), and the first identifier may be the "associated ID" described earlier in the embodiment of FIG2.

[0337] Alternatively, the prediction results can also be referred to as prediction data.

[0338] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned "first information for determining multiple second network devices or multiple first cells sharing the same first correspondence" may include at least one of the following: the first information for determining different second network devices or different first cells sharing the same first correspondence; the first information for determining that the same second network device or the same first cell at different times shares the same first correspondence.

[0339] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information may include at least one of the following:

[0340] One or more second identifiers;

[0341] The second identifier corresponds to one or more cells;

[0342] The second identifier corresponds to one or more network devices;

[0343] A list of one or more communities;

[0344] A list of one or more network devices;

[0345] One or more third identifiers.

[0346] Optionally, the second identifier described above may include at least one of the area identifier (area ID), tracking area identifier (tracking area ID), and associatedID (applicable identifier). For example, the second identifier may be called associatedIDareaID, additionalconditionareaID, associatedIDapplyID, or other names, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0347] Optionally, the above list of cells may include the cell identifier of at least one cell.

[0348] Optionally, the list of network devices mentioned above may include the device identifier of at least one network device.

[0349] Optionally, the aforementioned third identifier can be used to indicate at least one of the AI ​​Functionality ID and the AI ​​Model ID. This third identifier may correspond to a second identifier, wherein different third identifiers may correspond to the same or different second identifiers.

[0350] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more second identifiers. Optionally, when the first information includes one or more second identifiers, it means that different network devices sending the same second identifier share the same first correspondence, or different cells sending the same second identifier share the same first correspondence. In some embodiments, if different network devices or different cells send the same second identifier, it indicates that these different network devices share the same first correspondence, or that these different cells share the same first correspondence. If different network devices or different cells send different second identifiers, it indicates that these different network devices do not share the same first correspondence, or that these different cells do not share the same first correspondence. Optionally, "different network devices or different cells share the same first correspondence" here may mean that when different network devices or different cells share the same first correspondence, if the first identifiers corresponding to the different network devices or different cells are the same, it indicates that the first conditions of the different network devices or different cells are the same.

[0351] For example, assuming the second identifier is 1, the first condition corresponding to the first identifier "1" includes: the supported reference signal resource set B includes reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A with resource IDs of 8 resource IDs, namely 1, 5, 9, 13, ...; and the first condition corresponding to the first identifier "2" includes: the supported reference signal resource set B includes reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A with resource IDs of 8 resource IDs, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, ... . In this case, if cell#1 sends a first identifier of 1 and a second identifier of 1; cell#2 sends a first identifier of 1 and a second identifier of 1; cell#3 sends a first identifier of 1 and a second identifier of 2; and cell#4 sends a first identifier of 2 and a second identifier of 1. This indicates that cells #1, #2, and #4 share the same first correspondence. Cells #1 and #2 have the same first condition, which supports the use of AI model #1 described earlier in the embodiment of Figure 2. Cell #4 has a different first condition from cells #1 and #2, supporting the use of AI model #2 described earlier in the embodiment of Figure 2. Cell #3 does not share the same first correspondence with cells #1, #2, and #4. For example, the first condition corresponding to cell #3 might include: the supported reference signal resource set B includes reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A with resource IDs of 2, 6, 10, 14, ... or other resource IDs.

[0352] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more second identifiers and one or more cells corresponding to the second identifiers. In this case, different cells do not need to send the second identifiers to the terminal. The terminal can first determine different cells corresponding to the same second identifier based on the first information, and can determine that different cells corresponding to the same second identifier share the same first correspondence relationship.

[0353] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more second identifiers and one or more network devices corresponding to the second identifiers. In this case, different network devices do not need to send the second identifiers to the terminal. The terminal can first determine the different network devices corresponding to the same second identifier based on the first information, and can determine that different network devices corresponding to the same second identifier share the same first correspondence.

[0354] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more cell lists, which means that different cells included in the same cell list share the same first correspondence.

[0355] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more lists of network devices, which means that different network devices included in the same list of network devices share the same first correspondence.

[0356] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more third identifiers, which means that different third network devices share the same first correspondence; or, different second cells share the same first correspondence. Optionally, the third network device or the second cell may satisfy a second condition. In some embodiments, the second condition may include at least one of the following: the corresponding second identifier corresponds to the same third identifier, the sent second identifier corresponds to the same third identifier, the corresponding third identifier, or the sent third identifier.

[0357] Optionally, in some embodiments, the aforementioned first correspondence may include the correspondence between N first identifiers and the first condition, but not the correspondence between first identifiers other than the N first identifiers and the first condition, where N is a positive integer and less than the total number of first identifiers. That is, the scope of application of the aforementioned first information is limited to some first identifiers (such as N first identifiers out of all first identifiers), not all first identifiers. In this case, the first information is used to determine at least one network device or at least one cell where N first identifiers share the same first correspondence. In other words, the at least one network device or at least one cell sharing the same first correspondence determined by the first information refers to the sharing of the same first correspondence among "N first identifiers," while not referring to the sharing of the first correspondence among "first identifiers other than the N first identifiers." For example, when N first identifiers of different network devices or different cells share the same first correspondence, if the first identifiers corresponding to the different network devices or different cells are the same and the first identifier is any one of the N first identifiers, it means that the different network devices or different cells correspond to the same first condition; however, if the first identifiers corresponding to the different network devices or different cells are the same, but the first identifier is not any one of the N first identifiers, it cannot be said that the different network devices or different cells correspond to the same first condition.

[0358] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information may include at least one of the following:

[0359] One or more second identifiers and N first identifiers corresponding to the second identifiers;

[0360] The second identifier corresponds to one or more cells and the second identifier corresponds to N first identifiers;

[0361] The second identifier corresponds to one or more network devices and the second identifier corresponds to N first identifiers;

[0362] One or more cell lists and N first identifiers corresponding to the cell lists;

[0363] One or more lists of network devices and N first identifiers corresponding to the lists of network devices;

[0364] One or more third identifiers and N first identifiers corresponding to the third identifiers.

[0365] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more second identifiers and N first identifiers corresponding to the second identifiers. Optionally, for different network devices or different cells that send the same second identifier, they can share the correspondence between the N first identifiers and the first condition. That is, when different network devices or different cells send the same second identifier and the same first identifier, and the first identifier is any one of the N first identifiers, it indicates that the different network devices or different cells correspond to the same first condition; however, if different network devices or different cells send the same second identifier and the same first identifier, but the first identifier is not any one of the N first identifiers, it cannot be said that the different network devices or different cells correspond to the same first condition.

[0366] For example, suppose the N first identifiers corresponding to the second identifier "1" include "first identifier 1, first identifier 2", where the first condition corresponding to the first identifier "1" includes: the reference signal resource set B that supports transmission includes reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A with resource IDs of 8 resource IDs, namely 1, 5, 9, 13, ...; and the first condition corresponding to the first identifier "2" includes: the reference signal resource set B that supports transmission includes reference signal resources in reference signal resource set A with resource IDs of 8 resource IDs, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, ... . In this case, if cell#1 transmits a first identifier of 1 and a second identifier of 1; cell#2 transmits a first identifier of 1 and a second identifier of 1; cell#3 transmits a first identifier of 2 and a second identifier of 1; and cell#4 transmits a first identifier of 3 and a second identifier of 1. This indicates that cells #1, #2, and #3 share the same first correspondence. Cells #1 and #2 have the same first condition, and the first conditions of cells #1 and #2 support the use of AI model #1 described earlier in the embodiment of Figure 2. The first condition of cell #3 is different from the first conditions of cells #1 and #2, and the first condition of cell #3 supports the use of AI model #2 described earlier in the embodiment of Figure 2. Cell #4 does not share the same first correspondence with cells #1, #2, and #3.

[0367] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more second identifiers, one or more cells corresponding to the second identifiers, and N first identifiers corresponding to the second identifiers. In this case, it means that the N first identifiers of different cells corresponding to the same second identifier share the same first correspondence relationship. Furthermore, the cells do not need to send the second identifiers to the terminal. The terminal can first determine the different cells corresponding to the same second identifier based on the first information, and then determine that the N first identifiers of different cells corresponding to the same second identifier share the same first correspondence relationship.

[0368] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more second identifiers, one or more network devices corresponding to the second identifiers, and N first identifiers corresponding to the second identifiers. In this case, it means that the N first identifiers of different network devices corresponding to the same second identifier share the same first correspondence relationship. Furthermore, the network devices do not need to send the second identifiers to the terminal. The terminal can first determine the different network devices corresponding to the same second identifier based on the first information, and then determine that the N first identifiers of different network devices corresponding to the same second identifier share the same first correspondence relationship.

[0369] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more cell lists and N first identifiers corresponding to the cell lists. In this case, it means that the N first identifiers of different cells included in the same cell list share the same first correspondence.

[0370] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more network device lists and N first identifiers corresponding to the network device lists. In this case, it means that the N first identifiers of different network devices included in the same network device list share the same first correspondence.

[0371] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more third identifiers and N first identifiers corresponding to the third identifiers. In this case, it means that: the N first identifiers between different third network devices share the same first correspondence; or, the N first identifiers between different second cells share the same first correspondence. Optionally, the third network device or the second cell may satisfy the second condition. For a detailed description of the second condition, please refer to the above description.

[0372] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first network device may include at least one of a core network device and an access network device. Optionally, when the network device includes an access network device, it may send the first information through at least one of a system message, a broadcast message, and a dedicated Radio Resource Control (DRC) message. Optionally, the dedicated RRC message may include at least one of reporting configuration information and measurement configuration information. Optionally, the reporting configuration information may include a CSI-reportconfig message, and the measurement configuration information may include a CSI-measureconfig message.

[0373] Step 2102: The terminal determines multiple second network devices or multiple first cells that share the same first correspondence.

[0374] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different network devices sending the same second identifier as multiple second network devices sharing the same first correspondence; in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different cells sending the same second identifier as multiple first cells sharing the same first correspondence; in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different network devices corresponding to the same second identifier as multiple second network devices sharing the same first correspondence; in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different cells corresponding to the same second identifier as multiple first cells sharing the same first correspondence; in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different cells included in the same cell list as multiple first cells sharing the same first correspondence; in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different network devices included in the same network device list as multiple second network devices sharing the same first correspondence; in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different third network devices as multiple second network devices sharing the same first correspondence; in some embodiments, the terminal can determine different second cells as multiple first cells sharing the same first correspondence.

[0375] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first correspondence shared between different second network devices or different first cells may include the correspondence between all first identifiers and first conditions. In some embodiments, the first correspondence shared between different second network devices or different first cells may include the correspondence between some first identifiers and first conditions; for example, N first identifiers among multiple second network devices or multiple first cells share the same first correspondence.

[0376] For a detailed description of this part, please refer to step 2101 above.

[0377] In summary, in the above embodiments, the terminal can determine which network devices or cells share the same first correspondence based on the first information sent by the first network device. Therefore, when different second network devices or different first cells sharing the same first correspondence send the same first identifier to the terminal, the terminal can determine that the first conditions of these different second network devices or different first cells are consistent. However, when different network devices or different cells that do not share the same first correspondence send the same first identifier to the terminal, the terminal will not determine that the first conditions of these different network devices or different cells are consistent. This ensures that the terminal can accurately determine the first conditions of each network device or each cell, facilitating accurate management based on the first conditions of different network devices or different cells and improving transmission performance. Furthermore, the same first identifier can be reused among different network devices or different cells that do not share the same first correspondence, which not only avoids indicating confusion but also saves indicating resources.

[0455] Step 4101: Send the first information to the terminal.

[0456] Optionally, the first information is used to determine multiple second network devices or multiple first cells that share the same first correspondence relationship.

[0499] Figure 5 is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the present disclosure relates to a communication method for a communication system, the communication system including a terminal and a first network device, and the method includes at least one of the following:

[0500] Step 5101: The first network device sends the first information to the terminal.

[0501] Step 5102: The terminal receives the first information sent by the first network device.

[0502] The optional implementation methods of steps 5101-5102 can be found in the above embodiments.

[0503] In some embodiments, the above methods may include the methods described in the embodiments of the communication system side, terminal side, first network device side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0504] The communication method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure may include at least one of steps 5101 to 5102. For example, step 5101 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, and step 5102 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

[0505] 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.

[0506] The following is an exemplary description of the above method.

[0507] This disclosure proposes a method for determining the scope of application of an associated ID, which may involve broadcasting the area ID corresponding to the associated ID.

[0508] First, the terminal receives the first information from the network device and determines the scope of application of the additional condition consistency based on the first information. The consistency means that the additional condition corresponding to the network device is consistent at different times.

[0509] Second, based on the first, the first information includes the first ID, and the additional conditions corresponding to network devices that send the same first ID are consistent.

[0510] Third, based on second, for network devices that send the same first ID, the additional condition corresponding to the same associated ID is the same.

[0511] 1. For example, the first ID is an area ID, which can be called associatedID / areaID or additionalcondition / areaID. Alternatively, the first ID can be a tracking area ID (i.e., a reused tracking area ID).

[0512] 2. For example, when two network devices send the same first ID and the same associated ID, it means that the two network devices correspond to the same additional condition. Taking set B corresponding to model A and model B in the previous background as an example, the associated ID of the additional condition corresponding to set B of model A is 1, and the associated ID of the additional condition corresponding to set B of model B is 2. Now we have cell#1, cell#2, cell#3, and cell#4. For example, cell#1 sends an associated ID of 1 and a first ID of 1; cell#2 sends an associated ID of 1 and a first ID of 1; cell#3 sends an associated ID of 1 and a first ID of 2; and cell#4 sends an associated ID of 2 and a first ID of 1.

[0513] This means that cell #1 and cell #2 both correspond to set B of model A, that is, the corresponding beams are the 8 beams 1, 5, 9, 13... in set A;

[0514] This means that cell #4 corresponds to set B of model B, which means that the corresponding beams are the 8 beams in set A, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

[0515] This indicates that the beam of set B corresponding to associated ID #1 of cell #3 is different from the beams of set B corresponding to associated ID #1 of the other three cells, because their corresponding first IDs are different. It is possible that in the case of first ID 2, the beam of set B corresponding to associated ID #1 is 2, 6, 10, 14... or other multiple beams in set A.

[0516] If the first ID is the same, it means that if the associated IDs are also the same, then the corresponding additional conditions are the same. When the first IDs are different, it is impossible to determine whether the associated IDs are the same or different.

[0517] Fourth, the first piece of information includes a list containing multiple cell IDs. The additional conditions corresponding to the same associated ID of the multiple cell IDs in the list are the same.

[0518] 1. A cell list can be associated ID specific, or multiple associated IDs can correspond to one cell list.

[0519] In other words, for this cell list, only when these associated IDs are the same do the corresponding additional conditions be the same. Other cases where associated IDs are the same are not necessarily true. For example, taking the beam of set B corresponding to model A or model B as an example, when associated ID is 1 or 2, the cells in these cell lists have the same additional conditions. However, when associated ID is 3, it's possible that set B is a wide beam and set A is a narrow beam. In this case, some cells in this cell list might not meet the condition, so they could correspond to a different cell list.

[0520] The same applies to sending the first ID; you can send the first ID corresponding to different associated IDs.

[0521] V. Based on any one of 1-4, the first information also includes

[0522] 1. Functionality ID / Model ID

[0523] 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.

[0524] VI. The first message is sent via the system information of the access network device, or via the dedicated RRC configuration of the access network device, or via the core network.

[0525] Taking beam prediction as an example, the dedicated RRC configuration information can include CSI-reportconfig or CSI-measureconfig.

[0526] This disclosure proposes a scope for the application of additional condition consistency, indicating which cells in the terminal have the same associated ID and corresponding additional conditions, which facilitates better model management by the terminal and improves the communication performance based on AI models.

[0527] 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.

[0528] 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.

[0529] 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).
