[0119] For the convenience of understanding, some contents related to the embodiments of the present application are explained as follows:

[0120] 1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

[0121] Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely applied in various fields. Integrating artificial intelligence into wireless communication networks significantly improves technical indicators such as throughput, latency, and user capacity, which is an important task for future wireless communication networks. AI modules have various implementation methods, such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, and Bayesian classifiers. The embodiments of the present application take neural networks as an example for illustration, but do not limit the specific types of AI modules.

[0122] A schematic diagram of a neural network is shown in FIG. 2:

[0123] The neural network is composed of neurons, and a schematic diagram of a neuron is shown in FIG. 3. The inputs are a1, a2, … a K The weights are w, the bias is b, and the activation function is σ(.). Common activation functions include Sigmoid, tanh, linear rectification function, or rectified linear unit (ReLU), etc.

[0124] The parameters of the neural network are optimized by a gradient optimization algorithm. Gradient optimization algorithms are a class of algorithms that minimize or maximize objective functions (or described as loss functions), and the objective functions are often a mathematical combination of model parameters and data. For example, given data X and its corresponding label Y, a neural network model f(.) is constructed. After the model is obtained, the predicted output f(x) can be obtained according to the input x, and the difference between the predicted value and the true value (f(x)-Y) can be calculated, which is the loss function. Find the appropriate W, b to minimize the value of the above loss function, the smaller the loss value, the closer the model is to the true situation.

[0125] The common optimization algorithm at present is basically based on error back propagation (BP) algorithm. The basic idea of BP algorithm is that the learning process is composed of two processes of forward propagation of signals and backward propagation of errors. When forward propagation, the input sample is transmitted from the input layer, processed layer by layer through each hidden layer, and transmitted to the output layer. If the actual output of the output layer does not match the expected output, the backward propagation of error is entered. The error back propagation is to transmit the output error to the input layer through the hidden layer in a certain form, and allocate the error to all units of each layer, so as to obtain the error signal of each unit, which is used as the basis for correcting the weight of each unit. The weight adjustment process of each layer of the signal forward propagation and the error backward propagation is repeated. The process of continuously adjusting the weight is the learning and training process of the network. This process is carried out until the error of the network output is reduced to an acceptable level, or until the preset learning times are reached.

[0126] The common optimization algorithm includes gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent (SGD), mini-batch gradient descent, momentum method, Nesterov with momentum, adaptive gradient descent (Adagrad), Adadelta, root mean square prop (RMSprop), adaptive moment estimation (Adam), etc.

[0127] These optimization algorithms, when the error is back propagated, obtain the error / loss according to the loss function, derive the current neuron, add the learning rate, the previous gradient / derivative / partial derivative, etc., obtain the gradient, and transmit the gradient to the previous layer.

[0128] 2, AI unit / AI model

[0129] The AI unit / AI model described in the present application can also be referred to as a machine learning (ML) model, an ML unit, an AI structure, an AI function, an AI feature, a machine learning model, a neural network, a neural network function, a neural network function, etc., or the AI unit / AI model can also refer to a processing unit capable of implementing specific algorithms, formulas, features, processing flows, capabilities, etc. related to AI, or the AI unit / AI model can be a processing method, algorithm, function, feature, module or unit for a specific data set, or the AI unit / AI model can be a processing method, algorithm, function, feature, module or unit running on AI / ML related hardware such as a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) or an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), etc. The present application does not make specific limitations. Optionally, the specific data set includes the input and / or output of the AI unit / AI model.

[0130] Optionally, the identification of the AI unit / AI model can be an AI model identification, an AI structure identification, an AI algorithm identification, or an identification of a specific data set associated with the AI unit / AI model, or an identification of a specific scene, environment, area, cell, channel feature, device related to AI / ML, or an identification of a function, feature, capability or module related to AI / ML. The present application does not make specific limitations.

[0131] 3. Additional conditions and associated ID

[0132] For an AI / ML-enabled feature / FG, additional conditions refer to any aspects that are assumed for the training of the model but are not a part of UE capability for the AI / ML-enabled feature / FG. It does not imply that additional conditions are necessarily specified. Additional conditions can be divided into two categories: NW-side additional conditions and UE-side additional conditions.

[0133] For inference for UE-side models, to ensure consistency between training and inference regarding NW-side additional conditions (if identified), the following options can be taken as potential approaches (when feasible and necessary):

[0134] Model identification to achieve alignment on the NW-side additional condition between NW-side and UE-side;

[0135] Model training at NW and transfer to UE, where the model has been trained under the additional condition;

[0136] Information and / or indication on NW-side additional conditions is provided to UE;

[0137] Consistency assisted by monitoring (by UE and / or NW, the performance of UE-side candidate models / functionalities to select a model / functionality);

[0138] Other approaches are not precluded;

[0139] It is noted that the possibility that different approaches can achieve the same function is not denied.

[0140] Regarding the associated ID for Rel-19, the UE assumes that NW-side additional conditions with the same associated ID are consistent at least within a cell.

[0141] The UE assumption may be applicable for multiple cells.

[0142] For beam management, UE may assume the similar properties of a DL Tx beam or beam set / list associated with the same associated ID.

[0145] In step 101, a terminal determines a value of a first identifier associated with a Channel State Information (CSI) report based on first information;

[0146] In the case where configuration information of the first identifier is included in a measurement configuration or a reporting configuration of the CSI report, the first information includes the configuration information of the first identifier;

[0147] And / or,

[0149] a default value of the first identifier;

[0150] a value of the first identifier that has been activated or configured;

[0151] a value of the first identifier associated with a reference signal (RS) used for measurement or inference at a latest time, the first identifier associated with the RS and the first identifier associated with the CSI report being used for the same function;

[0152] wherein the first identifier is an identifier of at least one of the following:

[0158] wherein the first identifier can be an associated ID, a dataset ID, a dataset categorization ID, a model ID or a functionality ID, etc.

[0159] In an implementation, the CSI report can be used for data collection for performance monitoring, or data collection for model training.

[0161] For example, the network side and / or the terminal can assume similar properties of a “DL Rx and / or UL Tx” beam or beam set / list associated with the same “UE-sided additional condition and / or UE-sided associated ID”. Optionally, the similar properties can be that the beam information of the “DL Rx and / or UL Tx” beam is the same or similar, or the network side device can use the same or similar uplink transmission beam and / or downlink reception beam to match the “DL Rx and / or UL Tx” beam, or the beam information of the same identified, same positioned, or same ordered beam in the “DL Rx and / or UL Tx” beam set or beam list is the same or similar, or the network side device can use the same or similar uplink transmission beam and / or downlink reception beam to match the same identified, same positioned, or same ordered beam in the “DL Rx and / or UL Tx” beam set or beam list.

[0162] For example, the network side and / or the terminal can assume that the“DL Tx and / or UL Rx” beam or beam set / list associated with the same“NW-sided additional condition and / or NW-sided associated ID” has similar properties (NW and / or UE may assume the similar properties of a“DL Tx and / or UL Rx” beam or beam set / list associated with the same“NW-sided additional condition and / or NW-sided associated ID”. Optionally, the similar properties can be that the beam information of the“downlink transmission and / or uplink reception” beam is the same or similar, or the terminal can use the same or similar downlink reception beam and / or uplink transmission beam to match the“downlink transmission and / or uplink reception” beam, or the beam information of the same identified, same located, or same ordered beam in the“downlink transmission and / or uplink reception” beam set or beam list is the same or similar, or the terminal can use the same or similar downlink reception beam and / or uplink transmission beam to match the same identified, same located, or same ordered beam in the“downlink transmission and / or uplink reception” beam set or beam list.

[0164] The at least part of the hardware information or configuration information of the communication link of the network side device or the terminal can include hardware information or configuration information of a power amplifier, a coupler, a radio frequency chain (RF chain), and / or a digital pre-distortion (DPD).

[0165] The wireless environment or wireless signal feature of the network side device or the terminal can refer to the surrounding wireless environment or wireless signal feature of the network side or the terminal side.

[0166] The same function can refer to the same functionality, feature, or feature group, or the same AI functionality, AI feature, or AI feature group.

[0167] In addition, the value of the first identifier of the RS associated with the latest time for measurement or inference can refer to the value of the first identifier of the same-function RS associated with the latest time for measurement or inference.

[0168] In an implementation, the value of the first identifier of the RS associated with the latest time for measurement or inference can refer to the value of all the first identifiers of the same-function RS associated with the latest time for measurement or inference.

[0169] In an implementation, in the case that the configuration information of the first identifier is not included in the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report, the terminal determines the value of the first identifier associated with the channel state information (CSI) report based on the first information, which can include: the terminal takes all the values in the first information as the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report; or, the terminal takes part of the values in the first information as the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report; or, the terminal takes the maximum value in the first information as the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report; or, the terminal takes the minimum value in the first information as the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report; and the like, which are not limited in the present embodiment.

[0170] In an implementation, in the case that the configuration information of the first identifier is not included in the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report, the terminal determines the value of the first identifier associated with the channel state information (CSI) report based on the first information, which can include:

[0171] In the case that the configuration information of the first identifier is not included in the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report, the terminal determines the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report according to a target rule, which can be agreed by a protocol, or configured by a network side (NW), or reported by the terminal. The network side device can also determine the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report according to the target rule, so as to realize consistent understanding of the first identifier between the terminal and the network side device.

[0172] In an implementation, the target rule can include: determining the value of the first identifier based on the first information.

[0173] In an implementation, the target rule can include:

[0174] using a default value of the first identifier;

[0175] using an activated or configured value of the first identifier;

[0176] using the maximum value or the minimum value of the activated or configured value of the first identifier;

[0177] selecting a part of the values of the first identity from the activated or configured values of the first identity;

[0178] using the latest activated or configured value of the first identity;

[0179] using the maximum or minimum of the latest activated or configured values of the first identity;

[0180] using the latest value of the first identity associated with the RS for measurement or inference;

[0181] using the maximum or minimum of the latest value of the first identity associated with the RS for measurement or inference.

[0182] In an implementation, in a case that the configuration information of the first identity is included in the measurement configuration or reporting configuration of the CSI report, the terminal can determine the value of the first identity associated with the CSI report based on the configuration information of the first identity. For example, the configuration information of the first identity can be configured with the value of the first identity.

[0183] In an implementation, the terminal determines the value of the first identity associated with the CSI report based on the first information, performs CSI measurement based on the determined value of the first identity, obtains measurement results or reporting results, and sends the CSI report.

[0184] The CSI measurement based on the determined value of the first identity can include at least one of the following:

[0185] In a case that the first identity is used to identify beam information of the network side device or the terminal, the CSI measurement is performed using the beam information corresponding to the determined first identity;

[0186] In a case that the first identity is used to identify antenna information of the network side device or the terminal, the CSI measurement is performed using the antenna information corresponding to the determined first identity;

[0187] In a case that the first identity is used to identify at least part of hardware information or configuration information of the communication link of the network side device or the terminal, the CSI measurement is performed using the hardware information or configuration information corresponding to the determined first identity;

[0188] In a case that the first identity is used to identify signaling configuration of the network side device or the terminal, the CSI measurement is performed using the signaling configuration corresponding to the determined first identity;

[0189] In a case that the first identity is used to identify wireless environment or wireless signal characteristics of the network side device or the terminal, the CSI measurement is performed using the wireless environment or wireless signal characteristics corresponding to the determined first identity.

[0190] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal determines the value of the first identifier associated with the channel state information (CSI) report based on first information; in the case that the configuration information of the first identifier is included in the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report, the first information includes the configuration information of the first identifier; and / or in the case that the configuration information of the first identifier is not included in the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report, the first information includes at least one of the following: a default value of the first identifier; a value of the first identifier that has been activated or configured; a value of a reference signal (RS) associated with the first identifier used for measurement or inference at the latest time, the RS associated with the first identifier and the first identifier associated with the CSI report being used for the same function. In this way, the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report is determined according to the first information, which can realize the design of the rule for determining the first identifier, so that the terminal and the network side device can both determine the value of the first identifier associated with the CSI report according to the first information, thereby reducing the probability of inconsistent understanding of the terminal and the network side device for determining the first identifier and improving the use effect of the first identifier.

[0191] Optionally, the determined value of the first identifier includes any one of the following:

[0192] a default value of the first identifier;

[0193] a value of the first identifier that has been activated or configured;

[0194] a maximum value or a minimum value of the value of the first identifier that has been activated or configured;

[0195] a value of the first identifier that has been activated or configured at the latest time;

[0196] a maximum value or a minimum value of the value of the first identifier that has been activated or configured at the latest time;

[0197] a value of the RS associated with the first identifier used for measurement or inference at the latest time;

[0198] a maximum value or a minimum value of the value of the RS associated with the first identifier used for measurement or inference at the latest time.

[0199] Taking the first identifier as an example, the maximum value can be a highest associated ID, and the minimum value can be a lowest associated ID.

[0200] In this embodiment, by determining the value of the first identifier, the probability of inconsistency between the terminal and the network side device in understanding the first identifier can be reduced. Further, in the case where the first identifier is used to determine the AI model, the consistency of the AI model in training and inference of the network side device and the terminal can be improved, thereby improving the overall performance of AI communication.

[0201] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0202] The terminal reports the measurement result or the reporting result corresponding to the target value of the determined value of the first identifier and the target value in the CSI report.

[0203] The measurement result or the reporting result corresponding to the target value is the best among the measurement results or the reporting results corresponding to the determined values of the first identifier.

[0204] The reporting result can be a result obtained by calculating, inferring or other processing based on the measurement result, or the reporting result can be the measurement result.

[0205] In an embodiment, the measurement result or the reporting result can include a performance monitoring (or detection) result.

[0206] In an embodiment, in the case where the number of the determined values of the first identifier is greater than 1, the terminal reports the measurement result or the reporting result corresponding to the target value of the determined value of the first identifier and the target value in the CSI report.

[0207] In this embodiment, the terminal reports the measurement result or the reporting result corresponding to the target value of the determined value of the first identifier and the target value in the CSI report; and the measurement result or the reporting result corresponding to the target value is the best among the measurement results or the reporting results corresponding to the determined values of the first identifier. In this way, when the number of the determined values of the first identifier is greater than 1, it can be determined how to report the CSI report; and the best measurement result or the reporting result can be sent to the network side device, thereby reducing the reporting overhead and improving the CSI reporting effect.

[0208] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0209] The terminal reports the measurement result or the reporting result corresponding to all the determined values of the first identifier in the CSI report.

[0210] The reporting result can be a result obtained by calculating, inferring or other processing based on the measurement result, or the reporting result can be the measurement result.

[0211] In an implementation, the measurement result or the reporting result can include a performance detection result.

[0212] In an implementation, in a case where the determined number of values of the first identifier is greater than 1, the terminal reports, in the CSI report, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to all of the determined values of the first identifier.

[0213] In this implementation, the terminal reports, in the CSI report, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to all of the determined values of the first identifier. In this way, in a case where the determined number of values of the first identifier is greater than 1, it is determined how to report the CSI report; and reporting measurement results or reporting results corresponding to all of the determined values of the first identifier facilitates the network side to obtain more measurement information.

[0214] Optionally, the terminal reports, in the CSI report, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to all of the determined values of the first identifier, including any one of the following:

[0215] The terminal reports, in the CSI report, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to all of the determined values of the first identifier in a configuration order of the determined values of the first identifier.

[0216] The terminal reports, in the CSI report, each of the determined values of the first identifier and measurement results or reporting results corresponding to the each value, respectively.

[0217] For example, if the network side device configures the first identifiers 1, 2 and 3, the terminal reports, in order, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to the first identifier 1, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to the first identifier 2, and measurement results or reporting results corresponding to the first identifier 3.

[0218] For example, if the network side device configures the first identifiers 1, 2 and 3, the terminal reports, in order, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to the first identifier 1, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to the first identifier 2, and measurement results or reporting results corresponding to the first identifier 3.

[0219] In this implementation, the terminal reports, in the CSI report, measurement results or reporting results corresponding to all of the determined values of the first identifier in a configuration order of the determined values of the first identifier, so that the terminal does not need to report the values of the first identifier, thereby reducing the reporting overhead.

[0220] In this embodiment, the terminal reports each of the determined values of the first identifier and the measurement result or the report result corresponding to each value in the CSI report, which can improve the flexibility of the terminal report.

[0221] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0222] The terminal acquires resources corresponding to the determined values of the first identifier.

[0223] The terminal performs CSI measurement based on the acquired resources.

[0224] The resources include at least one of the following:

[0225] Computing resources, computing power resources, processing resources, or inference resources.

[0226] Storage resources.

[0227] It should be noted that if the determined values of the first identifier are more than one, the terminal needs more computing resources, computing power resources, processing resources, inference resources, or storage resources.

[0228] For example, if K first identifiers are configured, the terminal needs K times of computing resources, computing power resources, processing resources, inference resources, or storage resources of AI models, AI functions, or AI features.

[0229] In this embodiment, the terminal acquires resources corresponding to the determined values of the first identifier, and the terminal performs CSI measurement based on the acquired resources. In this way, when the number of determined values of the first identifier is different, the resources used for CSI measurement by the terminal are different, the terminal can acquire resources suitable for the number of values of the first identifier for CSI measurement, and the CSI measurement effect can be improved.

[0230] Optionally, in the case where the configuration information of the first set of RSs and the second set of RSs is included in the measurement configuration or the report configuration of the CSI report, the measurement configuration or the report configuration of the CSI report further includes configuration information of the first identifier.

[0231] The configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure any one of the following:

[0232] The first identifier corresponding to the first set;

[0233] The first identifier corresponding to the second set;

[0234] The first identifier corresponding to the first set and the first identifier corresponding to the second set;

[0235] The measurement result or the reporting result of the RSs in the second set depends on the measurement result or the reporting result of the RSs in the first set.

[0236] The first set can be Set B, and the second set can be Set A.

[0237] It should be noted that, for performance monitoring and model training, Set B and Set A need to be configured, and the terminal needs to measure Set B and Set A, wherein the measurement result of the RSs in Set B is the input of AI model inference, and the measurement result of the RSs in Set A is the label or ideal value or expected value of the output of AI model inference; for model inference, Set B and Set A need to be configured, and the terminal only needs to measure Set B and does not need to measure Set A, the terminal takes the measurement result of the RSs in Set B as the input of AI model inference, obtains the result of the RSs in Set A after AI model inference, and reports the result of the RSs in Set A (the terminal actually does not measure the RSs in Set A).

[0238] In this embodiment, the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure any one of the following: the first identifier corresponding to the first set; the first identifier corresponding to the second set; the first identifier corresponding to the first set and the first identifier corresponding to the second set. In this way, in the case where the configuration information of the RSs in the first set and the RSs in the second set is included in the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report, the configuration of the first identifier in the CSI report can be implemented.

[0239] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0240] In the case where the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure the first identifier corresponding to the first set, the terminal determines to use the value of the first identifier corresponding to the first set; or,

[0241] In the case where the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure the first identifier corresponding to the second set, the terminal determines to use the value of the first identifier corresponding to the second set; or,

[0242] In the case where the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure the first identifier corresponding to the first set, the terminal determines that the value of the first identifier corresponding to the second set is the value of the first identifier corresponding to the first set; or,

[0243] In a case where the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure the first identifier corresponding to the first set and the first identifier corresponding to the second set, the terminal determines to use the first identifier corresponding to the first set; or,

[0244] In a case where the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure the first identifier corresponding to the first set and the first identifier corresponding to the second set, the terminal determines to use the first identifier corresponding to the first set; or,

[0245] In a case where the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure the first identifier corresponding to the first set and the first identifier corresponding to the second set, the terminal determines to use the first identifier corresponding to the first set; or,

[0246] In a case where the configuration information of the first identifier is used to configure the first identifier corresponding to the first set and the first identifier corresponding to the second set, the terminal determines to use the first identifier corresponding to the first set and the first identifier corresponding to the second set.

[0247] In this embodiment, the terminal determines how to use the configuration information of the first identifier, so that in a case where the configuration information of the RSs in the first set and the RSs in the second set is included in the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report, the use of the first identifier in the CSI report can be realized.

[0248] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0249] The terminal performs at least one of the following according to the first identifier:

[0250] selecting a data set for transmission or reception;

[0251] collecting or marking data corresponding to condition information of the terminal;

[0260] Signaling configuration of the network-side device or the terminal;

[0261] Wireless environment or wireless signal characteristics of the network-side device or the terminal.

[0262] The data set can include an AI data set. The data corresponding to the condition information can include AI data corresponding to the condition information.

[0263] In the embodiments of the present application, the AI model, AI data, AI data set or AI function includes at least one of the following:

[0264] The first AI model, first AI data, first AI data set or first AI function used by the communication device (such as a terminal or a network-side device);

[0265] The reference AI model, reference AI data, reference AI data set or reference AI function of the first AI model;

[0266] The second AI model, second AI data, second AI data set or second AI function used by the terminal, network-side device or test device in testing;

[0267] The reference AI model, reference AI data, reference AI data set or reference AI function of the second AI model;

[0268] The third AI model, third AI data, third AI data set or third AI function used by the terminal, network-side device or test device to match the second AI model, second AI data, second AI data set or second AI function used in testing (this item is for a two-end communication use case (such as CSI compression and recovery, encoding and decoding, etc.), for example, the second AI model used in testing is a CSI encoder, and the third AI model is a CSI decoder);

[0269] The reference AI model, reference AI data, reference AI data set or reference AI function of the third AI model, third AI data, third AI data set or third AI function.

[0270] The selecting dataset for sending or receiving can refer to selecting a dataset suitable for the condition information of the network side or the terminal side for transmission or selecting a dataset collected based on the condition information of the network side or the terminal side for transmission according to the first identifier (the first identifier of the terminal side and / or the network side device).

[0271] The collecting or marking data corresponding to the condition information of the terminal can refer to collecting or marking data corresponding to the condition information of the terminal side. For example, data is collected respectively to form a plurality of datasets according to different first identifiers (the first identifier of the terminal side and / or the network side device), or data is collected and marked with the first identifier (the first identifier of the terminal side and / or the network side device).

[0272] The selecting AI model deployed in the terminal or the network side device can refer to selecting the terminal side model or the network side model. For example, the network side selects a network side model suitable for the reported first identifier according to the first identifier (the first identifier of the terminal side and / or the network side device) reported by the terminal, or instructs the terminal to select a terminal side model suitable for the reported first identifier. For example, the terminal selects a terminal side model suitable for the reported first identifier according to the first identifier (the first identifier of the terminal side and / or the network side) indicated by the network side, or instructs the network side to select a network side model suitable for the reported first identifier.

[0273] The monitoring AI model deployed in the terminal or the network side device can refer to monitoring the terminal side model or the network side model. For example, the network side monitors a network side model suitable for the reported first identifier according to the first identifier (the first identifier of the terminal side and / or the network side device) reported by the terminal, or instructs the terminal to monitor a terminal side model suitable for the reported first identifier. For example, the terminal monitors a terminal side model suitable for the reported first identifier according to the first identifier (the first identifier of the terminal side and / or the network side) indicated by the network side, or instructs the network side to monitor a network side model suitable for the reported first identifier.

[0274] It should be noted that the first identifier can be used to ensure the consistency of the terminal side model or the network side model in the training stage and the inference stage. For example, the training data of the terminal side model or the network side model is collected according to certain first identifiers (the first identifiers of the terminal side and / or the network side device), and then the terminal selects or the network side instructs to use the model trained by the first identifiers (the first identifiers of the terminal side and / or the network side device) during model inference.

[0275] The following is supplemented by an example:

[0276] Taking the first identifier as an associated ID as an example, in the related art, there is a discussion about the associated ID, such as "a UE may assume the similar properties of a DL Tx beam or beam set / list associated with the same associated ID", the associated ID is at least cell-specific, and can be used for multi-cell. However, there is no specific scheme for the specific configuration scheme in the CSI report of the associated ID and how the UE uses the associated ID.

[0277] There is no specific scheme for the specific configuration scheme in the CSI report of the associated ID and how the UE uses the associated ID, especially in the case where the associated ID is not configured, the case where multiple associated IDs are configured, and the case where Set A and Set B configure the associated ID. Therefore, the use of the associated ID is affected. In the embodiments of the present application, the first identifier can be the associated ID, and the above problems can be solved.

[0278] Example 1

[0279] If the measurement configuration (measure config) or the reporting configuration (report config) of the CSI report does not configure the associated ID, the terminal (UE) can use the associated ID according to a target rule, which can be a protocol agreement, network side (NW) configuration, or terminal reporting.

[0280] The target rule includes any one of the following:

[0281] using a default associated ID;

[0282] using a currently activated or configured associated ID, which can refer to all (or all) currently activated or configured associated IDs;

[0283] using the "lowest / highest" associated ID of the currently activated or configured associated IDs;

[0284] selecting at least part of the associated IDs by the terminal from the currently activated or configured associated IDs;

[0285] using the associated IDs activated or configured at the latest time, which can refer to all the associated IDs activated or configured at the latest time;

[0286] using the "lowest / highest" associated ID of the associated IDs activated or configured at the latest time;

[0287] using the associated IDs of the same functionality activated or configured at the latest time, which can refer to all the associated IDs of the same functionality activated or configured at the latest time;

[0288] using the "lowest / highest" associated ID of the associated IDs of the same functionality activated or configured at the latest time.

[0289] Optionally, the above-mentioned associated IDs of the same functionality, such as the associated ID of the same functionality, the associated ID of the same functionality activated or configured at the latest time, the "lowest / highest" associated ID of the same functionality activated or configured at the latest time, etc., are not listed one by one.

[0290] The same functionality can refer to the same functionality, feature or feature group, or the same AI functionality, AI feature or AI feature group.

[0291] In an implementation, if the measurement configuration or the reporting configuration of the CSI report has configured associated IDs, the feedback can be performed according to the configured associated IDs.

[0292] In an embodiment, if there are more than one associated IDs determined according to the target rule, or more than one associated IDs configured, the terminal can report the corresponding results of the best associated ID and indicate the associated ID.

[0293] The best associated ID can refer to the best one among all the configured associated IDs based on the measurement results, reporting results, or performance detection results of the associated ID.

[0294] In an embodiment, if there are more than one associated IDs determined according to the target rule, or more than one associated IDs configured, the terminal can report the corresponding results of all the associated IDs (i.e. the determined associated IDs or the configured associated IDs).

[0295] In an embodiment, in the case that the terminal reports the corresponding results of all the associated IDs, the terminal can report the corresponding results in sequence according to the associated ID configuration sequence, and in this case, the corresponding associated ID can not be reported.

[0296] For example, if the network side indicates associated IDs 1, 2, and 3, the terminal can report the corresponding results of associated ID 1, the corresponding results of associated ID 2, and the corresponding results of associated ID 3 in sequence.

[0297] In an embodiment, in the case that the terminal reports the corresponding results of all the associated IDs, the terminal can report the associated IDs and the corresponding results.

[0298] For example, if the network side indicates associated IDs 1, 2, and 3, the terminal can report associated ID 1 and the corresponding results of associated ID 1, associated ID 2 and the corresponding results of associated ID 2, and associated ID 3 and the corresponding results of associated ID 3 (which can not be strictly in sequence).

[0299] It should be noted that if there are more than one associated ID applicable or configured, the terminal needs more "computing, computing power, processing, storage or inference" resources, such as CSI processing unit (CPU);

[0300] For example, if K associated IDs are configured, the terminal needs K times of computing, storage or inference resources of AI model, AI function or AI feature.

[0301] In an implementation, when the CSI report is configured with RS of Set B and Set A, the configuration or use of associated ID can be implemented in any of the following ways:

[0302] For example, only the associated ID of Set B needs to be configured, and the associated ID of Set A can not be configured; the terminal can use the associated ID of Set B;

[0303] For example, only the associated ID of Set A needs to be configured, and the associated ID of Set B can not be configured; the terminal can use the associated ID of Set A;

[0304] For example, the associated ID of Set B is the same as the associated ID of Set A;

[0305] For example, the associated ID of Set B is different from the associated ID of Set A;

[0306] The terminal can only use the associated ID of Set B, or not use the associated ID of Set A; or,

[0307] The terminal can only use the associated ID of Set A, or not use the associated ID of Set B; or,

[0308] The terminal can use both the associated ID of Set A and the associated ID of Set B, at this time, it is equivalent to configuring two associated IDs (when one set is configured with one associated ID) or equivalent to configuring two associated ID sets (when one set is configured with one associated ID set).

[0309] In an implementation, the associated ID is used to indicate the condition information, condition, additional condition, assistance information of the network side or the terminal side, including at least one of the following:

[0310] The beam information of the network side or the terminal side, such as beam pattern, spatial Rx parameter, spatial Tx parameter, the number of analog beams, the main direction of at least one beam, the main lobe width (such as 3dB width) of at least one beam, the angular power spectrum (such as the power spectrum of each angle) of at least one beam, the association relationship between beams;

[0311] The antenna information of the network side or the terminal side, such as antenna pattern, the number of antenna elements, the number of TXRUs, the arrangement mode of antenna array, the mapping relationship between antenna elements and TXRUs;

[0312] For example, the network side and / or the terminal can assume the similar properties of a“DL Rx and / or UL Tx” beam or beam set / list associated with the same“terminal side additional condition and / or terminal side associated ID” (NW and / or UE may assume the similar properties of a“DL Rx and / or UL Tx” beam or beam set / list associated with the same“UE-sided additional condition and / or UE-sided associated ID”;

[0313] For example, the network side and / or the terminal can assume the similar properties of a“DL Tx and / or UL Rx” beam or beam set / list associated with the same“network side additional condition and / or network side associated ID” (NW and / or UE may assume the similar properties of a“DL Tx and / or UL Rx” beam or beam set / list associated with the same“NW-sided additional condition and / or NW-sided associated ID”;

[0314] At least part of hardware information or configuration information of the network side or terminal side communication link (in addition to the antenna pattern and the beam pattern), such as hardware information or configuration information of a power amplifier, a coupler, an RF chain, and digital pre-distortion (DPD);

[0315] Signaling configuration of the network side or the terminal side;

[0316] Surrounding wireless environment / wireless signal characteristics of the network side or the terminal side.

[0317] In an implementation, the associated ID is used for at least one of the following:

[0318] For the network side or the terminal to select a suitable dataset for transmission.

[0320] For the network side or the terminal to select a terminal side model or a network side model. For example, the network side selects a network side model suitable for the reported associated ID (of the terminal side and / or the network side device) of the terminal according to the reported associated ID, or instructs the terminal to select a terminal side model suitable for the reported associated ID.

[0321] To ensure the consistency of the terminal-side model or the network-side model in the training phase and the inference phase. For example, the training data of the terminal-side model or the network-side model is collected according to certain associated ID (of the terminal side and / or the network side device), and when the model is inferred, the terminal selects or the network side indicates to use the model trained using the associated ID (of the terminal side and / or the network side device).
