[0002] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411448752.4, filed on October 16, 2024, entitled “Data Reporting Method, First Terminal, First Device, Storage Medium and Product”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communications, and particularly to a data reporting method, a first terminal, a first device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. Background Technology

[0004] Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already achieved corresponding gains in beam management within the design framework of 5G, demonstrating considerable application prospects. Release (R) 19 has initiated a project on wireless AI, with research content including three major use cases: Channel State Information (CSI) feedback, beam management, and positioning, as well as AI model deployment, inference, updating, and simulation evaluation methods. Here, a typical use case for AI beam management is spatial beam prediction; AI-enabled spatial beam prediction can predict the L1-RSRP of all beam pairs by measuring the L1-Reference Signal Receiving Power (L1-RSRP) of some beam pairs, and select the optimal beam for reporting.

[0005] It should be noted that the optimal beam predicted and reported by the terminal each time may contain beams that have not been measured, and the Quality of Service Class Identifier (QCL) parameter of the unmeasured beam is also unknown; while the base station needs to perform beam indication and other related operations based on the beam's QCL parameter.

[0006] Therefore, if the base station receives information related to a beam with unknown QCL parameters, it needs to reconfigure the RRC parameters to indicate the relevant beam measurement. Furthermore, the optimal beam may change after each prediction by the terminal, so the base station needs to frequently reconfigure the RRC parameters, resulting in significant signaling overhead and latency.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this disclosure only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure.

[0056] Before explaining this disclosure, the following describes the spatial beam prediction method in the related art:

[0057] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an AI spatial beam prediction principle provided by related technologies. As shown in Figure 2, the information of a portion of the beam pairs (Set B) is input into the AI ​​model, and the information of all beam pairs (Set A) is predicted and output, thus reducing the terminal beam measurement overhead.

[0058] Specifically, firstly, training is performed on a large dataset; for example, the dataset contains millions of samples, each including the RSRP of all beams at a certain time. For transmit beam prediction, according to a certain receive beam assumption, during training, the measured RSRP of a small number of transmit beams is used as input to the AI ​​model, and the RSRP of all transmit beams is used as the label of the AI ​​model output. The parameters within the AI ​​model are continuously updated through the gradient descent algorithm until the error between the AI ​​model output labels (which can be measured by the normalized mean squared error (NMSE)) is less than a threshold. At this point, the model converges and has good predictive ability. After the AI ​​model is trained, during terminal-side inference, assuming the base station has 64 transmit beams (Set A), and the base station is configured with 8 Channel State Information Reference Signals (CSI-RS) (Set B), with a reference signal period of 80ms, the terminal measures the L1-RSRP of the 8 beams at each time step. The terminal uses the measured 8 L1-RSRPs as input to the AI ​​model. Based on the AI ​​model, it predicts the L1-RSRPs of 64 beams. The terminal reports the CSI-RS Resource Indicators (CRIs) and L1-RSRPs of the K beams with the best RSRPs in all beam sets Set A. The base station, based on the RSRP values ​​of the Top K beams and beam load, instructs one of these beams to communicate with the terminal. However, some of the Top K beams in Set A reported by the terminal each time inference may be unmeasured beams, and the QCL parameters of these unmeasured beams are unknown. The base station needs to perform beam indication and determine the beam used for data transmission based on the known QCL parameters of the beams. Therefore, related technologies often use the following two methods to solve the problem of unmeasured beams among the beams received by the base station.

[0059] The first method involves the base station measuring the Top K beam aperiodically, converting the unknown transmission configuration indicator (TCI) into a known TCI, and then performing beam indication.

[0060] The second method involves the base station directly activating the TCI corresponding to the Top K beam, including unknown TCIs. During activation, aperiodic Top K beam measurements are triggered to convert unknown TCIs into known TCIs before beam indication. Here, beam indication is based on a unified TCI framework. The Radio Resource Control (RRC) configures 128 TCI states. The Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) activates multiple TCI states, and downlink control information (DCI) indicates one TCI state, or the MAC CE indicates one TCI state. Furthermore, for aperiodic CSI-RS reporting on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the RRC configures 128 trigger states. The MAC CE + DCI triggers one trigger state at a time, and each trigger state contains a maximum of 16 CSI-report configurations.

[0061] It should be noted that, according to the aperiodic CSI reporting framework in related technologies, DCI triggers a trigger state, and a trigger state triggers up to 16 reportconfigs. Each reportconfig is associated with an aperiodic resource set, and the DCI simultaneously triggers the transmission of the aperiodic resource set. Since the Top K beams may change after each inference iteration, the base station needs to frequently reconfigure RRC parameters to update the Top K beam resource set, resulting in significant signaling overhead and latency.

[0062] Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating a data upload method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the method is applied to the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, and the method includes:

[0063] Step 301: The first terminal, namely the terminal device 110 in Figure 1, sends the first message.

[0064] The first message includes K pieces of first information reported by the first terminal; K is a positive integer.

[0065] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first message is sent in the following ways: in-band, out-of-band, media, signaling, data, message, control plane, user plane, etc.

[0066] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first message may be a CSI report, used to report relevant information about the Top K beams predicted by the terminal. Here, the K pieces of first information refer to the relevant information about the Top K beams; the relevant information about the beams includes signal quality indicating the beams, beam index or identifier, beam angle, or other information used to describe the beams.

[0067] This disclosure does not limit the number of Top K beams; the number of beams can be one or more, which can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0068] Step 302: The first device, namely network device 120 in Figure 1, receives the first message.

[0069] Step 303: Based on K pieces of first information, the first terminal performs one or more of the following operations:

[0070] The first terminal assumes that at least one of the K first pieces of information corresponds to a resource that is sent;

[0071] The first terminal measures the resource corresponding to at least one of the K pieces of first information;

[0072] The second message sent by the first terminal includes channel quality information corresponding to at least one of the K first pieces of information.

[0073] The second message is of the same type as the first message, and the first message and the second message are related, either belonging to the same channel status information report or carried on the same uplink channel.

[0074] It should be noted that the first device receives the second message.

[0075] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the number of second messages can be one or more. The second message is information following the first information, and can include only channel quality information corresponding to at least one of the first information, that is, the second message can be a supplementary message to the first message; or it can include other first information that is different from the K first information.

[0076] It should be noted that after sending K first pieces of information, the first terminal spontaneously and quickly completes supplementary measurement of at least one of the reported K first pieces of information and reports the resources of at least one first piece of information. This helps the subsequent information sent by the base station to the terminal to quickly indicate the beam for uplink and downlink transmission.

[0077] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal assumes that at least one resource corresponding to the first information is sent. In the case that the terminal actually sends at least one first information, it first obtains at least one first information. If the terminal fails to obtain at least one first information, it will trigger the measurement of at least one first information, thereby obtaining at least one first information, and then sending it.

[0078] In this embodiment of the disclosure, channel quality information can refer to parameters used to describe the quality of the beam, which may include, but is not limited to, any one or a combination of the following: for example, L1-RSRP, L1-Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), L1-Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), L1-Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), or other Layer 1 measurement parameters used to describe signal quality.

[0079] It should be noted that steps 302 and 303 can be executed simultaneously, and step 303 can also be executed before step 302.

[0080] The data reporting method provided in this disclosure includes: a first terminal sending a first message; wherein the first message includes K first pieces of information reported by the first terminal; a first device receiving the first message; the first terminal performing one or more of the following operations based on the K first pieces of information: the first terminal assuming that at least one resource corresponding to the K first pieces of information is sent; the first terminal measuring the resource corresponding to at least one of the K first pieces of information; a second message sent by the first terminal including channel quality information corresponding to at least one of the K first pieces of information; wherein the second message is of the same type as the first message, and the first message and the second message are related, either belonging to the same channel state information report, or carried on the same uplink channel. In other words, this disclosure enables the first terminal to infer and report K first pieces of information, i.e., Top K beams, and the terminal can spontaneously and quickly complete the measurement of the Top K beams and the reporting of the corresponding beam quality. The base station does not need to frequently reconfigure RRC parameters to configure Top K beam measurements, facilitating subsequent rapid beam indication based on the Top K beams.

[0081] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a data upload method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the method is applied to the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, and the method includes:

[0082] Step 401: The first terminal sends the first message.

[0083] The first message includes K pieces of first information reported by the first terminal; K is a positive integer.

[0084] Step 402: The first device receives the first message.

[0085] Step 403: Based on the K pieces of first information, the first terminal determines M pieces of first information that satisfy the first condition.

[0086] Where M is an integer less than or equal to K and greater than or equal to 0.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first terminal determines M pieces of first information that are associated only with the second resource set and not with the first resource set, based on K pieces of first information; wherein, the first message is associated with the first resource set and the second resource set; the first resource set includes resources for channel measurement, and the second resource set is associated with the reported content; for example, the second resource set includes resources that can be used for message reporting, such as available subframes and subsequently available channels.

[0088] In some embodiments, based on K pieces of first information, the first information whose corresponding resources are only included in the second resource set and not included in the first resource set is determined to be M pieces of first information that satisfy the first condition.

[0089] It should be noted that step 403 can be executed before step 402, after step 402, or simultaneously. This disclosure does not specifically limit the execution order of steps 402 and 403.

[0090] Step 404: If M is greater than 0, the first terminal performs one or more of the following operations:

[0091] The first terminal assumes that the resources corresponding to N out of M first messages are sent; where N is less than or equal to M; if N equals M, then it is assumed that the resources corresponding to M first messages are sent.

[0092] The first terminal measures the resources corresponding to N of the M pieces of first information; if N equals M, then it is assumed that the resources corresponding to the M pieces of first information are measured.

[0093] The first terminal sends J second messages, each containing channel quality information corresponding to N of the M first messages; the first device receives J second messages. If N equals M, then the J second messages sent contain channel quality information corresponding to the M first messages; J is a positive integer; the second messages are of the same type as the first messages, and the first and second messages are related, either belonging to the same channel status information report or carried on the same uplink channel.

[0094] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if M equals 0, then it is determined that none of the K pieces of first information need to be measured again.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first terminal selects the N first pieces of information that have the largest corresponding channel quality information or the first pieces of information that are sorted first based on M pieces of first information.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first terminal receives first indication information; wherein the first indication information is used to indicate information of N first pieces of information out of M first pieces of information, such as identification information, or to indicate resource information corresponding to the N first pieces of information. Here, the first indication information may be sent by the first device.

[0097] In some embodiments, after a time interval following the first message, the first terminal assumes that resources corresponding to N of the M first messages have been sent, or measures N of the M first messages. Here, the time interval is indicated by the first device or preset.

[0098] In some embodiments, on the first time slot or symbol after a time interval following the first indication information, it is assumed that resources corresponding to N of the M first messages are sent, or N of the M first messages are measured.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first terminal receives second indication information; wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that, after a time interval following the transmission time of the second indication information, resources corresponding to N of the M first pieces of information are transmitted, or N of the M first pieces of information are measured. Here, the second indication information may be transmitted by the first device.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first terminal assumes that resources corresponding to N of the M first messages are sent, or measures N of the M first messages, based on the most recent message before the reference point at the current time; wherein, the reference point at the current time is the first time slot or symbol before the time interval before the current time.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first terminal receives third indication information; wherein the third indication information is used to indicate the number of times resources corresponding to N of the M first pieces of information are sent, or to measure the number of times N of the M first pieces of information are sent, or to indicate the stop time of sending resources corresponding to N of the M first pieces of information, or to measure the stop time of N of the M first pieces of information. Here, the third indication information may be sent by the first device.

[0102] In some embodiments, the measurement resources corresponding to the second message include R+N resources or R-T+N resources; wherein R corresponds to the total number of resources in the first resource set; N is the number of resources corresponding to N first messages out of M first messages; and T is the number of resources that do not need to be measured.

[0103] Here, the first terminal determines the number of resources in the first resource set that do not need to be measured based on the channel quality information corresponding to each resource in the first resource set; or, the first terminal determines the number of resources in the first resource set that do not need to be measured based on the arrangement position of each resource in the first resource set within the first resource set; or the first terminal determines the number of resources in the first resource set that do not need to be measured based on the resource index corresponding to each resource in the first resource set.

[0104] In some embodiments, the first terminal reports a second message based on the measurement resources and the second resource set corresponding to the second message; wherein the reported content of the second message includes P pieces of first information; the P pieces of first information are associated with the measurement resources corresponding to the second message or with the second resource set; or, N pieces of the P pieces of first information are associated with N measurement resources in the measurement resources corresponding to the second message, and the remaining PN pieces of first information are associated with the second resource set, where P is a positive integer.

[0105] Here, the measurement resource corresponding to the second message is the updated measurement resource set; that is, the second message is reported based on the updated measurement resource set and the second resource set.

[0106] In some embodiments, P may be the same as or different from K.

[0107] In some embodiments, the first terminal sends a second message including channel quality information corresponding to N first pieces of information based on the most recent message before the reference point of the first message or the second message; and sends or starts sending the channel quality information including N first pieces of information in the first message after a time interval after the first message; wherein, the reference point of the first message or the second message is the first time slot / symbol of a time interval before the message reporting time.

[0108] In some embodiments, if the first message is a periodic or semi-persistent message, in the S-th to S+J-1-th messages following the first message, the first terminal sends a second message including channel quality information corresponding to N pieces of first information; where S is a positive integer.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first terminal sends a second message containing channel quality information corresponding to N pieces of first information, based only on the most recent message preceding the first message or the second message.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first terminal sends a second message including channel quality information corresponding to N first messages, according to the reporting information of all message transmission timings before the reference point.

[0111] It should be noted that the descriptions of the same steps and contents as in other embodiments in this embodiment can be found in the descriptions in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0112] The following will describe an exemplary application of the embodiments of this disclosure in a practical application scenario.

[0113] The terminal reports the first CSI report to the base station, and based on the content of the first CSI report, determines the reported measurement resources, reported quantity, or reported content of at least one CSI report after the reporting time of the first CSI report.

[0114] Here, the first CSI report is periodic or semi-continuous. The first CSI report reports the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to K resources, that is, the first CSI report reports K pieces of first information. The first CSI report is associated with a first resource set, which is used for channel measurement; and it is also associated with a second resource set, which is associated with the reported information.

[0115] It should be noted that if at least one of the K first pieces of information reported by the terminal satisfies the following condition: it is associated only with the second resource set and not with the first resource set (or, the resource associated with the first piece of information does not belong to the first resource set), then at least one first piece of information is recorded as M first pieces of information, and starting from a certain time point or within a certain time interval after the first CSI report is reported, the terminal performs at least one of the following actions:

[0116] Action 1: The terminal assumes that the resources corresponding to N (N≤M) of the M first messages are sent.

[0117] Action 2: The terminal measures the resources corresponding to N of the M first pieces of information.

[0118] Action 3: In the J CSI report reports following the first CSI report, the terminal reports the channel quality information of the resources corresponding to N of the M first information. The channel quality information can be L1-RSRP or L1-SINR.

[0119] It should be noted that the method for selecting N pieces of first information from M pieces of first information is as follows:

[0120] 1) Among M pieces of initial information, the N pieces of initial information are the largest;

[0121] 2) Among the M pieces of information, the N pieces that appear first in the UCI sorting order;

[0122] 3) The base station indicates N of them through MAC CE or DCI; that is, the base station updates the configuration information of the CSI report through MAC CE or DCI. For example, after the update, the first resource set associated with the CSI report contains N resources corresponding to the first information.

[0123] 4) The source RS associated in the TCI state indicated by MAC CE or DCI includes N resources corresponding to the first information.

[0124] It should be noted that the method for defining the occurrence time of action 1 or action 2 is as follows:

[0125] Method 1: After the first CSI report, there is a time interval, the unit of which is a time slot, symbol, or ms, and it is predefined or indicated by the base station;

[0126] Method 2: After the first CSI report, if the source RS associated with the TCI state indicated by the MAC CE or DCI includes N resources corresponding to the first information, then the occurrence time is the first slot or symbol after a time interval following the positive HARQ-ACK corresponding to the MAC CE or DCI. This time interval is in slots, symbols, or milliseconds. Here, the positive HARQ-ACK corresponding to the DCI is in DCI format 1_1 / 1_2. When the DCI does not include DL-SCH, the UE will send the positive HARQ-ACK corresponding to this DCI on the PUCCH or PUSCH. When the DCI includes DL-SCH, the UE will send the positive HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled by this DCI on the PUCCH or PUSCH.

[0127] Method 3: The base station instructs the terminal to start executing action 1 or action 2 one time interval after the DCI transmission time via DCI; here, the time interval can be determined by the DCI instruction information and RRC configuration information.

[0128] Method 4: The base station instructs the terminal to start executing action 1 or action 2 one time interval after the MAC CE is sent; here, the time interval can be determined by protocol predefinition and / or RRC configuration.

[0129] It should be noted that the termination time of action 1 or action 2 is defined as follows:

[0130] Method 1: The terminal performs either action 1 or action 2 only according to the most recent CSI report before the reference point corresponding to the current time; where the reference point is the first slot / symbol before the current time interval, which is determined by UE capabilities and / or protocol predefined.

[0131] Method 2: The base station instructs the terminal to perform action 1 or action 2 several times after a time interval following the DCI or MAC CE transmission time, and terminates the operation after the number of times is reached.

[0132] Method 3: The base station instructs the terminal to terminate action 1 or action 2 via DCI or MAC CE.

[0133] It should be noted that the measurement behavior in action 3 is as follows:

[0134] Method 1: In addition to measuring all resources in the original first resource set, the terminal will also measure the resources corresponding to N first information (assuming there are R resources in the original first resource set, then the terminal needs to measure R+N resources in total); that is, the first resource set has been increased to include the resources corresponding to the above N first information.

[0135] Method 2: In addition to measuring the original RT resources (T≥0) in the first resource set, the terminal will also measure the resources corresponding to N pieces of first information. Meanwhile, the original T resources in the first resource set will not be measured (in this case, the terminal needs to measure a total of R-T+N resources). If T=N, then the terminal needs to measure a total of R resources; that is, the first resource set removes the aforementioned T resources and adds the aforementioned N resources corresponding to the first information.

[0136] The methods for determining the T resources are as follows: The terminal determines them according to the channel quality information corresponding to each resource in the original first resource set (e.g., the T resources with the lowest or highest channel quality information); or, the terminal determines them according to the arrangement position of each resource in the original first resource set within the first resource set (e.g., the T resources with the earlier or later arrangement positions); or, the terminal determines them according to the resource index corresponding to each resource in the original first resource set (e.g., the T resources with the largest or smallest resource index values).

[0137] Here, Method 2 can also support accumulation, that is, the terminal will measure the resources corresponding to the N first information corresponding to multiple CSI report occasions in the past (specifically, their intersection, union, subset, etc.), and at the same time, it will not measure the T resources corresponding to each of the multiple CSI report occasions in the past (specifically, their intersection, union, subset, etc.).

[0138] It should be noted that in action 3, the reporting behavior is as follows: the terminal determines the reporting content based on the updated measurement resource set and the second resource set.

[0139] Reporting method 1: The terminal reports K pieces of first information, which can be associated with the updated measurement resource set or with the second resource set.

[0140] Reporting Method 2: The terminal reports K pieces of first information, of which N pieces of first information are associated with the above N measurement resource sets, and the remaining KN pieces of first information are associated with the second resource set.

[0141] It should be noted that the timing of action 3 is as follows:

[0142] Method 1: The terminal performs action 3 only according to the most recent CSI report before the reference point corresponding to this CSI report; and the terminal performs action 3 only starting from the first CSI report after a first time interval following this CSI report; wherein, the reference point is the first slot / symbol of a second time interval before the CSI report reporting time, and this second time interval is determined by UE capability and / or protocol predefined; the second time interval is determined by base station configuration and / or protocol predefined.

[0143] For example, as shown in Figure 5, if the first time interval is 3 CSI report Occasions and the second time interval is 2 CSI report Occasions, and CSI report Occasion #4 corresponds to this CSI report, then the reference point of CSI report Occasion #4 corresponds to the reference time for Occasion #4 shown in Figure 5. The most recent CSI report before the reference point of this CSI report corresponds to CSI report Occasion #1, and the first CSI report after this CSI report, one time interval later, corresponds to CSI report Occasion #4. That is, action 3 is executed at the time corresponding to CSI report Occasion #4.

[0144] If the first time interval is 2 CSI report Occasions and the second time interval is 1 CSI report Occasion, and CSI report Occasion #3 corresponds to this CSI report, then the reference point for CSI report Occasion #3 corresponds to the Reference Time for Occasion #3 shown in Figure 5. The most recent CSI report before the reference point of this CSI report corresponds to CSI report Occasion #1, and the first CSI report after the first time interval after this CSI report corresponds to CSI report Occasion #3. That is, action 3 is executed at the time corresponding to CSI report Occasion #3.

[0145] Alternatively, CSI report Occasion #5 corresponds to this CSI report. Then, the reference point of CSI report Occasion #5 corresponds to the Reference Time for Occasion #5 shown in Figure 5. The most recent CSI report before the reference point of this CSI report corresponds to CSI report Occasion #3. The first CSI report after the first time interval after this CSI report corresponds to CSI report Occasion #5. That is, the timing corresponding to CSI report Occasion #5 is when action 3 begins to be executed.

[0146] Method 2: For periodic or semi-continuous CSI reports, the terminal performs action 3 on the Sth to S+J-1th CSI reports following the initial CSI report.

[0147] Method 3: When the RRC is configured with the "time Restriction" parameter, the terminal will only perform action 3 based on the most recent CSI report occasion before this CSI report; when the RRC is not configured with the "time Restriction" parameter, the terminal will perform action 3 based on the reporting information of all CSI report occasions before the reference point.

[0148] In this disclosure, after the terminal reports the Top K optimal beam using a certain CSI report, the base station does not need to reconfigure or trigger a new CSI report based on the reported content. The terminal can use this CSI report to supplement the measurement of the beam quality in Top K, which can reduce the overhead of base station RRC reconfiguration or DCI, MAC CE indication. Furthermore, since reconfiguring or triggering a new CSI report will also take a lot of time, it can also help the terminal quickly measure the potential optimal beam, which helps the base station to indicate to the terminal that this beam is used for uplink and downlink transmission.
