[0001] Cross-references to related applications
[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510087857.X, filed on January 20, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a performance monitoring method and terminal. Background Technology
[0004] When monitoring the performance of an AI unit, the performance monitoring result needs to be determined by comparing the inference result with the measurement result used for performance monitoring. The inference result does not need to be measured, but it corresponds to a time unit in time. At the same time, the measurement result used for performance monitoring needs to be measured and also corresponds to a time unit. How these two time units are related in time is not yet clearly defined.
[0005] In related technologies, the most recent inference result of the measurement results used for performance monitoring is used. If the measurement results used for performance monitoring take a particularly long time, especially when there are many beam resources used for performance monitoring, the inference result found will be far away, which will lead to a decrease in the performance of performance monitoring. However, this performance decrease is not caused by the performance problem of the AI unit itself, but by the resource configuration problem, which reduces the accuracy and effectiveness of performance monitoring.

[0032] First, the relevant technologies involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced:
[0033] I. Using AI methods for beam prediction:
[0034] Using the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) of a subset of beam pairs as input, the AI unit outputs the RSRP of all beam pairs. A beam pair consists of a transmit beam and a receive beam. Therefore, the number of inputs to the AI unit is the number of selected partial beam pairs, and the number of outputs is the total number of beam pairs.
[0035] Additional methods to enhance beam prediction performance include adding correlation information to the input side. This correlation information typically includes angle-related information and beam ID information corresponding to the selected beam pairs used for input. Therefore, the number of inputs to this AI unit is still related to the number of selected beam pairs, while the number of outputs remains equal to the total number of beam pairs.
[0036] For time-domain prediction, the output of the AI unit may correspond to results over multiple future periods.
[0037] It should be noted that the inputs and outputs of the above AI units are only provided as examples to aid understanding.
[0038] II. Regarding beam measurement and beam reporting
[0039] Analog beamforming is transmitted across the full bandwidth, and each polarization element on the panel of each high-frequency antenna array can only transmit an analog beam in a time-division multiplexed manner. The beamforming weights of the analog beam are achieved by adjusting the parameters of devices such as the RF front-end phase shifter.
[0040] Currently, in academia and industry, a polling method is commonly used to train simulated beamforming vectors. This involves each element on each antenna panel, in each polarization direction, sequentially transmitting training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) at predetermined times using time-division multiplexing. The terminal then measures these signals and sends back a beam report, which the network-side equipment uses to implement simulated beam transmission in the next transmission. The beam report typically includes the identifiers of several optimal transmit beams and the measured received power of each transmit beam.
[0041] During beam measurement, the network configures a reference signal resource set (RS resource set), which includes at least one reference signal resource, such as a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource or a channel-state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource. The UE measures the Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP) / Layer 1 signal-to-noise ratio and interference ratio (L1-SINR) for each RS resource and reports at least one optimal measurement result to the network. The reported information includes the Synchronization Signal Block Resource Indicator (SSB RI) or the Channel-State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator (CSI-RS Resource Indicator, CRI), and the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR. This report reflects at least one optimal beam and its quality, allowing the network to determine the beam used to transmit channels or signals to the UE.
[0042] III. Performance Monitoring of the AI Unit
[0043] AI units can infer the optimal beam information and / or beam quality information for the current time, or for future time periods. However, the inferred optimal beam only represents the inference result; it cannot determine whether the result is correct, which corresponds to the accuracy of the AI unit's inference. Therefore, a performance monitoring process is needed to help the network or terminal assess the accuracy of the AI unit's inference, thereby ensuring network stability.
[0044] AI unit inference yields inference results. Further verification of these results requires obtaining performance monitoring label results. This can be achieved by measuring the entire set or a subset corresponding to the AI inference results to obtain optimal beam information and / or beam quality information. Finally, comparing the inference results with the label results used for performance monitoring determines whether a single performance monitoring result is accurate or meets requirements. Alternatively, long-term monitoring with multiple comparisons can confirm the accuracy and suitability of the performance monitoring results.
[0045] The current protocol configures a set of measurement resources in the performance monitoring report to obtain performance monitoring tags, and the performance monitoring report is configured or associated with a report for inference result reporting.
[0046] The AI unit described in this application embodiment may also be referred to as an AI model, AI structure, etc., or the AI unit may refer to a processing unit capable of implementing specific algorithms, formulas, processing flows, or capabilities related to AI, or the AI unit may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit for a specific dataset, or the AI unit may be a processing method, algorithm, function, module, or unit running on AI-related hardware such as a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Neural Processing Unit (NPU), Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This application embodiment does not specifically limit this. Optionally, the specific dataset includes the input and / or output of the AI unit.

[0054] ii. Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) uplink and downlink reciprocity. For FDD systems, based on partial reciprocity, the base station obtains angle and delay information from the uplink channel. This angle and delay information can be communicated to the UE via CSI-RS precoding or direct indication. The UE reports this information based on the base station's indication or selects and reports it within the indicated range, thereby reducing the UE's computational load and the overhead of Channel State Information (CSI) reporting.
[0055] d) Beam management. This includes beam measurement, beam reporting, beam prediction, beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, and new beam indication during beam failure recovery.
[0056] e) Channel prediction. This includes prediction of channel state information and beam prediction.

[0059] h) Positioning. The specific location (including horizontal and / or vertical position) or possible future trajectory of the UE is estimated using reference signals (e.g., SRS), or information for auxiliary position or trajectory estimation.
[0060] i) Forecasting and management of high-level business and parameters. This includes throughput, required packet size, business needs, mobility, noise information, etc.

[0069] The performance monitoring method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through some embodiments and application scenarios.
[0070] Figure 2 is a flowchart of one of the performance monitoring methods provided in the embodiments of this application. As shown in Figure 2, the performance monitoring method includes steps 200, 201 and 202.
[0071] Step 200: The terminal determines the first reference target;
[0072] Optionally, the first reference target can be understood as a reference target related to performance monitoring, that is, a reference target used to determine the measurement results of performance monitoring.
[0073] Performance monitoring can also be understood as performance supervision, performance determination, and determining performance information.
[0074] The performance monitoring mentioned above can be model monitoring, model performance monitoring, monitoring, performance supervision, performance determination, or determining performance information, etc. It is only used to indicate the function of monitoring model performance or system performance, and the specific terminology is not limited here.
[0075] It should be noted that performance can also refer to things like appearance.
[0076] Optionally, the reference target can be configured. The reference target can be reference information, reference position, reference information + offset, or reference position + offset.
[0077] For example, reference information could be a CSI report, a CSI reference resource corresponding to a CSI report, a resource corresponding to a CSI report, or a set of resources.
[0078] The reference location can be understood as the temporal location of the reference information.
[0079] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the terminal does not perform the action of determining the first reference target, but the terminal can understand and obtain the first reference target according to the protocol.
[0080] Step 201: The terminal determines the second reference target that is closest to the first reference target;
[0081] Optionally, the second reference target can be understood as a reference target related to reasoning, that is, a reference target used to determine the result of reasoning. Reasoning can also be replaced by prediction.
[0082] In some embodiments, the second reference target closest to the first reference target includes one of the following:
[0083] The second reference target that is closest to the first reference target and preceding the first reference target;
[0084] The second reference target is located after the first reference target and is the closest to the first reference target.
[0085] Step 202: The terminal determines the reporting information corresponding to the performance monitoring result or performance monitoring report based on the measurement result for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target and the inference result corresponding to the second reference target.
[0086] Understandably, the terminal uses the measurement results for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target as tag data and compares them with the inference results corresponding to the second reference target closest to the first reference target. This allows it to determine the performance monitoring results or the information to be reported in the performance monitoring report. The reported information can also be called feedback information.
[0087] It should be noted that the aforementioned performance monitoring report may be a report explicitly configured for reporting performance monitoring results in the feedback report, or a report implicitly indicated by means such as "report quantity" as a report for reporting performance monitoring results, or a report for reporting model monitoring results.
[0088] Optionally, the performance monitoring report is a Channel State Information (CSI) report used for performance monitoring.
[0089] In this embodiment of the application, by adding a first reference target to the measurement results used for performance monitoring, and then determining a second reference target that is closest to the first reference target, the reporting information corresponding to the performance monitoring results or performance monitoring report can be determined based on the measurement results used for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target and the inference results corresponding to the second reference target. This enables the measurement results used for performance monitoring to be accurately associated with the inference results, thereby improving the accuracy and effectiveness of performance monitoring.
[0090] Figure 3 is a second schematic flowchart of the performance monitoring method provided in this application embodiment. As shown in Figure 3, the performance monitoring method includes:
[0091] Step 300: The terminal determines the second reference target;
[0092] Step 301: The terminal determines the first reference target that is closest to the second reference target;
[0093] In some embodiments, the first reference target closest to the second reference target includes one of the following:
[0094] The first reference target that is closest to the second reference target and preceding the second reference target;
[0095] The first reference target is located after the second reference target and is closest to the second reference target.
[0096] Step 302: The terminal determines the reporting information corresponding to the performance monitoring result or performance monitoring report based on the measurement result for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target and the inference result corresponding to the second reference target.
[0097] Understandably, the terminal can first determine a second reference target related to inference, then determine a first reference target that is closest to the second reference target based on the second reference target, and then determine the reporting information corresponding to the performance monitoring result or performance monitoring report based on the measurement results for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target and the inference results corresponding to the second reference target.
[0098] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the terminal does not perform the action of determining the second reference target, but the terminal can understand and obtain the second reference target according to the protocol.
[0099] In this embodiment of the application, by determining a second reference target and then determining a first reference target that is closest to the second reference target, and based on the measurement results for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target and the inference results corresponding to the second reference target, the reporting information corresponding to the performance monitoring results or performance monitoring report is determined, so that the measurement results for performance monitoring can be accurately associated with the inference results, thereby improving the accuracy and effectiveness of performance monitoring.
[0100] In some embodiments, the first reference target includes at least one of the following:
[0101] First reference information, wherein the first reference information is reference information used to determine the performance monitoring results;
[0102] The first reference position is the time domain position corresponding to the first reference information;
[0103] First reference information and first offset;
[0104] First reference position and first offset.
[0105] It is understandable that the first reference target can be the first reference information, or the time domain position corresponding to the first reference information, or the first reference information and the first offset, or the time domain position corresponding to the first reference information and the first offset.
[0106] In some embodiments, the method for determining the first offset includes at least one of the following: protocol agreement, network configuration, network indication, and terminal reporting.
[0107] In this embodiment, the first reference target can be flexibly set, which improves the accuracy or effectiveness of performance monitoring while ensuring the flexibility of performance monitoring resources.
[0108] In some embodiments, the first reference information includes at least one of the following:
[0109] The performance monitoring report;
[0110] The Channel State Information (CSI) reference resource corresponding to the performance monitoring report;
[0111] The first resource set used for measurement corresponds to the performance monitoring report;
[0112] The performance monitoring report corresponds to the first resource in the first resource set used for measurement.
[0113] It is understandable that the performance monitoring report can be used as the first reference target, or the CSI reference resource corresponding to the performance monitoring report can be used as the first reference target, or the first set of resources used for measurement corresponding to the performance monitoring report can be used as the first reference target, or the first resource in the first set of resources can be used as the first reference target.
[0114] It should be noted that the first resource set can represent a single resource set or a list of resources, or it can represent multiple resource sets or lists of resources.
[0115] The first resource can represent a single resource, or a collection or list of resources.
[0116] Optionally, the first resource set is a set of reference signal resources used for performance monitoring or measurement, including one or more resources for obtaining channel state information, such as CSI-RS, SSB, TRS, SRS and other reference signal resources.
[0117] In some embodiments, the first resource includes at least one of the following:
[0118] The resource set with the smallest resource set ID in the first resource set;

[0121] The resource with the largest resource ID in the first resource set;
[0122] The resource set with the smallest resource set index in the first resource set;
[0123] The resource set with the largest resource set index in the first resource set;
[0124] The resource with the smallest resource index in the first resource set;
[0125] The resource with the largest resource index in the first resource set;
[0126] The earliest resource sent in the first resource set;
[0127] The last resource sent in the first resource set;
[0128] The resource in the first resource set that has the highest beam quality information;

[0228] In some embodiments, the performance monitoring report corresponding to the first reference target is associated with the inference report corresponding to the second reference target.
[0229] It is understandable that the CSI report corresponding to the first reference target is related to the CSI report corresponding to the second reference target.
[0230] For example, the CSI report corresponding to the first reference target is configured with the identification information (CSI report ID) of the CSI report used for inference corresponding to the second reference target.

[0258] For example, the terminal feedback suggests using the first reference target that is closest to the second reference target;
[0259] For example, terminal feedback suggests using the second reference target that is most recent before the first reference target;
[0260] For example, the terminal feedback suggests using the second reference target that is most recent after the first reference target.
[0261] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal can report events where the configuration of the first reference target or the second reference target is unreasonable, or it can report suggested first reference targets and / or second reference targets, thereby improving the effectiveness of performance monitoring.
[0262] The performance monitoring method provided in this application is further illustrated below through several specific embodiments.
[0263] Figure 4 is one of the schematic diagrams showing the relationship between the first reference target and the second reference target in the performance monitoring method provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0264] Step 1: Determine the first reference target: the symbolic starting position of the earliest sent resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report, such as arrow 401;
[0265] Definition of the second reference target: A performance monitoring CSI report is associated with an inference report, and the temporal location of a CSI reference resource can be determined based on the inference report, as shown by arrow 402.
[0266] Step 2: The terminal determines the nearest second reference target before the first reference target;
[0267] Step 3: Terminal determines performance monitoring results: The terminal obtains the measurement results for performance monitoring based on the measurement results corresponding to the current transmission occasion in the performance monitoring report. The current transmission occasion is the first occasion in the occasion set shown in Figure 4. The terminal also determines whether the model monitoring results are correct based on the inference results corresponding to the second reference target or the inference results associated with the inference report corresponding to the second reference target's transmission occasion. The specific method for determining the correctness of the performance monitoring results is not limited here.
[0268] It should be noted that the timing set includes at least one timing, and each timing corresponds to one or more reference signal resources, such as CSI RS resources.
[0269] The above steps can be described as follows: The terminal determines the feedback information of the performance monitoring CSI report based on the measurement results associated with the performance monitoring CSI report and the inference results corresponding to the transmission timing of the CSI reference resource corresponding to the nearest CSI report for inference before the symbol start position of the earliest sent resource in the resource set for performance monitoring corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report.
[0270] Figure 5 is a second schematic diagram showing the association between the first reference target and the second reference target in the performance monitoring method provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0271] Step 1: Determine the first reference target: Based on the resource set used for performance monitoring corresponding to this performance monitoring CSI report, specify the starting position of the resource symbol as shown by arrow 501. The specified resource ID or index can be indicated by the network configuration in the performance monitoring report.
[0272] Definition of the second reference target: The performance monitoring CSI report is associated with an inference report, and the temporal location of a CSI reference resource can be determined based on the inference report, as shown by arrow 502.
[0273] Step 2: Determine the second reference target: The terminal determines the nearest second reference target before the first reference target;
[0274] Step 3: Terminal determines performance monitoring results: The terminal obtains the measurement results for performance monitoring based on the measurement results corresponding to the current transmission occasion in the performance monitoring report. The current transmission occasion is the first occasion in the occasion set in Figure 5. The terminal also determines whether the model monitoring results are correct based on the inference results corresponding to the second reference target or the inference results associated with the inference report corresponding to the second reference target's transmission occasion. The specific method for determining the correctness of the performance monitoring results is not limited here.
[0275] The above steps can be described as follows: The terminal determines the feedback information of the performance monitoring CSI report based on the measurement results associated with the performance monitoring CSI report and the inference results corresponding to the time domain position of the CSI reference resource corresponding to the nearest CSI report for inference before the symbol start position of the resource in the resource set for measurement specified by the network.
[0276] Understandably, as shown in Figure 5, if the earliest resource sent in a monitoring set in Figure 4 is still used as the first reference target, the monitoring set of the Mth occurrence will correspond to the inference result of the (N-1)th inference report. Since the monitoring set of the Mth occurrence and the inference result of the (N-1)th inference report are far apart, this leads to a false decrease in the performance of non-AI units or in the performance monitoring results due to configuration issues.
[0277] The performance monitoring method provided in this application can be executed by a performance monitoring device. This application uses an example of a performance monitoring device executing the performance monitoring method to illustrate the performance monitoring device provided in this application.

As an example, the performance monitoring device may be a communication device or a component within a communication device, such as a chip.

[0279] The performance monitoring device includes a receiving module, a transmitting module, and a processing module. These modules can be implemented in software or hardware.

[0280] Specifically, referring to Figure 6, when the performance monitoring device is a terminal or a component in a terminal, the performance monitoring device 600 includes a first processing module 601 for determining a first reference target;
[0281] The first processing module 601 is further configured to determine the second reference target that is closest to the first reference target;

[0286] The first processing module 601 is further configured to determine the reporting information corresponding to the performance monitoring result or performance monitoring report based on the measurement result for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target and the inference result corresponding to the second reference target.
