[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510087858.4, 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.

[0035] First, the relevant technologies involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced:

[0036] I. Using AI methods for beam prediction:

[0037] Using the RSRP of a subset of beam pairs as input, the AI ​​unit outputs the RSRP results for 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] For time-domain prediction, the output of the AI ​​unit may correspond to results over multiple future periods.

[0040] It should be noted that the inputs and outputs of the above AI units are only provided as examples to aid understanding.

[0041] II. Regarding beam measurement and beam reporting

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] 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 (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.

[0045] III. Performance Monitoring of the AI ​​Unit

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] The current protocol configures a set of measurement resources in the performance monitoring report to obtain performance monitoring labels, and the performance monitoring report is configured or associated with a report for inference result reporting.

[0049] 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.

[0050] Optionally, the identifier of the AI ​​unit may be an AI model identifier, an AI structure identifier, an AI algorithm identifier, or an identifier of a specific dataset associated with the AI ​​unit, or an identifier of a specific scenario, environment, channel characteristics, or device related to the AI, or an identifier of a function, characteristic, capability, or module related to the AI. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0051] Optionally, the model input or output includes at least one of the following: reference signal, channel-bearing signal, channel state information, beam information, channel prediction information, interference information, positioning information, trajectory information, specified prediction information and management information, and control signaling;

[0057] 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. It can notify the UE of the angle and delay information through CSI-RS precoding or direct indication. The UE reports the information according to the base station's indication or selects and reports within the range indicated by the base station, thereby reducing the UE's computational load and the overhead of Channel State Information (CSI) reporting.

[0058] 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.

[0059] e) Channel prediction. This includes prediction of channel state information and beam prediction.

[0061] g) Interference suppression. This includes intra-cell interference, inter-cell interference, out-of-band interference, intermodulation interference, etc.

[0062] 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.

[0063] i) Forecasting and management of high-level business and parameters. This includes throughput, required packet size, business needs, mobility, noise information, etc.

Confidence-related information characterizes the reliability of a beam. Optionally, probability-related or confidence-related information can be obtained from the model output or determined based on the model output results; this is not limited here.

[0071] Angular information is related information used to represent angles or identities, such as angles, radians, index codes, ID values, and codes processed by additional AI units.

[0072] The performance monitoring method and terminal provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0073] 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.

[0074] Step 200: The terminal determines the first reference target;

[0075] 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.

[0076] Performance monitoring can also be understood as performance supervision, performance determination, and determining performance information.

[0077] 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.

[0078] It should be noted that performance can also refer to things like appearance.

[0079] Optionally, the reference target can be configured. The reference target can be reference information, reference position, reference information + offset, or reference position + offset.

[0080] 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.

[0081] The reference location can be understood as the temporal location of the reference information.

[0082] 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.

[0083] Step 201: The terminal determines the second reference target that is closest to the first reference target;

[0084] Optionally, the second reference target is a reference target related to the reasoning, i.e., a reference target used to determine the reasoning result. Reasoning can also be replaced by prediction.

[0085] In some embodiments, the second reference target closest to the first reference target includes one of the following:

[0086] The second reference target that is closest to the first reference target and preceding the first reference target;

[0087] The second reference target is located after the first reference target and is the closest to the first reference target.

[0088] 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] 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.

[0091] Optionally, the performance monitoring report is a Channel State Information (CSI) report used for performance monitoring.

[0092] 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 allows the measurement results used for performance monitoring to be accurately associated with the inference results, thereby improving the accuracy and effectiveness of performance monitoring.

[0093] 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:

[0094] Step 300: The terminal determines the second reference target;

[0095] Step 301: The terminal determines the first reference target that is closest to the second reference target;

[0096] In some embodiments, the first reference target closest to the second reference target includes one of the following:

[0097] The first reference target that is closest to the second reference target and preceding the second reference target;

[0098] The first reference target is located after the second reference target and is closest to the second reference target.

[0099] 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.

[0100] 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] 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.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first reference target includes at least one of the following:

[0104] First reference information, wherein the first reference information is reference information used to determine the performance monitoring results;

[0105] The first reference position is the time domain position corresponding to the first reference information;

[0106] First reference information and first offset;

[0107] First reference position and first offset.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first reference information includes at least one of the following:

[0112] a) The performance monitoring report mentioned above;

[0113] b) The Channel State Information (CSI) reference resource corresponding to the performance monitoring report;

[0114] c) The first set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the performance monitoring report;

[0115] d) The first measurement opportunity in the first set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the performance monitoring report;

[0116] e) The first reference signal resource in the first measurement opportunity within the first measurement opportunity set corresponding to the performance monitoring report;

[0117] f) Each measurement opportunity in the first set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the performance monitoring report;

[0118] g) The first reference signal resource in each measurement opportunity in the first set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the performance monitoring report;

[0119] The first monitoring occasion set includes one or more monitoring occasions, and each monitoring occasion corresponds to one or more reference signal resources for performance monitoring. The first monitoring occasion set can also be referred to as the performance monitoring occasion set or the monitoring occasion set.

[0120] It should be noted that the measurement timing refers to the timing of the transmission of the reference signal resources used for measurement.

[0121] It should be noted that the reference signal resources in this application are resources used to obtain channel state information, including CSI-RS, SSB, TRS, SRS, etc. These one or more reference information resources can be a resource list, a numbered list, or simply represented by a single identification information. Optionally, the one or more reference signal resources used for performance monitoring can be resources that are configured but not transmitted, or virtual resources; the specific name is not limited here.

[0140] The first measurement timing or a specific set of resources or specific resources in each measurement timing of the first measurement timing set.

[0141] In some embodiments, the specific resource set or specific resource is determined by at least one of the following: protocol agreement, network configuration, network indication.

[0142] For example, a resource ID or resource index may be indicated in the performance monitoring report or in the first set of measurement opportunities associated with the performance monitoring report to identify the specific resource.

[0143] Optionally, if the network does not configure or indicate a specific set of resources or a specific resource, then the default set of resources or resources is used. For example, the resource with the smallest resource index is used by default (the first resource is used by default), or the resource with the smallest ID in the resource set is used by default, or the resource that was sent earliest is used by default.

The time unit corresponding to the first reference information can also be understood as the transmission timing of the first reference information or the time position corresponding to the first reference information.

[0149] Optionally, the time unit described in the embodiments of this application can be one of the following: a transmission time unit, or a reception time unit, a transmission timing, or a reception timing.

[0174] The specific location of the time unit corresponding to the first reference signal resource in each measurement opportunity in the first measurement opportunity set corresponding to the performance monitoring report.

[0175] In some embodiments, the second reference target includes at least one of the following:

[0176] Second reference information, which is reference information used to determine the reasoning result;

[0177] The second reference position is the time-domain position corresponding to the second reference information;

[0179] Second reference position and second offset.

[0180] In some embodiments, the method for determining the second offset includes at least one of the following: protocol agreement, network configuration, network indication, and terminal reporting.

[0181] In the embodiments of this application, a second reference target can be flexibly set, which improves the accuracy or effectiveness of performance monitoring while ensuring the flexibility of inference resources.

[0182] In some embodiments, the second reference information includes at least one of the following:

[0183] Reasoning report;

[0184] The channel state information reference resource corresponding to the inference report;

[0185] The inference report corresponds to a set of inference opportunities, which includes one or more inference opportunities, and each inference opportunity corresponds to one or more reference signal resources used to determine the model input or output;

[0188] Each reasoning opportunity in the set of reasoning opportunities corresponding to the reasoning report;

[0189] The second reference signal resource in each inference opportunity in the inference opportunity set corresponding to the inference report.

[0190] It should be noted that the aforementioned inference report may be a report explicitly configured in the feedback report for reporting inference results, or a report implicitly indicated by means such as "report quantity" for reporting prediction results, or a report associated with a report used for model monitoring.

[0191] It is understood that inference timing refers to the timing of the transmission of one or more reference signal resources used to determine the model input or output. Inference timing can also be called prediction timing, inference prediction timing, transmission timing for inference, inference transmission timing, etc., and this application does not limit it in this way.

[0192] It should be noted that the reference signal resources in this application are resources used to obtain channel state information, including CSI-RS, SSB, TRS, SRS, etc. The aforementioned one or more reference information resources used to determine model input or output can be a resource list, a numbered list, or simply represented by a single identification information. Optionally, the one or more reference signal resources used to determine model input or output can be resources that are configured but not transmitted, or virtual resources; the specific name is not limited here.

[0193] Optionally, if one of the inference opportunities corresponds to one or more reference signal resources for determining the model output, the second reference information may further include at least one of the following:

[0194] The second set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the inference report includes one or more measurement opportunities, and each measurement opportunity corresponds to one or more reference signal resources for determining the model input;

[0195] The second measurement opportunity in the second measurement opportunity set corresponding to the reasoning report;

[0196] The third reference signal resource in the second measurement timing within the second measurement timing set corresponding to the inference report;

[0197] Each measurement opportunity in the second set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the reasoning report;

[0198] The third reference signal resource is in each measurement opportunity within the second set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the inference report.

[0199] It is understandable that the second set of measurement opportunities is related to the set of inference opportunities, and the set of inference opportunities can be determined through the second set of measurement opportunities in the inference report.

[0200] Optionally, the association, resource mapping, or temporal location between the second measurement timing set and the inference timing set can be implemented through at least one of the following methods: network configuration, protocol agreement, or terminal reporting. Specific implementation methods will not be discussed here. It is only assumed here that one second measurement timing set corresponds to one inference timing set.

[0201] Optionally, the first inference timing includes at least one of the following:

[0202] The earliest reasoning opportunity in the time domain within the set of reasoning opportunities;

[0203] The last inference opportunity in the time domain of the inference opportunity set;

[0204] The set of reasoning opportunities includes specific reasoning opportunities in the time domain.

[0205] Optionally, the specific reasoning timing can be determined by at least one of the following: protocol agreement, network configuration, network indication, or terminal reporting.

[0209] The resource with the smallest resource ID in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0210] The resource with the largest resource ID in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0211] The resource set with the smallest resource set index in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0212] The resource set with the largest resource set index in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0213] The resource with the smallest resource index in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0214] The resource with the largest resource index in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0215] The resource sent earliest in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0216] The resource sent last in the first inference time or in each inference time;

[0217] The resource with the maximum beam quality information in the first inference opportunity or in each inference opportunity;

[0218] The resource with optimal beam information in the first inference opportunity or each inference opportunity;

[0219] The first inference timing or a specific set of resources or specific resources in each inference timing.

[0220] Optionally, the specific set of resources or the specific resource can be determined by at least one of the following: protocol agreement, network configuration, or network indication.

[0221] Optionally, the second reference location includes at least one of the following:

[0222] The starting position of the time unit corresponding to the second reference information;

[0223] The end position of the time unit corresponding to the second reference information;

[0224] The specific location of the time unit corresponding to the second reference information.

[0225] It is understandable that the second reference position is the time domain position of the second reference information, which can be the start position, end position, or specific position of the time unit corresponding to the second reference information.

[0226] Optionally, the specific location can be determined by at least one of the following methods: protocol agreement, network configuration, network indication, or terminal reporting.

[0227] In this embodiment, a first reference target related to performance monitoring is first determined, and then a second reference target closest to the first reference target is determined. Alternatively, a second reference target related to inference is first determined, and then a first reference target closest to the second reference target is determined. This allows the reporting information corresponding to the performance monitoring result or performance monitoring report to be determined based on the measurement result for performance monitoring corresponding to the first reference target and the inference result corresponding to the second reference target. This enables the measurement result for performance monitoring to be accurately associated with the inference result, ensuring the flexibility of network configuration of inference resources and model monitoring resources while improving the accuracy or effectiveness of performance monitoring.

[0228] The reasoning results will infer (predict) multiple reasoning opportunities. The first set of measurement opportunities also includes multiple measurement opportunities. How to correlate measurement opportunities with reasoning opportunities is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0229] Based on the description of the first reference target and the second reference target in the foregoing embodiments, the association relationship between the first reference target and the second reference target can be divided into four cases:

[0230] Scenario 1: Using the timing set as the granularity, the first measurement timing set is associated with the reasoning timing set;

[0231] Scenario 2: Using timing as the granularity, the measurement timings in the first set of measurement timings are related to the reasoning timings in the first set of reasoning timings;

[0232] Scenario 3: The reasoning opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities are related to those in the set of reasoning opportunities;

[0233] Scenario 4: The measurement opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities are related to the inference opportunity set.

[0234] The four scenarios described above are described below.

[0235] Scenario 1:

[0236] In some embodiments, the first reference target and the second reference target have the following relationship:

[0237] The first reference target is the first set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the performance monitoring report, or the time-domain location corresponding to the first set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the performance monitoring report.

[0238] The second reference target is the set of inference opportunities corresponding to the inference report associated with the performance monitoring report, or the time domain location corresponding to the set of inference opportunities corresponding to the inference report associated with the performance monitoring report.

[0239] Optionally, the time-domain location corresponding to the first set of measurement opportunities includes at least one of the following:

[0240] The starting position of the time unit corresponding to the first measurement opportunity set;

[0241] The end position of the time unit corresponding to the first measurement opportunity set;

[0242] The specific location of the time unit corresponding to the first measurement opportunity set;

[0243] The time-domain location corresponding to the first measurement opportunity in the first set of measurement opportunities;

[0244] The temporal location of the first reference signal resource corresponding to the first measurement opportunity in the first measurement opportunity set.

[0245] Optionally, the number of measurement opportunities included in the first set of measurement opportunities is less than or equal to the number of inference opportunities included in the set of inference opportunities.

[0246] 1) When the number of measurement opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities is equal to the number of inference opportunities in the set of inference opportunities,

[0247] The measurement opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities have a one-to-one mapping relationship with the reasoning opportunities in the set of reasoning opportunities, or the measurement opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities have a one-to-one mapping relationship with the reasoning opportunities in the set of reasoning opportunities in sequence.

[0248] Alternatively, the mapping relationship between the measurement opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities and the inference opportunities in the set of inference opportunities is determined by at least one of the following methods: protocol agreement, network configuration, network indication, and terminal reporting.

[0249] It should be noted that in various embodiments of this application, the mapping relationship can be replaced by a relationship, a correspondence relationship, a resource mapping relationship, a temporal location relationship, etc.

[0250] 2) When the number of measurement opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities is not equal to the number of inference opportunities in the set of inference opportunities,

[0251] The mapping relationship between the measurement opportunities in the first set of measurement opportunities and the inference opportunities in the set of inference opportunities is determined by at least one of the following methods: protocol agreement, network configuration, network indication, and terminal reporting.

[0252] 2a) Optionally, the mapping relationship between the measurement opportunities in the first measurement opportunity set and the inference opportunities in the inference opportunity set is implicitly indicated in a sequential one-to-one correspondence manner. It is understood that the measurement opportunities in the first measurement opportunity set correspond sequentially to the inference opportunities in the inference opportunity set, and redundant inference opportunities in the inference opportunity set can be ignored.

[0253] 2b) Optionally, the mapping relationship between the measurement opportunities in the first measurement opportunity set and the inference opportunities in the inference opportunity set is explicitly indicated by first indication information, which is used to indicate the mapping relationship between each measurement opportunity in the first measurement opportunity set and the inference opportunities in the inference opportunity set.

[0254] In one embodiment, the first indication information is an inference timing indication bitmap, the length of which is equal to the number of inference timings contained in the inference timing set, and the number of enable positions in which the inference timing indication bitmap is equal to the number of measurement timings contained in the first measurement timing set.

[0255] The enable position here refers to the bit that is activated or enabled in the bitmap. For example, 1010 indicates that the first bit and the third bit are enabled positions, indicating that the first measurement opportunity in the first measurement opportunity set is associated with the first inference opportunity in the inference opportunity set, and the second measurement opportunity in the first measurement opportunity set is associated with the third inference opportunity in the inference opportunity set.

[0256] Optionally, the enable positions in the inference timing indicator bitmap are mapped to the measurement timing in a preset order.

[0257] Optionally, the preset order includes one of the following: configuration order, time order.

[0258] In another embodiment, the first indication information includes M first identity indication information, each measurement opportunity in the first measurement opportunity set is associated with one first identity indication information, and the first identity indication information is used to determine the inference opportunity corresponding to the associated measurement opportunity, where M is the number of measurement opportunities included in the first measurement opportunity set.

[0259] Optionally, the cost of a first identity indication is related to the number of inference opportunities, which can be Log2 (number of inference opportunities). Further optionally, it also needs to be rounded, including rounding up or rounding down.

[0260] 2c) Optionally, the mapping relationship between the inference timings in the inference timing set and the measurement timings in the first measurement timing set is explicitly indicated by second indication information, which is used to indicate the mapping relationship between each inference timing in the inference timing set and the measurement timings in the first measurement timing set.

[0261] In one embodiment, the second indication information is a measurement timing indication bitmap, the length of which is equal to the number of measurement timings included in the first measurement timing set, and the number of enable positions in the measurement timing indication bitmap is equal to the number of inference timings included in the inference timing set.

[0262] Optionally, the enable positions in the measurement timing indicator bitmap are mapped to the inference timing in a preset order, which includes one of the following: configuration order, time order.

[0263] In another embodiment, the second indication information includes N second identity indication information, and each reasoning opportunity in the inference opportunity set is associated with one second identity indication information. The second identity indication information is used to determine the measurement opportunity corresponding to the associated inference opportunity, and N is the number of inference opportunities included in the inference opportunity set.

[0264] Optionally, the cost of the second identity indication information is related to the number of measurement opportunities, and can be Log2 (number of measurement opportunities). Further optionally, it also needs to be rounded, including rounding up or rounding down.

[0265] In this embodiment, the association between the first reference target and the second reference target can be determined based on the mapping relationship between the first measurement timing set and the inference timing set. This ensures the flexibility of configuring inference resources and model monitoring resources in the network while improving the accuracy or effectiveness of performance monitoring.

[0266] Figure 4 is one of the schematic diagrams illustrating the relationship between the first reference target and the second reference target in the performance monitoring method provided in this application embodiment. As shown in Figure 4, a first measurement occasion set corresponds to one first reference target, and an inference occasion set corresponds to one second reference target. The measurement occasions in the first measurement occasion set and the inference occasions in the inference occasion set correspond one-to-one.

[0267] Assuming the second measurement opportunity set contains two measurement opportunities, the AI ​​unit will use the measurement results corresponding to these two historical measurement opportunities to determine the model input and then perform model inference, obtaining the inference result corresponding to the inference opportunity set. This inference opportunity set contains prediction results corresponding to two future opportunities. It should be noted that the information regarding the number of measurement opportunities in the second measurement opportunity set and the number of inference opportunities in the inference opportunity set is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation on the actual configuration.

[0268] The relationships between the second set of measurement opportunities and the set of inference opportunities, resource mapping, time-domain location, etc., are all assumed to be implemented according to at least one of the following methods: network configuration, protocol agreement, or terminal reporting. The specific implementation method is not limited. Here, it is only assumed that one set of second measurement opportunities corresponds to one set of inference opportunities.

[0269] First occasion:

[0270] Step 1: Determine the first reference target: The symbolic starting position of the earliest sent resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring within the first measurement occasion set corresponding to the first measurement occasion in the performance monitoring CSI report, as shown by arrow 401 in Figure 4. It should be noted that the performance monitoring CSI report is not shown in Figure 4; its specific time-domain location is configured by the network.

[0271] Definition of the second reference target: The performance monitoring CSI report is associated with an inference report, and the inference occasion set can be determined based on the inference report, or the inference occasion set can be determined by measuring the occasion set in the inference report. The second reference target is defined as the symbolic starting position of the first inference occasion in the inference occasion set, as shown by arrow 402 in Figure 4.

[0272] Step 2: Determine the second reference target: Determine the second reference target that is closest to the first reference target, as shown by the dashed arrow 403 in Figure 4. That is, as shown in Figure 4, the first monitoring occasion set and the first inference occasion set are associated.

[0273] Step 3: The terminal determines the performance monitoring results based on the information in the first monitoring occasion set and the associated first inference occasion set.

[0274] The Mth occasion:

[0275] Step 1: Determine the first reference target for the Mth occasion of the performance monitoring report: based on the symbol start position of the earliest sent resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring corresponding to the first measurement occasion in the monitoring occasion set corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report, such as arrow 404.

[0276] The second reference target is defined as follows: the performance monitoring CSI report is associated with an inference report, and the inference occasion set can be determined based on the inference report, or the inference occasion set can be determined by measuring the occasion set in the inference report. The second reference target is defined as the symbolic starting position of the first inference occasion in the inference occasion set, such as arrow 405 in the Nth inference occasion set and arrow 406 in the N+1th inference occasion set.

[0277] Step 2: Determine the second reference target: The terminal uses the nearest second reference target before the first reference target, as shown by dashed arrow 407. That is, as shown in the figure, the Mth monitoring occasion set and the N+1th inference occasion set are associated.

[0278] Step 3: The terminal determines the performance monitoring result based on the information in the Mth monitoring occasion Set and the associated N+1th inference occasion Set.

[0279] It should be noted that N and M are used because the cycle configurations for inference and performance monitoring are different. The use of M and N is to distinguish between the different occasions and does not constitute any limitation.

[0280] Figure 4 can be described as follows:

[0281] 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 associated inference CSI report;

[0282] The method for determining the inference result corresponding to the associated inference CSI report is as follows: the inference result is determined based on the symbol start position (i.e., the second reference target) of the first inference time in the inference occasion Set corresponding to the earliest sent resource in the resource set corresponding to the first measurement time in the performance monitoring CSI report.

[0283] Figure 5 is a second schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the first reference target and the second reference target in the performance monitoring method provided in this application embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the monitoring occasion set corresponds to one first reference target (the position definition of the first reference target is different from that in Figure 4), and the inference occasion set corresponds to one second reference target. The measurement timing in the monitoring occasion set and the inference timing in the inference occasion set correspond one-to-one.

[0284] The first occurrence (i.e., the first time performance monitoring was conducted):

[0285] Step 1: Determine the first reference target: Based on the symbol start position of the earliest sent resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring corresponding to the second measurement opportunity in the monitoring occasion set corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report, as shown by arrow 501 in Figure 5. The performance monitoring CSI report is not shown in the figure; its specific time domain location is configured by the network.

[0286] The second reference target is defined as follows: the performance monitoring CSI report is associated with an inference report, and the inference occasion set can be determined based on the inference report, or the inference occasion set can be determined by measuring the occasion set in the inference report. The second reference target is defined as the symbolic starting position of the first inference occasion in the inference occasion set, as shown by arrow 502 in Figure 5.

[0287] Step 2: Determine the second reference target: The terminal determines the nearest second reference target before the first reference target, as shown by the dashed arrow 503 in Figure 5. That is, as shown in Figure 5, the first monitoring occasion set and the second inference occasion set are associated.

[0288] Step 3: The terminal determines the performance monitoring results based on the information in the first monitoring occasion set and the associated second inference occasion set.

[0289] Figure 5 can be described as follows:

[0290] 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 associated inference CSI report;

[0291] The method for determining the inference result corresponding to the associated inference CSI report is as follows: the inference result is determined based on the symbol start position of the first inference occasion in the inference occasion set corresponding to the CSI report used for inference, which is the earliest sent resource in the resource set corresponding to the second measurement occasion in the monitoring occasion set corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report, before the symbol start position of the earliest sent resource.

[0292] Scenario 2:

[0293] In some embodiments, the first reference target and the second reference target have the following relationship:

[0294] The first reference target is the first measurement opportunity in the first set of measurement opportunities corresponding to the performance monitoring report, or the time-domain location corresponding to each measurement opportunity.

[0295] The second reference target is the first inference timing in the set of inference timings corresponding to the inference report associated with the performance monitoring report, or the time-domain position corresponding to each inference timing.

[0296] It is understandable that the relationship between the first reference target and the second reference target is realized at the per-occasion level.

[0297] Figure 6 is a third schematic diagram illustrating the association between the first reference target and the second reference target in the performance monitoring method provided in this application embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, a first measurement occasion set corresponds to two first reference targets, and an inference occasion set corresponds to two second reference targets. Each measurement occasion in the monitoring occasion set is associated with the inference occasion corresponding to the second reference target. It should be noted that the number of measurement occasions included in the monitoring occasion set and the number of inference occasions included in the inference occasion set are merely examples and do not constitute a limitation on the actual configuration.

[0298] First occasion:

[0299] Step 1: Determine the first reference target:

[0300] The first reference target in the monitoring occasion set corresponding to the first measurement opportunity in the monitoring occasion set corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report is the symbol starting position of the earliest sent resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring.

[0301] The symbol starting position of the earliest sent resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring in the monitoring occasion set corresponding to the second transmission time in the monitoring occasion set is used as the first reference target corresponding to the second measurement time in the monitoring occasion set.

[0302] Second reference target definition:

[0303] Each reasoning opportunity in the reasoning opportunity set corresponds to a second reference target for the reasoning result.

[0304] The performance monitoring CSI report is associated with an inference report, which can be used to determine the inference occasion set, or the inference occasion set can be determined by measuring the occasion set in the inference report.

[0305] The symbol starting position of the first transmission timing in the inference timing set serves as the second reference target for the first inference timing in the inference timing set;

[0306] The symbol starting position of the second transmission timing in the inference timing set serves as the second reference target for the second inference timing in the inference timing set.

[0307] Step 2: Determine the associated second reference target:

[0308] The terminal determines the inference time in the most recent inference occasion set as the second reference target based on the first reference target of the first measurement time of the first monitoring occasion set. That is, the first measurement time of the first monitoring occasion set and the first inference time of the first inference occasion set are associated.

[0309] The terminal determines the inference timing in the most recent inference occasion set as the second reference target based on the first reference target of the second transmission timing of the first monitoring occasion set. That is, the second transmission timing of the 1st monitoring occasion set is associated with the first transmission timing of the second inference occasion set.

[0310] Step 3: The terminal determines the performance monitoring results based on the information in the first monitoring occasion set and the associated inference occasion set (the occasion set associated with two inferences).

[0311] It should be noted that the correspondence between the transmission timing and the reference target is optional and configurable, but not necessarily one-to-one.

[0312] …

[0313] The Mth opportunity:

[0314] Step 1: Determine the first reference target:

[0315] The symbol starting position of the earliest transmitted resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring corresponding to the first transmission opportunity in the Mth monitoring occasion set corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report is used as the first reference target corresponding to the first measurement opportunity in the Mth monitoring occasion set.

[0316] The symbol starting position of the earliest transmitted resource in the resource set used for performance monitoring in the second transmission opportunity corresponding to the Mth monitoring occasion set corresponding to the performance monitoring CSI report is used as the first reference target corresponding to the second measurement opportunity in the Mth monitoring occasion set.

[0317] Second reference target definition:

[0318] The different inference occasions in the inference occasion set correspond to a second reference target. The performance monitoring CSI report is associated with an inference report, and the inference occasion set can be determined based on the inference report, or the inference occasion set can be determined by measuring the occasion set in the inference report.

[0324] The terminal determines the second reference target of the nearest inference occasion set based on the second node corresponding to the second transmission timing of the Mth monitoring occasion set, that is, the second measurement timing of the Mth monitoring occasion set is associated with the second inference time in the N+1th inference occasion set;

[0325] Step 3: The terminal determines the performance monitoring result based on the information in the Mth monitoring occasion set and the associated inference occasion set (the occasion set associated with two inferences).

[0326] It should be noted that the optional correspondence between transmission timing and reference target is configurable and does not necessarily correspond one-to-one.

[0327] It should be noted that determining the closest can be the closest before this point, the closest after this point, or it can be determined based on the distance between the closest points.
