[0063] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the relevant technologies of the embodiments of this application are described below. The following relevant technologies are optional solutions and can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application in any way, and they all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0064] (I) CSI Feedback in NR

[0065] In current NR systems, CSI feedback schemes typically employ codebook-based feature vector feedback to enable network devices to acquire downlink CSI. Specifically, the network device sends a downlink Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) to the user. The user uses the CSI-RS to estimate the downlink channel's CSI and performs eigenvalue decomposition on the estimated downlink channel to obtain its corresponding feature vector. NR provides various codebook formats, including Type I, eType II, and Doppler eType II, to meet different CSI feedback requirements in various scenarios with varying precision, overhead, and contexts. The Doppler eType II codebook allows users to extract time-domain relevance information from multiple measurement times, predict the channel state information at N4 (N4≥1) future times, and jointly compress and feed back the channel state information from these N4 predicted times to the network device.

[0066] Terminals can report CSI in three ways: periodic CSI, semi-persistent CSI, and aperiodic CSI.

[0067] Figure 2A is a schematic diagram of the periodic CSI reporting method. The periodic CSI is transmitted on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). Its CSI reporting configuration is configured by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. After receiving the corresponding RRC configuration, the terminal periodically reports the CSI.

[0068] Semi-persistent CSI can be transmitted on the PUCCH or the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). Figure 2B is a schematic diagram of semi-persistent CSI transmission on the PUCCH. The CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the CSI transmitted on the PUCCH is pre-configured by RRC signaling and activated or deactivated by Media Access Control (MAC) layer signaling, such as the MAC Control Element (MAC CE). Figure 2C is a schematic diagram of semi-persistent CSI transmission on the PUSCH. The CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the CSI transmitted on the PUSCH is dynamically indicated (activated or deactivated) by Downlink Control Information (DCI). After receiving the activation or indication signaling from the network configuration, the terminal periodically transmits CSI on the PUCCH or PUSCH until it receives the deactivation signaling and stops reporting.

[0069] Figure 2D is a schematic diagram of the non-periodic CSI reporting method. The CSI reporting configuration for non-periodic CSI reporting is pre-configured via RRC signaling. Part of this configuration can be activated via MAC layer signaling, and then the CSI trigger signaling in the DCI indicates the CSI reporting configuration used for CSI reporting. After receiving the CSI trigger signaling, the terminal reports the corresponding CSI on the scheduled PUSCH in one go according to the indicated CSI reporting configuration.

[0070] (ii) AI-based CSI feedback

[0071] In recent years, AI technology, relying on the development of different types of neural networks and machine learning (ML) algorithms, has been widely applied in various fields such as image, speech, and video processing. Typical neural network architectures include fully connected networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and Transformer structures with self-attention mechanisms, which can accomplish different task objectives. Drawing on the rapid development of AI technology, the combination of artificial intelligence and wireless communication technology has also attracted widespread interest from academia and industry. Extensive research, evaluation, and standardization work has been carried out on AI-based CSI feedback and prediction, beam management, and positioning technologies.

[0072] Given the tremendous success of AI technology, especially deep learning, in computer vision and natural language processing, the communications field has begun to explore its application to solve technical challenges that traditional communication methods struggle with. The neural network architectures commonly used in deep learning are non-linear and data-driven, enabling feature extraction from actual channel matrix data and, on the network device side, the reconstruction of the compressed channel matrix information from the UE (User Equipment) feedback as accurately as possible. This not only ensures accurate channel information reconstruction but also reduces CSI (Channel Signal Inquiry) feedback overhead on the UE side. Deep learning-based CSI feedback treats channel information as an image to be compressed, using a deep learning autoencoder to compress the input channel information and then reconstructing the compressed channel image at the transmitting end, thus preserving channel information to a greater extent.

[0073] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the AI-based CSI feedback framework. As shown in Figure 3, the main implementation framework of AI-based CSI feedback is as follows:

[0074] An AI-based CSI autoencoder method is adopted. The entire feedback system is divided into encoder and decoder parts, deployed on the user equipment and network equipment respectively. After obtaining channel information through channel estimation, the user equipment uses the channel information as input to the encoder. The encoder's neural network compresses and encodes the channel information, and the compressed feedback bitstream is fed back to the network equipment through the air interface feedback link. The network equipment uses the decoder to recover the channel information based on the feedback bitstream and outputs the complete feedback channel information. The neural networks of the encoder and decoder can adopt deep neural networks (DNNs) composed of multiple fully connected layers, CNNs composed of multiple convolutional layers, or RNNs with structures such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Various neural network architectures such as residual and self-attention mechanisms can also be used to improve the performance of the encoder and decoder.

[0075] The input to the encoder and the output of the decoder described above can both be full-channel information or feature vector information obtained based on full-channel information. Therefore, current deep learning-based CSI feedback methods are mainly divided into full-channel information feedback and feature vector feedback. While full-channel information feedback can achieve compression and feedback of full-channel information, it has a high feedback bitstream overhead. Feature vector-based feedback is the feedback architecture currently supported by NR systems, which can achieve higher CSI feedback accuracy with the same feedback bit overhead, or significantly reduce feedback overhead while achieving the same CSI feedback accuracy.

[0076] To further enhance the performance of AI-based CSI feedback, the temporal correlation between CSI responses at different times can be utilized to improve the compressed feedback performance of CSI. Specifically, different implementation methods can be mainly divided into the following two categories:

[0077] (1) AI-based joint spatial-frequency-time CSI compression feedback. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the AI-based joint spatial-frequency-time CSI compression feedback method. As shown in Figure 4, the encoder input on the user side includes not only the CSI measurement information at the current time (e.g., time t), but also the CSI (historical CSI) at past times (e.g., time t-1). This historical CSI is characterized by the feature output of the latent vector space of the encoder at past times and does not have explicit physical meaning. Similarly, the decoder input on the network side includes not only the feedback information at the current time, but also the CSI (historical CSI) at past times. This historical CSI is characterized by the feature output of the latent space of the decoder at past times and also does not have explicit physical meaning. For the feedback information at time t on the air interface, it not only implicitly represents the features of the CSI at the current time, but also includes some information features from the historical CSI that help recover the CSI at the current time, which can be used by the network side to better recover the CSI at the current time.

[0078] (2) AI-based Joint CSI Prediction and Compression. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the AI-based joint CSI prediction and compression feedback method. As shown in Figure 5, the user-side CSI prediction module takes the CSI measurement information (measured CSI) within the measurement window as input and outputs the predicted CSI at at least one time moment. The predicted CSI at at least one time moment is preprocessed (for example, the predicted CSI information is full-channel information, and SVD decomposition can be used to extract feature vectors of different layers for the CSI compression process) and then used as the input of the encoder. When the encoder input is CSI information at multiple time moments, the encoder output is joint feedback information, and the decoder can also recover the predicted CSI information at multiple time moments simultaneously. By extracting the correlation information of CSI at multiple time moments, the performance of CSI feedback can be further enhanced under the priority of air interface feedback overhead. Meanwhile, the user-side CSI prediction and CSI encoding compression process can adopt either the separate processing process shown in Figure 5, called separated prediction and compression (SPC); or a coupled processing process, that is, the part shown in the dashed box in Figure 5 can be completed by an AI model (e.g., an encoder) to achieve joint prediction and compression (JPC).

[0079] As can be seen, both of the above use cases use AI models to extract, compress, and utilize the correlation of CSI at multiple moments in order to further improve CSI feedback performance.

[0080] AI-based CSI feedback requires deploying models on both the network and user sides. To ensure link performance, model monitoring is necessary. Network-side model monitoring requires users to report label information to the network, enabling the network to compare the decoder output with the labels to evaluate the current performance of the AI / ML model. When performing joint prediction and feedback for CSI, model monitoring frameworks may encounter some problems. In SPC, there are two separate modules for CSI prediction and CSI compression. During model monitoring, the network's performance monitoring results cannot determine whether the problem stems from the performance of the CSI prediction model or the CSI compression model. Furthermore, for JPC implementations, how to achieve end-to-end joint performance monitoring of the two modules also needs to be addressed.

[0081] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application can solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0082] Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of a monitoring method performed by a terminal device according to an embodiment of this application. This method can optionally be applied to the system shown in Figure 1, but is not limited thereto. The method includes:

[0083] S610, The terminal device receives a second reference signal from the network device based on the second resource set; wherein, the second reference signal is used by the terminal device to determine the fourth channel information on the second resource set;

[0084] S620, The terminal device sends a second reporting information to the network device; wherein, the second reporting information is used by the network device to monitor the first model, and the first model is used by the terminal device to feed back the third channel information on the second resource set to the network device based on the first channel information on the first resource set; the second reporting information includes at least the fourth channel information and / or the first monitoring information for the first model determined based on the fourth channel information.

[0085] As can be seen, the above method can be applied to scenarios where network devices monitor the first model. For example, the function of the first model is as follows: using the first model, the terminal device can feed back third channel information on a second resource set to the network device based on first channel information on a first resource set. One implementation is as follows: the terminal device determines the first channel information on the first resource set through measurement, inputs the first channel information on the first resource set into the first model, and after processing by the first model and channel transmission, the network device receives the third channel information on the second resource set. In other words, the first model can be used to feed back channel information on different resource sets based on channel information on a specific resource set. For example, the first model can be used to feed back channel information on a resource set at a future time to the network device based on the channel information on the resource set at the current time; that is, the first model is used to achieve channel information prediction and feedback.

[0086] Optionally, the first model can be an AI / ML model trained using paired channel information. Here, the paired channel information refers to channel information on different resource sets.

[0087] Optionally, the first model may also include modules based on non-AI / ML implementations, such as non-AI / ML CSI prediction algorithms, such as Kalman filtering algorithms, autoregressive algorithms, etc.

[0088] To enable monitoring of the first model on the network device side, the monitoring method provided in this application embodiment involves the terminal device receiving a second reference signal from the network device based on a second resource set. That is, the network device sends a second reference signal on the second resource set. In this way, the terminal device can measure the fourth channel information on the second resource set based on the second reference signal. That is, the fourth channel information is the actual channel information on the second resource set. The terminal device reports the fourth channel information and / or the first monitoring information determined based on the fourth channel information to the network device through the second reporting information, which enables the network device to monitor the first model.

[0089] In one implementation, the second reported information includes fourth channel information. The network device can monitor the first model based on the third and fourth channel information. As explained above, the third channel information is the channel information on the second resource set fed back to the network device by the first model, while the fourth channel information is the actual channel information on the second resource set. Therefore, based on the third and fourth channel information, the network device can determine whether the first model can accurately feed back the actual channel information on the second resource set, thereby enabling the monitoring of the first model.

[0090] In another implementation, the second reported information includes a first monitoring result for the first model determined based on the fourth channel information. The first monitoring result may include monitoring indicators and / or monitoring results for the first model. For example, the terminal device may determine monitoring indicators based on the intermediate processing result output by the first model and the fourth channel information. The monitoring indicators may include indicators characterizing the difference or similarity between the intermediate processing result and the fourth channel information. The intermediate processing result may be the result obtained by the terminal device processing the channel information on the first resource set using a part of the first model (e.g., a part deployed in the terminal device). Alternatively, the terminal device may determine monitoring results based on the intermediate processing result output by the first model and the fourth channel information. The monitoring results may include information characterizing whether the first model or a part of the first model is in a normal / available state, for example, using 1 to indicate that the first model is available and 0 to indicate that the first model is unavailable. By reporting the first monitoring information, the network device can determine whether the first model or a part of the first model is normal, thereby achieving monitoring of the first model.

[0091] In another implementation, the second reported information includes the fourth channel information and the first monitoring result. Based on the third and fourth channel information, the network device can determine whether the first model can accurately reflect the actual channel information on the second resource set, and based on the first monitoring information, it can determine whether the first model or a part of the first model is normal, thereby realizing the monitoring of the first model.

[0092] For example, the second resource set may include resources across multiple dimensions, such as antenna ports, frequency domain resources, and time domain resources. For instance, the second resource set may be determined based on the quantity of resources across multiple dimensions, or based on a pattern configuration indicating the distribution of resources across multiple dimensions.

[0093] For example, the second reference signal may include CSI-RS, demodulation reference signal (DMRS), or phase-tracking reference signal (PTRS), etc.

[0094] The channel information in this embodiment includes the first channel information, the third channel information, the fourth channel information, etc., all of which can be used to characterize the channel state; therefore, they can also be referred to as CSI. Optionally, the channel information can be full channel information or feature vector information obtained based on full channel information.

[0095] According to the method of the embodiments of this application, the terminal device obtains the fourth channel information on the second resource set by receiving the second reference signal on the second resource set, and reports the fourth channel information and / or the first monitoring information determined based on the fourth channel information to the network device through the second reporting information. This can realize the monitoring of the first model used to feed back the third channel information on the second resource set on the network device side, which is beneficial to ensuring link performance.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first resource set includes K time slots, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 1; the second resource set includes N time slots, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; the N time slots follow the K time slots.

[0097] For example, in practical applications, the first resource set may include the current K time slots, and the second resource set includes N time slots after the K time slots, meaning the second resource set may include the future N time slots. In other words, the first model can be used to predict the second channel information in the future N time slots based on the first channel information in the current K time slots.

[0098] In some embodiments, the K time slots may include K time slots spaced at a first time interval T1, and the N time slots may include N time slots spaced at a second time interval T2. T1 and T2 may be the same or different.

[0099] In some embodiments, the time parameters of the first resource set and the second resource set, such as one or more of K, N, T1, T2 and the time domain offset between the first resource set and the second resource set, can be configured by the network device or pre-configured / predefined. The time domain offset between the first resource set and the second resource set can be the offset between the latest time slot in the first resource set and the earliest time slot in the second resource set, or it can be the offset between the earliest time slot in the first resource set and the earliest time slot in the second resource set, or it can be the offset between other predetermined time slots in the first resource set and other predetermined time slots in the second resource set. This application embodiment does not limit this to any particular type.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first model may include a first part deployed on the terminal device side and a second part deployed on the network device side. The input information of the first part includes first channel information on a first resource set, and the output information of the first part is transmitted over the air interface. The input information of the second part includes the output information of the first part received over the air interface, and the input information of the second part includes second channel information on a second resource set. Optionally, the first part and / or the second part may employ a neural network structure, such as DNN, CNN, RNN, etc.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7, in the first model, the first part deployed on the terminal device side includes a prediction module and an encoding module. The prediction module is used to output second channel information based on the input first channel information. The second channel information can be channel information on a second resource set; that is, the prediction module can be used for the conversion of channel information on different resource sets. The encoding module is used to output information for transmission over the air interface based on the second channel information, such as a feedback bitstream or floating-point numbers. Optionally, the terminal device can perform necessary processing on the second channel information output by the prediction module, such as preprocessing, before inputting it into the encoding module. That is, the encoding module is used to output information for transmission over the air interface based on the preprocessed second channel information. The second part deployed on the network device side can be understood as a decoding module, used to output third channel information on the second resource set based on the information received over the air interface. In this embodiment, the first part separates the channel information conversion process on different resource sets from the encoding process, i.e., it adopts a separate prediction and compression (SPC) approach.

[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8, in the first model, a first part deployed on the terminal device side is used to output information transmitted over the air interface based on the input first channel information, such as a feedback bit stream or floating-point numbers; a second part deployed on the network device side is used to output third channel information on the second resource set based on the information received over the air interface. In this embodiment, the channel information conversion process is coupled with the encoding process, i.e., joint prediction and compression (JPC) is used. For example, a neural network-based encoder structure can be used to implement joint prediction and compression.

[0103] In some embodiments, the monitoring method described above may further include:

[0104] The terminal device receives a first reference signal from the network device based on a first resource set; wherein the first reference signal is used by the terminal device to determine first channel information on the first resource set;

[0105] The terminal device sends a first reporting information to the network device; wherein, the first reporting information includes a first output information obtained by processing the first channel information using the first part of the first model; the first output information is used by the network device to determine the third channel information on the second resource set using the second part of the first model.

[0106] In other words, the above monitoring method may also include the application process of the first model. Optionally, this application process is performed before steps S610 and S620.

[0107] For example, the terminal device can receive a first reference signal based on a first resource set, determine the first channel information on the first resource set by measuring the first reference signal, and obtain the first output information using the first part of the first model, which may not have explicit physical meaning; the terminal device reports the first output information to the network device by transmitting the first reporting information, and the network device can process the first output information using the second part of the first model to determine the third channel information on the second resource set.

[0108] For example, the first output information may include a feedback bit stream or a floating-point number. For instance, in the channel information feedback of Joint Source-Channel Coding (JSCC), the information transmitted over the air interface may be a floating-point number.

[0109] Optionally, the terminal device can use the prediction module in the first part of the first model to process the first channel information to obtain the second channel information on the second resource set, and then use the coding module in the first part to process the second channel information to obtain the first output information.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first reporting information can be transmitted via PUCCH or PUSCH.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first reported information and the second reported information are associated. By setting the first reported information and the second reported information to be associated, the network device can determine that the second reported information is used to monitor the first model corresponding to the first reported information, or determine that the second reported information is associated with the third channel information obtained based on the first reported information, for use in conjunction with the third channel information to monitor the first model.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first reporting information and the second reporting information are transmitted using the same signaling. Based on this, the network device can associate the third channel information (obtained using the first reporting information and the first model) and the fourth channel information (obtained in the second reporting information) obtained based on the same signaling, thereby monitoring the first model based on the third channel information and the fourth channel information.

[0113] In some embodiments, the signaling includes uplink control information (UCI).

[0114] In some embodiments, a first reporting resource for transmitting first reporting information is associated with a second reporting resource for transmitting second reporting information.

[0115] Optionally, the first reporting resource refers to the resource used for channel information feedback; in practical applications, one or more first reporting resources can be configured. The second reporting resource refers to the reporting resource used for model monitoring; in practical applications, one or more first reporting resources can be configured.

[0116] Optionally, the first reported information and the second reported information can be reported in different UCIs. The network device can determine the association between the first reported information and the second reported information by means of the association between the first reported information and the second reported information.

[0117] In some embodiments, the monitoring method may further include: a terminal device receiving first configuration information from a network device; wherein the first configuration information is used to configure at least one second reporting resource, and to indicate a first reporting resource associated with each of the at least one second reporting resource.

[0118] According to this embodiment, the association between the first reporting resource and the second reporting resource can be configured using first configuration information for configuring the second reporting resource required for model monitoring. Specifically, each second reporting resource configured in the first configuration information is associated with one first reporting resource. Optionally, when model monitoring is not required, the network device may not configure the second reporting resource, i.e., it may not send the first configuration information. This reduces unnecessary configuration overhead.

[0119] Optionally, the first configuration information can be RRC configuration information.

[0120] In some embodiments, the monitoring method may further include: a terminal device receiving second configuration information from a network device; wherein the second configuration information is used to configure a plurality of reporting configuration sets; the plurality of reporting configuration sets include a first type of reporting configuration set for channel information feedback and a second type of reporting configuration set for model monitoring; the first type of reporting configuration set includes a first reporting resource; the second type of reporting configuration set includes the first reporting resource and the second reporting resource.

[0121] In other words, the network device configures two types of reporting configuration sets through the second configuration information. Optionally, when the second type of reporting configuration set is selected to be triggered, the terminal device reports the corresponding information on the first reporting resource and the second reporting resource in the set, respectively. The network device can determine that the first reporting resource and the second reporting resource in the same set are related, thereby determining that the first reporting information and the second reporting information transmitted on the corresponding resources are related.

[0122] In some embodiments, the terminal device sends a second reporting message to the network device, including:

[0123] Upon receiving a first activation instruction for activating the second type of reporting configuration set, the terminal device sends second reporting information to the network device based on the second reporting resource in the second type of reporting configuration set.

[0124] In other words, a specific reporting configuration set is selected / triggered by the network device issuing a first activation instruction. Optionally, the terminal device sends the first reporting information to the network device, including: upon receiving a first activation instruction for activating a second type of reporting configuration set, the terminal device sends the first reporting information to the network device based on the first reporting resource in the second type of reporting configuration set.

[0125] Optionally, upon receiving a first activation instruction for activating the first type of reporting configuration set, the terminal device sends first reporting information to the network device based on the first reporting resource in the first type of reporting configuration set. Furthermore, the terminal device may determine that model monitoring is not required, and therefore does not need to send second reporting information.

[0126] Optionally, the second configuration information may be RRC configuration information. The first activation indication may include MAC CE and / or DCI.

[0127] For example, multiple different reporting configuration sets can be pre-configured by RRC configuration information, including a first type of reporting configuration set and a second type of reporting configuration set; and activated by MAC CE, or MAC CE can select a portion of the reporting configuration sets for activation and dynamically triggered by DCI.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first resource set and the second resource set are associated. By establishing an association between the first reported information and the second reported information, the terminal device can determine that the second reference signal transmitted on the second resource set is the information required for model monitoring. For example, the fourth channel information measured based on the second reference signal on the second resource set is associated with the first channel information or second channel information corresponding to the first reference signal on the associated first resource set. The terminal device can then determine the first monitoring information based on the first channel information or second channel information and the associated fourth channel information.

[0129] In some embodiments, the monitoring method described above may further include: a terminal device receiving third configuration information from a network device; wherein the third configuration information is used to configure at least one first resource set, and for each of the at least one first resource set, to indicate a second resource set associated therewith.

[0130] According to this embodiment, the association between the first resource set and the second resource set can be configured using third configuration information for configuring the measurement configuration required for channel information feedback. Specifically, each first resource set configured by the third configuration information is associated with one second resource set. Optionally, when model monitoring is not required, the network device does not transmit reference signals on the second resource set, for example, it transmits data or does not transmit any signals on the second resource set; when model monitoring is required, the network device transmits reference signals on both the first and second resource sets.

[0131] Optionally, the association between the first resource set and the second resource set can also be configured when configuring the measurement configuration required for model monitoring. For example, the terminal device receives sixth configuration information from the network device, wherein the sixth configuration information is used to configure at least one second resource set, and for each of the at least one second resource set, indicates the first resource set associated with it. Optionally, when model monitoring is not required, the network device may not configure the second resource sets, i.e., it may not issue the sixth configuration information.

[0132] In some embodiments, the monitoring method described above may further include: a terminal device receiving fourth configuration information from a network device; wherein the fourth configuration information is used to configure a plurality of measurement configuration sets; the plurality of measurement configuration sets include a first type of measurement configuration set for channel information feedback and a second type of measurement configuration set for model monitoring; the first type of measurement configuration set includes a first resource set; the second type of measurement configuration set includes the first resource set and the second resource set.

[0133] In other words, the network device configures two types of measurement configuration sets through the fourth configuration information. Optionally, when the second type of measurement configuration set is selected to be triggered, the network device sends reference signals on the first resource set and the second resource set in the measurement configuration set, respectively, and the terminal device receives the reference signals on the first resource set and the second resource set in the measurement configuration set, respectively. The terminal device can determine that the first resource set and the second resource set in the same measurement configuration set are associated.

[0134] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives a second reference signal from the network device based on a second resource set, including: upon receiving a second activation instruction for activating a second type of measurement configuration set, the terminal device receives the second reference signal from the network device based on a second resource set in the second type of measurement configuration set.

[0135] In other words, a specific measurement configuration set is selected / triggered by the network device issuing a second activation instruction. Optionally, the terminal device receives a first reference signal from the network device based on a first resource set, including: upon receiving a second activation instruction for activating a second type of measurement configuration set, the terminal device receives a first reference signal from the network device based on the first resource set in the second type of measurement configuration set.

[0136] Optionally, upon receiving a second activation instruction for activating the first type of measurement configuration set, the terminal device receives a first reference signal from the network device based on a first resource set within the first type of measurement configuration set. Furthermore, the terminal device may determine that model monitoring is not required, thus eliminating the need to receive the second reference signal.

[0137] Optionally, the fourth configuration information may be RRC configuration information. The second activation indication may include MAC CE and / or DCI.

[0138] For example, multiple different measurement configuration sets can be pre-configured by RRC configuration information, including a first type of measurement configuration set and a second type of measurement configuration set; and activated by MAC CE, or activated by MAC CE by selecting a portion of the measurement configuration sets and dynamically triggered by DCI.

[0139] In some embodiments, the monitoring method may further include:

[0140] The terminal device determines the second channel information on the second resource set based on the first channel information on the first resource set and using the prediction module of the first part of the first model.

[0141] The terminal device determines the first monitoring information based on the fourth channel information and the second channel information; wherein, the first monitoring information is used by the monitoring and prediction module.

[0142] Optionally, if the first model includes a first part deployed in a terminal device, and the first part includes a prediction module and a coding module, the terminal device determines the second channel information based on the first channel information using the prediction module, and determines the first monitoring information based on the fourth channel information and the second channel information.

[0143] Optionally, the terminal device can determine first monitoring information for the prediction module based on the difference or similarity between the fourth channel information and the second channel information. The first monitoring information may be, for example, a monitoring indicator or a monitoring result. For instance, the monitoring indicator may include at least one of the following: Square Generalized Cosine Similarity (SGCS), Normalized Mean Squared Error (NMSE), and Mean Squared Error (MSE) between the fourth channel information and the second channel information. The monitoring result can be determined based on the monitoring indicator; for example, if the SGCS is greater than or equal to a threshold, the prediction module is determined to be normal / usable; if the SGCS is less than a threshold, the prediction module is determined to be abnormal / unusable.

[0144] In some embodiments, the fourth channel information is used by the network device to determine the second monitoring information for the first model based on the fourth channel information and the third channel information.

[0145] For example, the network device can determine the second monitoring information for the first part of the first model deployed on the terminal device side or the second monitoring information for the first model as a whole, based on the fourth channel information in the second reporting information and the third channel information fed back through the first reporting information.

[0146] For example, the network device can determine the second monitoring information for the encoding module deployed on the terminal device side of the first model based on the fourth channel information in the second reporting information and the third channel information fed back through the first reporting information.

[0147] Optionally, the network device determines the monitoring result of the prediction module based on the first monitoring information in the second reported information, and the network device can determine the monitoring result of the coding module based on the fourth channel information in the second reported information.

[0148] In some embodiments, the first model is a Joint Prediction and Compression (JPC) model, and the second reported information includes fourth channel information. The network device determines second monitoring information for the JPC model based on the fourth channel information and the third channel information. This second monitoring information can be a monitoring metric and / or a monitoring result. The monitoring metric is, for example, one or more of SGCS, NMSE, and MSE between the fourth channel information and the third channel information. The monitoring result can be determined based on the monitoring metric.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first model is a separate prediction and compression (SPC) model. For the SPC model, in order to accurately monitor the performance of the prediction and encoding modules—that is, to precisely pinpoint whether the problem in the monitoring results is a performance issue of the prediction module or the encoding module—the second reporting information can be reported using various reporting modes in practical applications. The following provides exemplary descriptions of the reporting content and monitoring methods corresponding to various reporting modes.

[0150] First Mode:

[0151] In some embodiments, the second reporting information includes reporting information based on the first mode; wherein the reporting information based on the first mode includes fourth channel information. Specifically, the reporting information of the first mode is used by the network device to determine the second monitoring information, so as to monitor the encoding module of the first part in the first model based on the first monitoring information and the second monitoring information; wherein the encoding module is used to obtain the first output information of the first part based on the second channel information on the second resource set, and the first output information is used by the network device to determine the third channel information on the second resource set using the second part in the first model.

[0152] For example, the reported information for the first mode only includes fourth channel information, serving as tag information for model monitoring. The network device can determine second monitoring information for the first model based on the fourth channel information and the third channel information. It is understood that since the fourth channel information is information reported by the terminal device after measurement, and the third channel information is information fed back after the first model predicts and encodes the measured first channel information, the second monitoring information determined based on the fourth and third channel information can indicate the overall performance of the first model, i.e., the end-to-end performance of the first model, including the performance of the prediction module and the encoding module. The first monitoring information is determined based on the predicted second channel information and the measured fourth channel information; therefore, the first monitoring information determined based on the fourth and third channel information indicates the performance of the prediction module. The network device can combine the second and first monitoring information to monitor the encoding module of the first part.

[0153] For example, when the second monitoring information indicates that the end-to-end performance of the first model meets the requirements, both the encoding module and the prediction module meet the requirements; when the second monitoring information indicates that the end-to-end performance of the first model does not meet the requirements, the network device can determine the performance of the encoding module based on the performance of the prediction module indicated by the first monitoring information. For instance, if the first monitoring information indicates that the performance of the prediction module meets the requirements, the network device can determine that the encoding module has a problem, or that the encoding module is not compatible with the prediction module.

[0154] In some embodiments, the fourth channel information is reported after being converted or quantized into a preset format. The preset format can be a format with a certain precision. For example, the fourth channel information can be converted to float32 format before reporting, or the fourth channel information can be quantized into eType II or doppler eType II codebook formats using different quantization precisions or quantization methods, such as Rel-16 eType II, or a higher precision eType II codebook format, or Rel-18 doppler eType II codebook format, or a higher precision doppler eType II codebook format, etc. By converting or quantizing to a preset format, the fourth channel information is reported with a certain precision, ensuring the accuracy of the second monitoring information.

[0155] Second mode:

[0156] In some embodiments, the second reporting information includes reporting information based on a second mode; wherein the reporting information based on the second mode includes second channel information on a second resource set. Specifically, the second channel information is determined using the prediction module of the first part of the first model based on the first channel information on the first resource set.

[0157] For example, the second reported information includes second channel information, which serves as tag information for model monitoring. Since the third channel information is fed back after encoding the second channel information, the network device can monitor the encoding module of the first part deployed on the terminal device side of the first model based on the second channel information and the third channel information.

[0158] Optionally, the second reported information includes first monitoring information for monitoring the prediction module of the first part and second channel information for monitoring the prediction module of the second part.

[0159] In some embodiments, the reporting information based on the second mode is used by the network device to determine third monitoring information for the first model based on the second channel information and the third channel information; the third monitoring information is used to monitor the encoding module of the first part in the first model; the encoding module is used by the terminal device to obtain the first output information of the first part based on the second channel information, and the first output information is used by the network device to determine the third channel information on the second resource set using the second part in the first model.

[0160] Optionally, the third monitoring information may include monitoring indicators and / or monitoring results. Monitoring indicators may be, for example, one or more of SGCS, NMSE, and MSE between the second and third channel information. Monitoring results may be determined based on the monitoring indicators.

[0161] In some embodiments, the second channel information is reported after being converted or quantized into a preset format. The preset format can be a format with a certain precision. For example, the second channel information can be converted to float32 format before reporting, or the second channel information can be quantized into eType II or doppler eType II codebook formats using different quantization precisions or quantization methods, such as Rel-16 eType II, or higher precision eType II codebook formats, Rel-18 doppler eType II codebook formats, or higher precision doppler eType II codebook formats, etc. By converting or quantizing to a preset format, the second channel information is reported with a certain precision, ensuring the accuracy of the second monitoring information.

[0162] Third Mode:

[0163] In some embodiments, the second reporting information includes reporting information based on a third mode; wherein the reporting information based on the third mode includes fourth channel information and second output information obtained by processing the fourth channel information using the encoding module of the first part of the first model; the second output information is used by the network device to determine the fifth channel information on the second resource set using the second part of the first model.

[0164] In other words, the reported information in the third mode includes two versions of the fourth channel information. One version is fed back using the encoding module deployed on the terminal device side in the first model and the second part (decoding module) deployed on the network device side in the first model. Since the fifth channel information is fed back after encoding the fourth channel information, the network device can monitor the encoding module of the first part deployed on the terminal device side in the first model based on the fifth channel information and the fourth channel information.

[0165] In some embodiments, the reporting information based on the third mode is used by the network device to determine the fourth monitoring information for the first model; the fourth monitoring information is used to monitor the encoding module of the first part in the first model; the encoding module is used by the terminal device to obtain the first output information of the first part based on the second channel information on the second resource set, and the first output information is used by the network device to determine the third channel information on the second resource set using the second part in the first model.

[0166] Optionally, the fourth monitoring information may include monitoring indicators and / or monitoring results. Monitoring indicators may be, for example, one or more of SGCS, NMSE, and MSE between the fourth and fifth channel information. Monitoring results may be determined based on the monitoring indicators.

[0167] In some embodiments, the fourth channel information is reported after being converted or quantized into a preset format. The preset format can be a format with a certain precision. For example, the fourth channel information can be converted to float32 format before reporting, or the fourth channel information can be quantized into eType II or doppler eType II codebook formats using different quantization precisions or quantization methods, such as Rel-16 eType II, or a higher precision eType II codebook format, or Rel-18 doppler eType II codebook format, or a higher precision doppler eType II codebook format, etc. By converting or quantizing to a preset format, the fourth channel information is reported with a certain precision, ensuring the accuracy of the second monitoring information.

[0168] In some embodiments, the second reporting information further includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the reporting mode corresponding to the second reporting information.

[0169] In some embodiments, the reporting mode is used to determine the information type contained in the second reported information. Different reporting modes correspond to reporting different information types. For example, the first mode corresponds to reporting information based on the first mode, including fourth channel information; the second mode corresponds to reporting information based on the second mode, including second channel information; and the third mode corresponds to reporting information based on the third mode, including fourth channel information and second output information.

[0170] In some embodiments, the reporting mode corresponding to the second reported information is configured by the network device.

[0171] Optionally, the network device can configure the reporting mode corresponding to the second reporting information through RRC configuration information.

[0172] Optionally, if the network device is not configured with a reporting mode corresponding to the second reporting information, the second reporting information includes first indication information for indicating the reporting mode.

[0173] In some embodiments, the monitoring method may further include:

[0174] The terminal device receives fifth configuration information from the network device; wherein the fifth configuration information is used to configure at least one of the following: the number of time slot resources corresponding to the first resource set, the interval between each time slot corresponding to the first resource set, the number of time slot resources corresponding to the second resource set, the interval between each time slot corresponding to the second resource set, and the time domain offset between the first resource set and the second resource set.

[0175] As described above, in some embodiments, the first resource set includes K time slots spaced at a first time interval T1, and the second resource set includes N time slots spaced at a second time interval T2. Furthermore, a time-domain offset T exists between the first resource set and the second resource set. offset The fifth configuration information can be used to configure the time parameters of the first resource set and / or the second resource set, such as K, N, T1, T2, and T. offset One or more of the following. For example, the fifth configuration information can be used to configure K, N, T1, T2, and T. offset One part is predefined. Alternatively, the fifth configuration information can be used to configure K, N, T1, T2, and T. offset All of them.

[0176] To facilitate understanding of the above methods, two specific application examples are provided below.

[0177] Application Example 1

[0178] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the signaling flow of an application example of the monitoring method in this application embodiment. This application example can be used for monitoring SPC models. Its signaling flow includes an inference process and a monitoring process. The inference process includes steps 1 and 2 in Figure 9, and the monitoring process includes steps 3 and 4 in Figure 9. Specifically, as follows:

[0179] Step 1: The network device sends a first reference signal to the terminal device, which is used by the terminal device to measure and obtain the first channel information. The set of measurement resources for which the first reference signal is sent is called the first resource set, which includes a first number (K) time slots with an interval of a first time T1.

[0180] A prediction module is deployed on the terminal device side to implement CSI prediction functionality. The prediction module can be based on AI / ML or a non-AI / ML CSI prediction algorithm (e.g., Kalman filtering, autoregressive algorithms, etc.). The prediction module takes K first channel information points as input and outputs a second number (N) second channel information points, representing the channel state information over N time slots with a second time interval T2. The time offset between the first (i.e., the earliest second channel information in time sequence) and the last (i.e., the latest first channel information in time sequence) of the N second channel information points is T. offset .

[0181] The N second channel information, or the result obtained after preprocessing the second channel information (e.g., converting the new information into a feature vector) (also collectively referred to as second channel information), are used as input to the encoding module. The encoding module implements the function of joint compression of CSI at multiple time points, or the function of an encoder.

[0182] Step 2: The terminal device sends the first reporting information to the network device. The first reporting information includes at least the output of the encoding module. The first reporting information can be reported via PUCCH or PUSCH.

[0183] First number K, first time T1, first number N, second time T2, time offset T offset The reporting configuration of the first reported information can be configured by RRC; or multiple configuration sets can be pre-configured by RRC and activated by MAC CE; or multiple configuration sets can be pre-configured by RRC, some configuration sets can be selected by MAC CE and activated, and then dynamically triggered by DCI.

[0184] A decoding module is deployed on the network device side to achieve the function of joint recovery of CSI at multiple time points, or the function of a decoder. The input of the decoding module is the output part of the encoding module included in the first reported information, and the output of the decoding module is N third channel information. The N third channel information is a recovery and approximation of N second channel information.

[0185] Step 3: The network device sends a second reference signal to the terminal device, which is used by the terminal device to measure and obtain the fourth channel information. The set of measurement resources for sending the second reference signal is called the second resource set, which includes channel state information on N time slots with an interval of the second time T2. The N time slot resources corresponding to the second resource set, or the N time slot resources for sending the second reference signal, or the N time slot resources for measuring the fourth channel information, are in one-to-one correspondence with, or are the same as, the N time slot resources corresponding to the second channel information predicted in Step 1. The measurement configuration related to the second reference signal can be directly configured by the RRC; or multiple configuration sets can be pre-configured by the RRC and activated by the MAC CE; or multiple configuration sets can be pre-configured by the RRC, a portion of the configuration sets can be activated by the MAC CE, and then dynamically triggered by the DCI.

[0186] Step 4: The network device sends a second reporting message to the terminal device. The second reporting message has the following three modes:

[0187] First mode: Only the reporting of fourth channel information is included as tag information. The reporting format can adopt different quantization precision and quantization method, such as float32, or Rel-16 eType II or higher precision eType II codebook, or Rel-18 doppler eType II or higher precision doppler eType II codebook, etc.

[0188] Second mode: Only the reporting of second channel information is included as tag information. The reporting format can be the same as the first mode.

[0189] The third mode reports two different versions of the fourth channel information. The first version is used as tag information, just like the first mode. In the second version, the fourth channel information is used as input to the encoding module and output through the decoding module, and is recorded as the fifth channel information.

[0190] The three different modes described above can be configured by the network device, for example, by configuring them separately via RRC, or by including the indication information in the reporting configuration of the second reporting information, or by dynamically configuring and activating them via MAC CE or DCI. Alternatively, the network device may not be configured, and the terminal device may indicate which mode the reported information belongs to in the second reporting information.

[0191] Optionally, in the second reported information, the terminal device may also report monitoring indicators or monitoring results of the prediction module. The monitoring indicators can be calculated by the terminal device to measure the similarity or difference between the fourth channel information and the second channel information, for example, SGCS, NMSE, or MSE. The monitoring results can be used by the terminal device to further determine whether the prediction module is in a normal and usable working state based on the monitoring indicators; for example, 1 can be used to indicate normal monitoring and 0 to indicate abnormal monitoring. The reporting configuration related to the second reported information can be directly configured by RRC; or multiple configuration sets can be pre-configured by RRC and activated by MAC CE; or multiple configuration sets can be pre-configured by RRC, with MAC CE selecting a portion of the configuration sets for activation, and then dynamically triggered by DCI.

[0192] The second reported information can be reported via PUCCH or PUSCH. The second and first reported information can be reported within the same UCI. In this case, the network device can compare the third channel information (obtained from the first reported information) recovered from one UCI with the fourth / second channel information (obtained from the second reported information) for performance monitoring of the encoding module (encoder). Alternatively, they can be reported within different UCIs. To enable the network device to correlate the third channel information (obtained from the first reported information) and the fourth / second channel information (obtained from the second reported information) recovered from different UCIs for performance monitoring of the encoding module, the following possible configuration methods exist:

[0193] Configured by RRC: Each reporting resource configured by RRC for the second reporting information is associated with a first reporting information reporting resource. When model monitoring is not required, the network device does not configure a second reporting information reporting resource.

[0194] Multiple different reporting configuration sets are pre-configured by RRC and activated by MAC CE, or MAC CE selects a portion of the reporting configuration sets for activation and is dynamically triggered by DCI. The first type of reporting configuration set includes only the first reporting information reporting resource for the model inference process, while the second type of reporting configuration set includes both the first and second reporting information reporting resources for the model monitoring process. When the configuration in the second type of reporting configuration set is selected to be triggered, the terminal device reports on the reporting resources of the first and second reporting information respectively, and the network device assumes that the first and second reporting information reported by the terminal device on the same MAC CE or DCI-activated configuration set are related.

[0195] In order for the terminal device to calculate the monitoring indicators or monitoring results of the prediction module, the network device associates a measurement configuration of a first reference signal with the measurement resource configuration of each second reference signal. This indicates that the fourth channel information measured based on the second reference signal and the second channel information output by the prediction module have a one-to-one correspondence in the time domain with the first channel information measured based on the associated first reference signal. The configuration methods for this association include the following possible configuration methods:

[0196] Configured by RRC: Each of the K first reference signal measurement resources configured by RRC is associated with N second reference signal measurement resources. When model monitoring is not required, the network device only sends reference signals on the K first reference signal measurement resources and does not send reference signals on the N second reference signal resources; it may send data or not send any signals. When model monitoring is required, the network device sends reference signals on both the K first reference signal resources and the N second reference signal resources.

[0197] Multiple different measurement configuration sets are pre-configured by RRC and activated by MAC CE, or MAC CE selects a portion of these measurement configuration sets for activation and dynamically triggers them via DCI. The first type of measurement configuration set includes only the first reference signal measurement resource for the model inference process, while the second type includes both the first and second reference signal measurement resources for the model monitoring process. When a configuration in the second type of measurement configuration set is selected for activation, the network device simultaneously transmits reference signals on both the first and second reference signal resources, and the terminal device assumes that the first and second reference signals received from the same MAC CE or DCI-activated configuration set are correlated.

[0198] The network device monitors the encoding module based on the three modes of information reported in step 4, and obtains the corresponding model monitoring results. Specifically:

[0199] In the first mode, the tag information is the fourth channel information reported with high quantization accuracy. The input to the encoding module is the second channel information, and the output of the decoding module is the third channel information. The network device calculates the similarity or difference between the tag (reported with high quantization accuracy) and the third channel information (predicted and decoded), for example, using metrics such as SGCS, NMSE, or MSE. In this mode, the performance monitoring of the model includes the end-to-end results of both the prediction and encoding modules. When the model monitoring performance meets the requirements, it indicates that both the prediction and encoding modules are working well; when the model monitoring performance does not meet the requirements, it indicates that either the prediction or encoding module is malfunctioning. In this case, the performance monitoring results of the prediction module are reported. If the prediction module performance monitoring meets the requirements, it indicates that the encoding module is malfunctioning, or that the encoding and prediction modules are incompatible.

[0200] In the second mode, the tag information is reported as high-quantization-precision second-channel information. The input to the encoding module is the second-channel information, and the output of the decoding module is the third-channel information. The network device calculates the similarity or difference between the tag (reported with high-quantization-precision second-channel information) and the third-channel information (after prediction and encoding / decoding), using metrics such as SGCS, NMSE, or MSE. In this mode, the model performance monitoring only includes the results of the encoding module. When the model performance monitoring meets the requirements, it indicates that the encoding module is working well; when the model performance monitoring does not meet the requirements, it indicates that there is a problem with the encoding module.

[0201] In the third mode, the tag information is the fourth channel information reported with high quantization accuracy. The input to the encoding module is the fourth channel information, and the output of the decoding module is the fifth channel information. The network device calculates the similarity or difference between the tag (the fourth channel information reported with high quantization accuracy) and the fifth channel information (after measurement and encoding / decoding), for example, using metrics such as SGCS, NMSE, or MSE. In this mode, the performance monitoring of the model only includes the results of the encoding module. When the model monitoring performance meets the requirements, it indicates that the encoding module is working well; when the model monitoring performance does not meet the requirements, it indicates that there is a problem with the encoding module.

[0202] Based on the above application examples, network devices can effectively monitor the performance of prediction and / or encoding modules under separate model deployment frameworks in CSI joint prediction and feedback, and trigger possible model updates, switching, fallback and other operations based on the performance results to ensure link performance.

[0203] Application Example 2

[0204] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the signaling flow of another application example of the monitoring method in this application embodiment. This application example can be used for monitoring the JPC model. Its signaling flow includes an inference process and a monitoring process. The inference process includes steps 1 and 2 in Figure 10, and the monitoring process includes steps 3 and 4 in Figure 10.

[0205] The difference between Application Example 2 and Application Example 1 lies in that the terminal device deploys the first part of the first model to implement the functions of the prediction and encoding modules in Application Example 1, while the terminal device deploys the second part of the first model to implement the functions of the decoding module in Application Example 1. Application Example 2 can reuse the signaling flow of Application Example 1, which will not be elaborated here. However, for the second reported information, at least the following differences exist:

[0206] In application example two, since there is no prediction module, there is no output of the prediction module (such as second channel information), so separate performance monitoring for the prediction module and the coding module is not supported;

[0207] The second reporting information only supports the first mode, and the monitoring results are used for performance monitoring of the first part.

[0208] By adopting the above-described embodiment, network devices can perform end-to-end performance monitoring under the joint model deployment framework in CSI joint prediction and feedback, and trigger possible model updates, switching, fallback and other operations based on the performance results to ensure link performance.
