[0042] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a network architecture 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The network architecture 100 includes: a terminal device 10, an access network device 20, and a core network device 30.

[0043] Terminal equipment 10 can refer to user equipment (UE), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, wireless communication equipment, user agent, or user device. Optionally, terminal equipment 10 can also be a cellular phone, cordless phone, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, terminal equipment in a 5th Generation System (5GS), or terminal equipment in a future Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), etc., and this application embodiment is not limited in this respect. For ease of description, the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as terminal equipment. The number of terminal equipment 10 is usually multiple, and one or more terminal equipment 10 can be distributed within the cell managed by each access network device 20.

[0044] Access network device 20 is a device deployed in an access network to provide wireless communication functionality to terminal device 10. Access network device 20 may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. In systems employing different wireless access technologies, the name of the device with access network device functionality may differ; for example, in a 5th Generation New Radio (5G NR) system, it is called a next-generation base station (gNodeB, gNB). As communication technologies evolve, the name "access network device" may change. For ease of description, in this embodiment, the aforementioned devices providing wireless communication functionality to terminal device 10 are collectively referred to as access network devices. Optionally, a communication relationship can be established between terminal device 10 and core network device 30 through access network device 20. For example, in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, access network device 20 can be one or more evolved base stations in an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (EUTRAN); in a 5G NR system, access network device 20 can be one or more gNBs in a Radio Access Network (RAN). In this application embodiment, unless otherwise specified, network device refers to access network device 20, such as a base station.

[0045] Core network equipment 30 is equipment deployed in the core network. Its main functions are to provide user connectivity, manage users, and bear services, serving as an interface to external networks. For example, core network equipment in a 5G NR system includes Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network elements, User Plane Function (UPF) network elements, and Session Management Function (SMF) network elements.

[0046] In some embodiments, the access network device 20 and the core network device 30 communicate with each other via some air interface technology, such as the NG interface in a 5G NR system. The access network device 20 and the terminal device 10 communicate with each other via some air interface technology, such as the Uu interface.

[0047] Figure 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a network system architecture 200 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The network system architecture 200 includes: a terminal device 10, an access network device 20, and a core network device 30.

[0049] The UE connects to the Access Network (AN) via the Uu interface to establish an access layer connection, exchanging access layer messages and radio data. The UE connects to the AMF via the N1 interface to establish a non-access layer (NAS) connection, exchanging NAS messages. The AMF is the mobility management function in the core network, and the SMF is the session management function in the core network. In addition to managing the UE's mobility, the AMF is also responsible for forwarding session management-related messages between the UE and the SMF. The PCF is the policy management function in the core network, responsible for formulating policies related to UE mobility management, session management, and charging. The PCF transmits data with the Application Function (AF) via the N5 interface. The UPF is the user plane function in the core network, transmitting data with the external data network (DN) via the N6 interface and with the AN via the N3 interface.

[0050] The "5G NR system" in this application embodiment can also be referred to as a 5G system or an NR system, but those skilled in the art will understand its meaning. The technical solutions described in this application embodiment can be applied to LTE systems, 5G NR systems, and subsequent evolution systems of 5G NR systems such as 6G systems, as well as other communication systems such as Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) systems. This application does not limit these applications.

[0051] The network devices involved in this application embodiment are access network devices or core network devices.

[0052] For example, the access network equipment includes at least one of the following: gNB, Centralized Unit (CU), Distributed Unit (DU), Centralized Unit-Control Plane (CU-CP), and Centralized Unit-User Plane (CU-UP).

[0053] For example, core network equipment includes at least one of the following: LMF network element, NSSF network element, AMF network element, AUSF network element, UPF network element, SMF network element, PCF network element, UDM network element, SF network element, NWDAF network element, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) function management entity.

[0054] In current communication systems, numerous communication functions (or features) exist. A small portion are mandatory functions for terminal devices, while the majority are optional. In related technologies, terminal devices can indicate applicable features through a capability reporting process, and network devices configure appropriate settings for the terminal devices based on the reported information and their own applicable features. However, the applicable features for a terminal device are dynamically changing; the currently applicable features may differ from previously reported ones. Frequent reporting of the latest applicable features leads to significant reporting overhead. To address these issues, this application provides an information transmission method.

[0055] Figure 3 shows a flowchart of an information transmission method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application, which is performed by a terminal device 310 and / or a network device 320, and includes at least one of the following steps.

[0056] Step 301: Terminal device 310 receives the first information sent by network device 320.

[0057] The first information is used to determine the applicable functional characteristics and / or unapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device 310. The first information includes one or more sets of inference-related configurations, which are related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0058] In some embodiments, the frequency domain prediction function for measurement results includes one or more of the following functions: frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results, frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results;

[0059] Among them, the frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results is used to predict cell-level measurement results, and the frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results is used to predict beam-level measurement results.

[0060] For example, the cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points based on the cell-level measurement results of the cells deployed on the measured frequency points. For example, based on the cell-level measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1, the cell-level measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 are predicted.

[0061] The beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the beam level measurement results of one or more other frequency points to be predicted based on the beam level measurement results of the beam deployed at the measured frequency point. For example, based on the beam level measurement results of beam 1 deployed at frequency point 1, the beam level measurement results of beam 2 deployed at frequency point 2 can be predicted.

[0062] • Configuration related to the first reasoning step;

[0063] In some embodiments, the first information includes a first inference-related configuration, which is any one of one or more sets of inference-related configurations. The first inference-related configuration includes one or more of the following information:

[0064] The first configuration identifier information is used to identify the first inference-related configuration; the second information is used to indicate the configuration related to the measured frequency point; one or more third information, the target third information is used to indicate the configuration related to the frequency point to be predicted, and the target third information is any one of the one or more third information; the first identifier information is used to indicate the applicable conditions that need to be met to realize the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result.

[0065] The first information includes one or more inference-related configurations, and the first configuration identification information is used to identify (or indicate) one set of inference-related configurations included in the first information. The first identification information is used to indicate the applicable conditions that the model related to realizing the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results needs to meet.

[0066] Second information;

[0067] In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate the configuration associated with the measured frequency point. The second information includes one or more of the following: first indication information, used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the measured frequency point; first physical cell identity (PCI) information, used to indicate the PCI corresponding to a cell deployed on the measured frequency point; second indication information, used to indicate the frequency band associated with the measured frequency point; third indication information, used to indicate the frequency band combination associated with the measured frequency point; fourth indication information, used to indicate the subcarrier spacing associated with the measured frequency point; and second identification information, used to indicate the applicable conditions that need to be met to realize the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0068] Third information;

[0069] In some embodiments, the third information is used to indicate the configuration associated with the frequency point to be predicted. The third information includes one or more of the following: second configuration identification information for identifying the third information; fifth indication information for indicating the frequency information corresponding to the frequency point to be predicted; second PCI information for indicating the PCI corresponding to a cell deployed on the frequency point to be predicted; sixth indication information for indicating the frequency band associated with the frequency point to be predicted; seventh indication information for indicating the frequency band combination associated with the frequency point to be predicted; eighth indication information for indicating the subcarrier spacing associated with the frequency point to be predicted; and third identification information for indicating the applicable conditions that need to be met to realize the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0070] • Second reasoning related configuration;

[0071] In some embodiments, the first information includes a second inference-related configuration, which is any one of one or more sets of inference-related configurations. The second inference-related configuration includes one or more of the following information:

[0072] The third configuration identifier information is used to identify the second inference-related configuration; the ninth indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the measured frequency point; the third PCI information is used to indicate the PCI corresponding to a cell deployed on the measured frequency point; the tenth indication information is used to indicate the frequency band associated with the measured frequency point; the eleventh indication information is used to indicate the frequency band combination associated with the measured frequency point; the twelfth indication information is used to indicate the subcarrier spacing associated with the measured frequency point; the thirteenth indication information is used to indicate whether the frequency corresponding to the frequency point to be predicted is higher or lower than the frequency corresponding to the measured frequency point; the fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the maximum frequency spacing between the frequency corresponding to the frequency point to be predicted and the frequency corresponding to the measured frequency point; and the fourth identifier information is used to indicate the applicable conditions that need to be met to realize the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0073] The second inference-related configuration directly indicates the configuration related to the measured frequency point, and indirectly indicates the configuration related to the frequency point to be predicted by using some constraints.

[0074] Step 302 (optional step): Terminal device 310 sends fourth information to network device 320; correspondingly, network device 320 receives the fourth information sent by terminal device 310.

[0075] The fourth information is used to indicate the applicable functional characteristics of the terminal device 310 and / or the functional characteristics that are not applicable to the terminal device 310.

[0076] After determining its applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics based on the first information, the terminal device 310 sends the relevant information to the network device 320 in the form of the fourth information.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first information includes a first inference-related configuration or a second inference-related configuration, wherein the first inference-related configuration is any one of one or more inference-related configurations, and the second inference-related configuration is any one of one or more inference-related configurations; the fourth information includes zero or at least one first configuration index, wherein the first configuration index is used to identify the first inference-related configuration or the second inference-related configuration.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first configuration index is any one of the following: first configuration identification information, which identifies a first inference-related configuration; third configuration identification information, which identifies a second inference-related configuration; a first index, which indicates the sorting position of the first inference-related configuration in one or more sets of inference-related configurations; or a second index, which indicates the sorting position of the second inference-related configuration in one or more sets of inference-related configurations.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the first information includes a first inference-related configuration and the first inference-related configuration includes a first configuration identifier, the first configuration index is the first configuration identifier; when the first information includes a second inference-related configuration and the second inference-related configuration includes a third configuration identifier, the first configuration index is the third configuration identifier; when the first information includes a first inference-related configuration and the first inference-related configuration does not include the first configuration identifier, the first configuration index is a first index; and when the first information includes a second inference-related configuration and the second inference-related configuration does not include the third configuration identifier, the first configuration index is a second index.

[0080] The first index can also be equivalently understood as the first number, first sequence number, first logical number, or other terms used to describe the sorting position. For example, the first index of the first sorting position can be 0 or 1. The second index is similar, and this application does not limit it, but only uses the first and second indices as examples for explanation.

[0081] • The first bit string;

[0082] In some embodiments, the fourth information includes a first bit string, which contains a first bit, any one of the bits contained in the first bit string. The first bit is associated with a third inference-related configuration, which is any one of one or more inference-related configurations. The third inference configuration may include the first inference-related configuration described above, or it may include the second inference-related configuration described above.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first bit is associated with the third inference-related configuration based on a first mapping relationship;

[0084] The first mapping relationship is used to indicate the correspondence between the position of the first bit in the first bit string and the order in which the third inference-related configuration appears in the first information.

[0085] The order in which the third inference-related configuration appears in the first information can also be understood as the positional relationship (or logical ranking) of the third inference-related configuration in the first information. For example, the first set of inference-related configurations (the third inference-related configuration) to appear in the first information is called the first set of inference-related configurations, the second set of inference-related configurations to appear in the first information is called the second set of inference-related configurations, and so on. The Nth inference-related configuration to appear in the first information is called the Nth set of inference-related configurations, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0086] In some implementations, in the first mapping relationship, the first bit (first bit) in the first bit string can correspond to the first set of inference-related configurations, the second bit in the first bit string can correspond to the second set of inference-related configurations, and so on, the Mth bit in the first bit string can correspond to the Mth set of inference-related configurations, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0087] In some other implementations, in the first mapping relationship, the first bit (first bit) in the first bit string can correspond to the penultimate set of inference-related configurations, the second bit in the first bit string can correspond to the penultimate set of inference-related configurations, and so on, the Mth bit in the first bit string can correspond to the Mth penultimate set of inference-related configurations, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0088] The first mapping relationship can also be other mapping relationships, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0089] • Updated fourth information;

[0090] In some embodiments, the terminal device 310 currently stores one or more sets of inference-related configurations. The functional characteristic applicable status information corresponding to one or more sets of inference-related configurations is the first functional characteristic applicable status information, and the functional characteristic applicable status information corresponding to the fourth information is the second functional characteristic applicable status information.

[0091] The first functional characteristic applicable status information can also be understood as the functional characteristic applicable status information determined by the terminal device 310 based on its current status, or the functional characteristic applicable status information determined at the current moment; the second functional characteristic applicable status information can also be understood as the functional characteristic applicable status information corresponding to the fourth information previously reported by the terminal device 310, or as the functional characteristic applicable status information determined by the terminal device 310 before the last report. This application embodiment does not limit this, but only uses the description of the first functional characteristic applicable status information and the second functional characteristic applicable status information for explanation.

[0092] In some embodiments, the method further includes: sending updated fourth information when the first functional feature applicable state information is different from the second functional feature applicable state information; or, sending updated fourth information when the first functional feature applicable state information is different from the second functional feature applicable state information and the first timer is not running.

[0093] The updated fourth information is used to indicate the currently applicable functional characteristics of the terminal device 310 and / or the currently inapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device 310, or the updated fourth information is used to indicate the changed parts of the applicable functional characteristics of the terminal device 310 and / or the changed parts of the inapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device 310, and the first timer is used to control the terminal device 310 to send the fourth information.

[0094] For one or more sets of inference-related configurations currently stored and configured via the first information, if the applicable status information of the functional characteristics determined by the terminal device 310 for one or more sets of inference-related configurations has changed compared to the applicable status information of the functional characteristics indicated by the fourth information last time; or if the applicable status information of the functional characteristics determined by the terminal device 310 for one or more sets of inference-related configurations has changed compared to the applicable status information of the functional characteristics indicated by the fourth information last time and the first timer has not run, then the terminal device 310 sends updated fourth information to the network device 320.

[0095] Figure 4 shows a flowchart of an information transmission method provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application, which is executed by a terminal device and includes at least one of the following steps.

[0096] Step 410: Receive the first message.

[0097] The first information is used to determine the applicable functional characteristics and / or unapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device. The first information includes one or more sets of inference-related configurations, which are related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0098] Communication systems contain numerous functional characteristics (also referred to as functions or communication features). Some of these functional characteristics are applicable to terminal devices, while others are not. The terminal device determines the applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics based on first information. Applicable functional characteristics can also be equivalently understood as supported functional characteristics, supported communication functions, applicable communication functions, or the terminal device storing a model that implements the functional characteristics. This application typically uses applicable functional characteristics as examples for illustration.

[0099] 1.1 Frequency domain prediction function for measurement results;

[0100] In some embodiments, the frequency domain prediction function for measurement results includes one or more of the following functions: frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results, frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results;

[0101] Among them, the frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results is used to predict cell-level measurement results, and the frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results is used to predict beam-level measurement results.

[0102] For example, the cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points based on the cell-level measurement results of the cells deployed on the measured frequency points. For example, based on the cell-level measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1, the cell-level measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 are predicted.

[0103] The beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the beam level measurement results of one or more other beams deployed at different frequency points based on the beam level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points. For example, based on the beam level measurement results of beam 1 deployed at frequency point 1, the beam level measurement results of beam 2 deployed at frequency point 2 can be predicted.

[0104] The frequency domain prediction function for measurement results includes the following four scenarios: Scenario 1, Scenario 2, Scenario 3, and Scenario 4. Among them, Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 correspond to the frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results, and Scenario 3 and Scenario 4 correspond to the frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results.

[0105] 1.1.1 Scenario 1 and Scenario 2;

[0106] In some embodiments, the frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results includes one or more of the following functions: a first frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results and a second frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results;

[0107] Among them, the first cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the cell-level measurement result corresponding to cell 2 based on the cell-level measurement result corresponding to cell 1. The cell-level measurement result corresponding to cell 1 is the cell measurement result corresponding to the cell deployed on the measured frequency point, and the cell-level measurement result corresponding to cell 1 has been filtered by layer 3. The cell-level measurement result corresponding to cell 2 is the cell measurement result corresponding to one or more cells deployed on the different frequency points to be predicted.

[0108] The second cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the cell-level measurement result of cell 4 based on the cell-level measurement result of cell 3. The cell-level measurement result of cell 3 is the cell measurement result of the cell deployed on the measured frequency point. The cell-level measurement result of cell 3 has been filtered by layer 1 but not by layer 3. The cell-level measurement result of cell 4 is the cell measurement result of the cell deployed on one or more different frequency points to be predicted.

[0109] Scenario 1: Based on the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points, predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points to be predicted, where the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points have undergone layer 3 filtering. The function described in Scenario 1 can be called "frequency domain prediction function of cell measurement results after layer 3 filtering".

[0110] Scenario 2: Based on the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points, predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points to be predicted. The cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points have undergone Layer 1 filtering but not Layer 3 filtering. The function described in Scenario 2 can be called "Frequency Domain Prediction Function of Cell Measurement Results After Layer 1 Filtering".

[0111] For example, the terminal device has already obtained the cell-level measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 through the actual measurement process. It is also known that the cell-level measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 can be predicted from the cell-level measurement results of cell 1 (for example, there is spatial correlation between cell 2 and cell 3 and cell 1, which could be cell co-location). Therefore, inference technology (e.g., AI inference technology) can be used to predict the cell-level measurement results of cell 2 and cell 3 based on the cell-level measurement results of cell 1. This inference technology can be called the cell-level measurement result frequency domain prediction function. If the cell-level measurement results of cell 1 have undergone layer 3 filtering, it corresponds to scenario one above; if the cell-level measurement results of cell 1 have only undergone layer 1 filtering but not layer 3 filtering, it corresponds to scenario two above.

[0112] Cell-level measurement results can also be described as cell measurement results, cell granularity measurement results, or other terms, and this application does not limit this to the embodiments.

[0113] 1.1.2 Scenario 3 and Scenario 4;

[0114] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function includes one or more of the following functions: a first beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function and a second beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function;

[0115] Among them, the first type of beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 2 based on the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 1. The beam measurement result corresponding to beam 1 is the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam deployed at the measured frequency point, and the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 1 has been filtered by layer 3. The beam measurement result corresponding to beam 2 is the beam measurement result corresponding to one or more beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted.

[0116] The second type of beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 4 based on the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 3. The beam measurement result corresponding to beam 3 is the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam deployed at the measured frequency point. The beam measurement result corresponding to beam 3 has been filtered by layer 1 but not by layer 3. The beam measurement result corresponding to beam 4 is the beam measurement result corresponding to one or more beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted.

[0117] Scenario 3: Based on the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points, predict the beam-level measurement results of one or more other beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted. The beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points have been filtered by layer 3. The function described in Scenario 3 can be simply referred to as "frequency domain prediction function of beam measurement results after layer 3 filtering".

[0118] Scenario 4: Based on the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points, predict the beam-level measurement results of one or more other beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted. The beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points have been filtered by layer 1 but not by layer 3. The function described in Scenario 4 can be simply referred to as "frequency domain prediction function of beam measurement results after layer 1 filtering".

[0119] For example, the terminal device has already obtained the beam-level measurement results of beam 1 deployed at frequency 1 through actual measurement. It is also known that the beam-level measurement results of beam 2 deployed at frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed at frequency 3 can be predicted from the beam-level measurement results of beam 1 (for example, there is spatial correlation between beam 2 and beam 3 and beam 1, which could be beam co-location). Therefore, inference techniques (such as AI inference techniques) can be used to predict the beam-level measurement results of beam 2 and beam 3 based on the beam-level measurement results of beam 1. This inference technique can be called the beam-level measurement result frequency domain prediction function. If the beam-level measurement results of beam 1 have undergone layer 3 filtering, it corresponds to scenario three above; if the beam-level measurement results of beam 1 have only undergone layer 1 filtering but not layer 3 filtering, it corresponds to scenario four above.

[0120] The beam-level measurement results can also be described as beam measurement results, beam granularity measurement results, or other terms, and this application does not limit them in this way.

[0121] 1.2 The first information includes the configuration related to the first inference;

[0122] In some embodiments, the first information includes a first inference-related configuration, which is any one of one or more sets of inference-related configurations. The first inference-related configuration includes one or more of the following information:

[0123] The first configuration identifier information is used to identify the first inference-related configuration; the second information is used to indicate the configuration related to the measured frequency point; one or more third information, the target third information is used to indicate the configuration related to the frequency point to be predicted, and the target third information is any one of the one or more third information; the first identifier information (associated ID) is used to indicate the applicable conditions that need to be met to realize the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result.

[0124] The first information includes one or more sets of inference-related configurations. The first configuration identification information is used to identify (or indicate) a set of inference-related configurations included in the first information (e.g., the first inference-related configuration). The first configuration identification information may also be called the first configuration index identifier information, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0125] The measured frequency point refers to the frequency point that can be measured in practice. This means that the terminal device can obtain the measurement results of one or more cells deployed on the measured frequency point through the actual measurement process. The predicted frequency point refers to the frequency point that does not need to be measured in practice. This means that the measurement results of one or more cells deployed on the predicted frequency point do not need to be obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process. Instead, the measurement results of one or more cells deployed on the predicted frequency point are obtained through the prediction process using the measurement results of one or more cells deployed on the measured frequency point.

[0126] The first identification information is used to indicate the applicable conditions that need to be met to achieve the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results. In some embodiments, the first identification information is associated with a network device.

[0127] By carrying one or more of the above information in the first information, the terminal device can obtain sufficiently detailed inference-related configuration details, effectively assisting the terminal device in accurately determining whether it has one or more models that match the first information provided by the network device, thereby responding to the network device's currently applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics, providing rich input information for the network device to determine whether the corresponding functional characteristics can be activated in subsequent processes.

[0128] The network devices involved in this application embodiment are access network devices or core network devices.

[0129] For example, the access network equipment includes at least one of the following: gNB, CU, DU, CU-CP, CU-UP, and next-generation access network equipment.

[0130] For example, the core network equipment includes at least one of the following: LMF network element, NSSF network element, AMF network element, AUSF network element, UPF network element, SMF network element, PCF network element, UDM network element, SF network element, NWDAF network element, and AI function management entity.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first identification information is associated with the dataset used for model training.

[0132] For example, there is a one-to-one relationship between the first identification information and the dataset used for model training.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first identification information is associated with the trained model.

[0134] For example, there is a one-to-one relationship between the first identifier information and the trained model.

[0135] The aforementioned first identifier information is used to indicate the applicable conditions that need to be met to achieve the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results. This is mainly to ensure the consistency of model performance between the model training and inference processes. Each type of dataset used for model training can be associated with a first identifier information. After model training is completed, the resulting model can also be associated with this first identifier information.

[0136] When a terminal device is in a new network environment, if the first identification information indicated in the inference-related configuration provided by the network device is the same as the first identification information associated with the model stored by the terminal device, then the model stored by the terminal device is considered to meet the applicable conditions.

[0137] Optionally, the first identification information is an identifier (ID). For example, the first identification information is related to the implementation of the network device and can distinguish different network devices through hardware configuration (e.g., antenna size, antenna angle, antenna height, etc.) and / or software configuration (e.g., software programs, data, etc.).

[0138] A model deployed on a terminal device may not necessarily achieve good performance if it meets the applicable conditions indicated by the first identification information on its own. However, if none of the applicable conditions are met, it is generally believed that the model cannot work at a high performance. The applicable conditions are only one of the conditions that need to be met to achieve high performance of the model.

[0139] In some implementations, the first information includes first configuration identification information, second information, one or more third information, and first identification information; in other implementations, the first information includes first configuration identification information, second information, and one or more third information; in yet another implementation, the first information includes second information, one or more third information, and first identification information; and in still another implementation, the first information includes second information and one or more third information.

[0140] Because of the introduction of first configuration identification information, when the terminal device reports the applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics, the signaling overhead is very small. It only needs to provide the first configuration identification information associated with the applicable functional characteristics and / or the first configuration identification information associated with the inapplicable functional characteristics, without having to reply with the complete inference-related configuration.

[0141] The first identification information is explicitly included in the first information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model meets the environmental characteristics of the network device based on the first identification information. This avoids the terminal device reporting the applicability of certain functions when it does not meet the environmental characteristics of the network device, and further misleading the network device to activate inapplicable functional characteristics on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0142] 1.2.1 Second information;

The second information includes one or more of the following: first indication information, used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the measured frequency point; first PCI information, used to indicate the PCI corresponding to a cell deployed on the measured frequency point; second indication information, used to indicate the band associated with the measured frequency point; third indication information, used to indicate the band combination associated with the measured frequency point; fourth indication information, used to indicate the subcarrier spacing associated with the measured frequency point; and second identification information, used to indicate the applicable conditions that need to be met to realize the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first indication information is a frequency identification information, such as an absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN).

[0145] By using the frequency information and first PCI information corresponding to the measured frequency point, the cell deployed on the measured frequency point can be identified.

The second information includes, in some implementations, first PCI information, first indication information, second indication information, third indication information, and second identification information; in some implementations, the second information includes first PCI information, first indication information, second indication information, and fourth indication information; in some implementations, the second information includes first PCI information, first indication information, second indication information, fourth indication information, and second identification information; in some implementations, the second information includes first PCI information, first indication information, third indication information, and fourth indication information; in some implementations, the second information includes first PCI information, first indication information, second indication information, third indication information, fourth indication information, and second identification information; in some implementations, the second information includes first PCI information, first indication information, second indication information, third indication information, fourth indication information, and second identification information; in some implementations, the second information includes first PCI information, first indication information, second indication information, third indication information, fourth indication information, and second identification information.

[0149] The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific information included in the second information, but only use the above situation as an example for illustration.

[0150] In some embodiments, the second indication information is explicitly included in the second information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is applicable to the frequency band characteristics associated with the measured frequency point indicated by the second indication information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device reports that it is applicable to certain functions when it does not meet the frequency band characteristics indicated by the second indication information, and further misleads the network device to activate the inapplicable functional characteristics on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0151] In some embodiments, the third indication information is explicitly included in the second information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is applicable to the frequency band combination characteristics associated with the measured frequency points indicated by the third indication information.

[0152] In some embodiments, the fourth indication information is explicitly included in the second information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is applicable to the subcarrier spacing characteristics associated with the measured frequency point indicated by the fourth indication information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device reports its applicability to certain functions when it does not meet the subcarrier spacing characteristics indicated by the fourth indication information, and further misleads the network device to activate the inapplicable functional characteristics on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0153] In some embodiments, the second identification information is explicitly included in the second information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model meets the environmental characteristics of the network device based on the second identification information.

[0162] The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific information included in the third information, but only use the above situation as an example for illustration.

[0163] Because of the introduction of the second configuration identification information, when the terminal device reports the applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics, the signaling overhead is very small.

[0177] This application does not limit the specific information included in the second inference-related configuration in the embodiments; it only uses the above situation as an example for illustration.

[0178] Because of the introduction of third configuration identification information, when the terminal device reports the applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics, the signaling overhead is very small. It only needs to provide the third configuration identification information associated with the applicable functional characteristics and / or the third configuration identification information associated with the inapplicable functional characteristics, without having to reply with the complete inference-related configuration.

[0179] In some embodiments, the tenth indication information is explicitly included in the first information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is applicable to the frequency band characteristics associated with the measured frequency point indicated by the tenth indication information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device reports that it is applicable to certain functions when it does not meet the frequency band characteristics indicated by the tenth indication information, and further misleads the network device to activate the inapplicable functional characteristics on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0180] In some embodiments, the eleventh indication information is explicitly included in the first information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is applicable to the frequency band combination characteristics associated with the measured frequency point indicated by the eleventh indication information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device reports that it is applicable to certain functions when it does not meet the frequency band combination characteristics indicated by the eleventh indication information, and further misleads the network device to activate the inapplicable functional characteristics on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0181] In some embodiments, the twelfth indication information is explicitly included in the first information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is applicable to the subcarrier spacing characteristics associated with the measured frequency point indicated by the twelfth indication information based on the twelfth indication information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device reports that it is applicable to certain functions when it does not meet the subcarrier spacing characteristics indicated by the twelfth indication information, and further misleads the network device to activate the inapplicable functional characteristics on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0182] In some embodiments, the thirteenth indication information is explicitly included in the first information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is applicable to the frequency domain prediction direction indicated by the thirteenth indication information based on the thirteenth indication information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device reports that it is applicable to certain functions when it does not meet the frequency domain prediction direction indicated by the thirteenth indication information, and further misleads the network device to activate the inapplicable functional characteristics on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0183] In some embodiments, the fourteenth indication information is explicitly included in the first information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model is subject to the frequency domain range limitation indicated by the fourteenth indication information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device may report that it is subject to certain functions when it does not meet the frequency domain range limitation indicated by the fourteenth indication information, and further mislead the network device to activate the inapplicable functional features on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0184] In some embodiments, the fourth identification information is explicitly included in the first information, which allows the terminal device to accurately determine whether its deployed model meets the environmental characteristics of the network device based on the fourth identification information. This avoids the problem that the terminal device reports that it is suitable for certain functions when it does not meet the environmental characteristics of the network device, and further misleads the network device to activate the functional characteristics that are not suitable on the terminal device side, resulting in a decrease in communication performance.

[0185] 1.4 Fourth Information;

[0186] In some embodiments, the method further includes: sending fourth information, the fourth information being used to indicate functional characteristics applicable to the terminal device and / or functional characteristics not applicable to the terminal device.

[0187] After determining its applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics based on the first information, the terminal device sends the relevant information to the network device in the form of the fourth information.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first information includes a first inference-related configuration or a second inference-related configuration, wherein the first inference-related configuration is any one of one or more inference-related configurations, and the second inference-related configuration is any one of one or more inference-related configurations; the fourth information includes zero or at least one first configuration index, wherein the first configuration index is used to identify the first inference-related configuration or the second inference-related configuration.

[0189] In some embodiments, the first configuration index is any one of the following: first configuration identification information, which identifies a first inference-related configuration; third configuration identification information, which identifies a second inference-related configuration; a first index, which indicates the sorting position of the first inference-related configuration in one or more sets of inference-related configurations; or a second index, which indicates the sorting position of the second inference-related configuration in one or more sets of inference-related configurations.

[0190] When the first information includes the first inference-related configuration and the first inference-related configuration includes the first configuration identifier information, the first configuration index is the first configuration identifier information; when the first information includes the second inference-related configuration and the second inference-related configuration includes the third configuration identifier information, the first configuration index is the third configuration identifier information; when the first information includes the first inference-related configuration and the first inference-related configuration does not include the first configuration identifier information, the first configuration index is the first index; when the first information includes the second inference-related configuration and the second inference-related configuration does not include the third configuration identifier information, the first configuration index is the second index.

[0191] The first index can also be equivalently understood as the first number, first sequence number, first logical number, or other terms used to describe the sorting position. For example, the first index of the first sorting position can be 0 or 1. The second index is similar, and this application does not limit it, but only uses the first and second indices as examples for explanation.

[0192] In some embodiments, the fourth information includes at least one first configuration index, and any one of the at least one first configuration index is a target first configuration index;

[0193] The fourth information also includes at least one second configuration index associated with the target first configuration index, wherein the second configuration index is third configuration identification information or a third index, and the third index is used to indicate the sorting position of the target third information in one or more third information; or, the fourth information also includes frequency information corresponding to at least one frequency point to be predicted associated with the target first configuration index.

[0194] The first information includes a first inference-related configuration, which is any one of one or more inference-related configurations. The first inference-related configuration includes one or more third information, and the target third information is used to indicate the configuration related to the frequency point to be predicted. The target third information is any one of one or more third information.

[0195] Taking the first configuration index as the first configuration identifier information as an example, the fourth information includes at least one first configuration identifier information, and any one of the first configuration identifier information is the target first configuration identifier information; the fourth information also includes at least one third index (or at least one second configuration identifier information) associated with the target first configuration identifier information, or frequency information corresponding to at least one frequency point to be predicted associated with the target first configuration identifier information.

[0196] By sending the fourth message, the network device can determine the applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device, which facilitates the network device to accurately activate the applicable functional characteristics of the terminal device and avoids the problem of communication performance degradation caused by the network device activating the inapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device.

[0197] 1.5 The fourth piece of information includes the first bit string;

[0198] In some embodiments, the fourth information includes a first bit string containing a first bit, the first bit being any one bit contained in the first bit string, the first bit being associated with a third inference-related configuration, the third inference-related configuration being any one of one or more inference-related configurations.

[0199] In this embodiment of the application, the third inference-related configuration may include the first inference-related configuration described above, or it may include the second inference-related configuration described above, and there is no limitation on this.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first bit is associated with the third inference-related configuration based on a first mapping relationship; wherein the first mapping relationship is used to indicate the correspondence between the position of the first bit in the first bit string and the order in which the third inference-related configuration appears in the first information.

[0201] The order in which the third inference-related configuration appears in the first information can also be understood as the positional relationship (or logical order) of the third inference-related configuration within the first information. For example, the first set of inference-related configurations (the third inference-related configuration) to appear in the first information is called the first set of inference-related configurations, the second set of inference-related configurations to appear in the first information is called the second set of inference-related configurations, and so on, with the Nth inference-related configuration appearing in the first information being called the Nth set of inference-related configurations, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. Therefore, the first mapping relationship can also be used to indicate the correspondence between the position of the first bit (or bit) in the first bit string and the position of the third inference-related configuration.

[0202] In the first mapping relationship, the first bit (first bit) in the first bit string can correspond to the first set of inference-related configurations, the second bit in the first bit string can correspond to the second set of inference-related configurations, and so on, the Mth bit in the first bit string can correspond to the Mth set of inference-related configurations, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0203] Alternatively, in the first mapping relationship, the last bit (the first bit) in the first bit string can correspond to the first set of inference-related configurations, the second-to-last bit in the first bit string can correspond to the second set of inference-related configurations, and so on, the Pth bit from the end in the first bit string can correspond to the Pth set of inference-related configurations, where P is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0204] The first mapping relationship can also be other mapping relationships, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0205] In some embodiments, the value of the first bit is used to indicate whether the terminal device has applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration.

[0206] Optionally, the first bit can be a first value or a second value. The first value is used to indicate that the terminal device has applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration, and the second value is used to indicate that the terminal device does not have applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration.

[0207] For example, when the first bit is 1, it indicates that the terminal device has applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration; when the first bit is 0, it indicates that the terminal device does not have applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration; or, when the first bit is 0, it indicates that the terminal device has applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration; when the first bit is 1, it indicates that the terminal device does not have applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0208] By associating the first bit with the third inference-related configuration, the terminal device is clearly indicated whether it has applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration. This method significantly reduces the reporting overhead of the fourth information.

[0209] The fourth piece of information updated in 1.6;

[0210] In some embodiments, the terminal device currently stores one or more sets of inference-related configurations, the functional characteristic applicable state information corresponding to one or more sets of inference-related configurations is the first functional characteristic applicable state information, and the functional characteristic applicable state information corresponding to the fourth information is the second functional characteristic applicable state information. The method further includes:

[0211] If the first functional characteristic application status information differs from the second functional characteristic application status information, an updated fourth message is sent; or,

[0212] If the applicable status information of the first functional feature is different from that of the applicable status information of the second functional feature, and the first timer is not running, send updated fourth information;

[0213] The updated fourth information is used to indicate the currently applicable functional characteristics of the terminal device and / or the currently inapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device, or the updated fourth information is used to indicate the changed parts of the applicable functional characteristics of the terminal device and / or the changed parts of the inapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device, and the first timer is used to control the terminal device to send the fourth information.

[0214] The functional characteristic applicability status information is used to indicate the functional characteristics applicable to the terminal device and / or the functional characteristics not applicable to the terminal device. For one or more sets of inference-related configurations currently stored and configured through the first information, if the functional characteristic applicability status information determined by the terminal device for the one or more sets of inference-related configurations has changed compared with the functional characteristic applicability status information indicated by the fourth information last time, then the terminal device sends the updated fourth information to the network device.

[0215] Alternatively, if the terminal device has changed the applicable status information of the functional characteristics determined by one or more sets of inference-related configurations compared to the functional characteristics applicable status information indicated by the fourth information last time, and the first timer has not run, then the terminal device sends the updated fourth information to the network device.

[0216] The updated fourth information, used to indicate changes in applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device, can save reporting overhead. For example, initially, the network device configures five sets of inference-related configurations for the terminal device using the first information (the corresponding first configuration indices are "0000", "0000", "0010", "0011", and "0100" respectively). During the first report, the terminal device uses the fourth information to indicate that the applicable functional characteristics correspond to the first configuration indices "0000", "0000", and "0010", while simultaneously using the fourth information to indicate changes in inapplicable functional characteristics... The first configuration index includes "0011" and "0100". After a period of time, due to changes in the internal characteristics of the terminal device (such as changes in speed, insufficient memory, etc.), the terminal device finds that the third set of inference-related configurations is no longer applicable, while the fourth set of inference-related configurations becomes applicable. In the updated fourth information, the terminal device only needs to additionally indicate that the first configuration index corresponding to the incremental applicable functional characteristics includes "0011", and at the same time, it additionally indicates that the first configuration index corresponding to the incremental inapplicable functional characteristics includes "0010" through the updated fourth information. Reporting only the changed parts saves more overhead in reporting the fourth information.

[0217] In some embodiments, the conditions for starting the first timer include: the terminal device sending fourth information.

[0218] Whenever the terminal device triggers the sending of the fourth information, the terminal device starts the first timer. The main function of the first timer is to avoid the terminal device frequently sending updated fourth information, which would cause a large air interface signaling overhead.

[0219] In some embodiments, the stopping condition for the first timer includes: the terminal device receiving updated first information.

[0220] When the terminal device receives the updated first information, it indicates that the first information reconfiguration has occurred, and at this time the first timer stops running.

[0221] In some embodiments, when the terminal device triggers a connection recovery process or a connection re-establishment process, the method further includes one or more of the following:

[0222] Release the stored first information; if the first timer is running, stop the first timer.

[0223] Since the first information is a configuration related to the serving cell, and the applicability of the functional characteristics determined by the terminal device based on the first information changes with the internal state of the terminal device, the first information is no longer valid after moving to another cell (or the new cell will reconfigure the first information for the terminal device). Therefore, when the terminal device triggers the connection resume procedure or the connection re-establishment procedure, the terminal device needs to release the stored first information. At this time, if the first timer that controls the terminal device to frequently report the fourth information is still running, it is meaningless to let the first timer continue to run since the first information has been deleted. Therefore, the first timer needs to be stopped.

[0224] In some embodiments, the method further includes: the terminal device receiving a connection release message sent by the network device;

[0225] If the connection release message contains a suspendConfig parameter and the connection release message is not used to respond to a radio resource control (RRC) resume request (RRCResumeRequest) or RRC resume request 1 (RRCResumeRequest1), the terminal device stores the contents of the first information in the terminal device's inactive AS context.

[0226] To simplify the behavior of a terminal device entering an inactive state, when a network device releases a terminal device from a connected state to an inactive state via a connection release message, the terminal device needs to store the contents of the first information in the terminal device's inactive access layer context.

[0227] In some embodiments, the method further includes: the terminal device sending first capability information to the network device, the first capability information being used to indicate whether the terminal device supports the applicability reporting functionality related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0228] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment enables the terminal device to accurately determine whether applicable functional features exist by receiving first information. Furthermore, since the first information includes one or more sets of inference-related configurations, the terminal device only needs to report whether the functional features corresponding to one or more sets of inference-related configurations are applicable during subsequent reporting processes, without needing to report all applicable functional features, thereby saving reporting overhead for the terminal device.

[0229] The method provided in this embodiment also enables the network device to determine the functional characteristics that need to be activated and the inference configuration associated with the functional characteristics by sending a fourth message after obtaining the applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics reported by the terminal device.

[0230] The method provided in this embodiment also ensures that, in the event of a change in the functional feature applicability status information, the network device can obtain the current functional feature applicability status information of the terminal device, so as to activate some functional features or reconfigure some inference configurations.

[0231] Figure 5 shows a flowchart of an information transmission method provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application, which is performed by a network device and includes at least one of the following steps.

[0232] Step 510: Send the first message.

[0233] The first information is used to determine the applicable functional characteristics and / or unapplicable functional characteristics of the terminal device. The first information includes one or more sets of inference-related configurations, which are related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0270] 2.5 The fourth piece of information includes the first bit string;

[0271] In some embodiments, the fourth information includes a first bit string containing a first bit, the first bit being any one bit contained in the first bit string, the first bit being associated with a third inference-related configuration, the third inference-related configuration being any one of one or more inference-related configurations.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first bit is associated with the third inference-related configuration based on a first mapping relationship;

[0273] The first mapping relationship is used to indicate the correspondence between the position of the first bit in the first bit string and the order in which the third inference-related configuration appears in the first information.

[0274] In some embodiments, the value of the first bit is used to indicate whether the terminal device has applicable functional characteristics that meet the requirements of the third inference-related configuration.

[0275] For specific implementation details, please refer to section 1.5 of the embodiment shown in Figure 4, which will not be repeated here.

[0276] The fourth piece of information updated in 2.6;

[0277] In some embodiments, the terminal device currently stores one or more sets of inference-related configurations, the functional characteristic applicable state information corresponding to one or more sets of inference-related configurations is the first functional characteristic applicable state information, and the functional characteristic applicable state information corresponding to the fourth information is the second functional characteristic applicable state information. The method further includes:

[0278] Receive the updated fourth message;

[0279] The updated fourth information is sent by the terminal device when the first functional feature application status information is different from the second functional feature application status information, or when the updated fourth information is sent by the terminal device when the first functional feature application status information is different from the second functional feature application status information and the first timer is not running. The updated fourth information is used to indicate the currently applicable functional feature of the terminal device and / or the currently inapplicable functional feature of the terminal device, or the updated fourth information is used to indicate the changed part of the applicable functional feature of the terminal device and / or the changed part of the inapplicable functional feature of the terminal device. The first timer is used to control the terminal device to send the fourth information.

[0280] For specific implementation details, please refer to section 1.6 of the embodiment shown in Figure 4, which will not be repeated here.

[0281] In some embodiments, the updated fourth information is used to indicate changes in the functional characteristics applicable to the terminal device and / or changes in the functional characteristics not applicable to the terminal device, and the method further includes:

[0282] Send a handover preparation message to the handover candidate cell. The handover preparation message contains the fifth information and the updated fourth information.

[0283] The fifth piece of information is used to indicate the applicable functional characteristics of the terminal device and / or the functional characteristics that are not applicable to the terminal device.

[0284] Since the updated fourth information cannot help the handover candidate cell restore the complete functional characteristics currently applicable to the terminal device and / or the functional characteristics currently inapplicable to the terminal device, the handover source cell needs to transmit the functional characteristics currently applicable to the terminal device and / or the functional characteristics currently inapplicable to the terminal device (i.e., the fifth information) stored in itself and obtained based on the fourth information previously reported by the terminal device to the handover candidate cell, so as to help the handover candidate cell restore the complete functional characteristics currently applicable to the terminal device and / or the functional characteristics currently inapplicable to the terminal device based on the fifth information and the updated fourth information.

[0285] For example: Initially, the network device configures five sets of inference-related configurations for the terminal device using the first information (the corresponding first configuration indices are "0000", "0001", "0010", "0011", and "0100" respectively). During the first report, the terminal device indicates the applicable functional characteristics using the fourth information, with the first configuration indices including "0000", "0001", and "0010". Simultaneously, it indicates the inapplicable functional characteristics using the fourth information, with the first configuration indices including "0011" and "0100". After a period of time, due to changes in the terminal device's internal characteristics (e.g., changes in speed, insufficient memory), the terminal device discovers that the third set of inference-related configurations has been... If the current configuration is no longer applicable, but the fourth set of inference-related configurations becomes applicable, then in the updated fourth information, the terminal device only needs to additionally indicate that the first configuration index corresponding to the incremental applicable functional characteristics includes "0011," and simultaneously, through the updated fourth information, additionally indicate that the first configuration index corresponding to the incremental inapplicable functional characteristics includes "0010." At this point, the fifth information includes "0000," "0001," and "0100" (used to indicate applicable functional characteristics), and "0011" and "0100" (used to indicate inapplicable functional characteristics). The updated fourth information includes "0011" (used to indicate applicable functional characteristics) and "0010" (used to indicate inapplicable functional characteristics). With the aforementioned fifth information and the updated fourth information, the candidate cell handover can restore the latest fourth information, i.e., the fourth information includes "0000," "0001," and "0011" (used to indicate applicable functional characteristics), and "0010" and "0100" (used to indicate inapplicable functional characteristics).

[0286] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment enables the terminal device to accurately determine whether applicable functional features exist by sending first information. Furthermore, since the first information includes one or more sets of inference-related configurations, the terminal device only needs to report whether the functional features corresponding to one or more sets of inference-related configurations are applicable during subsequent reporting processes, without needing to report all applicable functional features, thereby saving reporting overhead for the terminal device.

[0287] The method provided in this embodiment also enables the network device to determine the functional characteristics that need to be activated and the inference configuration associated with the functional characteristics after receiving the fourth information, after obtaining the applicable and / or inapplicable functional characteristics reported by the terminal device.

[0288] The method provided in this embodiment also ensures that, when the functional feature applicability status information changes, the network device can obtain the current functional feature applicability status information of the terminal device so as to deactivate some functional features or reconfigure some inference configurations by receiving updated fourth information.
