Description

Wireless communication methods and devices, chips, storage media, and software products Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile communication technology, specifically to a wireless communication method and device, chip, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] The measurement process of the terminal is generally used to obtain the signal measurement results of the measured object. The evaluation index of the signal measurement results includes at least one of the measurement results of the measured object's reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), or signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR).

[0003] For connected terminals, the purpose of performing measurements is to acquire signal measurement results from at least one neighboring cell and report these results to the network side when the network device configuration conditions are met. The network side can then control terminal mobility based on the reported measurement results, such as controlling the terminal's cell handover process. To allow connected terminals to selectively perform measurement processes, the network side typically configures one or more measurement objects (MOs) for the terminal via dedicated signaling. Each MO configuration contains information about a target measurement frequency. In related technologies, there is a tendency to erroneously execute actual measurements or erroneously execute predictive actions, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of the measurement results.

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.

[0042] Frequency domain prediction of measurement results is one of the current research directions, but there is no clear solution in the standard for how to configure the correlation between the measured cell and the cell to be predicted; on the other hand, how to maintain the generalization of the model without reducing the prediction accuracy of the measurement results of the cell to be predicted is also one of the issues that need to be considered.

[0043] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions of this application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above-mentioned related technologies are optional solutions and can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, all of which fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application include at least some of the following contents.

[0044] This application provides a wireless communication method applied to a terminal device, as shown in Figure 2, including:

[0045] S201. The terminal device receives first information sent by the network device, the first information being used to configure the configuration related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result.

[0046] This application provides a wireless communication method applied to a network device, as shown in Figure 3, including:

[0047] S301. The network device sends first information to the terminal device, the first information being used to configure the configuration related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result.

[0048] The wireless communication method shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3 will now be described.

[0049] In some embodiments, the frequency domain prediction function for measurement results includes a frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results and / or a frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results.

[0050] The frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results can be used in the following scenarios:

[0051] Scenario 1: Using 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 different frequency points to be predicted. The cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points have been filtered by Layer 3. The function described in Scenario 1 can be simply referred to as 'Frequency Domain Prediction Function of Cell Measurement Results after Layer 3 Filtering'.

[0052] Scenario 2: Using the cell-level measurement results of the 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 the cells deployed on the measured frequency points have been filtered by Layer 1 but not by Layer 3. The function described in Scenario 2 can be simply referred to as 'Frequency Domain Prediction Function of Cell Measurement Results after Layer 1 Filtering'.

[0053] Example of frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results: The terminal device has obtained the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 through actual measurement. It is known that the cell measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 can be predicted from the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 (for example, cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 have spatial correlation with cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1; a common spatial correlation is cell co-location). Therefore, inference technology (such as artificial intelligence (AI) inference technology) can be used to predict the cell measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 based on the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1. This inference technology is called the frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results. If the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 consider layer 3 filtering, it corresponds to scenario one above; if the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 only consider layer 1 filtering but not layer 3 filtering, it corresponds to scenario two above.

[0054] The frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results can be used in the following scenarios:

[0055] Scenario 3: Using 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'.

[0056] Scenario 4: Using 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'.

[0057] Example of beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function: The terminal device has obtained the beam measurement result of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 through the actual measurement process. It is also known that the beam measurement results of beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 can be predicted from the beam measurement result of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 (for example, beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 have spatial correlation with beam 1 deployed on frequency 1. A common spatial correlation can be beam co-location scenario). Then, the beam measurement results of beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 can be predicted from the beam measurement result of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 using inference technology (such as AI inference technology). This inference technology is called beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function. If the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 take into account layer 3 filtering, then it corresponds to scenario 3 above; if the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 only take into account layer 1 filtering but not layer 3 filtering, then it corresponds to scenario 4 above.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first information includes one or more of the following:

[0059] First indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the first frequency point, the first frequency point is the measured frequency point and / or the frequency point to be predicted;

[0060] One or more second information, the second information being used to indicate configurations related to one or more second cells associated with the first cell, the first cell being a cell deployed on the first frequency point and requiring actual measurement by the terminal device, and the second cell being a cell deployed on the second frequency point and requiring the terminal device to predict measurement results;

[0061] One or more third pieces of information, the third pieces of information being used to indicate the configuration related to a third cell, the third cell being a cell deployed on the first frequency point and requiring the terminal device to predict measurement results.

[0062] In some implementations, the first frequency point is used as the measured frequency point; in others, it is used as the frequency point to be predicted; and in still others, it is used as both the measured and predicted frequency points. For the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results, if the first frequency point is used as the measured frequency point, it means that the measured cell measurement results of cells deployed on other frequency points (e.g., the second cell mentioned above) are used to predict the cell measurement results of cells deployed on other frequency points (e.g., the second cell mentioned above). If the first frequency point is used as the predicted frequency point, it means that the measured cell measurement results of cells deployed on other frequency points are used to predict the cell measurement results of cells deployed on the first frequency point (e.g., the third cell mentioned above). If the first frequency point is used as both the measured and predicted frequency points, it means that the cell measurement results of the first portion of cells deployed on the first frequency point (e.g., the first cell mentioned above) are used to predict the cell measurement results of cells deployed on other frequency points (e.g., the first cell mentioned above). The first frequency point is obtained by the terminal device through actual measurement. If the cell measurement results of some cells deployed on other frequency points can be inferred from the cell measurement results of the first cell, then for the inter-frequency cells whose cell measurement results are obtained through the inference process, the first frequency point is the measured frequency point. This also means that the cell measurement results of the second group of cells deployed on the first frequency point (such as the third cell mentioned above) are obtained by the terminal device through a prediction process. In this scenario, the cell measurement results of the third cell are obtained by the terminal device through inference from the measured cell measurement results of some cells deployed on other frequency points. From the perspective of the third cell, the first frequency point is the frequency point to be predicted. The first indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the first frequency point. The first frequency point is either a measured frequency point, a frequency point to be predicted, or both (i.e., it serves as both a measured frequency point and a frequency point to be predicted).

[0063] In some implementations, the first indication information is a type of frequency identification information. In one example, the first indication information is represented by an absolute radio-frequency channel number (ARFCN).

[0064] If the measurement results of any cell deployed on the first frequency point need to be obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process, then the first frequency point is called the measured frequency point, and the first indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the measured frequency point. If the measurement results of any cell deployed on the first frequency point need to be obtained by the terminal device through a prediction process (i.e., if the measurement results of any cell deployed on the first frequency point cannot be obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process), then the first frequency point is called the frequency point to be predicted, and the first indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the frequency point to be predicted. If the measurement results of some cells deployed on the first frequency point can be obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process, while the measurement results of other cells deployed on the first frequency point need to be obtained by the terminal device through a prediction process, then the first frequency point is both the measured frequency point and the frequency point to be predicted, and the first indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to both the measured frequency point and the frequency point to be predicted.

[0065] The following sections describe the cases where the first frequency point is used as the measured frequency point, the first frequency point is used as the frequency point to be predicted, and the first frequency point is used as both the measured frequency point and the frequency point to be predicted.

[0066] For scenario one, the first frequency point is used as the measured frequency point.

[0067] When the first frequency point is used as the measured frequency point, the first information includes first indication information and one or more second information.

[0068] Based on the received first information, the terminal device uses the actual measurement results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point to predict the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on each of the one or more second frequency points.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first information may not include information relating to the third information, but may include indication information indicating that the third information is not included.

[0070] The first information includes one or more pieces of second information, with different second information associated with different first cells. Different first cells are associated with different sets of second cells, and these different second cells can be deployed on the same second frequency point or on different second frequency points. Here, the second frequency point is the frequency to be predicted when the first frequency point is the measured frequency point.

[0071] In one example, the first frequency point is f1, and the first information includes three pieces of second information (hereinafter referred to as second information 1, second information 2, and second information 3, respectively). Among them, second information 1 indicates that the first cell 1 deployed on f1 is associated with the second cell 1 deployed on f2 and the second cell 2 deployed on f3; second information 2 indicates that the first cell 2 deployed on f1 is associated with the second cell 3 deployed on f2; and second information 3 indicates that the first cell 3 deployed on f1 is associated with the second cell 4 deployed on f4. In this case, it can be understood that: the cell measurement results of the second cell 1 deployed on f1 and the second cell 2 deployed on f3 are predicted using the cell measurement results of the first cell 1 deployed on f1; the cell measurement results of the second cell 3 deployed on f2 are predicted using the cell measurement results of the first cell 3 deployed on f1; and the cell measurement results of the second cell 4 deployed on f4 are predicted using the cell measurement results of the first cell 3 deployed on f1. In the above prediction process, f1 is the measured frequency point, and f2, f3, and f4 are the frequencies to be predicted (i.e., the second frequencies).

[0072] In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate the configuration of one or more second cells associated with the first cell, wherein the first cell is a cell deployed on a first frequency point and requires actual measurement by the terminal device, and the second cell is a cell deployed on a second frequency point and requires the terminal device to predict the measurement results.

[0073] From the perspective of the first cell, the first frequency point is the measured frequency point. The measurement result of the first cell is obtained by the terminal device through the measurement reference signal associated with the actual measured first frequency point. The measurement results of one or more second cells associated with the first cell are obtained based on the measurement result of the first cell and using a prediction process. In one embodiment, an AI model is used, with the measurement result of the first cell as input to the AI ​​model to obtain the measurement results of one or more second cells associated with the first cell. Here, the second frequency point is the frequency point to be predicted, and the second frequency point is different from the first frequency point. The second frequency point being different from the first frequency point can be understood as the frequency corresponding to the second frequency point being different from the frequency corresponding to the first frequency point. It should be further noted that each first cell can be associated with one or more second cells, and different second cells can be deployed on the same second frequency point or on different second frequency points.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second information includes:

[0075] The physical cell identifier (PCI) information corresponding to the first cell; and,

[0076] One or a second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the second frequency point or the second indication information is a first identification information associated with the second frequency point.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first identification information is a measurement target identifier (MeasObjectId) or a measurement identifier (MeasId), and the second indication information is any one of the one or more second indication information. Specifically, the MeasObjectId identifies a MeasObjectNR configuration, which includes configuration related to a measurement target (i.e., a measurement frequency point), and the MeasId is used to associate a MeasObjectNR configuration with a measurement reporting configuration.

[0078] The PCI information of the first cell is used to identify the first cell. In some implementations, cells can be distinguished by a combination of frequency point and PCI. That is, determining the deployment frequency point information and PCI information corresponding to a cell can uniquely identify a cell locally. Since the deployment frequency point information corresponding to the first cell has been determined by the first indication information contained in the first information, by providing the PCI information corresponding to the first cell in the second information, the terminal device can determine a specific cell (i.e., the first cell) deployed on the first frequency point and that needs to be measured by the terminal device. Then, the measurement results of the first cell are used as input to predict the measurement results of one or more second cells associated with the first cell.

[0079] The second indication information is used to determine a predicted frequency associated with the first cell. If a first cell is associated with at least two second indication information pieces, then different second indication information pieces are used to indicate different predicted frequencies associated with the first cell. A second indication information piece is used to associate the configuration of the first cell with a predicted frequency (i.e., the second frequency), thereby allowing the terminal device to know which one or more predicted frequency frequencies' deployed cell measurement results can be predicted based on the measurement results of the first cell. In some implementations, the second indication information is used to indicate the frequency information corresponding to the second frequency; in other implementations, the second indication information is the first identification information associated with the second frequency, where the first identification information is a measurement target identifier or a measurement identifier. Both the frequency information corresponding to the second frequency and the first identification information associated with the second frequency allow the terminal device to determine which predicted frequency is associated with the first cell. Different second indication information pieces associated with the same first cell are used to indicate different predicted frequencies associated with the first cell.

[0080] In this embodiment of the application, the first identification information may also be other identification information used to associate the second frequency point, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0081] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration corresponding to the second frequency point is located in the Measurement Target (MeasObjectNR) parameter.

[0082] In this embodiment of the application, the method of using the second indication information as the first identification information associated with the second frequency point saves more configuration overhead.

[0083] In some implementations, the second information includes the PCI information corresponding to the first cell and one or more second indication information.

[0084] In some implementations, the second information may further include one or more third indication information associated with the second indication information, wherein the third indication information is PCI information corresponding to the second cell or configuration index identification information associated with the second cell.

[0085] In this case, the second information includes the PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, and one or more third indication information associated with the second indication information.

[0086] The third indication information is used to indicate the second cell deployed on the second frequency point. Different third indication information is used to indicate different second cells deployed on the second frequency point.

[0087] The third indication information is used to associate the first cell with a second cell deployed on a frequency point to be predicted (i.e., the second frequency point), or the third indication information is used to associate the first cell with a first configuration of a second cell deployed on a frequency point to be predicted, so that the terminal device knows which specific cell (or which cells) deployed on which frequency point to be predicted can be predicted based on the measurement results of the first cell.

[0088] Example: The second information includes the PCI information corresponding to the first cell (represented by PCI 1). PCI 1 is associated with two second indication information (represented by second indication information 1 and second indication information 2, respectively. Assuming second indication information 1 is MeasId 1 and the predicted frequency point corresponding to MeasId 1 is f2, and second indication information 2 is MeasId 2 and the predicted frequency point corresponding to MeasId 2 is f3, and the first cell is deployed on the measured frequency point f1). Second indication information 1 is associated with two third indication information (represented by third indication information 1 and third indication information 2, respectively. Assuming third indication information 1 is PCI 2 and third indication information 2 is PCI 3). Second indication information 2 is associated with one third indication information (represented by third indication information 3, assuming third indication information 3 is PCI 4). Based on the above configuration of one second information, the terminal device knows that the network device is configured to use the measured cell measurement results of the first cell (corresponding to PCI 1) deployed on f1 to predict the second cell 1 (corresponding to PCI 4) deployed on f2. 2) and the cell measurement results of the second cell 2 (corresponding to PCI 3). At the same time, the network equipment configures the terminal equipment to predict the cell measurement results of the second cell 3 (corresponding to PCI 4) deployed on f3 using the measured cell measurement results of the first cell (corresponding to PCI 1) deployed on f1.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first configuration of the second cell includes at least the PCI information corresponding to the second cell; or at least the PCI information corresponding to the second cell and the configuration index identifier information associated with the second cell. If the first configuration of the second cell includes at least the PCI information corresponding to the second cell (in the scenario where the first configuration does not include the configuration index identifier information), then the third indication information is the PCI information corresponding to the second cell, and the first configuration association between the first cell and a second cell deployed on a frequency point to be predicted (i.e., the second frequency point) is realized through the PCI information corresponding to the second cell; if the first configuration of the second cell includes at least the PCI information corresponding to the second cell and the configuration index identifier information associated with the second cell, then the third indication information is the configuration index identifier information associated with the second cell, and the first configuration association between the first cell and a second cell deployed on a frequency point to be predicted (i.e., the second frequency point) is realized through the configuration index identifier information associated with the second cell.

[0090] In this embodiment of the application, the method of using the configuration index identification information associated with the second cell as the third indication information saves configuration overhead.

[0091] In some implementations, the second information does not include the third indication information. In this case, the terminal device can determine, based on the implementation, which specific cells deployed on the second frequency point can be predicted to have measurement results based on the measurement results of the first cell.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, the second information includes PCI information corresponding to the first cell and one or more second indication information, or based on the PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, and one or more third indication information associated with the second indication information, the terminal device can know that the measurement results of one first cell deployed on the measured frequency point (i.e., the first frequency point) can be used to predict the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on one or more predicted frequency points (i.e., the second frequency point). That is, the measurement results of one or more second cells can be predicted through the measurement results of one first cell. This allows the terminal device to clearly understand the range of the measured cell and the range of the predicted cell, avoiding scenarios where incorrect measurement or prediction actions lead to a decrease in the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0093] In some embodiments, the second information further includes:

[0094] The fourth indication information is used to indicate the cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell in the scenario where the first frequency point is the actual measurement frequency point. The cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell is the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor that needs to be considered when predicting the measurement results of the cell deployed on the frequency point to be predicted using the measurement results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0095] Understandably, the cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell is the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor that needs to be considered when predicting the measurement results of the second cell deployed on the second frequency point using the measurement results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0096] For example, if the measurement result of the first cell is R1 and the cell compensation factor is A1, then when using the reasoning process to predict the measurement result of the second cell, it is necessary to consider not only R1 but also A1.

[0097] Based on the received first information, the terminal device uses the actual measurement results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point and the cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell to predict the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on each of the one or more second frequency points.

[0098] Through the fourth instruction information, the network device can explicitly provide the terminal device with the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell when configuring the terminal device to perform the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, thereby assisting the terminal device to obtain a more accurate prediction measurement result of the second cell by using the measured measurement result of the first cell after compensation.

[0099] In some implementations, the cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell can be applied to the measured measurement results of the first cell to obtain the compensated measured measurement results of the first cell. The compensated measured measurement results of the first cell are then input into an AI model to obtain the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on the second frequency point.

[0100] In some implementations, the cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell and the measured results of the first cell are input into the AI ​​model to obtain the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on the second frequency point.

[0101] In addition to the above-mentioned implementation methods, the method of compensating the measured results of the first cell by the cell compensation factor may also include other implementation methods, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0102] Based on the aforementioned information contained in the second information, the terminal device can know that the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on the frequency to be predicted (i.e., the second frequency) can be predicted using the measurement results of one first cell deployed on the measured frequency (i.e., the first frequency). In other words, the measurement results of one or more second cells can be predicted using the measurement results of one first cell. The first and second cells differ not only significantly in their deployment frequencies but also in many other physical characteristics. For example, although the first and second cells share the same site, they may differ in one or more of the following: the size of the physical beam corresponding to the transmitted reference signal may be different, the angle of the transmitting antenna may be different, the actual deployment height of the transmitting antenna may be different, and the transmission power of the signal may be different. These differences between the first and second cells are often difficult to compensate for by AI models because they are system errors and vary depending on the first cell in question. In this embodiment, by introducing a cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell, the generalization of the model can be guaranteed, meaning that the model used to achieve the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results is applicable to different first cells.

[0103] In this embodiment, the network device provides fourth indication information to the terminal device, which can improve the generalization of the model deployed on the terminal device side, thereby assisting the terminal device in obtaining a more accurate predicted measurement result of the second cell using the compensated measured measurement result of the first cell.

[0104] In some embodiments, the second information further includes: second identification information, which is used to indicate applicable conditions related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0105] In one embodiment, the second identification information is an identity (ID) identifier.

[0106] In one embodiment, the second identification information is used to indicate the applicable conditions that the model related to the functional characteristics needs to meet. By carrying the second identification information in the second information, the terminal device can be assisted in selecting a suitable AI model for implementing the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0107] When the second information includes second identification information, the terminal device, based on the received first information, uses the second identification information to select an AI model that meets the applicable conditions, inputs the actual measurement results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point into the selected AI model, and obtains the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on each of the one or more second frequency points.

[0108] When the second information includes the fourth indication information and the second identification information, the terminal device, based on the received first information, selects an AI model that meets the applicable conditions using the second identification information, inputs the actual measurement results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point and the cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell into the selected AI model, or uses the compensated actual measurement results of the first cell on the first frequency point obtained using the cell compensation factor corresponding to the first cell to obtain the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on each of the one or more second frequency points.

[0109] The second identification information, indicating the applicable conditions, is used to ensure the consistency of model performance between the model training and model inference processes. Each type of dataset used for model training can be associated with a second identification information, and the resulting model can also be associated with that second identification information after training. When a terminal device arrives at a network environment, if the second identification information indicated in the inference-related configuration provided by the network device is the same as the second identification information associated with the corresponding function model stored on the terminal device, then the model stored on the terminal device is considered to at least satisfy the applicable conditions.

[0110] The model deployed on the terminal device may not necessarily achieve good working performance if it only meets the applicable conditions indicated by the second identification information included in the first information. However, if none of the applicable conditions are met, it can be considered that the corresponding model cannot work with high performance. The applicable conditions are only one of the conditions that need to be met to achieve the high-performance working requirements of the model.

[0111] In some embodiments, the second identification information is associated with the first cell; or, the second identification information is associated with the network device.

[0112] When the second identification information is related to the first cell, the second identification information is used to indicate the applicable conditions related to the first cell.

[0113] When the second identification information is related to a network device, the second identification information is used to indicate the applicable conditions related to the network device.

[0114] Here, the second 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 program, data, etc.).

[0115] In this embodiment of the application, the second identification information is explicitly included in the second information, which allows the terminal device to accurately select the applicable functional characteristics based on the second identification information (which can also be understood as assisting the terminal device in accurately selecting the applicable AI model), and avoids the terminal device from mistakenly selecting inapplicable functional characteristics (which can also be understood as mistakenly selecting an inapplicable AI model) which would lead to a decrease in communication performance.

[0116] In some embodiments, the first information further includes: a sixth indication information, the sixth indication information being used to indicate a first frequency compensation factor corresponding to the first frequency point in the scenario where the first frequency point is the measured frequency point, the first frequency compensation factor being a frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor that needs to be considered when predicting the measurement results of a cell deployed on the frequency point to be predicted using the measurement results of a cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0117] Understandably, the first frequency compensation factor is a frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor that needs to be considered when using the measurement results of the cell deployed on the first frequency point to predict the measurement results of the cell deployed on the second frequency point.

[0118] When the first information includes the sixth indication information, the terminal device, based on the received first information, uses the actual measurement results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point and the first frequency compensation factor to obtain the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on each of the one or more second frequency points through an inference process.

[0119] Through the sixth indication information, the network device can explicitly provide the terminal device with the frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor (i.e., the sixth indication information) corresponding to the measured frequency point when configuring the terminal device to perform the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result, thereby assisting the terminal device to obtain the predicted measurement result of the second cell with higher accuracy by using the measured measurement result of the first cell after compensation.

[0120] In some implementations, the first frequency compensation factor can be applied to the measured results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point to obtain the compensated measured results of the first cell. The compensated measured results of the first cell are then input into the AI ​​model to obtain the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on the second frequency point.

[0121] In some implementations, the first frequency compensation factor and the measured results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point are both input into the AI ​​model as model input parameters, thereby using the inference process to obtain the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on the second frequency point.

[0122] In addition to the above-described implementation methods, the first frequency compensation factor may also include other implementation methods for compensating the measured results of the first cell deployed on the first frequency point. This application embodiment does not limit these implementation methods.

[0123] Based on the aforementioned information contained in the second information, the terminal device can know that the measurement results of one or more second cells deployed on the frequency to be predicted (i.e., the second frequency point) can be predicted using the measurement results of one first cell deployed on the measured frequency point (i.e., the first frequency point). That is, the measurement results of one or more second cells can be predicted using the measurement results of one first cell. The first and second cells have significant differences in their deployment frequencies. This significant frequency difference leads to significant differences in the propagation characteristics of physical signals transmitted at different frequencies, such as significantly different attenuation characteristics. These differences in signal propagation characteristics caused by frequency differences are often difficult to compensate for by AI models because these differences are system errors and vary depending on the frequency point of interest. In this embodiment, by introducing a first frequency compensation factor, the generalization of the model can be guaranteed, meaning that the model used to achieve the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results is applicable to different frequency points.

[0124] In this embodiment, the network device provides the sixth indication information to the terminal device, which can improve the generalization of the model deployed on the terminal device side, thereby assisting the terminal device in obtaining a more accurate predicted measurement result of the second cell using the compensated measured measurement result of the first cell.

[0125] In the embodiments of this application, when the first frequency point is only a measured frequency point, in some implementations, the first information includes first indication information and one or more second information; in other implementations, the first information includes first indication information, one or more second information and sixth indication information.

[0126] In some embodiments, the second information may include any of the following:

[0127] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell and one or more second indication information; or...

[0128] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, and one or more third indication information associated with the second indication information; or...

[0129] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, and a fourth indication information; or...

[0130] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, one or more third indication information associated with the second indication information, and fourth indication information; or

[0131] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, and second identification information; or...

[0132] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, one or more third indication information associated with the second indication information, and second identification information; or

[0133] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, fourth indication information, and second identification information; or...

[0134] The PCI information corresponding to the first cell, one or more second indication information, one or more third indication information associated with the second indication information, fourth indication information, and second identification information.

[0135] For scenario two, the first frequency point is used as the frequency point to be predicted.

[0136] When the first frequency point is used as the frequency point to be predicted, the first information includes first indication information and one or more third information.

[0137] Based on the received first information, the terminal device predicts the measurement results of one or more third cells deployed on the first frequency point using the actual measurement results of the cells deployed on the measured frequency point. In some embodiments, the terminal device predicts the measurement results of one or more third cells deployed on the first frequency point based on the received first information using the actual measurement results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency point.

[0138] In some embodiments, the first information may not include information relating to the second information, but may include indication information indicating that the second information is not included.

[0139] The first information includes one or more pieces of third information, with different pieces of third information associated with different third cells. The third cell is a cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0140] In one example, the first frequency point is f1, and the first information includes the third information associated with the following third cells respectively: cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3. In this case, it can be understood as: using the measurement results of the cells deployed on the obtained measured frequency point to predict the measurement results of cells 1, cell 2, and cell 3 deployed on the frequency point to be predicted f1.

[0141] In some embodiments, the third information is used to indicate the configuration related to the third cell.

[0142] From the perspective of the third cell, the first frequency point is the frequency point to be predicted. For the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, the measurement results of the third cell are predicted based on the actual measurement results of the cells deployed on the third frequency point. At this time, the third frequency point is the actual measured frequency point and the frequency corresponding to the third frequency point is different from the frequency corresponding to the first frequency point.

[0143] In some embodiments, the third information includes: PCI information corresponding to the third cell.

[0144] The PCI information of the third cell is used to identify the third cell.

[0145] In some implementations, the first frequency point is used as the frequency point to be predicted. The measurement results of one or more third cells deployed on the first frequency point need to be predicted using the measured measurement results of cells deployed on the third frequency point (i.e., the measured frequency point). The third information needs to include at least the PCI information corresponding to the third cell. This PCI information can help the terminal device confirm which cell deployed on the first frequency point needs to have its measurement results predicted in the scenario where the first frequency point is the frequency point to be predicted.

[0146] In some embodiments, the third information further includes one or more of the following:

[0147] The configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell;

[0148] The fifth indication information is used to indicate the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell in the scenario where the first frequency point is the frequency point to be predicted. The cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell is the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor that needs to be considered when predicting the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point using the measurement results of the cell deployed on the measured frequency point.

[0149] In some implementations, the third information also includes the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell. In this case, the third information includes the PCI information of the third cell and the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell.

[0150] In some implementations, the third information also includes fifth indication information. In this case, the third information includes the PCI information of the third cell and the fifth indication information.

[0151] In some implementations, the third information also includes the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell and the fifth indication information. In this case, the third information includes the PCI information of the third cell, the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell, and the fifth indication information.

[0152] The PCI information of the third cell and / or the configuration index identification information associated with the third cell are used to determine the second configuration of the third cell deployed on the frequency point to be predicted, so that the terminal device knows which specific cell deployed on the first frequency point can be predicted by using the measured measurement results of the cell deployed on the third frequency point (i.e., the measured frequency point).

[0153] If the second configuration of the third cell includes at least the PCI information corresponding to the third cell, then the second configuration association between the cell on the third frequency point (i.e., the measured frequency point) and a third cell deployed on a frequency point to be predicted (i.e., the first frequency point) is realized through the PCI information corresponding to the third cell; if the second configuration of the third cell includes at least the PCI information corresponding to the second cell and the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell, then the second configuration association between the cell on the third frequency point (i.e., the measured frequency point) and a third cell deployed on a frequency point to be predicted (i.e., the first frequency point) is realized through the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell.

[0154] In this embodiment of the application, logically speaking, the meaning of the information content contained in the third information is similar to the meaning of the information content contained in the first configuration of the second cell mentioned above. The only difference is the perspective of the information description. When describing the information content contained in the first configuration of the second cell, the first frequency point is the measured frequency point, and the second cell is the cell deployed on the second frequency point (i.e., the frequency point to be predicted). However, when describing the information content contained in the third information, the first frequency point is the frequency point to be predicted, the third cell is the cell deployed on the first frequency point, and the fourth cell is the cell deployed on the third frequency point (i.e., the measured frequency point).

[0155] In the case where the third information includes the fifth information, the terminal device, based on the received first information, uses the actual measurement results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency point and the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell to predict the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0156] Regarding the fifth indication information, it is understood that the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell is the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor that needs to be considered when predicting the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point using the measurement results of the cell deployed on the third frequency point.

[0157] Through the fifth instruction information, the network device can explicitly provide the terminal device with the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell when configuring the terminal device to perform the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results. This helps the terminal device to obtain a more accurate predicted measurement result of the third cell by using the measured measurement results of the fourth cell and the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell.

[0158] In some implementations, the measured results of the fourth cell are used as input parameters to the AI ​​model to obtain preliminary measurement results of the third cell. Then, the preliminary measurement results of the third cell and the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell are used to obtain the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0159] In some implementations, the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell and the measured results of the fourth cell are simultaneously input into the AI ​​model as input parameters. After the inference process, the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point are obtained.

[0160] In addition to the above-mentioned implementation methods, the interaction between the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell and the measured results of the fourth cell may also include other implementation methods, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0161] Suppose that, based on the network device configuration information, the terminal device determines to predict the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency (i.e., the frequency to be predicted) using the measurement results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency (i.e., the measured frequency). The third and fourth cells differ not only significantly in their deployed frequencies but also in many other physical characteristics. For example, although the third and fourth cells share the same site, they may differ in one or more of the following: the size of the physical beam corresponding to the transmitted reference signal may be different, the angle of the transmitting antenna may be different, the actual deployment height of the transmitting antenna may be different, and the transmission power of the signal may be different. These differences are often difficult to compensate for by AI models because they are system errors and vary depending on the third cell in question. In this embodiment, the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell ensures the generalization of the model, meaning that the model used to achieve the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results is applicable to different third cells.

[0162] In this embodiment of the application, the network device provides this information to the terminal device, which can improve the generalization of the model deployed on the terminal device side (that is, the AI ​​model can be applied to different third cells), and assist the terminal device in obtaining more accurate predicted measurement results of the third cell by using the measured measurement results of the fourth cell and the frequency domain prediction cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell.

[0163] In some embodiments, the third information further includes:

[0164] The third identification information is used to indicate the applicable conditions related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0165] In one embodiment, the third identification information is an ID identifier.

[0166] In one embodiment, the third identification information is used to indicate the applicable conditions that the model related to the functional characteristics needs to meet. By carrying the third identification information in the third information, the terminal device can be assisted in selecting a suitable AI model for implementing the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0167] In this embodiment of the application, the physical meaning of the third identification information can be referred to the relevant description of the second identification information, and will not be repeated here.

[0168] In some embodiments, the third identification information is associated with the third cell. In this case, the third identification information is used to indicate applicable conditions associated with the third cell.

[0169] When the third information includes third identification information, the terminal device, based on the received first information, uses the third identification information to select an AI model that meets the applicable conditions, inputs the actual measurement results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency point into the selected AI model, and obtains the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0170] When the third information includes the fifth instruction information and the third identification information, the terminal device, based on the received first information, selects an AI model that meets the applicable conditions using the third identification information, inputs the actual measurement results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency point and the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell into the selected AI model to obtain the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point, or inputs the actual measurement results of the fourth cell as the input parameters of the model into the AI ​​model to obtain the preliminary measurement results of the third cell, and then uses the preliminary measurement results of the third cell and the cell compensation factor corresponding to the third cell to obtain the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency point.

[0171] In this embodiment of the application, the third identification information is explicitly included in the third information, which allows the terminal device to accurately select the applicable functional characteristics based on the third identification information (which can also be understood as assisting the terminal device in accurately selecting the applicable AI model), and avoids the terminal device from mistakenly selecting inapplicable functional characteristics (which can also be understood as mistakenly selecting an inapplicable AI model), which would lead to a decrease in communication performance.

[0172] In some embodiments, the first information further includes: seventh indication information, which is used to indicate a second frequency compensation factor corresponding to the first frequency point in the scenario where the first frequency point is the frequency point to be predicted. The second frequency compensation factor is a frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor that needs to be considered when predicting the measurement results of the cell deployed on the first frequency point using the measurement results of the cell deployed on the measured frequency point.

[0173] Understandably, the second frequency compensation factor is a frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor that needs to be considered when predicting the measurement results of a cell deployed on the first frequency point using the measurement results of a cell deployed on the third frequency point.

[0174] If the first information includes the seventh indication information, the terminal device, based on the received first information, uses the actual measurement results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency point and the second frequency compensation factor to obtain the measurement results of one or more third cells deployed on the first frequency point.

[0175] Through the seventh indication information, the network device can explicitly provide the terminal device with the frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor (i.e., the seventh indication information) corresponding to the frequency point to be predicted when configuring the terminal device to perform the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results. This helps the terminal device to obtain the predicted measurement results of the third cell with higher accuracy by using the measured measurement results of the fourth cell and the frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor corresponding to the frequency point to be predicted.

[0176] In some implementations, the measured results of the fourth cell are used as input parameters to the AI ​​model to obtain preliminary measurement results of the third cell. Then, the preliminary measurement results of the third cell and the second frequency compensation factor corresponding to the first frequency are used to obtain the measurement results of one or more third cells.

[0177] In some implementations, the second frequency compensation factor and the measured results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency point are simultaneously input into the AI ​​model as input parameters. After the inference process, the measurement results of one or more third cells deployed on the first frequency point are obtained.

[0178] In addition to the above-described implementation methods, the interaction between the second frequency compensation factor and the measured results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency point may also include other implementation methods, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0179] Suppose that, based on the network device configuration information, the terminal device determines to predict the measurement results of the third cell deployed on the first frequency (i.e., the frequency to be predicted) using the measurement results of the fourth cell deployed on the third frequency (i.e., the measured frequency). The third and fourth cells have significant differences in their deployed frequencies. This significant frequency difference leads to significant differences in the propagation characteristics of physical signals transmitted at different frequencies. For example, the attenuation characteristics of physical signals transmitted at different frequencies are significantly different. Such differences in signal propagation characteristics caused by frequency differences are often difficult for AI models to compensate for, because these differences are systematic errors and vary depending on the frequency of interest. In this embodiment, the seventh indication information ensures the generalization of the model (i.e., the model used to implement the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results is applicable to different frequency points).

[0180] In this embodiment of the application, the network device provides the seventh indication information to the terminal device, which can improve the generalization of the model deployed on the terminal device side (that is, the AI ​​model can be applied to different frequencies to be predicted), and assist the terminal device in obtaining the predicted measurement results of the third cell with higher accuracy by using the measured measurement results of the fourth cell and the frequency domain prediction frequency compensation factor corresponding to the frequency to be predicted.

[0181] In the embodiments of this application, when the first frequency point is only the frequency point to be predicted, in some implementations, the first information includes first indication information and one or more third information; in some implementations, the first information includes first indication information, one or more third information and seventh indication information.

[0182] In some embodiments, the third information includes any of the following:

[0183] PCI information corresponding to the third cell; or

[0184] The PCI information corresponding to the third cell and the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell; or,

[0185] The PCI information corresponding to the third cell and the fifth indication information; or...

[0190] The PCI information corresponding to the third cell, the configuration index identifier information associated with the third cell, the fifth indication information, and the third identifier information.

[0191] Understandably, in some embodiments, the third frequency point and the first frequency point are different frequencies. In some implementations, the third frequency point is a frequency point that is a measured frequency point, and the first information associated with the third frequency point includes first indication information and one or more second information; or, the first information associated with the third frequency point includes first indication information, one or more second information, and sixth indication information. Through one or more second information, it can be confirmed that one or more first cells deployed on the third frequency point can predict one or more third cells deployed on the first frequency point (from the perspective of the third frequency point, the third cell deployed on the first frequency point is referred to as the second cell in the second information associated with the third frequency point; in this case, the second cell is the predicted cell, and the first cell is the measured cell).

[0192] In scenario three, the first frequency point serves as both the measured frequency point and the frequency point to be predicted.

[0193] The first frequency point serves as both the measured frequency point and the frequency point to be predicted. That is, the measurement results of a portion of the cells deployed on the first frequency point are obtained by the terminal equipment through the actual measurement process, while the measurement results of another portion of the cells deployed on the first frequency point are obtained by the terminal equipment through the prediction process.

[0194] When the first frequency point is both the measured frequency point and the frequency point to be predicted, the first information includes first indication information, one or more second information, and one or more third information.

[0195] Here, the description of the second information can be found in the description of the second information in Case 1, and the description of the third information can be found in the description of the third information in Case 2. It will not be repeated here.

[0217] In this embodiment, the association between measured cells and cells to be predicted is configured to the terminal device through measurement configuration. One measured cell can be associated with one or more cells to be predicted, and the two are associated through index or PCI parameters.
