The following describes in detail a reporting method, device, and apparatus and a storage medium provided by embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1a is a flowchart of a reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method is performed by a UE (User Equipment), and as shown in fig. 1a, the method may include the following steps:

step 101a, obtaining indication information sent by a network device.

It is noted that in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a UE may be a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user. The UE may communicate with one or more core networks via a RAN (Radio Access Network ), which may be an internet of things terminal such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with an internet of things terminal, for example, a fixed, portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted device. Such as a Station (STA), subscriber unit (STA), subscriber Station (STA), mobile Station (mobile), remote Station (remote), access point, remote terminal (remote), access terminal (access terminal), user device (user), or user agent (user agent). Alternatively, the UE may be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, the UE may be a vehicle-mounted device, for example, a laptop with a wireless communication function, or a wireless terminal externally connected to the laptop. Alternatively, the UE may be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside devices with a wireless communication function.

Among other things, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the indication information may be used to indicate a reporting amount (reporting quality) of CSI (Channel State Information ) that the UE needs to report and configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the reporting amount may specifically be a reporting amount required to be reported in an AI-implemented reporting process (such as a CSI reporting process).

And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the reporting amount to be reported may be configured in report quality in CSI report config. And the reporting amount indicated by the indication information to be reported at least comprises feature vector information and/or full channel information. Wherein, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least the precoding matrix information may be included in the eigenvector information; among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the precoding matrix information may be an AIPMI (Artificial Intelligent Precoding Matrix Indicator, artificial intelligence precoding matrix information) or a type3PMI. And, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned full channel information may refer to the entire channel matrix information; in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the full channel information may be AICSI or TypeA CSI.

The specific reporting situation corresponding to the feature vector information or the full channel information will be described in detail in the following embodiments.

And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount may include RI, so that the subsequent UE may calculate the reporting amount based on the value of RI. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount may not include RI. In still another embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration information corresponding to the report amount may include a report amount format. The report amount format may include a wideband format and/or a subband format corresponding to the report amount. When the reporting amount format included in the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount is a sub-band format, the UE reports the reporting amounts on all sub-bands by default. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount may further include a sub-band ID (Identity, sequence number) to be reported. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sub-band ID to be reported may be the ID of all sub-bands. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the sub-band ID to be reported may also be the ID of a partial sub-band. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the to-be-reported subband ID may be an ID corresponding to a subband having a subband width of X RBs (Resource blocks), where X is an integer.

Step 102a, calculating the reporting amount based on the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount, and sending the reporting amount to the network device.

Among other things, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, an algorithm may be utilized to calculate the reporting amount based on configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount and channel measurement information. The algorithm may be an artificial intelligence algorithm based on a particular model (e.g., AI model), among others. And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the particular model may be a model of a fully connected structure and/or a transform (translation layer) model, etc. The channel measurement information may be information obtained by the UE by measuring CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal ).

And, it should be noted that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the content included in the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount indicated by the indication information in the above step 101 is different, the method for calculating the reporting amount by the UE is different,

in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount in the step 201a includes RI, the UE may calculate the reporting amount based on the RI value configured by the network device. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, if the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount in the step 201a does not include RI, the UE may determine the RI value, and calculate the reporting amount based on the RI value determined by the UE. The method for determining the value of the RI by the UE may be: the UE autonomously determines a value corresponding to the RI based on the channel measurement information and/or the UE determines the value of the RI based on a predefined RI value.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the RI represents the number of ranks, and the value corresponding to the RI may be a positive integer N, which is used to represent the number of available transmission layers of the channel. For example, if the value of RI is 1, it indicates that the number of available transmission layers of the current channel is 1, and accordingly, the feature vector information corresponds to one layer of transmission, and if the value of RI is 2, it indicates that the number of available transmission layers of the current channel is 2, and accordingly, the feature vector information corresponds to two layers of transmission.

Based on this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the calculation of the reporting amount based on the RI-based corresponding value in combination with the algorithm described above can be understood as: so that the calculated reporting amount can be matched with the number of transmission layers indicated by the value corresponding to the RI. For example, when the value corresponding to RI is 1, the calculated reporting amount should be made to match the transmission of the single layer transmission; when the value corresponding to RI is 2, the calculated reporting amount should be made to match the transmission of the two-layer transmission.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, for the report of "feature vector information", the calculated value may specifically be one or more columns of normalized vectors, where the specific column number is determined by RI.

reportAIPMIConfiguration SEQUENCE{

Rank-Indicator ENUMERATED{1,2}OPTIONAL,--Need R

As shown in the above configuration, when a Rank-Indicator in the configuration occurs, the UE determines an AIPMI according to the value of RI. For example ri=1, then the UE calculates eigenvector information of the channel when ri=1. When the Rank-Indicator in the configuration does not appear, the UE automatically determines the RI value according to the measured channel, calculates the eigenvector information of the channel according to the RI value determined by the UE, and reports the reporting amount indicated by the network device (such as the eigenvector information calculated based on the RI value) to the network device.

Further, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the reporting amount formats indicated by the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount in the step 202a are different, the manner in which the UE calculates the reporting amount and the content of the reporting amount sent to the network device are different.

Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the reporting amount format indicated by the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount in the step 202a is a wideband format, the UE needs to determine channel measurement information corresponding to the full bandwidth, determine the reporting amount corresponding to the full bandwidth based on the channel measurement information corresponding to the full bandwidth (e.g., when the reporting amount is feature vector information, the feature vector information may be calculated based on information related to beamforming/precoding of the full bandwidth in the channel measurement information corresponding to the full bandwidth), and report the determined reporting amount corresponding to the full bandwidth to the network device.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the reporting amount format indicated by the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount in the step 202a is a subband format, the UE needs to determine channel measurement information corresponding to each subband to be reported in the full bandwidth, determine the reporting amount corresponding to each subband to be reported based on the channel measurement information corresponding to each subband to be reported (e.g., when the reporting amount is feature vector information, the feature vector information may be calculated based on information related to beamforming/precoding of each subband in the channel measurement information corresponding to each subband), and report the reporting amount corresponding to each subband to the network device.

In summary, in the reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may acquire the indication information sent by the network device, where the indication information is used to indicate the reporting quantity report quality of the CSI that the UE needs to report and the configuration information corresponding to the reporting quantity report quality; then, the UE calculates report quality based on the configuration information corresponding to the report quality, and sends the report quality to the network device. From this, it can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a reporting method for reporting the reporting amount, which may be used to report the reporting amount required to be reported in the reporting process implemented by the AI, so that successful execution of the CSI reporting process implemented by the AI may be ensured, feedback overhead is reduced, and channel estimation accuracy is improved.

Fig. 2a is a flowchart of a reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method is performed by a UE, and as shown in fig. 2a, the method may include the following steps:

step 201a, obtaining indication information sent by a network device, where the indication information is used to indicate a reporting amount required to be reported by a UE and configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount, where the reporting amount required to be reported at least includes feature vector information.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the indication information (i.e. report quality in CSI report config) indicates that the reporting amount to be reported includes feature vector information, the reporting amount to be reported may be a combination of at least one or more of "feature vector information, CQI (Channel Quality Indicator, channel quality indication information), RI, CRI (Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator ), SSB Index (Synchronization Signal Block Index, synchronization signal block Index)", where a specific combination case may be any of the following:

feature vector information;

feature vector information and CQI;

RI, eigenvector information, and CQI;

CRI, RI, eigenvector information, and CQI;

CRI, RI, and feature vector information;

CRI, eigenvector information, and CQI;

CRI, RI, LI (layer index), eigenvector information, and CQI;

CRI, LI, eigenvector information, and CQI;

SSB Index, RI, eigenvector information, and CQI;

SSB Index, RI, and feature vector information;

SSB Index, eigenvector information, and CQI;

SSB Index, RI, LI, eigenvector information, and CQI;

SSB Index, LI, eigenvector information, and CQI.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the reporting amount indicated by the indication information and required to be reported is eigenvector information and CQI, then the UE reports eigenvector information and CQI to the network device, and when the eigenvector information is configured to report in a wideband format, then the UE reports the full-bandwidth eigenvector information to the network.

It should be noted that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, for the case that "the reporting amount includes at least feature vector information", when the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount includes the reporting amount format, the UE may acquire the reporting amount format in the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount configured by the network device through RRC (Radio Resource Control ) signaling. Specifically, the reporting amount format may be configured by the following signaling format.

As can be seen from the above signaling format, the reporting amount format can be configured in the AIpmi-format indicator in the reportFreqConfiguration of RRC signaling. When the windeband AIpmi is correspondingly configured in the AIpmi-format indicator, the report volume format configured by the network equipment is a broadband format. And when the corresponding configuration of the subband ipmi in the AIpmi-format indicator is performed, the reporting amount format configured by the network device is indicated as a subband format, and when the corresponding configuration of the subband ipmi in the AIpmi-format indicator is performed, the csi-reporting band of the RRC signaling may further include a subband ID to be reported, as the signaling format indicated above indicates that the subband ID to be reported may be a subband indicated as 1 in a bit sequence (bit) corresponding to subbands3-subbands11, for example, the bit string of subbands3 is 101, and then the UE reports the first subband and the third subband in the entire BWP (Bandwidth Part).

In addition, it should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the network device indicates the sub-band ID to be reported, the bandwidth range of each sub-band ID to be reported is further indicated, so that the UE can determine each sub-band to be reported based on each sub-band ID to be reported and the bandwidth range thereof, and further calculate the reporting amount corresponding to each sub-band to be reported. The indication manner of the bandwidth range of each sub-band is the same as that of the existing scheme, and is not repeated here.

Step 202a, calculating the reporting amount based on the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount, and sending the reporting amount to the network device.

The specific implementation method of the step 202a may be described with reference to the above embodiment, which is not described herein.

step 301a, obtaining indication information sent by a network device, where the indication information is used to indicate a reporting amount required to be reported by a UE and configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount, where the reporting amount required to be reported at least includes full channel information.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the indication information (i.e. report quality in CSI report config) indicates that the reporting amount to be reported includes full channel information, the reporting amount to be reported may be a combination of at least one or more of "full channel information, CRI, SSB Index, LI", where a specific combination case may be any of the following:

full channel information;

CRI and full channel information;

SSB Index, LI, and full channel information.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the reporting amount indicated by the indication information and required to be reported includes CRI and full channel information, it is indicated that the network device indicates that the UE reports CRI and full channel information, then the UE reports CRI and full channel information to the network device, and when the full channel information is configured to report in a broadband format, then the UE reports full channel information of full bandwidth to the network.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, for the case that the reporting amount includes at least full channel information, when the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount includes the reporting amount format, the UE may acquire the reporting amount format in the configuration information corresponding to the reporting amount configured by the network device through RRC signaling. Specifically, the reporting amount format may be configured by the following signaling format.

As can be seen from the above signaling format, the reporting amount format can be configured in the AIcsi-format indicator in the reportFreqConfiguration of RRC signaling. When the corresponding configuration of the windeband AIpmi in the AIcsi-format indicator, the reporting volume format configured by the network device is a broadband format. And when the corresponding configuration of the subband ipmi in the AIcsi-format indicator is performed, indicating that the reporting amount format configured by the network device is a subband format, and when the corresponding configuration of the subband ipmi in the AIcsi-format indicator is performed, the csi-reporting band of the RRC signaling may further include a subband ID to be reported, where as the signaling format indicated above, the subband ID to be reported may be a subband indicated as 1 in a bit sequence (bit) corresponding to subbands3-subbands11, for example, the bit string of subbands3 is 101, and then the UE reports the first subband and the third subband in the three subbands in the whole BWP.
