Obviously, for the measurement of a large number of candidate cells, a large amount of downlink reference signal overhead is required, as well as the delay required for the UE to measure these downlink reference signals.

需要说明的是,图1只是以示例的形式示意本申请所适用的系统,当然,本申请实施例所示的方法还可以适用于其它系统。此外,本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。还应理解,在本申请的实施例中提到的“指示”可以是直接指示,也可以是间接指示,还可以是表示具有关联关系。举例说明,A指示B,可以表示A直接指示B,例如B可以通过A获取;也可以表示A间接指示B,例如A指示C,B可以通过C获取;还可以表示A和B之间具有关联关系。还应理解,在本申请的实施例中提到的“对应”可表示两者之间具有直接对应或间接对应的关系,也可以表示两者之间具有关联关系,也可以是指示与被指示、配置与被配置等关系。还应理解,在本申请的实施例中提到的“预定义”或“预定义规则”可以通过在设备(例如,包括终端和网络设备)中预先保存相应的代码、表格或其他可用于指示相关信息的方式来实现,本申请对于其具体的实现方式不做限定。比如预定义可以是指协议中定义的。还应理解,本申请实施例中,所述“协议”可以指通信领域的标准协议,例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议,本申请对此不做限定。
传统的移动性方案是基于测量的,属于被动(reactive)的方案,即链路质量下降到一定程度之后才会被发现,从而触发后续的移动性管理流程,如小区切换,但往往具有一定的滞后性。为此,提出了本申请实施例的技术方案,本申请实施例的技术方案,基于模型预测的移动性方案是基于历史测量结果,对未来多个小区的链路性能进行预测,从而选择最优的小区,属于主动(pro-active)的方案,具有很强的前瞻性,因此也可以节省小区切换的时延,降低无线链路失败的风险。让终端从一个链路质量较好的小区直接过度到另外一个链路质量较好的小区,体验不到由于小区切换不及时带来的性能下降。
为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下对本申请实施例的相关技术进行说明,以下相关技术作为可选方案与本申请实施例的技术方案可以进行任意结合,其均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。
1、NR的波束管理
NR系统的第一个版本(即Rel.15)引入了毫米波频段的通信,也即引入了波束管理机制。波束管理可以分为上行和下行的波束管理。其中,下行波束管理包括:下行波束扫描(Beam Sweeping)、UE波束测量和上报(Measurement&Reporting)、网络(Network,NW)的下行波束指示(Beam Indication)等过程;上行波束管理包括:上行波束扫描(UE发送波束扫描SRS)、NW波束测量,以及对UE的上行波束指示和配置。
图2是NR系统中下行波束管理的一例示意图。以下行波束扫描过程为例,可分为3个过程,即P1、P2和P3过程。其中,P1过程指NW扫描不同的发射波束,UE扫描不同的接收波束;P2过程指NW扫描不同的发射波束,UE使用相同的接收波束;P3过程指NW使用相同的发射波束,UE扫描不同的接收波束。通常,P1过程可在P2和P3过程之前执行,例如在图2的例子中,执行顺序可以为P1、P2和P3。一般情况下,NW通过发送下行参考信号—同步信号块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block,SSB)和/或信道状态信息-参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signal,CSI-RS)来完成上述波束扫描过程。
NR Rel.15中的波束上报机制包括:UE通过测量多个发射波束(P2过程)或发射接收波束对(P1过程),将层1参考信号接收功率(L1-Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP,L1-RSRP)最高的L个发射波束及其质量,以信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)的形式上报给NW。NW在解码了UE上报的波束信息后,可考虑下行传输信道和信号,并通过介质访问控制(Media access control,MAC)和/或下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)信令来携带传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indicator,TCI)状态(TCI State)(包含SSB或CSI-RS资源索引作为UE的参考),从而对UE进行波束信息指示。UE使用该指示的SSB或CSI-RS的发射波束对应的接收波束来进行下行接收。
相应地,NR定义了三种上行波束扫描过程,即U1,U2和U3。其中,U1过程包括:UE扫描不同的发射波束,NW扫描不同的接收波束;U2过程包括:UE使用相同的发射波束,NW扫描不同的接收波束;U3过程包括:UE扫描不同发射波束,NW使用相同的接收波束。对于上行波束扫描过程,由于NW对来自UE的波束进行测量,因此不需要UE的波束上报。NW可从测量的上行波束中,选择合适的上行波束指示或配置给UE以进行上行发射。同时,NW可准备好对应的接收波束。
2、NR的小区间波束管理
NR的小区间波束管理仅适用于下行的场景。
在Rel.17的波束管理中,根据UE的能力上报,NW可为UE配置和/或激活对于非服务小区的波束管理功能,包括波束测量、波束上报和波束指示。
UE可测量除服务小区之外的非服务小区,非服务小区具有与服务小区不同的物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier,PCI)。其中,UE能力支持可测量的非服务小区的数量为1、2、3或7。UE通过测量非服务小区的SSB,可选择波束质量较好的下行波束。在一次波束上报中,UE仅能够上报来自一个非服务小区的最多4个下行发射波束,其中包括波束对应的资源索引以及链路质量, 如L1-RSRP。
对于来自非服务小区的波束指示,NW可通过统一TCI State实现。例如,NW可在TCI State中配置来自非服务小区(通过PCI辨别是否为非服务小区)的参考信号。若该TCI state被指示给UE,则说明UE将使用来自该小区的下行波束。
3、NR的层1/层2触发的移动性
在Rel.18的层1/层2(L1/L2)触发的移动性管理中,相对于Rel.17中的小区间波束管理,标准化在测量和上报方面给予了一定程度的增强。具体增强如下,UE可以在NW配置的服务小区和目标小区中进行测量,并在一次上报中给出最多M×L个下行参考信号的测量结果,M和L的最大值基于UE的能力确定。显然,对于大量候选小区(candidate cell)的测量,需要大量的下行参考信号的开销,以及UE测量这些下行参考信号所需的时延,毕竟UE往往不能同时测量多个候选小区的多个波束(对)。
4、神经网络(Neural Network,NN)
1)神经元结构
神经网络是一种由多个神经元节点相互连接构成的运算模型,其中节点间的连接代表从输入信号到输出信号的加权值,称为权重;每个节点对不同的输入信号进行加权求和,并通过特定的激活函数输出。神经元结构如图3所示,其中,a1、a2、……、an和1为神经元的输入,w1、w2、……、wn和b表示权重,Sum表示求和函数,f表示激活函数,t为输出结果。
2)深度神经网络
图4示出了一个简单的神经网络。该神经网络包含输入层、隐藏层和输出层,通过多个神经元不同的连接方式,结合不同的权重和激活函数,可产生不同的输出,进而拟合从输入到输出的映射关系。示例性地,每一个上一级节点可与其全部的下一级节点相连,构成全连接模型。该全连接模型也可以称为深度神经网络(Deep Neural Network,DNN)。该NN模型可用于进行空间域的下行波束预测(Spatial-domain DL beam prediction)或时间域的下行波束预测(Temporal DL beam prediction)。
3)长短期记忆网络(Long Short-Term Memory,LSTM)模型
图5示出了一种LSTM模型。该LSTM模型在时序上可以理解为延展了K个时刻作为输入,等效为K个LSTM单元的级联。每一个LSTM单元的输入是Set Bk(1≤k≤K)中波束(对)的L1-RSRP,Set Bk代表时刻k对应的Set B。
需要说明的是,Set Bk中波束(对)的索引可以通过L1-RSRP的固定排序方式隐含地输入。再完成了K个时刻的L1-RSRP输入后,LSTM模型可以预测接下来的F个时刻的波束预测实例,每个波束预测实例包含最优波束(对)索引,最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量,以及最优波束(对)的持续时间。
5、模型的获得
通过数据集的构建、训练、验证和测试等过程可训练得到一个NN模型。在本申请的实施例中,假设NN模型都已提前通过离线训练或在线训练的方式训练完成。需要说明的是,离线训练和在线训练并非相互排斥。例如,NW可首先通过数据集离线训练的方式得到一个静态的训练结果,该过程可称为离线训练。在NW或UE对NN的使用过程中,随着UE的进一步测量和/或上报,NN模型可继续收集更多的数据,并进行实时的在线训练以优化NN模型的参数,从而达到更好的推断和预测结果。
6、基于人工智能(Artificial Intelligence,AI)/机器学习(Machine Learning,ML)的波束管理
基于AI/ML的波束管理作为R18AI项目的主要用例,定义了两种用例,分别是空间域的下行波束预测(Spatial-domain DL beam prediction)和时间域的下行波束预测(Temporal DL beam prediction)。
空间域的波束预测(BM-Case1)的定义:通过测量Set B中的波束(对)来进行Set A中下行波束空间域预测。Set B要么是Set A的一个子集,要么Set B和Set A是两个不同的波束(对)集合。Set B可以理解为波束(对)的部分子集;Set A可以理解为波束(对)的全集。
时间域的波束预测(BM-Case2)的定义:通过测量K次Set B中的波束(对)来进行未来F次Set A中最优波束(对)的预测。Set B可以是Set A的一个子集,也可以和Set A相同。对于Set B和Set A相同的情况,波束预测为单纯的时间域的波束预测;对于Set B是Set A的一个子集的情况,波束预测为空间域和时域的波束预测。
此外,Set B和Set A还可以是两个不同的集合,Set B是一组少量的宽波束,Set A是一组大量的窄波束,Set B内的少量宽波束在空间上可以大致覆盖Set A内的大量窄波束。
下面对适用于本申请实施例的神经网络模型做简单介绍。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以采用DNN模型进行时域移动性预测,或者,考虑到时域的因素也可以采用LSTM模型进行时域移动性预测。虽然本申请实例的技术方案都是以DNN模型作为示例进行说明的,但不局限于此,其他能够实现时域移动性预测的模型(如LSTM模型)均适用于本申请实施例的技术方案。以下以图6至图8所示的DNN模型作为示例,来说明模型的实现。
图6是适用于本申请实施例的神经网络模型的一例示意图,该模型为最优波束(对)预测模型,可认为该模型解决的是一个多分类问题。该模型可用于拟合Set B的测量结果(如Set B中参考信号/波束(对)的L1-RSRP)到Set A中最优的L个波束(对)之间的关系。其中,Set B的测量结果可作为该模型的输入,输出可以是从全集(Set A)中选取的最优的J个波束(对)索引,即Set A中L1-RSRP最高的J个波束(对)。在图6的例子中,Set B中的波束(对)的数量为M,Set A中的波束(对)的数量为M',J=1,波束(对)#2为L1-RSRP最高的波束(对),也即最优波束(对)。该模型使用的标签为全集中测量的最优(即最高L1-RSRP)的波束(对)索引。
图7是适用于本申请实施例的神经网络模型的另一例示意图,该模型为最优波束质量预测模型,可理解为一个线性回归问题。该模型的输入和输出关系为:从部分子集输入L1-RSRP到最优的K个波束(对)的L1-RSRP的关系。该模型的输入部分与图6所示的模型的输入相同,不同的是,该模型的输出为J(J≥1)个最优的L1-RSRP。在图7的例子中,Set B中的波束(对)的数量为M。该模型使用的标签为全集中测量的最优的K个L1-RSRP,以及对应的K个波束(对)索引。
图8是适用于本申请实施例的神经网络模型的另一例示意图,该模型为最优波束质量和最优波束索引预测模型,可理解为一个线性回归问题。该模型的输入部分与图6所示的模型的输入相同,不同的是,该模型的输出为全集(Set A)中全部波束(对)的L1-RSRP。在全部波束(对)的L1-RSRP中进行从高到低排序,可以选择出最优J(即Top-J)个L1-RSRP,然后按照该最优J个L1-RSRP对应的输出位置,可以找到对应的最优的J个波束(对)索引。因此,图8所示的模型可以实现图6和图7两个模型的功能。
作为一种实现方式,对于DNN模型,可以理解为2个不同的模型,使用相同的输入(即Set B),有两个不同的输出,即一个输出是最优J(即Top-J)个波束(对)索引,另一个是最优J(即Top-J)个波束(对)的链路质量,即L1-RSRP,参照图6和图7所示。作为另一种实现方式,对于DNN模型,通过1个模型可以实现图6和图7两个模型的功能,参照图8。
应理解,模型的输出,还可以理解为推断(Inference)或预测(Prediction)结果,也即,推断和预测可表示相同的含义,可相互替换。
为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下通过具体实施例详述本申请的技术方案。以上相关技术作为可选方案与本申请实施例的技术方案可以进行任意结合,其均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。本申请实施例包括以下内容中的至少部分内容。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的“波束(对)”可以指波束,包括发射波束或接收波束,也可以指波束对,如一对发射波束和接收波束。本申请实施例中的该“波束(对)”的含义适用于下行传输的情况。本申请的实施例中的“波束(对)”还可以称为空间滤波器,也即,波束(对)和空间滤波器可相互替换。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的“下行参考信号资源索引”还可以称为波束(对)索引或者下行参考信号索引或者空间滤波器索引,也即,下行参考信号资源索引、波束(对)索引、下行参考信号索引和空间滤波器索引可相互替换。示例性地,下行参考信号资源索引可以是CSI-RS资源指示(CRI)或SSB资源指示(SSBRI)。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的下行参考信号可包括:信道状态信息-参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signal,CSI-RS)和/或SSB。对下行参考信号进行测量得到的测量结果表征了链路质量。在一些实施方式中,链路质量可包括以下至少一项:参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP)(如L1-RSRP)、信号与干扰加噪声比(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio,SINR)(如L1-SINR)、接收信号的强度指示(Received Signal Strength Indicator,RSSI)(如L1-RSSI)、参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Receiving Quality,RSRQ)(如L1-RSRQ)。
首先,定义第一下行参考信号集和第二下行参考信号集。
第一下行参考信号集为Set B或者Set C(称为Set B/Set C),第二下行参考信号集为Set A。“下行参考信号集”,可以理解为下行参考信号的集合,还可以理解为下行参考信号资源的集合,或者还可以理解为波束(对)的集合。因此,“下行参考信号集”还可以称为“下行参考信号资源集”或“波束(对)集”。
在一些场景中,Set B可以是Set A的一个子集,此时,Set B可以理解为波束(对)的部分子集,Set A可以理解为波束(对)的全集。在另一些场景中,Set B和Set A还可以是两个不同的波束(对)集合。示例性地,Set B可作为测量集,Set A可作为预测集。在本申请的实施例中,神经网络模型(简称模型)可通过测量Set B中的波束来进行Set A中的波束预测。
在一些场景中,Set B为测量集,也是模型的输入集。在另一些场景中,Set C为测量集,从Set C中选择最优的M个波束(对)作为Set B,Set B为模型的输入集,也即,Set B是Set C的一个子集。
在一些实施例中,第一下行参考信号集可包括N(N≥1)个第一下行参考信号子集,其中,每一第一下行参考信号子集可对应于一个小区,可以理解,第一下行参考信号集包括N个小区的第一下行参考信号子集。作为示例,Set B/Set C中的第n(1≤n≤N)个第一下行参考信号子集可记为Set Bn/Set Cn。例如,Set B/Set C中的第1个第一个下行参考信号子集可记为Set B1/Set C1,Set B1/Set C1的索引为1,Set B/Set C中的第2个第一下行参考信号子集可记为Set B2/Set C2,Set B2/Set C2的索引为2,以此类推。应理解,该N个第一下行参考信号子集在Set B/Set C中的顺序是示例性地,该顺序可变更,本申请实施例对此不予限定。
在一些实施例中,第二下行参考信号集可包括P(P≥1)个第二下行参考信号子集,其中,每一第二下行参考信号子集可对应于一个小区,可以理解,第二下行参考信号集包括P个小区的第二下行参考信号子集。作为示例,Set A中的第p(1≤p≤P)个第二下行参考信号子集可记为Set Ap。例如,Set A中的第1个第二下行参考信号子集可记为Set A1,Set A1的索引为1,Set A中的第2个第二下行参考信号子集可记为Set A2,Set A2的索引为2,以此类推。应理解,该P个第二下行参考信号子集在Set A中的顺序是示例性地,该顺序可变更,本申请实施例对此不予限定。
作为一种实现方式,N的值可以等于P的值。作为另一种实现方式,N的值可以与P的值不同。示例性地,N的值可远小P的值,这样,可大大减少需要实际测量的下行参考信号的数量,从而达到降低计算开销和时延的目的。
其次,定义第一模型。
第一模型用于移动性预测,第一模型可以是神经网络模型,如上述DNN模型,或者LSTM模型等。本申请实施例的技术方案可以采用DNN模型进行移动性预测,或者,考虑到时域的因素也可以采用LSTM模型进行移动性预测。虽然本申请实例的技术方案都是以DNN模型作为示例进行说明的,但不局限于此,其他能够实现时域移动性预测的模型(如LSTM模型)均适用于本申请实施例的技术方案。
第一模型为已训练好的模型,可以利用有限的历史波束(对)的测量结果,从全局(多个小区以及对应的全部波束(对))选择最优小区以及该最优小区内的最优波束(对)。
作为一种实现方式,第一模型为终端侧的模型(也可以称为UE侧的模型),或者说,第一模型为部署在终端侧的模型。第一模型可以实现时间域的波束预测,该时间域的波束预测可以是纯时间域的波束预测,或者是时间域和空间域的波束预测。作为另一种实现方式,第一模型为网络设备侧的模型(也可以称为NW侧的模型),或者说,第一模型为部署在网络设备侧的模型。第一模型可以实现时间域的波束预测,该时间域的波束预测可以是纯时间域的波束预测,或者是时间域和空间域的波束预测。
第一模型的输入为K(K≥1)个测量实例,不同的测量实例对应不同的测量时刻,其中每个测量实例均是由终端对第一下行参考信号集中的下行参考信号进行测量得到,即测量实例可以理解为是终端对Set B的测量结果或者Set C的部分测量结果(如Set C中最优的M个波束(对)的测量结果)。
第一模型的输出为F(F≥1)个预测实例,不同的预测实例对应不同的预测时刻,其中每个预测实例均包含P(P≥1)个小区中最优的L(L≥1)个小区索引、和/或每个最优区中最优的J(J≥1)个波束(对)索引、和/或每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
本申请对第一模型的具体网络结构不做限定。神经网络模型还可以称为AI模型或ML模型。
示例性地,图9是本申请实施例提供的一种时域移动性测量和预测的示意图,在图9中,TRP1的覆盖范围为小区#1,TRP2的覆盖范围为小区#2,TRP3的覆盖范围为小区#3。假设UE以一定的速度在多个小区(小区#1,小区#2,小区#1)中漫游,UE移动的轨迹如虚线所示。UE在K(K≥1)个测量时刻进行测量,得到K个测量实例(measurement instance),通过第一模型根据K个测量实例预测未来的F(F≥1)个预测实例(prediction instance),每个预测实例包括最优的L(L≥1)个小区索引,和/或每个最优小区中最优的J(J≥1)个波束(对)索引,和/或每个最优波束(对)对应的链路质量,如L1-RSRP。图9示意出了2个测量实例(即K=2)和2个预测实例(即F=2),在图9中,UE在小区#1中针对测量集(即Set B/Set C)进行两次测量,得到2个测量实例;通过第一模型根据这2个测量实例针对预测集(即Set A)预测得到2个预测实例;UE实际测量的参考信号以实线椭圆表示,未测量但在预测集(即Set A)中的参考信号以虚线椭圆表示。

在一些实施方式中,K个测量实例对应的测量时刻位于第一时段内,F个预测实例对应的预测时刻位于第二时段内,第二时段与第一时段不重叠。
示例性地,图10示意出了测量实例和预测实例的一种时序关系(可以称为类型1的时序关系),在T1时间内,终端对Set B/Set C进行K次测量,得到K个测量实例。基于K个测量实例预可以预测出T2时间内的F个预测实例。
在另一些实施方式中,K个测量实例对应的测量时刻位于K个第一时段内,F个预测实例对应的预测时刻位于K个第一时段的最后一个第一时段内。
示例性地,图11示意出了测量实例和预测实例的另一种时序关系(可以称为类型2的时序关系),在K个T1时间内,终端对Set B/Set C进行K次测量,得到K个测量实例,其中每个T1时间内进行一次T1时间。基于K个测量实例预可以预测出K个T1时间中最后一个T1时间内的F个预测实例。
图12是本申请实施例提供的一种时域移动性预测方法的流程示意图,如图12所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1201:终端获取第一下行参考信号集对应的K个测量实例,K个测量实例基于终端在K个测量时刻对第一下行参考信号集中的下行参考信号进行测量得到,第一下行参考信号集包括N个小区的第一下行参考信号子集;其中,K个测量实例用于基于第一模型获取第二下行参考信号集对应的F个预测实例,不同的预测实例对应不同的预测时刻,第二下行参考信号集包括P个小区的第二下行参考信号子集;K,N,F和P为大于等于1的整数。

时域移动性测量
对于K个测量时刻的每个测量时刻,终端通过物理层测量第一下行参考信号集内的下行参考信号(或者说下行参考信号资源),如SSB(或者说SSB资源)和/或CSI-RS(或者说用于移动的CSI-RS资源)。其中,第k(1≤k≤K)个测量时刻测量的第n(1≤n≤N)个第一下行参考信号子集可以记作Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k,Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k的索引为{n,k},n代表第一下行参考信号子集索引,k代表测量时刻索引。N个第一下行参考信号子集可以对应N个小区,每一第一下行参考信号子集可对应于一个小区,因而,第一下行参考信号子集索引可对应一个小区索引,示例性地,小区索引可以是物理学小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier,PCI)、PCI索引、或者小区配置索引(configuration index of cell)。也就是说,第一下行参考信号子集索引、PCI、PCI索引、小区配置索引之间可以相互替换。

模型的输入和输出
第一模型用于移动性预测,第一模型可以是神经网络模型,如上述DNN模型,或者LSTM模型等。本申请实施例的技术方案可以采用DNN模型进行移动性预测,或者,考虑到时域的因素也可以采用LSTM模型进行移动性预测。虽然本申请实例的技术方案都是以DNN模型作为示例进行说明的,但不局限于此,其他能够实现时域移动性预测的模型(如LSTM模型)均适用于本申请实施例的技术方案。
1)模型的输入
第一模型的输入包括K个测量实例,K个测量实例的输入可以有如下两种方式:
第一种方式:K个测量实例包括:K×N组链路质量。
第二种方式:K个测量实例包括:K×N个索引和K×N组链路质量,K×N个索引和K×N个链路质量具有对应关系;K×N个索引中的每个索引对应一个测量时刻索引和一个小区索引。
这里,对于一个测量实例来说,终端对第一下行参考信号集中的N个下行参考信号子集进行测量,得到N组链路质量,每一个下行参考信号子集对应一组链路质量。假设一个下行参考信号子集包括M(M≥1)个下行参考信号,那么,每组链路质量包括M个链路质量。对于K个测量实例来说,可以得到K×N组链路质量,其中每组链路质量包括M个链路质量。示例性地,终端测量全部的Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k(1≤n≤N,1≤k≤K),得到K×N组链路质量,其中,第k(1≤k≤K)个测量时刻测量的第n(1≤n≤N)个第一下行参考信号子集记作Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k,Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k的索引为{n,k},n代表第一下行参考信号子集索引,k代表测量时刻索引。
这里,每个链路质量对应一个下行参考信号资源索引(如CRI或者SSBRI)、一个第一下行参考信号子集索引(如n索引)、以及一个测量时刻索引(如k索引)。其中,第一下行参考信号子集索引也可以替换为小区索引(如PCI、PCI索引、小区配置索引等),也就是说,第一下行参考信号子集索引和小区索引(如PCI、PCI索引、小区配置索引等)之间可以相互替换。
在上述第一种方式中,如图13至图15中的情况1所示,按照固定的顺序向第一模型输入K×N组链路质量(即全部的Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k中的下行参考信号的链路质量),该顺序与链路质量对应的索引有关,链路质量对应的索引包括:一个下行参考信号资源索引、一个第一下行参考信号子集索引、以及一个测量时刻索引。对于上述第一种方式,由于不需要向第一模型输入链路质量对应的索引,因而可以节省模型输入数据量。
在上述第二种方式中,如图13至图15中的情况2所示,第一模型的输入包括K×N个索引对应的K×N组链路质量(即全部的Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k中的下行参考信号的链路质量),K×N个索引中的每个索引对应一个测量时刻索引(如k索引)和一个小区索引(如PCI、PCI索引、小区配置索引等),其中,小区索引也可以替换为第一下行参考信号子集索引(如n索引)。对于上述第二种方式,由于向第一模型输入了链路质量对应的索引,因而可以灵活地选择不同的Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k组合作为模型的输入。
1)模型的输出
第一模型的输出包括F个预测实例。在一些实施方式中,F个预测实例中的每个预测实例包括以下至少之一:P个小区中的最优L个小区索引;每一个最优小区中的最优J个下行参考信号资源索引;每一个最优下行参考信号资源索引对应的链路质量。在一些实施方式中,每个预测实例还包括:预测实例对应的预测时刻索引。
示例性地,每个预测实例包含预测时刻索引、以及P(P≥1)个小区中最优的L(L≥1)个小区索引、和/或每个最优区中最优的J(J≥1)个波束(对)索引、和/或每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
F个预测实例的输出可以有如下两种方式:
第一种方式:第一模型包括两个模型,分别为模型1和模型2。其中,模型1的输出包括:F个预测实例中每个预测实例对应的P个小区中的最优L个小区索引,以及每一个最优小区中的最优J个下行参考信号资源索引;模型2的输出包括:F个预测实例中每个预测实例对应的每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
第二种方式:第一模型为一个模型。该模型的输出包括:F个预测实例中每个预测实例对应的P个小区中的最优L个小区索引,每一个最优小区中的最优J个下行参考信号资源索引,以及每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
在上述第一种方式中,如图13所示,模型1推断全部的预测时刻f(1≤f≤F)对应的最优L个小区索引以及每一个最优小区中的最优J个下行参考信号资源索引。如图14所示,模型2推断预测时刻f(1≤f≤F)对应的每一个最优小区中每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
在上述第二种方式中,如图15所示,该模型预测全部的Set Ap,f(1≤p≤P,1≤f≤F)的链路质量。针对F个预测实例中每个预测实例,按照链路质量从高到低的排序选出最优L个小区索引,每一个最优小区中的最优J个下行参考信号资源索引,以及每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
本申请实施例中,即负责移动性预测的第一模型可以部署在终端侧,或者部署在网络设备侧。以下结合这两种部署方式对本申请实施例的技术方案分别进行说明。
模型位于终端侧
在一些实施方式中,上述方案中的第一模型位于终端侧。这里,终端获取K个测量实例后,基于本地的第一模型预测得到F个预测实例。
在一些实施方式中,终端向网络设备发送F个预测实例。
在一些实施方式中,F个预测实例的上报方式包括以下至少之一:周期性上报、半持续性上报、非周期上报、基于层1和/或层2的移动性事件上报。
1)周期性/半持续性/非周期上报
在一些实施方式中,对于周期性上报或半持续性上报,终端向网络设备发送F个预测实例之前,网络设备向终端发送第三配置信息,终端接收网络设备发送的第三配置信息,第三配置信息用于配置周期性上报或半持续性上报对应的上报周期和上报偏移量。
在一些实施方式中,第三配置信息承载在RRC信令中。
这里,终端根据网络设备配置的上报周期和上报偏移量以及预测时刻的数目F,周期性或半持续地上报F个预测时刻对应的预测实例。对于周期性上报来说,终端一旦获得网络设备发送的测量配置(如上述第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息)和上报配置(如上述第三配置信息),就会周期性地进行预测实例的上报。对于半持续性上报来说,终端在获得测量配置和上报配置后,还需要获得激活该配置的指令,在获得激活该配置的指令后,周期性地进行预测实例的上报。
在一些实施方式中,对于非周期上报,终端向网络设备发送F个预测实例之前,终端接收网络设备发送的第一下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI),第一DCI用于触发非周期上报。
这里,对于非周期上报,终端在获得测量配置(如上述第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息)和上报配置(如上述第三配置信息)后,还需要获得一个触发测量和上报的指令,网络设备可以通过DCI(即触发指令)来触发终端进行测量和上报,终端在获得该触发指令后,进行K个测量实例的测量以及F个预测实例的上报。
2)基于层1和/或层2的移动性事件上报
在一些实施方式中,终端向网络设备发送F个预测实例之前,终端确定层1和/或层2的移动性事件被触发,向网络设备发送上报请求;终端接收网络设备发送的第二DCI,第二DCI用于调度上报用的物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)。进一步,终端利用该PUSCH发送F个预测实例。
示例性地,在部分或全部预测时刻f(1≤f≤F),终端侧的第一模型的输出触发基于层1和/或层2的移动性事件,终端向网络设备发送上报请求,该上报请求用于请求移动性上报的资源;网络设备同意终端的上报请求,发送DCI,通过该DCI调度PUSCH;终端通过该DCI调度的PUSCH来承载移动性相关的上报内容,即预测实例。
在一些实施方式中,上述层1和/或层2的移动性事件包括以下至少之一:
第一事件,第一事件为:在F个预测时刻中的部分或全部预测时刻,当前服务小区的预测的链路性能好于第一门限或弱于第二门限;
第二事件,第二事件为:在F个预测时刻中的部分或全部预测时刻,当前服务小区的预测的链路性能好于或弱于候选小区的预测的链路性能加上一个偏移量;
第三事件,第三事件为:在F个预测时刻中的部分或全部预测时刻,候选小区的预测的链路性能好于第三门限或弱于第四门限;
第四事件,第四事件为:在F个预测时刻中的部分或全部预测时刻,当前服务小区的预测的链路性能弱于第五门限,且候选小区的预测的链路性能好于第六门限。
上述方案中,当前小区为P个小区中的一个小区,候选小区为P个小区中除当前小区以外的一个小区。当前小区也可以称为当前服务小区,当前小区也可以理解为是移动性管理流程中的一个候选小区。
终端根据上述定义的层1和/或层2的移动性事件以及第一模型的预测结果,进行对比,判断层1和/或层2的移动性事件是否发生(或者说是否被触发),从而自主地选择是否进行F个预测实例的上报。
示例性地,在某个预测时刻f,当第一模型输出的最优小区仍然是终端当前服务小区,那么终端无需进行预测实例的上报,也无需触发后续的移动性操作。
示例性地,在某个预测时刻f,当第一模型输出的最优小区是一个候选小区,且性能好于当前服务小区一个偏移量(如6dB),则终端可以判断第二事件发生,触发终端进行上报请求,该上报请求可以通过上行控制信息(Uplink Control Information,UCI)来承载,网络设备通过DCI为该上报请求调度PUSCH,终端利用该PUSCH发送预测实例。
示例性地,在全部的预测时刻f内,当第一模型输出的最优小区是一个候选小区,且性能好于一个特定的门限(如L1-RSRP高于-50dBm),则终端可以判断第三事件发生,触发终端进行上报请求,该上报请求可以通过UCI来承载,网络设备通过DCI为该上报请求调度PUSCH,终端利用该PUSCH发送预测实例。
本申请实施例中,对于第一模型的预测结果(即F个预测实例),每个预测实例包含从全部的Set Ap,f(1≤p≤P,1≤f≤F)中选择的最优小区索引,和/或该最优小区的最优波束(对)索引,和/或该最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量,终端在一个或多次上报中将该预测结果上报给网络设备。其中,对于最优小区索引,终端可以上报最优小区的小区索引或者最优小区对应的Set Ap,f的索引(即p索引),其中,小区索引可以是PCI,PCI索引,或者候选小区的配置索引(configuration index of candidate cell);对于最优小区的最优波束(对)索引,可以使用NR系统中的下行参考信号资源索引,如SSBRI或CRI;对于链路质量,在一些示例中以L1-RSRP为例,并不排除其他链路质量的指标,如L1-SINR,L1-RSSI,L1-RSRQ或CQI等。
为了承载移动性的时域预测上报,本申请实施例的技术方案提出了以下上报格式:
A)在一些实施方式中,F个预测实例的上报粒度为一个预测实例。
在一些实施方式中,上述上报具有第一格式,第一格式包括:预测时刻索引、L个小区索引、X1个下行参考信号资源索引以及X1个链路质量;其中,L个小区索引为P个小区中的最优L个小区索引;X1个下行参考信号资源索引包括L个小区中每个小区中最优J个下行参考信号资源索引;X1个链路质量与X1个下行参考信号资源索引具有对应关系。
这里,小区索引可以是PCI,PCI索引,候选小区的配置索引,或者Set A的索引(即p索引)。
这里,下行参考信号资源索引也可以替换为者波束(对)索引,下行参考信号索引或者空间滤波器索引。
这里,X1个链路质量可以采用差分方式上报,或者也可以采用非差分方式上报。其中,采用差分方式上报的情况下,X1个链路质量通过一个参考链路质量和X1-1个差分值表示,示例性地,该参考链路质量可以是X1个链路质量中最好的一个链路质量,一个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定一个链路质量,X1-1个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定X1-1个链路质量。进一步,上述上报格式还可以包括参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引。采用非差分方式上报的情况下,X1个链路质量通过一X1个链路质量直接表示。
作为示例,以下给出预测实例采用的上报格式。需要说明的是,下行参考信号资源索引(CRI或SSBR)或者波束(对)索引也可以替换为下行参考信号索引或者空间滤波器索引。
在以下表1中,给出了第f个预测时刻对应的预测实例的上报格式,X1个链路质量采用差分方式上报。在表1中,上报格式包括预测时刻索引,即f值。另外,对于该预测时刻的L个最优小区索引,可以直接上报其PCI,或PCI索引,或候选小区的配置索引,或对应的Set A的索引(即p值)。对于最优波束(对)索引,如果针对的是下行发射波束,那么可以用常规的CRI或SSBRI来表示,如果针对的是下行发射接收波束对,那么可以用波束(对)索引来表示。
表1:第f个预测时刻的移动性预测的上报
B)在一些实施方式中,F个预测实例的上报粒度为F个预测实例。
这里,为了节省上报次数,终端可以将F个预测实例在一次上报中上报给网络设备。
在一些实施方式中,上述上报具有第二格式,第二格式包括F组信息,F组信息与F个预测实例具有对应关系;F组信息中的每组信息包括:预测时刻索引、L个小区索引、X1个下行参考信号资源索引以及X1个链路质量;或者,F组信息中的每组信息包括:L个小区索引、X1个下行参考信号资源索引以及X1个链路质量;其中,L个小区索引为P个小区中的最优L个小区索引;X1个下行参考信号资源索引包括L个小区中每个小区中最优J个下行参考信号资源索引;X1个链路质量与X1个下行参考信号资源索引具有对应关系。
这里,小区索引可以是PCI,PCI索引,候选小区的配置索引,或者Set A的索引(即p索引)。
这里,下行参考信号资源索引也可以替换为者波束(对)索引,下行参考信号索引或者空间滤波器索引。
这里,X1个链路质量可以采用差分方式上报,或者也可以采用非差分方式上报。其中,采用差分方式上报的情况下,X1个链路质量通过一个参考链路质量和X1-1个差分值表示,示例性地,该参考链路质量可以是X1个链路质量中最好的一个链路质量,一个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定一个链路质量,X1-1个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定X1-1个链路质量。进一步,上述上报格式还可以包括参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引。采用非差分方式上报的情况下,X1个链路质量通过一X1个链路质量直接表示。
作为示例,以下给出预测实例采用的上报格式。需要说明的是,下行参考信号资源索引(CRI或SSBR)或者波束(对)索引也可以替换为下行参考信号索引或者空间滤波器索引。
在以下表2中,给出了F个预测时刻对应的预测实例的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。其中,F个预测时刻对应的预测实例可以带有或不带有[预测时刻索引]地进行上报,并不影响网络设备对预测结果的理解。在表2中,上报格式包括F组信息,每组信息代表一个预测实例。对于每个预测实例,其内容可以包括[预测时刻索引](即f值),也可以不包括[预测时刻索引]。每个预测实例的内容与上述表1类似。
表2:F个预测时刻的移动性预测的上报

模型位于网络设备侧
在一些实施方式中,上述方案中的第一模型位于网络设备侧。这里,终端获取K个测量实例后,终端向网络设备发送K个测量实例,网络设备接收终端发送K个测量实例。网络设备基于本地的第一模型预测得到F个预测实例。
在一些实施方式中,K个测量实例的上报方式包括以下至少之一:周期性上报、半持续性上报、非周期上报。
1)周期性/半持续性上报
在一些实施方式中,对于周期性上报或半持续性上报,终端向网络设备发送K个测量实例之前,网络设备向终端发送第四配置信息,终端接收网络设备发送的第四配置信息,第四配置信息用于配置周期性上报或半持续性上报对应的上报周期和上报偏移量。
在一些实施方式中,第四配置信息承载在RRC信令中。
这里,终端根据网络设备配置的上报周期和上报偏移量以及测量时刻的数目K,周期性或半持续地上报K个测量时刻对应的测量实例。对于周期性上报来说,终端一旦获得网络设备发送的测量配置(如上述第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息)和上报配置(如上述第四配置信息),就会周期性地进行测量实例的上报。对于半持续性上报来说,终端在获得测量配置和上报配置后,还需要获得激活该配置的指令,在获得激活该配置的指令后,周期性地进行测量实例的上报。
2)非周期上报
在一些实施方式中,对于非周期上报,终端向网络设备发送K个测量实例之前,网络设备向终端发送第三DCI,终端接收网络设备发送的第三DCI,第三DCI用于触发非周期上报。
这里,对于非周期上报,终端在获得测量配置(如上述第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息)和上报配置(如上述第四配置信息)后,还需要获得一个触发测量和上报的指令,网络设备可以通过DCI(即触发指令)来触发终端进行测量和上报,终端在获得该触发指令后,进行K个测量实例的测量以及上报。
本申请实施例中,对于第一模型的测量结果(即K个测量实例),每个测量实例包含从全部的Set Bn,k/Set Cn,k(1≤n≤N,1≤k≤K)中测量到的链路质量,终端在一个或多次上报中将该测量结果上报给网络设备。对于链路质量,在一些示例中以L1-RSRP为例,并不排除其他链路质量的指标,如L1-SINR,L1-RSSI,L1-RSRQ或CQI等。
为了承载移动性的时域测量上报,本申请实施例的技术方案提出了以下上报格式:
I)在一些实施方式中,K个测量实例的上报粒度为一个测量实例。
这里,对于K个测量实例,网络设备可以配置终端在每次测量之后进行上报,这种上报方式使得每次上报的负荷较小,但需要进行K次上报。
在一些实施方式中,上述上报具有第三格式,第三格式包括:测量时刻索引以及X2个链路质量;其中,X2个链路质量包括N个小区中每个小区的M个下行参考信号的链路质量,M为正整数。这里,上报的内容不包含N个小区索引。

作为另一种实现方式,在差分上报格式中,X2个链路质量划分为N组链路质量,每组链路质量通过一个参考链路质量和M-1个差分值表示,如下表5和表9所示,示例性地,该参考链路质量可以是M个链路质量中最好的一个链路质量,一个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定一个链路质量,M-1个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定M-1个链路质量。进一步,上述上报格式还可以包括参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引。
作为另一种实现方式,在差分上报格式中,X2个链路质量通过一个参考链路质量和X2-1个差分值表示,如下表7所示,示例性地,该参考链路质量可以是X2个链路质量中最好的一个链路质量,一个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定一个链路质量,X2-1个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定X2-1个链路质量。进一步,上述上报格式还可以包括参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引。
II)在一些实施方式中,K个测量实例的上报粒度为K个测量实例。
这里,网络设可以配置终端在K次测量后,将K个测量实例一起上报,这种上报方式使得一次上报的负荷较大,但只需要一次上报。
在一些实施方式中,上述上报具有第五格式,第五格式包括:K组信息,K组信息与K个测量实例具有对应关系;K组信息中的每组信息包括:X2个链路质量;其中,X2个链路质量包括N个小区中每个小区的M个下行参考信号的链路质量,M为正整数。这里,上报的内容不包含N个小区索引。
在一些实施方式中,上述上报具有第六格式,第六格式包括:N个小区索引和K组信息,或者,第六格式包括:N个小区索引、K个测量实例索引和K组信息;K组信息与K个测量实例索引具有对应关系;K组信息中的每组信息包括:X2个链路质量;其中,X2个链路质量包括N个小区中每个小区的M个下行参考信号的链路质量,M为正整数。这里,上报的内容包含N个小区索引和/或K个测量实例索引。
上述X2个链路质量在上报中的格式采用差分上报格式或者非差分上报格式。
作为一种实现方式,在非差分上报格式中,X2个链路质量通过X2个链路质量表示,如下表4所示。
作为另一种实现方式,在差分上报格式中,K×X2个链路质量划分为K×N组链路质量,每组链路质量通过一个参考链路质量和M-1个差分值表示,如下表6和表10所示,示例性地,该参考链路质量可以是M个链路质量中最好的一个链路质量,一个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定一个链路质量,M-1个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定M-1个链路质量。进一步,上述上报格式还可以包括参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引。
作为另一种实现方式,在差分上报格式中,K×X2个链路质量通过一个参考链路质量和K×X2-1个差分值表示,如下表8所示,示例性地,该参考链路质量可以是K×X2个链路质量中最好的一个链路质量,一个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定一个链路质量,K×X2-1个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定K×X2-1个链路质量。进一步,上述上报格式还可以包括参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引。
III)在一些实施方式中,K个测量实例的上报粒度为一个测量实例中的一个小区的测量结果。
在一些实施方式中,上述上报具有第六格式,第六格式包括:测量时刻索引、小区索引以及M个链路质量;其中,M个链路质量包括小区索引对应的小区的M个下行参考信号的链路质量,M为正整数。
上述M个链路质量在上报中的格式采用差分上报格式或者非差分上报格式。
作为一种实现方式,在非差分上报格式,M个链路质量通过M个链路质量表示。
作为另一种实现方式,在差分上报格式中,M个链路质量通过一个参考链路质量和M-1个差分值表示,如下表11所示,示例性地,该参考链路质量可以是M个链路质量中最好的一个链路质量,一个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定一个链路质量,M-1个差分值和一个参考链路质量可以确定M-1个链路质量。进一步,上述上报格式还可以包括参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引。
作为示例,以下给出测量实例采用的上报格式。需要说明的是,下行参考信号资源索引(CRI或SSBR)或者波束(对)索引也可以替换为下行参考信号索引或者空间滤波器索引。
在以下表3中,给出了第k个测量时刻对应的测量实例的上报格式,链路质量采用无差分方式上报。在表3中,上报格式包括测量时刻索引(即k值)以及N×M个链路质量。在第k次的测量实例中,链路质量可以按照对应的下行参考信号资源索引(即SSBRI或CRI或波束(对)索引)从小到大地进行上报,因此可以省略下行参考信号资源索引,进一步,下行参考信号资源索引可以先按照n索引(即小区索引)从小到大进行上报,然后按照k索引(即测量时刻索引)从小到大进行上报。
表3:第k个测量实例的测量结果上报(无L1-RSRP差分)
在以下表4中,给出了K个测量时刻对应的测量实例(即全部K个测量实例)的上报格式,链路质量采用无差分方式上报。在表4中,每个测量实例需要包含N个小区的链路质量,每个小区的链路质量包含M个下行参考信号的链路质量,因此,终端总共需要上报K×N×M个链路质量。在表4中,可以不包含测量时刻索引,这种情况下,每个测量时刻对应的测量实例需要按序排布在上报格式中;或者,也可以包含测量时刻索引,这种情况下,每个测量时刻对应的测量实例可以灵活排布在上报格式中。
表4:全部K个测量实例的测量结果上报(无L1-RSRP差分)
在以下表5中,给出了第k个测量时刻对应的测量实例的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。表5相对于表3的区别在于,链路质量采用差分方式上报,对于每个小区的M个链路质量,将M个链路质量中的最高的链路质量作为参考链路质量,并将该参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引(如SSBRI或CRI)标记出来,其他的链路质量按照下行参考信号资源索引资源固定的顺序(如从小到大的)进行差分上报,这里的差分上报是指仅上报其他的链路质量与参考链路质量的差值。
表5:第k个测量实例的测量结果上报(有L1-RSRP差分)
在以下表6中,给出了K个测量时刻对应的测量实例(即全部K个测量实例)的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。表6相对于表5的区别在于,表6包含了K个测量实例的内容,而每个测量实例的内容与表5是类似的。此外,在表6中,可以不包含测量时刻索引,这种情况下,每个测量时刻对应的测量实例需要按序排布在上报格式中;或者,也可以包含测量时刻索引,这种情况下,每个测量时刻对应的测量实例可以灵活排布在上报格式中。
表6:全部K个测量实例的测量结果上报(有L1-RSRP差分)
在以下表7中,给出了第k个测量时刻对应的测量实例的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。表7相对于表5的区别在于,从全部小区的链路质量中选择最高的链路质量作为参考链路质量, 并将该参考链路质量对应的下行参考信号资源索引(如SSBRI或CRI)标记出来,此外还需要标记出该参考链路质量对应的小区索引,其他的链路质量按照下行参考信号资源索引资源固定的顺序(如从小到大的)进行差分上报,这里的差分上报是指仅上报其他的链路质量与参考链路质量的差值。
表7:第k个测量实例的测量结果上报(有L1-RSRP差分)
在以下表8中,给出了K个测量时刻对应的测量实例(即全部K个测量实例)的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。表8相对于表7的区别在于,表8包含了K个测量实例的内容,而每个测量实例的内容与表7是类似的。此外,在表8中,需要包含参考链路质量对应的测量时刻索引(即k值)。
表8:全部K个测量实例的测量结果上报(有L1-RSRP差分)
在以下表9中,给出了第k个测量时刻对应的测量实例的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。表9相对于表5的区别在于,表9包含了N个小区索引,而质量质量的内容与表5是类似的,表9没有给出测量时刻索引,当然,表9是可以包含测量时刻索引的。通过表9所示的上报格式,终端可以灵活地上报部分或全部测量结果,具体来说,终端可以上报部分小区索引以及该部分小区中每个小区对应的链路质量。
表9:第k个测量实例的测量结果上报(有L1-RSRP差分)

在以下表10中,给出了K个测量时刻对应的测量实例(即全部K个测量实例)的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。表10相对于表9的区别在于,表10包含了K个测量实例,每个测量实例的内容与表9是类似的。此外,表10还包含了测量时刻索引,这种情况下,每个测量时刻对应的测量实例可以灵活排布在上报格式中。当然,表10也可以不包含测量时刻索引,这种情况下,每个测量时刻对应的测量实例按序排布在上报格式中。
表10:全部K个测量实例的测量结果上报(有L1-RSRP差分)
在以下表11中,给出了1个测量时刻对应的测量实例中的一个小区的测量结果的的上报格式,链路质量采用差分方式上报。该上报格式包括小区索引、测量时刻索引以及对应的链路质量,M个链路质量采用差分方式上报。采用表11所示的上报格式,终端在每次上报中可以仅上报一个第一下行参考信号子集的测量结果,网络设备需要收集终端的多次上报来作为第一模型的输入。当然,考虑到网络设备侧模型使用的灵活性,网络设备侧未必需要等到收集到所有第一下行参考信号子集的测量结果再进行预测。
表11:单个下行参考信号子集的测量结果上报

在一些实施方式中,当网络设备获得F个预测实例后,网络设备向终端发送小区切换命令(Cell Switch Command,CSC),终端接收网络设备发送的小区切换命令,小区切换命令用于指示终端切换到目标小区,目标小区基于F个预测实例中的部分或全部预测实例确定。
这里,网络设备获得的F个预测实例可以是上述方案中,由终端发送给网络设备的F个预测实例(参考上述模型位于终端侧的方案),或者,也可以是网络设备基于获得的K个测量实例预测得到的F个预测实例(参考上述模型位于网络设备侧的方案)。
示例性地,网络设备可以使用基于统一TCI状态(unified TCI state)的小区切换命令,该小区切换命令由MAC CE承载。其中统一TCI状态可以是下行/联合TCI状态(DL/joint TCI state),其包括一个小区索引(如PCI、PCI索引、小区配置索引等),通过该小区索引可以指示终端切换到的目标小区。
在一些实施方式中,终端获得K个测量实例并预测出F个预测实例后,终端向网络设备发送小区切换请求(Cell Switch reQuest,CSQ),小区切换请求携带目标预测实例,目标预测实例基于F个预测实例确定。
这里,终端获得K个测量实例并预测出F个预测实例后,可以不上报F个预测实例,而是根据F个预测实例发送一个小区切换请求给网络设备,该小区切换请求由MAC CE承载。示例性地,该小区切换请求可以包含以下至少一种信息:预测时刻索引(即f值);目标小区的小区索引,如PCI,PCI索引,候选小区配置索引,或p索引;目标小区对应的下行参考信号资源索引,如CRI/SSBRI或波束(对)索引;下行参考信号资源索引对应的链路质量,如L1-RSRP。网络设备在收到小区切换请求后,只需要向终端发送一个确认命令,终端便可以完成后续的切换操作。
需要说明的是,对于波束移动性(beam-level mobility),模型预测的最优波束的结果是按照该波束对应的链路质量来评估,即highest L1-RSRP。对于小区移动性即(cell-level mobility),举例来说,一个小区单个波束最优(其他波束质量都较差),并不能保证该小区对UE来说是个最优小区,一种普遍的选择最优小区的方法是,对于该小区内的多个波束的链路质量进行加权平均,从而得到最优小区(以均值L1-RSRP从高到低排名)。在本申请实施例的技术方案中,用来预测最优小区的模型也参考了最优小区的选择机制,即cell-level mobility。
本申请实施例的技术方案,提出了一种基于模型的移动性预测技术,将多个历史测量时刻对多个小区的测量结果作为模型的输入,通过模型预测(输出)未来多个预测时刻的最优小区,和/或该小区下的最优波束(对),和/或该波束(对)对应的链路质量,从而实现从被动到主动的移动性管理,减少下行移动性测量的开销和时延。
以下结合具体应用实例对本申请实施例的技术进行举例说明,以下应用实例中,将终端称为UE,将网络设备称为NW。
需要提前说明的是,对于模型的输入集,可以是测量集Set B,也可以是从测量集Set C中产生。换句话说,Set B本身可以是一个测量集,或者Set B也可以从测量集Set C中产生,即Set B是Set C中测量得到的最优多个波束(对)以及其链路质量。以下应用实例中,以Set B可以是一个测量集或者是从测量集Set C中产生。
应用实例一
本应用实例中,模型部署在UE侧,便于UE将下行参考信号的测量结果作为模型的输入,进行推断。
图16给出了一种时域移动性预测方法的流程示意图,如图16所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1601:UE向NW上报该UE的能力信息。
这里,UE的能力信息可以参照前述相关方案。
步骤1602:NW为UE配置Set A和Set B。
这里,NW为UE配置Set A和Set B可以参照前述相关方案。
步骤1603:UE根据NW的配置进行测量,得到K个测量实例。
这里,K个测量实例的内容可以参照前述相关方案。在图16中,K个测量实例中的第k(1≤k≤K)个测量实例称为测量实例#k。其中,测量实例#k包含了Set B_1,k,Set B_2,k,...,Set B_N,k分别对应的测量结果。这里的Set B_n,k(1≤n≤N,1≤k≤K)与上述方案中的Set Bn,k代表一样的含义。
步骤1604:UE侧模型根据测量实例,预测:最优的L(L≥1)个小区索引、每个最优区中最优的J(J≥1)个波束(对)索引、以及每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
这里,UE侧模型根据进行了F个预测时刻对应的预测。具体地,UE侧模型需要K次历史测量实例作为输入,从而预测出后续F个预测时刻的测量实例。
步骤1605:UE向NW上报预测实例或者小区切换请求。
这里,预测实例内容或者小区切换请求可以参照前述相关方案。在图16中,F个预测实例中的第f(1≤f≤F)个预测实例称为预测实例#f。其中,预测实例#f包含了Set A_1,f,Set A_2,f,...,Set A_P,f分别对应的预测结果。这里的Set A_p,f(1≤p≤P,1≤f≤F)与上述方案中的Set Ap,f代表一样的含义。
步骤1606:NW向UE发送小区切换命令或者确认命令。
这里,小区切换命令或者确认命令可以参照前述相关方案。
需要说明的是,在图16中,步骤1606使用虚线表示是因为模型预测的最优小区可能是当前服务小区,因此不需要进行小区切换,所以步骤1606为可选步骤。
需要说明的是,在图16中,椭圆形代表测量集Set Bn,k,其中n(1≤n≤N)表示第一下行参考信号子集(即测量子集)的索引,k(1≤k≤K)表示测量时刻索引。虚线椭圆表示UE未进行测量,但包含在预测集Set Ap,f中的下行参考信号,其中p(1≤p≤P)表示第二下行参考信号子集(即预测子集)的索引,f(1≤f≤F)表示预测时刻索引。
需要说明的是,预测子集的数量P,未必与测量子集的数量N相等,比如P=16,N=8的情况,UE只测量8个测量子集,但可以从16个预测子集中(如1个服务小区和15个候选小区的预测子集)推断最优小区,和/或该最优小区对应的最优波束(对)索引,和/或该最优最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。当然,一种典型的部署方式是P等于N,即预测子集的数量和测量子集的数量相同,且每个预测子集/测量子集都对应着一个小区。
需要说明的是,对于一个小区来说,Set B和Set A可以相同(即仅有时域预测),也可以Set B和Set A不同(即空域和时域的预测)。
需要说明的是,对于波束移动性(beam-level mobility),模型预测的最优波束的结果是按照该波束对应的链路质量来评估,即highest L1-RSRP。对于小区移动性即(cell-level mobility),举例来说,一个小区单个波束最优(其他波束质量都较差),并不能保证该小区对UE来说是个最优小区,一种普遍的选择最优小区的方法是,对于该小区内的多个波束的链路质量进行加权平均,从而得到最优小区(以均值L1-RSRP从高到低排名)。在本申请实施例的技术方案中,用来预测最优小区的模型也参考了最优小区的选择机制,即cell-level mobility。
应用实例二
本应用实例中,模型部署在NW侧,UE进行时域移动性的测量,即测量Set B,并将测量结果上报给NW。NW侧部署的模型便可以进行时域移动性的预测。
图17给出了一种时域移动性预测方法的流程示意图,如图17所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1701:UE向NW上报该UE的能力信息。
这里,UE的能力信息可以参照前述相关方案。
步骤1702:NW为UE配置Set A和Set B。
这里,NW为UE配置Set A和Set B可以参照前述相关方案。
步骤1703:UE根据NW的配置进行测量,得到K个测量实例。
这里,K个测量实例的内容可以参照前述相关方案。在图17中,K个测量实例中的第k(1≤k≤K)个测量实例称为测量实例#k。其中,测量实例#k包含了Set B_1,k,Set B_2,k,...,Set B_N,k分别对应的测量结果。这里的Set B_n,k(1≤n≤N,1≤k≤K)与上述方案中的Set Bn,k代表一样的含义。
步骤1704:UE可以每得到一个测量实例就向NW上报一个测量实例,或者UE也可以测量得到K个测量实例后向NW上报K个测量实例。
步骤1705:NW侧模型根据测量实例,预测:最优的L(L≥1)个小区索引、每个最优区中最优的J(J≥1)个波束(对)索引、以及每个最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。
这里,预测实例内容可以参照前述相关方案。在图17中,F个预测实例中的第f(1≤f≤F)个预测实例称为预测实例#f。其中,预测实例#f包含了Set A_1,f,Set A_2,f,...,Set A_P,f分别对应的预测结果。这里的Set A_p,f(1≤p≤P,1≤f≤F)与上述方案中的Set Ap,f代表一样的含义。
步骤1706:NW向UE发送小区切换命令。
这里,小区切换命令或者确认命令可以参照前述相关方案。
需要说明的是,在图17中,步骤1706使用虚线表示是因为模型预测的最优小区可能是当前服务小区,因此不需要进行小区切换,所以步骤1706为可选步骤。
需要说明的是,在图17中,椭圆形代表测量集Set Bn,k,其中n(1≤n≤N)表示第一下行参考信号子集(即测量子集)的索引,k(1≤k≤K)表示测量时刻索引。虚线椭圆表示UE未进行测量,但包含在预测集Set Ap,f中的下行参考信号,其中p(1≤p≤P)表示第二下行参考信号子集(即预测子集)的索引,f(1≤f≤F)表示预测时刻索引。
需要说明的是,预测子集的数量P,未必与测量子集的数量N相等,比如P=16,N=8的情况,UE只测量8个测量子集,但NW可以从16个预测子集中(如1个服务小区和15个候选小区的预测子集)推断最优小区,和/或该最优小区对应的最优波束(对)索引,和/或该最优最优波束(对)索引对应的链路质量。当然,一种典型的部署方式是P等于N,即预测子集的数量和测量子集的数量相同,且每个预测子集/测量子集都对应着一个小区。
需要说明的是,对于一个小区来说,Set B和Set A可以相同(即仅有时域预测),也可以Set B和Set A不同(即空域和时域的预测)。
需要说明的是,对于波束移动性(beam-level mobility),模型预测的最优波束的结果是按照该波束对应的链路质量来评估,即highest L1-RSRP。对于小区移动性即(cell-level mobility),举例来说,一个小区单个波束最优(其他波束质量都较差),并不能保证该小区对UE来说是个最优小区,一种普遍的选择最优小区的方法是,对于该小区内的多个波束的链路质量进行加权平均,从而得到最优小区(以均值L1-RSRP从高到低排名)。在本申请实施例的技术方案中,用来预测最优小区的模型也参考了最优小区的选择机制,即cell-level mobility。
