Claude's delta refined vs RAN1#119
CMCC refined their NW-side training proposal to specifically support Type 1 and Type 3 data collection contents for flexibility in classification and regression models. They added a new requirement that RS associated with TCI state indication must be measured at least once before application to ensure QCL parameter validity. Their preference for Option 1 for BM-Case 2 reference time is preserved, but they now support both predicted and measured RSRP reporting options for BM-Case 1. They added a proposal for statistical beam prediction accuracy over N instances for monitoring, refining their earlier stance on dedicated monitoring configurations.

Discussion on specification support for beam management
Position extracted by Claude
CMCC proposes supporting Type 1 and Type 3 data collection contents for NW-side training, emphasizing flexibility for classification and regression models. They require that RS associated with TCI state indication must be measured at least once before application, ensuring QCL parameter validity. For UE-side inference, they prefer Option 1 for reference time determination in BM-Case 2 and support both predicted and measured RSRP reporting options for BM-Case 1. CMCC argues that applicable functionality determination should be up to UE implementation rather than strictly dependent on associated ID matching, allowing for model generalization. They propose separate CPU counting for legacy vs. AI/ML CSI reporting to prevent performance degradation of legacy features. For monitoring, they prefer statistical beam prediction accuracy over N instances and support monitoring sets as down-sampled subsets of Set A to reduce overhead.
Summary
CMCC presents 55 proposals and 4 observations regarding the specification impact of AI/ML-based beam management in NR, covering data collection, inference, and monitoring for both NW-side and UE-side models. The document addresses critical aspects such as Set A/B configuration, Top-K beam sweeping necessity, reporting content for inference results, and performance monitoring mechanisms.

Discussion on specification support for beam management
Position extracted by Claude
CMCC proposes that L1 signaling be supported for NW-sided training data collection and that Top-K beam sweeping be supported for NW-side inference to enhance prediction accuracy. They require that for UE-side models, the overall CPU be separately counted between legacy CSI reporting and AI/ML-based CSI reporting, while being shared among AI/ML features. CMCC prefers Option 1 for BM-Case 2 differential RSRP reporting, which includes CRI of top-K predicted beams per instance. They support dedicated resource sets and report configurations for UE-side model monitoring (Type 1 Option 2), linking the monitoring configuration to an inference report configuration via CSI-ReportConfig ID. Additionally, they propose that the granularity of UE capability reporting for AI/ML be at the sub-use case level, including details on Set A/B size, RS type, and model outputs.
Summary
CMCC presents 49 proposals and 2 observations regarding the specification impacts of AI/ML-based beam management for NR, covering data collection, inference, and monitoring for both NW-side and UE-side models. The document addresses configuration of Set A and Set B, reporting content for training and inference, Top-K beam sweeping procedures, and performance monitoring mechanisms including KPI definitions and resource set configurations.
How this was derived
Claude extracted the "position extracted" field above directly from each Tdoc during summarization. For the delta summary at the top, Claude compared CMCC's consolidated stance at RAN1#120 against their stance at RAN1#119 and classified the change as refined.
