LG Electronics · 9.1.1

LG Electronics proposes extending the Rel-18 NES sub-configuration mechanism for flexible Set B beam reporting and supports configuring only Set B resources for UE-sided inference to minimize overhead. They require the definition of 'similar properties' for beam consistency to be based on maintaining the same downlink spatial domain transmission filters. LG opposes supporting Aperiodic CSI-RS for Set B in BM-Case 2 due to excessive DL resource overhead and instead supports only Periodic CSI-RS for Set A. They propose introducing AI/ML Processing Units (APUs) distinct from CPU for managing inference complexity and suggest using differential RSRP reporting with confidence/probability metrics for temporal beam prediction. Furthermore, they argue for event-triggered performance monitoring to reduce signaling overhead compared to periodic reporting.

LG Electronics advocates for practical, overhead-conscious AI/ML beam management solutions, strongly pushing for Alt 4 configuration approach and Set B-only configurations to reduce signaling overhead, while opposing AP CSI-RS support for temporal prediction due to resource concerns. They champion separate AI/ML processing units (APU) distinct from legacy CPU mechanisms and emphasize event-triggered rather than periodic reporting to minimize resource consumption. LG takes a pragmatic stance on beam indication, insisting it should be based on measurable Set B beams rather than potentially unmeasurable Set A beams.
