Google proposes extending enhanced path-based measurement to the UE side to reduce reporting overhead, arguing that UE-side path selection is simpler than gNB-side selection. They support reporting L1-SINR alongside path-based measurements to enable the network to filter results or improve accuracy based on potential measurement errors. For model performance monitoring in Case 1, Google supports Option A with a simple 1-bit failure indication based on UE-calculated metrics and NW-configured thresholds, while explicitly opposing Option B due to functional redundancy and privacy concerns regarding UE location disclosure. Regarding assistance information, Google supports Alternative 4, requiring Info #7 (TRP geographical coordinates) to be provided explicitly from the LMF to the UE to enable absolute location identification, arguing that implicit provision via associated ID would unnecessarily increase dimensionality.

Google advocates FOR transparent model performance monitoring that does not require UEs to disclose location information to the network, supporting UE-side monitoring (Option A) over network-side monitoring (Option B). They push FOR flexible channel measurement options including phase information and configurable sample-based vs path-based reporting, while supporting reuse of existing measurement frameworks rather than creating new mechanisms.
