vs RAN1#119
Lenovo is a new contributor in the current meeting. They proposed extending sample-based measurement definitions to UE-based Cases 1 and 2b, requiring the definition of reference time and parameters {Nt, Nt’, k}. They added support for including DL and UL Channel Impulse Response (CIR) measurements and legacy measurements like RSTD and RSRP as model inputs. Additionally, they proposed introducing a new UE-based positioning method for Direct AI/ML Case 1 and supporting Alternative 2 for signaling TRP geographical coordinates.

Specification impacts for AI/ML positioning
Position extracted by AI
Lenovo proposes extending sample-based measurement definitions to UE-based Cases 1 and 2b, requiring the definition of reference time and parameters {Nt, Nt’, k}. They support the inclusion of DL and UL Channel Impulse Response (CIR) measurements, as well as legacy measurements like RSTD and RSRP, as model inputs for fingerprinting. Lenovo requires the reuse of legacy LOS/NLOS indicator frameworks for AI/ML model outputs and supports Multi-RTT timing measurements for LMF-side models. They propose introducing a new UE-based positioning method for Direct AI/ML Case 1 and support Alternative 2 for signaling TRP geographical coordinates (Info #7). For training data, Lenovo supports indications for labelled versus unlabelled data samples and confirms working assumptions that labels can be generated by PRUs, Non-PRU UEs, or the LMF. Finally, they propose reporting model monitoring outcomes based on positioning accuracy and introducing mechanisms for UEs to retrieve ground truth labels from the LMF.
Summary
Lenovo submits 28 proposals and 1 observation to advance the specification of AI/ML-based positioning in NR, focusing on sample-based measurement definitions, model input/output types, training data construction, and model management. The document aims to resolve open issues regarding timing granularity, channel impulse response (CIR) reporting, and the reuse of legacy signaling frameworks for AI/ML model training and monitoring.

Specification impacts for AI/ML positioning
Position extracted by AI
Lenovo advocates FOR a hybrid measurement approach supporting both sample-based and path-based timing representations depending on the use case, with strong emphasis on reusing legacy frameworks where possible (LOS/NLOS indicators, assistance data signaling). They push FOR comprehensive training data collection frameworks with flexible entity assignments and AGAINST mixed measurement approaches within single use cases (e.g., using sample-based in training but path-based in inference).
Summary
Lenovo's comprehensive technical document on AI/ML positioning for 3GPP RAN1, presenting 30 proposals and 4 observations covering specification impacts for enhanced positioning accuracy. The document addresses measurement definitions, model inputs/outputs, training data collection, and implementation consistency across different AI/ML positioning use cases.
