RAN1#120 vs RAN1#119 Feb 17, 2025
NR_AIML_air
New positions this meeting
  • 9.1.1 — Proposes functionality-based LCM without model ID, bitmap-based beam reporting, L1 signaling for NW data collection, and optional associated ID configuration for NW-side conditions.
  • 9.1.2 — Proposes reusing existing legacy signaling structures for timestamps and quality indicators. Supports inclusion of phase information (CIR) as model input, presenting technical evidence of superior accuracy. Opposes reporting transmit offset from gNB to LMF in Case 3b.
  • 9.1.3 — Argues against treating tilt/TXRU as NW-side conditions, proposes reusing Rel-18 MIMO CSI prediction codebook, and supports Type 2/3 monitoring.
RAN1#119 vs RAN1#118bis Nov 18, 2024
NR_AIML_air
  • 9.1.2 strengthened
    ZTE strengthened their position by providing specific quantitative evidence (1.2-2.2x performance improvement) to support their advocacy for CIR with phase information.
  • 9.1.3 strengthened
    ZTE evolved from a systematic approach with conditional support to a stronger opposition stance, now emphasizing model generalization capabilities as sufficient without additional consistency mechanisms.
  • 9.1.4.2 strengthened
    ZTE provided more specific technical justification for opposing MI-Option 2 with concrete resource overhead figures (1-10GB transfers) and added explicit support for Case z4.
