Method and apparatus for monitoring model in beam management by using artificial intelligence and machine learning

A method for a base station to perform model monitoring in beam management using artificial intelligence and machine learning, the method comprising:

• transmitting second reference signal resource set configuration information about a reference signal (RS) for monitoring an AI/ML model in relation to the reference signal (RS) configured for a UE;
• transmitting the reference signal based on the second reference signal resource configuration information;
• and
• receiving a performance result of the AI/ML model obtained by comparing a measurement value of the reference signal with a prediction value of the reference signal inferred by the AI/ML model.

A user equipment (UE) performing model monitoring in beam management using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), comprising:

• a transmitter;
• a receiver;
• and
• a controller configured to control an operation of the transmitter and the receiver, wherein the controller;
• receives second reference signal resource set configuration information about a reference signal (RS) for monitoring an AI/ML model in relation to the reference signal (RS) configured for the UE;
• measures a signal strength or signal quality for the reference signal based on the second reference signal resource configuration information;
• and
• compares a measurement value of the reference signal with a prediction value of the reference signal inferred by the AI/ML model to report a performance result of the AI/ML model.
