Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 6th generation (6G) communication system for optimizing a network while being applied in various industrial fields through connection between 5th generation (5G) or beyond 5G things and networks for supporting a higher data rate. A method performed by user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided, including receiving configuration information related to an artificial intelligence (AI) model from a base station; performing monitoring of a first AI model of the UE for encoding and decoding channel state information (CSI); and reporting a monitoring result to the base station. The first AI model includes a first encoder and a first decoder of the UE, and the first decoder may be related to a second AI model of the base station including a second decoder.

receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to a first artificial intelligence (AI) model of the UE and a second AI model of the base station, wherein the first AI model includes a first encoder of the UE and a first decoder of the UE;

generating a plurality of channel state information (CSI) for monitoring the first AI model:

compressing the plurality of CSI based on the first encoder:

identifying whether at least one compressed CSI among the plurality of compressed CSI is a monitoring target, based on the configuration information:

if the at least one compressed CSI is identified as the monitoring target, restoring the at least one compressed CSI based on the first decoder; and

identifying whether a difference between the measured at least one CSI and the restored at least one CSI is less than a first threshold value in the configuration information.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a message requesting a change into a non-AI-based CSI feedback mode, in response to transmitting, during a third time period,

wherein the monitoring result is transmitted when accuracy of the first AI model of the monitoring result is less than the first threshold value.
