[0130] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0131] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0132] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0133] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flow chart of the information transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0134] Step 101: Send first information to a network device, where the first information includes: a first indication, used to indicate whether the terminal has AI capability.

[0135] Specifically, the terminal may send the first information to the network device via a NAS message and / or an RRC message.

[0136] Different information may be used to indicate whether the terminal has AI capability. For example, for a certain flag bit, if the flag bit is set to a first value or indicates validity (such as 1), it indicates that the terminal has AI capability; if the flag bit is set to a second value (such as 0) or indicates invalidity (such as 0), it indicates that the terminal does not have AI capability.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present application, the first indication may be specifically used to indicate whether the terminal has the AI ​​capability of the NAS layer, that is, whether the NAS layer supports the AI ​​capability.

[0138] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first information further includes one or more of the following information:

[0139] A second indication, used to indicate information about the AI ​​computing power of the terminal;

[0140] The third indication is used to indicate information about the storage capacity of the terminal.

[0141] Among them, for a terminal without AI capabilities, the second indication can be ignored or set to a second value (such as 0) or set to invalid (such as 0).

[0142] For a terminal with AI capabilities, the second indication can be expressed in TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), GOPS (Giga Operations Per Second), MOPS (Million Operation Per Second), or TOPS / W as a performance metric for evaluating the computing power of the processor. In the embodiments of the present application, the computing power can also be quantified. For example, the AI computing power can be divided into: the first computing power level, the second computing power level, the third computing power level, the fourth computing power level, etc. Among them, the first computing power level is before the computing power values A1 and A2, the second computing power level is between the computing power values A2 and A3, the third computing power level is between the computing power values A3 and A4, and the fourth computing power level is between the computing power values A4 and A5. Where A1 to A5 represent the threshold values corresponding to different computing power levels, and A1 < A2 < A3 < A4 < A5.

[0143] Among them, for a terminal without AI capabilities, the third indication can be ignored or set to a second value (such as 0) or set to invalid (such as 0).

[0144] For a terminal with AI capabilities, the third indication can be represented by the size of the terminal's AI storage capacity. In the embodiments of the present application, the storage capacity can also be quantified. For example, the storage capacity can be divided into the first storage level, the second storage level, the third storage level, the fourth storage level, etc. Among them, the first storage level is before the storage values B1 and B2, the second storage level is between the storage values B2 and B3, the third storage level is between the storage values B3 and B4, and the fourth storage level is between the storage values B4 and B5. Where B1 to B5 represent the threshold values corresponding to different storage levels, and B1 < B2 < B3 < B4 < B5. Then, the third indication can be represented by a specific storage level.

[0145] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal's AI capabilities are actively reported by the terminal and can be carried in the NAS message during the terminal's attachment process, such as in the terminal's initial context establishment request message. Among them, the first information is carried in the 5G mobility management capability information element or the first information is carried in a separate message.

[0146] Such as Figure 2 shown, a field can be added to the 5G mobility management capability information element to represent the terminal's AI capabilities. Or as Figure 3 shown, the terminal's AI capabilities are reported through an independent message.

[0147] In Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the AI-NAS, AI-NAS is used to indicate whether the NAS layer of the terminal has AI capabilities, AI-computing-power is used to indicate the AI ​​computing power of the terminal, and AI-storage is used to indicate the AI ​​storage capacity of the terminal. During the initial UE (User Equipment) context establishment process, the terminal sets AI-NAS, AI-computing-power, AI-storage and other information according to its own capabilities and the above methods.

[0148] The method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can report its terminal AI capability to the network device, so that the network device can assign AI tasks to the terminal according to the information reported by the terminal. Therefore, by using the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the AI ​​capability of the terminal can be fully utilized, thereby providing better network services for end-to-end intelligence.

[0150] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a flow chart of the information transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0151] Step 401: Receive first information sent by a terminal, where the first information includes: a first indication, used to indicate whether the terminal has AI capability.

[0152] The content included in the first information may refer to the description of the aforementioned method embodiment.

[0153] Step 402: Allocate an AI task to the terminal according to the first information.

[0154] After receiving the first information, the network device determines whether the terminal has AI capability, and if so, allocates an AI task to the terminal.

[0155] Furthermore, network equipment can also assign AI-related tasks to terminals based on the computing power and storage capacity of the terminals, so as to make better use of the AI ​​capabilities of the terminals and provide better network services.

[0156] The method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to network equipment.

[0157] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can report its terminal AI capability to the network device, so that the network device can assign AI tasks to the terminal according to the information reported by the terminal. Therefore, by using the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the AI ​​capability of the terminal can be fully utilized, thereby providing better network services for end-to-end intelligence.

[0158] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a flow chart of the information transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0159] Step 501: Send second information to a network device, wherein the second information includes:

[0160] The first indication is used to indicate whether the terminal has wireless AI capability.

[0161] In order to allow the access network to fully utilize the computing power of the terminal for data collection, preprocessing, AI model training and reasoning, the network equipment of the access network needs to obtain the wireless AI capabilities of the terminal. Therefore, in this step, the terminal can send the second information to the network equipment.

[0162] Different information may be used to indicate whether the terminal has wireless AI capability. For example, for a certain flag bit, if the flag bit is set to a first value or indicates validity (such as 1), it indicates that the terminal has wireless AI capability; if the flag bit is set to a second value (such as 0) or indicates invalidity (such as 0), it indicates that the terminal does not have wireless AI capability.

[0163] In an embodiment of the present application, the first indication may be specifically used to indicate whether the terminal has the wireless AI capability of the AS (AccessStratum) layer, that is, whether the AS layer supports the wireless AI capability.

[0164] In actual applications, the terminal may send the terminal wireless AI capabilities to the network device (such as the network device of the core network) in the initial context request, or may report the terminal wireless AI capabilities at the request of the network device of the access network.

[0165] Specifically, the terminal may receive a terminal capability query request sent by a network device of the access network, and send the second information to the network device of the access network through an RRC message according to the terminal capability query request.

[0166] Furthermore, the second information also includes one or more of the following information:

[0167] A second indication, used to indicate information about the AI ​​computing power of the terminal;

[0168] A third indication, used to indicate information about the storage capacity of the terminal;

[0169] The fourth indication is used to indicate the AI ​​algorithm supported by the terminal.

[0170] Among them, for a terminal without AI capabilities, the second indication can be ignored, set to a second value (such as 0), or set to invalid (such as 0).

[0171] For a terminal with AI capabilities, the second indication can be expressed in TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), GOPS (Giga Operations Per Second), MOPS (Million Operation Per Second), or TOPS / W as a performance metric for evaluating the computing power of the processor. In the embodiments of the present application, the computing power can also be quantified. For example, the AI computing power can be divided into: the first computing power level, the second computing power level, the third computing power level, the fourth computing power level, etc. Among them, the first computing power level is before the computing power values of A1 and A2, the second computing power level is between the computing power values of A2 and A3, the third computing power level is between the computing power values of A3 and A4, and the fourth computing power level is between the computing power values of A4 and A5. Where A1 to A5 represent the threshold values corresponding to different computing power levels, and A1 < A2 < A3 < A4 < A5.

[0172] Among them, for a terminal without AI capabilities, the third indication can be ignored, set to a second value (such as 0), or set to invalid (such as 0).

[0173] For a terminal with AI capabilities, the third indication can be expressed by the size of the terminal's AI storage capacity. In the embodiments of the present application, the storage capacity can also be quantified. For example, the storage capacity can be divided into the first storage level, the second storage level, the third storage level, the fourth storage level, etc. Among them, the first storage level is before the storage values of B1 and B2, the second storage level is between the storage values of B2 and B3, the third storage level is between the storage values of B3 and B4, and the fourth storage level is between the storage values of B4 and B5. Where B1 to B5 represent the threshold values corresponding to different storage levels, and B1 < B2 < B3 < B4 < B5. Then, the third indication can be expressed by a specific storage level.

[0174] AI algorithms in the network are divided into two categories. One is the AI algorithms predefined by the network and the terminal, and the other is the extended algorithms. The terminal can directly report the support for the AI algorithms predefined by the network through the fourth indication, or the terminal can also report the support for the extended algorithms through the fourth indication.

[0175] Furthermore, the fourth indication is specifically used to indicate the algorithm supported by the terminal for the target protocol layer. The target protocol layer includes one or more of the following: such as SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol), PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol), RLC (Radio Link Control), MAC (Media Access Control) and PHY (Physical Layer). For example, the terminal can report the supported algorithms according to the protocol layer based on the protocol function.

[0176] The format of the terminal wireless AI capability carried in the RRC signaling reported by the terminal to the RAN (Radio Access Network) is as follows: Figure 6 As shown. The information includes UE-AI-Capability, which is used to indicate the wireless AI capability of the terminal. SupportAICapability is used to indicate whether the terminal supports wireless AI capability, ComputingPower is used to indicate the AI ​​computing power of the terminal, and storage is used to indicate the storage capacity of the terminal; AI algorithm is used to indicate the AI ​​algorithm supported by the terminal; SDAP algorithm is used to indicate the support of the terminal for the algorithm of the SDAP layer; PDCPalgorithm is used to indicate the support of the terminal for the algorithm of the PDCP layer; RLC algorithm is used to indicate the support of the terminal for the algorithm of the RLC layer; MAC algorithm is used to indicate the support of the terminal for the algorithm of the MAC layer; PHYalgorithm is used to indicate the support of the terminal for the algorithm of the PHY layer.

[0177] The embodiments of the present application can be applied to a terminal.

[0178] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can report its terminal wireless AI capability to the network device, so that the network device can assign AI tasks to the terminal according to the information reported by the terminal. Therefore, by using the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the AI ​​capability of the terminal can be fully utilized, thereby providing better network services for end-to-end intelligence.

Therefore, by using the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the AI ​​capability of the terminal can be fully utilized, thereby providing better network services for end-to-end intelligence.

[0187] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a flow chart of the information transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0188] Step 801: The terminal carries first information (or terminal AI capability information) in the registration request NAS signaling sent to the core network (CN), including the AI ​​capability of the terminal NAS layer, the computing power and storage capacity of the terminal.

[0189] Step 802: After receiving the registration request initiated by the terminal, the core network sends an initial context establishment request message to the RAN.

[0190] If the core network stores the second information (or terminal wireless AI capability information), the core network sends the second information to the RAN via an initial context establishment request message. If the core network has not received the second information from the terminal, the core network does not need to carry the information during the initial context establishment process.

[0191] Step 803: After receiving the initial context establishment request, the RAN determines whether the second information is carried. If the second information is not carried, the RAN triggers a terminal capability query to the terminal through RRC signaling. If the second information is carried, subsequent steps 804 and 805 may not be performed.

[0192] Step 804: The terminal reports terminal capability information to the RAN, wherein the terminal capability carries the second information.

[0193] Step 805: After receiving the terminal capability, the RAN sends the second information to the core network through the terminal capability information indication.

[0194] After receiving the terminal's wireless AI capability information, RAN can assign AI tasks to the terminal according to the terminal's AI capabilities, such as AI training based on federated learning, AI data preprocessing, etc.

[0195] The contents of the first information and the second information may refer to the description of the aforementioned embodiment.

[0196] In the embodiments of the present application, through the reporting mechanism of terminal AI capabilities, network equipment can select appropriate end-to-end intelligent orchestration and function deployment according to different terminal AI capabilities, and can give full play to the AI ​​capabilities of the terminal through AI architectures such as federated learning to provide better network services for end-to-end intelligence.
