Description

[0002] In traditional 5G network protocol processing, radio access network (RAN) equipment (e.g., base stations) connects UEs to the core network via closed channels. The user data carried by these devices is not accessible within the RAN. Due to the strict data delivery relationships between protocol layers within the RAN, and the integrity protection of data packets using sequence numbers (SNs), flexible data forwarding and traffic diversion within the RAN is impossible.

[0003] At present, for the above architecture, the core network is equipped with a user data unique offloading point user plane function UPF to realize the distribution of user data (see Figure 1 However, with the development of wireless endogenous artificial intelligence (AI) and wireless edge cloud services, more and more endogenous AI and industry applications are being deployed in wireless edge clouds based on RAN devices. This has led to explosive growth in the demand for data transmission within RAN devices. The architecture with UPF as the sole data offload point can no longer meet the demand in terms of data transmission efficiency.

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, the following will describe in detail exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0027] Figure 1 1 is a method diagram illustrating a communication control method in the prior art. Figure 1 As shown, in the prior art, UPF is used as the only data unloading point. As mentioned above, with the development of endogenous AI and wireless edge cloud services, the functional entities deployed inside RAN equipment are becoming more and more diversified, from traditional protocol layers (for example: physical PHY layer, medium access control MAC layer, radio link control RLC layer, packet data convergence protocol PDCP layer, service data adaptation protocol SDAP layer), to AI model training, virtual reality VR service rendering and other applications. These diverse functions will bring diverse data transmission requirements, for example: the AI ​​model of synaesthesia service needs to extract antenna data from the PHY protocol layer for training; the MAC scheduler exchanges with the AI ​​prediction software to implement a scheduling strategy based on channel prediction; the local VR module extracts the IP message of the VR service from PDCP, performs local rendering services and pushes the stream to the terminal.

[0028] This massive amount of data is generated, processed, and applied locally on RAN devices. However, existing technologies use closed pipes to connect UEs to the core network. The user data carried by these devices is not open within the RAN devices and must first be sent to an external UPF before being transferred back to the RAN devices. This inevitably increases data transmission costs. Furthermore, edge cloud services have high latency and reliability requirements. This "external" data transfer to RAN devices, using the UPF as the sole data offload point, undermines the real-time advantages of local processing on RAN devices.

[0029] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present disclosure proposes a communication control method for dynamic opening of data in each protocol layer within a RAN device with high real-time performance. Figure 2-Figure 4 A further detailed description is given.

[0030] Figure 2 1 is a method diagram illustrating a communication control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2As shown, the present disclosure, based on the architecture compatible with the prior art in which SMF control and UPF are used as the only data offloading point, innovatively proposes that each protocol layer in the RAN device can be used as a data opening point for data transmission.

[0031] To achieve the above effects, the present disclosure proposes a new network function intelligent controller (RAN Intelligent Controller, RIC) to control the data of each protocol layer in the RAN device to achieve high real-time dynamic opening and transmission. It should be noted that the RIC can be deployed inside the RAN device or on an external server, and this disclosure does not make specific restrictions. It has an open interface for RAN internal data and functions, and can provide support for computing resources and data. Specifically, the communication control method based on RIC will be referred to. Figure 3 Further description is given.

[0032] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a communication control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the communication control method may include at least the following steps.

[0033] In step S301, resource information sent by one or more of the radio access network (RAN) equipment, the RAN cloud resource management function, and the core network is obtained. As described above, the RIC controls the dynamic opening and transmission of data at each protocol layer within the RAN equipment, ensuring high real-time performance. When a service task is generated, the RIC obtains the corresponding resource information through interfaces with the RAN cloud resource management function, base stations, and downlink UPFs. This resource information may include, but is not limited to, communication resource information and computing resource information.

[0034] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the radio access network cloud resource management function can send the deployment and operation status of all wireless edge cloud computing tasks currently in the RAN to the RIC. This may include: application type, data exposure type, data exposure transmission routing information (for example, data collection source address, data application destination address), and data filtering configurations deployed to improve data extraction and transmission efficiency (for example, data filtering mode, data filtering rules, data filtering statistical thresholds).

[0035] Furthermore, application types may include: intelligent network operation and maintenance, intelligent network operation, industrial Internet, Internet of Things, image rendering, etc.

[0036] Data exposure types may include: data transmission from one or more protocol layers in the RAN device to one or more data domains in the RAN device (referred to as offloading) or via the UPF and / or SMF, and data transmission from one or more protocol layers in the RAN device to one or more data domains in the RAN device (referred to as mirroring). The data domain can be understood as a pod.

[0037] Data collection source addresses can be classified by the type of collection object, including:

[0038] 1) Radio protocol layer data: including cell, user, and bearer descriptions, as well as protocol layer indexes (indexes for the SDAP, PDCP, RLC, MAC, and PHY protocol layers), and indexes of data types within the protocol layer (internally allocated within each protocol layer, such as PHY antenna data, channel estimation data, Routing Information Protocol (RIP) evaluation data, MAC scheduling priority, Quality of Service (QoS) evaluation data, and other data);

[0039] 2) Wireless edge cloud service data: RAN intranet application address allocated by the wireless access network cloud resource management function, including protocol type, IP / port data, etc.

[0040] The data application destination address may include: an intra-RAN intelligent network application or extended application address allocated by the radio access network cloud resource management function, including protocol type, IP / port data, etc.

[0041] Data filtering modes can include pre-defined patterns or samples to identify and filter data that needs to be disclosed, avoiding transmission pressure caused by the disclosure of useless data. For example, regular expressions can be used to filter industrial device registration messages that meet specific characteristics in user bearers and send them to the local service management platform.

[0042] Data filtering rules can include pre-defined rules or conditions to filter data. Rules can be set to filter out data before a specified wireless frame, or to only retain messages within a specific length range for data release.

[0043] Data filtering and statistical thresholds can include analyzing data using statistical methods and filtering data based on statistical indicators. For example, for bearers with bit error rates above a certain threshold, their radio channel interference and scheduling data can be released to external applications.

[0044] The core network (e.g., SMF and / or UPF) can send the RIC the address allocation information during the current service session, which may include: the 5G terminal intranet IP address, packet flow rule information (PFD management information), the 5G terminal's external network exposed IP address and port number, etc.

[0045] RAN equipment can send the current base station wireless resource usage and wireless data open policy configuration to RIC. The information included in the synchronization process includes but is not limited to: millisecond-level flow rate, no code, interference, scheduling status, etc. (reusing the current E2 interface).

[0046] In step S302, based on the resource information, a data disclosure policy for the RAN device is determined. The data disclosure policy is used to at least indicate that the predetermined data is transmitted by one or more protocol layers within the RAN device. As described above, the resource information corresponding to the service task has been obtained in step S301. Based on this resource information, the RIC can formulate a disclosure policy for the data associated with the current service task (i.e., the predetermined data), including the data disclosure mode, data disclosure content, and data disclosure granularity. This step aims to assign the service task to the appropriate protocol layer for execution.

[0047] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the data openness modes may include: diversion and mirroring, the specific definitions of which are as introduced above and will not be repeated here.

[0048] Data openness content: The data openness content is jointly formulated based on the data under the current business task (i.e., predetermined data) and the data characteristics of each protocol layer. Specifically, the content that can be opened at each protocol layer includes but is not limited to:

[0049] ①PHY layer: channel-related data, such as antenna sampling data that can support endogenous AI training or simulation, channel estimation, channel coding, modulation and demodulation, and other processing raw data.

[0050] ②MAC layer: Network quality-related data, such as wireless time and frequency domain resource usage data, cell, user, and bearer-level QoS evaluation and scheduling data, cell and user interference and power control data, and Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) process data.

[0051] ③RLC layer: Message-related data, such as the segmentation and retransmission status of messages in transparent mode TM, unacknowledged mode UM, and acknowledged mode AM, as well as the original message.

[0052] ④PDCP layer: Security-related data, such as statistics on data integrity, encryption and decryption, and message duplication, can be opened, and IP messages can be efficiently forwarded at the bearer level (without going through SDAP).

[0053] The granularity of data exposure: for example, different levels such as cell level, user level, QoS flow level, radio bearer level, and physical channel level.

[0054] Figure 4 is a further diagram illustrating the overall flow of the communication control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the overall flow of the communication control method can at least include the following main bodies: RIC, radio access network cloud resource management function, base station, core network. Among them, the base station can be one or more. That is, one RIC can control one or more base stations within its communication loop. Specifically, at least the following steps can be included. Figure 4

[0055] S1: The radio access network cloud resource management function completes the deployment of AI functions or edge cloud services within the base station according to the service task requirements.

[0056] S2-1: The RIC acquires the resource information sent by the radio access network cloud resource management function. That is, step S301 described above. Specifically, this step can be triggered by the radio access network cloud resource management function after service deployment, or it can be sent in response to the RIC's request information, which is not specifically limited by the present disclosure. The specific resource information sent by the radio access network cloud resource management function is as described in step S301, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] S2-2: The RIC acquires the resource information sent by the base station. Also, it is step S301 described above. As described above, this step can be sent in response to the RIC's request information. Specifically, the RIC can initiate a synchronization request message to the base station according to the Qos flow required by the service task of the radio access network cloud resource management function. The base station synchronizes the measurement information and resource usage related to the relevant Qos flow to the RIC, including but not limited to: the current QoS guarantee of the wireless bearer corresponding to the data flow (for example, QoS guarantee degree: the ratio of the actual transmission of the wireless bearer to the definition requirement in the core network QoS flow identifier (QFI)), idle cloud resource situation (such as processor type, core number, memory capacity, elastic expansion capability, etc.), wireless bearer and wireless channel situation (multiplexing the current E2 interface, including millisecond-level flow rate, codeless, interference, scheduling situation, etc.).

[0058] S2-3: The RIC acquires the resource information sent by the core network. Also, it is step S301 described above. As described above, this step can be sent in response to the RIC's request information. Specifically, the RIC can send a synchronization request message to the core network according to the data configuration information of the deployed cloud computing application, and the request message carries the shunt data destination address. Then the core network queries the matching session related configuration according to this, if the query matching result is obtained, the response information is fed back to the RIC, and the content included in the response information can be found in step S301, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] ​In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a dedicated session synchronization interface may be added between the RIC and the SMF or UPF to complete data synchronization.

[0060] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the RIC may be deployed outside the access network security domain, and the real-time RIC may query the session address through the network open function NEF in the core network.

[0061] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the RIC may be attached to the core network service bus, and the session query may be performed directly through the SMF service interface.

[0062] S3-1: RIC determines data openness policy. This is step S302. As described above, this step determines a data openness policy based on the resource information obtained above, and opens all data sent to the only data unloading point UPF in the prior art within the base station.

[0063] S3-2: RIC determines the service management policy. Based on the acquired resource information, the RIC determines the data openness policy and service management policy. The service management policy instructs the wireless access network cloud resource management function to manage service deployment.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the business management strategy may be to formulate a computing power deployment recommendation that is most beneficial to data transmission based on the computing power conditions of each base station, such as migrating related edge cloud computing tasks to a certain base station.

[0065] S4: Sending the service management policy to the wireless access network cloud resource management function. When S3-2 is executed, that is, when the service management policy exists, the RIC will send the service management policy to the wireless access network cloud resource management function to instruct the wireless access network cloud resource management function to perform service deployment management.

[0066] S5: The RAN cloud resource management function instructs the relevant base stations to deploy services and synchronizes them with the core network. When S4 is executed, that is, the service management policy is adopted by the RAN cloud resource management function, the RAN cloud resource management function initiates a service deployment instruction to the relevant base stations (i.e., the base stations that execute this service task) and synchronizes it with the core network.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the wireless access network cloud resource management function initiates the computing task migration process, and at the same time, the wireless access network cloud resource management function synchronizes the computing task network address change to the core network so that the core network session management can adjust the user plane routing strategy.

[0068] S6: The RIC sends a data opening policy to the relevant base station, instructing each protocol layer within the relevant base station to execute data opening and open the predetermined data to one or more data fields.

[0069] At this point, the overall process of the communication control method has been introduced. The following will provide an exemplary explanation based on actual business tasks.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the service task is a beyond-visual-range (BLOS) control task for drones. Currently, BOS control of drones is mainly based on the images provided by image transmission data as the control basis. When the flight distance exceeds 10 kilometers, it is beyond the control range of a general remote control and requires the use of a nearby base station to transmit image transmission data back. With the maturity of telepresence-computing technology, the base station can accurately measure the position of the drone by extracting and calculating the physical layer channel data of the received image transmission service, that is, it can provide enhanced image transmission positioning services. Compared with the existing technology, which obtains physical layer positioning related information in the form of measurement reports and summarizes it in the positioning server, it has greatly improved in terms of latency, accuracy, system complexity, etc. Specifically, the wireless access network cloud resource management function can deploy the positioning calculation task inside the base station on demand; then, based on this task, the RIC obtains resource information from one or more of the base station, the wireless access network cloud resource management function, and the core network; then, based on these resources, the RIC determines the data openness strategy, configures the openness of the PHY layer related data, and routes it to the deployed positioning calculation task. The open data may include, but is not limited to, UL-AoA (uplink angle of arrival), UL-RSRP (uplink reference signal received power), UL-RTOA (uplink relative time of arrival), and gNB RX-TX base station receive and transmit time difference. This information offers significant advantages over traditional signaling-based measurement reporting in terms of sampling frequency, accuracy, and data transmission efficiency, and can provide high-performance local positioning services. The final position data output by the positioning calculation can be forwarded to the user's flight control system by a data plane gateway (such as RIC-U) that can be exposed to the public network.

[0071] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the business task is a vehicle-road cooperative service task. Currently, the vehicle-road cooperative system has extremely high requirements for the latency and reliability of data transmission, and the channel uncertainty caused by the movement of the car makes it difficult for wireless transmission to provide stable latency and reliability. Therefore, with the help of AI capabilities, according to the QoE changes of the vehicle-road cooperative system, and in real time, the user-side message transmission strategy and transmission effect can be perceived, the optimal transmission strategy can be decided, and a more stable and reliable vehicle-road cooperative data transmission service can be provided. Specifically, the wireless access network cloud resource management function can deploy the vehicle-road cooperative service task inside the base station on demand; then the RIC obtains resource information from one or more of the base station, the wireless access network cloud resource management function, and the core network based on this task; then the RIC determines the data open strategy based on these resources, and opens the MAC, RLC, and PDCP layer service data unit SDU protocol header data, and routes it to the deployed AI computing task. By using these real-time and full-coverage protocol header data, combined with the vehicle-road cooperative service QoE indication forwarded by the RIC, transmission strategies including but not limited to modulation mode, data block size selection, scheduling priority, time-frequency domain resource allocation, SDU segment concatenation, and PDCP redundant transmission can be performed before or at the moment when the service is downgraded, so as to provide a more stable and reliable vehicle-road cooperative data transmission service.
