Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of network communication, and more specifically, to an information transmission method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's highly competitive communications and internet environment, sensing network changes and improving service awareness capabilities, as well as building, maintaining, and optimizing networks in a targeted manner, are key factors for operators and equipment manufacturers to enhance their competitiveness. Currently, the industry's understanding of networks is often achieved through measurement and testing of existing system architectures, which has significant limitations.

[0003] Sensing the external environment and internal layers of a wireless network involves collecting information at different locations and transmitting it to different information nodes for different data processing. Current communication network protocols also reference the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) seven-layer model, with each layer being independent, transparent, and individually optimized, allowing communication only between adjacent layers in a fixed manner. Existing information sensing methods, besides having limitations in the scope and capability of sensing information, also suffer from drawbacks such as long information interaction times, inflexibility in adapting to information characteristics, the large volume and complexity of sensed information leading to redundancy, cumbersome information transmission and processing methods, and difficulty in guaranteeing service quality and latency requirements during information transmission.

[0105] Specific examples in this embodiment can be found in the examples described in the above embodiments and exemplary implementations, and will not be repeated here.

[0106] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided in this disclosure, detailed descriptions will be given below in conjunction with specific scenario embodiments.

[0107] In the past, communication systems acquired and transmitted information sequentially according to protocol layers, resulting in limited perceptible information. Furthermore, the implementation methods during information transmission were complex and it was difficult to guarantee service quality.

[0108] To meet communication needs, it is necessary to sense information from the communication system. Information sensing requires determining what information to collect and how to collect it based on the specific requirements. In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, information collection is achieved by decomposing the sensing service requirements layer by layer.

[0109] Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of the information transmission mapping relationship according to an optional embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 4 As shown, each acquisition source level includes an acquisition unit and a service unit. The acquisition unit is used to obtain the information acquisition location, specific content, and information indication method of its own acquisition source. The acquisition location and content can be indicated by sharing a single ID or by indicating them separately. The information indication method can be identified using AQI (Acquisition Quality Indication), which is used to control the quality of perceived information at the transmission and processing layers. The service unit is used to send information such as the information acquisition location, specific content, and / or information indication method of the next-level acquisition source to the next-level acquisition source. The service unit also determines its own service ID, which indicates the service capabilities, service requirements, purposes, strategies, report content, and service intent that the acquisition source at this level can provide. The service unit determines its own service ID by using at least one of the information acquisition location, specific content, information indication method, and the service ID of the superior acquisition source. The first network element performs information acquisition based on the acquired acquisition indication information; the first network element determines the second network element based on its own service ID and sends acquisition indication information to the second network element to guide it in performing information acquisition. The information collected by the first network element includes, but is not limited to: collection location information, content information collected at the collection location, collection method indication information, and service identifier. This information can be the collection information of the first network element itself or the collection information of other network elements, or it can be the collection information forwarded by the third network element to the second network element through the first network element.

[0110] by Figure 4For example, the first network element acts as the first level of information collection, serving as the first collection source; the second network element acts as the second level, serving as the second collection source; and the third network element can be a superior information collection source of the first network element, or a peer or non-level collection source used for information forwarding. The first network element determines the location and collection content of the second network element, and the second network element (lower-level collection source) determines its own service requirements based on the service requirements of the first network element (superior-level collection source). For each level of network element, when the collection source at this level does not receive a collection information instruction, it can also generate its own collection information instruction through the received information collection location, collection content, and superior service identifier.

[0111] The information collection indication methods include, but are not limited to: collection type, collection accuracy, collection cycle, collection content priority, collection content reliability, collection latency requirements, collection content lifecycle, collection content Quality of Service (QoS), collection content transmission method, centralized collection, distributed collection, collection network element, direct collection, indirect collection, and transparent collection. For example, the collection type can be measurement-related, service-related, signaling-related, etc.; different collection content priorities determine the order of information collection; collection content reliability and collection latency requirements ensure service reliability and timeliness, indicating whether collection and transmission should be prioritized or discarded during congestion; the collection content lifecycle determines the control of the generation, maintenance, and destruction of collected information; transparent collection indicates that the primary function of this level of network element is to forward collection information indications. Those skilled in the art should understand that in practical applications, the optional embodiments of this disclosure are not limited to the examples above.

[0112] For each network element, the corresponding data collection source at each level can be a combination of multiple object IDs, a node ID, an internal identifier of a user at a certain protocol layer, a network identifier, a cell identifier plus a user identifier, etc. It can also be the node location of the collected data, such as base station ID, UE ID, beam ID, etc. It can also refer to various protocol layers, such as the physical layer (PHY), medium access control (MAC), radio resource control (RRC) layer, etc., and can even refer to different domains.

[0113] Figure 5 This is a structural block diagram of the multi-level mapping relationship of the perception model according to an optional embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 5As shown, a sensing service ID can be mapped to multiple lower-level collection source IDs. Each information collection point has its own collection source ID (associated with the previous-level sensing service ID) and a sensing service ID (used to associate with the next-level collection source ID), using a tree-like chain structure and an onion-peeling method for mapping. The tree-like chain structure refers to the association mapping from higher-level information sensing to lower-level information sensing, such as the mapping from a higher-level collection source to a lower-level collection source. The onion-peeling method in this embodiment refers to the layer-by-layer decomposition of sensing requirements. That is, there is a top-level requirement, which is then divided into requirements at each level. The grading ends when the top-level requirement can be satisfied.

[0114] from Figure 5 As can be seen, different service IDs can be mapped to the same collection ID. For example, service ID1 and service ID2 both have collection ID4 at the next level. In addition, a service ID can be associated with multiple collection sources that appear to be at different levels from another service ID. Collection ID8 and collection ID9 appear to be at different levels in the entire mapping architecture, but they can both be mapped to service ID6.

[0115] The association between each service unit and the next-level acquisition source can be represented by a mapping from service ID to acquisition source ID. Table 1 is a mapping linked list of the multi-level perception model. As shown in Table 1, each acquisition source ID has its own perception service ID. Each acquisition source generates its own service ID based on the information obtained at its level through methods such as AI inference or table lookup. The service ID determines the next-level acquisition source through methods such as AI inference or table lookup.

[0116] Table 1

[0117]

[0118] There are two methods for mapping service IDs to lower-level data sources: static mapping and dynamic mapping. Static mapping refers to a fixed mapping relationship set up in the network, where each level of data source ID and service ID corresponds to fixed data collection information at the next level, such as lower-level data source ID, lower-level service ID, lower-level data collection location, and lower-level data collection content. Dynamic mapping refers to a mapping relationship that is automatically adjusted based on the network system's operating conditions. Through big data analysis, artificial intelligence, automatic learning, and memorizing network operating conditions, the optimal lower-level data source, AQI, and service ID are automatically calculated when needed. Furthermore, the associated mapping can be implemented as a subnet-level local mapping table, storing a portion of the mapping information at each node. Static mapping offers good controllability, is easy to configure, and requires fewer resources, but its disadvantages include time-consuming configuration and maintenance, slow response to network changes, and the need for configuration personnel to have a comprehensive understanding of the network situation. Dynamic mapping can adapt to dynamic network changes and reduce errors, but it requires certain resources for intelligent computing and manages more information. However, it should be considered that combining dynamic mapping with AI can achieve better results.

[0119] It should be noted that in the following embodiments, the collection ID is used to identify the collection location and collection content, and AQI is used to indicate the collection instruction method.

[0120] Optional Implementation Method 1: Determining the Target Cell for Handover from Multiple Dimensions. When a user moves to the edge of a cell and needs to hand over from the serving cell to the target cell, the signal quality of multiple neighboring cells is typically detected, and handover restrictions (thresholds) are set. When any neighboring cell exceeds the threshold for handover to the target cell, the handover is triggered. This threshold-based method rarely considers multiple factors such as the load of each cell and service characteristics simultaneously. Even if other factors are considered, it requires complex operations and conversion into modifications to the handover threshold, which significantly reduces the accuracy and timeliness of the handover. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of determining the target cell for handover based on optional embodiments of this disclosure, such as... Figure 6 As shown, this optional embodiment can achieve automatic switching of multiple factors.

[0121] Level 1:

[0122] The perception service corresponding to data collection source ID0 is service ID0. Service ID0 indicates that the UE has moved to the cell edge and needs to select a target cell for handover. Data collection sources ID1 (cell 1) and ID2 (cell 2) are configured, and both are configured with the same AQI1 (ARI1 contains indicators of parameters requiring multi-dimensional evaluation). Data collection source ID1 determines its service ID1 (representing the requirement for comprehensive collection of cell indicators) based on service ID0 and AQI1.

[0123] Level 2:

[0124] Service ID1 determines three collection sources ID3 / ID4 / ID to meet its requirements. The processing is the same for both cells, so we will only take cell1 as an example.

[0125] The channel quality after layer 3 filtering is obtained from the source ID3, corresponding to AQI2, and then converted into service ID2.

[0126] The source ID4 is used to obtain the resource occupancy information of the target cell, such as MAC scheduling information, which corresponds to AQI3 and is converted into service ID3.

[0127] The source ID5 obtains slice information in the core network, such as service type, latency information, service priority, etc., corresponding to AQI4, and converts it into service ID4.

[0128] The data source ID6 is obtained by using internal speed testing software (app-based) to measure the UE's movement speed. Based on the movement speed, the user group scenario is determined, corresponding to AQI5, which is then converted into Service ID5.

[0129] Level 3:

[0130] Service ID2 identifies two acquisition sources. Both acquisition sources use acquisition ID7 to indicate that the measurement is performed at the same acquisition location. The requirement to measure Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) through different AQI values ​​is converted into Service ID6 and 7 respectively.

[0131] Service ID5 determines the source ID7, which is also a physical layer instantaneous RSRP measurement, and is converted into service ID6.

[0132] Service ID3 and Service ID4 can be further broken down into the next level of collection source and service ID, which will not be given examples here.

[0133] Level 4:

[0134] Service ID6 determines that the cell uses Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) for RSRP measurement, and Service ID7 determines that the cell and neighboring cells use CSI-RS for RSRQ measurement. Since both are measured using CSI-RS, the same AQI8 can be used.

[0135] Combining the information from the previous level (contextual information), Service ID6 can also be identified as an uplink SRS measurement for a specific UE. In other words, the service ID at each level does not necessarily have to be mapped to a fixed service ID at the next level, but may be inferred and mapped by referring to information from the previous level or even multiple levels above.

[0136] It should be noted that Embodiment 1 provides a more detailed breakdown, while the schematic diagrams of other embodiments do not break down to the lowest level. It's important to understand that when the system is running, if the requirements at a certain level can be met, further breakdown is unnecessary. For example, if signal quality can be obtained at L3 for a certain period, there is no need to break down to L1 to obtain instantaneous signal quality.

[0137] Optional Implementation Example 2: Beamcombining across different Physical Layer Cell Identity (PCI)

[0138] Figure 7 This is a perception diagram illustrating the use of multiple PCI combined beams to provide services to a UE according to an optional embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 7 As shown, for users at the edge of a cell or users with high priority, using specific beams from multiple cells with strong signals to provide services can greatly reduce beam interference and improve the quality of service for users.

[0139] Here, the acquisition source ID0 is located outside the wireless communication system, and its external demand corresponds to service ID0. Service ID0 maps to acquisition source ID1 in the access network. Acquisition ID1 corresponds to service ID1, and the corresponding service is the selection of multiple PCI beams. Service ID1 converts the service demand into information acquisition on acquisition sources ID2 and ID3. Acquisition sources ID2 and ID3 obtain service ID2 based on the information from service ID1 and acquisition source ID1. Service ID2 indicates the selection of the best beam. Based on acquisition ID2 and service ID2, acquisition ID4 and service ID3 are obtained and L3 filtered information is acquired. This process continues, further decomposing to acquisition ID5 and service ID4 for L1 filtered information acquisition. The downward decomposition of acquisition ID3 refers to acquisition ID2. By using information such as acquisition location, acquisition content, acquisition purpose, and acquisition requirements, the next-level acquisition source and its location, content, and acquisition requirements can be determined.

[0140] Option 3: Selection of Radio Access Technology (RAT) after weighted evaluation of different frequency points.

[0141] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of multi-band RAT selection according to an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 8As shown, this paper presents the selection of RATs in scenarios where multiple RATs simultaneously operate on multiple frequencies. Multi-level decomposition of sensing is achieved through a frequency-weighted decomposition method down to single-frequency measurement. This sensing model also exhibits good adaptability to multi-RAT access across different standards and systems.

[0142] Optional Implementation Example 4: Specific App Perception Optimization

[0143] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a specific APP perception optimization according to an optional embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 9 As shown, a specific app may include multiple services, requiring precise optimization for each. Taking WeChat as an example, this app needs to support video, voice, and SMS functions. Through layer-by-layer perception, service requirements are broken down to the session, then to the QoS flow, and finally to the bearer. As illustrated, the video service is mapped from QoSFlow1 to the data radio bearer DRB1. By sensing system resource usage and the radio signal quality of the UE group, combined with logical channel priority allocation, video service optimization can be achieved, such as standard definition / high definition conversion, reducing resource usage during idle periods, and increasing allocation priority. Voice service QoS flow2 and SMS service QoS flow3 are both mapped to DRB2 because the data flow is small and highly important, potentially requiring higher priority and the use of fixed resources for protection.

[0144] Optional Implementation Example 5: Optimization for Specific Users / User Groups

[0145] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a structure optimized for a specific user / user group according to an optional embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 10 As shown, for specific users, such as those who frequently complain, their coverage and air interface signal quality can be determined through perception, accurately locating problems. For specific user groups (communities, business districts), shared interests can be extracted to deliver service content. In this diagram, the data collection source is the user's identifier. Different user identifiers exist in external applications, the core network, and the access network, requiring conversion of these identifiers during perception mapping.

[0146] Optional Implementation Example Six: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Awareness Optimization

[0147] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the perceived optimization structure for TCP congestion judgment according to an optional embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 11As shown, the TCP layer senses the current traffic volume and wireless environment status to determine whether the congestion is caused by excessive data flow or by data loss due to poor wireless conditions, and further adjusts the congestion window and timeout period. This method achieves cross-layer information collection and sensing.

[0148] Optional Implementation Example 7: Cross-Domain Sensing

[0149] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the cross-domain sensing structure according to an optional embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 12 As shown, information about different domains can also be obtained through multi-domain decomposition.

[0150] This disclosure provides an optional embodiment of an information transmission method and apparatus that decomposes sensing requirements, enabling flexible cross-layer information sensing. Requirements can be directly associated with their desired information collection points, and during information flow transmission, a collection quality indicator is used to ensure the quality of service of the information flow at the transmission and processing levels. This optional embodiment is applicable to information sensing in existing communication systems and future communication architectures, and can adapt to service-based or domain-based architectures for information sensing and intent networks.

[0151] The optional embodiments disclosed herein can be widely used in various scenarios of wireless and wired communication, and can also be applied to network architectures such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, intent networks, B5G networks, and 6G networks, and have broad commercial prospects.
