Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, apparatus, and device for updating UE capabilities. Background Art

[0002] In the current 5G communication system, when the network needs additional UE (User Equipment) radio access capability information, it initiates a UE capability report to the UE in the RRC_CONNECTED (Radio Resource Control Connected) state. When configuring or scheduling the UE, the network refers to the radio access capability parameters reported by the UE.

[0003] In the current 5G communication system, it is generally assumed that the capabilities of the UE generally do not change after the RRC connection and the UE capability report. Therefore, when the network device schedules, it does not consider whether the UE capabilities change. Then, there may be a situation where after the UE capabilities change, the network device still assumes that the UE capabilities will not change and still schedules the UE according to the UE capabilities before the change, which neither fully utilizes the capabilities of the UE nor supports the service requirements for UE upgrades.

[0098] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0099] The application scenarios described in the embodiments of the present invention are for more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can know that with the emergence of new application scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0100] In the current 5G communication system, as Figure 1 shown, when the network needs additional UE radio access capability information, the network sends a UE Capability Enquiry to the UE to query the UE capability information. In response to the network's query, the UE reports the UE capability information. When configuring or scheduling the UE, the network refers to the radio access capability parameters reported by the UE.

[0101] In the current 5G communication system, it is usually assumed that the capabilities of the UE generally do not change after RRC connection and UE capability reporting. Therefore, when the network device schedules, it does not consider whether the UE capabilities change.

[0102] In the future 6G communication system, however, the capabilities of the terminal will change with the changes of communication environment, user requirements and other conditions, and such changes may also occur after the RRC connection is established. For example, the parameter cqi-TableAlt reported by the UE capabilities indicates whether the UE supports the target BLER of 10 -5 , when artificial intelligence is introduced into the terminal, after the terminal updates the machine learning model, it makes the original unable to support the target BLER of 10 -5The UE becomes capable of supporting a target BLER of 10 -5 However, if the network device still assumes that the UE capabilities will not change and schedules the UE according to the UE capabilities before the change, it can neither fully utilize the capabilities of the UE nor support the service requirements for UE upgrades.

[0103] Embodiment 1

[0104] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for updating UE capabilities. By introducing a method for identifying changes in UE capabilities and reporting updated UE capabilities, it solves the problem that after the UE capabilities are upgraded, the network device still schedules according to the original UE capabilities, resulting in resource waste or the service requirements for UE upgrades not being met. As Figure 2 shown, it includes:

[0105] Step 201, update the machine learning model for processing communication data;

[0106] Among them, the machine learning model refers to a neural network model that can implement corresponding functions after being trained with samples. Specifically, according to the functional modules for communication data processing that need to be implemented, corresponding samples can be collected to train the model, and after training, a machine learning module that implements this function is obtained. And subsequently, when there are new samples, the machine learning model for processing communication data can be updated with the new samples.

[0107] The above update can be a periodic update according to a preset period after the RRC connection is established, or an update triggered by an external event.

[0108] Step 202, determine at least one performance metric related to UE capabilities based on the processing of communication data by the updated machine learning model;

[0109] Specifically, by using the updated machine learning model to process communication data, evaluate all performance metrics of the updated machine learning model that may affect UE capabilities, and determine the performance metrics that cause changes in UE capabilities. The performance metrics that cause changes in UE capabilities may be one or multiple.

[0110] Among them, the above evaluation can be based on the number of updates, for example, the machine model is evaluated every three updates, or it can be based on time, for example, evaluated at intervals of a period of time, or evaluated at a fixed time point.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present invention, UE capability information can be reflected by defined UE capability parameters, and the UE capability parameters can be determined by at least one corresponding performance metric. The at least one performance metric related to UE capabilities described above is specifically a performance metric that affects UE capability parameters.

[0112] Step 203: When it is determined that the UE capability has been updated according to the at least one performance metric, determine the updated UE capability information;

[0113] In the embodiments of the present invention, the UE capability information includes which UE capability parameters are preset according to the protocol. After determining the performance metric that causes the UE capability update, it can be determined whether the UE capability has been updated according to this performance metric.

[0114] As an optional implementation manner, determining that the UE capability has been updated according to the at least one performance metric includes at least one of the following steps:

[0115] If at least one performance metric is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, determine that the UE capability has been updated;

[0116] If the change amplitude of at least one performance metric is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, determine that the UE capability has been updated;

[0117] Wherein, the preset threshold is a preset value and can be modified according to requirements.

[0118] When it is determined that the UE capability has been updated, obtain the corresponding UE capability parameter according to the performance metric that causes the UE capability update. This corresponding relationship is preset according to the protocol and can be added according to requirements, and report the updated UE capability parameter to the network.

[0119] As an optional implementation manner, when determining the updated UE capability information when it is determined that the UE capability has been updated according to the at least one performance metric, it includes:

[0120] Determine the UE capability parameter corresponding to the at least one performance metric according to the corresponding relationship between different UE capability parameters and performance metrics;

[0121] Determine the UE capability parameter that has been updated.

[0122] If the determined UE capability parameter has been updated, it indicates that the UE capability information needs to be updated. If the determined UE capability parameter has not been updated, it indicates that the UE capability information does not need to be updated.

[0123] Step 204: Report the updated UE capability information to the network;

[0124] As an optional implementation manner, reporting the updated UE capability information to the network includes:

[0125] When the reporting condition is met, trigger reporting the updated UE capability information to the network; or

[0126] Send a request to the network to report updated UE capability information, and report the updated UE capability information when receiving an indication from the network allowing the report.

[0127] In the embodiments of the present invention, the UE reports updated UE capability information to the network in two ways. The first way is that when the UE meets the reporting conditions, it triggers reporting the updated UE capability information to the network. The second way is that the UE requests to report the updated UE capability information.

[0128] In both the first way and the second way, the UE reports the updated UE capability information to the network through the RRC IE in the RRC information;

[0129] Among them, the updated UE capability information includes mandatory UE capability parameters and updated UE capability parameters.

[0130] Specifically, the UE capability parameters can be divided into mandatory UE capability parameters and optional UE capability parameters. All mandatory UE capability parameters must be included in the updated UE capability information reported to the network, and the updated UE capability parameters may be mandatory UE capability parameters or optional UE capability parameters;

[0131] If the updated UE capability parameter is a mandatory UE capability parameter, then when reporting the updated UE capability information to the network, the updated UE capability information only includes mandatory UE capability parameters;

[0132] If the updated UE capability parameter is an optional UE capability parameter, then when reporting the updated UE capability information to the network, the updated UE capability information includes mandatory UE capability parameters and the updated optional UE capability parameter.

[0133] The specific processes of the first way and the second way are elaborated in detail below.

[0134] The first way

[0135] As Figure 3 shown, when meeting the reporting conditions, trigger reporting the updated UE capability information to the network, including:

[0136] Determine that the switch indicating whether to allow or prohibit the UE from reporting updated UE capability information configured by the network side is in the state of allowing the reporting of updated UE capability information, and trigger reporting the updated UE capability information to the network.

[0137] Specifically, after the RRC connection is established, the UE regularly updates the artificial intelligence model, or is triggered to update due to changes in the external environment. The updated machine learning model may have better performance or lower complexity, and the updated machine learning model causes changes in the UE capability information.

[0138] At the same time, the network side configures a switch indicating whether to allow / prohibit the UE to report updated UE capability information. When the switch is in a state of allowing reporting of updated UE capability information, the UE triggers reporting of updated UE capability information to the network; when the switch is in a state of prohibiting reporting of updated UE capability information, the UE cannot report updated UE capability information.

[0139] When the UE capability information is updated and the switch is in a state of allowing reporting of the updated UE capability information, the UE reports the updated UE capability information to the network through the RRC IE trigger in the RRC information.

[0140] Method 2

[0141] The UE initiates a request to the network to report updated UE capability information, and upon receiving a reporting permission indication from the network, reports the updated UE capability information.

[0142] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the UE sends a request to the network to report updated UE capability information. When the network allows the UE to report the updated UE capability information, the network sends an allow instruction to the UE. In response to the network's allow instruction, the UE reports the updated UE capability information to the network. When the network rejects the UE from reporting the updated UE capability information, the network rejects the UE's request to report the updated UE capability information by sending a reject instruction or not sending an instruction, and the UE does not report the updated UE capability information.

[0143] Specifically, after the RRC connection is established, the UE periodically updates the artificial intelligence model, or the update is triggered by changes in the external environment. The updated machine learning model may have better performance or lower complexity, and the updated machine learning model will cause changes in the UE capability information.

[0144] When the UE capability information is updated, the UE initiates a request to report the updated UE capability information to the network.

[0145] As an optional implementation manner, initiating a request to report updated UE capability information to the network includes:

[0146] A request for reporting updated UE capability information is sent to the network through the information bits in the UCI carried by the PUCCH.

[0147] If a reporting permission indication is received from the network via PDCCH, the updated UE capability information is reported via the RRC IE in the RRC information;

[0148] If a reporting rejection indication sent by the network via the PDCCH is received, or if no indication from the network is received, the updated UE capability information is not reported.

[0149] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a UE capability update method. By introducing a method for identifying UE capability changes and reporting updated UE capabilities, it solves the problem that after the UE capability is upgraded, the network device still schedules according to the original UE capability, resulting in resource waste or the failure to meet the service requirements of UE upgrades. For example Figure 6 as shown, it includes:

[0150] Step 601: Receive the updated UE capability information sent by the UE when the set condition is met. The set condition is to process communication data using an updated machine learning model to determine at least one performance metric related to the UE capability, and determine that the UE capability has been updated based on the at least one performance metric;

[0151] As an optional implementation manner, receiving the updated UE capability information sent by the UE when the set condition is met includes:

[0152] When the UE meets the reporting condition, trigger reporting the updated UE capability information to the network; or

[0153] Receive a request for the updated UE capability information reported by the UE, send an allow - reporting indication to the UE, receive the updated UE capability information reported by the UE, or send a reject - reporting indication / non - sending indication to reject the UE from reporting the updated UE capability information.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present invention, the network receives the updated UE capability information reported by the UE in two ways. Way three is that the network receives the updated UE capability information reported by the UE when the UE meets the reporting condition. Way four is that the network receives a request for the updated UE capability information reported by the UE and sends an allow or reject reporting indication to the UE.

[0155] In way three and way four, when receiving that the UE meets the set condition, the network receives the updated UE capability information sent through the RRC IE in the RRC message;

[0156] Among them, the updated UE capability information includes mandatory UE capability parameters and updated UE capability parameters.

[0157] Specifically, the UE capability parameters can be divided into mandatory UE capability parameters and optional UE capability parameters. The updated UE capability information sent by the received UE when the set condition is met must include all mandatory UE capability parameters, and the updated UE capability parameters may be mandatory UE capability parameters or optional UE capability parameters;

[0158] If the updated UE capability parameter is a mandatory UE capability parameter, when receiving the updated UE capability information sent by the UE that meets the set conditions, the updated UE capability information only includes the mandatory UE capability parameter;

[0159] If the updated UE capability parameter is an optional UE capability parameter, when receiving the updated UE capability information sent by the UE that meets the set conditions, the updated UE capability information includes the mandatory UE capability parameter and the updated optional UE capability parameter.

[0160] Step 602: Configure or schedule the UE according to the updated UE capability information.

[0161] The following elaborates on the specific processes of Method 3 and Method 4 in detail.

[0162] Method 3

[0163] When the network receives that the UE meets the reporting conditions, it triggers the reporting of updated UE capability information to the network, including:

[0164] Configure a switch for the UE to indicate whether to allow or prohibit the UE from reporting updated UE capability information;

[0165] When the network receives that the UE meets the reporting conditions, it triggers the reporting of updated UE capability information to the network, including:

[0166] When the network receives that the UE determines that the switch is in the state of allowing the reporting of updated UE capability information, it triggers the reporting of updated UE capability information to the network.

[0167] Specifically, after the RRC connection is established, the UE regularly updates the artificial intelligence model, or is triggered to update due to changes in the external environment. The updated machine learning model may have better performance or lower complexity, and the updated machine learning model causes changes in the UE capability information.

[0168] Meanwhile, the network side configures a switch to indicate whether to allow or prohibit the UE from reporting updated UE capability information. When the switch is in the state of allowing the reporting of updated UE capability information, the UE is allowed to trigger the reporting of updated UE capability information to the network; when the switch is in the state of prohibiting the reporting of updated UE capability information, the UE is not allowed to trigger the reporting of updated UE capability information to the network.

[0169] When the UE capability information is updated and the switch is in the state of allowing the reporting of updated UE capability information, the network receives the UE triggering the reporting of updated UE capability information through the RRC IE in the RRC message.

[0170] Method 4

[0171] Receive a request for updated UE capability information reported by the UE, send an indication to allow reporting to the UE, receive the updated UE capability information reported by the UE, or send a rejection indication / non - sending indication to the UE to reject the UE from reporting the updated UE capability information.

[0172] Specifically, after the RRC connection is established, the UE periodically updates the artificial intelligence model, or is triggered to update due to changes in the external environment. The updated machine learning model may have better performance or lower complexity, and the updated machine learning model will cause changes in the UE capability information.

[0173] When the UE capability information is updated, the network receives a request for the updated UE capability information reported by the UE.

[0174] As an optional implementation, receiving a request for updated UE capability information reported by the UE includes:

[0175] Receive a request for updated UE capability information reported by the UE through the information bits in the UCI carried on the PUCCH.

[0176] According to the received request for updated UE capability information reported by the UE, determine whether the UE needs to report the updated UE capability information;

[0177] If it is determined that the UE needs to report the updated UE capability information, send an indication to allow reporting through the PDCCH and accept the updated UE capability information reported by the UE;

[0178] If it is determined that the UE does not need to report the updated UE capability information, send a rejection indication through the PDCCH, or do not send any indication to reject the request for the updated UE capability information reported by the UE.

[0179] Example 1

[0180] When the UE meets the reporting conditions, it triggers reporting the updated UE capability information to the network. The main steps are as follows:

[0181] Step 1, the network configures a switch to indicate whether to allow / prohibit the UE from reporting updated UE capability information to control whether to allow the UE to trigger reporting of updated UE capability information;

[0182] At least one module among the modulation and demodulation, channel estimation, signal detection, encoding and decoding, etc. functions of the network and the UE is implemented through deep - learning algorithms. A good machine learning model will bring lower complexity, that is, lower processing delay;

[0183] The network and the UE periodically update the above - mentioned machine learning model, or the update of the above - mentioned machine learning model is triggered by a decline in the communication environment or communication performance;

[0184] Step 2, after the UE updates the machine learning model, calculate the performance metric of the UE after the update, i.e., the PDSCH processing time. If the PDSCH processing time of the UE becomes smaller and is less than the threshold corresponding to the PDSCH processing capability 2, it is determined that the UE capability has been updated.

[0185] Step 3, according to the change in the PDSCH processing capability, determine that the UE capability parameter is upgraded from the PDSCH processing capability 1 (pdschprocessing capability 1) to the PDSCH processing capability 2 (PDSCH processing capability 2).

[0186] Step 4, update the UE capability parameter in the downlink feature set (FeatureSetDownlink) IE in the UE IE from pdsch-ProcessingType1 to pdsch-ProcessingType2, and keep other mandatory UE capability parameters unchanged.

[0187] Step 5, when it is judged that the switch indicating whether to allow or prohibit the UE from reporting the updated UE capability information configured by the network is in the state of allowing the UE to report the updated UE capability information, report it through the RRC IE in the RRC information.

[0188] Example 2

[0189] The UE requests to report the updated UE capability information. The main steps are as follows:

[0190] Step 1, at least one of the function modules such as modulation and demodulation, channel estimation, signal detection, and coding and decoding of the base station and the UE is implemented by a deep learning algorithm, or both the base station and the UE adopt an end-to-end design, that is, a deep neural network is used to replace the traditional communication modules. A good machine learning model will bring good BLER (Block Error Rate) performance.

[0191] The network and the terminal periodically update the above machine learning model, or the update of the above machine learning model is triggered by the degradation of the communication environment or communication performance.

[0192] Step 2, after the UE updates the machine learning model, if the BLER performance of the UE performance metric changes from higher than 10 -5 to lower than 10 -5 , and the performance is relatively stable, it is determined that the UE capability has been updated.

[0193] Step 3: According to the change of BLER performance, determine that the UE capability parameter cqi-TableAlt in the Phy-Parameters IE of the RRC IE is updated from notsupported to supported, and other mandatory UE capability parameters remain unchanged;

[0194] Step 4: The network side sets a timer for UE capability update. This timer can be set to run within a set time period or can be set to be triggered according to a specific event or set time;

[0195] Step 5: The UE sends a request to the network to update the UE capability information through 1 bit in the UCI of the PUCCH.

[0196] Step 6: After receiving the request, the network side determines whether to allow the UE to report updated UE capability information according to whether the timer for updating the UE capability is running. For example, when the timer for updating the UE capability is not running, the base station allows the UE to report updated UE capability information, and sends a reporting permission indication through the PDCCH;

[0197] Step 7: After receiving the indication of allowing reporting, the UE reports through the RRC IE in the RRC information.
