When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure.

This disclosure does not limit the number of network devices and terminals included in the wireless communication system.

[0087] It is further understood that the wireless communication system of this disclosure is a network providing wireless communication functionality. The wireless communication system can employ different communication technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance.

For ease of description, this disclosure may sometimes simply refer to the wireless communication network as a network.

[0088] Furthermore, the network device involved in this disclosure can also be referred to as a wireless access network device. This wireless access network device can be: a base station, an evolved Node B (eBY), a home base station, an access point (AP) in a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP), or a transmission and reception point (TRP), etc. It can also be a gNB in ​​an NR system, or a component or part of a base station.

For example, the terminal can be a handheld device with wireless connectivity, an in-vehicle device, etc. Currently, some examples of terminals include: smartphones, client front-end devices, pocket personal computers (PPCs), handheld computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, tablets, wearable devices, or in-vehicle devices, etc. In addition, when it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the terminal device can also be an in-vehicle device. It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the specific technology or specific device form adopted by the terminal.

[0090] In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has made continuous breakthroughs in multiple fields. The ongoing development of fields such as intelligent voice and computer vision has not only brought a wide variety of applications to smart terminals, but has also found widespread use in education, transportation, home, healthcare, retail, security, and many other sectors, bringing convenience to people's lives while promoting industrial upgrading across various industries. AI technology is also accelerating its cross-disciplinary integration with other disciplines, combining knowledge from different fields while providing new directions and methods for the development of various disciplines.

[0091] In related technologies, research projects on the application of AI technology in the radio access network (RAN) have been established to introduce artificial intelligence into the radio interface and assist in improving the transmission technology of the radio interface. Furthermore, the application of AI technology for communication processing in the radio interface is currently supported, including the training and inference of AI models.

[0092] In some embodiments, AI models are introduced for functions such as Channel State Information (CSI), beam management, and positioning. For example, CSI can be compressed or predicted based on AI models, or optimal beams can be predicted based on AI models. However, due to the limitations of the generalization ability of AI models in AI communication mode, and because AI models cannot work well in all configurations and environments, it is necessary to monitor the operation of AI models in AI communication mode.

[0093] In some embodiments, when a performance degradation of the AI ​​model is detected, the terminal can fall back to a traditional non-AI communication mode for processing.

[0094] The problem that needs to be solved is how to determine a suitable traditional non-AI communication mode for the current environment.

[0095] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides a communication method that determines the configuration information of the non-AI communication mode when a terminal needs to switch from AI communication mode to non-AI communication mode, thereby improving switching efficiency and the terminal's communication performance.

[0096] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the communication method is executed by the terminal and includes the following steps.

[0097] In step S11, in response to the terminal switching from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, the configuration information of the second communication mode is determined.

[0098] In some embodiments, switching can also be understood as falling back.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first communication mode is an AI communication mode, and the second communication mode is a non-AI communication mode.

[0100] In some embodiments, AI communication mode can be understood as a processing mode that communicates based on an AI model, while non-AI mode can be understood as a processing mode that does not communicate based on an AI model. For example, in AI communication mode, the terminal can use the AI ​​model for positioning; in non-AI communication mode, the terminal can use traditional algorithms (such as TDOA) for positioning.

[0101] In some embodiments, the configuration information for the second communication mode differs depending on the scenario of the first communication mode.

[0102] For example, the first communication mode is an AI-based positioning scenario, and the configuration information for the second communication mode includes which traditional positioning mode the terminal uses, such as TDOA or Multi-RTT. If it is TDOA, the configuration information includes the reference signal used for positioning and the relevant configuration of the network device used for positioning.

[0103] In another example, the first communication mode is an AI-based beam management scenario, and the configuration information of the second communication mode may include the specific configuration information of the RS and the information fed back by the terminal.

[0104] In some embodiments, the terminal can communicate based on configuration information of the second communication mode.

[0105] For example, in a positioning scenario, if the second configuration information configures the terminal to use the TDOA algorithm for positioning, then the terminal will perform positioning based on the TDOA algorithm and other relevant configuration information.

[0106] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the terminal needs to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, the configuration information of the second communication mode is determined, and communication is performed based on the determined configuration information, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.

[0107] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, the terminal can determine the configuration information of the second communication mode based on a first rule.

[0108] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0109] In step S21, in response to the terminal switching from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, the configuration information of the second communication mode is determined based on the first rule.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first rule may be defined by a protocol. Optionally, configuration information for the second communication mode is determined based on the protocol definition.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first rule includes at least one of the following:

[0112] The configuration information for the second communication mode is the configuration information for the second communication mode before the terminal enters the first communication mode;

[0113] The configuration information for the second communication mode is the configuration information for the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device.

[0114] In some embodiments, the configuration information for the second communication mode is the configuration information for the second communication mode before the terminal enters the first communication mode.

[0115] For example, taking a positioning scenario, if the second communication mode before the terminal enters the first communication mode is the TDOA algorithm, then the configuration information of the second communication mode includes the reference signal used for positioning and the network device used for positioning. Therefore, after the terminal switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, it performs positioning based on the reference signal used for positioning under the TDOA algorithm and the network device used for positioning.

[0116] In some embodiments, the configuration information for the second communication mode in the first rule is the configuration information for the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device.

[0117] For example, taking a positioning scenario as an example, if the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device is the TDOA algorithm, then the configuration information of the second communication mode includes the reference signal used for positioning and the network device used for positioning. Therefore, after the terminal switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, it performs positioning based on the reference signal used for positioning under the TDOA algorithm and the network device used for positioning.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first rule includes configuration information for the second communication mode that is the configuration information of the second communication mode before the terminal enters the first communication mode, and configuration information for the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device. Therefore, when the terminal switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, it determines whether to communicate based on the configuration information of the second communication mode before the terminal entered the first communication mode or based on the configuration information of the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device.

[0119] For example, the terminal compares the communication quality when communicating based on the configuration information of the second communication mode before entering the first communication mode and the communication quality when communicating based on the configuration information of the second communication mode when accessing the network device, and selects the configuration information with higher communication quality for communication.

[0120] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first rule, and performs communication based on the determined configuration information, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.

[0121] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, the terminal determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first information.

[0122] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0123] In step S31, in response to the terminal switching from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, the configuration information of the second communication mode is determined based on the first information.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first information is pre-configured by the network device. In some embodiments, the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device and determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first information. Of course, the first information may also be pre-configured by other devices, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0126] Configuration information for a single second communication mode;

[0127] Configuration information for multiple second communication modes.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first information is configuration information for a single second communication mode pre-configured by the network device.

[0129] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device is pre-configured with configuration information for a single second communication mode. When the terminal switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, communication is performed based on the configuration information of the single second communication mode pre-configured by the network device.

[0130] In some embodiments, the first information is configuration information of a plurality of second communication modes pre-configured by the network device.

[0131] In some embodiments, the configuration information of different second communication modes among the plurality of second communication modes is different.

[0132] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, configuration information of the second communication mode used when the terminal switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode is determined based on the first indication information.

[0133] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 5As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0134] In step S41, first indication information is received, which is used to indicate the configuration information of a second communication mode from the configuration information of a plurality of second communication modes.

[0135] In some embodiments, the first indication information may be carried in higher-layer signaling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0136] In step S42, configuration information for the second communication mode is determined based on the first indication information.

[0137] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the first information includes configuration information for multiple second communication modes, first indication information is received, and configuration information for the second communication mode to be used is determined based on the first indication information.

[0138] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, when a terminal determines to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode based on indication information from a network device, the indication information may be the first indication information.

[0139] For example, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, and the bit overhead of the first indication information is 2 bits, the first bit is used to instruct the terminal to switch to the second communication mode 1, and the second bit is used to instruct the terminal to switch to the second communication mode 2.

[0140] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the first information pre-configures configuration information for multiple second communication modes, the terminal determines to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on the first indication information, and determines the configuration information of the second communication mode used by the terminal from the configuration information of the multiple second communication modes based on the first indication information.

[0141] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, when a terminal determines to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode based on indication information from a network device, the indication information may be second indication information.

[0142] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0143] In step S51, a second instruction message is received, which is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode.

[0144] In some embodiments, the second indication information may be carried in higher-level signaling, such as RRC.

[0145] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal determines to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on the second indication information, and determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first rule or the first information.

[0146] For example, the terminal determines to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on the second indication information, and determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first rule.

[0147] For example, the network device is pre-configured with configuration information for a single second communication mode. The terminal determines to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on the second indication information, and determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the pre-configuration of the network device.

[0148] For example, network devices are pre-configured with configuration information for multiple second communication modes. The terminal determines to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on the second indication information, and determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first indication information.

[0149] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, the terminal determines that a preset condition is met and decides to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode.

[0150] In some embodiments, the preset conditions may be that the rate of decline in the inference performance of the AI ​​mode in the first communication mode exceeds a rate threshold, or that the accuracy of the inference performance of the AI ​​model in the first communication mode is lower than an accuracy threshold, etc.

[0151] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal determines that the preset conditions are met, it determines to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode without waiting for instructions from the network device, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.

[0152] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, the terminal determines to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode based on third indication information, and at the same time determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the third indication information.

[0153] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0154] In step S61, a third indication information is received, which is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, and the third indication information is used to configure the configuration information of the second communication mode.

[0155] In step S62, configuration information for the second communication mode is determined based on the third indication information.

[0156] In some embodiments, the third indication information is carried in physical layer signaling or higher layer signaling.

[0157] In some embodiments, the terminal is instructed to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode based on physical layer signaling, and configuration information for the second communication mode is configured based on physical layer signaling.

[0158] In some embodiments, the terminal is instructed to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode based on higher-layer signaling, and configuration information for the second communication mode is configured based on higher-layer signaling.

[0159] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode is determined based on the third indication information. At the same time, the configuration information of the second communication mode is determined based on the third indication information, and then communication is performed based on the configuration information of the second communication mode, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.

[0160] In a communication method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, the third indication information is used to configure the first configuration information of the second communication mode.

[0161] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information, wherein the second configuration information is pre-configured by the network device.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first configuration information is carried in physical layer signaling, and the second configuration information is carried in higher layer signaling.

[0163] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal determines the second configuration information of the second communication mode based on higher layer signaling. When it receives the third indication information sent through physical layer signaling, it determines to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on the third indication information. At the same time, it determines the first configuration information of the second communication mode based on the third indication information, and then communicates based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.

[0164] Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the communication method is performed by the network device and includes the following steps.

[0165] In step S71, the configuration information of the second communication mode of the terminal is determined. The configuration information of the second communication mode is the configuration information used by the terminal after switching from the first communication mode to the second communication mode.

[0166] In some embodiments, switching can also be understood as falling back.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first communication mode is an AI communication mode, and the second communication mode is a non-AI communication mode.

[0168] In some embodiments, AI communication mode can be understood as a processing mode that communicates based on an AI model, while non-AI mode can be understood as a processing mode that does not communicate based on an AI model. For example, in AI communication mode, the terminal can use the AI ​​model for positioning; in non-AI communication mode, the terminal can use traditional algorithms (such as TDOA) for positioning.

[0169] In some embodiments, the configuration information for the second communication mode differs depending on the scenario of the first communication mode.

[0170] For example, the first communication mode is an AI-based positioning scenario, and the configuration information for the second communication mode includes which traditional positioning mode the terminal uses, such as TDOA or Multi-RTT. If it is TDOA, the configuration information includes the reference signal used for positioning and the relevant configuration of the network device used for positioning.

[0171] In another example, the first communication mode is an AI-based beam management scenario, and the configuration information of the second communication mode may include the specific configuration information of the RS and the information fed back by the terminal.

[0172] In this embodiment of the disclosure, configuration information of the second communication mode of the terminal is determined. The configuration information of the second communication mode is the configuration information used by the terminal after switching from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, so that the terminal can communicate based on the configuration information of the second communication mode, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.

[0173] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, configuration information for a second communication mode is determined based on a first rule.

[0174] In some embodiments, the first rule may be defined by a protocol. Optionally, configuration information for the second communication mode is determined based on the protocol definition.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first rule includes at least one of the following:

[0176] The configuration information for the second communication mode is the configuration information for the second communication mode before the terminal enters the first communication mode;

[0177] The configuration information for the second communication mode is the configuration information for the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device.

[0178] In some embodiments, the configuration information for the second communication mode is the configuration information for the second communication mode before the terminal enters the first communication mode.

[0179] For example, taking a positioning scenario, if the second communication mode before the terminal enters the first communication mode is the TDOA algorithm, then the configuration information of the second communication mode includes the reference signal used for positioning and the network device used for positioning. Then, after the network device determines that the terminal has switched from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, the terminal performs positioning based on the reference signal used for positioning under the TDOA algorithm and the network device used for positioning.

[0180] In some embodiments, the configuration information for the second communication mode in the first rule is the configuration information for the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device.

[0181] For example, taking a positioning scenario as an example, if the second communication mode when the terminal accesses the network device is the TDOA algorithm, then the configuration information for the second communication mode includes the reference signal used for positioning and the network device used for positioning. Then, after the network device determines that the terminal has switched from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, it performs positioning based on the reference signal used for positioning under the TDOA algorithm and the network device used for positioning.

[0182] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, a network device determines configuration information for a second communication mode based on first information.

[0183] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0184] Configuration information for a single second communication mode;

[0185] Configuration information for multiple second communication modes.

[0186] In some embodiments, the first information is configuration information for a network device to pre-configure a single second communication mode.

[0187] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device is pre-configured with configuration information for a single second communication mode. When the terminal switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, the terminal can communicate based on the configuration information of the single second communication mode pre-configured by the network device.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first information is configuration information for a network device to pre-configure multiple second communication modes.

[0189] In some embodiments, the configuration information of different second communication modes among the plurality of second communication modes is different.

[0190] In a communication method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, a first indication information is sent, which is used to indicate the configuration information of a second communication mode from the configuration information of a plurality of second communication modes.

[0191] Figure 9This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 9 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0192] In step S81, a first indication message is sent, which is used to indicate the configuration information of a second communication mode from the configuration information of a plurality of second communication modes.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first indication information may be carried in higher-layer signaling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0194] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the first information includes configuration information for multiple second communication modes, a first indication information is sent, and the configuration information for the second communication mode to be used is determined through the first indication information.

[0195] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, when a network device instructs a terminal to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode, the instruction information may be the first instruction information.

[0196] For example, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, and the bit overhead of the first indication information is 2 bits, the first bit is used to instruct the terminal to switch to the second communication mode 1, and the second bit is used to instruct the terminal to switch to the second communication mode 2.

[0197] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the first information pre-configures configuration information for multiple second communication modes, the network device sends a first instruction to instruct the terminal to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, and based on the first instruction, instructs the terminal to determine the configuration information of the second communication mode used by the terminal from the configuration information of multiple second communication modes.

[0198] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, when a network device instructs a terminal to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode, the instruction information may be second instruction information.

[0199] Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 10 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0200] In step S91, a second instruction message is sent, which is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode.

[0201] In some embodiments, the second indication information may be carried in higher-level signaling, such as RRC.

[0202] In a communication method provided in this embodiment, a network device sends a third instruction information to instruct a terminal to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode, and at the same time instructs the terminal to determine the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the third instruction information.

[0203] Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 11 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0204] In step S1001, a third indication message is sent. The third indication message is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode, and the third indication message is used to configure the configuration information of the second communication mode.

[0205] In some embodiments, the third indication information is carried in physical layer signaling or higher layer signaling.

[0206] In some embodiments, the terminal is instructed to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode based on physical layer signaling, and configuration information for the second communication mode is configured based on physical layer signaling.

[0207] In some embodiments, the terminal is instructed to switch from a first communication mode to a second communication mode based on higher-layer signaling, and configuration information for the second communication mode is configured based on higher-layer signaling.

[0208] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal is instructed to switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on the third indication information. At the same time, the terminal is instructed to determine the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the third indication information. Thus, the terminal can communicate based on the configuration information of the second communication mode, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.

[0209] In a communication method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, the third indication information is used to configure the first configuration information of the second communication mode.

[0210] In some embodiments, the network device is pre-configured with second configuration information for a second communication mode.

[0211] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine the configuration information of the second communication mode based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

[0212] In some embodiments, the first configuration information is carried in physical layer signaling, and the second configuration information is carried in higher layer signaling.

[0213] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device configures the second configuration information of the second communication mode for the terminal based on higher-layer signaling. When sending the third indication information, the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal to determine the switch from the first communication mode to the second communication mode. At the same time, the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal to determine the first configuration information of the second communication mode, thereby enabling the terminal to communicate based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information, thereby improving the switching efficiency and the communication performance of the terminal.
