Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a configuration information processing method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, mobile communication networks mainly use cellular architecture to achieve resource reuse. The base station signal of each cell covers a certain geographical area. Usually, the useful signal is weaker and the interference is greater at the cell edge, resulting in a difference in transmission performance between the cell edge and the cell center.

[0003] When terminals switch between cells, it is difficult to guarantee seamless and lossless transmission. In densely deployed cell scenarios, the switching will be more frequent, making it impossible to provide continuous and seamless communication services or guarantee the stability of the service experience.

[0145] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.

[0146] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0147] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0148] This application provides a configuration information processing method and apparatus to achieve a smooth and continuous transition of terminal service quality during cell handover scenarios.

[0149] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0150] To facilitate a full understanding of the technical solution of this application, the following content is hereby introduced:

[0151] As an essential component of mobile communication systems, terminals and network devices use a series of algorithms, such as signal detection and estimation, link adaptation, radio resource management, and handover, to ensure signal quality and continuity during communication. Among these, the various algorithm strategies and parameter settings within the base station play a dominant role, as they are usually the factors affecting the transmission of all user equipment within the entire cell.

[0152] While academic research has mentioned classifying users and setting different RRM (Radio Resource Management) algorithms and thresholds for different categories, the number of users in real-world networks is enormous, potentially two to three orders of magnitude higher than the number of base stations. Network devices have limited storage, computing, and real-time processing capabilities, making individual policy processing for each user too labor-intensive. Furthermore, each base station is deployed independently, and to conserve valuable air interface resources, user-level signal measurements are reported to the dominant base station they connect to. Additionally, the interface bandwidth between base stations is relatively limited, preventing frequent exchange of information about all users and their own resource scheduling. Therefore, existing mobile communication networks can only employ cell-level algorithms and parameter configurations, and base stations typically only exchange cell-level resource scheduling information (load, high interference indication, etc.).

[0153] To improve communication efficiency and equipment processing capabilities while reducing network deployment costs, the network architecture using the configuration information processing method provided in this application can be divided into three layers: CU (Centralized Unit), DU (Distributed Unit), and TRP (Transmission / Receipt Point). Figure 1 As shown.

[0154] A Transmission Pointer (TRP) is a network device used to transmit and receive air interface signals between a terminal and a base station, and it is transparent to the terminal. In a network deployment, a Terminal Utility (DU) can connect to and control multiple TRPs, and a Central Unit (CU) can connect to and control multiple DUs. Simultaneously, the network deployment is denser, reducing the ratio of DUs to terminals by one to two orders of magnitude, and the number of TRPs and terminals can even reach the same order of magnitude, making distributed control more convenient and efficient. CUs can employ cloud technology, resulting in stronger processing capabilities. Connecting to multiple DUs and possessing more comprehensive information provides the material basis for centralized processing across regions and devices.

[0155] In real-world environments, the channel characteristics experienced by the same terminal at stationary and different moving speeds vary significantly. Furthermore, various new services are emerging in the network, such as XR (Extended Reality) and holographic services. Their peak rate, latency, latency jitter, and other QoS (Quality of Service) indicators differ greatly from existing services like VoNR (Voice over New Radio), web browsing, WeChat, and short videos.

[0156] After a terminal accesses a cell, the base station uses the cell-level default values ​​for various algorithms and parameters, including various signal processing algorithms, physical layer control and link adaptation algorithms, resource allocation and scheduling algorithms, etc. These algorithms and parameters also need to be differentiated into different application scenarios based on service quality feedback and signal measurement reports, such as judging the terminal's multi-antenna capability, predicting the terminal's moving speed, and judging whether the scenario is interference-limited or power-limited, in order to optimize service performance in real time and gradually as the environment changes and ensure user experience.

[0157] Even if the terminal adjusts itself according to various adaptive algorithms while connected to the same cell, it must be reset according to the default algorithms and parameters of the new cell once a handover occurs. This adjustment and change is relatively sudden and more drastic than the periodic closed-loop control or adaptive adjustment in the original cell. The signal strength and the gain of various algorithms will change abruptly or fluctuate significantly. At the same time, the radio signals received by the handover terminal and terminals at the edge of the surrounding cells are also prone to jumps. It can be seen that the control algorithms and strategies for terminals in different cells are inconsistent, which can easily cause unstable and discontinuous service quality and unreliable service experience.

[0158] Furthermore, taking power control as an example, after the closed-loop adjustment of the original cell, the performance gradually stabilizes. Once switched to a new cell, a large initial power value is usually set according to the open-loop power control to ensure service continuity, and resources are reallocated in the new cell. For the edge terminals of the original cell, this is a sudden strong interference, which may cause the edge terminals of the original cell to drop calls or experience a drop in speed. Setting it too high will also cause strong interference to edge users.

[0159] Figure 2 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating the configuration information processing method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a configuration information processing method, the execution subject of which can be a first network element, such as a DU, a base station, etc. The method includes:

[0160] Step 210: Based on the description information of the configuration template, obtain the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the services of the target terminal.

[0161] The configuration template is determined based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively; the target information includes at least one of the following: device capability information, environmental awareness information, and service awareness information.

[0162] The target network element is the current access network element of the target terminal and / or the original access network element of the target terminal.

[0163] It should be noted that the configuration template can be determined by the second network element based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively. This target information includes the device capability information, environmental awareness information, and service awareness information of the target terminal and the target network element.

[0164] Equipment capability information includes capabilities that the equipment possesses or supports, such as multi-antenna capabilities and the main algorithms it supports;

[0165] Environmental perception information includes the device's geographical location, channel type, signal strength, signal quality, and interference level of the environment in which the device is located.

[0166] Service-aware information includes service QoS information, current cached data volume of the device, current storage capacity of the device, and current load of the device.

[0167] Algorithm strategies refer to the algorithms and models required to process the services of the target terminal. Algorithms mainly include various physical layer signal detection algorithms, equalization algorithms, and multi-antenna algorithms; MAC (Media Access Control) layer link adaptation algorithms (such as power control), scheduling algorithms, and resource allocation algorithms; and RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer handover algorithms and load balancing algorithms. Models mainly include AI (Artificial Intelligence) models used in communication systems, such as reinforcement learning models, specifically including prediction models (such as channel prediction and traffic prediction) and recommendation models (such as overall optimization of multiple algorithms and parameters to avoid mutual exclusion between algorithms and parameters).

[0168] After receiving the configuration template description, the first network element selects algorithm strategies and parameters for the terminal based on the configuration template and executes these algorithms and parameters to ensure the terminal's service quality. The first network element can perform real-time resource scheduling and closed-loop parameter adjustment based on various feedback information during actual service communication. For example, scheduling algorithms, power control algorithms, and multi-antenna rank (space division multiplexing stream number) adaptive algorithms may adjust the PRBs (Physical Resource Blocks) allocated to users on different channels, as well as the transmit power on each resource block.

[0169] By determining the algorithm strategies and parameters required to process the services of the target terminal based on the device capability information, environmental awareness information, and service awareness information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element, the first network element can set user-level algorithm strategies and key parameters according to the actual situation of the target terminal.

[0170] Based on this, even if a cell handover occurs at the terminal, the first network element only needs to send the description information of the configuration template to the network element newly accessed by the target terminal. This enables the newly accessed network element to process the target terminal's services using the same algorithm strategy and parameters as before the cell handover, thereby enabling the network to continuously adapt to the terminal in a closed-loop manner.

[0171] It should be noted that in the scenario where the target terminal undergoes cell handover, the target network element can be the original access network element of the target terminal. That is, the configuration template is determined based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and its original access network element respectively.

[0172] In scenarios where no cell handover occurs at the target terminal, the target network element can be the target terminal's current access network element. That is, the configuration template is determined based on the target information corresponding to both the target terminal and its current access network element. In this case, determining the configuration template based on the target information corresponding to both the target terminal and its current access network element, and then determining the algorithm strategy and parameters based on this configuration template, allows for a more rational allocation of network resources for terminal service processing. This not only ensures the effective execution of terminal services but also conserves network resources.

[0173] When a cell handover occurs at the target terminal, but the new access cell is the same as or very similar to the original access cell, the target network element can be either the original access network element of the target terminal or the current access network element of the target terminal. That is, the configuration template can be determined based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and its current access network element, or it can be determined based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and its original access network element.

[0174] The configuration information processing method provided in this application obtains the algorithm strategies and parameters required for processing the target terminal's services by using the description information based on the configuration template. This enables the network to continuously and adaptively adjust in a closed loop following the terminal, thereby ensuring a smooth and continuous transition of terminal service quality during cell handover scenarios and improving user experience.

[0175] In a network architecture to which the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention is applicable (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown, one CU can connect to and control multiple DUs, and one DU can connect to and control multiple TRPs. For this network architecture, embodiments of the present invention also creatively propose a centralized control mode and a distributed interaction mode for configuration information processing.

[0176] Specifically, in the centralized control mode, information is centrally stored, data is uniformly calculated, and the user-level algorithm strategy and parameters are determined by the second network element. In the distributed interaction mode, configuration information is mainly exchanged between the first network elements.

[0177] The first network element can specifically include any one of DU, base station, or AP (Access Point).

[0178] The second network element can specifically include any one of the following: CU, DU (including DU designated by CU), cloud-based base station, cloud-based control plane node, and OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) network element.

[0179] For flexible deployment, cloud-based base stations or cloud-based control plane nodes can be centrally located in the cloud or at the network edge.

[0180] Considering network backward compatibility, when using the existing OAM as the second network element, in addition to distributing cell-level algorithm policies and parameters to the base station, OAM can also provide user-level algorithm policies and parameters to the base station through enhanced signaling. Specifically, OAM can store user-level algorithm policies and parameters in XML format and distribute them to the base station in XML format.

[0181] Considering the capabilities of network element devices and the flexibility of deployment, a more powerful "large DU" may be used in certain areas to be responsible for the centralized control of other general-capability DUs in the area; in a distributed deployment scenario, a CU may designate a DU to be responsible for the centralized control of DUs in a certain area; furthermore, a CU may designate a DU to centrally control multiple DUs in a certain area to provide user-level algorithm policies and parameter guarantees for some terminals, thus forming a terminal-centric network.

[0182] The technical solution of this application will be further explained below by specifically introducing the centralized control mode and the distributed interaction mode.

[0183] In one embodiment, when the target network element is the original access network element of the target terminal, and the first network element is the current access network element of the target terminal, the description information of the configuration template is obtained in the following way:

[0184] Receive the description information of the configuration template sent by the original access network element.

[0185] In this embodiment, with Figure 1 For example, UE1 is the target terminal, and UE1 switches from the original access network element DU1 to the current access network element (first network element) DU2.

[0186] This scenario corresponds to a distributed interaction mode:

[0187] Before UE1 switches from DU1 to DU2, DU2 receives the description information of the configuration template sent by DU1. The configuration template corresponding to UE1 is determined based on the target information corresponding to UE1 and DU1 respectively.

[0188] After UE1 switches to DU2, DU2 will obtain the algorithm strategies and parameters required to process the services of UE1 based on the configuration template.

[0189] It is understood that in this embodiment, after UE1 switches to DU2, DU2 still processes UE1's service data using the algorithm strategy and parameters determined based on the target information corresponding to UE1 and DU2 respectively. Therefore, a smooth and continuous transition of UE1's service quality can be achieved in the cell handover scenario, thereby ensuring user experience.

[0190] In one embodiment, when the target network element is the original access network element of the target terminal, and the first network element is the current access network element of the target terminal, the description information of the configuration template is obtained in the following way:

[0191] Receive the description information of the configuration template sent by the second network element.

[0192] In this embodiment, with Figure 1 For example, UE1 is the target terminal. UE1 switches from the original access network element DU1 to the current access network element (first network element) DU2, and the second network element is CU.

[0193] This scenario corresponds to a centralized control mode:

[0194] Before UE1 switches from DU1 to DU2, DU2 receives the configuration template description information sent by CU. The configuration template corresponding to UE1 is determined based on the target information corresponding to UE1 and DU1 respectively.

[0195] After UE1 switches to DU2, DU2 will obtain the algorithm strategies and parameters required to process the services of UE1 based on the configuration template.

[0196] It is understood that in this embodiment, after UE1 switches to DU2, DU2 still processes UE1's service data using the algorithm strategy and parameters determined based on the target information corresponding to UE1 and DU2 respectively. Therefore, a smooth and continuous transition of UE1's service quality can be achieved in the cell handover scenario, thereby ensuring user experience.

[0197] In one embodiment, when the first network element is the target network element and the target network element is the original access network element of the target terminal, the description information of the configuration template is obtained in the following way:

[0198] Receive the description information of the configuration template sent by the second network element.

[0199] In this embodiment, with Figure 1 For example, UE1 is the target terminal. UE1 switches from the original access network element DU1 (the first network element) to the current access network element DU2, and the second network element is CU.

[0200] This scenario corresponds to either a centralized control mode or a distributed interaction mode:

[0201] Before UE1 switches from DU1 to DU2, DU1 receives a description of the configuration template sent by CU. The configuration template for UE1 is determined based on the target information corresponding to UE1 and DU1 respectively.

[0202] Before UE1 switches to DU2, DU1 will obtain the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process UE1's services based on the configuration template, and process UE1's service data according to the algorithm strategy and parameters, thereby allocating reasonable resources for UE1's service processing and ensuring the effective operation of terminal services.

[0203] Furthermore, based on this embodiment, the configuration information processing method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0204] Send the configuration template description information to the existing access network element of the target terminal.

[0205] This scenario corresponds to a distributed interaction mode:

[0206] If DU1 determines that UE1 needs to switch to DU2, DU1 will send the description information of the configuration template to DU2 before UE1 switches to DU2, so that after UE1 switches to DU2, DU2 can obtain the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process UE1's services based on the configuration template.

[0207] It is understood that in this embodiment, after UE1 switches to DU2, DU2 still processes UE1's service data using the algorithm strategy and parameters determined based on the target information corresponding to UE1 and DU2 respectively. Therefore, a smooth and continuous transition of UE1's service quality can be achieved in the cell handover scenario, thereby ensuring user experience.

[0208] In one embodiment, the description information of the configuration template may include any of the following:

[0209] User-level configuration template profile;

[0210] The index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile.

[0211] A Profile is a configuration file that describes how to use the device's hardware and software resources. The format of a Profile can be specified or standardized by the operator or equipment manufacturer. It mainly includes the corresponding terminal and network element identifiers, as well as the various algorithm strategies and parameters determined by the network element for processing the terminal's service data, timestamps, etc.

[0212] User-level configuration templates (profiles) can be shown in Table 1 or Table 2 below:

[0213] Table 1 Example 1 of User-Level Configuration Template (profile)

[0214]

[0215] Table 2 User-level configuration template profile example 2

[0216]

[0217]

[0218] Optionally, an index can be set for each user-level configuration template profile, and the description information of the configuration template can include the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile.

[0219] In one embodiment, when the description information of the configuration template includes a user-level configuration template profile, the algorithm strategy and parameters required for processing the target terminal's services are obtained based on the description information of the configuration template, including: obtaining the algorithm strategy and parameters included in the user-level configuration template profile;

[0220] If the description information of the configuration template includes the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile, the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the target terminal's business are obtained based on the description information of the configuration template, including: obtaining the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the index in the configuration set based on the index, and obtaining the algorithm strategy and parameters included in the user-level configuration template profile.

[0221] It is understandable that when the description information of the configuration template includes a user-level configuration template profile, the first network element can directly extract the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the target terminal's services from the user-level configuration template profile after receiving the description information of the configuration template, and process the target terminal's service data based on the algorithm strategy and parameters.

[0222] When the description information of the configuration template includes the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile, after receiving the description information of the configuration template, the first network element can obtain the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the index in the configuration set based on the index, extract the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the service of the target terminal from the user-level configuration template profile, and then process the service data of the target terminal based on the algorithm strategy and parameters.

[0223] The configuration set can include multiple user-level configuration templates (profiles) and the index corresponding to each user-level configuration template (profile).

[0224] Understandably, when the configuration template description includes a user-level configuration template profile, although the communication cost of sending the user-level configuration template profile is slightly higher, the first network element can save the resource overhead of storing and updating the configuration set. When the configuration template description includes the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile, although the first network element needs to spend some resources on storing and updating the configuration set, it can save the communication cost of sending the user-level configuration template profile, thus improving communication efficiency.

[0225] In one embodiment, the configuration set can be obtained as follows:

[0226] Receive the configuration set sent by the second network element; each element in the configuration set includes the terminal identifier, the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the terminal, and the index corresponding to the configuration template profile; the user-level configuration template profile includes the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the terminal's services.

[0227] For example, when the second network element is a CU, the CU obtains and stores the target information corresponding to all its subordinate DUs and terminals, obtains the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to each terminal, and sets an index for each user-level configuration template profile to generate a configuration set.

[0228] Subsequently, the CU will send the configuration set to each DU under the CU.

[0229] Each DU can receive the configuration set sent by the CU.

[0230] Each element in the configuration set may include the terminal identifier, the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the terminal, and the index corresponding to the configuration template profile.

[0231] For example, a configuration set can be represented as a list, and each configuration item in the list can be an element of the configuration set. Each configuration item can include the terminal identifier, the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the terminal, and the index corresponding to the configuration template profile.

[0232] In one embodiment, receiving the description information of the configuration template may include:

[0233] Based on event triggering, receive description information of the configuration template.

[0234] It is understandable that when the target terminal needs to perform cell handover, i.e., when the A3 event or A5 event is triggered, or when the target terminal needs to connect to a new DU, it will involve the CU sending configuration template description information to the DU, or the DU transmitting configuration template description information between DUs, so as to ensure a smooth and continuous transition of terminal service quality in cell handover scenarios.

[0235] It should be noted that when events such as A3 and A5 are triggered, the DU will send corresponding measurement reports to the CU, such as RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) reports and RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality) reports.

[0236] After receiving the corresponding measurement report, the CU will send the configuration template description information to the DU, or trigger the transmission of the configuration template description information between the DUs.

[0237] Figure 3 This is a second flowchart illustrating the configuration information processing method provided in this application embodiment; as follows: Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a configuration information processing method, the execution subject of which can be a second network element, such as a DU, a base station, etc. The method includes:

[0238] Step 310: Based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element, determine the configuration template; the configuration template is used to obtain the algorithm strategies and parameters required to process the services of the target terminal;

[0239] Step 320: Send the description information of the configuration template to the first network element;

[0240] The target information includes at least one of the following: equipment capability information, environmental awareness information, and service awareness information; the target network element is the current access network element of the target terminal and / or the original access network element of the target terminal.

[0241] The first network element is the network element that establishes a connection with the target terminal.

[0242] In step 310, the second network element can obtain the target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively, and then determine the configuration template based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively.

[0243] The target information includes the device capability information, environmental awareness information, and service awareness information of the target terminal and target network elements.

[0244] Equipment capability information includes capabilities that the equipment possesses or supports, such as multi-antenna capabilities and the main algorithms it supports;

[0245] Environmental perception information includes the device's geographical location, channel type, signal strength, signal quality, and interference level of the environment in which the device is located.

[0246] Service-aware information includes service QoS information, current cached data volume of the device, current storage capacity of the device, and current load of the device.

[0247] Algorithm strategies refer to the algorithms and models required to process the services of the target terminal. Algorithms mainly include various physical layer signal detection algorithms, equalization algorithms, and multi-antenna algorithms; MAC (Media Access Control) layer link adaptation algorithms (such as power control), scheduling algorithms, and resource allocation algorithms; and RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer handover algorithms and load balancing algorithms. Models mainly include AI (Artificial Intelligence) models used in communication systems, such as reinforcement learning models, specifically including prediction models (such as channel prediction and traffic prediction) and recommendation models (such as overall optimization of multiple algorithms and parameters to avoid mutual exclusion between algorithms and parameters).

[0248] In step 320, the second network element can send the description information of the configuration template to the first network element.

[0249] It should be noted that after the first network element receives the description information of the configuration template sent by the second network element, it can obtain the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the service of the target terminal based on the description information of the configuration template, and process the service data of the target terminal based on the algorithm strategy and parameters.

[0250] By determining the algorithm strategies and parameters required to process the services of the target terminal based on the device capability information, environmental awareness information, and service awareness information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element, the first network element can set user-level algorithm strategies and key parameters according to the actual situation of the target terminal.

[0251] Based on this, even if a cell handover occurs at the terminal, the second or first network element only needs to send the description information of the configuration template to the network element newly accessed by the target terminal. This enables the newly accessed network element to process the target terminal's services using the same algorithm strategy and parameters as before the cell handover, thereby enabling the network to continuously adapt to the terminal in a closed-loop manner.

[0252] It should be noted that in the scenario where the target terminal undergoes cell handover, the target network element can be the original access network element of the target terminal. That is, the configuration template is determined based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and its original access network element respectively.

[0253] In scenarios where no cell handover occurs at the target terminal, the target network element can be the target terminal's current access network element. That is, the second network element determines the configuration template based on the target information corresponding to both the target terminal and its current access network element. In this case, determining the configuration template based on the target information corresponding to both the target terminal and its current access network element, and then determining the algorithm strategy and parameters based on this configuration template, allows for a more rational allocation of network resources for terminal service processing. This not only ensures the effective execution of terminal services but also conserves network resources.

[0254] When a cell handover occurs at the target terminal, but the new access cell is the same as or very similar to the original access cell, the target network element can be either the original access network element of the target terminal or the current access network element of the target terminal. That is, the second network element determines the configuration template based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and its current access network element, or it determines the configuration template based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and its original access network element.

[0255] The configuration information processing method provided in this application obtains the algorithm strategies and parameters required for processing the target terminal's services by using the description information based on the configuration template. This enables the network to continuously adjust in a closed loop following the terminal, thereby ensuring a smooth and continuous transition of terminal service quality during cell handover scenarios and improving user experience.

[0256] It should be noted that the first network element can specifically include any one of DU, base station, or AP (Access Point).

[0257] The second network element can specifically include any one of the following: CU, DU (including DU designated by CU), cloud base station, cloud control plane node, and OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) network element.

[0258] For flexible deployment, cloud-based base stations or cloud-based control plane nodes can be centrally located in the cloud or at the network edge.

[0259] Considering network backward compatibility, when using the existing OAM as the second network element, in addition to distributing cell-level algorithm policies and parameters to the base station, OAM can also provide user-level algorithm policies and parameters to the base station through enhanced signaling. Specifically, OAM can store user-level algorithm policies and parameters in XML format and distribute them to the base station in XML format.

[0260] In a network architecture to which the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention is applicable (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown, a CU can connect to and control multiple DUs, and a DU can connect to and control multiple TRPs. In this network architecture, the first network element can be a DU, and the second network element can be a CU.

[0261] In one embodiment, the description information of the configuration template includes any of the following:

[0262] User-level configuration template profile;

[0263] The index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile.

[0264] A Profile is a configuration file that describes how to use the device's hardware and software resources. The format of a Profile can be specified or standardized by the operator or equipment manufacturer. It mainly includes the corresponding terminal and network element identifiers, as well as the various algorithm strategies and parameters determined by the network element for processing the terminal's service data, timestamps, etc.

[0265] User-level configuration templates (profiles) can be shown in Table 1 or Table 2 below:

[0266] Table 1 Example 1 of User-Level Configuration Template (profile)

[0267]

[0268] Table 2 User-level configuration template profile example 2

[0269]

[0270]

[0271] Optionally, an index can be set for each user-level configuration template profile, and the description information of the configuration template can include the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile.

[0272] In one embodiment, where the description information of the configuration template includes the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile, the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention may further include:

[0273] Send the configuration set to the first network element;

[0274] The configuration set includes the terminal identifier, the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the terminal, and the index corresponding to the configuration template profile. The user-level configuration template profile includes the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the business of the target terminal.

[0275] For example, when the second network element is a CU, the CU can obtain target information from its subordinate DU, TRP, and terminal devices. The sources of target information include device self-reporting during device deployment or connection establishment, information exchange between devices during operation, core network signaling issuance, and real-time measurement reporting by devices during connection.

[0276] The CU stores target information by establishing a database, classifying and storing information for all subordinate devices, and using different information formats according to the content and purpose of the information. The information in the database can be updated periodically by time triggering or by event triggering updates. For example, after a new terminal connection is established, the terminal should be created in the database. When the terminal communication ends and the connection is released, the terminal information should be deleted from the database. When a terminal undergoes a handover, the cell information associated with the terminal should be updated. When the device is in energy-saving mode, the resource availability information should be updated accordingly.

[0277] The CU also stores all algorithm strategies and parameters that the DU might use, and saves the target for each DU and terminal. Based on the terminal's real-time information (environmental awareness information, service awareness information), the CU can calculate and determine the scenario in which the terminal is located. For example, it can infer the distance between the terminal and the DU based on the wireless signal strength, and determine the terminal's moving speed based on changes in signal strength. Typically, based on engineering experience, algorithms suitable for different scenarios can be inferred from device capability information, environmental awareness information, and service awareness information. Therefore, the CU can refer to the above engineering experience and the scenarios inferred from the calculations to pre-set certain rules, determine the algorithm model, and calculate the parameter results output by the algorithm based on the target information of the terminal and DU. Thus, various algorithm strategies and parameters are determined, and user-level configuration templates (profiles) are generated for each terminal.

[0278] It should be noted that resource allocation may include inter-cell time-frequency resource block allocation, orthogonal pilot resource allocation, beam allocation, massive MIMO, multi-user clustering, and wireless network virtualization resource pool allocation. The optimal solution typically belongs to NP-hard combinatorial optimization, with computational complexity increasing exponentially with system size. Traditional computational methods statically partition such problems, obtaining suboptimal solutions with relatively low computational cost. Future networks will more widely adopt AI technology, providing other possible technical approaches for resource allocation, such as deep recommendation systems. This requires global information and strong computing power, while CU can perform such calculations and generate suitable algorithm strategies and models.

[0279] After the CU generates the user-level configuration template profile, it will promptly send it to the DU for execution. The CU can also coordinate resource configuration among DUs based on the device capability information, environmental awareness information, and load information of its subordinate devices, such as PCI allocation, IP address allocation, resource staggering at the cell edge, and handover resource reservation.

[0280] Furthermore, CU can also set indexes for each user-level configuration template profile to generate configuration sets.

[0281] Subsequently, the CU will send the configuration set to each DU (first network element) under the CU.

[0282] Each DU can receive the configuration set sent by the CU.

[0283] Each element in the configuration set may include the terminal identifier, the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the terminal, and the index corresponding to the configuration template profile.

[0284] For example, a configuration set can be represented as a list, and each configuration item in the list can be an element of the configuration set. Each configuration item can include the terminal identifier, the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the terminal, and the index corresponding to the configuration template profile.

[0285] It is understandable that when the description information of the configuration template includes a user-level configuration template profile, the first network element can directly extract the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the target terminal's services from the user-level configuration template profile after receiving the description information of the configuration template, and process the target terminal's service data based on the algorithm strategy and parameters.

[0286] When the description information of the configuration template includes the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile, after receiving the description information of the configuration template, the first network element can obtain the user-level configuration template profile corresponding to the index in the configuration set based on the index, extract the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the service of the target terminal from the user-level configuration template profile, and then process the service data of the target terminal based on the algorithm strategy and parameters.

[0287] Understandably, when the configuration template description includes a user-level configuration template profile, although the communication cost of sending the user-level configuration template profile is slightly higher, the first network element can save the resource overhead of storing and updating the configuration set. When the configuration template description includes the index corresponding to the user-level configuration template profile, although the first network element needs to spend some resources on storing and updating the configuration set, it can save the communication cost of sending the user-level configuration template profile, thus improving communication efficiency.

[0288] In one embodiment, step 320 may include:

[0289] Based on event triggering, the description information of the target terminal's configuration template is sent to the first network element.

[0290] It is understandable that when the target terminal needs to perform cell handover, i.e., when the A3 event or A5 event is triggered, or when the target terminal needs to connect to a new DU, the CU will send the configuration template description information to the DU to ensure a smooth and continuous transition of terminal service quality in cell handover scenarios.

[0291] It should be noted that when events such as A3 and A5 are triggered, the DU will send corresponding measurement reports to the CU, such as RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) reports and RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality) reports.

[0292] After receiving the corresponding measurement report, the CU will send the configuration template description information to the DU, or trigger the transmission of the configuration template description information between the DUs.

[0293] In one embodiment, prior to step 320, the configuration information processing method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0294] Upon obtaining the first update information of the target terminal's target information, the configuration template is updated based on the first update information;

[0295] Upon obtaining the second update information of the target network element's target information, the configuration template is updated based on the second update information.

[0296] It should be noted that during communication among devices under the CU, when services or the environment change, each device will trigger measurement reporting for various connection states, such as service-aware information (cache data volume) and environment-aware information (RSCP / RSCQ, etc.). When this information is uploaded to the CU, it will trigger the CU to perform resource configuration-related calculations and redetermine the configuration template. The aforementioned connection changes include service establishment and release, and cross-regional or cross-device mobile handover.

[0297] Specifically, after receiving measurement reports from subordinate devices, the CU will determine the first update information of the terminal's target information and / or the second update information of the DU's target information based on the measurement report information, and update the configuration template based on the first update information and / or the second update information.

[0298] After the CU updates the configuration template, it will send it to the corresponding DU to execute the updated configuration template; or, after updating the configuration template, it will first determine whether the updated configuration template has significant changes compared to the previous configuration template (e.g., the type of a certain algorithm strategy has changed, the change value of a certain parameter is greater than the threshold, etc.). If so, it will be sent to the corresponding DU for execution in a timely manner.

[0299] The configuration information processing method provided in this application can dynamically update the algorithm strategies and parameters required for processing the services of the target terminal by updating the configuration template based on the target information before issuing the configuration template, thereby improving the service quality of the terminal.

[0300] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second network element may include:

[0301] The database is used to store target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively;

[0302] The strategy calculation unit has built-in various algorithms and models, as well as some engineering experience rules, to determine the configuration template based on the target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively;

[0303] The data processing unit is used to acquire target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively, and to clean, classify and summarize the target information corresponding to the target terminal and the target network element respectively.

[0304] The protocol processing unit is used to process mobile communication system access network protocol functions.

[0305] The interface processing unit is used to process the interfaces between the second network element and various network entities in the core network.

[0306] The following are several examples of applying the configuration information processing method provided in the embodiments of this application:

[0307] Example 1 (Terminal does not switch cells):

[0308] like Figure 5 As shown, this example includes the following steps:

[0309] Step 510: DU1 (first network element) sends the target information of DU1 (first network element) and UE (target terminal) to CU (second network element). Optionally, CU can also obtain the target information of UE from the core network.

[0310] Step 520: The CU creates an entry for the UE in the database, and saves the obtained DU1 and the target information of the UE into the database after preprocessing.

[0311] Step 530: CU policy calculation is triggered. The CU policy calculation module retrieves the target information of DU1 and UE from the database and generates the UE profile based on the target information of DU1 and UE.

[0312] Step 540: The CU sends the UE's profile to the DU1;

[0313] Step 550: DU processes the UE's service data based on the UE's profile.

[0314] It should be noted that the specific implementation methods of the above steps can be referred to the above method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0315] Example 2 (Terminal cell handover, distributed interaction mode):

[0316] like Figure 6 As shown, this example includes the following steps:

[0317] Step 610: The target terminal UE performs frequency point measurement according to the network configuration, including RSRP and / or RSRQ information; and the RSRP and / or RSRQ information meets the conditions to trigger the A3 event reporting;

[0318] Step 620: After receiving the RSRP and / or RSRQ measurement reports, DU1 (the original access network element of the target terminal) determines whether the handover conditions are met based on the signal strength of the local area and neighboring areas in the reported content.

[0319] Step 630: DU1 determines that DU2 (the current access network element) meets the handover conditions, notifies DU2 to prepare for handover, and sends the UE's profile to DU2 at the same time.

[0320] Step 640: DU2 determines the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the UE's services based on the profile provided by DU1; optionally, DU2 can also recalculate the parameters by combining the user information in the cell to determine the resource configuration information for the UE and prepare for handover.

[0321] Step 650: DU1 notifies the UE to switch to DU2. The handover command carries information such as the channel resources prepared by DU2 for the UE.

[0322] Step 660: After the UE switches to DU2, DU2 processes the UE's service data according to the determined algorithm strategy and parameters.

[0323] It should be noted that the specific implementation methods of the above steps can be referred to the above method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0324] Example 3 (Terminal cell handover, centralized control mode):

[0326] Step 710: The target terminal UE performs frequency point measurement according to the network configuration, including RSRP and / or RSRQ information; and the RSRP and / or RSRQ information triggers the A3 event reporting when the conditions are met.

[0327] Step 720: DU1 (original access network element) sends RSRP and / or RSRQ measurement reports to CU (second network element);

[0328] Step 730: After receiving the RSRP and / or RSRQ measurement reports, the CU determines whether the handover conditions are met based on the signal strength of the local and neighboring cells in the reported content.

[0329] Step 740: The CU determines that DU2 (the current access network element) meets the handover conditions, notifies DU2 to prepare for handover, and sends the UE's profile to DU2 at the same time.

[0330] Step 750: DU2 determines the algorithm strategy and parameters required to process the UE's services based on the profile provided by CU; optionally, DU2 can also recalculate the parameters by combining the user information in the cell to determine the resource configuration information for the UE and prepare for handover.

[0331] Step 760: DU1 notifies the UE to switch to DU2. The handover command carries information such as the channel resources prepared by DU2 for the UE.

[0332] Step 770: DU2 processes the UE's service data according to the determined algorithm strategy and parameters.
