Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a model recognition method, communication equipment, network equipment, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI / ML models are used to improve the performance of communication systems. AI / ML models may be unilateral models, that is, the model is deployed only on one side, such as the network (NW) side or the terminal (UE) side; or bilateral models, that is, the model is deployed on the network side and the UE side, requiring cooperation between the two sides for complete reasoning.

[0003] The unilateral model deployed on the UE side, or the part of the bilateral model that belongs to the UE side, may be trained and generated by the UE manufacturer, chip manufacturer or third-party service provider, and is unknown to the network side. In order to enable the UE side and the network side to collaborate on the AI / ML model, so that the network side can manage the UE model or assist the UE in managing its own model, the UE or third-party server needs to send relevant information of the AI / ML model to the network side.

[0004] However, there is currently no solution for the network side to manage the model identification of the UE or the third-party server. If the UE or the third-party server continuously initiates model identification to the network side, the complexity of the network side may increase infinitely. Summary of the invention

[0093] With the development of AI and ML, AI / ML models are used to improve the performance of communication systems, and the working methods based on AI / ML models are also studied in related technologies. AI / ML models may be unilateral models, that is, the model is deployed only on one side, such as the network side or the UE side; or bilateral models, that is, the model is deployed on the network side and the UE side, and cooperation between the two sides is required for complete reasoning.

[0094] The unilateral model deployed on the UE side, or the part of the bilateral model that belongs to the UE side, may be trained and generated by the UE manufacturer, chip manufacturer or third-party service provider, and is unknown to the network side. In order to enable the UE side and the network side to collaborate on the AI / ML model, so that the network side can perform life cycle management (LCM) of the UE model, or let the network side assist the UE in managing its own model, the UE or third-party (Over The Top, OTT) server (Server) needs to send relevant information of the AI / ML model to the network side, so that the network side can identify which models or models with which functions the UE or OTT Server supports. The related steps are called Model Identification, sometimes also called Model Registration.

[0095] Currently, New Radio (NR) does not support model recognition for AI / ML models on the UE side. The latest discussion progress only discusses model recognition based on non-air signaling (without over-the-air signaling) or via over-the-air signaling. There is no clear solution on how network devices should manage model recognition.

[0096] If the model identification of UE or OTT Server is not managed, the following problems may occur:

[0097] ① Complexity issue. The network equipment has limited ability to process or manage the UE or OTT Server model. If the UE or OTT Server continuously initiates model recognition to the network equipment, the complexity of the network equipment side may increase infinitely.

[0098] ② Redundant identification. When UE or OTT Server initiates model identification to a network device, it usually means that UE or OTT Server needs to send model-related meta information, model description information, or model functionality information to the network device so that the network device can determine the function of the AI / ML model, or the input and output of the model, etc. The amount of meta information, model description information, or model functionality information may be large. In addition, if multiple UE or OTT Servers support the same model, but all initiate identification of the model to the network device, the same information is transmitted repeatedly, and the network device performs redundant identification, wasting transmission resources.

[0099] In response to the above-mentioned problems existing in the related technologies, the embodiments of the present application provide a model recognition method, communication equipment, network equipment, apparatus and storage medium. After receiving the first information sent by the network equipment, the communication equipment sends the first model recognition request information for requesting the recognition of the target model to the network equipment, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network equipment.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0101] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applicable to a variety of systems, especially 5G system, 5G Advanced system, 6G system and their evolution system. For example, the applicable system can be a global system of mobile communication (Global System of Mobile Communication, GSM) system, code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA) system, wideband code division multiple access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) general packet radio service (Aeneral Packet Radio Service, GPRS) system, long-term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system, LTE frequency division duplex (Frequency Division Duplex, FDD) system, LTE time division duplex (Time Division Duplex, TDD) system, advanced long-term evolution (Long Term Evolution Advanced, LTE-A) system, universal mobile system (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, UMTS), global interconnection microwave access (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX) system, 5G new air interface (NewRadio, NR) system, etc. These various systems include terminal equipment and network equipment. The system may also include core network parts, such as the Evolved Packet System (EPS), 5G System (5GS), etc.

[0102] The terminal device involved in the embodiment of the present application may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with a wireless connection function, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device may be called a user equipment (UE). The wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (CN) via a radio access network (RAN). The wireless terminal device can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it can be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges language and / or data with a wireless access network. For example, personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDA) and other devices. The wireless terminal device may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit (Subscriber Unit), a subscriber station (Subscriber Station), a mobile station (MobileStation), a mobile station (Mobile), a remote station (Remote Station), an access point (Access Point), a remote terminal device (Remote Terminal), an access terminal device (Access Terminal), a user terminal device (User Terminal), a user agent (User Agent), and a user device (User Device), but is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0103] The network device involved in the embodiment of the present application may be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services for the terminal. Depending on the specific application scenario, the base station may also be called an access point, or may be a device in the access network that communicates with the wireless terminal device through one or more sectors on the air interface, or other names. The network device may be used to interchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, and serve as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, wherein the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device may also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a network device (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in the Global System for Mobile Communications (Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA), or a network device (NodeB) in Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), or an evolved network device (Evolutional Node B, eNB or e-NodeB) in the Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in the 5G network architecture (Next Generation System), or a Home evolved Node B (Home evolved Node B, HeNB), a relay node (RelayNode), a home base station (Femto), a pico base station (Pico), etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In some network structures, the network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be arranged geographically separately.

[0104] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0105] The model recognition method provided in this application is applicable to systems that require AI / ML model recognition, one of which is a 5G NR system, including network equipment and terminal equipment.

[0106] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple UEs including UE1 and UE2 apply for wireless network connection services; gNB provides wireless services for UE. Data is exchanged and transmitted between gNB and UE1 and UE2 through wireless communication. In addition, OTT Server and gNB are connected and exchange information through wired mode, or OTT Server exchanges information with gNB through UE.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, entity A initiates (or performs) model identification to entity B (for example, UE initiates model identification to a network device), or entity B identifies the model of entity A, which means that entity A sends relevant information of entity A's model to entity B, such as model description information, model meta information, model function information, etc., so that entity B and entity A have a consistent understanding of the model, including but not limited to understanding the model's function, applicable scenarios, required configuration, expected performance, model input, and model output, etc. Entity A does not necessarily send the model itself to entity B.

[0108] Figure 2 is a flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the execution subject of the method is a communication device, including but not limited to a UE or an OTT Server or other entities that want to initiate model recognition to a network device. The following embodiment is described by taking a UE as an example. The method includes at least the following steps:

[0109] Step 201: Send first model identification request information to a network device according to first information sent by the network device.

[0110] The first model recognition request information is used to request recognition of the target model.

[0111] Specifically, after receiving the first information sent by the network device, the UE can send the first model identification request information for requesting identification of the target model to the network device. The first information is used to notify the UE that the model identification can be initiated to the network device.

[0112] Optionally, the first information is unicast information, such as inquiry information. Optionally, the inquiry information is used to inquire whether the UE needs to perform model identification.

[0113] Optionally, the first information is broadcast information. Optionally, the broadcast information includes relevant information for broadcasting permission for model identification. For example, the network device broadcasts information that allows model identification, and the UE can request the network device to perform model identification. For example, the UE broadcasts information that does not allow model identification, and the UE cannot request the network device to perform model identification. Broadcast information, such as System Information Block (SIB) information, such as SIB1, SIB2,... UEs in the cell covered by the network device can receive the broadcast information.

[0114] Compared with unicast information, broadcast information saves the signaling indication overhead of unicast information at the expense of the payload in the broadcast information.

[0115] The target model can be the full set of models that the UE wants to model identify, or a subset of the full set of models that the UE wants to model identify. The target model refers to a specific AI / ML model or a specified AI / ML model. The full set of models that the UE wants to model identify can be all models that the UE can support.

[0116] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device sends the first model recognition request information for requesting the recognition of the target model to the network device only after receiving the first information sent by the network device, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device.

[0117] In some embodiments, the target model is one of:

[0118] ① The first model set. The first model set is the full set of AI / ML models that the UE wants to identify. Optionally, after the UE receives the query information or broadcast information sent by the network device, it can directly initiate model identification of the full set of models that it wants to identify.

[0119] ② The second model set. The second model set is the models in the first model set that are not recognized by the network device. Optionally, the UE can only initiate the recognition of the models that are not recognized by the network device. For the models that have been recognized by the network device, the UE does not need to repeatedly initiate model recognition to the network device.

[0120] ③ The third model set. The third model set is the models in the first model set that are permitted by the network device for model recognition. Optionally, the UE can only initiate recognition of models that the network device allows to be recognized. For models that the network device does not allow to be recognized, the UE cannot initiate model recognition to the network device.

[0121] ④ The fourth model set. The fourth model set is the models in the first model set that are not recognized by the network device and are permitted by the network device to perform model recognition. Optionally, the UE can only initiate recognition of models that are not recognized by the network device and are permitted by the network device to recognize. For models that have been recognized by the network device and / or models that the network device does not allow to be recognized, the UE cannot initiate model recognition to the network device.

[0122] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device does not initiate model recognition for a model that has been recognized by the network device, and / or does not initiate model recognition for a model that the network device does not allow model recognition to be performed. This avoids the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoids the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0123] In some embodiments, in step 2011 and step 2012: sending the first model identification request information to the network device includes one of the following:

[0124] ① Receive the information of the identified model sent by the network device, and send the first model identification request information to the network device based on the information of the identified model. If the UE receives the information of the identified model sent by the network device, the target model is the second model set, that is, the UE requests the identification of the second model set in the first model identification request information.

[0125] Optionally, the UE receives information about models that have been identified by the network device, and initiates model identification of one or more models that are not in the set of models that have been identified by the network device.

[0126] ② Receive the model identification permission information sent by the network device, and send the first model identification request information to the network device based on the model identification permission information. If the UE receives the model identification permission information sent by the network device, the target model is the third model set, that is, the UE requests the identification of the second model set in the first model identification request information.

[0127] The model identification permission information includes relevant information that the network device allows model identification or relevant information that the network device does not allow model identification. Optionally, the UE receives the model identification permission information sent by the network device and initiates model identification of one or more models that the network device allows model identification. Optionally, the model that the network device allows model identification to be a model that the network device has not identified.

[0128] ③ Receive the information of the identified model and the model identification permission information sent by the network device, and send the first model identification request information to the network device based on the information of the identified model and the model identification permission information. If the UE receives both the information of the identified model and the model identification permission information sent by the network device, the target model is the fourth model set, that is, the UE requests the identification of the fourth model set in the first model identification request information.

[0129] Optionally, the UE receives the information of the identified model and the model identification permission information sent by the network device, and initiates model identification of one or more models that are not identified by the network device and are permitted by the network device for model identification. Optionally, if the model identification permission information indicates relevant information that model identification is not allowed or the number of models allowed to be identified is 0, the UE often does not receive the information of the model identified by the network device.

[0130] Optionally, the UE only receives the model identification permission information, and does not receive the information of the model that has been identified by the network device, which can effectively protect the privacy of the network device.

[0131] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device does not initiate model recognition for a model that has been recognized by the network device, and / or does not initiate model recognition for a model that the network device does not allow to be recognized, based on the information of the recognized model and / or model recognition permission information sent by the network device. This avoids the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoids the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0132] In some embodiments, the information of the model identified by the network device includes at least one of the following:

[0133] ① A collection of models that the network device has identified. In the information of the models that the network device has identified, one or more models that the network device has identified are directly indicated, which can be specifically indicated in the form of a collection. There may be one or more collections, and different collections can correspond to different model categories, such as different model functions, or different model size ranges.

[0134] ② A list of identifications of models that the network device has identified. In the information of the models that the network device has identified, one or more models that the network device has identified are directly indicated, and can be specifically indicated in the form of a list of identifications of one or more models. The identification can also be an index number, serial number, etc. that can distinguish different models. There may be one or more lists, and different lists can correspond to different model categories, such as different model functions, or different model size ranges.

[0135] For example, a list: List = {model ID#1, model ID#2...}, represents the full set of models that the network device has identified. For example: multiple lists: List#1 = {model ID#1_1, Model ID#1_2...}, List#2 = {model ID#2_1, model ID#2_2...}, where List#1 represents a list of models used for Channel State Information (CSI) compressed feedback, and List#2 represents a list of models used for Beam Management (BM).

[0136] ③ The maximum value of the identification of the model recognized by the network device (for example, max model ID). If the identification of the model recognized by the network device is continuously increasing according to a certain rule, such as model 0, model 1, model 2, and another example is model A, model B, model C. The increasing rule can be, for example, increasing in the order of recognition, or increasing in the order of model version update, etc. In the information of the model recognized by the network device, the maximum value of the identification of the model recognized by the network device is indicated. According to the maximum value of the identification of the model recognized by the network device, such as "2" or "C", the UE can determine that any model with a model identification less than or equal to the maximum value of the identification has been recognized by the network device. In this case, the UE only needs to initiate the recognition of the model with a model identification greater than the maximum value to the network device.

[0137] ④ The number of models recognized by the network device. Similarly, if the identification of the models recognized by the network device is continuously increased according to certain rules, such as the order of identification, the order of model version update, etc., the number of models recognized by the network device is indicated in the information of the models recognized by the network device. Based on the number of models recognized by the network device, the UE can determine the identification set and / or the maximum identification value of the models recognized by the network device, and it only needs to initiate the identification of the model whose identification is not in the identification set and / or is greater than the maximum identification value to the network device.

[0138] ⑤ A combination of an identification area of ​​a model that has been identified by the network device and the maximum identification value in the identification area, and different identification areas are used to classify the models that have been identified by the network device. Different identification areas may correspond to different model categories, such as different model functions or different model size ranges. If within an identification area, the identification of the model that has been identified by the network device increases continuously over time, the information of the model that has been identified by the network device indicates a combination of an identification area that has been identified by the network device and the maximum identification value in the identification area. There may be one or more area identifications.

[0139] For example, the max model ID#3 in ID area #1 and the max model ID#5 in ID area #2. Then, for models with IDs less than or equal to 3 in ID area #1, the UE will no longer initiate model identification; for models with IDs less than or equal to 5 in ID area #2, the UE will no longer initiate model identification.

[0140] It should be noted that replacing the identification area with an identification set, an identification list, etc. is also applicable. Different identification areas, identification sets, identification lists, etc. are mainly used to classify models. There can be many bases for classifying models, such as classification by model function, model size range, etc. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0141] The UE can determine the identification areas identified by the network device and the models in each identification area based on the combination of the identification areas identified by the network device and the identification maximum value in the identification areas, and no longer initiates model identification of these models.

[0142] ⑥ The identification area of ​​the model recognized by the network device and the number of models in the identification area. If within an identification area, the identification of the model recognized by the network device is continuously increasing according to certain rules, such as increasing over time, the order of recognition, and the order of model version update, the identification area recognized by the network device and the number of models in the identification area are indicated in the information of the model recognized by the network device. The UE can determine the identification area of ​​the model recognized by the network device, as well as the identification set and / or identification maximum value of the model in the identification area.

[0143] Optionally, if the UE sends a request message for requesting identification of one or more models to the network device before receiving the information of the model that has been identified by the network device, the information of the model that has been identified by the network device received by the UE may only include relevant information of the models that have been identified by the network device in the identification area where these models are located. For example, if the models that the UE requests model identification all belong to ID area #1, the information of the model that has been identified by the network device received by the UE only includes the combination of the maximum value of the identification or the number of models in ID area #1, and does not include relevant information of ID area #2.

[0144] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device only initiates model recognition for models that have not been recognized by the network device based on the information of the recognized models sent by the network device, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoiding the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0145] In some embodiments, the model identifies the permission information, including at least one of the following:

[0146] ① The first indication information that the network device permits model identification. The first indication information may be an overall indication, indicating that model identification is allowed, or indicating that model identification is not allowed. Optionally, it indicates that all models that the UE wants to identify can be identified, or it indicates that all models that the UE wants to identify cannot be identified.

[0147] ② The second indication information of the number of models that the network device permits to perform model recognition. The model recognition permission information may indicate the number of models that are allowed to perform model recognition. For example, the network device also allows the recognition of 3 models. When the number of models that the network device permits to perform model recognition is 0, it indicates that the network device does not allow model recognition. There may also be multiple numbers of models that are allowed to perform model recognition, and different numbers of models correspond to different model categories, indicating how many models of different categories of models are still allowed to perform model recognition.

[0148] ③ The third indication information of the model identification that the network device permits to perform model recognition. Of the full set of models that the UE wants to recognize, often only part of them may be allowed to be recognized by the network device. If the UE first sends a request for model recognition of certain models, the model recognition permission information fed back by the network device can accurately indicate the models that are allowed to perform model recognition, such as indicating the identification of the models that are allowed to perform model recognition. For example, the terminal requests to perform recognition of models 1, 2, 3, and 4. In the model recognition permission information, only the recognition of models 3 and 4 is allowed. There are other ways for the model recognition permission information to indicate the models that are allowed to perform model recognition, such as indicating the categories of models that are allowed to perform model recognition (including model functions, model size ranges, etc.).

[0149] ④ Fourth indication information of the identification area where the network device is permitted to perform model recognition. The model recognition permission information may indicate the identification area where model recognition is permitted or the identification area where model recognition is not permitted.

[0150] ⑤ The fifth indication information of the identification area where the network device is permitted to perform model recognition and the number of models permitted to perform model recognition in the identification area. The model permission information can indicate the identification area where model recognition is allowed or not allowed and the number of models. For example, the network device permits the recognition of 2 models in the ID area #1, the recognition of 3 models in the ID area #2, and the recognition of 0 models in the ID area #3.

[0151] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device initiates model recognition only for the models that the network device allows to be recognized based on the model recognition permission information sent by the network device, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoiding the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0152] In some embodiments, the information of the model identified by the network device is included in the first information. The first information is, for example, unicast inquiry information or broadcast information. Alternatively, the UE receives the information of the model identified by the network device through information other than the first information. For example, after receiving the inquiry information or the broadcast information, the UE sends a model identification request to the network device, and then receives the information of the model identified by the network device fed back by the network device.

[0153] In some embodiments, the model identification permission information is included in the first information. The first information is, for example, unicast inquiry information or broadcast information. Alternatively, the UE receives the model identification permission information through information other than the first information. For example, after receiving the inquiry information or the broadcast information, the UE sends a model identification request to the network device, and then receives the model identification permission information fed back by the network device.

[0154] In some embodiments, before receiving the unicast first information sent by the network device, the communication device further includes:

[0155] Sending second model identification request information to the network device, where the second model identification request information is used to request model identification.

[0156] Specifically, the unicast first information (e.g., inquiry information) may be actively sent by the network device or actively triggered by the UE. The UE sends a second model identification request message to the network device to request model identification. At this time, triggered by the second model identification request message, the UE receives the inquiry information sent by the network device.

[0157] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device actively triggers the network device to send a unicast first information through the second model recognition request information, and performs a subsequent model recognition process. In addition to avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device and the redundant recognition problem of the network device, it also improves the flexibility of the timing of the communication device initiating model recognition.

[0158] In some embodiments, before receiving the model recognition permission information sent by the network device, the method further includes:

[0159] A third model identification request message is sent to the network device, where the third model identification request message is used to request identification of the first model set, and the target model is a subset of the first model set.

[0160] Specifically, the UE may first send a third model identification request message to the network device for requesting identification of the first model set, notifying the network device of the full set of models it wants to identify, so that the network device can determine the model identification permission information that allows or does not allow the UE to perform model identification and indicate it to the UE.

[0161] Optionally, the model identification permission information is included in the unicast inquiry information. The UE first sends the third model identification request information to the network device. The network device indicates whether the model identification is allowed or not through the model identification permission information in the inquiry information.

[0162] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device first sends the third model recognition request information to the network device, and the network device then feeds back the model recognition permission information, which can effectively avoid the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0163] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0164] Receive confirmation information sent by the network device;

[0165] Based on the confirmation information, a model recognized by the network device in the target model is determined.

[0166] Specifically, after the UE sends a first model identification request message to the network device to request identification of a target model, it may receive confirmation information fed back by the network device, and determines the model in the target model identified by the network device according to the confirmation information.

[0167] Optionally, if the UE does not receive the confirmation information, it is considered that all the target models are recognized by the network device, or it is considered that all the target models are not recognized by the network device.

[0168] Due to factors such as the management capability, complexity, and implementation of network devices, network devices do not necessarily want to identify and use the model initiated by the UE. Therefore, the network device can selectively complete the identification of some models and feed back the identified models to the UE. That is, the model identified by the network device in the confirmation information is a subset of the target model.

[0169] Optionally, the confirmation information is indicated by a bitmap. Each target model corresponds to a bit in the bitmap, for example, it can be a bitmap bit corresponding to the model ID in order from small to large or from large to small. For example, a bitmap bit value of 1 indicates that the model is recognized, and a value of 0 indicates that the model is not recognized; or, a value of 0 indicates that the model is recognized, and a value of 1 indicates that the model is not recognized. Taking the value of 1 indicating that the model is recognized as an example, the target models include model 1, model 2, model 3 and model 4, bitmap = "1011", which means that model 1, model 3 and model 4 are recognized by the network device, and model 2 is not recognized by the network device.

[0170] Optionally, the confirmation information may be an overall indication information, for example, all target models are recognized by the network device, or all target models are not recognized by the network device.

[0171] Optionally, the confirmation information may be an identification list or an identification set, which includes an identification list or an identification set in the target model that is recognized by the network device or is not recognized by the network device.

[0172] Optionally, the confirmation information may include a combination of the identification area and identifications of models within the identification area that are recognized or not recognized by the network device.

[0173] The model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device confirms the information of the model recognized by the network device in the model initiated by the communication device through the confirmation information fed back by the network device, thereby realizing the management of the model on the communication device side by the network device, and has higher flexibility.

[0174] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0175] Based on the confirmation information, the recognition of the model in the target model that is not recognized by the network device is stopped until a preset condition is met.

[0176] Specifically, for the target model that is not recognized by the network device, if there is no restriction, the UE repeatedly initiates the recognition of the model that the network device does not want to recognize, which will cause a waste of resources. Therefore, after the UE receives the confirmation information, for the model that is not recognized by the network device in the target model, the UE will no longer initiate model recognition until the preset conditions are met before initiating model recognition again.

[0177] Optionally, the preset conditions include:

[0178] ① After a first time period, the first time period is predefined by a protocol or configured by the network side. The first time period is a specific time period, a specified time period, etc. It can be predefined by a protocol, or indicated or configured by a network device. Optionally, the first time period is associated with a time when the network device initiates the inquiry. Optionally, the first time period is associated with a broadcast period for the network device to send broadcast information.

[0179] ② The first information is unicast information, which is the next first information sent after receiving the first information sent by the network device in step 201. For example, the UE stops identifying the target model that is not identified by the network device based on the confirmation information until it receives the inquiry information sent by the network device again.

[0180] ③ The first information is broadcast information, and the first information broadcasted for the Lth time after the first information sent by the network device in step 201 is received, where L is an integer greater than or equal to 1. For example, the UE stops identifying the model in the target model that is not identified by the network device based on the confirmation information until the next broadcast period. The broadcast period is often fixed, so the value of L can be predefined by the protocol or configured / indicated by the network device, which has a certain degree of flexibility.

[0181] Optionally, if the network device sends unicast inquiry information at a certain period, the broadcast information in ③ can be replaced with the unicast inquiry information, which can also be achieved.

[0182] The model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after the communication device initiates the recognition of the target model to the network device, stops the recognition of the models in the target model that have not been recognized by the network device according to the confirmation information fed back by the network device until the preset conditions are met, thereby avoiding the communication device from continuously initiating the recognition of models that the network device does not want to recognize, avoiding waste of resources, and further avoiding and reducing the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device and the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0183] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0184] Based on the confirmed information, determine at least one of the following:

[0185] ① Updated information about the model that the network device has identified. After the UE initiates the identification of the target model, the network device may identify all or part of the target model. The network device may then update the set of identified models and feed it back to the UE. For example, the confirmation information may include updated information about the model that the network device has identified.

[0186] ② Updated model identification permission information. After the UE initiates the identification of the target model, the network device may identify all or part of the target model. At this time, the number of model identifications or identification areas allowed by the network device may have changed. Therefore, the network device can feed back the updated model identification permission information to the UE. For example, the confirmation information may include the updated model identification permission information.

[0187] ③ Instruction information for requesting model identification before the Mth broadcast period after receiving the confirmation information, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0188] ④ It is prohibited to request the instruction information for model identification before the Nth broadcast period after receiving the confirmation information, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0189] For ③ and ④, since the broadcast information is sent periodically, multiple UEs may initiate a large number of model identifications in a similar time, and the sum of the number of models exceeds the maximum number of models allowed to be identified by the network equipment. Model identification of some UEs may fail. Therefore, the confirmation information may include relevant information on the failure of model identification, as well as indication information on whether model identification can be requested before a specified number of broadcast cycles after receiving the confirmation information.

[0190] When the confirmation information directly includes updated model identification permission information, if the number of models allowed to be identified indicated in the updated model identification permission information is greater than 0, the UE can make a model identification request based on the updated model identification permission information without waiting for the update time of the subsequent broadcast cycle.

[0191] Optionally, if the network device sends unicast inquiry information at a certain period, the broadcast information in ③ and ④ can be replaced with unicast inquiry information, which can also be achieved.

[0192] The model identification information provided in the embodiment of the present application enables the communication device to determine the timing of initiating new model identification based on the relevant information of the updated model identification contained in the confirmation information, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model identification to the network device and the redundant identification problem of the network device.

[0193] Figure 3 This is the third flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the execution subject of the method is a network (NW) device, such as a base station, etc. The method at least includes the following steps:

[0194] Step 301: Send first information to a communication device.

[0195] Step 302: Receive first model identification request information sent by the communication device based on the first information.

[0196] The first model recognition request information is used to request recognition of the target model.

[0197] Specifically, the communication device includes but is not limited to UE or OTT Server or other entities that want to initiate model recognition to the network device. The following embodiments are described using UE as an example.

[0198] After the network device sends the first information to the UE, the UE can send the first model identification request information for requesting identification of the target model. Optionally, the first information is unicast information or broadcast information, and the unicast information is, for example, query information.

[0199] Optionally, the inquiry information is used to inquire whether the UE needs to perform model identification.

[0200] Optionally, the broadcast information is used to broadcast relevant information that allows model identification. For example, the network device broadcasts information that allows model identification, and the UE can request the network device to perform model identification. For example, the UE broadcasts information that does not allow model identification, and the UE cannot request the network device to perform model identification. Broadcast information is, for example, SIB information, such as SIB1, SIB2, .... All UEs in the cell covered by the network device can receive the broadcast information.

[0201] Compared with unicast inquiry information, broadcast information saves the signaling indication overhead of unicast inquiry information at the cost of the payload in the broadcast information.

[0202] The target model may be the full set of models that the UE wants to perform model identification on, or a subset of the full set of models that the UE wants to perform model identification on. The target model refers to a specific AI / ML model or a specified AI / ML model.

[0203] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device can send the first model recognition request information for requesting the recognition of the target model only after the network device sends the first information to the communication device. The network device flexibly negotiates the timing of model recognition with the communication device, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device.

[0204] In some embodiments, the target model is one of:

[0205] ① The first model set. The first model set is the full set of AI / ML models that the UE wants to identify. Optionally, after the network device sends a query message or broadcasts information to the UE, the UE can directly initiate model identification of the full set of models that it wants to identify.

[0206] ② The second model set. The second model set is the models in the first model set that are not recognized by the network device. Optionally, the UE can only initiate the recognition of the models that are not recognized by the network device. For the models that have been recognized by the network device, the UE does not need to repeatedly initiate model recognition to the network device.

[0207] ③ The third model set. The third model set is the models in the first model set that are permitted by the network device for model recognition. Optionally, the UE can only initiate recognition of models that the network device allows to be recognized. For models that the network device does not allow to be recognized, the UE cannot initiate model recognition to the network device.

[0208] ④ The fourth model set. The fourth model set is the models in the first model set that are not recognized by the network device and are permitted by the network device to perform model recognition. Optionally, the UE can only initiate recognition of models that are not recognized by the network device and are permitted by the network device to recognize. For models that have been recognized by the network device and / or models that the network device does not allow to be recognized, the UE cannot initiate model recognition to the network device.

[0209] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device does not initiate model recognition for a model that has been recognized by the network device, and / or does not initiate model recognition for a model that the network device does not allow model recognition to be performed. This avoids the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoids the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0210] In some embodiments, receiving first model recognition request information sent by a communication device based on first information includes:

[0211] ① Send information about models that have been identified by the network device to the communication device, and receive first model identification request information sent by the communication device, where the first model identification request information is used to request identification of the second model set. The network device also sends information about the identified model to the UE. If the UE receives information about the identified model sent by the network device, the target model is the second model set, that is, the UE requests identification of the second model set in the first model identification request information, that is, initiates model identification of one or more models that are not in the set of models that have been identified by the network device.

[0212] ② Send model identification permission information to the communication device, and receive the first model identification request information sent by the communication device, where the first model identification request information is used to request the identification of the third model set. The network device also sends model identification permission information to the UE. If the UE receives the model identification permission information sent by the network device, the target model is the third model set, that is, the UE requests the identification of the second model set in the first model identification request information, that is, the identification of the model that the initiating network device allows to be identified.

[0213] The model recognition permission information includes relevant information that the network device is allowed to perform model recognition or relevant information that the network device is not allowed to perform model recognition. Optionally, the model that the network device is allowed to perform model recognition may be a model that the network device has not recognized.

[0214] ③ Send information about models that have been identified by the network device and model identification permission information to the communication device, and receive first model identification request information sent by the communication device, where the first model identification request information is used to request identification of the fourth model set. The network device can send information about identified models and model identification permission information to the UE. If the UE receives both information about identified models and model identification permission information sent by the network device, the target model is the fourth model set, that is, the UE requests identification of the fourth model set in the first model identification request information, that is, initiates model identification of one or more models that have not been identified by the network device and are permitted by the network device to perform model identification. Optionally, if the model identification permission information indicates relevant information that does not allow model identification or the number of models allowed to be identified is 0, the UE often does not receive information about models that have been identified by the network device.

[0215] Optionally, the network device only sends model recognition permission information and does not send information about the model that the network device has recognized, which can effectively protect the privacy of the network device.

[0216] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network device notifies the communication device of the information of the model that the network device has recognized and / or the model recognition permission information, so that the communication device does not initiate model recognition for the model that the network device has recognized, and / or does not initiate model recognition for the model that the network device does not allow model recognition, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoiding the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0217] In some embodiments, the information of the model identified by the network device includes at least one of the following:

[0218] ① A collection of models that the network device has identified. In the information of the models that the network device has identified, the network device directly indicates one or more models that the network device has identified, which can be specifically indicated in the form of a collection. There may be one or more collections, and different collections may correspond to different model categories, such as different model functions, or different model size ranges.

[0219] ② A list of identifications of models that the network device has identified. In the information of the models that the network device has identified, the network device directly indicates one or more models that the network device has identified, which can be specifically indicated in the form of a list of identifications of one or more models. The identification can also be an index number, a serial number, or other means that can distinguish different models. There may be one or more lists, and different lists can correspond to different model categories, such as different model functions, or different model size ranges.

[0220] For example, a list: List = {model ID #1, model ID #2 ...}, represents the full set of models that the network device has identified. For example: multiple lists: List #1 = {model ID #1_1, Model ID #1_2 ...}, List #2 = {model ID #2_1, model ID #2_2 ...}, where List #1 represents the list of models used for CSI compression feedback, and List #2 represents the list of models used for BM.

[0221] ③ The maximum value of the identification of the model recognized by the network device (for example, max model ID). If the identification of the model recognized by the network device is continuously increasing according to a certain rule, such as model 0, model 1, model 2, and another example is model A, model B, model C. The increasing rule can be increasing in the order of recognition, or increasing in the order of model version update, etc. In the information of the model recognized by the network device, the maximum value of the identification of the model recognized by the network device is indicated. So that the UE can determine, based on the maximum value of the identification of the model recognized by the network device, such as "2" or "C", that any model with a model identification less than or equal to the maximum value of the identification has been recognized by the network device, then the UE only needs to initiate the recognition of the model with a model identification greater than the maximum value to the network device.

[0222] ④ The number of models recognized by the network device. Similarly, if the identification of the models recognized by the network device is continuously increased according to certain rules (such as the order of identification, the order of model version update, etc.), the number of models recognized by the network device is indicated in the information of the models recognized by the network device. So that the UE can determine the identification set and / or the maximum identification value of the models recognized by the network device based on the number of models recognized by the network device, and it only needs to initiate the identification of the model whose model identification is not in the identification set and / or is greater than the maximum identification value to the network device.

[0223] ⑤ A combination of an identification area of ​​a model identified by the network device and a maximum identification value in the identification area, and different identification areas are used to classify the models identified by the network device. Different identification areas may correspond to different model categories, such as different model functions or different model size ranges. If within an identification area, the identification of the model identified by the network device increases continuously over time, the information of the model identified by the network device indicates the combination of the identification area identified by the network device and the maximum identification value in the identification area, so that the UE can determine the identification area identified by the network device and the models in each identification area based on the combination of the identification area identified by the network device and the maximum identification value in the identification area, and no longer initiate model identification of these models.

[0224] There may be one or more area identifiers. For example, the max model ID#3 in ID area #1 and the max model ID#5 in ID area #2. Then, the UE will no longer initiate model identification for models with IDs less than or equal to 3 in ID area #1; and the UE will no longer initiate model identification for models with IDs less than or equal to 5 in ID area #2.

[0225] It should be noted that replacing the identification area with an identification set, an identification list, etc. is also applicable. Different identification areas, identification sets, identification lists, etc. are mainly used to classify models. There can be many bases for classifying models, such as classification by model function, model size range, etc. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0226] ⑥ The identification area of ​​the model recognized by the network device and the number of models in the identification area. If the identification of the model recognized by the network device in an identification area is continuously increased according to certain rules (for example, over time, the order of identification, the order of model version update, etc.), the identification area recognized by the network device and the number of models in the identification area are indicated in the information of the model recognized by the network device, so that the UE can determine the identification area of ​​the model recognized by the network device, as well as the identification set and / or identification maximum value of the model in the identification area.

[0227] Optionally, if the network device has received a request message sent by the UE for requesting identification of one or more models before sending the information of the identified models, the information of the models identified by the network device fed back may only include relevant information of the models identified by the network device in the identification area where these models are located. For example, if the models requested for model identification by the UE all belong to ID area #1, the information of the identified models fed back by the network device only includes the combination of the maximum value of the identification or the number of models in ID area #1, and does not include relevant information of ID area #2.

[0228] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends information of the recognized model to the communication device, so that the UE only initiates model recognition for the model not recognized by the network device, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoiding the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0229] In some embodiments, the model identifies the permission information, including at least one of the following:

[0230] ① The first indication information that the network device permits model identification. The first indication information may be an overall indication, indicating that model identification is allowed, or indicating that model identification is not allowed. Optionally, it indicates that all models that the UE wants to identify can be identified, or it indicates that all models that the UE wants to identify cannot be identified.

[0231] ② The second indication information of the number of models that the network device permits to perform model recognition. The model recognition permission information may indicate the number of models that are allowed to perform model recognition. For example, the network device also allows the recognition of 3 models. When the number of models that the network device permits to perform model recognition is 0, it indicates that the network device does not allow model recognition. There may also be multiple numbers of models that are allowed to perform model recognition, and different numbers of models correspond to different model categories, indicating how many models of different categories of models are still allowed to perform model recognition.

[0232] ③ The third indication information of the model identification that the network device permits to perform model identification. Of the full set of models that the UE wants to identify, often only part of them may be allowed to be identified by the network device. If the network device receives a request for model identification of certain models from the UE before sending the model identification permission information indication, the model identification permission information fed back by the network device can accurately indicate the models that are allowed to perform model identification, such as indicating the identification of the models that are allowed to perform model identification. For example, the terminal requests to perform identification of models 1, 2, 3, and 4, and in the model identification permission information, only the identification of models 3 and 4 is allowed. There are other ways for the model identification permission information to indicate the models that are allowed to perform model identification, such as indicating the categories of models that are allowed to perform model identification (including model functions, model size ranges, etc.).

[0233] ④ Fourth indication information of the identification area where the network device is permitted to perform model recognition. The model recognition permission information may indicate the identification area where model recognition is permitted or the identification area where model recognition is not permitted.

[0234] ⑤ The fifth indication information of the identification area where the network device is permitted to perform model recognition and the number of models permitted to perform model recognition in the identification area. The model permission information can indicate the identification area where model recognition is allowed or not allowed and the number of models. For example, the network device permits the recognition of 2 models in the ID area #1, the recognition of 3 models in the ID area #2, and the recognition of 0 models in the ID area #3.

[0235] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a network device sends model recognition permission information to a communication device so that the communication device only initiates model recognition for models that the network device allows to be recognized, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device, and also avoiding the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0236] In some embodiments, the information of the model identified by the network device is included in the first information. The first information is unicast information or broadcast information. Alternatively, the network device sends the information of the model identified by the network device through information other than the first information. For example, after the network device sends the query information or the broadcast information, it receives the model identification request sent by the UE, and then feeds back the information of the model identified by the network device.

[0237] In some embodiments, the model identification permission information is included in the first information. Alternatively, the network device sends the model identification permission information through information other than the first information. For example, after the network device sends the query information or broadcast information, it receives the model identification request sent by the UE and then feeds back the model identification permission information.

[0238] In some embodiments, before sending the unicast first information to the communication device, the method further includes:

[0239] Second model identification request information sent by the communication device is received, where the second model identification request information is used to request model identification.

[0240] Specifically, the unicast first information may be actively sent by the network device or actively triggered by the UE. The network device receives the second model identification request information sent by the UE, and the second model identification request information requests model identification. At this time, under the triggering of the second model identification request information, the network device sends the inquiry information.

[0241] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network device triggers the sending of first information based on the second model recognition request information sent by the communication device, and performs a subsequent model recognition process. In addition to avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device and the redundant recognition problem of the network device, it also improves the flexibility of the timing of the communication device initiating model recognition.

[0242] In some embodiments, before sending the model recognition permission information to the communication device, the method further includes:

[0243] A third model identification request message sent by a communication device is received, where the third model identification request message is used to request identification of the first model set, and the target model is a subset of the first model set.

[0244] Specifically, the network device first receives the third model identification request information sent by the UE for requesting the identification of the first model set, determines the full set of models that the UE wants to identify, and then feeds back model identification permission information to the UE, which allows or does not allow the UE to perform model identification.

[0245] Optionally, the model identification permission information is included in the query information. The network device receives the third model identification request information sent by the UE, and then the network device indicates whether model identification is allowed or not through the model identification permission information in the query information.

[0246] In the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network device feeds back the model recognition permission information only after receiving the third model recognition request information sent by the communication device, which can effectively avoid the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0247] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0248] A confirmation message is sent to the communication device, where the confirmation message is used to indicate the model in the target model that is recognized by the network device.

[0249] Specifically, after the network device receives the first model identification request information sent by the UE, requesting to identify the target model, due to factors such as the management capability, complexity, and implementation of the network device, the network device does not necessarily want to identify and use the model for which the UE initiates model identification. Therefore, the network device can selectively identify or use the model for which the UE initiates model identification, and feed back the identified model to the UE through confirmation information. The model identified by the network device in the confirmation information is a subset of the target model.

[0250] Optionally, if the network device does not feed back the confirmation information, all the UE default target models are recognized by the network device, or none of the default target models are recognized by the network device.

[0251] Optionally, the confirmation information is indicated by a bitmap. Each target model corresponds to a bit in the bitmap, for example, it can be a bitmap bit corresponding to the model ID in order from small to large or from large to small. For example, a bitmap bit value of 1 indicates that the model is recognized, and a value of 0 indicates that the model is not recognized; or, a value of 0 indicates that the model is recognized, and a value of 1 indicates that the model is not recognized. Taking the value of 1 indicating that the model is recognized as an example, the target models include model 1, model 2, model 3 and model 4, bitmap = "1011", which means that model 1, model 3 and model 4 are recognized by the network device, and model 2 is not recognized by the network device.

[0252] Optionally, the confirmation information may be an overall indication information, for example, all target models are recognized by the network device, or all target models are not recognized by the network device.

[0253] Optionally, the confirmation information may be an identification list or an identification set, which includes an identification list or an identification set in the target model that is recognized by the network device or is not recognized by the network device.

[0254] Optionally, the confirmation information may include a combination of the identification area and identifications of models within the identification area that are recognized or not recognized by the network device.

[0255] The model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application is that the network device feeds back to the communication device through confirmation information, and the communication device initiates the information of the model recognized by the network device in the model of model recognition, thereby realizing the network device's management of the model on the communication device side with higher flexibility.

[0256] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0257] After sending the confirmation information, stop identifying the models in the target model that are not identified by the network device until a preset condition is met.

[0258] Specifically, for the models in the target model that are not recognized by the network device, the UE may repeatedly initiate model recognition. After sending the confirmation information, the network device may not recognize the models in the target model that are not recognized by the network device until the preset condition is met.

[0259] Optionally, the preset conditions include:

[0260] ① After a first time period, the first time period is predefined by a protocol or configured by the network side. The first time period is a specific time period, a specified time period, etc. It can be predefined by a protocol, or indicated or configured by a network device. Optionally, the first time period is associated with a time when the network device initiates the inquiry. Optionally, the first time period is associated with a broadcast period for the network device to send broadcast information.

[0261] ② The first information is unicast information, and the next first information is sent to the UE after the first information sent in step 301. For example, the network device may not start to identify the model in the target model that has not been identified by the network device until the query information is sent again.

[0262] ③ The first information is broadcast information. After the first information sent in step 301, the first information is broadcast to the UE for the Lth time, where L is an integer greater than or equal to 1. For example, the network device may not start to identify the model in the target model that has not been identified by the network device until the next broadcast cycle. The broadcast cycle is often fixed, so the value of L can be predefined by the protocol or configured / indicated by the network device, which has a certain degree of flexibility.

[0263] Optionally, if the network device sends unicast inquiry information at a certain period, the broadcast information in ③ can be replaced with the inquiry information, which can also be achieved.

[0264] According to the model recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network device may not recognize the model in the target model that has not been recognized by the network device until the preset conditions are met, thereby avoiding the waste of resources caused by the communication device continuously initiating the recognition of models that the network device does not want to recognize, and further avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model recognition to the network device and the redundant recognition problem of the network device.

[0265] In some embodiments, the confirmation information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0266] ① Updated information about the model that the network device has identified. After the UE initiates the identification of the target model, the network device may identify all or part of the target model. The network device may then update the set of identified models and feed it back to the UE. For example, the confirmation information may include updated information about the model that the network device has identified.

[0267] ② Updated model identification permission information. After the UE initiates the identification of the target model, the network device may identify all or part of the target model. At this time, the number of model identifications or identification areas allowed by the network device may have changed. Therefore, the network device can feed back the updated model identification permission information to the UE. For example, the confirmation information may include the updated model identification permission information.

[0268] ③ Instruction information for requesting model identification before the Mth broadcast period after the confirmation information, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0269] ④ It is prohibited to request the instruction information for model identification before the Nth broadcast period after the confirmation information, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0270] For ③ and ④, since the broadcast information is sent periodically, multiple UEs may initiate a large number of model identifications in a similar time, and the sum of the number of models exceeds the maximum number of models allowed to be identified by the network equipment. Model identification of some UEs may fail. Therefore, the confirmation information may include relevant information on the model identification failure, as well as indication information indicating whether the UE can request model identification before a specified number of broadcast cycles after receiving the confirmation information.

[0271] When the confirmation information directly includes updated model identification permission information, if the number of models allowed to be identified indicated in the updated model identification permission information is greater than 0, the UE can make a model identification request based on the updated model identification permission information without waiting for the update time of the subsequent broadcast cycle.

[0272] Optionally, if the network device sends inquiry information at a certain period, the broadcast information in ③ and ④ can be replaced with the inquiry information, which can also be achieved.

[0273] The model identification information provided in the embodiment of the present application is that the network device notifies the communication device of the relevant information of the updated model identification so that the communication device can initiate a new model identification, thereby avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of communication devices initiating model identification to the network device and the redundant identification problem of the network device.

[0274] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is further described below through several specific examples, where NW represents a network device.

[0275] Example 1: The NW sends a query message, which indicates information about the model that the NW has identified.

[0276] Figure 4 This is the third flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method comprises at least the following steps:

[0277] Step 1: NW sends a query message to UE, asking UE whether model recognition is required.

[0278] Optionally, the inquiry information includes information about models that have been recognized by the current network device, or a set of models that have been recognized by the current network device, so as to allow the UE to determine which models have been recognized by the network device without initiating recognition again.

[0279] Optionally, the information of the model identified by the network device is indicated by the ID list of the model identified by the current network device. Optionally, there is one ID list, for example, List = {model ID#1, model ID#2...}, indicating the full set of identified models. Optionally, there are multiple ID lists, for example, List#1 = {model ID#1_1, Model ID#1_2...}, List#2 = {model ID#2_1, model ID#2_2...}.

[0280] Optionally, the maximum value among the model IDs currently recognized by the network device indicates the information of the model recognized by the network device. Assuming that the models are recognized continuously, the model ID increases according to the recognition time. Optionally, the maximum value is one, such as max model ID, which indicates the maximum value of the model ID among the recognized models, and any model whose model ID is less than or equal to maxmodel ID has been recognized by the network device. Optionally, the maximum value is multiple, that is, multiple maximum values ​​in each of the multiple ID areas, such as max model ID#1 in ID area #1, max model ID#2 in ID area #2..., respectively indicating that any model whose model ID is less than the max model ID in each ID area has been recognized by the network device.

[0281] Optionally, other indication methods are used to enable the UE to clearly understand the information of the model that has been identified by the network device.

[0282] Step 2: UE performs model recognition on NW.

[0283] The UE can identify one or more AI / ML models. The UE can only initiate the identification of models that the network device has not identified. If the network device has already identified a model, the UE does not need to initiate model identification to the network device for the model that the network device has already identified.

[0284] Step 3: Optionally, the NW feeds back confirmation information to the UE.

[0285] In the absence of step 3, the UE assumes that all models initiated in step 2 are recognized by the network device. However, due to the management capability, complexity, or implementation factors of the network device, the network device does not necessarily want to recognize and use a model initiated by the UE. Therefore, the network device can selectively complete the recognition of some models and feed back the recognized models to the UE. The models recognized by the network device should be a subset of the models initiated by the UE.

[0286] Optionally, the specific manner in which the network device feeds back the confirmation information is a list, namely, a "list of model IDs identified by the network device in the models for which the UE initiates model identification".

[0287] Optionally, the specific form of the confirmation information fed back by the network device may be a bitmap, for example, "0" indicates unrecognized and "1" indicates recognized, then bitmap = "1011" indicates that the 1st, 3rd, and 4th models are recognized, and the 2nd model is not recognized;

[0288] Optionally, the network device may also feedback indication information of “all models are recognized” or “all models are not recognized”.

[0289] Optionally, other methods that can correctly reflect the model identified by the network device in the model initiated by the UE.

[0290] In addition, it is also necessary to consider the processing of models that are not permitted by the model recognition permission information sent by the network device. If there is no restriction, the UE may still repeatedly initiate the recognition of models that the network device does not want to recognize, which will cause a waste of resources. Therefore, the UE will no longer initiate the model recognition of models that are not confirmed by the feedback information of the network device, and can only initiate model recognition again after the following conditions:

[0291] ① After a specific time period. The specific time period may be a predefined time period, or a time period that can be configured / indicated by the network device.

[0292] ②After the network device initiates the next model recognition inquiry / permission.

[0293] The network device actively controls the timing of the UE to perform model recognition, avoiding the high complexity caused by a large number of UEs performing model recognition; when the network device actively inquires the UE, it also indicates the model that the network device has already recognized, and the UE does not perform model recognition on the recognized model, thus avoiding the problem of redundant recognition. In addition, the network device can also selectively recognize the model initiated by the UE, which has higher flexibility.

[0294] Example 2: NW sends an inquiry message, and after receiving the model identification request fed back by the UE, it feeds back model identification permission information.

[0295] Figure 5 This is a fourth flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method comprises at least the following steps:

[0296] Step 1: NW sends a query message to UE, asking UE whether model recognition is required.

[0297] The query information is only used to trigger or prompt the UE to send a model identification request.

[0298] Step 2: UE sends a model identification request message to NW.

[0299] The model identification request information indicates the model that the UE wants to perform model identification on, for example, carries an ID list of the models that the UE wants to perform model identification on.

[0300] Optionally, there are one or more ID lists. Different ID lists represent different model functions or model range sizes, etc.

[0301] Step 3: NW feeds back model identification permission information to UE.

[0302] The model identification permission information indicates which models among the models requested by the UE for identification in step 2 are allowed to be identified. Optionally, the model identification permission information notified by the network device is a general indication, that is, indicating that all the models that the UE wants to identify are identifiable, or that all are not identifiable. Optionally, the model identification permission information notified by the network device indicates a list of IDs of models that are allowed to be identified, and the list may have one or more.

[0303] Step 4: UE performs model recognition on NW.

[0304] The UE can only perform model identification on the models allowed to be identified in step 3.

[0305] Step 5: NW feeds back confirmation information to UE. The specific implementation is the same as Example 1.

[0306] Compared with Example 1, the network device does not send the model that has been identified in the network device to the UE, which can protect the privacy of the network device; and the number of bits and resources required to indicate the ID list of the model that the UE requests to identify in the model identification request in step 2 are relatively small (compared with directly transmitting the model's metadata or model description information), which is more flexible than the UE directly initiating the identification of all models, and can effectively avoid waste of resources.

[0307] Example 3: The UE receives the inquiry information sent by the network device and directly initiates the identification of one or more models.

[0308] Figure 6 This is a fifth flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method comprises at least the following steps:

[0309] Step 1: NW sends a query message to UE, asking UE whether model recognition is required.

[0310] The query information is only used to trigger or prompt the UE to send a model identification request.

[0311] Step 2: UE performs model recognition on NW.

[0312] Different from Example 1 and Example 2, the UE is not aware of the information of the models that have been identified by the network device, and has not received the model identification permission information, and directly initiates the identification of the full set of models that it wants to identify.

[0313] Step 3: NW feeds back confirmation information to UE. The specific implementation is the same as Example 1.

[0314] Compared with Example 1, the network device does not send the model that has been identified in the network device to the UE, which can protect the privacy of the network device; compared with Example 2, the interaction between the UE and the network device is significantly reduced, the time required for model identification is shorter, and the delay is shorter. However, since the UE directly initiates the model identification of the entire set, the problems of redundant identification and waste of transmission resources are difficult to avoid.

[0315] Example 4: NW broadcast model identification license.

[0316] Figure 7 This is the sixth flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the method comprises at least the following steps:

[0317] for Figure 7 For part (a) of the embodiment, except step 1, the whole process can refer to Example 3.

[0318] Step 1. NW broadcasts model identification permission information. All UEs in the cells covered by the network device can receive the broadcast information. Optionally, the model identification permission information is carried in the SIB and broadcast. Optionally, the model identification permission information is an indication of "whether model identification is allowed". Only when the indication is "model identification is allowed", can the UE initiate model identification. Optionally, the model identification permission information is a quantity indication of "how many models are still allowed to be identified". Only when the indication "the number of models allowed to be identified" is greater than 0, can the UE initiate model identification.

[0319] for Figure 7 For part (b) of the embodiment, except step 1, the whole process can refer to Example 2.

[0320] Step 1. NW broadcasts model identification permission information. All UEs in the cells covered by the network device can receive the broadcast information. Optionally, the model identification permission information is carried in the SIB and broadcast. Optionally, the model identification permission information is an indication of "whether model identification is allowed". Only when the indication is "model identification is allowed", can the UE initiate model identification. Optionally, the model identification permission information is a quantity indication of "how many models are still allowed to be identified". Only when the indication "the number of models allowed to be identified" is greater than 0, can the UE initiate model identification.

[0321] exist Figure 7 In the UE, since the model identification permission is sent through SIB broadcast, SIB broadcast often has a certain period, so the update of model identification permission information is also periodic. Therefore, the UE's behavior of model identification has the following characteristics:

[0322] When the UE wants to perform model recognition or send a model recognition request at time t, it needs to determine whether the recognition can be performed based on the model recognition permission information broadcast before time t and closest to time t.

[0323] Since multiple UEs may initiate model identification within a similar time t, the sum of the number of models that multiple UEs want to identify exceeds the number of models allowed to be identified by the network device, and model identification of some UEs may fail. Therefore, the network device can include "model identification failure" information in the feedback confirmation information, and also include:

[0324] ① Whether the indication of model identification can be initiated before the next SIB broadcast transmission cycle.

[0325] ② Directly carry the updated model identification permission information so that the UE can determine whether to initiate model identification or send a model identification request based on the updated model identification permission information without waiting for the update time of the next SIB broadcast cycle.

[0326] Compared with Example 2 and Example 3, the model identification permission information contained in the unicast inquiry information is replaced by the broadcast model identification permission information, and the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) indication overhead of the unicast inquiry are saved at the cost of the load in the SIB, which is suitable for occasions where PDCCH / PDSCH capacity is limited.

[0327] Example 5: The NW broadcasts the information of the model that the NW has identified.

[0328] Figure 8 This is the seventh flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the flow of the method can refer to Example 1 as a whole except step 1. In step 1, the network device broadcasts the information of the model that the network device has identified. Optionally, the information of the model that the network device has identified is carried in the SIB and broadcasted. The unicast query information is replaced by the broadcast information, which carries the information of the model that the network device has identified.

[0329] Compared with Example 1, the information of the model identified by the network device is carried through broadcast information rather than unicast inquiry information, saving the PDCCH and PDSCH indication overhead of unicast inquiry at the cost of the load in the SIB, which is suitable for occasions with limited PDCCH / PDSCH capacity.

[0330] Example 6: The NW broadcasts the information of the model recognized by the NW and / or the model recognition permission information.

[0331] Fig. 9 This is the eighth flow chart of the model identification method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the method comprises at least the following steps:

[0332] Fig. 9 Part (a) in the figure shows the process in which the model recognition permission information broadcast by the network device is "model recognition is not allowed". Fig. 9 Part (b) shows the process in which the model identification permission information broadcast by the network device is "model identification is allowed".

[0333] Step 1. NW broadcasts model identification permission information. All UEs in the cells covered by the network device can receive the broadcast information. Optionally, the model identification permission information is carried in the SIB and broadcast. Optionally, the model identification permission information is an indication of "whether model identification is allowed". Only when the indication is "model identification is allowed", can the UE initiate model identification. Optionally, when the model identification permission information is "model identification is allowed", the number of models allowed for model identification can also be indicated.

[0334] Optionally, in the case of “allowing model identification”, the network device also broadcasts information of the model that has been identified by the network device.

[0335] Step 2: (Only in the case of "model identification allowed") UE performs model identification on NW. UE only performs model identification on models that are allowed and not identified by the network device.

[0336] Step 3: (Only in the case of "model identification allowed") NW feeds back confirmation information to UE. For specific implementation, please refer to Example 1 and Example 2.

[0337] Based on Example 4 and Example 5, further improvements have been made. When the network device does not allow model recognition, the recognized model is not broadcasted, saving indication overhead; when the network device allows model recognition, the recognized model is indicated to avoid redundant recognition.

[0338] Example 7: Based on Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3, step 0 is added before step 1: UE sends a model identification request message to NW to request model identification. Step 0 can trigger NW to execute step 1: NW sends a query message to UE.

[0339] In step 0, the model identification request information is only used to request model identification, and does not include other indication information. The model identification request information can be carried through physical layer signaling (such as physical random access channel (PRACH), physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)), or through high-level signaling (such as a cell carrying a model identification request).

[0340] Optionally, after the UE sends the model identification request information to the network device, the UE can perform subsequent model identification only after receiving the query information fed back by the network device.

[0341] Compared with Example 1, the timing for the UE to initiate model identification is more flexible, and the UE can actively try to trigger it, rather than passively waiting for the network device to initiate an inquiry. The active inquiry of the network device is often periodic, and the period is often long.

[0342] Fig.10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.10 As shown, the terminal includes a memory 1001, a transceiver 1002, and a processor 1003, wherein:
