[0243] Optionally, there are multiple AI features in AI technology, which can be understood as AI use cases, that is, specific instances of AI application. The AI ​​use cases may include one or more of: AI-based channel state information (CSI) enhancement, AI-based beam management, and AI-based positioning.

[0244] Optionally, one or more AI functions may correspond to an AI use case, wherein the AI ​​function corresponds to at least one parameter and at least one parameter value of the parameter, and at least one of the parameters and parameter values ​​differs between different AI functions. The parameter corresponding to the AI ​​function can be used to implement the AI ​​feature corresponding to the AI ​​feature. For example, when the AI ​​feature is AI-based beam management, and the AI ​​feature corresponds to two AI functions, namely AI function #1 and AI function #2, the parameters corresponding to AI function #1 and AI function #2 can be: the number of beams input to the AI ​​model; wherein the parameter value of the parameter "number of beams input to the AI ​​model" corresponding to AI function #1 can be, for example, 4, 8, 16, and the parameter value of the parameter "number of beams input to the AI ​​model" corresponding to AI function #2 can be, for example, 32, 64. In this case, AI-based beam management can be implemented based on the parameter values ​​corresponding to AI function #1 and the parameter values ​​corresponding to AI function #2, respectively.

[0245] However, currently, it is usually necessary to perform functional identification of AI functions and further manage the AI ​​functions based on the identification. This management may include, for example, selecting AI functions, configuring AI functions, switching AI functions, etc., and there is currently no clear method for identifying AI functions.

[0246] FIG2A is an interactive diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method for use in a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0247] Step 2101: The network device determines at least one of the following based on a protocol agreement: an identifier corresponding to at least one AI functionality, at least one parameter corresponding to each AI functionality, and a parameter value of the at least one parameter.

[0248] The following is a detailed introduction to AI functions.

[0249] It should be noted that the AI ​​function corresponds to an AI feature. Optionally, there are multiple AI features in AI technology. The AI ​​feature can be understood as an AI use case, that is, a specific instance of AI application. The AI ​​use case may include one or more of: AI-based channel state information (CSI) enhancement, AI-based beam management, and AI-based positioning. Optionally, one or more AI functions may correspond to an AI use case, wherein the AI ​​function corresponds to a parameter and a parameter value of at least one parameter. At least one of the parameters and parameter values ​​of different AI functions is different. The parameter corresponding to the AI ​​function can be used to implement the AI ​​feature corresponding to the AI ​​function. For example, when the AI ​​feature is AI-based beam management, and the AI ​​feature corresponds to two AI functions, namely AI function #1 and AI function #2, the parameters corresponding to AI function #1 and AI function #2 may be the number of beams input to the AI ​​model; wherein the parameter value of the parameter "number of beams input to the AI ​​model" corresponding to AI function #1 may be, for example, 4, 8, or 16, and the parameter value of the parameter "number of beams input to the AI ​​model" corresponding to AI function #2 may be, for example, 32 or 64. In this case, AI-based beam management may be implemented based on the parameter values ​​corresponding to AI function #1 and the parameter values ​​corresponding to AI function #2, respectively. Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned parameter value may refer to the value range of the parameter.

[0250] It should be emphasized that the above-mentioned “AI characteristics” and “AI functions” are example descriptions of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited to them. Other similar names should also be within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0251] Optionally, in some embodiments, the aforementioned "determining at least one of the following: an identifier corresponding to at least one AI functionality, at least one parameter corresponding to each AI functionality, and a parameter value of the at least one parameter" may include, for the same AI feature, determining at least one of the following: an identifier corresponding to at least one AI functionality, at least one parameter corresponding to each AI functionality, and a parameter value of the at least one parameter. For example, the identifier corresponding to at least one AI functionality, at least one parameter corresponding to each AI functionality, and a parameter value of the at least one parameter may be determined for the AI ​​feature. Optionally, different AI features may have different identifiers.

[0252] Optionally, Table 1 is a schematic table showing the correspondence between an AI function (functionality) and an identifier, at least one parameter corresponding to each AI function, and a parameter value of at least one parameter, as shown in an example of the present disclosure.

[0253] Table 1

[0254] As shown in Table 1, the parameters corresponding to the AI ​​function identified as "Functionality X" include A, and the parameter value corresponding to parameter A is: {a1x, a2x, a3x}. Optionally, the AI ​​function identified as "Functionality X", the AI ​​function identified as "Functionality Y", and the AI ​​function identified as "Functionality Z" shown in Table 1 all correspond to the same AI feature.

[0255] Step 2102: The terminal determines at least one of the following based on the protocol agreement: an identifier corresponding to at least one AI function, at least one parameter corresponding to each AI function, and a parameter value of the at least one parameter.

[0256] For the relevant introduction of step 2102, please refer to the description of the above embodiment.

[0257] Step 2103: The terminal reports the first identifier.

[0258] Optionally, the first identifier may be an identifier corresponding to an AI function supported by the terminal.

[0259] Optionally, the terminal may report the first identifier to the network device. Optionally, the network device may receive the first identifier.

[0260] For example, if the terminal supports functionality X and functionality Y in Table 1 above, the terminal can directly report support for functionality X and functionality Y without reporting the specific parameters and parameter values ​​supported, thereby saving resource overhead and improving efficiency.

[0261] Optionally, the terminal may actively report the first identifier after accessing the network, or the terminal may report the first identifier based on a request or trigger of a network device.

[0262] Step 2104: The network device sends fourth information based on the first identifier.

[0263] Optionally, the network device may send the fourth information to the terminal, and the terminal may receive the fourth information, and the fourth information is used to manage the AI ​​function. Optionally, the AI ​​function management may include at least one of the following: selection of the AI ​​function, configuration of the AI ​​function, and switching of the AI ​​function.

[0264] Optionally, when the fourth information is used to select an AI function, the fourth information may be used to indicate an identifier corresponding to the AI ​​function selected by the network device. Optionally, the network device may determine which AI functions are supported by the terminal based on the first identifier. Then, for example, when the terminal requests an AI service from the network device, the network device may select an AI function that can implement the AI ​​service from the AI ​​functions supported by the terminal based on the AI ​​service requested by the terminal, and send fourth information to the terminal. The fourth information may indicate an identifier corresponding to the AI ​​function selected by the network device, and after receiving the fourth information, the terminal may determine the AI ​​function selected by the network device and implement the corresponding AI service based on the AI ​​function selected by the network device.

[0265] Alternatively, optionally, when the fourth information is used to configure the AI ​​function, the fourth information may be used to indicate an identifier corresponding to the AI ​​function that the terminal needs to activate. Optionally, the network device may determine which AI functions the terminal supports based on the first identifier. Then, for example, when the terminal requests the network device to activate the AI ​​function, the network device may select a suitable AI function from the AI ​​functions supported by the terminal based on the AI ​​service currently executed by the terminal, and send the fourth information to the terminal. The fourth information may indicate an identifier corresponding to the AI ​​function that the terminal needs to activate, and after the terminal receives the fourth information, the terminal may determine the AI ​​function to be activated and activate the AI ​​function to implement the corresponding AI service.

[0266] For example, if the terminal supports {Functionality X, Functionality Y, Functionality Z}, then if the network device determines that the terminal needs to activate Functionality X, then the network device can directly configure the activation of Functionality X without configuring the parameters and parameter values ​​corresponding to Functionality X, which can save signaling overhead and improve efficiency.

[0267] Alternatively, optionally, when the fourth information is used to switch the AI ​​function, the fourth information may be used to indicate an identifier corresponding to the target AI function to be switched by the terminal. Optionally, the network device may determine which AI functions are supported by the terminal based on the first identifier. Then, for example, when the terminal requests the network device to switch the AI ​​function, the network device may select the target to be switched by the terminal from the AI ​​functions supported by the terminal based on the AI ​​service currently executed by the terminal, and send the fourth information to the terminal. The fourth information may indicate an identifier corresponding to the target AI function to be switched by the terminal, so that after the terminal receives the fourth information, the terminal can switch to the target AI function indicated by the fourth information to implement the AI ​​service.

[0268] Step 2105: The terminal manages the AI ​​function based on the fourth information.

[0269] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the terminal receives the above-mentioned fourth information sent by the network device, the terminal can select the corresponding AI function based on the identifier indicated by the fourth information to perform the AI ​​service, or the terminal can activate the corresponding AI function based on the identifier indicated by the fourth information to perform the AI ​​service, or the terminal can switch from the current AI function to the AI ​​function corresponding to the identifier indicated by the fourth information to perform the AI ​​service.

[0270] The communication method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2105. For example, step S2101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2103 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S2101+S2102 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0271] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other embodiments or other examples.

[0272] FIG2B is an interactive diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2B , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method for use in a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0273] Step 2201: The network device determines at least one parameter corresponding to each AI function based on a protocol agreement.

[0274] For example, the protocol may stipulate that the at least one parameter corresponding to one or more AI functions corresponding to AI feature #1 may be: A, B, C.

[0275] Step 2202: The terminal determines at least one parameter corresponding to each AI function based on the protocol agreement.

[0276] Step 2203: The first information reported by the terminal.

[0277] Optionally, the first information may include: a parameter value of at least one parameter supported by the terminal.

[0278] For example, assuming that the parameters corresponding to one or more AI functions of AI feature #1 are: A, B, and C, then terminal #1 can report the parameter values ​​supported by it for A, B, and C, respectively. For example, terminal #1 can report that the parameter value supported by it for parameter A is: {a1x, a2x, a3x, a1y, a2y, a3y}, the parameter value supported by it for parameter B is: {b1x, b2x, b3x, b1y, b2y, b3y}, and the parameter value supported by it for parameter C is: {c1x, c2x, c3x, c1y, c2y, c3y}; terminal #2 can report the parameter values ​​supported by it for A, B, and C, respectively. For example, terminal #2 can report that the parameter value supported by it for parameter A is: {a1x, a2x, a3x, a1y, a2y, a3y} 1z,a2z,a3z}, the parameter values ​​supported for parameter B are: {b1x,b2x,b3x,b1z,b2z,b3z}, and the parameter values ​​supported for parameter C are: {c1x,c2x,c3x,c1z,c2z,c3z}.

[0279] Optionally, the terminal may report the first information to the network device, and the network device may receive the first information.

[0280] Optionally, the terminal may actively report the first information after accessing the network, or the terminal may report the first information based on a request or trigger of a network device.

[0281] Step 2204: The network device determines at least one AI function based on the parameters and parameter values.

[0282] Optionally, the network device may determine at least one AI function based on parameters and parameter values ​​based on a local policy. For example, the network device may determine at least one AI function based on the policy that "at least one of the parameters and parameter values ​​of different AI functions is different."

[0283] For example, assume that terminal #1 reports that the parameter values ​​it supports for parameter A are: {a1x, a2x, a3x, a1y, a2y, a3y}, the parameter values ​​it supports for parameter B are: {b1x, b2x, b3x, b1y, b2y, b3y}, and the parameter values ​​it supports for parameter C are: {c1x, c2x, c3x, c1y, c2y, c3y}; terminal #2 can report that the parameter values ​​it supports for parameter A are: {a1x, a2x, a3x, a 1z, a2z, a3z}, the parameter values ​​it supports for parameter B are: {b1x, b2x, b3x, b1z, b2z, b3z}, and the parameter values ​​it supports for parameter C are: {c1x, c2x, c3x, c1z, c2z, c3z}. Since terminal A and terminal B support parameter values ​​{a1x,a2x,a3x} for parameter A, {b1x,b2x,b3x} for parameter B, and {c1x,c2x,c3x} for parameter C, parameter A and the corresponding parameter values ​​{a1x,a2x,a3x} for parameter A, parameter B and the corresponding parameter values ​​{b1x,b2x,b3x} for parameter B, and parameter C and the corresponding parameter values ​​{c1x,c2x,c3x} for parameter C can be divided into one AI function; at the same time, since terminal A supports parameter values ​​{a1y,a2y,a3y} for parameter A and { b1y, b2y, b3y}, and for C, {c1y, c2y, c3y} is supported simultaneously, then parameter A and its corresponding parameter value {a1y, a2y, a3y}, parameter B and its corresponding parameter value {b1y, b2y, b3y}, and parameter C and its corresponding parameter value {c1y, c2y, c3y} can be classified as one AI function. Similarly, parameter A and its corresponding parameter value {a1z, a2z, a3z}, parameter B and its corresponding parameter value {b1z, b2z, b3z}, and parameter C and its corresponding parameter value {c1z, c2z, c3z} can be classified as one AI function. Optionally, the at least one AI function determined by the network device in this step can be as shown in Table 1 above.

[0284] Step 2205: The network device assigns corresponding identifiers to different AI functions.

[0285] For example, a network device can assign the identifier Functionality X to "AI function: parameter A, parameter value corresponding to parameter A {a1x, a2x, a3x}, parameter B, parameter value corresponding to parameter B {b1x, b2x, b3x}, parameter C, parameter value corresponding to parameter C {c1x, c2x, c3x}"; assign the identifier Functionality Y to "AI function: parameter A, parameter value corresponding to parameter A {a1y, a2y, a3y}, parameter B, parameter value corresponding to parameter B {b1y, b2y, b3y}, parameter C, parameter value corresponding to parameter C {c1y, c2y, c3y}"; and assign the identifier Functionality Z to "AI function: parameter A, parameter value corresponding to parameter A {a1z, a2z, a3z}, parameter B, parameter value corresponding to parameter B {b1z, b2z, b3z}, parameter C, parameter value corresponding to parameter C {c1z, c2z, c3z}". Optionally, the identifiers assigned by the network device to different AI functions in this step may be as shown in Table 1 above.

[0286] Step 2206: The network device indicates to the terminal an identifier corresponding to at least one AI function, at least one parameter corresponding to each AI function, and a parameter value of the at least one parameter.

[0287] Step 2207: The terminal reports the first identifier.

[0288] Step 2208: The network device sends fourth information based on the first identifier, where the fourth information is used to perform AI function management on the AI ​​function.

[0289] Step 2209: The terminal manages the AI ​​function based on the fourth information.

[0477] Step 5106: The terminal receives the fourth information sent by the network device.

[0478] Step 5107: The terminal manages the AI ​​function based on the fourth information.

[0479] Optional implementations of steps 5101 to 5105 can be found in the above embodiments.

[0480] In some embodiments, the above method may include the method described in the above embodiments of the communication system side, terminal side, network device side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0481] The communication method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S5101 to S5105. For example, step S5101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and step S5102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0482] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other embodiments or other examples.

[0483] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method.

[0484] An AI feature (an AI feature here can be an AI use case, such as AI-based CSI compression or AI-based CSI prediction) can include multiple AI functionalities. An AI functionality corresponds to a series of parameters. For example, for AI-based beam management, two functionalities are defined. One functionality corresponds to the number of beams input to the AI ​​model being 4, 8, or 16. The other AI functionality corresponds to the number of beams input to the AI ​​model being 32, 64, and so on. Related operations based on AI functionality include functionality identification (AI function authentication) and lifecycle management based on AI functionality, including functionality selection, configuration, and switching.

[0485] Method 1:

[0486] The AI ​​functionality is predefined in the protocol. The AI ​​functionality includes the parameters included in this AI functionality and the corresponding values ​​of this parameter.

[0487] And there is a preset logo for each AI functionality.

[0488] When the terminal needs to perform AI functionality identification, it directly reports the corresponding identifier of the supported AI functionality. For example, if UE1 supports functionality X and functionality Y, then UE1 can directly report support for functionality X and functionality Y without reporting the specific parameter value range supported.

[0489] Configuration and switching of AI functionality are also based on this AI functionality identifier. For example, if UE1 supports {Functionality X, Functionality Y, Functionality Z}, the network will directly configure and activate functionality X without configuring the specific value ranges of parameters A, B, and C.

[0490] Method 2:

[0491] The protocol predefines the relevant parameters that determine AI functionality. For example, for AI features, the protocol specifies the relevant parameters that determine AI functionality as parameter A, parameter B, and parameter C.

[0492] The terminal reports the value ranges of the relevant parameters it supports. For example, UE1 reports that the value range of parameter A is {a1x, a2x, a3x, a 1y, a2y, a3y}, the value range of parameter B is {b1x, b2x, b3x, b1y, b2y, b3y}, and the value range of parameter C is {{c1x, c2x, c3x, c1y, c2y, c3y}. UE2 reports that the value range of the relevant parameters it supports is {a1x, a2x, a3x, a 1z, a2z, a3z}, the value range of parameter B is {b1x, b2x, b3x, b1z, b2z, b3z}, and the value range of parameter C is {{c1x, c2x, c3x, c1z, c2z, c3z}.

[0493] The network determines the parameter value range corresponding to the AI ​​functionality based on the terminal's report and assigns the corresponding identifier.

[0494] The subsequent lifecycle management of AI functionality is performed based on the identifier assigned by the network. For example, the network can directly indicate the activation of functionality X or functionality Y.

[0495] Method 3:

[0496] The terminal side independently establishes Functionality and reports the parameters and value ranges corresponding to the functionality. For example, for the same AI feature, UE1 reports that it supports two functionalities, and the parameters corresponding to the two functionalities are A, B, and C, and reports the value ranges corresponding to these parameters.

[0497] The parameters corresponding to the two supported functionaities reported by UE2 are E, F, and G.

[0498] The terminal side can identify the functionality independently, or the network side can identify the functionality reported by the terminal

[0499] Subsequent functionality-based lifecycle management can be performed based on the identifier.

[0500] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

In actual implementation, they may be fully or partially integrated into a physical entity, or they may be physically separated.

Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits, and the functions of some or all of the units or modules can be realized by designing the hardware circuits.

Taking a field programmable gate array (FPGA) as an example, it can include a large number of logic gate circuits, and the connection relationship between the logic gate circuits is configured by configuring the configuration file, thereby realizing the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. All units or modules of the above devices can be realized in the form of software called by the processor, or in the form of hardware circuits, or in part by the form of software called by the processor, and the rest by hardware circuits.

The logical relationship of the above-mentioned hardware circuit is fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and implementing the hardware circuit configuration can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. In addition, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc.
