[0180] 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 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.

[0181] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein, for example, are implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein.

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.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0184] The relevant concepts mentioned in this application are briefly described below.

[0185] 1. 5G network and service data quality of service (QoS) classification and transmission

[0186] The current 5G network architecture controls and transmits grammatical data through control plane functions and user plane transmission.

[0187] 2. Semantic Communication System

[0188] Semantic communication can be divided into two categories: semantic-oriented communication (focusing on the semantic level) and goal-oriented communication (focusing on the effectiveness level).

[0189] The main changes in semantic communication systems are in the data processing stages before sending and after receiving. Traditional source coding seeks a way to convert source data into short codes. At the same time, because the message sent is blind to the underlying meaning, a good source coding method means that it can handle more possibilities of source data. However, in semantic communication, "information" needs to be redefined and a semantic representation module is introduced before encoding, which is responsible for capturing the core information embedded in the source data and filtering unnecessary redundant information. In particular, the semantic filtering module in target-oriented communication is responsible for further filtering information that is not related to downstream intelligent tasks.

[0190] On the basis of semantic-oriented communication, goal-oriented communication aims to enable the communication participants involved to jointly complete a communication goal or task. Three levels of communication: grammatical level, semantic level, and effectiveness level. In semantic-oriented communication, semantic extraction focuses on semantic information, while in goal-oriented communication, it is necessary to capture pragmatic information. Pragmatic information can be regarded as part of all semantic information that can be conveyed by grammatical information and is related to the specific goal of communication. For various scenarios where the communication goals change frequently, it is particularly important to build local knowledge each time to further filter out irrelevant semantic information. Therefore, in goal-oriented communication, the goal or task plays an important role in semantic extraction. Goal-oriented communication focuses on the effectiveness level, aiming to complete the task in an expected manner given limited network resources, while semantic-oriented communication focuses on the accuracy of semantic information at the semantic level. In addition, similar to semantic-oriented communication, the local knowledge and communication goals of all communication participants in goal-oriented communication need to be consistent, otherwise the generated semantic noise will lead to task failure.

[0191] 3. Semantic Communication System Model

[0192] Mainly include:

[0193] 1) Semantic knowledge base (also called semantic library), which is an important module introduced to distinguish semantic communication from classical communication. It extracts semantic background knowledge from the source or destination, and extracts semantic feature knowledge from the channel propagation environment. Background / feature knowledge serves as prior information to provide auxiliary guidance for semantic encoding / decoding. Background / feature knowledge has multiple representation forms, such as knowledge graphs, semantic labels, downstream task-related knowledge, trained / optimized parametric models or non-parametric models, channel models, and propagation environment characteristics.

[0194] 2) Semantic encoder. With the help of the semantic knowledge base, the semantic encoder extracts semantically relevant features of the source message and features related to the transmission task, rather than probabilistic information. In addition, the semantic encoder guides the grammatical encoder to appropriately encode the semantic features according to the semantic characteristics of the source and the channel characteristics to combat interference and noise in transmission. Therefore, the semantic encoder focuses on both the semantic features of the source and the semantic features of the channel. Some scholars also define the extraction of task-related features as semantic filtering or semantic post-processing, which refers to the selection of semantic features that are adapted to downstream tasks in global features, but the logical relationship between semantic feature extraction and semantic filtering needs further study.

[0195] 3) Semantic decoder: According to the transmission requirements of the destination, the semantic decoder chooses to reconstruct the source message (i.e., for human perception) or perform downstream intelligent tasks (i.e., for machines or other conscious entities). When performing downstream tasks, it is usually necessary to integrate a variety of different environmental information to make decisions, such as autonomous driving environment perception algorithms. Therefore, it is necessary to perform multimodal semantic information fusion based on the semantic features of different modal sources with the assistance of a semantic knowledge base, and then make decisions through a decision model.

[0196] The current research on mobile communication systems and semantic communication does not have a specific implementation method, and the implementation process needs to be improved.

[0199] The embodiments of the present application provide an information determination, transmission method, apparatus and communication device to achieve semantic communication.

[0200] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the method and the device solve the problem in a similar principle, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0201] The network structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is first described as follows.

[0202] An embodiment of the present application provides a communication device, including: a first network element and a second network element connected to the first network element;

[0203] The first network element is used to obtain the service quality policy information corresponding to the target service from the second network element and send it to the terminal;

[0204] The second network element is used to determine the service quality policy information and send it to the first network element.

[0205] It should be noted that the first network element and the second network element can be independently configured or combined in the same device.

[0206] Optionally, the first network element may be understood as a flow management network element, and the second network element may be understood as a QoS policy network element.

[0207] It should be noted that the flow management network element can manage the data flow, including flow establishment, flow deletion, flow update, etc.; the QoS policy network element mainly implements the semantic library selection strategy, semantic encoding and decoding strategy, data flow strategy, data flow service assurance strategy, etc.

[0208] Optionally, the first network element and the second network element are deployed on an access network side or a core network side.

[0209] Optionally, in one implementation, the first network element is further used to receive a service request sent by a terminal, and obtain subscription information of the terminal based on the service request.

[0210] Optionally, in one implementation, the first network element is further used to configure uplink resources required for semantic transmission corresponding to the target service according to the service quality policy information.

[0211] It should be noted that through the cooperation of the first network element and the second network element, it is possible to configure service quality policy information for the target service to ensure that the terminal can encode semantic information based on the configured service quality policy information and realize the transmission of semantic data streams, thereby realizing semantic communication.

[0212] Optionally, the present application embodiment provides a complete network architecture such as Figure 2 shown.

[0213] Taking the example of the flow management network element and the QoS policy network element being located on the core network side, there are functional modules matching the flow management network element and the QoS policy network element on the terminal and the access network side, respectively, which are the flow management functional module and the QoS policy functional module. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the functions of the terminal and the access network are enhanced, and the user plane (UP) on the core network side and the access network side is used for the transmission of data flows.

[0214] Further Figure 3 As shown, it is Figure 2 The difference is that RAN functions are service-oriented, that is, RAN functions interact through bus connections.

[0215] There are two ways to connect to the UP on the access network side. One is to manage the UP through the flow management function. Figure 3 , another one is Figure 4 As shown, UP is connected to the service bus.

[0216] It should be noted that the same is true for the UP on the CN side. Optionally, the connection modes of the CN and the UP in the RAN may be the same or different.

[0217] Based on the above architecture, the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail as follows.

[0218] like Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an information determination method, which is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0219] Step S501, receiving service quality policy information corresponding to a target service from a first network element, wherein the service quality policy information includes at least one of the following: a semantic library selection policy, a semantic encoding and decoding policy, a data flow policy, and a data flow service assurance policy;

[0220] Step S502, determining the data encoding information used for the target service transmission according to the service quality policy information, the data encoding information including at least one of the following: a semantic library identifier, a semantic encoding identifier, and the data encoding information is used to encode the semantic communication data stream of the target service.

[0221] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application determines the data coding information used for target service transmission based on the service quality policy information corresponding to the acquired target service, so as to realize the encoding of the semantic communication data stream of the target service based on the data coding information, thereby realizing semantic communication.

[0222] It should be noted that when the first network element is located on the core network side, the first network element needs to send the service quality policy information to the terminal through the access network node; when the first network element is located on the access network side, the first network element can communicate directly with the terminal and send the service quality policy information to the terminal.

[0223] Optionally, in one implementation, before the terminal obtains the service quality policy information corresponding to the target service, the terminal further includes:

[0224] A service request is sent to the first network element, where the service request includes at least one of the following: a terminal identifier and a service request identifier corresponding to the target service.

[0225] That is to say, the service quality policy information is sent based on the service request of the terminal. Optionally, the service request may only include the terminal identifier and / or the service request identifier corresponding to the target service, so that the first network element clearly knows which service request is from which terminal. Of course, in order to better assist the network side in determining the service quality policy information, optionally, in one implementation, the service request also includes terminal support capability information, and the terminal support capability information includes at least one of the following:

[0226] A11, a list of semantic library identifiers of the target service supported by the terminal;

[0227] Optionally, the semantic library identifier list includes at least one semantic library identifier.

[0228] It should be noted that by informing the network side of the list of semantic library identifiers of the target services supported by the terminal, the network side can make a selection based on the list of semantic library identifiers when selecting a semantic library, thereby avoiding the situation where the semantic library selected by the network side is a semantic library not supported by the terminal.

[0229] A12, a list of semantic codec identifiers of the target service supported by the terminal;

[0230] Optionally, the semantic codec identifier list includes at least one semantic codec identifier.

[0231] It should be noted that by informing the network side of the list of semantic encoding and decryption identifiers of the target services supported by the terminal, the network side can make a selection based on the list of semantic encoding and decryption identifiers when selecting a semantic code, thereby avoiding the situation where the semantic code selected by the network side is a semantic code that is not supported by the terminal.

[0232] The process of obtaining the service quality policy information is described below.

[0233] Optionally, in one implementation, before the first network element sends the service quality policy information corresponding to the target service to the terminal, it is also necessary to implement:

[0234] receiving a service request sent by the terminal;

[0235] According to the service request, service quality policy information corresponding to the target service is obtained.

[0236] Optionally, in one implementation, the specific implementation of acquiring the service quality policy information corresponding to the target service according to the service request includes:

[0237] Acquiring the contract information of the terminal according to the service request;

[0238] Sending a service policy request to the second network element, where the service policy request includes the subscription information of the terminal, or the service policy request includes the subscription information of the terminal and the terminal support capability information;

[0239] Receive service quality policy information corresponding to the target service sent by the second network element.

[0240] It should be noted that the contract information of the terminal is usually stored in UDM, that is, the first network element needs to send a contract data query request to UDM based on the service request of the terminal, and UDM feeds back the requested contract information of the terminal to the first network element according to the request of the first network element.

[0241] It should be noted here that the service request may include the terminal support capability information or may not include the terminal support capability information. When the service request does not include the terminal support capability information, the contract information obtained by the first network element should include the contract information.

[0242] Optionally, after receiving the service policy request from the first network element, the second network element needs to determine the service quality policy information corresponding to the target service based on the service policy request and feed it back to the first network element.

[0243] It should be noted that in order to ensure the smooth transmission of the semantic communication data stream, the first network element needs to determine the uplink transmission configuration required for the semantic transmission corresponding to the target service according to the service quality policy information; and send the uplink transmission configuration to the user plane network element on the core network side. The user plane network element performs corresponding configuration based on the uplink transmission configuration to achieve the establishment of the core network side path; correspondingly, for the access network side, the access network node establishes an uplink path according to the service quality policy information. In this way, the uplink communication paths on the core network side and the access network side are established, and after the terminal encodes the semantic communication data stream of the target service according to the data coding information, it can send the encoded semantic communication data stream of the target service based on the uplink transmission configuration.

[0244] Optionally, in order to ensure that the network side can smoothly decode the semantic communication data stream, the first network element may need to know the data encoding information adopted by the terminal encoding, that is, the terminal needs to send the data encoding information to the first network element.

[0245] Optionally, in one implementation, the data encoding information also includes: configuration parameters, and the configuration parameters are used to assist decoding.

[0246] Optionally, the embodiments of the present application should also be able to realize the transmission of downlink data. In order to ensure the transmission of downlink data, the first network element needs to perform downlink transmission configuration. Optionally, in one implementation method, the first network element determines the downlink transmission configuration required for the semantic transmission corresponding to the target service based on the first information; and sends the downlink transmission configuration to the user plane network element on the core network side. The user plane network element performs corresponding configuration based on the uplink transmission configuration to realize the establishment of the path on the core network side; accordingly, for the access network side, the access network node establishes a downlink path according to the service quality policy information. In this way, the downlink communication paths on the core network side and the access network side are established, and the terminal can receive downlink data based on the downlink transmission configuration.

[0247] Optionally, the first information includes one of the following:

[0248] A21, the service quality policy information;

[0249] A22, the service quality policy information and second information, the second information includes at least one of the following: data encoding information used for the target service transmission, and network side transmission configuration.

[0250] It should be noted that the network-side transmission configuration communication refers to the transmission configuration on the access network side, which may include relevant configurations that can ensure data stream transmission, such as: bearer configuration corresponding to the data, physical layer scheduling configuration, etc.

[0251] It should be noted that the first network element mainly obtains the downlink transmission configuration based on the service quality policy information; of course, when obtaining the downlink transmission configuration, the first network element may further refer to the data coding information and / or network-side transmission configuration used for the target service transmission.

[0252] The specific application examples of the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0253] like Figure 6 The specific implementation process shown includes:

[0254] Step 601: UE initiates a service request;

[0255] The service request includes a terminal identifier (eg, UE ID) and a service request identifier corresponding to the target service;

[0256] Optionally, the service request further includes a list of semantic library identifiers of the target service supported by the terminal and / or a list of semantic codec identifiers of the target service supported by the terminal.

[0257] It should be noted that, for example, if the RAN is an edge network or a specific network, after receiving a service request in step 601, the RAN sends the service request to the flow management network element. Specifically, the RAN may send the semantic library identifier list of the target service supported by the terminal and / or the semantic encoding / decoding identifier list of the target service supported by the terminal to the flow management network element.

[0258] Step 602: After receiving the service request, the flow management network element communicates with the UDM to query the subscription information of the terminal;

[0259] Step 603: The flow management network element sends a service policy request to the QoS policy network element. The service policy request includes the subscription information of the terminal, or the service policy request includes the subscription information of the terminal and the terminal support capability information;

[0260] Step 604: The QoS policy network element obtains the service quality policy information corresponding to the target service according to the subscription information, or according to the subscription information and the terminal support capability information;

[0261] The service quality policy information includes at least one of the following: semantic library selection policy, semantic encoding / decoding policy, data flow policy, data flow service guarantee policy.

[0262] Step 605: The QoS policy network element sends the service quality policy information to the flow management network element;

[0263] Step 606: The flow management network element distributes the service quality policy information to the access network node.

[0264] Step 607: The flow management network element communicates with the user plane network element according to the service quality policy information to configure the uplink resources required for semantic transmission;

[0265] Specifically, the flow management network element determines the uplink transmission configuration required for semantic transmission corresponding to the target service according to the service quality policy information, and sends the uplink transmission configuration to the user plane network element, so that the user plane network element configures the uplink multi-dimensional heterogeneous resources for semantic transmission.

[0266] Step 608: The RAN distributes the determined service quality policy information to the UE.

[0267] Step 609: The UE determines the data encoding information used for the target service transmission according to the service quality policy information;

[0268] Step 610: The UE sends the data encoding information to the RAN;

[0269] Optionally, in addition to including: semantic library identifier and / or semantic encoding identifier, the data encoding information further includes: configuration parameters for assisting decoding.

[0270] Step 611: The UE encodes and transmits the semantic communication data stream of the target service based on the data encoding information.

[0271] Step 612: The access network node sends the data coding information determined by the UE and the transmission configuration on the access network side to the flow management network element;

[0272] Step 613: The flow management network element communicates with the user plane network element according to the service quality policy information, the data coding information of the UE and the transmission configuration of the access network side, and configures the downlink resources required for the semantic transmission;

[0273] Specifically, the flow management network element determines the downlink transmission configuration required for the semantic transmission corresponding to the target service based on the service quality policy information, the UE's data coding information and the transmission configuration on the access network side, and sends the downlink transmission configuration to the user plane network element, so that the user plane network element configures the downlink multi-dimensional heterogeneous resources for the semantic transmission.

[0274] Step 614: The user plane network element communicates with the terminal and sends downlink data to the terminal;

[0275] Specifically, the access network node uses the configured multi-dimensional heterogeneous resources to send downlink data.
