[0116] The terminal device and the network device involved in this application are introduced below.

[0117] A terminal device, also known as a user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), customer premise equipment (CPE), etc. A terminal device is a device that includes a wireless communication function (providing voice / data connectivity to users). For example, a handheld device, in-vehicle device, machine type communication (MTC) terminal, etc. with a wireless connection function. Currently, terminal devices can include: mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, handheld computers, mobile internet devices (MID), wearable devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, or wireless terminals in smart homes, etc. For example, the wireless terminal in self-driving can be a drone, helicopter, or airplane, etc. For example, the wireless terminal in the vehicle network can be an in-vehicle device, a whole vehicle device, an in-vehicle module, a vehicle, or a ship, etc. The wireless terminal in industrial control can be a camera, a robot, or a robotic arm, etc. The wireless terminal in a smart home can be a TV, an air conditioner, a floor sweeper, a speaker, or a set-top box, etc.

[0118] It should be noted that the terminal device can be a device or apparatus with a chip, or a device or apparatus integrated with a circuit, or a chip, module, or control unit in the devices or apparatuses shown above. Specifically, this application does not make any limitations.

[0119] A network device is a device deployed in a radio access network to provide wireless communication functions for terminal devices. The network device can also be referred to as a radio access network (RAN) entity, an access node, a network node, or a communication device, etc.

[0120] Specifically, the network device can be an access network device for a cellular system related to the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP). For example, a fourth-generation (4G) mobile communication system, or a 5G mobile communication system. The network device can also be an access network device in an open RAN (O-RAN or ORAN) or a cloud radio access network (CRAN). Or, the network device can also be an access network device in a communication system obtained by integrating two or more of the above communication systems.

[0121] Network devices include, but are not limited to: evolved Node B (eNB), radio network controller (RNC), Node B (NB), base station controller (BSC), base transceiver station (BTS), home base station (e.g., home evolved NodeB, or home Node B, HNB), baseband unit (BBU), access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WIFI) system, macro base station, micro base station, wireless relay node, donor node, wireless controller in a CRAN scenario, wireless backhaul node, transmission point (TP) or transmission and receiving point (TRP). The network device can also be an access network device in a 5G mobile communication system. For example, the next generation base station (gNB) in a new radio (NR) system, TRP, TP, or one or a group (including multiple antenna panels) of antenna panels of a base station in a 5G mobile communication system. Or, the network device can also be a network node that constitutes a gNB or a transmission point. For example, a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a CU-control plane (CP), a CU-user plane (UP), or a radio unit (RU), etc. The CU and the DU can be set separately, or can also be included in the same network element. For example, the BBU. The RU can be included in a radio frequency device or a radio frequency unit. For example, in a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH). Or, the network device can also be a server, a wearable device, a vehicle or an in-vehicle device, etc. For example, in V2X technology, the network device can be a road side unit (RSU).

[0122] It should be noted that in different systems, the CU (or CU-CP and CU-UP), DU or RU may also have different names, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings. For example, in the ORAN system, the CU may also be referred to as an open centralized unit (O-CU) or an open CU, the DU may also be referred to as an open distributed unit (O-DU), the centralized unit-control plane (CU-CP) may also be referred to as an open centralized unit-control plane (O-CU-CP) or an open CU-CP, the centralized unit-user plane (CU-UP) may also be referred to as an open centralized unit-user plane (O-CU-UP) or an open CU-UP, and the RU may also be referred to as an open radio unit (O-RU). Specifically, the present application does not make any limitations. Any one of the CU, CU-CP, CU-UP, DU, and RU in the present application may be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

[0123] Optionally, for network elements in the ORAN system, each network element may implement the protocol layer functions as shown in Table 1 below.

[0124] Table 1

[0125]

[0126] It should be noted that the network device may be one or more of the network elements shown in Table 1 above. Specifically, the present application does not make any limitations.

[0127] It should be noted that Table 1 above is merely an example. In actual applications, the protocol layer functions supported by each network element are not limited. For example, each network element may support more protocol layer functions, or specifically configure the protocol layer functions supported by each network element according to the actual situation. Specifically, the present application does not make any limitations.

[0128] The architectures of the CU and DU of the access network device are introduced below. The access network device includes at least one CU and at least one DU. Optionally, the access network device further includes at least one RU.

[0129] The following takes the access network device including a CU and a DU as an example for introduction. The CU has some functions of the core network. The CU may include a CU-CP and a CU-UP. The CU and the DU can be configured according to the protocol layer functions of the wireless network they implement. For example, the CU is configured to implement the functions of the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer and the protocol layers above (such as the RRC layer and / or the SDAP layer). The DU is configured to implement the protocol layers below the PDCP layer (such as the RLC layer, the MAC layer, and / or the physical (PHY) layer). Another example is that the CU is configured to implement the protocol layers above the PDCP layer (such as the RRC layer and / or the SDAP layer), and the DU is configured to implement the protocol layers at and below the PDCP layer (such as the RLC layer, the MAC layer, and / or the PHY layer, etc.).

[0130] When the CU includes a CU-CP and a CU-UP, the CU-CP is used to implement the control plane function of the CU, and the CU-UP is used to implement the user plane function of the CU. For example, when the CU is configured to implement the functions of the PDCP layer, the RRC layer, and the SDAP layer, the CU-CP is used to implement the functions of the RRC layer and the control plane function of the PDCP layer, and the CU-UP is used to implement the functions of the SDAP layer and the user plane function of the PDCP layer.

[0131] The CU-CP can interact with the network element in the core network for implementing the control plane function. The network element in the core network for implementing the control plane function can be an access and mobility function network element, such as the access and mobility management function (AMF) in the 5G mobile communication system. The access and mobility function network element is responsible for mobility management in the mobile network, such as location update of the terminal device, registration of the terminal device to the network, handover of the terminal device, etc. The CU-UP can interact with the network element in the core network for implementing the user plane function. The network element in the core network for implementing the user plane function, for example, the user plane function (UPF) in the 5G mobile communication system, is responsible for forwarding and receiving data in the terminal device.

[0132] The above configurations of the CU and DU are merely examples, and the functions of the CU and DU can also be configured as needed. For example, the CU or DU can be configured to have the functions of more protocol layers, or the CU or DU can be configured to have partial processing functions of the protocol layers. For example, some functions of the RLC layer and the protocol layers above the RLC layer are set in the CU, and the remaining functions of the RLC layer and the protocol layers below the RLC layer are set in the DU. Another example is that the functions of the CU or DU can be divided according to the service type or other system requirements. For example, divided by latency, the functions that require meeting relatively low latency requirements for processing time are set in the DU, and the functions that do not need to meet this latency requirement are set in the CU.

[0133] The DU and RU can cooperate to jointly implement the functions of the PHY layer. One DU can be connected to one or more RUs. The functions of the DU and RU can be configured in various ways according to the design. For example, the DU is configured to implement the baseband function, and the RU is configured to implement the mid-RF function. Another example is that the DU is configured to implement the high-layer functions in the PHY layer, and the RU is configured to implement the low-layer functions in the PHY layer or implement the low-layer functions and the RF function. The high-layer functions in the physical layer can include a part of the functions of the physical layer, and this part of the functions is closer to the MAC layer. The low-layer functions in the physical layer can include another part of the functions of the physical layer, and this part of the functions is closer to the mid-RF side.

[0134] Optionally, the network device can also be a core network device. The core network device is responsible for access control, registration management, service management, mobility management, etc. for the terminal device to access the network. For example, the core network device is the AMF.

[0135] It should be noted that the network device can be the devices or apparatuses shown above, or components (such as chips), modules, or units in the devices or apparatuses shown above. Specifically, this application does not make a limitation.

[0136] The combination of AI technology and communication technology depends on deploying neural network models in the wireless network and performing corresponding life cycle management. And in the model life cycle management, a large amount of data collection work is involved. Therefore, how to perform data collection between the terminal device and the network device is a problem worthy of consideration. This application provides corresponding technical solutions, and specific details can refer to the relevant introductions in the following embodiments.

[0137] The technical solutions of this application will be introduced below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0138] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the task indication method in the embodiments of this application. Please refer to Figure 2 , The method includes:

[0139] 201. The network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device. The first configuration information is used to configure one or more data collection tasks. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first configuration information from the network device.

[0140] Optionally, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0141] 1. Identifiers of each data collection task among one or more data collection tasks;

[0142] Specifically, each data collection task has a corresponding identifier, which is used to uniquely identify the data collection task. Different data collection tasks correspond to different identifiers.

[0145] 3. Location information corresponding to one or more data collection tasks;

[0146] The location information corresponding to the one or more data collection tasks is used to identify the data collection scope corresponding to the one or more data collection tasks. That is, each data collection task has a corresponding data collection scope. Optionally, the data collection scope can be characterized by geographical coordinates, cell identifiers, beam identifiers, etc.

[0147] 4. Data accuracy corresponding to one or more data collection tasks;

[0148] The data accuracy corresponding to the one or more data collection tasks is used to indicate the accuracy of the data reported by the terminal device corresponding to the one or more data collection tasks. For example, the data accuracy includes the number of bits representing a value.

[0149] 5. Data types corresponding to one or more data collection tasks;

[0150] Optionally, the data type is test data, inference output data, or training data.

[0151] 6. Total data volume corresponding to one or more data collection tasks;

[0152] The total data volume corresponding to the one or more data collection tasks is the data volume corresponding to the one or more data collection tasks. The total data volume is used to indicate the total amount of data required to be collected for the one or more data collection tasks. Specifically, the network device can indicate the amount of data required to be collected for each data collection task by the terminal device, and the amount of data required to be collected for different data collection tasks can be different.

[0153] 7. Time information corresponding to one or more data collection tasks;

[0154] The time information is the duration corresponding to the one or more data collection tasks. For example, a period of time after a certain time reference point. For example, a period of time starting from the transmission moment when the network device sends the first configuration information. That is, the terminal device executes the one or more data collection tasks within this duration and reports the obtained data.

[0155] Optionally, the first configuration information is carried in the RRC message.

[0156] It should be noted that some parameters in the content of the first configuration information shown above can also be carried and sent in other signaling. For example, the priority, location information, total data volume, and time information of one or more data collection tasks can also be carried by MAC CE or DCI. These parameters can be associated with the one or more data collection tasks.

[0157] 202. The network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device. The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to execute the target data collection task. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first indication information from the network device.

[0158] Among them, the target data collection task belongs to one or more data collection tasks configured by the first configuration information. Optionally, the target data collection task includes one or more data collection tasks.

[0159] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: User Group ID (UE_Group_ID), Data_collection_request, or Report_config_ID.

[0160] Among them, the User Group ID is the identifier of the user group that executes the target data collection task, and the terminal device belongs to this user group. The Data_collection_request is used to request the execution of the target data collection task. For example, the Data_collection_request occupies Y bits, and these Y bits are used to indicate the target data collection task.

[0161] The Report_config_ID is used to indicate the data reporting method and / or data reporting parameters. Optionally, the data reporting methods include: periodic reporting, semi-static reporting, dynamic scheduling reporting, or event-triggered reporting.

[0166] Optionally, the first indication information is carried in an RRC message, a MAC CE, or a DCI.

[0167] Optionally, Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment further includes step 202a. Step 202a can be executed after step 201 and before step 202.

[0168] 202a. The network device sends second indication information to the terminal device. The second indication information is used to activate at least one of one or more data collection tasks. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the second indication information from the network device.

[0169] The target data collection task indicated by the first indication information belongs to at least one of the data collection tasks activated by the second indication information. One or more data collection tasks activated by the second indication information are in a candidate state. The network device can schedule the terminal device to execute the target data collection task through the first indication information in step 202 above.

[0170] In this implementation, the first configuration information is carried in an RRC message, the second indication information is carried in a MAC CE, and the first indication information is carried in a DCI. This DCI can be obtained by scrambling the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) using a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). After the terminal device completes the DCI detection, it determines whether to execute the target data collection task.

[0171] Optionally, the first indication information is a bitmap, and the bits in the bitmap correspond to data collection tasks. The bits in the bitmap are used to indicate whether to activate the data collection task corresponding to the bit. For example, one bit in the bitmap corresponds to one data collection task, and different bits correspond to different data collection tasks. When the value of one bit in the bitmap is 0, it indicates that the data collection task corresponding to the bit is not activated; when the value of one bit in the bitmap is 1, it indicates that the data collection task corresponding to the bit is activated. Alternatively, when the value of one bit in the bitmap is 1, it indicates that the data collection task corresponding to the bit is not activated; when the value of one bit in the bitmap is 0, it indicates that the data collection task corresponding to the bit is activated.

[0174] For example, the first configuration information includes data accuracy, data type, data volume, and time information of one or more data collection tasks. The terminal device determines the target data collection task according to the first indication information. Then, the terminal device determines the data accuracy, data type, data volume, and time information of the target data collection task according to the first configuration information. The terminal device performs the data collection task according to the data accuracy, data type, data volume, and time information of the target data collection task to obtain target data. The data accuracy of the target data is the data accuracy of the target data collection task configured by the first configuration information. The type of the target data is the data type of the target data collection task configured by the first configuration information. The target data may be obtained within the duration indicated by the time information of the target data collection task.

[0175] Optionally, Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment further includes step 204. Step 204 may be executed after step 203.

Then, the terminal device receives first indication information from the network device, where the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to execute a target data collection task, and the target data collection task belongs to one or more data collection tasks. Thus, it is convenient for the terminal device to execute the target data collection task based on the first configuration information and the first indication information, and realize data collection.

[0179] The present application also provides another embodiment, which is similar to the Figure 2 shown embodiment.

[0187] 302. The terminal device sends a confirmation message to the network device, and the confirmation message is used to confirm the first request. Correspondingly, the network device receives the confirmation message from the terminal device.

[0188] In other words, when the terminal device sends a confirmation message to the network device, it means that the terminal device can execute the one or more data collection tasks.

[0190] In a possible implementation, the terminal device is in the idle state. The terminal device can send the confirmation message to the network device through a random access message. For example, the terminal device sends the confirmation message in Message 3. Further, in order to reduce the centralized random access of terminal devices in the idle state, the network device can configure multiple random access occasion (RO) resources in the broadcast message. The terminal device selects the corresponding RO resources in a manner such as taking the modulo of the RNTI and initiates a random access to the network device.

[0204] For example, as Figure 4As shown, the first request is carried in the SIB, and the network device broadcasts the SIB. The SIB includes grant-free transmission resources for data reporting associated with the one or more data collection tasks, a data reporting format matching the grant-free transmission resources, or one or more sets of data collection parameters.

[0205] Based on this implementation, optionally, Figure 3 The embodiment shown further includes steps 307 to 308. Steps 307 to 308 can be executed after step 302.

[0219] 502. The second network device sends a session establishment response to the first network device. Correspondingly, the first network device receives the session establishment response from the second network device.

[0220] The session establishment response is used to indicate that the data collection session is established.

Optionally, the session establishment response further includes session parameters of the data collection session. For example, the data collection session identifier. It can be seen that this shared channel is a task - level shared channel. In a distributed training scenario, such as federated learning, a large number of users, each acting as a client, upload the data obtained by locally executing data collection tasks to the first network device.

[0232] This radio bearer is associated with the shared channel. It should be noted that the above steps 503 to 504 are merely a possible implementation. In practical applications, the terminal device may also directly send the application request to the second network device. Then, the second network device instructs the first network device to configure a radio bearer for the terminal device. This radio bearer is associated with the shared channel.

[0239] 507. The first network device sends the first data to the second network device through the shared channel. Correspondingly, the second network device receives the first data from the first network device through the shared channel.

[0240] Specifically, after the first network device receives the first data through this radio bearer, this radio bearer is associated with the shared channel corresponding to the data collection session. Therefore, the first network device can send this first data to the second network device through this shared channel.

[0241] In the embodiments of the present application, the first network device establishes a shared channel for the data collection task, and the data collected by different users participating in the same data collection task can be uploaded through the shared channel, avoiding the signaling overhead of session establishment and maintenance at the user level.
