[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0030] In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. The "and / or" in this document is merely a relationship describing associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. The words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit that they are different.

[0031] It should be noted that in this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to give examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0032] Wireless communication systems are widely used in people's daily life and production. Among them, the 5th generation mobile communication system (5G) is applied in fields such as smartphones, the Internet of Things, and industrial Internet. The large-scale application of 5G new radio (NR) has accelerated the transformation of the economic society towards digitalization, networking, and intelligence, and promoted the network to enter a new era of all things interconnected. Moreover, the rapidly emerging application requirements in aspects such as smart cities, smart transportation, and smart industrial production have continuously enhanced the development trends of network device capabilities differentiation, network function diversification, and network control intelligence, further promoting the arrival of the 6th generation mobile communication system (6G) of all things intelligent connection. In typical 6G application scenarios represented by smart cities, smart transportation, and smart homes, there are a large number of intelligent automation devices with highly differentiated capabilities, and the communication requirements for aspects such as extremely low latency, extremely high reliability, ultra-large bandwidth, and massive access are becoming increasingly stringent. Applications of the intelligent automation type also put forward requirements such as high precision and high resolution for sensing capabilities. Among them, on the one hand, the rapidly increasing number of wireless communication and sensing devices has made the contradiction between the endless growth of service requirements and the limited wireless resources and computing power more prominent. On the other hand, the realization of the 6G vision requires a closed-loop information flow processing from the acquisition of environmental perception information, information interaction and sharing, intelligent information processing, to the layer-by-layer distribution of control information (including control information for communication networks and control instructions for application execution devices). That is to say, it is currently difficult to meet the continuously emerging application requirements.

[0033] At present, artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be widely used in wireless communication systems. AI technology is a branch of computer science, with self-learning devices, components, functional modules, etc., represented by deep learning, reinforcement learning, distributed learning, etc. AI technology has a wide and profound impact in many fields such as communication network optimization, intelligent perception and control applications, and has greatly improved the possibility of deep integration in the fields of communication, perception and computing.

[0034] Computing power plays a vital role in the field of AI technology. It can improve the accuracy and performance of models, accelerate data processing and analysis, optimize model configuration, and improve model effects and efficiency, thereby promoting the development and application of artificial intelligence technology. Computing power refers to the ability of computer equipment or computing models to process and calculate data. In application fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance computing, computing power is one of the key factors in achieving complex calculations and data processing. From the perspective of processing objects, computing power processing objects are mainly data, including various forms of data such as text, audio, and video. From the perspective of carrier terminals, the realization of computing power services is mainly achieved through terminals such as servers, personal computers (PCs), and mobile phones.

[0035] Among them, for training deep learning models, since training deep neural networks requires a lot of computing resources to process large-scale data sets and complex model structures, improving computing power can speed up training, thereby improving the accuracy and performance of the model. For accelerating data processing and analysis, artificial intelligence applications usually need to process large-scale data sets, including images, text, voice, etc. Improving computing power can accelerate data processing and analysis to extract useful features and patterns, thereby supporting higher-level artificial intelligence tasks such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. For optimizing model configuration, increasing computing power can support optimizing the search for model hyperparameters to find the best configuration. In addition, increasing computing power can also be used for model architecture search and automated machine learning processes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the model. In addition, increasing computing power can also improve model effectiveness and efficiency. Specifically, the increase in computing power can enable more complex models to be implemented, such as large-scale language models and image generation models, which require a lot of computing resources to train and generate high-quality results.

[0036] Therefore, how to allocate wireless resources, for example, how to reasonably allocate the computing power of the terminal in an efficient terminal wireless resource allocation scheme, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0037] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a configuration method, which includes sending configuration information, where the configuration information includes at least one of the following: information on a first capability; activation time configuration information corresponding to the first capability; information on a first function, where the first function is a function that needs to be activated by a second node; information on a second function, where the second function is a function that needs to be deactivated by the second node; first indication information, where the first indication information is used to instruct the second node to report a second capability; first trigger condition information, where the first trigger condition information is used to trigger the second node to report the second capability. Moreover, the first capability can be understood as capability information that requires support from the second node. In this way, the configuration information can be determined based on actual terminal requirements, service types, and wireless channel environments, so that adaptive wireless resource allocation can be performed based on actual application scenarios, improving the usage efficiency of the terminal's computing power, and further achieving efficient terminal wireless resource allocation and improving the spectral efficiency of the system.

[0038] The method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to various communication systems. For example, the communication system can be a long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G communication system, a Wi-Fi system, a communication system related to the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP), a future evolved communication system (such as: a 6th generation (6G) communication system, etc.), or a system integrating multiple systems, without limitation.

According to the size of the service coverage area provided, the base station can be further divided into a macro base station for providing a macro cell, a micro base station for providing a pico cell, and a femto base station for providing a femto cell.

[0079] (4) First indication information

[0080] Among them, the first indication information is used to indicate that the second node reports the second capability.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second capability can be used to indicate the capabilities of the second node itself. In some embodiments, the information of the second capability includes at least one of the following:

[0082] Information about the capabilities that the second node itself possesses; information about the capabilities that the second node itself supports; information about the capabilities configured for the second node; information about the minimum capabilities that the second node itself possesses; information about the minimum capabilities that the second node itself supports; information about the minimum capabilities configured for the second node; information about the maximum capabilities that the second node itself possesses; information about the maximum capabilities that the second node itself supports; information about the maximum capabilities configured for the second node.

[0083] (5) First trigger condition information

[0084] Among them, the first trigger condition information is used to trigger the second node to report the second capability. That is, under the condition that the first trigger condition is met, the second node can send the second capability to the first node.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first trigger condition information includes at least one of the following: the second capability is less than the first threshold; the second node cannot activate some or all of the first functions; the second capability is less than the first capability; the second node does not support some or all of the first functions; the capability information that the second node needs to support to activate the first function exceeds the capability limit of the second node; the difference between the capability information supported by the second node and the capability information that the second node needs to support is less than the second threshold.

[0086] Exemplarily, the configuration information includes: information about the minimum capabilities that the second node needs to support (the first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capabilities that the second node needs to support, information about the first function, and the first trigger condition information.

[0087] Among them, the first information can be the minimum capability information N that the second node UE1 needs to support Min . The maximum computing capability that UE1 itself supports, that is, the maximum value of the number of computing units, can be expressed as N(UE1) Max . And, the first trigger condition information in this example includes N(UE1) Max -N Min ≤Delta2 (the second threshold). Delta2 can adopt the default configuration or be configured by the base station or be configured by UE1.

[0088] When N(UE1) Max -N MinWhen ≤Delta2, UE1 sends information about the capabilities supported by UE1 itself, i.e., the second capabilities, to the first node. In one example, UE1 can also send feedback information to the first node, such as the following first information, and carry information about the capabilities supported by UE1 itself in this first information.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the first node sends configuration information to the second node, it can also receive feedback information sent by the second node regarding this configuration information. Exemplarily, the feedback information received by the first node can include the following first information, second information, third information, or other possible information.

[0090] In one possible implementation, as Figure 3 shown, the method can further include the following step S1021:

[0091] S1021. Receive the first information sent by the second node.

[0092] In some embodiments, the above first information includes at least one of the following: confirmation information of receiving the configuration information; second indication information.

[0093] Exemplarily, the first information can be understood as feedback information sent by the second node to the first node regarding the above configuration information. That is, after receiving the configuration information sent by the first node, when the second node determines that the current situation meets the trigger condition of the first information (i.e., the following second trigger condition), it can send the first information to the first node, and correspondingly, the first node receives this first information.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the second node does not support the first capability; the second node cannot provide the first capability; the second node cannot activate some or all of the first functions; the second node does not support some or all of the first functions.

[0095] It can be understood that the first information can be feedback information sent by the second node to the first node regarding the configuration information in the case where the second node cannot support the capabilities indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node, i.e., the first capabilities, to inform the first node that the capabilities of the second node cannot meet this capability requirement. That is, when the second trigger condition is met, the second node determines that its own capabilities cannot support the capabilities indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node, and thus, the second node sends the first information to the first node.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first information can also include the reason why the second node does not support the first capability.

[0097] In some embodiments, the triggering condition for sending the first information may be referred to as the second triggering condition, and the second triggering condition includes at least one of the following: the second capability is less than a third threshold; the second capability is less than the first capability; the second node cannot activate some or all of the first functions; the second node does not support some or all of the first functions; the capabilities that the second node needs to support to activate the first function exceed the capability limit of the second node.

[0098] Among them, the third threshold may be a reference threshold for the capability determined based on the first capability. When the second capability is less than the third threshold, the second node may determine that its own capability, that is, the second capability, cannot meet the capabilities that the second node needs to support.

[0099] In some embodiments, the second capability being less than the first capability includes at least one of the following: the computing capability supported by the second node is less than the computing capability that the second node needs to support; the storage capability supported by the second node is less than the storage capability that the second node needs to support.

[0100] In a possible example, the computing capability supported by the second node being less than the computing capability that the second node needs to support includes one of the following: the number of computing units of the second node is less than the number of computing units that the second node needs to provide; the number of computing units of the second node is less than the sum of the number of computing units that the second node needs to provide and a first preset value.

[0101] In some embodiments, the number of computing units that the second node needs to provide is determined according to the minimum value of the number of computing units required for each function that the second node needs to support.

[0102] Example 1: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (the first capability), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information on the first function.

[0103] Among them, the information on the minimum capability that the second node UE1 needs to support includes the minimum value of the number of operations that the second node needs to support, such as N Min , and the first function, that is, the function that the second node needs to activate, includes function A and function B.

[0104] In one case, N Min > N(UE1) Max where N(UE1) Maxis the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is also a possible example of the second capability. At this time, the second capability is less than the first capability, and the second trigger condition is met, indicating that the capability of the second node cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE1 can send the first information to the first node. Moreover, the first trigger condition mentioned above is also met, so UE1 can also report the second capability, that is, N(UE1), to the first node Max 。

[0105] The first information may include a confirmation message of receiving the configuration information and a second indication message, and the second indication message is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE1 does not support the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 cannot provide the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 cannot activate all or part of Function A and Function B; UE1 does not support all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE1 cannot enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the lowest capability that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information

[0106] In another case, N Min +Delta1>N(UE1) Max where N(UE1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is also a possible example of the second capability, and the sum of N Min and Delta1 can be a third threshold. At this time, the second capability is less than the third threshold, and the second trigger condition is met, indicating that the capability of the second node cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE1 can send the first information to the first node. Moreover, the first trigger condition mentioned above is also met, so UE1 can also report the second capability, that is, N(UE1), to the first node Max 。

[0107] Similarly, the first information may include a confirmation message of receiving the configuration information and a second indication message, and the second indication message is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE1 does not support the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 cannot provide the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 cannot activate all or part of Function A and Function B; UE1 does not support all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE1 cannot enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the lowest capability that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information. Among them, Delta1 can adopt the default configuration or be configured by the first node or be configured by UE1

[0108] In yet another case, N Min> N(UE1) Max , and the first information further includes the reason why the second node does not support the first capability. Exemplarily, UE1 may send the first information to the first node. The first information may include an acknowledgement of receiving the configuration information and a second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that UE1 cannot enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information, and the maximum computing capability of UE1 is insufficient to support the computing capabilities required for Function A and Function B.

[0109] Example 2: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support for Function A and the minimum capability that the second node needs to support for Function B (the first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information on Function A and Function B.

[0110] Among them, the information on the minimum capability that the second node UE1 needs to support includes the minimum value of the number of operations that the second node needs to support for Function A, such as N(A) Min , and the minimum value of the number of operations that the second node needs to support for Function B, such as N(B) Min , and the first function, that is, the function that needs to be activated by the second node, includes Function A and Function B.

[0111] In one case, N(A) Min + N(B) Min > N(UE1) Max , where N(UE1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, that is, one possible example of the second capability. At this time, the second capability is less than the first capability, satisfying the second trigger condition, indicating that the capability of the second node cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE1 may send the first information to the first node. And, the above first trigger condition is also satisfied, so that UE1 may also report the second capability, that is, N(UE1) Max .

[0112] The first information may include an acknowledgement of receiving the configuration information and a second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE1 does not support the first capability, that is, N(A) Min and N(B) Min ; UE1 cannot provide the first capability, that is, N(A) Min and N(B) Min; UE1 cannot activate all or part of Function A and Function B; UE1 does not support all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE1 cannot enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capabilities that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0113] In another case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min >N(UE1) Max , and the first information further includes the reason why the second node does not support the first capability. Exemplarily, UE1 may send the first information to the first node. The first information may include a confirmation message of receiving the configuration information and a second indication message, where the second indication message is used to indicate that UE1 cannot enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capabilities that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information, and the maximum computing power of UE1 is insufficient to support the computing power required for Function A and Function B.

[0114] In another possible example, the storage capacity supported by the second node is less than the storage capacity that the second node needs to support, including one of the following: the number of storage units of the second node is less than the number of storage units that the second node needs to provide; the number of storage units of the second node is less than the sum of the number of storage units that the second node needs to provide and a second preset value.

[0115] In some embodiments, the number of storage units that the second node needs to provide is determined according to the minimum value of the number of storage units required for each function that the second node needs to support.

[0116] In another possible implementation, as Figure 4 shown, the method may further include the following step S1022:

[0117] S1022. Receive the second information sent by the second node.

[0118] Wherein, the second information includes at least one of the following: a confirmation message of receiving the configuration information; a third indication message.

[0119] In some embodiments, the third indication message is used to indicate at least one of the following: the second node can support the first capability; the second node can provide the first capability; the second node can activate part or all of the first functions; the second node can support part or all of the first functions.

[0120] It can be understood that the first information can be the feedback information about the configuration information sent by the second node to the first node when the second node can support the ability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node, that is, the first ability, so as to inform the first node that the ability of the second node can meet the ability requirement. That is, when the third trigger condition is met, the second node determines that its own ability can support the ability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node, and thus, the second node sends the second information to the first node.

[0121] In some embodiments, the triggering condition for sending the second information can be referred to as the third trigger condition, and the third trigger condition includes at least one of the following: the second ability is greater than or equal to the third threshold; the second ability is greater than or equal to the first ability; the second node can activate the first function; the second node can support the first function; the ability required for the second node to activate the first function is less than the ability limit of the second node.

[0122] Among them, the third threshold can be a reference threshold of the ability determined based on the first ability. When the second ability is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the second node can determine that its own ability, that is, the second ability, can meet the ability required to be supported by the second node.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second ability being greater than or equal to the first ability includes at least one of the following: the computing ability supported by the second node is greater than or equal to the computing ability required to be supported by the second node; the storage ability supported by the second node is greater than or equal to the storage ability required to be supported by the second node.

[0124] In a possible example, the computing ability supported by the second node being greater than or equal to the computing ability required to be supported by the second node includes one of the following: the number of computing units of the second node is greater than or equal to the number of computing units required to be provided by the second node; the number of computing units of the second node is greater than or equal to the sum of the number of computing units required to be provided by the second node and the first preset value.

[0125] Example 3: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum ability that the second node needs to support (the first ability), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum ability that the second node needs to support, and information on the first function.

[0126] Among them, the information on the minimum ability that the second node UE1 needs to support includes the minimum value of the number of operations that the second node needs to support, such as N Min , and the first function, that is, the function that needs to be activated by the second node, includes function A and function B.

[0127] In one case, N Min ≤N(UE1) Max , where N(UE1) Maxis the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is also one possible example of the second capability. At this time, the second capability is greater than or equal to the first capability, satisfying the third trigger condition, indicating that the capability of the second node can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0128] The second information may include an acknowledgment message for receiving the configuration information and a third indication message. The third indication message is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE1 can support the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 can provide the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 can activate all or part of Function A and Function B; UE1 can support all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE1 can enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the lowest capability that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0129] In another case, N Min + Delta1 ≤ N(UE1) Max , where N(UE1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is also one possible example of the second capability, and N Min The sum of and Delta1 can be the third threshold. At this time, the second capability is greater than or equal to the third threshold, satisfying the third trigger condition, indicating that the capability of the second node can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0130] Similarly, the second information may include an acknowledgment message for receiving the configuration information and a third indication message. The third indication message is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE1 can support the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 can provide the first capability, that is, N Min ; UE1 can activate all or part of Function A and Function B; UE1 can support all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE1 can enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the lowest capability that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information. Among them, Delta1 can adopt the default configuration or be configured by the first node or be configured by UE1.

[0131] Example 4: The configuration information includes: information on the lowest capability required for the second node to support Function A and information on the lowest capability required to support Function B (the first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the lowest capability that the second node needs to support, and information on Function A and Function B.

[0132] Among them, the information on the minimum capabilities that the second node UE1 needs to support includes the minimum number of operations for the second node to support function A, such as N(A). Min and the minimum number of operations for the second node to support function B, such as N(B). Min The first function, that is, the function that requires the second node to be activated, includes function A and function B.

[0133] In one case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min ≤N(UE1) Max where N(UE1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, that is, one possible example of the second capability. At this time, the second capability is greater than or equal to the first capability, satisfying the third trigger condition, indicating that the capability of the second node can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0134] The second information may include a confirmation message for receiving the configuration information and a third indication message. The second indication message is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE1 can support the first capability, that is, N(A) Min and N(B) Min ; UE1 can provide the first capability, that is, N(A) Min and N(B) Min ; UE1 can activate all or part of function A and function B; UE1 can support all or part of function A and function B. For example, UE1 can enable function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capabilities that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0135] In another case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +Delta1≤N(UE1) Max where N(UE1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, that is, one possible example of the second capability, and the sum of N(A) Min +N(B) Min and Delta1 can be the third threshold. At this time, the second capability is greater than or equal to the third threshold, satisfying the third trigger condition, indicating that the capability of the second node can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0136] Similarly, the second information may include a confirmation message for receiving the configuration information and a third indication message for indicating at least one of the following: UE1 is capable of supporting the first capability, i.e., N(A) Min and N(B) Min ; UE1 is capable of providing the first capability, i.e., N(A) Min and N(B) Min ; UE1 is capable of activating all or part of Function A and Function B; UE1 is capable of supporting all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE1 can enable Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information. Among them, Delta1 can adopt the default configuration or be configured by the first node or by UE1.

[0137] Example 5: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (the first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information on the first function. And, the third trigger condition includes that the second node is capable of supporting part of the first function.

[0138] Among them, the first function, i.e., the function that needs to be activated by the second node, includes Function A, Function B, Function C, and Function D. The information on the minimum capability that the second node UE1 needs to support includes: the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function A, for example, taking the value of N(A) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function B, for example, taking the value of N(B) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function C, for example, taking the value of N(C) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function D, for example, taking the value of N(D) Min .

[0139] In one case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min +N(D) Min >N(UE1) Max , and N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min ≤N(UE1) Max . Among them, N(UE1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, i.e., one possible example of the second capability. At this time, the second node is capable of supporting part of the first function, i.e., Function A, Function B, and Function C, meeting the third trigger condition. At this time, UE1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0140] The second information may include a confirmation message for receiving the configuration information and a third indication message, where the second indication message is used to indicate that UE1 can enable Function A, Function B, and Function C within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capabilities that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0141] In another scenario, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min +N(D) Min >N(UE1) Max and N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min +N(E) Min ≤N(UE1) Max . Wherein, N(E) Min is the minimum number of arithmetic units required for Function E, and Function E can implement all or part of the functions of Function D. At this time, the second node can support some of the first functions, that is, Function A, Function B, and Function C, and meet the third trigger condition. At this time, UE1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0142] The second information may include a confirmation message for receiving the configuration information and a third indication message, where the second indication message is used to indicate that UE1 can enable Function A, Function B, and Function C within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capabilities that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0143] In one embodiment, function information of Function E can also be sent to the first node. The "function information of Function E" includes at least one of the following: the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function E, the specific functions implemented by Function E.

[0144] In yet another possible implementation, as Figure 5 shown, the method may further include the following step S1023:

[0145] S1023. Receive third information sent by the second node.

[0146] Wherein, the third information includes at least one of the following: a confirmation message for the configuration information; the activation time configuration information corresponding to the capabilities information that the second node supports and that requires the support of the second node; the information of the activated functions updated by the second node; the information of the deactivated functions updated by the second node.

[0147] In some embodiments, the triggering condition for sending the third information may be referred to as the fourth triggering condition, and the fourth triggering condition includes one of the following: the second capability is less than the first capability; within the activation time configured by the activation time configuration information corresponding to the first capability, the second node cannot provide a capability that meets the first capability.

[0148] Example 6: The configuration information includes: information about the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (the first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information about the first function.

[0149] Among them, the first function, that is, the function that needs to be activated by the second node, includes function A, function B, function C, and function D. The information about the minimum capability that the second node UE1 needs to support includes: the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support function A, for example, taking the value of N(A) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support function B, for example, taking the value of N(B) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support function C, for example, taking the value of N(C) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support function D, for example, taking the value of N(D) Min .

[0150] In one case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min ≤N(UE1) Max . Among them, N(UE1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, that is, one possible example of the second capability. However, at this time, within the time indicated by "UE1 needs to support the enabling time configuration information corresponding to the said capability", there are other functions that need to occupy a certain amount of computing power. For example, function E needs to occupy at least N(E) Min arithmetic units, which results in the inability to support functions A, B, C, and D simultaneously within the said time. That is, the above fourth triggering condition is met.

[0151] Therefore, UE1 can send the third information to the first node. Exemplarily, UE1 selects a new time for enabling functions A, B, C, and D, and then sends the response information of the first configuration information, that is, the third information, to the first node. Exemplarily, UE1 selects a new time for enabling functions A, B, C, and D. Then UE1 sends the response information of the first configuration information, that is, the third information, to the base station to confirm that UE1 has successfully received the configuration information. Among them, the third information may include: confirmation information of the configuration information, and activation time configuration information corresponding to functions A, B, C, and D, or referred to as enabling time configuration information.

[0152] Further, after receiving the third information sent by UE1, the first node may further feedback new configuration information to UE1. The new configuration information includes new capability information that needs to be supported by UE1 determined based on the activation time configuration information corresponding to Function A, Function B, Function C, and Function D in the third information.

[0153] Example 7: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capabilities that the second node needs to support (the first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capabilities that the second node needs to support, information on the first function, and the above first trigger condition.

[0154] Among them, the first function, that is, the function that needs to be activated by the second node, includes Function A, Function B, Function C, and Function D. The information on the minimum capabilities that the second node UE1 needs to support includes: the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function A, for example, taking the value of N(A) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function B, for example, taking the value of N(B) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function C, for example, taking the value of N(C) Min ; the minimum number of arithmetic units required to support Function D, for example, taking the value of N(D) Min .

[0155] The first information is the minimum number of arithmetic units that UE1 needs to support, for example, N Min . The second capability is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, for example, N(UE1) Max . And the first trigger condition includes N(UE1) Max - N(A) Min - N(B) Min - N(C) Min - N(D) Min ≤ Delta2 (i.e., the second threshold). Among them, Delta2 can adopt the default configuration or be configured by the base station or be configured by UE1.

[0156] When UE1 receives this configuration information, when N(UE1) Max - N(A) Min - N(B) Min - N(C) Min - N(D) Min ≤ Delta2, the first trigger condition is satisfied. UE1 can send the capability information supported by itself to the first node. UE1 can send the third information to the first node. The third information includes: confirmation information on the configuration information, UE1's own capability information, deactivation / disable function information of UE1, and deactivation / disable function information that needs to be received by the receiving end.

[0157] For example, in N(UE1) Max -N(A) Min -N(B) Min -N(C) Min -N(D) Min ≤ Delta2, and when N(UE1) Max -N(A) Min -N(B) Min -N(C) Min ≥ Delta2, the above fourth trigger condition and the first trigger condition are satisfied, and UE1 can send third information to the first node. The third information includes: confirmation information of the configuration information, UE1's own capability information, and indication information of function D.

[0158] Based on the technical solution provided by the present disclosure, the configuration information sent by the first node can be determined based on the requirements of the actual device, the service type, and the radio channel environment, so that an adaptive radio resource allocation can be performed based on the actual application scenario to provide a reasonable radio resource allocation scheme. Thereby, the usage efficiency of the computing power of the terminal can be improved, an efficient radio resource allocation for the terminal can be achieved, and the spectrum efficiency of the wireless communication system can be improved.

[0159] In some embodiments, the present disclosure also provides another configuration method, which is applied to a receiving end device, such as Figure 6 shown, and the method includes the following steps:
