[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other in any way.

[0027] The steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions. Also, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in an order different from that shown here.

[0028] In this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0029] Artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) functionality (AI / ML functionality) can refer to the use of AI / ML methods to achieve specific purpose functions. An AI / ML function is specifically implemented by one or more AI / ML models, and an AI / ML model corresponds to different applicability conditions (e.g., network-side additional conditions and user equipment (UE)-side additional conditions). Network-side additional conditions can be considered as conditions that need to be met on the network side. UE-side additional conditions can be considered as conditions that need to be met on the UE side.

[0030] Life cycle management (LCM) of AI / ML functions / models is the part that implements AI / ML functions / models. LCM includes data collection, model training, function / model identification, model transmission, model inference, function / model selection / activation / deactivation / switching / rollback / monitoring, etc.

[0031] AI / ML functions or models are further divided into UE-side AI / ML functions or models and network-side AI / ML functions or models.

[0032] UE-side AI / ML functions or models may refer to AI / ML functions or models implemented by the UE. The AI / ML functions and models are located on the UE side, and the UE performs the model inference process.

[0033] Network-side AI / ML functions or models may refer to AI / ML functions or models implemented by network-side network elements. The AI / ML functions and models are located on the network side, and the model inference process is performed by the network-side network elements.

[0034] In a specific implementation, the configuration of an AI / ML function or model may be implemented by the measurement configuration and / or measurement reporting configuration sent by the network to the UE. The following describes the lifecycle management of AI / ML functions. The lifecycle management of AI / ML function models can be the same as the lifecycle management of AI / ML functions, and can also be adaptively adjusted, which is not limited here.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a configuration processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application; the method can be applicable to the situation of managing the configuration of the first function, the method can be executed by a configuration processing device, the configuration processing device can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and integrated on the first communication node, and the first communication node can be a UE.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication network provided in an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 The fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) is an access network architecture with a separate central unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU). Figure 2 The overall architecture of the CU / DU split is shown. A gNB may consist of a gNB central unit (gNB-CU) and one or more gNB distributed units (gNB-DUs). The gNB-CU and gNB-DUs are connected via the F1 interface. The gNB-CU is defined as a logical node that hosts the radio resource control (RRC), service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) of the gNB, or controls one or more gNB-DUs. The gNB-DU is defined as a logical node that hosts the radio link control (RLC), media access control (MAC), and physical layer (PHY), and its operations are partially controlled by the gNB-CU.

[0037] In this application, the first communication node can configure the first function based on a predefined or preconfigured processing method, or can interact with the communication network to implement the configuration of the first function. Figure 2 The communication network shown.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a configuration processing method, including the following steps:

[0039] S110: Determine a configuration processing method for a first function, where the first function includes a function based on artificial intelligence technology.

[0040] The first function can be considered a configuration management function. The first function can be an artificial intelligence-based function stored in an inactive access stratum context. For example, an AI / ML function is a function based on AI or ML technology. This embodiment can manage the configuration of the first function during the RRC recovery process. The configuration of the first function can be a configuration specific to the implementation of the first function. The content of the configuration is not limited and can, for example, be a parameter set for the first function.

[0041] The processing method can be considered as a method for processing the configuration of the first function. The processing method can be to directly regard the configuration of the first function as not applicable; or to determine the processing method based on the applicability of the configuration of the first function; or to determine the processing method based on the applicability of the configuration of the first function and the state of the configuration of the first function before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state; or to determine the processing method based on the state of the configuration of the first function before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state.

[0042] In this operation, the first communication node may locally determine the processing method for configuring the first function, or may determine the processing method based on configuration information indicated by the second communication node. The second communication node may be a network-side communication node, also referred to as a network node, such as a node on the core network side or a node on the access network side. The configuration information may be considered information used to configure the processing method.

[0043] S120: Process the configuration of the first function based on the processing method.

[0044] After determining the processing method, the configuration of the first function can be processed according to the determined processing method. Different processing methods correspond to different processing operations. The processing of the configuration of the first function can include restoring the configuration of the first function; deeming the configuration of the first function inapplicable; deeming the state of the configuration of the first function to be deactivated; activating or applying the configuration of the first function; and deactivating or not applying the configuration of the first function.

[0045] An embodiment of the present application provides a configuration processing method. In this embodiment, a processing method for the configuration of a first function is determined, and the configuration of the first function is processed based on the processing method, thereby realizing the processing of the configuration of the first function.

[0046] Based on the above embodiment, a modified embodiment of the above embodiment is proposed. It should be noted that, in order to simplify the description, only the differences from the above embodiment are described in the modified embodiment.

[0047] In one embodiment, the processing includes one or more of the following:

[0048] Determine the configuration of the first function as not applicable (i.e., the UE considers the configuration of the first function to be not applicable) or in a deactivated state (i.e., the configuration of the first function is considered to be in a deactivated state);

[0049] determining the applicability of the configuration of the first function and performing corresponding processing on the configuration of the first function, that is, the UE determines whether the configuration of the first function is applicable and performs corresponding processing;

[0050] Perform corresponding processing on the configuration of the first function according to the state of the first communication node before being released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, that is, perform corresponding processing according to the state of the configuration of the AI / ML function before the UE is released to the RRC inactive state;

[0051] Deleting the configuration of the first function, that is, the UE deletes the configuration of the AI / ML function.

[0052] In this embodiment, it is possible to directly determine whether the configuration of the first function is applicable, such as determining the configuration of the first function as not applicable. Determining the configuration of the first function as not applicable can be considered as not applying the configuration of the first function, that is, the processing method is to not apply the configuration of the first function.

[0053] In this embodiment, the configuration state of the first function may also be directly determined, such as by considering the configuration of the first function as being in a deactivated state. For example, the configuration state of the first function may be considered deactivated. The configuration of the first function or the first function may be considered in a deactivated state.

[0054] In this embodiment, the applicability of the configuration of the first function may be judged, and corresponding processing may be performed based on the judged applicability, such as activating or applying the configuration of the first function, or deactivating or not applying the configuration of the first function.

[0055] When making an applicability judgment, corresponding processing may also be performed in combination with the configuration of the first function before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state.

[0056] In this embodiment, corresponding processing may also be performed on the configuration of the first function based on the state of the configuration of the first function before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control (RRC) inactive state. The state of the configuration of the first function before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control (RRC) inactive state may be the same as or correspond to the processing performed on the configuration of the first function. For example, if the state is active, the processing of the configuration of the first function may be activation. If the state is active, the processing of the configuration of the first function may be application. If the state is applicable, the processing of the configuration of the first function may be activation or application.

[0057] In this embodiment, the process of directly determining the configuration of the first function is to delete the configuration of the first function.

[0058] In one embodiment, processing the configuration of the first function based on the processing manner includes:

[0059] In the case of restoring the saved setting configuration, the configuration of the first function included in the setting configuration is confirmed to be inapplicable or deactivated state, and the setting configuration includes one or more of RRC configuration, primary cell group MCG configuration and secondary cell group SCG configuration.

[0060] The setting configuration may be a pre-set configuration. The configuration of the first function may be included in the setting configuration.

[0061] In the case where the processing manner is to determine the configuration of the first function as being in an inapplicable or deactivated state, the configuration of the first function may be confirmed as being in an inapplicable or deactivated state when the saved setting configuration is restored.

[0062] In one example, when the UE restores a saved RRC configuration and / or restores a saved MCG / SCG configuration, the UE considers the configuration of the AI / ML function included in the RRC configuration and / or MCG / SCG configuration as not applicable.

[0063] In one embodiment, processing the configuration of the first function based on the processing manner includes:

[0064] Restoring the configuration of the first function;

[0065] Determining the applicability of the configuration of the first function;

[0066] If the configuration of the first function is applicable, executing the corresponding applicable processing;

[0067] In a case where the configuration of the first function is not applicable, a process corresponding to the non-applicability is performed.

[0068] This embodiment refines the configuration of the first function and performs corresponding processing based on the applicability of the configuration of the first function.

[0069] In the process of processing the configuration of the first function in this embodiment, the configuration of the first function is restored, and then the applicability of the configuration of the first function is determined. Applicability includes whether the configuration of the first function is applicable or not applicable. Different applicabilities may correspond to different processing methods, and the corresponding relationship is not limited here. As long as the applicability of the configuration of the first function indicates that it is applicable, the corresponding applicable processing is performed. If the applicability of the configuration of the first function indicates that it is not applicable, the corresponding inapplicable processing is performed.

[0070] In one example, if the applicability indication is applicable, the configuration of the first function may be directly activated or applied.

[0071] In one example, when the applicability indication is applicable, the processing method of the configuration of the first function can also be determined in combination with other parameters, such as the state of the configuration of the first function before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state.

[0072] In one embodiment, when the judgment result indicates that the configuration of the first function is applicable, performing corresponding applicable processing includes one of the following:

[0073] activating or applying the configuration of the first function;

[0074] In response to the configuration of the first function being active or applicable before the first communication node is released into the radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0075] In this embodiment, if the configuration of the first function is applicable, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0076] In this embodiment, in response to the configuration of the first function being applicable and the configuration of the first function being active or applicable before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0077] If, in response to the configuration of the first function being applicable and the configuration of the first function being active before the first communication node is released into the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0078] For example, in response to the configuration of the first function being applicable, and the configuration of the first function being applicable before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0079] In one embodiment, when the judgment result indicates that the configuration of the first function is not applicable, performing a corresponding inapplicable process includes one of the following:

[0080] Deactivating the configuration of the first function;

[0081] The configuration of the first function is not applied.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the configuration of the first function is not applicable, the corresponding inapplicability processing performed may be deactivating or not applying the configuration of the first function.

[0083] In one embodiment, processing the configuration of the first function based on the processing manner includes:

[0084] In response to the configuration of the first function being deactivated or not applicable before the first communication node is released into a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, deactivating or not applying the configuration of the first function;

[0085] In response to the configuration of the first function being active or applicable before the first communication node is released into the radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0086] In this embodiment, the applicability of the configuration of the first function may be ignored, and corresponding processing may be performed on the configuration of the first function based on the state of the configuration of the first function before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state.

[0087] In one example, in response to the configuration of the first function being deactivated before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is deactivated or not applied. In response to the configuration of the first function being not applicable before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is deactivated or not applied.

[0088] In one example, in response to the configuration of the first function being active before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied; in response to the configuration of the first function being applicable before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0089] In one embodiment, the configuration processing method further includes:

[0090] The applicable status of the configuration of the first function is indicated to the second communication node through an RRC recovery complete message or an RRC recovery request message, where the applicable status includes applicable or not applicable.

[0091] In this embodiment, the usage status of the configuration of the first function may be indicated by an RRC recovery complete message or an RRC recovery request message. For example, the first communication node transmits an RRC recovery complete message or an RRC recovery request message to the second communication node to indicate the usage status of the configuration of the first function.

[0092] In one embodiment, processing the configuration of the first function based on the processing manner includes:

[0093] Delete the configuration of the first function stored in the inactive access layer context.

[0094] In response to sending an RRC recovery request or receiving an RRC recovery message, deleting the configuration of the first function stored in the inactive access layer context.

[0095] The RRC recovery request may be considered as a request to trigger RRC recovery. In this embodiment, the configuration of the first function may be a configuration for deleting the first function. The configuration of the first function may be a configuration stored in an inactive access layer context.

[0096] In one embodiment, the configuration processing method further includes:

[0097] Obtain an RRC recovery message or an RRC release message transmitted by the second communication node, where the RRC recovery message or the RRC release message indicates whether the first communication node performs an operation of deleting the configuration of the first function.

[0098] The first communication node may obtain an RRC resume message or an RRC release message from the second communication node to obtain an indication of whether the first communication node performs an operation of deleting the configuration of the first function.

[0099] In one embodiment, the method for determining the configuration of the first function includes:

[0100] Obtaining configuration information transmitted by the second communication node;

[0101] Based on the configuration information, a processing method for configuring the first function is determined.

[0102] In this embodiment, the first communication node may determine the processing method based on the configuration information transmitted by the second communication node. The configuration information may indicate the configuration method of the first function. In this embodiment, the processing method of the configuration of the first function indicated by the configuration information may be determined, and processing may be performed based on the determined processing method.

[0103] In this embodiment, when determining the processing mode based on the configuration information, the information indicated by the configuration information may be determined, and then the processing mode may be determined based on the indicated information.

[0104] In one embodiment, the configuration information indicates one of the following information:

[0105] Instructing the first communication node whether to allow autonomous activation or application of the configuration of the first function during the RRC recovery process;

[0106] Indicating whether the first communication node indicates an applicable state of the configuration of the first function in an RRC recovery complete message or an RRC recovery request message;

[0107] whether autonomous activation or application of the configuration of the first function, which was deactivated or inapplicable before being released to the RRC inactive state, is allowed;

[0108] For a configuration of the first function that was activated or applicable before being released to the RRC inactive state, whether autonomous activation or application of the configuration of the first function is allowed during the RRC recovery process;

[0109] During the RRC recovery process, whether to release the configuration of the first function saved in the inactive access layer context, or whether to restore the configuration of the first function saved in the inactive access layer context.

[0110] In the case of indicating whether the first communication node is allowed to autonomously activate or apply the configuration of the first function during the RRC recovery process, the first communication node can directly activate or apply the configuration of the first function when processing the configuration of the first function.

[0111] Whether the first communication node is allowed to autonomously activate or apply the configuration of the first function during the RRC recovery process can be considered as whether the first communication node can autonomously activate or apply the configuration of the first function during the RRC recovery process. Whether to activate or apply can be determined by the first communication node, for example, in combination with other conditions.

[0112] In the case of indicating whether the first communication node indicates the applicable status of the configuration of the first function in the RRC recovery complete message or the RRC recovery request message, the first communication node can determine whether to include the applicable status of the configuration of the first function in the RRC recovery complete message or the RRC recovery request message based on the indication.

[0113] Under the indication of whether the configuration of the first function, which was deactivated or inapplicable before being released to the RRC inactive state, can be autonomously activated or applied, the first communication node can determine whether the configuration of the first function can be autonomously activated or applied based on the state of the first communication node before being released to the RRC inactive state.

[0114] For the configuration of the first function that was activated or applicable before being released to the RRC inactive state, during the RRC recovery process, under the indication of whether the configuration of the first function can be autonomously activated or applied, the first communication node can determine whether, when determining the processing method, the configuration of the first function can be autonomously activated or applied based on the configuration of the first function in the state before the first communication node was released to the RRC inactive state.

[0115] The second communication node can indicate to the first communication node whether the configuration of the first function, which was deactivated or inapplicable before being released to the RRC inactive state, can be activated or applied; or whether the configuration of the first function, which was activated or applicable before being released to the RRC inactive state, can be activated or applied during the RRC recovery process.

[0116] In one embodiment, the configuration information is indicated by one of the following messages:

[0117] RRC message before the RRC recovery process;

[0118] RRC recovery message during RRC recovery process;

[0119] System message.

[0120] The second communication node may indicate the configuration information through an RRC message before the RRC recovery process (e.g., an RRC message that releases the UE to RRCINACTIVE, or an RRC message sent to the UE before this), an RRC recovery message during the RRC recovery process, or a system message. The system message may be a message transmitted by the second communication node to the first communication node, and the message may be a message associated with network configuration or a message for implementing control.

[0121] In one embodiment, the configuration information is information configured for one of the following objects:

[0122] Setting the configuration of the first function;

[0123] configuration of the first function of a first setting type;

[0124] Configuration of a third setting type of the first function of a second setting type.

[0125] The configuration of the set first function may be considered as a configuration of one or more pre-set first functions. The configuration information may be information about the configuration of the set first function.

[0126] The first setting type can be considered as a configuration of a type of first function. The classification of the first function is not limited. The configuration information can be information for the configuration of one or more types of first functions. The first setting type can be a classification of the first function, such as a beam management function or a mobility management function.

[0127] The second setting type may be a type for the first function, and the first setting type and the second setting type may be the same or different types. The third setting type may be a type for configuration. The configuration may be a configuration for inference or a configuration for data collection, etc.

[0128] In this embodiment, the configuration information may define the types of both the first function and the configuration, such as one or more configurations of the third setting type for the first function of the second setting type. The number of the third setting type may be one or more.

[0129] In one embodiment, the first function includes one of the following:

[0130] A second function, wherein the second function includes an artificial intelligence function, i.e., an AI function;

[0131] The third function includes a machine learning function, namely, an ML function.

[0139] After determining the configuration information, this operation may transmit the configuration information to the first communication node, so that the first communication node determines a processing method for the configuration of the first function, and then processes the configuration of the first function based on the processing method.

[0140] In the configuration processing method provided in this embodiment, the second communication node determines the configuration information and transmits the configuration information to the first communication node to indicate the processing method of the configuration of the first function, so as to facilitate the first communication node to determine the processing method of the configuration of the first function based on the configuration information, and then process the configuration of the first function to realize the processing of the configuration of the first function.

[0168] This article uses the lifecycle management method of AI / ML functions during the resume process as an example to describe:

[0169] In the New Radio (NR) protocol, the process of recovering from the RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) to the RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED) is as follows:

[0170] S1: The UE initiates the RRC resume process to restore the RRC configuration saved in the inactive (INACTIVE) access stratum (AS) context.

[0171] The recovery includes the measurement configuration (measConfig), but does not include the configuration of the master cell group (MCG) and the configuration of the secondary cell group (SCG).

[0172] The MCG and SCG configurations include configuration information of the service cells contained in the MCG and SCG, including configurations of the physical layer, MAC layer, RLC layer, and CSI measurement configuration information (eg, CSI-MeasConfig).

[0173] S2: The UE sends an RRC resume request message (ie, an RRC recovery request message) to the network.

[0174] S 3: The UE receives an RRC resume message sent by the network, i.e., an RRC recovery message.

[0175] S4: The UE restores the saved MCG configuration and SCG configuration from the inactive access layer context, including the configuration contained in the applied MCG or SCG.

[0176] S5: If the RRC resume message carries the MCG and / or SCG configuration, the UE applies the MCG and / or SCG configuration.

[0177] AI / ML-based capabilities may be included in different configurations.

[0178] For example, for AI / ML-based beam management functions, their reasoning configuration / data collection configuration / applicability report configuration may be included in the CSI measurement configuration of the serving cell, that is, the per-cell configuration.

[0179] For example, the reasoning configuration, data collection configuration, and applicability reporting configuration of AI / ML-based mobility management functions may be included in the measurement configuration (measConfig), which does not belong to a specific cell, that is, the per-UE configuration.

[0180] In the above RRC resume process, when the configuration of the AI / ML function saved by the UE in the INACTIVE AS context is restored, how to handle the configuration is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0181] The methods for handling AI / ML function configurations stored in an INACTIVE AS context include:

[0182] Method 1: The UE regards it as not applicable.

[0183] When the UE restores the saved RRC configuration and / or restores the saved MCG / SCG configuration, the UE considers the configuration of the AI / ML function included in the RRC configuration and / or MCG / SCG configuration as not applicable, and the UE does not apply the configuration of the AI / ML function, that is, the configuration of the AI / ML function and / or the AI / ML function is considered to be in a deactivated state. That is, when restoring the saved setting configuration, the configuration of the first function included in the setting configuration is confirmed to be in an not applicable or deactivated state.

[0184] Optionally, the UE indicates to the network in an RRC resume complete message (i.e., an RRC recovery complete message) that the configuration of the AI / ML function or the AIM / ML function is not applicable, and indicates the configuration of the AIML function or the applicability of the AIML function. That is, the applicable status of the configuration of the first function is indicated to the second communication node through the RRC recovery complete message.

[0185] Method 2: The UE determines whether it is applicable and takes appropriate action

[0186] The UE restores the configuration of the AI / ML function contained in the RRC configuration or the MCG / SCG configuration, and determines the applicability of the saved configuration of the AI / ML function. The applicability determination may be based on at least one of the following information:

[0187] Additional conditions of the UE, which may include the UE's moving speed, UE's location, etc.

[0188] Additional conditions on the network side;

[0189] The hardware capabilities of the UE may include the computing power of the UE, the applicable capabilities of the CPU or GPU, the applicable size of the memory, etc.

[0190] If the UE determines that the configuration of the AI / ML function is applicable, the UE performs one of the following methods:

[0191] Activate / apply the configuration of the AI / ML function (i.e., activate or apply the configuration of the first function); if the configuration of the AI / ML function is activated / applicable before the UE is released to the RRC INACTIVE state, the UE activates / applies the configuration of the AI / ML function, that is, when judging whether to activate / apply the configuration, this condition (i.e., whether the configuration of the AI / ML function is activated / applicable before the UE is released to the RRC INACTIVE state) needs to be considered, that is, in response to the configuration of the first function being activated or applicable before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, activate or apply the configuration of the first function; indicate to the network in an RRC resume request message or an RRC resumecomplete message that the configuration of the AI / ML function is applicable. That is, indicate the applicable status of the configuration of the first function to the second communication node through an RRC resume complete message or an RRC resume request message.

[0192] If the UE determines that the configuration of the AI / ML function is inapplicable, the UE performs one of the following:

[0193] Do not activate / apply the configuration of the AI / ML function; indicate to the network in an RRC resume request message or an RRC resume complete message that the configuration of the AI / ML function is not applicable. That is, indicate the applicable status of the configuration of the first function to the second communication node through an RRC resume complete message or an RRC resume request message.

[0194] Method 3: Processing the configuration of the AI / ML function based on the applicability / activation state of the AI / ML function before the UE is released to RRC_INACTIVE:

[0195] If the configuration of the AI / ML function is inactive / inapplicable before the UE is released to the RRC INACTIVE state, the UE does not activate / apply the configuration of the AI / ML function. That is, in response to the configuration of the first function being deactivated or inapplicable before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is deactivated or not applied.

[0196] If the configuration of the AI / ML function is active / applicable before the UE is released to the RRC INACTIVE state, the UE may activate / apply the configuration of the AI / ML function. That is, in response to the configuration of the first function being active or applicable before the first communication node is released to the radio resource control RRC inactive state, the configuration of the first function is activated or applied.

[0197] Indicate the applicable status information (applicable or not applicable) of the configuration of the AI / ML function described by the network in the RRC resume request message or the RRC resume complete message. That is, the applicable status of the configuration of the first function is indicated to the second communication node through the RRC resume complete message or the RRC resume request message, and the applicable status includes applicable or not applicable.

[0198] The configuration of the AI / ML function may be applicable or inapplicable because the additional conditions on the UE side or the UE's applicable hardware capabilities may have changed compared to the previous ones. Therefore, the UE may report this AI / ML function as applicable or inapplicable. However, whether this function is activated / applied is determined by the state of this function configuration before the UE is released to RRC_IANCIVE. This ensures that it matches / is consistent with the state of this function maintained by the network.

[0199] Method 4: The UE deletes the configuration of the AI / ML function

[0200] When the UE initiates an RRC resume request, the UE deletes the configuration of the AI / ML function stored in the INACTIVE AS context. That is, in response to sending an RRC resume request or receiving an RRC resume message, the UE deletes the configuration of the first function stored in the inactive access layer context.

[0201] The network may indicate through an RRC recovery message or an RRC release message whether the UE performs the above-mentioned operation for the configuration of the AI / ML function, that is, obtains the RRC recovery message or RRC release message transmitted by the second communication node, and the RRC recovery message or the RRC release message indicates whether the first communication node performs the operation of deleting the configuration of the first function.

[0202] Which of the above methods the UE performs may be based on network configuration. That is, the network instructs the UE through configuration information on one of the following information:

[0203] Whether the UE can autonomously activate / apply the configuration of the AI / ML function during the RRC resume process (i.e., indicating whether the first communication node allows autonomous activation or application of the configuration of the first function during the RRC resume process);

[0204] Whether the UE can indicate the applicability of the configuration of the AIML function in an RRC request message or an RRC resume complete message, that is, whether the first communication node indicates the applicability status of the configuration of the first function in an RRC resume complete message or an RRC resume request message;

[0205] For the configuration of the AI / ML function that was deactivated / inapplicable before being released to the RRC INACITVE state, whether the UE can autonomously activate / apply the configuration of the AI / ML function, that is, for the configuration of the first function that was deactivated or inapplicable before being released to the RRC INACTIVE state, whether the UE is allowed to autonomously activate or apply the configuration of the first function;

[0206] For the configuration of the AI / ML function that was deactivated / inapplicable before being released to RRC INACITVE, whether the UE can indicate the applicability of the configuration of the AIML function in the RRC resume request message or the RRC resume complete message, that is, whether the first communication node indicates the applicability status of the configuration of the first function in the RRC resume complete message or the RRC resume request message;

[0207] For the configuration of the AI / ML function that was active / applicable before the UE was released to the RRC INACTIVE state, whether the UE can activate / apply the configuration during the RRC resume process (regardless of its applicability at this time), that is, for the configuration of the first function that was active or applicable before the UE was released to the RRC inactive state, whether the activation or application of the configuration of the first function is allowed during the RRC resume process;

[0208] During the RRC resume process, whether the UE releases the configuration of the AI / ML function saved in the INACTIVE AS context, or whether it restores the configuration of the AI / ML function saved in the INACTIVE AS context, that is, during the RRC recovery process, whether the UE releases the configuration of the first function saved in the inactive access layer context, or whether it restores the configuration of the first function saved in the inactive access layer context.

[0209] The network may indicate the above configuration through an RRC message before the RRC resume process (for example, an RRC message that releases the UE to RRC INACTIVE, or an RRC message sent to the UE before this), an RRC resume message sent during the RRC resume process, or a system message.

[0210] The network may configure the above content for the following objects:

[0211] The configuration of a specific AI / ML function (i.e., the configuration of the first function); the configuration of a type of AI / ML function (the type of AI / ML function may include: AI / ML-based beam management function, mobility management function, etc.), i.e., the configuration of the first function of the first setting type; a type of configuration of a type of AI / ML function (the type of configuration includes: inference configuration, collection configuration, utility report configuration), i.e., the configuration of the third setting type of the first function of the second setting type.

[0212] Through this embodiment method, the network applies a configuration that instructs the UE on how to handle the AI / ML functions stored in the INACTIVE AS Context.

[0213] The network may configure different processing methods for different AI / ML function configurations to optimize different AI / ML functions.

[0293] In one embodiment, the first function includes one of the following:

[0294] a second function, wherein the second function includes an artificial intelligence function;

[0295] The third function includes a machine learning function.

[0296] The integration of communication networks and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies uses AI / machine learning (ML) to implement intelligent functions in the 5G core network and air interface. This involves closed-loop processes such as data collection, AI / ML model training, inference, and data analysis. Data is collected from user equipment (UE) to train ML models, supporting a common 5G AI / ML framework to enable AI / ML radios.

[0297] BM-Case1 (spatial domain downlink beam prediction): Based on the measurement results of beam set B, the downlink beam of beam set A is predicted in the spatial domain. The training and inference of the AI / ML model may be performed on the network side or the user equipment side. Set A and set B can be different sets, or set B can be a subset of set A. The input of the AI / ML model may be based on the L1-RSRP (Layer 1 Reference Signal Receiver Power) measurement results of set B, based on the L1-RSRP measurement results and auxiliary information of set B, or based on the channel impulse response (CIR) of set B, or based on the L1-RSRP measurement results of set B and the corresponding downlink transmission and / or reception beam ID.

[0298] BM-Case 2 (Time Domain Downlink Beam Prediction): Based on the historical measurement results of beam set B, the time domain downlink beam of beam set A is predicted in the time domain. The training and inference of the AI / ML model may be performed on the network side or the user device side. Set A and Set B can be different sets (Set B is not a subset of Set A), or Set B is a subset of Set A (Set A and Set B are different), or Set A and Set B are the same. The input of the AI / ML model may be the measurement results of the K (K ≥ 1) most recent measurement instances, specifically including the following alternatives: Alternative 1): Based only on the L1-RSRP measurement results of Set B; Alternative 2): Based on the L1-RSRP measurement results of Set B and auxiliary information; Alternative 3): Based on the L1-RSRP measurement results of Set B and the corresponding downlink transmission and / or reception beam identifiers. Based on the output of the AI / ML model, predictions for F (F ≥ 1) future time instances can be obtained, one prediction for each time instance. At least F = 1.

[0299] In order to train models based on artificial intelligence technology, such as AI / ML models, this application provides an information transmission method to implement the configuration of data collection during the UE training of the model based on artificial intelligence technology.

[0300] Example 1. An information transmission method, applied to a first communication node, comprising:

[0301] Obtaining a first configuration message transmitted by the second communication node, where the first configuration message includes candidate configuration information for data collection by the first communication node;

[0302] determining, based on the candidate configuration information, a target configuration for data collection by the first communication node;

[0303] A second request associated with the target configuration is sent to the second communication node.

[0304] The information transmission method provided in this example also includes: transmitting a first request to a second communication node, wherein the first request indicates information associated with data collection performed on the first communication node, and the data is associated with a model based on artificial intelligence technology.

[0305] Transmitting the first request to the second communication node may be performed before obtaining the first configuration message transmitted by the second communication node. The first configuration message may be a message sent by the second communication node in response to the first request.

[0306] The first request may be a request instructing the first communication node to perform data collection, such as instructing the second communication node that the first communication node needs to collect data. It may also instruct the second communication node to send a data collection configuration to the first communication node. The first communication node may be a UE. The second communication node may be a network-side node. Any details not fully detailed in this embodiment can be referred to the above embodiments and are not further elaborated here.

[0307] The data collected by the first communication node may be data associated with a model based on artificial intelligence technology, such as data used for training a model based on artificial intelligence technology. The model based on artificial intelligence technology may be an AI / ML model.

[0308] The first configuration message may be a configuration message for collecting data for the first communication node, transmitted by the second communication node in response to the first request. The candidate configuration information may be information about a configuration message for data collection that is a candidate for the first communication node.

[0309] The target configuration may be a configuration selected by the first communication node from candidate configurations indicated by the candidate configuration information. The target configuration may be a configuration for data collection. After determining the target configuration, the first communication node may transmit a second request to the first communication node. The second request may be a second request associated with the target configuration and may indicate the target configuration determined by the first communication node.

[0310] In this example, the UE receives a first configuration message including the candidate configuration, determines a target configuration to request, and sends a second request to the network. The UE may include in the second request information about the target configuration for one or more data collection functions of one or more AI / ML functions.

[0311] A network, such as a second communication node in the network, determines a set of candidate configurations for data collection.

[0312] The network sends a first configuration message to the UE. The first configuration message includes a candidate configuration for the data collection.

[0313] The network may determine the candidate configuration based on one or more of the following information:

[0314] UE capabilities; network configuration; type of AI / ML functionality indicated in the first request; purpose of data collection indicated in the first request.

[0315] On the other hand, the method provided in the present application may also allow the network to send a candidate configuration to the UE when the UE does not send a first request.

[0316] Example 2, the method according to claim 1, further comprising:

[0317] A first request is transmitted to a second communication node, wherein the first request indicates information associated with data collection performed with the first communication node, the data being associated with a model based on artificial intelligence technology.

[0318] Example 3. The method of Example 2, wherein the first request indicates one or more of the following:

[0319] indicating to the second communication node that the first communication node needs to collect data;

[0320] instructing the second communication node to send candidate configuration information for data collection;

[0321] Indicates the scenario in which data collection occurred.

[0322] In this embodiment, the first request can indicate that the first communication node needs to collect data, or can indicate the second communication node to indicate candidate configuration information for the first communication node to collect data, or can indicate the scenario in which the first communication node collects data, such as collecting data in a co-frequency measurement scenario.

[0323] In one example, the UE sends a first request to the network.

[0324] The first request is used to indicate to the network that the UE needs to collect data, or to indicate to the network that it sends a candidate configuration for data collection. The first request may also indicate a scenario for data collection, including intra-frequency measurement / inter-frequency handover, inter-frequency measurement / inter-frequency handover, inter-RAT measurement / inter-RAT handover, handover based on layer 3 measurement, handover based on layer 1 measurement, handover triggered by layer 1 or layer 2, and handover triggered by RRC.

[0325] In this example, the UE may request the network to send data for model training.

[0326] Example 4. The method of Example 2, wherein the first request includes one or more of the following:

[0327] The purpose for which the data is collected;

[0328] The identity of the cell where data collection is performed;

[0329] The index of the cell where data collection is performed;

[0330] Identification of the cell group for which data collection is performed;

[0331] an indication of the frequency range over which data collection will be conducted;

[0332] Information on the frequency bands where data collection was performed;

[0333] The type or identifier of the first function corresponding to the configuration requested for data collection, wherein the first function includes a function based on artificial intelligence technology.

[0334] The first request may also include at least one of the following:

[0335] The purpose of data collection, which may include model training, model testing, and model validation;

[0336] The identifier of the cell for data collection, or the cell index, or the identifier of the cell group, or the indication of the frequency range, or the information of the frequency band.

[0337] The type or identifier of the first function (such as AI / ML function) corresponding to the configuration of the requested data collection.

[0338] In this application, AI / ML functions include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0339] AI / ML for beam management

[0340] AI / ML for positioning

[0341] AI / ML-based mobility management capabilities (AI / ML for mobility);

[0342] AI / ML for CSI feedback;

[0343] CSI compression based on A / MLI (AI / ML for CSI compression).

[0344] Example 5. The method of Example 2, wherein the first request is included in one of the following messages:

[0345] RRC message;

[0346] Media access control layer control unit.

[0347] In one example, the UE sends the request contained in one of the following messages:

[0348] RRC message: RRC reconfiguration complete message (RRC reconfiguration complete);

[0349] RRC message: UE assistance information;

[0350] MAC control element (MAC CE);

[0351] An RRC message contained in a MAC SDU or MAC CE in the form of an RRC container.

[0352] Example 6. The method of Example 1, wherein the candidate configuration associated with the candidate configuration information includes one of the following:

[0353] an inference configuration or an identification of an inference configuration of a first function associated with the model;

[0354] a suitability report configuration or an identifier of a suitability report configuration for the first function;

[0355] data collection configuration for said first function;

[0356] Identifies additional conditions on the network side.

[0357] The reasoning configuration can be considered as the configuration of the reasoning process for the first function. The identifier of the reasoning configuration can uniquely identify the reasoning configuration. The applicability report configuration can be the configuration of the applicability report for the first function, and the identifier of the applicability report configuration can uniquely identify the applicability report configuration.

[0370] The network may carry an applicability reporting configuration of the AI / ML function in the candidate configuration sent to the UE, and the applicability reporting configuration is the candidate configuration for the data collection.

[0377] In this example, the candidate configuration for data collection includes a data collection configuration, and the data collection configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0378] This configuration may include parts of the content in the inference configuration or the applicability report configuration.

[0379] The configuration required for the UE to collect data, for example, in the AI-based beam management function, includes information about beam set A and / or beam set B, and optionally, identification of additional conditions on the network side.

[0381] The candidate configuration for data collection may also include identifiers of additional network-side conditions. In this case, the candidate configuration is a set of identifiers of additional network-side conditions indicated by the network. The identifier of the additional network-side conditions may be defined as an associated identifier that represents the network configuration, which may include beam configuration.

[0382] The following is an exemplary description of the candidate configuration for the first configuration message carrying the above data collection:

[0400] For different types of AI / ML functions, the candidate configurations for data collection may be included in different information elements of the RRC message.

[0401] For example, for the beam management function of AI, the candidate configurations for data collection may be placed in the cell configuration information element.

[0402] For example, in the NR protocol, the serving cell configuration servingCellConfig (e.g., a parameter set used to configure information about the cell served by the user equipment (UE)). For the mobility management function of AI, the candidate configuration for data collection may be placed in an information element containing a mobility measurement configuration, such as measurement-related configuration parameters in the NR protocol, such as measConfig, which can control the measurement behavior of the user equipment (UE) in the network and the sending of its measurement reports.

[0414] In response to the identifier of the candidate configuration in the candidate configuration information, the information of the target configuration is the identifier of the candidate configuration in the candidate configuration information;

[0418] Identifies additional conditions on the network side.

[0419] The target configuration information may be one or more of the following:

[0420] If the first configuration message indicates an identifier of a candidate configuration, the information of the target configuration may be the identifier of the candidate configuration;

[0421] If the requested candidate configuration is an inference configuration, the target configuration information may be the identifier of the inference configuration;

[0422] If the requested candidate configuration is a suitability report configuration, the target configuration information may be an identifier of the suitability report configuration;

[0423] If the requested candidate configuration is a data collection configuration, the target configuration information is the identifier of the data collection configuration;

[0424] Identifies additional conditions on the network side.

[0425] Example 12. The method of Example 1, further comprising:

[0426] In response to the target configuration being an inference configuration, applying the inference configuration;

[0427] In response to the target configuration being a data collection configuration, activating or applying the data collection configuration;

[0428] In response to the target configuration being an applicability report configuration or an identifier of an additional condition on the network side, wait for the second communication node to send a second configuration message, where the second configuration message includes a data collection configuration or an inference configuration, and apply the configuration in the second configuration message.

[0429] This example provides methods for activating the configuration for data collection:

[0430] If the target configuration for data collection requested by the UE is an inferred configuration, i.e., the target configuration is an inferred configuration, the UE may apply the inferred configuration after sending the second request. The UE may determine whether to apply the inferred configuration based on an instruction from the network. The instruction indicates whether an inferred configuration can be autonomously activated or applied by the UE.

[0431] If the target configuration for data collection requested by the UE is a data collection configuration, i.e., the target configuration is a data collection configuration, the UE may activate or apply the data collection configuration after sending the second request. The UE may determine whether to apply the data collection configuration based on an instruction from the network. The instruction indicates whether a data collection configuration can be autonomously activated or applied by the UE.

[0432] If the target configuration for data collection requested by the UE is a suitability report configuration or an identifier of an additional network condition, that is, the target configuration is a suitability report configuration or an identifier of an additional network condition, then after sending the second request, the UE may wait for the network to send a second configuration message, where the second configuration message includes a data collection configuration or an inference configuration. The UE, upon receiving the second configuration message, applies the data collection configuration or the inference configuration.

[0433] The second configuration message may be considered as a message including data collection configuration or reasoning configuration. The second configuration message may be transmitted by the second communication node to the first communication node.

[0434] In the information transmission method provided in this application, the UE can first instruct the network to send it a candidate configuration for data collection through a first request message. Otherwise, the network cannot know whether the UE needs to collect training data or when the UE can collect data. If the network blindly sends the candidate configuration, it will result in unnecessary signaling overhead and waste radio resources. Therefore, this embodiment can improve the efficiency of radio resource utilization.
