[0135] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0136] In some embodiments, the UE needs to continuously monitor the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The base station sends control information on the PDCCH to schedule uplink and downlink resources for the UE. To save UE energy, a discontinuous reception (DRX) function is introduced. The UE determines whether to be in an active state based on the DRX configuration. In the active state, the UE needs to monitor the PDCCH, while in the sleep state, the UE does not need to monitor the PSCCH. This reduces the time the UE monitors the PDCCH, achieving power savings.

[0137] In some embodiments, when the UE is in a connected state, the DRX configuration includes an inactivity timer, an on-duration timer, a cycle, a start offset, an uplink retransmission timer, a downlink retransmission timer, etc. The network configures the cycle and the start offset for the UE, which can be used to determine the periodic start time point of the wake-up timer. Whenever the UE receives downlink control information (DCI) carrying its own cell radio network temporary identifier (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier, C-RNTI) on the PDCCH, the inactivity timer is started. The UE monitors the PDCCH channel only during the activation period, and the UE may not monitor the PDCCH channel at other times, thereby saving power consumption. When the UE receives a Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU), it sends feedback to the base station and starts the downlink HARQ RTT (Round Trip Time) timer of the corresponding Hybrid Automatic Repeat-reQuest (HARQ) process. When the downlink HARQ RTT timer expires, the downlink retransmission timer is started. When the UE sends a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, the UE starts the uplink HARQ RTT timer of the corresponding HARQ process. When the uplink HARQ RTT timer expires, the uplink retransmission timer is started. The wake-up time includes the time the wake-up timer, inactivity timer, uplink retransmission timer, and downlink retransmission timer are in the running state.

[0138] In some embodiments, when the UE is in a non-connected state (e.g., an idle state or an inactive state), the DRX configuration includes a DRX cycle T, the number of paging frames N in the DRX cycle, the number of paging occasions Ns contained in a paging frame, a paging frame offset PF_offset, and a UE identifier UE_ID. A paging occasion is a set of PDCCH monitoring occasions, and a PDCCH monitoring occasion may include multiple time units, such as subframes and time slots.

[0139] In some embodiments, the base station sends a multicast broadcast service broadcast configuration (MBSBroadcastConfiguration) message on the multicast broadcast service control channel (MBS Control Channel, MCCH), which carries a multicast broadcast service information list (MBSSessionInfoList) provided by the current cell, a DRX configuration list (drx-ConfigPTM-List) and a neighboring cell list (MBSNeighbourCellList) providing multicast broadcast services.

[0140] Optionally, the multicast broadcast service list may carry one or more multicast broadcast service information, each of which indicates a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI), a broadcast RNTI (G-RNTI), a broadcast service radio bearer configuration, a list of neighboring cells supporting this multicast broadcast service, and a DRX configuration for this multicast broadcast service. TMGI is used to identify the multicast broadcast service, and the broadcast service radio bearer configuration indicates PDCP and RLC configuration. The DRX configuration for the multicast broadcast service is an index identifier used to determine a DRX configuration in the drx-ConfigPTM-List.

[0141] In some embodiments, data with the same QoS requirements are mapped to the same QoS flow, and one or more QoS flows can be mapped to one radio bearer. Each QoS flow is identified by a QFI (QoS Flow Identifier).

[0142] In some embodiments, the UE can use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict and infer the arrival of services. If it predicts that services are arriving, it enters an active state and monitors network transmissions, thereby achieving better energy saving effects and avoiding data transmission delays and losses.

[0143] In some embodiments, the UE's prediction capability is limited and may only be able to predict specific types of services, but the network does not know which services the UE can predict, resulting in the network being unable to determine whether to configure DRX for the service, and whether to send resources to transmit the corresponding service based on prediction or DRX scheduling.

[0144] Figure 2 is an interactive diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which is applied to a communication system including a terminal and a network device. The method includes:

[0145] Step S2101: The terminal sends first information to the network device.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first information indicates the service prediction capability of the terminal. Optionally, the first information indicates the service prediction capability of the terminal for at least one service. Optionally, the first information indicates that the terminal has the service prediction capability for the first service. Optionally, the first information indicates that the terminal does not have the service prediction capability for a second service. Optionally, the first service may be one or more services.

[0147] It is understandable that if the terminal has the service prediction capability for the first service, it can be said that the first service is a service that the terminal supports service prediction. If the terminal does not have the service prediction capability for the second service, it can be said that the second service is a service that the terminal does not support service prediction.

[0148] Optionally, the service prediction capability is used by the terminal to perform service prediction. Optionally, the service prediction capability is used by the terminal to predict whether a service is arriving and / or to predict the arrival time of the service.

[0149] Optionally, the name of the first information is not limited, and it can be, for example, “capability indication information”, “prediction capability information”, “prediction capability indication”, etc.

[0150] In one example, the first service may include multimedia service, emergency service, and voice service, that is, the terminal has service prediction capabilities for the above services, and the first information may include the service prediction capabilities corresponding to each of the above services.

[0151] In some embodiments, service prediction can be implemented by the terminal using an AI model or a machine learning (ML) model. In some embodiments, service prediction includes at least one of the following: predicting whether a service has arrived; or predicting the arrival time of the service. For example, if the terminal has service prediction capabilities for multimedia services, the terminal can predict whether the multimedia service has arrived, or can predict the arrival time of the multimedia service.

[0152] In some embodiments, predicting whether a service arrives may refer to predicting whether a service arrives in the current time slot, without predicting the time. Alternatively, predicting the arrival time of a service may refer to predicting at which time slot a service will arrive within a period of time in the future.

[0153] In some embodiments, the business prediction capability includes at least one of the following: prediction interval, which is the time interval between each prediction of the terminal; prediction accuracy; prediction delay, which is the time required for the terminal to start prediction and obtain the prediction result.

[0154] Optionally, the prediction interval depends on the terminal capability, which may be, for example, the minimum time interval between two predictions performed by the terminal, for example, the time difference between two predictions cannot be less than the prediction interval.

[0155] Optionally, the prediction accuracy can be determined by the terminal based on its own computing power or based on a preset algorithm. The prediction accuracy can be used to indicate the accuracy of the terminal service prediction results. For example, if the terminal's prediction accuracy for the arrival time of a multimedia service is 95%, it can indicate that there is a 95% chance that the actual arrival time of the multimedia service is the same as the predicted time.

[0156] In some embodiments, the terminal's service prediction capabilities for different services are different. Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the terminal's service prediction capabilities for at least one service. Optionally, each of the at least one services is indicated by a service identifier. Optionally, the first information is used to indicate at least one service prediction capability, each service prediction capability corresponding to a service, and the service identifier indicates the service corresponding to the service prediction capability. For example, the first information may include two fields for each service: the first field may be the service identifier, and the second field may be the terminal's service prediction capabilities for the service corresponding to the service identifier.

[0157] In some embodiments, a service identifier uniquely identifies a corresponding service. Optionally, the service identifier includes at least one of the following: a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI); a Service Type Identifier (STI); a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier (TMGI); a Quality of Service (QoS) flow; a Quality of Service (QFI); or a Radio Bearer Identifier (RBI). Alternatively, a QoS flow can be indicated by a QFI. Alternatively, the STI can be a TMGI.

[0158] Optionally, the correspondence between the RNTI and the service may be configured by the network device, or may be pre-defined by the protocol, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the network device may send fourth information, which is used to indicate the correspondence between the RNTI and the service. The fourth information may be, for example, a multicast broadcast service broadcast configuration (MBSBroadcastConfiguration) message.

[0159] Optionally, the service type identifier may include multimedia service, XR service, emergency service, voice service, etc. Optionally, the correspondence between the service type identifier and the service may be pre-agreed upon in a protocol, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0160] In some embodiments, a network device receives first information sent by a terminal. Optionally, the network device determines the terminal's service prediction capability based on the first information. Optionally, the network device determines the terminal's service prediction capability for at least one service based on the first information. Optionally, the network device determines a first service based on the first information, wherein the terminal has service prediction capability for the first service. Optionally, the network device determines the service prediction capability corresponding to the first service based on the first information. For example, the network device may determine that the terminal has service prediction capability for a multimedia service based on the first information, and the network device may also determine at least one of the terminal's prediction interval, prediction accuracy, and prediction latency for the multimedia service.

[0161] In some embodiments, the “service” in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a multicast broadcast service (MBS).

[0165] In some embodiments, the prediction configuration includes at least one of the following: a prediction start time; a prediction period; and a first service identifier. Optionally, the prediction period is the time interval between two predictions actually performed by the terminal. Optionally, the prediction period is greater than the prediction interval indicated by the first information. For example, based on the second information, the terminal may configure the prediction start time and / or prediction period of the service prediction corresponding to the first service identifier to the prediction start time and prediction period indicated by the second information, and then predict the service corresponding to the first service identifier based on the configured prediction start time and / or prediction period.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first service identifier may include one or more service identifiers. Optionally, the network device determines the second information based on the first information. Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the service prediction capability of the terminal for at least one service, and the first service identifier is a service identifier corresponding to one or more services in the at least one service indicated by the first information. Optionally, the first service identifier is a service identifier corresponding to one or more services in the first service. Optionally, the first service identifier may be a subset of the service identifiers corresponding to the first service. Optionally, the first service identifier is a service identifier corresponding to one or more services in the first service, and the first service is a service for which the terminal supports service prediction.

[0167] For example, if the terminal has the service prediction capability for multimedia services and voice services, the first service identifier may include a service identifier corresponding to at least one of the multimedia service and the voice service.

[0168] Optionally, the first service identifier may be determined based on the prediction accuracy corresponding to each service in the first service. For example, the first service identifier may include the service identifiers corresponding to the top N services in terms of prediction accuracy in the first service, where N is a positive integer. Alternatively, the first service identifier may include the service identifiers corresponding to services in the first service whose prediction accuracy exceeds a preset threshold.

[0169] Optionally, the prediction configuration may include a prediction start time and / or prediction period corresponding to each service identifier. For example, the prediction configuration may include service identifiers corresponding to multimedia services and voice services, as well as prediction start times and / or prediction periods corresponding to the multimedia services and voice services, respectively. The terminal may then perform service prediction for the multimedia services based on the prediction start time and / or prediction period corresponding to the multimedia services, and perform service prediction for the voice services based on the prediction start time and / or prediction period corresponding to the voice services.

[0170] Optionally, if the prediction configuration only includes the prediction start time and / or prediction period, the terminal can configure the prediction start time and / or prediction period corresponding to all first services to the prediction start time and / or prediction period indicated by the second information based on the second information.

[0171] Step S2103: The network device sends third information to the terminal.

[0172] In some embodiments, the third information is used to configure discontinuous reception (DRX). Optionally, the third information is used to configure discontinuous reception (DRX) for a second service, where the terminal does not have service prediction capabilities for the second service. Optionally, the third information is used to indicate the discontinuous reception configuration. Optionally, the discontinuous reception configuration is a configuration corresponding to the second service. Optionally, the second service may be determined by the network device based on the first information.

[0173] Optionally, the name of the third information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "DRX configuration information", "configuration indication information", etc.

[0174] In some embodiments, the terminal receives third information sent by the network device. Optionally, the terminal configures discontinuous reception for the second service according to the third information. Optionally, the terminal determines an inactive time and / or an active time according to the discontinuous reception configuration.

[0175] Step S2104: The terminal performs service prediction.

[0176] In some embodiments, the terminal performs service prediction based on the third information. Optionally, the terminal performs service prediction based on the prediction start time and / or prediction period. Optionally, the terminal performs service prediction for the service corresponding to the first service identifier. Optionally, the terminal performs corresponding service prediction based on the prediction start time and / or prediction period corresponding to each service in the first service identifier. For example, the terminal performs service prediction for a multimedia service based on the prediction start time and / or prediction period corresponding to the multimedia service.

[0177] In some embodiments, the terminal performs service prediction to obtain a prediction result. Optionally, the terminal determines whether to enter an active state or exit a disconnected state based on the prediction result. Optionally, the prediction result can be used to indicate whether a service has arrived or the time at which the service has arrived. Optionally, while in the inactive state, the terminal determines that a service corresponding to a first service identifier has arrived and enters an active state. Optionally, the terminal enters an active state based on the time at which the service corresponding to the first service identifier has arrived.

[0178] In some embodiments, the terminal enters an active state based on the prediction result to receive network transmissions. Optionally, the terminal enters an active state based on the prediction result to receive downlink transmissions from the network. Optionally, the terminal enters an active state based on the prediction result to receive service data of the service corresponding to the first service identifier.

[0179] Step S2105: The network device sends service data to the terminal.

[0180] In some embodiments, the network device sending the service data includes: determining that a first service has arrived, and after the terminal completes its prediction of the first service, sending the service data corresponding to the first service. Optionally, the network device determines whether the terminal has completed its prediction of the first service based on at least one of the following: a predicted start time, a predicted period, and a predicted delay.

[0181] Optionally, when a first service that the terminal can predict arrives, i.e., the terminal has service prediction capability for the first service, the network device schedules transmission resources and transmits service data to the terminal. Optionally, the location of the transmission resources can be determined based on the predicted start time, prediction period, and predicted latency, so that the service data is transmitted after the terminal completes service prediction for the first service.

[0182] For example, when the terminal has the ability to predict the service of multimedia services, if the network device determines that the multimedia service has arrived, it can determine whether the terminal's prediction of the multimedia service is completed based on the predicted delay in the first information and the predicted start time and prediction period indicated by the second information, and then determine whether to send the service data corresponding to the multimedia service.

[0183] In some embodiments, the network device sending the service data includes: determining that a second service has arrived, and sending service data corresponding to the second service after the terminal enters an active state according to the discontinuous reception configuration.

[0184] Optionally, when a second service that the terminal cannot predict arrives, that is, the terminal does not have a service prediction capability for the second service, the network device waits for the terminal to enter an active state according to the discontinuous reception configuration, schedules transmission resources, and sends service data to the UE. The location of the transmission resources can be determined according to the discontinuous reception configuration.

[0185] For example, when the terminal does not have the ability to predict the service of multimedia services, if the network device determines that the multimedia service has arrived, it can determine the time when the terminal enters the activation state based on the discontinuous reception configuration indicated by the third information, and then send the service data corresponding to the multimedia service based on the time when the terminal enters the activation state.

Optionally, the network device determines the transmission resources for transmitting service data based on the first information.

Optionally, the service data may be sent by the network device after determining the arrival of a second service and after the terminal enters an active state according to a discontinuous reception configuration.
