Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, and more particularly, to a communication method and apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0002] Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is a science and engineering that simulates, extends and expands human intelligence. In a network used by an AP and a STA for communication, an AI model can be used to process WLAN measurement data to obtain a WLAN optimization strategy.

[0003] In the current scheme, the WLAN optimization strategy is often directly generated by an AI model deployed on the STA side, which puts pressure on the operation of the STA. When the AI model is offline, if the STA lacks a corresponding processing module or required information of the AI model, the WLAN optimization strategy generation fails. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a technical solution in which an AP and a STA interact to implement WLAN optimization strategy generation.

[0005] In a first aspect, a communication method is provided, which can be performed by an AP. In the absence of special description, the "AP" in the present application can refer to the AP itself, a component (for example, a processor, a chip, or a chip system, etc.) in the AP, or a logic module or software capable of realizing all or part of the functions of the AP apparatus.

[0006] The method includes: an access point (AP) sending a first frame to a station (STA), the first frame being used to instruct the STA to use at least one first module of a first model to obtain first information, the first information corresponding to a first strategy, the first strategy being used for optimization of a wireless local area network (WLAN) between the AP and the STA; the AP sending second information and / or a second module to the STA, wherein the second information is required information for the at least one first module to obtain the first information, and the second module is a module in the at least one first module. Thus, the AP and the STA interact in terms of information and / or modules, reducing the computational burden on the STA side and ensuring the generation of the WLAN optimization strategy.

[0007] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second information comprises information obtained by the AP after processing by a third module, the third module being a module of the first model other than the at least one first module. That is, the AP is deployed with part of the modules of the first model, and the input information of the first model is first processed by the part of the modules deployed on the AP, and then the intermediate layer aggregated information is sent to the STA, so as to reduce the data amount of the second information and reduce the computation amount on the STA.

[0008] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further comprises: receiving, by the AP, the first information from the STA; and parsing, by the AP, the first information to obtain the first policy. The target node of the first policy can be the STA, the AP, or a communication device using the WLAN. After the AP obtains the first policy, when the target node of the first policy is the AP, the AP can directly use the first policy; and when the target node of the first policy is the STA or the communication device using the WLAN, the first policy can be sent to the STA or the communication device using the WLAN.

[0009] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the parsing, by the AP, of the first information comprises: processing, by the AP, the first information by a fourth module to obtain the first policy. In this case, the first information can be the second aggregated information, that is, information processed by the backbone module. By receiving the first information by the AP and completing the subsequent processing of the first information, the computation amount of the STA can be reduced.

[0010] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, before the parsing, by the AP, of the first information, the method further comprises: receiving, by the AP, the fourth module from the STA. Thus, it is ensured that the AP can process the first information.

[0011] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second information comprises at least one of: measurement data, instruction information, code information, or intermediate layer aggregated information. Thus, after receiving the second information, the STA can output the first information. When the second information comprises the measurement data, the measurement data can specifically refer to WLAN measurement data, which can be collected by the AP, or collected by the STA and / or the first device using the WLAN and then sent to the AP. When the second information comprises the instruction information and / or the code information, the instruction information and / or the code information can be input by a user, or a knowledge base can also be deployed in the AP, and the instruction information and / or the code information can be obtained by the knowledge base. In addition, the STA can also collect data by using its own device, or receive transmitted information from other communication devices other than the AP. In addition, a knowledge base can also be deployed in the STA, and the instruction information and / or the code information can be obtained by the knowledge base. The present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0012] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second information comprises at least one of the following: instruction information, measurement data, corresponding features of the instruction information, corresponding features of the measurement data, first aggregated information, or second aggregated information; the first model comprises: a fifth module configured to process the instruction information to obtain the corresponding features of the instruction information; a sixth module configured to process the measurement data to obtain the corresponding features of the measurement data; a seventh module configured to process the corresponding features of the instruction information and the corresponding features of the measurement data to obtain the first aggregated information; an eighth module configured to process the first aggregated information to obtain the second aggregated information; a ninth module configured to process the second aggregated information to obtain the first policy; and / or a tenth module configured to perform a first function or a second function, the first function being processing the second aggregated information to obtain an optimized first policy, the second function being processing the first policy to obtain an optimized first policy. That is, the first model specifically comprises an LLM model.

[0013] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first frame comprises third information, the third information being used to indicate a correspondence between the second information and at least one first module. Thus, the STA can input the received second information into a corresponding module in the at least one first module, so as to obtain the first information.

[0014] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first frame comprises fourth information, the fourth information being used to indicate a function performed by a tenth module and / or an eleventh module, the tenth module being included in the at least one first module, the eleventh module being a module in the first model other than the at least one first module, and the eleventh module being deployed on the AP. That is, the fourth information can specifically indicate a function performed by a module of the first model deployed on the STA.

[0015] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first frame comprises fifth information, the fifth information being used to indicate that the STA discards a twelfth module. Thus, when processing, the STA can skip a corresponding module, and correctly obtain the first information.

[0016] With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further comprises: sending, by the AP, sixth information to the STA, the sixth information being used to instruct the STA to send a thirteenth module, the thirteenth module being a module in the first model other than the at least one first module. That is, the AP can instruct the STA to send a module not deployed on the AP to the AP, so that the AP can finally parse the first information and correctly obtain the first policy.

Through the frame interaction between the AP and the STA, the AP and the STA are initialized to perform respective tasks using the first model. In addition, the AP and the STA can also carry task-related information in the second frame and the third frame, respectively, so as to facilitate the AP and the STA to determine how to obtain WLAN measurement data and instruction information. In addition, the AP and the STA can also carry related parameter information of the AI model in the second frame and the third frame, respectively, so as to facilitate the AP and the STA to perform format alignment.

When describing that certain indication information is for indicating A, it can include that the indication information directly indicates A or indirectly indicates A, and does not mean that A must be carried in the indication information.

[0060] The information indicated by the indication information is referred to as to-be-indicated information. In a specific implementation process, there are many ways to indicate the to-be-indicated information, for example, but not limited to, the to-be-indicated information can be directly indicated, such as the to-be-indicated information itself or an index of the to-be-indicated information. The to-be-indicated information can also be indirectly indicated by indicating other information, where the other information and the to-be-indicated information have an association relationship. The to-be-indicated information can also be indicated only by a part of the to-be-indicated information, and the other part of the to-be-indicated information is known or agreed in advance. For example, the indication of specific information can also be implemented by means of the arrangement order of each information agreed in advance (for example, a protocol). In this way, the indication overhead is reduced to a certain extent. At the same time, the common part of each information can be identified and uniformly indicated, so as to reduce the indication overhead caused by separately indicating the same information.

In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, "S310" and the like are only used for identification for the convenience of description, and do not limit the order of execution steps.

[0062] Thirdly, in the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design presented as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions.

[0065] Sixth, in the embodiments of the present application, "in the case of", "when", "if" can be mixed sometimes, it should be pointed out that the meaning expressed is consistent when the distinction is not emphasized.

[0066] Seventh, the term "and / or" herein is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " herein generally represents that the associated objects before and after are an "or" relationship.

[0067] Eighth, in the embodiments of the present application, some of the drawings related to the message structure give examples of the names of the fields in the message. It should be understood that the names of the fields shown in the drawings of the embodiments of the present application are only examples, and in actual application, the name of any field can change.

[0070] Although the embodiments of the present application are mainly described by taking the deployment of WLAN network, especially the network applying IEEE 802.11 system standard as an example, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that various aspects involved in the embodiments of the present application can be extended to other networks applying various standards or protocols, for example, high performance radio local area network (HIPERLAN), wireless wide area network (WWAN), wireless personal area network (WPAN) or other now known or later developed networks. Therefore, various aspects provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any suitable wireless network regardless of the coverage range and wireless access protocol used.

As Figure 1As shown, the communication method provided in the present application is applicable to data communication between stations (STA), wherein the station can be an access point (AP) type station or a non-access point type station (non-AP STA), which are referred to as AP and non-AP station respectively. Specifically, Figure 1 The scenario shown in (a) is applicable to data communication between an AP and one or more non-AP stations (for example, data communication between AP1 and non-AP STA1, non-AP STA2), data communication between an AP and another AP (for example, data communication between AP1 and AP2), and data communication between non-AP stations (for example, data communication between non-AP STA2 and non-AP STA3).

[0074] The access point (AP) can be a node for terminals (for example, mobile phones) to enter wired (or wireless) networks, and is mainly deployed in homes, buildings and campuses, with a typical coverage radius of tens of meters to hundreds of meters. Of course, it can also be deployed outdoors. The access point serves as a bridge connecting wired and wireless networks, and its main function is to connect various wireless network clients together and then access the Ethernet network.

[0075] Specifically, the access point (AP) can be a terminal or network device with a Wi-Fi chip, or a terminal or network device including a chip with access to wired (wireless) networks. The network device can be a server, router, switch, bridge, computer, mobile phone, relay station, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, network device in a 5G network, network device in a future communication network, or network device in a public land mobile network (PLMN), etc. The access point can be a device supporting Wi-Fi standards. For example, the access point can also support one or more standards of the IEEE 802.11 series, such as 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax, 802.11be, 802.11ad, 802.11ay, etc.

[0079] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application, the concepts or terms involved in the present application are first explained.

[0080] 1. Artificial intelligence (AI)

[0081] AI technology is the science and engineering of simulating, extending, and expanding human intelligence. The working principle of AI can be understood through the following steps: data collection, data preprocessing, feature extraction, model training, decision making, etc. Among them, the data collection step refers to collecting data used by the large model as learning. Data preprocessing is to clean up and format the original data collected. Feature extraction is to process the data to obtain important features or variables in the data. Features are representative attributes of data that can help the model better understand the data. Model training, by training data that has been preprocessed and / or extracted features, obtains corresponding prediction results or makes decisions.

[0082] 2. Optimizing WLAN based on AI

[0083] AI models can be used to optimize WLAN. Specifically, when WLAN is used for AP and STA communication, AI models can be used to process WLAN measurement data to obtain WLAN optimization strategies.

[0084] In some implementations, the WLAN measurement data described above can include at least one of the following: historical beam selection information, historical channel selection information, channel state information (CSI), transmission power, modulation and coding scheme (MCS), channel utilization, packet error rate (PER), received signal strength indication (RSSI), delay, contention window, clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold, number of STAs using WLAN, etc.

[0085] In some implementations, the WLAN optimization strategy can include at least one of the following: CCA threshold adjustment, contention window adjustment, channel switching or selection, beam switching or selection, modulation and coding scheme switching or selection, signal transmission period, etc.

[0086] For example, the AI model can process the following WLAN measurement data: the number of STAs using WLAN, the RSSI of the STA, the PER of the STA, and adjust the transmission period of the WLAN beacon frame (i.e., the WLAN optimization strategy).

[0087] In addition, the AI model can also be used to aggregate information of multiple modalities to obtain the WLAN optimization strategy. For example, in addition to WLAN measurement data, the AI model can also process instruction information, code information, image information, voice information, and the like to obtain the WLAN optimization strategy, and the present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0088] It should be understood that the device for actually collecting WLAN measurement data is not limited in the present application, and the WLAN measurement data can be collected by an AP, a STA, or a first device using the WLAN. The WLAN optimization strategy can be a strategy used by the AP, the STA, or the first device. The device for collecting WLAN measurement data can or can not correspond to the device using the WLAN optimization strategy, and the actual situation determines.

[0089] 3. AI model

[0090] In the present application, the first model is used to generate the WLAN optimization strategy, and the first model can be specifically one or a combination of the following models: artificial intelligence, artificial general intelligence (AGI), artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC), generative AI, machine learning (ML), deep learning, large language model (LLM), and the like. The first model can be implemented based on one or more of the following neural networks:

[0091] neural network, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), Transformer model (a deep learning model based on self-attention mechanism), and the like. The first model can process data based on one or more of the following methods: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, feature selection, model training, model evaluation, linear regression, decision tree, support vector machine, use of operators, and the like. The present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0092] Figure 2is a structural schematic diagram of a first model provided by an embodiment of the present application. In some implementations, the first model can include a large language model (LLM), which is a large-scale neural network model capable of understanding and generating natural language text.

[0093] The specific processing of the LLM can include at least one of the following: word segmentation, word embedding, feature extraction, preprocessing, aggregation, post-processing, parameter tuning, etc. Among them, word segmentation is used to divide natural language into meaningful lexical units. Word embedding is used to convert text data into vector representation. Feature extraction and preprocessing have been described above and will not be repeated here. Aggregation is mainly used to process information of different modalities or different sources to obtain aggregated information. Post-processing is mainly used to convert the output results of the AI model into a form that can be understood and operated. Parameter tuning is mainly used to optimize (also can be understood as improve) the output results of the AI model to achieve better performance and effect. Among them, the above processing can be realized through the modules directly corresponding to the processing in the LLM or the combined modules corresponding to multiple processing.

[0094] As shown in Figure 2 as an implementation manner, the first model can include the following modules:

[0095] The instruction processing module 210 is configured to process the instruction information to obtain corresponding features of the instruction information. The instruction processing module 210 can specifically include a word segmenter and an embedding layer to obtain the corresponding features of the instruction information. The instruction information can be natural language and / or code information. In some implementations, the instruction information can be a prompt word. The corresponding features of the instruction information can also be understood as the intermediate layer aggregation information of the first model. The corresponding features of the instruction information can be in the form of a vector, a matrix or a tensor.

[0096] The data processing module 220 is configured to process the measurement data to obtain corresponding features of the measurement data. The data processing module 220 can include a data preprocessing module and a neural network layer. The measurement data can refer to WLAN measurement data, and the measurement data can be in the form of a data vector or a combination of a data vector and natural language. The corresponding features of the measurement data can be in the form of a numerical vector, a matrix or a tensor.

[0097] The aggregation module 230 is configured to process the corresponding features of the instruction information and the corresponding features of the measurement data to obtain first aggregation information. The aggregation module 230 can include a neural network layer and / or at least one operator. The neural network layer can be a linear layer, a convolutional layer, a Transformer, etc. The at least one operator can include a concatenation operator, a corresponding operator for taking the maximum value, etc. The aggregation module 230 can be configured to aggregate at least two modal information including the corresponding features of the instruction information and the corresponding features of the measurement data to obtain the first aggregation information. The first aggregation information is in the form of a multi-dimensional tensor.

[0098] The backbone module 240 is configured to process the first aggregation information to obtain second aggregation information. The backbone module 240 is a core module of the first model and is configured to extract features of the first aggregation information and / or perform aggregation. The backbone module 240 can include one or more neural network layers, for example, composed of several or hundreds of Transformers. The second aggregation information is in the form of a multi-dimensional tensor.

[0099] The output processing module 250 and / or the tuning module 260.

[0100] The output processing module 250 is configured to process the second aggregation information to obtain a first policy. The output processing module 250 can include a neural network layer and / or a post-processing module. The output processing module 250 can be composed of at least one linear layer and a normalization exponential function layer. The output processing module 250 can also be referred to as a softmax layer. The first policy is a WLAN optimization policy actually used by an AP, an STA, or a first device.

[0101] The tuning module 260 is configured to perform a first function or a second function. The first function is processing the second aggregation information to obtain a tuned first policy, and the second function is processing the first policy to obtain a tuned first policy. When performing the first function, the first model discards the output processing module 250, and the tuning module 260 directly outputs the tuned first policy using the second aggregation information output by the backbone module 240 as input. When performing the second function, the tuning module 260 outputs the tuned first policy using the first policy output by the output processing module 250 as input. The tuning module can include at least one neural network layer. The tuned first policy is obtained by parameter tuning the first policy. The first policy is also a WLAN optimization policy actually used by an AP, an STA, or a first device. Taking adjusting the transmission period of a WLAN beacon frame as an example, the first policy obtained by the first model corresponds to a transmission period of 100 milliseconds for a WLAN beacon frame, and the tuned first policy corresponds to a transmission period of 75 milliseconds for a WLAN beacon frame.

[0102] It should be understood that the names of the above modules are only exemplary names of the first model combined with specific implementation functions, and do not constitute actual limitations. In addition, the above modules can also be split into multiple modules according to actual application or processing; or, the above multiple modules can also be combined into one module according to actual application or processing; or, the first model can bypass part of the modules when performing tasks, and can also obtain the WLAN optimization strategy (that is, the first strategy or the first strategy after optimization). The specific determination is made according to the actual situation.

[0103] In addition, it should be understood that the above-mentioned "feature" can also be understood as an intermediate layer aggregation information generated by the first model. That is, the "feature" in the present application can be replaced by "aggregation information".

[0104] In the current scheme, the WLAN optimization strategy is often directly generated by the AI model deployed on the STA side, which puts pressure on the operation of the STA. When the AI model is offline, if the STA lacks the corresponding processing module or the required information of the AI model, the WLAN optimization strategy generation will fail.

[0105] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a technical scheme for interaction between AP and STA to realize WLAN optimization strategy generation.

[0106] Figure 3 A communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The method can include steps S310-S320.

[0107] S310, the AP sends a first frame to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the first frame from the AP.

[0108] The first frame is used to instruct the STA to obtain first information using at least one first module of the first model. The first information corresponds to the first strategy, and the first strategy is used for optimization of the wireless local area network WLAN between the AP and the STA.

[0109] The at least one first module can be all or part of the modules of the first model. In some implementations, the at least one first module includes a backbone module, which is the core of the first model. The backbone module can be used for feature extraction and / or aggregation, that is, the module with large operation amount is deployed on the STA to run, so as to ensure the generation of the WLAN optimization strategy.

[0110] In some embodiments, the at least one first module includes a module with input of raw data, which can refer to WLAN measurement data. In some embodiments, the at least one first module includes a module with input of instruction information and / or code information. In some embodiments, the at least one first module includes a module with input of intermediate layer aggregation information. In some embodiments, the at least one first module includes a module with output of intermediate layer aggregation information. In some embodiments, the at least one first module includes a module with output of second aggregation information. In some embodiments, the at least one first module includes a module with output of first policy or the optimized first policy. The actual situation determines.

[0111] The first information corresponds to the information output by the at least one first module. The first information can be intermediate layer aggregation information (including first aggregation information and second aggregation information), first policy or the optimized first policy. The actual situation determines.

[0112] In S320, the AP sends the second information and / or the second module to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the second information and / or the second module from the AP.

[0113] The second information is the required information for the at least one first module to obtain the first information. It can also be understood as the input information of the at least one first module. The second information can include at least one of the following: measurement data, instruction information, code information or intermediate layer aggregation information. Thus, after receiving the second information, the STA can output the first information. When the second information includes measurement data, the measurement data can specifically refer to WLAN measurement data, which can be collected by the AP or collected by the STA and / or the first device using the WLAN and then sent to the AP. When the second information includes instruction information and / or code information, the instruction information and / or code information can be input by a user or the AP can also be deployed with a knowledge base to obtain the instruction information and / or code information. In addition, the STA can also collect data by using its own device or receive transmitted information from other communication devices other than the AP. In addition, the STA can also be deployed with a knowledge base to obtain the instruction information and / or code information. The present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0114] The second module is a module in the at least one first module, so that the module not deployed on the STA is sent to the STA to ensure that the STA can output the first information. In some embodiments, the second module is a module other than the backbone module in the at least one first module, that is, the module with large amount of calculation is deployed on the STA. In addition, in some embodiments, the STA can also download the module in the at least one first module from the server, and the present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0115] In some embodiments, the second information comprises information obtained by the AP after processing by a third module, the third module being a module in the first model other than the at least one first module. That is, the AP deploys part of the modules of the first model, and the part of the modules deployed on the AP first processes the input information of the first model, and then sends the intermediate layer aggregated information to the STA, so as to reduce the data amount of the second information and reduce the operation amount on the STA. In some embodiments, the third module can comprise a module with input of raw data, and the raw data can refer to WLAN measurement data. In some embodiments, the third module can comprise a module with input of instruction information and / or code information. In some embodiments, the third module comprises a module with output of intermediate layer aggregated information. In addition, the third module can not comprise a backbone module, that is, a core module with large operation amount is not deployed on the AP. In the above case, the second information can specifically comprise the intermediate layer aggregated information.

[0116] In addition, in some embodiments, before step S320, the STA can send indication information to the AP, the indication information being used to instruct the AP to send the second information and / or the second module. Correspondingly, the AP receives the indication information from the STA. That is, after receiving the first frame, the STA requests the AP for the second information and / or the second module according to the device condition of the STA. In addition, the AP can also directly determine whether to send the second information and / or the second module to the STA, and determine according to the actual condition.

[0117] In addition, due to the large amount of transmission data, the second information and / or the second module can be sent through one or more physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs), and the present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0118] In some embodiments, the method shown in Figure 3 may further comprise steps S330-S350.

[0119] S330, the STA obtains the first information using the at least one first module. The at least one first module used by the STA and the first information have been described in connection with step S310, and will not be described here again.

[0120] S340, the STA sends the first information to the AP. Correspondingly, the AP receives the first information from the STA.

[0121] S350, the AP analyzes the first information to obtain the first strategy.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first information is the first strategy or the first strategy after optimization. That is, the STA directly generates the WLAN optimization strategy that can be actually used by using at least one first module of the first model. In this case, the AP can obtain the first strategy by directly analyzing the first information.

[0123] In some embodiments, the AP analyzes the first information, including: the AP processes the first information by using a fourth module to obtain the first strategy. The fourth module can be a module in the first model. In this case, the first information can be the second aggregated information, that is, the information after the backbone module processing. By receiving the first information by the AP and completing the subsequent processing of the first information, the computational load of the STA can be reduced. The fourth module can be directly deployed on the AP. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the AP receives the fourth module from the STA, so as to ensure that the AP can process the first information.

[0124] In addition, the target node of the first strategy can be the STA, the AP or the communication device using the WLAN. That is, after the AP obtains the first strategy, when the target node of the first strategy is the AP, the AP can directly use the first strategy; when the target node of the first strategy is the STA or the communication device using the WLAN, the first strategy can be transmitted to the STA or the communication device using the WLAN.

[0125] In the method as shown in Figure 3 , the information and / or module interaction is performed by the AP and the STA, the computational load of the STA is reduced, and the generation of the WLAN optimization strategy is ensured.

[0126] In the following, the specific implementation of the communication method provided by the present application is described in conjunction with the accompanying Figure 4 The specific implementation of the communication method provided by the present application is described.

[0127] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of another communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 In the method as shown in Figure 2 , the configuration of the first model is taken as an example to exemplarily illustrate the specific implementation of the communication method.

[0128] As shown in Figure 4 (a), the communication method can include steps S411-S451. In the method as shown in Figure 4 (a), the AP directly transmits the original information of the first model for generating the first strategy to the STA, and directly generates the first strategy on the STA.

[0129] Step S411, the AP sends a first frame to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the first frame from the AP. The first frame is used to instruct the STA to obtain first information using at least one first module of the first model. The at least one first module includes an instruction processing module, a data processing module, an aggregation module, a backbone module, and an output processing module. The first information is a first policy. The first policy is used for optimization of a wireless local area network (WLAN) between the AP and the STA.

[0130] Step S421, the AP sends second information and a second module to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the second information and the second module from the AP. The second information includes WLAN measurement data and instruction information. The second module is a data processing module.

[0131] Step S431, the AP processes the second information through the at least one first module to obtain the first information.

[0132] Specifically, the STA processes the instruction information through the instruction processing module to obtain corresponding features of the instruction information.

[0133] The STA processes the WLAN measurement data through the data processing module to obtain corresponding features of the WLAN measurement data.

[0134] The STA processes the corresponding features of the instruction information and the corresponding features of the WLAN measurement data through the aggregation module to obtain first aggregation information.

[0135] The STA processes the first aggregation information through the backbone module to obtain second aggregation information.

[0136] The STA processes the second aggregation information through the output processing module to obtain the first information, which is the first policy.

[0137] Step S441, the STA sends the first information to the AP. Correspondingly, the AP receives the first information from the STA.

[0138] Step S451, the AP parses the first information to obtain the first policy.

[0139] As shown in (b) of the first aspect, the communication method can include steps S412-S462. In the method shown in (b) of the first aspect, the AP first processes the original information of the first policy of the first model, obtains the intermediate layer aggregation information, and then sends it to the STA, and directly generates the first policy on the STA. Figure 4 Figure 4 In the method shown in (b) of the first aspect, the AP first processes the original information of the first policy of the first model, obtains the intermediate layer aggregation information, and then sends it to the STA, and directly generates the first policy on the STA.

[0140] ​In step S412, the AP sends a first frame to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the first frame from the AP. The first frame instructs the STA to obtain first information using at least one first module of a first model. This at least one first module includes an instruction processing module, an aggregation module, a backbone module, and a tuning module. The first information is a tuned first strategy. The tuned first strategy is used to optimize the wireless local area network (WLAN) communication between the AP and the STA.

[0141] In step S422, the AP processes the WLAN measurement data through the data processing module to obtain the corresponding characteristics of the WLAN measurement data.

[0142] In step S432, the AP sends second information to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the second information from the AP. The second information includes the corresponding characteristics and instruction information of the WLAN measurement data.

[0143] In step S442, the AP processes the second information through at least one first module to obtain the first information.

[0144] Specifically, the STA processes the instruction information through the instruction processing module to obtain the corresponding characteristics of the instruction information.

[0145] The STA processes the corresponding features of the command information and the corresponding features of the WLAN measurement data through the aggregation module to obtain the first aggregated information.

[0146] STA processes the second aggregated information through the tuning module to obtain the first information, which is the tuned first strategy.

[0147] In step S452, the STA sends the first message to the AP. Correspondingly, the AP receives the first message from the STA.

[0148] In step S462, AP parses the first information to obtain the optimized first strategy.

[0149] like Figure 4 As shown in (c), the communication method may include steps S413-S453. In such a case... Figure 4 In the method shown in (c), intermediate layer aggregation information is generated by the STA using some modules of the first model, and then the intermediate layer aggregation information is sent to the AP. The AP generates the first strategy through the remaining modules.

[0150] Step S413, the AP sends a first frame to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the first frame from the AP. The first frame is used to instruct the STA to obtain first information using at least one first module of a first model. The at least one first module includes an instruction processing module, a data processing module, an aggregation module and a backbone module. The first information is second aggregation information. The second aggregation information corresponds to a first strategy, and the first strategy is used for optimization of a wireless local area network (WLAN) between the AP and the STA.

[0151] Step S423, the AP sends second information to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the second information from the AP. The second information includes WLAN measurement data and instruction information.

[0152] Step S433, the AP processes the second information through the at least one first module to obtain the first information.

[0153] Specifically, the STA processes the instruction information through the instruction processing module to obtain corresponding features of the instruction information.

[0154] The STA processes the WLAN measurement data through the data processing module to obtain corresponding features of the WLAN measurement data.

[0155] The STA processes the corresponding features of the instruction information and the corresponding features of the WLAN measurement data through the aggregation module to obtain first aggregation information.

[0156] The STA processes the first aggregation information through the backbone module to obtain the second aggregation information.

[0157] Step S443, the STA sends the first information to the AP. Correspondingly, the AP receives the first information from the STA. The first information is the second aggregation information.

[0158] Step S453, the AP processes the second aggregation information to obtain the first strategy. For example, the AP can process the second aggregation information through an output processing module to obtain the first strategy. Alternatively, the AP processes the second information through a tuning module to obtain the first strategy by performing a first function. Alternatively, the AP processes the second aggregation information through the output processing module to obtain the first strategy, and processes the first strategy through the tuning module to obtain a tuned first strategy by performing a second function.

[0159] It should be understood that the accompanying Figure 4 Only one specific AI model is combined to illustrate part of the implementation of the method as Figure 3 shown, and the technical solutions obtained by those skilled in the art in combination with the above drawings should still be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0160] In the following, the technical solutions obtained by those skilled in the art in combination with the aboveFigures 5 to 9 The frame structure involved in the embodiments of this application will be described.

[0161] In such Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the first frame described herein, in order to instruct the STA to use at least one first module of the first model to obtain first information, the first frame may specifically include one or more of the following information.

[0162] The first frame includes third information used to enable at least one first module. This activates the modules of the first model deployed on the STA, enabling the enabled modules to perform corresponding functions. In some implementations, the first frame may include at least one field, which corresponds one-to-one with at least one first module, and a field within that field is used to enable the corresponding first module.

[0163] The first frame includes fourth information, which indicates that the AP will send the first information and / or the second module. Upon receiving this information, the STA can reserve a transmission opportunity for the AP to receive the first information and / or the second module.

[0164] The first frame includes fifth information, which indicates the correspondence between the second information and at least one first module. This "correspondence between the second information and at least one first module" can also be understood as "the routing of the second information within at least one first module." By obtaining the fifth information, the STA can input the received second information into the corresponding module within the at least one first module, thereby obtaining the first information.

[0165] The first frame includes sixth information, which indicates the functions performed by the fifth module and / or the sixth module. The fifth module is included in at least one first module, and the sixth module is a module in the first model other than at least one first module. The sixth module is deployed on the AP. That is, the sixth information can specifically indicate the functions performed by the modules of the first model deployed on the STA. In this case, the STA can directly determine the functions performed by the modules of the first model deployed on the STA through the sixth information. Alternatively, the sixth information can specifically indicate the functions performed by the modules of the first model deployed on the AP. In this case, the STA can infer the functions performed by the modules of the first model deployed on the STA through the sixth information. Alternatively, the sixth information can specifically indicate the functions performed by the modules of the first model deployed on both the AP and the STA; this application does not limit this. Furthermore, in some implementations, a module may perform different functions, for example... Figure 2 The tuning module shown can execute the first function or the second function. The sixth information can specifically indicate the function to be executed by the tuning module to ensure the correct generation of the first information.

[0166] The first frame comprises seventh information, and the seventh information is used to instruct the STA to discard the seventh module. Therefore, when the STA processes, the STA can skip the corresponding module and correctly obtain the first information.

[0167] The first frame comprises eighth information, and the eighth information is used to instruct the STA to send the eighth module, and the eighth module is a module in the first model except at least one first module. In addition, the eighth information can also not be included in the first frame, and the eighth information can also be sent by the AP to the STA alone, and the present application does not make any limitation in this regard. That is, the AP can instruct the STA to send the module not deployed in the AP to the AP, so as to ensure that the AP can finally analyze the first information and correctly obtain the first strategy.

[0168] The first frame comprises ninth information, and the ninth information is used to instruct the AP to sample measurement data, or the STA to sample measurement data, or the first device to sample measurement data. In addition, the ninth information can also not be included in the first frame, and the ninth information can also be sent by the AP to the STA alone, and the present application does not make any limitation in this regard. That is, the AP can specifically instruct the source of the sampling strategy data to obtain the original data for generating the first strategy.

[0169] It should be understood that in the first frame, the above information can be indicated by one or more fields, which is determined according to the actual situation. In addition, the above information can also be combined and indicated by one field, which is determined according to the actual situation, and the present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0170] Figure 5 It is a structure schematic diagram of a first frame provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The frame structure shown is specifically in the IEEE 802.11 standard. Figure 2 The configuration of the first model in the embodiment is taken as an example. As shown in the figure, the first frame can comprise an aggregation method, a first route, a second route, a first sending information type, a second sending information type, upload information, and a measurement data location field. Figure 5

[0171] The aggregation method field can be referred to as a "DMIF_method" field. DMIF specifically refers to dual-modality information fusion (DMIF). The aggregation method field can indicate different aggregation methods by different values. For example, the aggregation method field can adopt 2 bits, and indicate the following values:

[0199] In addition, before the communication method shown in Figure 3 or Figure 4 is implemented, the AP and the STA can first determine the tasks corresponding to the first strategy performed by the first model between the AP and the STA through negotiation.

[0200] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of another communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method shown in Figure 7 may be performed before the method shown in Figure 3 or Figure 4 . As shown in Figure 7 , the method includes steps S710-S720.

[0201] S710, the AP sends a second frame to the STA. Correspondingly, the STA receives the second frame from the AP. The second frame is used to request the STA to obtain the first strategy. The second frame is used to indicate a first task, and the first task corresponds to obtaining first information by using at least one first module of the first model. It can also be understood that the first task can include part, all or corresponding content of the "obtaining first information by using at least one first module of the first model". For example, the first task can be specifically "the AP and the STA obtaining the first strategy by using the first model", "obtaining the first information", "initializing the first model", "obtaining corresponding information of the first strategy", and the like.

[0202] In some implementations, the second frame is also used to request at least one of the following: a type of the first strategy, a target node using the first strategy, a model version supported by the AP, a target module size, or a module deployed on the AP. The target module size can specifically refer to a target size of the backbone module expected by the AP, or the target module size can specifically refer to a target size of other modules in the first model expected by the AP, which is determined according to actual conditions.

[0205] In the method as Figure 7 indicated, the AP and the STA first perform frame interaction, so as to initialize the AP and the STA to perform respective tasks using the first model. In addition, the AP and the STA can also respectively carry task-related information in the second frame and the third frame, so as to facilitate the AP and the STA to determine how to obtain WLAN measurement data and instruction information. In addition, the AP and the STA can also respectively carry relevant parameter information of the AI model in the second frame and the third frame, so as to facilitate the AP and the STA to perform format alignment.

[0206] Figure 8 FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a second frame provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 The frame structure as Figure 2 indicated can specifically take the configuration of the first model in the WLAN as an example. As Figure 8 indicated, the second frame can specifically include an element identifier, a length, an element identifier extension, and a task function request field.

[0207] The element identifier field can be referred to as “element ID”. The element identifier field can be used to indicate the function or type of the second frame.

[0208] The length field can be referred to as “length”. The length field can be used to indicate the length of the second frame, or the corresponding length of the first part of the second frame, which includes the fields of the second frame located after the length field in the frame format.

[0209] The element identifier extension field can be referred to as “element ID extension”. The element identifier extension field is an optional field, and the element identifier field and the element identifier extension field can be combined to indicate the function or type of the second frame.

[0210] The task function request field can specifically include a task type, a node identifier, a target size, and a module upload field. Among them:

[0211] The task type field is used to indicate the corresponding type of the first task.

[0212] The node identifier field is used to indicate the target node using the first strategy.

[0213] The target size field is used to indicate a target size of the backbone module.

[0214] The module upload field is used to indicate whether the STA uploads one or more modules in the first model. For example, it can be indicated whether the STA uploads the tuning module.

[0215] Figure 9 is a structural diagram of a third frame provided by an embodiment of the present application. The third frame is used to respond to the second frame as shown in Figure 8 As shown in Figure 9 The third frame can specifically include an element identifier, a length, an element identifier extension, and a task function feedback field.

[0216] The element identifier field can be referred to as "element ID". The element identifier field can be used to indicate the function or type of the third frame.

[0217] The length field can be referred to as "length". The length field can be used to indicate the length of the third frame, or the corresponding length of the second part of the third frame, which includes the fields of the third frame that are located after the length field in the frame format.

[0218] The element identifier extension field can be referred to as "element ID extension". The element identifier extension field is an optional field, and the element identifier field and the element identifier extension field can be combined to indicate the function or type of the third frame.

[0219] The task function feedback field can specifically include a supported model version, an available upload module version field, etc. Among them:

[0220] The supported model version field is used to indicate the AI model version supported by the STA.

[0221] The available upload module version field can be used to indicate the module version supported by the STA. For example, it can indicate the version of the tuning module that needs to be uploaded by the STA.

[0222] Therefore, after receiving the third frame, the AP can configure the required information of the first model and the response module according to the third frame. For example, the AP can determine the corresponding template of the instruction information according to the model version supported by the STA, the token corresponding to the instruction information, the matched module, etc. In addition, the AP can also determine the number of measurement data, the size of the intermediate layer aggregation information, the aggregation relationship between the intermediate layer aggregation information, etc.

[0223] In addition, after the STA obtains the first information using at least one first module of the first model, a fourth frame containing the first information can be sent to the AP. Therefore, after receiving the fourth frame, the AP can parse the fourth frame to obtain the first information.

[0224] In some implementations, the fourth frame further includes tenth information, the tenth information being used to indicate a type of the first information. Thus, the AP can determine how to parse the first information to obtain the first policy according to the tenth information.

[0225] In some implementations, the fourth frame further includes eleventh information, the eleventh information being used to indicate that the STA has abandoned the ninth module. Thus, the AP can determine the module that needs to be specifically used to parse the first information to obtain the first policy according to the eleventh information.

[0226] Figure 10 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a fourth frame provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 10 The frame structure shown in the figure is specifically as follows Figure 2 The configuration of the first model in the figure is taken as an example. As shown in the figure Figure 10 The fourth frame can specifically include an output length, an output, an output type, an external method, and the like.

[0227] The output length field can be referred to as “output len”. The output length field is used to indicate the length of the output field. The output length field can adopt 1 integer variable.

[0228] The output field can be referred to as “output”. The output field can contain the first information.

[0229] The output type field can be referred to as “prh ind”. The output type field is used to indicate the type of the first information. For example:

[0230] The value of 0 indicates that the first information is the first policy.

[0231] The value of 1 indicates that the first information is the first policy after tuning.

[0232] The external method field can be referred to as “extn method”. The external method field is used to indicate the position of the STA to obtain the first information. This field is mainly used for the AP to perform statistics.

[0233] The value of 0 indicates that the STA obtains the first information on the STA itself.

[0234] The value of 1 indicates that the STA obtains the first information on a server (for example, a cloud server).
