[0253] Example 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture for a user plane and a control plane according to this application, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and the control plane 300. Figure 3 The radio protocol architecture for control plane 300 is illustrated using three layers: Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3. Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (Physical Layer) signal processing functions. L1 layer will be referred to as PHY301 in this document. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 sits above PHY301 and includes the MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, the RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and the PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304.

The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembly of upper-layer packets, retransmission of lost packets, and packet reordering to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request). MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between the logical and transport channels. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell.

The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in Layer 3 (L3) of the control plane 300 is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and using RRC signaling to configure the lower layers. The radio protocol architecture of the user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2).

[0278] Example 4

[0279] Example 4 shows schematic diagrams of a first communication device and a second communication device according to this application, as shown in the appendix. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a first communication device 450 and a second communication device 410 communicating with each other in the access network.

[0280] The first communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter / receiver 454, and an antenna 452.

[0281] The second communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475, a memory 476, a receiver processor 470, a transmitter processor 416, a multi-antenna receiver processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitter processor 471, a transmitter / receiver 418, and an antenna 420.

[0282] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the second communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 layer functionality. In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the first communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the first communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 410, and mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK), M-QAM). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more spatial streams. Transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to subcarriers, multiplexes it with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and subsequently uses inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding / beamforming operations on the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitter processor 471 into an radio frequency stream, which is then provided to different antennas 420.

[0283] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the first communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream, which is then provided to the receiver processor 456. The receiver processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 implement various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiver processor 458 performs receive analog precoding / beamforming operations on the baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiver processor 456 uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding / beamforming operations from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiver processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered in the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 after multi-antenna detection to recover any spatial stream destined for the first communication device 450. Symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered in the receive processor 456, generating soft decisions. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper-layer data and control signals transmitted by the second communication device 410 over the physical channel. The upper-layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements the functions of Layer 2. The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 storing program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transport and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the core network. The upper-layer data packets are then provided to all protocol layers above Layer 2. Various control signals may also be provided to Layer 3 for Layer 3 processing.

[0284] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, at the first communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper-layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission functions at the second communication device 410 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on radio resource allocation, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the second communication device 410. Transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, while multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Subsequently, transmit processor 468 modulates the generated spatial stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream. After analog precoding / beamforming operations in multi-antenna transmit processor 457, the stream is provided to different antennas 452 via transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream before providing it to antenna 452.

[0285] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the function at the second communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the first communication device 450 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives radio frequency signals through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly implement the L1 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing between the transmission and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover upper-layer data packets from the UE 450. Upper-layer packets from the controller / processor 475 can be provided to the core network.

[0622] As a sub-example, the octet to which the time belongs follows the bitmap and precedes the first prediction cache information.

[0623] As a sub-example, the octet to which the time belongs is after the last prediction cache information.

[0624] As a sub-implementation, the time depends on the first time window.

[0625] As a sub-example, the prediction cache information #1 includes the predicted data amount #1; ...; the prediction cache information #M includes the predicted data amount #M.

[0626] As an example, each of the M prediction cache information includes a predicted amount of data and a time.

[0627] As a sub-implementation, the appendix Figure 13 Time #1; ...; Time #M exists.

[0628] As a sub-implementation, the appendix Figure 13 In the above, the prediction cache information #1 includes time #1 and the predicted data amount #1; ...; the prediction cache information #M includes time #M and the predicted data amount #M.

[0629] As an example, the M prediction cache information are sorted in chronological order.

[0630] The above method is beneficial for prioritizing the reporting of earlier data, thereby enabling earlier scheduling and reducing scheduling latency.

[0631] As an example, the M prediction cache information are sorted in ascending order according to the LCG index.

[0632] The above method is beneficial for prioritizing the reporting of higher-priority data, thereby improving service quality.

[0633] As an example, M is not greater than the number of bits in the bitmap.

[0634] As an example, the second candidate format includes a bitmap, where each bit in the bitmap corresponds to an object; a bit corresponding to an object is set to 1 to indicate that the prediction cache information corresponding to the object is reported; a bit corresponding to an object is set to 0 to indicate that the prediction cache information corresponding to the object is not reported.

[0635] As an example, the position of a bit in the bitmap is an index of an object.

[0636] As an example, the size of the bitmap is variable.

[0637] As an example, the size of the bitmap is fixed.

[0638] As an example, the size of the bitmap depends on the RRC configuration.

[0639] As an example, the bitmap belongs to an octet.

[0640] As an example, at least one bit in the octet to which the bitmap belongs is reserved.

[0641] As an example, any bit in the octet to which the bitmap belongs belongs to the bitmap.

[0642] As an example, the second candidate format does not include the aforementioned bitmap.

[0643] As an example, the MAC subheader in the MAC subPDU to which the first signaling belongs does not include the L field.

[0644] As an example, the size of the first signaling is indicated by the L field in the MAC subheader of the MAC subPDU to which the first signaling belongs.

[0645] As an example, the object is an LCG (Logical Channel Group).

[0646] As an example, the object is a logical channel.

[0647] As an example, the object is RB.

[0648] As one example, the object is a DRB.

[0649] As an example, the object is QoS (Quality of Service) flow.

[0650] As one example, the object is a time window.

[0651] As an example, the appendix Example 14 The size of each field in the second candidate format is not limited; specifically, the number of bits occupied by the time in each prediction cache information can be 8, or the number of bits occupied by the time in each prediction cache information can also be 6.

[0652] Figure 14

[0653] Example 14 illustrates a schematic diagram of an AI / ML model according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 14 As shown. (Attached) Figure 14 It includes Module 1, Module 2, Module 3, Module 4, and Module 5.

[0655] As an example, the first module, the second module, the third module, the fourth module, and the fifth module in an AI / ML model all belong to the first node.

[0656] The above method avoids air interface signaling interaction and shortens transmission latency.

[0657] As an example, any one of the first module, second module, third module, fourth module, and fifth module in an AI / ML model does not belong to the first node.

[0658] The above method reduces the hardware complexity of the first node.

[0737] Figure 15

[0738] Example 15 illustrates a schematic diagram of intelligent function deployment in a RAN (Radio Access Network) domain according to an embodiment of this application; as shown in the appendix. Figure 15 As shown. In Example 15, the gNB can be replaced with, for example, an eNB, or a network device such as a 6G base station.

[0739] Intelligent functions in the RAN domain include training (also known as ML training, AI training, or AI / ML training), testing (also known as ML testing, AI testing, or AI / ML testing), and inference (also known as ML inference, AI inference, or AI / ML inference), among others. Training, testing, and inference functions can be deployed independently or co-located. Deployment of intelligent functions can be achieved through software, such as downloading and / or running executable files; or through a combination of software and hardware, such as accelerating specific computing units through hardware to improve processing speed or save power.

[0740] Training functions can be deployed in a cross-domain management system or a domain-specific management system; the domain-specific management system is used to manage the RAN domain or the CN (Core Network) domain. For example, training functions for MDA (Management Data Analytics) can be deployed in MDAF (MDA Function); training functions for network data analytics can be deployed in NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function), meaning the training function is MTLF (Model Training Logical Function).

[0741] Similarly, inference functions can be deployed in cross-domain management systems or domain-specific management systems; for example, the inference function is an MDAF, or the inference function is an AnLF (Analytics logical function) located in an NWDAF.

[0742] Similarly, testing functionality can also be deployed in cross-domain management systems or domain-specific management systems.

[0743] In embodiment 15, the training function 1702 of the RAN domain is located in the management function 1703 of the RAN domain; while the inference function is located in the base station, that is, inference function 1704 is located in gNB 1705, and inference function 1706 is located in gNB 1707. Figure 15 The ellipsis in the text indicates other gNBs that include other reasoning functions and are not shown.

[0744] Appendix Figure 15 In this context, the management of inference functions for multiple base stations is handled by the RAN domain management function 1703, which interacts with the RAN domain MnS (Management Service) consumer / cross-domain management 1701 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 2 (As shown by the dashed arrow 1708 in the image).

[0745] Optionally, the management of inference functions can also be completed by the base station itself, that is, each base station can independently interact with the RAN domain MnS consumer / cross-domain management 1701.

[0746] It should be noted that Embodiment 15 is merely a non-limiting implementation; optionally, the RAN domain training function may also be deployed at the base station; or optionally, some base stations may deploy both inference function and RAN domain training function, while some base stations may only deploy inference function.

[0747] As an example, one of the gNBs (or base stations) in Example 15 is the second node of this application.

[0754] Example 16 illustrates a schematic diagram of UE smart function deployment according to an embodiment of this application; as shown in the appendix. Figure 16 As shown. (Attached) Figure 16 The training function 1805 for the RAN domain is optional.

[0755] The UE intelligent function 1804 is deployed in the first node of this application. The UE intelligent function 1804 includes an inference function 1806. The inference function 1806 uses an AI / ML model (also known as an AI model, or an ML model, or an AI / ML model) for inference. An AI / ML model is typically trained before being used for AI / ML inference.

[0756] As an example, the UE intelligent function 1804 includes a RAN domain training function 1805, which runs training data through an AI / ML model to obtain a relevant loss and adjusts the parameters of the AI / ML model based on the calculated loss; the training includes at least one of ML initial training, ML re-training, and reinforcement learning.

[0762] Optionally, the UE intelligent function 1804 is an MnS (Management Service) producer that provides data to the CN domain MnF (Management Function) 1801, and / or the RAN domain MnF 1802, and / or the cross-domain management system 1803 for management or analysis (as shown by double arrow 1807).

[0763] Optionally, the UE intelligent function 1804 is an MnS consumer that loads data from the CN domain MnF1801, and / or the RAN domain MnF1802, and / or the cross-domain management system 1803 for AI / ML-related management, such as managing data requests, AI / ML model activation, and / or AI / ML model training (as shown by double arrow 1807).

[0764] As an example, the AI / ML model is based on a neural network.

[0765] As an example, the AI / ML model is based on CNN (Conventional Neural Networks).
