[0162] In some embodiments, the first network element 1021 is mainly used to manage computing resources on the network side, such as allocating computing resources and orchestrating computing tasks.

[0163] In some embodiments, terms such as "first network element", "computing resource management device", "computing resource management node", "computing resource management network element", "computing resource control device", "computing resource control node", and "computing resource control network element" can be used interchangeably.

The main bodies shown in FIG1 are illustrative. The communication system may include all or some of the main bodies in FIG1, or may include other main bodies outside of FIG1. ​​The number and form of each main body are arbitrary.

[0168] The embodiments disclosed herein 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), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), and IEEE 802.20, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth (a 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, systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems built upon them, etc. Furthermore, multiple systems can be combined (e.g., a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0169] Current research in mobile communications suggests that communication systems can provide more multi-dimensional artificial intelligence (AI) services. For example:

[0170] AI-enabled connectivity refers to using AI methods to improve communication performance, such as using AI for beam management.

[0171] Computing power services refer to the network side providing computing power to the terminal side, such as helping the terminal with model training and model inference.

[0172] Ultimate AI service refers to enhancing the transmission channels of communication systems to improve the experience of AI application services.

[0173] In the future, communication networks will not only provide connectivity services to terminals, but also computing power services. That is, when a terminal needs to process a computing task, it can upload the computing task to the network for processing by network devices.

[0174] When a terminal requests computing power from the network, it often involves data exchange. This includes data input and output during model inference, and intermediate data exchanged between different training nodes during distributed model training. In general, AI computing tasks require both computational and communication resources. Therefore, the coordination of computing resource management and transmission resource management (i.e., communication connection management) must be considered when requesting, transmitting, and responding to computing tasks.

[0175] The information transmission method provided in this disclosure is used to realize the computing power resources and transmission resources required for coordinating computing tasks.

[0242] Step S2106: The second network element sends a third response result to the first network element.

[0243] In some embodiments, the first network element receives a second response result sent by the second network element.

[0244] In some embodiments, if the second network element receives the second response result first, and the third response result it determines is different from the second response result (e.g., the timing of responding to the first computing task is different), the second network element can send the third response result to the first network element.

[0263] In step S2109, both the first response result and the second response result are responses to the first computing task. The first network element executes the first computing task and uses the configured transmission resources to interact with the terminal.

[0264] In some embodiments, the first network element can determine the timing for executing the first computing task based on the timing of the response in the first response result and / or the second response result. For example, the later timing of the first response result and the second response result can be determined as the timing for executing the first computing task.

[0265] In some embodiments, if at least one of the first response result and the second response result is not responding to the first computing task, the first network element determines not to execute the first computing task. In this case, the first network element may send a result of rejecting the first computing task to the terminal, or not send any information to the terminal.

[0353] The information transmission method provided in this disclosure will be further described below with reference to the following embodiments.

[0354] The scenario addressed by this disclosure is as follows: In a communication network, there are two management and control units, one is a computing control unit (first network element), and the other is a communication resource management unit (second network element).

[0355] The computing control unit is mainly used to manage computing resources, such as allocating computing resources and orchestrating computing tasks. The communication resource management unit is mainly used to manage communication resources, such as allocating communication resources and scheduling users.

[0356] Optionally, the terminal sends corresponding computing requests and communication requests to the computing resource management node and the communication resource management node, respectively. The computing resource management node and the communication resource management node cooperate to determine whether to respond to the terminal's requests and the specific resource allocation.

[0357] Optionally, the terminal sends corresponding computing requests and communication requests to the computing resource management node and the communication resource management node, respectively.

[0358] Optionally, the computing power requirement information for the first computational task includes: the total computing power required to execute the task, and the type of computing power task to be executed, such as model training or model inference.

[0359] Optionally, the communication requirements associated with the first computation task may include at least one of the following:

[0360] The direction of data transmission: for example, whether it is sent from the terminal to the network or from the network to the terminal.

[0361] Data transmission type: The type includes whether it is generated dynamically, periodically, or in a one-shot format.

[0362] Description of the amount of interactive data.

[0363] The two requests are related, for example, they can be associated through the same task ID.

[0364] Optionally, the communication resource management node and the computing resource management node interact to determine whether they can satisfy the terminal's first computing task request. For example, the computing resource management node can query whether the resource management node can meet the needs of the first computing task by managing the task ID. When both can determine that the request for the first computing task can be satisfied, the computing resource management node and / or the communication resource management node respond to the request. When either cannot meet the requirement, it can choose not to respond or reject the request for the first computing task.

[0365] Optionally, the communication resource management node initiates a corresponding communication session procedure. The session procedure includes:

[0366] The first network node, such as a base station, will initiate the establishment and allocation of DRBs.

[0367] The second network node, such as SMF, will handle the PDU session establishment process.

[0368] Optionally, the computing resource management node and the communication resource management node each send response information to the terminal. The information sent by the communication management node to the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0369] Transmission type: such as dynamic scheduling, or SPS;

[0370] Transmission timing, including transmission cycle;

[0371] Frequency resources for transmission: such as allocated PRB resources, DM-RS, etc.;

[0372] MCS for transmission;

Alternatively, another apparatus is provided that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network functional node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

[0375] It should be understood that the division of units or modules in the above device is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into a single physical entity, or they can be physically separated. Furthermore, the units or modules in the device can be implemented by a processor calling software: for example, the device includes a processor connected to a memory containing instructions. The processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or to implement the functions of the units or modules in the above device. The processor can be, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory can be internal or external to the device. Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits. The functionality of some or all of the units or modules can be achieved through the design of these hardware circuits, which can be understood as one or more processors. For example, in one implementation, the hardware circuit is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The functionality of some or all of the units or modules is achieved through the design of the logical relationships between the components within the circuit. In another implementation, the hardware circuit can be implemented using a programmable logic device (PLD). Taking a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) as an example, it can include a large number of logic gates. The connection relationships between the logic gates are configured through configuration files, thereby achieving the functionality of some or all of the units or modules. All units or modules of the above device can be implemented entirely through processor-called software, entirely through hardware circuits, or partially through processor-called software with the remaining parts implemented through hardware circuits.

[0376] In this embodiment, the processor is a circuit with signal processing capabilities. In one implementation, the processor can be a circuit with instruction read and execute capabilities, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) (which can be understood as a microprocessor), or a digital signal processor (DSP). In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. The logical relationships of the aforementioned hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
