[0133] In a wireless mobile communication network, radio access control refers to a traffic congestion control mechanism that guarantees the success of critical communication calls such as emergency calls by limiting connection requests between terminals and network devices (such as base stations). In some embodiments, a terminal should evaluate broadcast information and identify an access category before sending any connection request to a base station to determine whether to prohibit the connection request of the access. In some embodiments, a terminal can perform unified access control (UAC) based on access identity and access category. Based on this, when a terminal needs to access the network, it can first perform access control checks to determine whether access is allowed. If access is allowed, the terminal continues to perform the access procedure to establish a connection with the network. Conversely, if access is not allowed, the terminal cancels the access procedure.

In the scenario where a terminal wants to use the computing power resources of the network, the resources required by the terminal are no longer only wireless resources, but also computing power resources. However, the current access control only considers the demand for wireless resources, and for the scenario where the terminal needs computing power resources, how to control the access of the terminal is a problem to be solved.

[0232] In the following, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure are exemplarily described through specific embodiments.

[0233] In some embodiments, the network notifies the terminal of feedback information (such as the configuration result of the first resource and / or the second resource) of the wireless resource application and / or the computing power resource application.

[0234] In some embodiments, the wireless resource includes: time / frequency / code, etc. resource. In some embodiments, the wireless resource application includes: requesting to establish SRB, DRB, etc. wireless bearer.

[0235] In some embodiments, the computing resource includes: resources for computing, reading and writing, storage, algorithm, AI model, AI inference, AI training, AI verification, data distribution, etc. capabilities, such as providing how many times of operation, and memory, power, etc., but not limited to. In some embodiments, the computing resource application further includes: requesting to establish a special wireless bearer, such as a wireless bearer (e.g. RAN only bearer) terminated between the terminal and the base station; for carrying computing-related information.

[0236] In some embodiments, the feedback of successful wireless resource establishment indicates that the terminal establishes the corresponding SRB, DRB, etc.

[0237] In some embodiments, the feedback of successful computing resource establishment indicates that the terminal establishes the corresponding SRB, RAN only bearer, etc.

[0238] In some embodiments, the network can inform the above feedback information through RRC connection establishment, RRC connection reconfiguration, RRC connection recovery, RRC connection rejection, etc. RRC message.

[0239] In some embodiments, the RRC connection establishment request message indicates that the terminal establishes SRB, i.e. the terminal enters RRC connected state, but the computing resource application fails. In other words, the wireless connection can be normally established, but the computing resource application fails.

[0240] In some embodiments, the RRC connection rejection message indicates that the terminal at least wireless resource application fails, but the computing application succeeds. In other words, the wireless connection cannot be normally established, but the computing resource application succeeds, and the network can provide computing resources that meet the terminal's demand.

[0241] In some embodiments, the RRC connection rejection message indicates that the terminal at least wireless resource application fails, or indicates that both wireless resource and computing resource applications fail.

[0242] In some embodiments, the RRC connection establishment completion message indicates that the terminal at least wireless resource application succeeds, or indicates that both wireless resource and computing resource applications succeed.

[0243] In some embodiments, the network can carry the time of re-initiating wireless resource application and / or computing resource application in the feedback message of wireless resource application and / or computing resource application to the terminal.

[0244] In some embodiments, the network can indicate a timer to inform the wireless resource application and / or the computing resource application of the time to initiate again.

[0245] In some embodiments, the network can carry T302' (e.g., timer 1, used to indicate computing resource congestion) in the RRC connection establishment message. After the terminal receives it, the AS layer will inform the upper layer (e.g., NAS) of network congestion, and the terminal needs to initiate the request for computing resource again after the T302' expires. At this time, the terminal can establish an RRC connection and then initiate the request for computing resource again.

[0246] In some embodiments, the network can carry T302 (e.g., timer 2, used to indicate wireless resource and computing resource congestion) in the RRC connection establishment message. After the terminal receives it, the AS layer will inform the upper layer (e.g., NAS) of network congestion, and the terminal needs to initiate the request for wireless resource and computing resource again after the T302 expires.

[0247] In some embodiments, the terminal can use different call establishment reasons to initiate the wireless resource application and / or the computing resource application between base stations, so as to facilitate the network to distinguish.

[0248] In some embodiments, the terminal initiates the wireless resource application and / or the computing resource application, and the new call establishment reason is "AI service related" (e.g., first reason information).
