[0080] Wireless communication networks can use AI for prediction and inference to improve system performance. Training of AI models requires the collection of large amounts of data, and different application scenarios require different data, including beam management, CSI reporting, CSI compression, positioning, handover, mobility management, wireless resource management, and other mobile communication system processes. Future services have more urgent demands for network and computing power, and immersive service communication demands will reach 4Tbps transmission rate and millisecond-level latency. The computing power of autonomous driving and smart factories will increase by more than a hundred times. Sinking services to edge-side computing platforms can provide faster network service responses and reduce data backhaul costs. Limiting computing power at the edge can help meet real-time service, application intelligence, security and privacy protection, and other aspects.

[0081] Computing power is the ability of a node with computing power in the network to achieve a specific result output through data processing. Computing power resources specifically include, but are not limited to, computing, reading and writing, storage, algorithms, AI models, AI inference, AI training, AI verification, and data distribution. The computing power of terminals is limited and cannot support services that require high computing power. Network nodes can share computing power with terminals to help terminals perform calculations. At the network side, computing power is managed by computing power nodes, which are responsible for the allocation, scheduling, activation, control, and distribution of computing power.

[0082] Each computing power node can be connected with one or more base stations, and a UE connects with a computing power node through a base station. The UE can request computing power resources from the computing power node. When the resources of the serving computing power node are insufficient, the connected UE needs to be transferred to other computing power nodes, but the serving computing power node cannot determine whether the UE can connect to other computing power nodes. The terminal will perform measurement according to the configuration of the base station. The measurement configuration includes a measurement object, a reporting configuration, and a quantity configuration. The measurement object indicates the frequency to be measured, and can include multiple access technologies, including NR and LTE. Each measurement object is bound to a measurement object index identifier. The base station can also indicate a list of allowed measurement cells, and the terminal only measures the cells in the list. The base station can also indicate a list of forbidden cells, and the terminal does not measure the cells in the list. The reporting configuration indicates the type of reporting by the terminal, including periodic reporting and event-based reporting. The reporting configuration carries a reporting timer configuration for triggering measurement reporting. The reporting timer includes T321, T322, and TimerToTrigger (TTT). Different reporting configurations can be used for measurement objects of different access technologies. Each reporting configuration is bound to a reporting configuration index identifier. When the resources of the computing power node are insufficient, the connected terminal needs to be transferred to other computing power nodes, but the computing power node cannot determine whether the terminal can connect to other computing power nodes.

[0083] Therefore, the present disclosure proposes a communication method, device, system, equipment, and storage medium. The serving computing power node instructs the base station to configure the measurement reporting for a specific terminal, so that the terminal reports the measurement result to the serving computing power node. The serving computing power node can determine other computing power nodes to which the terminal can connect through the reported measurement result, and implement the transfer of the computing power task.

[0084] The method proposed in the present disclosure is applicable to various communication systems, including but not limited to 4G, 5G, 5G-advance, and subsequent communication technologies (such as 6G, etc.).

[0107] FIG. 2 is an interaction diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, which can be performed by a communication system, for example, the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1. The communication system includes a first computing power node, a first access network device, and further includes a terminal. The interaction method can include the following steps:

[0108] At step 2101, the first computing power node broadcasts second information.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second information is used to determine whether a third computing power node other than the first computing power node is connected to the first computing power node.

[0110] For example, the service computing power node inquires whether other computing power nodes can be connected to the service computing power node through a broadcast message to determine candidate computing power nodes.

[0111] At step 2102, the third computing power node sends deployment information to the first computing power node.

[0112] In some embodiments, the deployment information includes an identity of a cell connected by the third computing power node and / or a frequency deployed by the cell, and the deployment information is used to determine at least one second computing power node.

[0113] In some embodiments, the third computing power node capable of being connected to the first computing power node sends the deployment information to the first computing power node to inform the first computing power node that it can be connected to the first computing power node, and informs the first computing power node of the cell connected by it and / or the frequency deployed by the cell, so as to be used by the first computing power node to determine a measurement object in measurement reporting configuration information, the measurement object including a measurement cell and / or a measurement frequency.

[0114] At step 2103, the first computing power node determines at least one second computing power node.

[0115] In some embodiments, the at least one second computing power node is connected to at least one measurement cell.

[0116] In some embodiments, the at least one second computing power node is connected to the first computing power node.

[0117] In some embodiments, the at least one second computing power node is a computing power node capable of being switched by a terminal, the computing power capability of the at least one second computing power node is greater than or equal to the computing power requirement of the first computing power task, and the at least one second computing power node includes a target computing power node, the target computing power node being used to execute the first computing power task in the case where the terminal switches from the first computing power node to the target computing power node.

[0118] The first computing power node can determine the at least one second computing power node in the following two ways:

[0119] Scheme I:

[0120] In some embodiments, the first computing power node determines the at least one second computing power node based on the deployment information sent by the third computing power node. In other words, the first computing power node determines the computing power nodes capable of being connected thereto as the second computing power nodes.

[0121] For example, the serving computing power node receives deployment information from other computing power nodes, the deployment information including the identity of the cell to which the computing power node is connected and / or the frequency on which the cell is deployed, and determines the computing power nodes as candidate computing power nodes.

[0122] Option two:

[0123] In some embodiments, the first computing power node can determine, from among the computing power nodes connectable by the first computing power node, a computing power node whose computing power satisfies a first condition as the at least one second computing power node.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first computing power node can determine, from among the third computing power nodes, a computing power node whose computing power satisfies a first condition as the at least one second computing power node.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first condition can be that the computing power of the computing power node can satisfy the quality of service requirement of the terminal.

[0126] In some embodiments, the first condition can be that the performance indicator of the computing power node satisfies the computing power requirement of the first computing power task, such as CPU utilization, memory utilization, disk utilization, and connection number, etc. satisfying the requirement of the current first computing power task of the terminal.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first condition can be that the data transmission delay of the computing power node satisfies the requirement of the transmission delay of the first computing power node, such as the transmission delay between the computing power node and the first computing power node satisfying the maximum threshold of the transmission delay required by the first computing power node.

[0128] For example, the serving computing power node determines the candidate computing power node according to the capability of the computing power node connectable by the serving computing power node, specifically, determines, from among the computing power nodes connectable by the serving computing power node, a computing power node that can satisfy the quality of service requirement of the terminal as the candidate computing power node.

[0129] In some embodiments, the option two in step 2103 can be after step 2105 or before step 2104.

[0130] In step 2104, the terminal sends the identity of the terminal to the first computing power node.

[0131] In some embodiments, the identity of the terminal is an identity identifiable by the first access network device.

[0132] For example, the terminal sends the identity allocated by the base station to the serving computing power node, so that the serving computing power node informs the base station of the terminal that needs to perform measurement reporting configuration.

[0133] For example, the identity of the terminal can be a C-RNTI.

[0134] In step 2105, the first computing power node sends first information to the first access network device.

[0135] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the first access network device configures the terminal to perform measurement reporting.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the terminal; an identifier of a measurement object; a priority of the measurement object; measurement reporting configuration information; and parameter configuration including parameter values for measurement.

[0137] In some embodiments, the measurement object is an object for which the terminal performs measurement, and the measurement object includes a measurement frequency and / or a measurement cell. The measurement cell and the measurement frequency can be a cell and a frequency indicated in the deployment information sent by the third computing power node in step 2102.

[0138] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting configuration information includes configuration information based on periodic reporting or configuration information based on event reporting.

[0139] For example, the service computing power node sends measurement information to the base station, and the measurement information indicates that the base station configures the terminal to perform measurement reporting. The measurement information indicates any of the following information: an identifier of the terminal; a measurement object, which can be a measurement frequency or a measurement cell, the measurement frequency can be a frequency deployed by a cell connected by the candidate computing power node, and the measurement cell identifier can be an identifier of a cell connected by the candidate computing power node, the measurement object can indicate multiple measurement frequencies or measurement cells; and measurement reporting configuration, which can be event-based measurement reporting configuration or periodic measurement reporting configuration.

[0140] In some embodiments, the identifier of the terminal in the first information is provided by the terminal to the first computing power node. Specifically, it is the identifier sent by the terminal in step 2104.

[0141] In some embodiments, the measurement frequency and / or the measurement cell in the measurement object are identifiers of cells connected by the third computing power node and / or frequencies deployed by the cells, or identifiers of cells connected by the second computing power node and / or frequencies deployed by the cells.

[0142] In some embodiments, the priority of the measurement object can be the priority of the measurement cell or the priority of the measurement frequency, for example, indicating five measurement frequencies, and due to limited terminal capability, only three can be measured simultaneously, so the first computing power node can indicate the priority of the measurement frequency to enable the terminal to measure the frequency with high priority within the capability range.

[0143] In some embodiments, the parameter configuration can be a configuration of a parameter for obtaining a value of the RSRP, such as a parameter value of layer 3 filtering, or a filtering factor, and the like, and the present disclosure does not limit the same. The parameter configuration can also be a parameter value for obtaining other measurement results.

[0144] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting configuration information includes at least one of the following: a timer; a threshold value; a bias value; a signal type triggering reporting; a measurement result type reported; a triggering reporting event; an entry condition of the triggering reporting event; and an exit condition of the triggering reporting event.

[0145] In some embodiments, the timer is a timer associated with the measurement reporting configuration, used for triggering measurement reporting, or for controlling a measurement process, waiting for a measurement result. The timer can be a reporting timer, specifically, T321, T322, TimerToTrigger (TTT) timer.

[0146] In some embodiments, the threshold value can be a limit or threshold value used in different triggering reporting events to determine whether the triggering reporting condition is met. For example, in an A2 event, when the measurement value of the serving cell is less than the threshold value, the reporting is triggered.

[0147] In some embodiments, the bias value can be a parameter value used in different triggering reporting events to determine whether the triggering reporting condition is met. For example, in an A3 event, when the difference between the measurement value of the neighbor cell and the measurement value of the current primary cell or primary secondary cell is greater than or equal to the bias value, the reporting is triggered.

[0148] In some embodiments, the signal type triggering reporting includes at least one of the following: reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal to noise ratio (SINR).

[0149] In some embodiments, the measurement result type reported includes at least one of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR.

[0150] In some embodiments, the triggering reporting event includes a condition triggering reporting.

[0151] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting configuration information is bound to a measurement reporting configuration index, and the measurement object is bound to a measurement object index.

[0152] In some embodiments, the identifier of the terminal sent by the first computing power node to the first access network device is an identifier provided by the terminal to the first computing power node through the third information.

[0153] In some embodiments, the configuration information based on periodic reporting includes a timer; a signal type triggering reporting; and a measurement result type reported.

[0154] In some embodiments, the configuration information based on event reporting includes a threshold value; a bias value; a signal type triggering reporting; a measurement result type reported; a triggering reporting event; an entering condition of the triggering reporting event; and a leaving condition of the triggering reporting event.

[0155] In some embodiments, the triggering reporting event can be a relationship between the signal measurement results of the serving cell or the neighbor cell of the terminal or a relationship with the threshold value and / or the bias value, and if the threshold value and / or the bias value requirement is met, the measurement result reporting is triggered.

[0156] In some embodiments, the triggering reporting event can be at least one of A1-A6, B1-B2, D1, T1, etc. events. Among them, the A series events are used for intra-system mobility management, or the B series events are used for inter-system mobility management, and the D1 and T1 series events are used for satellite system mobility management, and each event includes specific triggering reporting conditions.

[0157] For example, the triggering reporting event includes the triggering reporting condition corresponding to each event, which can be, for example, A1 event, i.e. the measurement value of the serving cell is greater than the threshold value, triggering reporting; A2 event, i.e. the measurement value of the serving cell is less than the threshold value, triggering reporting; A3 event, i.e. the difference between the measurement value of the neighbor cell and the measurement value of the current primary cell or primary secondary cell is greater than or equal to the bias value, triggering reporting; A4 event, i.e. the measurement value of the neighbor cell is greater than the threshold value, triggering reporting; A5 event, i.e. the measurement value of the primary cell or the primary secondary cell currently served by the terminal is less than the threshold value, and the measurement value of the neighbor cell or the secondary cell is higher than the threshold value; A6 event, i.e. the difference between the measurement value of the neighbor cell and the measurement value of the secondary cell is greater than the bias value.

[0158] In some embodiments, the configuration information based on event reporting can also include the triggering reporting event and the entering condition and / or the leaving condition of the triggering reporting event. Among them, the entering condition can be triggering reporting when the condition is met, and the leaving condition can be exiting triggering reporting when the condition is continuously met within the TTT time.

[0159] For example, for each event, the entering condition and the leaving condition can also be configured to trigger reporting in combination with the measurement reporting condition, for example, when the event-based triggering reporting condition is met, the leaving condition is judged, and when the leaving condition is met, the triggering reporting is exited; or when the event-based triggering reporting condition is not met, the entering condition is judged, and when the entering condition is met, the triggering reporting is triggered.

[0160] For example, for the A3 event, the entering condition can be Mn+Ofn+Ocn-Hys>Mp+Ofp+Ocp+Off, and the leaving condition can be Mn+Ofn+Ocn+Hys<Mp+Ofp+Ocp+Off. Wherein, Mn is the measurement value of the neighbor cell without considering any offset; Ofn is the specific offset of the reference signal measurement value of the neighbor cell (i.e., offsetMO defined in the measurement object NR corresponding to the adjacent cell); Ocn is the specific offset of the neighbor cell, and is set to zero if not configured for the neighbor cell; Mp is the measurement result of the primary secondary cell without considering any offset; Ofp is the specific offset of the measurement value of the primary secondary cell; Ocp is the specific offset of the primary secondary cell, and is zero if not configured; Hys is the hysteresis parameter of the event; Off is the offset parameter of the event; Mn and Mp are denoted in dBm in the case of RSRP, and are denoted in dB in the case of RSRQ and RS-SINR, and Ofn, Ocn, Ofp, Ocp, Hys, and Off are denoted in dB.

[0161] For example, the triggered reporting event is A3, the triggered reporting condition is that the difference between the measurement value of the neighbor cell and the measurement value of the current primary cell or primary secondary cell is greater than or equal to the bias value, and the triggered reporting is triggered; the entering condition and the leaving condition of the triggered reporting event are configured at the same time. That is, the terminal can report when the triggered reporting condition is met, or report when the triggered reporting condition is not met but the entering condition is met, and after the triggered reporting condition or the entering condition is met, the triggered reporting is exited when the leaving condition is met.

[0162] In step 2106, the first access network device configures the measurement reporting for the terminal.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first access network device configures the measurement reporting for the terminal based on the first information.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first access network device sends the terminal related information of the measurement reporting configuration to the terminal indicated by the identifier of the terminal in the first information.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first access network device sends at least one of the measurement object, the priority of the measurement object, the measurement reporting configuration information, and the parameter configuration to the terminal, wherein the identifier of the measurement object and the identifier of the measurement reporting configuration information are bound by the measurement index identifier.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first access network device sends the measurement reporting configuration information to the terminal, so that the terminal measures the measurement cell and reports the measurement result according to the type of triggered reporting.

[0167] In some embodiments, when multiple measurement objects are indicated in the first information and priorities of the measurement objects are indicated, the first access network device can prioritize sending measurement reporting configuration information for the measurement objects with high priorities based on the first information.

[0168] For example, the base station sends a measurement index identifier to the terminal, the identifier of the measurement object is bound to the measurement reporting configuration index identifier at the same time as the measurement index identifier, in other words, the measurement index identifier combines the identifier of the measurement object and the reporting configuration index identifier, so that the terminal can determine the reporting mode of the measurement object, and use the measurement result of the measurement object to perform event evaluation and reporting of the measurement result.

[0169] In step 2107, the terminal sends a measurement result to the first access network device.

[0170] In some embodiments, the terminal sends a measurement result of at least one first cell to the first access network device.

[0171] In some embodiments, the measurement result is used by the first computing power node to determine a target computing power node from at least one second computing power node, and the target computing power node is used to provide computing power resources for the first computing power task of the terminal.

[0172] In some embodiments, the terminal periodically sends a measurement result of at least one first cell to the first access network device based on the measurement reporting configuration information.

[0173] In some embodiments, the terminal sends a measurement result to the first access network device based on the measurement reporting configuration information when a trigger reporting condition of a trigger reporting event is met. The trigger reporting event can be any one of A1-A6, B1-B2, D1, T1 events.

[0174] In some embodiments, the terminal sends a measurement result to the first access network device based on the measurement reporting configuration information when a trigger reporting condition of a trigger reporting event is not met and an entry condition of the trigger reporting event is met. The trigger reporting event can be any one of A1-A6, B1-B2, D1, T1 events.

[0175] In some embodiments, the measurement result includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the terminal; measurement object information satisfying a measurement reporting condition, the measurement object information including an identifier of a cell and / or a frequency of the cell; a measurement value; a type of measurement reporting trigger.

[0176] In some embodiments, the identifier of the terminal is an identifier of the terminal for which the first access network device performs measurement reporting configuration.

[0177] In some embodiments, the measurement object information satisfying the measurement reporting condition is an identifier of a cell and / or a frequency of the cell satisfying the trigger reporting condition, wherein the cell is a cell connected by the second computing power node. The measurement reporting condition can be a timer length in the configuration information based on periodic reporting, or a trigger reporting condition in the configuration information based on event reporting.

[0178] In some embodiments, when the measurement result type reported based on periodic reporting is at least one of RSRP, RSRQ and SINR, the RSRP value, the RSRQ value and / or the SINR value are reported periodically.

[0179] In some embodiments, when the signal type triggering the reporting is RSRP, and the measurement result type reported is RSRP and RSRQ, the terminal sends the measurement result to the first access network device when the corresponding RSRP value satisfies the trigger reporting condition, wherein the measurement result reported includes at least one of an identifier of the terminal, an identifier of the cell and / or a frequency of the cell, the corresponding RSRP value and RSRQ value, and a type of measurement reporting trigger.

[0180] In some embodiments, when the signal type triggering the reporting is RSRP and SINR, and the measurement result type reported is RSRP, the terminal sends the measurement result to the first access network device when the corresponding RSRP value and SINR value both satisfy the trigger reporting condition, wherein the measurement result reported includes at least one of an identifier of the terminal, an identifier of the cell and / or a frequency of the cell, the corresponding RSRP value, and a type of measurement reporting trigger.

[0181] For example, the measurement index identifies that the corresponding reporting configuration is triggered, and the terminal stores the measurement index triggering the reporting and the reporting information in a local variable, wherein the reporting information includes the reporting times, the cell identifier triggering the measurement reporting, the measurement index triggering the reporting, and the like.

[0182] In step 2108, the first access network device sends the measurement result to the first computing power node.

[0183] In some embodiments, when the measurement index in the measurement result is associated with the measurement object or the measurement reporting configuration information consistent with the measurement object or the measurement reporting configuration information in the first information, the measurement result is sent to the first computing power node.

[0184] In some embodiments, the measurement result includes at least one of an identifier of the terminal, measurement object information satisfying the measurement reporting condition, a measurement value, and a type of measurement reporting trigger.

[0185] In some embodiments, the first access network device sends the measurement result of the at least one first cell to the first computing power node, the first cell being a cell connected by the second computing power node.

[0186] For example, when the measurement index reported by the terminal to the base station identifies the associated measurement object or the reported configuration is consistent with the measurement information sent by the serving computing power node, the base station sends the measurement result to the serving computing power node.

[0187] Step 2109, the first computing power node determines the target computing power node.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first computing power node determines the target computing power node from the second computing power node corresponding to the at least one first cell based on the measurement result of the at least one first cell, and the target computing power node is used to execute the first computing power task.

[0189] In some embodiments, the first computing power node determines the target cell based on the first cell whose measurement result satisfies the second condition, and determines the target computing power node connected by the target cell as the target computing power node used to execute the first computing power task.

[0190] In some embodiments, the second condition can be that the measurement value satisfies the computing power requirement of the first computing power task.

[0191] In some embodiments, the second condition can be that the measurement value and the frequency of the corresponding cell satisfy the computing power requirement of the first computing power task.

[0192] In some embodiments, when the measurement result includes multiple measurement values, such as at least two of RSRP, RSRQ and SINR, the second condition can be that the multiple measurement values all satisfy the computing power requirement of the first computing power task, or on this basis, the frequency of the cell also satisfies the computing power requirement of the first computing power task.

[0193] Step 2110, the first computing power node sends a handover request to the target computing power node.

[0194] In some embodiments, the handover request is used to request the target computing power node to execute the first computing power task.

[0195] In some embodiments, the first computing power node can send a handover request to multiple determined target computing power nodes to request the target computing power node to execute the first computing power task, and the target computing power node can determine whether to accept the handover request of the first computing power node based on the received handover request to feed back to the first computing power node.

[0196] For example, the serving computing power node sends a handover request to the target computing power node to request the target computing power node to execute the current first computing power task of the terminal.

[0197] Step 2111, the target computing power node sends feedback information to the first computing power node.

[0198] In some embodiments, the feedback information is used to indicate whether the target computing power node accepts the switching request.

[0199] In some embodiments, the target computing power node receives the switching request sent by the first computing power node, and sends feedback to the first computing power node about whether to accept the switching request.

[0200] For example, the target computing power node determines to accept the execution of the first computing power task, and sends a response to the service computing power node to inform the service computing power node that the first computing power task can be switched to the target computing power node for execution.

[0201] In the above embodiments, the first computing power node determines that the first computing power task can be switched to the target computing power node based on the feedback information of the target computing power node that accepts the switching request.

[0202] Step 2112, the first computing power node switches the first computing power task to the target computing power node.

[0203] In some embodiments, the first computing power node determines the target computing power node that accepts the switching request based on the feedback information of the target computing power node, and sends the first computing power task to the target computing power node.

[0204] In some embodiments, the first computing power node sends the first computing power task to the target computing power node to realize the switching of the computing power task of the terminal.

[0205] In some embodiments, after receiving the feedback information of the target computing power node, the first computing power node sends indication information to the terminal to instruct the terminal to upload the first computing power task to the target computing power node.

[0206] Step 2113, the first computing power node sends switching notification to the terminal.

[0207] In some embodiments, the switching notification is used to inform the terminal to establish a connection with the target computing power node and disconnect the connection with the first computing power node.

[0208] In some embodiments, the terminal establishes a connection with the target computing power node and disconnects the connection with the first computing power node based on the switching notification.

[0209] In the above embodiments, the first computing power node sends indication information to the first access network device to instruct it to configure the terminal to perform measurement reporting, so as to realize the measurement and reporting of the terminal on the neighboring area, and enable the first computing power node to determine the computing power node that can be connected with the terminal.
