Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for indicating data volume. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the BSR (Buffer Status Report) process is used to provide the serving base station with information on the uplink (UL) data volume in the MAC (Medium Access Control) entity. Specifically, each logical channel is assigned to a logical channel group (LCG). When the BSR is triggered, the user equipment (UE) sends a BSR MAC CE (Control Element) to the base station, indicating the total amount of data in all logical channels of the corresponding LCG. The auxiliary serving base station schedules uplink resources for the UE based on the BSR MAC CE.

[0003] In NR (New Radio) Release 18, research on AI (Artificial Intelligence) / ML (Machine Learning) technologies was initiated to explore their impact on system performance and design. AI / ML technologies may also play a crucial role in future 6G communications. Compared to traditional processing methods, AI / ML features training and / or inference and / or deployment requirements. According to the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standard TS38.300, AI / ML models and algorithms extend beyond the scope of 3GPP. Summary of the Invention

[0004] When using AI / ML coding, the existing BSR process can lead to an inappropriate amount of data provided to the serving base station, which is not conducive to the serving base station's scheduling of uplink resources. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the data reporting mechanism.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a solution. It should be noted that while the uplink is used as an example in the problem description above, this application is also applicable to scenarios such as physical layer information of sidelinks (SL) or IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul) to achieve similar technical effects as the uplink. Although the initial intention of this application is to use AI / ML encoding, it is also applicable to traditional encoding methods other than AI / ML, achieving similar technical effects. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the first node of this application can be applied to the second node, and vice versa. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0006] As an example, the interpretation of terms in this application is based on the definitions in the 3GPP specification protocol TS38 series.

[0007] As an example, the interpretation of terms in this application is based on the definitions in the 3GPP specification protocol TS37 series.

[0008] This application discloses a method used in a first node for wireless communication, characterized by comprising:

[0009] Receive the first signaling;

[0010] Send a second signaling instruction; wherein the second signaling instruction indicates the amount of data on the first channel;

[0011] The second signaling indicates that the amount of data on the first channel depends on at least the first encoder; the first signaling indicates that the first encoder is applied to the encoding of the data on the first channel.

[0012] In existing technologies, the amount of data reported by the UE is independent of the encoder. Considering that changes in the information source or channel can affect the bit rate of the AI / ML encoder, when the bit rate of the AI / ML encoder is relatively dynamic, it further affects the size of the resources occupied by the data on the channel using the AI / ML encoder. If the amount of data reported by the UE is inappropriate, it will lead to too much or too little network scheduling resources, resulting in resource waste or scheduling delay. The above method solves the above problems by indicating through the second signaling that the amount of data on the first channel depends on at least the first encoder. The above method considers the impact of the encoder on the amount of data reported, which is conducive to reporting an appropriate amount of data to the network, further improving resource scheduling performance and transmission performance.

[0013] According to one aspect of this application, it includes:

[0014] Trigger a status report;

[0015] The sending of the second signaling depends on at least one pending status report; the second signaling is a MAC CE.

[0016] Determining how to send the second signaling is a technical problem that needs to be solved. The above method solves this problem by relying on at least one pending status report to send the second signaling, which is beneficial to the transmission of the second signaling. Furthermore, implementing the second signaling through MACCE is beneficial to dynamically reporting the amount of data and improving the efficiency of data reporting.

[0017] According to one aspect of this application, it includes:

[0018] As a response to the first encoder being unavailable, cancel a pending status report;

[0019] The sending of the second signaling depends on at least one pending status report.

[0020] Based on the fact that there is at least one pending status report depending on the sending of a second signaling, how to cancel the pending status report is a technical problem that needs to be solved. The above method takes into account that the encoder is based on training and may become unavailable. In the case that the first encoder is unavailable, the first encoder cannot be applied to perform encoding. By canceling a pending status report as a response to the unavailability of the first encoder, the above problem is solved and unnecessary data reporting is avoided.

[0021] According to one aspect of this application, it includes:

[0022] In response to the first encoder being unavailable and having a pending status report, a BSR is triggered;

[0023] The sending of the second signaling depends on at least one pending status report.

[0024] The above method takes into account that the encoder is based on training and may become unavailable. How to handle the situation when the first encoder is unavailable is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Considering that if the UE still reports a status report even when the first encoder is unavailable, the network will schedule based on the first encoder. Inconsistencies in understanding between the UE and the network can lead to reduced encoding efficiency or decoding errors. The above method solves this problem by triggering a BSR (Browser Response Scheduler) as a response to the first encoder being unavailable and having an unresolved status report. Furthermore, the above method implicitly indicates the unavailability of the first encoder through the BSR, which is beneficial for assisting subsequent network scheduling.

[0025] According to one aspect of this application, it includes:

[0026] In response to the first encoder being unavailable and having a pending status report, cancel the pending status report and trigger a BSR;

[0027] The sending of the second signaling depends on at least one pending status report.

[0028] According to one aspect of this application, it is characterized by comprising:

[0029] Receive a third signaling message, the third signaling message indicating the scheduling information of the first wireless channel;

[0030] Transmit the first wireless channel;

[0031] Wherein, the bits transmitted on the first wireless channel include the output of the data on the first channel encoded by the first encoder; the scheduling information of the first wireless channel indicates at least one of the first channel or the first encoder.

[0032] Determining how to send data on the first channel of the first encoder using a network-scheduled wireless channel is a technical problem that needs to be solved. The above method solves the above problem by instructing at least one of the first channel or the first encoder through the scheduling information of the first wireless channel, which helps to ensure the transmission of data on the first channel.

[0033] According to one aspect of this application, it is characterized by comprising:

[0034] Perform resource allocation, wherein performing resource allocation includes prioritizing the allocation of resources to the first channel;

[0035] The priority allocation of resources to the first channel depends on the encoding of the data applied to the first channel by the first encoder.

[0036] When the first encoder is applied to the encoding of data on the first channel, how to perform resource allocation is a technical problem that needs to be solved; the above method solves the above problem by prioritizing the allocation of resources to the first channel where the first encoder is applied; the above method also helps to improve transmission efficiency.

[0037] According to one aspect of this application, the second signaling indicates the characteristics of the data on the first channel.

[0038] The above method takes into account the influence of the characteristics of the data on the first channel on the encoding of the first encoder. By indicating the characteristics of the data on the first channel through the second signaling, it is helpful for the auxiliary network to determine the parameters of the first encoder.

[0039] According to one aspect of this application, the second signaling includes a first field indicating the amount of data on the first channel; wherein the value of the first field depends on the amount of data on the first channel and a first adjustment factor; the first adjustment factor is used by the first encoder for encoding.

[0040] How to indicate the amount of data on the first channel in the second signaling is a technical problem that needs to be solved; in the above method, the value of the first field indicating the amount of data on the first channel takes into account the influence of the first adjustment factor, which is beneficial for reporting an appropriate amount of data on the network.

[0386] 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.

[0387] 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.

[0388] 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.

[0389] 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.

[0390] 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.

[0391] 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.
