Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to schemes and apparatus for channel information processing in wireless communication systems. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional wireless communication, the UE (User Equipment) calculates channel information by measuring downlink reference signals. This channel information includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: CRI (Channel State Information-Reference Signal Resource Indicator), RI (Rank Indicator), PMI (Precoding Matrix Indicator), or CQI (Channel Quality Indicator).

[0003] With the adoption of new technologies, the increase in the number of antennas, the diversification of application scenarios, and the increasing demands on system performance, traditional measurement and reporting methods incur significant redundancy overhead. Therefore, in NR R (release) 18, research on AI (Artificial Intelligence) / ML (Machine Learning) technologies was initiated to explore their impact on system performance and design. Compared to traditional processing methods, AI / ML offers advantages such as training-based and deployment-required features. Furthermore, AI / ML is a key candidate technology for future 6G communications. Once AI / ML functionality is introduced, existing channel information-related measurement, processing, and / or reporting mechanisms, as well as related configuration signaling, may become inadequate to meet the demands of AI / ML.

[0256] Example 3

[0257] Example 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture for the user plane and control plane according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown.

[0258] 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 3The radio protocol architecture for the control plane 300 between the first communication node device (UE, gNB, or RSU in V2X) and the second communication node device (gNB, UE, or RSU in V2X), or between two UEs, 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. Layer 1 will be referred to as PHY 301 in this document. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305, above PHY 301, is responsible for the link between the first and second communication node devices, or between two UEs. Layer 2 305 includes the MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, the RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and the PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which terminate at the second communication node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. PDCP sublayer 304 also provides security through encrypted data packets and supports cross-cell mobility between second communication node devices and the first communication node device. RLC sublayer 303 provides upper layer data packet segmentation and reassembly, retransmission of lost data packets, and data packet reordering to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ. MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical and transport channels. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell between the first communication node devices. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. 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 configuring the lower layer using RRC signaling between the second and first communication node devices. The radio protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes layer 1 (L1 layer) and layer 2 (L2 layer). The radio protocol architecture for the first and second communication node devices in user plane 350 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in control plane 300 for physical layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2 layer 355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2 layer 355 and MAC sublayer 352 in L2 layer 355. However, PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper layer data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead.The L2 layer 355 in the user plane 350 also includes an SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356, which is responsible for mapping between QoS streams and data radio bearers (DRBs) to support service diversity. Although not illustrated, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above the L2 layer 355, including a network layer (e.g., IP layer) terminating at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminating at the other end of the connection (e.g., a remote UE, server, etc.).

[0267] Example 4

[0268] Example 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4 As shown. (Attached) Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a first communication device 410 and a second communication device 450 communicating with each other in an access network.

[0269] The first 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.

[0270] The second 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.

[0271] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first 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 DL (Downlink), the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the second communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for L1 layer (i.e., physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, and constellation mapping based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-phase shift keying (M-PSK), and M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more parallel... The transmit processor 416 then maps each parallel stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes the modulated symbols with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and then uses an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. The 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 transmit processor 471 into an RF stream, which is then provided to a different antenna 420.

[0272] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second 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 parallel stream destined for the second communication device 450. Symbols on each parallel 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 over the physical channel by the first communication device 410. 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 (L2). 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 DL (Layered Logic), the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer packets from the core network. The upper-layer packets are then provided to all protocol layers above Layer 2. Various control signals may also be provided to Layer 3 (L3) for L3 processing. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0273] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second 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 first communication device 410 described in the DL, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on the radio resource allocation of the first communication device 410, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first 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 parallel 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.

[0274] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second 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. The controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the second communication device 450. The upper-layer data packets from the controller / processor 475 may be provided to the core network. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[1125] Example 14

[1126] Example 14 illustrates a schematic diagram of the deployment of AI / ML functionality in a RAN (Radio Access Network) domain according to an embodiment of this application; as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 14 As shown. In Example 14, the gNB can be replaced with, for example, an eNB, or a network device such as a 6G base station.

[1127] AI / ML related functionalities include ML training (also known as AI training, or AI / ML training), ML testing, and ML inference (also known as AI inference, or AI / ML inference), among others. These functionalities can be deployed independently or co-located. Deployment of AI / ML related functionalities can be implemented 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.

[1128] ML 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, ML training functions for MDA (Management Data Analytics) can be deployed in MDAF (MDA Function); ML training for network data analytics can be deployed in NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function), meaning the ML training function is an MTLF (Model Training Logical Function).

[1129] The ML inference function can also be deployed in cross-domain management systems or domain-specific management systems; for example, the ML inference function is MDAF, or the ML inference function is AnLF (Analytics logical function) located in NWDAF.

[1130] Similarly, ML testing functionality can also be deployed in cross-domain management systems or domain-specific management systems.

[1131] In Example 14, the RAN domain ML training function 1402 is located in the RAN domain management function 1403; while the ML inference function is located in the base station, that is, the AI / ML inference function 1404 is located in gNB 1405, the AI / ML inference function 1406 is located in gNB 1407, and so on.

[1132] Appendix Figure 14In this context, the management of ML inference functions across multiple base stations is handled by the RAN domain management function 1403, which interacts with the RAN domain MnS (Management Service) consumer / cross-domain management 1401 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 14 (As shown by the dashed arrow in the image).

[1133] Optionally, the management of the ML inference function 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 1401.

[1134] It should be noted that Example 14 is merely a non-limiting implementation; optionally, the ML training function of the RAN domain may also be deployed at the base station; or optionally, some base stations may deploy both the ML inference function and the ML training function of the RAN domain, while some base stations may only deploy the ML inference function.

[1140] As an example, the first channel information in this application is obtained through inference by the AI / ML inference function 1506.

[1143] The above embodiments can reduce the complexity of the base station, or save air interface resources caused by reporting training data; however, the above embodiments place higher demands on the processing capabilities of the UE side.

[1144] Optionally, the UE function 1504 also includes a CN domain ML training function ( Figure 15 (Not included in the text).

[1145] Optionally, the UE function 1504 also includes an AI / ML deployment function. Figure 15 It is not included in the list, which is used to load ML models and data.

[1146] As an example, the first node indicates whether it supports ML training function (RAN domain or CN domain) through capability reporting. The capability reporting is RRC signaling or NAS (Non-Access Stratum) signaling.

[1147] As an example, the ML model and the associated metadata are loaded by the first node from a network device or a remote server.

[1148] Optionally, the UE function 1504 is an MnS (Management Service) producer that provides data to the CN domain MnF (Management Function) 1501, and / or the RAN domain MnF 1502, and / or the cross-domain management system 1503 for management or analysis (as shown by double arrow 1507).

[1150] As an example, the ML model is based on a neural network.

[1151] As an example, the ML model is based on CNN (Conventional Neural Networks).

[1152] As an example, the ML model is based on the Transformer architecture.
