However, it should be noted that the present disclosure may be embodied in various different forms, and thus, it is intended that the subject matter being targeted or claimed is not limited to any of the embodiments described below.

[0018] Throughout this specification and the claims, terms may have subtly different meanings presented or suggested in context beyond their explicitly stated meanings. Similarly, the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in some embodiments" as used herein do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, and the expressions "in another embodiment" or "in other embodiments" as used herein do not necessarily refer to different embodiments. The phrases "in one implementation" or "in some implementations" as used herein do not necessarily refer to the same implementation, and the expressions "in another implementation" or "in other implementations" as used herein do not necessarily refer to different implementations. For example, the claimed subject matter is intended to include exemplary embodiments or combinations of implementations, in whole or in part.

[0019] Generally, terms can be understood at least in part from their use in context. For example, terms such as "and", "or", "and / or" may, when used herein, have various meanings that may depend at least in part on the context in which such terms are used. Typically, "or" when used to associate a list such as A, B, or C is intended to mean A, B, and C in an inclusive sense in this case, as well as A, B, or C in an exclusive sense in this case. Further, the terms "one or more" or "at least one" as used herein may, depending at least in part on the context, be used to describe any feature, structure, or property in a singular sense or may also be used to describe a combination of features, structures, or properties in a plural sense.

[0020] The present disclosure describes a method and a device for a user equipment (UE) that transmits UE information.

[0021] In a communication network, end-to-end communication can be established as a data communication session (or, called a data session or a communication session). Each data session may include the transmission of data of different types, characteristics, and transmission requirements. Therefore, a data session may be configured to include a plurality of data flows (which may be called QoS flows), and each data flow includes data having similar transmission characteristics and / or associated with similar transmission quality requirements. The transmission of each of these data flows can be controlled and configured based on its transmission characteristics / requirements. For example, the allocation of communication resources to a data flow by a communication network may be based on the transmission characteristics / requirements of the data flow. Such transmission characteristics / requirements of a data flow can be used to determine a set of transmission parameters collectively referred to as the QoS information of the data flow. Then, the configuration of the transmission of the data flow (such as communication resource allocation) may be based on such QoS information. The determination and transmission of QoS information may be performed by network elements within the communication network assigned to configure and manage the transmission of the data flow. A "network element" may include one or more network nodes, one or more network functions, and / or one or more network entities.

[0022] A data flow may be associated with QoS information. In a network, QoS information is typically used to provide service guarantees. QoS information includes the characteristics or requirements of a data flow. QoS information may include QoS parameters and QoS policy information such as QoS profiles, QoS rules, and / or policy control and charging (PCC) rules.

[0023] In existing data transmission, the base station and / or the UE may passively perform data transmission based on the QoS information configuration determined by the core network, but this may bring about some arguments / issues. As an example of the argument / issue, since UE information is difficult to handle for the core network and / or the base station, the QoS information may be inappropriate for the UE's data transmission. According to the inappropriate QoS information, the base station may allocate inappropriate resources to the UE. Furthermore, adapting to the time-varying network environment for data transmission is a process that is too long to change the QoS information configuration. In the conventional QoS mechanism, data transmission is inefficient.

[0024] This disclosure describes various embodiments for the UE to transmit UE information and / or actively send UE information so that the network can configure more reasonable data transmission control information to improve data transmission efficiency.

[0025] FIG. 1A shows a wireless communication system 100 including a core network (CN) 110, a radio access network (RAN) 130, and one or more user equipment (UEs) (152, 154, and 156). The RAN 130 may include one or more base stations. The base station may include at least one evolved Node B (eNB) for 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE), or a next-generation Node B (gNB) for 5G New Radio (NR), or a Node B for 6G, or any other type of signal transceiver device such as a UMTS Node B. In one implementation, the core network 110 may include a 5G core network (5GC), and the interface 125 may include a new generation (NG) interface. The core network 110 may further include at least one policy control function (PCF), and / or at least one session management function (SMF), and / or at least one user plane function (UPF), and / or at least one access and mobility management function (AMF).

[0026] Referring to FIG. 1A, the first UE 152 may receive one or more downlink communications 142 from the RAN 130 and transmit one or more uplink communications 141 to the RAN 130. Similarly, the second UE 154 may receive downlink communication 144 from the RAN 130 and transmit uplink communication 143 to the RAN 130, and the third UE 156 may receive downlink communication 146 from the RAN 130 and transmit uplink communication 145 to the RAN 130. For example, but not limited to, the downlink communication may include a physical downlink (DL) shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and the uplink (UL) communication may include a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

[0027] In some implementations, the core network (CN) may include one or more core network functions related to QoS information, as shown in FIG. 1B described below. The core network may communicate with the UE 171 and / or communicate with the UE via the RAN 172.

[0028] A more detailed description of the functionality of various network nodes and network functions related to QoS information in the wireless communication network of FIG. 1B is described in more detail.

[0029] Referring to the UPF (User Plane Function) 173, the UPF performs functions including, but not limited to, radio in / radio between access technology (RAT) mobility, packet routing and forwarding, traffic usage reporting, user plane service quality (QoS) processing, downlink packet buffering, and the role of an anchor point for downlink data notification triggering.

[0030] Referring to the AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) 176, the AMF performs functions including, but not limited to, registration management, connection management, reachability management, and mobility management of the UE 171. The AMF also performs access authentication and access authorization. The AMF 176 has the function as a non-access stratum (NAS) security terminator and may relay session management NAS messages between the UE 171 and the SMF 177. The AMF 176 also performs the SMF selection function during communication session establishment procedures and UE mobility procedures. The AMF may transfer the QoS profile from the SMF to the RAN (or AN) and transfer the QoS rules from the SMF to the UE.

[0031] Referring to the SMF (Session Management Function) 177, the SMF performs functions including, but not limited to, establishment, modification, and release of communication sessions, UE IP address allocation and management (including permission functions as required), selection and control of the UPF 173, and downlink data notification. Each SMF may control one or more UPFs and is associated with a service area which is the set of UPF service areas of all UPFs under its control. The SMF derives the QoS profile according to the PCC rules, generates QoS flows, sends the QoS profile to the RAN, and sends the packet detection rules (PDRs) to the UPF. The PCC rules are bound to the QoS flows. In some implementations, the SMF may also select the UPF based on the UE or session granularity and perform functions such as IP address assignment, charging data collection, and connection to the charging center.

[0032] Referring to the PCF (Policy Control Function) 184, the PCF is responsible for a unified policy framework, provides policy rules for control plane functions, determines policy control and charging (PCC) rules, and authorizes the session management function (SMF) based on service data flow (SDF). The PCF performs functions including, but not limited to, providing policy rules and controlling other network nodes to execute the policy rules. Specifically, the PCF provides access and mobility related policies to the AMF 176, whereby the AMF 176 executes them during mobility procedures.

[0033] In some implementations in 5G NG, a QoS flow is associated with QoS requirements specified by one or more QoS parameters and QoS characteristics within the QoS information. Any QoS flow can be provided to the AN by the SMF via the AMF through the N2 reference point, or a pre-configured QoS profile within the AN, one or more QoS rules, and optionally, QoS flow level QoS parameters associated with these QoS rules, provided to the UE by the SMF via the AMF through the N1 reference point, and / or QoS flow level QoS parameters that can be derived by the UE by applying reflective QoS control, and / or characterized by one or more UL and DL PDRs provided by the SMF to the UPF. For each QoS flow, the QoS profile can include QoS parameters, such as a 5G QoS Identifier (5QI), and / or Allocation and Retention Priority (ARP). For each non-GBR QoS flow only, the QoS profile can also include QoS parameters, such as Reflective QoS Attributes (RQA). For each GBR QoS flow only, the QoS profile may also include QoS parameters, such as Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate (GFBR), and / or Maximum Flow Bit Rate (MFBR), and in the case of GBR QoS flows only, the QoS profile may also include one or more of QoS parameters, such as Notification Control, Maximum Packet Loss Rate. In 5G NR, 5G QoS characteristics as part of the QoS profile associated with the 5QI can include at least one of Resource Type (e.g., GBR, Delay Critical GBR, or non-GBR), Priority Level, Packet Delay Budget (including Core Network Packet Delay Budget), Packet Error Rate, Averaging Window (in the case of GBR and / or Delay Critical GBR resource types only), and / or Maximum Data Burst Volume (in the case of Delay Critical GBR resource type only).

[0034] In some implementation forms of 5G NG, the PCF determines QoS policies such as PCC rules according to the obtained service requirements and subscription information, and the PCC rules include QoS parameters and charging policies. The SMF performs the binding of SDFs to QoS flows based on QoS and service requirements. After receiving the PCC rules provided by the PCF, the SMF assigns a QFI to the new QoS flow and derives its QoS profile, corresponding UPF instructions, and QoS rules from the PCC rules and other information provided by the PCF. When the PDU session is established, the SMF transmits QoS information by configuring a PDR for the UPF, a QoS profile for the RAN, and a QoS rule for the UE. According to the QoS information from the SMF, the UPF maps the IP data flow into multiple QoS flows by the PDU session. The SMF provides a QoS profile to the access network via the AMF, thereby instructing the access network (AN) to perform data flow matching and mapping of radio bearers. The uplink transmission of the UE collates and maps data packets according to the QoS rules, and the QoS rules are also transmitted to the UE by the SMF via the AMF in the NAS message. In the case of a GBR QoS flow, an alternative QoS profile can also be transmitted by enabling notification control, and the access network can select a set of appropriate QoS parameters from multiple sets of QoS profiles. The QoS profile can be used for a long time in the PDU session until the RAN selects an alternative QoS profile and feeds it back to the CN. The QoS information transmission via the control plane is in a quasi-static mode. However, UE information such as UE transmission status information, UE uplink service quality (QoS) information, or UE application layer information is not included in the QoS information. Since the QoS information cannot enable the network to know the UE's situation in a timely manner, it is inaccurate and inappropriate for data transmission. The core network does not have to determine appropriate QoS rules for the UE.The base station cannot allocate appropriate resources for UE traffic and schedule them efficiently. The resources include, but are not limited to, bearers, channels, time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, spatial-domain resources, etc. The bearer may be a radio bearer such as a data radio bearer (DRB) or a signaling radio bearer (SRB). The channel may be a logical channel (LC), a logical channel group (LCG), a transport channel, or a physical channel.

[0035] This disclosure describes various embodiments for a UE to transmit UE information and / or actively send UE information so that the network can configure more reasonable data transmission control information to improve data transmission efficiency according to the UE information, and to address at least one of the above-mentioned arguments / issues.

[0064] The present disclosure describes several different non-limiting embodiments and / or examples for a user equipment (UE) that transmits UE information. These embodiments and / or samples are described as some of many possible implementations of the present disclosure and do not impose any limitation on the present disclosure.

[0065] Embodiment 1 The present disclosure describes several embodiments for a UE to actively transmit UE information to a base station. The embodiments may include some or all of the following steps.

[0066] In step 11, before a new data transmission, the UE transmits UE information such as UL QoS information and UE application layer information. The UE information may be carried to the core network in a NAS message. The new data transmission includes, but is not limited to, the establishment of a new session, a new data transmission after DTX, and the establishment of a data connection with the core network. The UL QoS information means UL QoS requirements and may be expressed as one or more UL QoS profiles. The UE application layer information reflects application layer requirements such as service continuity, application layer packet arrival prediction information, and application layer service status.

[0067] In step 12, the core network receives the UE information from the UE. For example, the AMF receives the UE information via a NAS message. Then, the PCF and the SMF may obtain the UE information from the AMF.

[0068] In step 13, the core network transmits UE information to the base station. Further, the core network transmits the UE information to the base station after the core network modifies the UE information. For example, the SMF determines and / or selects one or more QoS profiles as UE information to the base station according to the UE information received from the UE. Further, the core network updates the QoS rules of the UE according to the UE information received from the UE. For example, the PCF modifies the QoS rules, and the SMF transmits them to the UE via the AMF, and thus, the UE may use the updated QoS rules for data transmission.

[0069] In step 14, the base station receives the UE information. The base station receives the UE information from the core network, for example, from the SMF.

[0070] In step 15, the base station allocates resources for UE data transmission according to the UE information received from the CN. The base station allocating resources includes, but is not limited to, the base station scheduling the UE, the upper layer of the base station mapping one or more DRBs to the UE, the base station allocating one or more logical channels to the UE, the base station allocating one or more logical channel groups to the UE, the base station allocating transport resources to the UE, the base station allocating specific time-frequency domain resources to the UE, or the base station allocating specific spatial resources to the UE.

[0071] In step 16, the base station determines and configures data transmission control information for UE data transmission. The data transmission control information includes at least one of the following, namely, logical channel priority, logical channel ID, logical channel group ID, time-frequency domain resources, number of resource elements (RE), modulation and coding scheme (MCS), transport block size (TB size), spatial multiplexing information, power information, specific traffic ID, radio bearer ID, or scheduling information.

[0072] In step 17, the base station transmits data transmission control information to the UE to indicate UE data transmission.

[0073] In step 18, the UE receives the data transmission control information and transmits data according to the data transmission control information. The UE transmitting data includes, but is not limited to, the UE transmitting traffic data on the resources indicated by the data transmission control information, the UE transmitting traffic data according to the scheduling information indicated by the data transmission control information. For example, the scheduling information may be MCS, resource location, or spatial multiplexing information, or the UE transmitting traffic data not exceeding the TB size indicated by the data transmission control information. Further, the UE maps and transmits traffic data according to the data transmission control information from the base station and the QoS rules from the core network.

[0074] In some implementations, the UE may directly transmit UE information to the base station without a core network transfer process. Therefore, steps 12 and 13 above may be deleted.

[0075] In some implementations, the base station first transmits an activation signal to the UE to actively transmit UE information. The activation signal indicates that the UE is activated to actively transmit UE information. The activation signal may be carried by a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), a Downlink Control Information (DCI) message, or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message. After receiving the activation signal, the UE can transmit UE information under trigger conditions.

[0076] In some implementation forms, the UE information includes UE transmission status information. When the UE information is transmitted to the core network, the core network may know the UE transmission effect (e.g., delay, jitter, packet loss, etc.) and select appropriate QoS parameters to adapt to the UE transmission. When the UE information is transmitted to the base station, the base station may know the UE downlink transmission performance / situation and allocate appropriate transmission resources and data transmission control information. In a non-limiting example, the UE information includes any one or any combination of the following (but not limited to these), namely, downlink (DL) bit error rate (BER), downlink (DL) block error rate (BLER), radio link state, etc., downlink (DL) traffic reception status, clock synchronization error, packet loss rate of downlink data, first transmission success rate of downlink data, retransmission rate of downlink data, maximum number of retransmissions of downlink data, number of retransmissions of downlink data, or duration without PDCCH. The base station knows the DL traffic transmission according to the UE information. Then, the base station determines how to transmit the UE's UL traffic with reference to the UE's DL traffic transmission. The base station also determines the data transmission control information for the UE's UL traffic with reference to the UE's DL traffic transmission.

[0077] In some implementations, after receiving UE information, the base station actively transmits processing capabilities to the core network regarding appropriate QoS parameters and / or QoS policies. As one non-limiting example, in a time-sensitive network (TSN) scenario, after receiving UE information, the base station finds UE traffic requirements that exceed the capabilities of the base station and actively transmits one or the base station information that the base station can support to ensure that the deterministic requirements of the base station are met within a reasonable range. TSN may adjust policies such as node reconfiguration and revision of the base station's deterministic requirements. The base station information includes, but is not limited to, the deterministic capabilities that the base station can support, the deterministic level of the base station, the traffic packet size that the base station can support, the service delay that the base station can support, the traffic jitter range that the base station can support, and / or the service reliability that the base station can support. The QoS information to the base station takes into account whether the base station can support service requirements and deterministic requirements, thus avoiding the uncertainty risk caused by exceeding the capacity of the base station.

[0078] Embodiment 2 The present disclosure describes some other embodiments for a UE to actively transmit UE information such as uplink QoS requirements and / or UE transmission status information to a base station, and for the base station to adjust a scheduling policy according to the UE information. The embodiment may include some or all of the following steps.

[0079] In step 21, the UE obtains UE information. The UE information is obtained in one of the following ways, namely, the UE obtains it through measurement, the UE obtains it through perception, the UE obtains historical data statistics, the UE obtains it from an artificial intelligence (AI) network element, and / or the UE obtains it through information transmitted by a higher layer (e.g., the application layer). The UE information may be used for either (or both) uplink or downlink data communication.

[0080] In step 22, the UE actively transmits UE information to the base station. The UE information includes, but is not limited to, the priority information of the uplink traffic, the jitter range of the uplink traffic, the reliability requirement information of the uplink traffic, the relationship information between the uplink traffic packets, the relationship information between the downlink traffic packets and the uplink traffic packets, or the packet loss tolerance information of the uplink traffic.

[0081] In step 23, the base station receives the UE information actively transmitted by the UE and determines a scheduling policy. In a non-limiting example, when the base station knows through the UE information that a packet with low traffic requires packet loss tolerance, the base station may prioritize the UE and allocate the best time-frequency resources by smart scheduling (or intelligent scheduling). The intelligent scheduling method includes a pre-configured scheduling data volume and a pre-scheduling duration.

[0082] Embodiment 3 The present disclosure describes various ways (or methods) for the UE to transmit UE information. The embodiments may include some or all of the following.

[0083] In some implementations, the UE information may be transmitted to the base station via uplink control information (UCI). Further, the UE information may be indicated by a scheduling request (SR) or channel state information (CSI) of the UCI. The UCI may be carried on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a PUSCH.

[0084] In some implementations, the UE information may be transmitted to the base station via a medium access control layer (MAC) control element (CE). Further, the UE information may be indicated by a buffer status report (BSR). The BSR may be carried on a PUSCH.

[0085] In some implementation forms, the UE information may be transmitted to the base station via a radio resource control (RRC) message. Further, the UE information may be indicated in the RRC message.

[0086] In some implementation forms, the UE information may be transmitted to the base station via the control plane or the user plane. When transmitted via the control plane, the UE information is transmitted in a signaling message. For example, the UE information is carried in an RRC message, a NAS message, or an application layer message. When transmitted via the user plane, the UE information is transmitted as a traffic data flow. For example, when the UE information is transmitted by packets, there is a specific packet type in the UE information. Also, the UE information as an application packet.

[0087] In some implementation forms, the UE transmitting the UE information to the base station may be the UE transmitting the UE information to the base station via the core network. For example, the UE transmits the UE information to the core network via a NAS message, the UE information is carried in the NAS message, and then the core network transmits the UE information to the base station.

[0088] In some implementation forms, the UE transmitting the UE information to the core network may be the UE application layer transmitting the UE information to the UE NAS layer, and the UE transmitting the UE information to the core network by the NAS message of the NAS layer.

[0089] Embodiment 4 The present disclosure describes various components within UE information associated with specific traffic. For specific traffic, special QoS guarantees may be required. By actively transmitting UE information related to specific traffic requirements, the network may help improve the specific traffic experience. Some non-limiting examples are described below for illustrative purposes only.

[0090] In one non-limiting example, the UE recognizes specific uplink (UL) traffic requirements, such as UL application requirements, and transmits UE information to the base station. The UE information includes a specific traffic ID and traffic requirements. The base station determines how to transmit the specific traffic of the UE and allocates logical resources or physical resources to the UE. Further, the base station transmits data transmission control information indicating to the UE to transmit the specific traffic on the uplink. The specific traffic ID and the resources allocated to the specific traffic are included in the data transmission control information. The data transmission control information may be carried in a UL grant. After receiving the data transmission control information, the UE transmits specific traffic data on the allocated resources. For example, the base station pre-allocates specific resources for the UE's future time-sensitive traffic according to the traffic ID and traffic requirements in the UE information. The UE transmits time-dependent traffic on the specific resources according to the time-dependent traffic ID and the specific resources indicated by the UL grant. The traffic requirements include, but are not limited to, a deterministic traffic level, a deterministic traffic packet size, a deterministic traffic delay, a deterministic traffic jitter range, a deterministic traffic reliability, a deterministic traffic period, an expected arrival time, and / or a required bit error (BER). The specific resources include, but are not limited to, a data radio bearer ID associated with the traffic ID, a logical channel ID associated with the traffic ID, a logical channel group ID associated with the traffic ID, a HARQ process ID associated with the traffic ID, and / or a resource indicator of a time-frequency region associated with the traffic ID.

[0091] In some implementation forms, the UE information is UE uplink service quality (QoS) information. The UE uplink service quality (QoS) information includes at least one of the following, namely, a downlink traffic identifier (ID) associated with uplink traffic, a downlink service identifier (ID) associated with an uplink service, a downlink logical channel ID associated with uplink traffic, or a downlink packet ID associated with uplink traffic. Since the base station knows the relationship between uplink traffic and downlink traffic according to the UE information, the UE may transmit uplink traffic with reference to the transmission mode of downlink traffic. For example, the UE transmits UE information of a downlink traffic identifier (ID) associated with uplink traffic. The base station may allocate the same resources of downlink traffic to uplink traffic.

[0092] In some implementation forms, the UE recognizes specific uplink (UL) traffic requirements such as UL application requirements, and transmits UE information associated with a specific traffic ID to the core network. The core network configures one or more QoS profiles for the specific traffic, and transmits the QoS profile having the specific traffic ID to the base station. The base station allocates specific resources for the specific traffic of the UE according to the QoS profile and the specific traffic ID. The UE transmits specific traffic data within the specific resources under the control of the base station.

[0093] In some implementation forms, the UE information includes any one or any combination of the following (but not limited to these), namely, traffic type, traffic characteristics, and traffic arrival time. For example, in an extended reality (XR) scenario, there are three frame types with different importance levels. The frame may be the most important and may require a higher QoS guarantee. The UE pre-transmits UE information including the uplink frame arrival time of all frame types to the core network. The core network may assign different QoS parameters to different frame types. The base station may allocate different uplink resources to the UE for different frame types.

[0094] In some implementation forms, the UE may associate UE information such as uplink TB size, PDB, BER, etc. with specific traffic to help the core network determine the QoS policy and parameters of the specific traffic. In some implementation forms, the UE information includes UE uplink service quality (QoS) information associated with a specific traffic ID. The UE uplink service quality (QoS) information includes the expected UL QoS profile of the specific traffic and the specific traffic ID.

[0095] In some implementation forms, the base station may allocate resources for UL specific traffic according to the UE information. The UE information includes any one or any combination of the following (but not limited to these), namely, the expected uplink TB size, the maximum uplink TB size, the expected uplink slot, the expected uplink duration, the expected uplink period, and / or the expected uplink carrier frequency.

[0096] In some implementation forms, the UE information includes any one or any combination of the following (but not limited to these), namely, application layer service requirements, application layer service status, application layer traffic requirements, application layer traffic status, traffic type, traffic characteristics, application layer status information, network layer application layer requirements, or network layer application layer QoS requirements. The application layer service status includes any one or any combination of the following (but not limited to these), namely, service continuity, interrupted service, or service availability. The application layer traffic status includes any one or any combination of the following (but not limited to these), namely, application layer packet arrival prediction information, application layer packet delay indicator.

[0097] Embodiment 5 This disclosure describes an embodiment for a UE to determine UE information.

[0098] In some implementation forms, the UE determines UE information through measurement. For example, the UE obtains the radio link quality of the UE information by measurement. The measurement includes any one or any combination of the following (but not limited to these), namely, channel state information (CSI) measurement, radio resource management (RRM) measurement, radio link failure (RLF) measurement, and / or service status measurement.

[0099] In some implementation forms, the UE determines UE information through perception. According to the historical data statistical information, the UE derives UE information such as the proposed QoS profile and the proposed resources.

[0100] In some implementations, the UE obtains UE information via an artificial intelligence (AI) network element. The AI network element may analyze historical data and create UE information. For example, the AI network element may propose a set of QoS parameters within the UE information. The AI network element may be a node, a function, or an entity.

[0101] In some implementations, the UE determines UE information by being transmitted by a higher layer (e.g., the application layer). The application layer on the UE side distributes application layer information to lower layers of the UE such as the NAS layer, the radio resource control (RRC) layer, and the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer. In some implementations, the UE information is carried in a message. In some implementations, the UE information is carried in the header of a data PDU.

[0102] In some implementations, the UE obtains UE application layer information by the UE application layer delivering application layer information to the NAS layer on the UE side. For example, the UE application layer information may be delivered via an interface between the application layer and the radio communication network. In another example, the UE application layer information may be delivered via a tunnel between the application layer and the radio communication network. In some implementations, the UE application layer information may be carried by specific application layer packets from the application layer. The specific application layer packets include at least one of the following, namely, application layer status information, application layer requirements of the network layer, or application layer QoS requirements of the network layer. In some implementations, after the NAS layer of the UE obtains the UE application layer information from the application layer, the UE transmits the UE application layer information to the core network by means of an NAS message. Then, the core network transmits the UE information including the UE application layer information to the base station. In some implementations, the UE application layer information may be carried in a header field of an application layer packet from the application layer. In some implementations, the UE application layer information may be carried in a data field of an application layer packet from the application layer.

[0103] In some implementations, the UE determines UE information according to the reception of downlink data. From the analysis of the downlink data information, the UE derives the UE information. For example, the UE may analyze the downlink data configuration parameters and the downlink data errors. Through the analysis, the UE finds a high error rate for the downlink data in a specific resource having a specific HARQ process ID. Then, the UE proposes a resource having another HARQ process ID in the UE information.

[0104] Embodiment 6 This disclosure describes various ways (or methods) to trigger the transmission of UE information. The triggering method for the UE to transmit QoS information may be a time-based trigger or an event-based trigger. The time-based trigger method may include at least one of the following, namely, period-based transmission, timer-based transmission, etc. The event-based trigger method may include at least one of the following, namely, transmitting when the UE first accesses the network, transmitting when the UE's capabilities are updated, etc.

[0105] In some implementations, one way for the UE to trigger the reporting of UE information is that after the UE accesses the network for data transmission over a certain period, the UE may obtain data information from the base station, and the UE stores the historical data information locally. When the UE starts new traffic, the UE compares the difference between the current traffic data requirements and the historical data information. When the UE discovers that it cannot meet the traffic requirements based on the historical data information, the UE is triggered to transmit UE information.

[0106] In some implementations, another way for the UE to trigger the reporting of UE information is that the UE first initiates a request to transmit UE information, the base station indicates to the UE the method of transmitting UE information, and allocates transmission resources to the UE in the response message. Then, the UE transmits the UE information within the resources indicated in the response message.

[0107] In some implementations, another method for the base station to trigger the reporting of UE information is as follows, that is, the base station may transmit a signaling message to trigger the UE to report UE information. For example, the signaling message is an activation signaling for activating UE information. In another example, the signaling message is a measurement message, and the measurement message indicates to the UE to transmit UE information.

[0108] The present disclosure describes a method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication. The present disclosure addresses aspects related to a user equipment (UE) that transmits UE information. The methods, devices, and computer-readable media described in the present disclosure can facilitate the performance of wireless communication by the UE that transmits UE information, and thus can improve efficiency and overall performance.
