Description

[Technical Field]

[0002] The widespread commercialization of the 5th Generation Mobile Communication System (5G)'s new air interface (New Radio, NR) is accelerating the digitalization, networking, and smart transformation of the economy and society, propelling networks into a new era of the Internet of Everything. Rapidly emerging application needs in smart cities, smart transportation, smart industrial manufacturing, and other areas are continuously strengthening the development trends of differentiated network device performance, diversified network functions, and smart network management and control, further promoting the arrival of the 6th Generation Mobile Communication System (6G) as an intelligent Internet of Everything. Typical 6G application scenarios, such as smart cities, smart transportation, and smart homes, feature a large number of smart automation devices with highly differentiated capabilities. These demanding communications requirements, including ultra-low latency, ultra-high reliability, ultra-high bandwidth, and massive access, necessitate high-precision and high-resolution sensing capabilities. On the one hand, the rapid increase in the number of wireless communication and sensing devices is creating an increasingly prominent conflict between the ever-increasing demands for services and the limited wireless resources and computing power available. On the other hand, realizing the 6G vision requires closed-loop information stream processing, which involves layer-by-layer distribution of environmental sensing information acquisition, information exchange and sharing, intelligent information processing, and control information (including control information for the communication network and control commands for application-executing devices). Traditional wireless network architectures and related technologies struggle to meet the constantly emerging application needs of the post-5G (5G and Beyond, B5G) / 6G era. Therefore, there is a strong need to develop new network architectures and enabling technologies that efficiently utilize resources and intelligently adapt to differentiated applications. They also provide methods for generating data channels for terminal types to meet the data transmission requirements of different types of UEs and improve spectral efficiency.

[0015] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail based on the examples with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that terms such as "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of the embodiments of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to distinguish between similar objects and are not intended to describe a specific order or priority.

[0016] The method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device. As an example of implementation on a computer terminal, FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration block diagram of a mobile terminal for implementing the information transmission method of the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal may include one or more processors 102 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 1) (the processor 102 may include, but is not limited to, a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data. The mobile terminal may further include a transmission device 106 with communication capabilities and an input / output device 108. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is merely schematic and does not limit the configuration of the mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than those shown in FIG. 1 or may have a different configuration than that shown in FIG. 1.

[0017] The memory 104 may store computer programs, such as software programs and modules of application software, such as a computer program corresponding to the information transmission method of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The processor 102 executes the computer programs stored in the memory 104 to perform various functional applications and data processing, i.e., to realize the above-described methods. The memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, the memory 104 may further include memory located remotely from the processor 102, which may be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0018] The transmission device 106 transmits and receives data via a network. An example of the network may include a wireless network provided by a communications vendor of the mobile terminal. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network interface controller (NIC) that is connected to other network devices via a base station and can communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 may be a radio frequency (RF) module that communicates with the Internet wirelessly.

[0019] In the 5G mobile communication system (NR), system information is transmitted via the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) in the Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block (SSB), where the Master Information Block (MIB) is transmitted, and then via the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) where the System Information Block (SIB) is transmitted. The SIB can be divided into multiple blocks, each carrying different system information. Typical 6G application scenarios, such as smart cities, smart transportation, and smart homes, feature a large number of smart automated devices with highly differentiated capabilities, resulting in increased communication needs for extremely low latency, extremely high reliability, ultra-wideband, and large-scale access. In the 6G era, the number of types of terminals accessing the system will be extremely large. Therefore, adopting a data channel generation method with a limited number of combinations, such as NR, will significantly limit the terminal data transmission efficiency and affect the system's spectral efficiency. To meet the data transmission requirements of different types of UEs and improve spectral efficiency, a terminal-specific data channel generation method is needed.

[0020] The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, and distributed learning, is having a profound impact on fields such as communication network optimization and intelligent sensing and control applications, greatly promoting the potential for deep integration between communication, sensing, and computing. Based on this, 6G will be enabled by intelligent computing technology, realizing the integration and symbiosis of communication and sensing capabilities, endowing 6G networks with the ability to intelligently sense the physical world and mirror-map the digital world anytime and anywhere. The large number of connected new smart devices will rely on constantly increasing computing power to learn, interact, cooperate, and compete, enabling self-learning, self-operating, and self-maintaining networks and further realizing the vision of a 6G integrated communication, sensing, and computing network.

[0125] (Scene Example 1) In this example scenario, the second functional module, i.e., the updated AI module, directly completes transmission in step S2202. In this example scenario, the first node is a UE, the second node is a TRP, and the third node is an AI server or AI module. The first functional module is the functional module currently in use, and the second functional module is the functional module to be used or updated. Figure 22 is a principle schematic diagram of a functional module update method according to an example scenario of the present disclosure. 22 As shown in the figure, the process includes the following steps S2202 to S2210.

[0126] In step S2202, the UE performs a function module update. request The information can be sent directly to the AI ​​server or forwarded by the TRP.

[0127] In this example scenario, the function module update request information includes at least one of the layout information of the first function module and the layout information of the second function module.

[0128] The location information of the first function module includes at least one of a version number of the first function module and descriptive information of a function realized by the first function module.

[0129] The location information of the second function module includes at least one of the version number of the second function module, description information of the function realized by the second function module, and configuration information of the second function module.

[0130] In step S2204, the AI ​​server sends a response message to the UE, and the response message can be sent directly to the UE or forwarded by the TRP.

[0131] In step S2206, the UE makes an update decision according to the response information. If the response message is "first instruction information", the UE uses / updates the second function module after receiving the response message. If the response message is "second instruction information", the UE gives up using / updating the second function module after receiving the response message.

[0132] The time interval from when the UE receives the response message until when the UE uses / updates the second function module can be set by the AI ​​server, or can adopt a default setting, or can be included in the response message.

[0133] In step S2208, if the response message is "third instruction information", the UE sends the first information to the AI ​​server after receiving the response message.

[0134] The first information includes at least one of security authentication information, institutional authentication information, and reputation information.

[0135] In step S2210, after receiving the first information, the AI ​​server sends fourth instruction information to the UE, instructing the UE to use / update the second function module.

[0136] The interval time from when the UE receives the fourth instruction information until the UE uses / updates the second function module can be set by the AI ​​server, or can adopt a default setting, or can be included in the response message.

[0137] In this example scene, the second node, the TRP, and the third node, the AI ​​server, may or may not reside within the same entity.

[0138] In this example scenario, after a functional module is updated, i.e., after the second functional module is updated, there is an update enable delay, and after the update enable delay, system communication continues using the updated functional module.

[0139] (Scene Example 2) In this example scenario, the configuration information of the second functional module is not sent to the third node or the second node in the first step, and when the second node or the third node needs the configuration information of the second functional module, the first node sends the configuration information of the second functional module to the second node or the third node.

[0140] In this example scenario, the first node is a UE, the second node is a TRP, and the third node is an AI server. The first functional module is a functional module currently in use, and the second functional module is a functional module to be used or updated.

[0141] FIG. 23 is a principle schematic diagram of a functional module updating method according to a scene embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in FIG. 23, it includes the following steps S2302 to S2310.

[0142] In step S2302, the UE performs a function module update. request The information can be sent directly to the AI ​​server or forwarded by the TRP.

[0143] In this example scenario, the function module update request information includes at least one of the layout information of the first function module and the layout information of the second function module.

[0144] The location information of the first function module includes at least one of a version number of the first function module and descriptive information of a function realized by the first function module.

[0145] The location information of the second function module includes at least one of a version number of the second function module and descriptive information of a function realized by the second function module.

[0146] In step S2304, the AI ​​server sends instruction information to the UE, where the instruction information is used to instruct the UE to send configuration information of the second function module to the AI ​​server.

[0147] In this step, the AI ​​server may directly reject the UE's function module update request information.

[0148] In step S2306, the UE sends the configuration information of the second function module to the AI ​​server.

[0149] In step S2308, the AI ​​server sends a response message to the UE, and the response message can be sent directly to the UE or forwarded by the TRP.

[0150] In step S2310, the UE makes an update decision according to the response information. If the response message is "first instruction information", the UE uses / updates the second function module after receiving the response message. If the response message is "second instruction information", the UE gives up using / updating the second function module after receiving the response message.

[0151] The time interval from when the UE receives the response message until when the UE uses / updates the second function module can be set by the AI ​​server, or can adopt a default setting, or can be included in the response message.

[0152] If the response message is the "third instruction information", after receiving the response message, the UE sends first information to the AI ​​server, where the first information includes at least one of security authentication information, institution authentication information, and reputation information.

[0153] After receiving the first information, the AI ​​server sends fourth instruction information to the UE, instructing the UE to use / update the second function module.

[0154] The interval time from when the UE receives the fourth instruction information until the UE uses / updates the second function module can be set by the AI ​​server, or can adopt a default setting, or can be included in the response message.

[0155] In this example scene, the second node, the TRP, and the third node, the AI ​​server, may or may not reside within the same entity.

[0156] In this example scenario, after a functional module is updated, i.e., after the second functional module is updated, there is an update enable delay, and after the update enable delay, system communication continues using the updated functional module.

[0157] As described above, the information transmission and reception method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used before, during, or after updating a functional module, and is used to grasp the status information of each functional module, and also to transmit information when updating a functional module. send It can be used to:
