[0154] In some implementations, a terminal can search for multiple satellite signals and determine an access satellite based on the satellite signal strength. For example, a first threshold can be set, and the satellite corresponding to the satellite signal strength exceeding the first threshold can be selected as the access satellite; or the satellite with the highest satellite signal strength can be selected as the access satellite.

[0155] In some implementations, after acquiring an access satellite, the terminal performs downlink synchronization with the access satellite.

[0156] In some implementations, the terminal matches its own signal with the satellite signal. Optionally, if the match is successful, the terminal performs downlink synchronization with the access satellite. For example, if the terminal has a pre-stored sequence, and the sequence returned by the satellite matches the terminal's own sequence, the terminal performs downlink synchronization with the access satellite.

[0157] In some implementations, if the terminal's own signal does not match the current satellite signal, the terminal searches for the next satellite signal until a match is found, at which point the terminal synchronizes downlink with the access satellite. For example, if the sequence fed back by the satellite does not match the terminal's own sequence, the terminal does not synchronize with the access satellite and searches for the next access satellite.

[0158] In step S2102, the core network device sends the trained AI model to the access network device.

[0159] In some implementations, the AI ​​model can be trained in a core network device. Optionally, the core network device is used to train the AI ​​model.

[0160] In some implementations, core network equipment can train an AI model based on historical satellite data from successful accesses. Optionally, information about access network devices with successful accesses can be recorded, such as the device's ephemeris information and the terminal's state information at the time of access. Furthermore, this access network device information can be mapped to the configuration used by the terminal during successful access, such as spatial transmission channel parameters, Doppler shift, and TA. The AI ​​model is trained using the ephemeris information of the device and the terminal's state information. The predicted output is compared with the actual output until the error between the AI ​​model's predicted and actual output is less than a preset value, resulting in a trained AI model. This trained AI model can make predictions based on the information input to the AI ​​model, thereby obtaining information such as spatial transmission channel parameters, Doppler shift, and TA, which can then be used for random access. The information input to the AI ​​model can include, for example, ephemeris information, access threshold information, the desired AI model type, and the terminal's state information. The information output by the AI ​​model can include, for example, parameters related to random access predicted by the AI ​​model based on the input information.

[0161] In some implementations, after the AI ​​model is trained on the core network device, the core network device sends the trained AI model to the access network device. Optionally, the access network device receives the AI ​​model sent by the core network device.

[0162] Step S2103: The access network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0163] In some implementations, the first information includes an AI model set, which includes at least one trained AI model. Optionally, the terminal receives the trained AI model. Optionally, the AI ​​model can be trained on a core network device or in the cloud. After AI model training is completed, the core network device or the cloud sends the trained AI model to the access network device, which then sends the trained AI model to the terminal.

[0164] In some implementations, the AI ​​model set includes at least one of: a spatial transmission channel model, a channel state information (CSI) model, and a beam management model.

[0165] In some implementations, the AI ​​model is used to predict spatial transmission information.

[0166] In some implementations, different access network devices correspond to different AI models. Optionally, the access network device can be a communications satellite, a meteorological satellite, a remote sensing satellite, or a navigation satellite, and different satellite information corresponds to different AI models. For example, different satellite types may correspond to different AI models, or satellites of the same type may correspond to different AI models depending on their orbits and altitudes. Optionally, the access network device sends its corresponding AI model to the terminal. Optionally, the terminal can receive the AI ​​model sent by the access network device.

[0167] In some implementations, the first information may be newly added system information, that is, the access network device may construct new system information and send the AI ​​model set to the terminal through the newly added system information.

[0168] In some implementations, the first information can reuse existing system information, that is, the access network device can send the AI ​​model set to the terminal through the existing system information, thereby saving signaling.

[0169] In some implementations, the first information may be broadcasted by the access network device, and optionally, each terminal connected to the access network device may receive the first information. Of course, it is also possible to send the first information via unicast or other means.

[0170] In some implementations, the first information may include at least one of a master information block (MIB), access threshold information, and ephemeris information.

[0171] In some implementations, the master information block (MIB) may include a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier and scheduling information of a schedule block (SB) / system information block (SIB).

[0172] In some implementations, the master information block (MIB) may reflect relevant information of the access network device, to assist in determining whether the access network device at this time is a correct satellite.

[0173] In some implementations, access threshold information is used to filter or limit signal strength to determine whether the signal strength of the current access network device meets the conditions for access communication. For example, the access threshold information may include signal strength information or area range information. Optionally, when the signal strength meets the access threshold, the corresponding signal is received.

[0174] In some implementations, ephemeris information is satellite-related motion trajectory information, used to reflect the motion information of the current access network device, to facilitate prediction of subsequent parameter information and improve the success rate of terminal access to the access network device. Optionally, ephemeris information can include information such as the satellite's motion trajectory, motion speed, or motion direction.

[0175] In some implementations, the access network device may be a satellite. Optionally, the satellite sends its own ephemeris information to the terminal.

[0176] In some implementations, the naming of the first information is not limited. For example, the first information can be "AI model information", "request for obtaining AI model information", or "indication information of the AI ​​model", etc.

[0177] Step S2104: The terminal obtains third information.

[0178] In some implementations, the third information is used to instruct the terminal to obtain its own information and satellite information.

[0179] In some implementations, the third information is used to request the terminal to obtain its own information and satellite information.

[0180] In some implementations, the third information may include status information of the terminal.

[0181] In some implementations, the third information may include received ephemeris information.

[0182] In some implementations, the terminal's status information may include, but is not limited to: an elevation angle between the terminal and an access satellite, a movement direction of the terminal, and a movement speed of the terminal.

[0183] In some implementations, the naming of the third information is not limited. For example, the third information can be "self-information and satellite information", "request for obtaining self-information and satellite information", or "indication information of self-information and satellite information".

[0184] Step S2105: The terminal obtains the second information based on the AI ​​model and the third information.

[0185] In some implementations, the terminal inputs the third information into a trained AI model to obtain the second information. Optionally, the AI ​​model outputs the second information. Optionally, the terminal's status information and ephemeris information are input into the AI ​​model for prediction to obtain the second information.

[0186] In some implementations, the second information may include, but is not limited to: spatial transmission channel parameters, Doppler shift, and timing advance (TA).

[0187] In some implementations, the naming of the second information is not limited. For example, the second information can be "prediction parameter information", "model output information", or "spatial transmission channel parameter information", "Doppler frequency shift information" and "timing advance information", etc.

[0188] In some implementations, the terminal inputs its own status information and the ephemeris information sent by the access network device into a trained AI model, and the AI ​​model outputs the second information.

[0189] Step S2106: The terminal sends a random access request to the access network device according to the second information to perform random access.

[0190] In some implementations, the random access request is used to request an access network device to perform random access with a terminal.

[0191] In some implementations, the access network device may have a visibility window period. Optionally, the terminal initiates a random access request within the visibility window period of the access network device.

[0192] In some implementations, the terminal performs random access with the access network device and then performs data transmission. Optionally, the terminal performs data transmission with the access network device according to the second information.
