This can improve network performance, including higher data rates, lower latency, and better coverage.

[0173] Network automation: AI / ML enables smarter and more automated network management, reducing the need for manual intervention and enabling operators to focus on more strategic tasks.

[0174] Improve energy efficiency. AI / ML can optimize the use of network resources, thereby reducing energy consumption and operating costs for network operators

[0175] By using AI models in UE and / or NG-RAN, communication system performance can be improved in the following scenarios: AI / ML-based channel state information (CSI), AI / ML-based beam management, AI / ML-based positioning, AI / ML-based network energy saving; AI / ML-based load balancing; AI / ML-based mobility optimization, etc.

[0176] When the AI ​​model is stored in the terminal 101, in order to ensure the reliable use of the AI ​​model, it is proposed that the UE can negotiate AI capabilities with the first entity, thereby ensuring that the AI ​​model used by the UE is consistent with that used by the first entity, providing conditions for improving system performance.

[0177] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for transmitting information, and the method includes:

[0178] Step S2101 : The terminal 101 sends a first request to the first entity 102 .

[0179] In some embodiments, the first request includes first artificial intelligence (AI) parameters.

[0180] In some embodiments, the first AI parameter may be an AI capability identifier (Artificial Intelligence Capability Identification, AI Capability ID), or may be an AI functionality identifier (Artificial Intelligence Functionality Identification, AI Functionality ID).

[0181] In some embodiments, the first AI parameter may be included in an access network (AN) parameter.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first entity 102 receives a first request sent by the terminal 101 .

[0183] In some embodiments, the first request may be a registration request.

[0184] In some embodiments, the first AI parameter is used to indicate the AI ​​capabilities of the terminal, such as AI-based CSI, AI-based beam management, AI-based positioning, etc.

[0185] In some embodiments, terms such as "CSI" and "Channel State Information (CSI)" may be used interchangeably.

[0186] In some embodiments, the first AI parameter included in the first request may be one or more, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0187] In step S2102 , the first entity 102 determines whether the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter is supported.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first entity 102 may determine whether the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter is supported based on at least one of the associated AI information, a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) policy, and the first AI parameter.

[0189] In some embodiments, the associated AI information is the AI ​​capability or AI function information possessed by the first entity 102. The associated AI information may be preset in the first entity 102 or may be agreed upon in a protocol, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0190] In some embodiments, the AI ​​information may be the first AI parameter, or may be other information associated with the first AI parameter, such as an AI model ID, etc., which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0191] In some embodiments, if the first request received by the first entity 102 includes the first AI parameter #1, and the associated AI information of the first entity 102 includes the first AI parameter #1 or includes the AI ​​model ID associated with the first AI parameter #1, the first entity 102 may determine that it supports the AI ​​capability indicated by the first AI parameter #1. Alternatively, if the associated AI information of the first entity 102 does not include the first AI parameter #1 and does not include the AI ​​model ID associated with the first AI parameter #1, the first entity 102 may determine that it does not support the AI ​​capability indicated by the first AI parameter #1.

[0192] In some embodiments, if the first request received by the first entity 102 includes the first AI parameter #1, and the AI ​​information associated with the first entity 102 includes the first AI parameter #1, but the PLMN policy indicates that the AI ​​capability indicated by the first AI parameter #1 is not provided to roaming UEs, the first entity 102 determines that the terminal sending the first request is a roaming UE, and thus can determine that the terminal does not currently support the AI ​​capability indicated by the first AI parameter #1.

[0193] Step S2103 : The first entity 102 sends a first response to the terminal 101 .

[0194] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives a first response sent by the first entity 102 .

[0195] In some embodiments, the first response is used to indicate whether the first entity 102 supports the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter.

[0196] In some embodiments, the value of a certain indication field in the first response can be used to indicate whether the first entity 102 supports the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter. For example, a value of 1 in the indication field indicates that the first entity 102 supports the corresponding AI capability or AI function; otherwise, it indicates that the first entity 102 does not support the corresponding AI capability or AI function. Alternatively, a value of 0 in the indication field indicates that the first entity 102 supports the corresponding AI capability or AI function; otherwise, it indicates that the first entity 102 does not support the corresponding AI capability or AI function, and so on. This disclosure is not limited to this.

[0197] In some embodiments, the first entity 102 supports the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter, and determines the first AI information included in the first response.

[0198] In some embodiments, the first AI information includes at least one of the following: one or more AI model identification IDs; one or more AI capability IDs; one or more AI function IDs.

[0199] In some embodiments, after receiving the first response, the terminal 101 may determine the AI ​​capability or AI function of the first AI parameter supported by the first entity based on the first AI information in the first response.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first response does not include information indicating whether the first entity 102 supports the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter. In this case, if the first response includes the first AI information, the terminal 101 may determine that the first entity 102 supports the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter. Correspondingly, if the first response does not include the first AI information, the terminal 101 may determine that the first entity 102 does not support the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter.

[0201] Step S2104 : The first entity 102 sends first information to the second entity 103 .

[0202] In some embodiments, the first information includes an identifier of the first terminal and the first AI parameter.

[0203] In some embodiments, the second entity 103 may be an AMF network element.

[0204] In some embodiments, technical terms such as the second entity, AMF, access mobility management, Access and Mobility Management Function, etc. can be interchangeable in certain scenarios.

[0205] In one embodiment, the first entity may also receive a second request sent by the second terminal. At this time, if neither the second request nor the first entity includes the second AI parameter of the second terminal, the first entity may send a third request to the second entity, wherein the third request includes the identifier of the second terminal; thereafter, after receiving the second AI parameter sent by the second entity, the first entity may send a second response to the second terminal, wherein the second response is used to indicate whether the first entity supports the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the second AI parameter.

[0206] Step S2105: The second entity 103 stores the first information.

[0207] In some embodiments, the second entity 103 may store the first AI parameter using the first terminal identifier as a key value.

[0208] In some embodiments, after receiving the third request sent by the first entity, the second entity may query and obtain the second AI parameter based on the identifier of the second terminal in the third request, and then return the second AI parameter to the first entity.

[0209] Step S2106: Terminal 101 runs the first AI model of the first AI information.

[0210] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 stores AI models associated with various AI information. When the first response includes the first AI information, the terminal 101 can run the first AI model associated with the first AI model identifier ID based on the first AI model identifier ID in the first AI information.

[0211] In some embodiments, the first AI information in the first response includes multiple first AI model identification IDs, and the terminal can run the first AI models associated with multiple first AI model identification IDs. For example, the terminal may run the first AI model associated with the first first AI model identification ID; or run the first AI model associated with the last first AI model identification ID; or run the first AI model associated with the first AI model identification ID that occupies the least resources, etc., although this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0212] In some embodiments, the first response only indicates that the first entity 102 supports the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter, and the AI ​​capability or AI function indicated by the first AI parameter is only associated with one AI model identification ID, for example, associated with the second AI model identification ID. Then, the terminal 101 can run the second AI model associated with the second AI model identification ID based on the association relationship.

[0213] In step S2107 , the first entity 102 runs the AI ​​model associated with the first AI parameter.

[0214] In some embodiments, the order of the above-mentioned step S2106 and step S2107 can be interchanged, for example, step S2107 is executed first, and then step S2106 is executed.

[0215] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned step S2106 and step S2107 may also be executed in parallel, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0216] In some embodiments, the order of steps S2104 and 2105, and steps 2106 and S2107 can be interchanged or performed simultaneously. For example, steps 2106 and S2107 can be performed first, followed by steps S2104 and 2105. Alternatively, steps S2104 and 2105 can be performed in parallel with steps 2106 and S2107. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0217] The information transmission method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2107. For example, step S2101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S2101+S2103 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0218] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other embodiments or other examples.

[0325] In some embodiments, the first information includes an identifier of the first terminal and a first AI parameter.

[0327] For a detailed description of steps S6101 - S6102 , please refer to the above embodiment description.

[0328] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method.

[0329] The present disclosure provides a method for resolving the UE AI capability negotiation issue between the UE and the network. Optional implementation solutions are as follows:

[0330] As shown in FIG7 , FIG7 is an interactive schematic diagram of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for transmitting information, taking a terminal, where the first entity is a radio access network (RAN) as an example, and the method includes:

[0331] 1. UE initiates a registration request using the access network (AN) parameter [UE AI function ID] and sends it to the RAN

[0332] 2. The RAN determines whether to perform AI operations and which AI model to use based on the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) policy and / or UE AI capability information.

[0333] If so, the RAN also determines the AI ​​model to use.

[0334] If the UE does not provide UE AI capability information or the RAN does not support the AI ​​function, these parameters shall be ignored.

[0335] 3. Authenticate (authorize) the UE.

[0336] Optionally, the process of authenticating (authorizing) the UE may be performed with reference to the following process:

[0337] The RAN first selects a (new) AMF for the UE. The RAN then sends a Registration Request to the selected new AMF. The new AMF then exchanges UE context information with the old AMF to obtain the UE context information. For example, the new AMF requests the UE context information from the old AMF via the Namf_communication_UE Context Transfer message. The old AMF then returns the UE context information to the new AMF via the Namf_communication_UE Context Transfer Response message.

[0338] Afterwards, the new AMF sends an Identity Request to the UE to initiate UE identity verification. After the UE sends an Identity Response message to the new AMF, the new AMF selects an Authentication Server Function (AUSF) network element for the UE. The AUSF then performs authentication and / or security verification on the UE.

[0339] Optionally, the new AMF then sends Namf communication registration status update information to the old AMF to update the UE context information to the old AMF.
