[0087] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of a communication management method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the present disclosure embodiment relates to a communication management method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0088] Step 2101: Terminal 101 sends first information to network device 102.

[0089] In some embodiments, network device 102 receives first information.

[0090] In some embodiments, one or more terminals 101 send first information to the network device 102 . The present disclosure does not limit the corresponding relationship between the terminal 101 and the network device 102 .

[0091] In some embodiments, the first information is used to request or instruct to shut down the artificial intelligence (AI) function or AI model running on the terminal 101 .

[0092] In some embodiments, management based on AI functions and management based on AI models can be two parallel AI operation management methods.

[0093] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "close indication information", "close request information", etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may be a core network device, such as a management entity located in a location management function (LMF) network element, a management entity located in an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0095] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may be an access network device, such as a base station, etc., which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0096] For example, the network device 102 is an access network device. The terminal may send first information to the base station to request to disable the AI-based beam management function of the terminal, or request to disable the AI-based channel state information enhancement (CSI) function of the terminal.

[0097] For example, the network device 102 is a core network device. The terminal may send a first message to the LMF to request to disable the AI-based positioning function of the terminal.

[0098] Step 2102 : Terminal 101 sends second information to network device 102 .

[0099] In some embodiments, network device 102 receives second information.

[0100] In some embodiments, one or more terminals 101 send the second information to the network device 102 . The present disclosure does not limit the corresponding relationship between the terminal 101 and the network device 102 .

[0101] In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate the reason why the terminal requests to shut down the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0102] In some embodiments, the name of the second information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "request reason information", "closing reason information", etc.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second information includes at least one of the following: the performance of the AI ​​function or AI model does not meet requirements; the terminal's local computing resources are limited; the terminal's local power is limited; the terminal is overheating; or the terminal determines the first event. In other words, the second information may include only one of the above reasons, or may include multiple of the above reasons. This disclosure does not limit the number of reasons included in the second information.

[0104] In some embodiments, there is no limitation on the requirements that the performance of the AI ​​function or AI model does not meet, such as the performance of the AI ​​function or AI model does not meet the accuracy requirements, or does not meet the stability requirements.

[0105] In some embodiments, there is no limitation on the form of local computing resource restriction of the terminal, for example, the local resources of the terminal are insufficient to support the running of AI functions or AI models, or the local computing resources of the terminal are occupied by other services or functions.

[0106] In some embodiments, there is no limitation on how the local power of the terminal is limited. For example, the power allocated to the AI ​​function or AI model is limited due to terminal system settings, or the local power of the terminal is rapidly consumed due to environmental factors.

[0107] In some embodiments, the method for determining terminal overheating is not limited. For example, the terminal determines terminal overheating through a temperature sensor, or determines terminal overheating by determining whether the terminal operating speed slows down.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first event is used to indicate shutting down an AI function or an AI model.

[0109] In some embodiments, there is no limitation on the manner in which the terminal determines the first event. For example, the terminal may determine the first event according to user instructions, or the terminal may determine the first event by evaluating multiple dimensions such as local computing resources and performance to determine that the current state of the terminal is more suitable for traditional processing methods.

[0110] For example, the wireless channel used by the terminal to perform the AI ​​function changes, and the changed channel causes the accuracy of the AI ​​function to decrease, which does not meet the preset accuracy requirements. At this time, the terminal can send a second message to the network device, which includes that the performance of the AI ​​function or AI model does not meet the requirements, so as to indicate to the network device the reason why the terminal requests to shut down the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0111] Step 2103: The network device 102 performs a second operation based on the second information.

[0112] In some embodiments, the second operation includes at least one of the following: sending the first command; disabling the AI ​​function of the network device or associated operations of the AI ​​model after a preset time period; or sending third information. In other words, when the network device 102 performs the second operation, it may only perform one of the above operations, or it may perform multiple of the above operations, and this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first command is used to confirm shutting down the AI ​​function or AI model. Optionally, the first command is also used to instruct the terminal to shut down the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0114] In some embodiments, the third information is used to notify the terminal that the AI ​​function or AI model is closed.

[0115] In some embodiments, the network device 102 can send third information to a management entity located in the core network, such as a management entity located in Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM), a management entity located in the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), and a management entity located in AMF.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second information is associated with the second operation. In other words, the second operation performed by the network device 102 may be the same or different depending on the content of the second information. For example, when the second information received by the network device 102 includes that the local computing resources of the terminal are limited, or when the second information received by the network device 102 includes that the local power of the terminal is limited, the network device 102 turns off its own AI function or the associated operation of the AI ​​model after a preset time; when the second information received by the network device 102 includes that the performance of the AI ​​function or AI model does not meet the requirements, the network device 102 executes and sends the first command.

[0117] In some embodiments, the manner in which the network device 102 obtains the association relationship between the second information and the second operation is not limited. For example, it is obtained through preconfiguration or through a higher layer.

[0118] For example, when the second information received by the network device 102 is that the performance of the AI ​​function or AI model does not meet the requirements, the second operation performed by the network device 102 is to send a first command to send a confirmation shutdown command to the terminal 101.

[0119] For example, when the second information received by the network device 102 is that the local computing resources of the terminal are limited and / or the local power of the terminal is limited, the network device 102 defaults to that the terminal 101 no longer supports operations based on the AI ​​function or AI model after a preset period of time. At this time, the second operation performed by the network device 102 is to turn off the associated operations of the network device's AI function or AI model after the preset period of time, for example, the network device 102 no longer processes feedback on the AI ​​function or AI model, or the network device 102 turns off the associated model of its own AI function or AI model.

[0120] For example, when the second information received by the network device 102 is that the local computing resources of the terminal are limited and / or the local power of the terminal is limited, the second operation performed by the network device 102 is to send third information, for example, the network device 102 sends the third information to the core network to notify the core network node to turn off the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0121] Step 2104: Terminal 101 performs the first operation based on the second information.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first operation includes at least one of the following: initiating detection for the first command; and automatically disabling the AI ​​function or AI model after a preset duration. In other words, when executing the first operation, terminal 101 may perform only one of the above operations, or may perform multiple of the above operations, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first command is used to confirm shutting down the AI ​​function or AI model, or the first command is used to instruct the terminal to shut down the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0124] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 starts detecting the first command. When the terminal 101 detects the first command, the closing operation is performed, otherwise the closing operation is not performed.

[0125] In some embodiments, the second information is associated with the first operation. In other words, the content of the second information is different, and the first operation performed by the terminal 101 may be the same or different. For example, when the second information sent by the terminal 101 includes that the performance of the AI ​​function or AI model does not meet the requirements, the terminal 101 initiates detection of the first command; when the second information sent by the terminal 101 includes that the local computing resources of the terminal are limited, or when the second information sent by the terminal 101 includes that the local power of the terminal is limited, the terminal 101 automatically shuts down the AI ​​function or AI model after a preset time.

[0126] In some embodiments, the manner in which the terminal 101 obtains the association relationship between the second information and the first operation is not limited, and it may be obtained, for example, through preconfiguration or through a high layer.

[0127] Step 2105 : The network device 102 sends a first command to the terminal 101 .

[0128] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives a first command.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first command is used to confirm shutting down the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0130] In some embodiments, step 2105 is optional. When the second operation performed by network device 102 includes sending a first command, and the first command is used to confirm the deactivation of the AI ​​function or AI model, step 2105 may not be performed. When the second operation performed by network device 102 does not include sending a first command, or the first command is used to instruct the terminal to deactivate the AI ​​function or AI model, step 2105 may be performed to enable terminal 101 to confirm the deactivation of the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0131] In some embodiments, terms such as "send", "transmit", "report", "download", "transmit", "bidirectional transmission", "send and / or receive" can be used interchangeably.

[0132] In some embodiments, terms such as "certain", "preset", "preset", "setting", "indicated", "a certain", "any", and "first" can be interchangeable. "Specific A", "preset A", "preset A", "setting A", "indicated A", "a certain A", "any A", and "first A" can be interpreted as A pre-specified in a protocol, etc., or as A obtained through setting, configuration, or indication, etc., or as specific A, a certain A, any A, or first A, etc., but not limited to this.

[0133] In some embodiments, the determination or judgment can be performed by a value represented by 1 bit (0 or 1), or by a true or false value (Boolean value) represented by true or false, or by comparison of numerical values ​​(for example, comparison with a predetermined value), but is not limited thereto.

[0134] The above steps 2102-2105 may be optional steps, that is, one step or multiple steps may be performed, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0135] The communication control method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps 2101 to 2106.

[0273] Optionally, in some embodiments, in response to the terminal needing to request the network device to shut down the AI ​​function or AI model on the terminal side, the terminal sends a first message to the base station, and the first message is used to send a request to the base station or LMF to shut down the AI ​​function or AI model running on the terminal.

[0274] For example, when the management entity of the AI ​​function or AI model is on the base station side, the terminal sends the first information to the base station. When the management entity of the AI ​​function or AI model is in the LMF, the terminal sends the first information to the LMF.

[0275] For example, for AI-based beam management or CSI-enhanced AI function, the terminal sends first information to the base station; for AI-based positioning AI function, the terminal sends first information to the LMF.

[0276] Step 2: The terminal sends the second information to the network device.

[0277] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second information includes a reason why the terminal requests to disable the AI ​​function or AI model, and the reason includes at least one of the following:

[0278] 1) Due to AI functionality, the AI ​​model performance does not meet the requirements;

[0279] 2) The local computing resources of the terminal are limited;

[0280] 3) The local power of the terminal is limited;

[0281] 4) Terminal overheating;

[0282] 5) User’s choice.

[0283] Step 3: The network device sends a command to the terminal to confirm shutting down the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0284] Optionally, in some embodiments, after the network device receives the first information, the network device sends a command to the terminal to confirm shutting down the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0285] Optionally, in some embodiments, after the terminal sends the first information, the terminal turns off the AI ​​function or AI model by default after a preset time period. In this case, after the preset time period, the network device defaults to the terminal not supporting the operation of the AI ​​function or AI model.

[0286] Step 4: The terminal performs subsequent operations based on the second information.

[0287] Optionally, in some embodiments, after sending the second information, the terminal performs subsequent operations based on the second information, and the subsequent operations performed are different depending on the content of the second information.

[0288] Optionally, in some embodiments, the subsequent operation performed by the terminal includes at least one of the following:

[0289] Terminal Operation 1: Whether to receive a reply from the network device confirming the shutdown request for the AI ​​function or AI model. For example, if the terminal requests shutdown due to performance degradation, the terminal begins to prepare to receive the shutdown confirmation command from the network device.

[0290] Terminal Operation 2: Whether the terminal automatically turns off the AI ​​function or AI model after a preset period of time.

[0291] Step 5: The network device performs subsequent operations based on the second information.

[0292] Optionally, in some embodiments, after the network device receives the second information, the network device performs subsequent operations based on the second information, and the subsequent operations performed are different depending on the content of the second information.

[0293] Optionally, in some embodiments, the subsequent operation performed by the network device includes at least one of the following:

[0294] Network Operation 1: Whether the network device responds to the terminal's request to confirm the shutdown of the AI ​​function or AI model. For example, if the terminal requests shutdown due to performance degradation, the network device needs to respond with a confirmation shutdown command. If the terminal requests shutdown due to limited local computing resources, the network device does not respond. Instead, it assumes that the terminal will no longer support basic AI function or AI model operations after a preset period of time.

[0295] Network Operation 2: Whether the network device no longer supports AI functions or AI models after the preset time, and at the same time shuts down the associated operations of the AI ​​functions or AI models on the network side. For example, the network side no longer processes the feedback from the AI ​​functions or AI models. Or shuts down the model associated with the AI ​​functions or AI models on the network side.

[0296] Network Operation 3: Whether to further send relevant information to other network entities. For example, if the terminal initiates shutdown due to performance impact, the base station does not send information about the terminal shutting down the AI ​​function or AI model to other network entities. If the terminal shuts down the AI ​​function or AI model due to insufficient local processing power, the base station sends a third message to the core network. The third message is used to notify the core network node that the terminal shuts down the AI ​​function or AI model.
