[0036] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0037] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or", for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: only A, only B, and A and B. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. Words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.

[0038] It should be noted that in this disclosure, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described in this disclosure as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in some way.

[0039] Currently, the application of artificial intelligence and deep learning (DL) in wireless air interface-related fields has received widespread attention and attention in the industry. For example, channel state information feedback, beam management, and positioning based on artificial intelligence / deep learning. Taking beam management based on artificial intelligence algorithms as an example, the base station only needs to transmit reference signal resources in part of the beam space or part of the time, and use artificial intelligence algorithms to predict the full beam space information and optimal beam at all times, without having to scan all beams in the codebook, thereby reducing beam training overhead and terminal measurement power consumption. However, due to the generalization of artificial intelligence models and limited computing resources, the models trained on the terminal side usually only work in specific configurations, scenarios, sites, or environments. The base station cannot accurately indicate the model that is suitable for the current environment for operation.

[0040] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a communication method, comprising: a first node sending auxiliary information, the auxiliary information being used to assist a second node in identifying a first information processing method; receiving a monitoring result of a second information processing method sent by the second node, the second information processing method belonging to the first information processing method; and based on the monitoring result, sending a management instruction for the second information processing method to the second node. In this way, before performing an information processing operation, multiple candidate information processing methods (such as multiple candidate models) can be indicated in advance and feasibility testing of the information processing methods can be initiated, thereby determining an information processing method that is suitable for the current environment for operation, thereby improving the accuracy of information processing.

[0041] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to various mobile communication networks, for example, new radio (NR) mobile communication networks using fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G), future mobile communication networks (including but not limited to various sixth-generation mobile communication technologies, 6G), or multiple communication convergence systems, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0042] The network architecture of the mobile communication network (including but not limited to 3G, 4G, 5G and future mobile communication networks) in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include network-side devices (for example, including but not limited to base stations) and receiving-side devices (for example, including but not limited to terminals). And it should be understood that, in this example, in the downlink, the first communication node (also referred to as the first communication node device) may be a base station-side device, and the second communication node (also referred to as the second communication node device) may be a terminal-side device. Of course, in the uplink, the first communication node may also be a terminal-side device, and the second communication node may also be a base station-side device. In the device-to-device communication between the two communication nodes, the first communication node and the second communication node may both be base stations or terminals. The first communication node and the second communication node may be referred to as the first node and the second node, respectively.

[0043] Exemplarily, taking the network side device as a base station and the receiving side device as a terminal as an example, FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the communication system 10 includes multiple base stations (e.g., base station 201 and base station 202) and multiple terminals (e.g., terminal 301, terminal 302, terminal 303, and terminal 304). Multiple base stations and multiple terminals can be connected in communication. A base station can provide network services to a terminal in one cell, or it can provide network services to terminals in multiple cells at the same time.

[0044] In some embodiments, the base station can be a base station or an evolved base station (eNB or eNodeB) in long term evolution (LTE), long term evolution advanced (LTEA), a base station device in a 5G network, or a base station in a future communication system, etc. The base station may include various macro base stations, micro base stations, home base stations, wireless remotes, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), routers, wireless fidelity (WIFI) devices, or various network side devices such as primary cells and collaborative cells (secondary cells).

The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, a virtual reality (VR) terminal, an augmented reality (AR) terminal, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical care, a wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, a wireless terminal in a smart home, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the application scenarios.

[0046] In some embodiments, high-layer signaling includes, but is not limited to, radio resource control (RRC), media access control-control element (MAC CE), or other high-layer signaling above the physical layer. Physical layer signaling includes, but is not limited to, downlink control information and uplink control information. As an example, physical layer signaling can be transmitted between a base station and a terminal on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

[0047] In some embodiments, the indicator of a parameter may also be referred to as an index or an identifier (ID), and the indication, identifier, and index are equivalent concepts. For example, the resource identifier of a wireless system may also be referred to as a resource indication or a resource index. The resource identifier of a wireless system includes, but is not limited to, one of the following: reference signal resources, reference signal resource groups, reference signal resource configurations, channel state information (CSI) reports, CSI report sets, identifiers corresponding to terminals, base stations, panels, neural networks, sub-neural networks, neural network layers, and the like. The base station may indicate the identifier of one or a group of resources to the terminal through various high-layer signaling or physical layer signaling. The terminal may feedback the identifier of one or a group of resources to the base station through various high-layer signaling and / or physical layer signaling.

[0048] In some embodiments, a time slot may be a time slot or a mini slot. A time slot or a mini slot includes at least one symbol. A symbol refers to a time unit in a subframe, frame, or time slot, and may be, for example, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol, or an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbol.

[0049] In some embodiments, to calculate channel state information or perform channel estimation, mobility management, positioning, etc., a base station or user needs to send a reference signal (RS). Reference signals include, but are not limited to: channel-state information reference signal (CSI-RS), which includes zero-power CSI-RS (ZP CSI-RS) and non-zero-power CSI-RS (NZP CSI-RS); channel-state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) signal; sounding reference signal (SRS); synchronization signal block (SSB); physical broadcast channel (PBCH); synchronization signal block / physical broadcast channel (SSB / PBCH). NZP CSI-RS can be used to measure channel or interference, and CSI-RS can also be used for tracking, called tracking reference signal (TRS). CSI-IM is generally used to measure interference, and SRS is used to measure uplink channels. In addition, the resource element (RE) set included in the time-frequency resources used to transmit reference signals is called a reference signal resource, such as CSI-RS resource, SRS resource, CSI-IM resource, SSB resource. In this article, SSB includes synchronization signal blocks and / or physical broadcast channels.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to save signaling overhead, etc., multiple reference signal resources may be divided into multiple sets (such as CSI-RS resource set, CSI-IM resource set, SRS resource set), the reference signal resource set includes at least one reference signal resource, and multiple reference signal resource sets can all come from the same reference signal resource setting (such as CSI-RS resource setting, SRS resource setting, where CSI-RS resource setting may be merged with CSI-IM resource setting, both referred to as CSI-RS resource setting) to configure parameter information.

[0051] In some embodiments, beams include transmit beams, receive beams, receive beam and transmit beam pairs, and transmit beam and receive beam pairs. A beam index can be replaced with a resource index (e.g., a reference signal resource index), as beams can be bundled with certain time-frequency code resources for transmission. A beam can also be a transmission (transmit / receive) mode; such transmission modes may include spatial division multiplexing, frequency / time domain diversity, and beamforming. In some embodiments, a beam pair includes a combination of a transmit beam and a receive beam.

[0052] In some embodiments, a beam is equivalent to a beam state, a quasi-co-location (QCL) state, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a spatial relation, spatial relation information, a reference signal (RS), a reference signal resource, a spatial filter, and a precoding. In some embodiments, a transmit beam is equivalent to a QCL state, a TCI state, a spatial relation, a spatial relation state, an uplink / downlink reference signal (such as a CSI-RS, SSB, DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal), SRS, PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel)), a transmit spatial filter, and a transmit precoding. In some embodiments, a receive beam is equivalent to a QCL state, a TCI state, a spatial relation, a spatial relation state, spatial reception parameters, a spatial filter, a receive spatial filter, and a receive precoding. A spatial filter is also called a spatial domain filter and can be either on the base station side or on the UE side. In some embodiments, the base station may perform quasi co-location (QCL) configuration for two reference signals and inform the user end to describe the channel characteristic hypothesis. The parameters involved in the quasi co-location include at least: Doppler spread, Doppler shift, delay spread, average delay, average gain and spatial parameter (Spatial Rx parameter, or Spatial parameter); wherein the spatial parameter may include spatial reception parameter, angle information, spatial correlation of the receiving beam, average delay, correlation of time-frequency channel response (including phase information). The angle information may include at least one of the following: angle of arrival (AOA), angle of departure (AOD), zenith angle of departure (ZOD), and zenith angle of arrival (ZOA). The spatial domain filter may be at least one of the following: a DFT (discrete Fourier transform) vector, a precoding vector, a DFT matrix, a precoding matrix, or a vector formed by a linear combination of multiple DFTs, or a vector formed by a linear combination of multiple precoding vectors. In some embodiments, the concepts of vector and vector may be interchangeable.

[0053] In some examples, in order to better transmit data or signals, the base station or terminal needs to obtain measurement parameters. The measurement parameters may include channel state information or other parameters used to characterize the channel, wherein the channel state information may include at least one of the following: channel state information-reference signal resource indicator (CSI-RS resource indicator, CRI), synchronization signal block resource indicator (synchronization signal block resource indicator, SSBRI), layer 1 reference signal received power (L1 reference signal received power, L1-RSRP or RSRP), differential RSRP (Differential RSRP). Layer 1 reference signal signal to interference noise ratio (L1 signal to interference noise ratio, L1-SINR or SINR), differential L1-SINR (Differential L1-SINR), reference signal received quality (reference signal received quality, RSRQ), channel quality indicator (CQI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI), layer indicator (LI), rank indicator (RI), precoding information. Precoding information includes first-category precoding information, such as codebook-based precoding information. Here, the precoding matrix indicator is a type of codebook-based precoding information. Precoding information also includes non-codebook-based implementations, such as second-category precoding information, such as precoding information obtained using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence.

[0054] In some embodiments, the beam parameter information includes at least one of the following: the reference signal received power of layer 1 corresponding to at least one beam, the reference signal signal to interference and noise ratio of layer 1 corresponding to at least one beam, and the confidence level / probability corresponding to at least one beam (i.e., the probability that the beam has the maximum measured RSRP or the maximum measured SINR). In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is the reference signal received quality corresponding to at least one beam. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is the beam angle corresponding to at least one beam (e.g., at least one of AOA, ZOA, AOD, ZOD, etc., sometimes also referred to as horizontal angle of arrival, vertical angle of arrival, horizontal angle of departure, and vertical angle of departure, respectively). In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is the transmit beam index corresponding to at least one beam. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is the receive beam index corresponding to at least one beam. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is the transmit beam and receive beam pair index (referred to as beam pair index or beam pair) corresponding to at least one beam. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is the beam domain receive power map (BDRPM) corresponding to at least one beam. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is the channel state information reference signal resource indicator corresponding to at least one beam. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is a synchronization signal block resource indicator (SSBRI) or other reference signal resource indicator corresponding to at least one beam, such as SRSRI (sounding reference signal resource indicator). In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is a combination of at least two of the following beam parameter information corresponding to at least one beam: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, beam angle, transmit beam index, receive beam index, beam pair index, CRI, SSBRI, etc. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is a linear value of one of RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR. In some embodiments, the beam parameter information is a logarithmic value or decibel value (DB) of one of RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR.

[0055] In some embodiments, beam parameter information may also be referred to as beam quality information, or channel measurement results, or beam measurement results, or measurement results, or measurement parameters. In some embodiments, beam parameter information is a subset of channel state information, meaning that beam parameter information is channel state information, which in turn is a measurement parameter. In some embodiments, measurement parameters, channel state information, and beam parameter information are all measurement results, or processing results, or generation results.

[0056] In some embodiments, to transmit channel state information at the physical layer, the terminal and the base station define a CSI report (CSI report or CSI report config), where the CSI report defines at least one of the following parameters: time-frequency resources used for CSI feedback, report quality (report Quantity) included in the CSI, time domain category (report Config Type) for CSI feedback, channel measurement resources, interference measurement resources, measurement bandwidth size, etc. The CSI report can be transmitted on uplink transmission resources, where uplink transmission resources include PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) and PUCCH, and the CSI report also includes time domain characteristics, including periodic CSI report (P-CSI), aperiodic CSI report (AP-CSI), and semi-persistent CSI report (SP-CSI).

[0057] In some embodiments, the base station configures the terminal with NC CSI reports (CSI reports) that need to be fed back to the base station through high-layer signaling and / or physical layer signaling. Each CSI report has an identity (ID), called a CSI report ID. The terminal can select MC CSI reports from the NC CSI reports based on its own computing power or processing power and the requirements of the base station, and feed back at least one CSI report from the MC CSI reports based on the uplink feedback resources, where NC and MC are positive integers and MC<=NC. In one example, MC CSI reports need to be fed back, but the feedback resources of at least two of the MC reports are conflicting. The conflict of feedback resources of the two reports means that at least one symbol in the transmission resources (such as PUCCH or PUSCH) corresponding to the two reports is the same and / or at least one subcarrier is the same. In some embodiments, feeding back CSI can also be referred to as transmitting CSI or sending CSI, such as carrying channel state information on uplink transmission resources for feedback or transmission. The uplink transmission resources and the corresponding CSI are both indicated by a channel state information report. In some embodiments, feeding back or transmitting a CSI report refers to feeding back channel state information of the CSI report configuration. In some embodiments, feeding back or transmitting a CSI report refers to transmitting the content of the CSI report configuration that needs to be transmitted via a transmission resource.

[0058] In some embodiments, artificial intelligence (AI) includes self-learning devices, components, software, and modules such as machine learning (ML), deep learning, reinforcement learning, transfer learning, deep reinforcement learning, and meta-learning. In some embodiments, artificial intelligence is implemented through an artificial intelligence network (or neural network), which includes multiple layers, each layer including at least one node. In one example, the neural network includes an input layer, an output layer, and at least one hidden layer. Each layer of the neural network includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a fully connected layer, a dense layer, a convolutional layer, a transposed convolutional layer, a direct connection layer, an activation function, a normalization layer, and a pooling layer. In some embodiments, each layer of the neural network can include a sub-neural network, such as a residual network block (or Resnet block), a dense network (Densenet Block), a recurrent neural network (RNN), and the like. The artificial intelligence network can be implemented through a model, wherein the model can include a neural network model, wherein the neural network model includes a neural network model structure and / or neural network model parameters, wherein the neural network model structure can be referred to as the model structure, and the neural network model parameters can be referred to as the network parameters or model parameters. A model structure defines the network architecture, including the number of layers of the neural network, the size of each layer, the activation function, the connection status, the convolution kernel and the size of the convolution step, the convolution type (such as 1D convolution, 2D convolution, 3D convolution, hollow convolution, transposed convolution, separable convolution, grouped convolution, extended convolution, etc.), while the network parameters are the weights and / or biases of each layer of the neural network model and their values. A model structure can correspond to multiple sets of different neural network model parameter values ​​to adapt to different scenarios. The neural network model parameters are obtained through online training or offline training. For example, by inputting at least one sample and label, the neural network model is trained to obtain the neural network model parameters.

[0059] In some embodiments, a model refers to a general term used to describe a processing method, function, feature, or feature group that a terminal can perform. In some embodiments, a model is equivalent to a function (function / functionality), a functional module, a functional entity, a processing method, an information processing method, an implementation, a feature, a feature group, a configuration, a configuration combination, or a configuration set. In some embodiments, each model corresponds to a model indicator (model ID) or a functionality indicator or a model identity (model ID) or a functionality identity. In some embodiments, a model identity may also have one of the following other equivalent names or concepts: model index, first identifier, functionality identifier, model indicator, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments, a model refers to a data flow from the original input of a sample to the output target through multiple linear or nonlinear components. The model includes a neural network model, a non-artificial intelligence module for processing information or its corresponding model, and a functional component or function that maps input information to output information (the mapping here includes linear mapping and nonlinear mapping).

[0061] In some examples, a model includes a model structure and model parameters. For example, if the model is a neural network model, the neural network model includes a neural network model structure and neural network model parameters, which are used to describe the structure of the neural network and the parameter values ​​of the neural network, respectively. A neural network model structure can correspond to multiple neural network model parameters, that is, the neural network model structure can be the same, but the corresponding neural network model parameter values ​​can be different.

[0062] The method provided by the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a communication method, which is applied to a first node. The method includes the following steps:

[0064] S101. Send auxiliary information, where the auxiliary information is used to assist a second node in identifying a first information processing mode.

[0065] In some embodiments, the auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the first information processing method, a configuration identifier, data set information, a data set identifier, environmental information, an environmental identifier, scene information, a scene identifier, site information, a site identifier, a cell identifier, an identifier of the network implementation method adopted by the first node, code book information, and a code book identifier.

[0066] In some embodiments, the identifier of the first information processing method may include at least one of the following: an index of the first information processing method, a scene identifier corresponding to the first information processing method, a site identifier corresponding to the first information processing method, a data set identifier corresponding to the first information processing method, and a configuration identifier corresponding to the first information processing method.

[0067] In some embodiments, the assistance information is included in a broadcast message or dedicated signaling.

[0068] In one example, the auxiliary information is included in the broadcast message, that is, the first node broadcasts the auxiliary information to all second nodes in the cell (cell specific). The first node can broadcast the current first node's environmental information or the network implementation method adopted by the first node to all second nodes in the cell in an implicit manner, such as scene identification, site identification, data set identification and other auxiliary information, so that the second node can determine one or more information processing methods that may be suitable for the current cell in the trained information processing method or model based on the received auxiliary information.

[0069] In another example, the auxiliary information is included in proprietary signaling, that is, the first node indicates the auxiliary information to a specific terminal (UE specific). The first node can directly determine one or more information processing methods or models that may be applicable to the second node based on the relevant information about the information processing method sent by the second node, and indicate the identifiers of the determined one or more information processing methods to the second node. The first node can be a base station, and the second node can be a terminal.

[0070] In some embodiments, the identification of the information processing method includes at least one of the following: an index of the information processing method, a scene identification corresponding to the information processing method, a site identification corresponding to the information processing method, a data set identification corresponding to the information processing method, and a configuration identification corresponding to the information processing method.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first node may further receive information related to a third information processing method sent by the second node. The first information processing method belongs to the third information processing method.

[0072] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG3 , before sending the auxiliary information to the second node, the first node may first perform step S100 and receive relevant information of the third information processing mode sent by the second node.

[0073] The relevant information of the third information processing method includes at least one of the following: reference signal resource configuration, quantization configuration, channel state information reporting configuration, delay information of management operations related to the third information processing method, configuration identifier corresponding to the third information processing method, scenario identifier corresponding to the third information processing method, site identifier corresponding to the third information processing method, data set identifier corresponding to the third information processing method, data distribution information corresponding to the third information processing method (distribution information of input data / output data), and performance information corresponding to the third information processing method.

[0074] In some embodiments, the relevant information of the third information processing mode may include static relevant information of the third information processing mode, such as reference signal resource configuration, quantization configuration, channel state information reporting configuration, etc. The static relevant information may be reported to the base station based on the terminal capabilities. The relevant information of the third information processing mode may also include dynamic relevant information, such as the scenario identifier / information corresponding to the third information processing mode, the site identifier / information corresponding to the third information processing mode, and the dataset identifier / information corresponding to the third information processing mode.

[0075] It should be noted that different information processing methods may correspond to different input information, output information, required reference signal resource configuration, channel state information reporting configuration, applicable scenarios, etc. Therefore, before activating the information processing method on the second node side, the second node can send relevant information about the third information processing method to the first node. Accordingly, the first node receives relevant information about the third information processing method, i.e., step S100 above, thereby achieving consistency between the first node and the second node regarding the relevant information about the third information processing method, which can also be called a consistent understanding.

[0076] Thus, in one case, the first node can determine a suitable information processing method based on the relevant information of the third information processing method mentioned above. In another case, after receiving the relevant information of the third information processing method, the base station is still unable to determine a suitable information processing method. For example, the relevant information of the third information processing method sent by the second node cannot completely match the current configuration information of the first node, the network implementation method adopted, the scenario information, etc., so that the first node cannot accurately indicate / activate / select an information processing method. Thus, the first node can start monitoring one or more first information processing methods on the second node side, that is, send auxiliary information to the second node so that the second node monitors the first information processing method indicated by the auxiliary information, that is, perform an information processing method or model pre-operation process (such as model pre-activation, model pre-selection, model pre-switching, model pre-deactivation, model pre-update, etc.) based on the indication information of the first node. Accordingly, the first node can also perform management operations such as activation, switching or selection on the monitored information processing method.

[0077] S102: Receive a monitoring result of a second information processing mode sent by a second node, where the second information processing mode belongs to the first information processing mode.

[0078] In some embodiments, the monitoring results include at least one of the following: an identifier of the second information processing method, performance parameters of the second information processing method, configuration information, scene information corresponding to the second information processing method, site information corresponding to the second information processing method, and data set information corresponding to the second information processing method.

[0079] Exemplarily, the performance parameters of the second information processing method may include parameter (such as beam) prediction accuracy, prediction error for parameters (such as CSI, RSRP, SINR, etc.), system-level or link-level performance parameters, input / output data distribution of the second information processing method, and other parameters. The configuration information may be a recommended first node configuration or configuration identifier, such as reference signal resource configuration, quantization configuration, CSI reporting configuration, etc. The scenario information corresponding to the second information processing method, the site information corresponding to the second information processing method, and the data set information corresponding to the second information processing method may be corresponding scenario identifiers / information, site identifiers / information, and data set identifiers / information, etc.

[0080] It should be noted that upon receiving the auxiliary information sent by the first node, the second node can identify the first information processing mode based on the auxiliary information, monitor the first information processing mode, and obtain monitoring results of the first information processing mode. Furthermore, the second node determines a second information processing mode that has been monitored within the first information processing mode, and transmits the monitoring results of the second information processing mode to the first node.

[0081] In some embodiments, the monitoring result may be a result obtained by feasibility monitoring of an information processing method or model.

[0082] In some embodiments, the identifier of the second information processing method may include at least one of the following: an index of the second information processing method, a scene identifier corresponding to the second information processing method, a site identifier corresponding to the second information processing method, a data set identifier corresponding to the second information processing method, and a configuration identifier corresponding to the second information processing method.

[0083] In a possible implementation, after a preset time has elapsed, the first node may receive a monitoring result of the second information processing mode sent by the second node.

[0084] In some embodiments, before receiving the monitoring result of the second information processing manner sent by the second node, the first node may send indication information of the preset time to the second node.

[0085] For example, upon receiving the auxiliary information and a preset time from the first node, the second node may identify the first information processing mode based on the auxiliary information, monitor the first information processing mode, and determine the second information processing mode that has been monitored within the first information processing mode. When the preset time is reached, the second node may transmit the monitoring result of the second information processing mode to the first node, and the first node accordingly receives the monitoring result of the second information processing mode.

[0086] In another possible implementation manner, the monitoring result of the second information processing manner sent by the second node meets a preset condition.

[0087] That is, the second node may actively trigger reporting and send the monitoring result of the second information processing method that meets the preset conditions to the first node.

[0088] In some embodiments, before receiving the monitoring result of the second information processing manner sent by the second node, the first node may send indication information of a preset condition to the second node.

[0089] The preset condition is one or more settings of link-level performance, system-level performance, information processing accuracy, information processing error value, data distribution parameter, performance index, timer, and counter based on the second information processing mode.

[0090] For example, the first node may send thresholds related to performance indicators such as information processing accuracy, information processing error value, system-level performance, link-level performance, and data distribution parameters of the information processing method to the second node. The data distribution parameters may be distribution parameters of the input data and output data of the information processing method. Furthermore, the second node may perform multiple monitoring processes, or perform model inference, and compare the obtained results with the thresholds to determine a second information processing method that meets the preset conditions corresponding to the thresholds. If, for example, the information processing accuracy is greater than the threshold corresponding to the information processing accuracy, the information processing error value is less than the threshold corresponding to the information processing error value, the number of consecutive successful monitorings is greater than a preset number threshold, a performance indicator (such as system-level performance or information processing accuracy) is greater than a preset performance threshold or the number of monitoring times when the performance indicator is greater than the preset performance threshold is greater than the corresponding number threshold, or a performance indicator (such as information processing error value) is lower than the preset performance threshold or the number of monitoring times when the performance indicator is lower than the preset performance threshold is greater than the corresponding number threshold, the second node may actively trigger a report and send the monitoring results of the second information processing method that meets the preset conditions to the first node.

[0091] S103: Based on the monitoring result, send a management instruction of the second information processing mode to the second node.

[0092] In some embodiments, the management instruction is used to instruct to perform any one of the following operations on the second information processing mode: activation, deactivation, selection, update, and switching.

[0093] Exemplarily, based on the monitoring results sent by the second node, the first node can instruct the second node to activate, deactivate, select, update or switch to the second information processing mode, and configure corresponding reference signal resources, quantization, CSI reporting, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first node may send second indication information to the second node, where the second indication information is used to indicate a reference signal resource or beam or signal that cannot be used for transmission.

[0095] For example, the first node may include an additional bitmap when configuring a reference signal resource set. For example, a corresponding position in the bitmap indicates a 1, indicating that the corresponding beam can be transmitted, and a 0, indicating that the corresponding beam cannot be transmitted. Furthermore, the length of the bitmap is determined based on parameters such as the input data, characteristic parameters, number of beams, output data, characteristic parameters, and number of beams of the information processing method on the second node.

[0096] Correspondingly, for a beam that cannot be transmitted, the second node may obtain the corresponding beam measurement result through other methods such as an interpolation algorithm.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first node may further send third indication information to the second node.

[0098] The third indication information is used to indicate whether the beam / signal / transmission characteristics of the reference signal resource in the inference phase are consistent with the beam / signal / transmission characteristics in the training phase.

[0099] Exemplarily, when configuring a reference signal resource or a reference signal resource set, the first node may additionally indicate beam / signal / transmission description information, such as 1 bit, for each reference signal resource or reference signal resource set. If the beam description information is 1, it indicates that the beam characteristics corresponding to the reference signal resource (or reference signal resource set) are consistent with the beam characteristics used during the training phase. Otherwise, if the beam description information is 0, it indicates that the beam characteristics corresponding to the reference signal resource (or reference signal resource set) are inconsistent with the beam characteristics used during the training phase.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first node may further send fourth indication information to the second node.

[0101] The fourth indication information is used to indicate the degree of deviation or similarity between the beam / signal / transmission characteristics of the reference signal resource in the inference phase and the beam / signal / transmission characteristics in the training phase.

[0102] Exemplarily, when configuring a reference signal resource or a reference signal resource set, the first node may additionally indicate beam deviation information for each reference signal resource or reference signal resource set. This deviation information is used to describe the degree of deviation between a beam in a training phase and a corresponding beam in an inference phase, such as a beam angle difference, a beam width difference, etc. Alternatively, when configuring a reference signal resource or a reference signal resource set, the first node may additionally indicate beam similarity information for each reference signal resource or reference signal resource set. This similarity information is used to describe the degree of similarity between a beam in a training phase and a corresponding beam in an inference phase, or other relevant information.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first node may further send grouping information to the second node, where the grouping information is used to indicate a method for processing information belonging to the same group.

[0104] Exemplarily, the grouping information may include an identifier of the information processing mode belonging to the same group.

[0105] The management instruction is used to instruct to perform any of the following operations on the second information processing mode and each information processing mode in the same group as the second information processing mode: activation, deactivation, selection, update, and switching. In other words, each information processing mode in the same group can be managed simultaneously.

[0106] It should be understood that beam characteristics can simultaneously affect the performance of multiple second-node-side information processing modes. Therefore, if the beam characteristics of the reference signal resource during the inference phase are inconsistent with those during the training phase, the first node can manage multiple information processing modes simultaneously, eliminating the need to send management instructions for each individual information processing mode, thus reducing signaling overhead.

[0107] It should be noted that in the case of beam management based on artificial intelligence, the measurement results on the second node side and the input or output information of the information processing method can be obtained based on the beam characteristics on the first node side. Therefore, it is usually necessary to ensure the consistency of the beam in the training phase and the inference phase, including the consistency of the beam width, beam angle, etc. And the beam characteristics will affect the performance of multiple second-node side information processing methods at the same time. Therefore, when the beam characteristics of the reference signal resources in the inference phase are inconsistent with the beam characteristics in the training phase, the first node can manage multiple information processing methods at the same time without sending management instructions for each individual information processing method, saving signaling overhead and improving the flexibility of the information processing method management on the second node side.

[0108] Based on the technical solution provided by the present invention, the first node can instruct to start the feasibility monitoring of the information processing method of the second node before performing the management operation of the information processing method, and then perform management operations on the information processing method that has passed the test based on the monitoring results sent by the second node. In this way, the accuracy of the management of the information processing method can be improved, and the processing delay of the first node can be reduced.

[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , the communication method provided by the present disclosure may further include the following steps:

[0110] S201: Receive status information sent by a second node.

[0111] In some embodiments, the state information includes at least one of the following: an identifier of an old information processing method, first indication information, an identifier of a new information processing method, and time information.

[0112] The first indication information is used to indicate whether the status information includes an identifier for a new information processing mode. The time information is used to indicate the time required for the second node to deactivate the old information processing mode, or the time information is used to indicate the time required for the second node to activate or switch to the new information processing mode. The time information can be a frame, subframe, time slot, sub-time slot, or symbol.

[0113] Exemplarily, the old information processing mode refers to an information processing mode that needs to be deactivated or switched. The identifier of the old information processing mode may include at least one of the following: an index of the old information processing mode, a scenario identifier corresponding to the old information processing mode, a site identifier corresponding to the old information processing mode, a data set identifier corresponding to the old information processing mode, and a configuration identifier corresponding to the old information processing mode.

[0114] In addition, the new information processing mode is a new information processing mode that can be switched or activated. The identifier of the new information processing mode may also include at least one of the following: an index of the new information processing mode, a scenario identifier corresponding to the new information processing mode, a site identifier corresponding to the new information processing mode, a data set identifier corresponding to the new information processing mode, and a configuration identifier corresponding to the new information processing mode.

[0115] It should be noted that the configurations of reference signal resources, channel state information reporting, etc. corresponding to the information processing methods on different second node sides may be different, and how to configure resources or reporting can be instructed or controlled by the first node, that is, the first node can determine the activation, deactivation, switching or selection of the information processing method on the second node side. However, in some possible situations, the second node can more accurately predict or determine the working state of the information processing method on the second node side. For example, the performance of the information processing method is related to the operating load, computing resources on the second node side, and the operating trajectory, moving speed, surrounding environment and other factors on the second node side. When the second node is able to perceive the moving trajectory, moving speed, surrounding environment or the software or hardware environment of the second node itself, and thus can predict the working state of the information processing method, the second node can actively report the determined information, that is, the above-mentioned status information, to the first node to assist the first node in sending management instructions for the second information processing method to the second node, and activate, deactivate, select, update, and switch the second information processing method.

[0116] In one example, the second node may actively trigger a report and send status information to the first node.

[0117] In another example, the first node may send configuration information related to reporting status information to the second node, and the second node may send status information to the first node based on a reporting timing indicated by the configuration information.

[0118] S202: Send response information regarding the status information to the second node.

[0119] Exemplarily, the first node may determine and respond to the status information sent by the second node, that is, send response information to the second node regarding the status information. For example, the second node may monitor a resource set (CORESET) or search space (Search Space) that carries the control information of the base station response within a time window. When the second node receives the response information sent by the first node, the second node may actively perform operations such as switching or deactivating the information processing mode at the corresponding moment. Conversely, if the response information sent by the first node is not received, the second node will not actively perform operations such as switching or deactivating the information processing mode.

[0120] Based on the above embodiments, a pre-operation mechanism for reporting the information processing method of the second node is proposed. The first node can receive the second node's own environmental perception data and the status information of the determined information processing method sent by the second node to assist the first node in managing the working status of the information processing method, thereby reducing the information processing delay of the first node and improving the accuracy of managing the information processing method.

[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , the communication method provided by the present disclosure may further include the following steps:

[0122] S301. Send authorization information to a second node, where the authorization information is used to authorize the second node to perform a management operation of a fourth information processing mode.

[0123] In some embodiments, the management operation includes performing any of the following operations on the fourth information processing mode: activation, deactivation, selection, update, or switching. That is, the first node allows the second node to autonomously perform management operations such as activation, deactivation, selection, update, or switching on the fourth information processing mode.

[0124] In some embodiments, the fourth information processing method may be the above-mentioned information processing method through monitoring. The fourth information processing method may belong to the first information processing method.

[0125] In addition, the authorization information includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the fourth information processing method and an authorization time.

[0126] In some embodiments, the identifier of the fourth information processing method includes at least one of the following: an index of the fourth information processing method, a scene identifier corresponding to the fourth information processing method, a site identifier corresponding to the fourth information processing method, a data set identifier corresponding to the fourth information processing method, and a configuration identifier corresponding to the fourth information processing method.

[0127] In some embodiments, the authorization time refers to the time during which the first node authorizes the second node to manage the fourth information processing mode. That is, during this authorization time, the second node can autonomously perform management operations such as activation, deactivation, selection, update, and switching of the fourth information processing mode without sending a request to the first node or obtaining the first node's permission. Exemplarily, the authorization time can be expressed in units of frames, subframes, time slots, subslots, or symbols.

[0128] It should be noted that, generally, to ensure the controllability of the information processing method by the first node, the first node can perform management operations such as activation, deactivation, selection, update, and switching of the information processing method on the second node. That is, when a management operation is required on the information processing method on the second node, the second node can send a request for the management operation to the first node and, after receiving a response from the first node, can perform the management operation on the information processing method. However, this approach introduces unnecessary signaling overhead and processing delays.

[0129] S302: Receive feedback information sent by the second node, where the feedback information is used to indicate a management operation of the second node on the fourth information processing mode.

[0130] In some embodiments, the feedback information includes at least one of the following: the number of management operations performed, and an identifier of the fourth information processing mode corresponding to the management operation. For example, after the second node performs a management operation such as activation, deactivation, selection, update, or switching on the fourth information processing mode within the authorized time, the second node may send feedback information to the first node, such as the number of management operations such as activation, deactivation, selection, update, or switching on the fourth information processing mode, the identifier of the fourth information processing mode before the management operation, and the identifier of the fourth information processing mode after the management operation.

[0131] In some embodiments, the second node may not send the feedback information to the first node.

[0132] Based on the above embodiment, when a first node authorizes a second node, the second node can autonomously manage the information processing mode without having to request or receive a response from the first node. This reduces signaling overhead and processing latency. Furthermore, in some cases, the second node can more accurately monitor the status of its own information processing mode, such as the operating environment. Therefore, this method can also improve the accuracy of information processing mode management.

[0133] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , the present disclosure further provides another communication method, which is applied to the second node and includes the following steps:

[0134] S401: Receive auxiliary information, where the auxiliary information is used to assist a second node in identifying a first information processing mode.

[0135] In some embodiments, the auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the first information processing method, a configuration identifier, data set information, a data set identifier, environmental information, an environmental identifier, scene information, a scene identifier, site information, a site identifier, a cell identifier, an identifier of the network implementation method adopted by the first node, code book information, and a code book identifier.

[0136] In some embodiments, the assistance information is included in a broadcast message or dedicated signaling.

[0137] S402: Based on the auxiliary information, monitor the performance of the first information processing method to obtain a monitoring result of the second information processing method, where the second information processing method belongs to the first information processing method.

[0138] S403: Send the monitoring result to the first node.

[0139] In some embodiments, the second node may send the monitoring result to the first node after a feedback time configured by the first node.

[0140] In some embodiments, the monitoring results include at least one of the following: an identifier of the second information processing method, performance parameters of the second information processing method, configuration information, scene information corresponding to the second information processing method, site information corresponding to the second information processing method, and data set information corresponding to the second information processing method.

[0141] In some embodiments, when the monitoring result meets a preset condition, the monitoring result is sent to the first node.

[0142] Exemplarily, the second node may receive information indicating a preset condition sent by the first node, where the preset condition is set based on one or more of link-level performance, system-level performance, information processing accuracy, information processing error value, data distribution parameter, performance index, timer, and counter of the second information processing mode.

[0143] In some embodiments, the second node may further send information related to the third information processing mode to the first node. The first information processing mode belongs to the third information processing mode.

[0144] The relevant information of the third information processing method includes at least one of the following: reference signal resource configuration, quantization configuration, channel state information reporting configuration, delay information of management operations related to the third information processing method, configuration identifier corresponding to the third information processing method, scene identifier / information corresponding to the third information processing method, site identifier / information corresponding to the third information processing method, data set identifier / information corresponding to the third information processing method, data distribution information corresponding to the third information processing method, and performance information corresponding to the third information processing method.

[0145] S404: Receive a management instruction for the second information processing mode.

[0146] In some embodiments, the management instruction is used to instruct to perform any one of the following operations on the second information processing mode: activation, deactivation, selection, update, and switching.

[0147] In one possible implementation, the second node can send status information to the first node, and the status information includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the old information processing method, first indication information, an identifier of the new information processing method, and time information; wherein the first indication information is used to indicate whether the status information contains an identifier of the new information processing method; the time information is used to represent the time required for the second node to deactivate the old information processing method, or the time information is used to represent the time required for the second node to activate or switch to the new information processing method.

[0148] Furthermore, the first node may receive response information regarding the state information, and based on the response information, deactivate the old information processing mode and / or activate the new information processing mode.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first node may also receive authorization information sent by the first node, where the authorization information is used to authorize the second node to perform management operations on the fourth information processing mode. The management operations include any of the following operations on the fourth information processing mode: activation, deactivation, selection, update, and switching. The authorization information includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the fourth information processing mode and an authorization time.

[0150] In some embodiments, the identification of the above-mentioned information processing method includes at least one of the following: an index of the information processing method, a scene identification corresponding to the information processing method, a site identification corresponding to the information processing method, a data set identification corresponding to the information processing method, and a configuration identification corresponding to the information processing method.

[0151] In some embodiments, the second node may perform management operations on the fourth information processing mode within the authorized time.

[0152] In some embodiments, the second node may further send feedback information to the first node, where the feedback information is used to indicate the second node's management operation on the fourth information processing mode. The feedback information includes at least one of the following: the number of management operations and an identifier of the fourth information processing mode corresponding to the management operation.

[0153] In some embodiments, the second node may also receive second indication information sent by the first node, where the second indication information is used to indicate a reference signal resource or beam or signal that cannot be used for transmission.

[0154] In some embodiments, the second node may also receive third indication information sent by the first node, where the third indication information is used to indicate whether the beam / signal / transmission characteristics of the reference signal resource in the inference phase are consistent with the beam / signal / transmission characteristics in the training phase.

[0155] In some embodiments, the second node may also receive fourth indication information sent by the first node, where the fourth indication information is used to indicate the degree of deviation or similarity between the beam / signal / transmission characteristics of the reference signal resource in the inference phase and the beam / signal / transmission characteristics in the training phase.

[0156] In some embodiments, the second node may also receive grouping information sent by the first node, where the grouping information is used to indicate a method for processing information belonging to the same group.

[0157] Furthermore, the second node may receive a management instruction for any processing mode in the same group sent by the first node, and perform a management operation on each processing mode in the same group in response to the management instruction.

[0158] For a detailed description of steps S401-S404, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions in the embodiments shown in FIG. 2-FIG . 5, which will not be repeated here.
