[0029] It should be noted that in this disclosure, expressions 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.

[0030] Wireless communication systems are widely used in our daily lives and production. The fifth-generation mobile communication system (5G) is used in smartphones, the Internet of Things, the Industrial Internet, and other fields. The large-scale application of 5G New Radio (NR) is accelerating the digital, networked, and intelligent transformation of the economy and society, propelling the network into a new era of the Internet of Everything. Furthermore, the rapidly emerging application demands in smart cities, smart transportation, and smart industrial production are driving the trend of differentiated network device capabilities, diversified network functions, and intelligent network management and control, further driving the arrival of the sixth-generation mobile communication system (6G), which connects everything. Typical 6G application scenarios, such as smart cities, smart transportation, and smart homes, involve a large number of intelligent automation devices with highly differentiated capabilities. These devices have increasingly stringent communication requirements for extremely low latency, extremely high reliability, ultra-large bandwidth, and massive access. Intelligent automation applications also place high demands on perception capabilities, such as high precision and high resolution. On the one hand, the surge in the number of wireless communication and sensing devices has exacerbated the contradiction between the endless growth of service demands and the limited wireless resources and computing power. On the other hand, realizing the 6G vision requires closed-loop information flow processing, encompassing the acquisition of environmental perception information, information interaction and sharing, intelligent information processing, and the layer-by-layer distribution of control information (including control information for communication networks and control instructions for application execution devices). This means that currently, it is difficult to meet the ever-increasing application needs.

[0031] Currently, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is widely applicable to wireless communication systems. A branch of computer science, AI technology features self-learning devices, components, and functional modules, exemplified by deep learning, reinforcement learning, and distributed learning. AI technology has had a profound and extensive impact in fields such as communication network optimization, intelligent perception, and control applications, significantly enhancing the potential for deep convergence in communication, perception, and computing.

[0032] Computing power plays a vital role in the field of AI technology. It can improve model accuracy and performance, accelerate data processing and analysis, optimize model configuration, and enhance model effectiveness and efficiency, thereby promoting the development and application of artificial intelligence technology. Computing power refers to the ability of computer equipment or computing models to process data and perform calculations. In application areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance computing, computing power is one of the key factors in achieving complex calculations and data processing. From the perspective of processing objects, computing power primarily processes data, including various forms of data such as text, audio, and video. From the perspective of the carrier terminal, computing power services are mainly implemented through terminals such as servers, personal computers (PCs), and mobile phones.

[0033] For training deep learning models, since training deep neural networks requires a large amount of computing resources to process large data sets and complex model structures, increasing computing power can speed up training, thereby improving model accuracy and performance. Regarding accelerating data processing and analysis, AI applications often need to process large data sets (including images, text, voice, etc.). Increasing computing power can accelerate data processing and analysis to extract useful features and patterns, thereby supporting higher-level AI tasks (such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition). For optimizing model configuration, increasing computing power can support optimized searches of model hyperparameters to find the optimal configuration. Furthermore, increasing computing power can also be used for model architecture searches and automated machine learning processes to improve model effectiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, increasing computing power can also improve model effectiveness and efficiency. For example, increasing computing power can enable the implementation of more complex models, such as large-scale language models and image generation models, which require a large amount of computing resources to train and generate high-quality results.

[0034] Therefore, how to allocate wireless resources, for example, how to reasonably allocate the computing power of terminals in an efficient terminal wireless resource allocation solution, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0035] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a configuration method, which includes sending configuration information, and the configuration information includes at least one of the following: information about a first capability; activation time configuration information corresponding to the first capability; information about a first function, where the first function is a function that needs to be activated by the second node; information about a second function, where the second function is a function that needs to be deactivated by the second node; first indication information, where the first indication information is used to instruct the second node to report the second capability; first trigger condition information, where the first trigger condition information is used to trigger the second node to report the second capability. In addition, the first capability can be understood as a capability that needs to be supported by the second node. In this way, the configuration information can be determined based on actual terminal requirements, service types, and wireless channel environments, so that adaptive wireless resource allocation can be performed based on actual application scenarios, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the terminal's computing power, thereby achieving efficient terminal wireless resource allocation, and improving the system's spectrum efficiency.

[0036] The method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to various communication systems. For example, the communication system can be a long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G communication system, a Wi-Fi system, a third generation partnership project (3GPP) related communication system, a future evolved communication system (such as: a sixth generation (6G) communication system, etc.), or a system integrating multiple systems, etc., without limitation.

For example, it may be an evolution nodeB (eNB), a next generation base station (gNB), a transmission receive point (TRP), a transmission point (TP), and some other access nodes. Depending on the size of the service coverage area provided, the base station can be divided into a macro base station for providing macro cells (Macro cell), a micro base station for providing micro cells (Pico cell), and a femto base station for providing femto cells (Femto cell). With the continuous evolution of wireless communication technology, future base stations may also adopt other names.

[0040] In some embodiments, during a communication process, a first node sends data to a second node, and the second node receives the data sent by the first node. Thus, the first node can be referred to as the sending end. Accordingly, the second node can be referred to as the receiving end. Alternatively, when a second node sends data to a first node, the first node can be referred to as the receiving end. Accordingly, the second node can be referred to as the sending end.

[0041] It should be noted that Figure 1 is only an exemplary framework diagram. The number of devices or nodes included in Figure 1 and the names of each device are not restricted. In addition to the functional nodes shown in Figure 1, the communication system may also include other nodes or devices (such as core network devices).

[0077] (4) First indication information

[0078] The first indication information is used to instruct the second node to report the second capability.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second capability may be used to indicate the capability of the second node. In some embodiments, the second capability information includes at least one of the following:

[0080] Information on the capabilities possessed by the second node itself; information on the capabilities supported by the second node itself; information on the capabilities configured for the second node; information on the minimum capabilities possessed by the second node itself; information on the minimum capabilities supported by the second node itself; information on the minimum capabilities configured for the second node; information on the maximum capabilities possessed by the second node itself; information on the maximum capabilities supported by the second node itself; information on the maximum capabilities configured for the second node.

[0081] (5) First trigger condition information

[0082] The first trigger condition information is used to trigger the second node to report the second capability. That is, under the condition that the first trigger condition is met, the second node can send the second capability to the first node.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first trigger condition information includes at least one of the following: the second capability is less than the first threshold; the second node cannot activate part or all of the first function; the second capability is less than the first capability; the second node does not support part or all of the first function; the capability information that the second node needs to support in order to activate the first function exceeds the capability limit of the second node; the difference between the capability information supported by the second node and the capability information that needs to be supported by the second node is less than the second threshold.

[0084] Exemplarily, the configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, information on the first function, and first trigger condition information.

[0085] The first information may be the minimum capability information N that the second node UE 1 needs to support. Min The maximum computing capability supported by UE 1, that is, the maximum number of computing units, can be expressed as N(UE 1) Max In addition, the first trigger condition information in this example includes N(UE 1) Max -N Min ≤Delta2 (second threshold). Delta2 may adopt a default configuration or be configured by the base station or by the UE 1 .

[0086] When N(UE 1) is satisfied Max -N MinWhen Delta ≤ Delta 2, UE 1 sends information about the capabilities supported by UE 1 (i.e., the second capabilities) to the first node. In an example, UE 1 may also send feedback information to the first node, such as the following first information, and the first information carries information about the capabilities supported by UE 1.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the first node sends configuration information to the second node, it may also receive feedback information sent by the second node regarding the configuration information. Exemplarily, the feedback information received by the first node may include the following first information, second information, third information, or other information.

[0088] In one implementation, as shown in FIG3 , the method may further include S1021:

[0089] S1021. Receive first information sent by a second node.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following: confirmation information of receiving the configuration information; and second indication information.

[0091] Exemplarily, the first information can be understood as feedback information regarding the above-mentioned configuration information sent by the second node to the first node. That is, after receiving the configuration information sent by the first node, if the second node determines that the current situation meets the triggering condition of the first information (i.e., the second triggering condition described below), it can send the first information to the first node, and accordingly, the first node receives the first information.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the second node does not support the first capability; the second node cannot provide the first capability; the second node cannot activate part or all of the first function; the second node does not support part or all of the first function.

[0093] It is understandable that the first information may be feedback information regarding the configuration information sent by the second node to the first node when the second node cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node (i.e., the first capability), to inform the first node that the second node's capabilities cannot meet the capability requirement. That is, when the second trigger condition is met, the second node determines that its own capabilities cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node, and thus, the second node sends the first information to the first node.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first information may further include a reason why the second node does not support the first capability.

[0095] In some embodiments, the trigger condition for sending the first information can be called the second trigger condition, and the second trigger condition includes at least one of the following: the second capability is less than the third threshold; the second capability is less than the first capability; the second node cannot activate part or all of the first function; the second node does not support part or all of the first function; the capability that the second node needs to support in order to activate the first function exceeds the capability limit of the second node.

[0096] The third threshold may be a reference threshold of the capability determined based on the first capability. When the second capability is less than the third threshold, the second node may determine that the second node's own capability (ie, the second capability) cannot meet the capability required to be supported by the second node.

[0097] In some embodiments, the second capability is less than the first capability, including at least one of the following: the computing capability supported by the second node is less than the computing capability required to be supported by the second node; the storage capability supported by the second node is less than the storage capability required to be supported by the second node.

[0098] In one example, the computing power supported by the second node is less than the computing power required to be supported by the second node, including one of the following: the number of computing units of the second node is less than the number of computing units required to be provided by the second node; the number of computing units of the second node is less than the sum of the number of computing units required to be provided by the second node and a first preset value.

[0099] In some embodiments, the number of computing units required to be provided by the second node is determined according to the minimum number of computing units required for various functions supported by the second node.

[0100] Example 1: The configuration information includes: information about the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (first capability), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information about the first function.

[0101] The information about the minimum capability that the second node UE 1 needs to support includes the minimum value of the number of operations that the second node needs to support, such as N Min The first function (ie, the function that needs to be activated by the second node) includes function A and function B.

[0102] In one case, N Min >N(UE 1) Max ,N(UE 1) Maxis the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is also an example of the second capability. At this time, the second capability is less than the first capability and the second trigger condition is met, indicating that the capability of the second node cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE 1 can send the first information to the first node. Moreover, the second capability is less than the first capability and the first trigger condition is also met, so UE 1 can also report the second capability (i.e., N(UE 1)) to the first node. Max ).

[0103] The first information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE 1 does not support the first capability (ie, N Min ); UE 1 cannot provide the first capability (ie N Min ); UE 1 cannot activate all or part of function A and function B; UE 1 does not support all or part of function A and function B. For example, UE 1 cannot enable function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0104] In another case, N Min +Delta1>N(UE 1) Max ,N(UE 1) Max N is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is an example of the second capability. Min The sum of the second capability and Delta1 can be the third threshold. At this time, the second capability is less than the third threshold, and the second trigger condition is met, indicating that the capability of the second node cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE 1 can send the first information to the first node. In addition, the above-mentioned first trigger condition is also met, so UE 1 can also report the second capability (that is, N(UE 1)) to the first node. Max ).

[0105] Likewise, the first information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE 1 does not support the first capability (ie, N Min ); UE 1 cannot provide the first capability (ie N Min ); UE 1 cannot activate all or part of function A and function B; UE 1 does not support all or part of function A and function B. For example, UE 1 cannot enable function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information. Delta 1 can use the default configuration or be configured by the first node or UE 1.

[0106] In another case, N Min >N(UE 1) Max , and the first information also includes the reason why the second node does not support the first capability. Exemplarily, UE 1 may send the first information to the first node. The first information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that UE 1 cannot enable function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information, and that the maximum computing capability of UE 1 is insufficient to support the computing capability required by function A and function B.

[0107] Example 2: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support for function A and information on the minimum capability that it needs to support for function B (first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information on function A and function B.

Min , and the minimum number of operations that the second node needs to support function B, such as N(B) Min The first function (ie, the function that needs to be activated by the second node) includes function A and function B.

[0109] In one case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min >N(UE 1) Max ,N(UE 1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is also an example of the second capability. In this case, the second capability is less than the first capability, and the second trigger condition is met, indicating that the capability of the second node cannot support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. In this case, UE 1 can send the first information to the first node. In addition, the above-mentioned first trigger condition is also met, so UE 1 can also report the second capability (that is, N(UE 1)) to the first node. Max ).

[0110] The first information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE 1 does not support the first capability (ie, N(A) Min and N(B) Min ); UE 1 cannot provide the first capability (ie, N(A) Min and N(B) Min); UE 1 cannot activate all or part of function A and function B; UE 1 does not support all or part of function A and function B. For example, UE 1 cannot enable function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0111] In another case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min >N(UE 1) Max , and the first information also includes the reason why the second node does not support the first capability. Exemplarily, UE 1 may send the first information to the first node. The first information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that UE 1 cannot enable function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information, and that the maximum computing capability of UE 1 is insufficient to support the computing capability required by function A and function B.

[0112] In another example, the storage capacity supported by the second node is less than the storage capacity required to be supported by the second node, including one of the following: the number of storage units of the second node is less than the number of storage units required to be provided by the second node; the number of storage units of the second node is less than the sum of the number of storage units required to be provided by the second node and a second preset value.

[0113] In some embodiments, the number of storage units required to be provided by the second node is determined according to the minimum number of storage units required for various functions supported by the second node.

[0114] In another implementation, as shown in FIG4 , the method may further include S1022:

That is, when the third trigger condition is met, the second node determines that its own capabilities are able to support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node, and thus the second node sends the second information to the first node.

[0119] In some embodiments, the trigger condition for sending the second information can be called the third trigger condition, and the third trigger condition includes at least one of the following: the second capability is greater than or equal to the third threshold; the second capability is greater than or equal to the first capability; the second node can activate the first function; the second node can support the first function; the capability that the second node needs to support in order to activate the first function is less than the capability limit of the second node.

[0120] The third threshold may be a reference threshold of the capability determined based on the first capability. When the second capability is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the second node may determine that the second node's own capability (ie, the second capability) can meet the capability that the second node needs to support.

[0121] In some embodiments, the second capability is greater than or equal to the first capability, including at least one of the following: the computing capability supported by the second node is greater than or equal to the computing capability required to be supported by the second node; the storage capability supported by the second node is greater than or equal to the storage capability required to be supported by the second node.

[0123] Example 3: The configuration information includes: information about the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (first capability), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information about the first function.

[0124] The information about the minimum capability that the second node UE 1 needs to support includes the minimum value of the number of operations that the second node needs to support (eg N Min ), the first function (i.e., the function that needs to be activated by the second node) includes function A and function B.

[0125] In one case, N Min ≤N(UE 1) Max ,N(UE 1)Max is the highest capability supported by the second node, which is an example of the second capability. In this case, the second capability is greater than or equal to the first capability, and the third trigger condition is satisfied, indicating that the second node's capability can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. In this case, UE 1 can send the second information to the first node.

For example, UE 1 is capable of enabling function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0127] In another case, N Min +Delta1≤N(UE 1) Max ,N(UE 1) Max N is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is an example of the second capability. Min The value of the sum of the second capability and Delta1 can be the third threshold. At this time, the second capability is greater than or equal to the third threshold, and the third trigger condition is met, indicating that the capability of the second node can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE 1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0128] Likewise, the second information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE 1 is capable of supporting the first capability (ie, N Min ); UE 1 can provide the first capability (ie N Min ); UE 1 is capable of activating all or part of Function A and Function B; UE 1 is capable of supporting all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE 1 is capable of enabling Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information. Delta 1 can use a default configuration or be configured by the first node or UE 1.

[0129] Example 4: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support for function A and information on the minimum capability that it needs to support for function B (first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information on function A and function B.

Min , and the minimum number of operations that the second node needs to support function B (e.g., N(B) Min ), the first function (i.e., the function that needs to be activated by the second node) includes function A and function B.

[0131] In one case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min ≤N(UE 1) Max ,N(UE 1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node, which is an example of the second capability. In this case, the second capability is greater than or equal to the first capability, and the third trigger condition is satisfied, indicating that the second node's capability can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. In this case, UE 1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0132] The second information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE 1 is capable of supporting the first capability (ie, N(A) Min and N(B) Min ); UE 1 can provide the first capability (ie N(A) Min and N(B) Min ); UE 1 is capable of activating all or part of function A and function B; UE 1 is capable of supporting all or part of function A and function B. For example, UE 1 is capable of enabling function A and function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0133] In another case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +Delta1≤N(UE 1) Max ,N(UE 1) Max N(A) is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is an example of the second capability. Min +N(B) Min The value of the sum of the second capability and Delta1 can be the third threshold. At this time, the second capability is greater than or equal to the third threshold, and the third trigger condition is met, indicating that the capability of the second node can support the capability indicated by the first node and required to be supported by the second node. At this time, UE 1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0134] Similarly, the second information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: UE 1 is capable of supporting the first capability (ie, N(A) Min and N(B) Min ); UE 1 can provide the first capability (ie N(A) Min and N(B) Min ); UE 1 is capable of activating all or part of Function A and Function B; UE 1 is capable of supporting all or part of Function A and Function B. For example, UE 1 is capable of enabling Function A and Function B within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information. Delta 1 can use a default configuration or be configured by the first node or UE 1.

[0135] Example 5: The configuration information includes: information about the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information about the first function. In addition, the third trigger condition includes that the second node can support part of the first function.

[0136] The first function (i.e., the function that needs to be activated by the second node) includes function A, function B, function C, and function D. The information about the minimum capability that the second node UE 1 needs to support includes: the minimum number of computing units required to support function A, for example, the value is N(A) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function B, for example, N(B) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function C, for example, N(C) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function D, for example, N(D) Min .

[0137] In one case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min +N(D) Min >N(UE 1) Max , and N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min ≤N(UE 1) Max . N(UE 1) Max is the highest capability supported by the second node itself, which is an example of the second capability. At this time, the second node can support part of the first function (that is, function A, function B and function C), and the third trigger condition is met. At this time, UE 1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0138] The second information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate that UE 1 can enable function A, function B and function C within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE 1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0139] In another case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min +N(D) Min >N(UE1) Max , and N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min +N(E) Min ≤N(UE1) Max . N(E) Min is the minimum number of computing units required for function E, and function E can implement all or part of function D. At this time, the second node can support part of the first function (i.e., function A, function B, and function C), and the third trigger condition is met. At this time, UE1 can send the second information to the first node.

[0140] The second information may include confirmation information of receiving the configuration information and third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate that UE 1 can enable function A, function B and function C within the time indicated by the "activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that UE1 needs to support" in the configuration information.

[0141] In one embodiment, function information of function E may also be sent to the first node. “Function information of function E” includes at least one of the following: the minimum number of computing units required to support function E, and the function implemented by function E.

[0142] In yet another implementation, as shown in FIG5 , the method may further include S1023:

[0143] S1023. Receive third information sent by the second node.

[0144] The third information includes at least one of the following: confirmation information of the configuration information; activation time configuration information corresponding to the capability information supported by the second node and required to be supported by the second node; information on the activated function updated by the second node; information on the deactivated function updated by the second node.

[0145] In some embodiments, the trigger condition for sending the third information can be called the fourth trigger condition, and the fourth trigger condition includes one of the following: the second capability is less than the first capability; within the activation time configured by the activation time configuration information corresponding to the first capability, the second node cannot provide the capability to meet the first capability.

[0146] Example 6: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, and information on the first function.

[0147] The first function (i.e., the function that needs to be activated by the second node) includes function A, function B, function C, and function D. The information about the minimum capability that the second node UE 1 needs to support includes: the minimum number of computing units required to support function A, for example, the value is N(A) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function B, for example, N(B) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function C, for example, N(C) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function D, for example, N(D) Min .

[0148] In one case, N(A) Min +N(B) Min +N(C) Min ≤N(UE 1) Max . N(UE 1) Max The highest capability supported by the second node itself is an example of the second capability. However, at this time, within the time indicated by "UE 1 needs to support the enabling time configuration information corresponding to the capability", other functions require a certain amount of computing power. For example, the number of computing units required for function E is at least N(E). Min , which results in the inability to simultaneously support function A, function B, function C, and function D within the time. That is, the fourth trigger condition is met.

[0149] Thus, UE 1 can send the third information to the first node. Exemplarily, UE 1 selects a new time for enabling function A, function B, function C, and function D, and then sends response information of the first configuration information (i.e., the third information) to the first node. Exemplarily, UE 1 selects a new time for enabling function A, function B, function C, and function D. Then UE 1 sends response information of the first configuration information (i.e., the third information) to the base station, confirming that UE 1 has successfully received the configuration information. The third information may include: confirmation information of the configuration information, and activation time configuration information corresponding to function A, function B, function C, and function D, or called enablement time configuration information.

[0150] Furthermore, after receiving the third information sent by UE 1, the first node can also feedback new configuration information to UE 1, and the new configuration information includes new capability information that needs to be supported by UE1 determined based on the activation time configuration information corresponding to function A, function B, function C and function D in the third information.

[0151] Example 7: The configuration information includes: information on the minimum capability that the second node needs to support (first information), activation time configuration information corresponding to the minimum capability that the second node needs to support, information on the first function, and the above-mentioned first trigger condition.

The information about the minimum capability that the second node UE 1 needs to support includes: the minimum number of computing units required to support function A, for example, the value is N(A) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function B, for example, N(B) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function C, for example, N(C) Min ; The minimum number of computing units required to support function D, for example, N(D) Min .

[0153] The first information is the minimum number of computing units that UE 1 needs to support, for example, N Min The second capability is the highest capability supported by the second node itself (for example, N(UE1) Max ). And the first trigger condition includes N(UE1) Max -N(A) Min -N(B) Min -N(C) Min -N(D) Min ≤Delta2 (ie, the second threshold). Delta2 may adopt a default configuration or be configured by the base station or by UE1.

[0154] UE 1 receives the configuration information and sends the Max -N(A) Min -N(B) Min -N(C) Min -N(D) Min When Delta ≤ Delta2, the first trigger condition is met. UE 1 may send capability information supported by itself to the first node. UE 1 may send third information to the first node, which includes: confirmation information of the configuration information, UE 1's own capability information, information about functions to be deactivated / disabled by UE 1, and information about functions that need to be deactivated / disabled by the receiving end.

[0155] For example, in N(UE1) Max -N(A) Min -N(B) Min -N(C) Min -N(D) Min ≤Delta2, and N(UE1) Max -N(A) Min -N(B) Min -N(C) Min ≥Delta2, the fourth trigger condition and the first trigger condition are met, and UE 1 may send third information to the first node, where the third information includes: confirmation information of the configuration information, UE 1's own capability information, and indication information of function D.

[0156] Based on the technical solutions provided by this disclosure, the configuration information sent by the first node can be determined based on the actual device needs, service type, and wireless channel environment. This allows for adaptive wireless resource allocation based on actual application scenarios, providing a reasonable wireless resource allocation solution. This can improve the efficiency of terminal computing power utilization, achieve efficient terminal wireless resource allocation, and enhance the spectrum efficiency of the wireless communication system.
