[0040] Traditional signal modulation / demodulation methods

[0041] Signal modulation is the process of converting the information bits generated by the signal source into a form suitable for transmission over a wireless channel, while signal demodulation is the inverse process of signal modulation. In NR and LTE systems, the main signal modulation methods used may include phase shift keying (PSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). Specifically, they are both modulation methods that jointly key the amplitude and phase. Because their vector diagrams are similar to constellations, constellations are often used to represent them. In wireless communication systems, signals are usually represented using complex numbers. As shown in the 16QAM constellation diagram in Figure 2, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the constellation diagram correspond to the size of the real and imaginary parts of the complex signal, respectively. During the communication process, both communicating parties need to reach a consensus on the modulation method. Currently, there are seven modulation / demodulation methods available for each channel in the physical layer. These seven modulation methods are π / 2 binary phase shift keying (BPSK), BPSK, quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM, and 1024QAM. Due to the varying constellation density, these modulation methods offer varying communication efficiency and resistance to noise and interference. For example, compared to 16QAM, 256QAM signals can carry more information, but their noise immunity is significantly reduced.

[0042] Signal modulation and demodulation based on artificial intelligence (AI)

[0043] In theory, maximizing the communication capacity of a wireless communication system requires maximizing the mutual information between the transmitted signal (X) and the received signal (Y) after passing through the wireless channel. Since Y = H*X+N (where H represents the wireless channel and N represents the noise), it can be deduced that to maximize communication capacity, the optimal modulation signal (X) must be calculated based on the channel (H) it passes through.

[0044] However, due to a trade-off between signal modulation freedom and control / indication signaling overhead, the available signal modulation methods are limited (i.e., the seven methods mentioned above). Although the optimal signal modulation method is theoretically determined by the channel environment in which the signal is transmitted, real-world channel conditions are ever-changing, and selecting only from a limited set of modulation methods may not achieve the optimal match for the channel environment, thus limiting communication performance.

[0045] With the development of AI technology, AI-based signal modulation methods are helping to address the aforementioned issues. AI-based signal modulation methods aim to enable AI models to generate modulation constellations based on specific channel information, enabling communication systems to determine the most appropriate signal modulation scheme based on the current actual channel environment, thereby improving communication efficiency. Unlike traditional modulation methods, AI models can flexibly generate the most suitable modulation constellation based on specific channel conditions, achieving truly customized signal modulation tailored to the channel. Furthermore, by leveraging the high flexibility and powerful fitting capabilities of AI technology, AI-based signal modulation methods can break through the limitations of the transmission layer and treat the multiple parallel transmission layers constructed by a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) system as a combined high-dimensional space, within which high-dimensional signal modulation can be performed. For example, as shown in Figure 3, AI can combine the N mutually non-interfering transmission layers constructed by a MIMO system into a 2N-dimensional modulation space (each layer provides two dimensions, and together they can be viewed as a 2N-dimensional space), within which high-dimensional signal modulation and demodulation can be performed.

[0046] Link Adaptation

[0047] Wireless communication channel conditions vary with the communication environment, resulting in significant uncertainty. Theoretically, no single signal modulation or precoding scheme is universally applicable to all channel conditions. Link adaptation technology, however, adaptively adjusts the system's transmission parameters based on currently acquired channel state information to overcome or adapt to the effects of current channel variations. The basic principles of link adaptation technology reveal that it primarily encompasses two aspects: the acquisition of channel information (often achieved through channel state information (CSI) feedback), effectively and efficiently determining the current channel environment parameters; and the adjustment of transmission parameters.

[0048] Switching of signal modulation / demodulation schemes

[0049] In NR and LTE systems, the difference between the above seven modulation modes lies only in the different constellation point densities under the same arrangement rules. Therefore, switching between the above seven modulation modes can be completed only based on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) / signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR) information of the channel (i.e., the channel quality indicator (CQI) in the CSI feedback). When the CQI is high, it indicates good channel quality, and the transmitter will select a high-order modulation mode; when the CQI is low, it indicates poor channel quality, and the transmitter will select a low-order modulation mode. Unlike the CQI, which represents the channel energy information in a coarse granularity, the precoding matrix indicator (PMI) represents the channel angle information in a finer granularity. Different precoding schemes at the transmitter have different requirements for PMI accuracy. When the transmitter can only obtain low-precision PMI (for example, through Type 1 codebook feedback), the system often adopts a relatively simple precoding scheme (such as single data stream / transport layer transmission). When the transmitter can obtain high-precision PMI (for example, through Type 2 or enhanced Type 2 codebook feedback), the system often adopts a more complex precoding scheme (such as multi-data stream / transport layer transmission) to improve information transmission efficiency.

[0050] According to the previous description, the advantage of the AI-based signal modulation / demodulation method is that it can flexibly generate the most appropriate modulation constellation diagram according to the specific channel conditions, that is, to achieve "customized" signal modulation that is truly adapted to the channel. In particular, when the AI ​​modulation method is applied to the joint high-dimensional modulation space constructed by multiple transmission layers, the performance ceiling it can provide will be further significantly improved. However, this also makes the AI-based signal modulation method have higher requirements for the accuracy and real-time performance of channel information, and has higher requirements for the hardware capabilities of the signal transmitter and receiver. Its robustness is not as good as the relatively rough traditional signal modulation method.

[0051] On the one hand, in actual communication systems, obtaining high-precision, real-time channel state information often comes at a cost. For example, for high-speed mobile terminals, the channel can change significantly every ten or even several milliseconds. To ensure the accuracy of feedback information, high-frequency feedback is required. Relying on "outdated" channel information for AI signal modulation will lead to a mismatch between the modulated signal and the actual transmitted signal, and may even fail to improve performance and even be counterproductive.

[0052] At the same time, AI-based high-dimensional signal modulation relies on constructing multiple mutually orthogonal, non-interfering equivalent channels through MIMO at both the transmitter and receiver to carry multiple data streams / transmission layers. Only when the transmitter can obtain high-precision PMI can the constructed data streams / transmission layers be guaranteed to be mutually orthogonal; otherwise, inter-stream interference will occur. Transmitting high-dimensional modulated signals in the presence of inter-stream interference makes errors more likely to occur at the demodulator, leading to an increase in the symbol error rate (SER).

[0053] On the other hand, higher-precision modulation methods also place higher demands on the hardware at the transmit and receive ends. For example, traditional modulation constellations generally present a regular rectangular shape (see Figure 2). While not optimal, this is easier for modulation and demodulation hardware to handle. Furthermore, the non-ideal characteristics of RF hardware can introduce additional noise and nonlinear distortion to the signal. As wireless communication frequency bands increase and the required bandwidth grows, the distortion caused by RF non-idealities is becoming increasingly significant. Common factors that negatively impact modulated signals include power amplifier (PA) nonlinear distortion, in-phase / quadrature (I / Q) imbalance, and phase noise. For example, the impact of phase noise on the 16QAM modulation constellation diagram can be seen in Figure 4. However, high-precision signal modulation is less resistant to this type of distortion.

[0054] In summary, AI-based signal modulation / demodulation methods are not always the best signal modulation / demodulation schemes. In some situations where AI-based signal modulation / demodulation methods are not suitable, traditional signal modulation / demodulation methods can be used. However, with the introduction of AI modulation methods, their dependence on channel information accuracy and real-time performance will be greatly increased. Therefore, switching between AI modulation and traditional modulation, and between different AI modulations, requires the introduction of more complex mechanisms. Therefore, how to select signal modulation or signal demodulation schemes to adapt to different situations is an issue that needs to be solved.

[0055] Based on this, the method for wireless communication provided by an embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with Figure 5. The method shown in Figure 5 is applicable to any terminal device and / or network device described above. For ease of understanding, the first device and the second device are used below to represent the devices to which this method is applicable. If the first device in the embodiment of the present application can be a terminal device, then the second device can be a network device. Alternatively, the first device in the embodiment of the present application can also be a network device, then the second device can be a terminal device. The method shown in Figure 5 can be applied to the uplink transmission process, that is, the signal sending end is a terminal device. The method shown in Figure 5 can also be applied to the downlink transmission process, that is, the signal sending end is a network device.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5, the method of an embodiment of the present application may include step S510. In step S510, if the usage conditions of the first scheme are met, the first device performs signal modulation or signal demodulation according to the first scheme. The first scheme is one of multiple schemes for signal modulation or signal demodulation, and the multiple schemes are respectively associated with multiple usage conditions. The usage conditions of different first schemes are different, that is, there may be a mapping relationship or an association relationship between the first scheme and the usage conditions. Exemplarily, the mapping relationship between the first scheme and the usage conditions may be a one-to-one mapping relationship, that is, one first scheme corresponds to one usage condition. Alternatively, the mapping relationship between the first scheme and the usage conditions may also be a one-to-many mapping relationship, that is, one first scheme corresponds to multiple usage conditions.

[0057] The first scheme may include one or more of the following: a signal modulation scheme based on a model, such as an AI-based signal modulation scheme; a signal modulation scheme based on a predefined modulation constellation diagram, which may refer to the modulation constellation diagram in the traditional signal modulation / demodulation method described above; a modulation constellation diagram generated based on a model, such as a modulation constellation diagram generated based on AI. Among them, the signal modulation scheme based on the model may include one or more of the following: a first signal modulation scheme based on a model, which may be used to modulate data on a single transmission layer, and the dimension of the first signal modulation scheme is two-dimensional; a second signal modulation scheme based on a model, which may be used to jointly modulate data streams on multiple transmission layers, and the dimension of the second signal modulation scheme is 2N, where N is the number of transmission layers. For ease of understanding, the second signal modulation scheme may also be referred to as a high-dimensional modulation scheme.

[0058] In the present application, if the usage conditions of the first scheme are met, the first device performs signal modulation or signal demodulation according to the first scheme among multiple schemes, which helps the first device select a suitable signal modulation / demodulation scheme to adapt to different usage conditions.

[0059] The following describes in detail the conditions for use of the first solution (hereinafter referred to as the "first conditions") in conjunction with Tables 1 to 8. For example, Arabic numerals may be used to identify the first solution in the following tables to distinguish different first solutions. Of course, the identification of the first solution may also be in other forms, and this application does not limit this.

[0060] The conditions for use of the first scheme may be associated with one or more of the following information (hereinafter referred to as "condition information"): the moving speed of the terminal device; channel measurement information; CSI feedback-related information; channel energy; channel quality; operating frequency band; operating bandwidth; phase noise-related information; type of power amplifier; and capability of the terminal device. It is worth noting that when the first device is a terminal device, the terminal device here refers to the first device. When the first device is a network device, the terminal device is a terminal device that communicates with the first device. The channel here may refer to an uplink channel or a downlink channel between the first device and the second device, and the operating frequency band / operating bandwidth here may refer to the operating frequency band / operating bandwidth of the first device and / or the second device. The phase noise here may refer to the phase noise of the radio frequency device of the first device and / or the second device, and the power amplifier here may refer to the power amplifier of the first device and / or the second device.

[0061] The use conditions of the first scheme can be linked to the terminal device's speed, which has a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation scheme. For example, when a terminal device is moving at high speed, the channel between the network device and the terminal device can change rapidly due to factors such as the Doppler effect. In this case, the modulation constellation generated by the AI-based signal modulation scheme based on specific channel information may "mismatch" with the actual channel required for transmission due to differences in channel variations, resulting in performance loss. Conversely, this problem does not occur in scenarios with slow movement. Therefore, different first schemes can be selected for signal modulation or demodulation based on the terminal device's speed. For example, as shown in Table 1, the first schemes can be mapped to the terminal device's speed ranges, and different first schemes can be used for different terminal device speed ranges. For low terminal device speed ranges, the AI-based signal modulation scheme can be used, while for low terminal device speed ranges, the traditional signal modulation scheme can be used. Furthermore, for AI-based signal modulation schemes, high-dimensional modulation schemes or two-dimensional modulation schemes can be selected based on the terminal device's speed range. For example, the terminal device's speed range can be divided into low speed range, medium speed range, and high speed range. In low-speed ranges, an AI-based high-dimensional modulation scheme can be selected; in medium-speed ranges, an AI-based two-dimensional modulation scheme can be selected; and in high-speed ranges, a traditional modulation scheme can be selected. Determining the first scheme based on the terminal device's mobile speed helps to avoid the impact of the terminal device's mobile speed on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0062] Table 1

[0063] The use conditions of the first scheme can be associated with the channel measurement information, and the accuracy of the channel measurement also has a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation scheme. For example, for an AI-based modulation scheme, when the channel measurement itself is inaccurate and the error is large, the effect of the modulation constellation inferred by this scheme based on the channel measurement information may be impaired. Therefore, different first schemes can be selected for signal modulation or signal demodulation according to the accuracy of the channel measurement. Furthermore, in a communication system, channel measurement can be completed through reference signals. For example, reference signals such as the channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) and the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sent by the network side can be used by the terminal device to measure the downlink channel, and reference signals such as the DMRS and the sounding reference signal (SRS) sent by the terminal device can be used by the network device to measure the uplink channel. Therefore, the accuracy of the channel measurement has a certain relationship with the configuration of the reference signal (such as time-frequency density, transmission period, coverage bandwidth, etc.). Therefore, the channel measurement information may include configuration information of a reference signal for channel measurement, and the configuration information of the reference signal for channel measurement may include a signal (or "pilot") configuration type or configuration set. For example, as shown in Table 2, the first solution may be mapped to the channel measurement pilot configuration type or pilot configuration set, and different channel measurement pilot configuration types or pilot configuration sets may correspond to different first solutions. Determining the first solution based on the accuracy of the channel measurement helps to avoid the impact of the accuracy of the channel measurement on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0064] Table 2

[0065] The conditions for using the first scheme can be linked to CSI feedback-related information. The accuracy of CSI feedback also has a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation scheme. For example, AI-based high-dimensional modulation schemes rely on constructing multiple mutually orthogonal, non-interfering equivalent channels through MIMO at both the transmitter and receiver to carry multiple parallel data streams / transmission layers. Only when the transmitter can obtain high-precision CSI can the constructed data streams / transmission layers be guaranteed to be mutually orthogonal; otherwise, inter-stream interference will occur. Transmitting high-dimensional modulated signals in the presence of inter-stream interference makes errors more likely to occur at the demodulator, resulting in an increase in the symbol error rate. Therefore, different first schemes can be selected for signal modulation or demodulation based on the accuracy of CSI feedback. Furthermore, the main factor determining CSI feedback accuracy is the communication system's CSI feedback-related configuration (such as feedback method and feedback period). For example, feedback based on the Type 1 codebook can ensure relatively low accuracy, feedback based on the enhanced Type 2 codebook can ensure high accuracy, and AI-based CSI feedback schemes can provide even higher accuracy. Therefore, CSI feedback-related information may include configuration information for CSI feedback, and the configuration information for CSI feedback may include information such as the CSI feedback mode (or method), feedback period, and the like. For example, as shown in Table 3, a first solution may be mapped to a CSI feedback method and / or a CSI feedback configuration set. Different CSI feedback methods and / or CSI feedback configuration sets may correspond to different first solutions. Determining the first solution based on the accuracy of the CSI feedback helps to prevent the impact of the CSI feedback accuracy on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0066] Table 3

[0067] The conditions for using the first scheme can be associated with channel energy, which also has a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation scheme. Therefore, different first schemes can be selected for signal modulation or demodulation based on different channel energies. The first schemes can be mapped to channel energy intervals, with different channel energy intervals corresponding to different first schemes. Determining the first scheme based on channel energy helps mitigate the impact of channel energy on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0068] The use conditions of the first scheme can be associated with the channel quality, and the channel quality also has a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation scheme. For example, under different channel qualities, the degree to which the modulated signal is affected by noise or interference is different. Therefore, different first schemes can be selected for signal modulation or signal demodulation according to different channel qualities. For example, as shown in Table 4, the first scheme can have a mapping relationship with the channel quality interval, and different channel quality intervals can correspond to different first schemes. Furthermore, indicators commonly used in communication systems to characterize channel quality may include reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), signal to interference noise ratio (SINR), signal to noise ratio (SNR), CQI, etc., so the channel quality interval can be determined based on indicators characterizing channel quality. Determining the first scheme based on channel quality helps to avoid the impact of channel quality on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0069] Table 4

[0070] The conditions for use of the first solution can be associated with the working frequency band / working bandwidth, and the working frequency band / working bandwidth also has a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation solution. For example, at different frequency bands or at different bandwidths, the degree of noise or distortion introduced to the signal by the RF hardware will be different. For example, for communication equipment operating in a high frequency band, the deviation between the crystal oscillators of the communicating parties will cause serious phase noise, thereby affecting the performance of modulation and demodulation. Therefore, different first solutions can be selected for signal modulation or signal demodulation according to the working frequency band / working bandwidth. For example, as shown in Table 5, the first solution can have a mapping relationship with the frequency band / bandwidth type or the frequency band / bandwidth type set, and different frequency band / bandwidth types or the frequency band / bandwidth type set can correspond to different first solutions. Determining the first solution based on the working frequency band / working bandwidth helps to avoid the influence of the working frequency band / working bandwidth on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0071] Table 5

[0072] The conditions for use of the first scheme can be associated with phase noise-related information, and phase noise also has a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation scheme. As shown in Figure 4, phase noise can have a significant negative impact on the modulated signal, especially for high frequency bands and even ultra-high frequency bands. Therefore, different first schemes can be selected for signal modulation or signal demodulation according to the different capabilities of the communication system to resist phase noise. Furthermore, the phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) can be used for phase noise measurement or compensation in the communication system. And the compensation effect of phase noise is closely related to the relevant configuration of PTRS, such as time-frequency density, transmission period, occupied bandwidth, etc. Therefore, the phase noise-related information may include the configuration information of the phase tracking reference signal. For example, as shown in Table 6, the first scheme can have a mapping relationship with the phase tracking pilot configuration set, and different phase tracking pilot configuration sets can correspond to different first schemes. Determining the first scheme based on phase noise helps to avoid the impact of phase noise on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0073] Table 6

[0074] The conditions for use of the first scheme may be associated with the type of power amplifier, and the power amplifier also has a certain influence on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation scheme. For example, different PAs (such as different models or types) have different operating characteristics (such as linear range), and thus the degree of nonlinear distortion introduced to the modulated signal is also different. Therefore, different first schemes may be selected for signal modulation or signal demodulation according to different models or types of power amplifiers. For example, as shown in Table 7, the first scheme may have a mapping relationship with the PA model / type or PA model / type set, and different PA models / types or PA model / type sets may correspond to different first schemes. Determining the first scheme based on the power amplifier helps to avoid the influence of the power amplifier on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0075] Table 7

[0076] The conditions for using the first solution can be linked to the capabilities of the terminal device, which also have a certain impact on the performance of the signal modulation / demodulation solution. Traditional modulation constellations generally present a regular square shape (see Figure 2). While not optimal, they are easier for modulation and demodulation hardware to handle. While AI-based modulation constellations offer greater flexibility, the density and distribution of their constellation points may be more complex, but they place higher demands on the hardware at the transceiver end. Therefore, different first solutions can be selected for signal modulation or demodulation based on the different capabilities of the terminal device. Furthermore, the capabilities of the terminal device can be determined by its capability information. The capability information of the terminal device can include the UE capability category. Terminal devices of different UE capability categories have different restrictions on the modulation accuracy and number of transmission layers they can support, which may have different impacts on AI-based two-dimensional modulation and even high-dimensional modulation. Therefore, as shown in Table 8, the first solution can be mapped to the UE capability category, and different UE capability categories can correspond to different first solutions. Determining the first solution based on the capabilities of the terminal device helps to avoid the impact of the terminal device's capabilities on signal modulation / demodulation.

[0077] Table 8

[0078] The usage conditions of the first solution may also be associated with a variety of information in the above information. For example, the usage conditions of the first solution may be associated with the mobile speed of the terminal device and CSI feedback-related information. For another example, the usage conditions of the first solution may also be associated with the operating frequency band / operating bandwidth and phase noise. By determining the usage conditions based on the above information, the impact of different working scenarios and usage conditions on signal modulation / demodulation can be taken into account, which helps to ensure that the most appropriate modulation / demodulation scheme is selected in different situations, thereby taking into account both communication efficiency and reliability.

[0079] In some implementations, the method shown in FIG5 may further include step S520. In step S520, the first device sends first information to the second device. The first information may be used to indicate the first scheme. That is, the first device may indicate the first scheme to the second device, thereby facilitating the second device to switch its signal modulation or demodulation scheme.

[0080] Furthermore, the first information may include one or more of the following: an identifier of the first scheme; the first scheme. The identifier of the first scheme may include an identifier of the first scheme itself or an identifier of the first model (a model used for signal modulation or signal demodulation). Alternatively, the identifier of the first scheme may also include an identifier of the association between the first scheme and the first condition. The first scheme may include a constellation modulation diagram or a first model, and the constellation modulation diagram may refer to the constellation modulation diagram corresponding to the traditional modulation method described above or the constellation modulation diagram corresponding to the first model. The first information may be sent through channels such as a broadcast channel, a radio resource control (RRC), a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

[0081] In some implementations, the method shown in FIG5 may further include step S500 before step S510. In step S500, the first device receives second information sent by the second device. The second information may be used by the first device to determine the first solution. That is, the second device may provide the second information to the first device to assist the first device in determining the first solution.

[0082] Furthermore, the second information may be used to indicate one or more of the following: information used to determine some or all of the usage conditions among multiple usage conditions (hereinafter referred to as "partial or all of the condition information"); the association between some or all of the usage conditions and some or all of the schemes among multiple schemes (hereinafter referred to as "partial or all of the association relationship"). Some or all of the condition information may include information that the first device cannot know, such as the moving speed of the second device, the capability level of the second device, the PA type of the second device, the configuration of the reference signal of the second device, etc. Some or all of the association relationships may include association relationships that are not defined by the protocol or that the first device cannot determine by itself. The second information may be sent through channels such as broadcast messages, RRC, MAC CE, PUCCH, PUSCH, PDCCH, PDSCH, etc.

[0083] In some implementations, the association between the first condition and the first solution may be predefined by the protocol and / or determined independently by the first device. For example, the association between the first condition and the first solution may be entirely predefined by the protocol. In another example, the association between the first condition and the first solution may be entirely determined independently by the first device. In another example, the association between the first condition and the first solution may be partially predefined by the protocol and partially determined independently by the first device.

[0084] In other implementations, the association between the first condition and the first solution may be provided by a second device. For example, the association between the first condition and the first solution may be provided entirely by the second device. In another example, the association between the first condition and the first solution may also be partially provided by the second device.
