[0051] Before describing the embodiments of the present application, the following briefly introduces the relevant technologies:

[0052] 1. AI / ML Architecture and Data Collection

[0053] Figure 2 shows the AI / ML architecture of the Air Interface AI project research in Release 18 (R18) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). As shown in Figure 2, the AI / ML architecture includes the following modules:

[0054] Data Collection Module: Responsible for providing input data to the model training module, management module, and inference module; for example, providing training data to the model training module, monitoring data to the management module, and inference data to the inference module.

[0055] Model Training: This module is responsible for training, validating, and testing AI / ML models. It also prepares data, including preprocessing and converting it into a specific format.

[0056] Management module: responsible for model selection, activation, deactivation, switching (Model Transfer), delivery (Model Delivery) and rollback;

[0057] Inference module: responsible for obtaining the corresponding model output (Inference Output) after applying the model input to the AI / ML model or AI / ML function;

[0058] Model Storage module: responsible for saving the trained model or the updated model (Trained / Updated Model).

[0059] For data collection for model training, there may be the following options:

[0060] Solution 1: Data collection on the gNB side. This solution is based on Layer 3 signaling. In this solution, the gNB configures the terminal to collect data, and the terminal sends the collected data to the gNB.

[0061] Solution 2: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) data collection. This solution is based on Minimization of Drive-Test (MDT). In this solution, OAM configures terminals to collect data through the gNB. The collected data is first sent to the base station, which then sends it to OAM.

[0062] Solution 3: Data collection on the Location Management Function (LMF) side. This solution is based on the LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP) / NR Positioning Protocol A (NRPPa). In this solution, the LMF configures the terminal and base station to collect data. The terminal first sends the collected data to the base station, which sends the data to the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), which then sends the data to the LMF.

[0063] 2. Minimized Drive Test (MDT)

[0064] In order to ensure network quality, operators need to use drive test technology to test network quality. The traditional drive test method is for operators to dispatch special personnel and use special instruments to test the signal quality of each location in the actual network to check network coverage issues. However, this method not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also because drive test personnel generally cannot easily enter all locations to test network signal quality, the actual effect of this method may not be very good. To solve this problem, 3GPP proposed MDT technology. The feature of this technical solution is that it directly uses user equipment (UE) in the network to measure and report network coverage. The advantage of this technical solution is that it can directly use users to test network coverage, avoiding a large amount of manpower and material expenditure for operators. At the same time, it can cover any location that users can actually reach in the network, which is more effective than the coverage of traditional drive test methods.

[0065] MDT technology offers advantages such as low overhead and a short optimization cycle, significantly reducing network optimization and maintenance costs for mobile communications operators and improving network optimization efficiency. Furthermore, MDT can collect network information in locations beyond the reach of traditional drive testing, such as indoor locations and on narrow roads. Therefore, MDT technology provides stronger support for evaluating network performance and improving network quality, ultimately delivering higher user satisfaction.

[0066] From the perspective of MDT measurement methods, MDT can be divided into immediate MDT (Immediate MDT) and recorded MDT (Logged MDT).

[0067] Immediate MDT is characterized by the UE performing measurements while in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state, reusing existing Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements in the protocol. If the configured reporting conditions are met, the UE reports the MDT measurement results to the base station. When the UE switches to another cell or enters the RRC idle state, the configured MDT measurements are deleted.

[0068] Logged MDT is a feature in which the base station configures Logged MDT measurements for the UE while it is in the RRC Connected state. The UE can only perform measurements in the RRC Idle / Inactive state and record the measurement results. The results are reported to the base station only after the UE returns to the RRC Connected state. Once configured, Logged MDT measurements continue until the configured duration expires.

[0069] From the perspective of MDT collection objects, MDT can be divided into management-based MDT (management-based MDT) and signaling-based MDT (Signaling-based MDT).

[0070] Management-based MDT collects MDT data of UEs in a specific area (such as a tracking area or a cell). The MDT request and configuration are directly sent to the base station by the OAM.

[0071] Signaling-based MDT collects MDT data of a specific UE, and the base station can specify the UE through the user identity / equipment identity.

[0072] Data collection solutions in related technologies, such as MDT, have a certain impact on terminal storage and power consumption. With the deployment of AI / ML functions, the network's demand for terminal data collection will further increase. It is necessary to consider how to reduce the amount of data collected by a single terminal, thereby reducing the consumption of data collection by a single terminal.

[0073] In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide an information transmission method, an information transmission apparatus, and a communication device to solve the problem of high data collection consumption by terminals.

[0074] This application defines the following terms:

[0075] Data collection auxiliary information: It is auxiliary information related to data collection (Assistance Information), which is used to represent the data collection tendency or data collection status.

[0076] Data collection auxiliary information configuration: is configuration information related to data collection auxiliary information, used to instruct (or configure) the terminal to report (or feedback) data collection auxiliary information.

[0077] The information transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0078] FIG3 shows a flow chart of an information transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the information transmission method includes the following steps:

[0079] Step 301: The terminal receives first information from a base station. The first information includes first configuration information. The first configuration information is configuration information for instructing to report data collection auxiliary information. The data collection auxiliary information is auxiliary information for representing a data collection tendency or a data collection status.

[0080] Step 302: The terminal sends second information to the base station, where the second information includes first data collection auxiliary information, where the first data collection auxiliary information is data collection auxiliary information used to characterize the data collection tendency or data collection status of the terminal.

[0081] The base station in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as a serving base station of the terminal. The first configuration information can be understood as data collection auxiliary information configuration, which is used to instruct (or configure) the terminal to report (or feedback) data collection auxiliary information.

[0082] After receiving the first configuration information, the terminal may send data collection auxiliary information (ie, first data collection auxiliary information) to the base station to indicate the data collection tendency or data collection status of the terminal itself.

[0083] For the terminal, in the subsequent data collection process, appropriate data collection can be performed based on the reported data collection auxiliary information to reduce the terminal's consumption on data collection.

[0084] The base station can consider the data collection auxiliary information reported by the terminal during the subsequent data collection configuration and data acquisition process. In other words, it can consider the terminal's data collection tendency or data collection status and perform appropriate data collection configuration and data acquisition for the terminal to reduce the terminal's data collection consumption. This can avoid the base station from performing large or frequent data collection and data reporting on a single terminal.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal receives first information from a base station, the first information including first configuration information, which is configuration information for instructing to report data collection auxiliary information, the data collection auxiliary information being auxiliary information used to characterize a data collection tendency or data collection status; and the terminal sends second information to the base station, the second information including first data collection auxiliary information, the first data collection auxiliary information being data collection auxiliary information used to characterize the data collection tendency or data collection status of the terminal. In this way, in subsequent data collection processes, the terminal can perform appropriate data collection based on the reported data collection auxiliary information, which can reduce the terminal's consumption of data collection.

[0086] Exemplarily, when there is a data collection requirement, for example, the base station receives an MDT collection requirement from OAM, or the base station itself has a data collection requirement, the base station sends data collection auxiliary information configuration (ie, first configuration information) to the terminal.

[0087] Exemplarily, the first information may be carried in a first message, which is a data collection request message. In other words, the data collection auxiliary information configuration may be carried in a data collection request message.

[0088] For example, when there is a data collection requirement, the base station sends a data collection request message to the terminal, and the data collection request message carries the data collection auxiliary information configuration. In addition to the data collection auxiliary information configuration, the data collection request message may also carry the data collection configuration.

[0089] The data collection request message carries the data collection auxiliary information configuration and the data collection configuration, that is, one message carries both configurations at the same time, which can reduce the number of signaling interactions between the terminal and the base station, thereby appropriately reducing the communication overhead.

[0090] Exemplarily, the second information may be carried by any of the following messages:

[0091] A second message, wherein the second message is a data acquisition response (MeasurementReport) message;

[0092] The third message is a terminal assistance information (UEAssistanceInformation) message.

[0093] That is, the data collection auxiliary information can be carried through the MeasurementReport message, or carried through the UEAssistanceInformation message.

[0094] The MeasurementReport message can be understood as a response message to a data collection request. Carrying data collection auxiliary information in the MeasurementReport message can reduce the number of signaling interactions between the terminal and the base station, thereby appropriately reducing communication overhead.

[0095] In some embodiments, before the terminal receives the first information from the base station, the method further includes:

[0096] The terminal sends third information to the base station, where the third information is used to indicate that the terminal supports a target capability, where the target capability is a capability of reporting the data collection auxiliary information.

[0097] The terminal can interact with the base station to report its own capability information to the base station.

[0098] In this embodiment, during the capability exchange process, the terminal can inform the base station of its support (or possession) capability (ie, target capability) of reporting data collection auxiliary information by sending third information. Here, capability can be understood as or replaced by function.

[0099] That is to say, when the base station determines that the terminal supports reporting data collection auxiliary information, it sends configuration information related to data collection auxiliary information to the terminal. This can avoid the base station sending relevant configuration information to the terminal that does not support reporting data collection auxiliary information, thereby avoiding unnecessary communication overhead.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0101] A first indication, used to instruct to establish the first configuration information;

[0102] A data collection identifier, wherein the data corresponding to the data collection identifier is data that is allowed to report the data collection auxiliary information;

[0103] A data collection list, wherein the data corresponding to the data collection list is data that is allowed to report the data collection auxiliary information;

[0104] A target threshold value is used to determine a status of the storage space.

[0105] Exemplarily, the first indication may be a 1-bit indication, such as “1” or “ture”.

[0106] Exemplarily, the target threshold is used to determine whether the storage space is full or insufficient. It should be noted that the target threshold can be configured by the base station or pre-agreed by a protocol.

[0107] The data corresponding to the data collection identifier is data that is allowed to report the data collection auxiliary information. It can be understood that the terminal can report the data collection auxiliary information for the data corresponding to the data collection identifier. In other words, the terminal can selectively collect the data corresponding to the data collection identifier. For example, the terminal can choose to collect or not collect, collect less, or collect later the data corresponding to the data collection identifier.

[0108] The data corresponding to the data collection list is data that is allowed to report the data collection auxiliary information. It can be understood that the terminal can report the data collection auxiliary information for the data corresponding to the data collection list. In other words, the terminal can selectively collect the data corresponding to the data collection list. For example, the terminal can choose to collect, not collect, collect less, or collect later the data corresponding to the data collection list.

[0109] It should be noted that when the first configuration information includes a data collection identifier (or data collection list), it indicates that the base station supports the terminal reporting data collection auxiliary information for the data collection identifier (or data collection list). When the first configuration information does not include any data collection identifier (or data collection list), it can be understood that the base station does not limit the type of data for which the terminal reports the data collection auxiliary information, and the terminal can report the data collection auxiliary information according to its own needs.

[0110] Optionally, the data collection identifier includes at least one of the following:

[0111] A first identifier, used to indicate a corresponding measurement service. The first identifier may be, for example, MeasId;

[0112] A second identifier is used to indicate a corresponding measurement target. The second identifier may be, for example, MeasObjectId, and the measurement target may be, for example, a measurement frequency point;

[0113] A third identifier is used to indicate a corresponding measurement report configuration. The third identifier may be, for example, ReportConfigId. The measurement report configuration may be, for example, a reporting period configuration of the measurement report;

[0114] A fourth flag is used to indicate a corresponding measurement parameter, which may be, for example, a reference signal received power (RSRP), a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), or a reference signal received quality (RSRQ);

[0115] A fifth flag is used to indicate a corresponding measurement reference signal, which may be, for example, a synchronization signal block (SSB), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or a positioning reference signal (PRS);

[0116] The sixth identifier is used to indicate the corresponding AI function. The AI ​​function may be, for example, a beam prediction function, a positioning function, or a mobility optimization function.

[0117] Optionally, the data collection list includes at least one of the following:

[0118] The first list includes information on measurement services;

[0119] The second list includes information about measurement targets;

[0125] Information of a first timer, used to indicate that the terminal does not expect to receive a data collection request before the first timer times out, or ignores a received data collection request;

[0126] a first data collection auxiliary information identifier associated with the first timer, used to indicate that the terminal does not expect to receive a data collection request corresponding to the first data collection auxiliary information identifier before the first timer times out, or ignores receiving a data collection request corresponding to the first data collection auxiliary information identifier;

[0127] a first data collection auxiliary information list associated with the first timer, used to indicate that the terminal does not expect to receive a data collection request corresponding to the first data collection auxiliary information list before the first timer times out, or ignores receiving a data collection request corresponding to the first data collection auxiliary information list;

[0128] The second indication is used to indicate that a first storage space of the terminal reaches a preset state, where the first storage space is a space for storing data collected by the terminal.

[0129] The first timer can be understood as data collection auxiliary information that characterizes the data collection tendency of the terminal. By reporting the first timer, the terminal does not need to collect or report data within the validity period of the first timer, which can reduce the terminal's consumption on data collection.

[0130] The second indication can be understood as data collection auxiliary information that indicates the terminal's data collection status. By reporting the second indication, the base station can be informed that the terminal cannot collect more data. In this way, the base station will not send data collection requests to the terminal for a period of time, which can reduce the terminal's consumption of data collection.

[0131] Exemplarily, the second indication may be a 1-bit indication, such as “1” or “ture”.

[0132] It should be noted that, when the first data collection auxiliary information does not include any data collection auxiliary information identifier (or data collection auxiliary information list), the first timer can be suitable for any data collection.

[0133] It should be noted that if the data collection auxiliary information configuration (i.e., the first configuration information) sent by the base station includes a data collection identifier (or data collection list), the data collection auxiliary information (i.e., the first data collection auxiliary information) fed back by the terminal may not include the data collection auxiliary information identifier (or data collection auxiliary information list).

[0134] Optionally, the first data collection auxiliary information identifier includes at least one of the following:

[0135] a seventh identifier, where the measurement service corresponding to the seventh identifier is associated with the first timer, and the seventh identifier may be, for example, MeasId;

[0136] an eighth identifier, where the measurement target corresponding to the eighth identifier is associated with the first timer. The eighth identifier may be, for example, MeasObjectId;

[0137] a ninth identifier, where the measurement report configuration corresponding to the ninth identifier is associated with the first timer, and the ninth identifier may be, for example, ReportConfigId;

[0138] a tenth identifier, wherein a measurement parameter corresponding to the tenth identifier is associated with the first timer;

[0139] an eleventh identifier, wherein the measurement reference signal corresponding to the eleventh identifier is associated with the first timer;

[0140] A twelfth identifier, the AI ​​function corresponding to the twelfth identifier is associated with the first timer.

[0141] Optionally, the first data collection auxiliary information list includes at least one of the following:

[0142] a seventh list, where the measurement service corresponding to the measurement service information in the seventh list is associated with the first timer;

[0143] an eighth list, wherein the measurement target corresponding to the measurement target information in the eighth list is associated with the first timer;

[0144] a ninth list, wherein the measurement report configuration corresponding to the measurement report configuration information in the ninth list is associated with the first timer;

[0145] a tenth table, where measurement parameters corresponding to the measurement parameter information in the tenth table are associated with the first timer;

[0146] an eleventh list, where the measurement reference signal corresponding to the measurement reference signal information in the eleventh list is associated with the first timer;

[0147] A twelfth list, wherein the AI ​​functions corresponding to the AI ​​function information in the twelfth list are associated with the first timer.

[0148] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0149] The terminal determines, based on a target threshold, whether the first storage space reaches the preset state;

[0150] The target threshold is used by the terminal to determine the state of the storage space, and the target threshold is agreed upon through a protocol or configured by the base station.

[0151] Optionally, the preset state is used to indicate that the first storage space is in a full state or an insufficient state;

[0152] The terminal determines, based on a target threshold, whether the first storage space reaches the preset state, including at least one of the following:

[0153] When the used ratio of the first storage space is higher than the target threshold, the terminal determines that the first storage space reaches the preset state;

[0154] When the remaining space ratio of the first storage space is lower than the target threshold, the terminal determines that the first storage space reaches the preset state.

[0155] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0156] When the first storage space reaches the preset state, the terminal releases the second configuration information, or the terminal no longer collects data corresponding to the second configuration information, or the terminal no longer stores data corresponding to the second configuration information;

[0157] The second configuration information is configuration information related to data collection.

[0158] That is, after the first storage space is full, the terminal can release the data collection configuration (i.e., the second configuration information), such as the data collection configuration carried in the data collection request message. Releasing the second configuration information indicates that the terminal no longer collects data corresponding to the second configuration information, or no longer stores data corresponding to the second configuration information. Alternatively, the terminal may not release the second configuration information, in which case the terminal no longer collects data corresponding to the second configuration information, or no longer stores data corresponding to the second configuration information.

[0159] This implementation can reduce the consumption of the terminal on data collection.

[0160] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0161] The terminal receives fourth information from the base station, where the fourth information is used to request data reporting;

[0162] The terminal reports the data in the first storage space to the base station.

[0163] That is, upon receiving the second instruction sent by the terminal, the base station may send fourth information to the terminal to request the terminal to report data.

[0164] Exemplarily, the fourth information may be carried by a terminal information request (UEInformationRequest) message or a terminal information response (UEInformationResponse) message.

[0165] Additionally, after the terminal reports the data in the first storage space to the base station, the first storage space may be released.

[0166] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0167] The terminal receives fifth information from the base station, where the fifth information is used to instruct to release the first configuration information;

[0168] The terminal releases the first configuration information, or the terminal no longer collects data corresponding to the first configuration information, or the terminal no longer stores data corresponding to the first configuration information.

[0169] Exemplarily, after the base station completes data collection, or after the base station no longer has a data collection requirement corresponding to the first configuration information, the base station may send the fifth information to the terminal.

[0170] After receiving the fifth information, the terminal may release the first configuration information, or stop collecting data corresponding to the first configuration information, or stop storing data corresponding to the first configuration information, thereby reducing the terminal's consumption of data collection.

[0171] It should be noted that after receiving the first configuration information, if the base station does not instruct the terminal to release the first configuration information, the terminal may send the data collection auxiliary information multiple times. For example, when the terminal's power saving requirements change, the terminal may send new data collection auxiliary information. Therefore, it is understandable that after the terminal releases the first configuration information, the terminal no longer reports the corresponding data collection auxiliary information.

[0172] The above is an embodiment of the method on the terminal side. The following describes an embodiment of the method on the base station side.

[0173] The embodiments of the present application relate to a scheme in which a base station receives data collection auxiliary information from a terminal, and also relate to a scheme in which a base station receives data collection auxiliary information from another base station. That is, the source of the data collection auxiliary information received by the base station can be either the terminal or another base station. The following describes a scheme in which a base station receives data collection auxiliary information from a terminal.

[0178] For the first terminal, the first base station is the source base station (or serving base station) of the first terminal.

[0179] In some embodiments, before the first base station sends the first information to the first terminal, the method further includes:

[0214] an eighth list, wherein the measurement target corresponding to the measurement target information in the eighth list is associated with the first timer;

[0219] In some embodiments, the method further comprises at least one of the following:

[0220] In a case where the first data collection auxiliary information includes information of the first timer, the first base station stops sending the data collection request to the first terminal before the first timer times out;

[0221] When the first data collection auxiliary information includes information of the first timer and the first data collection auxiliary information identifier, the first base station stops sending the data collection request corresponding to the first data collection auxiliary information identifier to the first terminal before the first timer times out;

[0222] When the first data collection auxiliary information includes information of the first timer and the first data collection auxiliary information list, the first base station stops sending the data collection request corresponding to the first data collection auxiliary information list to the first terminal before the first timer times out.

[0223] That is, during the data collection configuration and data acquisition process, the first base station considers the first data collection auxiliary information reported by the first terminal, that is, considers the data collection tendency or data collection status of the first terminal, and performs appropriate data collection configuration and data acquisition for the first terminal to reduce the first terminal's consumption of data collection. In this way, it can avoid the first base station from performing large amounts or frequent data collection and data reporting on the first terminal.

[0224] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0225] In a case where the first data collection auxiliary information includes the second indication, the first base station sends fourth information to the first terminal, where the fourth information is used to request data reporting.

[0226] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0227] The first base station sends fifth information to the first terminal, where the fifth information is used to indicate the release of the first configuration information.

[0228] The embodiments of the present application also involve auxiliary information for data collection between base stations. Various scenarios for auxiliary information for data collection between base stations are described below.

[0229] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0230] When the first terminal needs to switch to the target cell, if the first timer has not timed out or the first terminal has not completed data reporting, the first base station sends sixth information to the second base station, where the sixth information includes the first data collection auxiliary information, and the second base station is the base station corresponding to the target cell.

[0231] This implementation is applicable to the scenario of RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED) switching.

[0232] After the first terminal reports the first data collection auxiliary information, before the first timer times out, or before the first terminal completes data reporting, if the first terminal switches, the source base station (i.e., the first base station) may include the first data collection auxiliary information in the switching request.

[0233] In this way, the new base station (i.e., the second base station) can consider the first data collection auxiliary information sent by the first base station in the subsequent data collection configuration process and data acquisition process, and perform appropriate data collection configuration and data acquisition for the first terminal. This can avoid the new base station from performing large-scale or frequent data collection and data reporting on the first terminal.

[0234] Furthermore, the first terminal does not need to send the same data collection auxiliary information to the new base station, which can appropriately reduce the communication overhead of the first terminal.

[0235] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0236] When the first terminal enters an inactive state, if the first timer has not timed out, or the first terminal has not completed data reporting, the first base station maintains the first data collection auxiliary information.

[0237] This implementation is applicable to the scenario of RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE).

[0238] After the first terminal reports the first data collection auxiliary information, before the first timer times out, or before the first terminal completes data reporting, if the first terminal enters an inactive state, the source base station (i.e., the first base station) maintains the first data collection auxiliary information, so that the first data collection auxiliary information is in a valid state.

[0239] Exemplarily, maintaining the first data collection auxiliary information includes maintaining a first timer.

[0240] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0241] When the first terminal initiates a connection recovery request, if the first timer has not timed out or the first terminal has not completed data reporting, the first base station sends seventh information to the third base station, where the seventh information includes the first data collection auxiliary information. The third base station is the base station corresponding to the connection recovery request.

[0242] This implementation is applicable to the scenario of RRC inactive connection recovery.

[0243] After the first terminal reports the first data collection auxiliary information, before the first timer expires, or before the first terminal completes data reporting, if the first terminal initiates connection recovery (RRC resume), the source base station can send the first data collection auxiliary information to the target base station (i.e., the third base station) in the terminal context feedback (RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT RESPONSE) message.

[0244] In this way, the new base station (i.e., the third base station) can consider the first data collection auxiliary information sent by the first base station in the subsequent data collection configuration process and data acquisition process, and perform appropriate data collection configuration and data acquisition for the first terminal. This can avoid the new base station from performing large-scale or frequent data collection and data reporting on the first terminal.

[0245] Furthermore, the first terminal does not need to send the same data collection auxiliary information to the new base station, which can appropriately reduce the communication overhead of the first terminal.

[0246] Optionally, in the method, the first information is carried by a first message, and the first message is a data collection request message.

[0247] Optionally, the second information in the method is carried by any one of the following messages:

[0248] The second message is a data acquisition response MeasurementReport message;

[0249] The third message is a terminal assistance information UEAssistanceInformation message.

[0282] For the relevant description of the embodiments of the present application, please refer to the relevant description of the method embodiments in Figures 3 to 4, and the same technical effects can be achieved. To avoid repetition, they will not be described in detail.

[0283] The following provides a specific embodiment for illustrative purposes with respect to a solution in which a terminal reports auxiliary information for data collection.

[0284] As shown in Figure 6, the terminal reports data collection auxiliary information including the following steps:

[0285] Step 1: The terminal interacts with the base station to indicate that the terminal supports the data collection auxiliary information reporting capability (or data collection auxiliary information reporting function).

[0286] Step 2: When the base station has a data collection requirement, it sends a data collection request message to the terminal, where the data collection request message includes data collection auxiliary information configuration.
