[0002] Digital twinning refers to creating a "digital twin" in the digital world that corresponds to the real world. The basic principle of digital twin technology is to conduct real-time data collection and modeling of a specific "physical object" (i.e., the twinned object) in the real world based on the specific target twin tasks of the system user (e.g., operation and maintenance personnel), thereby constructing a corresponding "digital twin" (i.e., the digital spatial mapping of the "physical object"). This allows system users to foresee, predict, and pre-verify the inherent causal relationships such as the trend direction, status, condition path effects, and future changes of the "physical object" to a certain extent.

[0003] However, there is no digital twinning operation for network-physical entity objects in current wireless systems.

[0027] As advanced information technology (IT) simulation technologies, represented by digital twins (DT), become deeply integrated into future wireless systems, the native architecture, features, business processes, and performance of 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and sixth-generation mobile communication technology (6G) wireless systems will be impacted and optimized. Leveraging the real-world digital drive, twin modeling, simulation, and pre-verification capabilities of digital twin technology, various operational performance aspects of 5G-A and 6G wireless systems can be optimized and enhanced, improving the service experience for 5G-A and 6G mobile users. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the principle architecture of a wireless system provided by this application. As shown in Figure 1, in a wireless system, the terminal equipment (User Equipment, UE) and the network side (Network, NW) realize the transmission of business application data based on business application protocols, communication air interface protocols and radio signals, and complete communication business services. All communication business service behaviors of mobile terminal users or network side are based on real event requirements for objective purposes and will be physically executed. In the system operation state, the current wireless system basically does not have digital modeling and simulation operations for network physical entity objects. This application proposes a wireless communication method to realize digital twins for network physical entity objects.

[0028] The basic principle of wireless network digital twin technology can be: according to the specific target twin tasks of system users (for example, wireless network operation and maintenance personnel), real-time data collection and modeling fidelity reproduction of specific "physical objects" (i.e., twinned objects) in the real physical network are carried out, thereby constructing a corresponding "digital twin" (i.e., a digital spatial mapping of the "physical object"). In this way, system users can, to a certain extent, foresee, predict, and pre-verify the inherent causal relationships such as the trend direction, state, condition path effect, etc. of the future changes of the "physical object". Therefore, in order to realize the communication interaction between the terminal and the base station, how the base station or the terminal obtains the corresponding information requires further research.

[0029] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other in any way.

[0030] The steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions. Also, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in an order different from that shown here.

[0031] In this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a service scheduling transmission provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, a first communication node 1 and a second communication node 2 communicate and interconnect with each other, correspondingly exchanging information to implement digital twins. When the first communication node 1 is a base station, the second communication node 2 is a terminal; when the first communication node 1 is a terminal, the second communication node 2 is a base station.

The level of the digital twin is to set a measurement priority for the digital twin configuration information. The priority is from small to large or from large to small. For example, the lower the level, the higher the demand, and the terminal prioritizes the corresponding measurement and report upload.

[0052] The twin report collection entity address is the Internet Protocol Address (IP) of the high-level entity that receives the twin report.

[0059] The indication information of the digital twin report based on storage and periodic uploading can be understood as information based on uploading the digital twin report according to the reporting cycle indication after the digital twin report is generated and stored. It can be understood that the indication information of the digital twin report based on storage and periodic uploading exists in the configuration information when the first communication node is a terminal and the second communication node is a base station. When the configuration information includes the indication information of the digital twin report based on storage and periodic uploading, the terminal can store the twin simulation report locally, and then upload it in batches according to the set reporting cycle or report the latest digital twin report.

For example, the digital twin report generated corresponding to the most recent digital twin simulation is stored, or the digital twin report generated corresponding to the most recent digital twin simulation overwrites the old digital twin report.

[0113] In the case of multiple types of digital twin simulations, the digital twin reports are stored based on the priority of the digital twin report cache. For example, the corresponding digital twin reports are stored according to the corresponding priority of each measurement configuration of the base station terminal.

The indication information is included in the radio resource control configuration completion information (RRCSetupComplete), the radio resource control reconfiguration completion information (RRCReconfigurationComplete) or the radio resource control recovery completion information (RRCResumeComplete). Based on the indication information, the base station instructs the terminal to report the digital twin report information through dedicated signaling in the connected state. For the non-connected state or when the digital twin report does not need to be sent in time, when the terminal reports the digital twin report, it also includes the configuration information of the digital twin in the report and sends it to the base station.
