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

[0052] Traditional communication systems are designed for connection-orientation and typically employ a session-centric management model. The network provides complete session lifecycle management mechanisms (e.g., processes such as the creation, modification, and deletion of end-to-end communication tunnels and anchor migration) and Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. Their primary purpose is to provide connectivity for data transmission, support user mobility, and ensure a secure user experience. Traditional communication services typically utilize dedicated computing resources, with low demands on both compute and storage resources.

[0053] With the diversification of service types, services such as perception and artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged. Since AI services are data- and compute-intensive, enabling native AI capabilities in 6G networks requires the introduction of new resource dimensions, including heterogeneous computing and storage resources, new computing tasks (AI-related tasks), and new data types (input and output data required for AI computations). This requires the design of corresponding management and control mechanisms. Furthermore, 6G networks will have more comprehensive perception capabilities, including target detection, positioning (distance and angle), speed measurement, and three-dimensional (3D) imaging, and will introduce solutions based on radar echoes. These new network capabilities, such as AI and perception, will involve the coordination and deployment of resources such as computing power, connectivity, algorithms, and data in multi-node scenarios to achieve a specific goal. Session-centric management models are not suitable for these scenarios. Therefore, future communication systems may adopt task-centric management models. However, when different nodes perform different subtasks, the execution status of tasks or subtasks cannot be known except by the node executing the subtask. In a task-centered management model, how to monitor the execution of tasks or subtasks, such as the training progress of the AI ​​model, the current location, and other information, becomes a problem that needs to be solved.

[0054] In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide an information monitoring method, an information monitoring apparatus, and a communication device to solve the problem of not being able to know the execution status of a task or subtask.

[0055] The information monitoring method provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0056] FIG2 shows a flow chart of an information monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the information monitoring method includes the following steps:

[0057] Step 201: The first device determines whether to monitor a target task or a first subtask based on a local policy or a first message from a second device, where the first subtask is a subtask of the target task.

[0058] The first message is used to request monitoring of the target task, or the first message is used to request monitoring of the first subtask.

[0059] This application introduces a task-centered management mechanism and a device for managing tasks, namely a first device (or network element). The first device is a network element or device with a task management function. The first device can also be called a task management unit or a task management function (Task Management function). The first device can be referred to as TM or TMF. The first device can be responsible for tasks such as translation of tasks, decomposition of tasks, selection of subtask nodes (or subtask functions), and coordination between subtasks. Here, the subtask node is a node that executes a subtask. It can be a certain device (or network element), one or more functional modules in a device (or network element), or a unit composed of multiple devices (or network elements).

[0060] The first message can be understood as a monitoring request message. When the first message is used to request monitoring of a target task, it can be understood that the first message is used to request monitoring of all subtasks of the target task. For example, if the target task is divided into N subtasks, the first message is used to request monitoring of these N subtasks. In the embodiment of the present application, monitoring a task or subtask can be understood as monitoring the execution process, performance, performance, execution results, etc. of the task or subtask.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the first device can decide whether to monitor the execution of the task or subtask based on the monitoring request message. If the first device does not receive the monitoring request message, the first device can also decide whether to monitor the execution of the task or subtask based on the local policy.

[0062] When the first device decides to monitor the execution status of a task or subtask, the first device may subsequently execute the monitoring process of the task or subtask and provide a monitoring report to the monitoring requester (ie, the second device) so that the monitoring requester can understand the execution status of the task or subtask.

[0063] It should be noted that the monitoring requester can be a subtask node participating in the target task, or any device that requires the target task's execution results. If the monitoring requester is a subtask node participating in the target task, the monitoring requester can determine whether the subtask needs to be dynamically modified or stopped by understanding the execution status of the task or subtask, thereby ensuring the execution of the subtask and ultimately facilitating the achievement of the target task.

[0064] The monitoring requester may be, for example, a user equipment (UE), RAN, subtask node, AF, 5G Core Network (5GC), network function (NF) and other communication devices. Subtask nodes may include, for example, communication resource management nodes (such as communication-mobility management nodes, communication-session management nodes, etc.), data resource management nodes, algorithm resource management nodes, computing resource management nodes, etc.

[0065] The process of communication between the first device and other communication devices can be understood as a task session. For example, a task session can be the process of communication between the UE and the TM, or the process of communication between the UE, the TM, and related subtask nodes. A task session can correspond to one or more subtask sessions (a subtask session refers to the process of communication between the TM and a subtask node). Establishing a task session means establishing a data transmission channel between the UE and the TM, or a data transmission channel between the UE, the TM, and related subtasks. In other words, a task session is a network resource established between the UE, the TM, and related subtask nodes in the operator's network. A task session may also sometimes be referred to as a task connection or task bearer. A task session or subtask session may also sometimes be implemented as a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session. The task session in this application is different from the PDU session in the prior art. The task session in the prior art establishes a data channel between the UE and the UPF, while the task session in this application establishes a data transmission channel between the UE and the TM, or a data transmission channel between the UE, the TM, and related subtasks. A task session may include a task session identifier and a subtask session identifier. The task session identifier is used to identify a task session and can be allocated by the UE and sent to the network, or allocated by the TM. The subtask session identifier is used to identify a subtask session. Task session identifiers and subtask identifiers have a one-to-one mapping relationship or a one-to-many mapping relationship (a task is a combination of tasks). The subtask session identifier can be allocated by the UE and sent to the network, or it can be allocated by the TM, the subtask management function, or the subtask function.

[0066] It should be noted that the target task or subtask in the embodiment of the present application may be a task transmitted through a task session or a subtask session, and the transmission here may be signaling transmission or data transmission.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the first device determines whether to monitor a target task or a first subtask based on a local policy or a first message from a second device, where the first subtask is a subtask of the target task; the first message is used to request monitoring of the target task, or the first message is used to request monitoring of the first subtask. In this way, when it is necessary or desirable to monitor a task or subtask, the first device can monitor the task or subtask, thereby being able to know the execution status of the task or subtask through monitoring.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first message includes at least one of the following information:

[0069] The identifier of the target task (Task ID);

[0070] The identifier of the first subtask (Sub-task ID);

[0071] an identifier of the second device (such as UE ID, AF ID, etc.);

[0072] First indication information is used to request monitoring of the target task (monitoring request), or to request monitoring of the first subtask; in one embodiment, the first indication information is used to request the first device to monitor the target task, or the first indication information is used to request the first device to monitor the first subtask;

[0073] First time information, used to indicate a time (or time period) during which the target task needs to be monitored (Monitoring period), or used to indicate a time (or time period) during which the first subtask needs to be monitored; in one embodiment, the first time information is used to indicate a time during which the first device needs to monitor the target task, or the first time information is used to indicate a time during which the first device needs to monitor the first subtask;

[0074] a first monitoring indication, used to indicate a first monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored for the target task, or used to indicate a first monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored for the first subtask; in one embodiment, the first monitoring indication is used to indicate a first monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored by the first device for the target task, or the first monitoring indication is used to indicate a first monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored by the first device for the first subtask;

[0075] The first condition information is used to indicate the triggering condition for replying to the monitoring status of the target task, or the triggering condition for replying to the monitoring status of the first subtask; in one embodiment, the first condition information is used to indicate the triggering condition for the first device to reply to the monitoring status of the target task, or the first condition information is used to indicate the triggering condition for the first device to reply to the monitoring status of the first subtask.

[0076] The first indication information can be understood as a message type identifier, that is, it is used to indicate whether the type of the first message is: a request to monitor the target task, or a request to monitor the first subtask. In one embodiment, the type of the first message can be indicated by the name of the first message. That is, when the type of the first message is indicated by the name of the first message, the first indication information is the name of the first message.

[0077] In one implementation, the first indication information is used to request the first device to monitor the target task, or to request the first device to monitor the first subtask.

[0078] The first monitoring parameter can be understood as the parameter (or information) that needs to be monitored, which may include the type of subtask that needs to be monitored, as well as the parameters that need to be monitored (such as model accuracy, average latency, calculation accuracy or perception resolution, etc.). When the first message contains the first monitoring parameter, the first device may monitor according to the first monitoring parameter or according to the default monitoring parameter. When the first message does not contain the first monitoring parameter, the first device may monitor according to the default monitoring parameter.

[0079] The first condition information can be understood as a notification threshold. That is, when the trigger condition corresponding to the first condition information is reached, it is necessary to reply to the monitoring requester with the monitoring situation (such as sending a monitoring report). If it is a scheduled report, the trigger condition can be the interval time, number of reports, etc.; if it is a conditional report, the trigger condition can be a specific condition.

[0080] Optionally, the first monitoring parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0081] Identification of the target task;

[0082] The identification of the target subtask;

[0083] Type information of the target subtask, used to indicate the type of the target subtask;

[0084] Monitoring parameters of the target subtask;

[0085] The target subtask includes one or more subtasks in the target task, or the target subtask is the first subtask.

[0086] In the case where the first message requests monitoring of the target task, the first message may carry the monitoring parameters of any number of subtasks of the target task, or may not carry the monitoring parameters of any subtask. For example, assuming that the target task includes three subtasks, namely the first subtask, the second subtask and the third subtask, then the first message may carry the monitoring parameters of all three subtasks, or may only carry the monitoring parameters of some subtasks, or may not carry the monitoring parameters of any subtask. For example, the first message only carries the monitoring parameters of the first subtask and the second subtask, but does not carry the monitoring parameters of the third subtask. In the case that the first message does not carry the monitoring parameters of the third subtask, the first device may use the default monitoring parameters of the third subtask as the monitoring parameters of the third subtask.

[0087] In the case where the first message requests monitoring of the first subtask, the first message may or may not carry the monitoring parameters of the first subtask. In the case where the first message does not carry the monitoring parameters of the first subtask, the first device may use the default monitoring parameters of the first subtask as the monitoring parameters of the first subtask.

[0088] Optionally, the target subtask includes at least one of the following types: a perception subtask, a computing subtask, an AI subtask, a data subtask, a positioning subtask, a communication subtask, and an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) subtask. For another example, the target subtask may also include, but is not limited to, a computing subtask, an information processing subtask, a multimedia subtask, an immersive subtask, and a communication subtask. Computing subtasks may include AI computing subtasks and non-AI computing subtasks; information processing subtasks may include positioning information processing subtasks and synaesthesia information processing subtasks; and immersive subtasks may include extended reality (XR) subtasks and virtual reality (VR) subtasks.

[0089] Exemplarily, the target subtask can be understood as a subtask set composed of multiple subtasks combined together in order to complete an independent function. That is, the target subtask includes multiple subtasks, and these multiple subtasks can support the completion of an independent function.

[0090] The understanding of the target task can be a combination of multiple functions or multiple subtasks, such as an automatic parking task or an environment reconstruction task. These tasks require not only the participation of computing subtasks, but also the participation of positioning subtasks. At the same time, they may also require the participation of AI subtasks. Multiple functions are combined to complete a task.

[0091] In one implementation, the first subtask or target subtask is a subtask obtained by decomposing the target task.

[0092] The monitoring parameters of the perception subtask include at least one of the following parameters: perception measurement mode, perception service, perception purpose, perception measurement signal, perception measurement accuracy, perception resolution, perception range, perception delay, perception update frequency, and subtask execution time;

[0093] The monitoring parameters of the computing subtask include at least one of the following parameters: data processing mode, data processing delay, computing accuracy, computing power information, computing delay, and subtask execution time;

[0094] The monitoring parameters of the AI ​​subtask include at least one of the following parameters: model training time, model inference time, model identifier, model download address, data source information, computing power information, computing type, model accuracy, and subtask execution time;

[0095] The monitoring parameters of the data subtask include at least one of the following parameters: data source information, data timestamp, data collection quantity, data collection size, data credibility, and subtask execution time.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, if the first device determines to monitor the target task or the first subtask, the first device may perform signaling interaction with each subtask node to implement monitoring of the target task or the first subtask. If the first device determines not to monitor the target task or the first subtask, the first device may reply with a rejection message to the monitoring requester.

[0097] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0098] The first device sends a second message to a third device, where the second message is used to request monitoring of the target task or one or more subtasks in the target task, and the third device includes one or more devices that execute one or more subtasks in the target task; or, the second message is used to request monitoring of the first subtask, and the third device is a device that executes the first subtask;

[0099] The first device receives a third message from the third device, where the third message is used to provide reply information for monitoring the target task or one or more subtasks in the target task, or the third message is used to provide reply information for monitoring the first subtask.

[0100] In this implementation, the third device can be understood as a subtask node.

[0101] The second message can be understood as a monitoring request message. The difference from the first message is that the sender of the first message is the source requester, and the sender of the second message is the task management unit.

[0102] In the case where the first message requests monitoring of the target task, when the first device interacts with each subtask node, the first device can process the first message and request monitoring of each subtask node separately for each subtask node, that is, the second message is used to request monitoring of the subtask performed by the third device; or, the second device does not process the first message and directly requests monitoring of the target task to each subtask node, that is, the second message is used to request monitoring of the target task.

[0103] Regardless of the method, after receiving the second message, the subtask node can determine that the subtask it needs to monitor is the subtask it is executing. For example, assuming that the second message is used to request monitoring of the target task, and the third device is executing the first subtask, the third device can know that it needs to monitor the first subtask.

[0104] After receiving the second message, the third device may determine whether to monitor the subtask and provide reply information to the first device.

[0105] In this implementation, the first device can enable the subtask node to monitor the subtask through signaling interaction with the subtask node, so that the first device can know the execution status of the task or subtask.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second message includes at least one of the following information:

[0107] The identification of the target task;

[0108] The identifiers of one or more subtasks in the target task, or the identifier of the first subtask;

[0113] A second monitoring indication is used to indicate a second monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored for the target task or one or more subtasks in the target task, or to indicate a second monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored for the first subtask; in one embodiment, the second monitoring indication is used to indicate a second monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored by a third device for the target task or one or more subtasks in the target task, or the second monitoring indication is used to indicate a second monitoring parameter that needs to be monitored by a third device for the first subtask;

[0114] The second condition information is used to indicate the triggering condition for reporting the monitoring report of the target task or one or more subtasks in the target task, or to indicate the triggering condition for reporting the monitoring report of the first subtask; in one embodiment, the second condition information is used to indicate the triggering condition for the third device to report the monitoring report of the target task or one or more subtasks in the target task, or the second condition information is used to indicate the triggering condition for the third device to report the monitoring report of the first subtask.

[0115] The monitoring information such as the second time information, the second monitoring parameter, the second condition information in the second message may come from the first message, or may be determined by the first device itself.

[0116] Exemplarily, the first device filters out monitoring information that is compatible with the subtask executed by the third device from the monitoring information of the first message.

[0117] Optionally, when the subtask includes a perception subtask, the second monitoring parameter includes at least one of the following parameters: perception measurement method, perception service, perception purpose, perception measurement signal, perception measurement accuracy, perception resolution, perception range, perception delay, perception update frequency, and subtask execution time.

[0123] The identifiers of one or more subtasks in the target task, or the identifier of the first subtask;

[0124] an identifier of the third device;

[0125] The third indication information (monitoring complete) is used to indicate that a reply has been made to the monitoring status of one or more subtasks in the target task (which can be understood as indicating that the monitoring of one or more subtasks in the target task has been completed), or is used to indicate that a reply has been made to the monitoring status of the first subtask (which can be understood as indicating that the monitoring of the first subtask has been completed);

[0126] The first monitoring report is a monitoring report of one or more subtasks in the target task, or a monitoring report of the first subtask;

[0127] The third time information is used to indicate the actual monitoring time of one or more subtasks in the target task, or to indicate the actual monitoring time of the first subtask;

[0128] Fourth indication information (monitoring reject), used to indicate a rejection of monitoring one or more subtasks in the target task, or used to indicate a rejection of monitoring the first subtask;

[0129] The fifth indication information is used to indicate the reason for refusing to monitor one or more subtasks in the target task, or to indicate the reason for refusing to monitor the first subtask.

[0130] As mentioned above, after receiving the second message, the third device may determine whether to monitor the subtask and provide reply information to the first device.

[0131] When the third device determines to monitor the subtask, it may provide the first device with information such as the first monitoring report and the third time information through a third message.

[0132] Optionally, the first monitoring report includes at least one of the following information:

[0135] Performance indicators can be understood as key performance indicators (KPIs) that characterize performance parameters during task execution. Performance indicators can include, for example, perception accuracy information, model inference accuracy, computing server load, or computing average latency.

[0136] When the third device determines not to monitor the subtask, that is, the third device refuses to monitor the subtask, it may provide the first device with information such as the fourth indication information and the fifth indication information through a third message.

[0137] The fifth indication information may be understood as information used to indicate a reason for rejection, and may be referred to as a reason value.

[0138] Optionally, the reason indicated by the fifth indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0139] One or more subtasks in the target task do not support being monitored, or the first subtask does not support being monitored;

[0140] One or more subtasks in the target task do not support the second monitoring parameter, or the first subtask does not support the second monitoring parameter;

[0141] The third device is congested or busy.

[0142] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0143] The first device sends a fourth message to the second device, where the fourth message is used to provide reply information for monitoring the target task, or the fourth message is used to provide reply information for monitoring the first subtask.

[0144] In an embodiment of the present application, when the first device receives a monitoring request from a monitoring requester, regardless of whether the first device monitors the task or subtask, the first device can provide reply information to the monitoring requester.

[0145] In one implementation, if the first device determines not to monitor the task or subtask, the first device may directly reply a rejection message to the monitoring requester.

[0146] In another implementation, if the first device determines to monitor a task or subtask, the first device may, after signaling with the subtask node, provide a response to the monitoring requester. This implementation has two possibilities: the first possibility is that the subtask node determines to monitor the subtask and provides a monitoring report to the first device. In this case, the first device may respond with the monitoring report to the monitoring requester. The second possibility is that the subtask node refuses to monitor the subtask and responds with a rejection message to the first device. In this case, the first device may respond with a rejection message to the monitoring requester.

[0147] In this embodiment, by sending the fourth message to the second device, the second device can timely understand the execution status of the target task or the first subtask, thereby providing a reference for the dynamic adjustment of subsequent task resources or the stopping of the task, etc., and ensuring better implementation of the target task.

[0161] It should be noted that the second monitoring report can be the same as or different from the first monitoring report. The first device can directly send the first monitoring report to the monitoring requester, in which case the second monitoring report is the first monitoring report; or the first device can first filter the first monitoring report to obtain the second monitoring report, and then send the second monitoring report to the monitoring requester.

[0162] Optionally, the cause indicated by the eighth indication information includes at least one of the following:
