Abstract

A communication method and a communication apparatus, which relate to the technical field of communications. In the communication method, an access network side apparatus identifies, on the basis of a rule, whether acquired first data comprises a quality-of-service parameter, and determines a processing mode for the first data on the basis of an identification result, for example, if the access network side apparatus determines that the first data comprises a quality-of-service parameter, the first data is processed on the basis of the quality-of-service parameter included in the first data, and if the access network side apparatus determines that the first data does not comprise a quality-of-service parameter, then a first quality-of-service parameter is configured for the first data, and the processing of the first data is completed on the basis of the first quality-of-service parameter. In this way, when the first data is data related to the access network side apparatus (e.g., the first data is generated by the access network side apparatus), the access network side apparatus can complete, on the basis of the above rule, data transmission for services, which involve the access network side apparatus, of a source end and / or a destination end.

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. 202410437090.4, filed on April 11, 2024, entitled “Communication method and communication apparatus”, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and more particularly, to a communication method and a communication apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0003] In the fifth generation (5 th In the fifth generation (5

[0004] When the PCF completes the policy decision, the PCF sends the related configuration files (such as quality of service (QoS) rules, QoS profiles, and packet detection rules (PDRs)) of the policy it generates (for detection and classification of data) to the terminal device, the access network device, and the user plane function (UPF) respectively, and the terminal device, the access network device, and the UPF execute the policy according to the respective configuration files. For example, the terminal device maps uplink data to a QoS flow according to the QoS rules, the access network device manages air interface resources according to the QoS profiles, the UPF maps downlink data to a QoS flow according to the PDRs, or the UPF detects and classifies received uplink data according to the PDRs, etc.

[0005] However, the existing policy configuration mechanism cannot support the access network device to transmit data of a service involving the access network device of the source end and / or the destination end, and therefore how to support the access network device to transmit data of a service involving the access network device of the source end and / or the destination end is a technical problem to be solved urgently. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus, which can support the access network device to transmit data of a service involving the access network device of the source end and / or the destination end.

For ease of description, the access network side device is taken as an example in the following description.

[0009] In the above solution, the access network side device can determine a rule, identify a quality of service parameter of first data to be transmitted by the access network side device according to the rule, and determine a processing manner of the first data according to an identification result of the quality of service parameter of the first data.

For services involving the access network side device at the source end and / or the destination end, such as data generated by the access network side device or data processed by the access network side device, the access network side device cannot complete the transmission of the data. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application configure the access network side device with a rule for identifying whether the data includes a quality of service parameter. The rule can enable the access network side device to determine a corresponding processing manner according to whether the data includes a quality of service parameter. In this way, the embodiments of the present application can support the access network side device to transmit data of services involving the access network device at the source end and / or the destination end.

[0012] When it is determined that the first data includes a quality of service parameter, the access network side device completes the transmission of the first data according to an existing process. When it is determined that the first data does not include a quality of service parameter, the access network side device configures the first data with a corresponding first quality of service parameter, and completes the transmission of the first data according to the first quality of service parameter.

[0053] For ease of understanding, the following points are first explained.

[0054] First, the terms and / or descriptions in different embodiments of the application are consistent and can be mutually referred to if there is no special description and logical conflict, and the technical features in different embodiments can be combined to form new embodiments according to their inherent logical relationship.

[0055] Second, the various serial numbers involved in the application are only for differentiation for the convenience of description, and do not limit the scope of the application. The size of the serial numbers involved in the application does not mean the execution order. The execution order of each process should be determined according to its function and inherent logic. For example, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and other various term labels in the specification and claims and drawings of the application (if any) are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0056] Third, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to only those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0057] Fourth, in this application, "for indicating" can be understood as "enabling", and "enabling" can include direct enabling and indirect enabling. When describing that a certain information is used to enable A, it can include that the information directly enables A or indirectly enables A, and it does not mean that A must be carried in the information.

[0058] The information enabled by the information is called to-be-enabled information, and in the specific implementation process, there are many ways to enable the to-be-enabled information, for example, but not limited to, the to-be-enabled information can be directly enabled, such as the to-be-enabled information itself or the index of the to-be-enabled information. The to-be-enabled information can also be indirectly enabled by enabling other information, where the other information and the to-be-enabled information have an association relationship. The to-be-enabled information can also be enabled only in part, and the other part of the to-be-enabled information is known or agreed in advance. For example, the enabling of a specific information can also be achieved by means of the arrangement order of each information agreed in advance (for example, a protocol stipulates), thereby reducing the enabling overhead to a certain extent. At the same time, the common part of each information can also be identified and uniformly enabled to reduce the enabling overhead caused by separately enabling the same information.

[0059] Fifth, the "storage" or "saving" involved in this application can refer to saving in one or more memories. The one or more memories can be separately arranged or integrated in the encoder or decoder, processor, or communication device. The one or more memories can also be partially separately arranged and partially integrated in the decoder, processor, or communication device. The type of memory can be any form of storage medium, and this application does not limit it.

[0060] Sixth, the "protocol" involved in this application can refer to a standard protocol in the communication field, for example, it can include the fourth generation (4 th generation, 4G) network, 5G network protocol, new radio (NR) protocol, 5.5G network protocol, sixth generation (6 th generation, 6G) network protocol, and related protocols applied to future communication systems, and this application does not limit it.

[0061] Seventh, the arrows or blocks shown by the dashed lines in the schematic diagrams in the drawing part of the specification of this application represent optional steps or optional modules.

[0062] Eighth, any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in this application should not be interpreted as more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Rather, the words "exemplarily" or "for example" are intended to present the relevant concept in a specific manner for understanding.

[0063] Nine, in this application, unless otherwise stated, the " / " indicates the associated object before and after is a "or" relationship, for example, A / B can represent A or B; "and / or" in this application is only a description of the associated object associated relationship, indicating that there can be three kinds of relationship, for example, A and / or B, can represent: A alone, A and B exist at the same time, B alone, three cases, where A, B can be singular or plural.

[0064] The following describes some terms related to the embodiments of the application.

[0065] 1, perception

[0066] Wireless perception is to use wireless signals for perception. Perception is the process of collecting, processing collected data, and generating perception results, such as determining the distance, shape, type, etc. of the surrounding obstacles by collecting data, and for example, determining the breathing rate, heartbeat, etc. of the monitored object by collecting data. Among them, the collected data can be data collected by a sensor, or data collected by a wireless signal.

[0067] In an embodiment of the application, the service based on perception can be a perception service. Among them, the perception service can involve multiple source ends and / or multiple destination ends, which can include access network devices (or network devices).

[0068] 2, perception scenario

[0069] The perception scenario can be divided into a network device-based perception scenario, a network device and terminal device-based perception scenario, and a terminal device-based perception scenario. For example, see the perception scenarios shown in (1) to (3) of FIG. 1.

[0070] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a perception scenario according to an embodiment of the application. For example:

[0071] The perception scenario shown in (1) of FIG. 1 is a network device-based perception scenario, and the network device acts as a sending end and a receiving end of the perception signal. For example, the perception signal 1 sent by the network device reaches the target object (for example, a car), the perception signal 1 is reflected by the target object, the network device receives the perception signal 2, and processes the perception signal 2 to obtain the perception result.

[0072] The perception scenario shown in (2) of FIG. 1 is a network device and terminal device-based perception scenario, and the network device acts as a sending end of the perception signal and the terminal device acts as a receiving end of the perception signal. For example, the perception signal 1 sent by the network device reaches the target object, the perception signal 1 is reflected by the target object, the terminal device receives the perception signal 2, and processes the perception signal 2 to obtain the perception result.

[0073] The sensing scenario shown in (3) of FIG. 1 is a terminal device-based sensing scenario, in which the terminal device serves as a sending end and a receiving end of a sensing signal. For example, a sensing signal 1 sent by the terminal device reaches a target object, the sensing signal 1 is reflected by the target object, the terminal device can receive a sensing signal 2, and the terminal device processes the sensing signal 2 to obtain a sensing result.

[0074] Based on the sensing scenario shown in FIG. 1, a sensing service can be generated.

[0075] 3. Sensing entity (SE)

[0076] The sensing entity can send and / or receive a sensing signal, and can also send a sensing capability to a sensing control entity or an access management entity. In an embodiment of the present application, the sensing capability can include one or more of the following capabilities:

[0077] 1) Layer 1 (L1) sensing capability, used for sensing raw data, where the raw data refers to basic information of the sensing signal, such as one or more of the following: amplitude, phase, I / Q signal, etc.

[0078] 2) Layer 2 (L2) sensing capability, used for sensing measurement data, where the measurement data refers to data obtained by processing the raw data and used to represent a measurement dimension, and can include but is not limited to one or more of the following: time delay of a sampling point, receiving angle of the sensing signal, signal strength of the sensing signal, Doppler (i.e., frequency offset of the sensing signal), position of the target object, speed of the target object, etc.

[0079] 3) Layer 3 (L3) sensing capability, used for processing sensing data to obtain a sensing result, where the sensing data can be raw data and / or measurement data, and the sensing result can include but is not limited to one or more of the following: distance between the sensing entity and the target object, speed of the target object, position of the target object, angle between the sensing entity and the target object, moving path of the target object, breathing frequency of the target object, heartbeat of the target object, etc.

[0080] The sensing entity is a logical entity, which can also be referred to as a logical sensing entity. The sensing entity can be deployed on a network device or a terminal device, that is, a network device or a terminal device with sensing capability can serve as a sensing entity, and the sensing entity can be a network device or a terminal device with sensing capability. The network device or the terminal device can have the three capabilities described above, or have one or more capabilities. For example, some terminal devices with weak computing power have L1 sensing capability but do not have L2 sensing capability and L3 sensing capability. For another example, some network devices have the three capabilities described above. The sensing entity can also be deployed independently.

[0081] The sensing entity described above can include a sensing control entity and a sensing processing entity. The sensing control entity can be used to implement the control plane function of the sensing service, for example, to receive the sensing capability information of the sensing entity, and to orchestrate the sensing service based on the sensing capability information of the sensing entity. The sensing processing entity can be used to implement the data plane function of the sensing service, for example, to process the sensing data of the sensing service to obtain the sensing result of the sensing service. After the control plane function of the sensing service and the data plane function of the sensing service are deployed independently, the number of control plane function entities and data plane function entities can be flexibly configured and adjusted according to the resources and service conditions. Secondly, the attack on the data plane will not affect the control plane, and vice versa, thereby improving the reliability and security of the sensing service.

[0082] The names of the sensing control entity and the sensing processing entity are used for example and do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. With the development of communication technology and sensing technology, the two modules can have other names. For example, the sensing control entity can also be described as a sensing service control function (SSCF), or a sensing service control network element, or a sensing control network element, etc. The sensing processing entity can also be described as a sensing data processing function (SDPF), or a sensing data processing network element, or a sensing processing network element, a sensing data function network element, a data function network element, etc. For the convenience of description, the sensing control entity is described as an SSCF and the sensing processing entity is described as an SDPF in the following embodiments.

[0083] The embodiments of the present application take the introduction of SSCF and SDPF in the core network architecture of the 5G system as an example to better compatible with the 5G system, so as to smoothly evolve to the 6G system. The SSCF can be coupled to the SBI bus through a service-based interface (SBI) to communicate with other core network function modules; the SDPF can be coupled to the SBI bus through the SBI to communicate with other core network function modules, or can communicate through a separate interface, such as communicating with other SDPF through a separate interface, or communicating with the SSCF through a separate interface.

[0084] Exemplarily, the networking architecture after introducing the SSCF and the SDPF can be referred to FIG. 2.

[0085] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the networking architecture of the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily:

[0086] In the networking architecture shown in (1) of FIG. 2, the RAN communicates with the SSCF through the access and mobility management function (AMF), and the RAN communicates with the SDPF through the user plane function (UPF), the SDPF is coupled to the SBI bus through the SBI, and the SSCF is coupled to the SBI bus through the SBI. Then, the RAN can perform control plane communication with the SSCF through the AMF, and the RAN can perform data plane communication with the SDPF through the UPF.

[0087] In the networking architecture shown in (2) of FIG. 2, the RAN directly communicates with the SSCF, the RAN communicates with the SDPF through the UPF, the SDPF is coupled to the SBI bus through the SBI interface, and the SSCF is not coupled to the SBI bus. Then, the RAN can directly perform control plane communication with the SSCF, and the RAN can perform data plane communication with the SDPF through the UPF.

[0088] In FIG. 2, the subscript L1 of the RAN indicates that the RAN has L1 sensing capability, so the RAN can send sensing signals to target objects (such as the user equipment (UE) and the car in FIG. 2), and sense the original data through the sensing signals reflected by the target objects. In FIG. 2, the RAN has L1 sensing capability as an example, and in actual application, the RAN can also have L2 sensing capability, or have both L2 sensing capability and L3 sensing capability; in actual application, the UE can also have sensing capability, such as having at least one of L1 sensing capability, L2 sensing capability, and L3 sensing capability.

[0089] Based on the networking architecture shown in FIG. 2, the SSCF and the SDPF can be independently upgraded and maintained without affecting each other, so that the network can flexibly deploy and manage the core network function entities. In addition, FIG. 2 takes one SSCF and one SDPF as an example, and does not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. For example, the number of SDPFs can be increased or reduced according to actual needs, and even if the number of SDPFs is reduced, it will not affect the SSCF. This makes it easier for the network to be extended or streamlined.

[0090] At present, for services involving neither the source nor the destination of the access network device, for example, services involving the UE as the source and the UPF as the destination, the access network device does not need to identify the above services to complete the transmission of the above services. For services involving the access network device as the source and / or the destination, such as sensing services or AI services, etc., since there can be multiple sources and / or multiple destinations, the multiple sources and / or multiple destinations can include the access network device, and the existing policy configuration mechanism cannot support the access network device to transmit data of the above services. Therefore, the present application provides a communication method and a communication device, which can support the access network device to transmit data of services involving the access network device as the source and / or the destination.

[0091] For ease of understanding and description, the following is described from the following aspects: a communication system, a communication method, and a communication device.

[0092] I. Communication system

[0093] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a communication system, which can be seen from FIG. 3.

[0094] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. The communication system includes an access network side device and a first network element.

[0095] The access network side device is a device for performing the function of the access network device. For example, the access network side device is the access network device, or the access network side device is a module (such as a chip system or a chip or a circuit, etc.) in the access network device, or the access network side device is a logic node, a logic module or software that can realize all or part of the function of the access network device, which is not limited.

[0096] The first network element is a network element for performing the function of policy configuration or policy distribution. For example, the first network element is any one of a PCF or a session management function (SMF) or a policy delivery function (PDF), and the SMF or the PDF is used to obtain a policy from the PCF or a locally configured policy, and the function of the SMF or the PDF can also be completed by other entities.

[0097] The access network side device can obtain the rules, functions, codes, program codes, configuration files, texts, etc. from the first network element, and the obtained rules, functions, codes, program codes, configuration files, texts, etc. are used for the access network side device to perform service identification and / or service offloading. Alternatively, the rules, functions, codes, program codes, configuration files, texts can also be pre-configured in the access network side device, which can reduce the signaling interaction overhead of the access network side device to obtain the rules. For ease of description, the rules are taken as an example in the following description, but other possible terms are not limited.

[0098] When the access network side device obtains the rules, the access network side device identifies the data to be transmitted according to the rules. The data can be generated by the access network side device or by other devices (such as a UE or a UPF), and is not limited in this regard.

[0099] In the embodiments of the present application, the access network side device identifies the data to be transmitted according to the rules, which can include that the access network side device identifies the quality of service parameter of the data to be transmitted according to the rules.

[0100] For example, the access network side device determines that the data includes a quality of service parameter, and the access network side device completes the forwarding of the data according to the existing process. For another example, the access network side device determines that the data does not include a quality of service parameter, and the access network side device determines a corresponding quality of service parameter for the data.

[0101] In some embodiments, the access network side device can configure a corresponding quality of service parameter for the data to be transmitted. In some embodiments, the access network side device processes the data according to the corresponding quality of service parameter.

[0102] The quality of service parameter described above is used to represent the service quality level of the data, and the service quality level is related to the configuration and transmission of the resource used for transmitting the data. The description of the quality of service parameter can refer to Table 1. The content shown in Table 1 is only taken as an example, and is not limited finally.

[0103] Table 1

[0104] The parameters shown in Table 1 are examples of quality of service parameters. Different data can correspond to different quality of service parameters, for example, data 1 corresponds to quality of service parameter 1; data 2 corresponds to quality of service parameter 2; and so on. In order to distinguish the quality of service parameters of different data, the embodiments of the present application can support configuring an identifier or index for each quality of service parameter, which is used to identify the quality of service parameter, for example, identifier 1 or index 1 identifies quality of service parameter 1, which includes one or more of average window 1, downlink maximum packet loss rate 1, and so on; identifier 2 or index 2 identifies quality of service parameter 2, which includes one or more of average window 2, downlink maximum packet loss rate 2, and so on.

[0105] For some services, such as services in which neither the source end nor the destination end involves the access network side device, the data transmitted by the access network side device includes the quality of service parameters, and the access network side device can directly complete the transmission of the data according to the quality of service parameters included in the data. For other services, such as services in which the source end and / or the destination end involves the access network side device, for example, the data of this type of service does not include quality of service parameters, and the access network side device can not be able to complete or support the transmission of the data of this type of service. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application configure the access network side device with a rule for identifying whether the data includes quality of service parameters, which can enable the access network side device to determine the corresponding processing mode according to whether the data includes quality of service parameters, so that the embodiments of the present application can support the access network side device to transmit the data of services in which the source end and / or the destination end involves the access network device. This is further described below in combination with FIG. 4 and FIG. 5.

For example, the network element name in the 6G network can continue to use the term in the 5G network, or other names can be used, etc.

[0108] In addition, the access network side device can also refer to a radio access network (RAN) node (or device) that accesses the terminal device to the wireless network. The base station can broadly cover various names in the following or be replaced by the following names, such as: Node B (NodeB), evolved Node B (eNB), next generation Node B (gNB), relay station, access point, transmission reception point (TRP), transmission point (TP), master station, auxiliary station, multi-mode wireless (MSR) node, home base station, network controller, access node, wireless node, access point (AP), transmission node, transceiver node, baseband unit (BBU), remote radio unit (RRU), active antenna unit (AAU), remote radio head (RRH), central unit (CU), distributed unit (DU), positioning node, etc.

[0115] The technical solution disclosed by the communication system shown in FIG. 3 can also be applied to a macro-micro scene composed of different forms of base stations in a communication network, for example, the base station can be a satellite, an air balloon station, a drone station, etc. The technical solution disclosed by the communication system shown in FIG. 3 is also suitable for a scene where there are both wide coverage base stations and small coverage base stations.

[0116] The technical solution disclosed by the communication system shown in FIG. 3 can be applied to a scene where there is a high reliability service requirement, for example, a port, an industrial manufacturing, a transportation, a coal mine, etc.

[0117] The technical solution disclosed by the communication system shown in FIG. 3 can also be applied to a 5.5G, 6G and later wireless communication system, and the applicable scenarios include but are not limited to ground cellular communication, NTN, satellite communication, high altitude platform station (HAPS) communication, V2X, integrated access and backhaul (IAB), and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) communication, etc.

[0118] The service execution process between the devices in FIG. 3 is further described below in conjunction with FIG. 4.

[0119] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a service execution process according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, taking uplink transmission as an example, after the PCF (as an example of a first network element) completes policy decision, the PCF sends a QoS rule to the UE, the UE associates uplink data to a corresponding QoS flow according to the QoS rule, the PCF sends a PDR to the UPF, and the PCF sends a QoS profile (including parameters related to QoS, such as 5QI, ARP, etc.) and rule 1 to the RAN node. The PCF can send the above-mentioned policy configuration file to the UE, the RAN node and the UPF through the aforementioned PDF, and this is not limited. Rule 1 can be located in the QoS configuration or independent of the QoS configuration, and this is not limited. For ease of description, rule 1 is described below as an example independent of the QoS configuration.

[0120] The UE determines, according to the QoS rules, that the service quality of service 1 (such as web page and email) and service 2 (such as downloading file) is QoS 1, and the service quality of service 3 (such as voice and video) is QoS 2. The UE maps the data of service 1 and service 2 to radio bearer (RB) 1 based on the service quality of service 1 and service 2 being QoS 1, and transmits the data of service 1 and service 2 via RB 1, and maps the data of service 3 to RB 2 based on the service quality of service 3 being QoS 2, and transmits the data of service 3 via RB 2. The RAN node maps the data of service 1 and service 2 carried by RB 1 to data pipe 1 and data pipe 2 respectively via the QoS profile, and transmits the data of service 1 and service 2 via data pipe 1 and data pipe 2 respectively, and maps the data of service 3 carried by RB 2 to data pipe 3, and transmits the data of service 3 via data pipe 3. The UPF processes the data of service 1, service 2 and service 3. It should be noted that the mapping can be understood as configuring or matching or selecting a suitable carrier for the service.

[0121] The above description is based on uplink transmission, and the description is also applicable to downlink transmission. For example, the UPF maps the data of service 1 to data pipe 1 according to the PDR and transmits the data via data pipe 1, the UPF maps the data of service 2 to data pipe 2 according to the PDR and transmits the data via data pipe 2, and the UPF maps the data of service 3 to data pipe 3 according to the PDR and transmits the data via data pipe 3. The RAN node maps the data of service 1 carried by data pipe 1 and the data of service 2 carried by data pipe 2 to RB 1 via the QoS profile and transmits the data via RB 1, and the RAN node maps the data of service 3 carried by data pipe 3 to RB 2 via the QoS profile and transmits the data via RB 2. The UE processes the data of service 1, service 2 and service 3. Details are not described herein.

[0122] The service 1, the service 2 and the service 3 are services not involving the RAN node, for example, the source end of the service 1 is the UE, the destination end of the service 1 is the UPF, the source end of the service 2 is the UE, the destination end of the service 2 is the UPF, the source end of the service 3 is the UE, and the destination end of the service 3 is the UPF. For these services, the RAN node can transmit the data of the above services according to the QoS profile. For the service 4, a possible example, the source end of the service 4 is the RAN node, and the RAN node needs to process the service 4 according to the rule 1. Therefore, the PCF sends the rule 1 to the RAN node, the RAN node identifies or judges the data of the service 4 according to the rule 1, and sends the data of the service 4 to a suitable processing entity according to the identification result or the judgment result, for example, the service 4 is an uplink transmission service, the RAN node maps the data of the service 4 to the data pipe 3, and sends the data of the service 4 to the UPF and the like through the data pipe 3; for another example, the service 4 is a downlink transmission service, the RAN node maps the data of the service 4 to the RB1, and sends the data of the service 4 to the UE through the air interface through the RB1.

[0123] The process that the RAN node processes the service 4 according to the rule 1 described in FIG. 4 is described below in combination with FIG. 5.

[0124] For the sake of understanding and description, the communication method of the embodiments of the present application is described below by taking the interaction between the RAN node and the PCF as an example, but this should not constitute a limitation on the execution subject of the communication method. For example, the PCF can be a logical entity, can be configured separately or integrated into other entities, and the PCF can be embodied as a specific functional module (such as a circuit, a chip or a chip system, etc.), and can also exist in whole or in part in other logical nodes, logical modules or software. The RAN node is only one implementation form of the RAN side device, and the RAN side device can also be implemented by a specific functional module (such as a circuit, a chip or a chip system, etc.), and can also be implemented by a logical node, a logical module or software capable of implementing all or part of the functions of the RAN node. Among them, the PCF is an example of the first network element.

[0125] FIG. 5 is an interaction flow diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the method comprises:

[0126] S501, the PCF determines configuration information. The configuration information is used to configure the rule 1.

[0127] The PCF can determine the rule 1 according to user subscription information (for example, the subscription information of a normal user and the subscription information of an important user can be different, and therefore the rule for the normal user can be different from the rule for the important user) and / or an analysis result of a network data analytics function (NWDAF) (for example, the analysis result of the NWDAF indicates that the transmission environment of a certain important user has deteriorated, and therefore the rule for the important user needs to be updated to ensure the transmission of the important user, for example, to upgrade the bandwidth configuration of the important user). For details, refer to the description of the PCF determining a QoS rule or the PCF determining a PDR in the existing standard, which will not be repeated here.

[0128] The rule 1 can be used by the RAN node to identify data or services to be transmitted, so that the RAN node transmits the data or services to the corresponding processing entity. For example, the RAN node identifies the service 4 shown in FIG. 4 according to the rule 1, so that the RAN node transmits the service 4 to the corresponding processing entity, such as a UPF or a UE.

[0129] In one possible embodiment, the PCF configures the corresponding rule according to the service. For example, for a sensing service, the PCF configures or determines the rule 1 according to information related to the sensing service; for example, for an AI service, the PCF configures or determines the rule 1 according to information related to the AI service.

[0130] Taking a sensing service as an example:

[0131] The PCF obtains information related to the sensing service from a service subscriber management (xSSM) function (the xSSM function is used to manage services of users, such as AI services and / or sensing services, etc.), including but not limited to:

[0132] 1. Subscription subject: individual user, enterprise user, operator self-use;

[0133] 2. Sensing service: sensing service package, sensing service monthly package, gift package discount (number of times, length of time, etc.), deduction mode participating in incentive;

[0134] 3. Sensing service type: lonely old people care, unmanned aerial vehicle track monitoring, sensing map, etc.;

[0135] 4. Location of the area where the sensed target is located: restricted area, incentive-providing area, single-family house / high-rise building;

[0136] 5. Sensing entity device type: terminal, base station;

[0137] 6. User level: normal, important person, very important person (VIP);

[0138] 7. Time period: all day, busy hour, idle hour, holiday, weekend;

[0139] 8. Positioning accuracy;

[0140] 9. Speed estimation accuracy;

[0141] 10. Reconstruction / imaging accuracy;

[0142] 11. Perception resolution;

[0143] 12. Missed detection probability;

[0144] 13. False alarm probability;

[0145] 14. Perception service latency.

[0146] In specific applications, the PCF can obtain part or all of the above information, which is not limited.

[0147] The PCF can determine rule 1 according to the obtained information. For example, the PCF generates rule 1 according to the relevant information of the perception service (such as part or all of the information of the area position where the perceived target is located, the type of the perception service, and the user level), which includes the quality of service parameters for the perception service, including but not limited to:

[0148] 1. Area limit: area where the perception entity can provide service, accuracy limited area, prohibited area, etc.;

[0149] 2. Transmission settings of the service: maximum / minimum number of perception entities, maximum bandwidth, guaranteed bandwidth, maximum repetition period, minimum delay, service arrival synchronization range / deterministic latency, maximum data burst;

[0150] 3. Collection settings of the perception entity: minimum number of measured perception signals, maximum time interval, real-time / non-real-time.

[0151] In specific applications, the quality of service parameters for the perception service 1 can include part or all of the above information, which is not limited.

[0152] Taking an AI service as an example:

[0153] The PCF obtains information related to the AI service from the xSSM, including but not limited to:

[0154] 1. Contracting subject: individual user, enterprise user, operator self-use;

[0155] 2. Data type of AI data.

[0156] In a specific application, the PCF can acquire part of the above information, which is not limited.

[0157] The PCF can determine rule 1 according to the acquired information. For example, the PCF generates rule 1 according to the relevant information of the AI service, which can include the quality of service parameters of the above perception service, including but not limited to:

[0158] 1. Model size;

[0159] 2. Model cutting;

[0160] 3. Intermediate parameters;

[0161] 4. Flow conversion strategy.

[0162] In a specific application, the quality of service parameters for AI service 1 can include part or all of the above information, which is not limited.

[0163] In summary, the PCF configures rule 1 according to the service, thereby supporting the RAN node to identify different services in order to complete the transmission of different services.

[0164] In another possible embodiment, rule 1 is used by the RAN node to configure or match the corresponding quality of service parameters for different services. For example, rule 1 is used by the RAN node to configure quality of service parameter 1 for service 1, rule 1 is used by the RAN node to configure quality of service parameter 2 for service 2, and so on. In some embodiments, the aforementioned rule 1 can include the quality of service parameters corresponding to different services.

[0165] S502, the PCF sends the configuration information to the RAN node. The RAN receives the configuration information.

[0166] The RAN node determines rule 1 according to the configuration information. In this way, the RAN node can obtain the rule.

[0167] In some embodiments, S501 and S502 are optional, and the RAN node can also obtain the configuration information from other network elements, for example, the RAN node obtains the configuration information from the SMF or PDF, or the RAN node obtains rule 1 from the SMF or PDF. Or, locally configure rule 1, etc., which is not limited.

[0168] S503, the RAN node obtains first data.

[0169] For example, the RAN node can obtain the first data from other devices, such as the RAN node obtaining the first data from the UE or the UPF.

[0170] In a possible implementation, the first data is data generated by the RAN node. For example, the RAN node is a sensing entity, and the RAN node generates the first data by sensing measurement. In this way, the embodiments of the present application can support the RAN node to perform transmission processing on the data generated by the RAN node.

[0171] In a possible implementation, the first data is data processed by the RAN node. For example, the RAN node is an AI entity, and the RAN node obtains the first data from the terminal device and processes the first data. In this way, the embodiments of the present application can support the RAN node to perform transmission processing on the data that needs to be processed by the RAN node.

[0172] S504, the RAN node identifies the service quality parameter of the first data according to rule 1.

[0173] For example, rule 1 is used by the RAN node to identify the service quality parameter of the first data, or the RAN node identifies whether the first data includes the service quality parameter according to rule 1. Wherein, whether the first data includes the service quality parameter is related to the transmission mode of the RAN node to the first data, or the RAN node can determine the transmission processing mode according to whether the first data includes the service quality parameter.

[0174] S505, the RAN node processes the first data according to the identification result of the service quality parameter of the first data.

[0175] For example, if the RAN node determines that the first data includes the service quality parameter, the RAN node processes the first data according to the service quality parameter included in the first data, or the RAN node processes the first data according to the existing process.

[0176] For example, if the RAN node determines that the first data does not include the service quality parameter, the RAN node determines the second data according to rule 1, the second data includes the first service quality parameter corresponding to the first data, or the RAN node configures or adds or increases the first service quality parameter for the first data to obtain the second data, and processes the second data according to the first service quality parameter.

[0177] In some embodiments, the RAN node determines that the first data does not include the service quality parameter, the RAN node determines the second service quality parameter corresponding to the first data according to rule 1, and processes the first data according to the second service quality parameter. In this way, the RAN node does not need to configure the second service quality parameter for the first data, which can reduce the processing overhead of the RAN node.

[0178] In summary, when it is determined that the first data comprises the quality of service parameter, the RAN node completes the data transmission of the first data according to the existing procedure. When it is determined that the first data does not comprise the quality of service parameter, the RAN node determines the quality of service parameter corresponding to the first data according to rule 1, and processes the first data according to the determined quality of service parameter. The RAN node can also configure a corresponding first quality of service parameter for the first data. In this way, the embodiments of the present application can support the access network side device to transmit data of services involving the access network side device of the source end and / or the destination end.

[0179] Further, the description of the RAN node configuring a corresponding first quality of service parameter for the first data can refer to Table 2. The content shown in Table 2 is only used as an example and is not used as the final limitation.

[0180] Table 2

[0181] As shown in Table 2;

[0182] 1. The service type is conversational voice, and the corresponding quality of service parameter comprises: the resource type is GBR, the priority level is 20, the PDB is 100 ms, the packet error rate is not greater than 10 -2 , the maximum data burst volume is N / A, and the average window is 2000 ms. Correspondingly, the quality of service parameter can correspond to 5QI = 1.

[0183] 2. The service type is conversational video, and the corresponding quality of service parameter comprises: the resource type is GBR, the priority level is 40, the PDB is 150 ms, the packet error rate is not greater than 10 -3 , the maximum data burst volume is N / A, and the average window is 2000 ms. Correspondingly, the quality of service parameter can correspond to 5QI = 2.

[0184] 3. The service type is real-time game, and the corresponding quality of service parameter comprises: the resource type is GBR, the priority level is 30, the PDB is 50 ms, the packet error rate is not greater than 10 -3 , the maximum data burst volume is N / A, and the average window is 2000 ms. Correspondingly, the quality of service parameter can correspond to 5QI = 3.

[0185] 4. The service type is non-conversational video, and the corresponding quality of service parameter comprises: the resource type is GBR, the priority level is 50, the PDB is 300 ms, the packet error rate is not greater than 10 -6 , the maximum data burst volume is N / A, and the average window is 2000 ms. Correspondingly, the quality of service parameter can correspond to 5QI = 4.

[0186] When the RAN node determines that the first data does not comprise the quality of service parameter, the RAN node configures the first data with a first quality of service parameter according to rule 1, and obtains second data. For example, the first data is conversational voice, the RAN node configures the first data with a first quality of service parameter of 5QI=1; for example, the first data is conversational video, the RAN node configures the first data with a first quality of service parameter of 5QI=2; for example, the first data is real-time gaming, the RAN node configures the first data with a first quality of service parameter of 5QI=3; for example, the first data is non-conversational video, the RAN node configures the first data with a first quality of service parameter of 5QI=4.

[0187] In one possible implementation, the first quality of service parameter is related to at least one of:

[0188] A data service identifier (DSID) of the first data, a data pipeline identifier (DPID) of the first data, a service type of the first data, or a packet header of the first data.

[0189] For example, the data service identifier of the first data is data service identifier 1, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 1; the data service identifier of the first data is data service identifier 2, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 2. In this way, the RAN node configures or matches the corresponding quality of service parameter for the first data according to the data service identifier of the first data.

[0190] For example, the data pipeline identifier of the first data is data pipeline identifier 1, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 1; the data pipeline identifier of the first data is data pipeline identifier 2, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 2. In this way, the RAN node configures or matches the corresponding quality of service parameter for the first data according to the data pipeline identifier of the first data.

[0191] For example, the service type of the first data is service type 1, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 1; the service type of the first data is service type 2, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 2. In this way, the RAN node configures or matches the corresponding quality of service parameter for the first data according to the service type of the first data.

[0192] For example, the packet header of the first data is packet header 1, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 1; the packet header of the first data is packet header 2, and the RAN node configures the first data with quality of service parameter 2. In this way, the RAN node configures or matches the corresponding quality of service parameter for the first data according to the packet header of the first data.

[0193] For example, the data service identity of the first data is data service identity 1, the data pipe identity of the first data is data pipe identity 1, and the RAN node configures quality of service parameter 1 for the first data; the data service identity of the first data is data service identity 1, the data pipe identity of the first data is data pipe identity 2, and the RAN node configures quality of service parameter 2 for the first data; the data service identity of the first data is data service identity 2, the data pipe identity of the first data is data pipe identity 2, and the RAN node configures quality of service parameter 3 for the first data. In this way, the RAN node configures or matches the corresponding quality of service parameter for the first data according to the data service identity and the data pipe identity of the first data.

[0194] In this way, the RAN node can configure a suitable first quality of service parameter for the first data, and then the transmission of the first data can be completed.

[0195] According to the technical solution, the RAN node can identify the quality of service parameter of the data according to the rule, and determine the processing manner of the data according to the identification result. Compared with the existing policy configuration mechanism, the RAN node can identify whether the data includes the quality of service parameter, and determine the processing manner of the data according to the identification result. In this way, the RAN node can complete the data transmission of the source end and / or the destination related service involving the RAN node.

[0196] It should be noted that the rule 1 can include the quality of service parameters corresponding to different data. When the RAN node determines that a certain data does not include the quality of service parameter, the RAN node matches or determines or configures the corresponding quality of service parameter (for example, matches from the multiple quality of service parameters included in the rule 1), and completes the transmission of the data according to the determined quality of service parameter. In this way, the RAN node can support the data transmission of the source end and / or the destination related service involving the RAN node.

[0197] In one possible implementation, the method can further include:

[0198] The RAN node determines the transmission direction of the first data, and determines the mapping rule of the first data according to the transmission direction of the first data. In this way, the RAN node can map the first data to a suitable carrier according to the transmission direction of the first data, and then the transmission of the first data can be supported.

[0199] For example, the RAN node determines that the transmission direction of the first data is the downlink direction, and the RAN node maps the second data to the first RB. Further, the RAN node can send the second data through the air interface. In this way, the transmission of the first data through the air interface can be supported.

[0200] For example, the RAN node determines that the transmission direction of the first data is the uplink direction, and the RAN node maps the second data to the first data pipe. Further, the RAN node can send the second data through the first data pipe. In this way, the transmission of the first data through the data pipe can be supported.

[0201] In this way, after the first service quality parameter is configured for the first data, the RAN node can complete the transmission of the first data.

[0202] The RAN node performs data transmission for different services through the method shown in FIG. 5 is further described below through different application scenarios. FIG. 6 is described by taking a sensing service as an example, and the method shown in FIG. 5 can support the RAN node to perform data transmission for the sensing service. FIG. 7 is described by taking an AI service as an example, and the method shown in FIG. 5 can support the RAN node to perform data transmission for the AI service.

[0203] FIG. 6 is an interaction flow diagram of another communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 6, the method comprises:

[0204] S601, the service requester provides information 1 to the xSSM. The xSSM receives the information 1.

[0205] The information 1 is used for the service requester to request to open an account. The information 1 comprises user information of the service requester, such as identity information and address information, etc. The service requester can be an application (APP) or other forms, such as a device, etc.

[0206] The above steps can be completed in a business hall or online, which is not limited.

[0207] S602, the xSSM sends information 2 to the service requester. The service requester receives the information 2.

[0208] The xSSM verifies the service requester according to the user information included in the information 1, and creates an account for the service requester after the verification is successful. Correspondingly, the xSSM sends information 2 for responding to the information 1 to the service requester, for example, the information 2 indicates that the service requester opens the account successfully.
