Description

Configuration updating method and apparatus

[0001] The present application claims priority from the Chinese patent application No. 202410519098.5 filed on April 28, 2024, and entitled "Configuration updating method and 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 in particular to a configuration updating method and apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0003] In the past few decades, wireless communication systems have evolved and researched from the first generation of analog communication to 5G New Radio (NR) and to future wireless communication systems. In this complex evolution process, high throughput and large connectivity have always been the core challenges of wireless communication networks. In order to cope with the above challenges, 5G communication proposes enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable, low latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine type communications (mMTC) as technical targets. And the future wireless communication system will evolve towards greater throughput, lower latency, higher reliability, greater number of connections, higher spectrum utilization, etc.

[0004] Among them, when the terminal device reports data to the network side through a physical channel, the usual way is that the terminal maps to the physical channel through the fixed configuration logical channel corresponding to the Quality of service (QoS) of the data, and then transmits the reported data; and due to the increase of data throughput and the need for lower latency data transmission, when the QoS of the reported data changes, the original logical channel is difficult to adapt to the changed QoS, resulting in a decrease in data transmission speed. SUMMARY

[0056] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication method, device, storage medium and computer program product, which are used for improving. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0057] The technical solutions of the present application can be applied to a terrestrial network (TN), a non-terrestrial network (NTN), or a scenario in which the NTN and the TN are fused. The NTN system can be, for example, a satellite communication system, a high altitude platform station (HAPS) communication system, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), etc. The TN system can be, for example, a 4th generation (4G) communication system (e.g., a long term evolution (LTE) system), a worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) communication system, a 5th generation (5G) communication system (e.g., a new radio (NR) system), a 6th generation mobile communication (6G) system, and a future mobile communication system, etc.

[0058] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the network architecture of the embodiments of the present application will be described first. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is an architecture schematic diagram of a communication system to which the embodiments of the present application are applied. It should be noted that FIG. 1 is a possible and non-limiting system schematic diagram. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 10 includes a radio access network (RAN) 100 and a core network (CN) 200, and optionally, the communication system 10 can also include an Internet 300. The RAN 100 includes at least one RAN node (such as 110a and 110b in FIG. 1, collectively referred to as 110) and at least one terminal (such as 120a-120j in FIG. 1, collectively referred to as 120). The RAN 100 can also include other RAN nodes, such as wireless relay devices and / or wireless backhaul devices (not shown in FIG. 1), etc. The terminal 120 is connected to the RAN node 110 in a wireless manner. The RAN node 110 is connected to the core network 200 in a wireless or wired manner. The core network network element in the core network 200 and the RAN node 110 in the RAN 100 can be different physical devices respectively, or can be the same physical device integrated with the logical functions of the core network and the logical functions of the radio access network, or can be a physical device integrated with the functions of part of the core network network element and part of the RAN node 110. The terminals and the terminals, and the RAN nodes 110 and the RAN nodes 110 can be connected to each other in a wired or wireless manner. FIG. 1 is only a schematic diagram, and the communication system can also include other network devices, such as wireless relay devices and wireless backhaul devices, which are not shown in FIG. 1.

[0059] The RAN 100 can be a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) related cellular system, such as a 4G, 5G mobile communication system, or a future-oriented evolved system (such as a 6G mobile communication system). The RAN 100 can also be an open radio access network (O-RAN or ORAN), a cloud radio access network (CRAN), or a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system. The RAN 100 can also be a communication system in which two or more of the above systems are integrated.

[0060] The RAN node 110, which can also be referred to as a radio access network device, an access network device, a RAN entity, or an access node, etc., forms part of the communication system, and is configured to facilitate wireless access to the communication system for terminals. The RAN nodes 110 in the communication system 10 can be of the same type or can be of different types. In some scenarios, the roles of the RAN nodes 110 and the terminals 120 are relative, e.g., the network element 120i in Figure 1 can be a helicopter or a drone, which can be configured to move as a mobile base station, and for a terminal 120j accessing the RAN 100 via the network element 120i, the network element 120i is a base station; but for the base station 110a, the network element 120i is a terminal. Both the RAN nodes 110 and the terminals 120 are sometimes referred to as communication devices, e.g., the network elements 110a and 110b in Figure 1 can be understood as communication devices with base station functionalities, and the network elements 120a-120j can be understood as communication devices with terminal functionalities.

[0061] In a possible scenario, the RAN node 110 can be a base station, an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a next generation base station in a 6th generation (6G) mobile communication system, a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a WiFi system, etc. The RAN node 110 can be a macro base station (e.g., 110a in Figure 1), a micro base station or an indoor station (e.g., 110b in Figure 1), a relay node or a donor node, or a wireless controller in a CRAN scenario. Optionally, the RAN node 110 can also be a server, a wearable device, a vehicle or a vehicle-mounted device, etc. For example, the wireless access network device in a vehicle to everything (V2X) technology can be a road side unit (RSU). All or part of the functions of the RAN node 110 in this application can also be implemented by a software function running on hardware, or by a virtualized function instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud platform). The RAN node 110 in this application can also be a logical node, a logical module or software capable of implementing all or part of the functions of the RAN node 110.

[0062] In another possible scenario, a terminal is assisted by multiple RAN nodes 110 to implement wireless access in cooperation, and different RAN nodes 110 respectively implement part of functions of a base station. For example, a RAN node 110 can be a central unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a CU-control plane (CP), a CU-user plane (UP), or a radio unit (RU), etc. The CU and the DU can be separately arranged, or can also be included in the same network element, such as a baseband unit (BBU). The RU can be included in a radio frequency device or a radio frequency unit, such as a radio remote unit (RRU), an active antenna processing unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH).

[0063] In different systems, the CU (or CU-CP and CU-UP), DU or RU can also have different names, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings. For example, in an ORAN system, the CU can also be referred to as an O-CU (open CU), the DU can also be referred to as an O-DU, the CU-CP can also be referred to as an O-CU-CP, the CU-UP can also be referred to as an O-CU-UP, and the RU can also be referred to as an O-RU. For the convenience of description, the CU, CU-CP, CU-UP, DU and RU are taken as examples for description in this application. Any one of the CU (or CU-CP, CU-UP), DU and RU in this application can be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

[0064] A terminal can also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station, mobile terminal, etc. The terminal can be widely applied to various scenarios, such as device-to-device (D2D), vehicle to everything (V2X) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), internet of things (IOT), virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial control, automatic driving, remote medical treatment, smart power grid, smart furniture, smart office, smart wear, smart transportation, smart city, etc. The terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, computer with wireless transceiver function, wearable device, vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicle, helicopter, airplane, ship, robot, mechanical arm, smart home device, etc. Embodiments of this application do not limit the device form of the terminal.

[0065] For ease of description, the following describes the base station as an example of the RAN node 110. The base station and the terminal can be fixed in position or mobile. The base station and the terminal can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on water surface; can also be deployed on an airplane, a balloon, and a man-made satellite. Embodiments of the present application do not limit the application scenarios of the base station and the terminal.

[0066] The roles of the base station and the terminal can be relative, for example, the helicopter or the unmanned aerial vehicle 120i in FIG. 1 can be configured as a mobile base station, and for the terminal 120j that accesses the wireless access network 100 through 120i, 120i is a base station; but for the base station 110a, 120i is a terminal, that is, 110a and 120i communicate through a wireless air interface protocol. Of course, 110a and 120i can also communicate through a base station-to-base station interface protocol, in which case, 120i is also a base station relative to 110a. Therefore, the base station and the terminal can be collectively referred to as a communication device, 110a and 110b in FIG. 1 can be referred to as a communication device with a base station function, and 120a-120j in FIG. 1 can be referred to as a communication device with a terminal function.

[0067] The base station and the terminal, the base station and the base station, and the terminal and the terminal can communicate through a licensed frequency spectrum, can communicate through an unlicensed frequency spectrum, or can communicate through both the licensed frequency spectrum and the unlicensed frequency spectrum; can communicate through a frequency spectrum below 6 gigahertz (GHz), can communicate through a frequency spectrum above 6 GHz, or can communicate through both the frequency spectrum below 6 GHz and the frequency spectrum above 6 GHz. Embodiments of the present application do not limit the frequency spectrum resources used for wireless communication.

[0068] In embodiments of the present application, the functions of the base station can also be performed by a module (such as a chip) in the base station or by a control subsystem containing base station functions. The control subsystem containing base station functions herein can be a control center in the above-mentioned application scenarios such as smart grid, industrial control, intelligent transportation, and smart city. The functions of the terminal can also be performed by a module (such as a chip or a modem) in the terminal or by a device containing terminal functions.

[0069] In the present application, a base station transmits a downlink signal or downlink information to a terminal, and the downlink information is carried on a downlink channel; the terminal transmits an uplink signal or uplink information to the base station, and the uplink information is carried on an uplink channel. The terminal needs to establish a wireless connection on a cell controlled by the base station in order to communicate with the base station. The cell with which the terminal establishes a wireless connection is referred to as a serving cell of the terminal. When the terminal communicates with the serving cell, it is also interfered by signals from neighboring cells.

[0070] In order to facilitate understanding of the related content of the embodiments of the present application, the following will explain some terms and processes involved in the embodiments of the present application. This part is only for the convenience of understanding and cannot be regarded as the disclosure or specific limitation of the technical solutions of the present application.

[0071] 1. The media access control (MAC) layer is used to provide access control functions (such as addressing mode, access coordination, frame check sequence generation and checking, and logical link control packet data unit delimiting) for the physical layer (PHY) with the support of the logical link control (LLC) layer. The MAC layer provides data transmission services on logical channels, and the logical channel type is defined according to the type of data transmitted on the logical channel. In the case that multiple logical channels have data transmission and the total amount of data exceeds the current transport time interval (TTI), the multiplexing function of the MAC layer is triggered.

[0072] The multiplexing function of the MAC layer is to multiplex the data packets of multiple logical channels into one data packet, and transmit the data packet through a physical layer channel (such as a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)). The order of multiplexing the data packets of multiple logical channels into a data packet is determined by the priority of the logical channel. Specifically, the logical channel with high priority is given priority in packet assembly, that is, the order of packet assembly of the data packet is in the order of the priority of the logical channel from high to low. Moreover, the logical channel with high priority can obtain more transmission opportunities, which means that the logical channel with high priority has a higher transmission rate or a lower transmission delay. Currently, the priority of the logical channel is mainly determined by the quality of service (QoS) parameter of the data carried by the logical channel.

[0073] Among them, the logical channel can be divided into downlink logical channel and uplink logical channel according to the transmission direction of data on the logical channel. In the downlink logical channel, the access network equipment determines the indicated priority of the logical channel according to the type of the logical channel and the QoS parameter of the data corresponding to the logical channel. In the uplink logical channel, when the terminal gets the scheduling opportunity, that is, gets the resource of the uplink transmission data, the indicated priority of each uplink logical channel can be determined by the terminal according to the situation of each uplink logical channel.

[0074] The logical channel can be generally divided into control channel and service channel. The control channel is mainly used for transmitting signaling or synchronization data; the service channel is used for transmitting encoded voice or user data. The priority of the control channel is higher than that of the service channel. The priority between the service channels depends on the QoS parameter of the data corresponding to the logical channel.

[0075] 2. Physical layer, providing transmission media and interconnecting devices between devices for data communication, providing a reliable environment for data transmission. In the sending device, the physical layer of the sending device processes the data stream (transport block / transport block set) from the MAC layer and the upper layer through multiplexing and channel coding, mapping of the transport channel to the physical channel, and spreading and modulation of the physical channel, etc. to form a data stream of the wireless interface, and transmits in the wireless interface. In the receiving device, it is a reverse process.

[0076] 3. Quality of service

[0077] QoS refers to a measure of the overall performance of the service experienced by a user in a network. To quantitatively measure QoS packet loss, bit rate, throughput, transmission delay, availability, etc., relevant aspects of the service are considered. QoS includes requirements for all aspects of a connection, such as service response time, loss, signal-to-noise ratio, crosstalk, echo, interruption, frequency response, and / or loudness level. In 5G NR, QoS flow identifiers (QFIs) are used to classify and label each QoS flow packet (e.g., data packet), for example, a first QoS flow is associated with video packets and a second QoS flow is associated with video streaming packets.

[0078] Within a 5G network, a 5G QoS identifier (5QI) mechanism can be used, in which individual QoS flow packets are classified into different QoS categories. In this way, the value of QoS can be configured according to the category, so that each QoS class has its own allocated QoS characteristics (e.g., packet delay and packet loss), and the QoS of different packets can be different.

[0079] 4. Logical channel prioritization procedure

[0080] For uplink, the UE creates MAC protocol data units (PDUs) to transmit using the allocated resources. This is to ensure that the UE meets the QoS of each configured radio bearer for PDU-based service flows. Based on the uplink transmission resource grant message signaled on the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the UE can decide the amount of data of each logical channel to be included in the new MAC PDU and, if necessary, also allocate space for MAC control elements (CEs).

[0081] In some cases, when performing a new transmission, a logical channel prioritization procedure is applied, data from the highest priority logical channel is included in the MAC PDU first, followed by data from the next highest priority logical channel, and so on until the MAC PDU size allocated by the network entity is fully filled or there is no more data to transmit.

[0082] In some cases, radio resource control (RRC) can control the scheduling of uplink data by signaling for each logical channel: priority, prioritized bit rate (PBR), and Bucket Size Duration (BSD).

[0083] The UE can maintain a variable Bj for each logical channel j. Bj can be initialized to zero when the relevant logical channel is established and increased by PBR*TTI at each transmission time interval (TTI), where PBR is the prioritized bit rate of logical channel j. However, the value of Bj can never exceed the bucket size, and if the value of Bj is greater than the bucket size of logical channel j, it is set to the bucket size. The bucket size of a logical channel is equal to PBRx BSD, where PBR and BSD are configured by the upper layer.

[0084] 5. AI model data reporting

[0085] The data of the AI model includes monitoring data, training data, and inference data. The training of the model includes base station side training or terminal side training.

[0086] In general, when training on the base station side, the terminal needs to report the monitoring data according to a fixed QoS; if the base station collects training data of multiple terminals, it will start training at a unified time node after the collection is completed, and the collection of training data is a relatively long-term process, each terminal needs to report multiple times and continuously, and the training data is also reported according to a fixed QoS.

[0087] For example, in federated learning, multiple terminals independently train using local data and then report the weights or gradients of their local models to the base station. The base station aggregates the model weights or gradients from multiple terminals and then sends the aggregated model weights or gradients to each terminal. This process is repeated until the model converges.

[0088] For distributed inference AI models, there are no side links between multiple terminals. The AI ​​model needs to perform inference across multiple terminals. For example, the first part of the AI ​​model is deployed on the first terminal. After the first terminal completes inference, it sends the first intermediate result to the base station. The base station sends the first intermediate result to the second terminal. The second terminal performs inference based on the first intermediate result and sends the second intermediate result to the base station. The base station sends the second intermediate result to the base station. The base station sends the second intermediate result to the third terminal. The third terminal performs inference based on the second intermediate result and obtains the final model output. Considering the energy consumption of inference and the fact that the terminal may perform other tasks, the terminal performs inference at fixed times. Therefore, it is necessary to report inference data before fixed time nodes (for example, the first terminal needs to report the inference result before the second terminal's inference time). In addition, the inference processing capabilities of different terminals are different, so the inference time of different terminals is also different.

[0089] In a communication system, each type of uplink data corresponds to a fixed logical channel parameter configuration. Each logical channel parameter configuration can be adapted to a QoS stream. The parameters of the logical channel can be configured by the base station. However, the QoS stream corresponding to the uplink data may change (for example, when training an AI model, the parameters corresponding to the model may become abnormal, requiring accelerated reporting). If the previous logical channel parameter configuration is still used, it cannot match the changed QoS stream, and the data may not be transmitted within the scheduled time. Therefore, the parameters of the logical channel need to be updated. Existing communication systems cannot determine whether the logical channel needs to be updated based on changes in QoS.

[0090] In order to determine whether a logical channel needs to be updated when data QoS changes, at least one embodiment of this application provides a configuration update method.

[0091] FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a configuration updating method according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a terminal device side, for example, a terminal or a communication module in the terminal, or a circuit or chip responsible for communication functions in the terminal (such as a Modem chip, also known as a baseband chip, or a System on Chip (SoC) chip or a System in Package (SIP) chip containing a modem core). As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes steps S201-S202:

[0092] Step S201: Obtain monitoring data corresponding to a first model.

[0093] For example, the first model can be an artificial intelligence (AI) model, a neural network model, a big data model, etc., and the monitoring data includes performance data, distribution data, and time data.

[0094] Step S202: Update configuration information of a first channel according to the monitoring data, wherein the first channel is used to transmit all or part of the monitoring data.

[0095] For example, the first channel can be a logical channel as described above, or other channels used to carry model-related data and corresponding to physical layer channels, and the corresponding relationship can be, for example, a mapping of carried data or a mapping of channels.

[0096] For example, the configuration information can include a bit rate and / or a priority of the first channel. The bit rate can be, for example, a PBR as described above, or other parameters representing the data carrying capacity of the channel, which is not limited in the present application. The priority can be a priority for mapping a logical channel to a physical layer channel or a priority for transmitting data carried by a logical channel. For example, the priority of the first channel before updating is a first priority, and the priority of the first channel after updating is a second priority, and the second priority is higher than the first priority. For another example, the bit rate of the first channel before updating is a first bit rate, and the bit rate of the first channel after updating is a second bit rate, and the second bit rate is greater than the first bit rate.

[0097] For example, the data transmitted by the first channel can also include all or part of the training data in the first model, or all or part of the inference data corresponding to the first model.

[0098] Exemplarily, the monitoring data comprises at least one of performance data, time data or distribution data corresponding to the first model, the multi-dimensional monitoring of the model-related parameters is abnormal, and the effectiveness of the model life cycle management is improved. Changes in the monitoring data will affect the QoS corresponding to the data, wherein the performance data may, for example, comprise a communication indicator or a model accuracy (Accuracy), and the communication indicator may, for example, be a throughput or a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) or a reference signal received power (RSRP). The communication indicator may, for example, be measured by a terminal on a system performance or a link quality when the first model is activated. When the above-mentioned communication indicator or accuracy changes greatly within a period of time and has an impact on the training or communication of the model, the configuration information of the first channel can be updated, for example, in response to the performance data satisfying a first performance threshold within a first observation time, the configuration information of the first channel is updated.

[0099] Exemplarily, the distribution data may, for example, be a distribution of input data and output data for model training or a distribution of input data and output data for model inference, and when the input data and output data are abnormal within a second observation time, the configuration information of the first channel is updated. For example, the following cases can be regarded as abnormal input data and output data: the samples of the input data and the output data do not conform to the distribution of the historical input data and the output data; the samples of the input data and the output data do not conform to the distribution of the training input data and the output data; and a drift of the input data and the output data within the observation time is greater than or equal to a first drift threshold.

[0100] The time data may, for example, be a difference between an end time of training data collection of the first model and a transmission time of the training data, and may, for example, be a difference between an end time of aggregation of the first model and a transmission time of model data, and may, for example, be a difference between an end time of inference data collection of the first model and a transmission time of the inference data. The first time threshold may, for example, be a transmission delay of the terminal reporting data, and when the time data is less than the transmission delay, the configuration information of the first channel is updated. The terminal may, for example, receive configuration information indicating the size of the transmission delay through a downlink control information (DCI) or an RRC or a broadcast message.

[0101] The application is divided into an update indicated by a terminal or an update indicated by a network device (for example, a base station) according to the indication of the first channel configuration update. For example, when there is a corresponding uplink transmission resource for transmitting the update request of the first channel, and the transmission delay can ensure the normal training or inference of the first model (that is, the terminal and the network device participating in the training or inference of the first model can complete the input, transmission and output of data according to the predetermined time), the update request of the first channel can be sent to the network device, and then the update indication of the first channel sent by the network device is received, and the terminal updates the configuration information of the first channel according to the update indication. For another example, if there is no transmission resource for transmitting the update request of the first channel, or the delay caused by the terminal reporting the update request of the first channel will cause the first model to be unable to normally train or infer, the terminal can directly indicate the update of the configuration of the first channel. It should be noted that in the case that there is a corresponding uplink transmission resource for transmitting the update request of the first channel, and the transmission delay can ensure the normal training or inference of the first model, the terminal can also indicate the update, which is not limited in the application.

[0102] The following will describe in detail how the application updates the configuration information of the first channel in combination with the above two different update indication methods.

[0103] Method one: the network device indicates the update of the configuration information of the first channel.

[0104] In method one, the terminal determines whether the configuration information of the first channel needs to be updated, for example, by monitoring the performance data, time data and distribution data described above, to determine whether the change of the monitored data will cause the first model to be unable to normally train or infer. If so, the configuration information of the first channel needs to be updated, and the following description is based on the premise that the terminal determines that the first channel needs to update the configuration information.

[0105] Optionally, the terminal can send the identification (ID) of the first channel to the network device. The network device can update the parameters of the first channel according to the default configuration, for example, update the priority and / or bit rate of the first channel according to the default configuration.

[0106] For example, the terminal sends the expected value of the priority and / or bit rate of the first channel after the update to the network device. It should be noted that the expected value is set by the terminal, and the network device needs to send the update indication of the first channel to the terminal device in combination with the existing transmission resource and the expected value, that is, the update information indicated by the network device can be different from the expected value.

[0107] FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D are schematic diagrams of configuration information updating according to at least one embodiment of the present application. The process of setting the above-mentioned expected value by the terminal will be described in detail below in combination with FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D.

[0108] For example, the first channel is transmitted in a first time range (a transmission window of the first channel), the terminal acquires configuration information of one or more second channels (only one second channel is shown in FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D) in the first time range, the second channel is at least one logical channel other than the first channel in the first time range; and the priority of the first channel is updated according to the priority of the second channel, or the bit rate of the first channel is updated according to the bit rate of the second channel, or the priority and bit rate of the first channel are updated according to the priority and bit rate of the second channel. The first time range may, for example, be a transmission window corresponding to the data detected by the terminal to be abnormal, and there is at least one logical channel in the time range of the transmission window, one of which is the first channel, and the other logical channels (i.e. the second channel) are used to transmit other data, for example, communication data irrelevant to the first model.

[0109] As shown in FIG. 3A, the bit rate of one or more second channels (only one is shown in the figure) before updating is lower than the first rate threshold or higher than the bit rate of the first channel, and the bit rate of the first channel can be increased (the increase in bit rate is represented by the increase in channel width in the figure) (for example, by 2 times), so that the bit rate of the first channel after updating is higher than the bit rate of all or part of the second channels.

[0110] As shown in FIG. 3B, the bit rate of the first channel before updating is higher than the second rate threshold, and the priority of one or more second channels (only one is shown in the figure) is higher than the priority of the first channel, and the priority of the current logical channel can be increased (for example, by 3 times) to enable the data carried by the first channel to be transmitted preferentially (the priority is represented by the position of the channel in the figure, and the left channel has a higher priority than the right channel).

[0111] As shown in FIG. 3C, the bit rate of one or more second channels (only one is shown in the figure) before updating is higher than the third rate threshold, and there is a second channel with a priority higher than that of the first channel among the one or more second channels, and the priority and bit rate of the first channel can be increased simultaneously.

[0112] As shown in FIG. 3D, the bit rate and / or priority of the remaining second channels (only one is shown in the figure) is updated (in the figure, the bit rate and priority of the second channel is reduced). It should be noted that the configuration information updating process shown in FIG. 3D updates the configuration information of the second channel, and relatively updates the configuration information of the first channel (by reducing the bit rate and priority of the second channel, the bit rate and priority of the first channel are relatively increased).

[0113] Exemplarily, after receiving the expected value of the first channel configuration information update sent by the terminal, the network device dynamically indicates the bit rate and priority of the updated first channel. The bit rate and priority indicated by the network device can be different from the expected value.

[0114] Optionally, the terminal can also accept the valid time of the configuration update sent by the network device. When the updated time length (i.e., the time after which the updated configuration takes effect) is greater than or equal to the valid time, the configuration information of the first channel is restored to that before the update. For example, the network device indicates that this update is single valid, that is, the terminal performs multiplexing of the first channel according to the updated configuration once, and then restores the first channel to the configuration before the update after the multiplexing is completed. For another example, the network device indicates a valid time window of this update, and the first channel is restored to the configuration before the update after the time window ends. For another example, the network device indicates that this update is valid continuously. The embodiment of the present application can release the transmission resource in time when the transmission task pressure of the first channel is reduced, avoid waste of resources, and improve communication efficiency.

[0115] FIG. 4 is a channel configuration information update time diagram provided by at least one embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, in mode one, the terminal uploads an update request to the network device after determining that the first channel needs to be updated (not shown in the figure), receives update indication information from the network device, and updates the configuration information of the first channel according to the indication information, and then performs multiplexing on the transmission resource corresponding to the current first channel.

[0116] Mode two: the terminal indicates the first channel configuration information update.

[0117] In mode two, the terminal determines whether the configuration information of the first channel needs to be updated, for example, by monitoring the performance data, time data, and distribution data described above, to determine whether the change of the monitored data will cause the first model to be unable to normally train or infer. If so, the configuration information of the first channel needs to be updated. The following describes the case where the terminal determines that the first channel needs to be updated.

[0118] Exemplarily, the terminal obtains the configuration information of one or more second channels in a first time range; and then updates the priority of the first channel according to the priority of the second channel, or updates the bit rate of the first channel according to the bit rate of the second channel, or updates the priority and bit rate of the first channel according to the priority and bit rate of the second channel. The specific updating process can refer to the process of setting the expected value by the terminal in mode one. It should be noted that, since the network device does not need to participate in the indication of the update in mode two, the expected value set by the terminal can be directly used as the update indication to update the configuration information of the first channel.

[0119] Exemplarily, after the configuration information of the first channel is updated, the terminal sends the multiplexed uplink data to the network device through the first channel; optionally, a new MAC-CE can be defined in the uplink data to indicate the first channel ID and / or the updated configuration information, for example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the bit rate of the first channel is updated, and the terminal indicates the updated bit rate and the ID of the first channel in the newly defined MAC-CE.

[0120] In addition to the above-mentioned manner one and manner two, the present application also provides a manner (hereinafter referred to as manner three) for indicating the update of the configuration information of the first channel, that is, updating the configuration information of the first channel according to a predefined or preconfigured mapping relationship, wherein the mapping relationship indicates the relationship between the monitoring data and the configuration information update. By directly updating the configuration information according to the predefined or preconfigured mapping relationship, the delay of data transmission can be reduced, the consumption of terminal or network device computing resources can be reduced, and the efficiency of resource scheduling can be improved.

[0121] The predefined or preconfigured mapping relationship can be stored in the terminal and / or the network device, for example. Exemplarily, when the mapping relationship is stored in the terminal, the terminal can directly update the configuration information of the first channel according to the mapping relationship and the abnormal monitoring data.

[0122] Exemplarily, when the mapping relationship is stored in the network device, the terminal can report the abnormal monitoring data, and the network device can issue an indication of updating the configuration information of the first channel according to the mapping relationship and the abnormal monitoring data.

[0123] Exemplarily, the mapping relationship can be stored in the network device and the terminal at the same time, for example, when there is corresponding uplink transmission resource for transmitting the update request of the first channel, and the transmission delay can ensure the normal training or inference of the first model, the terminal can report the abnormal data, and the network device can issue the first channel update indication according to the mapping relationship and the abnormal data; for another example, when there is no corresponding uplink transmission resource for transmitting the update request of the first channel, or the additional delay caused by the terminal reporting the abnormal data will make the first model unable to normally train or infer, the terminal can directly update the first channel according to the mapping request and the abnormal data indication.

[0124] In a possible implementation manner, when the terminal detects that the time data satisfies the first time threshold (the time data is less than the first time threshold) as described above, the bit rate of the first channel is changed by a first variable; for example, the bit rate of the first channel can be increased by 2 times at this time.

[0125] In a possible implementation, the terminal changes the priority of the first channel by a second variable when detecting that the time data satisfies a second time threshold; for example, the second time threshold is 1 / 4 of the first time threshold, and in this case, the priority of the first channel can be increased by 4 times.

[0126] In another possible implementation, the terminal changes the priority of the first channel by a third variable and changes the bit rate by a fourth variable when detecting that the time data satisfies a third time threshold; for example, the third time threshold can be 1 / 8 of the first time threshold, and in this case, the priority of the first channel can be increased by 8 times, and the bit rate can be increased by 10 times.

[0127] In another possible implementation, the terminal changes the bit rate and / or the priority of the first channel according to the level of abnormality of the distribution data; for example, the level of abnormality of the distribution data can refer to Table 1:

[0128] Table 1

[0129] For example, the terminal detects that the level of abnormality of the distribution data is a first level, and the bit rate of the first channel is changed by a fifth variable, for example, the bit rate is increased by 2 times;

[0130] For example, the terminal detects that the level of abnormality of the distribution data is a second level, and the bit rate of the first channel is changed by a sixth variable, and the priority of the first channel is changed by a seventh variable, for example, the bit rate and the priority are each increased by 2 times;

[0131] For example, the terminal detects that the level of abnormality of the distribution data is a third level, and the bit rate of the first channel is changed by an eighth variable, and the priority of the first channel is changed by a ninth variable, for example, the bit rate and the priority are each increased by 3 times.

[0132] In the embodiments of the present application, by monitoring the model parameters, the channel configuration information of the transmission model parameters is updated according to the corresponding parameter changes of the model, to ensure the adaptability of the channel configuration information to the corresponding parameters of the model, and improve the effectiveness of the model life cycle management.
