[0034] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method, which includes: sending first information, the first information being used to request one or more computing powers required by a first device, and the first information including first computing power information corresponding to the one or more computing powers.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the first information is sent to request one or more computing powers required by a first device, wherein the first information includes first computing power information corresponding to the one or more computing powers requested, so as to realize sharing of computing powers and improve communication efficiency. The first computing power information included in the first information can facilitate a second device to allocate computing powers to the first device. The second device is a device that shares computing powers with the first device.

[0036] In some embodiments in combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information is used to request a plurality of computing powers required by the first device; the first information includes one first computing power information, the one first computing power information corresponding to the plurality of computing powers; or the first information includes a plurality of first computing power information, each of the first computing power information corresponding to one of the computing powers.

[0037] In the above embodiments, when the first device wants to request multiple computing powers, the first device can indicate a total computing power information, that is, the first information can include a first computing power information, and the first computing power information corresponds to the multiple computing powers. The first device indicating a total computing power information can save the bit of the first information, save resources, and the second device can also directly allocate a total computing power information based on the first computing power information, and the terminal can determine by itself to which service requiring computing power the total computing power information is allocated, that is, the terminal can freely allocate the computing power, and the calculation amount and power consumption of the network device side are saved.

[0038] In some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving second information, the second information including at least one of the following: response information of the first information; second computing power information; a period value corresponding to a resource; a time offset value corresponding to a resource; a time offset difference value, the time offset difference value representing a difference between the time offset value of the computing power resource and the time offset value of the transmission resource; a number of times of providing a resource by the second device; a time interval between every two resources provided by the second device; a first identifier, the first identifier being used to identify an AI model; a second identifier, the second identifier being used to identify the request corresponding to the one or more computing powers; a transmission resource, the transmission resource being used to transmit data corresponding to the computing power; and wherein the resource includes at least one of the computing power resource and the transmission resource.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the second information can be received, and the second information can include, for example, response information of the first information, that is, information informing the first device whether its request is accepted, so that the first device can proceed with the next step, for example, if the request is not accepted, the first device can request computing power from other devices in a timely manner. The second information can include, for example, second computing power information, which is computing power information allocated to the first device, so that the first device can provide computing power service based on the corresponding computing power information, improving communication efficiency. For example, the second information includes a period value, a time offset value, a number of times, a time interval, etc. corresponding to a resource, so that the first device can transmit data at an accurate time and monitor data processing results. For example, the second information can include a first identifier for identifying an AI model, so that the second device can determine whether there is a corresponding AI model that can provide computing power for it, or the second device can determine whether to provide computing power for the first device based on the size and structure of the AI model.

For example, the first device can simultaneously request computing power from multiple devices including the second device, or the first device can send multiple requests to the second device. The second device can include the identifier of the request in the second information to identify which request is responded to. If the current request is not accepted, the first device can send a request again in the future, and the second device can determine the first computing power information and other information of the computing power requested by the first device by carrying the request ID, reducing resource consumption.

For example, the first device requests multiple computing powers, and multiple second computing power information can be allocated to it, that is, the second device can allocate computing power information to each of the multiple computing powers requested by the first device, so that the second device can control the allocation of computing power and know the allocation of computing power information without the terminal allocating it again, saving the power consumption of the terminal.

The second device can also assign the same period value to the transmission resource and the computing resource, to save resources. The second device can respectively assign a time offset value to the transmission resource and the computing resource, to achieve mutual independence and more flexible control of the time offset value.

[0150] In some embodiments, the terms of “send”, “transmit”, “report”, “issue”, “transmit”, “bidirectional transmission”, “send and / or receive” can be replaced with each other.

[0151] In some embodiments, the first information is used to request one or more computing capabilities required by the first device. Different computing capabilities can correspond to different computing tasks. For example, the first information can request one computing capability required by the first device, which can be used for model inference or data processing or model training or image processing, but is not limited thereto. The first device can request the second device to provide the computing capability and perform model inference or data processing or model training or image processing based on the computing capability. For another example, the first information can request multiple computing capabilities required by the first device, which can be used for model inference, data processing, model training, and image processing, respectively.

[0152] In some embodiments, a computing capability can refer to the ability of a node with computing capability in a network to achieve a specific result output through processing of data. For example, it can include but is not limited to computing, read-write (memory or storage) capability.

That is, each type of computing capability can correspond to a processing unit. Exemplarily, the types of computing capabilities can include at least one of the following: CPU type; DPU type; FPGA type; GPU type; NPU type; TPU type. For example, different types of computing capabilities can be used to process different computing tasks, and the corresponding computing capability information can also be different. For example, the GPU type computing capability can be used to process images, and the present disclosure does not enumerate one by one.

[0155] In some embodiments, the types of computing capabilities can also be classified according to time domain characteristics. For example, computing capabilities classified according to time domain characteristics include at least one of the following types: periodic type; semi-persistent type; aperiodic type.

[0157] In some embodiments, the service type can also be referred to as a resource type. For example, the service type can include a Non-Guaranteed Bit Rate (Non-GBR) type. The Non-GBR type can refer to a network service type without a specific minimum transmission rate guarantee, which can be suitable for applications that do not have strict requirements on transmission rate or can tolerate fluctuations. For another example, the service type can include a Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) type. The GBR type can refer to a network service type with a specific minimum transmission rate guarantee, which can be suitable for applications that have high requirements on network stability and transmission rate.

[0158] In some embodiments, the Packet Delay Budget can include a core network Packet Delay Budget. For example, the Packet Delay Budget can be a Packet Delay Budget set by a PDU.

[0160] In some embodiments, the Packet Error Rate can include an error rate set by a PDU.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first information can comprise a type of the requested one or more computing powers. Different computing powers correspond to different computing tasks.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first information comprises first computing power information of the one or more computing powers. The first computing power information can represent a range of computing power, a computing amount, a size of computing power, a computing power value, etc. The second device can determine whether to provide computing power to the first device or how to allocate the provided computing power to the first device based on the first computing power information comprised in the first information. For example, if the range of computing power represented by the first computing power information exceeds a threshold, the second device can not provide computing power, i.e., reject the request of the first device. Conversely, if the range of computing power represented by the first computing power information does not exceed the threshold, the second device can provide computing power, i.e., accept the request of the first device. The threshold can be determined according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the present disclosure. For another example, the first information comprises first computing power information corresponding to each computing power, and the first device can allocate a second computing power information to each computing power based on the first computing power information corresponding to each computing power. For example, the second computing power information can be less than or equal to the first computing power information. For example, when the second device has sufficient computing power left, the second computing power information can be equal to the first computing power information for each computing power. When the second device has insufficient computing power left, the second computing power information can be relatively smaller than the first computing power information for each computing power. Alternatively, only part of the requested computing power can be allocated with the second computing power information equal to the first computing power information corresponding to the part of the computing power.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first information is used to request a plurality of computing powers required by the first device, different computing powers corresponding to different computing tasks. The first information includes one first computing power information, and one first computing power information corresponds to a plurality of computing powers. Alternatively, the first information includes a plurality of first computing power information, and each first computing power information corresponds to one computing power. For example, when the first device needs to request a plurality of computing powers, the total computing power information of the plurality of computing powers can be included in the first information, or the computing power information corresponding to each computing power can be included in the first information. When the first information includes one total computing power information, the second device can allocate one total second computing power information based on one total first computing power information, so that when the terminal receives the second computing power information, the terminal can allocate appropriate computing power information for each computing power, improve flexibility, and save the computing amount and power consumption of the network device side. When the first information includes the computing power information corresponding to each computing power, the second device can allocate the total computing power information for the plurality of computing powers requested by the first device, or allocate the computing power information respectively. If the computing power information is allocated respectively, the second device can control the allocation of the computing power and know the allocation of the computing power information, and the terminal does not need to allocate again, saving the power consumption of the terminal.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first computing power information can be represented in at least one of the following ways: based on a pre-configured use corresponding to the computing power in a plurality of uses, and represented by the first computing power information corresponding to the use in a plurality of computing power information corresponding to the use; or, represented by the first computing power information in a plurality of pre-configured computing power information; or, represented by the model information of an AI model.

[0169] In some embodiments, the terms "pre-configured", "certain", "preseted", "preset", "set", "indicated", "certain", "arbitrary", "first" and the like can be replaced with each other, and "certain A", "preset A", "preset A", "set A", "indicated A", "certain A", "arbitrary A", "first A" can be interpreted as A specified in advance in a protocol or the like, or can be interpreted as A obtained by setting, configuring, or indicating, or can be interpreted as certain A, certain A, arbitrary A, or first A, but is not limited thereto.

[0170] Alternatively, the first computing power information can be represented based on a pre-configured use corresponding to the computing power requested by the first device in a plurality of uses, and the first computing power information corresponding to the use in a plurality of computing power information corresponding to the use. For example, the use of the requested computing power can be indicated first. The use may, for example, include model training, model derivation, data processing, image processing, and the like, but is not limited thereto. Different uses correspond to different computing power ranges and different quantization gradients. Different uses can also correspond to different computing power types, such as GPU type, DPU type, TPU type, etc., which are not listed one by one.

[0171] Exemplarily, for model training, the corresponding computing power range can be 0-300 million (M), and the quantization gradient can be 100M, that is, the computing power information corresponding to the model training can include 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, and greater than 300M. The first device can first indicate that the use of the computing power is model training, and then use the first number of bit positions to represent the first computing power information in the plurality of computing power information. For example, the first number can be 2, and the bit corresponding to 0-100M can be 00. When 00 is indicated, it means that the first computing power information is 0-100M, and the first device requests 0-100M of computing power. Correspondingly, the bit corresponding to 100M-200M can be 01, the bit corresponding to 200M-300M can be 10, and the bit corresponding to greater than 300M can be 11. It can be understood that the values in the embodiment are exemplary and are not limited thereto.

[0172] Exemplarily, for model training, the corresponding computing power range can be 0-300 million (M), and the quantization gradient can be 100M, that is, the computing power information corresponding to the model training can include 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, and greater than 300M. The first device can first indicate that the use of the computing power is model training, and then use the first number of bit positions to represent the first computing power information in the plurality of computing power information. For example, the first number can be 2, and the bit corresponding to 0-100M can be 00. When 00 is indicated, it means that the first computing power information is 0-100M, and the first device requests 0-100M of computing power. Correspondingly, the bit corresponding to 100M-200M can be 01, the bit corresponding to 200M-300M can be 10, and the bit corresponding to greater than 300M can be 11. It can be understood that the values in the embodiment are exemplary and are not limited thereto.

[0173] Of course, the present disclosure is only exemplified by model training and model derivation, and is not limited thereto.

[0174] Optionally, the first computing power information can be represented based on the plurality of preconfigured computing power information. For example, the use of the computing power can not be indicated, and the first computing power information can be directly indicated. For example, the first computing power information can be represented using a second number of bit positions. The second number is greater than or equal to the first number. It can be understood that when the use is not distinguished, in order to represent the same range size of computing power, more bit positions are required, or the quantization gradient is greater.

[0175] Optionally, the first computing power information can be represented based on the model information of the AI model. For example, different models require different sizes of computing power when used. The first computing power information can be predicted according to the model information of the AI model.

[0176] In some embodiments, the model information of the AI model comprises at least one of: a structure of the AI model; a number of layers of the AI model; a number of hidden nodes of each layer of the AI model; a number of parameters of each layer of the AI model; a form of output data of the AI model; a form of input data of the AI model; a size of the AI model; a data volume corresponding to training of the AI model; an input data volume corresponding to inference of the AI model; and an output data volume corresponding to inference of the AI model.

[0177] Optionally, the model information can comprise a structure of the AI model. For example, the structure of the AI model comprises a structure of linear regression, a structure of recurrent neural network, a structure of convolutional neural network, etc., but is not limited thereto. Different structures correspond to different computing power information. For example, for the structure of linear regression, there is no hidden layer between the input layer and the output layer, the structure is relatively simple, and the computing power required for using the linear regression model is also small. For example, for the structure of recurrent neural network, there is a recurrent layer, the structure is relatively complex, and the computing power required for using the recurrent neural network model is also relatively large. However, it can be understood that the structure of the model is only one of the characteristics of the computing power information, and the computing power is not only determined by the model structure. Therefore, the size relationship in the above examples is only relative and is not limited.

[0178] Optionally, the model information can comprise a number of layers of the AI model. The layers of the AI model can comprise an input layer, an output layer, a hidden layer, a convolutional layer, a recurrent layer, a fully connected layer, etc. The number of layers of the AI model represents the number of layers of the AI model. For example, the more the number of layers of the AI model, the greater the represented computing power information.

[0179] Optionally, the model information can comprise a number of hidden nodes of each layer of the AI model. For example, the more the number of hidden nodes of each layer of the AI model, the greater the represented computing power information.

[0180] Optionally, the model information can comprise a form of input / output data of the AI model. For example, the more complex the form of input / output data, the greater the represented computing power information.

[0181] Optionally, the model information can comprise a data volume of input / output of the AI model. For example, the greater the data volume of input / output of the AI model, the greater the represented computing power information.

[0182] Optionally, the model information can comprise a size of the AI model. The size of the AI model can refer to a number of parameters of the AI model, a storage space occupied by the AI model, etc. For example, the larger the AI model, the greater the represented computing power information.

[0183] Optionally, the model information can comprise a data volume corresponding to training of the AI model. For example, the greater the data volume corresponding to training of the AI model, the greater the represented computing power information.

[0184] In some embodiments, the representation manner of the second computing power information can be at least one of the representation manners of the first computing power information in the above examples. The representation manner of the second computing power information can be the same as or different from the representation manner of the first computing power information.

[0185] In some embodiments, the first information is carried by at least one of the following: Radio Resource Control (RRC), including at least one of DL RRC, UL RRC and SL RRC; Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), including at least one of Downlink (DL) MAC CE, uplink (UL) MAC CE and sidelink (SL) MAC CE; Uplink Control Information (UCI); Downlink control information (DCI); Sidelink control information (SCI); Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH); Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH); Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH); Physical Side-link Control Channel (PSCCH); and Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).

[0189] In some embodiments, the terms "downlink control information (DCI)", "downlink (DL) assignment", "DL DCI", "uplink (UL) grant", "UL DCI", etc. can be replaced with each other.

[0190] In some embodiments, the terms "physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)", "DL data", etc. can be replaced with each other, and the terms "physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)", "UL data", etc. can be replaced with each other.

[0191] In some embodiments, the terms "radio", "wireless", "radio access network (RAN)", "access network (AN)", "RAN-based", etc. can be replaced with each other.

[0192] In some embodiments, the first information name is not limited, which can be "computing power state information", "request information", etc., but is not limited thereto. Wherein, the computing power state information can be information representing the computing power state of the terminal, for example, when the computing task to be processed by the terminal exceeds the computing power currently possessed by the terminal, the computing power of the terminal is negative, which is a computing power state of the terminal.

[0193] Step S2102, the second device 102 sends the second information to the first device 101.

[0194] In some embodiments, the first device 101 receives second information sent by the second device 102.

[0195] In some embodiments, the second information includes at least one of the following: response information of the first information; second computing power information; a period value corresponding to a resource; a time offset value corresponding to the resource; a time offset difference value, the time offset difference value representing a difference between the time offset value of the computing power resource and the time offset value of the transmission resource; a number of times the second device provides the resource; a time interval between every two times the second device provides the resource; a first identifier, the first identifier being used to identify an AI model; a second identifier, the second identifier being used to identify one or more computing power corresponding requests; a transmission resource, the transmission resource being used to transmit data of a computing task corresponding to the computing power; wherein the resource includes at least one of the computing power resource and the transmission resource. It can be understood that the data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power can also be referred to as the data corresponding to the computing power. It can be understood that the data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power and the data corresponding to the computing power have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0196] Optionally, the second information can include the response information of the first information. The response information can indicate whether the second device accepts the request of the first device.

[0197] Optionally, the second information can include the second computing power information. For example, if the second device accepts the request of the first device, the second computing power information indicating the allocated computing power information can be indicated to the first device.

[0198] Optionally, the second information can include a period value corresponding to a resource. The resource includes at least one of the computing power resource and the transmission resource. The period value of the computing power resource can indicate how often the second device provides the computing power. The period value of the transmission resource can indicate how often the first device transmits the data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power. The data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power may, for example, include an image corresponding to image processing, data corresponding to data processing, speech corresponding to online translation, data for AI model training, data for AI model derivation, and the like, without being limited thereto.

[0199] Optionally, the second information can include a time offset value corresponding to a resource. The resource includes at least one of the computing power resource and the transmission resource. The time offset value corresponding to the computing power resource can indicate that the second device starts to provide the computing power at a time after the time offset value. The time offset value of the computing power resource can also be used for the first device to start monitoring the processing result of the second device based on the computing power at a time after the time offset value. The time offset value of the transmission resource can indicate that the first device starts to send the data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power based on the transmission resource at a time after the time offset value.

[0200] Optionally, the second information can include a time offset difference value, the time offset difference value representing a difference between the time offset value of the computing resource and the time offset value of the transmission resource. For example, the second information can include the time offset value of the transmission resource and the time offset difference value. Then, the first device can determine the time offset value of the computing resource based on the time offset value of the transmission resource and the time offset difference value. For another example, the second information includes the time offset value of the computing resource and the time offset difference value. Then, the first device can determine the time offset value of the transmission resource based on the time offset value of the computing resource and the time offset difference value. It can be understood that the second information can include the time offset value and the time offset difference value corresponding to one of the computing resource and the transmission resource, and the time offset value of the other can be determined, so as to save the occupied bit.

[0201] Optionally, the second information can include the number of times of providing the resource by the second device. The resource includes at least one of the computing resource and the transmission resource. When the computing resource is multiple times, the second information can include the number of times corresponding to each computing resource, wherein each time corresponds to a different time.

[0202] Optionally, the second information can include the time interval between each two times of providing the resource by the second device. The resource includes at least one of the computing resource and the transmission resource. When the second device provides multiple times of the resource, the time interval between each two times of providing the resource can be indicated in the second information.

[0203] Optionally, the second information can include a first identifier, the first identifier being used to identify the AI model. For example, the second device can send the first identifier corresponding to the started AI model to the first device through the second information. For example, when the first device requests the computing resource of multiple AI models, and the second device can provide the computing resource of all the AI models requested by the first device, or can only provide the computing resource of part of the AI models, the second device can inform the first device of the first identifier corresponding to the started AI model. Correspondingly, the first information can also include the first identifier to indicate which AI model or AI models are requested.

[0204] Optionally, the second information can include a second identifier, the second identifier being used to identify the request corresponding to the one or more computing powers. For example, the first device can simultaneously request computing powers from multiple devices including the second device; or the first device can send multiple computing power requests to the second device; or the first device sends one computing power request to the second device, but the one computing power request contains multiple computing power information, wherein different computing power information corresponds to different computing tasks. Then the second device can include the identifier of the request in the second information to identify which computing power request or which computing power information is responded. Correspondingly, the first information can also include the second identifier to identify the computing power request or the computing power information. After the second device rejects the computing power request of the first device, the same computing power request can be made again by only carrying the second identifier.

[0205] Optionally, the second information can include a transmission resource, the transmission resource being used to transmit data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power. The transmission resource can include, for example, time domain resource, frequency domain resource, code domain resource, port resource, beam resource, etc. The data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power is described above with reference to the embodiments, and the disclosure will not be repeated here. The transmission resource is included in the second information so that when the first device receives the second information and the second device accepts the request of the first device, the first device can directly start transmitting the data of the computing task corresponding to the computing power based on the transmission resource. That is, including the transmission resource in the second information can reduce the latency and reduce the signaling overhead of allocating the transmission resource.

[0206] In some embodiments, the terms “moment”, “time point”, “time”, “time position” can be replaced with each other, and the terms “duration”, “time period”, “time window”, “window”, “time” can be replaced with each other.

[0207] In some embodiments, the first identifier can be a model ID of the AI model, or can be a function ID of an AI functionality corresponding to the AI model.

[0208] In some embodiments, the second identifier can also be referred to as a request identifier or a computing power information identifier or a computing power request identifier or a computing power identifier, but is not limited thereto.

[0209] In some embodiments, the second information can include a second computing power information, and the second computing power information corresponds to one or more computing powers, and different computing powers correspond to different computing tasks. For example, when the first device requests a computing power and includes a first computing power information corresponding to the computing power in the first information, the second device can allocate a second computing power information corresponding to the first computing power information to the first device. The second computing power information may, for example, be less than or equal to the first computing power information. For another example, when the first device requests multiple computing powers and includes a total computing power information or a computing power information corresponding to each computing power in the first information, the second device can allocate a total computing power information, i.e., a second computing power information, to the first device based on the total computing power information or the computing power information corresponding to each computing power.

[0210] In some embodiments, the second information can include multiple second computing power information, and each second computing power information corresponds to a computing power. For example, when the first device requests multiple computing powers and sends a second computing power information corresponding to each computing power in the first information, the second device can allocate multiple second computing power information to the first device. Each second computing power information corresponds to a computing power. Different computing powers correspond to different computing tasks.

[0309] The present disclosure provides a communication method, as follows:

[0310] In some embodiments, the terminal sends the first information, including the required computing amount and / or computing power range.

[0311] In some embodiments, the required computing amount and / or computing power range can be the first computing power information in the above-mentioned embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0312] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one computing amount and / or computing power range.

[0313] In some embodiments, the case of including one is that the terminal only reports one computing amount and / or computing power range even if the terminal needs to request computing power services for multiple model inferences or data processing.

[0314] In some embodiments, the case of including multiple is that the terminal reports multiple computing amount and / or computing power ranges, such as for different model inferences, data processing, model training, and the like, and the terminal respectively reports the corresponding computing amount and / or computing power range.

[0315] In some embodiments, the network device allocates computing power for the terminal. The network device sends second information to the terminal.

[0316] In some embodiments, the second information includes the computing power size allocated by the network device for the terminal.

[0317] In some embodiments, the computing power size allocated by the network device for the terminal can be the second computing power information in the above-mentioned embodiments, but is not limited thereto.

[0318] In some embodiments, in the case where the terminal only reports one computing amount and / or computing power range, the network device can allocate a computing power value smaller than the reported value of the terminal.

[0319] In some embodiments, when the terminal reports multiple calculation amounts and / or computing power ranges (each corresponding to a different or corresponding request identity (ID)), the network device can assign a computing power value to at least one of them.

[0320] In some embodiments, the network device can also assign a total computing power value, and the terminal can self-distribute.

[0321] In some embodiments, further, for at least one assigned computing power value, the following information can be further given:

[0322] Period;

[0323] Time interval corresponding to two computing powers;

[0324] Number of times.

[0325] In some embodiments, the second information can also include a model ID, a computing power request ID, or a functionality ID.

[0326] In some embodiments, the second information also includes time-frequency resources.

[0327] In some embodiments, both computing power resources and time-frequency resources are assigned, and computing power resources and time-frequency resources are assigned for at least one computing power request.

[0328] In some embodiments, if both computing power resources and time-frequency resources are periodic, their periods can be shared.

[0329] In some embodiments, the time offset value can only indicate the time offset value of the time-frequency resource, and the time offset value of the computing power resource is controlled by the network device itself, that is, the network device starts to provide computing power service to process data after receiving the data that needs to be processed. Or indicate two time offset values, the main purposes of indicating the time offset value of the computing power resource include: the terminal needs to monitor the reception of the processing result of the processing data corresponding to the PDCCH, etc. at the time after the time offset value; or the time offset value of the time-frequency resource and the time offset value of the computing power resource are independently indicated; or the time offset value of the time-frequency resource is indicated, and then the time interval between the computing power resource and the time-frequency resource is indicated.

[0330] In some embodiments, if both computing power resources and time-frequency resources are multiple, the number of times is the same. That is, the computing power resources and time-frequency resources assigned by the network device are corresponding, that is, one time-frequency resource is used for the transmission of the data corresponding to the processing of one computing power resource. Or when computing power resources and time-frequency resources are assigned at the same time, the periods, time offset values, etc. are independently indicated

[0331] In some embodiments, the required calculation amount and / or computing power range can be indicated in different ways.

[0332] In some embodiments, the computing amount / computing power range indication method comprises at least one of the following:

[0333] 1) The use type of the requested computing amount / computing power can be indicated first: for data processing, model training or model inference; and then the range of the computing amount / computing power for the corresponding use is indicated. For example, the quantization gradient and range of the computing amount / computing power for each use are different.

[0334] For example, model training:

[0335] Bit 00 corresponds to 0-100M;

[0336] Bit 01 corresponds to 100M-200M;

[0337] Bit 10 corresponds to 200M-300M;

[0338] Bit 11 corresponds to 300M-∞. Where ∞ represents positive infinity. 300M-∞ represents a computing power range greater than or equal to 300M.

[0339] For example, model inference:

[0340] Bit 00 corresponds to 0-10M;

[0341] Bit 01 corresponds to 10M-20M;

[0342] Bit 10 corresponds to 20M-30M;

[0343] Bit 11 corresponds to 30M-∞. 30M-∞ represents a computing power range greater than or equal to 30M.

[0344] 2) The range of the computing amount / computing power is directly indicated. This is equivalent to not distinguishing between different uses and directly indicating. Compared to first distinguishing the use, either the number of bits is more or the quantization gradient is larger.

[0345] 3) Indicated by model information.

[0346] In some embodiments, the model information comprises at least one of the following: the structure of the model, the number of layers of the model, the number of hidden nodes of each layer, the number of parameters of each layer, the form of output, the form of input, and the ID of the model (which can uniquely identify the model on the network side).

[0347] In some embodiments, the first information can be sent based on RRC, MAC CE, or UCI.

[0348] In some embodiments, the first information can also be referred to as computing power state information, that is, the computing power request is also one of the computing power states. For example, when the computing power request is negative.
