[0025] For the purpose of making the technical scheme, advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0026] The network architecture and service scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are for more clearly illustrating the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of network architecture and the appearance of new service scenarios, the technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of a network architecture 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The network architecture 100 can include a terminal device 10, an access network device 20 and a core network element 30.

[0028] The terminal device 10 can refer to a UE (User Equipment), a STA (Station), an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user apparatus. In some embodiments, the terminal device 10 can also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) phone, a WLL (Wireless Local Loop) station, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a 5GS (5th Generation System) or a terminal device in a future evolved PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network), etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For the convenience of description, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as terminal devices. The number of terminal devices 10 is usually multiple, and one or more terminal devices 10 can be distributed in a cell managed by each access network device 20. The terminal device can also be referred to as a terminal or a UE, and those skilled in the art can understand its meaning.

[0029] The access network device 20 is a device deployed in an access network to provide wireless communication functions for the terminal device 10. The access network device 20 can include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, APs (Access Points), and the like. In systems using different wireless access technologies, the names of devices with access network device functions can be different, for example, in a 5G NR (New Radio) system, it is called gNodeB or gNB (Next Generation Node B). With the evolution of communication technology, the name of the "access network device" can change. For ease of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned devices that provide wireless communication functions for the terminal device 10 are collectively referred to as access network devices. In some embodiments, through the access network device 20, a communication relationship can be established between the terminal device 10 and the core network element 30. Illustratively, in an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, the access network device 20 can be an EUTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) or one or more eNodeBs in the EUTRAN; in a 5G NR system, the access network device 20 can be a RAN (Radio Access Network) or one or more gNBs in the RAN. In the embodiments of the present application, the "network device" refers to the access network device 20, such as a base station, unless otherwise specified.

[0030] The core network element 30 is a network element deployed in the core network, and the main functions of the core network element 30 are to provide user connection, manage users, and complete bearer for services, and provide an interface to external networks as a bearer network. For example, the core network element in a 5G NR system can include AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) entities, UPF (User Plane Function) entities, and SMF (Session Management Function) entities.

[0031] In some embodiments, the access network device 20 and the core network element 30 communicate with each other through some air interface technology, such as the NG interface in the 5G NR system. The access network device 20 and the terminal device 10 communicate with each other through some air interface technology, such as the Uu interface.

[0032] The "5G NR system" in the embodiments of the present application can also be referred to as a 5G system or an NR system, but those skilled in the art can understand its meaning. The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present application can be applicable to an LTE system, a 5G NR system, an evolved system (such as a B5G (Beyound 5G) system, a 6G system (6th Generation System, 6th generation mobile communication system)) after the 5G NR system, and other communication systems such as an NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things, Narrow Band Internet of Things) system, and the present application does not limit this.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, a network device can provide services for a cell, and a terminal device communicates with the network device through transmission resources (for example, frequency domain resources, or spectrum resources) on a carrier used by the cell. The cell can be a cell corresponding to the network device (for example, a base station), and the cell can belong to a macro base station or a base station corresponding to a small cell (Small cell). The small cell can include a metro cell, a micro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and the like. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage and low transmit power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.

[0034] Before introducing the technical solutions of the present application, some related technical knowledge involved in the present application will be introduced and explained. The following related technologies can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application in any way, and all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0035] I. Inter-RAN node capability and configuration coordination mechanism in NR system

[0036] Please refer to FIG. 2, which shows an architecture diagram of the control plane of EN-DC (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity) and MR-DC (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity, multi-radio access technology dual connectivity) with 5GC (5G Core Network, 5G core network) provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] Coordination based on Xn interface: In dual connectivity architecture, two base stations connected to a UE coordinate the configuration for the same UE through Xn interface, so as to avoid the sum of the configurations of base station A and base station B for the same UE exceeding the total configuration of the UE. For example, for EN-DC, for UE functions that need to be coordinated between E-UTRA (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access) and NR, the MN (Master Node) should determine how to resolve the dependency between the MN and SN (Secondary Node) configurations. Then, the MN provides the UE functions available for SCG (Secondary Cell Group) configuration to the SN, including the list of allowed MR-DC frequency band combinations and function sets, and the SN indicates the selected frequency band combination and function set to the MN. When subsequently reconfiguring the SCG, the SN should inform the MN as long as the selected frequency band combination and / or function set for the SCG changes (even if the selected frequency band combination and function set are allowed). As part of the SN-initiated SN modification, the SN can also indicate the required UE functions (such as frequency band combinations and function sets) available for SCG configuration outside the range allowed by the MN (i.e., the UE functions for the SCG configuration can be renegotiated), and the MN finally determines whether to accept or reject the request. If the MN accepts the request, the MN can provide the resulting UE capabilities, for example, indicating the allowed frequency band combinations and function sets. This function is implemented through X2 / Xn interface signaling between the MN and the SN.

[0038] Coordination not based on Xn interface: In the multi-card scenario, since the scenario of different operators is considered, it cannot be assumed that there is an interface between RAN (Radio Access Network) nodes, in which case, in order to solve the coordination problem of multiple RAN nodes connected to one UE at the same time, for MUSIM (Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module) operation, when a MUSIM device in the RRC_CONNECTED (RRC (Radio Resource Control) connected state) state in network A needs to transmit or receive in network B (for example, including starting / stopping connection with network B), it can indicate to network A its preference for temporary UE capability limitation or cancellation of limitation. Network A is NR, and network B can be E-UTRA or NR. Only after the network signals through RRC that temporary capability limitation is allowed, can the MUSIM device request temporary capability limitation. After the MUSIM device is configured, it can signal one or more of the following temporary capability limitations or cancellation of limitations to network A:

[0039] 1. The MUSIM device can explicitly request the release of SCell (Secondary Cell) or SCG;

[0040] 2. The MUSIM device can indicate its preference for temporary maximum MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) layers and / or supported channel bandwidth for UL (Up Link) / DL (Down Link) of a particular serving cell;

[0041] 3. The MUSIM device can express its preference for temporary maximum number of CC (Component Carrier) per UL / DL;

[0042] 4. The MUSIM device can show its preference for related frequency bands or frequency band combinations (such as forbidden and / or affected frequency bands or frequency band combinations) according to the network-configured frequency band filtering list. For affected frequency bands and frequency band combinations, the preference can include temporary maximum MIMO layers and / or UL / DL supported channel bandwidth;

[0043] 5. The MUSIM device can indicate the change in measurement gap requirements.

[0044] When network A allows in SIB1, when the MUSIM device has been in the RRC_CONNECTED state of network B, the MUSIM device can indicate its temporary function limitation to network A in the RRCSetupComplete / RRCResumeComplete message. When the MUSIM device is in the RRC_CONNECTED state of both network A and network B, if network B is NR, the network that requests temporary UE capability limitation is selected by the UE; if network B is E-UTRA, temporary UE capability limitation request can only be performed on network A.

[0045] II. AI / ML (Machine Learning)

[0046] 3GPP (The 3rd Generation Partnership Project) has studied how to improve the functionality and performance of 5G air interface through artificial intelligence / machine learning. The research is driven by three use cases.

[0047] 1. Positioning

[0048] 2. Beam management

[0049] 3. Channel state information reporting

[0050] In addition, some research on artificial intelligence lifecycle management is also included, including performance detection and testing.

[0051] Based on the conclusions of the above research, a general framework for applying artificial intelligence / machine learning to the air interface will be defined, and relevant standardization work for artificial intelligence / machine learning in use cases such as positioning and beam management will be carried out. In addition, 3GPP will continue to explore the availability of artificial intelligence / machine learning in other use cases, such as mobility.

[0052] Although the prior art gives a signaling scheme for configuration and capability coordination based on the UE (rather than the Xn interface) for the multi-card scenario, it does not give a specific solution for how the UE specifically splits the capabilities, and considering that this problem may further exist in the 6G system (for example, the UE is connected to both 5G and 6G nodes), the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application uses an AI model to split the capabilities of the UE, thereby facilitating the provision of an optimized capability and configuration coordination scheme.

[0053] Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows a flowchart of the coordination allocation method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is performed by a first device, and the method includes at least one of the following steps 310-320.

[0054] Step 310: The first device acquires or determines first indication information, which is related to the capability information of a terminal device, and the terminal device is in a multi-connection situation.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first indication information is related to the capability information of the terminal device and at least two network devices having a communication connection with the terminal device. In some embodiments, the first indication information is related to the capability information of the terminal device and / or at least two network devices having a communication connection with the terminal device.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first indication information reflects the capability information of the terminal device and / or at least two network devices having a communication connection with the terminal device. In some embodiments, the first indication information reflects the capability information of the terminal device. In some embodiments, the first indication information reflects the capability information of at least two network devices having a communication connection with the terminal device. In some embodiments, the first indication information reflects the capability information of the terminal device and at least two network devices having a communication connection with the terminal device.

[0057] In some embodiments, the terminal device is in a multi-connection situation, which means that the terminal device has a communication connection with multiple network devices, or the terminal device works under multiple communication networks. In some embodiments, the multiple communication networks can be communication networks of the same operator, or can be communication networks of different operators. In some embodiments, the terminal device is in a multi-connection situation, which means that the terminal device establishes a communication connection with multiple network devices, and the communication connection between the terminal device and the multiple network devices can be in an RRC connected state, or in an RRC idle state, or in an RRC inactive state. For example, the terminal device has a communication connection with two network devices, and the communication connection between the terminal device and the two network devices is in an RRC connected state, or the communication connection between the terminal device and one of the two network devices is in an RRC connected state, and the communication connection between the terminal device and the other network device is in an RRC idle state.

[0058] In some embodiments, the terminal device is in a multi-connection situation, which means that the terminal device has a communication connection with N network devices, and the first indication information can reflect the capability information of M network devices, where N and M are positive integers. In some embodiments, M is less than or equal to N.

[0059] For example, M is equal to N, which means that the first indication information can reflect the capability information of all network devices having a communication connection with the terminal device. For example, M is less than N, for example, the first indication information can reflect the capability information of the network devices that need to perform data transmission with the terminal device in the first time period, but cannot reflect the capability information of the network devices that do not need to perform data transmission with the terminal device in the first time period.

[0060] In some embodiments, if the first indication information reflects the capability information of the network devices that need to perform data transmission with the terminal device in the first time period, then the first coordination allocation scheme obtained based on the first indication information can be valid only in the first time period, or can be valid in a second time period, and the length of the second time period is greater than the length of the first time period. In some embodiments, the second time period includes the first time period. In some embodiments, the second time period overlaps with the first time period.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first indication information includes the capability information of the terminal device. The capability information of the terminal device is used to indicate the overall capability and / or configuration supported by the terminal device.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first indication information is determined based on the capability information of the terminal device. In some embodiments, the capability information of the terminal device is preprocessed to obtain the first indication information. In some embodiments, the first indication information includes the preprocessed capability information of the terminal device.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first indication information can be one piece of information or a set of multiple pieces of information, and the present application does not make any limitation in this regard. For example, the first indication information can include at least one of the following information, or one piece of information obtained by combining at least one of the following information. For example, the first indication information is determined based on at least one of the following information.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first indication information is also related to at least one of the following information:

[0065] QoS (Quality of Service) requirement related information of the terminal device, the QoS requirement related information being used to indicate a required QoS requirement to be met;

[0066] Downlink measurement information, the downlink measurement information being signal quality information of a downlink between the network device and the terminal device;

[0067] Uplink measurement information, the uplink measurement information being signal quality information of an uplink between the terminal device and the network device;

[0068] Frequency band information supported by at least two network devices respectively which have a communication connection with the terminal device;

[0069] QoS requirement related information corresponding to the at least two network devices respectively;

[0070] Capability information of the at least two network devices.

[0071] In some embodiments, the QoS requirement related information is used to indicate a required QoS requirement to be met, or in other words, a required QoS requirement to be met for communication between the terminal device and the network device. For example, the QoS requirement related information can include at least one of the following: a data rate threshold, a latency, a jitter threshold, a packet loss rate threshold, and an uplink traffic pattern.

[0072] Data rate, also known as bandwidth, is an indicator of how much data can be transmitted in a given time, which is usually expressed in bits per second (bps). Data rate can also be understood as the average rate of a specific data flow between two nodes of a network.

[0073] Latency is a measure of the time required for a data packet to travel from one point to another, which is usually expressed in milliseconds (ms). Factors that contribute to latency usually include packet latency, propagation latency, queuing latency, and switching latency. Many real-time services such as voice and video are highly intolerant to latency. Interactive sessions are very troublesome when latency exceeds 250 milliseconds. In order to provide high-quality voice and conference television, network devices must be able to guarantee low latency.

[0074] Jitter is a measure of how much the delay between packets varies, usually expressed in ms. If the network becomes congested, it causes packets transmitted over the same connection to have different delays. Jitter is used to describe the degree of delay variation, that is, the time difference between the maximum delay and the minimum delay. Jitter is an important parameter for real-time transmission, especially real-time services such as voice and video, which are extremely intolerant of jitter. Jitter can cause voice or video to be interrupted. Jitter can also affect the processing of some network protocols. Some protocols send interactive messages at fixed time intervals, and excessive jitter can cause protocol oscillation. All transmission systems have jitter, and as long as the jitter is within the specified tolerance (jitter threshold), it will not affect the quality of service.

[0075] Excessive jitter can be overcome by using buffering, but this will increase the latency. Packet loss rate refers to the percentage of the number of lost packets in the total number of transmitted packets during network transmission. A small amount of packet loss has little effect on the service. During normal transmission, the network packet loss rate is controlled within a certain range (packet loss rate threshold).

[0076] In some embodiments, the QoS requirement related information can be determined by the terminal device itself, or can be configured by the network device for the terminal device. In some embodiments, the communication connection between the terminal device and different network devices has different QoS requirements.

[0077] In some embodiments, the downlink measurement information includes signal quality information obtained after performing signal quality measurement on the downlink between the terminal device and the network device. In some embodiments, the downlink measurement information can include at least one of the following: RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power, reference signal received power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality, reference signal received quality), and SINR (Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio, signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio).

[0078] In some embodiments, the uplink measurement information includes signal quality information obtained after performing signal quality measurement on the uplink between the terminal device and the network device. In some embodiments, the uplink measurement information can include at least one of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR.

[0079] In some embodiments, the capability information of the terminal device is used to indicate the overall capability and / or configuration supported by the terminal device. In some embodiments, the capability information of the terminal device refers to the capability information of the physical layer of the terminal device. For example, the capability information of the terminal device includes the modulation and demodulation capability supported by the terminal device, the number of MIMO layers, the transmit and receive diversity capability, the beam capability of beamforming, the maximum transmission rate supported by the physical service channel, and the like.

[0080] In some embodiments, the network device can indicate the frequency band information supported by the network device to the terminal device. For example, the network device sends terminal capability query (UECapabilityEnquiry) information to the terminal device, and the terminal capability query information carries the frequency band information supported by the network device.

[0081] In some embodiments, the capability information of the network device includes the coverage of the network device, the carrier aggregation capability of the network device, and the like.

[0082] In step 320, the first device obtains a first coordination allocation scheme according to the first indication information through an AI model. The first coordination allocation scheme is used to coordinate the capability and / or configuration of the terminal device for at least two connections in a multi-connection scenario.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first coordination allocation scheme includes the capability and / or configuration allocation situation of the terminal device for at least two connections. In some embodiments, the at least two connections correspond one-to-one to at least two network devices in the at least two capability information of the at least two network devices reflected by the first indication information.

[0084] In some embodiments, the structure of the AI model is not limited in the present application. For example, the AI model can be a neural network model, such as a convolutional neural network model, a recurrent neural network model, and the like.

[0085] In some embodiments, the coordination allocation method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a 5G system, and can also be applied to a 6G system.

[0086] The technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application provides a feasible and effective scheme for the terminal device to split the capability and / or configuration for multiple connections in a multi-connection scenario based on the capability information of the terminal device and the capability information of the network device having a communication connection with the terminal device through an AI model to determine a first coordination allocation scheme.

[0087] In some embodiments, the AI model can be used in a network device or a terminal device, that is, the first device can be a network device or a terminal device. In some embodiments, the first device is a network device, and the information interaction process corresponding to the case where the first device is a terminal device is different. The embodiments of the present application will be exemplarily described in classification.

[0088] Example 1, the first device is a terminal device

[0089] In some embodiments, the first device is a terminal device.

[0090] In some embodiments, before step 310, the method further includes at least one of steps 1-2.

[0091] Step 1, the first device receives first QoS indication information sent by the network device, and the first QoS indication information is used to indicate QoS requirement related information of the network device.

[0092] Correspondingly, the network device sends the first QoS indication information.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first device receives first QoS indication information sent by at least two network devices respectively.

[0094] In some embodiments, the QoS requirements required to be met by the communication connection between the terminal device and different network devices are different, and therefore the different network devices need to provide their corresponding QoS requirements respectively.

[0095] In some embodiments, some QoS requirements are known to the terminal device, and therefore do not need to be indicated by the network device, and the first QoS indication information can not include this part of QoS requirements. For example, the uplink service pattern is known to the terminal device, and therefore does not need to be indicated by the network device, and the first QoS indication information can not include this content. In some embodiments, some QoS requirements are unknown to the terminal device and need to be indicated by the network device, and the first QoS indication information includes this part of content. Exemplarily, the first QoS indication information can be used to indicate the QoS parameters configured by the network device. In some embodiments, the QoS parameters include at least one of the following: data rate threshold, delay, jitter threshold, and packet loss rate threshold.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first QoS indication information can be system information sent by the network device, or RRC configuration information sent in the process of establishing a communication connection between the terminal device and the network device, or information specially configured for QoS requirements, which is not limited by the present application.

[0097] In step 2, the first device receives first link indication information sent by the network device, and the first link indication information is used to indicate uplink measurement information between the network device and the terminal device.

[0098] Correspondingly, the network device sends the first link indication information.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first device receives first link indication information sent by at least two network devices respectively.

[0100] In some embodiments, the network device performs uplink measurement on an uplink between the terminal device and the network device to obtain uplink measurement information. In some embodiments, the uplink measurement information can include at least one of RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first QoS indication information and / or the uplink measurement information are obtained separately for each flow, each bearer, each LCH (Logical Channel), and each LCG (Logical Channel Group) between the terminal device and the network device.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first device pre-processes the first QoS indication information sent by at least two network devices respectively and / or the uplink measurement information corresponding to the at least two network devices respectively to obtain the first indication information.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first QoS indication information sent by at least two network devices respectively and / or the uplink measurement information corresponding to the at least two network devices respectively are combined to obtain the first indication information.

[0104] In some embodiments, in addition to the information included in the first QoS indication information and the first link indication information, the first indication information further includes other information, such as capability information of the terminal device and frequency band information supported by the network device. In some embodiments, this part of information is known to the terminal device. For example, this part of information can be pre-configured, or indicated by the network device through a system message, or indicated by the network device in the process of establishing a communication connection with the terminal device, such as indicated through an RRC configuration message.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first QoS indication information and the first link indication information can be sent to the terminal device separately or simultaneously, and the present application does not limit this.

[0106] In some embodiments, after step 320, the method further includes the following step 3.

[0107] The first device sends first information to the first network device, and the first information is used to indicate the first coordinated allocation scheme.

[0108] In some embodiments, the terminal device synchronizes the first coordinated allocation scheme to the network device after determining the first coordinated allocation scheme.

[0109] In some embodiments, the terminal device sends the first information to at least two network devices respectively.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0111] a coordinated allocation scheme related to the first network device;

[0112] a coordinated allocation scheme related to a network device other than the first network device among the at least two network devices;

[0113] capability information of the terminal device.

[0114] In some embodiments, taking the terminal device having a communication connection with the network device 1 and the network device 2 as an example, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device 1, and the first information can include a coordinated allocation scheme related to the network device 1 or a coordinated allocation scheme related to the network device 2.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first information sent to different network devices can include the same or different content. For example, the terminal device has a communication connection with the network device 1 and the network device 2, the first information sent by the terminal device to the network device 1 includes a coordinated allocation scheme related to the network device 1 and a coordinated allocation scheme related to the network device 2, and the first information sent by the terminal device to the network device 2 includes a coordinated allocation scheme related to the network device 2 and capability information of the terminal device.

[0116] Through the above method, the AI model is set on the terminal device side, the terminal device can obtain more information, the amount of information to be transmitted is less, and the information interaction between the terminal device and the network device can be effectively reduced. Correspondingly, the terminal device also requires relatively high computing power and storage capacity.

[0117] Example II, the first device is the first network device

[0118] In some embodiments, the first device is the first network device, and the first network device has a communication connection with the terminal device.

[0119] In some embodiments, before step 310, the method further includes at least one of steps 1-5.

[0120] Step 1, the first device receives second QoS indication information and / or third QoS indication information sent by the terminal device, the second QoS indication information is used to indicate QoS requirement related information of the terminal device, and the third QoS indication information is used to indicate QoS requirement related information of a network device other than the first network device in the at least two network devices.

[0129] Correspondingly, the terminal device sends the frequency band indication information.

[0130] In some embodiments, when determining the first coordination allocation scheme, or when determining the coordination allocation scheme related to the first network device, the needs of the at least two network devices and the capability of the terminal device need to be considered comprehensively, and therefore the information involved in steps 1-5 needs to be obtained.

[0131] In some embodiments, the execution order of steps 1-5 is not limited in the present application.

[0132] In some embodiments, the second QoS indication information, the third QoS indication information, the second link indication information, the third link indication information, the overall capability information and the frequency band indication information involved in steps 1-5 can be different information, or can be different contents in the same information.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first network device is any one of the at least two network devices. In some embodiments, the first network device is configured to determine the first coordinated allocation scheme. In some embodiments, the first network device is configured to determine the coordinated allocation scheme related to the first network device. In some embodiments, if the first network device is configured to determine the first coordinated allocation scheme, the first network device is further configured to indicate the first coordinated allocation scheme to the terminal device after obtaining the first coordinated allocation scheme.

[0134] In some embodiments, the first network device is the master network device of the at least two network devices, and the method further comprises the following step 6.

[0135] Step 6, the first device sends second information to the terminal device, and the second information is used to indicate the coordinated allocation scheme related to the master network device.

[0136] Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the second information.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first network device is configured to determine the first coordinated allocation scheme, and the second information is used to indicate the first coordinated allocation scheme. In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate only the coordinated allocation scheme related to the master network device.

[0138] In some embodiments, the network device other than the first network device of the at least two network devices is the secondary network device, and the second information further comprises the coordinated allocation scheme related to the secondary network device, wherein the coordinated allocation scheme related to the secondary network device is forwarded to the secondary network device by the terminal device. In some embodiments, after the terminal device determines the first coordinated allocation scheme, the terminal device can forward the coordinated allocation scheme related to the secondary network device to the secondary network device.

[0139] In some embodiments, the first network device is any one of the at least two network devices.

[0140] In some embodiments, the first network device is configured to determine only the coordinated allocation scheme related to the first network device. For example, the terminal device has a communication connection with network device 1 and network device 2, network device 1 is configured to determine the coordinated allocation scheme related to network device 1, and network device 2 is configured to determine the coordinated allocation scheme related to network device 2.

[0141] In some embodiments, the method further comprises the following step 7.

[0142] Step 7, the first device sends third information to the terminal device, and the third information sent by the first network device is used to indicate the coordinated allocation scheme related to the first network device, and the first coordinated allocation scheme is determined by the terminal device based on the third information sent by the at least two network devices respectively.

[0143] Correspondingly, the terminal device receives third information.

[0144] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives third information respectively sent by at least two network devices.

[0145] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines the first coordination allocation scheme based on the third information respectively sent by the at least two network devices.

[0146] In some embodiments, since different network devices respectively determine the coordination allocation scheme related to themselves, the final first coordination allocation scheme may exceed the capability and configuration of the terminal device. In this case, the terminal device can modify the first coordination allocation scheme by itself, or report to the network device to modify the first coordination allocation scheme.

[0147] In some embodiments, in the case that the first coordination allocation scheme determined based on the third information respectively sent by the at least two network devices exceeds the overall capability and / or configuration supported by the terminal device, the terminal device sends first feedback information to the master network device, the first feedback information being used to indicate that the first coordination allocation scheme determined based on the third information respectively sent by the at least two network devices exceeds the overall capability and / or configuration supported by the terminal device, and the master network device is a master network device in the at least two network devices.

[0148] In some embodiments, the master network device is a network device where a master cell in which the terminal device resides, or a network device where a master cell group in which the terminal device resides. In some embodiments, the first coordination allocation scheme is processed by the master network device, and the splitting of the capability and configuration of the terminal device is still controlled on the network device side.

[0149] In some embodiments, in the case that the first coordination allocation scheme determined based on the third information respectively sent by the at least two network devices exceeds the overall capability and / or configuration supported by the terminal device, the terminal device modifies the coordination allocation scheme related to the second network device, and sends modification indication information to the second network device, the modification indication information being used to indicate that the terminal device modifies the coordination allocation scheme related to the second network device.

[0150] In some embodiments, the terminal device can modify the coordination allocation scheme related to the second network device based on its own capability, the second network device being any one of the at least two network devices. In some embodiments, the terminal device randomly determines the second network device among the at least two network devices. In some embodiments, the terminal device can also determine which coordination allocation scheme related to a network device to modify based on the priority of communication with the network device. Exemplarily, the coordination allocation scheme related to the network device with the lowest priority is modified first.

[0151] In some embodiments, the modification indication information comprises the modified coordinated allocation scheme.

[0152] In some embodiments, the modification indication information further comprises at least one of the following: capability information of the terminal device, and the coordinated allocation scheme related to the network device other than the second network device among the at least two network devices.

[0153] Through the above method, the AI model is set at the network device side, and the computing and storage capabilities of the network device are stronger than those of the terminal device, which can effectively reduce the requirements on the terminal device.

[0154] As to how the AI model is trained, the present application also provides an exemplary embodiment.

[0155] In some embodiments, the AI model is trained by the second device.

[0156] In some embodiments, the training process of the AI model is the same as the step flow in the use process of the AI model, which will not be repeated here.

[0157] In some embodiments, the second device is a terminal device.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second device is a first network device, and the first network device has a communication connection with the terminal device.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first device and the second device can be the same device or different devices. Exemplarily, the first device and the second device can both be terminal devices or both be first network devices. Exemplarily, the first device is a terminal device, and the second device is a first network device; or the first device is a first network device, and the second device is a terminal device.

[0160] In some embodiments, the QoS result is used as the feedback of the AI model to adjust the parameters of the AI model. That is, the loss function of the AI model is set based on the QoS result. The QoS result refers to the QoS performance of the terminal device after working based on the first coordinated allocation scheme.

[0161] In some embodiments, in the case that the first device is a terminal device and the second device is a first network device, the first device sends fourth information to the first network device, and the fourth information is used to indicate the QoS performance of the terminal device after working based on the first coordinated allocation scheme.

[0162] In some embodiments, when the first device is a first network device and the second device is the first network device, the first device receives fourth information sent by the terminal device, the fourth information being used to indicate the QoS performance of the terminal device after working based on the first coordination allocation scheme.

[0163] In some embodiments, when the second device is a terminal device, the terminal device receives QoS performance indication information, the QoS performance indication information being used to indicate the QoS performance measured by the network device. In some embodiments, the terminal device receives QoS performance indication information sent by at least two network devices respectively.

[0164] In some embodiments, the fourth information includes QoS performance of the terminal device and at least two network devices respectively. In some embodiments, the QoS performance is the QoS performance of the communication link between the terminal device and the network device, and thus the fourth information includes the QoS performance of the communication link between the terminal device and at least two network devices respectively.

[0165] In some embodiments, the fourth information includes at least one of the following: delay, power consumption, resource consumption, packet loss rate, bit error rate, data rate.

[0166] In some embodiments, the AI model can be trained by using a supervised training method or a reinforcement learning method. In some embodiments, if the supervised training method is used, a desired output result needs to be set in advance, and the AI model is trained based on the difference between the output result of the AI model and the desired output result. In some embodiments, since the desired output result is a coordination allocation scheme, it is difficult to set a standard for the desired output result, and thus the output result of the AI model can be tested to obtain a test QoS performance, and the parameters of the AI model are adjusted based on the difference between the desired QoS performance and the test QoS performance.

[0167] In some embodiments, if the training is performed by using the method of reinforcement information, the parameters of the AI model can be iterated during the use of the AI model, and the training of the online AI model can be realized. In some embodiments, the training by using the method of reinforcement learning is to let the AI model learn the optimal behavior strategy through the interaction with the environment to maximize the cumulative reward. The AI model continuously optimizes the decision-making process through trial and error and feedback, so as to achieve the expected goal. In reinforcement learning, the AI model collects experience data through the interaction with the environment, and uses the data to evaluate and update the behavior strategy. Based on the feedback of the reward signal and the value function, the AI model can gradually optimize the strategy to obtain a higher long-term cumulative reward. Illustratively, the output result of the AI model is tested to obtain the corresponding QoS performance, and the AI model determines the optimization strategy based on the QoS performance to adjust the parameters of the AI model. In some embodiments, the method of supervised training can be used first to train an initial AI model, and then the method of reinforcement learning is used to iterate the parameters of the initial AI model.

[0168] In some embodiments, after the stop training condition is met, the training of the AI model is stopped. In some embodiments, the stop training condition can include at least one of the following: the QoS result reaches a preset threshold, and the number of iterations reaches a preset number.

[0169] By training the AI model by the above method, the model parameters of the trained AI model can be more suitable for the application scenario.

[0170] In some embodiments, in order to avoid the overfitting of the AI model during the use or the self-supervised training, or to avoid the problem that the parameters of the AI model are no longer applicable to the current scenario due to the communication connection problem, causing the first coordination allocation scheme output by the AI model to be ineffective, the terminal device can be configured with a first condition. If the first condition is met, the terminal device reports to the network device that the first condition is met, or the terminal device triggers the configuration update of the AI model.

[0171] In some embodiments, the configuration update of the AI model is performed by a third device. In some embodiments, the third device can be a terminal device or a network device. In some embodiments, the third device can be the same as the second device or different from the second device. Illustratively, the third device and the second device are both first network devices or both terminal devices. Illustratively, the third device is a terminal device and the second device is a first network device. Illustratively, the third device is a first network device and the second device is a terminal device. Illustratively, the third device is a second network device and the second device is a first network device. In some embodiments, the third device can be the same as the first device or different from the first device. Illustratively, the third device and the first device are both first network devices or both terminal devices. Illustratively, the third device is a terminal device and the first device is a first network device. Illustratively, the third device is a first network device and the first device is a terminal device. Illustratively, the third device is a second network device and the first device is a first network device.

[0172] In some embodiments, the terminal device triggers the configuration update of the AI model when the first condition is met, where the configuration update of the AI model refers to changing the configuration parameters of the AI model. In some embodiments, the terminal device can perform the configuration update of the AI model by itself. In some embodiments, the configuration update of the AI model refers to retraining the AI model.

[0173] In some embodiments, the terminal device sends second indication information to the first network device when the first condition is met, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the first condition is met. In some embodiments, the terminal device needs to report to the first network device, and the first network device performs the configuration update of the AI model.

[0174] In some embodiments, the first network device triggers the configuration update of the AI model after receiving the second indication information.

[0175] In some embodiments, the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, where the first configuration information is used to configure the terminal device to trigger the configuration update of the AI model when the first condition is met, or to configure the terminal device to send the second indication information to the first network device when the first condition is met.

[0176] In some embodiments, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0177] The QoS requirement related information of the terminal device exceeds or is lower than a first threshold value;

[0178] The downlink measurement information corresponding to at least two network devices exceeds or is lower than a second threshold value;

[0179] the capability and / or configuration of the terminal device required by the first coordinated allocation scheme exceeds or is lower than a third threshold value;

[0180] the QoS result after the terminal device works based on the first coordinated allocation scheme exceeds or is lower than a fourth threshold value;

[0181] receiving indication information for triggering configuration update of the AI model.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the third threshold value and the fourth threshold value are pre-set. In some embodiments, the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the third threshold value and the fourth threshold value can be configured by the network device, or can be predefined or preconfigured.

[0183] In some embodiments, in the case that the third device is the first network device, the indication information for triggering configuration update of the AI model is sent by the second network device to the terminal device, and the second network device is different from the first network device. For example, the terminal device has a communication connection with network device 1 and network device 2, the AI model is trained by network device 1, and the terminal device receives indication information 1 from network device 2, which is used for triggering configuration update of the AI model.

[0184] In some embodiments, the indication information for triggering configuration update of the AI model can be sent by any one of the at least two network devices. In some embodiments, the network device configures the terminal device with the first condition, and if the third device is the terminal device, the network device further configures the terminal device to trigger configuration update of the AI model when the first condition is met.

[0185] In some embodiments, if any one of the communication links between the terminal device and the network device meets the first condition, it is considered that the first condition is met. For example, the terminal device has a communication connection with network device 1 and network device 2, and the QoS requirement related information of the communication link between the terminal device and network device 1 exceeds or is lower than the first threshold value, so it is considered that the first condition is met.

[0186] In some embodiments, if all the communication links between the terminal device and the at least two network devices satisfy the first condition, it is considered that the first condition is satisfied. For example, the terminal device has a communication connection with network device 1 and network device 2, the QoS requirement related information of the communication link between the terminal device and network device 1 exceeds or is lower than the first threshold value, and the QoS requirement related information of the communication link between the terminal device and network device 2 exceeds or is lower than the first threshold value, it is considered that the first condition is satisfied. If only the QoS requirement related information of the communication link between the terminal device and network device 1 exceeds or is lower than the first threshold value, it is considered that the first condition is not satisfied.

[0187] Through the above method, the terminal device can timely report or trigger the configuration update of the AI model, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the model parameters of the AI model in advance when the network connection is poor.

[0188] The use and training method of the AI model involved in the above embodiments can be combined to obtain a new scheme, and examples of which are given in the present application.

[0190] Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a schematic diagram of the training and use process of the AI model according to an embodiment of the present application. In the figure, xNB1 represents a first network device, and xNB2 represents a second network device. The modules represented by solid lines in the figure can form a complete coordination and allocation method, and the modules represented by dashed lines can be replaced, combined with the modules represented by solid lines, to obtain a new coordination and allocation method.

[0191] 1. Training of AI model

[0192] In some embodiments, the second device is the first network device, and the first network device needs to collect at least one of the following information from the terminal device side as input information of the AI model: per-flow, per-bearer, per-LCH, per-LCG, etc.

[0193] 1. QoS requirement related information on the terminal device side (some of this information can be obtained from the CN (Core Network) side, and this part of information does not need to be reported by the UE), for example, UL service pattern and other information. This part of information needs to be information for multiple connections respectively.

[0194] 2. DL measurement information, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR and other information. This information needs to be information for multiple connections respectively.

[0195] 3. UE overall capability information.

[0196] 4. Other network device supported frequency band information, for example, can be indicated to the terminal device through UECapabilityEnquiry (UE capability query) message.

[0197] In some embodiments, the input information of the AI model can be the first indication information determined based on at least one of the above.

[0198] In some embodiments, the output information of the AI model is the first coordinated allocation scheme.

[0199] In some embodiments, the network device needs to collect the following information from the terminal device side as the reward (feedback) of AI model training.

[0200] QoS results, such as the QoS performance, for example, latency, power consumption, resource consumption, etc., obtained by the UE under the above "first coordinated allocation scheme", here mainly for the QoS performance of the terminal device side, this information needs to be for multiple connections respectively.

[0201] In some embodiments, the reward of AI model training can be an indication information determined based on the above information.

[0202] If the training of the AI model is placed on the network device side, considering the computing power and storage of the network device, which is currently stronger than the terminal device, it is more convenient to do model training.

[0203] In some embodiments, the second device is a terminal device (including a server connected with the terminal device), and the terminal device needs to collect (per-flow, per-bearer, per-LCH, per-LCG, etc.) at least one of the following information from the network side as the input of model training.

[0204] 1. Network device side QoS related information (here part of the information can be obtained from the UE side itself, this part of the information does not need to be obtained from the network device side), this information needs to be for multiple connections respectively.

[0205] 2. UL measurement information, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc. Information, this information needs to be for multiple connections respectively.

[0206] In some embodiments, the second device is a terminal device, and the terminal device needs to collect (per-flow, per-bearer, per-LCH, per-LCG, etc.) the following information from the network device side as the reward of AI model training.

[0207] QoS result, e.g. QoS performance, e.g. latency, power consumption, resource consumption, etc. that UE can get under the above-mentioned "first coordinated allocation scheme", here mainly aiming at the QoS performance at the network device side, this information needs to be the information for each of the multiple connections.

[0208] In some embodiments, the reward of AI model training can be an indication information determined based on the above-mentioned information.

[0209] In some embodiments, the training of the above-mentioned AI model can be iterated simultaneously with the use of the AI model, i.e. the training of the AI model is carried out online.

[0210] If the training of the AI model is placed at the terminal device side, considering that the terminal device can obtain more information, the amount of information required to be transmitted is less, but the computing power and storage capacity of the terminal device required are higher.

[0211] 2. Use of AI model

[0212] For the trained AI model, in the use phase of the AI model, the terminal device needs to collect the input information of the AI model. In addition to the information that can be obtained at the terminal device side itself, the UE also needs to obtain some other related information from the network device side.

Network device side QoS related information (here part of the information can be obtained from the UE side itself, this part of the information does not need to be obtained from the network side), e.g. DL service pattern information, etc., this information needs to be the information for each of the multiple connections.

[0214] 2. UL measurement information, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc. information, this information needs to be the information for each of the multiple connections.

[0215] In some embodiments, the input information of the AI model can be direct information, or information further determined / derived through the above-mentioned information.

[0216] In some embodiments, the UE can report the output result of the AI model to the network device, including at least one of the following:

[0217] A. Configuration, capability split for the current connection;

[0218] B. Configuration, capability split for another connection (terminal device and other network device communication connection);

[0219] C. Total of configurations, capabilities supported by the UE.

[0220] In some embodiments, the UE can report the input information related to another connection to the network device.

[0221] 1. Network device side QoS related information (here some information can be obtained from UE side itself, this part of information does not need to be obtained from network side), such as UL service pattern and the like information.

[0222] 2. UL measurement information, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR and the like information.

[0223] Here, by using a trained AI model, it helps the UE to determine whether to configure, how to configure, capability split, and report the output result of the AI model, so that the network device can determine how to configure the parameters according to the result of the UE for capability split.

[0227] 2. When the DL measurement information exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR and the like information;

[0228] 3. When the result of capability and configuration split exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold;

[0229] 4. When the QoS result exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold, for example, the QoS performance obtained by the UE under the above first coordination allocation scheme, such as delay, power consumption, resource consumption and the like, here mainly for the QoS result of the UE side.

[0230] In some embodiments, the above configuration can be for the current connection or other connections.

[0231] In some embodiments, if the network device needs to change the AI model configuration, the network device can directly send an indication information to the UE.

[0232] For the management of the AI model based on the UE, the network device configures the related trigger conditions for AI model configuration change in advance, including at least one of the following:

[0233] 1. When the UE side QoS requirement related information (here some information can be obtained from the CN side, this part of information does not need to be reported by the UE) exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold;

[0234] 2. When DL measurement information exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc. information;

[0235] 3. When the result of capability, configuration splitting exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold;

[0236] 4. When the QoS result exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold, for example, the QoS performance, such as latency, power consumption, resource consumption, etc., obtained by the UE under the above-mentioned first coordinated allocation scheme, here mainly for the QoS result of the UE side.

[0237] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned configuration can be for the current connection, or other connections.

[0238] In some embodiments, when a certain trigger condition is met, the UE reports the model change information to the network device. In some embodiments, the reported model change information contains the trigger condition of the model change.

[0239] Based on the management of the AI model of the network device, the network device can monitor the use of the AI model in real time and adjust the model parameters in a timely manner. Based on the management of the AI model of the terminal device, the AI model parameter change can be configured in advance when the network connection is poor, and the UE can independently adjust the model parameters when the relevant situation occurs.

[0256] In some embodiments, the reward of the AI model training can be a first indication information determined based on the above information.

[0257] If the training of the AI model is placed on the network device side, considering the computing power and storage of the network device, which are currently stronger than the terminal device, it is more convenient to do model training.

[0259] 1. Network device side QoS related information (some of which can be obtained from the UE side itself, and this part of information does not need to be obtained from the network device side), which needs to be information for multiple connections respectively.

[0260] 2. UL measurement information, including RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc. Information, which needs to be information for multiple connections respectively.

[0276] In some embodiments, the use stage can adopt different ways to process the first coordinated allocation scheme:

[0277] 1. Take one of the multiple RAN nodes as the master node to derive (set the AI model on the master node), and the output result is sent to other nodes through the UE.

[0278] 2. Multiple RAN nodes independently derive (each RAN node sets a separate AI model) to obtain their own capabilities and configuration splitting situations. If the summed capability exceeds the overall UE capability, the following methods can be used to handle it:

[0279] a) UE reports to the network device, which is solved by the master node;

[0280] b) UE modifies the output result of the network device and indicates the affected nodes of the capability and configuration.

[0281] Here by using a trained AI model, help UE determine whether, how to configure, capability split, report AI model output results to facilitate network equipment to determine how to configure parameters according to the results of UE for capability split.

[0287] 4. When the QoS result exceeds or is lower than a certain threshold, for example, the QoS performance obtained by UE under the above first coordination allocation scheme, such as delay, power consumption, resource consumption, etc., here mainly for UE side QoS result.

[0288] In some embodiments, the above configuration can be for the current connection, or other connections.

[0289] In some embodiments, if the network equipment needs to change the AI model configuration, the network equipment can directly send indication information to the UE.

[0290] For the management of AI model based on UE, the network equipment configures the related trigger conditions for AI model configuration change in advance, including at least one of the following:
