[0192] The following embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1, or to some of the main bodies, but are not limited thereto. The main bodies shown in FIG1 are illustrative. The communication system may include all or some of the main bodies in FIG1, or may include other main bodies outside of FIG1. ​​The number and form of each main body are arbitrary.

[0194] Research in mobile communications has proposed that communication systems can provide more multi-dimensional artificial intelligence (AI) services. For example:

[0195] AI-enabled connectivity refers to using AI methods to improve communication performance, such as using AI for beam management.

[0196] Computing power services refer to the network side providing computing power to the terminal side, such as helping the terminal with model training and model inference.

[0197] Ultimate AI service refers to enhancing the transmission channels of communication systems to improve the experience of AI application services.

[0198] In the future, communication networks will not only provide connectivity services to terminals, but also computing power services. That is, when a terminal needs to process a computing task, it can upload the computing task to the network for processing by network devices.

[0199] When a terminal requests computing power from the network, it often involves data exchange. This includes data input and output during model inference, and intermediate data exchanged between different training nodes during distributed model training. In general, AI computing tasks require both computational and communication resources. Therefore, the coordination of computing resource management and transmission resource management (i.e., communication connection management) must be considered when requesting, transmitting, and responding to computing tasks.

[0200] The information transmission method provided in this disclosure is used to realize the computing power resources and transmission resources required for coordinating computing tasks.

[0201] The information transmission method and apparatus provided in this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0210] In some embodiments, terms such as "first information," "computing power requirement information," and "computing power requirement" can be used interchangeably.

[0211] In some embodiments, terms such as “for indicating,” “for describing,” “for characterizing,” and “for illustrating” can be used interchangeably.

[0212] In some embodiments, the first information may include the amount of computing resources required, the type of computing resources required, and so on.

[0213] In some embodiments, the required computing resources can be represented by specific numerical values.

For example, if the required computing resources are within a first range, they can be represented by the indicator "00"; if the required computing resources are within a second range, they can be represented by the indicator "01", and so on.

[0215] In some embodiments, different indicators can be used to indicate the level to which the required computing power resources belong. For example, the required computing power resources are divided into three levels: high, medium, and low. The indicator "00" indicates that the required computing power resources are low-level, "01" indicates that the required computing power resources are medium-level, "11" indicates that the required computing power resources are high-level, and so on.

[0216] In some embodiments, a first computational task type is used to indicate the type of the first computational task, such as indicating that the first computational task is a model training task, or a model inference task, etc.

[0217] In some embodiments, different field values ​​can be used to represent different types of computing tasks; or, different identifiers can be used to represent different types of computing tasks, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0218] In some embodiments, the identifier of the first computing task can be any identifier that can uniquely identify the first computing task.

[0219] In some embodiments, the second information includes at least one of the following: the direction of data transmission; the type of data transmitted; the scale of data transmitted; and the frequency of data transmission.

[0220] In some embodiments, the direction of data transmission is used to indicate the flow of data. For example, data may flow from a terminal to a network device, or data may flow from a network device to a terminal, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0221] In some embodiments, the type of data transmitted is used to indicate what kind of data is being transmitted, such as model input data, model output data, or intermediate data, etc.

[0222] In some embodiments, the scale of the transmitted data is used to indicate the amount of data transmitted. For example, the amount of data transmitted is 200 megabits (Mbit), or the amount of data transmitted is 20 kilobits (Kbit).

[0223] In some embodiments, the scale of the transmitted data can be one or more, wherein the scale of the multiple transmitted data can correspond to different transmission directions and / or transmission frequencies.

[0225] In some embodiments, terms such as “scale of transmitted data”, “volume of transmitted data”, “scale of interacted data”, “volume of interacted data”, and “volume of interacted data” can be used interchangeably.

[0226] For example, Table 1 below shows the second information for a computational task.

[0227] Table 1

[0228] In some embodiments, terms such as "one-shot" and "disposable" can be used interchangeably.

[0229] In step S2102, the first network element determines the type and / or identifier of the first computing task in the first request, and the corresponding first information and / or second information, based on a preset mapping table.

[0230] In some embodiments, the type and / or identifier of the first computing task may correspond one-to-one with the first information and / or the second information.

[0231] In some embodiments, the first network element may store a preset mapping table, which records the mapping relationship between different task types and / or identifiers and first and / or second information. After the terminal sends the type and / or identifier of the first computing task to the first network element, the first network element can determine the first information of the first computing task based on the mapping relationship.

[0232] In some embodiments, if the first request does not contain first information and / or second information, the first network element may first determine the first information and / or second information corresponding to the type and / or identifier of the first computing task in the first request based on a preset mapping table.

[0233] In some embodiments, the first network element may determine a preset mapping table based on configuration information.

[0234] In some embodiments, the first network element may also receive a preset mapping table sent by the application server.

[0244] In some embodiments, after receiving the first computing task, the first network element may send a second request to the second network element to request the second network element to provide the computing resources required to execute the first computing task.

[0245] In some embodiments, after receiving the first computing task, the first network element can send a second request to the second network element to request the second network element to execute the first computing task and provide the computing resources required to execute the first computing task.

[0257] In some embodiments, steps S2102 and S2103 can be executed in parallel, or step S2103 can be executed first, followed by step S2102. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0258] In step S2105, the second network element sends a second response result to the first network element.

[0259] In some embodiments, the second network element can determine whether the first information is satisfied by comparing its current remaining resource information with the first information of the first computing task, or the second network element can combine other information to determine the second response result.

[0260] In some embodiments, if the computing resources meet the computing requirements of the first computing task, the second network element can determine to respond to the first computing task; otherwise, it can determine not to respond to the first computing task or reject the first computing task.

[0261] In some embodiments, the second response result includes at least one of the following: whether to respond to the first computing task, and the timing of responding to the first computing task.

[0262] In some embodiments, terms such as "timing of responding to the first computational task", "timing of executing the first computational task", and "timing of processing the first computational task" can be used interchangeably.

[0263] In some embodiments, the first network element receives a second response result sent by the second network element.

[0264] Step S2106: The third network element sends a third response result to the first network element.

[0265] In some embodiments, the third network element can determine whether the second information is satisfied by comparing its current remaining resource information with the demand information of the first computing task.

[0269] In some embodiments, the timing of transmission may include the start and end times of transmission, the transmission period, etc.

[0270] In some embodiments, the frequency resources used for transmission can be, for example, Physical Resource Block (PRB) resources, Demodulation Reference Signal (DM-RS), etc. Correspondingly, the configuration information of the communication resources may include PRB resource indexes, DM-RS indexes, etc.

[0271] In some embodiments, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) used for transmission can be the adjustment coding number used for transmission.

[0272] In some embodiments, the validity period of the configuration information is used to indicate the validity period of the current communication resource configuration information. Within this validity period, the terminal can communicate with network devices based on the configuration information.

[0273] In some embodiments, the unit of effective duration can be seconds (s), time slots, subframes, frames, etc., and this disclosure does not limit it in this regard.

[0274] In some embodiments, the first network element receives a third response result sent by the second network element.

[0275] In some embodiments, the order of steps S2103-S2106 can be adjusted as needed. For example, S2103 can be executed first, followed by S2105, and then S2104 and S2106; or, S2103 and S2104 can be executed in parallel first, and then S2105 and S2106 can be executed in parallel.

[0276] In step S2107, the first network element determines the first response result based on the second response result and the third response result.

[0277] In some embodiments, if the second response result is in response to the first computing task, and the third response result is not in response to (or reject) the request of the first computing task, then the first response result determined by the first network element can be not in response to the first computing task, or reject the first computing task.

[0278] In some embodiments, if the third response result is in response to the first computing task, while the second response result is not in response to (or reject) the request of the first computing task, then the first response result determined by the first network element can be either not in response to the first computing task or rejecting the first computing task.

[0279] In some embodiments, if both the third response result and the second response result are responses to the first computing task, then the first response result determined by the first network element can be a response to the first computing task.

[0280] In some embodiments, if both the third response result and the second response result are in response to the first computing task, but the difference between the timing of executing the first computing task in the second response result and the third response result is too large, then the first response result determined by the first network element may also be to reject (or not respond to) the first computing task.

[0281] In some embodiments, the first response result may include at least one of the following: whether to respond to the first computing task, the timing of responding to the first computing task, and configuration information of the communication resources associated with the first task.

[0282] In some embodiments, the first network element can determine the final response time to the first computing task based on the response times determined by the second and third network elements, respectively. For example, either one of the response times determined by the second and third network elements can be determined as the final response time; or, the later of the response times determined by the second and third network elements can be determined as the final response time, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0283] In some embodiments, the first network element can schedule and manage the second and third network elements. Upon receiving a first request, the first network element can directly determine the first response result for the first computing task based on the remaining resource information of the second and third network elements. If the response result is to support the first computing task, then the first network element sends a second request and a third request to the second and third network elements respectively. This reduces information interaction between the first network element and other network elements, improving the response speed of the computing task.

[0284] In step S2108, the first network element sends third information to the terminal, the second network element, and the third network element respectively.

[0285] In some embodiments, the third information is used to indicate the result of the first response.

[0286] In some embodiments, the third information may include at least one of the following: whether to respond to the first computing task, the timing of responding to the first computing task, and configuration information of the communication resources associated with the first task.

[0287] In some embodiments, if the first response result determined by the first network element is different from the second response result (e.g., the timing of responding to the first computing task is different), the first network element may send third information to the second network element.

[0288] In some embodiments, if the first response result determined by the first network element is the same as the second response result, the first network element may not send the third information to the second network element.

[0289] In some embodiments, if the first response result determined by the first network element is different from the third response result, the first network element may send third information to the third network element.

[0290] In some embodiments, if the first response result determined by the first network element is the same as the third response result, the first network element may not send the third information to the third network element.

[0291] In some embodiments, the third information sent by the first network element to the terminal, the second network element, and the third network element may contain the same or different content.

[0292] In some embodiments, the names of the indication information used by the first network element to indicate the first response result to the terminal, the second network element, and the third network element may be the same or different.

[0293] For example, the information indicating the first response result from the first network element to the terminal can be called the third information, while the information indicating the first response result from the second network element can be called the "fourth information," and the information indicating the first response result from the third network element can be called the "fifth information." Alternatively, the information indicating the first response result from the first network element to the terminal can be the third information, while the information indicating the first response result from the second and third network elements can both be called the "fourth information," and so on. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0294] In some embodiments, the terminal, the second network element, and the third network element respectively receive third information sent by the first network element.

[0295] In some embodiments, when the second network element determines (e.g., a third information indication) to respond to the first computation task, the second network element can execute the first computation task. For example, performing model training or online translation, etc.

[0296] In some embodiments, when a third network element determines (e.g., a third information indication) to respond to a first computing task, the third network element may initiate a session associated with the first computing task.

[0300] Figure 2B is an interactive schematic diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2B, the present disclosure relates to an information transmission method, which includes:

[0301] Step S2201: The terminal sends a first request to the first network element.

[0302] In step S2202, the first network element determines the type and / or identifier of the first computing task in the first request, and the corresponding first information and / or second information, based on a preset mapping table.

[0303] Step S2203: The first network element determines the first response result for the first computing task.

[0304] In some embodiments, the first network element can determine whether it can respond to the first computing task by comparing the remaining resource information of the second network element with the first information of the first computing task. Simultaneously, it can determine whether the third network element can respond to the first computing task based on the remaining resource information of the third network element and the second information of the first computing task. Finally, the first response result is determined based on whether both the second and third network elements can respond to the first computing task.

[0305] In some embodiments, if the second network element can respond to the first computing task, but the third network element cannot respond to the first computing task, then the first network element can determine that the first response result is not to respond to the first computing task, or to reject the first computing task.

[0306] In some embodiments, if the third network element can respond to the first computing task while the second network element cannot respond to the first computing task, then the first network element can determine that the first response result is not to respond to the first computing task, or to reject the first computing task.

[0307] In some embodiments, if the second network element can respond to the first computing task and the third network element can also respond to the first computing task, then the first network element can determine that the first response result is a response to the first computing task.

[0308] In some embodiments, if both the second network element and the third network element can respond to the first computing task, but the difference between the timing when the second network element can respond to the first computing task and the timing when the third network element can respond to the first computing task is large, then the first response result determined by the first network element may also be to reject (or not respond to) the first computing task.

[0309] In step S2204, if the first response result is a response to the first computing task, the first network element sends the third information to the second network element.

[0310] In some embodiments, the first network element may also send a second request to the second network element if it determines that the first response result is in response to the first computing task. The second network element can then determine a second response result for the first computing task based on the second request. This avoids errors in judgment by the first network element due to untimely information synchronization between the first and second network elements, and improves the reliability of the computing power service provided by the network side.

[0311] In some embodiments, the first network element may also send the second request and the third information to the second network element simultaneously if it determines that the first response result is a response to the first computing task.

[0312] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the second network element after determining that the first response result is a response to the first computing task and that it needs to indicate to the second network element when to respond to the first computing task.

[0313] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the second network element after determining that the first response result is a response to the first computing task and that it needs to indicate the configuration information of the communication resources associated with the first computing task to the second network element.

[0314] In some embodiments, the first network element may also refrain from sending third information to the second network element if it determines that the first response result is not a response to the first computing task.

[0315] In some embodiments, the second network element receives third information sent by the first network element.

[0316] Step S2205: Send third information to the third network element.

[0317] In some embodiments, when the first network element determines that it is responding to the first computing task, it may send a second request to the second network element to request the computing power resources required by the first computing task, and send a third request to the third network element to request the communication resources required by the first computing task.

[0318] In some embodiments, the first network element may also send a third request to the third network element if it determines that the first response result is in response to the first computing task. The third network element can then determine a third response result for the first computing task based on the third request. This avoids errors in judgment by the first network element due to untimely information synchronization between the first and third network elements, and improves the reliability of the computing power service provided by the network side.

[0319] In some embodiments, the first network element may also send the third request and the third information to the second network element simultaneously if it determines that the first response result is a response to the first computing task.

[0320] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the third network element after determining that the first response result is a response to the first computing task and that it is necessary to indicate to the third network element when to respond to the first computing task.

[0321] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the third network element after determining that the first response result is a response to the first computing task and that it needs to indicate the configuration information of the communication resources associated with the first computing task to the third network element.

[0322] In some embodiments, the first network element may also refrain from sending third information to the third network element if it determines that the first response result is not a response to the first computing task.

[0323] In some embodiments, the third network element receives third information sent by the first network element.

[0324] In some embodiments, S2204 and S2205 can be executed in parallel, or S2205 can be executed first and then S2204 can be executed. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0325] Step S2206: The first network element sends third information to the terminal.

[0326] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the terminal after determining that the first response result is a response to the first computing task.

[0327] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the terminal after determining that the first response result is a response to the first computing task and that it needs to indicate to the terminal when to respond to the first computing task.

[0328] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the terminal after determining that the first response result is a response to the first computing task and that it needs to indicate the configuration information of the communication resources associated with the first computing task to the terminal.

[0329] In some embodiments, the first network element may send third information to the terminal if it determines that the first response result is not to respond to the first computing task.

[0330] In some embodiments, when the first network element determines that the first response result is a response to the first computing task, it may send third information to one or more of the terminal, the second network element, and the third network element. For example, it may send third information only to the terminal, or it may send third information only to the terminal and the third network element, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0331] In some embodiments, when the first network element determines that the first response result is a response to the first computing task, the third information sent by the first network element to the terminal, the second network element, and the third network element may contain the same or different content, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0332] In some embodiments, steps S2204, S2205, and S2206 can be executed in parallel, or S2206 can be executed first, followed by S2205 and S2204, or S2205 can be executed first, followed by S2204 and S2206. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0333] Step S2207: The second network element performs the first computation task.

[0334] Step S2208: The third network element starts the session associated with the first computing task.

[0335] The execution order of the above steps S2206-S2208 can be adjusted arbitrarily. For example, the three can be executed in parallel, or S2207 can be executed first, followed by S2206 and S2208, or S2208 can be executed first, followed by S2207 and S2206, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

For example, step S2201 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, and steps S2201+S2202+S2203 may be implemented as standalone embodiments, etc., but are not limited thereto.
