[0082] In some embodiments, the access network device, the core network device, or the network device can be replaced with a terminal. For example, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be applied to a structure in which communication between the access network device, the core network device, or the network device and the terminal is replaced with communication between a plurality of terminals (e.g., device-to-device (D2D), vehicle-to-everything (V2X), etc.). In this case, the terminal can also be configured to have all or part of the functions of the access network device. In addition, the terms "uplink," "downlink," and the like can also be replaced with terms corresponding to the inter-terminal communication (e.g., "side"). For example, the uplink channel, the downlink channel, and the like can be replaced with the side channel, and the uplink, the downlink, and the like can be replaced with the sidelink.

[0083] In some embodiments, the terminal can be replaced with the access network device, the core network device, or the network device.

[0087] Quality of Service (QoS) is used to indicate the quality that a service needs to guarantee, and the QoS can indicate one or a group of service indicators. The service indicators can include, but are not limited to, data transmission rate, reliability, transmission delay, peak transmission rate, minimum transmission rate, error rate, priority, etc. The QoS requirement can be indicated by a 5G Quality of Service Parameter Identifier (5G QoS Identifier, 5QI), as shown in Table 1.

[0088] Table 1 Standardized 5QI to QoS characteristics mapping

[0089] In some embodiments, when the uplink service arrives, the user terminal (user equipment, UE) triggers a buffer status report (Buffer Status Report, BSR), and the network device schedules the uplink transmission resource according to the BSR.

[0090] In some other embodiments, due to radio frequency or hardware limitations, the UE may need to interrupt the signal reception of the serving cell when measuring a cell. The network device can configure a measurement gap for the UE, and the measurement gap is indicated by a period, a duration, and an offset. The UE can measure the candidate cell in the measurement gap, and does not receive the signal of the serving cell during the measurement. Wherein, the candidate cell and the serving cell can be the same frequency or different frequencies. The network device can configure multiple measurement gaps for the UE.

[0091] During the handover process, the network device configures the UE with information for measurement. The network device sends a handover request to the target cell of the handover according to the measurement results reported by the UE, and after the target cell confirms completion, sends a handover command (Reconfiguration with sync) to the UE, carrying configuration information of the target cell. The configuration information can include bearer configuration, media access control (MAC) configuration, and random access configuration. After receiving the handover command, the UE synchronizes with the target cell, then initiates a random access process to access the target cell, and starts to use the carried configuration of the target cell.

[0092] The measurement reporting of the UE can be based on event triggering or periodic triggering.

[0093] After the UE initiates the handover to the target cell, a T304 timer is started; the UE disconnects from the source cell, synchronizes with the target cell, and then accesses the target cell through a random access process.

[0094] In some embodiments, the QoS requirements of the data packets with the same IP address can change at different times.

[0095] In summary, the connection between the UE and the serving base station is interrupted, and data cannot be transmitted, such as measurement intervals, handover, and other processes, which are configured by the network device. Since the network device does not know the QoS of future traffic, it is possible that a high QoS requirement arrives during the configured process, resulting in the inability to meet the QoS; if the network adopts a more conservative configuration, i.e., always assumes that a high QoS requirement arrives, it can lead to resource waste.

[0096] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method, a first network node determines service information of future arriving traffic, and sends the service information to a second network node, so that the second network node determines appropriate configuration information according to the service information, to avoid resource waste while meeting the service requirements.

[0118] In some embodiments, the specified service is indicated by at least one of the following: quality of service requirement of the specified service; transmission direction of the specified service; service type of the specified service.

[0119] For example, the quality of service requirement of the specified service can be indicated by a first identifier, which can be a quality of service identifier 5QI; the transmission direction of the specified service can include uplink and / or downlink; and the service type of the specified service can include video, voice, AI model, information, multimedia, etc.

[0121] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate the specified time range, i.e., the specified time range is indicated by the second network node.

[0122] In some embodiments, the specified time range can be a time window.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second network node indicates the specified time range, and the first network node predicts the first service to be processed and its service information in the specified time range according to the indication of the second network node.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first service is executed by the first network node.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first network node predicts service information of the first service to be arrived in the future.

[0130] In some embodiments, the first network node can determine or predict the service information of the first service to be arrived in the future according to service information of historical services. For example, the service information of the service to be used by the user next time can be predicted according to the usage habit of the user. The service information of the historical service can include historical service arrival time and type.

[0131] In some embodiments, the service information is predicted or determined by the first network node through artificial intelligence (AI), that is, the first network node can predict the service information of the first service to be arrived in the future through an AI model. For example, the service information of the historical service can be used as the input of the AI model to predict the service information of the first service to be arrived in the future.

[0132] In some embodiments, if the second network node indicates a specified time range, the first network node predicts the service information of the first service to be processed in the specified time range. That is, the first service is a service to be processed in the specified time range, and the service information is service information corresponding to the first service in the specified time range.

[0133] In some embodiments, the service information includes at least one of the following: arrival time of the first service; duration of the first service; quality of service requirement of the first service; transmission direction of the first service; service type of the first service; and whether there is a specified service to arrive.

[0137] If the second network node indicates a specified service, the service information of the first service determined or predicted by the first network node includes whether the specified service arrives, i.e., whether the first service belongs to the specified service.

[0138] In step S2103, the first network node sends the service information to the second network node.

[0142] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes at least one of the following: measurement interval; handover; handover type; and wireless resource for transmission.

[0143] The handover refers to whether to perform handover, and the handover type refers to which type of handover method to use.

[0144] In some embodiments, the second network node can determine the configuration information suitable for the first service according to the service information of the first service reported by the first network node.

[0145] In some embodiments, the second network node comprehensively considers the communication resources required by the first network node for the first service, and configures appropriate communication resources for it, so as to meet the service requirements of the first service and avoid resource waste.

[0146] For example, the first network node reports a first identity corresponding to a first service as 3, and the second network node can determine, according to Table 1, that the packet delay budget corresponding to the first service is 50 ms. If the interruption time of the handover is 200 ms, since 50 ms is less than 200 ms, to avoid affecting the performance of the first service, the second network node can determine not to perform the handover at present, and perform the handover after the first service is executed.

[0147] For example, the first network node reports a first identity corresponding to a first service as 4, and the second network node can determine, according to Table 1, that the packet delay budget corresponding to the first service is 300 ms. If the interruption time of the handover is 200 ms, since 300 ms is greater than 200 ms, the second network node can determine that the handover can be performed, and the performance of the first service will not be affected.

[0148] In step S2105, the second network node sends the configuration information to the first network node.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first network node receives the configuration information sent by the second network node.
