[0105] In a wireless mobile communication network, radio access control refers to a traffic congestion control mechanism that guarantees the success of critical communication calls such as emergency calls by limiting connection requests between terminals and network devices (such as base stations). In some embodiments, a terminal should evaluate broadcast information and identify an access category before sending any connection request to a base station to determine whether to prohibit the connection request of the access. In some embodiments, a terminal can perform unified access control (UAC) based on access identity and access category. Based on this, when a terminal needs to access the network, it can first perform access control checks to determine whether access is allowed. If access is allowed, the terminal continues to perform the access procedure to establish a connection with the network. Conversely, if access is not allowed, the terminal cancels the access procedure.

[0106] In some embodiments, mobile applications based on artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) are increasingly computationally intensive, memory consuming, and power consuming. In the scenario where a terminal wants to use the computing power resources of the network, the resources required by the terminal are no longer only wireless resources, but also computing power resources. However, the current access control only considers the demand for wireless resources, and for the scenario where the terminal needs computing power resources, how to control the access of the terminal is a problem to be solved.

[0107] In some embodiments, "computing power" can be computing ability, that is, the ability of a server in a data center to output results after processing data. Further, "computing power" is generalized to "storage power", "algorithm", etc. Among them, "storage power" can be memory, hard disk related storage technology. "Algorithm" can be software technology including operating system, database, middleware, application program, etc.

[0108] In some embodiments, computing power resources are used to represent computing power. In an example, computing power resources can include: ability resources for computing, reading and writing, storage, algorithms, AI models, AI inference, AI training, AI verification, data distribution, such as providing how many operations, how much memory space, power consumption, etc., but are not limited thereto.

[0109] In some embodiments, the wireless resource is used to represent the connection capability between different network devices or communication systems. In an example, the wireless resource can be the resource in the time domain, frequency domain, space domain, etc.

[0110] In some embodiments, the terms of “computing resource”, “processing resource”, “AI computing resource”, “ML computing resource” and the like can be replaced with each other. In some embodiments, the terms of “wireless resource”, “connection resource”, “communication resource”, “communication force resource”, “linking force resource” and the like can be replaced with each other.

[0111] In some embodiments, the terms of “AI”, “ML” and the like can be replaced with each other.

[0112] FIG. 2A is an interaction schematic diagram of a communication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The communication method related by embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100. As shown in FIG. 2A, the communication method of embodiments of the present disclosure includes steps S2101 to S2104.

[0113] In some embodiments, the terminal is in the connected state.

[0114] In some embodiments, in the case that the terminal is in the connected state, the terminal requests the network device to configure new computing resource for it according to the service demand, at this time, the terminal can perform steps S2101 to S2104.

[0115] In step S2101, the network device sends third information.

[0116] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the third information.

[0117] In some embodiments, the network device broadcasts the third information. The terminal receives the third information through the broadcast channel.

[0118] In some embodiments, the third information is used for access control check. In some embodiments, the third information is used for access barring check.

[0119] In some embodiments, the third information can indicate parameters for access control check. In some embodiments, the third information can indicate parameters for access barring check. In an embodiment, the third information can comprise access control parameters. In an example, the access control parameters are UAC barring parameters. In an embodiment, the access control parameters can comprise a barring factor, which is used to indicate a probability of allowing an access attempt at access control check. In an example, the barring factor can be indicated by a uac-BarringFactor information element. In an embodiment, the access control parameters can further comprise a barring time, which is used to indicate an average time for performing a new access attempt after an access attempt is barred in access control check for the same access type. In an example, the barring time can be indicated by a uac-BarringTime information element. In an embodiment, the access control parameters can further comprise access identity control information, which is used to indicate whether an access attempt for each access identity is allowed. In an example, the access identity can be indicated by a uac-BarringForAccessIdentity information element.

[0120] In an embodiment, the barring time is used to configure a timer associated with an access type. After the timer expires, the terminal can initiate a new access attempt for the same access type.

[0121] In some embodiments, the access control parameters can be configured per access type. One access type can be associated with a set of access control parameters. In this case, the third information is used to indicate the access control parameters associated with one or more access types. In an embodiment, the number of third information can be one or more. In the case that the number of third information is one, the third information is used to indicate the access control parameters associated with multiple access types. In the case that the number of third information is more than one, one third information is used to indicate the access control parameters associated with one access type.

[0122] In some embodiments, the third information can comprise at least one of first indication information and second indication information. The first indication information is used to indicate an access type, and the second indication information is used to indicate a set of access control parameters associated with the access type. One access type can be configured with a set of access control parameters. In an example, the first indication information can be a UAC-BarringPerCatList information element. The UAC-BarringPerCatList information element is used to provide access control parameters for multiple access types. In an example, the second indication information can be a UAC-BarringInfoSetList information element. The UAC-BarringInfoSetList information element is used to provide multiple sets of access control parameters.

[0123] In some embodiments, the third information can further comprise third indication information. The third indication information is used to indicate the association relationship between the access type and the access attempt type. In an embodiment, the first access type is associated with the computing power of AI. Then, the access attempt type associated with the first access type is associated with the computing power of AI. In an example, the access attempt type associated with the first access type can comprise a mobile origin (MO) signal initiated by a terminal requesting computing power resources, AI model training, AI model inference, etc. In an embodiment, the second access type is associated with wireless transmission. Then, the access attempt type associated with the second access type can be associated with wireless communication. In an example, the access attempt type associated with the second access type can comprise emergency, MO signaling resulting from paging, all except for emergency, or MO exception data, etc.

[0124] In an example, the association relationship between the second access type and the access attempt type can refer to Table 1 below.

[0125] Table 1

[0126] Of course, there can be other cases for the access type, the access attempt type, and the association relationship therebetween, which are not specifically limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0127] In some embodiments, the third indication information can be pre-configured, such as being determined according to a protocol or being determined by the terminal according to its own implementation. In this case, the third information can not comprise the third indication information.

[0128] In some embodiments, the third information can be carried in system information for transmission. In an example, the third information can be carried in a system information block (SIB). In an example, the third information can be carried in SIB1.

[0129] In step S2102, the terminal determines the first information.

[0130] In some embodiments, the upper layer of the terminal determines the first information. In an example, the upper layer of the terminal can be NAS.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the first access type. In this case, the first access type is associated with the computing power of AI service. In an example, the first information can be an index value of the first access type.

[0132] In some embodiments, in a case that a service of the terminal needs to use the computing resource (e.g., the first resource), the high layer of the terminal can determine to initiate an access request to the network to request the computing resource. In an example, the service that needs to use the computing resource can be an AI service, an AI-related service, an AI-associated service, an AI-based service, etc.

[0133] It should be noted that, since the terminal also needs to perform an access control check at a lower layer, the access request of the high layer of the terminal to the lower layer of the terminal can be understood as an access attempt, rather than an actual access request. In an example, the lower layer of the terminal can be an access stratum (AS), such as an RRC layer.

[0134] In some embodiments, in a case that the terminal is in a connected state, since there is an RRC connection between the terminal and the network device, the high layer of the terminal can only request the computing resource. At this time, the high layer of the terminal can determine the first information according to the association relationship between the access type and the access attempt type, to indicate the access type corresponding to the first access attempt, such as the first access type. In an embodiment, the first access attempt can be understood as an access request that the terminal attempts to send for requesting the computing resource.

[0135] In some embodiments, the high layer of the terminal can also determine the fourth information. The fourth information is used to indicate an access identity of the terminal, such as a first access identity. In an embodiment, the terminal can determine its own access identity according to its own subscription information, its own configuration, etc.

[0136] In some embodiments, the terminal is configured with an association relationship between the access identity and the terminal configuration. In an example, the association relationship between the access identity and the terminal configuration can refer to Table 2 below.

[0137] Table 2

[0138] Of course, there can be other cases of the access identity, the terminal configuration, and the association relationship therebetween, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0139] In some embodiments, the association relationship between the access identity and the terminal configuration can be preconfigured, such as being specified by a protocol, being determined by the terminal according to its own implementation, being determined by an operator, etc.

[0140] In some embodiments, the terminal can further determine fifth information. The fifth information is used to indicate a reason for requesting to establish a connection by the first access attempt, such as a first establishment cause. In an embodiment, the first establishment cause is associated with at least one of the following: an AI, an AI service, an AI associated service, an AI related service, an AI based service.

[0141] In some embodiments, the terminal is configured with an association between an access type and an establishment cause. In an embodiment, the association between the access type and the establishment cause can be pre-configured, such as specified by a protocol, determined by the terminal according to its own implementation, determined by an operator, etc.

[0142] In step S2103, the terminal performs an access control check on the first access attempt according to the first information.

[0143] In some embodiments, after determining the first information, the terminal can perform an access control check on the first access attempt based on the first access type, the first access identity, and the access control parameter corresponding to the first access type.

[0144] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the access control parameter corresponding to the first access type according to the third information, such as the first access control parameter. Then, the terminal can determine whether the first access identity is allowed to perform an access attempt according to the access identity control information (uac-BarringForAccessIdentity) in the first access control parameter.

[0145] In some embodiments, in the case that the first access identity is allowed to perform an access attempt, the terminal generates a first random number and compares the first random number with a barring factor (uac-BarringFactor) in the first access control parameter. If the first random number is greater than the barring factor, the terminal determines that the first access attempt is barred. If the first random number is less than or equal to the barring factor, the terminal determines that the first access attempt is allowed.

[0146] In step S2104, in the case that the first access attempt is allowed, the terminal sends a first access request.

[0147] In some embodiments, the network device receives the first access request.

[0148] In some embodiments, in the case that the first access attempt is allowed, the terminal sends a first access request to the network device, and at this time, the first access request is an actual access request. In an embodiment, the first access request is used to request a computing resource. In some embodiments, the first access request carries the above-mentioned first establishment cause.

[0149] In some embodiments, the terminal prohibits sending the first access request in the case that the first access attempt is prohibited, and the terminal cancels the access procedure at this time.

[0150] In some embodiments, the high layer of the terminal triggers the access attempt of the first access type again after the duration indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the first access control parameter ends. Then, the high layer of the terminal triggers a new first access attempt, such as the third access attempt, and repeats step S2103 to perform the access control check on the third access attempt. In some embodiments, the third access attempt is a new first access attempt, and the third access attempt is used to request the computing resource.

[0151] In some embodiments, the terminal is configured with one or more timers, and each timer is associated with an access type. The duration indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the access control parameter corresponding to each access type is the duration of the timer associated with the access type. Then, the first access type is associated with a first timer, and in the case that the first access attempt is prohibited, the terminal performs the access control check on the third access attempt according to the first access type when the first timer expires. In an example, the terminal generates a second random number and compares the second random number with the barring factor (uac-BarringFactor) in the first access control parameter. If the second random number is greater than the barring factor, the terminal determines that the third access attempt is prohibited. If the second random number is less than or equal to the barring factor, the terminal determines that the third access attempt is allowed. In an embodiment, in the case that the third access attempt is allowed, the terminal sends the first access request.

[0152] In an example, the first timer can be T309'.

[0153] In an example, in the case that the first access attempt is allowed, the terminal sends the first access request to request the computing resource.

[0154] In an example, in the case that the first access attempt is prohibited, the terminal prohibits the first access request.

[0155] So far, the terminal completes the access control procedure associated with the computing resource of the AI.

[0156] The communication method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps S2101 to S2104. For example, step S2101 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, a combination of steps S2102 to S2104 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, a combination of steps S2101 to S2104 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. It should be noted that the possible independent embodiments composed of one or more of steps S2101 to S2104 are not limited to this.

[0157] In some embodiments, step S2101 is optional, and one or more of the steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0158] FIG. 2B is another interaction schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The communication method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100. As shown in FIG. 2B, the communication method of the embodiments of the present disclosure includes steps S2201 to S2205.

[0159] In some embodiments, the terminal is in an idle state, a deactivated state, or a connected state.

[0160] In some embodiments, when the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, the terminal requests the network device to configure wireless resources and computing power resources for it according to service requirements, at this time, the terminal can perform steps S2201 to S2205.

[0161] In some embodiments, when the terminal is in a connected state, the terminal requests the network device to configure computing power resources and new wireless resources for it according to service requirements, at this time, the terminal can perform steps S2201 to S2205.

[0162] In step S2201, the network device sends third information.

[0163] The optional implementation of step S2201 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2101 of FIG. 2A, and other associated parts in the embodiments related to FIG. 2A, which will not be described here.

[0164] In step S2202, the terminal determines the first information and the second information.

[0165] In some embodiments, the upper layer of the terminal determines the first information and the second information. In an example, the upper layer of the terminal can be a NAS.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the first access type. At this time, the first access type is associated with the computing power of the AI service. In an example, the first information can be an index value of the first access type. In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate the second access type. At this time, the second access type is associated with the wireless transmission. In an example, the second information can be an index value of the second access type.

[0167] In some embodiments, in the case that the service of the terminal needs to use the computing power resource (such as the first resource), the high layer of the terminal can determine to initiate an access request to the network to request the computing power resource. In an example, the service that needs to use the computing power resource can be an AI service, an AI associated service, an AI related service, an AI based service, etc.

[0168] In some embodiments, in the case that the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, and since there is no available RRC connection between the terminal and the network device, such as that the RRC connection between the terminal and the network device is disconnected or suspended, the high layer of the terminal can need to request the wireless resource in addition to requesting the computing power resource. At this time, the high layer of the terminal can determine the first information and the second information according to the association relationship between the access type and the access attempt type, to indicate the first access type and the second access type.

[0169] In an embodiment, the first access type can correspond to a first access attempt, and the second access type can correspond to a second access attempt. In an embodiment, the first access attempt can be understood as an access request that the terminal attempts to send for requesting the computing power resource. In an embodiment, the second access attempt can be understood as an access request that the terminal attempts to send for requesting the wireless resource.

[0170] In some embodiments, the first access type and the second access type can correspond to one or more access attempts. In an embodiment, the first access attempt and the second access attempt can be two different access attempts, or can be the same access attempt.

[0171] In an example, for the service that needs to use the computing power resource, the NAS can determine two associated access types, and send two access attempts, such as a first access attempt and a second access attempt, to the AS respectively, so that the AS can perform access control check on the first access attempt and the second access attempt respectively, thereby realizing access control. In this case, the first access attempt and the second access attempt are two different access attempts.

[0172] In an example, for a service requiring use of computing resource, the NAS can determine two associated access types, and send an access attempt to the AS, so that the AS performs access control check twice for the access attempt, thereby implementing access control. In this case, the first access attempt and the second access attempt are the same access attempt.

[0173] In step S2203, the terminal performs access control check for the second access attempt according to the second information.

[0174] In some embodiments, after determining the second information, the terminal can perform access control check for the second access attempt based on the second access type, the first access identity, and the access control parameter corresponding to the second access type.

[0175] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the access control parameter corresponding to the second access type according to the third information, such as the second access control parameter. Then, the terminal can determine whether the first access identity allows access attempt according to the access identity control information (uac-BarringForAccessIdentity) in the second access control parameter.

[0176] In some embodiments, in the case where the first access identity allows access attempt, the terminal generates a third random number and compares the third random number with the barring factor (uac-BarringFactor) in the second access control parameter. If the third random number is greater than the barring factor, the terminal determines that the second access attempt is barred. If the third random number is less than or equal to the barring factor, the terminal determines that the second access attempt is allowed.

[0177] In step S2204, the terminal performs access control check for the first access attempt according to the first information.

[0178] The optional implementation of step S2204 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2103 of FIG. 2A, and other associated parts in the embodiments involved in FIG. 2A, which will not be described here.

[0179] In some embodiments, in the case where the second access attempt is barred determined by step S2203, the terminal cancels performing steps S2204 to S2205.

[0180] In step S2205, the terminal sends a second access request or a third access request.

[0181] In some embodiments, the network device receives the second access request or the third access request.

[0182] In some embodiments, the terminal sends the second access request in a case that the first access attempt is allowed and the second access attempt is allowed, and the second access request is used to request the radio resource and the computing resource. In some embodiments, the first establishment cause is carried in the second access request.

[0183] In some embodiments, the terminal sends the third access request in a case that the first access attempt is forbidden and the second access attempt is allowed, and the third access request is used to request the radio resource. In some embodiments, the second establishment cause associated with the radio transmission is carried in the third access request. In an example, the second establishment cause can be an establishment cause associated with the radio transmission. In an example, the second establishment cause can be a multimedia priority service priority access (mps-PriorityAccess), a mission critical service priority access (mcs-PriorityAccess), a high priority access (highPriorityAccess), a terminal ending access (mt-Access), an emergency, a terminal initiated signaling (mo-Signalling), a terminal initiated voice call (mo-VoiceCall), a terminal initiated video call (mo-VideoCall), a terminal initiated data (mo-Data), a terminal initiated exception data (mo-ExceptionData), etc.

[0184] In an embodiment, the second access request can include the first access request and the third access request. In other words, the first access request and the third access request can be the same access request, such as the second access request, to simultaneously request the radio resource and the computing resource.

[0185] In some embodiments, the terminal forbids to send the first access request and allows to send the third access request in a case that the first access attempt is forbidden and the second access attempt is allowed. In this way, the terminal can access the network and request the radio resource, which improves the flexibility of the access control.

[0186] In some embodiments, the terminal forbids to send the first access request and the third access request, or the terminal forbids to send the second access request in a case that the first access attempt is forbidden and the second access attempt is forbidden. In this case, the terminal cancels the access procedure.

[0187] In some embodiments, in the case that the first access request is prohibited, after the duration indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the first access control parameter ends, the terminal can also attempt to send the first access request under the first access type again to request the computing resource. At this time, the high layer of the terminal also triggers a new first access attempt, such as a third access attempt, and repeats the step S2204 to perform access control check on the third access attempt. In some embodiments, the third access attempt is a new first access attempt, and then the third access attempt is used to request the computing resource.

[0188] In some embodiments, in the case that the third access request is prohibited, after the duration indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the second access control parameter ends, the terminal can also attempt to send the third access request under the second access type again to request the computing resource. At this time, the high layer of the terminal also triggers a new second access attempt, such as a fourth access attempt, and repeats the step S2203 to perform access control check on the fourth access attempt. In some embodiments, the fourth access attempt is a new second access attempt, and then the fourth access attempt is used to request the wireless resource.

[0189] In an example, in the case that the first access attempt is prohibited and the second access attempt is allowed, the terminal can send a third access request to request the wireless resource from the network device, and after the connection is established, the terminal enters the connected state. In this case, after the duration indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the first access control parameter ends, the terminal performs access control check on the third access attempt. And in the case that the third access request is allowed, the terminal sends the first access request again to request the computing resource. In this way, the flexibility of access control is further improved.

[0190] In some embodiments, in the case that the second access request is prohibited, after the duration indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the first access control parameter and the duration indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the second access control parameter end, the terminal can also attempt to send the second access request again to request the wireless resource and the computing resource. At this time, the high layer of the terminal also triggers a third access attempt and a fourth access attempt, and repeats the steps S2203 to S2204 to perform access control check on the third access attempt and the fourth access attempt.

[0191] In some embodiments, the terminal is configured with one or more timers, each timer being associated with one access type. The length of time indicated by the barring time (uac-BarringTime) in the access control parameters corresponding to each access type is the length of the timer associated with the access type.

[0192] In an embodiment, the first access type is associated with a first timer, the first timer starts running in case the first access attempt is barred, and the terminal performs access control check for the third access attempt according to the first access type when the first timer expires. In an example, the terminal generates a second random number and compares the second random number with the barring factor (uac-BarringFactor) in the first access control parameters. If the second random number is greater than the barring factor, the terminal determines that the third access attempt is barred. If the second random number is less than or equal to the barring factor, the terminal determines that the third access attempt is allowed. In an embodiment, the terminal sends the first access request in case the third access attempt is allowed.

[0193] In an embodiment, the second access type is associated with a second timer, the second timer starts running in case the second access attempt is barred, and the terminal performs access control check for the fourth access attempt according to the second access type when the second timer expires. In an example, the terminal generates a fourth random number and compares the fourth random number with the barring factor (uac-BarringFactor) in the second access control parameters. If the fourth random number is greater than the barring factor, the terminal determines that the fourth access attempt is barred. If the fourth random number is less than or equal to the barring factor, the terminal determines that the fourth access attempt is allowed. In an embodiment, the terminal sends the third access request in case the fourth access attempt is allowed.

[0194] In an example, the first timer can be T309' and the second timer can be T309.

[0195] In an example, the terminal sends the second access request to request the radio resource and the computing resource in case the first access attempt is allowed and the second access attempt is allowed.

[0196] In an example, the terminal sends the third access request to request the radio resource in case the first access attempt is barred and the second access attempt is allowed.

[0197] In an example, the terminal bars the second access request or the third access request in case the first access attempt is barred and the second access attempt is barred.

[0198] In an example, the terminal bars the second access request or the third access request in case the first access attempt is allowed and the second access attempt is barred.

[0199] So far, the terminal completes the access control process associated with the computing power of AI.

[0262] In the following, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure are exemplarily described through specific embodiments.

[0263] In some embodiments, the terminal performs 2 access barring checks on the call attempt for initiating the first task.

[0264] As an embodiment, the first task can be an AI-related task.

[0265] As an embodiment, the first task can involve requesting a type 1 resource (such as the second resource) and / or a type 2 resource (such as the first resource) from the network.

[0266] In some embodiments, the admission control procedure 1 is an admission control procedure requested for type 1 resources (e.g., second resources, such as resources needed for wireless communication).

[0267] In some embodiments, the admission control procedure 2 is an admission control procedure requested for type 2 resources (e.g., first resources, such as resources needed for AI tasks, such as computing power resources).

[0268] In some embodiments, the computing power resources include: capability resources for computing, reading and writing, storage, algorithms, AI models, AI inference, AI training, AI verification, data distribution, such as how many times of operation, and memory, power consumption, etc., but are not limited thereto.

[0269] In some embodiments, the admission control procedure is UAC. In an embodiment, the terminal determines whether the UAC is passed by generating a random number and comparing it with a network configured threshold value.

[0270] In some embodiments, the NAS of the terminal sends two access attempts to the RRC layer for the call attempt applied for the first task, respectively for the call attempt requested for type 1 resources (e.g., second call attempt) and for the call attempt requested for type 2 resources (e.g., first call attempt).

[0271] In some embodiments, the call attempt requested for type 1 resources can adopt an existing access category, such as MO (mobile originating calls).

[0272] In some embodiments, the call attempt requested for type 2 resources can adopt a newly introduced access category, such as AI computing power request, etc.

[0273] In some embodiments, the terminal first performs one of the admission control procedures; and on the basis of its attempt, performs the admission control procedure based on the remaining one.

[0274] In some embodiments, the terminal first performs the admission control procedure 1; and on the basis of its success, performs the admission control procedure 2.

[0275] In some embodiments, the terminal first performs the admission control procedure 1; and on the basis of its success, performs the admission control procedure 2 based on computing power resources.

[0276] In some embodiments, the terminal first performs the admission control procedure 1; and if it fails, does not perform the admission control procedure 2.

[0277] In some embodiments, the terminal first performs the admission control process; if it fails, the type 2 resource-based admission control process is no longer performed.

[0278] In some embodiments, if control process 2 does not pass and T390' (such as the first timer) is running, the terminal needs to initiate the power request service again after T390' times out, but because control process 1 passes, the terminal can initiate the service of the wireless connection again, such as initiating communication, etc.

[0279] In some embodiments, the terminal performs respective admission control processes; according to the results of the two, it is determined whether to initiate a call to the network.

[0280] In some embodiments, if both pass, a call to the network is initiated;

[0281] In some embodiments, if both pass, a call to the network is initiated; the call establishment reason is a newly introduced call establishment reason, such as AI related.

[0282] In some embodiments, if process 1 passes and process 2 does not pass, a call to the network is initiated; the call establishment reason is an existing call establishment reason; at this time, the T390' of process 2 continues to run;

[0283] The advantage of this is that if process 2 is an application for AI-related resources to the network, such as type 2 resources; the application does not pass, the terminal can still continue to initiate a call according to the passing of the admission control process 1 to establish a connection with the network; and the application for AI-related resources to the network can be applied again in the future. This method improves the flexibility of the call establishment process.

[0284] In some embodiments, if process 1 does not pass and process 2 does not pass, the entire call connection establishment request fails at this time. At this time, the respective T390 and T390' continue to run.

[0285] In some embodiments, if the first task involves 2 admission control processes, such as the application for type 1 resources and type 2 resources, the base station uses different admission control parameters for the terminal for the admission control process of one of them.

[0286] In some embodiments, the network sends different UAC parameters for the admission control of wireless resources and the admission control of computing resources; for the terminal to perform 2 UAC processes.

[0287] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, part or all of the steps, and optional implementation manners thereof, can be combined with part or all of the steps in other embodiments, or can be combined with optional implementation manners of other embodiments.
