Description

A method and apparatus for use in nodes for wireless communication and artificial intelligence

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411569821.7, filed on November 4, 2024, entitled "A Method and Apparatus Used in a Node for Wireless Communication and Artificial Intelligence", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to signal transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for CSI (Channel State Information). Background Technology

[0003] Leveraging AI / ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning) technologies to enhance 5G network performance is a crucial component of achieving deep integration of 5G and AI / ML and building intelligent dimensions for 5G-Advanced (5.5G) networks. The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standards organization initiated research on standards for RAN (Radio Access Networks) intelligence starting with Rel-16 (Release-16), primarily focusing on intelligent use cases, enhanced data collection, and the potential impact on RAN nodes and interfaces. Rel-18 formally established a project for AI / ML-based 5G air interface enhancement, initiating international standardization work on the integration of 5G air interface and AI / ML, mainly focusing on research into use cases, lifecycle management (LCM), simulation verification, and data collection.

[0004] Currently, the development of AI / ML has entered the stage of large-scale models. Large-scale communication models can realize autonomous networks and intelligent services, support network operation optimization, and improve network efficiency. The deep integration of communication and AI is an important direction for the future evolution of communication. AI will empower the development and upgrading of 5G, 5.5G to 6G, bringing new management models such as automated management of frequency bands and traffic, real-time analysis of user data and network load, and prediction of network status. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In the current standard, the concept of CPU is introduced to represent the terminal's ability to process CSI, and the number of CPUs occupied by each CSI report and the time occupied by the CPU are specified. After the introduction of AI / ML model, when the UE supports two CSI generation methods at the same time, namely CSI generation based on traditional measurement and CSI generation based on UE-side AI / ML model, the CPU occupancy mechanism is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application discloses a solution. It should be noted that while this application is initially intended for AI / ML scenarios, it can also be applied to other non-AI / ML scenarios. Furthermore, adopting a unified design scheme for different scenarios (such as other non-AI / ML scenarios, including but not limited to Vehicle to Everything (V2X), capacity enhancement systems, short-range communication systems, NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network), IoT (Internet of Things), and URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication) networks) helps reduce hardware complexity and cost. Where there is no conflict, embodiments and features in any node of this application can be applied to any other node. Where there is no conflict, embodiments and features in any embodiment of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0007] In particular, the interpretation of terms, nouns, functions, and variables in this application (unless otherwise specified) can be found in the definitions of the TS38 and TS37 series of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Technical Specifications (TS). Where necessary, reference can be made to TS38.211, TS38.212, TS38.213, TS38.214, TS38.215, TS38.300, TS38.304, TS38.305, TS38.321, TS38.331, TS37.355, and TS38.423 in the 3GPP technical specifications to aid in understanding this application.

[0011] As an example, the interpretation of the terms used in this application is based on the definitions in 3GPP specification protocol Rel-18.

[0012] This application discloses a method for a first node in wireless communication and artificial intelligence, comprising:

[0013] Receive the first reported configuration;

[0014] The first channel information block is generated and sent only when the first value is not greater than the amount of remaining processing resources of the first node;

[0015] Wherein, the first reporting configuration is used to configure the reporting of the first channel information block, the amount of processing resources occupied by the generation of the first channel information block is equal to the first value; the amount of the remaining processing resources of the first node is equal to the total amount of processing resources included in the first node minus a second value, the second value depends on the amount of processing resources already occupied by the first node; whether the second value is equal to the amount of processing resources already occupied by the first node depends on whether the first channel information block is generated based on inference.

[0016] As an example, the problem this application aims to solve includes: how to configure processing resources when the processing resources of the first node are directly shared between traditional CSI generation and inference-based CSI generation.

[0017] As an example, the features of the above method include: when processing resources are shared, by configuring the second value, a portion of the resources are reserved for traditional CSI generation, so as to ensure that the processing resources are not completely occupied by prediction-based CSI generation.

[0018] As an example, the features of the above method include: ensuring the processing resources required for traditional CSI generation, thereby ensuring backward compatibility of the first node.

[0019] As an example, the characteristics of the above method include: making the most of existing CPU processing methods to simplify the design of the terminal.

[0020] As an example, the advantages of the above method include: this application supports the deep integration of AI and communication, improves the adaptability and intelligence level of the communication system, and thus enhances the performance, efficiency and user experience of the communication system.

[0021] According to one aspect of this application, the above method is characterized in that, when the first channel information is generated based on inference, the second value is equal to the number of processing resources already occupied by the first node plus the first parameter; when the first channel information is not generated based on inference, the second value is equal to the number of processing resources already occupied by the first node.

[0022] As an example, the features of the above method include: the first parameter is used to configure the processing resources reserved for traditional CSI generation, thereby ensuring the basic performance of traditional CSI generation.

[0023] As an example, the characteristics of the above method include: traditional CSI generation can completely occupy all processing resources, while inference-based CSI generation cannot completely occupy all processing resources. That is, when processing resources are relatively scarce, the priority of traditional CSI generation is increased to ensure performance.

[0024] According to one aspect of this application, the above method is characterized in that the first parameter is the amount of reserved processing resources, which are used for the generation of channel information not based on inference.

[0025] According to one aspect of this application, the above method is characterized by comprising:

[0030] Send the second information block;

[0035] For each of the M configuration messages, calculate the performance parameters;

[0036] The calculation of the performance parameters depends on the measurement of the RS resource group indicated by the corresponding configuration message; the second information block depends on the performance parameters.

[0037] As an example, the features of the above method include: the first node monitors the performance of the AI / ML model through the M configuration messages and the corresponding M RS resource groups, and then reports the second information block.

[0038] According to one aspect of this application, the above method is characterized in that the first value depends on whether the first channel information block is generated based on inference, and the priority associated with the first channel information block does not depend on whether the first channel information block is generated based on inference.

[0039] As an example, the features of the above method include: when the generation method of the first channel information block adopts inference, it should occupy more processing resources, and thus allocate more processing resources.

[0040] As an example, the features of the above method include: the generation method of the first channel information block should not affect the priority. Thus, after ensuring the processing resources reserved for traditional CSI generation, the priority of the CSI process generated based on inference and the priority of the traditional CSI process are only distinguished in a way similar to the existing process type, and are not affected by the generation method.

[0331] Example 3

[0332] Example 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture for the user plane and control plane according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 3.

[0333] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the wireless protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and the control plane 300. Figure 3 shows the wireless protocol architecture for the control plane 300 between a first communication node device (UE or RSU in V2X, onboard equipment or onboard communication module) and a second node device (gNB, RSU in UE or V2X, onboard equipment or onboard communication module), or between two UEs, using three layers: Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3). L1 is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (Physical layer) signal processing functions. L1 will be referred to herein as PHY 301. L2 305 is above PHY 301 and is responsible for the link between the first node device and the second node device, or between two UEs, through PHY 301. L2 305 includes a MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, an RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which terminate at the second node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. It also provides security through encrypted data packets and supports cross-cell mobility between the second communication node devices and the first communication node device. The RLC sublayer 303 provides upper-layer packet segmentation and reassembly, retransmission of lost packets, and packet reordering to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest). The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical and transport channels. It is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell between the first communication node devices. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in L3 of the control plane 300 is responsible for obtaining radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and using RRC signaling between the second communication node device and the first communication node device to configure the lower layer.The wireless protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2). The wireless protocol architecture for the first and second communication node devices in user plane 350 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in control plane 300 for Physical Layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2 355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2 355, and MAC sublayer 352 in L2 355. However, PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper-layer packets to reduce wireless transmission overhead. L2 355 in user plane 350 also includes SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356. SDAP sublayer 356 is responsible for mapping between QoS (Quality of Service) streams and Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) to support service diversity. Although not illustrated, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above L2 355, including a network layer (e.g., IP (Internet Protocol) layer) terminating at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminating at the other end of the connection (e.g., remote UE, server, etc.).

[0351] Example 4

[0352] Example 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 410 and a second communication device 450 communicating with each other in an access network.

[0353] The first communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475, a memory 476, a receiver processor 470, a transmitter processor 416, a multi-antenna receiver processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitter processor 471, a transmitter / receiver 418, and an antenna 420.

[0355] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 functionality. In the DL, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the second communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for L1 (i.e., the physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, and mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-PSK, and M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM)). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more parallel streams. The transmit processor 416 then maps each parallel stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes the modulated symbols with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and then uses an inverse fast fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding / beamforming operations on the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into an RF stream, which is then provided to a different antenna 420.

[0356] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream, which is then provided to the receiver processor 456. The receiver processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 implement various L1 signal processing functions. The multi-antenna receiver processor 458 performs receive analog precoding / beamforming operations on the baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiver processor 456 uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding / beamforming operations from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiver processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered in the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 after multi-antenna detection to recover any parallel stream destined for the second communication device 450. Symbols on each parallel stream are demodulated and recovered in the receive processor 456, generating soft decisions. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper-layer data and control signals transmitted by the first communication device 410 over the physical channel. The upper-layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements L2 functionality. The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 storing program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the DL, the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer packets from the core network. The upper-layer packets are then provided to all protocol layers above L2. Various control signals may also be provided to L3 for L3 processing. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0357] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper-layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above L2. Similar to the transmission functions at the first communication device 410 described in the DL, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on the radio resource allocation of the first communication device 410, implementing L2 functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first communication device 410. Transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, while multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Subsequently, transmit processor 468 modulates the generated parallel stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream. After analog precoding / beamforming operations in multi-antenna transmit processor 457, the stream is provided to different antennas 452 via transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream before providing it to antenna 452.

[0358] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives radio frequency signals through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly implement the L1 function. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 function. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 storing program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as computer-readable media. The controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the second communication device 450. The upper-layer data packets from the controller / processor 475 may be provided to the core network. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0708] Example 11

[0709] Example 11 illustrates a schematic diagram of RAN domain AI / ML function deployment according to one embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 11. In Figure 11, the gNB can be replaced with, for example, an eNB, or a network device such as a 6G base station.

[0710] In Example 11, the management of ML inference functions of multiple base stations is completed by the RAN domain management function 1102, that is, data interaction with the RAN domain MnS (Management Service) consumer / cross-domain management 1101 (as shown by the dashed arrow in Figure 11). The RAN domain ML training function 1103 is located in the RAN domain management function 1102; while the ML inference function is located in the base station, that is, the AI / ML inference function 1104 is located in gNB 1105, the AI / ML inference function 1106 is located in gNB 1107, and so on.

[0711] AI / ML related functions include ML training (also known as AI training or AI / ML training), ML testing, and ML inference (also known as AI inference or AI / ML inference), etc. ML training, ML testing, and ML inference functions can be deployed independently or co-located. Deployment of AI / ML related functions can be implemented through software, such as downloading and / or running executable files; or it can be implemented through a combination of software and hardware, such as accelerating specific computing units through hardware to improve computing speed or save power.

[0712] ML training functions can be deployed in a cross-domain management system or a domain-specific management system; the domain-specific management system is used to manage the RAN domain or the CN (Core Network) domain. For example, ML training functions for MDA (Management Data Analytics) can be deployed in MDAF (Management Data Analytic Function); ML training for network data analytics can be deployed in NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function), meaning the ML training function is an MTLF (Model Training Logical Function).

[0713] The ML inference function can also be deployed in a cross-domain management system or a domain-specific management system; for example, the ML inference function is MDAF, or the ML inference function is AnLF (Analytics Logical Function) located in NWDAF.

[0714] Similarly, ML testing functionality can also be deployed in cross-domain management systems or domain-specific management systems.

[0715] Optionally, the management of ML inference function can also be completed by the base station itself, that is, each base station can independently interact with the RAN domain MnS consumer / cross-domain management 1101.

[0716] It should be noted that Example 11 is merely a non-limiting implementation; optionally, the ML training function of the RAN domain may also be deployed at the base station; or optionally, some base stations may deploy both the ML inference function and the ML training function of the RAN domain, while some base stations may only deploy the ML inference function.

[0717] As an example, one of the gNBs (or base stations) in Example 11 is the second node of this application.

[0718] Example 12

[0719] Example 12 illustrates a schematic diagram of the deployment of AI / ML functions in a UE according to one embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 12. In Figure 12, the RAN domain ML training function 1204 is optional.

[0720] UE function 1203 is deployed in the first node of this application, and the UE function 1203 includes AI / ML inference function 1205; the AI / ML inference function 1205 uses an ML model (also called an AI model) for inference; an ML model is typically trained before being used for AI / ML inference.

[0721] As an example, the UE function 1203 includes a RAN domain ML training function 1204, which runs training data through an ML model to obtain a relevant loss and adjusts the parameters of the ML model based on the calculated loss; the ML training includes at least one of ML initial training, ML re-training, and reinforcement learning.

[0722] The above embodiments can reduce the complexity of the base station, or save air interface resources caused by reporting training data; however, the above embodiments place high demands on the processing capabilities of the UE side.

[0723] Optionally, the UE function 1203 also includes a CN domain ML training function (not shown in Figure 12).

[0724] Optionally, the UE function 1203 also includes an AI / ML deployment function—not shown in Figure 12—for loading ML models and data.

[0725] As an example, the first node indicates whether it supports ML training function (RAN domain or CN domain) through capability reporting. The capability reporting is RRC signaling or NAS (Non-Access Stratum) signaling.

[0808] In Example 16, the sender of the first reporting configuration includes a first node. The first node generates and sends the first channel information block only when the first value is not greater than the amount of the remaining processing resources of the first node. The first reporting configuration is used to configure the reporting of the first channel information block. The amount of processing resources occupied by the generation of the first channel information block is equal to the first value. The amount of the remaining processing resources of the first node is equal to the total amount of processing resources included in the first node minus a second value. The second value depends on the amount of processing resources already occupied by the first node.

Each of the M RS resource groups includes one or more RS resources, and M is a positive integer greater than 1. The first node calculates performance parameters for each of the M configuration messages. The calculation of the performance parameters depends on the measurement of the RS resource group indicated by the corresponding configuration message.
