Description

A reporting method and apparatus for applicable functions used in wireless communication Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to reporting methods and apparatus for applicable functions. Background Technology

[0002] In NR Release 18, research on AI (Artificial Intelligence) / ML (Machine Learning) technologies was initiated to explore their impact on system performance and design. 3GPP Release 19 launched the WI: "AI (Artificial Intelligence) / ML (Machine Learning) for NR Air Interface," supporting a general AI / ML architecture for one-sided AI / ML models. Compared to traditional processing methods, AI / ML offers advantages such as training-based and deployment-required features. Furthermore, AI / ML is a key candidate technology for future 6G communication. Currently, regarding LCM (Life Cycle Management) for UE-side models, the following consensus has been reached: the UE reports applicable functionality, and the base station activates the applicable functionality.

[0003] Since the specifications of AI models may extend beyond the scope of 3GPP (except for reference models used for performance calibration), the specific implementation of AI / ML training and AI / ML inference may be determined by the hardware equipment vendors themselves. It may be based on classic models such as Transformer architecture, RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), CNN (Conventional Neural Networks), or a hybrid model composed of multiple models. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The applicant's research revealed that when a UE (User Equipment) has internal overheating and / or insufficient power consumption and / or storage resources, if too many applicable functions are activated, the UE may be unable to perform the activated applicable functions, or errors may occur, or the UE's performance may be affected. Therefore, ensuring that the base station activates an appropriate number of applicable functions is a key issue that needs to be addressed.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application discloses a solution. It should be noted that while many embodiments of this application are designed for applicable functions, this application is also applicable to other solutions, such as traditional channel information reporting schemes. It should also be noted that although the initial purpose of this application was to solve internal overheating or power consumption problems, this application is also applicable to other scenarios, achieving similar effects to those scenarios. Furthermore, using a unified solution across different scenarios helps reduce hardware complexity and cost. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the first node of this application can be applied to the second node, and vice versa. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0006] As an example, the interpretation of terms in this application is based on the definitions in the 3GPP specification protocol TS38 series.

[0007] As an example, the interpretation of terms in this application is based on the definitions in the 3GPP specification protocol TS28 series.

[0008] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in any node of this application can be applied to any other node. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in any embodiment of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0009] This application discloses a method used in a first node of wireless communication, characterized by comprising:

[0010] Send the first information block; send the second information block;

[0011] The first information block indicates at least one applicable function of the first node, and any one of the at least one applicable function of the first node is associated with a first type of applicable function; the second information block indicates the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node.

[0012] Considering that the first node may not be able to support all applicable functions reported, the above method requires the first node to report the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node. This is beneficial for the network to adjust the applicable functions of the first node based on the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions reported by the first node. It is simple to implement and facilitates network control.

[0013] As one embodiment, the first event set includes the following events:

[0014] - At least the first node detected internal overheating.

[0015] The above method takes into account the impact of applicable functions on internal overheating. When the first node detects internal overheating, the first node reports the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node. This is beneficial for the network to adjust the applicable functions of the first node according to the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions reported by the first node, so as to alleviate the internal overheating problem.

[0016] As one embodiment, the first event set includes the following events:

[0017] - At least the first node is for energy saving.

[0018] The above method takes into account that the applicable functions may cause the power consumption of the first node to be too high, which is not conducive to power saving. When the first node wants to save energy, the first node reports the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node. This is beneficial for the network to adjust the applicable functions of the first node according to the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions reported by the first node, so as to save the power consumption of the first node.

[0019] As one embodiment, the first event set includes the following events:

[0020] - The required storage resources of the first node must be greater than the available storage resources of the first node.

[0021] The above method takes into account the limited storage resources of the first node. The storage resources required for the reported applicable functions may exceed the available storage resources. When the required storage resources of the first node are greater than the available storage resources of the first node, the first node reports the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions. This is beneficial for the network to adjust the applicable functions of the first node according to the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions reported by the first node, and avoids the applicable functions from not being able to operate normally because the storage resources required for the activated applicable functions exceed the available storage resources.

[0022] As one embodiment, the first event set includes the following events:

[0023] - The number of the first type of applicable functions associated with the first information block and the at least one applicable function of the first node is greater than the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node.

[0024] Considering that the number of applicable functions reported by the first node may exceed the number of applicable functions that can be supported, the above method takes into account the impact of applicable functions on the first node. When the number of applicable functions reported by the first node may exceed the number of applicable functions that can be supported, the first node reports the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node. This is beneficial for the network to adjust the applicable functions of the first node according to the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions reported by the first node, and avoids activating too many applicable functions.

[0025] As one embodiment, the first event set includes the following events:

[0026] - The maximum number of applicable functions of the first type that the first node prefers.

[0027] Considering that the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions preferred by the first node may change with the state of the first node (e.g., storage resources, power consumption, internal overheating, movement speed, etc.), when the first node has a maximum number of the first type of applicable functions preferred by the first node, the first node reports the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions preferred by the first node. This is beneficial for the network to adjust the applicable functions of the first node according to the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions preferred by the first node, so as to optimize the performance of the first node.

[0028] As an example, the first event set includes at least two of the following events:

[0029] - At least the first node detected internal overheating;

[0030] - At least the first node is for energy saving;

[0031] - The required storage resources of the first node must be greater than the available storage resources of the first node;

[0032] - The number of first-class applicable functions associated with at least one applicable function of the first node, as indicated by the first information block, is greater than the maximum number of first-class applicable functions of the first node;

[0033] -. At least the first node has a maximum number of the first type of applicable functions that it prefers.

[0034] The above method addresses several issues, including internal overheating, power consumption, insufficient storage resources, or excessive reported applicable functions, by reporting the maximum number of applicable functions of the first node for the first node. This approach is beneficial for protocol implementation and versatility.

[0035] According to one aspect of this application, the second information block indicates N1 from a plurality of candidate values, N1 being the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node, and any one of the plurality of candidate values ​​being a non-negative integer.

[0036] Regarding the question of how to indicate the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node, the above method indicates the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node from multiple candidate values ​​through a second information block, which has low signaling overhead and high efficiency.

[0037] The above method is particularly suitable for scenarios where the storage resources required by different first-class applicable functions are relatively similar.

[0038] According to one aspect of this application, the N1 is characterized in that the number of activated first-class applicable functions of the first node does not exceed the number of such functions.

[0039] Regarding the maximum value of N1, considering that the maximum value among multiple candidate values ​​may exceed the number of the first type of applicable functions activated by the first node, the above method further limits N1 to no more than the number of the first type of applicable functions activated by the first node, so as to avoid increasing the number of applicable functions activated by the first node.

[0040] According to one aspect of this application, the second information block indicates the available storage resources of the first node, and the second information block indicates the storage resources of the first node required by each of the first class of applicable functions associated with the at least one applicable function.

[0041] Regarding the question of how to indicate the maximum number of the first type of applicable functions of the first node, considering that the storage resources required by each applicable function may be different, the above method indicates the available storage resources of the first node and the storage resources of the first node required by each of the at least one applicable function through the second information block, which helps the network to activate the applicable functions more accurately.

[0042] The above method is particularly suitable for scenarios where different first-category applicable functions require significantly different storage resources.

[0043] According to one aspect of this application, the first information block indicates the priority of the at least one applicable function of the first node.

[0044] The above method takes into account that there may be differences between the applicable functions activated by the network and the applicable functions that the first node wants to be activated. By reporting the priority of the first node's at least one applicable function, the above method is conducive to the network activating appropriate applicable functions.

[0045] According to one aspect of this application, the first information block indicates a plurality of applicable functions of the first node, the plurality of applicable functions including the at least one applicable function, the plurality of applicable functions of the first node including multiple types of applicable functions; the second information block indicates the maximum number of each type of applicable function among the multiple types of applicable functions of the first node; the multiple types of applicable functions include the first type of applicable function.

[0046] The above method takes into account the differences in the types of applicable functions and independently reports the maximum number of applicable functions for each type, which helps the auxiliary network to more accurately activate the applicable functions of the first node.

[0047] According to one aspect of this application, it is characterized by comprising:

[0048] Receive the third information block;

[0049] The third information block indicates the activation of Q1 applicable functions of the first type, where Q1 is a positive integer.

[0050] The above method further defines the roles of the first information block and the second information block, which are used by the network to activate at least some of the applicable functions of the first type.

[0052] Receive the third information block;

[0053] The third information block indicates the deactivation of Q2 applicable functions of the first type, where Q2 is a positive integer.

[0054] The above method further defines the roles of the first information block and the second information block, which are used by the network to deactivate at least some of the applicable functions of the first type.

[0055] This application discloses a method used in a second node for wireless communication, characterized by comprising:

[0388] Example 3

[0389] Example 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture for a user plane and control plane according to this application, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture for a user plane 350 and a control plane 300. Figure 3 shows the radio protocol architecture for the control plane 300 in three layers: Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3. Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (Physical Layer) signal processing functions. The L1 layer will be referred to herein as PHY 301. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 is above PHY 301 and includes a MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, an RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides security through encrypted data packets and provides cross-area mobility support. RLC sublayer 303 provides upper-layer packet segmentation and reassembly, retransmission of lost packets, and packet reordering to compensate for out-of-order reception caused by HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request). MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between the logical and transport channels. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in Layer 3 (L3) of the control plane 300 is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and using RRC signaling to configure the lower layers. The radio protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1 layer) and Layer 2 (L2 layer). In user plane 350, the radio protocol architecture for physical layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2 layer 355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2 layer 355, and MAC sublayer 352 in L2 layer 355 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in control plane 300.

L2 layer 355 in user plane 350 also includes SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356. SDAP sublayer 356 is responsible for mapping between QoS streams and data radio bearers (DRBs) to support service diversity.

[0404] Example 4

[0405] Embodiment 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to this application, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 450 and a second communication device 410 communicating with each other in an access network.

[0406] The first communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter / receiver 454, and an antenna 452.

[0407] The second 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.

[0408] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the second communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 layer functionality. In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the first communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the first communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 410, and mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK), M-QAM). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more spatial streams. Transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to subcarriers, multiplexes it with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and subsequently uses inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. 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 transmitter processor 471 into an radio frequency stream, which is then provided to different antennas 420.

[0409] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the first 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 signal processing functions of the L1 layer. 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 spatial stream destined for the first communication device 450. Symbols on each spatial 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 second 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 the functions of Layer 2. 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 transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transport and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the core network. The upper-layer data packets are then provided to all protocol layers above Layer 2. Various control signals may also be provided to Layer 3 for Layer 3 processing.

[0410] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, at the first 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 the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission functions at the second communication device 410 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on radio resource allocation, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the second 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 spatial 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.

[0411] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the function at the second communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the first communication device 450 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first 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 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing between the transmission and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover upper-layer data packets from the UE 450. Upper-layer packets from the controller / processor 475 can be provided to the core network.
