Description

A method and apparatus for reporting applicable functional changes in wireless communication.

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411861612X, filed on December 17, 2024, entitled "A method and apparatus for reporting applicable functional changes in wireless communication", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for reporting applicable functional changes. Background Technology

[0003] 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: network configuration provides auxiliary conditions for applicable functions, and the UE reports applicable functionality.

[0004] 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

[0005] The applicant's research found that current discussions suggest that when an AI function changes from applicable to inapplicable, the UE (User Equipment) can report this to the network. However, excessively frequent reporting can increase UE power consumption and consume too many reporting resources, resulting in reduced resource utilization. Furthermore, if the reported content only indicates that the AI ​​function is inapplicable, it is not conducive to the deployment of network optimization functions. Therefore, how to set appropriate reporting conditions and effective reporting content is the problem that this application needs to solve.

[0006] 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 is for scenarios where the terminal triggers reporting automatically, this application is also applicable to network configuration reporting scenarios, achieving the effect of terminal-triggered reporting. 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 terminals described in this application can be applied to base stations, 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.

[0007] As an example, the interpretation of terms in this application is based on the definitions in the 3GPP specification protocol TS38 series.

[0008] As an example, the interpretation of terms in this application is based on the definitions in the 3GPP specification protocol TS28 series.

[0009] 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.

[0010] This application discloses a method used in a terminal for wireless communication, comprising: receiving a first RRC reconfiguration message; wherein the first RRC reconfiguration message includes at least one report configuration;

[0011] In response to the fulfillment of the first condition, a first message is sent; wherein the first message includes an index to a first report configuration, the first report configuration being one of the at least one report configuration;

[0012] The above method sets up a first message sending mechanism, which can reduce signaling interaction and improve terminal autonomy through condition triggering, while also reducing the probability of information loss; the first message includes an index of the first report configuration, which can clearly and simply indicate the first report configuration.

[0013] The first message includes a first information block, which indicates the reason why the first report configuration is not applicable. The candidate values ​​for the first information block include multiple candidate reasons. The reason why the first report configuration is not applicable is one of the multiple candidate reasons. The reason why the first report configuration is not applicable depends on the first condition.

[0014] The above method indicates the reason why the first report configuration is not applicable in the reported information, which is beneficial for information collection on the network side and configuration of network optimization functions.

[0015] According to one aspect of this application, the reason why the first report configuration is not applicable depends on only the first condition among a plurality of conditions; wherein, the plurality of conditions are satisfied, and the first condition is one of the plurality of conditions.

[0016] The priorities may differ depending on the conditions. When multiple conditions are met, more attention should be paid to the most important ones, which is conducive to improving the robustness and effectiveness of the reporting triggering mechanism.

[0017] According to one aspect of this application, the first message indicates that a second report configuration is not applicable, the second report configuration being one of the at least one report configuration; wherein the first information block indicates a reason why the second report configuration is not applicable, the reason for the second report configuration being not applicable being one of the plurality of candidate reasons.

[0018] Regarding the issue of how to indicate that multiple report configurations in the terminal are inapplicable, considering that multiple report configurations may be inapplicable when the first message is sent, the above method uses the first message to report multiple inapplicable report configurations and indicates the reasons for the inapplicability of multiple inapplicable report configurations. This helps to reduce signaling interaction, save terminal power, and reduce terminal energy consumption.

[0019] The above method is particularly suitable for scenarios where the terminal has a lot of AI functions configured.

[0020] According to one aspect of this application, the first condition includes a performance monitoring metric configured for the first report being worse than or less than a performance threshold; the reason for the inapplicability of the first report configuration indicates the performance monitoring metric configured for the report.

[0021] The above method takes into account the possibility that the performance monitoring indicators configured in the first report may deteriorate. By reporting the performance monitoring indicators configured in the first report to indicate the performance monitoring results of the network in the first report, it is beneficial for the network to adjust the performance monitoring configuration in the future and saves reporting resources.

[0022] The above methods are beneficial for optimizing network monitoring configuration.

[0023] According to one aspect of this application, the first condition includes that the required storage resources of the terminal exceed the available storage resources of the terminal; the reason for the first report configuration not being applicable indicates the storage resources.

[0024] The above method takes into account the limited storage resources of the terminal. When the required storage resources of the terminal exceed the available storage resources of the terminal, the terminal indicates that the storage resources are insufficient. This helps the network to adjust the applicable function configuration and the number of configurations of the terminal, prevents the network from activating the first report configuration, and avoids the applicable function from failing to operate normally because the storage resources required by the activated applicable function exceed the available storage resources.

[0025] According to one aspect of this application, the first condition includes the terminal's battery level being below a battery threshold; the reason for the first report configuration not being applicable indicates the battery level.

[0026] The above method takes into account the terminal's battery level, preventing interference and impact on normal communication due to insufficient battery power, and allowing the terminal to use its battery power in more needed scenarios.

[0027] The above methods help to avoid communication interruptions.

[0028] According to one aspect of this application, the first condition includes the terminal's moving speed exceeding a speed threshold; the reason for the first report configuration not being applicable indicates the moving speed.

[0029] The above method takes into account the delay in applicable function indication caused by excessive movement speed, which helps to improve the robustness of the configuration.

[0030] According to one aspect of this application, it includes:

[0031] Upon receiving the first RRC reconfiguration message, the first timer is started;

[0032] The first condition includes the first timer expiring; the reason for the first report configuration not being applicable indicates that the first timer has expired.

[0033] The above method takes into account the situation where the report configuration becomes invalid due to the long period of time it has been configured, thus avoiding the activation of invalid report configurations.

[0034] According to one aspect of this application, it includes:

[0035] The second message is sent after the first RRC reconfiguration message is received and before the first message is sent;

[0036] The second message indicates that the first report configuration is applicable.

[0037] The above method takes into account scenarios where the first report configuration changes from applicable to inapplicable.

[0043] According to one aspect of this application, the first message indicates that a second report configuration is not applicable, the second report configuration being one of the at least one report configuration; wherein the first information block indicates a reason why the second report configuration is not applicable, the reason for the second report configuration being not applicable being one of the plurality of candidate reasons.

[0045] According to one aspect of this application, the first condition includes that the required storage resources of the terminal exceed the available storage resources of the terminal; the reason for the first report configuration not being applicable indicates the storage resources.

[0046] According to one aspect of this application, it includes:

[0047] The first condition includes the terminal's battery level being below a certain threshold; the reason for the first report configuration not being applicable indicates the battery level.

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.

[0310] Example 4

[0311] 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.

[0312] 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.

[0313] 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.

[0314] 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.

[0315] 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.

[0316] 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.

[0317] 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.
