[0128] The widespread application of fifth-generation (5G) technology is bringing tremendous changes to all aspects of people's lives. According to the vision of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), 5G will permeate all areas of future society, building a comprehensive information ecosystem centered on the user. Specifically, 5G user experience speeds can reach 100 Mbit / s to 1 Gbit / s, supporting ultimate service experiences such as mobile virtual reality; 5G peak speeds can reach 10 Gbit / s to 20 Gbit / s, with a traffic density of 10 Mbit / s / m², supporting more than a thousandfold increase in mobile traffic; 5G connection density can reach 1 million / m², effectively supporting massive numbers of IoT devices; 5G transmission latency can be down to the millisecond level, meeting the stringent requirements of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and industrial control; 5G can support mobile speeds of 500 km / h, providing a good user experience even in high-speed rail environments. It is conceivable that 5G, as a representative of new infrastructure, will reshape the future information society.

[0129] In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has achieved continuous breakthroughs in multiple fields. The ongoing development of AI-based technologies such as intelligent voice and computer vision has not only brought a wide variety of applications to smart terminals, but has also found widespread use in education, transportation, home, healthcare, retail, security, and many other sectors, bringing convenience to people's lives while promoting industrial upgrading across various industries. AI technology is also accelerating its cross-disciplinary integration with other disciplines, combining knowledge from different fields while providing new directions and methods for the development of various disciplines.

[0130] In some embodiments, a research project on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in wireless air interfaces is proposed. This project aims to investigate how to introduce AI technology into wireless air interfaces and explore how AI technology can assist in improving wireless air interface transmission technology.

[0131] In research geared towards 6G, 6G systems can provide AI services across more dimensions. This mainly includes the following three aspects:

[0132] AI-enabled connectivity. This means using AI to improve communication performance, such as using AI for beam management;

[0133] Computing power services. This refers to the network side providing computing power to the terminal side, such as assisting the terminal in model training and inference.

[0134] Ultimate AI service. This involves enhancing the network transmission pipeline to improve the user experience of AI application services.

[0135] In some embodiments, an AI-based receiver is proposed. At the terminal side, when processing the received signal, it undergoes reception and processing by radio frequency (RF) devices, while simultaneously, multiple processes such as channel estimation, equalization, demodulation, and channel decoding are performed in the baseband. During RF processing, imperfections in the RF devices can potentially introduce signal distortion. Furthermore, channel estimation errors exist, and interference and noise can affect the performance of equalization, demodulation, and channel decoding processes.

[0136] To improve the processing performance of received signals, AI-based receivers have been proposed. The basic design concept of AI-based receivers is to replace traditional processing procedures with AI models. For example, during or after RF processing, the received signal is corrected to remove imperfections introduced by the devices; AI models are used in channel estimation to improve its accuracy; and AI models are used in equalization, modulation, and decoding processes to enhance reception performance.

[0137] In some embodiments, for the corresponding terminal, there are two processing methods for the received signal: one is the traditional non-AI-based processing method, and the other is the AI-based processing method.

[0138] In some embodiments, due to the limitations of generalization, AI-based processing methods cannot be used in all scenarios and can only be used in specific ones. Furthermore, in environments where AI is applicable, AI-based processing methods often achieve better reception performance. Therefore, how to coordinate the behavior of network devices and terminals to ensure the appropriate scheduling and use of AI-based processing methods in suitable scenarios is a problem that needs to be solved. Since terminals have two processing methods for receiving data—AI-based and non-AI-based—how terminals should use these two methods is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0139] Based on this, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal determines a target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data. The target receiving and processing method is either a first method or a second method. The first method is a receiving and processing method based on artificial intelligence (AI), and the second method is a receiving and processing method based on non-AI. Thus, the terminal can determine the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data, avoiding the inability to determine which method to use when two processing methods exist, ensuring the accurate execution of the data receiving and processing process, and guaranteeing communication quality.

[0156] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal receives a reference signal sent by a network device, and processes the reference signal using both an AI-based reception processing method and a non-AI-based reception processing method to determine the second information.

[0157] Specifically, using AI-based reception processing to receive and process the reference signal allows the use of an AI model. Using a non-AI-based reception and processing method eliminates the need for an AI model.

[0176] In some embodiments, the network device processes the information to obtain the second information, in which case S203A can be omitted.

[0177] In some embodiments, the network device autonomously implements the function indicated by the second information, or the above function is a default or default setting, in which case S203A can be omitted.

[0178] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal receives a reference signal sent by a network device, processes the reference signal using a first method and a second method respectively, determines the second information, and then sends the second information to the network device.

[0179] The relevant description of the second information can be found in the relevant descriptions in the preceding steps, and will not be repeated here.

[0180] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to send the second information to the network device on its own, or determines to send the second information to the network device based on a protocol agreement, or determines to send the second information to the network device based on an instruction from the network device.

[0181] For example, when a terminal receives an instruction from a network device instructing the terminal to report the measurement results of a reference signal to the network device, the terminal can determine that the network device is sending second information.

[0182] In some embodiments, the terminal may reuse existing signaling or messages to send second information to the network device, or send second information to the network device using new signaling or messages.

[0185] In some embodiments, the network device receives first information sent by the terminal, but is not limited thereto. The network device may also receive first information sent by other entities other than the terminal, in which case S204A may be omitted.

[0186] In some embodiments, the network device obtains the first information specified by the protocol, in which case S204A can be omitted.

[0187] In some embodiments, the network device obtains the first information from the upper layer(s), in which case S204A can be omitted.

[0188] In some embodiments, the network device processes the information to obtain the first information, in which case S204A can be omitted.

[0189] In some embodiments, the network device autonomously implements the function indicated by the first information, or the above function is a default or default setting, in which case S204A can be omitted.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0191] The terminal supports receiving and processing data using the first method;

[0192] Based on the channel environment, the terminal is suitable to use the first method to receive and process data.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first information is used to instruct the terminal to support receiving and processing data using a first method.

[0194] The relevant description of the first method can be found in the relevant description of the steps mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0195] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that, based on the channel environment, the terminal is suitable for receiving and processing data using a first method.

[0196] In some embodiments, the first information includes information about a first method, such as the identifier of the first method, the identifier of the AI ​​model, etc.

[0197] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to send the first information to the network device on its own, or determines to send the first information to the network device based on a protocol agreement, or sends the first information to the network device based on an instruction from the network device.

[0198] For example, when the terminal determines, or based on a protocol agreement, that it needs to reach an agreement on how the terminal will receive and process data, it sends first information to the network device.

[0199] For example, if the terminal receives an instruction from the network device instructing the terminal to report whether it supports receiving and processing data using the first method, the terminal sends first information to the network device.

[0200] In some embodiments, the terminal may reuse existing signaling or messages to send first information to the network device, or send first information to the network device using new signaling or messages.

[0201] S205A, the network device determines the first indication information.

[0202] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to use the target receiving processing method to receive and process data.

[0203] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used by the terminal to determine the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data.

[0204] In some embodiments, the target receiving processing method is a first method or a second method.

[0205] In some embodiments, the first method is a receiving and processing method based on AI, and the second method is a receiving and processing method based on non-AI.

[0206] In some embodiments, the network device determines the first indication information based on the network device's deployment information. In this case, S201A to S204A can be omitted.

[0207] In some embodiments, the deployment information of the network device includes at least one of the following: network load information, information of the AI ​​model deployed on the network device side, and beamform of the antenna deployed on the network side.

[0208] Understandably, network load needs to be considered during data reception and processing. If the load is heavy, the network device may not be able to send enough data to the terminal, preventing the terminal from using the second method for data reception and processing, and forcing it to use the first method. In this situation, the network device needs to determine the first instruction information to send to the terminal based on its deployment information, i.e., its network load.

[0209] Understandably, during data reception and processing, some processing may occur on the terminal side, while other processing occurs on the network side. For example, after the terminal receives and processes data sent by the network device, it sends the processing result back to the network device. The network device then needs to further process the result sent by the terminal before determining the final target result. Alternatively, the network device may receive and process data sent by the terminal, send the processing result back to the terminal, and the terminal then needs to further process the result sent by the network device before determining the final target result. In this case, the network device needs to use an AI model to receive and process the data. Therefore, the network device needs to determine the initial instruction information to send to the terminal based on its deployment information, specifically the information of the AI ​​model deployed on the network device.

[0210] For example, if the information of the AI ​​model deployed on the network device side indicates that the network device side has deployed an AI model for receiving and processing data, the network device can determine to send a first instruction information to the terminal. The first instruction information can instruct the terminal to use an AI-based receiving and processing method to receive and process data.

[0214] In some embodiments, the network device determines the first indication information based on the first information and the second information.

[0215] In some embodiments, the network device determines the first instruction information based on at least one of the first information, the second information, and the network device's deployment information.

[0216] In some embodiments, when the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports receiving and processing data using a first method, the network device determines first indication information based on the first information. The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to receive and process data using a target receiving and processing method, wherein the target receiving and processing method is the first method.

[0217] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that when the terminal is suitable to use a first method to receive and process data based on the channel environment, the network device determines first indication information based on the first information. The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to use a target receiving and processing method to receive and process data, wherein the target receiving and processing method is the first method.

[0218] In some embodiments, when the second information is used to indicate the difference between the measurement results of receiving and measuring the reference signal using the first method and the second method respectively, and the difference display terminal shows that the measurement result of receiving and measuring the reference signal using the first method is better, the network device determines the first indication information based on the second information. The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to receive and process the data using the target reception processing method, wherein the target reception processing method is the first method.

[0219] S206A, the network device sends the first instruction information to the terminal.

[0220] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first indication information sent by a network device, but is not limited thereto. The terminal may also receive first indication information sent by a subject other than the network device, in which case S206A may be omitted.

[0221] In some embodiments, the terminal obtains first indication information specified by the protocol, in which case S206A can be omitted.

[0222] In some embodiments, the terminal obtains the first indication information from the upper layer(s), in which case S206A can be omitted.

[0223] In some embodiments, the terminal processes the information to obtain the first instruction information, in which case S206A can be omitted.

[0224] In some embodiments, the terminal autonomously implements the function indicated by the first instruction information, or the above function is a default or default value, in which case S206A can be omitted.

[0225] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to use the target receiving processing method to receive and process data.

[0228] In some embodiments, the network device sends the first instruction information to the terminal on its own, or sends the first instruction information to the terminal based on a protocol agreement, or sends the first instruction information to the terminal based on a request from the terminal.

[0229] In some embodiments, the network device may reuse existing signaling or messages to send first indication information to the terminal, or use new signaling or messages to send first indication information to the terminal.

[0230] S207A, the terminal determines the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data.

[0231] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing the data, that is, it determines to use the target receiving and processing method to receive and process the data. In this case, S201A to S206 can be omitted.

[0232] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data based on the protocol agreement, that is, it determines to use the target receiving and processing method to receive and process data.

[0233] For example, the protocol specifies the target receiving and processing method for the terminal to receive and process data, and the terminal can determine the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data based on the protocol.

[0234] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data based on the first indication information sent by the network device, that is, it determines to use the target receiving and processing method to receive and process data.

[0235] The relevant descriptions of the target receiving and processing method can be found in the relevant descriptions of the steps above, and will not be repeated here.

[0236] S208A, the network device determines the scheduling scheme that matches the target receiving and processing method during data transmission.

[0237] In some embodiments, the network device sends a first instruction to the terminal, instructing the terminal on a target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data. If the terminal determines to use the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data, the network device may determine to use a scheduling scheme that matches the target receiving and processing method during data transmission.

[0238] In some embodiments, when the network device determines that the terminal determines on its own or based on the protocol agreement to use the target receiving and processing method to receive and process data, the network device may determine to use a scheduling scheme that matches the target receiving and processing method during data transmission.

[0239] In some embodiments, a scheduling scheme that matches the target receiving processing method is used, including at least one of the following:

[0240] The scheduling scheme uses a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) that matches the target reception processing method of the terminal.

[0241] Use the target receiving processing method of the terminal to match the resource allocation scheme.

[0242] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device determines that during data transmission, a scheduling scheme that matches the target receiving and processing method can be used, and an MCS scheduling scheme that matches the target receiving and processing method of the terminal can be used.

[0243] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device determines that during data transmission, it uses a scheduling scheme that matches the target receiving and processing method, and can use a resource allocation scheme that matches the target receiving and processing method of the terminal.

[0244] By implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal can determine the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data, so as to avoid the terminal being unable to determine which method to use when there are two processing methods for receiving and processing data. Furthermore, it can also reach an agreement between the terminal and the network device on the method for receiving and processing data, ensuring the accurate execution of the data receiving and processing process and guaranteeing communication quality.

[0264] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first method is a receiving and processing method based on AI. The first method supports performing at least one of the following based on AI: radio frequency signal processing, channel, equalization, demodulation, and channel decoding.

[0265] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data on its own or based on the agreement.

[0266] In some embodiments, the terminal automatically determines that the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data is always the first method.

[0267] S202B, the terminal sends third information to the network device.

[0268] In some embodiments, the network device receives third information sent by the terminal, but is not limited thereto. The network device may also receive third information sent by other entities other than the terminal, in which case S202B can be omitted.

[0269] In some embodiments, the network device obtains third information as defined by the protocol, in which case S202B can be omitted.

[0270] In some embodiments, the network device obtains third information from the upper layer(s), in which case S202B can be omitted.

[0271] In some embodiments, the network device processes the information to obtain third information, in which case S202B can be omitted.

[0272] In some embodiments, the network device autonomously implements the function indicated by the third information, or the above function is a default or default setting, in which case S202B can be omitted.

[0273] In some embodiments, the third information is used to instruct the terminal to receive and process data using the target receiving and processing method.

[0274] In some embodiments, the third information includes an identifier of the target receiving and processing method, such as an identifier of a first method, an identifier of a second method, an identifier of an AI model, etc.

[0275] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data, it sends third information to the network device. This allows the terminal and the network device to determine the target receiving and processing method for receiving and processing data, thereby reaching an agreement between the terminal and the network device on the method for receiving and processing data, ensuring the accurate execution of the data receiving and processing process, and guaranteeing communication quality.

[0276] For example, when the terminal determines that an AI model supporting the terminal to receive and process data based on AI is deployed, the terminal sends third information to the network device, the third information being used to instruct the terminal to receive and process data using a first method.

[0277] For example, if the terminal determines that no AI model supporting the terminal's AI-based data reception and processing is deployed, the terminal sends third information to the network device, the third information being used to instruct the terminal to use a second method to receive and process the data.

[0278] For example, if the terminal determines that the current data receiving and processing procedure is suitable for receiving and processing based on AI, it sends third information to the network device. The third information is used to instruct the terminal to use the first method to receive and process the data.

[0279] For example, if the terminal determines that the current data reception and processing procedure is not suitable for AI-based reception and processing, it sends third information to the network device, which instructs the terminal to use a second method to receive and process the data.

[0280] In some embodiments, when a terminal receives an instruction from a network device instructing it to report the method of receiving and processing data, it sends third information to the network device.

[0281] In some embodiments, the terminal may reuse existing signaling or messages to send third information to the network device, or use new signaling or messages to send third information to the network device.

The processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or to implement the functions of the units or modules in the above device. The processor can be, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory can be internal or external to the device. Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits. The functionality of some or all of the units or modules can be achieved through the design of these hardware circuits, which can be understood as one or more processors. For example, in one implementation, the hardware circuit is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The functionality of some or all of the units or modules is achieved through the design of the logical relationships between the components within the circuit. In another implementation, the hardware circuit can be implemented using a programmable logic device (PLD).

For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
