其中,基站120可以是4G***中采用的演进型基站(eNB)。或者,基站120也可以是5G***中采用集中分布式架构的基站(gNB)。当基站120采用集中分布式架构时,通常包括集中单元(central unit,CU)和至少两个分布单元(distributed unit,DU)。集中单元中设置有分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路层控制协议(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)层的协议栈;分布单元中设置有物理(Physical,PHY)层协议栈,本公开实施例对基站120的具体实现方式不加以限定。
基站120和用户设备110之间可以通过无线空口建立无线连接。在不同的实施方式中,该无线空口是基于***移动通信网络技术(4G)标准的无线空口;或者,该无线空口是基于第五代移动通信网络技术(5G)标准的无线空口,比如该无线空口是新空口;或者,该无线空口也可以是基于5G的更下一代移动通信网络技术标准的无线空口。

为了便于本领域内技术人员理解,本公开实施例列举了多个实施方式以对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清晰地说明。当然,本领域内技术人员可以理解,本公开实施例提供的多个实施例,可以 被单独执行,也可以与本公开实施例中其他实施例的方法结合后一起被执行,还可以单独或结合后与其他相关技术中的一些方法一起被执行;本公开实施例并不对此作出限定。
为了更好地理解本公开任一个实施例所描述的技术方案,首先,对相关技术中进行部分说明:
在一些应用场景中,XR业务除了涉及音视频流外,还涉及多模态数据流,例如生物触觉感知的数据流。该些多模态数据流,是描述同一业务或应用的从同一个设备或不同设备(包括传感器)输入的数据,这些数据可能会输出到一个或多个目的设备。多模态数据中的各数据流往往具有一定甚至很强的相关性,比如音频和视频流的同步,触觉和视觉的同步等。这类媒体业务的数据流本身,各数据流之间,以及这些业务数据流对网络传输的需求,都存在一些共性特征;这些特性的有效识别和利用将更有助于网络和业务的传输、控制,也更有助于业务保障和用户体验。
在一些应用场景中,匹配数据流内的PDU或者PDU集的QoS需求通常可以是但不限于是:数据集中数据单元之间的依赖关系、数据集之间的依赖关系、数据集中数据单元的重要性关系或者优先级、数据集的重要性关系或者优先级。
在一些应用场景中,高带宽低时延需求的XRM业务特性,对RAN空口的数据调度和传输提出了新的挑战。目前5GS***在研究如何基于数据集中数据单元之间的依赖关系和重要性关系或者优先级等信息,优化RAN空口的数据调度。但当发生网络拥塞时,目前数据流调度机制依然无法快速缓解拥塞,如拥塞过程中数据单元超出QoS时延阈值被丢弃等方式,直接导致业务QoS无法满足,用户体验QoE大大降低。目前5GS***尚不支持XR业务数据流,尤其下行流的网络侧调度增强。
如图2所示,本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法,由应用功能(Application Function,AF)执行,包括:
步骤S21:向第一网络功能发送指示信息,其中,指示信息用于指示第一网络功能和/或第二网络功能基于预测结果对业务数据的调度相关操作;调度相关操作包括以下至少之一:优化调度以及选择性丢包。

这里,第一网络功能和/或第二网络功能执行基于预测结果对业务数据的调度相关操作,可以是:第一网络功能和/或第二网络功能执行基于预测结果执行业务数据的调度相关操作。
在一个实施例中,预测结果可以是NWDAF的预测分析结果和/或无线接入网功能节点上报的事件通知结果。
这里,预测结果可以是任意一种预测结果;例如可以是网络拥塞、QoS处理的结果、UE的丢包 率或者数量流量等结果;在此不对预测结果作限制。

在本公开的实施例中,优化调度及选择性丢包均可以其它的操作方式,在此不作限制。
在本公开实施例中,可以通过AF向第一网络功能发送指示信息,该指示信息用于指示第一网络功能和/或第二网络功能基于预测结果对业务数据执行调度相关操作,该调度相关操作包括以下至少之一:优化调度以及选择性丢包。如此可以实现对业务数据的网络侧的增调调度;例如,可以通过优化调度优化业务数据的调度和/或通过选择性丢包来解决网络发生拥塞时对网络拥塞的缓解,从而满足业务服务质量需求的满足,提高用户体验等。
在一个实施例中,指示信息用于供第一网络功能和/或第二网络功能基于规则信息执行基于预测结果对业务数据的调度相关操作。这里,该规则信息可以是但不限于是策略和计费控制(Policy and Charging Control,PCC)规则信息、QoS规则信息、数据流过滤规则信息、用量监控规则信息以及测量规则信息的其中至少之一。
在一些实施例中,指示信息为需求指示信息或能力指示信息;其中需求指示信息,用于指示是否需求基于预测结果对业务数据执行调度相关操作;能力指示信息,用于指示是否支持基于预测结果对业务数据执行调度相关操作。或,指示信息可以同时包括需求指示信息和能力指示指示信息。
其中,在前述的实施例中,可以进一步包括:接收UE发送的能力指示信息。
示例性的,AF接收UE发送的能力指示信息,其中,能力指示信息用于指示支持或者不支持基于预测结果对业务数据执行调度相关操作。若AF发送给第一网络功能的能力指示信息用于指示支持预测结果对业务数据执行调度相关操作,则第一网络功能可执行基于预测结果对业务数据的调度相关操作;或者,若AF发送给第一网络功能的能力指示信息用于指示不支持预测结果对业务数据执行调度相关操作,则第一网络功能不执行基于预测结果对业务数据的调度相关操作。
如此,在本公开实施例中,可以通过AF获取UE发送的能力指示信息,以供第一网络功能和/或第二网络功能确定基于预测结果对业务数据的调度相关操作。
其中,在前述的实施例中,可以进一步包括:确定需求指示信息。

如此,在本公开实施例中,可以通过AF生成AFU的需求指示信息,以供第一网络功能和/或第二网络功能确定基于预测结果对业务数据的调度相关操作。
在一些实施例中,步骤S21中向第一网络功能发送指示信息,包括:通过NEF向第一网络功能发送指示信息。
本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法,由AF执行,包括:通过NEF向第一网络功能发送指示信息。
这里,AF通过NEF向第一网络功能发送指示信息可以是:AF向NEF发送指示信息,NEF指示信息发送给第一网络功能。
在本公开实施例中,AF与第一网络功能之间的交互可以通过NEF传输。如此,有利于实现将指示信息由AF成功发送给第一网络功能。
需要说明的是,本领域内技术人员可以理解,本公开实施例提供的方法,可以被单独执行,也可以与本公开实施例中一些方法或相关技术中的一些方法一起被执行。

步骤S31:向第一网络功能发送携带指示信息的请求信息,其中,请求信息中还包括UE的状态信息或用于确定UE的状态信息的参数;其中,UE的状态信息或用于确定UE的状态信息的参数用于指示第一网络功能根据UE的状态信息更新QoS参数。
其中,该指示信息可以如其他实施例的描述,在此不再赘述。
在一种实现方式中,请求信息可以包括UE的状态信息或用于确定UE的状态信息的参数,且在请求信息中可以不包括指示信息。下面通过一个实施例对这种实现方式进行解释;本公开实施例提 供一种信息处理方法,由AF执行,包括:向第一网络功能发送UE的状态信息或用于确定UE的状态信息的参数;其中,UE的状态信息或用于确定UE的状态信息的参数用于指示第一网络功能根据UE的状态信息更新QoS参数。
需要说明的是,请求信息中可以不包括指示信息,而包括UE的状态信息或用于确定UE的状态信息的参数。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以不发送指示信息,或是通过其他的方式发送指示信息。
在本公开的上述几个实施例中,第一网络功能、第二网络功能可以参考本公开的任意一个实施例;示例性的,第一网络功能可以是PCF或者SMF;第二网络功能可以是UPF。在本公开的一些实施例中,指示信息可以是本公开的任意一个实施例中指示信息。如前所述的,示例性的,指示信息可包括需求指示信息和/或能力指示信息。
在一个实施例中,UE的状态信息,可以是但不限于以下至少之一:用于指示UE过热的过热信息、用于指示电源模式的信息、以及用于指示GPU负载平衡的信息。当然,在其它实施例中,UE的状态信息可以是任意描述UE处于某个状态的信息,在此不对UE所处的状态作限制。具体的,可以通过一个或多个比特的指示信息,指示UE的过热信息等。
在一个实施例中,用于确定UE的状态信息的参数,是指能够根据该参数确定UE的状态信息。

需要说明的是,本领域内技术人员可以理解,本公开实施例提供的方法,可以被单独执行,也可以与本公开实施例中一些方法或相关技术中的一些方法一起被执行。

在本公开实施例中,可以通过在业务特定信息流程中、AF会话建立流程或者AF会话修改流程中等发送携带指示信息的请求,从而可以通过一个请求实现两个功能;如此可以提高信令利用率及减少信令的开销。
需要说明的是,本领域内技术人员可以理解,本公开实施例提供的方法,可以被单独执行,也可以与本公开实施例中一些方法或相关技术中的一些方法一起被执行。

该步骤在PDU会话建立流程中的步骤7b中完成,或者在PDU会话修改流程中的步骤1b中完成。(PDU会话建立流程,PDU会话修改流程)
如果该步骤由步骤1b触发,则PCF考虑由AF提供的信息来生成PCC规则信息。
