Detailed Implementation

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

The services in the existing 3GPP wireless mobile communication network are end-to-end services, and the service establishment process is initiated and completed between the UE and the core network through NAS signaling.

For example, consider a UE in the RRC (Radio Resource Control) Idle state:

The end-to-end service establishment process initiated by the UE includes: When the UE needs to initiate a service request, it initiates an RRC connection establishment process with the base station. The UE sends a NAS connection request message (Service Request) to the core network via NAS direct transmission carried in the RRC signaling, and the core network establishes a service connection with the UE. Then, the core network sends the service connection and service-related information to the base station, which then establishes a service bearer (RB) with the UE to carry the service and notifies the UE via an RRC reconfiguration message.

The end-to-end service establishment process initiated by the network side includes: the core network triggers the base station to initiate paging to the UE. After the base station paging the UE, the UE initiates RRC connection establishment. Then, through NAS direct transmission carried by RRC signaling, the service establishment between the UE and the core network is completed through NAS signaling.

As can be seen from the above, whether the end-to-end service establishment process is initiated by the UE or the network side, it is initiated and completed between the UE and the core network through NAS signaling.

With the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning modules are embedded in various nodes of wireless mobile communication networks, including access network nodes and user equipment (UEs). Correspondingly, access network nodes and UEs possess functions such as model signaling, data processing, and edge computing. Intelligent control and data information interaction generated to meet AI services may be completed within the access network. The resulting services differ significantly from end-to-end services and are generally referred to as endogenous services. Endogenous services are characterized by both their origin (initiator) and destination (provider) being within the access network. They primarily aim to solve complex problems in wireless mobile communication networks or improve network performance. They do not directly provide services to end users but mainly serve "AI users." "AI users" are defined not only as UE users or application services of traditional network services but also as various network nodes, network node modules (specific network elements, functional modules), or network operators/tenants/third parties. AI users are both the source and consumer of intelligent capabilities. Services generated by the application of AI in wireless mobile communication networks, i.e., intelligent services, are a typical example of endogenous services. Currently, how to establish intelligent services within the access network has become an urgent problem to be solved.

In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method for establishing intelligent services. In this method, a first access network node receives an intelligent service request message sent by a target network node, the first access network node executes an intelligent service establishment process within the access network according to the intelligent service request message, and the first access network node sends an intelligent service request response message to the target network node, thereby providing a way to establish intelligent services within the access network.

It should be noted that the beneficial effects or technical problems solved by the embodiments of this application are not limited to this one, but may also be other implicit or related problems. For details, please refer to the description of the embodiments below.

As shown in Figure 1, the implementation environment includes the target UE 101, the first access network node 102, and the target network node 103.

It should be noted that although only one target UE 101 is shown in Figure 1, the reader should understand that in actual implementation, the implementation environment may include multiple target UEs 101, wherein the target UE 101 is the service object of the intelligent service to be established or the UE included in the service area of the intelligent service to be established. The UE involved in the embodiments of this application may be a wireless terminal, which may be a device that provides voice and/or other service data connectivity to the user, or a handheld device with wireless connection function, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. The wireless terminal may be a USB storage device, other personal computer memory device and dongle, or may communicate with one or more core networks (CN) via a radio access network (RAN). The wireless terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device, for example, a portable, pocket, handheld, computer-embedded or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges voice and/or data with the radio access network. Examples of such devices include Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), personal computers, tablets, and Machine-type Communication (MTC) terminals. Wireless terminals can also be referred to as systems, subscriber units, subscriber stations, mobile stations, mobile devices, remote stations, access points, remote terminal devices, access terminal devices, user terminal devices, user agents, user devices, and wireless access devices and routers/modems that meet the limitations of this definition, but are not limited to these in the embodiments of this application.

The first access network node 102 can be a base station, IAB (access and backhaul) node, relay, UE relay, or other node or entity with access network node functions in the access network. Specifically, the base station involved in this embodiment can be a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a base station (NodeB, NB) in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a base station in a 5G network, etc., and is not limited thereto.

The target network node 103 is the node that requests to initiate intelligent services. It can be a network node deployed in the access network, a network node deployed in the core network, an OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) node, a UE, or a third-party application node. In some cases, the target network node 103 can be a target UE 101. The third-party application node can be, for example, an MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) platform, an ORAN-RIC (O-RAN Radio Intelligent Controller), or other similar third-party application nodes that can request to initiate intelligent services.

In some embodiments, if the target UE 101 is not connected to the first access network node 102, the implementation environment may further include a second access network node, which is the access network node connected to by the target UE 101.

In some embodiments, after establishing a smart service, the target UE 101 can switch access to other access network nodes. In this embodiment, a third access network node may also be included, which is the access network node that the target UE 101 switches to.

The second and third access network nodes are similar to the first access network node 102, and their relevant descriptions can be found in the description of the first access network node 102.

The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, a method for establishing intelligent services is provided. Taking the application of this method to the first access network node in Figure 1 as an example, the method includes the following steps:

Step 201: The first access network node receives the intelligent service request message sent by the target network node.

As mentioned above, the first access network node can be a base station, IAB node, relay, UE relay, or other node or entity with access network node functions in the access network. The target network node can be a network node deployed in the access network, a network node deployed in the core network, an OAM, a UE, or a third-party application node. Among them, the third-party application node can be, for example, an MEC platform, ORAN-RIC, or other similar third-party application nodes that can request to initiate intelligent services.

In an optional embodiment of this application, an AI Service Request Message can be used to request the initiation of an AI Service. The AI Service Request Message can be generated by the target network node when it needs to initiate an AI Service and sent to the first access network node. Alternatively, the AI Service Request Message can be generated by other network nodes when it needs to initiate an AI Service and forwarded to the first access network node via the target network node.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the intelligent service refers to the service generated by the application of artificial intelligence in a wireless mobile communication network. This intelligent service may include, for example, services for sharing, interacting with, and managing AI models, data, or datasets; computing power sharing services; computing power interaction services; cloud processing data sharing services; and intelligent task segmentation services. The intelligent service can be transmitted between the access network node and the UE in the form of an intelligent data flow (AI flow) on the RB established by the access network node and the UE for the AI flow.

Please refer to Figures 3, 4, and 5, which illustrate three optional air interface protocol stacks for the first access network node provided in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 3, the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can add an AIC (AI Control) protocol sublayer to the existing protocol layers. The added AIC protocol sublayer is a sublayer of the RRC protocol layer. As shown in Figure 4, in another implementation, the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can add an AIC protocol layer to the existing protocol layers, where the added AIC protocol layer is located above the RRC protocol layer. As shown in Figure 5, in yet another implementation, the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can add an AIC protocol layer to the existing protocol layers, where the added AIC protocol layer is located above the PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) protocol layer.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the AIC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node may be responsible for receiving intelligent service request messages (corresponding to the air interface protocol stacks shown in Figures 4 and 5). Of course, in some possible cases, the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node may also be responsible for receiving intelligent service request messages (corresponding to the air interface protocol stack shown in Figure 3). The receipt of intelligent service request messages by the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node includes: the receipt of intelligent service request messages by the AIC protocol sublayer included in the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node.

Step 202: The first access network node executes the intelligent service establishment process within the access network based on the intelligent service request message.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node may determine whether it can satisfy the intelligent service request message based on the capabilities of the devices within the access network (e.g., computing power, locally deployed models, load, etc.).

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node may execute an intelligent service establishment process within the access network if it determines that the intelligent service request message can be satisfied. The intelligent service established is different from the traditional end-to-end service and belongs to the endogenous service described above.

It should be noted that the intelligent service request message mentioned above can include either a message that can fully satisfy the intelligent service request message or a message that can partially satisfy the intelligent service request message.

It should be noted that if the first access network node determines, based on the intelligent service request message, that it is only allowed to fully satisfy the intelligent service request message and not allowed to partially satisfy it, then the first access network node will execute the intelligent service establishment process within the access network only if it is determined that it can fully satisfy the intelligent service request message. Conversely, if the first access network node determines, based on the intelligent service request message, that it is allowed to partially satisfy the intelligent service request message, then the first access network node may execute the intelligent service establishment process within the access network if it is determined that it can fully satisfy the intelligent service request message or partially satisfy it.

In an optional embodiment of this application, establishing a smart service refers to establishing a service connection between the first access network node and the UE to provide a transmission channel for the smart service. That is, establishing a service bearer (RB) to carry the smart service, thereby supporting the transmission of smart service data between the first access network node and the UE through the established RB.

Step 203: The first access network node sends a smart service request response message to the target network node.

In an optional embodiment of this application, similar to the above, the AIC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can be responsible for sending the intelligent service request response message (AI Service request response message) (corresponding to the air interface protocol stacks shown in Figures 4 and 5). Of course, in some possible cases, the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can also be responsible for sending the intelligent service request response message (corresponding to the air interface protocol stack shown in Figure 3).

The intelligent service request response message is used to provide feedback on the establishment status of the intelligent service. In an optional embodiment of this application, if the target network node is not the initiator of the intelligent service, but is only responsible for forwarding intelligent service request messages generated by other network nodes to the first access network node, then after receiving the intelligent service request response message, the target network node can forward the intelligent service request response message to the other network node.

The intelligent service establishment method provided in this embodiment involves a first access network node receiving an intelligent service request message sent by a target network node, the first access network node executing an intelligent service establishment process within the access network based on the intelligent service request message, and the first access network node sending an intelligent service request response message to the target network node, thereby providing a way to establish intelligent services within the access network.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the intelligent service request message includes at least one of the following: 1. the reason for initiating the intelligent service request; 2. the service content of the intelligent service; 3. the priority of the intelligent service.

The business content of intelligent services may include, for example, the functions of intelligent services (AIService) involved in intelligent services, the description information of software use cases involved in intelligent services, and the identification of software use cases involved in intelligent services.

In optional embodiments of this application, in addition to the above content, the intelligent service request message may also include at least one of the following: 1. the identifier of the target network node; 2. the service object or service area of the intelligent service; 3. the service lifecycle of the intelligent service; 4. the model information of the artificial intelligence model and/or the model information of the machine learning model involved in the intelligent service; 5. the computing power information required by the intelligent service; 6. the service quality requirement information of the intelligent service.

The service targets of intelligent services can include a single UE or multiple UEs, a single access network node or multiple access network nodes, etc. The service area of intelligent services can include a cell, a Tracking Area (TA), or the coverage area of a single or multiple access network nodes, wherein the single or multiple access network nodes can include the first access network node. The service lifecycle of intelligent services can include the effective duration, effective time period, triggering conditions, and failure conditions of intelligent services.

In an optional embodiment of this application, if the first access network node determines that it cannot satisfy the intelligent service request message, it sends an intelligent service request failure message to the target network node, or sends an intelligent service request rejection message to the target network node.

As described above, the first access network node can determine whether it can satisfy the intelligent service request message based on the capabilities of the devices within the access network (e.g., computing power, locally deployed models, load, etc.). In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node can execute an intelligent service establishment process within the access network if it determines that it can satisfy the intelligent service request message. If the first access network node determines that it cannot satisfy the intelligent service request message, the first access network node can send an intelligent service request failure message to the target network node, or it can send an intelligent service request rejection message to the target network node.

Corresponding to the above, the first access network node may send an intelligent service request failure message to the target network node, or send an intelligent service request rejection message to the target network node, if it determines that it cannot fully satisfy the intelligent service request message, or if it determines that it cannot satisfy any request of the intelligent service request message.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the smart service request failure message may carry the reason for the request failure, and the smart service request rejection message may carry the reason for the request being rejected.

In an optional embodiment of this application, after the first access network node executes the intelligent service establishment process within the access network, it can send an intelligent service request-response message to the target network node. In an optional embodiment of this application, the intelligent service request-response message can carry success response information or failure response information.

The success response information indicates that the first access network node has successfully established an intelligent service. The established intelligent service satisfies or partially satisfies the requests of the intelligent service request message. In an optional embodiment of this application, the success response information may further include request fulfillment information, which indicates whether the established intelligent service fully satisfies the requests of the intelligent service request message. This request fulfillment information may also indicate the unsatisfied portions of the intelligent service request message. The failure response information indicates that the first access network node failed to establish the intelligent service and indicates the reason for the failure.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node can generate intelligent service requirement information based on the intelligent service request message.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node can generate intelligent service requirement information through a separate software module or a separate hardware module. The generated intelligent service requirement information can be called by other software modules or transmitted to other hardware modules for use by other hardware modules.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the intelligent service requirement information is used to indicate the service requirements of the intelligent service. Optionally, the first access network node may establish an intelligent service within the access network based on the intelligent service requirement information.

The following embodiments of this application will describe the technical process by which the first access network node executes the intelligent service establishment process after receiving the intelligent service request message sent by the target network node. As described above, after executing the intelligent service establishment process, the first access network node can send an intelligent service request response message to the target network node.

The process of establishing a smart service by the first access network node may include: the first access network node generating smart service configuration information based on the smart service request message, and the first access network node configuring the service based on the smart service configuration information to establish a smart service within the access network.

Furthermore, the first access network node can generate the intelligent service configuration information based on the intelligent service requirement information described above.

In addition, the first access network node's service configuration based on the intelligent service configuration information may include: the first access network node itself performing network-side service configuration based on the intelligent service configuration information, and the first access network node sending the intelligent service configuration information to the target UE so that the target UE can perform UE-side service configuration, wherein the target UE is the service object of the intelligent service or a UE included in the service area of the intelligent service.

Therefore, the intelligent service establishment process involves interaction between the first access network node and the target UE. Specifically, this interaction includes the first access network node sending intelligent service configuration information to the target UE. In addition, the intelligent service establishment process also involves the first access network node and the target UE configuring network-side services and UE-side services respectively based on the intelligent service configuration information. Once both network-side and UE-side service configurations are completed, the intelligent service is established.

The technical process described above will now be illustrated through the embodiments corresponding to Figures 6 to 9.

The embodiment corresponding to Figure 6 illustrates how intelligent business requirement information is generated.

The embodiment corresponding to Figure 7 illustrates the overall technical process of the first access network node executing the intelligent service establishment process. That is: the first access network node generates intelligent service configuration information based on the intelligent service request message, and performs service configuration based on the intelligent service configuration information to establish intelligent services within the access network.

The embodiment corresponding to Figure 8 illustrates how the first access network node generates intelligent service configuration information based on intelligent service requirement information.

The embodiment corresponding to Figure 9 illustrates how the first access network node performs service configuration based on the intelligent service configuration information. That is, the first access network node performs network-side service configuration based on the intelligent service configuration information, and sends the intelligent service configuration information to the target UE so that the target UE can perform UE-side service configuration.

In an optional embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 6, which illustrates an optional implementation method for the first access network node to generate intelligent service requirement information. As shown in Figure 6, this implementation method includes the following steps:

Step 601: The first access network node obtains auxiliary information maintained within the access network.

This auxiliary information includes network information and/or user information.

Step 602: The first access network node generates intelligent service requirement information based on the auxiliary information and intelligent service request message.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the intelligent service requirement information may include at least one of the following: 1. the identifier of the intelligent service; 2. the service object or service area of the intelligent service; 3. the service lifecycle of the intelligent service; 4. the model information of the artificial intelligence model and/or machine learning model involved in the intelligent service; 5. the computing power information required by the intelligent service; 6. the service quality requirement information of the intelligent service.

Similar to the above, the service objects of intelligent services here may include a single UE or multiple UEs, a single access network node or multiple access network nodes, etc. The service area of intelligent services may include a cell, a TA area, or the coverage area of a single or multiple access network nodes. The single or multiple access network nodes may include the first access network node. The service lifecycle of intelligent services may include the effective duration, effective time period, triggering conditions, and failure conditions of intelligent services.

In optional embodiments of this application, the content included in the intelligent service requirement information may be consistent with or inconsistent with the corresponding content included in the intelligent service request message. This application does not impose specific limitations on this. For example, when the first access network node determines, based on auxiliary information, that a certain content of the intelligent service request message cannot be satisfied, it may adjust the content included in the intelligent service request message to obtain the relevant content of the intelligent service requirement information.

In an optional embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 7, which illustrates an optional implementation of a first access network node performing an intelligent service establishment process within the access network. As shown in Figure 7, this implementation includes the following steps:

Step 701: The first access network node generates intelligent service configuration information based on the intelligent service request message.

The intelligent service configuration information may include configuration parameters for the intelligent service. Based on these configuration parameters, the intelligent service can be configured, thereby enabling the establishment of intelligent services within the access network.

In optional embodiments of this application, the intelligent service configuration information may include at least one of the following: 1. a configured object or a configured region; 2. resource configuration of an artificial intelligence model and/or resource configuration of a machine learning model; 3. computing power resource configuration; 4. data collection configuration; 5. air interface configuration.

In optional embodiments of this application, the configured object may include a single UE or multiple UEs, a single access network node or multiple access network nodes, etc., and the configured area may include a cell, a TA area, or the coverage area of a single or multiple access network nodes. The single or multiple access network nodes may include a first access network node. The resource configuration of the artificial intelligence model may include the resource storage location of the artificial intelligence model, the resource identifier of the artificial intelligence model, etc., and the resource configuration of the machine learning model may include the resource storage location of the machine learning model, the resource identifier of the machine learning model, etc.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the air interface configuration is used to configure the air interface transmission of data for intelligent services, and may include at least one of the following: 1. Bearer configuration of intelligent data flow (AI flow); 2. Quality of service configuration; 3. Security configuration; 4. Lifecycle configuration.

The intelligent data stream can be carried by a dedicated radio bearer, such as an AIDRB (Data Radio Bearer) or an AI RB. This dedicated radio bearer is used to carry AIflow, and the data for intelligent services is transmitted based on this AIflow. Security configurations may include, for example, key configurations. Lifecycle configurations may include, for example, validity duration, validity period, triggering conditions, and expiration conditions.

In practical implementation, the execution of intelligent services may involve the collection of measurement data. For example, a certain intelligent service may be used to improve the signal quality of the access network. This intelligent service requires the target UE to collect measurement data obtained by the first access network node and input the measurement data into an artificial intelligence model for calculation to obtain intermediate calculation results. Then, the target UE sends the intermediate calculation results to the first access network node, which obtains network configuration parameters based on the intermediate calculation results and configures signal transmission according to the network configuration parameters, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the signal quality of the access network. This process involves the collection of measurement data obtained by the first access network node.

Based on this, in an optional embodiment of this application, the intelligent service configuration information may include a data collection configuration, which is used to configure the collection of measurement data. Optionally, the data collection configuration may include at least one of the following: 1. Measurement configuration of the first access network node; 2. Measurement configuration of the target UE, wherein the target UE is a service object of the intelligent service or a UE included in the service area of the intelligent service; 3. Configuration of requesting measurement and/or monitoring information from OAM.

The measurement configuration of the first access network node may include the content measured by the first access network node, the measurement period of the first access network node, and the period at which the first access network node sends measurement data to the target UE. The measurement configuration of the target UE may include the content measured by the target UE, the measurement period of the target UE, the period at which the target UE reports measurement data, and the air interface resources used by the target UE to report measurement data.

Step 702: The first access network node configures services according to the intelligent service configuration information to establish intelligent services within the access network.

In an optional embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 8, which illustrates an optional implementation of a first access network node generating intelligent service configuration information. As shown in Figure 8, this implementation includes the following steps:

Step 801: The first access network node obtains the intelligent service requirement information generated based on the intelligent service request message.

Step 802: The first access network node generates intelligent service configuration information based on the intelligent service requirement information.

In an optional embodiment of this application, when there are multiple target UEs, the number of intelligent service configuration information generated by the first access network node can be one or more. For example, the first access network node can generate multiple intelligent service configuration information corresponding one-to-one with the multiple target UEs based on the load of each target UE, the capabilities of each target UE, etc.

In an optional embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 9, which illustrates an optional implementation method for a first access network node to perform service configuration. As shown in Figure 9, this implementation method includes the following steps:

Step 901: The first access network node configures network-side services based on the intelligent service configuration information.

Optionally, network-side service configuration may include providing PDCP (Radio Link Control), RLC (Radio Link Control), and MAC (Medium Access Control) configuration information for AI flow, establishing RB (Radio Restricted Base), configuring the key used, configuring RLC transmission mode, configuring fixed logical channels, and configuring priorities.

Step 902: The first access network node sends the intelligent service configuration information to the target UE so that the target UE can configure the UE-side services according to the intelligent service configuration information.

As mentioned above, the target UE is the service object of the intelligent service or a UE included in the service area of the intelligent service.

UE-side service configuration may include instructing PDCP, RLC, and MAC configuration information for AI flow, establishing RB, configuring the key used, configuring RLC transmission mode, configuring fixed logical channels, and configuring priorities. Once both network-side and UE-side service configurations are complete, the intelligent service is established.

In an optional embodiment of this application, if the target UE is in idle state, the first access network node may page the target UE before sending intelligent service configuration information to the target UE. After the target UE is paged, the target UE initiates RRC connection establishment. After the RRC connection is established, the first access network node may send intelligent service configuration information to the target UE.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the air interface protocol stack of the target UE is similar to that of the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node. Please refer back to Figures 3, 4 and 5. Optionally, the AIC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can be responsible for sending intelligent service configuration information. Correspondingly, the AIC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the target UE can be responsible for receiving intelligent service configuration information (corresponding to the air interface protocol stacks shown in Figures 4 and 5). Alternatively, the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can be responsible for sending intelligent service configuration information. Correspondingly, the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the target UE can be responsible for receiving intelligent service configuration information (corresponding to the air interface protocol stack shown in Figure 3).

The fact that the RRC protocol layer is responsible for sending and receiving intelligent service configuration information can be understood as the AIC protocol sublayer within the RRC protocol layer being responsible for sending and receiving intelligent service configuration information.

In an optional embodiment of this application, when there are multiple target UEs, the first access network node can send intelligent service configuration information to multiple target UEs based on unicast, multicast or broadcast.

Optionally, as mentioned above, when there are multiple target UEs, the number of intelligent service configuration information generated by the first access network node can be one or more. Optionally, when there is only one intelligent service configuration information, the first access network node can send the one intelligent service configuration information to multiple target UEs based on unicast, multicast, or broadcast. When there are multiple intelligent service configuration information, the first access network node can send the corresponding intelligent service configuration information to multiple target UEs based on unicast. Of course, when there are multiple intelligent service configuration information, the first access network node can also send multiple intelligent service configuration information to multiple target UEs based on multicast or broadcast.

In an optional embodiment of this application, if the target UE accesses the second access network node, the first access network node can send intelligent service configuration information to the second access network node, so that the second access network node can send the intelligent service configuration information to the target UE.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node can send the intelligent service configuration information to the second access network node based on the existing inter-node interface (e.g., Xn or 6G inter-site interface). Optionally, in this case, an information element (IE) can be added to the existing message to carry the intelligent service configuration information, or a new message can be added to transmit the intelligent service configuration information.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node may also send the intelligent service configuration information to the second access network node through a newly added inter-node interface.

Step 903: The first access network node receives the configuration response information sent by the target UE.

Similarly, as described above, optionally, if the AIC protocol layer is responsible for sending and receiving intelligent service configuration information, then correspondingly, the AIC protocol layer is also responsible for sending and receiving configuration response information (corresponding to the air interface protocol stacks shown in Figures 4 and 5). Specifically, the AIC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the target UE can be responsible for sending the configuration response information, and correspondingly, the AIC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can be responsible for receiving the configuration response information. If the RRC protocol layer is responsible for sending and receiving intelligent service configuration information, then correspondingly, the RRC protocol layer is also responsible for sending and receiving configuration response information (corresponding to the air interface protocol stack shown in Figure 3). Specifically, the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the target UE can be responsible for sending the configuration response information, and correspondingly, the RRC protocol layer in the air interface protocol stack of the first access network node can be responsible for receiving the configuration response information.

The configuration of sending and receiving response information by the RRC protocol layer can be understood as the configuration of sending and receiving response information by the AIC protocol sublayer within the RRC protocol layer.

Specifically, for cases where the RRC protocol layer is responsible for sending and receiving intelligent service configuration information and configuration response information:

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first access network node may send intelligent service configuration information to the target UE based on the first RRC message. Correspondingly, the first access network node receives the second RRC message sent by the target UE, wherein the second RRC message carries configuration response information.

The first RRC message and the second RRC message can be messages generated by the AIC protocol sublayer in the RRC protocol layer.

In optional embodiments of this application, the first RRC message and the second RRC message can be existing RRC messages. For example, the first RRC message can be an RRC reconfiguration message, and the second RRC message can be an RRC reconfiguration success message. Optionally, an information element carrying the intelligent service configuration information can be added to an existing RRC message to serve as the first RRC message, and an information element carrying the configuration response information can be added to an existing RRC message to serve as the second RRC message.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the first RRC message and the second RRC message may be newly added dedicated messages, which can be carried by an existing SRB (Signaling Radio Bearer) or by a newly added SRB.

For cases where the AIC protocol layer is responsible for sending and receiving intelligent service configuration information and configuration response information:

In one optional implementation, the first access network node can send intelligent service configuration information to the target UE based on the first AIC message, wherein the first AIC message is a message generated by the AIC protocol layer in the first access network node. Correspondingly, the first access network node can receive a second AIC message sent by the target UE, wherein the second AIC message carries configuration response information and is a message generated by the AIC protocol layer in the target UE.

Optionally, the first AIC message and the second AIC message can be carried by a newly added dedicated SRB, which is a bearer dedicated to AIC connections.

Optionally, the first AIC message and the second AIC message can be messages transmitted during the AIC connection establishment, connection modification, or connection release process.

In another optional implementation, the first access network node can send intelligent service configuration information to the target UE based on the first RRC auxiliary message. The first RRC auxiliary message is a message generated by the RRC protocol layer in the first access network node triggered by the AIC protocol layer in the first access network node. Correspondingly, the first access network node can receive a second RRC auxiliary message sent by the target UE. The second RRC auxiliary message carries configuration response information and is a message generated by the RRC protocol layer in the target UE triggered by the AIC protocol layer in the target UE.

Optionally, the first RRC auxiliary message can be an RRC reconfiguration message, and the second RRC auxiliary message can be an RRC reconfiguration response message.

In an optional embodiment of this application, after the intelligent service is established, if the target UE switches from accessing the first access network node to accessing the third access network node, the first access network node sends service handover information to the third access network node to hand over the intelligent service to the third access network node.

Optionally, the first access network node can send the service handover information to the third access network node based on existing inter-node interfaces (such as Xn or 6G inter-site interfaces). Optionally, in this case, information cells can be added to existing messages to carry the service handover information, or new messages can be added to transmit the service handover information. Optionally, the first access network node can also send the service handover information to the third access network node through a newly added inter-node interface.

In an optional embodiment of this application, the service handover information may include, for example, context information of the intelligent service.

In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 10, a method for establishing intelligent services is provided. Taking the application of this method to the target network node in Figure 1 as an example, the method includes the following steps:

Step 1001: The target network node sends a smart service request message to the first access network node.

The intelligent service request message is used to instruct the first access network node to perform an intelligent service establishment process within the access network.

Step 1002: The target network node receives the intelligent service request response message sent by the first access network node.

The sending and receiving of intelligent service request messages and intelligent service request response messages, as well as the content contained in the messages, are the same as described above, and will not be repeated here in the embodiments of this application.

To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, five optional embodiments will be described below.

Please refer to Figure 11, which is a flowchart illustrating the first optional embodiment of this application. The scenario corresponding to this embodiment is: a scenario where a base station paging a single UE participates in AI/ML. For example, it could be that the base station sends a training model to a UE with corresponding capabilities and needs to implement corresponding functions, or that the UE needs to provide specific computing power, etc. Specifically, this scenario could be, for example, an AI/ML-assisted mobility scenario or an AI/ML-assisted coverage optimization scenario, as shown in Figure 11, including the following steps:

Step 1101: The base station receives the intelligent service request message sent by OAM.

Step 1102: The base station generates intelligent service requirement information based on the intelligent service request message.

Optionally, if the base station determines that it cannot fulfill the intelligent service request message, in this case, the base station does not need to generate intelligent service requirement information and send an intelligent service request failure message or intelligent service request rejection message back to the OAM.

Step 1103: The base station generates intelligent service configuration information based on the intelligent service requirement information.

Step 1104: The base station configures network-side services based on the intelligent service configuration information.

Step 1105: The base station sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the target UE.

The RRC reconfiguration message includes a newly added information cell, which carries intelligent service configuration information.

The following is the content of the RRC reconfiguration message:

-- ASN1START

--TAG-RRCRECONFIGURATION-START

RRCReconfiguration ::= SEQUENCE {

rrc-TransactionIdentifier RRC-TransactionIdentifier,

criticalExtensions CHOICE {

rrcReconfiguration RRCReconfiguration-IEs,

criticalExtensionsFuture SEQUENCE {}

}

}

…

RRCReconfiguration -vxx-IEs ::= SEQUENCE {

aiServiceConfig AiServiceConfig OPTIONAL,

nonCriticalExtension SEQUENCE {} OPTIONAL

}

--TAG-RRCRECONFIGURATION-STOP

-- ASN1STOP

Wherein, RRCReconfiguration -vxx-IEs ::= SEQUENCE {

aiServiceConfig OPTIONAL is a newly added information element.

Step 1106: The target UE receives the RRC reconfiguration message and performs UE-side service configuration based on the intelligent service configuration information.

Intelligent services are established after the network-side service configuration and the UE-side service configuration are completed.

Step 1107: The target UE sends an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the base station to indicate that the service configuration on the UE side is complete.

Optionally, if the UE cannot complete the configuration or encounters a problem, the UE needs to report the configuration failure information to the base station.

Step 1108: The base station sends a smart service request response message to the OAM.

The intelligent service request response message carries either a success response or a failure response.
