Abstract

An access method. The access method includes: acquiring an AI model type supported by each of one or more network devices; and selecting, according to the AI model type supported by each of the one or more network devices, a network device that corresponds to the AI model type matching an AI model type supported by a terminal for access.

Claims (44)

1 . An access method, performed by a terminal, comprising:

determining that a terminal information request signaling sent by each of one or more network devices is received, wherein the terminal information request signaling is configured to request to acquire a second AI model type supported by the terminal;

sending, through a terminal information response signaling, the second AI model type supported by the terminal to each of the one or more network devices, wherein the second AI model type supported by the terminal is used for the network device to configure an AI model type that match the second AI model type supported by the terminal as a first AI model type supported by the network device, and wherein the terminal information response signaling is configured to indicate the second AI model type supported by the terminal;

acquiring the first AI model type supported by each of the one or more network devices through system information broadcast by the network device, wherein the first AI model type comprises at least one of an actual AI model type supported by the network device, an AI training model supported by the network device, or an AI inference model type supported by the network device; and

selecting, according to the first AI model type supported by each of the one or more network devices, a network device that corresponds to the first AI model type matching a second AI model type supported by the terminal for access.

2 . The access method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring the first AI model type supported by each of the one or more network devices through a first unicast signaling.

3 . The access method according to claim 2 , wherein the first unicast signaling comprises a radio resource control reconfiguration signaling.

4 . The access method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first AI model type is represented by an integer value, wherein different integer values correspond to different first AI model types; or

wherein the first AI model type is represented by a value of a bit field, wherein different values of the bit field correspond to different first AI model types.

5 . The access method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the second AI model type supported by the terminal to each of the one or more network devices comprises:

sending the second AI model type supported by the terminal to each of the one or more network devices through a second unicast signaling,

wherein the second unicast signaling comprises a terminal capability indication signaling or a radio resource control creation completion signaling.

6 . The access method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

sending AI capability information to each of the one or more network devices, wherein the AI capability information indicates that the terminal has a capability of supporting one or more AI models.

7 . An access method, performed by a network device, the method comprising:

sending a terminal information request signaling, wherein the terminal information request signaling is configured to request to acquire a second AI model type supported by a terminal;

receiving, through a terminal information response signaling, the second AI model type supported by the terminal, wherein the terminal information response signaling is configured to indicate the second AI model type supported by the terminal;

configuring an AI model type that match the second AI model type supported by the terminal as a first AI model type supported by the network device; and

broadcasting, in system information, the first AI model type supported by the network device, wherein the first AI model type comprises at least one of an actual AI model type supported by the network device, an AI training model supported by the network device, or an AI inference model type supported by the network device.

8 . The access method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

sending, through a first unicast signaling, the first AI model type supported by the network device.

9 . The access method according to claim 8 , wherein the first unicast signaling comprises a radio resource control reconfiguration signaling.

10 . The access method according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first AI model type is represented by an integer value, wherein different integer values correspond to different first AI model types; or

wherein the first AI model type is represented by a value of a bit field, wherein different values of the bit field correspond to different first AI model types.

11 . The access method according to claim 7 , wherein receiving the second AI model type supported by the terminal comprises:

receiving, through a second unicast signaling, the second AI model type supported by the terminal,

wherein the second unicast signaling comprises a terminal capability indication signaling or a radio resource control creation completion signaling.

12 . The access method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving AI capability information, wherein the AI capability information indicates that the terminal has a capability of supporting one or more AI models.

13 . An access apparatus, being applicable to a terminal, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the one or more processors;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

determine that a terminal information request signaling sent by each of one or more network devices is received, wherein the terminal information request signaling is configured to request to acquire a second AI model type supported by the terminal;

send, through a terminal information response signaling, the second AI model type supported by the terminal to each of the one or more network devices, wherein the second AI model type supported by the terminal is used for the network device to configure an AI model type that match the second AI model type supported by the terminal as a first AI model type supported by the network device, and wherein the terminal information response signaling is configured to indicate the second AI model type supported by the terminal;

acquire a first AI model type supported by each of the one or more network devices through system information broadcast by the network device, wherein the first AI model type comprises at least one of an actual AI model type supported by the network device, an AI training model supported by the network device, or an AI inference model type supported by the network device; and

select, according to the first AI model type supported by each of the one or more network devices, a network device that corresponds to the first AI model type matching a second AI model type supported by the terminal for access.

14 . An access apparatus, being applicable to a network device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform the access method according to claim 7 .
