XR services, cloud games, video-based machine or drone remote control and other services are expected to contribute increasing traffic to 5G networks. In addition to audio and video streams, XR services also involve multi-modal data streams, such as data streams for biological tactile perception. These multi-modal data are data input from the same device or different devices (including sensors) describing the same business or application. These data may be output to one or more destination device terminals. Each data stream in multimodal data often has a certain or even strong correlation, such as the synchronization of audio and video streams, the synchronization of touch and vision, etc. There are some common characteristics in the data flow itself of this type of media business, among each data flow, and in the network transmission requirements of these business data flows. The effective identification and utilization of these characteristics will be more conducive to the transmission and operation of networks and services. Control is also more conducive to business security and user experience.

In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) research, a goal is defined for XR (Extended Reality) and media services related to UE power management: to study the potential of power management that takes into account the traffic characteristics of media services Enhancement; energy-saving enhancement, such as supporting the consideration of the balance between device battery life and throughput/latency/reliability, and how to consider the traffic characteristics of XR services or media services, and enhancing CDRX (Connected Discontinuous Reception, connected state-discontinuous reception).

A key issue was defined for 3GPP’s research on XR media services: more efficient codecs require more power consumption and higher reliability. In addition, higher throughput and lower latency budget also require more power consumption and more network resources. Therefore, the balance between Quality of Experience (QoE) and device power consumption needs to be considered. This key issue is intended to be solved for the XRM (Extended Reality Media, Extended Reality Media) business: how to support the balance between throughput/latency/reliability and power consumption (for example, device battery life).

Currently, there is no corresponding QoS policy mechanism to meet the above series of corresponding needs. In particular, in order to support the transmission of XRM services and multi-modal data streams, the potential enhancement of energy consumption management considering the traffic characteristics of XRM services is studied. For example, it supports the balancing of throughput, latency, reliability and other factors that take into account device UE status information (such as device temperature, battery life, power supply mode, CPU load, etc.).

Figure 2 is a flow chart of an information processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the information transmission method is executed by PCF, and the method may include:

Step 201: Receive the UE status information of the UE;

Step 202: Determine the policy of the UE according to the UE status information.

UE status information may be used to indicate UE status. The UE status may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: UE battery status, UE power supply status, UE CPU load status, UE temperature status, UE power consumption status, etc.

The PCF may determine the policy of the UE according to the UE status information, for example, determine or update the QoS parameters of the service data flow of the UE for the first time.

In this embodiment, since the UE's policy is determined by the PCF based on the UE status information, the UE's policy determined in this way can reduce the waste of network resources and/or waste of UE energy consumption caused by the inconsistency between the formulated policy and the UE's status. Achieve a balance between UE energy consumption and service transmission performance (factors such as throughput, delay or reliability).

In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the receiving UE status information of the UE includes:

Step 301: Receive the UE status information of the user equipment sent by the AMF.

In some examples, the UE status information sent by the AMF to the PCF may be sent by the UE to the AMF through a non-access stratum (NAS) message, or may be sent by the UE to the RAN, and then by the RAN. AMF.

It can be understood that when the UE sends the UE status information to the AMF through the NAS message, the NAS message can be relayed by the RAN, that is, the UE sends the UE status information to the RAN through the NAS message, and then the RAN forwards it to the AMF.

In one embodiment, the UE status information of the user equipment sent by the AMF includes at least one of the following:

Receive the UE status information sent by the AMF based on the UE status information subscription request;

Receive the UE status information sent by the AMF based on subscription information or local policy.

In some examples, the UE status information subscription request is used to request the AMF to report the UE status information to the PCF when the subscription reporting conditions are met. Here, the UE status information subscription request may be sent by the PCF to the AMF.

PCF can obtain UE status information from AMF through subscription and other methods.

In some examples, when the UE is in a migration scenario, after the PCF subscribes to the UE status information from the old AMF, the subscription event is forwarded to the new AMF, and the new AMF performs a trigger reporting. Here, the old AMF is the AMF that the UE registered before registering with the new AMF. That is to say, the old AMF is one or more registered AMFs before the AMF currently registered by the UE.

In some examples, the subscription information or local policy can be used to determine whether the AMF is allowed to send the UE status information to the PCF. If the subscription information or the local policy stipulates that the UE status information can be sent to the PCF, then the AMF can send the UE status information. to PCF.

In one embodiment, the UE's policy includes:

The policy of the guaranteed bit rate (Guaranteed Bit Rate, GBR) data stream of the UE; and/or the policy of the non-guaranteed bit rate (Non-GBR) data stream of the UE.

Depending on whether the lower limit guarantee of the transmission rate can be provided, service data flows can be divided into GBR data flows and non-GBR data flows.

GBR data flow is a data flow that provides the lowest transmission bit rate. Even when network resources are tight, the corresponding bit rate can be maintained.

Non-GBR data flow is a data flow that does not provide a minimum transmission rate guarantee. When the network is congested, the service (or bearer) needs to bear the requirement of reducing the rate.

In some examples, the PCF can update the policy of the UE's GBR data flow according to the UE status information, for example, reduce or increase the bandwidth control parameters of the UE's GBR data flow. The bandwidth control parameters may include control parameters of the maximum uplink bandwidth and/or control parameters of the maximum downlink bandwidth of the GBR data flow.

In some examples, the PCF can update the policy of the UE's Non-GBR data flow according to the UE status information, for example, reduce or increase the bandwidth control parameters of the UE's Non-GBR data flow. The bandwidth control parameters may include control parameters of the maximum uplink bandwidth and/or control parameters of the maximum downlink bandwidth of the Non-GBR data stream.

In one embodiment, determining a policy for the UE based on the UE status information may include:

Here, the QoS parameters may be specific to the service data flow.

Different QoS parameters can be set for different UE states. For example, different QoS parameters can be set for different CPU loads. For example, for a UE with a heavy CPU load, the PCF's strategy for updating the UE may at least include reducing QoS parameters.

In one embodiment, the QoS parameters include at least one of the following:

The maximum flow bit rate (Maximum Flow Bit Rate, MFBR) of the GBR data stream;

The guaranteed stream bit rate (Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate, GFBR) of the GBR data stream;

Aggregated Maximum Bit Rate (AMBR) of the Non-GBR data stream.

In some examples, the PCF may reduce or increase the MFBR of the uplink GBR data flow and/or the MFBR of the downlink GBR data flow according to the UE status information.

In some examples, the PCF may reduce or increase the GFBR of the uplink GBR data flow and/or the GFBR of the downlink GBR data flow according to the UE status information.

In some examples, the PCF can reduce or increase the AMBR of the uplink Non-GBR data flow and/or the AMBR of the downlink Non-GBR data flow according to the UE status information.

In one embodiment, the AMBR includes at least one of the following:

User Equipment Aggregated Maximum Bit Rate (UE-AMBR);

Session aggregate maximum bit rate (Session-AMBR);

User Equipment Slice Maximum Bit Rate (UE-Slice-MBR).

In one embodiment, the method further includes at least one of the following:

Send the updated Session-AMBR to the Session Management Function (Session Management Function, SMF), where the updated Session-AMBR is forwarded from the SMF to the User Plane Function (UPF) ;

Send the updated Session-AMBR to the UE;

Send the updated UE-AMBR to the RAN;

Send the updated MFBR and/or the GFBR to the UPF;

Send the updated UE-Slice-MBR to the RAN, where the updated UE-Slice-MBR is used by the RAN to apply to the slice S of the UE corresponding to the activated user plane. -All PDU sessions of NSSAI (Network Slice Selection Assistance Information, network slice selection support information).

Specifically, if PCF sends uplink and/or downlink Session-AMBR to SMF, it is forwarded to UPF for execution. If the UPF receives a Session-AMBR value from the SMF, the UPF will enforce the PCF updated upstream and/or downstream Session-AMBR.

If the PCF sends Session-AMBR to the UE, the UE executes the updated uplink Session-AMBR (if the UE receives the Session-AMBR, the UE will use the Session-AMBR to perform PDU session-based uplink rate limiting on the Non-GBR flow).

If the PCF updates the UE-AMBR, for the Non-GBR QoS flow, the RAN enforces UE-AMBR for each UE in the downlink and uplink for the Non-GBR QoS flow.

If the PCF updates the MFBR, for the GBR QoS flow, the UPF executes the updated downstream MFBR (MFBR is executed in the UPF of the downlink of the GBR QoS flow). For GBR QoS flows, (R)AN performs updated upstream/downstream MFBR (MFBR is performed in (R)AN in the downlink and uplink of GBR QoS flows).

If the PCF updates the UE-Slice-MBR, then if the RAN receives the updated UE-Slice-MBR, the RAN will apply this UE-Slice-MBR to all PDUs of the UE corresponding to the S-NSSAI with activated user plane. session.

The battery power of the UE;

The battery life cycle of the UE;

The power supply mode of the UE;

The CPU load of the UE;

The overheating status of the UE.

The battery power of the UE can be expressed as the percentage of remaining battery power. For example, the battery power can be divided into multiple battery power levels from 0% to 100%, and different battery power levels indicate different battery power ranges.

The battery life cycle of the UE can be expressed in terms of battery usage time. The battery usage time of the UE may include at least one of the following: the usage time of the remaining battery power, the battery usage time, etc.

The power supply mode of the UE may include at least one of the following: battery power supply, external power supply (such as mains power supply), hybrid power supply (battery combined with mains power supply, etc.).

The CPU load of the UE can be expressed as the average CPU load, that is, the processes occupying the CPU within a CPU statistical period (the number of processes that are already being executed) and the number of processes waiting for CPU time (the processes waiting for CPU time here refer to the processes waiting to be awakened) process). The overheating status of the UE is used to indicate whether an overheating condition occurs in the UE. For example, the overheating status of the UE may be used to indicate whether at least one of the central processor of the UE, the power amplifier of the UE, the wireless circuit of the UE, and the battery of the UE has an overheating condition. .

For example, when the UE temperature is higher than the preset temperature value, the PCF can reduce the QoS parameters of the UE's service data flow, so that the energy consumption of the service data flow transmission is reduced, thereby reducing the UE temperature.

For another example, when the UE's battery power is higher than the preset power, PCF can improve the QoS parameters of the UE's service data flow, increase the transmission bandwidth, reduce the transmission delay, etc., thereby improving the user experience.

For another example, when the UE is overheated, the PCF can reduce the QoS parameters of the UE's service data flow, so that the UE can reduce the processing volume of the service data flow and alleviate the UE overheating problem.

For another example, when the UE is powered by the mains and the UE temperature is low, the QoS parameters can be adjusted to increase the transmission bandwidth, reduce the transmission delay, etc.; thereby improving the user experience.

In one embodiment, the service data flow of the UE includes at least one of the following:

The XR class service data flow of the UE;

The multi-modal data service data flow of the UE.

XR service data flows usually have the characteristics of high bandwidth, low latency and high reliability requirements, which results in prominent UE energy consumption. The XR type service data flow has a strong correlation with the UE status indicated by the UE status information.

For example, XR service data flow will consume a large amount of UE battery power, causing the UE to require more power consumption.

Multimodal data service data flow is used to transmit data of different modalities. Multi-modal data service data flows also have the characteristics of high bandwidth, low latency and high reliability requirements, which results in prominent UE energy consumption. The multi-modal data service data flow has a strong correlation with the UE status indicated by the UE status information.

In this embodiment, the PCF updates the QoS parameters of the UE's XR-type service data flow and/or multi-modal data service data flow according to the UE status information, which can realize the transmission of the XR-type service data flow or the multi-modal data service data flow. The balance between performance (factors such as throughput, latency or reliability) and UE energy consumption.

In this embodiment, by sending the UE status information to the PCF, the PCF can determine the UE's policy based on the UE status information. The UE's policy determined in this way can reduce the waste of network resources and/or the UE caused by the inconsistency between the formulated policy and the UE's status. The phenomenon of energy consumption waste can achieve a balance between UE energy consumption and service transmission performance (factors such as throughput, delay or reliability).

In some examples, the UE status information is used for the PCF to update the policy of the UE by updating QoS parameters.

In some examples, the UE's policy includes:

The policy of the GBR data flow of the UE; and/or the policy of the Non-GBR data flow of the UE.

In some examples, the UE status information may be carried in a request response message, which is used to respond to the UE status information request message from the first AMF. For example, if the AMF requires that the UE status information can be used to set up or coordinate XRM services or XRM service groups, the AMF may send a UE status information request message to the RAN.

In some examples, the UE status information may be carried in an RRC message. For example, the RRC message may be sent to the first AMF when the UE transitions from the RRC inactive state to the RRC connected state.

Example 1

As shown in Figure 7, during the UE initial registration or mobile registration update period, the UE provides UE status information through the NAS (for example, the UE status information is carried in 5GMM Core Network Capability) and sends it to the AMF. The specific steps include:

Through NAS messages, UE status information (such as UE battery power, UE battery life cycle, UE power supply mode (including battery power or mains/wall power), UE CPU load, UE overheating status) is sent to AMF (for example, as one of the 5GMM Core Network Capabilities), and is sent to the PCF via the AMF; the PCF performs QoS updates on the UE and/or UE sessions and/or UE service data flows based on the UE status information (for example, on all or all XRM Some service data flows, or PDU sessions of XRM services, perform QoS updates).

For the specific transmission and update processing of related network functions (Network Function, NF), please refer to the following step description.

Step 701: The UE sends a registration request message to the (R)AN. The registration request carries the UE mobility management core network capability (UE 5GMM Core Network Capability). The UE mobility management core network capability includes the capability support of the UE status information.

The AN message sent by the UE to the (R)AN may include: AN parameters, registration request (registration type, SUCI or 5G-GUTI or PEI, [last accessed TAI (if available)], security parameters, [requested NSSAI], [Request NSSAI mapping], [Default configured NSSAI indication], [UE air interface capability update], [UE mobility management core network capability],...).

If the UE supports providing UE status information, the UE carries the UE status information in the registration request.

In order to ensure that the UE MM core network capability information stored in the AMF is up to date, the UE should send the NAS message carrying the UE MM core network capability information to the AMF during the initial registration and mobility registration update processes.

Step 703: (R) The AN selects the corresponding AMF and forwards the UE's registration request to the AMF. The N2 message carries the information of the registration request in step 701. AMF stores UE status information. Specifically, AMF stores the corresponding UE MM Core Network Capability containing UE status information into the UE context.

AMF checks event subscriptions (and/or combines subscription data and local policies) to confirm whether to perform subscription event reporting. For example, if you subscribe to the UE status update implementation, confirm whether the subscription reporting conditions are met (for example, the UE status changes, various thresholds are reached, or the power supply mode matches or changes, or an immediate report is received, or a periodic report, etc.), according to Subscription and reporting requirements, execution notification (notify) reporting. Or, the AMF combines the subscription data and/or the operator policy to confirm whether to send the UE status information to the PCF.

The N2 message sent by (R)AN to the new AMF (New AMF) may include: N2 parameters, registration request (such as step 701).

The AMF should always store the latest UE MM Core Network Capability received from the UE. When the UE provides UE MM Core Network Capability using registration signaling, any UE MM Core Network Capability received by the AMF from the old AMF/MME will be replaced.

Step 716: Optional, the new AMF performs AM Policy Association creation/modification. If the operator policy or subscription information contains UE status information provision requirements, the AMF provides the UE status information to the PCF.

Or PCF subscribes to UE status information from AMF, then AMF will report according to the reporting conditions of the subscription event (for example, UE status changes, various thresholds are reached, or the power supply mode matches or changes, or an immediate report is received, or a periodic report, etc.) Execute triggered reporting and transmit UE status information to PCF.

Step 721b: Optionally, the new AMF performs UE policy association establishment.

The new AMF sends an Npcf_UEPolicyControl creation request to PCF. PCF sends Npcf_UEPolicyControl creation response to the new AMF.

Optionally, in this step, the AMF may transmit the same UE status information in step 716 to the PCF.

If the operator policy or subscription information contains UE status information provision requirements, the AMF provides the UE status information to the PCF.

Or, PCF subscribes to UE status information from AMF, and AMF reports according to the reporting conditions of the subscription event (for example, UE status changes, various thresholds are reached, or the power supply mode matches or changes, or reports immediately upon receipt, or reports periodically, etc.) , execution triggers reporting. If this is a UE migration scenario, after the PCF subscribes to the old AMF, the subscription event is forwarded to the new AMF, and the new AMF triggers the report. Here, the old AMF is the AMF that the UE registered before registering with the new AMF.

Optionally, the PCF may perform UE-related policy updates based on the received UE status information. The PCF triggers the UE configuration update process and delivers the updated UE-related policies (for example, QoS update) to the AMF and UE. Or, when the SM association PCF is subscribed to the AMF, the PCF triggers the session modification process and delivers the updated session-related policies to the SMF (UPF), RAN, and UE.

Specifically, the PCF combines the UE status information to update the QoS bandwidth parameters of the corresponding UE's service session/service data flow (for example, XRM service or multi-modal data), including: 1) MFBR and GFBR of the GBR flow, 2) Non- AMBR of GBR streams; specifically, it may include upstream and/or downstream GBR/Non-GBR data streams.

Among them, GFBR updates are performed on GBR data streams, including reducing GFBR or increasing GFBR; relevant AMBR updates are performed on Non-GBR data streams, including reducing or increasing AMBR.

For AMBR updates, there can be three different levels: UE-AMBR, Session-AMBR and UE-Slice-MBR; among them, UE-Slice-MBR updates include: UE-Slice-MBR updates of GBR data streams and Non-GBR data streams UE-Slice-MBR update.

Based on the UE status information, for example, if the current UE temperature is too high and cannot meet the current bandwidth demand, the PCF reduces the Session-AMBR of the XRM service and specifically performs the following QoS update.

If the upstream and/or downstream Session-AMBR is sent to SMF, it is forwarded to UPF for execution. If the UPF receives a Session-AMBR value from the SMF, the UPF will enforce the PCF updated upstream and/or downstream Session-AMBR.

If Session-AMBR is sent to the UE, the UE performs the updated uplink Session-AMBR (if the UE receives the Session-AMBR, the UE will use the Session-AMBR to perform PDU session-based uplink rate limiting on the Non-GBR flow).

If the PCF updates UE-AMBR, for Non-GBR QoS traffic, the (R)AN shall enforce UE-AMBR for each UE in the downlink and uplink for Non-GBR QoS traffic.

If PCF updates MFBR, for GBR QoS traffic, UPF executes the updated downstream MFBR (MFBR is executed in the UPF of the downlink of GBR QoS flow). For GBR QoS flows, (R)AN performs updated upstream and downstream MFBR (MFBR is performed in (R)AN in the downlink and uplink of GBR QoS flows).

1) Whenever a request to establish or modify a GBR QoS flow is received, RAN admission control shall ensure that the sum of the GFBR values of the admitted GBR QoS flows does not exceed the UE-Slice-MBR, and if the QoS flow cannot be admitted, The RAN should reject the establishment/modification of QoS flows.

2) The RAN should ensure that the aggregate bitrate of all GBR and non-GBR QoS flows belonging to the PDU session does not exceed the UE-Slice-MBR, while always guaranteeing the GFBR of each GBR QoS flow of the PDU session.

Example 2

The UE sends UE status information to NG-RAN through NGAP messages.

The main difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the PCF obtains the UE status information from the AMF in different ways. In Example 1, the UE sends the UE status information to the AMF through a NAS message, which is transmitted to the PCF by the AMF; in Example 2, the RAN obtains the UE status information from the UE and sends it To the AMF, the AMF transmits it to the PCF.

As shown in Figure 8, the specific steps include:

Step 801: In the UE registration process, the UE sends a registration request message to the (R)AN, and the UE sends the UE status information (for example, UE battery power, UE battery life cycle, UE power supply mode (including battery power supply or mains/wall power supply) ), UE's CPU load, UE overheating status) are sent to NG-RAN; among them, UE status information is sent to NG-RAN as the AN parameter of the AN message. Or, optionally, the UE status information is also sent to the NG-RAN as a parameter in the registration request and forwarded directly to the AMF; or after the NG-RAN receives the UE status information in the AN parameter, it is combined with the operator's policy Or network configuration (for example, UE status information notification, or XRM service (or service group) function support), carry the received UE status information in the registration request and transmit it to the AMF. NG-RAN stores the received UE status information.

For example, the AN message sent by the UE to the (R)AN may include: AN parameters (UE status information, such as UE battery power, UE battery life, UE power supply mode (including battery power supply or mains/wall power supply), UE CPU load, UE overheating status, etc.), registration request (registration type, SUCI 5G-GUTI or PEI, [last accessed TAI (if available)], security parameters, [requested NSSAI], [requested NSSAI mapping], [default Configured NSSAI indication], [UE air interface capability update], [UE mobility management core network capability],...).

Another example, UE to (R)AN: AN message (AN parameters, Registration Request (registration type, SUCI or 5G-GUTI or PEI, [last accessed TAI (if available)], security parameters, [requested NSSAI] , [Mapping of requested NSSAI], [Default configured NSSAI indication], [UE radio capability update], [UE MM core network capabilities], [UE status information, such as UE battery power, UE battery life, power supply mode ( Including battery power supply or mains/wall power supply), UE overheating status],...).

Step 802: NG-RAN stores the received UE status information. According to the AMF selection strategy, select the AMF to perform the UE registration process.

For step 803, step 816 and step 821, please refer to Example 1 and will not be described again here.

The remaining steps can be performed with reference to the registration process of the existing technology.

After obtaining it, AMF sends the UE status information to PCF according to the same sending method as in Example 1, that is, the method AMF sends to PCF may include: 1) PCF sends UE status information subscription request to AMF. After AMF meets the reporting conditions Report to PCF (reporting conditions, for example, receiving UE status information subscription report, reporting periodically, reaching a certain reporting threshold of relevant status information, or receiving immediate reporting instructions); 2) or AMF according to the contract information or operation Business strategies, decisions need to be sent and proactively sent to PCF.

For a detailed description of QoS update performed by PCF, please refer to Example 1, and the description will not be repeated here.

In addition, the AMF obtains the UE status information from the RAN, and can also obtain it through the application scenarios of Example 3 and Example 4.

Example 3

If the AMF requires that the UE status information can be used to set or coordinate XRM services or XRM service groups, the AMF may send a UE status information request message to the NG-RAN. This procedure is typically used during the registration procedure or when the AMF does not receive status information or XRM service indicators (e.g. as part of the 5GMM context).

As shown in Figure 9, the specific steps include:

Step 901: The AMF indicates whether the AMF wants to receive UE status information and/or XRM service (or service group) indicator. The AMF may contain UE status information previously received by the AMF from the NG-RAN.

Step 902: After the NG-RAN receives the UE status information request message, the NG-RAN requests the UE to upload the UE status information, or requests the UE status information if there is no valid UE status information locally.

Step 903: The UE provides the UE status information for sending the RRC message to the NG-RAN.

Step 904: NG-RAN stores UE status information. NG-RAN checks whether the UE status information is compatible with operator policies (such as network configuration) to support XRM services.

In order to determine the appropriate UE status information response, the operator can configure the NG-RAN to check whether the UE supports certain capabilities required by the XRM service. In a shared network, NG-RAN reserves a separate configuration for each PLMN.

NG-RAN provides UE status information and/or XRM service (or service group) indicators to the AMF to indicate whether the UE status information (or UE capabilities, if the status information is included as part of the capabilities) and operator policies are compatible, supported XRM business (e.g. suitable for power consumption requirements).

The AMF stores received UE status information and/or XRM service (or service group) indicators (eg in 5GMM context). UE status information can be used as input for setting up XRM services.

Step 905: If the NG-RAN requests the UE status information from the UE in

steps

902 and 903, the NG-RAN also sends the UE status information to the AMF. The AMF stores UE status information and/or XRM service (or service group) indicators.

Example 4

UE-triggered connection recovery during RRC deactivation (can provide UE status information)

The UE uses the connection recovery procedure to perform transition from the RRC inactive (Inactive) state to the RRC connected (Connected) state.

As shown in Figure 10, the specific steps include:

Step 1001: UE to NG-RAN: RRC message (Resume ID). The UE initiates a transition from the RRC inactive state to the RRC connected state. The UE provides the Resume ID required by NG-RAN to access the context stored by the UE.

The UE provides UE status information required by NG-RAN, which can be used to check operator policies or network configurations (such as XRM service/service group support).

Step 1002: NG-RAN stores the received UE status information.

NG-RAN performs UE context retrieval. UE context retrieval is performed when the UE context associated with the UE trying to resume its connection is not available locally in the accessed NG-RAN.

Step 1003: N2 path switching procedure. If the accessed NG-RAN can retrieve the UE context, the accessed NG-RAN node starts the N2 path switching process.

If the AMF requests N2 notification from NG-RAN, NG-RAN sends a UE notification message to report that the UE is in the RRC connected state.

If UE status information notification is requested, NG-RAN provides the received UE status information to the AMF.

Step 1004: NG-RAN to UE: RRC message. NG-RAN confirms to the UE that the UE has entered the RRC Connected state.

The information processing method provided by this disclosure supports throughput/delay/ Balance of reliability and power consumption (e.g., policy determination and enforcement can be based on UE status information).

As shown in Figure 11, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing device 100, which is applied to PCF. The device includes:

The receiving module 110 is used to receive the UE status information of the UE;

The determining module 120 is configured to determine the policy of the UE according to the UE status information.
