下面通过附图和实施例,对本公开的技术方案做进一步的详细描述。
发明人发现,在无线通讯网络中实现分布式模型训练时,当前RAN侧尚不支持对于分布式模型训练的配置。为实现分布式模型训练的性能监测,需要RAN支持对分布式模型的训练组的维护,包括组成员的建立、更新、添加、删除等,以用于提高和保障分布式模型训练的性能。
针对上述问题,本公开提出一种终端的配置方法、终端、网络设备、系统和存储介质,以提供RAN侧支持分布式模型训练的配置方案,提高在无线通信网络中分布式模型训练的控制能力。
在一些实施例中,本公开提出一种分布式网络架构,包括分布式节点(或称为分布式模型训练的本地客户端)和中心节点(或称为分布式模型训练的服务器端)。由分布式节点执行模型的训练,分布式节点产生的训练结果汇总至中心节点;中心节点能够对分布式节点进行配置、更新模型,以及汇总各个分布式节点的训练结果。在一些实施例中,分布式节点为终端。在一些实施例中,中心节点包括gNB、OAM、LMF或UE中的至少一项。
本公开由能够作为分布式节点的终端侧执行的终端配置方法的一些实施例的流程图如图1所示。
在步骤130中,终端接收用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息。在一些实施例中,该信息可以来自分布式模型的训练组的中心节点。在一些实施例中,该信息包括第一配置信息、第二配置信息和第三配置信息,其中,第一配置信息用于指示终端作为分布式模型的训练组中的分布式节点执行模型训练的去激活;第二配置信息用于指示终端作为分布式模型的训练组中的分布式节点执行模型训练的删除操
作;和第三配置信息用于指示终端作为训练组中的分布式节点执行模型训练的激活。
在一些实施例中,分布式模型可以包括联邦学习模型,从而避免了在分布式节点间、分布式节点与中心节点间的训练数据的传输,在降低数据传输压力的同时,提高了数据的安全保障。
根据终端当前的RRC状态的不同,终端能够接收到的用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息种类也有所不同。具体的,步骤130包括步骤131和步骤132。
在步骤131中,若终端的当前RRC状态为非激活态,则终端能够接收到第一配置信息和第二配置信息,即终端接收到的用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息为第一、第二配置信息中的任意一种。训练组的中心节点在终端的RRC状态为非激活态的情况下,不会配置终端作为分布式节点在训练组中处于激活态,因此,终端不能够收到第三配置信息。
在步骤132中,若终端的当前RRC状态为连接态,则终端能够接收到第一、第二和第三配置信息,即终端接收到的用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息为第一、第二或第三配置信息中的任意一种。训练组的中心节点在终端的RRC状态为连接的情况下,能够使用该终端进行分布式模型训练,因此能够配置终端作为分布式节点在训练组中处于激活态,终端能够收到第三配置信息。
在一些实施例中,若终端为离线状态,则终端可以基于本地模型执行训练操作,不接收来自中心节点的配置信息。
基于上述实施例中的方法,能够将终端的RRC状态,与终端在分布式模型的训练组中作为分布式节点的状态相关联,从而避免要求非激活态的终端执行模型训练所造成的训练和数据反馈不及时,提高分布式模型的训练的可靠性和运行稳定性。
在一些实施例中,如图1中所示,终端配置方法还包括步骤140:终端根据收到的第一、第二或第三配置信息,配置自身的作为分布式节点在训练组中的当前状态。在一些实施例中,若终端收到的为第一配置信息,则终端切换为分布式节点非激活态,暂停训练归属于第一配置信息中所指示的训练组的模型;若终端收到的为第二配置信息,则终端退出第二配置信息中所指示的训练组;若终端收到的为第二配置信息,则终端切换为分布式节点激活态,启动第三配置信息中所指示的训练组的模型训练。
基于该实施例中的方法,终端能够根据来自中心节点的信息修改自身的状态,包括启动模型训练、暂停模型训练、退出训练组(在训练组中呈离线状态),从而使来自中心节点的控制信息能够及时影响分布式节点的状态,提高分布式节点控制的灵活
度、准确度和效率。
本公开由能够作为分布式模型训练组的中心节点执行的终端配置方法的一些实施例的流程图如图2所示。
在步骤220中,中心节点向终端发送用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息。在一些实施例中,被配置的终端为与中心节点处于同一个训练组的分布式节点。在一些实施例中,该信息包括第一配置信息、第二配置信息和第三配置信息,其中,第一配置信息用于指示终端作为分布式模型的训练组中的分布式节点执行模型训练的去激活;第二配置信息用于指示终端作为分布式模型的训练组中的分布式节点执行模型训练的删除操作;和第三配置信息用于指示终端作为训练组中的分布式节点执行模型训练的激活。
根据终端当前的RRC状态的不同,中心节点能够生成和发送的用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息种类也有所不同。具体的,步骤220包括步骤221和步骤222。
在步骤221中,若终端的当前RRC状态为非激活态,则中心节点能够向终端发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息,即中心节点发送的用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息为第一、第二配置信息中的任意一种。训练组的中心节点在终端的RRC状态为非激活态的情况下,不会配置终端作为分布式节点在训练组中处于激活态,因此,中心节点不能够发送第三配置信息。
在步骤222中,若终端的当前RRC状态为连接态,则终端能够接收到第一、第二和第三配置信息,即中心节点发送的用于配置终端在分布式模型的训练组中状态的信息为第一、第二或第三配置信息中的任意一种。训练组的中心节点在终端的RRC状态为连接的情况下,能够使用该终端进行分布式模型训练,因此能够配置终端作为分布式节点在训练组中处于激活态,中心节点能够第三配置信息。
基于上述实施例中的方法,能够将终端的RRC状态,与终端在分布式模型的训练组中作为分布式节点的状态相关联,从而避免要求非激活态的终端执行模型训练所造成的训练和数据反馈不及时,提高分布式模型的训练的可靠性和运行稳定性。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,由中心节点执行的终端的配置方法还可以包括在步骤220之前执行的步骤210。
在步骤210中,中心节点根据终端的RRC状态和自身的控制需求,生成第一配置信息、第二配置信息或第三配置信息。
在一些实施例中,中心节点的控制需求可以包括激活模型训练、去激活模型训练、删除分布式节点中的至少一种。
在一些实施例中,当控制中心需要激活模型训练时,从终端中选择RRC状态为连接态的终端,生成第三配置信息。当控制中心需要去激活模型训练或删除分布式节点时,可以在RRC状态为去激活和连接态的终端中选择。对于RRC状态为离线的终端,控制中心的控制消息难以到达,因此不生成对于RRC离线的终端的控制信息。
基于上述实施例中的方法,中心节点能够结合终端的RRC状态和自身的控制需求,在终端中选择合适的终端来生成控制信息,从而确保控制信息能够被终端执行,提高控制的成功率和控制效率。
在一些实施例中,第一配置信息、第二配置信息和第三配置信息位于训练组的组配置信息中,终端除了能够根据组配置信息执行删除、激活或去激活外,还可以执行分布式节点的建立、更新、添加等中的至少一项。在一些实施例中,终端能够根据来自中心节点的组配置信息,获取成为分布式节点的必要信息,如模型信息,实现分布式节点的建立;终端能够根据来自中心节点的组配置信息更新存储的模型或模型参数,实现分布式节点的更新;终端能够加入中心节点指定的训练组,实现分布式节点的添加。

在一些实施例中,分布式模型训练组具有组标识(组ID),组标识在小区、小区组、TA范围或PLMN内唯一。在一些实施例中,组标识作为一个整体,是相同的TA、PLMN、gNB或CU范围内的唯一标识,从而能够便于唯一的识别训练组,便于后续以训练组为单位进行控制,提高控制识别的准确度。例如,同一个终端可以为多个训练组的分布式节点,终端根据收到的组配置信息中的组标识确定配置操作针对的训练组,避免影响其他训练组中的模型训练,提高分布式模型训练的可靠性。
在一些实施例中,组标识的格式可以为:两部分比特位串联组成,包括:用于分布式模型训练类型的第一比特位和用于在相同分布式模型训练类型中区分训练组的第二比特位,将第一、第二比特位拼接后得到的组标识则能够唯一的标识训练组。这样的组标识能够在唯一的标识分布式模型的训练组的同时,也能够便于识别归属的分布式模型训练类型,提高管理的便捷度。
在一些实施例中,组配置信息中包括组标识、模型标识或中心节点标识中的至少
一种。
在一些实施例中,终端根据组标识确定组配置信息对应的训练组,从而提高后续配置的准确性,避免影响其他训练组的模型训练;在一些实施例中,同一个训练组可以包括一个或多个分布式模型,终端根据模型标识确定组配置信息针对的模型,提高控制的灵活度;在一些实施例中,同一个训练组中可以包括一个或多个中心节点,终端根据中心节点标识确定发起控制的中心节点,从而便于后续对控制的溯源。
在一些实施例中,组配置信息中还包括变更状态的节点、模型或功能中至少一项的标识。在一些实施例中,组配置信息中包括变更的节点的标识,如删除的分布式节点的标识、删除的分布式节点的列表、添加的分布式节点的标识、添加的分布式节点的列表、激活的分布式节点的标识、激活的分布式节点的列表、去激活的分布式节点的标识或去激活的分布式节点的列表中的至少一项;组配置信息中包括变更状态的模型的标识,如激活的模型的标识、激活的模型的列表、去激活的模型的标识或去激活的模型的列表中的至少一项;组配置信息中包括变更状态的功能的标识,如激活的功能的标识、激活的功能的列表、去激活的功能的标识或去激活的功能的列表中的至少一项。在一些实施例中,可以在组配置信息中可以设置不同的用于承载标识信息的字段,终端通过识别组配置信息中标识信息所位于的字段,确定标识的种类和后续的配置方式。
通过这样的方法,中心节点能够从节点、模型、功能维度,对一个或多个分布式节点发起控制,提高控制的灵活度和控制效率。
在一些实施例中,组配置信息中可以通过变更状态的节点、模型或功能中至少一项的标识承载第一配置信息、第二配置信息或第三配置信息中的至少一项。
