具体实施方式
图1为一种可能的、非限制性的系统示意图。如图1所示,通信系统10包括无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)100和核心网(core network,CN)200。可选的,该通信系统还包括互联网300。RAN 100包括至少一个RAN节点(如图1中的110a和110b,统称为110)和至少一个终端(如图1中的120a-120j,统称为120)。RAN 100中还可以包括其它RAN节点,例如,无线中继设备和/或无线回传设备(图1中未示出)等。终端120通过无线的方式与RAN节点110相连。RAN节点110通过无线或有线方式与核心网200连接。核心网200中的核心网设备与RAN 100中的RAN节点110可以分别是不同的物理设备,也可以是集成了核心网逻辑功能和无线接入网逻辑功能的同一个物理设备。
RAN 100可以为第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)相关的蜂窝系统,例如,4G、5G移动通信系统、或面向未来的演进系统。RAN 100还可以是开放式接入网(open RAN,O-RAN或ORAN)、云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)、或者无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)系统。RAN 100还可以是以上两种或两种以上系统融合的通信系统。
RAN节点110,有时也可以称为接入网设备,RAN实体或接入节点等,构成通信系统的一部分,用以帮助终端实现无线接入。通信系统10中的多个RAN节点110可以为同一类型的节点,也可以为不同类型的节点。在一些场景下,RAN节点110和终端120的角色是相对的,例如,图1中网元120i可以是直升机或无人机,其可以被配置成移动基站,对于那些通过网元120i接入到RAN 100的终端120j来说,网元120i是基站;但对于基站110a来说,网元120i是终端。RAN节点110和终端120有时都称为通信装置,例如图1中网元110a和110b可以理解为具有基站功能的通信装置,网元120a-120j可以理解为具有终端功能的通信装置。
在一种可能的场景中,RAN节点可以是基站(base station)、演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNodeB)、接入点(access point,AP)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、下一代基站(next generation NodeB,gNB)、未来移动通信系统中的基站、或Wi-Fi系统中的接入节点等。RAN节点可以是宏基站(如图1中的110a)、微基站或室内站(如图1中的110b)、中继节点或施主节点、或者是CRAN场景下的无线控制器。可选的,RAN节点还可以是服务器,可穿戴设备,车辆或车载设备等。例如,车辆外联(vehicle to everything,V2X)技术中的接入网设备可以为路侧单元(road side unit,RSU)。本申请中的RAN节点的全部或部分功能也可以通过在硬件上运行的软件功能来实现,或者通过平台(例如云平台)上实例化的虚拟化功能来实现。RAN节点中还可以设置有执行相应通信功能的通信模组、电路或芯片。RAN节点中还可以配置有用于执行相应通信功能的程序指令以及相应的程序指令。本申请中的RAN节点还可以是能实现全部或部分RAN节点功能的逻辑节点、逻辑模块或软件。
在另一种可能的场景中,由多个RAN节点协作协助终端实现无线接入,不同RAN节点分别实现基站的部分功能。例如,RAN节点可以是集中式单元(central unit,CU),分布式单元(distributed unit,DU),CU-控制面(control plane,CP),CU-用户面(user plane,UP),或者无线单元(radio unit,RU)等。CU和DU可以是单独设置,或者也可以包括在同一个网元中,例如基带单元(baseband unit,BBU)中。RU可以包括在射频设备或者射频单元中,例如包括在射频拉远单元(remote radio unit,RRU)、有源天线处理单元(active antenna unit,AAU)或远程射频头(remote radio head,RRH)中。
在不同系统中,CU(或CU-CP和CU-UP)、DU或RU也可以有不同的名称,但是本领域的技术人员可以理解其含义。例如,在ORAN系统中,CU也可以称为O-CU(开放式CU),DU也可以称为O-DU,CU-CP也可以称为O-CU-CP,CU-UP也可以称为O-CU-UP,RU也可以称为O-RU。为描述方便,本申请中以CU,CU-CP,CU-UP、DU和RU为例进行描述。本申请中的CU(或CU-CP、CU-UP)、DU和RU中的任一单元,可以是通过软件模块、硬件模块、或者软件模块与硬件模块结合来实现。
终端(terminal),可以为接入上述通信系统,且具有相应通信功能的设备或模组。终端也可以称为终端设备、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台、移动终端等。终端可以广泛应用于各种场景,例如,设备到设备(device-to-device,D2D)、车物(vehicle to everything,V2X)通信、机器类通信(machine-type communication,MTC)、物联网(internet of things,IOT)、虚拟现实、增强现实、工业控制、自动驾驶、远程医疗、智能电网、智能家具、智能办公、智能穿戴、智能交通、智慧城市等。终端可以是手机、平板电脑、带无线收发功能的电脑、可穿戴设备、车辆、无人机、直升机、飞机、轮船、机器人、机械臂、智能家居设备、具有无线通信功能的运输载具、通信模组等。本申请的实施例对终端的设备形态不做限定。终端内通常设置有执行相应通信功能的通信模组、电路或芯片。终端内还以配置用于执行相应通信功能的程序指令。
为了在无线网络中支持人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)技术,网络中还可能引入AI节点。
AI节点可以部署于该通信系统中的如下位置中的一项或多项:接入网节点(RAN节点)、终端设备、或核心网设备等,或者,AI节点也可单独部署,例如,部署于上述任一项设备之外的位置,比如,过顶(over the top,OTT)系统的主机或云端服务器中。AI节点可以与通信系统中的其它设备通信,其它设备例如可以为以下中的一项或多项:网络设备,终端设备,或,核心网的网元等。
可以理解,本申请对于AI节点的数量不予限制。例如,当有多个AI节点时,多个AI节点可以基于功能进行划分,如不同的AI节点负责不同的功能。
还可以理解,AI节点可以是各自独立的设备,也可以集成于同一设备中实现不同的功能,或者可以是硬件设备中的网络元件,也可以是在专用硬件上运行的软件功能,或者是平台(例如,云平台)上实例化的虚拟化功能,本申请对于上述AI节点的具体形态不作限定。
AI节点可以为AI网元或AI模块。
图2为通信系统中的一种可能的应用框架示意图。如图2所示,通信系统中网元之间通过接口(例如NG,Xn),或空口相连。这些网元节点,例如核心网设备、接入网节点(RAN节点)、终端或运行管理维护(operations administration and maintenance,OAM)中的一个或多个设备中设置有一个或多个AI模块(为清楚起见,图2中仅示出1个)。接入网节点可以作为单独的RAN节点,也可以包括多个RAN节点,例如,包括CU和DU。所述CU和、或DU也可以设置一个或多个AI模块。CU还可以被拆分为CU-CP和CU-UP,CU-CP和/或CU-UP中设置有一个或多个AI模块。
AI模块用以实现相应的AI功能。不同网元中部署的AI模块可以相同或不同。AI模块的模型根据不同的参数配置,可以实现不同的功能。AI模块的模型可以是基于以下一项或多项参数配置的:结构参数(例如神经网络层数、神经网络宽度、层间的连接关系、神经元的权值、神经元的激活函数、或激活函数中的偏置中的至少一项)、输入参数(例如输入参数的类型和/或输入参数的维度)、或输出参数(例如输出参数的类型和/或输出参数的维度)。其中,激活函数中的偏置还可以称为神经网络的偏置。
在一个示例中,上述神经网络可以为深度神经网络(deep neural network,DNN)、卷积神经网络(convolutional neuron network,CNN)、循环神经网络(recurrent neural networks,RNN)、生成式对抗网络(generative adversarial networks,GAN)。
DNN是一种人工神经网络架构,它具有多层非线性变换单元,这些单元以层级结构的形式堆叠在一起,从而形成了深层次的计算模型。相较于浅层神经网络,深度神经网络拥有更多的隐藏层,允许网络模型捕获更为复杂的数据内在结构和高层次的抽象特征。
CNN是一种带有卷积结构的深度神经网络。CNN包含了一个由卷积层和子采样层构成的特征抽取器。该特征抽取器可以看作是滤波器,卷积过程可以看作是使用一个可训练的滤波器与一个输入的图像或者卷积特征平面(feature map)做卷积。
RNN是一类以序列(sequence)数据为输入,在序列的演进方向进行递归且所有节点(循环单元)按链式连接的递归神经网络(recursive neural network)。
GAN是一种深度学习模型。由一个生成器和一个判别器构成,通过对抗学习的方式来训练,目的是估测数据样本的潜在分布并生成新的数据样本。
一个AI模块可以具有一个或多个模型。一个模型可以推理得到一个输出,该输出包括一个参数或者多个参数。不同模型的学习过程、训练过程、或推理过程可以部署在不同的节点或设备中,或者可以部署在相同的节点或设备中。
图3为通信系统中的一种可能的应用框架示意图。如图3所示,通信系统中包括RAN智能控制器(RAN intelligent controller,RIC)。例如,RIC可以是图2中示出的AI模块,用于实现AI相关的功能。RIC包括近实时RIC(near-real time RIC,near-RT RIC),和非实时RIC(non-real time RIC,Non-RT RIC)。其中,非实时RIC主要处理非实时的信息,比如,对时延不敏感的数据,该数据的时延可以为秒级。实时RIC主要处理近实时的信息,比如,对时延相对敏感的数据,该数据的时延为数十毫秒级。
近实时RIC用于进行模型训练和推理。例如,用于训练AI模型,利用该AI模型进行推理。近实时RIC可以从RAN节点(例如CU、CU-CP、CU-UP、DU和/或RU)和/或终端获得网络侧和/或终端侧的信息。该信息可以作为训练数据或者推理数据。近实时RIC可以将推理结果递交给RAN节点和/或终端。CU和DU之间,和/或DU和RU之间可以交互推理结果。例如近实时RIC将推理结果递交给DU,DU将其发给RU。
非实时RIC也用于进行模型训练和推理。例如,用于训练AI模型,利用该模型进行推理。非实时RIC可以从RAN节点(例如CU、CU-CP、CU-UP、DU和/或RU)和/或终端获得网络侧和/或终端侧的信息。该信息可以作为训练数据或者推理数据,推理结果可以被递交给RAN节点和/或终端。CU和DU之间,和/或DU和RU之间可以交互推理结果,例如非实时RIC将推理结果递交给DU,由DU将其发给RU。
近实时RIC,非实时RIC也可以分别作为一个网元单独设置。近实时RIC,非实时RIC还可以作为其他设备的一部分,例如,近实时RIC设置在RAN节点中(例如,CU,DU中),而非实时RIC设置在OAM中、云服务器中、核心网设备、或者其他网络设备中。
在一些无线通信系统的应用场景中,为降低传输量、减少对传输带宽的需求,一般会通过编码方式传输原始数据,比如采用语义通信(Semantic Communication)。语义通信是指对原始数据进行编码(包括有选择的特征提取、压缩等),然后传输编码后的数据,实现用语义表征信息进行通信的技术。参考图4,数据x(如图片)依次通过语义信源编码器(用于进行语义信源编码)以及联合的信道编码器(用于进行信道编码)进行编码,以提取该数据x的语义信息,这些信息可以是源信号恢复或智能任务执行。一般来说,语义信源编码器可以理解为语义信源解码模型、信道编码器可以理解为信道编码模型。可以理解,还包括对上述编码模型有帮助的数据或模型。接收端在接收到数据x的语义信息之后,基于解码器(包括语义信源解码模型和信道解码模型)对语义信息解码,进而将该语义信息恢复为数据x`。以数据x为图片为例,接收端基于解码器恢复的图片与原图片相比,像素点可能不会完全正确,但语义层面正确。
然而,在面对网络波动时,不能根据实时的网络状态选择合适的编码模型,从而导致编码后的数据(即语义信息)可能出现因时延高、带宽小导致的语义信息传输时延高,使得语义通信的质量会下降,影响数据发送端和数据接收端之间的通信质量。为此,本申请提供一种通信方法,用以优化通信质量。
下面结合附图对本申请提供的通信方法及通信装置进行进一步介绍。可以理解的,本申请中是以第一设备和第二设备作为该交互示意的执行主体为例进行示意的,但本申请并不限制交互示意的执行主体,例如,本申请中由第一设备执行的方法,也可以由第一设备中的模块(例如电路,芯片或芯片系统等)、或者能实现全部或部分第一设备功能的逻辑节点、逻辑模块或软件来实现。本申请中由第二设备执行的方法,也可以由第二设备中的模块(例如电路,芯片或芯片系统等)、或者能实现全部或部分第二设备功能的逻辑节点、逻辑模块或软件来实现。其中,针对不同的应用场景,第一设备可以是应用服务器、终端设备等;第二设备可以是核心网设备、接入网设备、路由设备等。例如包括以下应用场景:

基于上述应用场景,图6为本申请提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤601:第一设备向第二设备发送第一信息,第一信息指示候选模型。
该步骤中,基于模型参数(如编码速率、量化步长、压缩率等)的不同,候选模型为多个(即至少为两个)。
一种可能的实现方式中,候选模型与网络状态关联。且这些候选模型中至少两个候选模型关联的网络状态不同。可以理解,网络状态由与数据接收端设备(为了便于描述,下面简称为第三设备)进行通信的设备(如与第三设备通信的基站)确定。
一种可能的实现方式中,网络状态可以根据以下至少一项因素进行划分,至少一项因素包括但不限于:带宽、延迟、丢包率等。比如,若当前时刻的第三设备对应的信道带宽在第一范围(如5MHz-15MHz),那么当前时刻对应一个网络状态;若当前时刻的第三设备对应的信道带宽在第二范围(如15MHz-25MHz),那么当前时刻对应另一个网络状态。可以理解,网络状态可以根据上述单一因素或多个因素组合进行划分,在此不做具体限定。
一种可能的实现方式中,网络状态被划分为不同的等级,其等级与网络传输速率、基站算力、能耗等关联。比如,网络状态被划分为3个等级,等级1与较快的网络传输速率关联,等级2与中等的网络传输速率关联,等级3与较慢的网络传输速率关联。可以理解,网络传输速率与带宽、延迟、丢包率等因素相关,网络状态可以根据网络传输速率的范围划分更多的等级,本申请对此不进行具体限定,且不对网络传输速率的快慢进行定义。
一种可能的实现方式中,这些候选模型可以是第一设备根据第一数据的属性确定的。其中,第一数据为第一设备需要发送的数据,属性也可以称为参数、规格等。可选的,第一数据可以是视频数据、图片数据、音频数据、文本数据等。以第一数据是视频数据为例,候选模型是对视频数据进行编码的模型,即,候选模型用于对视频数据进行编码,比如候选模型为AI Codec模型,AI Codec模型,包括但不限于基于卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Networks,CNN)的视频编码模型、基于Transformer的视频编码模型、基于生成式的视频编码模型等。
第一数据的属性包括以下至少一项:数据量、帧率、应用场景。其中,数据量表示第一数据的数据大小,帧率表示第一数据中图像连续显示的频率,应用场景表示第一数据所应用的场景(或者可以理解为显示的场景)。比如应用场景包括APP、网页等,即,应用场景可以表示对显示图像的清晰度要求。可选的,第一设备可以根据第一数据的参数确定压缩率范围,进而根据该压缩率范围确定候选模型。比如,第一数据的数据量较大、帧率较大、应用场景对清晰度要求较小,那么该第一数据对应的压缩率范围可以是较大的范围(如40%-60%)。因为模型参数的不同,任意两个候选模型的压缩率是不同的,所以该压缩率范围一般会对应多个候选模型。比如,该压缩率范围对应5个候选模型,分别为h1、h2、h3、h4、h5。
一种可能的实现方式中,这些候选模型可以是预先发送给第二设备的,或者说第一设备与第二设备预先约定了这些候选模型,且这些候选模型具有唯一标识。这样,第一信息可以包括候选模型的唯一标识来指示候选模型。或者,第一信息可以包括模型参数来指示候选模型。同理,网络状态也可以是第一设备与第二设备预先约定的。为此,第一信息可以通过映射关系的形式(如key-value形式)指示每个候选模型所关联的网络状态。比如,候选模型包括h1、h2、h3、h4、h5,网络状态包括2个等级,分别为等级1和等级2;其中,候选模型h1、h3、h4与等级1对应的网络状态关联,候选模型h2、h5与等级2对应的网络状态关联。可选的,一个候选模型可以关联至少一个网络状态。比如,候选模型h1分别与等级1对应的网络状态、等级2对应的网络状态关联。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一信息指示候选模型的模型参数,该模型参数被第二设备用于从候选模型中确定目标模型,具体描述参考下述步骤602。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一信息还指示至少两个候选模型的优先级,可选的,该至少两个候选模型与同一个网络状态关联。可以理解,针对任一网络状态,与该网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型的优先级是不同的,这个优先级表示将候选模型选择为目标模型的优先级。比如,按照优先级从高到底的顺序,与等级1对应的网络状态关联的候选模型分别为h3、h1、h4,反之亦然。
一种可能的实现方式中,至少两个候选模型的优先级还可以是第一设备通过向第二设备发送另一个信息指示的,本申请在此不做限定。
可选的,基于网络状态的变化,第一信息可以是第一设备周期性发送的,以此实现周期性的选择目标模型,保证目标模型与当前网络状态的实时性,防止出现目标模型不适用变化后的网络状态的情况,保证目标模型使用的准确性。
步骤602:第二设备根据当前网络状态从候选模型中选择目标模型。
一种可能的实现方式中,第二设备可以通过当前带宽、延迟、丢包率等因素确定当前网络状态,具体描述参考步骤601中的描述,本申请在此不做赘述。第二设备确定出当前网络状态之后,选择与当前网络状态关联候选模型,然后再从与当前网络状态关联候选模型中选择目标模型。比如,当前网络状态为等级1对应的网络状态,与当前网络状态关联的候选模型包括h1、h3、h4。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一信息还指示与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型的优先级。因此,第二设备可以根据与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型的优先级,从与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型中确定目标模型。
可选的,第二设备将与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型中优先级最高的候选模型作为目标模型。比如,按照优先级从高到底的顺序,与当前网络状态关联的候选模型分别为h3、h1、h4,因此,第二设备将候选模型h3选择为目标模型。
可选的,第二设备根据候选模型的模型参数、当前网络状态、第三设备的资源调度情况以及与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型的优先级,通过加权求和等计算方式,从与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型中选择目标模型。其中,第三设备的资源调度情况的权重、模型参数的权重、优先级的权重可以是根据经验预设的值。可以理解,不同网络状态对应的优先级的权重、任一模型参数的权重是不同的。另外,计算方式还可以为除加权求和以外的其他算法,本申请在此不做具体限定。
示例性的,第三设备的资源调度情况包括但不限于以下信息:数据包时延要求,数据包剩余时延,数据包大小,分配给数据包的资源大小等。当前网络状态包括但不限于以下信息:网络的带宽、基站算力、能耗等。
可选的,第二设备可以根据当前网络状态以及第三设备的资源调度情况为不同的模型参数以及优先级分配权重,进而根据不同的模型参数以及优先级对应的权重进行加权求和,得到每个候选模型对应的评分值。比如,压缩率分配权重w1、编码速率分配权重w2,优先级分配权重w3,候选模型对应的评分值如下述公式(1)所示:
M=w1*q1+w2*q2+w3*q3                         公式(1);
其中,M为候选模型的评分值,q1表示候选模型的压缩率,q2表示候选模型的编码速率,q3表示候选模型的优先级,w1表示压缩率的权重,w2表示编码速率的权重,w3表示优先级的权重。可以理解,上述公式(1)仅是示例,模型参数还可以包括其它参数,本申请在此不做限定以及赘述。
一种可能的实现方式中,第二设备可以根据当前网络状态选择适应于当前网络状态的目标模型。比如,当前网络状态为等级1(即当前网络状态的网络传输速率较快),那么第二设备所选择的目标模型的压缩率较小。可以理解,压缩率越小,原始数据(即第一数据)与编码后的数据的差异越小,同理,解码后的数据与原始数据越接近,以此在满足数据的传输要求基础上,保证第三设备接收到的数据的清晰度和准确性。再如,当前网络状态为等级3(即当前网络状态的网络传输速率较慢),那么第二设备所选择的目标模型的压缩率较大。可以理解,压缩率越大,编码后数据的数据量越小,以此保证数据满足传输要求。也就是说,第二设备可以基于当前网络状态,直接根据候选模型的模型参数从候选模型中选择目标模型。可以理解,候选模型的参数包括但不限于:编码速率、量化步长等,第二设备可以根据多个候选模型参数来选择目标模型,本申请在此不做限定。
步骤603:第二设备向第一设备发送第二信息,第二信息指示目标模型。
该步骤中,第二信息还指示目标模型的生效时间,该生效时间表示使用目标模型的有效时间。比如,第一设备在生效时间内根据目标模型对第一数据进行编码。
一种可能的实现方式中,生效时间包括起始时刻。基于此,第一设备可以在到达起始时刻时,根据目标模型对第一数据进行编码。
一种可能的实现方式中,生效时间包括起始时刻和生效时长。基于此,第一设备可以在到达起始时刻时,且在生效时长内,根据目标模型对第一数据进行编码。即,随着时间的推移,当前时刻不在生效时长内时,第一设备不再使用该目标模型对第一数据进行编码。
一种可能的实现方式中,生效时间包括起始时刻和结束时刻。基于此,第一设备可以在起始时刻至结束时刻的时段内,根据目标模型对第一数据进行编码。
一种可能的实现方式中,生效时间的形式包括但不限于:起始时刻距离第二设备决策时间的偏移值、绝对起始时刻、时间窗(起始时刻处于该时间窗内),最晚起始时刻等,本申请在此不对生效时间的形式进行限定。
可选的,第二设备为与第三设备进行通信的接入网设备(如基站),那么,第二设备可以通过N3接口将第二信息发送至核心网设备,核心网设备再通过N6接口将第二信息发送至第一设备。
步骤604:第一设备根据目标模型对第一数据进行编码,得到第二数据。
该步骤中,第一设备接收到第二信息之后,判断当前所使用的模型是否为该目标模型,若是,则继续使用该目标模型。否则,将当前模型的参数调整为该目标模型的参数,即,使用该目标模型。第二数据为对第一数据编码后的数据,比如第二数据为第一数据的语义信息。可以理解,第二数据的数据量小于第一数据。其中,使用目标模型对第一数据编码过程,本申请在此不做限定。
步骤605:第一设备向第二设备发送第二数据。
该步骤中,第一设备将第二数据发送给第二设备,以使第二设备将该第二数据发送给第三设备。第三设备接收到第二数据之后,对第二数据进行解码,进而得到第三数据。可选的,第二数据为第一数据的语义信息,那么,第三数据与第一数据可能不会完全相同,但是第三数据与第一数据在语义层面上相同。
综上,第一设备在对第一数据编码之前,向第二设备发送与不同网络状态关联的候选模型,以使第二设备在确定当前网络状态之后,从候选模型中确定与当前网络状态关联的目标模型,并通过第二信息指示目标模型。从而第一设备可以使用该目标模型对第一数据进行编码,使得第二数据适应于在当前网络状态下进行传输,以此提高通信质量。
图7为本申请提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤701:第二设备向第一设备发送第三信息,第三信息指示当前网络状态。
参考上述步骤601中对当前网络状态的描述,本申请在此不做赘述。
步骤702:第一设备根据当前网络状态从候选模型中选择目标模型。
参考上述步骤602,第一设备接收到当前网络状态之后,选择与当前网络状态关联候选模型,然后再从与当前网络状态关联候选模型中选择与当前网络状态关联的目标模型。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一设备可以根据与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型的优先级选择与当前网络状态关联的目标模型。可选的,将与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型中优先级最高的候选模型作为目标模型。
一种可能的实现方式中,第三信息还指示第二设备与第三设备之间的资源调度情况。因此,第一设备还可以根据候选模型的模型参数、当前网络状态、第二设备与第三设备之间的资源调度情况、以及与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型的优先级,通过加权求和等计算方式,从与当前网络状态关联的至少两个候选模型中选择与当前网络状态关联的目标模型。具体描述参考上述步骤602,本申请在此不做赘述。
