Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of artificial intelligence (AI) setting within a communication system with a base station and several user equipments (UEs). The user equipments each report an artificial intelligence parameter for universal communications identifier (UCI) capabilities to the base station. The user equipments are grouped by the base station based on the artificial intelligence parameter for the universal communications identifier capabilities. The base station multicasts artificial intelligence configuration to each group of user equipments separately. Further, a communication system is described.

Abstract: A method for testing transmission modes of a wireless communication device. According to the method, a switching range is determined in a parameter space in a test device. The parameter of the parameter space describes the quality of transmission and influences a recommendation for a transmission mode to be adjusted in a device to be tested. The switching range is a subspace of the parameter space and contains at least one switching limit for the recommendation for the subsequent transmission mode to be adjusted. In a further step, random parameter points from the switching range are generated depending on a probability distribution which is defined for the switching range. A signal is generated for every parameter point and has a transmission mode determined by the parameter point and is transmitted to the device to be tested.
