(3) configuration information carried.The configuration information of carrying contains the configuration information to RLC, MAC and physical layer.
(4) whether carrying needs the instruction information of flow control.What is sent in carrying may be real data, either
Signaling transmitted by master base station, i.e., the RRC information sent to UE.CU know to be sent in the carrying be real data also
It is signaling transmitted by master base station, and assistant base station does not know transmitted particular content.For RRC information, because of RRC information
The frequency of transmission is lower, does not need flow control, therefore CU notifies whether DU needs the instruction of flow control by control plane
Information.Flow control can not be needed by instruction, implicit tells DU, and transmitted data do not need flow in the carrying
Control.If transmitted by the carrying is real data, CU can be arranged to need flow control in instruction.Or it is logical
User plane is crossed, to indicate not needing flow control.For the Deta bearer and signaling bear of segmentation, user plane be can establish
Between master base station and DU, in the case, master base station sends the data packet of user plane to DU, in the data of user plane
Inside packet format, master base station instruction DU does not need to send the data packet of flow control to master base station.Alternatively, user plane can be with
It establishes between CU and DU, master base station sends the data packet of user plane to CU, and CU sends out the data packet of user plane to DU
It send, in the data packet format of user plane, instruction DU does not need to send the data packet of flow control to CU.
(5) indicate information, indicate DU, segmentation signaling bear using it is no be default configuration, or instruction DU, segmentation letter
Enable carrying using default configuration information or explicit configuration.If using default configuration information, specific parameter, such as
The configuration information of RLC, no need to send give DU, DU to configure the agreements such as RLC, MAC using value predetermined in LTE specification
Layer.If being arranged to explicitly configure, CU is the configuration information of specific user plane, such as configuration information shown in (3), hair
Give DU.
Or regulation DU knows to establish when dividing signaling bear, i.e., carrying, which is established in request message, in this step wraps
The mark (i.e. (2)) of the carrying contained is arranged to the mark of signaling bear, such as SRB1 or SRB2, DU default use LTE specification
Defined in default configuration information configure user plane, match for example, by using default RLC defined in LTE radio interface specification
Parameter is set to configure rlc protocol layer.In this way, to segmentation signaling bear, such as SRB1, the configuration information (i.e. (3)) of carrying are not required to
DU is transferred to from CU, the user plane configuration on DU may with the carrying on master base station configuration information it is different, Yong Huping
The configuration in face is not optimal, and advantage is the reduction of the signalling between master base station and assistant base station.Assistant base station includes
CU and DU two entities.
Step 503, carrying is established response message and sent to CU by the DU of assistant base station.
Carrying is established response message and sent to CU by DU, which carries one or more following information:
The mark for the carrying being successfully established;
- DU is the GTP tunnel number of user plane distribution.
Step 504, assistant base station is increased response message and sent to master base station by assistant base station.
Assistant base station determines the configuration information carried on UE, assistant base station is on UE according to QoS the and UE ability of DRB
The configuration information of auxiliary carrying or secondary cell is included in RRC container, and the container is forwarded by master base station to UE.UE according to
The configuration is arranged each layer protocol in the end UE, such as RLC, MAC layer.Message also carry DRB mark or X2 user plane mark,

The GTP tunnel number for being used to receive downlink data that base station is distributed by Deta bearer;
(3) information of the received segmentation signaling bear of assistant base station, mark and assistant base station comprising signaling bear are
The GTP tunnel number for being used to receive downlink signaling data that signaling bear is distributed.Message carries the segmentation signaling being successfully established and holds
The mark of load, and/or the mark of the signaling bear comprising establishing failure.
The CU sends the assistant base station to the DU and increases response after receiving the carrying and establishing response message
Message
Step 505, master base station sends RRC reconfiguration request to UE.
Master base station does not parse RRC container, and RRC container is transmitted to UE.Master base station can match UE plus its own
Confidence breath, and the information of itself and assistant base station configuration is sent jointly into UE.
Step 506:UE, which reconfigures RRC, completes message to master base station transmission.
After UE configuration successful, response message is sent to master base station.The response message may be embodied in sent in 302 steps
Configuration information response, that is, contain the response to master base station configuration information, also contain to assistant base station configuration information
Response.If desired, UE also needs to carry out random access procedure with new assistant base station, and carried out together with new assistant base station
Step.After synchronization, assistant base station can start to send data to UE.
Step 507: master base station, which reconfigures RRC, completes message to assistant base station transmission.
By the configuration at the end UE, successful information notifies assistant base station to master base station.Because UE is confirmation message to master base station
It sends, so master base station needs confirmation message to be transmitted to assistant base station.If master base station cannot parse UE to assistant base station
The response of configuration information, master base station can also turn UE to the response of the configuration information of assistant base station by way of RRC container
Issue assistant base station.
So far, segmentation signaling bear establishment process is completed.
