具体实施方式
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案,下面将对本发明实施例中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面所描述的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,简称“GSM”)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,简称“CDMA”)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,简称“WCDMA”)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,简称“GPRS”)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称“LTE”)系统、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,简称“UMTS”)等目前的通信系统,以及,尤其应用于未来的5G系统。
本申请实施例中的终端设备也可以指用户设备(User Equipment,简称“UE”)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、终端设备、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,简称“SIP”)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,简称“WLL”)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,简称“PDA”)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(Public Land Mobile Network,简称“PLMN”)中的终端设备等。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备,该网络设备可以是GSM或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,简称“BTS”),也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(NodeB,简称“NB”),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional NodeB,简称“eNB或eNodeB”),还可以是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,简称“CRAN”)场景下的无线控制器,或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
本申请实施例提到的无线资源控制RRC去激活态是终端设备在5G网络中的一种状态。对一个终端设备来说,在5G网络中有3种状态:RRC连接态、RRC去激活态和空闲态,其中,RRC连接态和空闲态与LTE系统中类似,此处不赘述,RRC去激活态是5G网络中终端设备特有的一种状态,终端设备处于RRC去激活态时,有如下特性:
1、即使终端设备在空口没有数据传输,但终端设备的用户RRC上下文信息依然保留在RAN侧,且RAN侧为该RRC去激活态终端设备保留与核心网的连接。
2、处于RRC去激活态的终端设备,可以直接发送上行小数据包,而不需要通过建立RRC信令转移到RRC连接态。
总的来说,终端设备的RRC去激活态是介于RRC连接态和空闲态之间的一种状态。终端设备在RRC去激活态可达到省电的效果;当需要与RAN侧交互数据时,不需要转移到RRC连接态,可直接发送/接收数据,且RAN侧也可直接快速地发送数据至核心网/从核心网接收数据,因为RAN侧为该RRC去激活态终端设备保留与核心网的连接。
下面介绍本申请实施例的应用场景。
本申请实施例的一个应用场景,如图1所示。
该场景包括:第一网络设备,至少一个第二网络设备和终端设备,该第一网络设备可以是 Anchor New Radio(简称“ANR”)101,该第二网络设备可以是Assitant New Radio(简称“SNR”)102,该终端设备可以是UE103,ANR101与SNR102之间存在有线连接。UE103当前在ANR101覆盖的Cell1内,UE103处于移动状态,将会从ANR101覆盖的Cell 1移动至SNR102覆盖的Cell 2内。
本申请实施例的另一个应用场景,如图2所示。
该场景包括:中心单元(Central Unit,简称“CU”)201,主分布单元(Anchor Distribute Unit,简称“ADU”)202,辅分布单元(Assitant Distribute Unit,简称“SDU”)203和UE204,CU201控制ADU202和SDU203。UE204当前在ADU202覆盖的Cell 1内,UE204处于移动状态,将会从ADU202覆盖的Cell 1移动至SDU203覆盖的Cell 2内。

下面介绍本申请提供的方法。
这里需要说明的是,第一网络设备可以向邻接的多个网络设备发送第一消息,这里的第二网络设备只是一个代称,并不限定是一个网络设备。
且本申请中所述的网络设备指接入网设备。
实施例一
如图4所示,一种数据传输的方法,包括:
S10、第一网络设备确定终端设备进入RRC去激活态。
S10中,终端设备在第一网络设备的覆盖范围下,从RRC连接态进入RRC去激活态。由上述的终端设备在RRC去激活态的特性可知,第一网络设备与核心网保留所述终端设备的至少一个数据面连接。
终端设备从RRC连接态进入RRC去激活态,第一网络设备确定终端设备进入RRC去激活态。
第一网络设备确定终端设备进入RRC去激活态包括:第一网络设备确定终端设备将要进入RRC去激活态,或者,第一网络设备确定终端设备已经进入RRC去激活态。
第一网络设备确定终端设备将要进入RRC去激活态,具体而言,第一网络设备可以根据终端设备的业务情况等,决定让终端设备从RRC连接态进入RRC去激活态。例如,若监测到终端设备在一段时间内没有业务发生,例如没有上行和下行数据传输,则可以让终端设备从RRC连接态进入RRC去激活态,从而达到省电的效果。
第一网络设备确定终端设备已经进入RRC去激活态,具体而言,第一网络设备在此之前已经通过RRC信令将所述终端设备从RRC连接态转移至RRC去激活态,所述RRC信令可以是状态转移信令,也可以是其他RRC信令。
S11、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一消息,所述第一消息用于对所述第二网络设备进行配置以使第二网络设备可以为所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据。
S11中,如S10所述,终端设备在第一网络设备的覆盖范围下状态发生转移,从RRC连接态进入RRC去激活态。当第一网络设备检测到终端设备的状态发生转移,则第一网络设备向邻近的多个第二网络设备发送第一消息,该第一消息的目的在于:对第二网络设备进行配置,使得当处于 所述RRC去激活态的终端设备从第一网络设备的覆盖范围移动至第二网络设备的覆盖范围下并且需要传输数据时,第二网络设备可以将终端设备发送给其的数据转发给第一网络设备。
第一网络设备为达到上述第一消息的目的,第一网络设备发送的第一消息须包含以下信息:所述第一网络设备的标识信息、所述终端设备的标识信息、第二网络设备为所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据需提供的承载、及所述承载在所述第一网络设备Xn接口上的地址信息。
其中,第二网络设备为所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据需提供的承载,可参考终端设备在第一网络设备上的承载而定。例如,终端设备在第一网络设备上有5个承载(承载A、承载B、承载C、承载D、承载E),第一网络设备可认为第二网络设备需提供该5个承载(承载A、承载B、承载C、承载D、承载E)。或者,第一网络设备认为第二网络设备只需提供其中3个承载(承载A、承载B、承载C)就可完成传输数据,此时,第一网络设备发送的第一消息中,第二网络设备为终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据需提供的承载,即为该3个承载(承载A、承载B、承载C)。
其中,承载在所述第一网络设备Xn接口上的地址信息,用于指示第二网络设备将相应承载的数据发送至第一网络设备Xn接口相应的地址上。所述Xn接口指第五代通信系统中基站(gNB)/小区之间的接口。
其中,所述终端设备的标识信息在RAN Notification Area中可以唯一指示所述终端设备,可以是以下形式的一种或者几种的组合:C-RNTI(小区无线网络临时标识,由基站分配给UE的一个动态标识,唯一标识了一个小区空口下的UE),第一网络设备为终端设备分配的第三状态下的标识,所述标识可以是C-RNTI+第一网络设备标识的形式,也可以是单独的C-RNTI形式。
其中,所述第一网络设备的标识,可以为以下形式的至少一种:物理层小区标识、全局小区标识、gNB UE XnAP ID(第一网络设备上Xn接口唯一指示用户的ID)。
第一消息除了包括上述的信息之外,还可以包括:所述承载所属的网络切片信息、和/或所述承载对应的逻辑信道配置信息,和/或所述承载对应的协议栈配置信息。
其中,所述协议栈配置信息可以是一个具体的协议栈参数和/或功能的配置信息,也可以是一个指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示第二网络设备依据规定的参数和/或功能配置。
其中,所述逻辑信道配置信息可以是一个具体的逻辑信道参数和/或功能的配置信息,也可以是一个指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示第二网络设备依据规定的参数和/或功能配置。
S12、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送所述第一消息的确认消息。
S12中,第二网络设备发送第一消息的确认消息,有两种机制:
第一种机制:第二网络设备将自己能提供的承载发送给第一网络设备。
进一步地,第二网络设备还可以将自己能提供的承载对应的第二网络设备Xn接口上的地址信息,同自己能提供的承载一并发送给第一网络设备。
例如,在S11中第一网络设备发送的第一消息中,所述第二网络设备为所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据需提供的承载包括5个承载(承载A、承载B、承载C、承载D、承载E)。第二网络设备在收到S11中的第一消息后,根据自己的资源调度情况,确定只能提供其中3个承载(例如,承载A、承载B、承载E)。于是,在这种情况下,第二网络设备发送第一消息的确认消息,该第一消息的确认消息包含第二网络设备所能提供的3个承载(承载A、承载B、承载E)。
进一步地,第二网络设备可以将该3个承载(承载A、承载B、承载E)对应的第二网络设备Xn接口上的地址信息,一并发送给第一网络设备。
第二种机制:第二网络设备根据自己的资源调度情况,若能全部提供S11中的第一消息中所述的需要的承载,则第二网络设备发送确认消息给第一网络设备。更进一步地,第二网络设备将所述第一消息中所述的需要的承载对应的第二网络设备Xn接口上的地址信息发送给第一网络设备。
第二网络设备根据自己的资源调度情况,若不能全部提供S11中的第一消息中所述的需要的承载,则第二网络设备将拒绝第一网络设备的请求,在这种情况下,第二网络设备发送的第一消息的确认消息包含拒绝信息。
本申请实施例,若处于所述RRC去激活态的终端设备从第一网络设备的覆盖范围移动至第二网络设备的覆盖范围下并且需要发送数据给第二网络设备时,第二网络设备识别出该终端设备、及该终端设备发送的数据所属的承载,依据第一消息中承载对应的第一网络设备Xn接口的地址信息,将数据发送至第一网络设备,以使第一网络设备将数据发送至核心网。
本申请实施例,第二网络设备将终端设备的数据传输给第一网络设备以使第一网络设备将数据发送至核心网,而不需要第二网络设备与核心网之间建立路径以使第二网络设备将数据发送至核心网,以此减小了终端设备发送数据至核心网整个过程中的信令开销。
实施例二
如图5所示,一种数据传输的方法,包括:
S20、第一网络设备确定终端设备进入RRC去激活态。
S21、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一消息,所述第一消息用于对所述第二网络设备进行配置以使第二网络设备为所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据。
S22、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送所述第一消息的确认消息。
S20-S22,同上一实施例中的S10-S12,此处不赘述。
S23、第一网络设备向终端设备发送第二消息,所述第二消息用于指示能为所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据的第二网络设备。
S23中,第一网络设备根据接收到的第一消息的确认消息,向终端设备发送第二消息,该第二消息指示能为终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据的第二网络设备。
第二消息可以有多种形式,例如,能为终端设备传输数据的第二网络设备的标识信息的列表;再例如,第一网络设备的RNA的位图信息;再例如,指示位信息。
1、第二消息包含能为终端设备传输数据的第二网络设备的标识信息的列表,所述列表中的第二网络设备都能为终端设备中继数据。
2、第二消息包含第一网络设备的RNA的位图信息,具体地指,第一网络设备为终端在RRC去激活态下分配的RNA(RAN Notification Area)的位图信息,所述位图信息用于标识在第一网络设备为终端在RRC去激活态下分配的RNA范围内,能为终端设备中继数据的所有第二网络设备。
第一网络设备为所述终端在RRC去激活态下分配的的RNA,指第一网络设备给终端设备配置的该终端在Inactive态下的无线接入网的通知区域(RAN based notification area,RNA)。该RNA包含一个或多个小区。当终端设备在Inactive态下重选到该RNA范围内的其他小区时,可以不通知网络,而当终端设备重选到该RNA范围以外的小区时,则需要通知网络。
位图信息是一个多bit的字符串,字符串的位数可以与RNA小区列表中的小区个数相同,也可以是一个固定的位数。位图信息中的每个bit指示RNA小区列表(RNA小区列表,指RNA包含的小区)中相应的小区是否支持终端设备在Inactive下传输数据,例如RNA小区列表中包含的小区分别为:小区#1、小区#2、小区#4、小区#6,则位图信息至少包含4bit,并且设定位图信息中的0指示小区 不支持终端设备在Inactive下传输数据,而1支持,那么位图如果是0101,则意味着小区#2和小区#6支持终端设备在Inactive下传输数据,而小区#1和小区#4不支持。值得注意的是,位图信息也可以超过4bit,例如在标准中规定位图信息固定为16个bit,如果加入RNA的只有四个小区,那么意味着可以在这16个bit中,规定4个bit代表RNA中的小区是否支持终端设备在Inactive下传输数据(例如前4个bit),另外的12bit可以填充为0。若RNA有6个小区,那么可以规定6个bit代表RNA中的小区是否支持终端设备在Inactive下传输数据(例如前6个bit),另外的10bit可以填充为0。
上段所述的小区,可对应到相应的网络设备,例如,小区#1和小区#4为第二网络设备A覆盖的小区,小区#2和小区#6为第二网络设备B覆盖的小区。
3、第二消息包含指示位信息,所述指示位信息用于指示所述第一网络设备的RNA范围内的所有第二网络设备是否能为所述终端设备在Inactive态下发送数据,所述第一网络设备的RNA指第一网络设备为所述终端在RRC去激活态下分配的的RNA。该指示位信息用1bit来表示,例如,若该bit为1,则表示第一网络设备的RNA范围内的所有第二网络设备能为终端设备在Inactive态下发送数据,若该bit为0,则表示不是第一网络设备的RNA范围内的所有第二网络设备都能为终端设备在Inactive态下发送数据。
更进一步地,第二消息除了指示能为终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据的第二网络设备之外,还可以更进一步地指示每个能中继数据的第二网络设备所能提供的承载。例如,第二消息中指示的第二网络设备包括第二网络设备A、第二网络设备B、第二网络设备C,其中,第二网络设备A能提供的承载包括承载1、承载3、承载5;第二网络设备B能提供的承载包括承载2、承载4;第二网络设备C能提供的承载包括承载3、承载5。则第二消息包括一个能为终端设备在RRC去激活态下传输数据的第二网络设备的承载列表,如下表格所示:
Figure PCTCN2018074032-appb-000001
或者,例如,第二消息中指示的第二网络设备包括第二网络设备A、第二网络设备B、第二网络设备C,其中,第二网络设备A能提供的承载包括承载1、承载3、承载5;第二网络设备B能提供的承载包括承载2、承载4;第二网络设备C能提供的承载包括承载3、承载5。则可以选取最小集,即在位图信息中指示只有第二网络设备A和第二网络设备B可以为所述终端在RRC去激活状态下传输数据,能提供的承载为承载3和承载5。
S24、终端设备在RRC去激活态下发送数据包给第二网络设备。
S24中,终端设备通过随机接入过程发送导频信号获得上行同步和/或上行调度资源后发送上行数据包给第二网络设备,或者没有接入过程,而直接采用基于竞争的资源或者预留的资源发送数据包给第二网络设备(即Grant free方式)。
所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下发送的数据包为小数据包,一般为小于预设阈值大小的数据包。终端设备不需要建立RRC连接将终端设备状态转移至RRC连接态再发送所述小数据包,终端设备在RRC去激活态下直接发送所述小数据包。本申请所述方法,解决处于RRC去激活态下的终端设备从 原来的第一网络设备覆盖范围移动至第二网络设备覆盖范围时,如何向核心网发送上行小数据包的问题。
所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下发送的数据包,包含指示字段、数据字段和MAC CE字段,所述MAC CE字段用于存储终端设备的标识信息,所述指示字段用于指示该数据包包含MAC CE字段。本申请对所述指示字段、数据字段和MAC CE字段的位置不做限制。
本申请,终端设备在MAC层对要发送的数据进行打包生成,终端设备在MAC层生成要发送的数据包,该数据包包含指示字段、数据字段和MAC CE字段;其中,MAC CE字段为新的字段,用来存储终端设备的标识信息。第二网络设备在接收到该数据包后,在MAC层即可解析出终端设备的标识信息,从而快速知道该数据包来自哪个终端设备。
S25、第二网络设备将接收到的数据包发送第一网络设备,以使第一网络设备将该数据包发送至核心网。
S25中,第二网络设备将接收到的数据包发送第一网络设备,有两种方式:
1、第二网络设备接收并直接转发所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下发送的数据包。
2、第二网络设备接收所述终端设备在RRC去激活态下发送的数据包,并经过协议栈处理后再发送给第一网络设备,所述协议栈包括下述一种或任意组合:物理(PHY)层、媒体接入控制(MAC)层、无线链路控制(RLC)层、或分组数据会聚协议(PDCP)层。
第一网络设备将该数据包发送至核心网,也有有两种方式:
1、第一网络设备接收并直接转发第二网络设备发送的数据包。
2、第一网络设备接收第二网络设备发送的数据包,并经过协议栈处理后再发送给核心网,所述协议栈包括下述一种或任意组合:物理(PHY)层、媒体接入控制(MAC)层、无线链路控制(RLC)层、或分组数据会聚协议(PDCP)层。
本申请实施例,第二网络设备将终端设备的数据传输给第一网络设备以使第一网络设备将数据发送至核心网,而不需要第二网络设备与核心网之间建立路径以使第二网络设备将数据发送至核心网,以此减小了终端设备发送的数据传输至核心网整个过程中的信令开销。
上述实施例一和实施例二所述的方法,可适用于本申请中所提及的三种应用场景。
在如图1所示的应用场景中,所述第一网络设备为主网络设备ANR101,第二网络设备为辅网络设备SNR102。
