Description

Radio link monitoring method and user equipment
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a wireless link monitoring method and a user equipment in a 4G and 5G communication system.
Background
The long term evolution system (LTE, long Term Evolution) in the prior art is mainly composed of three devices: a User Equipment (UE), a Core Network (CN), and a base station (eNB, enhanced Node B), wherein a Mobility management entity (MME, mobility MANAGEMENT ENTITY) in the Core Network is mainly responsible for signaling transmission, and a service gateway (SGW, serving GetWay) is mainly responsible for data transmission. The interface between the UE and the eNB is Uu, the interface between the eNB and the core network is S1, and as shown in fig. 1, the interface is a structure diagram of LTE.
And the protocol architecture of the UE, eNB and MME is shown in fig. 2. For UEs, the protocol layers RRC (Radio Resource Control ), PDCP (PACKET DATA Convergence Protocol, packet data convergence protocol), RLC (Radio Link Control, radio link layer control), MAC (Medium Access Control, media Access control) and PHY (PHYSICAL LAYER ) belong to the AS (Access Stratum) layer, while the higher layers of the AS layer are NAS (Non Access Stratum, non-intervening layer) layers.
According to the current protocol, the UE is to communicate with the eNB, and first to access the eNB, i.e. initiate a random access procedure. As shown in fig. 3, the random access procedure includes four steps, namely:
Step 1: the UE acquires available lead sequence codes for random access and time-frequency positions for sending the lead sequences through system information or RRC signaling, randomly selects the lead sequences and the time-frequency positions for sending the lead sequences in available resources, and sends the lead sequences and the time-frequency positions for sending the lead sequences to the eNB;
Step 2: the eNB deduces RA-RNTI possibly adopted by the UE through the time-frequency position adopted by the random access preamble sequence, decodes the preamble sequence by the RA-RNTI, and replies a random access response to the UE after the eNB successfully decodes the preamble sequence, wherein the response carries information such as uplink authorization and the like;
Step 3: the UE sends RRC establishment request information on the uplink authorized resources;
Step 4: and the eNB analyzes the uplink data on the uplink authorized resources, confirms the UE, solves the conflict, and sends a competition resolution identification to the UE.
Subsequently, the UE enters a connected state and then transmits/receives data.
However, this procedure requires at least four steps with long delay, and in order to simplify the steps, it is proposed that in the inactive state, the UE transmits/receives data, as shown in fig. 4, including the steps of:
Step 1: the UE sends a preamble sequence to the eNB;
Step 2: after the eNB successfully decodes the preamble sequence, replying a random access response to the UE, wherein the response carries information such as uplink authorization and the like;
step 3: the UE transmits RRC message and carries uplink data on the uplink authorized resource, or transmits uplink data and carries information such as the identification of the UE;
Step 4: and the eNB analyzes the uplink data on the uplink authorized resources, confirms the UE, solves the conflict, and sends a competition resolution identification to the UE.
It can be seen that this method of transmitting data in the inactive state is less time-delayed and more flexible than the method of transmitting data in the active state.
In the active state, to ensure the continuity of transmission, the UE needs to monitor the state of the radio link and if a radio link failure occurs, to recover in time. Similar to the active state, the UE may also experience a problem of poor radio quality when transmitting data in the inactive state. However, unlike the active state, the inactive state does not require timely restoration of the wireless link, but at the same time requires transmission of data to the network, which can result in data transmission failure.
Therefore, how to monitor the states of the wireless links in the inactive state and the light connection state, and ensure the normal transmission of data becomes the technical problem to be solved by the invention.

Therefore, the method and the user equipment in the embodiment of the invention can monitor the wireless link state of the user equipment in the preset state, and can repair the link in time when the wireless link failure is detected, so that the method and the user equipment are convenient for adapting to the mobility of the UE in the inactive state, and can reduce the time delay of data transmission. The implementation of the invention is described in detail below by means of several specific examples.
In a first embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a radio link monitoring method, as shown in fig. 5, including the steps of:
Step S501, when the UE is in a preset state, detecting whether the number of times of sending the preamble by the UE reaches a set first threshold, and when the number of times of sending the preamble reaches the set first threshold, determining that the radio link state of the UE is a radio link failure;
In the embodiment of the invention, the preset state refers to a state that an interface between the UE and the base station is disconnected and the base station and the core network keep the connection of the UE.
Further, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, detecting whether the number of times the UE transmits the preamble reaches a set first threshold value specifically includes:
the UE detects whether the number of times of sending the preamble reaches a set first threshold value through the MAC layer, and when the number of times of sending the preamble reaches the set first threshold value, the MAC layer indicates that the random access process is problematic to the RRC layer, and the RRC layer considers that the radio link of the UE fails.

In this embodiment, the application message may be RRC Connection Reestablishment Request, RRC Connection Resume Request or a new message.
After receiving the application message, the base station can determine that the UE has failed in the radio link in the preset state, find the base station storing the UE context according to the UE identification information carried in the message, and then obtain the context information of the UE, and establish RRC connection for the UE. If no context information is found for the UE, the base station will re-establish the RRC connection for the UE and update the configuration of the UE.
Mode two: cell reselection is initiated. Specifically, when cell reselection is initiated, in order to avoid reselecting the current cell, the cell priority of the current cell is also lowered.
If the UE reselects a cell and the cell can support the data transmission in the preset state, the UE continues to execute the data transmission in the preset state in the cell.

After receiving the application message, the base station can determine that the UE has failed in the radio link in the preset state, find the base station storing the UE context according to the UE identification information carried in the message, and then obtain the context information of the UE, and establish RRC connection for the UE. If no context information is found for the UE, the base station will re-establish the RRC connection for the UE and update the configuration of the UE.
Mode two: cell reselection is initiated. Specifically, when cell reselection is initiated, in order to avoid reselecting the current cell, the cell priority of the current cell is also lowered.
If the UE reselects a cell and the cell can support the data transmission in the preset state, the UE continues to execute the data transmission in the preset state in the cell.
In summary, in the method of the embodiment of the present invention, when the UE is in a state of being disconnected from the interface of the base station and the core network keep the connection of the UE, the retransmission condition of the RLC PDU may be used to detect the state of the radio link of the UE, and when the radio link failure of the UE is detected, the radio link repair is performed, so as to not only adapt to the mobility of the UE in the inactive state, but also reduce the delay of data transmission, and well solve the problem in the prior art that the radio link in the inactive state cannot be monitored, thereby affecting the data output.

In the embodiment of the invention, the preset state refers to a state that an interface between the UE and the base station is disconnected and the base station and the core network keep the connection of the UE.
Further, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, detecting whether the number of times of retransmission of the hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ continuously reaches the set threshold reaches the set third threshold specifically includes:
When the UE sends a data packet, the HARQ reaches the maximum retransmission times, the MAC layer indicates the HARQ to the RRC to reach the maximum retransmission times, and if the times of continuously receiving the indication of the MAC layer by the RRC layer reach a set third threshold, the radio link is considered to fail or the current cell is not suitable for providing data transmission service.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the third threshold may be broadcasted by the base station or configured to the UE through an RRC message, for example: the UE is configured with system information, RRC connection reconfiguration, RRCConnectionRelease, or a new message.
In step S702, when a radio link failure of the UE is detected, a radio link repair is performed.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the manner of performing the radio link repair includes, but is not limited to:
mode one: initiating an application for recovering the RRC connection;
Optionally, in this embodiment, the application message for initiating the RRC connection restoration carries UE status indication information (e.g., the UE is in a preset state) or carries reestablishment reason information (e.g., the UE fails to send data in the preset state).
In this embodiment, the application message may be RRC Connection Reestablishment Request, RRC Connection Resume Request or a new message.
After receiving the application message, the base station can determine that the UE has failed in the radio link in the preset state, find the base station storing the UE context according to the UE identification information carried in the message, and then obtain the context information of the UE, and establish RRC connection for the UE. If no context information is found for the UE, the base station will re-establish the RRC connection for the UE and update the configuration of the UE.
Mode two: cell reselection is initiated. Specifically, when cell reselection is initiated, in order to avoid reselecting the current cell, the cell priority of the current cell is also lowered.
If the UE reselects a cell and the cell can support the data transmission in the preset state, the UE continues to execute the data transmission in the preset state in the cell.

It should be noted that the MAC is reset but the buffer is not emptied, and the data in the buffer is retransmitted as new data in the new cell. If the UE is not synchronized with the new cell, the MAC layer initiates a random access procedure.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the radio link state detection method described in the second embodiment of the present invention is adopted, after other cells are reselected, the RRC layer instructs the RLC layer to clear the number of RLC PDU retransmissions recorded by the RLC layer.
