Description

Technical Field

Background
The development of mobile communication is changing day by day, and the mobile communication permeates all aspects of work, social contact and life of people, and brings huge influence on all aspects of life style and working mode of people, social politics, economy and the like. The human society has entered the information age, and business application requirements in all aspects show explosive growth, in the mobile network of future, not only provide communication between people, still need provide the service for thing networking mass equipment. For example, for services with ultrahigh-rate service requirements such as virtual reality, high-definition video and the like, the rate can reach 10-100 times of the existing rate; for example, the end-to-end time delay can be shortened by 5 times for the services with low time delay service requirements, such as the Internet of vehicles and the like; the Internet of things can access 1000 times of the existing services, and the service life of the battery can be prolonged to 10 times of the existing service life.
The differentiated business model and the business demand bring huge challenges to the frequency, technology, operation and other aspects of a future wireless mobile broadband system, and a traditional communication Network, namely an Access Network (RAN for short) and a Core Network (Core Network for short CN), cannot meet all the scenes increasingly. And a private network is built for each scene, which causes a great amount of resource waste and is not practical.
The development of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology makes it possible for operators to construct different virtual networks for different service requirements. The network slice is based on a general physical infrastructure, the network is logically defined and divided to form an end-to-end virtual network, and each virtual network has different functional characteristics to dynamically meet various requirements and business modes.
A typical network slice comprises a set of virtualized access network functions and core network functions. Network slices are constructed by an operator according to requirements and policies, and the functions included in one network slice are also determined by the operator according to the requirements and policies. For example, some network slices may include a dedicated forwarding plane in addition to control plane functionality; while some network slices may include only some basic control plane functions.

Common Network provides service for general service; and customized network slices, providing three different types of services, such as: type A is super high speed service, such as video service, virtual reality, etc.; type B is burst small business data service, such as QQ, WeChat, etc.; type C is a low-delay ultra-reliable service, such as an Internet of vehicles, an intelligent power grid and the like; each type generates different network slice instances according to some differences, such as business requirements and business models, for example: performing video service by type A, and dividing the video service into a slice A1 supporting common video and a slice A2 supporting high-definition video according to the requirement of the video type on the service rate; . One network slice constitutes a virtual network, and provides a specific mobile network access service for a User Equipment (UE).
Under the network slice architecture, the resource application and allocation flow need to be modified accordingly, so that the network side can know to which network slice the terminal's resource application is for to perform appropriate resource allocation. When the terminal acquires the resources allocated by the network side, the terminal also needs to allocate the resources to services on different network slices. However, in the related art, no solution exists for the problem of resource application and allocation in the network slicing system

Detailed Description
The invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.
In this embodiment, a resource application method is provided, and fig. 2 is a first flowchart of a resource application method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the flowchart includes the following steps:
step S202: a terminal acquires Scheduling Request (SR) resources configured by a network side;
step S204: the terminal sends the SR resources to the network side and obtains the resource authorization of the Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) represented by the SR resources by the network side;
step S206: and the terminal sends a buffer state report BSR on the authorized resources to apply for the service of the specified network slice.
Through the above steps S202 to S206 in this embodiment, the terminal obtains the scheduling request SR resource configured by the network side, sends the SR resource to the network side, obtains the resource authorization of the radio network temporary identifier RNTI represented by the SR resource by the network side, and then sends the buffer status report BSR on the authorized resource as the service application resource of the specified network slice, thereby solving the problem that the application and allocation of the resource in the network slice system does not exist in the related art, and filling the blank in the related art.
The following is an illustration of an alternative implementation of an embodiment of the invention;
the first optional implementation mode:
in an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the manner in which the terminal acquires the resource configuration of the scheduling request SR involved in step S202 of this embodiment includes: the terminal acquires an RNTI (radio network temporary identifier) distributed on each network slice by the network side and SR (resource request) resources corresponding to the RNTI.
That is to say, when the terminal accesses different network slices, the network side allocates different radio network temporary identifiers RNTI for the terminal, and each RNTI corresponds to one network slice. Wherein all network slices can be used for resource application. When a terminal applies for a resource for a certain network slice, a buffer status report BSR is sent on the resource allocated to the network slice of the terminal by a base station. In order to achieve the above purpose, the network side needs to allocate different SR resources for different network slices of the terminal.
Optional embodiment two:
in an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the manner in which the terminal acquires the scheduling request SR resource configured by the network side in step S202 of this embodiment may be implemented by: the terminal acquires one RNTI (radio network temporary identifier) distributed on each network slice by the network side, wherein SR resources are configured on the designated RNTI in the RNTIs by the network side.
Based on this, the manner in which the terminal related to step S206 in this embodiment sends the BSR on the authorized resource to apply for the resource for the service of the specified network slice may be: the terminal sends a BSR carrying the RNTI of the network slice corresponding to the applied resource on the authorized resource as a service application resource of the specified network slice; or, the terminal sends the BSR on the authorized resource to apply for the service of the designated network slice, wherein the format of the BSR corresponds to the RNTI of the designated network slice.
That is to say, when the terminal accesses different network slices, the network side allocates different RNTIs to the terminal, and each RNTI corresponds to one network slice. The network side only divides SR resources for a specific RNTI of the UE, and only one specific network slice can be used for resource application. The terminal applies for resources for different network slices by sending different BSRs. For example: BSRs with different formats or RNTIs corresponding to different network slices are carried in the BSR. After receiving the BSR, the network side indicates, via the RNTI, that the allocated resources correspond to a certain network slice.
Alternative embodiment three
In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the manner in which the terminal acquires the scheduling request SR resource configured by the network side in step S202 in this embodiment may be implemented by: the terminal acquires an RNTI resource allocated by a network side and configures a corresponding network slice ID for each network slice, wherein the RNTI resource is configured with SR resources.

That is, when the terminal accesses different network slices, the network side allocates only one RNTI for the terminal. The terminal sends different BSRs for different network slices, e.g., different formats or carrying different network slice IDs. The network side indicates the network slice ID when allocating resources for the terminal.
It should be noted that the method for applying for a resource in the foregoing embodiment is described from a terminal side, and will be described from a network side, and fig. 3 is a second flowchart of the method for applying for a resource according to the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the flow of the method includes:

step S306: and the network side receives the BSR sent by the terminal on the authorized resource to apply for the resource for the service of the specified network slice.
The following is an illustration of an alternative implementation of an embodiment of the invention;
the first optional implementation mode:
in an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, in step S302 of this embodiment, a manner that the network side configures a scheduling request SR resource for the terminal may be implemented by the following manner: and the network side allocates an RNTI (radio network temporary identifier) and SR resources corresponding to the RNTI for the terminal on each network slice.
Optional embodiment two:
in an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, a manner that the network side configures the scheduling request SR resource for the terminal in step S302 of this embodiment may be: and the network side allocates an RNTI (radio network temporary identifier) for the terminal on each network slice, wherein the designated RNTI in the RNTIs is configured with SR resources by the network side.
Based on this, the method for the network side to receive the BSR sent by the terminal on the authorized resource in step S304 of this embodiment to apply for the resource for the service of the specified network slice may be: a network side receives a service application resource of a designated network slice, wherein a BSR (buffer status report) which is sent by a terminal on an authorized resource and carries an RNTI (radio network temporary identity) of the network slice corresponding to the applied resource is used as the service application resource of the designated network slice; or, the network side receiving terminal sends the BSR as a service application resource of the specified network slice on the authorized resource, wherein the format of the BSR corresponds to the RNTI of the specified network slice.
Optional embodiment three:
in an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, a manner that the network side configures the scheduling request SR resource for the terminal in step S302 of this embodiment may be: the method comprises the steps that a network side allocates an RNTI resource for a terminal and configures a corresponding slice ID for each network slice, wherein the RNTI resource allocated by the network side is used for representing that SR is configured with SR resources.
Based on this, the manner that the network side receiving terminal in step S306 sends the BSR on the authorized resource to apply for the resource for the service of the designated network slice may be: a network side receives a service application resource of a specified network slice, wherein a BSR (service request) carrying a slice ID of the network slice corresponding to the applied resource and sent by a terminal on an authorized resource is used by the network side; or, the network side receives a service application resource for a specified network slice by a BSR sent by the terminal on an authorized resource, wherein the format of the BSR corresponds to the specified network slice.

The invention will now be illustrated with reference to an alternative embodiment thereof;
in the optional embodiment, four optional embodiments are provided for how to perform resource application and allocation of the network slicing system, and the four optional embodiments are described below;
alternative embodiment one
When the terminal is accessed to different network slices, the network side allocates different RNTIs for the terminal, and each RNTI corresponds to one network slice. Wherein all network slices can be used for resource application. When a terminal applies for a resource for a certain network slice, a base station sends a BSR (buffer status report) on the resource allocated to the network slice of the terminal. In order to achieve the above purpose, the network side needs to allocate different SR resources for different network slices of the terminal; when applying for resources for the BSR through the random access procedure, the UE shall report the RNTI corresponding to the network slice of the resource applied by the UE in the message 3.
Alternative embodiment two
When the terminal is accessed to different network slices, the network side allocates different RNTIs for the terminal, and each RNTI corresponds to one network slice. Wherein only one specific network slice can be used for resource application. The terminal applies for resources for different network slices by sending different BSRs. For example: BSRs with different formats or RNTIs corresponding to different network slices are carried in the BSR. After receiving the BSR, the network side indicates, via the RNTI, that the allocated resources correspond to a certain network slice.
Alternative embodiment three
When the terminal accesses different network slices, the network side allocates only one RNTI for the terminal. The terminal sends different BSRs for different network slices, e.g., different formats or carrying different network slice IDs. The network side indicates the network slice ID when allocating resources for the terminal.
Alternative embodiment four
When the terminal accesses different network slices, the network side allocates only one RNTI for the terminal. The terminal sends different BSRs for different network slices, e.g., different formats or carrying different network slice IDs. The network side indicates only the RNTI without indicating the network slice ID when allocating resources for the terminal. The terminal schedules the buffered data through a Logical Channel Priority (LCP) mechanism. Further, the parameters of the LCP are configured and updated by the base station through RRC signaling.
The LCP configuration described above may be implemented as follows: configuring priority/maximum bit rate/minimum bit rate/time delay requirements and the like for each network slice; the configuration may be transmitted by broadcast or unicast signaling.
As can be seen from the above four optional embodiments, in the optional embodiment, a problem is proposed how to process the resource application and how to allocate the resource after obtaining the resource for the UE user in the presence of the slice.

step S7 a-6: the network side uses the RNTI of the terminal on the network slice for scheduling;
step S7 a-8: and the terminal applies for the resources for the data on the network slice on the scheduled resources.
Fig. 7b is a schematic diagram of a process of a terminal applying for resources for data of multiple network slices through a random access procedure, as shown in fig. 7b, where the process includes the steps of:
step S7 b-2: when data are generated at the terminal, if the terminal is not allocated with SR, the terminal sends RA preamble (Msg 1) to perform a resource application process based on competitive access;
step S7 b-4: the network side sends a random access response (Msg 2);
step S7 b-6: a terminal sends a first scheduling transmission (Msg 3), wherein the terminal carries an RNTI corresponding to a network slice for resource application;
step S7 b-8: the network side uses the RNTI in the step S3b-6 as a terminal to carry out resource scheduling;
step S7 b-10: the terminal transmits a BSR on this resource.

The network side differentiates network slices in scheduling resources for the terminal.
Fig. 8a is a schematic diagram of a second process of a terminal applying for resources for data of multiple network slices through SR according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8a, the steps of the process include:
step S8 a-2: the network side distributes SR resources for the terminal through RRC signaling, and the SR resources are subordinate to the terminal and do not distinguish the network slice to which the terminal belongs.
Step S8 a-4: when the terminal has data generated on any network slice, using the SR resource allocated in step S8a-2 to perform resource request to send BSR;
step S8 a-6: the network side uses the default RNTI of the terminal for scheduling;
step S8 a-8: the terminal applies for resources for the data on the network slice triggering SR in step S8a-4 by transmitting BSR on the resources scheduled in step S8 a-6.
