Description

Data transmission method, device and communication system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a data transmission method, an apparatus, and a communication system.
Background
A handover procedure between Evolved Node bs (enbs) in an existing Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system is shown in fig. 1. In the flow of fig. 1, in an Unacknowledged Mode (UM), when a User Equipment (UE) is handed over from a source eNB to a target eNB, an IP Packet buffered by the source eNB may be forwarded to the target eNB through an X2 interface, or may not be forwarded to the target eNB, and when the target eNB performs Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer processing on Data in a buffer, the procedure is restarted from a PDCP Sequence Number (SN) of 0. In the Acknowledged Mode (AM), in order to ensure the continuity of Data packets during handover, two types of Data need to be forwarded on a communication interface (X2) between eNode bs, one is an IP packet that is not processed by the PDCP layer, i.e., a PDCP Service Data Unit (SDU) packet, and the other is a PDCP Protocol Data Unit (PDU) packet that does not receive Acknowledgement Character (ACK) feedback. The user equipment feeds back the ACK in the uplink, and the base station feeds back the ACK in the downlink.
A Relay architecture (referred to as ALT-4) is proposed in 3GPP TR 36.806. The protocol stacks for the control plane and the user plane of ALT-4 are shown in fig. 2 and 3. For the User plane of the ALT-4 architecture, the data of the communication interface (Un) between the relay node and the eNB does not need to be processed by the IP, the User data packet Protocol (UDP), the gprs tunnel Protocol (gprs) -User plane layer, but only needs to be processed by the PDCP layer, thereby shortening the processing delay of data transmission. However, when ALT-4 is adopted, due to the absence of the Transport Network Layer (TNL), when data forwarding is performed, the target eNB cannot distinguish which data packets received from the X2 interface are PDCP SDU packets that have not been processed by the PDCP Layer, and which data packets are PDCP PDU packets that have not been processed by the PDCP Layer and received ACK feedback, which may cause disorder of the forwarded data when the target eNB performs SN association.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
First, a handover method between enbs in an existing LTE system is described by taking an LTE system using an ALT-4 architecture as an example, and a flowchart thereof is shown in fig. 1. In fig. 1, UE represents user equipment, MME represents a mobility management entity, SGW represents a serving gateway, and MME and SGW are network entities involved in the entire handover procedure. The whole switching process comprises 18 steps, including a control plane process and a user plane process, wherein the control plane switching process comprises a switching preparation process, a switching execution process and a switching completion process, and the user plane process comprises data forwarding and the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the data transmission method of the present invention is mainly improved for the SN status transmission message sent in step 8, so that after the UE confirms that the handover is successful (step 11), the target base station (eNB in this embodiment) does not generate a disorder when receiving data from the source base station (eNB in this embodiment).
The first embodiment of the data transmission method of the present invention describes the data transmission process of step 8 in fig. 1 from the source base station side, and the method includes the steps of: the method comprises the steps that a source base station sends a serial number SN state transmission message to a target base station, wherein the SN state transmission message comprises SN information corresponding to a PDCP PDU packet (the PDCP PDU packet refers to a data packet processed by a PDCP layer) which is used for indicating that the source base station does not receive acknowledgement character ACK feedback. The SN state transmission message is a PDCP PDU packet that the source base station does not receive ACK feedback, and the SN information is a field PDCP PDU number.
Since data is transmitted between the source eNB and the target base station through the Relay Node (RN) under the ALT-4 architecture, a GTP (GPRS tunneling protocol) layer does not exist between the RN and the target eNB, and only a PDCP layer is present. In order to let the target eNB know which PDCP PDU packets that the source base station has not received the ACK feedback and which PDCP PDU packets that the source base station has received the ACK feedback in the RN retransmission data packets, a field needs to be added in the existing PDCP PDU packet format to indicate that the source base station has not received SN information corresponding to the PDCP PDU packets that the ACK feedback.
The original PDCP PDU packet format is shown in fig. 4, D/C indicates whether the PDCP PDU packet is a Data plane packet or a control plane packet, R is a reserved field, PDCP SN is a sequence number generated by a PDCP layer at an Un interface when the PDCP PDU packet is transmitted through an interface Un between an RN and a target eNB, and is used to ensure the correctness of the sequence number of the PDCP PDU packet transmitted by the Un interface, PDCP SN (cont) is a count value of the transmitted PDCP PDU packet, Data and an ellipsis number are PDCP PDU packet Data parts, and Oct indicates an octal system.
The modified PDCP PDU packet format is shown in fig. 5, wherein R, which was originally a reserved field, is modified to be an F field: and the 1bit is occupied for indicating whether SN information corresponding to the PDCP PDU packet which is not received by the source base station at the Un interface and fed back by the ACK needs to be transmitted or not. Namely: when the F field is a value of 0, the SN information corresponding to the PDCP PDU packet which does not need to transmit the ACK feedback yet and is not received by the source base station at the Un interface is represented; when the value is 1, the SN information corresponding to the PDCP PDU packet which needs to be transmitted and the ACK feedback of the source base station is not received at the Un interface; the newly added PDCP PDU number field: and occupying 12 bits, which indicates that the source base station does not receive SN information corresponding to the PDCP PDU packet fed back by the ACK. In fig. 5, the newly added PDCP PDU number (cont) is used for the PDCP PDU packet count value that the source base station does not receive ACK feedback, and the ellipses indicate data. In this case, when F is 1, reading the 12-bit PDCP DPU number can obtain the sequence number of the PDCP PDU packet that the source base station has not received the ACK feedback, and since the priority of the transmission sequence of the PDCP PDU packet that has not received the ACK feedback is higher than that of the PDCP SDU packet, the sequence number of the PDCP SDU packet received later can be assigned according to the sequence number in the PDCP PDU packet received first, thereby ensuring the continuity of the PDCP SDU packet.
For example: the source node sends data packets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, wherein the data packets 4, 5 are PDCP SDU packets, and after sending the data packets 1, 2, 3, the source node receives ACK feedback of the PDCP PDU packets 1, 2, but does not receive ACK feedback of the PDCP PDU packet 3. At this time, the source node needs to resend the data packets 3, 4, and 5 to the target node according to the sequence of the data packets 3, 4, and 5 or 3, 5, and 4, and since the PDCP PDU packet indicates that the SN of the PDCP PDU packet is 3, after the target node receives the PDCP PDU packet, the target node assigns sequence numbers 4 and 5 to the PDCP SDU packet according to the sequence of the received PDCP SDU packet, thereby ensuring the continuity of the PDCP SDU packet.
The second embodiment of the data transmission method of the present invention describes the data transmission process of step 8 in fig. 1 from the target base station side, and the method includes the steps of: a target base station receives a Serial Number (SN) state transmission message from a source base station, wherein the SN state transmission message comprises SN information corresponding to a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) packet which is used for indicating that the source base station does not receive Acknowledgement Character (ACK) feedback;
and the target base station distributes a sequence number for the received PDCP service data unit SDU packet according to the SN information.
After introducing the ALT-4 relay architecture, because the PDCP SDU packet cannot carry the SN information corresponding to the PDCP SDU packet when being forwarded on the Un interface, the PDCP SN status report transmitted by the downlink X2 interface after introducing the ALT-4 relay architecture instead contains the SN information corresponding to the PDCP PDU packet which has not received ACK feedback. The PDCP SDU packet is not processed by the PDCP layer, and has no sequence number assigned, and the sequence number is assigned at the target base station, and when it is transmitted, its priority is the lowest, and the PDCP PDU packet processed by the PDCP layer that has not received the ACK feedback has a higher priority, so the data forwarding mechanism of the source base station is: the source base station firstly forwards the PDCP PDU packets which do not receive ACK feedback, and then forwards the PDCP SDU packets. Then the target base station can ensure that the PDCP SDU packet which is distributed with the sequence number on the source base station can be distributed with the same sequence number on the target base station by using the SN information transmitted in the PDCP SN state report, thereby ensuring the continuity of the PDCP SDU packet and carrying out the PDCP layer processing on the Un interface on the forwarded PDCP SDU data in sequence.
For example: the source node sends data packets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, wherein the data packets 4, 5 are PDCP SDU packets, and after sending the data packets 1, 2, 3, the source node receives ACK feedback of the PDCP PDU packets 1, 2, but does not receive ACK feedback of the PDCP PDU packet 3. At this time, the source node needs to resend the data packets 3, 4, and 5 to the target node according to the sequence of the data packets 3, 4, and 5 or 3, 5, and 4, and since the PDCP SN status report indicates that the SN of the PDCP PDU packet is 3, after the target node receives the PDCP PDU packet, the target node assigns sequence numbers 4 and 5 to the PDCP SDU packet according to the sequence of the received PDCP SDU packet, thereby ensuring the continuity of the PDCP SDU packet.
The data transmission method of the invention can be applied to the relay architecture defined by the 3GPP TR 36.806 protocol.
