Dual connectivity is an important solution of a fifth Generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation mobile communication technology, 5G) system, and includes Long Term Evolution-New air interface (LTE-NR) dual connectivity and New air interface-New air interface (NR-NR) dual connectivity. Wherein, the LTE-NR dual connectivity function is a mandatory function of a 5G NR dependent deployment scenario. The LTE-NR dual connectivity may use LTE as a cover layer and NR as a capacity layer, and a 5G terminal operating in the dual connectivity mode may experience performance gains brought by both LTE and NR systems. However, for the frequency band combination of partial LTE-NR dual connectivity, when the 5G terminal performs two system pilot frequency simultaneous transmissions, self-interference may be generated, and when the receiver falls locally within the receiving frequency band of a certain link, demodulation of the receiver may be directly affected. Therefore, for such frequency band combinations with severe interference, the 5G terminal is usually configured in uplink single-shot mode to avoid severe interference problems.
However, such a solution does not consider optimizing the performance of the 5G terminal operating in the uplink single-shot mode, so that the uplink rate and the downlink rate of the 5G terminal are affected, and the performance of the 5G terminal is deteriorated.

Since the deployment frequency band of the NR base station is higher than that of the LTE base station, path loss of a wireless signal is large in a transmission process, and therefore, the coverage area of the NR cell is smaller than that of the LTE cell.
With reference to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a system dual-connection scheduling policy, as shown in fig. 2, including:
201. and when the first base station determines that the terminal does not have the function of supporting LTE-NR dual transmission, the first base station receives a measurement report reported by the terminal.

When the terminal does not have a hardware link supporting the LTE-NR dual transmission function, or the terminal supports the LTE-NR dual transmission function but the performance of the terminal does not meet the requirement, the first base station determines that the terminal does not have the function supporting the LTE-NR dual transmission.
The first base station receives a measurement report reported by the terminal, and the measurement report may include cell signal quality of an LTE cell and cell signal quality of an NR cell.
202. The first base station judges whether the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell meet preset conditions. If the preset condition is met, executing step 203; if the preset condition is not satisfied, step 204 is executed.
Alternatively, the cell Signal Quality may be RSRP, Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), or other parameters known to those skilled in the art, and the present application is not limited thereto.
In the embodiment of the present application, the preset condition may be that the sum of the cell signal quality of the NR cell and the offset value is greater than the cell signal quality of the LTE cell.
203. The first base station sends a first RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal and sends the first configuration message to the second base station.
When the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell satisfy a preset condition, it indicates that the NR cell can provide a data service bearer for the terminal as a capacity layer. Therefore, the first base station sequentially sends first configuration information and first RRC reconfiguration messages to the second base station and the terminal, respectively, where the first RRC reconfiguration message is used for enabling the terminal to know that the first base station configures the NR cell under the second base station as the secondary cell PSCell of the first base station, and the first configuration information indicates that the second base station establishes SRB3 and DRB2 for the terminal, where SRB3 is a control plane signaling radio bearer established by the second base station, and DRB2 is a user plane data service bearer established by the second base station.
204. The first base station establishes a DRB1 for the terminal.
When the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell do not satisfy the preset condition, indicating that the NR cell does not meet the requirements of providing the SRB3 and the DRB2 for the terminal, the first base station provides the DRB1 for the terminal.
The embodiment of the application provides a system dual-connection scheduling strategy, when a first base station determines that a terminal does not have a function of supporting LTE-NR dual transmission, the first base station receives a measurement report reported by the terminal, wherein the measurement report includes cell signal quality of the LTE cell and cell signal quality of the NR cell, and the LTE cell and the NR cell are respectively the cells under the coverage of the first base station and the second base station, the first base station judges whether the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell meet the preset conditions or not, if the preset conditions are met, the first base station issues a first RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal, and sends a first configuration message to the second base station, where the first configuration message is used to instruct the second base station to establish SRB3 and DRB2 for the terminal, and the first RRC reconfiguration message is used to enable the terminal to know that the first base station configures the NR cell as the secondary cell PSCell of the first base station; if the preset condition is not met, the first base station establishes a DRB1 for the terminal. According to the scheme provided by the application, when the preset condition is met for the terminal which does not have the function of supporting LTE-NR double-transmission, the relevant data information of the terminal is borne by the NR cell, and when the preset condition is not met, the relevant information of the terminal falls back to the LTE cell for transmission, and meanwhile, an operator can effectively control the threshold for bearing the terminal data by the NR cell by setting a proper offset value, so that the overall spectrum utilization rate of the system is improved in a controllable and configurable mode on the premise of not influencing terminal experience.
On the basis of fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a system dual-connection scheduling policy, and as shown in fig. 3, a specific scheduling policy initiated from terminal access to a single-shot terminal may include:
301. and the terminal completes the initial access process and reports the capacity.
The terminal in the embodiment of the application may be a 5G terminal, and after the terminal completes an initial access process, the first base station notifies the terminal to perform capability reporting, where the capability of the terminal includes a baseband capability and a capability of whether the terminal supports LTE-NR dual-transmission and other frequency band correlation.
302. The first base station judges whether the terminal has the function of supporting LTE-NR dual-transmission. If the terminal does not support the LTE-NR dual-transmission function, step 303 is executed; and if the terminal supports the LTE-NR dual-transmission function, adopting an LTE-NR dual-transmission scheduling strategy.
After receiving the capability reported by the terminal, the first base station determines whether the terminal has a function of supporting LTE-NR dual-transmission on a specific frequency band combination (e.g., a combination of an LTE frequency band and an NR frequency band in which a 5G network operates).
303. And the terminal determines to adopt a single-shot scheduling strategy.
When the first base station judges that the terminal does not have the function of supporting LTE-NR dual transmission, the terminal determines to adopt a single-transmission scheduling strategy, and the single-transmission scheduling strategy is as shown in the following steps: when the information contained in the measurement report reported by the terminal meets the preset condition, if the terminal is in an RRC idle state, a first base station establishes a default bearer for the terminal; if the terminal is in the RRC connection state, the second base station establishes a data service bearer for the terminal, and the first base station is responsible for the mobility of the terminal and the relevant functions of cell configuration. And when the measurement report information reported by the terminal does not accord with the preset condition, the first base station establishes a control plane signaling bearer for the terminal no matter the terminal is in an RRC idle state or an RRC connected state.
304. The first base station establishes a default SRB0 for the terminal.
After the terminal completes the initial access process and the processes of security, authentication, capability reporting and the like, if no service is transmitted within a period of time, the first base station releases the RRC connection between the first base station and the terminal, and the terminal enters an RRC idle state. The terminal needs to attach to an LTE cell in an RRC idle state, and at this time, the first base station establishes a default signaling radio bearer SRB0 for the terminal, where the SRB0 is used to enable the terminal to send an RRC message to the first base station through a Common Control Channel (CCCH) logical Channel.
305. When the terminal has a service request, the terminal initiates an RRC connection establishment process to the first base station.
When the terminal has a service request, for example, a voice service or a data service, the terminal initiates an RRC connection establishment request to the first base station to establish a dedicated bearer. The RRC connection establishment request initiated by the terminal carries an initial NAS identifier of the terminal, an establishment cause, and the like, where the establishment cause may include dialing an emergency number, accessing with a high priority, accessing by a called party, sending a signaling, sending data, and the like.
306. The first base station establishes an SRB1 bearer to the terminal.
After receiving the RRC connection establishment request sent by the terminal, the first base station sends an RRC connection establishment message carrying complete configuration information of SRB1 to the terminal, and then receives an RRC connection establishment completion message carrying an NAS sent by the terminal. After the RRC connection is established, the first base station establishes an SRB1 bearer for the terminal, so as to be responsible for related functions such as mobility of the terminal and cell configuration.
307. And the terminal reports the measurement report to the first base station in the RRC connection state.
After entering an RRC connection state, the terminal reports a measurement report to the first base station, wherein the measurement report comprises the cell signal quality of an LTE cell in the coverage area of the first base station and the cell signal quality of an NR cell in the coverage area of the second base station. The NR cell configuration information is sent in a system message of the LTE cell, and the terminal performs measurement based on the configuration information and includes a measurement result in a measurement report.
308. The first base station judges whether the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell meet preset conditions. If the preset condition is satisfied, go to step 309; if the preset condition is not satisfied, step 311 is executed.
In the embodiment of the present application, the cell signal quality may be RSRP. Optionally, an embodiment of the present application provides a preset condition that: RSRP1+ offset > RSRP2, where RSRP1 represents RSRP of an NR cell, RSRP2 represents RSRP of an LTE cell, and a terminal obtains corresponding RSRP1 and RSRP2 by measuring CRS and SSS sent in a system message of the LTE cell, and offset is an offset value. By configuring a proper offset, a threshold for using the NR cell to carry user data can be controlled, and a specific offset value can be adjusted by an operator according to an actual situation and configured by an Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) system.
For example, when the terminal measures that RSRP of the NR cell is better than RSRP of the LTE cell when configured to have offset of 0, the first base station selects to carry user data through the NR cell; when configured with offset of 3dB, the terminal measures half the RSRP of the NR cell as that of the LTE cell, and the first base station still chooses to carry user data through the NR cell. That is, the larger the value of offset, the more likely the preset condition is satisfied, so that more user data can be carried through the NR cell.
309. The first base station sends a first RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal and sends the first configuration message to the second base station.
When the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell satisfy preset conditions, which indicate that the NR cell may provide a relevant data service bearer for the terminal, the first base station sequentially sends first configuration information and a first RRC reconfiguration message to the second base station and the terminal, respectively, where the first configuration information is used to instruct the second base station to establish a SRB3 and a DRB2 for the terminal, the first RRC reconfiguration message is used to enable the terminal to know that the first base station configures the NR cell under the second base station as a secondary cell PSCell of the first base station, and the first RRC reconfiguration message includes a cell Identifier (Identifier, ID) of the NR cell.
310. The second base station establishes SRBs 3 and DRBs 2 for the terminal.
The second base station receives first configuration information sent by the first base station through the scheduler, and when a new service request is initiated on the terminal (for example, a PDU session is initiated or a new DRB is established), the second base station establishes an SRB3 and a DRB2 for the terminal according to the first configuration information, where the SRB3 is mainly used for management, measurement configuration, physical layer configuration, and reconfiguration of a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and the like of the second base station.
311. The first base station establishes a DRB1 for the terminal.
When the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell do not satisfy the preset condition, indicating that the NR cell does not comply with the requirement of providing the SRB3 and the DRB2 for the terminal, the first base station establishes a DRB1 for the terminal.
Further, if the first base station detects NAS message transmission, the first base station establishes an SRB2 for the terminal, and conversely, if the first base station does not detect NAS message transmission, the first base station establishes an SRB1 for the terminal.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first base station and the second base station serve as a radio side, and a bearer correspondence relationship between the radio side and a terminal and a core network is shown in fig. 4, where there is no substantial difference between DRB1 and DRB2, and the radio side and the DRB are only used as data service bearers provided for the terminal by the LTE cell and the NR cell, respectively.
312. The terminal periodically detects the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell.
When the terminal moves or the wireless signal changes due to factors such as environmental shielding, the terminal can recognize the change of the channel condition in time by periodically detecting the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell, update the content of the measurement report and send the measurement report to the first base station.
Optionally, in the reporting process of the measurement report, the terminal may report the measurement report to the first base station periodically, or may report to the first base station in an event-triggered manner (for example, channel condition change, etc.), which is not limited in this application.
313. And if the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell do not meet the preset conditions, the first base station sends a second RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal and sends second configuration information to the second base station.
If the first base station determines that the cell signal quality of the LTE cell and the cell signal quality of the NR cell in the measurement report reported by the terminal do not satisfy the preset condition, that is, RSRP1+ offset < RSRP2 indicates that the NR cell does not satisfy the requirement for providing a data service bearer for the terminal, the first base station sequentially sends second configuration information and a second RRC reconfiguration message to the second base station and the terminal, respectively, where the second configuration information is used to instruct the second base station to release an RRC connection between the second base station and the terminal, and the second RRC reconfiguration message is used to enable the terminal to know that the first base station will establish DRB1 for the terminal.
314. And the second base station receives the second configuration information sent by the first base station.
The second configuration information is used for instructing the second base station to release the RRC connection between the second base station and the terminal.
