Description

Wireless connection method and device
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of information technologies, and in particular, to a wireless connection method and apparatus.
Background
In a third generation partnership project (3 GPP) system, when a terminal in an idle state needs to send uplink signaling or data, or when a core network sends downlink signaling or data to the terminal, the terminal needs to establish a connection with an access network device (e.g., a base station) through a random access procedure. In the process of establishing a connection between a terminal and an access network device, after the terminal receives a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection setup message sent by the access network device, the terminal sends an RRC connection setup complete message including a service request (service request) message to the access network device, thereby completing establishment of a connection with the access network device. After receiving the RRC connection setup complete message, the access network device passes the service request message to a core network device (e.g., Mobility Management Entity (MME)), which is used to trigger the core network device to set up context information for the terminal. After the core network device establishes context information for the terminal, the context information is sent to the access network device, and the access network device allocates radio resources to the terminal according to the received context information, for example, the radio resources may be Signaling Radio Bearers (SRBs) and Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) between the terminal and the access network device.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a wireless connection method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, the method includes:
step 201: the terminal sends a first message to the access network node.
The first message is for requesting establishment of a wireless connection with the access network node.
In this embodiment of the present application, the access network node may refer to an access network entity, and the specific content of the access network entity may refer to the above related description.
Step 202: the access network node receives a first message from the terminal.
Step 203: and the access network node sends a second message to the terminal according to the first message.
The second message includes information of radio resources allocated to the terminal.
Step 204: the terminal receives a second message from the access network node.
Optionally, before step 201, the method further includes: and the core network node establishes context information for the terminal in an idle state according to the historical access information of the terminal.
It should be noted that, the time point when the core network node establishes the context information for the terminal is different from the prior art. In the prior art, context information is established for a terminal only when a core network node receives a service request message of the terminal, but in the embodiment of the application, the core network node predicts a behavior of converting the terminal into a connection state according to historical access information of the terminal, and establishes the context information for the terminal when predicting time of converting the terminal into the connection state.
The historical access information of the terminal may include, but is not limited to: the time point when the terminal accesses the network, the time length when the terminal accesses the network each time, the position information of the terminal accessing the network, the moving range when the terminal accesses the network, the moving speed of the terminal, the moving direction of the terminal and the like.
The core network node may be an MME, an AMF entity, an SMF entity, or the like, and specific functions of the entities may refer to the related description of corresponding entities in fig. 1.
Specifically, the establishing of the context information for the terminal in the idle state may include the following steps:
step one, predicting the position of the terminal when the terminal is converted from an idle state to a connected state.
For example, when the terminal is switched from the connected state to the idle state, a core network node (e.g., MME or AMF entity) responsible for mobility management determines that the terminal is already in the idle state according to a user equipment context release message (UE context release message) or other messages sent by an access network node.
When the terminal is in an idle state, the core Network node may trigger an Enhanced service Mobile Location center (E-SMLC) entity to collect historical access information of the terminal, and send the collected historical access information to a prediction entity responsible for predicting a terminal behavior, where the prediction entity may be an existing Network entity, such as a Network Data Analysis (NWDA) entity, and the prediction entity may also be an application server specially predicting the terminal behavior.
The prediction entity predicts the position and time when the terminal is switched from the idle state to the connected state according to the historical access information of the terminal, and how to predict the position and time specifically, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The prediction entity sends the predicted position and time to a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) entity, a Network Exposure Function (NEF) entity, or a Control Plane Function (CPF) entity. While sending the predicted position and time, the prediction entity may also send information such as a temporary mobile identifier of the terminal, which is not described herein again.
Optionally, when the prediction entity predicts the position and the time, a timer may be started, where the duration of the timer is a difference between time a and time B, and time a is: predicting the time when the terminal is converted into a connection state; the time B is as follows: and the prediction entity predicts the time for converting the terminal into the connection state according to the historical access information of the terminal. For example, the prediction entity predicts the terminal to switch to the connected state at 0 am (i.e., time B), the prediction entity predicts the terminal to switch to the connected state at 0 am (i.e., time a) of the current day, and the timer has a timing duration of 2 hours.
The timer may be set in the SCEF entity, the NEF entity, or the prediction entity, and the timer may also be set in other network elements. The timer is used for sending a message carrying the predicted position of the terminal in the transition state to the connection state to the core network node by the entity provided with the timer when the timer is overtime, so as to trigger the core network node to establish context information for the terminal, which may specifically refer to the following description.
If the timer is set in the SCEF entity or the NEF entity, the predicting entity sends the predicted time to the SCEF entity or the NEF entity. The SCEF entity or the NEF entity sets the timing duration of the timer according to the received predicted time, and sends a message carrying the predicted position of the terminal in the switching state to the core network node (in the 4G system, the core network node is the MME; in the 5G system, the core network node is the AMF entity or the SMF entity) after the timer of the timer is overtime.
If the timer is set in other entities, the other entities send the message carrying the predicted position to the SCEF entity or the NEF entity after the timer is overtime. After receiving the message, the SCEF entity or NEF entity sends a message carrying the predicted position at which the terminal is switched to the connected state to the core network node.
And step two, after receiving the message carrying the predicted position, the core network node establishes context information for the terminal. The specific process of establishing the context information is not limited in this embodiment, and is not described herein again.
The core network node may send the context information of the terminal to the access network node after establishing the context information for the terminal.
After receiving the context information of the terminal, the access network node may determine that it is not necessary to immediately establish a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the access network node if the terminal does not establish an RRC connection with the access network node.
After receiving the context information of the terminal, the access network node may further establish a mapping relationship between the temporary mobile identifier of the terminal and the context identifier of the terminal, so that when the temporary mobile identifier of the terminal is received, the context information of the terminal is indexed according to the temporary mobile identifier of the terminal. The Temporary Mobile identity of the terminal may refer to an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the terminal or a System Architecture Evolution Temporary Mobile Subscriber identity (S-TMSI), and the Temporary Mobile identity of the terminal may have other forms, which is not described herein again.
Optionally, the core network node may send the context information of the terminal to the access network node, and at the same time, may also send first indication information to the access network node, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the access network node does not need to establish a wireless connection for the terminal immediately after receiving the context information of the terminal. After receiving the context information of the terminal, the access network node may allocate radio resources to the terminal according to the context information of the terminal. The radio resources include, but are not limited to, resources such as signaling radio bearers and data radio bearers between the terminal and the access network node.
In the prior art, when a terminal is in an idle state, only the core network node stores the context information of the terminal, and other nodes will clear the context information of the terminal, so that the access network node immediately establishes wireless connection for the terminal after receiving the context information of the terminal. In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the context information of the terminal, the access network node does not need to establish a wireless connection for the terminal immediately, in other words, after receiving the context information of the terminal, the access network node only stores the context information of the terminal, does not perform signaling interaction with the terminal, but performs signaling interaction with the terminal when the terminal initiates an RRC connection or pages the terminal, and establishes a wireless connection for the terminal.
Exemplarily, in step 201, the terminal may initiate a random access procedure when there is uplink data to be transmitted; the terminal may also initiate a random access procedure after receiving the first paging message sent by the access network node. Specifically, a random access procedure is initiated by sending a first message.
In this embodiment, the first message may be an RRC Connection Request (Connection Request) message.
In one possible scenario, when the access network node receives downlink data of the terminal from a core network node, the access network node sends a first paging message to the terminal. For example, the access network node is AN entity, the user plane node is a UPF entity, and when the UPF entity is connected with the AN entity, the UPF entity sends downlink data of the terminal to the AN entity after receiving the downlink data of the terminal, so that the AN entity sends a first paging message to the terminal;
in another possible scenario, when the access network node receives the second paging message from the core network node, the access network node sends the first paging message to the terminal. Wherein the second paging message is used to instruct the access network node to page the terminal. And the second paging message is sent by the core network node after determining that the user plane node receives the downlink data of the terminal. For example, the user plane node is AN UPF entity, the access network node is AN entity, and the core network node is AN AMF entity, when there is no connection between the UPF entity and the AN entity, the UPF entity caches downlink data of the terminal after receiving the downlink data of the terminal, and sends a data notification message to the SMF entity, and the SMF entity notifies the AMF entity after receiving the data notification message, and at this time, the AMF entity determines that the UPF entity receives the downlink data of the terminal. The AMF entity sends the second paging message to the AN entity, and the AN entity sends the first paging message to the terminal.
In this embodiment of the present application, a first paging message sent by an access network node may include second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that context information of the terminal is stored in the access network node. Or the second indication information may also be used to indicate that the access network node stores the context information of the terminal, or to indicate that the access network node has already acquired the context information of the terminal, or to indicate that the access network node maintains the context information of the terminal, or to indicate that the access network node has already established the context information of the terminal.
In this embodiment, the first message sent by the terminal may include the temporary mobile identity of the terminal. The temporary mobile identity of the terminal may be used to index context information of the terminal.
Further, the first message may further include an Establishment Cause (Establishment Cause) of the wireless connection, and the like. For example, the establishment cause of the wireless connection is Mobile Origin (MO) data (data), and if the establishment cause of the wireless connection is MO-data, it indicates that the terminal requests a service because it needs to transmit or receive data.
At this time, in step 202, after the access network node receives the first message from the terminal, the context information of the terminal may be obtained according to the temporary mobile identity of the terminal. Specifically, the access network node may obtain a context identifier (context identification) mapped to the temporary mobile identifier of the terminal, and further obtain context information of the terminal according to the context identifier. It should be noted that the mapping relationship between the temporary mobile identifier of the terminal and the context identifier of the terminal is determined after obtaining the context information of the terminal for the access network node.
In the scheme, the access network node can accurately and efficiently obtain the context information of the terminal according to the temporary mobile identifier of the terminal, so that the conversion time of the terminal from an idle state to a connected state is reduced, and the efficiency of establishing wireless connection for the terminal is improved.
In addition, after the access network node obtains the context information of the terminal, the radio resource may be allocated to the terminal according to the context information of the terminal. The radio resources include, but are not limited to, resources such as signaling radio bearers and data radio bearers between the terminal and the access network node.
In step 203, the second message may be an RRC Connection Reconfiguration (Connection Reconfiguration) message or an RRC Connection recovery (Connection Resume) message, which may be determined according to actual situations and will be described in detail later.
Further, the radio resource indicated by the information of the radio resource allocated to the terminal included in the second message is determined according to the context information of the terminal.
In this embodiment, in a possible implementation manner, after receiving the first message, the access network node may directly send the second message according to the first message, thereby skipping the step of establishing the context information for the terminal.
In another possible implementation manner, after receiving the first message, the access network node first acquires the establishment cause of the radio connection in the first message. And when the establishment reason of the wireless connection is Mo-data, the access network node sends the second message to the terminal, thereby skipping the step of establishing the context information for the terminal. Correspondingly, when the establishment cause of the wireless connection is not Mo-data, the access network node establishes Context information for the terminal according to the scheme in the prior art, for example, the access network node sends an initialization user equipment message (initialization UE message) to the core network node, and receives an initialization Context Setup Request (initialization Context Setup Request) sent by the core network node, and the like, which is not described herein again.
It should be noted that, when the establishment cause of the wireless connection is Mo-data, it indicates that the terminal needs to send or receive data to make a service request, so that if the access network node has context information of the terminal, the access network node does not need to interact with the core network node. However, when the establishment cause of the wireless connection is not MO-data, the terminal needs to interact with the core network node at this time, for example, when the establishment cause is MO-signaling, it indicates that the terminal may trigger the tracking area update procedure due to movement. At this time, the core network node may allocate network parameters such as a latest Tracking area identity List (TAI List) to the terminal, so that the access network node may perform steps such as sending an initialization ue message according to the existing procedure to complete the allocation of the latest Tracking area List to the terminal.
By the method, the access network node stores the Context information of the terminal before receiving the first message, so that the access network node can skip (or do not execute) the steps of sending an Initial UE message to the core network node and receiving the Initial Context Setup Request and the like sent by the core network node to establish the Context information of the terminal after receiving the first message, and directly send the second message to the terminal, thereby reducing the number of signaling sent by the access network node in the process of establishing wireless connection by the terminal and reducing the conversion time of the terminal from an idle state to a connection state.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another wireless connection process provided in the embodiment of the present application. The method shown in fig. 3 may be applied to the following scenarios: the terminal is in an idle state, and when the terminal needs to transmit uplink data, the terminal requests to establish wireless connection between the terminal and the access network node. In addition, the method shown in fig. 3 is based on the method shown in fig. 2, and is described by taking as an example that the first message is an RRC Connection request message, the second message is an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message, and the third message is an RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete (Connection Reconfiguration Complete) message.
The method shown in fig. 3 specifically includes:

For how the core network node specifically establishes the context information for the terminal, reference may be made to the foregoing description, which is not described herein again.
Step 302: the access network node receives context information of the terminal from a core network node.

In particular, the access network node may transmit the RRC connection setup message to the terminal over the DL-SCH.
Step 307: the terminal sends an RRC Connection Setup Complete (Connection Setup Complete) message to the access network node.
The RRC connection setup complete message may not include a service request (service request) message of a Non-access stratum (NAS). The service request message is used for triggering the core network node to establish the context information for the terminal, and the core network node establishes the context information for the terminal, so the message can not be sent any more.
Wherein, the steps 306 to 307 are optional steps.

Wherein, the message may include information of radio resources allocated to the terminal according to the context information of the terminal.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another wireless connection process provided in the embodiment of the present application. The method shown in fig. 4 may be applied to the following scenarios: the terminal is in an idle state, and when the terminal needs to transmit uplink data, the terminal requests to establish wireless connection between the terminal and an access network node. In addition, the method shown in fig. 4 is based on the method shown in fig. 2, and is described by taking the first message as an RRC Connection request message, the second message as an RRC Connection recovery message, and the third message as an RRC Connection response Complete message.
The method shown in fig. 4 specifically includes:
step 401: the core network node establishes context information for the terminal in an idle state.
For how the core network node specifically establishes the context information for the terminal, reference may be made to the foregoing description, which is not described herein again.
Step 402: the access network node receives context information of the terminal from a core network node.
Step 403: and the terminal sends a random access lead code to the access network node, and the random access lead code is used for initiating a random access process.
Step 404: and the access network node sends an RAR message to the terminal.
Specifically, the access network node may send a RAR message to the terminal over the DL-SCH.
Step 405: the terminal sends a first message, i.e. an RRC connection request message, to the access network node.
The first message may include information such as a temporary mobile identity of the terminal.
Illustratively, after receiving the first message, the access network node obtains a context identifier mapped with a temporary mobile identifier of the terminal, further obtains context information of the terminal according to the context identifier, and finally allocates wireless resources to the terminal according to the context information of the terminal.
Step 406: the access network node sends a second message, the RRC connection resume message, to the terminal.
Wherein, the message may include information of radio resources allocated to the terminal according to the context information of the terminal.
Wherein, the second message may further include second indication information.
Step 407: and the terminal sends a third message, namely an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the access network node.
For example, when the second message does not carry the second indication information, the terminal may determine that the context information of the terminal has been saved or stored or established or maintained or acquired in the access network node according to the second message.
Compared with the method shown in fig. 3, in the method shown in fig. 4, the access network node sends the RRC Connection recovery message to the terminal instead of the RRC Connection Setup message sent in step 306 in fig. 3, so that the access network node may implicitly inform the terminal by sending the RRC Connection recovery message, context information of the terminal has been saved or stored or established or maintained or acquired in the access network node, and the terminal may send an RRC Connection reconfiguration complete message to the access network node.
Illustratively, when the second message carries the second indication information, the terminal may determine, according to the second indication information, that the context information of the terminal has been saved or stored or established or maintained or acquired in the access network node.
In the above scheme, after determining that the context information of the terminal is stored or established or maintained or acquired in the access network node, the terminal directly sends the third message to the access network node without triggering the core network node through the access network node to establish the context information for the terminal, thereby saving the number of signaling sent in the process of establishing wireless connection by the terminal and reducing the time for switching the terminal from the idle state to the connection state.

Step 503: and the access network node receives the downlink data of the terminal from the core network node and sends a first paging message to the terminal.
Alternatively, step 503: the access network node receives the second paging message from the core network node and sends the first paging message to the terminal.
Wherein the first paging message may include the second indication information.
Step 504: and the terminal sends a random access lead code to the access network node, and the random access lead code is used for initiating a random access process.
Step 505: and the access network node sends an RAR message to the terminal.
Step 506: the terminal sends a first message, i.e. an RRC connection request message, to the access network node.

Step 507: the access network node sends a second message, the RRC connection resume message, to the terminal.
Wherein, the message may include information of radio resources allocated to the terminal according to the context information of the terminal.
Step 508: and the terminal sends a third message, namely an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the access network node.
Illustratively, the terminal may determine that the context information of the terminal has been saved or stored or established or maintained or acquired in the access network node directly according to the second indication information in the first paging message, so that the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message may be sent to the access network node.
In the above scheme, after determining that the context information of the terminal has been stored or established or maintained or acquired in the access network node according to the second indication information in the first paging message, the terminal directly sends the third message to the access network node, so that the step of establishing the context information for the terminal by the access network node is not triggered any more, thereby saving the number of signaling sent in the process of establishing the wireless connection by the terminal, and reducing the time for switching the terminal from the idle state to the connection state.
