Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for radio resource control connection.
Background
Currently, in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a cell generally has an uplink and a downlink, where the uplink and the downlink use the same frequency band, but the uplink coverage is usually very limited due to limited terminal transmission power.
The 5G NR standard proposes uplink and downlink decoupling, which is characterized by having two uplinks and a downlink for a cell, where the two uplinks include a Supplemental Uplink (SUL) and a non-supplemental uplink (NUL), where the SUL uses a lower frequency and the NUL uses a higher frequency.
When a terminal device accesses a base station, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) establishment failure may occur continuously. In the LTE network, the terminal device may choose to access another cell or abandon establishment after continuous RRC establishment fails, but in an uplink and downlink decoupling scenario, there is no relevant mechanism to handle the RRC establishment failure.
Disclosure of Invention
The application provides a radio resource control connection method and device, which are used for solving the problem that no relevant mechanism is available to process RRC establishment failure in an uplink and downlink decoupling scene.
In a first aspect, a method for radio resource control connection provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: the method comprises the steps that user equipment receives a first message sent by network equipment, wherein the first message is used for indicating the RRC connection establishment failure of the user equipment; the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer, wherein the first timer indicates that the supplemental uplink is not allowed to be used if the first timer is in an active period, the supplemental uplink is allowed to be used if the first timer is in an inactive period, the non-supplemental uplink is not allowed to be used if the second timer is in an active period, and the non-supplemental uplink is allowed to be used if the second timer is in an inactive period. In the embodiment of the application, the user equipment maintains the two timers, so that the channel quality of the supplementary uplink and the non-supplementary uplink can be judged according to the states of the two timers after the RRC is failed to be established, and the uplink is determined to be used for reestablishing the RRC connection.
In one possible design, when the user equipment re-establishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer, if the second timer is in an active period and the first timer is in an inactive period, the user equipment may re-establish the RRC connection using the supplemental uplink. In the above design, the state of the second timer may indicate whether the non-supplemental uplink of the user equipment is suitable for establishing the RRC connection, and the second timer may be activated when the non-supplemental uplink is not suitable for establishing the RRC connection, so that the user equipment selects the supplemental uplink to establish the RRC connection when the non-supplemental uplink is not allowed to be used.
In one possible design, the user equipment may measure the downlink signal quality value before the user equipment re-establishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer. Therefore, when the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer, if the first timer is in an active period, the second timer is in an inactive period, and the downlink signal quality value is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the user equipment may reestablish the RRC connection using the non-supplemental uplink. In the above design, the supplemental uplink is not allowed to be used, and when the downlink signal quality value is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it may indicate that the channel status of the non-supplemental uplink is relatively good, so that the user equipment may select the non-supplemental uplink to establish the RRC connection.
In one possible design, when the ue reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer, if both the first timer and the second timer are in the active period, the ue may choose to reestablish the RRC connection using the uplink of the neighboring cell. In the above design, when both the first timer and the second timer are in the activation period, it may be indicated that the channel quality of the supplemental uplink and the channel quality of the non-supplemental uplink are not good enough, so that the user equipment selects another cell for access, which may improve the accuracy of access, thereby improving the user experience.
In one possible design, the downlink signal quality value may be measured before the user equipment re-establishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer. Therefore, when the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer, if the first timer and the second timer are both in the inactive period and the downlink signal quality value is smaller than the first threshold, the user equipment may reestablish the RRC connection using the supplemental uplink. If the first timer and the second timer are both in the inactive period and the downlink signal quality value is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the ue may reestablish the RRC connection using the non-supplemental uplink. In the above design, the channel quality of the non-supplemental uplink is characterized by the downlink signal quality value, so that the user equipment can determine which uplink to select for establishing the RRC connection according to the channel quality of the non-supplemental uplink.
In one possible design, the ue may activate the first timer if the ue fails to establish the RRC connection N consecutive times on the supplemental uplink, where N is an integer greater than 0. In the design, the RRC connection is continuously established for N times on the supplementary uplink and fails, which indicates that the channel quality of the supplementary uplink is not good enough, and the first timer is activated, so that the user equipment does not need to repeatedly establish the RRC connection on the supplementary uplink when the RRC connection fails, the random access efficiency and accuracy are improved, and the user experience is improved.
In one possible design, the ue may activate the second timer if the ue fails to establish the RRC connection M consecutive times on the non-supplemental uplink, where M is an integer greater than 0. In the above design, the RRC connection is failed to be established on the non-supplemental uplink M times, which indicates that the channel quality of the non-supplemental uplink is not good enough, and the second timer is activated, so that the user equipment does not need to repeatedly establish the RRC connection on the non-supplemental uplink when the RRC establishment fails, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of random access, and further improving the user experience.
In one possible design, the user equipment may activate a second timer if a transmit power of the user equipment on the non-supplemental uplink reaches a second threshold. In the above design, when the transmit power of the ue on the non-supplemental uplink reaches the second threshold, it indicates that the channel state of the non-supplemental uplink is not good enough, and by activating the second timer, the ue does not need to repeatedly establish RRC connection on the non-supplemental uplink when RRC establishment fails, so that the efficiency and accuracy of random access are improved, and user experience is improved.
In one possible design, the user equipment may activate the first timer and the second timer if a sum of a first number and a second number is greater than a third threshold, where the first number is a number of times that the user equipment fails to establish the RRC connection on the supplemental uplink, and the second number is a number of times that the user equipment fails to establish the RRC connection on the non-supplemental uplink. In the above design, when the total number of times of RRC connection establishment failures of the ue on the non-supplemental uplink and the supplemental uplink is too many, it indicates that the ue does not have a coverage area of the cell, or the ue is in an edge area of the coverage area of the cell, and by activating the first timer and the second timer, the ue does not need to repeatedly establish an RRC connection on the uplink of the cell when the RRC establishment fails, but selects another cell to establish an RRC connection, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of random access, and further improving user experience.
In a second aspect, a method for radio resource control connection provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: the method comprises the steps that user equipment receives a first message sent by network equipment, wherein the first message is used for indicating that the user equipment Radio Resource Control (RRC) fails to be established on a first uplink, the first message carries first information, and the first information is a waiting duration or a failure reason, wherein the first uplink is a supplementary uplink or a non-supplementary uplink; the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first information. In the embodiment of the application, the network device informs the user equipment of a waiting time or a failure reason after the RRC connection is failed to be established, so that the user equipment can determine which uplink is used for reestablishing the RRC connection according to the waiting time or the failure reason.
In one possible design, the first information may be a waiting duration, and when the ue reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first information, if the waiting duration is equal to 0, the ue may reestablish the RRC connection using the first uplink; if the waiting time is longer than 0, the user equipment uses a second uplink to reestablish RRC connection, wherein if the first uplink is a supplementary uplink, the second uplink is a non-supplementary uplink; alternatively, if the first uplink is a non-supplemental uplink, the second uplink is a supplemental uplink. In the above design, by judging the value of the wait time, if the wait time is not 0, the SUL is directly used to initiate the RRC connection after the RRC connection is failed to be established on the NUL, so that the NUL and the SUL are alternately used, and the accuracy of establishing the RRC connection between the user equipment and the network equipment is improved.
In one possible design, after the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection using the second uplink, the user equipment may receive a second message sent by the network equipment, the second message indicating that the user equipment RRC connection failed to be established on the second uplink. And after the waiting time length is overtime, the user equipment uses the first uplink to reestablish RRC connection. In the design, by judging the value of the wait time, if the wait time is not 0, the SUL is directly used for initiating RRC connection after the RRC connection established on the NUL fails; and after the wait time is overtime, the NUL is used for establishing RRC connection, so that the NUL and the SUL are alternately used, and the accuracy of establishing RRC connection between the user equipment and the network equipment is improved.
In one possible design, the user equipment may determine that a number of failures to establish the RRC connection on the first uplink is not greater than a first threshold before the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection using the first uplink. The user equipment may determine that a number of times the RRC connection was failed to be established on the second uplink is not greater than a first threshold before the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection using the second uplink. In the above design, when the number of times of RRC connection establishment failures on the supplemental uplink and the non-supplemental uplink is too large, the user equipment may avoid using the corresponding uplink to establish the RRC connection, so that the accuracy of establishing the RRC connection between the user equipment and the network device may be improved.
In one possible design, if the number of times of failure to establish the RRC connection on the first uplink is greater than a first threshold and the number of times of failure to establish the RRC connection on the second uplink is greater than a second threshold, the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection using the uplink of the neighboring cell. In the above design, when the number of times of RRC connection establishment failures on the supplemental uplink and the non-supplemental uplink is too many, the ue may avoid using the cell to establish the RRC connection, and directly select another cell to establish the RRC connection, so that the accuracy of establishing the RRC connection between the ue and the network device may be improved.
In one possible design, the first message is a failure cause. When the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first information, if the failure reason is that the distance between the user equipment and the network equipment exceeds a threshold value, or the failure reason is that the network equipment fails to decode, the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection by using a second uplink, wherein if the first uplink is a supplementary uplink, the second uplink is a non-supplementary uplink; alternatively, if the first uplink is a non-supplemental uplink, the second uplink is a supplemental uplink. Through the design, after the user equipment knows that the specific reason of the RRC establishment failure is that the distance between the user equipment and the network equipment exceeds the threshold value or the network equipment fails to decode, the user equipment can determine that the user equipment is not in the coverage range of the non-supplementary uplink, so that the user equipment can select the supplementary uplink to establish the RRC connection, the user equipment can avoid repeatedly establishing the RRC connection on the non-supplementary uplink for many times, and the efficiency and the accuracy of establishing the RRC connection can be improved.
In one possible design, the first message is a failure cause. When the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first information, if the failure reason is that the network equipment is overloaded, the user equipment may switch to another network equipment to reestablish the RRC connection. Through the design, the user equipment can select other network equipment to establish the RRC connection after knowing that the specific reason of the RRC establishment failure is network equipment overload, so that the RRC connection can be prevented from being established with the network equipment repeatedly, and the efficiency and the accuracy of establishing the RRC connection can be improved.
In a third aspect, the present application provides a radio resource control connection apparatus, which may be a user equipment, or may be a chip or a chipset in the user equipment. The apparatus may include a processing unit and a transceiver unit. When the apparatus is a user equipment, the processing unit may be a processor, and the transceiving unit may be a communication interface; the apparatus may further include a storage unit, which may be a memory; the storage unit is used for storing instructions, and the processing unit executes the instructions stored in the storage unit so as to enable a user to execute corresponding functions in the first aspect and the second aspect. When the apparatus is a chip or chipset within a user equipment, the processing unit may be a processor, and the transceiving unit may be an input/output interface, a pin or a circuit, etc.; the processing unit executes the instructions stored in the storage unit to enable the user equipment to execute the first aspect and the second aspect. The memory unit may be a memory unit (e.g., register, cache, etc.) within the chip or chipset, or a memory unit (e.g., read only memory, random access memory, etc.) external to the chip or chipset within the communication device.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
If the low-latency service is not well handled, it not only brings a bad user experience to the client, but also causes an economic loss to the client, which is not acceptable. For example, for a trading company in an electronic trading market, if the processing time (including latency) of its trading system is 5ms (milliseconds) slower than the competing partner, it will lose 1% of its profit, and if it is 10ms slower, the loss is extended to 10%. A terminal device accessing a network device needs to establish Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the network device, and if the RRC connection fails, a large time delay is certainly caused, and user experience is deteriorated.
Currently, in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a cell generally has an uplink and a downlink, where the uplink and the downlink use the same frequency band, but the uplink coverage is usually very limited due to limited terminal transmission power.
Because the uplink coverage of a New Radio (NR) is very limited due to limited terminal transmit power, sometimes the uplink coverage of a terminal in an NR scenario is only about half of the downlink coverage of a base station, the 5G NR standard proposes uplink and downlink decoupling, where the uplink and downlink decoupling is decoupling for a relationship between frequency spectrums used by NR uplink and downlink, and the uplink and downlink decoupling is characterized by having two uplinks and a downlink for one cell, where the two uplinks include a Supplemental Uplink (SUL) and a non-supplemental uplink (non-SUL, NUL), where the SUL uses a lower frequency and the NUL uses a higher frequency. The frequency of the SUL is less than that of the NUL, and since the SUL has a lower frequency and less attenuation than the NUL, signals are transmitted at the same power and the signals are transmitted farther apart using the SUL than they are transmitted using the NUL, it can also be understood that the coverage area using the SUL is larger than that using the NUL. As shown in fig. 1, the area 1 is the coverage area of the SUL, such as: 1.8GHz to solve or improve the problem of uplink coverage limitation, the terminal device located in the area 1 may use the SUL to access the base station. The area 2 is the range covered by the NUL, and the terminal equipment located in the area 2 can access the base station by the NUL. In the NR, the SUL (such as a low frequency band) can be utilized to solve the problem of insufficient uplink coverage of the non-SUL (high frequency band), which is beneficial to providing continuous coverage and enhancing mobile experience.
Where the NUL and the downlink (NR DL) may use the same frequency band (e.g., Time Division Duplex (TDD)) or form a pair of frequency bands (e.g., Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)), the SUL may use the existing LTE low frequency (e.g., 1.8GHz) according to the frequency band combination specified by the standard and the operator's plan.
When a terminal device accesses a base station, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) establishment failure may occur continuously. In the LTE network, the terminal device may choose to access another cell or abandon establishment after continuous RRC establishment fails, but in an uplink and downlink decoupling scenario, there is no relevant mechanism to handle the RRC establishment failure. Based on this, embodiments of the present application provide a method and an apparatus for RRC connection, so as to solve a problem how a terminal device handles RRC establishment failure in an uplink and downlink decoupling scenario, where the method and the apparatus are based on the same technical concept, and because the principles of the method and the apparatus for solving the problem are similar, the apparatus and the method may be implemented by referring to each other, and repeated details are not repeated.

The RRC connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application is specifically described below with reference to the user equipment shown in fig. 3 and the network equipment shown in fig. 4.
The first embodiment is as follows:
fig. 5 shows a RRC connection method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method specifically includes:
s501, the network device sends a first message to the user device, wherein the first message is used for indicating that the RRC connection establishment of the user device fails. Correspondingly, the user equipment receives a first message sent by the network equipment. Illustratively, the first message may be an RRC reject (reject) message (indicating rejection of the RRC connection of the UE).
And the user equipment may send an RRC connection request (RRC connection request) message to the network equipment before receiving the first message, where the RRC connection request is used to request the network equipment to establish an RRC connection with the user equipment. The network device responds to an RRC reject message if the network device fails to establish an RRC connection.
S502, the ue reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer, wherein the first timer indicates that the supplemental uplink is not allowed to be used if the first timer is in the active period, the supplemental uplink is allowed to be used if the first timer is in the inactive period, the non-supplemental uplink is not allowed to be used if the second timer is in the active period, and the non-supplemental uplink is allowed to be used if the second timer is in the inactive period.
For example, in a 5G scenario, the UE may maintain two timers (i.e., a first Timer and a second Timer, where the first Timer and the second Timer are only an exemplary illustration, the first Timer may also be referred to as a SUL bar Timer, and the second Timer may also be referred to as a NUL bar Timer, and a physical meaning of the Timer is that the UE prohibits to access the NUL or the SUL of the corresponding cell when the two timers are activated, specifically, the UE prohibits to access the SUL of the corresponding cell when the first Timer is activated, and the UE prohibits to access the NUL of the corresponding cell when the second Timer is activated.
For example, the ue may activate the first timer when the RRC connection is failed to be established N consecutive times on the SUL, where N is an integer greater than 0. The ue may also activate a second timer when the RRC connection is failed to be established M consecutive times on the NUL, where M is an integer greater than 0, where N and M may be the same or different. The user equipment may also activate a second timer when the transmit power on the NUL reaches a second threshold, at which point the remaining retransmissions on the NUL may be terminated prematurely. The user equipment activates the first timer and the second timer when a sum of a number of times that the RRC connection can be established on the SUL and a number of times that the RRC connection can be established on the NUL is greater than a third threshold.
In the embodiment of the application, the user equipment maintains the two timers, so that after the RRC is established unsuccessfully, which uplink is used for reestablishing the RRC connection can be determined according to the states of the two timers.
Generally, when the ue randomly accesses the network device, the ue may first measure a DL Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), and if the DL RSRP is greater than or equal to a first Threshold (in this embodiment, the first Threshold is referred to as SUL-RSRP-Threshold, but the name of the Threshold is not specifically limited), the ue establishes an RRC connection with the network device using the NUL. If DL RSRP is less than SUL-RSRP-Threshold, the user equipment may establish an RRC connection with the network device using SUL.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may further measure DL RSRP before the user equipment re-establishes RRC based on the first timer and/or the second timer. In this way, the user equipment may determine, through the two timers maintained, which uplink to use to reestablish the RRC connection according to states of the two timers after the RRC establishment fails, and there may be several cases as follows:
the first condition is as follows: and if the first timer and the second timer are both in the inactive period and the DL RSRP is less than SUL-RSRP-Threshold, the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection by using the SUL.
Case two: and if the first timer and the second timer are both in the inactive period and the DL RSRP is greater than or equal to SUL-RSRP-Threshold, the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection by using the NUL.
Case three: if the second timer is in the active period and the first timer is in the inactive period, the ue may reestablish the RRC connection using the NUL. That is, when the first timer is inactive and the second timer is active, the UE may reattempt access on the SUL regardless of the relationship between NR DL RSRP and SUL-RSRP-Threshold.
Case four: if the first timer is in an active period, the second timer is in an inactive period, and the downlink signal quality value is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the ue may reestablish the RRC connection using the NUL. That is, when the first timer is in the active period and the second timer is in the inactive period, and the UE measures dl RSRP ═ sul-RSRP-Threshold, the UE re-attempts to access on the NUL.
Case five: if the first timer and the second timer are both in the active period, the ue may choose to reestablish the RRC connection using the uplink of the neighboring cell.
In addition, when the sum of the number of times of the RRC connection establishment failure on the NUL + the number of times of the RRC connection establishment failure on the SUL is greater than N, where N is a number of consecutive times that the UE fails to establish the RRC connection on the SUL, the UE may attempt access through other cells. In addition, when the UE transmits power on the NUL to the maximum, the UE may terminate the remaining retransmissions on the NUL in advance and switch to the SUL to re-perform the RRC access.
By the method, the user equipment can measure DL RSRP before random access, and if the DL RSRP is larger than or equal to SUL-RSRP-Threshold, the access can be selected according to the sequence of NUR-SUL-adjacent cell uplink when RRC connection is established with the network equipment. If DL RSRP < SUL-RSRP-Threshold, access may be selected in the order of SUL-neighbor cell uplink when establishing RRC connection with the network device. While the corresponding uplink may be skipped when a certain timer is activated, for example, the user equipment may skip SUL to re-establish the RRC connection when the first timer is activated. For another example, when the second timer is activated, the ue may skip the NUL to re-establish the RRC connection. For another example, when both the first timer and the second timer are activated, the ue may skip the NUL and the SUL to reestablish the RRC connection, and select the uplink of the other cell to reestablish the RRC connection, as shown in fig. 6.
When the UE establishes RRC connection with the network device by using the RRC connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the coverage of NR NUL in the SUL scenario is substantially the same as the coverage of NR DL. As shown in fig. 7A, when the UE measures DLRSRP > -sum-RSRP-Threshold, it may access in the order of NUL-SUL-neighbor cells. At this time, the UE is located in the NRNUL coverage area, the UE is closer to the network device in the cell 1, and is further from the network device in the neighboring cell (e.g., the cell 2 or the cell 3), and the SUL has at least some advantage in terms of path loss, so it is reasonable for the UE to attempt to access the network device in the cell 1 closest to the SUL first after the RRC connection on the NUL fails, which is helpful to improve the RRC connection success rate. As shown in fig. 7B, access may be in SUL-neighbor cell order when DL RSRP < SUL-RSRP-Threshold. At this time, when the UE is located outside the NR NUL coverage and within the NR SUL coverage, the path loss of the network device in the scenario where the UE accesses the cell 1 through the NR NUL with a higher frequency is large, so it is reasonable that the UE may attempt to access the network device in the neighboring cell after the SUL access fails. If the first timer and/or the second timer are in the active period, the UE skips the procedure of performing random access in the corresponding UL, for example, when the first timer is activated, the UE may skip the SUL to re-establish the RRC connection. For another example, when the second timer is activated, the ue may skip the NUL to re-establish the RRC connection. For another example, when both the first timer and the second timer are activated, the ue may skip the NUL and the SUL to reestablish the RRC connection, and select the uplink of the other cell to reestablish the RRC connection.
Example two:
the RRC connection method provided in embodiment two of the present application may be as shown in fig. 8, and the method specifically includes:
s801, a network device sends a first message to a user equipment, wherein the first message is used for indicating that the user equipment RRC is failed to establish on a first uplink, and the first message carries a waiting duration, and the first uplink is SUL or NUL. Correspondingly, the user equipment receives a first message sent by the network equipment. Illustratively, the first message may be an RRC reject message (indicating rejection of the RRC connection of the UE).
Before the user equipment receives the first message, the user equipment may further send an RRC connection request message to the network equipment, where the RRC connection request is used to request the network equipment to establish an RRC connection with the user equipment. If the network device fails to establish the RRC connection, an RRC reject message is responded to the user equipment.
For example, the value of the waiting time (wait time) can be divided into 2 types, 0 or non-0, wherein the unit of the wait time of non-0 can be seconds, and if the scene is non-0, the wait time can reach 16 s.
S802, the ue reestablishes the RRC connection based on the waiting duration.
In the embodiment of the application, the network device informs the user equipment of a waiting time or a failure reason after the RRC connection is failed to be established, so that the user equipment can determine which uplink is used for reestablishing the RRC connection according to the waiting time or the failure reason.
For convenience of description, the first uplink is taken as NUL as an example.
When the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection based on the first information, it may determine that the wait time value in the received first message is: if the wait time length is equal to 0, the user equipment continues to reestablish the RRC connection by using the NUL. The counter value corresponding to the NUL continues to count, and when the counter value of the NUL reaches a maximum value (i.e., is greater than a threshold value), the SUL is used to establish the RRC connection. Wherein, the counter value of NUL refers to the number of RRC connection failures on NUL. If the wait time is greater than 0, the user equipment does not use the NUL to initiate RRC connection. The direct jump uses the SUL to establish the RRC connection, corresponding to the counter value of the SUL to continue counting. Wherein the counter value of the SUL refers to the number of RRC connection failures on the SUL.
Further, if the RRC connection establishment is successful on the SUL, the RRC connection is not re-established, i.e., the following procedure is terminated. If the RRC connection establishment fails on the SUL, it may wait for wait time out before attempting to establish the RRC connection using the NUL.
Further, before the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection using the first uplink, it may be determined that the number of times the RRC connection fails to be established on the first uplink is not greater than the first threshold. The number of times the RRC connection was established on the second uplink may be determined to be not greater than the first threshold before the user equipment reestablishes the RRC connection using the second uplink.
If the count of both the NUL and the SUL reaches the maximum value, the ue may switch the cell to establish the RRC connection. That is, if the number of times of the RRC connection establishment failure on the first uplink is greater than the first threshold and the number of times of the RRC connection establishment failure on the second uplink is greater than the second threshold, the ue may reestablish the RRC connection using the uplink of the neighboring cell.
In the second embodiment of the application, by judging the value of the wait time, if the wait time is not 0, the user equipment directly uses the SUL to initiate RRC connection after the RRC connection established on the NUL fails; after the wait time is out of time, the NUL is used to establish the RRC connection, and if the NUL and the counter of the SUL both reach the maximum value, the user equipment may switch the cell to establish the RRC connection, thereby implementing the NUL and the SUL to be used alternately, and further improving the accuracy of establishing the RRC connection between the user equipment and the network equipment, as shown in fig. 9.
Example three: currently, after the UE receives the RRC reject message, the UE side typically starts a Timer (e.g. 300s) and adds the cell to the blacklist, and the UE will not attempt to access the cell until the Timer ends. The user equipment is not aware of specific reasons for the RRC connection establishment failure, such as: a long-distance super-large radius; physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) resources are insufficient, cHannel Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resources are insufficient, the number of users is excessive, flow control, power is insufficient, and other reasons are judged and identified by the network device side, for example, RRC establishment fails due to excessive users, Central Processing Unit (CPU) overload, and other reasons, and the network device may send an RRC reject message to the user device. In the third embodiment of the present application, the network device carries the failure reason (for example, may indicate through idex) when sending the RRC reject message, and tells the user equipment to send the reason for the RRC establishment failure: the user equipment can execute the next action according to the failure reason indicated by the network equipment instead of repeated RRC connection for many times blindly, so that the accuracy of establishing RRC connection between the user equipment and the network equipment can be improved, and the user experience can be further improved.
The RRC connection method provided in the third embodiment of the present application may be as shown in fig. 10, and the method specifically includes:
s1001, a network device sends a first message to a user equipment, wherein the first message is used for indicating that the user equipment has a failure in establishing RRC connection on a first uplink, and the first message carries a reason of the failure in establishing RRC connection, and the first uplink is SUL or NUL. Correspondingly, the user equipment receives a first message sent by the network equipment. Illustratively, the first message may be an RRC reject message (indicating rejection of the RRC connection of the UE).
Before receiving the first message, the ue may further send an RRC connection request message to the network device, where the RRC connection request is used to request the network device to establish an RRC connection with the ue. The ue may also receive an RRC reject message sent back from the network device if the network device fails to establish the RRC connection.
In specific implementation, the first message may carry an index number corresponding to the failure cause, so that the user equipment may determine the specific cause of the RRC establishment failure according to the index number. Or, the first message may also carry the specific content of the failure reason, so that the user equipment may acquire the specific reason of the failure after receiving the first message. Of course, the first message may also carry the failure reason in other manners, which is not specifically limited herein.
S1002, the ue reestablishes the RRC connection based on the reason for the RRC establishment failure.
In the embodiment of the application, the network device informs the user equipment of the reason of the failure after the RRC connection is failed to be established, so that the user equipment can determine which uplink is used for reestablishing the RRC connection according to the waiting time or the reason of the failure, and the RRC connection is not established repeatedly and blindly.
For convenience of description, the first uplink is taken as NUL as an example.
For example, the failure cause may be that the distance between the user equipment and the network equipment exceeds a threshold value or the network equipment fails to decode. Accordingly, the ue may reduce the number of times of RRC connection repetition according to the failure reason, increase power to perform RRC connection, or directly switch to the SUL for RRC connection. As shown in fig. 11A.
Also for example, the failure cause may be an overload of the CPU of the network device. Accordingly, the user equipment can be directly switched to other network equipment according to the failure reason, namely, switched to a cell covered by other network equipment. As shown in fig. 11B.
Of course, the failure reason may also be other reasons, for example, PUCCH resources are insufficient, SRS resources are insufficient, the number of users is too many, flow control, power is insufficient, and the like, and correspondingly, the user equipment may select a scheme for establishing RRC connection according to a specific reason, which is not described here one by one.
In specific implementation, when the user equipment executes different RRC connection establishment schemes, the success rate of RRC (the success rate of different schemes corresponding to different reasons) may be recorded, so that a suitable execution policy may be formulated in combination with the failure reason and the success rate corresponding to each scheme.
Based on the same technical concept as that of the method embodiment, the embodiment of the present application provides a radio resource control connection apparatus, which may have a structure as shown in fig. 12 and includes a processing unit 1201 and a transceiving unit 1202. The apparatus is specifically configured to implement the functions of the user equipment in the embodiments of fig. 1 to 11B, and the apparatus may be the user equipment itself, or may also be a chip or a chip set in the user equipment or a part of the chip for executing the functions of the related method.

In one implementation, the processing unit may be specifically configured to: and if the second timer is in the active period and the first timer is in the inactive period, reestablishing the RRC connection by using the supplementary uplink.
In another implementation manner, the processing unit may be further configured to: and measuring the downlink signal quality value to obtain the downlink signal quality value before the RRC connection is reestablished based on the first timer and/or the second timer.

In another implementation manner, the processing unit may be further configured to: and measuring the downlink signal quality value to obtain the downlink signal quality value before the RRC connection is reestablished based on the first timer and/or the second timer. Thus, the processing unit, when re-establishing the RRC connection based on the first timer and/or the second timer, may specifically be configured to: if the first timer and the second timer are both in the inactive period and the downlink signal quality value is smaller than the first threshold value, reestablishing the RRC connection by using the supplementary uplink; and if the first timer and the second timer are both in the inactive period and the downlink signal quality value is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, reestablishing the RRC connection by using the non-supplementary uplink.
In some embodiments, the processing unit may be further configured to: if the user equipment fails to establish RRC connection on the supplementary uplink for N times, activating a first timer, wherein N is an integer greater than 0; and/or if the user equipment fails to establish RRC connection on the non-supplementary uplink for M times, activating a second timer, wherein M is an integer greater than 0; and/or activating a second timer if the transmit power of the user equipment on the non-supplemental uplink reaches a second threshold; and/or if the sum of the first times and the second times is greater than a third threshold, activating a first timer and a second timer, wherein the first times is the times of failure of the user equipment in establishing the RRC connection on the supplementary uplink, and the second times is the times of failure of the user equipment in establishing the RRC connection on the non-supplementary uplink.
Example two:

A processing unit 1201 configured to reestablish the RRC connection based on the first information.
Taking the first information as the waiting duration as an example, the processing unit may be specifically configured to: if the waiting time length is equal to 0, reestablishing RRC connection by using the first uplink; if the waiting time is longer than 0, reestablishing RRC connection by using a second uplink, wherein if the first uplink is a supplementary uplink, the second uplink is a non-supplementary uplink; alternatively, if the first uplink is a non-supplemental uplink, the second uplink is a supplemental uplink.
The transceiver unit may further be configured to: and after the processing unit reestablishes the RRC connection by using the second uplink, receiving a second message sent by the network equipment, wherein the second message is used for indicating that the RRC connection of the user equipment fails to be established on the second uplink. A processing unit, further operable to: after the waiting time period expires, the RRC connection is reestablished using the first uplink.
Further, the processing unit may be further configured to: determining that a number of failures to establish the RRC connection on the first uplink is not greater than a first threshold before reestablishing the RRC connection using the first uplink. Determining that a number of failures to establish the RRC connection on the second uplink is not greater than a first threshold before reestablishing the RRC connection using the second uplink.

Taking the first message as an example of the failure reason, the processing unit, when reestablishing the RRC connection based on the first message, may specifically be configured to: if the failure reason is that the distance between the user equipment and the network equipment exceeds a threshold value, or the failure reason is that the network equipment fails to decode, reestablishing RRC connection by using a second uplink, wherein if the first uplink is a supplementary uplink, the second uplink is a non-supplementary uplink; or, if the first uplink is a non-supplemental uplink, the second uplink is a supplemental uplink; or, if the failure reason is that the network equipment is overloaded, switching to other network equipment to reestablish the RRC connection.
