Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present disclosure is further described in detail by the accompanying drawings and examples.
A flow diagram of some embodiments of the distributed network access method of the present disclosure is shown in fig. 1.
In step 102, it is determined whether to allow the user to access the DU according to the dedicated service user id of the user initiating the access to the base station and the private network information of the DU of the base station. In some embodiments, the CU may store therein private network information of DUs that have established an interface with itself (e.g., F1 interface). In some embodiments, the private network information may include at least one of a private network cell name or a private network identity, a cell access mode, and a slice identity supported by the DU.
In some embodiments, the CU may obtain the private network information of the DU during the process of establishing an interface connection with the DU. As before step 102, step 101 may also be included: and in the process of establishing interface connection between the DU and the CU, the DU sends private network information to the CU so as to facilitate the CU to store the private network information, and carries out user scheduling according to the private network information.
In step 103, the CU informs the DU of the user's dedicated service user identity in case it is determined that the user is allowed to access the DU. In some embodiments, a dedicated service user identifier may be added to the setup user context signaling sent to the DU, so that the DU parses the setup user context signaling to obtain the dedicated service user identifier.
In step 104, the DU schedules resources for the user according to the dedicated service user identity and its own private network information. In some embodiments, the DU may be accessible to both public and private users, providing different services to the public and private users. In some embodiments, the DU determines the user type according to the dedicated service user identity, and then uses the matched predetermined resource configuration as the scheduling resource for the user. For example, if the user is a dedicated service user, the user can be given a higher service guarantee capability, and if the user is a public user, the general service guarantee capability is satisfied.
By the method, resources provided for the user can be determined according to the private network information of the DU and the private service user identification of the user, so that the private network can be configured for the distributed network and the private service can be provided for the user, and a network operator can set an independent private or private network for enterprise customers and vertical industry users according to the requirements of the enterprise customers and the vertical industry users on the basis of the distributed public network, so that the service is provided for the specific users, the flexibility of network configuration is improved, and the user experience is improved.
In some embodiments, the field extension may be performed on the basis of a 5G communication protocol, including:
adding a private network cell identifier: the special network cell number is used for marking, if the mark is empty, the cell is not a special network cell; if the identity is not null, it indicates that the cell is a dedicated cell or a hybrid cell. For example: the field is NPN-Identity and the data type is BIT STRING (SIZE (32)).
Adding a private network indication: indicating that the cell is a particular private cell. If the indication field is FALSE or null, it indicates that the cell is a hybrid cell; if TRUE, the cell is a dedicated cell. For example: the field is NPN-Indication and the data type is BOOLEAN.
Private network cell names are added, and can be used for distinguishing and identifying private network cells. For example: the field is NPN-Name and the data type is OCTET STRING (SIZE (1.. 32)).
In some embodiments, the user's private service user identification is used to identify the user's private network cell service qualifications. The dedicated service user identification comprises:
NPN Membership Status ENGERED (private network Membership information enumeration, wherein when the information is number, the special network cell access qualification is met, and when the information is not-number, the special network cell access qualification is not met);
NPN Membership ID List { NPN-Identity List } (private network identification List: private network cell identification NPN-Identity identifying all private network cells supported by the current user)
In some embodiments, the DUs may be configured with different cell access patterns to indicate the types of users that the cell is allowed to access. The Cell Access Mode may include: { Public, hybrid, Private } option.
Public: indicating that a public user can access;
hybrid cyber-means that both public and private users can access; different resources may be configured for public and private users.
Private — means that only Private users can access.
By the method, improvement can be made on the basis of the current protocol, so that the private network DU can be distinguished and identified, and a way for establishing a private network and meeting the requirements of enterprise customers and users in the vertical industry is provided on the basis of not influencing the existing network service.
In some embodiments, the DU may report the cell-specific network information to the CU when an interface connection is established with the CU, for example, when an F1 interface connection is established. The private network information may include private network cell identities, slice identities, and cell access modes supported by the current DU.
Taking the 5G NR system as an example, as shown in FIG. 2A:
in 201, a special cell identity level IE (Information Element) is added to the F1 SETUP REQUEST signaling. When a base station NG-RAN (radio access network) DU sends F1 SETUP REQUEST to establish F1 interface connection with an NG-RAN CU, the NG-RAN CU is informed of private network cell name/private network identification, slice identification and cell access mode supported by the NG-RAN DU through F1 SETUP REQUEST signaling, and the NG-RAN CU carries out scheduling and mobility management on users qualified for private network cell service based on the information.
In 202 the NG-RAN CU sends a RESPONSE message of F1 SETUP RESPONSE to the NG-RAN DU.
By the method, the private network information of the DU can be uploaded to the CU based on the existing process of establishing connection between the DU and the CU, so that the CU can control the service and the mobility of the access user, the signaling influence on the existing network is reduced, and the extra signaling overhead is avoided.
In some embodiments, when the cell configuration of the DU changes, the DU needs to update the private network cell identity, the cell access mode, and the slice identity supported by the cell to the CU.
Taking the 5G NR system as an example, as shown in FIG. 2B:
in 211, a special cell identity level IE is added to the GNB-DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE signaling, when the base station NG-RAN DU sends the GNB-DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE signaling to the NG-RAN CU through the F1 interface to UPDATE the cell information, the NG-RAN CU obtains the private network cell name/private network identity and priority, the cell access mode, and the slice identity that are newly supported by the NG-RAN DU through the signaling, and the NG-RAN CU schedules and manages the mobility of the users with the private network cell service qualification based on the above information.
In 212, a GNB-DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACKNOWLEDGE response message is sent to the NG-RAN DU.
By the method, the private network information updated by the DU can be uploaded to the CU based on the existing information updating process between the DU and the CU, so that the CU can update the service and the mobility of the access user in time, the signaling influence on the existing network is reduced, and the extra signaling overhead is avoided.
In some embodiments, when a CU determines a DU to which a user needs to access, the CU carries a dedicated service user identifier in a setup user context signaling, and the DU determines whether the user is a dedicated service user according to the dedicated service user identifier, and reasonably schedules user resources according to a cell service type (whether the cell is a dedicated network cell or a cell access mode) supported by the DU itself.
Taking the 5G NR system as an example, as shown in FIG. 2C:
in 221, a dedicated service user identifier IE is added to the UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST signaling, when the NG-RAN CU sends the UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message through the F1 interface, the dedicated service user identifier is sent to the NG-RAN DU, the NG-RAN DU obtains the state of the dedicated service user identifier of the user through the signaling, and the NG-RAN DU performs resource scheduling and information sending on the user qualified for the private network cell service based on the above information.
In 222, a RESPONSE message of the UE CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE is sent to the NG-RAN CU.
By the method, the special service user identification of the user can be timely sent to the DU based on the existing information sending process between the CU and the DU, so that the DU can carry out differentiated and personalized resource scheduling on the user, the signaling influence on the existing network is reduced, and the additional signaling overhead is avoided.
In some embodiments, when the user parameter changes, the CU carries a dedicated service user identifier in the modified user context signaling, the DU determines whether the user is a dedicated service user according to the dedicated service user identifier, and adaptively adjusts scheduling for the user resource according to a cell service type supported by the DU itself.
Taking the 5G NR system as an example, as shown in FIG. 2D:
in 231, a dedicated service user identifier IE is added to a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST signaling, when an NG-RAN CU sends a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message through an F1 interface, the dedicated service user identifier is sent to an NG-RAN DU, the NG-RAN DU obtains a dedicated service user identifier state of a user through the signaling, and the NG-RAN DU performs resource scheduling and information sending on the user with the qualification of the private network cell service based on the information.
In 232, the RESPONSE information of the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION RESPONSE is sent to the NG-RAN CU.
By the method, the special service user identification updated by the user can be timely sent to the DU based on the existing information updating process between the CU and the DU, so that the DU can carry out differentiated and personalized resource scheduling modification on the user, the signaling influence on the existing network is reduced, and the additional signaling overhead is avoided.
In some embodiments, when a user moves between DUs, the used DUs need to be handed over. A flow chart of further embodiments of the distributed network access method of the present disclosure is shown in fig. 3.
In step 301, when the dedicated service subscriber moves between DUs, a plurality of DU signal measurement information (e.g., including private network cell id, cell access mode, slice id) is reported to the CU. When receiving signal measurement information of a plurality of DUs from a user, a CU determines a target DU to which a terminal is switched according to the signal strength and the private network information of the DUs. In some embodiments, a CU may consider the DU signal strength, the private network cell identity, the cell access mode, the private network slice identity, and the DU load, and further select a target DU that can meet the user access requirement, can provide service to the user, and has a smaller current load amount.
In step 302, the CU transmits target DU information to the user through RRC information.
In step 303, when the user accesses the target DU, the CU informs the target DU of the user's private service user identity.
In step 304, the target DU schedules resources for the user according to the dedicated service user id and its own private network information. In some embodiments, the CU may inform the DU through user context modification signaling according to the change of the user status, so that the DU may adopt an appropriate scheduling policy according to the change of the user service status.
By the method, when the user moves between coverage areas of the DU, the DU can be switched in time, and the DU is distributed to the user according to the special service user identification of the user, thereby ensuring to provide the service matched with the special service user identification of the user and ensuring the signal quality and the service quality of the special network user.
A schematic diagram of some embodiments of the distributed network of the present disclosure is shown in fig. 4.
The core network 41 can determine whether to allow the user to access the DU according to the dedicated service user id of the user initiating the access to the base station and the dedicated network information of the DU of the base station. In some embodiments, the CU may store private network information of the DU that has established an interface connection with itself (e.g., F1 interface connection), and the core network may determine whether to allow the user to access the DU according to the information reported by the CU. In some embodiments, during the process of the DU interfacing with the CUs, the DU sends private network information to the CUs for storage by the CUs and performs user scheduling according to the private network information.
CU42 is able to inform the DU of the user's dedicated service user identity through user context setup signaling through the FI interface with the DU, in case it is determined that the user is allowed to access the DU.
The DUs 431-43 n can schedule resources for users according to the private service user identification and the private network information of the users.
In some embodiments, the CU and DU may interact with each other in a manner as in any of the embodiments above.
The distributed network can determine the resources provided for the user according to the private network information of the DU and the private service user identification of the user, thereby realizing the configuration of the private network for the distributed network and the provision of the private service for the user, and meeting the requirements of enterprise customers and vertical industry users.
