Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information processing method, an information processing apparatus, an information processing device, and a readable storage medium.
Background
To extend network coverage, one solution is to introduce relays. The relay may be a terminal having a relay function. For UE-to-Network Relay, the interface between the Relay UE and the Network uses a Uu interface, and the interface between the Relay UE (User Equipment) and the remote UE (remote UE) uses a direct communication interface. The remote UE may also be referred to as a relayed UE, and the remote UE may establish a connection with the network or other remote UEs through the relay UE. The link between the relay UE and the network may be referred to as a Backhaul link (BH) for the remote UE.
The RRC (Radio Resource Control) states of the UE in the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system are only two: RRC _ IDLE (RRC IDLE state) and RRC _ CONNECTED (RRC CONNECTED state). The RRC state of a 5G NR (New Radio, New air interface) UE has three types: RRC _ IDLE, RRC _ INACTIVE (RRC INACTIVE), and RRC _ CONNECTED. The purpose of introducing RRC _ INACTIVE is two: 1) when there is no data transmission requirement, returning to RRC _ INACTIVE can recover RRC connection faster than returning to RRC _ IDLE; 2) when the UE moves, RRC _ INACTIVE may reduce signaling overhead relative to the RRC _ CONNECTED state.
In the LTE system, if the UE operates as a relay, it is mandatory that the relay UE be in an RRC _ CONNECTED state. However, for the NR system, how to ensure that the entire relay system works normally when the state of the relay UE changes is a problem to be solved.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the relay UE is changed from RRC _ CONNECTED to RRC _ INACTIVE. The RRC connection recovery message carries UE identification information used by the relay UE for requesting the recovery of the RRC connection of the Uu interface.

Step 604, the remote UE sends a second indication message to the relay UE.
And the second indication information is sent by the remote UE and is used for indicating that the remote UE has a relay requirement.
Step 605, the relay UE sends the third indication information to the first cell.
And the relay UE sends third indication information to the network equipment of the first cell. The third indication information is used for requesting to recover the RRC connection of the relay UE on the Uu interface.

Step 606, the first cell requests the second cell for the UE context of the relay UE or the relay UE and the remote UE served by the relay UE, and the second cell sends the UE context of the relay UE or the relay UE and the remote UE served by the relay UE to the first cell.
The serving base station of the first cell needs to send the fourth indication information to the serving base station of the second cell (e.g., send the fourth indication information via a RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT REQUEST message). The fourth indication information is used for requesting to acquire the UE context of the relay UE or the relay UE and the remote UE. The fourth indication information at least includes: the relay UE is used for requesting UE identification information used when the Uu interface RRC connection is recovered. Optionally, the relay UE may also serve as identification information of the relay UE.
And if the second cell receives the fourth indication information, sending the UE CONTEXT (CONTEXT) of the relay UE or the relay UE and the remote UE to the first cell through an inter-base station interface, for example, the second cell may send the relay UE or the UE CONTEXT (CONTEXT) of the relay UE and the remote UE to the first cell through the inter-base station interface using a RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT RESPONSE message.
Step 607-608, the relay UE completes the RRC connection recovery in the first cell.
And the first cell sends an RRC connection recovery response to the relay UE, and the relay UE sends an RRC connection establishment message to the first cell.
Once the relay UE completes RRC connection recovery, the subsequent operations may refer to steps 502 and 503 shown in fig. 5.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the relay UE is changed from RRC _ CONNECTED to RRC _ INACTIVE. The RRC connection recovery message carries UE identification information used by the relay UE for requesting the recovery of the RRC connection of the Uu interface and UE identification information used by the remote UE for requesting the recovery of the relay connection. Suppose that the cell in which the relay UE currently resides is the first cell, and the serving cell before the relay UE enters RRC _ INACTIVE is the second cell. As shown in fig. 7, the method comprises the following steps:
step 701, the second cell notifies the relay UE to enter RRC _ INACTIVE.
Specifically, in this step, the second cell notifies the relay UE to enter RRC _ INACTIVE through an RRC message. The RRC message may be RRC release with suspendeconfig. Of course, other RRC messages may be implemented.
The RRC message at least comprises UE identification information used by the relay UE for requesting the recovery of the Uu interface RRC connection. Optionally, the UE identifier information used by the remote UE to request the relay connection recovery may also be carried.
Step 702, the relay UE sends the first indication information to the remote UE.
The first indication information content may include at least one of:
the relay UE is used for requesting UE identification information used when the Uu interface RRC connection is recovered;
indicating that the current state of the relay UE is an RRC _ INACTIVE state;
indicating a relay link interruption, the relay link being a link between the relay UE and a network device;
the remote UE is used for requesting UE identification information used when the relay connection is recovered;
instructing the remote UE to perform relay UE reselection.
Step 703, response message of the first indication message.
The response message is an optional message. If the first indication message requires a response, step 703 needs to be performed. Otherwise, step 703 may be skipped.
Step 704, the remote UE sends a second indication message to the relay UE.
And the second indication information is sent by the remote UE and is used for indicating that the remote UE has a relay requirement. Optionally, the second indication information may also carry UE identification information used by the remote UE when requesting the relay connection recovery or identification information of the remote UE in the second cell.
Step 705, the relay UE sends the third indication information to the first cell.
And the relay UE indicates information to the network through the current resident cell. The third indication information is used for requesting to recover RRC connection.

the relay UE is used as identification information of the relay UE;
the remote UE is used for requesting UE identification information used when the relay connection is recovered;
identification information of the remote UE in a second cell, where the second cell is a cell where the relay UE resides before entering an RRC _ INACTIVE state.
Step 706, the first cell requests the second cell for the UE context of the relay UE or the relay UE and the remote UE served by the relay UE, and the second cell sends the UE context of the relay UE or the relay UE and the remote UE served by the relay UE to the first cell.
The serving base station of the first cell needs to send the fourth indication information to the serving base station of the second cell through the inter-base station interface (for example, the fourth indication information is sent through a RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT REQUEST message). The fourth indication information is used for requesting to acquire the context of the relay UE or the relay UE and the remote UE.
The fourth indication information includes at least one of:
the relay UE is used for requesting UE identification information used when the Uu interface RRC connection is recovered;

the remote UE is used for requesting UE identification information used when the relay connection is recovered;
identification information of the remote UE in a second cell, where the second cell is a cell where the relay UE resides before entering an RRC _ INACTIVE state.
The reason why the identification information of the remote UE is carried is mainly because the relay UE enters the RRC _ INACTIVE state until the time of recovering, some remote UEs may not be served by the relay UE any more, and it is not necessary for these UEs to acquire their UE context any more.
And if the identification information of the target remote end UE stored in the second cell is not included in the fourth indication information, deleting the context of the target remote end UE, wherein the target remote end UE comprises the remote end UE which is stored in the second cell and has an association relationship with the relay UE.
That is, the second cell receives the fourth indication information, and then sends the UE CONTEXT of the relay UE and the remote UE to the first cell (for example, through a RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT RESPONSE message). The second cell may delete the UE context of the remote UE that was originally served by the relay UE but not included in the fourth indication information of the relay UE.
Step 707-.
And the first cell sends an RRC connection recovery response to the relay UE, and the relay UE sends an RRC connection establishment message to the first cell.
Once the relay UE completes RRC connection recovery, the subsequent operations may refer to steps 502 and 503 shown in fig. 5.

The first indication information content may include at least one of:
indicating that the current state of the relay UE is an RRC _ IDLE state;
indicating a relay link interruption, wherein the relay link is a relay link between the relay UE and a network device;
instructing the remote UE to perform relay UE reselection.
And after receiving the first indication information, the remote UE can execute the reselection of the relay UE.
Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, the relay UE is changed from RRC _ CONNECTED or RRC _ INACTIVE to offline. As shown in fig. 9, the method comprises the following steps:
step 901, the RRC connection between the relay UE and the network device is interrupted, and the relay UE becomes in the off-line state.
There are many reasons for the RRC connection interruption, such as the relay UE entering a blind area of network coverage.
Step 902, the relay UE sends the first indication information to the remote UE.
The first indication information content may include at least one of:
indicating that the current state of the relay UE is an offline state;
indicating a relay link interruption, wherein the relay link is a relay link between the relay UE and a network device;
instructing the remote UE to perform relay UE reselection.
