It is the terminal device that ultimately initiates the PDU session setup request.
In a first part, the architecture and background of the communication system of the solution disclosed in the present application are presented below.
For example, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a TSN communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. The TSN communication system includes a TSN and a 5G system.
The 5G system comprises at least one terminal device, a first network device and a second network device. The first Network device may be a 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) device, and the second Network device may be a core Network element, which may include these Network elements: the system comprises a user equipment (RAN), a user equipment (UPF) responsible for processing user messages (such as forwarding, charging, lawful interception and the like), an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) responsible for Mobility Management and connected with the terminal equipment and the RAN, a Session Management Function (SMF) responsible for Session Management and connected with the AMF and the UPF, a Policy Control Function (PCF) responsible for Policy Control and connected with the SMF, a Unified Data Management (UDM) for uniformly managing service Data, and an AF for providing the service Data.
The TSN may include an End Station (ES) and a Centralized Network Controller (CNC) for uniformly managing traffic of the whole TSN communication system. As shown in fig. 1, a terminal Device in the 5G system is connected to one or more TSN End Stations (ES) in a TSN Data Network (DN) outside the 5G system through a Device Side TSN converter (DS-TT). The UPF is connected to one or more ESs in the TSN DN through a network TSN converter (NW-TT). Both DS-TT and NW-TT can provide ports (ports) for data transmission.
It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the system architecture shown in fig. 1. For example, a communication system to which the information processing method of the embodiment of the present application may be applied may include more or fewer network elements or devices. The devices or network elements in fig. 1 may be hardware, or may be functionally divided software, or a combination of the two. The devices or network elements in fig. 1 may communicate with each other through other devices or network elements.
Currently, each Time Sensitive Communication (TSC) service of a TSN Communication system requires a port provided by each of DS-TT and NW-TT to participate in data transmission of the TSC service. Before the TSC service is executed, two ports participating in data transmission (namely a port provided by a DS-TT and a port provided by a NW-TT) must realize accurate time synchronization with a clock of a 5G system, and the TSC service carries out data communication according to specified time strictly on the basis of completing the synchronization; this time refers to the time of the TSN Domain. The terminal device needs to perform strict clock synchronization with the network, for example, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of 5G-enabled TSN clock synchronization provided in this embodiment of the present application. When a TSN end station is connected to a UPF (Universal Time Fidelity) terminal equipment UE1 and gNB and a core network element establish a PDU (Protocol data Unit) session, a TSN master clock sends a high-Precision clock synchronization Protocol (gPTP) to the UE1 after a delay of T _1, clock information is set to be T _ gm, the UE1 records gPTP arrival Time T _ i by using a 5G internal clock after the gPTP arrives, then sends gPTP information to the gNB through an uplink air interface, the gNB transmits the gPTP to the UPF, the UPF receives the gPTP information and sends the gPTP information to the TSN end station after a delay of T _2, and records that the Time of gPTP leaving a 5G system is T _ e by using the 5G internal clock, so that the clock of the TSN end station is updated to be T _ gm + T _ 1T \ T2T \ + T \ _2T _. When a TSN end station is connected with a terminal device, a PDU session is established between the terminal device UE1 and a gNB and a core network element, a TSN master clock transmits gPTP to the UE1 after experiencing delay T _1, clock information is set to be T _ gm, the UE1 records gPTP arrival time T _ i by using a 5G internal clock after gPTP arrives, then gPTP information is transmitted to the gNB through an uplink air interface, the gNB transmits the gPTP to the UE2, the UE2 receives the gPTP information and transmits the gPTP information to the TSN end station after experiencing delay T _2, and the 5G internal clock records that the gPTP leaves a 5G system as T _ e, so that the clock of the TSN end station is updated to be T _ gm + T _1+ T \/2 \/T \/e-T _ i. Thus, when multiple terminal devices are connected to the same TSN master clock, multiple terminal devices may initiate a PDU session setup request to the network device to provide clock synchronization services, where one terminal device provides synchronization services for the TSN master clock. However, according to the existing protocol, the network device cannot distinguish whether the plurality of terminal devices are connected to the same TSN master clock, and after the terminal device currently providing the synchronization service for the TSN master clock leaves the network, the network device cannot find a suitable terminal device to continue providing the synchronization service for the TSN master clock.
In view of the foregoing problems, the present application provides an information processing method and apparatus, where a first network device acquires a first message, where the first message includes at least one of the following: a TSN master clock number and a downlink reference signal measurement result of a clock sensitive network connected with the terminal equipment; the first network equipment sends a second message to target terminal equipment, wherein the second message is used for indicating the target terminal equipment to provide clock synchronization service for the TSN end station. The first network device can identify terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock according to the TSN master clock number transmitted by at least one terminal device, and can determine a terminal device providing clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock based on the first message.
In the second section, the scope of protection of the claims disclosed in the embodiments of the present application is described below.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method may be applied to the communication system shown in fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:
s310, the terminal device sends a first message to the first network device, wherein the first message comprises at least one of the following: the method comprises the steps of a clock sensitive network TSN main clock number connected with terminal equipment and a downlink reference signal measuring result.
The first message may be Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, MAC Control Element (MAC CE) signaling, or broadcast message. The RRC signaling may include, but is not limited to, any one of an RRC Release message, an RRC connection reconfiguration message, an RRC connection request message, an RRC connection setup message, an RRC connection resume message, or other RRC message.
Further, the downlink reference signal measurement result may be a downlink reference signal measurement result obtained by the terminal device based on downlink reference information sent by the network device corresponding to the current serving cell or the network device corresponding to the neighboring cell. The downlink reference Signal may be a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) and/or a Channel State Information reference Signal (CSI-RS) broadcast by the network device, and the downlink reference Signal measurement result may include at least one of: cell (cell) Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), cell Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), cell Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), cell Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), SSB RSRP, SSB RSRQ, SSB SINR, SSB RSSI, CSI-RS RSRP, CSI-RS RSPQ, CSI-RS SINR, and CSI-RSSI RS.
In this embodiment, the terminal device sends the TSN master clock number to which it is connected to the first network device, so that the first network device and/or the second network device can identify whether multiple terminal devices in the communication system are connected to the same TSN master clock.
The first message is used for determining a target terminal device providing clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock, and the at least one terminal device comprises the target terminal device.
When a plurality of terminal devices are connected to the same TSN master clock, one of the terminal devices provides clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock. When the clock synchronization service provided for the TSN master clock is off-network or a terminal device is on-network, the plurality of terminal devices may send a first message to the first network device to help the first network device or the second network device select a suitable terminal device to provide the clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock.
S320, the first network equipment acquires the first message.
In one possible embodiment, the first network device determines the target terminal device based on the first message.
In this embodiment, in the coverage area of the first network device, the first network device may be connected to at least one terminal device, and the at least one terminal device may be connected to the same TSN master clock or may be connected to different TSN master clocks. Therefore, the first network device may obtain a first message of at least one terminal device, distinguish whether the at least one terminal device is connected to the same TSN master clock according to the first message, and select, from the at least one terminal device connected to the same TSN master clock, a terminal device with a best downlink reference signal measurement result or one of the terminal devices with a downlink reference signal measurement result higher than a given threshold as a target terminal device to provide a clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock.
Specifically, the first network device distinguishes terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock from at least one terminal device according to the serial number of the TSN master clock connected to the terminal device, and then uses the terminal device with the best wireless signal quality in the downlink reference signal measurement result of the terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock, or one of the terminal devices with the downlink reference signal measurement result higher than a given threshold as the terminal device providing clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock. For example, the first message sent by the terminal device 1 includes: the number of the connected TSN master clock is 0, and the current serving cell CSI-RS RSRP measurement result is-85 dBm, and the first message sent by the terminal device 2 includes: the number of the connected TSN master clock is 0, the current service cell CSI-RS RSRP measurement result is-70 dBm, and the first network device selects the terminal device 2 as the terminal device providing clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock because the CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 2 is larger than that of the terminal device 1.
In a possible embodiment, the method further comprises: and the terminal equipment sends the uplink reference signal to the first network equipment. Correspondingly, the first network equipment receives the uplink reference signal from at least one terminal equipment.
Specifically, the first network device sends different uplink reference signal configuration information to at least one terminal device, and each terminal device sends an uplink reference signal to the first network device after receiving corresponding uplink reference signal configuration information, where the uplink reference signal configuration information may include an uplink reference signal resource set, an uplink reference signal sending period, used spatial relationship information, and the like. Further, the uplink reference signal configuration information may further include transmission activation information of the uplink reference signal. In some examples, the transmission activation information of the uplink reference signal may also be transmitted to the terminal device through a separate signaling. After receiving the uplink reference signal configuration information, the terminal device may periodically send an uplink reference signal to the first network device according to the uplink reference signal sending period. The first network device receiving the uplink reference signal measures the uplink reference signal sent by each terminal device respectively to obtain the uplink reference signal measurement result of each terminal device and the first network device.
The uplink Reference Signal may be a channel Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). The uplink reference signal measurement result may include at least one of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, RSSI, SRS RSRP, SRS RSRQ, SRS SINR, SRS RSSI.
In some examples, when only the TSN master clock number to which the terminal device is connected is included in the first message, the terminal device may further send the measured downlink reference signal measurement result to the first network device to help the first network device determine the target terminal device.
In other examples, when the first message only includes a TSN master clock number connected to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the uplink reference signal configuration information sent by the first network device, the terminal device may measure the uplink reference signal to the first network device, and the first network device that receives the uplink reference signal respectively performs measurement to obtain uplink reference signal measurement results of each terminal device and the first network device.
In other examples, when the first message only includes a TSN master clock number connected to the terminal device, the terminal device may send a downlink reference signal measurement result to the first network device, and after the terminal device receives uplink reference signal configuration information sent by the first network device, the terminal device may also send an uplink reference signal to the first network device, and the first network devices that receive the uplink reference signal respectively perform measurement to obtain uplink reference signal measurement results of each terminal device and the first network device.
In one possible embodiment, the determining, by the first network device, the target terminal device according to the first message includes: the first network device determines the target terminal device based on the TSN master clock number and a first measurement result, wherein the first measurement result includes at least one of a measurement result based on an uplink reference signal and a measurement result based on the downlink reference signal, and the measurement result of the uplink reference signal is obtained based on the measurement of the uplink reference signal.
The first message comprises a TSN master clock number and a downlink reference signal measurement result which are connected with the terminal equipment; or, the first message only includes a TSN master clock number to which the terminal device is connected, and when the terminal device sends the downlink reference signal measurement result to the first network device, the first network device may determine the target terminal device according to the TSN master clock number and the downlink reference signal measurement result.
Specifically, the first network device distinguishes terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock from at least one terminal device according to the TSN master clock number connected to the terminal device, and then uses, as a target terminal device, a terminal device corresponding to the best radio signal quality in the downlink reference signal measurement results of the terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock, or one of the terminal devices whose downlink reference signal measurement results are higher than a given threshold. For example, the first message sent by the terminal device 1 includes: the number of the connected TSN master clock is 0, the downlink reference signal measurement result carries the current serving cell CSI-RS RSRP measurement result-85 dBm, and the first message sent by the terminal device 2 includes: the number of the connected TSN master clock is 0, the downlink reference signal measurement result carries the current service cell CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of-70 dBm, and the first network device selects the terminal device 2 as the terminal device providing the clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock because the CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 2 is larger than the CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 1.
The first message only includes a TSN master clock number connected to the terminal device, and when the first network device receives the uplink reference signal, the first network device may measure the received uplink reference signal to obtain an uplink reference signal measurement result. And the first network equipment determines the target terminal equipment according to the TSN master clock number and the uplink reference signal measurement result.
Specifically, the first network device distinguishes terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock from at least one terminal device according to the TSN master clock number connected to the terminal device, and then uses, as a target terminal device, a terminal device corresponding to the best radio signal quality in the uplink reference signal measurement result of the terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock, or one of a plurality of terminal devices whose downlink reference signal measurement result is higher than a given threshold. For example, the first message sent by the terminal device 1 includes the number 0 of the connected TSN master clock, and the first message sent by the terminal device 2 includes the number 0 of the connected TSN master clock. The first network device configures different SRS configuration information for terminal device 1 and terminal device 2, and after receiving the SRS configuration information, terminal device 1 and terminal device 2 respectively send SRS to the first network device. The first network device measures the SRS received from the terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2, respectively, and obtains an SRS RSRP measurement result of-85 dBm for the terminal device 1 and an SRS RSRP measurement result of-70 dBm for the terminal device 2. Since the CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 2 is greater than the CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 1, the first network device selects the terminal device 2 as a terminal device that provides a clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock.
The first message comprises a TSN master clock number connected with the terminal equipment and a downlink reference signal measurement result, and the first network equipment receives an uplink reference signal; or, the first message only includes a TSN master clock number connected to the terminal device, and when the first network device receives the downlink reference signal measurement result and the uplink reference signal, the first network device measures the received uplink reference signal to obtain the uplink reference signal measurement result. And the first network equipment determines the target terminal equipment according to the TSN master clock number, the uplink reference signal measurement result and the downlink reference signal measurement result.
Specifically, the first network device distinguishes terminal devices connected to the same TSN master clock from at least one terminal device according to the TSN master clock number connected to the terminal device, and then takes the terminal device corresponding to the best radio signal quality in the uplink reference signal measurement result and the downlink reference signal measurement result of the terminal device connected to the same TSN master clock or one of the terminal devices whose downlink reference signal measurement result is higher than a given threshold as a target terminal device. For example, the first message sent by the terminal device 1 includes the number 0 of the connected TSN master clock, and the first message sent by the terminal device 2 includes the number 0 of the connected TSN master clock. The first network device configures different SRS configuration information for the terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2 respectively, and after receiving the SRS configuration information, the terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2 respectively send a downlink reference signal measurement result and an SRS to the first network device, wherein the current serving cell CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 1 is-85 dBm, and the current serving cell CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 2 is-70 dBm. The first network device measures the SRS received from the terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2, respectively, and obtains an SRS RSRP measurement result of-80 dBm for the terminal device 1 and an SRS RSRP measurement result of-75 dBm for the terminal device 2. Since the CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 2 is greater than the CSI-RS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 1, and the SRS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 2 is greater than the SRS RSRP measurement result of the terminal device 1, the first network device selects the terminal device 2 as a terminal device that provides a clock synchronization service for the TSN master clock.
S330, the first network equipment sends a second message to the terminal equipment, and the second message is used for indicating the target terminal equipment to provide clock synchronization service for the TSN terminal station.
Wherein the second message is used for instructing the target terminal device to provide a clock synchronization service for the TSN end station, and includes:
and indicating the target terminal equipment to request to establish a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session with the TSN end station and/or the 5G network element on the path.
