Description

介质访问控制层实体的处理方法、 用户设备以及通信系统 技术领域 本发明涉及一种通信领域, 特别涉及一种介质访问控制 (MAC, Media Access Control) 层实体的处理方法、 用户设备以及通信系统。 背景技术
在 LTE-A系统中, 用户设备 (也可称为终端) 主要通过空中接口与基站进行通 信。 空中接口协议分为控制平面和数据平面。其中, 控制平面主要用来生成和传输空 口的控制信息; 而用户平面则主要用来传输用户数据。
图 1是用户设备与基站间的控制平面协议结构的一示意图,图 2是用户设备与基 站间的用户平面协议结构的一示意图。如图 1和图 2所示, 无论是用户平面还是控制 平面, 用户设备侧都有相应的 MAC层。 实际上, 在设备的具体实现中, MAC层是 用户平面和控制平面共享的。
图 3是用户设备侧的 MAC层结构的一示意图。 如图 3所示, 最右侧的控制模块 控制 MAC层中其他所有实体。 右下侧的随机接入控制 (Random Access Control) 模 块对随机接入过程进行控制。左下侧的混合自动重传请求(HARQ, Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request)模块完成上下行的 HARQ操作。中部的(解)复用((De-) Multiplexing) 模块是双向通道,在下行链路中完成对 MAC协议数据单元(PDU, Protocol Data Unit) 的解复用, 解复用完成后将相关的数据传输给相应的下行 CCCH信道、 下行 DCCH 信道和下行 DTCH信道, 上行链路中则对上行 CCCH信道、 上行 DCCH信道和上行 DTCH信道来的数据和 MAC层控制信元进行复用, 生成 MAC PDU。 而最左侧的解 复用 (De Multiplexing) 模块则只针对下行链路, 对 MCH传来的数据进行解复用, 并分别传输到 MCCH和 MTCH信道。 最上面的逻辑信道优先处理 (Logical Channel Prioritization) 模块则只针对上行信道, 根据一定优先级准侧, 对来自不同逻辑信道 的数据和 MAC层控制信元采用不用优先级进行处理。
在现有的 LTE-A CA系统中, 对 MAC层的主要操作有两个: 重配和重置。 在重 配过程中, MAC层的相关配置被增加、 修改或删除。 其中, 在重配过程中, 如果有 辅小区增加时, MAC层需要初始化相应的 HARQ实体, 这是因为每个辅小区需要不 同的 HARQ实体。 而当辅小区被移走时, 相应的 HARQ实体也应该被移走, 这是因 为如果这个 HARQ实体不移走, 会占用用户设备的资源。 在 MAC层的重置过程中, 会有 MAC层的计时器被停止, 所有相关的过程被取消等操作, 主要目的是让 MAC 层的配置处于一个初始的能够被大家共知的状态。 但是, 在重置过程中, 并没有对 MAC层中的其他实体采取像对 HARQ实体那样, 有初始化或移走的操作; 即, 对这 些 MAC层中除 HARQ实体之外的实体,在 MAC层进行重置之后仍然存在。从 MAC 层的整体来看, 在 MAC层进行重置之后, 整个的 MAC实体仍然存在。
LTE-A系统中, 用户设备有两个状态: 连接状态和空闲状态。 在连接状态下, 用 户设备可以与网络侧之间交流专用数据; 而在空闲状态下, 则用户设备只能从网络侧 接收广播或多播数据。从空闲状态转到连接状态, 网络侧需要给用户设备配置很多专 用无线资源, 用户设备本身也需要为连接状态配置专有资源, 比如建立相关实体和启 动相关的计时器, 而反之从连接状态转向空闲状态, 所有这些专用的无线资源和用户 设备处的专有资源则需要释放。
在 [非专利文献 1]中, 规定了离开连接状态时的用户设备动作, 包括: 重置 MAC 实体; 停止所有正在运行的除 T320, T325和 T330之外的计时器; 释放所有的无线资 源, 包括释放所有已经建立无线承载的无线链路控制 (RLC, Radio Link Control) 实 体, MAC配置和相关联的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP, Packet Data Converge Protocol) 实体等等。 可以看出在用户设备离开连接状态时, MAC层中除 HARQ实体之外的其 他实体并没有被释放或移走。
另一方面, 在目前的 LTE-A系统中, 主要部署了宏小区 (Macro Cell)。 未来随 着业务量的增加,为了进行系统负载分流或扩展覆盖,可能要继续部署小小区(例如, 微小区 Micro Cell或 Pico Cell, 微微小区 Femto Cell, 远端无线头 RRH等等)。 小小 区的覆盖面积比较小, 但是数量比较多。
但是, 发明人发现如果只是简单地进行小小区的部署, 不进行控制方面的优化, 就会造成切换次数多, 掉话率增加, 控制信令负担增加等很多方面的问题。 并且, 如 果按照现有的协议规定, 不会对任何一个 MAC实体进行删除或移除。对于存在不止 一个通路时, MAC实体如何进行建立或者删除, 现有技术中没有进行研究。 因此, 不能保证在优化控制的基础上减少用户设备资源的浪费,不能进一步有效地提高用户 设备的处理能力。 应该注意, 上面对技术背景的介绍只是为了方便对本发明的技术方案进行清楚、 完整的说明, 并方便本领域技术人员的理解而阐述的。不能仅仅因为这些方案在本发 明的背景技术部分进行了阐述而认为上述技术方案为本领域技术人员所公知。

参照附图, 通过下面的说明书, 本发明的前述以及其它特征将变得明显。 在说明 书和附图中, 具体公开了本发明的特定实施方式, 其表明了其中可以采用本发明的原 则的部分实施方式, 应了解的是, 本发明不限于所描述的实施方式, 相反, 本发明包 括落入所附权利要求的范围内的全部修改、 变型以及等同物。
在标准组织中, 为了解决宏小区和小小区共存时存在的多个问题, 提出了双连通 (Dual Connectivity) 结构。 在双连通结构下, 用户设备 (或者也可称为终端) 可以 与网络侧同时建立两个或多个通路 ( connectivity )。 典型的, 一个通路在用户设备与 宏小区基站之间, 另一个在用户设备与小小区基站之间, 这里可以分别称为第一通路 (例如宏通路) 与第二通路 (例如小通路)。
一般来讲, 相对于小通路, 宏通路会有更强大的功能, 可以有更多的控制功能。 例如控制平面的无线资源控制功能可以只存在于宏通路,或者宏通路中的无线资源控 制功能除了控制宏通路之外, 还有小通路的部分无线资源控制功能; 或者承载更多地 信道, 例如宏通路可以承载广播信道、 寻呼信道等; 或者承载更多种类的无线承载, 例如宏通路上可以承载信号无线承载和数据无线承载。而小通路上可以只承载数据无 线承载。
值得注意的是, 本发明的第一通路并不限于在用户设备与宏小区基站之间、第二 通路也不限于在用户设备与小小区基站之间。例如, 第一通路也可以存在于用户设备 与小小区基站之间、第二通路可以存在于用户设备与宏小区基站之间;在这种场景下, 用户设备与小小区基站之间的第一通路的功能可以强于用户设备与宏小区基站之间 的第二通路的功能。本发明并不限于此, 以下仅以第一通路在用户设备与宏小区基站 之间、 第二通路在用户设备与小小区基站之间为例, 对本发明进行详细说明。 此外, 在具体实现时, 用户设备与网络之间可能存在 3条或更多条通路, 这个时候, 仅有一 条通路为第一通路,其他通路都为第二通路。本发明内容同样适用于多条通路的情况。
在每个通路内, 会有多个层 (例如, 物理层、 MAC层、 RLC层等) 来完成控制 面的功能(主要涉及空口控制信令的生成和传输)和用户面的功能(主要涉及空口用 户数据的传输)。 为了实现双连通结构, 空口的协议栈结构有多种选择。 由于用户平 面和控制平面可以用同样的思路来进行多种协议栈结构的分析,下面以用户平面来举 例说明。
图 4 是上行链路用户设备侧的用户平面协议栈的一种结构示意图, 示出了从 PDCP层分开的情况。 如图 4所示, 在两个通路中都有分布式的 PDCP层、 RLC层、 MAC层和 PHY层。
图 5 是上行链路用户设备侧的用户平面协议栈的另一种结构示意图, 示出了从
RLC层分开的情况。如图 5所示,在两个通路中都有分布式的 RLC层、 MAC层和 PHY 层。 但是, 在用户设备中有集中式的 PDCP层, PDCP层与两个通路中的 RLC层都 有联系。
图 6 是上行链路用户设备侧的用户平面协议栈的另一种结构示意图, 示出了从 MAC层分开的情况。 如图 6所示, 在两个通路中都有分布式的 MAC和 PHY层。但 是, 在用户设备中有集中式的 PDCP层和 RLC层, RLC层与两个通路中的 MAC层 都有联系。
图 7 是上行链路用户设备侧的用户平面协议栈的另一种结构示意图, 示出了从 PHY层分开的情况。 如图 7所示, 在两个通路中都有分布式的 PHY层; 但是, 在用 户设备中有集中式的 PDCP层、 RLC层和 MAC层。
如图 4至 6所示,图 4至图 6中都有两个 MAC层实体,其中一个是在宏通路中, 一个在小通路中。如果一个用户设备与网络侧之间建立了这种双连通结构, 那么用户 设备在离开连接状态或者释放第二通路时, 按照现有的协议规定不会对任何一个 MAC实体进行删除或移除。 在用户设备转换为空闲状态时要维护两个 MAC实体, 这显然浪费了资源, 需要加以避免。 实施例 1
本发明实施例提供一种 MAC层实体的处理方法。 图 8是本发明实施例的处理方 法的一流程示意图, 如图 8所示, 所述方法包括:
步骤 801, 用户设备为第二通路建立相应的 MAC层实体, 使得该用户设备与网 络侧之间具有双通路;该双通路包括第一通路和功能弱于第一通路的第二通路;其中, 第二通路的 MAC层实体至少包括: 复用或解复用模块以及逻辑信道优先处理模块。
在一个实施方式中,第二通路的 MAC层实体还包括控制模块。第二通路的 MAC 层实体与第一通路的 MAC层实体分别独立使用控制模块进行控制, 由此形成完全独 立的分布式 MAC结构。
在本实施方式中, 两个通路中的 MAC层实体完全独立, 即每个 MAC层实体都 有自己独立的控制模块。 例如, 第一通路 (宏通路) 的 MAC层实体可以采用现有协 议的结构 (例如图 3所示的结构); 而第二通路 (小通路) 的 MAC层实体可以采用 如图 9所示的结构。
图 9是本发明实施例的第二通路的 MAC层实体的一结构示意图。 如图 9所示, (解) 复用模块、 逻辑信道优先处理模块都在第二通路 MAC层中的控制模块的控制 下, 操作独立于第一通路的 MAC层。
此外, 第二通路的 MAC层实体还可以包括: 随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模 块。 如图 9所示, HA Q模块和随机接入控制模块也在第二通路 MAC层中的控制模 块的控制下, 操作独立于第一通路的 MAC层。
值得注意的是, 本发明不限于此, 第二通路的 MAC层实体还可以有其他实施方 式。 在本实施方式中, 第二通路的 MAC层实体至少包括控制模块、 (解) 复用模块 和逻辑信道优先处理模块。 至于这些模块的具体结构或实现, 可以参考现有技术。
在另一实施方式中, 第二通路的 MAC层实体与第一通路的 MAC层实体使用共 同的控制模块进行控制, 由此形成半独立的分布式 MAC结构。
在本实施方式中, 两个通路中的 MAC层实体可以在同一个控制模块控制下。 这 样, 控制模块将控制两个 (解) 复用模块 (每个通路各对应一个)、 两个逻辑信道优 先处理模块 (每个通路各对应一个)。
此外, 如果第二通路有对应的物理信道, 则这个 MAC层实体中还会有第二通路 对应的随机接入控制模块和第二通路对应的 HARQ模块。 同时, 控制模块也控制第 二通路对应的随机接入控制模块和第二通路对应的 HARQ模块。
在本实施方式中, 第二通路的 MAC层实体至少包括 (解) 复用模块和逻辑信道 优先处理模块。 第二通路对应的 (解)复用模块、 逻辑信道优先处理模块、 随机接入 控制模块和 HARQ模块也按照一定的结构进行连通。 例如, 可以按照图 9中的结构 进行控制。
由此, 通过在双通路结构下合理建立 MAC层实体, 可以有效地管理用户设备资 源。
图 10是本发明实施例的处理方法的另一流程示意图, 如图 10所示, 所述方法包 括:
步骤 1001, 用户设备为第二通路建立相应的 MAC层实体, 使得该用户设备与网 络侧之间具有双通路; 该双通路包括第一通路和功能弱于第一通路的第二通路。
步骤 1002, 用户设备释放第二通路的 MAC层实体。
在本实施例中, 如果用户设备与网络侧之间有双连通结构, 那么用户设备在接收 到释放第二通路的指令、 或者该用户设备要离开连接状态时, 释放第二通路的 MAC 层实体。 但本发明释放第二通路的 MAC层实体的条件不限于此, 还可以是其他释放 条件。
在一个实施方式中, 用户设备先释放第二通路; 然后进行离开连接状态的操作, 可以按照现有协议规定进行离开连接状态的操作。 其中, 在释放第二通路的过程中, 可以包括: 释放第二通路的 MAC层实体, 停止第二通路相关的计时器, 释放第二通 路相关的所有无线资源配置。
在具体实施释放第二通路的 MAC层实体时, 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采用 的是完全独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即包含独立的控制模块, 则在释放第二条通路的 MAC层实体时, 至少释放第二通路 MAC层实体的控制模块、 (解) 复用模块、 逻辑 信道优先处理模块。 如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则也将随机接 入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。
在具体协议实现释放第二通路时, 可以在 "释放第二通路"的过程中规定, 释放 第二通路的 MAC层实体, 停止第二通路相关的除去空闲状态下应该运行的所有计时 器, 释放第二通路相关的所有无线资源配置, 包括释放第二条通路中所有已经建立无 线承载的 RLC层实体和相关联的 PDCP层实体。 这里, 停止相关计时器和释放相关 实体 (MAC层实体, RLC层实体, PDCP层实体) 的时间顺序不仅限于上文表述的 先后顺序, 在实际实现时可以根据具体情况进行调整。
这样, 在用户设备接收到基站的连接释放消息时、或者用户设备高层要求释放连 接时、 或者用户设备在切换出演进通用陆地无线接入 (E-UT A, Evolved Universal
Terrestrial Radio Access) 系统时、 或者接收到要求离开连接状态的其他命令时, 判断 该用户设备是否有双连通结构。 如果有双连通结构, 则先释放第二通路, 然后再按照 现有协议规定进行离开连接状态下的操作, 包括: 重置第一通路的 MAC层实体, 停 止所有正在运行的除 T320, T325和 T330之外的计时器; 释放第一通路所有的无线资 源, 包括释放所有已经建立无线承载的 RLC层实体, MAC层配置和相关联的 PDCP 层实体。 以及, 通知高层 RRC连接已经释放并通知原因, 如果离开 RRC连接状态的 原因既不是由于接收到 "从 E-UT A移动出命令" , 也不是由于计时器 T311正在运 行时选择了一个跨无线接入技术 (RAT, Radio Access Technology) 小区, 那么该用 户设备就进入空闲状态, 并按照相关协议进行相关操作。
在具体实施释放第二通路的 MAC层实体时, 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采用 的是半独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即与第一通路的 MAC层实体共用控制模块, 则在 释放第二通路的过程中, 释放第二通路中相关的 MAC层实体, 至少释放 (解) 复用 模块和逻辑信道优先处理模块。 如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则 也将随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。
具体协议实现释放第二通路时, 可以在 "MAC重配"过程中规定, 当释放一个 通路时, 用户设备就给被释放的通路至少释放对应的(解)复用模块和逻辑信道优先 处理模块。 然后再在 "释放第二通路"的过程中规定, 停止第二通路相关的除去空闲 状态下应该运行的所有计时器, 释放第二通路相关的所有无线资源配置, 包括: 释放 第二条通路中所有已经建立无线承载的 RLC层实体和相关联的 PDCP层实体。这里, 停止相关计时器和释放相关实体 (MAC层实体, RLC层实体, PDCP层实体) 的时 间顺序不仅限于上文表述的先后顺序, 在实际实现时可以根据具体情况进行调整。
这样, 在用户设备接收到基站的连接释放消息时、或者用户设备高层要求释放连 接时、或者用户设备在切换出 E-UT A系统时、或者接收到其他要求离开连接态的命 令时, 判断该用户设备是否有双连通结构。 如果有双连通结构, 则先释放第二通路, 然后再按照现有协议规定进行离开连接状态下的操作, 包括: 重置第一通路的 MAC 层实体, 停止所有正在运行的除 T320, T325和 T330之外的计时器; 释放第一通路所 有的无线资源, 包括释放所有已经建立无线承载的 RLC层实体, MAC层配置和相关 联的 PDCP层实体等等; 通知高层 RRC连接已经释放并通知原因, 如果离开 RRC连 接状态的原因既不是由于接收到 "从 E-UTRA移动出命令" ,也不是由于计时器 T311 正在运行时选择了一个跨 RAT小区, 那么该用户设备就进入空闲状态, 并按照相关 协议进行相关操作。
在另一个实施方式中,用户设备可以同时释放第二通路和进行离开连接状态的操 作。 在具体实施释放第二通路的 MAC层实体时, 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采用 的是完全独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即包含独立的控制模块, 则用户设备需要释放第 二通路对应的 MAC层实体,包括至少释放第二通路的 MAC层实体的控制模块、(解) 复用模块、逻辑信道优先处理模块。如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则也将随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采用 的是半独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即与第一通路的 MAC层实体共用控制模块, 则用 户设备需要释放第二通路对应的 MAC层实体, 例如: (解) 复用模块和逻辑信道优 先处理模块。 如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则也将随机接入控制 模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。
在具体协议实现本实施方式时, 可以在现有的 "终端离开连接的动作"过程的开 始部分先进行判断, 判断是否具有双连通结构。 如果有双连通结构, 则释放第二通路 对应的 MAC层实体,然后同时进行释放第二通路的剩余操作和离开连接状态的操作, 包括: 对第一通路对应的 MAC层实体进行重置, 然后, 同时停止两个通路对应的、 除去在空闲态下应该运行的计时器之外的所有计时器,以及释放两个通路相关的所有 无线资源。 两个通路相关的所有无线资源包括: 第一通路的 MAC层配置, 两个通路 中已经建立无线承载的 RLC层实体和相关联的 PDCP层实体。 然后, 进行离开连接 状态时的后续动作。 这里, 停止相关计时器和释放相关无线资源 (例如, MAC层配 置, RLC层实体, PDCP层实体等) 的时间顺序不仅限于上文表述的先后顺序, 在实 际实现时可以根据具体情况进行调整。
这样, 在用户设备接收到基站的连接释放消息时、或者用户设备高层要求释放连 接时、或者用户设备在切换出 E-UT A系统时、或者接收到其他要求离开连接态的命 令时, 判断该用户设备是否有双连通结构。 如果有双连通结构, 则释放第二通路对应 的 MAC层实体, 然后, 对第一通路对应的 MAC层实体进行重置, 然后, 同时停止 两个通路对应的、 除去在空闲态下应该运行的计时器之外的所有计时器, 以及释放两 个通路相关的所有无线资源。 两个通路相关的所有无线资源包括: 第一通路的 MAC 层配置, 两个通路中已经建立无线承载的 RLC层实体和相关联的 PDCP层实体。 然 后, 通知高层 RRC连接已经释放并通知原因, 如果离开 RRC连接状态的原因既不是 由于接收到 "从 E-UTRA移动出命令" , 也不是由于计时器 T311正在运行时选择了 一个跨 RAT小区, 那么该用户设备就进入空闲状态, 并按照相关协议进行相关操作。 在另一个实施方式中, 用户设备在接收到释放第二条通路的指令时, 释放第二条 通路的 MAC层实体。 其中, 该释放第二条通路的指令可以来自基站, 也可以来自用 户设备的内部, 例如, 由于用户设备其他操作引起的对第二条通路的释放。
在具体实施时, 该方法还可以包括: 停止第二通路相关的计时器, 释放第二通路 相关的所有无线资源, 包括释放第二条通路中所有已经建立无线承载的 RLC层实体 和相关联的 PDCP层实体。 这里, 停止相关计时器和释放相关实体 (例如, MAC层 实体, RLC层实体, PDCP层实体等) 的时间顺序不仅限于上文表述的先后顺序, 在 实际实现时可以根据具体情况进行调整。
在具体实施释放第二通路的 MAC层实体时, 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采用 的是完全独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即包含独立的控制模块, 则用户设备需要释放第 二通路对应的 MAC层实体, 包括至少释放第二通路 MAC层实体的控制模块、 (解) 复用模块、逻辑信道优先处理模块。如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则也将随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采用 的是半独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即与第一通路的 MAC层实体共用控制模块, 则用 户设备需要释放第二通路对应的 MAC层实体, 例如: (解) 复用模块和逻辑信道优 先处理模块。 如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则也将随机接入控制 模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。
由上述实施例可知, 通过在双通路结构下, 合理建立或者释放第二通路对应的 MAC层实体, 可以有效地管理用户设备资源, 在优化控制的基础上减少资源的浪费。 实施例 2

在具体实施时, 该方法还可以包括: 通知高层 RRC连接已经释放并通知原因; 以及如果离开 RRC连接状态的原因既不是由于接收到从 E-UT A移动出的命令、 也 不是由于计时器 T311正在运行时选择了一个跨 RAT小区,则该用户设备进入空闲状 态。
具体地, 步骤 1201 中用户设备离开连接状态, 可以包括: 用户设备接收到基站 的连接释放消息、 或者用户设备的高层要求释放连接、 或者用户设备切换出 E-UTRA 系统、 或者用户设备接收到要求离开连接状态的其他命令。

步骤 1401, 用户设备接收释放第二条通路的指令;
其中, 该指令可以来自基站, 也可以来自用户设备的内部, 例如, 由于用户设备 其他操作引起的对第二条通路的释放。
步骤 1402, 用户设备释放第二条通路的 MAC层实体。
在具体实施时, 该方法还可以包括: 停止第二通路相关的所有计时器, 释放第二 通路相关的所有无线资源, 包括释放第二条通路中所有已经建立无线承载的 RLC层 实体和相关联的 PDCP层实体。这里, 停止相关计时器和释放相关实体(例如, MAC 层实体, RLC层实体, PDCP层实体等) 的时间顺序不仅限于上文表述的先后顺序, 在实际实现时可以根据具体情况进行调整。
在具体实施释放第二条通路的 MAC层实体时, 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采 用的是完全独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即包含独立的控制模块, 则用户设备需要释放 第二通路对应的 MAC层实体,包括至少释放第二通路 MAC层实体的控制模块、(解) 复用模块、逻辑信道优先处理模块。如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则也将随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。 如果第二通路的 MAC层实体采用 的是半独立的分布式 MAC结构, 即与第一通路的 MAC层实体共用控制模块, 则用 户设备需要释放第二通路对应的 MAC层实体, 例如: (解) 复用模块和逻辑信道优 先处理模块。 如果还包括随机接入控制模块和 /或 HARQ模块、 则也将随机接入控制 模块和 /或 HARQ模块释放。
在本实施方式中, 如果用户设备还接收到离开连接状态的指令, 那么还可以引起 释放第二条通路的动作。而释放第二条通路的动作和离开连接状态的动作有可以有两 种实现方式: 先释放第二通路再执行现有协议规定的离开连接状态的动作; 或者先释 放第二通路的 MAC层实体再执行离开连接状态的动作。 具体实现可以参考附图 12 和 13所示的两种实施方式。
