Description

Resource allocation method, device and system

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a resource configuration method, apparatus, and system. Background technique

In the current Enhanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system, a macro cell is mainly deployed. In the future, as the traffic volume increases, in order to perform load splitting or extended coverage, small cells may continue to be deployed. Since the coverage area of small cells is relatively small and the number is large, if only simple deployment of small cells is performed, Without control optimization, there will be many problems such as many switching times, increased call drop rate, and increased control signaling burden. Therefore, in the standard organization, in order to solve these problems, a new network protocol structure is proposed: Dual connectivity.

In a dual-connected architecture, a terminal can establish two or more connections simultaneously with the network: one primary connection (MConnectivity) and one or more secondary connections (SConnectivity). The primary connection is between the terminal and the primary base station (MeNB: Master eNB), and the secondary connection is between the terminal and the secondary base station (SeNB: Secondary eNB). Typically, the primary base station is generally a macro cell base station, and the secondary base station is generally a small cell base station. Of course, the primary base station may also be a small cell base station, and the secondary base station may also be a macro cell base station. In general, the primary connection carries more functions than the secondary connection. For example, the primary connection can carry paging services and broadcast services, but secondary connections may not carry these services. As another example, the primary connection can carry signaling and data, while the secondary connection may only carry data traffic.

Within each connection, there are multiple sub-layers that perform the functions of the control plane and the functions of the user plane. The user plane mainly involves the L1 layer (physical layer), the L2 layer (MAC layer, RLC layer, PDCP), and the control plane refers to the L1 layer, the L2 layer, and the RRC layer.

The dual connectivity structure can be implemented in a variety of protocol stack structures. Figures 1 through 4 are schematic illustrations of four options for the control plane structure. As shown in FIG. 1 , in the option 1 in FIG. 1 , there is one RRC entity in each of the primary base station (MeNB) and the terminal (UE), and the upper layer control signaling (ie, RRC signaling) only passes through the L1 of the primary base station. Interact with the L2 layer and the terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, in option 2 in FIG. 2, there is one RRC entity in each of the primary base station (MeNB) and the terminal (UE), and the upper layer control signaling may be through the primary base station (MeNB) or/and the secondary base station ( SeNB) interacts with a terminal (UE). As shown in FIG. 3, in option 3 in FIG. 3, there is an RRC entity in the terminal, and each base station involved in the dual connectivity structure has an RRC entity, and the base station side There is a certain degree of division and interaction between the RRC entities, and the high-level control signaling can be exchanged between the base station and the terminal that control the corresponding functions. As shown in FIG. 4, in option 4 in FIG. 4, the terminal has a corresponding RRC entity for each base station in the dual connectivity structure; meanwhile, each base station involved in the dual connectivity structure has an RRC entity. The high layer control signaling can be exchanged between the base station and the terminal that control the corresponding function.

In the existing LTE-A 11 system, the allocation of dedicated radio resources is divided into two parts: one part is dedicated resource allocation for PCell, and some resources allocated for PCell are shared with other cells, for example: signal wireless Bearer (SRB, Signaling Radio Bearer) Data Radio Bearer (DRB, Data Radio Bearer). There is no clear identifier for the dedicated resource allocation of PCell. At the same time, different SCells for the same terminal have their own dedicated configurations. These dedicated configurations are implemented by association with the cell identifier (SCelllndex) when the SCell is established or reconfigured.

It should be noted that the above description of the technical background is only for the purpose of facilitating the clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention, and is convenient for understanding by those skilled in the art. The above technical solutions are not considered to be well known to those skilled in the art simply because these solutions are set forth in the background section of the present invention.

In the dual connectivity structure, it is possible for the terminal to receive high layer control signaling from both base stations, such as options 2~4.

The foregoing and other features of the invention will be apparent from the The embodiments of the present invention are specifically disclosed in the specification and the drawings, which illustrate some embodiments in which the principles of the invention may be employed. It is understood that the invention is not limited to the described embodiments. All modifications, variations and equivalents are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.

For a system in which a small cell is deployed, the user equipment can establish two or more connections with the network side. To solve the problem of resource configuration object confusion, the embodiment of the present invention provides a resource configuration method, where the network side is the connection, Or configuring the connection and the resources of the cell in the connection, wherein the resource identifier of the different connection is distinguished by the connection identifier, or different cells are identified by different cell identifiers. This avoids the confusion of resource configuration objects. The resource configuration method of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a resource configuration method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes: Step 501: Configure a corresponding resource for two or more connections established by the user equipment and the network side; in this embodiment, the connection established between the user equipment and the network side may be Including primary and secondary connections, or including secondary connections, different connection identifiers are used to distinguish different connections, so that resource configurations of different connections can be distinguished; thus, resources allocated to each connection on the network side, including connection identification And configure the corresponding resources. Step 502: Notify the user equipment of the configured resource.

It can be seen from the above embodiment that the problem of resource configuration object confusion can be avoided by distinguishing resource configurations of different connections by connecting identifiers.

For example, in step 501, a connection set or a secondary connection set may be set for each user equipment, and the connection identifier is to be explicitly or implicitly assigned to each connection in the set. If it is a connection set, the connection set includes the primary connection and all secondary connections; if it is a secondary connection set, only all secondary connections are included in the secondary connection set. Regardless of which collection is used, each connection in the collection corresponds to a connection identifier. The primary connection identifier can be set to "0" by default (that is, implicitly assigned); and the connection identifier of the secondary connection needs to be explicitly assigned by the network side. In this way, when the user equipment is configured with the resources of the related connection, the relevant connection identification symbol is used for identification (if there is no explicit connection identifier, it is considered as the resource allocation under the primary connection), so that no difference is caused. Confusion of connection resource configuration.

In this embodiment, the resources allocated to each connection include at least a dedicated MAC entity, and may further include one or more of the following resources: the connection-dedicated physical configuration, dedicated data radio bearer (DB, Data Radio) Bearer) configuration.

In this embodiment, the method further includes: configuring corresponding operation information for the two or more connections established by the user equipment and the network side, and notifying the user equipment of the operation information. In this way, after the user equipment receives the operation information, the user equipment may perform related operations on the connection between the user equipment and the network side according to the operation information;

In this embodiment, the operation information includes one or more of the following information: information about a new connection, a reconfiguration, and a release operation of the secondary connection; and/or information for reconfiguring the primary connection.

For example, in the case of a connection set, since the primary connection is always in the collection as long as the connection set exists, that is, the MAC entity corresponding to the primary connection always exists, so there is no reestablishment operation for the primary connection, only the reconfiguration operation, that is, Reconfigure the resources assigned to the primary connection with the connection identifier unchanged. In a connection set or a secondary connection set, a secondary connection can be added to the set (ie, a new secondary connection: in addition to the secondary connection identifier assigned to the connection, a resource is also allocated to the secondary connection), or modified in the collection (ie reassign the secondary connection, reconfigure the resources allocated to the secondary connection) or remove from the collection (ie release the secondary connection, releasing the connection identifier and resources that assigned the connection). In this embodiment, when a new secondary connection is established, at least a corresponding MAC entity needs to be established; when the secondary connection is released, at least a corresponding MAC entity needs to be released.

In this embodiment, in step 502, the user equipment can be notified by any message. For example, for The secondary connection set may be configured to carry the information about the release operation of the secondary connection by using the release list of the secondary connection in the RRC message; and the information about the new connection and the reconfiguration operation of the secondary connection is carried by using the added modification list in the RRC message.

For example, the network side may include an operation of releasing the list and adding a modification list to the secondary connection set in the RRCConnectionReconfigration message.

The release list of the secondary connection in the RRC message is defined as: sConnectivityToReleaseList-rl2 SConnectivityToReleaseList-rl2 OPTIONAL, - Need ON

SConnectivityToReleaseList-rl2 ::= SEQUENCE (SIZE ( 1..maxSConnectivity-r 12)) OF Connectivitylndex-r 12 where maxSConnectivity is the maximum number of secondary connections that can be supported.

The list of added modifications to the secondary connection in the C message is: sConnectivitylToAddModList-r 12 SConnectivitylToAddModList-r 12 OPTIONAL, - Need ON

SConnectivityToAddModList-rl2: := SEQUENCE (SIZE (1..maxSConnectivity-r 12)) OF

SConnectivityToAddMod-r 12

SConnectivityToAddMod-rl2:: = SEQUENCE {

sConnectivitylIndex-rl2 SConnectivityIndex-rl2

mac-Config-rl2 CHOICE {

explicitValue MAC-Config-rl2,

defaultValue Null

} OPTIONAL, — Cond Setup

drb-ToAddModList DRB-ToAddModList OPTIONAL, drb-ToReleaseList DRB-ToReleaseList OPTIONAL, physicalConfigDedicated PhysicalConfigDedicated OPTIONAL

} where SConnectivityIndex-rl2 is an integer in the [l ... maxSConnectivity] interval. For the information element in SConnectivityToAddMod-rl2, mac-Config-rl2 is used to create or re-allocate the MAC entity, including the information element when the secondary connection is established. The information element ( drb-ToAddModList, physicalConfigDedicated ) can appear when the secondary connection is established or reconfigured. The drb-ToReleaseList can only appear when the secondary connection is reconfigured.

When the connected resource has only its MAC entity, the secondary connection in the RRC message adds a modification list to: SConnectivityToAddMod-rl2:: = SEQUENCE {

sConnectivitylIndex-rl2 SConnectivityIndex-rl2

mac-Config-rl2 CHOICE {

explicitValue MAC-Config-rl2,

defaultValue Null

}

} When a secondary connection is newly created or reconfigured, mac-Config will appear. At the same time, the user equipment needs to establish a MAC entity or reconfigure the MAC entity.

It can be seen that the resource identifiers of different connections can be distinguished by the connection identifier, and the problem of resource configuration object confusion can be avoided. In addition, the configured operation information can be used to centrally manage resources shared by all cells in a connection, such as MAC. Entity resources, or DRBs, or dedicated physical configurations reduce the signaling burden.

Example 2

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a resource configuration method according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on Embodiment 1, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the network side may also configure resources of different cells in each connection, and different cell identifiers are used to distinguish different cells under one connection.

As shown in Figure 6, the method includes:

Step 601: Configure corresponding resources for two or more connections established by the user equipment and the network side, and configure corresponding resources for the cells in the connection;

In this embodiment, different cells are distinguished by a cell identifier; the cell includes a primary cell (PCell) and/or a secondary cell (SCell);

In this way, among the resources allocated to each cell on the network side, the cell identifier is included and the corresponding resources are configured. Step 602: Notify the user equipment of the resource configured for the connection and the resource configured for the cell in the connection.

Through the hierarchical identifier allocation of the embodiment of the present invention, an accurate and efficient resource configuration can be implemented. By configuring resources of the multiple connections, the common resources of all cells under one connection can be allocated, and the information can be reduced. The burden is allocated; resources can be allocated to each cell by configuring resources for different cells under the same connection.

In this embodiment, in step 601 and step 602, two or two are established for the user equipment and the network side. The two or more connections are configured with corresponding resources and the user equipment is notified as described in Embodiment 1, and details are not described herein again. In step 601, when the corresponding resources are configured for different cells in the same connection, the resource identifiers of different cells in the same connection may be distinguished by the cell identifier.

In this embodiment, since the cell is established, the network side allocates its cell identification symbol. In the same connection, the cell identification symbol is unique. This implementation method can further distinguish the resource configurations of different cells in the same connection.

In this embodiment, the network side may associate the connection with the cell in the connection by using association information, so that the user equipment may determine the connection or connection where the cell is located according to the association information and the association between the cell and the connection. The next cell.

In this embodiment, the associated information may use existing parameter information, which may simplify settings, such as a cell identifier. In this embodiment, when the association information is a cell identifier, the connection identifier may be added to the configuration of the cell for the case where the network side sets the secondary connection set; or the configuration of the cell is included in the configuration of the corresponding connection. In this way, the relationship between the cell and the connection can be established. In this case, the association relationship is specifically a mapping relationship between the association information and the connection identifier. Therefore, the connection is associated with the cell under the connection by the mapping relationship between the association information (cell identifier) and the connection identifier. . In this way, after the user equipment receives the resources configured by the network side for one or more connected different cells, the connection between the cell identifier and the connection identifier may be determined according to the mapping relationship between the cell identifier and the connection identifier. The following examples illustrate:

Example 1: The connection identifier is included in the configuration of the new SCell.

In the existing agreement, the agreement for creating a new SCell is as follows:

In order to associate a cell with a connection, a secondary connection identifier can be added to the above SCell definition. For example, add the following to its definition (such as the italicized line):

SCellToAddMod-rlO ::= SEQUENCE {

sCelllndex-rlO SCelllndex-rlO,

Cellldentification-r 10 SEQUENCE {

physCellld-rlO PhysCellld,

[[ dl-CarrierFreq-vl090 ARFCN-ValueEUTRA-v9eO OPTIONAL Cond EARFCN-max

]]

sConnectivityllndex-rl 2 SConnectivitylndex-r 12 OPTIONAL, -Need OP

} If the connection identifier of the primary connection defaults and the SCell is under the primary connection, there is no need to add a connection identifier in the SCell definition on the network side. If the user equipment does not find the connection identifier in the SCell definition, the user equipment is considered to be under the primary connection. At the same time, the user equipment can also determine which cells are under the primary connection.

Example 2: Include the configuration of the newly created SCell in the secondary connection definition.

In the existing protocol, the management of SCell is achieved by releasing the list and adding a modified list, as shown below:

: Country: Painting:; Country: ' Α. ϋ ΐο k; :.— 'l'oA. JJMo i l i :

In order to associate with the corresponding secondary connection, the secondary connection can be associated with the /J area under it (such as the italicized line), as shown in the following: SConnectivityToAddMod-rl2:: = SEQUENCE {

sConnectivitylIndex-rl2 SConnectivityIndex-rl2

sCellToAddModList-rl 2 SCellToAddModHst-rl 0 OPTIONAL,

As can be seen from the above, after the association between the cell and the connection is established by using the associated information, after the user equipment receives the resource configured by the network side for one or more connected different cells, the cell identifier and the connection identifier may be determined according to the cell identifier and the connection identifier. The mapping relationship determines the connection where the cell is located or the cell under the connection.

In this embodiment, the method may further include: configuring corresponding operation information for the connection, which is similar to Embodiment 1, and details are not described herein again.

In this embodiment, the method may further include: configuring corresponding operation information for the cell in the connection, where the operation information includes one or more of the following information: performing, reconfiguring, and releasing the cell in the connection. Information about the operation.

In this way, when the user equipment modifies the secondary connection according to the operation information, it is possible to release, add or reconfigure the cell under the operation information according to the operation information.

When the connected resource includes not only operations on the MAC entity but also other layer operations, such as DRB and physical layer operations, the connection with the cell is more direct.

The foregoing embodiment 2 is an example in which the associated information is used as the cell identifier, but the associated information is not limited to the foregoing embodiment, and the associated information may also use other identifiers, for example, a secondary timing advance group identifier (stag-id, Secondary Time Advanced Group id), for this case, is explained in the following embodiment.

Example 3

Embodiment 3 of the present invention further provides a resource configuration method. Based on the second embodiment, the same technical features as those of the second embodiment will not be described again, and the differences from the second embodiment will be described in detail. In this embodiment, the association information is a secondary timing advance group identifier.

Due to the dual-connected user equipment, the serving cell is allocated to the corresponding TAG, which can be a primary TAG (PTAG, Primary TAG) or a secondary TAG (STAG, Secondary TAG).

In the existing LTE-A system, the control signaling for configuring and maintaining the STAG is included in the MAC-MaiConfig information element. If this structure is inherited, and according to steps 601 and 602, MAC-MaiConfig appears as a mandatory information element for connection establishment, it can be further derived that the configuration and maintenance of the STAG is performed under a certain connection, that is, each Connect to configure and maintain your own STAG.

In this embodiment, if the stag-ids of different connections are unique, then the connection to which the TAG corresponding to the stag-id belongs can be judged uniquely according to the STAG maintained by each connection. In this case, when the user equipment receives the resources allocated by the network side for one or more connected different cells, the user equipment can directly determine the location of the serving cell according to the stag-id assigned to the secondary cell. Connection; Of course, the primary cell may have no stag-id, and defaults to the primary connection. The secondary cell in the same TAG as the primary cell may also have no stag-id, and defaults to the primary connection. In this case, the network side does not need to associate any connection identifiers for the serving cell.

In this embodiment, if the stag-id of the same connection is unique, but the stag-id between different connections may be multiplexed, in this case, the network side is configured to enable the user equipment to determine the serving cell. For the connection, the cell ID under the secondary connection needs to be associated with the connection identifier, as follows:

For example, an example of establishing a secondary connection set will be described.

In the existing protocol, the dedicated MAC configuration for SCell is defined as follows:

::

;;;|| | | | | Lai Birang II Lai; : ^; ΊΊ ;ΝΑ Ι _F

In order to associate with the connection, a secondary connection identifier (such as a slash italic) is added to the SCell's dedicated MAC configuration:

MAC-MainConfigSCell-rl 1 : := SEQUENCE {

stag-Id-rl l STAG-Id-rl l OPTIONAL, - Need OP sConnectivityllndex-rl 2 SConnectivitylndex-rl 2 OPTIONAL, —Need OP

} When the STAG of the SCell is located under the secondary connection, the network needs to be configured with the connection identifier it is in. In this way, the user equipment can determine which connection the serving cell belongs to: the service cell without the stag-id is determined to be under the primary connection; the service with the stag-id assigned but the connection identifier is not explicitly configured on the network side The cell is determined to be under the primary connection; the serving cell to which the stag-id is assigned and the network side explicitly configures the connection identifier can explicitly determine the connection in which it is located. At the same time, the user equipment can also determine which cells are available under each connection.

This association is easier when the connected resources only contain operations on the MAC.

It can be seen from the above embodiment that accurate and efficient resource allocation can be achieved by hierarchically allocating the cells under the connection and the connection. Specifically, the public resources of all the cells under one connection can be allocated, and the information can be reduced. The burden; the resources specific to each cell can be allocated.

In addition, when the characteristics of the connection include not only the operation of the MAC but also the operation of the SRB or the DRB, the SRB and DRB identifiers of different connections can be reused. The following examples illustrate:

For example, in an existing protocol, the SRB ID has only two values: {1, 2}. In the control plane structure in FIGS. 1 and 2, although the primary connection and the secondary connection are established between the network side and the terminal, there is only one RRC entity on the network side. If there are SRBs in both the primary connection and the secondary connection, and assuming that two SRBs are established in each connection, then since only one RRC entity controls the SRB, the network side needs to identify the four SRBs to perform on them. Related operations. If there is no connection identifier, the network side needs to extend the original SRB identifier, which may be extended from {1, 2} to {1, 2, 3, 4}. If the connection identifier is used to identify the related connection, the value of the SRB identifier can still be the same as {1, 2} _0. For the value range of the DRB identifier, if the connection identifier is used, The value range of DRB identifiers under different connections can also be reused.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the resource allocation on the network side is taken as an example. The base station on the network side can allocate resources to the user equipment, and the base station can be a primary connected base station or a secondary connected base station. Base station.

Example 4

Figure 7 is a flow chart showing a resource allocation method according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the method includes: Step 701: A user equipment receives resources configured by a network side for two or more connection establishments established by the user equipment and a network side; the connection includes a primary connection and a secondary connection, or the Connections include secondary connections, which distinguish different connections by different connection identifiers.

It can be seen from the foregoing embodiment that the user equipment can distinguish the resource configurations of different connections by using the connection identifier, and the problem of confusion of resource configuration objects can be avoided. In this embodiment, the resource allocated by the user equipment to the connection at the network side includes at least a dedicated MAC entity, and may further include one or more of the following resources: the connection-dedicated physical configuration, dedicated Data Radio Bearer (DRB) configuration.

In this embodiment, the method may further include:

Step 702: Receive operation information configured by the network side to operate the connection.

In this embodiment, the operation information for operating the connection may include one or more of the following information: information about the new connection, reconfiguration, and release operation of the secondary connection; and/or reconfiguration of the primary connection Information.

Step 703: Perform corresponding operations on the connection according to the operation information.

In this embodiment, in the case of a connection set, since the connection set exists, the main connection corresponds

The MAC entity always exists. Therefore, if the operation information includes reconfiguration information for the primary connection, the user equipment reconfigures the wireless resource allocated to the primary connection according to the operation information;
