Description

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, a device, a system, a base station, and a user terminal for configuring a service connection parameter. Background technique

In the field of wireless communication, a cellular network is composed of a macro cell, which is simply referred to as a macro cell (abbreviated as MC). With the continuous development of communication technologies, a small cell (English: small cell, abbreviation: SC) technology is introduced to support high-rate service data transmission. The SC and the MC cooperate to provide communication services for the UE. Wherein, SC refers to a base station whose coverage is smaller than MC and whose transmission power is smaller than MC, such as a home base station (English: Home eNB, abbreviation: HeNB), a micro base station (English: pico), and a radio remote (English: Radio Remote head, abbreviation: RRH) equipment, etc.

As shown in FIG. 1 , it is an application scenario in which a typical MC and an SC cooperate to provide a communication service for a UE. In a communication network in which the SC and the MC cooperate to provide communication services for the UE, the MC is used to increase the coverage of the network, and is responsible for transmitting control signaling, and the SC is used to enhance the data transmission rate and assume part or all of the data services of the terminal user. A signal transmitted by one MC may cover multiple SCs, and the UE and SC are connected. Multiple SCs can be set up in one building. In an application scenario in which the MC and the SC cooperate to provide communication services for the UE, the UE needs to communicate with the two base stations MC and SC respectively to transmit data. This mode may be referred to as a dual connectivity mode. In the dual connectivity mode, to ensure the synchronization of data transmission, the MC performs parameter configuration on the SC and the UE connected to the SC. After the parameter configuration is completed, if it is determined that the service connection parameter needs to be reconfigured, the MC needs to reconfigure the SC and the UE connected to the SC. In the process of configuration or reconfiguration, the MC needs to send configuration parameters to the SC and the UE through radio resource control (English: Radio Resource Control, abbreviation: RRC). In the process of configuring the service connection parameters of the UE and the SC, the MC first configures the configuration parameters by using the configuration parameters before the MC sends the configuration parameters. After the MC sends the configuration parameters, the MC can pause the scheduling for the UE until it receives the configuration parameters. a configuration completion message sent by the UE, The MC and the UE can resume normal communication, and the process of parameter configuration for the UE is about ten milliseconds. Second, when the UE receives the configuration parameters and configures its own service connection parameters using the received configuration parameters, the UE pauses to send and receive data. The parameters of the two sides do not match before the parameter configuration is completed between the SC and the UE. When the MC performs parameter configuration on the UE and the UE connected to the UE, the time when the MC suspends scheduling of the UE, and the time when the UE pauses to send and receive data may be referred to as a fuzzy period. In the dual-connect mode, the interface between the MC and the SC may exist in various forms, so there may be multiple interface delays for transmitting data between the two, and the interface delay between the MC and the SC is from 5ms to 60ms. may. In general, when the MC reconfigures the service parameters of the UE and the SC, the existence of the interface delay will make the ambiguity period longer. When the reconfiguration ambiguity period becomes longer, the UE and the MC or the SC connection may fail. In turn, the throughput of end user data is reduced.

To sum up, in the dual-connection mode, when the service parameters of the UE and the SC are reconfigured due to the interface delay, the ambiguity period of the inconsistency between the service parameters of the two parties is too long, resulting in a decrease in the throughput of the end user data. Summary of the invention

The main implementation principles, specific implementation manners, and the corresponding beneficial effects that can be achieved by the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1

A first embodiment of the present invention provides a configuration system, as shown in FIG. 2, including at least one UE, at least one first transmission point, and at least one second transmission point, wherein any one of the at least one first transmission point The signal transmitted by one transmission point covers at least one second transmission point, the UE is connected to the first transmission point, and the UE is simultaneously connected with at least one second transmission point. among them:

The first transmission point and the second transmission point provide a dual connectivity service for the UE, the UE is connected to the first transmission point, and the UE is connected to the second transmission point. The second transmission point connected to the UE may be a second transmission point within a signal coverage range transmitted by the connected first transmission point, or may be a second transmission point outside the signal coverage range transmitted at the connected first transmission point. It may also be a second transmission point of the signal half coverage range transmitted at the first transmission point of the connection. Regardless of whether the second transmission point is covered by the signal transmitted by the connected first transmission point, the second transmission point SC can communicate with the first transmission point, and together with the first transmission point, provide dual connectivity services for the UE, and second The transmission point is used to provide control signaling transmission in dual connectivity mode.

Communicating between the first transmission point and the second transmission point, negotiating to determine the configuration of the service connection parameters Parameters. The configuration parameter may be an initial configuration parameter of the service connection parameter in the dual connectivity mode, or may be a reconfiguration parameter that reconfigures the service connection parameter after the service connection parameter configuration in the dual connectivity mode is completed.

The second transmission point sends the generated configuration parameters configured for the service connection parameters to the first transmission point. The second transmission point configures the service connection parameters according to the generated configuration parameters after transmitting the configuration parameters.

The specific implementation manner of configuring the service connection parameter according to the generated configuration parameter after the second transmission point sends the configuration parameter may include the following two methods:

The first mode is: after the configuration parameter is sent, if the indication message sent by the connected UE is received, the service connection parameter is configured according to the generated configuration parameter.

The indication message is used to indicate that the service connection parameters are configured using configuration parameters.

Optionally, if the indication message sent by the connected UE is received within the set duration after the configuration parameter is sent, the service connection parameter is configured according to the generated configuration parameter. In this way, it is better to avoid receiving the indication message for a long time due to the data transmission link failure between the UE and the UE, and the service connection parameters cannot be configured.

The second transmission point receives the indication message sent by the connected UE, and may use any one of the following two methods:

A: The medium access control (English: Medium Access Control, MAC) control unit (English: Control Element, abbreviation: CE) receives the indication message sent by the connected UE.

The MAC CE may be a MAC CE for carrier activation in the reuse carrier aggregation, or may be a newly defined MAC CE.

B: The indication message sent by the connected UE may be received through physical layer signaling.

The second method: After the configuration parameters are sent, if the preset time is reached, the service connection parameters are configured according to the generated configuration parameters.

In this mode, after the second transmission point sends the configuration parameter, the timer can be started. If the preset time set by the timer is T, the second transmission point sends the configuration parameter after the second transmission. When the point needs to wait for the preset time T set by the timer to arrive, the service connection parameters can be configured according to the configuration parameters.

The process of performing communication between the first transmission point and the second transmission point, negotiating and determining the configuration parameter of the service connection parameter is optional, and the second transmission point may directly send the generated configuration parameter to the first transmission point.

The first transmission point receives the configuration parameter sent by the second transmission point, and sends the received configuration parameter to the UE.

The UE receives the configuration message sent by the first transmission point in the dual connectivity mode. The UE obtains the configuration parameters included in the configuration message. As can be seen from the above description, the configuration parameter is a configuration parameter configured and transmitted by the second transmission point to configure the service connection parameter. The UE configures the service connection parameters according to the obtained configuration parameters.

Optionally, since the configuration message sent by the first transmission point is performed for multiple connected UEs, after receiving the configuration message, the UE may further determine whether the received configuration message is the second connection between the UE and the UE. The service connection parameter between the transmission points is configured. If the determination result is yes, an indication message is sent to the second transmission point connected to the UE, where the indication message is used to indicate that the second transmission point connected with the UE uses the configuration parameter to the service connection parameter. Configure it. In this way, the UE can better ensure the accuracy of the configuration of the service connection parameters according to the configuration parameters in the configuration message, thereby ensuring that the UE and the connected second transmission point can communicate normally and transmit data.

The manner in which the UE sends the indication message to the second transmission point connected to the UE may include the following two methods:

The first mode: sending an indication message to the second transmission point connected to the UE through the media MAC CE.

The second mode is: sending an indication message to the SC connected to the UE by using physical layer signaling.

After the configuration is completed, the UE sends a configuration completion message for informing that the service connection parameter configuration is completed. The configuration completion message may be sent to the first transmission point, or may be sent to the second transmission. Pointed, or both sent to the first transmission point and also to the second transmission point.

The UE and the second transmission point communicate using the configured service connection parameters.

In the above configuration system, the configuration parameter set for the service connection parameter is generated by the second transmission point, and then sent to the first transmission point. After receiving the configuration parameter, the first transmission point encapsulates the configuration parameter and passes the radio resource control signaling. Sending to the UE, the UE receives the configuration parameter, and then the UE and the connected second transmission point set the service parameters using the configuration parameters. In this method, if the configuration parameter is applied immediately after the second transmission point generates the configuration parameter, the UE has not received the configuration parameter, cannot set the service parameter, or still uses the original configuration parameter, which will make The second transmission point that has used the configuration parameters and the UE that cannot set the service parameters or that still use the original configuration parameters cannot connect, so that the UE fails to send and receive data. Therefore, in the foregoing technical solution, the UE obtains the configuration parameter in the configuration message after receiving the configuration message, and sets the service connection parameter according to the configuration parameter, so as to ensure the data between the UE and the second transmission point. Synchronization of transmission, the second transmission point sends the generated configuration parameters, and does not use the configuration parameters immediately, but after transmitting the configuration parameters, according to the received indication message, or according to the duration set by the timer, according to the generation The configuration parameters configure the service connection parameters to ensure the synchronization of data transmitted and received between the UE and the second transmission point.

Based on the above system architecture, the first embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below by two specific examples.

The first instance:

Based on the system architecture shown in FIG. 2 and the working principle of the configuration system described above, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a first configuration method. As shown in FIG. 3, the first transmission point is MC, and the second transmission is performed. The point is SC as an example to elaborate. The specific process is as follows:

A connection is established between the UE and the MC, the UE and the SC, MC and SC. The UE, MC, and SC are in dual connectivity mode.

Step 30: Communicate between the first transmission point and the second transmission point, and negotiate to determine configuration parameters of the service connection parameters.

The MC communicates with the SC to negotiate the configuration parameters of the service connection parameters. The configuration parameter may be an initial configuration parameter of the service connection parameter in the dual connectivity mode, or may be a reconfiguration parameter that reconfigures the service connection parameter after the service connection parameter configuration in the dual connectivity mode is completed.

The MC communicates with the SC to negotiate reconfiguration parameters that reconfigure the service connection parameters.

Step 30 is an optional step. In a specific implementation, step 30 may be performed, or step 31 may be directly performed.

Step 31: The second transmission point generates configuration parameters.

The SC generates configuration parameters. The SC generates reconfiguration parameters as an example to elaborate, and the SC generates reconfiguration parameters.

Step 32: The second transmission point sends the generated configuration parameter to the first transmission point.

The SC sends the generated configuration parameters to the MC.

Step 33: The first transmission point receives the configuration parameter sent by the second transmission point.

The MC receives the configuration parameters sent by the SC.

In the above steps 32 to 33, the SC sends the generated reconfiguration parameters to the MC, and the MC receives the reconfiguration parameters sent by the SC.

Step 34: The first transmission point encapsulates the received configuration parameter in a configuration message, and sends the configuration parameter to the UE by using radio resource control signaling.

The MC encapsulates the received configuration parameters in a configuration message and sends the configuration parameters to the UE through radio resource control signaling.

The MC encapsulates the received reconfiguration parameters in a reconfiguration message and sends the RRC parameters to the UE through radio resource control signaling. In the reconfiguration message, it may also be written in a specified field, which is information for reconfiguring the service connection parameters between the SC and the UE connected by the SC.

Step 35: The UE receives the configuration message sent by the first transmission point, and obtains configuration parameters in the configuration message.

The UE receives the configuration message sent by the MC, and obtains configuration parameters in the configuration message. Or the UE receives the reconfiguration message sent by the MC, and obtains the reconfiguration parameter in the reconfiguration message. Step 36: The UE determines whether the received configuration message is configured for the service connection parameter between the UE and the second transmission point that the UE is connected to. If the determination result is yes, go to step 37. If the judgment result is no, the processing ends.

The UE determines whether the received configuration message is a service connection parameter between the UE and the SC connected to the UE. If the determination result is yes, go to step 37. If the result of the judgment is no, the processing ends.

Specifically, the UE determines whether the received reconfiguration message is to reconfigure the service connection parameters between the connected SCs.

Step 37: The UE sends an indication message to a second transmission point connected to the UE. The configuration parameters in the configuration message are obtained, and the service connection parameters are configured according to the configuration parameters.

The UE sends an indication message to the SC connected to the UE. The configuration parameters in the configuration message are obtained, and the service connection parameters are configured according to the configuration parameters.

The indication message is used to indicate that the SC connected to the UE configures the service connection parameters using configuration parameters.

For a specific implementation manner in which the UE sends an indication message to the connected SC, refer to the detailed description in the foregoing, and details are not described in this step 37.

Specifically, the reconfiguration parameter is used as an example, and the indication message is used to indicate that the SC connected to the UE uses the reconfiguration parameter to configure the service connection parameter. After transmitting the indication message to the SC, the UE reconfigures the service connection parameters according to the reconfiguration parameters.

Step 38: When receiving the indication message, the second transmission point configures the service connection parameter by using the generated configuration parameter.

When receiving the indication message, the SC configures the service connection parameters by using the generated configuration parameters. For the specific implementation manner of the SC receiving the indication message, please refer to the detailed description in the above, and the details are not described in this step 38.

Specifically, taking the reconfiguration parameter as an example, when receiving the indication message, the SC reconfigures the service connection parameter by using the generated reconfiguration parameter.

In the foregoing steps 37 and 38, during specific implementation, the UE and the SC are in accordance with the configuration parameters. When configuring the connection parameters, try to ensure that the two are at the same time. This can avoid the interface delay between the MC and the SC being too long, so that the fuzzy period of the parameter configuration is longer, between the UE and the SC. The communication cannot be performed normally, which causes the end user's service data throughput to drop.

Optionally, after the foregoing step 38, the method may further include:

Step 39: After the configuration is completed, the UE sends a configuration completion message for informing that the service connection parameter configuration is completed.

The configuration completion message may be sent to the MC, or sent to the SC, or sent to the MC or to the SC.

Step 40: The UE and the second transmission point communicate using the configured service connection parameters.

The UE and the SC communicate using the configured service connection parameters.

The second example:

Based on the system architecture shown in FIG. 2 and the working principle of the configuration system described above, the first embodiment of the present invention proposes a second configuration method, where the first transmission point is MC and the second transmission point is SC. Explain in detail. As shown in Figure 4, the specific process is as follows:

Step 40: Communicate between the first transmission point and the second transmission point, and negotiate to determine configuration parameters of the service connection parameters.

The MC communicates with the SC to negotiate the configuration parameters of the service connection parameters.

The configuration parameter may be an initial configuration parameter of the service connection parameter in the dual connectivity mode, or a reconfiguration parameter that reconfigures the service connection parameter after the service connection parameter configuration in the dual connectivity mode is completed.

Step 40 is an optional step. In a specific implementation, step 40 may be performed, or step 41 may be directly performed.

Step 41: The second transmission point generates configuration parameters. Sc generates configuration parameters.

The SC generates reconfiguration parameters as an example for detailed explanation, and the SC generates reconfiguration parameters.

Step 42: The second transmission point sends the generated configuration parameter to the first transmission point.

The SC sends the generated configuration parameters to the MC.

Step 43: The first transmission point receives the configuration parameter sent by the second transmission point.

The MC receives the configuration parameters sent by the SC.

In the above steps 42 to 43, the SC sends the generated reconfiguration parameters to the MC, and the MC receives the reconfiguration parameters sent by the SC.

Step 44: The first transmission point encapsulates the received configuration parameter in a configuration message, and sends the configuration parameter to the UE by using radio resource control signaling.

The MC encapsulates the received reconfiguration parameters in a reconfiguration message and sends the RRC parameters to the UE through radio resource control signaling.

Step 45: The UE receives the configuration message sent by the first transmission point, and obtains configuration parameters in the configuration message.

The UE receives the configuration message sent by the MC, and obtains the configuration parameter in the configuration message. Or the UE receives the reconfiguration message sent by the MC, and obtains the reconfiguration parameter in the reconfiguration message.

Step 46: The UE obtains the configuration parameter in the configuration message, and configures the service connection parameter according to the configuration parameter.

Step 47: After sending the configuration parameter, the second transmission point starts the timer to start timing, and when the timing time arrives, configures the service connection parameter by using the generated configuration parameter.

After the SC sends the configuration parameters, the timer starts to start timing. When the timing time arrives, the generated configuration parameters are used to configure the service connection parameters.

Specifically, taking the reconfiguration parameter as an example, after the SC sends the reconfiguration parameter, the SC starts the timer to start timing, and when the timing time arrives, uses the generated reconfiguration parameter to reconfigure the service connection parameter. When the time is not reached, the SC still communicates with the UE according to the original configuration parameters. Letter.

The timer time setting can be set according to the interface delay between MC and SC. For example, the timing setting can be slightly larger than the interface delay between MC and SC, or it can be greater than or equal to the maximum interface delay between MC and SC.

Specifically, the interface delay between the MC and the SC may include several of the following Table 1. Due to the different backhaul technology, the interface delay between MC and SC is not exactly the same, the maximum can be 60ms, and the minimum can be 5ms.

Table 1

In the foregoing steps 46 and 47, when the UE and the SC configure the service connection parameters according to the configuration parameters, the UE and the SC are simultaneously configured, so that the interface delay between the MC and the SC is too long. The ambiguity period of the parameter configuration is long, and the UE and the SC cannot communicate normally, so that the UE fails to send and receive data, which causes the service data throughput of the end user to decrease.

Optionally, after the foregoing step 47, the method may further include:

Step 48: After the configuration is completed, the UE sends a configuration for informing that the service connection parameter configuration is completed. Complete the message.

Step 49: The UE and the SC use the configured service connection parameters for communication.

Embodiment 2

A second embodiment of the present invention provides a system for configuring a service connection parameter, and the structural composition thereof is as shown in FIG. 2, including at least one UE, at least one first transmission point, and at least one second transmission point, where at least one first The signal transmitted by any one of the transmission points covers at least one second transmission point, the UE is connected to the first transmission point, and the UE is simultaneously connected to the at least one second transmission point. among them:

The first transmission point determines a configuration parameter of a service connection parameter between the second transmission point and the UE to which the second transmission point is connected. The configuration parameter may be an initial configuration parameter of the service connection parameter in the dual connectivity mode, or a reconfiguration parameter that reconfigures the service connection parameter after the service connection parameter configuration in the dual connectivity mode is completed.

The first transmission point sends the determined configuration parameter to the second transmission point, and encapsulates the determined configuration parameter, and sends the configuration parameter to the UE by using radio resource control signaling.

The UE receives the configuration message sent by the first transmission point in the dual connectivity mode. Obtaining, in the configuration message, a configuration parameter that is configured to be configured by the first transmission point and configured to send the service connection parameter, after obtaining the configuration parameter, after receiving the configuration parameter, the UE follows the configuration parameter in the received configuration message. Configure the service connection parameters.

After receiving the configuration parameter, the UE configures the service connection parameter according to the configuration parameter in the received configuration message. The specific implementation manner may include the following two methods:

The first mode: If the indication message sent by the connected second transmission point is received, the service connection parameter is configured according to the configuration parameter in the received configuration message.

Optionally, the service connection parameter is configured according to the configuration parameter in the received configuration message, if the indication message sent by the connected second transmission point is received within the preset duration after receiving the configuration message. In this way, it is better to avoid receiving the indication message for a long time due to the data transmission link failure between the second transmission point and failing to configure the service connection parameters.

The UE may receive the indication message sent by the connected second transmission point in the following two manners:

A: The MAC control unit CE is controlled by the medium access, and receives an indication message sent by the connected second transmission point.

The MAC CE may be a MAC CE for carrier activation in carrier aggregation.

B: Receive an indication message sent by the second transmission point of the connection through physical layer signaling.

The second mode: After receiving the configuration parameters, if the preset time arrives, configure the service connection parameters according to the configuration parameters in the received configuration message.

In this manner, after receiving the configuration message, the UE may start a timer. If the preset time set by the timer is T, the UE may wait for the preset time T to arrive after receiving the configuration message. The configuration parameters configure the service connection parameters.

Similarly, for the second transmission point in the configuration system, in the dual connectivity mode, receiving the configuration parameter configured by the first transmission point sent by the first transmission point to configure the service connection parameter, according to the received configuration message The configuration parameters in the configuration configure the business connection parameters.

The first transmission point may send an indication message to the connected UE after receiving the configuration message sent by the MC, and configure the service connection parameter according to the configuration parameter in the received configuration message after the indication message is sent. The indication message is used to indicate that the service connection parameters are configured using configuration parameters.

Specifically, the first transmission point sends the indication message to the connected UE, which may include the following two manners: The first manner: sending, by using the MAC CE, an indication message to the connected UE.

The MAC CE may be a MAC CE for carrier activation in carrier aggregation.

The second mode is: sending an indication message to the connected UE by using physical layer signaling.

After the configuration is completed, the UE sends a configuration completion message for informing that the service connection parameter configuration is completed. The configuration completion message may be sent to the first transmission point, or may be sent to the second transmission point, or sent to both the first transmission point and the second transmission point.

The configuration parameter set for the service connection parameter is generated by the first transmission point and then sent to the second transmission point and the UE. The UE will precede the connection due to the existence of the interface delay between the first transmission point and the second transmission point. The second transmission point uses the new configuration parameters, but after the UE uses the new configuration parameters, the second transmission point still uses the original configuration parameters, so the UE fails to send and receive data. Therefore, in the technical solution of the second embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the configuration message, the UE does not use the configuration parameter immediately, but starts to configure the service connection parameter according to the received indication message or according to the set duration. The process to ensure the synchronization of data transmission between the UE and the second transmission point.

The sending of the configuration completion message may also be performed immediately after receiving the configuration message sent by the first transmission point, and then the UE performs the configuration or reconfiguration process again, so as to avoid the time when the first transmission point or the second transmission point waits for the configuration completion message. Too long.

Based on the above system architecture, the second embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with two specific examples.

The first instance:

Based on the system architecture shown in FIG. 2 and the working principle of the configuration system described in the second embodiment of the present invention, the first configuration method is proposed in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the first transmission point is MC. The second transmission point is an example of SC as a detailed description. The specific process is as follows:

A connection is established between the UE and the MC, the UE and the SC, the MC, and the SC. UE, MC and SC are in double In connection mode.

Step 51: The first transmission point generates configuration parameters.

The MC generates configuration parameters.

The configuration parameter may be an initial configuration parameter of the service connection parameter in the dual connectivity mode, or a reconfiguration parameter that reconfigures the service connection parameter after the service connection parameter configuration in the dual connectivity mode is completed. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the configuration parameter is a reconfiguration parameter as an example, and the example will be continued later.

The MC determines that the service connection parameter between the SC and the UE connected to the SC needs to be reconfigured, and then the MC determines the reconfiguration parameter of the service connection parameter.

Step 52: The first transmission point sends the generated configuration parameter to the second transmission point and the UE.

The MC sends the generated configuration parameters to the SC and the UE. Or

The MC sends the generated reconfiguration parameters to the SC. And the generated reconfiguration parameter is encapsulated into a reconfiguration message and sent to the UE by using radio resource control signaling.

Step 53: The second transmission point receives the configuration parameter sent by the first transmission point.

The SC receives the configuration parameters sent by the MC. Or

The SC receives the reconfiguration parameter sent by the MC to reconfigure the service connection parameters.

Step 54: The UE receives the configuration message sent by the first transmission point, and obtains the configuration parameter in the received configuration message.

The UE receives the configuration message sent by the MC, and obtains the configuration parameter in the received configuration message. Specifically, the UE receives the reconfiguration message sent by the MC, and obtains a reconfiguration parameter in the received reconfiguration message.

Step 55: The second transmission point sends an indication message to the connected UE when receiving the configuration parameter.

When receiving the configuration parameters, the SC sends an indication message to the connected UE.

The indication message is used to indicate that the UE connected to the SC configures the service connection parameters using the configuration parameters.

For a specific implementation manner in which the SC sends an indication message to the connected UE, refer to the detailed description in the foregoing, and details are not described in this step 55. Specifically, taking the reconfiguration parameter as an example, the indication message is used to indicate that the UE connected with the SC uses the reconfiguration parameter to reconfigure the service connection parameter.

Step 56: After sending the indication message, the second transmission point configures the service parameter by using the received configuration parameter.

After sending the indication message, the SC configures the service parameters by using the received configuration parameters. After sending the indication message, the SC reconfigures the service parameters using the received reconfiguration parameters.

Step 57: When receiving the indication message, the UE configures the service connection parameter by using the configuration parameter.

For a specific implementation manner of the UE receiving the indication message, refer to the detailed description in the foregoing, and no further details are provided in this step 57.

Specifically, taking the reconfiguration parameter as an example, when the UE receives the indication message, the reconfiguration parameter used by the UE reconfigures the service connection parameter.

In the foregoing steps 56 and 57, when the UE and the SC configure the service connection parameters according to the configuration parameters, the UE and the SC are simultaneously configured, so that the interface delay between the MC and the SC is too long. The ambiguity period of the parameter configuration is long, and the UE and the SC cannot communicate normally, so that the UE fails to send and receive data, which causes the service data throughput of the end user to decrease.

Optionally, after the foregoing step 57, the method may further include:

Step 59: After the configuration is completed, the UE sends a configuration completion message for informing that the service connection parameter configuration is completed.

It should be noted that the configuration completion message may be sent immediately after receiving the configuration message sent by the MC, and then the configuration or reconfiguration process is performed after receiving the indication information of the SC, so as to prevent the MC or the SC from waiting for the configuration to be completed. The message took too long.

Step 59: The UE and the second transmission point communicate using the configured service connection parameters. The UE and the SC communicate using the configured service connection parameters.

The second example:

Based on the system architecture shown in FIG. 2 and the working principle of the configuration system described in the second embodiment of the present invention, the second configuration method is proposed in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the first transmission point is MC. The second transmission point is an example of SC as a detailed description. The specific process is as follows:

Step 61: The first transmission point generates configuration parameters.

The MC generates configuration parameters.

Step 62: The first transmission point sends the generated configuration parameter to the second transmission point. And the generated configuration parameters are encapsulated into configuration messages and sent to the UE.

The MC sends the generated configuration parameters to the SC. And the generated configuration parameters are encapsulated into configuration messages and sent to the UE.

The delay time is included in the configuration message sent to the UE.

The MC sends the generated reconfiguration parameters to the SC. And the generated reconfiguration parameter is encapsulated into a reconfiguration message and sent to the UE by using radio resource control signaling. The delay time T is also included in the reconfiguration message sent to the UE.

The setting of the delay time , can be set according to the interface delay between the MC and the SC. For example, the setting of the delay time , may be slightly larger than the interface delay between the MC and the SC, or may be greater than or equal to the maximum interface delay between the MC and the SC. Specifically, the interface delay between the MC and the SC is shown in Table 1 above. Interface between MC and SC due to different backhaul techniques The delay is not exactly the same, the maximum can be 60ms, and the minimum can be 5ms.

Step 63: The UE receives the configuration message, and obtains configuration parameters and a delay time in the configuration message. The UE receives the reconfiguration message, obtains the reconfiguration parameter and the delay time T in the reconfiguration message. Step 64: When the UE waits for the delay time to arrive, the UE configures the service connection parameters according to the obtained configuration parameters.

After waiting for the Τ timeout, the UE reconfigures the service connection parameters according to the obtained reconfiguration parameters.

Step 65: The second transmission point receives the configuration parameter, and configures the service connection parameter by using the received configuration parameter.

The SC receives the reconfiguration parameters and reconfigures the service connection parameters using the received reconfiguration parameters.

In the foregoing steps 64 and 65, when the UE and the second transmission point are configured according to the configuration parameters, the service connection parameters are simultaneously performed, so that the interface between the MC and the SC can be better avoided. If the delay is too long, the ambiguity period of the parameter configuration is long, and the UE and the SC cannot communicate normally, so that the UE fails to send and receive data, which causes the service data throughput of the end user to decrease.

Optionally, after the foregoing step 65, the method may further include:

Step 66: After the configuration is completed, the UE sends a configuration completion message for informing that the service connection parameter configuration is completed.

It should be noted that the configuration completion message may be sent immediately after receiving the configuration message sent by the MC, and then the configuration or reconfiguration process is performed after the timer T expires, so as to prevent the MC or the SC from waiting for the configuration completion message. The time is too long.

Step 67: The UE and the second transmission point communicate using the configured service connection parameters.
