Description

路由信息发送、 接收的方法、 装置及路由信息处理系统 技术领域 本发明涉及通信领域, 具体而言, 涉及一种路由信息发送、 接收的方法、 装置及 路由信息处理系统。 背景技术 在无线通信领域, 随着智能终端和移动互联网应用的快速发展, 人们对用户体验 和高速率、 大数据量的要求越来越高。 传统的以基站为数据传递节点中心的蜂窝网络 在高数据速率以及邻近服务的支持方面存在明显的局限性, 在这种需求背景下, 代表 未来通信技术发展新方向的设备到设备(Device-to-Device, 简称为 D2D)技术应运而 生。 D2D技术的应用, 可以减轻蜂窝网络的负担、 减少用户设备的电池功耗、 提高数 据速率, 并改善网络基础设施的鲁棒性, 很好地满足上述高数据速率业务和邻近服务 的要求。
D2D技术可以工作在授权频段或非授权频段, 允许多个支持 D2D功能的用户设 备(D2D User Equipment, 简称为 D2D UE, 即 D2D用户设备)在有网络基础设施(例 如基站)或无网络基础设施的情况下进行直接发现 /直接通信。 D2D的应用场景主要有 三种:
1) 用户设备 (User Equipment, 简称为 UE) 1和 UE2在蜂窝网络的覆盖下进行 数据交互, 用户面数据(例如 D2D数据)不经过网络基础设施, 如图 1所示的模式 1 ; 此应用场景通常称之为网络覆盖内场景; 2) 在弱 /无覆盖区域的 UE中继传输, 如图 1所示的模式 2, 允许信号质量较差的
UE4通过附近有网络覆盖的 UE3与网络进行通信,能帮助运营商扩展覆盖、提高容量; 此应用场景通常称之为网络范围扩展场景;
3) 在发生地震或紧急情况, 蜂窝网络不能正常工作的情况下,允许设备间直接通 信, 如图 1所示的模式 3, UE5、 UE6和 UE7间控制面和用户面都不经过网络基础设 施而进行一跳或多跳的数据通信; 此应用场景通常称之为无网络覆盖或网络覆盖外场 旦

Figure imgf000035_0002
由上述路由表信息可知, 在一个 UE的路由表信息中发送节点通常不包括自身的 节点标识信息。 在上表中的路由表信息中显示了与此 UE与其它 UE的相邻情况以及与其通信的 方式, 其中, e B的路由表信息中的通信模式标识该 e B与相应的 UE的通信模式, 例如表 2中所示的蜂窝通信模式。 路由信息表所含信息字段有: 发送节点标识、 下一 跳节点标识, 以及可选的发送节点所处网络位置状况和可选的通信模式。 其中发送节 点标识是指包括与 UE相邻的节点, 只包括各 UE, 不包括 eNBl ; 该发送节点所处网 络位置状况是指与 UE相邻的节点是不是在网络覆盖范围内; 通信模式是指 UE与其 相邻的 UE的连接方式是采用 D2D直接通信的 D2D通信方式还是需要通过蜂窝通信 的方式; 下一跳节点标识为 UE传递信息给当前连接节点的网络节点是哪一个, 以表 明是否存在中继。 在表 1〜表 5中的 "可选"是指该表项是可选项, 在一些优选的实施方式中, 可以 没有该表项或者不对该表项进行配置。 在建立通信前, D2D通信管理实体通过 eNBl将通信路由信息下发给 UE A、 UE B 和 UE D, UE C通过 UE A转发获得, 同时 eNBl从 D2D通信管理实体获得属于自身 的通信路由表信息。 当节点 UE C想要发送数据包给节点 UE B,首先依据路由信息判断是否路线可达, 判断得出可以通过路径 UE C→ UE A→ eNB 1→UE B实现。 eNB 1在转发 UE A到 UE B 数据时, 可以使用经过服务网关 (Serving Gateway, 简称为 S-GW) /分组数据网网关 (Packet Data Network Gateway, 简称为 P-GW) 的方式, 也可以采用本地路由 (Local Switch) 方式实现, 具体需由 eNB功能和网络运营商策略等决定。 优选实施例四 本实施例描述的是跨 eNB进行 D2D通信场景建立通信路由表信息的过程样例。 图 9是根据本发明优选实施例的跨 eNB进行 D2D通信场景建立通信路由表信息 的过程的示意图, 参照图 9所示, 该过程包括的步骤如下: 对于分属于不同 eNB的 D2D UE进行 D2D通信时, 两 eNB间首先需要建立相同 组内 UE的路由数据, 当存在 X2通信接口时通过 X2接口时直接进行数据的传递, 当 不存在 X2通信接口时, 需通过规范定义的 S 1接口进行数据的传递。 在网络范围扩展场景里, UE A、 UE B、 UE C、 UE D、 UE E为 D2D通信使能的 UE, 其中 UE A、 UE B、 UE D在 eNBl的网络覆盖范围内, UE E在 e B2的网络覆 盖范围内, UE C不在 eNB 1和 e B2的网络覆盖范围内但是在 UE A的 D2D通信范围 内,而且 UE A具备中继功能,可以接收并转发 D2D通信以及蜂窝通信, eNBl和 e B2 之间存在 X2通信接口。 在进行 UE间 D2D通信之初 UE A、 UE B、 UE D向 D2D通信管理实体和 eNBl 申请发现信号和无线资源, 或通过竞争等其它方式获得发现信号和无线资源, 获取资 源后按规则发送发现信号, 从而依据从邻近 UE反馈的响应中获取与邻近 UE的相邻 关系和 /或链路状况, 然后通过 eNBl发送给 D2D通信管理实体; UE E向 D2D通信管 理实体和 e B2 申请发现信号和无线资源, 或通过竞争等其它方式获得发现信号和无 线资源, 获取资源后按规则发送发现信号, 从而依据从邻近 UE反馈的响应中获取与 邻近 UE的相邻关系和 /或链路状况,然后通过 e B2发送给 D2D通信管理实体;此外, 网络覆盖外的 UE C通过与其相邻的与 eNBl有连接关系的 UE A获取发现信号和无线 资源, 获取资源后按规则发送发现信号, 从而依据从邻近 UE反馈的响应中获取与邻 近 UE的相邻关系和 /或链路状况,然后再通过 UE A传递给 eNBl,再最终传递回 D2D 通信管理实体。 D2D通信管理实体依据各 UE反馈的邻近 UE的相邻关系, 建立 UE 间的拓扑连接关系, 再依据 eNBl和 e B2的信息, 建立 UE A、 UE B、 UE C、 UE D、 UE E、 eNBl和 eNB2的路由信息表。 在建立路由信息表时, UE的相邻关系将 eNBl 和 e B2视作为透明, 且 eNBl和 e B2之间也为透明连接; 此外, UE间的数据传递 可通过 e B间直接转发传递,是否需要再经过核心网 CN进行传递,可由 e B能力和 /或网络运营商策略等决定。 表 6〜表 12分别示出了相应的路由表信息, 如下表所示: 表 6 eNBl的路由表信息

D2D通信管理实体通过 e B要求相关 D2D UE反馈上报与其它 UE的相邻关系和 /或链路状况信息; UE进行与其它 UE间的相邻关系监测, 获取与其它 UE间的相邻关系的变化状况 及链路状况信息等;
UE通过 eNB向 D2D通信管理实体反馈变化了的与其它 UE间的相邻关系, 反馈 信息可以采用差量修改形式, 以减少消息中携带的数据量, UE也可以采用完全反馈自 己获得的最新的与其它 UE间的相邻关系; 依据实际需要, D2D通信管理实体可以通过 eNB向 UE确认收到上报的信息结果。
D2D通信管理实体收到变化后的 UE与其它 UE间的相邻关系后, 重新进行路由 计算, 对所关联的节点路由信息进行更新。 更新后的路由信息, 通过 eNB向受影响的 UE或所有相关 UE进行发送, 发送可以差量形式, 也可以采用整表下发形式。 优选实施例六 本实施例描述的是 D2D UE都处于无网络覆盖时, 通信路由信息的建立与管理的 过程。 图 11是根据本发明优选实施例的 D2DUE都处于无网络覆盖时通信路由信息的建 立与管理的过程的示意图, 参照图 11所示, 该过程包括的步骤如下:
UEA、 UEB、 UEC、 UED、 UEE、 UE F处于无网络覆盖下的 D2D UE, 它们为
D2D通信使能的 UE, 且都可为其它 UE进行中继通信。
UEA〜UEF依据地理位置协商确定某 UE为中央控制节点(也可能有多个中央控 制节点),和 /或 UEA〜UEF通过协商或事先设定某一 UE作为簇头(或称为组主等), 如 UEA为簇头, 其功能类似于 UE在网络覆盖里的 D2D通信管理实体, 负责对 D2D UE进行 D2D通信管理。 其对通信资源的分配与管理方式由具体资源管理方式确定。 各 UE从簇头或通过竞争方式获取发现信号和相应无线资源, 依据邻近 UE的反 馈响应, 获取与邻近 UE的相邻关系和 /或链路状况等信息; 与 D2D通信管理实体 (UEA) 有直接相邻的 UE (如 UEB, UE C, UED) 将 所获取的上述信息发送给 D2D通信管理实体, 未与 D2D通信管理实体有直接相邻的 UE (如 UEE、 UEF), 将所获取的上述信息, 发送给与 D2D通信管理实体有直接相 邻的具有转发功能的一个 UE并通过其转发给 D2D通信管理实体(如 UEE首先向 UE B发送所获取的信息, UEB再转发给作为 D2D通信管理实体的 UE A)。
D2D通信管理实体接收到包含 D2DUE的相邻关系信息的消息后, 生成网络拓扑 连接关系, 进而为需要中继的 UE建立通信路由信息表; 通信路由信息表项字段至少 包括: 组内节点标识, 下一跳转发节点标识。 表 13〜表 18分别示出了相应的路由表信息, 如下表所示: 表 13 UE A的路由表信息

与 D2D通信管理实体直接相邻的 D2D UE获取由 D2D通信管理实体下发的通信 路由信息表(如 UE B、 UE C、 UE D可直接获取由作为 D2D通信管理实体的 UE A下 发的通信路由信息表); 未与 D2D通信管理实体直接相邻的 UE通过其它与 D2D通信 管理实体相邻的一个 UE转递 D2D通信管理实体下发的通信路由信息表 (如 UE E通 过具有中继功能的 UE B获得由作为 D2D通信管理实体的 UE A下发的通信路由信息 表); 当 D2D UE的相邻关系发生变化后, D2D UE应及时将所发生变化的信息发送给
D2D通信管理实体, 以对相应的通信路由信息进行变更; 更新的路由信息采用差量方 式推送, 或采用全新发送方式; 在进行 D2D UE通信时,路由信息的生成与更新可根据 UE的请求和 /或 D2D通信 管理实体主动推送方式进行; 优选实施例七 本实施例描述的是依据路由信息进行 D2D UE间通信的过程。 图 12是根据本发明优选实施例的依据路由信息进行 D2D UE间通信的过程的示意 图, 如图 12所示, 该流程包括的步骤如下:
D2D UE在进行与其它 UE的单播通信、 进行组通信和 /或广播通信时, D2D UE 和 /或 eNB已获得路由信息。 D2D UE发起 D2D通信时, 依据获取的路由信息确定是否可以与欲与之通信的相 应 UE进行通信; 当确定可进行通信时, 按照获取的路由信息发送数据包到邻近 UE 进行相应的通信; 当确定与欲与之通信的相应 UE不可达时, 放弃此次通信。 当可作为中继且中继使能的 D2D UE收到数据包后, 检测收到的数据包的目标地 址, 若是 UE本身的数据包, 则表明数据包是发送给自己的; 若不是 UE本身的数据 包时,则查找路由信息表中对应于目标地址节点对应的下一跳节点标识以及通信模式, 对于在通信路由信息表中未直接配有通信模式时, 通过下一跳节点标识获得相应通信 模式, 下一跳节点标识为 UE时, 采用 D2D通信模式, 下一跳节点标识为 eNB时, 采用蜂窝通信模式, 然后根据对应的通信模式对数据包组装并将该数据包转发给下一 跳节点, 由下一跳节点再依据收到的数据包和通信路由表信息完成相应的通信过程。 通信模式可以为 D2D通信或蜂窝通信, D2D通信表明是通过 UE间进行转发, 按
D2D通信模式给目标地址转发数据包; 蜂窝通信表明是通过 eNB进行数据包的转发, UE将数据通过 eNB蜂窝通信模式转发给相应的 UE。 通信模式依据通信策略由 D2D 通信管理实体确定在路由信息中。 优选实施例八 本实施例描述的是 D2D UE进行 D2D通信组的组通信生成路由信息的过程。 图 13a和图 13b是根据本发明优选实施例的 D2D UE进行 D2D通信组的组通信生 成路由信息的过程的示意图, 参照图 13a和图 13b所示, 该流程包括的步骤如下: 假设节点 、 B、 C、 D、 E属于通信组 X, 且组内的节点 A希望将数据包发送到 组内的所有其他节点的场景。由于节点 D和 E不在节点 A—跳可达范围内,则需要由 组内的其他节点进行数据包转发发送。如图 13a所示, 与节点 D邻近的通信组 X内的 节点有两个, 分别为节点 B和 C, 如果节点 B和 C都进行转发则存在资源浪费, 因此 最好能根据通信组 X的节点分布拓扑, 根据节点的连通情况建立最小生成树, 限定中 继节点的转发。 如图 13b所示, 从节点 A发出的到通信组 X的数据包, 只有节点 B 以及节点 D进行转发, 由于节点 C在最小生成树上只有一条关联边, 因此抑制转发功 台 g匕
匕。 对于最小生成树上, 关连边≥2的具备中继能力的节点, 需要保存一张 D2D通信 转发表, 该表记录 D2D通信地址, 通信模式以及之前收到的数据包索引。 表 19是针 对图 13a所示的实例的转发表实例: 表 19 转发表实例
Figure imgf000043_0001
当节点 B收到数据包目标地址为 D2D通信地址而且数据包的索引大于转发表中 的最新数据包索引或是尚未出现过时, 节点 B解析该数据包, 并根据对应的通信模式 转发数据包, 否则节点 B丢弃该数据包。 节点 B完成对数据包的转发后, 更新数据包 索引。 当转发节点发生变化时, 如转发节点消失和 /或新增了转发节点, D2D通信管理实 体应为相应节点及时更新相应 D2D通信转发表;
D2D通信管理实体可通过 D2D UE主动请求或主动推送方式将转发信息下发给中 继使能且需要进行组通信转发的通信组内节点。 优选实施例九 本实施例描述的是通信过程中对流量预示控制的过程。 图 14是根据本发明优选实施例的通信过程中对流量预示控制的过程的示意图,参 照图 14所示, 该过程包括的步骤如下: 在通信开始之初, 由发起通信的节点向 D2D通信管理实体发送流量开始预示, 如 流量目的地址、 持续时间等;
D2D通信管理实体收到流量预示后, 在必要时向所涉及的中继节点发送最新的路 由信息, 直到 D2D通信管理实体收到流量结束指示。 优选实施例十 本实施例描述的是网络覆盖内和 /或网络范围扩展场景里, 通信过程对 DRX配合 的过程。 图 15是根据本发明优选实施例的网络覆盖内和 /或网络范围扩展场景下通信过程 对 DRX配合的过程的示意图, 参照图 15所示, 该过程包括的步骤如下: 在网络覆盖内和 /或网络范围扩展场景里, e B为网络覆盖内的 D2D UE配置相同 的 DRX参数; 当 eNB收到有需 eNB进行转发的数据时, eNB首先判断下一跳的 D2D UE是否 进入了 DRX状态; 若 D2D UE 进入了 DRX 状态, 在等到该 UE 的下一次激活持续时间上 (on duration/active time) 发送; 否则按转发地址给相应的 UE发送数据; 组通信时,若 eNB计划将数据通过组播发送给通信组内由该 eNB提供服务的 D2D UE时, 若有 D2D UE进入 DRX状态, 在该 UE的激活持续时间上通过 PDCCH发送 组通信预通知; 等待通信组内且该 eNB所服务的 D2D UE都进入连续接收状态后, 再 发送组播数据包。 工业实用性 通过本发明实施例, 采用 D2D通信管理实体向 D2D UE发送用于 D2D通信的路 由信息的方式, 解决了相关技术中没有采用路由信息方式提供适用于 D2D UE通过中 继与其他 D2D UE进行通信的解决方案的问题, 从而提供了一种基于路由信息的 D2D UE之间通信的解决方案。 显然, 本领域的技术人员应该明白, 上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可以用通用 的计算装置来实现, 它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上, 或者分布在多个计算装置所 组成的网络上, 可选地, 它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现, 从而, 可以 将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行, 或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模 块, 或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块来实现。 这样, 本发明 不限制于任何特定的硬件和软件结合。 以上上述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已, 并不用于限制本发明, 对于本领域的技 术人员来说, 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的精神和原则之内, 所作的 任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
