Description

多路径传输方法、 系统及数据发送装置和数据接收装置
技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域, 尤指一种无线多路径传输方法、 系统及 无线数据发送装置和无线数据接收装置。 背景技术
在无线蜂窝通信系统中, 基站 (eNB , 或 Base Station )是为用户设备 ( UE, User Equipment ) , 也可称为终端 terminal提供无线接入的设备, 基站 与用户设备之间通过电磁波进行无线通信。 一个基站可能提供一个或多个服 务小区, 无线通信系统通过 Λ良务小区可以为一定地理范围内的终端提供无线 覆盖。
无线通信系统为了能够大范围的为用户提供无线通信, 需要部署覆盖范 围大的基站, 这种基站通常称为宏基站(Macro eNB/Macro BS, Macro Base Station ) , 其服务小区通常称为宏小区 (Macro Cell ) 。 另外, 考虑到用户的 不同需求和不同使用环境, 无线通信系统需要在某些环境或者场景下为用户 提供弥补覆盖空洞或提供更高质量的无线通信服务, 因此, 一些覆盖范围 小、 发射功率较低的小型基站或称为传输节点 (TP, Transmission Point )被 釆用。 这些小型基站包括微基站 ( Pico eNB或 Pico BS )和仔基站( Femto eNB 或 Femto BS ) , 其中, 仔基站也可以称为家庭基站(ΗΝΒ或 HeNB ) 、 毫微 微基站或飞基站, 微基站和家庭基站提供的小区称为微小区(pico cell )和毫 微微小区(femtocell )。 与小型基站对应的节点又称为低功率节点( LPN, Low Power Node ) , 这些节点对应的小区又称为小小区 ( small cell ) 。
无线蜂窝通信系统在演进过程中逐渐发展出了多种制式, 例如第二代移 动通信技术如全球移动通信系统 ( GSM , Global System for Mobile Communications ) , 码分多址 ( CDMA, Code Division Multiple Access ) , 第 三代移动通信技术如宽带码分多址 (WCDMA , Wideband Code Division Multiple Access ) , 时 分 同 步码 分 多 址 ( TD-SCDMA , Time Division- Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access ) , CDMA-2000 , 全球互 通微波接入 ( Wimax, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ) , 演 进的第三代或第四代移动通信技术如长期演进 ( LTE , Long Term Evolution ) , LTE-A高级长期演进( LTE-Advanced ) , Wimax2.0。 其中, 有 些技术又有对应的接入网名称, 例如 GSM对应 GSM/EDGE 无线接入网 ( GERAN, GSM EDGE Radio Access Network ) , WCDMA和 TD-SCDMA 对应通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入网 (UTRAN, UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network ) , LTE/LTE-A对应演进的 UTRAN ( E-UTRAN ) 。 除了无 线蜂窝通信系统之外, 无线通信系统还包括无线局域网 (WLAN, Wireless Local Access Network , 或称为无线保真 WIFI ) , 其空口标准为 ΙΕΕΕ802.11 系列标准, 包括 802.11a, 802.11η, 802.11ac等, 它们支持的最高传输速率 是不同的。 由于 WIFI频谱是免费的并且 WIFI芯片的成本低廉, 无线局域网 接入点( AP , Access Point , 也可以称为接入节点 )的部署和应用可以为运营 商和用户提供一种廉价的无线接入和负荷分流的途径, WIFI AP也可以视作 一种低功率节点。 目前, 无线通信技术正在向第五代(5G )发展。 各种无线 通信技术 (包括 5G无线通信技术和相关的无线通信技术)可能将长期共存。
图 1为相关技术的多模基站的异构网络示意图, 如图 1所示, 在多层异 构网络中, 各种类型各种制式的基站 /小区同时共存, 例如宏基站、 微基 站, 宏小区、 小小区, LTE, WIFI/WLAN共存。 目前, 业界部署的多模小 基站通常都支持三种甚至三种以上制式, 比如 UMTS, LTE (包括 FDD-LTE 和 /或 TDD-LTE )和 WLAN ) , 还可能支持第二代、 第三代、 和 /或第五代无 线通信技术的制式) 。
如图 1所示, 不同的基站之间为了充分利用不同小区和 /或不同制式的资 源, 在如图 2所示的相关技术的实现多路径传输方法的示意图中, 一个用户 的数据通过多条即两条或两条以上路径传输, 此时会存在一个锚点 ( anchor ) , 图 2中以 MeNB ( Macro eNB )为锚点为例, 作为锚点的 MeNB 会将用户数据进行分发, 一部分数据, 比如图 2中的数据包 1 , 数据包 3和 数据包 5 , 由 MeNB自身发给 UE, 另一部分数据, 比如图 2中的数据包 2和 数据包 4 ) , 则转发给小基站(SeNB, Small eNB )后由小基站发给 UE。 这 样, 在相关技术的多路径传输方法中, UE会从来自 MeNB和来自 SeNB的两 条链路接收数据。
如果来自 MeNB和来自 SeNB的两条链路都正常, 那么, UE从 MeNB 接收到数据包 1 , 数据包 3和数据包 5 , 并从 SeNB接收到数据包 2和数据包 4, 从而使 UE接收到完整的数据。 但是, 假设来自 SeNB的链路出现问题, 那么数据包 2和数据包 4将无法经该链路送达 UE, 这样会造成整个数据传输 出现问题。 以一个 TCP传输应用为例, 如 FTP下载, 此时, 由于数据包 2和 数据包 4的投递失败, TCP传输可能会中断或者遭遇显著的吞吐量下降。 类 似地, 如果来自 MeNB的链路出现问题, 数据包 1 , 数据包 3和数据包 5将 无法经 MeNB送达 UE, 致使整个数据传输出现问题。
在相关技术的多路径传输方法中, 出现整个数据传输失败的根源在于数 据包在锚点处分发时是简单将数据包分发给不同链路传输的, 而无线链路的 相匹配。 而且, 即便每条链路都可以正常工作, 但每条链路的时延以及分配 给该用户的带宽很可能不同, 理想的分法应该根据每条链路给用户分配的带 宽按比例的分发, 但实际上无线链路中每条链路给用户分配的带宽是动态变 化、 难以预知的, 因此, 由于多条路径的分发策略难以匹配每条链路的实际 状态情况, 于是出现了给差的链路分发了过多的数据包, 而给好的链路分发 了过少的数据包, 导致了数据传输效率大大受限, 吞吐量的下降和时延的上 升。 最恶劣的情况就是, 某条链路出现拥塞或者链路失败时, 整个数据传输 都会被中断了。

本发明的较佳实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本发明的实施例进行详细说明。 需要说明的是, 在 不冲突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。 图 3为本发明实施例的无线多路径传输方法的流程图, 如图 3所示, 包 括以下步骤:
步骤 300: 数据发送端将多个原始数据包进行编码, 编码后的数据包的 个数大于原始数据包的个数。
本步骤中, 原始数据包可以是分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP, Packet Data
Convergence Protocol )服务数据单元( SDU )或协议数据单元( PDU, Protocol Data Unit ) 。
假设数据发送端对 K个 PDCP数据包进行编码, 产生 N个空口数据包; 其中, 在 N个编码后的数据包中, 前 K个数据包仍然是编码前的 K个原始 PDCP数据包, 后 (N-K)个数据包是冗余包。 这里, K和 N是大于 1 的正整 数, 并且 N > K。 原始数据包和编码后数据包的个数比 (即 Κ/Ν )称为编码 整。 比如, 传输链路状态都良好和稳定的情况下 (例如在宏基站和小基站双 连接传输的情况下) , 可以适当降低编码的码率, 减少冗余包的数据, 以减 轻编解码复杂度和传输开销; 又如, 如果数据发送端认为传输链路波动比较 大, 甚至有可能出现传输链路断开的可能(例如在切换的场景下) , 那么, 可以适当增加码率和冗余包数量, 以更有效的对抗传输中的不可预测因素, 保证数据接收端在最短时间内接收到足够的数据包以恢复出原始数据包; 再 如, 链路 Α比较稳定但能提供的带宽有限(例如 LTE宏基站链路), 而链路 B不太稳定但能提供的最大带宽很大(例如 WLAN链路, 或 LTE非授权频段 链路, 或中继链路) 的情况下, 可以釆用较大的码率和较大的编码包数量, 在分发时给链路 A较多的原始包, 给链路 B较多的冗余包, 这样, 如果链路 B变差了, 则接收端通过链路 A的原始包能非常有效的获得所需的数据, 而 如果链路 B很好, 则接收端通过接收链路 A的少量原始包和链路 B的大量冗 余包也能够最快的接收到足够的数据包以解码还原出所有的原始包。
本步骤中, 数据发送端可以在 PDCP层对原始数据包进行编码; 或者, 在无线链路控制 (RLC, Radio Link Control )层对原始数据包进行编码。
本步骤之前, 还包括: 数据发送端对原始数据包进行 PDCP头压缩; 或 者, 数据发送端对原始数据包进行 PDCP层加密。 本步骤中的编码可以是前向纠错编码(FEC ) 。
本步骤中, 编码后的数据包头中携带有序号; 或者, 携带有表示是否进 行编码的指示信息和序号;
可选地, 编码后的数据包头中还携带有用于表示编码传输进程的进程标 识, 以便支持对不同进程数据包的独立的编解码操作, 这样实现了支持在上 一进程尚未结束时就开始下一进程的传输, 也就是说, 支持多个进程同时并 行的传输。 接收端。
本步骤中, 数据发送端可以根据编码的码率、 和 /或链路状况、 和 /或链 确定釆用哪些传输链路来发送数据包, 和每个传输链路上传输数据包的个数 (或称各条链路上传输数据包的比例) 。 如根据不同链路的状态、 确定实际 参与数据包传输的链路(例如仅选择链路信道质量好和 /或负载低的 2条或 3 条链路参与数据包的传输) , 确定哪些传输链路上传输多少数据包、 传输哪 些数据包。 如根据不同链路的状态调整不同链路的数据分发策略, 这里不做 限定, 也不用于限定本发明的保护范围, 只要满足在部分链路数据传输异常 (例如丟包、 包延迟很大、 甚至链路断开) 的情况下, 数据接收端总能还原 出原始数据包即可, 具体实现策略很多, 在本发明实施例提供的方法的基础 上, 本领域技术人员是容易想到的。 比如, 按照各条链路能够为该用户提供 的带宽之比来分发数据包: 比如链路 A能提供的带宽是链路 B能提供的带宽 的 2倍, 那么分发策略可以是每给链路 A分 2个包, 再给链路 B分 1个包, 这样依次分发; 当链路 B能提供的带宽增加时, 比如由于链路 B的信道的持 续变好, 那么, 可以调整分发策略, 给链路 B分发更多的数据包。 又比如, 考虑到直接获得原始包比从冗余包恢复原始包更简单有效, 可以将原始包更 多地分配给链路状态更好或更稳定的链路, 而将冗余包更多地分配给链路状 态不好或者不稳定的链路; 如果两条链路都不稳定或者难以预测是否稳定, 比如在切换的情况下, 那么分发策略可以是给每条链路都分配一些原始包和 冗余包。 本步骤中, 不同传输链路可以包括: 宏小区链路和小小区链路; 或者, 源小区链路和目标小区链路;
或者, LTE链路和非 LTE制式的链路, 其中, 非 LTE制式的链路包括无 线局域网 (WLAN )链路和 /或第三代蜂窝通信(3G )链路;
或者, LTE授权频段链路和 LTE非授权频段链路, 或者包括 LTE授权频 段链路和 LTE共享频段链路, 或者包括频分双工 (FDD )链路和时分双工 ( TDD )链路, 或者包括 LTE低频段链路和 LTE高频段链路, 或者 4G (第 4代无线通信)和 5G (第 5代无线通信), 甚至在 3G和无线局域网(WLAN ) 的联合传输等场景下都可以釆用本发明实施例的方法。
本步骤中, 传输链路可以是下行传输链路, 此时, 数据发送端为网络 侧, 数据接收端为 UE;
或者, 传输链路可以是上行传输链路, 此时, 数据发送端为 UE, 数据 接收端为网络侧;
或者, 传输链路可以是中继传输链路, 此时, 数据收发双方为基站和中 继节点, 或者中继节点和中继节点;
或者, 传输链路可以是设备到设备(D2D )通信链路, 此时, 数据收发 双方都为 UE。
本步骤中, 在传输链路为下行传输链路时, 还包括: 位于网络侧的基站 通知 UE编码的配置信息, UE根据编码的配置信息进行数据解码; 其中编码 的配置信息可以包括但不限于: 用于编码的数据包的个数、 编码的码率等。
在传输链路为上行传输链路时, 还包括: 数据接收端所在网络侧的基站 通知 UE编码的配置信息, 数据发送端的 UE根据编码的配置信息进行数据编 码;
本发明实施例还包括: 网络侧通知 UE 启动或者退出编码数据传输模 式。
步骤 302: 数据接收端接收来自不同传输链路的数据包, 并进行解码后 获得原始数据包。
本步骤中, 数据接收端根据数据包头中携带的序号和数据包内容进行解 码, 还原为原始数据包;
可选地, 接收端根据进程标识进行解码, 具体来说, 就是接收端将进程 标识相同的数据包放在同一緩存中并进行解码。
数据接收端在成功获取原始数据后, 本发明实施例的方法还包括: 数据 接收端向数据发送端反馈成功接收信息, 数据发送端则终止传输所述编码后 的数据包中剩余的, 与解码获得的原始数据包有关的数据, 并开始新一轮原 始数据的传输, 并指示接收端发送的是新数据。
这里, 如果原始的 K个数据包经编码产生 N个数据包, 因为编码后的数 据包的个数大于原始数据包的个数, 即N>K, 有可能数据发送端传输了不到 N个数据包, 假如传输了 M个编码后的数据包(Κ≤Μ<Ν ) , 数据接收端已 经通过这 M个数据包成功解码获取了这 K个原始数据包, 这种情况下,数据 发送端将终止传输剩余的 N-M个编码数据包。
另外, 新数据指示可以基于进程标识实现或者说通过进程标识来表示, 以 3个 bit的进程标识为例, 如果当前传输的进程标识有 2个, 比方说包括 010, 011 , 当数据接收端反馈成功完成进程标识为 010的数据解码时, 则数 据发送端开始新一轮的数据传输并将进程标识设置为 100; 也可以通过进程 标识以外的字段来表示, 比如用 1~2个比特表示, 当发送新一轮数据时将该 字段递增, 以 1个比特为例, 发送新一轮数据时该字段递增相当于将该字段 翻转, 如果上一轮该字段为 0 , 则新一轮发送时该字段为 1 , 如果上一轮该 字段为 1 , 则新一轮发送时该字段为 0, 再以 2个比特为例, 如果上一轮该字 段为 00 , 则新一轮发送时该字段设置为 01 , 再下一轮发送时该字段设置为 10 , 再往下为 11 , 之后再到 00。 这样, 如果接收端之前已成功解码字段为 00的数据包, 则数据接收端收到字段设置为 01 的数据就表明开始了新一轮 数据的传输, 数据接收端应该在成功解码字段为 00 的数据包后将该緩存清 空, 或者在接收到新一轮字段为 01的数据时将之前字段为 00的数据的緩存 清空, 并开始緩存新一轮的数据; 或者,
数据接收端接收到数据包后, 本发明实施例的方法还包括: 数据接收端 向数据发送端反馈已成功接收, 以及未成功接收或未接收到的包的序号; 数 据发送端根据反馈的信息确定数据接收端是否已成功获取原始数据包, 如果 判断为成功, 则终止传输所述编码后的数据包中剩余的, 与解码获得的原始 数据包有关的数据, 并开始新一轮原始数据的传输, 并指示接收端发送的是 新数据; 否则, 数据发送端继续传输当前的数据。
支持多进程传输和上述反馈的结合有效地提高了传输的效率, 减少了传 输开销。 比如在数据发送端进行进程 01 的数据发送时, 先发送足够接收端 解码还原原始数据包的编码数据包(如 PDCP或 RLC PDU ) , 由于底层的传 输需要时间, 数据接收端的反馈也需要时间, 这时, 数据发送端如果继续传 输进程为 01 的编码数据包, 则可能继续传输的数据是多余的或不必要传输 的, 如果什么都不发送仅仅等待底层的传输和数据接收端的反馈, 则可能浪 费了这段时间的传输机会, 降低了链路利用率和吞吐量, 于是, 更好的方法 是在这段时间进行新进程(进程 10 ) 的数据发送, 直到收到数据接收端的反 理, 例如如果数据接收端反馈成功解码进程 01 的数据包, 则发送端可以将 进程 01 的后续数据包清空, 如果收到底层链路的传输失败报告或者发送链 路状态异常, 则继续传输更多的进程 01 的编码数据包以提供更多的编码数 据包供接收端解码。 这样不仅充分利用了链路带宽, 而且保持了较小的传输 开销。
本发明实施例的方法中, 通过将原始数据包进行编码(编码后的数据包 的个数大于原始数据包的个数)后再进行分发, 灵活实现了多路径传输数 据, 并且, 在对编码后的数据包进行分发时, 进一步结合编码的配置信息进 行考虑, 高效地利用了每条链路提供的资源为用户数据传输服务, 减少了传 输时延。
下面将对本发明实施例的方法进行详细描述。
图 4 为本发明第一实施例的无线多路径传输方法的示意图, 如图 4 所 示, 第一实施例以双连接 ( dual connectivity ) 架构中的下行数据发送为例, 图 4中, 原始数据包用不同序号如 1 , 2, 3 , 4和 5进行区分, 冗余包为阴影 小方格表示。
在第一实施例中, 假设 MeNB通过 S1-U接口接收到用户数据, 并在层 2 分发之前进行 FEC编码, 第一实施例中, 假设釆用 1/2码率输入未编码的 5 个数据包, 输出 10 个数据包。 在编码后的数据包中, 携带有包头, 包头中 携带数据包的序号, 用于解码后按照顺序还原数据包; 或者, 包头中携带表 示该数据包是否编码的指示信息以及数据包的序号。
如图 4 所示, 编码后的 10 个数据包中, 部分数据包可以被转发给 SeNB, 这样, UE可以通过两条路径即 MeNB链路和 SeNB链路接收数据 包。 由于两条链路信道状况不同、 MeNB/SeNB 的调度策略不同等原因, 两 条链路的数据包到达 UE的先后顺序以及从每条链路到达的数据包的个数可 能都不同, 但是, 只要不是所有的链路都断开, UE 总是能收到足够多的数 据包(有可能和原来的数据包个数一样, 也可能多于原来的数据包个数) , 然后, UE对收到的数据包进行解码并按照序号还原为原始的数据包。
假设两条链路的状况都运作良好, 如图 4所示, 这里以 UE有 3个数据 包来自 MeNB, 2个数据包来自 SeNB为例, 如图 4中的 (a)所示, UE对这些 数据包进行解码后恢复出原始的 5个数据包; 或者, 假设 SeNB链路传输失 败如断开, UE收到的 5个数据包都来自 MeNB , 如图 4中的 (b)所示, 并且这 5 个数据包就能恢复出原始的 5 个数据包; 或者, 假设 MeNB链路传输失 败, UE收到的 5个冗余包都来自 SeNB, 如图 4中的 (c)所示, UE对冗余包 进行解码恢复出原始的 5个数据包。
在 UE解码成功后, UE可以向数据发送端( MeNB和 /或 SeNB )反馈以 通知数据发送端终止传输所述编码后的数据包中剩余的, 与解码获得的原始 数据包有关的数据。 这样, 数据发送端可以继续后续传输工作。
由于从 MeNB进行编码到分发这些数据包到 SeNB可能需要经历一段时 延, 本发明实施例中, 还包括: 在编码数据包的包头中携带用于表示数据传 输进程的进程标识信息(process ID ) 。 UE同时接收 N ( N>=2 )个编码数据 传输进程的数据包, 并且根据进程标识对每个进程的数据包分别进行解码, 即本发明实施例的方法支持多个编码数据传输进程。 这样, 在空口可以同时 传输一个或一个以上编码数据包组, 避免了空口传输效率的损失。
第一实施例中, 可以在 PDCP层进行编 /解码, 具体来说包括: 数据发送端在添加 PDCP 包头之前进行 FEC 包编码, 比如可以在进行 PDCP层头压缩后进行包编码, 或者在加密后进行包编码。 优选地, 在加密 后进行包编码, 这样不用额外增加加密的包数量, 减少了运算复杂度; 编码后加上包头, 其中携带包的序号, 或者包的序号和是否编码的指 示, 如果支持多进程, 则再携带进程标识。 比如使用 PDCP包头的 12bit SN 表示包的序号, 使用 PDCP包头的保留位表示进程标识(使用 3个 bit的保留 位的 1个或 2个或 3个, 可以分别表示 2个或 4个或 8个进程 ) ; 或者, 使 用保留位的 1个 bit表示是否编码的指示信息, 2个 bit表示进程标识, 这样 可以不增加额外的包头开销。 再如, 使用新的字段表示编码包的序号 (比如 4~6个 bit ) , 1个 bit表示是否编码指示(或者是否原始包 /冗余包) , 2~3个 bit表示进程标识等;
数据接收端在解码 PDCP包头时, 可以根据携带的信息进行 FEC解码。 在数据发送端重用 PDCP相关包头的情况下, 数据接收端可以通过 PDCP控 制 PDU如 PDCP状态报告 ( status report )向数据发送端反馈接收 /未接收的包 序号, 数据发送端收到状态报告后, 可以判断出数据接收端是否成功解出原 始数据包, 如果判断为成功解码出原始数据包, 则停止该进程的与这些原始 数据包相关的数据包的传输 (比如不再向 RLC投递与这些原始包相关的 PDCP PDU, 还可以指示 RLC层丟弃与这些原始包相关的 RLC SDU ); 如果 判断出未成功解码出原始数据包, 则继续该进程的与这些原始包相关的数据 包的传输(需要说明的是, 可以进一步根据对 UE还需要哪些包才能解出原 始数据包的判断, 控制继续传输的包的数量甚至继续传输哪些包) 。
在数据发送端使用新的字段表示编码包的序号时, 数据接收端可以反馈 包括编码包的序号和进程号的新定义的状态报告, 以实现和上述 PDCP状态 报告类似的反馈功能。 除了上述的基于状态报告隐含表示解码是否成功的反 馈方式以外, 还可以通过显式的方式, 比如用 1个 bit+进程标识, 向数据发 送端反馈解码成功 (或者可以开始该进程新一轮包的传输) , 这样, 数据发 送端可以停止该进程的与这些原始数据包相关的数据包的传输。 数据的分发 可以在 PDCP层也可以在 RLC层。
第一实施例中, 编 /解码可以在 RLC层, 优选地, 数据包为 RLC SDU (即 PDCP PDU ) , 这样效率较高, 并且数据也在 RLC层分发。 同时, 可以 利用 RLC层的状态报告机制, 以实现与 PDCP层状态报告机制类似的功能。 这种方式下, 也需要增加新的字段或者子包头以表示编码包的序号 (比方说
4~6个 bit ) , 1个 bit表示是否编码指示(或者是否原始包 /冗余包) , 2~3个 bit表示进程标识。 数据接收端在解 PDCP 包头时, 可以根据这些信息进行 FEC解码。
第一实施例是以下行传输为例, 具体实现中, 也可以用于多种传输中, 包括下行传输、 上行传输、 中继传输、 D2D传输等。 在这些传输中, 编解码 配置可以由网络侧执行。 比如, 在下行传输中, 网络侧通知 UE编码的配置 信息, UE根据编码的配置信息进行数据解码; 在上行传输中, 网络侧通知 UE编码的配置信息, UE根据编码的配置信息进行数据编码; 在 D2D传输 中, 网络侧通知进行通信的 UE对( UE peer )进行编码 /解码的配置信息(也 可以由 UE自行配置, 例如在无网络覆盖的情况下) 。
第一实施例中, 网络侧还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整编码的配 置, 比如, 在两条传输链路的传输状况比较稳定的情况下, 降低码率, 或者 在传输状况不稳定的情况下, 提高码率等。 相关的信令可以通过 RRC 消息 或者 L2的控制信息 ( Control element )传递。
第一实施例中, 数据发送端还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整不同 传输链路的数据分发策略: 比如, 在 MeNB链路较好时, 将更多的数据包通 过 MeNB传输; 或者, 在 SeNB链路较好时, 将更多的数据包通过 SeNB传 输。
图 5 为本发明第二实施例的无线多路径传输方法的示意图, 如图 5 所 示, 第二实施例以切换过程中的多路径数据传输为例, 图 5中, 原始数据包 用不同序号如 1 , 2, 3 , 4和 5进行区分, 冗余包为阴影小方格表示。
如图 5所示, 假设源基站( Source eNB )通过 S1-U接口接收到用户数据 后, 并在层 2分发之前进行 FEC编码, 假设釆用 5/12码率输入未编码的 5个 数据包, 输出 12 个数据包。 在编码后的数据包中, 携带有包头, 包头中携 带数据包的序号, 用于解码后按照顺序还原数据包; 或者, 包头中携带表示 该数据包是否编码的指示信息以及数据包的序号。
如图 5所示, 编码后的 12个数据包中, 部分数据包可以被转发给目标基 站(Target eNB ) , 这样, UE可以通过两条路径即源基站链路和目标基站链 路接收数据包。 由于两条链路回程线路(backhaul ) 时延不同、 信道状况不 同、 源基站 /目标基站的调度策略不同等原因, 两条链路的数据包到达 UE的 先后顺序以及从每条链路到达的数据包的个数可能都不同, 但是, 只要不是 所有的链路都断开, UE总是能收到足够多的数据包(有可能和原来的数据包 个数一样, 也可能多于原来的数据包个数), 然后, UE对收到的数据包进行 解码并按照序号还原为原始数据包。
假设两条链路的状况都运作良好, 如图 5(a)所示, 假设 UE有 3个数据包 来自源基站, 2个数据包来自目标基站, UE对这些数据包进行解码后恢复出 原始的 5个数据包; 或者, 假设目标链路失败如断开, 如图 5(b)所示, UE收 到的能够解出原始的 5个数据包的 6个数据包都来自源基站; 或者, 假设源 链路失败, UE收到的 6个(编码后的)数据包都来自目标链路, 如图 5(c) 所示, UE对这些数据包进行解码后恢复出原始的 5个数据包。
同样, 在 UE解码成功后, UE可以向数据发送端 (源基站和 /或目标基 站)反馈以通知数据发送端终止传输所述编码后的数据包中剩余的, 与解码 获得的原始数据包有关的数据。
同样, 在编码数据包的包头中携带用于表示数据传输进程的进程标识信 息 ( rocess ID ) , 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 第二实施例可以在 PDCP层进行编 /解码, 也可以在 RLC层进行 编 /解码, 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 第二实施例中, 网络侧还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整编 码的配置。 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 数据发送端还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整不同传输链路 的数据分发策略。 具体实现这里不再赘述。
图 6 为本发明第三实施例的无线多路径传输方法的示意图, 如图 6 所 示, 第三实施例以 LTE和 WLAN(WIFI)联合传输架构中的下行数据发送为 例, 图 6中, 原始数据包用不同序号如 1 , 2, 3 , 4和 5进行区分, 冗余包为 阴影小方格表示。
在第三实施例中, 在 RLC层进行编 /解码, 假设 LTE基站通过 S1-U接口 接收到用户数据, 并在层 2分发之前进行 FEC编码, 第三实施例中, 假设釆 用 5/11码率输入未编码的 5个数据包, 输出 11个数据包。 在编码后的数据 包中, 携带有包头, 包头中携带数据包的序号, 用于解码后按照顺序还原数 据包; 或者, 包头中携带表示该数据包是否编码的指示信息以及数据包的序 号。
如图 6所示, 编码后的 11个数据包中, 部分数据包可以被转发给 WLAN AP, 这样, UE可以通过两条路径即 LTE链路和 WLAN链路接收数据包。 由 于两条链路 backhaul时延不同、 信道状况不同、 调度 /资源竟争机制不同等原 因, 两条链路的数据包到达 UE的先后顺序以及从每条链路到达的数据包的 个数可能都不同, 但是, 只要不是所有的链路都断开, UE 总是能收到足够 多的数据包(有可能和原来的数据包个数一样, 也可能多于原来的数据包个 数), 然后, UE对收到的数据包进行解码并按照序号还原为原始的数据包。
假设两条链路的状况都运作良好, 如图 6中的 (a)所示, UE可能有 1个数 据包来自 LTE基站, 5个数据包来自 WLAN (如果 WLAN链路更好 )为例, 或者如图 6中的 (b)所示, UE可能有 3个数据包例子 LTE, 2个数据包来自 WLAN (如果 LTE链路更好) ; UE对这些数据包进行解码恢复出原始的 5 个数据包。 假设 LTE链路失败如断开, 如图 6中的 (c)所示, 假设 UE收到了 6个来自 WLAN链路的数据包, 并且这 6个数据包能恢复出原始的 5个数据 包; 假设 WLAN链路失败(或者 WLAN空口碰撞非常多) , 如图 6中的 (d) 所示, 假设 UE收到的 5个数据包都来自 LTE, UE对这些数据包进行解码仪 恢复出原始的 5个数据包。
同样, 在 UE解码成功后, UE可以向数据发送端(LTE eNB和 /或 WLAN AP )反馈以通知数据发送端终止传输所述编码后的数据包中剩余的, 与解码 获得的原始数据包有关的数据。
同样, 在编码数据包的包头中携带用于表示数据传输进程的进程标识信 息 ( rocess ID ) , 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 第三实施例可以在 RLC层进行编 /解码, 也可以在 PDCP层进行 编 /解码, 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 第三实施例中, 网络侧还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整编 码的配置。 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 数据发送端还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整不同传输链路 的数据分发策略。 具体实现这里不再赘述。

如图 7所示, 编码后的 12个数据包中, 部分数据包可以被转发给中继节 点 (RN, Relay Node ) , 这样, UE可以通过两条路径即 DeNB链路和通过 中继节点的链路接收数据包。 由于两条链路时延不同、 信道状况不同、 调度 策略不同等原因, 两条链路的数据包到达 UE的先后顺序以及从每条链路到 达的数据包的个数可能都不同, 但是, 只要不是所有的链路都断开, UE 总 是能收到足够多的数据包(有可能和原来的数据包个数一样, 也可能多于原 来的数据包个数), 然后, UE对收到的数据包进行解码并按照序号还原为原 始数据包。
假设在两条链路的状况都运作良好, 如图 7(a)所示, 假设 UE有 3个数据 包来自 DeNB, 2个数据包来自中继节点, UE对这些数据包进行解码后恢复 出原始的 5个数据包; 或者, 假设通过中继节点的链路失败如断开, 如图 7(b) 所示, 假设 UE收到的 6个数据包都来自 DeNB, 并且这 6个数据包能恢复原 始的 5个数据包; 或者, 假设 DeNB链路失败, UE收到的 6个数据包都来自 中继节点, UE对这些数据包进行解码恢复出原始的 5个数据包。
同样, 在 UE解码成功后, UE可以向数据发送端 ( DeNB和 /或 RN )反 馈以通知数据发送端终止传输所述编码后的数据包中剩余的, 与解码获得的 原始数据包有关的数据。 同样, 在编码数据包的包头中携带用于表示数据传输进程的进程标识信 息 ( rocess ID ) , 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 第四实施例可以在 RLC层进行编 /解码, 也可以在 PDCP层进行 编 /解码, 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 第四实施例中, 网络侧还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整编 码的配置。 具体实现这里不再赘述。
同样, 数据发送端还可以根据不同传输链路的状态, 调整不同传输链路 的数据分发策略。 具体实现这里不再赘述。
