一种数据重传的方法和装置
技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 尤其涉及一种数据重传的方法和装置。 背景技术
随着移动通信技术的发展, 第三代合作伙伴项目对峰值数据传 输速率以及系统带宽等提出了更高的要求。 为了满足这些要求, 现 有技术中, 同一个终端可以同时或分时与多个基站进行通信, 其中, 多个基站中包括一个主基站和至少一个辅基站。
该主基站和至少一个辅基站同时或分时向终端下行发送的数据 通过主基站的 PDCP ( Packet Data Convergence Protocol,分组数 据汇聚协议) 层进行分流, 即该主基站将需要传输至终端的数据分 配给不同的基站进行传输, 该终端从不同的基站接收的数据在终端 的 PDCP层进行汇聚;该终端向基站上行发送的数据通过终端的 PDCP 层进行分流, 该主基站从终端接收到的数据以及从辅基站接收到的 数据在该主基站的 PDCP层进行汇聚。 其中, 该 PDCP层支持重排序 功能, 以便在进行数据汇聚时, 实现按序向上层递交数据。
在上述过程中, 由于不同基站之间的无线网络信号的强度和传 输数据的速率存在差异, 若其中一个基站在传输数据时出现暂时丟 包的现象, 则该 PDCP层需要等待该基站重传丟包数据成功后才能重 排序成功。 因此下行和上行均可能存在由于一个基站出现问题而影 响整体传输效率的情况, 在出现问题的基站的无线网络信号条件很 差时, 重传失败的机会也较大, 则出现问题的基站不断重传不仅浪 费带宽、 而且增加延迟, 影响终端总的数据传输速率。 发明内容

示例地, 若该第一链路为分流端装置直接发送数据至终端的链 路, 则该分流端装置在确定该第一链路传输的数据中需要切换链路 传输的数据单元后, 该分流端装置停止传输该最大序列号对应的
PDCP 协议数据单元以及序列号小于该最大序列号的 PDCP 协议数据 单元, 若该 PDCP层已经将数据单元已经递交给 RLC层, 则发送切换 链路消息至该 RLC 层, 该切换链路消息包括该数据单元的全部序列 号中的最大序列号, 以便该 RLC 层根据该切换链路消息停止传输该 最大序列号对应的 RLC 协议数据单元及序列号小于该最大序列号的 RLC 协议数据单元; 若该第一链路是该主基站通过辅基站向该终端 发送数据的链路, 则该主基站在确定该第一链路中需要切换链路传 输的数据单元后, 向该辅基站发送切换链路消息, 指示该辅基站中 的 RLC层停止传输该最大序列号以下的序列号对应的 RLC协议数据 单元。
可选地, 该分流端装置在该指示该第一链路停止传输该数据单 元之前, 接收第一链路失败消息, 并根据该第一链路失败消息发起 第一链路删除过程。
其中, 该第一链路失败消息包括该汇聚端装置发送的第一链路 失败消息或者该第一链路对应的发送装置发送的第一链路失败消 息。
示例地, 该分流端装置在接收到该第一链路反馈的第一链路失 败消息后, 停止通过该第一链路向该汇聚端装置发送数据, 并将该 数据中未发送至该汇聚端装置的数据单元切换链路重传至该汇聚端 装置。
可选地, 若该第一链路的 RLC层釆用非确认模式,则该分流端装 置在该指示该第一链路停止传输该数据单元之后, 调整该第一链路 中的 RLC层的发送窗口中的状态变量。 其中, 该发送窗口中的状态变量包括该数据中的下一个待发送 数据单元的序列号。
示例地, 该分流端装置在指示该第一链路停止传输该数据单元 之前, 该 RLC 层的发送窗口中的 VTs 为 5, 若该第一链路中需要切 换链路传输的数据单元的全部序列号中的最大序列号为 5, 则在该 分流端装置在指示该第一链路停止传输该数据单元之后,由于该 RLC 层停止传输序列号小于等于 5 的全部数据单元, 因此该 RLC层的下 一个待发送的数据单元为序列号大于 5的数据单元 , 如序列号为 8 的数据单元, 则该分流端装置指示该 RLC层将发送窗口中的 VTs 由 5更新为 8。
可选地, 若该第一链路的 RLC层釆用确认模式,则该分流端装置 在该指示该第一链路停止传输该数据单元之后, 调整该第一链路中 的 RLC 层的发送窗口中的状态变量, 并指示该第一链路调整该第一 链路的 RLC层的接收窗口中的状态变量。
其中, 该发送窗口中的状态变量包括该数据中的下一个待确认 数据单元的序列号和该数据中的下一个待发送数据单元的序列号。
需要说明的是, 该第一链路中的 RLC 层包括发送端和接收端, 如图 10所示, 如该第一链路为经过该辅基站, 并由该辅基站将分流 后的数据发送至终端的链路, 则该辅基站中的 RLC层即为该发送端, 该终端中的 RLC层即为该接收端, 该 RLC层的发送窗口即为该辅基 站中的 RLC层的发送窗口,该 RLC层的接收窗口即为该终端中的 RLC 层的接收窗口, 若该第一链路的 RLC 层在确认模式下, RLC 层的发 送端在向接收端发送数据后, 可以要求接收端反馈是否正确接收, 因此, 该 RLC 层的发送窗口中的下一个待确认数据单元的序列号与 该 RLC 层接收窗口中的下一个期望接收到的数据单元的序列号相对 应, 则该分流端装置在调整 RLC 层的发送窗口后, 向该接收端发送 RLC控制消息, 指示接收端根据该 RLC控制消息对 RLC 层的接收窗 口进行相应的调整。 以便该分流端装置继续通过该第一链路向该汇 聚端装置发送除该需要切换链路传输的数据单元之外的数据。 S903、 该分流端装置通过第二链路将该数据单元重传至该汇聚 端装置。
示例地, 该分流端装置为终端, 该汇聚端装置为主基站, 且该 第一链路经过辅基站, 该辅基站与该汇聚端装置之间的无线网络信 号较弱导致该辅基站向该终端发送的数据中存在需要切换链路传输 的数据单元, 则该主基站在确定该数据中存在需要切换链路传输的 数据单元后, 指示该辅基站停止传输该数据单元, 并将该数据单元 通过该主基站发送至该终端, 即该第二链路为经过该主基站的链路。
另外, 若在终端与多个基站进行通信的系统中, 存在多个辅基 站, 且该第一链路为通过主基站发送该数据的链路时, 该主基站在 确定该数据中存在需要切换链路传输的数据单元后, 确定传输速率 快的辅基站, 并通过该辅基站将该数据单元发送至该终端。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例揭示的机制适用于任何将一路数 据分流到多个链路进行传输再汇聚的场景。 比如, 它同样适用于
MP TCP ( Multi path Transmission Control Protocol , 多路径传输 控制 协议 ) 作为 分流 I汇聚协议层 , 下 面 映射到 多 个 TCP ( Transmission Control Protocol, 传输控制十办议 )或 UDP ( User Datagram Protocol, 用户数据包协议)层的场景。 再比如, 它同样 适用于 IP作为分流 /汇聚协议层, 下面映射到多个 LTE ( Long Term Evolution,长期演进技术 ) PDCP,甚至映射到 LTE PDCP和 WiFi MAC 层的场景。
釆用上述方法, 分流端装置通过第一链路向汇聚端装置发送数 据, 并在确定该数据中存在该汇聚端装置未接收到的数据单元时, 该分流端装置指示该第一链路停止向该汇聚端装置传输该汇聚端装 置未接收到的数据单元, 并通过第二链路将该数据单元重传至所述 汇聚端装置。 这样, 在该第一链路的数据传输出现问题时, 该分流 端装置可以将该第一链路中未发送至汇聚端装置的数据单元切换由 传输速率更高的第二链路进行传输, 提高了数据重传的效率, 降低 重传延迟。 本发明实施例提供另一种数据重传的方法, 该方法应用于终端 与多个基站进行通信的系统, 如图 1 1 所示, 该方法包括:

具体地, 终端与多个基站进行通信的系统包括一个主基站、 至 少一个辅基站和终端, 则该主基站和辅基站同时或分时向终端下行 发送的数据时, 该主基站将该数据通过该主基站的 PDCP 层进行分 流, 分流后的数据在终端的 PDCP层进行汇聚, 此时, 该分流端装置 即为该主基站, 该汇聚端装置即为该终端。
另外, 该主基站将分流后的数据通过不同的链路将分流后的数 据发送至终端, 则该第一链路可能是经过该辅基站, 并由该辅基站 将分流后的数据发送至终端的链路, 该第一链路也可能是由主基站 将分流后的数据发送至终端的链路。
可选地, 该分流端装置为终端, 该汇聚端装置为主基站。
具体地, 该终端与多个基站进行通信的系统中, 该终端向基站 上行发送的数据时, 该数据通过终端的 PDCP层进行分流, 并在主基 站的 PDCP层进行汇聚, 此时该分流端装置即为该终端, 该汇聚端装 置即为该主基站, 该第一链路可能是经过该辅基站, 并由该辅基站 将分流后的数据发送至主基站的链路, 该第一链路也可能是由终端 将分流后的数据发送至主基站的链路。
进一步地, 该汇聚端装置在向该分流端装置发送该状态报告之 前, 确定该汇聚端装置未接收到的数据单元。
需要说明的是, 若该第一链路无重传机制, 则本发明实施例中 所确定的该汇聚端装置在该数据中未接收到的数据单元即为需要切 换链路传输的数据单元; 该若该第一链路具有重传机制, 也就是说, 该汇聚端装置在未接收到的数据该第一链路会进行重新发送, 此时, 本发明实施例中所确定的该汇聚端装置在该数据中未接收到的数据 单元不包括该汇聚端装置认为需要继续通过该第一链路重传的数据 单元。
可选地, 该汇聚端装置确定该数据中的待接收数据单元的序列 号和该汇聚端装置已接收数据单元的最大序列号, 若该待接收数据 单元的序列号与该已接收数据单元的最大序列号之间的间隔满足预 设差值条件, 则确定该待接收数据单元的序列号对应的数据单元为 该汇聚端装置未接收到的数据单元。
可选地, 该数据单元为 PDCP协议数据单元, 该汇聚端装置向该 分流端装置发送状态报告为 PDC P状态报告。
在本发明实施例的一种可能的实现方式中, 该汇聚端装置预设 该汇聚端装置的 PDC P层的接收窗口中的 VRh与 VR r之差的阈值, 若 该接收窗口中的 VRh与 VR r之差达到该阈值, 则该汇聚端装置确定 该 VR r对应的数据单元为需要切换链路传输的数据单元。
在本发明实施例的另一种可能的实现方式中, 若该第一链路经 过该汇聚端装置的 RL C 层, 则该汇聚端装置也可以预设该汇聚端装 置的 RLC层对应的发送窗口中的 VRh与 VR r之差的阈值, 若该 RLC 层的该发送窗口中的 VRh与 VR r之差达到该阈值, 则该 RL C层指示 该汇聚端装置的 P DCP层该 VR r对应的数据单元为需要切换链路传输 的数据单元, 从而触发该 PDCP生成 PDCP状态报告。
可选地, 该汇聚端装置确定该数据中的待接收数据单元的序列 号未发生更新的时间, 并在该待接收数据单元的序列号未发生更新 的时间满足预设时间阈值时, 确定该待接收数据单元的序列号对应 的数据单元为该汇聚端装置未接收到的数据单元。
示例地, 该汇聚端装置对该汇聚端装置中的 DPCP层的接收窗口 中的 VRr设置对应的定时器, 该定时器设定时间阈值。 在该 VRr 更 新后, 该定时器启动或重启开始计时, 在该定时器计时达到该时间 阈值时, 若该 VRr还没有更新, 则该汇聚端装置确定该 VRr 对应的 数据单元为需要切换链路传输的数据单元。 另外, 若该第一链路经 过该汇聚端装置的 RLC 层, 则该接收窗口也可以是该汇聚端装置中 对应该第一链路的 RLC层的接收窗口, 由该 RLC层指示该汇聚端装 置的 PDCP 层该 VRr 对应的数据单元为需要切换链路传输的数据单 元, 从而触发该 PDCP生成 PDCP状态报告。
可选地, 该汇聚端装置向该分流端装置发送第一链路失败消息, 以便该分流端装置根据该状态报告和该第一链路失败消息发起第一 链路删除过程。
示例地, 该分流端装置在接收到该第一链路反馈的第一链路失 败消息后, 停止通过该第一链路向该汇聚端装置发送数据, 并将该 数据中未发送至该汇聚端装置的数据单元切换链路重传至该汇聚端 装置。
需要说明的是, 该第一链路中的 RLC 层包括发送端和接收端, 该 RLC 层在确认模式下, RLC 层的发送端在向接收端发送数据后, 可以要求接收端反馈是否正确接收, 因此, 该 RLC 层的发送窗口中 的下一个待确认数据单元的序列号与该 RLC 层接收窗口中的下一个 期望接收到的数据单元的序列号相对应。
则在本发明实施例一种可能的实现方式中, 该汇聚端装置在确 定该汇聚端装置未接收到的数据单元之后,调整该第一链路中的 RLC 层的接收窗口中的状态变量, 且该分流端装置在接收到该汇聚端发 送的该 PDCP报告后, 向该第一链路中的 RLC层发送 RLC控制消息, 以便所述 RLC层根据该 RLC控制消息调整该 RLC层的发送窗口中的 状态变量。 在本发明实施例另一种可能的实现方式中, 该汇聚端装置在该 调整该第一链路中的 RLC 层的接收窗口中的状态变量之后, 指示该 第一链路调整该第一链路的 RLC 层的发送窗口中的状态变量。 也就 是说, 由该汇聚端装置在调整该第一链路中的 RLC 层的接收窗口中 的状态变量之后发送 RLC控制消息, 以便该 RLC层根据该 RLC控制 消息调整该 RL C层的发送窗口中的状态变量。
