Description

D2D通信终端及其通信方法 技术领域
本发明总体上涉及设备到设备(D2D)通信。具体地,涉及在D2D通信系统中在模式1(Mode 1)和模式2(Mode 2)之间切换时的资源释放和再次利用机制。
背景技术
终端直连通信(D2D:Device to Device)技术是指两个对等的用户节点之间直接进行通信的一种通信方式。直连通信技术在很多现在3GPP尚未标准化的领域得到非常关键的应用。包括近年来学术界持续研究的非蜂窝工作模式Ad hoc中的P2P(Peer to Peer),以及一直以来都具有巨大潜在业务需求的杀手级应用--物联网中的M2M(Machine to Machine)。在这种由终端直连通信用户组成的集中或分布式网络中,每个用户节点都能发送和接收信号并且可能具有自动路由(转发消息)的功能。承载其通信所用的物理资源可以由网络配置,也可以由各个直连通信的终端之间的竞争获得。让蜂窝系统中的用户设备直接进行通信而不通过基站进行转接是一种观念的革新。显然,移动传播环境的天然衰减特性以及用户较低的发射天线,使得直接进行相互通信的两个用户设备具有相对较小的干扰区域。在这种场景下,物理隔离(比如信号衰减程度)达到一定程度的用户都可以共享相同的资源(空间、时间、频率、码字等)而不会引起相互之间的严重干扰。直观上看,每个小区中可以有数量可观的用户进行直连通信,在蜂窝网络下引入直连通信技术可以在很大程度上提高系统资源的空间复用效率,这样就大大缓解了网络资源的调度压力。同时,这些终端直连通信服务是在网络的配置下进行的,不仅是对现有蜂窝系统更加有效利用空口资源的一个有效补充,而且可以把各种物理设备纳入到这个连接体系中,使物联网、车联网等业务有了在3GPP蜂窝网框架下实现的可能。同时,由于蜂窝业务只能运行于蜂窝网覆盖地区,而在没有网络覆盖的地区,终端直连通信业务也能够在无需基站辅助的条 件下独立工作,这就为诸如灾害地区(诸如地震、洪灾等造成网络彻底瘫痪)的及时救援提供了有力的手段,这是对现有蜂窝业务非常有力的补充。有鉴于此,3GPP内一直在推进终端直连通信的标准化。早在2013年初在马耳他举办的RAN1第72次会议上,3GPP就已决定对终端直连通信技术进行研究,并且于2014年3月在福冈举办的RAN第63次全会上通过了在LTE Rel-12对终端直连通信服务进行标准化的工作议题。LTE Rel-12标准将支持D2D业务。而在D2D通信过程中,在不同的网络覆盖情况下,需要不同的D2D传输模式,比如在网络覆盖范围内通常会采用网络调度与控制下的D2D通信模式,即模式1,而在非网络覆盖条件下会采用非网络调度与控制下的D2D通信模式,即Mode 2。在网络覆盖条件或网络信号强度改变时,D2D通信模式会发生切换。例如,在网络覆盖条件或网络信号强度变差时,会从模式1切换到模式2。由于D2D模式切换而中断的传输所占用的资源若不能及时释放将造成资源的浪费。从下面的表1-1和表1-2(其分别对应3GPP TS36.321中的表6.1.3.1-1和表6.1.3.1-2)中可以看出,当缓存状态报告(BSR)的待传输数据缓存大小很大时,或者D2D调度的一个传输周期很长时,由于D2D模式切换引起的传输中断造成的未及时释放或利用的传输资源将非常可观。

表1-2:BSR扩展缓存大小等级
因此,对于被该切换过程中断的D2D传输所调度的资源,需要定义新的行为,以便高效重用或利用这些被中断的D2D所占用的物理资源。
发明内容
为了实现该目的,本发明提出了在D2D通信系统中在模式1和模式2之间切换时高效利用物理资源的机制。具体地,本发明提出:为了在D2D通信系统中在模式1传输被中断或者进行模式1和模式2之间的切换时高效利用物理资源,可以释放为被中断的传输所调度的全部或部分资源。
根据本发明的第一方面,提供了一种在支持设备到设备(D2D)通信的终端中执行的方法。所述方法可以包括:在处于D2D模式1传输期间,检测网络条件,并且向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源。所述方法还可以包括:如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,则保留被中断的传输(或称“被中断的调度”)要发送的数据,以及执行从模式1到模式2的切换,以在模式2下发送所保留的数据。
在一些实施例中,如果终端所报告的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,基站将释放调度给所述终端的被中断的传输的全部资源。
在一些实施例中,数据接收发生中断的触发条件可以是网络条件指示已经发生无线链路故障。在另一些实施例中,数据接收发生中断的触发条件可以是网络条件指示即将或者很可能发生无线链路故障,例如网络条件指示无线链路质量低于预设标准。
在一些实施例中,在从模式1到模式2的切换期间,终端将保留被中断的调度要发送的全部数据。于是,在切换到模式2后,终端将发送全部数据,包括已经在模式1下发送的数据。
在一些实施例中,在从模式1到模式2的切换期间,终端将仅保留被中断的传输还未发送的数据,而丢弃当前调度已经发送的数据。于是,在切换到模式2后,终端将仅发送还未发送的数据。
在一些实施例中,终端向基站报告终端与基站之间的无线链路连接状况作为所述网络条件。可选地,在另一些实施例中,终端向基站报告终端处的信道测量值作为所述网络条件。
在一些实施例中,终端在模式1通信中并且在BSR指示的当前调度需要传输的数据还未传输完成期间,将定期地或不定期地向基站发送检测到的网络条件。或者优选地,终端仅在当前网络条件低于阈值时,例如当前信道测量值低于阈值时,才执行。
根据本发明的第二方面,提供了一种在支持设备到设备“D2D”通信的终端中执行的方法。该方法可以包括:在处于D2D模式1传输期间,检测网络条件,并且向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源;如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,则保留被中断的传输(或称“被中断的调度”)还未发送的数据,并且挂起模式1直到小区重选成功;以及,如果重选到的小区与终端在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区相同,则恢复挂起的模式1以继续发送所保留的被中断的传输还未发送的数据。
在一些实施例中,在挂起模式1时,保留为被中断的传输还未发送的数据分配的物理资源,以留待该终端重新接入原接入小区并恢复模式1时用这些资源续传或重传本次调度待传的数据。
在一些实施例中,在挂起模式1时,不保留为被中断的传输分配的任何物理资源。并且该方法还包括:在恢复模式1时重新申请资源,以使用重新申请的资源继续发送所保留的被中断的传输还未发送的数据。
根据本发明的第三方面,提供了一种在支持设备到设备“D2D”通信的终端中执行的方法。该方法可以包括:在处于D2D模式1传输期间,检测网络条件,并且向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源;如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件或者从网络接收到切换到模式2的命令, 则中止模式1传输,保留被中断的传输还未发送的数据,以及执行从模式1到模式2的切换,以在模式2下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。
在一些实施例中,该方法还可以包括:如果在模式2传输期间发生了小区重选,并且重选到的小区与终端在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区相同,则中止模式2传输,保留被中断的模式2传输仍未发送的数据,以及执行从模式2到模式1的切换,以在模式1下继续被中断的模式2传输还未发送的数据。
在一些实施例中,该方法还包括:如果在预定时间内从模式1到模式2的切换没有成功,并且终端重选到在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区,则回到模式1下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。通常,在根据本发明的第三方面的实施例中,如果终端所报告的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,则基站会在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的被中断的传输的全部资源。于是,终端在回到模式1下时,如果仍有未发送的数据,则需要针对这些仍未发送的数据,重新申请资源。
根据本发明的第四方面,提供了一种支持设备到设备“D2D”通信的终端。该终端包括:检测装置,配置为在处于D2D模式1传输期间检测网络条件;报告装置,配置为向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源;模式切换装置,配置为,在检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件的情况下,保留被中断的传输要发送的数据,以及执行从模式1到模式2的切换;以及数据传输装置,在模式切换成功后在切换到的模式2下续传或重传所保留的数据。
根据本发明的第五方面,提供了一种支持设备到设备“D2D”通信的终端。该终端包括:检测装置,配置为在处于D2D模式1传输期间检测网络条件;报告装置,配置为:向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源;挂起装置,配置为,如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,则保留被中断的传输还未发送的数据,并且挂起模式1直到小区重选成功;以及恢复装置,配置为:如果重选到的小区与终端在发生无线链路故障 前接入的原小区相同,则恢复挂起的模式1以继续发送所保留的被中断的传输还未发送的数据。
在一些实施例中,挂起装置进一步配置为:在挂起模式1时保留为被中断的传输还未发送的数据分配的物理资源,以留待该终端重新接入原接入小区并恢复模式1时用这些资源续传或重传本次调度待传的数据。
在一些实施例中,挂起装置进一步配置为:在挂起模式1时不保留为被中断的传输分配的任何物理资源。并且该终端还包括资源申请装置,配置为:在恢复模式1时重新申请资源,以使用重新申请的资源继续发送所保留的被中断的传输还未发送的数据。
根据本发明的第六方面,提供了一种支持设备到设备“D2D”通信的终端。该终端包括:检测装置,配置为在处于D2D模式1传输期间检测网络条件;报告装置,配置为向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源;接收装置,配置为从网络接收命令;以及,模式切换装置,配置为:如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件或者从网络接收到切换到模式2的命令,则中止模式1传输,保留被中断的传输还未发送的数据,以及执行从模式1到模式2的切换,以在模式2下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。
在一些实施例中,该终端还包括恢复装置。该恢复装置配置为:如果在模式2传输期间发生了小区重选,并且重选到的小区与终端在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区相同,则中止模式2传输,保留被中断的模式2传输仍未发送的数据,以及执行从模式2到模式1的切换,以在模式1下继续发送被中断的传输在恢复回模式1之前仍未传输或还未传完的数据。
在这些实施例中,该恢复装置还配置为:如果在预定时间内从模式1到模式2的切换没有成功,并且终端重选到在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区,则回到模式1下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。
通过本发明提出的方法,可以在D2D通信终端离开模式1通信时,及时地释放被中断的传输所调度的全部或部分资源以供再次利用。从而 通过本发明提出的方法,可以提高D2D通信系统中对资源的利用率,实现更大的网络性能增益。

如上文提到的,本发明的目的在于提供在D2D通信系统中在模式1和模式2之间切换时高效利用物理资源的机制。本发明提出了若干机制,用于在模式1和模式2切换时保留和释放因切换而中断的传输所调度的资源中的全部或部分资源,并且介绍了终端(也称为用户设备UE)和基站的相应行为。为了便于理解,本发明将参考3GPP TS 36.321和3GPP TS 36.331协议来进行描述,但是本发明不限于此。
具体地,在D2D通信过程中发生模式1和模式2切换过程时,本发明设计了高效利用资源的两种物理层过程:物理层过程1与物理层过程2。现分别说明如下:
物理层过程1是D2D终端(如UE)在发生无线链路故障(Radio Link Failure,简称RLF)之前基于一定的机制上报其网络情况。基站(如eNB)根据UE上报的网络情况决定该UE的D2D传输模式,及其整个物理层过程涉及的一系列信令。物理层过程1可以有两种可选的实现方式:物理层过程1-1和物理层过程1-2。物理层过程1-1中,D2D终端将会向eNB上报当前该D2D终端与基站之间的无线链路连接状况,即是否网络仍处于正常连接状态。eNB将会根据D2D终端的此种汇报情况决定资源的继续调度或释放。在物理层过程1-2中,D2D终端将会向eNB上报当前该D2D终端所接收到的蜂窝网的信号质量,也即信道测量值(如RSRP或RSRQ)。eNB将会根据D2D终端汇报的信号质量决定终端的D2D传输模式,并决定相应资源的继续调度或释放。此物理层过程1的一种触发条件是:在该D2D发射终端正在网络调度中且该UE申请当前调度需传输的BSR数据未传输完成的条件下触发。例如,UE在正常的模式1通信中并且在当前调度需要传输的数据还未完成期间,可以定期地或不定期地向基站发送检测到的网络情况。物理层过程1的另一种触发条件是:前一种触发条件满足的情况下且当前的信道测量值(如RSRP或RSRQ)低于预 配置的某一阈值的条件下触发。
物理层过程2是D2D终端(如UE)根据当前的网络条件与基站(如eNB)的相应配置,所进行的D2D传输模式切换以及此切换过程中终端继续调度或释放相应资源的物理层过程。物理层过程2规定了在D2D模式切换中D2D终端的若干行为(UE Behaviors)。物理层过程2的触发条件可以是:当前网络条件指示发生了RLF。例如,物理层过程2的触发时间点可以是在小区重选过程计时器T301或T311启动后。或者,物理层过程2的更激进的触发条件可以是:当前网络条件指示即将已经发生无线链路故障。例如,物理层过程2的触发时间点可以是在小区切换过程N310计数器计满、T310计时器启动后(如图12-2-a、图12-2-b、图12-2-c、图12-2-d所示)。T301、T311、T310、N310的含义与3GPP TS36.321中的定义一致,如下面的表2-1和表2-2所示。表2-1和表2-2分别对应3GPP TS36.331中的表7.3和表7.4。

表2-2
物理层过程2分为两种类型。第一种类型的物理层过程2如下:在满足触发条件(如检测到并确认RLF)后,终端不必等到切换回本小区模式1模式就随即释放为当前调度分配的相关物理资源。第一种类型的物理层过程2例如可以通过下述的实现方式2-1,2-2,2-5来执行。第二种类型的物理层过程2如下:在满足触发条件(如检测到并确认RLF)后,终端在设定时间内等待切换回本小区模式1模式。在此等待期间,不全部释放为当前调度分配的物理资源,而是保留相关资源以留作该D2D终端切换回本小区模式1模式后继续传输当前调度相关数据所用。例如,在等待期间,可以释放被中断的调度已发送的数据所占用的物理资源,而保留为被中断的调度还未发送的数据分配的物理资源。第二种类型的物理层过程2例如可以通过下述的实现方式2-3,2-4来执行。
物理层过程2可以存在多种实现方式。下面概要介绍5种实现方式:物理层过程2-1,物理层过程2-2,物理层过程2-3,物理层过程2-4,和物理层过程2-5。
在物理层过程2-1中,D2D终端会在模式1切换到模式2时释放被中断的调度分配的全部物理资源(也即,释放被中断的当前调度已经完成的传输所占用的物理资源,同时释放当前调度为本来即将传输而实际未传输完成的数据分配的物理资源),并保留当前调度的所有数据,清空有关模式1传输的所有配置,转而在模式2中重新发送被中断的当前调度的所有数据。
在物理层过程2-2中,D2D终端会在模式1切换到模式2时释放被中断的调度分配的全部物理资源,并保留当前调度未传完的数据,丢弃当前调度中已经传输完成的所有数据,并清空模式1传输的相关配置,并将当前调度未传输完成的数据转到模式2中传输。
在物理层过程2-3中,挂起Mode1传输,保留当前调度分配的相关资源,然后等待小区重选结果为切换回本小区,然后用之前保留的相关资源继续传输被中断的当前调度未传完的数据。在物理层过程2-3中,D2D终端会在切离模式1时,释放被中断的当前调度已经完成的传输所占用的物理资源,而保留为本来即将传输而实际未传输完成的数据分配 的物理资源,留待后续切换回本小区模式1模式下继续传输未传完的这些数据所用;保留模式1相关配置;以及,丢弃当前调度已经完成的数据,而保留被中断的当前调度未传完的剩余数据一段时间,在这段时间之内等待小区重选结果是否会重新连接到当前小区。如果在这段时间内D2D终端重新连接到当前小区,则切换回模式1模式,且之前保留的当前被中断的调度剩下未传完的数据接着在模式1下利用之前保留的为本来即将传输而实际未传输完成的数据分配的物理资源继续传输。如果这段时间内该D2D终端不能重新连接到当前小区并回到模式1模式,则丢弃这些数据与相应的模式1传输配置,对当前被中断调度未传输完成的数据不再进行传输。
物理层过程2-4与物理层过程2-3类似,区别在于:在挂起模式1传输期间,不保留当前调度分配的相关资源,而是在等待小区重选结果为切换回本小区后,重新申请资源来传输被中断的调度未传完的数据。在物理层过程2-4中,D2D终端会释放被中断的调度已经完成的传输所占用的物理资源,而对本来即将传输而实际未传输完成的数据如果也分配了物理资源,也需将其释放,并且保留被中断的调度传输的所有数据(或还未传输的数据)一段时间,在这段时间之内等待是否会重新连接到当前小区。如果这段时间内D2D终端重新连接到当前小区,则重新向当前小区eNB申请新的调度授权,并在申请到的新的调度授权下重新传送之前被中断的调度的所有数据(或还未传输的数据)。如果这段时间内该D2D终端不能重新连接到当前小区并回到模式1模式,则丢弃这些数据与相应的模式1传输配置,对该次被中断的数据不再进行传输。
与物理层过程2-4类似,在物理层过程2-5中,D2D终端会释放被中断的调度已经完成的传输所占用的物理资源,而对本来即将传输而实际未传输完成的数据如果也分配了物理资源,也需将其释放,并且保留被中断的调度传输的还未传输的数据一段时间,在这段时间之内等待是否会重新连接到当前小区。与过程2-4的不同在于,在等待小区重选结果的同时,D2D终端还尝试切换到模式2。如果D2D终端成功切换到传输模式2,则在模式2下继续传输被中断的调度还未完成的数据,同时继续等待小区重选结果。如果在模式2传输期间在某次调度中发生了小区 重选,则停止模式2传输,并且释放在此模式2传输中所分配的资源(包括已经传完的数据占用的资源和为未传完的数据分配的资源),并丢弃被中断的调度迄今已传输完成的数据,并保留被中断的调度仍未传输发送的数据。若在等待时间内小区重选结果为切换回本小区,则将被中断的当前调度未完成的数据转到模式1中传输,若在等待时间内未回到本小区,则丢弃被中断的当前调度的所有数据,不再传输这些数据。若该D2D终端在小区重选重新接入到之前接入的同一小区之前,当前调度被中断后一直未能成功切换到模式2模式传输,则一直保留当前调度未传输完成的数据,丢弃之前已经传完的数据,并等待小区重选结果是否为切换回本小区。如果在设定时间内成功切换回模式1,则将被中断的调度未完成的数据转回到模式1中继续传输(在该情况下,需要申请新的调度授权),若在设定的该等待时间内未回到本小区,则丢弃被中断的调度的所有数据,不再传输这些数据。
在不同的RRC配置下,上述物理层过程还会有一些不同表现。
下面参考附图和具体实施例对上述物理过程进行详细描述。下面的描述通常是从D2D终端的角度来描述的,但是不排除对基站的行为的描述。
图1示出了根据本发明的第一实施例的方法1000的流程图。
如前所述,在网络覆盖范围内D2D终端通常会采用网络调度与控制下的D2D通信模式,即模式1。方法1000开始于D2D终端处于模式1传输中。
在步骤S1100中,D2D终端检测网络条件,并且向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源。
在步骤S1100中将实现上述物理层过程1,其可以采用如下两种方式中的任一实施方式。
物理层过程1-1的实现方式
D2D终端将会向eNB上报当前该D2D终端与基站之间的无线链路连接状况,即网络是否仍处于正常连接状态。eNB将会根据D2D终端的此种汇报情况决定资源是否继续调度或释放。该物理层过程会在以下条件 部分满足的情况下被触发:
1,该D2D发射终端正在网络调度中;
2,该UE申请当前调度需传输的BSR数据未传输完成;
3,当前的信道测量值(如RSRP或RSRQ)低于配置的某一阈值。
该物理层过程1-1可以在条件1,2同时满足的情况下触发,例如在模式1传输期间定期发送。或者,该物理层过程1-1可以在上述条件1,2,3同时满足的情况下触发。
该物理层过程1-1即为D2D发射终端在上述触发条件下向网络上报当前网络连接状况,即当前D2D发射终端是否与网络处于正常连接状态。所上报的信息可以承载在RRC信令中(例如,直接承载于SR或者BSR的内容中),或者承载在MAC CE中,或者承载在上行控制信息(UE)中。
物理层过程1-2的实现方式
对于物理层过程1-2,D2D终端将会向eNB上报当前该D2D终端的蜂窝网的信道测量值(如RSRP或RSRQ)。eNB将会根据D2D终端的此种汇报情况决定资源的继续调度或释放。该物理层过程1-2可以在以下条件部分满足的情况下被触发:
1,该D2D发射终端正在网络调度中;
2,该UE申请当前调度需传输的BSR数据未传输完成;
3,当前的信道测量值(如RSRP或RSRQ)低于配置的某一阈值。
与物理层过程1-1类似,该物理层过程1-2可以在条件1,2同时满足的情况下触发。或者,该物理层过程1-2可以在上述条件1,2,3同时满足的情况下触发。在后一情况下,假如下行信道测量值低于设定阈值,则触发D2D发射终端向网络上报D2D传输模式选择相关信息;相反假如下行信道测量值高于设定阈值,则不会触发D2D发射终端向网络上报D2D传输模式选择相关信息。
该物理层过程1-2即为D2D发射终端在上述触发条件下向网络上报当前蜂窝网的测量值,即当前信道测量值。所上报的信息可以承载在RRC中,或者承载在MAC CE中,或者承载在上行控制信息(UE)中。
在步骤S1200中,如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,则D2D保留被中断的传输要发送的数据,并且执行从模式1 到模式2的切换,以在模式2下发送所保留的数据。在一些实施例中,如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,则D2D保留被中断的传输要发送的全部数据,并且在成功切换到模式2后,在模式2下重新发送被中断的传输要发送的全部数据。而在另一些实施例中,如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,则D2D保留被中断的传输还未发送的数据,而不保留已经发送的数据,并且在成功切换到模式2后,在模式2下续传该次传输还未发送的数据。步骤S1200将实现物理层过程2。
数据接收发生中断的触发条件(也即物理层过程2的触发条件)可以是:当前网络条件指示发生了RLF。例如,物理层过程2的触发时间点可以是在小区重选过程计时器T301或T311启动后。或者,中断传输的更激进的触发条件还可以是:当前网络条件指示即将已经发生无线链路故障。例如,物理层过程2的触发时间点可以是在小区切换过程N310计数器计满、T310计时器启动后(如图12-2-a、图12-2-b、图12-2-c、图12-2-d所示)。

方法1000A的后续部分描述了物理层过程2-1的详细步骤。
在步骤S1202a中,D2D终端判断检测到的网络条件是否满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,例如是否发生了RLF。如果满足触发条件,则前进到步骤S1204a,否则返回步骤S1100a。
在步骤S1204a中,释放被中断的当前调度已经完成的传输所占用的物理资源,而对本来即将传输而实际未传输完成的数据如果也分配了物理资源,也需将其释放。
在步骤S1206a中,保留被中断的当前调度所需传输的所有数据,包括已经传输完成的数据。
在步骤S1208a中,清空有关模式1传输的所有配置。
在步骤S1210a中,判断网络配置是否允许该终端在模式2模式下传输。如果允许,则前进到步骤S1212a;否则,前进到步骤S1218a,丢弃被中断的当前调度的所有数据,而不再传输这些数据。
在步骤S1212a中,在设定时间内尝试模式1到模式2的切换。
在步骤S1214a中,判断在该设定时间内D2D终端是否成功切换到模式2。如果成功,则前进到步骤S1216a;否则前进到步骤S1218a,丢弃被中断的调度的所有数据,而不再传输这些数据。
在S1216a中,该终端在模式2传输模式下重新发送该次调度的所有数据(包括当前调度被中断之前已经传输完成的数据和还未传完的数据)。应该注意,在模式2下该终端使用的资源是通过竞争获得的,而不是由基站调度的。
然后,方法1000A结束。
图3示出了根据本发明的第一实施例的方法1000的另一个具体实现1000B的流程图。
同样,方法1000B开始于D2D终端处于模式1传输中。步骤S1100b与步骤S1100相同。在此不再赘述。
方法1000B的后续部分描述了物理层过程2-2的详细步骤。
在步骤S1202b中,D2D终端判断检测到的网络条件是否满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件,例如是否发生了RLF。如果满足触发条件,则前进到步骤S1204b,否则返回步骤S1100b。
在步骤S1204b中,释放被中断的调度已经完成的传输所占用的物理资源,而对本来即将传输而实际未传输完成的数据如果也分配了物理资源,也需将其释放。
在步骤S1206b中,保留被中断的调度未传输的数据,丢弃当前调度中已经传输完成的数据。
在步骤S1208b中,清空有关模式1传输的所有配置。
在步骤S1210b中,判断网络配置是否允许该终端在模式2模式下传输。如果允许,则前进到步骤S1212b;否则,前进到步骤S1218b,丢弃被中断的调度的所有数据,而不再传输这些数据。
在步骤S1212b中,在设定时间内尝试模式1到模式2的切换。
在步骤S1214b中,判断在该设定时间内D2D终端是否成功切换到模式2。如果成功,则前进到步骤S1216b;否则前进到步骤S1218b,丢弃被中断的调度的所有数据,而不再传输这些数据。
在S1216b中,该终端在模式2传输模式下继续发送被中断的调度的未传输完成的数据(当前调度被中断之前在模式1中已传输完成的数据不再重新发送)。
然后,方法1000B结束。

在步骤S2214a中,D2D终端丢弃被中断的调度的所有数据,而不再传输这些数据。
然后,方法2000A结束。
图7示出了根据本发明的第二实施例的方法2000的另一个具体实现2000B的流程图。

图9示出了根据本发明的第三实施例的方法3000的流程图。
如前所述,在网络覆盖范围内D2D终端通常会采用网络调度与控制下的D2D通信模式,即模式1。方法3000开始于D2D终端处于模式1传输中。
在步骤S3100中,D2D终端检测网络条件,并且向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源。步骤S2100与方法1000中的步骤S1100类似,在此不再赘述。
在步骤S3200中,如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件或者从网络接收到切换到模式2的命令,则中止模式1传输,保留被中断的传输还未发送的数据,以及执行从模式1到模式2的切换,以在模式2下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。
可选地,方法3000还可以包括步骤S3300。在步骤S3300中,如果在模式2传输期间发生了小区重选,并且重选到的小区与终端在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区相同,则中止模式2传输,保留被中断的模式2传输仍未发送的数据,以及执行从模式2到模式1的切换,以在模式1下继续被中断的模式2传输还未发送的数据。
可选地,方法3000还可以包括步骤S3400。在步骤S3400中,如果在预定时间内从模式1到模式2的切换没有成功,并且终端重选到在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区,则回到模式1下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。
步骤S3200和可选的步骤S3300和S3400将实现物理层过程2。
与方法1000和2000类似,步骤S3200中的数据接收发生中断的触发条件(也即物理层过程2的触发条件)可以是:当前网络条件指示发生了RLF。例如,物理层过程2的触发时间点可以是在小区重选过程计时器T301或T311启动后。或者,中断传输的更激进的触发条件还可以是:当前网络条件指示即将已经发生无线链路故障。例如,物理层过程2的触发时间点可以是在小区切换过程N310计数器计满、T310计时器启动后(如图12-2-a、图12-2-b、图12-2-c、图12-2-d所示)。
步骤S3200以及可选的步骤S3300和S3400例如可以通过物理层过程2-5,其将在下文参考图10进行详细描述。然后,方法3000结束。
图10示出了根据本发明的第三实施例的方法3000的一个具体实现 3000A的流程图。
同样,方法3000A开始于D2D终端处于模式1传输中。步骤S3100a与步骤S3100相同。在此不再赘述。
方法3000A的后续部分描述了物理层过程2-5的详细步骤。

在步骤S3206a中,D2D终端保留被中断的当前调度未传输的数据,丢弃当前调度中已经传输完成的数据。
在步骤S3208a中,假如网络允许该终端在模式2模式中传输,则在设定时间内尝试切换回本小区,否则继续等待,直到进入小区重选设定时间段,在该时间段内尝试小区重选。
在步骤S3210a中,判断在设定时间内D2D终端是否成功切换到模式2。如果成功,则前进到步骤S3212a,否则前进到步骤S3232a,继续等待,直到进入小区重选设定时间段,在该时间段内尝试小区重选。
在步骤S3212a中,D2D终端将转而在模式2中继续发送被中断的当前调度未传完数据。并在此过程中或之后某段时间内尝试切换回本小区。
在步骤S3214a中,在模式2传输的同时,判断在设定时间段内D2D终端是否成功切换回本小区。尝试切换回本小区的设定时间段从确认RLF发生并尝试从模式1传输切换到模式2开始,终止时间可以有若干种配置。尝试切换回本小区的时间段具体配置后面会详细说明,可参考图12-1-a到图12-1-d。如果在设定的时间段内成功切换回本小区,则前进到步骤S3218a,否则前往步骤S3240a。
在步骤S3218中,停止模式2传输,D2D终端保留迄今为止该次调度未传输的数据,丢弃该调度中已经传输完成的数据,并且清空模式2相关所有配置。然后,前进到步骤S3250。
在步骤S3232a中,在小区重选设定的时间段内尝试切换回本小区。
在步骤S3234a中,判断在设定时间内D2D终端是否成功切换回本小区。如果在设定的时间段内成功切换回本小区,则前进到步骤S3250a,否则前往步骤S3240a。
在步骤S3250a中,D2D终端重新切换回Mode1,并在模式1中继续发送被中断的本次调度的未传输完成的数据(本次调度被中断之前在模式1中已传输完成的数据不再重新发送)。
在步骤S3240中,D2D终端丢弃当前保留的所有数据,而不再对当前调度的数据进行传输。
然后,方法3000A结束。
图11示出了根据本发明的第三实施例的D2D终端300的示意框图。如图所示,终端300可以包括检测装置310,报告装置320,接收装置330,以及模式切换装置340。可选地,终端300还可以包括恢复装置350等等。
检测装置310可以在处于D2D模式1传输期间检测网络条件。
报告装置320向基站报告检测到的网络条件以协助基站在传输中断时及时释放调度给所述终端的物理资源。
接收装置330可以从网络接收命令,例如切换到模式2传输的命令。
模式切换装置340可以配置为:如果检测到的网络条件满足数据接收发生中断的触发条件或者从网络接收到切换到模式2的命令,则中止模式1传输,保留被中断的传输还未发送的数据,以及在设定时间A内尝试切换到模式2,并执行从模式1到模式2的切换,以在模式2下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。模式切换装置340还配置为:在成功切换到模式2的情况下,在模式2下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。
可选地,恢复装置350可以进一步配置为:在初始的模式1传输中断后(比如RLF发生),在包括尝试切换到模式2和成功切换到模式2并在模式2传输期间的设定时间B内(对于该段时间的设置将在后面详细进行说明)进行小区重选,以尝试重选为原接入小区并回到模式1。如果在模式2传输期间发生了小区重选,并且重选到的小区与终端在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区相同,则中止模式2传输,保留被中断 的模式2传输仍未发送的数据,以及执行从模式2到模式1的切换,以在模式1下继续被中断的模式2传输还未发送的数据。
可选地,恢复装置350可以配置为:如果在预定时间内从模式1到模式2的切换没有成功,并且终端重选到在发生无线链路故障前接入的原小区,则回到模式1下发送所保留的还未发送的数据。
对于初始的模式1传输中断后尝试切换回模式1的设定时间(即设定时间B),其与尝试切换回模式2的设定时间(即设定时间A)之间的时序关系可以存在多种情况。下面以模式切换或恢复尝试开始于RLF发生时刻为例,参考图12-1-a到图12-1-d,详细说明设定时间A和B的时序关系。设定时间B可以设置为开始于传输中断发生时刻,并且持续时间小于设定时间A,即结束于中断发生后尝试切换到模式2期间的某个时间点(如图12-1-a所示);也可以设置为开始于传输中断发生时刻,并且持续时间大于设定时间A但是小于设定的模式2切换最大尝试时间加模式2最大传输时间的和,即结束于成功切换到模式2之后的模式2传输期间的某个时间点(如图12-1-b所示);也可以设置为开始于传输中断发生时刻,并且持续时间等于设定的模式2切换最大尝试时间加模式2最大传输时间(如图12-1-c所示);也可以设置为开始于传输中断发生时刻,并且持续时间大于设定的模式2切换最大尝试时间加模式2最大传输时间(如图12-1-d所示)。
当然,在更激进的触发条件下,即模式切换或恢复尝试从T310计数器开始计时时刻开始时,类似的设置可以如图12-2-a、图12-2-b、图12-2-c、图12-2-d所示。
D2D终端300可以通过各个部件的协作来实现上述方法3000,或其具体实现方式3000A。检测装置310,报告装置320,模式切换装置340和恢复装置3500分别完成步骤方法3000A中的对应步骤的操作。
因此,在此不再对D2D终端300的各个部分进行详细描述。
