  • the present invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and in particular to a feature configuration apparatus and method.
  • the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection status of the User Equipment includes the Cell-Dedicated Channel (CELL_DCH) status and the pre-cell.
  • CELL_DCH means that the UE is in an active state and is communicating with its own dedicated channel. Both the uplink and the downlink have dedicated channels, and the network accurately knows the cell in which the user equipment is located.
  • CELL_FACH means that the UE is in an active state, but only a small amount of data needs to be transmitted in the uplink and downlink, and the network accurately knows the cell in which the UE is located.
  • CELL_PCH means that there is no data transmission between the UE uplink and downlink, and the Paging Indicator Channel (PICH) needs to be monitored to listen to the paging. The UE enters the discontinuous reception at this time, so that the power can be effectively saved, and the network knows the UE accurately.
  • the network needs to update the cell information of the UE.
  • URA_PCH means that there is no data transmission between the UE uplink and downlink. It needs to monitor the PICH and enter the discontinuous reception. The network only knows the UTRAN Registration Area (URA) where the UE is located. That is, the network only occurs in the URA where the UE is located. The location information is updated after the change, which saves resources and reduces signaling.

  • the RRC connection state of the UE needs to be switched between CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH and URA_PCH, thereby realizing It not only satisfies the data transmission requirements of the UE but also saves communication resources.
  • the network indicates that the UE enters the CELL_DCH through the downlink RRC signaling; when the UE has only a small amount of data transmission, the network may instruct the UE to enter the CELL_FACH through the downlink RRC signaling. If the UE has no data to transmit, the network may instruct the UE to enter CELL_PCH through downlink RRC signaling.
  • the characteristics that the UE can enable in different RRC connection states are also different, so if the UE occurs The state transition, the network also needs to configure the feature, wherein the UE-enabled feature refers to a certain technical capability that the UE enables, such as High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA).

Description

特性配置装置及方法 技术领域
本发明涉及领域移动通信领域,尤其涉及特性配置装置及方法。
背景技术
在通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)中,用户设备(User Equipment,UE)的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接状态包括小区专用信道(CELL_Dedicated Channel,CELL_DCH)状态、小区前向接入信道(CELL_Forward Access Channel,CELL_FACH)状态、小区寻呼信道(Cell_Paging Channel,CELL_PCH)状态和UTRAN注册区寻呼信道(UTRAN Registration Area_PCH,URA_PCH)状态。CELL_DCH是指UE处于激活状态,正在利用自己专用的信道进行通信,上下行都具有专用信道,网络准确地知道用户设备所位于的小区。CELL_FACH是指UE处于激活状态,但是上下行都只有少量的数据需要传输,网络准确地知道UE所位于的小区。CELL_PCH是指UE上下行都没有数据传送,需要监听寻呼指示信道(Paging Indicator Channel,PICH),以便收听寻呼,UE此时进入非连续接收,因此可有效的节电,网络准确的知道UE所位于的小区,UE所位于的小区变化后,网络需要更新UE的小区信息。URA_PCH是指UE上下行都没有数据传送,需要监听PICH,进入非连续接收,网络只知道UE所位于的UTRAN注册区(UTRAN Registration Area,URA),也就是说,网络只在UE位于的URA发生变化后才更新其位置信息,这样更加节约了资源,减少了信令。
在不同的RRC连接状态下,UE的数据传输能力及占用的通信资源各不相同,随着数据传输需求不同,UE的RRC连接状态需要在CELL_DCH、CELL_FACH、CELL_PCH和URA_PCH之间进行切换,从而实现既满足UE的数据传输需求又节省通信资源的目的。例如,当UE有大量数据要发送时,网络通过下行RRC信令指示UE进入CELL_DCH;在UE只有少量数据的传输时,网络可以通过下行RRC信令指示UE进入CELL_FACH。如果UE没有数据要发送,网络可以通过下行RRC信令指示UE进入CELL_PCH。
在不同的RRC连接状态下,UE可启用的特性也不相同,因此如果UE发生了 状态迁移,网络还需要对特性进配置,其中,所述UE可启用的特性是指UE启用其能支持的某种技术能力,例如高速下行链路分组接入(HSDPA,High Speed Downlink Packet Access)能力,双载波-高速下行链路分组接入(DC-HSDPA,dual-carrier High Speed Downlink Packet Access)能力,高速上行分组接入(HSUPA,High Speed Uplink Packet Access)能力,非连续性发射/非连续接收(DTX/DRX,discontinuous transmission/discontinuous reception)能力,四载波-高速下行链路分组接入(4C-HSDPA,four-carrier High Speed Downlink Packet Access)能力,双载波-高速上行分组接入(DC-HSUPA,dual-carrier High Speed Uplink Packet Access)能力等。在现有技术中,如果需要启动某种待启用特性,则需要网络在向UE发送的信令中,携带该待启用特性所对应的配置信元,配置信元中包含配置该待启用特性所需的配置参数。例如,当UE的RRC连接状态迁移至CELL_DCH时,为提升UE的数据传输速率,网络可能会启动多载频,其中,多载频是指配置多个相邻或不相邻的载频给UE以提升UE数据传输速率的一种特性。当需要UE启动多载频时,网络会在向UE发送的信令中,携带与启动多载频相对应的配置信元。当UE接收到该配置信元时,根据该配置信元进行配置,启动多载频。
发明人对现有技术研究后发现,采用现有特性配置方法,即使配置信元的内容不变,每次需要UE启动待启用特性时,都需要网络向UE发送该配置信元。以启用同样配置参数的多载频特性为例,在UE每次状态迁移至CELL_DCH时,无线网络控制器都需要向UE发送同样的配置信元。由此可以看出,采用现有特性配置方法,会重复发送同样的配置信元,会造成信令资源浪费,降低空口信令数传的成功率。

本发明实施例提供了特性配置装置及方法,以解决采用现有特性配置方法会造成信令资源浪费,降低空口信令数传的成功率的问题。

具体实施方式
为了使本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明方案,下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所述实施例仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例中的配置信元是指包含特性配置参数的信元,每一种配置信元对 应一种特性,所述UE、基站和无线网络控制器可以根据所述配置信元所包含的特性配置参数进行特性配置,从而启用与该配置信元对应的特性。所以本文中使用所述配置信元进行特性配置即为根据所述配置信元所包含的特性配置参数进行特性配置。
其中,所述特性可以为:DC-HSDPA,HSDPA,HSUPA,DTX/DRX,4C-HSDPA,DC-HSUPA等其中的一种或几种。上述特性的具体说明如下:
DC-HSDPA:3GPP Rel-8引入的特性,为双载波HSDPA技术,可将两个互为邻频或跨频段的载波通过聚合的方式提升下行速率。在TS 25.331协议中对应的信元为:Downlink secondary cell info FDD 10.3.6.31a;在TS 25.433协议中对应的信元为:HS-DSCH FDD Secondary Serving Information 9.2.2.18Da。
HSDPA:3GPP Rel-5引入的特性,为高速下行分组接入,在一个载波上可达到较高的下行速率。在TS 25.331协议中对应的信元为:Downlink HS-PDSCH Information10.3.6.23a;在TS 25.433协议中对应的信元为:HS-DSCH FDD Information 9.2.2.18D。
HSUPA:3GPP Rel-6引入的特性,为高速上行分组接入,在一个载波上可达到较高的上行速率。在TS 25.331协议中对应的信元为:E-DCH Info 10.3.6.97;在TS25.433协议中对应的信元为:E-DCH FDD Information 9.2.2.13Da。
DTX/DRX:3GPP Rel-7引入的特性,为上行不连续发送和下行不连续接收。在TS 25.331协议中对应的信元为:DTX-DRX timing information 10.3.6.34b、DTX-DRX Information 10.3.6.34a;在TS 25.433协议中对应的信元为:Continuous Packet Connectivity DTX-DRX Information 9.2.2.66。
4C-HSDPA:3GPP Rel-10引入的特性,为四载波HSDPA技术,可将四个互为邻频或跨频段的载波通过聚合的方式提升下行速率。在TS 25.331协议中对应的信元为:Downlink secondary cell info FDD 10.3.6.31a;在TS 25.433协议中对应的信元为:HS-DSCH FDD Secondary Serving Information 9.2.2.18Da。
DC-HSUPA:3GPP Rel-9引入的特性,为双载波HSUPA技术,可将两个互为邻频的载波通过聚合的方式提升上行速率。在TS 25.331协议中对应的信元为:Uplink secondary cell info FDD 10.3.6.115;在TS 25.433协议中对应的信元为:Additional E-DCH FDD Setup Information 9.2.2.131。
参见图1,为本发明特性配置装置一个实施例的示意图。该特性配置装置可以设置在无线网络控制器上,也可以是无线网络控制器本身。
如图1所示,所述装置包括:指示单元101与启用单元102。
其中,所述指示单元101,用于向用户设备UE发送配置信元的第一保留指示,所述第一保留指示用于指示所述UE保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的所述配置信元。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述指示单元101,还可以用于向基站发送所述配置信元的第二保留指示,所述第二保留指示用于指示所述基站保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的所述配置信元。其中,第一保留指示和第二保留指示可以相同,也可以不同,此处不予限制。
例如,所述第一保留指示用于指示所述UE在发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时保留所要离开的无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元。所述第二保留指示用于指示所述基站在发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时保留所要离开的无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元。
所述指示单元101可以仅向UE发送配置信元的保留指示,此时,所述无线网络控制器也包含保留单元,用来保留所述配置信元;或者,所述指示单元101可以向UE和基站发送配置信元的保留指示,此时,所述无线网络控制器可以包含保留单元,也可以不包含保留单元。也就是说,只要网络和UE同时保留所述配置信元即可。
所述第一无线资源控制连接状态为CELL_DCH状态、CELL_PCH状态、CELL_FACH状态或URA_PCH状态中的任意一种。
当UE需要启动某一特性时,不但需要UE使用与该特性对应的配置信元进行配置,还需要基站同时也使用与该特性对应的配置信元进行配置。
为使得UE或基站可以再次使用在第一无线资源控制连接状态下已经保存的配置信元进行特性配置,首先需要指示UE或UE与基站在发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下已经保存的所述配置信元而不进行删除。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述指示单元101可以在所述UE初次进入或再次进入或处于所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述UE发送第一保留指示。进一步地,在所述UE初次进入或再次进入或处于所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时向所述基站发送第二保留指示。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,所述指示单元101也可以在所述UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时,即所述UE从所述第一无线资源控制连接状态迁移至第二无 线资源控制连接状态时,向所述UE发送第一保留指示。进一步地,在所述UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时向基站发送第二保留指示。
所述第一无线资源控制连接状态是UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移前所处的无线资源控制连接状态,所述第二无线资源控制连接状态是UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移后的无线资源控制连接状态,且不同于所述第一无线资源控制连接状态,所述第一、二无线资源控制连接状态可以是CELL_DCH状态,CELL_PCH状态,CELL_FACH状态,URA_PCH状态等RRC连接状态中的任意一种。
所述第一保留指示可以在UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,也可以在特性的初始特性配置阶段由RNC下发给UE,例如在空口,RNC可通过无线承载(RB,radio bearer)建立消息或重配置消息等发送给UE。第二保留指示可以在初始特性配置阶段或在所述UE离开所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,由RNC下发给基站,例如,在Iub口,RNC可通过无线链路(RL,radio link)建立消息或无线链路重配置消息等发送给基站。
因此,所述指示单元101,具体可以用于通过无线链路建立消息或无线链路重配置消息向所述基站发送所述第二保留指示;或者可以用于通过无线承载建立消息或重配置消息向所述UE发送所述第一保留指示。
所述第一保留指示的形式可能有多种,在实际使用中可以根据需要进行选择。具体可以采用如下形式1、2和3中的任意一种。下面统一采用配置信元的保留指示来说明。
形式1:所述配置信元的保留指示可以包含第二比特串,所述第二比特串中的每一个比特位与在所述第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的一个配置信元相对应,以比特位的取值表示在发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时是否需要保留与该比特位所对应的配置信元。
例如,所述第二比特串的某比特位的值为1,则表示在发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时,需要保存与该比特位对应的配置信元,如果该比特位的值为0,则表示发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时,不需要保存与该比特位对应的配置信元,反之亦然。所述配置信元的保留指示的描述如表1所述。
表格1
Figure PCTCN2014085883-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2014085883-appb-000002
根据表1,假设存在四种配置信元,例如,互不相同的第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元,分别对应四种不同的特性,例如DC-HSDPA,HSDPA,HSUPA,DTX/DRX,4C-HSDPA,DC-HSUPA中的任意四种,所述UE需要离开的无线资源控制连接状态为第一无线资源控制连接状态。在所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述UE与所述基站配置有分别对应于所述第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元的第一、第二、第三、第四配置参数,在所述UE离开所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,如果需要所述UE或所述UE与所述基站将所述第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元都进行保存,则可以将第二比特串的值设置为1111;如果只需要保存第一、第三配置信元,则第二比特串的值可以设置为1010,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站在所述UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时只保存第一、第三配置信元而不保存第二、第四配置信元。
形式2:所述配置信元的保留指示也可以包括多个子配置信元的保留指示,每一个子配置信元的保留指示与所述UE或所述UE与所述基站在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的一个配置信元相对应。如果需要所述UE或所述UE与所述基站在UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时保存某配置信元,则无线网络控制器向所述UE或所述UE与所述基站发送与该配置信元对应的子配置信元的保留指示;如果不需要所述UE或所述UE与所述基站保存某配置信元,则无线网络控制器不向所述UE或所述UE与所述基站发送与该配置信元对应的子配置信元的保留指示。
例如,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站保存有互不相同的第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元,分别对应四种不同的特性,例如DC-HSDPA,HSDPA,HSUPA,DTX/DRX,4C-HSDPA,DC-HSUPA中的任意四种,在UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,如果需要将这四个配置信元都进行保存,则可以发送包括分别与所述第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元相对应的四个子配置信元的保留指示。如果只需要保存所述第一、第三配置信元,则只发送分别与所述第一、第三配置信元相对应的两个 子配置信元的保留指示。
可选的,上述子配置信元的保留指示也可以是配置信元中配置信元的保留指示字段或配置信元的保留指示位。例如,无线网络控制器可以在向所述UE或所述UE与所述基站发送的配置信元中增加配置信元的保留指示字段或配置信元的保留指示位。所述UE或所述UE与所述基站以是否存在配置信元的保留指示字段或配置信元的保留指示位,或配置信元的保留指示字段或配置信元的保留指示位是否为预定值来判定是否需要对配置信元机进行保存。
例如,可规定如果配置信元的保留指示位值为1,则表示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站在离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时需要保存该配置信元;如果该留指示位值为0,则表示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站在离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时需要保存该配置信元。当UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,如果判定配置信元的保留指示位的值为1则保存该配置信元,如果配置信元的保留指示位的值是否为0则删除该配置信元。
形式3:所述配置信元的保留指示也可以为一个固定的保留标识。所述配置信元的保留指示值用于指示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站在所述UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的每一个配置信元。
例如,所述RNC向所述UE或所述UE与所述基站发送的某特定信元或信元的第一位为保留标识位,如果该保存指示位的值为1,即保留标识为1,那么在UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的所有配置信元,相应的,如果该保留标识位的值为0,即保留标识为0,那么在UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站不保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的所有配置信元。
所述启用单元102,用于当所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述UE发送配置信元的第一启用指示,所述第一启用指示用于指示所述UE使用所保留的所述配置信元进行特性配置。
例如,所述启用单元102向所述UE发送无线承载建立消息或重配置消息,所述无线承载建立消息或重配置消息携带所述配置信元的第一启用指示。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述启用单元102,还可以用于当所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述基站发送配置信元的第二启用指示,所述第 二启用指示用于指示所述基站使用所述配置信元进行特性配置。
例如,所述启用单元102向所述基站发送无线链路建立消息或无线链路重配置消息,所述无线链路建立消息或无线链路重配置消息携带所述配置信元的第二启用指示。
在所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,如果需要所述UE或所述UE与所述基站启用所述特性,由于所述UE或所述UE与所述基站已经保留了与所述特性相对应的配置信元,因此无线网络控制器可以不再向所述UE或所述UE与所述基站发送与所述特性相对应的所述配置信元,而是只发送配置信元的启用指示,所述启用指示用于指示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站使用配置信元进行特性配置。当所述UE或所述UE与所述基站接收到配置信元的启用指示后,使用所保存的所述配置信元进行特性配置。
在实际使用中,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站可能保留了多个配置信元,但是只需要使用配置信元中的一个或几个进行特性配置。此时,无线网络控制器可以生成配置信元的启用指示,所述启用指示用于指示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站使用与待启用特性对应的所述待启用配置信元中的待启用配置信元进行特性配置。
在一种具体的实现方式中,所述第二保留指示的形式可能有多种,具体可以参见上述形式1、2和3中的任意一种。例如,所述第二保留指示可以包含第一比特串,所述第一比特串中的每一个比特位与在所述第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的一个配置信元相对应,以比特位的取值表示在发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时是否需要保留与该比特位所对应的配置信元。
在一种具体的实现方式中,所述第一启用指示的形式可能有多种,在实际使用中可以根据需要进行选择。具体可以采用如下形式1、2和3中的任意一种。下面统一采用配置信元的启用指示来说明。
形式1:所述配置信元的启用指示可以包括第四比特串,第四比特串的每一个比特位与一个配置信元相对应,以比特位的取值来表示是否需要使用与该比特位对应的所保存的配置信元进行特性配置。例如,可以约定如果某比特位的值为1,则表示需要使用与该比特位对应的配置信元进行特性配置;如果该比特位的值为0,则表示不需要使用与该比特位对应的配置信元进行特性配置。如果所述UE或所述UE与所述基站保存有四个配置信元:互不相同的第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元,分别对应四种不同的特性,例如DC-HSDPA,HSDPA,HSUPA,DTX/DRX,4C-HSDPA, DC-HSUPA中的任意四种,当需要启用第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元时,则第四比特串的值可以设置为1111;当只需要启用所述第一、第三配置信元,则第四比特串的值可以设置为1010,此时第二、第四配置信元不启用。
需指出的是,第一启用指示与第二启用指示中包含的比特串可以相同,也可以不同。
形式2:所述配置信元的启用指示可以包括一个或多个子配置信元的启用指示,每一个子配置信元的启用指示与一个配置信元相对应,每个子配置信元的启用指示表示需要使用该子配置信元的启用指示对应的所保存的配置信元进行特性配置。例如,当所述UE或所述UE与所述基站已经保留四个配置信元:互不相同的第一、第二、第三、第四配置信元,分别对应四种不同的特性,例如DC-HSDPA,HSDPA,HSUPA,DTX/DRX,4C-HSDPA,DC-HSUPA中的任意四种,如果只需要使用所述第一配置信元进行特性配置则发送与所述第一配置信元对应的子配置信元的启用指示,如果需要启用所述第一、第三配置信元进行特性配置,则发送与所述第一配置信元对应的子配置信元的启用指示及与所述第三配置信元对应的子配置信元的启用指示。
形式3:可以使用一个启用标识来指示是否启用所有的配置信元进行配置。例如,可以预先约定第一信元的某一个比特位作为配置信元的启用指示位,当该比特位的值设置为1时,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站使用所有配置信元进行特性配置;当该比特位的值设置为0时,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站不使用配置信元进行特性配置。或者,当该比特位的值设置为1时,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站使用所有配置信元进行特性配置;当该比特位的值设置为不存在时,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站不使用配置信元进行特性配置。
在一种具体的实现方式中,所述第二启用指示的形式可能有多种,在实际使用中可以根据需要进行选择。具体可以采用如下形式1、2和3中的任意一种。具体可以参见第一启用指示中的相关形式,例如,所述第二启用指示可以包括第三比特串,第三比特串的每一个比特位与一个配置信元相对应,以比特位的取值来表示是否需要使用与该比特位对应的所保存的配置信元进行特性配置,不再赘述。
由于现有UE和基站可能不具有信令开销优化能力,因此,在向UE或UE与基站发送配置信元的保留指示之前,还可以先检测UE或UE与基站是否具有信令开销优化能力。如果UE或UE与基站发送了信令开销优化能力报告,那么就认为UE或UE与基站具有信令开销优化能力。
因此所述装置还可以包括:接收单元,用于接收所述UE上报的第一信令开销优化能力报告,所述第一信令开销优化能力报告用于报告所述UE具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。第一信令开销优化能力报告还可以用于向RNC上报,UE具有根据配置信元的启用指示启用已保存配置信元的能力。所述接收单元,还用于接收基站上报的第二信令开销优化能力报告,所述第二信令开销优化能力报告用于报告所述基站具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。第二信令开销优化能力报告还可以用于向RNC上报,基站具有根据配置信元的启用指示启用已保存配置信元的能力。
另外需要说明的是,所述第一无线资源控制连接状态可以仅为特定的无线资源控制连接状态,例如CELL_DCH,所述RNC仅仅针对特定无线资源控制连接状态向所述UE或UE和基站发送所述配置信元的保留指示或配置信元与配置信元的保留指示,而对其他无线资源控制连接状态,例如URA_PCH,所述RNC不发送配置信元的保留指示及配置信元的启用指示,而是按照现有技术方式在UE或UE与基站需要使用配置信元时发送配置信元。
当然,所述第一无线资源控制连接状态可以为任意一个无线资源控制连接状态。当所述第一无线资源控制连接状态为任意一个无线资源控制连接状态时,为区分不同的无线资源控制连接状态,所述配置信元的保留指示还可以携带标示不同无线资源控制连接状态的标签。同样的,当所述第一无线资源控制连接状态为任意一个无线资源控制连接状态时,为区分不同的无线资源控制连接状态,所述配置信元的启用指示也可以携带标示不同无线资源控制连接状态的标签。
在本实施例中,指示单元,用于向UE或UE和基站发送配置信元的保留指示,所述保留指示用于指示所述UE或UE和基站在发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元;启用单元,用于当所述UE或UE和基站在UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述UE或UE和基站发送配置信元的启用指示,所述启用指示用于指示所述UE或UE和基站使用所述配置信元进行特性配置。采用本实施例,UE或UE与基站可以根据RNC的指示保留配置信元而不进行删除,在UE或UE与基站需要启用特性时,可以通过根据配置信元的启用指示使用保留的配置信元进行配置,减少了配置信元的传输,从而节省了信令资源。
参见图2,为本发明特性配置装置另一个实施例的示意图。所述特性配置装置可 以设置在无线网络控制器上或者也可以是无线网络控制器本身。如果UE或UE与基站可能在发生资源控制连接状态转移时保留已经保存的配置信元而不进行删除。那么RNC可以直接向用户设备UE发送配置信元,以便于所述UE保留所述配置信元。其中,所述第一无线资源控制连接状态为CELL_DCH状态、CELL_PCH状态、CELL_FACH状态或URA_PCH状态中的任意一种。
如图2所示,所述装置包括:接收单元201、发送单元202与启用单元203。
所述接收单元201,用于接收用户设备UE上报的第一信令开销优化能力报告,所述第一信令开销优化能力报告用于报告UE具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。
RNC可以通过信令开销优化能力报告判定基站与UE是否会在UE发生无线资源控制连接状态转移时保留配置信元。
所述发送单元202,用于向所述UE发送配置信元,以便于所述UE保留所述配置信元。
所述启用单元203,用于在所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述RNC向所述UE发送配置信元的第一启用指示,所述第一启用指示用于指示所述UE使用所述配置信元进行特性配置。
所述第一启用指示可以包括第二比特串,所述第二比特串的每一个比特位与一个所述配置信元相对应,以每个比特位的取值来表示是否需要使用与该比特位对应的所保存的配置信元进行特性配置。所述第一启用指示也可以包括一个或多个子配置信元的启用指示,每一个子配置信元的启用指示与一个配置信元相对应,表示需要使用该子配置信元的启用指示对应的所保存的配置信元进行特性配置。所述第一启用指示也可以包括一个或多个子配置信元的启用指示,每一个子配置信元的启用指示与一个配置信元相对应,表示需要使用该子配置信元的启用指示对应的所保存的配置信元进行特性配置。关于第一启用指示的详细描述可以参见图1对应的实施例,在此就不再赘述。
RNC可以只向UE发送配置信元;也可以向UE与基站发送配置信元,以便于所述基站保留所述配置信元。
因此,一种可能的实现方式中,所述接收单元201,还用于接收基站上报的第二信令开销优化能力报告,所述第二信令开销优化能力报告用于报告所述基站具有保留 在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。

向基站发送配置信元及第二启用指示的方式与向UE发送配置信元及第一启用指示的方式,在此就不再赘述。
采用本实施例,UE或UE与基站可以根据RNC的指示保留配置信元而不进行删除,在UE或UE与基站需要启用特性时,可以通过根据配置信元的启用指示使用保留的配置信元进行配置,减少了配置信元的传输,从而节省了信令资源。
参见图3,为本发明特性配置装置另一个实施例的示意图。该特性配置装置可以设置在UE或基站上,或者也可以是UE或基站本身。
如图3所示,所述装置包括:接收单元301、保存单元302、确定单元303与启用单元304。所述装置具体可以为无线通信设备,或者,无线通信设备的组成部件。
其中,所述接收单元301,用于接收无线网络控制器RNC发送的配置信元的保留指示,所述保留指示用于指示无线通信设备保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元。其中,无线通信设备可以是指UE或基站。
接收单元301可以根据接收配置信元的保留指示的内容确定配置信元。所述保留指示可以包含第一比特串或者一个以上子配置信元的保留指示或者保留标识。所属配置信元的保留指示的发送方式第一比特串、子配置信元的保留指示及保留标识的形式及作用,以及根据配置信元的保留指示确定配置信元的方式可以参见图1对应的实施例,在此就不再赘述。
所述保存单元302,用于保留所述配置信元。例如,所述保存单元302,可以在UE发生无线资源控制连接状态转移时,保留所述配置信元而不进行删除。
所述确定单元303,用于在接收到配置信元的启用指示时,根据所述配置信元的启用指示及所述保留的配置信元确定待启用配置信元。
由于配置信元的启用指示的形式可能会有多种,确定单元303可以根据配置信 元的启用指示的不同形式采用不同的方式确定待启用配置信元。所述确定单元303,可以用于在所述配置信元的启用指示包含第二比特串时,将第二比特串中比特值为特定值的比特位所对应的配置信元作为待启用配置信元。或者,也用于在所述配置信元的启用指示包含子配置信元的启用指示时,将每一个子配置信元的启用指示所指示的配置信元作为待启用配置信元。或者,也用于在所述配置信元的启用指示包含启用标识时,将所有所述配置信元作为待启用配置信元。
所述启用单元304,用于使用所述待启用配置信元进行特性配置。
采用待启用配置信元进行配置的方式与现有技术中使用配置信元进行特性配置的过程相类似,在此就不再赘述。
采用本实施例,无线通信设备可以根据RNC的指示保留配置信元而不进行删除,在UE或UE与基站需要启用特性时,可以通过根据配置信元的启用指示使用保留的配置信元进行配置,减少了配置信元的传输,从而节省了信令资源。
参见图4,为本发明特性配置装置另一个实施例的示意图。该特性配置装置可以是设置在无线通信设备上,或者也可以是无线通信设备本身,其中,无线通信设备可以是UE或基站。
如图4所示,所述装置包括:发送单元401、接收单元402、保存单元403、确定单元404与启用单元405。
无线通信设备具有在UE发生无线资源控制连接状态转移时保留已保存配置信元而不进行删除的能力时,可以首先向无线网络控制器上报该能力。以便利用该能力实现信令开销优化,节约信令资源。
发送单元401,用于向无线网络控制器RNC发送信令开销优化能力报告,所述信令开销优化能力报告用于报告所述无线通信设备具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。
RNC在确定所述无线通信设备具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力后,为节省信令开销,可以向无线通信设备发送配置信元,配置信元可以是与某特定无线资源控制连接状态下的特性所对应的配置信元,也可以所有无线资源控制连接状态下的特性所对应的配置信元。
接收单元402,用于接收所述RNC发送的配置信元。
保存单元403,用于保留所述配置信元。
所述接收单元402,还用于接收所述RNC发送的配置信元的启用指示。
在UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时,利用配置信元保留能力,保留所述配置信元。
确定单元404,用于当接收到所述启用指示时,根据所述启用指示及所述配置信元确定待启用配置信元。
如果所述启用指示包含第二比特串,将第二比特串中比特值为特定值的比特位所对应的配置信元作为待启用配置信元。如果所述启用指示包含子配置信元的启用指示,将每一个子配置信元的启用指示所指示的配置信元作为待启用配置信元。如果所述启用指示包含启用标识,将所有所述配置信元作为待启用配置信元。
因此所述确定单元404,可以用于当所述启用指示包含第二比特串时,将第二比特串中比特值为特定值的比特位所对应的配置信元作为待启用配置信元。或者,用于当所述启用指示包含子配置信元的启用指示时,将每一个子配置信元的启用指示所指示的配置信元作为待启用配置信元。或者,用于当所述启用指示包含启用标识时,将所有所述配置信元作为待启用配置信元。
配置单元,用于使用所述待启用配置信元进行特性配置。
采用待启用配置信元进行配置的方式与现有技术中使用配置信元进行特性配置的过程相类似,在此就不再赘述。
采用本实施例,所述无线通信设备可以根据RNC的指示保留配置信元而不进行删除,在所述无线通信设备需要启用特性时,可以通过根据配置信元的启用指示使用保留的配置信元进行配置,减少了配置信元的传输,从而节省了信令资源。
参见图5,为本发明特性配置方法一个实施例的示意图。
步骤501,无线网络控制器RNC向用户设备UE发送配置信元的第一保留指示,所述第一保留指示用于指示所述UE保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的所述配置信元。
在本发明的另一种可能的实现方式中,无线网络控制器还向所述UE发送所述配置信元和所述配置信元的第一保留指示。
可选的,无线网络控制器在向UE发送配置信元的保留指示之前,无线网络控制器还可以接收所述UE上报的第一信令开销优化能力报告。所述第一信令开销优化 能力报告用于报告所述UE在离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时保留在所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元的能力
在本发明的另一种可能的实现方式中,所述无线网络控制器还向基站发送所述配置信元的第二保留指示,所述第二保留指示还用于指示所述基站保留在所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元。
在本发明的另一种可能的实现方式中,所述无线网络控制器还向所述基站发送配置信元的第二保留指示或向基站发送配置信元和所述配置信元的第二保留指示,所述第二保留指示还用于指示所述基站保留在所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元。
可选的,无线网络控制器在向基站发送配置信元的保留指示之前,控制器还可以接收所述基站上报的第二信令开销优化能力报告。所述第二信令开销优化能力报告用于报告所述基站在UE离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元的能力。
所述无线网络控制器通过所述第一保留指示可以指示所述UE保留所述配置信元,此时,所述无线网络控制器也保留所述配置信元;进一步地,所述无线网络控制器通过所述第二保留指示可以指示所述基站保留所述配置信元,此时,所述无线网络控制器既可以保留所述配置信元,也可以不保留所述配置信元。也就是说,只要网络和UE同时保留所述配置信元即可。
例如,所述第一保留指示用于指示所述UE在所述UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时保留所要离开的无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元。
例如,所述第二保留指示用于指示所述基站在UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移时保留所要离开的无线资源控制连接状态时的所述配置信元。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述无线网络控制器可以在所述UE初次进入或再次进入或处于所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述UE发送第一保留指示或向所述UE发送配置信元和第一保留指示。进一步的,所述无线网络控制器可以在所述UE初次进入或再次进入或处于所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述基站发送第二保留指示或向所述基站发送配置信元和第二保留指示。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述无线网络控制器也可以在所述UE从所述第一无线资源控制连接状态迁移至第二无线资源控制连接状态时,即发生无线资源控制连 接状态迁移,向所述UE发送第一保留指示或向所述UE发送配置信元和第一保留指示。进一步的,所述无线网络控制器也可以在所述UE从所述第一无线资源控制连接状态迁移至第二无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述基站发送第二保留指示或向所述基站发送配置信元和第二保留指示。其中,所述第一无线资源控制连接状态和第二无线资源控制连接状态不同。
所述第一无线资源控制连接状态是UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移前所处的无线资源控制连接状态,所述第二无线资源控制连接状态是UE发生无线资源控制连接状态迁移后的无线资源控制连接状态,且不同于所述第一无线资源控制连接状态,所述第一、二无线资源控制连接状态可以是CELL_DCH状态,CELL_PCH状态,CELL_FACH状态,URA_PCH状态等RRC连接状态中的任意一种。
在本发明的另一实施例中,可以仅仅针对所述UE离开某一种无线资源控制连接状态,例如所述UE离开CELL_DCH状态或CELL_PCH状态或CELL_FACH状态或URA_PCH状态,所述无线网络控制器仅仅针对该离开的无线资源控制连接状态向向所述UE发送第一保留指示或向所述UE发送配置信元和第一保留指示。进一步的,所述无线网络控制器可以在仅仅针对所述UE离开上述某一种无线资源控制连接状态时,向所述基站发送第二保留指示或向所述基站发送配置信元和第二保留指示。而在离开另一无线资源控制连接状态,所述无线网络控制器不发送所述配置信元的保留指示,而是都需要向UE发送同样的配置信元。
在本发明的另一实施例中,还可以针对所述UE离开的任意无线资源控制连接状态,所述无线网络控制器向UE发送所述第一保留指示。为区分不同的无线资源控制连接状态,所述第一保留指示携带标示不同无线资源控制连接状态的标签。进一步地,针对所述UE离开的任意无线资源控制连接状态,所述无线网络控制器向基站发送所述第二保留指示,所述第二保留指示携带标示不同无线资源控制连接状态的标签。
因此,所述无线网络控制器指示所述UE或UE和基站保留所述第一无线资源控制连接状态下所保存的所述配置信元,以便于在所述UE再次进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,可以直接使用保留的所述配置信元进行对应的所述配置特性配置。
所述第一保留指示可以在发生状态迁移即离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,以重配置消息的形式下发;或者,也可以在特性的初始特性配置阶段下发,例如在空口可通过无线承载(RB,radio bearer)建立消息或重配置消息发送给UE。所述第二 保留指示可以在发生状态迁移即离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时,以重配置消息的形式下发;或者,也可以在特性的初始特性配置阶段下发,例如,在Iub口可通过无线链路(RL,radio link)建立消息或无线链路重配置消息发送给基站。
所述第一保留指示和第二保留指示的形式可能有多种,在实际使用中可以根据需要进行选择。所述配置信元的保留指示的具体内容可以参见图1所对应的实施例,在此就不再赘述。
步骤502,当所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述RNC向所述UE发送配置信元的第一启用指示,所述第一启用指示用于指示所述UE使用所述配置信元进行特性配置。
例如,所述无线网络控制器向所述UE发送无线承载建立消息或重配置消息,所述无线承载建立消息或重配置消息携带所述配置信元的第一启用指示。
一种可能的实现方式中,当所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述无线网络控制器还向所述基站发送配置信元的第二启用指示,所述第二启用指示还用于指示所述基站使用所保存的所述配置信元进行特性配置。
例如,所述无线网络控制器向所述基站发送链路建立消息或链路重配置消息,所述链路建立消息或链路重配置消息携带所述配置信元的第二启用指示。
在所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,由于所述UE或所述UE与所述基站已经保留了与所述特性相对应的配置信元,因此无线网络控制器可以不再向所述UE或所述UE与所述基站发送与所述特性相对应的所述配置信元,而是只发送配置信元的启用指示。当所述UE或所述UE与所述基站接收到配置信元的启用指示后,使用所保存的所述配置信元进行特性配置。
在实际使用中,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站可能保留了多个配置信元,但是只需要使用配置信元中的一个或几个进行特性配置。此时,无线网络控制器可以生成配置信元的启用指示,所述启用指示用于指示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站使用与待启用特性对应的所述待启用配置信元中的待启用配置信元进行特性配置。所述配置信元的启用指示的形式和内容设置可以参见图1所对应的实施例,在此就不再赘述。
在本发明的另一种可能的实现方式中,可以仅仅针对所述UE重新进入的某一种无线资源控制连接状态,例如所述UE重新进入CELL_DCH状态或CELL_PCH状态或CELL_FACH状态或URA_PCH状态,所述无线网络控制器仅仅针对该重新进 入的无线资源控制连接状态向所述UE发送所述配置信元的第一启用指示或向所述UE发送配置信元和第一启用指示。进一步地,可以仅仅针对所述UE重新进入的上述某一种无线资源控制连接状态,所述无线网络控制器仅仅针对该重新进入的无线资源控制连接状态向所述基站发送所述配置信元的第二启用指示或向所述基站发送配置信元和第二启用指示。而在所述UE进入另一无线资源控制连接状态,所述无线网络控制器不发送所述配置信元的启用指示,而是都需要向UE发送对应的配置信元。
在本发明的另一可能的实现方式中,还可以针对所述UE进入任意无线资源控制连接状态,所述无线网络控制器向UE发送所述配置信元的第一启用指示。进一步地,还可以针对所述UE进入任意无线资源控制连接状态,所述无线网络控制器向基站发送所述配置信元的第二启用指示。为区分不同的无线资源控制连接状态,所述配置信元的第一启用指示携带标示不同无线资源控制连接状态的标签,所述第二启用指示携带标示不同无线资源控制连接状态的标签。
采用本实施例,UE或UE与基站可以根据RNC的指示保留配置信元而不进行删除,在UE或UE与基站需要启用特性时,可以通过根据配置信元的启用指示使用保留的配置信元进行配置,减少了配置信元的传输,从而节省了信令资源。
参见图6为本发明特性配置方法另一个实施例的流程图。如果UE或UE和基站有配置信元保留能力,则可以采用如下方式进行特性配置。
步骤601,无线网络控制器RNC接收用户设备UE上报的第一信令开销优化能力报告,所述第一信令开销优化能力报告用于报告UE具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。
在向UE发送配置信元之前,RNC首先接收UE上报的第一信令开销优化能力报告,所述第一信令开销优化能力报告用于报告UE具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。当接收到第一信令开销优化能力报告后,RNC可以确定UE会在发生无线资源控制连接状态转移时,保留已保存的配置信元而不进行删除,此时RNC可以直接向UE发送需要所述UE进行保留的配置信元,以便UE对配置信元进行保存。
一种可能的实现方式中,在向基站发送配置信元之前,RNC还可以首先接收所述基站上报的第二信令开销优化能力报告,所述第二信令开销优化能力报告用于报告所述基站具有保留在第一无线资源控制连接状态下保存的配置信元的能力。当接收到第二信令开销优化能力报告后,RNC可以确定基站会在UE发生无线资源控制连接 状态转移时,保留已保存的配置信元而不进行删除,此时RNC可以直接向基站发送需要所述基站进行保留的配置信元。
步骤602,所述RNC向所述UE发送配置信元,以便于所述UE保留所述配置信元。
在所述一种可能的实现方式中,所述RNC向所述基站发送配置信元,以便于所述基站保留所述配置信元。
如果通信系统已经预先设定具有信令开销优化能力的UE或UE与基站会在发生离开第一无线资源控制连接状态时保留已经保存的配置信元而不进行删除。那么RNC也可以直接向所述UE或UE与基站发送配置信元,以便于所述UE或UE与基站保留所述配置信元。
步骤603,在所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述RNC向所述UE发送配置信元的第一启用指示,所述第一启用指示用于指示所述UE使用所述配置信元进行特性配置。
在所述一种可能的实现方式中,当所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,所述RNC除向所述UE发送所述配置信元的第一启用指示外,还可以向所述基站发送所述配置信元的第二启用指示,所述第二启用指示还用于指示所述基站使用所述配置信元进行特性配置。
在所述UE重新进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态时,由于所述UE或所述UE与所述基站已经保留了与所述特性相对应的配置信元,因此无线网络控制器可以不再向所述UE或所述UE与所述基站发送与所述特性相对应的所述配置信元,而是只发送配置信元的启用指示,所述启用指示用于指示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站使用配置信元进行特性配置。当所述UE或所述UE与所述基站接收到配置信元的启用指示后,使用所保存的所述配置信元进行特性配置。
在实际使用中,所述UE或所述UE与所述基站可能保留了多个配置信元,但是只需要使用配置信元中的一个或几个进行特性配置。此时,无线网络控制器可以生成配置信元的启用指示,所述启用指示用于指示所述UE或所述UE与所述基站使用与待启用特性对应的所述待启用配置信元中的待启用配置信元进行特性配置。所述配置信元的启用指示的形式和内容设置可以参见图1所述实施例,在此就不再赘述。
值得说明的是,本实施例中,在UE初始进入所述第一无线资源控制连接状态 时,仅UE具有保留第一无线资源控制连接状态下的配置信元的能力,考虑到部分配置信元所对应的配置参数可能由基站参与生成,因此,当所述RNC确定需要启用的配置信元的配置参数与基站生成的配置参数不一致时,所述RNC仍需要发送该配置信元,而不发送配置信元的启用指示。
下面以CELL_DCH为例,对本发明做进一步说明。
参见图7,为本发明特性配置方法另一个实施例的示意图。本实施例中,在UE初始进入CELL_DCH状态,RNC仅对UE发送配置信元的保留指示和配置信元的启用指示,所述保留指示用于指示所述UE保存所述配置信元,所述启用指示用于指示所述UE使用所述UE使用所保留的配置信元进行所述配置信元所对应的配置特性配置。其中,在所述UE启用特性时,该特性对应的配置参数可能由基站参与生成,因此,当所述RNC确定需要启用的配置信元的配置参数与基站生成的配置参数不一致时,所述RNC仍需要发送该配置信元,而不发送配置信元的启用指示,所述特性配置方法如下所述
步骤701,在UE进入CELL_DCH状态时,RNC向UE发送配置信元的保留指示。
其中,所述配置信元的保留指示用于指示UE保留在CELL_DCH状态下的配置信元。
例如,所述RNC向所述用户设备发送无线承载建立消息或重配置消息,所述无线承载建立消息或重配置消息携带所述配置信元的保留指示。所述配置信元的保留指示具体如图1实施例所描述的内容,在此不再赘述。
可选的,RNC在向UE发送配置信元的保留指示之前,控制器还可以接收UE上报的信令开销优化能力报告。所述信令开销优化能力报告用于报告UE在离开CELL_DCH状态时保留在CELL_DCH时的所述配置信元的能力。
在发送配置信元的保留指示之前,RNC还可以先指示基站进行无线链路建立或无线链路重配置。无线链路建立或无线链路重配置的方式与现有技术相类似,在此就不再赘述。
步骤702,当UE离开CELL_DCH状态时,UE保留配置信元。
当UE的数据传输需求降低时,可以采用如物理信道重配置的方式指示所述UE进行状态迁移。UE在进行状态迁移时根据配置信元的保留指示保留配置信元。
在UE发生状态迁移后,RNC可以指示基站删除已建立的链路。
步骤703,当UE再次进入CELL_DCH状态时,RNC向UE发送配置信元的启用指示。
其中,所述配置信元的启用指示用于指示所述UE使用所保存的所述配置信元进行特性配置。
例如,所述控制器向所述用户设备发送无线承载建立消息或重配置消息,所述无线承载建立消息或重配置消息携带所述配置信元的启用指示。所述配置信元的启用指示具体如图1实施例所描述的内容,在此不再赘述。
在UE再次进入CELL_DCH状态之前,RNC可以首先指示所述基站重新建立链路。链路建立的具体过程在此就不再赘述。
本实施例中,所述RNC不需要指示基站保留所述配置信元,但所述RNC自身需要保存所述配置信元。在所述UE重新进入所述CELL_DCH状态时,所述RNC和所述基站发起待启用特性的配置过程,所述基站生成对应的配置信元,当所述RNC收到所述基站的配置反馈后,所述RNC将所述基站生成的配置信元和所述RNC所保存的配置信元进行对比。如果所述基站生成的配置信元和所述RNC所保存的配置信元相同,并且所述RNC确定需要启用待启用特性时,所述RNC向所述UE发送配置信元的启用指示,指示所述UE使用所述UE所保存的配置信元进行特性配置;如果所述基站生成的配置信元和所述控制器所保存的配置信元不相同,所述RNC重新向所述UE发送与所述待启用特性相对应的配置信元。
根据上述实施例的描述,所述特性配置方法不需要重复发送同样的配置信元,而使UE采用其自身保存的配置信元进行配置参数的配置,所述可以降低或避免信令资源浪费,提高空口信令数传的成功率。
参见图8,为本发明特性配置方法另一个实施例的示意图。在本实施例中,在UE初始进入CELL_DCH状态,RNC向UE发送配置信元的第一保留指示,所述第一保留指示用于指示所述UE保留CELL_DCH状态下的所述配置信元,RNC向基站发送配置信元的第二保留指示,所述第二保留指示用于指示所述基站保留CELL_DCH状态下的所述配置信元。其中第一保留指示和第二保留指示的形式可以相同。在UE重新进入CELL_DCH状态时,所述RNC向所述UE发送配置信元的第一启用指示,所述第一启用指示用于指示所述UE使用保留的所述配置信元,启用对 应的特性,所述RNC向所述基站发送所述配置信元的第二启用指示,所述第二启用指示用于指示所述基站使用保留的配置信元,启用对应的特性。其中第二启用指示和第一启用指示的形式可以相同。

例如,所述RNC向所述基站发送无线链路建立消息或无线链路重配置消息,所述无线链路建立消息或无线链路重配置消息携带所述配置信元的第二保留指示。所述第二保留指示具体如图1实施例所描述的内容,在此不再赘述。
对应所述UE所需要启用的特性,所述RNC还需要向所述基站发送所述特性对应的配置信元。
可选的,在发送配置信元的保留指示之前,所述RNC还可以接收基站上报的第二信令开销优化能力报告。所述第二信令开销优化能力报告用于报告基站在UE离开CELL_DCH状态时保留配置信元的能力。所述第二信令开销优化能力报告的内容可以包括但不限于基站保留配置信元的触发方式和启用已保留配置信元的触发方式。
步骤802,RNC向UE发送所述配置信元的第一保留指示。
其中,所述第一保留指示还用于指示所述UE保留在CELL_DCH下的配置信元。
例如,所述RNC向所述用户设备发送无线承载建立消息或重配置消息,所述无线承载建立消息或重配置消息携带所述配置信元的第一保留指示。所述第一保留指示具体如图1实施例所描述的内容,在此不再赘述。
第二保留指示和第一保留指示的形式和内容设置可以相同。
可选的,RNC在向UE发送配置信元的保留指示之前,控制器还可以接收UE上报的第一信令开销优化能力报告。所述第一信令开销优化能力报告用于报告所述UE在离开CELL_DCH状态时保留在CELL_DCH时的所述配置信元的能力。
在发送承载建立或重配指示之前,RNC还可以先指示UE进行承载建立或重配。
步骤803,当UE离开CELL_DCH状态时,UE对指定配置进行保留。
当UE的数据传输需求降低时,可以采用如物理信道重配置的方式指示所述UE 进行状态迁移。并且可以对已经建立的链路及承载进行重配。当UE离开CELL_DCH状态时,UE对指定配置进行保留。
步骤804,基站对所述配置信元进行保留。
步骤805,当UE再次进入CELL_DCH状态时,RNC向基站发送配置信元的第二启用指示。
其中,所述第二启用指示用于指示所述基站使用所保存的所述配置信元进行特性配置。
例如,所述控制器向所述基站发送无线链路建立消息或无线链路重配置消息,所述无线链路建立消息或无线链路重配置消息携带所述配置信元的第二启用指示。所述第二启用指示具体如图1实施例所描述的内容,在此不再赘述。
步骤806,当UE再次进入CELL_DCH状态时,RNC向UE发送配置信元的第一启用指示。
