Description
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种数据转发方法、移动锚点及计算机存储介质。
随着无线通信技术和标准的不断演进,移动分组业务得到巨大发展,用户设备(UE,User Equipment)或称终端的数据吞吐能力不断提升。以长期演进(LTE,Long Term Evolution)系统为例,在20M带宽内可以支持下行最大速率100Mbps的数据传输,后续的增强型LTE网络中,数据的传输速率将进一步提升,甚至可以达到1Gbps。
为了满足数据业务量的增长需求,以及业务在地域上不平均的特点,运营商在部署新一代通信网络(如LTE)的过程中,也在增加低功率节点(LPN,Low Power Node)。LPN具有低成本、低功率以及方便部署等特点,通常可以包括热点部署和增强覆盖两种部署场景,能够有效地提高室内或室外热点区域高速率数据业务的数据速率,改善边远地区或小区边缘覆盖。通常LPN也可称为小基站,其可以包括但不限于:家庭基站(HeNB)、微微基站(pico)、射频拉远单元/头(RRU/RRH)、中继节点(RN)。
然而,随着LPN小区的增加,网络部署环境变得更加复杂,同时也带来一些问题。首先,因为LPN小区的覆盖范围相比于宏小区(Macro Cell)要小得多,容量也相对较小,某些LPN小区可能会因被用户占满而导致负荷过高,从而影响用户数据的吞吐量,而另外一些LPN小区或宏小区会处在相对较低的负荷水平上,如果要平衡负荷,需要网络侧执行负荷均衡操作,但该过程不够灵活,尤其当小区较多时,这种灵活性的缺乏导致的负
荷不均就更严重。另外,由于LPN小区数量比较多,因此UE在网络内发生移动时,会导致频繁的小区间切换(Handover),从而导致频繁的数据业务中断甚至是掉话等问题,这也会导致用户的数据吞吐量和用户体验的下降。同时,这种频繁的切换也会导致终端与网络,尤其是核心网会收到大量的信令冲击,从而可能导致系统资源拥塞甚至瘫痪。
目前,为了解决上述问题,不少公司和运营商都倾向于寻求一种新的增强方案,双连接(DC,Dual Connectivity)就是其中之一。在双连接的网络架构下,UE可以同时与两个或两个以上(本文所述双连接只是一个泛称,并不限制连接个数)网络节点保持连接。图1是相关技术中双连接的网络架构示意图。其中,主节点称为主控基站(MeNB,Master eNB),一般指宏基站节点,而其他节点称为受控基站(SeNB,Secondary eNB),一般指微基站或低功率节点。这样,UE同时与宏小区和LPN小区保持连接,在网络负荷不均衡时,网络侧可以实时调控UE在MeNB和SeNB节点上的传输数据量;同时,如果UE移动或其他原因导致SeNB小区变更时,另外一个小区还可以保持连接,且这种变更不会导致过多的信令冲击。
如图1所示,对于每一个UE来说,在控制面上,MeNB通过S1-C连接到移动管理实体(MME,Mobility Management Entity),MeNB和SeNB之间通过X2-C连接。在用户面上,对于MCG承载,MeNB通过S1-U连接到服务网关(S-GW,Serving Gateway),SeNB不参加到用户面的数据传输。对于split承载,MeNB通过S1-U连接到S-GW,MeNB通过X2-U连接到SeNB。对于SCG承载,SeNB通过S1-U连接到S-GW,MeNB不参加到用户面的数据传输。
另外,在如图2所示的LTE的用户面数据协议栈中,从核心网经用户层面通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)隧道协议(GTP-U,GPRS Tunneling Protocol for the User Plane)收到的下行数据,经
解包后通过分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)子层、无线链路控制(RLC,Radio Link Control)协议子层、媒体接入控制(MAC,Medium Access Control)协议子层和物理层(PHY)处理后发送给用户设备;上行数据的发送与下行数据正好相反。而且,第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP,3rd Generation Partnership Project)在讨论Release 12双连接时,存在两种用户面的分流方式:一种是1A,UE在MeNB和SeNB上的承载用户面直接连接在S-GW上,如图3所示;另一种是3C,MeNB做分流锚点,数据在PDCP层与RLC层发生分流,分别发送给MeNB和SeNB进行传递,如图4所示。
基于上述理论,在之前3GPP对双连接架构的讨论中,采用移动锚点(MA,mobility anchor)作为一种S1接口的代理来减少由于UE频繁切换给核心网带来的大量的信令冲击。同样地,可以考虑在如图5所示的双连接架构中,将具备X2接口代理功能的移动锚点既做控制面汇聚,也做用户面汇聚,即控制面的信令和用户面的数据均通过移动锚点进行转发。然而,在将具备X2接口代理功能的移动锚点作为用户面汇聚时,有必要打通经过具有X2数据面代理功能的移动锚点的数据发送或者前传的通道,使得用户面数据从MeNB或者SeNB经过移动锚点发送到对端的SeNB或者MeNB。
