Description

多载波中邻近业务的处理方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域，具体而言，涉及一种多载波中邻近业务的处理方法及装置。
背景技术
随着无线多媒体业务的发展，人们对高数据速率和用户体验的需求日益增长，从而对传统蜂窝网络的系统容量和覆盖提出了较高要求。另一方面社交网络、近距离数据共享、本地广告等应用的流行使得人们对了解附近感兴趣的人或事物并与之通信(如邻近服务)的需求逐渐增加。传统以基站为中心的蜂窝网络在高数据速率以及邻近服务(Proximity Services，简称为ProSe)的支持方面存在明显的局限性，在这种需求背景下，代表未来通信技术发展新方向的D2D技术应运而生。D2D技术的应用，可以减轻蜂窝网络的负担、减少用户设备的电池功耗、提高数据速率，并改善网络基础设施的鲁棒性，很好地满足上述高数据速率业务和邻近服务的要求。
D2D业务(或ProSe业务)可以工作在授权频段或非授权频段，允许多个支持D2D功能的用户设备，即D2D用户设备(D2D User Equipment，简称为D2D UE)在有网络基础设施或无网络基础设施的情况下进行D2D业务。D2D业务通常包括：邻近直接发现(Prose Direct Discovery)技术和D2D通信技术；其中，邻近直接发现技术是指用于判断或确定两个或多个D2D用户设备之间相互邻近(例如在可进行D2D通讯范围之内)或用于判断或确定第一用户设备邻近的第二用户设备的技术。通常，D2D用户设备间可通过发送或接收发现信号或信息来发现对方，在有蜂窝网络覆盖下，网络可辅助D2D用户设备进行邻近直接发现；D2D通信技术是指D2D用户设备之间部分或全部通信数据可以不通过网络基础设施而直接进行通信的技术。
邻近区域的终端利用D2D通讯能够给终端带来很多好处，比如更高的速率，更低的延迟以及更小的功耗，同时也极大地提高了运营商的无线资源效率，D2D的Relay模式有利于运营商提高无线覆盖；对于应用来说利用D2D通讯过程中的邻近信息可以开发出更加吸引人的新业务。公共安全(Public Safety)系统也可以利用D2D技术实现没有无线覆盖的情况下终端之间的通讯。
邻近直接发现技术又分为两种不同的方式，一种方式是D2D直接发现(Direct Discovery)，另一种方式为演进的分组网络(Evolved Packet Core简称为，EPC)方式，也就是经过核心网保存各终端的地理位置信息，根据此信息进一步提供邻近直接发现功能。
在实际部署中终端驻留在某小区时，有可能监听其他多个载频的邻近业务的消息，例如邻近发现业务和/或邻近通信业务。同时，终端也有可能会在其他载波上监听邻近业务消息。而由于部署原因，基站无法获得这些载频的资源位置信息，因此当终端仅支持一个无线发送 器时，终端的LTE业务和在非服务小区载频上进行的邻近业务，由于终端仅支持一个无线发送器，也就是说终端无法在两个频点同时发送该邻近业务导致时域上的冲突。
针对相关技术中由于终端仅支持一个无线发送器，因此终端无法在两个频点同时发送邻近业务导致时域上的冲突的问题，目前尚未有有效的解决方案。

步骤S12：基站将配置在测量间隔的时域范围内的辅助信息作为第二时域信息，和/或，将配置在非连续接收的非活动时间范围内的辅助信息作为第二时域信息。
由上述步骤S11和步骤S12可知，在本实施例中可以采用基于非连续接收(DRX)方式，将终端执行邻近业务的辅助信息考虑在DRX的非活动时间内。因此，终端可以在DRX周期内的非活动时间内进行邻近业务；或是，采用基于配置测量间隔，基站在设计测量间隔时，将终端执行邻近业务的辅助信息考虑在测量间隔的配置的时域范围内。因此，终端可以在测量间隔配置内进行邻近业务。

下面结合本发明的可选实施例对本发明进行举例说明；
本可选实施例提供了一种解决邻近业务多载波场景冲突的方法，该方法的步骤包括：
步骤S301：终端向基站发送冲辅助信息；
其中，该辅助信息可以是以下至少之一：冲突解决模式的信息和/或非服务小区载频资源池信息；
此外，该冲突解决辅助信息还包括终端希望在非服务小区载频上执行邻近业务的频率信息；对于本可选实施例中涉及到的邻近可以是以下至少之一：邻近发现的接收、邻近发现的发送、邻近通信的接收、邻近通信的发送；
本可选实施例中涉及到的冲突解决模式用于指示终端希望执行邻近业务的调度期(也就是时域信息)：该希望执行邻近业务的调度期是由终端综合所有感兴趣的载频上的资源池的时域信息，计算出的邻近业务的可用时间段。
该冲突解决模式包括：第一模式(对应上述实施例中的冲突解决模式)和第二模式(对应于上述实施例中的服务小区载频资源池)，其中第一模式的信息由调度期由偏移值，周期值，活动时长表示；第二模式的信息由调度期由比特图、偏移值、周期值表示；
其中，偏移值是相对服务小区SFN为0时的偏移量，目的是节点计算终端希望执行邻近业务的调度期的起始位置；周期值是指调度期的周期时间长度,节点以周期值循环计算调度期的时域；活动时长是指邻近业务所需要的时域信息，通过周期和活动时长，节点可以计算出终端希望执行邻近业务的调度期以及终端希望执行LTE业务的调度期；比特图可以标识一个或多个无线帧内终端希望执行邻近业务的调度信息。
非服务小区载频资源池信息是指非服务小区载频的邻近业务的资源池信息，包括随路发现(sidelink discovery)和/或随路通信(sildelink communication)，包括上述两种业务的发送(announcement)和/或接收(monitor)资源池；该资源池信息可以使用SL-DiscResourcePool参数表示，或使用周期，偏移等参数表示。
步骤S302：基站参考冲突解决辅助信息，配置终端的冲突解决配置(对应于上述实施例中的配置信息)；
冲突解决配置包括配置调度期和冲突的业务类型信息；
调度期可以是如下的方式之一：
方式一：调度期是测量间隔(measurement gap)；
其中，基站为终端配置间隔模型gapPattern和间隔偏移gapOffset，gap周期，通过这两个参数，终端可以计算出测量调度期所在的SFN位置和子帧位置。测量可以是新增测量事件，如邻近业务在多载波场景下新增的测量类型，或者是复用相关技术中的测量类型。
方式二：调度期是非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception，简称为DRX)周期中的非活动时 间(inactive time)
其中，基站为终端配置DRX，非活动时间是DRX配置的周期内除去活动时间(active time)之外的时间段。调度期在此方式下为非活动时间；其中，活动时间是指执行LTE的时间，非活动时间是指执行邻近业务的时间。
步骤S303：终端根据冲突解决配置使用本载频和/或非服务小区载频的资源进行邻近业务。
终端根据配置中的调度期和业务类型信息，进行相应的邻近业务。
如果基站配置多个调度期和对应的业务类型信息，则终端在不同的非活动区域中执行不同的类型的邻近业务。
下面将结合本发明的可选实施例对本发明进行详细的说明；
可选实施例一
本可选实施例为终端向基站发送冲突解决辅助信息为冲突解决模式中第一模式的信息，图6是根据本发明可选实施例的解决邻近业务多载波场景冲突的方法流程图一，如图6所示，该方法的步骤包括：
步骤S601：终端向基站发送冲突解决辅助信息；
其中，终端驻留在服务小区时，希望在非服务小区载频上发送邻近发现消息，则终端可以向基站发送冲突解决辅助信息，辅助信息在本可选实施例一中为冲突解决模式中第一模式的信息。
终端通过读取非服务小区载频的系统广播消息，服务小区的系统广播消息和/或RRC专用消息，获得感兴趣的非服务小区载频的频率信息以及具体的邻近发现的资源池配置信息，其中，该资源池配置信息包括资源池所在的SFN位置和子帧位置。
与此同时，终端根据相关技术中基站的配置信息获知LTE业务调度的时域信息，根据上述这两部分信息，在终端只有一个无线发送器的情况下，终端判断无法支持同时进行LTE业务和邻近发现的发送业务。
终端在此情况下，根据LTE业务使用的时域信息，包括LTE公共信令，LTE业务调度，LTE业务的可能重传时间等信息，该终端计算出发送邻近业务可以进行的时域信息(也就是本可选实施例中涉及到可以执行邻近业务的调度期)。
发送邻近发现业务的时域信息可以通过冲突解决模式中第一模式的方式表示，也就是使用偏移值，周期值，活动时长表示。例如使用偏移值，可以计算出发送邻近发现业务时域的开始SFN和子帧，周期值可以计算出下一个时域信息，活动时长可以表示出多个连续的帧或子帧的时间，通过该相同的信息，基站也可以计算出和终端一致的时域信息。
终端通过RRC专用消息，将该第一模式的信息上报给基站。此外，该专用消息中还可以包括感兴趣的非服务小区载频的频率信息和/或冲突的业务类型信息，可选实施例中业务类型 为邻近发现的发送。
RRC专用消息，可以复用sidelinkUEinformation，也可以是新增RRC专用消息，例如sidelinkMultiplecarrierUEinformation消息。
步骤S602：基站参考冲突解决辅助信息，配置终端的冲突解决配置；
基站接收到终端发送的RRC专用消息后，根据该专用消息中的冲突解决辅助信息，计算出终端希望执行邻近业务的时域信息。
基站根据冲突解决辅助信息，终端的LTE业务情况等信息，计算终端进行邻近业务的调度期。调度期有可能和终端上报的所希望执行邻近业务的时域信息并不完全一致。例如基站可以在终端上报的基础上多分配一些无线帧或无线子帧，或者少分配一些无线帧或无线子帧。
基站完成计算后，为终端设计新的调度期，本可选实施例中采用的方式是基于非连续接收(DRX)方式。基站在设计DRX周期时，将终端执行邻近业务的调度期考虑在DRX的非活动时间内。因此，终端可以在DRX周期内的非活动时间内进行邻近业务。
基站完成DRX周期的计算后，使用RRC专用消息将DRX周期配置给终端。RRC消息可以复用现有的RRCconnectionReconfiguration消息，也可以是新增RRC消息。
如果基站完成计算后获得的DRX周期和基站曾经配置给终端的DRX周期一致，基站仍将通过RRC专用消息将DRX周期配置给终端。
调度期还包括冲突的业务类型信息，在相同的RRC消息中，除了DRX周期外，还需要配置冲突的业务类型信息，本例中为邻近发现的发送。
步骤S603：终端根据冲突解决配置使用非服务小区载频的资源进行邻近业务；
终端接收到基站发送的RRC专用消息例如RRCconnectionReconfiguration后，解开其中的冲突解决配置信息，该配置信息中包括：冲突的业务类型信息和调度期，本可选实施例中的调度期为DRX周期，本可选实施例中冲突的业务类型为邻近发现的发送；

终端在驻留在服务小区时，希望在本服务小区和/或非服务小区载频上接收邻近发现消息，则终端可以向基站发送冲突解决辅助信息，辅助信息在本可选实施例中为冲突解决模式中第二模式的信息。
终端通过读取非服务小区载频的系统广播消息，服务小区的系统广播消息和/或RRC专用消息，获得感兴趣的非服务小区载频的频率信息以及具体的邻近发现(Prose discovery)的资源池配置信息。资源池配置信息包括资源池所在的SFN位置和子帧位置。
由于在终端只有一个无线接收器的情况下，终端是无法支持同时进行LTE业务和邻近发现的接收业务。因此终端根据相关技术中基站的配置信息获知LTE业务调度的时域信息，根据上述信息，也就是根据LTE业务使用的时域信息，包括LTE公共信令，LTE业务调度，LTE业务的可能重传时间等信息，终端计算接收邻近业务可以进行的时域信息。
接收邻近发现业务时域信息可以通过第二模式的信息表示，也就是使用比特图、偏移值、周期值进行表示。比特图通过比特位设置为0或1，用于表示一个或多个无线帧内连续或不连续的无线子帧是否需要预留给邻近业务。
终端通过RRC专用消息，将该第二模式的信息上报给基站，该信息中还可以包括感兴趣的非服务小区载频的频率信息和/或冲突的业务类型信息，本本可选实施例中的业务类型为邻近发现的接收。
RRC专用消息，可以复用sidelinkUEinformation，也可以是新增RRC专用消息，例如sidelinkMultiplecarrierUEinformation消息。
步骤S702：基站参考冲突解决辅助信息，配置终端的冲突解决配置；
基站接收到终端发送的RRC专用消息后，根据消息中的冲突解决辅助信息，计算出终端希望执行邻近业务的时域信息。
基站根据冲突解决辅助信息，终端的LTE业务情况等信息，计算终端进行邻近业务的调度期，该调度期有可能和终端上报的所希望执行邻近业务的时域信息并不完全一致。例如基站可以在终端上报的基础上多分配一些无线帧或无线子帧，或者少分配一些无线帧或无线子帧。
基站完成计算后，为终端设计新的调度期，本可选实施例中采用的方式是基于配置测量间隔。基站在设计测量间隔时，将终端执行邻近业务的调度期考虑在测量间隔的配置的时域范围内。因此，终端可以在测量间隔配置内进行邻近业务。
基站完成测量配置周期的计算后，使用RRC专用消息将测量间隔配置给终端。RRC消息可以复用现有的RRCconnectionReconfiguration消息，也可以是新增RRC消息。
如果基站完成计算后获得的测量间隔周期和基站曾经配置给终端的测量间隔周期一致，基站仍将通过RRC专用消息将测量间隔配置给终端。
调度期还包括冲突的业务类型信息，在相同的RRC消息中，除了测量间隔周期外，还需要配置冲突的业务类型信息，本例中为邻近发现的接收。
步骤S703：终端根据冲突解决配置使用本载频和/或非服务小区载频的资源进行邻近业务
终端接收到基站发送的RRC专用消息例如RRCconnectionReconfiguration后，解开其中的冲突解决配置信息，信息中包括冲突的业务类型信息和调度期，本例中调度期为测量间隔，本例中冲突的业务类型信息为邻近发现的接收。
终端在所配置的测量间隔内执行邻近发现的接收。

终端通过读取非服务小区载频的系统广播消息，服务小区的系统广播消息和/或RRC专用消息，获得感兴趣的非服务小区载频的频率信息以及具体的邻近发现的资源池配置信息。资源池配置信息包括资源池所在的SFN位置和子帧位置。
在终端只有一个无线接收器的情况下，终端判断无法支持同时进行LTE业务和邻近发现的接收业务。因此，终端根据相关技术中基站的配置信息获知LTE业务调度的时域信息，根据上述信息，终端通过RRC专用消息，将终端获取的所有感兴趣接收邻近业务的载频的资源池信息上报给基站。此外，消息中还可以包括冲突的业务类型信息，本例中业务类型信息为邻近发现的接收。
非服务小区载频资源池信息是指非服务小区载频的邻近业务的资源池信息，包括随路发现和/或随路通信，包括上述两种业务的发送和/或接收资源池。该资源池的信息可以使用相关技术中资源池的定义表示，例如SL-DiscResourcePool参数，或使用周期，偏移等参数表示。
RRC专用消息，可以复用sidelinkUEinformation，也可以是新增RRC专用消息，例如sidelinkMultiplecarrierUEinformation消息。
步骤S802：基站参考冲突解决辅助信息，配置终端的冲突解决配置；
基站接收到终端发送的RRC专用消息后，根据消息中的冲突解决辅助信息，计算出终端希望执行邻近业务的时域信息。
本可选实施例中的冲突解决辅助信息为所有感兴趣接收邻近业务的载频的资源池信息，基站可以根据这些资源池的周期偏移等参数获得非服务小区载频资源池在本服务小区对应的时域信息。
基站根据冲突解决辅助信息，终端的LTE业务情况等信息，计算终端进行邻近业务的调 度期。调度期有可能和终端上报的所希望执行邻近业务的时域信息并不完全一致。例如基站可以在终端上报的基础上多分配一些无线帧或无线子帧，或者少分配一些无线帧或无线子帧。
基站完成计算后，为终端配置新的调度期，本可选实施例中采用的方式是基于配置测量间隔。基站在设计测量间隔时，将终端执行邻近业务的调度期考虑在测量间隔的配置的时域范围内。因此，终端可以在测量间隔配置内进行邻近业务。
基站完成测量配置周期的计算后，使用RRC专用消息将测量间隔配置给终端。RRC消息可以复用现有的RRCconnectionReconfiguration消息，也可以是新增RRC消息。
如果基站完成计算后获得的测量间隔周期和基站曾经配置给终端的测量间隔周期一致，基站仍将通过RRC专用消息将测量间隔配置给终端。
调度期还包括冲突的业务类型信息，在相同的RRC消息中，除了测量间隔周期外，还需要配置冲突的业务类型信息，本可选实施例中为邻近发现的接收。
步骤S803：终端根据冲突解决配置使用本载频和/或非服务小区载频的资源进行邻近业务
终端接收到基站发送的RRC专用消息例如RRCconnectionReconfiguration后，解开其中的冲突解决配置信息，信息中包括冲突的业务类型信息和调度期，本例中调度期为测量间隔，本例中冲突的业务类型信息为邻近发现的接收。
终端在所配置的测量间隔内执行邻近发现的接收。
可选实施例四
本可选实施例中终端向基站发送冲突解决辅助信息为多种形式，包括冲突解决模式的第一模式的信息，以及非服务小区载频资源池信息，同时，基站配置给终端的冲突解决配置也可以支持多个冲突的业务类型，图9是根据本发明可选实施例的解决邻近业务多载波场景冲突的方法流程图四，如图9所示，该方法的步骤包括：
步骤S901：终端向基站发送冲突解决辅助信息；
终端驻留在服务小区时，希望在本小区和/或非服务小区载频上接收邻近通信消息，与此同时，终端希望在非服务小区载频上发送邻近发现，则终端可以向基站发送冲突解决辅助信息，辅助信息在本可选实施例中为非服务小区载频资源池信息以及冲突解决模式的第一模式。
终端通过读取非服务小区载频的系统广播消息，服务小区的系统广播消息和/或RRC专用消息，获得感兴趣的非服务小区载频的频率信息以及具体的邻近通信的接收资源池配置信息和邻近发现的发送资源池，该资源池配置信息包括资源池所在的SFN位置和子帧位置。
与此同时，终端根据相关技术中基站的配置信息获知LTE业务调度的时域信息。根据上述这几部分信息，在终端只有一个无线收发器的情况下，终端判断无法支持同时进行LTE业务和邻近通信的接收业务或无法同时支持进行LTE业务和邻近发现的发送业务。
发送邻近发现业务时域信息可以通过冲突解决模式中的第一模式表示，也就是使用偏移 值，周期值，活动时长表示，其中，例如使用偏移值，可以计算出发送邻近发现业务时域的开始SFN和子帧，周期值可以计算出下一个时域信息，活动时长可以表示出多个连续的帧或子帧的时间。通过相同的信息，基站也可以技术出和终端一致的时域的信息。
接收邻近通信业务的时域信息可以通过提供给基站非服务小区载频的资源池信息，由基站计算出来。
终端通过RRC专用消息，将终端获取的所有感兴趣接收邻近通信业务的载频的资源池信息上报给基站。同时，该消息中还包括终端希望进行发送邻近发现业务的时域信息，也就是冲突解决模式一信息。消息中还可以包括冲突的业务类型信息，本可选实施例中，载频的资源池信息绑定邻近通信的接收业务类型，冲突解决模式一信息的业务类型为信息为邻近发现的发送。

步骤S902：基站参考冲突解决辅助信息，配置终端的冲突解决配置；
基站接收到终端发送的RRC专用消息后，根据消息中的冲突解决辅助信息，计算出终端希望执行邻近业务的时域信息。
本可选实施例中的冲突解决辅助信息为邻近通信的接收所有感兴趣的载频的资源池信息以及邻近发现的发送的冲突解决模式中第一模式的信息，基站可以根据这些资源池的周期偏移，以及第一模式中的偏移和活动时长等参数获得非服务小区载频资源池在本小区对应的时域信息。
基站根据冲突解决辅助信息，终端的LTE业务情况等信息，计算终端进行邻近业务的调度期。调度期有可能和终端上报的所希望执行邻近业务的时域信息并不完全一致。例如基站可以在终端上报的基础上多分配一些无线帧或无线子帧，或者少分配一些无线帧或无线子帧。
基站完成计算后，为终端设计新的调度期，本可选实施例中采用的方式是基于非连续接收(DRX)配置。基站在DRX周期时，将终端执行邻近通信业务的接收以及邻近发现业务的发送两个业务的调度期都考虑在DRX的非活动时间的范围内。因此，终端可以在DRX周期非活动时间内进行邻近通信的接收以及邻近发现的发送。
基站完成DRX周期的计算后，使用RRC专用消息将DRX周期配置给终端。RRC消息可以复用现有的RRCconnectionReconfiguration消息，也可以是新增RRC消息。
如果基站完成计算后获得的非连续接收(DRX)周期和基站曾经配置给终端的非连续接收(DRX)周期一致，基站仍将通过RRC专用消息将测量间隔配置给终端。
调度期还包括冲突的业务类型信息，在相同的RRC消息中，除了DRX周期外，还需要配置冲突的业务类型信息，本例中为邻近发现的发送和邻近通信的接收。
步骤S903：终端根据冲突解决配置使用本载频和/或非服务小区载频的资源进行邻近业务；

终端在所配置的DRX周期的非活动时间内执行邻近发现的发送和邻近通信的接收。当两种业务产生冲突时，终端可以通过错开业务的实施时间以避免干扰。实施时间仍然在基站配置的DRX周期的非活动时间内。
综上，通过本发明可选实施例，终端可以在不改变服务小区的情况下使用载频上的发现资源池执行邻近业务，提升了用户的体验。
