Description

上行数据传输的方法和装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及上行数据传输的方法和装置。
背景技术
为了支持更高的数据速率,以及支持用户设备UE能够同时聚合不同基站(例如宏基站和小型基站)的组成载波,第三代合作伙伴计划(the 3rd Generation Partner Project,简称“3GPP”)引入了双连接(Dual Connectivity,简称“DC”)技术。
DC技术的主要思想是将经过非理想回程链路(backhaul)相连的不同基站的载波进行聚合,以提高数据传输速率。
在双连接中,一个UE将同时连接到两个演进型基站(evolved Node B,简称“eNB”),一个是主基站(Master eNB,简称“MeNB”),另一个为次基站(Secondary eNB,简称“SeNB”),MeNB和SeNB之间经过非理想的backhaul连接。
目前,3GPP确定的在双连接模式下MeNB和SeNB的协议栈,如图1所示:对于数据无线承载(Dada Radio Bearer,简称“DRB”)1来说,该DRB 1仅仅通过MeNB向用户设备UE发送。对于DRB 2,则一部分通过MeNB向UE发送,另一部分通过X2接口首先发送给SeNB,然后再由SeNB向UE发送。具体地,MeNB将该DRB2的一部分数据包,以分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,简称“PDCP”)协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,简称“PDU”)的数据包形式首先发送给SeNB,然后经过SeNB发送给UE。进一步,在LTE Release 13,为了提高上行数据传输速率,对于DRB 2的上行传输,UE可以将部分PDCP数据包向MeNB发送,同时将部分PDCP数据包向SeNB发送。由于上述DRB 2的数据被分裂成两部分分别通过不同的eNB进行传输,所以这个DRB 2称为分裂承载(split bearer)。
MAC实体只要得到了UL grant信息,就向PDCP层递交指示信息,以便于PDCP层发送数据。PDCP实体在接收到上行授予(UL grant)的时候,基于PDCP的数据量和门限值决定PDCP数据如何进行传输。
由于分裂承载的逻辑信道优先级高于其它承载的逻辑信道优先级,在UE接收到UL grant信息时,就向PDCP层指示数据传输,则分裂承载会被优先传输,但是,实际上该UL grant可能是MeNB基于UE上报的其它承载所调度的UL grant。因此,这种情况下其它承载进行数据传输的UL grant就会被分裂承载抢占,而使得其它承载的业务质量得不到保证。
另外,该分裂承载可能之前已经向SeNB上报缓存状态报告,当UE从SeNB得到UL grant信息时,该分裂承载的PDCP数据已经从MeNB传输,从而使得SeNB分配的UL grant由于分裂承载的数据包不够多而导致资源浪费。

具体实施方式
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,所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是全部实施例。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的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都应属于本发明保护的范围。
在双连接DC技术中,一个UE会配置两个小区组(Cell group,简称“CG”),或者也叫组成载波组(CC group):一个是主小区组(Master Cell  group,简称“MCG”),另一个是辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group,简称“SCG”)。
MCG是指与MeNB相关联的一个小区组,由主小区(Primary Cell,PCell)以及零个或多个辅小区(Secondary Cell,SCell)构成。
SCG是指与SeNB相关联的一个小区组,由主的辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell,PSCell)以及零个或多个辅小区(Secondary Cell,SCell)构成。
其中,PCell是指UE建立无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称“RRC”)连接的小区,该主小区提供安全相关的参数以及配置有物理上行链路控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,简称PUCCH)资源。PSCell是指在辅小区组内配置有PUCCH资源的辅小区。除PCell和PSCell外,在MCG和SCG内的SCell都不配置PUCCH资源。PUCCH信道主要用于传输混合自动重传请求确认信息(HARQ-ACK)、信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)和调度请求(Scheduling Request,SR)等信息。
对于一个用户设备UE而言,可能同时存在多个业务,或者多个DRB需要进行传输,则在在媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,简称“MAC”)层UE需要根据基站分配的上行资源(有时候也称为上行授予UL grants),将多个DRB的数据进行复用后传输。在LTE中,每个DRB都对应一个逻辑信道并配置一个逻辑信道优先级。在LTE中,将多个DRB的数据进行复用传输的过程称为逻辑信道优先级(Logical Channel Prioritization,简称“LCP”)过程。
具体地,在现有的LCP过程执行当中,RRC层通过控制以下几个参数来对MAC调度进行控制,这些参数是逻辑信道优先级、优先级比特率(Prioritized Bit Rate,简称PBR)以及持续时间参量(Bucket Size Duration,简称BSD)。对每个逻辑信道,UE应该维护一个状态变量Bj。在相关的逻辑信道建立时,Bj应该被初始化为0,然后每个传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval,简称TTI)增加PBR,即基于PBR*TTI进行累积,也就是每个TTI加一个PBR。
PBR是对应逻辑信道j的PBR。但是,Bj的值从来不能超出令牌桶的大小,一个令牌桶的大小为PBR*BSD。并且如果Bj的值大于逻辑信道j的令牌桶时,则应该置Bj的值为PBR*BSD。其中,PBR可以被设置为无限大, 当某个逻辑信道被设置无限大的PBR时,则可以在资源紧张的情况下保证这个业务,而其他业务不会被服务。
令牌桶算法通过限制令牌桶容量,令牌添加速度实现速率限制,达到资源分配复用效果,同时对约定数据传输速率,控制突发会有广泛的应用。
当一个新的传输被执行时,UE执行如下的逻辑信道优先级处理过程,即UE应该按照如下步骤为逻辑信道分配资源:
1、按照逻辑信道降序的方式为所有令牌数不为空的逻辑信道分配资源。分配资源的大小基于令牌桶中令牌数的大小决定;
2、桶中令牌数减去上述步骤1中已经分配资源的MAC SDUs的大小,更新Bj,其中,Bj的值可能会是负的;
3、如果各个逻辑信道的数据获得服务后还有剩余的资源,则严格按照逻辑信道优先级的顺序依次获得服务(不考虑Bj的值),直到所有的UL grant被用尽,或者直到那个逻辑信道的数据被复用完毕。具有相同逻辑信道优先级的逻辑信道平等接受服务。
图2是一个MAC复用的示意图,如图2所示,首先,DRB 1的传输达到其Bj后,则需要继续复用下一个DRB 2的数据。然后,类似地DRB 2的数据也达到其Bj后,则继续进行复用DRB 3的数据,在复用DRB 3的数据以后,如果有效的上行传输资源还有一定的剩余,此时可以进行第二轮复用。在第二轮复用中,则完全按照DRB的优先级的顺序从高到低进行复用,而不再受Bj的限制。如图2所示,在复用逻辑信道1的数据后,有效资源都被使用完毕。
进一步地,针对分裂承载,该分裂承载有时候可以仅仅通过一个eNB进行上行数据传输,而有时候,当该DRB的数据量比较大的时候,可以同时通过两个eNB进行上行数据的传输。当该分裂承载仅仅通过一个eNB进行数据传输时,则上述图2所述的LCP过程可以完全重用,该DRB需要保证的传输速率PBR也由一个eNB进行保证。
而该分裂承载同时通过两个eNB进行上行传输时(假设分裂承载为DRB2),则该分裂承载需要分别在两个eNB配置独立的逻辑信道,一个逻辑信道针对MeNB,一个逻辑信道针对SeNB。该分裂承载的优先的保证速率PBR则通过两个eNB联合进行保证。因此,针对该分裂承载的两个逻辑信道,网络分别为该承载配置部分PBR,例如一个为PBR1是MeNB侧应该 保证的速率,PBR2是SeNB侧应该保证的速率,然后PBR1+PBR2=PBR,或者,网络也可以配置PBR1和PBR2,使得PBR1和PBR2的和大于原始的PBR,这样可以提供该业务的QoS。
进一步地,为了协助网络为UE调度上行资源,UE需要向MeNB后者SeNB发送缓存状态上报了缓存状态报告(Buffer Status Report,简称“BSR”),以使得eNB根据UE上报BSR中的缓存状态信息确定调度多少上行传输资源。RRC可以通过配置两个定时器,即periodic BSR-Timer和retx BSR-Timer来控制BSR的上报。另外,可选地,对每个逻辑信道,eNB可以将其分配到一个逻辑信道组,即LCG(logicalChannelGroup)。这里,引入LCG的目的,主要是为了降低信令开销。因为,如果为每一个逻辑信道上报一个BSR,会带来大量的信令开销。
对于分裂承载的BSR上报,目前的原则是如果分裂承载的PDCP数据量高于一定的门限值时,UE才触发向两个eNB,即MeNB和SeNB,分别上报BSR。否则如果PDCP数据量小于门限值,则UE仅仅向一个eNB上报BSR。
在本发明实施例中,假设有两个MCG承载,分别为MCG bearer 1和MCG bearer 2,还有一个分裂承载,其中,假设MCG bearer 1的逻辑信道优先级最高,分裂承载的逻辑信道优先级高于MCG Bearer 2的逻辑信道优先级。根据现有技术,UE在获得上行资源(UL grant)信息就会向PDCP层指示,这样MCG bearer 2的数据传输可能就会被分裂承载的传输影响。
例如,在某些时候,UE基于MCG bearer 1和MCG bearer 2的缓存状态上报了BSR给MeNB。而上报该BSR的时候,由于分裂承载的数据量小于门限,根据预先配置,该分裂承载不必分配给该MeNB,所以也没有向MeNB上报分裂承载的BSR。
但是,当UE指示从MeNB得到UL grant信息给PDCP时,因为分裂承载的逻辑信道优先级高于MCG bearer 2的优先级,因此会优先传输该分裂承载的数据,而MCG bearer2的数据将得不到传输。而实际上UL grant是MeNB基于UE上报的MCG bearer1和MCG bearer2的BSR调度的UL grant。因此,这种情况下MCG bearer 2进行数据传输的UL grant就会被分裂承载抢占。从而使得MCG bearer2的业务QoS得不到保证。而同时分裂承载可能之前上报BSR是向SeNB上报,当SCG MAC从SeNB得到UL grant后,则分裂 承载的PDCP数据已经从MeNB传输,从而使得SeNB分配的UL grant由于分裂承载的数据包不够多而导致资源浪费。因此,本发明实施例提出了一种双连接系统中上行数据传输的方法和装置。
具体地,在本发明实施例中,图3示出了根据本发明实施例的上行数据传输的方法100的示意性流程图,该方法100可以由用户设备UE中的MAC实体执行,该方法可以用于双连接系统中,该双连接系统包括两个基站,第一基站和第二基站,用户设备的第一MAC实体与第一基站相对应,用户设备的第二MAC实体与第二基站相对应。如图3所示,该方法100包括:
S110,该用户设备获取该第一基站发送的资源分配信息;
S120,当用户设备确定分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且该用户设备已经向该第一基站发送包括该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的第一缓存状态报告BSR时,或当该用户设备确定该分裂承载的数据量大于该预设值时,
该用户设备的第一MAC实体根据该资源分配信息,为该分裂承载分配传输资源,和/或,该第一MAC实体向该用户设备的分组数据汇聚协议PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,
该数据传输指示信息指示该PDCP层向该第一MAC实体发送该分裂承载的数据,或数据传输指示信息指示分配给该分裂承载的传输资源,或或该数据传输指示信息指示该第一MAC实体为该分裂承载分配的传输机会。
具体地,用户设备的第一MAC实体获取该第一基站发送的资源分配信息,当用户设备确定分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值时且该第一MAC实体已经向第一基站发送了包括分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的第一BSR时,或当该分裂承载大于该预设时,该第一MAC实体才根据第一基站发送的资源分配信息,为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或该第一MAC实体向用户设备的PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,该数据传输指示信息用于指示PDCP层向该第一MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据,或者该数据传输指示信息指示分配给该分裂承载的传输资源。
因此,本发明实施例的上行数据传输的方法,MAC实体收到相应的基站发送的资源分配信息后,在分裂承载的数据量大于预设值,或分裂承载的数据量小于预设值且已经向该基站发送了包括分裂承载缓存状态信息的缓存状态报告时,才为该分裂承载分配资源,并且由MAC实体向PDCP层发 送数据传输指示信息,以便于PDCP层传输分裂承载的数据,从而能够避免分裂承载抢占资源导致资源浪费及影响其他业务传输质量,保证了不同业务的公平性,由此能够提高资源使用效率。
应理解,在双连接系统中,一个用户设备(UE)会配置两个小区组:主小区组(MCG)和辅小区组(SCG)。MCG是指与主基站MeNB相关联的一个小区组,SCG是指与次基站SeNB相关联的一个小区组。本发明实施例中的第一基站可以为主基站,则第二基站为次基站;或者第一基站为次基站,则第二基站为主基站。当第一基站为主基站、第二基站为次基站时,则第一MAC实体为UE中与主基站或主小区组相对应的MCG MAC实体,第二MAC实体为UE中与次基站或辅小区组相对应的SCG MAC实体;当第一基站为次基站、第二基站为主基站时,则第二MAC实体为UE中与主基站或主小区组相对应的MCG MAC实体,第一MAC实体为UE中与次基站或辅小区组相对应的SCG MAC实体。因此,本发明实施例中的第一基站为主基站或次基站都可以,本发明并不限于此。
在S110中,该第一MAC实体获取该第一基站发送的资源分配信息,可选地,可以通过PDCCH获取该资源分配信息,该资源分配信息包括为用户设备分配的资源。具体地,主基站对应的MCG MAC实体接收到主基站发送的资源分配信息,或者次基站对应的SCG MAC实体接收到次基站发送的资源分配信息,或者MCG MAC实体和SCG MAC实体均接收到对应的基站发送的资源分配信息,本发明并不限于此。
在S120中,当用户设备确定该分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且该第一MAC实体已经向该第一基站发送包括该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的第一缓存状态报告BSR时,或当该分裂承载的数据量大于该预设值时,该第一MAC实体根据该资源分配信息,为该分裂承载分配传输资源,和/或向该用户设备的分组数据汇聚协议PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,该数据传输指示信息指示该PDCP层向该第一MAC实体发送该分裂承载的数据,或指示分配给该分裂承载的传输资源。
在本发明实施例中,根据现有技术,BSR可以通过MAC实体上报,BSR可以包括短BSR(Short BSR)和长BSR(Long BSR)两种格式,可以通过多种条件触发UE发送BSR,本发明并不限于此。例如,对于触发UE发送包括分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的BSR,可以在当BSR为空且有新的分 裂承载的数据需要发送时,触发UE发送BSR。具体地,当所有的逻辑信道组(Logical Channel Group,简称“LCG”)的所有逻辑信道上都没有分裂承载的上行数据时,如果此时任意一个LCG的任意一个逻辑信息存在分裂承载的上行数据时,则可以触发UE发送BSR。对于这种UE第一次发送的BSR。该BSR可以称为“Regular BSR”。
在本发明实施例中,该预设值可以根据实际情况进行设定。该预设值可以由主基站确定后,将该预设值向用户设备发送,该用户设备保存该预设值;可选地,该预设值还可以在用户设备中预先配置,本发明并不限于此。
可选地,作为一个实施例,对于分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值时,若第一MAC实体已经向发送资源分配信息的第一基站发送了BSR,该BSR中包括分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息,该数据缓存状态信息可以包括分裂承载的数据量,或者称为BS值,则第一MAC实体可以根据该资源分配信息,为该分裂承载分配资源,然后向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,该数据传输指示信息指示PDCP层向该第一MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据;或者第一MAC实体根据资源分配信息,向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,该数据传输指示信息指示分配给分裂承载的资源。PDCP层接收到数据传输指示信息后,根据该数据传输指示信息向第一MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据,以便于第一MAC实体将该分裂承载的数据发送给第一基站。
可选地,作为一个实施例,对于分裂承载的数据量大于预设值时,该第一MAC实体可以根据第一基站发送的资源分配信息,为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或第一MAC实体向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,该数据传输指示信息指示PDCP层向该第一MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据,或者该数据传输指示信息指示分配给分裂承载的资源。
可选地,作为一个实施例,对于分裂承载的数据量大于预设值时,由于第一MAC实体会向第一基站发送包括分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的BSR,第二MAC实体也会向第一基站发送包括分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的BSR,因此,第一MAC实体接收第一基站发送的资源分配信息,可以在第一MAC实体已经向第一基站发送了该BSR后,根据该资源分配信息,第一MAC实体为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或第一MAC实体向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,该数据传输指示信息指示PDCP层向该第一MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据,或者该数据传输指示信息指示分配给分裂承载的资 源。
可选地,作为一个实施例,对于分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值时,若第一MAC实体还没有向发送资源分配信息的第一基站发送包括分裂承载的数据缓存信息的BSR,则第一MAC实体,不为该分裂承载分配资源,也不向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。
在本发明实施例中,当第一MAC实体确定要向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息时,可以在UE执行LCP过程中,对于相应步骤中确定的需要传输的分裂承载的数据量,发送包括该数据量信息的该数据传输指示信息;或者可以在执行LCP结束后,确定总的可以传输的分裂承载的数据量,发送包括该总数据量信息的数据传输指示信息,本发明并不限于此。
在本发明实施例中,第一MAC实体确定不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或不向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,也可以认为该分裂承载向第一基站的传输处于挂起状态。直到该第一MAC实体接收到用于传输该分裂承载的传输资源,例如,该第一MAC实体在上报了包括分裂承载的缓冲状态信息的BSR后,接收到第一基站发送的资源分配信息,则该第一MAC实体确定可以恢复该分裂承载的传输,且可以为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或可以向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息时。
在本发明实施例中,第一MAC实体确定不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或不向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,第一MAC实体也可以将该分裂承载的逻辑信道的状态变量Bj设置为零,和/或停止累加。直到该第一MAC实体接收到用于传输该分裂承载的传输资源,例如,该第一MAC实体在上报了包括分裂承载的缓冲状态信息的BSR后,接收到第一基站发送的资源分配信息,则该第一MAC实体确定可以恢复该分裂承载的传输,且可以为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或可以向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息时。
在本发明实施例中,MAC实体向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,可选地,该MAC实体可以通过无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,简称“RLC”)层向PDCP层发送该数据传输指示信息,该RLC层将该数据传输指示信息发送至PDCP层。
在本发明实施例中,PDCP层根据MAC实体发送的数据传输指示信息发送分裂承载的数据时,可选地,也可以通过RLC层向MAC实体发送该分裂承载的数据。具体地,PDCP层将数据发送至RLC层,RLC层将该数据 转发至MAC实体。
因此,本发明实施例的上行数据传输的方法,MAC实体收到相应的基站发送的资源分配信息后,在分裂承载的数据量大于预设值,或分裂承载的数据量小于预设值且已经向该基站发送了包括分裂承载缓存状态信息的缓存状态报告时,才为该分裂承载分配资源,并且由MAC实体向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,以便于PDCP层传输分裂承载的数据,从而能够避免分裂承载抢占资源导致资源浪费及影响其他业务传输质量,保证了不同业务的公平性,由此能够提高资源使用效率。
下面将以具体实施例为例,对本发明实施例的双连接系统中的上行数据传输的方法进行说明。
图4示出了根据本发明实施例的双连接系统中的上行数据传输的方法的示意性流程图。该实施例针对双连接系统的场景,用户设备UE与两个基站相连,主基站MeNB与UE中的MCG MAC实体相对应,次基站SeNB与UE中的SCG MAC实体相对应,如图4所示:
在本发明实施例中,针对分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值的情况,该分裂承载只需向一个基站传输,如果确定将该分裂承载向MeNB传输,则可以进行S201至S206;如果确定将该分裂承载向SeNB传输,则可以进行S207至S212。可选地,该预设值可以为MeNB预先发送给用户设备的。
在S201中,当网络配置的分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值时,确定向MeNB上报的情况下,UE会通过MCG MAC实体向MeNB发送BSR,该BSR中可以包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息,该缓存状态信息可以为该分裂承载的数据量,可以简称BS值。
在S202中,UE可以检测MeNB发送的PDCCH信道,由MCG MAC实体接收MeNB发送的资源分配信息(UL grant信息)。该资源分配信息中包括了MeNB分配给该UE由于传输数据的资源。
在S203中,UE中的MAC实体判断是否已经向MeNB发送了包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息值的BSR,从而决定是否在随后的LCP过程中为该分裂承载分配传输资源,以及确定是否向PDCP层上报数据传输指示信息。
具体地,由于在S201中UE已经向MeNB发送了包括BS值的BSR,UE的MCG MAC实体获取到MeNB发送的UL grant信息后,则可以进行S205。相反地,若在S201中没有发送包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息的BSR 时,则执行S204。
在S204中,由于MCG MAC实体接收到MeNB发送的资源分裂信息,但是之前没有发送包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息的BSR,则MCG MAC实体在随后的LCP过程中不会为分裂承载分配传输与,并且MCG MAC实体也不向PDCP实体上报数据传输指示信息。
在S205中,由于UE已经向MeNB发送了包括BS值的BSR,则MCG MAC实体在随后的LCP过程中为分裂承载分配传输资源,然后确定可以为分裂承载分配的传输资源后,该MCG MAC实体向PDCP层上报数据传输指示信息,可选地,该传输指示信息用于指示该PDCP层向MCG MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据或指示该分裂承载的传输资源。进一步地,该数据传输指示信息可以具体指示PDCP层应该向低层递交多少数据。
具体地,MCG MAC实体可以是在执行LCP过程的每一个步骤中,根据相应步骤中确定的可以上传的分裂承载的数据量向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。或者,也可以是在该LCP过程的全部步骤都执行完毕后,根据总的可以上传的分裂承载的数据量向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。
可选地,MCG MAC实体可以通过RLC层向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,同样地,PDCP层也可以通过RLC层向MCG MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据。
在S206中,在MCG MAC实体向PDCP层发送了数据传输指示信息后,将接收到的分裂承载的数据在MAC层进行复用后传输给MeNB。
同样地,对于将该分裂承载向SeNB传输:
在S207中,当网络配置的分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值时,确定向SeNB上报的情况下,UE会通过SCG MAC实体向SeNB发送BSR,该BSR中可以包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息,该缓存状态信息可以为该分裂承载的数据量,可以简称BS值。
在S208中,UE可以检测SeNB发送的PDCCH信道,由SCG MAC实体接收SeNB发送的资源分配信息(UL grant信息)。该资源分配信息中包括了SeNB分配给该UE由于传输数据的资源。
在S209中,UE中的MAC实体判断是否已经向SeNB发送了包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息值的BSR,从而决定是否在随后的LCP过程中为该分裂承载分配传输资源,以及确定是否向PDCP层上报数据传输指示信息。
具体地,由于在S207中UE已经向SeNB发送了包括BS值的BSR,UE的SCG MAC实体获取到SeNB发送的UL grant信息后,则可以进行S211。相反地,若在S207中没有发送包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息的BSR时,则执行S210。
在S210中,由于SCG MAC实体接收到SeNB发送的资源分裂信息,但是之前没有发送包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息的BSR,则SCG MAC实体在随后的LCP过程中不会为分裂承载分配传输与,并且SCG MAC实体也不向PDCP实体上报数据传输指示信息。
在S211中,由于UE已经向SeNB发送了包括BS值的BSR,则SCG MAC实体在随后的LCP过程中为分裂承载分配传输资源,然后确定可以为分裂承载分配的传输资源后,该SCG MAC实体向PDCP层上报数据传输指示信息,可选地,该传输指示信息用于指示该PDCP层向SCG MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据或指示该分裂承载的传输资源。进一步地,该数据传输指示信息可以具体指示PDCP层应该向低层递交多少数据。
具体地,SCG MAC实体可以是在执行LCP过程的每一个步骤中,根据相应步骤中确定的可以上传的分裂承载的数据量向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。或者,也可以是在该LCP过程的全部步骤都执行完毕后,根据总的可以上传的分裂承载的数据量向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。
可选地,SCG MAC实体可以通过RLC层向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,同样地,PDCP层也可以通过RLC层向SCG MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据。
在S212中,在SCG MAC实体向PDCP层发送了数据传输指示信息后,将接收到的分裂承载的数据在MAC层进行复用后传输给SeNB。
应理解,在本发明的各种实施例中,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本发明实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
因此,本发明实施例的上行数据传输的方法,MAC实体收到相应的基站发送的资源分配信息后,在分裂承载的数据量大于预设值,或分裂承载的数据量小于预设值且已经向该基站发送了包括分裂承载缓存状态信息的缓存状态报告时,才为该分裂承载分配资源,并且由MAC实体向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,以便于PDCP层传输分裂承载的数据,从而能够避免 分裂承载抢占资源导致资源浪费及影响其他业务传输质量,保证了不同业务的公平性,由此能够提高资源使用效率。
图5示出了根据本发明再一实施例的双连接系统中的上行数据传输的方法的示意性流程图。该实施例针对双连接系统的场景,用户设备UE与两个基站相连,主基站MeNB与UE中的MCG MAC实体相对应,次基站SeNB与UE中的SCG MAC实体相对应,如图5所示:
在本发明实施例中,针对分裂承载的数据量大于预设值的情况,该分裂承载需要向两个基站传输:
在S301中,确定网络配置的分裂承载的数据量大于预设值时,UE需要向MeNB和SeNB传输该分裂承载。
在S302中,UE会通过MCG MAC实体向MeNB发送BSR,该BSR中均可以包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息,该缓存状态信息可以为该分裂承载的数据量,可以简称BS值。
在S303中,UE会通过SCG MAC实体向SeNB发送BSR,该BSR中均可以包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息,该缓存状态信息可以为该分裂承载的数据量,可以简称BS值。
在S304中,UE可以检测MeNB发送的PDCCH信道,由MCG MAC实体接收MeNB发送的资源分配信息(UL grant信息)。该资源分配信息中包括了MeNB分配给该UE由于传输数据的资源。
在S305中,UE可以检测SeNB发送的PDCCH信道,由SCG MAC实体接收SeNB发送的资源分配信息(UL grant信息)。该资源分配信息中包括了MeNB分配给该UE由于传输数据的资源。
在S306中,由于分裂承载的数据量大于预设值,UE确定MAC实体已经向MeNB和SeNB分别发送了包括该分裂承载的缓存状态信息值的BSR,MCG MAC实体和SCG MAC实体分别执行各自的LCP过程,并根据LCP的执行情况确定能够分配给分裂承载的传输资源,然后MCG MAC实体和SCG MAC实体根据能够分配给分裂承载的资源,向PDCP层发送数据传输的指示信息,该数据传输指示信息用于指示该PDCP层向MCG MAC实体和SCG MAC实体发送分裂承载的数据或指示该分裂承载的传输资源。进一步地,该数据传输指示信息可以具体指示PDCP层应该向低层递交多少数据。
具体地,MCG MAC实体和SCG MAC实体分别执行LCP过程,可以 在分别执行LCP过程的每个步骤时,根据在该步骤中可以分配给分裂承载的传输资源确定可以发送的分裂承载的数据量,然后向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。或者,也可以是在MCG MAC实体和SCG MAC实体在相应的LCP过程的全部步骤都执行完毕后,根据总的可以分配给分裂承载的资源确定可以发送的分裂承载的数据量,然后向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。
在S307中,UE根据UL grant信息向MeNB发送分裂承载的数据。
在S308中,UE根据UL grant信息向SeNB发送分裂承载的数据。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,由于分裂承载的数据量大于预设值,则UE可以在确定分裂承载的数据量大于预设值后直接执行S304和S308,而不需要再次判断是否向MeNB以及SeNB发送了包括分裂承载的缓冲状态信息的BSR。
应理解,在本发明的各种实施例中,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本发明实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
因此,本发明实施例的上行数据传输的方法,MAC实体收到相应的基站发送的资源分配信息后,在分裂承载的数据量大于预设值,或分裂承载的数据量小于预设值且已经向该基站发送了包括分裂承载缓存状态信息的缓存状态报告时,才为该分裂承载分配资源,并且由MAC实体向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,以便于PDCP层传输分裂承载的数据,从而能够避免分裂承载抢占资源导致资源浪费及影响其他业务传输质量,保证了不同业务的公平性,由此能够提高资源使用效率。
图6示出了根据本发明再一实施例的上行数据传输的方法400的示意性流程图,该方法400可以由用户设备UE执行,该方法可以用于双连接系统中,该双连接系统包括两个基站,第一基站和第二基站,用户设备的第一MAC实体与第一基站相对应,用户设备的第二MAC实体与第二基站相对应。如图6所示,该方法400包括:
S410,该用户设备获取该第一基站发送的资源分配信息;
S420,当该用户设备确定分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且该用户设备的第一MAC实体不是配置的当分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值时传输该分裂承载的数据的MAC实体时,或者,该用户设备确定该第一MAC实体没有向该第一基站发送包括该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的缓存状 态报告BSR时,该第一MAC实体不为该分裂承载分配传输资源,和/或不向该用户设备的分组数据汇聚协议PDCP层发送该分裂承载的数据传输指示信息。
因此,本发明实施例的上行数据传输的方法,用户设备的MAC实体收到相应的基站发送的资源分配信息后,若该MAC实体没有向该基站发送了包括分裂承载缓存状态信息的缓存状态报告时,或分裂承载的数据量小于预设值且该MAC实体不是预先配置的执行分裂承载传输的MAC实体时,不为该分裂承载分配资源,也不向PDCP层发送分裂承载的数据传输指示信息,从而能够避免分裂承载抢占资源导致资源浪费及影响其他业务传输质量,保证了不同业务的公平性,由此能够提高资源使用效率。
应理解,在双连接系统中,一个用户设备(UE)会配置两个小区组:主小区组(MCG)和辅小区组(SCG)。MCG是指与主基站MeNB相关联的一个小区组,SCG是指与次基站SeNB相关联的一个小区组。本发明实施例中的第一基站可以为主基站,则第二基站为次基站;或者第一基站为次基站,则第二基站为主基站。当第一基站为主基站、第二基站为次基站时,则第一MAC实体为UE中与主基站或主小区组相对应的MCG MAC实体,第二MAC实体为UE中与次基站或辅小区组相对应的SCG MAC实体;当第一基站为次基站、第二基站为主基站时,则第二MAC实体为UE中与主基站或主小区组相对应的MCG MAC实体,第一MAC实体为UE中与次基站或辅小区组相对应的SCG MAC实体。因此,本发明实施例中的第一基站为主基站或次基站都可以,本发明并不限于此。
在S410中,该第一MAC实体获取该第一基站发送的资源分配信息,可选地,可以通过PDCCH获取该资源分配信息,该资源分配信息包括为用户设备分配的资源。具体地,主基站对应的MCG MAC实体接收到主基站发送的资源分配信息,或者次基站对应的SCG MAC实体接收到次基站发送的资源分配信息,或者MCG MAC实体和SCG MAC实体均接收到对应的基站发送的资源分配信息,本发明并不限于此。
在S420中,当确定该第一MAC实体没有向该第一基站发送包括该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的第一缓存状态报告BSR时,或者当该分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且该第一MAC实体不是传输该分裂承载的数据的MAC实体时,该第一MAC实体不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或,不 向该用户设备的分组数据汇聚协议PDCP层发送该分裂承载的数据传输指示信息。可选地,当该用户设备确定分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且该用户设备没有向该第一基站发送包括该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的缓存状态报告BSR时,该第一MAC实体同样不为该分裂承载分配传输资源,和/或不向该用户设备的分组数据汇聚协议PDCP层发送该分裂承载的数据传输指示信息。
在本发明实施例中,该预设值可以根据实际情况进行设定。该预设值可以由主基站确定后,将该预设值向用户设备发送,该用户设备保存该预设值;可选地,该预设值还可以在用户设备中预先配置,本发明并不限于此。
在本发明实施例中,当第一MAC实体确定不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或,不向该用户设备的分组数据汇聚协议PDCP层发送该分裂承载的数据传输指示信息后,该第一MAC实体可以将接收到的资源分配给第二承载,该第二承载为除了该分裂承载之外的其它承载。
可选地,该第二承载可以为非分裂承载,则第一MAC实体可以根据接收到的资源分配信息,将资源分配给该第二承载。
可选地,该第二承载也可以为其它分裂承载,该其它分裂承载是指除了已经判断过的不能分配该资源的分裂承载之外的其它分裂承载。则第一MAC实体需要再次判断是否可以为该第二承载分配资源。当该第二承载小于或等于预设值且第一MAC实体已经向第一基站发送过包括该第二承载的数据缓存状态报告的BSR时,或者当该第二承载大于预设值时,则第一MAC实体可以为该第二承载分配资源,否则仍然不能为该第二承载分配资源。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,该预设值可以根据实际情况进行设定。该预设值可以由主基站确定后,将该预设值向用户设备发送,该用户设备保存该预设值;可选地,该预设值还可以在用户设备中预先配置,本发明并不限于此。
在本发明实施例中,若第一MAC实体确定不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或不向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,则可以确定该分裂承载向第一基站的传输处于挂起状态。直到该第一MAC实体可以为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或可以向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息时,确定恢复该分裂承载的传输。可选地,在该用户设备内部可以通过下列方式之一来实现分裂承载的挂起状态。

可选地,作为一个实施例,用户设备的PDCP实体首先确定该分裂承载向第一基站的传输处于挂起状态,然后向该用户设备的RRC实体发送该分裂承载处于挂起状态,然后该RRC实体向该第一MAC实体发送该分裂承载处于挂起状态的指示,以使得该第一MAC实体确定该分裂承载向第一基站的传输处于挂起状态。
在本发明实施例中,当分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且第一MAC实体已经向第一基站发送包括该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的BSR时,或当该分裂承载的数据量大于该预设值时,该第一MAC实体可以确定恢复该分裂承载的传输,并为该分裂承载分配资源。可选地,可以先恢复该分裂承载的传输,再为该分裂承载分配资源;也可以为该分裂承载分配资源,再恢复该分裂承载的传输,本发明并不限于此。
在本发明实施例中,若第一MAC实体确定不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或不向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,则第一MAC实体可以将该分裂承载的逻辑信道的状态变量Bj设置为零,并且停止累加。直到该第一MAC实体可以为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或可以向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息时,重新启动该状态变量Bj的累加。
可选地,若第一MAC实体确定不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或不向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息,此时该分裂承载的逻辑信道的状态变量Bj可能大于零,也可能小于零,即不论该分裂承载的逻辑信道的状态变量Bj大于零还是小于零,均可以在该第一MAC实体没有向该第一基站发送包括 该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的第一缓存状态报告BSR时,或者在该分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且该第一MAC实体不是传输该分裂承载的数据的MAC实体时,确定不为该分裂承载分配资源,和/或不向PDCP层发送数据传输指示信息。
具体地,当分裂承载的数据量小于或等于预设值且第一MAC实体已经向第一基站发送包括该分裂承载的数据缓存状态信息的BSR时,或当该分裂承载的数据量大于该预设值时,该第一MAC实体可以重新启动该状态变量Bj的累加,并为该分裂承载分配资源。可选地,可以先重新启动该状态变量Bj的累加,再为该分裂承载分配资源;也可以为该分裂承载分配资源,再重新启动该状态变量Bj的累加,本发明并不限于此。
应理解,在本发明的各种实施例中,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本发明实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
因此,本发明实施例的上行数据传输的方法,用户设备MAC实体收到相应的基站发送的资源分配信息后,若该MAC实体没有向该基站发送了包括分裂承载缓存状态信息的缓存状态报告时,或分裂承载的数据量小于预设值且该MAC实体不是预先配置的执行分裂承载传输的MAC实体时,不为该分裂承载分配资源,也不向PDCP层发送分裂承载的数据传输指示信息,从而能够避免分裂承载抢占资源导致资源浪费及影响其他业务传输质量,保证了不同业务的公平性,由此能够提高资源使用效率。
