Description

一种链接建立方法及相关设备 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体涉及一种链接建立方法及相关设备。
背景技术
在网络通信时代中,用户终端,例如可穿戴设备(Wearable equipment,简称WE)等都希望可以接入网络,从而可以获得更多的网络服务,为用户提供更多的功能。
目前,终端在接入网络时,需要在签约的网络中进行附着attach,在attach完成之后获得网络临时标识,建立一个终端到网络侧设备的初始承载。但是在某些场景下,终端不方便直接与网络侧设备建立初始承载,比如当终端处于提供网络服务的网络侧设备的覆盖范围外时,此时终端无法直接连接到该网络侧设备上,从而终端无法获得网络侧设备提供的网络服务。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供了一种链接建立方法及相关设备,可以使远端终端通过中继设备建立到网络侧设备的接入网链接,提高网络接入灵活性。
第一方面,本发明实施例提供了一种链接建立方法,该方法包括:中继设备通过中继设备与远端设备之间的末梢链路接收远端设备发送的第一接入网协议层2消息,该第一接入网协议层2消息用于表示远端设备请求建立网络侧设备与远端设备之间的接入网链接;中继设备根据第一接入网协议层2消息对应生成第二接入网协议层2消息并将该第二接入网协议层2消息发送给网络侧设备,其中,第二接入网协议层2消息用于请求所述网络侧设备建立接入网链接;然后中继设备再接收网络侧设备响应该第二接入网协议层2消息而返回的第三接入网协议层2消息,其中,第三接入网协议层2消息包括远端设备与网络侧设备之间的无线承载配置信息;最后中继设备再根据该第三接入网协议层2消息对应生成第四接入网协议层2消息并将该第四接入网协议层2消息发送给远端设备以建立远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。
本发明实施例提供的方案中,通过中继设备建立远端设备与网络侧设备之 间的接入网链接,从而使得远端设备不方便与网络侧设备直接通信时,也能成功地接入网络侧设备,提高网络接入灵活性。例如,当远端设备处于网络侧设备的覆盖范围外时,使远端设备可通过中继设备建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。
更进一步地,由于通过中继设备建立远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接,使得远端设备只需要与中继设备进行物理通信,降低远端设备的发射功率,节省远端设备的电量。
更进一步地,由于网络侧设备通过中继设备建立与远端设备之间的接入网链接,使得远端设备快速建立与网络设备的链接,降低远端设备的链接建立时延同时减少了远端设备的信令的发送从而实际上节省远端设备的电量消耗。
在一个可能的设计中,该第一接入网协议层2消息包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于标识远端设备,该第一指示信息包括以下至少一种信息:

为了使本技术领域的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,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分的实施例,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,都应当属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”和“第 三”等是用于区别不同对象,而非用于描述特定顺序。此外,术语“包括”以及它们任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。例如包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备没有限定于已列出的步骤或单元,而是可选地还包括没有列出的步骤或单元,或可选地还包括对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
在本文中提及“实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本发明的至少一个实施例中。在说明书中的各个位置出现该短语并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的独立的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员显式地和隐式地理解的是,本文所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。
首先参见图1-a和图1-b,图1-a是本发明实施例提供的一种链接建立系统的网络架构图,图1-b是本发明实施例提供的另一种链接建立系统的网络架构图。本发明实施例所提供的链接建立方法以及链路选择方法可基于这两个网络架构图来执行。在图1-a所示的第一网络架构中,包括远端设备110,中继设备120以及网络侧设备130。其中,中继设备是120指能直接接入网络侧设备130从而与网络侧设备130之间建立通信的设备,用于转发远端设备的数据和或者信令到移动通讯网络的设备或者将数据和/或者信令从网络侧设备130转发到远端设备110;远端设备110可以是指与网络侧设备130距离较远,处于网络侧设备130的网络覆盖范围之外,从而无法直接和网络侧设备130建立通讯连接,但远端设备110与中继设备120之间可以直接建立连接,例如,远端设备110与中继设备120之间可以低功耗蓝牙(Blue tooth low energy,简称BLE)或无线技术Wifi建立链接,从而远端设备110可以通过中继设备120建立与网络侧设备130之间的接入网链接,以进行上行或者下行数据的传输。
具体地,该远端设备110可以为手机、可穿戴设备(Wearable equipment,简称WE)等用户设备(User Equipment,简称UE),该中继设备120也可以为手机、可穿戴设备等通信终端,该网络侧设备130可以为演讲型基站(evolved NodeB,简称eNodeB)等提供网络接入资源的网络侧设备。
在图1-b所示的网络架构中,与图1-a不同的是,远端设备110处于网络侧设备130的网络覆盖范围内,也即远端设备110可与网络侧设备130之间直 接建立网络通信连接,但是当远端设备110直接接入网络侧设备130提供的网络服务时,需要较大的发射功率,而由于远端设备110一般为一些电池容量比较小的可穿戴设备,所以需要该远端设备110的操作为低功耗的,而当远端设备110与中继设备120进行通信时,所需要的发射功率比较小,所以为了节约远端设备110的电量,可以在该第二网络架构下,使远端设备110通过中继设备120与建立与网络侧设备130之间的接入网链接,以进行上行或者下行数据的传输。
参见图2,图2示出了本发明实施例提供的协议栈结构示意图。该协议栈为远端设备、中继设备以及网络侧设备之间的控制面协议栈,本发明实施例所提供的链接建立方法以及链路选择方法均基于该协议栈结构进行实现。
在图2所示的控制面协议栈结构中,远端设备与网络侧设备之间具有对等的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称RRC)层和(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,简称PDCP)层,RRC层负责管理远端设备的接入链接的参数配置和建立远端设备的承载(包括接入的无线承载和网络侧设备到核心网的承载),配置远端设备到传输数据和信令的安全参数。
基于如图2所示的协议栈,对于核心网的移动性处理实体(Mobility Management Entity Mobility Management Entity,简称MME),服务网关(Serving GateWay,简称SGW),PDN网关(PDN GateWay,简称PGW)来说,WE就如同直接通过通过UU口链接到eNB,核心网对于WE的管理与不经过relay UE时相同,从而可以使得能够保持核心网的兼容性,以及在WE与relay UE离开较远时,WE直接通过UU口链接到eNB时,eNB仍然保持WE的上下文,可以快速恢复业务数据的传递能力,移动性的处理流程简单而时延少。
这样的协议栈对于eNB来说,WE的RRC的上传下载数据,特别是安全参数都是eNB直接管理的,信令以及数据传输的完整性保护、加密解密的过程都是只由WE与eNB的PDCP层参与完成的,保证了WE经过任何一个relay UE的情形下,WE到eNB的信令和/或者数据的传输都是安全可靠的,因为relay UE无法解密WE的数据。
在本发明实施例所提供的协议栈架构中,relay UE与WE的之间的接口可以是长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)的D2D,或者蓝牙技术,或者wifi技术,或者其他的终端之间进行直接通信的无线技术。
参见图3,图3示出了本发明实施例提供的一种链接建立方法的实施例流程示意图。如图3所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
S301、中继设备向远端设备发送权限指示信息,以指示远端UE该中继设备具有中继UE的权限。
在本发明实施例中,当远端UE监听到该指示信息后,远端UE选择通过该中继UE建立和网络侧设备之间的初始链接。
具体地,该中继UE可以通过发送同步信号,或广播信息,该广播信息用于被远端设备WE发现可以通过中继UE接入蜂窝网络。
具体地,该广播信息的内容包括公用陆地移动网络(Public Lands Mobile Network,简称PLMN)标识,cellid和Ueid,进一步还包含中继UE所在小区的位置追踪区(Tracking area,简称TA),或者TAlist。
其中,PLMN标识是中继UE所驻留的网络的标识,例如中国移动,用于指示远端设备可通过该中继UE所接入的移动网络;cellid则是relay UE(中继UE)当前驻留或者被服务的小区的标识,Ueid是蜂窝网络中基站或者核心网设备分配给relay UE的标识;TA是中继UE当前驻留或者被服务小区所属于的位置追踪区。
进一步的,该广播信息中还可以包括蜂窝网络中的基站的IP地址;
更进一步的,该广播信息中会广播蓝牙或者WiFi技术需要的上层协议类型指示信息代码,这个代码是用于通知收发两端来标识一个数据包的协议类型。

可选地,更进一步地,在步骤S301之前,中继设备向网络侧设备发送鉴权认证并获得网络侧设备的授权。
在本发明实施例中,当远端设备的RRC层接收到上层的指示信息或者信令数据包时,若该指示信息或信令数据包指示需要通过中继设备建立远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接时,此时远端设备将通过具有的中继权限的中继设备建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。
具体地,在本发明实施例中,中继设备首先需要向网络侧设备进行鉴权,成为可以做为远端UE建立远端设备和网络侧设备之间的RRC链接的中继UE。
S302、建立远端设备和中继设备之间的点对点末梢链路。
其中,点对点末梢链路是指远端设备与中继设备进行通信的通信连接,具体地,该点对点末梢链路可以为D2D链接,使用的是预配置的profile,用于满足传输最初的一些RRC信令。
具体地,该D2D链接可以为蓝牙链接BTlink,其中的profile至少包括WE的BTlink的蓝牙的核心协议数据传输协议L2CAP配置参数,支持的上层协议类型以及对应指示信息。
S303、远端设备通过所述远端设备与中继设备之间的末梢链路向所述中继设备发送第一接入网协议层2消息,所述第一接入网协议层2消息用于表示所述远端设备请求建立网络侧设备与所述远端设备之间的接入网链接。
此时,中继设备通过所述中继设备与远端设备之间的末梢链路接收所述远端设备发送的第一接入网协议层2消息,所述第一接入网协议层2消息用于表示所述远端设备请求建立网络侧设备与所述远端设备之间的接入网链接。
可选地,所述第一接入网协议层2消息包括第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于标识所述远端设备,所述第一指示信息包括所述第一接入网协议层2消息的数据类型以及以下至少一种信息:

其中,所述第一接入网协议层2消息的数据类型用于指示该消息为信令数据或业务数据,该业务数据可以为会话类业务数据、流类业务数据、交互类业务数据或者背景类业务数据。
可选地,用于标识远端设备的第一指示信息还可以是该远端设备的MAC地址(其中,该MAC地址是硬件设备商出厂是设置的),和/或者该远端设备 的IP地址等。
可选地,该第一指示信息还可以是其它用于标识远端设备的信息。
可以理解,通过在第一接入网协议层2消息中携带第一指示信息,从而使得中继设备可以通过该第一指示信息区分发送该第一接入网协议层2消息的远端WE。
具体地,远端设备WE生成第一接入网协议层2消息RRC connection Request消息,在Adapter层、数据包合成协议层(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,简称PDCP)层或无线链路控制层(Radio Link Control,简称RLC层)添加自己的ID即临时标识码(Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity,简称TMSI)或国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identity,简称IMSI),其中,TMSI在WE已经进行了初始附着时使用,而IMSI在尚未进行初始附着时使用。
具体地,在Adaper层的配置要求添加RBID时,添加RBID=0的包头,用于表明这个递交到BT底层的数据包为SRB0(signaling radio bearer 0)的消息。
具体地,该第一接入网协议层2消息可以通过WE和中继设备之间的BTlink从WE发送至中继设备。
可选地,该第一接入网层2消息可以为为RLC PDU、MAC DPU或PDCP PDU。
S304、中继设备根据所述第一接入网协议层2消息对应生成第二接入网协议层2消息并将所述第二接入网协议层2消息发送给所述网络侧设备,所述第二接入网协议层2消息用于请求所述网络侧设备建立所述接入网链接。
此时,网络侧设备将接收中继设备发送的第二接入网协议层2消息,所述第二接入网协议层2消息用于请求所述网络侧设备建立所述网络侧设备与远端设备之间的接入网链接。
可选地,所述中继设备根据所述第一接入网协议层2消息对应生成第二接入网层2消息之前,所述方法还包括:
所述中继设备获取所述第一接入网层2消息的所述第一指示信息或末梢无线链路信息,所述末梢无线链路信息包括用于区分所述远端设备的时域或频 域物理信息、用于区分所述远端设备的无线链路标识、用于区分所述远端设备的无线链路协议层实体标识信息。
可选地,中继设备还可以获取其它可以区分远端设备的信息。
可以理解,通过在中继设备根据所述第一接入网协议层2消息对应生成第二接入网层2消息之前获取用于区分远端设备的信息,从而使得对应生成的第二接入协议层2消息也能标识远端设备。
可选地,所述第二接入网层2消息包括第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于给所述网络侧设备指示所述第二接入网层2消息对应的所述远端设备或指示所述第二接入网层2消息是用于所述远端设备请求所述网络侧设备建立所述接入网链接。
可选地,所述第二指示信息包括第二接入网层2消息的数据类型以及以下消息中的至少一种:
所述远端设备的标识、所述远端设备与所述中继设备之间的末梢链路标识以及对应于远端设备的中继协议处理实体标识。
其中,末梢链路标识是指远端设备与中继设备之间所建立的点对点通信链路的标识,从而可以通过该末梢链路标识来指示与该中继设备通信的远端设备。
可选地,该第二指示信息还可以包括其它可以标识远端设备,或者标识远端设备和中继设备之间的链路的信息。
需要说明,第二接入网协议层2消息的数据类型用于指示网络侧设备在对该第二接入网协议层2消息进行解析时所使用的解析方式。
具体地,中继UE的BT底层正确接收到第一接入网协议层2消息RRC connection Request消息之后,根据底层的PSM指示递交给Adapter层。Adapter层记录TMSI,读取RBID域得知数据包的内容为SRB0的内容。
具体地,当中继UE收到远端设备的第一接入网层2消息,判断出该第一接入网层2消息是SRB0的消息,就能够知道远端设备想和eNB建立接入网链接或者恢复曾经建立失败的接入网链接,中继UE因此生成第二接入网层2消息,该第二接入网层2消息中设置一个容器container,这个container中包含远端UE发送的第二接入网层2消息的内容。然后中继UE再将第二接入网层2消息发送给网络侧设备eNB以通知网络侧设备需要建立一个远端UE至 网络侧设备的接入网链接。
具体地,所述第二接入网层2消息使用所述中继设备与所述网络侧设备之间的无线信令承载或无线数据承载进行发送,所述无线信令承载或者数据承载用于中继远端设备的功能是网络侧设备配置的。
可选地,在本发明一个示例中,所述将所述第二接入网层2消息发送给所述网络侧设备之前,所述方法还包括:
所述中继设备向所述网络侧设备发送第四无线信令承载建立请求;
接收所述网络侧设备返回的所述第四无线信令承载配置信息以使所述中继设备通过基于所述第四无线信令承载配置信息生成的第四无线信令承载将所述第二接入网层2消息发送给所述网络侧设备。
具体地,中继UE首先向eNB发送第四无线信令承载SRB4建立请求或者initial WE request,从而网络侧设备根据该SRB4建立请求或者initial WE request发送SRB4配置信息,中继UE根据该SRB4配置信息建立SRB4,用于传输远端设备与网络侧设备之间的特定接入网层2消息,该特定接入网层2消息是指这个接入网层2消息中能够被中继UE和/或者网络侧设备辨识消息内部的内容是RRC信令消息,而该RRC信令消息用于远端设备和网络侧设备之间进行链路建立维护使用的。
可选地,网络侧设备在第四无线信令承载配置信息中携带了小区无线网络临时识别列表(Cell Radio Network Temmporary Identify list,简称CRNTIlist),所述CRNTIlist用于后续中继UE给远端设备分配接入网侧标识。
具体地,该第四无线信令承载配置信息可用下述代码进行实现:
Figure PCTCN2016094711-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2016094711-appb-000002
可选地,在本发明另一个示例中,所述中继设备在生成第二接入网层2消息之前,所述方法还包括:
中继UE根据网络侧设备配置的CRNTIlist来为所述远端设备分配一个小区无线网络临时识别CRNTI。
进一步可选地,中继UE通过末梢链路将分配的所述CRNTI通知所述远端设备。
可选地,在本发明另一个示例中,所述中继设备将所述第二接入网层2消息发送给所述网络侧设备之后,所述方法还包括:
接收所述网络侧设备响应所述第二接入网层2消息而返回的第四无线信令承载配置信息。
具体地,也可以是中继UE直接转发包含远端设备标识的第一接入网层2消息,然后eNB在接收到该转发消息后发现消息中包含了远端设备标识,因此发送第四无线信令承载配置信息给中继UE以便建立中继UE和eNB之间的SRB4。
可以理解,在建立中继UE和eNB之间的SRB4后,从而远端UE和eNB之间的SRB0消息则可以在该SRB4上进行传输。
可选地,该第二接入网层2消息可以为RLC PDU、MAC DPU或PDCP PDU。
S305、网络侧设备生成第三接入网协议层2消息并向所述中继设备发送所述第三接入网协议层2消息以响应所述第二接入网协议层2消息,所述第三接入网协议层2消息包括所述远端设备与所述网络侧设备之间的无线承载配置信息。
此时,中继设备将接收所述网络侧设备响应所述第二接入网协议层2消息而返回的第三接入网协议层2消息,所述第三接入网协议层2消息包括所述远端设备与所述网络侧设备之间的无线承载配置信息。
可选地,所述第三接入网层2消息包括第三指示信息,所述第三指示信息用于使所述中继设备确定所述无线承载配置信息对应的所述远端设备,以使所述远端设备基于所述无线承载配置信息配置无线承载并发送所述远端设备与所述网络侧设备的接入网链路完成消息给所述网络侧设备。
具体地,所述第三指示信息包括第二接入网层2消息的数据类型以及以下消息中的至少一种:
所述远端设备的标识、所述远端设备与所述中继设备之间的末梢链路标识以及对应于远端设备的中继协议处理实体标识。
可选地,该第三指示信息还可以为其它可以使中继设备确定无线承载配置信息对应的所述远端设备。
具体地,该第三接入网层2消息使用所述中继设备与所述网络侧设备之间的无线信令承载或无线数据承载进行发送。
具体地,eNB收到第二接入网层2消息,根据第二接入网层2消息中的第三指示信息判断该第二接入网层2消息是否为远端UE发送的SRB0消息,以在该第二接入网层2消息为远端UE发送的SRB0消息时建立或者恢复RRC链接。
具体地,eNB先建立SRB0处理实体,然后去处理远端UE发送的RRC connection request消息(也即第二接入网层2消息)后生成RRC connection setup,该RRC connection setup消息中包含了远端UE与eNB之间的信令承载的配置信息。
可选的,如果中继UE没有被授权给远端UE分配标识的时候,RRC connection setup消息中包括远端WE的CRNTI。
更进一步地,RRC connection setup消息生成后,eNB会继续送入属于中继UE的接入网层2实体来生成第三接入网层2消息。
可选地,该第三接入网层2消息可以为RLC PDU、MAC DPU或PDCP PDU。
具体地,当使用MAC PDU方式时,可在发送给中继UE的MAC PDU中增加一个remote UEid的域用于发送CRNTI。
可选地,第三接入网层2消息可利用步骤S305中在中继UE与网络侧设备之间可以作为中继的无线承载从网络侧设备传输给中继UE。
S306、中继设备根据第三接入网协议层2消息对应生成第四接入网协议层2消息并将所述第四接入网协议层2消息发送给所述远端设备。
可选地,所述第四接入网协议层2消息包括所述远端设备的小区临时无线标识CRNTI。
可选地,所述中继设备从所述网络侧设备获取一个或多个小区临时无线标识,以使所述中继设备将所述一个或多个小区临时无线标识中的一个分配给所述远端设备。
可以理解,当有多个远端UE需要建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接时,可以由中继设备首先从网络侧设备(例如eNB)获取多个CRNTI(具体实现方法见实施例步骤S305的描述),从而远端设备可以从这些分配的CRNTI中进行选择。
具体地,在本发明的一个可能的实施方式中,中继UE建立CRNTI与BTlink之间的映射关系,从而使得与该CRINT对应的第四接入网协议层2消息可以通过与该CRINT对应的BTlink发送至相应的远端WE。
可选地,在本发明一个实施例中,Relay UE建立一个RB用于传输WE的SRB1&2消息。
具体地,可使用如下代码来实现一个DRB来传输远端WE的SRB1&2消息。
Figure PCTCN2016094711-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2016094711-appb-000004
可选地,在本发明另一个实施例中,分别在Relay UE上建立2个SRB,例如SRB5,SRB6,对应于用于传输远端WE的SRB1和SRB2。
S307、远端设备接收所述网络侧设备返回的第四接入网协议层2消息并基于所述第四接入网协议层2消息建立所述远端设备与所述网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。
在本发明实施例中,所述第四接入网协议层2消息由第三接入网协议层2消息对应生成,所述第三接入网协议层2消息包含所述远端设备与所述网络侧设备之间的无线承载配置信息。建立起远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接,使得后续远端设备和网络侧设备之间可以基于该链接进行通信,但是在实际通信过程中,各条消息均是通过中继设备在远端设备在网络侧设备之间进行传输。
可选地,该第四接入网协议层2消息包括所述远端设备的小区临时无线标识。
具体地,远端设备从第四接入网信息中获得网络侧设备上自己的标识,也即该CRNTI。
具体地,远端WE收到“RRC connection setup”消息后,获得CRNTI,按照该消息中携带的SRB配置信息建立远端UE和eNB之间的无线信令承载SRB,并且生成“RRC connection setup complete”消息发送给eNB,这个数据包就通过中继UE与eNB之间新建的Relay SRB来传输。其中,“RRC connection setup complete”消息中会携带NAS层递交的“attach request”消息。
更进一步地,在远端设备通过中继设备建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接之前,首先需要远端设备对接入承载链路类型进行选择。
具体地,在步骤S301之前,还包括步骤:
S308、远端设备的非接入层NAS层根据指示信息得到链路选择结果信息或远端设备的AS层根据指示信息确定链路选择结果。
在本发明实施例中,远端设备的非接入层NAS层根据指示信息得到链路 选择结果信息并将所述链路选择结果信息发送给接入层AS层,以使所述AS层根据所述链路选择结果信息确定是否通过所述中继设备建立与所述网络侧设备之间的接入网链接;或者,
所述AS层根据所述指示信息确定是否通过所述中继设备建立与所述网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。
在本发明实施例中,由于指示信息可以反映远端设备的数据链路需要,所以通过指示信息来确定远端设备建立链路的方式,该种判断方式得到的链路选择结果将准确反映远端设备的接入需求,更进一步地,通过AS层根据指示信息确定链路选择结果,或由NAS层根据指示信息得到链路选择结果再发送给AS层,从而使得链路选择方式更为灵活,因此也能够进一步提升用户的业务体验。
可选地,该指示信息包括以下至少一种:EMM登记信息、内部设置信息、通讯实体层状态信息以及数据发送要求信息。
具体地,所述EMM登记信息包括EMM注册状态或EMM未注册状态;所述内部设置信息包括省电模式、非省电模式;所述通讯实体层状态信息包括不在服务区、ECM注册状态、ECM未注册状态、MM空闲状态或MM连接状态;所述数据发送要求信息包括服务质量Qos信息、数据类型信息,所述数据类型信息包括语音主叫、语音被叫和紧急呼叫。
可选地,当以下指示信息中的至少一个满足时,确定所述远端设备采用通过所述中继设备建立与所述网络侧设备之间的初始链接:
所述EMM登记信息为所述EMM未注册状态、所述内部设置信息为所述省电模式、所述通讯实体状态信息为所述不在服务区、所述数据类型信息为所述语音主叫、所述数据类型信息为所述语音被叫、所述数据类型信息为所述紧急呼叫;或者,
若所述数据类型信息为所述语音被叫、所述语音被叫或所述紧急呼叫,且所述通讯实体层状态信息为所述ECM注册状态,确定所述远端设备采用通过所述中继设备建立与所述网络侧设备之间的初始链接。
举例说明,在本发明的一个示例中,当指示信息中包含紧急呼叫、语音主叫或者语音被叫时,AS会同时发起2个链路的建立,一个是通过蜂窝的无线 模块直接与蜂窝系统的eNB建立RRC链接,另一个是通过D2D模块(包括LTE-D2D,BT,wifi)来寻找relay UE,找到的情况下同时建立一个经过中继的relay link。
具体地,当确定通过所述中继设备建立与所述网络侧设备之间的接入网链接,且中继模式可用时,远端WE的NAS层选择发送NAS信令attach request的承载链路为通过中继设备的承载链路。远端WE的NAS层向AS层发送指示信息:承载链路类型指示为中继承载;远端WE然后发送NAS层生成的attach request消息给AS层实体,例如RRC层。从而由AS层实体选择通过中继设备建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。
更进一步地,当确定通过所述中继设备建立与所述网络侧设备之间的接入网链接,但当无法寻找到合适的relay UE,或者通过relay UE link建立时间超过一个设定的门限值时,AS层选择蜂窝无线模块直接和eNB建立RRC链接。所述门限值可以是UE内部设定,也可以是从当前驻留的网络获取的。
本发明实施例提供的技术方案中,通过中继设备转发远端设备向网络侧设备请求的第一接入网协议层2消息,并将该第一接入网协议层2消息对应生成第二接入网协议层2消息并发送给网络侧设备,从而网络侧设备根据该第二接入网协议层2消息生成第三接入网协议层2消息并发送给中继设备,该第三接入网协议层2消息中携带远端设备与网络侧设备之间的无线承载配置信息,中继设备再将该第三接入网协议层2消息对应生成第四接入网协议层2消息并发送给远端设备,最后远端设备基于该无线承载配置信息建立远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。通过中继设备建立远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接,从而使得远端设备不方便与网络侧设备直接通信时,也能成功地接入网络侧设备,提高网络接入灵活性。例如,当远端设备处于网络侧设备的覆盖范围外时,使远端设备可通过中继设备建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接。
更进一步地,由于通过中继设备建立远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接,使得远端设备只需要与中继设备进行物理通信,降低远端设备的发射功率,节省远端设备的电量。
更进一步地,由于网络侧设备通过中继设备建立与远端设备之间的接入网链接,使得远端设备快速建立与网络设备的链接,降低远端设备的链接建立时 延同时减少了远端设备的信令的发送从而实际上节省远端设备的电量消耗。
参见图4,图4是本发明实施例提供的另一种链接建立方法的流程示意图,该方法基于的场景是:网络侧设备中预先存储有远端设备与中继设备之间的末梢链路映射关系,例如,在远端设备通过中继设备建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接失败后,或者,远端设备在之前时刻通过中继设备成功建立与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接后被动地使该链接断开后(比如中继设备切换小区),此时为了恢复远端设备与网络侧设备之间的接入网链接,网络侧设备可主动向中继设备请求建立网络侧设备与远端设备之间的接入网链接,或者,因为有共同的属性,网络侧记录了中继设备和远端设备的配对关系,比如远端设备和中继设备属于同一个用户,属于同一个朋友圈,有共同的业务类型,有共同的ISDN号码等,当网络侧有数据要发送给远端设备时,网络侧主动发起通过中继设备到远端设备的链接建立,具体链接建立方法流程如下。其中,图4所示的方法中,与图3所示方法相同或类似的内容可以参考图3中的详细描述,此处不再赘述。如图4所示,该方法可以包括如下步骤:
S401、网络侧设备发送CRNTI给中继设备,以使中继设备将该CRNTI分配给远端设备。
在本发明实施例中,网络侧设备在主动给中继设备发送建立与远端设备之间的接入网链接之前,首先为远端设备分配CRNTI。或者
可选的,在本发明实施例中,在网络侧设备给所述中继设备分配一个或多个小区临时无线标识,以使所述中继设备将所述一个或多个小区临时无线标识中的一个分配给所述远端设备。
S402、网络侧设备向中继设备发送接入网协议层2消息。
其中,该接入网协议层2消息用于建立所述网络侧设备与远端设备之间的接入网链接,所述接入网协议层2消息包括所述远端设备与所述网络侧设备之间的无线承载配置信息。
