Description

一种数据传输方法、设备及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种数据传输方法、设备及系统。
背景技术
目前,在设备到设备(英文:Device-to-Device,D2D)通信方式中,一种比较特殊的方式是一个用户设备(英文:User Equipment,UE)通过另外一个具备中继功能的UE与网络进行连接,一般将前者称为远端用户设备(英文:Remote UE),将后者称为中继用户设备(英文:Relay UE),将Remote UE和Relay UE间的通信链路称为侧行链路(Sidelink)。
在长期演进(英文:Long Term Evolution,LTE)的协议标准13(英文:Release 13,Rel-13)中,对基于层三的Relay而言,一个主要的问题是基站收到来自Relay UE的数据后,无法区分该数据是来自Relay UE自己的数据,还是来自该Relay UE服务的某一个Remote UE的数据。为解决这个问题,目前3GPP开始研究基于层二的Relay。对于基于Relay UE的通信中,Relay UE需要同时为多个Remote UE提供接入。针对这种情况,基站和Relay UE处如何区分数据是来自/传给哪个UE的(Relay UE或者Relay UE连接的某个remote UE的),一种技术方案是:在Relay UE处为每个Remote UE的每个数据流配置一个独立的无线承载(英文:Radio Bearer,RB),使每个数据流采用独立的无线承载传输至基站,并且每个无线承载具有一个唯一的逻辑信道标识(英文:Logical Channel ID,LCID),以便基站根据LCID区分接收到的数据来自哪个UE。
但是,目前的LCID只有5bit,其取值是有限的,即仅存在0~32个取值,并且其中一些值已经用于指示其他信息,如:媒体接入控制控制单元(英文:Medium Access Control Control Element,MAC  CE)的类型,当Relay UE提供服务的Remote UE数目较多,或者每个Remote UE的数据流较多时,目前有限的LCID值无法支持Relay UE为每个Remote UE的每个数据流独立配置一个具有唯一标识的无线承载,这严重影响了Remote UE的数据的正常传输,仍旧不能很好地解决基站/Relay UE处如何区分数据是来自/传给哪个UE的(Relay UE或者Relay UE连接的某个remote UE的)。
发明内容
本申请提供一种数据传输方法、设备及系统,以解决在基站处如何区分接收到的Relay UE发送的数据是来自哪个UE(Relay UE或者与Relay UE连接的某个Remote UE)的数据,以及解决在Relay UE处如何区分自身接收到的基站发送的数据是传给哪个UE(Relay UE或者与Relay UE连接的某个Remote UE)的问题。
为达到上述目的,本申请采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种数据传输方法,该方法由Relay UE执行,可以包括:
接收Remote UE发送的包含Remote UE的第一标识的数据,根据接收到的Remote UE的第一标识,确定Remote UE在该Relay UE下的唯一标识,即第二标识,连同确定出的Remote UE的第一标识向基站发送Remote UE的数据。
其中,第一标识可以为Remote UE的层2地址,如源MAC地址或者用于LTE系统中设备到设备间通信的用户设备标识。
如此,在Relay UE向基站发送数据的同时,将Remote UE的第二标识也发送至基站,以便基站根据接收到的Remote UE的第二标识识别出接收到的数据为Relay UE下哪个Remote UE发送的数据。
可选的,在Relay UE向基站发送Remote UE的数据时,可以将Remote UE的数据承载在Relay UE为Remote UE创建的无线承载上发送至基站,具体的,在第一方面的一种可实现方式中,结合第一方面,该方法还可以包括:
Relay UE接收网络设备发送的含用于传输与Relay UE连接的Remote UE的数据的至少一个第一无线承载的配置参数,至少一个第一无线承载中每个第一无线承载的配置参数包括:第一无线承载的标识,或者第一无线承载对应的逻辑信道标识LCID;并根据至少一个第一无线承载的配置参数,为Remote UE建立至少一个第一无线承载。
Relay UE确定Remote UE的数据对应的第一无线承载;
Relay UE通过与数据相对应的第一无线承载向基站发送数据,与该数据一起发送的还有Remote UE的第二标识、以及与数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID。
需要说明的是,在Relay UE确定Remote UE的数据对应的第一无线承载的过程中,对于同一Remote UE而言,可以为同属于一个数据流的数据配置一个第一无线承载,也可以将属于不同数据流的数据配置一个第一无线承载,本发明实施例对此不进行限定,但同一Remote UE对应的第一无线承载的标识或者LCID是唯一的,而不同Remote UE间第一无线承载的标识或者LCID可以是相同,即无线承载的标识或者LCID可以重复标识不同Remote UE的无线承载。
如此,在Relay UE向基站发送数据的同时,可以将Remote UE的第二标识、以及该Remote UE的数据对应的无线承载的标识或者LCID也发送至基站,以便基站根据接收到的Remote UE的第二标识、以及无线承载的标识或者LCID识别出接收到的数据为Relay UE下哪个Remote UE的哪个无线承载上发送的数据。此外,上述可实现方式中不同Remote UE可以重复使用无线承载的标识或者LCID,以此避免了现有无线承载标识或者LCID有限的问题。
可选的,在第一方面的第二种可实现方式中,结合第一方面或者第一方面的可实现方式,上述Relay UE确定Remote UE的数据对应的第一无线承载可以包括:
Relay UE接收Remote UE通过至少一个第二无线承载发送的携 带有每个第二无线承载的标识或者每个第二无线承载的LCID的数据,根据每个第二无线承载的标识,或者每个第二无线承载的LCID,确定Remote UE的数据对应的第一无线承载。
如此,Relay UE可以根据Remote UE与Relay UE之间传输数据的无线承载确定出Relay UE与基站间的无线承载。
可选的,在第一方面的又一种可实现方式中,结合第一方面或者第一方面的可实现方式,Relay UE可以将Remote UE的第二标识、与数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID以及数据携带在媒体接入控制协议数据单元MAC PDU中向基站发送。
具体的,可以将Remote UE的第二标识携带在MAC PDU中的第一MAC subheader或者一个MAC CE中,与数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID携带在MAC PDU中的第二MAC subheader中,数据携带在MAC PDU中的一个MAC SDU中向基站发送。
如图4a所示,将Remote UE的第二标识包含在第一MAC subheader中,与数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID携带在MAC PDU中的第二MAC subheader中,数据携带在MAC PDU中的一个MAC SDU中向基站发送,其中,第二MAC subheader还可以用于指示MAC PDU中包含Remote UE的数据。
或者,如图4b所示,第一MAC subheader包含比特图bitmap,bitmap包含至少一个比特位,其中,至少一个比特位中的比特位n用于指示MAC PDU中是否包含与Relay UE连接的第二标识为n的Remote UE的数据,n为0或者大于等于1的整数,即若Remote UE的第二标识为n,则比特位n可以填充用于指示该MAC PDU中包含该Remote UE的数据数值,以此将Remote UE的第二标识与bitmap中的比特位关联起来;与数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID携带在MAC PDU中的第二MAC subheader中,数据携带在MAC PDU中的一个MAC SDU中向基站发送,其中,第二MAC subheader还可以用于指示MAC PDU中包含Remote UE的数据。
或者,如图4c所示,MAC CE包含Remote UE的第二标识,与 数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID携带在MAC PDU中的第二MAC subheader中,数据携带在MAC PDU中的一个MAC SDU中向基站发送;相对应的,MAC PDU还可以包含第三MAC Subheader,第三Subheader包含用于指示MAC CE为包含Remote UE的第二标识的LCID。
或者,如图4b所示,MAC CE包含bitmap,bitmap包含至少一个比特位,其中,至少一个比特位中的比特位n用于指示MAC PDU中是否包含与Relay UE连接的第二标识为n的Remote UE的数据,n为0或者大于等于1的整数,以此将Remote UE的第二标识与bitmap中的比特位关联起来;与数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID携带在MAC PDU中的第二MAC subheader中,数据携带在MAC PDU中的一个MAC SDU中向基站发送,其中,MAC PDU还可以包含第四MAC Subheader,第四MAC Subheader包含用于指示MAC CE为包含bitmap的MAC CE。
如此,Relay UE可以通过如图4a~图4b所示的方法将Remote UE的第二标识、与数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID以及数据携带在媒体接入控制协议数据单元MAC PDU中向基站发送。
可选的,在第一方面的再一种可实现方式中,结合第一方面或者第一方面的可实现方式,该方法还可以包括:
当基站调度Remote UE/Relay UE的上行数据时,在调度上行数据的下行控制信息(英文:Downlink Control Information,DCI)(例如,DCI format 0)中加入调度信息所针对的Remote UE或者Relay UE的第二标识;根据该第二标识,Relay UE可以确定出所述下行控制信息中分配的上行资源是用于发送自己的数据还是其中某个Remote UE的数据。例如,可以根据DCI中Remote UE的第二标识,在该DCI指示的资源上发送Remote UE的数据。
需要说明的是,只有当基站配置某个Relay UE开始为Remote UE提供数据转发服务后,在发送给该Relay UE的下行控制信息中才会包含所述第二标识,即Relay UE在解码DCI时会按照DCI中 包含所述第二标识后的比特数和格式来解码DCI。否则,Relay UE按照目前的DCI中包含的比特数和格式来解码DCI。当基站发送的一个DCI为调度Relay UE自己的上行数据传输时,在DCI中包含第二标识,例如可以设为0000(假设Index用4bit表示)。
如此,Relay UE可以根据基站下发的DCI中所指示的与Remote UE对应的资源向基站发送数据,以使基站根据资源位置确定出接收到的数据为哪个Remote UE发送的数据。
可选的,在第一方面的再一种可实现方式中,结合第一方面或者第一方面的任一可实现方式,Relay UE可以采用下述方式一或者方式二根据第一标识确定Remote UE的第二标识:
方式一:Relay UE接收Remote UE发送的用于请求Relay UE与Remote UE建立连接、且包含Remote UE的第一标识连接建立请求,向基站发送包含Remote UE的第一标识的通知消息;
接收基站返回的包含由基站确定的Remote UE的第二标识与第一标识映射关系的响应消息,根据响应消息确定Remote UE的第二标识以及第二标识与第一标识的映射关系;
根据Remote UE的第二标识以及第二标识与第一标识的映射关系确定Remote UE的第二标识。
方式二:Relay UE接收Remote UE发送的用于请求Relay UE与Remote UE建立连接、且包含Remote UE的第一标识的连接建立请求,确定Remote UE的第二标识,并将Remote UE的第二标识与Remote UE的第一标识建立映射关系;
相应的,在方式二中,该方法还可以包括:
Relay UE向基站包含Remote UE的第二标识和/或第二标识与第一标识的映射关系,以便基站根据接收到的信息确定Remote UE的第二标识。
如此,Relay UE可以根据上述方式一或者方式二确定出Remote UE的第二标识。
相对应的,作为Relay UE向基站发送数据的逆过程,在基站向 Relay UE发送多个UE(Remote UE或Relay UE)的数据时,也可以参照上述方法,将该UE的数据、该UE的无线承载的标识、以及该UE的第二标识一起发送至Relay UE,以便Relay UE根据接收的UE的数据、该UE的无线承载的标识、以及该UE的第二标识确定将数据传给哪个UE(自身或者与其连接的Remote UE),具体实现如下第二方面所述。
第二方面,提供一种数据传输方法,由基站执行,该方法可以包括:
向Relay UE发送用于建立用于传输在所述基站和Relay UE间传输与RelayUE连接的Remote UE的数据的至少一个第一无线承载、且包含至少一个第一无线承载的配置参数的第一消息,获取Remote UE的数据,确定Remote UE的第二标识。
基站确定与Remote UE的数据对应的第一无线承载,通过该第一无线承载向Relay UE发送该Remote UE的数据,与该数据一起发送的还有第一无线承载的LCID、以及该Remote UE的第二标识。
其中,至少一个第一无线承载中每个第一无线承载的配置参数可以包括第一无线承载的标识和/或第一无线承载对应的逻辑信道标识LCID。
需要说明的是,在基站为Remote UE创建第一无线承载的过程中,对于同一Remote UE而言,可以为同属于一个数据流的数据配置一个第一无线承载,也可以将属于不同数据流的数据配置一个第一无线承载,本发明实施例对此不进行限定,但同一Remote UE对应的第一无线承载的标识或者LCID是唯一的,而不同Remote UE间第一无线承载的标识或者LCID可以是相同,即无线承载的标识或者LCID可以重复标识不同Remote UE的无线承载。
如此,基站在向Relay UE发送多个Remote UE的数据的同时可以携带上Remote UE的第二标识、以及该Remote UE的数据所处的无线承载的LCID,通过发送Remote UE的第二标识、以及无线承载的标识或者LCID来区分哪个无线承载上的数据为哪个UE的数 据。
可选的,在第二方面的一种可实现方式中,结合第二方面,基站也可以通过如图4a~图4b所示的方案将Remote UE的数据、Remote UE的每个无线承载的标识或者LCID、以及Remote UE的第二标识发送至Relay UE,在此不再重复赘述。
可选的,在第二方面的又一种可实现方式中,结合第二方面或者第二方面的可实现方式,该方法还可以包括:
基站调度Remote UE/Relay UE的下行数据时,在调度下行数据的DCI(例如,DCI format 1A)中加入该调度信息所针对的Remote UE或者Relay UE的第二标识,根据该第二标识,Relay UE可以确定出所收到的下行数据是发送给自己的数据还是其中某个Remote UE的数据。
需要说明的是,只有当基站配置某个Relay UE开始为Remote UE提供数据转发服务后,在发送给该Relay UE的下行控制信息中才会包含所述第二标识,即Relay UE在解码DCI时会按照DCI中包含所述第二标识后的比特数和格式来解码DCI。否则,Relay UE按照目前的DCI中包含的比特数和格式来解码DCI。当基站发送的一个DCI为调度Relay UE自己的上行数据传输时,在DCI中包含第二标识,例如可以设为0000(假设Index用4bit表示)。
如此,Relay UE可以根据基站下发的DCI中所指示的与Remote UE对应的资源接收基站发送的数据,以使Relay UE根据资源位置确定出接收到的数据为哪个Remote UE的数据。
可选的,在第二方面的一种可实现方式中,结合第二方面或者第二方面的任一可实现方式,基站可以采用下述方式一或者方式二确定Remote UE的第二标识:
方式一:基站接收Remote UE上报的Remote UE第一标识,将Remote UE的第一标识与Remote UE的C-RNTI建立映射关系;
接收Relay UE发送的包含Remote UE的第一标识的通知消息,为Remote UE分配一个第二标识,并向Relay UE返回包含该Remote  UE的第二标识以及所述第二标识与Remote UE的第一标识之间的映射关系的响应消息。
方式二:基站接收Remote UE上报的Remote UE第一标识,将Remote UE的第一标识与Remote UE的C-RNTI建立映射关系;
基站接收Relay UE发送的包含Remote UE的第二标识的通知消息,并向Relay UE返回用于通知Relay UE为Remote UE提供连接的响应消息,同时,基站将该Remote UE的第二标识与Remote UE的C-RNTI建立映射关系。
如此,基站可以根据上述方式一或者方式二确定出Remote UE的第二标识。

在本发明的描述中,需要理解的是,术语“第一”、“第二”、“另一”等指示的系统或元件为基于实施例描述的具有一定功能的系统或元件,仅是为了便于描述本发明和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的系统或元件必须有此命名,因此不能理解为对本发明的限制。
详细描述本方案之前,为了便于理解本发明所述的技术方案,对本发明中的一些重要名词进行详细解释,需要理解的是,下述名词仅是本发明技术人员为了描述方便进行的命名,并不代表或暗示所指的系统或元件必须有此命名,因此不能理解为对本发明的限制:

具体的,如图2所示,基站10可以包括:通信接口1011、处理器1012、存储器1013以及至少一个通信总线1014,用于实现这些装置之间的连接和相互通信;Relay UE20可以包括:通信接口2011、处理器2012、存储器2013以及至少一个通信总线2014,用于实现这些装置之间的连接和相互通信;Remote UE30可以包括:通信接口3011、处理器3012、存储器3013以及至少一个通信总线3014,用于实现这些装置之间的连接和相互通信。
其中,通信接口1011、通信接口2011、通信接口3011,可以由天线来实现,可用于与外部网元之间进行数据交互,如:基站10的通信接口1011可收发与Relay UE20间的数据包或资源请求信息; Relay UE20的通信接口2011可收发与UE或基站10间或Remote UE30之间的数据包或资源请求信息。例如:通信接口3011可以将Remote UE30的数据以及其他信息发送至通信接口2011,通信接口2011接收到数据或其他信息后,通过Relay UE20与基站间的无线承载将数据或其他信息发送至通信接口1011,交由基站10处理。
处理器1012、处理器2012、处理器3012,可能是一个中央处理器(英文:Central Processing Unit,CPU),也可以是特定集成电路(英文:Application Specific Integrated Circuit,ASIC),或者是被配置成实施本发明实施例的一个或多个集成电路。例如:一个或多个微处理器(英文:Digital Singnal Processor,DSP),或,一个或者多个现场可编程门阵列(英文:Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA)。处理器1012、处理器2012、处理器3012具有处理管理功能,具体的,处理器1012可以对接收到的Relay UE20发送的数据或信息进行处理,处理器2012可以对接收到的Remote UE30发送的数据或信息进行处理,处理器3012可以对Remote UE30自身产生的数据或信息进行处理、或者对其他设备发送的信息或数据进行处理。
存储器1013、存储器2013、存储器3013,可以是易失性存储器(volatile memory),例如随机存取存储器(英文:Random-Access Memory,RAM);或者非易失性存储器(non-volatile memory)。例如只读存储器(英文:Read-Only Memory,ROM),快闪存储器(flash memory),硬盘(hard disk drive,HDD)或固态硬盘(英文:Solid-State Drive,SSD);或者上述种类的存储器的组合。具体的,存储器1013、存储器2013、存储器3013内可以存储支持本发明实施例所述的数据传输方法的数据或程序代码,以便处理器1012、处理器2012、处理器3012根据自身所处设备中存储器内存储的数据或程序代码执行本发明实施例提供的数据传输方法。

具体的,Relay UE20的通信接口2011可以在接收到Remote UE30的通信接口3011发送的数据包含Remote UE30的第一标识后,Relay UE20的处理器2012根据Remote UE30的第一标识,确定Remote UE30的第二标识,并由通信接口2011同时向基站发送Remote UE30的数据、以及Remote UE30的第二标识。
其中,上述第一标识可以为Remote UE的层2地址(Layer 2ID);若Remote UE和Relay UE间的通信技术采用的是LTE侧行链路(Sidelink)技术,则该第一标识可以为Remote UE用于设备到设备间通信的用户设备标识,如:可以为Remote UE的服务用户设备标识(ProSe UE ID);若Remote UE和Relay UE间的通信技术采用的是蓝牙或无线局域网(英文:Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)技术,则该第一标识可以为Remote UE的源媒体接入控制(英文:Medium Access Control,MAC)地址。
所述第二标识可以称之为Remote UE的索引(Remote UE Index),或者Remote UE ID,为Remote UE与Relay UE连接时Remote UE的唯一标识,可以用多个比特数来表示。其中,表示Remote UE Index的比特数的多少取决于Relay UE下可以连接的最大的Remote UE的数目。例如:Relay UE最多可连接4个Remote UE,则可以采用2bit来表示Remote UE Index。例如,对于同一Remote UE而言,与Relay UE1连接时的索引可以为:Remote UE Index1,与Relay UE2连接时的索引可以为:Remote UE Index2。
为便于描述,以下实施例以第一标识为Remote UE的Layer 2ID,第二标识为Remote UE的Index为例,示出并详细描述了本发明提供的数据传输方法的过程,其中,示出的步骤也可以在一组可执行指令的计算机系统中执行。此外,虽然在图中示出了逻辑顺序, 但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
图3为本发明实施例提供的一种数据传输方法的流程图,该方法由图1或图2所示的设备交互执行,该方法可以应用于:Relay UE向基站发送该Relay UE接收到的至少一个Remote UE的数据的场景;如图3所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
101:Relay UE接收Remote UE的数据,该数据包含Remote UE的Layer 2ID。
其中,上述Remote UE可以为与Relay UE连接的任一Remote UE,Relay UE可以通过Relay UE与该Remote UE间的Sidelink或者WLAN或者蓝牙链路接收Remote UE发送的数据
102:Relay UE根据Remote UE的Layer 2ID,确定Remote UE的索引。
可选的,Relay UE确定该Remote UE的索引的过程可参照后续图6或图7或图8所示方案。
103:Relay UE向基站发送该Remote UE的数据、以及该Remote UE的索引。
如此,Relay UE可以通过将Remote UE的数据、以及Remote UE的索引一起发送至基站,以便基站根据Remote UE的索引确定出接收到的数据是Relay UE下的哪个Remote UE的数据。
在本发明实施例的又一可行性方案中,在Relay UE向基站发送该Remote UE的数据时,Relay UE可以为Remote UE创建多个无线承载,通过无线承载向基站发送数据,同时,为了避免现有技术中标识无线承载的无线承载标识或者LCID值有限的问题,可以在创建无线承载时,使同一Remote UE的无线承载配置唯一的无线承载标识和/或者LCID,不同Remote UE间的第一无线承载配置相同的无线承载标识和/或者逻辑信道标识,具体的,其实现方式如图3a所示,可以包括以下步骤:
201:Relay UE接收网络设备发送的第一消息,第一消息用于 建立用于传输在所述基站和Relay UE间传输与Relay UE连接的Remote UE的数据的至少一个第一无线承载,所述第一消息中包含所述至少一个第一无线承载的配置参数。
其中,上述网络设备可以为基站,至少一个第一无线承载中每个第一无线承载的配置参数包括:第一无线承载的标识和/或第一无线承载对应的逻辑信道标识LCID。
202:Relay UE根据至少一个第一无线承载的配置参数,为Remote UE建立至少一个第一无线承载。
其中,第一无线承载为在Relay UE与基站之间传输与所述RelayUE连接的Remote UE的数据的无线承载,Relay UE根据第一无线承载的配置参数建立第一无线承载的过程为现有技术,在此不再详细赘述。
步骤203:Relay UE接收Remote UE通过至少一个第二无线承载发送的数据,该数据中携带有:每个第二无线承载的标识和/或每个第二无线承载的LCID、以及Remote UE的Layer 2ID。
204:Relay UE根据Remote UE的Layer 2ID,确定Remote UE的索引。
可选的,Relay UE确定该Remote UE的索引的过程可参照后续图6或图7或图8所示方案。
205:Relay UE确定Remote UE的数据对应的第一无线承载。
可选的,Relay UE可以根据步骤203中接收到的第二无线承载的标识和/或每个第二无线承载的LCID确定Remote UE的数据对应的第一无线承载。
206:Relay UE通过与所述数据相对应的第一无线承载向基站发送所述数据,与所述数据一起发给基站的还包含所述Remote UE的索引、以及与所述数据对应的第一无线承载的LCID。
可选的,对于上述Remote UE而言,在为该Remote UE发送的数据建立第一无线承载的过程中,可以为包含多个数据的每条数据流对应建立一个无线承载,每个无线承载可以对应传输数据流上的 多个数据,且为了解决现有LCID取值有限的问题,不同的Remote UE的无线承载的无线承载标识和/或LCID可以相同,同一Remote UE下的不同无线承载具有不同的无线承载标识和/或LCID。
例如,Remote UE1有三个数据流、Remote UE2有二个数据流,则基站可以为Relay UE配置用于分别传输Remote UE1的三个数据流的数据的三个第一无线承载:其无线承载ID(DRB ID)和关联的逻辑信道ID分别为:DRB ID=1/LCID=1的无线承载、DRB ID=2/LCID=2的无线承载以及DRB ID/LCID=3的无线承载,为Relay UE配置用于分别传输Remote UE2的二个数据流的数据的二个第二无线承载,其无线承载ID和关联的逻辑信道ID分别为:DRB ID=1/LCID=1的无线承载、以及DRB ID=2/LCID=2的无线承载,以此将每个Remote UE发送的数据流通过对应的第一无线承载传输至基站。
需要说明的是,Relay UE在向基站发送接收到的Remote UE的数据的同时,还可以发送自身的数据,本发明实施例对此不进行限定,即本发明可以采用图3a所示的方案向基站同时发送多个UE(Remote UE或者Relay UE)的数据,只不过,不论发送哪个UE(Remote UE或Relay UE)的数据,只需要在发送数据的同时携带上用于用于标识UE的索引以及标识相应无线承载的LCID、即可,以便基站接收到数据之后能够区分是哪个UE通过哪个无线承载发送的数据。
如此,Relay UE在向基站发送多个Remote UE的数据的同时可以携带上Remote UE的索引、以及该Remote UE的数据所对应的无线承载的LCID,通过LCID的重复使用以此避免现有技术中LCID取值有限的问题,同时,通过发送Remote UE的索引来区分具有相同LCID的无线承载上的数据为哪个Remote UE发送的数据。
可选的,在步骤206中,若Remote UE具有N个无线承载,且Relay UE分别通过每个无线承载向基站发送数据,则Relay UE可以通过下述方案(1.1)~(1.5)将Remote UE的数据、Remote UE的 每个无线承载的LCID、以及Remote UE的Index发送至基站,其中,N为大于等于1的整数:
方案(1.1)当基站调度Remote UE/Relay UE的上行数据时,在调度上行数据的下行控制信息(英文:Downlink Control Information,DCI)(例如,DCI format 0)中加入调度信息所针对的Remote UE或者Relay UE的Index。根据该Index,Relay UE可以确定出所述下行控制信息中分配的上行资源是用于发送自己的数据还是其中某个Remote UE的数据。例如,可以根据DCI中Remote UE的索引,在该DCI指示的资源上发送Remote UE的数据。
需要说明的是,只有当基站配置某个Relay UE开始为Remote UE提供数据转发服务后,在发送给该Relay UE的下行控制信息中才会包含所述Index,即Relay UE在解码DCI时会按照DCI中包含所述Index后的比特数和格式来解码DCI。否则,Relay UE按照目前的DCI中包含的比特数和格式来解码DCI。当基站发送的一个DCI为调度Relay UE自己的上行数据传输时,在DCI中包含Index,例如可以设为0000(假设Index用4bit表示)。
方案(1.2):将Remote UE的数据、承载Remote UE的数据的每个无线承载的LCID、以及Remote UE的Index携带在媒体接入控制协议数据单元(英文:Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit,MAC PDU)中向基站发送;
其中,该MAC PDU可以包括:媒体接入控制头(MAC Header)、以及多个媒体接入控制服务数据单元(英文:MAC Service Data Unit,MAC SDU),多个MAC SDU中包含N个与Remote UE的N个无线承载一一对应的MAC SDU,N个MAC SDU中每个MAC SDU内可以包含与该MAC SDU相对应的无线承载上的数据,即将Remote UE的每个无线承载上的数据分别对应携带在MAC SDU中;
MAC Header可以包含多个媒体接入控制子头(MAC Subheader),该多个MAC Subheader可以包含第一MAC Subheader、以及N个第二MAC Subheader,N个第二MAC Subheader与N个无 线承载一一对应;
第一MAC Subheader可以包含:Remote UE的Index;
N个第二MAC Subheader中的每个第二MAC Subheader可以包含LCID,该第二MAC Subheader包含的LCID用于标识与该第二MAC Subheader对应的无线承载、以及指示与该无线承载对应的MAC SDU。
即由上可知,在方案(1.2)中,将Remote UE对应的多个无线承载上的数据分别携带在多个MAC SDU上发往基站,同时,在MAC Subheader中存在与该Remote UE相对应的包含该Remote UE的索引的MAC Subheader、以及包含无线承载的LCID的MAC Subheader。
例如,如图4a所示,若Relay UE同时接收到的Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2,Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2,且Relay UE为Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,为Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,则Relay UE将同时接收到的Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU1、MAC SDU2中,以及将Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU3、MAC SDU4中,并在MAC PDU中的MAC Subheader1中填充Remote UE1的索引:Remote UE Index1,在MAC Subheader2中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader3中填充LCID2,在MAC PDU中的MAC Subheader4中填充Remote UE1的索引:Remote UE Index1,在MAC Subheader5中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader6中填充LCID2。
需要说明的是,在方案(1.2)中,如图4a所示,填充Remote UE Index的MAC Subheader除包含Remote UE Index之外,还可以包含其他比特,如:Tbit、预留(R)bit,其中,Tbit的取值可以用于指示与该MAC Subheader相邻的下一MAC Subheader是新定义的包含 UE Index的Subheader还是类似于目前上下行链路上的MAC PDU中定义的包含LCID的Subheader;此外,如图4a所示,该MAC PDU还可以包括:媒体接入控制控制单元(英文:MAC Control Element,MAC CE)、以及空白填充(Padding),MAC Header还可以包括与MAC CE相对应的MAC Subheader、以及与Padding相对应的Padding Subheader,本发明实施例对此不进行限定。
另外,目前在包含LCID的MAC Subheader中有两个预留比特。其中一个预留比特可以用于指示与该MAC Subheader相邻的下一MAC Subheader是新定义的包含Remote UE Index的Subheader,还是类似于目前上下行链路上的MAC PDU中定义的包含LCID的Subheader。
方案(1.3):将Remote UE的数据、承载Remote UE的数据的每个无线承载的LCID、以及Remote UE的Index携带在MAC PDU中向基站发送;
其中,该MAC PDU可以包括:MAC Header、MAC CE,至少一MAC SDU;该至少一MAC SDU中可以包含与Remote UE相对应的N个MAC SDU;
上述MAC CE可以包含Remote UE的Index;
N个MAC SDU与Remote UE的N个无线承载一一对应,每个MAC SDU内可以包含与该MAC SDU相对应的无线承载上的数据,即将Remote UE的每个无线承载上的数据分别对应携带在MAC SDU中;
为了指示包含Remote UE的索引的第一MAC CE、以及包含Remote UE的无线承载上的数据的第二MAC SDU,相对应的,MAC Header可以包含:至少一个MAC Subheader;该至少一个MAC Subheader中可以包含第三MAC Subheader、以及N个MAC Subheader,N个MAC Subheader与N个无线承载一一对应,第三MAC Subheader可以包含用于指示MAC CE为包含Remote UE的索引的LCID,N个MAC Subheader中每个MAC Subheader可以包含 用于标识与该MAC Subheader对应的无线承载、以及指示与该无线承载对应的MAC SDU。
即由上可知,在方案(1.3)中,对于任意Remote UE而言,将该Remote UE的索引、以及该Remote UE的无线承载上的数据分别携带在MAC SDU发往基站,同时,在MAC Subheader中存在与该Remote UE相对应的多个MAC Subheader,通过多个MAC Subheader中包含LCID的MAC Subheader来指示该包含Remote UE的索引的MAC SDU、以及包含该Remote UE的数据的MAC SDU。
例如,如图4b所示,若Relay UE同时接收到的Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2,Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2,且Relay UE为Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,为Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,则Relay UE将Remote UE1的索引填充到MAC CE1中,将Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU1、MAC SDU2中,将Remote UE2的索引填充到MAC CE2中,将Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU3、MAC SDU4中,并在MAC PDU中的MAC Subheader1中填充用于指示MAC CE1为包含Remote UE的索引的LCID,在MAC Subheader2中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader3中填充LCID2,在MAC PDU中的MAC Subheader4中填充用于指示MAC CE2为包含Remote UE的索引的LCID,在MAC Subheader5中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader6中填充LCID2。
需要说明的是,在方案(1.3)中,如图4b所示,填充Remote UE Index的MAC SDU除包含Remote UE Index之外,还可以包含其他比特,如:预留(R)bit;填充LCID的MAC Subheader除包含LCID之外,还可以包含其他比特,如:R、E、F以及F2。此外,如图4b所示,该MAC PDU还可以包括:空白填充(Padding),MAC  Header还可以包括与MAC CE相对应的MAC Subheader、以及与Padding相对应的Padding Subheader,本发明实施例对此不进行限定。
可选的,为了支持LCID指示的包含Remote UE Index的MAC CE,可以从目前下行共享信道(英文:Downlink Shared Channel,DL-SCH)所用的LCID和上行共享信道(Uplink Shared Channel,UL-SCH)所用的LCID的预留值中取出一个作为指示包含Remote UE Index的MAC CE的LCID值,例如,在下行共享信道中,如下表1所示,可以用10111来指示包含Remote UE Index的MAC CE;而LCID的其他取值的指示作用仍与现有相同,在此不再重复赘述。在上行共享信道中,如下表2所示,可以用10101来指示包含Remote UE Index的MAC CE;而LCID的其他取值的指示作用仍与现有相同,在此不再重复赘述。

N个MAC Subheader中每个MAC Subheader包含LCID,该LCID用于标识与该MAC Subheader相对应的无线承载、且用于指示其所对应的MAC SDU为包含与MAC SDU相对应的无线承载上的数据的MAC SDU。
即由上可知,在方案(1.4)中,将Remote UE多个无线承载上的数据分别一一对应的携带在多个MAC SDU内发往基站,同时,通过MAC Subheader中包含bitmap的MAC Subheader指示该MAC PDU中携带有哪些Remote UE的数据、以及通过包含有LCID的MAC Subheader来标识无线承载、以及携带有无线承载上的数据的MAC SDU。
例如,如图4c所示,若Relay UE同时接收到的Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2,Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2,且Relay UE为Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,为Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻 辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,则Relay UE将接收到的Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU1、MAC SDU2中,将接收到的Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU3、MAC SDU4中,同时,在MAC Subheader1内的bitmap中与该Remote UE1、Remote UE2对应的位置分别填充1,其他部分填充0,在MAC Subheader2中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader3中填充LCID2,在MAC Subheader4中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader5中填充LCID2。
需要说明的是,在方案(1.4)中,如图4c所示,填充LCID的MAC Subheader除包含LCID之外,还可以包含其他比特,如:R、E、F以及F2,其中,Rbit的取值可以用于指示该MAC Subheader中的LCID所指示的MAC SDU与该MAC Subheader相邻的下一MAC Subheader中的LCID所指示的MAC SDU是否包含同一Remote UE的数据。此外,该MAC PDU还可以包括:MAC CE、以及空白填充(Padding),MAC Header还可以包括与MAC CE相对应的MAC Subheader、以及与Padding相对应的Padding Subheader,本发明实施例对此不进行限定。

该MAC CE可以包含比特图(bitmap),至少一个MAC SDU中可以包含与N个无线承载一一对应的N个MAC SDU,每个MAC SDU用于携带与该MAC SDU对应的无线承载的数据;
MAC CE中的bitmap包含与至少一个Remote UE一一对应的至少一个比特位,所述至少一个比特位中的比特位n用于指示所述MAC PDU中是否包含与所述Relay UE连接的第二标识为n的Remote UE的数据,所述n为0或者大于等于1的整数,所述bitmap 中的bit位的个数取决于Relay UE下可以连接的最大的Remote UE的数目。在方案(1.5)中,bitmap中的比特数例如可以为16bit,第n个bit位对应索引为n的Remote UE,且用数字“1”指示所述MAC PDU中包含与所述比特位对应的Remote UE的数据,用数字“0”指示MAC PDU中不包含与所述比特位对应的Remote UE的数据,此外,bit位还可以采用其他值用于指示所述MAC PDU中是否包含与该比特位对应的Remote UE的数据,本发明对此不进行限定;
为了指示携带bitmap的MAC CE、以及包含无线承载的数据的MAC SDU,在方案(1.5)中,该MAC Header可以包含:一个包含LCID的第四MAC Subheader,该第四MAC Subheader包含的LCID用于指示包含bitmap的MAC CE;以及,与N个MAC SDU一一对应的N个MAC Subheader,N个MAC Subheader中每个MAC Subheader包含用于标识与该MAC Subheader对应的无线承载、以及用于指示包含与该MAC Subheader对应的无线承载上的数据的MAC SDU的LCID。
即由上可知,在方案(1.5)中,通过包含bitmap的MAC CE指示该MAC PDU中携带有哪些Remote UE的数据,并将Remote UE的多个无线承载上的数据分别对应携带在多个MAC SDU发往基站,同时,通过包含有LCID的MAC Subheader来指示携带有bitmap、以及数据的MAC SDU。
例如,如图4d所示,若Relay UE同时接收到的Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2,Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2,且Relay UE为Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,为Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别建立无线承载:逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID1的无线承载、逻辑信道标识LCID配置为LCID2的无线承载,则Relay UE在MAC CE1内的bitmap中与该Remote UE1、Remote UE2对应的位置分别 填充1,其他部分填充0,并将接收到的Remote UE1发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU1、MAC SDU2中,将接收到的Remote UE2发送的数据1、数据2分别填充到MAC SDU3、MAC SDU4中,同时,在MAC Subheader1内填充用于标识包含bitmap的MAC CE的LCID,在MAC Subheader2中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader3中填充LCID2,在MAC Subheader4中填充LCID1,在MAC Subheader5中填充LCID2。
需要说明的是,在方案(1.5)中,如图4d所示,该MAC PDU还可以包括:空白填充(Padding),MAC Header还可以包括与MAC CE相对应的MAC Subheader、以及与Padding相对应的Padding Subheader,本发明实施例对此不进行限定。
此外,与方案(1.3)相同,在方案(1.5)中的上下行传输信道中分别新定义一个LCID值来指示包含Remote UE Index的MAC CE。
如此,Relay UE可以通过上述方案(1.1)~(1.5)向基站发送Remote UE的数据。
相对应的,作为Relay UE向基站发送数据的逆过程,在基站向Relay UE发送多个UE(Remote UE或Relay UE)的数据时,也可以参照上述方法,将该UE的数据、该UE的无线承载的标识、以及该UE的索引一起发送至Relay UE,以便Relay UE根据接收的UE的数据、该UE的无线承载的标识、以及该UE的索引确定将数据传给哪个UE(自身或者与其连接的Remote UE)。
下面结合图5,以基站向Relay UE发送至少一个Remote UE的数据,Relay UE将接收到的数据分别对应发送至至少一个Remote UE为例,对基站向Relay UE发送数据的方案进行描述,如图5所示,该方案可以包括如下步骤:
301:基站向Relay UE发送的第一消息,第一消息用于建立用于传输在所述基站和Relay UE间传输与RelayUE连接的Remote UE的数据的至少一个第一无线承载,所述第一消息中包含所述至少一 个第一无线承载的配置参数。
其中,所述至少一个第一无线承载中每个第一无线承载的配置参数包括:第一无线承载的标识和/或第一无线承载对应的逻辑信道标识LCID。
302:基站获取Remote UE的数据。
可选的,基站可以从核心网处获取Remote UE的数据。
303:基站确定Remote UE的索引。
其中,Remote UE可以为与Relay UE连接的任一Remote UE,且至少一个Remote UE中每个Remote UE的索引基站也是可知的。
可选的,基站可以在接收到核心网发送的Remote UE的数据之后,根据Remote UE的C-RNTI、以及Remote UE的Index与Remote UE的C-RNTI间的映射关系,确定出Remote UE的Index,基站确定Remote UE的Index的方式可以参照后续介绍的图6或图7所示的方案。
其中,基站为Remote UE的数据建立无线承载的方式可参照现有技术,在此不再重复赘述。
304:基站通过Remote UE的无线承载向Relay UE发送该Remote UE的数据,与该数据一起发给Relay UE还有:该无线承载的LCID、以及该Remote UE的索引。
其中,上述Remote UE的无线承载可以为图3a所示方案中Relay UE确定出的发送Remote UE的数据的第一无线承载。
需要说明的是,基站在向Relay UE发送Remote UE的数据的同时,还可以发送Relay UE自身的数据,本发明实施例对此不进行限定,即本发明可以采用图5所示的方案向基站同时发送多个Remote UE或者Relay UE的数据,只不过,发送Relay UE的数据的时候,可以不用携带Relay UE的索引。
可选的,在步骤204中,基站可以通过下述上述方案(2.1)~(2.5)将Remote UE的数据、Remote UE的每个无线承载的LCID、以及Remote UE的Index发送至Relay UE:
方案(2.1):基站调度Remote UE/Relay UE的下行数据时,在调度下行数据的DCI(例如,DCI format 1A)中加入该调度信息所针对的Remote UE或者Relay UE的Index。根据该Index,Relay UE可以确定出所收到的下行数据是发送给自己的数据还是其中某个Remote UE的数据。
需要说明的是,只有当基站配置某个Relay UE开始为Remote UE提供数据转发服务后,在发送给该Relay UE的下行控制信息中才会包含所述Index,即Relay UE在解码DCI时会按照DCI中包含所述Index后的比特数和格式来解码DCI。否则,Relay UE按照目前的DCI中包含的比特数和格式来解码DCI。当基站发送的一个DCI为调度Relay UE的下行数据传输时,在DCI中包含Index,例如可以设为0000(假设Index用4bit表示)。
方案(2.2)~方案(2.5)与上述方案(1.2)~(1.5)相同,在此不再重复赘述。
如此,基站在向Relay UE发送多个Remote UE的数据的同时可以携带上Remote UE的索引、以及该Remote UE的数据所处的无线承载的LCID,通过LCID的重复使用以此避免现有技术中LCID取值有限的问题,同时,通过发送Remote UE的索引来区分具有相同LCID的无线承载上的数据为哪个Remote UE的数据。
可选的,对于与Relay UE连接的任一Remote UE,Relay UE和基站可以通过图6或图7或图8所示的方式确定Remote UE的索引,如图6所示,该方式可以包括以下步骤:
1011:Remote UE将自己的Layer 2ID上报给基站。
1012:基站收到Remote UE的Layer 2ID后,将Remote UE的Layer 2ID与Remote UE的小区无线网络临时标识(英文:Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI)建立映射关系。
其中,Remote UE的小区无线网络临时标识(英文:Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI):为Remote UE在其服务小区内的唯一标识。
1013:当Remote UE发现并最终选择一个Relay UE后,Remote UE向Relay UE发送连接建立请求,该连接建立请求用于请求Relay UE与Remote UE建立连接,该连接建立请求中包含Remote UE会自己的Layer 2ID。
1014:Relay UE接收Remote UE发送的连接建立请求,向基站发送通知消息,该通知消息用于通知基站该Remote UE需要与自己建立D2D通信的连接,该通知消息包含Remote UE的Layer 2ID。
1015:基站接收Relay UE发送的通知消息,为Remote UE分配一个索引(Index),并向Relay UE返回包含该Remote UE的索引以及所述索引与Remote UE的Layer 2ID之间的映射关系的响应消息,该响应消息用于通知Relay UE为Remote UE提供连接,同时,基站将该Remote UE的Index与Remote UE的C-RNTI建立映射关系。
1016:Relay UE接收基站发送的通知消息,向Remote UE返回连接建立响应,该连接建立响应用于通知Remote UE与其建立连接。
可选的,Relay UE可以在接收到基站发送的通知消息前向Remote UE返回连接建立响应。
如图7所示,该方式可以包括以下步骤:
执行2011~2013,其中,步骤2011与图5中的步骤1011相同,步骤2012与图5中的步骤1012相同,步骤2013与图5中的步骤1013相同,在此不再重复赘述。
接下来,执行步骤2014~2015:
2014:Relay UE接收Remote UE发送的连接建立请求,根据收到的Remote UE的Layer 2ID,为Remote UE分配一个Index,并向基站发送通知消息,该通知消息用于通知基站该Remote UE需要与自己建立D2D通信的连接,该通知消息包含Relay UE为Remote UE分配的Index以及Layer 2ID与Remote UE的Index的映射关系。
2015:基站接收Relay UE发送的通知消息,并向Relay UE返回用于通知Relay UE为Remote UE提供连接的响应消息,同时,基 站将该Remote UE的Index与Remote UE的C-RNTI建立映射关系。
可选的,基站可以根据步骤2012中Remote UE的Layer 2ID与Remote UE的C-RNTI间建立映射关系、以及通知消息中包含的Remote UE的Layer 2ID与Remote UE的Index的映射关系,将该Remote UE的Index与Remote UE的C-RNTI建立映射关系。
2016:Relay UE接收基站发送的通知消息,向Remote UE返回连接建立响应,该连接建立响应用于通知Remote UE与其建立连接。
如图8所示,该方式可以包括以下步骤:
3011:Remote UE发现并最终选择一个Relay UE后,Remote UE向Relay UE发送设备到设备间通信的连接建立请求,该连接建立请求用于请求Relay UE与Remote UE建立连接,该连接建立请求中包含Remote UE自己的Layer 2ID。
3012:Relay UE接收Remote UE发送的设备到设备间通信的连接建立请求,向基站发送通知消息,该通知消息用于通知基站该Remote UE需要与自己建立D2D通信的连接,该通知消息包含Remote UE的Layer 2ID。
3013:基站接收Relay UE发送的通知消息,为Remote UE分配一个索引(Index),并向Relay UE返回包含该Remote UE的索引以及所述索引与Remote UE的Layer 2ID之间的映射关系的响应消息,该响应消息用于通知Relay UE为Remote UE提供连接。
3014:Relay UE接收基站发送的通知消息,向Remote UE返回设备到设备间通信的连接建立响应,该连接建立响应用于通知Remote UE与其建立连接。
可选的,Relay UE可以在接收到基站发送的通知消息前向Remote UE返回所述连接建立响应。
3015:基站接收Remote UE的无线资源控制(英文:Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接建立请求消息。该RRC连接建立请求消息通过Relay UE转发给基站。在Relay UE转发的包含RRC连接建立请求消息的数据中,包含步骤1013中Relay UE获得的Remote  UE的索引。在RRC连接建立请求消息中包含Remote UE的一个UE标识,例如为S-TMSI(英文SAE Temporary Mobile Station Identifier)。基站将该Remote UE的Index与Remote UE的S-TMSI建立映射关系,或者基站为Remote UE分配一个C-RNTI,并将Remote UE的Index与Remote UE的C-RNTI建立映射关系。
