在本申请中,PDCP实体作为MeNB和/或SeNB中实现数据分离和/或汇聚的实体,即用户面数据经过PDCP实体处理,一部分数据利用PDCP实体所在的基站提供的资源进行传输,另一部分数据发往/来自另一基站并利用所述基站提供的资源进行传输。可选的,所述通过SeNB传输的数据还经过另一个实体处理(称为LNAAP实体),所述LNAAP实体负责将来自/去往PDCP实体的数据按照双连接部署所要求的形式封装/解封装后,并发往/来自SeNB。例如LNAAP实体给每个来自PDCP实体的PDCP PDU增加DRB标识等。
需要说明的是,对应不同的MeNB类型(例如NR MgNB、LTE MeNB和eLTE MeNB),实现数据分离和或汇聚的实体的名称可能不同,但本申请中将其统一称为PDCP实体,所述实体可以实现数据分离和/或汇聚的功能。
图6示出了根据本申请一个实施例的用于建立/重配置数据承载的方法的流程图。图6所示方法可以应用于在NR、LTE、eLTE双连接部署场景中建立MCG承载、SCG承载、MCG分离承载、SCG分离承载的过程。以下均以数据承载DRB为类说明。需要说明的是,本申请并不限于所述命名,本申请也适用于在eLTE或NR中可能采用的命名方式不同的情况。
如图6所示,方法600在步骤S610处开始。在步骤S620,接收数据承载建立/重配置请求消息。请求消息可以包括数据承载标识和承载类型指示信元。其中,数据承载标识用于标识数据承载,而承载类型指示信元用于指示要建立的/要重配置的数据承载的类型。在步骤S630,根据所述请求消息,建立/重配置相应的数据承载。最后,方法600在步骤S640处结束。
下面,分别按照建立数据承载和重配置数据承载两个方面对图6所示的方法进行具体描述。
建立数据承载
以下采用类似LTE和WLAN聚合(LWA)中LWA承载建立过程的描述方式描述LTE、eLTE、NR双连部署场景中MCG承载、SCG承载、MCG分离承载、SCG分离承载的建立过程。
在步骤S620,接收DRB建立请求消息。该请求消息用于建立相应的承载。承载建立请求消息可以是LTE或eLTE或NR无线资源控制RRC重配置消息。这依赖于双连接部署场景:如果是LTE eNB为主基站,可以称为LTE无线资源控制重配置消息;如果是eLTE eNB为主基站,可以称为eLTE无线资源控制重配置消息;如果是NR gNB为主基站,可以称为NR无线资源控制重配置消息。优选地,无线资源控制消息中可以包含来自两种或两种以上无线接入技术RAT的无线资源控制消息。
DRB建立请求消息中借以包含DRB标识drb-Identity。具体地,drb-Identity可以包含在信元ToAddModList中。DRB标识用于唯一标识这个DRB(例如,在UE中唯一标识一个DRB)。DRB建立请求消息中可以包 含承载类型指示信元drb-TypeLNA,承载类型指示信元drb-TypeLNA用于指示要建立的承载类型。例如,当LTE为主基站,NR为辅基站时,承载类型指示信元可以指示的DRB类型为:LTE-NR MCG承载、LTE-NR SCG承载、LTE-NR MCG分离承载、LTE-NR SCG分离承载。上述过程可以类似的推广到其他的双连接组合的场景。
在步骤S630,根据所DRB建立请求消息来建立相应的DRB。
具体地,对于DRB建立请求消息中包含的承载标识drb-Identity,且承载标识对应的承载不是UE已配置的承载,可以执行以下步骤:
-如果承载类型指示信元drb-TypeLNA指示对应的DRB为MCG承载;则执行MCG承载的建立过程。
-如果承载类型指示信元drb-TypeLNA指示对应的DRB为SCG承载;则执行SCG承载的建立过程。
-如果承载类型指示信元drb-TypeLNA指示对应的DRB为MCG分离承载;则执行MCG分离承载的建立过程。
-如果承载类型指示信元drb-TypeLNA指示对应的DRB为SCG分离承载;则执行SCG分离承载的建立过程。
可选的,在执行上述步骤前,UE还可以根据DRB建立/重配置请求消息携带的信元,按照区别双连接类型的方式确定SeNB类型。
可选的,在建立DRB后向上层指示DRB的建立及其标识。
需要说明的是,上述各个步骤不分先后顺序且都是可选的执行(只有定义了对应类型的承载对应步骤才可能执行)。
重配置数据承载
以下采用类似LTE和WLAN聚合(LWA)中LWA承载建立过程的描述方式描述LTE、eLTE、NR双连部署场景中承载重配置过程。
在步骤S620,接收承载重配置消息。承载重配置消息可以用于修改/重配置UE中已配置的承载。承载重配置消息可以是LTE或eLTE或NR无线资源控制RRC重配置消息。承载重配置消息可以包含承载重配置指示信元drb-TypeChangeLNA,该承载重配置指示信元指示重配置的承载类型。
另外,承载重配置可以包含:MCG承载重配置为SCG承载和/或MCG承载重配置为MCG分离承载和/或MCG承载重配置为SCG分离承载和/或SCG承载重配置为MCG承载和/或SCG承载重配置为SCG分离承载和/或SCG承载重配置为MCG分离承载和/或SCG分离承载重配置为MCG承载和/或SCG分离承载重配置为SCG承载和/或SCG分离承载重配置为MCG分离承载和/或MCG分离承载重配置为MCG承载和/或MCG分离承载重配置为SCG承载和/或MCG分离承载重配置为SCG分离承载和/或重配置MCG承载和/或重配置SCG承载和/或重配置MCG分离承载和/或重配置SCG分离承载。
在步骤S630,根据承载重配置消息重配置承载。具体地,对于承载重配置消息中包含的承载标识drb-Identity,且承载标识对应的承载是UE已配置的承载,则执行以下步骤:
-UE中配置的承载标识drb-Identity对应的承载是MCG承载且承载重配置指示信元drb-TypeChangeLNA指示的重配置承载类型为MCG分离承载,则执行MCG承载重配置为MCG分离承载过程。

-UE中配置的承载标识drb-Identity对应的承载是SCG分离承载且承载重配置指示信元drb-TypeChangeLNA指示的重配置承载类型为MCG分离承载,则执行SCG分离承载重配置为MCG分离承载过程。
-UE中配置的承载标识drb-Identity对应的承载是MCG分离承载且承载重配置指示信元drb-TypeChangeLNA指示的重配置承载类型为SCG承载,则执行MCG分离承载重配置为SCG承载过程。

-UE中配置的承载标识drb-Identity对应的承载是MCG承载且承载重配置指示信元drb-TypeChangeLNA指示的重配置承载类型为MCG承载(或不含所述承载重配置指示信元),则执行MCG承载重配置过程。
-UE中配置的承载标识drb-Identity对应的承载是SCG承载且承载重配置指示信元drb-TypeChangeLNA指示的重配置承载类型为SCG承载(或不含所述承载重配置指示信元),则执行SCG承载重配置过程。
-UE中配置的承载标识drb-Identity对应的承载是MCG分离承载且承载重配置指示信元drb-TypeChangeLNA指示的重配置承载类型为MCG分离承载(或不含所述承载重配置指示信元),则执行MCG分离承载重配置过程。

需要说明的是,上述步骤不分先后顺序且都是可选的执行(只有定义了对应类型的承载重配置对应步骤才可能执行)。
区别双连接类型的方式
由于双连接分为X-X双连接(主基站和辅基站为同一类型的基站)和X-Y双连接(主基站和辅基站为不同类型的基站,又称为混合双连接),X和Y可以是eLTE eNB或LTE eNB或gNB。可以在DRB建立请求消息和/或DRB重配置消息中指明辅基站(或SCG或RAT)类型,DRB建立请求消息和/或DRB重配置消息可以为RRC重配置消息。
具体地,在一个实施例中,DRB建立请求消息和/或DRB重配置消息中包含承载类型指示信元(记为drb-TypeSCG),drb-TypeSCG用于指示所要建立或重配置的辅基站(或SCG或RAT或DRB)类型。在一个实施例中,承载类型指示信元drb-TypeSCG取值可以来自集合{LTE eNB、eLTE eNB、gNB}或{LTE SCG、eLTE SCG、NR SCG}或{LTE、eLTE、NR}或用两比特表示。在另一个实施例中,在UE已经确定主基站类型的情况下,混合双连接辅基站类型只能为另外两种基站之一。如果对于某种类型的主基站,混合双连接的辅基站类型只能是某种类型,当所述承载类型指示信元的值设置为“True”或“Setup”或“1”时,辅基站为对应类型基站的混合双连接;以及当所述承载类型指示信元的值设置为“False”或“Release”或“0”或所述指示不出现时,辅基站的类型与主基站相同。反之亦然。
UE可以根据drb-TypeSCG的取值确定辅基站(或SCG或RAT)类型;UE可以根据执行初始随机接入的基站类型确定主基站(或MCG或RAT)的类型。
在另一个实施例中,不同的类型的SCG(或SCell)包含在不同类型的信元中,UE根据所述接收到的信元来判断对应的SCG或SCell或SeNB类型。例如,在混合双连接中,辅基站为NR类型的小区包含在信元sCellToAddModListNR(用于指示增加/修改的SCG SCell列表)和/或sCellToAddModNR(用于指示增加/修改的SCG SCell的相关信息,如小区标识等)中,当UE接收到承载建立或重配置消息中包含sCellToAddModListNR和/或sCellToAddModNR,则UE确定SCG或SeNB或SCell的类型为NR。
在另一个实施例中,不同的SCG对应不同的配置信元,例如当SeNB 为NR时,对应的SCG配置信元记为scg-ConfigurationNR;当SeNB为LTE时,对应的SCG配置信元记为scg-ConfigurationLTE;当SeNB为eLTE时,对应的SCG配置信元记为scg-ConfigurationeLTE;UE可以根据所携带的SCG配置信元判断辅基站(或SCG或RAT)的类型,UE可以根据执行初始随机接入的基站类型确定主基站(或MCG或RAT)的类型。
在本申请实施例中,可以将不同的SCG配置信元统一表示为scg-Configuration。对于特定的双连接部署场景,根据SeNB的类型可以将scg-Configuration替换为对应类型的SCG配置信元。
以下采用类似LTE双连接中数据承载建立过程的描述方式描述LTE、eLTE、NR双连部署场景中MCG承载、SCG承载、MCG分离承载、SCG分离承载的建立和/或重配置过程。
首先,接收RB建立/重配置请求消息。承载建立/重配置请求消息用于建立/修改/重配置相应的承载。承载建立/重配置请求消息可以是LTE或eLTE或NR无线资源控制RRC重配置消息。这依赖于双连接部署场景:如果LTE为主基站,可以称为LTE RRC重配置消息;如果eLTE为主基站,可以称为eLTE RRC重配置消息;如果NR为主基站,可以称为NR RRC重配置消息。优选地,RRC重配置消息中可以包含来自两种或两种以上无线接入技术(RAT)的RRC重配置信息。
然后,根据DRB建立/重配置请求消息建立/修改/重配置对应的承载。
具体地,在一个实施例中,如果scg-configuration置为release且UE配置了一个或多个MCG分离DRB或SCG DRB或SCG分离DRB且接收到的DRB建立/重配置请求消息中包含drb-ToAddModList,执行以下步骤9001~9020所述的DRB的建立或修改或重配置过程。
如果scg-configuration置为release或DRB建立/重配置请求消息中包含改变SCG的指示(记为mobilityControlInfoSCG)但其中不包含切换指示(记为mobilityControlInfo),则对UE中每个配置的drb-Identity:
-如果对应的DRB是MCG分离DRB,则执行PDCP数据恢复和重建SCG RLC实体;
-如果对应的DRB是MCG DRB,且接收到drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中包含drb-Identity且对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为 drb-TypeChangeLN)指示SCG DRB,则重建PDCP实体和MCG RLC实体;
-如果对应的DRB是MCG DRB,且接收到drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中包含drb-Identity且对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeChangeLN)指示SCG分离DRB,则重建PDCP实体(或执行PDCP数据恢复)和/或重建MCG RLC实体;
-如果对应的DRB是SCG DRB,则重建PDCP实体和SCG RLC实体;如果对应的DRB是SCG分离DRB,则重建PDCP实体(或执行PDCP数据恢复)和重建SCG RLC实体。
本申请实施例中所述的重建PDCP实体和/或PDCP数据恢复过程至少包含以下操作之一(还可能包含其他操作):
-如果上层为对应的DRB配置发送PDCP状态报告,则生成所述PDCP状态报告并发送给下层作为第一个PDCP PDU进行传输;
-执行PDCP PDU的重传操作,所述PDCP PDU尚未被低层确认传输成功。
在一个实施例中,如果收到的DRB建立/重配置请求消息不是用于释放SCG(例如,scg-Configuration不置为release)且不包含指示SCG改变的信元(记为mobilityControlInfoSCG);更进一步,如果DRB建立/重配置请求消息中包含drb-ToAddModListSCG,对drb-ToAddModListSCG中包含的每个drb-Identity,执行以下步骤9001~9020所述的DRB的建立或修改或重配置过程:
步骤9001、如果drb-Identity在UE中未配置,则执行步骤9002;否则,执行步骤9005;
步骤9002、如果接收到的DRB建立/重配置请求消息中包含drb-ToAddModList且所述drb-Identity包含在drb-ToAddModList中。进一步的,在一个实施例中,如果所述RRC重配置消息中包含分离承载类型指示标识(记为drb-TypeSplit,每个DRB对应一个drb-TypeSplit),且所述指示标识指示建立MCG分离承载,则建立MCG分离DRB;否则,执行步骤9003a;在另一实施例中,根据PDCP-config包含在drb-ToAddModList还是drb-ToAddModListSCG中,判断分离承载类型。具体地,如果PDCP-config 包含在drb-ToAddModList中,则建立MCG分离DRB;否则,执行步骤9003b;
步骤9003a、如果接收到的DRB建立/重配置请求消息中包含drb-ToAddModList且所述drb-Identity包含在drb-ToAddModList中。进一步,如果所述RRC重配置消息中包含分离承载类型指示标识(记为drb-TypeSplit),所述指示标识指示建立SCG分离承载,则建立SCG分离DRB;否则,执行步骤9004;
步骤9003b、如果接收到的DRB建立/重配置请求消息中包含drb-ToAddModList且所述drb-Identity包含在drb-ToAddModList中。进一步,根据PDCP-config包含在drb-ToAddModList还是drb-ToAddModListSCG中,判断分离承载类型。具体地,如果PDCP-config包含在drb-ToAddModListSCG中,则建立SCG分离DRB;否则,执行步骤9004;
步骤9004、建立SCG承载
具体地,在一个实施例中,UE判断接收到的DRB建立/重配置请求消息中不包含drb-ToAddModList,或者虽然包含drb-ToAddModList,但所述drb-Identity不包含在drb-ToAddModList中,或者RRC重配置消息中包含分离承载类型指示标识(记为drb-TypeSplit),所述指示标识指示建立SCG承载,则建立SCG承载。步骤9005、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList和/或drb-ToAddModListSCG,执行步骤9006;
步骤9006、如果drb-Identity指示的DRB是MCG分离DRB,执行步骤9007;否则,执行步骤9010;
步骤9007、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList且其中包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeLN);如果所述承载重配置指示标识指示为MCG DRB,执行重配置MCG分离DRB为MCG DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9008;
步骤9008、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList和drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中均包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeLN和/或drb-TypeChangeLN,两者可以采用同一个信元表示,drb-TypeLN包含在drb-ToAddModList中,drb-TypeChangeLN包含在drb-ToAddModListSCG中,在DRB建立/重配置请求消息可以仅包含一个或两个均包含,如果两个均包含,则两者指示同一种DRB。下同);如果承载重配置指示标识指示为SCG分离DRB,执行重配置MCG分离DRB为SCG 分离DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9009;
步骤9009、如果接收到drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeChangeLN);如果所述承载重配置指示标识指示为SCG DRB,执行重配置MCG分离DRB为SCG DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9010;
步骤9010、执行重配置MCG分离DRB过程;
步骤9011、如果drb-Identity指示的DRB是SCG分离DRB,执行步骤9012;否则,执行步骤9016;
步骤9012、如果接收到drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeChangeLN);如果承载重配置指示标识指示为SCG DRB,执行重配置SCG分离DRB为SCG DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9013;
步骤9013、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList且其中包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeLN);如果承载重配置指示标识指示为MCG DRB,执行重配置SCG分离DRB为MCG DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9014;
步骤9014、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList和drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中均包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeLN和/或drb-TypeChangeLN);如果承载重配置指示标识指示为MCG分离DRB,执行重配置SCG分离DRB为MCG分离DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9015;
步骤9015、执行重配置SCG分离DRB过程;
步骤9016、如果drb-Identity指示的DRB是SCG DRB,执行步骤9017;
步骤9017、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList和drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中均包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeLN和/或drb-TypeChangeLN);如果承载重配置指示标识指示为SCG分离DRB,执行重配置SCG DRB为SCG分离DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9018;
步骤9018、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList且其中包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeLN);如果承载重配置指示标识指示为MCG DRB,执行重配置SCG DRB为MCG DRB过程;否则,执 行步骤9019;
步骤9019、如果接收到drb-ToAddModList和drb-ToAddModListSCG且其中均包含drb-Identity且包含对应的承载重配置指示标识(记为drb-TypeLN和/或drb-TypeChangeLN);如果承载重配置指示标识指示为MCG分离DRB,执行重配置SCG DRB为MCG分离DRB过程;否则,执行步骤9020;
步骤9020、执行重配置SCG DRB过程;
可选的,向上层指示步骤9002或9003或9004中所建立的DRB及其标识。
可选的,在执行上述步骤前,UE还需要根据DRB建立/重配置请求消息消息携带的信元按照区别双连接类型的方式确定SeNB类型。
步骤9002~9004描述了承载建立过程。步骤9005~9020描述了承载修改/重配置过程。
步骤9007~9009和/或9012~9014和/或9017~9019也可以不根据承载重配置指示标识来确定DRB类型,而是根据PDCP的配置信元pdcp-Config是位于drb-ToAddModList还是drb-ToAddModListSCG来确定DRB类型。如果pdcp-Config是位于drb-ToAddModList,则为MCG分离DRB;如果pdcp-Config是位于drb-ToAddModListSCG,则为SCG分离DRB。
需要说明的是,上述步骤9001~9020只有在对应的双连接部署场景支持对应的承载类型和承载重配置类型时才可能执行,例如,如果某种双连接部署不支持重配置MCG分离DRB为SCG DRB时,则不执行步骤9009。步骤9002和步骤9004中所述分离承载类型指示标识drb-TypeSplit的取值说明:在一个实施例中,当所述指示标识的值设置为“True”或“Setup”或“1”或“MCGSplit”时,对应的MCG分离承载;以及当所述指示的值设置为“False”或“Release”或“0”或“SCGSplit”或所述指示不出现时,对应的SCG分离承载。反之亦然。此外,步骤9001~9020只是一种示例执行顺序,按照其他顺序执行也在本申请范围内。
需要说明的是,根据具体的双连接场景中SCG或SeNB的类型,本申请实施例中涉及的scg-Configuration可以记为scg-ConfigurationNR或scg-ConfigurationLTE或scg-ConfigurationeLTE(具体类型依赖于SeNB的类型)。
图7示出了根据本申请另一个实施例的用于建立/重配置数据承载的方法的流程图。如图7所示,方法700在步骤S710处开始。在步骤S720,发送数据承载建立/重配置请求消息。该请求消息可以包括数据承载标识和承载类型指示信元。其中,数据承载标识用于标识数据承载,而承载类型指示信元用于指示要建立的/要重配置的数据承载的类型。在步骤S730,使用建立/重配置的相应数据承载进行通信。最后,方法700在步骤S740处结束。
