具体实施方式
下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开进行详细阐述。应当注意,本公开不应局限于下文所述的具体实施方式。另外,为了简便起见,省略了对与本公开没有直接关联的公知技术的详细描述,以防止对本公开的理解造成混淆。
在现有的LTE系统中,为了保证LTE用户设备(UE)的正常接入,基站(eNB)会周期性地广播接入层以及非接入层的信息,统称为系统信息。目前LTE系统下,系统信息分为一个主系统信息块MasterInformationBlock(MIB)和若干个系统信息块SystemInformationBlocks(SIBs),用来承载不同的 内容。截止目前为止LTE定义的SIB多达20种。MIB上携带了用于获取小区的基本信息的必需的以及最频繁发送的参数,SIB1中包含用来判断某小区是否适合用于小区选择的参数以及其他SIB的时域调度信息。MIB和SIB1在预定义的时间周期内发送。其他具有相同调度周期的SIB会被安排在同一个系统信息消息(System Information Message,称为SI消息)中并按照SIB1中携带的时域调度信息在对应的系统信息窗SI-window内周期性发送。除了MIB和SIB1外,并不是所有SIB都需要被广播。eNB根据当前接入网设备支持的特性,以及非接入层的特性,选择与特性相关的系统信息块进行广播。例如,当前接入网支持增强的接入准入控制(Enhanced Access Control),则eNB会广播SIB14,里面携带EAB的相关信息,反之,则不广播。如果当前接入网支持MBMS(Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,多媒体广播多播业务),则eNB会广播SIB13等。这些被广播的SIB都会在SIB1携带的调度信息中反映,没有调度的SIB即不被广播。UE在发起接入前,除了MIB和SIB1是必须获取的,还需要根据自身特性获得其他的SIB,然后再发起接入。例如,如果UE支持多制式,还需要读取SIB8以获取异制式相关的小区重选信息,反之,则不需要;如果UE支持WLAN的互操作,还需要获取SIB17等,反之,则不需要。
在3GPP RAN2 95次会议上,达成将NR系统信息分成两类,一类是周期性广播的系统信息(称为最小系统信息,Minimum SI),这类系统信息中可以包含最重要的或获取其他系统信息所必需的或为绝大多数UE所需的系统信息,例如UE随机接入前所必需获取的参数。另一类是不包含在最小系统信息中的系统信息(称为其他系统信息,other SI)。所述其他系统信息可以不周期性广播,而是在UE请求时或网络决定发送时才发送。
如图1所示,现有的随机接入过程包含以下四个步骤:(1)发送选定的前导序列(preamble);(2)接收随机接入应答RAR;(3)发送消息3(即Message 3);(4)接收竞争解决消息。根据UE当前状态,消息3的内容不同,消息3可以包含小区无线网络临时标识符(C-RNTI)媒体访问入控制(MAC)控制单元(CE)或公共控制信道(CCCH)服务数据单元(SDU)。 如果是基于非竞争的随机接入过程,则仅包含前个步骤。如果是基于竞争的随机接入过程,则包含所述全部四个步骤。
UE可以通过随机接入过程请求其他系统信息。目前部分公司主张通过随机接入过程步骤(1)请求系统信息,即为不同的其他系统信息(或系统信息块)定义不同的前导序列,UE通过发送对应的前导序列来请求相关的其他系统信息。还有些公司主张通过随机接入过程步骤(3)请求系统信息,即在消息3中携带UE所要请求的系统信息类型(或系统信息块类型)。
现有的LTE系统规定,在一个MAC实体中,每个时刻只能执行一个随机接入过程。如果UE采用随机接入过程来请求系统信息,那么有可能与其他事件触发的随机接入过程发生冲突。所述冲突可以发生在随机接入过程步骤(1)或步骤(3)。如何解决由请求其他系统信息触发的随机接入过程与其他事件触发的随机接入过程之间的冲突是需要解决的问题。
下面描述本公开中用到的术语,除特别说明外,本公开涉及的术语都采用此处定义。
RRC:Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制;
MAC:Medium Access Control,媒体访问控制;
CCCH:Common Control Channel,公共控制信道,所述信道可以用于在UE和基站间还未确定关联时(例如在建立RRC连接过程中)发送控制信息的上行或下行信道;
UL-SCH:Uplink Shared Channel,上行共享信道;所述信道具有以下一项或多项特征:可能使用波束赋形(即beamforming)、通过变换发送功率、调制和编码支持动态链路自适应、支持HARQ、支持动态和半静态资源分配;
SDU:Service Data Unit,服务数据单元;
RRC连接请求消息:RRCConnectionRequest,用于请求建立RRC连接的消息;
RRC连接重建请求消息:rrcConnectionReestablishmentRequest,用于请求重建RRC连接的消息;
RRC连接恢复请求消息:RRCConnectionResumeRequest,用于请求恢 复被挂起的RRC连接的消息;
RRC连接态:RRC_CONNECTED,当RRC连接建立后,UE处于RRC_CONNECTED状态;
RRC非激活态:RRC_INACTIVE,在此状态下,至少一个基站(记为eNB)保存UE的接入层上下文(AS Context)信息,且可以保持5G-RAN和5G-CN(即5G-RAN所连接的核心网)间的连接;
RRC空闲态:RRC_IDLE,没有建立RRC连接(和/或UE不处于RRC_INACTIVE态或基站或5G-RAN或EUTRAN中未保存用户上下文信息)时,UE处于RRC_IDLE态;
PDCCH order:对应某种特定格式的DCI(例如DCI format 1A)且用于触发随机接入过程,所述DCI中携带用于随机接入的相关参数;
Msg3:随机接入消息3,所述消息随机接入过程的一部分,是UE发送给基站的消息。根据UE当前状态,消息3的内容可能不同。消息3来自上层或RRC层,可以包含C-RNTI MAC CE或CCCH SDU和/或UE冲突解决标识且在上行共享信道UL-SCH上传输。
当采用4步方式执行随机接入时,消息3为随机接入的第三步所发送的消息;当采用2步方式执行随机接入时,消息3在随机接入第一步发送。所述4步方式执行随机接入是指在包含4个步骤的随机接入:第一步中UE向基站发送前导序列;第二步UE接收来自基站的随机接入应答RAR;第三步UE向基站发送消息3;第四步UE接收来自基站的用于竞争解决的消息4,根据消息3所携带的内容不同,消息4也不同。需要说明的是,如果是基于非竞争的随机接入,则不需要用于竞争解决的消息3和消息4。所述2步方式执行随机接入是指在包含2个步骤的随机接入:在第一步中UE向基站发送前导序列和4步方式执行随机接入消息3中携带的全部或部分信息,还可以发送其他未携带在消息3中的信息;在第二步中,UE接收来自基站的应答。
本发明中所述消息3可以指4步随机接入中步骤3所发送的消息,也可以指2步随机接入中步骤2所发送的消息。本公开以4步随机接入方式请求系统信息为例进行描述,本公开也适用于2步随机接入方式请求系统信息。
本公开将随机接入分为两类:一类是请求系统信息触发的随机接入,此类随机接入是由于上层(例如RRC层)请求其他系统信息触发的,在本公开中称之为请求系统信息随机接入;另一类是除此之外的其他事件触发的随机接入,在本公开中称之为一般随机接入。本公开的实施例也适用于其他命名方式。本公开将请求其他系统信息的消息称为系统信息请求消息。本公开将包含系统信息请求消息对应的CCCH SDU的消息也称为消息3,但是本公开也适用于采用其他命名方式。
下面先介绍UE请求其他系统信息可以采用的三种方式:
方式一:将不同的其他系统信息映射到不同的前导序列,UE通过发送对应的前导序列来请求相关的其他系统信息。例如,处于不同状态的UE所需要的系统信息可能不同。根据UE在不同状态所需要的系统信息,将其他系统信息进行分类,并定义(或关联)对应的前导序列(或前导序列组)。目前,NR系统中UE状态可以是RRC连接态,RRC空闲态,RRC非激活态。相应地,可以将其他系统信息按照UE在相应状态所需要的系统信息分类(不同状态可能对应部分相同的其他系统信息)。UE根据其所属状态选择对应的前导序列发送,基站根据接收到的前导序列发送对应的其他系统信息。也可以按照LTE类似的方式,将系统信息分组得到系统信息块,为每个系统信息块(或系统信息块组)预留一个前导序列或一组前导序列。在这种方式中,随机接入冲突可能发生在随机接入步骤(1)(如图1所示)中选择要发送的前导序列过程。
方式二:预留一个或一组前导序列用于请求其他系统信息,但UE请求的其他系统信息类型在随机接入消息3中指示。如果响应于请求其他系统信息前导序列的RAR消息和响应于一般随机接入过程前导序列的RAR消息相同,则随机接入冲突可能发生在随机接入步骤(1)选择要发送的前导序列过程或者在随机接入消息3中确定携带来自不同CCCH的CCCH SDU或用于不同目的的CCCH SDU或包含不同RRC消息的CCCH SDU。
如果响应于请求其他系统信息的RAR消息和响应于现有LTE(或一般或其他)随机接入过程的RAR消息不相同,则随机接入冲突可能发生在随机接入步骤(1)选择要发送的前导序列过程。
方式三:与现有LTE(或一般或其他)随机接入过程共享前导序列,UE请求的其他系统信息类型在随机接入消息3中指示。如果响应于请求其 他系统信息的RAR消息和响应于一般随机接入过程的RAR消息不相同,则在这种方式中,随机接入冲突可能发生在随机接入步骤(1)选择要发送的前导序列过程。在这种方式中,随机接入冲突可能发生在消息3中确定携带来自不同CCCH的CCCH SDU或用于不同目的的CCCH SDU中的哪一个。
根据本公开,基于请求系统信息的不同方式,如果冲突发生在随机接入步骤(1)选择要发送的前导序列过程(即确定选择哪个前导序列发送),可以预定义或通过RRC信令配置由请求系统信息(或请求系统信息消息)触发的随机接入和由其他事件触发的随机接入间的优先级。MAC实体基于所述优先级,在发生冲突时,可以选择优先级高的事件对应的前导序列进行发送。如果冲突发生在随机接入消息3(即确定在消息3中包含哪种消息或CCCH SDU或数据),可以预定义或通过RRC信令配置请求系统信息消息(或所述消息对应的CCCH SDU)和其他RRC消息(或所述消息对应的CCCH SDU)或数据或所述消息对应的逻辑信道间的优先级。所述其他RRC消息(称为专用RRC消息)包括RRC连接请求消息、RRC连接重建请求消息、RRC连接恢复请求消息等。MAC实体基于所述优先级,在发生冲突时,在随机接入消息3中优先包含优先级高的RRC消息或所述消息对应的CCCH SDU或数据。
下面将介绍根据本公开实施例的用户设备UE中的各种方法,用于解决由请求其他系统信息触发的随机接入过程与其他事件触发的随机接入过程导致的冲突。
图2示出了根据本公开实施例的用户设备UE中的方法200的流程图。
如图所示,在步骤S210,用户设备UE创建具有不同优先级的第一公共控制信道CCCH和第二公共控制信道CCCH分别用于传输专用无线资源控制RRC消息和系统信息请求消息,所述系统信息请求消息用于请求最小系统信息以外的系统信息。
在步骤S230,用户设备UE根据第一CCCH和第二CCCH的优先级,确定在随机接入消息3‘Msg3’中包含第一CCCH和第二CCCH中的哪一 个CCCH所对应的CCCH服务数据单元SDU或者将第一CCCH和第二CCCH的CCCH SDU都包含在随机接入消息3‘Msg3’中。
在步骤S250,用户设备UE将随机接入消息3‘Msg3’发送到基站(或将消息3递交给下层或物理层或传输信道UL-SCH以发送给基站)。
例如,专用RRC消息包括以下一个或多个:RRC连接请求消息、RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息。
图3示出了根据本公开实施例的用户设备UE中的方法300的流程图。
如图所示,在步骤S310,用户设备UE创建第一CCCH和第二CCCH用于以不同的优先级分别传输专用RRC消息和请求系统信息消息。
在步骤S330,用户设备UE选择与第一CCCH和第二CCCH中优先级较高的CCCH所对应的前导序列。
在步骤S350,用户设备UE将所选择的前导序列发送到基站(或将消息3递交给下层或物理层或传输信道UL-SCH以发送给基站)。
例如,专用RRC消息包括以下一个或多个:RRC连接请求消息、RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息。
在一个实现方式中,第一CCCH的优先级高于第二CCCH的优选级。在这种情况下,步骤S330可以包括:当第一CCCH和第二CCCH均有待发送的CCCH SDU时,从第一CCCH对应的前导序列中选择一个前导序列。
在另一个实现方式中,第二CCCH的优先级高于第一CCCH的优选级。在这种情况下,步骤S330可以包括:当第一CCCH和第二CCCH均有待发送的CCCH SDU时,从第二CCCH对应的前导序列中选择一个前导序列。
需要说明的是,如果两者共享相同的前导序列或前导序列组,当第一CCCH和第二CCCH均有CCCH SDU待发送,则UE根据预定义的规则选择一个前导序列,例如根据消息3的大小选择前导序列。此时,UE在消息3中包含优先级高的那个CCCH对应的CCCH SDU。即UE在构建消息3时,先判断优先级高的CCCH是否有CCCH SDU待发送,如果是,则在消息3中包含所述优先级高的CCCH SDU。
图4示出了根据本公开实施例的用户设备UE中的方法400的流程图。
如图所示,在步骤S410,用户设备UE确定传输系统信息请求消息和专用RRC消息的优先级,所述系统信息请求消息用于请求最小系统信息以 外的系统信息。
在步骤S430,根据所述优先级,在由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入与由专用RRC消息触发的随机接入发生冲突时,选择系统信息请求消息和专用RRC消息中优先级高的消息所对应的前导序列。
在步骤S450,用户设备UE将所选择的前导序列发送到基站。
在一个实现方式中,如果请求系统信息消息的优先级低于专用RRC消息的优先级,并且如果请求系统信息的RRC过程被触发(即要构建及发送系统信息请求消息),则方法400还可以包括如图5所示的步骤S420、S421和S422。
在步骤S420,用户设备UE判断是否有请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程被触发或正在执行(即有专用RRC消息待发送或已发送但未收到应答消息)。本公开中所述的请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程包括以下过程的一个或多个:RRC连接建立过程、RRC连接恢复过程和RRC连接重建过程等。
如果是,则在步骤S421,用户设备UE等待被触发或正在执行的其他RRC过程结束,然后再启动请求系统信息的RRC过程。或者,用户设备UE可以终止请求系统信息的RRC过程。
如果否,则在步骤S422,用户设备UE执行请求系统信息的RRC过程。
在另一个实现方式中,如果请求系统信息消息的优先级低于专用RRC消息的优先级,并且如果请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程被触发,则方法400还可以包括如图6所示的步骤S423、S424和S425。
在步骤S423,用户设备UE判断是否有请求系统信息的RRC过程正在执行。
如果是,则在步骤S424,用户设备UE终止正在执行的请求系统信息的RRC过程,并执行请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程,以及在请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程结束之后,重新启动请求系统信息的RRC过程。
如果否,则在步骤S425,用户设备UE执行所述被触发的请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程。
在又一个实现方式中,如果请求系统信息消息的优先级高于专用RRC消息的优先级,并且如果请求系统信息的RRC过程被触发,则方法400可 以包括如图7所示的步骤S440、S441和S442。
在步骤S440,用户设备UE判断是否有请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程被触发或正在执行。
如果是,则在步骤S441,用户设备UE终止正在执行的请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程,并执行请求系统信息的RRC过程。
如果否,则在步骤S442,用户设备UE执行请求系统信息的RRC过程。
在再一个实现方式中,如果请求系统信息消息的优先级高于专用RRC消息的优先级,并且如果请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程被触发,则方法400可以包括如图8所示的步骤S443和S444和S445。
在步骤S443,用户设备UE判断是否有请求系统信息的RRC过程被触发或正在执行。
如果是,则在步骤S444,用户设备UE等待所述被触发或正在执行的请求系统信息的RRC过程结束,然后启动请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程。或者,用户设备UE也可以终止请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程。
否则,在步骤S445,用户设备UE执行所述被触发的请求系统信息的RRC过程以外的其他RRC过程。
图9示出了根据本公开实施例的用户设备UE中的方法900的流程图。
如图所示,在步骤S910,用户设备UE确定由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入与由其他事件(例如上层或专用RRC消息、MAC层本身、PDCCH order等)触发的随机接入的优先级或确定不同事件(例如,请求系统信息、专用RRC消息、MAC层本身、PDCCH order等)触发的随机接入对应前导序列的优先级,所述系统信息请求消息用于请求最小系统信息以外的系统信息。
在步骤S930,在由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入与由其他事件触发的随机接入发生冲突时,选择优先级较高的随机接入所对应的前导序列或选择优先级较高的前导序列。
在步骤S950,用户设备UE将所选择的前导序列发送到基站。
在一个实现方式中,如果由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入或对应的前导序列高于由其他事件触发的随机接入或对应的前导序列的优先级, 则方法900还可以包括如图10所示的步骤S920和S921。
在步骤S920,用户设备UE判断是否存在由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入对应的前导序列待发送。
如果是,则在步骤S921,选择由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入所对应的前导序列。如果否,则方法900返回到步骤S920。
如图11所示,如果请求系统信息的随机接入被触发,方法900还可选地进一步包括步骤S922、S923、S924和S925。
在步骤S922,用户设备UE判断是否有正在执行的由其他事件触发的随机接入。
如果是,则在步骤S923,用户设备UE中断当前正在执行的由其他随机接入触发消息触发的随机接入,并在步骤S924选择由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入所对应的前导序列。
如果否,则在步骤S925,选择由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入所对应的前导序列。
在另一实现方式中,如果由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入低于由其他事件触发的随机接入的优先级,则方法900还可以包括如图12所示的步骤S940和S941。
在步骤S940,用户设备UE判断是否存在由其他事件触发的随机接入。
如果是,则在步骤S941,选择由其他事件触发的随机接入所对应的前导序列。如果否,则方法900可以返回步骤S940。
如图13所示,方法900还可选地进一步包括步骤S942、S943和S944。
在步骤S942,用户设备UE判断是否有正在执行的由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入。
如果是,则在步骤S943中断当前正在执行的由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入,并在步骤S944选择由其他事件触发的随机接入所对应的前导序列。
否则,在步骤S944,选择由其他事件触发的随机接入所对应的前导序列。
图14示出了根据本公开实施例的用户设备UE中的方法1400的流程图。
如图所示,在步骤S1410,用户设备UE确定由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入与由其他事件触发的随机接入的优先级,所述系统信息请求消息用于请求最小系统信息以外的系统信息。
在步骤S1430,在由请求系统信息消息触发的随机接入与由其他事件触发的随机接入发生冲突时,选择优先级较高的随机接入所对应的消息。
在步骤S1450,用户设备UE通过在随机接入消息3‘Msg3’中包含所选择的消息,将所选择的消息发送到基站。
下面将基于冲突发生的场景,具体介绍UE解决冲突的不同方式。
场景一:冲突发生在RRC层
如果UE通过发送不同的前导序列来请求不同的其他系统信息,则RRC层(或称高层)将根据需要请求的系统信息选择对应的前导序列,并将所述前导序列递交或指示给下层(或MAC层)进行发送。具体过程如下:
由于业务需要或因系统信息到期,NAS层(或称高层)或RRC层触发UE请求系统信息过程。如果目前没有其他正在执行的RRC过程(包括但不限于RRC连接建立,RRC连接重建,RRC连接恢复)或CCCH逻辑信道中没有待发送的CCCH SDU,根据UE请求其他系统信息的不同方式,UE可以执行以下两个实施例之一:
在一个实施例中,UE根据需要请求的系统信息选择对应的前导序列,将所述前导序列递交给下层(或MAC层)。
在另一个实施例中,UE根据需要请求的系统信息构建系统信息请求消息,将所述系统信息请求消息递交给下层进行传输。
可以预定义或通过RRC信令配置用于请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(或系统信息请求消息)与其他RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程(或RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息)的优先级。
在一个实施例中,假设请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(或系统信息请求消息)的优先级低于正在执行的其他RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程(或RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息)。如果NAS层或高层或RRC层触发系统信息请求过程,UE判断是否有其他 RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程被触发或正在执行(即RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息待发送或已发送但未接收到应答消息);如果是,UE可以等待所述被触发或正在执行的其他RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程结束,再启动请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(即构建并发送系统信息请求消息或将系统信息请求消息递交给下层);或者UE也可以终止请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(即丢弃系统信息请求消息);如果否,UE可以构建系统信息请求消息并递交给下层进行发送。如果RRC连接建立过程或其他RRC过程被触发,UE判断是否有正在执行请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(例如,系统信息请求消息待发送或已发送但未接收到应答消息);如果是,UE可以终止正在执行的系统信息请求的RRC过程(例如,丢弃或删除尚未发送的系统信息请求消息或如果所述消息已发送但尚未接收到应答消息,则不再接收应答消息)并执行所述优先级更高的RRC过程。待优先级更高的RRC过程结束后,可以重新启动请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(即发送系统信息请求消息或将系统信息请求消息递交给下层);如果否,UE可以构建相应的消息并递交给下层进行发送(例如,构建并发送RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息并将所述消息递交给下层进行发送)。
假设请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(或系统信息请求消息)的优先级高于正在执行的其他RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程(或RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息)。如果NAS层或高层或RRC层触发系统信息请求过程,UE判断是否有其他RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程被触发或正在执行;如果是,则UE可以终止正在执行的其他RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程(例如,丢弃或删除尚未发送的RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息)并执行请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(即发送系统信息请求消息或将系统信息请求消息递交给下层)(所述终止的RRC过程可以等请求系统信息过程结束后再重新启动);如果否,UE可以构建系统信息请求消息并递交给下层进行发送。如果RRC连接建立过程或其他RRC过程被触发,UE判断是否有请求系统信息过程被触发或正在执行请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(例如,系统信息请求消息待发送或已发送但未接收到应答消息);如果是,UE可以等待所述被触发或正在执行的请求系统信息过程结束,再启动其他 RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程(即构建并发送RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息并将所述消息递交给下层进行发送);或者UE也可以终止RRC连接建立过程或其他RRC过程(例如,丢弃或删除尚未发送的RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息);如果否,UE可以启动其他RRC过程或RRC连接建立过程(即构建并发送RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息并将所述消息递交给下层进行发送)。
需要说明的是,本公开中所述终止正在执行的RRC过程(其中包括请求系统信息过程,RRC连接建立过程等)或启动或重新启动一个RRC过程还可以包括重配置物理信道和/或重配置半静态调度配置和/或重配置MAC主配置和/或重配置CCCH逻辑信道实现。所述重配置可以是重新应用缺省配置。本公开中的RRC连接建立过程可以是RRC连接请求消息,RRC连接重建请求消息,RRC连接恢复请求消息对应的RRC连接建立过程。
在另一个实施例中,定义不同于第一CCCH逻辑信道的第二CCCH逻辑信道。所述第一CCCH逻辑信道(含上行和下行CCCH逻辑信道)用于传输RRC连接请求消息、RRC连接重建请求消息、RRC连接恢复请求消息(所述消息在上行CCCH逻辑信道传输)及相应的应答消息(所述消息在下行CCCH逻辑信道传输)等。所述第二CCCH逻辑信道(含上行和/或下行CCCH逻辑信道)用于传输系统信息请求消息(所述消息在上行CCCH逻辑信道中传输)和/或相应的应答消息(所述消息在下行CCCH逻辑信道中传输)。也可以不单独定义用于第二下行CCCH逻辑信道,而是采用已有的下行逻辑信道,例如,第一下行CCCH逻辑信道。所述第二CCCH逻辑信道的部分参数不同于第一CCCH逻辑信道。例如,所述第二CCCH逻辑信道的优先级定义为不同于第一CCCH逻辑的值(例如,为2或其他值),和/或所述第二CCCH逻辑信道的逻辑信道群标识(logicalChannelGroup)定义为不同于第一CCCH逻辑的逻辑信道群标识的值(例如,为1或其他值)。
在本实施例中,当UE需要请求其他系统信息或建立RRC连接过程时,可以构建相应的系统信息请求消息或RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息并递交给下层进行传输。如果由系统信 息请求消息(即第二CCCH逻辑信道)或其他RRC消息(即第一CCCH逻辑信道)触发的随机接入过程共享前导序列集,则MAC实体可以基于逻辑信道的优先级和/或逻辑信道群标识决定在消息3中包含哪个CCCH逻辑信道对应的CCCH SDU或将所有CCCH逻辑信道的CCCH SDU都包含在消息3中。如果由系统信息请求消息(即第二CCCH逻辑信道对应的CCCH SDU)或其他RRC消息(即第一CCCH逻辑信道对应的CCCH SDU)触发的随机接入过程采用不同的前导序列,则MAC实体可以基于逻辑信道的优先级和/或逻辑信道群标识选择相应的前导序列并递交给下层发送。例如,如果第一CCCH逻辑信道(或RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息或第一CCCH逻辑信道对应的CCCH SDU)的优先级高于第二CCCH逻辑信道(或系统信息请求消息或第二CCCH逻辑信道对应的CCCH SDU)的优先级,则当第一CCCH逻辑信道和第二CCCH逻辑信道均有待发送的CCCH SDU,MAC实体从第一CCCH逻辑信道对应的前导序列中选择一个前导序列并递交给下层发送。反之亦然。
可选的,对于处于RRC空闲态的UE,在执行请求其他系统信息的RRC过程(将其他系统信息请求消息递交到下层进行传输前)还需要执行以下步骤中的一步或多步:
(a)应用缺省的物理信道配置(预定义参数值);
(b)应用缺省的半静态调度配置(预定义参数值);
(c)应用确省的MAC主配置(预定义参数值);
(d)应用第二CCCH逻辑信道配置(预定义参数值);
第一CCCH逻辑信道对应的的物理信道配置和/或半静态调度配置和/或MAC主配置可以与第二CCCH逻辑信道对应的配置相同。当第一CCCH逻辑信道对应的CCCH SDU尚未发送,请求其他系统信息过程被触发(即系统信息请求消息待发送),UE可以只执行上述步骤中与第二CCCH逻辑信道配置不同步骤,例如只执行步骤(d);反之,当第二CCCH逻辑信道对应的CCCH SDU尚未发送,而建立RRC连接过程被触发(如RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息等等待发送),UE也可以仅应用与第一CCCH逻辑信道配置不同的配置,而不需要重新配置物理信道和/或半静态调度和/或MAC。
在又一个实施例中,根据触发UE请求系统信息的不同条件,定义请求 系统信息消息与其他RRC消息间的优先级。所述其他RRC消息可以包括:RRC连接请求消息、RRC连接重建请求消息、RRC连接恢复请求消息、RRC连接重配置完成消息。例如如果是由于本地存储的系统信息到期而触发的UE发送系统信息请求消息(即启动系统信息请求过程),则所述系统信息请求消息的优先级最高,即当因系统信息到期而触发发送系统信息请求消息时,如果有其他等待发送或已经发送但未接收到应答消息的RRC消息,取消(或暂停发送)其他RRC消息或终止(或挂起)其他RRC消息对应的RRC过程;如果其他RRC消息已经发送但未接收到应答消息,则不接收应答消息。将系统信息请求消息递交给下层。
可选的,还可以根据触发UE请求系统信息的条件及请求系统信息的类型,定义请求系统信息消息与其他RRC消息间的优先级。
可选的,也可以仅根据需要获取的系统信息的类型,定义请求系统信息消息与其他RRC消息间的优先级。部分类型的系统信息优先级高于其他RRC消息,另一部分的系统信息优先级低于低于其他RRC消息。
可选的,还可以定义不同类型的系统信息间的优先级或不同类型系统信息对应的前导序列优先级,当要求请求多种类型的系统信息时,优先请求优先级高的系统信息。
场景二:冲突发生在MAC层
根据请求系统信息的不同方式,MAC层的冲突分为以下几种类型:
类型一:请求系统信息随机接入与基于竞争的随机接入发生冲突
所述基于竞争的随机接入前导序列是由MAC层选择的前导序列,基于竞争的随机接入可以包含由以下事件触发的随机接入:
A.由MAC子层本身触发的随机接入;
B.由PDCCH order触发或由切换触发或携带切换指示信元(记为mobilityControlInfo)的RRC连接重配置消息触发等,且前导序列值为000000或为其他用于指示MAC需要选择前导序列的值。
以下以由MAC子层本身触发的随机接入为例进行说明,所述实施例也适用于其他事件触发的基于竞争的随机接入。
在一个实施例中,如果为请求系统信息预留了一个或多个前导序列,即用于请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列不同于一般随机接入的前导序 列。MAC层基于预定义或通过RRC信令配置的优先级选择相应的前导序列进行发送。例如,如果预定义请求系统信息随机接入的优先级高于MAC子层触发的随机接入或一般随机接入,则在发生所述冲突时,MAC选择预留给请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列并指示物理层发送,即MAC实体在选择用于随机接入的前导序列时,先判断是否存在请求系统信息随机接入或请求系统信息对应的前导序列待发送,如果是,则选择用于请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列并指示物理层发送;或者当请求系统信息随机接入被触发或请求系统信息对应的前导序列待发送时,如果有正在执行的MAC子层触发的随机接入或一般随机接入,UE可以中断当前正在执行的MAC子层触发的随机接入或一般随机接入,并开始执行请求系统信息随机接入或发送请求系统信息对应的前导序列待;如果预定义请求系统信息随机接入的优先级低于MAC子层触发的随机接入或一般随机接入,则在发生所述冲突时,MAC选择用于一般随机接入的前导序列并指示物理层发送,即MAC实体在选择用于随机接入的前导序列时,先判断是否存在MAC子层触发的随机接入或一般随机接入,如果是,则选择用于一般随机接入的前导序列并指示物理层发送;或者如果有正在执行的请求系统信息随机接入,当MAC子层触发的随机接入或一般随机接入被触发,UE中断当前正在执行的请求系统信息随机接入,并开始执行MAC子层触发的随机接入或一般随机接入或选择一般随机接入前导序列并指示物理层发送。
在另一个实施例中,请求系统信息随机接入与一般随机接入使用相同的前导序列。例如,请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列是一般随机接入基于竞争的前导序列集。MAC实体从一般随机接入的前导序列集中选择一个前导序列并指示物理层发送,此时MAC实体在消息3中解决冲突。预定义或通过RRC信令配置其他系统信息请求消息(即请求系统信息消息对应的CCCH SDU或第二CCCH SDU)与其他RRC消息(例如RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息对应的CCCH SDU或第一CCCH SDU)或数据的优先级,MAC实体基于所述预定义的优先级将优先级高的消息或数据包含在消息3中;或者如果消息3中可以容纳多条消息或数据,可以将按照优先级由高到低依次将所述消息或数据包含在消息3中。例如,假设其他系统信息请求消息高于其他消息或数据,MAC在构建消息3时,先判断是否有请求其他系统信息请求消息对应的CCCH  SDU待发送,如果是,则将其包含在消息3中。在类型三对应的实施例中描述了如何根据不同消息的优先级构建消息3。
类型二:请求系统信息随机接入与基于非竞争的随机接入发生冲突
所述基于非竞争的随机接入可以包括由PDCCH order触发的随机接入和/或由切换触发的随机接入等,所述随机接入对应的前导序列显式指定且不为0000000或其他用于指示MAC需要选择前导序列的值(即前导序列不是由MAC实体选择)。以下实施例以由PDCCH order触发的基于非竞争的随机接入为例,所述实施例也适用于由其他事件触发的基于非竞争的随机接入。
在一个实施例中,如果为请求系统信息预留了一个或多个前导序列,即用于请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列不同于一般随机接入的前导序列。在发生冲突时,MAC层基于预定义或通过RRC信令配置的优先级选择相应的前导序列并指示物理层进行发送。例如,如果规定请求系统信息随机接入的优先级高于PDCCH order触发的随机接入,则在发生所述冲突时,MAC选择预留给请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列并指示物理层进行发送,即MAC实体在选择用于随机接入的前导序列时,先判断是否存在请求系统信息随机接入或用于请求系统信息的前导序列待发送,如果是,则选择用于请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列并指示物理层发送;或者如果正在执行PDCCH order触发的随机接入时,请求系统信息随机接入被触发或请求系统信息前导序列待发送,UE中断当前正在执行的PDCCH order触发的随机接入,并开始执行请求系统信息随机接入或指示物理层发送请求系统信息前导序列;如果预定义请求系统信息随机接入的优先级低于PDCCH order触发的随机接入,则在发生所述冲突时,MAC选择用于PDCCH order中显式指定的前导序列并指示物理层进行发送。即MAC实体在选择用于随机接入的前导序列时,先判断是否存在PDCCH order触发的随机接入,如果是,则选择PDCCH order中显式指定的前导序列并指示物理层发送;或者如果正在执行请求系统信息随机接入,PDCCH order触发随机接入,UE中断当前正在执行的请求系统信息随机接入,并开始执行PDCCH order触发的随机接入或选择PDCCH order中显式指定的前导序列并指示物理层发送。
需要说明的是,上述实施例也适用于请求系统信息随机接入与一般随机接入使用相同的前导序列的场景。此时,如果需要执行系统信息请求随机接入,MAC实体从一般随机接入的前导序列集中选择一个前导序列发送。上述实施例的其他过程保持不变。例如,请求系统信息随机接入的前导序列是一般随机接入基于竞争的前导序列集。当执行由系统信息请求消息触发的随机接入过程时,MAC实体从一般随机接入基于竞争的前导序列集中选择一个前导序列并指示物理层发送
类型三:由MAC子层触发的随机接入,消息3发生冲突
在所述类型中,随机接入由MAC子层触发,UE在构建消息3时,有多条消息或数据待发送,所述消息或数据可以来自不同的CCCH逻辑信道或相同的CCCH逻辑信道(其中可以携带一个标识,用于指示消息类型或消息优先级,以便MAC区分不同的消息或区分不同消息的优先级)。
在一个实施例中,消息3只可携带一种类型的消息或数据,例如如果消息3中携带了请求其他系统信息请求消息对应的CCCH SDU,则不能再携带其他消息或数据。可以预定义或通过RRC信令配置不同消息或数据或CCCH SDU或CCCH逻辑信道的优先级,UE在消息3中包含优先级最高的消息或数据或CCCH SDU。如果预定义请求其他系统信息请求消息对应的CCCH SDU或消息优先级高于其他CCCH SDU或消息或数据,则MAC实体在构建消息3时,先判断是否有待发送的系统信息请求消息对应的CCCH SDU或消息,如果有,则在消息3中包含所述内容;如果没有,则在消息3中包含所述其他CCCH对应的CCCH SDU或消息或数据。如果预定义请求其他系统信息请求消息对应的CCCH SDU或消息优先级低于其他CCCH SDU或消息或数据,则MAC实体在构建消息3时,先判断是否有待发送的其他CCCH对应的CCCH SDU或消息或数据,如果有,则在消息3中包含所述其他CCCH对应的CCCH SDU或消息或数据;如果没有,则在消息3中包含所述内容。
在另一个实施例中,消息3中可以携带多种类型的消息或数据,例如如果携带在RAR中的上行调度(UL Grant)足够大,消息3中可以携带多种消息或CCCH SDU或数据且这些消息或CCCH SDU或数据按照预定义的顺序包含在消息3中。例如假设请求其他系统信息请求消息对应的CCCH  SDU放在RRC连接请求消息或RRC连接重建请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息等对应的CCCH SDU前面,反之亦然。
需要说明的是,本公开所述预定义的参数或规则或优先级也可以通过RRC信令配置。
