Description

一种无线数据单元RDU的切换方法及设备
本申请要求在2016年12月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为201611264143.9、发明名称为“一种无线数据单元RDU的切换方法及设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信领域,尤其涉及一种无线数据单元RDU的切换方法及设备。
背景技术
无线通信网络中包括两类网络单元,分别为无线控制单元(Radio Control Unit,RCU)和无线数据单元(Radio Data Unit,RDU)。其中,RCU负责控制用户设备(User Equipment,UE)接入网络、为UE分配资源以及建立UE与核心网之间的承载;RDU负责提供物理的空口无线链路,实时调度资源以实现与UE进行数据和信令的交互。
UE从一个RDU的覆盖区域移动到另一个RDU的覆盖区域时,由于UE与该一个RDU的信道质量逐渐变差,该UE与该另一个RDU的信道质量逐渐变好,该UE需要从该一个RDU切换至该另一个RDU。通常将UE切换前为该UE服务的RDU称为源RDU,将UE切换后为该UE服务的RDU称为目标RDU。
对于UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的场景,5G网络需求在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中将数据传输的中断时延控制在100微秒的范围内,目前标准中还没有定义能够实现5G网络的这种需求的RDU切换方案。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供了一种RDU的切换方法及设备,用以实现UE从源RDU快速切换至目标RDU,降低UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延。
第一方面,本发明实施例提供的一种RDU的切换方法,包括:
源RDU接收所述源RDU服务的UE上报的第一信道质量和第二信道质量,所述第一信道质量是指所述UE与所述源RDU的信道的质量,所述第二信道质量是指所述UE与目标RDU的信道的质量;
所述源RDU在确定所述第一信道质量与所述第二信道质量满足预设条件,并且确定所述目标RDU的资源用于被所述源RDU调度时,所述源RDU向所述UE发送第一消息,并向所述目标RDU发送第二消息,所述第一消息用于指示所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU,所述第二消息用于指示所述源RDU调度的所述目标RDU的资源,所述目标RDU的资源用于在所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU的过程中所述目标RDU与所述UE进行数据传输。
上述方法中,由于在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度,被源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输,因此在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,通过上述方法可以保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,进而将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延 降至最低,能够满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。如果采用现有技术,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源仅用于被目标RDU调度,在目标RDU的资源紧张的情况下会导致目标RDU与UE进行数据传输出现较长时间的中断延时,采用现有技术不能满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述源RDU向所述目标RDU发送所述第二消息之前,所述源RDU根据所述第二信道质量确定所述源RDU调度的所述目标RDU的资源。
其中,源RDU根据第二信道质量确定源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源是指,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源。源RDU根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源的方法与现有技术中目标RDU根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源的方法相同。
这样,源RDU便可以根据所述第二信道质量确定所述源RDU调度的所述目标RDU的资源,进而源RDU可以在向目标RDU发送的第二消息中指示源RDU调度的所述目标RDU的资源。
在一种可能的实现方式中,上述方法还包括:
在所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU的过程中,当所述源RDU向所述UE发送数据失败时,所述源RDU通过所述目标RDU上建立的所述源RDU的媒体接入控制MAC实体的镜像调度所述目标RDU向所述UE发送所述源RDU发送失败的数据。
其中,目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像的配置信息与源RDU的MAC实体的配置信息相同,目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像具有与源RDU的MAC实体相同的功能,目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像受源RDU控制。
进一步的,可以限定目标RDU建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像的应用范围。比如,将目标RDU建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像与UE信息进行绑定,表示目标RDU建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像应用于绑定的UE信息指示的UE的RDU切换过程中,以实现UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中目标RDU通过建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像向UE传输数据。
这样,由于目标RDU通过目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像,可以获得源RDU向UE发送失败的数据,因此源RDU可以精准预留用于向UE发送失败的数据所需要的资源,进而避免由于预留资源不准确导致的资源浪费,同时将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述预设条件包括:
所述第二信道质量与所述第一信道质量的差值大于第一阈值;和/或,
所述第一信道质量小于第二阈值,所述第二信道质量大于第三阈值。
这样,第一信道质量与第二信道质量满足预设条件,说明UE接收源RDU的信号较弱,UE接收目标RDU的信号较佳,目标RDU与UE可以进行正常通信,例如语音通话、视频下载等通信,因此适宜UE切换至目标RDU。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标RDU的资源包括所述目标RDU的时域资源和/或所述目标RDU的频域资源。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,当目标RDU 与其他UE进行传输所使用的资源与源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源为同一资源时,该同一资源应优先用于源RDU调度。
这样,可以实现在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中源RDU可以优先调度目标RDU的资源,进一步保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。
第二方面,本发明实施例提供的一种RDU切换方法,包括:
目标RDU接收源RDU发送的消息,所述消息用于指示所述源RDU调度的所述目标RDU的资源,所述目标RDU的资源用于在所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU的过程中所述目标RDU与所述UE进行数据传输;
在所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU的过程中,所述目标RDU通过所述消息指示的所述目标RDU的资源与所述UE进行数据传输,所述目标RDU的资源用于被所述源RDU调度。
上述方法中,由于在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度,被源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输,因此在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,通过上述方法可以保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,进而将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低,能够满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。如果采用现有技术,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源仅用于被目标RDU调度,在目标RDU的资源紧张的情况下会导致目标RDU与UE进行数据传输出现较长时间的中断延时,采用现有技术不能满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标RDU接收源RDU发送的所述消息之前,所述目标RDU预留设定资源,所述设定资源用于被所述源RDU调度在所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU的过程中所述目标RDU与所述UE进行数据传输。
这样,目标RDU通过预留设定资源,该预留资源用于被源RDU调度,可以进一步保证在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,进而将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。在没有UE切换至目标RDU的情况下,允许目标RDU使用预留的设定资源。
在一种可能的实现方式中,上述方法还包括:
所述目标RDU建立所述源RDU的媒体接入控制MAC实体的镜像;
在所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU的过程中,当所述源RDU向所述UE发送数据失败时,所述目标RDU通过所述源RDU的MAC实体的镜像被所述源RDU调度,向所述UE发送所述源RDU发送失败的数据。
这样,由于目标RDU通过目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像,可以获得源RDU向UE发送失败的数据,因此源RDU可以精准预留用于向UE发送失败的数据所需要的资源,进而避免由于预留资源不准确导致的资源浪费,同时将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述目标RDU的资源包括所述目标RDU的时域资源和/或所述目标RDU的频域资源。
第三方面,本发明实施例提供的一种RDU的切换方法,包括:

所述UE接收所述源RDU发送的消息,所述消息用于指示所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU;
所述UE根据接收的所述消息从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU,在所述UE从所述源RDU切换至所述目标RDU的过程中,所述源RDU用于调度所述目标RDU与所述UE进行数据传输。
上述方法中,由于在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度,被源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输,因此在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,通过上述方法可以保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,进而将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低,能够满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。如果采用现有技术,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源仅用于被目标RDU调度,在目标RDU的资源紧张的情况下会导致目标RDU与UE进行数据传输出现较长时间的中断延时,采用现有技术不能满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。

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。
本发明实施例提供的一种RDU的切换方法及设备,能够实现UE从源RDU快速切换至目标RDU,降低在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延。本发明实施例提供的技术方案尤其适用于5G网络中UE从源RDU快速切换至目标RDU的场景,能够针对5G网络中UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程,将数据传输的中断时延控制在100微秒范围内。其中,方法和设备是基于同一发明构思的,由于方法和设备解决问题的原理相似,因此RDU与方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。
UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU是指,UE从一个RDU的信号的覆盖区域向另一个RDU的信号的覆盖区域移动时,由于UE与该一个RDU的信道质量逐渐变差,该UE与该另一个RDU的信道质量逐渐变好,该UE需要从该一个RDU切换至该另一个RDU;通常将UE切换前为该UE服务的RDU称为源RDU,将UE切换后为该UE服务的RDU称为目标RDU。
在无线网络中,例如5G网络中,RCU负责控制UE接入网络、为UE分配资源以及建立UE与核心网之间的承载;RDU负责提供物理的空口无线链路,实时调度资源以实现与UE进行数据和信令的交互。
如图1A所示为5G的接入网络架构示意图,图1A中包括2类网络单元,分别为RCU和RDU。其中,RCU具有接入层的协议栈实体,包括无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)实体和分组数据汇聚层协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)实体;RDU具有接入层的协议栈实体,包括无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)实体、媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)实体和物理层(Physical Layer,PHY)实体。图1A中,RCU与核心网(Core Network,CN)之间、RCU与RDU之间以及设备与UE之间分别通过如图1A所示的收发器进行通信。
如图1B所示为5G网络的部署示意图,图1B中一个RCU下面连接了多个RDU,一个RDU下面有多个天线传输点,F1和F2是RDU的天线传输点。其中,F1的频率是低频段,所以F1的覆盖区域较大,F2的频率是高频段,所以F2的覆盖区域较小。如图1B所示F2的覆盖区域在F1的覆盖区域之内,目的是F2针对热点地区来吸收更多的话务量,进而满足比如购物中心或者地铁站等人流密集区的通信业务需求。
下面结合说明书附图对本发明各个实施例进行详细描述。需要说明的是,本发明实施例的展示顺序仅代表实施例的先后顺序,并不代表实施例所提供的技术方案的优劣。
实施例一
本发明实施例提供了一种RDU的切换方法,该方法适用于UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的场景。如图2所示,本发明实施例提供的一种RDU的切换方法中UE、源RDU以及目标RDU之间的交互流程如下:
S201、UE向源RDU上报第一信道质量和第二信道质量。
其中,第一信道质量是指UE与源RDU的信道的质量,第二信道质量是指UE与目标RDU的信道的质量。
在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU之前,UE位于源RDU的信号覆盖区域内,UE通过源RDU与RCU建立有RRC链路,由源RDU为UE提供服务。当UE移动到源RDU的信号的覆盖区域与目标RDU的信号的覆盖区域的重叠区域时,UE既可以接收到源RDU的信号,又可以接收到目标RDU的信号。随着UE逐渐远离源RDU、逐渐靠近目标RDU,UE与源RDU的第一信道质量逐渐变差,UE与目标RDU的第二信道质量逐渐变好。UE可以测量第一信道质量和第二信道质量,并将测量的第一信道质量和第二信道质量上报给源RDU,以使RDU根据信道质量判断UE是否可以从源RDU切换至目标RDU。UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU是指,UE通过源RDU与RCU建立RRC链路切换成UE通过目标RDU与RCU建立RRC链路,UE切换后由目标RDU为UE提供服务。
需要说明的是,UE向源RDU上报的信息包括但不限于第一信道质量和第二信道质量。本实施例中,UE可以根据源RDU的指示向源RDU进行上报,以使RDU根据UE上报的信息判断UE是否可以从源RDU切换至目标RDU。
S202、源RDU确定第一信道质量与第二信道质量满足预设条件,并且确定目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度。
S202中第一信道质量与第二信道质量满足预设条件,说明UE接收源RDU的信号较弱,UE接收目标RDU的信号较佳,因此适宜UE切换至目标RDU。比如,预设条件包括: 第二信道质量与第一信道质量的差值大于第一阈值,改第一阈值可以设置,例如第一阈值可以设置为3dB或者6dB。又比如,预设条件包括:第一信道质量小于第二阈值,第二信道质量大于第三阈值,第二阈值和第三阈值可以设置,通过设置第二阈值和第三阈值实现对第一信号质量和第二信号质量的限定,使得第一信道质量小于第二阈值时,源RDU与UE不能够进行正常通信,第二信道质量大于第三阈值时,目标RDU与UE可以进行正常通信,RDU与UE进行的通信可以是指语音通话、视频下载等。
S202中目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度是指,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度,被源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输。如果采用现有技术,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU的资源仅用于被目标RDU调度,在目标RDU的资源紧张的情况下会导致目标RDU与UE进行数据传输出现较长时间的中断延时。因此,本实施例中由于在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中源RDU可以调度目标RDU的资源,保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。
较佳地,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,当目标RDU与其他UE进行传输所使用的资源与源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源为同一资源时,该同一资源应优先用于源RDU调度,以使在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中源RDU可以调度目标RDU的资源,进一步保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。
其中,目标RDU的资源可以是目标RDU的时域资源,也可以是目标RDU的频域资源。
源RDU在执行S202之后,便可以确定UE可以从源RDU切换至目标RDU,并且,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。
本实施例中,源RDU可以预先从RCU获得切换准则,该切换准侧用于判断UE是否可以从源RDU切换至目标RDU。该切换准包括S202中的预设条件和用于指示目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度,切换准侧可以指示哪些RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度。例如,预设条件可以是第二信道质量与第一信道质量的差值大于设定阈值,还可以是所述第一信道质量大于第二阈值,所述第二大于第三阈值。
可选的,切换准侧还包括其他信息。例如,切换准侧还包括负荷门限,若目标RDU的实际负荷大于该负荷门限,则源RDU确定UE不可以从源RDU切换至目标RDU。又例如,切换准侧还可以指示源RDU的资源用于被哪些RDU调度。又例如,切换准侧还可以包括UE的最大允许速率,用于源RDU确定目标RDU与UE进行数据传输时需要的目标RDU的资源。
S203、源RDU向UE发送第一消息,并向目标RDU发送第二消息。
其中,第一消息用于指示UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU;第二消息用于指示源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源,该源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源用于在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中目标RDU与UE进行数据传输。
可选的,在S203源RDU向目标RDU发送第二消息之前,源RDU可以根据第二信道质量确定源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源。其中,根据第二信道质量确定源RDU调度的 目标RDU的资源是指,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源。根据第二信道质量确定源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源为现有技术,只不过现有技术中是由目标RDU根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源,而本实施例中是由源RDU根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源。针对根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源的方法,虽然本实施例与现有技术中的执行主体不同,但本实施例与现有技术中根据第二信道质量确定用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输的目标RDU的资源的方法是相同的。因此,本实施例中,源RDU根据第二信道质量确定源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源的方法可参见现有技术,本实施例中不再赘述。
S204、UE根据源RDU发送的第一消息的指示,从源RDU切换至目标RDU。
在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,UE既可以与源RDU进行数据传输,又可以在源RDU的调度下与目标RDU进行数据传输。其中,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,UE与源RDU进行数据传输的过程与现有技术相同,此处不再赘述;在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,UE在源RDU的调度下与目标RDU进行数据传输过程为本实施例提供的数据传输方法描述的过程。UE切换至目标RDU之后,由目标RDU为UE提供服务,UE切换至目标RDU之后为现有技术,此处不再赘述。
现有技术中,源RDU也需要向UE发送用于指示UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的消息,此消息包括目标RDU的全部参数,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中UE根据该目标RDU的全部参数与目标RDU进行数据传输,此过程源RDU不会参与。而本实施例中,源RDU向UE发送的第一消息仅用于指示UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU,在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中源RDU调度目标RDU与UE进行数据传输。
S205、在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,目标RDU根据第二消息的指示,通过源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源与UE进行数据传输。
可选的,目标RDU也可以预先从RCU获得切换准则,关于该切换准侧的描述可参见S202下面的相关内容,在此不再赘述。其中,目标RDU获得的切换准则可以指示目标RDU的资源用于被哪些RDU调度,以及哪些RDU的资源用于被目标RDU调度。
本实施例中,各个RDU可以在自身的资源中预留设定资源,该预留的设定资源用于被其他指定RDU调度,用于在UE从其他指定RDU切换至自身的过程中与UE进行数据传输,进一步保证在UE从其他指定RDU切换至自身的过程中自身能够与UE进行数据传输,将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。以本发明实施例中第二设备预留设定资源为例,第二设备预留的设定资源用于被源RDU调度,用于在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中目标RDU与UE进行数据传输。在没有UE切换至目标RDU的情况下,允许目标RDU使用预留的设定资源。
本发明实施例提供的一种RDU切换方法可以实现UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU。在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,由于目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU调度,被源RDU调度的目标RDU的资源用于目标RDU与UE进行数据传输,因此在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,通过本发明实施例提供的方法可以保证目标RDU与UE能够进行数据传输,将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低,进而满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。
在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,为了进一步保证目标RDU能够与UE进行数据传输,将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低,本发明实施例还提供一种数据传输方法,该方法应用于UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中。如图3所示为本发明实施例提供应用于UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中的下行数据传输方法,该方法包括:
S301、目标RDU建立源RDU的MAC实体的镜像。
S301中目标RDU向源RDU获取的源RDU的MAC实体的配置参数,然后目标RDU根据源RDU的MAC实体的配置参数建立源RDU的MAC实体的镜像。因此,目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像的配置信息与源RDU的MAC实体的配置信息相同,目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像具有与源RDU的MAC实体相同的功能。目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像受源RDU控制。
进一步的,本实施例中可以限定目标RDU建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像的应用范围。比如,将目标RDU建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像与UE信息进行绑定,表示目标RDU建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像应用于绑定的UE信息指示的UE的RDU切换过程中,以实现UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中目标RDU通过建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像向UE传输数据。其中,UE信息包括UE的标识、UE的功率上限,UE的业务类型、UE的最低速率、UE允许的进程个数等信息。
S302、在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,源RDU向UE发送数据。
S302具体包括:在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,源RDU需要向UE发送数据时,源RDU的MAC实体生成MAC协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU),该MAC PDU在物理层进行编码后生成至少两个冗余版本(Redundancy Version,RV)的比特(bit)流,源RDU向UE发送该至少两个RV版本的soft bit流中的一个RV版本的soft bit流,进而实现源RDU向UE发送数据。
S303、当UE接收源RDU发送的数据失败时,UE向源RDU发送错误应答(Negative Acknowledge,NACK)指令。
S304、源RDU通过目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像调度目标RDU,控制目标RDU向UE发送源RDU发送失败的数据。
S304具体包括:源RDU接收到UE发送的NACK指令后,源RDU通过目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像指示目标RDU通过源RDU向UE发送一个冗余版本的比特流失败,说明此时UE与源RDU的第一信道质量较差。在目标RDU与UE的第二信道质量较好的情况下,源RDU通过目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像指示目标RDU向UE发送其他冗余版本的比特流,然后目标RDU向UE发送其他冗余版本的比特流,进而实现目标RDU向UE重传源RDU发送失败的数据。UE根据源RDU和目标RDU发送的数据进行合并解调。
上述方法中,由于目标RDU通过目标RDU上建立的源RDU的MAC实体的镜像,可以获得源RDU向UE发送失败的数据,因此源RDU可以精准预留用于向UE发送失败的数据所需要的资源,进而避免由于预留资源不准确导致的资源浪费,同时将UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中数据传输的中断时延降至最低。
基于与如图3所示的方法相同的发明构思,针对UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中的上行数据传输,由于目标RDU上建立有源RDU的MAC实体的镜像,因此源RDU 和目标RDU都可以收到UE发送的上行数据,源RDU可以将源RDU和目标RDU接收的上行数据进行合并,然后源RDU根据合并后的上行数据接收状态向UE发送正确应答(Acknowledge,ACK)指令或NACK指令,目标RDU不需要向UE发送ACK指令或NACK指令。
本发明实施例提供的应用于UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中的数据传输方法中,源RDU与目标RDU之间合作与UE进行数据传输,从每个数据包的混合自动重传(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)的处理时序上是没有中断的。通过源RDU与目标RDU之间合作与UE进行数据传输还能提高数据传输的效率,在源RDU和目标RDU上有了时间和频率分集的效果,尤其针对源RDU与UE的第一信道质量较差的场景效果更佳。
假设现有技术中采用多流集成(Multi-Service Aggregation,MAS)技术实现UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程,该过程包括:源RDU为UE提供服务时,源RDU与UE通过建立的通信链路实现数据传输。在UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中,RCU指示目标RDU与UE之间建立备份通信链路,导致网络发送的下行数据会分别通过源RDU和目标RDU传输至UE,UE发送的上行数据会分别通过源RDU和目标RDU传输至网络,因此同一份数据需要使用两份资源进行传输,进而导致资源利用率低。此外,目标RDU与UE之间建立备份通信链路需要占用一定资源,也会导致资源利用率低;目标RDU与UE之间建立备份通信链路需要一定时间,进而导致UE从源RDU切换至目标RDU的过程中的数据传输的中断时延较长,因此不能满足5G网络中对于RDU切换的数据传输的中断时延的需求。
实施例二
基于同一发明构思,本发明实施例还提供了一种源RDU,该源RDU可以执行实施例一提供的一种RDU切换方法中源RDU侧的方法。参阅图4所示,源RDU400包括:收发单元401和处理单元402。其中,
收发单元401,用于接收源RDU400服务的用户设备UE上报的第一信道质量和第二信道质量,第一信道质量是指UE与源RDU400的信道的质量,第二信道质量是指UE与目标RDU的信道的质量;
处理单元402,用于确定收发单元401接收的第一信道质量与第二信道质量满足预设条件,并且确定目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU400调度,目标RDU的资源用于在UE从源RDU400切换至目标RDU的过程中目标RDU与UE进行数据传输;
收发单元401,还用于在处理单元402确定第一信道质量与第二信道质量满足预设条件,并且确定目标RDU的资源用于被源RDU400调度时,向UE发送第一消息,并向目标RDU发送第二消息,第一消息用于指示UE从源RDU400切换至目标RDU,第二消息用于指示源RDU400调度的目标RDU的资源。
可选的,处理单元402还用于:
