具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,下文中将结合附图对本申请的实施例进行详细说明。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
在附图的流程图示出的步骤可以在诸如一组计算机可执行指令的计算机系统中执行。并且,虽然在流程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。
相关技术中,在CU-DU高层协议分离的架构中有option2和option3两种方案。
如图1,option 2是在分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)和无线链路控制(RLC,Radio Link Control)之间进行划分,即PDCP及其PDCP以上放在CU,RLC及其RLC以下的实体放在DU。
如图2所示,option 3是在RLC内部进行划分,即部分RLC功能、PDCP及其PDCP以上放在CU,部分RLC功能及其以下的实体放在DU。在本文中在CU中的部分RLC定义为RLC-H,对在DU中的部分RLC定义为RLC-L。其中,RLC-H功能为非时延敏感功能,包括自动重传请求(ARQ,Automatic Repeat Request)、非调度相关的分段和/或级联。RLC-L功能为时延敏感功能(比如实时分段功能),根据MAC调度指示对来自CU的协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)数据包实时进行处理。
如图3所示,由于CU集中式部署,一个服务小区的CU会连接多个DU,从用户当前CU控制的一个DU的服务范围内移动到该CU控制的另一个DU的服务范围,用户也需要从当前DU切换到目标DU。并且这种内部CU(intra-CU)控制下的DU切换由于DU会密集部署,会比较频繁。
在option2的intra-CU DU切换过程中,由于RLC功能位于DU,那么当用户从源DU切换到目标DU以后,在下行数据传输过程中,源DU上的RLC发送缓冲区的数据会清除,这样原DU上没有发送成功的RLC PDU数据就会丢失。切换的目标DU并不清楚源DU上有哪些RLC PDU数据并没有传输成功。
在option3的intra-CU DU切换过程中,由于RLC功能一部分位于DU,另一部分包含RLC ARQ的那部分位于CU,那么当用户从源DU切换到目标DU之后,由于为了节省状态报告发送资源,现有RLC的状态报告并非实时的,而是受到RLC轮询、状态报告发送机制和状态禁止定时器控制,通常状态报告发送之间存在较长的时间间隔(gap)。那么在option3切换到目标DU以后,发送端CU可能并没有发起实时的轮询,或者用户RLC可能不能及时上报RLC状态报告给CU,或者最新的RLC状态报告在DU链路切换过程中已经丢失。这样使得CU无法及时发现需要重传的RLC PDU数据,导致用户传输时延加大,甚至丢包。
综上,在intra-CU的DU间切换的时候,在option 2和option3中都会存在下行RLC PDU数据的重传时延加大和丢失的风险。如果用户数据传输RLC是配置在AM模式下,那么这种RLC PDU数据在DU之间切换过程中的丢失,就会对用户服务质量带来严重的负面影响。以上下行RLC PDU数据在DU切换过程中的丢失,在单连接(UE连接到一个DU)、双连接或者多连接中都是类似的(UE同时连接到两个或者多个DU)。
所以相关技术中的CU-DU架构下,用户在同一CU下的DU间切换容易导致下行数据丢失,不满足无缝切换的要求。针对该问题,本申请提出一种数据传输方案,该数据传输方案适用于CU-DU组网架构下用户在DU之间切换的过程,能够解决5G的CU-DU架构下用户在确认模式下数据传输过程中在同一CU下的DU间切换容易导致下行RLC PDU数据丢失的问题。

本实施例中,intra CU在DU间切换时可以提前向目标DU发送数据,以便目标DU能够将相应数据重传至UE。具体的,当网络侧判断DU间可能进行切换,或者网络侧在进行DU间切换的准备工作时,CU可以提前一 段时间将向源DU发送的PDCP PDU数据同时向目标DU发送一份完全相同的拷贝(具有相同的序列(SN)号和内容)。这样,目标DU在切换完成时,接收到PDCP状态报告后,可以直接根据所述PDCP状态报告获知UE未能成功接收的PDCP情况,将CU提前缓存在目标DU中的对应PDCP PDU数据重传到UE,从而缩小重传时延。
在一些实现方式中,如果UE不支持DU切换完成后主动触发PDCP状态报告的功能,CU也可以在切换时,向UE发送PDCP轮询,要求UE上报PDCP状态报告。具体的,在网络侧判断intra CU的DU间需要切换前,CU可以向UE发送一个PDCP轮询包,UE接收到所述PDCP轮询包后,可以向网络侧上报PDCP状态报告。CU接收到PDCP状态报告以后,可以将新传的数据和UE未能成功接收的PDCP PDU数据同时向源DU和目标DU发送,这样可以降低提前向目标DU缓冲数据的冗余性。
在一些实现方式中,为减少提前发送数据的冗余度,源DU也可以根据UE反馈的RLC状态报告,知道自己有哪些PDCP PDU数据未能成功传输,基于此,源DU可以构造一个PDCP状态报告并发送给CU,CU接收到该PDCP状态报告以后,可以将新传的数据和UE未能成功接收的PDCP PDU数据同时发送至源DU和目标DU,以便目标DU将相应的PDCP PDU数据发送至UE,从而避免丢包。
本实施例的上述数据传输方法及装置,由UE主动触发PDCP报告并送至目标DU,目标DU可以根据该PDCP报告获取未被UE成功接收的PDCP PDU数据并重传至UE,解决了同一CU下的DU间切换容易导致下行PDCP PDU数据丢失的问题,满足了用户的无缝切换需求。
此外,本实施例中由CU提前将未被UE成功接收的PDCP PDU数据送至目标DU并缓存,在DU切换完成之后目标DU可以直接根据PDCP状态报告从缓存中获取相应的PDCP PDU数据并重传至UE,从而解决了下 行数据重传时延较大的问题。
