Description

重复传输的方法及装置
本申请要求于2017年4月19日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710257589.7、申请名称为“重复传输的方法及装置”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，尤其涉及一种重复传输的方法和装置。
背景技术
随着无线通信技术的飞速发展，第五代(5th Generation,5G)无线通信技术已是目前业界的热点。5G将支持多样化的应用需求，其中包括支持更高速率体验和更大带宽的接入能力、更低时延和高可靠的信息交互、以及更大规模且低成本的机器类通信设备的接入和管理等。此外，5G将支持面向车联网、应急通信、工业互联网等各种垂直行业应用场景。
高可靠低延时通信(Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications,URLLC)是5G中的一种重要通信类型。URLLC是一种对时延和可靠性要求很高的通信业务，例如应用在无人驾驶、远程医疗等场景。该类型业务对用户平面的延时要求需要达到上行/下行传输0.5ms；对于32字节长度的传输在用户面延时为1ms的情况下可靠性需要达到1-10-5等。为了支持URLLC业务，需要对现有移动通信系统的空口技术进一步的优化。例如在物理层上可使用更强健的调制/编码技术、更短发送时间间隔的调度等。如何在上层(如媒体接入控制层、无线链路控制层、分组数据汇聚协议层等)有效地支持URLLC业务数据的传输，目前尚未有适当的解决方案。

终端设备110也可以称为用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。终端设备110可以是无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)中的站点(STATION,ST)，可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)设备、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、中继设备，计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统，例如，第五代通信(Fifth-Generation,5G)网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络中的终端设备等。作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，该终端设备110还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上，或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备，更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能，例如：智能手表或智能眼镜等，以及只专注于某一类应用功能，需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用，如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
在图1(b)的双连接/多连接场景中，至少两个RAN设备(如主RAN设备101和辅RAN设备102)与终端设备110通过三个小区进行通信，即RAN设备101及RAN设备102与终端设备110之间存在三条不同的链路，每条链路可以对应一个小区，该小区可以是主RAN设备101管理的主小区组(Master Cell Group,MCG)中的一个小区，也可以是辅RAN设备102管理的辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group,SCG)中的一个小区。在双连接/多连接场景中，终端设备和至少两个RAN设备管理的多个小区建立连接。在该至少两个RAN设备中有一个RAN设备称为主RAN设备，负责和该终端设备进行控制面数据和用户面数据的传输，该主RAN设备所管理的小区的集合称为MCG；在该至少两个RAN设备中除了主RAN设备外的其他RAN设备称为辅RAN设备，主要用于和该终端设备进行用户面数据的传输，一个辅RAN设备所管理的小区的集合称为SCG。为了便于说明，在本文以 下描述中，在终端设备和一个或多个RAN设备通信的情况下，都使用RAN设备描述该终端设备所通信的主RAN设备。应理解，RAN设备101-102和终端设备110进行通信所使用的至少两个小区以及每个小区的时频资源是由网络配置或主RAN设备101和终端设备110协商确定的。图1(b)所示三个小区的时频资源是不同的，在实际网络中，该三个小区的时频资源也可以是相同的，取决于系统的配置。
在图1(c)的多载波场景中，RAN设备101和终端设备110通过第一载波、第二载波和第三载波进行通信，即RAN设备101和终端设备110之间存在三条不同链路，每条链路对应一个载波。在多载波场景中，终端设备和一个RAN设备管理的至少两个小区建立连接，每个小区对应地使用一个载波。在该具有不同载波的至少两个小区中有一个小区称为主小区(Primary Cell,PCell)，负责和该终端设备进行控制面数据和用户面数据的传输；在该至少两个小区中除了主小区外的其他小区称为辅小区(Secondary Cell,SCell)，主要用于和该终端设备进行用户面数据的传输。应理解，在多载波场景中，载波和小区具有相同的含义，可以互换使用。RAN设备101和终端设备110进行通信所使用的多个载波/小区以及每个载波/小区的带宽是由网络配置或RAN设备101和终端设备110协商确定的。

在图1(e)的多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)场景中，RAN设备101和终端设备110通过第一天线端口、第二天线端口和第三天线端口进行通信，即RAN设备101和终端设备110之间存在三条不同的链路，每条链路对应一个天线端口。不同的天线端口具有不同的天线端口标识或序号。在MIMO场景中，终端设备110使用多个天线端口和RAN设备101所管理的至少一个小区通信。应理解，RAN设备101和终端设备110进行通信所使用的多个天线端口以及每个天线端口的资源配置是由网络配置或RAN设备101和终端设备110协商确定的。
通常地，对于终端设备110向RAN设备101或RAN设备101-102的数据传输，会经历以下流程：终端设备110的分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层将来自应用的数据映射到数据无线承载(Data Radio Bearer,DRB)形成DRB数据并传输至无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)层，或将来自控制面的信令数据传输至RLC层，RLC层将DRB或信令数据映射到逻辑信道(Logical Channel,LC)并传输至媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层，MAC层实现一个或多个LC的数据的复用并以一定大小的传输块为单位传输至物理层，进而发送至RAN设备101或RAN设备101-102。对于有高可靠性和低时延要求的业务，在终端设备110和RAN设备101或RAN设备101-102有至少两条链路存在的情况下，终端设备110通过在至少两条链路上重复传输数据。该重复传输是相同的数据在不同的链路上进行传输，通常也称作数据重复(data duplication)或包重复(packet duplication)，使得RAN设备101或RAN设备101-102可以在至少两条链路上收到终端设备110发送的相同的数据。RAN设备101或主RAN 设备101可进一步在PDCP层对接收到的重复的数据进行重复检测以获得所需的数据。下文中将以URLLC业务传输为例来描述本发明实施例的技术方案，应理解，本发明实施例的技术方案也可用于其他类型业务的传输，如移动宽带业务、机器通信业务等。
以下，结合图2至图8详细描述本申请的方法实施例。下面以具体的实施例对本申请的技术方案进行详细说明。下面这几个具体的实施例可以相互结合，对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。应理解，图2至图8是本申请实施例的通信方法的示意性流程图，示出了该方法的详细的通信步骤或操作，但这些步骤或操作仅是示例，本申请实施例还可以执行其它操作或者图2至图8中的各种操作的变形。此外，图2至图8中的各个步骤可以分别按照与图2至图8所呈现的不同的顺序来执行，并且有可能并非要执行图2至图8中的全部操作。
图2示出了本申请实施例的一种重复传输方法的流程示意图，该方法200可应用于图1所示的通信场景，包含如下步骤：
201、RAN设备向终端设备发送重复传输配置信息。
其中，该重复传输配置信息包括配置该终端设备的重复传输的模式和/或重复传输的内容。该配置重复传输的模式用于指示该终端设备是否进行重复传输或在至少两条链路上进行重复传输。该配置重复传输的内容用于指示该终端设备要进行重复传输的DRB数据和/或信令数据。对于终端设备要传输的URLLC业务数据，RAN设备可以根据网络的负载状况、终端设备的无线信道质量、以及网络中正在运行的URLLC业务性能等情况确定终端设备的重复传输配置。例如，在当前网络没有出现过载以及终端设备的无线信道质量不高的情况下，RAN设备可配置终端设备进行重复传输；在网路出现过载或终端设备的无线信道质量高的情况下，RAN设备可配置终端设备不进行重复传输。RAN设备还可以从其他网络设备(如核心网设备)获取终端设备重复传输的配置信息进而确定终端设备的重复传输配置。类似地，RAN设备还可根据网络中用户面数据和控制面数据各自的负载状况以及时延性能等配置终端设备对DRB数据和信令数据的重复传输。应理解，当该终端设备和至少两个RAN设备通信时，该RAN设备是至少两个RAN设备中的主RAN设备。
可选地，该重复传输配置信息指示该终端设备开启(激活)或关闭(去激活)重复传输。示例性地，RAN设备可以通过1比特的配置信息通知终端设备开启(激活)或关闭(去激活)重复传输。在终端设备和RAN设备之间存在两条链路的情况下，该RAN设备通知该终端设备开启重复传输，对应于该RAN设备配置该终端设备在该两条链路上进行重复传输。
可选地，该重复传输配置信息还配置该终端设备在指定数目的至少两条链路上进行重复传输。RAN设备可以配置终端设备在其与RAN设备通信的至少两条链路进行重复传输。例如，由于不同链路的无线信道质量可能有差异，RAN设备可以指定终端设备在至少两条链路中的无线信道质量高的部分链路上进行重复传输。示例性地，RAN设备可以通过多比特的配置信息通知终端设备在至少两条链路上进行重复传输。例如，RAN设备可以通过2比特的配置信息通知终端设备可以在至多四条链路上进行重复传输。此外，RAN设备还可以通过链路标识或链路序号等方式指示终端设备在指定的至少两条链路上进行重复传输。例如，RAN设备可以配置终端设备在第一链路标识和第二链路标识所对应的两条链路上进行重复传输。
可选地，该重复传输配置信息配置该终端设备对至少一个DRB的数据进行重复传输。例如，RAN设备可以将终端设备要进行重复传输的至少一个DRB的标识通过该重复传输配置信息发送给终端设备。此外，该重复传输配置信息还可配置该终端设备的至少一条信令的数据进行重复传输。示例性地，该信令可以是无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令、也可以是PDCP 控制消息(例如PDCP状态报告、头压缩控制信息等)、还可以是RLC状态报告、以及MAC控制消息(如MAC控制元素(Control Element,CE))等。

302、终端设备根据RRC配置信令进行重复传输。
在该步骤中，该终端设备根据从步骤301获取的RRC配置信令对重复传输的方式和/或重复传输的内容进行配置，并根据该配置进行重复传输。
可选地，该终端设备根据自身在各条链路上的情况决策在至少两条链路上进行重复传输，或在RAN设备配置的至少两条链路上进行重复传输。例如，如果该RAN设备仅配置该终端设备开启重复传输或仅指示该终端设备在指定数目的至少两条链路上进行重复传输，则该终端设备可自行决策在所有链路中的哪几条链路上进行重复传输；如果该RAN设备配置了该终端设备进行重复传输的至少两条链路，则该终端设备在该指定的至少两条链路上进行重复传输。在一种重复传输的方式中，该终端设备向该RAN设备发送授权请求，并在接收该RAN设备发送的传输授权后根据该RAN设备授权的资源在至少两条链路上进行重复传输。在另一种重复传输的方式中，该终端设备不需要向该RAN设备发送授权请求而使用免授权(grant-free或grant-less)方式在至少两条链路上进行重复传输。该终端设备进行重复传输的方式可以有多种，本文对此不做限定。

通过上述步骤，实现了RAN设备通过PDCP信令对终端设备的重复传输的配置，该终端设备根据该重复传输的配置进行重复传输，提高该终端设备数据传输的鲁棒性。
图6示出了本申请实施例的又一种重复传输方法的流程示意图，该方法600可应用于图1所示的通信场景，包含如下步骤：
601、RAN设备向终端设备发送MAC配置信令，该MAC配置信令用于配置该终端设备的重复传输。
其中，该MAC配置信令可通过MAC CE发送给该终端设备。图7示出本发明实施例提供的一种通过MAC CE配置该终端设备的重复传输的示意图。该MAC CE包括MAC子头(subheader)、LC ID或逻辑信道组(Logical Channel Group,LCG)标识、以及重复传输指示。可选地，在图7(a)中，该RAN设备的MAC CE包括需要重复传输的LC数据所对应的LC ID以及相应的重复传输指示；其中MAC子头用于指示该MAC CE用于配置终端设备的重复传输。该重复传输指示可以是1比特的指示信息用以通知开启(激活)或关闭(去激活)该LC的重复传输，例如该重复传输指示值为1时表示该终端设备需要重复传输该LC数据，该重复传输指示值为0时表示该终端设备不需要重复传输该LC数据。此外，如图7(b)所示，该RAN设备的MAC CE还可包括需要重复传输的LCG数据所对应的LCG ID以及相应的重复传输指示。该重复传输指示用以指示开启(激活)或关闭(去激活)该LCG的数据。进一步地，图7(a)和7(b)中的重复传输指示还可采用多比特来指示对LC/LCG的数据的重复传输。示例性地，该重复传输指示为两比特且取值为00时，表示对该LC/LCG ID标识的LC/LCG的数据进行一次重复传输；该重复传输指示为两比特且取值为01时，表示对该LC/LCG ID标识的LC/LCG的数据进行两次重复传输；该重复传输指示为两比特且取值为10时，表示对该LCLC/LCG ID标识的LCLC/LCG的数据进行三次重复传输；该重复传输指示为两比特且取值为11时，表示对该LCLC/LCG ID标识的LCLC/LCG的数据进行四次重复传输。可选地，还可采用如图7(C)所示的MAC CE配置重复传输。在该方式下，MAC CE包括需要重复传输的LC的指示。示例性地，A0～A7为8比特指示；其中，Ai取值为1时，表明开启(激活)序号为i的LC ID所对应的 LC数据重复传输，Ai取值为0时，表明对应关闭(去激活)序号为i的LC ID所对应的LC数据的重复传输。对于图1所示的所有场景，都可采用本申请实施例的MAC配置信令来配置终端设备的重复传输。
602、终端设备根据MAC配置信令进行重复传输。

可选地，该终端设备根据自身在各条链路上的情况决策在至少两条链路上进行重复传输，或在RAN设备配置的至少两条链路上进行重复传输。例如，如果该RAN设备仅配置该终端设备开启重复传输或仅指示该终端设备在指定数目的至少两条链路上进行重复传输，则该终端设备可自行决策在所有链路中的哪几条链路上进行重复传输；如果该RAN设备配置了该终端设备进行重复传输的至少两条链路，则该终端设备在该指定的至少两条链路上进行重复传输。在一种重复传输的方式中，该终端设备向该RAN设备发送授权请求，并在接收该RAN设备发送的传输授权后根据该RAN设备授权的资源在至少两条链路上进行重复传输。在另一种重复传输的方式中，该终端设备不需要向该RAN设备发送授权请求而使用免授权(grant-free或grant-less)方式在至少两条链路上进行重复传输。该终端设备进行重复传输的方式可以有多种，本文对此不做限定。
进一步地，在图1(c)的场景中，对于RLC非确认模式(Unacknowledge Mode,UM)的数据的重复传输，由于多条链路上无线信道质量不一致，数据在各个载波上传输的速率不同，可能造成数据在部分无线信道质量差的载波上的传输无效，因此在重复传输过程中，该终端设备的PDCP实体可以从该RAN设备发送的PDCP状态报告中获取该终端设备在各条链路上进行重复传输的状态，例如在哪些链路上传输完成，在哪些链路上传输还未完成等，并由该终端设备的PDCP实体向该终端设备的RLC实体发送PDCP PDU发送状态报告，例如该PDCP PDU已发送成功等，由该终端设备的RLC实体根据该PDCP PDU发送状态报告丢弃无效的PDCP PDU，例如丢弃还未完成传输的RLC实体中的PDCP PDU。
通过上述步骤，实现了RAN设备通过MAC信令对终端设备的重复传输的配置，该终端设备根据该重复传输的配置进行重复传输，提高该终端设备的数据传输的鲁棒性。

示例性地，如表7所示，该重复传输触发信息指示触发标识为DRB-Identity的DRB的重复传输的ARQ重传次数的阈值。例如，当标识为DRB-Identity的DRB中的一个标识为LogicalChannelIdentity的LC的ARQ重传次数高于ARQ-threshold时触发该LC数据的重复传输，当该ARQ重传次数不低于ARQ-threshold时不重复传输该LC的数据。对于图1所示的各种场景，都可采用本申请实施例的方式来指示触发重复传输DRB的数据。对于触发SRB的数据的重复传输的情况，类似地，将表7中的DRB-Identity替换成SRB-Identity即可。
