Description

一种数据传输的处理方法和装置
本申请要求于2017年5月5日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710314177.2、发明名称为“一种数据传输的处理方法和装置”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
本发明实施例涉及通信技术,尤其涉及一种数据传输的处理方法和装置。
背景技术
目前通信存在各种制式,例如第二代(2G)、第三代(3G)、第四代(4G)通信系统和新无线接入网络,例如全球移动通信(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统,码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统,时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access,TDMA)系统,宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA),频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Addressing,FDMA)系统,正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access,OFDMA)系统,单载波FDMA(SC-FDMA)系统,通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)系统,长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统,通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)以及其他此类通信系统。其中,新无线接入网络能够提供比LTE网络更高的传输速率,新无线接入网络也称为5G网络、下一代网络等。
如图1所示,为现有技术中一种UMTS通信系统的结构示意图,UMTS是采用WCDMA空中接口技术的第三代移动通信系统,采用与第二代移动通信系统类似的结构,通常也把UMTS系统称为WCDMA通信系统。
UMTS系统包括无线接入网络(Radio Access Network,RAN)和核心网络(Core Network,CN)。其中,无线接入网络用于处理所有与无线有关的功能,而CN处理UMTS系统内所有的话音呼叫和数据连接,并实现与外部网络的交换和路由功能。CN从逻辑上分为电路交换域(Circuit Switched Domain,CS)和分组交换域(Packet Switched Domain,PS)。
核心网(CN)包括移动交换中心(Mobile Switching Center,MSC)/访问位置寄存器(Visitor Location Register,VLR),服务GPRS支持节(Serving GPRS(通用分组无线业务,General Packet Radio Service)Support Node,SGSN),归属位置寄存器(Home Location Register,HLR),网关移动业务交换中心(Gateway Mobile-services Switching Centre)和网关GPRS支持节点网(GGSN,Gateway GPRS Support Node,GMSC)等各种网元。通过GMSC或GGSN可以和外部网络连接(External Network),例如,通过GMSC可以和公共陆地移动通信网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN), 公共开关电话网络(Public Switched Telephone Network,PSTN),综合业务数字网(Integrated Services Digital Network,ISDN)等连接,通过GGSN可以和因特网(INTERNET)连接。
用户设备(User Equipment,UE)与通用陆地无线接入网(Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,UTRAN)之间接口为Uu接口,Node B与无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller,RNC)之间通过Iub接口相连。在UTRAN内部,无线网络控制器(RNC)之间通过Iur互联,Iur可以通过RNC之间的直接物理连接或通过传输网连接。UTRAN和CN之间的接口统称为Iu接口,包括Iu-CS接口和Iu-PS接口。
NodeB通过Iub接口和RNC互连,用于完成Uu接口物理层协议的处理,分配和控制与NodeB相连或相关的NodeB的无线资源,完成Iub接口和Uu接口之间的数据流的转换。
RNC用于控制UTRAN的无线资源,主要完成连接建立和断开、切换、宏分集合并、无线资源管理控制等功能。
为保持未来网络的竞争能力,3GPP提出了一种全新的演进网络架构以满足未来十年甚至更长时间内移动网络的应用需求,包括系统架构演进(SAE,system architecture evolution)和接入网的长期演进(LTE,LongTermEvolution),其中演进的接入网称为演进通用陆地无线接入网(E-UTRAN,Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network)。网络演进的目标是希望提供一种低时延、高数据速率、高系统容量和覆盖、低成本、完全基于IP的网络。
如图2所示,为现有技术演进的分组核心网络架构示意图,所述演进的分组核心网络可以包括移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)、服务SAE网关(Serving SAE GW)以及数据封包网路闸道器(PDN(Packet Data Network)SAE GW)三个逻辑功能实体。
其中,MME负责控制面的移动性管理,包括用户上下文和移动状态管理,分配用户临时身份标识等,对应于当前GPRS/UMTS系统内部服务GPRS支持节SGSN的控制平面部分。
Serving SAE GW负责空闲状态下为下行数据发起寻呼,管理保存IP承载参数和网络内路由信息等,对应于当前GPRS/UMTS系统内部SGSN和网关GPRS支持节点网(GGSN,Gateway GPRS Support Node)的数据平面部分。
PDN SAE GW则充当不同接入系统间的用户面锚点。
策略和计费规则功能实体(Policy and Charging Rule Function,PCRF)用于策略控制决定和流计费控制功能。
归属网络服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)用于存储用户签约信息。
随着接收端需求和技术的飞速发展,第五代移动通信(the 5th Generation mobile communication technology,5G)系统或者新无线接入技术(New radio,NR)即将到来,5G系统或NR系统能够提供比长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)网络更快的传输 速率,其最高理论传输速率可达每秒数十吉字节(Gigabyte,简称Gb)。
所述新通信系统为5G或下一代通信系统,包括下一代核心网(NG Core)和基站(gNB),其中,所述gNB一般包括无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)层、分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路层控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体介入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层和物理层(Physical Layer,PHY)。
所述gNB也可以采用采用集中式单元(Centralized Unit,CU)和分布式单元(Distributed Unit,DU)架构,所述CU和DU通过有线或无线通信,所述DU与接收端通过空口通信,接收端在同一个或不同的DU下的不同小区进行移动。
如果所述gNB采用CU-DU架构,CU和DU功能的划分存在多种可能,其中一种功能划分方式可以如图3所示,为现有技术中采用CU-DU架构的gNB的结构示意图,CU包括RRC层和PDCP层,DU包括RLC层、MAC层和PHY层。
CU设备一般负责集中式无线资源和连接管理控制,DU设备一般包含实现分布式用户面处理功能,主要处理物理层功能和实时性需求较高的层2(Layer 2)功能。
CU设备处理无线高层协议栈功能,例如RRC层,PDCP层等,甚至也能够支持部分核心网功能下沉至接入网,称作边缘计算网络,能够满足未来通信网络对于新兴业务例如视频,网购,虚拟/增强现实对于网络时延的更高要求。
CU涵盖无线接入网高层协议栈以及核心网的一部分功能,而DU涵盖了基带处理的物理层以及层2部分功能,CU可以集中式的布放,DU布放取决实际网络环境,核心城区,话务密度较高,站间距较小,机房资源受限的区域,例如高校,大型演出场馆等,DU也可以集中式布放,而话务较稀疏,站间距较大等区域,例如郊县,山区等区域,DU可以采取分布式的布放方式。
不同业务对服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)要求不同,例如QoS等级标识(QoS Class Identifier,QCI)为1~4表示用于需要保证带宽的业务,这部分QCI被用于保证带宽保证速率(Guaranteed bit rate,GBR)的业务,这种业务一般是需持续相等带宽传送的业务,如视频或者音频类业务。QCI为5~9用于不需要进行带宽保障的业务,虽然不需要保证带宽,但这部分业务对时延要求可能非常高,如QCI为5的IMS信令消息,IMS信令消息用于VoLTE语音通话的控制(例如,建立、释放、保持等),对时延非常敏感。
以H.264视频编码为例,视频传输包括画面组(Group of Pictures,GOP),一个GOP就是一组连续的画面,也就是一个序列。一个序列是一段图像编码后的数据流。在H264协议里定义了三种帧,完整编码的帧叫I帧(帧内编码帧,表示关键帧);参考之前的I帧生成的只包含差异部分编码的帧叫P帧,P帧表示的是本帧跟之前的一个关键帧(或P帧)的差别,解码时需要用之前缓存的画面叠加上本帧定义的差别,生成最终画面;还有一种参考前后的帧编码的帧叫B帧,B帧是双向差别帧,也就是B帧记录的是本帧与前后帧的差别。
一般来说,可靠传输的业务承载在RLC确定模式(RLC Acknowledged Mode,RLC AM)的AM RLC实体中,比如缓存视频下载。对于实时性要求高的业务承载在RLC非确定模式(RLC Unacknowledged Mode,RLC UM)模式的UM RLC实体中,比如实时视频或语音。
但是,当实时视频采用RLC UM模式时,如果传输层的实时流媒体协议(Real-Time Stream Protocol,RSTP)层、实时传输协议(Real-time Transport Protocol。RTP)层或用户数据报协议(User Datagram Protocol,UDP)层的数据包在空口发送失败,应用层重传过晚会导致QoS体验差。当缓存视频采用RLC AM模式,当某P帧或其中的分段重传最大次数后导致RLC重建,即使收到I帧也无不能用,当I帧或其中分段重传最大次数后导致无线链路失败,只能进行重建,导致中断时延长。
因为,现有技术的数据传输不可靠或者时延太长影响用户的体验。

在本发明的另一实施例中,如果一个PDCP实体采用至少两个逻辑信道,UM RLC或AM RLC实体的不同LCH具有不同的优先级,所述发送器1123用于发送上行BSR时优先上报AM RLC实体的待发送数据量或根据LCH优先级由高向低上报LCH的待发送数据量。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述至少两个不同的RLC实体均采用RLC AM或RLC UM,且所述至少两个不同的RLC实体分别配置不同时长的定时器(可以称为t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器),每个t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器用于所述终端设备的采用RLC AM或RLC UM的RLC实体接收端检测所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU是否丢失。例如,所述终端设备PDCP实体对应的其中一个RLC实体发现未接收到所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU,该RLC实体启动其配置的t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时,触发所述发送器1123向所述接入网设备发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,例如包括已经丢失的所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU的序列号和/或包括成功接收的所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU的序列号。例如,所述采用RLC AM或RLC UM的RLC实体接收端确定在该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时时是否有收到该未接收到的RLC PDU,如果所述RLC实体没有收到该未接收到的RLC PDU,所述处理器1122确定所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU丢失,然后所述发送器1123向所述接入网设备发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,例如包括未收到的所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU的序列号。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述至少两个不同的RLC实体均采用RLC AM,且所述至少两个不同的RLC实体中的至少一个RLC实体配置定时器(可以称为继续等待定时器),每个所述继续等待定时器用于其对应的RLC实体继续等待接收其发送的状态报告中指示的未收到的所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU。例如,配置继续等待定时器的RLC实体在t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时时或根据所述接入网设备发送 的状态报告发送请求,所述发送器1123向所述接入网设备发送状态报告,所述配置继续等待定时器的RLC实体启动其配置的继续等待定时器,在该继续等待定时器的时长内继续接收所述未收到的RLC PDU,确定未收到的RLC PDU是否能在该继续等待定时器超时之前收到,其中,所述状态报告包括该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,例如包括未收到的所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU的序列号。如果该继续等待定时器超时时,所述配置继续等待定时器的RLC实体还是没有收到该未收到的RLC PDU,所述处理器1122确定所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU丢失,所述发送器1123向所述接入网设备发送最新的状态报告,所述最新的状态报告包括该继续等待定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述处理器1122在继续等待定时器超时时,进行接收窗口的推窗,以便所述接收器1121接收所述接入网设备下次发送的RLC PDU,所述发送器1123通知所述接入网设备所述终端设备已推窗,具体推窗的描述,请参靠后续推窗实施例的描述。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述接收器1121还用于接收所述接入网设备给所述终端设备的AM RLC实体配置的第一最大重传次数,所述终端设备的AM RLC实体发送RLC PDU后,如果所述接收器1121收到所述接入网设备发送的NACK,所述发送器1123重传RLC PDU,如果重传达到所述第一最大重传次数后依然没有成功发送所述RLC PDU,则丢弃所述重传RLC PDU,所述发送器1123不通知所述接入网设备触发RLC重建,即不作为RLF判断的依据。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述接收器1121还用于接收所述接入网设备给所述终端设备的AM RLC实体配置的第二最大重传次数,所述终端设备的AM RLC实体发送RLC PDU后,如果所述接收器1121收到所述接入网设备发送的NACK,所述发送器1123重传RLC PDU,如果重传达到所述第二最大重传次数后依然没有成功发送所述RLC PDU,则丢弃所述重传RLC PDU,所述发送器1123通知所述接入网设备触发RLC重建。
上述实施例中,由于所述终端设备的一个PDCP实体映射到至少两个不同的RLC实体,所述终端设备的PDCP实体可以根据数据流的类型或QoS需求选择用不同的RLC实体进行数据传输,保证不同业务的正常传输,在保障业务体验的同时提高可靠性。
如图12所示,为本发明另一实施例的另一种数据传输的处理方法的流程示意图,通信系统包括接入网设备和终端设备,所述接入网设备与终端设备通过空口通信,所述接入网设备可以是2G/3G/4G的基站或5G通信系统中的gNB,所述接入网设备与终端设备的其中一方为发送端,另一方为接收端,例如当所述接入网设备为发送端时,所述终端设备为接收端,反之亦然。所述接入网设备的RLC层与终端设备的RLC层采用RLC AM模式。
步骤121,接收端确定最高接收状态变量VR(H)的值大于接收状态变量VR(R) 的值,启动第一定时器,设置状态变量VR(X)的值。
所述接收端保存有几个变量,例如VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X),所述接收端每次接收所述发送端发送的一个RLC PDU时,都需要确定VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值和进行VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小判断,例如,所述接收端收到所述发送端发送的一个RLC PDU时,确定所述VR(H)的值是否大于所述VR(R)的值并启动所述第一定时器(可以称为t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器),所述VR(H)的值表示RLC PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,所述VR(R)的值表示RLC PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时所述接收端期望接收的RLC PDU对应的序列号,所述VR(X)的值表示RLC PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。
例如,在一个接收窗口内,所述接收端依次接收所述发送端发送第一RLC PDU、第二RLC PDU和第三RLC PDU,其中,所述第一RLC PDU的序列号为1,所述第二RLC PDU的序列号为2,所述第三RLC PDU的序列号为3,则当前接收窗口的下边界为期待接收所述第一RLC PDU的接收时间点。
如图13所示,为本发明另一实施例的一种数据传输过程数据状态示意图,即接收端接收RLC PDU时的VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值变化过程示意图。
所述接收端未接收所述发送端的RLC PDU之前,期望接收序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,当前没有接收到任何RLC PDU,即设置VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的初始变量值为:初始VR(R)=1,初始VR(H)=1和初始VR(X)=1。
所述接收端在接收所述第一RLC PDU时,需要确定VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值和进行VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小判断,如果所述接收端成功接收序列号为1所述第一RLC PDU,则所述接收端期望收到序列号为2的所述第二RLC PDU,即VR(R)=2,VR(H)=2,设置VR(X)=2,所述接收端判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R);如果所述接收端未成功接收所述第一RLC PDU,则所述接收端期望收到序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,即VR(R)=1,VR(H)=1,设置VR(X)=1,所述接收端判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R)。
所述接收端在成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU之后,继续接收所述第二RLC PDU,如果所述接收端成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,则当前已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为3的第三RLC PDU,即VR(R)=3,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述接收端判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R);如果所述接收端未成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,则当前已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为1的第一RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,即VR(R)=2,VR(H)=2,设置VR(X)=2,所述接收端判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R)。
所述接收端在未成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU之后,继续接收所述第二RLC PDU,如果所述接收端成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,当前已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为1的第一RLC PDU, 即VR(R)=1,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述接收端判断所述VR(H)大于所述VR(R);如果所述接收端未成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,当前未成功接收到任何RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为1的第一RLC PDU,即VR(R)=1,VR(H)=1,设置VR(X)=1,所述接收端判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R)。
针对所述第三RLC PDU的接收后的VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值的确定和VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小的判断,类似于所述第二RLC PDU的接收后VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值的确定和VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小的判断,在此不再赘述。
所述接收端判断所述VR(H)大于所述VR(R)时,即所述接收端当前成功接收所述第二RLC PDU但没有成功接收所述第一RLC PDU,亦可以称为成功接收当前RLC PDU之前存在接收RLC PDU的空洞,针对所述没有成功接收的所述第一RLC PDU启动所述第一定时器(可以称为t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器),启动所述第一定时器时,VR(R)=1,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述第一定时器用于所述接收端在所述第一定时器的时长内继续接收所述第一RLC PDU,所述接收端在所述第一定时器超时时判断是否成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU。
在本发明的另一实施例中,在所述第一定时器的时长内,也即所述第一定时器超时之前,所述接收端还可以接收所述所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,例如所述第三RLC PDU以及所述第三RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU。
步骤122,所述第一定时器超时,所述接收端发送状态报告,启动第二定时器,所述状态报告指示丢失的至少一个RLC PDU的序列号。
所述第一定时器超时,如果所述接收端成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU,则所述接收端在所述第一定时器超时时已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为3的第三RLC PDU,即VR(R)=3,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述接收端判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R),可选的,所述接收端向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,例如包括已经成功接收所述第一RLC PDU的序列号和成功接收所述第二RLC PDU的序列号。
所述第一定时器超时,如果所述接收端还是未成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU,所述接收端确定丢失所述第一RLC PDU,所述接收端发送状态报告,启动所述第二定时器(可以称为继续等待定时器),所述状态报告指示丢失的所述第一RLC PDU的序列号。所述第二定时器用于所述接收端继续等待接收其发送的状态报告中指示的未收到的所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU,例如,所述接收端在该第二定时器的时长内继续接收所述未收到的第一RLC PDU,确定所述未收到的第一RLC PDU是否能在该第二定时器超时之前收到。
由于在所述第一定时器的时长内,所述接收端还可以接收所述所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,例如所述第三RLC PDU以及所述第三RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU。
当所述第一定时器超时时,如果所述接收端接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU为连续接收,例如,所述接收端在所述第一定时器超时时已成功连续接收到最高序列号等于N的RLC PDU,所述N为大于或等于3的正整数,此时,所述接收端期待接收的RLC PDU还是序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,但所述接收端在所述第一定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为N,则所述接收端设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=N,VR(X)=N,所述接收端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。
当所述第一定时器超时时,如果所述接收端接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU为非连续接收,例如,所述接收端在所述第一定时器超时时接收最高序列号等于N的RLC PDU,所述N为大于或等于3的正整数,但在所述序列号为N之前存在有未接收到至少一个RLC PDU,假设已经成功接收的序列号为2的所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU的序列号为M,所述M为大于或等于3的正整数,所述M小于或等于N;在所述第一定时器超时时,所述接收端期待接收的RLC PDU还是序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,如果所述M小于N,即序列号为N的RLC PDU成功接收,而序列号为M的RLC PDU所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述接收端在所述第一定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为N,则所述接收端设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=N+1,VR(X)=N+1;如果所述M等于N,即序列号为N/M的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述接收端在所述第一定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为N-1,则所述接收端设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=(N-1)+1,VR(X)=(N-1)+1。所述接收端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息
在本发明的另一实施例中,在所述第二定时器的时长内,也即所述第二定时器超时之前,所述接收端还可以接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,例如所述第三RLC PDU以及所述第三RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU。
步骤123,所述第二定时器超时,所述接收端设置所述VR(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于所述VR(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,设置所述VR(X)的值为所述第二定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。
所述第二定时器超时时,如果所述接收端还是没有收到该未收到的第一RLC PDU,所述接收端确定所述发送端发送的第一RLC PDU丢失,可选的,向所述接入网设备发送最新的状态报告或移动窗口指示信息,则所述接收端将所述第二定时器超时时的接收窗口的下边界移到或设置下一个期待接收(也即未接收到)的发送端发送的RLC PDU的接收时间点,该过程称为接收窗口的下边界移动。
由于在所述第二定时器的时长内,也即所述第二定时器超时之前,所述接收端还可以接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,当接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU存在不连续接收时,即又出现一个丢失的RLC PDU,所以当所述第二定时器超时时,所述接收端对接收窗口的下边界移动的VR(R)、VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值设置为:所 述接收端设置所述VR(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于所述第一定时器启动时所述VR(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,设置所述VR(H)的值为所述第二定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,设置所述VR(X)的值为所述第二定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。也即所述接收端不再等待接收所述第一RLC PDU,而将接收窗口的下边界移到所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU(即所述第二RLC PDU)之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU的接收序列号。所述接收端发送状态报告或窗口移动指示信息,所述状态报告包括所述第二定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,所述窗口移动指示信息包括终端最新期待接收的RLC PDU的序列号,即当前的VR(R)的序列号。
例如,当所述第二定时器超时时,如果所述接收端接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU为非连续接收,例如,所述接收端在所述第二定时器超时时接收最高序列号等于K的RLC PDU,所述K为大于或等于3的正整数,但在所述序列号为K之前存在有未接收到至少一个RLC PDU,例如,所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的具有最高序列号的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU,假设所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU的序列号为L,所述L为大于或等于3的正整数,所述L小于或等于K;在所述第二定时器超时时,所述接收端进行接收窗口的下边界移动,即将接收窗口的下边界移到所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU的接收时间点。例如,如果所述L小于K,即序列号为K的RLC PDU为所述第二定时器超时时成功接收的最高序列号的RLC PDU,而序列号为L的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述接收端设置VR(R)=L,VR(H)=K+1,VR(X)=K+1;如果所述L等于K,即序列号为L/K的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述接收端在所述第二定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为L/K-1,则所述接收端设置VR(R)=L/K,VR(H)=(L/K-1)+1,VR(X)=(L/K-1)+1。也即所述接收端不再等待接收所述第一RLC PDU,而将接收窗口的下边界从期待接收的所述第一RLC PDU的接收时间点移到到所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高为2的第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU的接收时间点,即将VR(R)=1修改为VR(R)=L/K。所述接收端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第二定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息
在本发明的另一实施例中,在所述第一定时器超时之前,接收端确定接收到的RLC PDU的序列号在第一定时器启动时的VR(X)的值到当前VR(H)的值之间存在不连续,启动第三定时器,所述第三定时器用于接收端确定第一定时器启动时的VR(X)的值到当前VR(H)的值之间缺失的序列号对应的RLC PDU是否丢失。
例如,针对所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU(例如,所述第二RLC PDU)之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU(例如,所述序列号为M的RLC PDU,记为RLC PDU SN=M),所述接收端也同样启动一个t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,即第三定时器,例如,所述接收端在所述第三定时器确定是否丢失 所述序列号为M的RLC PDU。应理解,M的RLC PDU可能为分段或完整的RLC PDU。在本发明的另一实施例中,所述第一定时器的时长等于所述第三定时器的时长,或者,所述第一定时器的时长不等于所述第三定时器的时长。应理解,一种实施方式,所述第三定时器就是第一定时器,终端设备同时存在多个第一定时器在运行,分别管理或等待不同的范围的RLC PDU。
例如,在所述第一定时器超时时,所述接收端启动所述第三定时器,针对所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU(例如,所述第二RLC PDU)之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU(例如,所述序列号为M的RLC PDU),设置VR1(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于启动第一定时器时所设置的所述VR(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,例如VR1(R)=M,设置所述VR1(X)的值为所述第一定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,例如VR1(X)=N+1。所述接收端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。
在所述第三定时器超时时,可选的,发送状态报告,所述状态报告指示所述序列号为M的RLC PDU已丢失,启动一个继续等待定时器,即第四定时器,第四定时器超时,设置所述VR(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于启动第三定时器时所设置的所述VR1(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,设置所述VR(X)的值为所述第三定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。所述接收端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第三定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。一种实施方式,当在所述第三定时器超时时,若接收窗口的接收的RLC PDU的状态没有更新或者已经收到状态报告中指示的未收到的RLC PDU,终端设备可不发送状态报告。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述第四定时器用于所述接收端针对所述已经丢失序列号为M的RLC PDU继续在所述第四定时器的时长内等待接收,在所述第四定时器超时时确定是否有收到所述序列号为M的RLC PDU,如果没有收到,确定所述序列号为M的RLC PDU丢失,并进行接收窗口的下边界移动,例如,将所述VR1(R)设置为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于启动第三定时器时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU的序列号,设置VR1(X)的值为所述第四定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,设置VR1(H)的值为所述第四定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。所述接收端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第四定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。
上述实施例中,对于启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器的未成功接收的RLC PDU,在该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时之前,一旦所述接收端成功接收该未成功接收的RLC PDU,所述接收端停止该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器。类似的,对于启动继续等待定时器的未成功接收的RLC PDU,在该继续等待定时器超时之前,一旦所述接收端成功接收该未成功接收的RLC PDU,所述接收端停止该继续等待定时器。应理解,这里包括启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器所检测的所有未成功接收的RLC PDU都成功接收才停止该继续等待定时器。
上述实施例描述的是所述接收端的RLC实体和发送端的RLC实体之间传输RLC PDU数据时如何接收窗口的下边界移动的方案,对于所述接收端的PDCP实体和发送端的PDCD实体之间传输PDCD PDU数据的接收窗口的下边界移动方案,也可以与传输RLC PDU数据的接收窗口的下边界移动方案类似,在此不再赘述。不同的之处在于,所述PDCP层触发的是PDCP的状态报告或包含PDCP SN的移动窗口指示信息。应理解,所述PDCP层可以有类似RLC的第一定时器、第二定时器、第三定时器、第四定时器中的至少一个,各个定时器时长可不同于RLC层的定时器时长。当RLC层不做RLC PDU的重排序,只负责分段的RLC PDU的重组,PDCP负责重排序时,该实施例的PDCP层等待和移窗更优选。
本发明的另一种实施方式,对于UM RLC实体对应一个PDCP实体,也采用VR(R)变量,VR(H)变量和VR(X),其中,所述VR(H)的值表示PDCP PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高PDCP PDU对应的序列号加1,所述VR(R)的值表示PDCP PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时所述接收端期望接收的PDCP PDU对应的序列号,所述VR(X)的值表示PDCP PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高PDCP PDU对应的序列号加1。
如果接收端收到接收窗口外的数据包,则修改VR(R)值等于VR(H)减去接收窗口长度,即:VR(R)=VR(H)-接收窗口长度,所述接收窗口长度为固定的能接收的数据包的个数,例如所述接收窗口固定接收n个数据包,n为大于或等于1的正整数,例如n=100,则所述接收窗口长度为100。确定VR(H)大于VR(R)时,设置VR(X),启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,基于t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理重排序窗口(VR(R),VR(X)),例如按照序列号从小到大对接收到PDCP PDU进行排序,所述t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时后将t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理窗口内完整的PDCP SDU向上层递交,将VR(X)设置为V(H),VR(R)设置为大于或等于VR(X)的第一个未收到的包。若收到的PDCP的序列号满足(VR(H)–接收窗口长度)<=PDCP SN<VR(R),则接收端将该PDCP PDU丢弃。
本发明的另一种实施方式,对于AM RLC实体对应一个PDCP实体,如果接收端收到下边界的数据包,即收到序列号为VR(R)值的数据包,则接收端进行接收窗口下边界移动,设置VR(R)=VR(R)+1,设置最大的接收序列号VR(MR)=VR(R)+接收窗口长度。当VR(H)大于VR(R)启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器时长为无穷大。如果接收端收到窗口外的数据包,例如接收端收到序列号为大于VR(MR)的值的PDCP PDU,则丢弃该PDCP PDU。
本发明的另一种实施方式,对于至少两个UM RLC对应一个PDCP,如果接收端收到接收窗口外的数据包,则修改VR(R)值等于VR(H)减去接收窗口长度,即:VR(R)=VR(H)-接收窗口长度。如果VR(H)大于VR(R),设置VR(X),启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,基于t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理重排序窗口(VR(R),VR(X)),例如按照序列号从小到大对接收到PDCP PDU进行排序,所述t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时后不移动窗口,超时后将所述t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理窗口内完整的PDCP SDU向上层递交,将VR(X)设置为 V(H),若收到t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器排序窗口之前的包则丢弃。
本实施例适应不同RLC实体对应的PDCP的推窗,及时推动UM RLC的PDCP窗口,避免AM的PDCP的数据丢失。
上述实施例,针对RLC AM模式的数据传输进行及时接收窗口的下边界移动,可以提高数据传输的可靠性和流畅性。
为了更清楚说明接收窗口的下边界移动,本发明的另一实施例如图14所示,为本发明另一实施例的一种数据传输过程数据状态示意图。
如图14所示,对于一个接收窗口内,接收端接收发送端发送的RLC PDU数据包或PDCP PDU数据包,为描述简化,本实施例中统称数据包。
配置或协议约定一个T1(即为t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器),出现非连续包后启动T1,例如,所述接收端当前接收3号数据包,并接收成功,但发现1号数据包没有接收成功,也即所述接收端当前期望接收序列号为1的数据包,已成功接收最高序列号为3的数据包,因此,VR(R)=1,VR(H)=4,VR(X)=4,所述接收端判断VR(H)>VR(R),此时,所述接收端启动第一T1。
本发明的另一实施例中,对移动窗口管理的区间进行区分,例如,对于所述序列号为1的数据包初始设置VR1(R)=VR(R)=1,VR1(X)=VR(X)=4,VR1(H)=VR(H)=4。所述接收端在所述T1时长内继续接收所述序列号为1的数据包。
配置或协议约定一个定时器T2(即为继续等待定时器),所述第一T1超时之前,所述接收端确定所述序列号为1的数据包是否丢失。
如果所述接收端在所述第一T1超时之前成功接收到之前未成功接收的所述序列号为1的数据包,可选发送状态报告,优选的,在这种情况下,不发送状态报告,停止为之前未接收的数据包启动的所述第一T1,所述接收端继续接收后续数据包,直到又出现一个未成功接收的数据包,即所述接收端判断VR(H)>VR(R),再次针对该新出现的未成功接收数据包启动定时器第二T1。
例如,在所述第一T1超时之前,所述接收端还可以接收3号数据包之后的数据包,如果在启动所述第一T1到所述第一T1超时之间又出现非连续包,也即接收的数据包的序列号大于或等于启动所述第一T1时VR(X)或VR1(X)的值的所有数据包中出现未成功接收的数据包,也即数据包的序列号大于或等于启动所述第一T1时VR(X)的值到序列号为当前VR(X)的值之间的所有接收的数据包为非连续数据包,对于启动第一T1到所述第一T1超时之间第一个未成功接收的数据包启动另一个第二T1。
例如,所述接收端在所述第一T1超时之前已成功接收7号数据包,且2、3和5号数据包已成功接收,但1号、4号、6号数据包未成功接收,即所述接收端期望接收所述序列号为1的数据包,当前已成功接收最高序列号为7的数据包,因此,所述接收端设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=8,VR(X)=4,对于启动第二T1,针对所述第一T1到所述第一T1超时之间第一个未成功接收的4号数据包,所述接收端设置VR1(R)的值为数据包的序列号大于或等于启动所述第一T1时VR(X)或VR1(X)的所有数据包中第一个未成功 接收的数据包的序列号,也即VR1(R)=4,VR1(X)=VR(X)=8,VR1(H)=VR(H)=8,所述接收端判断序列号为VR1(R)=4至VR1(X)=8之间的接收数据包为非连续数据包。
如果所述第一T1超时时,所述接收端还是没有成功接收所述序列号为1的数据包,例如,所述接收端已成功接收7号数据包,且2号、3号和5号数据包已成功接收,但1号、4号和6号数据包未成功接收,所述接收端发送状态报告,启动所述第一T2,该状态报告包含所述第一T1超时时所述接收端接收所有数据包的状态报告,例如所述状态报告指示所述1号、4号和6号数据包未成功接收,所述2号、3号、5号和7号数据包成功接收。所述接收端确定所述序列号为1的数据包在所述第一T1超时时已丢失,所述接收端在所述第一T2时长内继续等待接收所述序列号为1的数据包。所述接收端期望接收的数据包设置为序列号为1的数据包,所述第一T1超时成功接收的数据包的最高序列号为7,所述接收端设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=8,VR(X)=8,VR1(R)=4,VR1(X)=VR(X)=8,VR1(H)=VR(H)=8。
如果所述接收端在所述第一T2超时之前成功接收到之前所有未成功接收的数据包,可选发送状态报告,停止为未接收的数据包启动的所述第二T1以及停止所述第一T2,即对于序列号为VR1(R)的值的数据包停止所述第二T1,序列号为VR(R)的值的数据包停止所述第一T2,所述接收端继续接收后续数据包,直到又出现一个未成功接收的数据包,即所述接收端判断VR(H)>VR(R),再次针对该新出现的未成功接收数据包启动定时器第三T1。
例如,在所述T2超时之前,所述接收端还可以接收7号数据包之后的数据包,如果在启动T2到所述T2超时之间又出现非连续包,也即接收的数据包的序列号大于或等于启动T2时VR(X)或VR1(X)的所有数据包中出现未成功接收的数据包,也即数据包的序列号大于或等于启动T2时VR(X)的值到序列号为当前VR(X)的值之间的所有接收的数据包为非连续数据包,对于启动T2到所述T2超时之间第一个未成功接收的数据包启动另一个第三T1。
例如,所述接收端在所述T2超时之前已成功接收9号数据包,且2、3、4和5号数据包已成功接收,但1号和6号数据包未成功接收,此时,所述接收端停止为序列号为4的数据包启动的第二T1,不停止为序列号为1的数据包启动的第一T2以及为序列号为6的数据包启动的第二T1。应理解,若序列号为4和6号数据包同时发现未成功接收,则第二T1的启动同时针对序列号为4和6号数据包的等待,不必停止针对列号为4的数据包的第二T1,也不必为6号数据包重启动第二T1。
当所述第一T2超时时,所述接收端还是没有成功接收所述序列号为1的数据包,且2、3、4和5号数据包已成功接收,但1号和6号数据包未成功接收,所述接收端将接收窗口的下边界移到启动T1时成功接收序列号最高的数据包之后的所有数据包中第一个未成功接收的数据包,即数据包的序列号大于或等于启动T1时VR(X)的值数据包的所有数据包中第一个未成功接收的数据包的序列号,也即所述接收端将期望接收的数据包设置为序列号为6的数据包,所述第一T2超时成功接收的数据包的最高序列号为9,也即VR(R)=6,VR(H)=10,VR(X)=10,VR1(R)=6,VR1(X)=VR(X)=10,VR1(H)=VR(H)=10,所述接收端判断序列号为VR1(R)=6至VR1(X)=10之间的接收数据包为非 连续数据包。所述接收端发送状态报告,该状态报告包含所述第一T2超时时所述接收端接收所有数据包的状态报告。
若所述接收端收到上边界外的包,沿用AM模式,则丢弃;或者,若沿用UM模式,则更新上边界到窗口外的包,设置VR(R)=VR(H)-AM_Window_Size,设置VR(X)=VR(H)。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述接收端配置上行最大重传次数,且最大重传次数后不触发RLC复位。
如图15所示,为本发明另一实施例的另一种数据传输处理装置的结构示意图,通信系统包括接入网设备和终端设备,所述接入网设备与终端设备通过空口通信,所述接入网设备可以是2G/3G/4G的基站或5G通信系统中的gNB,所述接入网设备的RLC层与终端设备的RLC层采用RLC AM模式,所述接入网设备与终端设备的其中一方为发送端,另一方为接收端,例如当所述接入网设备为发送端时,所述终端设备为接收端,反之亦然,本实施例中,所述接收端为所述数据传输处理装置,所述数据传输处理装置包括接收器151、处理器152、发送器153和存储器154,其中,所述接收器151、处理器152、发送器153和存储器154相互之间通过总线通信。
在本申请实施例中,该处理器152可以是EPLD、FPGA、DSP芯片、ASIC、或者其他可编程逻辑器件、分立门或者晶体管逻辑器件、分立硬件组件等。
所述存储器154用于存储代码或指令信息,还可以存储设备类型的信息。该存储器154可以包括ROM和RAM,用于向所述处理器152提供指令和数据。所述存储器154的一部分还可以包括非易失性随机存取存储器。
所述处理器152用于确定最高接收状态变量VR(H)的值大于接收状态变量VR(R)的值,启动第一定时器,设置状态变量VR(X)的值。
所述存储器154保存有几个变量,例如VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X),所述接收器151每次接收所述发送端发送的一个RLC PDU时,所述处理器152都需要确定VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值和进行VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小判断,例如,所述接收器151收到所述发送端发送的一个RLC PDU时,所述处理器152确定所述VR(H)的值是否大于所述VR(R)的值并启动所述第一定时器(可以称为t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器),所述VR(H)的值表示RLC PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,所述VR(R)的值表示RLC PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时所述接收器151期望接收的RLC PDU对应的序列号,所述VR(X)的值表示RLC PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。
例如,在一个接收窗口内,所述接收器151依次接收所述发送端发送第一RLC PDU、第二RLC PDU和第三RLC PDU,其中,所述第一RLC PDU的序列号为1,所述第二RLC PDU的序列号为2,所述第三RLC PDU的序列号为3,则当前接收窗口的下边界为期待接收所述第一RLC PDU的接收时间点。
如图13所示,所述接收器151未接收所述发送端的RLC PDU之前,期望接收序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,当前没有接收到任何RLC PDU,即设置VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的初始变量值为:初始VR(R)=1,初始VR(H)=1和初始VR(X)=1。
所述接收器151在接收所述第一RLC PDU时,所述处理器152需要确定VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值和进行VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小判断,如果所述接收器151成功接收序列号为1所述第一RLC PDU,则所述接收器151期望收到序列号为2的所述第二RLC PDU,即VR(R)=2,VR(H)=2,设置VR(X)=2,所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R);如果所述接收器151未成功接收所述第一RLC PDU,则所述接收器151期望收到序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,即VR(R)=1,VR(H)=1,设置VR(X)=1,所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R)。
所述接收器151在成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU之后,继续接收所述第二RLC PDU,如果所述接收器151成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,则当前已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为3的第三RLC PDU,即VR(R)=3,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R);如果所述接收器151未成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,则当前已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为1的第一RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,即VR(R)=2,VR(H)=2,设置VR(X)=2,所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R)。
所述接收器151在未成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU之后,继续接收所述第二RLC PDU,如果所述接收器151成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,当前已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为1的第一RLC PDU,即VR(R)=1,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)大于所述VR(R);如果所述接收器151未成功接收所述第二RLC PDU,当前未成功接收到任何RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为1的第一RLC PDU,即VR(R)=1,VR(H)=1,设置VR(X)=1,所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R)。
针对所述第三RLC PDU的接收后的VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值的确定和VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小的判断,类似于所述第二RLC PDU的接收后VR(R),VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值的确定和VR(H)和VR(R)相互之间的变量值大小的判断,在此不再赘述。
所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)大于所述VR(R)时,即所述接收器151当前成功接收所述第二RLC PDU但没有成功接收所述第一RLC PDU,亦可以称为成功接收当前RLC PDU之前存在接收RLC PDU的空洞,针对所述没有成功接收的所述第一RLC PDU启动所述第一定时器(可以称为t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器),所述处理器152启动所述第一定时器时,VR(R)=1,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述第一定时器用于所述接收器151在所述第一定时器的时长内继续接收所述第一RLC PDU,所述处理器152在所述第一定时器超时时判断是否成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU。
在本发明的另一实施例中,在所述第一定时器的时长内,所述接收器151还可 以接收所述所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,例如所述第三RLC PDU以及所述第三RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU。
所述发送器153用于在所述第一定时器超时,向发送端发送状态报告,所述处理器152还用于启动第二定时器,所述状态报告指示丢失的至少一个RLC PDU的序列号。
所述第一定时器超时,如果所述接收器151成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU,则所述接收器151在所述第一定时器超时时已成功接收到的最高RLC PDU为序列号为2的第二RLC PDU,期望收到的RLC PDU为序列号为3的第三RLC PDU,即VR(R)=3,VR(H)=3,设置VR(X)=3,所述处理器152判断所述VR(H)等于所述VR(R),可选的,所述发送器153向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,例如包括已经成功接收所述第一RLC PDU的序列号和成功接收所述第二RLC PDU的序列号。
所述第一定时器超时,如果所述接收器151还是未成功接收到所述第一RLC PDU,所述处理器152确定丢失所述第一RLC PDU,所述发送器153发送状态报告,所述处理器152启动所述第二定时器(可以称为继续等待定时器),所述状态报告指示丢失的所述第一RLC PDU的序列号。所述第二定时器用于所述接收器151继续等待接收其发送的状态报告中指示的未收到的所述接入网设备发送的RLC PDU,例如,所述处理器152在该第二定时器的时长内继续接收所述未收到的第一RLC PDU,确定所述未收到的第一RLC PDU是否能在该第二定时器超时之前收到。
由于在所述第一定时器的时长内,所述接收器151还可以接收所述所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,例如所述第三RLC PDU以及所述第三RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU。
当所述第一定时器超时时,如果所述接收器151接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU为连续接收,例如,所述接收器151在所述第一定时器超时时已成功连续接收到最高序列号等于N的RLC PDU,所述N为大于或等于3的正整数,此时,所述接收器151期待接收的RLC PDU还是序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,但所述接收器151在所述第一定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为N,则所述处理器152设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=N,VR(X)=N,所述发送器153发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。
当所述第一定时器超时时,如果所述接收器151接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU为非连续接收,例如,所述接收器151在所述第一定时器超时时接收最高序列号等于N的RLC PDU,所述N为大于或等于3的正整数,但在所述序列号为N之前存在有未接收到至少一个RLC PDU,假设已经成功接收的序列号为2的所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU的序列号为M,所述M为大于或等于3的正整数,所述M小于或等于N;在所述第一定时器超时时,所述接收器151期待接收的RLC PDU还是序列号为1的所述第一RLC PDU,如果所述M小于N,即序列号为N的RLC PDU成功接收,而序列号为M的RLC PDU所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一 个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述接收器151在所述第一定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为N,则所述处理器152设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=N+1,VR(X)=N+1;如果所述M等于N,即序列号为N/M的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述接收器151在所述第一定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为N-1,则所述处理器152设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=(N-1)+1,VR(X)=(N-1)+1。所述发送器153向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息
在本发明的另一实施例中,在所述第二定时器的时长内,所述接收器151还可以接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,例如所述第三RLC PDU以及所述第三RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU。
所述处理器152还用于在所述第二定时器超时,设置所述VR(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于所述VR(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,设置所述VR(X)的值为所述第二定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。
所述第二定时器超时时,如果所述接收器151还是没有收到该未收到的第一RLC PDU,所述处理器152确定所述发送端发送的第一RLC PDU丢失,可选的,向所述接入网设备发送最新的状态报告或移动窗口指示信息,则所述处理器152将所述第二定时器超时时的接收窗口的下边界移到或设置下一个期待接收(也即未接收到)的发送端发送的RLC PDU的接收时间点,该过程称为接收窗口的下边界移动。
由于在所述第二定时器的时长内,所述接收器151还可以接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU,当接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU存在不连续接收时,即又出现一个丢失的RLC PDU,所以当所述第二定时器超时时,所述处理器152对接收窗口的下边界移动的VR(R)、VR(H)和VR(X)的变量值设置为:设置所述VR(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于所述第一定时器启动时所述VR(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,设置所述VR(H)的值为所述第二定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,设置所述VR(X)的值为所述第二定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。也即所述接收器151不再等待接收所述第一RLC PDU,而将接收窗口的下边界移到所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU(即所述第二RLC PDU)之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU的接收序列号。所述发送器153向所述发送端发送状态报告或窗口移动指示信息,所述状态报告包括所述第二定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,所述窗口移动指示信息包括终端最新期待接收的RLC PDU的序列号,即当前的VR(R)的序列号。
例如,当所述第二定时器超时时,如果所述接收器151接收所述第二RLC PDU之后的RLC PDU为非连续接收,例如,所述接收器151在所述第二定时器超时时接收最高序列号等于K的RLC PDU,所述K为大于或等于3的正整数,但在所述序列号为K之前存在有未接收到至少一个RLC PDU,例如,所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的具有最高序列号的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU,假设所述第二RLC PDU之后 的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU的序列号为L,所述L为大于或等于3的正整数,所述L小于或等于K;在所述第二定时器超时时,所述处理器152进行接收窗口的下边界移动,即将接收窗口的下边界移到所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU的接收时间点。例如,如果所述L小于K,即序列号为K的RLC PDU为所述第二定时器超时时成功接收的最高序列号的RLC PDU,而序列号为L的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述处理器152设置VR(R)=L,VR(H)=K+1,VR(X)=K+1;如果所述L等于K,即序列号为L/K的RLC PDU为所述第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU,则所述接收器151在所述第二定时器超时时已经成功接收的RLC PDU的最高序列号为L/K-1,则所述处理器152设置VR(R)=L/K,VR(H)=(L/K-1)+1,VR(X)=(L/K-1)+1。也即所述接收器151不再等待接收所述第一RLC PDU,而将接收窗口的下边界从期待接收的所述第一RLC PDU的接收时间点移到到所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高为2的第二RLC PDU之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU的接收时间点,即将VR(R)=1修改为VR(R)=L/K。所述发送器153向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第二定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息
在本发明的另一实施例中,在所述第一定时器超时之前,所述处理器152确定接收到的RLC PDU的序列号在第一定时器启动时的VR(X)的值到当前VR(H)的值之间存在不连续,启动第三定时器,所述第三定时器用于所述处理器152确定缺失的序列号对应的RLC PDU是否丢失。
例如,针对所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU(例如,所述第二RLC PDU)之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU(例如,所述序列号为M的RLC PDU,记为RLC PDU SN=M),所述处理器152也同样启动一个t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,即第三定时器,例如,所述处理器152在所述第三定时器确定是否丢失所述序列号为M的RLC PDU。应理解,M的RLC PDU可能为分段或完整的RLC PDU。在本发明的另一实施例中,所述第一定时器的时长等于所述第三定时器的时长,或者,所述第一定时器的时长不等于所述第三定时器的时长。应理解,一种实施方式,所述第三定时器就是第一定时器,终端设备同时存在多个第一定时器在运行,分别管理或等待不同的范围的RLC PDU。
例如,在所述第一定时器超时时,所述处理器152启动所述第三定时器,针对所述第一定时器启动时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU(例如,所述第二RLC PDU)之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU(例如,所述序列号为M的RLC PDU),设置VR1(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于启动第一定时器时所设置的所述VR(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,例如VR1(R)=M,设置所述VR1(X)的值为所述第一定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,例如VR1(X)=N+1。所述发送器153向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。
在所述第三定时器超时时,可选的,发送状态报告,所述状态报告指示所述序 列号为M的RLC PDU已丢失,启动一个继续等待定时器,即第四定时器,第四定时器超时,设置所述VR(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于启动第三定时器时所设置的所述VR1(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号对应的所有RLC PDU中第一个未接收到RLC PDU的序列号,设置所述VR(X)的值为所述第三定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。所述发送器153向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第三定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。一种实施方式,当在所述第三定时器超时时,若接收窗口的接收的RLC PDU的状态没有更新或者已经收到状态报告中指示的未收到的RLC PDU,终端设备可不发送状态报告。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述第四定时器用于所述接收器151针对所述已经丢失序列号为M的RLC PDU继续在所述第四定时器的时长内等待接收,在所述第四定时器超时时确定是否有收到所述序列号为M的RLC PDU,如果没有收到,确定所述序列号为M的RLC PDU丢失,并进行接收窗口的下边界移动,例如,将所述VR1(R)设置为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于启动第三定时器时已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU的序列号,设置VR1(X)的值为所述第四定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1,设置VR1(H)的值为所述第四定时器超时时已收到的最高RLC PDU对应的序列号加1。所述发送器153向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括所述第四定时器超时时所述接收器151接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息。
上述实施例中,对于启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器的未成功接收的RLC PDU,在该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时之前,一旦所述接收器151成功接收该未成功接收的RLC PDU,所述处理器152停止该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器。类似的,对于启动继续等待定时器的未成功接收的RLC PDU,在该继续等待定时器超时之前,一旦所述接收器151成功接收该未成功接收的RLC PDU,所述处理器152停止该继续等待定时器。应理解,这里包括启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器所检测的所有未成功接收的RLC PDU都成功接收才停止该继续等待定时器。
上述实施例描述的是所述接收端的RLC实体和发送端的RLC实体之间传输RLC PDU数据时如何接收窗口的下边界移动的方案,对于所述接收端的PDCP实体和发送端的PDCD实体之间传输PDCD PDU数据的接收窗口的下边界移动方案,也可以与传输RLC PDU数据的接收窗口的下边界移动方案类似,在此不再赘述。不同的之处在于,所述PDCP层触发的是PDCP的状态报告或包含PDCP SN的移动窗口指示信息。应理解,所述PDCP层可以有类似RLC的第一定时器、第二定时器、第三定时器、第四定时器中的至少一个,各个定时器时长可不同于RLC层的定时器时长。当RLC层不做RLC PDU的重排序,只负责分段的RLC PDU的重组,PDCP负责重排序时,该实施例的PDCP层等待和移窗更优选。
本发明的另一种实施方式,对于UM RLC实体对应一个PDCP实体,也采用VR(R)变量,VR(H)变量和VR(X),其中,所述VR(H)的值表示PDCP PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高PDCP PDU对应的序列号加1,所述VR(R)的值表 示PDCP PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时所述接收端期望接收的PDCP PDU对应的序列号,所述VR(X)的值表示PDCP PDU的序列号且为启动第一定时器时已收到的最高PDCP PDU对应的序列号加1。
如果所述接收器151收到接收窗口外的数据包,则所述处理器152修改VR(R)值等于VR(H)减去接收窗口长度,即:VR(R)=VR(H)-接收窗口长度,所述接收窗口长度为固定的能接收的数据包的个数,例如所述接收窗口固定接收n个数据包,n为大于或等于1的正整数,例如n=100,则所述接收窗口长度为100。所述处理器152确定VR(H)大于VR(R)时,设置VR(X),启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,基于t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理重排序窗口(VR(R),VR(X)),例如按照序列号从小到大对接收到PDCP PDU进行排序,所述发送器153在所述t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时后将t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理窗口内完整的PDCP SDU向上层递交,所述处理器152将VR(X)设置为V(H),VR(R)设置为大于或等于VR(X)的第一个未收到的包。若所述接收器151收到的PDCP的序列号满足(VR(H)–接收窗口长度)<=PDCP SN<VR(R),则所述接收器151将该PDCP PDU丢弃。
本发明的另一种实施方式,对于AM RLC实体对应一个PDCP实体,如果所述接收器151收到下边界的数据包,即收到序列号为VR(R)值的数据包,则所述处理器152进行接收窗口下边界移动,设置VR(R)=VR(R)+1,设置最大的接收序列号VR(MR)=VR(R)+接收窗口长度。当所述处理器152确定VR(H)大于VR(R)时,启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,该t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器时长为无穷大。如果所述接收器151收到窗口外的数据包,例如所述接收器151到序列号为大于VR(MR)的值的PDCP PDU,则丢弃该PDCP PDU。
本发明的另一种实施方式,对于至少两个UM RLC对应一个PDCP,如果所述接收器151收到接收窗口外的数据包,则所述处理器152修改VR(R)值等于VR(H)减去接收窗口长度,即:VR(R)=VR(H)-接收窗口长度。如果所述处理器152确定VR(H)大于VR(R),设置VR(X),启动t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,基于t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理重排序窗口(VR(R),VR(X)),例如按照序列号从小到大对接收到PDCP PDU进行排序,所述t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器超时后不移动窗口,所述发送器153在超时后将所述t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器管理窗口内完整的PDCP SDU向上层递交,所述处理器152将VR(X)设置为V(H),若所述接收器151收到t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器排序窗口之前的包则丢弃。
本实施例适应不同RLC实体对应的PDCP的推窗,及时推动UM RLC的PDCP窗口,避免AM的PDCP的数据丢失。

步骤161,接收端确定最高接收状态变量VR(H)的值大于接收状态变量VR(R)的值时,向发送端发送状态报告,启动第一定时器,设置状态变量VR(X)的值。
所述第一定时器用于接收端检测未成功接收的序列号为VR(R)的值对应的RLC PDU是否丢弃,所述接收端在所述第一定时器的时长内接收所述序列号为VR(R)的值对应的RLC PDU。

步骤163,在所述第一定时器超时时,设置VR(R)的值为RLC PDU序列号大于或等于启动第一定时器时所述VR(X)的值对应的RLC PDU序列号的所有接收RLC PDU中第一个未成功接收的RLC PDU的序列号,并设置所述第一定时器超时时的VR(X)的值为所述第一定时器超时时的VR(H)的值。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述第一定时器或第三定时器超时时,可选向所述发送端发送状态报告或窗口移动指示信息,所述状态报告包括所述第一定时器或第三定时器超时时所述接收端接收所有RLC PDU的状态信息,例如所述状态报告包括未收到的至少一个RLC PDU的序列号。所述窗口移动指示信息包括终端最新期待接收的RLC PDU的序列号,即当前的VR(R)的序列号。
为了更清楚说明接收窗口的下边界移动,本发明的另一实施例如图17所示,为本发明另一实施例的一种数据传输过程数据状态示意图。
如图17所示,对于一个接收窗口内,接收端接收发送端发送的RLC PDU数据包或PDCP PDU数据包,为描述简化,本实施例中统称数据包。
配置或协议约定一个T1,所述接收端确定出现非连续包后启动T1,例如,所述接收端当前接收3号数据包,并接收成功,但发现1号数据包没有接收成功,也即所述接收端当前期望接收序列号为1的数据包,已成功接收最高序列号为3的数据包,因此,VR(R)=1,VR(H)=4,VR(X)=4,所述接收端判断VR(H)>VR(R),此时,所述接收端启 动T1,并向所述发送端发送状态报告,所述状态报告包括启动T1是所述接收端接收所有数据包的状态信息,例如包括未成功接收和成功接收的数据包的序列号,例如未成功接收的数据包的序列号为1,成功接收的数据包的序列号为2和3。所述接收端对应所述序列号为1的数据包,设置VR1(R)=VR(R)=1,VR1(H)=VR(H)=4,VR1(X)=VR(X)=4,所述接收端在所述T1时长内继续接收所述序列号为1的数据包。
如果所述接收端在所述第一T1超时之前成功接收到之前未成功接收的所述序列号为1的数据包,设置VR(R)为大于或等于VR(X)序列号的所有中的第一个未收到大RLC PDU的序列号,可选发送状态报告或窗口移动指示信息,停止为所述序列号为1的数据包启动的所述T1,所述接收端继续接收后续数据包,直到又出现一个未成功接收的数据包,即所述接收端判断VR(H)>VR(R),再次针对该新出现的未成功接收数据包启动定时器另一T1,并设置VR(X)为当前成功接收的数据包的最高序列号加1。所述所述窗口移动指示信息指示当前接收端期待接收的序列号VR(R)。
例如,在所述T1超时之前,所述接收端还可以接收3号数据包之后的数据包,如果在启动所述T1到所述T1超时之间又出现非连续包,也即接收的数据包的序列号大于或等于启动所述T1时VR(X)或VR1(X)的值的所有数据包中出现未成功接收的数据包,也即数据包的序列号大于或等于启动所述T1时VR(X)的值到序列号为当前VR(X)的值之间的所有接收的数据包为非连续数据包,对于启动所述T1到所述T1超时之间第一个未成功接收的数据包启动另一个T1。
例如,所述接收端在所述T1超时之前已成功接收7号数据包,且2、3和5号数据包已成功接收,但1号、4号、6号数据包未成功接收,即所述接收端期望接收所述序列号为1的数据包,当前已成功接收最高序列号为7的数据包,因此,所述接收端设置VR(R)=1,VR(H)=8,VR(X)=8,对于启动所述T1到所述T1超时之间第一个未成功接收的4号数据包,所述接收端设置VR1(R)的值为数据包的序列号大于或等于启动所述T1时VR(X)或VR1(X)的所有数据包中第一个未成功接收的数据包的序列号,也即VR1(R)=4,VR1(X)=VR(X)=8,VR1(H)=VR(H)=8,所述接收端判断序列号为VR1(R)=4至VR1(X)=8之间的接收数据包为非连续数据包。
当所述T1超时时,所述接收端还是没有成功接收所述序列号为1的数据包,且2、3、4和5号数据包已成功接收,但1号和6号数据包未成功接收,所述接收端将接收窗口的下边界移到启动T1时成功接收序列号最高的数据包之后的所有数据包中第一个未成功接收的数据包,即数据包的序列号大于或等于启动T1时VR(X)的值数据包的所有数据包中第一个未成功接收的数据包的序列号,也即所述接收端将期望接收的数据包设置为序列号为6的数据包,所述T1超时成功接收的数据包的最高序列号为9,也即VR(R)=6,VR(H)=10,VR(X)=10,VR1(R)=6,VR1(X)=VR(X)=10,VR1(H)=VR(H)=10,所述接收端判断序列号为VR1(R)=6至VR1(X)=10之间的接收数据包为非连续数据包。可选,所述接收端发送状态报告或所述窗口移动指示信息,该状态报告包含所述T1超时时所述接收端接收所有数据包的状态报告。所述窗口移动指示信息指示接收端期待接收的序列号为6。
若所述接收端收到上边界外的包,沿用AM模式,则丢弃;或者,若沿用UM 模式,则更新上边界到窗口外的包,设置VR(R)=VR(H)-AM_Window_Size,设置VR(X)=VR(H)。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述接收端配置上行最大重传次数,且最大重传次数后不触发RLC复位。

本实施例中,但为描述的简洁,本实施例以gNB为例进行说明,所述数据传输处理装置为所述DU,所述数据传输处理装置包括接收器271、处理器272、发送器273和存储器274,其中,所述接收器271、处理器272、发送器273和存储器274相互之间通过总线通信。
在本申请实施例中,该处理器272可以是EPLD、FPGA、DSP芯片、ASIC、或者其他可编程逻辑器件、分立门或者晶体管逻辑器件、分立硬件组件等。
所述存储器274用于存储代码或指令信息,还可以存储设备类型的信息。该存储器274可以包括ROM和RAM,用于向所述处理器272提供指令和数据。所述存储器274的一部分还可以包括非易失性随机存取存储器。
所述处理器272,用于在所述第一定时器超时之前,确定所述接收器271接收到的RLC PDU的序列号在第一定时器启动时的VR(X)的值到当前VR(H)的值之间存在不连续,启动第三定时器,所述第三定时器用于接收端确定第一定时器启动时的VR(X)的值到当前VR(H)的值之间缺失的序列号对应的RLC PDU是否丢失。
例如,针对所述第一定时器启动时所述接收器271已经成功接收的序列号最高的RLC PDU(例如,所述第二RLC PDU)之后的第一个未接收到的RLC PDU(例如,所述序列号为M的RLC PDU,记为RLC PDU SN=M),所述接收端也同样启动一个t-Reordering定时器或重组分段定时器,即第三定时器,例如,所述处理器272在所述第三定时器确定是否丢失所述序列号为M的RLC PDU。应理解,M的RLC PDU可能为分段或完整的RLC PDU。
在本发明的另一实施例中,所述第一定时器的时长等于所述第三定时器的时长,或者,所述第一定时器的时长不等于所述第三定时器的时长。应理解,一种实施方式,

在本发明的另一实施例中,为了节省开销和降低处理时延,使用UM传输模式协议层的协议数据单元在不分段的情况下可以没有本协议层的子头。这种情况下,本协议层的下一协议层的报头中需要包含本协议层的协议数据单元是否包含报头的指示。针对3GPP LTE和NR两种无线接入技术,当本协议层为RLC时,下一协议层为MAC,前面所述的指示可以为RLC PDU对应的MAC子头中用一个reserved bit来指示该RLC PDU是否包含RLC报头。进一步地,下一协议层协议数据单元的报头包含“上一协议层 的协议数据单元是否有子头”的指示也适用于3GPP NR无线接入技术中用PDCP PDU报头指示SDAP PDU是否有报头的情况。通过本发明实施例节省开销和降低处理时延,解决接收端RLC处理有、无RLC头的问题。
