Description

一种通信方法及接入网设备

技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及接入网设备。
背景技术
第五代移动通信(5th-generation,5G)系统将支持各种类型的网络部署和应用类型,包括: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;更大规模,低成本的机器型(machine-type communication,MTC)设备的接入和管理。为了满足上述需求,5G系统定义了基于QoS流(flow)的服务质量(quality of service,QoS)框架,其将支持保障流速率的QoS flow和不保障流速率的QoSflow。
5G系统中引入反射QoS机制,是一种终端设备获取上行数据传输QoS规则的一种方法,其基本思想是终端设备根据下行数据包来推导出上行数据传输的QoS规则。

具体实施方式
下面结合本申请实施例中的附图对本申请实施例进行描述。
本申请实施例可以应用于图1所示的网络架构示意图,图1所示的网络架构为无线通信系统的网络架构,通常包括终端设备、接入网设备、核心网设备组成,各个设备数量以及形态并不构成对本申请实施例的限定。其中,接入网设备可以是基站(Base Station,BS),基站可以向多个终端设备提供通信服务,多个基站可以向同一个终端设备提供通信服务。在一个实施例中,基站包含基带单元(baseband unit,BBU)和远端射频单元(remote radio unit,RRU)。BBU和RRU可以放置在不同的地方,例如:RRU拉远,放置于离高话务量的开阔区域,BBU放置于中心机房。BBU和RRU也可以放置在同一机房。BBU和RRU也可以为一个机架下的不同部件。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例提及的无线通信系统包括但不限于:窄带物联网系统(narrow band-internet of things,NB-IoT)、全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communications,GSM)、增强型数据速率GSM演进系统(enhanced data rate for GSM evolution,EDGE)、宽带码分多址系统(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)、码分多址2000系统(code division multiple access,CDMA2000)、时分同步码分多址系统(time division-synchronization code division multiple access,TD-SCDMA),长期演进系统(long term evolution,LTE)、第五代移动通信(5th-generation,5G)系统以及未来移动通信系统。
本申请实施例中,所述基站是一种部署在无线接入网中用以为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。所述基站可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站(也称为小站),中继站,接入点,传输接入点(transmission receiver point,TRP)等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如,在第三代(3rd-generation,3G)系统中,称为节点B(Node B,NB);在LTE系统中,称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,eNB或者eNodeB);在5G系统中,称为gNB等。为方便描述,本申请所有实施例中,上述为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置统称为接入网设备。
随着用户对无线通信的需求越来越大,网络流量的快速增长,网络部署将会越来越密集,并且会同时兼顾宏基站和小基站发展演进。小蜂窝的广泛应用以及相应的非理想反向回程的需求催生了双连接(dual connectivity,DC)技术,即一个终端设备同时连接到一个宏基站和一个小蜂窝基站的载波聚合方式。
长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中,处于双连接模式下的终端设备,只在一个基站与移动性管理实体(mobile management entity,MME)之间存在一个S1-MME连接。提供S1-MME连接的基站可以称为主基站(master evolved node B,MeNB),另一个基站用于提供额外的资源,可以称为辅基站(secondary evolved node B,SeNB)。每个基站都能够 独立管理终端设备和各自的小区中的无线资源。主基站与辅基站之间的资源协调工作经由X2接口上的信令消息来传送。
主基站可以是MeNB(master eNB),也可以是MgNB(master gNB),还可以是MN(master Node B);辅基站可以是SeNB(secondary eNB),也可以是SgNB(secondary gNB),还可以是为SN(secondary Node B)。
本申请实施例中所涉及到的终端设备可以包括各种具有无线通信功能的用户设备(user equipment,UE)、手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备。所述终端设备也可以称为移动台(mobile station,MS)、终端(terminal),还可以包括用户单元(subscriber unit)、蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、智能手机(smart phone)、无线数据卡、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handset)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC)终端等。为方便描述,本申请所有实施例中,上面提到的设备统称为终端设备。
本申请实施例中所涉及的核心网设备可以为5G系统中的核心网设备,可以包括用户面控制功能(user plane function,UPF)设备、控制面控制功能(control plane function,CPF)设备、设备会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)设备、接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)设备等。
本申请实施例可以应用于图2a和图2b所示的场景示意图中。其中,图2a为新空口(new radio,NR)-NR双连接的场景,即两个接入网设备均为NR基站,该场景可支持4种承载类型,分别为主基站控制的主小区组(master cell group,MCG)承载(bearer)、MCG分离(split)承载、辅基站控制的辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)承载、SCG分离承载。其中,MCG split bearer在将经过业务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)处理的QoS流分为两条路径传输,一条通过Xn接口传输至SgNB,由SgNB通过无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)层传输至终端设备;一条由MgNB通过RLC层、MAC层传输至终端设备。同理,SCG split bearer在将PDCP处理后的QoS流分为两条路径传输,一条通过Xn接口传输至MgNB,由MgNB通过RLC层、MAC层传输至终端设备;一条由SgNB通过RLC层、MAC层传输至终端设备。
图2b为NR-LTE双连接的场景,即一个接入网设备为NR基站,一个接入网设备为LTE基站。在主基站为LTE基站,辅基站为NR基站的场景下,可支持上述4中承载类型。在主基站为NR基站,辅基站为LTE基站的场景下,除了不支持SCG split bearer外,其余三种类型都可支持。图2b所示的场景中,两个基站双连接至5G核心网。
需要说明的是,图2a和图2b所示的场景均为主基站和辅基站双连接至5G核心网的场景。当双连接的场景下,某些QoS流需要经由辅助基站传输,辅助基站也需要保障QoS流的参数需求。
下面将对5G系统下单连接基于QoS流的参数进行介绍:
通知控制(notification control),一般用于保障比特速率(guaranteed bit rate,GBR)QoS流。当接入网设备无法满足GBR QoS flow的性能参数时,接入网设备告知核心网的 SMF,由核心网进一步进行操作(例如,通知应用服务器修改编码速率等)。
保障流比特速率(guaranteed flow bit rate,GFBR),用于上行和下行GBR QoS流,指示对于一个GBR流应该保障的比特速率。
最大比特速率(maximum bit rate,MFBR),用于与上行和下行GBR QoS流,指示对于一个GBR流,可用使用的最大的比特速率。超过最大比特速率部分将被滤除。
会话聚合比特速率(per session aggregate maximum bit rate,Session-AMBR),用于非GBR QoS流。其限制了终端设备的协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话所能提供的所有非GBR QoS流的比特聚合值。Session–AMBR由核心网设备告知接入网设备。
用户设备聚合比特速率(per user equipment aggregate maximum bit rate,UE-AMBR),用于非GBR QoS流。其限制了一个终端设备所能提供的所有非GBR QoS流的比特聚合值。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中第一接入网设备为与核心网设备相连接的基站,为双连接场景中的主基站,第二接入网设备为双连接场景中的辅基站,未与核心网设备建立连接。
目前,5G系统中也可以采用双连接技术,但是由于5G系统与LTE系统中的QoS框架存在差别,因此5G系统中如何传递QoS信息是亟待解决的问题。
鉴于此,本申请实施例还提供一种通信方法及接入网设备,以期实现5G系统下的QoS控制,进一步实现主基站与辅基站之间的QoS信息传递。

其中,所述第一消息携带所述第二接入网设备对应的分离承载下的QFI和所述QFI对应的QoS参数。

在图4所示的实施例中,可以实现辅基站自主建立SCGsplit承载,并向主基站传递SCGsplit承载下的QoS参数,以便主基站根据SCGsplit承载下的QoS参数进行数据传输。
5G系统中引入反射QoS机制,是一种终端设备获取上行数据传输QoS规则的一种方法,其基本思想是终端设备根据下行数据包来推导出上行数据传输的QoS规则。每个QoS规则包括QoS流标识(qualityofserviceflowidentification,QFI)、包过滤器和优先权。基于反射QoS方法,终端设备将决定上行数据包与QFI之间的映射关系,从而使得满足条件的下行数据包和上行数据包采用相同的QFI。
目前,5G系统中引入的反射QoS机制,在发送至终端设备的下行数据包中携带QFI,在空口上添加QFI,以便终端设备进行反射QoS。基站可根据核心网设备发送的指示信息来确定是否触发反射QoS。即在一种情况下,基站接收到核心网设备的携带反射QoS指示(reflectiveQoSindication,RQI)指示的数据包,认为针对该数据包触发反射QoS;在另一种情况下,基站接收到核心网设备针对某些QoS流的反射QoS属性(reflectiveQoS attribute,RQA)的信令,则认为针对这些QoS流触发反射QoS。但上述都是单基站场景,在双连接的场景下,辅基站有需要支持反射QoS,但目前没有现有方案。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及接入网设备,辅基站可支持反射QoS。
