通信方法和装置

技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法和装置。
背景技术
移动通信不仅追求容量的最大化,而且需要更广阔的覆盖范围,即无论终端移动到哪里,都要有无线网络信号覆盖。当终端由服务小区朝另一小区的方向移动时,为了保证终端的业务的连续性,该终端需要从当前的服务小区切换至另一小区。
目前,LTE系统中终端的服务小区的切换过程如下所述:源基站(Source eNB,SeNB)根据终端上报的测量报告决定对终端的服务小区进行切换,向目标基站(Target eNB,TeNB)发起切换请求,在SeNB获取到TeNB的切换请求确认消息后,SeNB向终端发送切换消息,终端根据切换消息中携带的目标小区的标识,向目标基站发起随机接入过程以获取到TA值以及上行资源,在该上行资源上向目标基站发送切换完成消息。
但是目前的5G系统中引入高频技术。数据通过高频进行传输的时候,一般传输的路损较大,为了保证业务的有效传输,高频小区会采用波束赋形技术来通信,即每个高频小区具有多个不同的波束用于通信。在终端进行切换时,终端如何选择波束接入是急需解决的问题。

S101、目标基站向源基站发送目标小区的N个波束的标识信息以及N个波束中的M个波束的随机接入信道(Random Access Channel,RACH)配置。
本实施例中,目标基站进行接纳控制,允许终端从服务小区切换至目标小区,然后,目标基站向源基站发送目标小区的N个波束的标识信息以及该N个波束中M个波束的 RACH配置。所述RACH配置可以是与SS block相对应的,也可以是与CSI-RS相对应的。其中,N和M为正整数,进一步的,目标基站也可以向源基站发送目标小区的小区标识。
可选的,在目标基站向源基站发送如S101中信息前,目标基站可以接收到源基站发送的源基站发送的切换请求消息,但本实施例并不限于此。
其中,该N个波束的标识信息和M个波束的RACH配置可以包括在目标基站发送给源基站的同一消息或者不同的消息中。或者,目标基站可以在同一时间或不同时间向源基站发送该N个波束的标识信息和M个波束的RACH配置。

S102、源基站向终端发送目标小区的N个波束的标识信息以及N个波束中的M个波束的RACH配置。
本实施例中,源基站接收目标基站发送的N个波束的标识信息以及N个波束中的M个波束的RACH配置后,向终端发送该N个波束的标识信息以及N个波束中的M个波束的RACH配置。
其中,该N个波束的标识信息和M个波束的RACH配置可以包括在源基站发送给终端的同一消息或者不同的消息中。或者,源基站可以在同一时间或不同时间向终端发送该N个波束的标识信息和M个波束的RACH配置。
可选地,N个波束的标识信息以及N个波束中的M个波束的RACH配置可以包括在源基站向终端发送的切换消息中。其中,该切换消息可以是携带移动控制信息(mobility Control Information)信元的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接重配置消息,或者其他的消息,例如不同于RRC连接重配置消息的其他RRC消息,或者层1信令,或者层2信令中。
S103、终端至少根据所述N个波束中L个波束的信号质量或者信号强度,N个波束的标识信息以及M个波束的RACH配置确定接入的波束。
本实施例中,终端根据L个波束的信号质量或者信号强度,N个波束的标识信息、以及上述M个波束的RACH配置确定接入的波束。终端在确定接入的波束之后,使用该波束接入该波束所属的目标小区。
可以理解的是,终端会对搜索到的至少一个波束进行测量,得到波束的信号质量或者强度,搜索到的波束不限于该目标小区的N个波束,也就是说也可以搜索到目标小区之外的波束。也不限定需要测量N个波束中的每个波束都进行测量。
可选的,一种情况下,此处的L也可以看作是检测到的其信号质量或者信号强度的波束的数量。
此处的M个波束可能和L个波束可能有交集,也可能没有交集,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
其中,波束的信号质量可以是波束的第一信号接收质量,波束的信号强度可以是波束的第一信号接收功率,其中,第一信号包括:同步信号和/或参考信号。
本实施例中,源基站向终端发送N个波束的标识信息以及N个波束中的M个波束的RACH配置,然后终端根据N个波束中L个波束的信号质量或者信号强度,N个波束的标识信息以及M个波束的RACH配置确定接入的波束,因此,本实施例提供了一种合理的 确定接入波束的方案。进一步地,由于本实施例接入的波束是终端根据N个波束中L个波束的信号质量或者信号强度,以及接收到的M个波束的RACH配置确定的,因此,由此确定的接入的波束可以提高终端接入小区的成功率,提高了切换成功率。
下面以波束的信号强度为例对如何确定接入的波束进行说明,其中,信号质量的方案与信号强度的方案类似,本实施例不再赘述。
图3为本申请实施例二提供的通信方法的流程图,如图3所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S201、终端向源基站发送测量报告。
可选的,终端在向源基站发送测量报告之前,接收源基站发送的测量配置信息,根据配置信息对服务小区和邻区进行测量。
一种可能的实现方式中,该配置信息用于配置终端对服务小区和邻区的波束进行测量,该配置信息包括但不限于波束的数量K以及波束信号强度阈值,简称为X,终端根据信号强度大于或等于X的K个波束的信号强度确定服务小区和邻区的信号强度。当获取的服务小区和邻区的信号强度满足相应的测量事件的判决条件时,如满足类似于LTE中A3或A4或A5或其他测量事件的判决条件时,终端发送测量报告,该测量报告包括:至少一个邻区的信号强度,和/或,各邻区下的K个波束的信号强度,以及服务小区和至少一个邻区的标识信息,服务小区和至少一个邻区的标识信息包括小区ID或小区索引。可选地,该测量报告还可以包括:可选地,该测量报告还可以包括:用于生成各个邻区的信号强度的K个波束的标识信息,或者用于生成各个邻区的信号强度的K个波束的信号强度。
可以理解的是,上述邻区包括图2所示实施例中所述的目标小区。上述配置信息中也可以不携带波束的数量以及波束信号强度阈值信息,此时,终端测量小区的信号强度。
可选地,SS block和CSI-RS是参考信号,是在波束上传输的;上述测量配置信息具体用于配置终端对通过波束传输的SS block和/或CSI-RS进行测量,相应地,波束的信号强度包括:波束的SS block的信号强度和/或CSI-RS的信号强度。其中,通过测量SS block获得信号强度的波束的数量与通过测量CSI-RS获取信号强度的波束的数量可以相同也可以不相同。相应地,测量配置对应的波束信号强度阈值可以包括:SS block波束信号强度阈值和/或CSI-RS波束信号强度阈值,即X包括X1和X2,其中,X1对应SS block波束信号强度阈值,X2对应CSI-RS波束信号强度阈值,其中,X1与X2可以相等也可以不相等。
其中,本实施例中波束的标识信息可以是通过该波束传输的SS block标识信息和/或通过该波束传输的CSI-RS标识信息。
其中,SS block在宽波束上传输,该波束可以用SS block标识信息来标识,如SS block标识信息可以是SS block中的PBCH所带的时间索引指示(time index indication)(隐示或显示)。
CSI-RS在窄波束上传输,该波束可以用CSI-RS标识信息来标识,如CSI-RS标识信息可以是CSI-RS配置的标识,CSI-RS配置中至少包括资源配置,CSI-RS配置还可能包括用于发送CSI-RS的天线端口等。
可选地,测量报告中可以包括携带邻区的至少一个波束的信息(此处的波束的信息可以是波束的信号强度,和/或,波束的标识信息),至少一个波束的信息可以以列表的形式 包括在测量报告中,比如每个邻区下的波束按照信号强度的强弱排列波束标识。至少一个波束的信息,可以用于目标基站确定配置有RACH配置的波束(即M个波束)。
其中,终端在测量报告中上报邻区中哪些波束的信息,例如可以存在如下两种方式,但本实施例不限于此。
在一种方式中,如果测量的是CSI-RS,由于CSI-RS资源会由源基站在测量配置消息里配置给终端,如果测量配置消息中配置了W个CSI-RS资源,则终端上报这W个CSI-RS资源对应的波束的信息,即上报W个CSI-RS资源中每个CSI-RS资源对应的波束的信息。
在另一种方式中,在终端接收的测量配置消息中包括有一个门限值,该门限值Q与上述的X不相等,该门限值用于终端确定是否需要上报某个波束的信息,即如果终端测量的邻区的波束的信号强度高于(或不低于)这个门限值,则终端在测量报告里上报这个波束的信息。
在另一种方式中,可选地,即终端根据数值P,上报最多P个波束的信息,或者,也可以结合前述的门限值Q,上报高于信号质量或者信号强度高于Q的最多P个波束的信息;该数值P可以预先设置的一个最大数值P,也可以包括在源基站向终端发送的测量配置消息中。
可以理解的是,上述测量报告上报的方式以及测量配置信息的内容可以独立于本申请实施例,也就是说可以应用于本申请实施例之外的其他的方案中。
S202、源基站向目标基站发送切换请求消息。
本实施例中,源基站接收终端发送的测量报告,并根据测量报告做出切换判决,可以将上报的多个邻区中信号强度最强的邻区作为目标小区,向该目标小区所属的目标基站发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息可以包括目标小区的标识。
可选地,该切换请求消息中还可以包括该目标小区下的至少一个波束的信息(包括波束的信号强度和/或波束的标识信息)。
可选地,源基站可以基于测量报告中的多个邻区的信号强度,向多个邻区均发送切换请求消息,这样可以保证上述目标基站不允许终端切换至目标小区时,其它邻区所属的基站可以根据切换请求消息,允许终端切换至其它邻区。
其中,源基站也可以不限于根据终端的发送的测量报告向目标基站发送切换请求消息,例如源基站也根据当前的网络状态等,向目标基站发送切换请求消息。
可以理解的是,上述切换请求消息是举例说明,也可以是通过其他的消息完成相应的切换准备交互,可以将该类消息称为第一消息。
S203、目标基站向源基站发送切换请求确认消息。
本实施例中,目标基站根据切换请求消息,进行接纳控制后向源基站回复切换请求确认消息,该切换请求确认消息中包括:目标小区的N个波束的标识信息以及N个波束中的M个波束的RACH配置。
可以理解的是,上述切换请求确认消息是举例说明,也可以是通过其他的消息完成相应的切换准备交互,可以将该类消息称为第二消息,第二消息是对第一消息的确认消息。
S204、源基站向终端发送切换消息。
本实施例中,源基站接收到切换请求确认消息后,向终端发送切换消息,该切换消息中包括:目标小区的N个波束的标识信息以及该M个波束的RACH配置。
可以理解的是,上述切换消息是举例说明,也可以是通过其他的消息完成相应的切换指示,可以将该类消息称为第三消息。
可选地,N个波束的标识信息可以是通过列表形式发送。当然N个波束的标识信息也可以通过其他形式发送,本实施例不限于此。
可以理解是,在切换消息中,还可以携带相应的优先级信息,而优先级信息可以有不同的通知方式,举例如下:
在第一种方式中,N个波束的标识信息以列表的形式发送,该列表具有优先级顺序,即列表中波束的顺序与优先级绑定,例如:对于列表中第一个波束的标识信息,该波束的优先级最高,波束的优先级按照优先级高低的顺序依次排列,以两个波束的标识信息为例,若列表为{波束2的标识信息,波束1的标识信息},则波束2的优先级高于波束1的优先级;
在第二种形式中,N个波束的标识信息以列表的形式发送,该列表中与波束还有对应的优先级信息,该优先级信息用于指示波束的优先级,以两个波束为例,这两个波束以列表的形式发送,该列表本身不具有优先级顺序,但是该列表中包括波束的优先级信息,若列表为{波束1的标识信息优先级信息=2,波束2的标识信息优先级信息=1},则表明波束2的优先级高于波束1的优先级。
S205、终端根据N个波束中L个波束的信号强度,强度阈值信息,N个波束的标识信息以及M个波束的RACH配置确定接入的波束。
其中,该强度阈值信息可以是预先规定好的,也可以是终端接收的。
可以理解的是,如果是根据信号质量确定接入目标小区的波束,会使用相应的质量阈值信息。
其中,终端可以接收源基站发送的强度阈值信息,例如:该强度阈值信息包括在源基站发送给终端的切换消息,在一种方式中,强度阈值信息包括在切换消息中,或者,最小系统信息(minimum SI)可选携带在切换消息中,强度阈值信息包括在切换消息中的最小系统信息(minimum SI)中。该强度阈值信息可以是源基站确定的,或者,该强度阈值信息也可以是源基站接收目标基站发送的,例如:该强度阈值信息包括在目标基站向源基站发送的上述切换请求确认消息中。
其中,终端可以接收目标基站发送的强度阈值信息,例如:该强度阈值信息包括在目标基站通过目标小区广播的系统信息(system information,SI)。其中,SI可以包括最小系统信息(minimum SI)和除最小系统信息外的其他系统信息(other SI),该强度阈值信息可以包括在SI的minimum SI中,或者,包括在OSI中。
其中,所述强度阈值信息包括:第一波束信号强度阈值和/或强度阈值指示信息,强度阈值指示信息用于指示第一波束信号强度阈值与第二波束信号强度阈值的关系;第二波束信号强度阈值是测量配置消息中携带的波束信号强度阈值,即上述提到的X。
本实施例中,终端接收到切换消息之后,根据强度阈值信息,确定第一波束信号强度阈值;根据N个波束的标识信息,将N个波束中L个波束的信号强度与第一波束信号强度阈值进行比较,以及根据N个波束中M个波束的RACH配置确定接入目标小区的波束。
下面以第一波束信号强度阈值为Y进行说明。
该强度阈值指示信息可以指示X与Y的关系,如指示X与Y是否相等,该强度阈值 指示信息可以是二进制比特值,如“0”表示不相等,“1”表示相等,反之亦可。或者,该强度阈值指示信息为布尔值,’TURUE’表示相等,’FALSE’表示不相等,反之亦可。或者,强度阈值指示信息为一个信元,携带该信元时表明不相等,不携带时表明相等,反之亦可。
若X和Y相等,可选地,该强度阈值信息中可以不携带Y值,终端解读出强度阈值指示信息中指示的“X和Y相等”后,根据该X值来用于确定接入目标小区的波束。可选地,若X和Y不相等,该强度阈值信息中携带Y值,可选地,该强度阈值信息中可以不携带该强度阈值指示信息。
可选地,在N个波束的标识包括:通过波束传输的SS block标识信息和/或通过波束传输的CSI-RS标识信息时,该强度阈值指示信息可以为:SS block强度阈值指示信息和CSI-RS强度阈值指示信息。上述的第一波束信号强度阈值(Y)为第一SS block波束信号强度阈值(Y1)和第一CSI-RS波束信号强度阈值(Y2)。
可选地,强度阈值信息还包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示上述Y1与Y2的关系,如Y1与Y2是否相等,该第一指示信息可以是二进制比特值,如“0”表示不相等,“1”表示相等,反之亦可。或者,该第一指示信息为布尔值,’TURUE’表示相等,’FALSE’表示不相等,反之亦可。或者,该第一指示信息为一个信元,携带该信元时表明不相等,不携带时表明相等,反之亦可。
若Y1与Y2的门限值相等,可选地,强度阈值信息中可以带一个阈值,即为Y,其中,Y1和Y2均为Y。由于强度阈值信息中携带一个阈值Y,终端解读出第一指示信息指示“Y1与Y2相等”后,使用Y值(既对应于通过波束传输的SS block的信号强度,也对应于通过波束传输的CSI-RS的信号强度)来确定接入目标小区的波束。若Y1与Y2不相等,该强度阈值信息中携带两个值,即Y1和Y2,终端分别使用Y1和Y2确定接入目标小区的波束。
基于上述对强度阈值信息的描述,上述S205的具体可以为:终端根据接收的N个波束中M个波束的RACH配置,可以确定M个波束均配置有RACH配置(即每个波束均配有与该波束对应的RACH配置);终端可以得到N个波束中L个波束的信号强度,再将L个波束的信号强度与第一波束信号强度阈值进行比较,据此确定接入的波束。
在第一种可行的实现方式中,N个波束中存在满足以下两个条件的波束:波束配置有RACH配置,并且波束的信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值。
终端将M个波束中信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的至少一个波束为接入目标小区的波束。也就是,终端若判断波束配置有RACH配置,并且波束的信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值,确定该波束为接入目标小区的波束。本实现方式中确定的接入目标小区的波束属于N个波束,并且属于上述M个波束。
可选地,N个波束的标识信息包括:SS block标识信息和/或CSI-RS标识信息,因此,在N个波束中既包括SS block标识信息标识的波束也包括CSI-RS标识信息标识的波束时,CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束的优先级高于SS block标识信息所标识的波束,终端优先确定配置有RACH配置,且信号强度大于第一波束信号强度阈值,以及CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束为接入目标小区的波束。若CSI标识信息所标识的波束均不满足如下条件:波束的RACH配置属于所述M个波束的RACH配置,且信号强度大于第一波束信号强度阈值,则终端再确定波束配置有RACH配置,且信号强度大于第一波束信号强度阈值,以及SS block标识信息所标识的波束为接入目标小区的波束。
可以理解的是,若按照上述各种方式确定出满足上述两个条件的波束为多个时,终端可以将满足上述条件并且第一个搜索到的波束确定为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端可以从满足上述条件的波束中随机选择接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端可以从满足上述条件的波束中选择信号强度最强的波束为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端可以从满足上述条件的波束中选择优先级最高的波束为接入目标小区的波束,其中,波束的优先级顺序可以参见上述相关描述。
可选的,CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束与SS block标识信息所标识的波束的优先级顺序,可以是预先定义的,也可以是网络设备配置的,例如通过切换消息指示该优先级顺序。
其中,上述M个波束中每个波束的RACH配置包括:前导码索引(preamble index)和时频资源配置,该RACH配置可以视为竞争避免随机接入(Contention Free Random Access,CFRA)配置。在终端确定的接入目标小区的波束属于上述M个波束时,终端根据该波束的RACH配置向目标小区发起随机接入过程。
在这种实现方式中,终端确定接入目标小区的波束具有RACH配置且信号强度高,因此终端接入该目标小区的成功率更高。
在第二种可行的实现方式中,在上述M个波束的信号强度均小于第一波束信号强度阈值时,从M个波束中确定接入目标小区的波束。例如,终端对N个波束进行搜索,可获得M个波束的信号强度,在所述M个波束的信号强度均小于第一波束信号强度阈值时,从该M个波束中确定接入目标小区的波束。本实施例中确定的接入目标小区的波束属于上述M个波束。
在M大于1时,终端可以将M个波束中第一个搜索到的波束为接入目标小区的波束,终端可以从M个波束中随机选择接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端可以从M个波束中选择信号强度最强的波束为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端可以从M个波束中选择优先级最高的波束为接入目标小区的波束,其中,波束的优先级顺序可以参见上述相关描述。
可选地,N个波束的标识信息包括:SS block标识信息和/或CSI-RS标识信息,因此,在N个波束中既包括SS block标识信息标识的波束也包括CSI-RS标识信息标识的波束时,CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束的优先级高于SS block标识信息所标识的波束,终端优先在所述M个波束中CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束中确定接入目标小区的波束。若所述M个波束中不包括CSI标识信息所标识的波束,则终端在M个波束中SS block标识信息所标识的波束中确定接入目标小区的波束。
可以理解的是,在CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束中确定接入目标小区的波束或者在M个波束中SS block标识信息所标识的波束中确定接入目标小区的波束与上述第二种可行的实现方式中在M个波束中确定接入目标小区的波束的方式类似。
在这种实现方式中,终端确定的接入目标小区的波束具有RACH配置,因此终端接入该目标小区的成功率高。
在第三种可行的实现方式中,上述M个波束的信号强度均小于第一波束信号强度阈值,且L个波束中存在信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束。
终端根据所述N个波束的标识、L个波束的信号强度、强度阈值信息,将信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束为接入目标小区的波束,此时该信号强度大于或者等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束可以理解为是L个波束中的一个波束。也就是,终端对 N个波束进行搜索,获得L个波束的信号强度,在所述M个波束的信号强度均小于第一波束信号强度阈值时,终端根据接入目标小区的波束的信号强度阈值大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值,从该L个波束中确定接入目标小区的波束。若L个波束中信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束为多个时,终端可以将信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值并且第一个搜索到的波束为接入目标小区的波束。或者,终端可以从信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束中随机选择接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端可以从信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束中选择信号强度最强的波束为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端可以从信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束中选择优先级最高的波束为接入目标小区的波束,其中,波束的优先级顺序可以参见上述相关描述。
可选地,N个波束的标识信息包括:SS block标识信息和/或CSI-RS标识信息,因此,在N个波束中既包括SS block标识信息标识的波束也包括CSI-RS标识信息标识的波束时,CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束的优先级高于SS block标识信息所标识的波束,终端优先确定信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值,且CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束为接入目标小区的波束。若CSI标识信息所标识的波束中不存在信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束,终端确定信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值,且SS block标识信息所标识的波束为接入目标小区的波束。
可以理解的是,若确定出的信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束或者SS block标识信息所标识的波束有多个时,可以采用与上述第三种可行的实现方式中若L个波束中信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束为多个时的处理方式类似,此处不再赘述。
可选的,在终端确定的接入目标小区的波束不属于上述M个波束时,终端可以监听并解析该目标小区的系统信息,根据该系统信息中的公共RACH配置向目标小区发起随机接入。
在这种实现方式中,终端确定接入目标小区的波束的信号强度高,因此终端接入该目标小区的成功率高。
在第四种可行的实现方式中,上述M个波束的信号强度均小于第一波束信号强度阈值,且L个波束中不存在信号强度大于或等于第一波束信号强度阈值的波束。
终端根据所述N个波束的标识、L个波束的信号强度,从L个波束中确定信号强度最强的波束为接入目标小区的波束。或者,
终端可以将L个波束中第一个搜索到的波束为接入目标小区的波束。或者,
终端可以从L个波束随机选择接入目标小区的波束。或者,
终端可以从L个波束中选择优先级最高的波束为接入目标小区的波束,其中,波束的优先级顺序可以参见上述相关描述。
本实施例中确定的接入目标小区的波束属于上述L个波束,但是此时确定的接入目标小区的波束可能属于上述M个波束,也可能不属于上述M个波束。
可选地,N个波束的标识信息包括:SS block标识信息和/或CSI-RS标识信息,因此,在N个波束中既包括SS block标识信息标识的波束也包括CSI-RS标识信息标识的波束时,CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束的优先级高于SS block标识信息所标识的波束,终端优先确 定所述L个波束中CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束中信号强度最强的波束为接入目标小区的波束。若L个波束中不包括CSI标识信息所标识的波束,则终端确定所述L个波束中SS block标识信息所标识的波束中信号强度最强的波束为接入目标小区的波束。可以理解的是,在CSI-RS标识信息所标识的波束或者SS block标识信息所标识的波束中确定接入目标小区的波束的方式还可以是将第一个搜索到的波束确定为接入目标小区的波束,或者,随机选择,或者选择优先级最高的波束,本申请实施例不做限定。
在这种实现方式中,终端确定接入目标小区的波束的方式较为灵活。
可以理解的是,上述各种可行的实现方式中,是以M大于或等于1的情况说明的。一种可能的情况是,M也可以等于0,此时意味着目标基站没有给目标小区的波束提供RACH配置。此时,可以按照如下方式确定接入目标小区的波束:终端搜索到N个波束中的L个波束,终端可以从该L个波束中确定接入目标小区的波束,例如,将该L个波束中信号强度中最强的波束确定为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端将L个波束中第一个搜索到的波束确定为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端将L个波束中优先级最高的波束确定为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端从L个波束中随机确定接入目标小区的波束。可以理解的是,上述M=0时确定接入目标小区的波束的方式也可以适用于未搜索到M个波束中任一个波束的场景。
另一种可能的实现方式中,在未搜索上述M个波束中的任一个波束,或者,M等于0,或者,未搜索到N个波束中的任一个波束,或者,L或者M个波束的信号强度均小于第一波束信号质量阈值,或者,M等于0,此时意味着目标基站没有给目标小区的波束提供RACH配置等情况下,也可以采用如下方式中的一种确定接入的波束:
(1):终端将搜索到的目标小区的波束中信号强度最强的波束为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端将第一个搜索到的目标小区的波束确定为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端将搜索到的目标小区的波束中优先级最高的波束确定为接入目标小区的波束,或者,终端从目标小区的波束中随机确定接入目标小区的波束。通过这种方式,使得终端优先接入至目标小区,从而可以尽可能避免接入失败。
(2):终端确定搜索到的波束中信号强度最强的波束为接入的波束。或者,终端将第一个搜索到的波束确定为接入的波束,此时,该波束可以属于目标小区。或者,终端将搜索到的波束中优先级最高的波束确定为接入邻区的波束。或者,终端随机确定接入的波束,该波束可以属于目标小区。该接入的波束可以属于目标小区,或者,该接入的波束可以属于目标小区之外的邻区。
(3):终端发起RRC连接重建立过程,可选地,终端在当前服务小区进行RRC连接重建立过程。
在上述本申请实施例的基础上,可选地,如果终端通过上述方式确定波束,发起随机接入过程,但是随机接入过程失败,例如终端发送前导码索引的次数达到最大发送次数,但终端却一直未能收到基站回复的随机接入响应(RAR)消息,终端发起RRC连接重建立过程,可选地,终端在当前服务小区进行RRC连接重建立过程。
本申请上述实施例中提供了多种确定接入的波束的方式,可以使得终端灵活的选择接入的波束。
图4为本申请实施例三提供的通信方法的流程图,如图4所示,本实施例的方法可以 包括:
S301、终端向源基站发送测量报告,测量报告包括终端在预定时间段内的服务波束变化信息。
本实施例中的测量报告可以参见图3所示实施例中的相关描述,另外,本实施例的测量报告中还包括:终端在预定时间段内的服务波束变化信息。该服务波束变化信息例如是终端在预定时间段间内改变的服务波束的次数、终端在各个服务波束停留的时间长短等信息。
可选地,该波束变换信息不限于包括在测量报告中,也可以包括在终端发送给源基站的一个新的RRC消息中或层1信令中或层2信令中。
S302、源基站向目标基站发送切换请求消息,切换请求消息包括所述服务波束变化信息。
本实施例中的切换请求消息可以参见图3所示实施例中的相关描述,另外,本实施例的切换请求消息中还包括:所述服务波束变化信息。
S303、目标基站根据所述服务波束变化信息,确定M个波束的RACH配置的有效期。
本实施例中,目标基站根据该服务波束变换信息可大致判断出终端的移动状况,并基于终端的移动状况,确定M个波束的RACH配置的有效期,如果根据该服务波束变换信息判断出终端频繁变换服务波束,那么目标基站分配给M个波束的RACH配置的有效期较短,反之,目标基站分配给M个波束的RACH配置的有效期较长。
作为S302和S303的一种可替换的方案,源基站根据所述服务波束变化信息,确定有效期;源基站再向目标基站发送切换请求消息,切换请求消息包括有效期。目标基站根据切换请求消息,确定切换请求消息中的有效期为M个波束的RACH配置的有效期。
可以理解的是,RACH配置的有效期超时后,目标基站会释放M个波束的RACH配置,从而可以避免资源被长时间浪费。
其中,S301-S303中的各个步骤也可以独立于后续的步骤,应用于其它的场景中或者方案中,本实施例中的S301-S303不限于应用于本实施例的场景或方案中。
S304、目标基站向源基站发送切换请求确认消息。
本实施例中,切换请求确认消息中包括N个波束的标识信息和M个波束的RACH配置。本实施例中的切换请求消息可以参见图3所示实施例中的相关描述。
其中,S303与S304的执行顺序不分先后。
S305、源基站向终端发送切换消息,切换消息包括目标小区的N个波束的标识信息以及该M个波束的RACH配置。
S306、终端至少根据N个波束中L个波束的信号强度,N个波束的标识信息以及M个波束的RACH配置确定接入的波束。
本实施例中,S305和S306可以参见上述实施例中的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
S307、终端根据接入的波束,向与该波束对应的基站发送前导码索引。
此处,与该波束对应的基站,可能是目标基站,也可能是其他基站,其中,图4中以与该波束对应的基站为目标基站作为例子示出,但本实施例并不限于此。
S308、与该波束对应的基站向终端发送随机接入答复(Random Access Response,RAR)消息。
其中,若终端确定接入目标小区的波束属于上述M个波束,说明接入目标小区的波束配置有RACH配置,因此,终端利用RACH配置向目标基站发送前导码索引。目标基站根据终端发送的前导码索引和/或发送前导码索引所用的时频资源,确定终端向目标小区进行随机接入所选择的波束,目标终端再根据该波束,向终端发送RAR消息,以及目标基站释放M个波束中其他波束的RACH配置。
其中,若终端确定接入目标小区的波束不属于上述M个波束,说明接入目标小区的波束未配置有RACH配置,因此,终端在公共的随机接入信道时频资源上向目标基站发送随机选择的前导码索引。
S309、终端向该波束对应的基站发送RRC连接重配置完成消息。
终端收到RAR消息后,给该波束对应的基站发送RRC连接重配置完成消息。
本实施例中,通过上述方案,终端确定接入目标小区的波束,根据该波束可以提高终端接入目标小区的成功率,提高了切换成功率。另外,终端还上报终端的服务波束变化信息,以使目标基站确定M个波束的RACH配置的有效期,并在有效期超时后,释放M个波束的RACH配置,避免资源的长时间占用,提高了资源利用率。
可以理解的是,上述各个实施例中,由终端实现的方法或步骤,也可以是由终端内部的芯片实现的。由基站,例如源基站等实现方法或者步骤,也可以是由基站内部的芯片实现的。
