Description

用户设备、基站和相关方法 技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域，更具体地，本公开涉及用户设备、基站和与辅小区组SCG失效相关的方法。
背景技术
2016年3月，在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project：3GPP)RAN#71次全会上，NTT DOCOMO提出了一个关于5G技术标准的新的研究项目(参见非专利文献：RP-160671：New SID Proposal：Study on New Radio Access Technology)，并获批准。该研究项目的目的是开发一个新的无线(New Radio：NR)接入技术以满足5G的所有应用场景、需求和部署环境。NR主要有三个应用场景：增强的移动宽带通信(Enhanced mobile broadband：eMBB)、大规模机器类通信(massive Machine type communication：mMTC)和超可靠低延迟通信(Ultra reliable and low latency communications：URLLC)。
在2016年10月召开的3GPP RAN2#96次会议上达成为满足URLLC对可靠性的要求，对多连接(包括双连接)进行研究。所述多连接可以采用分组重复(也称为包重复)或连路选择等机制。在2017年1月召开的3GPP NR AdHoc会议上达成在NR-PDCP实体中支持用户面和数据面的分组重复功能，发送端PDCP实体功能支持分组重复，且接收端PDCP实体功能支持删除重复包。在2017年6月召开的3GPP NR AdHoc会议上达成在双连接场景下，主基站决定是否使用主小区组MCG重复信令无线承载SRB并通过主基站无线链路控制RRC信令配置MCG重复SRB。此外，此次会议还达成在双连接场景中，对于MCG重复SRB，通过RRC信令配置上行传输采用MCG、辅小区组SCG还是在MCG和SCG采用重复传输方式传输。
期望解决在支持分组重复的双连接场景下的，当RRC信令为MCG重复SRB配置了上行传输采用SCG，但发生SCG失效所涉及的问题。

DRB：Data Radio Bearer carrying user plane data，承载用户面数据的数据无线承载或简称数据承载。
分离DRB：在双连接中，在LTE/LTE-A/eLTE中，无线协议位于主基站和辅基站且同时利用主基站和辅基站提供的资源的DRB。如果分离DRB的PDCP实体位于主基站(即数据先到达主基站，由主基站转发给辅基站，实现数据在主基站中分离)，则称为MCG分离DRB；如果分离DRB的PDCP实体位于辅基站(即数据先到达辅基站，由辅基站转发给主基站，实现数据在辅基站中分离)，则称为SCG分离DRB。如未特别说明，本公开中所述分离DRB可以是MCG分离DRB，也可以是SCG分离DRB。本公开所述实施例也适用于不区分MCG分离DRB和SCG分离DRB的场景。
SRB：Signalling Radio Bearer，信令无线承载。所述承载可以用于传输RRC消息和NAS消息或仅用于传输RRC消息和NAS消息。SRB可以包括SRB0、SRB1、SRB1bis和SRB2。其中，SRB0用于采用CCCH逻辑信道的RRC消息；SRB1用于采用DCCH逻辑信道的RRC消息，所述RRC消息中可能包含NAS消息，SRB1还用于在SRB2建立之前传 输NAS消息。SRB1bis用于安全激活前采用DCCH逻辑信道的RRC消息和NAS消息，所述RRC消息中可能包含NAS消息。SRB2用于采用DCCH逻辑信道的RRC消息和NAS消息，所述RRC消息包括记录的测量信息(或称测量日志)。SRB可以是MCG SRB，也可以是SCG SRB。本公开所述承载可以是SRB或DRB。

在双连接中，在NR中，如果一个承载的无线协议在主基站中分离且属于MCG和SCG，则称为MCG分离承载。所述MCG分离承载可以是MCG分离DRB或MCG分离SRB。
在双连接中，在NR中，如果一个承载的无线协议在辅基站中分离且属于MCG和SCG，则称为SCG分离承载。所述SCG分离承载可以是SCG分离DRB或SCG分离SRB。

本公开中，分离承载可以包括：MCG分离DRB、MCG分离SRB、SCG分离DRB、SCG分离SRB。
分组重复：也可称为重复或数据重复，SRB和DRB均可配置分组重复。当无线承载(包括SRB和DRB)配置了分组重复时，为所述无线承载增加辅RLC实体和辅逻辑信道来处理重复的PDCP PDU。PDCP分组重复是指相同的PDCP PDU发送两次或多次，一次在原RLC实体，另一次在辅RLC实体，所述两次发送的PDCP PDU不在同一载波上发送。在双连接方式下，所述配置了分组重复的无线承载的两个逻辑信道属于不同的MAC实体。
分组重复分离承载：在双连接方式下，配置了分组重复的分离承载。在所述发送方式中，同一数据在分离承载的两个无线协议上发送，可以包括分组重复MCG分离SRB、分组重复SCG分离SRB、分组重复MCG分离DRB和分组重复SCG分离DRB。如果是分组重复MCG分离承载，则由位于主基站或MCG的PDCP实体负责分组重复和/或重复分组移除；如果是分组重复SCG分离承载，则由位于辅基站或SCG的PDCP实体负责分组重复和/或重复分组移除。
图1示出了在双连接中，基站与用户设备UE之间进行分组重复MCG分离SRB下行传输的示意图。应理解，对于基站与UE之间进行分组重复MCG分离SRB上行传输可以采用同样的协议架构，只是数据从UE发送到基站，即，将图1中的箭头反向即可。如图1所示，数据(例如PDCP PDU)在分离SRB的两个无线协议(对应于与同一PDCP实体相关联的两个RLC实体)上发送，利用主基站和辅基站资源。在双连接方式下，对应配置分组重复的分离SRB，每个PDCP PDU经过两个RLC实体发送给接收方。主基站和辅基站间的接口可以记为Xn或Xx或X2。根据MeNB和SeNB的不同类型，所述接口可以采用不同命名。例如，如果MeNB为LTE eNB，SeNB为gNB，则所述接口记为Xx；如果MeNB为gNB，SeNB为eLTE eNB，则所述接口记为Xn。
图2给出了双连接场景下用户设备UE中协议架构示意图。在图2所示示意图中，一个分离SRB的RRC实体和/或PDCP实体关联到两个RLC实体、两个逻辑信道和两个MAC实体。
本公开部分实施例以分组或PDCP PDU发送两次为例(即一个PDCP PDCP PDU在其关联的两个RLC实体和/或两个逻辑信道上发送)，但本公开所述的技术方案并不限于PDCP PDU发送两次的场景，本领域技术人员可以容易地扩展到PDCP PDU发送多次的场景(即一个PDCP实体关联多个RLC实体和/或多个逻辑信道)。
在本公开实施例中，将配置了分组重复的MCG分离SRB称为MCG重复SRB；将仅使用主基站或MCG的资源的SRB或无线协议仅位于主基站或MCG的SRB称为MCG SRB。
在本公开实施例中，可以将SRB0配置为MCG SRB0，即SRB0的无线协议位于MCG，采用MCG提供的无线资源进行传输(包括上行传 输和下行传输)；可以将SRB1配置为MCG SRB1或MCG重复SRB1；可以将SRB2配置为MCG SRB2或MCG重复SRB2。MCG重复SRB1或SRB2下行传输采用分组重复方式发送，上行传输通过RRC信令配置为采用MCG或SCG或MCG和SCG。
在本公开实施例中，将属于或位于或对应MCG的RLC实体和MAC实体记为MCG-RLC和MCG-MAC；将属于或位于或对应SCG的RLC实体和MAC实体记为SCG-RLC和SCG-MAC。
图3示出了根据本公开实施例的用户设备中的方法300的流程图。UE被配置有主小区组MCG重复信令无线承载SRB(例如SRB1)，所述MCG重复SRB与主小区组MCG和辅小区组SCG相关联并被配置为通过SCG进行上行传输。
这里，用户设备UE可以接收到来自主基站的无线链路控制RRC信令(也可称为RRC消息)，所述RRC信令用于为UE配置或重配置MCG重复SRB1或将MCG SRB1重配置为MCG重复SRB1，所述RRC信令可以是RRC连接重配置消息RRCConnectionReconfiguration。
在一个示例中，在用于配置MCG重复SRB1的RRC信令中携带一个指示标志，用于指示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输路径或上行传输方式或上行传输配置，MCG重复SRB1的上行传输可以采用MCG(即MCG提供的无线资源或PDCP实体将PDCP PDU发送到MCG-RLC)、SCG(即SCG提供的无线资源或PDCP实体将PDCP PDU发送到SCG-RLC)、MCG和SCG(即MCG和SCG提供的无线资源且采用分组重复方式传输或PDCP实体将同一PDCP PDU发送到MCG-RLC和SCG-RLC)。所述指示标识的取值可以为MCG，SCG，both或duplicate，当所述指示标志的取值为MCG时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用MCG，即PDCP实体将SRB1的数据或PDCP PDU发送到MCG-RLC和/或MCG-MAC并利用MCG的无线资源发送；当所述指示标志的取值为SCG时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用SCG，即PDCP实体将SRB1的数据或PDCP PDU通过SCG-RLC和/或SCG-MAC并利用SCG的无线资源发送；当所述指示标识的取值为both或duplicate时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用MCG和SCG，即PDCP实体将 SRB1的同一数据或PDCP PDU通过MCG-RLC、MCG-MAC和SCG-RLC、SCG-MAC并利用MCG和SCG的无线资源发送(采用分组重复方式传输)。本实施例中，所述指示标识的取值也可以是其他值，不同取值分别用于指示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用MCG、SCG以及MCG和SCG三种方式中的一种。
在另一个实施例中，在用于配置MCG重复SRB1的RRC信令中携带一个指示标志，当所述指示标识的值为0或Ture或setup等时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用MCG(或SCG)；当所述指示标识的值为1或false或Release等时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用SCG(或MCG)。当所述指示标识不出现时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用MCG和SCG。
在又一个实施例中，在用于配置MCG重复SRB1的RRC信令中携带一个指示标志，当所述指示标识的值为0或Ture或setup等时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用MCG和SCG(或SCG)；当所述指示标识的值为1或false或Release等时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用SCG(或MCG和SCG)。当所述指示标识不出现时，表示MCG重复SRB1的上行传输采用MCG。
如图所示，方法300包括以下步骤。
在步骤S310，检测到SCG失效。
需要说明的是，本公开所述SCG失效可以是SCG无线链路失效或改变SCG失败或在用于指示双连接场景中使用的功率控制模式的信息元素powerControlMode配置为1时，超过最大上行传输时间差(maximum uplink transmission timing difference)导致停止PSCell的上行传输。
本公开所述SCG无线链路失效可以由以下事件触发：
事件1：用于监测PSCell不同步的定时器T313期满。
事件2：接收到SCG MAC随机接入问题(或出错)指示。
事件3：对于SCG DRB或分离DRB或MCG重复SRB或SCG SRB，从SCG RLC实体接收到达到最大重传次数的指示。
表1中示出了定时器T307和T313启动/停止的条件以及所述定时器期满时执行的操作。

在步骤S320，将所述MCG重复SRB重配置为通过MCG进行上行传输，或触发MCG失效。
在一个示例中，所述UE还被配置有另一MCG重复SRB(例如SRB2)，方法300还包括，在检测到SCG失效之后：将所述另一MCG重复SRB重配置为通过MCG进行上行传输。
在一个示例中，重配置可以通过释放所述MCG重复SRB或所述另一MCG重复SRB的上行传输配置来执行。
在一个示例中，方法300还包括：向基站报告SCG失效。向基站报告SCG失效包括：利用重配置的MCG重复SRB，通过MCG向基站发送SCG失效信息，或利用MCG SRB通过公共控制信道CCCH向基站发送SCG失效信息。
在一个示例中，方法300还包括：从基站接收指示信息，所述指示信息指示UE在SCG失效时是否通过MCG进行上行传输。所述重配置仅在所述指示信息指示在SCG失效时通过MCG进行上行传输的情况下执行。
具体地，对于上述用于配置MCG重复SRB1的实施例，RRC信令还包含一个指示标识，所述指示标识用于指示当SCG失效时，是否可以采用MCG进行上行传输，或者如果MCG重复SRB1的上行传输被配置为采用SCG(或MCG和SCG)，则SCG失效时是否可以采用MCG进行上行传输。例如，当所述指示标志的取值为“1”或“TRUE”或“setup”或所述指示标识出现，表示如果MCG重复SRB的上行传输被配置为采用SCG或MCG和SCG，则当SCG失效时，MCG重复SRB上行传输采用MCG。当所述指示标志的取值为“0”或“false”或“release”或所述指示标识不出现，表示如果MCG重复SRB的上行传输被配置为采用SCG或MCG和SCG，则当SCG失效时，采用上行UL公共控制信道CCCH传输SCG失效信息或释放MCG重复SRB的上行传输配置。当所述指示标识指示SCG失效时MCG重复SRB上行传输采用MCG，则当MCG重复SRB的上行传输被配置为采用SCG或MCG和SCG，如果发生SCG失效，MCG重复SRB上行传输采用MCG。
需要说明的是，本公开所述将MCG重复SRB(或分离SRB)重配置为通过MCG进行上行传输也可以表述为重配置MCG重复SRB(或分离SRB)的PDCP实体使得PDCP PDU通过MCG或MCG-RLC传输或重配置MCG重复SRB(或分离SRB)的PDCP实体使得所述PDCP实体将PDCP PDU发送到MCG-RLC。
以下参照具体示例来说明方法300。这里，不失一般性，假设上述MCG重复SRB为SRB1，上述另一MCG重复SRB为SRB2。
