在本申请中,各实施例中的步骤执行先后顺序没有严格的限定,可以互相调换或调整。
如图2所示,本申请第一实施例提供的一种通信方法的示意图,该方法可以由终端设备执行,具体如下所述。
201、获得终端设备的中继模式。
其中,中继模式包括长期中继模式或临时中继模式。
具体地,长期中继模式可以指在终端设备通过中继设备与网络侧设备的通信结束后,该终端设备与该中继设备之间的中继关系继续保持。长期中继模式也可以指在终端设备处于空闲态时,该终端设备与该中继设备之间的中继关系继续保持。长期中继模式还可以指终端设备通过中继设备与网络侧设备的通信结束后或终端设备处于空闲态时,终端设备仍驻留在该终端设备与该中继设备之间的非直传链路上。例如,当中继设备为用户的车载设备,终端设备为该用户的WD时,中继设备和终端设备之间可以为长期中继模式。
具体地,临时中继模式可以指在终端设备通过中继设备与网络侧设备的通信结束后,该终端设备与该中继设备之间的中继关系结束。临时中继模式也可以指终端设备处于空闲态时,该终端设备与该中继设备之间的中继关系结束。临时中继模式还可以指在终端设备通过中继设备与网络侧设备的通信结束后或终端设备处于空闲态时,终端设备驻留在直传链路 上。进一步地,当终端设备存在待传输的数据或信令时,可以重新通过该中继设备将数据或信令发送给网络侧设备(例如,AN节点)。例如,终端设备可以为用户的WD,中继设备可以为其它用户的终端设备,两者之间可以为临时中继模式。
其中,当中继模式信息预先存储在终端设备的存储器中时,上述步骤201具体可以为从该存储器中读取该终端设备的中继模式信息。
此外,步骤201还可以采用如下实现方式:
方式一、根据终端设备的空闲态驻留方式,获得该终端设备的中继模式。
例如,若终端设备在空闲态时驻留在非直传链路,则中继模式为长期中继模式,具体的,若终端设备在空闲态时驻留在非直传链路上监听消息,则中继模式为长期中继模式。
再例如,若该终端设备在空闲态时驻留在直传链路,则中继模式为临时中继模式,具体的,若终端设备在空闲态时驻留在直传链路上监听消息,则中继模式为临时中继模式。
其中,终端设备的空闲态驻留方式可以通过网络侧设备(例如,AN节点)进行配置,也可以通过终端设备的人机交互接口配置,不予限制。
方式二、根据预先配置的关联关系,获得终端设备的中继模式。
具体地,根据终端设备和中继设备是否属于同一用户,获得终端设备的中继模式。例如,当终端设备与中继设备属于同一用户时,中继模式为长期中继模式;或,当终端设备与中继设备属于不同用户时,中继模式为临时中继模式。
下面以WD和UE进行举例说明:
预先配置同一用户的UE(作为中继设备)与WD(作为终端设备)之间的关联关系为长期中继模式;预先配置用户的WD(作为终端设备)与其它用户的UE(作为中继设备)之间的关联关系为临时中继模式。
其中,该关联关系可以通过网络侧设备预先配置,也可以通过终端设备的人机交互接口预先配置。
方式三、根据终端设备的位置,获得该终端设备的中继模式。
具体地,当终端设备位于预设区域范围之内时,该终端设备的中继模式为长期中继模式;或者,当终端设备位于预设区域范围之外时,该终端设备的中继模式为临时中继模式。例如,当终端设备位于办公室或家中时,该终端设备的中继模式为长期中继模式;否则,该终端设备的中继模式为临时中继模式。
202、向中继设备发送注册信息和终端设备的中继模式信息。
其中,中继模式信息可以通过显示或隐式的方式发送给中继设备。
以一种显示的发送方式为例,终端设备通过发送至少一个比特位给中继设备来实现。当该至少一个比特位设置为第一预设值时,表明该终端设备的中继模式为长期中继模式;当该至少一个比特位设置为第二预设值时,表明该终端设备的中继模式为临时中继模式。
以一种隐式的发送方式为例,终端设备通过发送预设的消息给中继设备来实现。具体地,当终端设备发送该预设的消息给中继设备时,表明该终端设备的中继模式为长期中继模式;当终端设备不发送该预设的消息给中继设备,表明该终端设备的中继模式为临时中继模式。
其中,注册信息可以包括以下至少一种注册参数:终端设备的标识信息、终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息。该注册信息也可以是注册请求消息。
具体地,终端设备的标识信息用于标识该终端设备,可以为永久标识,例如,国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identity,IMSI);也可以为临时标识,例如, 5G全球唯一临时UE标识(5G Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity,5G-GUTI)、5G临时移动台标识符(5G Temporary Mobile Station Identifier,5G-TMSI)。
具体地,核心网节点的标识信息用于标识核心网节点,可以是运营商分配的用于识别核心网节点的标识,例如,AMF的标识为全球唯一AMF标识(Globally Unique AMF Identifier,GUAMI),IP地址或名称。需要指出的是,当终端设备的标识信息中的部分比特为该终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息时,例如,5G-GUTI包含AMF标识(GUAMI),上述注册信息可以仅包含终端设备的标识信息。
具体地,当注册信息为注册参数时,该注册参数可以携带在注册请求消息或其它消息中发送给中继设备,不予限制。其中,该注册请求消息可以是终端设备在发起注册流程时发送的。该注册流程可以由终端设备移出注册区域,或周期性注册更新触发的。
可选地,注册信息与终端设备的中继模式信息封装在同一个消息中发送给中继设备。例如,假设注册信息包括上述注册参数,注册请求消息携带注册参数,该注册请求消息和中继模式信息携带在D2D消息中。再例如,假设注册信息为注册请求消息,D2D消息可以携带注册请求消息和中继模式信息。注册信息与终端设备的中继模式信息也可以分别发送给中继设备,例如,先将中继模式信息发送给中继设备,再发送注册信息,不予限制。
本实施例提供的方法,通过终端设备获得终端设备的中继模式,并向中继设备发送注册信息和终端设备的中继模式信息,使得中继设备能够基于该终端设备的中继模式信息和注册信息向AN节点发送注册请求消息,不但增加了终端设备注册的灵活性,还可以避免终端设备接入通信网络时造成的网络拥塞,例如,当注册请求消息用于请求对至少两个设备进行注册时,减少信令开销,节省无线资源。
可选地,在步骤201之前,还包括:终端设备与上述中继设备建立连接,例如:中继链路。
在一个示例中,当AN节点在终端设备所处位置的信号覆盖差时,该终端设备确定通过中继链路接入。然后,终端设备可以选择一个中继设备作为该终端设备的中继设备,并与该中继设备建立连接,以便于该中继设备为该终端设备提供中继服务。在一种可能的实现方式中,该连接可以是D2D连接。
其中,信号覆盖差可以包括:AN节点在上述位置的信号强度低于预设电平门限,和/或,AN节点在上述位置的信号质量低于预设质量门限。
可选地,上述方法还包括:终端设备保存该终端设备与该中继设备之间的中继关系。
其中,上述中继关系可以为中继设备的标识信息,例如:终端设备保存该中继设备的标识信息,表明该终端设备与该中继设备之间为长期中继模式。
上述中继关系也可以为中继设备的标识信息与终端设备的标识信息之间的对应关系。
上述中继关系还可以为终端设备的中继模式信息,例如,终端设备保存中继设备的标识信息以及该终端设备的中继模式信息。
当终端设备的中继模式为临时中继模式时,上述方法还可以包括:终端设备删除上述中继关系。例如,在终端设备与上述中继设备建立的连接上的数据传输完毕后,可以删除上述中继关系。
可选地,在步骤202之后,还包括:终端设备接收来自中继设备的该终端设备的注册区 域信息和/或注册更新定时器时长。
其中,终端设备的注册区域信息对应的注册区域与中继设备的注册区域可以相同;终端设备的注册更新定时器时长与中继设备的注册更新定时器时长可以相同。
具体的,该终端设备的注册区域信息和/或注册更新定时器时长可以携带在注册接受消息中发送给终端设备,也可以携带在其它消息中发送,不予限制。
其中,该注册区域信息可以包括小区标识列表,或跟踪区(track area,TA)标识列表,或注册区标识列表。注册更新定时器时长可以用于设置注册更新定时器。
需要指出的是,注册区域和注册更新定时器均可以用于发起注册流程,示例性地,当终端设备移出注册区域,或者,终端设备的注册更新定时器超时时,终端设备可以发起注册流程。
如图3所示,本申请第二实施例提供的通信方法的示意图,具体如下所述。
301、中继设备接收来自终端设备的注册信息和终端设备的中继模式信息。
其中,中继模式信息和注册信息,可以参见步骤202中的相关描述,不再赘述。
其中,终端设备可以通过该终端设备与中继设备之间的非直传链路与AN节点进行通信。
302、中继设备根据中继模式信息和注册信息,向AN节点发送注册请求消息。
其中,该注册请求消息可以携带在RRC消息中发送给AN节点。
相应地,AN节点在接收到步骤302中的注册请求消息后,可以将该注册请求消息发送给核心网节点。
其中,步骤302可以周期地执行,具体地,以注册更新周期为周期执行步骤302,换言之,由注册更新定时器触发执行步骤302。该周期可以为中继设备的注册更新周期,或终端设备的注册更新周期,或根据中继设备的注册更新周期,终端设备的注册更新周期以及预设方法获得的周期,不予限制。
此外,步骤302也可以在步骤301的触发下执行,例如,在接收到注册信息后立即执行;还可以在中继设备发起注册流程时执行,即在执行中继设备的注册流程时同时实现终端设备的注册,不予限制。
其中,注册请求消息可以包含下面两种情况:
第一种情况:当中继模式信息对应的中继模式为长期中继模式时,该注册请求消息用于请求对中继设备和终端设备进行注册。
可选地,在上述第一种情况下,步骤302包括:当中继模式信息对应的中继模式为长期中继模式时,中继设备根据终端设备的注册信息生成该注册请求消息,并发送给AN节点。例如,该注册请求消息携带终端设备的标识信息和中继设备的标识信息。
在上述第一种情况下,注册请求消息可以包含中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息和终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息;或者,中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息和终端设备的标识信息;或者,终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息和中继设备的标识信息;或者,中继设备的标识信息和终端设备的标识信息;或者,中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息,终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息,中继设备的标识信息和终端设备的标识信息。
其中,中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息可以用于AN节点确定中继设备的目标核 心网节点。例如,当中继设备注册的核心网节点可用,且中继设备所处位置在该中继设备注册的核心网节点的服务范围内时,AN节点将中继设备注册的核心网节点作为中继设备的目标核心网节点;否则,AN节点可以选择为该中继设备所处位置提供服务的核心网节点作为该中继设备的目标核心网节点。进一步地,AN节点可以将注册请求消息发送给该目标核心网节点。
中继设备的标识信息和/或上述中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息可以包含在注册请求消息中。当然,中继设备也可以通过其他消息向AN节点发送中继设备的标识信息和/或上述中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息,在此不做限定。
具体地,中继设备可以将中继设备的标识信息以及中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息携带在RRC消息中,即与上述注册请求消息携带在同一个RRC中发送给AN节点。
上述RRC消息也可以不包含中继设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息,而是仅携带中继设备的标识信息(例如,中继设备的永久标识,或5G-GUTI),此时,AN节点可根据该中继设备的标识获得该中继设备所处位置,进而根据该中继设备所处位置为该中继设备选择目标核心网节点。其中,如何选择目标核心网节点属于现有技术,不再赘述。
可选地,在上述第一种情况下,该注册请求消息包含注册类型和/或中继设备指示信息。其中,该注册类型可以用于指示该注册请求消息用于请求对中继设备和终端设备进行注册,或者,对至少两个设备进行注册。该中继设备指示信息可以用于指示多个设备中哪一个设备是中继设备。
在一种可能的实现方式中,注册请求消息包含该中继设备指示信息,属于显示指示方式。例如,注册请求消息包含终端设备的标识,中继设备的标识,以及中继设备指示信息。当中继设备指示信息设置为预设值(例如,1)时,表明位于消息前端的标识所对应的设备为中继设备。再例如,中继设备指示信息可以是中继设备的标识。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,可以采用隐式的方式指示中继设备,例如:通过终端设备的标识以及中继设备的标识在注册请求消息中的存放位置来识别中继设备。例如,可以将位于注册请求消息前端(更靠近注册请求消息的消息头)的位置存放中继设备的标识。
上述第一种情况通过注册请求消息同时实现中继设备和终端设备的注册操作,不需要分别对中继设备和终端设备进行注册操作,进一步节省注册流程导致的信令开销,大大节省了无线资源。
第二种情况:当中继模式信息所对应的中继模式为临时中继模式时,该注册请求消息用于请求为终端设备进行注册。
在这种情况下,该注册请求消息仅用于请求为终端设备进行注册,或者,该注册请求消息仅用于请求为至少一个终端设备进行注册。
具体的,当中继模式信息所对应的中继模式为临时中继模式,且注册信息是注册请求消息时,中继设备将从终端设备接收的注册请求消息发送给AN节点,或,中继设备根据终端设备发送的第一注册请求消息向AN节点发送第二注册请求消息。
例如,假设注册信息为注册消息,终端设备1和终端设备2均通过中继设备与AN节点通信,且终端设备1与中继设备之间的中继模式为临时中继模式,终端设备2与中继设备之间的中继模式为临时中继模式,中继设备在接收到终端设备1的第一注册请求消息和终端设备2发送的第二注册请求消息后,中继设备根据第一注册请求消息和第二注册请求消息生成第三注册请求消息,具体地,该第三注册请求消息可以携带终端设备1的标识信息和终端设 备2的标识信息,或者终端设备1注册的核心网节点的标识信息和终端设备2注册的核心网节点的标识信息,不予限制。
具体的,当中继模式信息所对应的中继模式为临时中继模式,且注册信息不是注册请求消息时,中继设备根据注册信息生成注册请求消息。
例如,假设注册信息为注册参数,终端设备1和终端设备2均通过中继设备与AN节点通信,且终端设备1与中继设备之间的中继模式为临时中继模式,终端设备2与中继设备之间的中继模式为临时中继模式,中继设备在接收到终端设备1和终端设备2发送的注册信息后,中继设备根据终端设备1和终端设备2发送的注册信息生成注册请求消息。具体地,该注册请求消息可以携带终端设备1和终端设备2发送的注册信息。即该注册请求消息用于请求对终端设备1和终端设备2进行注册,避免了每个终端设备独立进行注册流程而造成的信令开销大等问题。
可选地,中继设备还可以向AN节点发送终端设备的标识信息和/或终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息。
例如,终端设备的标识信息和/或终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息可以由中继设备通过解析终端设备发送的注册请求消息而获得。
终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息可以用于AN节点确定终端设备的目标核心网节点。例如,当终端设备注册的核心网节点可用,且终端设备位于该终端设备注册的核心网节点的服务范围内时,AN节点向终端设备注册的核心网节点发送注册请求消息;否则,AN节点选择为该终端设备所处位置提供服务的核心网节点作为该终端设备的目标核心网节点。进一步地,AN节点可以将注册请求消息发送给该目标核心网节点。
终端设备的标识信息可以用于AN节点获得该终端设备所处位置,并根据终端设备所处位置为该终端设备确定目标核心网节点。其中,如何选择目标核心网节点属于现有技术,不再赘述。
可选地,中继设备将终端设备的标识信息和/或终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息携带在同一个RRC消息发送给AN节点;或者,中继设备将终端设备的标识信息和/或终端设备注册的核心网节点的标识信息,以及上述注册请求消息携带在同一个RRC中发送给AN节点。
上述第二种情况能够实现至少一个终端设备通过中继设备完成其注册流程,不但避免了由于网络信号覆盖差等造成的注册失败问题,还实现了当多个终端设备通过一个中继设备进行注册时,可以更进一步的降低信令负荷,节省无线资源以及终端设备的电量。
本实施例提供的方法,中继设备接收来自终端设备的注册信息和终端设备的中继模式信息,并根据中继模式信息和注册信息,向AN节点发送注册请求消息,中继设备通过该注册请求消息能够发起一个或多个设备(例如,中继设备和终端设备,或至少两个终端设备)的注册流程,不但增加了终端设备注册的灵活性,还可以避免终端设备接入通信网络时造成的网络拥塞,例如,当注册请求消息用于请求对至少两个设备进行注册时,减少信令开销,节省无线资源。
可选地,在步骤302之后,还包括:中继设备接收注册接受消息。
其中,注册接受消息可以包含:
中继设备的注册区域信息和终端设备的注册区域信息,且中继设备的注册区域信息对应的注册区域与终端设备的注册区域信息对应的注册区域可以相同;和/或,
终端设备的注册更新定时器时长和中继设备的注册更新定时器时长,且终端设备的注册更新定时器时长与中继设备的注册更新定时器时长可以相同。
进一步地,还可以包括:中继设备向终端设备发送终端设备的注册区域信息和/或注册更新定时器时长。
具体地,中继设备可以直接向终端设备发送该注册接受消息,或者将终端设备的注册区域信息和/或注册更新定时器时长携带在其它消息中发送给终端设备,不予限制。
其中,注册区域,注册区域信息,注册更新定时器时长等均可以参见图2所示实施例中的相关描述,不再赘述。
如图4所示,本申请第三实施例提供的一种通信方法的示意图,具体如下所述。
401、AN节点接收来自中继设备的注册请求消息。
其中,注册请求消息可以用于请求对该中继设备和终端设备进行注册,该终端设备可以通过该中继设备与AN节点进行通信,该中继设备与该终端设备之间可以采用长期中继模式,参见图2中的相关描述,不再赘述。
该注册请求消息也可以用于请求对至少两个终端设备进行注册,该至少两个终端设备可以通过该中继设备与AN节点进行通信,该中继设备与该至少两个终端设备之间可以采用临时中继模式,参见图2中的相关描述,不再赘述。
下面分别针对注册请求消息的两种不同情况,对注册请求消息的内容进行说明:
第一种情况:注册请求消息用于请求对该中继设备和终端设备进行注册。
