背景技术
第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)协议中引入了双链接(dual connectivity,DC),即允许用户设备(user equipment,UE)同时使用两个基站进行数据传输,包括一个主基站以及一个辅基站。
3GPP中定义了切换主基站的流程。当检测到UE需要从源主基站切换到目标主基站时,例如,UE逐渐远离源主基站的覆盖范围,并且逐渐进入目标主基站的覆盖范围时就可能会发生从源主基站到目标主基站的切换,在主基站切换过程中,源主基站首先向目标主基站发送切换请求,随后目标主基站向辅基站发送添加请求,请求添加该辅基站,目标主基站等待接收到辅基站发送的添加请求回复之后,目标主基站才向源主基站发送切换请求回复,随后源主基站向辅基站发送释放请求,该释放请求用于指示辅基站释放源主基站与辅基站关于UE的连接,之后才向UE发送无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接重配置消息,UE根据该RRC连接重配置消息获取从源主基站切换到目标主基站的切换信息以及辅基站的配置信息,并从源主基站切换到目标主基站,以及添加辅基站。
因此,当检测到UE需要从源主基站切换到目标主基站时,源主基站向目标主基站发送切换请求后,需要等待目标主基站添加辅基站,UE才能进行主基站切换,等待的时长太长。若UE处于高速移动的状态,若等待时间太长,UE可能已不在目标主基站的覆盖范围内,则UE无法切换到目标主基站,导致切换失败。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
请参阅图1,本申请实施例中的一种网络架构示意图。
在本申请实施例适用的网络架构中,UE可以同时连接至少两个基站。其中,接入网可以包括长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中的演进的通用陆基无线接入网(evolved universal terrestrial radio access network,EUTRAN)、LTE-NR(new radio,新的无线接入)中的非独立组网(non-standalone,NSA),或除LTE系统外UE可以同时连接至少两个基站,并可以使用该至少两个基站进行数据传输的系统的接入网。其中,移动性管理实体(mobile management entity,MME)以及服务网关(serving gateway,S-GW)为核心网内网元,MME以及S-GW分别与接入网中的主基站之间建立连接,主基站被作为核心网的移动锚点。主基站与辅基站之间建立连接,辅基站可与UE进行数据传输。UE与主基站以及辅基站之间均建立有无线Uu口,该接口可用于传输UE发送以及接收的数据,即UE可以通过主基站与辅基站进行数据传输,网络的数据吞吐量得到了提升,提高了UE的通信效率。本申请实施例提供了一种快速切换主基站的方法、基站以及UE,使UE能够快速的从源主基站切换到目标主基站。当UE在高速移动,并且穿越主基站之间的覆盖范围时,能够快速切换主基站,提高UE切换主基站的成功率。
需要说明的是,本申请提供的技术方案可以适用于长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)系统,或其他采用各种无线接入技术的无线通信系统,例如采用码分多址,频分 多址,时分多址,正交频分多址,单载波频分多址等接入技术的系统。此外,还可以适用于使用LTE系统后续的演进系统,如第五代5G系统等。具体此处不作限定。
以LTE的EUTRAN或者LTE-NR的NSA为例,图1所示的网络架构下的其中一种数据传输以及协议栈如图2所示。其中,主小区承载(MCG bearer)的协议栈仅位于主基站,即该承载仅使用主基站进行数据传输;分叉承载(Split bearer)的协议栈位于主基站以及辅基站中,即该承载可同时使用主基站与辅基站进行数据传输;从小区承载(SCG bearer)的协议栈仅位于辅基站中,即该承载仅使用辅基站进行数据传输。Split bearer在主基站中配置一个数据包汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)实体,以及两个分别位于主基站与辅基站的无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)实体,还包括分别位于主基站与辅基站的、媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)实体和物理层(physical layer,PHY),以下行数据为例,主基站中的PDCP将部分PDCP协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)通过X2或Xn接口(LTE的EUTRAN中为X2,LTE-NR的NSA中为Xn)发送至辅基站中的RLC实体,之后由辅基站中的RLC实体进行下一步发送,另一部分发送至主基站中的RLC实体,之后由主基站中的RLC实体进行下一步发送。MCG bearer则直接由主基站中的PDCP将PDU直接下发至RLC实体,之后由主基站中的RLC实体进行下一步发送。SCG bearer则直接由辅基站中的PDCP将PDU直接下发至RLC实体,之后由辅基站中的RLC实体进行下一步发送。
在LTE的EUTRAN中,主基站可以是MeNB(master evolved Node B,主基站),辅基站可以是SeNB(secondary evolved Node B,辅基站),类似地,在LTE-NR的NSA中,主基站可以是MgNB(master gNode B,主基站),辅基站可以是SgNB(secondary gNode B,辅基站)。
请参阅图3,本申请实施例中的应用场景示意图。UE与源主基站以及辅基站均建立通信连接,使用源主基站以及辅基站进行数据传输,在实际应用中,若UE从源主基站的覆盖范围移动到目标主基站的覆盖范围,UE接收到目标主基站的目标信号的信号强度越来越强,而UE接收到源主基站的源信号的信号强度越来约弱,当目标信号的信号强度大于阈值或源信号的信号强度低于阈值,或源主基站将被关闭,可以是由UE本身发起主基站切换,也可以是由源主基站检测到UE的移动后发起主基站切换,具体此处不作限定。需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的源主基站与目标主基站可以是LTE的EUTRAN中的MeNB,也可以是LTE-NR中的MgNB,还可以是其他包括DC场景的系统中的主基站,具体此处不做限定,辅基站可以是LTE的EUTRAN中的SeNB,也可以是LTE-NR中的SgNB,还可以是其他包括DC场景的系统中的辅基站,具体此处不做限定。
请参阅图4,本申请实施例中的切换的方法的一种实施例示意图,包括:
401、源主基站向目标主基站发送切换请求;
UE当前附着于源主基站,当源主基站检测到UE从源主基站的覆盖范围移动到目标主基站的覆盖范围之后、当源主基站检测到目标主基站的信号强度大于阈值或大于源主基站的信号强度之后或当UE检测到目标主基站的信号强度大于阈值或大于源主基站的信号强度,并向源主基站发送切换请求之后,源主基站向目标主基站发送切换请求,目标主基站 通过该切换请求获取到源主基站请求将UE切换到目标主基站。
402、目标主基站向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息;
目标主基站接收到源主基站的切换请求,并确认UE可以切换到目标主基站后,目标主基站向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息,该切换请求确认消息用于通知源主基站允许UE切换到目标主基站。目标主基站在接收到源主基站的切换请求后,无需直接添加UE的辅基站,直接向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息,减少了目标主基站为UE添加辅基站的流程,可以缩短目标主基站与UE建立通信连接的时长。
403、源主基站向UE发送通知信息;
在源主基站确认目标主基站允许UE切换到目标主基站后,源主基站通知UE可以切换到目标主基站,UE接收源主基站发送的通知信息,通过该通知信息获取到从源主基站切换到目标主基站的切换信息。
404、UE与目标主基站建立通信连接;
在目标主基站为UE添加辅基站之前,UE根据通知信息中的切换信息接入目标主基站,与目标主基站建立通信连接,可以使用目标主基站进行数据传输。在本申请实施例中,目标主基站在接收到源主基站发送的切换请求后,确认UE可以切换到目标主基站站,无需为UE添加辅基站,直接向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息,以通知源主基站允许UE切换到目标主基站,源主基站通知UE切换到目标主基站,之后UE与目标主基站建立通信连接。在UE切换主基站时,减少了目标主基站添加辅基站的流程,可以缩短UE切换主基站的时长,提高UE切换主基站的成功率。
405、目标主基站为UE添加辅基站。
在UE成功从源主基站切换到目标主基站后,目标主基站为UE添加辅基站,UE接入辅基站,目标主基站与辅基站建立关于UE的通信连接,UE可以使用主基站与辅基站进行数据传输,提高了网络的数据吞吐量,提高了UE的数据传输效率。
在本申请实施例,目标主基站在接收源主基站发送的切换请求后,获知源主基站请求将UE切换到目标主基站,确认UE可以切换到目标主基站后,在为UE添加辅基站之前,向源主基站发送切换回复信息,以通知源主基站允许UE切换到目标主基站,之后与UE建立通信连接。减少了UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站的流程,缩短了UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站的时长,提高了UE在快速移动下切换主基站的成功率。在UE成功从源主基站切换到目标主基站后,再为UE添加辅基站,使UE能够使用主基站与辅基站进行数据传输,提高数据传输的效率,以及提高UE在快速移动的场景下切换主基站的成功率。
具体的,在日常应用中,小明持有一部移动电话,在下班回家时从B小区开车经过A小区,移动速度为100公里每小时,当移动电话处于B小区时,连接的主基站为主基站C以及辅基站D,辅基站D位于B小区与A小区之间,主基站C的覆盖范围为B小区。当小明从B小区快速移动到A小区时,移动电话接收到主基站C的信号的信号强度越来越弱,接收到主基站E的信号的信号强度越来越强,主基站E的覆盖范围为A小区。此时,主基站C检测到移动电话信号强度的变化,向主基站C发起切换请求,请求将移动电话从主基站C切换到主基站E,主基站E接收到主基站C发送的切换请求后,确认移动电话可以切 换到主基站E,无需添加辅基站,直接向主基站C发送切换请求确认消息,通知主基站C允许移动电话切换到主基站E,主基站C通知移动电话进行切换,并且将切换到主基站E的切换信息发送至移动电话,移动电话根据该切换信息与主基站E建立通信连接,移动电话与主基站E之间能够进行快速切换,无需等待主基站E添加辅基站D后再与移动电话建立连接,若移动电话处于高速移动的状态,可以在主基站处于主基站E的覆盖范围时,快速从主基站C切换到主基站E。主基站E与移动电话成功建立通信连接后,主基站E获取到移动电话的辅基站为辅基站D,之后主基站E为移动电话添加辅基站D,使移动电话可以使用主基站E与辅基站D进行数据传输,提供移动电话的通信效率。
前述对本申请实施例提供的方法进行了说明,下面对本申请实施例提供的方法进行进一步地阐述,需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的源主基站与目标主基站可以是LTE的EUTRAN中的MeNB,也可以是LTE-NR中的MgNB,还可以是其他除LTE外包括DC场景的系统中的主基站,具体此处不做限定,辅基站可以是LTE的EUTRAN中的SeNB,也可以是LTE-NR中的SgNB,还可以是除LTE外其他包括DC场景的系统中的辅基站,具体此处不做限定。请参阅图5,本申请实施例中的切换的方法的另一种实施例示意图,包括:
501、源主基站向目标主基站发送切换请求;
当UE从源主基站的覆盖范围移动到目标主基站的覆盖范围,或源主基站即将被关闭,对附着在该源主基站上的UE进行切换等,源主基站在接收到UE切换到目标主基站的请求、检测到UE移动到目标主基站的覆盖范围或源主基站通过不同途径确定UE需要切换到目标主基站等之后,源主基站向目标主基站发送切换请求,请求将UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站。例如,用户A此时正在开车,用户A使用的移动电话B此时也正在车内,跟随汽车移动,若移动电话B此时连接的主基站为基站C,而随着汽车的行进,移动电话B也跟随移动,从基站C的覆盖范围移动到基站D的覆盖范围,那么,可以由移动电话B或基站C向基站D发起移动电话B将主基站从基站C切换到基站D的请求。还例如,若用户A的移动电话B处于基站C与基站D的共同覆盖范围内,移动电话B连接的主基站为基站C,由于基站C与基站D的覆盖重复率高,基站C的使率低,因此需暂时关闭基站C,那么,移动电话B需要将主基站从基站C切换到基站D,由基站C向基站D发起请求。
502、目标主基站向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息;
目标主基站在接收到源主基站发送的切换请求后,获知源主基站请求将UE切换到目标主基站或UE请求从源主基站切换到目标主基站后,无需为UE添加辅基站,可以直接生成确认信息,该确认信息包括目标主基站允许UE从源主基站切换到自身,并向源主基站发送包含该确认信息的切换请求确认消息,通知源主基站允许UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站。在本申请实施例中,目标主基站在接收到源主基站发送的切换请求后,在目标主基站为UE添加辅基站之前,向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息,减少了UE切换主基站时添加辅基站的流程,可以缩短UE切换主基站的时长。
503、源主基站向UE发送第一RRC连接重配置消息;
源主基站在接收到目标主基站发送的切换请求确认消息后,确定UE可以从源主基站切换到目标主基站,并向UE发送第一RRC连接重配置消息,通知UE切换到目标主基站,该 第一RRC连接重配置消息中包含UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站的切换配置信息。
504、UE随机接入目标主基站;

在本申请实施例中,目标主基站在与UE建立通信连接,即UE从源主机成功切换到目标主基站后,才为UE添加辅基站,无需在UE与目标主基站建立通信连接时添加辅基站,减少了为UE添加辅基站的流程,可以缩短UE切换主基站的时长,当UE处于高速移动时,可以提供UE切换主基站的成功率。
507、辅基站向目标主基站发送辅基站添加请求确认消息;
辅基站接收到目标主基站发送的辅基站添加请求,获知目标主基站请求为UE添加该辅基站后,辅基站向目标主基站发送辅基站添加请求确认消息,允许目标主基站为UE添加该辅基站。
508、目标主基站向UE发送第二RRC连接重配置消息;
目标主基站在确认可以为UE添加辅基站后,向UE发送第二RRC连接重配置消息,该第二RRC连接重配置消息中包括该辅基站的配置信息。
509、UE随机接入辅基站;
UE接收到目标主基站发送的第二RRC连接重配置消息后,根据该第二RRC连接重配置消息获取辅基站的配置信息,并根据该配置信息接入辅基站,应理解,UE在切换主基站时,与辅基站的链接可以断开,也可以不断开,若与辅基站的连接未断开,则可以根据该配置信息重新接入该辅基站。
510、UE向目标主基站发送RRC连接重配置完成消息;
UE在成功接入辅基站后,向目标主基站发送RRC连接重配置完成消息,以通知目标主基站UE已接入该辅基站。

512、源主基站向目标主基站发送传输数据的序列号;
若UE在切换主基站时,源主基站正在传送数据,包括已经传送了部分数据,剩余部分数据还未传送完成,则源主基站可以将已经发送的数据的PDCP序列号发送至目标主基站,以使目标主基站获知已经传送的数据的序列号,防止数据丢失。例如,在UE进行主基站切换时,源主基站正在进行Split bearer或MCG bearer的数据传输,UE切换到目标主基站 后,源主基站传输的数据传输了三分之一,那么,源主基站将已经传输了的三分之一数据的PDCP序列号以及传输状态发送至目标主基站,以使目标主基站获知该三分之一数据的传输状态。
513、S-GW与源主基站进行数据前传;
S-GW在获知UE在进行数据传输时进行主基站切换,那么S-GW将源主基站已经传输的数据发送至源主基站,之后源主基站将该数据发送至目标主基站。
514、源主基站与目标主基站进行数据前传;
S-GW将源主基站已经传输的数据发送至源主基站之后,源主基站将该数据发送至目标主基站,例如,源主基站将已经传输了三分之一数据,那么,S-GW将该三分之一数据发送至源主基站,之后源主基站将该三分之一数据发送至目标主基站,保持传输数据的完整性,以防止UE切换主基站时出现数据丢失。
515、源主基站向辅基站发送释放请求;

需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,步骤512-521为可选的步骤。
在本申请实施例中,目标主基站接收到源主基站发送的切换请求后,该切换请求为请求将UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站,目标主基站向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息,以确认允许UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站。在UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站后,目标 主基站才为UE添加辅基站,将辅基站的配置信息发送至UE,使UE接入辅基站。若UE处于移动状态,目标主基站在接收到源主基站的切换请求后,直接回复该切换请求,等待UE从源主基站切换到目标主基站后,目标主基站才为UE添加辅基站,UE无需等待目标主基站添加辅基站后才与UE建立通信连接,减少了UE切换主基站的流程,减少了UE切换主基站的时长。
具体的,用户A的移动电话B处于移动状态,从主基站C的覆盖范围移动到主基站D的覆盖范围,此时,由移动电话B向主基站C发送切换请求后,或当主基站C检测到移动电话B接收到主基站D的信号的强度大于阈值时,由主基站C向主基站D发送切换请求,请求将UE的从主基站C切换到主基站D。主基站D接收到该主基站C发送的切换请求后,获知主基站C请求将UE切换到主基站D,此时主基站D无需为移动电话B添加辅基站E,减少为移动电话B添加辅基站的流程,直接向主基站C发送切换请求确认消息,以通知主基站C允许UE切换到主基站D。主基站C将UE切换到主基站D的切换信息包含于RRC连接重配置消息发送至UE,UE可以根据该切换信息接入主基站D,与主基站D建立通信连接。减少了移动电话B从主基站C切换到主基站D的流程,减少了切换时长,提高了移动电话B从主基站C切换到主基站D的成功率。主基站D在确认与移动电话B建立通信连接之后,获取到移动电话B对应辅基站E,并向该辅基站E发送添加请求,以请求为移动电话B添加该辅基站E,在接收到辅基站E的添加请求确认消息后与辅基站E建立关于移动电话B的通信连接,之后向移动电话B发送RRC连接重配置消息,该RRC连接重配置消息中包含了辅基站E的配置信息,移动电话A可以根据该配置信息接入辅基站E。以使移动电话B可以使用主基站D与辅基站E传输数据,提高了移动电话B的数据传输量。另外,主基站D添加辅基站E后,主基站C可以向辅基站E发送辅基站释放请求,辅基站E可以根据该辅基站释放请求释放与主基站C关于移动电话B的连接,同时保留移动电话B的上下文,防止在切换时传送的数据丢失。在移动电话B进行主基站切换时,主基站D在与移动电话B成功建立通信连接后,才为移动电话B添加辅基站E,能够减少移动电话B切换主基站的流程,可以缩短移动电话B在高速移动时
