本公开涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种层2处理方法、CU及DU。
背景技术
在移动通信系统的未来发展中,为了更好的满足用户需求,极大提升网络容量和吞吐量,必将会引入更多的传输节点和更大的传输带宽。在第五代移动通信(5th-Generation,简称5G)系统中,为了具有更大的带宽和更大的传输速率,引入高频小站将是一个必然趋势。由于对高频小站采用本地集中化的管理,将能带来集中处理增益,因此引入了中心单元(Central Unit,简称CU)-分布式单元(Distributed Unit,简称DU)架构。
当前,在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)系统中,网络侧的节点之间大多进行有线连接,即基站eNB之间通过有线链路连接,eNB和核心网节点,例如移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,简称MME)、服务网关(Serving GateWay,简称S-GW)等,之间也通过有线链路连接。在多连接技术中,主节点(Main Node,简称MN)可以通过从节点(Slave Node,简称SN)修正过程触发SN的同步重配置过程。
在CU-DU架构下,基站gNB包含有CU和DU,其中CU负责gNB的主要功能,比如移动性管理和终端(User Equipment,简称UE)的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称RRC)等功能,DU负责gNB的子功能,DU的操作被CU所控制。
相关技术中,所有的无线接入网(Radio Access Network,简称RAN)操作均在eNB完成,流程较为简单和清晰。但引入CU-DU架构之后,CU和DU之间如何协作,以完成包括承载转换、安全秘钥更新等重要功能,目前却 没有明确的解决方案。

参见图1所示,本公开实施例提供了一种层2处理方法,应用于CU,包括如下步骤:
步骤101:向DU发送信道重建指示信息。
其中,信道重建指示信息可为层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息,用于指示DU执行层2复位操作(即同步重配置操作),也可用于指示DU对需重建逻辑信道的承载执行逻辑信道重建操作。
需指出的是,本公开实施例的执行主体具体可为CU控制面(CU-CP),即由CU-CP进行层2处理过程。
步骤102:接收DU发送的响应消息。
应说明的是,当信道重建指示信息用于指示DU执行层2复位操作或者同步重配置操作时,对应的响应消息中携带有同步配置参数信息,比如随机接入信道(Random Access Channel,简称RACH)配置信息等。当信道重建指示信息用于指示DU对需重建逻辑信道的承载执行逻辑信道重建操作时,对应的响应消息中携带有新的逻辑信道标识信息。
步骤103:根据响应消息,生成RRC重配置消息。
步骤104:将RRC重配置消息发送给UE,由UE执行相应操作。
其中,CU在将RRC重配置消息发送给UE时,可以通过CU和UE之间的连接链路直接将RRC重配置消息发给UE,也可以通过基站的中转间接将RRC重配置消息发给UE,
本公开实施例的层2处理方法,通过向DU发送信道重建指示信息,接收DU发送的响应消息,根据响应消息,生成RRC重配置消息,将RRC重配置消息发送给UE,由UE执行相应操作,能够使得CU可以控制DU执行 特定的层2行为来满足不同的特性需求,DU也能根据来自CU的指示执行特定行为,从而明确在CU-DU架构下,CU和DU之间如何协作,以完成包括承载转换、安全秘钥更新等重要功能,提高系统效率,提升用户体验。
参见图2所示,本公开另一实施例还提供了一种层2处理方法,应用于CU,包括如下步骤:
步骤201:向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息。
其中,层2复位指示信息可称为同步重配置指示信息,两者的指示信息相同。层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息可用于指示DU执行层2复位操作,或者用于指示DU执行同步重配置操作。DU执行的层2复位操作或同步重配置操作包括但不限于,媒体介入控制层(Media Access Control,简称MAC)复位操作,所有无线链路层控制(Radio Link Control,简称RLC)实体的重建操作等。
本公开实施例中,CU向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息的过程可为:
CU通过UE上下文修改消息中的一个指示位向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息;或者
CU通过UE移动指令消息向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息。
其中,CU在通过UE移动指令消息向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息时,可通过在UE移动指令消息中不携带RRC消息的方式隐式向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息;或者,通过在UE移动指令消息中指明切换目标小区为当前服务小区的方式向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息。
步骤202:接收DU发送的同步配置参数信息。
其中,同步配置参数信息可携带于DU向CU发送的响应消息中发送,以便于后续UE使用。CU在接收DU发送的同步配置参数信息时,可接收DU通过RRC容器方式发送的同步配置参数信息,即DU可通过RRC容器方式发送同步配置参数信息。进一步的,DU发送的同步配置参数信息中可包括用于同步的专用接入资源信息和/或新目标资源上的用户标识CRNTI等。
本公开实施例中,DU向CU发送的响应消息中除携带有同步配置参数信息外,还可携带有DU为每个数据无线承载(Data Radio Bearer,简称DRB)新分配的下行传输地址(比如隧道标识等),以便于CU使用。该新分配的下行传输地址可采用接口信息元素的形式传输。
步骤203:根据同步配置参数信息,生成RRC重配置消息。
其中,RRC重配置消息中携带有来自DU的同步配置参数信息。
步骤204:将RRC重配置消息发送给UE,由UE执行相应操作。
需指出的是,UE执行的相应操作具体为层2复位操作或者所有承载对应的逻辑信道的重建操作,以及UE到DU的上行接入操作。
这样,本公开实施例的层2处理方法,可使得CU控制DU执行特定的层2行为,DU根据来自CU的指示执行特定行为,使得CU和DU可协作控制UE执行对应的层2复位操作或者所有承载对应的逻辑信道的重建操作。
本公开实施例中,CU在向DU发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息之后,DU将执行层2复位操作或者所有承载对应的逻辑信道的重建操作(即同步重配置操作)。具体的,针对DRB,DU将停止空口传输,并将从UE处接收到的所有DRB上的上行分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol),简称PDCP)协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,简称PDU)数据乱序递交给CU,并向CU发送下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息,同时,清空UE对应的各个缓冲区的所有数据包。而一旦接收到来自DU的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息后,CU将针对所有DRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密。CU一旦接收到来自UE的同步指示消息,比如RACH接入成功消息,空口将开始发送或接收新的数据。
具体的,步骤201之后,本公开实施例的方法还可包括:
CU接收DU发送的从UE处接收到的所有DRB上的上行PDCP PDU数据,和接收DU发送的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息。
为了区别常规的下行传输状态信息,可选地,该下行传输状态信息中可包括旧的数据传输结束指示信息。
进一步的,在接收到DU发送的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息之后,CU可针对所有DRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密;或者,根据来自DU的响应消息,针对所有DRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密;或者,根据来自UE的PDCP状态报告信息,针对所有DRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密;或者,根据来自UE的RRC重配置完成消息,针对所有DRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密(即在接收到来自UE的RRC重配置完成消息后,针对所有DRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密);或者,在本地定时器超时后,针对所有DRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密,该本地定时器是在发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息后开启的,时长可预先设置。
此外,针对信令无线承载(Signaling Radio Bearer,简称SRB),在接收到DU发送的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息之后,CU可根据任一个DRB的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息,针对所有SRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密;或者,根据来自DU的响应消息,针对所有SRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密;或者,在本地定时器超时后,针对所有SRB启用新的秘钥进行加密和解密,该本地定时器是在发送层2复位指示信息或同步重配置指示信息后开启的,时长可预先设置。
参见图3所示,本公开另一实施例还提供了一种层2处理方法,应用于CU,包括如下步骤:
步骤301:向DU发送信道重建指示信息。
其中,信道重建指示信息用于指示需重建逻辑信道的承载和指示DU对需重建逻辑信道的承载执行逻辑信道重建操作。DU执行的逻辑信道重建操作包括但不限于,相关RLC实体的重建操作等。
本公开实施例中,CU向DU发送信道重建指示信息的过程可为:
CU通过UE上下文修改消息中的一个显示指示位向DU发送信道重建指示信息;或者
CU通过在UE上下文修改消息中添加或删除DRB的方式隐式向DU发送信道重建指示信息。
步骤302:接收DU发送的新的逻辑信道标识信息。
其中,新的逻辑信道标识信息可携带于DU向CU发送的响应消息中发 送,以便于后续UE使用。CU在接收DU发送的新的逻辑信道标识信息时,可接收DU通过RRC容器方式发送的新的逻辑信道标识信息,即DU可通过RRC容器方式发送新的逻辑信道标识信息。
本公开实施例中,DU向CU发送的响应消息中除携带有新的逻辑信道标识信息外,还可携带有DU为需重建逻辑信道的承载新分配的下行传输地址(比如隧道标识等),以便于CU使用。该新分配的下行传输地址可采用接口信息元素的形式传输。

其中,RRC重配置消息中携带有来自DU的新的逻辑信道标识信息。
步骤304:将RRC重配置消息发送给UE,由UE执行相应操作。
需指出的是,UE执行的相应操作具体为需重建逻辑信道的承载对应的逻辑信道的重建操作。
这样,本公开实施例的层2处理方法,可使得CU控制DU执行特定的层2行为,DU根据来自CU的指示执行特定行为,使得CU和DU可协作控制UE执行需重建逻辑信道的承载对应的逻辑信道的重建操作。
本公开实施例中,CU在向DU发送信道重建指示信息之后,DU将执行逻辑信道重建操作。具体的,DU将从UE处接收到的需重建逻辑信道的承载上的上行PDCP PDU数据乱序递交给CU,并向CU发送下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息,同时,清空需重建逻辑信道的承载对应的各个缓冲区的所有数据包。而一旦接收到来自DU的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息之后,CU将处理该上行PDCP PDU数据对应的PDU。
具体的,步骤301之后,本公开实施例的方法还可包括:
CU接收DU发送的从UE处接收到的需重建逻辑信道的承载上的上行PDCP PDU数据,和接收DU发送的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息。
进一步的,在接收到DU发送的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息之后,CU将处理上行PDCP PDU数据对应的PDU。
为了区别常规的下行传输状态信息,可选地,该下行传输状态信息中可 包括旧的数据传输结束指示信息。
此外,当接收到UE的重配置完成消息时,CU可针对新的承载接收或发送新的数据包。

步骤63:DU执行逻辑信道重建操作,包括但不限于相关RLC实体执行重建操作等。
具体的,DU将从UE处接收到的需重建逻辑信道的承载上的上行PDCP PDU数据乱序递交给CU,并向CU反馈下行传输状态信息(可根据来自UE的ACK消息)或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息;同时,清空需重建逻辑信道的承载对应的各个缓冲区的所有数据包。
而一旦接收到来自DU的下行传输状态信息或者其他请求传输新数据的指示信息之后,CU将处理该上行PDCP PDU数据对应的PDU。一旦接收到来自UE的重配置完成消息,针对新改变的承载,网络侧开始发送或接收新的数据包。
