Description

一种在用户设备上运行的方法及用户设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域。
背景技术
随着移动通信的快速增长和技术的巨大进步，世界将走向一个完全互联互通的网络社会，即任何人或任何东西在任何时间和任何地方都可以获得信息和共享数据。预计到2020年，互联设备的数量将达到500亿部，其中仅有100亿部左右可能是手机和平板电脑，其它的则不是与人对话的机器，而是彼此对话的机器。因此，如何设计系统以更好地支持万物互联是一项需要深入研究的课题。
为此，在2016年3月举行的第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP)RAN#64次全会上，提出了新5G无线接入技术的研究课题(参见非专利文献：RP-160671New SID Proposal：Study on New Radio Access Technology)。在该工作项目的描述中，未来新的通信制式的工作频段可扩展至100GHz，同时将至少满足增强的移动宽带业务需求、海量物联网UE的通信需求，以及高可靠性要求的业务需求等，该项目研究工作将于2018年结束。
在该课题的研究中，计划使用波束(beam)/波束赋形(beam forming)来进行信息的传输，具体包括在使用高频进行通信的时候，为了应对高频信道衰落过快的特性，采用发射比较细的波束。但是，利用较细的波束来进行信息传输容易受到外界变化的影响，比如手机的旋转，其他物体的遮挡等等。
在采用波束赋形的传输场景下，一旦为UE数据/信息传输服务的有效波束信号变弱或者低于预配置的阈值，数据/信息的传输被中断，可以认为发生了波束传输失败(beam failure)。UE将向网络发送相关的请求信息(例如，波束传输失败恢复请求，beam failure recovery request)，请求重新配置，或者恢复有效的工作波束。为了管理和控制波束传输失败恢复(beam failure recovery)这个过程，现有技术在MAC层设定了一个定时器 (beamFailureRecoveryTimer，BFR timer)。当UE发生波束传输失败的时候，启动这个定时器，如果波束传输失败恢复请求被网络侧成功响应，那么停止运行这个定时器；如果在这个定时器超时之前，UE还没有收到网络侧的响应，那么当定时器超时之后，MAC层会向上层指示链路重置失败或者波束传输失败恢复请求失败(beam failure recovery request failure)；上层收到该指示后，可以判定发生了无线链路失败(Radion link failure，RLF)，然后可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
值得注意的是，UE通过随机接入过程来向网络侧发送相关的请求信息，而随机接入过程有一个前导码发送计数器(preamble transmission COUNTER，以下简称COUNTER)，用来统计在随机接入过程中前导码(preamble)的发送次数，UE每发送一次前导码，COUNTER的值就加一，直到达到或者超过预设的最大发送次数。当COUNTER的值达到或者超过预设的最大发送次数时，MAC需要向上层(upper layer)指示发生了一个随机接入问题(RandomAccess Problem)。上层收到该指示后，可以判定发生了无线链路失败(Radion link failure，RLF)，然后可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
由此可见，在链路重配置或者波束传输失败恢复(beam failure recovery)过程中BFR timer超时或者COUNTER达到最大发送次数，都会导致上层判定RLF，并触发RRC连接重建立。
由于COUNTER和BFRtimer是相互独立的，因此存在下述情况：
情况一：当COUNTER达到或者超过最大发送次数时，BFR timer还在运行；
情况二：当BRF timer超时时，COUNTER还未达到或者超过最大发送次数。
在这两种情况下，UE无法根据收到的指示来判断当前链路是否真正发生了失败。例如，当发生情况一时，波束传输失败恢复过程还没有结束，而是UE仅在进行由波束传输失败恢复触发的随机接入过程中发生了问题，而随机接入发生问题的可能原因有多种，例如候选的波束测量不准确，或者发送的前导码发生了冲突等等。如前所述，波束发生失败的原因可能是由于手机的旋转、其他物体的遮挡，一旦这些障碍消除，之前工作的波束 仍然可以正常工作，UE极有可能在发生随机接入问题之后但在BFR timer超时之前恢复之前的工作波束，从而导致发生误判，进而造成不必要的连接重建立，以及资源浪费和UE的功耗。
又例如，当发生情况二时，BFR timer已经超时，但是随机接入过程还在进行，并且极有可能成功。那么在这种时候判定RLF也可能是误判，从而导致了不必要的连接重建立，进而导致不必要的资源浪费以及UE的功耗。
可见，如何对在上述情况下UE收到的指示进行区分，以及采取相应的措施是需要解决的问题。

下文以NR移动通信系统及其后续的演进版本作为示例应用环境，以支持NR的基站和UE设备为例，具体描述了根据本发明的多个实施方式。然而，需要指出的是，本发明不限于以下实施方式，而是可适用于更多其它的无线通信系统，例如eLTE通信系统，而且可以适用于其他基站和UE设备，例如支持eLTE的基站和UE设备。同时本发明不限于由于波束/波束赋形导致的无线链路中断的场景，还可以用于由于其他原因导致的无线链路中断场景下。
在采用波束赋形的传输场景下，一旦为UE数据/信息传输服务的有效波束信号变弱或者低于预配置的阈值，数据/信息的传输被中断，可以认为发生了波束传输失败(beam failure)。UE将向网络发送相关的请求信息(例如，波束传输失败恢复请求，beam failure recovery request)，请求重新配置，或者恢复有效的工作波束。为了管理和控制波束传输失败恢复(beam failure recovery)这个过程，现有技术在MAC层设定了一个定时器(这里称为beamFailureRecoveryTimer，BFR timer)。
当UE发生波束传输失败的时候，例如，MAC层收到来自下层的指示，进一步的，下层的指示可以是波束传输失败或者链路失败，又或者是链路重配置请求，又或者是波束传输失败恢复请求。一旦收到此类指示，UE会启动这个定时器；又或者MAC层判定需要发送波束传输失败恢复请求beam failure recovery request或者链路重配置请求时，也可以启动这个定时器。
如果在定时器运行期间，UE发送的链路重配置请求或者波束传输失败恢复请求被网络侧成功响应，那么停止运行这个定时器；如果在这个定时器超时之前，UE还没有收到网络侧的响应，那么当定时器超时之后，MAC层会向上层指示发生了链路重配置请求失败或者波束传输失败恢复请求失败(beam failure recovery request failure)，或者是向上层指示链路重配置请求或者波束传输失败恢复请求发生了失败，还可以是向上层指示链路重配置过程或者波束传输失败恢复发生了失败，因为链路重配置或者波束传输失败恢复的请求没有被响应，发生了失败，意味着链路重配置过程或者波束传输失败恢复过程发生了失败。这里以及下文将这类向上层的指示统一称之为向上层指示请求发生失败(request failure)；上层收到该指示后，可以判定发生了无线链路失败(Radion link failure，RLF)，然后可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
UE是通过随机接入过程来向网络侧发送链路重配置请求或者波束传输失败恢复请求请求的。可以基于非竞争的RA或者是基于竞争冲突解决的RA。在进行随机接入的过程中，有一个前导码发送计数器(preamble transmission COUNTER，以下简称COUNTER)，用来统计在随机接入过程中前导码的发送次数，在随机接入过程中与COUNTER相关的具体过程可以包括：
步骤一：启动COUNTER：当随机接入过程被初始化/触发时，设置COUNTER的值为一；
步骤二：统计在随机接入过程中前导码的发送次数：当UE在一个时间窗内没有收到给UE的响应时，以及当竞争冲突解决没有成功时(例如竞争冲突解决定时器超时时)，COUNTER的值加一；
步骤三：判断COUNTER的值是否等于最大发送次数值加一
-如果COUNTER的值不等于最大发送次数值加一，那么UE可以继续 发送前导码，以及还可以继续执行步骤二；
-如果COUNTER的值等于最大发送次数值加一，那么MAC会向UE的上层(upper layer)指示发生了随机接入问题(Random Access Problem)或者是向UE的上层指示发生了问题，该问题是一个随机接入问题，这里以及下文中统称为指示随机接入问题。上层收到该指示后，可以判定发生了无线链路失败，然后可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
这里判断COUNTER的值是否等于最大发送次数加一，等价于判断COUNTER的值是否超过(大于)预定的最大发送次数。如果COUNTER的初始值为零，那么这里的判断可以是判断COUNTER的值是否等于预定的最大发送次数。
以下，详细描述本发明的若干实施例。
下面将参考图1对实施例一进行描述。
实施例一
当COUNTER的值超过或者达到最大发送次数时，UE根据RA的触发原因判断是否需要向上层指示发生了随机接入问题。优选的，可以是
-如果COUNTER的初始值为零，当COUNTER的值达到最大发送次数时，UE根据RA的触发原因判断是否需要向上层指示发生了随机接入问题。
-如果COUNTER的初始值为一，当COUNTER的值超过最大发送次数时(或者等于最大发送次数加一时)，UE根据RA的触发原因判断是否需要向上层指示发生了随机接入问题。
具体地：
当COUNTER的值超过或者达到最大发送次数时：
-如果当前的随机接入过程是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的(triggered)或者引发的(initiated)，则UE，优选的，可以是UE的MAC层，认为或者判断随机接入过程失败，又或者认为或者判断随机接入过程没有成功完成。换句话说，UE将不向上层(upper layer)报告或者指示随机接入问题。这里的上层可以是UE的RRC层。
-如果当前的随机接入过程不是由于前述原因触发的，则UE，优选的，可以是UE的MAC层，向上层(upper layer)报告或者指示随机接入问题。这里的上层可以是UE的RRC层。
其中，前文以及下文所述的“随机接入过程是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的”，具体可以是下面的一种或者多种情况：
情况一：随机接入过程是被来自下层的指示触发的，进一步的，下层的指示可以是波束传输失败或者链路失败，又或者是链路重配置请求，又或者是波束传输失败恢复请求；
情况二：随机接入过程是由波束传输失败恢复请求或者链路重配置请求触发的。
前文以及下文所述的“随机接入过程不是由于前述原因触发的，”具体可以是下面的一种或者多种情况：
情况一：随机接入过程不是被来自下层的指示触发的，进一步的，下层的指示可以是波束传输失败或者链路失败，又或者是链路重配置请求，又或者是波束传输失败恢复请求；
情况二：随机接入过程不是由波束传输失败恢复请求或者链路重配置请求触发的；
情况三：随机接入过程是由PDCCH命令(PDCCH order)触发的；
情况四：随机接入过程是由RRC层触发的，例如可以是系统信息请求。
下面将参考图2对实施例二和实施例三进行描述。
实施例二
与实施例一的区别在于，当UE向上层报告随机接入问题时，还指出随机接入过程是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的。
具体的实施方式可以是：
当COUNTER值超过或者达到最大发送次数时：
-如果当前的随机接入过程是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的，则UE，优选的，可以是UE的MAC层，向上层(upper layer)报告或者指示随机接入问题，并指出这个随机接入过程或者 随机接入过程问题是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的。这里的上层可以是UE的RRC层。该方案的又一实施方式为，UE向上层指示了类型一的随机接入问题，所谓类型一的随机接入问题，是指随机接入过程或者随机接入过程问题是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的。
-如果当前的随机接入过程不是由于前述原因触发的，则UE，优选的，可以是UE的MAC层，向上层(upper layer)报告或者指示随机接入问题。这里的上层可以是UE的RRC层。该方案的又一实施方式为，UE向上层指示了类型二的随机接入问题，所谓类型二的随机接入问题，是指随机接入过程或者随机接入过程问题不是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的，而是由其他原因触发的，例如PDCCH order或者RRC层等。
基于UE向上层指示的随机接入问题，UE的上层，优选的，可以是RRC层，将采用不同的行为，具体可以是：
当收到类型一的随机接入问题的指示时，基于该指示，UE判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
又或者，
当收到类型一的随机接入问题的指示时，如果UE还收到了请求发生失败的指示，则UE判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
其中“当收到类型一的随机接入问题的指示时，如果UE还收到了请求发生失败的指示”具体可以是：
UE同时收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示以及请求发生失败的指示，或者UE在间隔很短的时间内既收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示又收到了请求发生失败的指示；
或者
UE首先收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示，然后收到了请求发生失败的指示，优选的，UE在收到类型一的随机接入问题的指示时，启动了一 个定时器，或者时间窗：
如果在这个定时器还在运行期间，或者还处在时间窗内，UE收到了请求发生失败的指示，那么UE判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程，以及可选的停止这个定时器或者时间窗；
如果当这个定时器超时了，或者已经超出了这个时间窗，那么UE丢弃(discard)之前收到的类型一的随机接入问题的指示，或者取消(cancel)之前收到的类型一的随机接入问题的指示。
又或者
UE首先收到了请求发生失败的指示，然后收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示，优选的，UE在收到请求发生失败的指示时，启动了一个定时器，或者时间窗：
如果在这个定时器还在运行期间，或者在时间窗包含的时间段内，UE收到了收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示，那么UE判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程，以及可选的停止这个定时器或者时间窗；
如果当这个定时器超时了，或者当前时刻已经超出了这个时间窗，那么UE丢弃(discard)之前收到的请求发生失败的指示，或者取消(cancel)之前收到的或者生成的请求发生失败的指示。
此外，当收到类型二的随机接入问题的指示时，UE可以判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为随机接入问题，进一步的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
实施例三
与实施例二的区别在于UE，特别是UE的上层，例如RRC层，收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示之时或者之后，可以指示UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，清除或者释放或者去激活用于波束传输失败恢复或者链路重配置的PRACH资源。从而避免UE重复发送前导码。
这一方案的又一种实施方式可以是UE，特别是UE的上层，例如RRC层，收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示之时或者之后，向UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，指示特定的配置或者参数；当UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，收到该配置或者参数后，认为用于波束传输失败恢复或者链路重配置的PRACH资源不可用，或者不存在，或者去激活。
这一方案的又一种实施方式可以是UE，特别是UE的上层，例如RRC层，收到了类型一的随机接入问题的指示之时或者之后，向UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，停止正在进行的随机接入过程，或者重置(reset)MAC层。
下面将参考图3对实施例四至实施例六进行描述。
实施例四
当COUNTER的值超过或者达到最大发送次数时，UE根据BFR timer是否运行或者RA的触发原因来判断向上层指示随机接入问题还是波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败。
具体的实现方式可以是：
当COUNTER的值超过或者达到最大发送次数时，
-如果随机接入过程是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的，那么UE，优选的，可以是UE的MAC层，认为(consider)BFR timer超时；优选的，如果BFR timer正在运行，则UE停止BFR timer，并向上层，可选的，上层可以是UE的RRC层，指示请求发生失败。
这一过程还可以被表述为：当COUNTER的值超过或者达到最大发送次数时，如果随机接入过程是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的，那么UE，优选的，可以是UE的MAC层，停止BFR timer，并向上层，可选的，上层可以是UE的RRC层，指示请求发生失败。
当UE，特别是UE的RRC层，收到这个指示之时或者之后，可以判定无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
-如果随机接入过程不是被与链路重配置或者波束传输失败相关的情况或者条件触发的，那么UE，优选的，可以是UE的MAC层，向上层， 可选的，上层可以是UE的RRC层，指示随机接入问题。
当UE，特别是UE的RRC层，收到随机接入问题指示之时或者之后，可以判定无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为随机接入问题，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
本实施例的又一种实施方式可以是：
当COUNTER的值超过或者达到最大发送次数时，
-如果BFR timer正在运行，那么UE停止bfr timer，并向上层，可选的，上层可以是UE的RRC层，指示请求发生失败；
当UE，特别是UE的RRC层，收到请求发生失败的指示之时或者之后，可以判定无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
-如果BFR timer没有在运行，那么UE向上层，可选的，上层可以是UE的RRC层，指示发生了随机接入问题。
当UE，特别是UE的RRC层，收到随机接入问题指示之时或者之后，可以判定无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为随机接入问题，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
实施例五
当BFR timer超时时，UE，特别是UE的MAC层，向UE的上层(upper layer)，优选的，可以是RRC层，指示请求发生失败；UE，特别是UE的上层，例如RRC层，收到请求发生失败的指示时，如果还收到随机接入问题指示，那么UE判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
其中，“收到请求发生失败的指示时，如果还收到随机接入问题指示”，具体可以是：
UE，特别是UE的RRC层，同时收到了请求发生失败的指示和随机接入问题指示；或者UE在间隔很短的时间内既收到了请求发生失败的指示，又收到了随机接入问题指示；
或者
UE，特别是UE的RRC层，首先收到了请求发生失败的指示，然后收到了随机接入问题指示；优选的，UE在收到请求发生失败的指示时，启动了一个定时器，或者时间窗：
如果在这个定时器还在运行期间，或者还处在时间窗内，UE收到了随机接入问题的指示，那么UE判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程，以及可选的停止这个定时器或者时间窗；
如果当这个定时器超时了，或者已经超出了这个时间窗，那么UE丢弃(discard)之前收到的请求发生失败的指示，或者取消(cancel)之前的请求发生失败的指示；
又或者
UE，特别是UE的RRC层，首先收到了随机接入问题的指示，然后收到了请求发生失败的指示；优选的，UE在收到随机接入问题的指示时，启动了一个定时器，或者时间窗：
如果在这个定时器还在运行期间，或者还处在时间窗内，UE收到了请求发生失败的指示，那么UE判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因为波束传输失败恢复失败或者链路重配置失败，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程，以及可选的停止这个定时器或者时间窗；
如果当这个定时器超时了，或者已经超出了这个时间窗，那么UE可以判断无线链路发生失败，以及可选的，UE可以设置RLF失败的原因值为随机接入问题，以及可选的，UE可以触发RRC连接重建立过程。
实施例六
与实施例四和实施例五的区别在于UE，特别是UE的上层，例如RRC层，收到了请求发生失败的指示之时或者之后，可以指示UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，清除或者释放或者去激活用于波束传输失败恢复或者链路重配置的PRACH资源。从而避免UE重复发送前导码。
这一方案的又一种实施方式可以是UE，特别是UE的上层，例如RRC 层，收到了请求发生失败的指示之时或者之后，向UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，指示特定的配置或者参数；当UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，收到该配置或者参数后，认为用于波束传输失败恢复或者链路重配置的PRACH资源不可用，或者不存在，或者去激活。
这一方案的又一种实施方式可以是UE，特别是UE的上层，例如RRC层，收到了请求发生失败的指示之时或者之后，向UE的下层，例如MAC层或者物理层，停止正在进行的随机接入过程，或者重置(reset)MAC层。
