技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及通信方法、第一终端设备和第二终端设备。
背景技术
在通信系统中,为了进一步提高用户体验,在提高传输数据包的性能方面提出了更高的要求。例如,在支持V2X(Vehicle to Everything)通信的车联网中,对提高数据包的传输性能显得尤为重要。
车联网是使用无线通信等技术收集车辆、道路、环境等信息,通过车-车(Vehicle to vehicle,V2V)、车-路(Vehicle to route,V2R)信息交互和共享,使车和基础设施之间智能协同与配合,从而实现智能交通管理控制、车辆智能化控制和智能动态信息服务的一体化网络。通过车联网,车载终端可以向周边车载终端发送传感信息或者控制消息,实现车辆自动驾驶或者编排行驶。
在车联网等其他通信系统中,终端设备间可以直接通过直连接口进行数据包的传输,而无需网络设备的参与,然而,通过上述直连接口传输数据包的性能有限,也就是说,直连接口传输数据包的效率限制了第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输数据包的性能。

具体实施方式
为了便于理解,先结合图1介绍本申请实施例适用的场景。
图1是本申请实施例应用的无线通信系统100。该无线通信系统100可以包括网络设备110和终端设备。网络设备110可以是与终端设备通信的设备。网络设备110可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端设备进行通信。
图1示例性地示出了一个网络设备和两个终端(第一终端设备120和第二终端设备130),可选地,该无线通信系统100可以包括多个网络设备并且每个网络设备的覆盖范围内可以包括其它数量的终端,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
可选地,该无线通信系统100还可以包括网络控制器、移动管理实体等其他网络实体,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,本申请的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、先进的长期演进(Advanced long term evolution,LTE-A)系统、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、新空口(New Radio Access Technology,NR)、5G等。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,终端可以包括但不限于应用于车联网中的终端设备,例如,可以是接入车联网的终端设备,例如,可以是车载终端设备;该终端还可以包括但不限于移动台(Mobile Station,MS)、移动终端(Mobile Terminal)、移动电话(Mobile Telephone)、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、手机(handset)及便携设备(portable equipment)等,该终端设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,例如,终端设备可以是移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、具有无线通信功能的计算机等,终端设备还可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置。
本申请实施例中,网络设备可以是接入网设备,例如可以是基站、发射和接收点(Transmit and Receive Point,TRP)或接入点,基站可以是GSM或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA中的基站(NodeB),还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(evolved Node B,eNB或e-NodeB),还可以是NR或5G的基站(gNB),本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
在图1所示的通信系统中,第一终端设备120可以通过直连接口与第二终端设备130进行通信,该直连接口可以理解为用于终端之间直接通信的空口,例如,可以是D2D接口,或者车联网中的PC5接口。通过上述直连接口在终端之间进行数据传输,可以无需网络设备参与数据的传输过程,有利于降低终端设备间传输数据的时延,但是,由于直连接口传输数据的可靠性不够高,不利于提高终端设备间传输数据的可靠性。
为了提高终端设备间传输数据的可靠性,本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法,有利于提高终端设备间传输数据包的效率。
下面结合附图,对本申请实施例的方法进行描述。
图2是本申请实施例的通信方法的示意性流程图。应理解,图2所示的第一终端设备可以是图1所示的第一终端设备,或者位于第一终端设备上的芯片;第二通信装置可以是 图1所示的第二终端设备,或者位于第二终端设备上的芯片。图2所示的方法包括步骤210至步骤240。
210,第一终端设备通过第一接口向第二终端设备传输第一数据包,所述第一接口为长期演进LTE制式中所述第一终端设备和所述第二通信装置直接通信的通信接口,或新无线NR制式中所述第一终端设备和所述第二通信装置直接通信的通信接口。
具体地,上述第一接口可以指上文中提到的用于终端设备之间直接通信的直连接口,例如,设备到设备(Device to device,D2D)接口,或者车联网中的PC5接口。
可选地,上述第一数据包为第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输的D2D数据包。
220,所述第一终端设备通过第二接口向所述第二通信装置传输第二数据包,所述第二接口为下列接口中的任意一种:所述第一终端设备与LTE网络设备通信的通信接口,所述第一终端设备与NR网络设备通信的通信接口,LTE制式中所述第一终端设备和所述第二终端设备直接通信的通信接口,NR制式中所述第一终端设备和所述第二终端设备直接通信的通信接口,LTE制式中所述第一终端设备和中继终端设备直接通信的通信接口,以及NR制式中所述第一终端设备和所述中继终端设备直接通信的通信接口。
具体地,上述第二接口可以是上文中提到的用于终端设备之间直接通信的直连接口,例如,D2D接口,或者车联网中的PC5接口。
在第二接口为直连接口的情况下,第二接口可以是第一终端设备与第二终端设备直接通信的直连接口;第二接口还可以是第一终端设备与中继终端设备直接通信的通信接口,也就是说,第一终端设备通过与中继终端设备通信的直连接口,向第二终端设备传输数据包。
需要说明的是,上述中继终端设备可以包括一个或多个终端设备,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
上述第二接口还可以是第一终端设备与网络设备通信的接口,又称非直连接口。例如,Uu接口。也就是说,第一终端设备通过网络设备向第二终端设备传输数据包。
可选地,当上述第二接口为非直连接口时,通过第二接口接收第二数据包的第二终端设备可以属于一个终端设备集合,也就是说,第一终端设备通过第二接口传输第二数据包的过程中,网络设备可以通过组播或广播的方式帮助第一终端设备将第二数据包发送至终端设备集合,该终端设备集合包括第二终端设备。
需要说明的是,上述第一终端设备通过网络设备向第二终端设备传输数据包,具体可以分为以下两种通信场景。
通信场景一:第一终端设备和第二终端设备属于同一个网络设备。也就是说第一终端设备和第二终端设备接入同一个网络设备时,上文中帮助第一终端设备向第二终端设备转发第二数据包的网络设备为第一终端设备和第二终端设备接入的网络设备。
通信场景二:第一终端设备和第二终端设备属于不同的网络设备。为了便于区分,将第一终端设备接入的网络设备称为第一网络设备,将第二终端设备接入的网络设备称为第二网络设备。此时,上文中帮助第一终端设备向第二终端设备转发第二数据包的网络设备,可以包括第一网络设备和第二网络设备。
在本申请实施例中,通过第二接口帮助第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输数据包,避免了现有技术中,第一终端设备仅通过一个接口向第二终端设备传输数据包,有利于提高 第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间传输数据包的性能。
进一步地,由于通过终端设备与网络设备通信的通信接口传输数据包的可靠性,高于通过终端设备之间通信的直连接口传输数据包的可靠性,因此,当上述第二接口为第一终端设备与LTE网络设备通信的通信接口,或者第一终端设备与NR网络设备通信的通信接口时,可以进一步提升第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输数据包的可靠性。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述第一数据包和所述第二数据包为同一数据流中相同的数据包。
具体地,上述第一数据包和第二数据包为同一数据流中相同的数据包可以理解为,第一数据包和第二数据包原本是应该通过同一接口,在同一路径上传输的一个数据包。也就是说,可以将第二数据包理解为对第一数据包进行复制生成的数据包,或者将第一数据包理解为对第二数据包进行复制生成的数据包。
在本申请实施例中,将一个待传输的数据包复制为两个数据包,即第一数据包和第二数据包,并分别通过第一接口和第二接口传输,相对于现有技术中只通过一个接口传输的方案而言,有利于提高数据包传输的可靠性。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述第一数据包和所述第二数据包为同一数据流中的不同数据包。
具体地,上述第一数据包和第二数据包为同一数据流中的不同数据包,可以理解为第一数据包和第二数据包原本是应该通过同一接口,在同一路径上传输的不同数据包。
在本申请实施例中,通过第一接口和第二接口分别传输属于同一数据流的不同数据包,相对于现有技术中仅通过一个接口传输第一数据包和第二数据包而言,有利于降低传输第一数据包和第二数据包的时延。
可选地,作为一个实施例,所述第一数据包和所述第二数据包被所述第二终端设备中的同一目标协议层实体汇聚。也就是说,现有技术中原本通过一个路径传输至同一目标协议层实体进行汇聚的数据包,在本申请实施例中,虽然分别通过两个不同的接口进行传输,但是最终汇聚的目标协议层实体仍然是相同的协议层实体。
为了实现上述将分别通过两个接口传输的数据包,发送至同一个目标协议层实体进行汇聚,本申请实施例对现有的协议栈进行了改进,提供了多种不同的协议栈。下文结合附图,详细说明每种协议栈的架构,以及传输数据包的方式。
第一类协议栈架构:适用于上文的通信场景一,且第一接口为上述第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信的直连接口,第二接口为第一终端设备与网络设备之间通信的非直连接口,其中,第一终端设备、第二终端设备、以及网络设备中的协议栈架构如图3所示。
图3是本申请实施例的通信系统中协议栈架构的示意性框图。应理解,图3仅仅示出第一终端设备、第二终端设备以及网络设备中与本申请实施例相关的协议层,第一终端设备、第二终端设备以及网络设备还可以包括其他协议层,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
从图3所示的协议栈架构中,第一终端设备和第二终端设备的直连接口对应的协议栈架构中添加了适配层(Adaption Layer),其中适配层可以位于第一终端设备的PDCP层和RLC层之间。第一终端设备和第二终端设备的非直连接口对应的协议栈架构中添加了路由层(Routing Layer),又称“第一路由层”。其中路由层可以位于第一终端设备的PDCP层和RLC层之间。网络设备在非直连接口对应的协议栈架构中添加了路由层(Routing  Layer),其中网路设备中的路由层的位置与第一终端设备中路由层的位置相同。
下文结合图3所示的第一接口的协议栈架构,介绍通过第一接口和第二接口传输数据包的过程。具体的数据包传输过程可以分为两种情况。为了便于说明,将第一数据包对应的协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)称为“第一PDU”,将第二数据包对应的PDU称为“第二PDU”。
情况一:第一数据包和第二数据包为相同的数据包。
在第一终端设备的PDCP层,对第一PDU进行复制生成第二PDU,第二PDU和第一PDU可以具有相同的PDCP序列号(Sequence Number,SN)。并将第一PDU传输至第一终端设备的适配层,将第二PDU传输至第一终端设备的路由层。
在第一终端设备的适配层,为第一PDU添加第一汇聚标识,第一汇聚标识用于指示在所述目标协议层实体对所述第一数据包进行数据汇聚,或者说第一汇聚标识用于指示对第一数据包进行汇聚的协议层实体。
在第一终端设备的路由层,为第二协议数据单元PDU添加第一路由头以及第二汇聚标识,所述第二PDU为所述第二数据包在所述第一终端设备的PDCP层的PDU,所述第一路由头用于指示传输所述第二数据包的路径,所述第二汇聚标识用于指示在所述目标协议层实体对所述第二数据包进行数据汇聚,或者说第二汇聚标识用于指示对第二数据包进行汇聚的协议层实体。
可选地,上述为第二PDU添加第一路由头,可以理解为以基于路由头(Routing-header)协议对第二PDU进行封装。第一路由头可以包括源信息(Source Information,Src Info),目的信息(destination Information,Dst Info),可选地,上述第一路由头还可以包括服务质量要求信息(Quality of Service Information,QoS Info)、时间信息(Time information,Time Info)以及测量信息(Measurement information,Measurement Info)中的至少一种,具体地的PDU封装结构可以参见图4。
具体地,上述源信息用于指示第一终端设备,具体地可以是第一终端设备的地址信息,例如互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)地址,媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)地址,第一终端设备的标识信息等。其中,第一终端设备的标识信息可以是国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number,IMSI),或者为了保护隐私网络可能分配给终端的临时标识,或者源终端位置信息等。
目的信息用于指示第二终端设备,具体地可以是第二终端设备的地址信息、第二终端设备标识信息、第二终端设备所在的终端设备集合的地址信息或第二终端设备所在的终端设备集合标识信息。如终端设备集合对应的IP组播地址,终端设备集合对应的MAC组播地址、或者网络分配的终端设备集合的群组ID等。
QoS信息用于确定传输第二PDU的服务等级,可以通过优先级表示。
Time信息用于表示与第二数据包相关的时间信息,例如,第二数据包的产生时间,第二数据包的预期发送时间、第二数据包的最晚发送时间等。
需要说明的是,上述第一终端设备获取目的信息的过程可以是由网络设备向第一终端设备指示的,也可以是第一终端设备和第二终端设备协商获取的,本申请实施例对第一终端设备获取上述目的信息的方式不做具体限定。
之后,将携带第一汇聚标识的第一PDU,以及携带第一路由头和第二汇聚标识的第 二PDU分别传输至第一终端设备的RLC层中不同的RLC实体。
需要说明的是,第一PDU和第二PDU在RLC层及RLC层之下的PDU处理过程,与现有技术中,传输PDU的过程基本相同,为了简洁,在此不再赘述。
网络设备在通过第二接口接收到第二数据包后,在网络设备中的路由层,通过第二PDU携带的目的信息,确定接收第二数据包的第二终端设备,并将第二数据包转发至第二终端设备。
第二终端设备通过第一接口接收第一数据包之后,在第二终端设备的适配层,对携带第一汇聚标识的第一PDU进行解封装,根据第一汇聚标识将第一PDU传输至对第一PDU进行汇聚的目标协议层实体,即PDCP实体。
第二终端设备通过第二接口接收第二数据包之后,在第二终端设备的路由层,对携带第二汇聚标识的第二PDU进行解封装,根据第二汇聚标识将第二PDU传输至对第二PDU进行汇聚的目标协议层实体,即PDCP实体。
第二终端设备的PDCP实体对第一PDU和第二PDU进行汇聚,在第一数据包和第二数据包是基于同一个数据包生成的情况下,PDCP实体可以丢弃上述第一数据包和第二数据包中的任意一个。
需要说明的是,上述情况一仅仅说明了第二数据包是基于第一数据包复制的情况,也可以是第一数据包是基于第二数据包进行复制生成的,具体地的其他传输过程与上文中描述的基本相同,为了简洁,在此不再赘述。
在本申请实施例所示的协议栈架构中,基于现有的协议栈中PDCP层对数据包进行汇聚的功能,对通过第一接口和第二接口接收的第一数据包和第二数据包进行汇聚,对现有的协议栈的改动较小。
情况二,第一数据包和第二数据包为不同的数据包。
具体地,在第一终端设备的PDCP层,将同一数据流中不同的两个数据包,第一数据包和第二数据包,分别传输至第一终端设备的适配层和第一终端设备的路由层,其中第一数据包的序列号和第二数据包的PDCP序列号不同。
需要说明的是,上述情况一和情况二中传输数据包过程,仅仅是在PDCP层是否需要对待传输的第一数据包进行复制的步骤略微不同,在情况二中,PDCP层无需再执行对数据包进行复制的过程,可以直接传输待传输的第一数据包和第二数据包。其中,第一数据包在第一接口对应的协议栈中的传输过程,与第二数据包在第二接口对应的协议栈中的传输过程与上述情况一中描述的数据包在协议栈中的传输过程相同,为了简洁,在此不在赘述。
第二类协议栈架构,适用于上文中的通信场景二,且第一接口为第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信的直连接口,第二接口为第一终端设备与网络设备之间通信的非直连接口。其中,第一终端设备、第二终端设备以及网络设备中的协议栈架构如图5所示。
图5是本申请实施例的通信系统中协议栈架构的示意性框图。应理解,图5仅仅示出第一终端设备、第二终端设备、第一网络设备和第二网络设备中与本申请实施例相关的协议层,第一终端设备、第二终端设备、第一网络设备和第二网络设备还可以包括其他协议层,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
图5所示的协议栈架构与图3所示的协议栈的架构基本相同,详细的介绍可以参见上 文中关于第一类协议栈的介绍,下文重点介绍与图3所示的协议栈的区别,即通过第一终端设备与第一网络设备之间的非直连接口传输第二数据包的过程。
由于第一终端设备接入第一网络设备,第二终端设备接入第二网络设备,因此在第一终端设备通过第二接口向第二终端设备传输数据包的过程中,需要通过两个网络设备进行转发,即在第一网络设备和第二网络设备上需要分别设置有路由层,用于将第二数据包转发至第二终端设备。
在第一终端设备的路由层,对第二PDU封装第一路由头的过程中,除了需要封装上文中提到的目的信息指示接收第二数据包的第二终端设备之外,还需要在第一路由头中封装第二网络设备的标识信息,具体地还可以封装第一网络设备的标识信息。换句话说,在第一终端设备的路由层,为第二PDU添加第一路由头的过程中,需要在第一路由头中添加可路由信息,可路由信息用于指示可以为第一终端设备向第二终端设备转发第二数据包的路由设备,具体地,路由设备可以包括第一网络设备和第二网络设备。
需要说明的是,上述第一终端设备所属的第一网络设备的标识信息和第二终端设备所属的第二网络设备的标识信息,可以通过第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间的协商获取。
第三类协议栈架构,通过网络设备配置实现通过第一接口和第二接口传输同一数据流中的数据包。
第三类协议栈可以理解为对上述第一类协议栈和第二类协议栈进行改进,通过网络设备配置的方式替代适配层,以及路由层中添加第一汇聚标识或第二汇聚标识的功能。图6示出了本申请另一实施例的通信系统中协议栈的架构的示意性框图,应理解,图6仅仅示出了第一终端设备和第二终端设备中协议栈架构,由于在第三类协议栈架构中网络设备的协议栈架构同上述第二类协议栈和第一类协议栈架构中网络设备中的协议栈架构,为了简洁,在此不再赘述。
在图6所示的协议栈架构中,第一终端设备将从PDCP层获取的第一PDU传输至第一接口对应的RLC实体,最终通过第一接口传输至第二终端设备;将从PDCP层获取的第二PDU传输至第二接口对应的路由层,进行添加第一路由头的处理,然后将携带第一路由头的第二PDU传输至第二接口对应的RLC实体,最终通过第二接口传输至第二终端设备。
具体地,在步骤210之前,所述方法还包括:所述第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一配置信息,所述第一配置信息用于配置所述第一终端设备通过所述第一接口传输所述第一数据包,且通过所述第二接口传输所述第二数据包。
需要说明的是,上述第一终端设备和第二终端设备所属的网络设备相同时,上述发送第一配置信息的网络设备为第一终端设备和第二终端设备所属的网络设备;第一终端设备和第二终端设备所述的网络设备不同时,上述发送第一配置信息的网络设备为第一终端设备接入的第一网络设备。
还应理解,上述第一终端设备接入第一网络设备,第二终端设备接入第二网络设备时,第一网络设备和第二网络设备协商确定可以用于为第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输数据包的第一接口和第二接口。最终,可以由第一网络设备向第一终端设备通过第一配置信息为第一终端设备进行配置,由第二网络设备向第二终端设备通过第三配置信息进行配置,第三配置信息与第一配置信息的功能相同,可以携带相同的指示信息,具体指示信息 的内容见下文详细描述。
可选地,所述第一配置信息携带下述指示信息中的至少一种:用于指示所述第一接口对应的无线承载和所述第二接口对应的无线承载相同的指示信息;用于指示通过所述第一接口传输所述第一数据包的目的地址与通过所述第二接口传输所述第二数据包的目的地址相同的指示信息;用于指示所述第一接口对应的逻辑信道和所述第二接口对应的逻辑信道相同的指示信息。
在本申请实施例中,通过网络设备配置第一接口和第二接口为第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输数据包,替代在协议栈的架构中新增适配层,有利于减小对现有协议栈的改进,减小改进协议栈所需的成本。
第四类协议栈架构:适用于上文的通信场景一,且第一接口为上述第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信的直连接口,第二接口为第一终端设备与网络设备之间通信的非直连接口,其中,第一终端设备、第二终端设备、以及网络设备中的协议栈架构如图7所示。相对于前三类协议栈架构而言,本申请实施例提供的设计思路是希望将第一终端设备中对通过第一接口和第二接口传输数据包的分流,以及第二终端设备中对通过第一接口和第二接口传输数据包的汇聚等操作,放在PDCP层之上进行。
图7是本申请另一实施例的通信系统中协议栈架构的示意性框图。应理解,图7仅仅示出第一终端设备、第二终端设备以及网络设备中与本申请实施例相关的协议层,第一终端设备、第二终端设备以及网络设备还可以包括其他协议层,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
从图7所示的协议栈架构中,第一终端设备和第二终端设备中添加了汇聚层(Convergence Layer),在第一终端设备和第二终端设备的直连接口对应的协议栈架构中添加了适配层(Adaption Layer),第一终端设备和第二终端设备的非直连接口对应的协议栈架构中添加了路由层(Routing Layer),又称“第二路由层”。网络设备在非直连接口对应的协议栈架构中添加了路由层(Routing Layer)。具体地,上述第一终端设备和第二终端设备中的适配层和路由层可以位于汇聚层与PDCP层之间,汇聚层、适配层和路由层可以整体位于业务数据适配协议(Service Data Adaptation Protocol,SDAP)层和PDCP层之间,也就是说,汇聚层位于SDAP层和路由层之间。
网络设备中设置的路由层和第一终端设备中的路由层可以提供路由层的对等实体,也就是说,网络设备中的路由层可以位于网络设备的PDCP层之上,具体的可以位于网络设备的PDCP层和网络设备的SDAP层之间。
下文结合图7所示的第一接口的协议栈架构,介绍通过第一接口和第二接口传输数据包的过程。具体的数据包传输过程可以分为两种情况。为了便于说明,将第一数据包对应的协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)称为“第三PDU”,将第二数据包对应的PDU称为“第四PDU”。
情况一:第一数据包和第二数据包为相同的数据包。
在第一终端设备的汇聚层,对第三PDU进行复制生成第四PDU,第三PDU和第四PDU可以被配置具有相同的汇聚层序列号(Sequence Number,SN)。并将第三PDU传输至第一终端设备的适配层,将第四PDU传输至第一终端设备的路由层,其中汇聚层序列号的作用与现有技术中PDCP序列号的功能相似,例如可以指示对数据包进行汇聚的顺 序,还可以用于重复检测,重复丢弃等。
在第一终端设备的适配层,为第三PDU添加第三汇聚标识,第三汇聚标识用于指示在所述目标协议层实体对所述第一数据包进行数据汇聚,或者说第三汇聚标识用于指示对第一数据包进行汇聚的协议层实体。
在第一终端设备的路由层,为第四PDU添加第二路由头以及第四汇聚标识,所述第四PDU为所述第二数据包在所述第一终端设备的PDCP层的PDU,所述第一路由头用于指示传输所述第二数据包的路径,所述第四汇聚标识用于指示在所述目标协议层实体对所述第二数据包进行数据汇聚,或者说第四汇聚标识用于指示对第二数据包进行汇聚的协议层实体。
可选地,上述为第四PDU添加第二路由头,可以理解为以基于路由头(Routing-header)协议对第四PDU进行封装。第二路由头可以包括源信息(Source Information,Src Info),目的信息(destination Information,Dst Info),可选地,上述第二路由头还可以包括服务质量要求信息(Quality of Service Information,QoS Info)、时间信息(Time information,Time Info)以及测量信息(Measurement information,Measurement Info)中的至少一种,具体地的PDU封装结构可以参见图8。
具体地,上述源信息用于指示第一终端设备,具体地可以是第一终端设备的地址信息,例如互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)地址,媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)地址,第一终端设备的标识信息等。其中,第一终端设备的标识信息可以是国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number,IMSI),或者为了保护隐私网络可能分配给终端的临时标识,或者源终端位置信息等。
目的信息用于指示第二终端设备,具体地可以是第二终端设备的地址信息、第二终端设备标识信息、第二终端设备所在的终端设备集合的地址信息或第二终端设备所在的终端设备集合标识信息。如终端设备集合对应的IP组播地址,终端设备集合对应的MAC组播地址、或者网络分配的终端设备集合的群组ID等。
QoS信息用于确定传输第四PDU的服务等级,可以通过优先级表示。
时间信息用于表示与第二数据包相关的时间信息,例如,第二数据包的产生时间,第二数据包的预期发送时间、第二数据包的最晚发送时间等。
需要说明的是,上述第一终端设备获取目的信息的过程可以是由网络设备向第一终端设备指示的,也可以是第一终端设备和第二终端设备协商获取的,本申请实施例对第一终端设备获取上述目的信息的方式不做具体限定。
之后,将携带第三汇聚标识的第三PDU,以及携带第二路由头和第四汇聚标识的第四PDU分别传输至第一终端设备的RLC层中不同的RLC实体。
需要说明的是,第三PDU和第四PDU在RLC层及RLC层之下的PDU处理过程,与现有技术中传输PDU的过程基本相同,为了简洁,在此不再赘述。
网络设备在通过第二接口接收到第二数据包后,在网络设备中的路由层,通过第四PDU携带的目的信息,确定接收第二数据包的第二终端设备,并将第二数据包转发至第二终端设备。
第二终端设备通过第一接口接收第一数据包之后,在第二终端设备的适配层,对携带第三汇聚标识的第三PDU进行解封装,根据第三汇聚标识将第三PDU传输至对第三PDU 进行汇聚的目标协议层实体,即第一汇聚实体。
第二终端设备通过第二接口接收第二数据包之后,在第二终端设备的路由层,对携带第四汇聚标识的第四PDU进行解封装,根据第四汇聚标识将第四PDU传输至对第四PDU进行汇聚的目标协议层实体,即第一汇聚实体。
第二终端设备的第一汇聚实体对第三PDU和第四PDU进行汇聚,在第一数据包和第二数据包是基于同一个数据包生成的情况下,目标汇聚层实体基于第三PDU和第四PDU携带的汇聚层序列号进行重复检测、重复丢包,可以丢弃上述第三PDU和第四PDU中的任意一个。
需要说明的是,上述情况一仅仅说明了第二数据包是基于第一数据包复制的情况,也可以是第一数据包是基于第二数据包进行复制生成的,具体地的其他传输过程与上文中描述的基本相同,为了简洁,在此不再赘述。
在本申请实施例所示的协议栈架构中,相对于前三种实施例而言,将用于对数据包进行汇聚的汇聚层从PDCP层中分离出来,有利于降低PDCP层对数据包进行处理的复杂度。
情况二,第一数据包和第二数据包为不同的数据包。
具体地,在第一终端设备的汇聚层,将同一数据流中不同的两个数据包,第一数据包和第二数据包,分别传输至第一终端设备的适配层和第一终端设备的路由层,其中第一数据包的序列号和第二数据包的序列号不同。
需要说明的是,上述情况一和情况二中传输数据包过程,仅仅是在汇聚层是否需要对待传输的第一数据包进行复制的步骤略微不同,在情况二中,汇聚层无需再执行对数据包进行复制的过程,可以直接传输待传输的第一数据包和第二数据包。其中,第一数据包在第一接口对应的协议栈中的传输过程,与第二数据包在第二接口对应的协议栈中的传输过程与上述情况一中描述的数据包在协议栈中的传输过程相同,为了简洁,在此不在赘述。
第四类协议栈,适用于上文中的通信场景二,且第一接口为第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信的直连接口,第二接口为第一终端设备与网络设备之间通信的非直连接口。其中,第一终端设备、第二终端设备以及网络设备中的协议栈架构如图5所示。
图9是本申请实施例的通信系统中协议栈架构的示意性框图。应理解,图9仅仅示出第一终端设备、第二终端设备、第一网络设备和第二网络设备中与本申请实施例相关的协议层,第一终端设备、第二终端设备、第一网络设备和第二网络设备还可以包括其他协议层,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
图9所示的协议栈架构与图7所示的协议栈的架构基本相同,详细的介绍可以参见上文中关于第一类协议栈的介绍,下文重点介绍与图7所示的协议栈的区别,即通过第一终端设备与第一网络设备之间的非直连接口传输第二数据包的过程。
由于第一终端设备接入第一网络设备,第二终端设备接入第二网络设备,因此在第一终端设备通过第二接口向第二终端设备传输数据包的过程中,需要通过两个网络设备进行转发,即在第一网络设备和第二网络设备上需要分别设置有路由层,用于将第二数据包转发至第二终端设备。
在第一终端设备的路由层,对第四PDU封装第二路由头的过程中,除了需要封装上文中提到的目的信息指示接收第二数据包的第二终端设备之外,还需要在第二路由头中封装第二网络设备的标识信息,具体地还可以封装第一网络设备的标识信息。换句话说,在 第一终端设备的路由层,为第四PDU添加第二路由头的过程中,需要在第二路由头中添加可路由信息,可路由信息用于指示可以为第一终端设备向第二终端设备转发第二数据包的路由设备,具体地,路由设备可以包括第一网络设备和第二网络设备。
需要说明的是,上述第一终端设备所属的第一网络设备的标识信息和第二终端设备所属的第二网络设备的标识信息,可以通过第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间的协商获取。
第六类协议栈,通过网络设备配置实现通过第一接口和第二接口传输同一数据流中的数据包。
第六类协议栈可以理解为对上述第四类协议栈架构和第五类协议栈架构进行改进,通过网络设备配置的方式替代适配层,以及路由层中添加第三汇聚标识或第四汇聚标识的功能。图10示出了本申请实施例的通信系统中协议栈的架构的示意性框图,应理解,图10仅仅示出了第一终端设备和第二终端设备中协议栈架构,由于在第六类协议栈架构中网络设备的协议栈架构同上述第四类协议栈架构和第五类协议栈架构中网络设备中的协议栈架构,为了简洁,在此不再赘述。
在图10所示的协议栈架构中,第一终端设备将从汇聚层获取的第三PDU传输至第一接口对应的RLC实体,最终通过第一接口传输至第二终端设备;将从汇聚层获取的第四PDU传输至第二接口对应的路由层,进行添加第二路由头的处理,然后将携带第二路由头的第四PDU传输至第二接口对应的RLC实体,最终通过第二接口传输至第二终端设备。
具体地,在步骤210之前,所述方法还包括:所述第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的第二配置信息,所述第二配置信息用于配置所述第一终端设备通过所述第一接口传输所述第一数据包,且通过所述第二接口传输所述第二数据包。
需要说明的是,上述第一终端设备和第二终端设备所属的网络设备相同时,上述发送第二配置信息的网络设备为第一终端设备和第二终端设备所属的网络设备;第一终端设备和第二终端设备所述的网络设备不同时,上述发送第二配置信息的网络设备为第一终端设备接入的第一网络设备。
还应理解,上述第一终端设备接入第一网络设备,第二终端设备接入第二网络设备时,第一网络设备和第二网络设备协商确定可以用于为第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输数据包的第一接口和第二接口。最终,可以由第一网络设备向第一终端设备通过第一配置信息为第一终端设备进行配置,由第二网络设备向第二终端设备通过第四配置信息进行配置,第四配置信息与第一配置信息的功能相同,可以携带相同的指示信息,具体指示信息的内容见下文详细描述。
可选地,所述第二配置信息携带下述指示信息中的至少一种:用于指示所述第一接口对应的无线承载和所述第二接口对应的无线承载相同的指示信息;用于指示通过所述第一接口传输所述第一数据包的目的地址与通过所述第二接口传输所述第二数据包的目的地址相同的指示信息;用于指示所述第一接口对应的逻辑信道和所述第二接口对应的逻辑信道相同的指示信息。
在本申请实施例中,通过网络设备配置第一接口和第二接口为第一终端设备向第二终端设备传输数据包,替代在协议栈的架构中新增适配层,有利于减小对现有协议栈的改进,减小改进协议栈所需的成本。
在上文中介绍的第一类协议栈架构至第六类协议栈架构中,都是基于第一接口为直连 接口,第二接口为非直连接口的方式介绍的,在本申请实施例中,上述第一接口和第二接口都可以为直连接口,例如第一接口为LTE制式中的直连接口,第二接口为NR制式中的直连接口。
当第一接口为LTE制式中的直连接口,第二接口为NR制式中的直连接口时,两个接口对应的协议栈架构是相同的,数据包对应的传输过程也是相同的。为了简洁,不在一一介绍,仅举出基于上述第一类协议栈架构和上述第三类协议栈架构进行变形后的协议栈架构。
图11示出了本申请实施例的基于双直连接口的协议栈架构的示意性框图,在图11所示的协议栈架构中第一接口对应的协议栈和第二接口对应的协议栈,与第一类协议栈架构中第一接口对应的协议栈的架构相同。具体的数据包传输过程可以参见第一类协议栈架构中关于通过第一接口传输数据包的过程,为了简洁在此不再赘述。
图12示出了本申请另一实施例的基于双直连接口的协议栈架构的示意性框图,在图12所示的协议栈架构中第一接口对应的协议栈和第二接口对应的协议栈,与第三类协议栈架构中第一接口对应的协议栈的架构相同。具体的数据包传输过程可以参见第一类协议栈架构中关于通过第一接口传输数据包的过程,为了简洁在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,还可以基于图11和图12所示的协议栈的架构进行变形,例如,如第二类协议栈架构和第四类协议栈架构的描述,通过网络设备配置的方式实现通过第一接口和第二接口传输同一数据流中的数据包,以替代适配层实现的功能,从而避免新增适配层带来的对第一终端设备的协议栈以及二终端设备的协议栈的改进。

相应地,第二终端设备通过多接口接收第一终端设备传输的第一数据包和第二数据包的功能,也可以由第二终端设备基于通信协议规定好的,也可以是网络设备为第二终端设备进行配置的,具体的配置方式参见网络设备为第一终端设备配置的配置过程。
应理解,上述步骤230所示的配置过程可以与上文中网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一配置信息,通过一次信令交互实现,例如,网络设备可以直接向第一终端设备发送第一配置信息,同时实现上述配置过程,并配置第一终端设备通过第一接口和第二接口向第二终端设备传输第一数据包和第二数据包。上述步骤230所示的配置过程也可以与上文中网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一配置信息,通过两次信令交互的方式实现,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
