技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种辅小区组维护方法、终端设备及网络节点。
背景技术
第五代(5Generation,5G)移动通信系统中,终端设备例如用户设备(User Equipment,UE)可采用双重连接(Dual Connectivity,DC)架构,包括两个小区组,分别为主小区组(Master Cell Group,MCG)和辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group,SCG),该MCG对应于网络侧的主节点(Master Node,MN),该SCG对应于网络侧的辅节点(secondary node,SN)。具体地,该MCG包括主小区(Primary Cell,PCell)和辅小区(Secondary Cell,SCell),该SCG包括主辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell,PSCell)和SCell,而该PCell和PSCell又可统称为特殊小区(Special Cell,SpCell)。
当前,UE条件切换的主要过程为:源节点向一个或多个目标节点发送切换请求信息;目标节点向源节点反馈切换确认信息;源节点向UE发送条件切换的配置信息;UE评估候选小区是否满足切换的条件,满足后选择一个目标小区进行切换;UE在选择的目标小区发起随机接入过程;UE向目标节点发送切换完成信息;源节点向其他目标节点发送取消条件切换命令;其他目标节点向源节点发送条件切换取消确认命令。
在DC架构下,通信系统常需要部署大量的小小区和小基站,此时若采用相关技术中的基于条件的SCG维护过程,即对SCG进行改变,则需进行大量的配置信令操作,从而造成信令损耗,并可能无法即时有效的改变SCG小区,导致发生SCG失败,导致SCG的数据传输中断。
