Description
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。
随着第五代移动通信技术(5G)的发展,在运营商的部署中,可以配置工作在演进的通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入(evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access,E-UTRA)系统中的基站和工作在5G新无线(new radio,NR)系统中的基站一起与终端设备进行通信,也就是,终端设备可以同时连接到工作在E-UTRA系统中的基站(以下简称为E-UTRA基站)和工作在NR系统中的基站(以下简称为NR基站),这样就可以既利用E-UTRA系统的频率传输数据,也利用NR系统的频率传输数据,从而提高终端设备的吞吐量。这种终端设备同时连接到两个不同接入技术的基站的场景,可以称为多接入技术双连接(multi-RAT dual connectivity,MR-DC)。
在MR-DC场景下,主基站(master node,MN)和辅基站(secondary node,SN)会一起与终端设备进行通信合作。终端设备需要把MR-DC的能力上报给主基站和辅基站,即终端设备支持的E-UTRA能力和NR能力对于主基站和辅基站都是可见的。但是,由主基站负责在主基站和辅基站之间协调终端设备的能力,例如频带组合能力和基带处理能力等。主基站把可以用来配置辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)的UE能力提供给辅基站。辅基站可以向主基站请求用于配置SCG的UE能力,但最终由主基站确定是接受还是拒绝辅基站SN的能力请求。
从通信的硬件角度,要求终端设备中一部分通信的硬件与主基站进行通信,另一部分与辅基站进行通信。终端设备的通信的硬件能力包括如射频能力和基带处理能力等,射频能力表现在终端设备可以使用多少个频率资源与基站通信,基带处理能力表现在终端设备与基站进行通信时的传输速率。一般来说终端设备的射频能力和基带处理能力是确定的,终端设备与一个基站进行通信时占用的硬件能力多,那么与另外一个基站进行通信时占用的硬件能力就会少,反之亦然。这就要求当终端设备与两个基站进行通信时,必须合理的协调或划分每个基站的能力,这样两个基站才能合理地进行数据的调度。
前文介绍了,在MR-DC场景下,终端设备可以向基站发送终端设备的能力信息。但是在MR-DC场景下,终端设备只是向基站发送了终端设备的能力信息,而基站侧并不知道如何在主基站和辅基站之间分配终端设备的能力,这样可能会导致基站和终端设备都无法正常工作。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置,用于保证基站和终端设备在MR-DC场景下能够正常工作。
第一方面,提供第一种通信方法,该方法可由通信装置执行,该通信装置例如为终端设备或设置在终端设备中的芯片。该方法包括:终端设备确定第一匹配关系,所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,其中,所述至少一个第一能力信息包括所述终端设备在第一通信系统的能力信息,所述至少一个第二能力信息包括所述终端设备在第二通信系统的能力信息;所述终端设备向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送所述第一匹配关系,其中,所述终端设备同时连接到所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备,所述第一网络设备工作在所述第一通信系统下,所述第二网络设备工作在所述第二通信系统下。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以确定第一匹配关系,第一匹配关系指示了终端设备的第一能力信 息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,那么网络设备根据该第一匹配关系在就可以确定终端设备的能力划分情况,也就是可以确定应该如何为主网络设备和辅网络设备分配终端设备的能力。例如网络设备选择按照一种第一匹配关系来分配,为主网络设备分配该第一匹配关系所指示的第一能力信息,为辅网络设备分配该第一匹配关系所指示的第二能力信息,只要分配的能力信息满足第一匹配关系,终端设备就能够正常按其能力工作,网络设备也就能正常调度终端设备。可见,通过本申请实施例提供的方法,能够使得网络设备和终端设备在MR-DC的场景下实现正常工作。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送所述至少一个第一能力信息;所述终端设备向所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送所述至少一个第二能力信息。
既然终端设备会向至少一个网络设备发送第一匹配关系,那么终端设备可以先将至少一个第一能力信息发送给至少一个网络设备,则至少一个网络设备就可以根据至少一个第一能力信息和第一匹配关系确定终端设备的能力划分。同理,如果至少一个网络设备需要获得至少一个第二能力信息,则终端设备也可以将至少一个第二能力信息发送给至少一个网络设备。其中,如果终端设备既要向网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息也要发送至少一个第二能力信息,那么终端设备可以通过一条消息将至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息一并发送给至少一个网络设备,以节省信令开销,或者终端设备也可以通过不同的消息分别将至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息发送给至少一个网络设备,这样分开发送可以尽量避免能力信息的混淆。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第二种可能的实施方式中,所述第一能力信息为所述终端设备在所述第一通信系统的第一部分能力信息,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息,所述第三能力信息为所述终端设备在所述第一通信系统的第二部分能力信息。
在前面介绍了,第一能力信息包括终端设备在第一通信系统的能力信息,而第一能力信息所包括的有可能是终端设备在第一通信系统的第一部分能力信息,也就是说第一能力信息包括的只是终端设备在第一通信系统中的一部分能力信息,那么为了使得网络设备获得终端设备在第一通信系统中的更多的能力信息,终端设备还可以向至少一个网络设备发送终端设备在第一通信系统的第二部分能力信息。作为一种示例,终端设备在第一通信系统中的第一部分能力信息和第二部分能力信息的总和就是终端设备在第一通信系统中的全部的能力信息,这样就可以使得网络设备能够获得终端设备的全部的能力信息,从而能够更好地对终端设备进行调度。
结合第一方面的第二种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第三种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息标识,一个所述第三能力信息标识指示一个所述第三能力信息。
也就是说,终端设备向至少一个网络设备发送的,可以是第三能力信息的标识,也就是第三能力信息标识,网络设备接收第三能力信息标识后,同样能够确定终端设备的第三能力信息。而第三能力信息标识相对于第三能力信息本身来说,信息量一般都比较小,通过这种方式可以有效节省传输开销。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第三种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第四种可能的实施方式中,所述第二能力信息为所述终端设备在所述第二通信系统的第一部分能力信息,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一个第四能力信息,所述第四能力信息为所述终端设备在所述第二通信系统的第二部分能力信息。
与第一能力信息类似的,第二能力信息所包括的有可能是终端设备在第二通信系统的第一部分能力 信息,也就是说第二能力信息包括的也只是终端设备在第二通信系统中的一部分能力信息,那么为了使得网络设备获得终端设备在第二通信系统中的更多的能力信息,终端设备还可以向至少一个网络设备发送终端设备在第二通信系统的第二部分能力信息。作为一种示例,终端设备在第二通信系统中的第一部分能力信息和第二部分能力信息的总和就是终端设备在第二通信系统中的全部的能力信息,这样就可以使得网络设备能够获得终端设备的全部的能力信息,从而能够更好地对终端设备进行调度。
结合第一方面的第四种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第五种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一个第四能力信息标识,一个所述第四能力信息标识指示一个所述第四能力信息。
与第三能力信息标识同理,终端设备向至少一个网络设备发送的,也可以是第四能力信息的标识,也就是第四能力信息标识,网络设备接收第四能力信息标识后,同样能够确定终端设备的第四能力信息。而第四能力信息标识相对于第四能力信息本身来说,信息量一般都比较小,通过这种方式可以有效节省传输开销。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第五种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第六种可能的实施方式中,所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系具体包括:所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一信息,一个所述第一信息指示一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系;所述第一信息为第一值,指示不支持所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系;所述第一信息为至少一种第二匹配关系,指示支持所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系,其中,一种所述第二匹配关系为第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,或者,一种所述第二匹配关系为第三能力信息标识和第四能力信息标识之间的一种匹配关系。
如果第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,那么相当于第一匹配关系就只是指示了终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息和终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,而终端设备在第一通信系统下还有其他的能力信息,例如还有第三能力信息,同理,终端设备在第二通信系统下也还有其他的能力信息,例如还有第四能力信息,第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间也是需要一定的匹配关系的,如果终端设备不把这些匹配关系通知给网络设备,则网络设备同样可能不知道终端设备的能力如何划分。
鉴于此,本申请实施例中对第一信息可以设置第一值,如果第一信息的取值为第一值,则指示的是不支持对应的匹配关系,也就是不支持与该第一信息对应的一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,另外,第一信息除了可以取第一值之外,还可以包括至少一种第二匹配关系,指示支持对应的匹配关系,也就是支持与该第一信息对应的一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,而且,一种第二匹配关系表示的是一个第三能力信息和一个第四能力信息之间的匹配关系。这样通过第一匹配关系就能将第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系、以及第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系一并发送给网络设备,无需再发送额外的匹配关系,有利于减少设备之间的交互过程,从而减小传输开销。且通过第一匹配关系直接指示,方式较为简单。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第五种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第七种可能的实施方式中,所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系具体包括:所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一信息,一个所述第一信息指示一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系;所述第一信息为第一值,指 示不支持所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系;所述第一信息为第二值,指示支持所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系。
举一个较为简单的例子,例如一个第一信息可通过1个比特来实现,如果这1个比特取值为1,则表示支持对应的匹配关系,如果这1个比特取值为0,则表示不支持对应的匹配关系。这种方式下,可以在保证第一匹配信息能够有效指示第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系的前提下,尽量减少第一匹配关系所包括的信息量,从而减小传输开销。
结合第一方面的第七种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第八种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一种第三匹配关系,其中,每种所述第三匹配关系对应于一种所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系,所述一种所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系对应的所述第一信息为所述第二值,一种所述第三匹配关系包括至少一种第二匹配关系,一种所述第二匹配关系为第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,或者,一种所述第二匹配关系为第三能力信息标识和第四能力信息标识之间的匹配关系。
在前面介绍了,如果第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,那么相当于第一匹配关系就只是指示了终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息和终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,而终端设备在第一通信系统下还有其他的能力信息,例如还有第三能力信息,同理,终端设备在第二通信系统下也还有其他的能力信息,例如还有第四能力信息,第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间也是需要一定的匹配关系的,终端设备也需要发送给网络设备。那么,终端设备可以单独将至少一种第三匹配关系发送给网络设备,每种第三匹配关系对应于一种一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息的匹配关系,一种第三匹配关系包括至少一种第二匹配关系,第二匹配关系就是第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系。也就是说,终端设备可以分别将第一匹配关系和至少一种第三匹配关系发送给网络设备,使得网络设备能够确定终端设备的全部的能力划分情况。而且将不同的匹配关系分开发送,可以避免匹配关系的混淆。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第八种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第九种可能的实施方式中,在所述终端设备向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送所述第一匹配关系之前,还包括:所述终端设备接收来自所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备的能力请求消息,所述能力请求消息用于请求所述终端设备发送所述终端设备的能力信息。
也就是说,网络设备在需要获得终端设备的能力信息时,可以向终端设备发送能力请求消息,终端设备可以在接收来自网络设备的能力请求消息后再将第一匹配关系发送给网络设备,使得第一匹配关系的发送更符合网络设备的需求。当然,终端设备也可以主动将第一匹配关系发送给网络设备,无需网络设备的请求,这样可以减少信令的交互过程。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第九种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第十种可能的实施方式中,所述第一通信系统是E-UTRA系统,所述第二通信系统是NR系统,或,所述第一通信系统是NR系统,所述第二通信系统是E-UTRA系统。

结合第二方面或第二方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第二方面的第五种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第二方面的第七种可能的实施方式中,所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系具体包括:所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一信息,一个所述第一信息指示一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系;所述第一信息为第一值,指示不支持所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系;所述第一信息为第二值,指示支持所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第七种可能的实施方式,在第二方面的第八种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述网络设备接收来自所述终端设备或所述另一网络设备的至少一种第三匹配关系,其中, 每种所述第三匹配关系对应于一种所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系,所述一种所述一个第一能力信息和所述一个第二能力信息的匹配关系对应的所述第一信息为所述第二值,一种所述第三匹配关系包括至少一种第二匹配关系,一种所述第二匹配关系为第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,或者,一种所述第二匹配关系为第三能力信息标识和第四能力信息标识之间的匹配关系。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第二方面的第八种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第二方面的第九种可能的实施方式中,所述网络设备根据所述第一匹配关系确定所述终端设备的能力划分,包括:所述网络设备接收来自所述另一网络设备的通知消息,所述网络设备根据所述通知消息和所述第一匹配关系确定所述终端设备的能力划分。
对于第一网络设备和第二网络设备来说,最终选择第一匹配关系中的哪个匹配关系来调度终端设备,可能由其中的一个网络设备决定,例如由其中的主网络设备决定。那么对于主网络设备来说,在决定之后,除了自己可以确定应该如何调度终端设备之外,还可以向另一网络设备发送通知消息,那么另一网络设备接收通知消息后,也就可以确定如何调度终端设备。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第二方面的第九种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第二方面的第十种可能的实施方式中,在网络设备接收来自终端设备或另一网络设备的第一匹配关系之前,还包括:所述网络设备向所述终端设备发送能力请求消息,所述能力请求消息用于请求所述终端设备发送所述终端设备的能力信息。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第二方面的第十种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第二方面的第十一种可能的实施方式中,所述第一通信系统是E-UTRA系统,所述第二通信系统是NR系统;或,所述第一通信系统是NR系统,所述第二通信系统是E-UTRA系统。

终端设备可以将终端设备的能力信息划分为至少两个部分,在向网络设备发送能力信息时可以分开发送,这样可以减小一条消息中包括的信息量,可以尽量避免出现网络堵塞的情况。另外,以根据参数的取值情况划分参数集合、以及将参数集合划分为第一部分参数和第二部分参数为例,可以看到,第一部分参数是固定参数,也就是说第一能力信息对应的是固定能力,对于一个频带组合来说,就只对应第一部分参数的一个取值集合,例如对于第一通信系统,就是只对应一个第一能力信息,因此,对于参数集合中取值不变的参数,将这些参数的取值发送给网络设备时就只需发送一次,而无需多次发送,减少了重复发送的信息量,节省了开销。而第二部分参数是可变参数,也就是说第二能力信息对应的是可变能力,对于一个频带组合来说,可能会对应第二部分参数的至少一个取值集合,例如对于第一通信系统,就是对应至少一个第二能力信息,因此,对于参数集合中取值可变的参数,可以将这些参数的所有可能的取值都发送给网络设备,从而尽量避免信息的遗漏,使得网络设备能够得到终端设备的完整的能力信息。
结合第三方面,在第三方面的第一种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述网络设备发送能力关系信息,所述能力关系信息指示所述第一能力信息和至少一个所述第二能力信息之间的至少一种匹配关系。
因为第一能力信息和第二能力信息可能是不同的频带组合的能力信息,那么第一能力信息和第二能 力信息之间通过频带组合就会建立联系,具有一定的对应关系,因此终端设备还可以将能力关系信息发送给网络设备,以使得网络设备能够获得第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,避免出错。
结合第三方面或第三方面的第一种可能的实施方式,在第三方面的第二种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息标识,一个所述第二能力信息标识指示一个所述第二能力信息。
也就是说,终端设备向网络设备发送的,可以是第二能力信息的标识而不是第二能力信息本身,第二能力信息的标识也就是第二能力信息标识,网络设备接收第二能力信息标识后,同样能够确定终端设备的第二能力信息。而第二能力信息标识相对于第二能力信息本身来说,信息量一般都比较小,通过这种方式可以有效节省传输开销。
结合第三方面或第三方面的第一种可能的实施方式或第三方面的第二种可能的实施方式,在第三方面的第三种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向所述网络设备发送第一能力信息标识,一个所述第一能力信息标识指示一个所述第一能力信息。
同理,终端设备向网络设备发送的,也可以是第一能力信息的标识而不是第一能力信息本身,第一能力信息的标识也就是第一能力信息标识,网络设备接收第一能力信息标识后,同样能够确定终端设备的第一能力信息。而第一能力信息标识相对于第一能力信息本身来说,信息量一般都比较小,通过这种方式可以有效节省传输开销。
结合第三方面或第三方面的第一种可能的实施方式或第三方面的第二种可能的实施方式或第三方面的第三种可能的实施方式,在第三方面的第四种可能的实施方式中,所述能力关系信息指示所述第一能力信息和至少一个所述第二能力信息之间的至少一种匹配关系具体包括:所述能力关系信息指示所述第一能力信息标识和至少一个所述第二能力信息标识之间的至少一种匹配关系。
如果终端设备向网络设备发送的是第一能力信息标识和第二能力信息标识,那么能力关系信息指示的就可以是第一能力信息标识和至少一个第二能力信息标识之间的至少一种匹配关系,也就是说,根据终端设备发送给网络设备的信息类型的不同,能力信息的指示方式也可以灵活变动。

为了使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例作进一步地详细描述。
以下,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)终端设备,包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如可以包括具有无线连接功能的手 持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的处理设备。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与核心网进行通信,与RAN交换语音和/或数据。该终端设备可以包括用户设备(user equipment,UE)、无线终端设备、移动终端设备、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station),移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point,AP)、远程终端设备(remote terminal)、接入终端设备(access terminal)、用户终端设备(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、或用户装备(user device)等。例如,可以包括移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话),具有移动终端设备的计算机,便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,智能穿戴式设备等。例如,个人通信业务(personal communication service,PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、等设备。还包括受限设备,例如功耗较低的设备,或存储能力有限的设备,或计算能力有限的设备等。例如包括条码、射频识别(radio frequency identification,RFID)、传感器、全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)、激光扫描器等信息传感设备。
作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
2)网络设备,例如包括基站(例如,接入点),可以是指接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个小区与无线终端设备通信的设备。网络设备可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(IP)分组进行相互转换,作为终端设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器,其中接入网的其余部分可包括IP网络。网络设备还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如,网络设备可以包括长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统或演进的LTE系统(LTE-Advanced,LTE-A)中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB,evolutional Node B),或者也可以包括第五代移动通信技术(fifth generation,5G)新无线(new radio,NR)系统中的下一代节点B(next generation node B,gNB)或者也可以包括云接入网(CloudRAN)系统中的集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed ynit,DU),本申请实施例并不限定。

4)终端设备同时连接到E-UTRA基站和NR基站时,如果E-UTRA基站作为主基站,NR基站作为辅基站,该场景具体称为MR-DC中的E-UTRA-NR双连接(E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity,EN-DC);而如果NR基站作为主基站,E-UTRA基站作为辅基站,场景具体称为MR-DC中的NR-E-UTRA双连接(NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity,NE-DC)。在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中,可以将接入网部分称为演进的通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入网(evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network,E-UTRA),即LTE中的移动通信无线网络,E-UTRA某种程度上可以认为是LTE的空口技术。E-UTRA包括了E-UTRA、终端设备和演进的基站(evolved node B,eNodeB)。
5)本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“多个”是指两个或两个以上,鉴于此,本申请实施例中也可以将“多个”理解为“至少两个”。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,字符“/”,如无特殊说明,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
以及,除非有相反的说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如,第一能力信息和第二能力信息,只是为了区分不同的通信系统,也就是说,第一能力信息是终端设备对应于第一通信系统的能力信息,第二能力信息是终端设备对应于第二通信系统的能力信息,而并不是表示这两种能力信息的内容、优先级或者重要程度等的不同。
如上介绍了本申请实施例涉及的一些概念,下面介绍本申请实施例的技术背景,以下结合图1进行详细说明。
图1是目前终端设备向网络设备发送能力信息的示意性流程图,该能力信息可以为UE无线接入能力信息,图1的步骤包括S11和S12,下面对这些步骤进行详细描述。
S11:网络设备向终端设备发送UE能力请求消息,则终端设备接收来自网络设备的UE能力请求消息,UE能力请求消息用于请求终端设备发送终端设备在某一无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)中的无线接入能力。该UE能力请求消息可以包括一种或多种RAT(例如:演进的通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入E-UTRA技术,通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入UTRA技术,新无线(或新空口)技术NR,E-UTRA-NR中的一种或多种RAT)表示请求该种RAT下的终端设备的能力信息。
需要说明的是,对于一个连接态的终端设备,当网络设备需要该终端设备另一些能力信息时,网络设备可以发起UE能力请求过程,来请求需要的能力信息。
S12:终端设备向网络设备发送UE能力消息,则网络设备接收来自终端设备的该UE能力消息。该UE能力消息携带终端设备的能力信息,终端设备的能力信息为终端设备在某一无线接入技术中的无线接入能力。若在UE能力请求消息中包括了某种RAT,则终端设备需要在UE能力消息中包括该种RAT的能力信息,并且将UE能力消息中的RAT类型参数设置成该种RAT。例如:在UE能力请求消息中请求了E-UTRA-NR的UE能力信息,终端设备需要在UE能力消息中包括E-UTRA-NR的能力信息,并且将UE能力消息中的RAT类型参数设置成eutra-nr。
可以看到,目前,终端设备会向网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息,以便网络设备根据终端设备的能力来调度终端设备。另外,终端设备在不同的通信系统下可能对应不同的能力,例如终端设备接入LTE系统下的网络设备,则终端设备会将该终端设备在E-UTRA系统下的能力信息发送给LTE系统下的网络设备,或者,终端设备接入NR系统下的网络设备,则终端设备会将该终端设备在NR系统下的能力信息发送给NR系统下的网络设备,整个过程均可参考图1所示的过程。
其中,终端设备的能力根据终端设备工作的频带(band)的不同可能会有所不同,而终端设备处于不同的通信系统中时,所支持的频带也可能有所区别。在本文中为方便描述,直接应用频带组合的概念,一个频带组合包括至少一个频带,这至少一个频带包括某一频点到另一频带的一段带宽,例如E-UTRA上行频带9代表880MHz–915MHz,E-UTRA下行频带9代表925MHz–960MHz。当然在一个通信系统中,终端设备支持的不同的频带组合所包括的频带可能会有重叠部分。例如在NR系统下,认为终端设备可支持一个或多个频带组合,其中的每个频带组合包括至少一个频带。举例来说,在NR系统下,终端设备支持频带A和频带B,其中频带A和频带B又可以同时支持,那么可以认为该终端设备支持3个频带组合,这3个频带组合中的第一个频带组合包括频带A、第二个频带组合包括频带B、第三个频带组合包括频带A和B,而在每个频带组合下,又可以对应不同的能力,例如第一个频带组合对应的能力包括能力1,第二 个频带组合对应的能力包括能力2和能力3,第三个频带组合对应的能力包括能力1、能力2和能力3。对于E-UTRA系统也是同样的理解。则终端设备向网络设备发送的能力信息,就包括终端设备在终端设备所支持的每个频带组合下的能力信息,也就是包括终端设备在终端设备所支持的每个频带组合下的每种能力的信息。
随着5G技术的发展,在运营商的部署中,可以配置工作在E-UTRA系统中的网络设备和工作在NR系统中的网络设备一起与终端设备进行通信,也就是,终端设备可以同时连接到工作在E-UTRA系统中的网络设备(以下简称为E-UTRA网络设备)和工作在NR系统中的网络设备(以下简称为NR网络设备),这样就可以既利用E-UTRA系统的频率传输数据,也利用NR系统的频率传输数据,从而提高终端设备的吞吐量,这种场景可称为MR-DC场景。
在MR-DC场景下,主网络设备和辅网络设备会一起与终端设备进行通信合作。从进行通信的硬件角度来说,这就要求终端设备中进行通信的硬件的一部分与主网络设备进行通信,另一部分与辅网络设备进行通信。一般来说,终端设备的硬件能力是确定的,或者说,终端设备的能力是确定的,终端设备与一个网络设备进行通信时如果占用的硬件资源较多,那么与另外一个网络设备进行通信时占用的硬件资源就会少。
根据前文的介绍可知,终端设备在只连接一个网络设备的情况下,可以向该网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息,那么可以确定,在MR-DC场景下,终端设备也可以向网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息。但是在MR-DC场景下,终端设备只是会向网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息,而网络设备侧并不知道如何在主网络设备和辅网络设备之间分配终端设备的能力。以MR-DC场景下终端设备连接到NR系统下的网络设备和E-UTRA系统下的网络设备为例,终端设备在NR系统下例如支持3个频带组合,其中的每个频带组合可对应至少一种能力,例如这3个频带组合共对应5种能力,在E-UTRA系统下例如支持2个频带组合,其中的每个频带组合可对应至少一种能力,例如这2个频带组合共对应2种能力,那么对于终端设备连接的两个网络设备来说,只能应用相应的一种能力,例如NR系统下的网络设备可以利用终端设备在NR系统下的某个频带组合的一种能力,E-UTRA系统下的网络设备可以利用终端设备在E-UTRA系统下的某个频带组合的一种能力。但问题是,并不是E-UTRA系统下的每种能力和NR系统下的任意一种能力都是可以匹配的,这里的匹配,是说终端设备可以同时支持,例如终端设备在E-UTRA系统下频带组合1的能力1,可能只能与终端设备在NR系统下的频带组合2的能力2匹配,终端设备可以同时支持LTE系统下的频带组合1的能力1和NR系统下的频带组合2的能力2,但终端设备在LTE系统下频带组合1的能力1,却不能与终端设备在NR系统下频带组合2的能力3匹配,也就是说终端设备不能同时支持E-UTRA系统下的频带组合1的能力1和NR系统下的频带组合2的能力3。
那么,终端设备只向网络设备统一发送终端设备在两个通信系统下的能力信息,继续参考上一段的示例,终端设备在NR系统下例如支持3个频带组合,这3个频带组合共对应5种能力,在E-UTRA系统下例如支持2个频带组合,这2个频带组合共对应2种能力,那么终端设备可能只是统一将这7个能力的信息发送给网络设备,网络设备接收这些能力信息后并不知道应该如何选择,可能导致网络设备和终端设备无法正常工作。
或者,本申请实施例提出一种假设,例如在EN-DC场景下,终端设备需要上报该EN-DC场景下所有支持的E-UTRA和NR的频带组合方式,由于E-UTRA的各个频带组合与NR的各个频带组合之间还存在多种可能的频带组合,因此导致该EN-DC场景下所有支持的E-UTRA和NR的频带组合的可能性会非常多,终端设备会将这些组合一一上报给网络设备,导致终端设备在上报终端设备的能力信息时,需要上报的内容量太大。并且,E-UTRA和NR的频带组合的多种可能的组合中,某些E-UTRA的频带组合或者某些NR的频带组合会重复上报,例如一个E-UTRA的频带组合既能与NR的频带组合1组合, 也能与NR的频带组合2组合,那么终端设备会上报这两种组合方式,这就造成了E-UTRA的频带组合的信息重复上报,这也进一步导致了终端设备在上报终端设备的能力信息时内容量太大的问题,从而造成了多余的开销。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,以尽量保证网络设备和终端设备在MR-DC的场景下实现正常工作,并且,本申请实施例还致力于考虑减小开销。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可应用于MR-DC场景中,或者也可以用于其他的场景,例如,只要是终端设备与至少两个网络设备连接,无论这至少两个网络设备工作在什么通信系统下,均可适用本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
请参见图2,为本申请实施例的一种应用场景。在图2中包括两个网络设备以及一个终端设备,这两个网络设备分别为第一网络设备和第二网络设备,第一网络设备可能是终端设备的主网络设备,第二网络设备是终端设备的辅网络设备,或者,第一网络设备是终端设备的辅网络设备,第二网络设备是终端设备的主网络设备,这两个网络设备例如均为基站,那么主网络设备也就是主基站,辅网络设备也就是辅基站。其中,第一网络设备例如工作在E-UTRA系统中,第二网络设备例如工作在NR系统中,也就是,第一网络设备例如为E-UTRA网络设备,第二网络设备例如为NR网络设备,或者,第一网络设备例如工作在NR系统中,第二网络设备例如工作在E-UTRA系统中,也就是,第一网络设备例如为NR网络设备,第二网络设备例如为E-UTRA网络设备。其中,终端设备同时连接到这两个网络设备,终端设备与这两个网络设备均可以通信。
下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
在本申请实施例中,第一通信系统可以是指E-UTRA系统,第二通信系统可以是指NR系统,或者,第一通信系统可以是指NR系统,第二通信系统可以是指E-UTRA系统,在下文的介绍过程中,主要以E-UTRA和NR系统这两个通信系统为例。或者,第一通信系统和/或第二通信系统还可能是未来即将出现的通信系统,具体的不作限制。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,请参见图3,为该方法的流程图。在下文的介绍过程中,以本申请实施例提供的方法应用于图2所示的应用场景为例。
S31、终端设备确定第一匹配关系,所述第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,其中,所述至少一个第一能力信息包括所述终端设备在第一通信系统的能力信息,所述至少一个第二能力信息包括所述终端设备在第二通信系统的能力信息;
S32、所述终端设备向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送所述第一匹配关系,则第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备接收来自所述终端设备的所述第一匹配关系,其中,所述终端设备同时连接到所述第一网络设备和所述第二网络设备,所述第一网络设备工作在所述第一通信系统下,所述第二网络设备工作在所述第二通信系统下;另外,图3是以终端设备向第一网络设备和第二网络设备均发送第一匹配关系为例;
S32、第一网络设备和第二网络设备根据第一匹配关系确定所述终端设备的能力划分。
在本实施例中,终端设备可以主动向网络设备发送终端设备的能力划分情况,也就是主动发送第一匹配关系信息,或者,第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备可以向终端设备发送能力请求消息,该能力请求消息用于请求终端设备发送终端设备的能力信息,那么终端设备就可以向网络设备发送第一匹配关系。
终端设备的能力,可以理解为是终端设备在相应的频带组合下的能力。终端设备在一个频带组合下的能力,通过该频带组合对应的多个参数来体现,如前文所述能力信息包括的参数。用于表示一个频带组合的能力的参数,可以理解为包括在一个参数集合中,也就是说,一个频带组合的能力,可通过该参 数集合所包括的参数来体现,该参数集合中包括至少一个参数。当然这里提出参数集合的概念只是便于理解,该参数集合并不一定存在,也就是说,用于表示一个频带组合的能力的参数并不一定是设置在一个参数集合中。
根据前文的介绍可知,一个第一能力信息包括终端设备在第一通信系统下的能力信息,具体来讲,一个第一能力信息所包括的,可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息,或者是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,也就是一部分能力信息。另外前文还介绍了,一个第一能力信息可以具体理解为包括终端设备在第一通信系统下的一个频带组合的能力,那么相应的,一个第一能力信息所包括的,可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的一个频带组合的全部能力信息,或者是终端设备在第一通信系统下的一个频带组合的第一部分能力信息,也就是一部分能力信息。也就是说,这里的一个第一能力信息所包括的全部能力信息或第一部分能力信息,实际上是有条件的,并不是指终端设备在第一通信系统下,在任意情况下的全部能力信息或第一部分能力信息,而是说,是指终端设备在第一通信系统下的一个频带组合的全部能力信息或第一部分能力信息,而该频带组合,是与该第一能力信息对应的匹配关系所对应的第一通信系统下的频带组合。对于一个第二能力信息的含义来说也是同样理解,不多赘述。
作为一种实施方式,第一能力信息包括终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息,那么可以理解为,一个第一能力信息,就是终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的一个频带组合所对应的参数集合的一种取值。例如终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的一个频带组合,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合所包括的参数的取值不同时,就会得到不同的第一能力信息,也可以理解为,一个第一能力信息,就表示终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的一个频带组合对应的一种能力。例如第一通信系统为NR系统,终端设备在NR系统下支持的一个频带组合为频带组合1,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合中包括参数A、参数B和参数C,在参数A取值为A1、参数B取值为B1和参数C取值为C1时,A1、B1和C1就构成频带组合1的一个第一能力信息,在参数A取值为A2、参数B取值为B1和参数C取值为C1时,A2、B1和C1又构成频带组合1的另一个第一能力信息,以此类推,频带组合1的每个第一能力信息都包括的是频带组合1的全部能力信息。当然,究竟其中的每个参数可以如何取值,是由终端设备决定的,根据终端设备的能力而定。
作为另一种实施方式,一个第一能力信息包括终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息。其中,可以将第一通信系统下终端设备支持的一个频带组合所对应的参数集合包括的参数分成至少两个部分,其中的每个部分都可以包括至少一个参数。其中的一个部分就称为第一部分参数,第一部分参数所体现的就是第一能力信息,那么可以理解为,一个第一能力信息,就是一个频带组合所对应的参数集合中的第一部分参数的一种取值。例如终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的一个频带组合,其对应一个参数集合,又将该参数集合分为至少两个部分,其中的至少一个参数属于划分得到的第一部分参数,那么,第一部分参数所包括的参数的取值不同时,就会得到不同的第一能力信息。例如第一通信系统为NR系统,终端设备在NR系统下支持的一个频带组合为频带组合1,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合中包括参数A、参数B和参数C,将该参数集合划分为了至少两个部分,以划分为两个部分为例,其中的参数A和参数C属于第一部分参数,其中的参数B属于第二部分参数,那么,在参数A取值为A1和参数C取值为C1时,A1和C1就构成频带组合1的一个第一能力信息,在参数A取值为A2和参数C取值为C1时,A2和C1又构成频带组合1的另一个第一能力信息,以此类推,对于第二部分参数也是同样,参数B的不同取值可构成不同的能力信息,将第二部分参数所表示的能力信息称为第三能力信息,也就是说,参数B的不同取值可构成不同的第三能力信息。频带组合1的每个第一能力信息都包括的是频带组合1的第一部分能力信息,所谓第一部分能力信息,就是通过第一部分参数所体现的能力信息。频带组合1的每个第三能力信息都包括的是频带组合1的第二部分能力信息,所谓第二部分能力信息,就是通过第二部分参数所体现的能 力信息。当然,一个参数集合中的至少两个部分中的每个参数可以如何取值,是由终端设备决定的,根据终端设备的能力而定。
上文所介绍的将一个参数集合划分为至少两个部分,至少两个部分,其具体的数量可以是协议设定好的,或者也可以由网络设备或终端设备事先规定。且划分方式也可以有多种,例如可以随机划分,或者,可以按照参数的重要性来划分,例如将较为重要的参数划分为一个部分,或者,可以按照参数的取值是否会发生变化的情况来划分,下面重点介绍一下按照参数的取值是否会发生变化的情况来划分的方式。
例如,有一些参数的取值是不会变的,也就是说,一个频带组合对应的参数集合包括的参数中,有些参数的取值可能是固定的,而还有一些参数的取值可能会变化,例如载波聚合频带级别(ca-BandwidthClass),可以是a,b,c……等不同的级别。那么根据参数的取值情况,可以将参数集合包括的参数划分为第一部分参数和第二部分参数,第一部分参数包括的就是取值不会变化的参数,因此第一部分参数也可以称为固定参数,第一部分参数所表示的能力也可以称为固定能力,第二部分参数包括的是取值会变化的参数,因此第二部分参数也可以称为可变参数,第二部分参数所表示的能力也可以称为可变能力。通过参数的取值情况来划分,使得对参数的管理更为有效。
例如第一通信系统为NR系统,终端设备在NR系统下支持的一个频带组合为频带组合1,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合中包括参数A、参数B和参数C,将该参数集合划分为了至少两个部分,且是按照参数的取值是否可变来划分的,其中的参数A和参数C是取值不会变化的参数,将其划分为第一部分参数,而其中的参数B是取值会变化的参数,将其划分为第二部分参数。而参数A和参数C的取值是不会变的,例如参数A的取值为A1,参数C的取值为C1,那么A1和C1就构成频带组合1的第一能力信息,且频带组合1也就只对应这一个第一能力信息。而参数B的取值可能会变化,那么参数B的每个可能的取值都可以构成一个第三能力信息,也就是说,一个第三能力信息,就是一个频带组合所对应的参数集合中的第二部分参数的一种取值,对于这里的频带组合1来说,就可能对应一个或多个第三能力信息。
如上两种实施方式可以简单理解为,第一能力信息包括的是终端设备在第一通信系统的一个频带组合下的全部能力信息或部分能力信息。对于第二能力信息来说也是同理,下面简单介绍。
作为一种实施方式,第二能力信息包括终端设备在第二通信系统下的全部能力信息,那么可以理解为,一个第二能力信息,就是终端设备在第二通信系统下支持的一个频带组合所对应的参数集合的一种取值。例如终端设备在第二通信系统下支持的一个频带组合,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合所包括的参数的取值不同时,就会得到不同的第二能力信息,也可以理解为,一个第二能力信息,就表示终端设备在第二通信系统下支持的一个频带组合对应的一种能力。例如终端设备在第二通信系统下支持的一个频带组合,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合所包括的参数的取值不同时,就会得到不同的第二能力信息。例如第二通信系统为E-UTRA系统,终端设备在E-UTRA系统下支持的一个频带组合为频带组合2,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合中包括参数D、参数E和参数F,在参数D取值为D1、参数E取值为E1和参数F取值为F1时,D1、E1和F1就构成频带组合2的一个第二能力信息,在参数D取值为D2、参数E取值为E1和参数F取值为F1时,D2、E1和F1又构成频带组合2的另一个第二能力信息,以此类推,频带组合2的每个第二能力信息都包括的是频带组合2的全部能力信息。当然,究竟其中的每个参数可以如何取值,是由终端设备决定的,根据终端设备的能力而定。
作为另一种实施方式,一个第二能力信息包括终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息。其中,可以将第二通信系统下终端设备支持的一个频带组合所对应的参数集合包括的参数分成至少两个部分,其中的每个部分都可以包括至少一个参数。其中的一个部分就称为第一部分参数,第一部分参数所体现的就是第二能力信息,那么可以理解为,一个第二能力信息,就是一个频带组合所对应的参数集合 中的第一部分参数的一种取值。例如终端设备在第二通信系统下支持的一个频带组合,其对应一个参数集合,又将该参数集合分为至少两个部分,其中的至少一个参数属于划分得到的第一部分参数,那么,第一部分参数所包括的参数的取值不同时,就会得到不同的第二能力信息。例如第二通信系统为E-UTRA系统,终端设备在E-UTRA系统下支持的一个频带组合为频带组合2,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合中包括参数D、参数E和参数F,将该参数集合划分为了至少两个部分,以划分为两个部分为例,其中的参数D和参数F属于第一部分参数,其中的参数E属于第二部分参数,那么,在参数D取值为D1和参数F取值为F1时,D1和F1就构成频带组合2的一个第二能力信息,在参数D取值为D2和参数F取值为F1时,D2和F1又构成频带组合2的另一个第二能力信息,以此类推,对于第二部分参数也是同样,参数E的不同取值可构成不同的能力信息,将第二部分参数所表示的能力信息称为第四能力信息,也就是说,参数E的不同取值可构成不同的第四能力信息。频带组合2的每个第二能力信息都包括的是频带组合2的第一部分能力信息,所谓第一部分能力信息,就是通过第一部分参数所体现的能力信息。频带组合2的每个第四能力信息都包括的是频带组合2的第二部分能力信息,所谓第二部分能力信息,就是通过第二部分参数所体现的能力信息。当然,一个参数集合中的至少两个部分中的每个参数可以如何取值,是由终端设备决定的,根据终端设备的能力而定。
上文所介绍的将一个参数集合划分为至少两个部分,至少两个部分,其具体的数量可以是协议设定好的,或者也可以由网络设备或终端设备事先规定。且划分方式也可以有多种,例如可以随机划分,或者,可以按照参数的取值情况来划分。例如,有一些参数的取值是不会变的,也就是说,一个频带组合对应的参数中,有些参数的取值可能是固定的,而还有一些参数的取值可能会变化。那么根据参数的取值情况,可以将参数集合包括的参数划分为第一部分参数和第二部分参数,第一部分参数包括的就是取值不会变化的参数,因此第一部分参数也可以称为固定参数,第一部分参数所表示的能力也可以称为固定能力,第二部分参数包括的是取值会变化的参数,因此第二部分参数也可以称为可变参数,第二部分参数所表示的能力也可以称为可变能力。
例如第二通信系统为E-UTRA系统,终端设备在E-UTRA系统下支持的一个频带组合为频带组合2,其对应一个参数集合,该参数集合中包括参数D、参数E和参数F,将该参数集合划分为了至少两个部分,且是按照参数的取值是否可变来划分的,其中的参数D和参数F是取值不会变化的参数,将其划分为第一部分参数,而其中的参数E是取值会变化的参数,将其划分为第二部分参数。而参数D和参数F的取值是不会变的,例如参数D的取值为D1,参数F的取值为F1,那么D1和F1就构成频带组合2的第二能力信息,且频带组合2也就只对应这一个第二能力信息。而参数E的取值可能会变化,那么参数E的每个可能的取值都可以构成一个第四能力信息,也就是说,一个第四能力信息,就是一个频带组合所对应的参数集合中的第二部分参数的一种取值,对于这里的频带组合2来说,就可能对应一个或多个第四能力信息。
根据上文介绍可知,第一能力信息包括的是终端设备在第一通信系统的一个频带组合下的全部能力信息或部分能力信息,第二能力信息包括的是终端设备在第二通信系统的一个频带组合下的全部能力信息或部分能力信息,那么对于第一匹配关系来说,第一能力信息和第二能力信息可以有不同的组合方式。例如,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第二通信系统下的全部能力信息;或者,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息;或者,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信 息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息;或者,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第二通信系统下的全部能力信息。
根据前文的介绍可以看到,终端设备在第一通信系统下可能支持至少一个频带组合,每个频带组合可能对应一个第一能力信息或多个第一能力信息,同理,终端设备在第二通信系统下也可能支持至少一个频带组合,每个频带组合可能对应一个第二能力信息或多个第二能力信息,对于第一网络设备来说,只会选择应用其中的一个第一能力信息,对于第二网络设备来说,只会选择应用其中的一个第二能力信息。由于终端设备同时连接第一网络设备和第二网络设备,因此终端设备需要同时支持第一网络设备应用的第一能力信息和第二网络设备应用的第二能力信息。而,终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的频带组合会对应至少一个第一能力信息,终端设备在第二通信系统下支持的频带组合会对应至少一个第二能力信息,但并不是其中的任意一个第一能力信息和任意一个第二能力信息的组合,终端设备都能够同时支持,例如,终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的频带组合对应的第一能力信息中包括第一能力信息A和第一能力信息B,终端设备在第二通信系统下支持的频带组合对应的第二能力信息中包括第二能力信息C和第二能力信息D,其中的第一能力信息A和第二能力信息C,终端设备就是不能同时支持的,也就是说,如果第一网络设备选择了第一能力信息A,第二网络设备选择了第二能力信息C,则终端设备就无法支持,这样网络设备也无法正常调度终端设备。
鉴于此,在本实施例中,终端设备可以确定第一匹配关系,第一匹配关系包括至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,可以理解为,第一匹配关系中包括多种匹配关系(或者说,第一匹配关系具体包括多个子匹配关系),其中的每种匹配关系就用于指示一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,通过第一匹配关系就可以指示,究竟第一能力信息和第二能力信息应该如何分配,也就是说,通过第一匹配关系,第一网络设备就可以确定应选用哪个第一能力信息,第二网络设备也可以确定选用哪个第二能力信息。另外,一个第一能力信息对应终端设备在第一通信系统下的一个频带组合,一个第二能力信息对应终端设备在第二通信系统下的一个频带组合,也就是说,一个第一能力信息就包括终端设备在第一通信系统下的一个频带组合的能力信息,一个第二能力信息也就包括终端设备在第二通信系统下的一个频带组合的能力信息,因此,第一匹配关系中所包括的每种匹配关系,实际上就表示的是,终端设备在第一通信系统下的一个频带组合的能力信息和终端设备在第二通信系统下的一个频带组合的能力信息之间的匹配关系。
在上一段中介绍了,通过第一匹配关系就可以指示,究竟第一能力信息和第二能力信息应该如何分配,那么下面就介绍第一匹配关系如何来指示终端设备的能力划分情况。关于第一匹配关系指示终端设备的能力划分情况的方式,可以包括多种,下面先介绍第一种,后续再引出其他方式。
1、第一种方式。
在第一种方式下,第一匹配关系中可包括至少一个第一信息,其中的一个第一信息就指示一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系。或者根据前文可知,第一匹配关系包括多种匹配关系,那么第一匹配关系中包括的第一信息的数量就和第一匹配关系所包括的匹配关系的数量相同,其中的一个第一信息就用于指示一种匹配关系,第一信息和第一匹配关系包括的匹配关系是一一对应的关系。例如第一信息可以有至少两种取值,如果第一信息的取值为第一值,则指示的是不支持对应的匹配关系,也就是不支持与该第一信息对应的一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,而如果第一信息的取值为第二值,则指示的是支持对应的匹配关系,也就是支持与该第一信息对应的一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系。
举一个较为简单的例子,例如一个第一信息可通过1个比特(bit)来实现,如果这1个比特取值为1,则表示支持对应的匹配关系,如果这1个比特取值为0,则表示不支持对应的匹配关系。这种方式下,可以在保证第一匹配信息能够有效指示第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系的前提下,尽量减少第一匹配关系所包括的信息量,从而减小传输开销。以第一通信系统是E-UTRA系统、第二通信系统是NR系统,终端设备在E-UTRA系统下支持的频带组合所对应的所有的第一能力信息包括第一能力信息1、第一能力信息2和第一能力信息3,终端设备在NR系统下支持的频带组合所对应的所有的第二能力信息包括第一能力信息4、第二能力信息5和第二能力信息6,为例,一种第一匹配关系可参考表1:
表1
表1中的1就表示第一能力信息1,2表示第一能力信息2,3表示第一能力信息3,4表示第二能力信息4,5表示第二能力信息5,6表示第二能力信息6,其中,第一匹配关系所包括的这些第一能力信息和第二能力信息,可以直接是第一能力信息和第二能力信息,或者,可以是相应的第一能力信息的标识(或者称为第一能力信息标识)和第二能力信息的标识(或者称为第二能力信息标识),能力信息的标识例如为能力信息的身份标识号(ID),例如第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以预先存储第一能力信息与第一能力信息标识的对应关系、以及存储第二能力信息与第二能力信息标识的对应关系,则第一匹配关系中只需包括第一能力信息标识和第二能力信息标识即可。表1中的√和×都表示第一信息,例如√表示第一信息取第二值,×表示第一信息取第一值,或者,其中的√和×也可以换成1和0,表意不变。表1所示的这种第一匹配关系,就指示了终端设备在E-UTRA系统下的第一能力信息和NR系统下的第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,也指示了哪些匹配关系是终端设备能够支持的,哪些匹配关系是终端设备不支持的,从而第一网络设备和第二网络设备都可以根据第一匹配关系确定哪些匹配关系是可以选用的。
除了如上的示例之外,更为简单的,第一匹配关系还可以有另一种表现形式。继续以第一通信系统是E-UTRA系统、第二通信系统是NR系统,终端设备在E-UTRA系统下支持的频带组合所对应的所有的第一能力信息包括第一能力信息1、第一能力信息2和第一能力信息3,终端设备在NR系统下支持的频带组合所对应的所有的第二能力信息包括第一能力信息4、第二能力信息5和第二能力信息6,为例,另一种第一匹配关系可参考表2:
表2
√ | √ | × |
√ | √ | √ |
√ | × | √ |
可以看到,表2所示的第一匹配关系,不再包括第一能力信息和第二能力信息的内容,而只是包括了第一信息。
如果采用这种方式,那么可以事先规定第一匹配关系中的每个第一信息分别指示的是哪个第一能力信息和哪个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系。例如可以规定终端设备在第一通信系统下的所有第一能力信息的固定顺序,具有固定顺序的所有的第一能力信息以第一序列表示,以及规定终端设备在第二通信系 统下的所有第二能力信息的固定顺序,具有固定顺序的所有的第二能力信息以第二序列表示,例如第一匹配关系包括的第一个第一信息,就用于指示第一序列中的第一个第一能力信息和第二序列中的第一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,第一匹配关系包括的第二个第一信息,就用于指示第一个序列中的第一个第一能力信息和第二序列中的第二个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,以此类推。
或者,也可以不必事先规定第一序列和第二序列,因为终端设备还会向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息,以及会向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息,那么,第一序列可以根据终端设备的发送顺序确定,例如第一序列包括的第一能力信息的排列顺序与终端设备发送第一能力信息的顺序一致,终端设备先发送的第一能力信息就排在第一序列的前面,而第二序列包括的第二能力信息的顺序也是同样,那么根据终端设备的发送顺序就可以得到第一序列和第二序列,同样的,例如第一匹配关系包括的第一个第一信息,就用于指示第一序列中的第一个第一能力信息和第二序列中的第一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,第一匹配关系包括的第二个第一信息,就用于指示第一个序列中的第一个第一能力信息和第二序列中的第二个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,以此类推。另外关于终端设备发送至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息的内容,在后文还将有所介绍,因此在此不详细描述。
终端设备向网络设备发送这样的第一匹配关系,显然可以进一步节省传输开销。
在第一种方式下,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第二通信系统下的全部能力信息;或者,在第一种方式下,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息。那么,如果第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,那么相当于第一匹配关系就只是指示了终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息和终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,而终端设备在第一通信系统下还有其他的能力信息,例如还有第三能力信息,同理,终端设备在第二通信系统下也还有其他的能力信息,例如还有第四能力信息,第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间也是需要一定的匹配关系的,如果终端设备不把这些匹配关系通知给网络设备,则网络设备同样可能不知道终端设备的能力如何划分。
因此,如果第一种方式下的第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,那么,终端设备除了向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送第一匹配关系之外,还可以向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一种第三匹配关系,其中,终端设备发送第一匹配关系的网络设备,和终端设备发送至少一种第三匹配关系的网络设备,可以是同样的网络设备,例如终端设备将第一匹配关系和至少一种第三匹配关系都发给第一网络设备和第二网络设备,或者都发送给第一网络设备,或者,终端设备发送第一匹配关系的网络设备,和终端设备发送至少一种第三匹配关系的网络设备,也可以是不同的网络设备,例如终端设备将第一匹配关系发给第一网络设备和第二网络设备,而将至少一种第三匹配关系发送给第一网络设备或第二网络设备,或者终端设备将第一匹配关系发送给第一网络设备,将第三匹配关系发送给第二网络设备,具体的本实施例不作限制。其中,如果只有一个网络设备接收了第一匹配关系,则该网络设备可将第一匹配关系发送给另一网络设备,同样的,如果只 有一个网络设备接收了至少一种第三匹配关系,则该网络设备可将至少一种第三匹配关系发送给另一网络设备。
其中,一种第三匹配关系就对应第一匹配关系中的一种匹配关系,也就是说,一种第三匹配关系就对应于一种一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息的匹配关系。而且,第三匹配关系所对应的第一匹配关系中的匹配关系,是所对应的第一信息的取值为第二值的匹配关系,也就是说,与每种第三匹配关系对应的一种一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息的匹配关系,对应的第一信息的取值都是第二值,那么可以认为,第三匹配关系的数量与第一匹配关系中包括的取值为第二值的第一信息的数量相同。而且,一种第三匹配关系又可以包括至少一种第二匹配关系,其中的一种第二匹配关系是第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,例如,一种第二匹配关系是一个第三能力信息和一个第四能力信息之间的匹配关系。
也就是说,如果第一匹配关系指示的某种匹配关系对应的第一信息的取值为第二值,表明终端设备能够支持这种匹配关系,那么网络设备很可能就会选择应用这种匹配关系。而第一匹配关系只是指示了终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息和终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,因此,终端设备还需要将第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系通知给网络设备,也就是将终端设备在第一通信系统下的第二部分能力信息和终端设备在第二通信系统下的第二部分能力信息之间的匹配关系通知给网络设备,这样网络设备才能最终确定终端设备的能力如何划分。
例如,第一通信系统为E-UTRA系统,第二通信系统为NR系统,终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的频带组合包括频带组合1和频带组合2,在第二通信系统下支持的频带组合包括频带组合3,例如是按照参数的取值是否可变的情况将频带组合对应的参数集合划分为了第一部分参数和第二部分参数,那么,一个频带组合对应的第一能力信息或第二能力信息的数量为1,而一个频带组合对应的第三能力信息或第四能力信息的数量大于或等于1。例如,频带组合1对应的第一能力信息包括第一能力信息1,频带组合1对应的第三能力信息包括第三能力信息1和第三能力信息2,频带组合2对应的第一能力信息包括第一能力信息2,频带组合2对应的第三能力信息包括第三能力信息3,频带组合3对应的第二能力信息包括第二能力信息1,频带组合3对应的第四能力信息包括第四能力信息1和第四能力信息2,其中的第一能力信息1、第一能力信息2和第二能力信息1都包括的是相应的第一部分能力信息,第三能力信息1、第三能力信息2、第三能力信息3、第四能力信息1和第四能力信息2都包括的是相应的第二部分能力信息。那么,第一匹配关系指示的就是第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,例如第一匹配信息包括2种匹配关系,分别为第一能力信息1和第二能力信息1之间的匹配关系,以及第一能力信息2和第二能力信息1之间的匹配关系,且第一匹配信息包括2个第一信息,其中的第一个第一信息指示支持第一能力信息1和第二能力信息1之间的匹配关系,其中的第二个第一信息指示不支持第一能力信息2和第二能力信息1之间的匹配关系,第一匹配关系例如参考表3:
表3
除了第一匹配关系之外,终端设备还要向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一种第三匹配关系,其中,第三匹配关系所对应第一匹配关系中的匹配关系,需要是第一信息的取值为第二值的匹配关系,也就是说,第三匹配关系的数量为1,第三匹配关系是与第一能力信息1和第二能力信息1之间的匹配关系相对应的,第三匹配关系包括频带组合1的第三能力信息和频带组合3的第四 能力信息之间的匹配关系。其中,第三匹配关系包括至少一种第二匹配关系,其中的每种第二匹配关系为一个第三能力信息和一个第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,例如第三匹配关系共包括3种第二匹配关系,其中的第一种第二匹配关系为第三能力信息1和第四能力信息1之间的匹配关系,其中的第二种第二匹配关系为第三能力信息2和第四能力信息1之间的匹配关系,其中的第三种第二匹配关系为第三能力信息1和第四能力信息2之间的匹配关系。第三匹配关系例如参考表4,表4中的一行就表示一种第二匹配关系:
表4
第三能力信息1,第四能力信息1 |
第三能力信息2,第四能力信息1 |
第三能力信息1,第四能力信息2 |
其中,第三匹配关系包括的可以是具体的第三能力信息和第四能力信息,例如表4所示的第三匹配关系,就包括的是具体的第三能力信息1、第三能力信息2、第三能力信息3、第四能力信息1和第四能力信息2,这样指示的更为直接;或者,第三匹配关系包括的也可以只是第三能力信息的标识和第四能力信息的标识,将第三能力信息的标识称为第三能力信息标识,例如为第三能力信息的ID,以及,将第四能力信息的标识称为第四能力信息标识,例如为第四能力信息的ID,这样的第三匹配关系的信息量能够有效减小,有助于进一步减小传输开销。
那么,第一网络设备获得第一匹配关系和至少一种第三匹配关系后,就能够较为准确地确定终端设备的能力划分,同理,第二网络设备获得第一匹配关系和至少一种第三匹配关系后,也能够较为准确地确定终端设备的能力划分。
在第一种方式下,如果第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,那么本实施例还提供了至少一种第三匹配关系,以用于表示第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系。那么,第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,除了通过如第一种方式中所示的方式发送给网络设备之外,还可以通过其他形式告知网络设备。下面介绍第一匹配关系指示终端设备的能力划分情况的第二种方式,在这种方式下就会介绍如何将第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系通过另外的形式告知网络设备。
2、第二种方式。
在第二种方式下,第一匹配关系中还是可以包括至少一个第一信息,其中的一个第一信息就指示一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系。与第一种方式同理,第一匹配关系包括多种匹配关系,那么第一匹配关系中包括的第一信息的数量就和第一匹配关系所包括的匹配关系的数量相同,其中的一个第一信息就用于指示一种匹配关系,第一信息和第一匹配关系包括的匹配关系是一一对应的关系。
在第一种方式下,第一信息可以通过第一值和第二值来指示支持或不支持相应的匹配关系,而在第二种方式下,第一信息依然可以设置第一值,但可以不设置第二值,例如,如果第一信息的取值为第一值,则指示的是不支持对应的匹配关系,也就是不支持与该第一信息对应的一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,另外,第一信息除了可以取第一值之外,还可以包括至少一种第二匹配关系,指示的是支持对应的匹配关系,也就是支持与该第一信息对应的一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系。对此,可以将第一信息理解为,要么包括第一值,要么包括至少一种第二匹配关系,或者说,这里的至少一种第二匹配关系也可以在某种意义上视为第二值。其中的一种第二匹配关系是第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,例如,一种第二匹配关系是一个第三能力信息和一个 第四能力信息之间的匹配关系。关于对至少一种第二匹配关系的解释,可参考前文第一种方式中对至少一种第二匹配关系的介绍。
继续以前文的第一种方式中对表3和表4的举例条件为例,如果将该举例条件应用到第二种方式中,那么,第一匹配关系可参考表5:
表5
表5所示的第一匹配关系中,除了包括第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系外,还包括3种第二匹配关系,其中的第一种第二匹配关系为第三能力信息1和第四能力信息1之间的匹配关系,其中的第二种第二匹配关系为第三能力信息2和第四能力信息1之间的匹配关系,其中的第三种第二匹配关系为第三能力信息1和第四能力信息2之间的匹配关系。
可以看到,在这种第一匹配关系中,将第一种方式下取值为第二值的第一信息改为包括至少一种第二匹配关系,这样通过第一匹配关系就能将第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系、以及第三能力信息和第四能力信息之间的匹配关系一并发送给网络设备,无需再发送额外的匹配关系,有利于减少设备之间的交互过程,从而减小传输开销。且通过第一匹配关系直接指示,方式较为简单。
其中,第二匹配关系包括的可以是具体的第三能力信息和第四能力信息,例如表5所示的第二匹配关系,就包括的是具体的第三能力信息1、第三能力信息2、第三能力信息3、第四能力信息1和第四能力信息2,这样指示的更为直接;或者,第二匹配关系包括的也可以只是第三能力信息的标识和第四能力信息的标识,将第三能力信息的标识称为第三能力信息标识,例如为第三能力信息的ID,以及,将第四能力信息的标识称为第四能力信息标识,例如为第四能力信息的ID,这样的第二匹配关系的信息量能够有效减小,有助于进一步减小传输开销。
如上的表2~表5等表格,只是为了便于理解而给出的示例,在实际应用中,第一匹配关系可能并不是表格的形式,例如,第一匹配关系可能只是包括了至少一个第一信息,那么第一匹配关系可能只是一串二进制序列的形式,对于至少一种第三匹配关系来说也是同样,不一定是表格的形式。本实施例对于第一匹配关系和至少一种第三匹配关系的具体实现形式不作限制。
本实施例中,终端设备可通过第一匹配关系消息来向网络设备发送第一匹配关系,如果终端设备还需要向网络设备发送至少一种第三匹配关系,则终端设备可通过第二匹配关系消息来发送至少一种第三匹配关系。当然也不限于此,终端设备还可以通过其他的消息来发送第一匹配关系和/或至少一种第三匹配关系。例如,第一匹配关系消息和第二匹配关系消息可以为专用信令,例如为无线链路控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)消息,第一匹配关系消息和第二匹配关系消息中可以包括至少一个能力信息的容器(container)以及对应的RAT类型,该能力信息的容器中可以包括匹配关系,如第一匹配关系、至少一种第三匹配关系。例如,第一匹配关系消息和第二匹配关系消息中可以包括RAT类型参数,且该RAT类型参数设置成eutra-nr,另外还包括一个包含了EN-DC能力信息的容器。
另外,通过第一种方式或第二种方式都可以看到,如果第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信 息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的是终端设备在第二通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,那么终端设备发送给网络设备的第二匹配关系,是终端设备能够支持的第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间的匹配关系所对应的。例如,终端设备如果能够支持第一通信系统下的频带组合1的第一部分能力信息和第二通信系统下的频带组合2的第一部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,则网络设备就有可能会选择应用该匹配关系,那么终端设备就可以向网络设备发送频带组合1的第二部分能力信息和频带组合2的第二部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,也就是发送频带组合1的第三能力信息和频带组合2的第四能力信息之间的匹配关系,从而使得网络设备能够确定终端设备的能力划分,而,如果终端设备如果不支持第一通信系统下的频带组合1的第一部分能力信息和第二通信系统下的频带组合2的第一部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,则网络设备就不会选择应用该匹配关系,那么终端设备也就无需向网络设备发送频带组合1的第二部分能力信息和频带组合2的第二部分能力信息之间的匹配关系,从而有效节省传输开销。
当然,如上的两种通过第一匹配关系(或通过第一匹配关系和至少一种第三匹配关系)向网络设备指示终端设备的能力划分情况的方式,只是举例,本实施例不限制向网络设备指示终端设备的能力划分情况的方式。
前文介绍的是终端设备要向网络设备发送第一匹配关系,可能还会发送至少一种第三匹配关系,那么终端设备除了要向网络设备发送这些匹配关系之外,还可以向网络设备发送终端设备的至少一个第一能力信息,当然也可以向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息,这样网络设备就可以根据终端设备所发送的匹配关系来实际确定终端设备的能力划分。
其中,终端设备可以向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的至少一个网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息。终端设备所发送的至少一个第一能力信息,可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下所具有的第一能力信息的全集。例如,终端设备向网络设备发送的至少一个第一能力信息包括频带组合1下可以支持的第一能力信息1和第一能力信息2,以及频带组合2下可以支持的第一能力信息3。其中,频带组合1和频带组合2是终端设备在第一通信系统中支持的全部频带组合,第一能力信息1和第一能力信息2是终端设备在频带组合1下支持的全部的第一能力信息,第一能力信息3是终端设备在频带组合2下可以支持的全部的第一能力信息。
终端设备向网络设备发送至少一种第一能力信息,一种可能的方式为,将各个可能的频带组合对应的第一能力信息以一个列表的形式发送,例如在第一通信系统下终端设备支持2个频带组合,则对于这2个频带组合中的每个频带组合,其对应的所有的第一能力信息以一个列表的形式发送。例如这2个频带组合分别为频带组合1和频带组合2,频带组合1对应的第一能力信息包括第一能力信息1和第一能力信息2,频带组合2对应的第一能力信息包括第一能力信息3,那么终端设备发送的至少一种第一能力信息可以如表6所示:
表6
频带组合1 | 第一能力信息1,第一能力信息2 |
频带组合2 | 第一能力信息3 |
或者,终端设备向网络设备发送至少一种第一能力信息,另一种可能的方式为,将终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的所有频带组合对应的所有的第一能力信息统一以一个列表的形式发送,在发送时,可能不再关注频带组合与第一能力信息之间的对应关系。继续沿用表6的例子,那么如果按照这种方式,
终端设备发送的至少一种第一能力信息可以如表7所示:
表7
第一能力信息1 |
第一能力信息2 |
第一能力信息3 |
当然,如果采用这种方式,则频带组合与第一能力信息之间的对应关系可能已经事先通知给了网络设备。
如果终端设备也需要向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息,则对于至少一个第二能力信息的发送方式也是类似的,可参考关于至少一个第一能力信息的发送方式的介绍。
例如,终端设备可通过第一能力上报消息来发送至少一个第一能力信息,通过第二能力上报消息来发送至少一个第二能力信息。当然也不限于此,终端设备还可以通过其他的消息来发送至少一个第一能力信息和/或至少一个第二能力信息。例如,第一能力上报消息和第二能力上报消息可以为专用信令,例如为无线链路控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息,第一能力上报消息和第二能力上报消息中可以包括至少一个能力信息的容器(container)以及对应的RAT类型,该能力信息的容器中可以包括能力信息,如第一能力信息、第二能力信息,也可以理解为包括能力信息对应的能力参数。例如,第一能力上报消息中可以包括RAT类型参数,该RAT类型参数可以设置成eutra,另外还包括一个包含了E-UTRA能力信息的容器,第二能力上报消息中可以包括RAT类型参数,该RAT类型参数可以设置成nr,另外还包括一个包含了NR能力信息的容器。其中,终端设备发送至少一个第一能力信息的网络设备与终端设备发送至少一个第二能力信息的网络设备可能是相同的网络设备,例如终端设备都是向第一网络设备和第二网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息,或者终端设备都是向第一网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息,或者,终端设备发送至少一个第一能力信息的网络设备与终端设备发送至少一个第二能力信息的网络设备也可能是不同的网络设备,例如终端设备向第一网络设备和第二网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息,而只向第二网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息,或者终端设备只向第一网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息,以及只向第二网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息。如果终端设备只向其中一个网络设备发送了至少一个第一能力信息,则该网络设备可以将接收的至少一个第一能力信息发送给另一网络设备,对于至少一个第二能力信息也是同理。
在前文也介绍了,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第一能力信息中的每个第一能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第一部分能力信息,那么,终端设备除了可以向网络设备发送至少一个第一能力信息之外,还可以向网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息。终端设备所发送的至少一个第三能力信息,可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下所具有的第三能力信息的全集。例如,终端设备向网络设备发送的至少一个第三能力信息包括频带组合1下可以支持的第三能力信息1和第三能力信息2,以及频带组合2下可以支持的第三能力信息3和第三能力信息4。其中,频带组合1和频带组合2是终端设备在第一通信系统中支持的全部频带组合,第三能力信息1和第三能力信息2是终端设备在频带组合1下支持的全部的第三能力信息,第三能力信息3和第三能力信息4是终端设备在频带组合2下可以支持的全部的第三能力信息。
终端设备向网络设备发送至少一种第三能力信息,一种可能的方式为,将各个可能的频带组合对应的第三能力信息以一个列表的形式发送,例如在第一通信系统下终端设备支持2个频带组合,则对于这2个频带组合中的每个频带组合,其对应的所有的第三能力信息以一个列表的形式发送。例如这2个频带组合分别为频带组合1和频带组合2,频带组合1对应的第三能力信息包括第三能力信息1和第三能力信息2,频带组合2对应的第三能力信息包括第三能力信息3和第三能力信息2,那么终端设备发送的至少一种第三能力信息可以如表8所示:
表8
频带组合1 | 第三能力信息1,第三能力信息2 |
频带组合2 | 第三能力信息3,第三能力信息4 |
或者,终端设备向网络设备发送至少一种第三能力信息,另一种可能的方式为,将终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的所有频带组合对应的所有的第三能力信息统一以一个列表的形式发送,在发送时,可能不再关注频带组合与第三能力信息之间的对应关系。继续沿用表8的例子,那么如果按照这种方式,
终端设备发送的至少一种第三能力信息可以如表9所示:
表9
第三能力信息1 |
第三能力信息2 |
第三能力信息3 |
第三能力信息4 |
当然,如果采用这种方式,则频带组合与第三能力信息之间的对应关系可能已经事先通知给了网络设备。
在前文中还提及了,至少一种第二匹配关系中,包括的可能是第三能力信息标识,那么,终端设备除了向网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息之外,还有要将至少一个第三能力信息对应的至少一个第三能力信息标识发送给网络设备,这样网络设备获得至少一种第二匹配关系后,就可以确定至少一种第二匹配关系中包括的第三能力信息标识指示的是哪些第三能力信息。例如,终端设备可以将至少一个第三能力信息和至少一个第三能力信息标识一并发送给网络设备,无需分开发送,以减小传输开销。在发送时,可以以对应的形式发送,以如前的表8为例,如果终端设备还要一并发送第三能力信息标识,那么终端设备发送的至少一种第三能力信息和至少一个第三能力信息标识可以如表10所示:
表10
再以表8为例,终端设备发送的至少一种第三能力信息和至少一个第三能力信息标识可以如表11所示:
表11
第三能力信息1,第三能力信息标识1 |
第三能力信息2,第三能力信息标识2 |
第三能力信息3,第三能力信息标识3 |
第三能力信息4,第三能力信息标识4 |
可以看到,无论是表10还是表11所示的终端设备的发送方式,第三能力信息和第三能力信息标识都是一一对应的关系,则网络设备能够明确一个第三能力信息标识究竟指示的是哪个第三能力信息。
另外,第一匹配关系所包括的至少一个第二能力信息中的每个第二能力信息,表示的可以是终端设备在第一通信系统下的第二部分能力信息,那么,终端设备除了可以向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力 信息之外,还可以向网络设备发送至少一个第四能力信息。如果终端设备要向网络设备发送至少一个第四能力信息,则对于至少一个第四能力信息的发送方式也是类似的,可参考关于至少一个第三能力信息的发送方式的介绍。当然,如果至少一种第二匹配关系中,包括的是第四能力信息标识,那么,终端设备除了向网络设备发送至少一个第四能力信息之外,还有要将至少一个第四能力信息对应的至少一个第四能力信息标识发送给网络设备,终端设备发送第四能力信息标识的方式也可以参考终端设备发送第三能力信息标识的方式。
例如,终端设备可通过第三能力上报消息来发送至少一个第三能力信息(或至少一个第三能力信息和至少一个第三能力信息标识),通过第四能力上报消息来发送至少一个第四能力信息(或至少一个第四能力信息和至少一个第四能力信息标识)。当然也不限于此,终端设备还可以通过其他的消息来发送至少一个第三能力信息和/或至少一个第四能力信息。例如,第三能力上报消息和第四能力上报消息可以为专用信令,例如为无线链路控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息,第三能力上报消息和第四能力上报消息中可以包括至少一个能力信息的容器(container)以及对应的RAT类型,该能力信息的容器中可以包括能力信息,如第三能力信息、第四能力信息,也可以理解为包括能力信息对应的能力参数。例如,第三能力上报消息中可以包括RAT类型参数,该RAT类型参数可以设置成eutra,另外还包括一个包含了E-UTRA能力信息的容器;或者,第四能力上报消息中可以包括RAT类型参数,该RAT类型参数可以设置成nr,另外还包括一个包含了NR能力信息的容器。
其中,终端设备发送至少一个第三能力信息的网络设备与终端设备发送至少一个第四能力信息的网络设备可能是相同的网络设备,例如终端设备都是向第一网络设备和第二网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息和至少一个第四能力信息,或者终端设备都是向第一网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息和至少一个第四能力信息,或者,终端设备发送至少一个第三能力信息的网络设备与终端设备发送至少一个第四能力信息的网络设备也可能是不同的网络设备,例如终端设备向第一网络设备和第二网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息,而只向第二网络设备发送至少一个第四能力信息,或者终端设备只向第一网络设备发送至少一个第三能力信息,以及只向第二网络设备发送至少一个第四能力信息。如果终端设备只向其中一个网络设备发送了至少一个第三能力信息,则该网络设备可以将接收的至少一个第三能力信息发送给另一网络设备,对于至少一个第四能力信息也是同理。
根据前文的介绍可知,第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的每个网络设备都可以获得终端设备的第一能力信息和第二能力信息,在第一能力信息为终端设备在第一通信系统的第一部分能力信息时,第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的每个网络设备还可以获得终端设备的第三能力信息,在第二能力信息为终端设备在第二通信系统的第一部分能力信息时,第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的每个网络设备还可以获得终端设备的第四能力信息,且第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的每个网络设备都可以获得第一匹配关系,可能还会获得至少一种第三匹配关系。那么,可以由第一网络设备和第二网络设备中终端设备的主网络设备来确定如何分配终端设备的能力,主网络设备可以从第一匹配关系中选择一种匹配关系,也就是选择一种一个第一能力信息和一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系,按照该匹配关系来分配终端设备的能力,相应的,如果还有至少一种第三匹配关系,那么该匹配关系会对应一种第三匹配关系,主网络设备同样可以根据这一种第三匹配关系来分配终端设备的能力。
例如,主网络设备是第一网络设备,则主网络设备将所选择的第一匹配关系中的一种匹配关系指示的一个第一能力信息分配给主网络设备,以及将所选择的第一匹配关系中的一种匹配关系指示的一个第二能力信息分配给辅网络设备。如果这种匹配关系对应了一种第三匹配关系,那么主网络设备还会在这种第三匹配关系中选择一种第二匹配关系,将这种第二匹配关系指示的一个第三能力信息分配给主网络设备,以及将这种第二匹配关系指示的一个第四能力信息分配给辅网络设备。
或者,主网络设备是第二网络设备,则主网络设备确定将所选择的第一匹配关系中的一种匹配关系指示的一个第二能力信息分配给主网络设备,以及确定将所选择的第一匹配关系中的一种匹配关系指示的一个第一能力信息分配给辅网络设备。如果这种匹配关系对应了一种第三匹配关系,那么主网络设备还会在这种第三匹配关系中选择一种第二匹配关系,将这种第二匹配关系指示的一个第四能力信息分配给主网络设备,以及将这种第二匹配关系指示的一个第三能力信息分配给辅网络设备。
至于主网络设备从第一匹配关系中选择一种匹配关系,以及如何从一种第三匹配关系中选择一种第二匹配关系,与主网络设备的具体实现方式有关。例如可能是随机选择,或者可能是根据当前的网络质量来选择等,具体的选择方式不作限制。
主网络设备在从第一匹配关系中选择了一种匹配关系后,或者,在从第一匹配关系中选择了一种匹配关系以及从该匹配关系对应的一种第三匹配关系中选择了一种第二匹配关系后,就确定了终端设备的能力划分。那么,主网络设备可以将终端设备的能力划分情况通知辅网络设备,例如主网络设备可以向辅网络设备发送通知消息,该通知消息就用于指示终端设备的能力划分情况。其中,主网络设备可以直接通过该通知消息将分配给辅网络设备的终端设备的能力信息发送给辅网络设备,则辅网络设备接收该通知消息后就可以直接获得终端设备的能力信息,从而直接根据获得的终端设备的能力信息调用终端设备,或者,主网络设备也可以只是通过该通知消息向辅网络设备通知所选择的第一匹配关系中的一种匹配关系的标识,或者是通过该通知消息向辅网络设备通知所选择的第一匹配关系中的一种匹配关系的标识,以及通知所选择的与该匹配关系对应的一种第三匹配关系中的一种第二匹配关系的标识,则辅网络设备接收该通知消息后,可以通过查询第一匹配关系,或者查询第一匹配关系和至少一种第三匹配关系,来确定终端设备的能力划分情况,这种通知方式下,通知消息的信息量较小,从而传输开销较小。
或者,主网络设备可以先确定主网络设备应用的终端设备的能力信息,例如确定主网络设备是第一网络设备,则主网络设备确定所应用的第一能力信息,那么主网络设备可以将确定的第一能力信息或确定的第一能力信息的第一能力信息标识发送给辅网络设备,则辅网络设备接收第一能力信息或第一能力信息标识后,根据第一匹配关系,确定第一匹配关系中与该第一能力信息或第一能力信息关联的匹配关系有一个或多个,那么,如果第一匹配关系中与该第一能力信息或第一能力信息关联的匹配关系只有一个,则辅网络设备就确定选择该匹配关系,并确定该匹配关系关联的第二能力信息为辅网络设备应用的终端设备的第二能力信息,而,如果第一匹配关系中与该第一能力信息或第一能力信息关联的匹配关系有多个,则辅网络设备可以从中选择一个,从而确定选择的匹配关系关联的第二能力信息为辅网络设备应用的终端设备的第二能力信息。例如辅网络设备可根据网络质量等因素来选取,或者随机选取等,具体的选择方式本实施例不作限制。在这种方式下,主网络设备和辅网络设备都具有一定的主观能动性,都能有一定的选择权。
通过本实施例所提供的方法,终端设备可以向网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息之间的匹配关系,从而网络设备就可以根据获得的匹配关系确定终端设备的能力划分,以对终端设备进行调度。这样可以保证终端设备能够正常工作,网络设备也能对终端设备进行正常调度。
在前文介绍了,第一能力信息可以包括终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息,对此可以理解为,一个第一能力信息,就是终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的一个频带组合所对应的参数集合的一种取值,那么,如果该频带组合对应多个第一能力信息,则其中的每个第一能力信息都是该参数集合的一种取值,也就是说,其中的每个第一能力信息都包括了该参数集合中的全部参数的取值。而在前文中也介绍了,一个频带组合对应的参数集合包括的参数中,有些参数的取值可能是固定的,那么无论是对于该频带组合对应的哪个第一能力信息来说,这些参数的取值都是一样的,相当于,如果终端设备向网络设备发送该频带组合对应的多个第一能力信息,对于这些取值不变的参数来说,就是将同样的信息发送 了多次,这样其实会造成重复发送,也会带来较大的开销。
为了解决该技术问题,本申请实施例再提供一种通信方法,通过该方法就可以尽量减小传输开销,也可以减少重复发送的情况。请参见图4A,为该方法的流程图。其中,图4A所示的实施例可以继续应用在图2所示的应用场景,例如下文中的网络设备可以是图2中的第一网络设备或第二网络设备,或者,图4A所示的实施例还可以应用于图4B所示的应用场景,在图4B所示的应用场景中包括终端设备和网络设备,也就是说,图4A所示的实施例也可以应用于终端设备只接入一个网络设备的场景中。例如图4B所示的场景中,该网络设备例如工作在E-UTRA系统中,也就是,该网络设备为E-UTRA网络设备,或者,该网络设备例如工作在NR系统中,也就是,该网络设备为NR网络设备,当然不限于此,该网络设备还可能是其他的网络设备。在下文的介绍过程中,继续以本申请实施例提供的方法应用于图4B所示的应用场景为例。
S41、终端设备向网络设备发送第一能力信息,则所述网络设备接收来自所述终端设备的所述第一能力信息,所述第一能力信息为所述终端设备的第一能力的第一部分能力信息;
S42、所述终端设备向所述网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息,则所述网络设备接收来自所述终端设备的至少一个所述第二能力信息,所述第二能力信息为所述第一能力的第二部分能力信息,其中,所述第一能力是所述终端设备在无线接入技术的一种能力,一个所述第一能力信息与所述至少一个第二能力信息组成所述第一能力的全部能力信息。
在本实施例中,例如终端设备和该网络设备都工作在第一通信系统中,所述的无线接入技术为第一通信系统所应用的无线接入技术,第一能力对应的全部能力信息就是终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息。例如第一通信系统为NR系统,那么第一通信系统应用的无线接入技术就是NR技术,或者第一通信系统为E-UTRA系统,那么第一通信系统应用的无线接入技术就是E-UTRA技术。
第一能力信息包括的是终端设备的第一能力的第一部分能力信息,而不是终端设备的第一能力的全部能力信息。对于一个频带组合对应的参数集合,可以将该参数集合划分为至少两个部分,其中的每个部分都可以包括至少一个参数。划分方式也可以有多种,例如可以随机划分,或者,可以按照参数的重要性来划分,例如将较为重要的参数划分为一个部分,或者,可以按照参数的取值是否会发生变化的情况来划分,对于具体的划分方式不作限制。下面重点介绍一下按照参数的取值是否会发生变化的情况来划分的方式。
例如,有一些参数的取值是不会变的,也就是说,一个频带组合对应的参数集合包括的参数中,有些参数的取值可能是固定的,而还有一些参数的取值可能会变化,例如载波聚合频带级别,可以是a,b,c……等不同的级别。例如根据参数的取值情况,将参数集合包括的参数划分为第一部分参数和第二部分参数,第一部分参数包括的就是取值不会变化的参数,因此第一部分参数也可以称为固定参数,第一部分参数所表示的能力也可以称为固定能力,第二部分参数包括的是取值会变化的参数,因此第二部分参数也可以称为可变参数,第二部分参数所表示的能力也可以称为可变能力。例如,第一部分参数所指示的能力就是第一部分能力,第二部分参数所指示的能力就是第二部分能力,一个第一能力信息,例如就是一个频带组合对应的第一部分参数的一种取值,而一个第二能力信息,就是一个频带组合对应的第二部分参数的一种取值,当然,这里是以第一部分参数是固定参数、第二部分参数是可变参数为例,因此第一部分参数也就只有一种取值,一个频带组合就对应一个第一能力信息,而第二部分参数可能有多种取值,因此一个频带组合可能对应一个第二能力信息或多个第二能力信息。
当然,具体将参数集合划分为多少个部分,或者具体将一种能力划分为多少个部分,这个数量可以是大于或等于2的,具体数量可通过协议定义,或者也可以由终端设备或网络设备规定,不作限制,本文主要以将参数集合划分为两个部分为例,也即,本文主要以将一种能力划分为两个部分为例。
继续以按照参数的取值是否会发生变化的情况来划分的方式为例。根据前文介绍可知,对于终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的每个频带组合,都会对应一个第一能力信息,以及会对应一个或多个第二能力信息,那么,终端设备在S41中发送的第一能力信息,可以包括终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的所有的频带组合所对应的第一能力信息,也就是说,终端设备在S41中发送的第一能力信息的数量也可能是一个或多个。同理,终端设备在S42中发送的至少一个第二能力信息,也可以包括终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的所有的频带组合所对应的第二能力信息,这样网络设备就能获知终端设备在第一通信系统下的全部能力信息,也就是获知终端设备的第一能力。
因为发送给网络设备的第一能力信息包括终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的所有的频带组合所对应的第一能力信息,发送给网络设备的至少一个第二能力信息也包括终端设备在第一通信系统下支持的所有的频带组合所对应的第二能力信息,那么第一能力信息和第二能力信息之间应该是有一定的对应关系的,这种对应关系通过频带组合体现。那么,终端设备还可以向网络设备发送能力关系信息,能力关系信息就指示第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的至少一种匹配关系,则网络设备接收来自终端设备的能力关系信息后,就可以确定第一能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系。以按照参数的取值是否会发生变化的情况来划分的方式为例,其中的每种匹配关系就表示一个第一能力信息和一个或多个第二能力信息之间的匹配关系。
例如,终端设备在第一通信系统下对应两个频带组合,分别为频带组合1和频带组合2,其中频带组合1对应一个第一能力信息,为第一能力信息1,以及对应2个第二能力信息,分别为第二能力信息1和第二能力信息2,频带组合2对应一个第一能力信息,为第一能力信息2,以及对应3个第二能力信息,分别为第二能力信息3、第二能力信息4和第二能力信息5,那么,终端设备在S41中发送给网络设备的第一能力信息就包括第一能力信息1和第一能力信息2,在S42中发送给网络设备的至少一个第二能力信息就包括第二能力信息3、第二能力信息4和第二能力信息5。另外,终端设备还可以向网络设备发送能力关系信息,能力关系信息就能够指示第一能力信息1与第二能力信息1和第二能力信息2之间的匹配关系,以及指示第一能力信息2与第二能力信息3、第二能力信息4和第二能力信息5之间的匹配关系。
以按照参数的取值是否会发生变化的情况来划分的方式为例,那么终端设备需要发送给网络设备的第二能力信息可能会较多。那么作为另一种实施方式,终端设备向网络设备发送的可以是至少一个第二能力信息标识,而不是至少一个第二能力信息,其中,一个第二能力信息标识用于指示一个第二能力信息。也就是说,终端设备通过发送第二能力信息标识来替代了发送第二能力信息,这样网络设备接收至少一个第二能力信息标识后同样能够确定至少一个第二能力信息,且第二能力信息标识的信息量一般来说远小于第二能力信息的信息量,通过这种方式可以减小传输开销。当然,采用这种方式的前提是,网络设备事先获得了至少一个第二能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息标识之间的对应关系,也就是网络设备事先已经知道第二能力信息标识用于指示什么样的第二能力信息,这样网络设备接收至少一个第二能力信息标识后才能确定相应的至少一个第二能力信息。例如终端设备可以事先将至少一个第二能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息标识之间的对应关系发送给网络设备,或者,至少一个第二能力信息和至少一个第二能力信息标识之间的对应关系也可以通过协议事先规定。
类似的,对于第一能力信息来说,终端设备向网络设备发送的也可以是第一能力信息标识,而不是第一能力信息,其中,一个第一能力信息标识用于指示一个第一能力信息。也就是说,终端设备通过发送第一能力信息标识来替代了发送第一能力信息,这样网络设备接收第一能力信息标识后同样能够确定第一能力信息,且第一能力信息标识的信息量一般来说远小于第一能力信息的信息量,通过这种方式可以进一步减小传输开销。当然,采用这种方式的前提是,网络设备事先获得了第一能力信息和第一能力信息标识之间的对应关系,也就是网络设备事先已经知道第一能力信息标识用于指示什么样的第一能力 信息,这样网络设备接收第一能力信息标识后才能确定相应的第一能力信息。例如终端设备可以事先将第一能力信息和第一能力信息标识之间的对应关系发送给网络设备,或者,第一能力信息和第一能力信息标识之间的对应关系也可以通过协议事先规定。
其中,终端设备可以向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息标识,以及向网络设备发送第一能力信息标识,或者,终端设备可以向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息标识,以及向网络设备发送第一能力信息,或者,终端设备可以向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息,以及向网络设备发送第一能力信息标识,或者,终端设备可以向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息,以及向网络设备发送第一能力信息,具体的本实施例不作限制。
需要注意的是,如果终端设备是向网络设备发送至少一个第二能力信息标识,以及向网络设备发送第一能力信息标识,那么所述的能力关系信息指示的,可以是第一能力信息标识和至少一个第二能力信息标识之间的至少一种匹配关系。也就是说,能力关系信息指示的类型,与终端设备发送的信息的类型有关。
其中,关于第一能力信息的概念,以及发送方式(例如通过什么消息发送)等,可参考图3所示的实施例中对于第一能力信息或第二能力信息的相关介绍,关于第二能力信息的概念,以及发送方式(例如通过什么消息发送)等,可参考图3所示的实施例中对于第三能力信息或第四能力信息的相关介绍,重复的部分不再多赘述。
以根据参数的取值情况划分参数集合、以及将参数集合划分为第一部分参数和第二部分参数为例,可以看到,第一部分参数是固定参数,对于一个频带组合来说,就只对应第一部分参数的一个取值集合,例如对于第一通信系统,就是只对应一个第一能力信息,因此,对于参数集合中取值不变的参数,将这些参数的取值发送给网络设备时就只需发送一次,而无需多次发送,减少了重复发送的信息量,节省了开销。而第二部分参数是可变参数,对于一个频带组合来说,可能会对应第二部分参数的至少一个取值集合,例如对于第一通信系统,就是对应至少一个第二能力信息,因此,对于参数集合中取值可变的参数,可以将这些参数的所有可能的取值都发送给网络设备,从而尽量避免信息的遗漏,使得网络设备能够得到终端设备的完整的能力信息。
