具体实施方式
下面结合本申请实施例中的附图对本申请实施例进行描述。
请参见图1图1是本申请实施例提供的一种网络系统的架构示意图,该网络系统包括用户单元(user equipment,UE)和接入网。其中,接入网可以包括基站。例如,5G基站(next generation base station,gNB)、接入点、节点B或演进型节点(environment bureau,eNB)等等。按照协议栈功能可以将gNB拆分为两个部分:CU和DU。CU和DU都是一个逻辑节点,CU可以包括服务数据协议栈(Service Data Protocol,SDAP)、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)和无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)等协议栈实体,DU包括媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)、物理层(physical layer,PHY)和无线链路控制层协议(radio link control,RLC)等协议栈实体。可以理解的是,CU和DU的功能划分还可以是其他的形式,例如CU可以包括服务数据协议栈(service data protocol,SDAP)、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)、无线链路控制层协议(radio link control,RLC)和无线资源控制(radio resource  control,RRC)等协议栈实体,DU包括媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)和物理层(physical layer,PHY)等协议栈实体。
一个gNB可以包括一个CU和多个DU,CU和DU之间通过接口连接,在本申请中称为F1接口,一个CU可以连接多个DU。用户单元可以是指提供到用户的语音和/或数据连接的设备,也可以被连接到诸如膝上型计算机或台式计算机等的计算设备,或者其可以是诸如个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)等的独立设备。用户单元还可以为站点(station,STA)、系统、用户站、移动站、移动台、远程站、接入点、远程终端、接入终端、用户终端、用户代理或用户装置。接入网指在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线终端进行通信的接入网络中的设备。
请参考图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的一种RRC连接初始建立方法的流程示意图。如图所示,至少包括如下步骤:
S201,UE向DU发送RRC连接建立请求(RRC connection request)。
S202,DU接收到RRC连接建立请求之后进行接入控制,如果DU允许UE接入网络,则为该UE生成信令无线承载(radio access bearer,SRB)1的协议栈的配置信息,例如底层协议栈的配置信息。底层协议栈的配置信息包括RLC、MAC、或PHY的协议栈中至少一个的配置信息,并且将该配置信息放在一个F1接口的信元中,在本申请中称之为DU到CU的RRC信息(DU to CU RRC Information)信元,最后向CU发送初始上行RRC传送消息(initial UL RRC message transfer message),该初始上行RRC传送消息包括DU to CU RRC information。
S203,CU接收到初始上行RRC消息之后,如果该初始上行RRC传送消息中包括DU to CU RRC information,则确认DU已经允许UE接入网络,如果CU也允许UE接入网络,则生成RRC连接建立消息,包括CU为UE分配的SRB1的协议栈的配置信息,例如高层协议栈的配置信息。高层协议栈的配置信息可以包括PDCP配置信息。RRC连接建立消息中还可以包括DU to CU RRC information中的DU为该UE分配的SRB1的协议栈的配置信息。最后CU向DU发送下行RRC传送消息(DL RRC message transfer message),该下行RRC传送消息包括RRC连接建立消息。
S204,DU接收到CU发送的下行RRC传送消息之后,向UE发送RRC连接建立消息。
S205,UE接收到RRC连接建立消息之后,根据RRC连接建立消息中的CU为该UE分配的SRB1高层协议栈配置信息和DU为该UE分配的SRB1底层协议栈的配置信息,配置UE的SRB1。UE在配置SRB1完成后,向DU发送RRC连接建立完成消息。
S206,DU向CU发送上行RRC传送消息(UL RRC message transfer message),该上行RRC传送消息包括RRC连接建立完成消息。
在上述RRC连接初始建立的步骤中,DU在接入控制中允许UE的RRC连接建立请求。如图3所示,如果DU拒绝UE的RRC连接建立请求,则执行如下步骤:
S301,UE向DU发送RRC连接建立请求,该RRC连接建立请求包括UE发起RRC连接建立请求原因值信息,例如紧急(emergency)、高优先级接入(high priority access) 或者接入网通知区更新(RAN notification area update,RAN AU)。
S302,DU接收到UE发送的RRC连接建立请求之后,DU拒绝UE的RRC连接建立请求,则不为该UE生成信令无线承载(radio access bearer,SRB)1的协议栈的配置信息,例如底层协议栈的配置信息。底层协议栈的配置信息包括RLC、MAC、或PHY的协议栈中至少一个的配置信息。DU拒绝UE的原因可以包括:DU发生拥塞、DU资源受限、DU小区关闭、DU信道条件不允许服务UE或空口链路失败等等。
S303,DU向CU发送初始上行RRC消息(initial UL RRC message)。
S304,CU接收到DU发送的初始上行RRC消息之后,CU确认DU拒绝UE接入,CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络的方法包括:确认第二消息中不包括DU to CU RRC information,因此CU为UE生成RRC连接拒绝消息。
S305,CU向DU发送RRC连接拒绝消息。
S306,DU接收到RRC连接拒绝消息之后,不对该RRC连接拒绝消息进行解析,直接向UE转发RRC连接拒绝消息。因此在高优先级事件请求场景下,例如紧急呼叫,UE无法建立RRC连接。
在高优先级事件请求场景(例如紧急呼叫),网络侧应该尽可能保证UE能够接入网络并得到网络服务。但是,由于DU可能会出现拥塞,DU接收到UE发送的RRC连接建立请求后可能会拒绝UE接入网络。在紧急呼叫情况下,UE向DU发送RRC连接建立请求之后,由于DU并不能解析RRC连接建立请求,进而无法获知UE正在紧急呼叫,这样导致发起紧急呼叫的UE不能接入网络,严重影响网络服务质量,不能保障通信正常进行。本申请实施例提供了如下解决方案,以期保障通信正常进行。
请参见图4,图4是本申请实施例提供的一种RRC建立方法的流程示意图,该方法包括但不限于如下步骤:
S401,UE向DU发送RRC连接建立请求(RRC connection request)。该RRC连接建立请求可以包括UE发起RRC连接建立请求的第一原因值信息(cause value),该第一原因值信息可以为紧急(emergency)、高优先级接入(high priority access)或者接入网通知区更新(RAN notification area update,RANAU)等等。由于DU没有RRC协议栈,因此DU无法解析RRC连接建立请求消息,从而无法够获知第一原因值信息。
S402,DU接收到UE发送的RRC连接建立请求之后,如果DU不允许UE接入网络,即DU不能为UE提供服务,则DU不会为该UE生成SRB1的协议栈的配置信息,例如底层协议栈的配置信息。底层协议栈的配置信息包括RLC、MAC、或PHY的协议栈中至少一个的配置信息。
S403,DU向CU发送第一消息,该第一消息包括UE向DU发送的RRC连接建立请求。第一消息中可以不包括DU to CU RRC information。该第一消息可以为初始上行RRC消息(initial UL RRC message transfer message)。可选的,第一消息还可以携带指示信息,该指示信息用于指示DU拒绝接收RRC连接建立请求。
S404,CU接收到DU发送的第一消息之后,CU确认DU拒绝UE接入,CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络的方法包括:确认第二消息中不包括DU to CU RRC information。
CU具有RRC协议栈,可以通过解析第一消息中的RRC连接建立请息获取第一原因值信息,根据第一原因值信息,确定允许所述UE建立RRC连接。例如第一原因值信息为紧急,则CU决定为终端提供服务。也即,即使DU拒绝UE接入网络,CU也可以重新决定让UE接入网络,而并不会完全接受DU的接入控制决定,因此CU为UE生成RRC连接建立消息,该RRC连接建立消息中包括CU为UE分配的SRB1的协议栈的配置信息,例如高层协议栈的配置信息。高层协议栈的配置信息可以包括PDCP配置信息。
S405,CU向DU发送第二消息。第二消息可以包括RRC连接建立消息,RRC连接建立消息用于指示UE建立RRC连接。第二消息还可以包括第一指示信息。第一指示信息用于指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接。具体地,可以包括但不限于如下情形:该第一指示信息可以指示DU为UE建立RRC连接;或者指示DU为UE提供服务;或者指示DU允许UE接入;或者指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU为UE提供服务;或者指示CU允许UE接入;或者指示CU决定为UE提供服务等等。该第二消息可以为下行RRC传送消息(DL RRC message transfer message)。
其中,所述第一指示信息可以为第一原因值信息、第二原因值信息或指示值信息。第二原因值信息可以是根据第一消息中的第一原因值信息生成的、或者与第一原因值信息相关。例如,第一原因值为紧急,第二原因值基于该第一原因值生成为紧急呼叫,或者第一原因值为紧急或者高优先级接入,第二原因值基于该第一原因值生成为高优先级事件。另外,指示值信息可以为一个具体数值,例如0或1。例如,当指示值信息为1时,指示DU为UE建立RRC连接;或者指示DU为UE提供服务;或者指示DU允许UE接入;或者指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU为UE提供服务;或者指示CU允许UE接入;或者指示CU决定为UE提供服务等等。当指示值信息为0、或者没有该指示值信息时,DU可以拒绝UE的RRC连接建立请求。指示值信息还可以指示第二消息中包含的RRC连接建立消息需要在SRB1上进行发送。通过指示第二消息中包含的RRC连接建立需要在SRB1上进行发送,结合在步骤S402中DU拒绝UE接入网络,DU确认CU允许UE接入网络。
S406,DU接收到第二消息之后,如果确定允许UE建立RRC连接,可以向UE发送RRC连接建立消息。该RRC连接建立消息可以包括CU为UE分配的SRB1的协议栈的配置信息。由于步骤S402中DU拒绝UE接入网络,没有为UE分配的SRB1的协议栈的配置信息,因此可以不包括DU为该UE分配的SRB1协议栈的配置信息。
可选的,在DU接收到CU发送的第二消息之后,DU依然可以拒绝建立UE的RRC接入网络,例如依然拥塞,并且服务业务全部是紧急呼叫的情况。在这种情况下,DU可以向CU发送的第三消息,该第三消息包括第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示DU拒绝所述UE建立RRC连接。可选的,第三消息中还可以携带DU拒绝所述UE建立RRC连接的原因。可以理解,也可以通过第三消息的消息类型信息指示DU拒绝所述UE建立RRC连接。
S407,UE接收到RRC连接建立消息之后,根据RRC连接建立消息中的CU为该UE分配的SRB1高层协议栈的配置信息来配置UE的SRB1,例如PDCP的配置信息。在 RRC连接建立消息中没有SRB1底层协议栈的配置信息的情况下,UE可以采用默认的SRB1的底层协议栈的配置信息。在配置完成后,向DU发送RRC连接建立完成消息。
S408,DU向CU发送上行RRC传送消息(UL RRC message transfer message),该上行RRC传送消息包括RRC连接建立完成消息。
在本申请实施例中,DU首先拒绝UE的RRC连接建立请求,CU可以根据原因值信息,确定允许UE建立RRC连接,并向DU发送指示信息。该指示信息可以指示DU为UE建立RRC连接,或者指示DU为UE提供服务,或者指示DU允许UE接入,或者指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接,或者建议DU允许UE建立RRC连接,或者建议DU为UE提供服务;或者指示CU允许UE接入,或者指示CU决定为UE提供服务等等。最后DU根据指示信息接受UE建立RRC连接,实现在高优先级事件请求场景下UE快速接入网络,保障通信正常进行。
如图5所示,图5是本申请实施例提供的另一种RRC建立方法的流程示意图。本申请实施例的步骤至少包括:
S501,UE向DU发送第一请求消息。该第一请求消息可以为RRC连接建立请求(RRC connection request),也可以是RRC重建立请求消息,还可以是RRC恢复请求消息。该第一请求消息包括第一原因值信息。第一原因值信息是UE发起第一请求消息的原因。该第一原因值信息可以为紧急,高优先级接入或者接入网通知区更新等等。由于DU没有RRC协议栈,因此DU无法解析第一请求消息,从而无法够获知第一原因值信息。
S502,DU接收到UE发送的第一请求消息之后,在某些情况下,例如DU发生拥塞时,DU不允许UE接入网络,拒绝UE的第一请求消息,即DU不能为UE提供服务。则DU不会为该UE生成SRB1的协议栈的配置信息,例如底层协议栈的配置信息。底层协议栈的配置信息包括RLC、MAC、或PHY的协议栈中至少一个的配置信息。
S503,DU向CU发送第二消息,该第二消息包括UE向DU发送的第一请求消息。该第二消息不包括DU to CU RRC information。该第二消息可以为初始上行RRC传送消息(initial UL RRC message transfer message)。
S504,CU接收到DU发送的第二消息之后,CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络。CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络的方法包括:确认第二消息中不包括DU to CU RRC information。
CU具有RRC协议栈,可以通过解析第二消息中的第一请求消息获取第一原因值信息。参考第一原因值信息,确定允许UE建立RRC连接。例如,所述第一原因值信息为紧急,则CU决定为终端提供服务。也即,即使DU拒绝UE接入网络,CU也可以重新决定让UE接入网络,而并不会完全接受DU的接入控制决定。
S505,CU向DU发送UE上下文建立请求。该UE上下文建立请求可以包括RRC连接建立消息,RRC连接建立消息用于指示UE建立RRC连接。该UE上下文建立请求还可以包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接。具体地,可以包括但不限于如下情形:该第一指示信息可以指示DU为UE建立RRC连接;或者指示DU为UE提供服务;或者指示DU允许UE接入;或者指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU为UE提供服务;或者指示CU允许UE接入;或者指示CU决定为UE提供服务等等。
其中,所述第一指示信息可以为第一原因值信息、第二原因值信息或指示值信息。第二原因值信息可以是根据第一请求消息中的第一原因值信息生成的、或者与第一原因值信息相关。例如,第一原因值为紧急,第二原因值基于该第一原因值生成为紧急呼叫,或者第一原因值为紧急或者高优先级接入,第二原因值基于该第一原因值生成为高优先级事件。另外,指示值信息可以为一个具体数值,例如0或1。例如,当指示值信息为1时,指示DU为UE建立RRC连接;或者指示DU为UE提供服务;或者指示DU允许UE接入;或者指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU为UE提供服务;或者指示CU允许UE接入;或者指示CU决定为UE提供服务等等。当指示值信息为0、或者没有该指示值信息时,DU可以拒绝UE的RRC连接建立请求。
S506,DU接收到UE上下文建立请求之后,如果DU确定允许UE建立RRC连接,则DU确定为UE提供服务或者确定为UE分配相应的资源。例如为UE生成SRB1底层协议栈的配置信息。
S507,DU向CU发送UE上下文建立响应。CU接收来自DU的UE上下文建立响应。
可以理解的是,在DU接收到CU发送的UE上下文建立请求之后,DU依然可以拒绝建立UE的RRC接入网络,例如,DU依然拥塞,并且服务业务全部是紧急呼叫的情况。DU可以向CU发送UE上下文建立失败消息。可选的,该UE上下文建立失败消息中还可以携带DU拒绝所述UE建立RRC连接的原因。

在本申请实施例中,DU首先拒绝UE的第一请求消息,CU可以根据原因值信息,确定允许UE建立RRC连接,并通过UE上下文建立请求向DU发送指示信息,该指示信息可以指示DU为UE建立RRC连接,或者指示DU为UE提供服务,或者指示DU允许UE接入,或者指示DU允许UE建立RRC连接,或者建议DU允许UE建立RRC连接;或者建议DU为UE提供服务,或者指示CU允许UE接入,或者指示CU决定为UE提供服务等等。最后DU根据指示信息接受UE建立RRC连接,实现在高优先级事件请求场景下UE快速接入网络,保障通信正常进行。
请参考图6,图6是本申请实施例提供的另一种RRC建立方法的流程示意图。如图所示,本申请实施例的步骤至少包括:
S601,UE向DU发送连接建立请求消息。该连接建立请求消息可以为RRC连接建立请求,也可以是RRC重建立请求消息,还可以是RRC恢复请求消息。
S602,DU接收到连接建立请求消息之后进行接入控制,如果DU拒绝UE的连接建立请求消息,DU可以为UE分配第一定时器信息(wait timer)。
S603,DU向CU发送第一消息,第一消息可以包括UE向DU发送连接建立请求消息,还可以包括第一定时器信息。第一消息不包括DU to CU RRC Information。其中,该第一消息可以为初始上行RRC消息(initial UL RRC message transfer message)。
S604,CU接收到DU发送的第一消息之后,CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络。CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络,包括:通过第一消息进行确认。例如,第一消息中不包括DU to CU RRC information,即可确认CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络。或者第一消息中包括第一定时器信息,即可确认CU确认DU拒绝UE接入网络。
在CU确定拒绝UE建立RRC连接的情况下,CU生成RRC连接拒绝消息,该RRC连接拒绝消息中包括第二定时器信息。其中,所述第二定时器信息与第一定时器信息相同,或所述第二定时器信息基于所述第一定时器信息生成,或者第二定时器信息还可以由CU自己重新生成。
S605,在CU确定拒绝UE建立RRC连接的情况下,CU向DU发送第二消息,所述第二消息包括第二定时器信息。
S606,DU向UE发送RRC连接拒绝消息,该RRC连接拒绝消息包括第二定时器信息,UE接收到RRC连接拒绝消息之后,启动第二定时器信息,UE在所述第二定时器信息所指示的时间后,重新向DU发送连接建立请求消息。
在本申请实施例中,在UE向DU发送连接建立请求消息之后,DU拒绝UE的连接建立请求消息,但是分配一个定时器信息。CU接收到DU发送的第一消息之后,也拒绝UE的连接建立请求消息,可以向DU发送第二消息,该第二消息包括RRC连接拒绝消息和定时器信息。DU将RRC连接拒绝消息转发给UE,UE接收到RRC连接拒绝消息之后,可以启动该定时器信息,在等待定时器信息所指示的时间后,重新向DU发送连接建立请求消息。使得UE能够接入网络,保障通信正常进行。
