Abstract
本申请提供了一种数据传输的方法和装置。本申请实施例中,当终端设备同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备连接时,终端设备可以只向源网络设备或目标网络设备中的其中一个网络设备发送上行数据,即本申请实施例中只保留一条上行通道的来传输两个网络设备的上行数据,避免终端设备同时与源小区和目标小区进行上行数据传输时产生同频干扰。另外,当终端设备在只能向一个小区发送上行数据时,能够支持与两个小区的同时连接。
Description
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体的,涉及通信领域中的数据传输的方法和装置。
在蜂窝通信系统中,当用户设备(user equipment,UE)移动时,根据UE与基站之间的信号强度的变化情况,会发生UE的服务小区的切换。具体而言,当UE接收到源基站发送的切换命令时,会断开与源小区的无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接,随后开始进行针对目标小区的随机接入过程。当UE向目标小区发送完切换完成消息之后,UE与目标基站之间建立RRC连接。这样,导致在UE断开与源小区的RRC连接到UE与目标基站之间建立RRC连接之间的过程中,UE的数据传输是中断的。
为减少UE切换过程中的数据传输的中断时间,提出了中断延时(make-before-break,MBB)技术,即当UE收到源小区的切换命令后,并不立即中断UE与源小区之间的连接,而是将UE与源小区之间的连接继续维持到UE针对目标小区的首次上行传输时刻。也就是说,UE在收到切换命令后,仍然维持了与源小区的通信,直到UE向目标小区发送随机接入前导码时才中断与源小区之间的通信。
进一步的,增强的MBB方案中,在UE与目标小区的随机接入过程中,UE与源小区的连接也不会中断。这样在切换的过程中,会存在一段时间,UE同时与源小区和目标小区保持连接,也可以同时进行数据传输。因此,在UE同时与源小区和目标小区保持数据传输的场景下,如何避免上行同频干扰是亟需解决的问题,另外当UE在任意时刻只能向一个小区发送数据时,如何支持与两个小区的同时连接也是亟需解决的问题。

本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备,该网络设备可以是全球移动通信(global system for mobile communications,GSM)系统或码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)中的基站(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNB或eNodeB),还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器,或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等,本申请实施例并不限定。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备或网络设备包括硬件层、运行在硬件层之上的操作系统层,以及运行在操作系统层上的应用层。该硬件层包括中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、内存管理单元(memory management unit,MMU)和内存(也称为主存)等硬件。该操作系统可以是任意一种或多种通过进程(process)实现业务处理的计算机操作系统,例如,Linux操作系统、Unix操作系统、Android操作系统、iOS操作系统或windows操作系统等。该应用层包含浏览器、通讯录、文字处理软件、即时通信软件等应用。并且, 本申请实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可,例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是终端设备或网络设备,或者,是终端设备或网络设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。
另外,本申请的各个方面或特征可以实现成方法、装置或使用标准编程和/或工程技术的制品。本申请中使用的术语“制品”涵盖可从任何计算机可读器件、载体或介质访问的计算机程序。例如,计算机可读介质可以包括,但不限于:磁存储器件(例如,硬盘、软盘或磁带等),光盘(例如,压缩盘(compact disc,CD)、数字通用盘(digital versatile disc,DVD)等),智能卡和闪存器件(例如,可擦写可编程只读存储器(erasable programmable read-only memory,EPROM)、卡、棒或钥匙驱动器等)。另外,本文描述的各种存储介质可代表用于存储信息的一个或多个设备和/或其它机器可读介质。术语“机器可读介质”可包括但不限于,无线信道和能够存储、包含和/或承载指令和/或数据的各种其它介质。
作为举例,对于LTE通信系统而言,每个eNB下可以存在多个小区,本申请实施例的技术方案可以适用于每个小区中的eNB和UE。对于5G或NR系统而言,在一个gNB下,可能存在一个或多个发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP),本申请实施例的技术方案可以适用于每个gNB或TRP。对于中心单元(central unit,CU)-分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)分离的场景,在一个CU下,可能存在多个DU,本申请实施例的技术方案可以适用于每个CU或DU。需要说明的是,CU-DU分离场景和多TRP场景的区别在于,TRP只是一个射频单元或一个天线设备,而DU中可以实现协议栈功能,例如DU中可以实现物理层功能。
如图1所示,当终端设备移动时,能够根据小区的信号强度的变化,发生服务小区的切换。在图1中,源网络设备为终端设备当前所在的服务小区所属的网络设备,目标网络设备为终端设备将要切换到的目标小区所属的网络设备。这里,终端设备在没有完成切换之前,当前的服务小区即源小区。本申请实施例中,在终端设备与目标网络设备的随机接入过程中,终端设备与源网络设备的连接也不会中断。这样在切换的过程中,会存在一段时间,终端设备同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备保持连接,终端设备可以同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备进行数据传输。
对上行数据传输而言,终端设备需要分别发送上行数据,这里上行数据包括上行用户数据和/或上行控制信息,其中,上行控制信息包括针对源小区和目标小区的下行数据的肯定应答(acknowledge,ACK)/否定应答(negative-acknowledge,NACK)反馈、源小区和目标小区的信道状态信息(channel status information,CSI)等信息中的至少一个。其中,CSI信息例如为RI、PMI、CQI等,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
具体的,在终端设备同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备连接的情况下,终端设备可以同时接收源网络设备发送的下行数据和目标小区发送的下行数据。本申请实施例中,终端设备需要向网络设备反馈源小区的CSI,使得网络设备能够根据该CSI进行源小区的下行数据调度。当终端设备接收到源小区发送的下行数据时,需要向网络设备反馈源小区该下行数据的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic retransmission request,HARQ)ACK/NACK信息。同理,终端设备需要向网络设备反馈目标小区CSI,使得网络设备能够根据该CSI进行目标小区的下行数据调度。当终端设备接收到目标小区的下行数据时,需要向网络设备发 送针对目标小区该下行数据的HARQ ACK/NACK信息。
本申请实施例中,当源小区与目标小区为同频小区时,为了避免终端设备同时与源小区和目标小区进行上行数据传输产生同频干扰,可以采用只保留一条上行通道的方式实现干扰避免。这种方式也适用于只有单上行能力的终端设备。具体而言,终端设备同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备通信时,可以只向源网络设备或目标网络设备中的其中一个网络设备发送上行数据,进而避免上行同频干扰。
图2示出了本申请实施例提供的一种数据传输的方法的示意图。这里,终端设备在由源小区切换到目标小区的过程中,同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备连接。图2中以执行主体为终端设备和第一网络设备进行说明,其中第一网络设备为源网络设备或目标网络设备。作为示例而非限定,这里终端设备也可以替换为终端设备的芯片,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
应理解,图2示出了数据传输的方法的步骤或操作,但这些步骤或操作仅是示例,本申请实施例还可以执行其他操作或者图2中的各个操作的变形。此外,图2中的各个步骤可以按照与图2呈现的不同的顺序来执行,并且有可能并非要执行图2中的全部操作。
210,第一网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息,第一信息用于指示该终端设备向第一网络设备发送上行数据。对应的,终端设备从第一网络设备接收该第一信息。
本申请实施例中,上行数据包括上行用户数据和/或上行控制信息,其中,上行控制信息包括HARQ ACK/NACK和信道状态信息CSI中的至少一种。具体的,上行数据可以参见上文中的描述,为避免重复,这里不再赘述。
具体而言,当第一网络设备为目标网络设备时,目标网络设备可以向终端设备发送该第一信息,指示终端设备向目标网络设备发送上行数据。
一种可能的实现方式,目标网络设备可以将第一信息包含在切换确认的容器(container),即切换命令中,发送给源网络设备,再由源网络设备将切换命令转发给终端设备。一种可能的实现方式中,目标网络设备可以单独将第一信息发送给终端设备,或者目标网络设备将该第一信息包含在现有消息(例如RRC连接重配置消息)中发送给终端设备,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
当第一网络设备为源网络设备时,源网络设备可以向终端设备发送该第一信息,指示终端设备向源网络设备发送上行数据。
一种可能的实现方式中,源网络设备可以将第一信息包含在切换请求中发送给目标网络设备,然后目标网络设备将该第一消息包含在切换确认的container,即切换命令中发送给源网络设备,再由源网络设备将切换命令转发给终端设备。一种可能的实现方式中,源网络设备单独将第一信息发送给终端设备,或者源网络设备将该第一信息包含在现有消息(例如RRC连接重配置消息)中发送给终端设备,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,当上行数据为上行用户数据时,终端设备可以只向源网络设备或目标网络设备中的其中一个发送上行用户数据,而不需要向另一个网络设备发送该上行用户数据。当终端设备同时接收两个网络设备的下行数据时,终端设备需要向源网络设备或目标网络设备中的其中一个网络设备反馈源小区的上行控制信息和目标小区的上行控制信息,这里上行控制信息例如HARQ ACK/NACK和CSI信息。其中HARQ信息用于指示下行数据是否接收成功,CSI信息用于反馈下行信道信息,为网络设备进行下 行调度提供参考信息。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第一信息可以包括所述第一网络设备配置的第一上行资源指示和第二上行资源指示,其中,第一上行资源指示用于指示传输源小区的上行控制信息的控制信道资源,第二上行资源指示用于指示传输目标小区的上行控制信息的控制信道资源。这里,控制信道资源例如为物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)资源,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
具体而言,此时第一网络设备为终端设备配置了两套控制信道资源,例如两套PUCCH专用资源,其中一套用于传输源小区的上行控制信息,另外一套用于传输目标小区的上行控制信息。一种可能的实现方式中,控制信道资源包括资源索引号。可选的,当控制信道资源为PUCCH专用资源时,该PUCCH专用资源包括PUCCH资源索引号。可选的,该PUCCH专用资源还包括PUCCH格式。一种可能的实现方式中,PUCCH格式可以隐含体现在资源索引号中。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第一信息用于指示所述终端设备通过上行数据信道资源随路传输所述源小区的上行控制信息和所述目标小区的上行控制信息。这里,上行数据信道资源例如可以为物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)资源。
在210中,可替换的,第一网络设备可以不向终端设备发送该第一信息,而是由协议规定该终端设备向第一网络设备发送上行数据,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
220,终端设备向所述第一网络设备发送上行数据。对应的,第一网络设备接收终端设备发送的上行数据。
一种可能的实现方式中,当第一信息包括第一网络设备配置的第一上行资源指示和第二上行资源指示时,终端设备可以将源小区的上行控制信息通过第一上行资源指示所指示的控制信道资源传输给第一网络设备,将目标小区的上行控制信息通过第二上行资源指示所指示控制信道资源传输给第一网络设备。
具体的,当控制信道资源包括资源索引号时,终端设备可以根据该资源索引号,计算出控制信道资源。
另一种可能的实现方式中,当第一信息用于指示终端设备通过上行数据信道随路传输源小区的上行控制信息和目标小区的上行控制信息时,终端设备可以在通过上行数据信道资源传输上行用户数据时,可以使用该上行数据信道资源传输源小区的上行控制信息和目标小区的上行控制信息,即使用该上行数据信道资源穗路传输源小区的上行控制信息和目标小区的上行控制信息。
本申请实施例中,当源网络设备收到终端设备发送上行数据,该上行数据中包括源小区的上行控制信息和目标小区的上行控制信息时,源网络设备将目标小区的上行控制信息转发给目标网络设备。当目标网络设备收到终端设备发送的上行数据,该上行数据中包括源小区的上行控制信息和目标小区的上行控制信息时,目标网络设备将源小区的上行控制信息发送给源网络设备。作为示例,源网络设备和目标网络设备之间可以使用回传链路(backhual)进行数据传输。
因此,本申请实施例中,当终端设备同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备连接时,终端设备可以只向源网络设备或目标网络设备中的其中一个网络设备发送上行数据,即本申请实施例中只保留一条上行通道的来传输两个网络设备的上行数据,避免终端设备同时与源 小区和目标小区进行上行数据传输时产生同频干扰。另外,当终端设备在只能向一个小区发送上行数据时,能够支持与两个小区的同时连接。
本申请实施例中,当源网络设备与目标网络设备之间不具有理想回传(backhaul)条件时,终端设备可以向源网络设备或目标网络设备反馈分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)状态报告或无线链路层控制协议(radio link control,RLC)状态报告,而不需要反馈ACK/NACK反馈或CSI。
具体而言,PDCP状态报告通常用于切换的过程中的数据重传。在切换完成后,终端设备或者网络设备可以向对方发送PDCP状态报告,用于指示传输成功的PDCP SN号和传输不成功的PDCP SN号,用于辅助对方进行重传。RLC状态报告是RCL层启动自动重传请求(automatic repeat-request,ARQ)功能时,收端向发端指示传输成功的无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)序列号(sequence number,SN)号和传输不成功的RLC SN号,用于辅助对方进行重传。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种数据传输的方法的示意图。这里,终端设备在由源小区切换到目标小区的过程中,同时与源网络设备和目标网络设备连接。图3中以执行主体为终端设备和第一网络设备进行说明,其中第一网络设备为源网络设备或目标网络设备中的一个。作为示例而非限定,这里终端设备也可以替换为终端设备的芯片,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
310,终端设备确定针对第一小区的下行数据的第一状态报告,其中,所述第一小区为源小区或目标小区中的一个。
一种具体的实现方式中,所述第一状态报告包括RLC状态报告或PDCP状态报告。具体的,RLC状态报告和PDCP状态报告可以参见上文中的描述,为避免重复,这里不再赘述。
具体的,当终端设备只与目标网络设备保持上行传输时,对于目标网络设备向终端设备发送的下行数据,终端设备可以通过与目标网络设备之间的上行链路向目标网络设备进行ACK/NACK反馈和CSI信息上报。另外,可选的,终端设备也可以向目标网络设备进行RLC或PDCP级别的状态报告的反馈,此时终端设备可以确定针对目标小区的RLC状态报告或PDCP状态报告。对于源网络设备向终端设备发送的下行数据,终端设备可以进行RLC或PDCP级别的状态报告的反馈。这里,终端设备可以进行ACK/NACK反馈和/或CSI信息上报,或者不进行ACK/NACK反馈和/或CSI信息的上报,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
320,所述终端设备向第二网络设备发送所述第一状态报告。对应的,第二网络设备接收该第一状态报告,并将该第一状态报告转发给第一网络设备。
其中,所述第二网络设备为源网络设备,第一网络设备为目标网络设备,所述第一小区为目标小区,第二小区为源小区。或者所述第二网络设备为目标网络设备,第一网络设备为源网络设备,所述第一小区为源小区,第二小区为目标小区。也就是说,当第一小区为目标小区,第二小区为源小区时,第一网络设备为目标网络设备,第二网络设备为源网络设备。当第一小区为源小区,第二小区为目标小区时,第一网络设备为源网络设备,第二网络设备为目标网络设备。
作为举例,当终端设备在310中确定了针对源小区的下行数据的RLC状态报告或PDCP状态报告之后,终端设备向目标网络设备发送该针对源小区的下行数据的RLC状态报告或 PDCP状态报告。然后,目标网络设备将该针对源小区的下行数据的RLC状态报告或PDCP状态报告发送给源网络设备。
本申请实施例中,终端设备使用第二网络设备的上行资源发送第一小区的状态报告。
一种实现方式中,终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送专用RRC消息,所述专用RRC消息中包括所述第一状态报告。
在该方式下,终端设备可以将状态报告封装为一条新的RRC消息,或者将状态报告封装在现有的RRC消息中。可选的,该RRC消息中还可以包括指示信息,该指示信息用于指示该状态报告为RLC状态报告或PDCP状态报告。可选的,该RRC消息中还可以包括指示信息,该指示信息用于指示该状态报告是源小区或目标小区的状态报告。
另一种实现方式中,终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送针对第二小区的下行数据的第二状态报告,并采用与发送该第二状态报告相同的方式和/或消息结构向第二网络设备发送该第一状态报告,其中,所述第一状态报告包括第一指示,所述第一指示用于指示所述第一状态报告为所述第一小区的状态报告。本申请实施例中,第一指示还可以具有其他名称,例如可以被称为小区指示域,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选的,第二状态报告也可以包括第二指示,所述第二指示用于指示所述第二状态报告为所述第二小区的状态报告。或者可选的,第二状态报告也可以与现有技术一样,即不需要包括第二指示。第二网络设备接收到第一状态报告和第二状态报告之后,可以根据第一指示或者第二指示确定哪个状态报告为第一网络设备的状态报告,哪个状态报告为第二网络设备的状态报告。
具体而言,终端设备可以在现有的状态报告中新增加小区指示域,或者使用现有状态报告中的预留域(R域)作为小区指示域,该小区指示域用于指示状态报告所对应的小区。此时,终端设备可以分别向第二网络设备发送针对第二小区的下行数据的状态报告和针对第一小区的下行数据的状态报告,其中,这里发送的针对第二小区的下行数据的状态报告可以与现有技术中终端设备向第二网络设备发送的针对第二小区的下行数据的状态报告结构相同,针对第一小区的的下行数据的状态报告中可以包括上述小区指示域。
图4示出了一种PDCP状态报告的示意图。其中,D/C占用一个bit,表示该PDCP状态报告对应的协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)为控制PDU或数据PDU;FMS(First missing PDCP SN,第一个丢失的PDCP SN)及FMS(cont.)(FMS后续bit)占用15个bit,表示第一个丢失的PDCP PDU的PDCP SN值。可选的,该PDCP状态报告还包括位图1至位图N,分别表示后续PDCP PDU是否被正确接收。该PDCP状态报告中SN号为15比特(bit),其中有5bit的R域。本申请实施例中,作为举例,当终端设备向目标网络设备发送该针对源小区的下行数据的PDCP状态报告时,对于源小区的下行数据的PDCP状态报告而言,该5bit R域中的其中一个bit或多个bit可以作为小区指示域,如图5所示,可以将5bit R域中的前1bit用于指示该PDCP状态报告为源小区的下行数据的PDCP状态报告,对于目标小区的下行数据的PDCP状态报告而言,该5bit R域仍然为保留域。
可选的,本申请实施例中,终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送第三状态报告,该第三状态报告包括第一状态报告和第二状态报告。作为示例,第三状态报告中可以包括两个图4中所示的PDCP状态报告,其中一个为第一状态报告,其中另一个为第二状态报告。这 时,第一状态报告的5bit的R域中至少有一个R域作为小区指示域,用于指示该第一状态报告为针对第一小区的下行数据的状态报告。类似的,第二状态报告的5bit的R域中至少有一个R域作为小区指示域,用于指示该第二状态报告为针对第二小区的下行数据的状态报告。可选的,在第三状态报告中使用2个bit的R域作为指示域,分别用于指示第一状态报告和第二状态报告是否存在。
因此,本申请实施例中,当终端设备同时与源小区和目标小区连接时,终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送针对第一小区的下行数据的状态报告,第二网络设备可以将该状态报告转发给第一网络设备,辅助第一网络设备进行下行重传,其中第二网络设备为源网络设备或目标网络设备中的一个,第一网络设备为另一个。基于此本申请实施例能够避免终端设备同时与源小区和目标小区进行上行数据传输时产生同频干扰。另外,当终端设备在只能向一个小区发送上行数据时,能够支持与两个小区的同时连接。
