为了能够更加详尽地了解本发明实施例的特点与技术内容,下面结合附图对本发明实施例的实现进行详细阐述,所附附图仅供参考说明之用,并非用来限定本发明实施例。
实施例一、
本发明实施例提供了一种切换上报的方法,应用于终端设备,如图2所示,包括:
步骤201:当终端设备与第一目标网络设备建立连接成功时,发送第一指示信息;其中,所述第一指示信息用于向所述源网络设备指示与第一目标网络设备连接成功;
和/或,
当终端设备与第一目标网络设备建立连接失败时,发送第二指示信息;其中,所述第二指示信息用于向源网络设备指示与第一目标网络设备连接失败。
需要理解的是,本实施例中步骤201中发送第一指示信息和/或发送第二指示信息侧执行不分先后顺序,而是根据实际情况确定。
其中,所述终端设备与第一目标网络设备建立连接成功,包括:与所述第一目标网络设备随机接入成功、或者、与第一目标网络设备获得同步时,确定终端设备与第一目标网络设备建立连接成功。
也就是说,终端设备与第一目标网络设备发起随机接入时,若成功则发送第一指示信息;或者,终端设备与第一目标网络设备发送上行消息,一旦与第一目标网络设备获得同步,就确定与第一目标网络设备建立连接成功。
本实施例提供的方案,可以应用于终端设备能够配置至少一个目标网络设备的场景中,具体的,在执行前述步骤201之前,本实施例提供的所述方法还包括:
接收源网络设备发来的切换命令;其中,所述切换命令中包含有针对至少一个目标网络设备的配置消息,所述至少一个目标网络设备中包含有所述第一目标网络设备。
其中,所述切换命令可以为通过源网络设备发送给终端设备,并且,源网络设备可以从至少一个目标网络设备获取相应的目标网络设备的信息。关于切换并获取相关信息的流程,可以参见图3所示,包括:
切换准备阶段,包含图中步骤1-6:源网络设备向终端设备发送测量控制;终端设备进行针对多个网络设备或小区的测量之后,向源网络设备发送测量报告;源网络设备根据测量报告(或者结合RRM信息)进行切换决策;源网络设备向目标网络设备发送切换请求以使得目标网络设备准备进行切换;目标网络设备根据切换请求进行切换许可控制;目标网络设备确定进行切换时,向源网络设备发送切换请求确认。
然后进行执行切换阶段,包含图中步骤7-11,具体的:目标网络设备生成RRC信息,将RRC连接重配置信息发送至源网络设备,由源网络设备通过RRC连接重配置信息发送至终端设备;终端设备接收到RRC连接重配置信息后,根据连接重配置信息执行切换处理;然后源网络设备发送SN状态传输至目标网络设备;终端设备与目标网络设备进行同步,然后接收目标网络设备进行UL分配,向目标网络设备发送RRC连接重配置完成信息。
最后进入切换完成阶段,包含图中12-18,具体的:目标网络设备向MME发送路径切换请求,以通知MME终端设备改变小区;MME向服务网关发送调整承载请求,由MME进行切换下行路径处理;服务网关完成处理后,向MME发送承载调整完成处理,并由MME向目标网络设备发送路径切换请求的确认消息;目标网络设备向源网络设备通知终端设备上下文释放由源网络设备释放资源。
当终端设备获取到至少一个目标网络设备的切换命令时,可以基于切换命令从至少一个目标网络设备中选取第一目标网络设备,然后向第一目标网络设备发起连接;
具体的,所述第一指示信息中,还包括:
成功建立连接的第一目标网络设备的标识信息;或者,成功建立连接的第一目标网络设备的标识信息,以及连接失败的至少一个其他目标网络设备的标识信息;其中,所述其他目标网络设备与所述第一目标网络设备不同。
也就是说,如果与第一目标网络设备连接成功,则向源网络设备发送第一目标网络设备的标识信息。
另外,在于第一目标网络设备建立连接之前,本次切换过程中还可以与其他多个目标网络设备曾经尝试建立连接,比如,第四目标网络设备、第五目标网络设备,若与这些其他目标网络设备建立连接失败,则记录所述其他目标网络设备的标识信息;直至终端设备与第一目标网络设备连接成功的时候,可以将第一目标网络设备的标识信息发送至源网络设备的同时,还会将至少一个其他目标网络设备的标识信息发送至源网络设备。
本实施例还可以提供另一种处理场景,就是每次连接失败均向网络侧发送第二指示信息;此时,可以在终端设备与第一目标网络设备连接成功的时候,仅需要向网络侧指示本次连接成功的第一目标网络设备的标识信息携带在第一指示信息中发送给源网络设备,当然,也可以将第一目标网络设备的标识信息以及连接失败的其他目标网络设备的标识信息通过第一指示信息一起发送给源网络设备。
所述第二指示信息中,还包括:与所述第一目标网络设备连接失败的原因,和/或,所述第一目 标网络设备的标识信息。
其中,所述与所述第一目标网络设备连接失败的原因,可以包括:失败原因可以是T304超时、T307超时、或随机接入达到最大重传次数;或者,还也可以是其他导致切换的原因。
其中,所述T304以及T307为预设的定时器,T304的触发可以为终端设备接收到RRC连接重配置信息,并且在RRC连接重配置信息中包含有移动控制信息;T307的触发可以为RRC连接重配置信息,并且在RRC连接重配置信息中包含有SCG移动控制信息。另外,T304停止可以为切换成功,T307停止可以为随机接入PSCell;T304、T307超时则可以认为切换失败,并执行相应的处理,比如,RRC重连接或者其他的信息通知流程等,这里不做穷举。
所述随机接入的最大重传次数可以根据实际情况进行设置,比如,可以为10次,当然还可以多于或少于10次,这里不做限定。
进一步地,本实施例在发送第二指示信息的情况下,确定与第一目标网络设备连接失败的情况下,可以直接从配置的至少一个目标网络设备中重新选取新的目标网络设备,比如,直接从至少一个目标网络设备中选取第二目标网络设备,然后与第二目标网络设备发起连接;此时,可以将第二目标网络设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,并重新执行本实施例提供的前述方案,以此类推。还需要指出的是,这里可以设置重选次数门限值,根据实际情况进行设置,比如5次或其他次数,当重新选取目标网络设备的次数达到重选次数门限值的时候,可以确定切换失败,此后,可以执行RRC连接重建立、返回至空闲态等其他状态,这里不做穷举。
本实施例提供的方案,可以应用于终端设备配置一个目标网络设备、且与源网络设备保持连接的场景中,此时执行的方案与前述不同之处在于,在第二指示信息中还可以包括:指示源网络设备为终端设备选择第二目标网络设备进行切换。
也就是说,源网络设备还可以从多个目标网络设备中为终端设备重新选取一个第二目标网络设备使得终端设备向第二目标网络设备发起接入连接流程;需要理解的是,此时可以将第二目标网络设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,重新执行前述处理,这里不再赘述。第二目标网络设备与第一目标网络设备不同。另外,源网络设备还可以控制选取次数,也是根据预设的重选次数门限值控制重选次数,比如,可以根据实际情况设置为8次等等,这里不做限定。
基于前述描述,本实施例中,所述第一指示信息或第二指示信息中,还包括:所述终端设备的连接状态。
其中,终端设备的连接状态,可以包括有与源网络设备的连接状态、与第一目标网络设备的连接状态、与第二目标网络设备的连接状态中的至少之一;所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为所述终端设备切换时的目标网络设备;或者,所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为辅助节点SN,所述源网络设备为主节点MN。此处需注意,长期演进(LTE)系统中,SN称为SCG,在新无线(NR)则为SN,指的是一样的概念,就是DC场景下的第二服务网络设备。
具体来说,终端设备的连接状态可以为:终端设备与源网络设备保持连接、与目标网络设备连接失败;终端设备与源网络设备断开连接、与目标网络设备连接成功;终端设备与辅助小区组(SCG)连接失败、SCG改变连接失败。当然,还可以有,在配置了多个SCG场景中,终端设备与一个SCG连接失败;配置了多个目标小区的场景中,终端设备与一个目标小区连接失败。还可能会存在其他的适用场景,只是本实施例中不再进行穷举。
关于发送第一指示信息以及发送第二指示信息的方式进行描述。具体的,所述发送第一指示信息,为:通过无线资源控制(RRC,Radio Resource Control)信令向源网络设备发送第一指示信息、或者、通过非接入层(NAS,Non-access stratum)信令向网络发送第一指示信息;
所述发送第二指示信息,为:通过RRC是指信令向源网络设备发送第二指示信息、或者、通过NAS信令向网络发送第二指示信息。
其中,发送第一指示信息和/或发送第二指示信息,可以为向源网络设备发送,或者可以为向网络侧发送,其中,向网络发送可以为向E-UTRA发送;可以理解的是,向网络侧发送之后,可以通过网络之间的连接最终由源网络设备进行保存。
所述发送第一指示信息,包括以下之一:直接向所述源网络设备发送第一指示信息;通过第一目标网络设备向所述源网络设备转发所述第一指示信息;向网络侧发送第一指示信息;
所述发送第二指示信息,包括以下之一:直接向所述源网络设备发送第二指示信息;向网络侧发送第二指示信息。
也就是说,当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接成功之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,以通知连接成功;当然,可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,另外,还可以由终端设备向第一目标网络设备发送第一指示信息之后,由第一目标网络设备将第一指示信息转发给源网络设备;还可以将第一指示信息发送至网络侧(比如,E-UTRA)。其中,需要指出的是,当终端设备向目标网络设备发送第一指示信息之后,第一目标网络设备执行的操作可以包括:第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,和/或,第一目标网络设备向网络侧发送第一指示信息。
当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接失败之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,以通知与第一目标网络设备连接失败;或者,可以向网络侧发送第二指示信息。这里需要说明的是,如果和第一目标网络设备连接失败,还可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,只是这时由于终端设备和第一目标网络设备之间没有连接,所以不会由终端设备向 第一目标网络设备发送第二指示信息。
关于第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息中,还可以包括切换期间一些测量信息;当网络侧或源基站收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息之后,可以用于后续网络优化。第二指示信息中的切换失败过程中的测量信息,以用于网络侧进行后续进行网络优化。
本实施例提供的另一种场景为双连接架构下的切换处理,当终端设备从源基站切换至目标基站时,源基站可以将第一目标网络设备添加为源网络设备的SN。如图10所示,图中为DC架构中MCG承载(bearer)和MCG split bearer中协议栈的示意图,其中,服务小区可以认为终端设备的主节点MN的协议栈,目标小区则可以理解为第一目标网络设备即SN的协议栈。
终端设备当前可以处于与主节点(MN)进行连接的情况下,当终端设备进行切换时,将所述源网络设备的辅节点SN作为主节点MN;其中,所述源网络设备的SN为第一目标网络设备;与第一目标网络设备建立连接。
其中,终端设备进行切换可以为终端设备接收到切换指令的时候,此时,将源网络设备的SN,也就是第一目标网络设备直接变换为MN,以实现零延时切换。所述将源网络设备的辅节点SN作为主节点MN时,所述方法还包括:
将所述源网络设备作为第一目标网络设备的SN。
也就是说,当第一目标网络设备切换成功的时候,可以理解为第一目标网络设备此时作为主节点MN,而源网络设备作为第一目标网络设备的辅节点SN。
这种场景下,如果SN变为MN失败,也就是当与第一目标网络设备建立连接失败时,可以进行RRC连接重建。具体来说,触发进行RRC连接重建,可以为与第一目标网络设备建立连接失败的原因为:主小区群(MCG)承载失败(bearer failure),比如,可以为MCG bearer所承载的数据的RLC ARQ达到预设重传次数门限值时。
或者,如果SN变为MN失败,也就是当与第一目标网络设备建立连接失败时,可以发送第二指示信息。
此时,第二指示信息,可以为直接向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,或者,还可以向网络侧发送第二指示信息。其中,源网络设备在DC架构下,可以理解为切换之前的MN。
进一步地,触发发送第二指示信息的触发条件可以包括以下之一:
当辅小区群失败(SCG failure)时,发送第二指示信息;
当主小区群分叉承载(MCG split bearer)所承载的数据的自动重传请求(ARQ)超过预设重传次数门限值时,发送第二指示信息;
当辅小区群分叉承载(SCG split bearer)所承载的数据的自动重传请求(ARQ)超过预设重传次数门限值时,发送第二指示信息。
最后,还需要指出的是,当向第一目标网络设备发起连接的同时,保持源网络设备的连接的时候,本实施例中终端设备还可以保留与源网络设备之间的连接;其中,所述终端设备保留与源网络设备的第一协议栈以及第一相关密钥、并且维护与第一目标网络设备之间的第二协议栈以及第二相关密钥;
其中,所述第一相关密钥与第二相关密钥不同。第二相关密钥可以由第一相关密钥生成。
其中,第一协议栈与第二协议栈可以相同也可以不同,或者至少部分不同,比如,当针对5G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的服务数据应用协议(SDAP,Service Data Adaptation Protocol)、不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体;当针对4G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体。另外,本实施例提供的方案中,为了保证使用不同密钥,第一协议栈以及第二协议栈的PDCP一定是不同的。SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,则可以相同也可以不同。或者,所述第一协议栈以及第二协议栈可以共用SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,或者可以分别拥有SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层。
可见,通过采用上述方案,能够在于第一目标网络设备建立连接的时候,向源网络设备发送第一指示信息和、或第二指示信息,以通知源网络设备与第一目标网络设备的连接是否成功;如此,使得本方案提出更多的为源网络设备发送指示信息的场景,适应于更多的切换场景。
实施例二、
本发明实施例提供了一种切换上报的方法,应用于源网络设备,如图4所示,包括:
步骤401:接收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息;其中,所述第一指示信息用于向所述源网络设备指示与第一目标网络设备连接成功;所述第二指示信息用于向源网络设备指示与第一目标网络设备连接失败。
其中,所述终端设备与第一目标网络设备建立连接成功,包括:与所述第一目标网络设备随机接入成功、或者、与第一目标网络设备获得同步时,确定终端设备与第一目标网络设备建立连接成功。
也就是说,终端设备与第一目标网络设备发起随机接入时,若成功则发送第一指示信息;或者,终端设备与第一目标网络设备发送上行消息,一旦与第一目标网络设备获得同步,就确定与第一目 标网络设备建立连接成功。
本实施例提供的方案,接收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息之前,所述方法还可以包括:
向终端设备发送切换命令;其中,所述切换命令中包含有针对至少一个目标网络设备的配置消息,所述至少一个目标网络设备中包含有所述第一目标网络设备。
其中,源网络设备可以从至少一个目标网络设备获取相应的目标网络设备的信息。关于切换并获取相关信息的流程,可以参见图3所示,包括:
切换准备阶段,包含图中步骤1-6:源网络设备向终端设备发送测量控制;终端设备进行针对多个网络设备或小区的测量之后,向源网络设备发送测量报告;源网络设备根据测量报告(或者结合RRM信息)进行切换决策;源网络设备向目标网络设备发送切换请求以使得目标网络设备准备进行切换;目标网络设备根据切换请求进行切换许可控制;目标网络设备确定进行切换时,向源网络设备发送切换请求确认。
然后进行执行切换阶段,包含图中步骤7-11,具体的:目标网络设备生成RRC信息,将RRC连接重配置信息发送至源网络设备,由源网络设备通过RRC连接重配置信息发送至终端设备;终端设备接收到RRC连接重配置信息后,根据连接重配置信息执行切换处理;然后源网络设备发送SN状态传输至目标网络设备;终端设备与目标网络设备进行同步,然后接收目标网络设备进行UL分配,向目标网络设备发送RRC连接重配置完成信息。
最后进入切换完成阶段,包含图中12-18,具体的:目标网络设备向MME发送路径切换请求,以通知MME终端设备改变小区;MME向服务网关发送调整承载请求,由MME进行切换下行路径处理;服务网关完成处理后,向MME发送承载调整完成处理,并由MME向目标网络设备发送路径切换请求的确认消息;目标网络设备向源网络设备通知终端设备上下文释放由源网络设备释放资源。
当终端设备获取到至少一个目标网络设备的切换命令时,可以基于切换命令从至少一个目标网络设备中选取第一目标网络设备,然后向第一目标网络设备发起连接;
具体的,所述第一指示信息中,还包括:
成功建立连接的第一目标网络设备的标识信息;或者,成功建立连接的第一目标网络设备的标识信息,以及连接失败的至少一个其他目标网络设备的标识信息;其中,所述其他目标网络设备与所述第一目标网络设备不同。
也就是说,如果与第一目标网络设备连接成功,则向源网络设备发送第一目标网络设备的标识信息。
另外,在于第一目标网络设备建立连接之前,本次切换过程中还可以与其他多个目标网络设备曾经尝试建立连接,比如,第四目标网络设备、第五目标网络设备,若与这些其他目标网络设备建立连接失败,则记录所述其他目标网络设备的标识信息;直至终端设备与第一目标网络设备连接成功的时候,可以将第一目标网络设备的标识信息发送至源网络设备的同时,还会将至少一个其他目标网络设备的标识信息发送至源网络设备。
本实施例还可以提供另一种处理场景,就是每次连接失败均向网络侧发送第二指示信息;此时,可以在终端设备与第一目标网络设备连接成功的时候,仅需要向网络侧指示本次连接成功的第一目标网络设备的标识信息携带在第一指示信息中发送给源网络设备,当然,也可以将第一目标网络设备的标识信息以及连接失败的其他目标网络设备的标识信息通过第一指示信息一起发送给源网络设备。
所述第二指示信息中,还包括:与所述第一目标网络设备连接失败的原因,和/或,所述第一目标网络设备的标识信息。
其中,所述与所述第一目标网络设备连接失败的原因,可以包括:失败原因可以是T304超时、T307超时、或随机接入达到最大重传次数;或者,还也可以是其他导致切换的原因。
其中,所述T304以及T307为预设的定时器,T304的触发可以为终端设备接收到RRC连接重配置信息,并且在RRC连接重配置信息中包含有移动控制信息;T307的触发可以为RRC连接重配置信息,并且在RRC连接重配置信息中包含有SCG移动控制信息。另外,T304停止可以为切换成功,T307停止可以为随机接入PSCell;T304、T307超时则可以认为切换失败,并执行相应的处理,比如,RRC重连接或者其他的信息通知流程等,这里不做穷举。
所述随机接入的最大重传次数可以根据实际情况进行设置,比如,可以为10次,当然还可以多于或少于10次,这里不做限定。
进一步地,本实施例在发送第二指示信息的情况下,确定与第一目标网络设备连接失败的情况下,可以直接从配置的至少一个目标网络设备中重新选取新的目标网络设备,比如,直接从至少一个目标网络设备中选取第二目标网络设备,然后与第二目标网络设备发起连接;此时,可以将第二目标网络设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,并重新执行本实施例提供的前述方案,以此类推。还需要指出的是,这里可以设置重选次数门限值,根据实际情况进行设置,比如5次或其他次数,当重新选取目标网络设备的次数达到重选次数门限值的时候,可以确定切换失败,此后,可以执行RRC连接重建立、返回至空闲态等其他状态,这里不做穷举。
本实施例提供的方案,可以应用于终端设备配置一个目标网络设备、且与源网络设备保持连接的场景中,此时执行的方案与前述不同之处在于,在第二指示信息中还可以包括:指示源网络设备为终端设备选择第二目标网络设备进行切换。此时,所述方法还包括:接收到第二指示信息后,基 于第二指示信息为终端设备从至少一个目标网络设备中选择第二目标网络设备,并发送至终端设备。
也就是说,源网络设备还可以从多个目标网络设备中为终端设备重新选取一个第二目标网络设备使得终端设备向第二目标网络设备发起接入连接流程;需要理解的是,此时可以将第二目标网络设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,重新执行前述处理,这里不再赘述。第二目标网络设备与第一目标网络设备不同。另外,源网络设备还可以控制选取次数,也是根据预设的重选次数门限值控制重选次数,比如,可以根据实际情况设置为8次等等,这里不做限定。
基于前述描述,本实施例中,所述第一指示信息或第二指示信息中,还包括:所述终端设备的连接状态。
其中,终端设备的连接状态,可以包括有与源网络设备的连接状态、与第一目标网络设备的连接状态、与第二目标网络设备的连接状态中的至少之一;所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为所述终端设备切换时的目标网络设备;或者,所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为辅助节点SN,所述源网络设备为主节点MN。此处需注意,长期演进(LTE)系统中,SN称为SCG,在新无线(NR)则为SN,指的是一样的概念,就是DC场景下的第二服务网络设备。
具体来说,终端设备的连接状态可以为:终端设备与源网络设备保持连接、与目标网络设备连接失败;终端设备与源网络设备断开连接、与目标网络设备连接成功;终端设备与辅助小区组(SCG)连接失败、SCG改变连接失败。当然,还可以有,在配置了多个SCG场景中,终端设备与一个SCG连接失败;配置了多个目标小区的场景中,终端设备与一个目标小区连接失败。还可能会存在其他的适用场景,只是本实施例中不再进行穷举。
关于接收第一指示信息以及发送第二指示信息的方式进行描述。具体的,通过无线资源控制(RRC,Radio Resource Control)信令接收第一指示信息、或者、通过非接入层(NAS,Non-access stratum)信令接收网络侧的第一指示信息;
和/或,通过RRC是指信令接收源网络设备发送第二指示信息、或者、通过NAS信令接收网络发送的第二指示信息。
所述接收到第一指示信息,包括以下之一:接收终端设备直接向所述源网络设备发来的第一指示信息;接收第一目标网络设备转发的所述第一指示信息;通过网络侧获取第一指示信息;
所述向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,包括以下之一:接收终端设备直接向所述源网络设备发来的第二指示信息;接收第一目标网络设备发送的所述第二指示信息;通过网络侧获取第二指示信息。
也就是说,当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接成功之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,以通知连接成功;当然,可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,另外,还可以由终端设备向第一目标网络设备发送第一指示信息之后,由第一目标网络设备将第一指示信息转发给源网络设备;还可以将第一指示信息发送至网络侧(比如,E-UTRA)。
当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接失败之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,以通知与第一目标网络设备连接失败;或者,可以向网络侧发送第二指示信息。这里需要说明的是,如果和第一目标网络设备连接失败,还可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,只是这时由于终端设备和第一目标网络设备之间没有连接,所以不会由终端设备向第一目标网络设备发送第二指示信息。
还需要理解的是,当源网络设备接收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息之后,还可以将第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息,发送至网络侧。其发送方式可以为通过NAS信令发送,这里不再穷举。
关于第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息中,还可以包括切换期间一些测量信息;当网络侧或源基站收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息之后,可以用于后续网络优化。第二指示信息中的切换失败过程中的测量信息,以用于网络侧进行后续进行网络优化。
本实施例提供的另一种场景为双连接架构下的切换处理,当终端设备从源基站切换至目标基站时,源基站可以将第一目标网络设备添加为源网络设备的SN。如图10所示,图中为DC架构中MCG承载(bearer)和MCG split bearer中协议栈的示意图,其中,服务小区可以认为终端设备的主节点MN的协议栈,目标小区则可以理解为第一目标网络设备即SN的协议栈,当从MN切换至SN时,可以将PDCP的数据直接传给目标小区的RLC。
在这种架构下,当切换成功之后,可以将源网络设备,即作为第一目标网络设备的SN的源网络设备删除;当切换失败的时候,可以接收终端设备或第一目标网络设备发来的第二指示信息。
最后,还需要指出的是,当向第一目标网络设备发起连接的同时,保持源网络设备的连接的时候,本实施例中终端设备还可以保留与源网络设备之间的连接;其中,所述终端设备保留与源网络设备的第一协议栈以及第一相关密钥、并且维护与第一目标网络设备之间的第二协议栈以及第二相关密钥;
其中,所述第一相关密钥与第二相关密钥不同。第二相关密钥可以由第一相关密钥生成。
其中,第一协议栈与第二协议栈可以相同也可以不同,或者至少部分不同,比如,当针对5G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的服务数据应用协议(SDAP,Service Data Adaptation Protocol)、不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体;当针对4G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet  Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体。另外,本实施例提供的方案中,为了保证使用不同密钥,第一协议栈以及第二协议栈的PDCP一定是不同的。SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,则可以相同也可以不同。或者,所述第一协议栈以及第二协议栈可以共用SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,或者可以分别拥有SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层。
可见,通过采用上述方案,能够在于第一目标网络设备建立连接的时候,向源网络设备发送第一指示信息和、或第二指示信息,以通知源网络设备与第一目标网络设备的连接是否成功;如此,使得本方案提出更多的为源网络设备发送指示信息的场景,适应于更多的切换场景。

另外,如果当终端设备和目标网络设备建立连接失败的时候,目标网络设备也可以确定自身是否与终端设备连接成功,此时,可以将第二指示信息发送至网络侧、或者、将第二指示信息发送至源基站。

所述随机接入的最大重传次数可以根据实际情况进行设置,比如,可以为10次,当然还可以多于或少于10次,这里不做限定。
进一步地,本实施例在发送第二指示信息的情况下,确定与第一目标网络设备连接失败的情况下,可以直接从配置的至少一个目标网络设备中重新选取新的目标网络设备,比如,直接从至少一个目标网络设备中选取第二目标网络设备,然后与第二目标网络设备发起连接;此时,可以将第二目标网络设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,并重新执行本实施例提供的前述方案,以此类推。还需要指出的是,这里可以设置重选次数门限值,根据实际情况进行设置,比如5次或其他次数,当重新选取目标网络设备的次数达到重选次数门限值的时候,可以确定切换失败,此后,可以执行RRC连接重建立、返回至空闲态等其他状态,这里不做穷举。

也就是说,源网络设备还可以从多个目标网络设备中为终端设备重新选取一个第二目标网络设备使得终端设备向第二目标网络设备发起接入连接流程;需要理解的是,此时可以将第二目标网络设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,重新执行前述处理,这里不再赘述。第二目标网络设备与第一目标网络设备不同。另外,源网络设备还可以控制选取次数,也是根据预设的重选次数门限值控制重选次数,比如,可以根据实际情况设置为8次等等,这里不做限定。
基于前述描述,本实施例中,所述第一指示信息或第二指示信息中,还包括:所述终端设备的连接状态。

具体来说,终端设备的连接状态可以为:终端设备与源网络设备保持连接、与目标网络设备连接失败;终端设备与源网络设备断开连接、与目标网络设备连接成功;终端设备与辅助小区组(SCG)连接失败、SCG改变连接失败。当然,还可以有,在配置了多个SCG场景中,终端设备与一个SCG连接失败;配置了多个目标小区的场景中,终端设备与一个目标小区连接失败。还可能会存在其他的适用场景,只是本实施例中不再进行穷举。
关于发送第一指示信息以及发送第二指示信息的方式进行描述。具体的,所述第一通信单元51,通过无线资源控制(RRC,Radio Resource Control)信令向源网络设备发送第一指示信息、或者、通过非接入层(NAS,Non-access stratum)信令向网络发送第一指示信息;
所述第一通信单元51,通过RRC是指信令向源网络设备发送第二指示信息、或者、通过NAS信令向网络发送第二指示信息。
其中,发送第一指示信息和/或发送第二指示信息,可以为向源网络设备发送,或者可以为向网络侧发送,其中,向网络发送可以为向E-UTRA发送;可以理解的是,向网络侧发送之后,可以通过网络之间的连接最终由源网络设备进行保存。
所述第一通信单元51,执行以下之一:直接向所述源网络设备发送第一指示信息;通过第一目标网络设备向所述源网络设备转发所述第一指示信息;向网络侧发送第一指示信息;
所述第一通信单元51,执行以下之一:直接向所述源网络设备发送第二指示信息;向网络侧发送第二指示信息。
也就是说,当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接成功之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,以通知连接成功;当然,可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,另外,还可以由终端设备向第一目标网络设备发送第一指示信息之后,由第一目标网络设备将第一指示信息转发给源网络设备;还可以将第一指示信息发送至网络侧(比如,E-UTRA)。其中,需要指出的是,当终端设备向目标网络设备发送第一指示信息之后,第一目标网络设备执行的操作可以包括:第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,和/或,第一目标网络设备向网络侧发送第一指示信息。
当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接失败之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,以通知与第一目标网络设备连接失败;或者,可以向网络侧发送第二指示信息。这里需要说明的是,如果和第一目标网络设备连接失败,还可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送 第二指示信息,只是这时由于终端设备和第一目标网络设备之间没有连接,所以不会由终端设备向第一目标网络设备发送第二指示信息。
本实施例提供的另一种场景为双连接架构下的切换处理,当终端设备从源基站切换至目标基站时,第一处理单元52,将第一目标网络设备添加为源网络设备的SN。如图10所示,图中为DC架构中MCG承载(bearer)和MCG split bearer中协议栈的示意图,其中,服务小区可以认为终端设备的主节点MN的协议栈,目标小区则可以理解为第一目标网络设备即SN的协议栈。
终端设备当前可以处于与主节点(MN)进行连接的情况下,当终端设备进行切换时,第一处理单元52,将所述源网络设备的辅节点SN作为主节点MN;其中,所述源网络设备的SN为第一目标网络设备;第一通信单元51,与第一目标网络设备建立连接。
其中,终端设备进行切换可以为终端设备接收到切换指令的时候,此时,将源网络设备的SN,也就是第一目标网络设备直接变换为MN,以实现零延时切换。所述将源网络设备的辅节点SN作为主节点MN时,所述第一处理单元52,将所述源网络设备作为第一目标网络设备的SN。
也就是说,当第一目标网络设备切换成功的时候,可以理解为第一目标网络设备此时作为主节点MN,而源网络设备作为第一目标网络设备的辅节点SN。
这种场景下,如果SN变为MN失败,也就是当与第一目标网络设备建立连接失败时,可以进行RRC重建。具体来说,触发进行RRC连接重建。具体来说,触发进行RRC连接重建,可以为与第一目标网络设备建立连接失败的原因为:主小区群(MCG)承载失败(bearer failure),比如,可以为MCG bearer所承载的数据的RLC ARQ达到预设重传次数门限值时。
或者,如果SN变为MN失败,也就是当与第一目标网络设备建立连接失败时,可以发送第二指示信息。
此时,第二指示信息,可以为直接向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,或者,还可以向网络侧发送第二指示信息。其中,源网络设备在DC架构下,可以理解为切换之前的MN。
进一步地,第一通信单元51,执行以下之一:
当辅小区群失败(SCG failure)时,发送第二指示信息;
当主小区群分叉承载(MCG split bearer)所承载的数据的的自动重传请求(ARQ)超过预设重传次数门限值时,发送第二指示信息;
当辅小区群分叉承载(SCG split bearer)所承载的数据的的自动重传请求(ARQ)超过预设重传次数门限值时,发送第二指示信息。
最后,还需要指出的是,当向第一目标网络设备发起连接的同时,保持源网络设备的连接的时候,本实施例中终端设备还可以保留与源网络设备之间的连接;其中,所述终端设备保留与源网络设备的第一协议栈以及第一相关密钥、并且维护与第一目标网络设备之间的第二协议栈以及第二相关密钥;
其中,所述第一相关密钥与第二相关密钥不同。第二相关密钥可以由第一相关密钥生成。
其中,第一协议栈与第二协议栈可以相同也可以不同,或者至少部分不同,比如,当针对5G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的服务数据应用协议(SDAP,Service Data Adaptation Protocol)、不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体;当针对4G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体。另外,本实施例提供的方案中,为了保证使用不同密钥,第一协议栈以及第二协议栈的PDCP一定是不同的。SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,则可以相同也可以不同。或者,所述第一协议栈以及第二协议栈可以共用SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,或者可以分别拥有SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层。
可见,通过采用上述方案,能够在于第一目标网络设备建立连接的时候,向源网络设备发送第一指示信息和、或第二指示信息,以通知源网络设备与第一目标网络设备的连接是否成功;如此,使得本方案提出更多的为源网络设备发送指示信息的场景,适应于更多的切换场景。

另外,在于第一目标网络设备建立连接之前,本次切换过程中还可以与其他多个目标网络设备曾经尝试建立连接,比如,第四目标网络设备、第五目标网络设备,若与这些其他目标网络设备建立连接失败,则记录所述其他目标网络设备的标识信息;直至终端设备与第一目标网络设备连接成功的时候,可以将第一目标网络设备的标识信息发送至源网络设备的同时,还会将至少一个其他目标网络设备的标识信息发送至源网络设备。
本实施例还可以提供另一种处理场景,就是每次连接失败均向网络侧发送第二指示信息;此时,可以在终端设备与第一目标网络设备连接成功的时候,仅需要向网络侧指示本次连接成功的第一目标网络设备的标识信息携带在第一指示信息中发送给源网络设备,当然,也可以将第一目标网络设备的标识信息以及连接失败的其他目标网络设备的标识信息通过第一指示信息一起发送给源网络设备。
所述第二指示信息中,还包括:与所述第一目标网络设备连接失败的原因,和/或,所述第一目标网络设备的标识信息。
其中,所述与所述第一目标网络设备连接失败的原因,可以包括:失败原因可以是T304超时、T307超时、或随机接入达到最大重传次数;或者,还也可以是其他导致切换的原因。
其中,所述T304以及T307为预设的定时器,T304的触发可以为终端设备接收到RRC连接重配置信息,并且在RRC连接重配置信息中包含有移动控制信息;T307的触发可以为RRC连接重配置信息,并且在RRC连接重配置信息中包含有SCG移动控制信息。另外,T304停止可以为切换成功,T307停止可以为随机接入PSCell;T304、T307超时则可以认为切换失败,并执行相应的处理,比如,RRC重连接或者其他的信息通知流程等,这里不做穷举。
所述随机接入的最大重传次数可以根据实际情况进行设置,比如,可以为10次,当然还可以多于或少于10次,这里不做限定。
进一步地,本实施例在发送第二指示信息的情况下,确定与第一目标网络设备连接失败的情况下,可以直接从配置的至少一个目标网络设备中重新选取新的目标网络设备,比如,直接从至少一个目标网络设备中选取第二目标网络设备,然后与第二目标网络设备发起连接;此时,可以将第二目标网络设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,并重新执行本实施例提供的前述方案,以此类推。还需要指出的是,这里可以设置重选次数门限值,根据实际情况进行设置,比如5次或其他次数,当重新选取目标网络设备的次数达到重选次数门限值的时候,可以确定切换失败,此后,可以执行RRC连接重建立、返回至空闲态等其他状态,这里不做穷举。
本实施例提供的方案,可以应用于终端设备配置一个目标网络设备、且与源网络设备保持连接的场景中,此时执行的方案与前述不同之处在于,在第二指示信息中还可以包括:指示源网络设备为终端设备选择第二目标网络设备进行切换。此时,所述源网络设备还包括:
第二处理单元62,接收到第二指示信息后,基于第二指示信息为终端设备从至少一个目标网络设备中选择第二目标网络设备,并通过第二通信单元61发送至终端设备。
也就是说,源网络设备还可以从多个目标网络设备中为终端设备重新选取一个第二目标网络设备使得终端设备向第二目标网络设备发起接入连接流程;需要理解的是,此时可以将第二目标网络 设备作为新的第一目标网络设备,重新执行前述处理,这里不再赘述。第二目标网络设备与第一目标网络设备不同。另外,源网络设备还可以控制选取次数,也是根据预设的重选次数门限值控制重选次数,比如,可以根据实际情况设置为8次等等,这里不做限定。
基于前述描述,本实施例中,所述第一指示信息或第二指示信息中,还包括:所述终端设备的连接状态。
其中,终端设备的连接状态,可以包括有与源网络设备的连接状态、与第一目标网络设备的连接状态、与第二目标网络设备的连接状态中的至少之一;所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为所述终端设备切换时的目标网络设备;或者,所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为辅助节点SN,所述源网络设备为主节点MN。此处需注意,长期演进(LTE)系统中,SN称为SCG,在新无线(NR)则为SN,指的是一样的概念,就是DC场景下的第二服务网络设备。
具体来说,终端设备的连接状态可以为:终端设备与源网络设备保持连接、与目标网络设备连接失败;终端设备与源网络设备断开连接、与目标网络设备连接成功;终端设备与辅助小区组(SCG)连接失败、SCG改变连接失败。当然,还可以有,在配置了多个SCG场景中,终端设备与一个SCG连接失败;配置了多个目标小区的场景中,终端设备与一个目标小区连接失败。还可能会存在其他的适用场景,只是本实施例中不再进行穷举。
通过无线资源控制(RRC,Radio Resource Control)信令接收第一指示信息、或者、通过非接入层(NAS,Non-access stratum)信令接收网络侧的第一指示信息;
和/或,通过RRC是指信令接收源网络设备发送第二指示信息、或者、通过NAS信令接收网络发送的第二指示信息。
所述接收到第一指示信息,包括以下之一:接收终端设备直接向所述源网络设备发来的第一指示信息;接收第一目标网络设备转发的所述第一指示信息;通过网络侧获取第一指示信息;
所述向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,包括以下之一:接收终端设备直接向所述源网络设备发来的第二指示信息;接收第一目标网络设备发送的所述第二指示信息;通过网络侧获取第二指示信息。
也就是说,当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接成功之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,以通知连接成功;当然,可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第一指示信息,另外,还可以由终端设备向第一目标网络设备发送第一指示信息之后,由第一目标网络设备将第一指示信息转发给源网络设备;还可以将第一指示信息发送至网络侧(比如,E-UTRA)。
当终端设备和第一目标网络设备连接失败之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,以通知与第一目标网络设备连接失败;或者,可以向网络侧发送第二指示信息。这里需要说明的是,如果和第一目标网络设备连接失败,还可以由第一目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第二指示信息,只是这时由于终端设备和第一目标网络设备之间没有连接,所以不会由终端设备向第一目标网络设备发送第二指示信息。
还需要理解的是,当源网络设备接收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息之后,还可以将第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息,发送至网络侧。其发送方式可以为通过NAS信令发送,这里不再穷举。
本实施例提供的另一种场景为双连接架构下的切换处理,当终端设备从源基站切换至目标基站时,源基站可以将第一目标网络设备添加为源网络设备的SN。如图10所示,图中为DC架构中MCG承载(bearer)和MCG split bearer中协议栈的示意图,其中,服务小区可以认为终端设备的主节点MN的协议栈,目标小区则可以理解为第一目标网络设备即SN的协议栈,当从MN切换至SN时,可以将PDCP的数据直接传给目标小区的RLC。
在这种架构下,当切换成功之后,可以将源网络设备,即作为第一目标网络设备的SN的源网络设备删除;当切换失败的时候,可以接收终端设备或第一目标网络设备发来的第二指示信息。
最后,还需要指出的是,当向第一目标网络设备发起连接的同时,保持源网络设备的连接的时候,本实施例中终端设备还可以保留与源网络设备之间的连接;其中,所述终端设备保留与源网络设备的第一协议栈以及第一相关密钥、并且维护与第一目标网络设备之间的第二协议栈以及第二相关密钥;
其中,所述第一相关密钥与第二相关密钥不同。第二相关密钥可以由第一相关密钥生成。
其中,第一协议栈与第二协议栈可以相同也可以不同,或者至少部分不同,比如,当针对5G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的服务数据应用协议(SDAP,Service Data Adaptation Protocol)、不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体;当针对4G系统的时候,可以为终端设备与源网络设备、以及终端设备与第一目标网络设备之间维护不同的分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP,Packet Data Convergence Protocol)、不同的无线链路层控制协议(RLC,Radio Link Control)、不同的媒体访问控制(MAC)实体、不同的低层(Low layer)实体。另外,本实施例提供的方案中,为了保证使用不同密钥,第一协议栈以及第二协议栈的PDCP一定是不同的。SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,则可以相同也可以不同。或者,所述第一协议栈以及第二协议栈可以共用SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层中至少之一,或者可以分别拥有SDAP、RLC、MAC以及物理层。
可见,通过采用上述方案,能够在与第一目标网络设备建立连接的时候,向源网络设备发送第一指示信息和、或第二指示信息,以通知源网络设备与第一目标网络设备的连接是否成功;如此, 使得本方案提出更多的为源网络设备发送指示信息的场景,适应于更多的切换场景。

基于前述描述,本实施例中,所述第一指示信息或第二指示信息中,还包括:所述终端设备的连接状态。
其中,终端设备的连接状态,可以包括有与源网络设备的连接状态、与第一目标网络设备的连接状态、与第二目标网络设备的连接状态中的至少之一;所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为所述终端设备切换时的目标网络设备;或者,所述第一目标网络设备以及第二目标网络设备为辅助节点SN,所述源网络设备为主节点MN。此处需注意,长期演进(LTE)系统中,SN称为SCG,在新无线(NR)则为SN,指的是一样的概念,就是DC场景下的第二服务网络设备。
具体来说,终端设备的连接状态可以为:终端设备与源网络设备保持连接、与目标网络设备连接失败;终端设备与源网络设备断开连接、与目标网络设备连接成功;终端设备与辅助小区组(SCG)连接失败、SCG改变连接失败。当然,还可以有,在配置了多个SCG场景中,终端设备与一个SCG连接失败;配置了多个目标小区的场景中,终端设备与一个目标小区连接失败。还可能会存在其他的适用场景,只是本实施例中不再进行穷举。
关于接收第一指示信息以及发送第二指示信息的方式进行描述。具体的,第三通信单元,通过NAS信令将第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息发送至网络侧;或,通过RRC信令将所述第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息发送至源基站。
所述第三通信单元,还包括以下之一:
接收终端设备直接发来的第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息;通过网络侧获取第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息。
也就是说,当终端设备和目标网络设备连接成功之后,可以由终端设备自己直接向第一目标网络设备发送第一指示信息,然后可以由第一目标网络设备将第一指示信息转发给源网络设备;还可以将第一指示信息发送至网络侧(比如,E-UTRA)。
另外,如果当终端设备和目标网络设备建立连接失败的时候,目标网络设备也可以确定自身是否与终端设备连接成功,此时,可以将第二指示信息发送至网络侧、或者、将第二指示信息发送至源基站。
关于第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息中,还可以包括切换期间一些测量信息;当网络侧或源基站收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息之后,可以用于后续网络优化。第二指示信息中的切换失败过程中的测量信息,以用于网络侧进行后续进行网络优化。
本实施例提供的另一种场景为双连接架构下的切换处理,当终端设备从源基站切换至目标基站时,源基站可以将第一目标网络设备添加为源网络设备的SN。如图10所示,图中为DC架构中MCG承载(bearer)和MCG split bearer中协议栈的示意图,其中,服务小区可以认为终端设备的主节点MN的协议栈,目标小区则可以理解为第一目标网络设备即SN的协议栈,当从MN切换至SN时,可以将PDCP的数据直接传给目标小区的RLC。
在这种架构下,当切换成功之后,可以将源网络设备,即作为第一目标网络设备的SN的源网络设备删除;当切换失败的时候,第一目标网络设备可以向源网络设备和/或网络侧发送第二指示信息。
可见,通过采用上述方案,能够在于第一目标网络设备建立连接的时候,向源网络设备发送第一指示信息和、或第二指示信息,以通知源网络设备与第一目标网络设备的连接是否成功;如此,使得本方案提出更多的为源网络设备发送指示信息的场景,适应于更多的切换场景。
