具体实施方式
为了便于理解,示例性的给出了与本申请相关概念的说明以供参考,如下所示:
1)终端设备,是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。具体可以是用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、或移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)等。例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前,一些终端的举例为:手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等。比如,所述终端设备可为工业控制中的操作臂终端。
2)网络设备,是指无线网络中的设备,所述网络设备可为第一网络设备,或第二网络设备。所述第一网络设备是网络中将终端设备接入到无线网络的设备。所述第一网络设备为无线接入网中的节点,又可以称为基站,还可以称为无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)节点(或设备)。目前,一些网络设备的举例为:gNB、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved  NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU),或WiFi接入点(access point,AP)等。所述第二网络设备可但不限于为控制器,所述控制器可控制终端设备的操作。比如,在工业控制中,控制器为可编程逻辑控制器(programmable logic controller,PLC),终端设备为操作臂,PLC可控制操作臂的动作。
3)至少一个,是指一个或多个,所述多个指两个或两个以上。
4)a、b、或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a;b;c;a和b;a和c;b和c;或a、b和c。其中,a、b、c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
需要理解的是,在本申请的描述中,“第一”、“第二”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整的描述。
在未来的工业生产中,如图1所示,一种可能的组网模式为:控制器发送下行信息至基站,基站转发所述下行信息至终端设备,由终端设备完成相应的动作,比如,控制器可为可编程控制器,终端设备可为操作臂。可以理解的是,图1所示的场景,仅为本申请实施例应用的一示例,并不作为对本申请实施例的限定,对于端到端时延小于数据产生周期的业务,或者,传输块没有重排需求的业务,均可应用本申请实施例所提供的方法。
其中,在第五代移动通信系统中,如图2所示,在用户面,基站与终端设备间的无线协议栈,从上至下,依次包括:服务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层。
在图1所示的组网模式中,如果基站与终端设备间,沿用上述图2所示的无线协议栈。基站侧的数据处理过程为:基站接收控制器发送的下行信息,对下行信息,从上至下,依次进行SDAP层、PDCP层、RLC层和MAC层的封装,形成传输块(transport block,TB),经由PHY层传输。终端设备在PHY层接收到TB后,从下至上,依次经过MAC层、RLC层、PDCP层和SDAP层的解封装,获得下行信息,且向上传输给应用层(application layer,APP layer),其中,应用层是终端设备与控制器间的对等层。
通过上述可以看出,如果在图1所示的组网模式中,基站与终端设备间沿用上述图2所述的无线协议栈,对数据的处理过程较复杂,处理速度较慢,难以满足工业生产对速度的要求。
如图3所示,本申请提供一种无线协议栈,该无线协议栈包括第一无线协议栈和第二无线协议栈,所述第一无线协议栈用于第一网络设备与第二网络设备间的通信,所述第二无线协议栈用于第二网络设备与终端设备间的通信,对第一无线协议层本申请实施例并不作限定。第二无线协议栈包括2层,分别为层1和层2,层1对应PHY层,层2至少包括MAC层,但不限于还包括SDAP、PDCP或RLC层中的至少一个。如果将图2所示的第二无线协议栈,应用于终端设备与基站间的通信,可简化基站与终端设备间的数据处理过程,加快处理速度,满足工业生产对速度的要求。
需要说明的是,针对上述图3所示的第二无线协议栈的一种示例可为:层1包括PHY层,层2包括SDAP层、PDCP层和RLC层。可以看出,此时图3所示的第二无线协议栈与图2所示的无线协议栈已完全相同。此时,本申请的改进之处为,简化第二无线协议栈 中每层的操作过程,与图2所示的无线协议栈相比,同样可达到简化数据处理,加快处理速度的要求。比如,在图2的协议栈中,PDCP层的封装可包括加密、头压缩、增加PDCP序列号(serial number,SN)以及完整性保护等操作。在图3所示的第二无线协议栈中,PDCP层的封装过程可不包括:增加PDCP SN等操作。也就是说,在本申请实施例中,针对图3所示的第二无线协议栈,与图2所示的无线协议栈相比,不但可减少第二无线协议栈所包括层的数量,还可简化每层封装操作的处理过程。
如图4所示,本申请提供一种通信方法的流程,该流程中的第一网络设备可为上述图1中的控制器,第二网络设备可为上述图1中的基站,终端设备可为上述图1所示的终端设备。该通信方法可应用于上行通信过程中,也可应用于下行通信过程中,本申请实施例中,以下行通信过程为例,进行说明。可以理解的是,在本申请实施例中,网络设备的功能也可以通过应用于网络设备的芯片来实现,终端设备的功能也可以通过应用于终端设备的芯片来实现。该流程具体包括:
S401.第一网络设备发送第一信息,所述第一信息中包括N个数据包,所述N为正整数。
S402.第二网络设备接收第一信息。
所述N个数据包具体为应用层的数据包,第一网络设备可采用图3所示的第一无线协议栈,对N个数据包进行封装,获得第一信息,经有线或无线方式,将第一信息发送至第二网络设备。相应的,第二网络设备可采用图3所示的第一无线协议栈,对第一信息进行解封装,获得N个数据包。
S403.第二网络设备根据所述N个数据包,生成至少一个传输块。其中,所述传输块是MAC层生成的,所述传输块中不包括PDCP SN。
S404.第二网络设备发送所述至少一个传输块。
其中,第二网络设备可自行触发至少一个传输块的发送,也可受终端设备的触发至少一个传输块的发送。比如,终端设备可向第一网络设备发送第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述至少一个传输块的发送。第一网络设备可在接收到终端设备发送的第二指示信息时,向所述终端设备发送所述至少一个传输块。
S405.终端设备接收所述至少一个传输块。
具体的,第二网络设备可采用图3所示的第二无线协议栈,对N个数据包进行封装,生成至少一个传输块,经空口传输至终端设备。
一示例中,图3所示的第二无线协议栈的层2中仅包括MAC层。第二网络设备在层2可仅对N个数据包进行MAC层的封装,获得至少一个传输块,至少一个传输块经PHY层传输至终端设备。具体的,所述传输块的数量为一个,所述一个传输块中包括N个数据包。或者,所述传输块的数量为M个,M为大于或等于2的整数,M个传输块中包括上述N个数据包,且每个传输块中所包括的数据包并不重叠。比如,N取值为4,4个数据包分别为数据包0、数据包1、数据包2和数据包3。M取值为2,2个传输块分别为传输块0和传输块1,所述传输块0中可包括数据包0和数据包1,传输块1中可包知数据包2和数据包3。
一示例中,图3所示的第二无线栈议栈的层2中仅包括PDCP层和MAC层,第二网络设备在层2可仅对N个数据包进行PDCP层和MAC层的封装,获得至少一个传输块,至少一个传输块经PHY层传输至终端设备。所述传输块的数量可为一个或M个。关于每 个传输块所包括数据包的数量,可参见上述示例的介绍。
其中,MAC层的封装过程,可包括组包、级联或增加MAC子头等操作中的至少一个。PDCP层的封装过程,可包括头压缩、加密或完整性保护等操作中的至少一个,比如本申请实施例中,PDCP层可仅进行头压缩的操作,也可仅进行加密的操作,也可仅进行完整性保护的操作,也可同时进行头压缩和加密的操作。
S406.终端设备对所述至少一个传输块进行处理,获得N个数据包。
示例的,如果上述第一网络设备在图3所示的第二无线协议栈的层2中仅进行MAC层的封装,相应的,终端设备对至少一个传输块仅进行MAC层的解封装,获得N个数据包。
示例的,如果上述第一网络设备在图3所示的第二无线协议栈的层2仅进行MAC层和PDCP层的封装,相应的,终端设备对至少一个传输块仅进MAC层和PDCP层的解封装。
可选的,上述传输块中可包括传输块所包括的数据包的大小信息,比如,对于上述一个传输块包括N个数据包的情况,所述一个传输块中还可包括N个数据包中每个数据包的大小信息。对于上述M个传输块包括N个数据包的情况,针对第i个传输块,所述i为大于或等于1,小于或等于M的整数,所述第i个传输块中包括X个数据包,所述X个数据包为N个数据包的一部分数据包,第i个传输块中还包括X个数据包中每个数据包的大小信息。可替代的,上述传输块中所包括的数据包的大小信息,还可替换为数据包的大小索引信息。由于应用层的数据包的尺寸只有几种有限的取值,可以将有限的数据包尺寸进行编号,用索引值代表数据包的尺寸,从而可以减少传输块的负荷。比如,应用层的数据包存在三种尺寸,可将第一尺寸的数据包用00表示,第二尺寸的数据包用01,第三尺寸的数据包用10表示等。
可选的,上述传输块中可不包括数据包的大小信息,也不包括数据包大小的索引信息。第二网络设备可采用向终端设备发送第一指示信息的方式,通知终端设备每个数据包的大小,所述第一指示信息用于指示N个数据包中每个数据包的大小。
可以理解的是,上述传输块中数据包的大小,是指经图2所示的第二无线协议栈的层2处理后的数据包大小。比如,如图5、图7或图8所示,每个数据包包括头(header)部分和数据(data)部分。如果在层2的PDCP层进行头压缩操作,所述数据包的大小是指经头压缩后的数据包尺寸,否则数据包的大小是指未经头压缩后的数据包尺寸。如果在层2的MAC层进行完整性保护,所述数据包中添加MAC完整性保护(MAC,integration protection,I,MAC-I)信息,所以数据包的大小是指数据包中包括MAC-I后的尺寸,否则,数据包的大小是指数据包中未包括MAC-I的尺寸。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,在上述传输块中添加数据包的大小信息,或大小索引信息,或发送第一指示信息,是为了通知接收端传输块中每个数据包的大小,以便接收端在传输块中读取每个数据包。因此,在本申请实施例中,针对每个传输块中包括两个或以上数据包的情况,每个传输块中所包括的最后一个数据包可以不添加数据包大小信息,或数据包的大小索引信息。比如,一个传输块中包括两个数据包,分别为第一数据包和第二数据包,可在传输块中添加第一个数包的大小信息,或大小索引信息,在传输块中不添加第二个数据包的大小信息,或大小索引信息。针对传输块中包括一个数据包的情况,可在该传输块中不添加该数据包的大小信息,或大小索引信息。
在本申请实施例中,针对上述N个数据包分配至M个传输块进行传输的情况,M个传输块中的每个传输块中还包括传输块标识信息,传输块标识信息可用于标识M个传输块的先后传输顺序。所述传输块标识信息可为TB SN,也可以混合自动请求重传(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)进程ID。比如,在本申请实施例中,编号为0的传输块通过HARQ进程0传输,编号为1的传输块通过HARQ进程1传输,依次类推,编号为M-1的传输块通过HARQ进程M-1传输,那么,可直接利用HARQ进行标识,标识不同传输块的先后传输顺序。
可替代性的,在本申请实施例中,M个传输块中的每个传输块可不包括传输块标识信息,而第二网络设备可采用以下方式,通知终端设备不同传输块的选后顺序,采用不同的HARQ进程,分别向终端设备发送所述M个传输块。
针对以上介绍,在本申请下述实施例中,以图3所示的层2包括PDCP层和MAC层,PDCP层进行头压缩、加密和完整性保护等操作,MAC层进行复用、组包等操作,将N个数据包放在同一个传输块TB内,N取值为3进行举例说明。
如图5所示,一簇(cluster)数据中包括三个数据包,分别为数据包0、数据包1和数据包2,其中,每个数据包包括头(header)部分和数据(data)部分。在本申请实施例中,第二网络设备(比如,基站)可首先对上述三个数据包进行PDCP层的头压缩操作,然后进行PDCP层的加密和完整性保护等操作,最后进行MAC层的组包操作,将加密后上述三个数据包,放入一个TB中。其中,该TB中还包括上述三个数据包中每个数据包的大小(legnth)信息,所述数据包的大小信息可具体指每个数据包所占的比特数。关于数据包的大小,可具体参见上述图4中的记载,在此不再说明。
针对上述图5所示的数据处理过程,可具体应用于周期性业务的处理,具体为:
对于周期性的业务,其数据模型的参数可如表1所示,可以看出,数据传输的端到端时延要求低于数据的产生周期,也即在任一时刻,在空口传输的数据包都来自同一簇数据。其中,在表1中,可具体用传输时延(transfer interval)表示数据的产生周期。
Figure PCTCN2019114419-appb-000001
表1
这就意味着,在任一时刻,空口中传输的数据包都来自同一簇数据。可以看出,不同簇的数据之间,没有重排序需求,同一簇的数据包,如果通过同一个TB传输,也不存在重排序需求,所以,可以将一簇数据包内的所有数据,通过一个TB传输,而不必增加传输块的编号(比如,该传输块的编号可以为下述TB SN或HARQ进程ID)。
比如,如图6所示,第二网络设备(比如,基站)在时间t1,接收第一簇数据,第一簇数据中包括数据包1、数据包2以及数据包3。第一簇数据可在时间t2到达终端设备(比如,操作臂)。第二网络设备在时间t3,接收第二簇数据,第二簇数据中包括数据包4、数据包5以及数据包6。上述第一簇数据和第二簇数据可为第一网络设备(比如,PLC控制器)产生的,且发送给上述第一网络设备的。可以看出,在第一簇数据到达终端设备后,才会产生第二簇数据,也即在t1至t2间的时间段内,在空口中传输的仅有第一簇数据。因此,如果将一簇数据放到同一个TB包内传输,无需对TB包进行排序。
在本申请下述实施例中,以图3所示的层2包括PDCP层和MAC层,PDCP层进行头压缩、加密和完整性保护等操作,MAC层进行组包操作,将N个数据包放在M个传输块TB内,N取值为3,M取值为2进行举例说明。
如图7所示,一簇数据中包括三个数据包,分别为数据包0、数据包1和数据包2,其中,每个数据包包括头(header)部分和数据(data)部分。其中,第二网络设备(比如基站)可首先对上述3个数据包,进行PDCP层的头压缩,然后进行PDCP层的加密,最后进行MAC层的组包。在本申请实施例中,可将上述三个数据包放到两个传输块TB内,分别为TB1、TB2,TB1中包括数据包0和数据包1,TB2中包括数据包2。其中,TB1中还包括数据包0和数据包1的大小(legnth)信息,TB2中还包括数据包2的大小信息。可选的,TB1中还包括TB1的TB SN,TB2中还包括TB2的TB SN,比如,TB1的TB SN的取值可为0,TB2的TB SN的取值可为1。如果终端设备先收到TB SN=0的TB1,终端 设备可对TB1进行MAC层和PDCP层的解封装,且将解封装后的数据包递交上层(比如,应用层)。如果终端设备先收到TB SN=1的TB2,终端设备可等待TB SN=0的TB1,如果在预设时间(所述预设时间可具体指端到端时延,比如图6所示的t2)内,接收到TB SN=0的TB1,终端设备可分别对TB SN=0的TB1和TB SN=1的TB2进行PDCP层和MAC的解封装,且将解封装后的数据包依次递交至上层。如果在预设时间内,未接收到TB SN=0的TB1,终端设备可对TB SN=1的TB 2进行PDCP层和MAC层的解封装,且将解封装后的数据包递交至上层。
在图7所示的实施例中,以将一簇数据分成两个TB传输为例进行说明,并不作为对本申请实施例的限定。比如,在本申请实施例中,可将一簇数据分为大于或等于2的任意个TB进行传输。实际上,一簇数据可划分为几个TB进行传输,是可以配置的。而TB SN的长度,与TB的数量相关。比如,TB的数量为2,TB SN只需1比特,TB的数量为4,TB SN需要2比特,TB的数量为8,TB SN需要3比特。
需要说明的是,在图7所示的实施例中,所述TB SN可用HARQ进程ID替代,关于如何用HARQ进程ID替代,可参见上述记载,在此不再说明。
在图7所示的实施例中,将一簇数据放在多个TB内传输,与将一簇数据放在一个TB内传输相比,具有以下优点:
第一:如果将一簇数据放在一个TB内传输,如果该TB传输失败,那么一簇数据将全部丢失。
第二:对于工业控制类型的业务,终端设备侧包括存活时间(survival time)参数,关于存活时间参数可参见表1中的记载。所述存活时间参数,表示终端设备的应用层在没有收到数据的情况下,可保持在工作状态的时间,一旦超过该时间,终端设备的应用层将进入安全停机状态,停止工作。其中,在工业生产中,为了防止终端设备进入安全停机状态,需保证终端设备在存活时间段内可接收到数据包。如果将一簇数据放在一个TB内传输,如果该TB丢失,终端设备可能会出现超过存活时间,接收不到TB的情况。而在图7所述的实施例中,将一簇数据分成多个TB传输,只有所有TB都传输失败,才会导致终端设备进入安全停机状态,减小终端设备进入安全停机状态的概率。
在本申请下述实施例中,以图3所示的层2包括PDCP层和MAC层,PDCP层进行头压缩和加密操作,MAC层进行组包操作,将N个数据包放在同一个传输块TB内,N取值为3,且传输块TB内不包括数据包的大小信息,第二网络设备(比如基站)对数据包的处理过程,可参见图8所示。
由于在工业控制中的数据模型中,每个数据包的尺寸是固定的,比如可参见上述表1所示,数据包的大小可是200Bytes。针对上述数据结构,可以对TB的数据结构进一步简化,取消数据包头中的长度指示字段,第二网络设备(比如基站)可将数据包的大小通过配置消息通知终端设备。终端设备在收到所述配置消息后,即可得知每个数据包的大小,进而可根据数据包的大小对收到的TB进行读取。针对数据包的大小,可具体参见上述图4中的记载,在此不再说明。
可见,在本申请实施例中,将数据包的大小通过配置信息通知终端设备,取消TB包头中的长度指示字段,可减少TB包头的负荷。
针对上述图4实施例中,由终端设备触发第二网络设备发送至少一个传输块的情况,本申请提供下述应用场景:
第二网络设备可通过配置消息为终端设备配置一门限,该门限小于终端设备的存活时间。终端设备侧可设置一定时器,如果当定时器的定时时长超过上述门限,还未收到传输块时,即发送指示信息至第二网络设备,比如所述指示信息可为上述图4所示实施例中的第二指示信息。第二网络设备在接收到该指示信息后,可发送传输块。可选的,第二网络设备可采用正常配置发送传输块,也可采用更加鲁棒的方式发送传输块,比如,加大传输块的传输功率等。终端设备侧在接收到传输块时,即重启定时器。采用上述方式,可防止终端设备进入安全停机状态。
如图9所示,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法的流程,该流程中的网络设备可对应于上述图1中的基站,终端设备可对应于上述图1所示的终端设备。该流程可为:
S901.网络设备发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端设备所使用无线网络临时标识(radio network tempory identity,RNTI)的长度。
在无线通信系统中,RNTI用于临时标识终端设备,在第五代移动通信系统中,RNTI的长度是16比特,最多可以表示65536个终端。上述第一指示信息所指示的RNTI的长度可小于16比特,比如,所述第一指示信息所指示的RNTI的长度可为4比特。
S902.终端设备接收第一指示信息。
S903.终端设备发送随机接入前导码。
S904.网络设备接收随机接入前导码。
S905.网络设备发送随机接入响应(random access response,RAR)消息。
S906.终端设备接收RAR消息。
S907.终端设备根据第一指示信息以及RAR消息中的RNTI,确定所述终端设备所使用的RNTI。
其中,RAR消息中可包括RNTI,RNTI可为临时小区无线网络标识(temporary,cell RNTI,C-RNTI)。在本申请实施例中,对RAR消息的格式并不作限定。比如,如图10所示,RAR消息中可包括7个字段,依次为Oct1至Oct7。其中,Oct1中包括3个预留(reserved,R)字段和一个定时提前命令(timing advance command)字段。Oct2包括定时提前命令和上行授权(uplink grant,UL Grant)字段。Oct3、Oct4和Oct5字段中包括UL Grant字段。Oct6和Oct7中包括C-RNTI字段。或者,所述RAR消息中也可仅包括Oct1至Oct6字段,不包括Oct7字段。或者,所述RAR消息中的UL grant、Timing Advance Command等字段的长度也是可变的,只要网络设备预先配置,且通知终端设备即可。
具体的,终端设备可根据第一指示信息,在RAR消息的目标位置取相应长度的RNTI,作为终端设备自己所使用的RNTI。所述目标位置可通过协议规定,或者,网络设备通过配置消息通知终端设备。比如,第一指示信息所指示的RNTI的长度为4比特,如图10所示,终端设备可在Oct6字段中的Temporary C-RNTI中取前4比特数据(可参见图10中用斜线填充的部分),作为终端设备自己所使用的RNTI。相应的,Oct6字段中的前四比特位置即为上述目标位置。在图10所示的实施例中,是以取Temporary C-RNTI中的前四比特作为终端设备使用的RNTI,进行举例说明的,并不作为对本申请实施例的限定。比如,所述终端设备可在上述图10的Oct6中Temporary C-RNTI的任意位置,取任意比特,作为终端设备的RNTI,所述位置和比特数可由网络设备预先配置。
由于在实际通信过程中,在下行控制信息(down control information,DCI)中会携带终端设备的RNTI,采用本申请的方案,终端设备的RNTI会更短,DCI所占的开销会较小, DCI的传输更加鲁棒。
针对上述图9所示的流程,本申请提供一种应用场景,所述应用场景并不作为对本申请的限定,在该应用场景中“以图9中的网络设备为工业控制用基站,终端设备为UE”进行举例说明:在工业控制场景中,工业控制用基站在上电后,可通过广播消息将本小区所支持的RNTI的长度通知各UE,UE获得该信息后,可根据上述广播消息所通知的RNTI长度,在RAR消息中取出终端设备所使用的RNTI具体值,用于后续通信。比如,如图10所示,如果基站通知RNTI的长度为4比特,UE在接收到RAR消息后,可在RAR消息的Temporary C-RNTI中取出4比特,作为终端设备自己使用的RNTI,终端设备所取出的4比特RNTI,具体参见图10所示的斜线填充部分。
针对上述图9所示的流程,本申请提供另一种应用场景,所述应用场景并不作为对本请的限定,在该应用场景中“以图9中的网络设备为工业控制用基站,终端设备为操作臂”进行举例说明:
实际应用中,同一小区内,工业控制用基站既服务于工业控制的操作臂,又服务于普通UE。工业控制用基站可为操作臂分配第一长度的RNTI,为普通UE分配第二长度的RNTI,第一长度与第二长度相同,或不同。比如,第一长度为4比特,第二长度为16比特。操作臂和普通UE收到后,可根据自己的类型,选择随机接入的时频资源及随机接入码,发起随机接入流程。工业控制用基站发送第一随机接入响应至操作臂,操作臂在第一随机接入响应消息中截取第一长度的RNTI,作为操作臂的RNTI。工业控制用基站发送第二随机接入响应至普通UE,普通UE在第二随机接入响应中截取第二长度的RNTI,作为普通UE的RNTI。其中,第一随机接入响应与第二随机接入响应的类型可相同,也可不同。
可选的,工业控制用基站还可为操作臂分配第三长度的UL grant,为普通UE分配第四长度的UL grant,第三长度与第四长度相同,或不同。比如,第三长度为16比特,第四长度为25比特。
如图11所示,本申请还提供一种通信方法的流程,流程中以“基站为普通UE和操作臂分配不同长度的RNTI和UL grant,且为普通UE和操作臂分配不同类型的随机接入响应为例”,进行说明:
S111.基站发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示操作臂的RNTI长度,第二指示信息用于指示操作臂UL grant的长度。
S112.操作臂接收第一指示信息和第二指示信息。
S113.操作臂发送随机接入前导码。
S114.基站发送第三指示信息和第四指示信息,所述第三指示信息用于指示普通UE的RNTI长度,第四指示信息用于指示普通UE的UL grant的长度。
S115.普通UE接收第三指示信息和第四指示信息。
S116.普通UE发送随机接入前导码。
S117.基站根据随机接入前导码的位置或类型,发送第一类型的RAR消息和第二类型的RAR消息。
S118.操作臂接收第一类型的RAR消息。
S119.普通UE接收第二类型的RAR消息。
在本申请实施例中,由于在下行控制信息DCI会携带操作臂或普通UE的RNTI,采用本申请实施例中的方法,使得操作臂或普通UE均使用更短的RNTI,减少DCI的尺寸, 增加传输的鲁棒性。
需要说明的是,在图11所示的实施例中,并不限定S111至S119的先后执行顺序。比如,S114可位于S111至S113的前面,也可位于S111至S113的后面。
在第五代移动通信系统中,HARQ进程的数量恒定为8。由于工业控制中的业务需求,同时在途的数据包数量减少,所以,HARQ进程的数量也可以降低,这样,可以减小DCI尺寸,增加鲁棒性。
基于以上,如图12所示,本申请提供一种通信方法的流程,该流程可减少HARQ进程的数量,该流程中的网络设备可对应于上述图1中的基站,终端设备可对应于上述图1中的终端设备。该流程可为:
S120.网络设备确定第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示终端设备所使用HARQ进程的数量,或者,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述HARQ进程的标识所占用的比特数。
其中,网络设备可采用广播信令,或预设信令,比如RRC信令,发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息所指示的HARQ进程数量可小于终端设备目前所采用的HARQ进程数量。比如,终端设备目前支持8个HARQ进程,那么,第一指示信息所指示的HARQ进程数量可小于8。
S121.网络设备发送所述第一指示信息。
S122.终端设备接收第一指示信息。
S123.终端设备根据所述第一指示信息,确定所述终端设备所使用HARQ进程的数量。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备所使用的HARQ进程ID的尺寸更小,DCI更鲁棒。
需要说明的,本申请实施例中,图4、图9和图12所示的方案,可单独使用,也可结合使用。比如,终端设备可在随机接入过程中,使用图9所示的方案,随机接入过程结束,在后续数据传输过程中,使用图4所示的方案。

与上构思相同,如图15所示,本申请还提供一种网络设备,比如,基站的结构示意图。该基站可应用于上述图1所示通信系统的场景中,该基站可以为上述图4、图9、图11或图12所示流程中的网络设备。
具体的,基站1500可包括一个或多个射频单元,如远端射频单元(remote radio unit,RRU)1501和一个或多个基带单元(baseband unit,BBU)(也可称为数字单元,digital unit,DU)1502。该RRU1501可以为收发单元、收发机、收发电路、或者收发器等等,其可以包括至少一个天线15011和射频单元15012。该RRU1501部分可以用于射频信号的收发以及射频信号与基带信号的转换,例如接收来自第二网络设备的第一信息,或向终端设备发送至 少于一个传输块等。该BBU1502部分可以用于基带处理,对基站进行控制等。该RRU1501和BBU1502可以是物理上设置在一起,也可以物理上分离设置的,即分布式基站。
