背景技术
为了应对未来爆炸性的移动数据流量增长、海量移动通信的设备连接、不断涌现的各类新业务和应用场景，新的移动通信系统应运而生。未来的移动通信系统定义了三大类应用场景：增强型移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband，eMBB)、高可靠低时延通信(ultra reliable and low latency communications，URLLC)以及海量机器类通信(massive machine type communications，mMTC)。其中，mMTC其特点是支持大量机器类型的通信，在mMTC场景下，无线连接的个数最高可能达到数百万，而无线节点每次发送的信息量一般比较小，节点的功耗比较低，并且要能支持很大的通信范围，其应用覆盖智能城市、公共事业、后勤保障等场景。
但是，在某些特定的场景下，例如沙漠、森林、海洋、山区等偏远地区，为了保证部署的MTC设备接入网络，需要部署大量接入点、铺设大量光纤网络等，其建设成本以及后期的维护成本高昂。

具体实施方式
为了便于理解本申请的实施例，首先对本申请实施例涉及到的相关概念进行如下简单介绍：
mMTC是5G支持的三大典型业务之一，典型的mMTC业务有：智能电网配电自动化、智慧城市等，主要特点是联网设备数量巨大、传输数据量较小、数据对传输时延不敏感。
MTC设备为支持mMTC业务的设备，MTC设备的数据发送间隔较长，例如每天、每月甚至每年发送一次，数据包较小，大多为几比特到几百比特之间。MTC设备可以是无线设备也可以是有线设备，无线设备可以是指一种具有无线收发功能的设备，可以部署在陆地 上，包括室内或室外、手持或车载；也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等)；还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。MTC设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(Virtual Reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(Augmented Reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线设备、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线设备等等，在此不作限定。
空基平台为空中基站，在多个区域间进行无线电信号的转发。
图1为本申请实施例的应用场景图，如图1所示，第一区域为MTC设备所在的区域，第二区域为蜂窝网络覆盖区域，其中第一区域中的MTC设备与第二区域中的通信设备无法直接通信，或者第一区域与第二区域之间的通信信号质量较弱。即，第一区域的至少一部分位于第二区域的网络覆盖范围之外。
可选的，第一区域可以是沙漠、森林、海洋、山区等网络覆盖不完善的区域，或者为网络受到破坏的受灾区域。
第二区域的通信系统包括但不限于，2G，3G，4G，5G通信系统或下一代(next generation)通信系统，例如全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobil ecommunications，GSM)，码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)系统，时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access，TDMA)系统，宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access Wireless，WCDMA)，频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Addressing，FDMA)系统，正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access，OFDMA)系统，单载波FDMA(SC-FDMA)系统，通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service，GPRS)系统，长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)系统，新空口(new radio，NR)通信系统等等。
上述第二区域中的通信设备包括终端设备和/或网络设备，其中，终端设备可以是无线终端设备也可以是有线终端设备，无线终端设备可以是指一种具有无线收发功能的终端设备，可以部署在陆地上，包括室内或室外、手持或车载终端；也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等)；还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。终端设备可以是手机、平板电脑、带无线收发功能的电脑、VR终端设备、AR终端设备、工业控制中的无线设备、无人驾驶中的无线设备、远程医疗中的无线终端设备、智能电网中的无线终端设备、运输安全中的无线终端设备、智慧城市中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭中的无线终端设备等等，在此不作限定。

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描述。其中，在本申请的描述中，除非另有说明，“多个”是指两个或多于两个。
另外，为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案，在本申请的实施例中，采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定，并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。
图2为本申请实施例提供的通信方法的流程图，本申请实施例在第一区域与第二区域之间设置空基平台，空基平台对第一区域与第二区域之间的数据进行转发。如图2所述，本申请实施例的方法包括：
S101、空基平台根据预设时间规则，与位于第一区域MTC设备建立通讯连接。
本申请实施例的第一区域中可以包括一个或多个MTC设备，空基平台可以与第一区域中的每个MTC设备进行通讯连接；或者，空基平台与第一区域中的部分MTC设备进行通讯连接；或者，空基平台与第一区域中的一个MTC设备1建立通讯连接，第一区域内的其他MTC设备与该MTC设备1建立通讯连接。
可选的，本申请实施例中可以在第一区域内布置一个空基平台，该空基平台根据预设时间规则与该第一区域内的一个或多个MTC设备通信连接。
可选的，本申请实施例中还可以在第一区域内布置多个空基平台，每个空基平台负责与第一区域的一部分范围内的MTC设备通信连接。例如，在第一区域布置3个空基平台，第一区域包括3个子区域，3个空基平台根据预设时间规则，同时分别与3个子区域内的MTC设备通信连接。具体是，第一空基平台根据预设实际规则与第一子区域内的MTC设备通信连接，第二空基平台根据预设实际规则与第二子区域内的MTC设备通信连接，第三空基平台根据预设实际规则与第三子区域内的MTC设备通信连接。
可选的，为了提高数据传输的可靠性，第一区域和第二区域可以通过多个空基平台进行数据转发，例如，对于一个MTC设备，有两个空基平台与该MTC设备建立通讯连接，这样，当其中一个空基平台发生故障时，另一个空基平台可以实现该MTC设备与通信设备之间的数据转发，进而提高了数据转发的可靠性。
在一种实现方式下，如图3所示，空基平台可以在空中固定设置，在第一区域与第二区域之间不移动，例如，空基平台为固定设置在空中的气球，该气球根据预设时间规则，与第一区域中的MTC设备建立通讯连接。
在另一种实现方式下，如图4所示，空基平台可以在第一区域与第二区域之间移动，需要说明的是，图4作为一种示例，以空基平台为无人机为例示出，但是，本申请实施例的空基平台不限于无人机，还可以是气球、滑翔机、飞艇、直升机、卫星等可以在第一区域与第二区域之间移动的飞行设备。
当空基平台为飞行设备时，该空基平台具有停放基地，当空基平台不进行第一区域与第二区域之间的数据转发时，该空基平台可以停放在该停放基地中。可选的，该停放基地可以位于第一区域，或者位于第二区域，可选的，该停放基地还可以位于第一区域和第二区域之外的区域，本申请实施例对停放基站的具体设置位置不做限制，具体根据实际需要确定。
在实际使用时，若上述停放基地位于第一区域，即空基平台停放在第一区域时，空基 平台根据预设时间规则，与第一区域中的至少一个MTC设备建立通讯连接。若上述停放基地位于第一区域之外的区域，即空基平台停放在第一区域之外的区域，空基平台根据预设时间规则，从停放基地起飞，移动至第一区域，与第一区域内的至少一个MTC设备建立通讯连接。
上述预设时间规则包括：预设时间周期、所述MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔、所述通信设备接收第一信息的时间间隔中的任意一项。
例如，预设时间规则为预设时间周期，假设该预设时间周期为24小时，这样，空基平台每隔24小时与MTC设备建立一次通讯连接。
再例如，预设时间规则为MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔，而MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔是事先获得的。假设MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔相同，例如每隔8小时发送一次第一信息，这样，空基平台每隔8小时与MTC设备建立一次通讯连接。假设MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔不相同，这样空基平台根据MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔，确定出MTC设备发送每个第一信息的时间点，在每个时间点到达时，空基平台与MTC设备建立通讯连接。此处，空基平台在每个第一信息的发送时间点到达时与MTC设备建立通讯连接，可以理解为在每个第一信息的发送时间点到达时，空基平台完成与MTC设备通讯连接。
再例如，预设时间规则为通信设备接收第一信息的时间间隔，假设通信设备接收第一信息的时间间隔相同，例如每隔8小时接收第一次第一信息，这样，空基平台每隔8小时与MTC设备建立一次通讯连接。假设通信设备接收第一信息的时间间隔不相同，这样空基平台根据通信设备接收第一信息的时间间隔，确定出通信设备接收每个第一信息的时间点，在每个时间点到达时，空基平台与MTC设备建立通讯连接，且从MTC设备处接到第一信息发送给通信设备。此处，空基平台与MTC设备建立通讯连接的时间，需要根据通信设备接收第一信息的时间间隔、空基平台与MTC设备连接需要花费的时间，以及空基平台将第一信息发送给第二区域中的通信设备所花费的时间来确定。
上述S101中的空基平台根据预设时间规则，与MTC设备建立通讯连接的方式至少包括两种：
第一种是，空基平台自身根据预设时间规则与MTC设备建立通讯连接，例如，空基平台自身保存该预设时间规则，空基平台的处理器根据该预设时间规则，控制空基平台中的通信模块与MTC设备建立通讯连接。
第二种是，空基平台由空基平台控制站控制，空基平台控制站根据该预设时间规则，控制空基平台与第一区域的MTC设备建立通讯连接。
本步骤，空基平台根据预设时间规则与MTC设备建立通讯连接，即在MTC设备与通信设备需要进行通信时，空基平台与MTC设备才建立连接，相比于已有的空基平台始终与MTC设备连接的方案，本申请可以有效避免空基平台与MTC设备的无效通信连接所造成的资源浪费的问题。同时，空基平台在MTC设备与通信设备不需要通信时，可以作为它用，例如，可以作为其他区域的空基平台。
S102、MTC设备将第一信息发送给空基平台。
S103、空基平台将第一信息发送给位于第二区域的通信设备。
根据上述步骤，空基平台与MTC设备建立通信连接后，MTV设备可以将需要发送给通 信设备的第一信息发生给空基平台。空基平台将该第一信息发送给第二区域的通信设备。
可选的，上述S103中空基平台将第一信息发送给第二区域的通信设备可以是，空基平台直接将第一信息发送给通信设备，例如，空基平台从第一区域移动至第二区域，将第一信息发送给第二区域的通信设备。
可选的，上述S103中空基平台将第一信息发送给第二区域的通信设备可以是，空基平台通过其他的飞行设备，将该第一信息转发给第二区域中的通信设备。例如，空基平台将第一信息发送给其他飞行设备，该其他飞行设备移动至第二区域时，将该第一信息发送给位于第二区域的通信设备。
可选的，若空基平台位于第一区域与第二区域的重叠区域，即空基平台既位于第一区域，又位于第二区域时，空基平台可以实时将上述第一信息发送给第二区域的通信设备。
在空基平台将第一信息发送给第二区域的通信设备后，若通信设备存在发送给MTC设备的第二信息时，本申请实施例的方法还包括：
S104、通信设备将第二信息发送给空基平台；
S105、空基平台将第二信息发送给MTC设备。
在上述S104的一种实现方式中，若空基平台将第一信息发送给通信设备后，此时，若通信设备检测到有第二信息需要发送给MTC设备时，通信设备可以将该第二信息发送给该空基平台，以使该空基平台将该第二信息发送给第一区域中的MTC设备。其中，第二信息的发送过程可以理解为第一信息的发送过程的反过程，具体可以参照上述第一信息的发送过程。
在上述S104的另一种实现方式中，若空基平台将第一信息发送给通信设备后，此时通信设备并没有第二信息需要发送给MTC设备时。在过一段时间后，通信设备需要发送第二信息，此时，若通信设备检测到空基平台与通信设备处于通讯连接状态，则通信设备将第二信息发送给空基平台，以使空基平台将该第二信息转发给MTC设备。若通信设备检测到空基平台与通信设备的通讯连接处于断开状态时，则通信设备首先与空基平台建立通讯连接，在建立通讯连接后，将第二信息发送给空基平台，以使空基平台将该第二信息转发给MTC设备。
由上述可知，本申请实施例的方法，空基平台根据预设时间规则，与位于第一区域的MTC设备建立通讯连接，在建立通讯连接后，MTC设备将第一信息发送给空基平台，以使空基平台将第一信息发送给位于第二区域的通信设备。同时，空基平台从通信设备处接到第二信息，并将该第二信息发送给MTC设备。本申请，空基平台根据预设时间规则与位于第一区域的MTC设备建立通讯连接，相比于已有的空基平台始终与MTC设备连接的方案，本申请可以有效避免空基平台与MTC设备的无效通信连接所造成的资源浪费的问题，并且提高了空基平台的灵活布置。
下面结合不同的示例对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行详细阐述。
示例一，如图4所示，图4示出的空基平台为无人机，可选的，该空基平台还可以是气球、滑翔机、飞艇、直升机等飞行设备。如图5所示，本实施例的通信过程为：
S201、空基平台根据预设规则，从停放基地移动至第一区域，并与第一区域中的MTC设备建立通讯连接。
可选的，若停放基地位于第一区域时，则上述S201中空基平台不需要移动，便可以根 据预设规则与第一区域中的MTC设备建立通讯连接。
S202、MTC设备将第一信息发送给空基平台。
S203、空基平台从第一区域移动至第二区域，并将第一信息发送给通信设备。
S204、通信设备将第二信息发送给空基平台。
S205、空基平台从第二区域移动至第一区域，并将第二信息发送给MTC设备。
S206、空基平台返回至停放基地。
上述S206中，空基平台在将第二信息发送给MTC设备后，返回至停放基站，根据预设时间规则，重复上述步骤。
其中，上述S201至S206的执行过程可以参照上述S101至S105的具体描述，在此不再赘述。

具体是，MTC设备可以检测到经过其顶部区域的卫星，将这个区域记为该MTC设备的卫星检测范围。在实际应用中，MTC设备根据预设规则，检测其卫星检测范围内的多个卫星的星历信息，根据星历信息，从这多个卫星中确定出一个目标卫星。该目标卫星为满足预设规则的卫星，例如预设规则为MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔，而MTC设备根据该目标卫星的星历信息可以确定，该目标卫星在第一区域与第二区域之间移动，并且该目标卫星到达第一区域的时间间隔与MTC设备发送第一信息的时间间隔相符。

可选的，若上述的飞行设备为卫星时，则空基平台控制站根据预先存储的星历，确定在第一区域与第二区域之间移动的卫星。接着，在该卫星抵达第一区域时，将该缓存的第一信息发送给该卫星，以使该卫星将该第一信息发送给第二区域中的通信设备。
可选的，上述空基平台控制站可以设置在陆地上，也可以设置在水面上，例如设置在水面平台上、轮船或浮标上等。
在另一种示例下，空基平台控制站为可移动的飞行设备，此时，如图12所示，空基平台控制站从空基平台处接收到第一信息后，从第一区域移动至第二区域，并将第一信息发送给通信设备。进一步的，空基平台控制站从通信设备处接到第二信息后，从第二区域移动至第一区域，并将第二信息发送给空基平台，以使空基平台将该第二信息发送给MTC设备。
