detailed description

In order to understand the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present invention in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for reference and explanation purposes only, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

Before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, first, a brief description of data replication and transmission is given.

In Release16, the subject of research has been expanded, and the business of factory automation, transportation industry, and electrical power distribution will be extended to the topic of 5G IIoT; therefore, time-sensitive networks ( Time Sensitive Network (TSN) concept. Therefore, the topic of 5G IIoT will focus on TSN-related enhancements, intra-user priority and data duplication transmission and multi-connectivity. The schematic diagram of the data replication transmission architecture is shown in Figure 1. Among them, the dual connectivity (Dual Connectivity, DC) data replication transmission mode is shown in Figure 1 as the (Data Resource Bearer, DRB) ID2 between the terminal equipment and the base station. The architecture of split bearer. The Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity associates two different radio link control (Radio Link Control, RLC) entities; one entity corresponds to a primary cell group (MCG), and one entity Corresponds to a secondary cell group (Secondary Cell Group, SCG). Regarding the uplink transmission data and the downlink transmission data, the PDCP entity copies the PDCP Protocol Data Unit (PDU) into the same two copies. The two PDCP entities go through the RLC entities of different cell groups and different media access control (Media Access Control) entities. The Access Control (MAC) entity and the air interface arrive at the corresponding MAC entity and RLC entity of the terminal device or base station; finally converge to the PDCP layer; when the PDCP layer detects that the data received by the two PDCP entities is the same data obtained after copying, such as through two If two PDCP PDUs have the same serial number (Serial Number), it is judged that the data is the same data obtained after copying, and one copy of the data is discarded, and the other data is submitted to the higher layer.

Carrier Aggregation (CA) data replication transmission mode is shown in DRB ID1 or DRB ID3 in Figure 1. The PDCP entity is associated with two different RLC entities, and the two RLC entities are associated with the same MAC entity. For the uplink transmission data and the downlink transmission data, the PDCP entity copies the PDCP PDU into the same two copies, and the two PDCP entities pass through different RLC entities in a cell group, the same MAC entity, and the air interface to the terminal equipment or the corresponding MAC entity of the base station. And RLC entity; finally converged to the PDCP layer; when the PDCP layer detects that the data received by two PDCP entities is the same data obtained after copying, for example, two PDCP PDUs have the same serial number (Serial Number) to determine that the data is copied If the same data is obtained, one of the data is discarded, and the other data is submitted to the higher level.

In related technologies, during data replication transmission, the uplink PDCP data replication function is configured based on DRB, that is, the uplink PDCP data replication transmission configures the data replication transmission with DRB as the granularity to control the activation or deactivation of the data replication transmission. In specific implementation, by adding corresponding information to the PDCP-config IE in the radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) reconfiguration message, the bearer-based data replication method is configured. Indicate activation or deactivation based on MAC CE, that is, indicate whether to use PDCP to copy data transmission or not to use PDCP to copy data transmission; for example, to activate or deactivate PCDP copy data transmission, the MAC CE includes an 8-bit bitmap. The bits correspond to different DRBs, and the different values in the bits indicate the activation or deactivation of the data copy transmission of the corresponding DRB; if the bit value is 0, it indicates that the data copy transmission is deactivated; when the bit value is 1, it indicates the activation Data replication and transmission.

However, data replication in related technologies can only be transmitted through two paths, that is, one data packet is replicated once, which limits the application scenarios of data replication transmission; and the terminal device can only determine whether to perform data replication transmission through instructions from the base station And the way of data replication and transmission. The method for the terminal equipment to determine the data replication transmission through the base station instruction is not only inflexible, but also because the base station is not clear about the downlink channel quality, the method for the base station to instruct the terminal equipment to perform the data replication transmission may be inappropriate.

For example, the first data replication information includes: whether data replication transmission is adopted and the bearer of the data replication transmission is adopted; the second data replication information includes: the path identification used when the data replication transmission is not adopted, and the path identification used during the data replication transmission , The granularity of data replication transmission and the number of times of data replication; at this time, the data replication mode indicated by the first data replication information is completely different from the data replication mode indicated by the second data replication information.

In some embodiments, when the first data replication information determined by the terminal device according to the first information and the data replication mode included in the second data replication information are completely different, the terminal device is based on the first data replication information. Determine the first information in the first data replication data, and determine the second information in the first data replication data based on the second data replication information, where the first data replication data includes the first information and the second information Information; or, the terminal device determines the first information in the first data replication manner based on the first data replication information, and determines the second information in the first data replication manner based on the second data replication information Information, the first data copy mode includes first information and second information. For example, the terminal device determines that the data replication mode included in the first data replication information is at least one of the following: whether to use data replication transmission, determine whether to use the bearer corresponding to the data replication, the number of data replications, and not to use data replication transmission Time and path identifier used; the terminal device determines that the data copy mode included in the second data copy information is at least one of the following: the number of paths used for data copy transmission, the path or path identifier used during data copy transmission, and data copy transmission The granularity and the object of data replication and transmission. Then the data copy mode finally determined by the terminal device includes at least one data copy mode corresponding to the first data copy information: whether to use data copy transmission, determine whether to use the bearer corresponding to the data copy, the number of times of data copy, and not to use The path or path identifier used during data replication and transmission; and the corresponding at least one data replication method in the second data replication information: the number of paths used for data replication transmission, the path or path identifier used during data replication transmission, and data replication The granularity of transmission and the object of data replication and transmission.

In some embodiments, the first data copy information and the second data copy information determined by the terminal device according to the first information include part or all of the same data copy mode, and for the same data copy mode, the first data copy information When the content indicated by a piece of data replication information is different from the content indicated by the second data replication information, the terminal device adopts the content indicated by the corresponding first data replication mode in the second data replication information; or The terminal device adopts the content indicated in the first copy information corresponding to the first data copy mode; or, the terminal device determines that the first data copy is based on the first copy information and the second copy information The content indicated by the mode; or, the terminal device determines the content indicated by the first data replication mode based on the second replication information and/or the first policy, and the first policy is configured by the network device or preset Or, the terminal device determines or further determines the content of the first data copy mode based on the second copy information. For example, when the first data replication information and the second data replication information determined by the terminal device based on the first information both include the number of data replications, the first data replication information indicates that the number of data replications is 4. When the second data copy information indicates that the number of data copying is 8, the terminal device may use the number of data copying as 4 or the number of data copying as 8. In addition, when the terminal device adopts the content indicated in the second data replication information, so that the terminal device cannot realize data replication transmission based on the first data replication information, the terminal device can adaptively modify the data indicated in the first data replication information Copy method. For another example, the number of times that the terminal device uses data replication according to the second data replication information is 8, and when the paths 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used for transmission, if the terminal device determines that the first data replication information uses data replication The transmission path is different, and the terminal device needs to further update the transmission path using data copy to 1, 3 or 1, 5, and the number of copied data to be transmitted is 8. For another example, the number of times that the terminal device uses data replication according to the second data replication information is 8, and when the paths 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used for transmission, if the terminal device determines that the first data replication information uses data replication If the value of the number of transmissions is different, the terminal device needs to further update the number of data transmissions by data replication, but still select the path 1, 2, 3, and 4 for transmission. Or the terminal device simultaneously updates the number of data replication transmissions and the data replication transmission path.

An example is given for the terminal device determining the content indicated by the first data copying method based on the first copying information and the second copying information; the data copying method is the path identifier used when data copying is used for transmission As an example, if the terminal device determines based on the first copy information that the path identifiers used in data copy transmission are 1 and 2, and based on the second copy information determines that the path identifier used in data copy transmission is 3, the terminal device finally determines to use the data The path identifiers used when copying and transmitting are 1, 2, and 3. Or, if the terminal device determines based on the first copy information that the path identifiers used in data copy transmission are 1 and 2, and based on the second copy information determines that the path identifiers used in data copy transmission are 1 and 3, the terminal device finally determines to use The path identifier used for data replication and transmission is 1.

Take the number of data replication transmission paths as an example. If the number of data replication transmission paths is determined based on the second replication information, and the first strategy indicates that the number of data replication transmission paths is 2, the terminal device will finally Determine the number of paths used for data replication transmission 2. Optionally, the first strategy may stipulate information such as the number of paths, RLC entities, carriers, etc., for simultaneously supporting or selecting data replication transmission at most. Optionally, the first strategy may be pre-configured or indicated by the network.

An example will be given for the terminal device determining the content indicated by the first data replication mode based on the second replication information and the first strategy; the first strategy may be when the second replication information conflicts with the first replication information , How to determine the information or strategy of the data replication mode; or, the first strategy may be the information or strategy of how to determine the data replication mode when the second replication information is received. For example, when receiving instructions from the network device to use or activate the paths (legs) are leg1, leg2, and leg3, the UE selects the leg that is ultimately used for data replication and transmission based on the first policy and the three legs indicated by the network, such as leg1 In, leg2, and leg3, leg1 and leg2 are selected as the leg for the final transmission of the copied data. For another example, when receiving the instruction from the network device to use or activate the legs are leg1, leg2, and leg3, the UE determines that the maximum number of legs used to transmit replicated data is 2, based on the first policy and the three legs indicated by the network, and Make sure to select the leg that is ultimately used for data replication transmission. For example, leg1 and leg2 are selected from leg1, leg2, and leg3 as the leg for the final transmission of the replicated data.

The terminal device determines the content indicated by the first data replication mode based on the second replication information by an example; taking the data replication mode as a data replication transmission path as an example, the terminal device is used for data indicated by the network device Select the leg that is ultimately used for data replication and transmission among the activated legs of the replication transmission. Specifically, the legs that the network device indicates to use or activate are leg1, leg2, and leg3. The UE selects the leg that is ultimately used for data replication and transmission based on the three legs indicated by the network, such as leg1, leg2, and leg3. And leg2 is the leg that finally transmits the copied data.

It can be understood that the terminal device stores the data copy mode indicated in the second copy information into the first copy information, so as to update the first copy information. The terminal device performs data copy transmission based on the data copy mode indicated by the updated first copy information. For example, the terminal device determines to perform data replication transmission to DRB1, and the second data replication information indicates that the path identifier for data transmission is the logical channel identifier, and the logical channel identifiers 1 and 2 are used for transmission; then the terminal device determines to use Logical channels identified as 1 and 2 transmit DRB1.
