应理解,已存在的单播连接的侧行链路无线承载不满足第一单播业务的QoS信息对 应的业务需求时,执行图1所示的方法中的步骤102,第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送第一配置信息。而当已存在的单播连接的侧行链路无线承载满足第一单播业务的QoS信息对应的业务需求时(这种情况下,可以不更新已存在的单播连接的侧行链路无线承载的配置参数),可以不执行步骤102,而可以直接在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间交互第一单播业务的业务数据。
上文对第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间存在单播连接的情况进行了描述,下面对第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间不存在单播连接的情况进行描述。
第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间不存在单播连接的情况:
当第一通信装置和第二通信装置不存在单播连接时,需要先在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立一个单播连接,然后再对配置该单播连接的侧行链路无线承载的配置参数,接下来,再利用该单播连接的侧行链路无线承载来承载第一单播业务。
在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接时,根据单播建立请求消息中是否携带第一配置信息,可以将建立单播连接的方式分为两种,下面对这两种方式进行描述。
第一种方式:单播建立请求消息中携带第一配置信息。
在第一种方式下,在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的过程可以如图2所示,如图2所示,在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的步骤如下:
301、第一通信装置的非接入层从第一通信装置的接入层获取所述第一配置信息;
302、第一通信装置的非接入层向所述第二通信装置的非接入层发送第一请求消息。
示例性的,在步骤301中,第一通信装置的非接入层可以主动从第一通信装置的接入层获取第一配置信息,或者,也可以是第一通信装置的非接入层通过接收第一通信装置的接入层发送的第一配置信息的形式来获取第一配置信息。
示例性的,在步骤302中,第一请求消息是用于在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立第一单播连接,并且第一请求消息包括第一配置信息,第一单播连接用于在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间传输第一单播业务的业务数据。
在第一种方式下,第一通信装置是在建立单播连接的过程中直接将第一配置信息携带在第一请求消息中,使得第二通信装置在单播连接建立的过程中就能够获取到第一配置信息。
应理解,第二通信装置在接收到第一通信装置发送的第一请求消息之后,可以配合第一通信装置完成第一单播连接的建立,并在第一单播连接建立完成之后,向第一通信装置发送单播连接建立完成消息,以通知第一通信装置已完成第一单播连接的建立。
上述第一通信装置的非接入层为了从第一通信装置的接入层获取第一配置信息,还可以在步骤301之前执行步骤300。
300、第一通信装置的非接入层向第一通信装置的接入层指示以下信息中的一种或者多种:单播类型指示信息,所述第一通信装置的标识信息,所述第二通信装置的标识信息,或者,所述第一单播业务的QoS信息。
可选地,上述第一通信装置的标识信息包括第一通信装置的应用层标识和/或非接入层标识和/或第一通信装置的源层2标识(source L2 ID)。
可选地,上述第二通信装置的标识信息包括第二通信装置的应用层标识和/或非接入层标识和/或第二通信装置的源层2标识(source L2 ID)。
在步骤300中,第一通信装置的非接入层通过向第一通信装置的接入层指示上述信息,能够触发第一通信装置的接入层向第一通信装置的非接入层发送第一配置信息,使得第一通信装置的非接入层能够获取到第一配置信息。
下面结合图3以具体的实例对以第一种方式建立第一单播连接的过程进行详细的描述,图3是第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的过程的示意图。图3所示的过程包括:
401、第一通信装置的非接入层向第一通信装置的接入层指示如下信息中任一种或多种:单播类型指示信息,第一通信装置的标识信息,第二通信装置的标识信息以及第一单播业务的QoS信息。
402、第一通信装置的接入层获取第一单播连接的配置信息,并将该第一单播连接的配置信息发送给第一通信装置的非接入层。
示例性的,上述第一单播连接的配置信息为第一配置信息。
403、第一通信装置的非接入层将第一配置信息以及其他上层信息(例如,用户信息等,用户信息具体可以包括鉴权信息和/或安全加密信息等)携带在单播连接建立请求消息中,并将该单播连接建立请求消息发送给接入层,并指示接入层通过广播的方式向外发送。
404、第一通信装置的接入层根据第一通信装置的非接入层的指示,以广播的方式向外发送单播连接建立请求消息。
示例性的,在步骤404中,单播连接建立请求消息可以通过单播连接所属V2X业务对应的某一个广播SL-DRB进行传输,也就是将该单播连接建立请求消息随其他广播数据一起进行传输。并且,可以在该单播连接建立请求消息对应的PDCP PDU中,通过PDCP头(header)中的某个字段(如SDU-type字段)指示对应的PDCP SDU属于非接入层消息。可选的,单播连接请求消息所依附的V2X业务可能对应多个广播SL-DRB,这种情况下,可以通过相对优先级最高的SL-DRB来传输该单播连接建立请求消息。
可选的,单播连接建立请求消息也可以通过特殊的SL-SRB进行传输,SL-SRB的配置采取默认配置,在单播连接建立前SL-SRB即存在。
405、第二通信装置的接入层接收单播连接建立请求消息,并将该单播连接建立请求消息传递给第二通信装置的非接入层。
406、第二通信装置的非接入层对单播连接建立请求消息进行解析,获取第一配置信息和其他上层配置信息,并指示接入层传输单播连接建立完成消息。
407、第二通信装置的接入层获取第一配置信息和其他上层配置信息,建立第一单播连接的SL-DRB,并利用单播或者广播的方式向第一通信装置的接入层发送单播连接建立完成消息,以指示第一单播连接建立完成。
应理解,上述图3所示的步骤302中第一通信装置的非接入层向第二通信装置的非接入层发送第一请求消息,实质上是通过第一通信装置的接入层和第二通信装置的接入层间接的实现向第二通信装置的非接入层发送第一请求消息或者单播连接建立请求消息(参见步骤404和405)。
在上述步骤402中,第一通信装置的接入层可以采用多种方式来获取第一单播连接的配置信息。例如,第一单播连接的配置信息可以从接入网设备获取,下面结合图5对这种 情况进行详细说明。
图5是第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的过程的示意图。与图4所示的过程相比,图5所示的过程增加了步骤401a和401b,下面对这两个步骤进行介绍。
401a、第一通信装置的接入层向接入网设备发送第三请求消息,以获取第一配置信息。
401b、第一通信装置接收接入网设备发送的第一配置信息。
示例性的,上述第三请求消息具体可以是无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令,对处于RRC连接态的第一通信装置来说,当第一通信装置的接入层接收到了第二通信装置的非接入层的指示(步骤401)后,可以向接入网设备发送第三请求消息(步骤401a),该第三请求消息中可以携带V2X单播信息(如第一通信装置和第二通信装置的层2标识(L2 ID),通信(cast)类型(具体可以是单播、组播或者广播))和QoS信息等。接入网设备基于第一通信装置的请求,通过RRC信令为第一通信装置提供第一配置信息,该第一配置信息可以包括QoS flow和SL-DRB的映射关系,SL-DRB的配置,资源池配置,同步源配置等。
可选地,上述第一配置信息还可以从接入网设备广播的系统消息中获取。
应理解,上述第一配置信息还可以是预先配置的,例如,第一通信装置可以预先存储的QoS信息与SL-DRB的映射关系确定第一配置信息。
应理解,在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间进行第一单播业务时,第二通信装置的第一单播连接的SL-DRB的配置可以完全遵照第一通信装置发送的第一配置信息,也就是说,第二通信装置的第一单播连接的SL-DRB的接收配置和发送配置可以都从第一配置信息获取。
可选地,第二通信装置的第一单播连接的SL-DRB的接收配置可以从第一配置信息获取,而第二通信装置的第一单播连接的SL-DRB的发送配置可以与第一配置信息不同。下面结合图5对这种情况进行说明。
如图5所示,第二通信装置获取第一单播连接的SL-DRB的发送侧配置信息以及将该配置信息发送给第二通信装置的过程为步骤406a和步骤406b。
406a、第二通信装置向第二接入网设备发送第四请求信息。
406b、第二通信装置接收第二接入网设备发送的第二配置信息。
示例性的,对于第二通信装置来说,接入层在收到非接入层指示的第一配置信息(步骤406)后,接入层可以通过步骤406a向第二接入网设备第四请求消息来获取第一单播连接的SL-DRB的发送侧配置。
当第二通信装置获取到第一单播连接的SL-DRB的发送侧配置后,在与第一通信装置进行通信时,需要保证第一通信装置采用对应的接收侧配置,第二通信装置可以向第一通信装置发送第二配置信息(可以通过步骤407中的单播建立完成消息携带),以使得第一通信装置获取第一单播连接的SL-DRB对应的接收侧配置。
在完成上述步骤406b后,第二通信装置可以通过步骤407向第一通信装置发送单播连接建立完成消息,该单播连接建立完成消息携带上述第二配置信息。
示例性的,在图5中,第一通信装置和第二通信装置可以分别从第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备获取相应的配置信息,这里的第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备既可以是相同的设备,也可以是不同的设备。
第二种方式:单播建立请求消息中不携带第一配置信息。
在第二种方式下,在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的过程可以如图6所示,如图6所示,在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接以及传输第一配置信息的步骤如下:
501、第一通信装置的非接入层向第二通信装置的非接入层发送第二请求消息;
502、第一通信装置的接入层向第二通信装置的接入层发送第一配置信息。
示例性的,第二请求消息用于请求在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立第二单播连接,该第二单播连接用于在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间传输第一单播业务的业务数据。
在第二种方式下,是通过第一通信装置的接入层直接向第二通信装置的接入层发送第一配置信息。
可选地,在第二种方式下,为了触发第一通信装置的接入层向第二通信装置的接入层发送第一配置信息,第一通信装置还可以执行:
500、第一通信装置的非接入层向第一通信装置的接入层指示如下信息中任一种或多种:单播类型指示信息,第一通信装置的标识信息,第二通信装置的标识信息,第一单播业务的QoS信息。
在步骤500中,第一通信装置的标识信息可以包括第一通信装置的应用层标识和/或非接入层标识和/或第一通信装置的源层2标识(source L2 ID);第二通信装置的标识信息可以包括第二通信装置的应用层标识和/或非接入层标识和/或第二通信装置的源层2标识(source L2 ID)。
在上述步骤500中,第一通信装置的非接入层通过向第一通信装置的接入层指示信息,能够触发第一通信装置的接入层向第二通信装置的接入层发送第一配置信息,从而使得第二通信装置获取第一配置信息,进而为后续执行第一单播业务做好准备。
下面结合图7以具体的实例对以第二种方式建立第二单播连接的过程进详细的描述,图7是第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的过程的示意图。图7所示的过程包括:
601、第一通信装置的非接入层向第一通信装置的接入层指示如下信息中任一种或多种:单播类型指示信息,第一通信装置的标识信息,第二通信装置的标识信息以及第一单播业务的QoS信息。
602、第一通信装置的非接入层生成单播建立请求消息,将该单播连接建立请求消息发送给第一通信装置的接入层,并指示接入层通过广播的方式向外发送。
603、第一通信装置的接入层根据第一通信装置的非接入层的指示,以广播的方式向外发送单播连接建立请求消息。
步骤603的具体处理过程与上文中的步骤404的具体处理过程相同,这里不再重复描述。
604、第二通信装置的非接入层对单播连接建立请求消息解析,获取建立单播连接的相关信息。
605、第二通信装置的非接入层生成单播建立完成消息,将该单播连接建立完成消息发送给第二通信装置的接入层,并指示接入层通过单播或者广播的方式向外发送。
606、第二通信装置的接入层利用单播或者广播的方式向第一通信装置的接入层发送单播连接建立完成消息,以指示第二单播连接建立完成。
607、第一通信装置的接入层向第二通信装置的接入层发送第一配置信息。
示例性的,在步骤607中,第一通信装置的接入层可以通过SL-SRB来传输第一配置信息。当单播连接建立完成后,后续的非接入层消息也可以通过SL-SRB来进行传输。
上述SL-SRB的配置信息可以是预先配置在第一通信装置中的,当第一单播连接建立完成之后,第一通信装置根据预配置信息建立默认SL-SRB,此时可以用来通过SL-SRB传输第一配置信息。
上述SL-SRB的配置信息还可以在单播连接建立的过程中获取,例如,第一通信装置的接入层获取到SL-SRB的配置信息后,指示给非接入层,上述SL-SRB的配置信息可以携带在第一通信装置的非接入层向第二通信装置的非接入层发送的单播建立请求消息中。
图8是第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的过程的示意图。与图7所示的过程相比,图7所示的过程增加了步骤607a和607b,下面对这两个步骤进行介绍。
607a、第一通信装置的接入层向接入网设备发送第三请求消息,以获取第一配置信息。
607b、第一通信装置接收接入网设备发送的第一配置信息。
示例性的,上述第三请求消息可以具体携带在RRC信令中,对处于RRC连接态的第一通信装置来说,当第一通信装置的接入层接收到了第二通信装置的非接入层的指示(步骤601)后,可以向接入网设备发送第三请求消息(步骤607a),该第三请求消息中可以携带V2X单播信息(如第一通信装置和第二通信装置的层2 ID(L2 ID),通信类型,示例性的通信类型具体可以是单播/组播/广播)和QoS信息等。接入网设备基于第一通信装置的请求,通过RRC信令为第一通信装置提供第一配置信息,该第一配置信息可以包括QoS flow和SL-DRB的映射关系,SL-DRB的配置,资源池配置,同步源配置等。
可选地,上述第一配置信息还可以从接入网设备广播的系统消息中获取。
应理解,上述第一配置信息还可以是预先配置的,例如,当第一通信装置处于接入网设备的覆盖范围时,第一通信装置可以预先存储的QoS信息与SL-DRB的映射关系,以及SL-DRB的资源配置等来生成第一配置信息。
在图1所示的方法中,为了提高单播通信的安全性,可以对通信装置的标识进行更新,然后将该通信装置的标识传输给对端的通信装置。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一通信装置的标识信息被更新,图1所示的方法还包括:第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送标识更新信息,标识更新信息用于指示更新后的第二通信装置的标识信息。
本申请中,通过将更新后的通信装置的标识信息传输给对端设备,能够保证单播通信正常进行,并能提高单播通信的安全性。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一通信装置的非接入层为第一通信装置的PC5信令层或者V2X层,第一通信装置的接入层是第一通信装置的RRC层或者SL RRC层
类似的,第二通信装置的非接入层也可以为PC5信令层或者V2X层,或者,第二通信装置的接入层也可以为RRC层或者SL RRC层。

图9是本申请实施例的通信方法的示意性流程图。图9所示的方法可以由第二通信装置执行,图9所示的方法包括步骤701和702,下面对步骤701和702进行详细的介绍。
701、第二通信装置接收第一通信装置发送的第一配置信息。
示例性的,上述第一配置信息包括第一侧行链路无线承载的配置信息,第一侧行链路无线承载用于承载第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间的第一单播业务,并且第一侧行链路为第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间的无线链路。
702、第二通信装置根据第一配置信息确定第一侧行链路无线承载的配置信息。
上述第一侧行链路承载既可以只包括SL-DRB,也可以只包括SL-SRB,也可以既包括SL-DRB又包括SL-SRB。
可选地,SL-DRB的配置信息包括以下信息中的一种或者多种:QoS流到SL-DRB的映射关系信息,PDCP配置信息,RLC配置信息,LCH配置信息。
可选地,上述第一侧行链路无线承载是能够满足第一单播业务的QoS信息对应的业务需求的无线承载。
当上述第一侧行链路无线承载是能够满足第一单播业务的QoS信息对应的业务需求的无线承载时,通过在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间交互第一配置信息,能够使得第一通信装置和第二通信装置根据该第一配置信息来执行第一单播业务,进而满足第一单播业务的业务需求。
本申请中,通过在通信装置之间交互承载单播业务的侧行链路无线承载的配置信息,使得通信装置之间能够根据侧行链路无线承载的配置信息更好地进行单播业务数据的传输。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间当前不存在单播连接,第二通信装置接收第一通信装置发送的第一配置信息,包括:第二通信装置的非接入层接收第一通信装置的非接入层发送的第一请求消息,以在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立第一单播连接。
示例性的,上述第一请求消息包括第一配置信息,第一单播连接用于在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间传输第一单播业务的业务数据。
当第二通信装置接收到第一请求消息之后,可以与第一通信装置共同建立第一单播连接,其中,建立第一单播连接的具体过程可以参见上文中的第一种方式描述的建立单播连接的过程。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间当前不存在单播连接,图9所示的方法还包括:第二通信装置的非接入层接收第一通信装置的非接入层发送的第二请求消息,以在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立第二单播连接,其中,第二单播连接用于在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间传输第一单播业务的业务数据;第二通信装置接收第一通信装置发送的第一配置信息,包括:第二通信装置的接入层接收第一通信装置的接入层发送的第一配置信息。

可选地,作为一个实施例,图9所示的方法还包括:第二通信装置接收第一通信装置发送的标识更新信息,该标识更新信息用于指示第一通信装置更新后的标识信息。
为了更好地理解本申请实施例中单播连接存在和单播连接不存在时第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间进行单播通信的方式,下面结合图10对第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间的单播通信方式进行详细的描述。
图10是本申请实施例的通信方法的示意性流程图。图10所示的方法可以由第一通信装置来执行,图10所示的方法包括步骤1001至1006,下面对这些步骤进行详细的介绍。
1001、第一通信装置发起新的单播业务。
步骤1001中的新的单播业务可以相当于上文中的第一单播业务。
1002、第一通信装置确定在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间是否存在单播连接。
在步骤1002中,第一通信装置可以通过判断是否建立和维护一组与第二通信装置进行单播通信的SL-SRB和/或SL-DRB,来确定和第二通信装置之间是否存在单播连接。如果存在这样的SL-SRB/SL-DRB,则存在单播连接,否则不存在。
当步骤1002中确定出第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间当前不存在单播连接时,为了实现单播通信,需要在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间先建立单播连接,然后才能进行单播通信,也就是执行步骤1003和步骤1006。
1003、在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接并进行第一配置信息的交互。
应理解,在步骤1003中,既可以按照上述第一种方式来建立单播连接,也可以按照上述第二种方式来建立单播连接,具体的单播连接的建立过程以及第一配置信息的交互可以参考上述第一种方式和第二种方式中的相关内容。
当步骤1002中确定出第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间当前已存在单播连接时,可以先判断该单播连接是否能够满足第一通信装置发起的新的单播业务的业务需求,也就是执行步骤1004,如果已有的单播连接能够满足新的单播业务的业务需求,那么就可以基于该已经存在的单播连接进行单播通信,也就是执行步骤1006,而如果已有的单播连接无法满足新的单播业务的业务需求时,那么,需要重新为该已存在的单播连接更新配置信息,也就是执行步骤1005。
1004、确定已存在的单播连接的侧行链路无线承载是否满足新的单播业务的业务需求。
1005、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送第一配置信息。
也就是说,在步骤1005中,第一通信装置要向第二通信装置发送第一配置信息,第二通信装置在接收到第一配置信息之后会根据第一配置信息中的内容对已有的单播连接的配置进行更新。
1006、第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行单播数据的传输。
图11是本申请实施例的通信方法的示意性流程图。
图11是在图10的基础上对第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间进行单播通信的过程进行了进一步的细化,图11所示的方法可以由第一通信装置来执行,图11所示的方法包括步骤2001至2008,下面对这些步骤进行详细的介绍。
2001、第一通信装置发起新的单播业务。
2002、第一通信装置确定在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间是否存在单播连接。
当第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间不存在单播连接时,执行步骤2003和2009实现单播通信;当第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间存在单播连接时,执行步骤2004至步骤2008,利用已有的单播连接实现第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间的单播通信。
2003、在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接并进行第一配置信息的交互。
2004、第一通信装置的非接入层向第二通信装置发送新单播业务的QoS信息。
在步骤204中,通过向第二通信装置发送新单播业务的QoS信息,使得第二通信装置能够确定新单播业务的业务需求,第二通信装置在接收到该信息之后,可以向第一通信装置发送反馈信息,该反馈信息用于向第一通信装置反馈第二通信装置能否支持第一通信装置发起的新单播业务(或者能否满足第一通信装置发起的新单播业务的业务需求)。如果第二通信装置能够支持第一通信装置发起的新单播业务,则继续执行步骤2005至2009,否则,停止执行步骤2005至2009,停止单播通信。
2005、第一通信装置的非接入层向第一通信装置的接入层发送指示信息,该指示信息包括新单播业务的QoS信息和层2 ID(L2 ID)。
示例性的,步骤2005中的指示信息中的L2 ID为第二通信装置的L2 ID。
2006、第一通信装置的接入层判断新单播业务是否能通过已有的SL-DRB承载。
在步骤2006时,第一通信装置的接入层可以根据从第一通信装置的非接入层接收到的指示信息来判断新单播业务是否能通过已有的SL-DRB承载。
当新单播业务能够通过已有的SL-DRB来承载时,执行步骤2009进行单播数据的传输;而当已有的单播连接无法满足新的单播业务的业务需求时,那么,需要重新为该已存在的单播连接更新配置信息,也就是执行步骤2007和2008。
2007、第一通信装置获取与新单播业务的QoS信息对应的SL-DRB配置,生成第一配置信息。
示例性的,上述第一配置信息包括与新单播业务的QoS信息对应的SL-DRB配置信息。
对于不同类型的通信装置来说,获取QoS信息对应的SL-DRB配置信息的方式不太相同。
例如,对于基站覆盖范围外(Out-of-coverage)的通信装置来说,可以预配置有VQI和SL-DRB的映射关系,以及相应SL-DRB的配置。
再如,对于基站覆盖范围内(In-coverage)且处于RRC连接态的通信装置来说,该通信装置可以向基站发送业务请求消息,该消息中携带V2X单播信息(如发起通信装置和目的通信装置的L2 ID,cast类型)和QoS信息等,基站基于通信装置的请求,通过RRC信令为UE配置VQI和SL-DRB的映射关系,以及相应SL-DRB的配置;
示例性的,对于基站覆盖范围内(In-coverage)且处于RRC空闲态的通信装置,如果基站广播的SIB信令中包括该VQI和SL-DRB的映射关系,以及相应SL-DRB的配置,则遵从SIB广播的配置,如果SIB信令未包括如上配置,UE可以进入RRC连接态,向基站发送业务请求消息,进而获取VQI和SL-DRB的映射关系。
当通信装置获取了上述VQI和SL-DRB的映射关系后,就可以根据该映射关系获取与新单播业务的QoS信息对应的SL-DRB配置信息。
2008、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送第一配置信息。
应理解,上文中对第一配置信息以及第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间建立单播连接的相关限定和解释也同样适用于图10和图11所示的方法中。
为了保证单播通信时的安全性,可以定期或者不定期的为通信装置更新标识,并将更新后的标识信息传输给对端设备。因此,本申请实施例还提供了另一种通信方法,在该通信方法中,通信装置之间可以交互更新标识信息,以更新通信装置的标识。下面结合图12对这种通信方法进行描述。
图12是本申请实施例的通信方法的示意性流程图。图12所示的方法可以由第一通信装置执行,图12所示的方法包括步骤3001和3002,下面对这两个步骤进行介绍。
3001、第一通信装置获取标识更新信息。
上述标识更新信息包括:第一通信装置7000更新后的标识信息。
3002、第一通信装置通过侧行链路向第二通信装置发送所述标识更新信息。
示例性的,上述侧行链路为第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间的无线链路向所述第二通信装置发送所述标识更新信息。
通过将标识更新信息发送给第二通信装置,使得第一通信装置和第二通信装置进行单播通信时,相应的单播通信业务数据能够正常的在第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间传输。
可选地,作为一个实施例,标识更新信息还包括:第一通信装置更新前的标识信息。
通过在标识更新信息中保留第一通信装置更新前的标识信息,能够确保第一通信装置和第二通信装置之间在标识更新之前传输的单播通信业务数据也能够在第一通信装置和第二通信装置正常传输。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一通信装置的标识信息包括所述第一通信装置的应用层标识和/或所述第一通信装置的源层2标识。
为了对通信装置的设备标识更新后的通信过程能够有更详细的了解,下面结合图13对设备标识更新后的单播通信过程进行详细的介绍。
图13是本申请实施例的单播通信的过程的示意图。图13主要示出了通信装置的设备标识更新时的单播通信过程。图13所示的过程包括4001至4010,下面对这些过程进行详细的介绍。
在图13中,第一通信装置和第二通信装置当前存在第一单播连接,该第一单播连接维护了一组SL-DRB,第一通信装置和第二通信装置基于该组SL-DRB(第一单播连接维护的一组SL-DRB)进行单播通信,第一通信装置的设备ID为X,第一通信装置的设备ID为Y。
示例性的,对于第一通信装置来说,SL-DRB发送侧关联的源L2 ID为X(src L2ID=X),目的L2 ID为Y(dest L2 ID=Y),即该组SL-DRB发送的数据包中携带的源L2ID和目的L2 ID填充的分别为X和Y;SL-DRB接收侧关联的源L2 ID为Y(src L2 ID=Y),目的L2 ID为X(dest L2 ID=X),即SL-DRB接收侧只处理携带的源L2 ID和目的L2 ID填充的分别为Y和X的数据包。
4001、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送第一单播数据,该第一单播数据得数据包中携带的源L2 ID=X,目标L2 ID=Y。
为了提高设备间进行单播通信的安全性,可以对设备的设备标识进行更新,也就是执行步骤4002。
4002、第二通信装置的设备标识由Y更新为Y’。
示例性的,在步骤4002中,可以是由第二通信装置自身定期或者不定期的对自身的设备标识进行更新。示例性的,设备标识可以包括应用层标识和/或非接入层标识和/或源层2 ID。
4003、第二通信装置向第一通信装置发送设备标识更新消息。
示例性的,上述设备标识更新消息可以是PC5-S消息,上述设备标识更新消息也可以称为L2 ID更新请求(L2 ID update request)消息。
上述设备标识更新消息可以只包括第二通信装置更新后的源L2 ID。
可选的,上述设备标识更新消息也可以既包括第二设备更新前的源L2 ID,也包括第二通信装置更新后的源L2 ID。
4004、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送设备标识更新响应消息。
上述设备标识更新响应消息也可以称为L2 ID更新响应(L2 ID update response)消息,该设备标识更新消息用于指示第一通信装置已成功接收设备标识更新消息。
4005、第一通信装置的非接收入层通知第一通信装置的接入层更新L2 ID。
可选地,也可以没有上述步骤4005,而直接执行步骤4006。
4006、第一通信装置的接入层对第一单播连接的SL-DRB关联的L2 ID进行更新。
在步骤4006中,第一通信装置的接入层在收到非接入层的更新指示后,将第一单播连接对应的一组SL-DRB的发送侧关联的目的L2 ID由Y更新为Y’,即由这组SL-DRB的数据包新生成的MAC PDU中携带的目的L2 ID填充为Y’。在这种情况下,第一通信装置对于关联到源L2 ID为Y的接收HARQ的进程进行清空,并且将物理层已经接收到的源L2 ID为Y的数据包过滤掉,或者对关联到源L2 ID为Y的HARQ进程和物理层不定义任何操作,对于MAC层解析到的源L2 ID为Y发来的数据包则过滤掉。
或者,接入层中的MAC层向物理层(PHY)递交新生成MAC PDU时,指示的目的L2 ID为Y’(之前组好的MAC PDU中目的L2 ID已经填充了Y,但是数据还在物理层进行重传,继续重传,不对数据进行改动)。该单播连接对应的一组SL-DRB的接收侧在一段时间内关联得源L2 ID为Y和Y’,在该段时间内,第一通信装置收到源L2 ID为Y和Y’的数据,都根据侧行链路LCH ID递交给该组SL-DRB中对应的SL-DRB进行处理。
示例性的,第一通信装置的接入层(可以是MAC层或SL-RRC层)可以启动一个定时器(timer),在定时器运行时,接收侧SL-DRB同时关联的L2 ID为Y和Y’。该定时器的定时时长可以是协议预定义的(定时器的时长与一个传输块进行初传和重传的平均时间间隔t以及最大HARQ重传次数n有关,如定时器的定时时长可以定义为t*n),或预配置的,也可以是网络通过SIB信令或RRC专用信令进行配置,或L2 ID更新请求消息来直接指示该定时器的定时时长。在定时器运行时,第一通信装置收到源L2 ID为Y和Y’的数据,当定时器超时后,则第一通信装置只接收源L2 ID为Y’的数据。
4007、第二通信装置的非接收入层通知第二通信装置的接入层更新L2 ID。
示例性的,步骤4007中,非接入层指示接入层进行源L2 ID的更新。
可选地,也可以没有上述步骤4007,而直接执行步骤4008。
4008、第二通信装置的接入层对第一单播连接的SL-DRB关联的L2 ID进行更新。
第二通信装置的接入层可以将第一单播连接对应的一组SL-DRB的发送侧关联的源L2 ID由Y更新为Y’,即由这组SL-DRB的数据包新生成的MAC PDU中携带的源L2 ID填充为Y’,或MAC层向PHY层递交新生成MAC PDU时,指示的源L2 ID为Y’(之前组好的MAC PDU中源L2 ID已经填充了Y,但是数据还在物理层进行重传,继续进行重传,不去对数据进行改动)。在这种情况下,第二通信装置对于目的L2 ID为Y的接收HARQ的进程进行清空,并且将物理层已经接收到的目的L2 ID为Y的数据包过滤掉,或者对接收到的目的L2 ID为Y的HARQ进程和物理层不定义任何操作,对于MAC层解析到的目的L2 ID为Y发来的数据包则过滤掉。
或者,第二通信装置的接入层在收到非接入层更新指示后,还可以将第一单播连接对应的一组SL-DRB的接收侧关联的目的L2 ID更新为Y和Y’(更新之前目的L2 ID为Y),在这段时间内第二通信装置收到源L2 ID为X,目的L2 ID为Y和Y’的数据,都根据侧行链路LCH ID递交给该组SL-DRB中对应的SL-DRB进行处理。
示例性的,第二通信装置的接入层可以启动一个定时器,在该定时器运行时,第二通信装置收到源L2 ID为X,目的L2 ID为Y和Y’的数据后,都可以根据sidelink LCH ID递交给该组SL-DRB中对应的SL-DRB进行处理;当定时器运行时,第二通信装置接收源L2 ID为X,目的L2 ID为Y和Y’的数据,当定时器超时后,第二通信装置只接收目的L2 ID为Y’的数据。
4009、第一通信装置接收第二通信装置发送的第二单播数据,该第二单播数据的源L2 ID为Y。
上述第二单播数据可以是第二通信装置在更新设备标识之前发送的单播数据,由于数据传输延迟或者数据传输错误,可能导致第一通信装置在更新了SL-DRB关联的L2 ID之后接收到第二通信装置在设备标识更新前发送的单播数据。
4010、第一通信装置接收第二通信装置发送的第三单播数据,该第三单播数据的源L2 ID为Y’。
上述第三单播数据是第二通信装置在设备标识更新后的单播数据,由于第一通信装置已经根据设备标识更新消息对SL-DRB关联的L2 ID进行了更新,因此,第一通信装置可以接收到第二通信装置发送的源L2 ID为Y’的单播数据。
可选的,为了进一步提高单播通信的安全性,当通信装置更新了L2 ID之后,还可以更新PDCP层加密算法的密钥,更新后的密钥(例如,一种特殊情况下密钥即为源L2 ID)可以和更新后的源L2 ID一起携带在设备标识更新消息(L2 ID更新请求消息)中。
示例性的,对于第二通信装置来说,在接收到PC5-S信令(携带的更新后的L2 ID和密钥)后,接入层在使用更新后的密钥前,可以发送一个或多个特殊的PDCP PDU(可以称之为end-marker PDCP PDU)给第一通信装置,该PDCP PDU中指示一个SN值,表示该SN之前的PDCP PDU都是用原来的密钥和L2 ID进行加密的,后续PDCP PDU使用新的密钥和L2 ID进行加密。第一通信装置的PDCP层收到该特殊PDCP PDU后,对SN在所指示SN之前的PDCP PDU利用更新前的L2 ID和密钥进行解密,对后续SN的PDCP  PDU利用新的L2 ID和密钥进行解密。
可选的,对于第二通信装置来说,在接收到PC5-S信令指示密钥更新后,新建立一组和当前该单播连接维护的SL-DRB配置相同的SL-DRB(采用安全算法和密钥不同),并对新建立的SL-DRB进行初始化。第二通信装置利用新建立的SL-DRB进行单播业务的数据收发。
