技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域,更具体地涉及一种接口可用性上报、指示方法和设备。
背景技术
副链路(Sidelink,SL),也称侧链路或边链路,用于终端设备(UserEquipment,UE)之间不通过网络设备而直接进行通信。在SL资源选择方面,长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统中的终端设备通过两种模式进行选择,第一种模式(mode1)是调度资源分配(Scheduled resource allocation)模式,由网络设备向终端设备分配SL资源;第二种模式(mode2)是自主资源选择(autonomous resource selection)模式,由UE自主选择SL资源,其中,第二种模式又包括a、b、c和d四种。在通信方式方面,LTE中的副链路是通过广播的方式通信的;新空口(New Radio,NR)系统中的副链路支持单播、组播和广播三种通信方式,其中,单播是一对一(one to one)的通信方式,组播和广播都是一对多(one to many)的通信方式,但是广播方式不要求多个目标终端设备属于同一个用户组。
在通信过程中,不同通信主体之间的接口(interface)是不同的,比如,终端设备之间直接通信的接口为PC5接口,终端设备与网络设备之间通信的接口为用户到网络的通用(User to Network interface universal,Uu)接口。
目前,对于终端设备来说,是选择PC5接口还是选择Uu接口进行通信,由终端设备的上层(up layer)决定。上层在进行接口选择时,需要参照终端设备的接入(Access,AS)层上报的不同接口的可用性(availability)。但是,终端设备的AS层具体上报了哪些信息尚不清楚。

当目标接口包括PC5接口和Uu接口时,可以用2bits联合指示第一信息,具体可以利用2bits中的1bit指示PC5接口可用或不可用,利用2bits中的剩余1bit指示Uu接口可用或不可用,这2bits的顺序可以是任意的,也可以由协议规定、预配置或由AS层的上层确定。
当目标接口中的某一接口存在多种情况时,可以用多个bits对这多种情况下的该接口的可用性分别进行指示,且这多个bits的顺序也可以是任意的,或者可以由协议规定、预配置或由AS层的上层确定。例如,如果目标接口为PC5接口,且PC5存在单播和组播两种情况,那么可以用2bits联合指示第一信息,具体的,利用这2bits中的1bit指示单播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,利用2bits中的剩余1bit指示组播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,这2bits的顺序也可以是任意的。再如,如果目标接口为PC5接口,且PC5存在单播、组播和广播三种情况,那么可以用3bits联合指示第一信息, 具体的,利用这3bits中的第一bit指示单播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,利用3bits中的第二bit指示组播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,利用3bits中的第三bit指示广播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,这3bits的顺序也可以是任意的。
第二信息具体包含的内容分很多种情况,下文会结合具体的实施例进行说明,此处暂不赘述。
第三信息具体可以包括适用所述目标接口的可用性的时间信息,该时间信息可以由一个定时器(timer)来定义,也可以是一个时间的绝对值。该时间信息用于确定所述目标接口的可用性的生效时间或停止生效的时间。
且可选地,当可用性信息包括所述第三信息时,图1所示的方法还可以包括:基于协议规定、网络设备配置和预配置中的至少一种,确定所述第三信息。也即,可以基于协议规定、网络设备配置和预配置中的至少一种定义定时器的值或时间的绝对值。
例如,假如目标接口为PC5接口,PC5接口的可用性为不可用,且定时器值为5s,则在定时器超时后,PC5接口不可用信息开始生效或停止生效。或者,假如目标接口为Uu接口,Uu接口的可用性为不可用,且定时器值为5s,则在定时器超时后,Uu接口不可用信息开始生效或停止生效。
第四信息具体可以包括适用所述目标接口的可用性的副链路资源选择模式信息,副链路资源选择模式包括调度资源分配(Scheduled resource allocation)模式(mode1)和自主资源选择(autonomous resource selection)模式(mode2),其中,mode2又分为2a、2b、2c和2d四种。
例如,假设目标接口为PC5,第一信息包括PC5接口不可用,第四信息包括适用PC5接口不可用的副链路资源选择模式为mode2,或者说,AS层向上层上报的可用性信息包括“PC5not available+mode2”,意味着mode2下PC5接口不可用。
再如,假设目标接口为Uu,第一信息包括Uu接口不可用,第四信息包括适用Uu接口不可用的副链路资源选择模式为mode1,或者说,AS层向上层上报的可用性信息包括“Uu not available+mode1”,意味着mode1下Uu接口不可用。
第五信息具体包括所述第一终端设备的当前副链路资源选择模式信息。第一终端设备的当前副链路资源选择模式信息可以包括第一终端设备当前采用的副链路资源选择模式,且当前采用的副链路资源选择模式可以是上文中的mode1或mode2,当第一终端设备当前采用的副链路资源选择模式为mode2时,还可以是2a、2b、2c和2d中的任一个。
在本说明书实施例中,虽然是通过单独举例的方式对可用性信息中的第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息和第五信息的具体内容分别进行了说明,但应理解,当需要上报的可用性信息是第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息和第五信息中的多个时,可以通过组合的方式确定具体需要上报的可用性信息。
本公开实施例提供的一种接口可用性上报方法,由于第一终端设备的AS层可以向上层上报所述第一终端设备的目标接口的多种可用性信息,使得AS层向上层上报的接口的可用性信息清楚明确,从而可以帮助第一终端设备的上层更好地进行通信接口的选择,提高了通信有效性。
如图2所示,在另一实施例中,本公开实施例提供的一种接口可用性上报方法,还可以包括:

在第三个例子中,如果目标接口为PC5接口,所述预设信息包括所述第六信息,目标设备包括至少一个第二终端设备,且所述第一终端设备与目标设备之间的连接信息为组播连接信息(也即第一终端设备与第二终端设备之间的连接为组播连接),则步骤102可以包括:在所述第一终端设备与至少一个所述第二终端设备成功建立组播连接和/或组播连接正常时,确定所述目标接口可用。
在此基础上,可选地,图1或图2所示的接口可用性上报方法还可以包括:在满足第三预设条件时,确定所述第一终端设备与至少一个所述第二终端设备成功建立组播连接和/或组播连接正常。

一般情况下,如果第一终端设备与至少一个所述第二终端设备没有发生副链路失败或切换,即认为第一终端与至少一个所述终端设备之间的组播连接正常。
需要说明的是,成功建立组播连接可以理解为是对组播建立过程和结果的描述,组播连接正常可以看做是对已建立的组播连接的描述。
在第四个例子中,如果目标接口为PC5接口,所述预设信息包括所述第六信息,目标设备包括至少一个第二终端设备,且所述第一终端设备与目标设备之间的连接信息为组播连接信息(也即第一终端设备与第二终端设备之间的连接为组播连接),则步骤102可以包括:在所述第一终端设备与至少一个所述第二终端设备未成功建立组播连接和/或组播连接异常时,确定所述目标接口可用。
在此基础上,可选地,图1或图2所示的接口可用性上报方法还可以包括:在满足第四预设条件时,确定所述第一终端设备与至少一个所述第二终端设备未成功建立组播连接和/或组播连接异常。
其中,所述第四预设条件包括但不限于如下至少一种:

可选地,在上述第三个例子和第四例子的基础上,如果步骤101中上报的可用性信息包括第二信息,则所述第二信息具体可以包括但不限于如下至少一种:适用所述目标接口的可用性的链路类型为组播链路,以及所述目标接口的可用性对应的组播链路信息。
其中,所述组播链路信息包括所述组播链路的链路ID、所述组播链路的数据承载ID、所述组播链路的控制承载ID、所述第一终端设备的ID和至少一个所述第二终端设备的ID中的至少一种。
例如,假如依据上述第三个例子确定PC5接口可用,则可用性信息中的第一信息可以包括PC5接口可用,可用性信息中的第二信息可以包括PC5接口可用适用于组播链路,以及PC5接口可用所对应的组播链路的链路信息包括组播链路的链路ID、组播链路的数据承载ID、组播链路的控制承载ID、该组播链路中的第一终端设备的ID和第二终端设备的ID等信息。

需要说明的是,在上述第一个例子至第四个例子中,第一终端设备可以是副链路业务中的源(Source)终端设备,第二终端设备可以是任意的终端设备,第二终端设备也可以是副链路业务中的目标(Destination)终端设备(也可以称为对端终端设备),且第二终端设备既可以是第一终端设备发送业务数据的对端终端设备,也可以是第一终端设备发送控制信息的对端终端设备。
下面通过第五个例子和第六个例子,对如何基于第六信息确定Uu接口的可用性,以及对应上报的第二信息的具体内容是什么进行说明。
在第五个例子中,如果目标接口为Uu接口,所述预设信息包括所述第六信息,目标设备包括网络设备,且所述第一终端设备与目标设备之间的连接信息为RRC连接信息,则步骤102可以包括:在所述第一终端设备与所述网络设备之间成功建立RRC连接和/或RRC连接正常时,确定所述目标接口可用。
相应的,图1或图2所示的方法还可以包括:在满足第五预设条件时,确定所述第一终端设备与所述网络设备之间成功建立RRC连接和/或RRC连接正常。
其中,所述第五预设条件包括但不限于如下至少一种:

所述第一终端设备收到所述网络设备发送的消息B;
所述第一终端设备收到所述网络设备发送的RRC连接建立消息;

需要说明的是,消息4是4步随机接入过程中的第四步收到的消息msg4,消息B是2步随机接入过程中的第二步收到的消息,寻呼(paging)消息可能为无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)的paging消息,也可能为核心网的paging消息。
需要说明的是,成功建立RRC连接可以理解为是对RRC建立过程和结果的描述,RRC连接正常可以看做是对已建立的RRC连接的描述。
在第六个例子中,如果目标接口为Uu接口,所述预设信息包括所述第六信息,目标设备包括网络设备,且所述第一终端设备与目标设备之间的连接信息为RRC连接信息,则步骤102可以包括:在所述第一终端设备与所述网络设备之间未成功建立RRC连接和/或RRC连接异常时,确定所述目标接口可用。
相应的,图1或图2所示的方法还可以包括:在满足第六预设条件时,确定所述第一终端设备与所述网络设备之间未成功建立RRC连接和/或RRC连接异常。
其中,所述第六预设条件包括但不限于如下至少一种:

所述第一终端设备触发了波束失败恢复过程。
需要说明的是,未成功建立RRC连接可以理解为是对RRC建立过程和结果的描述,RRC连接异常可以看做是对已建立的RRC连接的描述。
可选地,在上述第五个例子和第六例子的基础上,如果步骤101中上报的可用性信息包括第二信息,则所述第二信息具体可以包括所述第一终端设备的RRC状态信息。其中,RRC状态可以包括连接态(connected)、空闲态(idle)或非激活态(Inactive)。并且与上报第一信息类似,在具体上报时,也可以利用1bit来指示第一终端设备的RRC状态信息。
在此基础上,举例来说,如果步骤101中上报的可用性信息包括第一信息和第二信息,其中第一信息具体包括Uu接口不可用,第二信息包括第一终端设备的RRC状态为空闲态,也即可用性信息包括“Uu not available+idle”,则意味着,第一终端设备的RRC连接处于空闲态,第一终端设备的Uu接口不可用,需要触发第一终端设备的RRC状态进入连接态,才能使Uu接口可用;如果可用性信息包括“Uu not available+connected”,意味着Uu接口完全不可用。
下面通过第七个例子,对基于来自网络设备的第七信息,确定Uu接口的可用性的过程进行说明。
在第七个例子中,目标接口为Uu接口,所述预设信息包括所述第七信息,且所述第七信息包括但不限于如下至少一种:来自网络设备的第一调度信息、来自网络设备的第一配置信息和来自网络设备的第二配置信息。
第一调度信息用于向所述第一终端设备调度副链路资源,且所述第一调 度信息中携带用于确定所述目标接口的可用性的信息。
也即网络设备在通过第一调度信息对mode1下的第一终端设备进行副链路资源调度时,可以在第一调度信息中额外增加1bit或多个bits来指示Uu接口可用或不可用。
第一配置信息用于指示所述目标接口的可用性。
也即网络设备可以利用专门的配置信息向第一终端设备指示Uu接口可用或不可用,具体可以用1bit来指示。
第二配置信息用于向所述第一终端设备配置副链路资源池和带宽部分(Band Width Part,BWP)中的至少一种,且所述第二配置信息中携带用于确定所述目标接口的可用性的信息。
也即网络设备可以在用于向第一终端设备配置副链路资源池和/或BWP的配置信息中携带用于确定所述Uu接口的可用性的信息。
可以理解,第一终端设备在接收到来自网络设备的第一调度信息、第一配置信息和第二配置信息之后,可以直接确定出Uu接口可用或不可用。
当然,网络设备还可以通过其他配置信息来携带用于确定所述目标接口的可用性的信息,本公开对此不做限制。
下面通过第八个例子,对基于来自网络设备的第七信息,确定PC5接口的可用性的过程进行说明。
在第八个例子中,目标接口为PC5接口,所述预设信息包括所述第七信息,且所述第七信息包括但不限于如下至少一种:来自网络设备的第二调度信息、来自网络设备的第三配置信息、来自网络设备的第四配置信息、来自网络设备的第五配置信息和来自网络设备的第六配置信息。
第二调度信息用于向所述第一终端设备调度副链路资源,且所述第二调度信息中携带用于确定所述目标接口的可用性的信息。
也即网络设备在通过第二调度信息对mode1下的第一终端设备进行副链路资源调度时,可以在第二调度信息中额外增加1bit或多个bits来指示PC5接口可用或不可用。
第三配置信息用于指示所述目标接口的可用性。
也即网络设备可以利用专门的配置信息向第一终端设备指示PC5接口可 用或不可用,具体可以用1bit来指示。
第四配置信息用于向所述第一终端设备配置预设资源,且所述第四配置信息中携带用于确定所述目标接口的可用性的信息。
也即网络设备可以在用于向第一终端设备配置副链路资源池和/或BWP的配置信息中携带用于确定所述PC5接口的可用性的信息。
可以理解,第一终端设备在接收到来自网络设备的第二调度信息、第三配置信息和第四配置信息之后,可以直接确定出PC5接口可用或不可用。
网络设备通过第二调度信息、第三配置信息和第四配置信息中的至少一个,指示PC5接口可用或不可用的方式,可以看作是一种显式的指示方式,而下面要解释的网络设备通过第五配置信息和/或第六配置信息指示PC5接口可用或不可用的方式,由于并没有直接在配置信息中携带用于确定所述PC5接口的可用性的信息,因此可以看作是一种隐式的指示方式。
对于第五配置信息而言,在所述第五配置信息中携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口可用;在所述第五配置信息中未携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口不可用。也即,可以通过第五配置信息中是否携带配置预设资源的信息来间接的指示PC5接口可用或不可用,具体的,如果携带了,则第五配置信息可以用于指示PC5接口可用,如果未携带,则第五配置信息可以用于指示PC5接口不可用。
当然,反过来也是可行的,也即在所述第五配置信息中携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口不可用;在所述第五配置信息中未携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口可用。
所述第六配置信息用于向所述第一终端设备配置预设资源,且在所述第六配置信息配置的预设资源不能实现所述第一终端设备与第二终端设备的通信时,所述第六配置信息用于确定所述目标接口不可用,在所述第六配置信息配置的预设资源能够实现所述第一终端设备与第二终端设备的通信时,所述第六配置信息用于确定所述目标接口可用。
也即,如果第六配置信息里面携带的资源配置信息所配置的资源可以让 第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信,则代表PC5接口可用。如果第六配置信息里面携带的资源配置信息所配置的资源无法让第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信,则代表PC5接口不可用。
通常情况下,当网络设备通过第六配置信息给第一终端设备配置了与第二终端设备不同的预设资源时,会导致不能实现所述第一终端设备与第二终端设备的通信。
其中,所述预设资源包括副链路资源池和BWP中的至少一种。
可以理解,第一终端设备在接收到来自网络设备的第五配置信息和第六配置信息之后,也可以确定出PC5接口可用或不可用。并且,由于第五配置信息和第六配置信息中没有增加额外的比特,因此还可以节约通信资源。
需要说明的是,第七个例子中所述的第一配置信息和第二配置信息,以及第八个例子中所述的第三配置信息至第六配置信息,可以是网络设备发送的专用信令,也可以是网络设备发送的广播消息。
还需要说明的是,第八个例子中所述的第四配置信息至第六配置信息,可以不同的配置信息,也可以是同一配置信息。
下面通过第九个例子,对基于第八信息确定目标接口的可用性的过程进行说明。
在第九个例子中,如果所述预设信息包括第八信息,则步骤102可以包括:基于所述第八信息与所述目标接口的可用性的映射关系,确定所述目标接口的可用性。其中,所述第八信息包括第一终端设备的当前副链路资源选择模式。
第九个例子既可以用于确定Uu接口的可用性,也可以用于确定PC5接口的可用性。
例如,可以预设置Uu接口与第一终端设备的当前副链路资源选择模式的映射关系,从而基于该映射关系确定出Uu接口的可用性。具体如,假如预设置的映射关系包括“Uu available+mode1”,这说明当第一终端设备的当前副链路资源选择模式为mode1时,第一终端设备的Uu接口可用。
再如,可以预设置PC5接口与第一终端设备的当前副链路资源选择模式的映射关系,从而基于该映射关系确定出PC5接口的可用性。具体如,假如 预设置的映射关系包括“PC5available+mode2”,这说明当第一终端设备的当前副链路资源选择模式为mode2时,第一终端设备的PC5接口可用,等等,本说明书不一一举例说明。
下面通过第十个例子,对基于第九信息确定目标接口的可用性的过程进行说明。
在第十个例子中,如果所述预设信息包括第九信息,则步骤102可以包括:基于所述第九信息与所述目标接口的可用性的映射关系,确定所述目标接口的可用性。
第九信息可以包括第一终端设备的RRC状态,其中,RRC状态可以包括连接态(connected)、空闲态(idle)或非激活态(Inactive)。
第十个例子既可以用于确定Uu接口的可用性,也可以用于确定PC5接口的可用性。
例如,可以预设置Uu接口与第一终端设备的RRC状态的映射关系,从而基于该映射关系确定出Uu接口的可用性。
具体如,假如预设置的映射关系包括“Uu available+connected”,说明当第一终端设备的RRC状态为连接态时,第一终端设备的Uu接口可用;或者,假如预设置的映射关系包括“Uu available+idle/Inactive”,说明当第一终端设备的RRC状态为空闲态或非激活态时,第一终端设备的Uu接口可用;或者,假如预设置的映射关系包括“Uu available+idle/Inactive+suitable cell”,说明当第一终端设备的RRC状态为空闲态或非激活态,且驻留在合适的小区时,第一终端设备的Uu接口可用,等等。
再如,假如预设置的映射关系包括“Uu not available+idle/Inactive”,说明当第一终端设备的RRC状态为空闲态或非激活态时,第一终端设备的Uu接口不可用;或者,假如预设置的映射关系包括“Uu not available+idle/Inactive+acceptable cell”,说明当第一终端设备的RRC状态为空闲态或非激活态,且驻留在可接受的小区时,第一终端设备的Uu接口不可用,等等。
又如,可以预设置PC5接口与第一终端设备的RRC状态的映射关系,从而基于该映射关系确定出PC5接口的可用性。具体如,假如预设置的映射关系包括“PC5 not available+idle”,这说明当第一终端设备的RRC状态为空 闲态时,第一终端设备的PC5接口不可用,等等。
可以理解,目标接口的可用性与第一终端设备的RRC状态的映射关系有很多种,本说明书不一一举例说明。
需要说明的是,虽然上文中通过十个例子对单独基于第六信息、第七信息、第八信息和第九信息,确定目标接口的可用性做了说明,但应理解,在实际应用中,可以同时基于第六信息、第七信息、第八信息和第九信息中的多个信息确定目标接口的可用性。
图2所示的实施例提供的一种接口可用性上报方法,由于不但可以上报详细的可用性信息,还提供了确定目标接口的可用性的具体方式,因此可以解决如何确定目标接口可用性的问题。
可选地,在上述任一实施例的基础上,如果所述目标接口为PC5,则本公开提供的一种接口可用性上报方法还可以包括:向所述上层上报所述第一终端设备采用广播方式通信时所述目标接口的可用性。
需要补充说明的是,第一终端设备的AS层向上层上报的可用性信息可以是第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息和第五信息的任意组合。
还需要补充说明的是,第一终端设备的AS层在向上层上报第一信息时,如果目标接口包括PC5接口和Uu接口,则可以用2bits联合指示第一信息,具体可以利用2bits中的1bit指示PC5接口可用或不可用,利用2bits中的剩余1bit指示Uu接口可用或不可用,这2bits的顺序可以是任意的,也可以由协议规定、预配置或由AS层的上层确定。
以及,在具体上报时,如果目标接口中的某一接口存在多种情况,则可以用多个bits对这多种情况下的该接口的可用性分别进行指示,且这多个bits的顺序也可以是任意的,或者可以由协议规定、预配置或由AS层的上层确定。例如,如果目标接口为PC5接口,且PC5存在单播和组播两种情况,那么可以用2bits联合指示第一信息,具体的,利用这2bits中的1bit指示单播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,利用2bits中的剩余1bit指示组播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,这2bits的顺序也可以是任意的。再如,如果目标接口为PC5接口,且PC5存在单播、组播和广播三种情况,那么可以用3bits联合指示第一信息,具体的,利用这3bits中的第一bit指示单播情况下的PC5 接口可用或不可用,利用3bits中的第二bit指示组播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,利用3bits中的第三bit指示广播情况下的PC5接口可用或不可用,这3bits的顺序也可以是任意的。
以上对应用于第一终端设备的接口可用性上报方法进行了说明,下面将结合图3对应用于网络设备的接口可用性指示方法进行说明。
如图3所示,本公开实施例还提供了一种接口可用性指示方法,应用于网络设备,所述方法包括:

在另一个例子中,如果所述目标接口包括PC5接口,所述指示信息包括第二调度信息、第三配置信息、第四配置信息、第五配置信息和第六配置信息中的至少一种。

可以理解,第一终端设备在接收到来自网络设备的第二调度信息、第三 配置信息和第四配置信息之后,可以直接确定出PC5接口可用或不可用。
网络设备通过第二调度信息、第三配置信息和第四配置信息中的至少一个,指示PC5接口可用或不可用的方式,可以看作是一种显式的指示方式,而下面要解释的网络设备通过第五配置信息和/或第六配置信息指示PC5接口可用或不可用的方式,由于并没有直接在配置信息中携带用于确定所述PC5接口的可用性的信息,因此可以看作是一种隐式的指示方式。
对于第五配置信息而言,在第五配置信息中携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口可用,在所述第五配置信息中未携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口不可用。
当然,反过来也是可行的,也即在所述第五配置信息中携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口不可用;在所述第五配置信息中未携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口可用。
所述第六配置信息用于向所述第一终端设备配置预设资源,且在所述第六配置信息配置的预设资源不能实现所述第一终端设备与第二终端设备的通信时,所述第六配置信息用于确定所述目标接口不可用,在所述第六配置信息配置的预设资源能够实现所述第一终端设备与第二终端设备的通信时,所述第六配置信息用于确定所述目标接口可用。
也即,如果第六配置信息里面携带的资源配置信息所配置的资源可以让第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信,则代表PC5接口可用。如果第六配置信息里面携带的资源配置信息所配置的资源无法让第一终端设备和第二终端设备通信,则代表PC5接口不可用。
通常情况下,当网络设备通过第六配置信息给第一终端设备配置了与第二终端设备不同的预设资源时,会导致不能实现所述第一终端设备与第二终端设备的通信。
其中,所述预设资源包括副链路资源池和BWP中的至少一种。
可以理解,第一终端设备在接收到来自网络设备的第五配置信息和第六配置信息之后,也可以确定出PC5接口可用或不可用。并且,由于第五配置 信息和第六配置信息中没有增加额外的比特,因此还可以节约通信资源。
需要说明的是,上述第一配置信息至第六配置信息,可以是网络设备发送的专用信令,也可以是网络设备发送的广播消息。
还需要说明的是,第四配置信息至第六配置信息可以是同一配置信息,也可以是不同配置信息。
图3所示的实施例提供的一种接口可用性指示方法,由于可以向第一终端设备发送用于确定第一终端设备的目标接口的可用性的指示信息,因此可以使第一终端设备据此确定出目标接口是否可用,解决了如何确定目标接口可用性的问题。

可以理解,由于上报的可用性信息包括第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、 第四信息和第五信息中的至少一种,因此,上报的可用性信息的具体内容存在第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息和第五信息的多种组合情况。下面先对第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息和第五信息分别进行说明。
第一信息具体可以包括所述目标接口的可用或不可用。

在本说明书实施例中,虽然是通过单独举例的方式对可用性信息中的第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息和第五信息的具体内容分别进行了说明,但应理解,当需要上报的可用性信息是第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息和第五信息中的多个时,可以通过组合的方式确定具体需要上报的可用性信息。
本公开实施例提供的第一终端设备400,由于第一终端设备的AS层可以向上层上报所述第一终端设备的目标接口的多种可用性信息,使得AS层向 上层上报的接口的可用性信息清楚明确,从而可以帮助第一终端设备的上层更好地进行通信接口的选择,提高了通信有效性。

对于第五配置信息而言,在所述第五配置信息中携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口可用;在所述第五配置信息中未携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口不可用。也即,可以通过第五配置信息中是否携带配置预设资源的信息来间接的指示PC5接口可用或不可用,具体的,如果携带了,则第五配置信息可以用于指示PC5接口可用,如果未携带,则第五配置信息可以用于指示PC5接口不可用。
当然,反过来也是可行的,也即在所述第五配置信息中携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口不可用;在所述第五配置信息中未携带用于配置预设资源的信息时,所述第五配置信息可以用于确定所述目标接口可用。

通常情况下,当网络设备通过第六配置信息给第一终端设备配置了与第二终端设备不同的预设资源时,会导致不能实现所述第一终端设备与第二终端设备的通信。
其中,所述预设资源包括副链路资源池和BWP中的至少一种。
可以理解,第一终端设备在接收到来自网络设备的第五配置信息和第六配置信息之后,也可以确定出PC5接口可用或不可用。并且,由于第五配置信息和第六配置信息中没有增加额外的比特,因此还可以节约通信资源。
需要说明的是,第七个例子中所述的第一配置信息和第二配置信息,以及第八个例子中所述的第三配置信息至第六配置信息,可以是网络设备发送的专用信令,也可以是网络设备发送的广播消息。
