一种通信方法、装置、系统及存储介质
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2019年02月13日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910112807.7、发明名称为“一种通信方法、装置、系统及存储介质”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法、装置、系统及存储介质。
背景技术
在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中,物理小区标识(physical cell identity,PCI)是无线小区的一个基本参数,用于区分不同的小区,一个小区可以对应一个PCI。在LTE系统中,小区的数量较多,但在目前的协议规范中,一共定义了504个PCI,因此,会出现PCI复用的情况,当小区复用PCI时可能会出现PCI冲突问题。
为了避免或减少PCI冲突,在LTE系统中引入了PCI冲突检测与重分配,主要是基站通过交互各基站下的小区的PCI信息来检测是否发生PCI冲突。
然而,随着第五代(5th-Generation,5G)网络的快速发展,在新空口(new radio,NR)系统下引入了波束相关的特性,其中,波束相关的特性可能会影响PCI分配,若仍沿用LTE系统中通过检测小区的PCI来检测PCI是否冲突,仍存在终端切换的成功率较低、掉话率较高的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信方法、装置、系统及存储介质,用以减少PCI冲突,以实现提高终端切换的成功率。
第一方面,本申请提供一种通信方法,该方法包括第一接入网设备确定第一小区的第一PCI和第二小区的第二PCI发生冲突,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备和/或集中式管理节点发送指示信息,其中,第一PCI对应第一同步广播信号块(synchronization signal and PBCH block,SSB),第二PCI对应第二SSB,指示信息可用于指示第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突,集中式管理节点用于管理第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备。
基于该方案,由于在NR系统中引入了SSB,第一PCI与第一SSB对应,第二PCI与第二SSB对应,第一接入网设备根据第一小区的第一PCI和第二小区的第二PCI来确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。如此,可实现对NR系统中SSB对应的PCI冲突的检测,有助于消除或减小NR网络中PCI冲突,从而可提高终端切换的成功率,进而可降低终端的掉话率。
在一种可能的情况下,第一小区对应一个第一PCI,第二小区对应一个第二PCI。
在另一种可能情况下,第一小区包括一个或多个第一SSB。在第一小区包括一个第一SSB的情况下,第一小区的第一PCI为第一SSB对应的第一PCI。在第一小区包括多个第 一SSB的情况下,第一小区的第一PCI可指多个第一SSB中的一个第一SSB对应的第一PCI。
类似地,第二小区可包括一个或多个第二SSB。在第二小区包括一个第二SSB的情况下,第二小区的第二PCI即为第二SSB对应的第二PCI。在第二小区包括多个第二SSB的情况下,第二小区的第二PCI可指多个第二SSB中的一个第二SSB对应的第二PCI。
可选地,第一小区属于第一接入网设备,且第二小区属于第二接入网设备,例如第一接入网设备是主节点,第一小区是主节点管理的小区,且第二接入网设备是辅节点,第二小区是辅节点管理的小区。又例如,第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备是不同的节点(如基站),且第一小区与第二小区分别由不同的节点管理。又例如,第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备是不同的集中式单元(central unit,CU),且第一小区与第二小区分别由不同的CU管理。
可选地,第一小区和第二小区都属于第一接入网设备。例如,第一接入网设备是主节点,第二接入网设备是辅节点,且第一小区和第二小区是该主节点管理的不同小区。又例如,第一接入网设备是基站,第一小区和第二小区是该基站管理的不同小区。
可选地,第一小区和第二小区都属于第二接入网设备。例如,第一接入网设备是CU,第二接入网设备是分布式单元(distributed unit,DU),且第一小区和第二小区是该DU管理的不同小区。又例如,第一接入网设备是主节点,第二接入网设备是辅节点,且第一小区和第二小区是该辅节点管理的不同小区。又例如,第二接入网设备是基站,第一小区和第二小区是该基站管理的不同小区。
可选地,第一小区属于第二接入网设备,且第二小区属于第三接入网设备,其中,第二接入网设备和第三接入网设备都由第一接入网设备管理。例如,第一接入网设备是CU,第二接入网设备与第三接入网设备是该CU管理的不同DU,则第一小区与第二小区分属不同的DU管理。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备获取第一小区对应的SSB信息和第二小区对应的SSB信息,第一小区对应的SSB信息包括第一PCI,第二小区对应的SSB信息包括第二PCI。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,第一小区对应的SSB信息还包括第一SSB对应的频点,第二小区对应的SSB信息还包括第二SSB对应的频点。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,第一小区对应的SSB信息还可包括第一SSB的类型,第二小区对应的SSB信息还可包括第二SSB的类型,SSB(第一SSB或第二SSB)的类型为小区定义-同步广播信号块(cell defining SSB,CD-SBB)或非小区定义-同步广播信号块(non cell defining SSB,non CD-SSB)。如此,第一接入网设备可根据第二SSB的类型检测出发生冲突的第一PCI和第二PCI的冲突类型,而且,可优先选择修改non CD-SSB对应的PCI,有助于降低因修改PCI对终端设备接入接入网设备的影响。
基于上述SSB信息,在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备确定第一SSB和第二SSB相邻、第一SSB对应的频点和第二SSB对应的频点相同、且第一PCI和第二PCI相同时,可确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,第二小区对应的SSB信息还可包括第二SSB对应的MTC、第二SSB对应的SCS和第二SSB对应的时域中的任一个或任多个。第一小区对应的SSB信息还可包括第一SSB对应的MTC、第一SSB对应的SCS和第一SSB对应的时域中的 任一个或任多个。
基于另一种可能的实现方式中的SSB信息,第一接入网设备确定第一SSB与第二SSB相邻、且第一SSB对应的频点和/或测量时间配置(measurement timing configuration,MTC)和/或子载波间隔(subcarrier spacing,SCS)和/或时域(SSB occasion)分别与第二SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一SSB对应的第一PCI与第二SSB对应的第二PCI相同时,可确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。
其中,第一SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别与第二SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同,具体可指:第一SSB对应的频点与第二SSB对应的频点相同,第一SSB对应的MTC与第二SSB对应的MTC相同,第一SSB对应的SCS与第二SSB对应的SCS相同,第一SSB对应的SSB occasion与第二SSB对应的SSB occasion相同。
其中,第一SSB和第二SSB相邻包括两种情形。情形一,第一SSB和第二SSB直接相邻。情形二,第一SSB和第二SSB分别与第三SSB直接相邻,该情形二中,也可称为第一SSB和第二SSB间接相邻。
在一种可能的实现方式中,指示信息包括第二PCI、第二SSB对应的频点、第二SSB的类型、第二SSB对应的MTC、第二SSB对应的SCS、第二SSB对应的时域以及第二SSB对应的NCGI中的一种或多种。
示例性地,指示信息可包括第二PCI;或者,指示信息可包括第二PCI和第二SSB的类型;或者,指示信息可包括第二PCI和第二SSB对应的频点;或者,指示信息可包括第二PCI、第二SSB的类型和第二SSB对应的频点,或者指示信息还可包括其他可能的组合方式或其中任一种,本申请不做限定。基于指示信息的内容,可确定出需要修改的PCI。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可为CU,第二接入网设备和第三接入网设备可为DU,CU对应至少一个DU,CU支持分组数据汇聚协议层(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)的协议栈功能、无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)的协议栈功能和业务数据适应协议层(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)的协议栈功能中的至少一种,DU支持无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)的协议栈功能、媒体访问控制(medium access control,MAC)的协议栈功能和物理层(physical layer,PHY)的协议栈功能中的至少一种;在该情况下,第一接入网设备可通过F1接口向第二接入网设备发送指示信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可为主节点,第二接入网设备可为辅节点,一个主节点对应至少一个辅节点。基于不同的网络架构,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发指示信息的接口可能不同。比如,第一接入网设备可通过Xn接口向第二接入网设备发送指示信息;再比如,第一接入网设备可通过X2接口向第二接入网设备发送指示信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可修改第一PCI和/或第二PCI,以实现第一SSB对应的修改后的PCI和第二PCI不冲突。
进一步,为了提高第一接入网设备修改第一PCI和/或第二PCI的效率。第一接入网设备可获取第一PCI的范围信息和/或第二PCI范围信息,第一PCI的范围信息为第一小区可用的PCI的范围,第二PCI范围信息为第二小区可用的PCI范围。
具体地,在第一小区包括一个第一SSB的情况下,第一小区可用的PCI范围即为第一 SSB可用的PCI范围。在第一小区包括多个第一SSB的情况下,第一小区可用的PCI范围指多个第一SSB中的各个第一SSB可用的PCI范围。相应地,在第二小区包括一个第二SSB的情况下,第二小区可用的PCI范围即为第二SSB可用的PCI范围。在第二小区包括多个第二SSB的情况下,第二小区可用的PCI范围指多个第二SSB中的各个第二SSB可用的PCI范围。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备中可维护有一个可用的PCI集,第一接入网设备可以使用PCI集中任意一个PCI。如此,第一接入网设备可从维护的PCI集中选取一个可用的PCI替换第一PCI和/或第二PCI,不需要第二接入网设备向OAM索要可用的PCI,也有助于提高修改冲突PCI的效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,集中式管理节点可以为操作管理和维护(opertation administration and maintenance,OAM)设备。
第二方面,本申请提供一种通信方法,该方法包括第二接入网设备接收来自第一接入网设备的指示信息,第二接入网设备根据指示信息修改第二PCI。其中,指示信息用于指示第一小区的第一PCI和第二小区的第二PCI发生冲突,第一PCI对应第一SSB,第二PCI对应第二SSB。
基于该方案,由于在NR系统中引入了SSB,第一PCI对应第一SSB,第二PCI对应第二SSB,第二接入网设备收到的指示信息用于指示第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突,第二接入网设备可根据指示信息修改第二PCI,以使第二SSB对应的修改后的PCI与第一PCI不冲突,如此,有助于消除或减小NR网络中PCI冲突,从而可提高终端切换的成功率,进而可降低终端的掉话率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一小区属于第一接入网设备,且第二小区属于第二接入网设备;或者,第一小区和第二小区都属于第一接入网设备;或者,第一小区和第二小区都属于第二接入网设备;或者,第一小区属于第二接入网设备,且第二小区属于第三接入网设备,其中,第二接入网设备和第三接入网设备都由第一接入网设备管理。

在一种可能的实现方式中,第二接入网设备可根据指示信息确定第二SSB,并修改第二SSB对应的第二PCI。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二接入网设备中可维护有一个可用的PCI集,第二接入网设备可以使用PCI集中任意一个PCI。如此,第二接入网设备也可从维护的PCI集中选取一个可用的PCI替换第二PCI,不需要第二接入网设备向OAM索要可用的PCI,也有助于提高修改冲突PCI的效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二小区对应的SSB信息还包括第二SSB对应的频点和/或第二SSB的类型,其中,第二SSB的类型为CD-SBB或non CD-SSB。
在一种可能的实现方式中,指示信息包括第二PCI和第二SSB的类型。在又一种可能的实现方式中,指示信息包括第二PCI和第二SSB对应的频点。在又一种可能的实现方式中,指示信息包括第二PCI、第二SSB的类型和第二SSB的对应的频点。

在另一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备为主节点,第二接入网设备为辅节点,一个主节点对应至少一个辅节点。在该场景下,一种情况为第二接入网设备可通过Xn接口接收来自第一接入网设备的指示信息;另一种情况为第二接入网设备可通过X2接口接收来自第一接入网设备的指示信息。

在介绍本申请的方法之前,首先对本申请所涉及的应用场景进行进一步的介绍说明,以便于理解本方案。需要说明的是,该部分内部也作为本申请的发明内容的一部分可选地的内容。
在一种可能的实现方式中,一个接入网设备下可有一个或多个小区,每个小区可以对应一个PCI。进一步地,一个小可以区对应一个或多个SSB。当一个小区对应一个SSB时,小区的PCI即为该小区下的SSB对应的PCI,也可以理解为,SSB对应的PCI为SSB所属的小区的PCI。当一个小区对应多个SSB时,一个SSB对应一个PCI,小区的PCI为多个SSB中的一个SSB对应的PCI。在一种可能的实现方式中,也可以将一个SSB认为是一个虚拟的小区,即一个虚拟的小区对应一个PCI。
在一种可能的实现方式中,一个SSB对应一个频点。在接入网设备的载波的频率范围内,可以传输多个SSB,在不同的频率位置传输的SSB的PCI可以不是唯一的,例如,不同频率位置上的SSB可能具有不同的PCI。当SSB与保存的最小系统消息(remaining minimum system information,RMSI)关联时,SSB可对应一个独立的小区,具有唯一的NR小区全球唯一标识(NR cell global identifier,NCGI),具有唯一NCGI的SSB可称为CD-SSB。在另一种可能的实现方式中,一个小区可对应多个SSB时,可以根据SSB是否有对应的NCGI分为CD-SBB或non CD-SSB,对应有NCGI的可称为CD-SBB,没有对应NCGI的SSB可称为non CD-SSB,一个小区可包括一个CD-SBB和至少一个non CD-SSB。其中,CD-SBB或non CD-SSB也称为SSB的类型。
示例性地,在本申请中,将不同的接入网设备示意为第一接入网设备,第二接入网设备和第三接入网设备。例如,在CU-DU场景下,第一接入网设备可以为CU,且第二接入网设备与第三接入网设备为该CU管理的不同DU。又例如,在MR-DC场景下,第一接入网设备可以为主节点,且第二接入网设备/第三接入网设备为辅节点。
示例性地,在本申请中,将PCI发生冲突的小区称为第一小区与第二小区,且第一小区下的任一SSB,称为第一SSB,第一SSB对应的PCI,称为第一PCI。第二小区下的任一SSB称为第二SSB,第二SSB对应PCI,称为第二PCI。可以理解,在不同的组网场景中,第一小区和第二小区对应的接入网设备不同。例如,在上述CU-DU场景下,第一小区属于第二接入网设备,且第二小区属于第三接入网设备。在上述MR-DC场景下,第一小区属于第一接入网设备,且第二小区属于第二接入网设备/第三接入网设备。
本申请中,对于第一小区的第一PCI和第二小区的第二PCI发生冲突的可有如下定义:
可能的定义:第一小区和第二小区相邻,第一小区对应的频点和第二小区对应的频点相同,且第一小区的PCI和第二小区的PCI相同。其中,第一小区和第二小区相邻,包括第一小区和第二小区直接相邻;或者,第一小区和第二小区分别于第三小区直接相邻,且第一小区和第二小区不直接相邻,该情况下也成为第一小区和第二小区间接相邻。
本申请中,也可基于第一小区下的第一SSB和第二小区下的第二SSB,对第一SSB对应的第一PCI,与第二SSB对应的第二PCI发生冲突的可进行如下定义:
可能的定义一:第一SSB和第二SSB相邻、第一SSB对应的频点和第二SSB对应的频点相同、且第一PCI和第二PCI相同。
本申请中,第一SSB和第二SSB相邻包括第一SSB和第二SSB直接相邻;或者,第一SSB和第二SSB分别与第三SSB直接相邻,且第一SSB和第二SSB不直接相邻,该情况下也称为第一SSB和第二SSB间接相邻。可选地,直接相邻包括地理位置上相邻和/或信号覆盖区域的重叠。如图2所示,为本申请提供的一种第一SSB和第二SSB直接相邻的示意图。如图2a所示,为本申请提供的一种第一SSB和第二SSB间接相邻的示意图,其中,第一SSB与第三SSB直接相邻、第二SSB与第三SSB直接相邻、且第一SSB和第二SSB不直接相邻。
可能的定义二,第一SSB与第二SSB相邻、且第一SSB对应的频点和/或测量时间配置(measurement timing configuration,MTC)和/或子载波间隔(subcarrier spacing,SCS)和/或时域(SSB occasion)与第二SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一SSB对应的第一PCI与第二SSB对应的第二PCI相同。
其中,第一SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二SSB对应 的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同,具体可指:第一SSB对应的频点与第二SSB对应的频点相同,和/或,第一SSB对应的MTC与第二SSB对应的MTC相同,和/或,第一SSB对应的SCS与第二SSB对应的SCS相同,和/或,第一SSB对应的SSB occasion与第二SSB对应的SSB occasion相同。其中,第一SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion可表示如下可能的组合方式:第一SSB对应的频点、第一SSB对应的MTC,第一SSB对应的SCS、第一SSB对应的SSB occasion、第一SSB对应的频点和MTC、第一SSB对应的频点和SCS、第一SSB对应的频点和SSB occasion、第一SSB对应的MTC和SCS、第一SSB对应的MTC和SSB occasion、第一SSB对应的SCS和SSB occasion以及第一SSB对应的频点和MTC和SCS和SSB occasion。同理,第二SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion也有多种可能的组合方式,组合方式可参见上述第一SSB的组合方式,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,直接相邻的SSB的PCI冲突称为PCI碰撞(PCI collision),间接相邻的SSB的PCI冲突也可以称为PCI混淆(PCI confusion),具体名字本申请在此不限定。其中,直接相邻可以理解为终端设备能测量到的小区均为直接相邻,间接相邻可以理解为终端设备测量到的小区与服务小区的邻区为间接相邻。
本申请提供的如下两种确定第一SSB和第二SSB相邻(包括直接相邻和间接相邻)的方式。
实现方式一,若第一SSB所属的小区与第二SSB所属的小区相邻,则确定第一SSB与第二SSB相邻。
示例性地,第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备交互的信息中可包括服务小区和服务小区的邻区。比如,服务小区是第二接入网设备的小区1,服务小区的邻区是小区2和小区3,第一接入网设备收到第二接入网设备发送的该信元后,可确定第一接入网设备下的小区包括的SSB与小区1包括的SSB直接相邻,第一接入网设备下的小区包括的SSB与小区2包括的SSB和小区3包括的SSB均为间接相邻。该示例性中的SSB可以是CD-SSB,也可以是non CD-SSB。
实现方式二,接入网设备可以定义一个信元,该信元用于指示与服务SSB(如第二SSB)相邻的SSB,第一接入网设备收到第二接入网设备发送的信息中包括定义的该信元,可根据定义的该信元分别确定与服务SSB(如第二SSB)直接相邻的SSB、以及与服务SSB间接相邻的SSB。该示例性中的服务SSB可以是CD-SSB,也可以是non CD-SSB,与该服务SSB相邻的SSB也可以是CD-SSB,或者也可以是non CD-SSB。

情形A-2,CD-SBB之间的PCI混淆。
具体可为:第一CD-SSB与第二CD-SSB间接相邻、且第一CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一CD-SSB对应的第一PCI与第二CD-SSB对应的第二PCI相同。
情形B,non CD-SSB之间的PCI冲突。
该情形下,第一SSB为第一non CD-SSB,第二SSB为第二non CD-SSB,根据第一non CD-SSB和第二non CD-SBB之间直接相邻或者间接相邻,可分为情形B-1和情形B-2。
情形B-1,non CD-SSB之间的PCI碰撞。
具体可为:第一non CD-SSB与第二non CD-SSB直接相邻、且第一non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一non CD-SSB对应的第一PCI与第二non CD-SSB对应的第二PCI相同。
情形B-2,non CD-SSB之间的PCI混淆;
具体可为:第一non CD-SSB与第二non CD-SSB间接相邻、且第一non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一non CD-SSB对应的第一PCI与第二non CD-SSB对应的第二PCI相同。
情形C,CD-SBB和non CD-SSB之间的PCI冲突。
该情形下,第一SSB为第一non CD-SSB,第二SSB为第二CD-SSB,根据第一non CD-SSB和第二CD-SBB之间直接相邻或者间接相邻,可分为情形C-1和情形C-2;或者,第一SSB为第一CD-SSB,第二SSB为第二non CD-SBB,根据第一CD-SSB和第二non CD-SBB之间直接相邻或者间接相邻,也可分为情形C-1和情形C-2。
情形C-1,CD-SBB和non CD-SSB之间的PCI碰撞。
具体可为:第一CD-SSB与第二non CD-SSB直接相邻、且第一CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一CD-SSB对应的第一PCI与第二non CD-SSB对应的第二PCI相同;
或者,第一non CD-SSB与第二CD-SSB直接相邻、且第一non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一non CD-SSB对应的第一PCI与第二CD-SSB对应的第二PCI相同。
情形C-2,CD-SBB和non CD-SSB之间的PCI混淆。
具体可为:第一CD-SSB与第二non CD-SSB间接相邻、且第一CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一CD-SSB对应的第一PCI与第二non CD-SSB对应的第二PCI相同;
或者,第一non CD-SSB与第二CD-SSB间接相邻、且第一non CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion与第二CD-SSB对应的频点和/或MTC和/或SCS和/或SSB occasion分别相同、且第一non CD-SSB对应的第一PCI与第二CD-SSB对应的第二PCI相同。
在第一SSB和第二SSB满足上述三种情形中的任一种情形时,确定第一SSB对应的第一PCI和第二SSB对应的第二PCI发生冲突、且可确定出发生的是PCI碰撞还是PCI混淆。当出现PCI碰撞时,终端可能会检测到第一SBB和第二SSB中的一个,终端接入检测到的SSB,但是可能会受到另一个SSB较大的干扰,或者终端可能将无法接入到这个两个干扰的第一SBB和第二SSB中的任何一个,造成掉话。当出现PCI混淆时,如果终端请求切换到第一SSB,但是接入网设备不知道哪个是第一SSB,可能出现接入网设备仅知道其中一个SSB,有可能使终端向错误的SSB进行切换,从而造成终端切换失败。

结合上述场景一中的图1a,若gNB101a为第一接入网设备,gNB102a为第二接入网设备,可以是gNB101a通过Xn-C接口向gNB102a发送指示信息。相应地,gNB102a通过Xn-C接口接收来自于gNB101a的指示信息。
结合上述场景一中的图1b,若LTE eNB101b为第一接入网设备,LTE eNB102b为第二接入网设备,可以是LTE eNB101b通过X2-C接口向LTE eNB102b发送指示信息。相应地,LTE eNB102b通过X2-C接口接收来自于LTE eNB101b的指示信息。
结合上述场景二中的网络架构一,LTE eNB101c为第一接入网设备,NR gNB102c为第二接入网设备,LTE eNB101c可通过X2-C接口向NR gNB102c发送指示信息。相应地,NR gNB102c可通过X2-C接口从LTE eNB101c接收指示信息。结合场景二中的情形1的指示信息的收发可参见结合场景二中的网络架构一的介绍,此处不再赘述。结合上述场景二中的网络架构二中的情形2.1,NR gNB101d为第一接入网设备,ng-eNB102d为第二接入网设备,NR gNB101d可通过Xn-C接口向ng-eNB102d发送指示信息。相应地,ng-eNB102d可通过Xn-C接口接收来自NR gNB101d的指示信息。结合上述场景二中的网络架构二中的情形2.2,ng-eNB101f为第一接入网设备,NR gNB102f为第二接入网设备,ng-eNB101f可通过Xn-C接口向NR gNB102f发送指示信息。相应地,NR gNB102f可通过Xn-C接口接收来自ng-eNB101f的指示信息。
结合上述场景三,在CU-DU场景下,可包括如下三种可能的实现方式,如下三种可能的实现方式均为可选地步骤。也可以理解为,结合上述场景三,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备和/或OAM发指示信息为可选步骤。
结合上述场景三,一种可能的实现方式中,CU为第一接入网设备,DU为第二接入网设备。针对上述场景三中的情形一,gNB-1中的CU101e可通过F1接口向gNB-1中的DU102e发送指示信息。相应地,gNB-1中的DU102e可通过F1接口接收来自gNB-1中的CU101e的指示信息。针对上述场景三中的情形二,gNB-1中的CU101e可先通过Xn-C接口向gNB-2中的CU101e发送指示信息,之后gNB-2中的CU101e通过F1接口向gNB-2中的DU102e发送指示信息。相应地,gNB-2中的DU102e接收来自gNB-1中的CU101e的指示信息。
结合上述场景三,另一种可能的实现方式中,CU为第二接入网设备,DU为第一接入网设备。在该实现方式中,DU可向OAM或者CU发送指示信息。相应地,OAM或者CU接收来自DU的指示信息。
结合上述场景三,又一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备均为CU,针对上述场景三中的情形三,gNB-1中的CU101e可通过Xn-C接口向gNB-2中的CU101e发送指示信息,该实现方式与上述场景二中的Ng-eNB102d与NR gNB101d的过程相同。
在上述三种场景中,指示信息可以通过X2-C或Xn-C或F1的接口现有消息发送,或者,也可通过新定义的消息发送,本申请不做限定。
从上述步骤301至步骤302可以看出,第一接入网设备可以根据第一小区对应的第一PCI、第二小区对应的第二PCI来确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突,其中,第一PCI对 应第一SSB、第二PCI对应第二SSB。如此,可实现NR系统中SSB对应的PCI冲突的检测,有助于消除或减小NR网络中PCI冲突,从而可提高终端切换的成功率,进而可降低终端的掉话率。且由于第一小区和第二小区可以分属于不同的接入网设备或者属于同一个接入网设备管理,本申请提供的通信方法适用于多种组网场景,灵活度高。
在上述步骤301之前,一种可能的实现方式中,第一小区属于所述第一接入网设备且所述第二小区属于所述第二接入网设备,第一接入网设备可以通过与第二接入网设备之间的接口获取第二小区对应的SSB信息;或者,第一接入网设备可以通过与终端设备之间的空口获取第二小区对应的SSB的信息。第二小区对应的SSB信息可包括第二SSB对应的PCI、第二SSB对应的频点、第二SSBSSB对应的MTC、第二SSB对应的SCS、第二SSB对应的类型(例如CD-SSB、non CD-SSB)、第二SSB对应的时域等的一种或多种。
示例性地,第二接入网设备可向第一接入网设备发送第二小区对应的SSB信息,可以是第二接入网设备直接向第一接入网设备发送第二小区对应的SSB信息,也可以是第二接入网设备向中继设备发送第二小区对应的SSB信息,中继设备将第二小区对应的SSB信息透传至第一接入网设备。
相应地,第一接入网设备可接收来自于第二接入网设备发送的第二小区对应的SSB信息。一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可基于接收的第二小区对应的SSB信息和第一小区对应的SSB信息,确定第一PCI和第二PCI是否发生冲突,可以理解的是,上述步骤301是在获取到第二小区对应的SSB信息后执行的。
结合上述场景一,第二接入网设备可通过Xn-C接口向第一接入网设备发送第二小区对应的SSB信息。相应地,第一接入网设备可通过Xn-C接口接收来自第二小区对应的SSB信息。
结合上述场景二中的网络架构一,第二接入网设备可通过X2-C接口向第一接入网设备发送第二小区对应的SSB信息。相应地,第一接入网设备可通过X2-C接口接收来自第二小区对应的SSB信息。结合上述场景二中的网络架构二的两种情形,第二接入网设备可通过Xn-C接口向第一接入网设备发送第二小区对应的SSB信息。相应地,第一接入网设备可通过Xn-C接口接收来自第二小区对应的SSB信息。
结合上述场景三,在CU为第一接入网设备,DU为第二接入网设备的情况下。示例性地,结合上述场景三中的情形一,gNB-1中的DU102e可通过F1接口向gNB-1中的CU101e发送SSB信息。相应地,gNB-1中的CU101e可通过F1接口接收来自gNB-1中的DU102e对应的SSB信息。结合上述场景三中的情形二,gNB-2中的DU102e可先通过F1接口向gNB-2中的CU101e发送gNB-2中的DU102e对应的SSB信息,之后gNB-2中的CU101e通过Xn-C接口向gNB-1中的CU101e发送接收到的gNB-2中的DU102e对应的SSB信息。相应地,gNB-1中的CU101e接收来自gNB-2中的DU102e对应的SSB信息。
示例性地,第一接入网设备为CU1,第二接入网设备为DU1,DU1是由CU1管理。若第一小区是DU1下的cell1,假设CU1确定出cell1的直接邻区是cell2,间接邻区是cell3和cell4,间接邻区cell3和cell4就是cell2的直接邻区,此时CU1会把cell2的PCI和对应的SSB信息、cell3的PCI和对应的SSB信息、cell4的PCI和对应的SSB信息发送给DU1,DU1来确定cell1的PCI与cell2的PCI、cell3的PCI、cell4的PCI之间是否发生冲突。
可选的,DU1可提前已经获知cell1的直接邻区是cell2,DU1向CU1发送cell2的标识,请求获取cell2的邻区,也即cell1的间接邻区,CU1向DU1返回cell2的PCI和对应 的SSB信息、cell3的PCI和对应的SSB信息、cell4的PCI和对应的SSB信息。
需要说明的是,第一小区的相邻小区(直接相邻的小区或间接相邻的小区)可以是由第一接入网设备确定。一种可能的实现方式中,第二接入网设备可向第一接入设备请求获取第一小区的相邻小区的PCI和对应的SSB信息。另一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可主动向第二接入网设备发送第一小区的相邻小区的PCI和对应的SSB信息。
结合上述场景三,在CU为第二接入网设备,DU为第一接入网设备的情况下,结合上述场景三中的情形一,gNB-1中的CU101e可通过F1接口向gNB-1中的DU102e发送gNB-1中的CU101e对应的SSB信息。相应地,gNB-1中的DU102e可通过F1接口接收来自gNB-1中的CU101e对应的SSB信息。结合上述场景三中的情形二,gNB-1中的CU101e通过Xn-C接口向gNB-2中的CU101e发送gNB-1中的CU101e对应的SSB信息,gNB-2中的CU101e通过F1接口向gNB-2中的DU102e发送接收gNB-1中的CU101e对应的SSB信息。

基于上述确定出的第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突,本申请提供如下三种实现方式来解决第一PCI与第二PCI冲突的问题。三种实现方式可单独实现,也可以组成实现,本申请对此不做限定。
实现方式一,第二接入网设备根据指示信息修改第二PCI。
基于该实现方式一,如图4所示,为本申请提供的另一种通信方法流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤。
步骤401,第一接入网设备确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。
该步骤401与上述图3实施例的步骤301相同,可参考前述描述。
步骤402,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送指示信息。
此处,指示信息可与述图3实施例的步骤302中的指示信息相同,可参考前述描述。进一步,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送指示信息的接口可参见上述步骤302中结合具体场景的介绍,此处不再赘述。
步骤403,第二接入网设备根据指示信息修改第二PCI。
一种可能的实现方式中,第二接入网设备根据指示信息确定第二SSB,并修改第二SSB对应的第二PCI。比如CD-SSB与non CD-SSB对应有相同的PCI时,第二接入网设备可根据指示信息中包括第二PCI和第二SSB的类型,确定需要修改CD-SSB对应的PCI,还是需要修改non CD-SSB对应的PCI。再比如,由于各SSB对应的频点不同,第二接入网设备可根据指示信息包括的第二PCI和第二SSB对应的频点,确定出需要修改第二SSB对应的PCI。再比如,第二接入网设备也可根据指示信息包括的第二SSB对应的频点、第二SSB的类型和第二PCI确定需要修改第二SSB对应的PCI。
其中,修改PCI需要满足两个要求:第一,不冲突(collision-free),即任何两个相邻的同频的SSB都不能使用同一个PCI。第二,不混淆(confusion-free),即同一个SSB的所有相邻的SSB中不能有任何两个同频的SSB使用相同的PCI。对于同一个接入网设备下的SSB,可将这些SSB作为特殊的直接相邻的SSB对待,即同一接入网设备下的任何两个或多个SSB的PCI也需要满足上述不混淆和不冲突的要求。
示例性地,第二接入网设备中维护有一个可用的PCI集,第二接入网设备可以使用PCI集中任意一个PCI。第二接入网设备根据指示信息以及PCI修改需要满足的上述两个要求,尝试将第二PCI修改为PCI集中可用的一个PCI,即选取一个可用的PCI替换第二PCI,如此,不需要第二接入网设备向OAM索要可用的PCI,有助于提高修改冲突PCI的效率。
步骤404,第二接入网设备向第一接入网设备发送修改后的第二PCI。
该步骤404为可选步骤。通过该步骤可以实现第一接入网设备及时更新第二SSB对应的PCI,以便于在终端切换时,为终端选择合适的SSB。
此处,第二接入网设备可通过接收指示信息的接口发送第二SSB对应的修改后的PCI。第二SSB对应的修改后的PCI也可以是新定义的消息,本申请不做限定。
上述图4所示的通信方法可以是上述图3所示的通信方法中的一种可能的示例。
实现方式二,OAM根据指示信息修改第一PCI或第二PCI。
基于该实现方式二,如图5所示,为本申请提供的另一种通信方法流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤501,第一接入网设备确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。
该步骤501与上述图3实施例的步骤301相同,可参考前述描述。
步骤502,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送指示信息。
该指示信息可与述图3实施例的步骤302中的指示信息相同,可参考前述描述。进一步,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送指示信息的接口可参见上述步骤302中结合具体场景的介绍,此处不再赘述。
步骤503,第二接入网设备向OAM发送指示信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二接入网设备向OAM发送指示信息,指示信息中除包 括上述步骤302中的内容,还可携带第二SSB所属的小区标识和/或第二接入网设备的标识。
步骤504,OAM根据指示信息修改第二PCI。
此处,OAM收到指示信息后,为第二SSB重新分配一个新的PCI,OAM为第二SSB分配新的PCI也需满足上述步骤403中的修改PCI需要满足的两个要求。
步骤505,OAM将修改后的PCI发送至第二接入网设备。
步骤506,第二接入网设备向第一接入网设备发送修改后的PCI。
该步骤为可选步骤,详细介绍可参见上述步骤404,此处不再赘述。
基于该实现方式二,如图6所示,为本申请提供的又一种通信方法流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤601,第一接入网设备确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。
该步骤601与上述图3实施例的步骤301相同,可参考前述描述。
步骤602,第一接入网设备向OAM发指示信息。
第一种可能的实现方式中,指示信息可在上述图3实施例的步骤302中的指示信息中再携带第二SSB所属的小区标识和/或第二SSB所属的小区所属的第二接入网设备的标识。
第二种可能的实现方式中,指示信息可还包括第一小区对应的SSB信息。可选地,第一小区对应的SSB信息可以包括:第一PCI和第一SSB的类型;或者,第一PCI和第一SSB对应的频点;或者,第一PCI、第一SSB的类型和第一SSB对应的频点;或者,第一PCI、第一SSB的类型和第一SSB对应的MTC;或者,指示信息可包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型和第一SSB对应的SCS;或者,第一小区对应的SSB信息可包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型和第一SSB对应的时域。可选地,指示信息还可携带第一SSB所属的小区标识和/或第一接入网设备的标识和/或第一SSB对应的NCGI。
第三种可能的实现方式中,指示信息可包括第一小区对应的SSB信息和第二小区对应的SSB信息。可选地,指示信息也可以包括第一PCI、第一SSB对应的频点、第二PCI和第二SSB对应的频点;或者,指示信息也可包括第一PCI、第一SSB对应的频点、第二PCI、第二SSB的类型;或者,指示信息也可包括第一PCI、第一SSB对应的频点、第二PCI、第二SSB的类型和第二SSB对应的频点;或者,指示信息也可包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型、第二PCI和第二SSB的类型;或者指示信息也可包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型、第二PCI和第二SSB对应的频点;或者,指示信息也可包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型、第二PCI、第二SSB的类型和第二SSB对应的频点;或者,指示信息也可以包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型、第一SSB对应的频点、第二PCI和第二SSB对应的频点;或者指示信息也可包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型、第一SSB对应的频点、第二PCI、第二SSB的类型;或者,指示信息也可以包括第一PCI、第一SSB的类型、第一SSB对应的频点、第二PCI、第二SSB的类型和第二SSB对应的频点;或者指示信息也可以是第一PCI、第一SSB的类型、第一SSB对应的MTC、第一SSB对应的SCS、第一SSB对应的时域以及第一SSB对应的NCGI中的一种或多种、与第二PCI、第二SSB的类型、第二SSB对应的MTC、第二SSB对应的SCS、第二SSB对应的时域以及第二SSB对应的NCGI中的一种或多种的其他可能的组合方式,本申请对此不做限定。可选地,指示信息还可包括第二SSB所属的小区标识和/或第二接入网设备的标识、以及第一SSB所属的小区标识和/或第一接入网设备的标识。
步骤603,OAM根据指示信息修改第一PCI或第二PCI。
示例性地,若指示信息为上述步骤602中第一种可能的实现方式,则OAM修改第二PCI,之后执行步骤604;若指示信息为上述步骤602中第二种可能的实现方式,则OAM修改第一PCI,之后执行步骤605;若指示信息为上述步骤602中第三种可能的实现方式,则OAM可以修改第一PCI也可以修改第二PCI,此处不做具体限定,若是修改了第一PCI,则之后也执行步骤604,若是修改第二PCI,则之后执行步骤605。
其中,OAM修改PCI的过程可参见上述步骤503中介绍,此处不再赘述。
步骤604,OAM向第一接入网设备发送修改后的第一PCI和/或修改后的第二PCI。
可选的,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送修改后的第二PCI。
可选的,OAM直接向第二接入网设备发送修改后的第二PCI。
实现方式三,第一接入网设备修改第一PCI和/或第二PCI。
如图7所示,为本申请提供的又一种通信方法流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤701,第一接入网设备确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。
该步骤701与上述图3实施例的步骤301相同,可参考前述描述。
步骤702,第一接入网设备修改第一PCI。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可获取第一PCI的范围信息和/或第二PCI的范围信息,可以根据第一PCI的范围信息和/或第二PCI范围信息来修改第一PCI和/或第二PCI,其中,第一PCI的范围信息为第一小区可用的PCI范围,第二PCI的范围信息为第二小区可用的PCI范围。如此,以提高第一接入网设备修改PCI的效率。
此处,第一接入网设备可修改第一PCI,也可修改第二PCI,或者也可修改第一PCI和第二PCI。第一接入网设备修改第一PCI,指的是第一接入网设备将第一SSB对应的第一PCI修改为与第二PCI不冲突的PCI,具体可以是:第一接入网设备可根据第一PCI的范围信息修改第一PCI。
示例性地,若第一PCI的范围信息为[PCI=1,PCI=90],则第一接入网设备修改第一PCI需在[PCI=1,PCI=90]的范围内选择一个PCI。第一接入网设备修改第二PCI,指第一接入网设备将第二PCI修改为与第一PCI不冲突的PCI,具体可以是:第一接入网设备可根据第二PCI的范围修改第二PCI。示例性地,若第二PCI的范围信息为[PCI=100,PCI=110],则第一接入网设备修改第一PCI需在[PCI=100,PCI=110]的范围内选择一个PCI。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可以向第二接入网设备发送指示信息,或者也可以向OAM发送指示信息,或者也可以向第二接入网设备和OAM均发送指示信息,或者也可以既不向第二接入网设备也不向OAM发送指示信息,本申请对此不做具体限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可将修改后的第一PCI发送至第二接入网设备,或者,第一接入网设备可将修改后的第二PCI发送至第二接入网设备。修改后的第一PCI或修改后的第二PCI的发送可以是通过第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送的指示信息中携带,或者也可以在一个新定义的消息,本申请不做限定。
需要说明的是,指示信息可用于指示第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。例如,可以直接指示发生冲突的第一PCI和第二PCI。也可以用于指示第一接入网设备修改后的PCI,修改后的PCI可以是修改第一SSB对应的第一PCI后的PCI,也可以是修改第二SSB对应的第二PCI后的PCI。
或者也可以指示第一接入网设备已解决第一PCI和第二PCI冲突,本申请对此不作具 体限定。
针对上述三种实现方式,若发生冲突的第一PCI和第二PCI是上述情形C中的CD-SBB和non CD-SSB之间的PCI冲突,则可优先选择修改non CD-SSB对应的PCI,以实现第一PCI和第二PCI不冲突。由于终端在进行小区选择时通常是基于CD-SSB的同步信号接入接入网设备的,non CD-SSB一般作为辅载波存在,一般用于进行测量,因此,优先选择修改non CD-SSB对终端接入的影响最小。
如图8所示,为本申请提供的另一种通信方法流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤801,第一接入网设备确定第一PCI和第二PCI发生冲突。
步骤802,第一接入网设备获取第一PCI的范围信息和/或第二PCI的范围信息。
其中,第一PCI的范围信息为第一小区可用的PCI范围,第二PCI的范围信息为第二小区可用的PCI范围。
在该步骤802中,第一接入网设备获取第一PCI的范围信息和/或第二PCI的范围信息可分如下四种情形。

步骤803,第一接入网设备可根据第一PCI的范围信息修改第一PCI,可根据第二PCI的范围信息修改第二PCI。
从上述步骤801至步骤803可以看出,第一接入网设备根据PCI的范围信息修改发生冲突的PCI,有助于提高第二接入网设备修改PCI的效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备可为CU,第二接入网设备可为DU。
