随着通信技术的发展,出现了既可以接入分组核心演进(the evolved packet core,EPC),又可以接入第五代核心网(the 5th generation core network,5GCN)的终端,其中,5GCN也可以称为5GC。
目前,相关标准规定:若上述终端在第五代通信技术(the 5 generation mobile communication technology,5G)网络中无法执行第一业务(如5G网络不支持第一业务,或者,在5G网络中终端不支持执行第一业务),则终端去使能该终端的N1模式(mode)能力,即去使能终端接入5GC的能力。
在这种情况下,若第四代通信技术(the 4 generation mobile communication technology,4G)网络支持第一业务,则终端接入EPC。为了避免将该终端切换/重定向至5GC,4G网络的接入网设备需要获知终端已经去使能N1模式能力。但是,目前还不存在接入网设备如何获知终端已经去使能N1模式能力的方法。

可选地,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,本申请提供的通信方法还包括:终端使能接入第一网络的能力,并向第二网络的接入网设备发送第二通知消息,第二通知消息用于指示终端支持第一网络的接入。
在终端已经去使能接入第一网络的能力的场景中,根据实际需求,该终端还可以重新使能接入第一网络的能力。当终端重新使能接入第一网络的能力时,该终端还可向第二网络的接入网设备发送第二通知消息。这样,第二网络的接入网设备即可获知终端使能接入第一网络,进而可将该终端切换至第一网络。
可选地,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,第一通知消息不包括第一无线能力信息,第一无线能力信息包括用于表示终端接入第一网络的空口能力的信息、用于表示终端从第二网络切换至第一网络的能力的信息、用于表示终端从第二网络重定向至第一网络的能力的信息、或者用于表示终端以双连接的方式接入到第一网络的能力的信息中的至少一种。
可选地,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,若第一网络为第五代通信技术5G网络,终端接入第一网络的空口能力包括终端支持通过演进通用陆地无线接入(evolved universal terrestrial radio access,E-UTRA)接入5G核心网的能力,以及终端支持通过新空口(new radio,NR)接入5G核心网的能力。
第二方面,提供一种通信装置,该通信装置能够实现第一方面及其任意一种可能的实现方式中的功能。这些功能可以通过硬件实现,也可以通过硬件执行相应的软件实现。硬件或软件包括一个或多个与上述功能相对应的模块。

在第二网络的接入网设备与终端建立通信连接的场景中,若第二网络的接入网设备未能从第二网络的核心网设备获取到终端的无线能力,则该第二网络的接入网设备与终端通信,以获取该终端的无线能力,这样,第二网络的接入网设备即可获知终端是否去使能接入第一网络。若第二网络的接入网设备获取到第二网络的核心网设备发送的用于指示不能将终端接入到第一网络的指示信息,则第二网络的接入网设备可根据该指示信息确定终端的无线能力。
可选地,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,第二网络的接入网设备还接收来自终端的第二通知消息,该第二通知消息用于指示终端支持第一网络的接入。

具体实施方式
在本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本申请实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
随着通信技术的发展,4G网络中的演进式基站(evolved node base station,eNB)可演进为下一代演进式基站(next generation eNB,ng-eNB)。ng-eNB通过E-UTRA技术为终端提供无线传输资源。ng-eNB可以为终端提供5GC的服务,也可以为终端提供EPC的服务。在实际部署中,ng-eNB可以仅仅与5GC/EPC连接,也可以同时与5GC和EPC连接。
5G网络的接入网(radio access network,RAN)称为下一代RAN(next generation ran,NG-RAN),NG-RAN节点包括ng-eNB和gNB(5G系统中的基站)。其中,gNB通过NR技术为5G UE提供无线传输资源,并为5G UE提供5GC的服务。后续,将4G系统中的UE称为4G UE,将4G系统中的eNB称为4G eNB,将5G系统的UE称为5G UE。
图1示出了常见的通信系统的结构。如图1所示,ng-eNB可通过S1接口接入到EPC,也可通过其他相应接口(图1中用NG表示)接入到5GC。相应的,与ng-eNB连接的5G UE可通过ng-eNB接入到5GC,与ng-eNB连接的4G UE可通过ng-eNB接入EPC。4G eNB与连接了EPC的ng-eNB之间通过X2接口连接,ng-eNB与gNB之间通过Xn接口连接。
在实际应用中上述多个设备之间的连接可能为无线连接,为了方便直观地表示各个设备之间的连接关系,图1中采用实线示意。
可以看出,5G UE可以通过gNB接入到5GC,也可以通过ng-eNB接入到5GC,还可以通过ng-eNB接入到EPC。
可选地,在图1的基础上,ng-eNB和/或gNB还可以为5G UE配置双连接(dual connectivity,DC)操作,并将5G UE接入到5GC。示例性的,图2和图3示出了ng-eNB与gNB进行双连接的通信系统。
图2示出的通信系统可以称为NEDC(NR E-UTRA DC)通信系统。
NEDC也称为Option 4/4A。在NEDC通信系统中,gNB为主站(master node,MN),ng-eNB为辅站(secondary node,SN),并且MN与5GC连接,MN与SN为“5G UE与5GC之间的数据”提供空口传输资源。
如图2所示,图2中的(a)为Option 4通信系统的结构示意图,图2中的(b)为Option 4A通信系统的结构示意图。Option 4通信系统中,gNB通过NG接口(包括NG-C接口和NG-U接口)与5GC连接,ng-eNB与gNB通过Xn接口连接。与Option 4通信系统不同的是,Option 4A通信系统中,ng-eNB还通过NG-U接口与5GC连接。为了便于区分,图2中用虚线表示控制面的连接。
图3示出的通信系统可以称为NG-ENDC(Next Generation E-UTRA NR DC)通信系统。
NG-ENDC也称为Option 7/7A/7X。在NG-ENDC通信系统中,ng-eNB为MN,gNB为SN,并且MN与5GC连接,MN与SN为“终端与5GC之间的数据”提供空口传输资源。
如图3所示,图3中的(a)为Option 7通信系统的结构示意图,图3中的(b)为Option 7A通信系统的结构示意图。Option 7通信系统中,ng-eNB通过NG接口(包括NG-C接口和NG-U接口)与5GC连接,ng-eNB与gNB通过Xn接口连接。与Option 7通信系统不同的是,Option 7A通信系统中,gNB还通过NG-U接口与5GC连接。为了便于区分,图3中用虚线表示控制面的连接。
在实际应用中,还存在支持MN和SN均为gNB的双连接通信系统,这里不再一一进行描述。
通常情况下,上述5G UE的协议栈包括物理层(physical layer,PHY层)、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层和非接入(non-access stratum,NAS)层。其中,PHY层,MAC层,RLC层,PDCP层,以及RRC层可属于接入(access stratum,AS)层,AS层用于实现终端与接入网设备之间的通信,NAS层用于实现终端与核心网设备之间的通信。
可选地,5G UE的NAS层可视为包括与演进分组系统(evolved packet system,EPS)对应的EPS NAS层和与5G系统(5G system,5GS)对应的5GS NAS层。EPS NAS层可生成用于接入EPC网络的NAS消息,5GS NAS层可生成用于接入5GC的NAS消息。此外,EPS和5GS可以共用PHY层、MAC层、RLC层、PDCP层以及RRC层。图4中的(a)示出了5G UE的这一协议栈结构。
或者,5G UE的NAS层可视为包括与演进分组系统(evolved packet system,EPS)对应的EPS NAS层和与5G系统(5G system,5GS)对应的5GS NAS层,RRC层可视为包括与EPS对应的EPS RRC层和与5GS对应的5GS RRC层。EPS NAS层和5GS NAS层的功能可以参考上述描述。EPS RRC层可生成用于接入EPC网络的RRC消息,5GS RRC层可生成用于接入5GC的RRC消息。此外,EPS和5GS可以共用PHY层、MAC层、RLC层以及PDCP层。图4中的(b)示出了5G UE的这一协议栈结构。
当然,除了上述图4所示的协议栈,本申请实施例中的5G UE的协议栈中,对于EPS和5GS,还可以仅仅共用PHY层、MAC层以及RLC层,或者仅仅共用PHY层和MAC层,或者仅仅共用PHY层,或者每一协议层均不共用。此处不再进行详细赘述。
目前,相关标准规定:若5G UE在5G网络中无法执行第一业务(如第一业务为IMS语音业务),则去使能该终端的N1模式(mode)能力,即去使能终端接入5GC的能力。其中,5G UE无法在5G网络中执行第一业务可以指5G网络不支持第一业务或者在5G网络中5G UE不支持执行第一业务。
5G UE去使能N1模式能力的具体行为是:5G UE接入EPC。为了避免将该终端切换/重定向至5GC,4G网络的接入网设备需要获知终端已经去使能N1模式能力。但是,目前还不存在接入网设备如何获知终端已经去使能N1模式能力的方法。
为此,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置,终端在去使能接入第一网络的能力后,接收来自第二网络的接入网设备的无线能力获取消息,该无线能力获取消息用于请求获取终端的无线能力,相应的,该终端向第二网络的接入网设备发送用于指示该终端不支持第一网络的接入的第一通知消息,这样,第二网络的接入网设备即可获知终端已经去使能接入第一网络。可以看出,本申请实施例提供的通信方法能够使得接入网设备获知终端已经去使能接入第一网络。
可选地,若第一网络为5G网络,第二网络为4G网络,则本申请实施例提供的通信方法能够使得4G网络的接入网设备获知终端已经去使能N1模式能力。
若第一网络为4G网络,第二网络为5G网络,则本申请实施例提供的通信方法能够使得5G网络的接入网设备获知终端已经去使能S1模式能力。终端的S1模式能力是指终端接入EPC的能力。
本申请实施例涉及到的终端均表示5G UE,后续不再一一解释。
本申请实施例提供的通信方法适用于图1所示的通信系统,也适用于图1和图2相结合的通信系统,还适用于图1和图3相结合的通信系统。
上述图1~图3中的各个设备均属于通信装置。在具体实现时,通信装置具有图5所示部件。图5为本申请实施例提供的一种通信装置的组成示意图,如图5所示,该通信装置可以包括处理器51、通信接口52、通信总线53。下面结合图5对通信装置的各个构成部件进行具体的介绍:
处理器51是通信装置的控制中心,可以是一个处理器,也可以是多个处理元件的统称。例如,处理器51是一个(central processing unit,CPU),也可以是特定集成电路(application-specific integrated circuit,ASIC),或者是被配置成实施本申请实施例的一个或多个集成电路,例如:一个或多个微处理器(digital signal processor,DSP),或,一个或者多个现场可编程门阵列(field-programmable gate array,FPGA)。
作为一种实施例,处理器51可以包括一个或多个CPU,例如图5中所示的CPU 0和CPU 1。
作为一种实施例,通信装置还可以包括其他处理器,例如图5中所示的处理器55。通信装置中的多个处理器中的每一个可以是一个单核处理器(single-CPU),也可以是一个多核处理器(multi-CPU)。这里的处理器可以指一个或多个设备、电路、和/ 或用于处理数据(例如计算机程序指令)的处理核。
通信接口52,用于在处理器51的控制下与其他设备或通信网络通信。如用于与以太网,无线接入网(radio access network,RAN),无线局域网(wireless local area networks,WLAN)等通信网络通信。通信接口52可以包括基带处理器的全部或部分,以及还可选择性地包括射频(radio frequency,RF)处理器。RF处理器用于收发RF信号,基带处理器则用于实现由RF信号转换的基带信号或即将转换为RF信号的基带信号的处理。
通信总线53,可以是工业标准体系结构(Industry Standard Architecture,ISA)总线、外部设备互连(Peripheral Component Interconnect,PCI)总线或扩展工业标准体系结构(Extended Industry Standard Architecture,EISA)总线等。该通信总线可以分为地址总线、数据总线、控制总线等。为便于表示,图5中仅用一条粗线表示,但并不表示仅有一根总线或一种类型的总线。
可选地,通信装置还包括存储器54。
存储器54,可以用于存储执行本申请方案的软件程序,所述软件程序包括程序指令。处理器51可以通过运行或执行存储在存储器54内的软件程序,以及调用存储在存储器54内的数据,执行通信装置的各种功能。
存储器54可以是只读存储器(read-only memory,ROM)或可存储静态信息和指令的其他类型的静态存储设备,随机存取存储器(random access memory,RAM)或者可存储信息和指令的其他类型的动态存储设备,也可以是电可擦可编程只读存储器(electrically erasable programmable read-only memory,EEPROM)、磁盘存储介质或者其他磁存储设备、或者能够用于携带或存储具有指令或数据结构形式的期望的程序代码并能够由计算机存取的任何其他介质,但不限于此。存储器54可以是独立存在,通过通信总线53与处理器51相连接。存储器54也可以和处理器51集成在一起。
由于存储器54为可选的部件,图5中采用虚线框表示。
需要说明的是,图5中示出的设备结构并不构成对通信装置的限定,除图5所示部件之外,该通信装置可以包括比图示更多或更少的部件,或者组合某些部件,或者不同的部件布置。
下面结合图1~图3所示的通信系统,图5所示的通信装置对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行描述。其中,下述方法实施例中提及的各个设备均可以具有图5所示组成部分,不再赘述。
为了便于理解本申请实施例,以终端具备支持接入第一网络和第二网络的能力,该终端已接入到第一网络为例进行说明。
图6为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。参见图6,该通信方法包括如下步骤。
S600、若在第一网络中无法执行第一业务,终端去使能接入第一网络的能力。
终端具备接入第一网络和第二网络的能力。在终端接入到第一网络的场景中,终端接入第一网络的能力处于使能状态。
在运行过程中,若终端需要执行第一业务,该终端在第一网络中无法执行第一业务,则终端去使能接入第一网络的能力。
可选地,终端在第一网络中无法执行第一业务指:第一网络不支持第一业务,或者在第一网络中终端无法执行第一业务。
具体的,当终端去使能接入第一网络的能力时,终端的NAS层向该终端的AS层发送消息1,该消息1用于指示终端已经去使能接入第一网络的能力。这样,终端的AS层确定该终端的无线能力信息不包括第一无线能力信息。
第一无线能力信息包括用于表示终端接入第一网络的空口能力的信息、用于表示终端从第二网络切换至第一网络的能力的信息、用于表示终端从第二网络重定向(redirect)至第一网络的能力的信息、或者用于表示终端以双连接的方式接入到第一网络的能力的信息中的至少一种。
其中,“终端以双连接的方式接入到第一网络”指为终端提供服务的接入网设备包括主站,以及与主站连接的辅站,该主站与核心网设备连接。例如,若第一网络为5G网络,上述图2或图3均示出了5G UE以双连接的方式接入5G网络。
若第一网络为5G网络,上述终端接入第一网络的空口能力包括终端支持通过E-UTRA接入5G核心网的能力,以及终端支持通过NR接入5G核心网的能力。
示例性的,若第一网络为5G网络,则终端的AS层确定终端的无线能力信息不包括下述信息:用于指示终端通过E-UTRA技术接入5GC的能力的信息、用于指示终端通过NR技术接入5GC的能力的信息、或者用于指示Option 7的信息中的至少一个。
终端的AS层确定该终端的无线能力信息不包括第一无线能力信息可以采用多种方式实现。在一种可能的实现方式中,终端的AS层删除该终端的无线能力信息中的第一无线能力信息。在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端的AS层将第一无线能力信息置为无效。可以看出,在终端去使能接入第一网络的能力后,该终端的无线能力信息发生了变化。
S601、终端请求接入第二网络,建立与第二网络的接入网设备之间的通信连接。
若终端在第二网络中能够执行第一业务,则该终端在去使能接入第一网络后,请求接入第二网络。终端请求接入第二网络的流程可以参考现有技术中终端请求接入某一网络的流程,这里不再进行详细描述。
在终端请求接入第二网络的过程中,终端可以先与第二网络的接入网设备建立通信连接。
S602、终端向第二网络的核心网设备发送用于指示终端已经去使能接入第一网络的能力的NAS能力信息。
示例性的,第二网络的核心网设备为移动管理实体(mobile managenment entity,MME)。
可选地,NAS能力信息携带于位置区域更新(tracking area update,TAU)请求消息中,或者携带于初始UE消息(initial UE message)中。
可选地,终端还向第二网络的核心网设备发送第一信息,该第一信息用于指示终端的无线能力发生变化。
若第二网络的核心网设备已经存储有终端的无线能力信息,如第一无线能力信息和用于表示终端支持接入第二网络的第二无线能力信息,则第二网络的核心网设备在接收到第一信息后,删除第一无线能力信息和第二无线能力信息。
S603、第二网络的核心网设备向第二网络的接入网设备发送指示信息。
指示信息用于指示获取终端的无线能力,或者,用于指示第二网络的接入网设备不能将终端接入到第一网络。
可选地,该指示信息可以采用直接方式(即显式)体现,也可以采用间接方式(即隐式)体现。例如,第二网络的核心网设备向第二网络的接入网设备发送信息中未包括第一无线能力信息,则说明第二网络的接入网设备不能将终端接入到第一网络。
可选地,指示信息携带于初始上下文设置请求(initial context setup request)消息中。
S604、第二网络的接入网设备根据指示信息,向终端发送无线能力获取消息。
该无线能力获取消息用于请求获取终端的无线能力。
若指示信息用于指示获取终端的无线能力,则第二网络的接入网设备在接收到指示信息后,可直接根据该指示信息向终端发送无线能力获取消息,以请求获取终端的无线能力。
若指示信息用于指示第二网络的接入网设备不能将终端接入到第一网络,则第二网络的接入网设备仍需要获取到终端的无线能力,以实现该终端的上下文的建立,进一步完成终端接入第二网络的流程。
可选地,无线能力获取消息为UE能力查询(UE capability enquiry)消息。
S605、终端向第二网络的接入网设备发送用于指示终端不支持第一网络的接入的第一通知消息。
该第一通知消息不包括上述第一无线能力信息。
可以看出,在终端、第二网络的接入网设备以及第二网络的核心网设备相互通信的作用下,第二网络的接入网设备可以获知终端已经去使能接入第一网络。
进一步地,在终端已经去使能接入第一网络,且已经接入第二网络的场景中,若第二网络的接入网设备确定将终端切换到目标设备,则该第二网络的接入网设备还需要向目标设备发送用于指示终端不支持第一网络的接入的切换指示信息,以便于目标设备确定不将该终端接入第一网络。
结合上述图6,如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法在S605之后还包括S701。
S701、第二网络的接入网设备向目标设备发送切换指示信息,切换指示信息用于指示终端不支持第一网络的接入。
在实际应用中,根据业务需求,在终端接入第二网络的场景中,该终端还可能会重新使能接入第一网络的能力。这种情况下,终端还会向第二网络的接入网设备发送第二通知消息,用于指示终端支持第一网络的接入,这样,后续第二网络的接入网设备可根据需求将该终端切换至第一网络。
结合上述图6,如图8所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法在S605之后还包括S801和S802。
S801、终端使能接入第一网络的能力。
S802、终端向第二网络的接入网设备发送第二通知消息,第二通知消息用于指示终端支持第一网络的接入。
该第二通知消息包括上述第一无线能力信息。
综上,本申请实施例提供了接入网设备获知终端去使能接入第一网络的能力的方法,还提供了接入网设备获知终端重新使能接入第一网络的能力的方法。
