Description
本申请要求于2019年04月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910363784.7、申请名称为“数据传输的方法和装置”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。
本申请涉及通信领域,更具体地,涉及通信领域中数据传输的方法和装置。
无线回传网络例如接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)网络包括宿主节点和无线回传节点,终端设备通过无线回传节点与宿主节点连接。IAB网络支持多跳和多连接组网,因此,在终端设备和宿主节点之间可能存在多条传输路径。在某一条传输路径上,终端设备和为该终端设备提供无线接入服务的无线回传节点之间、无线回传节点之间、无线回传节点和为该无线回传节点提供回传服务的宿主节点之间有确定的层级关系,其中,为无线回传节点提供回传服务的节点称为该无线回传节点或该终端设备的父节点,或,为终端设备提供接入服务的节点称为该终端设备的父节点,无线回传节点可视为该无线回传节点的父节点的子节点,终端设备可视为该终端设备的父节点的子节点。
在现有的第五代(5G)通信系统,例如新空口(new radio,NR)系统的用户面协议中,如果宿主基站是分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)和集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)分离状态,为了避免DU和终端设备之间的下行数据传输的拥塞而造成数据在DU处堆积导致丢包,DU需要向CU发送下行数据传输状态(downlink data deliver status,DDDS)反馈消息,该DDDS反馈消息包括DU按序成功向终端设备发送多个数据包中分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)序列号(Sequence Number,SN)值最大的数据包的PDCP PDU SN值,但是由于该DDDS反馈消息是以终端设备数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)为粒度的,且能在终端设备接入的IAB节点上进行反馈。在IAB网络中,终端设备接入的IAB节点与CU之间还可能有一跳或多跳无线传输,终端设备接入的IAB节点向CU发送DDDS反馈消息,无法确定到底是终端设备和终端设备接入的IAB节点之间的接入链路,还是终端设备接入的IAB节点与CU之间的回传链路出现拥塞。
在现有的CU与DU之间进行通信的F1接口的控制面消息F1接口应用协议(F1-Application Protocol,F1-AP)中,每个IAB节点向DU发送过载(overload)消息,该过载消息指示了节点的两种状态,即过载和未过载。CU通过该过载消息,来进行终端设备的接入控制。但是该过载消息指示的节点的状态有限,CU通过两种状态并不能较好的为数据传输分配相应的资源。
因此,需要提供一种技术,可以有效地提高数据的传输性能。

下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请中所有节点、消息的名称仅仅是为了描述方便而设定的名称,在实际网络中的名称可能不同,不应该理解本申请限定各种节点、消息的名称。相反,任何具有和本申请中用到的节点或消息具有相同或类似功能的名称都视作本申请的方法或等效替换,都在本申请的保护范围之内,以下不再赘述。
本申请实施例提及的通信系统包括但不限于:窄带物联网(narrow band-internet of things,NB-IoT)系统、无线局域网(wireless local access network,WLAN)系统、LTE系统、下一代5G移动通信系统或者5G之后的演进通信系统。
参见图1,图1是适用于本申请的技术方案的IAB系统的架构图。如图1所示,一个IAB系统至少包括一个基站100,以及基站100所服务的一个或多个终端设备(terminal)101,一个或多个中继节点(也即,IAB节点)110,以及IAB节点110所服务的一个或多个终端设备111。通常,基站100被称为宿主基站(donor next generation node B,DgNB),IAB节点110通过无线回传链路113连接到基站100。宿主基站在本申请中也称为宿主节点,即,Donor节点。
基站100包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved node base,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(home evolved NodeB,或home node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband Unit,BBU)、演进的(evolved LTE,eLTE)基站、NR基站(next generation node B,gNB)等。
终端设备包括但不限于:用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理、无线局域网(wireless local access network,WLAN)中的站点(station,ST)、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备、连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的移动台以及未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)网络中的终端设备等中的任意一种。IAB节点是中继节点的特定的名称,不对本申请的方案构成限定,可以是一种具有转发功能的网络类型中继(例如基站)或者具有转发功能的终端类型中继,如终端设备中。
IAB系统还可以包括多个其它IAB节点,例如,IAB节点120和IAB节点130。IAB节点120是通过无线回传链路123连接到IAB节点110以接入到网络的。IAB节点130是通过无线回传链路133连接到IAB节点110以接入到网络的。IAB节点120为一个或多个终端设备121服务,IAB节点130为一个或多个终端设备131服务。图1中,IAB节点110和IAB节点120都通过无线回传链路连接到网络。在本申请中,所述无线回传链路都是从中继节点的角度来看的,例如无线回传链路113是IAB节点110的回传链路,无线回传链路123是IAB节点120的回传链路。如图1所示,一个IAB节点,如120, 可以通过无线回传链路,如123,连接另一个IAB节点110,从而连接到网络。而且,中继节点可以经过多级无线中继节点连接到网络。应理解,本申请中用IAB节点仅仅出于描述的需要,并不表示本申请的方案仅用于NR的场景,在本申请中,IAB节点可以泛指任何具有中继功能的节点或设备,本申请中的IAB节点和中继节点的使用应理解具有相同的含义。
另外,本申请中还涉及到如下基本术语或概念。
1、无线回传节点、宿主节点
本申请实施例中,将支持一体化的接入和回传的节点称为无线回传节点。在LTE通信系统中,该无线回传节点又可以称为中继节点(relay node,RN),在5G中,无线回传节点又可以称为IAB节点(IAB node)。为便于描述,下面以IAB节点为例进行说明。
IAB节点可以为终端设备提供无线接入服务,该终端设备的数据(可以包括用户面数据和控制面信令)由IAB节点通过无线回传链路连接到宿主节点传输。
在本申请实施例中,宿主节点又称为IAB宿主(IAB donor)或者宿主基站(donor gNodeB,DgNB)。具体地,DgNB可以是一个具有完整基站功能的接入网网元,也可以是包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)分离形态的接入网网元。DgNB连接到为终端设备服务的核心网网元,例如,连接到5G核心网(5G core,5GC),并为IAB节点提供无线回传功能。为便于表述,本申请实施例将宿主节点的集中式单元简称为宿主CU(donor CU),将宿主节点的分布式单元简称为宿主DU(donor DU),其中,donor CU还有可能是控制面(control plane,CP)或用户面(user plane,UP)分离的形态,例如,一个CU包括一个CU-CP和多个CU-UP组成,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
2、父节点、子节点
IAB网络可以支持多跳和多连接组网,因此,在终端设备和宿主节点之间可能存在多条传输路径。在某一条传输路径上,终端设备和为该终端设备提供无线接入服务的IAB节点之间、IAB节点之间、IAB节点和为该IAB节点提供回传服务的宿主节点之间有确定的层级关系。其中,为IAB节点提供无线回传服务的节点称为该IAB节点的父节点,或,为终端设备提供无线接入服务的节点称为该终端设备的父节点,该IAB节点可视为该IAB节点的父节点的子节点,该终端设备可视为该终端设备的父节点的子节点。这里,该IAB节点的父节点可以是其他IAB节点,也可以是宿主节点,当该IAB节点与宿主节点直接通过无线空口进行通信时,该IAB节点的父节点即为宿主节点。
3、接入链路
终端设备和为它提供无线接入服务的节点(例如,IAB节点、宿主节点或者宿主DU)进行通信时所使用的无线链路,包括用于上行传输的接入链路和下行传输的接入链路。用于上行传输的接入链路也被称为上行接入链路或接入上行链路,其传输方向是从该终端设备至该节点;用于下行传输的接入链路也被称为下行接入链路或接入下行链路,其传输方向是从该节点至该终端设备。
4、回传链路
回传链路是指某个IAB节点和它的父节点进行通信时所使用的无线链路,其父节点可以是一个IAB节点也可以是宿主节点,包括用于上行传输的回传链路和下行传输的回传链 路。用于上行传输的回传链路也被称为上行回传链路或回传上行链路,其传输方向是从该IAB节点至该IAB节点的父节点;用于下行传输的回传链路也被称为下行回传链路或回传下行链路,其传输方向是该IAB节点的父节点至该IAB节点。
5、传输路径
从发送节点至接收节点的全程路由,路径由至少一段链路(link)组成,在本申请实施例中,链路表示相邻节点之间的连接。也就是说,传输路径为发送节点与接收节点之间的以该发送节点为起点且以该接收节点为终点的传输路径。后续,为了描述方便,可以将发送节点与接收节点之间的以该发送节点为起点且以该接收节点为终点的传输路径描述为发送节点与接收节点之间的传输路径。
在上行传输中,可以将终端设备与宿主节点之间除宿主节点以外的任一个节点作为发送节点,将发送节点的上级节点(例如,该发送节点的父节点或该父节点的父节点等)作为接收节点。例如,发送节点可以是某个IAB节点,接收节点可以是该IAB节点的父节点,在该IAB节点与该IAB节点的父节点之间的全程路由表示一条传输路径。再例如,发送节点可以是某个IAB节点,接收节点可以是宿主节点,在该IAB节点与该宿主节点之间的全程路由表示一条传输路径。
同理,在下行传输中,发送节点可以是宿主节点与该终端设备之间除终端设备以外的任一个节点,接收节点可以是该发送节点的下级节点(例如,该发送节点的子节点或该子节点的子节点等)。例如,发送节点可以是某个IAB节点,接收节点可以是该IAB节点的子节点,在该IAB节点与该IAB节点的子节点之间的全程路由表示一条传输路径。再例如,发送节点可以是某个IAB节点,接收节点可以终端设备,在该IAB节点与该终端设备之间的全程路由表示一条传输路径。
6、回传链路拥塞或失败
对于回传链路拥塞,其包括回传链路上行传输方向上的拥塞和下行传输方向上的拥塞。若IAB节点的上行传输中发往某一父节点的缓存占用率、负载占用率或缓存量超过一定阈值,即可认为该IAB节点与该IAB节点的父节点之间的回传链路上行传输方向上的发生拥塞;若IAB节点的下行传输中发往某一子节点的缓存占用率或缓存量超过一定阈值值,即可认为该IAB节点与该IAB节点的子节点之间的回传链路下行传输方向上的发生拥塞,其中子节点也另一IAB节点。
对于回传链路失败,指的是回传链路发生无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF),其可由定时器T310超时或介质访问控制(media access control,MAC)层的随机接入问题指示或无线链路控制层(radio link control,RLC)层达到最大重传次数等原因引起。
通常,下级节点可以被看作是上级节点的一个终端设备。应理解,图1所示的一体化接入和回传系统中,一个IAB节点连接一个上级节点。但是在未来的中继系统中,为了提高无线回传链路的可靠性,一个IAB节点,如120,可以有多个上级节点同时为一个IAB节点提供服务,如图1中的IAB节点130还可以通过回传链路134连接到IAB节点120,即,IAB节点110和IAB节点120都视为IAB节点130的上级节点。IAB节点110,120,130的名称并不限制其所部署的场景或网络,可以是比如relay,RN等任何其他名称。本申请使用IAB节点仅是方便描述的需要。
在图1中,无线链路102,112,122,132,113,123,133,134可以是双向链路, 包括上行和下行传输链路,特别地,无线回传链路113,123,133,134可以用于上级节点为下级节点提供服务,如上级节点100为下级节点110提供无线回传服务。应理解,回传链路的上行和下行可以是分离的,即,上行链路和下行链路不是通过同一个节点进行传输的。所述下行传输是指上级节点,例如节点100,向下级节点,例如节点110,传输信息或数据,上行传输是指下级节点,例如节点110,向上级节点,例如节点100,传输信息或数据。所述节点不限于是网络节点还是终端设备,例如,在D2D场景下,终端设备可以充当中继节点为其他终端设备服务。无线回传链路在某些场景下又可以是接入链路,如回传链路123对节点110来说也可以被视作接入链路,回传链路113也是节点100的接入链路。应理解,上述上级节点可以是基站,也可以是中继节点,下级节点可以是中继节点,也可以是具有中继功能的终端设备,例如D2D场景下,下级节点也可以是终端设备。
参见图2,图2是IAB系统的一个具体示例。在图2所示的IAB系统中,包括宿主基站,IAB节点1,IAB节点2,也可以包括UE1和UE2。其中,宿主基站和IAB节点1之间的链路,以及IAB节点1和IAB节点2之间的链路为回传链路。UE1和宿主基站之间的链路,UE2和IAB节点1之间的链路为接入链路以及UE3和IAB节点2之间的链路为接入链路。
参见图3,图3是IAB节点的结构示意图。如图3所示,移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)功能被定义为类似UE的一个组件。在IAB中,MT被称为驻留在IAB节点上的功能。由于MT类似一个普通UE的功能,因此可以认为IAB节点通过MT接入到上级节点或网络。
DU功能是相对于CU功能而言的。在NR中,基站的功能被分为两部分,称为CU-DU分离。从协议栈的角度来看,CU包括了LTE基站的RRC层和PDCP层,DU包括了LTE基站的无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层。在普通的5G基站部署中,CU和DU物理上可以通过光纤连接,逻辑上存在一个专门定义的F1接口,用于CU与DU之间进行通信。从功能的角度来看,CU主要负责无线资源控制与配置,跨小区移动性管理,承载管理等。DU主要负责调度,物理信号生成与发送。
如背景技术所述,在IAB网络的数据传输中,在现有的新空口(new radio,NR)用户面协议中,如果宿主基站是分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)和集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)分离状态,为了避免DU和终端设备之间的下行数据传输的拥塞而造成数据在DU处堆积导致丢包,DU需要向CU发送下行数据传输状态(downlink data deliver status,DDDS)反馈消息,该DDDS反馈消息包括DU按序成功向终端设备发送多个数据包中PDCP PDU SN值最大的数据包的PDCP PDU SN值,但是由于该DDDS反馈消息是以终端设备数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)为粒度的,且能在终端设备接入的IAB节点上进行反馈。在IAB网络中,终端设备接入的IAB节点与CU之间还可能有一跳或多跳无线传输,终端设备接入的IAB节点向CU发送DDDS反馈消息,无法确定到底是终端设备和终端设备接入的IAB节点之间的接入链路,还是终端设备接入的IAB节点与CU之间的回传链路出现拥塞。在现有的CU与DU之间进行通信的F1接口的控制面消息F1接口应用协议(F1-Application Protocol,F1-AP)中,每个IAB节点都会向DU发送过载(overload)消息,该过载消息指示了节点的两种状态,即过载和未过载。CU通过该过载 消息,来进行终端设备的接入控制。但是该过载消息指示的节点的状态有限,CU通过两种状态并不能较好的为数据传输分配相应的资源。
基于上述问题,本申请实施例提供了数据传输的方法,可以有效地提高数据的传输性能。
为了便于理解本申请实施例,在介绍本申请实施例之前,先作出以下几点说明。
第一,在本申请实施例中,“指示”可以包括直接指示和间接指示,也可以包括显式指示和隐式指示。将某一信息(如下文所述的第一指示信息)所指示的信息称为待指示信息,则具体实现过程中,对待指示信息进行指示的方式有很多种,例如但不限于,可以直接指示待指示信息,如待指示信息本身或者该待指示信息的索引等。也可以通过指示其他信息来间接指示待指示信息,其中该其他信息与待指示信息之间存在关联关系。还可以仅仅指示待指示信息的一部分,而待指示信息的其他部分则是已知的或者提前约定的。例如,还可以借助预先约定(例如协议规定)的各个信息的排列顺序来实现对特定信息的指示,从而在一定程度上降低指示开销。
第二,在下文示出的实施例中第一、第二以及各种数字编号仅为描述方便进行的区分,并不用来限制本申请实施例的范围。例如,区分不同的指示信息等。
第三,本申请实施例中涉及的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议,例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议,本申请对此不做限定。
第四,本申请实施例中涉及的“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“以下一项(个)或多项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a、b和c中的至少一项(个)或多项(个),可以表示:a,或b,或c,或a和b,或a和c,或b和c,或a、b和c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。下面将结合附图详细说明本申请实施例提供的方法。
第五,本申请实施例中涉及的“传输路径发生拥塞或失败”是指传输路径中一段或多段链路发生拥塞或失败。
应理解,本申请实施例中所有节点、消息、参数的名称仅仅是本申请为描述方便而设定的名称,在实际网络中的名称可能不同,不应理解本申请限定各种节点、消息、参数的名称,相反,任何具有和本申请中用到的节点或消息或参数具有相同或类似功能的名称都视作本申请的方法或等效替换,都在本申请的保护范围之内,以下不再赘述。此外,在申请实施例中,一个消息可以包括一个或多个信息(或信令)。
在本申请实施例中,用于实现本申请实施例的方法或步骤的设备可以是设备本身,也可以是配置在设备中的芯片或处理器等能够实现本申请实施例的方法或步骤的装置,本申请实施例不限于此。例如,该设备可以是下文描述的宿主基站、第一IAB节点、第二IAB节点、该第一IAB节点的子节点或该第一IAB节点的父节点。下文所述的终端设备可以是终端设备本身,也可以是配置在终端设备内部的芯片或处理器。为了便于描述,统一采用终端设备描述。
以下,以第一IAB节点、第二IAB节点、和宿主基站之间的交互为例详细说明本申请实施例。
图4示出了本申请实施例提供的数据传输的方法400的示意性流程图。该方法400应用于包括宿主基站、第一IAB节点的通信系统中,其中,第一IAB节点是终端设备的接 入节点。如图4所示,该方法400可以包括步骤S410和步骤S440。下面详细说明方法400中的各个步骤。

可选地,该第一IAB节点可以从第二IAB节点接收宿主基站发送给终端设备的N个数据包,第二IAB节点是上述第一IAB节点的父节点,即第一IAB节点经由第二IAB节点与宿主基站通信;或者,该第一IAB节点也可以从第一IAB节点的移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)侧接收宿主基站发送给终端设备的N个数据包;或者,该第一IAB节点也可以从第一IAB节点的DU的高层发送的N个数据包,其中该DU的高层可以是PDCP层的上层协议层。
步骤S420,第一IAB节点,从N个数据包中确定第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN,该第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN是N个数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN或该第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN是N个数据包的PDCP PDU SN按照从小到大的顺序排列且从最小的PDCP PDU SN开始连续PDCP PDU SN中最大的PDCP PDU SN。
例如,在RLC AM模式下,该第一IAB节点接收了宿主基站发送给终端设备的4个数据包,该第一IAB节点依次接收的4个数据包对应的PDCP PDU SN可以分别为1,2,6,3,则第一IAB节点可以将第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN确定为这4个数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN,即第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN为6。又例如,在RLC AM模式下,该第一IAB节点依次接收了宿主基站发送给终端设备的5个数据包,且这5个数据包按照PDCP PDU SN从小到大的顺序排列,PDCP PDU SN可以依次分别为1,2,4,6,7,则第一IAB节点可以将第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN确定为这5个数据包的PDCP PDU SN按照从小到大的顺序排列且从最小的PDCP PDU SN开始连续PDCP PDU SN中最大的PDCP PDU SN,则第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN为2。
可选地,在RLC AM模式下,上述第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN还可以是N个数据包中重传数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN或第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN还可以是第一IAB节点接收的N个数据包中重传数据包中按照PDCP PDU SN从小到大的顺序排列的第 一组PDCP PDU SN连续数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN。例如,在RLC AM模式下,该第一IAB节点接收了宿主基站发送给终端设备的4个数据包,该第一IAB节点接收的4个数据包对应的PDCP PDU SN可以分别为1,2,6,3,其中,PDCP PDU SN为1和3的是重传数据包,则第一IAB节点可以将第一个数据包的PDCP PDU SN确定为4个数据包中重传数据包(PDCP PDU SN为1和3)中最大的PDCP PDU SN,即第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN为3。又例如,在RLC AM模式下,该第一IAB节点接收了宿主基站发送给终端设备的6个数据包,这6个数据包按照PDCP PDU SN从小到大的顺序排列,PDCP PDU SN可以依次分别为1,2,4,5,7,8,且这6个数据包中PDCP PDU SN为4,5,7和8的数据包是重传数据包,则第一IAB节点可以将第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN确定为这6个数据包中重传数据包(PDCP PDU SN为4,5,7和8)的PDCP PDU SN按照从小到大的顺序排列且从最小的PDCP PDU SN开始连续PDCP PDU SN中最大的PDCP PDU SN,则第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN为5。

步骤S440,宿主基站根据第一信息,确定第一传输路径的拥塞或失败情况,该第一传输路径是第一IAB节点和宿主基站之间的回传链路。
可选地,在第一IAB节点直接与宿主基站连接的情况下,上述第一传输路径是第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路。例如,如图5所示,在宿主基站与UE2之间的通信路径可以为路径A:
其中,第一IAB节点是IAB节点A,该IAB节点A直接与宿主基站通信,上述第一传输路径为IAB节点A与宿主基站之间的回传链路,即第一传输路径可以为回传链路A。
可选地,该通信系统还可以包括一个或多个第二IAB节点,以下,以第一传输路径为2种情况下为例,进行详细描述,本申请并不仅仅局限于以下2种情况。
情况1:在第一IAB节点经由第二IAB节点与宿主基站通信。
上述第一传输路径为第一IAB节点与第二IAB节点之间的回传链路和/或第二IAB节点与宿主基站之间的回传链路,其中第二IAB节点为第一IAB节点的父节点,宿主基站为第二IAB节点的父节点。例如,如图5所示,该通信系统中,宿主基站与UE1之间的通信路径可以是路径B,其中,路径B为:
第一IAB节点是IAB节点C,第二IAB节点是IAB节点B,IAB节点B是IAB节点C的父节点,宿主基站是IAB节点B的父节点,上述第一传输路径为IAB节点C与IAB节点B之间的回传链路和/或IAB节点B与宿主基站之间的回传链路,即第一传输路径为回传链路B和/或回传链路C。
情况2:第一IAB节点依次经由第二IAB节点#A和第二个IAB节点与宿主基站通信。
上述第一传输路径可以为第一IAB节点与第二IAB节点#A之间的回传链路,第二IAB节点#A与第二IAB节点#B之间的回传链路,和/或第二IAB节点#B与宿主基站之间的回传链路。其中,第二IAB节点#A为第一IAB节点的父节点,第二IAB节点#B为第一个IAB节点的父节点,宿主基站为第二IAB节点#B的父节点。例如,如图7所示,该通信系统中,宿主基站与UE1之间的通信路径可以是路径2,其中,路径2为:
第一IAB节点是IAB节点3,第二IAB节点#A是IAB节点2,第二IAB节点#B是IAB节点1,IAB节点3依次经由IAB节点2和IAB节点1与宿主基站通信,IAB节点2是IAB节点3的父节点,IAB节点1是IAB节点2的父节点,宿主基站是IAB节点1的父节点,上述第一传输路径为IAB节点3与IAB节点2之间的回传链路,IAB节点2与IAB节点1之间的回传链路和/或IAB节点1与宿主基站之间的回传链路,即第一传输路径为回传链路3,回传链路2和/或回传链路1。
可选地,宿主基站根据第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值和宿主基站发送的第二数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值,确定第一传输路径的是否存在拥塞或失败情况,其中,第二数据包的PDCP PDU SN是宿主基站已发送的L个数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN,L≥N,且L为正整数。
可选地,宿主基站可以根据第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值和宿主基站已发送的第二数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值之间的差值是否超过预设值来确定第一传输路径是否发生拥塞或失败。在第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值和宿主基站发送的第二数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值之间的差值超过预设值的情况下,宿主基站确定第一传输路径存在拥塞或失败情况。上述预设值可以根据宿主基站发送的数据包的个数L确定。例如,在宿主基站发送的数据包的个数为100的情况下,该预设值可以为80。例如,当第一数据包的SN的值为5,第二数据包的SN的值为100,则宿主基站可以确定第一传输路径存在拥塞或失败 情况。又例如,第一数据包的SN的值为85,第二数据包的SN的值为100,则宿主基站可以确定第一传输路径的不存在拥塞情况。
在宿主基站确定第一传输路径存在拥塞情况,则宿主基站可以降低经过第一传输路径发往终端设备的传输数据的速率;或者宿主基站更改发送终端设备的路由路径(即更改第一传输路径的路径),使宿主基站与终端设备之间的数据不经过该第一传输路径进行传输。
例如,如图5所示,该通信系统中,宿主基站与UE1之间的通信路径可以是路径B,其中,路径B为:
第一IAB节点是IAB节点C,第二IAB节点是IAB节点B,IAB节点B是IAB节点C的父节点,宿主基站是IAB节点B的父节点,上述第一传输路径为IAB节点C与IAB节点B之间的回传链路和/或IAB节点B与宿主基站之间的回传链路,即第一传输路径为回传链路B和/或回传链路C。在第一传输路径存在拥塞或失败的情况下,宿主基站可以更改第一传输路径的路径,即宿主基站将用另一条宿主基站与UE1之间的传输路径的路径代替第一传输路径的路径,例如,宿主基站与UE1之间的通信路径也可以是路径C,其中,路径C为:
宿主基站将通过路径1发往UE1的数据改为通过路径2发往UE1;或者,在第一传输路径存在失败的情况下,宿主基站可以降低宿主基站通过第一传输路径发往UE1的数据传输速率。
宿主基站对第一传输路径中的拥塞链路更改路径或降低经过第一传输路径发往终端设备的传输数据的速率,避免或减轻第一传输路径上的拥塞情况,提高数据传输的性能。

方式2’:该第三信息可以用映射表来指示第二IAB节点#A与第二IAB节点#B之间的回传链路是否发生拥塞或失败和/或第二IAB节点#B与宿主基站之间的回传链路是否发生拥塞或失败。该映射表是上述链路与上述链路是否发生拥塞的一一对应关系,其中,上述链路是否发生拥塞用0和1来标识,例如,0可以代表该链路不存在拥塞或失败,1可以代表该链路存在拥塞或失败。例如,第二IAB节点#A与第二IAB节点#B之间的回传链路对应的是0,即第二IAB节点#A与第二个IAB节点之间的回传链路不存在拥塞或失败,若第二IAB节点#B与宿主基站之间的回传链路对应的是1,即第二IAB节点#B与宿主基站之间的回传链路存在拥塞或失败。

可选地,该第二信息可以通过标识来指示第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路是否发生拥塞或失败。即第二信息有第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路的标识,即为该第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路发生拥塞或失败,第二信息没有第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路的标识,即为该第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路未发生拥塞或失败。
可选地,该第二信息也可以通过映射表来指示第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路是否发生拥塞或失败。该映射表是第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路与第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路是否发生拥塞的一一对应关系,其中,第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路是否发生拥塞用0和1来标识,例如,0可以代表第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路不存在拥塞或失败,1可以代表第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路存在拥塞或失败。例如,第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路对应的是1,即第一IAB节点与宿主节点之间的回传链路存在拥塞或失败。
可选地,在第一IAB节点经由一个或多个第二IAB节点与宿主基站通信的情况下,第一IAB节点需要合并第三信息和第一IAB节点与第一IAB节点的父节点之间的回传链路是否发生拥塞或失败的情况,并形成第二信息,发送给宿主基站。
步骤S440,宿主基站根据第一信息,确定第一传输路径的拥塞或失败情况。
可选地,宿主基站根据第一信息和第二信息,确定第一传输路径的拥塞或失败情况。具体地,宿主基站根据第一数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值和宿主基站发送的第二数据包的PDCP PDU SN的值,确定第一传输路径的是否存在拥塞或失败情况,其中,所述第二数据包的PDCP PDU SN是所述宿主基站已发送的L个数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN,L≥N,且L为正整数。
在所述第一传输路径存在拥塞或失败的情况下,宿主基站根据第二信息中指示的第一传输路径是否发生拥塞或失败,确定第一传输路径中拥塞或失败的链路。在第一传输路径中存在拥塞的链路的情况下,则宿主基站可以降低经过第一传输路径发往终端设备的传输数据的速率;或者,在第一传输路径中存在拥塞或失败的链路的情况下,宿主基站更改发送终端设备的路由路径(即更改第一传输路径中拥塞链路的路径),使宿主基站与终端设备之间的数据不经过该第一传输路径进行传输。
示例性地,若第一IAB节点与第二IAB节点之间的回传链路存在拥塞,宿主基站需要对第一IAB节点与第二IAB节点之间的回传链路更改路径。例如,如图5所示,该通信系统中,宿主基站与UE1之间的通信路径可以是路径B,其中,路径B为:
第一IAB节点是IAB节点C,第二IAB节点是IAB节点B,IAB节点B是IAB节点C的父节点,宿主基站是IAB节点B的父节点,上述第一传输路径为IAB节点C与IAB节点B之间的回传链路和/或IAB节点B与宿主基站之间的 回传链路,即第一传输路径为回传链路B和/或回传链路C;又例如,该通信系统中,宿主基站与UE1之间的通信路径也可以是路径C,其中,路径C为:

宿主基站对第一传输路径中的拥塞或失败链路更改路径,或者宿主基站降低经过第一传输路径中的拥塞链路发往终端设备的传输数据的速率,避免或减轻第一传输路径上的拥塞情况,提高数据传输的性能。
其中,步骤S440的详细描述可以参考上述方法400中对步骤S440中的描述,这里不再赘述。

可选地,第六信息包含在宿主基站分布式单元状态指示消息(GNB-DU STATUS INDICATION)中。从而可以减小信令开销。

具体地,宿主基站根据第六信息,确定第四传输路径的状况等级,并根据第四传输路径的状况等级,重配拥塞或失败链路的上下行时隙资源配比。其中,宿主基站可以根据上一次拥塞或失败链路的上下行时隙资源配比,重配拥塞或失败链路的上下行时隙资源配比。
宿主基站根据第四传输路径的状况等级,可以获知第四传输路径的缓存占有率,宿主基站根据第四传输路径的缓存占有率,重配第四传输路径的上下行时隙资源配比。从而宿主基站可以根据当前第四传输路径的缓存占有率,合理的对第四传输路径的上下行时隙资源进行分配,提高数据的传输性能。

图10是从节点交互的角度示出的本申请一实施例提供的确定传输路径拥塞的方法1000的示意性流程图。该方法1000应用于包括宿主基站和第一IAB节点的通信系统中。如图10所示,该方法1000可以包括步骤S1010和步骤S1020。下面详细说明该方法中的各个步骤。
步骤S1010,第一IAB节点向宿主基站发送第七信息,第七信息包括第三数据包的PDCP PDU SN值和终端设备(user equipment,UE)数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)期待的缓存大小,第三数据包的PDCP PDU SN是第一IAB节点按序成功向终端设备发送R个数据包中最大PDCP PDU SN或第一IAB节点向终端设备发送的R个数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN,R大于1,且R为正整数。
可选地,第七信息包含在第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的F1接口的用户面消息中。
可选地,F1接口的用户面消息还包括第四标识,该第四标识用于指示F1接口的用户面消息中包括第七信息。
F1接口的用户面消息中包括第四标识和第七信息,从而使能接收端正确解读该F1接口的用户面消息的长度,以及使能宿主基站确定该F1接口的用户面消息中是否包含第七信息。
步骤S1020,宿主基站根据第七信息,确定第五传输路径的拥塞情况,第五传输路径为第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间传输路径和/或第一IAB节点与终端设备之间的接入链路。
其中,第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的传输路径包括一条或多条回传链路。在第一IAB节点与宿主基站直接通信的情况下,第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的传输路径是第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的回传链路。在第一IAB节点经由一个或多个第二IAB节点与 宿主基站通信的情况下,第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的传输路径是第一IAB节点与第二IAB节点之间的回传链路、第二IAB节点与宿主基站的回传链路和/或对个第二IAB节点之间的回传链路。
在第三数据包的PDCP PDU SN值与第四数据包的PDCP PDU SN值的差值大于或等于第一门限值,宿主基站确定第五传输路径发生拥塞,第四数据包的PDCP PDU SN值为宿主基站发送向终端设备发送的K个数据包中最大的PDCP PDU SN,K大于1,且K为正整数。
例如,在宿主基站发送的数据包的个数为120的情况下,该第一门限值可以为80。例如,当第三数据包的SN的值为15,第四数据包的SN的值为120,则宿主基站可以确定第五传输路径存在拥塞或失败情况。又例如,第三数据包的SN的值为85,第四数据包的SN的值为120,则宿主基站可以确定第一传输路径的不存在拥塞情况。
在第五传输路径发生拥塞的情况下,宿主基站判断UE DRB所期待的缓存大小是否大于或等于第二门限值。
在UE DRB所期待的缓存大小大于或等于第二门限值的情况下,宿主基站可以确定第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的传输路径上的第一回传链路发生拥塞,第一回传链路时第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的传输路径上的任一回传链路;在UE DRB所期待的缓存大小低于第二门限值的情况下,宿主基站确定第一IAB节点与终端设备之间的接入链路发生拥塞。或者,在UE DRB所期待的缓存大小大于第二门限值的情况下,宿主基站可以确定第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的传输路径上的第一回传链路发生拥塞,第一回传链路时第一IAB节点与宿主基站之间的传输路径上的任一回传链路;在UE DRB所期待的缓存大小低于或等于第二门限值的情况下,宿主基站确定第一IAB节点与终端设备之间的接入链路发生拥塞。
可选地,第一门限值是通信协议规定的,或者第一门限值是宿主基站配置的。
可选地,第二门限值是通信协议规定的,或者第二门限值是宿主基站配置的。

步骤S1110,第二IAB节点向第一节点发送无线回传链路失败指示信息,无线回传链路失败指示信息用于指示第二IAB节点与其父节点之间的无线回传链路发生失败或RRC重建立失败,第一节点是第一IAB节点或终端设备。
其中,第二IAB节点是第一IAB节点的父节点,终端设备是第二IAB节点所服务的终端设备。
可选地,无线回传链路失败指示信息可以通过在第二IAB节点发送的下行控制消息(downlink control information,DCI)中携带,该DCI的循环冗余校验(cyclic redundancy check,CRC)可以是寻呼无线网络临时标识(paging radio network tempory identity,P-RNTI)。具体的,可以在DCI中的短消息(short message)中的预留比特中添加1比特用于无线回传链路失败指示。例如用1比特中的1标识无线回传链路失败,0表示无线回传链路未失败;或用1比特中的0表示无线回传链路失败,1表示无线回传链路未失败。
可选地,无线回传链路失败指示还可以通过在第二IAB节点发送的广播消息中携带, 具体的可以携带于第二IAB节点发送的主信息块消息(master information block,MIB),系统信息(system information block,SIB)或物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)等信令或信道中,其中SIB消息包括SIB1、SIB2等一系列SIB消息。
可选地,调度寻呼消息的DCI中包括第五标识,第五标识用于触发第一IAB节点立即读取广播消息。减少第一IAB节点等待读取广播消息的时延。
步骤S1120,第一节点根据无线回传链路失败指示信息,触发RRC重建立或触发小区重选。
以下,以两种情况为例,详细描述第一节点根据无线回传链路失败指示信息,进行第一操作。
情况A:第一节点处于RRC连接态(RRC conneted)。
若第一节点仅存在一个父节点,则第一节点基于回传链路失败指示链路指示,确定第一节点与第二IAB节点之间的链路失败或第一节点触发RRC重建立流程。
情况B:第一节点处于RRC空闲态(RRC idle)。
第一节点触发小区重选。
通过上述无线回传链路失败指示信息,第一节点能够感知第二IAB节点与第二IAB节点的父节点之间回传链路的链路情况,在第二IAB节点与第二IAB节点的父节点之间回传链路的链路发生失败或RRC重建立失败的情况下,第一节点可以提前进行小区重选或RRC重建立,寻找新的父节点进行接入,有效的降低了因第二IAB节点与第二IAB节点的父节点之间回传链路的链路发生失败或RRC重建立失败而导致的数据传输中断时间。
