Description

一种通信方法、装置及系统
本申请要求于2019年05月15日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为201910408185.2、发明名称为“一种通信方法、装置及系统”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
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
随着通信技术的快速发展,车辆对所有(vehicle to everything,V2X)技术已广泛应用。V2X系统可以采用两种通信方式,一种是Uu接口通信,即以基站作为控制中心,将车辆与基础设施、或车辆与其他车辆之间的数据通过基站的Uu接口进行传输;另一种是PC5接口通信,即车辆之间数据通过PC5接口进行直接传输。
在V2X通信中,若V2X终端在蜂窝网络的覆盖下,那么V2X终端在蜂窝网络覆盖的区域内既可以通过Uu接口进行通信,以实现大带宽、大覆盖的通信,也可以通过PC5接口进行通信,以实现车辆与周边环境节点低时延、高可靠的直接通信;若V2X终端在蜂窝网络的覆盖之外,那么V2X设备在无网络部署的区域内可以通过PC5接口进行通信,满足行车安全需求。
对于PC5接口通信,虽然V2X终端的数据无需通过基站进行中转,但在某些场景下也需要基站依据该V2X终端的上下文为该V2X终端分配PC5接口的资源,例如,基站调度模式的PC5接口通信。但是,按照第五代(the 5th generation,5G)移动通信系统通信机制,终端在接入网络时,向网络发起注册,以建立终端与接入网设备之间以及接入网设备与核心网设备之间的连接。在终端完成注册之后,核心网设备若判断终端没有数据或信令传输需求,核心网设备可能会发起通信连接和信令连接释放以节约资源。通信连接和信令连接的释放过程中,接入网设备会删除保存的终端的上下文。那么,接入网设备如何保留V2X终端的上下文成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法、装置及系统,以实现接入网设备保留V2X终端的上下文,进而保证V2X终端实现PC5接口通信。
为达到上述目的,本申请实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种通信方法,该方法可以包括:核心网设备获取指示信息,该指示信息用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放核心网设备与该V2X终端之间的信令连接,或者,该指示信息用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放该V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接;核心网设备根据获取的指示信息,保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接。
通过本申请提供的通信方法,核心网设备根据指示信息保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接,这样一来,V2X终端注册阶段 接入网设备保存的该V2X终端的上下文得以保留,以支持接入网设备依据V2X终端的上下文为V2X终端分配PC5接口的资源,保证了V2X终端实现PC5接口通信。
具体的,在无线通信中终端向网络发起注册,通过注册流程,建立了核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接(例如5G中的N1连接)、终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接(例如5G中的N2连接)以及终端与接入网设备之间的连接(例如5G中的RRC连接),并且使得终端进入了连接态。在终端完成注册之后,核心网设备若判断终端没有数据或信令传输需求,核心网设备通过向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息,以实现释放核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接、释放该终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接、以及释放该终端与其接入网设备之间的连接,同时接入网设备删除内部保存的该终端的上下文,这时候该终端进入了空闲态。可见,释放核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接、释放终端在核心网设备与终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接、释放终端与接入网设备之间的连接、接入网设备删除内部保存的终端的上下文、终端进入空闲态,是相互等价的概念,可以相互替换。
换言之,保持或不释放核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接、保持或不释放终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接、保持或不释放终端与接入网设备之间的连接、接入网设备保留内部保存的终端的上下文、终端保持连接态,是相互等价的概念,可以相互替换。
因此,本申请中描述的指示信息,除了上述用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放核心网设备与该V2X终端之间的信令连接,或者,该指示信息用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放该V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接之外,指示信息还可以用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放接入网设备与该V2X终端之间的连接;或者,指示信息还可以用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后接入网设备保留内部保存的终端的上下文,或者,指示信息还可以用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后V2X终端保持连接态。

其中,存在待处理的上行信令,可以等价于:存在待处理的第一服务请求(service request)之外的其他上行非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)消息,第一服务请求用于激活用户面资源;或者,存在待处理的第二服务请求,第二服务请求用于不激活用户面资源,可以相互替换。
在一种可能的实现方式中,指示信息可以包括以下一种或多种:V2X终端的类型,和V2X终端支持PC5接口通信的能力信息。相应的,核心网设备获取指示信息,可以实现为:核心网设备从V2X终端的签约信息获取指示信息。核心网设备从签约信息获取指示信息,仅需修改核心网设备的处理逻辑,其他网元的逻辑均不修改,实现简单且兼容度高。

第二方面,本申请提供另一种通信方法,该方法可以包括:当V2X终端采用基站调度模式的PC5接口通信传输V2X业务数据时,或者,当V2X终端采用当前驻留小区控制的频谱传输V2X业务数据时,该V2X终端向核心网设备发送指示信息,该指示信息用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放核心网设备与V2X终端之间的信令连接,或者,该指示信息用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接;之后,V2X终端向V2X终端的接入网设备发送资源请求消息,该资源请求消息用于向接入网设备请求PC5接口通信资源,PC5接口通信资源用于传输V2X业务数据。
通过本申请提供的通信方法,当V2X终端存在需接入网设备分配资源的PC5接口通信需求时,V2X终端向核心网设备发送指示信息,以使得核心网设备根据指示信息保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接,这样一来,V2X终端注册阶段接入网设备保存的该V2X终端的上下文得以保留,以支持接入网设备依据V2X终端的上下文为V2X终端分配PC5接口的资源,保证了V2X终端实现PC5接口通信。

在本申请实施例中,至少一个还可以描述为一个或多个,多个可以是两个、三个、四个或者更多个,本申请不做限制。
此外,本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请实施例提供的方法可用于支持V2X业务数据传输的任一通信系统,该通信系统可以为第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)通信系统,例如,长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统,又可以为第五代(5th generation,5G)移动通信系统或者新空口(new radio,NR)系统,也可以为非3GPP通信系统,不予限制。
如图1所示,提供了一种通信系统的架构图,该通信系统可以包括终端、接入网设备、核心网设备、数据网络(data network,DN)等。参见图1,核心网设备可以包括接入和AMF、策略控制功能(policy control function,PCF)、统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)、用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)。下面结合图1,对本申请所涉及的装置进行介绍。
终端,可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)或者终端设备(terminal)。该终端可以支持V2X通信,如:接收或发送V2X消息,此时,该终端又可以称之为V2X终端。其中,V2X消息可以包括但不限于车辆对车辆(vehicle to vehicle,V2V)消息、车对人(vehicle to person,V2P)消息、车对网络(vehicle to network,V2N)消息、车与路面基础设施(vehicle to infrastructure,V2I)信息、车与车之间的防碰撞消息、娱乐应用消息、车与车之间交互的导航消息等。显然,图1所示终端可以包括但不限于车载终端、手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑或带无线收发功能的电脑、智能加油站、智能信号灯等等。
本申请实施例中,终端可以通过不同类型的通信接口传输V2X消息。其中,通信接口可以包括PC5口和/或Uu口。
接入网设备,负责无线资源管理,上下行数据分类和QoS应用,以及与控制面网元完成信令处理,与用户面网元完成数据转发等功能。例如,接入网设备可以是基站,宽带网络业务网关(broadband network gateway,BNG),汇聚交换机,非3GPP接入设备等。基站可以包括各种形式的基站,例如:宏基站,微基站(也称为小站),中继站,接入点等,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。对于终端接入核心网的设备,在文中统一称之为接入网设备,不再进行说明。例如,接入网设备可以是4G网络中的演进型通用陆地无线接入网(evolved universal terrestrial radio access network, E-UTRAN)设备、5G网络中的下一代无线接入网(next generation radio access network,NG-RAN)设备等。

需要说明的是,除RAN之外的运营商网元构成的网络可以成为核心网,在4G网络中,其包括MME,S-GW,P-GW,HSS等网元,在5G网络中,其包括AMF,SMF,UPF,UDM,PCF等网元。
图1中的Uu接口是终端和接入网设备之间的无线连接接口。N2接口为接入网设备和核心网设备(AMF)的参考点,用于NAS消息的发送,还可能包括传输接入网配置的相关信息等,因此接入网设备和核心网设备之间的通信连接可以称之为N2连接。PC5接口为终端之间用于V2X业务的用户面ProSe直接通信的参考点。
需要指出的是,本申请实施例所应用的网络架构不限定图1所示的网络架构。此外,图1所示网络架构仅为示例性架构图,通信系统包括的网元的数量以及网元名称均不做限定。例如,除图1所示网络功能实体外,图1所示网络还可以包括其他功能实体。再例如,上述图1架构中的网元、各个网元之间的接口名字以及各个协议层的命名只是一个示例,具体实现中网元、网元之间的接口名字以及协议层可以为其他名字,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
本申请实施例提供的方案可以应用于无线通信系统中终端向网络注册过程以及注册完成后各个网元的交互过程,在描述本申请的具体方案之前,此处先对无线通信系统中终端向网络注册过程以及注册后各个网元的交互过程进行简单描述。
在无线通信系统中,终端可以在初始接入网络,或者,定期注册,或者,移动性导致的注册等多种场景下向网络发送注册请求,本申请实施例对此不进行具体限定。以5G通信系统为例,描述终端的注册流程以及注册完成后各个网元的交互过程,如图2示意,该过程可以包括:
S201、终端向AMF发送注册请求消息。
其中,注册请求消息为NAS消息,注册请求消息携带终端的标识。终端的标识用于唯一指示该终端,本申请对于标识信息的内容不进行具体限定。
进一步的,注册请求消息中还可以包括终端的能力信息,该能力信息用于表示终端所具备的能力。
具体的,注册请求消息通过RAN发送至AMF。
S202、AMF根据终端的标识,从UDM处获取该终端的签约信息。
其中,在S202中,核心网设备根据终端的标识,从UDM处获取该终端的签约信息可以具体实现为:核心网设备根据终端的标识以及终端的其他信息从UDM获取终端的签约信息。该其他信息可以为终端的能力信息或者其他,本申请实施例对此不进行具体限定。
S203、AMF选择PCF,并建立AMF-PCF的关联关系。
在S203中,核心网设备可以根据终端的签约信息选择对应的PCF。在S203中,核心网设备还可以将终端关于策略的请求信息发送至PCF,用于PCF更新该终端的策略。例如,核心网设备可以将终端已获知的策略(policy)携带在终端的策略容器(policy container)中发送至PCF。需要说明的是,S203的具体实现可以参考标准3GPP TS 23.502以及3GPP TS 23.503,本申请实施例对此不再进行赘述。
S204、核心网设备向终端发送注册接受消息(registration accept message)。
其中,注册接受请求是一个NAS消息,核心网设备发送的注册接受消息,会通过在下一代应用协议(next generation application protocol,NGAP)接口承载的终端上下文建立请求(UE context setup request)发送至接入网设备,由接入网设备通过RRC连接重配置(RRC connection reconfiguration)消息将注册接受请求发送到终端。
至此,终端完成了注册,建立了AMF与RAN之间的N2连接,RAN与终端间的RRC连接,以及AMF和终端间的N1连接,RAN中保存了终端的上下文,终端进入了连接态。
在终端完成注册后,如图1所示,各个网元的交互过程包括:
S205、AMF判断终端是否有数据或信令传输需求。
在S205中,若AMF判断终端有数据或信令传输需求,则保持AMF与RAN之间的N2连接以及RAN与终端间的N1连接,进行后续通信过程。若AMF判断终端没有数据或信令传输需求,则执行S206。
具体的,在S205中,AMF如何判断终端是否有数据或信令传输需求可以根据实际需求配置,本申请实施例对此不进行具体限定。
例如,当终端在注册完成后还有待处理的上行信令时,终端的注册请求中会携带还需再发送NAS消息的指示(例如follow-on request),此时AMF可以判断终端有信令传输需求。其中,终端注册后发送的NAS消息可以包括用于建立PDU会话或者激活PDU会话的NAS消息。
再例如,若终端在此前已经注册至网络,并且已经建立了相应的PDU会话,由于定期注册或者移动性导致的注册中,终端在idle状态发起的S201中的注册请求,并且注册请求包含激活会话的信元(PDU session to-be-activated的IE),此时AMF可以判断终端数据传输需求。
S206、AMF启动用于释放N2连接的定时器。
其中,用于释放N2连接的定时器可以为T3540定时器,T3540定时器时长可以为10秒。在T3540定时器超时之后,执行S206。
S206、AMF向RAN发送用于释放N2连接的NGAP消息。
S207、RAN接收用于释放N2连接的NGAP消息。
S208、RAN启动用于释放N2连接的定时器。
其中,用于释放N2连接的定时器可以为Inactivity timer定时器。若在Inactivity timer定时器运行过程中,RAN接收到终端的数据传输需求,则拒绝释放N2连接;若在Inactivity timer定时器超时后,RAN未接收到终端的数据传输需求,则执行S209释放N2连接。
S209、释放N2连接。
释放N2连接的具体过程可以包括:RAN删除保存的终端的上下文,RAN向终端发送用于释放N1连接的消息,RAN响应AMF的用于释放N2连接的NGAP消息等。在执行S208之后,AMF与RAN之间的N2连接以及RAN与终端间的RRC连接均释放,RAN中保存了终端的上下文删除,终端进入了空闲态。
下面将结合附图对本申请实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。需要指出的是,本申请下述实施例中各个网元之间的消息名字或消息中各参数的名字等只是一个示例,具体实现中也可以是其他的名字,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。

一方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,应用于V2X终端、接入网设备以及核心网设备的交互过程中。图4为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程图,如图4所示,该方法可以包括:
S401、当V2X终端采用基站调度模式的PC5接口通信传输V2X业务数据时,或者,当V2X终端采用当前驻留小区控制的频谱传输V2X业务数据时,V2X终端向核 心网设备发送指示信息。
其中,采用基站调度模式的PC5接口通信传输V2X业务数据,或者,采用当前驻留小区控制的频谱传输V2X业务数据,可以称之为模式1(mode1)PC5接口通信,其本质可以指的是由接入网设备分配用于传输V2X业务数据的资源,该资源可以用于发送端和接收端之间直接通信,接入网设备无需对该V2X业务数据进行转发。
应理解,在实际应用中,S401也可以替换为:当V2X终端处于业务数据无需在接入网设备中转传输但需接入网设备分配传输V2X业务数据的资源的场景时,V2X终端向核心网设备发送指示信息。
例如,在S401中,V2X终端可以根据用户在V2X应用中操作产生的应用层数据,该应用层数据可以是V2X业务数据。结合V2X终端内配置的策略,确定采用基站调度模式的PC5接口通信方式传输V2X业务数据时,或者,V2X终端采用当前驻留小区控制的频谱传输V2X业务数据。
当然,在实际应用中,可以根据实际需求配置确定传输V2X业务数据的方式,本申请实施例不进行具体限定。
其中,指示信息可以用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放核心网设备与V2X终端之间的信令连接。或者,指示信息可以用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接,该通信连接可以是N2连接。
示例性的,在无线通信中终端向网络发起注册,通过注册流程,建立了核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接(例如,5G中的N1连接)、终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接(例如,5G中的N2连接)以及终端与接入网设备之间的连接(例如,5G中的RRC连接),并且使得终端进入了连接态。在终端完成注册之后,核心网设备若判断终端没有数据或信令传输的需求,核心网设备通过向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息,以实现释放核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接、释放该终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接、以及释放终端与接入网设备之间的连接,同时接入网设备删除内部保存的终端的上下文,这时候终端进入了空闲态。
可见,释放核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接、释放终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接、释放终端与接入网设备之间的连接、接入网设备删除内部保存的终端的上下文、终端进入空闲态,是相互等价的概念,可以相互替换。
换言之,保持或不释放核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接、保持或不释放终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接、保持或不释放终端与接入网设备之间的连接、接入网设备保留内部保存的终端的上下文、终端保持连接态,是相互等价的概念,可以相互替换。
因此,本申请中描述的指示信息,除了上述用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放核心网设备与该V2X终端之间的信令连接,或者,该指示信息用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放该V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接之外,指示信息还可以用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后保持或不释放接入网设备与该V2X终端之间的连接;或者,指示信息还可以用于指示在V2X终 端完成注册后接入网设备保留内部保存的终端的上下文,或者,指示信息还可以用于指示在V2X终端完成注册后V2X终端保持连接态。
需要说明的是,对于指示信息的具体内容,可以根据实际需求配置,本申请实施例对此不进行具体限定。
示例性的,本申请实施例提供如下两种指示信息可能的实现方式:
方式1、指示信息可以为隐式的指示。
例如,指示信息可以包括以下一种或多种:V2X终端的类型,第一指示,和用于指示V2X终端支持PC5接口通信的能力信息。
其中,第一指示用于指示V2X终端存在待处理的上行信令。存在待处理的上行信令,可以替换为:存在待处理的第一服务请求(service request)之外的其他上行非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)消息,第一服务请求用于激活用户面资源;或者,存在待处理的第二服务请求,第二服务请求用于不激活用户面资源。
例如,第一指示可以为follow-on request的标识。
方式2、指示信息为显式的指示。
例如,指示信息可以为请求保持或不释放核心网设备与终端之间的信令连接、或者请求保持或不释放终端在核心网设备与该终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接、或者请求保持或不释放终端与接入网设备之间的连接、或者请求接入网设备保留内部保存的终端的上下文、或者请求终端保持连接态的显式信元。
具体的,在S401中,V2X终端向核心网设备发送指示信息,可以通过但不限于下述两种方式实现:
实现方式A、V2X终端向核心网设备发送注册请求消息,注册请求消息携带指示信息。
其中,该注册请求消息在S201中的注册请求消息的基础上,携带了指示信息。
实现方式B、V2X终端向核心网设备发送独立的指示信息。
在实现方式B中,S401的执行时机可根据实际需求选择,本申请实施例不进行具体限定。例如,S401可以在V2X终端注册的过程中执行,或者,也可以在V2X终端注册完成后执行。
需要说明的是,S401中V2X终端向核心网设备发送指示信息,是通过接入网设备向核心网设备发送的,对于该过程中接入网设备的处理逻辑本申请不进行赘述。
S402、核心网设备获取指示信息。
其中,对于指示信息的功能已经在S401中进行了详细描述,此处不再进行赘述。

一种可能的实现中,S402中核心网设备获取的指示信息即S401中V2X终端发送的指示信息。在该实现中,S402中核心网设备直接接收来自V2X的指示信息即可。
对应于S401中的实现方式A和实现方式B,S402中核心网设备接收来自V2X终端的指示信息具体可以实现为:核心网设备接收来自V2X终端的注册请求消息,该注 册请求消息携带指示信息;或者,核心网设备接收来自V2X终端发送的独立的指示信息。
另一种可能的实现中,S402中核心网设备获取的指示信息中的V2X终端的类型、用于指示V2X终端支持PC5接口通信的能力信息为该V2X终端的签约信息中的内容。在该实现方式中,S402中核心网设备获取指示信息具体可以实现为:核心网设备接收来自V2X终端的指示信息,并且向签约信息管理网元请求V2X终端的签约信息以获取指示信息中的V2X终端的类型和/或用于指示V2X终端支持PC5接口通信的能力信息。
S403、核心网设备根据指示信息,保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接。
一种可能的实现中,S403中核心网设备根据指示信息,保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接,具体可以实现为:核心网设备根据指示信息,在V2X终端完成注册后(即向V2X终端发送注册接受消息后),不向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息。
其中,该连接释放请求消息用于释放V2X终端在核心网设备与该V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接。例如,该连接释放请求消息可以为5G系统中的N2连接释放请求。
需要说明的是,步骤S403可以替换为:核心网设备根据指示信息,不向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息。具体的,核心网设备根据指示信息,在V2X终端完成注册后(即向V2X终端发送注册接受消息后),不向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息。
另一种可能的实现中,S403中核心网设备根据指示信息,保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接,具体可以实现为:核心网设备根据指示信息,在V2X终端完成注册后(即向V2X终端发送注册接受消息后),不启动向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息的定时器。
需要说明的是,步骤S403可以替换为:核心网设备根据指示信息,不启动向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息的定时器。具体的,核心网设备根据指示信息,在V2X终端完成注册后(即向V2X终端发送注册接受消息后),不启动向接入网设备发送连接释放请求消息的定时器。
通过上述S401至S403的过程,实现了接入网设备中保留V2X终端的上下文,使得V2X终端保持连接态,V2X终端则可以通过S404至S406的过程进行PC5接口通信。
S404、V2X终端向V2X终端的接入网设备发送资源请求消息。
其中,该资源请求消息用于向接入网设备请求PC5接口通信资源,PC5接口通信资源用于传输V2X业务数据。
S405、接入网设备接收来自V2X终端的资源请求消息。
S406、接入网设备根据资源请求消息和V2X终端的上下文,为V2X终端分配资源。
通过本申请提供的通信方法,核心网设备根据V2X终端提供的指示信息,保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接,这样一来, V2X终端注册阶段接入网设备保存的该V2X终端的上下文得以保留,以支持接入网设备依据V2X终端的上下文为V2X终端分配PC5接口的资源,保证了V2X终端实现PC5接口通信。
可选的,若S401中V2X终端将指示信息携带在注册请求消息中发送,如图4所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法在S402之后S403之前还可以包括S407,完成V2X终端的注册过程。

其中,该NGAP消息包括注册接受消息以及第二指示。其中,第二指示用于指示接入网设备保持或不释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接。
S407b、接入网设备根据第二指示,设置第一时长。
其中,第一时长为在收到第二指示后检测V2X终端没有数据传输释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接的时长,第一时长小于第二时长。第二时长为接入网设备中设置的用于检测V2X终端没有数据传输而释放释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接的时长。例如,第二时长为Inactivity timer定时器时长。
具体的,若第一时长到期,V2X终端没有数据传输,则接入网设备主动发起释放V2X终端在核心网设备与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接。
S407c、接入网设备向V2X终端发送RRC消息,该RRC消息携带注册接受消息。
可选的,若S401中V2X终端发送的指示信息包括第一指示,如图4所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还可以包括S408和S409。
S408、V2X终端在接收到注册接受消息后,向核心网设备发送NAS消息。
其中,S408中V2X终端发送的NAS消息包括服务请求消息,该服务请求消息用于请求不激活用户面资源。
例如,不激活用户面资源的服务请求用于保持V2X终端处于连接态,或者用于保持N2连接,或不释放N2连接。例如,不激活用户面资源不携带PDU session to be activated信元,即UE不会进一步激活用户面资源。
S409、核心网设备接收NAS消息。
在S409中,核心网设备执行标准3GPP TS 23.502中的Service Request的流程,过程如同V2X终端从空闲态转换成连接态时的过程,此处不再赘述。

其中,该指示信息可以告知AMF,V2X UE存在正在进行的PC5接口通信。
一种可能的实现中,S1507可以替换为:NG-RAN接收到请求资源的RRC消息后,若该V2X UE处于连接态,则向AMF发送NGAP消息,该NGAP消息携带指示信息,即本方案仅适用于当AMF的T3540定时器未超时的情形。
S1508、AMF根据指示信息停止T3540定时器。
在S1507中,AMF根据指示信息停止T3540定时器,以实现保持或不释放V2X UE在AMF与V2X终端的接入网设备之间的通信连接。

S1607、NG-RAN接收到请求资源的RRC消息后,启动第一定时器。
S1608、NG-RAN接收AMF发送的用于释放N2连接的NGAP消息。
若S1608中NG-RAN接收到用于释放N2连接的NGAP消息时,第一定时器超时,NG-RAN参照S209释放N2连接。若S1608中NG-RAN接收到用于释放N2连接的NGAP消息时,第一定时器未超时,NG-RAN执行S1609。
S1609、NG-RAN向AMF发送用于拒绝释放N2连接的NGAP消息。
可选的,NG-RAN向AMF发送的用于拒绝释放N2连接的NGAP消息中可以携带具体的拒绝原因值。该原因值可以为V2X UE存在正在进行的mode1 PC5接口通信。
S1610、AMF根据RAN的拒绝消息中的原因值,判断是否需要继续进行N2连接释放的尝试。
例如,当AMF如果由于AMF的失败导致需要释放N2连接时,AMF会再次发送NGAP消息。如果AMF仅是由于V2X UE存在正在进行的mode1 PC5接口通信,AMF就不会进一步发送NGAP消息。
可选的,如图16所示,在S1609之后,该通信方法还可以包括S1611及S1612,以避免V2X UE mode1PC5接口通信结束仍不释放N2连接。
