具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进LTE系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统、新无线(New Radio,NR)或未来的5G系统等。
特别地,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种基于非正交多址接入技术的通信系统,例如稀疏码多址接入(Sparse Code Multiple Access,SCMA)系统、低密度签名(Low Density Signature,LDS)系统等,当然SCMA系统和LDS系统在通信领域也可以被称为其他名称;进一步地,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于采用非正交多址接入技术的多载波传输系统,例如采用非正交多址接入技术正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)、滤波器组多载波(Filter Bank Multi-Carrier,FBMC)、通用频分复用(Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing,GFDM)、滤波正交频分复用(Filtered-OFDM,F-OFDM)系统等。
随着5G应用的不断发展,设备间直连通信业务作为一个新的业务形态被引入到标准中进行相关的标准化业务。
设备间直连通信业务主要针对增强现实(Augmented Reality,AR)/虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)、游戏等应用,对速率、时延、丢包率、高速编解码等业务质量有很高的 要求。例如:对于VR游戏,需要达到10Gbps速率,丢包率不可超过10E-4。针对设备间直连通信业务建立的会话,在相同设备间直连通信业务会话的UE可以认为组成一个业务应用组,例如:游戏中组队。
组内终端之间有以下可能的通信方式,可以组合使用:
●彼此临近,例如:使用设备到设备(Device-to-Device,D2D)技术进行广播或组播,或建立侧行链路(sidelink)(也称为使用PC5接口)进行1对1通信(单播);
●远离彼此,例如使用UE-网络-服务器-对端网络-对端UE(也称为使用Uu接口)。
D2D技术的通信架构如图1所示。D2D业务还被称为基于距离的业务(Proximity-based Services,ProSe)。如图1所示,在D2D通信架构中,由于UE1和UE2提供了相关的ProSe应用(application),其和ProSe应用服务器的接口为PC1接口,UE A和UE B之间的接口为PC5,用于UE之间的直接通信,UE A和UE B分别通过PC3接口与ProSe功能实体连接,ProSe功能实体与现有EPC之间的接口是PC4,ProSe功能实体与ProSe应用服务器的接口为PC2。在演进分组系统(Evolved Packet System,EPS)中,整个EPS包括无线接入网(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN)和移动核心网(Evolved PacketCore Networking,EPC),其中,EPC包含了归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)、移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)、服务GPRS支持节点(Serving GPRS Support Node,SGSN)、策略计费规则功能(Policy and Charging Rule Function,PCRF)、服务网关(Serving Gateway,S-GW)、分组数据网关(PDN Gateway,P-GW)和分组数据网络(Packet Data Network,PDN)。其中,E-UTRAN与EPC之间的接口为S1接口,UE A和UE B分别通过LTE-Uu接口与E-UTRAN相连。
在这种通信架构中,终端与终端之间的业务可以通过PC5接口直接通信,也可以是终端的业务经过Uu接口发送到应用服务器,应用服务器再将业务发送到对端终端。
对于终端与网络之间的通信可以是终端直接将业务发送到网络,其通信架构如图2所示。也可以是通过中继的方式发送给网络,其通信架构如图3所示。
如图2所示,该通信系统可以包括接入和移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)、会话管理功能(Session Management Function,SMF)、策略控制功能(Policy Control Function,PCF)、应用层功能(Application Function,AF)、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)(其中,UE也可以称为终端设备)、接入网(Access Network,AN或Radio Access Network,RAN)、用户平面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)、数据网络(Data Network,DN)、网络切片选择功能(Network Slice Selection Function,NSSF)、鉴权服务功能(Authentication Server Function,AUSF)以及统一数据管理(Unified Data Management,UDM)。
其中,AMF负责移动性管理,并与UE和AN或RAN相连,SMF负责会话管理,与UPF或UDM相连,PCF负责策略控制,可与SMF、AF、以及AMF相连,UDM负 责用于签约数据管理。
各个设备之间可以具有不同的接口,例如,N1是连接UE和AMF之间的接口,N2是连接AMF和AN或RAN之间的接口,N3是连接AN或RAN和UPF之间的接口,N4是连接SMF和UPF之间的接口,N5是连接PCF和AF之间的接口,N6是连接UPF和DN之间的接口,N7是连接SMF和PCF之间的接口,N8是连接AMF和UDM之间的接口,N9是UPF之间的接口,N10是连接UDM和SMF之间的接口,N11是连接AMF和SMF之间的接口,N12是连接AUSF和AMF之间的接口,N13是连接AUSF和UDM之间的接口,N14是AMF之间的接口,N15是AMF和PCF之间的接口,N22是连接NSSF和AMF之间的接口,Uu接口是连接UE和AN或RAN之间的接口。
如图3所示,远端UE与eNB之间通过中继UE进行通信,其中,中继UE也被称为ProSe UE到网络中继。中继UE可以通过Uu接口连接到eNB,远端UE通过PC5接口连接到中继UE,中继UE相对于网络来说是可以是在覆盖范围内的,远端UE可以在覆盖范围之外。eNB是EPC的一部分,eNB可以通过SGi接口连接到公共安全应用服务器。
可选地,上述各种通信架构中的网络设备可以是与终端设备(或称为通信终端、终端)通信的设备。网络设备可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端设备进行通信。可选地,该网络设备可以是GSM系统或CDMA系统中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,CRAN)中的无线控制器,或者该网络设备可以为移动交换中心、中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、集线器、交换机、网桥、路由器、5G网络中的网络设备gNB或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)中的网络设备等。
可选地,上述各通信架构中的终端设备包括但不限于用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、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、计算设备或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网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)中的终端设备等,本发明实施例并不限定。
可选地,5G系统或5G网络还可以称为新无线(New Radio,NR)系统或NR网络。
应理解,本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
目前,在终端与终端的业务,或者终端与网络的业务传输过程中,如果发生链路失败,终端将会告知应用层,由应用层发起重建,但是这个重建过程可能会有比较大的时延,从而导致业务中断的时间较长。
图4是本申请实施例提供的链路切换的方法100的示意性框图。如图4所示,该方法包括以下部分或全部内容:
S110,在第一通信设备与第二通信设备之间的第一链路无法进行业务传输的情况下,所述第一通信设备建立所述第一通信设备与所述第二通信设备之间的第二链路;
S120,所述第一通信设备使用所述第二链路进行所述业务传输;
其中,所述第一链路和所述第二链路上的通信设备不同。
,如上文描述可知,终端在与终端通信的过程中,或者与网络通信的过程中分别可以有两条链路选择,在本申请实施例中,如果当前进行通信的第一链路无法进行业务传输,终端可以重新建立另外一条新的链路,即第二链路,并使用该第二链路进行通信。
可选地,本申请实施例的方法可以适用于终端与终端的通信中,即第一通信设备为终端设备,第二通信设备为终端设备;也可以适用于终端与网络的通信中,即第一通信设备为终端设备,第二通信设备为网络设备。并且第一链路与第二链路上经过的通信设备不同。第一链路无法进行业务传输可以认为是第一链路上的某个通信设备不好,可以通过重新替换或删减该通信设备来实现第二链路的建立,进而再使用第二链路进行通信。
下面将分别以进行终端-终端业务以及终端-网络业务为例详细描述本申请技术方案。
终端-终端业务:第一链路可以是直连链路(即使用PC5接口)并且该第一链路上的通信设备只包括第一终端设备和第二终端设备,第二链路为第一网络链路(即使用Uu接口)且该第二链路上的通信设备除了包括第一终端设备、第二终端设备,还包括网络设备;或者,第一链路可以是第一网络链路(即使用Uu接口)且该第一链路上的通信设备除了包括第一终端设备、第二终端设备,还包括网络设备,第二链路为直连链路(即使用PC5接口)并且该第二链路上的通信设备只包括第一终端设备和第二终端设备。
图5示出了本申请实施例关于终端-终端业务在直连链路和网络链路之间切换的一种示意图。如图5所示,在步骤1中,UE 1与UE 2正在通过直连链路进行通信;在步骤2中,UE 1可以检测出来直连链路失败或者即将失败,换句话说,直连链路无法进行业务传输。在步骤3中,UE 1可以建立网络链路的连接,即可以向核心网(Core Network,CN)发送非接入层(Non-access stratum,NAS)消息,其中,可以包括服务请求或协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话建立请求。可选地,在步骤4中,UE 1可以通知UE 2,即向UE 2发送指示信息,该指示信息的主要作用是使得UE 2也开始建立网络链路,具体地,该指示信息可以是指示以下信息中的至少一种信息:直连链路失败或将要失败,业务链路将要或已经切换到网络链路以及直连链路将要或已经释放等,本申请实施例对该指示信息的具体内容不作限制;在步骤5中,UE 1和UE 2可以进行链路切换的协商,进而UE 1就可以通过网络链路与UE 2进行终端-终端业务的传输。
可选地,直连链路的检测也可以由UE 2进行,即由UE 2主动进行直连链路的检测, 并在直连链路无法进行业务传输的情况下,向UE 1发送开始建立网络链路的指示信息。进而,UE 1开始建立网络链路的连接,并在与UE 2进行链路切换的协商之后使用网络链路进行终端-终端业务的传输。
可选地,UE 2也可以执行与UE 1类似的步骤,直到将终端与终端之间的通信从直连链路切换为网络链路为止。无论是UE 1和UE 2中的哪个终端先检测出来直连链路无法进行业务传输,都可以向对端指示,例如,可以通过PC5-S(Signalling)信令或者PC5-无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令指示。对端在接收到指示信息之后,同样地,可以开始建立网络链路的连接。
UE 1与UE 2进行链路切换的协商过程,可以包括:
一种可能的实施例,在UE 1先完成网络链路的建立的情况下,可以向UE 2发送指示信息,指示UE 2结束在直连链路上收发数据,和/或,指示UE 2在网络链路上收发数据。而UE2在接收到该指示信息之后,就可以直接不通过直连链路向UE 1发送数据,也不通过直连链路接收UE 1的数据。进一步地,当UE 2接收到结束在直连链路上发送或接收数据的指示信息之后,还可以进一步地判断UE 2此时的网络链路是否已经建立完成,如果已经建立完成,则UE 2可以直接不通过直连链路向UE 1发送数据,也不通过直连链路接收UE 1的数据;而是通过网络链路向UE 1发送数据以及通过网络链路接收UE 1的数据;而如果还没有建立完成,则UE 2可以向UE 1回复继续使用直连链路。可选地,UE 2此时可以选择继续建立网络链路,也可以停止建立网络链路,如果后续UE 2的网络链路建立成功了,可以告知UE 1切换到网络链路。可选地,该指示信息中还可以携带定时器信息,如果定时器超时了,UE 2才结束在直连链路上接收和发送数据。或者,如果定时器超时了,UE 2就可以在网络链路上收发数据了。再或者,该定时器可以用于在UE 2还没有完成网络链路的建立时,若定时器超时就不再建立了,若定时器未超时则继续建立。可选地,该定时器可以在UE 2接收到携带定时器信息的指示信息时启动或者向UE 1回复该指示信息的响应信息时启动。
另外一种可替代的实施例,在UE 2先完成网络链路的建立的情况下,可以向UE 1发送指示信息,指示UE 1结束在直连链路上收发数据,和/或,指示UE 1在网络链路上收发数据。而UE 1在接收到该指示信息之后,就可以直接不通过直连链路向UE 2发送数据,也不通过直连链路接收UE 2的数据。进一步地,当UE 1接收到结束在直连链路上发送或接收数据的指示信息之后,还可以进一步地判断UE 1此时的网络链路是否已经建立完成,如果已经建立完成,则UE 1可以直接不通过直连链路向UE 2发送数据,也不通过直连链路接收UE 2的数据;而是通过网络链路向UE 2发送数据以及通过网络链路接收UE 2的数据;而如果还没有建立完成,则UE 1可以向UE 2回复继续使用直连链路。可选地,UE 1此时可以选择继续建立网络链路,也可以停止建立网络链路,如果后续UE 1的网络链路建立成功了,可以告知UE 2切换到网络链路。可选地,该指示信息中还可以携带定时器信息,如果定时器超时了,UE 1才结束在直连链路上接收和发送数据。或者,如果定时器超时了,UE 1就可以在网络链路上收发数据了。再或者,该定时 器可以用于在UE 1还没有完成网络链路的建立时,若定时器超时就不再建立了,若定时器未超时则继续建立。可选地,该定时器可以在UE 1接收到携带定时器信息的指示信息时启动或者向UE 2回复该指示信息的响应信息时启动。
可选地,只要UE 1或UE 2完成网络链路的建立,都可以向对端发送指示信息。
可选地,结束在直连链路上发送或接收数据的指示信息也可以通过PC5-S(Signalling)信令或者PC5-无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令指示。
另外一种可替代的实施例,当UE 1的网络链路建立完成时,可以通过网络链路向UE 2发送数据,当UE 2在网络链路上接收到UE 1的数据时,则使用网络链路发送数据,换句话说,当UE 2在网络链路上接收到UE 1的数据时,则使用网络链路进行业务传输。具体地,UE 2的应用层接收到来自UE 1的数据,UE 2的应用层通知低层,例如PC5层或者RRC层。类似地,当UE 2的网络链路建立完成时,可以通过网络链路向UE 1发送数据,当UE 1在网络链路上接收到UE 2的数据时,则使用网络链路发送数据,换句话说,当UE 1在网络链路上接收到UE 2的数据时,则使用网络链路进行业务传输。
可选地,UE 1或UE 2确定直连链路无法进行业务传输,可以判断直连链路的链路质量是否满足预设条件。例如,可以基于网络配置的准则确定直连链路是否无法进行业务传输。具体地,可以基于网络配置的链路质量的门限判断,例如,质量链路的链路质量的测量值小于门限值;或者,可以基于特定的应用、服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)或者PDU会话判断,例如,是否小于特定的应用、QoS或者PDU会话中的门限值,该特定的应用、QoS或者PDU会话可以是与待传输的业务相关的。
需要说明的是,上文中是以将直连链路切换到网络链路为例描述的,但本申请实施例同样适用于将网络链路切换到直连链路。具体地,UE 1或UE 2检测出与网络之间的网络链路无法进行业务传输,可以建立直连链路,并使用直连链路进行业务传输。进一步地,UE 1或UE 2向对端指示网络链路无法进行业务传输,或者还可以向对端指示结束在网络链路发送或接收数据,该方案的详细描述可参见上文,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
应理解,图5是以RAN1服务UE1,RAN2服务UE2为例示出的,UE1和UE2可以是由同一个RAN服务。
终端-网络业务:第一链路为中继链路且第一链路上的通信设备包括远端终端设备、网络设备以及中继终端设备,第二链路为第二网路链路且第二链路上的通信设备包括远端终端设备和网络设备;或第一链路为第二网路链路且第一链路上的通信设备包括远端终端设备和网络设备,第二链路为中继链路且第二链路上的通信设备包括远端终端设备、网络设备以及中继终端设备。
图6示出了本申请实施例关于终端-网络业务在中继链路和网络链路之间切换的一种示意图。如图6所示,在步骤1中,UE 1与UE 2正在通过中继链路进行通信;在步骤2中,UE 1可以检测出来中继链路失败或者即将失败,换句话说,中继链路无法进行业务传输。在步骤3中,UE 1可以建立网络链路的连接,即可以向核心网(Core Network, CN)发送非接入层(Non-access stratum,NAS)消息,其中,可以包括服务请求或协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话建立请求。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,中继链路主要包括图3所示的使用PC5接口以及使用Uu接口这两部分。远端UE可以自己检测其与中继UE之间的直连链路失败或即将失败,即无法进行业务传输,远端UE就可以认为其与网络设备(RAN)之间的中继链路无法进行业务传输,进而可以向CN发起网络链路的建立。或者,也可以由中继UE检测其与远端UE之间的直连链路无法进行业务传输,和/或其与网络设备(RAN)之间的网络链路无法进行业务传输,那么中继UE就可以向远端UE指示中继链路无法进行业务传输,进而远端UE可以向CN发起网络链路的建立。
同样地,判断中继链路无法进行业务传输的方式同上文描述的判断直连链路无法进行业务传输的方式类似,此处不再赘述。
当远端UE发起网络链路的连接建立请求,并在建立完成之后就可以使用网络链路进行业务传输。进一步地,远端UE还可以通知网络侧删除中继链路的连接,或者通知中继UE发起中继链路的释放请求。可选地,中继UE也可以主动发起中继链路的释放请求。
需要说明的是,上文中是以将中继链路切换到网络链路为例描述的,但本申请实施例同样适用于将网络链路切换到中继链路。本申请实施例对此不构成限定。
