为了使得本申请实施例更加的清楚,以下对与本申请实施例相关的概念和部分内容作简单介绍。
1、侧行链路(Sidelink,SL)
终端之间的直连通信链路可以称为侧行链路。终端之间的直连通信接口可以称为PC5接口,因此,侧行链路也可以称为PC5链路。
2、SL的资源分配模式
在LTE中,网络设备为终端的SL通信配置资源池,一个资源池为一段时频资源的集合。终端在SL上进行通信的传输资源是从所配置资源池中确定的。具体的,若终端1向终端2发送数据包,则终端1可以通过两种模式确定在SL上进行通信的传输资源,分别是模式3(mode3)和模式4(mode4)(在NR中分别对应模式1(mode1)和模式2(mode2))。
在mode3下,网络设备通过调度为终端1分配SL上进行通信的传输资源。网络设备可以为终端1动态分配资源,也可以为终端1配置半静态调度(semi-persistent scheduling,SPS)资源。例如,当终端1在SL有待传输数据时,通过Uu口向网络设备上报SL缓存状态报告(buffer status report,BSR)媒介访问控制控制单元(medium access control control element,MAC CE),告知网络设备当前终端1在SL上的待传输数据的数据量。网络设备根据终端1在SL上的待传输数据的数据量为终端1分配SL上进行通信的传输资源。
在mode4下,终端1根据需要自己从资源池中选择资源,该过程中,终端1可能需要监听一段时间才能竞争上资源。
3、接入层(access stratum,AS)连接(connection)、逻辑信道(logical channel,LCH)
若终端1发送数据包,在发送数据包之前,需要建立AS连接和LCH。示例性的,AS连接包括无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接。
目前,可以通过“SRC+DEST”代表唯一的一个AS连接,该AS连接下可以有多个LCH。其中,SRC是指终端1的标识。针对广播业务,DEST是指广播业务标识,该AS连接是指终端1和订阅广播业务的所有终端(或者说接收该DEST对应的广播业务的数据的所有终端)之间的AS连接。针对组播业务,DEST是指终端组的组标识(group ID),该AS连接是指终端1和终端组中的每个终端之间的AS连接。针对单播业务,例如,终端1向订阅该单播业务的终端(记为终端2)发送数据时,DEST是指终端2的标识,该AS连接是指终端1和终端2之间的AS连接。目前,在LTE V2X中仅支持广播业务。NR中支持广播业务、组播业务和单播业务。其中,本申请实施例中的终端组是指订阅组播业务的终端(或者说接收组播业务的数据的终端)所组成的一个组。
具体的,终端1可以维护一个源(Source)层2(Layer-2,L2)标识(Identifier,ID)(也可以称为src_id)和一组自身感兴趣的目的(Destination)L2 ID(也可以称为dest_id)之间的LCH。源L2 ID用于标识终端1。例如,参见图1,终端1的标识为源L2 IDA,终端1中可以维护源L2 IDA与一组目的L2 ID,该组目的L2 ID中包括目的L2 IDA和目的L2 IDB。针对广播业务,目的L2 ID是指广播业务标识,目的L2 ID和V2X业务对应。例如,图1中的目的L2 IDA和目的L2 IDB分别代表不同的广播业务。针对组播业务,目的L2 ID是指终端组的组标识。例如,图1中的目的L2 IDA和目的L2 IDB分别代表终端2所属的不同终端组的组标识。针对单播业务,例如,终端1向终端2发送数据时,一组目的L2 ID中仅包括一个目的L2 ID,该目的L2 ID即终端2的标识。
终端1可以针对每个目的L2 ID维护一组SL LCH,每个SL LCH可以关联到对应的无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)实体和包数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)实体。示例性的,参见图1,终端1针对目的L2 IDA维护的一组SL LCH包括SL LCH1、SL LCH2和SL LCH3,针对目的L2 IDB维护的一组SL LCH包括SL LCH1、SL LCH2和SL LCH3。
类似的,终端2也可以维护源L2 ID和一组自身感兴趣的目的L2 ID中的每个目的L2 ID之间的LCH。其中,针对广播业务,目的L2 ID是指广播业务标识,目的L2 ID和V2X业务对应。针对组播业务,目的L2 ID是指终端2所属的终端组的组标识。针对单播业务,一组自身感兴趣的目的L2 ID中仅包括一个目的L2 ID,该目的L2 ID即终端2的标识。
终端1从应用(Applicaiton,APP)层产生数据包,并向下递交时,可以携带目的L2 ID和近距包粒度优先级(proSe per packet priority,PPPP)等信息,终端1根据目的L2 ID确定递交给哪个目的L2 ID下的SL LCH,进一步的,终端1进行PPPP到SL LCH的映射,并根据数据包关联的PPPP将数据包递交到SL LCH对应的侧行链路无线承载(sidelink radio bearer,SLRB)进行处理。后续在PC5接口,终端1传输的媒介访问控制(medium access control,MAC)协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)中携带源L2 ID+目的L2 ID+LCID。其中,LCID是指逻辑信道标识(logical channel identifier)。终端2接收到终端1发送的MAC PDU后,根据其中携带的源L2 ID+目的L2 ID+LCID可以决定将该MAC SDU递交到哪一个SL LCH进行处理。
本申请下文中的AS连接均指SL AS连接,LCH均指SL LCH。
4、混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)进程、HARQ反馈
HARQ进程(HARQ process)是指网络设备调度进行一次数据传输,HARQ进程数是指并发的HARQ进程的数目。每个HARQ进程都有一个唯一的HARQ进程ID,通过HARQ进程ID可以区分不同的HARQ进程。每个HARQ进程有对应的HARQ缓存(HARQ buffer),终端在使用某个HARQ进程发送数据包或接收到数据包时,可以将数据包存储在该HARQ进程的HARQ缓存。
HARQ是一种结合了前向纠错(forward error correction,FEC)与自动重传请求(automatic repeat request,ARQ)方法的技术。FEC通过添加冗余信息,使得接收端能纠正一部分错误,从而减少重传次数。对于FEC无法纠正的错误,接收端可以通过ARQ机制请求发送端重发数据包。接收端使用检错码,如循环冗余校验(cyclic redundancy check,CRC),来检测接收到的数据包是否出错。如果没有出错,则接收端可以发送肯定应答(acknowledgement,ACK)给发送端,发送端收到ACK后,可以接着发送下一个数据包。如果出错,则接收端可以发送否定应答(negative acknowledgement,NACK)给发送端,发送端收到NACK后,可以重传该数据包。ACK和NACK即HARQ反馈。
本申请下文中的HARQ进程均指SL HARQ进程。
5、MAC PDU帧结构
MAC PDU包括MAC层头和净荷。示例性的,参见图2,MAC层头中可以包括V字段、SRC字段、DEST字段以及LCID字段,除此之外还可以包括一些其他的字段。
其中,V字段用于指示当前的通信类型为单播、组播还是广播。SRC字段无论何种通信类型均承载发送端的标识(例如,发送端的L2 ID)。针对DEST字段,当通信类型为广播时,DEST字段承载广播业务标识,当通信类型为组播时,DEST字段承载终端组的组标识,当通信类型为单播时,DEST字段承载接收端的标识(例如,接收端的L2 ID)。LCID字段承载MAC PDU所采用的LCH的标识。
6、包重组功能
包重组功能是指在获取到的传输资源无法一次性传输完接收到的数据包时,对该数据包重新组包以适配自身获得的传输资源的功能。
7、终端的标识
本申请实施例中,终端的标识可以为终端的L2 ID、层1(Layer-1,L1)ID、无线网络临时标识(radio network temporary identity,RNTI)(例如,小区无线网络临时标识(cell-RNTI,C-RNTI)、SL-RNTI等)、终端的MAC地址或终端的互联网协议(internet protocol,IP)地址等。
8、通信组
本申请实施例中的通信组是指由多个终端组成的集合,在该通信组内,多个终端之间可以互相通信,其中具备调度功能的终端可以称为通信组的组头(也可以称为宿主终端(Anchor-UE)),该组头可以为通信组中的部分或全部终端调度资源。
该通信组可以为单播通信组或组播通信组,单播通信组中的终端之间只能进行单播通信,组播通信组中的终端之间可以进行组播通信。
一个通信组可以是为具体的一个通信业务而建立起来的。例如,参见图3,在车辆组队业务中,行使方向一致、距离较近的车辆可以组成一个通信组,该通信组内的车辆可以 互相通信。另外,组头可以和其他部分或全部车辆之间进行一对一的数据传输。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用在多跳终端场景中,在多跳终端场景中,两个终端通过至少一个终端作为中继(该至少一个终端可以称为中继终端)转发数据包,从而提高终端之间的传输距离。这两个终端中的发送端可以称为源终端,接收端可以称为目的终端。可选的,多跳终端场景中的终端可以属于同一个通信组。
示例性的,参见图4,源终端(终端A)和目的终端(终端E)之间可以通过终端B和终端C转发数据包,也可以通过终端D转发数据包。该多跳终端场景仅仅是示例性的,多跳终端场景还有更多其他的可能性,此处不再一一列举。
在多跳终端场景中,一个终端的下一跳终端是指在该终端之后第一个接收数据包的终端。一个终端的上一跳终端是指在该终端之前最后一个接收数据包的终端。另外,在一个终端之后接收数据包的终端均可以称为该终端的后续终端。
在多跳终端场景中,为了保证数据包正确的在源终端和目的终端之间传输,需要建立新的通信机制,这些机制包括:路由信息的获取机制,AS连接和LCH建立机制,HARQ反馈机制,资源分配机制,路由机制,以及目的终端对相同的数据包的处理机制,以下通过第一部分至第六部分分别进行详细阐述。
第一部分:路由信息的获取机制
在单跳终端场景(即仅有两个终端直连通信的场景)中,一个终端直接将数据包发送给另一个终端,不存在中继终端,一个终端确定接收数据包的终端即可,不需要确定数据包如何路由。而在多跳终端场景中,存在一个或多个中继终端,因此,源终端在向目的终端发送数据包之前,需要确定数据包如何路由,因此,需要获取路由信息。为此,第一部分提供了一种通信方法(也可以称为路由信息的获取方法),如图5所示,包括:
501、源终端向通信组的组头发送第一请求,第一请求用于请求源终端和目的终端之间的路由信息。相应的,通信组的组头可以从源终端接收第一请求。
示例性的,路由信息用于指示源终端和目的终端之间如何路由数据包,例如,路由信息可以指示源终端和目的终端之间的数据包所经过的终端。
可选的,第一请求中包括源终端的标识和目的终端的标识。
步骤501在具体实现时,源终端可以在需要向目的终端发送数据包时向通信组的组头发送第一请求。
502、通信组的组头根据第一请求查询路由表得到源终端和目的终端之间的路由信息。
步骤502在具体实现时,通信组的组头可以根据第一请求中的源终端的标识和目的终端的标识查询路由表从而获取源终端和目的终端之间的路由信息。
路由信息可以为路由路径的标识,该标识指示了一条由源终端、目的终端和至少一个中继终端组成的路由路径。路由信息也可以为路由路径中的中继终端的标识。其中,该路由路径用于传输源终端和目的终端之间的数据包。
示例性的,基于图4所示的多跳终端场景,一种可能的实现方式中,通信组的组头中的路由表可参见表1,该情况下,若源终端为终端A,目的终端为终端E,则通信组的组头通过查询表1得到的路由信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:1)终端D的标识;2)终端B和终端C的标识。
表1
Figure PCTCN2020116220-appb-000001
示例性的,基于图4所示的多跳终端场景,另一种可能的实现方式中,通信组的组头中的路由表可参见表2,该情况下,若源终端为终端A,目的终端为终端E,则通信组的组头通过查询表2得到的路由信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:1)路径标识1;2)路径标识2。
表2
Figure PCTCN2020116220-appb-000002
需要说明的是,在上述表1和表2中各个终端的标识是按照路由路径中的源终端到目的终端的顺序排列的,在实际实现时,也可以按照路由路径中的目的终端到源终端的顺序排列,不作限制。
503、通信组的组头向源终端发送源终端和目的终端之间的路由信息。
步骤503在具体实现时,通信组的组头可以向源终端发送到目的终端的多条路由路径(所有路由路径中的部分或全部)的标识或该多条路由路径中的中继终端的标识,后续由源终端选择一条路由路径进行数据包传输。通信组的组头也可以向源终端发送到目的终端的一条路由路径的标识或一条路由路径中的中继终端的标识,源终端直接通过该条路由路径进行数据包传输。
第一部分提供的路由信息的获取方法,可以使得源终端获取路由信息,以便确定如何向目的终端路由数据包,保证数据包正确的传输到目的终端。
在多跳路由场景中,路由信息可以添加在层1和/或层2中,例如,物理(Physical,PHY)层、MAC层、RLC层、PDCP层等,相比将路由信息添加到层3而言,终端可以更快的处理路由信息,降低数据包的传输时延。示例性的,添加路由信息的层可以称为路由层。除了添加在层1和/或层2之外,路由信息也可以配置在多跳终端中的除目的终端之外的每个终端中。
在步骤502之前,该方法还可以包括:502-A、通信组的组头生成路由表。
步骤502-A在具体实现时可以包括:
502-a1、通信组的组头接收拓扑信息,拓扑信息包括多个终端(例如,通信组中的多个终端)中的每个终端的标识和每两个终端之间的通信信息。
其中,两个终端之间的通信信息可以包括两个终端之间的SL参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、距离等信息,两个终端之间的通信信息可以是这两个终端中的一个或多个终端测量得到的。
502-a2、通信组的组头根据拓扑信息构建路由表。
需要说明的是,通信组的组头和源终端可以为同一个终端,该情况下,源终端可以直接查询路由表确定到目的终端的路由信息即可,不需要再执行步骤501和步骤502。
在本申请实施例中,生成路由表的除了可以是通信组的组头之外,还可以是通信组的组头接入的基站或RSU或其他网络设备等,生成的原理与通信组的组头是类似的,不再赘述。
第一部分所示的方法可以应用于单播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为单播业务)、组播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为组播业务)或广播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为广播业务)中。当第一部分所示的方法应用于单播场景中时,数据包的目的终端为订阅单播业务的终端。此时,源终端可以获取源终端与订阅该单播业务的终端之间的路由信息。当第一部分所示的方法应用于组播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅组播业务的终端(即终端组中的终端)。此时,源终端可以获取源终端与终端组中的每个终端之间的路由信息。当第一部分所示的方法应用于广播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅广播业务的终端。此时,源终端可以获取源终端与订阅广播业务的每个终端之间的路由信息。其中,在组播场景和广播场景下,源终端与不同的目的终端之间的用于转发数据的中继终端可以相同也可以不同,本申请不作限制。
第二部分:AS连接和LCH建立机制
在单跳终端场景中,由于数据包仅在两个终端之间传输,不存在中继终端,因此,AS连接和LCH也仅在这两个终端之间建立即可。而在多跳终端场景中,源终端和目的终端之间存在一个或多个中继终端,该情况下,如何建立AS连接和LCH目前并没有解决方案,因此,第二部分对多跳终端场景下AS连接和LCH建立机制进行阐述,从而保证多跳终端场景下终端之间的正常通信。其中,源终端和源终端的后续终端执行的动作有所不同,以下分别进行描述。
针对源终端,第二部分提供了一种通信方法(也可以称为AS连接和LCH建立方法),如图6所示,包括:
601、源终端建立与目的终端之间的AS连接和LCH,源终端和目的终端之间通过至少一个中继终端传输数据包。
步骤601在具体实现时,源终端可以在发送数据包之前(例如,在源终端开机时)建立AS连接和LCH,也可以在发送第一个数据包时建立AS连接和LCH,本申请不作限制。
示例性的,“SRC+DEST”可以代表一个AS连接。SRC是指源终端的标识,DEST是指目的终端的标识。比如,终端A通过终端B和终端C向终端E发送数据包的场景中,终端A可以建立与终端E之间的AS连接,该AS连接可以通过“终端A的标识+终端E的标识”表示。
一个AS连接可以对应多个LCH。
在步骤601之前,源终端可以判断是否维护了“SRC+DEST”的AS连接,若是,则不 建立AS连接,若否,则建立AS连接。同理,在步骤601之前,源终端可以判断“SRC+DEST”的AS连接下LCH的标识是否存在,若是,则不建立LCH,若否,则建立LCH。
602、源终端在AS连接和LCH上发送数据包。
步骤602在具体实现时,源终端可以在AS连接和LCH上向下一跳终端发送数据包。
步骤602在具体实现时,源终端的上层协议层(例如,APP层或V2X层)可以以包粒度携带QoS信息(例如,PPPP,近距通信数据包可靠性(ProSe per packet reliability,PPPR),PC5接口服务质量标识(PC5 QoS identifier,PQI),5G服务质量标识(5G QoS indicator,5QI),PC5接口服务质量流标识(PC5 QoS flow indication,PFI)等)给源终端的AS层,源终端的AS层将不同QoS信息的数据包映射到对应的LCH上,并通过对应的LCH发送对应的QoS信息的数据包。
针对源终端的后续终端,第二部分提供了一种通信方法(也可以称为AS连接和LCH建立方法),如图7所示,包括:
701、第一终端接收数据包。
示例性的,第一终端可以为中继终端,可以为目的终端,也可以二者都不是。
702、第一终端确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端。
步骤702在具体实现时可以通过以下方式2.1或方式2.2实现。
方式2.1、数据包携带目的终端的标识,第一终端根据数据包携带的目的终端的标识确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端。
在方式2.1中,若第一终端的标识为数据包中携带的目的终端的标识时,第一终端确定自身为数据包的目的终端。若第一终端的标识不为数据包中携带的目的终端的标识时,第一终端确定自身不为数据包的目的终端。
方式2.2、数据包携带路由信息,第一终端根据数据包携带的路由信息确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端。
在方式2.2中,路由信息可以携带在数据包的MAC层头或物理(Physical,PHY)层头中,携带在这些层中的好处在于,终端可以快速的获取路由信息。路由信息为用于指示源终端和目的终端之间的一条路由路径的路径标识,路由路径中的终端的标识按照从源终端到目的终端或从目的终端到源终端的顺序依次排列。
在方式2.2中,若第一终端的标识为路径标识指示的路由路径中的中间的终端的标识时,第一终端确定自身不为数据包的目的终端。若路径标识指示的路由路径中的最后一个终端为目的终端、且第一终端的标识为路径标识指示的路由路径中的最后一个终端的标识时,第一终端确定自身为数据包的目的终端。若路径标识指示的路由路径中的第一个终端为目的终端、且第一终端的标识为路径标识指示的路由路径中的第一个终端的标识时,第一终端确定自身为数据包的目的终端。
在步骤702中,若第一终端确定自身为数据包的目的终端,执行步骤703。若第一终端确定自身不为数据包的目的终端,可以执行步骤704或不执行任何动作。
703、在未建立数据包的源终端和目的终端之间的AS连接和/或在未建立数据包的源终端和目的终端之间的LCH的情况下,第一终端建立与源终端之间的AS连接和/或LCH。
步骤703在具体实现时,在未建立数据包的源终端和目的终端之间的AS连接的情况下,第一终端可以建立AS连接(例如,第一终端接收到的数据包携带源终端和目的终端 的标识,但是第一终端发现不存在“SRC+DEST”的AS连接,则第一终端建立该AS连接),也可以既建立AS连接还建立LCH。在未建立数据包的源终端和目的终端之间的LCH的情况下,第一终端可以建立LCH(例如,第一终端接收到的数据包携带的LCH为LCH1,但是第一终端发现AS连接对应的LCH中不包含LCH1,则第一终端可以建立LCH1),也可以既建立LCH还建立AS连接。在未建立数据包的源终端和目的终端之间的AS连接和LCH的情况下,第一终端建立AS连接和LCH。
704、第一终端确定不建立AS连接和/或LCH。
第二部分提供的方法,解决了多跳终端场景中的AS连接和/或LCH建立的问题,从而保证多跳终端场景下的数据包的正确传输,使能多跳终端场景下的数据包转发流程。
需要说明的是,第二部分是以单播场景为例对AS连接和LCH建立机制作示例性说明,该AS连接和LCH建立机制也可以应用于组播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为组播业务)和广播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为广播业务)中。当该机制应用于组播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅组播业务的终端(即终端组中的终端),DEST可以是终端组的组标识,建立的AS连接和LCH可以为源终端和终端组中的每个终端之间的AS连接和LCH。当该机制应用于广播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅广播业务的终端,DEST可以是广播业务标识,建立的AS连接和LCH可以为源终端和订阅该广播业务的每个终端之间的AS连接和LCH。
第三部分:HARQ反馈机制
在单跳终端场景中,由于数据包仅在两个终端之间传输,不存在中继终端,因此,两个终端中的接收终端向发送终端进行HARQ反馈即可。而在多跳终端场景中,存在一个或多个中继终端,该情况下,如何进行HARQ反馈并没有解决方案,因此,第三部分对多跳终端场景下HARQ反馈机制进行阐述,从而保证多跳终端场景下终端之间的正常通信。
第三部分提供了一种通信方法(也可以称为一种HARQ反馈方法),如图8所示,包括:
801、第二终端接收数据包。
示例性的,第二终端可以为中继终端,可以为目的终端,也可以二者都不是。
802、若第二终端确定自身为数据包的目的终端或数据包的中继终端,第二终端根据数据包中携带的路由信息确定第二终端的上一跳终端,并向第二终端的上一跳终端发送HARQ反馈。
示例性的,HARQ反馈具体可以为ACK或NACK。
803、若第二终端确定自身既不是数据包的目的终端也不是数据包的中继终端,第二终端丢弃数据包。
在步骤802和步骤803之前,第二终端可以确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端或数据包的中继终端,根据确定结果执行步骤802或步骤803。其中,步骤803为可选步骤。
在确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端时,第二终端可以根据数据包携带的目的终端的标识确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端,此时可参见上述方式2.1,区别仅在于此处是第二终端确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端。第二终端也可以根据数据包携带的路由信息确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端,此时可参见上述方式2.2,区别仅在于此处是第二终端确定自身是否为数据包的目的终端。
在确定自身是否为数据包的中继终端时,第二终端可以根据数据包携带的路由信息确定自身是否为数据包的中继终端,路由信息不同时,确定方式也不同,以下通过场景3.1和场景3.2分别进行描述。
场景3.1、路由信息包括源终端和目的终端之间的每个中继终端的标识。
在场景3.1下,若路由信息中包括第一终端的标识,第一终端确定自身为数据包的中继终端。若路由信息中不包括第一终端的标识,第一终端确定自身不为数据包的中继终端。
场景3.2、路由信息为用于指示源终端和目的终端之间的一条路由路径的路径标识,路由路径中的终端的标识按照从源终端到目的终端或从目的终端到源终端的顺序依次排列。
在场景3.2下,当第一终端的标识为路径标识指示的路由路径中的中间的终端的标识时,第一终端确定自身为数据包的中继终端,否则,第一终端确定自身不为数据包的中继终端。
可选的,若第二终端确定自身为数据包的中继终端,上述方法还包括:
3-1)第二终端将数据包缓存在第二终端的中继缓存中。
3-2)第二终端根据数据包携带的路由信息确定第二终端的下一跳终端,并向第二终端的下一跳终端发送数据包。
示例性的,中继缓存可以为第二终端中的MAC层维护的发送缓存。该情况下,路由信息可以携带在MAC层,中继终端在接收到数据包后,将数据包缓存在MAC层即可,不需要往更高层(例如,RLC层、PDCP层、服务数据适配层(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层等)递交,而在MAC层或MAC实体发送即可。类似的,中继缓存也可以为第二终端中的RLC层或PHY层维护的发送缓存。此时,中继终端在接收到数据包后,将数据包缓存在相应层并发送即可。
第二终端在确定自身的上一跳终端和下一跳终端时,可以根据数据包携带的路由信息确定,路由信息不同时,确定方式也不同,以下通过场景3.3和场景3.4分别进行描述。
场景3.3、路由信息包括源终端和目的终端之间的每个中继终端的标识、且这些中继终端的标识是按照数据包传输过程中所经过的顺序依次排列的,或者,路由信息为路径标识,该路径标识指示的路由路径中的终端的标识按照从源终端到目的终端的顺序依次排列。
在场景3.3下,第二终端可以确定路由信息中的第二终端的前一个终端为第二终端的上一跳终端。可选的,若路由信息中不存在第二终端的前一个终端时,第二终端的上一跳终端即源终端。示例性的,基于上述表1所示的示例,源终端为终端A,目的终端为终端E,路由信息包括:终端B的标识-终端C的标识,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端A,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端B。示例性的,基于上述表2所示的示例,路由信息为路径标识2,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端A,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端B。
在场景3.3下,确定路由信息中的第二终端的后一个终端为第二终端的下一跳终端。可选的,若路由信息中不存在第二终端的后一个终端时,第二终端的下一跳终端即目的终端。示例性的,基于上述表1所示的示例,源终端为终端A,目的终端为终端E,路由信息包括:终端B的标识-终端C的标识,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端C,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端E。示例性的,基于上 述表2所示的示例,路由信息为路径标识2,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端C,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端E。
场景3.4、路由信息包括源终端和目的终端之间的每个中继终端的标识、且这些中继终端的标识是按照数据包传输过程中所经过的顺序的逆顺序依次排列的,或者,路由信息为路径标识,该路径标识指示的路由路径中的终端的标识按照从目的终端到源终端的顺序依次排列。
在场景3.4下,第二终端可以确定路由信息中的第二终端的后一个终端为第二终端的上一跳终端。可选的,若路由信息中不存在第二终端的后一个终端时,第二终端的上一跳终端即源终端。示例性的,数据包传输所经过的终端依次为:终端A-终端B-终端C-终端E,则路由信息包括:终端C的标识-终端B的标识,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端A,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端B。示例性的,路由信息为路径标识,路径标识指示的路径为:终端E-终端C-终端B-终端A,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端A,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的上一跳终端为终端B。
在场景3.4下,确定路由信息中的第二终端的前一个终端为第二终端的下一跳终端。可选的,若路由信息中不存在第二终端的前一个终端时,第二终端的下一跳终端即目的终端。示例性的,数据包传输所经过的终端依次为:终端A-终端B-终端C-终端E,则路由信息包括:终端C的标识-终端B的标识,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端C,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端E。示例性的,路由信息为路径标识,路径标识指示的路径为:终端E-终端C-终端B-终端A,若第二终端为终端B,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端C,若第二终端为终端C,则第二终端的下一跳终端为终端E。
第三部分提供的方法,对多跳终端场景下HARQ反馈机制进行阐述,多跳终端场景下终端之间可以采用逐跳(hop-by-hop,HBH)HARQ反馈,从而保证每一跳传输的数据包是正确的,避免在后续终端中传输错误的数据包而造成不必要的资源消耗。
在多跳终端场景中,源终端和中继终端可以维护与下一跳终端之间的HARQ进程,维护的信息具体可以为:源终端或中继终端的标识+下一跳终端标识+HARQ进程ID。其中,HARQ进程可以有一个或多个,因此,HARQ进程ID也可以有一个或多个。源终端或中继终端可以选择一个HARQ进程向下一跳终端发送数据包。
在多跳终端场景中,中继终端和目的终端在接收到数据包后,首先用一个可用的HARQ进程ID对应的HARQ进程(记为第一HARQ进程)进行处理。在进行处理之后,若判断自身为中继终端或目的终端,则判断数据包是否接收成功并根据判断结果确定是否执行后续的重传操作。若判断自身不是中继终端也不是目的终端,则立即丢弃数据包、清空第一HARQ进程对应的HARQ缓存并释放第一HARQ进程ID,使得第一HARQ进程ID恢复可用。
为了使得数据包的接收端对初传数据包和重传数据包进行合并,数据包的发送端需要采用相同的HARQ进程发送初传数据包和重传数据包,即初传数据包和重传数据包中携带相同的HARQ进程ID。接收端在接收到初传数据包和重传数据包后,也采用同一个HARQ进程进行处理。因此,若将上一跳终端发送数据包时所使用的HARQ进程记为第二HARQ 进程,则中继终端和目的终端可以维护第一HARQ进程和第二HARQ进程之间的对应关系,以便中继终端和目的终端在接收到重传数据包之后确定采用哪个HARQ进程进行处理,维护的信息具体可以为:通信类型(例如,组播,广播,单播)+中继终端或目的终端的标识+上一跳终端标识+第一HARQ进程ID+第二HARQ进程ID。
需要说明的是,若中继终端或目的终端同时收到多个上一跳终端发送的数据包时,针对不同的上一跳终端发送的数据包,中继终端或目的终端可以采用不同的HARQ进程进行处理,针对每个上一跳终端发送的数据包判断是否接收成功以及进行后续的合并处理(例如,合并解码)。
另外,源终端和中继终端可以针对每个载频维护一个HARQ实体(HARQ entity)、该HARQ实体可以维护多个并行的HARQ进程。源终端和中继终端每次选择一个空的HARQ进程新传数据包、并启动第一定时器(示例性的,第一定时器可以称为Tx_FlushTimer)后,该HARQ进程直到满足如下任意一个或多个条件时才清空(或者说释放):1)收到下一跳终端反馈的针对该新传数据包或该新传数据包对应的重传数据包的ACK;2)第一定时器超时。
中继终端或目的终端在接收首个新传的数据包时,采用一个空闲的HARQ进程来处理本次接收,并启动第二定时器(示例性的,第二定时器可以称为Rx_FlushTimer),该HARQ进程直到满足如下任意一个或多个条件时才清空(或者说释放):1)中继终端或目的终端认为接收并解码(或合并解码)成功;2)第二定时器超时。
第三部分所示的方法可以应用于单播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为单播业务)、组播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为组播业务)或广播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为广播业务)中。当第三部分所示的方法应用于单播场景中时,数据包的目的终端为订阅单播业务的终端。当第三部分所示的方法应用于组播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅组播业务的终端(即终端组中的终端)。当第三部分所示的方法应用于广播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅广播业务的终端。
第四部分:资源分配机制
一方面,在多跳终端场景中,当多跳终端在MAC层进行路由,即路由层为MAC层时,由于MAC层没有包重组功能,因此,每个中继终端在收到一定大小的数据包后,若获取到的传输资源无法一次性传输完该数据包,中继终端无法重新组包而适配自身获得的传输资源。因此,在进行资源分配时对每个中继终端分配的传输资源有一定的限制,即需要每个中继终端对应的传输资源大于等于传输接收到的数据包所需的传输资源,该限制可以称为中继终端的调度约束。
另一方面,在多跳终端场景中,如果每个中继终端在接收到数据包后,都向自己接入的网络设备申请传输资源传输该数据包(NR mode1模式)或自行通过感应(sensing)竞争获得传输该数据包的传输资源(NR mode2模式),都会导致时延过长。示例性的,基于图4所示的示例,参见图9,若终端A通过终端D向终端E发送数据包,那么按照NR mode1模式中的资源分配方式,终端A向自己接入的基站A请求资源,基站A向终端A分配资源1,终端A采用资源1向终端D发送数据包。类似的,终端D向自己接入的基站D请求资源,基站D向 终端D分配资源2,终端D采用资源2向终端E发送数据包。该方法中,每个终端获取传输资源的流程比较繁琐,时延较大。
为了解决中继终端的调度约束问题并降低获取传输资源的时延,第四部分提供了一种通信方法(也可以称为资源分配方法),如图10所示,包括:
1001、调度节点获取路由路径(记为第一路由路径),第一路由路径用于传输源终端和目的终端之间的数据包,第一路由路径中包括源终端、目的终端和至少一个中继终端。
可选的,调度节点为源终端接入的网络设备或通信组的组头或通信组的组头接入的网络设备。
可选的,步骤1001在具体实现时,包括:调度节点接收第一信息,并根据第一信息确定第一路由路径。
其中,第一信息可以有以下3种情况,以下对这3种情况下,调度节点确定第一路由路径的方法做示例性说明。
情况1、第一信息包括第一路由路径中的每个终端的标识。
在情况1下,调度节点可以直接根据第一信息确定第一路由路径。
情况2、第一信息为第一路由路径的标识。
在情况2下,调度节点可以将第一路由路径的标识对应的路由路径确定为第一路由路径。
情况3、第一信息为源终端的标识和目的终端的标识。
在情况3下,调度节点可根据源终端的标识和目的终端的标识确定一条路由路径作为第一路由路径。例如,当调度节点为通信组的组头时,通信组的组头可以根据第一部分中构建的路由表、源终端的标识和目的终端的标识确定一条路由路径作为第一路由路径。
当调度节点为源终端接入的网络设备时,源终端可以获取第一信息,并向调度节点发送第一信息。当调度节点为通信组的组头时,源终端或源终端的下一跳终端可以获取第一信息,并向调度节点发送第一信息。当调度节点为通信组的组头接入的网络设备时,通信组的组头可以获取第一信息,并向调度节点发送第一信息。
1002、调度节点为第一路由路径中的至少一个终端分配对应的传输资源。
需要说明的是,步骤1002在具体实现时,调度节点可以为第一路由路径中的至少一个终端分配一份对应的传输资源,也可以分配多份对应的传输资源,分配原理是相同的,因此,下文中以分配一份对应的传输资源为例进行说明。
其中,至少一个终端可以为第一路由路径中的部分或全部终端。示例性的,至少一个终端可以为第一路由路径中的除目的终端之外的全部终端。至少一个终端也可以为第一路由路径中的除源终端和目的终端之外的全部终端(即全部的中继终端)。
可选的,该方法还包括:调度节点接收第二信息,第二信息为业务模式(traffic model)参数或BSR或调度请求(scheduling request,SR)或随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)。该情况下,步骤1002在具体实现时可以包括:调度节点根据第二信息为上述至少一个终端分配对应的传输资源。
示例性的,第二信息可以指示源终端的待发送数据的数据量。调度节点为上述至少一个终端分配的传输资源能够发送的数据量可以大于等于源终端的待发送数据的数据量,从而满足中继终端的调度约束。当然,调度节点为上述至少一个终端分配的传输资源能够发 送的数据量也可以小于源终端的待发送数据的数据量,该情况下,调度节点可以通过为上述至少一个终端多次分配传输资源,从而满足中继终端的调度约束。
当第二信息为业务模式参数时,该参数中可以包括源终端的待发送数据的数据量信息。可选的,业务模式参数还可以包括以下一项或多项:业务周期(Traffic periodicity)(例如,10ms),数据包产生时刻与网络设备系统帧号(system frame number,SFN)的时间偏差(timing offset),数据包的QoS信息(例如,PQI、PPPP、PPPR等),上行LCH标识(LCH ID for UL),数据包大小(msg size),目标地址(DEST),源地址(SRC),通信类型(cast-type),频点信息(carrier or carrier list)。示例性的,目标地址在LTE的V2X中对应一个广播业务标识,在NR的V2X中针对广播、组播和单播分别对应广播业务标识、终端组的组标识和终端的标识。业务模式参数中包括的这些信息可以辅助调度节点进行资源分配。
当第二信息为BSR时,BSR中可以包括源终端的待发送数据的数据量信息。
当第二信息为SR时,若只有一个SR,则该SR中可以携带源终端的待发送数据的数据量信息。若有多个不同的SR,不同的SR可以对应不同的缓存大小(buffer size),调度节点可以根据接收到的SR对应的缓存大小确定源终端的待发送数据的数据量信息。
当第二信息为RACH时,若只有一个RACH,则该RACH中可以携带源终端的待发送数据的数据量信息。若有多个不同的RACH,不同的RACH可以对应不同的缓存大小,调度节点可以根据接收到的RACH对应的缓存大小确定源终端的待发送数据的数据量信息。
上述至少一个终端对应的传输资源可以为单次传输资源,也可以为周期性传输资源。例如,当第二信息为业务模式参数时,由于业务模式为周期性业务,因此,上述至少一个终端对应的传输资源可以为周期性传输资源,即针对该业务模式,上述至少一个终端在一段时间内(例如,该业务模式的业务周期内)均采用该传输资源传输该业务模式的数据包。当然,该情况下上述至少一个终端对应的传输资源也可以为单次传输资源,不作限制。
当调度节点为源终端接入的网络设备时,源终端可以获取第二信息,并向调度节点发送第二信息。当调度节点为通信组的组头时,源终端或源终端的下一跳终端可以获取第二信息,并向调度节点发送第二信息。当调度节点为通信组的组头接入的网络设备时,通信组的组头可以获取第二信息,并向调度节点发送第二信息。
可选的,在步骤1002之后,调度节点可以将分配的传输资源发送给上述至少一个终端,具体可以通过以下方式4.1至方式4.4中的任意一种方式实现。
方式4.1、调度节点向上述至少一个终端指示对应的传输资源。
在方式4.1中,调度节点可以为通信组的组头,若通信组的组头可以与上述至少一个终端中的每个终端通信,则通信组的组头可以向上述至少一个终端中的每个终端发送用于指示对应的传输资源的资源指示信息。若通信组的组头可以与上述至少一个终端中的部分终端通信,则通信组的组头可以向上述至少一个终端中的可通信终端发送用于指示对应的传输资源的资源指示信息,并通过这些可通信终端向上述至少一个终端中的其他终端发送用于指示对应的传输资源的资源指示信息。
示例性的,基于图4所示的示例,参见图11,若终端A通过终端D向终端E发送数据包,调度节点为通信组的组头,则终端A向通信组的组头发送第二信息,通信组的组头根据第二信息为终端A和终端D分别分配并发送资源1和资源2,终端A采用资源1向终 端D发送数据包,终端D采用资源2向终端E发送数据包,这种集中分配资源的方式,可以降低终端获取传输资源的时延。
方式4.2、调度节点通过源终端向至少一个终端发送用于指示对应的传输资源的资源指示信息。
在方式4.2中,调度节点可以为源终端接入的网络设备。
方式4.2在具体实现时可以包括以下步骤4-1)。
4-1)调度节点向源终端发送第一资源指示信息,相应的,源终端从调度节点接收第一资源指示信息。示例性的,第一资源指示信息用于指示上述至少一个终端对应的传输资源。
示例性的,假设上述至少一个终端为第一路由路径中的除目的终端之外的终端,基于图4所示的示例,假设第一路由路径为:终端A-终端B-终端C-终端E。则第一资源指示信息可以指示终端A、终端B和终端C对应的传输资源。
示例性的,第一资源指示信息可以通过RRC信令、MAC信令和下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)中的一个或多个指示。
可选的,在步骤4-1)之后,该方法还包括以下步骤4-2)。
4-2)源终端向第一路由路径中的源终端的下一跳终端发送第二资源指示信息,第二资源指示信息用于指示上述至少一个终端中的除源终端之外的终端(或者说上述至少一个终端中的源终端后续的中继终端)对应的传输资源。
示例性的,假设上述至少一个终端为第一路由路径中的除目的终端之外的终端,基于图4所示的示例,假设第一路由路径为:终端A-终端B-终端C-终端E,则终端A可以向终端B发送第二资源指示信息,第二资源指示信息可以指示终端B和终端C对应的传输资源。
可选的,第二资源指示信息通过调度数据包的侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI)、MAC信令和RRC信令中的一个或多个指示。
基于步骤4-1)和步骤4-2)所示的方法,针对第一路由路径中的中继终端(记为第三终端)所执行的动作可以包括以下步骤4-3)和步骤4-4)。
4-3)第三终端从第一路由路径中的上一跳终端接收第三资源指示信息,第三资源指示信息用于指示第一路由路径中的第三终端以及后续一个或多个中继终端(具体可以为上述至少一个终端中的第三终端以及后续一个或多个中继终端)对应的传输资源。
可以理解的是,若第三终端为源终端的下一跳终端,则第三资源指示信息与第二资源指示信息为同一个资源指示信息。
示例性的,假设上述至少一个终端为第一路由路径中的除目的终端之外的终端,基于图4所示的示例,假设第一路由路径为:终端A-终端B-终端C-终端E,若第三终端为终端B,则终端B可以从终端A接收第三资源指示信息(此时第三资源指示信息与第二资源指示信息为同一个资源指示信息)。若第三终端为终端C,则终端C从终端B接收第三资源指示信息,第三资源指示信息可以指示终端C对应的传输资源。
4-4)第三终端向第三终端的下一跳终端发送第四资源指示信息,第四资源指示信息用于指示第一路由路径中的第三终端后续一个或多个中继终端(具体可以为上述至少一个终端中的第三终端后续一个或多个中继终端)对应的传输资源。
示例性的,假设上述至少一个终端为第一路由路径中的除目的终端之外的终端,基于 图4所示的示例,假设第一路由路径为:终端A-终端B-终端C-终端E,若第三终端为终端B,则终端B可以向终端C发送第四资源指示信息,第四资源指示信息可以指示终端C对应的传输资源。
可选的,第四资源指示信息通过调度数据包的SCI和MAC信令中的一个或多个指示。
可选的,第三终端执行的动作还包括:第三终端根据第三资源指示信息确定第三终端对应的传输资源,并采用第三终端对应的传输资源向下一跳终端发送数据包。
方式4.2中,示例性的,基于图4所示的示例,参见图12,若终端A通过终端D向终端E发送数据包,终端A可以向调度节点发送第二信息,调度节点根据第二信息向终端A发送为终端A和终端D分别分配的资源1和资源2,终端A采用资源1向终端D发送数据包,并将资源2指示给终端D,终端D采用资源2向终端E发送数据包,这种集中分配资源的方式,可以降低终端获取传输资源的时延。
方式4.3、调度节点通过源终端的下一跳终端向上述至少一个终端发送用于指示对应的传输资源的资源指示信息。
在方式4.3中,调度节点可以为通信组的组头。方式4.3与方式4.2的区别仅在于:方式4.3中,调度节点可以直接将第二资源指示信息发送给源终端的下一跳终端,相应的,源终端的下一跳终端从调度节点接收第二资源指示信息,后续过程可参见上述关于第三终端的描述,此处不再赘述。
方式4.4、调度节点通过通信组的组头向上述至少一个终端发送用于指示对应的传输资源的资源指示信息。
在方式4.4中,调度节点向通信组的组头发送第一资源指示信息,通信组的组头所执行的动作与上述方式4.1中执行的动作类似,不再赘述。
上述方式4.1至方式4.4中,由于上述至少一个终端可以是第一路由路径中的部分终端,因此,当一个终端接收到未指示该终端的传输资源、但指示了其他终端的传输资源的资源指示信息时,可以向其他终端转发该资源指示信息。
在上述实施例中,可选的,上述至少一个终端对应的传输资源与源终端、目的终端以及用于指示第一路由路径的信息(例如,第一路由路径的路由信息)中的一个或多个对应。
示例性的,若上述至少一个终端对应的传输资源与源终端、目的终端以及第一路由路径的路由信息对应,当中继终端接收到数据包时,中继终端可以根据“源终端的标识+目的终端的标识+第一路由路径的路由信息”对数据包进行过滤,中继终端采用该传输资源仅传输携带“源终端的标识+目的终端的标识+第一路由路径的路由信息”的数据包。
第四部分提供的方法,调度节点可以集中的为第一路由路径中的一个或多个终端分配传输资源,相比每个终端自己请求传输资源或自行通过感应竞争获取传输资源而言,能够降低终端获取传输资源的时延。
第四部分所示的方法可以应用于单播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为单播业务)、组播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为组播业务)或广播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为广播业务)中。当第四部分所示的方法应用于单播场景中时,数据包的目的终端为订阅单播业务的终端。此时,调度节点可以为源节点到订阅单播业务的终端之间的路由路径中的一个或多个终端分配传输资源。当第四部分所示的方法应用于组播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括 订阅组播业务的终端(即终端组中的终端)。此时,调度节点可以为源节点到终端组中的至少一个终端中的每个终端之间的路由路径中的至少一个终端分配传输资源。当第四部分所示的方法应用于广播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅广播业务的终端。此时,调度节点可以为源节点到订阅广播业务的终端中的至少一个终端中的每个终端之间的路由路径中的至少一个终端分配传输资源。
第五部分:路由机制
多跳终端场景中,当路由层为MAC层时,中继终端与上一跳终端和下一跳终端通信的协议层中均可以仅包含PHY层和MAC层。示例性的,各个终端所包含的协议层可参见图13,图13仅为示例,各个终端所包含的协议层也可以更多或更少,本申请不作限制。为了使得数据包能够从源终端顺利到达目的终端,需要在多跳终端场景中建立路由机制,以下以路由层为MAC层(此时,数据包为MAC PDU)为例进行描述,但是所描述的方法同样适用于路由层为PHY层、RLC层或PDCP层的情况。
针对路由路径中的不同类型的终端,其处理过程有所区别,以下分别进行描述。
针对源终端:
参见图14,源终端执行的动作包括:
1401、源终端生成MAC PDU,MAC PDU中包括路由信息。
示例性的,源终端可以采用第一部分所述的方法获取路由信息。关于路由信息的描述可参见第一部分,此处不再赘述。
示例性的,路由信息可以携带在MAC PDU的MAC层头中。MAC PDU的MAC层头中还可以包括源终端的标识和目的终端的标识。路由信息可以承载在MAC层头中的路由(Rout)字段,源终端的标识可以承载在MAC层头中的SRC字段,目的终端的标识可以承载在MAC层头中的DEST字段中。参见图15,路由字段可以为在MAC层头中新增的字段。
1402、源终端向下一跳终端发送MAC PDU。
针对中继终端和目的终端:
参见图16,中继终端和目的终端(记为第四终端)执行的动作包括:
1601、第四终端接收MAC PDU。
1602、第四终端判断自身是否为MAC PDU的目的终端。
步骤1602的具体实现可参见上文,不再赘述。
若是,执行步骤1603。若否,执行步骤1604。
1603、第四终端接收并处理MAC PDU。
步骤1603中的具体的处理方法为本领域技术人员所公知的,不再赘述。
步骤1603中,第四终端接收到MAC PDU之后可以采用第三部分所述的方法进行HARQ反馈。
1604、第四终端判断自身是否为MAC PDU的中继终端。
步骤1604的具体实现可参见上文,不再赘述。
若是,执行步骤1605。若否,执行步骤1606。
1605、第四终端接收MAC PDU并向下一跳终端发送MAC PDU。
步骤1605在具体实现时,第四终端向下一跳终端发送MAC PDU的传输资源可以为采用第四部分所述的方法获取到的。
1606、第四终端丢弃MAC PDU。
上述方法中是以路由信息携带在MAC PDU中为例的,在实际实现时,路由信息也可以是配置在每个终端中的。
在图16所示的过程中,步骤1605在具体实现时,第四终端在发送MAC PDU之前,还可以执行以下动作中的任意一个或多个:
1)在MAC PDU的MAC层头中添加第四终端的标识,以便后续终端确定接收到的MAC PDU是由谁发送的。具体的,参见图15,可以在MAC层头增加一个中继字段,用于中继终端填充自己的标识。需要说明的是,源终端在处理中继字段时,可以填充自己的标识,也可以置空。若第四终端接收到的MAC PDU的MAC层头中的中继字段本身填充有信息,那么第四终端在发送该MAC PDU之前需要将中继字段中填充的信息删除,重新填充自己的标识。
2)当路由信息携带在MAC PDU中时,第四终端在发送该MAC PDU之前需要将MAC PDU中的路由信息中的第四终端的标识删除,从而防止乒乓效应(即防止MAC PDU在第四终端和第四终端的下一跳终端之间反复传输)。当路由信息配置在每个终端中时,每个终端可以根据路由信息构建到下一跳的路由,例如,第四终端在发送MAC PDU之前将接收到的MAC PDU中的路由字段中的信息删除,填充第四终端的下一跳终端的标识。
3)第四终端在发送MAC PDU之前,更新MAC PDU中的HARQ进程ID为第四终端与下一跳终端之间的HARQ进程ID。
以下以路由路径为“终端A(源终端)-终端B-终端C-终端E(目的终端)”为例对各个终端发送的MAC PDU的MAC层头中携带的信息作示例性说明,具体可以有以下4种。
第一种:每个终端填充的路由信息均为路由路径中的中继终端的标识,此时,每个终端发送的MAC PDU的MAC层头中携带的信息可参见表3。
表3
终端 SRC DEST 中继字段 路由字段
终端A 终端A 终端E 终端A或不填 终端B-终端C
终端B 终端A 终端E 终端B 终端B-终端C
终端C 终端A 终端E 终端C 终端B-终端C
终端E - - - -
第二种:每个终端填充的路由信息均为路由路径的路径标识。
基于表2所示的示例,路由字段中可以填充路径标识2,此时,每个终端发送的MAC PDU的MAC层头中携带的信息可参见表4。
表4
终端 SRC DEST 中继字段 路由字段
终端A 终端A 终端E 终端A或不填 路径标识2
终端B 终端A 终端E 终端B 路径标识2
终端C 终端A 终端E 终端C 路径标识2
终端E - - - -
在第一种和第二种中,MAC层头中也可以不设置中继字段,每个中继终端可以根据MAC PDU携带的路由信息判断自己的上一跳终端,从而确定是由谁发送的MAC PDU。
第三种:每个终端可以删除接收到的MAC PDU的MAC层头中的路由信息中的自身的标识,此时,每个终端发送的MAC PDU的MAC层头中携带的信息可参见表5。
表5
终端 SRC DEST 中继字段 路由字段
终端A 终端A 终端E 终端A或不填 终端B-终端C
终端B 终端A 终端E 终端B 终端C
终端C 终端A 终端E 终端C -
终端E - - - -
第四种:路由信息可以配置在每个终端中,每个终端接收到MAC PDU之后可以通过查询路由信息在路由字段填充下一跳终端的标识,以便下一跳终端确定是否为自己的MAC PDU,此时,每个终端发送的MAC PDU的MAC层头中携带的信息可参见表6。
表6
终端 SRC DEST 中继字段 路由字段
终端A 终端A 终端E 终端A或不填 终端B
终端B 终端A 终端E 终端B 终端C
终端C 终端A 终端E 终端C 终端E
终端E - - - -
第五部分提供的方法,提供了路由路径中的各个终端进行路由的方法,从而保证多跳终端场景中的MAC PDU的正确传输。
第五部分所示的方法可以应用于单播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为单播业务)、组播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为组播业务)或广播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为广播业务)中。当第五部分所示的方法应用于单播场景中时,数据包的目的终端为订阅单播业务的终端。此时,源节点到订阅单播业务的终端之间的路由路径中的各个终端可以采用第五部分提供的方法进行路由。当第五部分所示的方法应用于组播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅组播业务的终端(即终端组中的终端)。此时,源节点到终端组中的每个终端之间的路由路径中的各个终端可以采用第五部分提供的方法进行路由。当第五部分所示的方法应用于广播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅广播业务的终端。此时,源节点到订阅广播业务的每个终端之间的路由路径中的各个终端可以采用第五部分提供的方法进行路由。
第六部分:目的终端对相同的数据包的处理机制
本申请上述各个部分提供的方法,以源终端和目的终端(此处的目的终端可以是单播场景下的目的终端、组播场景下的某个目的终端或广播场景下的某个目的终端)之间通过一条路由路径传输数据包为例进行描述,在实际实现时,为了提高数据包传输的可靠性,源终端和目的终端之间可以通过多条路由路径传输数据包。此时,在第一部分中,源终端可以获取多个路由信息,一个路由信息对应一条路由路径。在第三部分中,HARQ反馈是针对每条路由路径单独执行的。在第四部分中,资源分配也是针对每条路由路径单独执行的。在第五部分中,源终端可以在每条路由路径上均向目的终端发送数据包。那么此时,目的终端如何处理不同的路由路径上接收到的数据包,目前并没有解决方案,为了解决该 问题,第六部分提供了一种通信方法,参见图17,该方法包括:
1701、目的终端的MAC层通过不同的路由路径接收第一数据包和第二数据包。
其中,第一数据包和第二数据包对应相同信息比特,该信息比特可以为一个传输块(transport block,TB)中的信息比特,该情况下,第一数据包和第二数据包对应相同信息比特也可以描述为:第一数据包和第二数据包对应同一个TB。示例性的,第一数据包和第二数据包可以为同一个TB的相同的冗余版本或不同的冗余版本。
可选的,第一数据包和第二数据包均携带上一跳终端的标识,该方法还包括:目的终端的MAC层根据第一数据包和第二数据包携带的上一跳终端的标识确定第一数据包和第二数据包是否为通过不同的路由路径接收到的数据包。具体的,若数据包中携带的源终端的标识和目的终端的标识均相同,但是携带的上一跳终端的标识不同,则认为这两个数据包为通过不同的路由路径接收到的数据包。
可选的,目的终端的MAC层接收第一数据包和第二数据包时所采用的HARQ进程不同。目的终端可以分别判断不同的HARQ进程接收到的初传数据包、重传数据包或者合并后的数据包是否接收成功,将接收成功的数据包递交给MAC层中的上层(如反组装和解复用实体(disassembly and demultiplexing entity)),进而递交给对应的LCH。
1702、目的终端的MAC层通过同一个LCH将第一数据包和第二数据包递交至目的终端的RLC层。
可选的,步骤1702在具体实现时包括:若目的终端确定第一数据包和第二数据包携带了相同的第三信息,目的终端的MAC层通过同一个LCH将第一数据包和第二数据包递交至目的终端的RLC层,第三信息包括源终端的标识、目的终端的标识以及对应源终端和目的终端的LCH的标识。
示例性的,参见图18,终端A可以向终端E发送数据包,其中,第一数据包为终端A通过终端D向终端E发送的数据包,第二数据包为终端A直接向终端E发送的数据包,第一数据包和第二数据包对应相同信息比特。若第一数据包和第二数据包均携带终端A的标识+终端E的标识+LCH1的标识,则终端E的MAC层(具体为MAC实体)通过LCH1将第一数据包和第二数据包递交给RLC层(具体为某个RLC实体)。
在第六部分中,路由信息可以携带在MAC层中。
其中,数据包可以为MAC PDU,一个MAC PDU中可以包含对应不同LCH标识的多个数据包,即不同LCH标识的多个数据包复用在一起进行传输。此时,不同LCH标识的数据包需要映射到不同的LCH上。
图17所示的方法中,以路由层为MAC层为例进行描述,在实际实现时,路由层也可以为PHY层,此时,步骤1701在具体实现时,目的终端的PHY层通过不同的路由路径接收第一数据包和第二数据包。进一步的,目的终端的PHY层根据第一数据包和第二数据包携带的上一跳终端的标识确定第一数据包和第二数据包是否为通过不同的路由路径接收到的数据包。之后,目的终端的PHY层将第一数据包和第二数据包递交个MAC层,并告知MAC层第一数据包和第二数据包为不同路径接收到的、且对应相同信息比特的数据包,MAC层通过同一个LCH将第一数据包和第二数据包递交至目的终端的RLC层。
需要说明的是,第六部分所述的方法不仅仅适用于对应相同信息比特的2个数据包,也适用于对应相同信息比特的3个及3个以上的数据包,实现过程与2个数据包类似,不 再赘述。
第六部分提供的方法,提供了一种目的终端处理不同的路由路径上接收到对应相同信息比特的数据包的方法,从而保证数据包在目的终端正确的进行处理。
第六部分所示的方法可以应用于单播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为单播业务)、组播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为组播业务)或广播场景(即源终端和目的终端之间传输的数据包所属的业务为广播业务)中。当第六部分所示的方法应用于单播场景中时,数据包的目的终端为订阅单播业务的终端。此时,订阅单播业务的终端可以采用第六部分提供的方法处理不同路径接收到的、且对应相同信息比特的数据包。当第六部分所示的方法应用于组播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅组播业务的终端(即终端组中的终端)。此时,终端组中的每个终端可以采用第六部分提供的方法处理不同路径接收到的、且对应相同信息比特的数据包。当第六部分所示的方法应用于广播场景中时,数据包的目的终端包括订阅广播业务的终端。此时,订阅广播业务的每个终端可以采用第六部分提供的方法处理不同路径接收到的、且对应相同信息比特的数据包。
