具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。示例性的,本申请实施例所涉及附图中的以虚线标识的特征或内容可理解为实施例可选的操作或者可选的结构。

本申请提供的技术方案还可以应用于未来的通信系统,如第六代移动通信系统等。本申请对此不做限定。
本申请实施例中,网络设备可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备。该设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved Node B,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(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband unit,BBU),无线保真(wireless fidelity,WiFi)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point,TRP)等,还可以为5G,如,NR,系统中的gNB,或,传输点(TRP或TP),5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)等。

图2是本申请提供的通信方法的示意性流程图。下面对图2所示的方法200中的各步骤进行说明。
S210,终端设备向网络设备上报侧链信息。相应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的侧链信息。
该侧链信息可以包括终端设备感兴趣的至少一个业务的相关信息,比如可以包括至少一个业务的目的标识(destination identifier,DST ID)和每个DST ID对应的SL频率信息。所述业务可以广播业务、单播业务或者组播业务,本申请不做限定。进一步地,所述业务可以是V2X业务。示例性的,若某一业务为广播业务,该业务对应的DST ID可以是该业务对应的默认层2(layer 2,L2)标识;若某一业务为单播业务,该业务对应的DST ID可以是单播连接的对端终端设备为该单播连接分配的L2标识;若某一业务为组播业务,该业务对应的DST ID可以是该组的L2标识。
可选地,该侧链信息还可以包括每个DST ID对应的服务质量(quality of service,QoS)信息。所述QoS信息也可以通过另外一条消息上报给网络设备,本申请不做限定。
示例性的,所述侧链信息可以是协议中的SidelinkUEInformation(侧链UE信息)消息,但本申请对此不作限定。
S220,网络设备向终端设备发送SL配置信息。
示例性的,网络设备可以根据DST ID与SL频率信息的对应关系以及DST ID对应的QoS信息,确定并为终端设备提供SL配置信息。
示例性的,SL配置信息可以通过RRC信令或者广播消息携带,本申请不作限定。
其中,SL配置信息可以包括SLRB配置信息和SL载波配置信息。
所述SLRB配置信息用于配置至少一个SLRB。比如,SLRB配置信息可以包括至少 一个SLRB的指示信息和每个SLRB对应的逻辑信道的指示信息。示例性的,SLRB的指示信息可以是SLRB ID,所述逻辑信道的指示信息可以是逻辑信道标识(logical channel identifier,LCID),但本申请对此不作限定,但需要说明的是,为便于描述,下文中均以SLRB ID指示SLRB,LCID指示逻辑信道为例进行说明。
可选地,SLRB配置信息还可以指示每个SLRB对应的DST ID,其中一个DST ID可以对应一个或多个SLRB。示例性的,网络设备通过SL配置信息所配置的SLRB中的部分或全部SLRB可以对应终端设备向网络设备上报的至少一个DST ID中的部分或全部DST ID。
示例性的,当SL配置信息通过广播消息携带时,SLRB配置信息可以仅指示至少一个SLRB和每个SLRB对应的逻辑信道。此时该方法可以不包括S210。当SL配置信息通过RRC消息携带时,SLRB配置信息还可以用于指示每个SLRB对应的DST ID。此时该方法可以包括S210。
所述SLRB配置信息还可以指示每个SLRB是否配置了重复功能。其中,配置了重复功能的SLRB可以对应多个逻辑信道,这多个逻辑信道可以传输相同的数据。未配置重复功能的SLRB仅对应一个逻辑信道。具体来讲,配置了重复功能的SLRB对应的有一个开启重复功能的分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)实体和多个无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)实体,每个RLC实体对应有一个逻辑信道,该PDCP实体可以将一个PDCP协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)复制成多份,分别传递给这多个RLC实体发送。
以配置了重复功能的其中一个SLRB为例进行说明。为便于描述,将该SLRB记作:第一SLRB。第一SLRB为该终端设备与其他终端设备之间的无线承载。如图3所示,第一SLRB可以对应两个RLC实体,其中一个RLC实体对应逻辑信道#1,另一个RLC实体对应逻辑信道#2,同一个PDCP PDU可以通过逻辑信道#1和逻辑信道#2发送。
所述SL载波配置信息用于配置n个SL载波,比如,SL载波配置信息可以包括n个频率,每个频率对应一个SL载波。其中,n≥2,且n为整数。应理解,SL载波用于SL通信。
可选地,SL载波配置信息还可以包括下述中的一项或两项:所述n个SL载波中的每个SL载波的频率信息;所述n个SL载波中每个SL载波对应的至少一个SL发送资源池的信息。
在获得SL配置信息后,终端设备可以决定配置了重复功能的SLRB所对应的部分或全部逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。同样地,为便于理解,以第一SLRB为例,结合S230进行说明。
S230,终端设备确定m个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
具体地,终端设备从所述n个SL载波中,为第一SLRB对应的m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波,1≤m≤n,且m为整数。其中,所述m个逻辑信道为第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的部分或全部逻辑信道。也就是说,在某一时刻,终端设备可以决定(即,自主确定)第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的部分或全部逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。比如,在t1时刻,终端设备可以自主确定第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,在t2时刻,终端设备可以对t1时刻所确 定的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系进行更改,比如终端设备可以仅更改第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的部分逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,也可以更改第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的全部逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
本申请中,该n个SL载波可以为网络设备为该第一SLRB配置的全部SL载波,或者网络设备只为该第一SLRB配置了n个SL载波。这样可以避免由于预先限制,例如协议或者网络设备规定该网络设备配置的SL载波中的一部分载波只可能对应该SLRB的一部分逻辑信道,另一部分载波只可能对应该SLRB的另一部分逻辑信道,导致终端设备无法在网络设备配置的SL载波范围内,为该SLRB对应的任一逻辑信道选择到合适的SL载波的问题。这样可以使得终端设备为该SLRB对应的逻辑信道选择SL载波的SL载波选择范围更大,可以使得该终端设备可以在该网络设备为该第一SLRB配置的全部SL载波中,为该SLRB对应的任一逻辑信道选择到合适的SL载波。
本申请中,第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道对应所述n个SL载波中的至少一个SL载波,并且第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的任意两个逻辑信道所对应的SL载波之间没有交集。
比如,我们可以称每个逻辑信道对应一个SL载波集合,该SL载波集合包括所述n个SL载波中的一个或多个载波,并且任意两个逻辑信道对应的两个SL载波集合没有交集。应理解,任意两个逻辑信道对应的SL载波的数量可以相同,也可以不同,本申请不作限定。
应理解S210和S220为可选步骤,即S230的执行可以不依赖于S210和S220。这里的意思是,终端设备只需要获知所述n个SL载波以及第一SLRB对应的逻辑信道(或者LCID),就可以在合适的时机执行S230,而不需要在执行S230之前都执行S210和S220步骤。
示例性的,S230可以在满足触发条件时执行。比如,该触发条件可以是网络设备激活了第一SLRB的重复功能,或者n个SL载波中测量结果最好的SL载波没有与第一SLRB中的任一逻辑信道对应,或者与第一SLRB对应的SL载波的测量结果都比那些没有与第一SLRB对应的SL载波的测量结果差。再如,所述SL配置信息可以包括第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道SL载波的初始对应关系。若终端设备认为该初始对应关系不合适,则可以执行S230。
根据本申请提供的方法,通过为SLRB配置重复功能,可以提高数据传输的可靠性。另一方面,通过由终端设备选择与逻辑信道对应的SL载波,使得逻辑信道中的数据可以通过合适的SL载波发送,从而能够进一步提高数据传输的可靠性。
可选地,该方法可以包括:
S240,终端设备向网络设备发送第一信息,第一信息用于指示所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
终端设备通过向网络设备上报自己所确定的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,有利于网络设备根据逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系进行后续资源分配。举例来说,网络设备在获知终端设备确定逻辑信道与SL载波对应关系后,进一步会收到终端设备请求资源调度的缓存状态报告(buffer status report,BSR),根据BSR中携带的逻辑信道组与逻辑信道的对应关系,依据逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,能够确定终端设备请求的是哪些SL 载波上的SL资源,进而为终端设备调度相应SL载波上的SL资源。
可选地,第一信息可以通过RRC消息携带,但本申请对此不作限定。
下面对S230的可能的实现方式进行说明。
方式一
终端设备可以从所述n个SL载波对应的资源池中有可用SL资源的资源池所对应的SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波。
具体来讲,终端设备可以通过监听(sensing),确定与该n个SL载波分别对应的资源池中哪些资源池中有可用SL资源,然后终端设备再从有可用SL资源的资源池所对应的SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波。
举例来说,假设m=2,m个逻辑信道为逻辑信道#1和逻辑信道#2;n=3,n个SL载波与资源池的对应关系为SL载波#1对应资源池#1,SL载波#2对应资源池#2,SL载波#3对应资源池#3。若终端设备通过监听,确定有可用SL资源的资源池为资源池#1和资源池#2,则终端设备可以从SL载波#1和SL载波#2中,分别为逻辑信道#1和逻辑信道#2选择对应的SL载波。比如,终端设备可以选择SL载波#1与逻辑信道#1对应,SL载波#2与逻辑信道#2对应。
方式二
终端设备确定所述n个SL载波对应的测量结果中测量结果最好的w个SL载波,然后从所述w个SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择至少一个SL载波,所述至少一个SL载波为所述逻辑信道所对应的部分或全部SL载波。其中,所述测量结果为信道忙碌比率CBR或信道质量指示CQI,m≤w≤n,且w为整数。
举例来说,该终端设备可以通过对该n个SL载波进行测量,确定每个SL载波的测量结果。或者,可以由第一SLRB的对端终端设备对该n个SL载波进行测量,并将每个SL载波的测量结果上报给该终端设备。然后,终端设备可以对得到的n个测量结果进行排序,选择出测量结果最好的w个测量结果。应理解,所述w个测量结果比剩余的n-w个测量结果好。比如,若测量结果为CQI,终端设备可以按照CQI由大至小的顺序,对得到的n个CQI进行排序,确定出排序靠前的w个CQI。又如,若测量结果为CBR,终端设备可以按照CBR由小至大的顺序,对得到的n个CBR进行排序,确定出排序靠前的w个CBR。w(即w的取值)可以由网络设备配置或者终端设备自己设定。接着,终端设备可以从该w个测量结果对应的w个SL载波中,为每个逻辑信道选择至少一个SL载波,作为该逻辑信道对应的部分或全部SL载波。即,每个逻辑信道对应的SL载波可以仅包括该w个SL载波中的至少一个载波,或者,每个逻辑信道对应的SL载波不仅可以包括该w个SL载波中的至少一个载波,还包括所述n个SL载波中除该w个SL载波以外的其他SL载波。
可选地,在测量结果由所述对端终端上报的情况下,对端终端也可以直接上报测量结果最好的w个测量结果以及对应的SL载波。
方式三
终端设备确定所述n个SL载波对应的测量结果中测量结果大于或等于第一预设门限的SL载波。若大于或等于第一预设门限的SL载波的数量大于或等于m,则从大于或等于第一预设门限的SL载波中,或从大于或等于第一预设门限的SL载波中对应的测量结 果最好的w个SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波。若大于或等于第一预设门限的SL载波的数量小于m,则终端设备将从所述n个SL载波对应的测量结果中测量结果最好的w个SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波。也就是说,若大于或等于第一预设门限的SL载波的数量小于m,则采用方式二确定逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。其中,所述测量结果信道质量指示CQI。第一预设门限和w可以由网络设备配置或者该终端设备自己设定,m≤w≤n,且w为整数。
比如,该终端设备可以通过对该n个SL载波进行测量,确定每个SL载波的测量结果。或者,可以由第一SLRB的对端终端设备对该n个SL载波进行测量,并将每个SL载波的测量结果上报给该终端设备。然后,终端设备确定得到的n个测量结果中大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果。若大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果的数量大于或等于m,则终端设备从大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果所对应的SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波,或者,终端设备从大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果中测量结果最好的w个测量结果对应的SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波。若大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果的数量小于m,则采用方式二为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波。
可选地,在测量结果由所述对端终端上报的情况下,若大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果的数量大于或等于m,对端终端也可以直接上报大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果以及对应的SL载波,或者上报大于或等于第一预设门限的测量结果中测量结果最好的w个测量结果以及对应的SL载波。
方式四
终端设备确定所述n个SL载波对应的测量结果中测量结果小于或等于第二预设门限的SL载波,然后从小于或等于第二预设门限的SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择至少一个SL载波,所述至少一个SL载波为所述逻辑信道所对应的部分或全部SL载波。若小于或等于第二预设门限的SL载波的数量小于m,则终端设备将从所述n个SL载波对应的测量结果中测量结果最好的w个SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波。也就是说,若小于或等于第一预设门限的SL载波的数量小于m,则采用方式二确定逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。其中,所述测量结果为信道忙碌比率CBR。第二预设门限和w可以由网络设备配置或者该终端设备自己设定,m≤w≤n,且w为整数。该方式与方式三类似,这里不再详述。
综上,通过上述方式一至方式四中的任一种方式或多种方式的结合,可以确定所述m个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,即确定所述m个逻辑信道中每个逻辑信道对应的SL载波。
应理解,本申请并不限定具体如何确定所述m个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,任何合理确定所述m个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系的方式,都应落入本申请的保护范围。
可选地,作为本申请一个示例,所述第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系满足下述条件中的一个或同时满足两个条件:
(1)重复的PDCP PDU被放在不同的SL载波对应的缓存中。即,重复的PDCP PDU不会放在同一个SL载波对应的缓存中。
(2)重复的PCDP PDU被封装在不同的MAC PDU中。即,重复的PCDP PDU不会封装到同一个MAC PDU中。
举例来说,第一SLRB的逻辑信道与SL载波对应关系可能会发生改变,在变化前,第一SL载波对应第一SLRB的第一逻辑信道,在变化后,第一SL载波对应第一SLRB的第二逻辑信道。为了提高数据传输的可靠性,要求重复的PDCP PDU不能通过同一个SL载波进行发送,即不能放入同一个SL载波缓存中。可以理解为,当对应关系变为第二逻辑信道对应第一SL载波时,若第二逻辑信道上的待传数据包括第一逻辑信道在第一SL载波上传输过的PDCP PDU,则该PDCP PDU不能通过第一SL载波进行发送,或者在改变对应关系时,需要确定第二逻辑信道上的待传数据不与第一逻辑信道在第一SL载波上传输过的数据重复,才能确定第二逻辑信道与第一SL载波对应。可选的,可以允许两个逻辑信道的重复PDCP PDU在一个SL载波上进行发送,但是,如果两个重复的PDCP PDU一起传输,就可能两个PDCP PDU一起发送失败,导致可靠性降低。为了避免出现这种情况,可以要求如果出现两个重复的PDCP PDU通过一个SL载波进行传输时,要保证两个重复的PDCP PDU不会放到一起传输,即不会封装在一个MAC PDU中。
可选地,作为本申请一个示例,若在执行S230之前,第一逻辑信道对应的第一SL载波对应的缓存中的数据还未发送完成,则在执行S230之后,终端设备还可以在第一SL载波上发送所述缓存中未发送完的数据。第一逻辑信道可以是第一SLRB对应的逻辑信道中的任一逻辑信道。
结合图4进行说明。如图4所示,在t1时刻,终端设备执行S230,确定逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系为:逻辑信道#n对应SL载波#1,逻辑信道#m对应SL载波#4。基于这样的对应关系,当SL载波#1上有可用资源时,终端设备可以将逻辑信道#n上的待传数据放入SL载波#1对应的缓存1中进行发送。类似地,当SL载波#4上有可用资源时,终端设备可以将逻辑信道#m上的待传数据放入SL载波#4对应的缓存4中进行发送。在t2时刻,终端设备再次执行S230,此时终端设备将逻辑信道#m对应的SL载波更改为SL载波#2。在此之前,放在SL载波#4对应的缓存4中的逻辑信道#m的数据可能还未发送完,这部分数据可以保留在缓存4中,继续在SL载波#4中发送。在t2时刻之后,逻辑信道#m的数据可以放入SL载波#2对应的缓存2,在SL载波#2上发送。
上文结合图2至图4,描述了由终端设备自主确定逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系的方案。下面结合图5至图11,对本申请提供的由网络设备确定逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系的方案,进行说明。
图5是本申请提供的另一通信方法的示意性流程图。下面对图5所示的方法300中的各步骤进行说明。
S310至S320,终端设备向网络设备上报侧链信息,网络设备向终端设备发送SL配置信息。
步骤S310至S320与S210至S220相同,具体参照上述对S210至S220所作的说明。这里需要说明的是,在方法300中,SL配置信息是在RRC连接态时发送的。
网络设备在向终端设备发送SL配置信息之后,可以向终端设备配置,配置了重复功能的SLRB所对应的部分或全部逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。同样地,为便于理解, 以第一SLRB为例,结合S330进行说明。
S330,网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息。
其中,第一信息用于指示第一DST ID,以及指示第一SLRB对应的m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,1≤m≤n,且m为整数。其中,所述m个逻辑信道为第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的部分或全部逻辑信道。也就是说,在某一时刻,网络设备可以配置第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的部分或全部逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。比如,在t1时刻,网络设备可以配置第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,在t2时刻,网络设备可以对t1时刻所配置的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系进行更改,比如网络设备可以仅更改第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的部分逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,也可以更改第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的全部逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
本申请中,第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道对应所述n个SL载波中的至少一个SL载波,并且第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的任意两个逻辑信道所对应的SL载波之间没有交集。
根据本申请提供的方法,通过为SLRB配置重复功能,可以提高数据传输的可靠性。另一方面,通过由网络设备配置逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,有利于实现逻辑信道中的数据通过合适的SL载波发送,从而有利于进一步提高数据传输的可靠性。
可选地,第一信息可以是MAC CE。通过MAC CE配置逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系,可以快速灵活调整逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
可选地,所述SL配置信息可以包括第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道SL载波的初始对应关系。即,所述SL配置信息可以包括第一SLRB对应的所有逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道SL载波的对应关系。后续,网络设备可以对该初始对应关系进行更改。
在一个示例中,网络设备可以基于所述n个SL载波的测量结果,灵活调整SL载波与逻辑信道的对应关系。也就是说,网络设备可以基于所述n个SL载波的测量结果,确定所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
例如,在一种方式中,网络设备可以首先确定所述n个SL载波对应的测量结果中测量结果最好的w个SL载波,然后从所述w个SL载波中,为所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道选择至少一个SL载波,所述至少一个SL载波为所述逻辑信道所对应的部分或全部SL载波。其中,所述测量结果为信道忙碌比率CBR或信道质量指示CQI,m≤w≤n,且w为整数。
该方式与方法200中的“方式二”类似,不同的是,方法200中测量结果不需要反馈给网络设备,而在该方式中,测量结果需要反馈给网络设备。比如,终端设备可以对SL载波进行测量,将测量结果反馈给网络设备,或者,第一SLRB的对端终端设备可以对SL载波进行测量,并将测量结果反馈给该终端设备,然后再由该终端设备反馈给网络设备。
再如,网络设备还可以参照方法200中的“方式三”和/或“方式四”,确定所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。具体内容可以参考上文描述,这里不再赘述。
下面对第一信息的可能的格式进行说明。
格式一
第一信息包括第一域、第二域和第二域对应的v个F i域。
其中,第一域包括指示第一DST ID的信息。示例性的,指示第一DST ID的信息可以是第一DST ID。或者,指示第一DST ID的信息可以是第一DST ID对应的索引。第一DST ID对应的索引可以由网络设备指示,或者,第一DST ID对应的索引与第一DST ID在DST ID列表中的位置相关。比如,若DST ID列表中的DST ID的索引从0开始,则第一DST ID对应的索引为第一DST ID在DST ID列表中的位置减1,若DST ID列表中的DST ID的索引从1开始,则第一DST ID对应的索引为第一DST ID在DST ID列表中的位置。举例来说,DST ID列表为{DST ID#1,DST ID#2,DST ID#3,……},假设第一DST ID为DST ID#2,则第一DST ID在DST ID列表中的位置为2。若DST ID列表中的DST ID的索引从1开始,即DST ID#1对应的索引为1,则第一DST ID对应的索引为2;若DST ID列表中的DST ID的索引从0开始,即DST ID#1对应的索引为0,则第一DST ID对应的索引为1。DST ID列表由终端设备和网络设备共同维护,DST ID列表可以包括当前所有DST ID。
第二域包括指示第一SLRB的信息。示例性的,指示第一SLRB的信息可以是第一SLRB ID或者第一SLRB ID对应的索引。第一SLRB ID对应的索引可以由网络设备指示,或者,第一SLRB ID对应的索引与第一SLRB ID在SLRB ID列表中的位置相关。比如,若SLRB ID列表中的SLRB ID的索引从0开始,则第一SLRB ID对应的索引为第一SLRB ID在SLRB ID列表中的位置减1,若SLRB ID列表中的SLRB ID的索引从1开始,则第一SLRB ID对应的索引为第一SLRB ID在SLRB ID列表中的位置。举例来说,SLRB ID列表为{SLRB ID#1,SLRB ID#2,SLRB ID#3,……},假设第一SLRB ID为SLRB ID#2,则第一SLRB ID在SLRB ID列表中的位置为2。若SLRB ID列表中的SLRB ID的索引从1开始,即SLRB ID#1对应的索引为1,则第一SLRB ID对应的索引为2;若SLRB ID列表中的SLRB ID的索引从0开始,即SLRB ID#1对应的索引为0,则第一SLRB ID对应的索引为1。SLRB ID列表由终端设备和网络设备共同维护,SLRB ID列表可以包括第一DST ID对应的所有SLRB ID或者包括第一DST ID对应的所有配置了重复功能的SLRB ID。
所述v个F i域中的每个F i域占用至少一个比特位,i为整数,v为终端设备最多能够支持的SL载波数量,v≥n,且v为整数。i的取值可以从0开始,也可以从1开始,或者还可以从其他任一整数开始。当i的取值从0开始时,i的取值为0至v-1,所述v个F i域为F 0域至F v-1域,F i域对应SL载波列表中的第i+1个SL载波;当i的取值从1开始时,i的取值为1至v,所述v个F i域为F 1域至F v域,F i域对应SL载波列表中的第i个SL载波。i为其他取值时,F i域与SL载波的对应关系类似。F i域指示其对应的SL载波与所述m个逻辑信道中的哪个逻辑信道对应。应理解,所述v个F i域所对应的v个SL载波包括所述n个SL载波。还应理解,若n<v,例如v=8,n=7,若i的取值从0开始,这意味着F 7域并不对应所述n个SL载波中的任一载波,即F 7域没有对应的SL载波,在此情况下,F 7域可以设置为默认值,终端设备默认会无视F 7域的取值。对于其他没有对应SL载波的F i域也进行相同的处理。
所述SL载波列表由终端设备和网络设备共同维护,其可以包括当前配置的所有SL载波,或者,可以仅包括第一DST ID对应的所有SL载波,或者,可以仅包括第一SLRB对应的所有SL载波。示例性的,所述n个SL载波可以是当前配置的所有SL载波,或者是第一DST ID对应的所有SL载波,或者可以是第一SLRB对应的所有SL载波。应理解,所述SL载波列表中的SL载波的数量可以大于或者等于n。还应理解,SL载波列表具体可以是SL载波对应的频率的列表,但本申请对此不作限定,比如,SL载波列表可以是SL载波ID或索引列表,该ID或索引可以是终端设备为SL载波分配的。
举例对F i域进行说明。假设SL载波列表为{SL载波#1,SL载波#2,SL载波#3,SL载波#4},则F 0域对应SL载波#1,F 1域对应SL载波#2,F 2域对应SL载波#3,F 3域对应SL载波#4。
结合上段举例,示例性的,若第一SLRB共对应2个逻辑信道,则每个F i域可以占用一个比特位,该比特位的取值可以是0和1,这两个取值与2个逻辑信道之间具有对应关系。比如,这2个逻辑信道中其中一个可以称为主逻辑信道,另一个可以称为辅逻辑信道,若F i域为0,则表示F i域对应的SL载波与主逻辑信道对应,若F i域为1,则表示F i域对应的SL载波与辅逻辑信道对应,或者0和1的含义也可以反过来。再如,若F i域为0,则表示该F i域对应的SL载波与ID较大的逻辑信道对应,若F i域为1,则表示该F i域对应的SL载波与ID较小的逻辑信道对应,或者0和1的含义也可以反过来。
示例性的,若第一SLRB共对应4个逻辑信道,则每个F i域可以占用2个比特位,这2个比特位的取值可以是00,01,10和11,这四个取值与4个逻辑信道之间具有对应关系,比如,00,01,10,11这4个取值可以依次对应这4个逻辑信道中ID从小到大的逻辑信道。终端设备可以根据F i域的取值确定该F i域对应的SL载波与4个逻辑信道中的哪个逻辑信道对应。
应理解,所述“F i域”仅是一个名称,其可以替换为其他的名称,如“A i域”、“LC i域”等,名称并不应对本申请构成任何限定。
另外,本申请中所涉及的列表中相应的ID(若为载波列表,也可以是载波对应的频率)按照升序或者降序的顺序排列。比如,DST ID列表中的DST ID按照DST ID的取值升序或者降序排列,如DST ID列表共包括DST ID#0,DST ID#1和DST ID#2这三个DST ID,这三个DST ID在DST ID列表中的排列顺序可以是:DST ID#0,DST ID#1,DST ID#2,或者也可以是:DST ID#2,DST ID#1,DST ID#0。类似地,SLRB ID列表中的SLRB ID按照SLRB ID的取值升序或者降序排列。SL载波列表中的SL载波按照SL载波对应的频率升序或者降序排列。下文中所涉及的列表中相应的ID(若为载波列表,也可以是载波对应的频率)的排列顺序也可以参照此处的说明,下文中将不再赘述。
参见图6,图6示出了第一信息为格式一时的一个示例。图6中,第一DST ID索引,即第一DST ID对应的索引即为上述的第一域。如上文所述,第一DST ID索引也可以替换为第一DST ID。第一SLRB ID对应上述的第二域,如上文所述,第一SLRB ID也可以替换为第一SLRB ID对应的索引。F 0域至F 7域对应上述的v个F i域。应理解,这里仅以v=8为例,本申请并不限定v的取值。
举例来说,假设所述n个SL载波为SL载波#1至SL载波#5,第一SLRB对应2个逻辑信道,即逻辑信道#1和逻辑信道#2,SL载波列表为{SL载波#1,SL载波#2,……SL 载波#8}。F 0域对应SL载波#1,F 1域对应SL载波#2,F 2域对应SL载波#3,F 3域对应SL载波#4,F 4域对应SL载波#5。由于所述n个SL载波中并不包括SL载波#6至SL载波#8,因此网络设备可以将F 5域至F 7域设置为默认值,终端设备忽略F 5域至F 7域。F i域取值为0和1中的一个,若0表示该F i域对应的SL载波#1与逻辑信道#1对应,1表示该F i域对应的SL载波与逻辑信道#2对应,那么,若F 0域至F 4域为11000,则逻辑信道#1与SL载波#3、SL载波#4和SL载波#5对应,逻辑信道#2与SL载波#1和SL载波#2对应。
应理解,图6仅是示例性说明,本申请并不限定各个域之间的相对位置,以及各个域所占用的比特位数量。比如,F 0域至F 7域也可以紧随第一域之后。比如,第一域也可以占用8个比特位。还应理解,图6所示的第一信息还可以包括图中未示出的其他内容。
上文中仅以网络设备配置第一SLRB对应的m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系为例进行说明。在实践中,网络设备还可以通过第一信息配置第一DST ID对应的其他配置了重复功能的SLRB对应的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
在此情况下,在一个示例中,第一信息还可以包括与第二域以及第二域对应的v个F i域类似的域。下面以第一DST ID总共对应5个SLRB(即,第一SLRB至第五SLRB),其中2个SLRB(即,第一SLRB和第二SLRB)配置了重复功能为例进行说明。
参见图7,图7示出了第一信息的可能的格式。如图7所示,第一信息除包括图6所示的信息外,还可以包括第二SLRB ID以及第二SLRB ID对应的v个F i域。第二SLRB ID也可以替换为第二SLRB ID对应的索引,第二SLRB ID对应的索引与第二SLRB在所述SLRB ID列表中的位置相关,具体可以参见上文对第一SLRB ID对应的索引的描述,这里不再说明。第二SLRB对应的v个F i域对应依次对应所述SL载波列表中的第1个至第v个SL载波,F i域指示其对应的SL载波与所述第二SLRB对应的逻辑信道中的哪个逻辑信道对应。第二SLRB对应的v个F i域的含义与第一SLRB对应的v个F i域的含义类似,具体可以参见上文对第一SLRB对应的v个F i域的说明,这里不再赘述。应理解,为了保持字节对齐,图7中可以设置相应的保留位R。
应理解,图7仅是示例性说明,本申请并不限定各个域之间的相对位置,以及各个域所占用的比特位数量。还应理解,图7所示的第一信息还可以包括图中未示出的其他内容。
可选地,在第一信息仅包括配置了重复功能的SLRB的相关信息的情况下,第一信息中指示SLRB的信息可以按照SLRB ID或SLRB ID对应的索引升序或者降序的顺序排序。比如,图7中,若第一SLRB ID小于第二SLRB ID,则第一SLRB ID可以紧随第一域之后;相反,则第二SLRB ID可以紧随第一域之后,即,图7中第一SLRB ID和第二SLRB ID位置互换。
在另一个示例中,第一信息的格式可以如图8所示。
参见图8,图8示出了第一信息的可能的另一种格式。如图8所示,第一信息可以包括第一域以及s个SLRB j域和r组v个F i域。1≤r≤s,且s和r均为整数,s为每个DST ID最多对应的SLRB数量或最多对应的具有重复功能的SLRB。图8中v=8,j=8,r=2。
每个SLRB j域占用一个比特位,j的取值可以从0开始,也可以从1开始,或者还可以从其他任一整数开始。当j的取值从0开始时,j的取值为0至s-1,所述s个SLRB j域为SLRB 0域至SLRB s-1域,SLRB j域与SLRB ID列表中的第j+1个SLRB ID对应。当j的取值从1开始时,j的取值为1至s,所述s个SLRB j域为SLRB 1域至SLRB s域,SLRB j 域与SLRB ID列表中的第j个SLRB ID对应。j为其他取值时,SLRB j域与SLRB ID的对应关系类似。应理解,这里的SLRB ID列表包括第一DST ID对应的所有SLRB或所有配置了重复功能的SLRB。若一个SLRB ID列表中的SLRB ID的数量小于s,则网络设备将对应的SLRB j域设置为默认值,终端设备忽略该SLRB j域。另外,若网络设备为一个DST ID对应的DST配置的SLRB中不包括某个SLRB j域所对应的SLRB,则终端设备忽略该SLRB j域。
SLRB j域用于指示第一信息中是否存在与SLRB j域所指示的SLRB对应的一组v个F i域。比如,当SLRB j域为1时,表示第一信息中存在该SLRB j域所指示的SLRB对应的一组v个F i域,当SLRB j域为0时,表示第一信息中不存在该SLRB j域所指示的SLRB对应的一组v个F i域,或者0和1的含义也可以反过来。
r组v个F i域与s个SLRB j域中的r个SLRB j域一一对应,所述r个SLRB j域为s个SLRB j域中指示存在对应的一组v个F i域的r个SLRB j域。F i域的含义与上文中的F i域的含义相同。
同样以第一DST ID总共对应5个SLRB(即,第一SLRB至第五SLRB),其中2个SLRB(即,第一SLRB和第二SLRB)配置了重复功能为例,对图8进行说明。
参见图8,SLRB 0域至SLRB 4域与第一SLRB至第五SLRB一一对应,SLRB 5域至SLRB 7域设置为默认值。假设SLRB 0域对应第一SLRB,SLRB 1域对应第二SLRB,……SLRB 4域对应第五SLRB,当SLRB j域为1时,表示第一信息中存在该SLRB j域所指示的SLRB对应的一组v个F i域,当SLRB j域为0时,表示第一信息中不存在该SLRB j域所指示的SLRB对应的一组v个F i域,那么,SLRB 0域和SLRB 1域为1,SLRB 2域至SLRB 4域为0。第一行F 0域至F 7域与SLRB 0对应,表示第一SLRB对应的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系;第二行F 0域至F 7域与SLRB 2对应,表示第二SLRB对应的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
应理解,为了保持字节对齐,图8中可以设置相应的保留位R。
应理解,图8仅是示例性说明,本申请并不限定各个域之间的相对位置,以及各个域所占用的比特位数量。还应理解,图8所示的第一信息还可以包括图中未示出的其他内容。
可以理解,网络设备除配置第一DST ID对应的一个或多个配置了重复功能的SLRB对应的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系以外,还可以通过第一信息配置其他一个或多个DST ID分别对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB对应的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。结合图9进行说明。
参见图9,图9示出了第一信息的一种可能的格式。如图9所示,第一信息包括每个DST ID索引(即DST ID对应的索引)、每个DST ID对应的一个或多个SLRB ID,以及每个SLRB ID对应的8个F i域。图9中的DST ID索引也可以替换为DST ID,SLRB ID也可以替换为SLRB ID对应的索引。
应理解,图9中示出的DST ID数量为z,SLRB数量也为z,即图9中假设一个DST ID仅对应一个配置了重复功能的SLRB,但实际中一个DST ID可以对应一个或多个配置了重复功能的SLRB。
还应理解,在通过第一信息配置其多个DST ID分别对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB对应的逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系时,第一信息的格式还可以是类似图8所示的格式, 即将图8所示的一个DST ID扩展到多个DST ID,与每个DST ID相关的内容都与图8所示类似,这里不再赘述。
上述中对第一信息的一种格式,即格式一进行了说明,下面对第一信息的另一种格式,即格式二进行说明。
格式二
第一信息包括第一域、m个第二域和每个第二域对应的v个F i域。
第一域包括指示第一DST ID的信息,其与格式一中的第一域相同,具体参见上述对第一域所作的说明。
m个第二域与所述m个逻辑信道一一对应。第二域包括其对应的LCID,或者其对应的LCID对应的索引。LCID对应的索引可以由网络设备指示,或者,LCID对应的索引与LCID在LCID列表中的位置相关。比如,若LCID列表中的LCID的索引从0开始,则某一个LCID对应的索引为该LCID在LCID列表中的位置减1,若LCID列表中的LCID的索引从1开始,则某一个LCID对应的索引为该LCID在LCID列表中的位置。举例来说,LCID列表为{LCID#1,LCID#2,LCID#3,……},假设某个LCID为LCID#2,则该LCID在LCID列表中的位置为2。若LCID列表中的LCID的索引从1开始,即LCID#1对应的索引为1,则该LCID对应的索引为2;若LCID列表中的LCID的索引从0开始,即LCID#1对应的索引为0,则该LCID对应的索引为1。LCID列表由终端设备和网络设备共同维护,LCID列表可以包括当前配置的所有LCID,或者包括第一SLRB对应的所有LCID。在一个示例中,所述m个第二域按照所述m个逻辑信道对应的LCID由小至大或者由大至小,或者按照所述m个逻辑信道对应的LCID对应的索引由小至大或者由大至小,与所述m个逻辑信道一一对应。
所述v个F i域中的每个F i域占用至少一个比特位,i为整数,v为终端设备最多能够支持的SL载波数量,v≥n,且v为整数。i的取值可以从0开始,也可以从1开始,或者还可以从其他任一整数开始。当i的取值从0开始时,i的取值为0至v-1,所述v个F i域为F 0域至F v-1域,F i域对应SL载波列表中的第i+1个SL载波;当i的取值从1开始时,i的取值为1至v,所述v个F i域为F 1域至F v域,F i域对应SL载波列表中的第i个SL载波。i为其他取值时,F i域与SL载波的对应关系类似。F i域指示其对应的SL载波与该F i域对应的第二域所对应的逻辑信道对应。例如,F i域为0时,表示F i域所对应的SL载波与第二域所指示的逻辑信道对应,F i域为1时,表示F i域所对应的SL载波与第二域所指示的逻辑信道不对应,或者0和1的含义也可以反过来。应理解,所述v个F i域所对应的v个SL载波包括所述n个SL载波。若n<v,例如v=8,n=7,若i的取值从0开始,这意味着F 7域并不对应所述n个SL载波中的任一载波,即F 7域没有对应的SL载波,在此情况下,F域可以设置为默认值,终端设备默认会无视F 7域的取值。对于其他没有对应SL载波的F i域也进行相同的处理。
所述SL载波列表由终端设备和网络设备共同维护,其可以包括当前所有SL载波,或者,可以仅包括第一DST ID对应的所有SL载波,或者,可以仅包括第一SLRB对应的所有SL载波。示例性的,所述n个SL载波可以是当前生效的所有SL载波,或者是第一DST ID对应的所有SL载波,或者可以是第一SLRB对应的所有SL载波。
应理解,所述“F i域”仅是一个名称,其可以替换为其他的名称,如“A i域”、“LC i域” 等,名称并不应对本申请构成任何限定。
需要说明的是,本申请中以LCID表示逻辑信道为例进行说明,实际中,也可以采用其他的信息表示逻辑信道,比如可以采用终端设备为逻辑信道分配的索引表示逻辑信道,相应地,LCID列表则替换为逻辑信道索引列表。
参见图10,图10示出了第一信息为格式二时的一个示例。图10中,第一DST ID索引,即第一DST ID对应的索引即为上述的第一域,如上文所述,第一DST ID索引也可以替换为第一DST ID。LCID#1至LCID#m为所述m个第二域。每个第二域对应8个F i域,即每个第二域对应一组F 0域至F 7域。应理解,这里仅以v=8为例,本申请并不限定v的取值。
举例来说,假设所述n个SL载波为SL载波#1至SL载波#5,第一SLRB对应2个逻辑信道,m=2,这2个逻辑信道为逻辑信道#1(对应LCID#1)和逻辑信道#2(对应LCID#2),SL载波列表为{SL载波#1,SL载波#2,……SL载波#8}。F 0域对应SL载波#1,F 1域对应SL载波#2,F 2域对应SL载波#3,F 3域对应SL载波#4,F 4域对应SL载波#5。由于所述n个SL载波中并不包括SL载波#6至SL载波#8,因此网络设备可以将F 5域至F 7域设置为默认值,终端设备忽略F 5域至F 7域。F i域取值为0和1中的一个,若1表示该F i域对应的SL载波与该F i域所对应的逻辑信道对应,0表示该F i域对应的SL载波不与该F i域所对应的逻辑信道对应。那么,若LCID#1对应的F 0域至F 4域为11000,则逻辑信道#1与SL载波#1和SL载波#2对应。若LCID#2对应的F 0域至F 4域为00011,则逻辑信道#1与SL载波#4和SL载波#5对应。
应理解,图10仅是示例性说明,本申请并不限定各个域之间的相对位置,以及各个域所占用的比特位数量。还应理解,图10所示的第一信息还可以包括图中未示出的其他内容。
可以理解,第一信息除用于指示所述m个逻辑信道中的每个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系之外,还可以用于指示第一SLRB对应的其他逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。进一步地,第一信息还可以指示第一DST ID对应的其他SLRB对应的一个或多个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。在一个示例中,具体如何指示,可以参考上述所示的格式二或者参考图10。在另一个示例中,此时第一信息的格式可以如图11所示。
参见图11,图11示出了第一信息的一种可能的格式。如图11所示,第一信息可以包括第一域以及s个LCID j域和r组v个F i域。1≤r≤s,且s和r均为整数,s为每个DST ID最多对应的逻辑信道的数量。图11中v=8,j=8,r=2。
每个LCID j域占用一个比特位,j的取值可以从0开始,也可以从1开始,或者还可以从其他任一整数开始。当j的取值从0开始时,j的取值为0至s-1,所述s个LCID j域为LCID 0域至LCID s-1域,LCID j域与LCID列表中的第j+1个LCID对应。当j的取值从1开始时,j的取值为1至s,所述s个LCID j域为LCID 1域至LCID s域,LCID j域与LCID列表中的第j个LCID对应。j为其他取值时,LCID j域与LCID的对应关系类似。应理解,这里的LCID列表包括第一DST ID对应的所有LCID。若一个LCID列表中的LCID的数量小于s,则网络设备将对应的LCID j域设置为默认值,终端设备忽略该LCID j域。另外,若网络设备为一个DST ID对应的DST配置的LCID中不包括某个LCID j域所对应的LCID,则终端设备忽略该LCID j域。
LCID j域用于指示第一信息中是否存在与LCID j域所指示的逻辑信道对应的一组v个F i域。比如,当LCID j域为1时,表示第一信息中存在该LCID j域所指示的逻辑信道对应的一组v个F i域,当LCID j域为0时,表示第一信息中不存在该LCID j域所指示的逻辑信道对应的一组v个F i域,或者0和1的含义也可以反过来。
r组v个F i域与s个LCID j域中的r个LCID j域一一对应,所述r个LCID j域为s个LCID j域中指示存在对应的一组v个F i域的r个LCID j域。F i域的含义与格式二或图10中的F i域的含义相同。
同样以第一DST ID总共对应5个逻辑信道(即,第一逻辑信道至第五逻辑信道),其中2个逻辑信道(即,第一逻辑信道和第二逻辑信道)对应的SLRB配置了重复功能为例,对图11进行说明。
参见图11,LCID 0域至LCID 4域与第一逻辑信道至第五逻辑信道一一对应,LCID 5域至LCID 7域设置为默认值。假设LCID 0域对应第一逻辑信道,LCID 1域对应第二逻辑信道,……LCID 4域对应第五逻辑信道,当LCID j域为1时,表示第一信息中存在该LCID j域所指示的逻辑信道对应的一组v个F i域,当LCID j域为0时,表示第一信息中不存在该LCID j域所指示的逻辑信道对应的一组v个F i域,那么,LCID 0域和LCID 1域为1,LCID 2域至LCID 4域为0。第一行F 0域至F 7域与LCID 0对应,表示第一逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系;第二行F 0域至F 7域与LCID 2对应,表示第二逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。
应理解,为了保持字节对齐,图11中可以设置相应的保留位R。
应理解,图11仅是示例性说明,本申请并不限定各个域之间的相对位置,以及各个域所占用的比特位数量。还应理解,图11所示的第一信息还可以包括图中未示出的其他内容。
此外,第一信息还可以指示除第一DST ID之外的其他DST ID对应的一个或多个SLRB对应的一个或多个逻辑信道与SL载波的对应关系。具体如何指示,均可以参考上述所示的格式二或者参考图10或图11,本文中不再赘述。
上文中结合图5至图11描述了网络设备配置逻辑信道与SL载波的对关系的方案。下面对本申请提供的另一种用于激活或去激活SLRB的方案进行说明。
图12是本申请提供的另一通信方法的示意性流程图。下面对图12所示的方法400中的各步骤进行说明。
S410,网络设备向终端设备发送SLRB配置信息。
示例性的,SLRB配置信息可以通过RRC信令(或称,RRC消息)或者广播消息携带,本申请不作限定。
SLRB配置信息可以配置p个SLRB,并且指示所述p个SLRB与第一DST ID对应。其中,p个SLRB均配置了重复功能。SLRB配置了重复功能的含义可以参照上述描述。所述p个SLRB可以是第一DST ID对应的所有SLRB中所有配置了重复功能的SLRB,但本申请对此不作限定。
S420,网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息。
其中,第一信息用于指示第一DST ID。第一指示信息还指示所述p个SLRB中激活重复功能的SLRB和/或去激活重复功能的SLRB。也就是说,第一信息可以指示所述p个SLRB中哪些SLRB的重复功能需要激活,或者,第一信息可以指示所述p个SLRB中哪 些SLRB的重复功能需要去激活,或者第一指示信息可以同时指示所述p个SLRB中哪些SLRB的重复功能需要激活,以及哪些SLRB的重复功能需要去激活。
可选地,第一信息可以是MAC CE,但本申请对此不作限定。
根据本申请提供的方法,网络设备可以根据实际需求,灵活激活/去激活SLRB的重复功能,从而有利于提高系统性能。
下面对第一信息的可能的格式进行举例说明。
格式一
第一信息可以包括第一域和p个B i域。
其中,第一域为包括指示第一DST ID的信息。这里的第一域与方法200和300中的第一域相同,不再赘述。
每个B i域占用一个比特位,i为整数。i的取值可以从0开始,也可以从1开始,或者还可以从其他任一整数开始。当i的取值从0开始时,i的取值为0至p-1,所述p个B i域为B 0域B p-1域,B i域对应SLRB ID列表中的第i+1个SLRB ID所指示的SLRB。当i的取值从1开始时,i的取值为1至p,所述p个B i域为B 1域至B p域,B i域对应SLRB ID列表中的第i个SLRB ID所指示的SLRB。i为其他取值时,B i域与SLRB ID的对应关系类似。SLRB ID列表包括所述p个SLRB ID,SLRB ID列表由网络设备和终端设备共同维护。
在一个示例中,B i域指示其对应的SLRB(即,B i域对应的SLRB ID所指示的SLRB)的重复功能是否处于激活状态,即B i域指示是否激活其对应的SLRB的重复功能。例如,当B i域为0时,表示激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能,或者,当B i域为1时,表示激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能。
在另一示例中,B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能是否处于去激活状态,即B i域指示是否去激活其对应的SLRB的重复功能。例如,当B i域为0时,表示去激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能,或者,当B i域为1时,表示去激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能。
在又一示例中,B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能处于激活状态还是去激活状态,即,B i域指示激活还是去激活其对应的SLRB的重复功能。比如,B i域为0时,表示激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能需,B i域为1时,表示去激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能,或者0和1的含义也可以反过来。
参见图13,图13示出了第一信息为格式一时的一个示例。图13中,第一DST ID索引,即第一DST ID对应的索引即为上述的第一域。B 0域至B 4域对应上述的p个B i域。应理解,这里仅以p=5为例,本申请并不限定p的取值。应理解,为保持字节对齐,第一信息还可以包括保留位R。
举例来说,所述p个SLRB为SLRB#1至SLRB#5,B 0域至B 4域依次对应SLRB#1至SLRB#5。假设B 0域至B 5域为10100。若B i域为1时,表示激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能需,B i域为0时,表示去激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能,那么,B 0域至B 5域表示激活SLRB#1和SLRB#3的重复功能,去激活其他的SLRB的重复功能。若B i域为1时,表示激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能需,B i域为0时,表示不激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能,那么,B 0域至B 5域表示激活SLRB#1和SLRB#3的重复功能。若 B i域为1时,表示去激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能需,B i域为0时,表示不去激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能,那么,B 0域至B 5域表示去激活SLRB#1和SLRB#3的重复功能。
应理解,图13仅是示例性说明,本申请并不限定各个域之间的相对位置,以及各个域所占用的比特位数量。比如,第一域、B 0域至B 4域以及保留位的相对位置还可以如图14或图15所示。还应理解,图13所示的第一信息还可以包括图中未示出的其他内容。
还应理解,本文中“B i域”仅是一个名称,其可以替换为其他名称,本申请对此不作限定。
上文中仅以网络设备配置第一DST ID对应的p个SLRB中激活重复功能的SLRB和/或去激活重复功能的SLRB为例进行说明。在实践中,网络设备还可以通过第一信息配置除第一DST ID之外的其他一个或多个DST ID分别对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB中激活重复功能的SLRB和/或去激活重复功能的SLRB。结合图16进行说明。
参见图16,图16示出了第一信息的一种可能的格式。如图16所示,第一信息包括每个DST ID索引(即DST ID对应的索引)以及每个DST ID对应的5个B i域。图16中示出的DST ID数量为z。
应理解,图中的DST ID索引也可以替换为DST ID。另外,每个DST ID对应的5个B i域所指示的5个SLRB为该DST ID所对应的SLRB中配置了重复功能的5个SLRB。实际中,每个DST ID对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB的数量可以不同,这里仅以每个DST ID对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB的数量为5为例进行说明。
还应理解,也可以通过扩展图14或图15所示的格式,指示DST ID分别对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB中激活重复功能的SLRB和/或去激活重复功能的SLRB。
格式二
第一信息可以包括第一域和v个B i域,v为每个DST ID对应的DST(或业务)最多能够配置的SLRB数量,v≥p,且v为整数。
其中,第一域为指示第一DST ID的信息。这里的第一域与方法200和300中的第一域相同,不再赘述。

在一个示例中,B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能是否处于激活状态,即B i域指示是否激活其对应的SLRB的重复功能。例如,当B i域为0时,表示激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能,或者,当B i域为1时,表示激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能。
在另一示例中,B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能是否处于去激活状态,即B i域指示是否去激活其对应的SLRB的重复功能。例如,当B i域为0时,表示去激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能,或者,当B i域为1时,表示去激活该B i域所对应的SLRB的重复功能。
在又一示例中,B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能处于激活状态还是去激活状态,即,B i域指示激活还是去激活其对应的SLRB的重复功能。比如,B i域为0时,表示激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能需,B i域为1时,表示去激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能,或者0和1的含义也可以反过来。
应理解,与格式一不同的是,格式一中与第一DST ID对应的B i域为p个,p为第一DST ID对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB的数量。格式二中与第一DST ID对应的B i域为v个,p为网络设备为一个DST ID最多能够配置的SLRB的数量。
参见图17,图17示出了第一信息为格式一时的一个示例。图17中,第一DST ID索引,即第一DST ID对应的索引即为上述的第一域。B 0域至B 7域对应上述的p个B i域。应理解,这里仅以p=8为例,本申请并不限定p的取值。应理解,为保持字节对齐,第一信息还可以包括保留位R。
举例来说,所述p个SLRB为SLRB#1至SLRB#8,B 0域至B 7域依次对应SLRB#1至SLRB#8。假设B i域为1时,表示激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能,B i域为0时,表示去激活B i域对应的SLRB的重复功能。那么,若B 0域至B 7域为10100001,则表示激活SLRB#1、SLRB#3和SLRB#8,去激活其他的SLRB。
应理解,图17仅是示例性说明,本申请并不限定各个域之间的相对位置,以及各个域所占用的比特位数量。比如,第一域、B 0域至B 7域以及保留位的相对位置还可以如图18或图19所示。还应理解,图17所示的第一信息还可以包括图中未示出的其他内容。
还应理解,本文中“F i域”仅是一个名称,其可以替换为其他名称,本申请对此不作限定。
上文中仅以网络设备配置第一DST ID对应的p个SLRB中激活重复功能的SLRB和/或去激活重复功能的SLRB为例进行说明。在实践中,网络设备还可以通过第一信息配置除第一DST ID之外的其他一个或多个DST ID分别对应的配置了重复功能的SLRB中激活重复功能的SLRB和/或去激活重复功能的SLRB。结合图20进行说明。
参见图20,图20示出了第一信息的一种可能的格式。如图20所示,第一信息包括每个DST ID索引(即DST ID对应的索引)以及每个DST ID对应的8个B i域。图20中示出的DST ID数量为z。
应理解,图中的DST ID索引也可以替换为DST ID。网络设备为一个DST ID最多能够配置的SLRB的数量也可以不是8,这里仅以网络设备为一个DST ID最多能够配置的SLRB的数量为8为例进行说明。
还应理解,也可以通过扩展图18或图19所示的格式,指示DST ID分别对应的配置 了重复功能的SLRB中激活重复功能的SLRB和/或去激活重复功能的SLRB。
格式三

每个DST j域占用一个比特位,j为整数。j的取值可以从0开始,也可以从1开始,或者还可以从其他任一整数开始。当j的取值从0开始时,j的取值为0至s-1,所述s个DST j域为DST 0域至DST s-1域,DST j域与DST ID列表中的第j+1个DST ID对应。当j的取值从1开始时,j的取值为1至s,所述s个DST j域为DST 1域至DST s域,DST j域与DST ID列表中的第j个DST ID对应。j为其他取值时,DST j域与DST ID的对应关系类似。DST j域用于指示第一信息中是否存在与DST j域所指示的DST ID对应的一组v个B i域,所述s个DST j域所对应的DST ID中包括第一目的标识。
所述r组v个B i域与所述s个DST j域中的r个DST j域一一对应,所述r个DST j域为s个DST j域中指示存在对应的一组v个B i域的r个DST j域。
每个B i域占用一个比特位,i为整数。i的取值可以从0开始,也可以从1开始,或者还可以从其他任一整数开始。当i的取值从0开始时,i的取值为0至v-1,所述v个B i域为B 0域B v-1域,B i域对应该B i域对应的DST j域所对应的SLRB ID列表中的第i+1个SLRB ID所指示的SLRB。当i的取值从1开始时,i的取值为1至v,所述v个B i域为B 1域至B v域,B i域对应该B i域对应的DST j域所对应的SLRB ID列表中的第i个SLRB ID所指示的SLRB。i为其他取值时,B i域与SLRB ID的对应关系类似。v可以是一个DST ID最多能够对应的SLRB的数量,也可以是一个DST ID最多能够配置重复功能的SLRB的数量,本申请对此不作限定。
SLRB ID列表由网络设备和终端设备共同维护,某个DST ID所对应的SLRB ID列表可以包括该DST ID对应的所有SLRB ID。应理解,与所述第一DST ID对应的v个B i域所对应的v个SLRB包括所述p个SLRB。若一个SLRB ID列表中的SLRB ID的数量小于v,则网络设备将对应的B i域设置为默认值,终端设备忽略该F i域。另外,若网络设备为一个DST ID对应的DST配置的SLRB中不包括某个B i域所对应的SLRB,则终端设备忽略该B i域;和/或,若某个B i域对应的SLRB没有配置重复功能,则终端设备忽略该B i域。
若所述B i域对应的SLRB配置有重复功能,在一个示例中,所述B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能是否处于激活状态;在另一示例中,所述B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能是否处于去激活状态;在又一示例中,所述B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能是处于激活状态还是去激活状态。
以B i域指示其对应的SLRB的重复功能是处于激活状态还是去激活状态,结合图21所示的格式进行举例说明。图21中,假设s=16,v=8。DST 0域对应DST ID列表中的第1个DST ID,类似地,DST 1域对应DST ID列表中的第2个DST ID,其他类似不再赘述。若DST 0域为1,则表示存在对应的v个B i域,即B 0域至B 7域,若DST 0域为0,则表示不存在对应的v个B i域,或者0和1的含义反过来也可以。B 0域至B 7域表示8个SLRB,B i域为0时表示激活该B i域所对应的SLRB,B i域为1时表示去激活该B i域所对应的SLRB, 或者,0和1的含义也可以反过来。
举例来说,若DST 0域为1,则表示存在对应的v个B i域。假设DST 1域对应第一DST ID,且DST 1域为1,若DST 0域也为1,则图21中的第二行B 0域至B 7域与DST 1域对应。若所述p个SLRB为SLRB#1至SLRB#4,第一DST ID对应的SLRB ID列表为{SLRB ID#1,SLRB ID#2,SLRB ID#3,SLRB ID#4},并假设B i域为1时表示激活该B i域所对应的SLRB,B i域为0时表示去激活该B i域所对应的SLRB,则若第二行B 0域至B 3域为1001,表示激活SLRB ID#1和SLRB ID#4所指示的SLRB,去激活SLRB ID#2和SLRB ID#3所指示的SLRB。其中,第二行B 4域至B 7域设置为默认值。
可选地,在一种方式中,若只有小于或者等于n个DST ID对应的SLRB的重复功能需要激活和/或去激活,第一信息可以采用格式一或格式二。
可选地,在另一种方式中,若有大于n个DST ID对应的SLRB的重复功能需要激活和/或去激活,第一信息可以采用格式三。
示例性的,n≥1,且n为整数。n可以由协议规定,比如n=2,但本申请对此不作限定。
应理解,图6至图11以及图13至21中任一附图中所示的“Oct x”表示第x个字节,比如,“Oct 1”表示第1个字节。另外,任何对图6至图11以及图13至21中任一附图的等同的变形,都应落入本申请保护氛围内。
应理解,本申请实施例的各个方案可以进行合理的组合使用,并且实施例中出现的各个术语的解释或说明可以在各个实施例中互相参考或解释,对此不作限定。

其中,收发单元1100可以用于接收其他装置发送的信息,还可以用于向其他装置发送信息。比如,发送SL载波配置信息或接收SL载波配置信息。处理单元1200可以用于进行装置的部分处理,比如为逻辑信道选择对应的SL载波等。
