Description

通信方法、设备及系统 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及通信方法、设备及系统。
背景技术
当前,越来越多的终端设备支持双卡双激活(dual SIM dual active,DSDA)模式。所谓DSDA模式,是指终端设备可以同时安装两个(subscriber identification module,SIM)卡,即终端设备支持两个用户身份(一个SIM卡对应一个用户身份),并且两个SIM卡可以同时处于连接态,即终端设备可以同时以两个用户身份收发数据。
对于DSDA模式的终端设备,虽然可以同时以两个用户身份收发数据,但由于终端设备的硬件资源所支持的载波聚合能力是固定的,导致两个SIM卡的载波聚合能力会彼此制约。其中,SIM卡的载波聚合能力具体表现为SIM卡可用的频带。终端设备的两个SIM卡占用的频带构成的组合必须是终端设备支持的频带组合列表中的频带组合。现有技术只能采用固定划分的方式指定DSDA模式的终端设备的每个SIM卡可占用的频带。然而,此种固定划分的方式会大大制约终端设备每个SIM卡的可用频带,进而制约终端设备的数据传输速度。
因此,如何协调DSDA模式的终端设备的两个SIM卡的载波聚合能力,以提高DSDA模式的终端设备的数据传输速度,为用户提供更好的用户体验,是目前亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供的通信方法、设备及系统,能够协调DSDA模式的终端设备的两个SIM卡的载波聚合能力,提高DSDA模式的终端设备的数据传输速度,提升用户体验。

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。其中,在本申请的描述中,除非另有说明,“/”表示前后关联的对象是一种“或”的关系,例如,A/B可以表示A或B;本申请中的“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,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。并且,在本申请的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”是指两个或多于两个。“以下至少一项(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,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。另外,为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案,在本申请的实施例中,采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。同时,在本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念,便于理解。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,将终端设备安装一个SIM卡,视为是终端设备支持一个用户身份,例如,安装两个SIM卡的终端设备,视为支持两个用户身份。其中,SIM卡和用户身份是一一对应的关系。本申请实施例主要是以终端设备支持两 个用户身份为例进行说明,这两个用户身份分别称为第一用户身份和第二用户身份。其中,第一用户身份可以理解为终端设备安装了SIM卡A后具有的用户身份,第二用户身份可以理解为终端设备安装了SIM卡B后具有的用户身份。而在其它可能的实施例中,如果终端设备安装两个以上的SIM卡,则终端设备就支持两个以上的用户身份,例如终端设备支持三个用户身份、四个用户身份或更多的用户身份,并可以注册在两个以上的网络中,其中每个用户身份可以注册在一个网络中。其中,当终端设备支持两个以上的用户身份时,其具体实现可以参照终端设备支持两个用户身份的相关描述,本申请实施例对此不进行详细阐述。
其中,当终端设备的用户身份为第一用户身份时,从网络侧的角度来看,终端设备可以理解为一个用户(从协议的角度来看,就是一个终端设备,例如,称为第一用户);当终端设备的用户身份为第二用户身份时,从网络侧的角度来看,终端设备可以理解为另一个用户(例如,称为第二用户)。终端设备可以以第一用户身份注册在第一网络,以及以第二用户身份注册在第二网络。本申请实施例中,终端设备支持一个用户身份,也可以描述为,终端设备具有一个用户身份。同理,终端设备支持两个用户身份,也可以描述为,终端设备具有两个用户身份。
另外需要说明的是,在本申请的各个实施例中所述的“终端设备的第一用户身份”,可以理解为,“终端设备支持的第一用户身份”,这两种描述方式所指示的内容是相同的,这两种描述方式可以互换。同理,“终端设备的第二用户身份”,可以理解为,“终端设备支持的第二用户身份”,这两种描述方式所指示的内容是相同的,这两种描述方式可以互换。
为叙述方便,本申请的各个实施例中,将DSDA模式的终端设备安装的两个SIM卡分别称为SIM卡A和SIM卡B。相应的,终端设备可以支持两个用户身份,将其中SIM卡A对应的用户身份称为第一用户身份,SIM卡B对应的用户身份称为第二用户身份。
如图1所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统10,该通信系统10包括支持第一用户身份和第二用户身份的终端设备101和终端设备以第二用户身份接入的第一接入网设备102。终端设备101和第一接入网设备102之间可以直接通信,也可以通过其他设备的转发进行通信,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
其中,终端设备101,用于获取第一信息或第二信息,该第一信息包括第一用户身份的服务小区信息,该第二信息包括第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表或频带列表。终端设备101,还用于以第二用户身份向第一接入网设备102发送该第一信息或该第二信息。第一接入网设备102,用于接收终端设备101以第二用户身份发送的第一信息或第二信息,并根据第一信息或第二信息,确定是否将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区。其中,上述方案的具体实现将在后续方法实施例中详细阐述,在此不予赘述。
由于本申请实施例中,终端设备获取包括第一用户身份的服务小区信息的第一信息,进而以第二用户身份向第一接入网设备发送第一信息,因此第一接入网设备能够接收来自终端设备的第一信息,并根据第一信息确定第一用户身份的服务小区的信息,进而综合考虑第一用户身份的服务小区和第二用户身份的服务小区,为第二用户身份 添加服务小区。即,终端设备其中一个SIM卡(如SIM卡A)对应的接入网设备能够获取另一个SIM卡(即SIM卡B)的服务小区信息,从而综合两个SIM卡的服务小区的信息,为该SIM卡(即SIM卡A)对应的用户身份增加新的服务小区。因此,本申请实施例能够为终端设备的SIM卡对应的用户身份配置与终端设备硬件资源相匹配的服务小区,使得终端设备配置的服务小区既不超出其硬件资源所能支持的上限,又能充分利用终端设备的硬件资源。避免了现有技术中,采用固定划分能力的方式配置服务小区所导致终端设备的硬件资源未得到充分利用的问题,从而可以提高终端设备的数据传输速度,提升用户体验。
或者,由于本申请实施例中,终端设备获取包括第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表或频带列表的第二信息,进而以第二用户身份向第一接入网设备发送该第二信息,因此第一接入网设备能够接收到来自终端设备的第二信息,并根据第二信息为第二用户身份配置服务小区。其中,由于终端设备在获取第二信息时已经考虑了第一用户身份的服务小区的信息,因此第一接入网设备可以根据第二信息为第二用户身份配置服务小区,从而使终端设备的服务小区数量既不超出其硬件资源所能支持的上限,又能充分利用终端设备的硬件资源。避免了现有技术中,采用固定划分能力的方式配置服务小区所导致终端设备的硬件资源未得到充分利用的问题,从而可以提高终端设备的数据传输速度,提升用户体验。
可选的,如图1所示,本申请实施例提供的通信系统10还可以包括第二接入网设备103。其中,第二接入网设备103为终端设备101以第二用户身份接入的目标接入网设备。

基于该通信系统10,第一接入网设备102确定将终端设备切换至第二接入网设备103的小区后,第二接入网设备103通过切换请求消息即可获取第一信息或第二信息,进而可以根据第一信息或第二信息为终端设备101的第二用户身份增加服务小区。

通过上述步骤S602-S605,gNB1可以获取终端设备支持的频带组合列表。若后续终端设备切出gNB1的服务范围,连接至其他gNB,为了便于其他gNB获取终端设备支持的频带组合列表,本申请实施例中,在步骤S605之后,还可以包括如下步骤S606:
S606、gNB1向核心网设备发送UE能力指示消息,该消息中携带终端设备的能力信息;核心网设备接收来自gNB1的UE能力指示消息。
这样,后续其他gNB即可从核心网设备获取终端设备支持的频带组合列表。
可选的,本申请实施例中,核心网设备接收来自gNB1的UE能力指示消息之后,还可保存终端设备的能力信息,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,图6所示的获取终端设备支持的频带组合列表的方法仅仅是本申请实施例提供的一种示例性方法,并不构成对本申请的限定。本领域技术人员也可以采用其他方法获取终端设备支持的频带组合列表,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
进一步的,如图5所示,当终端设备的第二用户身份从空闲态或去激活态进入到连接态时,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还可以进一步包括以下步骤S502:
S502、终端设备获取第一信息或第二信息。
其中,第一信息包括第一用户身份的服务小区信息,第二信息包括第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表或频带列表。
可选的,第一用户身份的服务小区信息包括第一用户身份的至少一个服务小区中每个服务小区的第三信息。第三信息包括以下信息中的至少一项:频带信息、同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB)频点、小区标识信息(比如,物理小区标识)、 带宽信息、带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)配置信息以及RRC状态信息。
其中,终端设备如何获取第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表或频带列表,取决于具体实现。示例性的,一种可能的实现方式是,在终端设备支持的频带组合列表的基础上,先剔除其中不包含第一用户身份的服务小区对应的频带的频带组合,进而在剩余频带组合的基础上,删掉其中第一用户身份的服务小区对应的频带,得到若干频带组合和频带,其中的频带组合构成第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表,频带构成第二用户身份支持的频带列表。其中,小区对应的频带是指小区使用的物理频率所属的频带。示例性的,假设终端设备支持的频带组合列表为图7(a)所示的频带组合列表,第一用户身份的服务小区对应的频带为band2,先剔除图7(a)中不包含band2的频带组合2,进而在此基础上删掉各剩余频带组合中的band2,即得到如图7(b)所示的若干频带组合和频带。图7(b)中的频带组合{band3,band4}和{band1,band3}即构成第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表,如图7(c)所示。图7(b)中的频带band1、band3和band4即构成第二用户身份支持的频带列表,如图7(d)所示。
一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备的第二用户身份是以空闲态进入连接态的,则如图5所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还包括如下步骤S503a-S505a:
S503a、终端设备以第二用户身份向gNB1发送无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)建立请求消息;gNB1接收终端设备以第二用户身份发送的RRC建立请求消息。

S505b、终端设备以第二用户身份向gNB1发送RRC恢复完成消息;gNB1接收终端设备以第二用户身份发送的RRC恢复完成消息。
其中,RRC恢复完成消息中携带第一信息或第二信息。
进一步的,一种可能的实现方式中,若RRC建立完成消息或RRC恢复完成消息中携带的是第一信息,则如图5所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还包括如下步骤S506a-S507a:
S506a、gNB1根据第一信息,确定至少一个第一频带。
其中,至少一个第一频带包括第一用户身份的至少一个服务小区中的每个服务小区对应的频带。例如,当第一用户身份的服务小区为3个服务小区,假设分别为cell1、cell2和cell3,则至少一个第一频带包括cell1对应的频带、cell2对应的频带和cell3 对应的频带。
可以理解,若第一用户身份的服务小区中有两个或两个以上的服务小区对应同一频带,则至少一个第一频带包括两个或两个以上的该频带。例如,上一示例中的服务小区cell1和cell2均对应频带band1,服务小区cell3对应频带band3,则至少一个第一频带包括band1、band1和band3。
S507a、gNB1根据终端设备支持的频带组合列表、至少一个第一频带、至少一个第二频带以及第一小区对应的第三频带,确定是否将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区。
其中,至少一个第二频带包括第二用户身份的至少一个服务小区中的每个服务小区对应的频带。与第一频带类似,若第二用户身份的服务小区中有两个或两个以上的服务小区对应同一频带,则至少一个第二频带包括两个或两个以上的该频带。
示例性的,一种可能的实现方式中,步骤S507a具体可以包括:gNB1确定终端设备支持的频带组合列表中是否存在至少一个第一频带、至少一个第二频带以及第三频带构成的频带组合;若终端设备支持的频带组合列表中存在该频带组合,gNB1确定将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区;若终端设备支持的频带组合列表中不存该频带组合,gNB1确定不能将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区。
示例性的,假设至少一个第一频带包括频带band1,至少一个第二频带包括频带band2,第一小区对应的第三频带为band3,若终端设备支持的频带组合列表中存在频带组合{band1,band2,band3},则gNB1确定可以将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的一个服务小区;反之,若终端设备支持的频带组合列表中不存在频带组合{band1,band2,band3},则gNB1确定不将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区。
另一种可能的实现方式中,若RRC建立完成消息或RRC恢复完成消息中携带的是第二信息,并且第二信息包括第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表,则如图5所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还包括如下步骤S506b:
S506b、gNB1根据第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表、至少一个第二频带以及第一小区对应的第三频带,确定是否将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区。
示例性的,一种可能的实现方式中,步骤S506b具体可以包括:gNB1确定第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表中是否存在至少一个第二频带和第三频带构成的频带组合;若第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表中存在该频带组合,gNB1确定将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区;若第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表中不存在该频带组合,gNB1确定不能将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的服务小区。
示例性的,假设至少一个第二频带包括频带band2,第三频带为band3,若第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表中存在频带组合{band2,band3},则gNB1确定可以将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的一个服务小区;反之,若第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表中不存在频带组合{band2,band3},则gNB1确定不能将第一小区增加为第二用户身份的一个服务小区。
其中,需要说明的是,在为终端设备对应用户身份增加服务小区时,可以按照本申请实施例中步骤S506a-S507a或者步骤S506b所示,即每次为对应用户身份增加单个服务小区;也可以一次为对应用户身份增加多个服务小区,本申请实施例对此不作 具体限定。
由于本申请实施例中,终端设备获取包括第一用户身份的服务小区信息的第一信息,进而以第二用户身份向gNB1发送第一信息,因此gNB1能够接收来自终端设备的第一信息,并根据第一信息确定第一用户身份的服务小区的信息,进而综合考虑第一用户身份的服务小区和第二用户身份的服务小区,为第二用户身份添加服务小区。也就是说,本申请实施例中,终端设备能够将其中一个SIM卡(如SIM卡A)占用的频带上报给另一个SIM卡(即SIM卡B)接入的gNB1,从而使得gNB1可以根据SIM卡A占用的频带信息动态调整SIM卡B可用的频带,从而协调两个SIM卡的载波聚合能力。避免了现有技术中,采用固定划分的方式指定每个SIM卡可占用的频带对终端设备数据传输速度造成的制约,可以提高终端设备的数据传输速度,提升用户体验。
或者,由于本申请实施例中,终端设备获取包括第二用户身份支持的频带组合列表或频带列表的第二信息,进而以第二用户身份向gNB1发送该第二信息,因此gNB1能够接收到来自终端设备的第二信息,并根据第二信息为第二用户身份配置服务小区。其中,由于终端设备在获取第二信息时已经考虑了第一用户身份的服务小区的信息,因此gNB1可以根据第二信息为第二用户身份增加服务小区。也就是说,本申请实施例中,终端设备可以根据其中一个SIM卡(如SIM卡A)占用的频带确定另一个SIM卡(即SIM卡B)的可用频带,对两个SIM卡的载波聚合能力进行了协调,从而使得SIM卡B接入的gNB1能够获得SIM卡B可用的频带,进而基于此为第二用户身份添加服务小区。避免了现有技术中,采用固定划分的方式指定每个SIM卡可占用的频带对终端设备数据传输速度造成的制约,可以提高终端设备的数据传输速度,提升用户体验。
其中,上述步骤S501至S507a或步骤S501至S506b中的终端设备或gNB1的动作可以由图4所示的通信设备400中的处理器401调用存储器403中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本实施例对此不作任何限制。

进一步的,当终端设备的第一用户身份的服务小区信息变更时,如图8所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还可以包括如下步骤S803:
S803、终端设备以第二用户身份向gNB1发送RRC消息;gNB1接收终端设备以第二用户身份发送的RRC消息。
其中,RRC消息中携带第一信息或第二信息。示例性的,RRC消息例如可以是用户设备辅助信息(UE assistance information)消息,也可以是其他RRC消息,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。其中,用户设备辅助信息用于终端设备向网络设备发送辅助信息。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第一用户身份的服务小区信息变更可以包括:第一用户身份的至少一个服务小区的第三信息中的至少一项发生变更。示例性的,第三信息 中的至少一项发生变更例如可以是第一用户身份的服务小区的小区标识信息发生变更(比如增加、删除或更换第一用户身份的服务小区),或者第一用户身份的RRC状态发生变更(比如第一用户身份从空闲态变为激活态),或者BWP配置信息发生变更等。
其中,第一用户身份的服务小区信息的相关描述参考图5所示实施例中的描述。
可选的,终端设备内部的协议栈之间可以交互,当第一用户身份的服务小区信息变更时,第一用户身份对应的协议栈可以将变更的信息发送给第二用户身份对应的协议栈,从而触发第二用户身份对应的协议栈执行步骤S803。
可选的,若在步骤S803之前,gNB1已经获取了第一信息或第二信息,则gNB1用步骤S803中获取的第一信息或第二信息覆盖之前已获取的第一信息或第二信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,若步骤S803中发送的RRC消息中携带的是第一信息,则如图8所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还包括如下步骤S804a-S805a:
S804a-S805a、同步骤S506a-S507a,相关描述可参考图5所示的实施例,在此不再赘述。

S905a、gNB1确定终端设备支持的频带组合列表中是否存在至少一个第一频带与第一小区对应的第三频带构成的频带组合。
示例性的,假设第一用户身份的服务小区为cell2,且cell2对应的第一频带为band2,第一小区cell1对应的第三频带为band1。那么,至少一个第一频带与第一小区对应的第三频带构成的频带组合即{band1,band2}。
S906a、若终端设备支持的频带组合列表中存在该频带组合,gNB1确定将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区。
示例性的,接上一示例,假设至少一个第一频带与第一小区对应的第三频带构成的频带组合为{band1,band2},且终端设备支持的频带组合列表如图7(a)所示,则由于终端设备支持的频带组合列表中存在{band1,band2}的频带组合,因此gNB1确定可以将第一小区cell1作为第二用户身份的目标服务小区。
S907a、若终端设备支持的频带组合列表中不存在该频带组合,gNB1确定不将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区。
另一种可能的实现方式中,若gNB1接收到终端设备以第二用户身份发送的第二信息,且第二信息包括第二用户身份支持的频带列表,则如图9所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还包括如下步骤S904b-S906b:

S905b、若第二用户身份支持的频带列表中存在第三频带,gNB1确定将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区。
示例性的,假设第二用户身份支持的频带列表为图7(d)所示的频带列表,第一小区cell1对应的频带为band1。那么,由于第二用户身份支持的频带列表中存在band1,因此gNB1确定将第一小区cell1作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区。
S906b、若第二用户身份支持的频带列表中不存在第三频带,gNB1确定不将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区。
进一步的,若gNB1确定将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区,如图9所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法还包括如下步骤S908-S909:
S908、gNB1确定对终端设备执行切换。
S909、gNB1向gNB2发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息中携带第一信息或第二信息;gNB2接收来自gNB1的切换请求消息。
其中,gNB2为终端设备以第二用户身份接入的目标接入网设备,即第一小区(也是切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区)所属的接入网设备。
进一步的,gNB2获取第一信息或第二信息之后,可以根据第一信息或第二信息为第二用户身份增加服务小区,具体实现参考图5所示实施例中的步骤S506a-S507a或步骤S506b中gNB1为第二用户身份增加服务小区的实现,在此不再赘述。
当然,本申请实施例中,切换请求消息还包括第一小区的信息,第一小区的信息用于gNB2将终端设备以第二用户身份驻留在第一小区。
可选的,本申请实施例中,也可以采用现有技术的方案确定是否将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区,进而若gNB1确定将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区,继续执行上述步骤S908-S909,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中,也可能不是在gNB1确定将第一小区作为切换后第二用户身份的目标服务小区的情况下,才确定对终端设备执行切换,而是通过其他方式确定对终端设备执行切换,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。总之,本申请实施例中,gNB1接收来自终端设备的第一信息或第二信息之后,若gNB1确定对终端设备执行切换(如切换至gNB2服务的一个小区),则gNB1将第一信息或第二信息发送给gNB2。进而gNB2根据第一信息或第二信息为第二用户身份增加服务小区。
由于本申请实施例中,gNB1接收来自终端设备的第一信息或第二信息,进而在确定对终端设备执行切换后,将第一信息或第二信息发送给gNB2,gNB2能够获取第一信息或第二信息,进而根据第一信息或第二信息为第二用户身份增加服务小区。本申请实施例能够协调两个SIM卡的载波聚合能力(具体原因可参考上述图5所示通信方法中的相关描述),避免了现有技术中,采用固定划分的方式指定每个SIM卡可占用的频带对终端设备数据传输速度造成的制约,可以提高终端设备的数据传输速度,提升用户体验。
其中,上述步骤S901至S909中的终端设备或gNB1的动作可以由图4所示的通信设备400中的处理器401调用存储器403中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本实施例对此不作任何限制。
