Description

一种RRC连接方法、设备及系统A RRC connection method, equipment and system 技术领域Technical field
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接方法、设备及系统。The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) connection method, device, and system.
背景技术Background technique
在无线通信系统中,终端之间可以通过网络设备进行数据通信,也可以不借助网络设备,直接进行终端之间的通信。终端之间的无线通信接口(如PC5接口),类似终端与无线接入网设备(如基站)之间的空中接口(如Uu接口)。终端之间的链路也可以称为侧链路(sidelink),sidelink通信的一个典型应用场景即车联网(viecle to X,V2X)。在车联网中,每辆车为一个终端,车与车之间可以通过sidelink直接进行数据传输,而不需要经过网络设备,从而有效减少通信时延。In a wireless communication system, data communication between terminals can be carried out through network equipment, or communication between terminals can be directly carried out without the aid of network equipment. The wireless communication interface (such as the PC5 interface) between the terminals is similar to the air interface (such as the Uu interface) between the terminal and the wireless access network equipment (such as the base station). The link between the terminals may also be called a sidelink. A typical application scenario of sidelink communication is the Internet of Vehicles (V2X, V2X). In the Internet of Vehicles, each vehicle is a terminal, and data can be directly transmitted between vehicles through sidelink without going through network equipment, thereby effectively reducing communication delay.
上述终端之间的通信,也称为中继技术。在现有的中继技术中,规定第二终端例如远端设备可以通过第一终端例如中继设备与基站通信。例如,当远端设备需要向基站发送用户面数据或者控制面数据(如:RRC消息)时,远端设备可以通过远端设备与中继设备间的无线通信接口(如:PC5口)向中继设备发送用户面数据或者控制面数据,中继设备可以通过中继设备与基站间的无线通信接口向基站发送远端设备的用户面数据或者控制面数据。相对应的,当基站需要向远端设备发送用户面数据或者控制面数据时,基站也可以通过中继设备将用户面数据或者控制面数据发送给远端设备。The above-mentioned communication between terminals is also called relay technology. In the existing relay technology, it is stipulated that the second terminal, such as the remote device, can communicate with the base station through the first terminal, such as the relay device. For example, when a remote device needs to send user plane data or control plane data (such as RRC messages) to the base station, the remote device can communicate to the center through the wireless communication interface (such as PC5 port) between the remote device and the relay device. After the device sends user plane data or control plane data, the relay device can send the user plane data or control plane data of the remote device to the base station through the wireless communication interface between the relay device and the base station. Correspondingly, when the base station needs to send user plane data or control plane data to the remote device, the base station may also send the user plane data or control plane data to the remote device through the relay device.
如何保证远端设备与基站间有效建立RRC连接,是当前业界期待解决的问题。How to ensure the effective establishment of the RRC connection between the remote device and the base station is a problem that the industry is looking forward to solving.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
首先,为了便于理解本申请实施例,对本申请实施例涉及的一些协议栈进行描述:First, in order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, some protocol stacks involved in the embodiments of the present application are described:
RRC层:主要负责生成RRC消息、测量配置和上报,还可以负责其他功能:如发送专用的非接入层(non access stratum,NAS)消息、传输终端(user equipment,UE)接入能力信息等。RRC消息分为小区级别和UE级别,例如,系统广播消息等属于小区级别RRC消息,RRC连接控制等属于UE级别RRC消息。RRC layer: Mainly responsible for generating RRC messages, measurement configuration and reporting, and can also be responsible for other functions: such as sending dedicated non-access stratum (NAS) messages, transmitting terminal (user equipment, UE) access capability information, etc. . RRC messages are classified into cell-level and UE-level. For example, system broadcast messages and the like belong to cell-level RRC messages, and RRC connection control, etc., belong to UE-level RRC messages.
UE级别的RRC消息使用信令无线承载(signaling radio bearer,SRB)来传输。现有协议定义了3种SRB:SRB0、SRB1、SRB2。SRB0:默认存在的无线承载,使用SRB0的RRC消息在PDCP层是透明的,既没有完整性保护,也没有加解密处理,这些消息都是使用公共控制信道(common control channel,CCCH)来发送。SRB1:用于发送RRC消息,这些消息都是使用专用控制信道(dedicated control channel,DCCH)来发送。SRB2:用于发送包括NAS消息的RRC消息,SRB2的优先级要低于SRB1,并且SRB2总是在安全激活之后配置的。除了SRB0之外,每个SRB都有一个对应的PDCP层进行完整性保护和加解密,而每个PDCP层都有1个或2个对应的RLC层。UE-level RRC messages are transmitted using signaling radio bearer (SRB). The existing agreement defines three SRBs: SRB0, SRB1, and SRB2. SRB0: A radio bearer that exists by default. RRC messages that use SRB0 are transparent at the PDCP layer. There is neither integrity protection nor encryption and decryption processing. These messages are all sent using a common control channel (CCCH). SRB1: used to send RRC messages, these messages are all sent using a dedicated control channel (dedicated control channel, DCCH). SRB2: Used to send RRC messages including NAS messages. The priority of SRB2 is lower than that of SRB1, and SRB2 is always configured after security activation. In addition to SRB0, each SRB has a corresponding PDCP layer for integrity protection, encryption and decryption, and each PDCP layer has 1 or 2 corresponding RLC layers.
PDCP层:主要对来自控制面的RRC消息和来自数据面的IP包进行处理,其功能包 括:头部压缩和解压缩、加密/解密、完整性保护、传输用户数据和控制面数据、重排序和重传处理等。PDCP layer: mainly processes RRC messages from the control plane and IP packets from the data plane. Its functions include: header compression and decompression, encryption/decryption, integrity protection, transmission of user data and control plane data, reordering and Retransmission processing, etc.
RLC层:主要负责分段/级联和重组RLC业务数据单元(service data unit,SDU)、通过自动重传请求(automatic repeat request,ARQ)来进行纠错、对RLC协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)进行重排序、重复包检测、对RLC PDU进行重分段等。RLC layer: Mainly responsible for segmentation/cascading and reorganization of RLC service data unit (SDU), error correction through automatic repeat request (ARQ), and RLC protocol data unit (protocol data unit) , PDU) perform reordering, duplicate packet detection, and re-segment RLC PDU.
MAC层:主要负责匹配逻辑信道和传输信道、将属于一个或不同的逻辑信道的多个MAC SDU复用到同一个MAC PDU上,并发往PHY(physical)层、通过混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)来进行纠错、调度处理、逻辑信道优先级处理、调度信息上报、随机接入过程处理等。MAC layer: It is mainly responsible for matching logical channels and transmission channels, multiplexing multiple MAC SDUs belonging to one or different logical channels to the same MAC PDU, and sending them to the PHY (physical) layer, through the hybrid automatic repeat request ( Hybrid automatic repeat request, HARQ) to perform error correction, scheduling processing, logical channel priority processing, scheduling information reporting, random access process processing, etc.
PHY层:为传输数据所需要的物理链路创建、维持、拆除,而提供具有机械的,电子的,功能的和规范的特性。简单的说,PHY层确保原始的数据可在各种物理媒体上传输。PHY layer: Creates, maintains, and tears down the physical links required to transmit data, and provides mechanical, electronic, functional and standardized characteristics. Simply put, the PHY layer ensures that the original data can be transmitted on various physical media.
术语解释:Term explanation:
Sidelink上支持广播通信、单播通信和组播通信。Broadcast communication, unicast communication and multicast communication are supported on Sidelink.
广播通信类似与基站广播系统信息,即终端不做加密对外发送广播业务的数据,任何在有效接收范围内的其他终端,如果对该广播业务感兴趣都可以接收该广播业务的数据。Broadcast communication is similar to the base station broadcasting system information, that is, the terminal does not encrypt the data of the broadcast service, and any other terminal within the effective receiving range can receive the data of the broadcast service if it is interested in the broadcast service.
单播通信类似于终端与基站之间建立RRC连接之后进行的数据通信,需要终端之间在先建立单播连接。在建立单播连接之后,上述终端可以基于协商的标识进行数据通信,该数据可以是加密的,也可以是不加密的。相比于广播通信,在单播通信中,一般是建立了单播连接的终端之间进行单播通信。Unicast communication is similar to data communication after the RRC connection is established between the terminal and the base station, and the unicast connection between the terminals is required to be established first. After the unicast connection is established, the aforementioned terminal may perform data communication based on the negotiated identifier, and the data may be encrypted or unencrypted. Compared with broadcast communication, in unicast communication, unicast communication is generally performed between terminals that have established a unicast connection.
组播通信是指通信组内所有终端之间的通信,组内任一终端都可以收发该组播业务的数据。Multicast communication refers to communication between all terminals in a communication group, and any terminal in the group can send and receive data of the multicast service.

It can be understood that, as far as the network is concerned, the radio access network receives the RRC establishment request of the second terminal from the first terminal through the first SRB. As far as the second terminal is concerned, the second terminal sends the RRC establishment request of the second terminal to the first terminal, for the first terminal to send the foregoing RRC establishment request to the wireless network device through the first SRB.
本发明实施例中,第二终端可以重用sidelink单播连接的SL-SRB0向第一终端发送RRC建立请求,该SL-SRB0用于承载第二终端与第一终端之间交互sidelink单播连接的高层信令或者SL RRC信令。可选的,为了能让第一终端识别通过该SL-SRB0发送的是单播连接的信令还是用于第二终端与无线接入网设备之间进行通信的信令,在第一终端或第二终端的SL RLC层的头上增加指示信息。当第一终端收到第二终端发送的指示信息,可以获悉这是第二终端发给无线接入网设备的RRC消息,从而进一步讲该RRC消息转发给无线接入网设备。In the embodiment of the present invention, the second terminal can reuse the SL-SRB0 of the sidelink unicast connection to send the RRC establishment request to the first terminal. The SL-SRB0 is used to carry the sidelink unicast connection between the second terminal and the first terminal. High layer signaling or SL RRC signaling. Optionally, in order to allow the first terminal to recognize whether the signaling for unicast connection or the signaling used for communication between the second terminal and the radio access network device is sent through the SL-SRB0, the first terminal or Indication information is added to the header of the SL RLC layer of the second terminal. When the first terminal receives the instruction information sent by the second terminal, it can learn that this is an RRC message sent by the second terminal to the radio access network device, so that the RRC message is further forwarded to the radio access network device.
示例性的,上述指示信息可以为二进制比特数0或者1或者其他符号。具体的,采用哪种符号来表示指示信息可以由协议预先规定,本申请实施例不进行限定。例如,以比特数“1”指示RRC消息来自于第二终端为例,第二终端可以在数据经过SL RLC层处理时,将比特数“1”包括在数据的SL RLC包头中,并经过后续处理发送给第一终端。Exemplarily, the foregoing indication information may be a binary bit number of 0 or 1, or other symbols. Specifically, which symbol is used to represent the indication information may be pre-defined by the agreement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, taking the number of bits "1" to indicate that the RRC message comes from the second terminal as an example, the second terminal may include the number of bits "1" in the SL RLC header of the data when the data is processed by the SL RLC layer, and then go through the subsequent steps. The processing is sent to the first terminal.
示例性的,上述RRC建立请求(RRC setupRequest)可以由第二终端的RRC层生成,第二终端的RRC层和无线接入网设备的RRC层对应。RRC建立请求可以用于第二终端请求与无线接入网设备间建立RRC连接。示例性的,RRC建立请求可以替换为RRC连接请求(RRC connection request),还可以替换为RRC重建立请求(RRC connection reestablishment request或者RRC reestablishment request),或者为RRC连接恢复请求或RRC恢复请求(RRC connection resume request或者RRC resume request)或者其他用于建立RRC连接的请求消息。上述各个RRC请求可以统称为RRC消息,本发明不予限制。Exemplarily, the foregoing RRC setup request (RRC setupRequest) may be generated by the RRC layer of the second terminal, and the RRC layer of the second terminal corresponds to the RRC layer of the radio access network device. The RRC establishment request may be used for the second terminal to request the establishment of an RRC connection with the radio access network device. Exemplarily, the RRC establishment request can be replaced by an RRC connection request (RRC connection request), or an RRC reestablishment request (RRC connection reestablishment request or RRC reestablishment request), or an RRC connection restoration request or an RRC restoration request (RRC). connection resume request or RRC resume request) or other request messages used to establish an RRC connection. The foregoing RRC requests can be collectively referred to as RRC messages, which are not limited in the present invention.
可以理解,第二终端向第一终端发送的数据可以包括上述RRC消息。例如,该数据可以包括数据包头和负载(payload),上述RRC消息可以包括在该数据的payload中。具体的,结合图2,第二终端可以将上述数据经过第二终端的SL-RLC层、SL-MAC层、SL-PHY层处理后,通过第二终端与第一终端间的通道向第一终端发送。可选的,为了使经过第二终端的SL-RLC层、SL-MAC层、SL-PHY层处理后的数据适合在该通道发送,第二终端的SL-RLC层、SL-MAC层、SL-PHY层协议栈的具体格式由第二终端与第一终端间的无线通信接口协议规定。本申请实施例中,经过PDCP层处理后的数据可以称为PDCP协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU),经过RLC层处理后的数据可以称为RLC PDU,经过MAC层处理后的数据可以称为MAC PDU。It can be understood that the data sent by the second terminal to the first terminal may include the foregoing RRC message. For example, the data may include a data packet header and a payload, and the above-mentioned RRC message may be included in the payload of the data. Specifically, with reference to Figure 2, the second terminal may process the above-mentioned data through the SL-RLC layer, SL-MAC layer, and SL-PHY layer of the second terminal, and then forward the data to the first terminal through the channel between the second terminal and the first terminal. Terminal sent. Optionally, in order to make the data processed by the SL-RLC layer, SL-MAC layer, and SL-PHY layer of the second terminal suitable for transmission on this channel, the SL-RLC layer, SL-MAC layer, and SL-PHY layer of the second terminal -The specific format of the PHY layer protocol stack is specified by the wireless communication interface protocol between the second terminal and the first terminal. In the embodiments of this application, the data processed by the PDCP layer can be called PDCP protocol data unit (PDU), the data processed by the RLC layer can be called RLC PDU, and the data processed by the MAC layer can be called It is MAC PDU.
示例性的,上述数据经过不同协议层处理后包括的RRC消息不变,而数据经过不同协议层后可能会增加相应协议层的头。如:数据经过PDCP层处理后,会增加一个PDCP头,该PDCP头中可以包括PDCP序列号;后续,当数据经过MAC层处理后,会增加MAC头,MAC头中可以包括LCID、源地址(source address)字段和、目的地址(target address)字段中的一个或多个。由于上述数据是第二终端向第一终端发送,上述源地址字段中可以包括第二终端为第二终端与第一终端之间的该单播连接分配的层2标识的部分,目的地址字段中可以包括第一终端为所述单播连接分配的层2标识的部分。示例性的,MAC头中 包括的LCID可以用于标识传输数据的逻辑信道。层2标识可以用于在该单播连接内标识第一终端或第二终端,本申请实施例中,上述层2标识可以为终端在通道上的标识,例如终端在PC5口或侧链路sidelink或D2D链路的标识。Exemplarily, the RRC message included in the foregoing data is unchanged after being processed by different protocol layers, and the header of the corresponding protocol layer may be added after the data has passed through different protocol layers. For example, after the data is processed by the PDCP layer, a PDCP header will be added, which can include the PDCP sequence number; later, when the data is processed by the MAC layer, a MAC header will be added, and the MAC header can include LCID, source address ( One or more of the source address field and the target address (target address) field. Since the above data is sent by the second terminal to the first terminal, the source address field may include the part of the layer 2 identifier allocated by the second terminal for the unicast connection between the second terminal and the first terminal, and the destination address field It may include the part of the layer 2 identifier allocated by the first terminal for the unicast connection. Exemplarily, the LCID included in the MAC header can be used to identify the logical channel for data transmission. The layer 2 identifier can be used to identify the first terminal or the second terminal in the unicast connection. In the embodiment of the present application, the above layer 2 identifier can be the identifier of the terminal on the channel, for example, the terminal is on the PC5 port or the sidelink sidelink Or the ID of the D2D link.
可选的,在步骤401之前,第二终端发现第一终端并进行第一终端的选择或重选。第二终端选定第一终端后,与第一终端建立sidelink单播连接。Optionally, before step 401, the second terminal discovers the first terminal and selects or reselects the first terminal. After selecting the first terminal, the second terminal establishes a sidelink unicast connection with the first terminal.
示例性的,第一SRB位于公共控制信道,或者为SRB0。例如,第一终端从空闲态变成连接态的时候,可以先进行随机接入,获得上行同步。随后,通过SRB0向无线接入网设备发送RRC建立请求,以建立RRC如控制面的连接。本实施例中,第二终端通过第一终端与无线接入网设备之间建立控制面连接。在传输第二终端的RRC信令时,重用了第二终端与第一终端之间的sidelink SRB(SL-SRB0),以及第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的SRB0。可以理解,本发明实施例中的重用第一终端的SRB(如重用SRB0、SRB1、或SRB2)指重用第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的SRB的部分协议栈,例如RLC层、MAC层、PHY层。具体而言,第二终端与无线接入网设备之间基于SRB的通信,可以重用第一终端与无线接入网设备之间基于SRB的通信。可以理解,上述重用动作也可以为复用动作,例如复用第一终端的SRB0、SRB1、SRB2中的至少一个,或复用第一终端与第二终端之间的sidelink SRB。Exemplarily, the first SRB is located on the common control channel, or SRB0. For example, when the first terminal changes from an idle state to a connected state, it may perform random access first to obtain uplink synchronization. Subsequently, an RRC establishment request is sent to the radio access network device through SRB0 to establish an RRC connection such as a control plane. In this embodiment, the second terminal establishes a control plane connection with the wireless access network device through the first terminal. When transmitting the RRC signaling of the second terminal, the sidelink SRB (SL-SRB0) between the second terminal and the first terminal and the SRB0 between the first terminal and the radio access network device are reused. It can be understood that the reuse of the SRB of the first terminal in the embodiment of the present invention (such as the reuse of SRB0, SRB1, or SRB2) refers to the reuse of part of the protocol stack of the SRB between the first terminal and the radio access network device, such as the RLC layer, MAC Layer, PHY layer. Specifically, the SRB-based communication between the second terminal and the radio access network device may reuse the SRB-based communication between the first terminal and the radio access network device. It can be understood that the foregoing reuse action may also be a multiplexing action, such as multiplexing at least one of SRB0, SRB1, and SRB2 of the first terminal, or multiplexing the sidelink SRB between the first terminal and the second terminal.
具体而言,第一终端重用SRB0向无线接入网设备发送第二终端的RRC连接请求。在现有技术中,连接态的终端并不能通过SRB0向无线接入网设备发送信令。本实施例引入资源调度请求机制,实现连接态的第一终端通过SRB0发送上述RRC连接请求。如下列举两种实现方式:Specifically, the first terminal reuses SRB0 to send the RRC connection request of the second terminal to the radio access network device. In the prior art, the connected terminal cannot send signaling to the radio access network device through SRB0. This embodiment introduces a resource scheduling request mechanism to realize that the first terminal in the connected state sends the foregoing RRC connection request through SRB0. Two implementation methods are listed as follows:
实现方式一、Realization method one,
第一终端从无线接入网设备接收第一SRB的调度请求SR配置;和The first terminal receives the scheduling request SR configuration of the first SRB from the radio access network device; and
第一终端基于SR配置向无线接入网设备发送SR。The first terminal sends an SR to the wireless access network device based on the SR configuration.
示例性的,本实施例中为第一SRB引入SR配置,即无线接入网设备为第一终端提供第一SRB的SR配置。可选的,当第一SRB有待传数据且无调度资源时,第一终端向无线接入网设备发送SR。举例而言,当连接态的第一终端有SRB0的信令需要发送,且当前没有可用资源时,第一终端可以按照该SR配置向无线接入网设备发送SR。再者,为SRB0引入SR配置,也可以理解为第一终端为向无线接入网设备转发第二终端的RRC连接请求而引入的SR配置。Exemplarily, the SR configuration is introduced for the first SRB in this embodiment, that is, the radio access network device provides the SR configuration of the first SRB for the first terminal. Optionally, when the first SRB has data to be transmitted and there is no scheduling resource, the first terminal sends an SR to the radio access network device. For example, when the first terminal in the connected state has SRB0 signaling that needs to be sent, and there are currently no available resources, the first terminal may send an SR to the radio access network device according to the SR configuration. Furthermore, the introduction of SR configuration for SRB0 can also be understood as the SR configuration introduced by the first terminal to forward the RRC connection request of the second terminal to the radio access network device.
实现方式二、Realization method two,
第一SRB对应逻辑信道组,用于第一终端触发缓存状态报告BSR以请求资源调度。The first SRB corresponds to a logical channel group and is used by the first terminal to trigger a buffer status report BSR to request resource scheduling.
示例性的,本实施例中为SRB0配置对应的逻辑信道组,例如无线接入网设备为第一终端的SRB0配置对应的逻辑信道组,从而第一终端可以通过触发BSR来请求资源调度。具体而言,无线接入网设备向第一终端发送SRB0对应的逻辑信道组的配置。当SRB0有待传数据需要请求调度时,第一终端向无线接入网设备发送BSR,该BSR中携带上述逻辑信道组的指示信息。可以理解,上述SRB0对应的逻辑信道为逻辑信道0,本发明不做限定。示例性的,为第一终端的SRB0配置对应的逻辑信道组可以为1,当SRB0上有待传数据需要请求调度的时候,可以向基站上报BSR,在所述BSR中携带所述逻辑信道组 的指示信息及对应的缓存状态信息。Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the corresponding logical channel group is configured for SRB0. For example, the wireless access network device configures the corresponding logical channel group for SRB0 of the first terminal, so that the first terminal can request resource scheduling by triggering the BSR. Specifically, the radio access network device sends the configuration of the logical channel group corresponding to SRB0 to the first terminal. When SRB0 has data to be transmitted and needs to request scheduling, the first terminal sends a BSR to the radio access network device, and the BSR carries the indication information of the foregoing logical channel group. It can be understood that the logical channel corresponding to the above SRB0 is logical channel 0, which is not limited in the present invention. Exemplarily, the logical channel group corresponding to the SRB0 configuration of the first terminal may be 1. When there is data to be transmitted on SRB0 that needs to be scheduled to request scheduling, the BSR may be reported to the base station, and the logical channel group may be carried in the BSR. Indication information and corresponding cache status information.
本发明实施例的一个场景中,可能会有多个第二终端通过第一终端接入无线接入网设备为使得第一终端能够区分不同的第二终端,第一终端在向无线接入网设备发送第二终端的RRC连接请求时,需要携带第一终端为第二终端分配的标识(identify,ID),用于第一终端与无线接入网设备通信过程中,识别是哪个第二终端。在本实施例中,该标识可以为索引(index)。具体的,第一终端收到第二终端的RRC建立请求后,会为第二终端分配上述标识,并在位于第一终端的RLC层上的适配层的头中增加该标识,随后与第二终端的RRC连接请求一起发送给无线接入网设备。In a scenario of the embodiment of the present invention, there may be multiple second terminals accessing the wireless access network device through the first terminal. In order to enable the first terminal to distinguish between different second terminals, the first terminal is connected to the wireless access network. When the device sends the RRC connection request of the second terminal, it needs to carry the identification (identify, ID) allocated by the first terminal to the second terminal, which is used to identify which second terminal is in the communication process between the first terminal and the wireless access network device . In this embodiment, the identifier may be an index (index). Specifically, after the first terminal receives the RRC establishment request from the second terminal, it will allocate the above-mentioned identifier to the second terminal, and add the identifier to the header of the adaptation layer located on the RLC layer of the first terminal, and then compare it with the first terminal. The RRC connection request of the two terminals is sent to the radio access network device together.
可选的,当无线接入网设备接受了第二终端的接入,在步骤402之后,本方法还可以包括:Optionally, when the wireless access network device accepts the access of the second terminal, after step 402, the method may further include:
第一终端从无线接入网设备接收RRC建立消息;和,The first terminal receives the RRC establishment message from the radio access network device; and,
第一终端向第二终端发送上述RRC建立消息。The first terminal sends the foregoing RRC establishment message to the second terminal.
可选的,当无线接入网设备拒绝了第二终端的接入,在步骤402之后,本方法还可以包括:Optionally, when the wireless access network device rejects the access of the second terminal, after step 402, the method may further include:
第一终端从无线接入网设备接收RRC拒绝消息;The first terminal receives an RRC rejection message from the radio access network device;
第一终端向第二终端发送上述RRC拒绝消息;和The first terminal sends the above-mentioned RRC rejection message to the second terminal; and
第一终端进行与第二终端之间的连接释放。The first terminal releases the connection with the second terminal.
本实施例中,如果无线接入网设备拒绝了第二终端的接入,则第二终端不会发送RRC建立完成,而是触发与第一终端之间的单播连接释放流程。In this embodiment, if the radio access network device rejects the access of the second terminal, the second terminal will not send the completion of the RRC establishment, but will trigger the unicast connection release procedure with the first terminal.
示例性的,无线接入网设备还可以接收第二终端标识,从而将该第二终端标识和RRC建立请求关联,并作为该第二终端的上下文进行维护;或者将该第二终端标识和RRC拒绝请求关联。举例而言,无线接入网设备接收到第二终端的RRC建立请求后,确定是否允许该第二终端接入。如果允许,该无线接入网设备向第一终端发送第二终端的RRC建立消息,并且在无线接入网设备的适配层的头上携带该第二终端的终端标识。第一终端从无线接入网设备收到第二终端的终端标识和对应的RRC建立消息,通过该终端标识能够知道对应的是哪个第二终端,从而可以通过与该第二终端的单播连接向该第二终端发送该RRC建立消息。如果不允许,该无线接入网设备向第一终端发送第二终端的RRC拒绝消息,并且在无线接入网设备的适配层的头上携带该第二终端的终端标识。同理,第一终端从无线接入网设备收到第二终端的终端标识和对应的RRC拒绝消息,通过该终端标识能够知道对应的是哪个第二终端,从而可以通过与该第二终端的单播连接向第二终端发送RRC拒绝消息。Exemplarily, the radio access network device may also receive the second terminal identifier, so as to associate the second terminal identifier with the RRC establishment request, and maintain the second terminal identifier as the context of the second terminal; or the second terminal identifier and the RRC Reject the request for association. For example, after receiving the RRC establishment request of the second terminal, the radio access network device determines whether to allow the second terminal to access. If allowed, the radio access network device sends the RRC setup message of the second terminal to the first terminal, and carries the terminal identifier of the second terminal on the head of the adaptation layer of the radio access network device. The first terminal receives the terminal identification of the second terminal and the corresponding RRC setup message from the radio access network device, and can know which second terminal is corresponding to the terminal identification, so that the unicast connection with the second terminal can be used Send the RRC setup message to the second terminal. If not allowed, the radio access network device sends an RRC rejection message of the second terminal to the first terminal, and carries the terminal identifier of the second terminal on the head of the adaptation layer of the radio access network device. In the same way, the first terminal receives the terminal identification of the second terminal and the corresponding RRC rejection message from the radio access network device, and can know which second terminal is corresponding to the terminal identification, so that it can communicate with the second terminal. The unicast connection sends an RRC reject message to the second terminal.
可选的,当无线接入网设备接受了第二终端的接入,本方法还包括:Optionally, when the wireless access network device accepts the access of the second terminal, the method further includes:
第二终端向第一终端发送RRC建立完成消息;和,The second terminal sends an RRC establishment complete message to the first terminal; and,
第一终端将第二终端的RRC建立完成消息发给无线接入网设备。The first terminal sends the RRC establishment complete message of the second terminal to the radio access network device.
示例性的,第二终端收到无线接入网设备发送的RRC建立消息后,进一步恢复或完成RRC建立。所述恢复或完成RRC建立可以理解为向第一终端发送RRC建立完成或者RRC重建立完成或者RRC恢复完成。该恢复或完成RRC建立可以重用第二终端与第一终端之间的SL-SRB1进行传递。该SL-SRB1一般用于传递sidelink单播连接的RRC消息, 在本实施例中重用该SL-SRB1传递第二终端与无线接入网设备之间SRB1的信令。Exemplarily, after receiving the RRC establishment message sent by the radio access network device, the second terminal further resumes or completes the RRC establishment. The restoration or completion of the RRC establishment may be understood as sending to the first terminal the completion of the RRC establishment or the completion of the RRC re-establishment or the completion of the RRC restoration. The restoration or completion of the RRC establishment can reuse the SL-SRB1 between the second terminal and the first terminal for transmission. The SL-SRB1 is generally used to transmit the RRC message of the sidelink unicast connection. In this embodiment, the SL-SRB1 is reused to transmit the SRB1 signaling between the second terminal and the radio access network device.
因本申请实施例的目的是实现第二终端与无线接入网设备间的RRC连接,所以第二终端向第一终端发送的RRC消息是需要发送给无线接入网设备的。为了使第一终端发送RRC消息,可以增加指示信息用于指示第一终端向无线接入网设备发送RRC消息,以便第一终端根据该指示信息确定从第二终端接收到的数据是发往无线接入网设备的数据,进而向无线接入网设备发送RRC消息。举例而言,在第一终端和第二终端SL RLC的头上增加指示信息。该指示信息用于第一终端识别通过该SL-SRB1发送的是单播连接的信令还是用于第二终端与无线接入网设备之间进行通信的信令。相应的,第一终端收到该指示信息后,当确定这是第二终端发给无线接入网设备的RRC信令,则会进一步转发给无线接入网设备。Since the purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to realize the RRC connection between the second terminal and the radio access network device, the RRC message sent by the second terminal to the first terminal needs to be sent to the radio access network device. In order for the first terminal to send the RRC message, indication information can be added to instruct the first terminal to send the RRC message to the radio access network device, so that the first terminal can determine according to the indication information that the data received from the second terminal is sent to the wireless The data of the access network equipment is then sent to the radio access network equipment RRC message. For example, the indication information is added to the headers of the first terminal and the second terminal SL and RLC. The indication information is used by the first terminal to identify whether the signaling for unicast connection or the signaling used for communication between the second terminal and the radio access network device is sent through the SL-SRB1. Correspondingly, after the first terminal receives the indication information, when it is determined that this is the RRC signaling sent by the second terminal to the radio access network device, it will be further forwarded to the radio access network device.
一种可能的设计中,该指示信息可以包括在RLC PDU,即指示信息在数据经过RLC层处理时包括在该数据中,例如包括在RLC包头中。示例性的,该指示信息可以为二进制比特数0、1或其他符号。具体的,采用哪种符号来表示该指示信息可以由协议预先规定,本申请实施例对此不进行限定。例如,以比特数“1”来指示第一终端向无线接入网设备发送RRC消息为例,第二终端可以在数据经过PDCP处理时,将比特数“1”包括在该数据的数据包头中,并经过后续处理发送给第一终端。In a possible design, the indication information may be included in the RLC PDU, that is, the indication information is included in the data when the data is processed by the RLC layer, for example, included in the RLC packet header. Exemplarily, the indication information may be a binary bit number of 0, 1, or other symbols. Specifically, which symbol is used to represent the indication information may be pre-defined by the agreement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, taking the bit number "1" to instruct the first terminal to send an RRC message to the radio access network device as an example, the second terminal may include the bit number "1" in the data packet header when the data is processed by PDCP , And send it to the first terminal after subsequent processing.
又一种可能的设计中,协议规定某个逻辑信道(如:第一逻辑信道)上传输的第一数据为发送给无线接入网设备的数据或RRC消息。此时,上述指示可以为第一逻辑信道的标识,且指示包括在第一数据中。如,在第一数据经过MAC层处理时,将第一逻辑信道的标识包括在数据包头中。示例性的,协议规定可以指事先约定的、需要第一终端和第二终端共同遵守的规则。例如,协议规定LCID0上传输的数据为发送给无线接入网设备的数据或RRC消息,则第二终端可以将包括LCID0、第一RRC消息的第一数据通过LCID0发送给第一终端。第一终端接收到第一数据后,可以根据第一数据中的LCID0确定向无线接入网设备发送RRC消息。In another possible design, the protocol specifies that the first data transmitted on a certain logical channel (such as the first logical channel) is data or an RRC message sent to the radio access network device. At this time, the above indication may be the identifier of the first logical channel, and the indication is included in the first data. For example, when the first data is processed by the MAC layer, the identifier of the first logical channel is included in the data packet header. Exemplarily, the protocol provisions may refer to rules agreed in advance that need to be complied by the first terminal and the second terminal. For example, if the protocol stipulates that the data transmitted on LCID0 is data or RRC message sent to the radio access network device, the second terminal may send the first data including LCID0 and the first RRC message to the first terminal through LCID0. After receiving the first data, the first terminal may determine to send an RRC message to the radio access network device according to LCID0 in the first data.
可选的,本方法还包括:Optionally, this method also includes:
第一终端向无线接入网设备发送RLC PDU,该RLC PDU具有指示信息,用于指示第一终端是否具有适配层。例如,该RLC PDU具有RLC PDU头,该RLC PDU头具有上述指示信息。The first terminal sends an RLC PDU to the radio access network device, where the RLC PDU has indication information for indicating whether the first terminal has an adaptation layer. For example, the RLC PDU has an RLC PDU header, and the RLC PDU header has the above-mentioned indication information.
示例性的,RRC建立完成消息是由SRB1承载的消息。在本实施例中,重用第一终端的SRB1发送第二终端的由SRB1承载的消息。当第一终端连接多个第二终端时,为了区分第二终端,在第一终端向无线接入网设备发送RRC建立完成时,需要在第一终端的RLC的头上增加指示信息,用于指示在上述RLC之上存在适配层,以便无线接入网设备根据指示确定将接收的数据交由适配层进行处理。该适配层可以携带第二终端的终端标识,从而无线接入网设备在收到该指示信息后能够知道是哪个第二终端的RRC消息。Exemplarily, the RRC establishment complete message is a message carried by SRB1. In this embodiment, the SRB1 of the first terminal is reused to send the message carried by the SRB1 of the second terminal. When the first terminal is connected to multiple second terminals, in order to distinguish the second terminals, when the first terminal sends the RRC establishment to the radio access network device, the indication information needs to be added to the RLC header of the first terminal for It is indicated that there is an adaptation layer above the RLC, so that the radio access network device determines to hand over the received data to the adaptation layer for processing according to the indication. The adaptation layer may carry the terminal identifier of the second terminal, so that the radio access network device can know which second terminal's RRC message is after receiving the indication information.
进一步的,如图5所示,无线接入网设备可以通过第一终端为第二终端进行RRC配置,同样可以重用无线接入网设备与第一终端之间的SRB1,和/或,第二终端与第一终端之间的SL-SRB1。同理,第二终端与无线接入网设备之间的SRB2可以重用第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的SRB2。此时,同样也需要适配层,和,位于无线接入网设备的RLC头上的指示信息,用于指示在该RLC之上存在适配层。本领域的技术人员可以理解,就无线接入网设备而言,该适配层可以为PDCP层和RLC层之间,其协议栈自上而下依次为 RRC层,PDCP层,适配层,RLC层,MAC层和PHY层。就第一终端而言,其协议栈自上而下依次为适配层,RLC层,MAC层和PHY层。示例性的,无线接入网设备的适配层与第一终端的适配层(即具有对等关系),第一终端的适配层例如负责解封装数据以获取上述指示信息。Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the radio access network device can perform RRC configuration for the second terminal through the first terminal, and can also reuse the SRB1 between the radio access network device and the first terminal, and/or the second terminal SL-SRB1 between the terminal and the first terminal. In the same way, the SRB2 between the second terminal and the radio access network device can reuse the SRB2 between the first terminal and the radio access network device. At this time, the adaptation layer is also required, and the indication information on the RLC header of the radio access network device is used to indicate that there is an adaptation layer above the RLC. Those skilled in the art can understand that as far as radio access network equipment is concerned, the adaptation layer can be between the PDCP layer and the RLC layer, and the protocol stack is RRC layer, PDCP layer, and adaptation layer from top to bottom. RLC layer, MAC layer and PHY layer. As far as the first terminal is concerned, its protocol stack consists of an adaptation layer, an RLC layer, a MAC layer and a PHY layer from top to bottom. Exemplarily, the adaptation layer of the radio access network device and the adaptation layer of the first terminal (that is, have a peer-to-peer relationship), and the adaptation layer of the first terminal is responsible for decapsulating data to obtain the foregoing indication information, for example.
可选的,本实施例的方法还包括:Optionally, the method of this embodiment further includes:
第一终端从无线接入网设备接收第二SRB和\或数据无线承载DRB对应的逻辑信道信息,该第二SRB用于第二终端的第二RRC消息,该第二SRB位于专用控制信道或该第二RRC消息包括第二终端的专用配置或者非接入层NAS消息。The first terminal receives the logical channel information corresponding to the second SRB and/or the data radio bearer DRB from the radio access network device. The second SRB is used for the second RRC message of the second terminal, and the second SRB is located in the dedicated control channel or The second RRC message includes a dedicated configuration of the second terminal or a non-access stratum NAS message.
示例性的,第二终端的SRB和/或DRB需要重用第一终端的SRB和/或DRB,为了区分不同的第二终端,一种实现方式是引入适配层。另一种实现方式为,通过为不同的第二终端的SRB和/或DRB使用不同的逻辑信道来进行区分。或者,通过为不同的第二终端使用不同的逻辑信道来进行区分。具体而言,无线接入网设备为第一终端配置第二终端的SRB1对应的逻辑信道标识,该逻辑信道标识为第一终端与无线接入设备之间传输第二终端的SRB1RRC消息时使用的逻辑信道标识。可选的,无线接入网设备还可以配置该逻辑信道的优先级、所属的逻辑信道组、RLC实体中的一个或多个。上述配置动作可以发生在无线接入设备向第一终端发送RRC建立请求之后,或无线接入设备接收第一终端发送的RRC建立完成消息之前,本发明不做限定。Exemplarily, the SRB and/or DRB of the second terminal need to reuse the SRB and/or DRB of the first terminal. In order to distinguish different second terminals, one implementation manner is to introduce an adaptation layer. Another implementation manner is to distinguish by using different logical channels for the SRB and/or DRB of different second terminals. Or, it is distinguished by using different logical channels for different second terminals. Specifically, the wireless access network device configures the first terminal with a logical channel identifier corresponding to the SRB1 of the second terminal, and the logical channel identifier is used when transmitting the SRB1RRC message of the second terminal between the first terminal and the wireless access device. Logical channel identifier. Optionally, the radio access network device may also configure one or more of the priority of the logical channel, the logical channel group to which it belongs, and the RLC entity. The above configuration action may occur after the wireless access device sends the RRC establishment request to the first terminal, or before the wireless access device receives the RRC establishment complete message sent by the first terminal, which is not limited in the present invention.
随后,第一终端在向无线接入网设备发送第二终端的SRB1RRC消息时,可以通过上述逻辑信道进行发送。对应的,第一终端从无线接入网设备接收该逻辑信道对应的信令为第二终端的由SRB1承载的信令。进一步的,无线接入设备为第一终端配置第二终端的SRB2及每个DRB对应的逻辑信道标识。Subsequently, when the first terminal sends the SRB1 RRC message of the second terminal to the radio access network device, it may send it through the foregoing logical channel. Correspondingly, the signaling corresponding to the logical channel received by the first terminal from the wireless access network device is the signaling carried by the SRB1 of the second terminal. Further, the wireless access device configures the SRB2 of the second terminal and the logical channel identifier corresponding to each DRB for the first terminal.
一种可能的设计中,第一终端通过第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的数据无线承载(data radion barrier,DRB)向无线接入网设备发送数据。例如,第一终端可以将数据经过第一终端中与无线接入网设备对应的RLC层、MAC层、PHY层的处理,即通过第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的数据无线承载(data radion barrier,DRB)向无线接入网设备发送数据。示例性的,第一终端中与无线接入网设备对应的RLC层、MAC层、PHY层可以如图2所示,为第一终端中与无线接入网设备的PHY层、MAC层、RLC层端对端连接的PHY层2、MAC层2、RLC层2。In a possible design, the first terminal sends data to the radio access network device through a data radio barrier (DRB) between the first terminal and the radio access network device. For example, the first terminal can process the data through the RLC layer, MAC layer, and PHY layer corresponding to the radio access network device in the first terminal, that is, through the data radio bearer between the first terminal and the radio access network device ( data radio barrier, DRB) sends data to the radio access network device. Exemplarily, the RLC layer, MAC layer, and PHY layer corresponding to the radio access network device in the first terminal may be as shown in FIG. 2, which are the PHY layer, MAC layer, and RLC layer of the radio access network device in the first terminal. PHY layer 2, MAC layer 2, and RLC layer 2 connected end-to-end.
又一种可能的设计中,第一终端将信令经过第一终端中与无线接入网设备对应的RLC层、MAC层、PHY层的处理,即通过第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的信令无线承载(signal radio barrier,SRB)1向无线接入网设备发送信令。In another possible design, the first terminal passes the signaling through the RLC layer, MAC layer, and PHY layer corresponding to the radio access network device in the first terminal, that is, through the first terminal and the radio access network device. The inter-signaling radio barrier (SRB) 1 sends signaling to the radio access network device.
在本实施例中,第二终端重用第一终端的SRB与无线接入网设备进行RRC信令交互,能够帮助小区边缘或者小区覆盖范围外的第二终端成功接入无线接入网设备,从而获取无线接入网设备配置并进行通信。In this embodiment, the second terminal reuses the SRB of the first terminal to perform RRC signaling interaction with the radio access network equipment, which can help the second terminal at the edge of the cell or outside the cell coverage to successfully access the radio access network equipment, thereby Obtain the wireless access network device configuration and communicate.
图4以第一终端与无线接入网设备之间通过SRB0传输RRC建立请求为例进行了介绍,当第一终端与无线接入网设备之间通过SRB1传输RRC建立请求时,则如图6所示,可以包括如下步骤。Figure 4 uses the transmission of the RRC establishment request between the first terminal and the radio access network device through SRB0 as an example. When the first terminal and the radio access network device transmits the RRC establishment request through SRB1, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the following steps can be included.
601、第一终端从第二终端接收所述第二终端的RRC建立请求。601. The first terminal receives an RRC establishment request of the second terminal from the second terminal.
602、第一终端向无线接入网设备发送第一RRC消息,该第一RRC消息包括上述RRC建立请求。602. The first terminal sends a first RRC message to the radio access network device, where the first RRC message includes the foregoing RRC establishment request.
本实施例中出现的与上文相同或类似术语及其功能性描述,可以参考前文描述,此处不再赘述。For terms that are the same or similar to the above and their functional descriptions appearing in this embodiment, reference may be made to the foregoing descriptions, which are not repeated here.
上述步骤主要基于第一终端进行描述,可以理解,就网络而言,无线接入网设备从第一终端接收第一RRC消息,第一RRC消息包括第二终端的RRC建立请求。就第二终端而言,第二终端向第一终端发送第二终端的RRC建立请求,用于第一终端向无线接入网设备发送第一RRC消息,该第一RRC消息包括上述RRC建立请求。The above steps are mainly described based on the first terminal. It can be understood that, as far as the network is concerned, the radio access network device receives the first RRC message from the first terminal, and the first RRC message includes the RRC establishment request of the second terminal. As far as the second terminal is concerned, the second terminal sends the RRC establishment request of the second terminal to the first terminal, for the first terminal to send a first RRC message to the radio access network device, the first RRC message includes the above-mentioned RRC establishment request .
示例性的,如图7所示,第二终端将RRC建立请求打包在SL RRC消息中传递给第一终端,随后第一终端将收到的第二终端的RRC建立请求打包在自己生成的RRC消息中传递给无线接入网设备。具体而言,第二终端可以通过SL RRC消息向第一终端发送RRC建立请求。可以理解,第二终端将RRC建立请求作为容器(container)携带在SL RRC消息中发给第一终端。上述RRC建立请求例如基于第二终端与无线接入网设备之间的无线通信接口传输,该无线通信接口(例如称为Uu口)可以为LTE制式的空口或者NR制式的空口。Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 7, the second terminal packs the RRC establishment request in an SL RRC message and transmits it to the first terminal, and then the first terminal packs the received RRC establishment request of the second terminal into the RRC generated by itself. The message is passed to the wireless access network device. Specifically, the second terminal may send an RRC establishment request to the first terminal through an SL RRC message. It can be understood that the second terminal carries the RRC establishment request as a container in the SL RRC message and sends it to the first terminal. The foregoing RRC establishment request is, for example, transmitted based on a wireless communication interface between the second terminal and the radio access network device. The wireless communication interface (for example, referred to as a Uu port) may be an LTE standard air interface or an NR standard air interface.
示例性的,上述第一RRC消息进一步可以包括第二终端的标识。一种可能的应用场景下,第一终端需要为多个第二终端提供服务,因此第一终端会为每个第二终端各自分配终端标识,并且将该终端标识和从该终端标识对应的第二终端收到的RRC建立请求发给无线接入网设备。本实施例中,第一终端可以将第二终端的标识和第二终端的RRC建立请求打包在第一终端自身的RRC消息中发给无线接入网设备。例如,该第二终端的标识和对应的RRC建立请求是该第一终端的RRC消息中的信元,并且该第一终端的RRC消息为上行RRC消息。Exemplarily, the foregoing first RRC message may further include the identity of the second terminal. In a possible application scenario, the first terminal needs to provide services for multiple second terminals. Therefore, the first terminal will assign a terminal identifier to each second terminal, and the terminal identifier and the second terminal corresponding to the terminal identifier Second, the RRC establishment request received by the terminal is sent to the radio access network device. In this embodiment, the first terminal may package the identifier of the second terminal and the RRC establishment request of the second terminal in an RRC message of the first terminal and send it to the radio access network device. For example, the identifier of the second terminal and the corresponding RRC establishment request are information elements in the RRC message of the first terminal, and the RRC message of the first terminal is an uplink RRC message.
本实施例中,若无线接入网设备同意第二终端的接入,上述方法还可以包括:In this embodiment, if the wireless access network device agrees to the access of the second terminal, the above method may further include:

When multiple second terminals are connected to the first terminal, it is used to identify which second terminal is associated with the RRC establishment message.
示例性的,第一终端向第二终端发送sidelink RRC消息,该sidelink RRC消息包括上述RRC建立消息。Exemplarily, the first terminal sends a sidelink RRC message to the second terminal, and the sidelink RRC message includes the foregoing RRC establishment message.
具体而言,无线接入网设备接收到第一终端发送的第二终端的终端标识和RRC建立请求后,如果同意该第二终端接入,则会为该第二终端生成RRC建立消息并发送给第一终端。例如,无线接入网设备将第二终端的标识和其对应的RRC建立消息作为第一终端的下行RRC消息中的信元发给第一终端。第一终端收到无线接入网设备发送的第二终端的标识就能够识别该RRC建立消息关联到哪个第二终端,并通过与该第二终端的SL-SRB将无线接入网设备为第二终端生成的RRC建立消息发给该第二终端。Specifically, after the radio access network device receives the terminal identification of the second terminal and the RRC establishment request sent by the first terminal, if the second terminal is allowed to access, it will generate an RRC establishment message for the second terminal and send it To the first terminal. For example, the radio access network device sends the identifier of the second terminal and its corresponding RRC setup message as information elements in the downlink RRC message of the first terminal to the first terminal. When the first terminal receives the identification of the second terminal sent by the radio access network device, it can identify which second terminal the RRC establishment message is associated with, and use the SL-SRB with the second terminal to identify the radio access network device as the first terminal. The RRC setup message generated by the second terminal is sent to the second terminal.

When multiple second terminals are connected to the first terminal, it is used to identify which second terminal the RRC reject message is associated with.
示例性的,如果无线接入网设备不同意该第二终端接入,则会为该第二终端生成RRC拒绝消息并发送给第一终端。具体而言,无线接入网设备需要将第二终端的标识和该RRC拒绝消息作为第一终端的下行RRC消息的信元发给第一终端。可选的,如果无线接入网设备拒绝了第二终端的接入,则第一终端会将RRC拒绝消息发给第二终端。Exemplarily, if the radio access network device does not approve the access of the second terminal, it will generate an RRC rejection message for the second terminal and send it to the first terminal. Specifically, the radio access network device needs to send the identity of the second terminal and the RRC rejection message as information elements of the downlink RRC message of the first terminal to the first terminal. Optionally, if the radio access network device rejects the access of the second terminal, the first terminal will send an RRC reject message to the second terminal.
示例性的,第一终端向第二终端发送sidelink RRC消息,该sidelink RRC消息包括上述RRC拒绝消息。Exemplarily, the first terminal sends a sidelink RRC message to the second terminal, and the sidelink RRC message includes the foregoing RRC rejection message.
本领域的技术人员可以理解,上述第一终端向第二终端发送的sidelink RRC消息和上述第二终端向第一终端发送的sidelink RRC消息的格式可以相同或者为公共的RRC消息,或者可以包含不同信元或信息。Those skilled in the art can understand that the format of the sidelink RRC message sent by the first terminal to the second terminal and the sidelink RRC message sent by the second terminal to the first terminal may be the same or a common RRC message, or may contain different formats. Information element or information.

The second SRB is used for the fourth RRC message of the second terminal, and the second SRB is located on the dedicated control channel or the first Fourth, the RRC message includes the dedicated configuration or non-access stratum NAS message of the second terminal.
示例性的,第二终端通过第一终端与无线接入网设备之间进行SRB1、SRB2信令交互时,重用的是第二终端与第一终端之间的SL-SRB1、SL-SRB2,以及第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的SRB1、SRB2。具体重用方式与前文相似,不再赘述。其中,SL-SRB1是用于第二终端与第一终端之间传递SL RRC消息的SRB,SL-SRB2是用于第二终端与第一终端之间传递上层信令的SRB。Exemplarily, when the second terminal performs SRB1 and SRB2 signaling interaction between the first terminal and the radio access network device, it reuses the SL-SRB1 and SL-SRB2 between the second terminal and the first terminal, and SRB1 and SRB2 between the first terminal and the radio access network device. The specific reuse method is similar to the previous article, so I won't repeat it. Wherein, SL-SRB1 is an SRB used to transfer SL RRC messages between the second terminal and the first terminal, and SL-SRB2 is an SRB used to transfer upper layer signaling between the second terminal and the first terminal.
如果无线接入网设备拒绝了第二终端的接入请求,则不执行上述SRB1和/或SRB2的信令交互,第二终端会释放与第一终端之间的单播连接。If the radio access network device rejects the access request of the second terminal, the above-mentioned SRB1 and/or SRB2 signaling interaction is not performed, and the second terminal will release the unicast connection with the first terminal.
示例性的,当第一终端连接多个第二终端时,第一终端或无线接入网设备均可以第二终端分配终端标识。可选的,当无线接入网设备为第二终端分配终端标识时,会携带在无线接入网设备向第一终端发送的RRC建立消息中。此时,为了让第一终端知道该RRC建立消息和第一终端向无线接入网设备发送的RRC建立请求的对应关系,可以限定在RRC建立消息中,携带与RRC建立请求相同的标识信息,例如事务标识(transaction ID)。Exemplarily, when the first terminal is connected to multiple second terminals, both the first terminal or the wireless access network device may assign the terminal identifier to the second terminal. Optionally, when the radio access network device allocates a terminal identifier to the second terminal, it will be carried in the RRC setup message sent by the radio access network device to the first terminal. At this time, in order to let the first terminal know the correspondence between the RRC establishment message and the RRC establishment request sent by the first terminal to the radio access network device, the RRC establishment message may be limited to carry the same identification information as the RRC establishment request. For example, transaction ID.
在本实施例中,使用第一终端与无线接入网设备之间的SRB1传输RRC建立请求。进一步的,使用第二终端与第一终端之间的SL-SRB1传输RRC建立消息和/或RRC拒绝消息。从而避免针对SRB0的改动,并提升了安全性能。In this embodiment, the SRB1 between the first terminal and the radio access network device is used to transmit the RRC establishment request. Further, the SL-SRB1 between the second terminal and the first terminal is used to transmit the RRC establishment message and/or the RRC rejection message. Thereby avoiding changes to SRB0 and improving safety performance.
