Description

通信方法和装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种通信方法和装置。
背景技术
随着移动通信的高速发展，新业务类型，如视频聊天、虚拟现实(virtual reality，简称VR)/增强现实(augmented reality，简称AR)等数据业务的普遍使用提高了用户对带宽的需求。设备到设备(Device-to-Device，简称D2D)通信允许终端之间直接进行通信，可以在小区网络的控制下与小区用户共享频谱资源，有效的提高频谱资源的利用率。目前，D2D通信已经应用于4G网络系统中。D2D通信包括一对多通信(One to many communication)以及一对一通信(One to one communication)。在一对一通信中，若发送方设备与接收方设备在近距离范围内，通过相互发现后可以直接通信；若发送方设备与接收方设备没有处在近距离范围内，不能相互发现对方，无法直接进行D2D通信，此时可以引入中继设备(Relay)进行辅助，通过发送方设备与中继设备间通信和中继设备与接收方设备通信进而实现发送方设备与接收方设备之间通信。
目前，能够直接进行通信的两个终端之间可能会存在多条通信链路，这些通信链路包括用于两个终端之间直接通信的通信链路，还包括用于中继传输的非直接通信的通信链路。两个终端中的任意一个终端需要分别维护该多条通信链路的连通性，使得链路连通性维护开销大。

具体实施方式
为了更好的理解本申请，本申请中引入如下的要素。
1、本申请实施例涉及的单播链路的信息可用于保存单播链路(unicast link)的上下文，具体形式不限定，本申请实施例中以单播链路的信息为单播链路概述为例进行介绍。其中，单播链路还可称为单播链接或单播连接。
2、单播链路概述(或者称为单播链路的概述)：用于描述两个终端之间的单播链路。
若两个终端包括终端1和终端2，两个终端中的终端1中存储的描述该单播链路的概述的形式如下：
终端1的应用层标识，终端1的数据链路层标识；
终端2的应用层标识，终端2的数据链路层标识。
其中，终端1的应用层标识和终端1的数据链路层标识为发送方信息，终端2的应用层标识和终端2的数据链路层标识为接收方信息。终端1中存储的描述该单播链路的概述可称为终端1对应的描述该单播链路的概述。
两个终端中的终端2中存储的描述该单播链路的概述的形式如下：
终端2的应用层标识，终端2的数据链路层标识；
终端1的应用层标识，终端1的数据链路层标识。
其中，终端2的应用层标识和终端2的数据链路层标识为发送方信息，终端1的应用层标识和终端1的数据链路层标识为接收方信息。终端2中存储的描述该单播链路的概述可称为终端2对应的描述该单播链路的概述。
在终端1对应的描述该单播链路的概述和终端2对应的描述该单播链路的概述均生成后，终端1和终端2之间的单播链路建立完成。
图1为本申请实施例涉及的系统架构图，参见图1，该系统架构包括：第一终端、中继终端和第二终端，中继终端用于第二终端和第一终端之间的通信。
在第一终端需要与第二终端进行通信，第一终端确定不能直接发现第二终端时，第一终端可通过中继发现流程确定中继终端，以通过中继终端与第二终端之间进行通信。同样地，在第二终端需要与第一终端进行通信，第二终端确定不能直接发现第一终端时，第二终端可通过中继发现流程确定中继终端，以通过中继终端与第一终端之间进行通信。
其中，本实施例的终端可以为用户设备(user equipment，简称UE)、手持终端、笔记本电脑、蜂窝电话、智能电话、平板型电脑、手持设备、AR设备、VR设备、机器类型通信终端或是其他可以接入网络的设备。
在阐述本申请之前，先结合图2对目前的中继链路建立过程进行说明。
(1)终端a需要与终端b进行通信，但终端a不能直接发现终端b，即终端a与终端b不在近距离通信范围内，不能直接通信。为了找到一个中继终端用于终端a与终端b间通信，终端a广播中继请求消息，中继请求消息中包括终端a的应用层标识(终端a的ID)和终端b的应用层标识。
(2)当终端a附近的终端(比如终端c、终端d和终端e)接收到中继请求消息后，基于本地信息确定是否可以作为终端a和终端b间通信的中继终端；其中，本地信息包括但不限于如下的至少一项信息：有无中继能力、与终端b的近距离关系、当前处理负载、与终端b间信号强度信息。如果终端c、终端d确定能够作为终端a和终端b间通信的中继终端，终端c向终端a发送一个响应消息，该响应消息中包括终端c的应用层标识，终端d向终端a发送一个响应消息，该响应消息中包括终端d的应用层标识。
其中，如果终端a附近的终端中没有与终端b的距离关系信息，该终端可以发起近距离发现流程(ProSe discovery)确定与终端b是否在近距离范围内，或者周期性发起近距离发现流程获取周围终端的信息。
(3)终端a选择回复响应消息的终端(终端c和终端d)中的一个作为中继终端。若终端c被选择作为中继终端，终端a发送中继路径建立请求消息至终端c，中继路径建立请求消息中包括终端b的应用层标识、QoS信息和终端a的数据链路层地址(数据链路层地址还可以称为二层地址(Layer 2 ID)，比如可以是隧道端点标识(Tunnel Endpoint ID))。
(4)终端a与终端c之间进行鉴权和安全相关流程。
(5)终端c向终端b发送链路建立请求消息，链路建立请求消息中包括终端c的应用层标识、QoS和终端c的第一数据链路层地址。
(6)终端c与终端b之间进行鉴权和安全相关流程。
(7)终端b返回链路建立请求消息的响应消息至终端c，该响应消息中包括终端b是否接收链路建立请求的指示信息。如果终端b接收链路建立请求，该响应消息中还包括终端b的第一数据链路层地址。终端c的第一数据链路层地址和终端b的第一数据链路层地址唯一标识终端c和终端b之间的链路。
(8)终端c向终端a发送中继路径建立请求消息的响应消息，中继路径建立请求消息的响应消息中包括终端c与终端b之间的链路建立成功的指示以及终端c的第二数据链路层地址。终端c的第二数据链路层地址和终端a的第一数据链路层地址唯一标识终端c和终端a之间的链路。
在终端a与终端c间的链路和终端c与终端b间之间的链路都建立完成后，终端a能向终端b发送数据。
通过上述流程可知，在终端a、终端c、终端b之间建立通信链路的过程中，终端a和终端c分别被分配了一个数据链路层地址，该对数据链路层地址用于标识终端c作为终端a和终端b之间的中继终端时终端a、终端c之间的链路。若终端a和终端c之间需要直接通信，则终端a、终端c还分别被分配了另一个数据链路层地址，该对数据链路层地址用于标识终端a、终端c直接通信时终端a和终端c之间的链路。若终端a还需要与终端f之间通信，终端c也被选作中继终端，那么终端a和终端c还分别被分配了一个数据链路层地址，该对数据链路层地址用于标识终端c作为终端a和终端f之间的中继终端时终端a、终端c之间的链路。也就是说：终端a和终端c之间存在多条链路，终端a需要维护多条链路的连通性，链路开销较大。
为了解决上述技术问题，提出了本申请的通信方法。下面采用具体的实施例对本申请的通信方法进行说明。
图3为本申请实施例提供的通信方法的流程图一，参见图3，本实施例的方法包括：
步骤S301、中继终端向第一终端发送第一消息；中继终端为用于第一终端和第二终端之间进行通信的中继终端；第一消息包括第一指示信息、第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址；其中，第一指示信息能够用于指示第一终端和中继终端之间的第一单播链路。
对于本实施例中的第二终端的第一地址，第二终端的第一地址可以是但不限于如下的几种情况：
第一种情况：第二终端的第一地址包括第二终端的网络层地址。其中，第二终端的网络地址可以是第二终端分配后发送至中继终端的，还可以是中继终端分配的。
第二种情况：第二终端的第一地址包括第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。其中，第二终端的第一数据链路层地址可以是第二终端分配后发送至中继终端的，即第二终端的第一数据链路层地址为建立第二终端与中继终端的第二单播链路时第二终端分配的数据链路层地址。
第三种情况：第二终端的第一地址包括第二终端的第二数据链路层地址。第二终端的 第二数据链路层地址是中继终端分配的。
综上所述，第二终端的第一地址可以是由第二终端分配的，还可以是由中继终端分配的。在第一终端通过中继终端向第二终端发送数据时，可携带第二终端的第一地址，以标识数据的目的接收端为第二终端。
对于本实施例中的第一指示信息，第一指示信息包括第一单播链路的链路标识；或者，第一指示信息包括中继终端的应用层标识和第一终端的应用层标识；或者，第一指示信息包括中继终端的第一数据链路层地址和第一终端的第一数据链路层地址。
下面对该步骤进行详细说明。
一种方式中，在中继终端向第一终端发送第一消息之前，还可包括中继终端确认是否存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路。
其中，中继终端确认是否存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路的方法可为：中继终端确认其所存储的单播链路概述(unicast link profile)中是否存在发送方应用层标识为中继终端的应用层标识、接收方应用层标识为第一终端的应用层标识的单播链路概述，若是，则确认存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路，若否，则确认不存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路。可以理解的是，中继终端中存储的发送方应用层标识为中继终端的应用层标识、接收方应用层标识为第一终端的应用层标识的单播链路概述为中继终端对应的该第一单播链路的概述(为了阐述的简便，后续称中继终端对应的该第一单播链路的概述为第一单播链路的第三信息)。
其中，第一单播链路的第三信息可如下：
中继终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址；
第一终端的应用层标识，第一终端的第一数据链路层地址。
其中，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址和第一终端的第一数据链路层地址唯一标识第一单播链路，也就是说，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址与第一单播链路对应，第一终端的第一数据链路层与第一单播链路对应。
中继终端确认是否存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路的确认结果包括如下两种情况：情况1：中继终端确认存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路，情况2：中继终端确认不存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路。
下面基于情况1对该步骤进行说明。
若中继终端确认存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路，则第一终端存储有第一终端对应的第一单播链路的概述(为了阐述的简便，后续称第一终端对应的第一单播链路的概述为第一单播链路的第一信息)。
其中，第一单播链路的第一信息可如下：
第一终端的应用层标识，第一终端的第一数据链路层地址；
中继终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址。
此时，中继终端向第一终端发送的第一消息可包括第一指示信息、第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址，第一指示信息能够用于指示第一终端和中继终端之间的第一单播链路。第一消息指示第一终端增加第二终端作为第一单播链路的一个接收方，或者说，第一消息指示第一终端更新第一单播链路的第一信息得到第一单播链路的第二信息，第一单播链路的第二信息至少包括第一单播链路的第一信息、第二终端的应用层标识和第二终 端的第一地址。此时，第一消息也可称为链路修改请求消息。
其中，第一指示信息包括第一单播链路的链路标识；或者，第一指示信息包括中继终端的应用层标识和第一终端的应用层标识；或者，第一指示信息包括中继终端的第一数据链路层地址和第一终端的第一数据链路层地址。作为一种可选的实现方式，在中继终端建立中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路时，中继终端为第一单播链路分配链路标识(简称为第一链路标识)，并将该第一链路标识发送给第一终端；在第一终端建立第一终端与中继终端之间的第一单播链路时，第一终端为第一单播链路分配链路标识(简称为第二链路标识)，并将该第二链路标识发送给中继终端。因此，第一指示信息中包括的第一单播链路的链路标识可以包括：第一链路层标识或者第二链路标识；第一指示信息中包括的第一单播链路的链路标识还可以包括第一链路层标识和第二链路标识。其中，第一链路标识和第二链路标识可相同可不相同。
在该情况中，中继终端确认存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路，第一终端存储的第一单播链路的概述已包括中继终端的第一数据链路层地址。因此，第一消息中可以不包括中继终端的第一数据链路层地址。
下面基于情况2对该步骤进行说明。
若中继终端确认不存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路，则说明第一终端未存储有第一单播链路的第一信息。
在第一种方案中：第一消息可包括第一指示信息、中继终端的第一数据链路层地址、第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址。第一消息指示第一终端建立第一终端和中继终端的第一单播链路以及增加第二终端作为第一单播链路的一个接收方，或者说，第一消息指示生成第一单播链路的第一信息以及更新第一单播链路的第一信息得到第一单播链路的第二信息，第一单播链路的第二信息包括第一单播链路的第一信息和第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址。此时，第一消息也可称为链路建立和修改请求消息。
其中，第一指示信息包括中继终端的应用层标识和第一终端的应用层标识。
在该种方案中，由于中继终端确认不存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路，因此，第一消息中需携带中继终端的第一数据链路层地址，以指示第一终端需先建立第一单播链路。
在第二种方案中，在中继终端确认不存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路之后，中继终端向第一终端发送第一消息之前，进行第一单播链路的建立，具体包括步骤a1～a2：
a1、中继终端向第一终端发送第二消息，第二消息包括中继终端的应用层标识、中继终端的第一数据链路层地址。
第二消息用于指示第一终端建立第一终端与中继终端之间的第一单播链路，并生成上述的第一单播链路的第一信息。
a2、中继终端接收来自第一终端的第二消息的响应消息，第二消息的响应消息包括第一终端的第一数据链路层地址。
中继终端接收到来自第一终端的第二消息的响应消息后，中继终端生成上述第一单播链路的第三信息，第一单播链路建立完成。
该第二种方案中，第一消息包括的内容、第一消息指示的信息、第一指示信息具体可 参考上述基于情况1的步骤说明，此处不再赘述。
上述方式在中继终端向第一终端发送第一消息之前，由中继终端确认是否存在第一单播链路。在另一种方式中，在中继终端向第一终端发送第一消息之前，中继终端未确认是否存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路，此时，第一消息包括的内容、第一消息指示的信息、第一指示信息具体可参考上述基于情况2的步骤说明中的第一种方案，此处不再赘述。
步骤S302、第一终端根据第一消息，更新第一单播链路的第一信息，以获得更新的第一单播链路的第二信息，第一单播链路的第二信息包括第二终端的应用层标识和该第一地址。
本实施例中，第一消息中的第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址可称为第一消息中携带的第二终端的信息。
下面对第一终端根据第一消息，更新第一单播链路的第一信息，以获得更新的第一单播链路的第二信息的几种具体实现进行说明。
第一种具体实现：对应于中继终端确认存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路的情况1；或者对应于中继终端确认不存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路的情况2中的第二种方案：
第一终端接收到第一消息后，根据第一消息中的第一指示信息获取存储的第一单播链路的第一信息，至少添加第一消息中携带的第二终端的信息至第一单播链路的第一信息，获得第一单播链路的第二信息。
第二种具体实现：对应于中继终端确认不存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路的情况2中的第一种方案：
第一终端接收到第一消息后，根据第一消息中携带的中继终端的第一数据链路层地址，确定需要先建立第一终端和中继终端之间的第一单播链路，即需分配第一终端的第一数据链路层地址以建立第一终端和中继终端之间的第一单播链路。第一终端根据第一消息中携带的能够用于指示第一单播链路的第一指示信息(第一终端的应用层标识、中继终端的应用层标识)、中继终端的第一数据链路层地址以及第一终端分配的第一终端的第一数据链路层地址，生成第一单播链路的第一信息，以及至少添加第一消息中的第二终端的信息至第一单播链路的第一信息，获得第一单播链路的第二信息；或者，第一终端根据第一终端的应用层标识、中继终端的应用层标识、中继终端的第一数据链路层地址、第一终端分配的第一终端的第一数据链路层地址、第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址生成第一单播链路的第二信息。
第三种具体实现：对应于中继终端未确认是否存在中继终端与第一终端之间的第一单播链路的情况：在第一终端根据第一消息更新第一单播链路的第一信息，以获得更新的第一单播链路的第二信息之前，还包括：第一终端根据第一消息，确认第一终端与中继终端之间的第一单播链路是否已建立(即第一终端确定是否存储有发送方应用层标识为第一消息中的第一终端的应用层标识、接收方应用层标识为第一消息中的中继终端的应用层标识的单播链路概述(单播链路的第一信息))；若是，则第一终端至少添加第一消息中的第二终端的信息至第一单播链路的第一信息，获得第一单播链路的第二信息；若否，则第一终端分配第一终端的第一数据链路层地址；接着，第一终端根据第一消息中携带的第一终 端的应用层标识、中继终端的应用层标识、中继终端的第一数据链路层地址以及第一终端分配的第一终端的第一数据链路层地址，生成第一单播链路的第一信息，以及至少添加第一消息中的第二终端的信息至第一单播链路的第一信息，获得第一单播链路的第二信息；或者，第一终端根据第一终端的应用层标识、中继终端的应用层标识、中继终端的第一数据链路层地址、第一终端分配的第一终端的第一数据链路层地址、第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址生成第一单播链路的第二信息。
下面对第二终端的第一地址的几种情况所对应的第一单播链路的第二信息进行说明。
第一种情况：在第二终端的第一地址包括第二终端的网络层地址时，第一单播链路的第二信息可包括如下的信息：
第一终端的应用层标识，第一终端的第一数据链路层地址；
中继终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址；
第二终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址、第二终端的网络层地址。
其中，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址与中继终端的应用层标识关联，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址还与第二终端的应用层标识关联。
可以理解的是，该种情况中添加至第一单播链路的第一信息中的信息包括：第二终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址、第二终端的网络层地址。
第二种情况：在第二终端的第一地址包括第二终端的第一数据链路层地址时，第一单播链路的第二信息可包括如下的信息：
第一终端的应用层标识，第一终端的第一数据链路层地址；
中继终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址；
第二终端的应用层标识，第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。
其中，第二终端的第一数据链路层地址与第二终端的应用层标识关联。可以理解的是，该种情况中添加至第一单播链路的第一信息中的信息包括：第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。
第三种情况：在第二终端的第一地址包括第二终端的第二数据链路层地址时，第一单播链路的第二信息可包括如下的信息：
第一终端的应用层标识，第一终端的第一数据链路层地址；
中继终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第一数据链路层地址；
第二终端的应用层标识，第二终端的第二数据链路层地址。
其中，第二终端的第二数据链路层地址与第二终端的应用层标识关联。可以理解的是，该种情况中添加至第一单播链路的第一信息中的信息包括：第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第二数据链路层地址。
可选地，在得到第一单播链路的第二信息之后，第一终端还可向中继终端发送第一消息的响应消息；第一消息的响应消息指示第一单播链路的第二信息更新完成，即向中继终端指示第一终端已经获取到第一单播链路的第二信息。
在得到第一单播链路的第二信息之后，第一终端可根据第一单播链路的第二信息向中继终端发送第一数据，第一数据包括第二终端的第一地址，第二终端的第一地址用于指示第一数据的目的接收端为第二终端。
本实施例中在第二终端需要通过中继终端与第一终端通信，而第一终端与中继终端之 间已经建立有单播链路时，不再建立中继终端与第一终端之间新的单播链路(即不再生成新的中继终端与第一终端之间的单播链路的概述)，而是将第二终端的信息作为新的接收方信息添加至原有的单播链路概述中，减少了第一终端与中继终端之间需要维护(即通过PC5信令检测链路是否存活)的链路，减少了链路维护的开销。
本实施例中在第二终端需要通过中继终端与第一终端通信，而第一终端与中继终端之间不存在单播链路时，在建立第一终端与中继终端之间的单播链路时，不仅生成第一终端与中继终端之间的单播链路概述，还将第二终端的信息作为新的接收方信息添加至该单播链路概述中，得到更新的单播链路概述。这样无论是中继终端与第一终端之间直接通信，还是中继终端作为中继实现第二终端与第一终端的通信，均可根据该更新的单播链路概述实现，相当于中继终端和第一终端之间的各种通信目的均使用中继终端与第一终端之间建立的同一条单播链路进行通信，减少了第一终端与中继终端之间需要维护的链路，减少了链路维护的开销。
下面通过具体的实施例进行进一步说明。
首先结合图4对第二终端发起中继链路建立过程所对应的通信方法进行说明。
图4为本申请实施例提供的通信方法的流程图二，参见图4，本实施例的方法，包括：
步骤S401、第二终端确定与第一终端之间进行通信的中继终端。
本实施例适用的场景为第二终端需要与第一终端之间进行通信，第二终端确定不能直接发现第一终端后，第二终端通过中继发现流程确定该中继终端作为第一终端和第二终端之间进行通信的中继终端。其中，中继发现流程可参见如上所述的目前的中继链路建立过程中的(1)～(3)中终端设备a确定终端设备c作为中继终端的方法，此处不再赘述。
步骤S402、第二终端向中继终端发送中继路径请求消息。
其中，中继路径请求消息也可以称为中继通信请求消息或非直接通信请求消息。
一种可选的方式中，在第二终端向中继终端发送中继路径请求消息之前，还可包括如下的c1～c4：
c1、第二终端确认第二终端与中继终端之间的第二单播链路是否已经建立，若否，则第二终端向中继终端发送链路建立请求消息，链路建立请求消息中可包括：第二终端的第一数据链路层地址和第二终端的应用层标识。
c2、中继终端接收链路建立请求消息后，建立中继终端与第二终端之间的第二单播链路，即中继终端生成中继终端对应的第二单播链路的概述，中继终端对应的第二单播链路的概述后续称为第二单播链路的第三信息。其中，第二单播链路的第三信息包括如下的信息：
中继终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第二数据链路层地址；
第二终端的应用层标识，第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。
可以理解的是，中继终端的第二数据链路层地址和中继终端的第一数据链路层地址不相同。
c3、中继终端建立中继终端与第二终端之间的第二单播链路后，向第二终端发送链路建立请求消息的响应消息，链路建立请求消息的响应消息指示中继终端已建立与第二终端之间的第二单播链路，链路建立请求消息的响应消息中包括：中继终端的第二数据链路层地址。
c4、第二终端建立第二终端与中继终端之间的第二单播链路，即生成第二终端对应的第二单播链路的概述(后续称第二终端对应的第二单播链路的概述为第二单播链路的第一信息)。
第二单播链路的第一信息包括如下的信息：
第二终端的应用层标识，第二终端的第一数据链路层地址；
中继终端的应用层标识，中继终端的第二数据链路层地址。
通过c1～c4第二终端与中继终端之间的第二单播链路建立完成。
下面对中继路径请求消息进行说明。
若在第二终端向中继终端发送中继路径请求消息之前未确认第二终端与中继终端之间的第二单播链路是否已经建立，则中继路径请求消息中包括第一终端的应用层标识、第二终端的应用层标识、第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。
若在第二终端向中继终端发送中继路径请求消息之前确认了第二终端与中继终端之间的第二单播链路已经建立或者进行了如上的步骤c1～c4：则中继路径请求消息中可包括第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识；可选地，中继路径请求消息中还可包括第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。
步骤S403、中继终端向第一终端发送第一消息；第一消息包括第一指示信息、第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址。
中继终端接收中继路径请求消息，接着中继终端向第一终端发送第一消息。
其中，第一指示信息能够用于指示第一终端和中继终端之间的第一单播链路。第一消息具体可以是中继路径请求消息或者中继通信请求消息或者非直接通信请求消息或者链路建立和修改请求消息或者链路修改请求消息。
该步骤的具体实现参照图3所示的实施例中步骤S301中的阐述，此处不再赘述。
可选的，第二终端的第一地址为第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。作为一种可选的实现方式，中继终端根据第一消息确定第二单播链路并获取第二单播链路的第三信息；第三信息中与第二终端的应用层标识相关联的数据链路层地址可以作为第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。作为另一种可选的实现方式，中继终端通过接收S402的中继路径请求消息获知该消息中包括的第二终端的第一数据链路层地址。
可选的，第二终端的第一地址为第二终端的第二数据链路层地址。作为一种可选的实现方式，第二终端的第二数据链路层地址由中继终端分配。
可选的，第二终端的第一地址为第二终端的网络层地址。作为一种可选的实现方式，第二终端的网络层地址由第二终端分配。上述S402的中继路径请求消息中还可包括第二终端的网络层地址，中继终端通过接收该中继路径请求消息获知第二终端的网络层地址。作为另一种可选的实现方式，第二终端的网络层地址由中继终端分配。
步骤S404、第一终端根据第一消息，更新第一单播链路的第一信息，以获得更新的第一单播链路的第二信息。
第一终端接收第一消息，接着第一终端根据第一消息，更新第一单播链路的第一信息，以获得更新的第一单播链路的第二信息。
所述第二信息包括第二终端的应用层标识和第二终端的第一地址。
该步骤的具体实现参照图3所示的实施例中步骤S302中的阐述，此处不再赘述。
步骤S405、第一终端向中继终端发送第一消息的响应消息；第一消息的响应消息指示第一单播链路的第二信息更新完成。
在一种可选的方案中，第一消息的响应消息中可携带第一终端的网络层地址和/或第一终端的第一数据链路层地址。
步骤S406、中继终端向第二终端发送中继路径请求的响应消息；该中继路径请求的响应消息包括第一终端的第一地址。
中继终端接收第一消息的响应消息，接着中继终端向第二终端发送中继路径请求的响应消息。
中继终端接收到第一消息的响应消息之后，确定第一单播链路的第一信息已经被更新得到了第一单播链路的第二信息，接着，中继终端向第二终端发送中继路径请求的响应消息。
若在第二终端向中继终端发送中继路径请求消息之前未确认第二终端与中继终端之间的第二单播链路是否已经建立或者中继路径请求消息中携带了第二终端的第一数据链路层地址，则中继终端向第二终端发送中继路径请求的响应消息之前，还可包括：中继终端确认中继终端与第二终端之间的第二单播链路是否已经建立，若否，则中继终端建立中继终端与第二终端之间的第二单播链路，即中继终端生成上述的第二单播链路的第三信息，相应地，中继路径请求的响应消息中除了需要携带第一终端的第一地址，还需要携带中继终端的第二数据链路层地址；若是，则中继路径请求的响应消息中可不携带中继终端的第二数据链路层地址。
若中继终端接收到的中继路径请求消息中未携带第二终端的第一数据链路层地址，则中继终端可确定中继终端与第二终端之间的第二单播链路已经建立，中继路径请求的响应消息中可不携带中继终端的第二数据链路层地址。

第一目标终端建立新的单播链路后，可以建立该新的单播链路与上述其它单播链路之间的关联关系。
本实施例中由于两个终端之间的各单播链路建立了关联关系，终端仅需检查两个终端之间的各单播链路中的一个单播链路是否连通即可，因为若两个终端之间的各单播链路中的一个单播链路连通，则说明该两个终端之间可以正常通信，其它的单播链路也就是连通的。因此，本实施例的方法减少终端进行链路维护的开销，且简单易实现。
