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。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于长期演进(long term evolution,LTE) 架构,还可以应用于通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunications system,UMTS)陆地无线接入网(UMTS terrestrial radio access network,UTRAN)架构,或者全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communication,GSM)/增强型数据速率GSM演进(enhanced data rate for GSM evolution,EDGE)系统的无线接入网(GSM EDGE radio access network,GERAN)架构。在UTRAN架构或/GERAN架构中,MME的功能由服务通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service,GPRS)支持节点(serving GPRS support,SGSN)完成,SGW\PGW的功能由网关GPRS支持节点(gateway GPRS support node,GGSN)完成。本申请实施例的技术方案还可以应用于其他通信系统,例如公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)系统,甚至未来的第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统或5G之后的通信系统等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
本申请实施例涉及终端设备。终端设备可以为包含无线收发功能、且可以与网络设备配合为用户提供通讯服务的设备。具体地,终端设备可以指用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信装置、用户代理或用户装置。例如,终端设备可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、机器人、无人机、智能驾驶车辆、家用电器、车载设备、医疗设备、智慧物流设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络或5G之后的网络中的终端设备等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
本申请实施例中涉及的网络设备也可称为无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)设备。RAN设备与终端设备连接,用于接收终端设备的数据并发送给核心网设备。RAN设备在不同通信系统中对应不同的设备,例如,在2G系统中对应基站与基站控制器,在3G系统中对应基站与无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC),在4G系统中对应演进型基站(evolutional node B,eNB),在5G系统中对应5G系统,例如新无线接入系统(new radio access technology,NR)中的接入网设备(例如gNB,CU,DU)。或者,该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络或5G之后的网络中的网络侧设备或未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
本申请实施例还涉及核心网(core network,CN)设备。CN设备在不同的通信系统中对应不同的设备,例如,在3G系统中对应服务GPRS支持节点(serving GPRS support node,SGSN)或网关GPRS支持节点(gateway GPRS support node,GGSN),在4G系统中对应移动管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)或服务网关(serving gateway,S-GW),在5G系统中对应5G系统的核心网相关设备(例如NG-Core)。
为了便于理解本申请,首先在此介绍本申请的描述中涉及的概念:
连接(connected)态,终端设备与RAN设备之间建立了无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接,终端设备与核心网设备之间的连接也已建立,若有数据需要传输,可以直接通过已建立的连接完成。当终端设备处于连接态时,RAN设备保存终端设备的上下文信息,可以执行基于RAN设备控制的小区切换。
空闲(idle)态,终端设备与RAN设备之间没有RRC连接,且与核心网设备之间的连接未建立,若有数据需要传输,需要先建立与RAN设备以及核心网设备的连接。当终端设备处于空闲态时,RAN设备释放终端设备的上下文信息,终端设备可以执行基于小区的重选。
非激活(inactive)态,还可以称为轻连接(light connection)态、挂起(suspend)态、去激活态、低开销状态等。
在终端设备处于非激活态时,可以通过恢复(resume)消息恢复终端设备与RAN设备间的RRC连接,另外,还可以恢复终端设备与RAN设备间的用于传输数据的数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)。该终端设备的S1接口会锚定在一个RAN设备(可以称之为锚点RAN设备),然后可以执行小区重选移动性,在一个预定的区域(如,称之为“基于RAN的通知区”,或“无线接入网区”)内移动时不需要通知锚点RAN设备,而一旦出了基于RAN设备的通知区(RAN-based notification area,RNA),则需要向锚点RAN设备通知其位置,这个过程称为基于RAN的通知区更新。本申请实施例中提及的“非激活态”只是用于描述这种状态,而非任何限定。
在非激活态,终端设备可以执行基于小区的重选操作,同时,终端设备的连接信息保存在锚点RAN设备,终端设备的连接信息包括终端设备的上下文信息以及核心网连接。在终端设备处于非激活态时,终端设备保存一个锚点RAN设备配置的管理区域信息,终端设备移动出该管理区域信息对应的管理区域时需要通知锚点RAN设备。
上下文信息,RAN设备与终端设备建立RRC连接之后,RAN设备保存终端设备的上下文信息,RAN设备与终端设备基于上下文信息进行通信。
具体地,上下文信息包括终端设备的标识信息、终端设备的安全上下文信息、终端设备的签约信息、终端设备的无线承载的配置信息、逻辑信道信息以及网络切片信息(network slicing info)。
终端设备的标识,表示能够唯一标识终端设备的标识,可以是由RAN设备为终端设备分配的标识,也可以为核心网设备为该终端设备分配的标识。
图1为本申请实施例的通信系统的架构示意图。包括:终端设备101、网络设备102和核心网设备103。
终端设备101与网络设备102之间通过无线连接,网络设备102与网络设备102之间通过Xn接口连接,网络设备102与核心网设备103之间通过NG接口连接。
网络设备102也可以称为下一代无线接入网(next generation radio access network,NG-RAN),其中,NG-RAN包括gNB和下一代演进型基站(next generation evolutional node B,ng-eNB)。
ng-eNB可以与终端设备101直接通信,为终端设备101提供E-UTRA用户平面和控制平面连接。gNB可以与终端设备101间接通信(例如通过ng-eNB),为终端设备101提供NR用户平面和控制平面连接。
核心网设备103可以称为5G核心网(5GC),可以包括接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)设备,用于移动网络中的移动性管理,例如用户位置更新、用户注册网络、用户切换等。
终端设备101初始与网络设备102建立RRC连接后,终端设备101即进入连接态。 在连接态,网络设备102保存终端设备101的上下文信息,终端设备101基于RRC连接与网络设备102进行通信,例如通过网络设备102访问核心网设备103。
然后,终端设备101可以断开与网络设备102的RRC连接,或者,网络设备102可以断开与终端设备101的RRC连接,但网络设备102保留终端设备101的上下文信息,此时终端设备101进入非激活态。
基于上述通信系统架构,运营商可以为企业构建非公共网络(non-public network,NPN),并提供NPN服务。顾名思义,NPN是一种区别于公共网络的为特定用户提供服务的网络,在3GPP协议TS23.501的定义中,非公共网络有以下两种类型:
1)独立组网的NPN(Standalone NPN),该网络不依赖于PLMN网络,由SNPN运营商运营。
2)非独立组网的NPN(Public network integrated NPN),该网络依赖于PLMN网络,由传统运营商运营。
本申请实施例中,基于上述通信系统架构所建立的NPN属于非独立组网的NPN。
如前文所述的,为了支持NPN,可以通过切片的形式划分出CAG小区,其中,CAG小区供属于该NPN的终端设备(NPN-UE)接入系统,并提供NPN服务。其余的PLMN小区供不属于该NPN的终端设备(non-NPN-UE)接入系统,并提供PLMN服务。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,NPN服务也可以称为CAG服务,下面均以CAG服务来进行说明。
为了对终端设备通过CAG小区接入系统进行控制,可以对终端设备配置如下CAG信息:
1)允许CAG列表(allowed CAG list):包括终端设备允许接入的CAG小区的标识(CAG ID),CAG ID在PLMN ID内用于唯一标识CAG小区,每个PLMN可以有多个CAG ID,每个小区可以支持多个PLMN,所以小区广播时会广播支持的所有PLMN以及每个PLMN对应的CAG ID。
2)仅CAG指示信息(CAG-only indication)(可选的):是否仅允许终端设备通过CAG小区接入系统。
基于上述CAG信息,CAG小区、PLMN小区终端设备的接入限制如表1所示:
表1
Figure PCTCN2020074771-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2020074771-appb-000002
其中,仅CAG小区(CAG-only cell)也可以称为CAG小区,只能向终端设备提供CAG服务。仅PLMN小区(PLMN-only cell)也可以称为PLMN小区,只能向终端设备提供PLMN服务。CAG和PLMN小区(CAG+PLMN cell),可以向终端设备提供CAG服务和PLMN服务。
仅CAG终端设备(CAG-only UE),指允许CAG列表(allowed CAG list)非空,并且配置了仅CAG指示信息(CAG-only indication)的终端设备。仅PLMN终端设备(PLMN-only UE),指允许CAG列表为空或者没有配置允许CAG列表,没有配置仅CAG指示信息的终端设备。CAG和PLMN终端设备(CAG+PLMN UE),指允许CAG列表非空,没有配置仅CAG指示信息的终端设备。
对于CAG和PLMN终端设备来说,如果终端设备配置了仅CAG指示信息,则终端设备只能通过CAG小区接入系统,不可以通过PLMN小区接入系统。如果终端设备没有配置仅CAG指示信息,并且允许CAG列表非空,则终端设备既可以通过CAG小区接入系统,也可以通过PLMN小区接入系统。
如前文所述的,对于同时支持通过CAG小区接入系统或者通过PLMN小区接入系统的终端设备来说,如果能够被CAG小区和PLMN小区同时覆盖,则终端设备的接入将不受限制,例如,终端设备既可以通过CAG小区接入系统也可以通过PLMN小区接入系统,这会影响NPN服务的安全性。
本申请实施例提供的指示信息发送方法,第一网络设备可以从核心网设备、第二网络设备、终端设备接收第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示是否需要为该终端设备配置第二指示信息。第一网络设备响应于第一指示信息,向终端设备发送第二指示信息。第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入系统,或者,仅通过PLMN小区接入系统。以此解决上述问题。
图2为本申请实施例提供的一种指示信息发送方法的流程示意图。图2中描述的终端设备、网络设备(第一网络设备和第二网络设备)、核心网设备可以分别对应于图1中所示的终端设备101、网络设备102、核心网设备103。如图2所示,该指示信息发送方法包括S201-S203:
S201、第一网络设备接收第一指示信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于指示是否为该终端设备配置第二指示信息。第一指示信 息可以为终端设备的上下文(例如UE context)中新定义的一种终端设备的类型,示例性的,第一指示信息可以占1比特位,取值为1(TRUE)时表示需要为该终端设备配置第二指示信息,取值为0(FALSE)时表示不必为终端设备配置第二指示信息。或者,取值为0(FALSE)时表示需要为该终端设备配置第二指示信息,取值为1(TRUE)时表示不必为终端设备配置第二指示信息。
该终端设备支持通过CAG小区接入系统以及通过PLMN小区接入该系统,相应地,终端设备尝试接入的小区的类型可以为CAG小区或PLMN小区。示例性的,该系统可以为5G系统。
第二指示信息用于指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入该系统或者仅通过PLMN小区接入该系统。示例性的,第二指示信息可以定义为临时仅CAG指示(temporary CAG-only indication),取值为TRUE时指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入该系统,取值为FALSE时指示终端设备仅通过PLMN小区接入该系统。需要说明的是,如果第一网络设备不向终端设备配置第二指示信息,可以等效于取值FALSE,即等效于第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过PLMN小区接入该系统。
在第一网络设备中,第一指示信息可以存储于终端设备的上下文中。在终端设备处于非激活态时,第一指示信息存储在终端设备的非激活态接入层上下文(UE INACTIVE AS context)中。在终端设备处于连接态时,第一指示信息存储在终端设备的接入层上下文(UE AS context)中。
第一网络设备至少可以通过以下方式之一接收第一指示信息:
在一种可能的实施方式中,核心网设备(例如AMF设备)可以确定第一指示信息,并向第一网络设备发送第一指示信息。相应地,第一网络设备可以从核心网设备获取第一指示信息。第一指示信息在核心网设备中可以存储于终端设备的上下文中,核心网设备可以根据终端设备的上下文确定第一指示信息,并发送给第一网络设备。例如,对于空闲态的终端设备,在RRC连接建立流程中,核心网设备可以在向第一网络设备发送的初始上下文建立请求(initial context setup request)消息中携带第一指示信息,从而使得第一网络设备获取第一指示信息。
在另一种可能的实施方式中,终端设备可以向第一网络设备发送第一指示信息,相应地,第一网络设备可以从终端设备接收第一指示信息。例如,对于空闲态的终端设备,在RRC连接建立流程中,终端设备可以在向第一网络设备发送的RRC建立请求(RRC setup request)消息中携带第一指示信息;或者,对于非激活态的终端设备,在RRC连接恢复流程中,终端设备可以在向第一网络设备发送的RRC恢复请求(RRC resume request)消息中携带第一指示信息,从而使得第一网络设备获取第一指示信息。也就是说,由终端设备通过向第一网络设备发送第一指示信息,主动触发第一网络设备为终端设备配置第二指示信息。
在终端设备中,第一指示信息可以存储于终端设备的上下文中。在终端设备处于非激活态时,第一指示信息存储在终端设备的非激活态接入层上下文(UE INACTIVE AS context)中。在终端设备处于连接态时,第一指示信息存储在终端设备的接入层上下文(UE AS context)中。
在又一种可能的实施方式中,第一网络设备可以从第二网络设备(例如最近服务 (last serving)网络设备)接收第一指示信息。例如,对于非激活态的终端设备,在RRC连接恢复流程中,最近服务网络设备可以在向第一网络设备发送的获取UE上下文响应(retrieve UE context response)消息中携带终端设备的上下文,在该终端设备的上下文中包括第一指示信息,从而使得第一网络设备获取第一指示信息。
S202、响应于第一指示信息,第一网络设备向终端设备发送第二指示信息。
相应地,终端设备从第一网络设备接收第二指示信息。
第一网络设备可以通过以下几种方式来确定第二指示信息:
在一种可能的实施方式中,在第一指示信息指示为终端设备配置第二指示信息时,如果终端设备尝试接入(终端设备向第一网络设备发送RRC建立请求消息或RRC恢复请求消息等)的小区为CAG小区,则第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入该系统。
需要说明的是,第一网络设备还可以结合允许CAG列表来确定第二指示信息,即在第一指示信息指示为终端设备配置第二指示信息时,如果终端设备尝试接入的小区为CAG小区,并且该CAG小区的标识属于允许CAG列表,则第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入该系统。原因在于,上一种实施方式中不对CAG小区的标识是否属于允许CAG列表进行核查,如果该CAG小区的标识不属于允许CAG列表,有可能导致终端设备通过该CAG小区进行接入时,被核心网设备拒绝,将触发终端设备再次进行接入。
在另一种可能的实施方式中,在第一指示信息指示为终端设备配置第二指示信息时,如果终端设备尝试接入(终端设备向第一网络设备发送RRC建立请求消息或RRC恢复请求消息等)的小区为PLMN小区,则第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过PLMN小区接入该系统。
需要说明的是,除了上述确定第二指示信息的方式,在终端设备处于连接态时,第一网络设备还可以根据来自终端设备的测量报告,或者,所述测量报告和允许CAG列表确定第二指示信息。
其中,该测量报告至少包括服务小区的标识,以及,邻居小区的标识和测量结果。服务小区指终端设备驻留的小区。该测量报告还可以包括服务小区的测量结果。
所述标识(服务小区的标识或者邻居小区的标识)包括物理小区标识(physical cell identifier,PCI)或全球小区标识(cell global identifier,CGI)。所述测量结果(服务小区的测量结果或者邻居小区的测量结果)包括小区测量结果和/或波束测量结果。
在一种可能的实施方式中,服务小区为PLMN小区,邻居小区包括至少一个CAG小区,如果所述至少一个CAG小区的通信质量较好,并且所述至少一个CAG小区的标识属于允许CAG列表,则第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入该系统。
即第一网络设备根据服务小区的标识确定服务小区为PLMN小区;根据邻居小区的标识确定邻居小区包括至少一个CAG小区;根据至少一个CAG小区的测量结果高于第一门限,并且至少一个CAG小区的标识属于允许CAG列表,确定第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入系统。
在另一种可能的实施方式中,服务小区为CAG小区,邻居小区仅包括PLMN小区,如果PLMN小区的通信质量较好,并且CAG小区的通信质量较差,则第二指示 信息指示终端设备仅通过PLMN小区接入该系统。
即第一网络设备根据服务小区的标识确定服务小区为CAG小区;根据邻居小区的标识确定邻居小区仅包括PLMN小区;第一网络设备根据PLMN小区的测量结果高于第二门限,服务小区的测量结果低于第三门限,确定第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过PLMN小区接入系统。
示例性的,在前文所述的RRC连接建立流程中,对于终端设备主动触发的获取第二指示信息,第一网络设备可以在向终端设备发送的RRC建立(RRC setup)消息中携带第二指示信息。对于第一网络设备自主决策为终端设备配置第二指示信息,第一网络设备可以在向终端设备发送的RRC重配置(RRC reconfiguration)消息中携带第二指示信息。
示例性的,在前文所述的RRC连接恢复流程中,对于第一网络设备成功从第二网络设备(例如最近服务网络设备)获取终端设备的上下文,第一网络设备可以在向终端设备发送的RRC恢复(RRC resume)消息中携带第二指示信息。对于第一网络设备未成功从第二网络设备获取终端设备的上下文,第一网络设备可以在向终端设备发送的RRC建立(RRC setup)消息中携带第二指示信息。
示例性的,对于前文所述的第一网络设备根据来自终端设备的测量报告,或者,所述测量报告和允许CAG列表确定第二指示信息,第一网络设备可以在向终端设备发送的RRC释放(RRC release)消息中携带第二指示信息。
S203、响应于第二指示信息,终端设备通过CAG小区接入该系统或者通过PLMN小区接入该系统。
如果第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入系统,则终端设备通过CAG小区接入该系统。如果第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过PLMN小区接入系统,则终端设备通过PLMN小区接入该系统。
本申请实施例提供的指示信息发送方法,第一网络设备接收第一指示信息,其中,第一指示信息用于指示是否为该终端设备配置第二指示信息,第二指示信息指示终端设备仅通过CAG小区接入系统,或者,仅通过PLMN小区接入系统。响应于第一指示信息,第一网络设备向终端设备发送第二指示信息,使得终端设备可以响应于第二指示信息,通过CAG小区或者通过PLMN小区接入系统。由第一网络设备对同时支持CAG接入和PLMN接入的终端设备的接入进行限制,从而控制该终端设备接入CAG小区或接入PLMN小区。
