具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚地说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
请参考图1,其示出了本申请一个实施例提供的通信系统的网络架构的示意图。该网络架构可以包括:终端10和基站20。
终端10的数量通常为多个,每一个基站20所管理的小区内可以分布一个或多个终端10。终端10可以包括各种具有无线通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备,以及各种形式的用户设备(User Equipment,UE),移动台(Mobile Station,MS),终端设备(terminal device)等等。为方便描述,本申请实施例中,上面提到的设备统称为终端。
基站20是一种部署在接入网中用以为终端20提供无线通信功能的装置。基站20可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站,接入点等等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如在5G NR系统中,称为gNodeB或者gNB。随着通信技术的演进,“基站”这一名称可能会变化。为方便描述,本申请实施例中,上述为终端20提供无线通信功能的装置统称为基站。
可选的,图1中未示出的是,上述网络架构还包括其它网络设备,比如:中心控制节点(Central network control,CNC)、接入和移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)设备、会话管理功能(Session management function,SMF)或者用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)设备等等。
本公开实施例中的“5G NR系统”也可以称为5G系统或者NR系统,但本领域技术人员可以理解其含义。本公开实施例描述的技术方案可以适用于5G NR系统,也可以适用于5G NR系统后续的演进系统。
R16 5G IIoT中需求支持工业自动化(Factory automation),传输自动化(Transport Industry),智能电力(Electrical Power Distribution)等业务在5G系统的传输。在TSN网络中,5C网络作为TSN桥(TSN bridge),为TSN网络和业务提供服务。针对这一点,NR系统需要提供更低的时延保证,和更高的时钟同步精度,以便工业自动化业务在5G网络中传输的时候,机械操作的每一个点的操作和接续精准,且是符合时间要求的。
在R16主要支持以网络作为master TSN clock node,UE作为slave TSN clock node的场景,相应的TSN时钟信息,从基站通知给UE,UE与基站进行同步。
基于这一假设,并且,基于TSN业务传输的需求,TSN业务在5G内传输时,需要UE和基站同步,相应的基站提供参考时间信息给UE,使得UE和基站同步。进一步的,为达到1us的时间精度,网络通知TSN时间同步信息和更精准的时间同步精度信息,该参考时钟信息包含在TimeReferenceInfo IE中。可以通过广播或单播发送给UE,时间同步精度的粒度为10ns。
在R16主要支持以网络作为master TSN clock node,UE作为slave TSN clock node的场景,由网络提供信息供UE与之同步。而在R17需要支持UE作为master TSN clock node的场景。由于服务小区内存在多个UE,且不同UE的时钟精度不同,时钟本振不同,设备误差不同等,将导致选择哪个UE作为mater TSN clock node是一件需要确定的事情,否则将造成系统TSN不同步的问题,或者同步精度不足的问题。
而本申请后续实施例提出了一种在支持UE作为master TSN clock node的场景下的时钟同步方案,从而扩展TSN时钟同步的应用场景。
下面,将结合几个示例性实施例,对本申请技术方案进行介绍说明。
