时钟同步方法、装置、设备及存储介质 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种时钟同步方法、装置、设备及存储介质。

为了保证低时延和高可靠传输,IIoT(Industrial Internet of Things,工业物联网)引入了TSN(Time Sensitive Network,时间敏感型网络)。其中,TSN中包括的TSN业务可以有多种,通常,TSN业务在传输时,需要保证支持该TSN业务的终端与该终端对应的基站时钟同步。
为此,R16中支持网络设备作为主TSN时钟节点(master TSN clock node),即网络设备可以自行确定TSN时钟信息。如此,当需要进行时钟同步时,网络设备可以向终端发送TSN时钟信息,在该种情况下,终端可以基于该TSN时钟信息与网络设备进行时钟同步。

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。
在对本申请实施例提供的时钟同步方法进行详细介绍之前,先对本申请实施例涉及的相关术语和实施环境进行简单介绍。
首先,对本申请实施例涉及的相关术语进行简单介绍。
1、TSN
IIoT中支持FA(Factory Automation,工业自动化),TI(Transport Industry,传输自动化),EPD(Electrical Power Distribution,智能电力)等业务在5G(5th-Generation,第五代移动通信技术)系统的传输。为了保证高可靠性和低时延传输,IIoT引入了TSN。如图1所示,在TSN网络中,5G网络将作为TSN网桥(TSN bridge)为TSN业务提供服务。
在R16中支持以网络设备作为主TSN时钟节点,终端作为从TSN时钟节点(slave TSN clock node)。也就是,网络设备可以自行确定TSN时钟信息,当TSN业务在5G系统内传输,即需要进行TSN业务的时钟同步时,网络设备可以向终端发送TSN时钟信息,如此,终端可以基于该TSN时钟信息与网络设备进行时钟同步。
其中,该TSN时钟信息可以通过广播(Broadcast)、多播(Multicast)或单播(Unicast)的方式发送给终端。
2、小区切换
若正在使用网络服务的终端从一个小区移动到另一个小区,或由于无线传输业务负荷量调整、激活操作维护、设备故障等原因,为了保证通信的连续性和服务的质量,系统要将该终端与源小区的通信链路转换到新的小区上,这个过程就是小区切换。
示例性的,整个切换过程分为以下三个阶段:
(1)切换准备:包括测量控制和汇报,切换请求以及切换响应。也就是,源网络设备向目标网络设备发送切换请求消息,目标网络设备在接收到该切换请求消息后,可以向源网络设备发送切换响应消息,该切换响应消息中可以包括切换命令。在源网络设备接收到该切换响应消息的情况下,可以将切换命令转发给终端。
(2)切换执行:终端在接收到切换命令后,可以立即执行切换过程,即终端可以断开与源网络设备之间的连接,并与目标网络设备建立连接。
(3)切换完成:在目标网络设备与终端建立连接的情况下,目标网络设备可以与AMF(Access and Mobility Management Function,接入和移动管理功能)和UPF(User Plane Function,用户面功能)执行路径切换,释放终端上下文。
接下来,对本申请实施例涉及的实施环境进行简单介绍。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:GSM(Global System of Mobile communication,全球移动通讯)系统、CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access,码分多址)系统、WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,宽带码分多址)系统、GPRS(General Packet Radio Service,通用分组无线业务)、LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)系统、FDD(Frequency Division Duplex,频分双工)系统、TDD(Time Division Duplex,时分双工)系统、LTE-A(Aadvanced Long Term Evolution,先进的长期演进)系统、NR(New Redio,新无线)系统、NR系统的演进系统、LTE-U(LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum,非授权频段上的LTE)系统、NR-U(NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum,非授权频段上的NR)系统、UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,通用移动通信系统)、WiMAX(Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access,全球互联微波接入)通信系统、WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks,无线局域网)、WiFi(Wireless Fidelity,无线保真)、下一代通信系统或其他通信系统等。
通常来说,传统的通信系统支持的连接数有限,也易于实现,然而,随着通信技术的发展,移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信,还将支持例如,D2D(Device to Device,设备到设备)通信,M2M(Machine to Machine,机器到机器)通信,MTC(Machine Type Communication,机器类型通信),以及V2V(Vehicle to Vehicle,车辆间)通信等,本申请实施例也可以应用于这些通信系统。
本申请实施例描述的系统架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于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。
示例性的,本申请实施例应用的通信系统200如图2所示。该通信系统200可以包括接入网设备210,接入网设备210可以是与终端220(或称为通信终端、终端)通信的设备。接入网设备210可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端进行通信。可选地,该接入网设备210可以是eNB(Evolutional Node B,演进型基站),或者是CRAN(Cloud Radio Access Network,云无线接入网络)中的无线控制器,或者该接入网设备可以为移动交换中心、中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、集线器、交换机、网桥、路由器、5G网络中的网络侧设备或者未来通信系统中的接入网设备等。
该通信系统200还包括位于接入网设备210覆盖范围内的至少一个终端220。作为在此使用的“终端”包括但不限于经由有线线路连接,如经由PSTN(Public Switched Telephone Networks,公共交换电话网络)、DSL(Digital Subscriber Line,数字用户线路)、数字电缆、直接电缆连接;和/或另一数据连接/网络;和/或经由无线接口,如,针对蜂窝网络、WLAN、诸如DVB-H网络的数字电视网络、卫星网络、AM-FM广播发送器;和/或另一终端的被设置成接收/发送通信信号的装置;和/或IoT(Internet of Things,物联网)设备。被设置成通过无线接口通信的终端可以被称为“无线通信终端”、“无线终端”或“移动终端”。移动终端的示例包括但不限于卫星或蜂窝电话;可以组合蜂窝无线电电话与数据处理、传真以及数据通信能力的PCS(Personal Communications System,个人通信系统)终端;可以包括无线电电话、寻呼机、因特网/内联网接入、Web浏览器、记事簿、日历以及/或GPS(Global Positioning System,全球定位系统)接收器的PDA;以及常规膝上型和/或掌上型接收器或包括无线电电话收发器的其它电子装置。终端可以指接入终端、UE(User Equipment,用户设备)、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、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、SIP(Session Initiation Protocol,会话启动协议)电话、WLL(Wireless Local Loop,无线本地环路)站、PDA(Personal Digital Assistant,个人数字处理)、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、车载设备、可穿戴设备、5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的PLMN中的终端等。

可选地,5G通信系统或5G网络还可以称为NR系统或NR网络。
图2示例性地示出了一个接入网设备和两个终端,可选地,该通信系统200可以包括多个接入网设备并且每个接入网设备的覆盖范围内可以包括其它数量的终端,譬如,在切换场景中,通常包括第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备,该第一接入网设备为源接入网设备,该第二接入网设备为目标接入网设备,即终端从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备。
可选地,该通信系统200还可以包括网络控制器、移动管理实体等其他网络实体,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,本申请实施例中网络/系统中具有通信功能的设备可称为通信设备。以图2示出的通信系统200为例,通信设备可包括具有通信功能的接入网设备210和终端220,接入网设备210和终端220可以为上文所述的具体设备,此处不再赘述;通信设备还可包括通信系统200中的其他设备,例如网络 控制器、移动管理实体等其他网络实体,本申请实施例中对此不做限定。
在介绍完本申请实施例涉及的相关术语和实施环境后,接下来将结合附图对本申请实施例提供的时钟同步方法进行详细介绍。
请参考图3,该图3是根据一示例性实施例示出的一种时钟同步方法的流程图,该时钟同步方法可以应用于上述图2所示的实施环境中,该时钟同步方法可以包括如下内容中的至少部分内容:
步骤301:在第一终端组中的终端需要切换的情况下,在切换过程中向第二接入网设备发送第一信息。
其中,第一终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型相同,第一信息用于第二接入网设备确定目标时钟参考终端,目标时钟参考终端用作第一主TSN时钟节点,第一主TSN时钟节点为第二接入网设备下第二终端组的主TSN时钟节点,或者,第一主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。第二终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型相同,第二终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型与第一终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型相同。
其中,需要进行切换的终端可以为第一终端组中的一个终端,也可以为第一终端组中的多个终端,还可以为第一终端组中的所有终端,本实施例对此不做限定。
通常,在5G系统内的任一接入网设备的覆盖范围内可以存在多个终端,该多个终端可以支持同一类型的TSN业务,也可以支持不同类型的TSN业务。在该种情况下,可以将多个终端中支持相同类型的TSN业务的终端归类于同一终端组。
示例性的,可以将第一接入网设备的覆盖范围内的多个终端中支持指定TSN业务的终端归类于第一终端组。类似的,可以将第二接入网设备的覆盖范围内的多个终端中支持该指定TSN业务的终端归类于第二终端组。
其中,目标时钟参考终端可以包括在需要切换的终端中,也可以不包括在需要切换的终端中,本实施例对此不做限定。
其中,第二接入网设备指的是目标接入网设备,也就是,需要切换的终端要由第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备。
在本实施例中,基于5G系统内主TSN时钟节点的设置规则的不同,第一主TSN时钟节点可以是第二接入网设备下第二终端组的主TSN时钟节点,第一主TSN时钟节点也可以是第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。
作为一种示例,在5G系统内存在多个接入网设备的情况下,若该多个接入网设备之间没有时钟同步,每个接入网设备可以基于各自所确定的主TSN时钟节点进行时钟同步,在该种情况下,每个接入网设备都对应有自己的主TSN时钟节点。
针对上述情况,在切换过程中,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送第一信息后,第二接入网设备根据该第一信息,确定用作第二终端组进行时钟同步的主TSN时钟节点。
示例性的,当目标时钟参考终端用作第一主TSN时钟节点,且该第一主TSN时钟节点为第二接入网设备下第二终端组的主TSN时钟节点时,第二接入网设备与该目标时钟参考终端时钟同步,该第二终端组中除该目标时钟参考终端之外的其余终端与该第二接入网设备时钟同步,或者,该第二终端组中除该目标时钟参考终端之外的其余终端直接与该目标时钟参考终端时钟同步。在该种情况下,可以保证该第二终端组在其支持的TSN业务下时钟同步。
作为另一种示例,在5G系统内存在多个接入网设备的情况下,若该多个接入网设备之间时钟同步,则针对同一类型的TSN业务,该多个接入网设备可以使用相同的主TSN时钟节点。
针对上述情况,在切换过程中,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送第一信息后,第二接入网设备根据该第一信息,确定用作第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。
示例性的,当目标时钟参考终端用作第一主TSN时钟节点,且该第一主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点时,由于第二终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型与第一终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型相同,所以第二接入网设备可以与该目标时钟参考终端进行时钟同步,该第二终端组中除该目标时钟参考终端之外的其余终端可以与第二接入网设备进行时钟同步,或者,该第二终端组中除该目标时钟参考终端之外的其余终端可以直接与该目标时钟参考终端进行时钟同步。在该种情况下,可以保证该第二终端组中的终端在其支持的TSN业务下时钟同步。
需要说明的是,在该多个接入网设备之间时钟同步的情况下,该多个接入网设备中除第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备之外,其他的接入网设备可以与第二接入网设备进行时钟同步。
需要说明的是,在5G系统内存在多个接入网设备,且该多个接入网设备之间时钟同步的情况下,该多个接入网设备中任一接入网设备可以在其覆盖范围内的终端组中选择一个终端作为主TSN时钟节点。
结合上述说明,可以确定当第一终端组中的终端需要由第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,第一接入网设备可以在切换过程中向第二接入网设备发送第一信息,以通过该第一信息指示该第二接入网设备确定目标时钟参考终端,即通过该第一信息指示该第二接入网设备确定第一主TSN时钟节点,如此,第二接入网设备可以与该第一主TSN时钟节点进行时钟同步,以实现该目标时钟参考终端支持的TSN业务下的时钟同步。
示例性的,在第一终端组中的终端由第一接入网设备的覆盖范围向第二接入网设备的覆盖范围移动的情况下,第一接入网设备可以确定该第一终端组中的终端需要由第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备。如此,第一接入网设备可以在切换过程中向第二接入网设备发送第一信息。
在本申请实施例中,在第一终端组中的终端需要由第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备的情况下,第一接入网设备可以在切换过程中向第二接入网设备发送第一信息,如此,第二接入网设备可以基于该第一信息确定目标时钟参考终端。也就是,第二接入网设备可以基于第一信息确定第一主TSN时钟节点,第一主TSN时钟节点为第二接入网设备下第二终端组的主TSN时钟节点,或者,第一主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点,如此,在切换过程中使得该第二接入网设备可以确定合适的主TSN时钟节点进行时钟同步。
请参考图4,该图4是根据一示例性实施例示出的一种时钟同步方法的流程图,该时钟同步方法可以应用于上述图2所示的实施环境中,该时钟同步方法可以包括如下内容中的至少部分内容:
步骤401:在第一终端组中的终端需要切换的情况下,在切换过程中向第二接入网设备发送第一信息。
其中,第一终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型相同,第一信息用于第二接入网设备确定目标时钟参考终端,目标时钟参考终端用作第一主TSN时钟节点,第一主TSN时钟节点为第二接入网设备下第二终端组的主TSN时钟节点,或者,第一主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。第二终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型相同,第二终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型与第一终端组中的终端支持的TSN业务类型相同。
其具体实现方式可以参见图3实施例中的步骤301,这里不再重复赘述。
作为一种示例,第一信息是通过切换请求携带的。或者,第一信息是在接收到第二接入网设备发送的信息发送指示后发送的,信息发送指示用于指示第一接入网设备发送第一信息。
其中,该切换请求可以用于请求第二接入网设备与第一接入网设备下需要切换的终端执行切换。
示例性的,如图5所示,当第一接入网设备确定该第一终端组中的终端需要进行切换时,该第一接入网设备可以向第二接入网设备发送切换请求,该切换请求中可以携带第一信息。
或者,当第一接入网设备接收到第二接入网设备发送的信息发送指示时,说明该第二接入网设备可以接收第一信息,在该种情况下,第一接入网设备可以根据该信息发送指示的指示向第二接入网设备发送第一信息。
示例性的,该信息发送指示可以携带于切换响应消息中,如此,在第一接入网设备接收到切换响应消息的情况下,若确定该切换响应消息中携带信息发送指示,该第一接入网设备可以根据该信息发送指示的指示向第二接入网设备发送第一信息。
在基于图4的可选实施例中,需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端,第一时钟参考终端用作第二主TSN时钟节点,第二主TSN时钟节点为第一接入网设备下的主TSN时钟节点,或者,第二主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。
在该种情况下,第一信息包括以下至少之一:
(1)第一时钟参考终端标识;
(2)指定QoS flow(Quality of Service flow,服务质量流)标识,指定QoS flow标识指示的QoS flow用于传输TSN时钟信息;
(3)指定DRB(Data Radio Bearer,无线数据承载)标识,指定DRB标识指示的无线数据承载用于传输TSN时钟信息。
其中,该指定QoS flow可以包括指定上行QoS flow,也可以包括指定下行QoS flow,还可以既包括指定上行QoS flow又包括指定下行QoS flow,本实施例对此不做限定。
其中,该指定无线数据承载可以包括指定上行无线数据承载,也可以包括指定下行无线数据承载,还可以既包括指定上行无线数据承载又包括指定下行无线数据承载,本实施例对此不做限定。
在本实施例中,基于5G系统内主TSN时钟节点的设置规则的不同,第二主TSN时钟节点可以是第一接入网设备下第一终端组的主TSN时钟节点,第二主TSN时钟节点也可以是第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。
其具体实现方式可以参见图3实施例中的步骤301,这里不再重复赘述。
示例性的,若第一时钟参考终端用作第二主TSN时钟节点,第一接入网设备与该第一时钟参考终端时钟同步,该第一终端组中除该第一时钟参考终端之外的其他终端与该第一接入网设备时钟同步,或者,该第一终端组中除该第一时钟参考终端之外的其他终端也可以直接与该第一时钟参考终端时钟同步。在该种情况下,可以保证该第一终端组在其支持的TSN业务下时钟同步。
其中,第一时钟参考终端标识可以用于第二接入网设备在需要切换的终端中识别第一时钟参考终端。示例性的,该第一时钟参考终端标识可以为第一时钟参考终端的ID(Identity,身份标识)。
其中,在第一时钟参考终端用作第二主TSN时钟节点的情况下,第一时钟参考终端可以建立指定QoS flow或指定无线数据承载,以通过该指定QoS flow或指定无线数据承载,向第一接入网设备传输TSN时钟信息。
在该种情况下,指定QoS flow对应有指定QoS flow标识,如此,第二接入网设备可以通过识别指定QoS flow标识,以确定指定QoS flow,由此,可以根据该指定QoS flow在需要切换的终端中识别第一时钟参考终端。
类似的,指定无线数据承载对应有指定DRB标识,如此,第二接入网设备可以通过识别指定DRB标识,以确定指定无线数据承载,由此,可以根据该指定DRB标识在需要切换的终端中识别第一时钟参考终端。
也就是,第一时钟参考终端标识、指定QoS flow标识、指定DRB标识中的至少一个均可以用于第二接入网设备在需要切换的终端中识别第一时钟参考终端。
如此,当需要切换的终端中包括第一时钟参考终端时,第一接入网设备可以向第二接入网设备发送用以指示该第一时钟参考终端的信息,譬如,第一接入网设备可以向第二接入网设备发送第一时钟参考终端标识、指定QoS flow标识和指定DRB标识中的一个或多个。
示例性的,第一信息还包括以下至少之一:第一终端组的终端组标识、第一终端组中除第一时钟参考终端之外的其他终端的终端标识、TSN业务标识、TSN组标识、所属的TSN时钟域标识、所属的TSN时间域标识。
其中,第一终端组的终端组标识可以用于第二接入网设备确定需要切换的终端所属的终端组。示例性的,该第一终端组的终端组标识可以为第一终端组的ID。
其中,TSN业务标识可以用于第二接入网设备确定需要切换的终端支持的TSN业务类型,如此,第二接入网设备可以根据该需要切换的终端支持的TSN业务类型,将该需要切换的终端归类于相应的终端组。
其中,该所属的TSN时钟域标识可以用于第二接入网设备确定需要切换的终端支持的TSN业务在传输时对应的时钟域。

其中,该TSN组标识指的是需要切换的终端支持的TSN业务所归属的业务组的标识,或者,该TSN组标识指的是在第二主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点的情况下,所有支持该TSN业务的终端组成的终端组的标识。需要说明的是,支持该TSN业务的终端可以属于同一接入网设备,也可以属于不同接入网设备,本实施例对此不做限定。
也就是说,在一种实现方式中,在需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端的情况下,第一接入网设备发送的第一信息中可以包括第一终端组的终端组标识、第一终端组中除第一时钟参考终端之外的其他终端的终端标识、TSN业务标识、TSN组标识、所属的TSN时钟域标识、所属的TSN时间域标识中的一个或多个,如此,第二接入网设备可以获取该需要切换的终端的业务组归属信息或终端组归属信息,将该需要切换的终端归属到对应的终端组或业务组中。
在另一种实现方式中,在需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端的情况下,第一接入网设备发送的第一信息中可以包括用于识别第一时钟参考终端的信息,还可以包括第一终端组的终端组标识、第一终端组中除第一时钟参考终端之外的其他终端的终端标识、TSN业务标识、TSN组标识、所属的TSN时钟域标识、所属的TSN时间域标识中的一个或多个,如此,第二接入网设备可以在需要切换的终端中确定第一时钟参考终端,并且可以获取更多关于该需要切换的终端的信息,从而将该需要切换的终端归属到对应的终端组或业务组中。
作为一种示例,若需要切换的终端为第一终端组中的部分终端,且需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端,第一接入网设备还可以进行如下操作:与第一终端组包括的不需要切换的终端中的目标终端建立指定QoS flow或指定无线数据承载,指定QoS flow或指定无线数据承载用于传输TSN时钟信息。其中,目标终端为重新确定的用作第二主TSN时钟节点的终端。
在需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端的情况下,若该第一时钟参考终端切换至第二接入网设备,则该第一时钟参考终端不再用作第二主TSN时钟节点,即第一接入网设备不再与该第一时钟参考终端进行时钟同步。在该种情况下,第一接入网设备可以在第一终端组包括的不需要切换的终端中确定目标终端,即重新确定用作第二主TSN时钟节点的终端。
进一步地,该第一接入网设备可以与该目标终端建立指定QoS flow或指定无线数据承载,如此,该目标终端可以通过指定QoS flow或指定无线数据承载向第一接入网设备发送TSN时钟信息,第一接入网设备可以根据该TSN时钟信息与该目标终端进行时钟同步。
示例性的,目标终端是由以下至少之一的节点确定:第一接入网设备,核心网节点,CNC(Centralized NetworkController,集中网络控制器)节点,第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端,第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端中的任一终端,第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端中的指定终端,第一时钟参考终端。

其中,AMF节点可以用于移动性管理,该AMF节点可以与终端进行连接。SMF节点可以用于会话管理,该SMF节点可以与AMF节点进行连接。
其中,该CNC节点可以用于对TSN中的所有TSN业务进行统一管理。
其中,第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端中的指定终端可以是由第一接入网设备指定的,也可以是由核心网节点指定的,本实施例对此不做限定。
也就是,当需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端时,可以由第一接入网设备,核心网节点,CNC节点,第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端,第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端中的任一终端,第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端中的指定终端,第一时钟参考终端中的一个或多个确定目标终端。
譬如,当需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端时,可以由第一接入网设备确定目标终端,也可以由第一接入网设备和第一终端组中不需要切换的所有终端共同确定目标终端,本实施例对此不做限定。
综上,在需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端时,可以在第一终端组中不需要切换的终端中确定目标终端用作第二主TSN时钟节点,如此,第一接入网设备可以与该目标终端进行时钟同步,从而保证在第一时钟参考终端切换的情况下,该第一时钟参考终端支持的TSN业务下的时钟同步的连续性。
当然,在需要切换的终端包括第一时钟参考终端时,若第一时钟参考终端用作第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点,即至少一个接入网设备支持的该TSN业务对应的主TSN时钟节点均为第一时钟参考终端时,第一接入网设备可以仅向第二接入网设备发送第一信息,在该种情况下,不需要在第一终端组中重新确定目标终端,建立新的指定QoS flow或指定无线数据承载。
在基于图4的可选实施例中,需要切换的终端不包括第一时钟参考终端,第一时钟参考终端用作第二主TSN时钟节点,第二主TSN时钟节点为第一接入网设备下的主TSN时钟节点,或者,第二主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。

作为一种示例,候选终端指的是相对于第一时钟参考终端而言的候选终端,即在第一时钟参考终端变更的情况下,该候选终端可以用作第二主TSN时钟节点。
其中,候选终端标识可以用于第二接入网设备在需要切换的终端中确定候选终端,进一步地,该候选终端可以由该第二接入网设备根据参考策略确定,该参考策略可以根据实际需求进行设置。
示例性的,第一接入网设备可以在需要切换的终端中选择时钟精度较高的终端作为候选终端,也可以在需要切换的终端中选择本振较小的终端作为候选终端,还可以在需要切换的终端中选择服务质量较高的终端作为候选终端等,本实施例对此不做限定。
也就是,当需要切换的终端中不包括第一时钟参考终端时,第一接入网设备可以在该需要切换的终端中确定候选终端,并向第二接入网设备发送用以指示该候选终端的信息。
需要说明的是,当需要切换的终端中不包括第一时钟参考终端时,第一接入网设备还可以不在需要切换的终端中获取候选终端,本实施例对此不做限定。
示例性的,第一信息还包括以下至少之一:第一终端组的终端组标识、第一终端组中除第一时钟参考终端之外的其他终端的终端标识、TSN业务标识、TSN组标识、所属的TSN时钟域标识、所属的TSN时间域标识。

作为一种示例,若需要切换的终端为第一终端组中的部分终端,且需要切换的终端不包括第一时钟参考终端,第一接入网设备还可以进行如下操作:与第一时钟参考终端进行时钟同步。
也就是,当第一接入网设备下的第一终端组中存在部分终端需要切换,且该需要切换的终端不包括第一时钟参考终端时,该第一时钟参考终端可以继续用作第二主TSN时钟节点,因此,第一接入网设备可以与第一时钟参考终端进行时钟同步,以保证该第一时钟参考终端支持的TSN业务下的时钟同步。
在基于图4的可选实施例中,若在第一时间点第二主TSN时钟节点发生变更,向第二接入网设备发送变更消息,变更消息用于通知第二接入网设备第二主TSN时钟节点发生变更。其中,第二主TSN时钟节点为第一接入网设备下的主TSN时钟节点,或者,第二主TSN时钟节点为第一终端组支持的TSN业务的主TSN时钟节点。

其中,切换命令指的是第二接入网设备发送的,用于指示该需要切换的终端执行切换的命令,通常,第二接入网设备将切换命令发送至第一接入网设备,该第一接入网设备将该切换命令转发至需要切换的终端。
示例性的,当用作第二主TSN时钟节点的第一时钟参考终端发生变更之后,该第一时钟参考终端不再用作第二TSN时钟节点,第一接入网设备可以向第二接入网设备发送变更消息。
