Description

一种临近服务的数据传输方法、设备及系统
本申请要求于2020年04月03日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202010260428.5、申请名称为“一种临近服务的数据传输方法、设备及系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种临近服务(proximity-based services,ProSe)的数据传输方法、设备及系统。
背景技术
随着智能终端的广泛使用,为了提高频谱利用率、系统吞吐量、增大网络覆盖范围等,ProSe通信被越来越广泛的应用。在ProSe通信中,终端与终端之间可以直接建立通信链路,并通过该通信链路直接通信,而不用再由接入网设备进行转发通信。
如图1所示,在第五代移动通信技术(5th-Generation,5G)通信系统的ProSe架构中,若终端1与终端2建立了PC5接口的ProSe通信链路,终端1可以通过终端2与无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)之间的Uu接口与RAN和核心网建立连接并进行通信。其中,在上述场景中,终端1可以称为远程用户设备(remote UE),终端2可以称为中继用户设备(UE-to-network relay UE)。
其中,ProSe通信需要通过空口协议栈来实现。空口协议栈通常被分为三层:物理层(也称为Layer-1,L1层),数据链路层(也称为Layer-2,L2层)以及网络层(也称为Layer-3,L3层)。如图2所示,5G新无线(new radio,NR)通信系统中,L2层(即数据链路层)又可以分为以下子层:介质访问控制(medium access control,MAC)层,无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层,分组数据融合协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层和服务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层。其中,MAC层用于向RLC层提供逻辑信道,以及进行逻辑信道与物理信道的映射。RLC层用于向PDCP层提供RLC信道,以及进行RLC信道与逻辑信道的映射。PDCP层用于向SDAP层提供无线承载(radio bearer,RB),以及进行RB与RLC信道的映射。RB包括控制面的信令无线承载(signaling radio bearer,SRB)和用户面的数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DBR)。SDAP层用于提供数据包的具体服务质量流(quality of service flow,QoS flow),以及进行QoS流与RB的映射。同一个QoS流所传输的数据包使用相同的QoS参数进行处理,并用QoS流标识(QoS flow identifer,QFI)进行表示。QoS参数用于指示数据包传输所需要的资源类型、优先级、时延、丢包率或时间窗大小等参数中的一个或多个。
常规的NR ProSe通信中,如图3所示,在应用服务器有数据包需要传输时,首先,协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)中的数据包在远程UE的NR-SDAP层进行一次封装。然后,NR-SDAP层会根据数据包的QoS需求将数据包对应到用于物理层传输的承载上。由于NR-SDAP和NR-PDCP之间的协议如TS 38.300中所规定,是Uu接口使用的通信协议,因此NR-SDAP会根据数据包QoS需求将数据包对应到对应的 Uu QoS参数上,并通过该Uu接口下发至下层。如此,远程UE可以使用Uu QoS参数,通过PC5链路将数据包发送给中继UE。
但是,对于同一数据包,对PC5 QoS参数的需求与Uu QoS参数的需求是不同的,因此,采用上述常规的数据传输方法无法完成数据包的传输。

以下结合附图对本申请实施例提供的临近服务的数据传输方法进行具体介绍:
图7示出了本申请实施例提供的一种临近服务的数据传输方法,该方法可以基于前述架构,具体如下所述。
S701、中继UE获取第一通信链路和第二通信链路之间的对应关系。
其中,第一通信链路可以是Uu接口通信链路,Uu接口通信链路指的是中继UE与接入网设备之间通过Uu接口建立的通信链路,可以用于在中继UE与接入网设备之间传输第一业务的数据。例如,第一通信链路可以是数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)。DRB用于在中继UE与接入网设备之间传输第一业务的数据。
其中,第二通信链路可以是PC5接口通信链路,用于在中继UE与远程UE之间传输第一业务的数据。例如,第二通信链路可以是侧链路无线承载(sidelink radio bearer,SLRB)。
需要指出的是,关于DRB和SLRB的具体介绍,可以参考常规技术中的解释和说明,这里不做赘述。
其中,第一业务可以是远程UE希望或即将使用中继UE传输的业务。该第一业务可以是某一个具体的业务,例如,视频业务,语音业务,彩铃业务,文字传输业务等;也可以是某一个类型的业务,例如,网络切片业务,即时通信业务,生活服务业务等。
其中,S701可以采用如下方式来实现。
方式一、中继UE直接从接入网设备接收第一通信链路和第二通信链路之间的对应关系。
需要说明的是,该对应关系可以是显式的,也可以是隐式的,例如,同一条消息中携带第一通信链路的标识信息和第二通信链路的标识信息。
方式二、中继UE从接入网设备接收第一通信链路的标识信息和第二通信链路的标识信息,然后根据第一通信链路的标识信息和第二通信链路的标识信息建立第一通信链路和第二通信链路之间的对应关系。
例如,中继UE可以从接入网设备接收第一通信链路的配置信息和第二通信链路的配置信息,该第一通信链路的配置信息中包括第一通信链路的标识信息,该第二通信链路的配置信息中包括第二通信链路的标识信息。
其中,第一通信链路的标识信息用于标识第一通信链路,例如,第一通信链路是第一DRB,第一通信链路的标识信息是第一DRB的ID(Identity)。第二通信链路的标识信息用于标识第二通信链路,例如,第二通信链路是第一SLRB,第二通信链路的标识信息是第一SLRB的ID。
方式三、中继UE从接入网设备接收第一通信链路与至少两个PC5接口通信链路之间的对应关系,然后从接收到的至少两个PC5接口通信链路中选择得到第二通信链路,并建立第一通信链路和第二通信链路之间的对应关系。
其中,中继UE可以根据至少两个PC5接口通信链路被占用的情况(如占用率)从接收到的至少两个PC5接口通信链路中选择得到第二通信链路;中继UE也可以根据接收到的至少两个PC5接口通信链路与PC5 QoS参数之间的对应关系,以及第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。从接收到的至少两个PC5接口通信链路中选择得到第二通信链路。
其中,第一业务的PC5 QoS参数包括以下参数中的一种或多种:PC5接口的资源类型、PC5接口的调度优先级、PC5接口的时延、PC5接口的丢包率、PC5接口的最大突发流量或PC5接口的时间窗大小。
其中,PC5接口的资源类型包括以下一种或多种:保证比特速率(guaranteed bit rate,GBR)类型、非保证比特速率Non-GBR类型和时延临界保证比特速率(delay critical guaranteed bit rate,Delay-critical GBR)类型。GBR类型是指即使在网络资源紧张的情况下,相应的比特速率也能够保持。Non-GBR类型是指网络不提供最低的传输速率保证,也就是说,在网络拥挤的情况下,业务需要承受降低速率的要求。Delay-critical GBR是指对于超过规定时延限制的业务数据作丢包处理,并计入丢包率的统计中;对于未超过规定时延限制的业务数据,正常传输。Uu接口的调度优先级定义了业务的重要性,在系统资源受限时,Uu接口的调度优先级决定了QoS流是被Uu接口接受还是拒绝。Uu接口的时延定义了业务对传输时延的要求。Uu接口的丢包率定义了业务对丢包率的要求。例如,语音、视频通话、物联网、车联网等工业控制类的时延敏感性 业务,通常对传输速率、时延和丢包率有较高要求。Uu接口的最大突发流量定义了业务对最大突发流量的要求。Uu接口的时间窗大小定义了业务对时间窗大小的要求。
方式四、中继UE根据接收到的第一业务的PC5 QoS参数确定第二通信链路,以及从接入网设备接收第一通信链路的标识信息,然后建立第一通信链路和所第二通信链路之间的对应关系。
例如,中继UE可以从远程UE接收第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。
方式五、中继UE从接入网设备接收第一通信链路的标识信息,从远程UE接收第二通信链路的标识信息,然后建立第一通信链路和所第二通信链路之间的对应关系。
例如,中继UE可以从远程UE接收第二通信链路的配置信息,该第二通信链路的配置信息中包括第二通信链路的标识信息。
S702、中继UE根据第一通信链路和第二通信链路之间的对应关系,传输远程UE的第一业务的数据。

例如,在有来自远程UE的第一业务的上行数据通过第二通信链路到达中继UE时,中继UE通过与该第二通信链路有对应关系的第一通信链路将该第一业务的上行数据发送给接入网设备。在有来自接入网设备的第一业务的下行数据通过第一通信链路到达中继UE时,中继UE与该第一通信链路有对应关系的第二通信链路将该第一业务的下行数据发送给远程UE。
在图7所示的实施例中,中继UE通过获取第一通信链路(如DRB)和第二通信链路(如SLRB)之间的对应关系,以便可以根据该对应关系分别在中继UE与接入网设备之间通过第一通信链路,在远程UE与中继UE之间通过第二通信链路传输第一业务的业务数据。通过这样的方案,可以解决常规技术中第一通信链路(如DRB)和第二通信链路(如SLRB)的QoS参数不匹配导致的无法完成业务数据传输的问题。

或者,第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息还可以以其他形式来表示,本申请实施例对Uu QoS需求信息的具体表现形式不作具体限定。
S802、接入网设备根据第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息,确定通过第一DRB传输第一业务的数据。
其中,第一DRB可以满足第一业务对Uu接口的QoS配置需求,例如,该QoS配置需求可以包括对Uu接口的资源类型、调度优先级、时延、丢包率、最大突发流量或时间窗大小等QoS参数的配置需求。
可以理解,中继UE与接入网设备之间可以通过多条通信链路(如多个DRB)进行业务数据传输。不同的通信链路可以是不同的资源类型,可以达到不同的调度优先级、时延、丢包率、最大突发流量或可以使用不同大小的时间窗。接入网设备可以根据第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息,从中继UE与接入网设备之间的上述多个DRB中,选择一个能够满足第一业务的Uu QoS配置需求的DRB,如第一DRB。

或者,Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系还可以以其他形式来表示,本申请实施例对Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系的具体表现形式不作具体限定。
通常,中继UE与远程UE之间可以通过多条通信链路(如多个SLRB)进行业务数据传输。不同的通信链路可以是不同的资源类型,可以达到不同的调度优先级、时延、丢包率、最大突发流量或可以使用不同大小的时间窗。
在一个示例中,接入网设备可以获取并存储Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系。进一步地,接入网设备可以根据Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息,将第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息对应到PC5 QoS参数。例如,接入网设备从Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关中,选择最能满足第一业务对Uu接口的资源类型、调度优先级、时延、丢包率、最大突发流量或时间窗大小等一个或多个QoS参数需求的一个或一组Uu QoS参数,以及确定与该一个或一组Uu QoS参数对应的一个或一组PC5 QoS参数。然后,根据确定的一个或一组PC5 QoS参数,确定能够满足该一个或一组PC5 QoS参数的第一SLRB。该第一SLRB可以满足第一业务对远程UE与中继UE之间的PC5接口的QoS配置需求。
其中,具有对应关系的PC5 QoS参数与Uu QoS参数通常可以满足业务对资源类型、调度优先级、时延、丢包率、最大突发流量或时间窗大小等QoS参数的配置需求。
例如,远程UE的第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息包括以下参数需求:资源类型为GRB。调度优先级为30,时延要求为不高于50ms,丢包率为不高于10 -3,平均时间窗大小为2000ms。接入网设备中存储的上述Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系中,包括能够满足第一业务QoS参数配置需求的第一Uu QoS参数(如5QI=3),以及与该第一Uu QoS参数匹配的第一PC5 QoS参数(如PQI=3)。其中,第一Uu QoS参数可以满足第一业务对Uu接口的资源类型、Uu接口调度优先级、Uu接口时延、Uu接口丢包率、Uu接口最大突发流量或Uu接口时间窗大小等QoS参数的配置需求。第一PC5 QoS参数可以满足第一业务对PC5接口的资源类型、PC5接口调度优先级、PC5接口时延、PC5接口丢包率、PC5接口最大突发流量或PC5接口时间窗大小等QoS参数的配置需求。

示例性地,在远程UE向AMF网元注册的过程中,远程UE在注册请求消息中携带用于指示该远程UE支持使用PC5接口进行直接通信的能力信息,AMF网元可以根据该能力信息确定向接入网设备发送Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系。
另外,AMF网元还可以向接入网设备发送第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息。进一步的,AMF网元还可以向接入网设备转发SMF网元为QoS流分配的QFI。其中,第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息和QFI可以由AMF网元发送Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系时一同发送给接入网设备,也可以由AMF网元单独发送给接入网设备,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,AMF网元还可以向接入网设备发送远程UE进行ProSe通信时可以使用的PLMN列表,远程UE在网络覆盖外可以使用的无线频段信息,QoS需求信息映射到PQI的规则或标准化的PQI等中的一项或多项。
需要说明的是,AMF网元既可以在远程UE向AMF网元注册过程中向接入网设备发送Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,也可以在远程UE的其他流程中发送给接入网设备,例如服务请求流程、PDU会话建立流程或者PDU会话恢复流程,本申请不限定。

其中,第一DRB用于在中继UE与接入网设备之间传输第一业务的数据,第一SLRB用于在中继UE与远程UE之间传输第一业务的数据。第一DRB与第一SLRB之间的对应关系由接入网设备建立。可以理解,接入网设备获取了第一DRB、第一SLRB和QFI,就可以为QFI对应的业务数据建立第一DRB与第一SLRB之间的对应 关系,用于通过第一DRB与第一SLRB构成的传输通道传输该业务的业务数据。
S805、中继UE向远程UE发送第一SLRB的配置信息。

也就是说,能够满足远程UE(如远程UE 1)的第一业务对远程UE 1与中继UE之间的PC5接口的QoS配置需求的PC5接口通信链路(如SLRB)可以有多条。接入网设备可以根据Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息,将第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息对应到PC5 QoS参数。例如,接入网设备从Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关中,选择最能满足第一业务对Uu接口的资源类型、调度优先级、时延、丢包率、最大突发流量或时间窗大小等一个或多个QoS参数需求的一个或一组Uu QoS参数,以及确定与该一个或一组Uu QoS参数对应的多个或多组PC5 QoS参数。然后,根据确定的多个或多组PC5 QoS参数,确定能够满足该多个或多组PC5 QoS参数的至少两个PC5接口通信链路。该至少两个PC5接口通信链路均可以满足第一业务对远程UE 1与中继UE之间的PC5接口的QoS配置需求。
S1002、接入网设备向中继UE发送第三通信链路信息。
相应地,中继UE从接入网设备接收第三通信链路信息。
其中,该第三通信链路信息用于表征第一对应关系。第一对应关系是第一DRB与远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路之间的对应关系。
例如,第三通信链路信息可以以表格的形式由接入网设备发送给中继UE,也可以以其他形式发送给中继UE,不进行限定。以下表3仅以一种表格形式进行说明,表格也可以是其他形式,不进行限定。
表3
Figure PCTCN2021083601-appb-000004
其中,表3中的第一DRB是接入网设备确定的用于在接入网设备与中继UE之间传输第一业务的数据的通信链路。第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB是接入网设备确定的可以用于中继UE与远程UE 1之间传输第一业务的数据的候选通信链路。表3中的“Uu接口通信链路”与“PC5接口通信链路”之间的对应关系即第一对应关系。
S1003、中继UE从第三通信链路信息表征的远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路中,确定第一SLRB。
在一个示例中,中继UE可以根据从接入网设备获取的远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路被占用的情况(如占用率),从上述远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路中确定用于传输第一业务的数据的的第二通信链路,如第一SLRB。例如,中继UE可以监听上述远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路的使用情况,从中选择占用率最小的PC5接口通信链路作为第二通信链路。其中,远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路的占用率是指在预设时间段内,中继UE监测到的通信链路的接收功率大于预设功率的时间比。或者,中继UE监测到的通信链路接收到远程UE的信号强度小于预设信号强度的时间比。
S1004、中继UE建立第一DRB和第一SLRB之间的对应关系。
在一个示例中,上述步骤S1002中,接入网设备向中继UE发送第三通信链路信息中包括:第一DRB的标识信息和远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路的标识信息。在这种情况下,中继UE可以从远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路中确定出第一SLRB,并且建立第一DRB和第一SLRB之间的对应关系。
对于图10所示的实施例,在有来自接入网设备的第一业务的下行数据通过第一DRB到达中继UE时,中继UE可以根据接入网设备在第一业务的下行数据包中添加的SLRB标记(如第一SLRB的标识信息),确定使用哪一个SLRB向远程UE传输该第一业务的下行数据包。在有来自远程UE的第一业务的上行数据到达中继UE时,无论该上行数据包是通过第一SLRB、第二SLRB还是第三SLRB传输至中继UE,中继UE均通过第一DRB将该第一业务的上行数据包传输至接入网设备。
可选的,在另一个示例中,如图11所示,该实施例提供的方法在图10所示方法的基础上,还可以包括步骤S1101-S1102,此外,将S1003替换为S1103,具体如下所述。
S1101、接入网设备向中继UE发送第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。
相应的,中继UE从接入网设备接收第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。
其中,第一业务的PC5 QoS参数可以是接入网设备根据第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息,结合Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系确定的。例如,第一业务的PC5 QoS参数可以是Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系中,与第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息匹配度最高的PC5 QoS参数。例如,第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息用5QI:3表示,与其匹配度最高的第一业务的PC5 QoS参数可以用PQI:3表示。
S1102、接入网设备向中继UE发送第二对应关系。第二对应关系是第三通信链路信息表征的远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路与PC5 QoS参数之间的对应关系。
相应的,中继UE从接入网设备接收第二对应关系。
在一些实施例中,第二对应关系可以与第一对应关系一起由接入网设备通过第三通信链路信息发送给中继UE。例如,第三通信链路信息可以以表格的形式由接入网设备发送给中继UE。如以下表4所示:
表4
Figure PCTCN2021083601-appb-000005
其中,表4中的第一DRB是接入网设备确定的用于在接入网设备与中继UE之间传输第一业务的数据的通信链路。第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB是接入网设备确定的可以用于中继UE与远程UE之间传输第一业务的数据的候选通信链路。PQI:3、PQI:4和PQI:5分别是第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB对应的PC5 QoS参数。表4中的“Uu接口通信链路”与“PC5接口通信链路”之间的对应关系即第一对应关系。表4中的“PC5接口通信链路”与“PC5 QoS参数”之间的对应关系即第二对应关系。
S1103、中继UE根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,第一对应关系和第二对应关系,从第三通信链路信息表征的远程UE的至少两个PC5接口通信链路中确定第一SLRB。
在一个示例中,中继UE根据第一对应关系可知第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB是可以用于中继UE与远程UE之间传输第一业务的数据的候选通信链路,根据第二对应关系可知第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB分别可以达到PQI:3、PQI:4和PQI:5对应的PC5 QoS参数需求,而第一业务的PC5 QoS参数为PQI:3,因此,综合上述信息,中继UE可以确定第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB中,最能满足第一业务的PC5接口传输需求的是第一SLRB。
我们知道,本申请提供的临近服务的数据传输方法是基于QoS流进行QoS需求管控。在一个示例中,接入网设备在进行QoS流与DRB的映射时,可以将不同的QoS流映射到同一个DRB上。例如,映射到同一个DRB上的QoS流具有部分相近或相同的QoS参数。例如,不同QoS流具有相同的调度优先级,或者相近的时延或丢包率等等。
因此,假设远程UE有第一业务和第二业务传输需求,第一业务和第二业务使用的QoS流不同,但部分QoS参数相近或相同,那么第一业务的QoS流和第二业务的QoS流可以映射到同一DRB上传输。在这种情况下,上述步骤S1002中,接入网设备向中继UE发送的第三通信链路信息可以包括第一对应关系和第二对应关系。其中,第一对应关系是第一DRB与远程UE 1的至少两个PC5接口通信链路(包括第二通信链路(如第一SLRB)和第三通信链路(如第二SLRB))之间的对应关系;第二对应关系是第一对应关系中每一个PC5接口通信链路与PC5 QoS参数之间的对应关系。如以下表5所示:
表5
Figure PCTCN2021083601-appb-000006
上述表5中的第一DRB是接入网设备确定的用于在接入网设备与中继UE之间传输远程UE 1的第一业务和第二业务的数据的Uu接口通信链路。第一DRB是接入网设备根据接收的第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息和第二业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。 第一SLRB和第二SLRB是接入网设备确定的分别用于在远程UE 1与中继UE之间传输第一业务和第二业务的数据的PC5接口通信链路。第一SLRB是接入网设备根据第一Uu QoS参数与第一PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。第二SLRB是接入网设备根据第二Uu QoS参数与第二PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及第二业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。其中,第二Uu QoS参数用于通过中继UE与接入网设备之间的Uu接口传输第二业务的数据,第二PC5 QoS参数用于通过中继UE与远程UE 1之间的PC5接口传输第二业务的数据。关于根据Uu QoS参数与PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定SLRB的方法,可以参考上文中的介绍,这里不做赘述。
在这种情况下,中继UE可以根据第三通信链路信息,结合第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,从第一SLRB和第二SLRB中确定能够满足第一业务传输需求的第二通信链路,即第一SLRB。
进一步可选的,若远程UE 1除了上述第一业务和第二业务传输需求,还有第三业务传输需求,第一业务、第二业务和第三业务的QoS需求相同或相似,那么第一业务、第二业务和第三业务可以映射到同一QoS流进行传输。
在这种情况下,上述步骤S1002中,接入网设备向中继UE发送的第三通信链路信息可以包括第一对应关系和第二对应关系。其中,第一对应关系是第一DRB与远程UE 1的至少两个PC5接口通信链路(包括第二通信链路(如第一SLRB)、第三通信链路(如第二SLRB)和第四通信链路(如第三SLRB))之间的对应关系;第二对应关系是第一对应关系中每一个PC5接口通信链路与PC5 QoS参数之间的对应关系。在这种情况下,第一DRB是接入网设备确定的用于在接入网设备与中继UE之间传输远程UE 1的第一业务、第二业务和第三业务的数据的Uu接口通信链路。第一DRB是接入网设备根据接收的第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息、第二业务的Uu QoS需求信息和第三业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB是接入网设备确定的分别用于在远程UE 1与中继UE之间传输第一业务、第二业务和第三业务的数据的PC5接口通信链路。第一SLRB是接入网设备根据第一Uu QoS参数与第一PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。第二SLRB是接入网设备根据第二Uu QoS参数与第二PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及第二业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。第三SLRB是接入网设备根据第三Uu QoS参数与第三PC5QoS参数的对应关系,以及第三业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。其中,第二Uu QoS参数用于通过中继UE与接入网设备之间的Uu接口传输第二业务的数据,第二PC5 QoS参数用于通过中继UE与远程UE 1之间的PC5接口传输第二业务的数据。第三Uu QoS参数用于通过中继UE与接入网设备之间的Uu接口传输第三业务的数据,第三PC5 QoS参数用于通过中继UE与远程UE 1之间的PC5接口传输第三业务的数据。在这种情况下,中继UE可以根据通信链路信息,结合第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,从第一SLRB、第二SLRB和第三SLRB中确定能够满足第一业务传输需求的第二通信链路,即第一SLRB。在这种情况下,在有来自接入网设备的第一业务的下行数据通过第一DRB到达中继UE时,中继UE可以根据接入网设备在第一业务的下行数据包中添加的PC5 QoS参数信息(如PQI:3)确定使用哪一个SLRB向远程UE传输该第 一业务的下行数据包。例如,PC5 QoS参数信息可以添加在PDCP层往RLC层发送的数据包包头中,或者添加在适应层往RLC层发送的数据包包头中。在有来自远程UE的第一业务的上行数据到达中继UE时,无论该上行数据包是通过第一SLRB、第二SLRB还是第三SLRB传输至中继UE,中继UE均通过第一DRB将该第一业务的上行数据包传输至接入网设备。
在另一个示例中,若远程UE 1和远程UE 2分别有第一业务和第四业务传输需求,第一业务和第四业务的QoS需求相同或相似,那么第一业务和第四业务可以映射到同一QoS流进行传输。
在这种情况下,上述步骤S1002中,接入网设备向中继UE发送的第三通信链路信息可以包括第一DRB与至少两个PC5接口通信链路(包括第二通信链路(如第一SLRB)和第四通信链路(如第五SLRB))之间的对应关系。如以下表6所示:
表6
Figure PCTCN2021083601-appb-000007
其中,表6中的第一DRB是接入网设备确定的用于在接入网设备与中继UE之间传输远程UE 1的第一业务和远程UE 2的第四业务的数据的Uu接口通信链路。第一DRB是接入网设备根据接收的第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息和第四业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。第一SLRB是接入网设备确定的分别用于在远程UE 1与中继UE之间传输第一业务的数据的PC5接口通信链路。第一SLRB是接入网设备根据第一Uu QoS参数与第一PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,以及第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。第二SLRB是接入网设备确定的分别用于在远程UE 2与中继UE之间传输第四业务的数据的PC5接口通信链路。第二SLRB是接入网设备根据第四Uu QoS参数与第四PC5QoS参数的对应关系,以及第四业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定的。其中,第四Uu QoS参数用于通过中继UE与接入网设备之间的Uu接口传输第四业务的数据,第四PC5 QoS参数用于通过中继UE与远程UE 1之间的PC5接口传输第四业务的数据。
在这种情况下,中继UE可以根据第三通信链路信息,结合远程UE 1的标识信息,从第一SLRB和第二SLRB中确定能够满足第一业务传输需求的第二通信链路,即第一SLRB。在这种情况下,在有来自接入网设备的第一业务的下行数据通过第一DRB到达中继UE时,中继UE可以根据接入网设备在第一业务的下行数据包中添加的远程UE的标识信息(如远程UE 1)确定使用哪一个SLRB向远程UE传输该第一业务的下行数据包。在有来自远程UE的第一业务的上行数据到达中继UE时,无论该上行数据包是通过第一SLRB还是第二SLRB传输至中继UE,中继UE均通过第一DRB将该第一业务的上行数据包传输至接入网设备。
在一种示例中,接入网设备还可以自行确定第一Uu QoS参数与第一PC5 QoS参数的对应关系。例如,在远程UE通过中继UE接入5GC,建立或更新PDU会话的过程中,接入网设备可以根据AMF网元发送的来自PCF网元的远程UE的第一业务的PC5 QoS参数(即第一PC5 QoS参数),以及AMF网元发送的第一业务的Uu QoS参数(如第一Uu QoS参数)确定第一Uu QoS参数与第一PC5 QoS参数的对应关系。 例如,接入网设备可以自行将第一PC5 QoS参数与第一Uu QoS参数做映射。
在这种情况下,通常,在远程UE通过中继UE接入5GC,建立或更新PDU会话的过程中,PCF网元可以把第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息通过PCC规则发送给SMF网元。SMF网元根据PCC规则将数据流映射到QoS流上,并将QoS流信息与第一业务的Uu QoS参数通过N2消息发送给接入网设备。接入网设备可以将第一业务的Uu QoS参数与接入网设备通过N1消息接收的AMF转发的来自PCF的多个PC5 QoS参数中的一个PC5 QoS参数做映射。得到第一PC5 QoS参数与第一Uu QoS参数的对应关系。然后,接入网设备可以根据第一PC5 QoS参数与第一Uu QoS参数的对应关系,确定第一DRB和第一SLRB;或者,确定第一DRB和至少两个PC5通信链路等。
可以理解,中继UE与远程UE使用的PC5接口的通信模式可以是自组织的模式或者自主资源调度模式。也就是说PC5接口通信链路可以由中继UE或远程UE在接入网设备(如基站)或核心网设备(例如PCF网元)预配置的无线资源池中选择。其中,无线资源池中包括多个可供中继UE或远程UE选择的SLRB。在这种情况下,如图10、图11、上述表5或表6对应的实施例所述,接入网设备不会为中继UE和远程UE直接分配第一SLRB。
对于图10、图11或上述表5或表6对应的实施例,通过由接入网设备根据第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定用于在中继UE与接入网设备之间传输第一业务的业务数据的第一通信链路(即第一DRB);由接入网设备根据第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息,以及第一Uu QoS参数与第一PC5 QoS参数的对应关系,确定至少两个PC5接口通信链路,以便中继UE可以从中选择最终用于远程UE与中继UE之间输第一业务的业务数据的第二通信链路(即第一SLRB),以解决常规技术中Uu接口通信链路与PC5接口通信链路的QoS参数不匹配导致的无法完成业务数据传输的问题。
图12和图13所示实施例以第一通信链路是第一DRB,第二通信链路是第一SLRB为例进行描述,具体如下所述。
图12示出了本申请提供的另一种临近服务的数据传输方法,在该实施例中,第一SLRB由中继UE根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数确定。具体的,该方法可以基于图8所示的实施例,且进一步地将S800-1、S800-2和S801-S804替换为S1202-S1205,具体如下所述。
S1201、AMF网元向远程UE发送来自PCF网元的远程UE的第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。
相应的,远程UE从AMF网元接收第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。
例如,在远程UE通过中继UE接入5GC,建立或更新PDU会话的过程中,PCF网元会把第一业务的PC5 QoS参数发送给AMF网元。AMF网元可以将第一业务的PC5 QoS参数通过接入网设备和中继UE转发给远程UE。
其中,第一业务的PC5 QoS参数包括以下参数中的一种或多种:PC5接口的资源类型、PC5接口的调度优先级、PC5接口的时延、PC5接口的丢包率、PC5接口的最大突发流量或PC5接口的时间窗大小。其中,PC5接口的资源类型包括以下一种或多种:GBR类型、Non-GBR类型和Delay-critical GBR类型。
S1202、远程UE向中继UE发送第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。
相应的,中继UE从远程UE接收第一业务的PC5 QoS参数。
S1203、接入网设备向中继UE发送第一DRB的标识信息。
例如,接入网设备可以向中继UE发送第一DRB的配置信息。该第一DRB的配置信息中包括第一DRB的标识信息。第一DRB的标识信息可以是第一DRB的ID。
相应的,中继UE从接入网设备接收第一DRB的标识信息。
其中,第一DRB可以是接入网设备根据第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息,将第一业务映射到DRB得到的。
S1204、中继UE根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,确定第一SLRB。
在一个示例中,中继UE可以根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,将第一业务映射到SLRB,得到第一SLRB。或者,中继UE可以根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,从无线资源池中选择得到能够与该PC5 QoS参数匹配的SLRB,得到第一SLRB。其中,该无线资源池是接入网设备(如基站)或核心网设备(例如PCF网元)为中继UE预配置的,该无线资源池中包括多个可供中继UE选择的SLRB。
S1205、中继UE根据第一DRB的标识信息和确定的第一SLRB建立第一DRB和第一SLRB之间的对应关系。
可选的,在另一个示例中,第一SLRB可以由远程UE根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数确定。具体的,该方法可以基于图12所示的实施例,且进一步地将S1202和S1204替换为S1301和S1302,此外,将S1205和S805替换为S1303,参考图13,具体如下所述。
S1301、远程UE根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,确定第一SLRB。
在一个示例中,远程UE可以根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,将第一业务映射到SLRB,得到第一SLRB。或者,远程UE可以根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数,从无线资源池中选择得到能够与该PC5 QoS参数匹配的SLRB,得到第一SLRB。其中,该无线资源池是接入网设备(如基站)或核心网设备(例如PCF网元)为远程UE预配置的,该无线资源池中包括多个可供远程UE选择的SLRB。
S1302、远程UE向中继UE发送第一SLRB的配置信息。
相应的,中继UE从远程UE接收第一SLRB的配置信息。
其中,第一SLRB的配置信息至少包括以下一种或多种:第一SLRB的标识信息(如,第一SLRB的ID)、PC5接口协议栈中RLC层的配置信息或PC5接口协议栈中MAC层的配置信息。
S1303、中继UE根据第一DRB的标识信息和第一SLRB的配置信息建立第一DRB和第一SLRB之间的对应关系。
在图12或图13所示的实施例中,通过由接入网设备确定用于在中继UE与接入网设备之间传输第一业务的业务数据的第一通信链路(即第一DRB),例如根据第一业务的Uu QoS需求信息确定;由中继UE或者远程UE根据第一业务的PC5 QoS参数确定用于远程UE与中继UE之间输第一业务的业务数据的第二通信链路(即第一SLRB),以解决常规技术中Uu接口通信链路与PC5接口通信链路的QoS参数不匹配导致的无法完成业务数据传输的问题。
