一种数据传输方法、装置及设备

技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种数据传输方法、装置及设备。
背景技术
在5G(第五代移动通信技术)中,为了应对未来爆炸性的移动数据流量增长和海量的设备连接,满足不断涌现的各类新业务和应用场景,基站(gNB)可以采用控集中式节点-分布式节点(centralized unit-distributed unit,CU-DU)分离的架构,即:一个gNB可以由一个CU和一个或者多个DU组成,其中,CU和DU通过F1接口相连,CU和核心网(5GC)通过NG接口相连。UE通过DU接入CU。
对于具有中继功能的通信系统,如集中接入回传(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)系统来说,目前的数据传输主要针对单播业务,即某单播传输业务的数据只会发送给某一个终端设备,而如果在后续的5G通信中引入多媒体广播组播业务(multimedia broadcast multicast service,MBMS)业务的话,由于MBMS业务需要同时发送给多个终端设备,当前中继通信系统对于单播业务的处理方式无法完成针对MBMS业务的传输。所以,如何在中继通信系统中进行MBMS业务的传输是一个亟待解决的问题。

为了便于理解本申请,首先对本申请实施例中涉及的概念进行解释:
单播(unicast):点对点的通信技术,即网络设备与终端设备之间的单点通信,网络设备可以针对每个终端设备单独发送数据。单播也可以称为单播传输方式或者单播传输技术。
通过单播传输方式发送是指:发送装置发送协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)对应的传输块(transport block,TB)时,采用小区无线网络临时标识(cell network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)对PDU进行加扰,或对PDU对应的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)进行加扰,一个接收装置根据C-RNTI对同一PDU进行接收;或者采用单播的方式传输PDU可以指该PDU在为单播传输建立的无线承载中传输或者在专门为单播设计的信道中进行传输。
采用单播传输方式接收是指采用单播方式发送的时候,上述接收装置根据C-RNTI对PDU进行接收;或者上述接收装置通过为单播传输建立的无线承载接收或者在用于单播传输的信道上进行接收。
多播(multicast):点到多点的通信技术,也可以称为多播传输方式或者多播传输技术,用来为多媒体广播多播业务服务。多播也可以称为组播,在某些广义的场景中也可以称为一种广播技术,但是多播与传统意义的广播技术存在差异。在采用多播传输方式时,针对同一数据,网络设备(例如基站)发送的过程中有多个终端设备同时进行接收。目前多播传输技术主要分为两种:多媒体广播多播单频网络业务(multimedia broadcast multicast service single frequency network,MBSFN)和单小区点到多点业务(single cell point to multipoint,SC-PTM)。除此之外,其他多播传输技术也属于本申请实施例范围内,对此不作限定。
通过多播传输方式发送是指:发送装置发送PDU对应的TB时,采用分组无线网络临 时标识(group radio network temporary identifier,G-RNTI)对PDU进行加扰,或对PDU对应的DCI进行加扰,一个或多个接收装置根据相同的G-RNTI对同一PDU进行接收。或者采用多播的方式传输PDU可以指通过半静态方式通知多个接收装置同一PDU的位置,多个接收装置可以同时对该PDU进行接收。或者采用多播的方式传输PDU可以指该PDU在为多播传输建立的无线承载中传输或者在专门为多播设计的信道中进行传输。
通过多播传输方式接收是指对侧采用多播方式发送的时候,多个接收装置中的一个装置根据G-RNTI对PDU进行接收;或者多个接收装置中的一个装置通过为多播传输建立的无线承载接收或者在用于多播传输的信道上进行接收PDU。
MBMS业务:点到多点的单向多媒体业务。例如,在空中接口通过公共信道向小区内的用户发送多媒体的广播业务,或者以多播的方式向小区内的用户发送由用户订购的多播业务,从而节省空口资源。
本申请实施例提供一种通信系统,该通信系统可以为IAB系统或者其他具有中继功能的通信系统,如基于终端设备中继的中继系统。这里,以IAB系统为例,该通信系统可以以包括:终端设备、IAB节点(IAB node)以及IAB宿主节点(IAB donor);其中,终端设备可以与IAB node或者IAB donor进行通信,终端设备与IAB node之间的通信链路记为接入链路(access link);另外,IAB node可以与其他IAB node或者可以与IAB donor进行通信,IAB node与IAB node或者与IAB donor之间的通信链路记为回传链路(backhaul link)。
可以理解的,这些链路的名称只是示例,并不代表对链路的限定,当通信系统版本变更时,相应的名称也可以用其他无线通信网络中的对应功能的名称进行替代,都属于本申请实施例保护范围之内。
上述终端设备可以是一种向用户提供语音或者数据连通性的设备,例如也可以称为用户设备(UE,User Equipment)、移动台(mobile station)、用户单元(subscriber unit)、站台(STAtion)或者终端设备(TE,Terminal Equipment)等。终端可以为蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、个人数字助理(PDA,Personal Digital Assistant)、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)、无线本地环路(WLL,Wireless Local Loop)台或者平板电脑(pad)等。随着无线通信技术的发展,可以接入无线通信系统、可以与无线通信系统的网络侧进行通信,或者通过无线通信系统与其它设备进行通信的设备都可以是本申请实施例中的终端,譬如,智能交通中的终端和汽车、智能家居中的家用设备、智能电网中的电力抄表仪器、电压监测仪器、环境监测仪器、智能安全网络中的视频监控仪器、收款机等等。在本申请实施例中,终端可以与网络设备进行通信,多个终端之间也可以进行通信。终端可以是静态固定的,也可以是移动的。
以两跳数据回传场景为例,图1为本申请实施例中的通信系统的结构示意图,参见图1所示,该通信系统10包括:终端设备(如UE)11、IAB node1、IAB node2以及IAB donor。
其中,UE接入IAB node2(即为接入IAB node),IAB donor通过NG接口与核心网(如5GC)连接。IAB donor为IAB node1的上一跳IAB节点,IAB node1为IAB node2的上一跳IAB节点,IAB node2为UE的上一跳IAB节点。IAB node1可以分为分布单元(distributed unit,DU)和移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)两个单元,IAB node2可以分为DU和MT两个单元,IAB donor可以DU和集中单元(centralized unit,CU)两个单元。IAB node1 DU和IAB node1 MT通过内部接口通信,IAB node2 DU和IAB node2 MT通过内部接口通信,IAB donor DU和IAB donor CU通过F1接口通信。UE和IAB node2之间的接口(具体为UE和IAB node2 DU之间的接口)记为Uu接口,将IAB node2和IAB node1之间的接口(具体为IAB node2 MT和IAB node1 DU之间的接口)记为Uu2接口,IAB node1和IAB donor之间的接口(具体为IAB node1 MT和IAB donor DU之间的接口)记为Uu1接口。
在实际应用中,IAB系统还应用于N跳数据回传场景,如三跳数据回传场景、五跳数据回传场景、八跳数据回传场景等,相应地,IAB系统中IAB node的数量N可以为大于或者等于2的整数,如可以为3、5、8等,本申请实施例不做具体限定。
图2为本申请实施例中的通信系统的用户面的协议栈结构示意图,参见图2所示,相比于普通基站,IAB基站中新增加了BAP实体(BAP层)其主要功能为路由功能,即当IAB node MT的BAP实体收到数据包以后决定该数据包下一步的去向,例如,MT的BAP实体将数据包传递给本IAB基站的更高层(包括但不限于IP层)处理,如进行IP筛选,读取IP包头中的数据包信息等,并由高层将处理后的数据包通过空口发送给接入本IAB基站的UE(可以理解为IAB基站下的UE),或者,MT的BAP层将数据包转发给本设备内DU中对等的BAP层处理,并将处理后的数据包向下一跳IAB node,即下一个IAB基站转发。
对于BAP实体来说,决定数据包去向的依据为数据包包头中的BAP地址和PATH ID(路径标识),其中BAP地址和PATH ID合称为routing ID(路由标识)。以下行数据传输为例,在每个IAB基站建立的时候,IAB宿主基站会为IAB基站分配一个IAB基站本身的地址,即BAP地址,同时在回传路由信息中指定该IAB基站的下一跳IAB基站或者IAB宿主基站对应的routing ID。可选的,回传路由信息中的routing ID可以与一个出口链路标识(ID)对应,数据包可以通过出口链路ID发送给下一跳IAB基站。
IAB宿主基站在发送数据之前,BAP实体会在BAP的包头中增加BAP地址和PATH ID,当IAB基站接收到数据以后,与分配给自己的BAP地址对比,如果数据中的BAP地址和自己的BAP地址相同则证明数据是发送给自己的,因此将其递交给上层(如IP层)处理完后发送给该IAB基站下的UE;如果数据包中的BAP地址和自己的BAP地址不同, 则证明数据不是发送给自己的,进而根据数据包中的BAP地址和PATH ID将其发送给下一跳IAB基站或者IAB宿主基站,或者将该数据包丢弃,以此类推。
在本申请实施例中,对于具有中继功能的通信系统,如集中接入回传(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)系统来说,目前的数据传输主要针对单播业务,即某单播传输业务的数据只会发送给某一个终端设备,而如果在后续的5G通信中引入多媒体广播组播业务(multimedia broadcast multicast service,MBMS)业务的话,由于MBMS业务需要同时发送给多个终端设备,当前中继通信系统对于单播业务的处理方式无法完成针对MBMS业务的传输。所以,如何在中继通信系统中进行MBMS业务的传输是一个亟待解决的问题。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种数据传输方法,该方法可以应用于上述通信系统中。下面结合上述两跳回传场景下的IAB系统,对该数据传输方法进行详细的说明。
首先,需要说明的是,第一网络设备可以为上述IAB系统中与IAB donor连接的第一个中继节点,如IAB node 1,或者,第一网络设备也可以为IAB系统中的其他中继节点(如IAB node i,i为大于1的正整数,或者,第一网络设备还可以为IAB系统中与UE连接的IAB node n,即边缘节点;第二网络设备可以为上述IAB系统中第一网络设备的下一跳网络设备,如第一网络设备为IAB node1,第二网络设备为IAB node 2,或者,第二网络设备也可以为IAB系统中其他中继节点,如IAB node i的下一跳节点,对此不做具体限定。在本申请实施例中,以第一网络设备为IAB node1,第二网络设备为IAB node 2为例。第三网络设备可以为上述IAB系统中的IAB donor。
图3为本申请实施例中的配置方法的流程示意图,参见图3所示,该方法可以包括:
S301:IAB donor判断IAB node1和/或IAB node2对第一MBMS业务是否感兴趣或者是否需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据;
这里,MBMS业务是面向多个UE的业务,例如直播业务、部分公共安全业务、批量软件更新业务等。
在一些可能的实施方式中,如果某一个IAB node对第一MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据,该IAB node可以主动向IAB donor CU上报第一业务信息,以告知IAB donor CU该IAB node是对第一MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据的。当然,这个IAB node在发送第一业务信息时,还可以告知IAB donor CU自身是对其他MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收其他MBMS业务的数据的,也就是说,该IAB node可以一次性向IAB donor CU上报自身对MBMS业务的偏好,也可以针对一个MBMS业务向IAB donor CU上报一次,对此本申请实施例不做具体限定。
值得注意的是,这里IAB node向IAB donor上报,在一种实施方式中可以是IAB node下面的终端设备向IAB donor上报,上报信息通过IAB node发送给IAB donor,而IAB node对第一MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据,可以是IAB node下面的 终端设备对第一MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据,即上报的过程可以由IAB node或者IAB node下的UE发起。
在其他实施方式中,IAB donor CU也可以向这个IAB node下发上报请求(如采用计数(counting)机制),以请求该IAB node上报上述第一业务信息,IAB node接收到该上报请求后,向IAB donor上报第一业务信息。同上所述,这里可以是IAB donor CU还可以向这个IAB node下的UE下发上报请求。
由此,IAB donor在收的到IAB node上报的业务指示之后,便可以确定该IAB node或作者IAB node下的UE对第一MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据。
在一些可能的实施方式中,核心网设备在建立或者修改PDU会话或者服务质量(quality of service,QoS)流的时候,可以向IAB donor CU发送第二业务信息,以告知该PDU会话或者QoS流是用于传输MBMS业务的,那么,IAB donor CU可以确定该PDU会话或者QoS流所对应的IAB node或者UE是对该MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收MBMS业务的数据的。对于上行业务来说,核心网设备可以是接收到UE的业务建立请求,从而判断UE要接收MBMS业务;对于下行业务,核心网设备可以判断该下行业务是否是MBMS业务以及根据UE的地址信息或者UE ID判断该MBMS业务是发给哪些UE的。
进一步地,核心网设备下发的第二业务指示还可以用于指示该PDU会话或者QoS流具体是传输哪种MBMS业务,如该PDU会话或者QoS流是用于传输第一MBMS业务的。
通过上述方法,IAB donor可以判断IAB node1和IAB node2或者其下面的UE是否对第一MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据。
S302:如果IAB node1和IAB node2或者其下面的UE对第一MBMS业务感兴趣或者需要接收第一MBMS业务的数据,则IAB donor为IAB node1和IAB node 2配置第二信息;
这里,第二信息可以包括:路由地址和/或第二MBMS业务的业务标识。其中,路由地址可以包括IAB donor为IAB node分配的BAP地址或者IAB donor为IAB node分配的用于表示该IAB node的第一地址,对此不做具体限定。
在一些可能的实施例中,上述路由地址可以是与第一MBMS业务对应的,也就是说,针对不同的MBMS业务,IAB donor可以根据IAB node对MBMS业务的需求为其配置不同的路由地址,以便IAB node可以针对不同的MBMS业务的数据包采用不同的处理策略。或者,上述路由地址还可以与第一MBMS业务没有关联,仅仅是IAB donor为了表示IAB node而配置的地址,第一MBMS的数据能够根据该路由地址发送至该IAB node即可,对此不做具体限定。
在本申请实施例中,由于IAB node或者该IAB node下的UE可以上报对多个MBMS业务的感兴趣指示,那么,IAB donor也可以为IAB node配置多个路由地址,每个路由地址与不同的MBMS业务对应,或者,IAB donor也可以为IAB node配置一个路由地址,该 路由地址与多个MBMS业务对应。
S303:IAB donor将第二信息分别发送给相应的IAB node;
IAB donor在通过上述S301和S302为IAB node配置对应的第二信息后,分别将第二信息通过F1接口的控制信令或者通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令发送给相应的IAB node。
至此,IAB donor完成了对IAB node的配置过程。
在上述配置过程中,IAB donor CU对IAB node进行配置,并将配置好的第二信息发送给IAB node。
接下来,上述IAB系统进行数据传输,下面以下行传输为例进行说明,上行传输过程与之类似。
图4为本申请实施例中的数据传输方法的第一种流程示意图,参见图4中实线所示,该方法可以包括:
S401:IAB donor CU接收来自核心网的第一数据包;
其中,第一数据包为第一MBMS业务的数据包。
在本申请实施例中,核心网会为每个MBMS业务配置相应的指示信息,该指示信息可以包括以下至少一个:IPV6流标签、差分服务代码点(differentiated services code point,DSCP)标识、目的IP地址、MBMS业务的业务标识。当然,上述指示信息还可以包括其他信息,对此不做具体限定。上述指示信息可以包含在数据包中或者承载在单独的控制信令中。
进一步地,上述目的IP地址可以为组播IP地址,即为多个IAB node分配的相同对的IP地址,该组播IP地址可以用于MBMS业务的发送与接收。
S402:IAB donor CU将第一数据包发送给IAB donor DU;
这里,IAB donor CU在执行S402时可以将上述指示信息携带在第一数据包的包头发送给IAB donor DU,当然,也可以通过独立的控制信令,如FI接口信令,由IAB donor CU发送给IAB donor DU。当然,还可以采用其他的方式发送上述指示信息,本申请实施例不做具体限定。
S403:IAB donor DU为第一数据包配置第一信息;
在一些可能的实施方式中,IAB donor CU可以预先向IAB donor DU发送对应于不同MBMS业务的上述指示信息与路由信息的映射关系,也就是说IAB donor CU为不同的MBMS业务分配第五信息,第五信息可以包括路由地址(如BAP地址或者第一地址)和/或MBMS业务的业务标识,第一地址为IAB donor CU为IAB node1分配的仅用于表示IAB node1的地址。
那么,IAB donor DU接收到第一数据包后,可以根据第一数据包或者第一MBMS业 务对应的第一指示信息以及上述映射关系(第一指示信息即为对应于第一MBMS业务的上述指示信息),确定第一信息,并为第一数据包的包头(如BAP包头)添加该第一信息。具体来说,IAB donor DU根据上述映射关系进行查询,查找到与第一指示信息对应的第一信息,然后,IAB donor DU将第一信息添加在第一数据包的包头中。
在一些可能的实施方式中,第一信息可以包括第一MBMS业务的路由地址(如BAP地址或者第二地址)和/或第一MBMS业务的业务标识。
S404:IAB donor DU向IAB node 1发送携带第一信息的第一数据包;
IAB donor CU可以为IAB donor DU配置路由信息与下一跳IAB node的映射关系,该映射关系用于IAB donor DU确定下一跳IAB node。IAB donor DU确定第一信息之后,可以根据根据第一信息以及该映射关系确定下一跳IAB node。下一跳IAB node根据IAB donor CU配置的路由信息继续寻找下一跳IAB node,依次类推。在经过若干个IAB node以后,携带第一信息的第一数据包会到达IAB node 1。
S405:IAB node 1判断第一数据包携带的第一信息和自身的第二信息是否匹配;若是,执行S406;若否,执行S407;
IAB node 1对第一数据包中的第一信息和自身的第二信息进行比对,判断两者是否匹配。例如,IAB node 1将第一数据包中的BAP地址与IAB donor为IAB node 1配置的BAP地址进行比对看两者是否匹配,当然,也可以理解为判断第一数据包中的BAP地址与IAB donor为IAB node 1配置的BAP地址是否一致,如果相匹配(一致),则在执行S406,反之,执行S407;或者,IAB node 1还可以将第一数据包中的第一MBMS业务的业务标识与IAB donor为IAB node 1配置的第二MBMS业务的业务标识进行比对看两者是否匹配,如果相匹配(一致),则在执行S406,反之,执行S407。
S406::IAB node 1将第一数据包发送给IAB node 1下面的至少一个UE;
在S401至S407中,IAB node 1所执行的步骤可以是由IAB node 1中的BAP实体(BAP层)来执行的,那么,在S406中,IAB node 1的BAP实体移除第一数据包的BAP包头,并传输给自身的高层,如IP层,由IP层进一步地处理,如进行IP筛选,读取IP包头中的数据包信息等,之后将将第一数据包以单播或者组播的方式发送给IAB node 1下的UE。
在一些可能的实施方式中,由于同一MBMS业务的数据包是发送给多个IAB node的,那么,数据包中的IP地址有可能与其中的某些IAB node的IP地址不匹配,此时,数据包很可能在IP层被丢弃,那么,为了避免数据包被IAB node丢弃,那么,在执行S406时,BAP实体可以指示IP层不对第一数据包进行第一处理,使得IP层忽略IP地址的差异,进而使得该IAB node能够将第一数据包发送给UE,而不是由于IP地址不匹配而丢弃。
在本申请实施例中,上述第一处理可以包括:根据第一数据包携带的IP地址对第一数据包进行筛选或者丢弃第一数据包,也就是说,BAP实体可以向IP层发送第二指示信息, 该第二指示信息可以指示IP层不对第一数据包进行IP地址筛选或者不丢弃第一数据包。
当然,在本申请其他实施例中,在上述配置过程中,IAB donor还可以为IAB node配置至少一个IP地址,那么,在执行S406时,如果第一数据包的IP地址与上述至少一个IP地址均不匹配,IAB node还可以将第一数据包的IP地址修改为至少一个IP地址中的第一IP地址,这样IP层在执行处理的时候,由于IP地址是匹配的,就不会丢弃第一数据包。
在具体实施过程中,BAP实体还可以采用其他方式来避免第一数据包被IAB node 1丢弃,对此不做具体限定。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在上述配置过程中,IAB donor还可以为IAB node 1配置与MBMS业务对应的一个或者多个组播IP地址(第四信息),那么,在IAB node 1的BAP实体可以将第一数据包发送给IP层,IP层将第一数据包中携带的目的IP地址(组播IP地址)与为IAB node 1配置的一个或者多个组播IP地址进行筛选,如果存在相匹配的组播IP地址,则IP层认为该第一数据包为自身需要接收的数据包,并将第一数据包发送给UE,反之,IP层认为第一数据包不是自身需要接收的数据包,则可以丢弃第一数据包。
S407:IAB node 1将第一数据包发送给N个下一跳IAB node(即IAB node 2)。
这里,IAB node 1在通过S405确定第一信息和第二信息不匹配后,可以确定第一数据包不是发送给自己或者自己下面的UE的数据包,那么,IAB node1就需要将第一数据包转发给下一跳IAB node,而并不发送给接入IAB node 1的UE。
IAB node 1可以与N个IAB node 2连接,N为正整数,那么,IAB node 1在确定第一数据包不是发送给自己的数据包之后,要将第一数据包转发给下一跳IAB node,此时,IAB node 1需要先确定下一跳IAB node。由于在上述IAB系统为两条跳回传场景下的IAB系统,那么,对于IAB node 1来说,N个IAB node2就是其所有的下一跳IAB node,那么,IAB node 1将第一数据包发送给N个IAB node 2。
进一步地,为了保证数据的有效传输,在确定下一跳IAB node时,可以选择自身所有下一跳IAB node中可用的N个IAB node,例如,IAB node 1与M个IAB node 2连接,M为大于N的正整数,IAB node 1可以将M个IAB node 2中可用的N个IAB node 2确定为下一跳IAB node。反之,如果IAB node 1的下一跳IAB node均为不可用的,那么,IAB node1丢弃第一数据包。
需要说明的是,上述“可用的”是指可达的,也就是说,如果某一个IAB node是可用的,就表示该IAB node可以完成正常传输,相反的,如果某一个IAB node是不可用的,就表示该IAB node可能由于无线链路质量太差、无线链路断开或者无线链路失败等原因导致无法满足传输需求。
在本申请实施例中,IAB node 1执行在S405确定第一信息和第二信息不匹配之后,还可以进一步判断IAB node 1是否存在下一跳IAB node,如果IAB node 1不存在下一跳IAB  node,此时,IAB node1可以为IAB系统中的最边缘或者最后的节点,此时,IAB node1可以丢弃第一数据包。
在一些可能的实施例中,S407还可以包括:IAB node 1根据第一信息确定N个下一跳IAB node(IAB node 2);
IAB node 1在确定转发第一数据包给下一跳IAB node之后,还可以根据第一数据包中的第一信息(如BAP地址),将与自身连接的IAB node2中与该BAP地址相匹配的N个IAB node2确定为下一跳IAB node,并将第一数据包发送给N个IAB node 2。
进一步地,第一信息还可以包括PATH ID,那么,IAB node 1进一步根据PATH ID确定下一跳IAB node。IAB node 1可以将与自身连接的IAB node2中与第一数据包中的BAP地址和PATH ID都匹配的N个IAB node2确定为下一跳IAB node,并将第一数据包发送给N个IAB node 2。
需要说明的是,在上述通信系统中数据包可以分为两类:单播业务的数据包和组播业务的数据包,两种业务数据包使用不同的数据包格式。
图5为本申请实施例中的一种单播业务数据包BAP包头格式的示意图,参见图5所示,其中,R(reserved)为预留域,T域(可以称为Type域),由于单播业务数据包的格式与组播业务数据包的格式不同,所以用T域用来指示该数据包为单播业务数据包还是组播业务数据包,BAP address域也可以称为DESTINATION域,指示该数据包对应的BAP地址,Data域为该数据包对应的负载(例如IP包),D/C域用来指示该数据包为控制PDU还是数据PDU,PATH ID域也可以称为PATH域,用来指示path ID。图6为本申请实施例中的一种组播业务数据包BAP包头格式的示意图,参见图6所示,与单播业务不同的是,当数据包为组播业务数据包的时候,BAP address域用于指示组播业务对应的BAP address,可以称为BAP address M。
在本申请实施例中,通过上述S407的实施,整个配置过程以及各个IAB基站的处理复杂度降低,同时MBMS业务数据包的包头格式简化,传输开销降低。
在一些可能的实施方式中,IAB node 1还可以获得第三信息,第三信息用于表示PATH ID与下一跳IAB node之间的映射关系。进一步地,第二信息和第三信息也可以共同表示路由地址和PATH与下一跳IAB node之间的映射关系。在实际应用中,第三信息可以是由IAB donor在上述配置过程中为IAB node1配置的,也可以是IAB node自己预置或者创建的。IAB node 1根据第三信息,查询与第一数据包中的路由地址和PATH ID中至少一个PATH ID都匹配的N个IAB node 2,即下一跳IAB node,并将第一数据包发送给N个IAB node 2。
在具体实施过程中,第三信息可以包括:MBMS业务对应的路由地址(如BAP地址)、PATH ID、下一跳IAB node的路由地址(如BAP地址)和PATH ID;或者,第三信息还 可以包括:链路标识,链路标识为与下一跳IAB node对应的出口链路的标识,该链路标识可以是由IAB donor为IAB node1配置的,也可以是IAB node 1根据IAB donor为IAB node1配置的MBMS业务对应的路由地址(如BAP地址)、PATH ID、下一跳IAB node的路由地址(如BAP地址)和PATH ID等自行创建的。当然,链路标识还可以存在其他的获得方式,对比不做具体限定。
需要说明的是,在IAB donor为IAB node 1配置第三信息的情况下,上述通信系统中的数据包可以分为两类:单播业务的数据包和组播业务的数据包,两种业务数据包共用相同的数据包格式;不同组播业务的数据包的BAP包头携带与各组播业务对应的BAP地址和/或PATH ID,而不同单播业务的数据包的BAP包头携带各目的IAB node对应的BAP地址和/或PATH ID。
其中,IAB node对应的BAP地址在每个IAB node上各不相同,而且可以对应多种单播业务,而组播业务对应的BAP地址可以同时配置给多个不同的IAB node,每个BAP地址对应一种组播业务或者多种组播业务。
图7为本申请实施例中的一种BAP包头格式的示意图,参见图7所示,其中R(reserved)为预留域,BAP address域也可以称为DESTINATION域,指示该数据包对应的BAP地址,Data域为该数据包对应的负载(例如IP包),D/C域用来指示该数据包为控制PDU还是数据PDU,PATH ID域也可以称为PATH域,用来指示PATH ID。
在本申请实施例中,由于IAB donor为IAB node 1配置了MBMS业务对应的公共路由地址(如第二信息和第三信息),可以避免MBMS业务数据包走冗余路径进行传输,使得整个传输过程简洁高效。
那么,在上述S407中,IAB node1在寻找下一跳IAB node的时候,还可以首先根据第三信息查询有没有路由地址和PATH ID中的至少一个PATH ID匹配的N个IAB node 2(即下一跳IAB node),如果有,IAB node1将第一数据包发送给这N个IAB node 2;如果没有路由地址和至少一个PATH ID都匹配的,则查询有没有路由地址匹配的N个IAB node2,如果有,IAB node1将第一数据包发送给这N个IAB node 2;如果既没有路由地址匹配的也没有至少一个PATH ID匹配的IAB node 2,则IAB node 1可以丢弃该第一数据包或者将第一数据包发送给与IAB node 1连接的所有IAB node 2,即IAB node 1的所有下一跳IAB node。
需要说明的是,在IAB node 1将第一数据包发送给N个IAB node 2之前,还可以对第一数据包进行复制,获得包括原有的第一数据包(即来自IAB donor的第一数据包)在内的N份第一数据包,这N份第一数据包与原有的第一数据包是一模一样的。然后,IAB node 1将这N份第一数据包分别发送给N个IAB node 2。当然,IAB node 1还可以将来自IAB donor的第一数据包通过N次发送分别发送给N个IAB node 2。
至此,实现了在IAB系统中传输下行MBMS业务。
在本申请实施例中,参见图4中虚线所示,IAB node 1在执行S405确定第一数据包的第一信息和自身的第二信息相匹配之后,还可以执行S408:IAB node 1将第一数据包发送给IAB node1下的至少一个UE以及N个IAB node 2。
需要说明的是,这里的N个IAB node 2与上述实施例中的N个IAB node 2一致,在此不再赘述。
IAB node 1在确定第一数据包的第一信息与自身的第二信息相匹配时,可以将第一数据包同时发送给接入IAB node1的UE以及N个IAB node 2。具体来说,IAB node 1可以将第一数据包进行复制,获得包括原有的第一数据包(即来自IAB donor的第一数据包)在内的N+1份第一数据包,这N+1份第一数据包与原有的第一数据包是一模一样的。然后,IAB node 1将这N+1份第一数据包中的1份第一数据包发送给UE并将另外的N份第一数据包分别发送给N个IAB node 2。当然,IAB node 1还可以将来自IAB donor的第一数据包通过N+1次发送分别发送给UE和N个IAB node 2。
在本申请另一实施例中,图8为本申请实施例中的数据传输方法的第二种流程示意图,参见图8所示,该方法可以包括:
S801:IAB donor CU接收来自核心网的第一数据包;
S802:IAB donor CU将第一数据包发送给IAB donor DU;
S803:IAB donor DU向IAB node 1发送第一数据包;
S804:IAB node 1将第一数据包发送给N个下一跳IAB node(即IAB node 2)。
在S801至S804中,IAB donor CU无需为第一数据包配置第一信息,而是可以直接将第一数据包发送给IAB node 1,并由IAB node 1转发给N个IAB node 2。也就是说,IAB node1无需对第一数据包的第一信息与IAB node1的第二信息进行匹配,而是直接将第一数据包转发给N个IAB node2。
在图4和图8所示的实施例中,IAB donor无需针对MBMS业务额外配置BAP地址,另外通过接入链路传输MBMS业务可以降低回传链路的负载。
在本申请实施例中,还提供一种数据传输方法,该方法可以应用于上述IAB系统。
图9为本申请实施例中的数据传输方法的第三种流程示意图,参见图9所示,该方法可以包括:
S901:IAB donor CU接收来自核心网的第二数据包;
这里,第二数据包为第三MBMS业务的数据包,第二数据包可以与第一数据包相同,也可以不同。
S902:IAB donor CU将第二数据包发送给IAB donor DU;
S903:IAB donor DU以单播或者组播的方式向IAB node 1MT发送第二数据包;
S904:IAB node 1 MT将第一数据包发送给IAB node 1 DU;
S905:IAB node 1 DU以单播或者组播的方式向UE和/或IAB node 2 MT发送第二数据包。
上述S901至S905可以为:IAB donor或者上一跳IAB node通过单播或者组播的方式将第三MBMS业务的第二数据包发送给自身下的至少一个UE以及第一级IAB node(如IAB node1),第一级IAB node在收到第二数据包之后,还可以再通过单播或者组播的方式发送给自身下的至少应UE以及第二级IAB基站(如IAB node2)。
具体来说,IAB node从上一级IAB node以单播或者组播的方式接收到第二数据包以后,可以经过该IAB node MT中的物理(PHY)层、介质访问控制(MAC)层的处理后再通过IAB node DU中的MAC层、PHY层处理后发送出去;也可以经过IAB node MT中的PHY层、MAC层、无线链路控制(RLC)层的处理后再通过IAB node DU中的RLC层、MAC层、PHY层处理后发送出去,当然,还可以通过两个模块中PDCP层的处理再发送出去,以此类推,不再赘述。
在本申请实施例中,上述S905中通过组播传输方式发送是指:IAB donor CU或上一跳IAB node DU在发送PDU会话对应的TB时,采用G-RNTI对PDU进行加扰,或对PDU对应的DCI进行加扰,一个或多个IAB node MT或UE根据相同的G-RNTI对同一PDU进行接收;或者IAB donor CU或IAB node DU通过半静态方式通知多个IAB node MT同一PDU的时域或者频域的位置,多个IAB node MT或UE可以同时对该PDU进行接收;或者,IAB donor CU或IAB node DU在为组播传输建立的无线承载中传输或者在专门为组播设计的信道(如MCCH/MTCH信道)中进行传输该PDU。
相应地,上述S903中通过组播的方式接收是指:IAB donor CU或上一跳IAB node DU采用组播方式发送的时候,多个IAB node MT或UE中的某一个根据G-RNTI对PDU进行接收;或者,多个IAB node MT或UE中的某一个通过为组播传输建立的无线承载接收或者在用于组播传输的信道上进行接收PDU。
在一些可能的实施方式中,如果IAB node要从上一级IAB node通过组播的方式接收MBMS业务的数据包,IAB donor就需要将上一级IAB node发送组播的配置信息发送给该IAB node。在本申请实施例中,该配置信息可以包括如第三MBMS业务对应的G-RNTI、接收第二数据包的时域位置信息、接收第二数据包的频域位置信息等信息,还可以包括如接收第三MBMS业务的物理信道、传输信道以及逻辑信道等信息,对此本申请实施例不做具体限定。
在实际应用中,上述配置信息可以IAB donor通过F1接口控制信令发送给该IAB node或者通过RRC信令发送给该IAB node。
作为一种可能的实现方式,IAB node还可以从上一级IAB node通过单播的方式接收 第二数据包,然后通过组播的方式向下一级IAB node发送第二数据包;或者,IAB node可以从上一级IAB node通过组播的方式接收第二数据包,然后通过单播的方式向下一级IAB node发送第二数据包,对此本申请实施例不作具体限定。
在一些可能的实施方式中,上述图4至图8所示的实施例均为通过回传链路发送MBMS业务的数据包,而图9所示实施例在本质上则是通过接入链路发送MBMS业务的数据包,这两种发送方式可以互相独立执行,即任选其一,也可以由IAB donor指示IAB node通过哪一种方式进行MBMS业务的数据包的传输。
在本申请图9所示的实施例中,IAB donor无需针对MBMS业务额外配置BAP地址,另外通过接入链路传输MBMS业务可以降低回传链路的负载。
基于相同的发明构思,本申请实施例提供一种通信装置,该通信装置可以为数据传输装置或者数据传输装置中的芯片或者片上系统,还可以为数据传输装置中用于实现上诉实施例中IAB node 1所执行的方法的功能模块,所述功能可以通过硬件执行相应的软件实现。所述硬件或软件包括一个或多个上述功能相应的模块。举例来说,图10为本申请实施例中的通信装置的第一种结构示意图,参见图10所示,该通信装置100,可以包括:第一接收模块101,用于接收第一数据包,第一数据包为第一MBMS业务的数据包,第一数据包携带有第一信息;第一发送模块102,用于如果第一网络设备的第二信息与第一信息相匹配,则将第一数据包发送给接入第一网络设备的终端设备,第二信息是为第一网络设备预先配置的。
