基于上述说明,本申请实施例提出了一种信息发送方法。图2是本申请实施例提供的信息发送方法的示意性流程图,如图2所示,该方法包括:
S202,终端将终端的切片信息发送给网络设备,其中,需要说明的是,此处终端的切片信息可以是终端需求的切片的信息。
通过上述步骤,由终端将终端的切片信息发送给网络设备,终端的切片信息即是终端需求的切片信息,提供了RAN支持网络切片的标准,解决了相关技术中缺乏关于RAN支持网络切片的标准的技术问题,进而可以达到适应技术标准发展的效果。
需要说明的是,该方法中的终端可以是智能终端,例如,可以是一些智能手机、智能汽车、无人机、 机器人等智能终端。还可以是一些可穿戴设备,例如,智能手表,智能手环,智能眼镜等。
作为一种实施例,终端将终端的切片信息发送给网络设备时,终端可以通过多种方式,将终端的切片信息发送给网络设备,例如,终端可以通过无线资源控制RRC消息或随机接入RACH过程中的上行消息,携带切片信息,将切片信息发送给网络设备。其中,上述RRC消息可以是上行专用RRC消息(UL dedicated RRC消息)。
作为一种实施例,原则上,终端的切片信息是由终端发送给网络设备的,只要是终端向网络设备发送的上行消息均可以用于携带终端的切片信息,例如,可以是随机接入RACH过程中的上行消息。为便于对随机接入RACH过程中的上行消息进行说明,在本实施例中,先对随机接入RACH过程进行说明。
在NR中,RACH过程包括两种,一种是legacy)随机接入(4-step RACH),另一种是,两步随机接入过程(2-step RACH),下面分别说明。
legacy随机接入(4-step RACH):
在RACH过程中,在Msg 3中携带触发/建立的原因值。
随机接入过程主要有如下事件触发:
- Initial access from RRC_IDLE;
- RRC Connection Re-establishment procedure;
- Handover;
- DL or UL data arrival during RRC_CONNECTED when UL synchronisation status is"non-synchronised";
- UL data arrival during RRC_CONNECTED when there are no PUCCH resources for SR available;
- SR failure;
- Request by RRC upon synchronous reconfiguration;
- Transition from RRC_INACTIVE;
- To establish time alignment at SCell addition;
- Request for Other SI(see subclause 7.3);
- Beam failure recovery.
在NR中,主要支持两种随机接入方式,基于竞争的随机接入方式和基于非竞争的随机接入方式。
步骤如下:
Step1:终端选择前导码(preamble)和物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,简称为PRACH)资源(时频资源和码域资源):
终端在选择的PRACH时频资源上发送选择的前导码,基站基于前导码可以估计上行时段(Timing),和终端传输消息3所需要的授权(grant)资源的大小(大概知道,不能精确知道)。
Step2:网络发送RAR给终端:
终端发送消息1(Msg1)之后,开启一个RAR window,在该window内监测物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,简称为PDCCH)。该PDCCH采用随机接入无线网络临时标识(Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier,简称为RA-RNTI)加扰。
成功监测到RA-RNTI加扰的PDCCH之后,终端能够获得该PDCCH调度的物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,简称为PDSCH),其中包含RAR(随机接入响应)。
RAR的子头(subheader)中包含BI,用于指示重传消息1的回退时间;
RAR中的RAPID:网络响应收到的前导码索引(preamble index);
RAR的有效载荷(payload)中包含了标签(TAG),用于调整上行时序;
UL grant(上行授权):用于调度Msg3的上行资源指示;
Temporary C-RNTI(临时的小区无线网络临时标识):用于加扰消息4的PDCCH(初始接入);
Step3:终端在调度资源上传输RRC消息
Msg3的消息主要用于通知网络该RACH过程是由什么事件触发。比如,如果是初始接入随机过程,则在Msg3中会携带终端标识和建立原因(establishment cause);如果是RRC重建,则会携带连接态终端标识和重建原因(re-establishment cause);
同时,Msg3携带的终端标识的竞争冲突可以在第四步中得到解决;
Step4:竞争冲突解决
Msg4用于冲突解决。
两步随机接入过程(2-step RACH):
两步RACH可以提高时延,同时也能降低信令开销。图3是本申请实施例提供的两步随机接入过程的示意图,如图3所示,基本的方式是,Msg A传输四步RACH的Msg1+Msg3,Msg B传输四步RACH的Msg2+Msg4。
同样的,在2-step RACH过程中,也会在Msg A中携带触发/建立的原因值。
基于上述说明,作为一种实施例,上行消息可以包括以下至少之一:四步RACH过程中的消息1,四步RACH过程中的消息3,两步RACH过程中的消息A。即通过上述三种上行消息中的至少之一携带终端的切片信息,将终端的切片信息发送给网络设备。
作为一种实施例,通过RRC消息或上行消息中的原因值携带切片信息,其中,RRC消息中的原因值用于表征标准触发RRC消息的原因,上行消息中的原因值用于表征触发RACH过程的原因。其中,RRC消息中的原因值的内容包括切片信息,或,上行消息中的原因值的内容包括切片信息。
作为一种实施例,终端的切片信息可以包括多种,只要能够用于网络设备确定终端需求的网络切片即可。例如,可以包括以下至少之一:终端的切片标识,终端的切片所属的类别,终端的切片的优先级,终端的切片所属的类别的优先级,终端的位置信息,优先选择的公共陆地移动网PLMN标识。
其中,终端的切片标识用于标识终端的切片,即用于标识终端需求的切片。切片标识的形式可以多种,例如,可以采用简单的数字标识,字母标识,文字标识等,还可以采用一些复杂字符等。终端的切片所属的类别可以是基于应用的不同所进行的分类,也可以依据具体网络不同所进行的分类等。终端的切片的优先级,可以是优先使用的切片的等级,例如,可以是等级越高,越能够优先使用。终端的切片所属的类别的优先级,可以是优先使用的切片类别的等级,例如,可以是等级越高,越能够优先使用。
作为一种实施例,在终端将终端的切片信息发送给网络设备之前,还包括:终端接收网络设备发送的指示信息,该指示信息用于指示是否允许终端基于切片信息执行不同的操作,或者,指示是否允许终端上报切片信息。
作为一种实施例,在终端将终端的切片信息发送给网络设备之前,还包括:终端接收网络设备发送的切片指示信息;终端根据切片指示信息确定切片信息。
需要说明的是,切片指示信息可以是用于网络设备向终端指示网络设备能够支持的切片的相关信息。
作为一种实施例,切片指示信息可以包括多种,例如,可以包括以下至少之一:网络设备支持的切片标识,网络设备支持的切片类别,网络设备支持的切片标识与切片类别之间的映射关系,网络设备支持的切片标识的优先级,网络设备支持的切片类别的优先级,网络设备允许切片信息上报的指示,网络设备支持的公共陆地移动网PLMN标识,网络设备支持的切片标识与PLMN标识之间的映射关系,网络设备支持的切片类别与PLMN标识之间的映射关系,网络设备支持的切片所限定的终端数目阈值,PLMN支持的切片所限定的终端数目阈值,会话支持的切片所限定的终端数目阈值,网络设备支持的切片所限定的会话数目阈值,PLMN支持的切片所限定的会话数目阈值。
其中,切片指示信息中与终端的切片信息对应的内容,可以有与终端的切片信息相同的含义。另外,网络设备支持的切片标识,网络设备支持的切片类别,网络设备支持的切片标识的优先级,网络设备支持的切片类别的优先级,网络设备支持的公共陆地移动网PLMN标识,上述对象可以是一个,也可以是多个,例如,可以是包括多个的列表。

作为一种实施例,在网络设备向终端发送判断结果时,可以依据判断结果的不同而执行不同的处理,例如,在判断结果为能够为终端提供终端的切片的情况下,网络设备向终端发送包含能够为终端提供终端的切片的响应消息。即在网络设备确定能够为终端提供终端的切片信息的情况下,才向终端设备发送,否则不进行发送。
作为一种实施例,网络设备根据切片信息判断是否能够为终端提供终端需求的切片可以采用以下方式:网络设备根据切片信息确定终端满足切片条件的情况下,网络设备确定能够为终端提供终端需求的切片。
