Description

状态转换方法及链接态MTCH的指示方法、装置、存储介质、终端、基站
本申请要求2020年6月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010614412.X、发明名称为“状态转换方法及链接态MTCH的指示方法、装置、存储介质、终端、基站”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
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体地涉及一种状态转换方法及链接态MTCH的指示方法、装置、存储介质、终端、基站。
背景技术
对于组播/广播服务(Multicast and Broadcast Services,简称MBS)业务,最近协议讨论,未来可能存在必须要在无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称RRC)链接态才能接收的MBS业务。如果存在这种MBS业务,将导致即使在没有单播(unicast)业务数据传输的情况下,用户设备(User Equipment,简称UE)也不能从RRC链接态转换到空闲态(idle)。
而在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)系统中,MBS业务的接收不会受到UE所处RRC状态的影响,UE即便处于空闲态也能接收MBS业务,所以不会发生上述问题。这也就导致现有技术没有应对MBS业务传输期间UE必须保持RRC链接态的解决方案。事实上,基于现有技术,只要UE没有接收到单播数据超过一定时长就会转换到空闲态。如果此时UE正在进行必须处于RRC链接态的MBS业务,势必导致MBS业务失败,影响UE性能。

对于用户设备侧,本发明实施例还提供一种状态转换方法,包括:若数据非激活定时器到期,且没有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求,将所述状态从RRC链接态转换至空闲态;其中,所述链接态MTCH是指终端需保持在RRC链接态进行接收的MTCH。
采用本实施例方案,UE能够更合理地进行状态转换,以避免影响MBS业务的接收。具体而言,在定时器到期时,执行状态转换操作之前,判断是否具有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求。由此,通过在执行状态转换操作前添加前置判断逻辑,确保定时器到期但具有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求时UE仍能保持在RRC链接态。
对于网络侧,本发明实施例还提供一种链接态MTCH的指示方法,包括:对于链接态MTCH,发送所述链接态MTCH的接收配置信息以指示终端需保持在RRC链接态接收所述链接态MTCH。

具体实施方式
如背景技术所言,现有技术没有应对MBS业务传输期间UE必须保持RRC链接态的解决方案。若MBS业务传输期间UE单播业务数据,UE就会转换到空闲态,导致MBS业务接收失败。
为解决上述技术问题,本发明实施例提供一种状态转换方法,包括:若接收到链接态MTCH传输的数据,启动或重启数据非激活定时器,其中,所述链接态MTCH是指终端需保持在RRC链接态进行接收的MTCH;所述数据非激活定时器到期,将所述状态从RRC链接态转换至空闲态。
采用本实施例方案,UE能够更合理地进行状态转换,以避免影响MBS业务的接收。具体而言,通过监控链接态MTCH上的数据传输来及时设置或重置数据非激活定时器。由此,在MBS业务传输期间数据非激活定时器能够始终保持在未超时状态,确保UE不会在MBS业务未完成时就转换到空闲态。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和有益效果能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施例做详细的说明。
图1是本发明实施例第一种状态转换方法的流程图。
本实施方案可以由用户设备侧执行,如由用户设备侧的UE执行。其中,执行本实施方案的UE配置有数据非激活定时器(data Inactivity Timer),若所述数据非激活定时器超时,UE转入空闲态。
本实施方案可以应用于存在MBS业务的场景,如UE正在接收承载MBS业务数据的逻辑信道中的数据。其中,小区中组播或广播的承载MBS业务数据的逻辑信道可以定义为多播业务信道(Multicast Traffic Channel,简称MTCH),UE在RRC链接态才能从中接收数据的MTCH可以定义为链接态MTCH。
在具体实施中,下述步骤S101~步骤S102所提供的状态转换方法可以由用户设备中的具有状态转换功能的芯片执行,也可以由用户设备中的基带芯片执行。
具体地,参考图1,本实施例所述状态转换方法可以包括如下步骤:
步骤S101,若接收到链接态MTCH传输的数据,启动或重启数据非激活定时器,其中,所述链接态MTCH是指终端需保持在RRC链接态进行接收的MTCH;
步骤S102,若所述数据非激活定时器到期,将所述状态从RRC链接态转换至空闲态。
在一个具体实施中,UE可以配置有一个或多个媒体访问控制(Medium Access Control,简称MAC)实体,其中每一MAC实体负责一个或多个逻辑信道的数据处理。
相应的,所述步骤S101可以包括步骤:所述链接态MTCH对应的MAC实体接收到所述链接态MTCH传输的MAC服务数据单元(MAC Service Data Unit,简称MAC SDU)。
在一个具体实施中,除了链接态MTCH外,如果其他逻辑信道上有数据传输,同样可能触发数据非激活定时器的启动或重启。
例如,所述其他逻辑信道可以包括:专用业务信道(Dedicated Traffic Channel,简称DTCH);专用控制信道(Dedicated Control Channel,简称DCCH);公共控制信道(Common Control Channel,简称CCCH)。这些逻辑信道可以对应相同的MAC实体,也可以对应不同的MAC实体。
相应的,所述步骤S101可以包括步骤:若UE的任何一个MAC实体从DTCH、DCCH、CCCH或链接态MTCH中接收到MAC SDU,则重启或启动所述数据非激活定时器。
在一个具体实施中,所述步骤S102可以包括步骤:释放RRC链接。其中,释放原因可以包括RRC连接失败。由此,既能实现RRC链接的精准释放,又不影响MBS业务的接收。
采用本实施例方案,UE能够更合理地进行状态转换,以避免影响MBS业务的接收。具体而言,通过监控链接态MTCH上的数据传输来及时设置或重置数据非激活定时器。由此,在MBS业务传输期间数据非激活定时器能够始终保持在未超时状态,确保UE不会在MBS业务未完成时就转换到空闲态。
也就是说,采用图1所示实施例方案,只有UE在一定时间内没有接收到链接态MTCH中的MAC SDU(即数据非激活定时器超时)时,UE才会转入空闲态。从而不会影响UE接收链接态MTCH中的MAC SDU。
图2是本发明实施例第二种状态转换方法的流程图。
本实施方案可以由用户设备侧执行,如由用户设备侧的UE执行。其中,执行本实施方案的UE配置有数据非激活定时器(data Inactivity Timer),若所述数据非激活定时器超时,UE转入空闲态。
本实施方案可以应用于存在或可能存在MBS业务的场景,如UE正在接收或有兴趣接收承载MBS业务数据的逻辑信道中的数据。其中,小区中组播或广播的承载MBS业务数据的逻辑信道可以定义为 多播业务信道(Multicast Traffic Channel,简称MTCH),UE在RRC链接态才能从中接收数据的MTCH可以定义为链接态MTCH。
在具体实施中,下述步骤S201所提供的状态转换方法可以由用户设备中的具有状态转换功能的芯片执行,也可以由用户设备中的基带芯片执行。
具体地,参考图2,本实施例所述状态转换方法可以包括如下步骤:
步骤S201,若数据非激活定时器到期,且没有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求,则将所述状态从RRC链接态转换至空闲态。
其中,所述链接态MTCH是指终端需保持在RRC链接态进行接收的MTCH。
具体而言,所述步骤S201可以包括如下步骤:
若数据非激活定时器到期,则判断是否具有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求;进一步,当判断结果为否定的,也即没有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求时,将所述状态从RRC链接态转换至空闲态。
进一步,本实施例所述状态转换方法还可以包括步骤S203,当所述步骤S201的判断结果为肯定的,也即具有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求时,将所述状态维持在RRC链接态。进一步,在结束链接态MTCH上的数据接收后,UE可以从RRC链接态切换至空闲态。
在一个具体实施中,所述对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求可以包括:当前正在接收所述链接态MTCH传输的数据
进一步,所述对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求还可以包括:预备接收链接态MTCH传输的数据。
例如,所述链接态MTCH传输的数据可以是周期性传输的,所 述预备接收链接态MTCH传输的数据可以是指,当前虽然没有接收链接态MTCH上传输的数据,但准备在接下来最近的传输周期内接收所述链接态MTCH传输的数据。
在一个具体实施中,所述数据非激活定时器可以是因UE的任何一个MAC实体从DTCH、DCCH或CCCH接收到MAC SDU而重启或启动的。也即,本实施例从数据非激活定时器被启动或重启后的处理逻辑着手优化UE状态转换时机,虽然数据非激活定时器不会因链接态MTCH上有数据传输而重启或启动,但在数据非激活定时器到期时UE优先判断是否存在对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求,以确保存在或即将存在MBS业务时UE能够精确保持在RRC链接态。尤其对于当前尚未进行,但未来会进行的MBS业务,采用本实施例方案的UE能够主动保持在RRC链接态,避免将来重新建立RRC连接而延误MBS业务的接收。
在一个具体实施中,所述步骤S202可以包括步骤:释放RRC链接,其中,释放原因包括RRC连接失败。由此,既能实现RRC链接的精准释放,又不影响MBS业务的接收。
例如,在步骤S201确定没有MBS业务,或者UE的MBS业务不需要在RRC链接态下进行时,进行RRC释放操作。
由上,采用本实施例方案,UE能够更合理地进行状态转换,以避免影响MBS业务的接收。具体而言,在定时器到期时,执行状态转换操作之前,判断是否具有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求。由此,通过在执行状态转换操作前添加前置判断逻辑,确保定时器到期但具有对链接态MTCH传输的数据的接收需求时UE仍能保持在RRC链接态。
也就是说,采用图2所示方案,如果数据非激活定时器超时,且UE没有兴趣接收或没有正在接收链接态MTCH的数据,则处于RRC链接态的UE转入空闲态。从而保证UE在其他逻辑信道中没有数据的情况下,仍可以成功接收链接态MTCH的数据。
在图1和图2所示实施例的一个共同实施方式中,所述MTCH可以用于承载MBS业务。进一步,所述链接态MTCH可以用于承载需要UE在RRC链接态下进行数据接收的MBS业务。
在图1和图2所示实施例的一个共同实施方式中,所述链接态MTCH至少可以包括:配置有支持混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest,简称HARQ)的反馈指示或配置有HARQ配置信息的MTCH。
例如,所述链接态MTCH的下行数据需要UE进行HARQ反馈,从而UE必须在RRC链接态来接收通过该MTCH传输的数据。此时,该MTCH可以称作链接态MTCH。
再例如,所述链接态MTCH的下行数据传输,需要UE上报其它反馈信息,这同样会使得UE必须保持在RRC链接态。例如UE需要在RRC链接态上报信道状态信息到基站。
在图1和图2所示实施例的一个共同实施方式中,所述状态转换方法还可以包括步骤:接收指示信息,其中,所述指示信息用于指示配置的MTCH是否为链接态MTCH。
例如,所述指示信息可以是专门或公共的信令。
又例如,所述指示信息可以包含于接收配置信息,所述接收配置信息用于指示基站配置给UE的MTCH的相关信息。例如,所述指示信息可以包括RRC状态信息,所述RRC状态信息用于指示接收所述MTCH的UE所处的RRC状态。所述UE的RRC状态包括RRC空闲态(简称空闲态)、RRC非激活(RRC-inactive)态以及RRC链接态。链接态MTCH的接收RRC状态信息仅包含RRC链接态。
进一步地,所述状态转换方法还可以包括步骤:根据MTCH的接收配置信息确定所述MTCH是否为链接态MTCH。
基站和UE可以不额外交互指示信息,所述接收配置信息也不额外增加字段,UE可以根据接收配置信息确定基站配置的MTCH是否 支持HARQ或者是否有配置HARQ配置信息,具体的,MTCH的接收配置信息中包含是否支持HARQ的指示,或者包含MTCH的HARQ配置信息,例如HARQ配置信息可包含HARQ的反馈参数或反馈资源的配置。从而确定该MTCH的接收RRC状态信息是否仅包含RRC链接态。由此可以节省信令开销。
例如,若接收的MTCH配置信息表明基站配置给UE的MTCH配置支持HARQ,则可以确定该MTCH为链接态MTCH。
若接收的MTCH配置信息包含MTCH的HARQ配置信息,则可以确定该MTCH为链接态MTCH。
进一步,所述接收配置信息与MTCH可以是一一对应的。
图3是本发明实施例一种链接态MTCH的指示方法的流程图。
本实施方案可以由网络侧执行,如由网络侧的基站执行。所述基站维持的小区可以支持MBS业务。而在支持MBS业务的小区中可能存在需要UE保持在RRC链接态进行数据接收的MTCH。因此,基站可以预先告知UE配置给UE的MTCH是否为链接态MTCH。
在具体实施中,下述步骤S301所提供的状态转换方法可以由网络设备中的具有状态指示功能的芯片执行,也可以由网络设备中的基带芯片执行。
具体地,参考图3,本实施例所述链接态MTCH的指示方法可以包括如下步骤:
步骤S301,对于链接态MTCH,发送所述链接态MTCH的接收配置信息以指示终端需保持在RRC链接态接收所述链接态MTCH。
更为具体地,在所述步骤S301之前,还可以包括步骤:对于配置的每一MTCH,确定所述MTCH是否为链接态MTCH。若确定为链接态MTCH,则可以针对该MTCH生成对应的接收配置信息,并执行所述步骤S301以发送至UE。
在一个具体实施中,所述步骤S301可以是针对所有MTCH执行的,如遍历配置小区中的所有MTCH,以确定其中每一MTCH是否为链接态MTCH。
在一个具体实施中,所述步骤S301可以包括步骤:通过所述接收配置信息中配置的HARQ配置信息指示终端需保持在RRC链接态接收所述链接态MTCH。
在一个具体实施中,所述步骤S301可以包括步骤:通过所述接收配置信息中配置的支持HARQ的指示来指示终端需保持在RRC链接态接收所述链接态MTCH。
例如,当所述接收配置信息配置有支持HARQ的指示或者配置有HARQ配置信息时,既可以隐式指示该MTCH为链接态MTCH。相应的,对于接收到所述接收配置信息的UE而言,当发现本次配置的MTCH配置有支持HARQ的指示或者有HARQ配置信息时,就可以确定该MTCH为链接态MTCH,在接收该MTCH传输的数据期间需要保持在RRC链接态。
在一个具体实施中,所述步骤S301可以包括步骤:通过所述接收配置信息中包含的接收RRC状态信息,且所述接收RRC状态信息仅包括RRC链接态来指示终端需保持在RRC链接态接收所述链接态MTCH,其中,所述接收RRC状态信息用于指示接收MTCH传输的数据所需的RRC状态。
具体地,可以通过位图(bitmap)指示所述链接态MTCH的接收RRC状态信息仅包含RRC链接态。也即,基站可以通过位图的方式来指示MTCH的接收RRC状态信息是否只包含RRC链接态。
例如,基站可以发送MTCH1、MTCH2、MTCH3、MTCH4和MTCH5的接收配置信息,则可以用一个5比特(bit)的字符串来指示5个MTCH的RRC状态信息分别是否只包含RRC链接态。
假设某比特位置为1,表示对应MTCH的接收RRC状态信息只 包含RRC链接态。相应的,若接收配置信息的字符串为11101,则表示MTCH1、MTCH2、MTCH3和MTCH5的接收RRC状态信息只包含RRC链接态,而MTCH4的接收RRC状态信息不是只包含RRC链接态。
在一个具体实施中,所述步骤S301可以包括步骤:通过系统信息或多播控制信道(Multicast Control Channel,简称MCCH)发送所述链接态MTCH的接收配置信息。
例如,基站可以在系统信息或MCCH中指示每一MTCH的接收RRC状态信息,其中MCCH是指示MTCH的发送周期等接收配置信息的控制信道。
由上,采用本实施例方案,网络通过接收配置信息指示配置给UE的MTCH是否为链接态MTCH,以使UE确定在配置的MTCH上接收数据期间是否必须保持RRC链接态。进一步,接收到所述接收配置信息的UE可以执行上述状态转换方法,以在配置的MTCH为链接态MTCH时精准控制自身状态的切换,避免影响自身对MBS业务的接收。
也就是说,通过网络侧指示MTCH的接收RRC状态信息,使得UE可在合适的RRC状态中接收MTCH的数据,从而可以更好的实现MBS的业务。
