Description
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及通信方法及装置。
3GPP Rel-15接入回传一体化(Integrated Access and Backhaul,IAB)中,引入了IAB node(称为IAB节点)和IAB donor(称为IAB宿主节点,或者宿主IAB节点)两个节点。
目前,IAB回传链路(包括IAB节点与IAB节点之间的链路,以及IAB节点与IAB宿主节点之间的链路)是采用新无线(New radio,NR)制式,IAB接入链路(即用户设备与IAB节点之间的链路)采用长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)制式或NR制式。
在最新进展中,IAB链路可以用于跨制式场景,即4G用户设备(LTE UE)或者5G用户设备(NR UE)使用不同制式(如无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)、蓝牙、紫蜂(zigbee))的接入技术接入到IAB节点,由IAB节点通过NR回传链路接入对应的核心网。
在跨制式场景下,如何保证不同设备之间的正常通信,有待解决。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供通信方法及装置,用以保障跨制式场景下,不同设备之间的正常通信。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,包括:用户设备UE确定上行数据对应的第一信息,所述第一信息用于标识所述上行数据在第一制式下对应的业务类型或承载;所述UE根据所述第一信息,确定第二信息,所述第二信息用于标识所述上行数据在第二制式下对应的业务类型或承载,所述第二制式与所述第一制式不同;所述UE根据所述第二信息,使用第二制式的空口技术发送所述上行数据。
在现有技术中,UE采用相同的制式接入网络(比如均为第一制式,具体可以是NR或LTE,即:LTE UE通过LTE制式接入网络,NR UE通过NR制式接入网络),UE根据第一信息使用第一制式的空口技术发送上行数据。然而在UE跨制式接入的场景下,即第一制式的UE通过第二制式的空口技术接入网络(比如第二制式为WLAN,即:LTE UE或者NR UE通过WLAN制式接入网络),由于第二制式不识别第一信息,无法进行数据传输的QoS保障,因此,UE无法根据第一信息使用第二制式的空口技术进行QoS保障的上行数据发送。为此,本申请UE根据第一信息得到第二制式能够识别的第二信息,从而UE可以根据第二信息使用第二制式的空口技术发送上行数据,确保了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据传输的QoS保障。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述第一信息为数据无线承载标识DRB ID、演进的通用陆基无线接入网无线接入承载标识E-RAB ID或服务质量流标识QFI中的一种。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述第二信息为差分服务代码点DSCP或流标签。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述第一制式为长期演进LTE或新无线NR,所述第二制式为无线局域网WLAN、蓝牙或紫蜂zigbee中的一种。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述UE根据第一信息,确定第二信息,包括:所述UE根据配置的所述第一信息与所述第二信息的映射关系,确定所述第一信息对应的所述第二信息。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述UE从接入回传一体化IAB宿主节点接收无线资源控制RRC消息,所述RRC消息中携带所述第一信息和所述第二信息,其中,所述第一信息和所述第二信息对应。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述UE包括适配层,所述UE的适配层向所述适配层的下层发送所述第二信息;所述UE根据所述第二信息,使用第二制式的空口技术发送所述上行数据,包括:所述适配层的下层根据所述第二信息,使用第二制式的空口发送所述上行数据。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述UE的适配层向所述适配层的下层发送所述第二信息,包括:所述适配层向所述适配层的下层发送控制信息,所述控制信息用于指示所述第二信息。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述UE的适配层向所述适配层的下层发送所述第二信息,包括:所述适配层为所述上行数据添加适配层头,所述适配层头携带所述第二信息;所述适配层向所述适配层的下层发送适配层包,所述适配层包携带所述适配层头。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述适配层头还携带所述第一信息。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,包括:接入回传一体化IAB节点接收来自用户设备UE的数据包,所述数据包携带上行数据,以及携带第一信息和/或第二信息,所述第一信息用于标识所述上行数据在第一制式下对应的业务类型或承载,所述第二信息用于标识所述上行数据在第二制式下对应的业务类型或承载,所述第二制式与所述第一制式不同;所述IAB节点为所述UE的接入IAB节点;所述IAB节点根据所述第一信息或所述第二信息,确定通用分组无线服务隧道协议GTP隧道的隧道标识;所述IAB节点将所述上行数据映射到所述隧道标识对应的GTP隧道中发送至IAB宿主节点(或者理解为所述IAB节点向IAB宿主节点发送映射到所述隧道标识对应的GTP隧道中的所述上行数据)。其中,所述隧道标识包括GTP TEID,或者GTP TEID和因特网协议IP地址。
现有技术中,UE是将上行数据通过DRB发送至接入IAB节点,然后接入IAB节点根据配置的GTP隧道和UE DRB的映射关系,将上行数据映射到对应的GTP隧道中。然而,在UE跨制式接入的场景下(比如:LTE UE通过WLAN制式接入IAB节点),UE的WLAN空口并不是将上行数据通过DRB发送至接入IAB节点,因此现有技术中接入IAB节点无法确定接收到的上行数据需要放到哪个GTP隧道。而基于本申请上述方案,可以在数据包中携带第一信息,以及在接入IAB节点上配置第一信息与GTP隧道的隧道标识的映射关系,或者可以在数据包中携带第二信息,以及在接入IAB节点上配置第二信息与GTP隧道的隧道标识的映射关系,从而接入IAB节点可以基于配置的映射关系以及从数据包中获取到的第一信息或第二信息,即可以确定该数据包对应的GTP隧道,从而将上行数据映射到GTP隧道中发送至IAB宿主节点,实现了数据的正确发送,确保了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据传输的QoS保障。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述第一信息为数据无线承载标识DRB ID、演进的通用陆基无线接入网无线接入承载标识E-RAB ID或服务质量流标识QFI中的一种。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述第二信息为差分服务代码点DSCP或流标签。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述第一制式为长期演进LTE或新无线NR,所述第二制式为无线局域网WLAN、蓝牙或紫蜂zigbee中的一种。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述IAB节点根据所述第一信息,确定GTP隧道的隧道标识,包括:所述IAB节点根据配置的所述第一信息与所述隧道标识的映射关系,确定所述第一信息对应的所述隧道标识。

第三方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,包括:接入回传一体化IAB节点接收IAB宿主节点通过通用分组无线服务隧道协议GTP隧道发送的下行数据,所述GTP隧道的隧道标识包括GTP TEID或者GTP TEID和因特网IP地址;所述IAB节点为用户设备UE的接入IAB节点;所述IAB节点确定所述下行数据对应的差分服务代码点DSCP或流标签;所述IAB节点根据所述DSCP或所述流标签,向所述UE发送所述下行数据。
现有技术中,接入IAB节点是将下行数据通过DRB发送至UE。然而,在UE跨制式接入的场景下(比如:LTE UE通过WLAN制式接入IAB节点),接入IAB节点的WLAN空口并不能将下行数据通过DRB发送至UE,因为WLAN制式不识别DRB。为此,本申请上述方案,接入IAB节点可以获取到下行数据包对应的DSCP或流标签,并根据DSCP或流标签向UE发送下行数据。由于WLAN制式能识别DSCP或流标签,从而实现了下行数据的正确发送,确保了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据传输的QoS保障。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述IAB节点确定所述下行数据对应的DSCP或流标签,包括:所述IAB节点根据所述隧道标识,以及所述隧道标识与所述DSCP的映射关系,确定所述DSCP;或者,所述IAB节点根据所述隧道标识,以及所述隧道标识与所述流标签的映射关系,确定所述流标签。
在一种可能的实现方法中,所述IAB节点从所述IAB宿主节点接收所述隧道标识和所述DSCP,其中,所述隧道标识与所述DSCP对应;或者,所述IAB节点从所述IAB宿主节点接收所述隧道标识和所述流标签,其中,所述隧道标识与所述流标签对应。

第六方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,包括:IAB节点确定用户设备UE的类型或所述UE待接入的核心网的类型;所述IAB节点为所述UE的接入IAB节点;所述IAB节点向IAB宿主节点发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述UE的类型,或用于指示所述UE待接入的核心网的类型,或用于指示所述UE是否接入NR核心网,或用于指示所述UE是否接入LTE核心网,所述第一指示信息用于所述IAB宿主节点为所述UE选择接入的核心网。
基于上述方案,解决了IAB宿主节点如何为UE选择对应的核心网设备的问题,从而使得在跨制式接入场景下IAB宿主节点根据接收到的指示信息为UE选择对应的核心网,可以保证UE接入网络后的正常操作,保障了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据的正常传输。

第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)Rel-15 NR中,gNB可以采用集中式单元(Central Unit,CU)-分布式单元(Distributed Unit,DU)分离架构,即:gNB由一个gNB-CU以及一个或者多个gNB-DU组成。其中,gNB-CU与gNB-DU之间通过F1接口相连,gNB-CU与第五代(5th generation,5G)核心网之间通过NG接口相连。如图1所示,为NR中gNB-CU和gNB-DU分离架构图。
gNB是为用户设备(User Equipment,UE)提供NR用户面和控制面传输的节点,gNB包含一个或者多个小区。gNB通过NG接口连接到5G核心网(5G core,5GC),并通过Xn接口与其它gNB相连。其中,Xn-C接口用于两个gNB之间控制面信令的传输,Xn-U接口用于两个gNB之间用户面数据的传输。gNB与UE之间的接口称为Uu接口。其中,UE与基站(如gNB、eNB)或者接入IAB节点的DU之间的通信接口可以称为空口。
gNB-CU是一个逻辑节点,gNB-CU包含gNB的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)层、业务数据适配协议(Service Data Adaptation Protocol,SDAP)层和分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层,用于控制一个或者多个gNB-DU。
gNB-DU是一个逻辑节点,gNB-DU包含gNB的无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)层和物理层(Physical layer,PHY)层。一个gNB-DU支持一个或者多个小区,但一个小区只能属于一个gNB-DU。
UE通过gNB-DU接入gNB-CU,即:与UE对等的PHY/MAC/RLC层功能位于gNB-DU上,与UE对等的PDCP/SDAP/RRC层功能位于gNB-CU上。
如图2所示,为gNB采用CU-DU分离架构下的控制面协议栈示意图。对控制面而言,上行(uplink,UL)方向上,gNB-DU将UE生成的RRC消息封装在F1接口应用协议(F1 Application Protocol,F1AP)消息中发送到gNB-CU。下行(downlink,DL)方向上,gNB-CU将RRC消息封装在F1AP消息中发送到gNB-DU,gNB-DU从F1AP消息中提取出RRC消息映射到Uu接口对应的信令无线承载(signalling radio bearer,SRB)(SRB0/SRB1/SRB2)上发送给UE。
如图3所示,为gNB采用CU-DU分离架构下的用户面协议栈示意图。对用户面而言,UL方向上,gNB-DU将从Uu接口数据无线承载(Data Radio Bearer,DRB)上收到的UE数据包映射到对应的通用分组无线服务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)隧道协议(GPRSTunnelingProtocol,GTP)隧道中发送到gNB-CU。DL方向上,gNB-CU将UE数据包映射到对应的GTP隧道中发送到gNB-DU,gNB-DU从GTP隧道中提取出UE数据包,并将该UE数据包映射到Uu接口对应的DRB上发送给UE。
3GPP Rel-15IAB中,引入了IAB node(称为IAB节点)和IAB donor(称为IAB宿主节点,或者宿主IAB节点)两个节点。其中,IAB donor可以是gNB,或者升级后的gNB。
如图4所示,为两跳数据回传场景示意图。其中,回传简称BH。IAB网络采用CU-DU分离架构,即:IAB donor由IAB donor-CU(简称donor-CU)和IAB donor-DU(简称donor-DU)两部分组成,IAB node由IAB node-MT(简称IAB-MT)和IAB node-DU(简称IAB-DU)两部分组成。其中,IAB node-MT又可以称为IAB node-UE(简称IAB-UE)。
对IAB donor而言,donor-DU与gNB-DU的功能类似,donor-CU与gNB-CU的功能 类似。
对IAB node而言,IAB-DU与gNB-DU的功能类似,用于为其子节点提供接入服务,其中,IAB-DU的子节点可以是UE,也可以是其他IAB node。IAB-MT具有UE的功能,用于为其子节点提供数据回传。
IAB node进一步又可以分为接入IAB node和中间IAB node,即:UE接入的IAB节点称为接入IAB node,接入IAB node和IAB donor之间路径上的IAB node称为中间IAB node。
如图4所示,UE接入IAB node2,则IAB node2称为UE的接入IABnode(或者UE的父节点),UE称为IAB node2的子节点,UE和IAB node2之间的链路称为接入链路。IAB node1称为中间IAB node,IAB node1的父节点为IAB donor(IAB donor的子节点为IAB node1),IAB node1的子节点为IAB node2(IAB node2的父节点为IAB node1)。IAB node1和IAB node2之间的链路,以及IAB node1和IAB donor之间的链路均称为回传链路。其中,与UE对等的PHY层、MAC层和RLC层位于接入IAB node上(即:IAB2-DU),而与UE对等的PDCP层、SDAP层和RRC层位于donor-CU上。IAB node均采用L2数据转发的架构。
如图5所示,为两跳数据回传的控制面协议栈示意图。接入IAB node(即:IAB2-DU)和IAB donor(即:donor-CU)之间建立F1接口。具体的,如果IAB donor采用CP-UP分离架构,则IAB2-DU和donor CU-CP之间建立F1-C接口。UE的RRC消息封装在F1-C接口的F1AP消息中传输。
如图6所示,为两跳数据回传的用户面协议栈示意图。如果IAB donor采用CP-UP分离架构,则IAB2-DU和donor CU-UP之间建立F1-U接口,并在该F1-U接口上建立per UE bearer的GTP隧道。也就是说,UE和IAB2-DU之间接口上建立的每一个UE DRB,在IAB2-DU和donor CU-UP之间接口上对应一个单独的GTP隧道。
如图7所示,为两跳数据回传中的数据传输示意图。UE和IAB node2之间接口链路上建立多个UE DRB,用于传输UE不同的业务。IAB node2和IAB node1之间回传链路上建立多个回传RLC信道(Backhaul RLC Channel,BH RLC CH),用于传输UE不同业务的回传。同理,IAB node1和IAB donor之间回传链路上也建立多个BH RLC CH。IAB node2和IAB donor CU之间建立per UE bearer的GTP隧道,每个GTP隧道与UE和IAB node2之间接口上的UE DRB一一对应。
在下行方向:
1)、Donor-CU将UE PDCP协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)映射到对应的GTP隧道上,确定该UE数据包的目标因特网协议(internet protocol,IP)地址(即IAB node2的IP地址),将该UE数据包进一步封装成IP包,并在IP头字段中打上对应的差分服务代码点(Differentiated Services Code Point,DSCP)或流标签(flow label),以及填上IP包的目标IP地址后,通过IP路由方式发送到Donor-DU。其中,DSCP用于在因特网协议版本4(Internet Protocol version 4,IPv4)中标识业务的类型,flow label用于在因特网协议版本6(Internet Protocol version 6,IPv6)中标识业务的类型。
2)、Donor-DU根据IP头中携带的DSCP或flow label以及目标IP地址,并根据Donor-CU配置的映射关系1,将收到的UE IP包映射到对应的BH RLC CH上发送给IAB node1。其中,Donor-CU为Donor-DU配置的映射关系1包括:参数和BH RLC CH的映射关系,该参数由以下一种或者多种组合组成,包括:DSCP、flow label、目标IP地址。
3)、IAB node1根据Donor-CU配置的映射关系2,将收到的UE IP包映射到对应的BH RLC CH上发送给IAB node2。其中,Donor-CU为IAB node1配置的映射关系2包括:ingress BH RLC CH(入口BH RLC CH)和egress BH RLC CH(出口BH RLC CH)的映射关系。ingress BH RLC CH为IAB node1和IAB donor DU之间的BH RLC CH,egress BH RLC CH为IAB node1和IAB node2之间的BH RLC CH。
4)、IAB node2将收到的UE IP包送到GTP层解析后,从GTP隧道中提取UE PDCP PDU,并根据Donor-CU配置的GTP隧道和UE DRB的映射关系,将UE PDCP PDU映射到对应的UE DRB上发送给UE。
在上行方向:
1)、UE将UE PDCP PDU映射到对应的UE DRB上发送到IAB node2。
2)、IAB node2根据Donor-CU配置的GTP隧道和UE DRB的映射关系,将UE PDCP PDU映射到对应的GTP隧道中。然后,IAB node2再根据Donor-CU配置的映射关系3,将UE数据包进一步封装成IP包后映射到对应的BH RLC CH上发送给IAB node1。其中,Donor-CU配置的映射关系3包括:GTP隧道(即:GTP TEID和IP地址)和BH RLC CH的映射关系,IP地址为donor-CU的IP地址。
3)、IAB node1根据Donor-CU配置的映射关系4,将收到的UE IP包映射到对应的BH RLC CH上发送给Donor-DU。其中,Donor-CU为IAB node1配置的映射关系4包括:ingress BH RLC CH(入口BH RLC CH)和egress BH RLC CH(出口BH RLC CH)的映射关系。ingress BH RLC CH为IAB node2和IAB node1之间的BH RLC CH,egress BH RLC CH为IAB node1和IAB donor DU之间的BH RLC CH。
4)、Donor-DU根据UE IP包头中的目标IP地址(即:Donor-CU的IP地址),将UE IP包进一步路由到Donor-CU。Donor-CU将IP包送到GTP层解析后,从GTP隧道中提取出UE PDCP PDU。
上述方案中,存在以下问题需要解决:
问题1、现有技术中,接入链路和回传链路使用相同的接入制式,均为NR接入制式,没有考虑在不同接入制式场景下如何实现UE数据传输的承载映射,包括上行方向和下行方向,从而实现UE业务在整个数据传输过程中的QoS保障。
比如,LTE UE或NR UE通过非3GPP(non-3GPP)接入网络的场景下,其中,non-3GPP包括:WLAN接入制式、蓝牙接入制式、zigbee接入制式等,如何实现UE上行和下行数据传输的承载映射,从而实现UE业务在整个数据传输过程中的QoS保障。
问题2、在不同接入制式的场景下,如何保证回传链路上UE数据的按序接收。
问题3、在不同接入制式的场景下,如何为不同类型的UE选择接入的核心网设备。
问题4、在不同接入制式的场景下,如何获知UE空口使用的接入制式。
本申请实施例的发明点主要包括:
第一,为解决上述问题1,改进点主要如下:
1)、UE执行上行承载映射,Donor-CU为UE配置以下至少一种映射关系:
对于LTE UE而言,映射关系为DRB ID/E-RAB ID<->DSCP/flow label。其中“/”是或的意思,因此可以配置以下四种映射关系中的至少一种:a)DRB ID<->DSCP,b)DRB ID<->flow label,c)E-RAB ID<->DSCP,d)E-RAB ID<->flow label。其中,E-RAB是演进的通用陆基无线接入网(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN)-无线接入承载(Radio Access Bearer)。
对于NR UE而言,映射关系为DRB ID/QFI<->DSCP/flow label。也即可以配置以下四种映射关系中的至少一种:a)DRB ID<->DSCP,b)DRB ID<->flow label,c)QFI<->DSCP,d)QFI<->flow label。其中,服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)流标识(QoS flow identity,QFI)。
2)、接入IAB-MT执行上行承载映射,Donor-CU为IAB-node配置上行映射关系,包括:DSCP/flow label<->GTP TEID。也即可以配置以下两种映射关系中的至少一种:a)DSCP<->GTP TEID,b)flow label<->GTP TEID。UE将上行数据对应的DSCP/flow label携带在适配层中,随上行数据一起发送到IAB-node。或者,Donor-CU为IAB-node配置上行映射关系,包括:DRB ID<->GTP TEID。UE将上行数据对应的DRB ID携带在适配层中,随上行数据一起发送到IAB-node。
3)、接入IAB-DU执行下行承载映射,Donor-CU确定UE业务类型对应的DSCP/flow label,并将确定的DSCP/flow label值携带在适配层中随下行数据一起发送到IAB-node。其中,UE业务类型可以通过DRB ID、E-RAB ID或GTP TEID来表示。Donor-CU为IAB-node配置的下行映射关系包括:UE业务类型<->DSCP/flow label。也即可以配置以下六种映射关系中的至少一种:a)DRB ID<->DSCP,b)DRB ID<->flow label,c)E-RAB ID<->DSCP,d)E-RAB ID<->flow label,e)GTP TEID<->DSCP,f)GTP TEID<->flow label。
第二,为解决上述问题2,改进点主要如下:
4)、接入IAB-DU和Donor-CU之间的GTP层引入重排序功能,或者,Donor-CU向UE发送指示信息,该指示信息用于指示UE是否打开PDCP重排序功能。该指示信息可以是per DRB指示的。
第三,为解决上述问题3,改进点主要如下:
5)、UE初始入网过程中,接入IAB-node通过F1AP消息向Donor-CU发送指示信息,该指示信息用于指示接入UE的类型,或者,用于指示UE待接入核心网的类型或用于指示UE是否接入LTE核心网或用于指示UE是否接入NR核心网。
第四,为解决上述问题4,改进点主要如下:
6)、UE选择一种接入制式接入IAB-node,此时,UE可以通过RRC消息向Donor-CU发送指示信息,或者,由接入IAB-node通过F1AP消息向Donor-CU发送该指示信息,用于指示UE空口使用的接入制式。若Donor-CU不接受UE选择的接入制式,则Donor-CU还可以进一步通过RRC消息将其确定的UE空口使用的接入制式发送给UE,以便UE更新空口使用的接入制式。
本申请实施例中,UE接入网络的制式也可以称为接入制式,接入制式对应的接入技术也可以称为空口技术或空口接入技术。
下面结合附图,对上述主要改进点进行具体说明。
一、本申请实施例所针对的应用场景
本申请实施例可以应用于IAB网络的场景,也可以应用于家庭接入(Home Access)网络的场景。
在IAB网络中,LTE UE或NR UE可以通过WLAN制式、LTE制式、NR制式、蓝牙制式、zigbee等制式接入到接入IAB node。本申请实施例主要针对的是LTE UE或NR UE通过WLAN制式、蓝牙制式、zigbee等制式接入到接入IAB node时的改进。
在家庭接入网络中,为了提升室内覆盖性能,家庭接入节点HAP(Home Access Point)可以是以IAB node的形态(基站的形态)或者以CPE的形态(UE的形态)存在。HAP和家庭设备(如UE)之间存在多种接入制式,可以是LTE、NR、WLAN(如无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,WiFi))、蓝牙、zigbee等。或者,HAP和UE之间通过直连链路(sidelink)进行通信。HAP和基站之间通过NR制式进行回传。如图8所示,为家庭接入网络示意图。
二、本申请实施例所适用的网络架构
如图9所示,为本申请实施例所适用的网络架构示意图。其中,LTE UE或NR UE可以通过WLAN、LTE、NR、蓝牙、zigbee等制式接入到IAB node或HAP。本申请实施例主要针对的是LTE UE或NR UE通过WLAN、蓝牙、zigbee接入到接入IAB node或HAP时的改进。
具体说明如下:
1)、LTE UE通过LTE接入制式接入IAB-node(或者HAP),并通过NR回传链路接入IAB-donor(或者gNB),再通过S1接口连接到演进的分组核心网络(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)。
2)、NR UE通过NR接入制式接入IAB-node(或者HAP),并通过NR回传链路接入IAB-donor(或者gNB),再通过NG接口连接到5GC。
3)、LTE UE通过WLAN接入制式、蓝牙接入制式、zigbee接入制式接入IAB-node(或者HAP),并通过NR回传链路接入IAB-donor(或者gNB),再通过S1接口连接到EPC。
4)、NR UE通过WLAN接入制式、蓝牙接入制式、zigbee接入制式接入IAB-node(或者HAP),并通过NR回传链路接入IAB-donor(或者gNB),再通过NG接口连接到5GC。
针对上述场景1),可沿用Rel-16IAB架构来实现,因此本申请实施例不做相应改动。
针对上述场景2),目前的Rel-16IAB架构已经支持,因此本申请实施例不做相应改动。
针对上述场景3)和4),本申请实施例将要解决的这两种场景中所存在的上述问题1至问题4。
下面结合附图,对上述场景3)和场景4)中所存在的上述问题1至问题4分别提供的解决方案进行具体说明。
为便于说明,以下实施例中,以LTE UE或NR UE通过WLAN制式接入到IAB node为例进行说明,对于LTE UE或NR UE通过蓝牙或zigbee制式接入到IAB node的实现方 法,与LTE UE或NR UE通过WLAN制式接入到IAB node的方法相同,不再赘述。
实施例一
该实施例用于解决上述问题1,具体的,在WLAN接入制式、蓝牙接入制式、zigbee接入制式下,如何实现UE上行和下行数据传输的承载映射,从而实现UE业务在整个数据传输过程中的QoS保障。
为了支持LTE UE或者NR UE通过WLAN、蓝牙或zigbee制式接入网络,控制面和用户面协议栈架构分别如图10和图11所示。本申请实施例以单跳回传链路场景为例进行说明,本专利方案同样适用多跳回传链路场景,这里不再赘述。
其中,单跳回传链路场景指的是接入IAB节点的父节点就是IAB宿主,即:接入IAB节点和IAB宿主之间不存在中间IAB节点。多跳回传链路场景指的就是接入IAB节点和IAB宿主之间存在1个或者多个中间IAB节点。其中,存在1个中间IAB节点的场景可称为两跳回传链路场景,存在2个中间IAB节点的场景可称为三跳回传链路场景,以此类推。
从图10和图11可以看出,本申请实施例在UE和接入IAB-node之间新引入一个适配层(Adapt层),用于不同无线接入技术(Radio Access Technology,RAT)的选择/适配以及空口QoS的保障。同理,接入IAB-node和IAB donor之间(具体为接入IAB-DU和Donor-CU之间)新引入一个适配层(Adapt层),用于不同RAT的选择/适配以及回传链路上QoS的保障。
一、上行承载映射
1、UE和接入IAB node之间接入链路上的上行承载映射
UE和接入IAB node之间接入链路上的上行承载映射由UE来执行。
如图12所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法。该方法由UE在需要发送上行数据时执行。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1201,UE确定上行数据对应的第一信息,第一信息用于标识上行数据在第一制式下对应的业务类型或承载。
比如,针对LTE UE,第一信息可以是DRB ID或E-RAB ID,第一制式是LTE制式。
再比如,针对NR UE,第一信息可以是DRB ID或QFI,第一制式是NR制式。
步骤1202,UE根据第一信息,确定第二信息,第二信息用于标识上行数据在第二制式下对应的业务类型或承载,第二制式与第一制式不同。
比如,UE上配置有第一信息与第二信息之间的映射关系(或对应关系),则UE可以根据配置的第一信息与第二信息的映射关系,确定第一信息对应的第二信息。作为一种实现方法,UE从IAB宿主节点接收RRC消息(如RRC重配置消息),该RRC消息中携带第一信息和第二信息,第一信息和第二信息对应,从而UE可以获取到第一信息与第二信息之间的映射关系。
该第二信息可以是DSCP或流标签(flow label)。
该第二制式为WLAN、蓝牙或zigbee中的一种。
因此,Donor-CU为UE配置的第一信息与第二信息的映射关系如下:
对于LTE UE而言,可以为LTE UE配置以下映射关系中的至少一种:
a)DRB ID<->DSCP;
b)DRB ID<->flow label;
c)E-RAB ID<->DSCP;
d)E-RAB ID<->flow label。
其中,针对LTE UE,一个PDCP实体唯一对应一个DRB ID,以及唯一对应一个E-RAB ID。
对于NR UE而言,可以为NR UE配置以下映射关系中的至少一种:
a)DRB ID<->DSCP;
b)DRB ID<->flow label;
c)QFI<->DSCP;
d)QFI<->flow label。
其中,针对NR UE,一个PDCP实体唯一对应一个DRB ID,以及一个QFI唯一对应一个PDCP实体。
步骤1203,UE根据第二信息,使用第二制式的空口技术发送上行数据。
UE根据第二信息使用第二制式的空口技术发送上行数据,也可以理解为UE根据第二信息执行QoS控制,具体的,可以在上行数据包携带第二信息。
在现有技术中,UE采用相同的制式接入网络(比如均为第一制式,具体可以是NR或LTE,即:LTE UE通过LTE制式接入网络,NR UE通过NR制式接入网络),UE根据第一信息使用第一制式的空口技术发送上行数据。然而在UE跨制式接入的场景下,即第一制式的UE通过第二制式的空口技术接入网络(比如第二制式为WLAN,即:LTE UE或者NR UE通过WLAN制式接入网络),由于第二制式不识别第一信息,无法进行数据传输的QoS保障,因此,UE无法根据第一信息使用第二制式的空口技术进行QoS保障的上行数据发送。为此,本申请UE根据第一信息得到第二制式能够识别的第二信息,从而UE可以根据第二信息使用第二制式的空口技术发送上行数据,确保了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据传输的QoS保障。
下面给出上述过程的具体示例。
作为第一种实现方式,UE沿用现有机制,将上行数据(即:IP包)映射到PDCP层对应的PDCP实体进行处理,得到处理后的上行数据(即:PDCP PDU)。其中,该PDCP实体与业务承载标识(如DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI)对应,UE的适配层从适配层的上层(即:PDCP层的PDCP实体)收到处理后的上行数据后,根据Donor-CU配置的映射关系,确定DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI对应的DSCP/flow label值,也即UE的适配层可以确定该处理后的上行数据对应的DSCP/flow label值。然后,UE的适配层向适配层的下层(如WLAN L2为例)发送控制信息,该控制信息用于指示DSCP/flow label值,或者理解为用于指示该处理后的上行数据对应的DSCP/flow label值。UE的WLAN L2收到控制信息指示的DSCP/flow label值后,按照现有WLAN机制,根据DSCP/flow label执行UE业务的QoS保障。具体的,UE的WLAN L2沿用现有机制,根据获取到的DSCP/flow label值来识别UE业务并进行业务QoS的保障。这样做的好处在于:上层数据传输可以屏蔽底层的接入技术,只要底层接入技术(例如:WLAN、zigbee、蓝牙等)通过DSCP/flow label来识别UE业务的都可以适用。
作为第二种实现方式,UE的适配层从适配层的上层(即:PDCP层的PDCP实体)收到经过上层处理后的上行数据(即:PDCP PDU)后,其中,该PDCP实体与业务承载标识(如DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI)对应,然后,UE再根据Donor-CU配置的映射关系,确定DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI对应的DSCP/flow label值,也即UE的适配层可以确定该处理后的上行数据对应的DSCP/flow label值。然后,UE的适配层为该处理后的上行数据添加适配层头,得到适配层包,该适配层包携带适配层头和该处理后的上行数据,该适配层头携带DSCP/flow label,可选的,该适配层头还携带DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI。然后UE的适配层将适配层包发送到适配层的下层(如WLAN L2),由UE的WLAN L2按照现有机制从收到的适配层包中提取出DSCP/flow label值后执行UE业务的QoS保障。具体的,UE的WLAN L2沿用现有机制,根据获取到的DSCP/flow label值来识别UE业务并进行业务QoS的保障。这样做的好处在于:上层数据传输可以屏蔽底层的接入技术,只要底层接入技术(例如:WLAN、zigbee、蓝牙等)通过DSCP/flow label来识别UE业务的都可以适用。
针对上述第二种实现方法,作为示例,适配层的格式设计如图13所示。其中,R为预留字段。版本(Version)字段占4比特(bit)。当version字段取值为4时,适配层采用左边的格式设计,当version字段取值为6时,适配层采用右边的格式设计。
图中以适配层包携带DSCP和DRB ID为例进行说明。当适配层采用左边的格式设计时,DSCP字段固定从第二字节开始占6bit,DSCP字段后面紧跟5bit的DRB ID。当适配层采用右边的格式设计时,流标签(Flow label)字段固定从第二字节中的第4bit开始占20bit,version字段后面紧跟5bit的DRB ID。
2、接入IAB node和Donor-DU之间回传链路上的上行承载映射
接入IAB node和Donor-DU之间回传链路上的上行承载映射由接入IAB node来执行。具体的,由接入IAB-MT来执行上行承载映射。
如图14所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法。该方法由接入IAB节点在需要发送上行数据时执行。这里的接入IAB节点(接入IAB node),也即UE接入的IAB节点。对于接入IAB节点的具体含义,可参考前述描述。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1401,接入IAB node接收来自UE的数据包,该数据包携带上行数据,以及携带第一信息和/或第二信息。
其中,第一信息用于标识上行数据在第一制式下对应的业务类型或承载,第二信息用于标识上行数据在第二制式下对应的业务类型或承载,第二制式与第一制式不同。
比如,针对LTE UE,第一信息可以是DRB ID或E-RAB ID,该第二信息可以是DSCP或流标签(flow label),第一制式是LTE制式,第二制式为WLAN、蓝牙或zigbee中的一种。
再比如,针对NR UE,第一信息可以是DRB ID或QFI,该第二信息可以是DSCP或流标签(flow label),第一制式是NR制式,第二制式为WLAN、蓝牙或zigbee中的一种。
步骤1402,接入IAB node根据第一信息或第二信息,确定GTP隧道的隧道标识,该隧道标识包括GTP TEID,或者GTP TEID和IP地址。
比如,当接入IAB node从UE接收到的数据包携带第一信息,则接入IAB node可以根据配置的第一信息与GTP隧道的标识的映射关系,确定第一信息对应的GTP隧道的标 识。可选的,接入IAB node可以从IAB donor接收RRC消息或F1AP消息,该RRC消息或F1AP消息携带第一信息和隧道标识,该第一信息和隧道标识对应,从而接入IAB node可以获取到第一信息和隧道标识的映射关系。
再比如,当接入IAB node从UE接收到的数据包携带第二信息,则接入IAB node可以根据配置的第二信息与GTP隧道的标识的映射关系,确定第二信息对应的GTP隧道的标识。可选的,接入IAB node可以从IAB donor接收RRC消息或F1AP消息,该RRC消息或F1AP消息携带第二信息和隧道标识,该第二信息和隧道标识对应,从而接入IAB node可以获取到第二信息和隧道标识的映射关系。
步骤1403,接入IAB node将上行数据映射到隧道标识对应的GTP隧道中发送至IAB donor。
现有技术中,UE是将上行数据通过DRB发送至接入IAB节点,然后接入IAB节点根据配置的GTP隧道和UE DRB的映射关系,将上行数据映射到对应的GTP隧道中。然而,在UE跨制式接入的场景下(比如:LTE UE通过WLAN制式接入IAB节点),UE的WLAN空口并不是将上行数据通过DRB发送至接入IAB节点,因此现有技术中接入IAB节点无法确定接收到的上行数据需要放到哪个GTP隧道。而基于本申请上述方案,可以在数据包中携带第一信息,以及在接入IAB节点上配置第一信息与GTP隧道的隧道标识的映射关系,或者可以在数据包中携带第二信息,以及在接入IAB节点上配置第二信息与GTP隧道的隧道标识的映射关系,从而接入IAB节点可以基于配置的映射关系以及从数据包中获取到的第一信息或第二信息,即可以确定该数据包对应的GTP隧道,从而将上行数据映射到GTP隧道中发送至IAB宿主节点,实现了数据的正确发送,确保了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据传输的QoS保障。
下面给出上述过程的具体示例。
方案一、UE将上行数据对应的第一信息(可以是DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI)携带在适配层中,随上行数据一起发送到接入IAB node。接入IAB node根据Donor-CU配置的上行映射关系,将上行数据映射到对应的GTP隧道中,然后再映射到对应的egress BH RLC CH中发送到Donor-DU。其中,Donor-CU配置的上行映射关系包括:DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI<->隧道标识,以及隧道标识<->egress BH RLC CH。egress BH RLC CH是IAB node和Donor-DU之间的回传RLC信道。
也就是说,接入IAB node根据适配层中携带的DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI,获知该上行数据对应的DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI,然后根据Donor-CU配置的DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI<->隧道标识的映射关系,将该上行数据映射到对应的GTP隧道中,然后再根据Donor-CU配置的隧道标识<->egress BH RLC CH的映射关系,将映射到GTP隧道后的上行数据进一步映射到对应的BH RLC CH上发送到Donor-DU。
方案二、UE将上行数据对应的第二信息(可以是DSCP/flow label)携带在适配层中,随上行数据一起发送到接入IAB node。接入IAB node根据Donor-CU配置的上行映射关系,将上行数据映射到对应的GTP隧道中,然后再映射到对应的egress BH RLC CH中发送到Donor-DU。其中,Donor-CU配置的上行映射关系包括:DSCP/flow label<->隧道标识,以及隧道标识<->egress BH RLC CH。egress BH RLC CH是IAB node和Donor-DU之间的回 传RLC信道。
也就是说,接入IAB node根据适配层中携带的DSCP/flow label,获知该上行数据对应的DSCP/flow label,然后根据Donor-CU配置的DSCP/flow label<->隧道标识的映射关系,将该上行数据映射到对应的GTP隧道中,然后再根据Donor-CU配置的隧道标识<->egress BH RLC CH的映射关系,将映射到GTP隧道后的上行数据进一步映射到对应的egress BH RLC CH上发送到Donor-DU。
具体的,上述映射关系可以携带在Donor-CU给接入IAB-MT发送的RRC消息中,或者,上述映射关系可以携带在Donor-CU给接入IAB-DU发送的F1AP消息中,由接入IAB-DU通过内部接口将上述映射关系通知接入IAB-MT。
值得注意的是,本申请以接入IAB node的父节点为IAB donor为例进行说明,本申请同样适用于多跳场景,即接入IAB node的父节点为其他IAB节点,该场景下,只需将上述方案一和方案二中的Donor-DU替换为接入IAB node父节点的DU即可。
二、下行承载映射
1、UE和接入IAB node之间接入链路上的下行承载映射
UE和接入IAB node之间接入链路上的下行承载映射由接入IAB node来执行,具体的,由接入IAB-DU来执行下行承载映射。
如图15所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法。该方法由接入IAB node在需要发送下行数据时执行。这里的接入IAB节点(接入IAB node),也即UE接入的IAB节点。对于接入IAB节点的具体含义,可参考前述描述。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1501,接入IAB node接收IAB donor通过GTP隧道发送的下行数据,GTP隧道的隧道标识包括GTP TEID或者GTP TEID和IP地址。
也即,接入IAB node从GTP隧道中获取到下行数据,该GTP隧道为接入IAB node与IAB donor之间的隧道。
步骤1502,接入IAB node确定下行数据对应的DSCP或flow label。
比如,接入IAB node可以根据配置的GTP隧道的隧道标识与DSCP/flow label之间的映射关系,确定隧道标识对应的DSCP或flow label。可选的,该映射关系可以是接入IAB node从IAB donor接收到的,也即接入IAB node从IAB donor接收隧道标识和DSCP,或者接收隧道标识和flow label,其中,隧道标识和DSCP对应,或者,隧道标识和flow label对应。
再比如,接入IAB node还可以从IAB donor接收适配层包,该适配层包携带下行数据和适配层头,适配层头中携带DSCP或flow label。基于该实现方法,接入IAB node可以直接从适配层包中获取到对应的DSCP或flow label。
步骤1503,接入IAB node根据DSCP或flow label,向UE发送下行数据。
现有技术中,接入IAB节点是将下行数据通过DRB发送至UE。然而,在UE跨制式接入的场景下(比如:LTE UE通过WLAN制式接入IAB节点),接入IAB节点的WLAN空口并不能将下行数据通过DRB发送至UE,因为WLAN制式不识别DRB。为此,本申请上述方案,接入IAB节点可以获取到下行数据包对应的DSCP或流标签,并根据DSCP或流标签向UE发送下行数据。由于WLAN制式能识别DSCP或流标签,从而实现了下行 数据的正确发送,确保了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据传输的QoS保障。
下面给出上述过程的具体示例。
方案一、Donor-CU为接入IAB node配置的下行映射关系包括:隧道标识<->DSCP/flow label。
该方案中,接入IAB node从GTP隧道中提取出UE的下行数据后,根据Donor-CU配置的隧道标识<->DSCP/flow label的映射关系,确定该UE的下行数据对应的DSCP/flow label,IAB node沿用空口(如WLAN)的现有机制,根据获取到的DSCP/flow label值来识别UE业务并进行业务QoS的保障。
为了让UE能够识别收到的下行数据送到哪个PDCP实体进行处理,接入IAB node还可以将隧道标识对应的DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI携带在适配层中随下行数据一起发送到UE。
方案二、Donor-CU决定UE业务类型与DSCP/flow label的下行映射关系,并根据下行映射关系将对应的DSCP/flow label值携带在适配层中随下行数据一起发送到接入IAB node。
对于LTE UE而言,UE业务类型可以通过DRB ID、E-RAB ID、GTP TEID或GTP TEID+IP地址来表示。即上述下行映射关系可以是:DRB ID<->DSCP/flow label,或者,E-RAB ID<->DSCP/flow label,或者,GTP TEID<->DSCP/flow label,或者,GTP TEID+IP地址<->DSCP/flow label。
对于NR UE而言,UE业务类型可以通过DRB ID、QFI、GTP TEID或GTP TEID+IP地址来表示。即上述下行映射关系可以是:DRB ID<->DSCP/flow label,或者,QFI<->DSCP/flow label,或者,GTP TEID<->DSCP/flow label,或者,GTP TEID+IP地址<->DSCP/flow label。
Donor-CU决定UE业务类型与DSCP/flow label的映射关系后,将对应的DSCP/flow label值携带在适配层中随下行数据一起发送到接入IAB node。
该方案中,接入IAB node(即接入IAB-MT)从适配层中提取出DSCP/flow label,并从GTP隧道中提取出UE的下行数据后,可以获知该UE的下行数据对应的DSCP/flow label,然后接入IAB node(即接入IAB-DU)沿用空口(如WLAN)的现有机制,根据获取到的DSCP/flow label值来识别UE业务并进行业务QoS的保障。或者,接入IAB node(即接入IAB-DU)的适配层为下行数据添加适配层头,得到适配层包,该适配层包携带适配层头和该下行数据,该适配层头携带DSCP/flow label。然后接入IAB node(即接入IAB-DU)的适配层将适配层包发送到适配层的下层(如WLAN L2),由接入IAB node(即IAB-DU)的WLAN L2按照现有机制,根据获取到的DSCP/flow label值来识别UE业务并执行UE业务的QoS保障。可选的,为了让UE能够识别收到的下行数据送到哪个PDCP实体进行处理,接入IAB node还可以将隧道标识对应的DRB ID/E-RAB ID/QFI携带在适配层中随下行数据进一步发送到UE。
基于上述实施例一,设计了LTE/NR UE通过WLAN、蓝牙、zigbee等接入技术接入网络的场景(即接入链路采用WLAN、蓝牙、zigbee等接入技术,回传链路采用NR接入技术)下的上行和下行承载映射方案,确保UE上行数据和下行数据传输过程中的QoS保障。
实施例二
该实施例用于解决上述问题2,具体的,在WLAN、蓝牙或zigbee制式下,如何保证回传链路上UE数据的按序接收。
如图11所示,接入IAB node和Donor-DU之间采用NR制式。不同于LTE RLC层的功能,NR RLC层取消了按序递交数据的功能,从而导致接收端PDCP层收到的数据可能乱序。
以LTE UE通过WLAN接入技术接入网络场景为例,由于UE和接入IAB node之间采用WLAN接入技术,而WLAN接入技术使用先进先出(First Input First Output,FIFO)机制,从而可以保证UE数据在该接口上的按序传输和接收。可是,由于接入IAB node和Donor-DU之间采用NR接入技术,而NR RLC层无法保证按序向上层(NR PDCP层)递交UE的数据,从而导致接收端PDCP层收到的UE数据的乱序。
本申请实施例以单跳回传链路场景为例进行说明,本专利方案同样适用两跳或多跳回传链路场景,这里不再赘述。
为了解决该问题,本申请实施例提供两种不同的解决方案。
方案一、在接入IAB node的GTP层和Donor-CU的GTP层引入重排序功能。
如图16所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法。该方法由接入IAB node或IAB donor执行。这里的接入IAB节点(接入IAB node),也即UE接入的IAB节点。对于接入IAB节点的具体含义,可参考前述描述。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1601,第一设备从第二设备接收至少两个数据包,其中,每个数据包携带一个GTP层的GTP序号。
步骤1602,第一设备根据GTP层的GTP序号,对接收到的至少两个数据包进行重排序。
其中,第一设备是接入IAB node,第二设备是IAB donor。或者,第一设备是IAB donor,第二设备是接入IAB node。
基于上述方案,解决了LTE UE接入网络后如何保证回传链路上UE数据的按序接收问题,避免回传链路上数据乱序导致的丢包。
可选的,IAB donor可以向接入IAB node发送指示信息,该指示信息用于指示接入IAB node的GTP层开启或关闭重排序功能。从而,接入IAB node可以根据该指示信息开启或关闭GTP层的重排序功能。
方案二、LTE PDCP层打开重排序功能。
如图17所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法。该方法由UE执行。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1701,UE从IAB donor接收UE的业务承载标识和指示信息,该指示信息用于指示业务承载标识对应的PDCP实体开启或关闭重排序功能。
其中,该UE为LTE UE,该UE通过NR回传链路接入网络。
该指示信息与业务承载标识对应,可选的,该业务承载标识为DRB ID。
步骤1702,UE根据业务承载标识和指示信息,开启或关闭PDCP实体的重排序功能。
在现有机制中,只有切换场景下,LTE PDCP层才打开重排序功能,其他场景下LTE PDCP层不打开重排序功能。由于LTE RLC层具有向上层LTE PDCP层按序递交数据的功能,从而可以保证LTE PDCP层按序从底层(LTE RLC层)接收数据。而在上述方案中,一旦IAB donor(比如可以是Donor-CU)获知LTE UE通过NR回传链路接入网络,则IAB donor打开LTE PDCP层的重排序功能,并指示UE打开LTE PDCP层的重排序功能。也就是说,IAB donor向UE发送一个指示信息,该指示信息用于指示UE是否打开PDCP重排序功能。该指示信息是per DRB指示的,可以携带在RRC消息中发送。其中,每个DRB对应一个PDCP实体,针对每个PDCP实体指示是否开启重排序功能。
基于上述方案,解决了LTE UE接入网络后如何保证回传链路上UE数据的按序接收问题,避免回传链路上数据乱序导致的丢包。
实施例三
该实施例用于解决上述问题3,具体的,在WLAN、蓝牙或zigbee制式下,如何为不同类型的UE选择接入的核心网设备。
对于LTE UE,Donor-CU需要为其选择LTE的核心网设备,例如:控制面设备(如移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)),用户面设备(如服务网关(Serving GateWay,SGW)/分组数据网网关(PDN Gateway,PGW))。对于NR UE,Donor-CU需要为其选择NR的核心网设备,例如:控制面设备(如接入与移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)网元),用户面设备(如用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元)。因此,跨制式接入场景下,Donor-CU需要识别接入UE的类型,以便选择对应的核心网。
如图18所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法。该方法由接入IAB node执行。这里的接入IAB节点(接入IAB node),也即UE接入的IAB节点。对于接入IAB节点的具体含义,可参考前述描述。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1801,接入IAB node确定UE的类型或UE待接入的核心网的类型。
步骤1802,接入IAB node向IAB donor发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示UE的类型,或用于指示UE待接入的核心网的类型,或用于指示UE是否接入NR核心网,或用于指示UE是否接入LTE核心网,第一指示信息用于IAB donor为UE选择接入的核心网。
比如,UE初始入网过程中,接入IAB node可以通过F1AP消息(例如可以是Initial UL RRC Message Transfer消息)向IAB donor发送该第一指示信息。
比如,第一指示信息用于指示UE的类型为NR或LTE。再比如,第一指示信息用于指示UE待接入的核心网的类型为NR核心网(即5GC)或LTE核心网(即EPC)。再比如,第一指示信息用于指示UE接入NR核心网,或指示UE不接入NR核心网。若指示UE不接入NR核心网,则IAB donor确定UE接入LTE核心网。再比如,第一指示信息用于指示UE接入LTE核心网,或指示UE不接入LTE核心网。若指示UE不接入LTE核心 网,则IAB donor确定UE接入NR核心网。
基于上述方案,解决了IAB donor如何为UE选择对应的核心网设备的问题,从而使得在跨制式接入场景下IAB donor根据接收到的指示信息为UE选择对应的核心网,可以保证UE接入网络后的正常操作,保障了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据的正常传输。
作为一种实现方法,上述步骤1801中,接入IAB node可以根据UE接入的小区频点,确定UE的类型。或者,接入IAB node从UE接收第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示UE的类型。
作为一种实现方法,上述步骤1801中,接入IAB node可以从UE接收第三指示信息,根据第三指示信息确定UE待接入的核心网的类型,该第三指示信息用于指示UE待接入的核心网的类型,或用于指示UE是否接入NR核心网,或用于指示UE是否接入LTE核心网。
本申请实施例适用于单跳、两跳或者多跳回传链路场景。
实施例四
该实施例用于解决上述问题4,具体的,IAB donor如何获知UE在空口使用的接入制式。
跨制式接入场景下IAB donor需要识别LTE/NR UE在空口使用的接入制式(NR、LTE、WLAN、蓝牙、zigbee等),以便进行不同的承载映射判决。
如图19所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法。该方法由IAB donor执行。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤1901,IAB donor接收第一指示信息。
步骤1902,IAB donor根据第一指示信息,确定UE空口使用的接入制式。
基于上述方案,IAB donor(比如可以是Donor-CU)可以根据接收到的第一指示信息确定UE空口使用的接入制式,从而可以根据获知的UE空口使用的接入制式为UE配置不同的承载映射策略,保证UE接入网络后的正常操作,保障了跨制式接入场景下用户设备数据的正常传输。
在一种实现方法中,上述步骤1901的具体实现比如可以是:UE选择一种制式接入IAB node,该接入IAB node可以获知UE接入使用的制式,然后将第一指示信息携带于F1AP消息中发送到IAB donor。示例性的,该F1AP消息可以是Initial UL RRC Message Transfer消息。
作为另一种实现方法,上述步骤1901的具体实现比如可以是:上述第一指示信息不是由接入IAB node携带在F1AP消息中发送到IAB donor的,而是由UE将该第一指示信息携带在RRC消息(比如可以是RRC连接建立完成消)中发送到IAB donor。
在一种实现方法中,上述步骤1902的具体实现比如可以是:第一指示信息用于指示UE正在使用的接入制式,IAB donor根据第一指示信息,同意UE使用正在使用的接入制式。
在一种实现方法中,上述步骤1902的具体实现比如可以是:第一指示信息用于指示UE正在使用的接入制式,IAB donor根据第一指示信息,不同意UE使用正在使用的接入制式。则IAB donor重新确定一个接入制式,并向UE发送RRC消息(比如可以是RRC Release消息或者RRCReconfiguration消息),该RRC消息携带第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示IAB donor确定空口使用的接入制式,从而UE根据第二指示信息确定空口使用的接入制式,并根据IAB donor确定的UE空口使用的接入制式接入网络。
