Description

一种MBS业务数据传输方法和网络侧装置及设备
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年08月14日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010820157.4、申请名称为“一种MBS业务数据传输方法和网络侧装置及设备”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
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种MBS业务数据传输方法和网络侧装置及设备。
背景技术
现有4G MBMS(Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,多媒体广播组播业务)技术,主要包括三种模式:
1)SC-PTM(Single Cell Point To Multiploint,单小区点到多点)模式
在该模式下,MCE(Multi-cell/multicast Coordination Entity,多小区/多播协调实体)向CN(Core Network,核心网)发送MBMS会话开始请求;CN向MCE发送MBMS会话开始响应;MCE决定对MBMS持有人使用SC-PTM;MCE向eNB(Evolved Node B,演进型基站)发送MBMS会话开始请求;eNB向MCE发送MBMS会话开始响应;eNB触发UE(User Equipment)执行单小区点到多点的业务数据接收。
在上述流程中,感兴趣的UE只需读取SC-MCCH(Single Cell-MBMS Control Channel,单小区多播控制信道)信息,获知SC-MTCH(Single Cell-MBMS l Channel单小区-多播业务信道)的调度信息,即可在空闲Idle态或连接态conntected下接收MBMS业务。
2)单播模式
UE通过PDU(Protocol Data Unit,协议数据单元)会话建立过程,在单播模式下接收MBMS业务。该模式需要UE在连接态下进行会话过程建立,MBMS业务只能通过传统的单播PDU会话建立过程完成MBMS业务的单播传输。
3)MBSFN(Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network,多播/组播单频网络)的传输模式
4G网络节点E-UTRAN会判断,某些正在以PTP(Point To Point,点对点模式)方式接收MBMS业务的UE需要转到PTM(Point To Multiploint,点到多点模式)方式进行数据接收,这里的PTM模式,意指MBSFN的传输模式。随后E-UTRAN将发送RRC信令消息通知相应的UE,如果UE决定终止PTP的数据接收后,将再次发送信令消息通知E-UTRAN。最后,UE完成从PTP模式到MBSFN模式的转换。
可见,目前4G MBMS技术只允许UE切换到静态规划好的目标小区,而且只存在连接态和空闲态两种终端的接收需求。5G NR作为新一代无线接入技术网络,同样存在着对于多播/广播业务的需求。而且5G架构下,存在in-active态的UE,为了使这部分UE也能保持MBS(Multimedia Broadcast Service,多媒体广播业务)接收的连续性,需要采用新的增强技术,来扩展当前的MBS业务传输机制。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
现有4G MBMS技术,主要包括三种模式:
1)对于SC-PTM模式,如图2所示,主要的MBMS会话数据传输流程为:
步骤1,CN向MCE发送MBMS会话开始请求;
步骤1a,CN向MCE发送MBMS会话开始响应;
步骤2,MCE决定对MBMS持有人使用SC-PTM;
步骤3,MCE向eNB发送MBMS会话开始请求;
步骤3a,eNB向MCE发送MBMS会话开始响应;
步骤4,eNB触发UE执行单小区点到多点。
在此流程中,感兴趣的UE只需读取SC-MCCH信息,获知SC-MTCH的调度信息,即可在Idle态或conntected下接收MBMS业务。
2)单播模式接收MBMS业务的流程,如图1所示,主要包括:
步骤1,UE向AMF发送PDU会话建立请求;
步骤2,AMF向gNB发送PDU会话资源建立请求;
步骤3,gNB向UE发送RRC重配置信息;
步骤4,UE对数据无线承载进行重建;
步骤5,UE向gNB发送RRC重配置完成;
步骤6,gNB向AMF发送PDU会话资源建立响应;
步骤7,gNB、UPF和UE进行上行数据更新。
MBMS业务只能通过传统的单播PDU会话建立过程完成MBMS业务的单播传输。
3)4G MBSFN到单播承载转换的流程,如图3所示,主要包括:
上述流程中,4G网络节点E-UTRAN会判断,某些正在以PTP方式接收MBMS业务的UE需要转到PTM方式进行数据接收,这里的PTM模式,意指MBSFN的传输模式。步骤1,E-UTRAN将发送RRC信令消息通知相应的UE,某PTP方式的MBMS业务转换为PTM方式发送,并发送PTM方式的相关信息;步骤2,UE响应上述消息;步骤3,如果UE决定终止PTP的数据接收后,将再次发送信令消息通知E-UTRAN,具体为UE通知E-UTRAN停止所述MBMS业务的PTP方式发送;步骤4,E-UTRAN响应上述消息。最后,UE完成从PTP模式到MBSFN模式的转换。
现有的4G MBMS技术,只允许UE切换到静态规划好的目标小区,而且只存在连接态和空闲态两种终端的接收需求。这样,在5G NR架构下,势必导致in-active下UE接收MBMS业务的传输受限。
实施例1
基于上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种MBS业务数据传输解决方案,处于In-active态下的UE,当其移动到新的目标小区时,如果此目标小区,没有其感兴趣的MBS业务上下文,允许该UE通过发起RRC resume过程,触发相应MBS上下文在该目标小区的建立,从而目标小区可以基于建立的上下文对UE进行MBS业务传输。
本申请实施例还提供另一种MBS业务数据传输方案,在目标小区建立对应MBS上下文的基础上,目标小区根据不同情况,采用两种方式建立并维护MBS会话的数据传输通道,其中一种方式为目标小区建立与源小区的公共前转通道,另一种方式为目标小区建立与核心网间的N3通道。或者,上述两个通道均建立,之后释放公共前转通道后,维持N3通道进行M3数据传输。

下面对MBS业务数据传输系统解决MBS业务传输的方式进行详细的说明。
方式一、通过恢复MBS会话上下文进行MBS数据传输的方式
处于In-active态下的UE,当其移动到新的目标小区时,如果此目标小区,没有其感兴趣的MBS业务上下文,允许该UE通过发起RRC resume过程。
作为一种可选的实施方式,In-active态下的UE移动到目标小区,确定目标小区不能满足MBS会话需求,向第一网络侧设备发送RRC连接恢复请求消息,第一网络侧设备接收去激活态UE确定目标小区不能满足MBS会话需求时,发送携带“MBS会话建立”类似的指示信息来指示建立MBS会话上下文的RRC连接恢复请求消息。
所述指示信息RRC resume request消息中的Resume Cause,携带“MBS会话建立”类似的指示信息;或者
所述指示信息RRC resume request消息中携带UE感兴趣的MBS会话业务列表。
第一网络侧设备收到RRC连接恢复请求消息后,根据指示确定需要在目标小区建立MBS会话上下文,第一网络侧设备将向源小区的第二网络测设备发起MBS上下文恢复过程,通过此过程,获取期望建立的MBS会话业务上下文相关信息。具体地,向源小区发送UE上下文请求消息,通过UE上下文请求消息指示源小区需要返回相应的MBS会话业务上下文相关信息,接收所述源小区返回的UE上下文响应消息,该UE上下文响应消息中携带MBS会 话业务上下文相关信息。
作为一种可选的实施方式,源小区发送的所述UE上下文请求消息携带目标小区存在的MBS会话上下文列表信息,目标小区收到该UE上下文请求消息后,确定源小区存在的MBS会话业务,根据自身保存的已有的MBS会话业务上下文相关信息,确定哪些是源小区没有的MBS业务,从而将新的MBS业务会话上下文信息发送给源小区,即向源小区发送的UE上下文请求消息中携带目标小区不存在的新的MBS业务会话上下文相关信息。
作为另一种可选的实施方式,源小区向目标小区发送的UE上下文请求消息不携带任何MBS业务会话相关信息,但是会指示目标小区需要返回MBS业务会话上下文信息,具体的指示方式可以显式或隐式的指示。目标小区收到UE上下文请求消息后,将本地存储的所有MBS业务会话上下文相关信息进行反馈,即目标小区返回的所述UE上下文响应消息携带与所述UE相关的所有MBS业务会话上下文相关信息;
作为另一种可选的实施方式,源小区发送的UE上下文请求消息携带所述UE期望的MBS会话上下文列表信息,目标小区收到UE上下文请求消息后,在本地查询UE期望的MBS业务会话上下文相关信息,并发送到源小区,即目标小区向源小区发送的所述UE上下文响应消息携带所述UE期望的MBS业务会话上下文相关信息。
目标小区获取MBS会话业务相关上下文信息后,会根据MBS会话业务相关上下文信息在目标小区建立MBS会话上下文,在目标小区建立MBS会话上下文后,可以通过如下任一方式进行MBS数据传输:
1)、在连接态进行MBS数据传输
目标小区在建立MBS会话上下文后,会配置MBS资源以进行MBS会话业务数据传输,并通过RRC连接消息发送给所述UE;UE收到RRC连接消息后,进入连接态,并向目标小区返回RRC连接完成消息,目标小区接收所述UE返回的RRC连接完成消息,在连接态向所述UE传输MBS数据。
2)、在去激活态进行MBS数据传输
目标小区在建立MBS会话上下文后,会配置MBS资源,如果想让UE进入去激活接收MBS数据,则通过RRC连接释放消息或RRC拒绝消息,将配置的MBS数据发送给所述UE;UE收到RRC连接释放消息或RRC拒绝消息后,进入去激活态;目标小区向所述去激活态的UE传输MBS数据。
下面结合流程图给出通过恢复MBS会话上下文进行MBS数据传输的方式的详细流程,如图6所示,主要包括以下步骤:
步骤601,处于In-active态下的UE在源小区接收某些MBS会话业务;
步骤602,UE移动到新的目标小区,确定此目标小区没有自身感兴趣的某MBS会话上下文存在,则该UE将发起RRC resume过程;
具体地,UE向目标小区(或是网络实体)发送RRC连接恢复请求RRC resume request消息,消息中的Resume Cause,携带“MBS会话建立”类似的指示信息。
步骤603,目标小区接收RRC连接恢复请求消息,解析出源服务节点,并准备向该节点发送UE上下文请求消息,发起UE上下文请求过程;
目标小区收到上述RRC连接恢复请求消息后,确定当前服务节点已经存在的MBS会话上下文,并向源小区发送UE上下文请求消息,该消息允许携带当前目标服务节点已经存在的MBS会话上下业务列表信息;
目标小区可以根据RRC连接恢复请求消息中的I-RNTI解析出对应的源服务节点。
步骤604,源小区接收UE上下文请求消息,向目标小区返回携带新的未保存在源小区的MBS会话业务上下文相关信息的UE上下文响应消息;
源小区收到上述UE上下文请求消息后,确定目标小区已经存在的MBS会话业务上下文相关信息,结合本地保存的该UE感兴趣MBS上下文相关信息,确定需要在新的目标节点建立的MBS会话业务。相应地,将在返回的UE上下文响应消息中,携带需要目标小区建立的新的MBS会话上下文相关信息,至少包含这些MBS会话对应的QOS profile,多播地址等信息;
步骤605,目标小区接收源小区返回的UE上下文响应消息,根据消息中 的MBS会话业务相关信息,开始相关MBS会话上下文的建立;
MBS会话上下文具体可以包括保存相应的QOS profile,以及多播地址等信息;如果需要的话,后续将加入相应的N3通道多播传输组中。
步骤606,目标小区针对此UE,决定是否采用MRB传输或是DRB传输相应的MBS会话业务,执行步骤607或步骤607a;
步骤607,目标小区向UE发送RRC resume消息,配置相应的DRB资源或是MRB,并利用配置的资源进行MBS数据传输;
步骤608,UE收到RRC Resume消息后,向目标小区返回RRC resume complete消息,并开始按照配置准备接收相应的MBS会话业务;
步骤607a,向UE返回RRC release或RRC reject消息并携带对应的资源配置;
消息中显式或隐式地指明“进入in-active态”接收MBS会话,如果配置的是MRB资源,并期望UE继续保持在in-active态接收,则目标小区向UE返回RRC release或RRC reject消息并携带对应的资源配置。
步骤608a,UE进入In-active态,按照相应的配置准备接收相应的MBS会话业务。
需要说明的是,具体实施时可以对上述流程中涉及的UE上下文请求/响应消息中内容作出改动,如源小区返回的UE上下文响应消息中,携带所有UE感兴趣的MBS会话上下文相关信息,至少包含这些MBS会话对应的QOS profile,多播地址等信息。或者目标小区发送的UE上下文请求消息携带所述UE期望的MBS会话上下文列表信息,源小区返回所述UE上下文响应消息携带所述UE期望的MBS业务会话上下文相关信息。其他流程同上,具体的过程这里不再重述。
方式二、通过公共前转通道进行MBS数据传输的方式
处于In-active态下的UE,当其移动到新的目标小区时,作为一种可选的实施方式,In-active态下的UE移动到目标小区,确定目标小区不能满足MBS会话需求,目标小区通过向源小区发送UE上下文请求消息,从源小区获取 MBS会话上下文相关信息;在所述目标小区建立MBS会话上下文后,通过向源小区第二网络侧设备发起公共前转地址请求过程,将期望的MBS会话上下文列表信息指示给源小区;源小区与所述目标小区建立公共前转通道并传输MBS数据,以使所述目标小区将所述MBS数据发送给UE。具体地,目标小区接收所述源小区在公共前转通道上,根据所述期望的MBS会话上下文列表信息发送的MBS数据,并将所述MBS数据发送到所述UE。
上述目标小区向源小区发起公共前转地址请求过程,可以但不限于为重用的UE associated的XN-U地址指示过程,或是定义新的非UE associated地址传输过程。
可选地,目标小区将触发向源小区的公共前转地址请求过程,其中包含本小区没有,且期望建立的MBS会话业务列表信息指示给源小区间的公共前转通道,该期望建立的MBS会话业务列表信息可以是per MBS会话的。接着源小区配置MBS资源,在公共前转通道开启相应的MBS会话数据包的前转操作,根据所述期望的MBS会话上下文列表信息发送的MBS数据,将所述MBS数据发送到所述UE。
之后,允许目标小区(或是网络实体),一直维持此通道,来进行MBS业务数据在本小区的传输。任何时候,目标小区或源小区可以在任何时候主动发起MBS会话的上下文释放过程,相应的前转通道也被释放,向所述去激活态的UE传输MBS数据。
方式三、通过N3通道进行MBS数据传输的方式
处于In-active态下的UE,当其移动到新的目标小区时,作为一种可选的实施方式,In-active态下的UE移动到目标小区,确定目标小区不能满足MBS会话需求,通过向源小区发送UE上下文请求消息,从源小区获取MBS会话上下文相关信息;在所述目标小区建立MBS会话上下文后,触发与第二网络侧设备的N3通道建立过程,源小区与目标小区建立向去激活态UE传输MBS数据的N3通道,通过所述N3通道,将MBS数据发送到所述目标小区,目标小区将所述MBS数据发送到去激活态的UE。
作为一种可选的实施方式,N3通道建立过程为重用的UE关联路径切换过程,或者为新定义的非UE关联MBS会话建立请求过程。通过N3通道接收UPF发送的MBS数据,并将所述MBS数据发送到所述UE。
方式四、通过公共前转通道和N3通道进行MBS数据传输的方式
处于In-active态下的UE,当其移动到新的目标小区时,作为一种可选的实施方式,In-active态下的UE移动到目标小区,确定目标小区不能满足MBS会话需求,通过向源小区发送UE上下文请求消息,从源小区获取MBS会话上下文相关信息;在所述目标小区建立MBS会话上下文后,触发向源小区第二网络侧设备发起公共前转地址请求过程,及与第三网络侧设备的N3通道建立过程。
可以同时触发建立公共前转通道和N3通道,或者先触发建立公共前转通道,再触发建立N3通道,建立公共前转通道和N3通道并传输MBS数据的详细过程参见上述实施方式的描述,这里不再重述。
需要说明的是,确定所述N3通过建立后,当前存在公共前转通道,且收到来自源小区在所述公共前转通道上发送的结束指示后,释放所述公共前转通道。具体过程为:如果目标小区先前或同时已经向第二网络侧设备发起公共前转地址请求过程,则源小区在公共前转通道开启相应的MBS会话数据包的前转操作,根据所述期望的MBS会话上下文列表信息发送的MBS数据,将所述MBS数据发送到所述UE。随后,目标小区接收到来自源小区前转通道上的end marker指示后,再释放针对此MBS会话建立的公共前转通道,通过所述N3通道接收UPF发送的MBS数据,并将所述MBS数据发送到所述UE。
