具体实施方式
以下,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)小区,指移动通信系统中,其中的一个网络设备或网络设备的一部分所覆盖的区域。这里的一个网络设备可以称为管理小区的网络设备。
2)过晚条件主辅小区变更(conditional PSCell change,CPC),指网络设备发送用于CPC流程的消息较晚,导致终端设备无法进行主辅小区的切换。例如,如源主小区所属的网络设备(称为源主网络设备),或源主辅小区所属的网络设备(称为源辅网络设备),向终端设备发送第一配置信息的时间较晚,导致终端设备在接收到第一配置信息前,或在确定出第一小区前,或在成功接入该第一小区前,源MCG(或源主网络设备)或源SCG(或源辅网络设备)发生RLF。
3)本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“多个”是指两个或两个以上,其它量词与之类似。“和/或”描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。此外,对于单数形式“a”,“an”和“the”出现的元素(element),除非上下文另有明确规定,否则其不意味着“一个或仅一个”,而是意味着“一个或多于一个”。例如,“a device”意味着对一个或多个这样的device。再者,至少一个(at least one of).......”意味着后续关联对象中的一个或任意组合,例如“A,B和C中的至少一个”包括A,B,C,AB,AC,BC,或ABC。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统,全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)通信系统,未来的第五代(5th Generation,5G)系统,如新一代无线接入技术(new radio access technology,NR),及未来的通信系统,如6G系统等。
本申请将围绕可包括多个设备、组件、模块等的系统来呈现各个方面、实施例或特征。应当理解和明白的是,各个系统可以包括另外的设备、组件、模块等,并且/或者可以并不包括结合附图讨论的所有设备、组件、模块等。此外,还可以使用这些方案的组合。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请实施例既可以应用在传统的典型网络中,也可以应用在未来的以UE为中心(UE-centric)的网络中。UE-centric网络引入无小区(Non-cell)的网络架构,即在某个特定的区域内部署大量小站,构成一个超级小区(Hyper cell),每个小站为Hyper cell的一个传输点(Transmission Point,TP)或传输接收点(Transmission and Reception Point,TRP),并与一个集中控制器(controller)相连。当UE在Hyper cell内移动时,网络侧设备时时为UE选择新的sub-cluster(子簇)为其服务,从而避免真正的小区切换,实现UE业务的连续性。其中,网络侧设备包括无线网络设备。或者是,在以UE为中心的网络中,多个网络侧设备,如小站,可以有独立的控制器,如分布式控制器,各小站能够独立调度用户,小站之间在长期上存在交互信息,使得在为UE提供协作服务时,也能够有一定的灵活性。
本申请实施例中不同基站可以为具有不同的标识的基站,也可以为具有相同的标识的被部署在不同地理位置的基站。由于在基站被部署前,基站并不会知道其是否会涉及本申请实施例所应用的场景,因而,基站,或基带芯片,都应在部署前就支持本申请实施例所 提供的方法。可以理解的是,前述具有不同标识的基站可以为基站标识,也可以为小区标识或者其他标识。
本申请实施例中部分场景以无线通信网络中NR网络的场景为例进行说明,应当指出的是,本申请实施例中的方案还可以应用于其他无线通信网络中,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。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以应用于通信设备间的无线通信。通信设备间的无线通信可以包括:网络设备和终端设备间的无线通信、网络设备和网络设备间的无线通信以及终端设备和终端设备间的无线通信。其中,在本申请实施例中,术语“无线通信”还可以简称为“通信”,术语“通信”还可以描述为“数据传输”、“信息传输”或“传输”。

终端设备101与第三网络设备106的接入可能失败,也可能成功。在终端设备与第三网络设备106接入失败,且源SCG或源MCG发生RLF时,终端设备可以向第一网络设备102、第二网络设备104或第三网络设备106上报第一消息。第一网络设备102、第二网络设备104和第三网络设备106可以交互合理且有效的信息,进行参数优化,从而提高终端设备101进行SN变更的可靠性。

作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
而如上介绍的各种终端,如果位于车辆上(例如放置在车辆内或安装在车辆内),都可以认为是车载终端,车载终端例如也称为车载单元(on-board unit,OBU)。
本申请实施例中,用于实现终端的功能的装置可以是终端,也可以是能够支持终端实现该功能的装置,例如芯片系统,该装置可以被安装在终端中。本申请实施例中,芯片系统可以由芯片构成,也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。本申请实施例提供的技术方案中,以用于实现终端的功能的装置是终端为例,描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。

图2是从设备交互的角度示出的本申请实施例提供的通信方法的示例性流程图。如图2所示,该方法可以包括:
步骤201:终端设备接收第一配置信息。
其中,终端设备可以从网络设备接收该第一配置信息。如果是主基站发起的主辅小区变更,则终端设备可以从源主基站接收第一配置信息,如果是辅基站发起的主辅小区变更,则终端设备可以从源辅基站接收第一配置信息。这里的第一配置信息包含至少一个候选目标主辅小区的信息和对应的主辅小区变更执行条件信息。第一配置信息用于确定第一小区。应理解,该第一小区是至少一个候选目标主辅小区中满足主辅小区变更执行条件的小区。终端设备也可以根据第一配置信息确定至少一个候选目标主辅小区中是否有满足主辅小区变更执行条件的小区,即确定是否存在第一小区。以下,对至少一个候选目标主辅小区的信息和对应的主辅小区变更执行条件信息进行解释和说明。
1、候选目标主辅小区的信息:可以包括每一个候选目标主辅小区的标识信息。例如,可以是测量标识(measurement identifier,measID),或者可以是配置标识(如condReconfigId),或者可以是物理小区标识(physical cell identifier,PCI),或者还可以是小区全球标识(Cell Global Identity,CGI)。候选目标主辅小区的信息还可以包括每一个候选目标主辅小区的小区索引(如cell index)、每一个候选目标主辅小区为终端设备分配的小区无线网络临时标识(cell–radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)、接入候选目标主辅小区所需的随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)资源、每一个候选目标主辅小区的频率信息、或每一个候选目标主辅小区的物理层配置参数、媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)层配置参数、无线链路控制层(radio link control,RLC)层配置参数、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层配置参数、业务数据适配协议(service data adaption protocol,SDAP)层配置参数或无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层配置参数等中的至少一个。
2、主辅小区变更执行条件:可以包括主辅小区变更执行事件类型和相应的门限值。 主辅小区变更事件类型可以包括事件A3、事件A5或其他执行事件类型。每一个候选目标主辅小区对应有一个或多个主辅小区变更执行条件。例如,一个候选目标主辅小区可以被配置一个执行事件类型,且可以被配置至少一个门限值和/或至多两个不同的触发质量(trigger quantity)。该触发质量可以包括参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)或信号噪声干扰比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)。其中,终端设备可以根据第一配置信息进行候选目标主辅小区是否满足主辅小区变更执行条件的判断。
例如,网络设备为候选目标主辅小区A配置的主辅小区变更执行事件类型是A3事件,且配置的对应门限值为第一阈值。则,终端设备可以在候选目标主辅小区A的小区信号质量比源主辅小区的小区信号质量高第一阈值时,认为候选目标主辅小区A满足主辅小区变更条件。换句话说,终端设备可以确定候选目标主辅小区A为第一小区。其中,小区信号质量可以包括RSRP、RSRQ、SINR中的至少一项。
步骤202:终端设备的源主小区组MCG或源辅小区组SCG发生无线链路失败,终端设备发送第一消息。
其中,终端设备可以向网络设备发送第一消息。这里的网络设备可以是源主基站(源主网络设备)也可以是源辅基站(源辅网络设备),或者还可以是管理第一小区的基站,或者还可以是当前为终端设备提供通信服务的基站。可选地,在一个实施方式中,终端设备可以在记录第一消息后,向网络设备发送第二指示信息。该第二指示信息可以通知网络设备:终端设备已记录第一消息,或者可以用于触发网络设备发送请求消息。该请求消息用于请求第一消息。网络设备在接收到第二指示信息后,可以向终端设备发送前述请求消息。那么,终端设备则可以根据该请求消息,向网络设备发送该第一消息。
这里的第一消息中可以包含第一时间段信息。第一时间段信息可以是以下中的至少一项:终端设备接收到第一配置信息开始至源MCG或源SCG发生RLF之间的时间段信息T1或源MCG或源SCG发生RLF开始至终端设备发送第一消息之间的时间段信息T2。
本发明方案中,源MCG发生RLF可以指源PCell和/或属于源主网络设备的至少一个SCell发生RLF,源SCG发生RLF可以指源PSCell和/或属于源辅网络设备的至少一个SCell发生RLF。
如图3所示,终端设备在t1时刻接收到第一配置信息,在t2时刻源MCG或源SCG发生RLF,在t3时刻发送第一消息。因此,该第一消息中可以包含T1或T2或者T1和T2。应理解,本申请实施例中的图中线段的长短并不能表示时间段的长短,如图3中表示T2的线段长于表示T1的线段,但并不能够表示T2长于T1,图中的时间段信息仅是示例性的。
另外需要说明的是,源MCG或源SCG发生RLF的具体时刻的不同会导致第一时间段信息的不同。以下,根据源MCG或源SCG发生RLF的时间介绍第一时间段信息。
示例一、在源MCG或源SCG发生RLF时不存在第一小区。
其中,不存在第一小区可以是在源MCG或源SCG发生RLF时不存在第一小区,或者,在源MCG或源SCG发生RLF之前,终端设备未能根据第一配置信息确定出第一小区。该场景中,终端设备可以发送如图3所示的第一时间段信息。例如,第一时间段信息可以包含T1或者T2或者T1和T2。
其中,第一网络设备在接收到终端设备发送的该第一消息时,第一网络设备可以向第 二网络设备发送第二消息。该第二消息可以包含第一消息的部分或全部。如图4所示,为终端设备与网络侧通信的示例性流程图,可以包括以下步骤:
步骤401:终端设备向第一网络设备发送第一消息。
这里的第一消息可以包括如图3所示的第一消息。例如,第一时间段信息可以包含T1或者T2或者T1和T2。
第一消息中,还可以包含源MCG或源SCG发生RLF的指示信息。可选地,第一消息中还可以包含源PCell和/或源PSCell和/或至少一个候选目标主辅小区的小区信息,其中,所述的小区信息包括以下至少一项:PCI、频率信息、CGI、标识信息(如测量标识、配置标识)。可选地,第一消息中还可以包含小区的信号质量,如源MCG发生RLF时,以下至少一个小区的信号质量:源PCell、源PSCell、至少一个候选目标主辅小区。可选地,第一消息中还可以包含所述终端设备接收到所述第一配置信息的指示信息。可选地,第一消息中还可以包含所述终端设备未确定出所述第一小区的指示信息。可选地,第一消息中还可以包含至少一个候选目标主辅小区的信息、对应的主辅小区变更执行条件信息。
步骤402:第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第二消息。
这里的第二消息可以包含上述第一消息的部分或全部。例如,第二消息可以包含如图3所示的第一时间段信息。其中,如果是管理源SCG的源SN(即源辅网络设备)发起的CPC,且源MCG发生RLF,那么第一网络设备可以是管理源SCG的源SN,第二网络设备可以是管理源MCG的源MN(即源主网络设备),或者还可以是管理候选目标主辅小区的候选SN(即候选辅网络设备)。例如,源SN可以向源MN和/或候选SN发送第二消息,或者源SN可以向源MN发送第二消息,源MN可以向候选SN转发包含在第二消息中的部分或全部。源MN在接收到该第二消息后,可以进行MN的重新配置。例如,可以更换MN(如将其他网络设备配置成新的主网络设备),或者可以更换MCG,而保持MN不变化(如将源MN下的其他小区配置成新的PCell),或者,可以释放源MN(如释放源MCG配置信息)。候选SN在接收到上述第二消息后,可以进行CPC参数调整,例如,候选SN可以调整第一配置信息。上述第二消息还可以包含第一信息。该第一信息可以指示发生过晚CPC,即源SN收到第一消息后,认为发生过晚CPC,源SN发送的第二消息中可以包含第一信息。可选地,若是源SN向终端设备发送的第一配置信息,则源SN可以调整触发源MN与候选SN进行CPC准备流程的时间、调整主辅小区变更执行条件信息、调整发送第一配置信息的时间。在源MN或者候选SN接收到指示发生过晚CPC的第一信息时,可选地,若是源MN向终端设备发送的第一配置信息,则源MN可以根据该第一信息,调整与候选SN进行CPC准备的时间、发送第一配置信息的时间,候选SN可以调整至少一个候选目标主辅小区的信息、配置候选目标主辅小区的信息的时间。
如果是源SN发起的CPC,且源SCG发生RLF,该第一网络设备可以是源MN,第二网络设备可以是源SN,或者还可以是候选SN。可选的,源MN在接收到上述第一消息后,可以根据第一消息判断出发生过晚CPC,因此,源MN向第二网络设备(如源SN)发送的第二消息中还可以包含指示发生过晚CPC的第一信息。若是源MN向终端设备发送的第一配置信息,则源MN可以根据第一消息,调整与候选SN进行CPC准备的时间、发送第一配置信息的时间,源MN还可以释放源SN(如释放源SCG配置信息);或者源MN还可以保持源SN不变,例如,源MN可以更换SCG或PSCell,而更换后的SCG/PSCell仍然属于源SN;或者,源MN还可以更改SN,例如,将其他网络设备配置成新的辅网络 设备。源SN接收到源MN发送的上述第二消息后,可以认为发生过晚CPC,可以调整触发源MN与候选SN进行CPC准备流程的时间、主辅小区变更执行条件信息、发送第一配置信息的时间,候选SN在接收到源MN发送的或经由源SN转发的上述第二消息后,可以进行CPC参数调整,例如,候选SN可以调整至少一个候选目标主辅小区的信息、配置候选目标主辅小区的信息的时间。
如果是源MN发起的CPC,且源MCG发生RLF,那么第一网络设备可以是源SN,第二网络设备可以是源MN。源MN在接收到第二消息后,可以根据第二消息判断出发生过晚CPC。例如,可以根据第二消息中的第一时间段信息判断出发生过晚CPC。这里的过晚CPC可以指网络设备发送用于CPC流程的消息(如第一配置信息)较晚,导致终端设备无法进行主辅小区的切换。若是源MN向终端设备发送的第一配置信息,则,源MN可以调整与候选SN进行CPC准备的时间、主辅小区变更执行条件信息、发送第一配置信息的时间。另一方面,由于源MCG发生RLF,源MN还可以调整MN,例如,源MN可以更换MN(如将其他网络设备配置成新的主网络设备),或者可以更换MCG而保持MN不变化(如将源MN下的其他小区配置成新的PCell),或者,可以释放源MN(如释放源MCG配置信息)。源MN还可以向候选SN转发上述第二消息。该第二消息可以包含指示发生过晚CPC的第一信息。候选SN在接收到上述第二消息后,可以进行CPC参数调整,例如,可以调整至少一个候选目标主辅小区的信息,或者,候选SN还可以调整配置候选目标主辅小区的信息的时间。
如果是源MN发起的CPC,且源SCG发生RLF,则该第一网络设备可以是源MN,该第二网络设备可以是源SN。源MN接收到第一消息后,源MN可以释放源SN,或者源MN可以更换SCG或PSCell,而更换后的SCG/PSCell仍然属于源SN;或者,源MN还可以更改SN,例如,将其他网络设备配置成新的辅网络设备。另外,源MN可以判断出发生过晚CPC,若是源MN向终端设备发送的第一配置信息,则,源MN可以调整与候选SN进行CPC准备的时间、主辅小区变更执行条件信息、发送第一配置信息的时间。源SN在接收到源MN发送的第二消息后,可以根据第二消息中的过晚CPC指示信息,调整触发CPC的时间。可选地,该第二网络设备还可以是候选SN,候选SN在接收到上述第二消息后,可以进行CPC参数调整,例如,可以调整至少一个候选目标主辅小区的信息。
可选地,候选SN接收到第二消息后,可以向源MN或源SN发送第三消息,所述第三消息可以包括所述第二消息的部分或全部,可选地,所述第三消息可以包括第二信息,所述第二信息指示发生过晚CPC。
示例二、终端设备确定出第一小区之前,源SCG发生RLF。
如果在确定出第一小区之前,源SCG发生RLF,终端设备还可以继续根据第一配置信息判断是否存在第一小区,一种可能,源SCG发生RLF后,终端设备确定出第一小区,并向第一小区发起接入。需要说明的是,根据终端设备是否成功接入第一小区,第一时间段信息可以分为以下三种情况:
1)终端设备成功接入第一小区。
如果终端设备成功接入第一小区,如图5所示,第一时间段信息还可以包括以下中的至少一项:
