- the uplink carrier and the DL carrier are in the same frequency band. .
- the frequency bands and frequency points used are relatively high, such as millimeter waves. The higher the frequency band, the greater the signal transmission loss. Since the transmit power of the terminal equipment is limited, the uplink coverage of the terminal equipment is limited. Therefore, the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) NR protocol introduces a SUL carrier into the uplink carrier, and NR support can configure a SUL carrier in addition to a NUL carrier in a cell.
- the uplink transmission may be performed through the NUL carrier and/or the SUL carrier of the cell.
- the system information block (SIB) of the serving cell may include whether the cell is configured with an SUL carrier.
- the SUL carrier is generally in a low frequency band, such as a long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) frequency band, which can be used to ensure uplink coverage of terminal equipment.
- LTE long term evolution
- the SUL carrier frequency is lower than the NUL carrier frequency, due to propagation loss and other reasons, the coverage of the SUL carrier will be larger than that of the NUL carrier, so using the SUL carrier can improve the uplink coverage of the cell;
- the coverage of the NUL carrier due to reasons such as ratios is smaller than the coverage of the DL carrier corresponding to the NUL.
- Using the SUL carrier can also align the coverage of the uplink carrier of the cell with the coverage of the DL carrier corresponding to the NUL. When the difference between the SUL carrier frequency and the NUL carrier frequency is larger, the coverage of the SUL will be larger than the coverage of the DL carrier corresponding to the NUL.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of uplink carrier coverage provided by an embodiment of the present application.
- the cell of site 1 has a NUL carrier and a DL carrier corresponding to the NUL carrier;
- the cell of site 2 has a NUL carrier, a DL carrier corresponding to the NUL carrier, and a SUL carrier.
- the uplink coverage of the SUL carrier may be larger than the coverage of the DL carrier corresponding to the NUL carrier of the same site. In this way, multiple cells can be covered by the same SUL carrier, for example, the cell in site 1 is also covered by the SUL carrier in site 2 at the same time.
- N TA-offset The offset of the uplink transmission time relative to the downlink reception time, which is used to ensure that the terminal device in the time division duplex (TDD) mode has enough time to complete the uplink transmission at the same frequency point to the downlink receiving device. switch.
- the value of N TA-offset can be configured by RRC. If there is no high-level signaling notification, the value predefined by the protocol can be used.
- the NUL carrier and the SUL carrier may belong to the same timing advance group (TAG), and the two uplink carriers in one TAG use the same timing reference cell and the same TA value.
- the TA offset value N TA-offset of the NUL carrier and the SUL carrier is also the same.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of uplink data transmission provided by an embodiment of the present application.
- the time (in time) of the first detection path of the corresponding downlink frame For a serving cell in a primary timing advance group (PTAG), the terminal equipment should use a special cell (special cell, SpCell) as a reference cell to obtain the terminal equipment sending timing of the cell in the PTAG.
- the terminal device may use any activated SpCell as a reference cell to obtain the terminal device sending timing of the cell in the STAG.
- the transmission timing of the terminal device can also be understood as the start time of the uplink frame transmission of the terminal device in FIG. 2 .
- the terminal equipment when the terminal equipment performs handover, it needs to perform random access on the NUL carrier or SUL carrier of the first cell to obtain the TA value of the uplink carrier of the terminal equipment in the first cell, and then according to the TA value.
- the uplink synchronization of the terminal equipment in the first cell is completed.
- the problem of time delay and interruption may occur in the handover process of the terminal equipment to the target cell that requires random access, so that the efficiency of communication is reduced.
- the embodiments of the present application provide a communication method, which can improve the efficiency of communication.
- the terminal device when the signal quality of the current cell becomes poor, the terminal device can perform handover, which is different from the prior art, that is, the terminal device needs random access during the handover process, so as to determine that the terminal device switches to the first cell.
- the carrier on which the terminal device performs uplink transmission in the first cell is the first carrier, and the first carrier may be is the carrier of the terminal device in the first cell, the second carrier may be the carrier of the terminal device in the second cell, and then determine the TA value of the terminal device in the first carrier.
- the terminal equipment can continue to send uplink transmission on the SUL carrier in the first cell, that is, the terminal equipment can continue to send uplink transmissions on the SUL carrier in the first cell.
- the uplink transmission can be sent on the same carrier as the first cell, that is, the SUL carrier, and then the TA value of the SUL carrier of the terminal device in the first cell is determined.
- the uplink synchronization of the SUL carrier of the terminal device in the first cell can be realized without random access. Therefore, the solution provided by the present application can effectively avoid the delay and interruption problems that may occur during the handover process of the terminal equipment to the first cell that requires random access, and can improve the efficiency of communication.

本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法、装置及计算机可读存储介质。
在无线通信系统中,当用户设备(user equipment,UE)处于业务连接状态,保持业务服务时,从一个小区移动到另外一个小区,为了保证UE通信的连续性,需要进行切换。
在新无线接入系统(new radio access technology,NR)中,进行切换过程中,UE需要向目标小区进行随机接入以获得UE切换到目标小区后的定时提前(timing advance,TA)值,来完成UE在目标小区的上行同步。然而,UE向目标小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生时延和中断的问题,以致降低了通信的效率。

在终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波,可以理解为,终端设备切换后,在第一小区与第一网络设备通信,第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输,终端设备可以在第一载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备再将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备,例如,第四网络设备可以通过回程将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备。如果第一网络设备就是第四网络设备,那么终端设备可以直接在第一载波向第一网络设备发送上行传输,第一载波和第二载波属于同一个频段,且终端设备在第一载波和第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。第二载波为终端设备在第二小区的载波。
在终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波,也可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在与第二载波同一个频段的第一载波上,向第四网络设备发送上行传输;还可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在与第二载波同频率位置的第一载波上,向第四网络设备发送上行传输;还可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在同一个载波上,即第二载波,继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输。例如,终端设备在第一小区的辅助上行(supplementary uplink,SUL)载波和在第二小区的SUL载波属于同一个频段,终端设备分别在两个小区中,在SUL载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在该SUL载波发送的上行传输的网络设备。又例如,终端设备在第一小区的SUL载波和在第二小区的NUL载波属于同一个频段,终端设备分别在两个小区中,在NUL(或SUL)载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在NUL(或SUL)载波发送的上行传输的网络设备。又例如,终端设备在第一小区的NUL载波和在第二小区的SUL载波属于同一个频段,终端设备分别在两个小区中,在SUL(或NUL)载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输, 第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在SUL(或NUL)载波发送的上行传输的网络设备。因此,本申请提供的方案,能够有效避免终端设备向第一小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生的时延和中断问题,可以提高通信的效率。

应理解,如果终端设备切换到第一小区后,上行载波只有第一载波,那么确定终端设备在第一载波的TA值,也可以理解为确定终端设备在第一小区的TA值;如果终端设备切换到第一小区后,上行载波有第一载波,也有其他载波,在第一载波与其他载波的TA值相同的情况下,确定终端设备在第一载波的TA值,也可以理解为确定终端设备在第一小区的TA值。
终端设备确定在终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波之后,可以根据在第二载波的发送定时、第一小区的下行链路定时和第一小区的TA偏移值,确定第一TA值。第一载波和第二载波可以为上行载波,那么终端设备在第二载波的发送定时,可以理解为,终端设备在第二载波的上行定时。第一TA值为终端设备在第一载波的TA值。这样,无需随机接入,就可以确定在第一载波的TA值,从而实现终端设备在第一小区的第一载波的上行同步。因此,本申请提供的方案,能够有效避免终端设备向第一小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生的时延和中断问题,可以提高通信的效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在所述第一小区的有效载波中存在与所述第二载波相同的载波。

第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波是相同的载波,可以理解为,终端设备在第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收,且满足以下至少一个条件:第一载波和第二载波的载波频率相同;第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波和第二载波的频率参考点相同;第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波和第二载波的频率位置相同;第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波和第二载波的载波带宽相同。
有效载波,可以理解为,覆盖小区的载波,或者覆盖小区且可被配置的载波,或者小区中可被配置的载波,或者属于小区的载波,或者被配置给终端设备使用的载波,或者小区被配置的载波,或者被至少一个小区共享使用(配置)的载波,或者是终端设备从小区的系统消息可获取到配置信息的载波,或者是终端设备从小区的专有信令可获取到配置信息的载波,有效载波可以为一个或多个,本申请对此不作限定。终端设备在小区被调度的数据或控制信息可以在有效载波发送。
在本申请提供的方案中,如果第一小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波相同的载波,可以保证终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载 波为第一载波。这样,无需随机接入,就可以实现切换,可以提高通信的效率。如果第一小区的有效载波中不存在与第二载波相同的载波,那么终端设备切换过程中还要进行随机接入,可能产生时延和中断的问题。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该通信方法还包括:在所述终端设备在第二小区的载波为第三载波,且所述第一小区的有效载波中不存在与所述第三载波相同的载波的情况下,所述终端设备在第二小区中切换至所述第二载波。
在本申请提供的方案中,如果终端设备在第二小区的载波是第三载波,第一小区的有效载波中不存在与第三载波相同的载波,那么终端设备可以在第二小区中先从第三载波切换至第二载波。这样,可以保证第一小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波相同的载波,可以保证终端设备在切换后,在第一小区的第一载波进行上行传输。这样,无需随机接入,就可以实现切换,可以提高通信的效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该通信方法还包括:接收第二网络设备发送的第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端设备在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波,所述第二网络设备为所述第二小区对应的网络设备。

在本申请提供的方案中,由于在终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波,即切换前后,终端设备在第二小区和第一小区发送上行传输的是同一频段的载波,且终端设备在第一载波和第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收,所以终端设备发送上行传输的发送定时应该保持不变。从第二小区切换到第一小区,在第一小区进行上行传输时,终端设备需要参考第一小区的下行链路定时,不再需要参考第二小区的下行链路定时,所以终端设备在第一载波的TA值需要进行相应的调整。具体地,第一信息可以是第二网络设备下发给终端设备的,在第二载波的发送定时是终端设备已确定的,第一小区的下行链路定时是可以由终端设备通过检测第一小区的同步信号块(synchronization signal/PBCH block,SSB)信息或其他参考信号获得的。因此,终端设备可以根据第一信息、在第二载波的发送定时和第一小区的下行链路定时确 定第一TA值,从而实现终端设备在第一小区的第一载波的上行同步。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一TA值可以满足如下公式:
其中,N

为了便于理解本申请,首先在此介绍本申请实施例涉及的相关技术知识。
1、辅助上行
一个小区(cell)一般包含上行载波(uplink carrier)(该上行载波可以称为NUL载波)和下行(downlink,DL)载波(downlink carrier),上行载波和DL载波在同一个频段(frequency band)内。但是在5G时代,所用的频段、频点都比较高,比如毫米波等。频段越高,信号传输损耗越大。由于终端设备的发射功率是受限的,这就会导致终端设备的上行覆盖受限制。因此,第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)NR协议在上行载波中引入了SUL载波,NR支持在一个小区中除了可以配置一个NUL载波外,还可以配置一个SUL载波,终端设备可以通过小区的NUL载波和/或SUL载波进行上行传输。服务 小区的系统信息块(system information block,SIB)中可以包含小区是否被配置了SUL载波。
SUL载波一般处于低频段,如长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)频段,可以用于保证终端设备的上行覆盖。若SUL载波频率低于NUL载波频率,由于传播损耗等原因,SUL载波的覆盖范围会大于NUL载波的覆盖范围,这样使用SUL载波就可以提升小区的上行覆盖范围;由于频点、器件和时隙比等原因导致的NUL载波的覆盖小于NUL对应的DL载波的覆盖,使用SUL载波也可以使得小区上行载波的覆盖范围与NUL对应的DL载波的覆盖范围对齐。当SUL载波频率与NUL载波频率差距更大时,SUL覆盖范围就会大于NUL对应的DL载波的覆盖范围。
请参阅图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种上行链路载波覆盖的示意图。如图1所示,站点1的小区有NUL载波和NUL载波对应的DL载波;站点2的小区有NUL载波、NUL载波对应的DL载波和SUL载波。若站点2中的SUL载波频点相对于NUL载波频点较低时,SUL载波的上行覆盖范围就可能大于与其共站址的NUL载波对应的DL载波的覆盖范围。这样多个小区就可以被同一个SUL载波所覆盖,例如,站点1中的小区也同时被站点2中的SUL载波所覆盖。
2、TA
TA的存在是为了确保同一小区中不同距离的终端设备发送的上行数据达到网络设备的时间都落在循环前缀之内。N
TA-offset上行发送时刻相对于下行接收时刻的偏移量,用于确保时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)模式中的终端设备有足够的时间完成同频点的上行发送到下行接收的切换。N
TA-offset数值可以由RRC配置,如果没有高层信令通知,则可以采用协议预定义的数值。
NUL载波和SUL载波可以属于同一个定时提前量组(timing advance group,TAG),一个TAG里面的两个上行载波使用同样的定时参考小区和同样的TA值。NUL载波和SUL载波的TA偏移值N
TA-offset也是相同的。
请参阅图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的一种上行数据传输的结构示意图。如图2所示,终端设备发送第i个上行帧,应该在终端设备对应的下行帧的起始位置之前T

TA+N
TA-offset)T
C也可以理解为终端设备发送定时和下行链路定时之间的差距,其中,下行链路定时被定义为从参考小区接收到对应的下行链路帧的第一检测路径(时间上)的时间。对主定时提前量组(primary timing advance group,PTAG)中的服务小区,终端设备应使用特殊小区(special cell,SpCell)作为参考小区,以得出PTAG中小区的终端设备发送定时。对辅定时提前量组(secondary timing advance group,STAG)中的服务小区, 终端设备可以使用任意一个激活的SpCell作为参考小区,以得出STAG中小区的终端设备发送定时。而终端设备发送定时也可以理解为图2中的终端设备上行帧传输起始时刻。
NR中,终端设备在进行切换时,需要在第一小区的NUL载波或SUL载波上进行随机接入(random access),以获取终端设备在第一小区上行载波的TA值,进而根据TA值来完成终端设备在第一小区的上行同步。然而,终端设备向目标小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生时延和中断的问题,以致降低了通信的效率。
鉴于上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,能够提高通信的效率。
本申请实施例中,在当前小区的信号质量变差的情况下,终端设备可以进行切换,与现有技术,即终端设备在切换过程中需要随机接入,以确定终端设备切换到第一小区后在第一载波的TA值相比,本申请实施例终端设备在从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波,第一载波可以是终端设备在第一小区的载波,第二载波可以是终端设备在第二小区的载波,再确定终端设备在第一载波的TA值。例如,终端设备在第二小区的载波是SUL载波,则切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中可以继续在该SUL载波发送上行传输,即终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在同一个载波,即该SUL载波,发送上行传输,再确定终端设备在第一小区的该SUL载波的TA值。这样,无需随机接入,可以实现终端设备在第一小区的该SUL载波的上行同步。因此,本申请提供的方案,能够有效避免终端设备向第一小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生的时延和中断问题,可以提高通信的效率。

第三小区的信息是第二终端设备已知的,由于第三小区是第五小区中的至少一个小区,所以第三小区的测量结果是可以从终端设备上报的第五小区的测量结果中得到,所以第二网络设备可以根据第三小区的测量结果和第三小区的信息确定第一小区。
第三小区的有效载波与第二小区的有效载波存在相同的载波,可以理解为,第二小区的有效载波中的一个载波存在于第三小区的有效载波中,也可以理解为,第二小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第三小区的有效载波中的一个载波是相同的载波。第三小区的有效载波与第二小区的有效载波相同的载波可以有至少一个。

优先级可以从每个小区对应的优先级数值体现,优先级数值可以根据至少一个数值确定。
在一个实施例中,优先级数值可以有第一数值、第二数值、第三数值和第四数值,其中:
若小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波,则可以对该小区赋值第一数值,第二载波可以是第二小区的载波;
若小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波异站址的载波,则可以对该小区赋值第二数值;
若小区的有效载波中存在与第二小区的有效载波中除第二载波之外的其他载波共站址的载波,则可以对该小区赋值第三数值;
若小区的有效载波中存在与第二小区的有效载波中除第二载波之外的其他载波异站址的载波,则可以对该小区赋值第四数值。
应理解,共站址可以表征的是载波与载波之间的共站址,也可以表征的是小区与小区之间的共站址,还可以表征的是网络设备与网络设备之间的共站址,还可以表征小区与载波之间的共站址,还可以表征载波与网络设备之间的共站址,还可以表征小区与网络设备之间的共站址。例如,如果某个上行载波对应的网络设备跟小区的下行载波对应的网络设备是在相同的站址的,则可以表示这个上行载波与这个小区是共站址的,如果某个上行载波对应的网络设备跟小区的下行载波对应的网络设备是在不同的站址的,则可以表示这个上行载波与这个小区是异站址的。上行载波对应的网络设备,可以理解为,可以接收终端设备在这个载波发送的上行传输的网络设备。下行载波对应的网络设备,可以理解为,终端设备在这个载波可以接收网络设备的下行传输。

其中,第一数值、第二数值、第三数值和第四数值可以是不同的数值,优先选择有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波的小区。例如,第一数值可以大于第二数值,第二数值可以大于第三数值,第三数值可以大于第四数值;或者第一数值可以大于第三数值,第三数值可以大于第二数值,第二数值可以大于第四数值。相对应地,优先级数值越大,小区的优先级越高。
在一个实施例中,可以选择数值最高的作为该小区的优先级,每个小区可以被赋值一次,例如,小区同时满足被赋值第一数值和第三数值的情况下,则可以根据第一数值大于第三数值对小区赋值第一数值。

在一个实施例中,在小区的优先级相同的情况下,可以根据小区的测量结果优先选择测量结果好的小区作为第一小区;在小区的测量结果相同的情况下,可以根据小区的优先级优先选择优先级高的小区作为第一小区。
应理解,第一数值、第二数值、第三数值和第四数值可以是第二网络设备提前设置好的,也可以是在协议中预定义的,还可以是在获取到第三小区的信息时,实时设置的,本申请对此不作限定。

在允许所述终端设备接入的情况下,第一网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送用于允许所述终端设备接入第一网络设备的允许信息,还可以向第二网络设备发送要作为RRC消息发送给终端设备的透明容器,以使终端设备执行切换。
在不允许所述终端设备接入的情况下,第二网络设备可以按照步骤403重新确定第一小区,再向第三网络设备发送用于请求终端设备接入第三网络设备请求信息,第三网络设备可以是第二网络设备重新确定的第一小区对应的网络设备。

405、第二网络设备向终端设备发送用于指示第一小区的信息的第二指示信息。
相应地,终端设备可以接收第二网络设备发送的用于指示第一小区的信息的第二指示信息。
第二网络设备接收第一小区对应的网络设备发送的用于允许终端设备接入的允许信息之后,可以向终端设备发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示第一小区的信息,还可以通过向终端设备发送消息来触发终端设备进行切换,该消息可以包括访问第一小区所需的信息:第一小区ID和所选安全算法的第一网络设备安全算法标识符等,该消息可以携带于RRC消息或物理下行共享信道(physical dounlink control channel,PDCCH)消息中。终端设备接收第二网络设备下发的第二指示信息,终端设备可以通过第二指示信息包括的第一小区的ID,确定将要切换到的第一小区是哪个小区,使得终端设备可以不需要读取系统信息就可以接入第一小区,可以提高通信的效率。
406、确定在终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波。
终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的第二指示信息之后,可以确定终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波。终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在与第二载波同一个频段的第一载波上,进行上行传输;也可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在与第二载波同频率位置的第一载波上,进行上行传输;还可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在同一个载波上,即第二载波,继续进行上行传输。
第一载波为第一小区的载波,第二载波为第二小区的载波,可以理解为,第一载波为第一小区对应的载波,第二载波为第二小区对应的载波;也可以理解为,第一载波为被第一小区配置的载波,第二载波为被第二小区配置的载波。
第一载波和第二载波可以属于同一个频段,且终端设备在第一载波和第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。在一种可能的方式中,第一载波和第二载波是同一载波。
第一载波和第二载波是同一个载波,可以理解为,终端设备在第一载波和第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收,且满足以下至少一个条件:第一载波和第二载波的载波频率相同;第一载波和第二载波的频率参考点相同;第一载波和第二载波的频率位置相同;第一载波和第二载波的载波带宽相同。
在终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波,可以理解为,终端设备切换后,在第一小区与第一网络设备通信,第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输,终端设备可以在第一载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备再将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备,例如,第四网络设备可以通过回程将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备。如果第一网络设备就是第四网络设备,那么终端设备可以直接在第一载波向第一网络设备发送上行传输,第一载波和第二载波属 于同一个频段,且终端设备在第一载波和第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。第二载波为终端设备在第二小区的载波。
在终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一小区中终端设备进行上行传输的载波为第一载波,也可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在与第二载波同一个频段的第一载波上,向第四网络设备发送上行传输;还可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在与第二载波同频率位置的第一载波上,向第四网络设备发送上行传输;还可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以在同一个载波上,即第二载波,继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输。例如,终端设备在第一小区的辅助上行(supplementary uplink,SUL)载波和在第二小区的SUL载波属于同一个频段,终端设备分别在两个小区中,在SUL载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在该SUL载波发送的上行传输的网络设备。又例如,终端设备在第一小区的SUL载波和在第二小区的NUL载波属于同一个频段,终端设备分别在两个小区中,在NUL(或SUL)载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在NUL(或SUL)载波发送的上行传输的网络设备。又例如,终端设备在第一小区的NUL载波和在第二小区的SUL载波属于同一个频段,终端设备分别在两个小区中,在SUL(或NUL)载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在SUL(或NUL)载波发送的上行传输的网络设备。因此,本申请提供的方案,能够有效避免终端设备向第一小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生的时延和中断问题,可以提高通信的效率。
在第一种可行的实现方式中,在第一小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波相同的载波。如果第一小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波相同的载波,可以保证终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一载波进行上行传输;在一个实施例中,如果在第一小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波同一频段的载波,且终端设备在第一小区的有效载波和第二载波发送的上行传输由相同的网络设备接收,也可以保证终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区后,在第一载波进行上行传输。这样,无需随机接入,就可以实现切换,可以提高通信的效率。如果第一小区的有效载波中不存在与第二载波相同的载波,那么终端设备切换过程中还要进行随机接入,可能产生时延和中断的问题。
第一小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波相同的载波,可以理解为,第二载波存在于第一小区的有效载波中,也可以理解为,第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波是相同的载波。第一小区的有效载波中存在至少一个与第二载波相同的载波。
第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波是相同的载波,可以理解为,终端设备在第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收,且满足以下至少一个条件:第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波的载波频率相同;第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波的频率参考点相同;第一小区的有效载波中的一个载波与第二载波的频率位置相同;第一载波和第二载波的载波带宽相同。
在另一种可行的实现方式中,终端设备在第二小区的载波是第三载波,且第一小区的有效载波中不存在与第三载波相同的载波的情况下,终端设备可以在第二小区中先切换至第二载波,第二载波是与第一小区有效载波中相同的一个载波。这样,可以保证第一小区 的有效载波中存在与第二载波相同的载波,可以保证终端设备在切换后,在第一载波进行上行传输。这样,无需随机接入,就可以实现切换,可以提高通信的效率。
在一个实施例中,终端设备在第二小区的载波是第三载波,且第一小区的有效载波中不存在与第三载波同一频段,且终端设备在第一小区的有效载波和第三载波发送上行传输不由一个网络设备接收的载波的情况下,终端设备可以在第二小区中先切换至第二载波,第二载波是与第一小区的有效载波同一频段的一个载波,且终端设备在第二载波和第一小区的有效载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。
在又一种可行的实现方式中,第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送用于指示终端设备在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波的第一指示信息。终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的第一指示信息之后,可以根据第一指示信息确定终端设备在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波。确定终端设备在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波的信息可以是由第二网络设备下发给终端设备的,不需要终端设备来确定。因此,可以减少终端设备的资源消耗。
在一个实施例中,第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送第四指示信息,第四指示信息可以用于指示终端设备在切换过程中是否跳过随机接入,在第四指示信息指示终端设备在切换过程中跳过随机接入时,终端设备可以根据第一指示信息或终端设备在第二小区的载波信息确定第一载波。例如,若终端设备在第二小区只有一个SUL载波,而该SUL载波与第一小区的有效载波中的至少一个SUL载波是同一个频段的载波,且终端设备在该SUL载波与第一小区的有效载波中的至少一个SUL载波发送上行传输由同一个网络设备接收,那么终端设备在接收第四指示信息后,跳过随机接入过程,确定第一载波为该SUL载波。又例如,若终端设备在第二小区只有一个SUL载波,终端设备收到第一指示信息,第一指示信息指示该SUL载波与第一小区的有效载波中的至少一个SUL载波是同一个频段的载波,且终端设备在该SUL载波与第一小区的有效载波中的至少一个SUL载波发送上行传输由同一个网络设备接收,终端设备收到第四指示信息后,跳过随机接入过程,确定第一载波为该SUL载波。这样,无需随机接入,就可以实现切换,可以提高通信的效率。
在一个实施例中,第二网络设备还可以向终端设备发送第五指示信息,第五指示信息可以包括指示终端设备继续使用第二载波资源,例如,继续使用第二载波资源中的某个带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)的指示信息,某个BWP可以是初始BWP,也可以是首先激活BWP。第五指示信息还可以包括指示终端设备不再使用第二载波的资源,使用新的上行资源,新的上行资源可以是上行链路授权,上行链路授权可以是终端设备在第一载波,也可以是在第四载波。上行链路授权也可以是终端设备检测第一小区的PDCCH消息中获得的。通过第五指示信息,终端设备可以无需从第一小区重新获取第一载波的配置信息,就可以直接利用第二载波的全部或部分资源进行通信。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备在第二小区或者第一小区的载波可以是一个或多个。
例如,假设终端设备在第二小区有一个载波,切换到第一小区之后,第一小区也有一个载波,则终端设备在第一小区的载波与在第二小区的载波可以是同一个频段的载波,且终端设备在这两个载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。
又例如,假设终端设备在第二小区有一个载波,切换到第一小区之后,第一小区有多个载波,则终端设备在第一小区的多个载波中的一个载波与在第二小区的载波可以是同一个频段的载波,且终端设备在这两个载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。
又例如,假设终端设备在第二小区有多个载波,切换到第一小区之后,第一小区有一个载波,则终端设备在第一小区的载波与在第二小区的多个载波中的一个载波可以是同一个频段的载波,且终端设备在这两个载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。
又例如,假设终端设备在第二小区有多个载波,切换到第一小区之后,第一小区有多个载波,则终端设备在第一小区的多个载波与在第二小区的多个载波中的部分或全部载波是同一个频段的载波,且终端设备在这部分或全部载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。例如,终端设备在第一小区的多个载波中的一个载波与在第二小区的多个载波中的一个载波是同一个频段的载波,且终端设备在这两个载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收;又例如,终端设备在第一小区的多个载波中的两个载波与在第二小区的多个载波中的两个载波是相同的载波。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一载波或第二载波可以是NUL载波,也可以是SUL载波,还可以是以下载波中的至少一种:TDD载波、TDD载波的上行时间单元、FDD载波以及FDD载波的上行时间单元,所述时间单元为时隙或子帧,这样可以扩大可被用作SUL载波的载波范围。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备在第二小区的载波是SUL载波,切换到第一小区后,终端设备在第一小区的载波可以是SUL载波,也可以是NUL载波(该载波相对于第二小区可以是SUL载波,而相对于第一小区可以是NUL载波),还可以是其他的载波。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备在第二小区的载波是NUL载波,切换到第一小区后,终端设备在第一小区的载波可以是SUL载波(该载波相对于第二小区可以是NUL载波,而相对于第一小区可以是SUL载波),也可以是NUL载波,还可以是其他的载波。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二网络设备发送第一指示信息时,还可以包括第一载波可以被用作上行的时间资源的信息,被用作上行的时间资源的信息可以包括被用作上行的时隙、子帧的位置和上下行时隙配比。这样,有利于终端设备提前获取第一载波的配置信息。
407、第二网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息。
相应地,终端设备可以接收第二网络设备发送的第一信息。
终端设备确定在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波之后,可以接收第二网络设备发送的第一信息,该第一信息可以包括第一小区的TA偏移值,还可以包括第一小区与第二小区之间的时隙偏移值、第一小区与第二小区之间的系统帧号偏移值和第一小区与第二小区之间的帧边界偏移值中的至少一个。
408、终端设备确定第一TA值。
终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的第一信息之后,可以根据该第一信息、终端设备在第二载波的发送定时、第一小区的下行链路定时和第一小区的TA偏移值,确定第一TA值。由于在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波,即切换前直到切换后,终端设备在第二小区和第一小区发送上行传输的是同一频段的载波,且终端设备在第一载波和 第二载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收,所以终端设备发送上行传输的发送定时应该保持不变。从第二小区切换到第一小区,在第一小区进行上行传输时,终端设备需要参考第一小区的下行链路定时,不再需要参考第二小区的下行链路定时,所以终端设备在第一载波的TA值需要进行相应的调整。具体地,第一信息可以是第二网络设备下发给终端设备的,在第二载波的发送定时是终端设备已确定的,第一小区的下行链路定时是可以由终端设备通过检测第一小区的同步信号块(synchronization signal/PBCH block,SSB)信息或其他参考信号获得的。因此,终端设备可以根据第一信息、在第二载波的发送定时、第一小区的下行链路定时和第一小区的TA偏移值确定第一TA值,从而实现终端设备在第一小区的第一载波的上行同步。
如果终端设备切换到第一小区后,上行载波只有第一载波,那么确定终端设备在第一载波的TA值,也可以理解为确定终端设备在第一小区的TA值;如果终端设备切换到第一小区后,上行载波有第一载波,也有其他载波,在第一载波与其他载波的TA值相同的情况下,确定终端设备在第一载波的TA值,也可以理解为确定终端设备在第一小区的TA值。
第一载波和第二载波可以为上行载波。在一种可能的实现方式中,若载波为上行载波,那么终端设备在该载波的发送定时,可以理解为,终端设备在该载波的上行定时。例如,终端设备在第二载波的发送定时,可以理解为,终端设备在第二载波的上行定时。第一TA值为终端设备在第一载波的TA值。这样,无需随机接入,就可以确定在第一载波的TA值,从而实现终端设备在第一小区的第一载波的上行同步。
具体地,第一TA值可以满足如下公式:
其中,N
TA为第一TA值,T为第一小区的下行链路定时,T
tt为终端设备在第二载波的发送定时,T
C=1/(Δf
max·N

f=4096,N
TA-offset为第一小区的TA偏移值。
在一种可能的实现方式中,N
TA-offset为第一载波和第一小区下行载波的TA偏移值。
第一TA值也可以满足如下公式:
其中,T
slot-offset为第一小区与第二小区之间的时隙偏移值。
第一TA值还可以满足如下公式:
其中,T
sfn-offset为第一小区与第二小区之间的系统帧号偏移值。
第一TA值还可以满足如下公式:
第一TA值还可以满足如下公式:
其中,T
Fb-offset为第一小区与第二小区之间的帧边界偏移值。
在一种可能的实现方式中,请参阅图5,图5是本申请实施例提供的另一种数据的上下行时序的关系示意图。如图5所示,终端设备在第一载波发送上行帧,可以在该上行帧对应的下行帧的起始位置之前T
TA=(N
TA+N
TA-offset)×T
C开始(该下行帧为该上行帧在第一小区对应的下行帧),也可以理解为终端设备在第一载波的发送定时与第一小区下行链路定时之间的差为(N
TA+N
TA-offset)×T
C。即,终端设备在第一载波的发送定时与终端设备在第一载波发送上行帧的起始位置相一致;终端设备在第一小区的下行链路定时与终端设备在第一载波所发送的上行帧对应的下行帧的起始位置相一致。所以,切换后,终端设备在第一载波的TA值可以由终端设备在第二载波的上行帧的发送起始时刻和该上行帧在第一小区对应的下行帧的起始时刻计算得到。
具体地,第一TA值的公式还可以为:
其中,S为终端设备在第二载波的上行帧的发送起始时刻,T
1可以为该上行帧在第一小区对应的下行帧的起始时刻。例如,若所述上行帧的帧号为i,则该上行帧在第一小区对应的下行帧的帧号可以为i,也可以为i+j,j可以由第二网络设备或者第一网络设备通知给终端设备。又例如,该上行帧在第一小区对应的下行帧可以是起始时刻与第一载波上行帧i的发送起始时刻之差最小的下行帧,也可以是起始时刻与第一载波上行帧i+j的发送起始时刻之差最小的下行帧,j可以由第二网络设备或者第一网络设备通知给终端设备,也可以由终端设备决定。
第一TA值还可以满足如下公式:
第一TA值还可以满足如下公式:
第一TA值还可以满足如下公式:
第一TA值还可以满足如下公式:
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第六指示信息,第六指示信息用于指示第一TA值。终端设备接收到第六指示信息后,可以在切换过程中跳过随机接入,终端设备可以依据第六指示信息中的TA值,确定切换到第一小区后,第一TA值是第六指示信息中的TA值,或者,终端设备可以依据第六指示信息中的TA值,确定切换到第一小区后,第一TA值是第二载波的TA值,或者,终端设备可以依据第六指示信息中的TA值,确定切换到第一小区后,第一TA值是根据第一信息、终端设备在第二载波的发送定时和第一小区的下行链路定时确定的。
409、第二网络设备向终端设备发送用于指示第二TA值与第一TA值是否相同的第三指示信息。
相应地,终端设备可以接收第二网络设备发送的用于指示第二TA值与第一TA值是否相同的第三指示信息。
第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送第三指示信息,第三指示信息可以用于指示第二TA值与第一TA值是否相同,第二TA值是终端设备在第四载波的TA值,第四载波为终端设备在第一小区的不同于第一载波的载波。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第三指示信息也可以用于指示第四载波与第一载波是否共站址。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第三指示信息还可以用于指示第二TA值。
410、终端设备确定第二TA值。
终端设备可以根据第三指示信息确定第二TA值,具体地:
在第三指示信息指示第二TA值与第一TA值相同的情况下,可以确定第二TA值为第一TA值。
在第三指示信息指示第四载波与第一载波共站址的情况下,可以确定第二TA值为第一TA值。
第二网络设备可以根据第二TA值与第一TA值是否相同的信息或者第四载波与第一载波是否共站址的信息,确定第二TA值之后,通过第三指示信息将第二TA值发送给终端设备。
在一个实施例中,第四载波可以为SUL载波,也可以为NUL载波。第一载波和第四载波,也可以适用于5G、6G的适配。应理解,本申请中所有载波的名称仅仅作为示例,在未来通信中,如6G中,还可以称为其它名称,本申请对此不作限定。这里做统一说明,后续不再赘述。
应理解,在本申请实施例中,第一信息、第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息、第四指示信息、第五指示信息和第六指示信息,这些信息的部分或全部可以携带于RRC消息或者PDCCH消息中,这些信息的部分或全部可以是由第二网络设备向终端设备同时下发的,也可以是有时间先后顺序下发的,本申请对此不作限定。
411、终端设备向第一网络设备发送第二信息。
相应地,第一网络设备可以接收终端设备发送的第二信息。
在一个实施例中,终端设备确定在第一小区的至少一个载波的TA值之后,可以根据对应的TA值在所述至少一个载波发送第二信息。具体地:
终端设备在第一小区与第一网络设备通信,第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输。终端设备确定第一TA值之后,可以根据第一TA值在第一载波发送第二信息。终端设备可以根据第一TA值在第一小区的第一载波向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在第二载波发送的上行传输的网络设备,第四网络设备再将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备,例如,第四网络设备可以通过回程将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备。如果第一网络设备就是第四网络设备,也就是说第二载波和第一小区共站址,也可以说第二载波和第一网络设备共站址的话,那么终端设备可以直接继续在第二载波向第一网络设备发送上行传输。其中,上行传输的信息可以是第二信息,第二信息用于向所述第一网络设备确认切换,确认切换可以是确认终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区。这样,终端设备无需随机接入,能够实现终端设备在第一小区的第一载波的上行同步,可以提高通信的效率。
终端设备可以保持第一TA值继续在第二载波向第四网络设备或第一小区发送上行传输,直到第一网络设备或第一小区向终端设备发送用于修改第一TA值的消息。
终端设备在第一小区与第一网络设备通信,第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输。终端设备确定第二TA值之后,可以根据第二TA值在第四载波发送第二信息。终端设备可以根据第二TA值在第四载波向第六网络设备发送上行传输,第六网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在第四载波发送的上行传输的网络设备,第六网络设备再将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备,如果第一网络设备就是第六网络设备,也就是说第四载波和第一小区共站址,也可以说第四载波和第一网络设备共站址的话,那么终端设备可以在第四载波向第一网络设备发送上行传输。其中,上行传输的信息可以是第二信息,第二信息用于向所述第一网络设备确认切换。这样,终端设备无需随机接入,能够实现终端设备在第一小区的第四载波的上行同步,可以提高通信的效率。
终端设备可以保持第二TA值在第四载波向第六网络设备或第一小区发送上行传输信息,直到第一网络设备或第一小区向终端设备发送用于修改第二TA值的消息。
又例如,终端设备可以根据第一TA值和第二TA值,在第一载波向第五网络设备或第一小区、在第四载波向第六网络设备或第一小区同时发送上行传输信息。
在一个实施例中,终端设备在切换后,如果第一载波和第四载波不在同一个站址,则第一载波和第四载波的传输路径不同,终端设备与第四网络设备和与第六网络设备的距离不同,第一TA值和第二TA值是独立的,因此,需要独立指示和/或调整第一TA值和第二TA值。终端设备可以通过第一网络设备或第一小区发送的两个信令分别调整第一TA值和第二TA值,也可以通过第一网络设备或第一小区发送的一个信令的不同字段分别调整第一TA值和第二TA值。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以通过向第四网络设备发送周期信号的方式,辅助第四网络设备调整第一TA值;终端设备可以通过向第六网络设备发送周期信号的方式,辅助第六网络设备调整第二TA值。
在一个实施例中,第二信息可以是RRC重配完成消息。终端设备通过发送RRC重配完成消息到第四网络设备或第六网络设备来同步到第一小区并完成切换过程。
相应地,第一网络设备接收到第二信息后,可以向终端设备发送重配完成响应,该响应消息还可以用于指示终端设备不再使用半静态上行资源。

601、第二网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置。
应理解,步骤601与步骤401对应,步骤601中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤401的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
602、终端设备根据测量配置确定第五小区的测量结果。
终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的测量配置之后,可以对第二小区进行测量,还可以根据RRC消息来判断是否需要执行对相邻小区的测量。
终端设备可以根据测量配置确定第五小区的测量结果。其中,第五小区包括测量配置对应的小区,可以包括第二小区,也可以包括第二小区的相邻小区。第五小区的测量结果可以包括第二小区的测量结果,也可以包括相邻小区的测量结果。测量结果可以包括RSRP、RSRQ和SINR。
603、第二网络设备向终端设备发送第三小区的信息。
相应地,终端设备可以接收第二网络设备发送的第三小区的信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备根据测量配置确定第五小区的测量结果之后,可以不用将第五小区的测量结果上报给第二网络设备,根据第五小区的测量结果决定是否需要切换,在需要切换的情况下,终端设备可以从第二网络设备获取第三小区的信息。第三小区可以是第五小区中的至少一个小区,第三小区的有效载波与第二小区的有效载波存在至少一个相同的载波。在一个实施例中,可以向第二网络设备发送用于获取第三小区的信息的获取请求消息,来获取第三小区的信息。其中,第三小区的信息可以参考步骤403中的描述,在此不再赘述。
第三小区的信息可以是第二网络设备通过系统消息发送给终端设备,也可以是通过专有信令发送给终端设备。该系统消息可以是按需(on demand)系统消息。如果第三小区的信息是通过按需系统消息的方式发送给终端设备的话,那么该系统消息就不会总处于广播状态,只是在终端设备需要获取第三小区的信息的时候,才会向第二网络设备发送获取请求消息,这样可以减少干扰。
应理解,在本申请实施例中,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第三小区的信息可以是在发送测量配置之前发送的,也可以是与测量配置同时发送的,还可以是在发送测量配置之后发送的,本申请对此不作限定。
如果第三小区的信息是第二网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置之前发送的,即可以理 解为终端设备可以不仅仅只是在切换时才获取第三小区的信息,终端设备也可以是因为其他的某些业务或者是需求,在接收测量配置之前获取到第三小区的信息。这样的话,终端设备在进行切换时就不用获取而直接使用第三小区的信息,可以减少终端设备的接收信令,还可以提高切换的效率。
如果第三小区的信息与测量配置是第二网络设备向终端设备同时发送的,可以减少终端设备的接收信令,还可以提高切换的效率。
如果第三小区信息是第二网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置之后发送的,可以理解为终端设备在进行切换时,需要用到第三小区的信息时,按需向第二网络设备获取,可以避免终端设备的资源存储空间的浪费。
在一个实施例中,该获取请求消息还可以用于获取时隙比,终端设备可以通过该获取请求消息提前得到第三小区的时隙比。终端设备可以在获取第三小区的信息时获取时隙比的,也可以是在终端设备确定在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波之前向第二网络设备获取时隙比的,本申请对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备根据测量配置确定第五小区的测量结果之后上报给第二网络设备,第二网络设备可以根据第五小区的测量结果决定移交终端设备,在需要移交的情况下,向终端设备发送切换指令和第三小区的信息。具体步骤可以参考步骤403中的描述,在此不再赘述。
在一个实施例中,第三小区的信息还可以包括第二网络设备指定的数值L1或L2,L1、L2为大于等于1的正整数,第三小区的信息可以有至少一个数值L1或至少一个L2。
数值L1可以表征第三小区中的前L1个小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波。例如,如表1所示,若载波1与第二载波共站址或者说载波1指代第二载波,小区1、小区2、…、小区5中有载波1,数值L1可以表征小区1、小区2、…、小区5中,前L1个小区有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波,如果数值L1=1,则可以表示小区1、小区2、…、小区5中第一个小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波,即小区1的有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波;如果数值L=2,则可以表示小区1、小区2、…、小区5中的前2个小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波,即小区1和小区2的有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波。因为表1中有n个载波,所以数值L1可以有至少一个。
数值L2也可以表征第三小区中某一小区的前L2个载波是与该小区共站址的载波,如果第二载波在前L2个载波中,那可以说明,该小区与第二载波共站址。例如,如表2所示,数值L2可以表征第三小区中每个小区的前L2个载波与该小区共站址,可以理解为,载波1、载波2、…、载波5中的前L2个载波与小区1共站址,如果前L2个载波中存在第二载波,则可以确定小区1与第二载波共站址;也可以理解为,载波1、载波6、…、载波10中的前L2个载波与小区2共站址,如果前L2个载波中存在第二载波,则可以确定小区2与第二载波共站址;…;依次类推。因为表2中有n个小区,所以数值L2可以有至少一个。
第一网络设备发送的第一小区的信息中也可以不指定数值L,可以依据协议中预定义的,默认第一个或前几个小区的有效载波中存在与第二载波共站址的载波,或者默认哪一个或几个小区与第二载波共站址。
在一个实施例中,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第三小区的信息时,还可以发送时隙比。终端设备可以提前得到第一小区的时隙比,则第二网络设备在通知终端设备进行切换的指令中就可以相应地减少比特(bit)数。第三小区的信息可以携带于RRC消息或PDCCH消息中通过第二网络设备发送给终端设备。
604、终端设备根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区。
终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的第三小区的信息之后,可以根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区,第四小区可以是候选小区,N为大于等于1的整数。其中,终端设备根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区,可以参考步骤403中第二网络设备根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定第一小区的描述,在此不再赘述。
605、终端设备向第二网络设备发送N个第四小区的指示信息。
相应地,第二网络设备可以接收终端设备发送的N个第四小区的指示信息。
终端设备根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区之后,可以依据自己的能力和/或业务需求,向第二网络设备上报N个第四小区的指示信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备向第二网络设备上报N个第四小区的指示信息时,还可以上报N个第四小区的测量结果。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备向第二网络设备上报N个第四小区的指示信息时,还可以上报第五小区的测量结果。
606、第二网络设备根据N个第四小区的指示信息确定第一小区。
第二网络设备接收终端设备发送的N个第四小区的指示信息之后,可以从N个第四小区中确定一个第一小区。
在一种可能的实现方式中,N可以为1,则第二网络设备接收终端设备发送的一个小区的信息,进而可以确定第一小区为这个小区。
在一种可能的实现方式中,N可以为大于1的整数,则第二网络设备接收终端设备发送的多个小区的信息,进而可以从多个小区中确定第一小区,具体地:
第二网络设备可以根据N个第四小区中的每个小区的总数值确定第一小区,可以将N个第四小区中总数值最高的小区作为第一小区。
由于第三小区的有效载波与第二小区的有效载波存在至少一个相同的载波,所以根据第三小区的测量结果和第三小区的信息确定N个第四小区,可以保证N个第四小区中每个小区的有效载波存在与第二小区的有效载波相同的载波,进而第二网络设备从N个第四小区中确定的一个第一小区,可以保证终端设备确定在所述第一小区中进行上行传输的载波为所述第一载波,使得终端设备在切换过程中无需随机接入,实现终端设备在第一小区的第一载波的上行同步,可以提高通信的效率。
607、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送用于请求终端设备接入第一网络设备的请求信息。
相应地,第一网络设备可以接收第二网络设备发送的用于请求终端设备接入第一网络设备的请求信息。
第二网络设备根据N个第四小区的指示信息确定第一小区之后,可以向第一网络设备 发送用于请求终端设备接入第一网络设备的请求信息。具体的描述可以参见步骤404的描述,在此不再赘述。

701、第二网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置。
应理解,步骤701与步骤401对应,步骤701中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤401的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
702、终端设备向第二网络设备发送第五小区的测量结果。
应理解,步骤702与步骤402对应,步骤702中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤402的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
703、第二网络设备根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定第一小区。

705、第二网络设备向终端设备发送用于指示第一小区的信息的第二指示信息。
应理解,步骤705与步骤405对应,步骤705中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤405的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
706、第二网络设备向终端设备发送第三信息。
相应地,终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的第三信息。
第三信息可以包括第一指示信息和第一小区的ID,第一指示信息可以用于指示终端设备继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输。终端设备可以根据第一小区的ID确定将要切换到的第一小区是哪个小区。还可以根据第一指示信息确定在第一小区继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在第二小区发送的上行传输的网络设备。
终端设备切换前,在第二小区与第二网络设备通信,第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输,终端设备可以向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在第二小区发送的上行传输的网络设备。第四网络设备再将上行传输的数据发送给第二网络设备,例如,第四网络设备可以通过回程将上行传输的数据发送给第二网络设备。如果第二网络设备就是第四网络设备,也就是说第四网络设备和第二网络设备共站址的话,那么终端设备可以直接向第二网络设备发送上行传输。终端设备切换后,在第一小区与第一网络设备通信,第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输,终端设备可以向第五网络设备发送上行传输,第五网络设备是指可以接收终端设备在第一小区发送的上行传输的网络设备。第五网络设备再将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备,例如,第五网络设备可以通过回程将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备。如果第一网络设备就是第五网络设备,也就是说第五网络设备和第一网络设备共站址的话,那么终端设备可以直接向第一网络设备发送上行传输。
继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输,可以理解为,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以向同一个网络设备,即第四网络设备,发送上行传输。具体地:终端设备切换后,在第一小区与第一网络设备通信,第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输,终端设备可以继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输,第四网络设备再将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备,例如,第四网络设备可以通过回程将上行传输的数据发送给第一网络设备。如果第一网络设备就是第四网络设备,那么终端设备可以直接向第一网络设备发送上行传输。这样,无需随机接入,就可以实现终端设备在第一小区发送上行传输。因此,本申请提供的方案,能够有效避免终端设备向第一小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生的时延和中断问题,可以提高通信的效率。
在一个实施例中,第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送第四指示信息,第四指示信息可以用于指示终端设备在切换过程中是否跳过随机接入,在第四指示信息指示终端设备在切换过程中跳过随机接入时,终端设备可以根据第一指示信息确定在第一小区继续向第四网 络设备发送上行传输。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二网络设备发送第三信息时,还可以包括继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输时的时间资源的信息,时间资源的信息可以包括被上行的时隙、子帧的位置和上下行时隙配比。这样,有利于终端设备提前获取配置信息。
707、第二网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息。
应理解,步骤707与步骤407对应,步骤707中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤407的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
708、终端设备确定第一TA值。
终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的第一信息之后,可以根据该第一信息、第一发送定时、第一小区的下行链路定时和第一小区的TA偏移值,确定第一TA值,第一TA值用于继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输。
应理解,步骤708与步骤408对应,步骤708中的相关确定第一TA值的描述可以参见上述步骤408的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
需要理解的是,步骤408中的T
tt为终端设备在第二载波的发送定时,在步骤708中T
tt为第一发送定时,第一发送定时可以是终端设备在第二小区发送上行传输的发送定时,第一发送定时也可以称作第一上行定时。
由于终端设备在第一小区可以继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输,即切换前直到切换后,终端设备在第二小区和第一小区,可以向同一个网络设备,即第四网络设备,发送上行传输,所以终端设备发送上行传输的发送定时应该保持不变。从第二小区切换到第一小区,在第一小区进行上行传输时,终端设备需要参考第一小区的下行链路定时,不再需要参考第二小区的下行链路定时,所以终端设备继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输所根据的TA值,即第一TA值,需要进行相应的调整。
具体地,第一信息可以是第二网络设备下发给终端设备的,第一发送定时是终端设备已确定的,第一小区的下行链路定时是可以由终端设备通过检测第一小区的SSB信息或其他参考信号获得的。因此,终端设备可以根据第一信息、第一发送定时、第一小区的下行链路定时和第一小区的TA偏移值确定第一TA值。这样,无需随机接入,就可以确定第一TA值,从而实现终端设备在第一小区的上行同步,可以提高通信的效率。
应理解,本申请实施例中,第一信息、第三信息、第二指示信息、第四指示信息、第六指示信息,这些信息的部分或全部可以携带于RRC消息或者PDCCH消息中,这些信息的部分或全部可以是由第二网络设备向终端设备同时下发的,也可以是有时间先后顺序下发的,本申请对此不作限定。
709、终端设备发送上行传输信息。
在第四网络设备是第一网络设备的情况下,终端设备可以向第一网络设备发送上行传输信息;或者在第四网络设备是第二网络设备的情况下,可以向第二网络设备发送上行传输信息。其中,上行传输信息可以包括第二信息,第二信息用于向第一网络设备确认切换,确认切换可以是指终端设备从第二小区切换到第一小区。
具体地,终端设备切换前直到切换后,在第二小区和第一小区,可以向同一个网络设备,即第四网络设备,发送上行传输。如果第四网络设备是第二网络设备,那么终端设备 可以直接向第二网络设备发送上行传输;如果第四网络设备是第一网络设备,那么终端设备可以直接向第一网络设备发送上行传输。
在一个实施例中,终端设备还可以根据第一TA值发送上行传输。这样,无需随机接入,就可以实现终端设备在第一小区的上行同步。因此,本申请提供的方案,能够有效避免终端设备向第一小区进行需要随机接入的切换过程中可能产生的时延和中断问题,可以提高通信的效率。
终端设备可以保持第一TA值继续向第四网络设备发送上行传输信息,直到第一网络设备或第一小区向终端设备发送用于修改第一TA值的消息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以通过向第四网络设备发送周期信号的方式,辅助第四网络设备调整第一TA值。
在一个实施例中,第二信息可以是RRC重配完成消息。终端设备通过发送RRC重配完成消息到第四网络设备来同步到第一小区并完成切换过程。
相应地,第一网络设备接收到第二信息后,可以向终端设备发送重配完成响应,该响应消息还可以用于指示终端设备不再使用半静态上行资源。
基于上述网络架构,请参阅图8,图8是本申请实施例提供的又一种通信方法的流程示意图。其中,本申请中由终端设备执行的功能也可以由终端设备中的模块(例如,芯片)来执行,本申请中由第一网络设备执行的功能也可以由第一网络设备中的模块(例如,芯片)来执行。如图8所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。

应理解,步骤812与步骤709对应,步骤811中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤709的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
基于上述网络架构,请参阅图9,图9是本申请实施例提供的又一种通信方法的流程示意图。其中,本申请中由终端设备执行的功能也可以由终端设备中的模块(例如,芯片)来执行,本申请中由第一网络设备执行的功能也可以由第一网络设备中的模块(例如,芯片)来执行,本申请中由第二网络设备执行的功能也可以由第二网络设备中的模块(例如,芯片)来执行。如图9所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
901、第二网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置。

902、终端设备向第二网络设备发送第五小区的测量结果。
应理解,步骤902与步骤402对应,步骤902中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤402的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
903、第二网络设备根据第三小区的信息和第五小区的测量结果确定第一小区。
第二网络设备接收终端设备发送的第五小区的测量结果之后,可以先判断第五小区中是否存在第三小区,第三小区可以是有效载波中与第二小区的有效载波存在至少一个相同的载波的小区,在第五小区中存在第三小区的情况下,可以根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定第一小区,第三小区的信息是第二网络设备已知的,由于第三小区是第五小区中的至少一个小区,所以第三小区的测量结果是可以从终端设备上报的第五小区的测量结果中得到的,所以第二网络设备可以根据第三小区的测量结果和第三小区的信息确定第一小区;在第五小区中不存在第三小区的情况下,可以根据第五小区的测量结果确定 第一小区。具体地:
在一种可能的实现方式中,在第五小区中存在第三小区的情况下,第二网络设备可以优先选择第三小区中的小区作为第一小区,具体的根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定第一小区可以参考步骤403的描述,在此不再赘述。
与只根据第三小区的测量结果和第三小区的信息确定第一小区相比,虽然第三小区中的每个小区的有效载波与第二小区的有效载波存在相同的载波可以被优先选为第一小区,但是如果每个小区的测量结果都不好,则从第三小区中确定的第一小区也不符合终端设备切换的条件。
所以,若第三小区中的每个小区的测量结果都比较差,则可以再选择第六小区,根据第六小区的测量结果重新确定第一小区,第六小区可以为第五小区中除第三小区之外的其他小区,第六小区可以包括有效载波与第二小区的有效载波无交集,但与除第二小区之外的其他小区的有效载波有交集的小区,也可以包括有效载波与第二小区和除第二小区之外的其他小区的有效载波均无交集的小区。
在一个实施例中,第二网络设备优先选择第六小区中有效载波与第二小区的有效载波无交集,但与除第二小区之外的其他小区的有效载波有交集的小区作为第一小区。例如,第六小区中的部分小区的有效载波中有SUL载波,且该SUL载波被第二小区之外的其他小区所共享,第六小区中的部分小区的有效载波中没有SUL载波,则第二网络设备可以优先选择有效载波中有SUL载波的小区。因为如果选择了有效载波中没有SUL载波的小区作为第一小区的话,终端设备在下一次切换时就无法利用SUL载波进行上行连续,如果选择了有效载波中有SUL载波的小区作为第一小区的话,终端设备在下一次切换时还可以继续使用SUL载波进行上行连续,避免切换中因为随机接入导致的时延和中断。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在第五小区中不存在第三小区的情况下,第二网络设备可以根据第五小区的测量结果确定第一小区。
在一个实施例中,可以将第五小区的测量结果数值化,可以根据第五小区中每个小区的测量结果数值确定第一小区。例如,第一小区可以是测量结果数值最高的小区。
在一个实施例中,如果第一小区是第三小区中的一个小区,则还可以执行上述步骤404-步骤411的方法或步骤704-步骤709的方法,从而在切换过程中,无需随机接入,可以实现终端设备在第一小区的上行同步,可以提高通信的效率。
基于上述网络架构,请参阅图10,图10是本申请实施例提供的又一种通信方法流程示意图。其中,本申请中由终端设备执行的功能也可以由终端设备中的模块(例如,芯片)来执行,本申请中由第一网络设备执行的功能也可以由第一网络设备中的模块(例如,芯片)来执行。如图10所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。

1004、终端设备根据第三小区的信息和第五小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区。
终端设备接收第二网络设备发送的第三小区的信息之后,可以先判断第五小区中是否存在第三小区,在第五小区中存在第三小区的情况下,可以根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区,第三小区的信息是第二网络设备下发给终端设备的,由于第三小区是第五小区中的至少一个小区,第三小区的测量结果是可以从第五小区的测量结果中得到的,所以终端设备可以根据第三小区的测量结果和第三小区的信息确定N个第四小区;在第五小区中不存在第三小区的情况下,可以根据第五小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区。具体地:
在一种可能的实现方式中,在第五小区中存在第三小区的情况下,终端设备可以优先选择第三小区中的小区作为N个第四小区,具体的根据第三小区的信息和第三小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区可以参考步骤604的描述,在此不再赘述。
与只根据第三小区的测量结果和第三小区的信息确定N个第四小区相比,虽然第三小区中的每个小区的有效载波与第二小区的有效载波存在相同的载波可以被优先选为N个第四小区,但是如果每个小区的测量结果都不好,则从N个第四小区中确定的第一小区也不符合终端设备切换的条件。
所以,若第三小区中的每个小区的测量结果都比较差,则可以再选择第六小区,根据第六小区的测量结果重新确定N个第四小区,第六小区可以为第五小区中除第三小区之外的其他小区,第六小区可以包括有效载波与第二小区的有效载波无交集,但与除第二小区之外的其他小区的有效载波有交集的小区,也可以包括有效载波与第二小区和除第二小区之外的其他小区的有效载波均无交集的小区。
在一个实施例中,终端设备优先选择第六小区中有效载波与第二小区的有效载波无交集,但与除第二小区之外的其他小区的有效载波有交集的小区作为N个第四小区。例如,第六小区中的部分小区的有效载波中有SUL载波,且该SUL载波被第二小区之外的其他小区所共享,第六小区中的部分小区的有效载波中没有SUL载波,则终端设备可以优先选择有效载波中有SUL载波的小区作为N个第四小区。因为第一小区是N个第四小区中的一个小区,如果选择了有效载波中没有SUL载波的小区作为N个第四小区的话,终端设备在下一次切换时就无法利用SUL载波进行上行连续,如果选择了有效载波中有SUL载波的小区作为N个第四小区的话,终端设备在下一次切换时还可以继续使用SUL载波进行上行连续,避免切换中因为随机接入导致的时延和中断。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在第五小区中不存在第三小区的情况下,终端设备可以根据第五小区的测量结果确定N个第四小区。
在一个实施例中,可以将第五小区的测量结果数值化,可以根据第五小区中每个小区的测量结果数值确定N个第四小区。例如,N个第四小区可以是测量结果数值大于一定阈值的小区。
1005、终端设备向第二网络设备发送N个第四小区的指示信息。
应理解,步骤1005与步骤605对应,步骤1005中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤605的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
1006、第二网络设备根据N个第四小区的指示信息确定第一小区。
应理解,步骤1006与步骤606对应,步骤1006中的相关描述可以参见上述步骤606的描述,此处为了避免重复,不再赘述。
在一个实施例中,如果第一小区是第三小区中的一个小区,则还可以执行上述步骤607-步骤614的方法或步骤704-步骤709的方法,从而在切换过程中,无需随机接入,可以实现终端设备在第一小区的上行同步,可以提高通信的效率。
结合图4和图6的通信方法,在一个实施例中,请参阅图11,图11是本申请实施例提供的一种切换的场景示意图。如图11所示,该场景包括站点1的小区和站点2的小区,站点可以理解为站址。其中,站点1的小区有NUL载波和NUL载波对应的DL载波;站点2的小区有NUL载波、NUL载波对应的DL载波和SUL载波。该SUL载波覆盖了站点1的部分或全部小区,即站点1的部分或全部小区和站点2的小区有该SUL载波。
终端设备从站点2的小区切换到站点1的小区。
站点1中有该SUL载波的小区可以是第一小区,站点2的小区可以是第二小区。第一小区可以执行步骤401-步骤403的方法或者步骤601-步骤606的方法得到。站点2的网络设备可以是上述方法实施例中所提及的第二网络设备,站点1的网络设备可以是上述方法实施例中所提及的第一网络设备。
终端设备从第二小区向第一小区进行切换,可以确定终端设备在第一小区的SUL载波为终端设备在第二小区的SUL载波,即切换前直到切换后,终端设备在第一小区和第二小区的SUL载波可以为同一频段的载波,且终端设备在第一小区和第二小区的SUL载波发送的上行传输由同一个网络设备接收。终端设备可以在该SUL载波向站点2的网络设备发送上行传输。具体地:
终端设备切换前,在第二小区的SUL载波与第二小区是共站址的。终端设备在第二小区的SUL载波向站点2的网络设备或者第二小区发送信息时,可以向站点2的网络设备或者第二小区发送包括该信息的上行传输,站点2的网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输。
终端设备切换后,在第一小区的SUL载波和第一小区是异站址的。第一小区的SUL载波与第一小区是异站址的这个信息可以由站点2的网络设备通过RRC消息或者PDCCH消息或者系统消息通知给终端设备。例如,系统消息可以是按需系统消息。由于终端设备确定在第一小区的SUL载波为终端设备在第二小区的SUL载波,终端设备在第一小区的SUL载波向站点1的网络设备或者第一小区发送信息时,可以先在第一小区的SUL载波向站点2的网络设备发送包括该信息的上行传输,然后,站点2的网络设备再将该信息发送给站点1的网络设备或第一小区,例如,站点2的网络设备可以通过回程将该信息发送给站点1的网络设备或第一小区,站点1的网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行传输。

在一个实施例中,站点1的网络设备确定第二TA值需要调整时,第二TA值可以是终端设备在第一小区的NUL载波的TA值,站点1的网络设备可以给终端设备发送信令,通知终端设备调整第二TA值。终端设备可以通过向站点1的网络设备发送周期信号的方式,辅助站点1的网络设备调整第二TA值。
由于在第一小区的SUL载波和第一小区是异站址的,终端设备在第一小区的NUL载波和在第一小区的SUL载波不在同一个站址,这两个载波的传输路径不同,终端设备与站点1的网络设备和与站点2的网络设备的距离不同,第一TA值和第二TA值是独立的。因此,需要独立指示和/或调整第一TA值和第二TA值。终端设备可以通过站点1的网络设备或第一小区发送的两个信令分别调整第一TA值和第二TA值,也可以通过站点1的网络设备或第一小区发送的一个信令的不同字段分别调整第一TA值和第二TA值。
结合图7和图8的通信方法,在一个实施例中,如图11所示,第一小区可以执行步骤701-步骤703的方法或者步骤801-步骤806的方法得到。终端设备从第二小区向第一小区进行切换,可以确定终端设备继续向站点2的网络设备发送上行传输,即切换前直到切换后,终端设备在第一小区和第二小区,可以向同一个网络设备,即站点2的网络设备,发送上行传输。具体地:

在一个实施中,站点2的网络设备确定第一TA值需要调整时,第一TA值用于继续向站点2的网络设备发送上行传输,可以通过回程将第一TA值的调整量发送给站点1的网络设备,站点1的网络设备给终端设备发送信令通知终端设备调整第一TA值。终端设备可以通过向站点2的网络设备发送周期信号的方式,辅助站点2的网络设备调整第一TA值。

由于在第一小区的SUL载波和第一小区是共站址的,终端设备在第一小区的NUL载波和在第一小区的SUL载波在同一个站址,这两个载波的传输路径相同,第一TA值和第二TA值可以相同。因此,不需要独立指示和/或调整第一TA值和第二TA值。终端设备可以通过站点2的网络设备或者第一小区发送的一个信令调整第一TA值和第二TA值。
