具体实施方式
为了更好地理解本申请实施例,下面先对本申请实施例要解决的技术问题进行描述。在5G新无线(new radio,NR)中,除了支持高传输速率的增强型移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband,eMBB)业务之外,还支持高可靠低时延通信(ultra-reliable and low-latency communications,URLLC)业务。URLLC业务对于传输时延与可靠性的要求极高。例如,URLLC业务需要在1ms时延内保证传输可靠性大于99.9999%。URLLC业务可以应用于工业 自动化,包括动作控制、控制器间通信、无线替换工业有线网以及加工自动化的闭环控制等。在工业自动化中,URLLC业务需要保证10年99.9999%的可靠性。
在NR中,为了保证URLLC业务的高可靠性,多种空口技术被引入,如混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)-确认(acknowledge,ACK)增强、多次盲重传、多TCI盲重传等技术。现有的保障URLLC业务高可靠性的空口技术主要是针对无线链路不稳定的问题,无法解决由于软硬件故障导致的空口可靠性问题。在实际工业部署中,设备的软硬件故障导致的传输失败的概率是无法忽略的。例如,收发点(transmissionreceptionpoint,TRP)设备、基带设备等的可靠性均要求10年的传输失败率小于99.9999%。此外,不同于无线链路不稳定导致的传输失败,设备的软硬件故障导致的传输失败具有连续性的特征,即会导致URLLC业务的中断,以致无法保证工业自动化所需要的10年99.9999%的可靠性。
设备的软硬件故障是一个一直存在的问题。目前,可以采用设备轮询与自检的方式进行故障发现与恢复。然而,故障发现与恢复的时延较长,并且设备在从故障中恢复前无法提供服务。对于eMBB业务,暂时的业务中断不会导致严重的后果,而对于面向工业自动化的URLLC业务,业务中断会导致巨大的经济损失。因此,如何保证URLLC业务传输可靠性已成为一个亟待解决的技术问题。
为了更好地理解本申请实施例公开的一种通信方法、装置及计算机可读存储介质,下面先对本申请实施例使用的网络架构进行描述。请参阅图1,图1是本申请实施例公开的一种网络架构示意图。如图1所示,该网络架构可以包括至少一个核心网设备(如图1中的110和111)、至少一个接入网设备(如图1中的120、121和122)和至少一个终端(如图1中的130和131)。如图1所示,接入网设备可以包括至少一个收发设备,如图1中的接入网设备120可以包括收发设备1200和1201。
终端可以通过无线方式与接入网设备进行连接,即终端可以通过无线方式与接入网设备中的收发设备进行连接。接入网设备可以通过无线方式或有线方式与核心网设备进行连接。接入网设备与核心网设备可以是独立的物理设备。接入网设备与核心网设备也可以被集成在同一个物理设备上,可以理解为接入网设备的功能与核心网设备的功能被集成在同一个物理设备上,也可以理解为一个物理设备即具有接入网设备的功能也具有核心网设备的功能。接入网设备与核心网设备还可以部分功能集成在同一物理设备上,剩余部分功能设置在独立的物理设备上,可以理解为一个物理设备上集成了接入网设备和核心网设备的部分功能,接入网设备的剩余部分功能在另一个物理设备上,核心网设备的剩余部分功能在又一个物理设备上。终端的位置可以是固定不变的,也可以是移动的。

基于上述网络架构以及图2所示的应用场景,图3是本申请实施例公开的一种通信方法的流程示意图。其中,本申请中由终端执行的功能也可以由终端中的模块来执行,本申请中由接入网设备执行的功能也可以由接入网设备中的模块来执行,本申请中由核心网设备执行的功能也可以由核心网设备中的模块来执行。本申请中所描述的设备中的模块,具体可以是设备中的芯片。如图3所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
301、终端与接入网设备建立第一链路和N条备份链路。
终端可以与接入网设备建立N+1条链路,即可以与接入网设备建立第一链路和N条备份链路。这N+1条链路可以分别对应N+1个TCI,即一条链路对应一个TCI。第一链路为终端的服务链路,可以理解为第一链路为终端的当前通信链路,也可以理解为第一链路为终端与接入网设备当前进行通信的链路。
终端可以先与接入网设备建立通信连接。此时,终端与接入网设备之间只存在一条链路,即第一链路。终端与接入网设备建立通信连接的方式与现有NR建立通信连接的方式相同,在此不加赘述。
接入网设备与终端建立通信连接之后,可以通过第一链路向终端发送配置信息。可选的,接入网设备在满足第一条件时向终端发送配置信息。在一种情况下,第一条件可以为接收到来自核心网设备的用于建立备份链路的指示信息。在另一种情况下,接入网设备可以设置有用于建立备份链路的功能,第一条件可以为检测到用于启动该功能的启动指令、消息、信令等触发信息。该触发信息可以是核心网设备发送的,也可以是用户输入的,还可以是接入网设备生成的,在此不加限定。
配置信息可以包括每条链路对应的TCI,还可以包括每条链路对应的信号的信息。每条 链路对应的TCI用于标识对应的链路,也可以理解为TCI为对应的链路的标识。每条链路对应的信号用于测量该链路是否有效。当之前已经为第一链路配置了TCI时,每条链路对应的TCI可以只包括N条备份链路对应的TCI。当之前没有为第一链路配置TCI时,每条链路对应的TCI可以包括第一链路对应的TCI以及N条备份链路对应的TCI,即链路与TCI一一对应。备份链路的数量N可以是高层配置的,也可以是接入网设备根据终端的信道状况确定的。其中,一个TCI可以对应一个收发设备,也可以对应多个收发设备。当一个TCI对应多个收发设备时,接入网设备可以基于不同的预编码使用这多个收发设备进行通信。
终端接收到来自接入网设备的配置信息之后,可以根据配置信息建立与接入网设备之间的N条备份链路。N为大于或等于1的整数。终端可以根据配置信息确定N条备份链路中每条备份链路对应的TCI和信号。
终端可以基于这N+1条链路对应的N+1个信号进行时频同步、信道测量、TA等过程,使其可以随时使用任意一个TCI发送物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)/物理上行共享信道(physical uplink share channel,PUSCH)或接收物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)/物理下行共享信道(physical downlink share channel,PDSCH),即终端可以通过每条链路与接入网设备建立空口链路。使用TCI接收PDCCH/PDSCH是指使用基于该TCI对应的信号获得时频同步、下行信道状态信息等,从而进行下行接收。下行信道状态信息可以包括信号质量、多普勒,波束方向、波束标识等信息。使用TCI发送对应的PUCCH/PUSCH是指使用基于该TCI对应的信号获得时频同步、该TCI对应的下行信道所对应的上行信道信息等进行上行发送。上行信道信息可以包括多普勒、波束方向、波束标识等信息。信号质量可以为参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)、参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indication,RSSI)等可以标识信号质量好坏的任何信息。
需要说明的是,PUCCH、PUSCH、PDCCH和PDSCH仅仅是物理层的上行控制信道、上行数据信道、下行控制信道和下行数据信道的举例,在不同的系统中,这些信道可能会有不同的名称,本申请对此不做限定。
302、终端确定第一链路是否失效,当第一链路失效时,执行步骤303。
终端与接入网设备建立第一链路和N条备份链路之后,可以理解为接入网设备接收到来自终端的返回N条备份链路建立完成的确认消息之后,接入网设备可以通过第一链路向终端周期性地发送第一信号。第一信号关联第一链路的标识,可以理解为第一信号对应第一链路的标识,也可以理解为第一信号对应第一链路对应的TCI。
相应地,终端可以通过第一链路周期性地接收来自接入网设备的第一信号,以及确定第一链路是否失效。
在一种实现方式中,第一信号可以为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),也可以为解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)。第一信号可以关联第一链路的标识。终端可以根据第一信号的信号质量判断第一链路是否失效。当判断出第一信号的信号质量大于或等于第一阈值时,终端可以确定第一链路有效,可以继续通过第一链路与接入网设备进行通信,即终端可以使用与第一链路对应的TCI发送 PUCCH/PUSCH或接收来自接入网设备的PDCCH/PDSCH。当判断出第一信号的信号质量小于或等于第一阈值时,终端可以确定第一链路失效,之后可以执行步骤303。
上述第一信号的信号质量可以为最近一次接收的第一信号的信号质量,也可以为根据最近多次接收的第一信号的信号质量确定的信号质量。例如,可以将最近多次接收到的第一信号的信号质量的平均值确定为上述第一信号的信号质量,也可以将最近多次接收到的第一信号的信号质量经过层(layer)3滤波后的值确定为上述第一信号的信号质量。最近多次接收到的第一信号的数量可以是固定的,也可以是变动的。例如,可以将最近一段时间内接收的第一信号确定为最近多次接收到的第一信号。第一信号可以关联第一链路的标识,可以理解为第一信号通过第一链路传输。
在另一种实现方式中,第一信号可以为下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),也可以为物理层数据。终端可以在第一信号的发送周期内接收第一信号,当终端接收第一信号失败时,可以确定第一链路失效,之后可以执行步骤303。终端接收第一信号失败,可以理解为没有接收到第一信号,也可以理解为接收到了第一信号,但译码失败。当终端接收第一信号成功时,可以确定第一链路有效,可以继续使用第一链路与接入网设备进行通信。终端接收第一信号成功,可以理解为接收到了第一信号,且译码成功。
当第一信号为DCI时,第一信号可以承载在PDCCH上。当第一信号为物理层数据时,第一信号可以承载在PDSCH上。
303、终端通过第二链路向接入网设备发送指示信息。
当终端确定第一链路失效时,终端可以通过第二链路向接入网设备发送指示信息。指示信息可以指示服务链路更新为第三链路,第二链路和第三链路为N条备份链路中的备份链路。第二链路与第三链路可以为同一备份链路,也可以为不同的备份链路。
相应地,接入网设备可以通过第二链路接收来自终端的指示信息。
当终端确定第一链路失效时,若N为1,则终端可以直接将这条备份链路确定为第二链路和第三链路,即第二链路和第三链路为同一备份链路。若N大于1,则终端可以先从N条备份链路中选取第三链路。终端可以先判断N条备份链路中的每条链路是否为有效链路。在一种实现方式中,终端建立与接入网设备的第一链路和N条备份链路之后,接入网设备可以通过N条备份链路中的每条备份链路分别向终端周期性地发送对应的信号,以便终端可以根据每条备份链路对应的信号确定备份链路是否有效。上述方式中,由于接入网设备中的每条备份链路周期性地发送信号,因此,终端可以快速地确定备份链路是否有效,从而可以提高链路切换效率,进而可以保证业务传输的可靠性。在另一种实现方式中,当终端确定第一链路失效时,终端可以通过每条备份链路分别向接入网设备发送测量信号,当在预设时间内接收到针对测量信号的响应信号时,可以确定备份链路有效,当在预设时间内未接收到针对测量信号的响应信号时,可以确定备份链路失效。上述方法由于只有在需要的情况下才发送测量信号测量备份链路的有效性,因此,可以减少发送信息的数量,从而可以节约传输资源。
当终端判断出N条备份链路中只有一条备份链路有效时,可以直接将这条备份链路确定为第二链路和第三链路,即第二链路和第三链路为同一链路。当终端判断出N条备份链路中有多条备份链路有效时,可以从这多条备份链路中选取第三链路。终端可以将这多条 备份链路中信号质量最好的备份链路确定为第三链路,也可以从这多条备份链路中任选一条备份链路为第三链路,还可以将这多条备份链路中数据传输时延最小的备份链路确定为第三链路。终端还可以设置一条默认备份链路,当默认备份链路有效时,可以将默认备份链路确定为第三链路,可以缩短链路切换时间,从而可以提高业务传输的可控性。当默认备份链路无效时,终端可以从剩余的备份链路列表中选取,可以按照顺序选取,也可以随机选取,还可以按照信号质量选取,还可以按照数据传输时延选取,还可以按照其他方式选取,在此不加限定。其中,备份链路的信号质量和数据传输时延可以是确定备份链路是否有效的时候测量的,也可以是建立备份链路的时候测量的,还可以是其它时候测量的,在此不加限定。
终端从N条备份链路选取第二链路时,为了减少链路切换时延,以提高业务传输的可靠性,可以选取传输时延最小的备份链路为第二链路。传输时延最小的备份链路,可以理解为传输指示信息的时延最小的备份链路,也可以理解为传输指示信息所需时间最短的备份链路,还可以理解为能够最早将指示信息发送给接入网设备的备份链路。
在一种实现方式中,指示信息可以包括第三链路的标识,即第三链路对应的TCI。例如,指示信息中的一个比特或多个比特指示第三链路对应的TCI,或指示第三链路对应的TCI的索引。在另一种实现方式中,指示信息的资源位置可以关联第三链路的标识,可以理解为指示信息的资源位置对应第三链路的标识。例如,可以预先为不同备份链路分配不同的资源位置,当指示信息在第三链路对应的资源位置上传输时,可以确定指示信息关联第三链路的标识。其中,指示信息可以承载在PUCCH上,也可以承载在PRACH上。
304、接入网设备根据指示信息确定第三链路为终端的服务链路。
接入网设备通过第二链路接收到来自终端的指示信息之后,可以根据指示信息确定第三链路为终端的服务链路。之后接入网设备可以与终端通过第三链路进行通信。
在上行传输中,终端可以通过第一链路或第三链路向接入网设备发送第一信息。接入网设备接收到来自终端的第一信息之后,可以将第一信息转发给核心网设备,也可以将第一信息处理之后再发送给核心网设备。
在下行传输中,核心网设备可以向接入网设备发送第二信息。接入网设备接收到来自核心网设备的第二信息之后,可以将第二信息直接转发给终端,也可以将第二信息处理之后再发送给终端。
其中,步骤301-步骤304中相关的内容可以相互参考,并不局限于对应的步骤。
图4是本申请实施例公开的另一种应用场景的示意图。如图4所示,终端可以通过不同载波分量(component carrier,CC)与接入网设备建立多条链路,这多条链路中的一条链路为终端的服务链路,这多条链路中除服务链路之外的其它链路为终端的备份链路。不同链路使用的CC不同。
基于上述网络架构以及图4所示的应用场景,图5是本申请实施例公开的另一种通信方法的流程示意图。如图5所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
501、终端与接入网设备建立第一链路和N条备份链路。
502、终端确定第一链路是否失效,当第一链路失效时,执行步骤503。
503、终端通过第二链路向接入网设备发送指示信息。
504、接入网设备根据指示信息确定第三链路为终端的服务链路。
其中,步骤501~步骤504与步骤301~步骤304相似,详细描述可以参考步骤301~步骤304。
图5所示的方法与图3所示的方法的区别在于:图3中用于标识链路的信息为TCI,而图5中用于标识链路的信息为CC,具体可以为CC标识,即CC与链路一一对应。此外,一个CC可以对应一个频点。
图6是本申请实施例公开的又一种应用场景的示意图。如图6所示,终端可以与至少两个接入网设备(如图1中的接入网设备1和2)建立链路,每个接入网设备可以对应一条或多条链路,这些链路中的一条链路为终端的服务链路,这些链路中除服务链路之外的其它链路为终端的备份链路。
基于上述网络架构以及图6所示的应用场景,图7是本申请实施例公开的又一种通信方法的流程示意图。如图7所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
701、终端与K+1个接入网设备建立第一链路和N条备份链路。
终端可以与K+1个接入网设备建立N+1条链路,即可以与K+1个接入网设备建立第一链路和N条备份链路。第一链路为终端的服务链路,可以理解为第一链路为终端的当前通信链路,也可以理解为第一链路为终端与接入网设备当前进行通信的链路。K为小于或等于N正整数。一条链路对应一个接入网设备。一个接入网设备可以对应一条链路,也可以对应多条链路。
终端可以先与K+1个接入网设备中的第一接入网设备建立通信连接,此时,终端与第一接入网设备之间的链路为第一链路。第一接入网设备可以为K+1个接入网设备中的任一接入网设备。其中,相关描述可以参考步骤301中终端与接入网设备建立通信连接的相关描述。
第一接入网设备与终端建立通信连接之后,可以向终端发送配置信息。可选的,第一接入网设备在满足第一条件时向终端发送配置信息。有关第一条件的具体描述可以参考301中的相关描述。配置信息可以包括K+1个接入网设备中除第一接入网设备之外的K个接入网设备的标识,配置信息还可以包括每条链路对应的信号的信息。这K个接入网设备与第一接入网设备连接同一个核心网设备,且均可以与终端建立通信连接。上述K个接入网设备的标识以及每条链路对应的信号的信息可以是核心网设备发送给第一接入网设备的。其中,相关描述可以参考步骤301中当满足第一条件时,可以通过第一链路向终端发送配置信息的相关描述。当接入网设备与链路一一对应时,用于标识链路的信息可以为接入网设备的标识,也可以为小区标识。当一个接入网设备对应多条链路时,用于标识链路的信息可以为TCI、CC、接入网设备的标识和小区标识中的一种或多种。
当第一接入网设备对应一条链路时,终端接收到来自第一接入网设备的配置信息之后,可以根据配置信息分别与上述K个接入网设备建立备份链路,得到N条备份链路,即与上述K个接入网设备中的每个接入网设备分别建立一条或多条链路,得到N条备份链路。终端可以根据上述K个接入网设备的标识建立N条备份链路。终端可以根据配置信息确定N条备份链路中每条备份链路对应的信号,即将每条链路的标识与对应的信号绑定。其中,相关描 述可以参考步骤301中终端根据配置信息建立与接入网设备之间的N条备份链路的相关描述。
当第一接入网设备对应多条链路时,终端接收到来自第一接入网设备的配置信息之后,可以根据配置信息分别与上述K+1个接入网设备建立备份链路,得到N条备份链路。
第一链路和N条备份链路中不同备份链路使用的频点可以相同,也可以不同。
702、终端确定第一链路是否失效,当第一链路失效时,执行步骤703。
其中,步骤702与步骤302相似,详细描述可以参考步骤302。
步骤702与步骤302的区别在于:用于标识链路的信息为接入网设备的标识、小区标识、TCI和CC中的一种或多种;在另一种实现方式中,第一信号除了可以为DCI或物理层数据之外,还可以为高层数据。在本申请中,高层是指物理层以上的协议层,可以为媒体介入控制(media access control,MAC)层,也可以为无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层,还可以为分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层。高层数据可以为协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)数据,还可以为业务数据单元(service data unit,SDU)数据。
高层数据可以由物理层数据组合而成。终端接收到来自第一接入网设备的第一信号之后,物理层可以将第一信号发送给高层。高层接收到来自物理层的第一信号之后,可以先判断第一信号是否属于高层数据。当判断出第一信号属于高层数据时,终端可以使用第一信号组合高层数据。当使用第一信号组合成高层数据之后,可以判断高层数据是否接收成功,当判断出高层数据接收成功时,可以确定第一链路有效。当使用第一信号没有组合成高层数据,或判断出高层数据接收失败时,可以确定第一链路失效。在一种情况下,终端可以根据高层数据的校验码判断高层数据是否接收成功,当校验码验证失败时,可以确定高层数据接收失败。在另一种情况下,终端可以根据高层数据对应的格式判断高层数据是否接收成功,当高层数据对应的格式不是第一格式时,可以确定高层数据接收失败。校验码和第一格式可以是接入网设备预先配置的,也可以是默认配置的。使用第一信号没有组合成高层数据可以是没有接收到部分物理层数据导致的,也可以是物理层数据解码或解密失败导致的,在此不加限定。
703、终端向第二接入网设备发送指示信息。
当终端确定第一链路失效时,终端可以通过第二链路向第二接入网设备发送指示信息。指示信息指示服务链路更新为第三链路。其中,第二链路和第三链路可以为N条备份链路中的同一备份链路,即第二接入网设备与终端之间的链路;也可以为N条备份链路中的不同备份链路,第三链路可以对应第二接入网设备,第二链路可以对应第三接入网设备,第二链路和第三链路也可以都对应第二接入网设备。第二接入网设备和第三接入网设备为上述K个接入网设备中的设备。当第一接入网设备对应多条链路时,第一接入网设备与第二接入网设备可以为同一接入网设备。
当第二链路与第三链路为不同的备份链路,且对应不同的接入网设备时,终端通过第二链路向第二接入网设备发送指示信息,可以理解为终端先通过第二链路向第三接入网设备发送指示信息,第三接入网设备向核心网设备发送指示信息,核心网设备向第二接入网设备发送指示信息,第二接入网设备接收来自核心网设备的指示信息。其中,第二接入网 设备接收到的指示信息与终端发送的指示信息可以相同,也可以不同,即第二接入网设备接收到的指示信息,可以为终端发送的指示信息经过处理后的信息。
相应地,第二接入网设备可以通过第二链路接收来自终端的指示信息,即接收来自终端的指示信息。指示信息可以承载在PUCCH上进行传输,也可以承载在PRACH上进行传输。
其中,其它相关描述可以参考步骤303中的相关描述。
704、第二接入网设备根据指示信息确定第三链路为终端的服务链路。
第二接入网设备通过第二链路接收到来自终端的指示信息之后,如果第二链路和第三链路均为第二接入网设备与终端建立的链路,则第二接入网设备可以根据指示信息确定第三链路为终端的服务链路。可选的,第二接入网设备可以向终端发送确认消息,之后第二接入网设备可以与终端通过第三链路进行通信。如果第二链路为第三接入网设备与终端建立的链路,第三接入网设备与第二接入网设备为不同接入网设备,那么第三接入网设备可以将上述指示信息转发给第二接入网设备。第二接入网设备确定第三链路为终端的服务链路。可选的,第二接入网设备向终端发送确认信息,之后第二接入网设备可以与终端通过第三链路进行通信。这里的第二接入网设备可以称为新的服务接入网设备。
在上行传输中,当第一链路有效时,终端可以向第一接入网设备发送第三信息,当第一链路失效,且第三链路生效之后,终端可以向新的服务接入网设备发送第四信息。为了保证终端发送的所有信息都能够到达核心网设备,在第三链路生效之后,终端可以将在确定第一链路失效前一段时间内发送给第一接入网设备的信息,再次向新的服务接入网设备发送;也可以将确定第一链路失效前没有接收到第一接入网设备发送的确认(acknowledge,ACK)信息的信息再次发送给新的服务接入网设备。而第一接入网设备和新的服务接入网设备可以将终端发送的信息全部发送给核心网设备,这将导致核心网设备从第一接入网设备与新的服务接入网设备接收的部分信息可能是重复的。因此,第三信息对应第一标识,第四信息对应第二标识。第一标识和第二标识可以为信息的序号,也可以为信息的内容的标识,还可以为其它可以标识信息的信息。当第三信息和第四信息为同一信息时,这两个信息携带的标识相同。因此,核心网设备接收到第三信息和第四信息之后,当确定第三信息和第四信息都来源于同一终端时,可以根据第一标识和第二标识确定第三信息和第四信息是否为重复的信息,当判断出第三信息和第四信息为重复的信息时,可以丢弃第三信息或第四信息中的一个,也可以将第三信息和第四信息合并为一个信息,即将第三信息和第四信息放在一起进行译码。终端也可以将一个完整的信息划分为几部分,当第一标识与第二标识相同时,表明第三信息和第四信息为属于同一个信息中的信息,可以按照第三信息和第四信息在这个信息中的序号将第三信息和第四信息合并为一个完整的信息。
在下行传输中,由于核心网设备只知道当前与终端进行通信的接入网设备,而无法预知下一刻与终端进行通信的接入网设备。因此,核心网设备为了保证信息能够传输给终端,核心网设备可以分别向上述K+1个接入网设备分别发送第二信息。此外,第二信息可以携带有第一时间戳,以便上述K+1个接入网设备接收到第二信息之后,可以根据第一时间戳确定是否向终端发送第二信息。第一时间戳可以用于表示核心网设备向接入网设备发送第二信息的发送时间,也可以用于表示第二信息的失效时间。接入网设备可以根据第一时间戳和当前时间向终端发送第二信息。当第一时间戳用于表示发送时间时,接入网设备可以 先计算当前时间与第一时间戳之间的时间间隔,当前时间晚于第一时间戳。当时间间隔大于或等于第二阈值时,表明第二信息丧失了时效性,将第二信息发送给终端已经没有意义,可以不向终端发送第二信息。此外,可以丢弃第二信息,以便可以节约存储空间。当时间间隔小于或等于第二阈值时,表明第二信息还没有丧失时效性,可以将第二信息发送给终端,或将第二信息处理之后再发送给终端。当第一时间戳用于表示失效时间时,接入网设备可以比较第一时间戳和当前时间,当第一时间间早于当前时间时,表明第二信息丧失了时效性,将第二信息发送给终端已经没有意义,可以不向终端发送第二信息。当第一时间戳晚于当前时间时,表明第二信息还没有丧失时效性,可以将第二信息发送给终端,或将第二信息处理之后再发送给终端。
图8是本申请实施例公开的又一种应用场景的示意图。如图8所示,终端可以与至少两个无线系统(如图1中的无线系统1和2)建立链路。至少两个无线系统与同一中心设备建立通信连接。每个无线系统对应至少一条链路。这些链路中的一条链路为终端的服务链路,这些链路中除服务链路之外的其它链路为终端的备份链路。无线系统可以包括接入网设备和核心网设备。
基于上述网络架构以及图8所示的应用场景,图9是本申请实施例公开的又一种通信方法的流程示意图。本申请中由无线系统执行的功能也可以由无线系统中的接入网设备或核心网设备来执行。如图9所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
901、终端与K+1个无线系统建立第一链路和N条备份链路。
902、终端确定第一链路是否失效,当第一链路失效时,执行步骤903。
903、终端向第二无线系统发送指示信息。
904、第二无线系统根据指示信息确定第三链路为终端的服务链路。
其中,步骤901~步骤904与步骤701~步骤704相似,详细描述可以参考步骤701~步骤704。
图9所述的方法与图7所述的方法的区别在于:用于标识链路的信息可以为接入网设备的标识、核心网设备的标识、小区标识、核心网上下文的标识、TCI和CC中的一种或多种;图7中由接入网设备执行的步骤在图9中由无线系统来执行。核心网上下文的标识可以为核心网上下文的内容,也可以为其它可以用于标识核心网上下文的信息。
应理解,上述K+1个无线系统使用的无线技术可以相同,也可以不同。例如,上述K+1个无线系统使用的无线技术可以均为NR空口技术。再例如,上述K+1个无线系统中部分无线系统使用的无线技术可以为NR空口技术,部分无线系统使用的技术可以为WiFi空口技术。
当无线系统使用的无线技术为NR空口技术时,指示信息可以承载在PUCCH上进行传输,也可以承载在PRACH上进行传输。当无线系统使用的技术为WiFi空口技术时,指示信息可以为特定的数据包。
在上行传输中,当第一链路有效时,终端设备可以向第一无线系统发送第三信息,当第一链路失效,且第三链路生效之后,终端设备可以向第二无线系统发送第四信息。而第一无线系统和新的服务无线系统可以将终端发送的信息全部发送给中心设备。详细描述可以参考步骤704下面的上行传输。
在下行传输中,中心设备可以分别向上述K+1个无线系统分别发送第二信息,第二信 息可以携带有第一时间戳。其中,详细描述可以参考步骤704下面的下行传输。
图10是本申请实施例公开的又一种应用场景的示意图。如图10所示,接入网设备可以与至少两个终端(如图1中的终端1和2)建立链路,每个终端对应一条或多条链路,这些链路中存在一条链路为接入网设备的服务链路,这些链路中除服务链路之外的其它链路为接入网设备的备份链路。
基于上述网络架构以及图10所示的应用场景,图11是本申请实施例公开的又一种通信方法的流程示意图。本申请中由中心设备执行的功能也可以由中心设备中的模块来执行。如图11所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
1101、接入网设备与K+1个终端建立第一链路和N条备份链路。
接入网设备可以与K+1个终端建立N+1条链路,即可以与K+1个终端建立第一链路和N条备份链路。第一链路为接入网设备的服务链路,可以理解为第一链路为接入网设备的当前通信链路,也可以理解为第一链路为接入网设备与终端当前进行通信的链路。K为小于或等于N正整数。一条链路对应一个终端设备。一个终端设备可以对应一条链路,也可以对应多条链路。
K+1个终端可以分别与接入网设备建立通信连接,得到N+1条链路。中心设备可以从N+1条链路中确定第一链路和N条备份链路,之后可以向接入网设备发送这些信息,可以通过K+1个终端中的部分或全部终端发送。接入网络设备接收到来自终端的信息之后,可以根据该信息确定哪条链路为服务链路,哪些链路为备份链路。之后接入网设备可以确定每条链路对应的信号,以及向每条链路对应的终端发送信息。上述信息可以包括该每条链路对应的信号。上述信息还可以包括是否为服务链路的信息。终端接收到来自接入网设备的上述信息之后,当为服务链路时,可以与接入网设备进行通信,且可以周期性地向接入网设备发送对应的信号,以便接入网设备测量与该终端之间的链路的有效性。当为备份链路时,终端可以存储对应的信号,也可以周期性地向接入网设备发送对应的信号,以便接入网设备测量与该终端之间的链路的有效性。
1102、接入网设备确定第一链路是否失效,当第一链路失效时,执行步骤1103。
1103、接入网设备向第二终端发送指示信息。
1104、第二终端根据指示信息确定第三链路为接入网设备的服务链路。
其中,步骤1101~步骤1104与步骤701~步骤704相似,详细描述可以参考步骤701~步骤704。
图11所示的方法与图7所示的方法的区别在于:用于标识链路的信息可以为终端的标识和CC中的一种或多种;图7中由终端执行的步骤在图11中由接入网设备来执行,图7中由接入网设备执行的步骤在图11中由终端来执行;图7中由核心网设备执行的步骤在图11中由中心设备来执行;指示信息可以承载在PDCCH上进行传输,也可以承载在PDSCH上进行传输。在一种实现方式中,第一信号可以为探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)或PRACH,在另一种实现方式中,第一信号为PUCCH或PUSCH。指示信息可以为DCI。
基于上述网络架构,图12是本申请实施例公开的又一种通信方法的流程示意图。如图 12所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
1201、第一通信装置建立第一链路和N条备份链路。
其中,第一链路为第一通信装置的服务链路,N为正整数。
在一种实现方式中,第一通信装置可以与第二通信装置建立第一链路和N条备份链路。第一通信装置可以为终端,第二通信装置可以为接入网设备,详细描述可以参考步骤301和步骤501。
