在无线通信技术领域中,为了提升用户的吞吐率,引入了双连接(dual connectivity,DC)技术。DC可以支持两个或两个以上基站同时为一个终端提供数据传输服务。这些基站中包括一个主基站,以及一个或多个辅基站。其中,主基站可以与终端建立无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接,并可以与终端之间传输RRC消息,主基站还与核心网建立控制面连接。辅基站可以与终端之间传输部分RRC消息,该部分RRC消息包括用于测量小区的信号质量的测量配置信息、或测量报告等。
终端与主基站建立RRC连接后,可以进行条件主辅小区(primary secondary cell,PSCell)添加(conditional PSCell addition,CPA),与辅基站建立连接。终端与主基站和辅基站都建立连接后,还可以进行条件PSCell变更(conditional PSCell change,CPC),来变更与终端连接的PSCell。终端进行CPC的过程中,主基站会确定候选PSCell的变更条件,主基站还会接收来自候选辅基站的候选PSCell的配置信息,并确定向终端发送的候选PSCell的变更条件和候选PSCell的配置信息,处理过程复杂。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图对本申请实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。
本申请实施例提供的方法可用于各种多无线(或多空口)双连接(multiple radio dual connectivity,MR-DC)架构。例如,第四代(4th generation,4G)通信系统与第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统的双连接、5G通信系统与4G通信系统的双连接,或者5G通信系统与5G通信系统的双连接,以及未来演进的通信系统例如6G通信系统与其他系统的双连接,或者两个6G系统的双连接等。
其中,4G通信系统与5G通信系统的双连接可以包括:演进通用陆地无线接入(evolved universal terrestrial radio access,E-UTRA)系统和新无线(new radio,NR)系统的双连接(E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity,EN-DC),和5G核心网下的E-UTRA系统和NR系统的双连接(NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity,NGEN-DC)等。其中,EN-DC也可以称为选项3系列(option 3 series)。EN-DC是以长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)基站,例如eNB,作为主节点(master node,MN)或主基站,以NR基站,例如gNB,作为辅节点(secondary node,SN)或辅基站的DC。EN-DC中,MN和SN分别可以与演进分组核心(evolved packet core,EPC)网(即4G核心网)有数据面连接,为终端与EPC之间的数据提供空口传输资源。NGEN-DC也可以称为选项7系列(option 7 series)。NGEN-DC是以LTE基站,例如ng-eNB,作为MN,以NR基站,例如gNB,作为SN的DC。与EN-DC不同的是,NGEN-DC中,MN和SN都连接5G核心网(5G core network,5GC),为终端与5GC之间的数据提供空口传输资源。
5G通信系统与4G通信系统的双连接可以包括NR系统和E-UTRA系统的双连接(NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity,NE-DC)等。NE-DC也可以称为选项4系列(option 4 series)。NE-DC是以NR基站,例如gNB,作为MN,以LTE基站,例如ng-eNB,作为SN,并且MN和SN分别可以与5GC有数据面连接,为终端与5GC之间的数据提供空口传输资源。
5G通信系统与5G通信系统的双连接可以包括NR系统与NR系统的DC。NR系统与NR系统的DC中,MN和SN都为NR的基站。
下面仅以图1所示通信系统10为例,对本申请实施例提供的方法进行描述。
如图1所示,为本申请实施例提供的通信系统10的架构示意图。图1中,通信系 统10可以包括网络设备101、网络设备102、网络设备105、终端103和终端104。图1仅为示意图,并不构成对本申请提供的技术方案的适用场景的限定。
图1中的网络设备,例如:网络设备101、网络设备102或网络设备105可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备。包括但不限于:LTE中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB,evolutional Node B),NR中的基站(gNodeB或gNB)或收发点(transmission receiving point/transmission reception point,TRP),3GPP后续演进的等。基站可以是:宏基站,微基站,微微基站,小站,中继站,或,气球站等。多个基站可以支持上述提及的同一种技术的网络,也可以支持上述提及的不同技术的网络。基站可以包含一个或多个共站或非共站的TRP。网络设备还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器、集中单元(centralized unit,CU),和/或,分布单元(distributed unit,DU)。
图1中的终端,例如:终端103或终端104是一种具有无线收发功能的设备,可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持、穿戴或车载;也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等);还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的终端、车载终端设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的终端、辅助驾驶中的终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的终端等等。本申请的实施例对应用场景不做限定。终端有时也可以称为终端设备、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、车载终端、工业控制终端、UE单元、UE站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、UE终端设备、无线通信设备、机器终端、UE代理或UE装置等。终端可以是固定的,也可以是移动的。
作为示例而非限定,在本申请中,终端可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,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、智能首饰等。
图1中,终端103或终端104可以与网络设备101和网络设备102双连接,其中,一个网络设备为MN,另一个网络设备为SN。MN中的一个或多个服务小区组成主小区组(master cell group,MCG)。MCG包括主小区(primary cell,PCell),除了PCell,MCG还可选地包括一个或多个辅小区(secondary cell,SCell)。SN中的一个或多个服务小区组成辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG),SCG包括PSCell,除了PSCell,SCG还可选地包括一个或多个SCell。
在图1所示的通信系统10中,终端103或终端104可以进行CPAC。例如,终端 103可以通过下述示例1进行CPA,通过下述示例2进行CPC。
示例1,以终端103与网络设备101建立了RRC连接,网络设备需要为终端103配置CPA,与网络设备102建立连接为例进行介绍。网络设备101与终端103建立RRC连接后,可以为终端103配置一个或多个候选PSCell,并向该一个或多个候选PSCell所属的网络设备发送增加SN请求消息,其中,增加SN请求消息包括一个或多个候选PSCell的标识。该一个或多个候选PSCell所属的网络设备接收到增加SN请求信息后,筛选候选PSCell并向网络设备101发送消息1,其中,消息1包括筛选后的候选PSCell的标识以及筛选后的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,筛选后的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息用于指示筛选后的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置。网络设备101接收到消息1后,向终端103发送消息2,其中,消息2包括筛选后的候选PSCell的标识、筛选后的候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及筛选后的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。终端103接收到消息2后,根据筛选后的候选PSCell对应的测量标识确定筛选后的候选PSCell的添加条件,检测筛选后的PSCell的添加条件,并在检测到至少一个满足添加条件的候选PSCell的情况下,选择其中一个满足添加条件的候选PSCell(例如网络设备102为终端配置的候选PSCell),应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置。后续,终端103与该候选PSCell发起随机接入,并在候选PSCell随机接入成功之后,与网络设备101和网络设备102建立了双连接。
示例2,以终端103与网络设备101和网络设备102双连接,网络设备101为MN,网络设备102为终端对应的当前服务SN,网络设备101触发CPC为例进行介绍。网络设备101确定消息3,其中,消息3包括候选PSCell列表1中每个候选PSCell的标识和每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识。网络设备101向候选SN发送请求增加候选SN的消息。候选SN接收到请求增加候选SN的消息,向网络设备101发送消息4,其中,消息4包括候选PSCell列表2中每个候选PSCell的标识和每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,上述请求增加候选SN的消息不包括网络设备101确定的候选PSCell的标识,所以候选PSCell列表2和候选PSCell列表1可能相同也可能不同,候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息用于指示候选PSCell的无线资源配置。网络设备101接收到消息4后,根据消息3和消息4确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell,为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及无线资源配置信息,并向终端103发送消息5,其中,消息5包括为终端103配置的候选PSCell的标识,为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及无线资源配置信息。终端103接收到消息5后,根据为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的变更条件,检测为终端103配置的候选PSCell的变更条件,并在检测到至少一个满足变更条件的候选PSCell的情况下,选择其中一个满足变更条件的候选PSCell(例如网络设备105为终端配置的候选PSCell),应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置。后续,终端103与该候选PSCell发起随机接入,并在候选PSCell随机接入成功之后,与网络设备101和网络设备105建立了双连接。
其中,候选PSCell的添加条件用于终端确定是否添加该候选PSCell。例如,终端在检测到候选PSCell满足该候选PSCell的添加条件的情况下,终端确定应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置,并添加该候选PSCell。终端在检测到候选PSCell不满足该候 选PSCell的添加条件的情况下,终端确定不应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置,不添加该候选PSCell。
候选PSCell的变更条件用于终端确定是否将当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为该候选PSCell。例如,终端在检测到候选PSCell满足该候选PSCell的变更条件的情况下,终端确定应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置,并将当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为该候选PSCell,终端在检测到候选PSCell不满足该候选PSCell的变更条件的情况下,终端确定不应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置,并不将当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为该候选PSCell。
一种可能的实现方式,候选PSCell的添加条件或变更条件(以下简称候选PSCell的添加/变更条件)包括候选PSCell的添加/变更条件的执行事件类型。该执行事件类型也可以称为测量事件或者上报事件等。终端可以测量该候选PSCell的信号质量,或者测量该候选PSCell的信号质量和该候选PSCell的邻区的信号质量,或者测量该候选PSCell的信号质量和当前与终端连接的PSCell的信号质量,并根据测量结果和该执行事件类型确定是否添加该候选PSCell,或者确定是否将当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为该候选PSCell。
进一步的,该执行事件类型包括一个或多个事件或者多个不同配置的同一个事件,例如,该执行事件类型可以包括以下事件中的一种或多种:事件A3、事件A4、事件A5、事件B1、或事件B2。其中,事件A3表示邻区信号质量比特殊小区(special cell,SpCell)信号质量大于或等于一定的偏置(offset)。其中PCell和PSCell都统称为SpCell。事件A4表示邻区信号质量大于或等于一定门限。事件A5表示SpCell信号质量小于或等于门限1(threshold 1),并且邻区信号质量大于或等于门限2(threshold 2)。事件B1表示跨无线接入技术(inter radio access technology,inter RAT)的邻区信号质量大于或等于一定的门限。事件B2表示PCell信号质量小于或等于门限3(threshold 3),并且inter RAT的邻区信号质量大于或等于门限4(threshold 4)。上述事件仅是执行事件类型中事件的示例,执行事件类型还可以包括其他事件,不予限制。该执行事件类型还包括该执行事件类型中事件对应的门限值。该执行事件类型还包括满足该执行事件类型中事件的时间长度(timeToTrigger),和/或,进入/离开该执行事件类型中事件时的迟滞值(hysteresis)等。其中,该执行事件类型中的事件可以对应一个或多个门限值,例如,事件A5对应两个门限值。该执行事件类型中的同一个事件可以对应不同的测量量,例如,事件A3可以对应A3参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)和A3参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)。其中,多个配置的同一个事件可以是指同一个事件对应不同的测量量,或者同一个事件中同一个测量量具有不同配置。当该执行事件类型包括多个事件或者多个配置的同一个事件时,当这些多个事件或多个配置的同一个事件都同时满足时,终端才认为检测到候选PSCell满足该候选PSCell的添加条件或变更条件。
对于上述示例1,候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息用于终端添加该候选PSCell后,与该候选PSCell通信。对于上述示例2,候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息用于终端将当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为该候选PSCell后,与该候选PSCell通信。
一种可能的实现方式,候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息包括以下信息中的至少一 项:候选PSCell为终端分配的随机接入资源,小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNIT),候选PSCell的全球小区识别码(cell global identification,CGI),候选PSCell的物理小区标识(physical cell identifier,PCI),候选PSCell对应的频率信息。
其中,候选PSCell对应的频率信息可以包括以下一种或多种:同步信号块的绝对频率(如absoluteFrequencySSB)、参考资源模块(common RB0)的绝对频率位置(如absoluteFrequencyPointA)、频率带宽列表(如frequencyBandList)、子载波间隔(sub-carrier spacing,SCS)特定的载波列表(如scs-SpecificCarrierList)等。
进一步的,候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息还包括候选PSCell对应的资源信息。候选PSCell对应的资源信息包括以下一种或多种:承载配置参数(radioBearerConfig)、小区组配置(cellGroupConfig)参数、物理(physical,PHY)层配置参数、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层配置参数、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层配置参数、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层配置参数、服务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层配置参数或RRC层配置参数。候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息也可以称为候选PSCell的无线资源配置等,不予限制。进一步的,候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息还包括候选PSCell对应的SCG中其他SCell的配置信息(比如SCell对应的物理层配置参数)。进一步的,候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息可能是一个RRC重配消息,该RRC重配消息中包括了以上信息。
一种可能的实现方式,一个候选PSCell对应的测量标识与该候选PSCell的添加/变更条件对应。例如,对于示例1,一个候选PSCell对应的测量标识与该候选PSCell的添加条件对应。对于示例2,一个候选PSCell对应的测量标识与该候选PSCell的变更条件对应。
进一步的,测量标识可以关联到测量对象标识(measObjectID)和测量上报配置标识(ReportConfigId)。其中,测量对象标识用于标识测量对象配置,该测量对象配置包括要测量的频点,或者测量对象配置包括测量标识对应的候选PSCell的频点。测量对象配置还可以包括如何根据小区中各个波束的参考信号的信号质量的测量结果获得小区的信号质量的测量结果等其他信息。测量上报配置标识用于标识测量上报配置,测量上报配置包括测量标识对应的候选PSCell的添加/变更条件。
一种可能的实现方式,候选PSCell对应的测量标识和该候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息可以关联到该候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识(ConReconfigID),或者说一个条件重配置标识标识可以用来标识一个CPA配置或CPC配置,该CPA配置或CPC配置包括候选PSCell对应的测量标识和该候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。一个CPA配置或CPC配置也可以称为候选PSCell的条件PSCell添加/变更(conditional PSCell addition/change,CPAC)配置、候选PSCell的CPC配置、候选PSCell的CPA配置、候选PSCell的CPAC配置信息、候选PSCell的CPC配置信息或候选PSCell的CPA配置信息。可以理解的,不同候选PSCell对应的测量标识可以相同,也可以不同。不同候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识不同。因此,网络侧要修改候选PSCell的添加/变更条件,和/或,候选PSCell的无线资源配置信息,和/或取消候 选PSCell的配置(即终端无需进行该候选PSCell的添加/变更条件的判断)等信息的情况下,可以在向终端发送的消息中携带该候选PSCell的条件重配置标识,以便终端确定要修改的候选PSCell。
示例性的,候选PSCell 1、候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3对应的测量标识、条件重配置标识可以如下所示:候选PSCell 1对应的测量标识为measID 1,候选PSCell 1对应的条件重配置标识为ConReconfigID 1。候选PSCell 2对应的测量标识为measID 1,候选PSCell 1对应的条件重配置标识为ConReconfigID 2。候选PSCell 3对应的测量标识为measID 3,候选PSCell 1对应的条件重配置标识为ConReconfigID 3。
可选的,上述示例1中的消息2还包括条件重配置标识。上述示例2中的消息5中还包括条件重配置标识。
通过上述示例2可以看出,终端进行CPC的过程中,网络设备101会确定消息3,并向候选SN发送请求增加候选SN的消息。网络设备101还会接收来自候选SN的消息4。后续,网络设备101会根据消息3确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识,根据消息4确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,并向终端103发送消息5。也就是说,网络设备101需要通过候选PSCell的标识将候选PSCell对应的测量标识,以及候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息关联起来,得到消息5中需要配置的信息,再向终端发送消息5,网络设备101的处理过程复杂。而且网络设备101在确定了消息3之后,才会收到消息4,所以网络设备101在收到消息4之前需要保存消息3中的信息,这需要网络设备101额外的内存来保存。
另外,由于候选PSCell列表1中的候选PSCell是MN确定的,候选PSCell列表2中的候选PSCell是候选SN确定的,在候选PSCell列表1包括候选PSCell列表2中没有的候选PSCell的情况下,网络设备101有可能无法确定出为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。示例性的,以候选PSCell列表1包括候选PSCell 1和候选PSCell 2,候选PSCell列表2包括候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3为例,若网络设备101确定的为终端103配置的候选PSCell为候选PSCell 1,而候选PSCell列表2中不包括候选PSCell 1,因此,网络设备101无法根据消息4确定候选PSCell 1对应的无线资源配置信息。
为了简化网络设备101的处理过程,以及为了解决网络设备101有可能无法确定候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的问题,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法:MN向候选SN发送第一消息,第一消息包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,第一标识用于指示当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为第一标识对应的候选PSCell的条件。候选SN接收到第一消息后,向MN发送第二消息,第二消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,第一候选PSCell列表包括第二候选PSCell列表。MN接收到第二消息后,向终端发送第三消息,第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。
上述过程中,MN会向候选SN发送第一消息,候选SN接收到第一消息后,可以根据第一候选PSCell列表确定第二候选PSCell列表,并向MN发送第二消息。如此, MN接收到第二消息后不需要确定为终端配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及无线资源配置信息,而是将候选SN确定的第二消息中的部分或全部内容发送给终端。因此,可以简化MN的处理过程,降低MN的开销。另外,在上述过程中,MN是将候选SN确定的第二消息中的部分或全部内容发送给终端,MN不会出现无法确定候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的问题。该通信方法的具体介绍可以参考下述图3所示的方法。
上述示例2是MN触发CPC的情况,在具体应用中,源SN也可以触发CPC。具体的,可以参考下述示例3。
示例3,以终端103与网络设备101和网络设备102双连接,网络设备101为MN,网络设备102为终端对应的当前服务SN,网络设备102触发CPC为例进行介绍。网络设备102向网络设备101发送消息6,其中,消息6包括候选PSCell列表3中每个候选PSCell的标识和每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识。网络设备101接收到消息6后,向候选SN发送请求增加候选SN的消息。候选SN接收到请求增加候选SN的消息后,向网络设备101发送消息7,其中,消息7包括候选PSCell列表4中每个候选PSCell的标识和每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,候选PSCell列表4和候选PSCell列表3可能相同也可能不同,候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息用于指示候选PSCell的无线资源配置。网络设备101接收到消息7后,根据消息6和消息7确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell,为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及无线资源配置信息,并向终端103发送消息8,其中,消息8包括为终端103配置的候选PSCell的标识,为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及无线资源配置信息。终端103接收到消息8后,根据为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的变更条件,检测为终端103配置的候选PSCell的变更条件,并在检测到至少一个满足变更条件的候选PSCell的情况下,选择其中一个满足变更条件的候选PSCell(例如网络设备105为终端配置的候选PSCell),应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置。后续,终端103与该候选PSCell发起随机接入,并在候选PSCell随机接入成功之后,与网络设备101和网络设备105建立了双连接。
通过上述示例3可以看出,终端进行CPC的过程中,网络设备101会接收来自网络设备102的消息6,网络设备101还会接收来自候选SN的消息7。后续,网络设备101会根据消息6确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识,根据消息7确定为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,并向终端103发送消息8。也就是说,网络设备101需要通过候选PSCell的标识将候选PSCell对应的测量标识,以及候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息关联起来,得到消息8中需要配置的信息,再向终端发送消息8,网络设备101的处理过程复杂。而且网络设备101在接收到消息6之后,才会收到消息7,所以网络设备101在收到消息7之前需要保存消息6中的信息,这需要网络设备101额外的内存来保存。
另外,由于候选PSCell列表3中的候选PSCell是源SN确定的,候选PSCell列表4中的候选PSCell是候选SN确定的,在候选PSCell列表4包括候选PSCell列表3中没有的候选PSCell的情况下,网络设备101有可能无法确定出为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识。示例性的,以候选PSCell列表3包括候选PSCell 1和候 选PSCell 2,候选PSCell列表4包括候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3为例,因此,网络设备101无法根据消息7确定候选PSCell 3对应的测量标识。类似的,在候选PSCell列表3包括候选PSCell列表4中没有的候选PSCell的情况下,网络设备101有可能无法确定出为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。
为了简化网络设备101的处理过程,以及为了解决网络设备101有可能无法确定出为终端103配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识或候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的问题,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法:源SN向MN发送第四消息,第四消息包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,第一标识用于指示当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为第一标识对应的候选PSCell的条件。MN接收到第四消息后,向候选SN发送第一消息,第一消息包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识。可选的,第一消息中还包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识。候选SN接收到第一消息后,向MN发送第二消息,第二消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。可选的,第二消息中还包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识。第一候选PSCell列表包括第二候选PSCell列表。MN接收到第二消息后,向终端发送第三消息,第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。
上述过程中,源SN会向MN发送第四消息,MN接收到第四消息会向候选SN发送第一消息,候选SN接收到第一消息后,可以根据第一候选PSCell列表确定第二候选PSCell列表,并向MN发送第二消息。由于MN是把源SN发送的第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识发送给候选SN,候选SN是根据第一候选列表中每个候选PSCell的标识来确定第二候选列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,并配置每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。从而MN可以从源SN发送的第一消息中找到第二候选列表中的每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识,MN不会出现无法确定候选PSCell对应的测量标识或候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的问题。进一步地,当第一消息和第二消息包括第一标识时,MN接收到第二消息后不需要确定为终端配置的候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及无线资源配置信息,而是将候选SN确定的第二消息中的部分或全部内容发送给终端。因此,可以简化MN的处理过程,降低MN的开销。该通信方法的具体介绍可以参考下述图4所示的方法。

在本申请实施例中,通信方法的执行主体的具体结构,本申请实施例并未特别限定,只要能够实现本申请实施例的提供的方法即可。例如,本申请实施例提供的通信方法的执行主体可以是MN,或者为应用于MN中的部件,例如,芯片,本申请对此不进行限定。或者,本申请实施例提供的通信方法的执行主体可以是候选SN,或者为应用于候选SN中的部件,例如,芯片,本申请对此不进行限定。或者,本申请实施例提供的通信方法的执行主体可以是源SN,或者为应用于源SN中的部件,例如,芯片,本申请对此不进行限定。或者,本申请实施例提供的通信方法的执行主体可以是终端,或者为应用于终端中的部件,例如,芯片,本申请对此不进行限定。下述实施例以通信方法的执行主体分别为MN、候选SN、源SN、终端为例进行描述。

步骤301:MN向候选SN发送第一消息。
其中,MN可以称为主节点、主基站等。MN可以为图1中的网络设备101或网络设备102。候选SN可以称为候选辅节点、候选辅基站等。候选SN可以为图1中的网络设备105。候选SN为MN为终端配置的。终端可以为图1中的终端103或终端104。
可以理解的,本申请不限制候选SN的数量。当候选SN为多个时,MN向每个候选SN发送第一消息。
其中,第一消息可以有以下两种情况:
情况1:第一消息可以包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识。
其中,第一候选PSCell列表包括MN为终端配置(或推荐)的至少一个候选PSCell。该至少一个候选PSCell为一个候选SN的小区。至少一个候选PSCell为MN检测到的信号质量较好的PSCell,或者为MN根据预设置的算法选择的PSCell。本申请实施例中,任一候选PSCell列表还可以称为候选PSCell集合,用于表示一个或多个候选PSCell。例如,第一候选PSCell列表包括候选PSCell 1、候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3。
第一标识为MN确定(或生成)的。第一标识用于指示第一标识对应的候选PSCell的变更条件,也就是说,第一标识用于指示当前与终端连接的PSCell变更为第一标识对应的候选PSCell的条件。
进一步的,第一标识包括测量标识,和/或,条件重配置标识。测量标识和条件重配置标识的介绍可以参考图1中对应的描述,不予赘述。

一种可能的实现方式,MN除了确定测量标识和/或条件重配置标识之外,还要确定测量标识关联的测量对象标识和测量上报配置标识。也就是说,MN还可以确定候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置和测量上报配置。测量对象配置和测量上报配置的介绍可以参考上述图1中对应的描述,不予赘述。
进一步的,MN可以在步骤303之前,向终端发送第七消息。第七消息用于指示测量标识,与该测量标识关联的测量对象标识和测量上报配置标识以便终端接收到第七消息后,根据第七消息确定该测量标识对应的测量对象配置以及测量上报配置。
一种可能的实现方式,第一消息还包括第二指示信息,以便候选SN确定MN触发了条件PSCell变更。第二指示信息用于指示条件PSCell变更是由MN触发的。
一种可能的实现方式,MN向源SN发送第二指示信息,以便源SN确定MN触发了条件PSCell变更。源SN接收到第二指示信息后,可以向MN发送确认信息,该确认信息用于指示接受MN触发的条件PSCell变更。
一种可能是实现方式,上述第一消息为RRC消息。第一消息还可以称为SN增加请求(SN add request)消息。
对应的,候选SN接收来自MN的第一消息。
步骤302:候选SN根据第一消息向MN发送第二消息。
其中,第二消息还可以称为SN增加响应消息。
对于上述情况1,第二消息可以包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。其中,候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的介绍可以参考上述图1中对应的描述,不予赘述。
对于上述情况2,第二消息可以包括第一信息。第一信息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。可选的,第一信息还可以包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件配置标识。可以理解的,若在上述情况2中,第一消息不包括 第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,第二消息包括的第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识为候选SN确定(或生成)的。
一种可能的实现方式,第一候选PSCell列表包括第二候选PSCell列表。也就是说,候选SN是将第一候选PSCell列表中的全部或部分候选PSCell确定为第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell。
示例性的,以第一候选PSCell列表包括候选PSCell 1、候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3为例,第二候选PSCell列表可以包括候选PSCell 1、候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3。或者,第二候选PSCell列表可以包括候选PSCell 1和候选PSCell 2。或者,第二候选PSCell列表可以包括候选PSCell 1和候选PSCell 3。或者,第二候选PSCell列表可以包括候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3。或者,第二候选PSCell列表可以包括候选PSCell 1。或者,第二候选PSCell列表可以包括候选PSCell 2。或者,第二候选PSCell列表可以包括候选PSCell 3。
可以理解的,候选SN可以将第一候选PSCell列表中信号质量好的候选PSCell确定为第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell。或者,候选SN可以随机将第一候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell确定为第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell。
示例性的,以第一消息包括的内容如表1所示,第二候选PSCell列表包括候选PSCell 2和候选PSCell 3为例,第二消息包括的内容可以如表3所示。表3所示的第二消息包括候选PSCell 2,候选PSCell 2对应的测量标识2,候选PSCell 2对应的条件重配置标识2,候选PSCell 3,候选PSCell 3对应的测量标识3,以及候选PSCell 3对应的条件重配置标识3。
表3
Figure PCTCN2020123017-appb-000002
可以理解的,表3仅是第二消息的示例,在实际应用中,第二消息还可以有其他的形式,例如,第二消息还可以通过集合的形式表示。第二消息也可以包括比表3更多或更少的行,比表3更多或更少的列,不予限制。以第二消息包括比表3更少的行为例,第二消息可以包括表3中的第一行,即第二消息包括候选PSCell 2,候选PSCell 2对应的测量标识2,候选PSCell 2对应的条件重配置标识2。
可以理解的,在第一候选PSCell列表包括一个候选PSCell,候选SN确定选择该候选PSCell的情况下,第二消息包括该候选PSCell的标识,该候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及该候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。在第一候选PSCell列表包括一个候选PSCell,候选SN确定不选择该候选PSCell的情况下,候选SN不发送第二消息,或者候选SN发送第二消息,该第二消息用于指示候选SN确定不选择该候选PSCell。
可以理解的,在第一候选PSCell列表包括一个候选PSCell,候选SN确定不选择该候选PSCell的情况下,候选SN可以在接收到多个第一消息后,向MN发送一个第二消息,该第二消息用于指示候选SN确定不选择上述多个第一消息中指示的候选 PSCell。
一种可能的实现方式,第一信息为RRC重配置(RRCReconfiguration)消息。
对应的,MN接收来自候选SN的第二消息。
步骤303:MN向终端发送第三消息。
对于上述情况1:第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。在这种情况下,MN接收到第二消息后,获取第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,并向终端发送第三消息。
对于上述情况2:若第一信息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,第三消息包括第一信息。在这种情况下,MN可以不感知第一信息,也就是说,MN不解析第一信息。MN接收到第二消息后,直接将第二消息中的第一信息包括在第三消息中发送给终端。如此,MN使用常规技术就可以向终端发送第三消息,而不需要增加新的信元来指示第一信息。例如,第一信息是候选SN生成的RRC重配消息,MN生成一个RRC重配消息,该MN生成的RRC重配消息中包含了候选SN生成的RRC重配消息。若第一信息不包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识,每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。其中,第三消息中包括的第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识为MN确定(或生成)的。
可以理解的,第三消息中的候选PSCell的标识可以包括在候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息中。
一种可能的实现方式,第三消息还包括第二指示信息。可以理解的,MN可能触发CPC,源SN也可能触发CPC。在MN触发的CPC中,测量标识/条件重配置标识可以是MN确定(或生成)的,在源SN触发的CPC中,测量标识/条件重配置标识可以是源SN确定(或生成)的,MN确定的测量标识/条件重配置标识对应的测量对象配置和测量上报配置,与源SN确定的测量标识/条件重配置标识对应的测量对象配置和测量上报配置可能不同。若第三消息不包括第二指示信息,终端接收到第三消息后,并不知道第三消息中的测量标识为MN确定的,还是源SN确定的,终端也就无法根据测量标识/条件重配置标识确定测量对象配置和测量上报配置。
可以理解的,MN向终端发送第二指示信息的方法除了应用于本申请的方法中之外,也可以应用于常规技术中,以便终端根据第二指示信息确定MN发送给终端的测量标识是MN确定的,还是源SN确定的。例如,上述示例2中的消息5中也可以包括该第二指示信息。可选的,上述示例2中的消息3和/或消息4也可以包括该第二指示信息。
进一步的,第二指示信息可以通过一个信元来指示。示例性的,第二指示信息可以通过信元的名称或信元的取值来指示。比如,以信元1用于指示条件PSCell变更是由MN触发的,信元2用于指示条件PSCell变更是由源SN触发的为例,若第三消息包括信元1,则表示条件PSCell变更是由MN触发的,若第三消息包括信元2,则表 示条件PSCell变更是由源SN触发的。又比如,以第三消息包括信元3,信元3的取值用于指示条件PSCell的变更是由MN触发的还是源SN触发的为例,若信元3的取值为0,则表示条件PSCell变更是由MN触发的,若信元3的取值为1,则表示条件PSCell变更是由源SN触发的,反之亦然。又比如,在第三消息包括信元4的情况下,表示条件PSCell变更是由MN触发的,在第三消息不包括信元4的情况下,表示条件PSCell变更是由源SN触发的。第二指示信息除了通过信元的名称或信元的取值来指示之外,还可以是通过choice结构来指示。choice结构的介绍可以参考常规技术中的解释说明,不予赘述。
一种可能的实现方式,第三消息为RRC消息。
对应的,终端接收来自MN的第三消息。
可选的,终端接收到第三消息,向MN发送第五消息。
其中一种情况,第五消息用于向MN指示终端接收到该第三消息。可以理解的,第五消息不包括终端向源SN和/或候选SN发送的消息。MN接收到第五消息后,可以根据第五消息确定第六消息,并向第一SN发送第六消息。第六消息用于指示终端接收到第三消息或者指示终端接收到CPA配置或CPC配置。第一SN包括源SN与候选SN中的至少一个SN。
其中另一种情况,第五消息用于指示终端接收到该第三消息。第五消息包括终端向第一SN发送的消息。MN接收到第五消息后,向第一SN转发终端向第一SN发送的消息。
一种可能的实现方式,终端接收到第三消息后,根据第三消息进行条件PSCell变更。进一步的,终端接收到第三消息后,根据第三消息确定第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的测量对象配置和测量上报配置。终端还检测每个候选PSCell对应的测量上报配置指示的变更条件,并在检测到至少一个满足变更条件的候选PSCell的情况下,选择其中一个候选PSCell,应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置。
进一步的,终端根据第三消息确定第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的测量对象配置和测量上报配置,包括:若第三消息包括第一标识,第一标识包括测量标识,或者第一标识包括测量标识和条件重配置标识,终端根据测量标识确定第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的测量对象配置和测量上报配置。若第三消息包括第一标识,第一标识包括条件重配置标识,终端根据条件重配置标识确定该条件重配置标识对应的测量标识,根据测量标识确定第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的测量对象配置和测量上报配置。若第三消息包括第一信息,终端根据测量标识确定第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的测量对象配置和测量上报配置。
一种可能的实现方式,终端接收到第三消息后,源SN或候选SN触发释放第二候选PSCell列表中,候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息。如此,可以节省源SN、候选SN以及终端的存储开销,也可以提高资源的利用率,使得源SN或候选SN将释放的资源配置给其他终端。
示例性的,以源SN触发释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息,第一候选PSCell为第二候选PSCell列表中任意一个或多个候选PSCell为例,源SN向MN发送第八消息,第八消息用于指示释放 第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息,第八消息包括第一候选PSCell的标识和/或第一候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识。MN接收到第八消息后,向终端发送第九消息,向候选SN发送第十消息,第九消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息,第十消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。
示例性的,以候选SN触发释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息为例,候选SN向MN发送第十一消息。其中,第十一消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息,第十一消息包括第一候选PSCell的标识,和/或,第一候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,或者第十一消息包括第一候选PSCell的索引。MN接收到第十一消息后,根据第十一消息的内容,MN能够确定需要释放第一候选PSCell的CPC配置,向终端发送第十二消息,向源SN发送第十三消息,第十二消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息,第十三消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置。可以理解的,若上述第十一消息中包括第一候选PSCell的索引,则上述第一消息中也包括该第一候选PSCell的索引。在这种情况下,候选SN需要释放第一候选PSCell对应的CPC配置时,候选SN把第一候选PSCell的索引发送给MN即可。
示例性的,以MN触发释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息为例,MN向候选SN发送第十四消息。其中,第十四消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,第十四消息包括第一候选PSCell的标识和/或第一候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,或者第十四消息包括第一候选PSCell的索引。MN向终端发送第十五消息,向源SN发送第十六消息,第十五消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息,第十六消息用于指示释放第一候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置。
可以理解的,若上述第十四消息中包括第一候选PSCell的索引,则上述第一消息中也包括该第一候选PSCell的索引。在这种情况下,MN需要释放第一候选PSCell对应的CPC配置时,MN把第一候选PSCell的索引发送给候选SN即可。
一种可能的实现方式,终端接收到第三消息之后,终端根据候选PSCell的变更条件进行判断候选PSCell是否满足变更条件。当至少一个PSCell的变更条件得到满足时,选择其中一个满足条件的候选PSCell,应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置。后续,终端可以向MN发送一个消息,该消息中携带了一个指示信息,该指示信息包括终端选择的候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,或终端选择的候选PSCell的标识,应理解,候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识与候选PSCell的标识相比,所需的比特数更少,因此,相比于该指示信息包括终端选择的候选PSCell的标识的情况,该指示信息包括终端选择的候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识的情况下,更节省信令开销。MN接收到上述一个消息后,可以根据该指示信息确定终端选择的候选PSCell。
进一步,MN可以根据终端选择的候选PSCell,向候选PSCell对应的SN发送一个消息,该消息用于通知候选PSCell对应的SN,终端已经选择了该SN中的候选PSCell或该SN中的候选PSCell满足了条件PSCell变更条件。在终端选择了候选PSCell之后,终端与该候选PSCell发起随机接入,并在候选PSCell随机接入成功之后,与MN和该候选PSCell对应的SN建立了双连接。可以理解的,本申请实施例不限制第一消息、第二消息或第三消息的数量。也就是说,MN可以向候选SN发送多条第一消息,候选SN也可以向MN发送多条第二消息,MN还可以向终端发送多条第三消息。以MN向终端发送多条第三消息为例,每条第三消息对应一个候选SN的一个或多个候选PSCell的相关信息(例如,一个或多个候选PSCell的标识、一个或多个候选PSCell对应的第一标识、以及一个或多个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息)。可以理解的,若MN向终端发送一条第三消息,该第三消息可以包括多个候选SN中,每个候选SN的候选PSCell的相关信息。
基于图3所示的方法,MN可以确定第一消息,并向候选SN发送第一消息。候选SN接收到第一消息后,可以在第一候选PSCell列表中选择候选PSCell(即第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell),并向MN发送第二消息。MN接收到第二消息后,将第二消息中的全部或部分消息包括在第三消息中发送给终端,以便终端根据第三消息进行CPC。一方面,MN不需要存储候选PSCell对应的第一消息中的相关信息(比如第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识),节省了MN的存储开销。MN也不需要根据第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell的标识将该候选PSCell对应的第一标识和该候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息关联起来,简化了MN的处理过程,降低了NM的开销,缩短了终端进行CPC的时间。另一方面,第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell是从第一候选PSCell列表中选择处理的,MN接收到第二消息后,是将第二消息中的全部或部分内容包括在第三消息中发送给终端的,不会出现无法确定候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的问题。
上述图3所示的方法是以MN触发CPC为例进行介绍的,下面以源SN触发CPC为例介绍本申请实施例提供的通信方法。
如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的又一种通信方法。该通信方法是以源SN触发CPC为例介绍的。该CPC可以是SN之间的CPC(inter-SN CPC),也可以是SN内的CPC(intra-SN CPC)。该通信方法包括步骤401-步骤404。
步骤401:源SN向MN发送第四消息。
其中,源SN可以称为源辅节点,源辅基站等。源SN为当前与终端已经建立连接的SN。源SN可以为图1中的网络设备101或网络设备102。终端可以为图1中的终端103或终端104。
MN可以称为主节点、主基站等。若源SN为图1中的网络设备101,则MN可以为图1中的网络设备102,若源SN为图1中的网络设备102,则MN可以为图1中的网络设备101。
一种可能的实现方式,源SN确定第四消息,并向MN发送第四消息。其中,第四消息还可以称为SN变更请求(SN change required)消息。第四消息可以有以下两 种情况:
情况3:第四消息包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识。
其中,第一候选PSCell列表包括源SN为终端配置(或推荐)的至少一个候选PSCell。该至少一个候选PSCell为一个候选SN的小区,也可以为多个候选SN的小区。候选SN为源SN为终端配置的。本申请不限制候选SN的数量。候选SN可以为图1中的网络设备105。第一标识的介绍可以参考上述图3所示方法中对应的描述,不同的是,图4所示方法中的第一标识是源SN确定(或生成)的。
进一步的,至少一个候选PSCell为源SN检测到的信号质量较好的PSCell,或者为源SN根据预设置的算法选择的PSCell。本申请实施例中,任一候选PSCell列表还可以称为候选PSCell集合,用于表示一个或多个候选PSCell。
情况4:第四消息包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识以及每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识。进一步可选的,第四消息还包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识。测量标识和条件重配置标识为源SN确定(或生成)的。
一种可能的实现方式,源SN除了确定测量标识和/或条件重配置标识之外,还要确定测量标识关联的测量对象标识和测量上报配置标识。也就是说,源SN还可以确定候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置和测量上报配置。测量对象配置和测量上报配置的介绍可以参考上述图1中对应的描述,不予赘述。
进一步的,源SN可以在步骤303之前,直接向终端发送第十七消息,或者通过MN向终端发送第十七消息。第十七消息用于指示测量标识,与该测量标识关联的测量对象标识和测量上报配置标识,以便终端接收到第十三消息后,根据第十三消息确定该测量标识对应的测量对象配置以及测量上报配置。
一种可能的实现方式,第四消息还包括第一指示信息,以便MN确定源SN触发了条件PSCell变更。第一指示信息用于指示条件PSCell变更是由源SN触发的。
对应的,MN接收来自源SN的第四消息。
步骤402:MN向候选SN发送第一消息。
可以理解的,当候选SN为多个时,MN向每个候选SN发送第一消息。第一消息还可以称为SN增加请求(SN add request)消息。
对于上述情况3,第一消息有以下两种情况:
情况3.1:第一消息可以包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识。
情况3.2:第一消息可以包括第一候选PSCell列表中中部分候选PSCell的标识,以及这些候选PSCell对应的第一标识。
对于上述情况4,第一消息有以下三种情况:
情况4.1:第一消息包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识以及每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识。进一步可选的,第一消息还包括第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识。
情况4.2:第一消息中可以包括第一候选PSCell列表中中部分候选PSCell的标识, 以及这些候选PSCell对应的测量标识。进一步可选的,第一消息还包括这些候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识。
情况4.3:第一消息包括第一候选PSCell列表中部分或全部的候选PSCell的标识。进一步可选的,第一消息还包括这些候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识。
一种可能的实现方式,第一消息还包括第一指示信息,以便候选SN确定源SN触发了条件PSCell变更。
对应的,候选SN接收来自MN的第一消息。
步骤403:候选SN根据第一消息向MN发送第二消息。
其中,第二消息还可以称为SN增加响应消息。
对于上述情况3.1和情况3.2,第二消息可以包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。其中,候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的介绍可以参考上述图1中对应的描述,不予赘述。
对于上述情况4.1和情况4.2,第二消息可以包括第一信息。第一信息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。可选的,第一信息还可以包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件配置标识。
对于上述情况4.3,第二消息可以包括第一信息。第一信息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。可选的,第一信息还可以包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件配置标识。
其中,第二消息、第二候选PSCell列表以及第一候选PSCell列表的介绍可以参考上述图3所示方法中对应的描述,不予赘述。
一种可能的实现方式,第一信息为RRC重配置(RRCReconfiguration)消息。
对应的,MN接收来自候选SN的第二消息。
步骤404:MN向终端发送第三消息。
对于上述情况3.1和情况3.2:第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。在这种情况下,MN接收到第二消息后,获取第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,并向终端发送第三消息。
对于上述情况4.1和情况4.2:若第一信息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,第三消息包括第一信息。在这种情况下,MN可以不感知第一信息,也就是说,MN不解析第一信息。MN接收到第二消息后,直接将第二消息中的第一信息包括在第三消息中发送给终端。如此,MN使用常规技术就可以向终端发送第三消息,而不需要增加新的信元来指示第一信息。例如,第一信息是候选SN生成的RRC重配消息,MN生成一个RRC重配消息,该MN生成的RRC重配消息中包含了SN生成的RRC重配消息。若第一信息不包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识,每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置 标识以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。其中,第三消息中包括的第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的为MN确定(或生成)的。
对于上述情况4.3:第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。MN根据第三消息中的每个候选PSCell的标识可以从第四消息中找到该候选PSCell对应的测量标识。进一步的,如果第四消息中第一候选PSCell列表中还包括每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,MN还可以从第四消息中找到第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识。如果第四消息中第一候选PSCell列表中不包括每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,则MN可以为第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell生成一个条件重配置标识,或者第二候选PSCell列表中包括了每个候选PSCell的条件重配置标识。根据以上方法,MN可以获得第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识,每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,之后MN向终端设备发送第三消息,第三消息包括第二候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识,每个候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识以及每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。
可以理解的,第三消息中的候选PSCell的标识可以包括在候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息中。
一种可能的实现方式,第三消息还包括第一指示信息。可以理解的,MN可能触发CPC,源SN也可能触发CPC。在MN触发的CPC中,测量标识/条件重配置标识可以是MN确定(或生成)的,在源SN触发的CPC中,测量标识/条件重配置标识是源SN确定(或生成)的。MN确定的测量标识/条件重配置标识对应的测量对象配置和测量上报配置,与源SN确定的测量标识/条件重配置标识对应的测量对象配置和测量上报配置可能不同。若第三消息不包括第一指示信息,终端接收到第三消息后,并不知道第三消息中的测量标识为MN确定的,还是源SN确定的,终端也就无法根据测量标识/条件重配置标识确定测量对象配置和测量上报配置。
可以理解的,MN向终端发送第一指示信息的方法除了应用于本申请的方法中之外,也可以应用于常规技术中,以便终端根据第一指示信息确定MN发送给终端的测量标识是MN确定的,还是源SN确定的,从而终端可以根据第一指示信息确定测量标识对应的候选PSCell变更条件是MN配置的,还是SN配置的,终端根据MN或SN配置的该测量标识对应的测量对象配置和测量上报配置进行候选PSCell变更条件判断。例如,上述示例3中的消息8中也可以包括该第一指示信息。可选的,上述示例3中的消息6和/或消息7也可以包括该第一指示信息。
进一步的,第一指示信息可以通过一个信元来指示。示例性的,第一指示信息可以通过信元的名称或信元的取值来指示。
一种可能的实现方式,第三消息为RRC消息。
对应的,终端接收来自MN的第三消息。
终端接收到第三消息后的介绍可以参考上述图3所示方法中对应的描述,不予赘述。
可以理解的,本申请实施例不限制第一消息、第二消息、第三消息或第四消息的 数量。也就是说,源SN可以向MN发送多条第四消息,MN也可以向候选SN发送多条第一消息,候选SN也可以向MN发送多条第二消息,MN还可以向终端发送多条第三消息。以源SN向MN发送多条第四消息为例,每条第四消息对应一个候选SN的一个或多个候选PSCell的相关信息(例如,一个或多个候选PSCell的标识,和一个或多个候选PSCell对应的第一标识)。可以理解的,若源SN向MN发送一条第四消息,该第四消息可以包括多个候选SN中,每个候选SN的候选PSCell的相关信息。
基于图4所示的方法,MN可以接收来自源SN的第四消息,根据第四消息向候选SN发送第一消息。候选SN接收到第一消息后,可以在第一候选PSCell列表中选择候选PSCell(即第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell),并向MN发送第二消息。MN接收到第二消息后,将第二消息中的全部或部分消息包括在第三消息中发送给终端,以便终端根据第三消息进行CPC。一方面,MN不需要存储候选PSCell对应的第四消息中的相关信息(比如第一候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识,以及每个候选PSCell对应的测量标识),节省了MN的存储开销。MN也不需要根据第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell的标识将该候选PSCell对应的第一标识和该候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息关联起来,简化了MN的处理过程,降低了NM的开销,缩短了终端进行CPC的时间。另一方面,第二候选PSCell列表中的候选PSCell是从第一候选PSCell列表中选择处理的,MN接收到第二消息后,是将第二消息中的全部或部分内容包括在第三消息中发送给终端的,不会出现无法确定候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息,或者候选PSCell对应的测量标识的问题。
上述图3所示的方法是以MN触发CPC为例介绍本申请实施例提供的通信方法的,上述图4所示的方法是以源SN触发CPC为例介绍本申请实施例提供的通信方法的。在上述图3或图4所示的方法中,终端接收到来自MN的第三消息后,还可以向MN发送第五消息,第五消息用于指示终端接收到第三消息。类似的,在进行CPA的过程中,终端接收到来自MN的用于指示候选PSCell的添加条件和配置的消息1后,也可以向MN发送用于指示接收到该消息1的消息2。下面介绍终端接收到来自MN的用于指示候选PSCell的添加/变更条件和配置的消息后,终端的处理方法。
如图5所示,为本申请实施例提供的又一种通信方法。该通信方法可以应用于MN触发的条件PSCell添加/变更的情况下,或者,该通信方法可以应用于源SN触发的inter-SN CPC,或者,该通信方法可以应用于源SN触发的intra-SN CPC。该通信方法包括步骤501-步骤503。
步骤501:MN向终端发送第一消息。
其中,MN可以称为主节点或主基站等。MN可以为图1中的网络设备101或网络设备102。终端可以为图1中的终端103或终端104。
一种可能的实现方式,第一消息用于指示候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的添加/变更条件和无线资源配置。候选PSCell列表包括MN或源SN为终端配置的至少一个候选PSCell。该至少一个候选PSCell为一个候选SN的小区,也可以为多个候选SN的小区。
其中,候选SN为源SN或MN为终端配置的。本申请不限制候选SN的数量。候选SN可以为图1中的网络设备105。候选SN可以称为候选辅节点或候选辅基站等。
其中,源SN可以称为源辅节点或源辅基站等。源SN为当前与终端连接的SN。若MN为图1中的网络设备101,源SN可以为图1中的网络设备102;若MN为图1中的网络设备102,源SN可以为图1中的网络设备101。
示例性的,第一消息包括候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的标识,每个候选PSCell对应的第一标识和每个候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息。其中,候选PSCell对应的第一标识以及候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息的介绍,可以参考上述图3所示方法中对应的描述,不予赘述。
一种可能的实现方式,第一消息还包括第一指示信息。第一指示信息用于指示条件PSCell变更是由源SN触发的,或者用于指示条件PSCell变更是由MN触发的。
一种可能的实现方式,第一消息为RRC消息。
对应的,终端接收来自MN的第一消息。
一种可能的实现方式,终端接收到第一消息之后,终端根据候选PSCell的添加条件或变更条件进行判断终端设备是否满足条件。当至少一个PSCell的添加条件或变更条件得到满足时,选择其中一个满足条件的候选PSCell,应用该候选PSCell的无线资源配置。后续,终端可以向MN发送一个消息,该消息中携带了一个指示信息,该指示信息包括终端选择的候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识,或终端选择的候选PSCell的标识,应理解,候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识与候选PSCell的标识相比,所需的比特数更少,因此,相比于该指示信息包括终端选择的候选PSCell的标识的情况,该指示信息包括终端选择的候选PSCell对应的条件重配置标识的情况下,更节省信令开销。MN接收到上述一个消息后,可以根据该指示信息确定终端选择的候选PSCell。
进一步,MN可以根据终端选择的候选PSCell,向候选PSCell对应的SN发送一个消息,该消息用于通知候选PSCell对应的SN,终端已经选择了该SN中的候选PSCell或该SN中的候选PSCell满足了条件PSCell变更条件。在终端选择了候选PSCell之后,终端与该候选PSCell发起随机接入,并在候选PSCell随机接入成功之后,与MN和该候选PSCell对应的SN建立了双连接。步骤502:终端向MN发送第二消息。
一种可能的实现方式,终端检测到至少一个满足添加/变更条件的候选PSCell的情况下,向MN发送第二消息。其中,第二消息有以下两种情况:
情况5:第二消息用于向MN指示终端接收到第一消息。可以理解的,第二消息不包括终端向源SN和/或候选SN发送的消息。
情况6:第二消息用于指示终端接收到该第一消息。第二消息包括终端向第一SN发送的消息。
一种可能的实现方式,第二消息为RRC消息。
对应的,MN接收来自终端的第二消息。
步骤503:MN根据第二消息向第一SN发送第三消息。
一种可能的实现方式,第一消息用于指示候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的添加条件和无线资源配置的情况下,第一SN为MN为终端确定的候选SN中的至少一个。在第一消息用于指示候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的变更条件和无线资源配置的情况下,第一SN为MN或源SN为终端确定的候选SN以及源SN中的至少一个。
对于上述情况5,MN接收到第二消息后,可以根据第二消息确定第三消息,并向 第一SN发送第三消息。第三消息用于指示终端接收到第一消息或者指示终端接收到CPA配置或CPC配置。
对于上述情况6:MN接收到第二消息后,向第一SN转发终端向第一SN发送的消息。
对应的,第一SN接收来自MN的第三消息。第一SN接收到第三消息后,可以根据第三消息确定终端接收到第一消息或者确定终端接收到CPA配置或CPC配置。
可以理解的,第三消息中的候选PSCell的标识可以包括在候选PSCell对应的无线资源配置信息中。
一种可能的实现方式,第一SN接收到第三消息后,触发释放候选PSCell列表中候选PSCell对应的测量对象配置,和/或,测量上报配置,和/或,无线资源配置信息。具体的,可以参考上述图3所示方法中对应的描述,不予赘述。
基于图5所示的方法,终端在接收到用于指示候选PSCell列表中每个候选PSCell的添加/变更条件和无线资源配置的第一消息后,可以向MN发送第二消息,该第二消息中可以不包括终端向第一SN发送的消息。MN接收到第二消息后,可以根据第二消息确定(或生成)第三消息,并向第一SN发送第三消息,以便第一SN确定终端接收到第一消息。
