Description

无线通信方法与装置、终端和存储介质 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种无线通信方法与装置、终端和存储介质。
背景技术
由于实际的网络部署总会存在覆盖盲点,导致处于覆盖盲点的终端无法与网络设备进行通信,因此第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)在标准协议中引入中继(Relay)的概念,并通过中继来提升网络覆盖以解决覆盖盲点的问题。
然而,在实际基于中继的通信过程中,通信过程常常发生切换失败或者无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)等问题。此时,终端需要恢复无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接以避免无法继续开展业务而影响用户体验。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种无线通信方法与装置、终端和存储介质,以期望实现终端接入可用的中继所接入的小区或者接入合适的小区,减少恢复RRC连接过程中的时延,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,提升终端恢复RRC连接的几率。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种无线通信方法,包括:
在终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败时,所终端确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区;
所述终端通过所述可用的中继和/或所述合适的小区执行无线资源控制RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区,所述第一小区包括所述可用的中继所接入的小区或者所述合适的小区。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供一种无线通信装置,应用于终端;所述装置包括处理单元,所述处理单元用于:
在所述终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败时,确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区;
通过所述可用的中继和/或所述合适的小区执行无线资源控制RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区,所述第一小区包括所述可用的中继所接入的小区或者所述合适的小区。
第三方面,本申请实施例提供一种终端,包括处理器、存储器、通信接口以及一个或多个程序,其中,所述一个或多个程序被存储在所述存储器中, 并且被配置由所述处理器执行,所述程序包括用于执行本申请实施例第一方面任一方法中的步骤的指令。
第四方面,本申请实施例提供了一种芯片,包括:处理器,用于从存储器中调用并运行计算机程序,使得安装有所述芯片的设备执行如本申请实施例第一方面中所描述的部分或全部步骤。
第五方面,本申请实施例提供了一种计算机可读存储介质,其中,所述计算机可读存储介质存储用于电子数据交换的计算机程序,其中,所述计算机程序使得计算机执行如本申请实施例第一方面中所描述的部分或全部步骤。
第六方面,本申请实施例提供了一种计算机程序,其中,所述计算机程序可操作来使计算机执行如本申请实施例第一方面中所描述的部分或全部步骤。该计算机程序可以为一个软件安装包。
可以看出,本申请实施例中,在终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败时,终端通过确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区;然后,终端通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区执行RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区。由于在终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败时,终端很容易因为发现不到合适的小区,而导致终端进入空闲态,以及无法继续开展业务,因此本申请通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区来执行RRC重建或者切换流程,从而实现终端接入可用的中继所接入的小区或者接入合适的小区,减少恢复RRC连接过程中的时延,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,提升终端恢复RRC连接的几率,以及确保终端继续开展业务。

需要说明的是,在一些网络部署中,gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和DU,而gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。其中,CU可以实现gNB的部分功能,而DU可以实现gNB的部分功能。比如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层和分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。另外,AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令(如RRC层信令)可以认为是由DU发送的,或者由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外,可以将CU划分为接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network,CN)中的网络设备,对此不做具体限定。
进一步的,网络设备可以具有移动特性,例如网络设备可以为移动的设备。可选地,网络设备可以为卫星、气球站。例如,卫星可以为低地球轨道(low earth orbit,LEO)卫星、中地球轨道(medium earth orbit,MEO)卫星、 地球同步轨道(geostationary earth orbit,GEO)卫星、高椭圆轨道(high elliptical orbit,HEO)卫星等。可选地,网络设备还可以为设置在陆地、水域等位置的基站。
进一步的,网络设备可以为小区提供服务,而该小区内的终端可以通过传输资源(如频谱资源)与网络设备进行通信。其中,该小区可以包括小小区(small cell)、城市小区(metro cell)、微小区(micro cell)、微微小区(pico cell)和毫微微小区(femto cell)等。
示例性的,本申请实施例应用的无线通信系统,如图1所示。无线通信系统10可以包括网络设备110和终端120,而网络设备110可以是与终端120执行通信的设备。同时,网络设备110可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端120进行通信。
可选地,无线通信系统10还可以包括多个网络设备,并且每个网络设备的覆盖范围内可以包括其它数量的终端,在此不作具体限定。
可选地,无线通信系统10还可以包括网络控制器、移动管理实体等其他网络实体,在此不作具体限定。
可选地,无线通信系统10中的网络设备与终端之间,以及终端与终端之间的通信可以为无线通信或者有线通信,在此不作具体限制。
在对本实施例提供的无线通信方法进行详细介绍之前,再对本实施例所涉及的相关通信技术进行介绍。
在无线通信系统中,终端在网络设备的通信覆盖范围之内,可以接收系统消息和寻呼消息。在有业务需求时,终端可以发起随机接入流程建立无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接,进而在完成安全激活之后,建立数据无线承载并开始传输业务数据。
然而,当终端处于网络设备的通信覆盖范围之外时,终端通常不能与网络设备进行信息交互。由于实际的网络部署总会存在覆盖盲点,导致处于覆盖盲点的终端无法与网络设备进行通信。因此,3GPP在标准协议引入中继(Relay)的概念,并通过中继来提升网络覆盖以解决覆盖盲点的问题。
如图2所示,终端210(或称为remote UE)处于网络设备230的覆盖范围之外,因此终端210通过处于网络设备230的覆盖范围内的中继220(或称为Relay UE)接入网络。其中,中继220可以看作具有中继功能的终端,中继220与终端210采用PC5接口进行通信,并且网络设备230对应的小区作为终端210的服务小区。此时,中继220与服务小区采用现有终端与服务小区的通信机制,并且中继220与终端210可以通过直接通信机制进行数据和信令交互。对于下行,中继220可以将网络设备230发送给终端210的信令和数据转发给终端210;对于上行,中继220可以将终端210发送网络设备230的信令和数据转发给网络设备230。
另外,由于中继可能存在不断移动的情况,因此图3示例出中继320从服务小区移动到目标小区,并且中继320依然继续为终端310提供服务。其中,服务小区对应的网络设备为网络设备330,目标小区对应的网络设备为网络设备340。
然而,在实际基于中继的通信过程中,还存在如下通信场景:
场景一:终端(或称为remote UE)先在服务小区中处于连接态,由于服务小区信号太差,该终端探测是否存在可用的中继。如果有可用的中继,服务小区可以将该终端切换到该可用的中继,并由该可用的中继为该终端提供服务;
场景二:终端先在服务小区中处于连接态,并由服务小区为该终端配置一个或多个候选中继,以及相应的切换执行条件。然后,当该终端从一个或多个候选中继中判断出满足该切换执行条件的一个候选中继,该终端切换到该候选中继。
场景三:终端在服务小区中处于连接态,并且该终端已经通过中继与该服务小区对应的网络设备建立通信,可以顺利开展业务。此时,该终端需要从该中继切换到新的中继,或者从该中继切换到该服务小区中。
在上述的各个切换过程中,终端可能探测到切换失败或者无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF),终端如果采用目前通信协议规定的处理机制。例如,终端进行小区选择,如果有合适的小区(suitable cell),则终端发起RRC重建请求(RRCReestablishmentRequest)进行重建流程;如果没有合适的小区,则终端进入空闲态。由于终端很容易因为发现不到合适的小区,而导致终端进入空闲态,从而终端无法继续开展业务,影响用户体验。
针对上述“场景一”“场景二”、“场景三”或者其他本申请涉及的无线通信系统中的切换过程,本申请实施例提供一种无线通信方法的流程示意图,请参阅图4。其中,该无线通信方法可以应用于本申请实施例的无线通信系统。该方法包括:
S410、在终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败时,终端确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的终端可以在服务小区中处于连接态(RRC_CONNETED)或者通过中继接入网络处于连接态。另外,本申请实施例中的终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败的情况可以具体如上述“场景一”“场景二”或者“场景三”中的各个切换过程中的切换失败或者无线链路失败。也就是说,终端可以是在探测是否存在可用的中继的过程中的无线链路失败,可以在判断由网络配置的至少一个候选中继中是否存在满足切换执行条件的候选中继的过程中的无线链路失败;或者,终端可以是在由服务小区切换到探测到的可用的中继的过程中的切换失败,可以是在由终端切换 到配置的候选中继的过程中的切换失败,可以是在由终端从中继切换到新的中继的过程中的切换失败,也可以是在由终端从中继切换到服务小区的过程中的切换失败,对此不作具体限制。
进一步需要说明的是,终端确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区,可以理解为,终端既可以只确定出可用的中继,也可以只确定出合适的小区,还可以都确定出可用的中继和合适的小区,对此不作具体限制。
举例说明,在“场景一”中,在终端向可用的中继执行切换的过程中,由于终端无法在预设时间内与该可用的中继建立通信,或者即使终端与该可用的中继取得了通信,但是该可用的中继通知终端自己无法继续承担中继角色(如该可用的中继无法与自己所接入的小区实现通信),从而导致切换失败。
下面本申请实施例将对终端如何确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区进行具体说明。
在一个可能的示例中,终端确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区,可以包括以下操作:终端执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程以确定可用的中继;和/或,终端从网络配置的至少一个候选中继中确定可用的中继;和/或,终端执行小区选择流程以确定合适的小区;和/或,终端执行小区选择流程以确定合适的小区,并根据合适的小区的系统消息确定可用的中继。
需要说明的是,网络配置的至少一个候选中继可以是在终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败之前,由网络通过信令配置给终端的。其中,该网络可以是服务小区对应的网络设备等;或者,该网络可以无线通信系统中的其他设备,对此不作具体限制。
进一步需要说明的是,在如何确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区的过程中,终端可以执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程,可以获取网络配置的至少一个候选中继,可以执行小区选择流程,还可以在执行小区选择流程确定出合适的小区中获取该合适的小区的系统消息。对于终端需要具体执行哪些流程或者操作,下面结合多种情形进行说明。
情形1:
具体的,如果终端已确定出可用的中继,则终端不执行小区选择流程。
可以理解的是,在如何确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区的过程中,如果终端已经通过执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程确定出可用的中继,或者如果终端已经通过从网络配置的至少一个候选中继中确定出可用的中继,则终端可以无需执行小区选择流程。
需要说明的是,如果终端有可用的中继,则不执行小区选择流程。此时,终端可以直接通过该可用的中继执行RRC重建或者切换流程以接入该可用的中继所接入的小区,从而保证终端能继续开展业务。同时,通过该方式可以 保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,减少因小区选择可能引入的较大时延。
情形2:
具体的,在终端执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程时,如果没有发现可用的中继,则终端再执行小区选择流程。
可以理解的是,在如何确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区的过程中,如果终端通过执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程没有发现可用的中继,则终端需要再执行小区选择流程。另外,在执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程中,由于受时间限制等原因,在预设的时间内终端没有发现可用的中继,因此终端执行小区选择流程,从而避免长时间探测中继以造成终端不能迅速恢复连接,影响用户体验。
情形3:
具体的,中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程以及小区选择流程由终端并行或同时执行。
可以理解的是,在如何确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区的过程中,终端可以并行或者同时执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程以及小区选择流程。
情形4:
具体的,中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程由终端优先执行;或者,小区选择流程由终端优先执行。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,终端是优先执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程,还是优先小区选择流程可以通过具体的切换场景确定。例如,在“场景一”中,当服务小区到终端的信号变差即终端测得服务小区的信号质量很差,并且没有其他可以切换的邻小区时,终端最有可能通过可用的中继执行切换,此时,终端可以优先执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程;在“场景三”中,当终端需要从中继切换到新的中继时,终端可以优先执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程;在“场景三”中,当终端需要从中继切换到服务小区时,终端可以优先执行小区选择流程。另外,终端优先执行中继发现和/或中继探测流程,或优先执行小区选择流程均受时间限制。例如,在预设的时间内,终端优先执行某流程,如果在该预设的时间内,没有发现可用的中继或合适的小区,则执行另一流程。
情形5:
具体的,在终端执行小区选择流程时,如果没有发现合适的小区,则终端再执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程。
可以理解的是,在如何确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区的过程中,如果终端通过执行小区选择流程没有发现合适的小区(或者,在预设时间内没有发现合适的小区),则终端需要再执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程。
可见,在确定可用的中继和/上述各种情形的过程中,通过上述各种情形确定终端需要具体执行哪些流程或者操作以实现终端恢复RRC连接,从而有利于提高整个无线通信系统的灵活性。同时,提供多种终端恢复RRC连接的方式,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,减少恢复RRC连接过程中的时延,以及提升终端恢复RRC连接的几率。
下面本申请实施将对中继发现流程进行具体说明。
具体的,中继发现流程可以包括以下步骤:终端接收第一信息,第一信息用于指示具有提供中继服务的至少一个中继。
需要说明的是,由于终端无法获知周围有哪些中继可以向自身提供中继服务,因此本申请实施考虑由能够提供中继服务的中继向周边广播自身具有提供中继服务的第一信息。此时,终端通过接收第一信息,获知提供中继服务的至少一个中继。
具体的,中继发现流程可以包括以下步骤:终端发送中继请求消息;终端接收响应于中继请求消息的第二信息,第二信息用于指示具有提供中继服务的至少一个中继。
需要说明的是,由于终端无法获知周围有哪些中继可以向自身提供中继服务,因此本申请实施考虑由终端向周围广播或发送中继请求消息。如果有中继接收到该中继请求消息,并且该中继愿意向终端提供中继服务,则该中继向终端发送响应于中继请求消息的第二信息。最终,终端通过接收第二信息,可以获知具有提供中继服务的至少一个中继。
下面本申请实施将对中继探测流程进行具体说明。
具体的,中继探测流程可以包括以下步骤:终端获取至少一个中继发送的信号;终端判断至少一个中继发送的信号是否满足第一预设条件。需要说明的是,本申请实施例可以先通过中继发现流程确定至少一个中继,再通过中继探测流程确定该至少一个中继中是否存在满足第一预设条件的中继,从而实现将满足第一预设条件的中继作为可用的中继。
进一步的,至少一个中继发送的信号可以包括以下至少一种:同步信号、解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)。
进一步的,第一预设条件可以包括:在终端检测或者测量至少一个中继发送的信号质量时(即终端检测或测量中继发送的信号,评估信号质量),该至少一个中继发送的信号质量超过预设的门限。
其中,至少一个中继发送的信号质量可以通过参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)或者信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)等表示。
进一步的,第一预设条件可以由标准协议规定,可以由网络配置,也可 以是预配置的。
综上所述,在一个可能的示例中,终端执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程以确定可用的中继,可以包括以下操作:终端执行中继发现流程以确定至少一个中继;终端执行中继探测流程,并将至少一个中继中满足第一预设条件的中继作为可用的中继。
可以理解的是,在终端发现至少一个中继之后,终端需要探测该至少一个中继的信号是否满足第一预设条件。其中,终端探测该至少一个中继的信号质量是否超过预设门限,并将超过该预设门限的中继作为可用的中继。另外,在终端通过中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程确定出可用的中继之后,终端可以通过该可用的中继执行RRC重建,从而实现终端接入该可用的中继所接入的小区,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,以及确保终端能继续开展业务。另外,通过中继执行RRC重建可以是终端将RRC重建请求发送给中继,再由中继将该重建请求转发给自己所接入的小区。如果该小区允许该终端的重建请求,则会向中继返回RRC重建消息,以便终端通过该重建消息恢复与网络的信令交互。
需要说明的是,上述将确定可用的中继的流程划分为中继发现流程和中继探测流程。在实际中,这两个流程也可以合在一起统称为中继的发现流程或中继的搜索流程。或者说,上述中继发现流程和中继探测流程是可以同时进行的。比如,在终端接收中继发送的第一信息时,该第一信息中包含解调参考信号,终端可以评估接收的解调参考信号是否满足第一预设条件。
具体的,若至少一个中继中满足第一预设条件的中继的数量大于或等于2,则可用的中继满足以下一种方式:可用的中继为满足第一预设条件的中继中的随机一个中继、可用的中继为满足第一预设条件的中继中RSRP最强的一个中继。
可以理解的是,如果终端在执行中继探测流程中存在有至少两个中继满足第一预设条件,则终端可以从该至少两个中继中随机选择一个中继作为可用的中继,也可以从该至少两个中继中选择RSRP最强的中继作为可用的中继,从而提高无线通信系统的灵活性。
另外,在本申请实施例中,由于终端可以在服务小区的边缘,并且该终端处于连接态,因此当服务小区发现没有合适的邻小区可以继续该终端提供服务时,服务小区对应的网络设备可以通知该终端执行中继探测流程,并向其上报可用的中继,以便服务小区对应的网络设备可以将该终端切换到该可用的中继。此外,服务小区需要首先与该可用的中继所接入的小区(可以是邻小区或者是该终端所接入的服务小区)进行通信,协商该终端的资源分配;其次,该可用的中继所接入的小区将分配的资源返回服务小区对应的网络设备;然后,服务小区对应的网络设备发送切换命令给该终端;其中,切换命 令包含该可用的中继所接入的小区为该终端分配的资源等信息;最后,该终端接收到切换命令之后,切换到该可用的中继。
下面本申请实施例将对终端如何从网络配置的至少一个候选中继中确定可用的中继进行具体说明。
在一个可能的示例中,终端从网络配置的至少一个候选中继中确定可用的中继,可以包括以下操作:终端获取由网络配置的至少一个候选中继和切换执行条件;终端将至少一个候选中继中满足切换执行条件或第二预设条件的候选中继作为可用的中继。
需要说明的是,服务小区对应的网络设备会预先为终端配置至少一个候选中继以及相应的切换执行条件,并且该网络设备已经与该至少一个候选中继所接入的小区(以及候选中继)提前协商好相关的资源分配等信息。此时,当终端从该至少一个候选中继中确定出可用的中继时,终端可以直接切换到该可用的中继,从而实现接入该可用的中继所接入的小区。相比于上述由终端执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程以及RRC重建进行切换的过程,由网络配置至少一个候选中继和相应的切换执行条件的方式有利于提高RRC恢复效率,以及保证终端尽快恢复数据通信。
具体的,第二预设条件可以包括:在终端检测至少一个候选中继发送的信号质量时(即终端检测候选中继发送的信号,评估信号质量),至少一个候选中继发送的信号质量超过预设的门限。
下面本申请实施例将对小区选择流程进行具体说明。
具体的,小区选择流程可以包括以下步骤:终端扫描所支持的频点以发现频点上最强RSRP的合适小区。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例的小区选择流程中,终端执行小区选择,并且终端发现至少一个小区满足小区选择的条件。另外,小区选择的条件可以是标准协议TS38.304中规定的S准则。S准则是小区的信号满足预设的条件,并且在该小区所在的频点上,满足终端测得的该小区的RSRP是最强的。其中,小区的信号可以包括同步信号。
综上所述,在一个可能的示例中,终端执行小区选择流程以确定合适的小区,可以包括以下操作:终端扫描所支持的一个或多个频点;终端测量所支持的频点上合适小区的RSRP,并将频点上RSRP最强对应的合适小区作为小区选择的目标小区。
需要说明的是,在终端通过小区选择流程确定出合适小区之后,终端可以通过该合适的小区执行RRC重建,从而实现终端接入该合适的小区,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,以及确保终端能继续开展业务。
下面本申请将对终端如何执行小区选择流程以确定合适的小区,并根据合适的小区的系统消息确定可用的中继进行具体说明。
在一个可能的示例中,终端执行小区选择流程以确定合适的小区,并根据合适的小区的系统消息确定可用的中继,可以包括以下操作:终端扫描所支持的一个或者多个频点;终端测量所支持的频点上小区的RSRP,并将频点上RSRP最强的合适小区作为小区选择的目标小区;终端获取该合适小区(即目标小区)的系统消息;终端通过该系统消息确定可用的中继;其中,系统消息携带支持中继接入的配置信息。
需要说明的是,终端可以通过合适小区的系统消息中的配置信息获取支持中继接入的配置信息。此时,终端可以执行中继发现和/或中继探测流程以发现接入该小区的至少一个可用的中继,然后选择其中一个中继进行RRC重建,从而实现接入该可用的中继所接入的小区,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,以及保证终端能继续开展业务。
具体的,如果终端没有确定出可用的中继,则终端可以通过该合适的小区执行RRC重建。
综上所述,本申请实施例中的可用的中继可以包括由中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程确定出的可用的中继、由网络配置的至少一个候选中继中确定的可用的中继、由合适的小区的系统消息确定出可用的中继。因此,当同时存在上述情况时,本申请实施例可以将RSRP最强对应的中继作为可用的中继。
通过上述描述可知,在“场景二”中,终端可能在切换到配置的候选中继的过程中探测到切换失败。因此,在该情况下,下面本申请实施例再对终端如何确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区作一个示例说明。
在一个可能的示例中,若终端探测到的切换失败为终端在切换到第一候选中继的过程中的切换失败,第一候选中继为网络配置的至少一个候选中继中的一个,则终端确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区,可以包括以下操作:终端从网络配置的至少一个候选中继中除第一候选中继的其他中继中确定可用的中继;和/或,终端执行中继发现流程和/或中继探测流程以确定可用的中继;和/或,终端执行小区选择流程以确定合适的小区;和/或,终端执行小区选择流程以确定合适的小区,并根据合适的小区的系统消息确定可用的中继。
需要说明的是,本示例与上述描述终端确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区的示例的区别仅在终端在切换到第一候选中继的过程中失败,则存在一种终端需要从网络配置的至少一个候选中继中除第一候选中继的其他中继中确定可用的中继的方式,而其他确认可用的中继和/或合适的小区的方式与上述示例一致。本领域技术人员通过上述示例的描述可以获知本示例下的具体实施方式,在此不再赘述。
S420、终端通过该可用的中继和/或该合适的小区执行无线资源控制RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区。
其中,第一小区可以包括该可用的中继所接入的小区或者该合适的小区。
需要说明的是,通过上述的描述可知,终端可以只确定出可用的中继,可以只确定出合适的小区,也可以都确定出可用的中继和合适的小区。此时,当可用的中继是由终端从网络配置的至少一个候选中继中确定,则终端可以通过切换流程直接接入该可用的中继,进而接入该中继所接入的小区,即第一小区。除此之外,终端需要通过RRC重建流程实现接入可用的中继所接入的小区,或者通过RRC重建流程接入合适的小区。最终,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,减少恢复RRC连接过程中的时延,提升终端恢复RRC连接的几率,实现终端能继续开展业务。
进一步的需要说明的是,当终端都确定出可用的中继和合适的小区时,终端可以通过可用的中继的RSRP和合适的小区的RSRP来判断是接入可用的中继(进而通过可用的中继接入中继所接入的小区)还是接入合适的小区。下面进行具体说明。
在一个可能的示例中,终端通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区执行无线资源控制RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区,可以包括以下操作:若终端确定出可用的中继和合适的小区,则终端获取可用的中继的RSRP和合适的小区的RSRP;终端确定可用的中继的RSRP和合适的小区的RSRP中最强的RSRP对应的中继或小区;终端根据最强的RSRP对应的中继或小区执行RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区。
需要说明的是,在终端确定出可用的中继和合适的小区时,终端可以对可用的中继的RSRP和合适的小区的RSRP进行排序,并选择最强的RSRP。如果最强的RSRP是可用的中继,则终端通过该可用的中继执行RRC重建或者切换流程以接入该可用的中继所接入的小区;如果最强的RSRP是合适的小区,则终端通过该合适的小区执行RRC重建或切换流程以接入该合适的小区。
进一步需要说明的是,由于本申请实施例进一步考虑到中继发送的信号和小区的发送信号之间可能存在差异,比如发送的信号功率或发送的信号质量之间存在差异,因此本申请实施例可以采用附加相应的偏移量(offset)的方式。具体描述如下:
具体的,在从可用的中继的RSRP和合适的小区的RSRP中确定最强的RSRP时,可以针对可用的中继的RSRP和合适的小区的RSRP附加相应的偏移量。
其中,偏移量可以不同。例如,可用的中继的RSRP附加相应的偏移量后可以表示为RSRP(Relay)+offset_1,而合适的小区的RSRP附加相应的偏移量后可以表示为RSRP(Cell)+offset_2,然后用附加偏移量的结果进行比较。
进一步的,偏移量可以由标准协议规定,可以由网络配置,也可以是预配置的。
进一步的,偏移量可以取正值,可以取负值,也可以取0。
在一个可能的示例中,终端通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区执行无线资源控制RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区,可以包括以下操作:终端优先通过可用的中继执行切换流程以接入第一小区;或者,终端优先通过可用的中继执行RRC重建以接入至第一小区;或者,终端优先通过合适的小区执行RRC重建以接入第一小区;或者,终端通过可用的中继的RSRP和合适的小区的RSRP中最强的RSRP对应的中继或小区执行RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区。
可以理解的是,在终端如何通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区执行RRC重建或者切换流程,实现终端恢复RRC连接的过程中,本申请实施例考虑优先执行的策略(如优先通过可用的中继执行RRC重建)或者判断最强RSRP的策略,从而有利于提高整个无线通信系统的灵活性。同时,通过不同的恢复RRC连接的实现方式,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,减少恢复RRC连接过程中的时延,以及提升终端恢复RRC连接的几率。
另外,由于可用的中继可以为网络配置的至少一个候选中继中的一个候选中继,因此在S420之前,终端可以通过该候选中继相应的配置执行切换,具体描述如下:
在一个可能的示例中,在终端通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区执行无线资源控制RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区之前,还包括以下操作:若可用的中继为第二候选中继,则终端通过第二候选中继相应的配置执行切换以接入第二候选中继;其中,第二候选中继为网络配置的至少一个候选中继中的一个。
进一步的,在终端通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区执行无线资源控制RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区之前,还包括以下操作:若终端在切换到第二候选中继过程中失败,则终端从至少一个候选中继中除第二候选中继的其他中继中确定可用的中继。
可以看出,本申请实施例中,在终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败时,终端通过确定可用的中继和/或合适的小区;然后,终端通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区执行RRC重建或者切换流程以接入第一小区。由于在终端探测到无线链路失败或者切换失败时,终端很容易因为发现不到合适的小区,而导致终端进入空闲态,以及无法继续开展业务,因此本申请通过可用的中继和/或合适的小区来执行RRC重建或者切换流程,从而实现终端接入可用的中继所接入的小区或者接入合适的小区,减少恢复RRC连接过程中的时延,保证终端尽快恢复RRC连接或数据通信,提升终端恢复RRC连接的几率, 以及确保终端继续开展业务。
上述主要从方法侧的角度对本申请实施例的方案进行了介绍。可以理解的是,终端为了实现上述功能,其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和/或软件模块。本领域技术人员应该很容易意识到,结合本文中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法步骤,本申请能够以硬件或硬件与计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件或计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。本领域技术人员可以对每个特定的应用使用不同方法来实现所描述的功能,但是这种实现不应认为超出本申请的范围。
本申请实施例可以根据上述方法示例对终端进行功能单元的划分。例如,可以对应各个功能划分各个功能单元,也可以将两个或两个以上的功能集成在一个处理单元中。上述集成的单元既可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件程序模块的形式实现。需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对单元的划分是示意性的,只是一种逻辑功能划分,而实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式。
