其中,适配层位于中继UE和基站的LTE/新空口(new radio,NR)中,适配层的目的是在RRC消息传输或数据传输过程中,携带远端UE的标识和远端UE的信令无线承载(signalling radio bearers,SRB)/数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)标识,或者,携带远端UE的标识、中继UE和远端UE之间的SL/PC5接口标识。
可能的实现方式中,核心网(core network,CN)的用户面无线协议栈中包括IP层、GTP-U层、UDP/IP层以及L1/L2。
可能的实现方式中,远端UE和中继UE之间通过PC5接口进行通信,中继UE和基站之间通过Uu口进行通信,Uu口可用于上行链路和下行链路;基站和CN之间通过S1-U/S5/S8口通信,具体地,S1-U/S5/S8口可以用于CN与远端UE长距离通信。
示例性的,图4为本申请实施例提供的一种L2演进型U2N中继控制面无线协议栈(control plane radio protocol stack for layer 2 evolved U2N relay)的示意图,如图4所示,PDCP层和RRC层对于中继UE透传,远端UE可以通过中继UE的辅助和基站建立RRC连接。
可能的实现方式中,远端UE的控制面无线协议栈中包括非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)、RRC层、PDCP层、RLC层、MAC层以及PHY层。
可能的实现方式中,L2中继UE的控制面无线协议栈中包括RLC层、MAC层、PHY层以及适配层。
其中,适配层位于中继UE和基站的LTE/新空口(new radio,NR)中,适配层的目的是在RRC消息传输或数据传输过程中,携带远端UE的标识和远端UE的信令无线承载(signalling radio bearers,SRB)/数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)标识,或者,携带远端UE的标识、中继UE和远端UE之间的SL/PC5接口标识。

可能的实现方式中,核心网(core network,CN)的控制面无线协议栈中包括NAS层、S1-AP层、SCTP层、IP层以及L1/L2。
可能的实现方式中,远端UE和中继UE之间通过PC5接口进行通信,中继UE和基站之间通过Uu口进行通信,Uu口可用于上行链路和下行链路;基站和CN之间通过S1-MME口通信,S1-MME口用于传送会话管理(session management,SM)和移动性管理(mobility management,MM)信息。
随着通信技术的逐渐完善发展,第五代移动通信新空口(5th generation new radio,5G NR)技术在3GPP标准上引入D2D通信和UE间的协作通信。除了用于公共安全外,5G NR技术中的D2D通信和UE间的协作通信考虑的是对网络系统性能的提升,其中,网络系统性能可以包括网络覆盖和容量。
示例性的,图5为本申请实施例提供的一种U2N中继场景的示意图,如图5所示,该场景中可以包括基站、中继UE和远端UE。其中,基站和中继UE可以采用上述任意可能的方式通信,中继UE和远端UE可以通过侧行链路(sidelink,SL)等通信。
在上行场景中,在远端UE需要向基站发送数据时,远端UE可以将数据发送给 中继UE,中继UE将从远端UE接收的数据转发给基站。
在下行场景中,在基站需要向远端UE发送数据时,基站可以将数据发送给中继UE,中继UE将从基站接收的数据转发给远端UE。
可以理解的是,即使远端UE不在基站的网络覆盖范围内,由于中继UE的协作通信,基站的网络覆盖范围可以扩展到远端UE的区域,从而提升了网络覆盖。
可能的情况中,在远端UE处于IDLE态或INACTIVE态时,远端UE与基站之间的连接断开,基站有数据或者语音要发送给远端UE,基站可以通过寻呼消息来找到远端UE,远端UE收到寻呼消息后,远端UE可以通过中继UE的辅助与基站建立连接,从而进行数据传输或者语音传输;或者,远端UE收到寻呼消息后,远端UE可以基于寻呼消息触发初始连接建立。
在U2N L2中继的通信场景中,基站通过Uu口寻呼的方式可以包括:CN寻呼(CN paging)和无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)寻呼。
一种可能的方式中,在UE处于IDLE态的情况下,CN向UE发起的寻呼为CN寻呼,CN寻呼是基于跟踪区(tracking area,TA)来执行寻呼过程。
示例性的,CN寻呼是由接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元发起的,AMF网元发送寻呼消息给UE的跟踪区标识(tracking area identity,TAI)列表(list)中所包含的基站,基站在TAI列表找到与自己相关的小区内广播寻呼消息,监听到寻呼消息的UE会查看是否含有自己的标识(identity,ID),如果有自己的ID,UE会发起RRC建立请求和基站进行连接;如果没有自己的ID,UE会忽略这个寻呼请求。
另一种可能的方式中,在UE处于INACTIVE态的情况下,基站侧发起的寻呼,称为RAN寻呼,RAN寻呼是基于RAN来执行寻呼过程的。
示例性的,RAN寻呼是由UE从CONNECTED态进入INACTIVE态之前的最后服务基站发起的,UE进入到INACTIVE态在AMF网元侧不感知;在AMF网元侧,UE还处于CONNECTED态,UE会继续发数据给最后服务基站,最后服务基站找不到UE,最后服务基站会对UE所在的无线接入网区域码(radio access network area code,RANAC)列表内的基站发送寻呼消息,基站在RAN寻呼区域(RAN paging area)找到与自己相关的小区内广播寻呼消息,监听到寻呼消息的UE会查看其中是否含有自己的ID,如果有自己的ID,UE会发起RRC建立请求和基站进行连接;如果没有自己的ID,UE会忽略这个寻呼请求。
本申请实施例中,在时域上的Uu技术上的寻呼可以理解为:处于IDEL态或INACTIVE态的UE会选择在合适的时间段内“醒来”接收寻呼消息。其中,寻呼消息所占的频域资源是由寻呼无线网络临时标识符(paging radio network tempory identity,P-RNTI)加扰的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)指定的。
在时域上,UE是在寻呼周期的寻呼帧(paging frame,PF)的寻呼时机(paging occasion,POs)上尝试接收寻呼消息。UE在其他时间段保持“休眠”状态,从而降低UE的功耗,延长UE电池的使用时间。而基站需要在该时刻将寻呼消息从空口上发出,这样UE才可能在这个时刻接收到寻呼消息。
示例性的,表1为各参数的名称以及各参数所描述的内容,如表1所示,系统帧号(system frame number,SFN)表示数据发送所在的当前帧号;T为非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)周期,T可以为具体DRX(specific DRX,或者称为寻呼周期(paging cycle))与默认DRX(default DRX)之间的最小值,UE没有配置具体DRX,UE可以使用默认DRX;N为T中包含的PF数,Ns为每个PF中包含的POs数,PF_offset为PF的偏移量,UE_ID为5G临时移动台标识(5G s-temporary mobile subscriber identity,5G-S-TMSI)与1024求余运算后的结果。
表1
参数 描述
SFN 系统帧号
T DRX周期,min(具体DRX,默认DRX)
N T中包含的PF数
Ns 每个PF中包含的POs数
PF_offset PF的偏移量
UE_ID 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024
可能的方式中,PF是系统帧,PF满足下述公式:
(SFN+PF_offset)mod T=(T div N)*(UE_ID mod N);
可能的方式中,POs是通过索引i_s指示的,i_s满足下述公式:
i_s=floor(UE_ID/N)mod Ns;
其中,mod表示求余运算,div表示整除运算。
可能的方式中,对于CN寻呼,具体DRX可以由NAS信令配置,默认DRX可以由系统信息块1(system information block type1,SIB1)的信元(information element,IE)来配置,该IE是寻呼控制信道(paging control channel,PCCH)配置里的默认寻呼DRX(default paging DRX)。
可能的方式中,对于RAN寻呼,具体DRX可以由RRC释放(RRC release)信令配置。
可以理解的是,基站知晓UE的ID,UE知道自己所在的服务小区的DRX周期、N、Ns、PF_offset,这样,基站和UE都可以知道PF/POs,从而基站可以在PF/POs上广播寻呼消息,UE可以在PF/POs上监听寻呼消息。
可能的方式中,中继UE可以在远端UE的PF的POs上监听寻呼消息,示例性的,图6为本申请实施例提供的一种中继UE监听寻呼消息的流程示意图。
S601:移动管理实体(mobile managenment entity,MME)通过S1AP接口向基站发送远端UE的寻呼消息。
S602:基站通过远端UE的PF/POs在空口广播远端UE的寻呼消息。
S603:中继UE在远端UE的PF/POs上监听远端UE的寻呼消息,若确定远端UE被寻呼,则通过PC5口向远端UE发送寻呼消息。
本申请实施例中,中继UE接收到基站发送的寻呼消息,远端UE向中继UE告知自己的ID,中继UE知道远端UE的PF/POs,从而中继UE可以在远端UE的PF/POs上监听远端UE的寻呼消息,中继UE解码寻呼消息并识别远端UE的ID,中继UE和远端UE建立短距离链路上的寻呼通道,中继UE利用寻呼通道通过PC5口把寻呼 消息转发给远端UE。
可能的方式中,中继UE可以在自己的PF的POs上监控寻呼消息,示例性的,图7为本申请实施例提供的一种中继UE监听寻呼消息的流程示意图。
S701:MME通过S1AP接口向基站发送远端UE的寻呼消息。
S702:基站通过中继UE的PF/POs在空口广播远端UE的寻呼消息。
S703:中继UE在自己PF/POs上监听远端UE的寻呼消息,若确定远端UE被寻呼,则通过PC5口向远端UE发送寻呼消息。
可能的方式中,中继UE接收到基站发送的寻呼消息,远端UE向中继UE告知自己的ID,CN知道远端UE和中继UE的连接关系,CN告知基站在中继UE的PF/POs上广播远端UE的寻呼消息,从而中继UE可以在自己的PF/POs上监听远端UE的寻呼消息,中继UE解码寻呼消息并识别远端UE的ID,中继UE和远端UE建立短距离链路上的寻呼通道,中继UE利用寻呼通道通过PC5口把寻呼消息转发给远端UE。
本申请实施例中,在频域上的Uu技术的寻呼可以理解为:基站在初始带宽部分(initial bandwidth part,初始BWP)上广播寻呼消息以及短消息(short message),在其他专用的BWP(例如,激活BWP(active BWP))上广播短消息。
例如,处于IDLE态或INACTIVE态的UE被激活了初始BWP,基站可以在初始BWP上广播寻呼消息,UE可以在初始BWP上监听寻呼消息以及短消息,保证处于IDLE态或INACTIVE态的UE被正确寻呼。处于CONNECTED态的UE被激活了其他专用的带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP),UE可以监听短消息,不能监听寻呼消息。
可能的情况中,在中继UE辅助远端UE与基站建立连接的过程中,处于CONNECTED的中继UE被激活了激活BWP,激活BWP的频域范围与初始BWP的频域范围不同,使得中继UE不能监听远端UE的寻呼消息。
示例性的,图8为本申请实施例提供的一种初始BWP与激活BWP频域范围的示意图,如图8所示,基站(gNB)在初始BWP上广播寻呼消息,处于CONNECTED的中继UE被激活了激活BWP,初始BWP和激活BWP的频域范围不同,使得处于CONNECTED态的中继UE不能监听寻呼消息,无法满足为远端UE监听寻呼消息的需求。
中继UE在PF/POs上监听远端UE的寻呼消息的方式用于解决时域上的寻呼问题,不能解决频域上的寻呼问题;基站在初始BWP上广播寻呼消息,导致处于IDLE态或者INACTIVE态的中继UE才能监听远端UE的寻呼消息,处于CONNECTED态的中继UE不能监听远端UE的寻呼消息。
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法和装置,第一网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一通信资源的配置信息,第一终端设备可以根据接收的配置信息配置第一通信资源,第一终端设备可以监听第一网络设备在第一通信资源广播的寻呼消息,使得处于连接态的第一终端设备可以为第二终端设备监听寻呼消息,从而第二终端设备可以和第一网络设备建立通信连接。
本申请实施例的方法可以应用于5G NR的U2N中继通信场景,也可以应用于LTE U2N中继通信场景;或者,可以应用于一个设备为另一个设备提供服务的通信场景中。
本申请实施例所描述第一网络设备可以为连接演进分组核心网(evolved packet core,EPC)或者5G核心网(5G generation core,NGC)的接入网设备。例如,第一网络设备可以为eNB、gNB或eLTE eNB。
本申请实施例所描述的第一终端设备可以是移动电话、平板电脑、便携式笔记本电脑、虚拟\混合\增强现实设备、导航设备、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有卫星通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,5G网络中的终端设备、未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)或未来的其他通信系统中的终端设备等。
