Description

由用户设备执行的方法及用户设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,更具体地,本发明涉及由用户设备执行的方法以及相应的用户设备。
背景技术
随着移动通信的快速增长和技术的巨大进步,世界将走向一个完全互联互通的网络社会,即任何人或任何东西在任何时间和任何地方都可以获得信息和共享数据。为了增强移动宽带业务需求、海量物联网终端的通信需求,新一代通信技术(5G)将研究用户在双连接以至多连接下的技术增强(RP-181469New WID on DC and CA enhancements)。
双连接或者多连接,是指二工作在连接态的UE与多于一个网络节点建立物理上的建立无线通路,并实现数据传输。其中,包括主控制节点(Master Node,MN)与辅助控制节点(Secondary Node,SN)。MN由一个Gnb/Enb/ng-eNB来执行,由MN控制的服务小区组称为主小区组(Master Cell Group,MCG)。相应地,SN由一个或多个Gnb/Enb/ng-eNB来执行,由SN控制的服务小区组称为辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group,SCG)。
被配置了双连接或者多连接的UE可以通过和MCG以及和SCG进行通信,实现较高的数据速率。然而,相应地,为了维护和两个网络节点之间的通信,UE的功耗也成倍的增加。为了节约UE的功耗,可以在适当的情况下,例如当UE的通信流量较小的情况下,去激活(deactivate)SCG。
对于处于去激活状态的SCG,如何进行配置管理,是需要解决的问题。
发明内容
本发明针对以下问题提出了解决方案,即,针对处于去激活状态的SCG如何进行配置管理提出了解决方案。
本发明的目的在于,提供一种能够合理地对处于去激活状态的SCG进行配置管理的由用户设备执行的方法以及相应的用户设备。
根据本发明的一个方面,提供了一种由用户设备执行的方法,是被配置了双连接或者多连接的用户设备UE在与主小区组MCG以及辅小区组SCG进行通信的过程中对于处于去激活状态的SCG的配置管理方法,包括如下步骤:

UE根据目标SCG或者目标PSCell的状态的不同而进行不同的PSCell变更操作。
在上述的由用户设备执行的方法中,优选的是,
在该重配置信息中,如果指示了目标PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态为激活态时,那么UE开启定时器T304,并且当UE在目标PSCell上执行的随机接入过程成功完成时,停止定时器T304;
在该重配置信息中,如果指示了目标PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态为去激活态时,那么UE不开启定时器T304;
如果源SCG处于激活态,那么UE开启定时器T304;

以下,对本发明所涉及的具体实施例进行详细说明。另外,如上所述,本发明中的实施例是为了容易理解本发明而进行的示例性说明,并不是对本发明的限定。
【实施例1】
本实施例给出了一种被配置了双连接或者多连接的UE在与MCG以及SCG进行通信的过程中对处于去激活状态的SCG的配置管理方法,如图1所示,包括:
步骤S101:UE接收基站(例如gNB)发送给UE的RRC连接重配置消息。
在发送给UE的RRC连接重配置信息中,携带着用于SCG的spCellConfig(专有小区配置),以及同步指示(reconfiguration WithSync)。对应于这个spCellConfig的SCG可以称为目标SCG,它的PSCell可以被称为目标PSCell。相应地,在接收该重配置消息之前的、为UE服务的SCG/PSCell可以被称为源SCG/源PSCell。
步骤S102:UE根据目标SCG或者目标PSCell的状态的不同而进行不同PSCell change操作。
具体可以包括
在该重配置信息中,如果指示了更换的目标PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态为激活态时,那么UE可以开启(start)定时器T304。并且当UE 在目标PSCell上执行的随机接入过程成功完成时,停止定时器T304。优选的,在该配置消息中可以不指示目标PSCell或者目标SCG的状态,在这种情况下,规定PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态为激活态。
在该重配置信息中,如果指示了更换的目标PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态为去激活态时,那么UE不开启定时器T304,以及可选的,不在目标PSCell上执行随机接入过程。
上述实施例的又一种实施方式可以是
UE接收RRC重配置消息。
如果该重配置消息携带着用于SCG的spCellConfig,以及同步指示(reconfiguration WithSync),且该SCG处于激活态,那么启动开启(start)定时器T304。并且当UE在目标PSCell上执行的随机接入过程成功完成时,停止定时器T304。
如果该重配置消息携带着用于SCG的spCellConfig,以及同步指示(reconfigurationWithSync),且该SCG处于去激活态,那么UE可以不启动T304,以及可选的,不在目标PSCell上执行随机接入过程。
【实施例2】
UE接收gNB发送给UE的RRC连接重配置消息。
在发送给UE的RRC连接重配置信息中,携带着用于SCG的spCellConfig,以及同步指示(reconfiguration WithSync)。对应于这个spCellConfig的SCG可以称为目标SCG,它的PSCell可以被称为目标PSCell。相应地,在接收该重配置消息之前的、为UE服务的SCG/PSCell可以被称为源SCG/源PSCell。
UE基于该同步指示将执行同步重配置(perform reconfiguration of sync),从而实现从源PSCell到目标PSCell的PSCell变更(PSCell change)或者SCG切换(switch/handover)。UE根据目标SCG或者目标PSCell的状态的不同而进行不同PSCell change操作。
例如:
在UE执行同步的重配置之后,如果目标SCG或者目标PSCell是处于激活态,那么UE恢复SCG传输(resume SCG transmission),
在UE执行同步的重配置之后,如果目标SCG或者目标PSCell是 处于去激活态,那么UE不恢复SCG传输。
又例如:
UE在接收到携带着同步指示(reconfiguration WithSync)的、用于SCG的spCellConfig的RRC重配置消息后,可以触发在目标PSCell上执行随机接入过程。当随机接入过程成功完成时:
如果目标SCG或者目标PSCell是处于激活态,UE采用CSI reporting的配置(apply CSI reporting configuration);
如果目标SCG或者目标PSCell是处于去激活态,那么UE不采用CSI reporting的配置(apply CSI reporting configuration)。
又例如:
UE在接收到携带着同步指示(reconfiguration WithSync)的、用于SCG的spCellConfig的RRC重配置消息后,可以触发在目标PSCell上执行随机接入过程。当随机接入过程成功完成时:
如果目标SCG或者目标PSCell处于去激活态,那么UE去激活该SCG,具体包括执行去激活SCG的操作。
相应地,如果目标SCG或者目标PSCell是处于激活态,那么UE不执行去激活的操作。
上述操作中目标SCG或者目标PSCell所处的状态可以是在UE接收到的RRC连接重配置消息中指示,例如:
在该重配置信息中,指示了更换的目标PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态为去激活态,那么可以获知目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于去激活态;
又例如:该重配置信息中,指示了更换的目标PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态为激活态,那么可以获知目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态;特别地,在该重配置信息中,还可以不指示更换的目标PSCell或者是目标SCG的状态,那么在这种情况下可以认为目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态。
上述目标SCG或者目标PSCell所处的状态还可以是根据源SCG或者源PSCell的状态获知,例如:
如果源SCG或者源PSCell的状态为激活态,那么可以获知目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态;
如果源SCG或者源PSCell的状态为去激活态,那么可以获知目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于去激活态。
可选的,UE还可以根据源SCG或者源PSCell的状态以及重配置信息中的指示来获知标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态,例如
如果源SCG或者源PSCell的状态为激活态,以及在重配置信息中的指示信息指示目标SCG获知目标PSCell处于激活态;那么可以获知目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态;
特别地,如果源SCG或者源PSCell的状态为激活态,以及重配置信息中的不包含指示信息指示目标SCG或者目标PSCell的状态,那么可以获知目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态
如果源SCG或者源PSCell的状态为激活态,以及在重配置信息中的指示信息指示目标SCG获知目标PSCell处于去激活态;那么可以定义这种情况下,目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态,或者是定义这种情况下目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于去激活态;
如果源SCG或者源PSCell的状态为去激活态,以及在重配置信息中的指示信息指示目标SCG获知目标PSCell处于去激活态;那么可以获知目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于去激活态;
如果源SCG或者源PSCell的状态为去激活态,以及重配置信息中的不包含指示信息指示目标SCG或者目标PSCell的状态,那么可以定义这种情况下,目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于激活态,或者是定义这种情况下目标SCG或者目标Psell是处于去激活态。
【实施例3】
UE接收gNB发送给UE的RRC连接重配置消息。
在该RRC重配置信息中,携带了用于SCG的小区组配置(CellGroupConfig)
UE为该SCG执行小区组的配置.
当上述的CellGroupConfig中包含(contain/include)了spCellConfig,UE对spcell进行配置,对于一个SCG,spell指的是pscell。
当上述spCellConfig中包含了spcell的专有配置(spcell dedicated configuraiton),那么UE根据该spcell专有配置对Spcell进行配置。
在spell的专有配置中配置了first active downlink BWP-ID以及first active uplink BWP-ID。
如果该SCG或者PSCell状态为激活态,那么UE认为first active downlink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的下行BWP,以及认为在first active uplink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的上行BWP;
如果该SCG或者PSCell的状态为去激活态,那么UE不执行上述操作,即UE不认为first active downlink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的下行BWP,以及不认为在f first active uplink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的上行BWP。
这里的SCG或者PSCell是指采用了前述RRC重配置消息中携带的小区组配置信息进行配置的SCG或者PSCell。
该SCG或者PSCell的状态的确定,可以如实施例2中所述在UE接收到的RRC连接重配置消息中指示或者是根据源SCG或者源PSCell的状态获知,又或者是两者的结合来确定;还可以是由该SCG或者PSCell的工作状态来确定,即该SCG/PSCell在接收到所述RRC重配置消息时处于去激活状态时,可以获知该SCG/PSCell处于去激活状态;该SCG/PSCell在接收到所述RRC重配置消息时处于激活状态时,可以获知该SCG/PSCell处于激活状态。
本实施例中的RRC连接重配置消息还可以携带了实施例1中提到的用于SCG的spCellConfig,以及同步指示(reconfiguration WithSync),在这种情况下,前面提到的spcell的专有配置(spcell dedicated configuraiton)可以包含在用于SCG的spCellConfig中,并且应用于目标SCG或者目标Pscell的配置。
本实施例中的RRC连接重配置消息可以携带spcell的专有配置,但是不携带同步指示,在这种情况下,这里携带的spcell的专有配置不用于目标SCG,而是应用于下述SCG:
情况一,UE在接收该重配置消息之前,没有被配置SCG,那么这里携带的spcell的专有配置应用于为UE增加(addtition)的SCG;
情况二,UE在接收该重配置消息之前,已经被配置了SCG,或者 已经存在SCG的配置,那么这里携带的spcell的专有配置应用于当前为UE服务的SCG,或者应用于UE已有的SCG。
【实施例4】
在实施例3的基础上,当所述的、处于去激活态的SCG被激活时,UE在所述的PSCell中执行随机接入过程。
当随机接入过程成功完成时,UE认为first active downlink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的下行BWP,以及认为在first active uplink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的上行BWP。
这里SCG的激活方式可以是接收到SCG激活命令。SCG激活命令可以是一个RRC重配置消息(RRC reconfiguration Message)。SCG激活命令还可以是一个MAC CE,例如SCG激活MAC CE。当UE接收到该MAC CE时,UE向上层例如RRC层,指示SCG被激活,或是属于该SCG的PSCell被激活。SCG激活命令还可以是携带在下行控制信息(DCI)中。
在接收到SCG被激活的指示或者SCG被激活的命令时,RRC层执行激活操作。激活操作中可以包括在在所述的PSCell中执行随机接入过程。以及当随机接入过程成功完成时,UE认为first active downlink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的下行BWP,以及认为在first active uplink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的上行BWP。优选的,当该SCG的配置信息中存在spcell的专有配置,那么UE认为first active downlink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的下行BWP,以及认为在first active uplink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的上行BWP。
特别地,当与该被激活的SCG相关联的时间提前定时器还在运行时,UE可以不执行在PSCell的随机接入过程。那么可以认为UE在接收到SCG被激活的指示或者SCG被激活的命令时,当该SCG的配置信息中存在spcell的专有配置,那么UE认为first active downlink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的下行BWP,以及认为在first active uplink BWP-ID指示的BWP为激活的上行BWP。
【实施例5】
UE接收gNB发送给UE的RRC连接重配置消息。在该RRC重配置信息中,携带了无线承载配置(radioBearerConfig)
UE执行无线承载配置(perform the radio bearer configuration).
当上述的radioBearerConfig中包含(contain/include)了drb-ToAddModList,UE执行数据承载(DRB)的添加(addition)或者重配置(reconfiguration)操作。
对于在drb-ToAddModList中包含的DRB-Identity的取值,如果该取值不属于UE当前的配置,即当前UE被配置的DRB中不存在对应于该DRB-identity取值的DRB,那么UE为该DRB建立一个PDCP实体,以及通知上层该DRB的建立。如果该DRB的PDCP实体位于SCG,并且该SCG处于去激活状态,那么挂起或者暂停(suspend)该DRB。
这里SCG处于去激活状态的确定方法如实施例3所述。
【实施例6】

-可以在该服务小区上传输SRS(transmit SRS on the SCell);
-可以为该服务小区进行CSI报告(report CSI for the SCell);
-如果该服务小区被配置了上行信道,那么可以在该服务小区的上行信道上进行传输(transmit on UL-SCH on the SCell);
