Description

一种数据传输方法及装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种数据传输方法及装置。
背景技术
随着通信技术的快速发展,多播广播服务(multicast and broadcast service,MBS)越来越受欢迎,多播广播服务可以提供多种多播广播业务(简称为MBS业务,例如直播业务、公共安全业务、批量软件更新业务等)。
目前,核心网设备从MBS业务服务器获取MBS业务数据之后,会通过MBS会话将MBS业务数据发送至基站,然后基站通过无线承载将MBS业务数据发送至用户设备(user equipment,UE)。
在MBS业务数据的传输过程中,当UE发生移动,该UE从源基站切换至目标基站时,由于不同基站传输MBS业务的进度可能不同,所以按照传统的切换方式无法保证UE在切换过程中的业务连续性,即导致UE在切换过程中数据包丢失。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种数据传输方法及装置,能够减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失。
为达到上述目的,本申请实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种数据传输方法,包括:第一接入网设备接收第一指示信息,并且第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系;以及第一接入网设备按照第一映射关系传输来自第一会话的数据包。
本申请实施例中,第一接入网设备按照核心网设备的指示确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系,并按照第一映射关系传输数据包,能够减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失,从而为用户设备提供更好的通信服务。
一种可能的实现方式中,上述第一映射关系为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,或者第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射。
一种可能的实现方式中,上述按照第一映射关系传输来自第一会话的数据包具体包括:第一映射关系为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,第一接入网设备根据数据包的QFI序列号设置数据包的PDCP序列号,并且发送数据包;第一映射关系为第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射,第一接入网设备根据数据包的GTP-U序列号设置数据的PDCP序列号,并且发送数据包。
本申请实施例中,核心网设备获取到某一业务的数据包之后,核心网设备为每一个数据包添加核心网序列号,如GTP-U序列号,另外也可以为每一个数据包添加QFI序列号,核心网设备可以为每一个数据包设置GTP-U序列号和/或QFI序列号;进而核心网设备将数据包发送至接入网设备,接入网设备接收数据包,并且建立会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射,即需要将QoS流的数据包通过映射的无线承载进行传输,这里 假设无线承载与PDCP一一对应,所以用PDCP指代无线承载。接入网设备去掉包含GTP-U序列号和/或QFI序列号的包头以后,将数据包传输到PDCP实体,并且由接入网设备的PDCP实体为数据包设置PDCP序列号,然后基于对应的无线承载将数据包在各个协议层实体处理以后发送至用户设备。
应理解,用户设备的源接入网设备与目标接入网设备均按照该方法设置数据包的PDCP序列号。当用户设备从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,由于第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备对相同的QoS流中的相同的数据包设置的PDCP序列号是相同的,而且QoS流到无线承载的映射关系也是相同的,因此,UE在不同的接入网设备之间切换时,可以根据PDCP序列号确定接入网设备传输数据包的进度,并且可以通过data forwarding技术或者data buffering技术减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失。
同理,当用户设备从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,由于第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备对同一会话的相同的数据包设置的PDCP序列号是相同的,而且QoS流到无线承载的映射关系也是相同的,因此,UE在不同的接入网设备之间切换时,可以根据PDCP序列号确定接入网设备传输数据包的进度,并且可以通过data forwarding技术或者data buffering技术减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失。
一种可能的实现方式中,上述第一映射关系为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号等于数据包的QFI序列号,或者,数据包的PDCP序列号与数据包的QFI序列号的差值为固定值。或者,第一映射关系为第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射,来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号等于数据包的GTP-U序列号,或者,数据包的PDCP序列号与数据包的GTP-U序列号的差值为固定值。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一映射关系为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,且来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号的最大长度小于数据包的QFI序列号的长度,数据包的PDCP序列号满足:A=(B)mod(X),其中,其中,A表示数据包的PDCP序列号,B表示数据包的QFI序列号,X表示PDCP序列号的最大值,mod表示取模运算。或者,第一映射关系为第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射,且来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号的最大长度小于数据包的GTP-U序列号的长度,数据包的PDCP序列号满足:A=(C)mod(X),其中,A表示数据包的PDCP序列号,C表示数据包的GTP-U序列号,X表示PDCP序列号的最大值,mod表示取模运算。
通过上述方法设置数据包的PDCP序列号,可以保证根据QFI序列号设置的PDCP序列号不超过PDCP序列号的最大值;或者,保证根据GTP-U序列号设置的PDCP序列号不超过PDCP序列号的最大值。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系具体包括:第一指示信息指示第一映射关系。
可选地,上述第一指示信息为显式的指示信息,该第一指示信息中可以包括第一映射关系。或者,第一指示信息可以为一个索引,该索引指示第一映射关系,第一接入网设备根据该索引确定第一映射关系,索引与第一映射关系的对应关系可以由核心 网设备预先配置或者在协议中预定义。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系具体包括:第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包是否满足预设条件,如果数据包满足预设条件,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系,该第一指示信息包括QoS标识或QoS参数值。
可以理解的是,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包满足预设条件,则说明该第一会话的数据包所属的业务在接入网设备切换时需保证无损传输或高可靠性传输,换句话说,对于该业务,不同的接入网设备需要对该业务的相同数据包设置相同的PDCP序列号;另外,对于该业务接入网设备需要按照第一映射关系建立QoS流到无线承载的映射。
可选地,在第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包满足预设条件的情况下,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系的方式可以为两种方式,一种方式是第一指示信息中包括第一映射关系,则第一接入网设备可以从第一指示信息中获取第一映射关系;另一种方式是第一映射关系预先定义在协议中或者预先由核心网设备配置给接入网设备,当第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包满足预设条件,第一接入网设备根据协议的预先定义或者预先配置确定第一映射关系。
可选地,第一指示信息包括QoS标识或QoS参数值,该QoS标识或QoS参数值可以携带在第一会话建立请求消息中。
针对第一指示信息的内容,上述预设条件可以为QoS标识满足一定的条件或者或QoS参数值满足一定的条件,可选地,该预设条件可以通过核心网设备配置给基站或者预先定义协议中。
一种可能的实现方式中,上述QoS标识包括5QI;QoS参数值包括下述至少一种优先级、包时延预算或包误码率。
以QoS标识为上述5QI为例,上述预设条件可以为数据包的5QI等于预设值;以QoS参数值为优先级为例,上述预设条件可以为优先级大于或等于预设优先级;以QoS参数值为包误码率为例,上述预设条件还可以为数据包的包误码率低于预设门限值。
需要注意的是,这里预设条件中的大小关系仅为示例,并不做严格限定,例如预设条件是某一QoS参数大于、小于、等于、大于或等于或者小于或等于的情况均落入本实施例保护范围。
一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法还包括:第一接入网设备从核心网设备接收第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务为本地业务。

本申请实施例中,第二接入网设备根据第三指示信息确定来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务是本地业务,并且第一接入网设备所属的本地区域与第二接入网设备所属的本地区域是不同的本地区域(即第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备不属于相同业务的同一本地区域),第二接入网设备可以确定该业务是跨本地区域的业务,因此在用户设备切换过程中无需保证业务的连续性,即无需保证不丢包,则无需执行上述data forwarding的流程,那么第二接入网设备也无需为第一接入网设备分配用于data forwarding的转发隧道信息,并且第二接入网设备在切换请求确认消息中也无需配置PDCP状态报告,则用户设备在收到切换命令之后,也无需向第二接入网设备发送PDCP状态报告。

若核心网设备获取的数据包所属的业务是本地业务,并且不同的接入网设备不属于相同业务的同一本地区域,则核心网设备向不同的接入网设备发送相同的数据包时,无需限制相同的数据包的GTP-U序列号相同,和/或相同的数据包的QFI序列号相同。相同的数据包的GTP-U序列号可以相同也可以不同,和/或相同的数据包的QFI序列号可以相同,也可以不同。

在本申请实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是指两个或两个以上。例如,多个处理单元是指两个或两个以上的处理单元;多个系统是指两个或两个以上的系统。
首先对本申请实施例提供的一种数据传输的方法及装置中涉及的一些概念做解释说明。
多播广播服务业务(MBS业务):是面向多个UE的业务,常见的MBS业务包括直播业务、公共安全业务、批量软件更新业务等。参考图1,MBS业务的数据传输过程具体包括:核心网设备从MBS服务器(指产生MBS业务数据的服务器)获取MBS业务数据,然后核心网设备通过核心网设备与接入网设备(例如基站)之间建立的MBS会话向接入网设备发送MBS业务数据,进而接入网设备向多个UE发送同一MBS业务数据。
可选地,MBS业务数据传输方式(即接入网设备向多个UE发送MBS业务数据的方式)可以为点到多点(point to multi-point,PTM)的传输方式或者点到点(point to point,PTP)的传输方式。
可以理解的是,MBS业务可以分为本地MBS业务和非本地MBS业务。其中,非本地业务指的是在所有的区域内,MBS业务的内容相同;本地MBS业务指的是在本地的一定区域内有效的业务,对于业务标识相同的MBS业务(可以称为同一MBS业务),在不同的区域该MBS业务的内容可能不同,并且不同区域的MBS业务的业务数据可以由不同MBS服务器提供。例如某些V2X业务、公共安全业务为本地MBS业务。MBS业务的业务标识可以为临时多播组标识(temporary multicast group identifier,TMGI)。
示例性的,参考图2,对于具有相同业务标识(TMGI)的本地V2X业务,在本地区域1和本地区域2中所广播的内容是不同的,即对于相同业务标识的本地V2X业务,本地区域1的V2X业务对应的内容(图2中的content 1)与本地区域2的V2X业务对应的内容(图2中的content 2)不同。例如,当图2中的车辆从本地区域2向本地区域1行驶,当该车辆行驶至本地区域2,未进入本地区域1时,该车辆接收到的MBS业务的内容为content 2;当该车辆行驶至本地区域1和本地区域2的重合区域时,该车辆既可以接收到content 1,也可以接收到content 2;当该车辆行驶至本地区域1,且驶出了本地区域2时,该车辆接收到的MBS业务的内容为content 1。
无线接入网侧协议栈:无线接入网侧的UE与接入网设备具有协议栈,UE与接入网设备基于协议栈进行通信,协议栈包括控制面的协议栈和用户面的协议栈。
用户面的协议栈中,UE和接入网设备的协议栈的结构均包括无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层、业务数据适配(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层以及物 理层(PHY层)。其中,物理层位于最底层,属于层一;SDAP层、PDCP层、RLC层以及MAC层属于第二层(层二);RRC层输入第三层(层三)。
图3是用户面协议栈的结构示意图,需要说明的是,图3中仅示意出了用户面协议栈的层二和层一的结构,层三未示意。图3中的箭头所示的传输方向是MBS业务的数据传输方向,即接入网设备向UE发送数据的过程示意。
结合图3,在接入网设备侧,数据到达接入网设备的SDAP层,通过SDAP层完成业务的QoS流到无线承载的映射之后,数据传输至PDCP层并经过PDCP层的处理(例如包括头压缩、加密、完整性保护等)之后再依次传输至RLC层和MAC层,并在RLC层和MAC层进行相应的处理,进而数据从物理层(PHY层)发送出去,通过空口传输至UE侧,然后UE的各个协议层按照与接入网设备相反的处理顺序对数据依次进行相应的处理。
应理解,上述接入网设备和UE的各个协议层均对应有功能实体,并且每一个协议层对应一个或多个功能实体,如此,各个协议层的功能由各个协议层对应的功能实体实现,例如,PDCP层对应的功能实体为PDCP实体。
无线承载:接入网设备与UE进行通信时需要建立无线承载,进而基于无线承载传输消息或数据。参考图3,上述接入网设备与UE的各个协议层对数据包的处理结合起来可以称为无线承载,应理解,无线承载的划分是以PDCP实体进行划分的,具体的,一个无线承载中包含一个PDCP实体,例如PDCP层建立了2个PDCP实体,则对应2个无线承载。一个无线承载中可以包含至少一个RLC实体,一个RLC实体对应一个逻辑信道。
切换技术(handover):切换指的是在UE与接入网设备(例如基站)通信的过程中,由于UE的移动,源基站无法再为UE提供满足UE需求的服务,UE需断开与源基站的连接,然后建立与目标基站的连接,后续地,通过目标基站为UE提供服务,这一过程称为UE需从源基站切换至目标基站。
参考图4,UE从源基站切换至目标基站的过程包括步骤401至步骤409。
步骤401、源基站发送RRC重配置消息(RRCReconfigration)至连接态的UE。
该RRC重配置消息中包括测量对象、测量报告配置信息、测量标识等信息。
步骤402、UE根据RRC重配置消息对多个小区进行RRC测量,生成测量报告(Measure Report)并将测量报告发送至源基站。
应理解,测量报告中包括信号强度、信号接收功率等指标数据。
步骤403、源基站根据UE上报的测量报告确定UE是否需要切换(Handover Decision)。
步骤404、源基站确定UE需要切换时,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求消息(Handover Request)。
步骤405、目标基站确定是否允许UE接入(Admission Control)。
可选地,目标基站可以根据该目标基站的连接数等的情况确定是否允许UE接入,例如,目标基站的连接数较小时,目标基站允许UE接入;目标基站的连接数较大,该目标基站无法再为UE提供服务,则目标基站不允许UE接入。
步骤406、目标基站确定允许UE接入时,目标基站向源基站发送切换确认消息 (Handover Request ACK)。
该切换确认消息中包括UE待接入的目标小区的信息以及UE接入该目标小区所需的一些配置参数。目标小区的信息包括该目标小区的物理小区标识(physical cell identifier,PCI),目标小区对应的频率信息,例如目标小区对应频点,具体的,在NR系统中,小区的频率信息的内容可参考协议TS38331中对FrequencyInfoDL IE的具体描述。UE接入目标小区所需的配置参数还可以包括UE接入目标小区所需的RACH资源信息(例如专用RACH资源和/或RACH资源)。
步骤407、源基站向UE发送切换命令。
该切换命令可以通过RRC重配置消息发送该切换命令,该切换命令中包含上述目标小区的信息以及UE接入该目标小区所需的一些配置参数。
步骤408、UE根据切换指令对目标基站发起随机接入(Random Access)。
步骤409、UE发送RRC重配置完成消息(RRCReconifiguration Complete)给目标基站。
可以理解的是,UE在切换的过程中,UE会断开与源基站的连接,在成功接入目标基站之前UE收发数据可能会出现短暂的中断。
应理解,在上述MBS业务数据传输过程中也可能会发生UE切换,例如,图5中的UE2由于发生位置移动从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备,UE2切换至第二接入网设备之后,由第二接入网设备向UE2发送MBS业务的数据。
下面从数据包的传输过程详细介绍MBS业务的数据的传输过程,结合图1,核心网设备通过MBS会话向接入网设备发送MBS业务的数据包。可以理解的是,一个MBS会话对应一个传输通道(例如一个GTP-U隧道或N3接口),一个MBS会话或一个传输通道包含一个或多个服务质量流(quality of service,QoS)流,即QoS flow,MBS会话的QoS流也可以称为MBS flow或者其他名称,本申请实施例不作限定。一个无线承载对应一个分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)实体。
核心网设备获取到MBS业务的数据包之后,核心网设备为每一个数据包添加核心网序列号,如通用分组无线服务隧道协议-用户面序列号(GPRS tunneling protocol-U serial number,GTP-U SN),另外也可以为每一个数据包添加QoS流标识序列号(QoS flow identification serial number,QFI SN),核心网设备可以为每一个数据包设置GTP-U SN和/或QFI SN。具体的,GTP-U SN的设置规则是:在一个MBS会话中进行统一设置,即在一个MBS会话中,属于该MBS会话的数据包的GTP-U SN依次递增,GTP-U SN的设置与该MBS会话包含的QoS流无关,即GTP-U SN不区分QoS流。QFI SN的设置规则是:在一个QoS流中进行统一设置,并且不同QoS流中的数据包的QFI SN是独立设置的,即在一个QoS流中,属于该QoS流的数据包的QFI SN依次递增,不同QoS流数据包QFI SN的设置互不影响。
示例性的,参考图6,以一个MBS会话为例,该MBS会话包括3个QoS流,分别记为QoS flow A,QoS flow B,QoS flow C,对于该MBS会话中的连续的6个数据包为例,分别记为数据包1、数据包2、数据包3、数据包4、数据包5以及数据包6,按照上述GTP-U SN的设置规则,这6个数据包的GTP-U SN依次可以为:1,2,3, 4,5,6。其中,数据包1和数据包4属于QoS flow A,数据包2和数据包5属于QoS flow B,数据包3和数据包6属于QoS flow C,按照上述QFI SN的设置规则,QoS flow A中的数据包1和数据包4的QFI SN依次为1,2;QoS flow B中的数据包2和数据包5的QFI SN依次为1,2;QoS flow C中的数据包3和数据包6的QFI SN依次为1,2。
综上,核心网设备对其接收到的数据包设置了GTP-U SN和/或QFI SN之后,将数据包发送至接入网设备,接入网设备接收数据包,并且建立MBS会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射,即需要将QoS流的数据包通过映射的无线承载进行传输,这里假设无线承载与PDCP一一对应,所以用PDCP指代无线承载。接入网设备去掉包含GTP-U SN和/或QFI SN的包头以后,将数据包传输到PDCP实体,并且由接入网设备的PDCP实体为数据包设置PDCP SN,然后基于对应的无线承载将数据包在各个协议层实体处理以后发送至用户设备。具体的,接入网设备是按照MBS会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系,通过无线承载传输相应QoS流的数据包。可选地,MBS会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系可以包括但不限于:MBS会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,即一个QoS流对应一个无线承载,且一个无线承载对应一个QoS流,或者可以理解为同一个QoS流的所有数据包都只通过同一个无线承载传输,而该无线承载仅用于传输该QoS的数据包;MBS会话的QoS流与无线承载多对一映射,即多个QoS流对应一个无线承载;MBS会话的所有QoS流与同一个无线承载映射,即所有的QoS流对应一个无线承载,或者可以理解为该MBS会话与无线承载一对一映射,该MBS会话中的所有数据包都通过一个无线承载进行传输。
可选地,本申请实施例中,接入网设备可以根据数据包的GTP-U SN或数据包的QFI SN设置数据包的PDCP SN。仍以图6所示的MBS会话为例,该MBS会话包含的三个QoS流与无线承载的映射为:QoS flow A和QoS flow C映射到无线承载A(可以记为PDCP A,指的是PDCP实体A);QoS flow B映射到无线承载B(记为PDCP B),那么QoS flow A和QoS flow C的数据包通过无线承载A传输,由PDCP A为QoS flow A和QoS flow C的数据包添加PDCP SN;QoS flow B的数据包通过无线承载B传输,由PDCP B为QoS flow B的数据包添加PDCP SN。假设根据GTP-U SN设置数据包的PDCP SN,且数据包的PDCP SN等于GTP-U SN,该MBS会话的数据包的PDCP SN具体参考图6。
可以理解的,即使通信系统中的每一个基站都按照上述方式设置数据包的PDCP SN,在切换过程中,也可能会出现数据包丢失。具体的,在MBS业务传输过程中,当UE从一个接入网设备切换至另有一个接入网设备时,由于不同接入网设备对相同的MBS业务的数据包的传输进度可能不同,并且不同的接入网设备独立设置QoS流到无线承载的映射关系,例如,对于业务标识相同的MBS业务,不同的接入网设备建立的MBS会话的QoS流与无线承载的映射关系可能不同,不同的接入网设备对相同的数据包设置的PDCP SN也就会不同,因此,UE在切换过程中两个接入网设备无法获知对方实际传输数据包的状态,则可能导致UE在切换的过程中出现数据包丢失。
另外,UE切换过程中导致数据包丢失的现象不仅限于MBS业务,单播业务中也可能存在丢包的问题。
基于背景技术存在的问题,本申请实施例提供一种数据传输方法及装置,核心网设备可以向第一接入网设备发送第一指示信息,然后第一接入网设备接收到第一指示信息后,根据第一指示信息确定当前会话(称为第一会话)的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系,进而第一接入网设备按照第一映射关系传输来自第一会话的数据包。通信系统中的接入网设备按照本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法传输数据包,能够减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失,从而为用户设备提供更好的通信服务。
本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法可以应用于通信系统中的一个实体向另一个实体发送信息,另一个实体接收信息的场景中,并且该方法可用于接入网设备与一个用户设备通信的场景,即单播业务场景;该方法也可以用于接入网设备与多个用户设备通信的场景,即多播广播(MBS)业务场景。可选地,该方法可以应用于可应用于5G NR系统,也可以应用于其他通信系统。

80部分的收发单元,也可以称为收发机,或收发器等,其包括天线和射频单元,或者仅包括射频单元或其中的部分其中射频单元主要用于进行射频处理。可选地,可以将80部分中用于实现接收功能的器件视为接收单元,将用于实现发送功能的器件视为发送单元,即80部分包括接收单元和发送单元。接收单元也可以称为接收机、接收器、或接收电路等,发送单元可以称为发射机、发射器或者发射电路等。
81部分可以包括一个或多个单板或芯片,每个单板或芯片可以包括一个或多个处理器和一个或多个存储器,处理器用于读取和执行存储器中的程序以实现基带处理功能以及对基站的控制。若存在多个单板,各个单板之间可以互联以增加处理能力。作为一种可选的实施方式,也可以是多个单板共用一个或多个处理器,或者是多个单板共用一个或多个存储器。其中,存储器和处理器可以是集成在一起的,也可以是独立设置的。在一些实施例中,80部分和81部分可以是集成在一起的,也可以是独立设置的。另外,81部分中的全部功能可以集成在一个芯片中实现,也可以部分功能集成 在一个芯片中实现另外一部分功能集成在其他一个或多个芯片中实现,本申请实施例对此不进行限定。
本申请实施例中的核心网设备可以为5G NR系统中的相关网络功能(network function,NF),例如接入和移动管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)以及用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)等。其中,UPF主要负责用户面数据包的相关处理,可以用于从数据网络(数据服务器)中获取数据包,为数据包设置核心网序列号,然后将数据包发送至接入网设备;AMF主要负责数据面信令的相关处理,例如可以用于生成指示信息等,并向接入网设备发送指示信息(例如下述实施例中的第一指示信息、第二指示信息);SMF主要负责将一些数据包处理策略发送给UPF等。
当然,核心网设备也可以为4G等其他通信系统中具有上述功能的网元或网络功能,具体根据实际情况确定,本申请实施例不作限定。
结合上述应用场景可知,本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法可以用于传输MBS业务,也可以用于传输单播业务,本申请实施例不作限定。在本申请实施例中,以MBS业务为例对本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法进行详细描述。如图9所示,本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法包括步骤901至步骤908。
步骤901、核心网设备从数据服务器获取数据包。
本申请实施例中,核心网设备从数据服务器或者内容服务器获取的数据包是某一业务的数据包,其中,核心网设备可以直接或者间接从数据服务器或者内容服务器获取数据包,例如数据包从数据服务器或者内容服务器经过网关或者其他转发设备发送给核心网设备。核心网设备获取到该业务的数据包之后,核心网设备通过核心网设备与接入网设备之间的传输通道或者通信接口向接入网设备发送数据包。可以理解的是,一个传输通道或者通信接口对应一个会话,以下实施例称为第一会话,第一会话是核心网设备与第一接入网设备之间建立的用于传输某一业务的数据的会话,第一会话可以包含一个或多个QoS流。
对于MBS业务,该第一会话为一个MBS会话,该MBS会话包含的QoS流可以称为MBS流(即MBS flow)。
步骤902、核心网设备设置数据包的GTP-U序列号和/或QFI序列号。
参考上述实施例中描述的关于设置GTP-U序列号(即GTP-U SN)的方法和设置QFI序列号(即QFI SN)的方法,核心网设备对通过第一会话传输的数据包统一设置数据包的GTP-U序列号,属于该第一会话的数据包的GTP-U SN依次递增。核心网设备对通过第一会话传输的数据包,按照数据包所属QoS流,在每一个QoS流内部统一设置数据包的QFI序列号,不同QoS流中的数据包的QFI SN是独立设置的,在一个QoS流中,属于该QoS流的数据包的QFI SN依次递增。可选地,除这两种SN之外,还可以为MBS业务新设计一种SN,例如MBS SN,本申请实施例不做限定。
本申请实施例中,核心网设备根据获取的数据包所属的业务服务质量(QoS)需求判断该业务在UE移动的过程中是否需要保证无损传输或者高可靠传输,如果该业务在UE移动的过程中需要保证无损传输或者高可靠传输,则核心网设备将相同的数据包发送至不同的接入网设备时,核心网设备为相同的数据包设置相同的GTP-U序列 号,和/或为相同的数据包设置相同的QFI序列号。也就是说,对于相同的业务(例如TMGI相同的业务),核心网设备向不同的接入网设备发送相同的数据包时,相同的数据包的GTP-U序列号相同,和/或相同的数据包的QFI序列号相同。
例如,核心网设备通过第一会话向第一接入网设备发送的第一数据包的GTP-U序列号与核心网设备通过第二会话向第二接入网设备发送的第一数据包的GTP-U序列号相同,和/或核心网设备通过第一会话的QoS流向第一接入网设备发送的第一数据包的QFI序列号与核心网设备通过第二会话的QoS流向第二接入网设备发送的第一数据包的QFI序列号相同。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的相同的数据包指的是数据包的内容相同并且数据包的大小相同,核心网设备将一个数据包复制成的多个数据包,该多个数据包可以称为相同的数据包。
步骤903、核心网设备通过第一会话向第一接入网设备发送数据包。
步骤904、核心网设备生成第一指示信息。
该第一指示信息用于指示第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系。
步骤905、核心网设备向第一接入网设备发送第一指示信息。
可选地,核心网设备可以通过第一会话建立/修改请求消息或者QoS流建立/修改请求消息向第一接入网设备发送第一指示信息,也可以通过其他消息向第一接入网设备发送第一指示信息,本申请实施例不作限定。
步骤906、第一接入网设备接收第一指示信息。
步骤907、第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系。
上述第一映射关系为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,或者第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射。
示例性的,第一会话包含3个QoS流,分别记为QoS flow A,QoS flow B和QoS flow C,表1示出了第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射的一种示例,表2示出了第一会话的QoS流与同一无线承载映射的一种示例。
表1
QoS流 无线承载
QoS flow A 无线承载A
QoS flow B 无线承载B
QoS flow C 无线承载C
表2
QoS流 无线承载
QoS flow A 无线承载A
QoS flow B 无线承载A
QoS flow C 无线承载A
在一种实现方式中,上述第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系具体包括:第一指示信息指示第一映射关系,如此,第一接入网设备接收到第一指示信息时,第一接入网设备根据该第一指示信息 的指示确定第一映射关系。
可选地,第一指示信息为显式的指示信息,该第一指示信息中可以包括第一映射关系。或者,第一指示信息可以为一个索引,该索引指示第一映射关系,第一接入网设备根据该索引确定第一映射关系,索引与第一映射关系的对应关系可以由核心网设备预先配置或者在协议中预定义。
在另一种实现方式中,上述第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系具体包括:第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包或者其所属的业务是否满足预设条件,如果该数据包或者其所属的业务满足预设条件,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系。
可以理解的是,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包满足预设条件,则说明该第一会话的数据包所属的业务在接入网设备切换时需保证无损传输或高可靠性传输,换句话说,对于该业务,不同的接入网设备需要对该业务的相同数据包设置相同的PDCP序列号;另外,对于该业务接入网设备需要按照第一映射关系建立QoS流到无线承载的映射。
可选地,在第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包满足预设条件的情况下,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一会话的QoS流到无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系的方式可以为两种方式,一种方式是第一指示信息中包括第一映射关系,则第一接入网设备可以从第一指示信息中获取第一映射关系;另一种方式是第一映射关系预先定义在协议中或者预先由核心网设备配置给接入网设备,当第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息判断来自第一会话的数据包满足预设条件,第一接入网设备根据协议的预先定义或者预先配置确定第一映射关系。
可选地,第一指示信息包括QoS标识或QoS参数值,该QoS标识或QoS参数值可以携带在第一会话建立请求消息中。其中,QoS标识可以包括5G服务质量标识(5G quality of service identity,5QI);QoS参数值包括下述至少一种优先级、包时延预算或包误码率。可选地,QoS参数值可以是上述现有的QoS参数的值,该QoS参数值也可以是本申请实施例新定义的一种QoS参数的值,具体根据实际需求选择,此处不作限定。
针对第一指示信息的内容,上述预设条件可以为QoS标识满足一定的条件或者或QoS参数值满足一定的条件,可选地,该预设条件可以通过核心网设备配置给基站或者预先定义协议中。
以QoS标识为上述5QI为例,上述预设条件可以为数据包的5QI等于预设值,例如,该预设条件为数据包的5QI等于73,第一接入网设备接收到第一指示信息之后,第一接入网设备从第一指示信息中获取数据包的5QI,然后第一接入网设备判断第一指示信息中携带的5QI是否等于73,在第一指示信息中的5QI等于73的情况下,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一映射关系。
以QoS参数值为优先级为例,上述预设条件可以为优先级大于或等于预设优先级,第一接入网设备接收到第一指示信息之后,第一接入网设备从第一指示信息中获取优先级,然后第一接入网设备判断第一指示信息中携带的优先级是否大于或等于预设优 先级,在第一指示信息中的优先级大于或等于预设优先级的情况下,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一映射关系。
以QoS参数值为包误码率为例,上述预设条件还可以为数据包的包误码率低于预设门限值,第一接入网设备接收到第一指示信息之后,第一接入网设备从第一指示信息中获取包误码率,然后第一接入网设备判断第一指示信息中携带的包误码率是否低于预设门限值,在第一指示信息中的包误码率低于预设门限值的情况下,第一接入网设备根据第一指示信息确定第一映射关系。
需要注意的是,这里预设条件中的大小关系仅为示例,并不做严格限定,例如预设条件是某一QoS参数大于、小于、等于、大于或等于或者小于或等于的情况均落入本实施例保护范围。
步骤908、第一接入网设备按照第一映射关系传输来自第一会话的数据包。
本申请实施例中,第一接入网设备确定第一会话的QoS流与无线承载的映射关系为第一映射关系,第一接入网设备建立第一会话的QoS流与无线承载的映射,然后,第一接入网设备按照第一映射关系传输来自第一会话的数据包。
可选地,结合图9,如图10所示,上述步骤908具体包括步骤9081或步骤9082
步骤9081、第一映射关系为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,第一接入网设备根据数据包的QFI序列号设置该数据包的PDCP序列号,并且发送该数据包。
在一种实施方式中,来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号等于该数据包的QFI序列号,或者,该数据包的PDCP序列号与该数据包的QFI序列号的差值为固定值。该固定值可以是协议预定义或者核心网设备预配置或者通过第一指示信息指示。
在另一种实施方式中,若数据包的PDCP序列号的最大长度小于该数据包的QFI序列号的最大长度,则该数据包的PDCP序列号满足:A=(B)mod(X),其中,A表示数据包的PDCP序列号,B表示数据包的QFI序列号,X表示PDCP序列号的最大值,mod表示取模运算,这样可以保证根据QFI序列号设置的PDCP序列号不超过PDCP序列号的最大值。
示例性的,图11为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射时,来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号的设置示意图。在图11中,第一会话的QoS流包括QoS flow A和QoS flow B,以来自第一会话的5个连续的数据包为例,数据包1、数据包3以及数据包5属于QoS flow A,数据包2和数据包4属于QoS flow B,此时,按照数据包的PDCP序列号等于该数据包的QFI序列号设置数据包的PDCP序列号,可见在同一个QoS流中,数据包的PDCP序列号是连续的,并且依次增加。
本申请实施例中,第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射,第一接入网设备根据数据包的QFI序列号设置该数据包的PDCP序列号,并且发送该数据包至用户设备。应理解,用户设备的源接入网设备与目标接入网设备均按照该方法设置数据包的PDCP序列号,结合上述图4所示的切换流程,当用户设备从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,由于第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备对相同的QoS流中的相同的数据包设置的PDCP序列号是相同的,而且QoS流到无线承载的映射关系也是相同的,因此,UE在不同的接入网设备之间切换时,可以根据PDCP序列号确定接入网设备传输数据包的进度,并且可以通过data forwarding技术或者data buffering技术减少用户设 备切换过程中数据包的丢失。
可以理解的是,data forwarding技术指的是在UE切换的过程中,第一接入网设备将来自第一会话的数据包发送至第二接入网设备,从而当用户设备切换成功之后,由第二接入网设备将其从第一接入网设备接收到的数据包发送至用户设备,以减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失。data buffering技术指的是用户设备切换过程中,第二接入网设备将其接收的来自第一会话的数据包缓存下来,当用户设备切换成功之后,由第二接入网设备将其缓存的数据包发送至用户设备,以减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失。
步骤9082、第一映射关系为第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射,第一接入网设备根据数据包的GTP-U序列号设置数据的PDCP序列号,并且发送该数据包。
在一种实施方式中,来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号等于该数据包的GTP-U序列号,或者,该数据包的PDCP序列号与该数据包的GTP-U序列号的差值为固定值。同理,该固定值可以是协议预定义或者核心网设备预配置或者通过第一指示信息指示。
在另一种实施方式中,若数据包的PDCP序列号的最大长度小于该数据包的GTP-U序列号的最大长度,则该数据包的PDCP序列号满足:A=(C)mod(X),其中,A表该数据包的PDCP序列号,C表示该数据包的GTP-U序列号,X表示PDCP序列号的最大值,mod表示取模运算,这样可以保证根据GTP-U序列号设置的PDCP序列号不超过PDCP序列号的最大值。
示例性的,图12为第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射时,来自第一会话的数据包的PDCP序列号的设置示意图。在图12中,第一会话的QoS流包括QoS flow A和QoS flow B,以来自第一会话的5个连续的数据包为例,数据包1、数据包3以及数据包5属于QoS flow A,数据包2和数据包4属于QoS flow B,此时,按照数据包的PDCP序列号等于该数据包的GTP-U序列号设置数据包的PDCP序列号,可见在第一会话中,数据包的PDCP序列号是连续的,并且依次增加。
本申请实施例中,第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射,第一接入网设备根据数据包的GTP-U序列号设置该数据包的PDCP序列号,并且发送该数据包至用户设备。应理解,用户设备的源接入网设备与目标接入网设备均按照该方法设置数据包的PDCP序列号,同理,结合上述图4所示的切换流程,当用户设备从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,由于第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备对同一会话的相同的数据包设置的PDCP序列号是相同的,而且QoS流到无线承载的映射关系也是相同的,因此,UE在不同的接入网设备之间切换时,可以根据PDCP序列号确定接入网设备传输数据包的进度,并且可以通过data forwarding技术或者data buffering技术减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失。
综上,通过本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法,能够减少用户设备切换过程中数据包的丢失。
可选地,如图13所示,上述核心网设备从数据服务器获取数据包之后,本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法还可以包括步骤1301至步骤1304。
步骤1301、核心网设备向第一接入网设备发送第二指示信息。
第二指示信息用于指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务是否为本地业务。
本申请实施例中,核心网设备从数据服务器获取到数据包之后,核心网设备可以确定数据包所属的业务是本地业务还是非本地业务,然后核心网设备通过指示信息向第一接入网设备指示该数据包所属的业务的类型。
可选地,第二指示信息可以包含业务标识,例如MBS业务的业务标识;另外可选地,第二指示信息可以包含本地业务指示信息,该本地业务指示信息可以指示该业务是否为本地业务,第二指示信息也可以为其他指示信息,本申请实施例不作限定。另外可选地,第二指示信息也可以包含本地业务的本地区域信息,例如可以包含该本地业务对应的至少一个本地区域所包含的小区标识(列表)、跟踪区标识(tracking area,TA)(列表)或者基站标识(列表)等。
本申请实施例中,当第一接入网设备确定上述第一会话的数据包所属的业务为本地业务时,上述第二指示信息还用于指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域(即第一接入网设备的area信息),该第二指示信息可以指示在哪些区域内该业务的业务内容是相同的,例如,对于MBS业务,该第二指示信息可以为该MBS业务的小区标识列表(cell list),以指示在哪些小区内业务内容相同,或者该第二指示信息为TA列表,以指示在哪些TA内业务内容相同。
可选地,上述向第一接入网设备发送的用于指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务是否为本地业务的指示信息也可以与用于指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域的指示信息为不同的指示信息,即通过两个独立的指示信息分别指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务是否为本地业务,指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域的指示信息为不同的指示信息,本申请实施例不作具体限定。
例如,指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域的指示信息可以携带在该业务的上下文信息中。
本申请实施例中,核心网设备获取的数据包所属的业务是本地业务,核心网设备确定不同的接入网设备是否属于相同业务(例如TMGI相同的业务)的同一本地区域。例如第一业务为本地业务,对于第一接入网设备,若该第一接入网设备属于本地区域1,对于第二接入网设备,若该第二接入网设备属于本地区域2,则确定第一接入网设备与第二接入网设备不属于同一本地区域;若第一接入网设备属于本地区域1,该第二接入网设备属于本地区域1,则确定第一接入网设备与第二接入网设备属于同一本地区域。
若核心网设备获取的数据包所属的业务是本地业务,并且不同的接入网设备属于相同业务的同一本地区域,核心网设备向不同的接入网设备发送相同的数据包时,按照上述实施例设置GTP-U序列号和/或设置QFI序列号的方法设置数据包的GTP-U序列号和/或QFI序列号,使得相同的数据包的GTP-U序列号相同,和/或相同的数据包的QFI序列号相同。
例如,核心网设备获取的数据包所属的业务为本地业务,且第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备属于相同业务的同一本地区域,核心网设备向第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备发送相同的数据包时,相同的数据包的GTP-U序列号相同,和/或相同的数据包的QFI序列号相同。
若核心网设备获取的数据包所属的业务是本地业务,并且不同的接入网设备不属于相同业务的同一本地区域,则核心网设备向不同的接入网设备发送相同的数据包时,无需限制相同的数据包的GTP-U序列号相同,和/或相同的数据包的QFI序列号相同。相同的数据包的GTP-U序列号可以相同也可以不同,和/或相同的数据包的QFI序列号可以相同,也可以不同,可以由核心网设备自己实现,对与不同接入网设备连接的会话进行独立处理。
步骤1302、第一接入网设备从核心网设备接收第二指示信息。
本申请实施例中,当用户设备从第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备切换时,第一接入网设备根据上述第二指示信息确定第二接入网设备是否属于同一本地区域。例如第一接入网设备根据核心网设备指示的小区列表确定第二接入网设备是否属于该列表指示的区域,若第二接入网设备不属于该列表指示的区域,则确定第一接入网设备与第二接入网设备不属于相同业务的同一本地区域;若第二接入网设备属于该列表指示的区域,则确定第一接入网设备与第二接入网设备属于相同业务的同一本地区域。
步骤1303、当用户设备从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送第三指示信息。
第三指示信息用于指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务为本地业务。
可选地,该第三指示信息还用于指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域。
同理,上述向第二接入网设备发送的用于指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务是否为本地业务的指示信息也可以与用于指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域的指示信息为不同的指示信息,即通过两个独立的指示信息分别指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务是否为本地业务,指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域的指示信息为不同的指示信息,本申请实施例不作具体限定。
步骤1304、第二接入网设备从第一接入网设备接收第三指示信息。
本申请实施例中,第二接入网设备根据第三指示信息确定来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务是本地业务,并且第一接入网设备所属的本地区域与第二接入网设备所属的本地区域是不同的本地区域(即第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备不属于相同业务的同一本地区域),第二接入网设备可以确定该业务是跨本地区域的业务,因此在用户设备切换过程中无需保证业务的连续性,即无需保证不丢包,则无需执行上述data forwarding的流程,那么第二接入网设备也无需为第一接入网设备分配用于data forwarding的转发隧道信息,并且第二接入网设备在切换请求确认消息中也无需配置PDCP状态报告,则用户设备在收到切换命令之后,也无需向第二接入网设备发送PDCP状态报告。对于第一接入网设备所属的本地区域与第二接入网设备所属的本地区域是不同的本地区域的情况,通过上述步骤1301至步骤1304能够降低接入网设备和用户设备的实现复杂度。
综上,一方面,本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法中,无论是本地业务还是非本地业务,均可以采用上述步骤901至步骤908所描述的过程传输来数据,使得不同接入网设备对相同的数据包设置相同的PDCP序列号,能够保证UE切换过程中业务的连续性。
另一方面,核心网设备可以通过指示信息(上述第二指示信息)指示数据包所属 的业务是本地业务还是非本地业务,且指示接入网设备的本地区域,针对非本地业务和同一本地区域内的本地业务,核心网设备和接入网设备按照上述步骤901至步骤908描述的数据传输方法传输数据,使得不同接入网设备对相同的数据包设置相同的PDCP序列号,以保证用户设备切换过程中业务的连续性;针对非同一区域内的本地业务,第一接入网设备还可以进一步向第二接入网设备发送第三指示信息,从而第二接入网设备确定第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备不属于相同业务的同一本地区域,则无需保证用户设备切换过程中业务的连续性,进而无需执行data forwarding,能够降低接入网设备和用户设备的实现复杂度。
相应地,本申请实施例提供一种第一接入设备,该第一接入网设备用于执行上述数据传输方法中各个的步骤,本申请实施例可以根据上述方法示例对第一接入网设备进行功能模块的划分,例如,可以对应各个功能划分各个功能模块,也可以将两个或两个以上的功能集成在一个处理模块中。上述集成的模块既可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件功能模块的形式实现。本申请实施例中对模块的划分是示意性的,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式。

可选地,申请实施例提供的第一接入网设备还包括处理模块1404,该处理模块1404用于在第一映射关系为第一会话的QoS流与无线承载一对一映射的情况下,根据来自第一会话的数据包的QFI序列号设置数据包的PDCP序列号,例如执行上述方法实施例中的步骤9081。
可选地,处理模块1404还用于在第一映射关系为第一会话的所有QoS流与同一无线承载映射的情况下,根据来自第一会话的数据包的GTP-U序列号设置数据的PDCP序列号,例如执行上述方法实施例中的步骤9082。
可选地,上述接收模块1401,还用于从核心网设备接收第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务为本地业务,第二指示信息还用于指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域,例如执行上述方法实施例中的步骤1302。
可选地,上述发送模块1403还用于当用户设备从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,向第二接入网设备发送第三指示信息,该第三指示信息用于指示来自第一会话的数据包所属的业务为本地业务,第三指示信息还用于指示第一接入网设备所属的本地区域,例如,执行上述方法实施例中的步骤1303。
上述第一接入网设备的各个模块还可以用于执行上述方法实施例中的其他动作,上述方法实施例涉及的各步骤的所有相关内容均可以援引到对应功能模块的功能描述,在此不再赘述。
