图1为本申请实施例提供的应用场景的示意图,如图1所示,本实施例提供了一种通信系统100,该通信系统100包括网络设备110和多个终端120,其中,图1中以3个终端120为例。终端120会随着用户的位置变化而发生小区切换,从当前连接的小区切换至与信号质量更好的另一小区,以确保终端120的信号质量。
在小区切换过程中,如果终端与小区发生连接失败,终端和网络设备可以进行移动健壮性优化(Mobility Robustness Optimisation,MRO),以辅助网络设备优化切换参数。在MRO中,如果终端从源小区切换至目标小区失败,或者终端与源小区连接时源小区发生无线链路失败(Radio Link Failure,RLF),或者终端与目标小区连接时目标小区发生RLF,则终端侧会对测量配置的小区进行测量并记录测量结果,还会记录随机接入、切换和重建立等相关信息。在切换失败或者RLF后,终端通过无线资源管理(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接重建立或者建立重新连接至网络,并向网络设备通知自身记录有与切换失败或RLF相关的消息,网络设备根据自身需要,向终 端获取与切换失败或RLF相关的消息,并进一步生成失败指示(failure indication)消息,还可以生成切换报告(handover report)消息,以依据失败指示消息和/或切换报告消息进行切换参数优化。
其中,终端侧记录的与切换失败或RLF相关的消息可称为RLF报告。
其中,终端与小区连接或者断开连接,是指终端与小区所对应的网络设备连接或断开连接。终端向小区发送消息,是指终端向小区所对应的网络设备发送消息。小区向终端发送的消息,是指小区所对应的网络设备向终端发送消息,换句话说,网络设备通过小区向终端发送消息。
为了提高小区切换的成功率和/或降低小区切换过程中对终端通信的不利影响,第三代合作伙伴项目(the 3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)引入了小区切换的切换增强特性,包括在小区切换中引入条件切换(Conditional Handover)和双激活协议栈切换(Dual Active Protocal Stack)。为适应增强切换特性的小区切换,MRO过程也需要进行相应的增强,MRO中的空口消息和/或XN接口消息也需要进行增强,其中,MRO中的空口消息为RLF报告,XN接口消息为失败指示消息、切换报告消息。
为便于理解本申请实施例,以下对RLF报告、传统的小区切换(即非切换增强特性的小区切换)、CHO、DAPS切换、失败指示消息、切换报告消息进行简单描述:
(一)RLF报告
RLF报告主要涵盖切换失败和RLF两种场景,一个RLF报告通常只记录一种场景。通常的,RLF报告中包含终端上一小区的测量结果、终端确认切换失败或RLF后邻小区的测量结果、终端的位置信息、终端失败小区的标识信息、终端重建小区的标识信息、定时时长(又称为终端的上报定时器)、连接失败原因等内容。其中,终端在切换失败时终端失败小区通常为源小区,与终端连接的小区发生RLF时该发生RLF的小区为终端失败小区。终端重建小区为切换失败或与终端连接的小区发生RLF后,终端通过RRC连接重建立或者建立所连接到的小区。小区的标识信息例如为小区全球标识(Cell Global Identity,CGI),又如为物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identity,PCI)结合频点进行表示。定时时长通过终端的上报定时器的定时过程获得,终端每接收到一次切换指令则重启一次上报定时器。
(二)传统的小区切换
图2为传统的小区切换过程中切换成功的示例图,也即非切换增强特性的小区切换的示意图。如图2所示,传统的小区切换过程包括:
S201、源小区和目标小区进行切换请求消息和切换响应消息的收发,其中,源小区向目标小区发送切换请求消息,目标小区向源小区发送切换响应消息;S202、源小区向终端发送同步重配置消息,以通知终端切换至目标小区;S203、终端断开与源小区的连接并成功切换至目标小区;S204、目标小区向源小区发送终端上下文释放消息,以指示源小区释放终端上下文。
在传统的小区切换过程中,若终端从源小区切换至目标小区失败或者终端从源小区成功切换至目标小区后目标小区发生RLF,则终端生成RLF报告,并向另一小区发出RRC连接重建立或建立请求。在终端与该另一小区成功建立RCC连接后,网络设备通过该另一小区知道终端上记录有RLF报告,可进一步生成失败指示消息和切换报 告消息。
示例性的,MRO中的失败指示消息如下(下表左侧为消息内容,右侧为对消息内容的解释):
Figure PCTCN2022071025-appb-000001
示例性的,MRO中的切换报告消息如下(下表左侧为消息内容,右侧为对消息内容的解释):
Figure PCTCN2022071025-appb-000002
(三)CHO
CHO的总体思想是网络设备通过源小区提前向终端下发同步重配置消息,同步重配置消息中包括一个或多个候选小区,终端接收到同步重配置消息后会根据自身监测到的信号在候选小区中选择目标小区。传统的小区切换中由网络设备通过源小区指定目标小区,终端自身确定目标小区相较于网络设备确定目标小区,一方面能够更准确考虑到终端的实际情况,另一方面能够解决传统的小区切换中终端因为高速移动无法接收到或者无法及时接收到同步重配置消息导致切换效果不佳的问题。
图3为CHO过程中切换成功的示例图。如图3所示,CHO过程包括:
S301、源小区确定使用CHO;S302、源小区向终端发送CHO同步重配置消息,以指示终端进行CHO;S303、终端监测到CHO同步重配置消息中的某一候选小区符合条件时,将该候选小区作为目标小区并切换至目标小区。
可见,在CHO过程中,若终端从源小区切换至目标小区失败或者终端从源小区成功切换至目标小区后目标小区发生RLF,终端还可以从选择另一候选小区作为目标小区,而无需进行RRC连接重建立或建立,因而不会触发传统的MRO过程,但在切换至上一候选小区确实发生了连接失败,网络设备却无法生成相应的失败指示消息、切 换报告消息。
(四)DAPS切换
与传统切换不同的是,DAPS切换过程中终端与源小区的数据传输链路并不断开,在终端与目标小区连接成功后终端才断开与源小区之间的数据传输链路。图4为DAPS切换成功的示例图,包括:
S401、源小区与目标小区之间进行0毫秒切换请求和0毫秒切换响应的收发,其中,0毫秒是表示源小区与终端并不断开数据传输链路;S402、源小区向终端发送0毫秒切换指示消息;S403、终端切换至目标小区;S404、在终端与目标小区的连接建立成功后,目标小区可通知终端完成数据传输并指示终端释放与源小区之间的数据传输;S405、终端停止与源小区之间的数据传输,并释放源小区的主小区组(Master Cell Group,或者又称为Main Cell Group,简称MCG)配置。
由于DAPS切换过程中终端与源小区、目标小区同时保持数据连接,DAPS切换过程中的连接失败包括源小区切换至目标小区失败、或者终端从源小区成功切换至目标小区后目标小区发生RLF,或者终端在从源小区切换至目标小区的过程或者成功切换至目标小区后源小区发生RLF。
在终端在成功切换至目标小区后源小区发生RLF后,终端无需进行RRC连接重建立或者建立,因而不会触发传统的MRO过程,也即无法针对这种连接失败生成相应的失败指示消息、切换报告消息,导致网络设备忽视了在这种连接失败下的切换参数优化。同时,在RLF报告中的定时时长是终端在接收到DAPS切换命令到源小区发生RLF的时长,无法反映出终端切换至源小区并在源小区驻留的时长。
为解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供了一种小区切换方法、装置、设备及介质,在切换增强特性的小区切换中,对终端与小区之间(或者终端与网络设备之间)的空口消息(即RLF报告),和/或,不同的小区之间(或者不同的网络设备之间)的XN接口消息(即失败指示消息、切换报告消息)进行增强,进而提高网络设备进行切换参数优化的效果。
其中,本申请实施例所提供的方法和装置是基于同一申请构思的,由于方法和装置解决问题的原理相似,因此装置和方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。
图5为本申请一实施例提供的小区切换方法的流程示意图。如图5所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S501、网络设备通过第一小区向终端发送第一消息,第一消息指示终端进行切换增强特性的小区切换或者非切换增强特性的小区切换。
其中,切换增强特性的小区切换包括CHO或者DAPS切换。
其中,第一小区为终端设备所在的源小区。
具体的,终端通过第一小区与网络设备连接时,网络设备通过第一小区向终端发送第一消息,以指示终端进行小区切换,例如,在此对网络设备发送第一消息的触发条件不做限制,即对终端在满足如何的条件时进行小区切换不做限制,可参照CHO切换、DAPS切换或其他切换。
S502、终端根据第一消息从第一小区切换至第二小区。
其中,第二小区为终端设备根据第一消息进行小区切换的目标小区。
具体的,如果第一消息指示终端进行非切换增强特性的小区切换或者DAPS切换,则第一消息中可包括第二小区的标识信息。如果第一消息指示终端进行CHO,则第一消息中可包括多个候选小区的标识信息、且第二小区属于第一消息中多个候选小区中的一个小区。
具体的,终端按照第一消息的指示进行切换增强特性的小区切换或进行非增强切换特性的小区切换,从第一小区切换至第二小区。
S503、在终端成功连接至第二小区后,网络设备通过第二小区向终端发送第二消息,第二消息指示终端进行切换增强特性的小区切换。
具体的,在终端成功连接至第二小区后,可能由于终端与第二小区之间的信号质量不佳、终端的位置发生变化已离开第二小区等,网络设备可通过第二小区向终端发送第二消息,以指示终端进行切换增强特征的小区切换,例如指示终端进行CHO或者指示终端进行DAPS。
S504、终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区。
其中,如果第二消息指示终端进行CHO,则第二消息中可包括多个候选小区的标识信息,第三小区属于该多个候选小区中的一个。如果第二消息指示终端进行DAPS,则第三消息中包括第三小区的标识信息。
具体的,终端根据第一消息进行小区切换后,根据第二消息再次进行小区切换。在根据第二消息进行小区切换时,按照切换增强特性的小区切换,从第二小区切换至第三小区,其中,第二小区为该次小区切换中的源小区,第三小区为该次小区切换中的目标小区。
S505、如果第二小区发生RLF,则终端生成RLF报告,并在RLF报告中记录定时时长,其中,定时时长为终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF之间的时长。
具体的,终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区时,终端很可能还未断开与第二小区的连接,如果第二小区发生RLF,则终端接收到第二小区发生RLF的消息。终端在接收到第二小区发生RLF的消息时,生成RLF报告。
一示例中,在第二消息指示终端进行DAPS切换时,终端通过DAPS切换从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中,终端与第二小区和第三小区同时保持通信连接,直至DAPS切换完成后终端才断开与第二小区的通信连接。因此,终端与第二小区和第三小区同时保持通信连接的过程中,若第二小区发生RLF则终端相应生成RLF报告。
另一示例中,在第二消息指示终端进行CHO时,由于CHO切换中网络设备通过第二小区提前向终端发送第二消息,因此在终端监测是否有合适的候选小区可以作为目标小区的过程中,终端与第二小区保持通信连接,此时若第二小区发生RLF,则终端相应生成RLF报告,因为此时终端还在第二小区,只是收到了切换命令但是没有满足CHO执行条件,并没有实际执行切换到第三小区。
具体的,终端在生成RLF报告时,获取从终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF之间的时长,并将该时长记录为RLF报告中的定时时长
相较于在每次接收到小区切换的指示消息时重启终端的上报定时器、并在小区发生RLF时将上报定时器的值记录为RLF报告中的定时时长的方式(该方式中RLF报告中的定时时长为从终端执行小区切换操作到小区发生RLF之间的时长),本实施例 在RLF报告中记录从终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF之间的时长,更能够反映出终端上一次小区切换的稳定情况,即在接收到第一消息后进行的小区切换的稳定情况,以便在MRO过程中网络设备能够依据RLF包括中的定时时长更准确地分析出第二小区发生RLF的原因。
其中,除定时时长外,RLF报告例如还可以记录第二小区的测量结果、第二小区的标识信息、第二小区发生RLF等内容,具体可参照前述有关RLF报告的内容,再次不再赘述。
本实施例中,终端从第一小区切换至第二小区、又通过切换增强特性的小区切换从第二小区切换至第三小区,考虑到终端在切换增强特性的小区切换中,在接收到切换指示后还很可能保持与第二小区的通信连接,如果第二小区发生RLF,则终端会相应生成RLF报告,将从终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF的时长记录在RLF报告中,以提高该场景下RLF报告中定时时长的准确性,实现对RLF报告的增强。
在一些实施例中,在终端接收到第一消息时,重启终端的上报计时器;在终端接收到第二消息时,将上报定时器的值存储为第一时长,并再次重启上报定时器;如果第二小区发生RLF,则在第二小区发生RLF时,终端生成RLF报告,并获取上报定时器的值,将获取的上报定时器的值确定为第二时长;在RLF报告中记录第一时长和第二时长。
其中,第一时长为从终端接收到第一消息到终端接收到第二消息之间的时长,第二时长为从终端接收到第二消息到第二小区发生RLF之间的时长。因此,通过在终端接收到小区切换的指示消息时重启上报定时器,在重启前记录上报定时器的值,通过在RLF报告中记录多个时长,以实现在RLF中记录从终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF之间的时长。
在一些实施例中,第一消息指示终端进行非切换增强特性的小区切换的情形下,在终端接收到第一消息时,重启终端的上报定时器。在终端接收第二消息时,由于第二消息指示终端进行切换增强特性的小区切换,不重启终端的上报定时器。如果第二小区发生RLF,则终端生成RLF报告,并将上报定时器的值记录为RLF包括中的定时时长。
其中,通过在终端接收到第一消息的时候重启上报定时器、且在终端接收到第二消息时不重启上报定时器,使得第二小区发生RLF时上报定时器的值为从终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF的时长,以实现在RLF中记录从终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF之间的时长。
进一步的,在终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区完成后,再次重新重启上报定时器。因此,在接收到第二消息时不重启终端的上报定时器,在根据第二消息进行的小区切换结束后重启终端的上报定时器,避免终端在接收到第二消息时重启上报定时器导致无法通过上报定时器获得从终端接收到第一消息到第二小区发生RLF之间的时长。
一示例中,在CHO中,终端断开与第二小区之间的连接、并根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区时,可认为是终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区完成。
另一示例中,在DAPS中,终端根据第二消息从第二小区成功切换至第三小区后 终端断开与第二小区之间的连接时,可认为终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区完成。
图6为本申请另一实施例提供的小区切换方法的流程示意图。如图6所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S601、网络设备向终端发送的第二消息,第二消息用于指示终端进行切换增强特性的小区切换。
S602、终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区。
其中,S601和S602的实现原理和过程可参见前述实施例,不再赘述。
S603、网络设备如果检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中记录有RLF报告,则生成失败指示消息。
其中,失败指示消息用于小区切换的参数优化,还用于指示在切换过程中终端与小区之间发生连接失败。
一示例中,终端根据第二消息从第二小区成功切换至第三小区后,例如,网络设备可以通过第三小区向终端发送消息,以询问终端在从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中是否记录有RLF报告。
另一示例中,终端在成功切换至第三小区后,可向第三小区发送消息,以通过第三小区将终端在从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中记录有RLF报告的情况告知网络设备。
具体的,网络设备如果检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中记录有RLF报告,例如上述实施例中第二小区发生RLF时终端所生成的RLF报告,则网络设备可生成失败指示消息。
本实施例中,在切换增强特性的小区切换中,网络设备如果检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中记录有RLF报告,则生成失败指示消息,从而在未发生RRC连接重建立或建立时触发网络设备生成失败指示消息,即触发MRO,实现对失败指示消息的增强,更全面地对切换增强特性的小区切换中发生的连接失败进行MRO过程。
在一些实施例中,网络设备检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中记录有RLF报告后,如果接收到终端发送的RLF报告,则在失败指示消息中添加RLF报告,以丰富失败指示消息。
图7为本申请另一实施例提供的小区切换方法的流程示意图。如图7所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S701、网络设备向终端发送第二消息,其中,第二消息用于指示终端进行CHO,第二消息中包括多个候选小区的标识信息。
其中,S701的实现原理和过程可参见前述实施例,不再赘述。
S702、终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区,第三小区属于多个候选小区的一个小区。
具体的,终端在接收到第二消息后根据自身监测到的信息,从多个候选小区中选择第三小区作为目标小区,从第二小区切换至第三小区。
S703、如果终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中发生连接失败, 则生成RLF报告。
其中,终端在从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中发生连接失败,包括:终端从第二小区切换至第三小区时切换失败、或者终端从第二小区成功切换至第三小区后第三小区发生RLF。
具体的,如果终端从第二小区切换至第三小区时切换失败,则RLF报告中的连接失败原因为切换失败,终端失败小区为第二小区,定时时长为终端接收到第二消息到切换失败发生之间的时长。如果终端从第二小区成功切换至第三小区后第三小区发生RLF,则RLF报告中的连接失败原因为RLF,终端失败小区为第三小区,定时时长为终端接收到第二消息到第三小区发生RLF的时长。
S704、终端连接至第四小区,其中,第四小区为多个候选小区中除第三小区之外的另一个小区。
具体的,在终端从第二小区切换至第三小区发送连接失败时,终端还可继续从剩下的多个候选小区中挑选第四小区,并连接至第四小区。
S705、如果网络设备检测到终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中发生连接失败、且在连接失败后终端连接至第四小区,则网络设备在第四小区生成失败指示消息。
其中,终端连接至第四小区包括:终端成功连接至第四小区或者终端未成功连接至第四小区。
具体的,如果网络设备检测到终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中发生连接失败、且在连接失败后终端连接至第四小区,则在第四小区生成失败指示消息。
作为示例的,终端在连接至第四小区时可以指示终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中发生连接失败,或者指示终端在从第二小区切换至第三小区的过程中记载有RLF报告,网络设备在接收到指示消息后,在第四小区生成失败指示消息。
本实施例中,在CHO切换中,如果终端设备从源小区(即本实施例中的第二小区)切换至一个候选小区(即本实施例中的第三小区)失败,再连接至另一个候选小区(即本实施例中的第四小区),则网络设备在该另一候选小区生成失败指示消息,从而在CHO选择另一个候选小区进行连接而未发生RRC连接重建立或建立时,触发网络设备生成失败指示消息,即触发MRO,实现对失败指示消息的增强,更全面地对CHO中发生的连接失败进行MRO过程。
在一些实施例中,如果终端成功连接至第四小区,则终端可将RLF报告发送至第四小区,网络设备将通过第四小区接收到的RLF报告添加至失败指示消息,以丰富失败指示消息的内容。
在一些实施例中,如果网络设备检测到终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区时切换失败,例如RLF报告中的终端失败小区为第二小区,则网络设备通过第四小区将失败指示消息发送给第二小区;和/或,如果网络设备检测到终端根据第二消息从第二小区成功切换至第三小区后第三小区发送RLF,例如RLF报告中的终端失败小区为第三小区,则网络设备通过第四小区将失败指示消息发送给第三小区。因此,将 失败指示消息发送给发生失败的小区,以便在相应的小区进行切换参数的优化。
在一些实施例中,失败指示消息包括如下一项或多项:终端在CHO中连接的候选小区的标识信息、终端在CHO中与候选小区是否连接成功、终端在CHO中与候选小区连接成功后在候选小区的驻留信息、RLF报告、终端的标识信息。其中,终端的标识信息包括:终端在CHO中连接成功的目标小区内的标识信息,和/或,终端在CHO中的源小区内的标识信息。
可选的,终端在CHO中与候选小区连接成功后在候选小区的驻留信息用于指示终端与候选小区连接成功后是否稳定驻留,因此驻留信息可以包括是否稳定驻留的结果,例如“是”或“否”,也可以是驻留的时长。
其中,在一个小区内,不同的终端在该小区内的标识信息唯一。
以图7所示实施例为例,如果终端在从第二小区切换至第三小区时切换失败并在失败后成功连接至第四小区,则失败指示消息包括如下一项或多项:第三小区的标识信息、终端与第三小区连接失败的失败标识、RLF报告、终端的标识信息,其中,终端的标识信息包括终端在第四小区的标识信息和/或终端在第二小区的标识信息。
以图7所示实施例为例,如果终端在第二小区成功切换至第三小区后第三小区发生RLF并在失败后成功连接至第四小区,则失败指示消息包括如下一项或多项:第三小区的标识信息、终端与第三小区连接成功的成功标识、终端在第三小区的驻留信息、RLF报告、终端的标识信息,其中,终端的标识信息包括终端在第四小区的标识信息和/或终端在第二小区的标识信息。
以图6所示实施例为例,如果终端在通过传统切换从第一小区切换至第二小区、又通过CHO从第二小区切换至第三小区,在通过CHO从第二小区切换成第三小区时第二小区发生RLF、且终端成功切换至第三小区,则失败指示消息包括如下一项或多项:第三小区的标识信息、终端与第三小区连接成功的成功标识、终端在第三小区的驻留信息、RLF报告、终端的标识信息,其中,终端的标识信息包括终端在第三小区的标识信息和/或终端在第二小区的标识信息。
结合网络设备在终端与小区进行RRC连接重建立、RRC连接建立、CHO中连接至候选小区时会生成相应的识别指示消息,作为示例的,失败指示消息如下表所示:
Figure PCTCN2022071025-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2022071025-appb-000004
在一些实施例中,网络设备在通过第四小区生成失败指示消息后,还可以根据失败指示消息,生成切换报告消息,其中,切换报告消息包括失败原因,失败原因包括如下一项或多项:切换过早、切换过晚、切换到错误小区,切换报告消息还包括如下一项或多项:终端在CHO中连接的候选小区的标识信息、终端在CHO中与候选小区是否连接成功、终端在CHO中与候选小区连接成功后在候选小区的驻留信息、RLF报告。因此,在切换报告消息中增加了有关CHO切换的内容,使得CHO中终端与一候选小区连接失败后再连接至另一候选小区后,能够针对CHO中终端与候选小区发生的连接失败生成相应的失败指示消息和切换报告消息。
其中,在RLF报告中的终端失败小区为第二小区时,网络设备通过第四小区将失败指示消息发送给第二小区,并在第二小区根据失败指示消息生成切换报告消息。在RLF报告中的终端失败小区为第三小区时,网络设备通过第四小区将失败指示消息发送给第三小区,并在第三小区根据失败指示消息生成切换报告消息。
可选的,网络设备在第三小区生成切换报告消息时,还可通过第三小区将切换报告消息发送给第二小区,以便第二小区在根据过早切换、过晚切换或者切换至错误小区进行切换参数调整。
结合网络设备可以根据在RRC连接重建立对应的失败指示消息、RRC建立对应的失败指示消息、CHO中终端连接至候选小区时对应的失败指示消息生成对应的切换报告消息,作为示例的,切换报告消息如下表所示:

图8为本申请另一实施例提供的小区切换方法的流程示意图。如图8所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S801、网络设备向终端发送第二消息,其中,第二消息用于指示终端进行DAPS,第二消息中包括DAPS中目标小区的标识信息。
S802、终端根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区,其中,第三小区为DAPS切换中的目标小区。
S803、如果第二小区发生RLF,则终端生成RLF报告。
其中,S801~S803的实现过程可参照前述实施例的描述,不再赘述。
S804、终端成功切换至第三小区后,将RLF报告发送给网络设备。
例如,终端成功切换至第三小区后,可通过第三小区向网络设备发送指示消息,以指示终端上在从第二小区切换至第三小区时记录有RLF报告,网络设备接收到该指示消息后,向终端发送获取请求,以请求获取RLF报告。终端响应于该请求,向网络设备发送RLF报告。
S805、网络设备在第三小区生成失败指示消息,并在失败指示消息中添加RLF报告,其中,RLF报告指示DAPS切换中第二小区发生RLF。
具体的,终端在进行DAPS切换时第二小区发生RLF,虽然终端已成功连接至第三小区,无需进行RRC连接重建立或RRC连接建立,但针对第二小区发生RLF也需要切换参数的优化。因此,网络设备如果检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区时记录有RLF报告、或者检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区时第二小区发生RLF,则生成失败指示消息。网络设备在接收到终端发送的RLF报告时,将RLF报告添加至失败指示消息。
可选的,如果终端未能成功连接至第三小区,则网络设备无法接收到终端发送的RLF报告,网络设备可在检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区时记录有RLF报告、或者检测到终端在根据第二消息从第二小区切换至第三小区时第二小区发生RLF的情形下,生成失败指示消息,此时失败指示消息中不包括RLF报告。
S806、网络设备通过第三小区将失败指示消息发送给第二小区。
具体的,在RLF报告指示DAPS切换中第二小区发生RLF的情形下,或者网络设备检测到终端在从第二小区切换至第三小区时第二小区发生RLF的情形下,此时发生连接失败的小区为第二小区,网络设备通过第三小区将失败指示消息发送给第二小区,以在第二小区进行切换参数优化。
本实施例中,在DAPS切换中,如果终端设备从源小区(即本实施例中的第二小区)成功切换至目标小区(即本实施例中的第三小区)、但终端与源小区断开连接之前源小区发生RLF,则网络设备在目标小区生成失败指示消息并将失败指示消息发送给源小区,从而在未发生RRC连接重建立或建立时,触发网络设备生成失败指示消息,即触发MRO,实现对失败指示消息的增强,更全面地对DAPS中的连接失败进行MRO 过程。
结合网络设备可以根据在RRC连接重建立、RRC建立、CHO中终端连接至候选小区、DAPS切换失败(包括源小区发生RLF)时都会生成失败指示消息,作为示例的,失败指示消息如下表所示:
Figure PCTCN2022071025-appb-000007
在一些实施例中,网络设备在通过第三小区生成失败指示消息后,还可以根据失败指示消息,生成切换报告消息,其中,切换报告消息包括DAPS切换中的目标小区的标识信息,从而在切换报告消息中增加DAPS切换中的目标小区的标识信息,提高切换报告消息的完备性。例如,终端在通过DAPS切换从第二小区切换至第三小区之前从第一小区切换至第二小区,在DAPS切换中第二小区发生RLF,可能是从第一小区切换至第二小区时切换至错误小区,在切换报告消息中加入DAPS切换中的目标小区,向第一小区告知该目标小区为适合切换的小区的作用。
结合网络设备可以根据在RRC连接重建立对应的失败指示消息、RRC建立对应的失败指示消息、CHO中终端连接至候选小区时对应的失败指示消息、DAPS切换失败对应的失败指示消息生成切换报告消息,作为示例的,切换报告消息如下表所示:
