9. Indoor station. Statistics show that the traffic of indoor scenes accounts for about 70%, that is, the time when people use data a lot is indoors. All, mobile communication operators have been trying to intervene in indoor scenarios, that is, they hope that people will also use the mobile operator's network when they are indoors, instead of using wireless high-fidelity Wi-Fi + fixed network broadband. For example, a home base station or an evolved home base station (Home Evolved Node basestation, H(e)NB). With the further development of research, on the basis of H(e)NB, the following scenarios are expanded and formed: outdoor Picocell (picocell, picocell), indoor Picocell (picocell, picocell), outdoor Microcell (microcell) station, micro cell), while the home deployment of H(e)NB is called Femtocell (flying station, femtocell). The above-mentioned flying stations, pico stations and micro stations are collectively referred to as indoor small cells.

At present, as shown in Figure 1a, the New Radio (NR) protocol version 18 (Release 18, R18) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has also started research related to indoor small cells The subject, called indoor 5G (5G-Resident) in this subject, realizes indoor coverage enhancement through the premise wireless access station PRAS and premise/home gateway eRG. For related content, please refer to TR 22.858Study of Enhancements for Residential 5G.

Core Network.

Whether it is the indoor small cell small cell in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system or the (PRAS+eRG) researched by NR R18, mobile operators are supported to directly deploy H(e)NB/(PRAS+eRG) , and users purchase and deploy H(e)NB/(PRAS+eRG) by themselves.

As shown in Figure 1c, the cell using the frequency domain resource F1 partially overlaps the cell using the frequency domain resource F2. Regarding the frequency resources used by the small cell (small cell), if the mobile operator has abundant frequency resources, try to use inter-frequency deployment. , that is, the macro station and the small station use different frequencies. For example, in Figure 3, the macro station uses the frequency F2, and the small station uses F1; otherwise, the same frequency deployment can be used, that is, the F1 used by the macro station and the small station are used. The frequency F2 is the same. Then, in a heterogeneous network, if the macro station and the small station use the same frequency, interference between the macro station and the small station is bound to be caused. The frequency resource usage strategy of the small station in the prior art is as follows: after the small station is powered on, it first automatically scans the frequency points it supports through the network detection function, and selects the frequency point with relatively less interference for use; in the subsequent use process, the interference coordination technology ( For example, eICIC) performs interference coordination and resource adjustment with macro stations.

At present, the wireless access mechanism based on unlicensed spectrum has been standardized, such as New Radio in Unlicensed Spectrum (NR-U, also known as unlicensed spectrum), then the indoor small cell (also known as the fifth The 5th-Generation (5G) access point (Acess Point AP) works by using unlicensed spectrum based on NR-U to achieve indoor coverage. However, only using the unlicensed spectrum cannot achieve a good user experience. For example, the unlicensed spectrum may be highly competitive and cannot meet the user's application requirements, or the user's mobile phone cannot support the NR-U mechanism. At this time, the indoor small station cannot meet the user's usage requirements.

In response to the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a resource indication method and related apparatus, in order to improve the flexibility and comprehensiveness of network equipment in configuring user equipment for available resources for wireless communication, and improve the network access efficiency of user equipment.

It can be seen that, in this example, the network device supports sending a resource switching instruction to other devices to trigger the user equipment to switch to the first resource communication.

The resource indication method in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific application scenarios.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the access point is a 5G AP, and the access network device is the donor base station Donor gNB. For a business scenario in which the 5G AP requests the Donor gNB to allocate authorized resources, the resource indication method in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

Step 301, the UE sends a first resource request to the 5G AP, where the first resource request is used to request a second resource, and the second resource is an available resource used by the user equipment for wireless communication, and the second resource is the same as the second resource. The first resources overlap partially or completely.

In some embodiments, the triggering manner for the UE to send the first resource request to the 5G AP includes any one of the following:

In mode (1), when the UE uses unlicensed resources, the data transmission requirement cannot be met, for example, the transmission bandwidth is smaller than the preset transmission bandwidth.

In mode (2), the UE cannot preempt the transmission resource, or the time consuming to preempt the transmission resource is longer than a preset time period.

The above is only an example of the triggering method for the UE to send the first resource request to the 5G AP, and the embodiment of this application does not limit the triggering method for the UE to send the first resource request to the 5G AP.

Exemplarily, the first resource request may be carried in the UE Assistance Information message of the user equipment assistance information.

Exemplarily, the first resource request includes first reference information, where the first reference information is used to indicate the frequency spectrum supported by the user equipment (for example: frequency band information of licensed resources, and/or frequency band information of unlicensed resources) .

Step 302, after receiving the first resource request, the 5G AP sends the first resource request to the Donor NB.

For example, the 5G AP may or may not process the first resource request, and send the processed or unprocessed first resource request.

Specifically, if the 5G AP processes the first resource request, second reference information may be added to the first resource request, where the second reference information is used to indicate the frequency spectrum supported by the access point AP (for example: frequency band information of authorized resources , and/or frequency band information for unlicensed resources).

Exemplarily, the second resource may be an authorized resource, an unauthorized resource, or a combination of an authorized resource and an unauthorized resource. The first resource request may indicate a request for a resource, and specifically includes indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate an inclination to request an authorized resource or an inclination to request an unauthorized resource.

Specifically, after the Donor gNB receives the resource request, step 303 is performed, or step 304 is performed.

Step 303, the Donor NB sends a second resource indication to the 5G AP, where the second resource indication is used to reject the first resource request.

Exemplarily, the second resource indication may be carried in an RRC reconfiguration Reconfiguration message, or a downlink radio resource control message transmission DL RRC Message Transfer message.

Step 304, the Donor NB sends a first resource indication to the 5G AP, where the first resource indication is used to indicate a first resource, and the first resource is an available resource used by the user equipment for wireless communication.

Specifically, before the Donor gNB sends the first resource indication to the 5G AP, the Donor gNB determines the first resource indication, where the first resource indication is used to indicate the first resource, and the first resource is used by the user equipment for Available resources for wireless communication.

In some embodiments, the Donor NB determines the first resource indication according to the first reference information in the first resource request and/or the second reference information in the first resource request.

In some embodiments, the Donor NB determines the first resource indication according to a quality of service parameter.

In some embodiments, the Donor NB determines the first resource indication according to resource load information of the user equipment, where the resource load information is used to indicate the current resource usage of the user equipment. For example, the first resource is an authorized carrier resource. After obtaining the authorized carrier resource, the 5G AP can trigger some UEs to perform carrier switching, switching from the NR-U mode to the licensed spectrum assisted access ((Licensed-Assisted Access, LAA) model.

In some embodiments, if the 5G AP and the Donor gNB are based on a Centralized Unit-Distributed Unit (CU-DU) separation architecture (the 5G AP is equivalent to DU, and the Donor gNB is equivalent to CU), then the The first resource request may be carried in the uplink radio resource control message transmission UL RRC Message Transfer message; the second resource indication or the first resource indication may be carried in the RRC reconfiguration Reconfiguration message, or the downlink radio resource control message transmission DL RRC Message Transfer message.

In some embodiments, if the 5G AP and the Donor gNB are based on the Xn interface (the 5G AP and the Donor gNB are equivalent to two base stations communicating), the Xn message is used between the 5G AP and the Donor gNB to transmit the first resource request, the third a resource indication and a second resource indication.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment of the present application, since the first resource indicated by the first resource indication is an available resource used by the user equipment for wireless communication, the Donor gNB can configure the first resource for the user equipment through the first resource indication, and the user The device uses the first resource for network access, which helps to improve the flexibility and comprehensiveness of the network device in configuring the available resources of the user equipment for wireless communication, and improves the network access efficiency of the user equipment. It should be noted that the donor base station (Donor gNB) and the 5G AP in this embodiment are only exemplary titles. The donor base station mainly means that the 5G AP accesses the core network through the base station, and the 5G AP means the access point device, which is not enough. As a restriction, it can also have another name.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the access point is a 5G AP, the access network device is Donor gNB, and the core network device is AMF. For the business scenario where the 5G AP requests the Donor gNB to allocate authorized resources, the resource indication method in the embodiment of the present application includes the following step:

Step 401, the UE sends a first resource request to the 5G AP, where the first resource request is used to request a second resource, and the second resource is an available resource used by the user equipment for wireless communication, and the second resource is the same as the second resource. The first resources overlap partially or completely.

For example, in step 401, the triggering method for the UE to send the first resource request to the 5G AP may refer to step 301 in FIG. 3, which will not be repeated here.

Step 402, after receiving the first resource request, the 5G AP sends the first resource request to the AMF.

Specifically, after the AMF receives the resource request, step 403 is performed, or step 404 is performed.

Step 403, the AMF sends a second resource indication to the 5G AP, where the second resource indication is used to reject the first resource request.

Further, in some embodiments, the AMF sends the second resource indication to the Donor gNB. Alternatively, after receiving the second resource indication, the 5G AP processes or does not process the second resource indication, and sends the second resource indication to the Donor gNB.

Step 404, the AMF sends a first resource indication to the 5G AP, where the first resource indication is used to indicate a first resource, and the first resource is an available resource used by the user equipment for wireless communication.

Specifically, before the AMF sends the first resource indication to the 5G AP, the AMF determines the first resource indication, where the first resource indication is used to indicate the first resource, and the first resource is used by the user equipment for wireless communication available resources.

In some embodiments, the AMF determines the first resource indication according to the first reference information in the first resource request and/or the second reference information in the first resource request.

In some embodiments, the AMF determines the first resource indication based on a quality of service parameter.

In some embodiments, the AMF determines the first resource indication according to resource load information of the user equipment, where the resource load information is used to indicate the current resource usage of the user equipment.

Further, in some embodiments, the AMF sends the first resource indication to the Donor gNB. Or, after receiving the first resource indication, the 5G AP processes or does not process the first resource indication, and sends the first resource indication to the Donor gNB.

For example, the first resource is an authorized carrier resource. After obtaining the authorized carrier resource, the 5G AP can trigger some UEs to perform carrier switching, switching from the NR-U mode to the licensed spectrum assisted access ((Licensed-Assisted Access, LAA) model.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment of the present application, since the first resource indicated by the first resource indication is an available resource used by the user equipment for wireless communication, the AMF can configure the first resource for the user equipment through the first resource indication, and the user equipment Using the first resource for network access is beneficial to improve the flexibility and comprehensiveness of the network equipment in configuring the available resources of the user equipment for wireless communication, and improve the network access efficiency of the user equipment.

As shown in Figure 5, the access point is a 5G AP, the access network equipment is Donor gNB, and the core network equipment includes AMF and SMF. The main idea of this example is that the Donor gNB is responsible for determining whether to allocate authorized resources. The resources in the embodiments of this application The instruction method includes the following steps:

Step 501, the UE sends a protocol data unit session establishment request PDU Session Establishment Request message to the AMF.

Specifically, in order to establish a new PDU session, the UE generates a new PDU session ID, and carries the PDU Session Establishment Request message through the NAS message.

Step 502, after receiving the PDU Session Establishment Request message, the AMF selects the SMF for the PDU session according to the data network name DNN, etc.

Step 503, the AMF sends a PDU session context creation request (Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request) message to the SMF.

Step 504, after receiving the Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request, the SMF sends a PDU session context creation request response (Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request Response) message to the AMF.

Step 505, after receiving the PDU session context creation request response message, the AMF sends the N2 layer N2 PDU Session Request (NAS msg, N2 PDU session request) message or the PDU Session resource creation request Resource Setup Request message to the 5G AP.

Specifically, after receiving the N2 PDU Session Request (NAS msg) message or the PDU Session Resource Setup Request, the Donor gNB determines that authorization resources need to be allocated, and sends the UE Context Modification Request message (carrying the authorization resource information to the 5G AP) Licensed ResourceInfo).

Exemplarily, the authorized resource information is used to indicate the allocated authorized resources.

In some embodiments, the Donor gNB may specifically determine that the authorized resources need to be allocated according to the QoS of the PDU session during the PDU session establishment process or the PDU session modification process. Specifically, a QoS parameter threshold can be defined. When the QoS parameter of the PDU session of the user equipment is higher than the QoS parameter threshold, the Donor gNB allocates authorized resources for the PDU sessino.

For example, in the method for allocating authorized resources, an allowedServingCells field may be added to a certain data radio bearer (Data Radio Bearer, DRB), and the field contains information of authorized cells.

In some embodiments, the licensed resource may be a licensed carrier, or may be a part of the licensed carrier. That is, the Donor gNB only allocates a part of the resources of an authorized carrier to the 5G AP, such as a continuous physical resource block (Physical ResourceBlock, PRB, plural PRBs), and/or the valid time of the continuous PRBs. The authorized resources may be configured in the manner of the bandwidth part BWP of the authorized carrier.

Step 506, after receiving the UE Context Modification Request message, the 5G AP sends a UE Context Modification Response message to the Donor gNB.

Step 507: After receiving the UE Context Modification Response message, the Donor gNB sends a downlink DL RRC MESSAGE to the 5G AP and forwards the TRANSFER message (for example: RRC reconfiguration Reconfiguration message (carrying authorized resource information Licensed ResourceInfo)).

Step 508, after receiving the DL RRC Message Transfer message, the 5G AP sends an RRC Reconfiguration message to the user equipment.

Step 509, after receiving the RRC Reconfiguration message, the user equipment sends an RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the 5G AP.

Step 510, after receiving the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message, the 5G AP sends an uplink UL RRC Message Transfer message (for example, including the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message) to the Donor gNB.

Step 511: After receiving the UL RRC Message Transfer message, the Donor gNB sends an N2 PDU session response message N2 PDU session Response (NAS meg) message/PDU Session resource establishment response message PUD Session Resource Setup Response message to the AMF.

For example, the resource allocation information sent by the Donor gNB to the UE may only carry the carrier information of the authorized resources, because the actual available resources on the authorized carrier are controlled by the 5G AP according to the allocation of the Donor gNB. First, in order to optimize the control channel monitoring of the UE, the actually available authorized resources, such as a BWP on the authorized carrier, are notified.

It can be seen that in this example, the Donor gNB can determine whether to allocate authorized resources according to QoS during the PDU session establishment process or the PDU session modification process, and indicate the authorized resources through the PDU session modification process.

As shown in Figure 6, the access point is a 5G AP, the access network equipment is Donor gNB, and the core network equipment includes AMF and SMF. The main idea of this example is that the UE is responsible for requesting resources. The resource indication method in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

Step 601, the UE sends a PDU Session Establishment Request message (carrying a Licensed Resource Request message) to the AMF.

Specifically, the UE carries the Licensed Resource Request message in the PDU Session Establishment Request message, and hopes to allocate authorized resources for the established PDU session. The Licensed Resource Request message is also called the authorized resource request indication. Licensed Resourcerequest indication message/information/signaling, etc., called The law does not make a unique limitation.

In some embodiments, the UE may also transmit the Licensed Resource Request message in the PDU session modification process. This process is similar to the PDU session establishment process and will not be repeated here. For example, the Licensed Resource Request message is carried in the PDU Session Modifacation Request, requesting to configure authorized resources for the corresponding PDU session. The subsequent process is similar to the PDU session establishment process.

For example, if the Licensed Resource Request message is sent to the SMF, then the SMF synchronizes the Licensed Resource Request message to the AMF.

For example, if the 5G AP is directly connected to the AMF, then the AMF is responsible for allocating authorized resources for the 5G AP.

For example, if the 5G AP is connected to a Donor gNB, the AMF sends an authorized resource request indication to the Donor gNB, and the Donor gNB is responsible for allocating the authorized resources. However, because the RRC reconfiguration message is encrypted and cannot be decrypted by the 5G AP, the Donor gNB also needs to synchronize the allocation of authorized resources to the 5G AP.

In some embodiments, the specific implementation manner of the UE sending the PDU Session Establishment Request message to the AMF includes (the legend is not shown):

Step 601.1, the UE sends the uplink information transmission UL Information Transfer message (bearing the PDU Session Establishment Request message) to the 5G AP;

Step 601.2, after receiving the UL RRC Message Transfer message, the 5G AP sends the UL RRC Message Transfer message (bearing the UL Information Transfer message) to the Donor gNB.

Step 601.3, after receiving the UL RRC Message Transfer message, the Donor gNB sends a PDU Session Establishment Request message to the AMF.

Step 602, after receiving the PDU Session Establishment Request message, the AMF selects the SMF for the PDU session according to the data network name DNN, etc.

Step 603, the AMF sends a PDU session context creation request Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request message to the SMF.

Step 604, after receiving the PDU session context creation request Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request, the SMF sends a PDU session context creation request response Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request Response message to the AMF.

Step 605: After receiving the Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request Response message, the AMF sends an N2 PDU Session Request (NAS msg) message (bearing the Licensed Resource Request message) to the Donor gNB, or sends a PDU Session Resource Creation Request Session to the Donor gNB Resource Setup Request message (carrying the Licensed Resource Request message for authorized resource request).

For example, the AMF notifies the Donor gNB to allocate authorized resources for the corresponding PDU session.

Step 606, after the Donor gNB receives the N2 PDU session request message or the PDU session resource creation request message, it sends a user equipment context modification request UE context modification request Context Modification Request message (bearing the authorized resource information Licensed ResourceInfo) to the 5G AP.

In some embodiments, the manner in which the Donor gNB determines the allocated authorized resources includes, but is not limited to, any of the following:

Mode (1), the Donor gNB determines the allocated authorized resources according to the first reference information in the Licensed Resource Request message and/or the second reference information in the first resource request.

In mode (2), the Donor gNB determines the allocated authorized resources according to the service quality parameter.

In mode (3), the Donor gNB determines the allocated authorized resources according to the resource load information of the user equipment, and the resource load information is used to indicate the current resource usage of the user equipment.

Step 607, after receiving the UE context modification request message, the 5G AP sends a UE Context Modification Response message to the Donor gNB.

Step 608, after the Donor gNB receives the user equipment context modification response message, it sends a downlink RRC message to the 5G AP and forwards the DL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER message (for example: RRC reconfiguration Reconfiguration message (carrying authorized resource information Licensed ResourceInfo)).

For example, Donor gNB configures authorized resources to 5G AP.

For example, the Donor gNB allocates authorized resources to the DRBs of the corresponding PDU session through the RRC reconfiguration message.

Step 609, after receiving the downlink RRC message forwarding message, the 5G AP sends an RRC reconfiguration RRC Reconfiguration message to the user equipment.

Step 610, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration message, the user equipment sends an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the 5G AP.

Step 611, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration complete message, the 5G AP sends an uplink RRC message to the Donor gNB and forwards a UL RRC Message Transfer message (for example, an RRC Reconfiguration Complete message).

Step 612, after receiving the uplink RRC message forwarding message, the Donor gNB sends an N2 PDU session response session Response (NAS meg) message/PUD session resource creation response Session Resource Setup Response message to the AMF.

It can be seen that in this example, the UE is responsible for requesting resources, the Donor gNB determines the allocated authorized resources, and sends the authorized resource information to the 5G AP. Finally, the 5G AP configures the authorized resources for the user equipment and initiates RRC reconfiguration. This enables the UE to access authorized resources and improves the network access efficiency of the UE.

As shown in Figure 7, the access point is a 5G AP, the access network equipment is Donor gNB, and the core network equipment includes AMF and SMF. The main idea of this example is that the 5G AP periodically opens a cell based on authorized resources for non-supporting UE access of licensed spectrum NR-U. The resource indication method in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

Step 701, the 5G AP sends the configuration information of the first cell.

Specifically, before the 5G AP sends the configuration information of the first cell, the 5G AP determines the configuration information of the first cell based on the first authorized resource in the first resource configuration period.

Exemplarily, the first resource configuration period is the current resource configuration period.

In some examples, the configuration methods of information such as the period, duration, frequency domain location of authorized resources, and bandwidth of the first resource configuration period include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following:

Mode (1), pre-configuration, eg, protocol agreement.

Mode (2) is configured by the Donor gNB. Specifically, the Donor gNB sends the configuration information of the first authorized resource to the 5G AP.

In mode (3), the 5G AP actively requests the configuration of other devices. For example, the 5G AP sends a resource configuration acquisition request to the Donor gNB, and the resource configuration acquisition request is used to acquire the configuration information of the first authorized resource. After the Donor gNB receives the resource configuration acquisition request, it sends a resource configuration acquisition response (bearing the configuration information of the first authorized resource) to the 5G AP.

Exemplarily, the sending manner of the configuration information of the first cell includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following: broadcast, multicast, and directional sending.

For example, the duration of the 5G AP opening the first cell covers at least one registration time, so that if a UE in the idle IDLE state camps on the cell, the 5G AP can periodically register to let the 5G AP know that it is under the serving cell of the first authorized resource. There are UEs that need service.

Step 702, after detecting the configuration information of the first cell, the user equipment camps on or switches to the first cell.

It can be seen that in this example, the 5G AP supports periodic determination of the serving cell based on authorized resources, and sends the configuration information of the serving cell to facilitate user equipment camping or handover, and improve the efficiency of UE network access.

As shown in Figure 8, the access point is a 5G AP, the access network equipment is Donor gNB, and the core network equipment includes AMF. In this example, the method for releasing authorized resources is mainly considered. The method for releasing authorized resources provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

Step 801, the user equipment sends a resource release request to the 5G AP, where the resource release request is used to request to release the first authorized resource.

In some embodiments, if the user equipment does not use the first authorized resource within the first time period, it is triggered to send a resource release request to the 5G AP.

Step 802, after receiving the resource release request, the 5G AP sends the resource release request to the Donor NB.

Step 803: After receiving the resource release request, the Donor NB releases the first authorized resource.

In some embodiments, the implementation manner of the Donor gNB releasing the first authorized resource includes any one of the following:

Mode (1), release the first PDU session. Specifically, the Donor gNB interacts with the SMF to release the tunnel of the first PDU session.

Mode (2), associate the resources of the first PDU session with the unauthorized resources. Specifically, the Donor gNB configures the second unauthorized resource for the first PDU session.

Step 804, the Donor gNB sends a resource release indication to the 5G AP, where the resource release indication is used to instruct to release the first PDU session, or to instruct to switch to a second unlicensed resource.

Exemplarily, the resource release indication is carried in the PDU session modification request message.

Step 805: After receiving the resource release indication, the 5G AP sends an RRC reconfiguration message (bearing the resource release indication) to the user equipment.

Step 806, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration message, the user equipment releases the first PDU session, or switches the first PDU session to the second unlicensed resource.

Step 807, the user equipment sends an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the 5G AP.

Step 808, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration complete message, the 5G AP sends the RRC reconfiguration complete message to the Donor gNB.

Step 809: After receiving the RRC reconfiguration complete message, the Donor gNB sends an N2 PDU session Response (NAS meg) message/PUD Session Resource Setup Response message to the AMF.

It can be seen that in this example, the user equipment actively requests the release of the first authorized resource, and the 5G AP and the Donor gNB determine to release the first authorized resource, and instruct the user equipment to perform a corresponding release operation to improve the efficiency of the user equipment to release the authorized resources.
