Description

一种传输系统信息SI的方法和装置
本申请要求于2021年05月09日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202110504160.X、申请名称为“一种传输系统信息SI的方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及通信领域中一种传输系统信息SI的方法和装置。
背景技术
为了提高小区的覆盖,引入了终端设备到网络设备的中继技术,即“UE-to-Network relay”的通信系统,该通信系统可以包括无线接入设备、远端设备(remote user equipment,remote UE)以及中继设备(relay UE)等。其中,relay UE和无线接入设备之间建立通信连接,remote UE和relay UE之间建立侧行链路(sidelink,SL)连接,且remote UE可以通过relay UE和无线接入设备建立连接,获取网络服务。relay UE和无线接入设备之间可以通过Uu接口进行通信,remote UE和relay UE之间通过PC5接口进行通信。
示例性的,以基站作为无线接入设备,基站可以向relay UE广播系统信息(system information,SI),remote UE如何从relay UE获取SI是当前需要解决的问题。
一种可能的实现方式中,remote UE可以通过PC5接口的无线资源控制(PC5radio resource control,PC5-RRC)消息或PC5-S信令(PC5-S signling,PC5-S)向relay UE请求获取SI,即“on-demand SI”的方式,再由relay UE向基站请求SI,relay UE得到基站广播的SI后,将SI通过SL上的单播通信发送给remote UE。
当一个relay UE连接了多个remote UE,多个remote UE向relay UE请求相同的SI时,每个remote UE都需要通过PC5-RRC消息向relay UE请求该SI,然后relay UE需要将同样的SI在SL上,通过单播通信的方式发送给每一个remote UE。该SI的传输过程需要为relay UE和每个remote UE的单播通信分配sidelink资源,这可能会占用较多的SL资源,造成SL资源浪费,且传输效率低下。因此,relay UE如何向remote UE转发SI,是当前亟需解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种传输系统信息SI的方法和装置,该方法可以在SL上通过组播或广播的方式传输SI,提升了SI的传输效率和更新效率。
第一方面,提供了一种传输信息的方法,其特征在于,所述方法应用于包括第一终端设备和一个或多个第二终端设备的系统中,所述第一终端设备和每个第二终端设备建立侧行链路SL连接,且所述每个第二终端设备通过所述第一终端设备获取目标小区的网络服务,所述目标小区是所述第一终端设备的服务小区,所述方法包括:
所述第一终端设备接收所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送的第一请求消息,所述第一请求消息用于请求获取所述目标小区的M个系统信息块SIB或系统信息SI消息;
所述第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息对应的N个目标标识,N为大于或等 于1的整数且N≤M;
所述第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送第二消息,所述第二消息包括所述M个SIB或SI消息,且所述第二消息包括对应的目标标识。
应理解,remote UE可以向relay UE发送第一请求消息,用于请求获取自己所需要的系统信息。具体地,该第一请求消息可以用于一个或多个remote UE请求所需要的M个SI message,或者该第一请求消息可以用于一个或多个remote UE请求所需要的M个SIB,每个remote UE请求的系统消息可以是M个SI message中的一个或多个SI message,或者每个remote UE请求的系统消息可以是M个SIB中的一个或者多个SIB,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,所述第二消息可以代表一个消息,例如第二消息是一个广播消息,即广播消息中包括所述一个或多个第二终端设备请求的所有的M个SIB或SI message。
或者,所述第二消息还可以代表多个消息,例如所述第二消息对应多个组播消息,即多个组播消息中包括所述一个或多个第二终端设备请求的所有的M个SIB或SI message,且每一个组播消息可能包括当前的第二终端设备请求的某个或者某几个SIB或SI message,每个组播消息中包含的SIB和SI同属于一个分组。
在本申请的相关描述中,“发送所述第二消息”和“发送M个SIB或SI message”表达相同的含义,即第一终端设备通过发送一个或多个消息的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所请求的SIB或SI message。应理解,不论是第二消息作为一个消息,或者对应多个独立的不同消息,均落入本申请实施例的保护范围,后续不再赘述。
综上所述,通过本申请提供的方法,relay UE可以以组播消息的方式或广播消息的方式向一个或多个remote UE发送的SI message或者发送SIB。示例性的,当relay UE以广播消息的方式向一个或多个remote UE发送的SI message或者发送SIB时,避免了relay UE通过单播通信占用更多的SL资源向多个remote UE发送系统信息,从而节省通信资源。
或者,当relay UE接收到一个或多个remote UE发送的SI请求,请求获取SI message或SIB,relay UE可以将所有的SI message或SIB归为一组并为该组分配组播标识L2ID,并通过单播的方式将此组播标识L2ID发送给每一个remote UE。或者,将所有的SI message或SIB归为多个组(例如N组)并为每一组分配一个组播标识L2ID,并通过单播的方式将此组播标识L2ID和SI message或SIB之间的第一映射关系发送给每一个remote UE。后续relay UE可以通过在SL上发送组播消息的方式向该一个或多个remote UE发送SI,提升了SI的发送效率。此外,当组播标识发生变化或SI发生变化时,relay UE还可以维护组播标识L2ID和SI message或SIB之间的第一映射关系的信息,在SL上通过单播的方式通知相关的remote UE,进一步提升了SI的发送效率和更新效率。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一请求消息可以通过侧行链路上的无线资源控制RRC信令,或媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)-控制元素(control element,CE),或通过侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI),或PC5-S信令(PC5-S signaling)发送。例如,remote UE可以通过PC5-RRC信令给relay UE发送系统消息请求。
结合第一方面,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息对应的N个目标标识,包括:
所述第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识,所述目标 标识指示通过广播方式发送所述M个SIB或SI消息;或者
所述第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息中的每一个SIB或SI消息对应不同的目标标识,所述目标标识指示通过组播方式发送所述M个SIB或SI消息;或者
所述第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息中的K个SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识,1≤K<M,所述目标标识指示通过组播方式发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
对于组播来说,应用层会提供该组播标识的信息,relay UE可以将该组播标识转换成DST ID;如果未提供该组播标识的信息,则relay UE可以使用广播机制中业务类型到DST ID的映射关系来进行确定。
通过上述方式,当remote UE以on-demand的方式向relay UE请求获取SI时,relay UE可以通过组播方式向remote UE下发SI,其中remote UE可以将relay UE请求获取的所有的M个SI message划分为N组,并为每一组分配一个组播标识L2ID,以便remote UE使用该不同的组播标识L2ID接收不同组的SI message。
可选地,还可以由基站根据历史系统消息请求信息进行分组,例如,基站可以根据历史信息将通常一起请求的系统消息划分为一个组,再将分组信息告知给relay UE,再由relay UE为不同的分组分配L2ID,也可以由基站分配L2ID,并将分组和L2ID的对应关系告知给relay UE,最后,relay UE直接应用该基站配置的映射关系。
另外,relay UE还可以按需更新分组方式,例如根据当前或者最近一段时间内的remote UE的系统消息请求情况,将remote UE同时请求的SIB消息或者SI消息尽量划分为一个组,以便于在同一个组播消息中能够下发给remote UE。例如,remote UE1请求了SI message 1和SI message 2,remote UE2请求了SI message 2和SI message 3,则可以将SI message1、SI message2和SI message3划分为一个组。若是过了一段时间,relay UE发现remote UE不再同时请求SI message 1和SI message 2或者SI message 2和SI message 3,则将分组以及映射关系进行相应更新。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,当所述M个SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识时,所述目标标识是预设的标识。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,当所述M个SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识时,所述第二消息还包括所述第一终端设备的标识。
示例性的,可以为relay UE下连接的所有remote UE分配用于广播发送的广播标识L2ID,在该方式中,relay UE将应用该相同的广播标识L2ID向所有的remote UE发送广播消息,相应地,remote UE将应用该广播标识L2ID来接收relay UE的广播消息,该广播消息可以包括一个或多个remote UE请求的M个SIB或M个SI message。
通过上述实现方式,relay UE可以以广播消息的方式向一个或多个remote UE发送的SI message或者发送SIB,当多个remote UE向relay UE请求获取系统信息时,避免了relay UE通过单播通信占用更多的SL资源向多个remote UE发送系统信息,从而节省通信资源。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:
所述第一终端设备向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送第一映射关系的信息,所述第一映射关系用于指示所述M个SIB或SI消息和所述N个目标标识之间的对应关系。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:
当所述第一映射关系变化时,所述第一终端设备向所述第二终端设备发送更新后的第 一映射关系的信息;和/或
当第三终端设备接入所述第一终端设备时,所述第一终端设备向所述第三终端设备发送所述第一映射关系的信息。
可选地,当remote UE和relay UE建立连接的时候,relay UE就可以直接将第一映射关系发送给remote UE,或者,当remote UE接收到relay UE发送的第一请求消息的时候,relay UE就可以直接将第一映射关系发送给remote UE,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
或者,一种可能的情况中,当所述第一映射关系变化时,所述第一终端设备向所述第二终端设备发送更新后的第一映射关系的信息。
又或者,另一种可能的情况中,当有新的remote UE(例如第三终端设备)接入所述该relay UE时,relay UE可以向新的remote UE(例如第三终端设备)发送所述第一映射关系的信息。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息对应的N个目标标识之后,所述方法还包括:所述第一终端设备向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述第二消息对应的目标标识的信息,所述目标标识是所述第一终端设备根据第一映射关系确定的,所述第一映射关系用于指示所述M个SIB或SI消息和所述N个目标标识之间的对应关系。
通过上述方式,当remote UE以on-demand的方式向relay UE请求获取SI时,relay UE可以通过组播方式向remote UE下发SI,其中remote UE可以将relay UE请求获取的M个SI message为N组,并为每一个组分配一个组播标识L2ID。relay UE可以将当前请求的SI message对应的该组播标识L2ID告知remote UE,或者将SI message和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,或者SIB和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,以便remote UE使用每一组SI message对应的组播标识L2ID进行所请求的SI的接收。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送第二消息之前,所述方法还包括:所述第一终端设备接收网络设备周期性广播的所述M个SIB或SI消息;和/或所述第一终端设备向所述网络设备发送所述第一请求消息;所述第一终端设备接收所述网络设备发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送第二消息,包括:
所述第一终端设备周期性地向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述第二消息。
可选地,relay UE的组播周期还可以参考SIB1中的周期配置,例如结合SI-SchedulingInfo中的周期确定该组播周期。或者,也可以由relay UE重新配置一个组播周期并将其告诉remote UE。又或者,也可以根据新的timer进行配置。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述第一请求消息通过无线资源控制RRC信令或媒体访问控制MAC CE信令或侧行链路控制信息SCI发送的。
结合第一方面和上述实现方式,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:所述第一终端设备接收所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送的反馈消息,所述反馈消息用于指示是否成功接收所述第二消息;所述第一终端设备停止发送所述第二消息。
应理解,对于广播和组播的不同方式,发送反馈消息的过程可以对应的不同的实现过 程。
一种可能的实现方式中,如果第一终端设备通过广播消息的方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述第二消息时,当第一终端设备接收到一个或多个第二终端设备中所有的第二终端设备的反馈消息,并根据该反馈消息确定一个或多个第二终端设备中所有的第二终端设备都成功地接收了所述第二消息时,第一终端设备停止发送广播消息。
另一种可能的实现方式中,如果第一终端设备通过组播消息的方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述第二消息时,因为不同的分组发送的是不同的组播消息(例如N个分组发送的是N个不同的组播消息),那么当第一终端设备接收到每个分组对应发送过第一请求消息的所有第二终端设备的反馈消息,并根据该反馈消息确定该每个分组对应发送过第一请求消息的所有第二终端设备都成功地接收了所述第二消息时,第一终端设备停止发送组播消息。
可选地,该方法可以预先设定第一终端设备向第二终端设备发送广播消息和组播消息的次数等。示例性的,relay UE可以仅向一个或多个remote UE发送3次组播消息或广播消息,之后就停止发送,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
第二方面,提供了一种传输信息的方法,其特征在于,所述方法应用于包括第一终端设备和一个或多个第二终端设备的系统中,所述第一终端设备和每个第二终端设备建立侧行链路SL连接,且所述每个第二终端设备通过所述第一终端设备获取目标小区的网络服务,所述目标小区是所述第一终端设备的服务小区,所述方法包括:

本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、第五代(5th generation,5G)移动通信系统或新无线(new radio,NR)通信系统以及未来的移动通信系统等。
图1是适用于本申请实施例的移动通信系统的架构示意图。如图1所示,该无线通信系统100可以包括至少两个终端设备(例如终端设备110和终端设备120等)和无线接入网设备130等。其中,终端设备120可以通过无线接入的方式与无线接入网设备130相连。 终端设备110和终端设备120可以是固定位置的设备,也可以是可移动的设备。
在无线通信系统100中,无线接入网设备130是终端设备120通过无线方式接入到该移动通信系统中的接入设备。该无线接入网设备130可以是:基站、演进型基站(evolved node B,eNB)、家庭基站、无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point,TRP)等,还可以为NR系统中的gNB,或者,还可以是构成基站的组件或一部分设备,如汇聚单元(central unit,CU)、分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)或基带单元(baseband unit,BBU)等,本申请实施例对无线接入网设备130所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
在一些部署中,gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能,DU实现gNB的部分功能。比如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令,如RRC层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外,可以将CU划分为接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network,CN)中的网络设备,本申请对此不做限定。
应理解,无线接入网设备130可以简称为“网络设备”,如果无特殊说明,在本申请实施例中,网络设备均指无线接入网设备。在本申请实施例中,网络设备可以是指网络设备本身,也可以是应用于网络设备中完成无线通信处理功能的芯片。
该无线通信系统100中的终端设备110和终端设备120也可以称为终端、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)等。本申请实施例中的终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑,还可以是应用于虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)、工业控制(industrial control)、无人驾驶(self driving)、远程医疗(remote medical)、智能电网(smart grid)、运输安全(transportation safety)、智慧城市(smart city)以及智慧家庭(smart home)等场景中的无线终端。本申请中将前述终端设备及可应用于前述终端设备的芯片统称为终端设备。应理解,本申请实施例对终端设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
还应理解,图1只是示意图,该无线通信系统100中还可以包括其它网络设备,如还可以包括核心网设备、无线中继设备和无线回传设备等,在图1中未画出。本申请的实施例对该无线通信系统100中包括的设备数量和设备类型不作限定。
如图1所示,在无线通信系统100中,终端设备120和网络设备130之间可以通过Uu接口进行通信。其中,用于承载上行控制信息和/或上行数据的链路称为上行链路 (uplink,UL),例如,该物理上行信道可以包括LTE协议或NR协议中定义的物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)、物理上行共享信道(physical uplink share channel,PUSCH)以及随着网络演变而定义的具有上述功能的其他上行信道。用于承载下行控制信息和/或下行数据的链路称为下行链路(downlink,DL),例如,该物理下行信道可以包括物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)、物理上行共享信道(physical downlink share channel,PDSCH)以及随着网络演变而定义的具有上述功能的其他下行信道等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
此外,该无线通信系统100中的终端设备110和终端设备120之间也可以进行数据通信,即终端设备110和终端设备120之间可以不借助网络设备,直接进行终端设备110和终端设备120之间的数据通信。具体地,将终端设备110和终端设备120之间的接口称为PC5接口,终端设备110和终端设备120之间的链路称为侧行链路(sidelink,SL)。
上述介绍的包括无线接入网设备130、终端设备120、终端设备110的无线通信系统100可以称为“UE-to-Network relay”系统,终端设备120可以称为“relay UE”,终端设备110可以称为“remote UE”。以基站作为无线接入网设备130,基站与终端设备120之间建立连接,终端设备120与终端设备110之间建立SL连接,终端设备120可以帮助终端设备110接入基站获取网络服务。以下行通信过程为例,终端设备120可以将从基站获取的数据转发给终端设备110。以上行通信过程为例,终端设备120可以从终端设备110获取数据后,转发给基站,该技术可以提升小区覆盖范围。或者,也有可能终端设备110通过终端设备120驻留在无线接入网设备130下面的目标小区,并无数据服务。
一种可能的应用场景中,车用无线通信(vehicle to everything,V2X)系统(或者称为车辆网系统)就是一种典型的“UE-to-Network relay”系统。具体地,V2X是将车辆与一切事物相连接的新一代信息通信技术,其中V代表车辆,X代表任何与车交互信息的对象,例如包含车、人、交通路侧基础设施和网络等。V2X是物联网体系中最有产业潜力、市场需求最明确的领域之一,具有应用空间广、产业潜力大、社会效益强的特点。车联网通过车载传感器、车载终端等设备收集车辆信息,并通过V2X通信技术实现车与车(Vehicle-to-Vehicle,V2V)、车与人(Vehicle-to-Pedestrian,V2P)、车与路边基础设施(Vehicle-to-Infrastructure,V2I)以及车与网络(Vehicle-to-Network,V2N)之间的通信,车联网将成为未来实现智能交通系统的基础组成部分。
在V2X业务中,每个车可以理解为一个终端设备,可以称为“V2X UE”,以NR通信为例,NR PC5接口是V2X UE之间的直连通信接口。示例性的,如图1所示,终端设备110和终端设备120都可以作为“V2X UE”,终端设备110和终端设备120之间的直连通信链路即为SL链路,终端设备110和终端设备120之间可以通过SL直接进行数据传输,且不需要经过网络进行数据传输,可以有效地减少通信时延。
此外,对于V2X业务,该无线通信系统100中还可以包括V2X应用服务器等,终端设备120也可以通过NR Uu接口将V2X相关的数据发送到基站130,基站130再将V2X相关的数据发送至V2X应用服务器进行处理,再将处理后的数据经由终端设备120转发给接收方的终端设备110,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,除了前述介绍的V2X的场景之外,本申请的实施例还可以适用于其他更多的设备到设备(device to device,D2D)的数据传输,本申请的实施例对应用场景不作限 定。
还应理解,终端设备110(remote UE)和终端设备120(relay UE)之间的SL链路上可以支持广播、单播、组播的方式进行通信。
广播通信的过程中,终端设备120可以对外发送不加密的广播业务数据。其中,该终端设备120可以作为发送端设备(transmitting equipment,TX),对于任何一个在该终端设备120的有效接收范围内的其他终端设备都可以作为接收端设备(receiving equipment,RX),例如终端设备110等,如果对该广播的业务感兴趣都可以接收该广播业务的数据。
单播通信需要两个终端设备(例如TX和RX)之间先建立单播连接,在两个终端设备建立单播连接之后,可以基于协商的标识进行数据通信,该数据可以是加密的,也可以是不加密的。相比于广播通信,在单播通信中,只能是建立了单播连接的两个终端设备之间才能进行该单播通信。该单播通信类似于终端设备与网络设备之间建立无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接之后进行的数据通信的过程,此处不再赘述。
组播通信是指一个通信组内所有终端设备之间的通信,组内任意一个终端设备都可以作为TX或者RX,接收或发送该组播业务的数据,不属于该通信组内的终端设备不会接收并解析该组播业务的数据。
下面将结合图1所示的无线通信系统100,介绍在该系统100中传输系统信息(system information,SI)的方法。为方便理解,下面先介绍与SI的传输相关的几个概念:
1.系统信息(system information,SI)
一般SI可以由基站广播给终端设备,SI包含最小系统信息(minimum system
information,MSI)和其他系统信息(other system information,OSI)。MSI包含初始接入的基本信息的主信息块(master information block,MIB),以及系统信息块1(system information block 1,SIB1)的调度信息,SIB1也可以称为(remaining minimum SI,RMSI)。
其中,MIB定义了小区最基本的系统信息以及解码SIB1所需要的参数,MIB在物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)上传输。SIB1包含随机接入所必须的一些参数,例如小区选择参数、接入控制参数、初始接入相关的信道配置信息、系统消息请求配置信息、其他系统消息的调度配置等,即SIB1包含其他SIB的调度信息。对于不广播SIB1的小区,终端设备不能驻留在该小区里。
在NR中,MSI的调度周期是固定的,其中,MIB的周期是80毫秒(millisecond,ms)周期,SIB1的周期是160ms。
2.OSI的调度
OSI包含除了MSI外的其他所有的SIBs,即SIB2至SIBn,并且承载在物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDSCH)上,支持周期性的广播,主要包含小区重选参数,公共安全等参数等。
OSI的调度以系统信息消息(system information message,SI message)为单位进行发送。每个SI message包含一个或者多个除SIB1外的拥有相同调度需求的SIB,一个SI message包含的所有SIB具有相同的传输周期。表1示出了一种可能的SI message和SIB的映射关系。SI message和SIB的映射关系包含在SIB1中,在信元SI-schedulingInfo中指示。SI-schedulingInfo信元中包含了多个schedulingInfo,每个schedulingInfo包含了一个SI message和SIB的映射关系。示例性的,如表1所示,例如schedulingInfo 1指示SIB2 和SIB3映射到SI message 1;schedulingInfo 2指示SIB4和SIB5映射到SI message 2;schedulingInfo 3指示SIB6和SIB7映射到SI message 3等。
表1
Figure PCTCN2022091229-appb-000001
其中,SIB和SI message之间的映射关系遵循以下规则:
(1)相同传输周期的SIBs可以映射到相同的SI message中,也可以映射到不同的SI message中,每个SIB只包含在一个SI message中。
(2)不同传输周期的SIBs映射到不同SI message中。
3.OSI的发送
OSI的发送方式有两种,一种是基于广播调度的方式,另一种是基于“on-demand”的方式。其中,对于广播调度的方式,基站在系统信息窗口(system information-windows,SI-windows)中广播OSI,且每个SI message只在一个SI窗口中传输。具体地,遵循以下规则:
(1)一个SI message可以和一个SI-window相关联,该SI-window内只能发这个SI message且可以重复发送多次。具体的发送次数、在哪些时隙(slot)上发送等,可以取决于基站的实现,但一个SI-window内不能发送其它SI message。
(2)SI-window之间是紧挨着的,对于任意两个相邻的SI-window,既不重叠,也不会有空隙。
(3)所有SI message的SI-window长度都相同。
(4)不同SI message的周期是相互独立的。
(5)每个SI message至少包含1个SIB,相同调度周期的SIB可以在同一个SI message中传输。
gNB通过SIB1告诉UE有哪些SI message,每个SI message包含了哪些SIB,这些SI message会在哪个SI-window发送以及SI-window的时域位置和长度。此外,gNB不会告诉UE在SI窗口的哪些子帧调度了该SI message。当UE需要某个SIB时,它就会在该SIB对应的SI message关联的SI-window的每个子帧使用系统信息无线网络临时标识(system information-radio network temporary identifier,SI-RNTI)去尝试解码下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),直到成功接收到SI message为止。例如,从SI-window的起始子帧开始,除了不能调度SI的子帧之外,在SI-window Length个子帧内去尝试解码DCI。
此外,UE还可以用on-demand方式获取OSI,即请求其他系统信息(on demand other system information,ODOSI)。对于是否采用on-demand SI,可以由SchedulingInfo中的SI-BroadcastStatus信令指示,若为notBroadcasting则表示是on demand SI。
可选地,以终端设备和基站的通信过程为例,当终端设备处于无线资源控制连接态 (radio resource control CONNECT,RRC CONNECT)时,可以通过RRC专用信令DedicatedSIBRequest来请求获取OSI,请求的最小粒度是SIB。
应理解,当终端设备处于空闲态(RRC IDLE)或非连接态(RRC INACTIVE)时,如果SIB1中指示支持ODOSI,并且SI-SchedulingInfo字段包括SI-RequestConfig或者SI-RequestConfigSUL,那么表明可以通过on-demand流程来获取OSI。该字段配置了SI request专用随机接入资源,包含SI和preamble的对应关系,即发送随机接入时选择所请求的SI对应的前导码preamble。RRC会触发MAC层利用SI-RequestConfig消息中包含的PRACH preamble(s)和PRACH resource(s)发起初始随机接入流程,此时UE通过使用Msg1通知网络侧来请求OSI。
若SIB1中的SI-SchedulingInfo未包含SI-RequestConfig或SI-RequestConfigSUL,UE应触发RRC信令RRCSystemInfoRequest来通知基站获取这些系统消息。通过MSG3(竞争随机接入的message 3)请求OSI。
基站接收到UE的请求消息后,通过PDCCH DCI指示UE在相应的SI-window中进行接收。
还应理解,本申请实施例所介绍的传输SI可以理解为主要针对OSI的传输过程,即在“UE-to-Network relay”系统中,relay UE和remote UE之间传输OSI的过程。
图2是本申请实施例提供的一例传输系统信息SI的方法的示意性流程图。该方法200可以应用于上述包括第一终端设备(relay UE)、第二终端设备(remote UE)和网络设备(基站)的无线通信系统100中,其中,第一终端设备(relay UE)和一个或多个第二终端设备(remote UE)建立侧行链路SL连接,且所述每个第二终端设备通过所述第一终端设备获取目标小区的网络服务,所述目标小区是所述第一终端设备的服务小区。应理解,本申请实施例的第二终端设备可以是连接态或者非连接态。
如图2所示,该方法200包括以下内容:
S210,一个或多个第二终端设备向第一终端设备发送第一请求消息,所述第一请求消息用于请求获取服务小区的M个系统信息块SIB或系统信息SI消息;相应地,第一终端设备接收所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送的第一请求消息。
应理解,remote UE可以向relay UE发送第一请求消息,用于请求获取自己所需要的SI。其中,根据前述关于SI的介绍,该第一请求消息可以用于一个或多个remote UE请求所需要的M个SI message,或者该第一请求消息可以用于一个或多个remote UE请求所需要的M个SIB,每个remote UE请求的系统消息可以是M个SI message中的一个或多个SI message,或者每个remote UE请求的系统消息可以是M个SIB中的一个或者多个SIB,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一请求消息可以通过侧行链路上的无线资源控制RRC信令,或媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)-控制元素(control element,CE),或通过侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI),或PC5-S信令(PC5-S signaling)发送。例如,remote UE可以通过PC5-RRC信令给relay UE发送系统消息请求。
S220,第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息对应的N个目标标识,N为大于或等于1的整数且N≤M。
应理解,remote UE和relay UE之间建立了SL连接,SL上可以支持广播、组播、单 播的通信方式,三种通信方式主要是由接入层(access stotum,AS)中的源标识(source layer-2 ID,SRC ID)和目标标识(destination layer-2 ID,DST ID)来实现,或者称为“源地址”和“目标地址”。
表2是一种可能的消息的简化格式。如表2所示,DST ID可以根据SL上广播、组播、单播等不同的通信方式进行分配。可选地,DST ID可以设置成单播、组播或者广播的目标标识,用于接收端设备的接收。
SRC ID用于标识发送端设备的身份标识(identity,ID)。可选地,SRC ID可以由终端设备自己分配。例如对于relay UE,SRC ID可以是relay UE的设备标识,或者relay UE用于和remote UE在SL上进行单播通信的源L2ID,或者专门为系统消息组播或广播分配的源标识等。
Frame type用于标识数据帧的类型,可选地,可以用Frame Type的内容指示该消息内容为系统消息请求。
表2
SRC ID DST ID Frame type Frame payload
在本申请实施例中,“目标标识”可以理解为消息中的DST ID,或者称为“DST L2ID”。当relay UE接收到一个或多个remote UE发送的第一请求消息之后,可以解析第一请求消息的内容,并准确获知所有的remote UE所需要的M个SI message,或者所有的remote UE所需要的M个SIB,relay UE再为M个SI message或者M个SIB确定其对应的不同的L2 ID。
S230,第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送第二消息,所述第二消息包括所述M个SIB或SI消息,且所述第二消息包括对应的目标标识。
可选地,在本申请中,所述第二消息可以代表一个消息,例如第二消息是一个广播消息,即广播消息中包括所述一个或多个第二终端设备请求的所有的M个SIB或SI message。
或者,所述第二消息还可以代表多个消息,例如所述第二消息对应多个组播消息,即多个组播消息中包括所述一个或多个第二终端设备请求的所有的M个SIB或SI message,且每一个组播消息可能包括当前的第二终端设备请求的某个或者某几个SIB或SI message,每个组播消息中包含的SIB和SI同属于一个分组,例如,表4中的SIB2和SIB3,再如,表6中的SI消息1和SI消息2。
在后续实施例的描述中,“发送所述第二消息”和“发送M个SIB或SI message”表达相同的含义,即第一终端设备通过发送一个或多个消息的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所请求的SIB或SI message。应理解,不论是第二消息作为一个消息,或者对应多个独立的不同消息,均落入本申请实施例的保护范围,后续不再赘述。
S240,所述一个或多个第二终端设备接收所述第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式发送的所述第二消息。
可选的,remote UE可以采用非连续性接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)的接收方式进行SI的接收,监听时机适配relay UE的发送周期,以实现更多的节能。
可选地,本申请实施例中所描述的“发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息”可以理解为仅将多个第二终端设备请求的所有的M个SIB作为广播消息,广播给该多个第二终端设备。或者,“发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息”可以理解为第一终端设备直接将gNB广播的SI 全部广播给该多个第二终端设备,换言之,第一终端设备发送给第二终端设备的广播消息除了所述M个SIB或SI消息之外,还可能包括其他的SIB或SI消息,该其他的SIB或SI消息可能不是第一请求消息请求的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,S240中,第一终端设备可以周期性地向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息,相应地,所述一个或多个第二终端设备可以周期性地接收所述第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息。应理解,该周期可以是第一终端设备和第二终端设备约定好的周期,该周期可以由第一终端设备确定,并通过sidelink上的RRC消息、PC5-S信令等方式向第二终端设备指示,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
一种可能的方式中,所述M个SIB或SI消息可以对应一个相同的目标标识,所述目标标识指示第一终端设备通过广播方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,可以为relay UE下连接的所有remote UE分配用于广播发送的广播标识L2ID,在该方式中,relay UE将应用该相同的广播标识L2ID向所有的remote UE发送广播消息,相应地,remote UE将应用该广播标识L2ID来接收relay UE的广播消息,该广播消息可以包括一个或多个remote UE请求的M个SIB或M个SI message。
可选地,当所述M个SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识时,所述目标标识可以是预设的标识。例如,所述M个SIB或SI消息对应一个广播标识L2ID,该广播标识L2ID可以由协议规定。
具体地,relay UE在广播包括M个SIB或M个SI message的系统信息时,该系统信息携带有SRC ID和DST ID,其中DST ID即为上述协议规定的广播标识L2ID。由于该广播标识L2ID是协议中预先规定的,remote UE和relay UE就可以知道应用该L2ID接收系统信息的广播,因此不需要relay UE再告知remote UE该广播标识L2ID。当remote UE接收到广播消息,可以根据广播消息中的L2ID接收包括M个SIB或M个SI message的系统信息。
可选地,当所述M个SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识时,即第一终端设备通过广播方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息,所述M个SIB或SI消息还包括所述第一终端设备的标识。
应理解,当remote UE在多个relay UE的信号覆盖范围内时,remote UE可能会接收到周边多个relay UE发送的广播消息,为了识别该广播消息是自己所连接的relay UE发送的,remote UE还可以根据接收的多个广播消息中携带的SRC ID来判断该广播消息是否来自于自己所连接的relay UE,即根据表2列举的消息结构中的SRC ID来判断该广播消息是否来自于自己所连接的relay UE。
示例性的,当remote UE 1接收到5个relay UE发送的5种广播消息,remote UE 1可以获取每一个广播消息中携带的SRC ID,当SRC ID为自己连接的relay UE的设备标识时,判断该广播消息是remote UE 1所需要的,并解析该广播消息的内容,进而获取请求的M个SIB或SI消息。
上述第一终端设备的标识可以是relay UE的设备标识,或者relay UE用于和remote UE在SL上进行单播通信的源L2ID,或者专门为系统消息组播或广播分配的源标识等,本申 请实施例对此不作限定。
以V2X场景为例,广播方式的具体实现过程中,广播标识L2ID(例如DST ID)的配置依赖于V2X服务,该广播标识L2ID可以由relay UE的应用层(例如V2X层)预配置,或者可以由V2X应用服务器预配置,又或者5G核心网的分组控制功能(packet control function,PCF)可以为relay UE提供V2X业务类型和DST ID的映射关系,根据不同的业务类型预配置不同的广播标识L2ID,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选的,该系统消息的广播可以以Uu信息转移(information transfer)的形式下发,即所有基站侧的AS消息(例如paging消息、SI消息等)以RRC container的形式包含在Uu information transfer的RRC消息中,然后按照分配的该广播标识L2ID下发给remote UE。
具体地,作为一个RRC container的示例,假设包含AS消息的RRC container为AS-RRC-message。relay UE接收到AS-RRC-message之后,将AS-RRC-message承载在SL上的UuInformationTransfer中,发送给remote UE。其中,UuInformationTransfer可以为在SL上用于转发AS层信令的PC5-RRC消息。一种可能的形式为:
UuInformationTransfer-IEs::=SEQUENCE{
AS-RRC-Message OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
}
一种可能的情况中,relay UE中可能已经有remote UE请求的系统信息,例如relay UE中已经有remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息,那么relay UE可以直接通过前述介绍的广播消息的方式将包括所述M个SIB或SI消息的系统信息发送给remote UE。
另一种可能情况中,relay UE中可能不包括remote UE请求的系统信息,例如relay UE中没有remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息,那么relay UE可以通过以下两种方式获取所述M个SIB或SI消息。那么,在S230之前,方法200还可以包括以下方式一和/或方式二对应的步骤:
方式一
S220-1,第一终端设备接收网络设备周期性广播的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,在图1所示的无线通信系统100中,gNB可以按照SIB1中信元SI-SchedulingInfo的配置,向relay UE广播SI。当relay UE在收到第一请求消息之后,确定所请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息,等待gNB广播的SI,直到获取了所述M个SIB或SI消息,再执行S230。该方式中,relay UE不需要占用额外的资源向网络设备请求获取SI,可以减少信令的开销。
方式二
S220-2,第一终端设备向网络设备发送所述第一请求消息;相应地,网络设备接收所述第一请求消息。
S220-3,网络设备根据所述第一请求消息,向第一终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息,相应地,第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
应理解,方式一和方式二的方法可以同时或单独使用,例如,remote UE向relay UE请求SI message 1、SI message 2和SI message 3,relay UE接收gNB周期性广播的SI message 2,可以仅向gNB再请求SI message 1和SI message 3,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,S220-2和S220-3中的“第一请求消息”可以是S210中的第一请求消息,即用于请求所述M个SIB或SI消息。或者,S220-2和S220-3中的“第一请求消息”和S210中的第一请求消息都用于请求所述M个SIB或SI消息,但是可以具有不同的消息形式或消息结构等,具体根据第一终端设备和网络设备之间的具体实现决定。或者,S220-2和S220-3中的“第一请求消息”和S210中的“第一请求消息”用于请求的SIB或SI消息不同,例如S210中的“第一请求消息”用于请求SI message 1、SI message 2和SI message 3,S220-2和S220-3中的“第一请求消息”用于请求SI message 1和SI message 3,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的,relay UE可以向gNB发送该第一请求消息,请求内容为remote UE所请求的M个SIB或SI消息,或者M个SIB或SI消息中的部分消息(剩余部分为relay UE自身已有的SIB或SI消息)。gNB收到该第一请求消息后,给relay UE下发所请求的SIB或SI消息,具体的,该方式二中包括的S220-2和S220-3可以参照现有的请求SI的过程,为了简便,此处不再赘述。
可选地,对于relay UE通过广播的形式向remote UE发送所请求的M个SIB或SI消息的过程,其他更多的remote UE虽然没有请求但也有可能收到该广播消息,此时该其他更多的remote UE也可以接收该广播消息,即直接接收M个SIB或SI消息,保留后续使用等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
通过上述实现方式,relay UE可以以广播消息的方式向一个或多个remote UE发送的SI message或者发送SIB,当多个remote UE向relay UE请求获取系统信息时,避免了relay UE通过单播通信占用更多的SL资源向多个remote UE发送系统信息,从而节省通信资源。
或者,又一种可能的方式中,除了上述介绍的广播的方式,relay UE还可以以组播的方式向一个或多个remote UE发送的SI message或者发送SIB。relay UE可以根据不同的规则或场景为一个或多个remote UE确定不同的组播标识。
应理解,在一个或多个remote UE向relay UE发送请求的过程中,可能一个或多个remote UE并不是一起发送第一请求消息的。可选地,可以为relay UE设置预定时段(timer),每个预订时段内或每次timer到期时,对该timer到期前收到的一个或多个remote UE请求的SI message或者SIB进行分组,后续不再赘述。
可选地,所述M个SIB或SI消息中的所有的SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识,所述目标标识指示第一终端设备通过组播方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,relay UE可以将所有的M个SI message分为一组并分配一个唯一的组播标识L2ID,即M个SI message对应1个组播标识L2ID;或者说,将所有的M个SIB分为一组并分配一个唯一的组播标识L2ID,即M个SIB对应1个组播标识L2ID。其中,该组播标识L2ID可以是由relay UE的AS层分配的,或者由V2X层基于AS层的服务请求分配的,或者由AS层在V2X层预先提供的多个L2ID中选择的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。表3列举了一种可能的组播方式的中分配的组播标识,如表3所示,SI message 1、SI message 2和SI message 3都对应一个组播标识L2ID 1,或者说SIB2-SIB7都对应一个组播标识L2ID 1。

通过上述方式,当remote UE以on-demand的方式向relay UE请求获取SI时,relay UE可以通过组播方式向remote UE下发SI,其中remote UE可以将relay UE请求获取的所有的SI message为一组,并分配一个组播标识L2ID。relay UE可以将该组播标识L2ID告知remote UE,以便remote UE使用该组播标识L2ID进行SI的接收。该组播标识L2ID可以在remote UE接入relay UE时就告知给remote UE;或者在remote UE给relay UE发送第一请求之后,告知给remote UE。
或者,可选地,所述M个SIB或SI消息中的每一个SIB或SI消息作为一组,每一组对应不同的目标标识,所述目标标识指示第一终端设备通过组播方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,relay UE可以将所有的M个SI message分为M组并为每一组都分配一个唯一的组播标识L2ID,即M个SI message对应M个组播标识L2ID;或者说,将所有的M个SIB分为M组并为每一组都分配一个唯一的组播标识L2ID,即M个SIB对应M个组播标识L2ID。其中,该组播标识L2ID可以是由relay UE的AS层分配的,或者由应用层(例如V2X层等)基于AS层的服务请求分配的,或者由AS层在应用层预先提供的多个L2ID中选择的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。表4列举了一种可能的组播方式的中分配的组播标识,如表4所示,SI message 1(SIB2、SIB3)对应一个组播标识L2ID 1,SI message 2(SIB4、SIB5)对应一个组播标识L2ID 2,SI message 3(SIB6,SIB7)对应一个组播标识L2ID 3。
表4

通过上述方式,当remote UE以on-demand的方式向relay UE请求获取SI时,relay UE可以通过组播方式向remote UE下发SI,其中remote UE可以将relay UE请求获取的M个SI message为M组,并为每一个组分配一个组播标识L2ID。relay UE可以将每一组的该组播标识L2ID告知remote UE,或者将SI message和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,或者SIB和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,以便remote UE使用每一组SI message对应的组播标识L2ID进行SI的接收。
又或者,可选地,所述M个SIB或SI消息中的K个SIB或SI消息对应一个相同的目标标识,1≤K<M,所述目标标识指示第一终端设备通过组播方式向一个或多个第二终端 设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,relay UE可以将所有的M个SI message分为N组并为每一组都分配一个唯一的组播标识L2ID,即M个SI message对应N个组播标识L2ID;或者说,将所有的M个SIB分为N组并为每一组都分配一个唯一的组播标识L2ID,即M个SIB对应N个组播标识L2ID。表5列举了一种可能的组播方式的中分配的组播标识,如表5所示,SI message 1(SIB2、SIB3)和SI message 2(SIB4、SIB5)对应一个组播标识L2ID 1,SI message 3(SIB6,SIB7)对应一个组播标识L2ID 3。
表5
Figure PCTCN2022091229-appb-000004
通过上述方式,当remote UE以on-demand的方式向relay UE请求获取SI时,relay UE可以通过组播方式向remote UE下发SI,其中remote UE可以将relay UE请求获取的M个SI message为N组,并为每一个组分配一个组播标识L2ID。relay UE可以将当前请求的SI message对应的该组播标识L2ID告知remote UE,或者将SI message和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,或者SIB和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,以便remote UE使用每一组SI message对应的组播标识L2ID进行所请求的SI的接收。
又或者,relay UE对M个SI message或SIB进行分组的原则可灵活设计。可选地,relay UE可以将请求相同SIB的多个remote UE划分为一个组,从而减少relay UE发送组播消息所需的SL资源以及组播消息的大小。
可选地,relay UE还可以根据SI message的内容分组,例如可以将全部和sidelink配置相关的系统消息(即5G系统中的SIB12、SIB13、SIB14)划分为一个组,并配置相应的L2ID。
可选地,还可以由基站根据历史系统消息请求信息进行分组,例如,基站可以根据历史信息将通常一起请求的系统消息划分为一个组,再将分组信息告知给relay UE,再由relay UE为不同的分组分配L2ID,也可以由基站分配L2ID,并将分组和L2ID的对应关系告知给relay UE,最后,relay UE直接应用该基站配置的映射关系。
另外,relay UE还可以按需更新分组方式,例如根据当前或者最近一段时间内的remote UE的系统消息请求情况,将remote UE同时请求的SIB消息或者SI消息尽量划分为一个组,以便于在同一个组播消息中能够下发给remote UE。例如,remote UE1请求了SI message 1和SI message 2,remote UE2请求了SI message 2和SI message 3,则可以将SI message1、SI message2和SI message3划分为一个组。若是过了一段时间,relay UE发现remote UE不再同时请求SI message 1和SI message 2或者SI message 2和SI message 3,则将分组以及映射关系进行相应更新。
示例性的,表6列举了一种可能的组播方式的中分配的组播标识,如表6所示,假设gNB的配置中,SIB和SI message的映射关系为:SIB2、SIB3对应SI message1,SIB4、 SIB5对应SI message2,SIB6、SIB7对应SI message3。
如果remote UE1请求SIB2、SIB3,remote UE2请求SIB3、SIB4,remote UE3和remote UE4都请求SIB6、SIB7,remote UE5请求SIB5。根据SIB和SI messgae之前的映射关系,relay UE可以将SI message1和SI message2划分为一组,分配组播标识L2ID1,将SI message3分配为另一组,分配组播标识L2ID2。
表6
remote UE(s) SIB(s) SI message 组播标识
UE1、UE2、UE5 SIB2、SIB3、SIB4、SIB5 SI message1、SI message2 L2ID1
UE3、UE4 SIB6、SIB7 SI message3 L2ID2
或者,示例性的,relay UE直接以SIB为单位进行分组,虽然在Uu口发送SI是以SI message为单位,但是在PC5口可以直接以SIB为单位进行发送,因此在分组的时候可以直接以SIB为粒度进行分组。
仍然以上述表6为例,由于remote UE 1和remote UE 2有相同的对于SIB3的需求,同时为了满足remote UE 1对于SIB2的需求以及remote UE2对于SIB4的需求,relay UE可以将SIB2、SIB3、SIB4分为一组,并分配组播标识。另外,不再考虑将SIB4和SIB5映射在一个SI message中,而将SIB4和SIB5分为两个组,并分别分配组播标识。最后,relay UE的分组结果可以如下表7所示,此处不再赘述。
表7
remote UE(s) SIB(s) 组播标识
UE1、UE2 SIB2、SIB3、SIB4 L2ID1
UE3、UE4 SIB6、SIB7 L2ID2
UE5 SIB5 L2ID3
通过上述方式,当remote UE以on-demand的方式向relay UE请求获取SI时,relay UE可以通过组播方式向remote UE下发SI,其中remote UE可以根据一个或多个remote UE请求获取的M个SI message、M个SIB、remote UE的数量等,灵活地进行分组,并为每一个组分配一个组播标识L2ID。relay UE可以将每一组的该组播标识L2ID告知remote UE,或者将SI message和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,或者SIB和组播标识之间的对应关系告知remote UE,以便remote UE使用每一组SI message对应的组播标识L2ID进行SI的接收,提升了SI的发送效率以及更新效率。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一终端设备向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息可以是周期性地向所述一个或多个第二终端设备,以组播方式发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
可选地,relay UE从gNB处获取到remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息之后,可以将remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息组合为一个消息,例如组合为一个新的 SI message,并通过组播的方式发送给remote UE。
可选地,relay UE可以周期性地向remote UE组播发送remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息,其中组播周期可以由relay UE配置,或者由gNB配置并发送给relay UE,并且通过广播或者组播或者单播的方式告知给remote UE。在周期性地发送组播消息时,relay UE可以只组播已经获得的remote UE请求的SIB或SI消息,对于有些未获得的remote UE请求的SIB或SI消息,relay UE将继续等待gNB发送之后,在后续周期内再进行组播,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,relay UE的组播周期还可以参考SIB1中的周期配置,例如结合SI-SchedulingInfo中的周期确定该组播周期。或者,也可以由relay UE重新配置一个组播周期并将其告诉remote UE。又或者,也可以根据新的timer进行配置。
可选的,relay UE也可以在获取到remote UE发送的第一请求消息之后立即下发组播消息。
一种可能的情况中,relay UE中可能已经有remote UE请求的系统信息,例如relay UE中已经有remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息,那么relay UE可以直接通过前述介绍的广播消息的方式将包括所述M个SIB或SI消息的系统信息发送给remote UE。
另一种可能情况中,relay UE中可能不包括remote UE请求的系统信息,例如relay UE中没有remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息,那么relay UE可以通过以下两种方式获取所述M个SIB或SI消息。那么,在S230之前,方法200还可以包括前述介绍的方式一对应的S220-1,和/或方式二对应的220-2和220-3,具体参考前述相关介绍,为了简便,此处不再赘述。
通过上述方式,当remote UE以on-demand的方式向relay UE请求获取SI时,relay UE可以通过组播方式向remote UE下发SI,其中remote UE可以将relay UE请求获取的所有的M个SI message划分为N组,并为每一组分配一个组播标识L2ID,以便remote UE使用该不同的组播标识L2ID接收不同组的SI message。
对于组播来说,应用层会提供该组播标识的信息,relay UE可以将该组播标识转换成DST ID;如果未提供该组播标识的信息,则relay UE可以使用广播机制中业务类型到DST ID的映射关系来进行确定。
可选地,第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息对应的N个目标标识之后,第一终端设备可以向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送第一映射关系的信息,所述第一映射关系用于指示所述M个SIB或SI消息和所述N个目标标识之间的对应关系。相应地,所述一个或多个第二终端设备接收所述第一终端设备发送的第一映射关系的信息,并根据所述第一映射关系的信息接收所述第一终端设备发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,第一映射关系可以是如表3至表5中列举的任意一种SI message和组播标识之间的对应关系,或者SIB和组播标识之间的对应关系,此处不再赘述。
可选地,当remote UE和relay UE建立连接的时候,relay UE就可以直接将第一映射关系发送给remote UE,或者,当remote UE接收到relay UE发送的第一请求消息的时候,relay UE就可以直接将第一映射关系发送给remote UE,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
或者,一种可能的情况中,当所述第一映射关系变化时,所述第一终端设备向所述第二终端设备发送更新后的第一映射关系的信息。
又或者,另一种可能的情况中,当有新的remote UE(例如第三终端设备)接入所述该relay UE时,relay UE可以向新的remote UE(例如第三终端设备)发送所述第一映射关系的信息。
可选地,当relay UE更新了第一映射关系或者接收到SI change indication指示SI message和SIB之间的映射关系改变时,relay UE可以直接将映射关系修改的信息、映射关系更新的信息或映射关系删除的信息发送给remote UE,并指示remote UE进行相应的映射关系更新、修改或删除;或者,relay UE可以直接将修改后的新的第一映射关系的信息发送给remote UE,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,当relay UE收到gNB的SI变更指示,指示某些系统消息内容改变后,relay UE接收gNB广播的更新后的SI,再通过组播或者广播方式向remote UE发送更新后的SI。
另一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一终端设备确定所述M个SIB或SI消息对应的N个目标标识之后,所述第一终端设备向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息中每一个SIB或SI消息对应的目标标识的信息。相应地,所述一个或多个第二终端设备接收所述第一终端设备发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息中每一个SIB或SI消息对应的目标标识的信息。
可选地,relay UE可以通过PC5接口向remote UE发送目标标识的信息。或者,relay UE可以应用一个default DST ID来建立和remote UE的单播连接,该default DST ID同样和业务类型相关联。应理解,在单播通信过程中,SL两端的relay UE可以在和remote UE还可以定期地更新L2ID,以保证通信的安全,此处不再赘述。
可选地,当remote UE感兴趣的SI message或SIB发生变更,并发起新的系统消息请求时,relay UE需要根据remote UE重新请求的SI message或SIB重新分配组播标识L2ID。
应理解,与上述relay UE向remote UE发送第一映射关系的信息的过程不同,当relay UE确定remote UE当前请求的是SI message 1,且relay UE确定SI message 1对应的组播标识为L2ID 1,那么relay UE可以将该组播标识L2ID 1发送给remote UE,而不需要再发送第一映射关系的信息。
还应理解,relay UE向remote UE发送该组播标识L2ID 1可以发生在发送第一请求消息之后,relay UE向remote UE发送该发送第一映射关系可以发生在发送第一请求消息之前或之后,或者,当有新的remote UE和relay UE建立连接时,relay UE直接通过单播方式向新的remote UE发送该组播标识L2ID 1或第一映射关系的信息。
可选的,该组播标识L2ID 1或第一映射关系的信息可以在discovery消息中携带给remote UE,或者可以在单播连接建立之后,通过PC5-RRC信令传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
一种可能的实现方式中,当remote UE收到relay UE发送的所述M个SIB或SI消息之后,可以向relay UE发送反馈消息,以告诉relay UE是否成功接收了所述M个SIB或SI消息。那么,该场景下,方法200还可以包括:
S250,一个或多个第二终端设备向所述第一终端设备发送反馈消息,相应地,所述第一终端设备接收所述反馈消息,其中,所述反馈消息用于指示是否成功接收所述第二消息。
可选地,当所述第一终端设备根据所述反馈消息确定每一个所述第二终端设备都成功 地接收所述第二消息时,所述第一终端设备可以停止发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。示例性的,当所有的relay UE确认一个或多个remote UE中所有remote UE都收到SI之后,停止发送组播消息或广播消息。
应理解,对于广播和组播的不同方式,S250可以对应的不同的实现过程。
一种可能的实现方式中,如果S230中,第一终端设备通过广播消息的方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述第二消息时,当第一终端设备接收到一个或多个第二终端设备中所有的第二终端设备的反馈消息,并根据该反馈消息确定一个或多个第二终端设备中所有的第二终端设备都成功地接收了所述第二消息时,第一终端设备停止发送广播消息。
另一种可能的实现方式中,如果S230中,第一终端设备通过组播消息的方式向一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述第二消息时,因为不同的分组发送的是不同的组播消息(例如N个分组发送的是N个不同的组播消息),那么当第一终端设备接收到每个分组对应发送过第一请求消息的所有第二终端设备的反馈消息,并根据该反馈消息确定该每个分组对应发送过第一请求消息的所有第二终端设备都成功地接收了所述第二消息时,第一终端设备停止发送组播消息。可选地,该方法200也可以不包括S250的过程,例如预先设定第一终端设备向第二终端设备发送广播消息和组播消息的次数等。示例性的,relay UE可以仅向一个或多个remote UE发送3次组播消息或广播消息,之后就停止发送,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
此外,在本申请实施例中,当SI发生改变时,例如relay UE通过寻呼下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)收到gNB发送的SI变更的指示,指示SI message和SIB1对应关系发生改变,此时relay UE可以无需更新目标标识,可以继续以此前分配的目标标识发送组播消息或广播消息。
综上所述,通过上述方法200,relay UE可以以组播消息的方式向一个或多个remote UE发送的SI message或者发送SIB,当relay UE接收到一个或多个remote UE发送的SI请求,请求获取SI message或SIB,relay UE可以将所有的SI message或SIB归为一组并为该组分配组播标识L2ID,并通过单播的方式将此组播标识L2ID发送给每一个remote UE。或者,将所有的SI message或SIB归为多个组(例如N组)并为每一组分配一个组播标识L2ID,并通过单播的方式将此组播标识L2ID和SI message或SIB之间的第一映射关系发送给每一个remote UE。后续relay UE可以通过在SL上发送组播消息的方式向该一个或多个remote UE发送SI,提升了SI的发送效率。此外,当组播标识发生变化或SI发生变化时,relay UE还可以维护组播标识L2ID和SI message或SIB之间的第一映射关系的信息,在SL上通过单播的方式通知相关的remote UE,进一步提升了SI的发送效率和更新效率。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,relay UE可以接收remote UE发送的第一请求消息,但是relay UE仅仅作为中继设备,不解析该第一请求消息的内容,将该第一请求消息转发给gNB。
在该场景中,本申请实施例还提供了另一例传输系统信息SI的方法,图3是本申请实施例还提供的另一例传输系统信息SI的方法的示意性流程图。应理解,该方法300可以应用于上述包括第一终端设备(relay UE)、第二终端设备(remote UE)和网络设备(基站)的无线通信系统100中,其中,第一终端设备(relay UE)和一个或多个第二终端设 备(remote UE)建立侧行链路SL连接。
如图3所示,该方法300包括以下内容:
S310,一个或多个第二终端设备向第一终端设备发送第一请求消息,相应地,第一终端设备接收所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送的第一请求消息,并将所述第一请求消息发送给网络设备。其中,所述第一请求消息用于请求获取服务小区的M个SIB或SI消息。
可选地,在relay UE的中继下,连接态的remote UE可以通过RRC信令将第一请求消息直接发给gNB,由于relay UE通过无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层以下进行中继,RRC消息为高层的信令,因此relay UE无法知道remote UE的第一请求消息的内容,即relay UE无法知道remote UE请求的M个SIB或SI message。
因此,可以由gNB将remote UE请求的所述M个SIB或SI message转告给relay UE,此时relay UE获取所述请求的M个SIB或SI message的方式有以下三种:
方式一
S320-1,网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示发送所述第一请求消息的一个或多个第二终端设备和请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,remote UE可以通过RRC信令将第一请求消息直接发给gNB,gNB根据第一请求消息,向该remote UE对应的relay UE发送该第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示所述M个SIB或SI消息,以及所述M个SIB或SI消息为其下面的哪一个remote UE所请求的。然后gNB可以再通过一个单独的消息向relay UE发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
可选地,第一指示信息包括多组(remote UE ID—所请求的SIB或者SI消息)的内容。relay UE可以根据第一指示信息的内容,即可以明确确定一个或多个remote UE中的每一个remote UE所请求的SIB或者SI消息。其中,每一个remote UE所请求的SIB或者SI消息可以是M个SIB或SI消息中的一个或者多个。
可选地,remote UE的ID可能是remote UE自己分配的ID,并且在单播连接建立过程中告诉了relay UE;或者是relay UE为remote UE分配的临时ID信息,或者也可能是remtoe UE的小区临时标识(如C-RNTI),本申请实施例对此不作限定。
S320-2,第一终端设备根据第一指示信息,确定所述一个或多个第二终端设备的信息,以及所述M个SIB或SI消息。
S320-3,网络设备向第一终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
方式二
S320-4,网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示发送所述第一请求消息的一个或多个第二终端设备和请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
S320-5,第一终端设备根据第一指示信息,所述一个或多个第二终端设备的信息,以及所述M个SIB或SI消息。
S320-6,第一终端设备监听网络设备周期性广播的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
应理解,方式二和方式一的不同之处在于,gNB向该remote UE对应的relay UE发送该第一指示信息之后,不再主动地向relay UE发送所述M个SIB或SI消息,而是继续周期性向relay UE广播SI,直到relay UE获取了所述M个SIB或SI消息,再执行S320。该方法可以减少信令开销。
方式三
S320-7,网络设备向第一终端设备发送该M个SIB或SI消息,以及第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示发送所述第一请求消息的一个或多个第二终端设备和请求的所述M个SIB或SI消息。
示例性的,remote UE可以通过RRC信令将第一请求消息直接发给gNB,gNB根据第一请求消息,将第一请求消息通过RRC信令下发给该remote UE对应的relay UE,同时还会携带上该第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示所述M个SIB或SI消息为其下面的哪一个remote UE所请求的。
可选地,该第一指示信息可以是remote UE的ID信息,例如为1bit的指示信息。
应理解,通过上述方式一至方式三中的任意一种方式,relay UE就可以知道一个或多个remote UE请求的M个SIB或SI消息。再执行下述S320-S350的过程:
S320,第一终端设备根据所述N个目标标识通过广播或组播的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送所述M个SIB或SI消息。
S330,第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式向所述一个或多个第二终端设备发送第二消息,所述第二消息包括所述M个SIB或SI消息,且所述第二消息包括对应的目标标识。
S340,所述一个或多个第二终端设备接收所述第一终端设备通过广播或组播的方式发送的所述第二消息。
S350,一个或多个第二终端设备向所述第一终端设备发送反馈消息,相应地,所述第一终端设备接收所述反馈消息,其中,所述反馈消息用于指示是否成功接收所述第二消息。第一终端设备可以根据所述反馈消息判断每一个所述第二终端设备是否成功接收所请求的SIB或SI消息。
或者,S350中,一个或多个第二终端设备通过所述第一终端设备的中继,将反馈消息发送给网络设备,由网络设备根据所述反馈消息判断每一个所述第二终端设备是否成功接收所述M个SIB或SI消息。
应理解,该S320-S350的过程可以参照前述方法200的S220-S250的实现过程,为了简便,此处不再赘述。
上述方法可以提供更多的方式,使得relay UE可以获取一个或多个remote UE发送的SI请求,并确定该一个或多个remote UE请求的SI message或SIB,relay UE再结合前述介绍的方式,通过广播或组播的方式该一个或多个remote UE发送SI,提升了SI的发送效率。
