切换(Handover,HO)
参照图2,图2为本申请实施例提供的切换的流程图,该流程主要包括如下步骤:
1、源基站给终端设备下发测量配置。
2、终端设备基于测量配置进行相关测量,向源基站上报测量报告。
3、源基站基于测量报告做切换决定(Handove decision)。
4、源基站向目标基站发起切换请求(Handover Request)。
5、目标基站做准入控制(Admission Control)。
6、目标基站向源基站发送切换请求-确认反馈(Handover Request Ack)消息。
7、源基站向终端设备发送RRC连接重配置消息,该RRC连接重配置消息携带目标基站的移动性控制信息(mobilityControlInformation)。
这里,RRC连接重配置消息携带在切换命令中。
8、源基站向目标基站进行SN状态转发(SN Status Transfer)。
9、终端设备同步至目标基站。
10a、目标基站给终端设备进行周期的上行分配(Periodic UL allocation)。
10b、目标基站给终端设备配置上行分配和跟踪区(Tracking Area,TA)。
11、终端设备向目标基站发送RRC连接重配置完成消息。
12、目标基站向核心网发起路径切换请求。
13、核心网向服务网关(Serving Gateway)发起修改承载请求。
14、服务网关切换下行路径。
15、服务网关向核心网发送修改承载响应消息。
16、核心网向目标基站发送路径切换请求-确认反馈消息。
17、目标基站通知源基站释放终端上下文。
18、源基站释放资源。
上述图2中的切换过程主要包括如下流程:
-切换准备(图2中的步骤2-6):源基站配置终端设备进行测量上报,并基于终端设备上报的测量报告向目标基站发送切换请求。当目标基站同意换请求后,会为终端设备配置RRC消息,该RRC消息携带移动性控制信息(mobilityControlInformation),其中包括随机接入信道(Random Access Channel,RACH)资源、小区无线网络临时标识(Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI)、目标基站的安全算法以及目标基站的系统消息等。
-切换执行(图2中的步骤7-11):源基站通过切换命令转发mobilityControlInformation给终端设备,终端设备收到切换命令后,向目标基站发起随机接入流程。同时源基站会向目标基站进行序列号状态转发(Serial Number STATUS TRANSFER,SN STATUS TRANSFER),告诉目标基站上行分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)SN接收状态以及下行PDCP SN发送状态。
-切换完成(图2中的步骤12-18):当终端设备成功接入目标基站后(即随机接入成功),目标基站会发起路径切换请求(PATH SWITCH REQUEST),请求核心网切换下行路径,路径切换完成后目标基站会指示源基站释放终端上下文,切换完成。
条件切换(Conditional handover)
对于某些特殊场景,比如终端设备高速移动或者高频的场景,需要终端设备在多个小区之间频繁的进行切换。相比较图2所示的切换流程来说,条件切换可以避免切换准备时间过长,导致终端设备的切换时延较长的问题。
参照图3,图3为本申请实施例提供的条件切换的流程图,该流程主要包括如下步骤:
1、源基站进行测量配置,终端设备基于测量配置进行测量上报。
2、源基站与目标基站之间进行切换准备。
3、源基站向终端设备发送切换命令,切换命令携带目标小区的配置信息和目标小区的切换条件。
4、终端设备判断切换条件是否满足,若切换条件满足,则根据目标小区的配置信息切换至目标基站。·
这里,源基站提前为终端设备配置切换命令,终端设备在每次切换时,无需重复执行步骤1-3来获取切换命令,只需要判断切换条件是否满足,并在切换条件满足的情况下切换至目标基站。
对于某些特殊场景,比如高铁场景,终端设备的运行轨迹是特定的,所以源基站可以提前把目标基站配给终端设备,并且在切换命令中携带用于触发终端设备进行切换的切换条件,当切换条件满足时,终端设备向目标基站发起接入请求。
在一些实施方式中,源基站可以在切换命令中携带多个目标小区的配置信息以及相应的切换条件,终端设备基于当前满足的切换条件判断接入哪个目标小区。
0中断切换(0ms interruption HO)
切换会带来传输中断,以下两种类型的切换可以缩短中断时间:
基于DC的切换(DC based HO):在切换时,先把目标基站添加为辅节点(Secondary Node,SN),然后通过角色变更(role change)信令把SN(即目标基站)变更为主节点(Master Node,MN),最后再把源基站释放掉从而达到切换时候中断时间减小的效果。
基于eMBB的切换(eMBB based HO):终端设备在收到切换命令时继续保持和源基站的连接同时向目标基站发起随机接入,直到终端色板与目标基站接入完成才释放源基站的连接。
载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)
CA即通过联合调度和使用多个成员载波(Component Carrier,CC)上的资源,使得NR系统可以支持更大的带宽,从而能够实现更高的系统峰值速率。根据所聚合载波的在频谱上的连续性可以分为,连续性载波聚合和非连续性载波聚合;根据聚合的载波所在的频段(band)是否相同,分为频段内(Intra-band)载波聚合和频段间(inter-band)载波聚合。
在CA中,有且只有一个主载波(Primary Cell Component,PCC),PCC提供RRC信令连接,非接入层(Non-Access Stratrum,NAS)功能,安全等。物理上行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PUCCH)在PCC上且只在PCC上存在。在CA中,可以有一个或多个辅载波(Secondary Cell Component,SCC),SCC只提供额外的无线资源。PCC和SCC同称为服务小区,其中,PCC上的小区为主小区(Pcell),SCC上的小区为辅小区(Scell)。标准上还规定聚合的载波最多支持5个,即聚合后的最大带宽为100MHZ,并且聚合载波属于同一个基站。所有的聚合载波使用相同的小区无线网络临时标识(Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI),基站实现保证C-RNTI在每个载波所在的小区不发生冲突。由于支持不对称载波聚合和对称载波聚合两种,所以要求聚合的载波一定有下行载波,可以没有上行载波。而且对于主载波小区来说一定有本小区的物理下行控 制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)和PUCCH,而且只有主载波小区有PUCCH,其他辅载波小区可能有PDCCH。
SCC的激活、去激活、添加、删除,需要一定的时延要求(delay),可能导致终端设备的传输发生中断(interruption)。
HO with PScell
PCell切换时,可以快速添加PSCell,这个过程称为HO with PScell过程,通过该过程可以实现快速的CA或DC建立,从而提高终端设备的数据传输能力和小区吞吐量。
参照图4,图4为本申请实施例提供的HO with PScell的流程图,该流程主要包括如下步骤:
1、源MN向目标MN发送切换请求(Handover Request)消息。
2、目标MN向目标SN发送SN添加请求(SN Addition)消息。
3、目标SN向目标MN发送SN添加请求-确认反馈(SN Addition Request Ack)消息。
4、目标MN向源MN发送切换请求-确认反馈(Handover Request Ack)消息。
5a、源MN向源SN发送SN释放请求(SN Release Request)消息。
5b、源SN向源MN发送SN释放请求-确认反馈(SN Release Request Ack)消息。
6、源MN向终端设备发送RRC连接重配置消息。
这里,RRC连接重配置消息携带在切换命令中。
7、终端设备向目标MN发起随机接入过程。
8、终端设备向目标MN发送RRC连接重配置完成消息。
9、终端设备向目标SN发起随机接入过程。
10、目标MN向目标SN发送SN重配置完成消息。
11a、源SN向源MN发送辅RAT数据用途报告(Secondary RAT Data Usage Report)。
11b、源MN向核心网发送辅RAT数据用途报告(Secondary RAT Data Usage Report)。
12a、源SN向源MN进行SN状态转发(SN Status Transfer)。
12b、源MN向目标MB进行SN状态转发(SN Status Transfer)。
12c、目标MN向目标SN进行SN状态转发(SN Status Transfer)。
13、服务网关(Serving Gateway)向源MN发送数据,源MN向目标MN进行数据转发。
14、目标MN向核心网路径切换请求。
15、核心网与服务网关之间进行承载修改。
16a、服务网关向目标MN下发新路径,该新路径对应于MN终结的承载(MN terminated bearer)。
16b、服务网关向目标SN下发新路径,该新路径对应于SN终结的承载(SN terminated bearer)。
17、核心网向目标MN发送路径切换请求-确认反馈消息。
18、目标MN通知源MB释放终端上下文。
19、源MN通知源SN释放终端上下文。
需要说明的是是,本申请实施例中,对于PCell切换,也可以理解为MN切换;对于PSCell添加,也可以理解为SN添加。
上述流程中,PCell切换过程涉及到的步骤主要有:步骤7和步骤8。PSCell添加过程涉及到的主要步骤有:步骤9和步骤10。PCell切换过程和PSCell添加过程的执行顺序尚不确定,也即步骤7和步骤8,以及步骤9和步骤10的时间线(Timeline)是不确定的。此外,PCell切换过程和PSCell添加过程的实现要求(如时延要求、中断要求)也是不确定的。
结合图4所示的流程,HO with PScell过程的起点,可以理解为终端设备接收到切换命令的时间点,然后,终端设备开始执行PCell切换过程和PSCell添加过程。图4给出的示例中,先执行PCell切换过程后执行PSCell添加过程,并且,PCell切换过程完成的时间点(即步骤8)比PSCell添加过程完成的时间点(即步骤10)要早。然而,PCell切换过程和执行PSCell添加过程的执行顺序并不局限于此,如何明确PCell切换过程和执行PSCell添加过程的执行顺序需要解决。此外,PCell切换过程和PSCell添加过程的实现要求(如时延要求、中断要求)也是不确定的。为此,提出了本申请实施例的以下技术方案。

所述终端设备确定所述PCell产生的中断要求为指定的中断要求。
这里,可选地,所述指定的中断要求可以是候选的多个中断要求中的最小值。所述指定的中断要求也可以称为最小中断要求。
在一些可选实施方式中,若所述能力指示信息指示所述终端设备不支持并行处理第一过程和第二过程的能力或者指示所述终端设备支持串行处理第一过程和第二过程的能力或者指示所述终端设备支持第二时延需求,则:
所述终端设备确定允许所述PCell产生中断要求。
在一些可选实施方式中,上述方案中,所述中断要求为协议预设的或者网络设备通过第二指示信息配置的。
在一些可选实施方式中,所述中断要求为网络设备通过第二指示信息配置的的情况下,所述中断要求基于所述终端设备上报的终端能力确定。在一些可选实施方式中,所述终端能力与以下至少之一关联:终端类型、终端设备支持的频段组合、终端设备是否支持并行处理所述第一过程和所述第二过程。
上述方案中,所述中断要求对应的时间通过一定数量的时间单元来表示,所述时间单元为时隙或者毫秒。这里,所述时间单元为时隙的情况下,所述时间单元的长度与所述PSCell的子载波间隔相关;或者,所述时间单元的长度与所述PSCell和所述PCell的子载波间隔相关,例如所述时间单元的长度基于PSCell和所述PCell的最小子载波间隔相关。
在一个示例中,对于并行处理第一过程和第二过程的情况,不允许PCell产生中断要求。例如,如果先完成了PCell切换过程,PSCell添加过程不能影响PCell的正常调度,即PCell的调度不会被打断,也可以理解为,PCell不会产生中断。
在一个示例中,对于串行处理第一过程和第二过程的情况,允许PCell产生中断要求。例如,完成了PCell切换过程后,PSCell添加过程会影响PCell的正常调度,即PCell的调度会被打断,也可以理解为,PCell会产生中断。
在一个示例中,PCell的中断要求基于终端能力确定。所述终端能力与以下至少之一关联:终端类型、终端设备支持的频段组合、终端设备是否支持并行处理所述第一过程和所述第二过程。例如:终端设备支持的频段组合为{频段1,频段2},对应的中断要求为0个时隙,终端设备支持的频段组合为{频段3,频段4},对应的中断要求为1个时隙,终端设备支持的频段组合为{频段1,频段4},对应的中断要求为2个时隙。例如:终端设备支持并行处理所述第一过程和所述第二过程,对应的中断要求为0个时隙,终端设备支持串行处理所述第一过程和所述第二过程,对应的中断要求为1个时隙。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,从终端设备的能力的角度分析是否可以并行执行两个过程。此外,由于PCell切换过程和PSCell添加过程需要一定的时间,带来了时延,因此明确了并行情况和串行情况分别对应的时延要求。此外,由于PSCell添加过程的执行有可能会造成PCell的中断,因此明确了并行情况和串行情况分别对应的中断要求。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,对于HO with PScell过程的时间线进行了明确,同时,结合了终端能力明确了时延需求和中断需求,使得HO with PScell过程的实现更具可实现性。
