一种切换方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2021年06月02日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110613607.7、申请名称为“一种切换方法及装置”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
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种切换方法及装置。
背景技术
在无线通信系统中,当终端设备发生移动时,根据信号强度的变化或者网络侧的负载均衡的需求,终端设备可能会从一个接入网设备(也称为源接入网设备)切换到另一个接入网设备(也称为目标接入网设备)。切换之前由源接入网设备为终端设备提供服务,切换完成后由目标接入网设备为终端设备提供服务。例如,在现有的切换方法中,终端设备对源接入网设备的小区和相邻接入网设备的小区的信号质量进行测量,源接入网设备根据终端设备测量的信号质量确定目标接入网设备,源接入网设备向目标接入网设备发起切换请求。
可以看出,现有技术是根据信号质量选择终端设备切换的目标网络设备。但是终端设备切换到目标接入网设备后的实际业务体验质量还会受到目标接入网设备的资源状态或负载状况等多种因素的影响,如果仅根据信号质量所选择目标接入网设备,可能无法满足终端设备的业务体验质量需求。如何提高切换后终端设备的业务体验质量,是需要考虑的问题。

首先对网络设备101和终端设备102的可能实现形式和功能进行举例介绍。
网络设备101为覆盖范围内的终端设备102提供服务。例如,参见图1a所示,网络设备101为网络设备101覆盖范围内的一个或多个终端设备102提供无线接入。
网络设备101为无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的节点,又可以称为基站,还可以称为RAN节点(或设备)。目前,一些网络设备101的举例为:下一代基站(next generation nodeB,gNB)、下一代演进的基站(next generation evolved nodeB,Ng-eNB)、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU),或无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wifi)接入点(access point,AP),网络设备101还可以是卫星,卫星还可以称为高空平台、高空飞行器、或卫星基站。网络设备101还可以是其他具有网络设备功能的设备,例如,网络设备101还可以是设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信、车联网或机器到机器(machine to machine,M2M)通信中担任网络设备功能的设备。网络设备101还可以是未来通信系统中任何可能的网络设备。
在一些部署中,网络设备可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和(distributed unit,DU)。网络设备还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现网络设备的部分功能,DU实现网络设备的部分功能,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。
终端设备102,又称之为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)等,是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。例如,终端设备102包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前,终端设备102可以是:手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备(例如智能手表、智能手环、计步器等),车载设备(例如,汽车、自行车、电动车、飞机、船舶、火车、高铁等)、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、智能家居设备(例如,冰箱、电视、空调、电表等)、智能机器人、车间设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线 终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端,或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、飞行设备(例如,智能机器人、热气球、无人机、飞机)等。终端设备102还可以是其他具有终端设备功能的设备,例如,终端设备102还可以是设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信、车联网或M2M通信中担任终端设备功能的设备。特别地,在网络设备间进行通信的时候,担任终端设备功能的网络设备也可以看作是终端设备。
通信系统100中还可以包括网络管理设备103。网络管理设备103可以提供网络的运维管理功能。例如网络管理设备103可以是操作维护管理模块(operations administration and maintenance,OAM)。OAM可以提供管理数据分析服务(management data analytics service,MDAS)的功能的服务,或者说网络管理设备103也可以是MDAS功能模块或MDAS功能实体,MDAS可以进行模型训练和管理数据分析。MDAS可以基于人工智能/机器学习(artificial intelligence/machine learning,AI/ML)技术实现。基于ML技术的MDAS处理流程如图1b所示,主要包括ML模型训练(ML model training)和管理数据分析(management data analysis,MDA)两部分。图1b中实线矩形框表示功能模块,椭圆内表示数据。分析输入即输入到模型进行分析中的数据。数据分类为MDAS生产者的内部功能,用于将分析输入所输入的数据进行分类,具体可以分为训练数据和分析数据,训练数据用于ML模型训练功能使用,分析数据用于管理数据分析功能使用。ML模型训练利用训练数据/验证数据进行模型训练,提供模型训练报告。管理数据分析使用训练好的模型分析管理数据,生成管理数据分析报告。ML模型训练和管理数据分析均属于MDAS生产者(producer)的内部功能,即MDAS生产者可以进行训练得到ML模型并输出训练报告,并利用训练好的ML模型对数据进行分析,向MDAS消费者(consumer)提供分析报告。MDAS可以被各类MDAS消费者调用,MDAS消费者例如可以是管理功能(management function,MF)、网络功能(network function,NF)、或自组织网络(self-organizing network,SON)功能等。
可以理解的是,图1a所示的通信系统中以一个终端设备、一个网络设备和一个OAM进行举例,实际应用中,通信系统中还可以包括更多数量的各个设备,本申请实施例不作限定。
本申请实施例中涉及到终端设备的业务体验质量,为了更好的理解本申请实施例提供的方案,首先对业务体验质量进行说明。
业务体验质量也可以简述为体验质量(quality of experience,QoE)。运营商可以为用户设备提供各式各样的业务,每个用户设备对运营商的服务质量的评价是根据其自身的具体主观感受形成的。QoE可以是指用户设备对设备、网络、系统、应用或业务等多方面考量的主观感受,可以包括对上述多方面考量的质量和性能的综合主观感受。可以用QoE来评价服务质量和网络性能,运营商也可以通过QoE评分来评估业务质量从而优化网络。
可以看出,QoE定义在用户层面,可以理解为用户设备实际感受到的网络和业务的服务质量(quality of service,QoS)为QoE。其中,服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)是通信系统或信道的常用性能指标之一,不同的系统及业务中其定义不尽相同,可以包括抖动、时延、丢包率、误码率、或信噪比。QoS可以用来衡量一个传输系统的传输质量和服务有效性,评估服务商满足客户需求的能力。QoS对于网络是可感知的,网络根据QoS需求为用户提供满足其需求的服务。而QoE对于网络是不可感知的,QoE由用户的主观感受决定,代表了用户终端的实际业务的体验质量。
本申请实施例中涉及到终端设备的切换,为了更好的理解本申请实施例提供的方案,以下对切换的概念进行说明。
连接移动性管理(connection mobility control,CMC)是移动网络下的一项基本功能,通常简称为切换。为了保障移动过程中的终端设备能够持续地接受网络服务,对于在小区间移动的终端设备,由源接入网设备对终端设备的空口状态保持监控,判断终端设备是否需要变更服务小区。在确定需要变更服务小区时,执行切换的流程,终端设备切换到目标接入网设备后,由目标接入网设备继续为终端设备提供网络服务。
通过上述描述可知,终端设备由源接入网设备服务,发生切换后,终端设备由目标接入网设备提供服务。
切换的技术有多种,如图2所示,以下给出一种常规切换方法的流程。
S201.源接入网设备向终端设备发送RRC连接重配置消息。
该RRC连接重配置消息包含测量配置信息,测量配置信息用于对终端设备的测量进行配置,测量配置信息包括要测量的目标频点、小区以及测量事件。
S202.终端设备根据测量配置信息进行测量,并上报测量结果。
测量结果包括通信链路的信道质量,具体可以包含本小区及邻区的信号质量信息。信号质量信息可以通过以下任意一项或多项参数表征:信号的接收功率、信号的信噪比(signal-to-noise and interference ratio,SINR)、信号的接收质量(received quality,RQ)或信号的接收信号强度(received signal strength indicator,RSSI)。若信号称为参考信号,则通信链路的信道质量可以通过以下任意一项或多项参数表征:参考信号的接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、参考信号的信噪比(reference signal signal-to-noise and interference ratio,RS-SINR)、参考信号的接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)或参考信号的接收信号强度(reference signal received signal strength indicator,RS-RSSI)。
S203.源接入网设备根据终端设备上报的测量结果进行评估,按照信号质量确定候选目标接入网设备列表。
S204.源接入网设备选择信号质量最好的接入网设备作为目标接入网设备,并向该目标接入网设备发送切换请求,切换请求中包含要切换的终端设备标识。
S205.目标接入网设备收到切换请求后进行准入控制。
S206.目标接入网设备判断可以允许用户接入,向源接入网设备返回切换请求响应。
S207.切换执行流程,源接入网设备通知终端设备进行切换,终端设备完成到目标接入网设备的随机接入。
图2实施例提供的切换技术中,根据终端设备测量的各个接入网设备的信号质量,选择信号质量最好的接入网设备作为目标接入网设备,终端设备在切换到目标接入网设备之后,并不一定能够获得最好的体验质量。除图2实施例提供的切换技术,多种切换技术也都是基于信号质量来选择目标接入网设备,因此,终端设备切换后获得的体验质量并一定理想。
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种切换方法,以期提高终端设备切换后获得的体验质量。
如图3所述,本申请实施例提供的切换方法的流程如下所述。该方法的执行主体包括第一网元。第一网元可以为网络管理设备,也可能为第一接入网设备。本申请实施例中,网络管理设备可以是图1a所示的通信系统中的OAM103或MDAS,接入网设备为网络设备101,终端设备可以是终端设备102。
S301.第一网元获取体验质量信息,体验质量信息用于指示预测的终端设备接入第二接入网设备后的体验质量。
体验质量信息包括预测的体验质量,或者体验质量信息指示预测的体验质量,该体验质量为终端设备接入第二接入网设备后的体验质量。体验质量信息根据第一数据和训练模型确定,第一数据包括第二接入网设备剩余的无线资源,第一数据还可以包括第二接入网设备剩余的虚拟资源。其中,还可以理解为第一数据包括资源信息,资源信息包括第二接入网设备剩余的无线资源,资源信息还可以包括第二接入网设备剩余的虚拟资源。
可选的,第一网元可通过如下方式获取体验质量信息:第一网元获取分析报告,分析报告包括预测的终端设备接入第二接入网设备之后的体验质量。其中,第二接入网设备的数量可以有一个或多个。
例如,第一接入网设备为终端设备的源接入网设备,第二接入网设备为相邻的接入网设备。
S302.第一网元根据体验质量信息从第二接入网设备中确定目标接入网设备。
可以理解的是,目标接入网设备为一个或多个第二接入网设备中的接入网设备。目标接入网设备为终端设备需要切换的接入网设备,换句话说,目标接入网设备用于终端设备从第一接入网设备至目标接入网设备的切换。
可以看出,第一网元能够考虑到终端设备切换到第二接入网设备后的体验质量,根据体验质量信息来确定终端设备切换的目标接入网设备,能够提高终端设备切换后获得的体验质量。
以下对图3实施例的可选实现方式进行说明。
第一数据除包括资源信息之外,还可以包括以下一项或多项信息:小区流量、终端设备的优先级指示信息、或终端设备的测量结果。
其中,小区流量用于指示第二接入网设备的小区在一段时间内传输的数据量。
终端设备的优先级指示信息用于指示终端设备接受服务的优先顺序。例如,如果终端设备A的优先级大于终端设备B的优先级,则第二接入网设备会优先为终端设备A分配服务资源。
终端设备的测量结果包括终端设备测量的该终端设备与第二接入网设备之间的通信链路的信道质量。终端设备测量的第二接入网设备的通信链路的信道质量可以包括以下一项或多项:信号的接收功率、SINR、RQ、RSSI、RSRP、RS-SINR、RSRQ或RS-RSSI。
生成分析报告的设备或者确定体验质量信息的设备可能是网络管理设备,也可能是第一接入网设备,以下分别对这两种情况进行说明。
第一网元可以是网络管理设备,第一网元也可以是第一接入网设备。
如果第一网元是网络管理设备,则:
S301中,网络管理设备获取体验质量信息。S302中,网络管理设备根据体验质量信息确定终端设备切换的目标接入网设备。可选的,还可以包括S303。
S303.网络管理设备向第一接入网设备发送目标接入网设备的信息。对应地,第一接入网设备接收来自目标接入网设备的信息。
如果第一网元是第一接入网设备,则:
S301中,第一接入网设备获取体验质量信息。第一接入网设备可以接收来自网络管理设备的体验质量信息。S302中,第一接入网设备根据体验质量信息确定终端设备切换的目 标接入网设备。
基于图3实施例,下面对切换方法的可能实现方式做进一步说明。
体验质量信息由网络管理设备生成,第一网元为网络管理设备时,网络管理设备生成体验质量信息即网络管理设备获取体验质量信息。当第一网元为第一接入网设备时,网络管理设备生成体验质量信息后,还可以向第一接入网设备发送该体验质量信息,第一接入网设备接收来自网络管理设备的体验质量信息。第一接入网设备获取体验质量信息具体地通过接收来自网络管理设备的体验质量信息实现。

可选的,网络管理设备可以预先训练并存储用于数据分析的模型,例如,用于数据分析的可以是ML模型。网络管理设备也可以从外部模型市场获取该用于数据分析的模型。
网络管理设备可以根据模型对输入数据进行分析,获得体验质量信息或获得分析报告。网络管理设备在接收到分析请求后,根据分析请求收集数据,所收集的数据可以认为是模型输入的第一数据,网络管理设备根据收集的数据确定体验质量信息或分析报告。该收集的数据以下称为第一数据,第一数据可以包括第一接入网设备的相邻设备的实时数据。例如,该第一数据可以包括第一接入网设备的相邻设备的小区流量,例如该一个或多个第二接入网设备的小区流量。第一数据包括资源信息,该第一数据可以包括第一接入网设备的相邻设备的资源分配情况和/或资源使用情况。其中,这里所述的资源可以包括上行资源、和/或下行资源等无线资源,无线资源可以是指物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)。 资源还可以是虚拟资源,例如中央控制单元(central processing unit,CPU)、存储器(memory)、或光盘(disk)等虚拟资源。第一数据中包括的资源信息中,可以包括第二接入网设备剩余的无线资源,还可以包括第二接入网设备剩余的虚拟资源。剩余的无线资源也可以称为可用的无线资源。剩余的虚拟资源也可以称为可用的虚拟资源。资源信息可以是资源的绝对值,例如50M;也可以是资源使用率,例如30%。
