为了便于理解本申请实施例,下面先对本申请实施例中涉及的术语做简单说明。应理解,这些说明仅为便于理解本申请实施例,而不应对本申请构成任何限定。
1、切换(handover,HO):
在无线通信系统中,当终端设备从一个小区移动到另一个小区,或由于网络原因、业务负荷量调整、设备故障等原因,终端设备可能从源小区切换到目标小区,以保障终端设备与网络之间通信的连续性。上述过程即称为“切换”。其中,终端设备由于移动、网络原因、业务负荷量调整、设备故障等原因,发生切换之前接入的小区,称为源小区。源小区对应的网络设备,称为源网络设备。终端设备由于移动、网络原因、业务负荷量调整、设备故障等原因,发生切换之后接入的小区,称为目标小区。目标小区对应的网络设备,称为目标网络设备。
2、为了提高系统的移动可靠性和鲁棒性,引入双激活协议栈切换(dual active protocol stack handover,DAPS HO)。在DAPS切换过程中,终端设备使用两个协议栈。其中,一个协议栈用于与源小区对应的源网络设备通信,另一个协议栈用于与目标小区对应的目标网络设备通信。参见图2,DAPS切换的处理过程包括如下步骤:
可选的,S200、终端设备确定触发事件。
示例性的,触发事件可以是源小区的信号质量低于预设值。
应理解,在终端设备执行S200之前,或执行S200的过程中,终端设备通过源网络设 备与用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元进行用户面数据传输。
可选的,S201、终端设备向源网络设备发送测量报告。相应的,源网络设备接收来自终端设备的测量报告。
其中,测量报告包括源小区的参考信号接收质量、邻小区的参考信号接收质量等信息。
S202、源网络设备确定待接入的小区。比如源网络设备可以基于测量报告和/或无线资源管理(radio resource management,RRM)信息做出切换决定(handover decision),确定待接入的小区。
S203、源网络设备向目标网络设备发送DAPS切换请求(handover request)消息。相应的,目标网络设备接收来自源网络设备的DAPS切换请求消息。
其中,DAPS切换请求消息用于请求将终端设备与源网络设备之间的连接切换至目标网络设备。
S204、目标网络设备执行接入控制(admission control),如确定是否与终端设备建立连接,若是,则执行S205:
S205、目标网络设备向源网络设备发送DAPS切换请求确认(handover request acknowledge)消息。相应的,源网络设备接收来自目标网络设备的DAPS切换请求确认消息。
其中,DAPS切换请求确认消息指示目标网络设备是否接受DAPS切换。
示例性的,DAPS切换请求确认消息包括用于切换配置的消息,比如无线资源控制重配置(radio resource control reconfig,RRC Reconfig)消息。在新空口(new radio,NR)中,RRC重配置消息具有同步的重配ReconfigurationWithSync信元。在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)中,RRC重配置消息具有移动控制信息MobilityControlInfo信元。其中,ReconfigurationWithSync信元和MobilityControlInfo信元均包括随机接入信息。随机接入信息用于终端设备进行随机接入。
S206、源网络设备向终端设备发送RRC重配置消息。相应的,终端设备接收来自源网络设备的RRC重配置消息。
其中,S206中的RRC重配置消息可以参见S205中的介绍,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,源网络设备并不读取RRC重配置消息中的内容,也不对RRC重配置消息中的内容进行修改,直接透传给终端设备。
可选的,S207、终端设备读取RRC重配置消息,并根据RRC重配置消息中的随机接入信息向目标小区对应的目标网络设备发起RACH过程。相应的,目标小区对应的目标网络设备执行与终端设备之间的RACH过程。其中,RACH过程的详细介绍可以参见相关技术,此处不再赘述。在DAPS切换过程中,终端设备在收到RRC重配置消息后不与源网络设备断开连接。
在RACH过程结束之后,终端设备执行S208:
S208、终端设备向目标网络设备发送RRC重配置完成消息。相应的,目标网络设备接收来自终端设备的RRC重配置完成消息。
S209、目标网络设备向源网络设备发送切换成功(HO success)消息。相应的,源网络设备接收来自目标网络设备的切换成功消息。
作为一种实现方式,对于源网络设备而言,源网络设备执行S209之后,不再与终端 设备进行上行数据和下行数据的传输。
需要说明的是,在图2所示的DAPS切换过程中,目标网络设备在执行S207之后,向终端设备发送释放消息。相应的,终端设备接收来自目标网络设备的释放消息。其中,释放消息指示释放终端设备与源网络设备之间的连接。终端设备根据释放消息,再释放自身与源网络设备之间的连接。
也就是说,在DAPS切换过程中,终端设备与源网络设备之间的连接未释放。在终端设备与目标网络设备之间切换成功之后,终端设备才释放与源网络设备之间的连接,以实现用户面传输的零毫秒中断,但终端设备与源网络设备之间的控制面信令不再进行交互。
然而,在终端设备和目标网络设备之间的RACH过程成功之前,可能存在如下情况:终端设备与网络设备之间的用户面传输中断。但终端设备成功切换至目标网络设备,相关协议中仍将上述情况归类为成功切换(successful handover)。其中,导致用户面传输中断的因素包括但不限于以下至少一项:第一项,终端设备检测到自身与源小区之间的连接发生无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF);第二项,源网络设备调度不合理,导致终端设备接收到重复的数据包。
3、无线链路失败报告(radio link failure report,RLF report)、成功切换报告(successful handover report,SHR)
目前,系统支持移动鲁棒性优化(mobility robustness optimization,MRO)机制。MRO是网络自优化的一个重要机制。终端设备发生与移动性相关的异常情况(例如切换失败、在目标小区的无线链路失败等)时,向网络设备上报发生移动性相关的异常参数。网络设备可以对终端设备上报的移动性参数进行自主分析,确定网络优化参数。其中,移动性参数可以承载于RLF报告或SHR。
其中,当终端设备发生了连接失败,终端设备记录RLF report。当终端设备再次发生连接失败,终端设备清空之前记录的RLF report,记录最新的RLF report。示例性的,RLF报告包括如下至少一种失败信息:
1)失败的主小区标识(failed primary cell identity,failedPcellID),即failedPcellID是终端设备检测到RLF的小区信息,或者切换失败的目标小区信息。
2)连接失败类型(connectionFailureType),如RLF或者HOF或者定时器T312到期。其中,定时器T312是终端设备发送测量报告后启动的定时器。
3)前主小区标识(previous primary cell identity,previousPCellId),即终端设备上一次收到切换消息的源小区信息。
4)重建立小区标识(reestablishment cell identity,reestablishmentCellId),即连接失败后发起重建立的小区信息。
5)连接失败时间(timeConnFailure),即终端设备最后一次收到切换消息到连接失败的时间。
6)连接失败时开始记录的时间长度(timeSinceFailure),一般指连接失败到上报RLF report的时间长度。
示例性的,RLF report的介绍可以参考相关协议,如3GPP TS 38.331中的UEInformationResponse内的描述,此处不再赘述。
其中,SHR是为了识别移动性成功场景下的潜在移动性失败的问题,而引入终端设备 记录和上报切换成功过程中的参数的报告。SHR包括潜在失败的成功切换的移动性相关的信息。源网络设备可以结合SHR和终端设备的上下文,来对终端设备的移动性进行优化。
示例性的,SHR触发条件(SHR trigger condition)包括以下至少一项:
第一项,定时器T310的运行时长大于或等于阈值1。其中,定时器T310的运行时长指示终端设备检测到与源网络设备之间有物理层问题(physical layer problems)的时长。启动定时器T310之后,该定时器T310运行期间,如果无线链路恢复,则该定时器T310停止。该定时器T310的运行时长大于或等于阈值X时,终端设备确定发生无线链路失败。其中,阈值1和阈值X是不同的阈值。通常,阈值1小于阈值X。
第二项,定时器T312的运行时长大于或等于阈值2。其中,定时器T312在定时器T310的运行期间启动。定时器T312的运行时长指示在定时器T312的运行期间,终端设备触发测量报告至终端设备与源网络设备恢复同步之间的时长。该定时器T312的运行时长大于或等于阈值Y时,终端设备确定发生无线链路失败。其中,阈值2和阈值Y是不同的阈值。通常,阈值2小于阈值Y。
第三项,定时器T304的运行时长大于或等于阈值3。其中,定时器T304的运行时长指示终端设备接收RRC重配置消息之后未接入目标网络设备的时长。终端设备在接收到RRC重配置消息时启动定时器T304,定时器T304的运行时长大于或等于阈值Z时,终端设备确定发生切换失败。其中,阈值3和阈值Z是不同的阈值。通常,阈值3小于阈值Z。
需要说明的是,上述阈值X、阈值Y和阈值Z可以由信元RLF-TimersAndConstants配置,与SHR触发条件中配置的阈值1、阈值2和阈值3不同。
示例性的,SHR触发条件承载于RRC重配置消息中。如此,终端设备通过接收RRC重配置消息来接收SHR触发条件。终端设备在确定满足SHR触发条件的情况下,记录SHR。然后,终端设备向源网络设备发送SHR,以使源网络设备确定网络优化参数。
需要说明的是,潜在移动性失败并不代表真正的失败,而是终端设备在切换的过程中,遇到了临近切换失败的现象,所以记录了SHR。例如,配置的是20ms内,终端设备能切换到目标小区就是成功切换,但是若阈值为18ms,终端设备经过19ms才切换成功。这种情况就属于潜在移动性失败。其中,终端设备的上下文,也可以描述为用户设备(user equipment,UE)上下文。示例性的,终端设备的上下文包括终端设备的鉴权信息,终端设备的网络能力信息等。
然而,在切换成功的情况下,终端设备也可能存在与网络设备之间的用户面传输中断的情况,如上述潜在移动性失败的问题。即使终端设备配置了SHR触发条件,但终端设备确定不满足SHR触发条件,终端设备也不记录SHR。并且,SHR触发条件的配置是非强制性的,网络侧有可能不为终端设备配置SHR触发条件。如此,终端设备可能并未记录SHR,从而造成网络侧无法优化处理用户面传输中断的问题。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供通信方法,本申请实施例通信方法(如第一种通信方法、第二种通信方法、第三种通信方法、或第四种通信方法)可以应用于图1所示的通信系统。在本申请实施例提供的通信方法中,切换过程以上述DAPS切换过程为例进行介绍,第一网络设备是终端设备在切换过程前接入的网络设备,即源网络设备,第二网络设备是终端设备在切换过程后接入的网络设备,即目标网络设备。本申请下述实施例中各个网元之间的消息名字或消息中各参数的名字等只是一个示例,具体实现中也可以是其他的名字。在 此统一说明,以下不再赘述。本申请实施例中,第一网络设备可以是源基站,第二网络设备可以是目标基站,第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以是同一个网络设备。
在本申请实施例提供的第一种通信方法中,终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的指示信息。其中,指示信息指示第一阈值。当切换过程中用户面传输中断时长大于或等于第一阈值时,终端设备记录第一报告。其中,第一报告指示用户面传输中断时长。这样一来,终端设备也就能够基于用户面传输中断时长,来触发第一报告的记录。由于第一报告包括用户面传输中断时长,所以,即使终端设备成功接入第二网络设备,但终端设备存在用户面传输中断的现象,第一报告也能够记录用户面传输中断时长,避免现有技术中此种情况下终端设备无法记录报告的问题,也为网络侧确定优化参数奠定了基础。
如图3所示,本申请实施例提供的第一种通信方法300包括如下步骤:
S301、第一网络设备获取指示信息。
其中,指示信息用于终端设备确定第一阈值。第一阈值用于触发终端设备记录第一报告,具体参见S303的描述,此处不再赘述。示例性的,指示信息可以直接指示第一阈值的取值。例如,第一阈值为10毫秒,指示信息包括“10毫秒”这一信息。或者,指示信息可以间接指示第一阈值的取值。例如,字符和第一阈值的取值之间存在一定的对应关系,如表1-1所示。
表1-1
指示信息为字符 第一阈值(单位:毫秒)
1 5
2 10
3 15
在表1-1中,数字“1”对应的第一阈值为5毫秒,数字“2”对应的第一阈值为10毫秒,数字“3”对应的第一阈值为15毫秒。应理解,在表1-1中,仅以第一阈值的取值为5毫秒、10毫秒、15毫秒为例进行介绍,第一阈值还可以有其他取值,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在表1-1中,仅以数字(如“1”、“2”、“3”)与第一阈值存在对应关系为例进行介绍,当然与第一阈值存在对应关系的还可以是字母、符号等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
结合表1-1,在指示信息携带数字“1”的情况下,终端设备根据表1-1和指示信息中携带的数字,即可确定第一阈值为5毫秒。在指示信息携带数字“2”的情况下,终端设备根据表1和指示信息中携带的数字,即可确定第一阈值为10毫秒。在指示信息携带数字“3”的情况下,终端设备根据表1-1和指示信息中携带的数字,即可确定第一阈值为15毫秒。
或者,指示信息可以间接指示第一阈值的取值。例如,指示信息指示第一阈值和对应的失败阈值之间的对应关系,如表1-2所示。若失败阈值为100ms,终端设备根据指示信息和失败阈值确定第一阈值如表1-2所示。
表1-2
指示信息为百分比 第一阈值(单位:毫秒)
50% 50
60% 60
80% 80
需要说明的是,上述仅是示例性的给出了指示信息指示第一阈值的方式,当然,指示信息也可以通过其他方式来指示第一阈值,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
用户面传输中断时长,可以指用户面传输中断起始标识至终止标识的时间间隔。示例性的,时间间隔的单位包括以下其中任一项:毫秒(millisecond)、符号(symbol)、时隙(slot)等。该起始标识和/或终止标识可以是协议预定义的,比如协议预定义用户面传输中断时长为“终端设备和第一网络设备之间成功传输的最后一个数据包(比如成功接收来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包,或成功向第一网络设备发送的最后一个数据包,或者上述两者之间时间上靠后的数据包)”到“终端设备和第二网络设备之间成功传输的首个数据包(比如成功接收来自第二网络设备的首个数据包,或成功向第二网络设备发送的首个数据包,或者上述两者之间时间上靠前的数据包)”之间的时间间隔。或者,指示信息可以用于指示用于确定用户面传输中断时长的起始标识和/或终止标识。
示例性的,作为第一种可能的实现方式,用户面传输中断的起始标识包括以下其中一项:
起始标识1a,终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送最后一个数据包。示例性的,终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送最后一个数据包,具体过程包括:终端设备监控数据包的发送状态。在终端设备监控到向第一网络设备成功发送的一个数据包(如记为数据包A)之后,若终端设备又监控到向第一网络设备成功发送的数据包(如记为数据包B),则终端设备确定数据包A不是成功发送的最后一个数据包,并且,终端设备继续监控数据包B之后的数据包是否发送成功,如此循环,直至终端设备监控到无法再继续向第一网络设备发送后续数据包(如记为数据包D、数据包E、数据包F等)。此种情况下,终端设备将数据包C,确定为终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送的最后一个数据包。其中,数据包C与数据包B可以是同一数据包,也可以是不同的数据包,如数据包B之后发送的数据包。反之,在终端设备监控到向第一网络设备成功发送的一个数据包(如记为数据包A)之后,若终端设备监控到无法再继续向第一网络设备发送后续数据包(如记为数据包B、数据包C、数据包D等),则终端设备确定数据包A为终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送的最后一个数据包。也可以理解为,终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送的最后一个数据包的后续相邻数据包是发送失败的数据包。
起始标识2a,终端设备成功接收来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包。示例性的,终端设备成功接收来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包,具体过程包括:终端设备监控数据包的接收状态。在终端设备监控到成功接收的来自第一网络设备的一个数据包(如记为数据包A)之后,若终端设备又监控到成功接收的来自第一网络设备的数据包(如记为数据包B),则终端设备确定数据包A不是成功接收的最后一个数据包,并且,终端设备继续监控数据包B之后的数据包是否接收成功,如此循环,直至终端设备监控到无法再接续接收后续数据包(如记为数据包D、数据包E、数据包F等)。此种情况下,终端设备将数据包C,确定为终端设备成功接收的来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包。其中,数据包C与数据包B可以是同一数据包,也可以是不同的数据包,如数据包B之后成功接收的来自第一网络设备的数据包。反之,在终端设备监控到成功接收的来自第一网络设备的一个数据包(如记为数据包A)之后,若终端设备监控到无法再继续接收后续数据包(如记为 数据包B、数据包C、数据包D等),则终端设备确定数据包A为终端设备成功接收的来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包。也可以理解为,终端设备成功接收的来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包的后续相邻数据包是接收失败的数据包。
用户面传输中断的终止标识包括以下其中一项:
终止标识1a,终端设备向第二网络设备成功发送首个数据包。
终止标识2a,终端设备成功接收来自第二网络设备的首个数据包。
应理解,在第一种可能的实现方式中,起始标识和终止标识可以任意组合。例如,用户面传输中断时长,可以是指,终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送最后一个数据包,与终端设备向第二网络设备成功发送首个数据包之间的时长。相应的,指示信息指示的起始标识为上述起始标识1a。指示信息指示的终止标识为上述终止标识1a。再如,用户面传输中断时长,可以是指,终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送最后一个数据包,与终端设备向第二网络设备成功发送首个数据包之间的时长。相应的,指示信息指示的起始标识为上述起始标识1a。指示信息指示的终止标识为上述终止标识2a。又如,用户面传输中断时长,可以是指,终端设备成功接收来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包,与终端设备向第二网络设备成功发送首个数据包之间的时长。相应的,指示信息指示的起始标识为上述起始标识2a。指示信息指示的终止标识为上述终止标识1a。又如,用户面传输中断时长,可以是指,终端设备成功接收来自第一网络设备的最后一个数据包,与终端设备向第二网络设备成功发送首个数据包之间的时长。相应的,指示信息指示的起始标识为上述起始标识2a。指示信息指示的终止标识为上述终止标识2a。
示例性的,作为另一种可能的实现方式,用户面传输中断的起始标识包括以下其中一项:
起始标识1b,终端设备与第一网络设备之间出现下行失步(out-of-sync)。
起始标识2b,终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。示例性的,终端设备确定定时器T310(或定时器T312)超时时,确定与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。其中,终端设备确定发生RLF的过程可以参见相关现有技术,此处不再赘述。
起始标识3b,第二定时器启动。其中,第二定时器的运行时长指示终端设备检测到与第一网络设备之间有物理层问题的时长。示例性的,第二定时器可以是上述定时器T310。
起始标识4b,第三定时器启动。其中,第三定时器的运行时长指示在上述第三定时器运行期间,终端触发测量报告至终端设备与第一网络设备恢复同步之间的时长。示例性的,第三定时器可以是上述定时器T312。
起始标识5b,终端设备成功接收到重复的数据包。
中断定时器的终止标识包括以下其中一项:
终止标识1b,终端设备与第二网络设备之间的随机接入过程完成。
终止标识2b,终端设备发送RRC重配置完成(RRCReconfigurationComplete)消息完成。
终止标识3b,终端设备与第二网络设备之间下行同步。
终止标识4b,第二定时器停止。
终止标识5b,第三定时器停止。
应理解,在第二种可能的实现方式中,起始标识和终止标识可以任意组合。例如,用 户面传输中断时长,可以是指,第二定时器启动,与第二定时器停止之间的时长。相应的,指示信息指示的起始标识为上述起始标识3b。指示信息指示的终止标识为上述终止标识4b。当然,在第二种可能的实现方式中,起始标识和终止标识还可以有其他的组合形式,此处不再一一列举。容易理解的是,上述第一种可能的实现方式和第二种可能的实现方式之间的起始标识和终止标识也可以任意组合。例如,用户面传输中断时长,可以是指,终端设备向第一网络设备成功发送最后一个数据包,与第二定时器停止之间的时长。相应的,指示信息指示的起始标识为上述起始标识1a。指示信息指示的终止标识为上述终止标识4b。当然,在上述两种可能的实现方式(即上述第一种可能的实现方式和第二种可能的实现方式)之间,起始标识和终止标识还可以有其他的组合形式,此处不再一一列举。
其中,S301的具体实现过程包括但不限于如下两种方式(下述方式1和方式2):
方式1,如图4中“方式1”所在的虚线框所示,第一网络设备执行S301a:
S301a、第一网络设备确定指示信息。
示例性的,第一网络设备确定第一阈值的取值大小。
可选地,在指示信息还指示用户面传输中断的起始标识的情况下,第一网络设备从上述起始标识1a~2a(或起始标识1b~5b、或起始标识1a~2a和起始标识1b~5b)中,确定指示信息所指示的起始标识。在指示信息还指示用户面传输中断的终止标识的情况下,第一网络设备从上述终止标识1a~2a(或终止标识1b~5b、或终止标识1a~2a和终止标识1b~5b)中,确定指示信息所指示的终止标识。
方式2,如图4中“方式2”所在的虚线框所示,第二网络设备执行S301b和S301c:
S301b、第二网络设备确定指示信息。
示例性的,作为第一种可能的实现方式,第二网络设备自主确定指示信息。此种情况下,S301b的实现过程可以参见S301a的介绍,区别点在于,S301a的执行主体为第一网络设备,而S301b的执行主体为第二网络设备,此处不再赘述。
S301c、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送指示信息。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的指示信息。
示例性的,从承载的消息上来说,指示信息可以承载于HO请求确认消息中,也可以承载于其他消息,或者也可以单独传输。从传输的时间上来说,指示信息可以与HO请求确认消息同时传输,也可以在HO请求确认消息之前传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。其中,HO请求确认消息可以是DAPS切换请求确认消息,具体可以参见S205的介绍,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,HO请求确认消息包括RRC重配置消息。指示信息承载于HO请求确认消息,可以有两种实现方式:第一种实现方式中,指示信息承载于RRC重配置消息中;第二种实现方式中,指示信息承载于RRC重配置消息外,且承载于HO请求确认消息中。进一步地,在指示信息承载于RRC重配置消息中的情况下,指示信息可以承载于SHR触发条件中,也可以是独立于SHR触发条件的,如指示信息承载于SHR触发条件之外,且承载于RRC重配置消息中,本申请实施例对此不作限定。其中,SHR触发条件的介绍可以参见名词解释部分中关于SHR的介绍,此处不再赘述。
在方式2的S301b中,作为第二种可能的实现方式,第二网络设备基于参考信息确定指示信息。如图5a所示,本申请实施例通信方法300还包括:
S301d、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送信息A。相应的,第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的信息A。
其中,信息A包括参考信息(如图5a中“方式一”所在的方框所示)和/或请求信息(如图5a中“方式二”所在的方框所示)。
如图5a中“方式一”所在的方框所示,以信息A包括参考信息为例进行介绍,参考信息指示第一网络设备确定的初始阈值。可选地,参考信息还指示第一网络设备确定的初始标识,如初始的起始标识,初始的终止标识等。例如,第一网络设备从上述起始标识1a~2a(或起始标识1b~5b、或起始标识1a~2a和起始标识1b~5b)中,确定参考信息所指示的,且用于第二网络设备参考的起始标识。此种情况下,参考信息还指示用户面传输中断的,且用于第二网络设备参考的起始标识。再如,第一网络设备从上述终止标识1a~2a(或终止标识1b~5b、或终止标识1a~2a和终止标识1b~5b)中,确定参考信息所指示的,且用于第二网络设备参考的终止标识。此种情况下,参考信息还指示用户面传输中断的,且用于第二网络设备参考的终止标识。
示例性的,从承载的消息上来说,参考信息可以承载于HO请求消息中,也可以承载于其他消息,还可以单独传输。从传输的时间上来说,参考信息可以与HO请求消息同时传输,也可以在HO请求消息之前传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。其中,HO请求消息可以是DAPS切换请求消息,具体可以参见S203的介绍,此处不再赘述。
应理解,在参考信息与HO请求消息同时传输的情况下,S301c中的指示信息与HO请求确认消息同时传输。在参考信息在HO请求消息之前传输的情况下,S301c中的指示信息可以与HO请求确认消息同时传输,也可以在HO请求确认消息之前传输,本申请实例对此不作限定。
在第二网络设备执行S301d的情况下,如图5a中“方式一”所在的方框所示,S301b的具体实现过程包括:第二网络设备基于参考信息确定指示信息。其中,S301b中的参考信息与S301d中的参考信息一致。例如,参考信息指示至少一个初始阈值。第二网络设备对参考信息指示的某一个初始阈值进行修改,并将修改后的数值作为第一阈值。当然,第二网络设备也可以不作修改,将参考信息指示的一个初始阈值作为指示信息指示的第一阈值,本申请实施例对此不作限定。再如,参考信息指示至少两个初始阈值。第二网络设备从参考信息指示的至少两个初始阈值中选择一个初始阈值,作为第一阈值。
可选的,在参考信息还指示至少一个初始的起始标识的情况下,第二网络设备对参考信息指示的某一个起始标识进行修改,并将修改后的起始标识作为指示信息指示的起始标识。当然,第二网络设备也可以不作修改,将参考信息指示的一个初始的起始标识作为指示信息指示的起始标识,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在参考信息还指示至少两个初始的起始标识的情况下,第二网络设备从参考信息指示的至少两个起始标识中选择一个标识,作为指示信息指示的起始标识。
可选的,在参考信息还指示至少一个初始的终止标识的情况下,第二网络设备对参考信息指示的某一个终止标识进行修改,并将修改后的终止标识作为指示信息指示的终止标识。当然,第二网络设备也可以不作修改,将参考信息指示的一个初始的终止标识作为指示信息指示的终止标识,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在参考信息还指示至少两个初始的终止标识的情况下,第二网络设备从参考信息指示的至少两个终止标识中选择一个标识, 作为指示信息指示的终止标识。
如图5a中“方式二”所在的方框所示,以信息A包括请求信息为例进行介绍,请求信息请求第二网络设备配置指示信息。也就是说,在第一网络设备不执行S301a的情况下,第一网络设备请求第二网络设备配置指示信息。在第二网络设备执行S301d的情况下,如图5a中“方式二”所在的方框所示,S301b的具体实现过程包括:第二网络设备根据请求信息确定指示信息。也就是说,第二网络设备是响应于请求信息,才配置指示信息的,以简化第二网络设备的处理复杂程度。
在一些实施例中,如图5b所示,本申请实施例通信方法300还包括S301e和S301f。其中,第一网络设备可以先执行S301f(如情况1的介绍),第一网络设备也可以先执行S301e和S301f。其中,S301e和S301f的介绍如下:
S301e、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送信息X。相应的,第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的信息X。
其中,信息X用于请求第二网络设备反馈是否支持SHR功能。支持SHR功能,可以理解为,具备接收SHR、识别SHR、向其它网络设备发送SHR、或读取SHR中信息的能力等的至少一种。
示例性的,第一网络设备在发送HO请求消息之前,执行S301e。
S301f、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送信息Y。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的信息Y。
其中,信息Y指示第二网络设备是否支持SHR功能。
示例性的,第二网络设备执行S301e之后,根据信息X和自身的设备能力,确定信息Y,然后,执行S301f。
作为又一种可能的实现方式,若第二网络设备不支持SHR功能,可能无法识别S301e中的信息X,在S301f中也可以不携带任何指示SHR功能的信息,即若步骤S301f中没有携带是否支持SHR功能的信息,也可以理解为第二网络设备不支持SHR功能。
通过上述S301e和S301f,或上述S301f,第一网络设备即可获知第二网络设备是否支持SHR功能。在信息Y指示第二网络设备支持SHR功能的情况下,第一网络设备执行S301d或S301a,从而配置指示信息。反之,在信息Y指示第二网络设备不支持SHR功能的情况下,第一网络设备不执行S301d和S301a,从而避免浪费传输资源。
需要说明的是,S301e和S301f均是可选的步骤。第一网络设备可以不执行S301e和S301f,而直接执行S301d或S301a。在第二网络设备支持SHR功能的情况下,若第二网络设备执行S301d,第二网络设备即可成功接收和识别信息A,基于信息A来确定指示信息,可以参见S301中方式2的第二种实现方式的介绍,此处不再赘述。在第二网络设备不支持SHR功能的情况下,第二网络设备无法识别信息A。此种情况下,第二网络设备不执行SS301b和S301c,第一网络设备也不执行S301a。由于S301e和S301f未执行,节省了传输资源的开销。作为一种方式,第一网络设备可以执行S301f,但不执行S301e。也就是说,第二网络设备主动向第一网络设备提供自身是否支持SHR功能,以使得第一网络设备获知第二网络设备是否支持SHR功能,避免信息A的传输导致的传输资源浪费。作为另一种方式,第一网络设备可以执行S301e和S301f。也就是说,第二网络设备是响应于第一网络设备的请求,才执行S301f,以简化第二网络设备的处理复杂程度。
S302、第一网络设备向终端设备发送指示信息。相应的,终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的指示信息。
其中,S302中的指示信息与S301中的指示信息一致。
示例性的,从承载的消息上来说,指示信息可以承载于RRC重配置消息中,也可以承载于其他消息(如RRC建立(RRCSetup)消息、RRC重建立(RRCReestablishment)消息、RRC恢复(RRCResume)消息、或系统消息),还可以单独传输。进一步地,指示信息承载于RRC重配置消息中的情况,可以参见S301c的介绍,此处不再赘述。
示例性的,从传输的时间上来说,指示信息可以与RRC重配置消息同时传输,也可以在RRC重配置消息之前传输,如通过RRC建立消息、RRC重建立消息、RRC恢复消息、或系统消息传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,在S301c中的指示信息与HO请求确认消息同时传输的情况下,S302中的指示信息与RRC重配置消息同时传输。在S301c中的指示信息在HO请求确认消息之前传输的情况下,S302中的指示信息可以与RRC重配置消息同时传输,也可以在RRC重配置消息之前传输,本申请实例对此不作限定。
S303、当切换过程中用户面传输中断时长大于或等于第一阈值时,终端设备记录第一报告。
其中,第一报告指示用户面传输中断时长。示例性的,第一报告包括预设数量的比特,第一报告通过预设数量的比特来指示用户面传输中断时长。其中,用户面传输中断时长的定义可以参见S301的介绍,此处不再赘述。可选的,第一报告还指示以下至少一项:
第一项,触发记录第一报告的原因,如用户面传输中断时长大于或等于第一阈值,或定时器T310的运行时长大于或等于定时器T310对应的阈值,或定时器T312的运行时长大于或等于定时器T312对应的阈值。
第二项,用户面传输中断的起始标识。
第三项,用户面传输中断的停止标识。
第四项,源小区的无线网络临时标识(source cell radio network temporary identifier,CRNTI)。
第五项,重复接收的数据包的数量。示例性的,在用户面传输中断时长内或者DAPS切换过程中,终端设备接收重复的数据包,且记录重复接收的数据包的数量。
第六项,重复接收的数据包的比例。示例性的,在用户面传输中断时长内或者DAPS切换过程中,终端设备接收重复的数据包(如记为第一数据包),以及未重复的数据包(如记为第二数据包),且记录第一数据包的数量(如记为x个数据包)和第二数据包的数量(如记为y个数据包)。重复接收的数据包的比例满足如下公式(1)或公式(2):
K=x/y      公式(1)
其中,K表示重复接收数据包的比例,x表示第一数据包的数量,y表示第二数据包的数量。
K=x/(x+y)     公式(2)
其中,K表示重复接收数据包的比例,x表示第一数据包的数量,y表示第二数据包的数量。
应理解,上述公式(1)和公式(2)仅是示例性的给出了重复接收的数据包的比例满 足的计算公式,当然,终端设备还可以根据其他计算方式,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,上述第一项至第四项,适用于用户面传输中断的起始标识和终止标识实现为第一种可能的实现方式和第二种可能的实现方式的情况,详见S301的介绍,此处不再赘述。上述第五项和第六项,适用于用户面传输中断的起始标识和终止标识实现为第二种可能的实现方式的情况,详见S301的介绍,此处不再赘述。其中,重复接收的数据包的数量(或比例),能够表征第一网络设备数据调度不合理的程度。例如,第一网络设备数据调度不合理程度越高,重复接收的数据包的数量越大,重接接收的数据包的比例也就越高。
应理解,第一报告,也可以有其他名称,如SHR,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在本申请实施例中,仅以第一报告为例进行介绍。
示例性的,S303的具体实现过程可以包括但不限于如下介绍:在第一定时器的运行时长大于或等于第一阈值的情况下,终端设备记录第一报告。
其中,第一定时器的运行时长指示用户面传输中断时长。也就是说,第一定时器的启动标识与用户面传输中断时长的起始标识相同。例如,当终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF时,第一定时器启动。第一定时器的停止标识与用户面传输中断时长的终止标识相同。例如,当终端设备向第二网络设备成功发送首个数据包时,第一定时器停止。若第一定时器一直运行,且运行时长超过第一阈值,则终端设备记录第一报告。
应理解,第一定时器,也可以描述为其他名称,如中断定时器(interruption timer),本申请实施例对此不作限定。相应的,在第一定时器描述为中断定时器的情况下,第一阈值也可以描述为中断定时器阈值(interruption timer threshold),当然,第一阈值也可以有其他名称,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在本申请实施例中,均以第一定时器和第一阈值为例进行介绍。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,仅以第一定时器的运行时长为例,来呈现用户面传输中断时长。当然,终端设备也可以采用其他方式来记录用户面传输中断时长,如终端设备自身记录一个时长,本申请实施例对此不作限定。

其中,S304中的第一报告与S303中的第一报告一致。
示例性的,S304的实现过程包括但不限于如下三种方式:
方式1,终端设备直接向第一网络设备发送第一报告。相应的,第一网络设备直接接收来自终端设备的第一报告。
方式2,S304的实现过程包括两个步骤1a和步骤2a:
步骤1a,终端设备向第二网络设备发送第一报告。相应的,第二网络设备直接接收来自终端设备的第一报告。
步骤2a,第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一报告。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的第一报告。可选的,第二网络设备可以通过第二网络设备和第一网络设备之间的接口向第一网络设备发送第一报告,或者,第二网络设备可以通过核心网设备向第一网络设备发送第一报告。
方式3,S304的实现过程包括两个步骤1b和步骤2b:
步骤1b,终端设备向第三网络设备发送第一报告。相应的,第三网络设备直接接收来自终端设备的第一报告。
其中,第三网络设备是除第一网络设备和第二网络设备之外的网络设备。并且,第三网络设备支持SHR功能,且能够与终端设备进行信息交互。其中,支持SHR功能的介绍可以参见S301e的介绍,此处不再赘述。
步骤2b,第三网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一报告。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第三网络设备的第一报告。可选的,第三网络设备可以通过第三网络设备和第一网络设备之间的接口向第一网络设备发送第一报告,或者,第三网络设备可以通过核心网设备向第一网络设备发送第一报告。
应理解,S304中的方式1、方式2和方式3仅是示例性的介绍了第一报告的传输过程。当然,终端设备还可以采用其他的方式,向第一网络设备提供第一报告,本申请实施例对此不作限定。另外,终端设备也可以执行S303之后,不执行S304,即终端设备不发送第一报告。可选地,在一段时间之后,终端设备删除上述第一报告,以节省终端设备的存储资源。
S305、第一网络设备根据第一报告,确定网络优化参数。
示例性的,第一网络设备可以结合第一报告和终端设备的上下文,来对终端设备的移动性进行优化,以得到网络优化参数,从而优化处理潜在移动性失败的问题。
在本申请实施例通信方法300中,指示信息指示第一阈值,终端设备在用户面传输中断时长大于或等于第一阈值的情况下,记录第一报告。其中,第一报告包括用户面传输中断时长。即使终端设备成功接入第二网络设备,但切换过程中终端设备存在用户面传输中断的现象,第一报告也能够记录用户面传输中断时长,避免现有技术中终端设备无法记录报告的问题,也为网络侧确定优化参数奠定了基础。
容易理解的是,在本申请实施例第一种通信方法300中,终端设备与网络设备之间的用户面传输中断,可以描述为,在DAPS切换过程中,终端设备与源网络设备之间的用户面传输中断,也可以描述为,在DAPS切换过程中,终端设备与源网络设备之间的用户面传输中断,且未与目标网络设备之间进行用户面传输。
应理解,本申请实施例第一种通信方法300也可以适用于其他场景,如双连接(dual-connectivity,DC)场景,即终端设备同时与两个网络设备建立通信连接。上述两个网络设备中包括一个主网络设备(如主站(master gNB,MgNB))和一个辅网络设备(如辅站(seconary gNB,SgNB))。在主网络设备发生切换的情况下,上述第一网络设备可以是源主站,第二网络设备可以是目标主站,具体实现过程可以参见通信方法300的介绍,此处不再赘述。在辅网络设备发生切换的情况下,上述第一网络设备可以是源辅站,第二网络设备可以是目标辅站,具体实现过程可以参见通信方法300的介绍,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例第一种通信方法300中,仅以第一报告的触发条件为“切换过程中用户面传输中断时长大于或等于第一阈值”为例进行描述。
下面,本申请实施例还提供第五种通信方法。在本申请实施例提供的第五种通信方法中,终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的触发条件。其中,触发条件至少包括切换过程中终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。当满足触发条件时,终端设备记录SHR。其中,SHR至少指示终端设备满足的触发条件。这样一来,在切换过程中,若终端设备与第一网络设 备之间发生RLF,则终端设备记录此情况,即上述SHR至少指示终端设备满足的触发条件,以指示终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF,避免现有技术中此种情况下终端设备无法记录的问题,也为网络侧确定优化参数奠定了基础。
如图13所示,本申请实施例提供的第五种通信方法1300包括如下步骤:
S1301、第一网络设备获取触发条件。
其中,触发条件包括以下至少一项:
第一项,用户面传输中断的时长大于或等于第一阈值。其中,用户面传输中断和第一阈值,可以参见本申请实施例第一种通信方法300的介绍,此处不再赘述。
第二项,终端设备在切换过程中与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。其中,终端设备在切换过程中与第一网络设备之间发生RLF,也可以替换为:终端设备和第二网络设备完成成功的随机接入之前,与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。
示例性的,对于第二项触发条件而言,确定过程如下:第二项触发条件可以由第一网络设备确定,也可以由第二网络设备确定,然后,第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送信息1。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的信息1。其中,信息1指示触发条件包括终端设备在切换过程中与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。示例性的,信息1所承载的消息和传输的时间,可以参见S301c中关于指示信息的介绍,此处不再赘述。
示例性的,触发条件,也可以有其他名称,本申请实施例对此不作限定。示例性的,在记录SHR的场景下,上述触发条件也可以包括SHR触发条件,详见SHR trigger condition的介绍,此处不再赘述。
S1302、第一网络设备向终端设备发送触发条件。相应的,终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的触发条件。
其中,S1302中的触发条件与S1301中的触发条件一致。
示例性的,触发条件在第一网络设备和终端设备之间的传输状况,可以参见S302中关于指示信息的介绍,此处不再赘述。
S1303、当满足触发条件时,终端设备记录SHR。
其中,SHR至少指示终端设备满足的触发条件,也可以理解为,触发记录SHR的原因。下面,对SHR的指示方式进行介绍:
作为一种可能的实现方式,SHR可以直接指示终端设备满足的触发条件。例如,在用户面传输中断的时长大于或等于第一阈值的情况下,SHR直接指示用户面传输中断的时长大于或等于第一阈值。再如,在切换过程中终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF的情况下,SHR直接指示切换过程中终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。
作为也一种可能的实现方式,SHR也可以间接指示终端设备满足的触发条件。例如,各项触发条件与数字之间的对应关系,如表2所示。例如,在用户面传输中断的时长大于或等于第一阈值的情况下,SHR直接指示数字“0”。再如,在切换过程中终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF的情况下,SHR直接指示数字“1”。
表2
数字 触发条件
0 用户面传输中断的时长大于或等于第一阈值
1 终端设备在切换过程中与第一网络设备之间发生RLF
需要说明的是,上述仅是示例性的给出了SHR指示终端设备满足的触发条件的方式,当然,SHR也可以通过其他方式来指示终端设备满足的触发条件,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的,以第二项触发条件为例,S1303的实现过程如下:
在切换过程中,终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF的情况下,终端设备确定满足该项触发条件。此种情况下,终端设备记录SHR。其中,SHR指示切换过程中终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。
应理解,在记录SHR的场景下,上述触发条件还可以包括SHR触发条件。相应的,终端设备执行S1303的情况下,终端设备仍记录SHR,详见相关技术的介绍,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,针对SHR指示切换过程中终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF的情况,SHR可以指示发生上述RLF的原因。示例性的,发生RLF的原因包括以下至少一项:
第一项,第二定时器超时。其中,第二定时器的运行时长指示终端设备检测到与第一网络设备之间有物理层问题的时长。示例性的,第二定时器可以是上述定时器T310。
第二项,波束失败恢复失败。
第三项,随机接入失败。
第四项,重传达到最大次数。示例性的,无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层的数据包达到了最大重传次数,导致RLF。
第五项,先听后说(listen before talk,LBT)失败。示例性的,LBT的介绍如下:在非授权频段上,无法时刻保证信道的可用性。在传输上行数据之前,终端设备进行空闲信道评估,以确保信道空闲的情况下传输上行数据。若LBT成功,则终端设备传输上行数据。若LBT失败,则终端设备放弃传输本次上行数据,后续待信道空闲时再传输上行数据。
第六项,回传链路RLF恢复失败(backhaul(BH)RLF恢复失败)。示例性的,在接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)场景中,终端设备为IAB移动终端(IAB mobile terminal,IAB-MT),若其收到回传链路自适应协议栈(backhaul adaptation protocol,BAP)实体发送的回传链路RLF指示,确定RLF的原因为BH RLF恢复失败。
应理解,上述六项,仅是示例性的给出了RLF的原因。当然,RLF的原因还可以包括其他原因,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
如此,SHR可以指示上述六项原因中的一项或多项,从而指示切换过程中终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF。
可选的,SHR还指示随机接入的信息。和第一网络设备之间导致RLF的随机接入信息示例性的,SHR指示的随机接入的信息包括以下至少一项:
第一项,绝对频点位置。其中,绝对频点位置指示了频域上的参考点,以提高资源分配灵活性。示例性的,绝对频点位置可以是Point A。
第二项,物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)的频域位置。其中,PRACH用于进行随机接入,即终端设备通过PRACH接入。PRACH的频域位置是相对于绝对频点位置所指示的PRACH资源位置。示例性的,PRACH的频域位置是从第15个资源块(resource block,RB)开始的预设数量的RB,可以理解为,以绝对频点位置 为首个RB,从第15个RB开始的预设数量的RB,均属于PRACH所在的资源位置。
第三项,PRACH的带宽。示例性的,PRACH的带宽为10个RB,或其他数量的RB,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
第四项,PRACH的子载波间隔。其中,PRACH的子载波间隔为15kHz,或30kHz,或其他数值,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,SHR可以指示上述信息中的一项,如SHR指示PRACH的带宽,或指示PRACH的子载波间隔。或者,SHR可以指示上述信息中的两项,如SHR指示绝对频点位置,以及PRACH的频域位置,或者,SHR指示PRACH的带宽和子载波间隔,或者其他组合,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,仅以上述三项信息为例,对随机接入的信息进行介绍。当然,随时接入的信息还可以包括其他信息,如在同一时间上频分复用(frequency-division multiplexing,FDM)的PRACH传输时机(transmission occasion)的个数,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选的,S1304、终端设备向第一网络设备发送SHR。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自终端设备的SHR。
其中,S1304中的SHR与S1303中的SHR一致。
示例性的,S1304的实现过程可以参见S304的介绍,此处不再赘述。
可选的,S1305、第一网络设备根据SHR,确定网络优化参数。
示例性的,第一网络设备可以结合SHR和终端设备的上下文,来对终端设备的移动性进行优化,以得到网络优化参数,从而优化处理潜在移动性失败的问题。
在本申请实施例通信方法1300中,若终端设备在切换过程中,与第一网络设备之间发生RLF,则终端设备记录此情况,即上述SHR至少指示终端设备满足的触发条件,以指示终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生RLF,避免现有技术中此种情况下终端设备无法记录的问题,也为网络侧确定优化参数奠定了基础。
在终端设备的DAPS切换成功但与源网络设备发生RLF的场景下,终端设备记录RLF报告。假若终端设备同时配置了SHR触发条件(详见名词解释部分关于SHR触发条件的介绍),且满足SHR触发条件的情况下,终端设备也记录SHR。也就是说,终端设备针对同一次移动性异常(如上述RLF),记录了RLF报告和SHR。其中,RLF报告和SHR中的部分移动性参数是重复的。在终端设备向源网络设备发送RLF报告和SHR的情况下,源网络设备基于RLF报告和SHR分别确定网络优化参数,且基于RLF报告和SHR分别确定的网络优化参数对同一移动性参数进行调整,从而使得同一移动性参数调整了两次,容易导致过度调整的问题。示例性的,在移动性参数包括切换阈值的情况下,切换阈值的初始值为XdB。源网络设备基于RLF报告确定切换阈值降低0.5dB。如此,源网络设备基于RLF报告所确定的网络优化参数,在切换阈值的初始值XdB的基础上,降低了0.5dB,如此,切换阈值调整为(X-0.5)dB。源网络设备基于SHR确定切换阈值降低0.5dB即可满足移动性指标。如此,源网络设备基于SHR所确定的网络优化参数,确定切换阈值的调整值(X-0.5)dB的基础上,再次降低了0.5dB,如此,切换阈值调整为(X-0.5-0.5)dB,从而造成过度调整的问题。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供第二种通信方法和第三种通信方法。其中,在本申请实施例提供的第二种通信方法中,终端设备执行DAPS切换过程中,检测到与源小区之间的 RLF,且完成与目标小区之间的DAPS切换的情况下,终端设备确定第一报告。其中,第一报告包括预设条件指示的待记录的报告,或第一报告包括预设条件指示的待上报的报告。预设条件包括以下至少一项:第一项,仅记录SHR;第二项,仅记录RLF报告;第三项,仅上报SHR;第四项,仅上报RLF报告。这样一来,终端设备记录了满足预设条件的第一报告,换言之,针对一次移动性异常,终端设备仅记录RLF报告和SHR中的一种报告,或终端设备仅上报RLF报告和SHR中的一种报告,相应的,网络侧针对一次移动性异常,也就能够获取到一个报告(如上述SHR,或RLF报告),从而避免过度调整的问题。
如图6所示,本申请实施例提供的第二种通信方法600包括如下步骤:
S601、在终端设备执行DAPS切换过程中,检测到与源小区之间的RLF,且完成与目标小区之间的DAPS切换的情况下,终端设备确定第一报告。
其中,第一报告包括预设条件指示的待记录的报告,或第一报告包括预设条件指示的待上报的报告。预设条件包括以下至少一项:
第一项,仅记录SHR。示例性的,仅记录SHR的具体实现过程包括:当发生RLF时,终端设备记录RLF报告。当满足SHR的触发条件的情况下,终端设备记录SHR。在一段时间之后,或终端设备记录SHR报告的同时,终端设备删除RLF报告。
第二项,仅记录RLF报告。示例性的,作为一种可能的实现方式,仅记录RLF报告的具体实现过程包括:当发生RLF时,终端设备记录RLF报告。当满足SHR的触发条件的情况下,终端设备不记录SHR。作为另一种可能的实现方式,仅记录RLF报告的具体实现过程包括:当发生RLF时,终端设备记录RLF报告。当满足SHR的触发条件的情况下,终端设备记录SHR。然后终端设备删除SHR。
第三项,仅上报SHR。此种情况下,终端设备记录SHR。终端设备可以记录RLF报告,也可以不记录RLF报告,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在终端设备记录RLF报告的情况下,终端设备不上报RLF报告,或者,在一段时间之后,终端设备删除RLF报告。
第四项,仅上报RLF报告。此种情况下,终端设备记录RLF报告。终端设备可以记录SHR,也可以不记录SHR,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在终端设备记录SHR的情况下,终端设备不上报SHR,或者,在一段时间之后,终端设备删除SHR。
其中,预设条件可以是预配置的,也可以是从网络侧接收的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。在预设条件是从网络侧接收的情况下,如图6所示,本申请实施例通信方法600还包括S602和S603:
S602、第一网络设备获取预设条件。
其中,S602中的预设条件与S601中的预设条件一致,此处不再赘述。
其中,S602的具体实现过程包括但不限于如下两种方式(下述方式1和方式2):
方式1,如图7中“方式1”所在的虚线框所示,第一网络设备执行S602a:
S602a、第一网络设备确定预设条件。
示例性的,第一网络设备确定是否仅记录SHR,或是否仅记录RLF报告,或是否仅上报SHR,或是否仅上报RLF报告。
方式2,如图7中“方式2”所在的虚线框所示,第二网络设备执行S602b和S602c:
S602b、第二网络设备确定预设条件。
示例性的,第二网络设备自主确定预设条件。此种情况下,S602b的实现过程可以参 见S602a的介绍,区别点在于,S602a的执行主体为第一网络设备,而S602b的执行主体为第二网络设备,此处不再赘述。
S602c、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送预设条件。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的预设条件。
示例性的,从承载的消息上来说,预设条件可以承载于HO请求确认消息中,也可以承载于其他消息,还可以单独传输。从传输的时间上来说,预设条件可以与HO请求确认消息同时传输,也可以在HO请求确认消息之前传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,HO请求确认消息包括RRC重配置消息。预设条件承载于HO请求确认消息,可以有两种实现方式:在第一种实现方式中,预设条件承载于RRC重配置消息中;在第二种实现方式中,预设条件承载于RRC重配置消息外,且承载于HO请求确认消息中。
S603、第一网络设备向终端设备发送预设条件。相应的,终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的预设条件。
其中,S603中的预设条件与S602中的预设条件一致。
示例性的,从承载的消息上来说,预设条件可以承载于RRC重配置消息中,也可以承载于其他消息(如RRC建立消息、RRC重建立消息、RRC恢复消息、或系统消息),还可以单独传输。从传输的时间上来说,预设条件可以与RRC重配置消息同时传输,也可以在RRC重配置消息之前传输,如通过RRC建立消息、RRC重建立消息、RRC恢复消息、或系统消息传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,在S602c中的预设条件与HO请求确认消息同时传输的情况下,S603中的预设条件与RRC重配置消息同时传输。在S602c中的预设条件在HO请求确认消息之前传输的情况下,S603中的预设条件可以与RRC重配置消息同时传输,也可以在RRC重配置消息之前传输,本申请实例对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,本申请实施例第二种通信方法600还包括S604和S605:
S604、终端设备向第一网络设备发送第一报告。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自终端设备的第一报告。
其中,S604中的第一报告与S601中的第一报告一致。
示例性的,S604的实现过程可以参见S304的介绍,此处不再赘述。
S605、第一网络设备根据第一报告,确定网络优化参数。
其中,S605的实现过程可以参见S305的介绍,此处不再赘述。
在本申请实施例通信方法600中,预设条件指示了终端设备待记录的报告,或终端设备待上报的报告。终端设备确定满足预设条件的第一报告。如此,针对一次移动性异常,终端设备仅记录RLF报告和SHR中的一种报告,或终端设备仅上报RLF报告和SHR中的一种报告,相应的,网络侧针对一次移动性异常,也就能够获取到一个报告(如上述SHR,或RLF报告),从而避免过度调整的问题。
在本申请实施例提供的第三种通信方法中,终端设备执行DAPS切换过程中,检测到与源小区之间的RLF,且完成与目标小区之间的DAPS切换的情况下,第一网络设备接收来自终端设备的RLF报告和SHR。其中,RLF报告和SHR包括同一移动性异常的移动性参数。第一网络设备根据SHR确定网络优化参数,或第一网络设备根据RLF报告确定网 络优化参数,或第一网络设备根据SHR和RLF报告确定网络优化参数,以避免第一网络设备基于同一移动性异常的RLF报告和SHR分别确定网络优化参数,从而解决过度调整的问题。
如图8所示,本申请实施例提供的第三种通信方法800包括如下步骤:
S801、在终端设备执行DAPS切换过程中,检测到与源小区之间的RLF,且完成与目标小区之间的DAPS切换的情况下,终端设备确定RLF报告和SHR。
其中,RLF报告和SHR包括RLF过程中的移动性参数,S801的实现过程可以参见相关现有技术,此处不再赘述。
S802、终端设备向第一网络设备发送RLF报告和SHR。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自终端设备的RLF报告和SHR。
其中,S802中的RLF报告与S801中的RLF报告一致,S802中的SHR与S801中的SHR一致。
其中,S802的实现过程可以参见S304的介绍,此处不再赘述。
对于第一网络设备而言,第一网络设备执行S802之后,执行S803a、S803b和S803c中的一项。其中,S803a、S803b和S803c的说明如下:
S803a、第一网络设备根据SHR确定网络优化参数。
隐式的,可以理解为,第一网络设备使用SHR确定网络优化参数,且不使用RLF报告确定网络优化参数。
示例性的,仍以移动性参数包括切换阈值为例,切换阈值的初始值为XdB。第一网络设备基于SHR确定切换阈值降低0.5dB即可满足移动性指标,基于SHR所确定的网络优化参数为-0.5dB。第一网络设备在切换阈值的初始值XdB的基础上,降低了0.5dB,如此,切换阈值调整为(X-0.5)dB。由于第一网络设备未使用RLF报告确定网络优化参数,所以,也就不存在过度调整的问题。
S803b、第一网络设备根据RLF报告确定网络优化参数。
隐式的,可以理解为,第一网络设备使用RLF报告确定网络优化参数,且不使用SHR确定网络优化参数。
示例性的,仍以移动性参数包括切换阈值为例,切换阈值的初始值为XdB。第一网络设备基于RLF报告确定切换阈值降低0.5dB即可满足移动性指标,基于RLF报告所确定的网络优化参数为-0.5dB。第一网络设备在切换阈值的初始值XdB的基础上,降低了0.5dB,如此,切换阈值调整为(X-0.5)dB。由于第一网络设备未使用SHR确定网络优化参数,所以,也就不存在过度调整的问题。
S803c、第一网络设备根据SHR和RLF报告确定网络优化参数。
示例性的,仍以移动性参数包括切换阈值为例,切换阈值的初始值为XdB。第一网络设备基于SHR和RLF报告确定的网络优化参数满足如下公式:
D=k 1×a+k 2×b    公式(3)
其中,D表示网络优化参数,k 1表示SHR对应的加权系数,a表示基于SHR确定的网络优化数值,k 2表示RLF报告对应的加权系数,b表示基于RLF报告确定的网络优化数值。示例性的,k 1=k 2=0.5。当然,加权系数k 1和加权系数k 2均可以有其他取值,本申请实施例对此不作限定。应理解,加权系数k 1和加权系数k 2的取值不同时为1,换言之,不存 在如下情况:k 1=k 2=1。
示例性的,第一网络设备基于SHR确定网络优化数值a,以及基于RLF报告确定网络优化数值b,然后,第一网络设备基于公式(3),确定网络优化参数D。第一网络设备在切换阈值的初始值XdB的基础上,调整了DdB,如此,切换阈值调整为(X+D)dB。由于不存在如下情况:k 1=k 2=1的情况,且第一网络设备对切换阈值进行了一次调整,也就不存在过度调整的问题。
应理解,上述公式(3)仅是示例性的给出了网络优化参数满足的计算公式,当然,第一网络设备还可以根据其他计算方式,基于SHR和RLF报告来确定网络优化参数,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在本申请实施例通信方法800中,第一网络设备获取SHR和RLF报告的情况下,第一网络设备根据SHR确定网络优化参数,或第一网络设备根据RLF报告确定网络优化参数,或第一网络设备根据SHR和RLF报告确定网络优化参数,以避免第一网络设备基于同一移动性异常的RLF报告和SHR分别确定网络优化参数,对同一移动性参数进行了两次调整的现象,从而解决过度调整的问题。
在一些实施例中,第一网络设备执行S803a的情况下,如图9所示,第一网络设备还执行S804a:
S804a、第一网络设备丢弃RLF报告。
其中,S804a中的RLF报告与S802中的RLF报告一致。
示例性的,第一网络设备删除RLF报告,以避免第一网络设备重复采用RLF报告确定网络优化参数。
需要说明的是,第一网络设备可以先执行S803a,再执行S804a(如图9所示),也可以先执行S804a,再执行S803a(图9未示出),还可以同时执行S803a和S804a(图9未示出),本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,第一网络设备执行S803b的情况下,如图10所示,第一网络设备还执行S804b:
S804b、第一网络设备丢弃SHR。
其中,S804b中的SHR与S802中的SHR一致。
示例性的,第一网络设备删除SHR,以避免第一网络设备重复采用SHR确定网络优化参数。
需要说明的是,第一网络设备可以先执行S803b,再执行S804b(如图10所示),也可以先执行S804b,再执行S803b(图10未示出),还可以同时执行S803b和S804b(图10未示出),本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,本申请实施例第二种通信方法600和第三种通信方法800中,SHR也可以替换为第一种通信方法300中的第一报告。也就是说,S601中的第一报告,S801、S802、S803a和S804c中的SHR,可以是在切换过程中用户面传输中断时长大于或等于第一阈值的情况下记录的报告,第一报告包括用户面传输中断时长,具体可以参见第一种通信方法300中的介绍,此处不再赘述。
在DAPS切换场景中,目标网络设备可能支持SHR特性,有可能不支持SHR特性。在目标网络设备不支持SHR特性的情况下,目标网络设备不支持终端设备上报SHR。目 标网络设备向源网络设备提供的RRC重配置消息也就不携带SHR触发条件。由于源网络设备对RRC重配消息不作解析,所以,源网络设备也就无法获知目标网络设备是否支持SHR特性。如何使得源网络设备与目标网络设备协商是否支持SHR特性,是亟待解决的问题。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供第四种通信方法,在本申请实施例提供的第四种通信方法中,第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一信息。其中,第一信息用于指示触发记录SHR的至少一个条件。然后,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的第二信息。其中,第二信息指示第二网络设备是否接受上述至少一个条件中的一个或多个。这样一来,第一网络设备基于第二信息,即可确定第二网络设备是否支持SHR特性。
如图11所示,本申请实施例提供的第四种通信方法1100包括如下步骤:
S1101、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一信息。相应的,第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的第一信息。
其中,第一信息用于指示触发记录SHR的至少一个条件。示例性的,第一信息包括以下至少一项:
第一项,用户面传输中断时长的阈值。其中,用户面传输中断时长的介绍可以参见S301的说明,此处不再赘述。用户面传输中断时长的阈值,可以参见第一种通信方法300中第一阈值的介绍,此处不再赘述。
第二项,第一定时器的阈值。其中,第一定时器的运行时长指示终端设备接收RRC重配置消息之后未接入第二网络设备的时长。示例性的,第一定时器可以是定时器T304。
第三项,第二定时器的阈值。其中,第二定时器的运行时长指示终端设备检测到与第一网络设备之间有物理层问题的时长。示例性的,第二定时器可以是定时器T310。

示例性的,从承载的消息上来说,第一信息可以承载于HO请求消息中,也可以承载于其他消息,还可以单独传输。从传输的时间上来说,第一信息可以与HO请求消息同时传输,也可以在HO请求消息之前传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。其中,HO请求消息可以是DAPS切换请求消息,具体可以参见S203的介绍,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,如图12所示,第一网络设备执行S1101的情况下,本申请实施例第四种通信方法1100还包括S1103和S1104:
S1103、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送信息X。相应的,第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的信息X。
其中,信息X用于请求第二网络设备反馈是否支持SHR功能。S1103的实现过程可以参见S301e的介绍,此处不再赘述。
S1104、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送信息Y。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的信息Y。
其中,信息Y指示第二网络设备是否支持SHR功能。S1104的实现过程可以参见S301f的介绍,此处不再赘述。
通过上述S1103和S1104,或上述S1104,第一网络设备即可获知第二网络设备是否 支持SHR功能。在信息Y指示第二网络设备支持SHR功能的情况下,第一网络设备执行S1101,从而为第二网络设备提供第一信息。反之,在信息Y指示第二网络设备不支持SHR功能的情况下,第一网络设备不执行S1101,从而避免浪费传输资源。
S1102、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第二信息。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的第二信息。
其中,第二信息指示第二网络设备是否接受上述至少一个条件中的一个或多个。
示例性的,以第一信息包括四项条件为例进行介绍,例如,第二网络设备可以不接受第一信息中的全部条件。此种情况下,第二信息指示第二网络设备不接受上述至少一个条件中的全部条件。再如,第二网络设备可以接受第二项,但不接受其他项(如第一项、第三项和第四项),此种情况下,第二信息指示第二网络设备接受上述四项条件中的一个,或者,第二信息指示第二网络设备不接受上述四项条件中的三个。应理解,第一信息具体携带哪一(些)预设条件,可以有多种情况,并且,针对第一信息中的每一条件,第二网络设备是否接受存在两种情况。如此,第二信息的指示内容,可以有多种情况,此处不再一一列举。
在一些实施例中,在第二信息指示第二网络设备不接受上述至少一个条件中的一个或多个的情况下,第二信息还可以指示拒绝原因。应理解,在第二信息指示第二网络设备不接受上述至少一个条件中的全部条件的情况下,RRC重配置消息中不携带触发记录SHR的条件。
在一些实施例中,在第二网络设备接受第一信息携带的至少一个条件中的一个或多个的情况下,第二信息还指示以下至少一项:
第一项,RRC重配置消息中携带上述至少一个条件中的一个或多个。也就是说,第二网络设备显式地告知第一网络设备RRC重配置消息中预设条件的携带状况,如RRC重配置消息中是否携带了预设条件,以及携带的预设条件数量。示例性的,指示信息携带一个比特(bit)的信息,以指示RRC重配置消息中是否携带了预设条件,如该比特的取值为“1”时,表征RRC重配置消息中携带了预设条件,反之,该比特的取值为“0”时,表征RRC重配置消息中未携带预设条件。或者,该比特的取值为“0”时,表征RRC重配置消息中携带了预设条件,反之,该比特的取值为“1”时,表征RRC重配置消息中未携带预设条件。应理解,在本申请实施例中,仅以一个比特的信息为例进行介绍,指示信息还可以通过更多的比特来指示RRC重配置消息中对预设条件的携带状况,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
第二项,触发记录SHR的条件类型。其中,条件类型可以是指用户面传输中断时长、第一定时器、第二定时器和第三定时器。例如,在RRC重配置消息中携带用户面传输中断时长的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的条件类型包括用户面传输中断时长。再如,在RRC重配置消息中携带第一定时器的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的条件类型包括第一定时器。又如,在RRC重配置消息中携带第二定时器的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的条件类型包括第二定时器。又如,在RRC重配置消息中携带第三定时器的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的条件类型包括第三定时器。
第三项,触发记录SHR的阈值。例如,在RRC重配置消息中携带用户面传输中断时长的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的阈值包括用户面传输中断时长的阈值。再如,在RRC 重配置消息中携带第一定时器的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的阈值包括第一定时器的阈值。又如,在RRC重配置消息中携带第二定时器的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的阈值包括第二定时器的阈值。又如,在RRC重配置消息中携带第三定时器的阈值的情况下,第二信息所指示的阈值包括第三定时器的阈值。
示例性的,从消息名称上来说,第二信息,可以有其他名称,如响应消息,配置确认消息等,本申请实施例对此不作限制。在本申请实施例中,仅以第二信息为例进行介绍。从传输的时间上来说,第二信息可以与HO请求确认消息同时传输,也可以在HO请求确认消息之前传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。其中,HO请求消息可以是DAPS切换请求消息,具体可以参见S203的介绍,此处不再赘述。
应理解,在第一信息与HO请求消息同时传输的情况下,第二信息与HO请求确认消息同时传输,在第一信息在HO请求消息之前传输的情况下,第二信息可以与HO请求确认消息同时传输,也可以在HO请求确认消息之前传输,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,在第二网络设备接受第一信息携带的至少一个条件中的一个或多个的情况下,第二网络设备还执行S1105:
S1105、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送RRC重配置消息。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的RRC重配置消息。
其中,RRC重配置信息中携带一个或多个条件。RRC重配置消息中携带的条件属于第一信息中指示的条件,具体参见S1101的介绍,此处不再赘述。
在本申请实施例通信方法1100中,第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一信息。其中,第一信息用于指示触发记录SHR的至少一个条件。然后,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的第二信息。其中,第二信息指示第二网络设备是否接受上述至少一个条件中的一个或多个。这样一来,第一网络设备基于第二信息,即可确定第二网络设备是否支持SHR特性。
上述主要从各个网元之间交互的角度对本申请实施例提供的方案进行了介绍。相应的,本申请实施例还提供了通信装置,该通信装置可以为上述方法实施例中的网元,或者包含上述网元的装置,或者为可用于网元的部件。可以理解的是,该通信装置为了实现上述功能,其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和/或软件模块。本领域技术人员应该很容易意识到,结合本文中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法步骤,本申请能够以硬件或硬件和计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件还是计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。专业技术人员可以对每个特定的应用来使用不同方法来实现所描述的功能,但是这种实现不应认为超出本申请的范围。
