请参考图1,其示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的通信系统的框图,该通信系统可以包括:源终端12、目标终端14、第一中继终端16和第二中继终端18。
源终端12、目标终端14、第一中继终端16和第二中继终端18包括各种具有无线通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备,以及各种形式的用户设备,移动台(Mobile Station,MS),终端(terminal device)等等。
上述各个终端设备之间通过某种空口技术互相通信,例如PC5接口。示意性的,源终端12与目标终端14之间通过PC5接口进行侧行链路的直连通信。示意性的,源终端12与目标终端14之间基于第一中继终端16的中转,进行的侧行链路的间接通信。示意性的,源终端12与目标终端14之间基于第二中继终端18的中转,进行的侧行链路的间接通信。
可选的,终端设备与网络设备(图1中未示出)之间通过某种空口技术互相通信,例如Uu接口。示意性的,源终端12对应第一网络设备,目标终端14对应第二网络设备。网络设备是用于为终端设备提供无线通信功能的设备。网络设备可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站,接入点等等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,网络设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如在5G NR系统中,称为5G基站(5G Node B,gNodeB/gNB)。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile Communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、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)系统、先进的长期演进(Advanced Long Term Evolution,LTE-A)系统、新空口(New Radio,NR)系统、NR系统的演进系统、非授权频段上的LTE(LTE-based access to Unlicensed spectrum,LTE-U)系统、NR-U系统、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统、无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)、无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,WiFi)、下一代通信系统或其他通信系统等。
通常来说,传统的通信系统支持的连接数有限,也易于实现,然而,随着通信技术的发展,移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信,还将支持例如,设备到设备(Device to Device,D2D)通信,机器到机器(Machine to Machine,M2M)通信,机器类型通信(Machine Type Communication,MTC),车辆间(Vehicle to Vehicle,V2V)通信以及车联网(Vehicle to Everything,V2X)系统等。本申请实施例也可以应用于这些通信系统。
在介绍本申请技术方案之前,先对本申请涉及的一些名词进行介绍说明。
1、LTE D2D/V2X
在长期演进技术(Long Term Evolution,LTE)中,终端设备与终端设备之间进行通信是基于设备到设备(Device-to-Device,D2D)通信技术实现的,终端设备与终端设备之间进行通信还能够基于车用无线通信技术(Vehicle to X,V2X)实现。D2D以及V2X均是一种侧行链路传输技术,其与传统的蜂窝系统中通信数据通过基站接收或者发送的方式不同。
在实际的场景中,例如基于V2X的车联网系统中,不同的车载终端设备之间能够直接进行侧行通信,如图2所示,因此传输消息的链路具有更高的频谱效率以及更低的传输时延。
目前,在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)中,终端设备间的通信定义了两种传输模式:分别为模式A和模式B。在模式A中,终端设备的传输资源是由基站分配的,终端设备根据基站分配的资源在侧行链路上进行数据的发送。基站可以为终端设备分配单次传输的资源,也可以为终端设备分配半静态传输的资源。在模式B中,终端设备可以在资源池中选取一个资源进行数据的传输。
在3GPP的Rel(Release)12和13中,主要对基于临近的服务(Proximity based Service,ProSe)场景进行了研究,其主要针对公共安全类的业务。在ProSe中,网络设备通过配置资源池在时域上的位置,例如资源池在时域上非连续,达到终端设备在侧行链路上非连续发送或接收数据,从而达到省电的效果。
在3GPP的Rel-14/15中,V2X针对车与车进行通信的场景进行了研究,其主要面向相对高速移动的车车、车人通信的业务。由于车载系统具有持续的供电,因此功率效率不是主要问题,而数据传输的时延是主要问题,因此在系统设计上要求终端设备设备进行连续的发送和接收。
在3GPP的Rel-14中,主要研究了D2D的进一步增强(Further Enhancements to LTE Device to Device,FeD2D),从而满足可穿戴设备通过手机接入网络的场景,其主要面向是低移动速度以及低功率接入的场景。
2、NR V2X
5G NR中的V2X在LTE中的V2X的基础上,传输消息不再局限于广播场景,而是进一步拓展到了单播和组播的场景。
类似于LTE中的V2X,5G NR中的V2X也存在上述AB两种资源授权的模式。更进一步,终端设备可能处在一个混合的模式下,即既可以使用模式A进行资源的获取,又同时可以使用模式B进行资源的获取。该资源获取通过侧行链路授权的方式指示,即侧行链路授权指示相应的物理侧链控制信道(Physical Sidelink Control Channel,PSCCH)与PSSCH资源的时频位置。不同于LTE中的V2X,除了无反馈的、终端设备自主发起的混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest,HARQ)重传,5GNR中的V2X引入了基于反馈的HARQ重传,不限于单播通信,也包括组播通信。
3、侧行终端到终端(UE-2-UE)中继技术
在Rel-17 ProSe中,3GPP研究了基于层2、3中继的UE-to-UE中继功能,如图3所示,源终端301通过中继终端302连接目标终端303,中继终端302在源终端301和目标终端303间传递数据。
具体的连接建立步骤如下图4所示:源终端,中继终端,目标终端之间通过发现(discovery)消息或直接连接请求(Direct Connection Request,DCR)消息互相发现,中继终端可帮助源终端转发发现消息或DCR消息,源终端和目标终端发现对方后即可进行中继选择(relay selection),选择合适的中继终端分别与其建立连接,再由中继终端作为中继建立端到端的PC5连接。
3GPP Rel-17引入了层二终端到终端中继,结合参考图5,适配层(ADAPT)被放置在中继终端和源终端/目标终端之间的控制面和用户面RLC层之上。PC5服务数据应用规范(Service Data Application Profile,SDAP)层/PDCP层和网络互联协议(Internet Protocol,IP)层终止在源终端和目标终端之间,而RLC层、媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)层和物理(PHY)层终止在每个链路中(即源终端和中继终端之间的链路以及中继终端和目标之间的链路)。在源终端和中继终端之间的PC5接口处是否也支持适配层目前没有结论。
对于层二终端到终端中继:
-中继终端的适配层支持接入PC5RLC信道之间的侧行承载映射。对于侧行链路中继业务,同一远端终端和/或不同远端终端的不同端到端承载(如SRB,DRB)可以在一个PC5RLC信道上进行N:1映射和数据复用。
-适配层用于支持侧行业务的终端标识(复用来自多个终端的数据)。终端PC5无线承载和终端的标识信息包括在适配层中,以便目标终端将与源终端的无线承载相关联的特定PDCP实体的接收数据分组关联起来。
4、多无线接入技术-双连接(Multi RAT Dual Connectivity,MR-DC)
结合参考图6,当一个无线承载的RLC、MAC和PHY协议栈位于主节点(Master Node,MN)的时候,这样的无线承载称为主小区组(Master Cell Group,MCG)承载,反之称为辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group,SCG)承载,若都存在则称为分离承载(split bearer)。
相关技术中,对于侧行终端到终端中继技术的研究都是在单径场景下,即源终端->中继终端->目标终端。随着通信技术的演进,很大可能会引入多径中继来进一步增强侧行通信的通信质量,如:提高可靠性,降低时延,即拓展到多径场景:源终端->中继终端1/中继终端2…->目标终端,在多条侧行路径上进行数据的传输。在考虑多个中继终端后,会对侧行链路的多径建立流程,多径场景的传输中无线承载(Radio Bear,RB)/PDCP/RLC的行为造成影响。
在本申请实施例中,在两个终端设备已经建立有第一链路的情况下,在第一终端的触发下,两个终端设备之间建立包括新的第二链路在内的多径链路,从而将两个终端设备之间的通信拓展到多径场景,从而增强侧行通信的通信质量。
下面,通过几个实施例对本申请技术方案进行介绍说明。
请参考图7,其示出了本申请一个实施例提供的路径建立方法的流程图。该方法可应用于图1所示的通信系统中。该方法可以包括如下步骤:
步骤702:在源终端与目标终端之间存在第一链路的情况下,第一终端触发建立多径链路。
其中,第一链路是源终端与目标终端之间已经建立好的一条侧行链路。源终端指的是侧行通信的发送方终端设备,目标终端指的是侧行通信的接收方终端设备。可选的,第一链路是源终端与目标终端之间的直接侧行通路;或,第一链路是源终端与目标终端之间的基于第一中继终端进行中转的侧行链路。在本申请实施例中,仅以源终端与目标终端之间已建立好一条第一链路进行示例性的说明,基于本申请实施例提供技术方案,也可以拓展到源终端与目标终端之间已建立好包括第一链路在内的多条侧行链路的场景。
其中,第二链路是源终端与目标终端之间除第一链路之外的侧行链路。也即,第二链路是不同于第一链路的一条新的侧行链路。可选的,第二链路是源终端与目标终端之间的直接侧行通路;或,第二链路是源终端与目标终端之间的基于第二中继终端进行中转的侧行链路。
其中,多径链路是支持第一链路和第二链路协同工作的链路。建立多径链路指的是为已经存在侧行链路的两个终端设备之间,再建立新的侧行链路,从而使得两个终端设备之间支持使用多条侧行链路协同工作的过程。示例性的,多径链路建立完成后,源终端和目标终端之间在第一链路和第二链路上进行数据的传输。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端是源终端、目标终端和中继终端中的一个。
可选的,第一终端触发建立多径链路包括:第一终端发送多径连接建立指示,多径连接建立指示用于指示建立多径链路。
示例性的,多径连接建立指示通过PC5-RRC传输;或,多径连接建立指示通过PC5-S传输;或,多径连接建立指示通过MAC控制信元(Control Element,CE)传输;或,多径连接建立指示通过物理层信令传输。
示例性的,多径连接建立指示通过单播的方式发送;或,多径连接指示通过多播的方式发送;或,多径连接指示通过广播的方式发送。
步骤704:响应于第一终端的触发,第二终端确定建立多径链路。
在本实施例中,第二终端是源终端和目标终端中的一个。
可选的,响应于第一终端的触发,第二终端确定建立多径链路包括:第二终端接收第一终端发送的多径连接建立指示,多径连接建立指示用于指示建立多径链路;第二终端基于多径连接建立指示,确定建立多径链路。
可选的,在第一终端触发建立多径链路的情况下,若第二终端确定建立多径链路,则目标终端与源终端进行进一步的交互,如:进行PC5-S层的信令交互,进行安全相关信令的交互,以建立起源终端与目标终端之间的多径链路。
综上所述,本实施例提供的方法,在两个终端设备已经建立有第一链路的情况下,在第一终端的触发下,两个终端设备之间建立包括新的第二链路在内的多径链路,从而将两个终端设备之间的通信拓展到多径场景,从而增强侧行通信的通信质量。
在示例性实施例中,多径链路的建立可以通过如下方式中的至少一种触发:
(1)由源终端控制触发建立多径链路。
也即,第一终端实现为源终端。
(2)由第一中继终端控制触发建立多径链路。
也即,第一终端实现为第一中继终端。其中,第一链路是源终端与目标终端之间的基于第一中继终端进行中转的侧行链路。
(3)由目标终端控制触发建立多径链路。
也即,第一终端实现为目标终端。
下面,对如上三种情况下,建立多径链路的实现方式分别进行示例性的说明。
(1)由源终端控制触发建立多径链路。
请参考图8,其示出了本申请一个实施例提供的路径建立方法的流程图。该方法可应用于图1所示的通信系统中。该方法可以包括如下步骤:
步骤802:源终端向目标终端发送多径连接建立指示。
其中,多径连接建立指示用于指示建立多径链路。
可选的,源终端向目标终端发送多径连接建立指示包括:源终端向网络设备发送第一消息,第一消息用于向网络设备报告源终端请求触发建立多径链路;响应于接收到第一消息的应答消息,源终端向目标终端发送多径连接建立指示。
也即,在触发建立多径链路之前,源终端需要与源终端对应的网络设备进行交互,向网络设备报告源终端请求触发建立多径链路,在接收第一网络设备的肯定应答的情况下,源终端则继续触发建立多径链路。
示例性的,第一消息携带在源终端向网络设备发送的侧行终端信息(Sidelink UE Information,SUI)中。示例性的,第一消息中包括:对端的目标终端的相关信息、QoS需求和多径连接建立请求。
