参照图2,图2是本申请实施例中一种5G网络架构图。5G网络可以包括下述多个网络功能(network functions,NF)实体:鉴权服务器功能(authentication server function,AUSF)实体、接入和移动管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)实体、数据网络(data network,DN)、统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)实体、策略控制功能(policy control function,PCF)实体、(无线)接入网((radio)access network,(R)AN)实体、用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)实体、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、应用功能(application function,AF)实体、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)实体,位置管理功能(Location Management Function,LMF)实体等。
可以理解的是,图2仅为示例性架构图,除图2所示功能实体之外,该5G网络架构还可以包括其他功能实体,例如,在AF实体和PCF实体之间还可能包括网络开放功能(network exposure function,NEF)实体。其中,实体也可以称为网元或设备等。
图2中的UDM实体、AUSF实体、PCF实体、AMF实体、SMF实体、LMF实体也可以统称为控制面功能(control plane function,CPF)实体,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
具体的,(R)AN是由多个接入网设备组成的网络,实现无线物理 层功能、资源调度和无线资源管理、无线接入控制以及移动性管理功能。接入网设备通过用户面接口N3和UPF相连,用于传送终端(即上文中的UE,也可以称为移动台(mobile station),用户单元(subscriber unit),站台(station),终端设备(terminal equipment,TE)等)的数据。接入网设备通过控制面接口N2和AMF建立控制面信令连接,用于实现无线接入承载控制等功能。AMF主要负责终端的认证,终端移动性管理,网络切片(network slice)选择,SMF选择等功能。AMF作为N1和N2信令连接的锚点并为SMF提供N1/N2接口会话管理(session management,SM)消息的路由;维护和管理终端的状态信息。SMF主要负责终端会话管理的所有控制面功能,包括UPF选择,网络互连协议(internet protocol,IP)地址分配,会话的服务质量(quality of service,QoS)管理,从PCF获取策略与计费控制(policy and charging control,PCC)策略等。UPF作为分组数据单元(packet data unit,PDU)会话连接的锚定点,负责对终端的数据报文过滤、数据传输/转发、速率控制、生成计费信息等。LMF管理注册到5G核心网(Core Network,CN)或访问5G CN的终端的位置所需的资源的总体协调和调度,还可以计算或验证最终位置或速度估计值,并可以估计达到的精度。

需要说明的是,图2中的(R)AN实体、AMF实体、SMF实体、AUSF实体、UDM实体、UPF实体、PCF实体和LMF实体等仅是一个名字,名字对实体本身不构成限定。在5G网络以及未来其它的网 络中,这些实体所对应的网元或设备也可以是其他的名字,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。例如,该UDM实体还有可能被替换为用户归属服务器(home subscriber server,HSS)或者用户签约数据库(user subscription database,USD)或者数据库实体,等等,在此进行统一说明,以下不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供的方法还可以应用在5G网络的网络切片中,网络切片技术是将一个物理网络切割成多个虚拟的端到端的网络,每个虚拟网络之间,包括网络内的设备、接入技术、传输路径和核心网,是逻辑独立的。每个网络切片由一个独立的网络功能或功能组合实例化构成,具备不同的功能特点,面向不同的需求和服务。网络切片的分离使得不同用户、用户组可以根据其不同应用场景和需求灵活、动态的定义和定制网络能力,而相互间不影响。
一个网络切片包括CPF实体和UPF实体。其中,CPF实体主要完成终端的接入鉴权、安全加密、位置注册等接入控制和移动性管理功能,以及用户面传输路径的建立、释放和更改等会话管理功能,UPF实体主要完成用户面数据的路由转发等功能。
本申请实施例中的接入网设备可以是接入网侧用于支持终端接入通信系统的设备,例如,可以是第二代(second generation,2G)接入技术通信系统中的基站收发信台(base transceiver station,BTS)和基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、3G接入技术通信系统中的节点B(node B)和无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、4G接入技术通信系统中的演进型基站(evolved nodeB,eNB)、5G接入技术通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation nodeB,gNB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、中继节点(relay node)、接入点(access point,AP)等等。
本申请实施例中的终端可以是一种向用户提供语音或者数据连通性的设备。例如,终端可以为蜂窝电话(cellular phone),个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA),无线调制解调器(modem),手持 设备(handheld),膝上型电脑(laptop computer),无绳电话(cordless phone),无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台,平板电脑(pad)等。随着无线通信技术的发展,可以接入通信系统、可以与通信系统的网络侧进行通信,或者通过通信系统与其它物体进行通信的设备都可以是本申请实施例中的终端,譬如,智能交通中的终端和汽车、智能家居中的家用设备、智能电网中的电力抄表仪器、电压监测仪器、环境监测仪器、智能安全网络中的视频监控仪器、收款机等等。
在现有技术中,第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)只对基于移动基站进行了研究,尚未标准化。目前NR和LTE时支持RAN共享的,但在移动基站中如何RAN共享还尚未被讨论和解决。
在基于NR和LTE的RAN共享技术中,RAN共享对协议的改动如下:
1)广播系统信息:需要在系统信息中广播支持的共享的公共陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)的列表,以及每个PLMN的具体参数,如,小区标识,跟踪区域,封闭接入组标识(Closed Access Group,CAG)等信息。
2)单(per)PLMN做接入控制
3)单PLMN做数据量测量
4)多PLMN支持最小化路测(Minimization Drive Test,MDT)。
然而,在移动基站区域性支持RAN共享的情况下(即在一个区域的主基站(Donor gNB)中支持RAN共享,在另一个区域中的主基站不支持RAN共享),当移动基站在不同区域的主基站间切换时,终端业务的连续性较差甚至导致终端无法正常接入网络。
具体而言,公众陆地移动通信网络(Public Lands Mobile Network,PLMN)可视为移动通信网络的代名词,具体到各个国家,每个移动通信运营商的网络为一个PLMN,以我国为例,中国移动、中国联通 和中国电信的网络为不同的PLMN,PLMN标识分为两部分,一部分称为国家代码(Mobile country code,MCC),另外一部分称为移动网络代码(Mobile Network Code,MNC),例如中国移动的PLMN为46000,中国联通的PLMN为46001。
如果移动基站从支持中国移动的主基站切换至支持中国电信的主基站,可能导致接入到移动基站的中国移动的终端可能会发生通信链路失败,无法正常和网络进行通信。
为了解决该问题,在本申请实施例中,源主基站在执行切换判决,选择目标主基站时,考虑目标候选主基站支持的RAN共享的PLMN信息,使得源主基站能为移动基站选择满足切换条件的且支持RAN共享的PLMN最多的目标主基站,尽可能降低移动基站切换对接入移动基站的终端的数据传输的影响,提高终端的业务连续性。
参照图3,图3是本申请实施例中一种RAN共享方法的交互流程图。所述方法可以包括S301-S304,可选地,所述方法还可以包括S305、S306(S表示步骤(step)):
S301:源主基站执行切换判决,选择目标主基站;
S302:源主基站向目标主基站发送切换请求;
S303:目标主基站执行接纳控制;
S304:目标主基站向源主基站发送切换请求确认消息;
S305:源主基站向移动基站发送RRC重配置消息;
S306:移动基站执行切换判决,选择目标基站,目标基站至少支持终端工作的PLMN。
S301在具体实现时,可以至少根据多个目标候选主基站支持的RAN共享的PLMN信息,执行所述切换判决,在多个所述目标候选主基站中选择所述目标主基站。
进一步地,至少根据多个目标候选主基站支持的RAN共享的 PLMN信息,执行所述切换判决,在多个所述目标候选主基站中选择所述目标主基站的步骤可以包括:选择支持RAN共享的PLMN数量最多的目标候选主基站作为目标主基站。
具体地,例如,目标候选主基站1支持中国移动、中国电信、中国联通的PLMN网络,目标候选主基站2只支持中国移动和中国电信的PLMN网络,那么将目标候选主基站1选为目标主基站。
更进一步地,至少根据多个目标候选主基站支持的RAN共享的PLMN信息,执行所述切换判决,在多个所述目标候选主基站中选择所述目标主基站的步骤可以包括:在支持RAN共享的PLMN数量超出预设数量的目标候选主基站中进行选择。
其中,所述预设数量可以基于支持RAN共享的PLMN数量的上限值确定,例如预设数量可以等于支持RAN共享的PLMN数量的上限值乘以预设比例。其中,所述预设比例可以选自50%至100%。
具体地,以中国移动、中国联通和中国电信为例,支持RAN共享的PLMN数量的上限值为3个,可以设置预设数量为2个或3个,也即在支持2个或3个支持RAN共享的PLMN的目标候选主基站中,选择目标主基站。
更进一步地,至少根据多个目标候选主基站支持的RAN共享的PLMN信息,执行所述切换判决,在多个所述目标候选主基站中选择所述目标主基站的步骤可以包括:在支持RAN共享的PLMN数量超出预设数量的目标候选主基站中,根据源主基站的切换算法进行选择。
具体地,源主基站可以根据移动基站上报的测量结果决定执行切换,还可以根据当前网络负载过高决定执行切换,还可以采用自身的切换算法进行切换判决。
具体地,选择支持RAN共享的PLMN数量超出预设数量的目标候选主基站,可以实现选择得到的目标候选主基站支持RAN共享的 PLMN数量尽可能多。
更进一步地,在S301之前,还可以包括移动基站测量并上报测量结果的步骤。
具体地,源主基站可以向移动基站发送测量请求,移动基站(或移动基站以及终端)完成测量后,向源主基站上报测量结果。
进一步地,所述测量请求可以为无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,RRM)测量请求,所述测量可以为RRM测量,所述测量结果可以为RRM测量结果。
其中,所述RRM测量请求可以为测量配置信息,指示移动基站进行RRM测量。
RRM测量主要是为支持终端的移动性,及时获得终端当前周围小区的信道状况。测量配置可以包括:测量对象,上报配置,测量标识,测量量配置,测量开启门限,测量间隔,测量间隔分配等;其中,测量对象定义了测量目标,其中包括测量对象标识(ID),以及对应测量目标的具体配置,这里包括无线接入技术内部(intra-RAT)NR测量和无线接入技术相互(Inter-RAT)进化的通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)陆地无线接入(Evolved-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access,E-UTRA)测量。上报配置定义了测量上报准则,其中包括测量上报标识和对应的测量上报准则的具体配置。
S302在具体实现时,所述切换请求可以包含指示位消息,所述指示位消息用于指示所述移动基站支持所述RAN共享。
其中,所述指示位消息可以采用单个比特(bit)或者多个比特,例如采用单个比特时,可以采用1指示所述移动基站支持所述RAN共享,采用0指示移动基站不支持所述RAN共享。采用多个比特时,可以采用全1指示所述移动基站支持所述RAN共享,采用全0指示移动基站不支持所述RAN共享。
在本发明实施例中,切换请求包含指示位消息,所述指示位消息用于指示所述移动基站支持所述RAN共享,从而可以向目标主基站指示当前的切换请求为RAN共享的切换请求,以使目标主基站在发送的RRC重配置消息中配置合适的切换定时器的长度。
S303在具体实现时,可以采用常规的接纳控制方法,本申请对此不作限制。
S304在具体实现时,目标主基站向源主基站发送的切换请求确认(HANDOVER REQUEST ACK)消息中,可以包括RRC重配置消息;或者切换请求确认消息可以封装(encapsulation)RRC重配置消息。
其中,封装RRC重配置消息可以理解为向移动终端发送的切换命令(包含RRC重配置消息)是以RRC容器(container)的方式包含在确认(ACK)消息中。
进一步地,RRC重配置消息中包含切换定时器,所述切换定时器在移动基站接到无线资源控制RRC重配置消息时启动,且在所述移动基站完成随机接入过程后停止;其中,所述切换定时器的时长大于不支持移动基站共享功能时采用的切换定时器时长。
在具体应用中,所述切换定时器可以为T304。目标主基站可以为移动基站切换配更长的T304定时器时长,从而为移动基站预留更长的切换时间。
在本发明实施例中,RRC重配置消息中包含切换定时器,切换定时器的时长大于不支持移动基站共享功能时采用的切换定时器的时长,从而可以为移动基站预留更多时间,以实现终端切换至目标基站。
S305在具体实现时,源主基站向移动基站发送的RRC重配置消息中可以包含切换定时器。
进一步地,RRC重配置消息中还可以携带有接入目标主基站的 必要信息,例如至少包括目标小区标识,新的小区无线网络标识(cell-Radio Network Temporary Identity,C-RNTI),目标主基站的安全算法标识,还可以携带接入目标小区的专用随机接入信道(Random Access Channel,RACH)资源集合、RACH资源与同步广播块(Synchronization Signal/PBCH,SSB)之间的关联、RACH资源和终端专用的CSI-RS配置之间的关联、公共RACH资源、目标小区的系统信息等。
S306在具体实现时,移动基站收到RRC重配置消息,可以为工作在所述目标主基站不支持的PLMN的终端选择目标基站,所述目标基站至少支持所述终端工作的PLMN。
作为一个非限制性的例子,在存在目标主基站不支持的PLMN的情况下,例如目标主基站不支持中国移动,对于工作在中国移动的终端,移动基站可以为该终端选择支持中国移动的目标基站。
进一步地,由于可能存在多个支持所述PLMN的目标基站,因此还可以根据终端的测量结果,在多个支持所述PLMN的目标基站中选择。
具体地,为工作在所述目标主基站不支持的PLMN的终端选择目标基站的步骤可以包括:向工作在所述目标主基站不支持的PLMN的所述终端发送测量请求;从所述终端接收测量结果;根据所述测量结果,在一个或多个支持所述PLMN的目标候选基站中选择一个作为所述目标基站。
其中,切换判决是针对所述一个或多个支持所述PLMN的目标候选基站进行的,执行完切换判决之后,在一个或多个目标候选基站中选定一个目标基站。
其中,所述测量请求可以为RRM测量请求,所述测量结果可以为RRM测量结果。
在具体实施中,终端上报测量结果,发送的测量报告可以包括测 量标识对应的测量上报配置中的导频类型,如同步信号和广播物理信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH block,SSB)和信道状态信息参考信号(channel-state information reference signal,CSI-RS)对应的测量结果。
其中,所述RRM测量请求可以为测量配置信息,指示终端进行RRM测量。
进一步地,源主基站可以与一个或多个目标候选主基站交互支持的RAN共享的PLMN信息。
在本发明实施例中,源主基站与一个或多个目标候选主基站交互支持的RAN共享的PLMN信息,从而可以了解其他目标候选主基站支持的PLMN的情况,在源主基站执行切换判决时,能够选择支持RAN共享的PLMN数量尽可能多的目标候选主基站,例如选择支持RAN共享的所有PLMN的目标候选主基站,从而降低切换移动基站之后终端受到影响的可能性。
