其中,上述图1仅以实施环境中包含3个用户设备和3个基站为例进行介绍说明,本申请实施例对于实施环境中的用户设备和基站的数量不做限定。
例如,用户设备110可以是车载通信设备,比如,可以是具有无线通信功能的行车电脑,或者是外接行车电脑的无线通信设备。
或者,用户设备110也可以是路边设备,比如,可以是具有无线通信功能的路灯、信号灯或者其它路边设备。
或者,用户设备110也可以是用户终端设备,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置。例如,站(Station,STA)、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)、移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station)、接入点、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户装置(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户设备(user device)、或用户终端(User Equipment,UE)。具体比如,用户设备110可以是智能手机、平板电脑、电子书阅读器等移动终端,或者,可以是智能眼镜、智能手表或者智能手环等智能可穿戴设备。

其中,基站120可以是5G系统中采用集中分布式架构的基站(gNB)。当基站120采用集中分布式架构时,通常包括集中单元(Central Unit,CU)和至少两个分布单元(Distributed  Unit,DU)。集中单元中设置有分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路层控制协议(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层的协议栈;分布单元中设置有物理(Physical,PHY)层协议栈,本公开实施例对基站120的具体实现方式不加以限定。
基站120和用户设备110之间可以通过无线空口建立无线连接。该无线空口是基于第五代移动通信网络技术(5G)标准的无线空口,比如该无线空口是新空口;或者,该无线空口也可以是基于5G的更下一代移动通信网络技术标准的无线空口。
可选的,上述无线通信系统还可以包含网络管理设备130。
若干个基站120分别与网络管理设备130相连。其中,网络管理设备130可以是无线通信系统中的核心网设备,比如,该网络管理设备130可以包括接入与移动管理(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)单元、会话管理功能(Session Management Function,SMF)单元、用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)单元、策略控制功能(Policy Control Function,PCF)单元、统一数据管理(Unified Data Management,UDM)单元等。对于网络管理设备130的实现形态,本公开实施例不做限定。
随着5G应用的不断发展,网络控制互动服务(Network Controlled Interactive Services,NCIS)业务作为一个新的业务形态被引入到标准中进行相关的标准化业务。
NCIS业务主要针对增强现实(Augmented Reality,AR)/虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)、游戏等应用,对速率、时延、丢包率、高速编解码等业务质量有很高的要求。例如:对于VR游戏,需要达到10Gbps的速率,丢包率不可超过1/10 -4(即每10000个数据包最多只允许丢包一个)。针对NCIS业务建立的会话为NCIS会话,在相同NCIS会话的UE可以认为组成一个NCIS组,例如:游戏中组队。
在3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project,第三代合作伙伴计划)R17中,使用5G近距离服务(Proximity Services,ProSe)课题来进行对近距离业务通信的方案设计。ProSe包含NCIS。ProSe中一个重要场景是终端到网络(UE-to-Network,U2N)中继(relay)的场景。U2N relay是通过一个中继终端(relay UE)为非中继终端(也可以称为远端终端(remote UE))中继传输数据,从而使remote UE可以与网络实现通信。
图2是本申请一示例性实施例示出的一种U2N relay的系统架构图。如图2所示,中继侧行链路场景下的非中继终端21(remote UE)与中继终端22(relay UE)之间建立基于PC5接口的连接(即PC5连接)。中继终端22与5G网络中的5G无线接入网(NG Radio Access Network,NG-RAN)之间建立有基于Uu接口的连接。5G网络中的5G核心网通过基于N6接口的连接与数据网络(Data Network,DN)相连。
如图2所示,Remote UE和relay UE之间建立PC5链路,relay UE为Remote UE提供Layer3(层3)U2N relay服务(即Remote UE的IP地址由relay UE进行配置),relay UE使用分组数据单元(Packet Data Unit,PDU)会话(session)为remote UE中继来自remote UE的数据或者发送给remote UE的数据。
每个PDU session对应有一个会话类型,例如:IPv4(Internet Protocol version 4,网际协议版本4)、IPv6(Internet Protocol version 6,网际协议版本6)、IPv4v6、Ethernet、Unstructured等等。对应一个会话类型的数据可以使用该会话类型对应的PDU session来传输。
为了实现中继通信,在进行中继通信之前,Relay和remote UE需要获得必须的配置参数。这些配置参数可以来自策略控制功能(Policy Control Function,PCF)单元或者应用服务器,或者,这些配置参数也可以预配置在终端上或者用户识别模块(Subscriber Identity Module,SIM)卡中。
在图2所示的系统架构中,Remote UE在传输数据之前,需要先发现合适的relay UE,并与其建立PC5连接。
Relay discovery可以有如下方式:Model A发现流程或者model B发现流程。
图3是本申请一示例性实施例示出的一种relay UE发现流程示意图。如图3所示,Model A发现流程是relay UE主动广播自己可以提供中继服务的中继服务码(Relay Service Code,RSC),Remote UE接收到RSC之后,若该RSC是自己需要的RSC,则确定发现合适的relay UE。例如,在图3中,relay UE(即UE1)主动向各个remote UE(即UE2至UE5)发送公告消息31,公告消息31中包含UE1的RSC,UE2至UE5中某个UE接收到该公告消息31后,确定公告消息31中的RSC是自己需要的RSC时,将UE1作为合适的relay UE。
图4是本申请一示例性实施例示出的另一种relay UE发现流程示意图。如图4所示,model B发现流程是remote UE先发出自己需要的RSC,如果周围有可以支持该RSC的relay UE,则该relay UE回复remote UE,此时,remote UE确定发现合适的relay UE。
例如,在图4中,remote UE(即UE1)向周围各个UE(即UE2至UE5)发送请求消息41,该请求消息41中包含UE1需要的RSC,UE2和UE3接收到请求消息41后发现自己支持该RSC,则向UE1回复响应消息42a和响应消息42b,则UE1将UE2和UE3作为合适的relay UE。
在图3或图4所示的发现流程之后,relay UE和remote UE之间即可以建立PC5连接。
Release17中,对于U2N中继切换的场景考虑了intra-gNB的场景,即切换前后gNB不变。然而intra-gNB也限制了U2N中继切换场景,比如,当Remote UE移出当前gNB的覆盖范围时,无法直接进行U2N中继切换。
对于上述问题,本申请后续实施例提供了一种在不同的基站之间实现U2N中继切换的方法,使得Remote UE可以直接切换为通过另一个gNB对应的中继终端(relay UE)接入网络。
图5是根据一示例性实施例示出的一种网络接入切换方法的流程图,该网络接入切换方法可以由第一基站执行,该第一基站是第一终端接入的基站,比如,该第一基站可以是图1所示的实施环境中的基站120。如图5所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤。

在另一种可能的实现方式中,上述第一终端当前接入的基站,也可以是指第一终端间接接入的基站,比如,第一终端与第三终端之间建立有PC5连接,第三终端与第一基站之间建立有基于Uu接口的连接;第一终端以第三终端为中继接入网络(即U2N中继场景)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,核心网设备为AMF单元,核心网设备向第一基站发送第一终端的授权PLMN列表,包括:

或者,授权PLMN列表通过初始上下文建立请求中的移动限制列表携带;
或者,授权PLMN列表通过初始上下文建立请求中独立的信息单元携带。

源gNB决定发起switch the U2N Remote UE to a target U2N Relay UE。gNB根据authorized PLMN ID list来选择合适的relay,当U2N Relay UE的serving cell ID对应的PLMN ID在authorized PLMN ID list中时,这个relay可以被选择。
S1203,源gNB与目标gNB之间进行切换请求和应答(Handover Request and ACK)。
源gNB向目标gNB发起Handover Request消息,这个消息可以直接发送至目标gNB,也可以通过核心网转发至目标gNB。
S1204,中继UE与目标gNB之间执行远端UE的RRC重构(RRC Reconfiguration for remote UE)。
其中,目标gNB可以向目标U2N Relay UE发送RRC Reconfiguration message。
S1205,源gNB向远端UE发送RRC重构消息(RRC Reconfiguration message)。
其中,源gNB向U2N Remote UE发送RRC Reconfiguration消息。
S1206,如果远端UE和中继UE之间不存在PC5连接,则远端UE和中继UE之间进行PC5连接建立(PC5connection establishment)。
U2N Remote UE与目标U2N Relay UE建立PC5连接。
S1207,远端UE通过中继UE向目标gNB发送RRC重构完成消息(RRC Reconfiguration Complete message)。
U2N Remote UE完成路径切换,通过relay UE向gNB发送RRC Reconfiguration Complete消息;这样remote UE与gNB之间的data path就从直连方式切换为非直连方式。
S1208,远端UE与目标gNB之间,通过中继UE进行上下行数据传输(UL/DL data)。
对于从非直连方式到非直连方式的路径切换(path switch),gNB使用authorized PLMN ID list选择relay UE的方式与上述图12所示的方案类似,此处不再赘述。
