切换(handover,HO)
在无线通信系统中(如LTE系统或NR系统等),当正在使用网络服务的终端设备从一个小区移动到另一个小区,或由于无线传输业务负荷量调整、激活操作维护、设备故障等原因,为了保持终端设备的通信的连续性和服务的质量,系统需要将该终端设备与原小区的通信链路转移到新的小区上,即进行切换。
切换的类型可以有多种,例如,基于不同网络设备之间的接口,切换可以包括X2接口切换、Xn接口切换等。为了提高终端设备切换过程中的鲁棒性,切换还可以包括条件切换。
源小区和目标小区
在本申请实施例中,源小区可以表示切换前为终端设备提供服务的小区。目标小区可以表示切换后为终端设备提供服务的小区。
应理解,小区可以是指网络设备的覆盖区域,即小区与网络设备是对应的。换句话说,在本申请实施例中,源小区对应源网络设备(例如源基站),目标小区对应目标网络设备(例如目标基站)。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,“源小区”可以替换为“源小区所属的网络设备”,“目标小区”可以替换为“目标小区所属的网络设备”。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,源小区与目标小区可能属于同一个网络设备(如基站),或者,源小区和目标小区也可能属于不同的网络设备。换句话说,在一些实施例中,源网络设备和目标网络设备可以是指同一个网络设备。本申请实施例对此并不限定。
在本申请实施例中,源小区和目标小区可以通过不同的信息进行区分。作为示例而非限定,源小区和目标小区可以通过以下信息中的至少一项来区分:
(1)不同的小区标识。示例性地,小区标识可以是指小区全球标识(cell global identifier,CGI),或者也可以是指物理小区标识(physical cell identifier,PCI);(2)不同的传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP);(3)不同的参考信号集合;(4)不同的资源,比如不同的控制资源集(coreset)或者不同的控制资源集池(coreset pool);(5)不同的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat reQuest,HARQ)进程;(6)不同的协议栈,例如业务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层的协议栈、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的协议栈、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)的协议栈、媒体访问控制(medium access control,MAC)的协议栈、以及物理层(physical layer,PHY)的协议栈;(7)不同的传输配置指示(transmission configuration indication,TCI)状态。
下文提及的源小区、目标小区、源网络设备、目标网络设备,均可以参考上文的描述,下文不再赘述。
传统的切换流程中,整个切换过程可以分为三个阶段:切换准备、切换执行和切换完成。下面结合图2,以Xn接口切换过程为例,对传统的切换过程进行简单介绍。
第一阶段:切换准备(步骤1-步骤5)
在步骤1,源网络设备与终端设备之间进行测量控制及上报。具体地,源网络设备触发终端设备进行邻区测量,从而终端设备可以对邻区进行测量,并将测量结果上报给源网络设备。
在步骤2,源网络设备对终端设备上报的测量结果进行评估,决定是否触发切换。
在步骤3,若源网络设备决定触发切换,则可以向目标网络设备发送切换请求。
在步骤4,目标网络设备接收到源网络设备发送的切换请求后,可以根据源网络设备携带的业务信息开始准入,并进行无线资源配置。
在步骤5,目标网络设备向源网络设备发送切换请求确认消息。在切换请求确认消息中包含目标网络设备生成的切换命令,源网络设备不允许对目标网络设备生成的切换命令进行任何修改,直接将切换命令转发给终端设备。至此,切换准备阶段完成。
第二阶段:切换执行(步骤6-步骤8)
在步骤6,源网络设备接收到目标网络设备的切换请求确认消息后,可以触发终端设备进行切换。
在步骤7,源网络设备可以将缓冲数据、在传数据包、数据的关联序列号(sequence number,SN)等转发给目标网络设备。
此外,终端设备可以断开与源网络设备的连接,并与目标小区进行连接(如执行随机接入,发送无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)切换完成消息给目标网络设备等)。
在步骤8,终端设备同步到目标网络设备。至此,切换执行阶段完成。
第三阶段:切换完成(步骤9-步骤12)
在步骤9,目标网络设备向AMF发送路径切换(path switch)请求。
在步骤10,AMF接收到目标网络设备的路径切换请求后,与UPF执行路径切换,清除源网络设备用户面的路径标记。
在步骤11,在路径切换完成后,AMF可以向目标网络设备发送路径切换确认消息。
在步骤12,目标网络设备向源网络设备发送终端设备上下文释放消息,通知源网络设备切换成功,并触发源网络设备释放终端设备上下文。至此,切换完成。
在一些实施例中,对于某些特殊场景,比如终端设备高速移动或者高频条件下,需要频繁的进行切换。基于此,第三代合作伙伴计划(third generation partnership project,3GPP)在第16版本(release 16,R16)中引入了基于条件触发的切换过程(也可以称为条件切换(conditional handover,CHO)),可以避免切换准备时间过长,导致终端设备要切换的时候已经过晚的问题。
在条件切换中,一方面,可以为终端设备提前配置切换命令(handover command)。另一方面,对于高铁场景,终端设备的运行轨迹是特定的,所以源网络设备可以提前为终端设备配置目标网络设备,并且在切换命令中可以包含用于触发终端设备进行切换的条件。当该切换条件满足时,终端设备可以向目标网络设备发起接入请求。换句话说,条件切换可以支持在切换命令中配置多个候选小区,从而终端设备可以基于所配置的条件判断具体接入的目标小区。
具体地,条件切换的过程可以参见图3。如图3所示,在步骤301,源网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置信息,终端设备基于该测量配置进行测量上报。在步骤302,源网络设备与目标网络设备之间交互切换准备信息。在步骤303,源网络设备向终端设备发送条件切换命令,该条件切换命令中可以承载有小区的切换条件。在步骤304,当满足该条件切换命令时,终端设备实现与目标网络设备的同步。
但是,前文提及的传统的切换和条件切换都是基于终端设备上报以及网络设备配置的,终端设备和网络设备之间多条信令的交互导致切换时延较大。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种无线通信的方法,使得终端设备能够执行第一切换,第一切换为基于层一/层二的信令或测量触发的切换。第一切换为基于底层的切换,一方面可以减小信令开销,另一方面可以减少协议栈的传输层数,因此,第一切换是降低切换时延的解决方法之一。下面将结合附图对本申请实施例进行详细描述。
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种无线通信的方法的示意性流程图。图4的方法是从终端设备、源小区以及目标小区交互的角度进行描述的。该终端设备例如可以是图1所示的终端设备130,源小区对应源网络设备,目标小区对应目标网络设备,其中,源网络设备和目标网络设备例如可以是图1所示的网络设备110和120。源小区和目标小区的详细内容可以参见前文,此处不再赘述。
在步骤410,源小区向目标小区发送切换请求。该切换请求用于将终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。
作为一种实现方式,源小区可以向一个或多个候选小区发送切换请求,其中,目标小区为该一个或多个候选小区中的一个小区。
在一些实施例中,候选小区接收到切换请求后,可以根据源小区携带的业务信息开始准入,并进行无线资源配置。
在一些实施例中,候选小区接收到切换请求后,还可以向源小区发送切换请求确认消息。
在一些实施例中,源小区接收到候选小区发送的切换请求确认消息后,可以基于该切换请求确认消息进行切换决策(第一切换决策)。
在步骤430,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。该切换为第一切换,其中,第一切换为基于层一/层二的信令或测量触发的切换。
作为一种实现方式,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区可以是指,终端设备释放与源小区的连接,并同步到目标小区。示例性地,终端设备可以执行随机接入过程同步到目标小区,此外,终端设备可以向源小区发送RRC切换完成消息,以指示源小区断开与该终端设备的连接。
应该理解,在步骤430中,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区,并不限定终端设备一定可以成功切换到目标小区,或者说并不限定终端设备一定可以成功接入目标小区。换句话说,在步骤430中,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区可以表示,终端设备确定出可以切换的目标小区后,尝试进行切换或尝试接入该目标小区。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以执行基于层一/层二的信令或测量触发的第一切换,从而减小信令开销以及协议栈的传输层数,进而降低切换时延。
在一些实施例中,该切换(第一切换)是基于层一测量确定的。在另一些实施例中,该切换是基于层三测量确定的。有关层一测量和层三测量的具体内容,后文将会详细描述,此处暂不赘述。
在一些实施例中,该切换(第一切换)是基于终端设备接收的第一信息触发的,该第一信息用于指示终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。换句话说,终端设备可以在接收到源小区发送的切换命令后,基于该切换命令,执行第一切换,从源小区切换到目标小区。可选地,该切换命令中可以包括目标小区的相关信息,例如包括目标小区的标识。
作为一种实现方式,终端设备确定出可以切换的目标小区后,可以上报给源小区,由源小区发送第一信息以指示终端设备进行切换。示例性地,当终端设备确定目标小区满足第一条件时,终端设备可以向源小区发送第二信息。源小区接收到第二信息后,可以基于该第二信息向终端设备发送第一信息(第一信息也可以称为,第二信息的响应信息),该第一信息用于指示终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。
在一些实施例中,该第二信息用于向源小区上报第一测量结果,其中,该第一测量结果可以为层一测量结果,或者也可以为层三测量结果。源小区接收到第一测量结果后,可以根据第一测量结果确定终端设备接入的目标小区。在一些实施例中,该第二信息可以为指示信息,用于指示有目标小区满足第一条件,源小区可以根据该指示信息确定终端设备接入的目标小区。该第一条件为终端设备确定该目标小区是否满足执行切换/测量上报的条件,关于第一条件的具体内容,后文将会详细介绍,此处暂不赘述。
在一些实施例中,第二信息可以包括用于表示目标小区身份的信息,例如,第二信息可以包括目标小区的标识(如CGI或PCI)。可选地,第二信息还可以包括目标小区的TCI状态,或者目标小区的波束相关信息等。
在一些实施例中,第一信息和第二信息可以承载于MAC层控制单元(control element,CE)消息中,可以简称为MAC CE消息。在一些实施例中,第一信息可以承载于下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)中,换句话说,源小区可以通过物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)向终端设备发送第一信息;第二信息可以承载于上行控制信息(uplink control information,UCI) 中,换句话说,终端设备可以通过物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)向源小区上报第二信息。
在一些实施例中,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区是基于第一条件触发的,该第一条件为终端设备确定目标小区是否满足执行切换/测量上报的条件。换句话说,终端设备确定出可以切换的目标小区后,可以自主触发切换,从源小区切换到目标小区。具体地,作为一种实现方式,当终端设备确定目标小区满足第一条件时,终端设备可以断开与源小区的连接,并应用目标小区对应的配置,同步到该目标小区(例如执行随机接入)。
具体地,作为一种实现方式,终端设备可以根据某个候选小区对应的第一条件,判断该候选小区是否满足执行第一切换的第一条件,或者说,终端设备可以基于第一条件对候选小区进行评估。如果判断或评估结果是有某个或某些候选小区满足该第一条件,则该候选小区可以被确定为目标小区。进而,终端设备可以考虑切换到该目标小区。
需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,第一条件可以是一个或多个候选小区共用的。也就是说,在候选小区为多个的情况下,该多个候选小区可以对应相同的第一条件。在一些实施例中,第一条件也可以是针对小区级别的。也就是说,在候选小区为多个的情况下,多个候选小区可以有各自对应的第一条件。
在一些实施例中,当切换为基于层一测量的第一切换时,第一条件可以是针对层一测量的条件。作为示例而非限定,第一条件可以是误块率(block error ratio,BLER)、信道状态信息-参考信号(channel state information-reference signal,CSI-RS)、路损(pathloss)等针对层一测量的条件。示例性地,第一条件可以包括以下条件中的至少一种:
(1)第一波束集合中的至少一个波束满足第一阈值(也可以称为第一门限值,后文提及的阈值均可以称为门限值)。需要说明的是,该第一波束集合可以是针对源小区的波束集合,例如可以是指源小区的波束集合中的至少N个波束低于第一阈值,其中N为正整数。该第一波束集合也可以是针对目标小区的波束集合,例如可以是指目标小区的波束集合中的的至少N个波束高于第一阈值。需要说明的是,本申请实施例对第一波束集合中的信号类型不做具体限定,示例性地,第一波束集合可以包括以下信号中的至少一种:同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB),或CSI-RS,或上行探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)等。
(2)源小区的连续N次BLER高于第二阈值,其中N为正整数。当源小区的BLER越高、且出现频率越高时,说明源小区的信号质量越差,此时可以考虑对终端设备进行切换。作为一个示例,当源小区的连续5次BLER超过3%时,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,第一条件还可以是源小区在T时间内BLER高于第二阈值,T>0。作为一个示例,当源小区在2秒之内BLER均超过3%时,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。
(3)第一波束集合中的至少一个波束在T时间内的测量值低于/高于第三阈值,T>0。需要说明的是,该至少一个波束的测量值可以是针对源小区的测量值,例如可以是指源小区的CSI-RS的测量值低于第三阈值。该至少一个波束的测量值也可以是针对目标小区的测量值,例如可以是指目标小区的CSI-RS的测量值高于第三阈值。关于第一波束集合的具体内容,可以参见前文,此处不再赘述。
(4)源小区的测量值与目标小区的测量值的差值大于第四阈值。本申请对源小区的测量值和目标小区的测量值不做具体限定,例如可以是针对BLER,CSI-RS/SSB,路损的测量值。
在一些实施例中,源小区的测量值低于目标小区的测量值,且源小区的测量值与目标小区的测量值的差值大于第四阈值时,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区,例如,当源小区的CSI-RS的测量值低于目标小区的CSI-RS的测量值第四阈值时,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。在一些实施例中,源小区的测量值高于目标小区的测量值,且源小区的测量值与目标小区的测量值的差值大于第四阈值时,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区,例如,当源小区的BLER的测量值高于目标小区的BLER的测量值第四阈值时,终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。
需要说明的是,如果采用源小区的测量值低于/高于目标小区的测量值这一条件时,源小区的测量值和目标小区的测量值应该是针对相同的测量信号的,例如,均是针对源小区和目标小区的CSI-RS的测量值进行比较,或者,均是针对源小区和目标小区的CSI-RS以及路损的测量值进行比较。
需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,第四阈值等于零。也就是说,只要目标小区的测量信号比源小区的测量信号好,则有可能执行终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。在一些实施例中,第四阈值大于零。也就说,当目标小区的测量信号比源小区的测量信号好得多时,有可能执行终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。
(5)源小区的测量值低于第五阈值,目标小区的测量值高于第六阈值。关于源小区的测量值和目标小区的测量值的相关描述,可以参考上文。需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,第五阈值等于第六阈值。也就是说,只要目标小区的测量信号比源小区的测量信号好,则有可能执行终端设备从源小区切换到目 标小区。在一些实施例中,第五阈值小于第六阈值。例如,当测量值是针对CSI-RS的测量值时,源小区的测量值可以低于第五阈值,目标小区的测量值可以高于第六阈值。
(6)源小区的测量值高于第七阈值,目标小区的测量值低于第八阈值。在该实施例中,第七阈值可以等于第八阈值,或者第七阈值可以大于第八阈值。例如,当测量值是针对BLER的测量时,源小区的测量值可以高于第七阈值,目标小区的测量值可以低于第八阈值。
