当正在使用网络服务的用户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,为了保证通信的连续性和服务的质量,系统要将该用户与原小区的通信链路转移到新的小区上,即执行切换过程。
以Xn接口切换过程为例,切换过程可分为以下三个阶段:
(1)切换准备阶段:包括测量控制和汇报,切换请求以及确认。在切换确认消息中包含目标小区生成的切换命令,源小区不允许对目标小区生成的切换命令进行任何修改,直接将切换命令转发给UE。
(2)切换执行阶段:UE在收到切换命令后立即执行切换过程,即UE断开源小区并与目标小区连接(如执行随机接入,发送RRC切换完成消息给目标基站等);进一步的,进行序列号(SN)状态转移以及数据转发。
(3)切换完成阶段:目标小区与AMF和UPF执行路径切换(Path Switch),并释放源基站的UE 上下文。
图2是本申请实施例提供的小区切换方法的示意性框图。
如图2所示,切换准备阶段(S201~S205)可以包括:
在S201中,源基站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基站。
在S202中,源基站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S203中,若源基站决定触发切换,则可以向目标基站发送切换请求。
在S204中,目标基站接收到源基站发送的切换请求后,可以根据源基站携带的业务信息开始准入,并进行无线资源配置。
在S205中,目标基站向源基站发送切换请求确认消息,将在目标基站内的准入结果和无线资源配置信息返回给源基站。至此,切换准备阶段完成。
如图2所示,切换执行阶段(S206~S208)可以包括:
在S206中,源基站接收到目标基站的切换请求确认消息后,可以触发终端设备进行切换。
在S207中,源基站可以将缓冲数据、在传数据包、数据的系统序列号等转发给目标基站。并且,目标基站可以缓存从源基站接收的数据。
此外,终端设备可以断开与源基站的连接,与目标基站建立同步。
在S208中,终端设备同步到目标基站。至此,切换执行阶段完成。
如图2所示,切换完成阶段(S209~S212)可以包括:
在S209中,目标基站向移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)发送路径切换请求。
在S210中,AMF接收到目标基站的路径切换请求后,与用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)执行路径切换,清除源基站用户面的路径标记。
在S211中,在路径切换完成之后,AMF可以向目标基站发送路径切换确认消息。
在S212中,目标基站向源基站发送终端设备上下文释放消息,通知源基站切换成功,并触发源基站释放终端设备上下文。至此,切换完成。
终端设备在收到切换命令后立即启动T304定时器,并开始下行同步到目标小区,获取目标小区MIB信息,然后发起随机接入。随机接入过程中允许多次前导码(preamble)重传直至随机接入成功。进一步地,如果T304定时器超时,说明切换失败,则所述终端设备可以直接触发RRC连接重建过程。
此外,对于某些特殊场景,比如UE高速移动或者高频条件下,需要频繁的进行切换。
为了避免了切换准备时间过长,进而避免导致UE要切换的时候已经过晚的问题,本申请提供了一种基于条件切换(Conditional handover)的小区切换方法,即为UE提前配置切换命令(HO command)。此外,对于高铁场景,由于UE的运行轨迹是特定的,因此,源基站可以提前把目标基站配给UE,并且在切换命令中包含用于触发UE进行小区切换的条件,当满足所配条件时,UE向目标基站发起接入请求。
图3是本申请实施例提供的条件切换300的示意性流程图。
如图3所示,所述条件切换300可包括:
S301,源基站接收源基站发送的测量配置,并将基于测量配置测量的测量结果上报给源基站。
S302,源基站和目标基站之间进行切换准备。
S303,源基站向UE发送切换命令,所述切换命令可包括用于触发UE进行小区切换的条件,当满足所配条件时,UE向目标基站发起接入请求。
S304,终端设备同步到目标基站,以完成小区切换。
需要说明的是,在进行条件切换时,可以支持在切换命令中配置多个目标小区。此时,UE可以基于所配置的条件(condition)判断接入哪个目标小区。
此外,通常情况下,小区切换流程都是基于终端测量上报以及网络的配置实现的,而终端的测量上报和网络的配置必然会涉及多条信令的交互,使得小区切换存在较大的时延,因此,本领域亟需一种无线通信方法,以降低切换时延。有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种无线通信方法、终端设备以及网络设备,能够降低切换时延。
图4是本申请实施例提供的无线通信方法400的示意性流程图,所述无线通信方法400可以由终端设备和网络设备交互执行。图4中所示的终端设备可以是如图1所示的终端设备,图4中所示的网络设备可以是如图1所示的接入网设备。当然,相对小区切换来说,图4所示的网络设备也可以称为目标网络设备或目标基站。
