具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供的技术可以应用于图1所示的通信系统10中，通信系统10包括一个或多个通信装置30(例如，终端设备)经由一个或多个接入网设备20连接到一个或多个核心网设备，以实现多个通信设备之间的通信。所述通信系统例如可以支持2G,3G,4G,或5G(有时也称为new radio，NR)接入技术的通信系统，无线保真(wireless fidelity，WiFi)系统，第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)相关的蜂窝系统，支持多种无线技术融合的通信系统，或者是面向未来的演进系统。容易理解的，本申请实施例也可以应用于其它的通信系统，例如该通信系统中存在实体或网元需要发送传输方向指示信息，另一个实体或网元需要接收该指示信息，并根据该指示信息确定一定时间内的数据传输方向。
以下，对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明，以便于本领域技术人员理解。
本申请中，终端设备是一种具有无线收发功能的设备，可以是固定设备，移动设备、手持设备(例如手机)、穿戴设备、车载设备，或内置于上述设备中的无线装置(例如，通信模块，调制解调器，或芯片系统等)。所述终端设备用于连接人，物，机器等，可广泛用于各种场景，例如包括但不限于以下场景：蜂窝通信、设备到设备通信(device-to-device，D2D)、车到一切(vehicle to everything，V2X)、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine /machine-type communications，M2M/MTC)、物联网(internet of things，IoT)、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)、工业控制(industrial control)、无人驾驶(self driving)、远程医疗(remote medical)、智能电网(smart grid)、智能家具、智能办公、智能穿戴、智能交通，智慧城市(smart city)、无人机、机器人等场景的终端设备。所述终端设备有时可称为用户设备(user equipment，UE)、终端、接入站、UE站、远方站、无线通信设备、或用户装置等等，为描述方便，本申请中将终端设备以UE为例进行说明。
本申请中的网络设备，例如包括接入网设备，和/或核心网设备。所述接入网设备为具有无线收发功能的设备，用于与所述终端设备进行通信。所述接入网设备包括但不限于上述通信系统中的基站(BTS,Node B,eNodeB/eNB，或gNodeB/gNB)、收发点(transmission reception point,TRP)，3GPP后续演进的基站，WiFi系统中的接入节点，无线中继节点，无线回传节点等。所述基站可以是：宏基站，微基站，微微基站，小站，中继站等。多个基站可以支持上述提及的同一种接入技术的网络，也可以支持上述提及的不同接入技术的网络。基站可以包含一个或多个共站或非共站的传输接收点。网络设备还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network，CRAN)场景下的无线控制器、集中单元(centralized unit，CU)，和/或分布单元(distributed unit，DU)。网络设备还可以是服务器，可穿戴设备，或车载设备等。例如，V2X技术中的网络设备可以为路侧单元(road side unit，RSU)。以下对接入网设备以为基站为例进行说明。所述通信系统中的多个网络设备可以为同一类型的基站，也可以为不同类型的基站。基站可以与终端设备进行通信，也可以通过中继站与终端设备进行通信。终端设备可以与不同接入技术中的多个基站进行通信。其中基站包括基带装置和射频装置。基带装置可以由一个或多个节点实现，射频装置可以从基带装置拉远独立实现，也可以集成基带装置中，或者部分拉远部分集成在基带装置中。
RAN中的网络设备可以包括集中单元(CU)和分布单元(DU)，多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。CU和DU可以根据其具备的无线网络的协议层功能进行划分，例如分组数据 汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU，PDCP以下的协议层，例如RLC层和MAC层等的功能设置在DU。需要说明的是，这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例，还可以在其它协议层划分。射频装置可以拉远，不放在DU中，也可以集成在DU中，或者部分拉远部分集成在DU中，本申请不作任何限制。还可以将CU的控制面(CP)和用户面(UP)分离，分成不同实体来实现，分别为控制面CU实体(CU-CP实体)和用户面CU实体(CU-UP实体)。在该网络架构中，CU产生的信令可以通过DU发送给UE，或者UE产生的信令可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该信令进行解析而直接通过协议层封装而透传给UE或CU。在该网络架构中，将CU划分为作为RAN侧的网络设备，此外，也可以将CU划分作为CN侧的网络设备，本申请对此不做限制。所述核心网设备用于实现移动管理，数据处理，会话管理，策略和计费等功能。不同接入技术的系统中实现核心网功能的设备名称可以不同，本申请并不对此进行限定。
以5G系统为例，所述核心网设备包括：访问和移动管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)、会话管理功能(session management function，SMF)、或用户面功能(user plane function，UPF)等。
本申请实施例中，用于实现网络设备功能的通信装置可以是网络设备，也可以是能够支持网络设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片系统，该装置可以被安装在网络设备中。在本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，以用于实现网络设备的功能的装置是网络设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
本申请中，对于名词的数目，除非特别说明，表示“单数名词或复数名词”，即"一个或多个”。“至少一个”是指一个或者多个，“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B的情况，其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。例如，A/B，表示：A或B。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达，是指的这些项中的任意组合，包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如，a,b,或c中的至少一项(个)，表示：a,b,c,a和b,a和c,b和c,或a和b和c，其中a,b,c可以是单个，也可以是多个。
本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分，不用于限定多个对象的大小、内容、顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度等。例如，第一指示信息和第二指示信息，可以是同一个指示信息，也可以是不同的指示信息，且，这种名称也并不是表示这两个指示信息的信息量大小、内容、优先级或者重要程度等的不同。
可编程逻辑控制器(programmable logic control，PLC)为一种工业场景中常用的控制器，PLC产生的数据(例如控制数据)经过两个终端(例如UE)，发送给无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)，并通过RAN发送给核心网设备(例如UPF)。这里PLC仅为示例，在实际应用场景中可以是摄像头、摄像机、监控设备或者其他设备，在此不做限制。
为了提高上行数据传输速率，两个UE分别传输所有数据中的一部分到RAN，而两个UE传输的数据总和即为所有的数据，这样相当于将两个UE的传输聚合起来，总的传输速率和传输功率等于两个UE之和，称为UE聚合传输。
一种可能的方案中，一旦UE配置了聚合传输，则会一直使用聚合传输与RAN通信。而在无线通信中，上行传输速率与UE和RAN之间的距离有关系，例如当UE处于小区中心，即距离RAN较近的时候，信道质量比较好，此时UE和RAN之间的传输速率比较高，另外UE的传输功率也够用，所以此时如果使用UE聚合传输会导致功率和电量的浪费。
因此如何减少聚合传输过程中的功耗，是亟需解决的问题。容易理解的，本申请中以上行数据传输为例，而本申请中的网络架构和传输机制同样也适用于下行数据传输，这里不做限定。
图2示出了本申请提供的通信系统10中的一种通信网络架构，后续提供的实施例(例如图3、所示的实施例)均可适用于该架构。该通信网络架构包括一个或多个终端(后续以UE为例进行说明)经由一个或多个接入网设备20连接到一个或多个核心网设备，以实现多个通信设备之间的通信。可选的，该通信架构还包括一个或多个通信设备(例如工业设备，图中示出工业设备1)连接到一个或多个UE(图中示出UE1和UE2)。可选的，工业设备经由交换机或者路由器或者集线器与UE连接，或者工业设备与UE直连，本申请实施例并不限定。工业设备可以是工业应用相关的设备，例如PLC、摄像头、摄像机、监控设备或者其他设备。本申请中所述的“聚合传输”，是指至少两个UE联合向接入网设备传输数据，以提升上行传输的速率。一种可能的方式中，工业设备与多个UE进行连接(例如工业设备1与UE1和UE2)进行连接，上行业务数据由工业设备1发送到UE1和/或UE2，然后通过UE1和/或UE2将数据发送给RAN和核心网设备。另一可能的方式是，工业设备与单个UE进行连接(例如，工业设备1与UE1连接)，UE1直接将数据发送给RAN和核心网设备，和/或通过UE2将数据发送给RAN和核心网设备。
在后续描述中，第一终端(以UE1为例)、第二终端(以UE2为例)、以及网络设备可以分别为图2中所示网络架构中的第一终端，第二终端，以及网络设备。在本申请的各个实施例所对应的附图中，用虚线表示的步骤，是可选的步骤，在后文中不多赘述。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法300。
S303.接入网设备向第一终端发送第一指示信息，相应的，第一终端接收来自接入网设备的第一指示信息。
例如，第一指示信息用于指示开启聚合传输，或用于指示关闭聚合传输。其中，聚合传输包括通过第一终端和第二终端与接入网设备进行第一数据传输，其中，第一数据包括第一子数据和第二子数据，第一子数据通过第一终端与接入网设备进行传输，第二子数据通过第二终端与接入网设备进行传输。传输包括上行传输或下行传输。
一种可能的实现方式中，第一指示信息还包括第一配置信息，第一配置信息用于指示将第一数据分配成第一子数据和/或第二子数据的方式，可选的，第一配置信息包括传输比例信息和/或传输数据量分配信息；相应的，第一终端根据第一配置信息分配第一数据。容易理解的，分配第一数据可以是确定第一终端需要传输的第一子数据和/或第二子数据，或者，也可以是，向第二终端发送第二子数据，例如，确定第二终端需要传输的第二子数据并将第二子数据向第二终端发送。
可选的，所述第一指示信息包括以下至少一种：聚合传输开启指示信息，聚合传输关闭指示信息，用于指示聚合传输开启或关闭的信息，传输比例信息，传输数据量分配信息。
容易理解的，本申请实施例不限定指示信息指示的实现方式，例如，可以是显示指示或者是隐式指示，也可以用一条或多条信息进行指示，或者用一个比特或多个比特进行指示。配置信息也可以称为指示信息，例如，第一配置信息也可以称为第一子指示信息，类似的，第二配置至第五配置信息也可称为第二子至五子指示信息，本申请实施例以第一配置信息至第五配置信息为例进行介绍，并不限定。
容易理解的，聚合传输可以是上行传输或下行传输，本申请实施例以上行传输为例，下行传输与上行传输的实现类似，所不同的是传输方向。
可选的，第一数据为来自工业设备的数据，第一终端与工业设备连接。可选的，该工业设备与第一终端和第二终端进行连接。
所述第一指示信息可以承载于无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)消息、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)控制元素(control element，CE)或下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)等消息中发送给终端。
可选的，方法300还包括步骤S302：确定第一指示信息。
一种可能的实现方式中，接入网设备根据第一信息确定第一指示信息。
其中，所述第一信息包括如下一项或多项：服务质量信息，数据传输速率信息，缓冲状态信息，信道质量信息或终端能力信息。
其中，QoS信息包括业务的QoS需求。可选的，QoS需求信息为第一终端和或第二终端对应的工业设备的业务的QoS需求信息，例如，该工业设备为摄像头时，QoS需求信息与视频相关。
数据传输速率信息包括业务的数据传输速率。缓冲状态信息包括第一终端和/或第二终端的缓冲状态。
信道质量信息包括第一终端和/或第二终端与接入网设备之间的信道质量。终端能力信息包括终端是否支持聚合传输特性或者功能等。
容易理解的，第一信息包括第一终端和/或第二终端对应的第一信息。例如，QoS需求信息包括第一终端和/或第二终端业务的QoS需求。
接入网设备可以有多种可能的方式确定或获取第一信息中的一种或多种。
一种可能的方式中，第一信息中的一种或多种信息是接入网设备具有的，接入网设备通过测量、统计或者计算的方式获得第一信息中的一种或多种，例如，接入网设备通过测量得到数据传输速率信息，信道质量信息。
又一种可能的方式中，接入网设备通过其他设备(例如，第一终端，第二终端或核心网设备)获取第一信息中的一种或多种。例如，第一终端和/或第二终端向接入网设备上报缓冲状态信息、信道质量信息或终端能力信息。再例如，接入网设备通过核心网设备获取QoS需求信息。
例如，当业务为某一QoS时，例如该业务为视频业务，接入网设备认为该业务需要开启聚合传输，第一终端确定开启聚合传输。
又一种可能的方式中，接入网设备根据第一信息和阈值信息确定第一指示信息。例如接入网设备确定至少一个阈值(或者称为门限)，当相应第一信息的值大于、等于或者小于门限的时候，即认为需要开启聚合传输。容易理解的，接入网设备确定是否开启聚合传输有多种可能的实现，可以根据实际需要灵活调整，本申请实施例并不限定，也就是说本申请实施例并不限定确定是否开启或关闭聚合传输的方式，例如，对于终端能力来说，当终端能力支持聚合传输时，才会为终端配置聚合传输并发送聚合传输开启指示信息。对于服务质量信息来说，只有当前业务的服务质量需求与预设的服务质量需求匹配或者一致时，接入网设备才会发送聚合传输开启指示，容易理解的，为避免赘述，终端和核心网设备确定是否开启或关闭聚合传输的方式可以类似参考接入网设备的确定方式。可选的，阈值信息可以是预定义或预配置的，或者阈值信息是第一终端或接入网设备确定的，或者阈值信息是核心网设备确定的。阈值信息可以包括与第一信息中的一个或多个信息对应的一个或多个阈值。
又一种可能的实现方式中，核心网设备向接入网设备发送第二指示信息，相应的，接入网设备接收来自核心网设备的第二指示信息，其中，第二指示信息用于指示开启聚合传输， 或用于指示关闭聚合传输。接入网设备根据第二指示信息确定第一指示信息。
可选的，方法300还包括步骤S301：第一终端向接入网设备发送数据，相应的，接入网设备接收来自终端的数据。
可选的，方法300还包括步骤S304：第一终端向接入网设备发送第一指示信息的响应信息，相应的，接入网设备接收来自第一终端的响应信息。或者说，发送第一指示信息的响应信息的步骤可以替换为第一终端根据第一指示信息开启或者关闭聚合传输。
例如，将第一终端在与接入网设备进行通信过程中发送给接入网设备的某条消息视为该响应信息，即，第一终端向接入网设备发送消息，就视为第一终端对于第一指示信息进行了响应，例如该响应信息包括采用聚合传输的方式传输的数据，再例如，该响应消息包括按照分配比例传输的数据，又例如，该响应消息包括接收确定信息，用于指示成功接收该第一指示信息，等等。
可替换地，第一终端也可以不向接入网设备发送第一指示信息的响应信息，例如第一终端可能在接收第一指示信息后关闭聚合传输等操作，而不向第二网络设备发送响应消息，因此S304是可选步骤。
可选的，方法300还包括步骤S305：接入网设备向第二终端发送第三指示信息，相应的，第二终端接收来自接入网设备的第三指示信息。
例如，第三指示信息用于指示开启聚合传输，或用于指示关闭聚合传输。

容易理解的，第三配置信息包含的内容与第一配置信息类似，可参考S303中对第一配置信息的相关介绍。
可选的，接入网设备确定第一指示信息包括，接入网设备确定第一指示信息和第三指示信息。可以理解为，确定第三指示的方式与确定第一指示信息的方式类似。
可选的，方法300还包括步骤S306：第二终端向接入网设备发送第三指示信息的响应信息，相应的，接入网设备接收来自第二终端的响应信息。
第二终端的响应信息与步骤S304中第一终端的响应信息类似，请参考步骤S304中的相关介绍。
可选的，步骤S302中，核心网设备向接入网设备发送第二指示信息之前，方法300还包括：
步骤S307：核心网设备确定第二指示信息。
例如，核心网设备根据第二信息确定第二指示信息，第二信息包括如下一项或多项：服务质量信息，数据传输速率信息，缓冲状态信息，信道质量信息，或应用层反馈信息或终端能力信息。
可选的，核心网设备根据第二信息和阈值信息确定第二指示信息，阈值信息包括与所述第二信息对应的阈值。
可选的，第二指示信息还包括第二配置信息，第二配置信息用于确定第一终端和/或第二终端，第二配置信息包括第一终端和第二终端的对应关系。
可选的，核心网设备接收来自接入网设备的第二指示信息的响应信息，包括：接收来自接入网设备的数据。
接入网设备是当前服务于终端的网络设备。也就是说，本申请实施例是网络设备来通知终端开启或关闭聚合传输(例如，由接入网设备或核心网设备确定开启或关闭聚合传输)，从而使得终端动态确定是否开启或关闭聚合传输，减少了不必要的功耗。
基于图3的方案，图4和图5分别给出了详细的通信方法举例。接下来，请参考图4，给出了本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。
S401：第一终端向接入网设备发送来自服务设备(例如工业设备)的数据，相应的，接入网设备通过第一终端接收来自工业设备的数据。
其中，工业设备与第一终端和/或第二终端连接，也就是说，工业设备通过终端将数据发给网络设备，例如接入网设备或核心网设备。工业设备和终端的连接的可能的具体实现可以参考图2中的相关描述。
一种可能的实现方式中，工业设备同时与两个互为主辅终端的终端相连接，当有上行业务时，上行数据从工业设备传输到主终端和辅终端，同时触发两个终端发起随机接入，建立无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)连接。其中，工业设备对应的主辅终端的确定可以是RRC建立完成以后，接入网设备发送指示信息指示的，也可以是发起RRC连接之前就确定的，例如在部署时预设的或者在与核心网设备注册时核心网设备确定的。本实施例，以第一终端为主终端，第二终端为辅终端为例进行介绍。
一种可能的实现方式中，RRC建立完成后，第一终端向接入网设备发送来自工业设备的数据，而爹终端处于抑制状态/非激活状态，不向接入网设备发送数据。
S402：接入网设备确定是否开启或关闭聚合传输。也可称为，接入网设备确定是否向第一终端发送用于指示是否开始或关闭聚合传输的指示信息。
例如，接入网设备接收第一终端发送的数据，并判断是否需要开启聚合传输。
一种可能的方式中，接入网设备根据第一信息确定是否开启聚合传输。
其中第一信息包括以下至少一种：服务质量(quantity of service，QoS)需求信息、数据传输速率信息、缓冲状态信息、信道质量信息和UE能力信息中的一种或多种。

终端能力信息包括UE是否支持聚合传输特性或者功能等，UE能力可以通过UE上报得知，也可以通过核心网设备指示给接入网设备。
例如，当UE的业务为某一QoS时，接入网设备认为该业务需要开启聚合传输，接入网设备确定开启聚合传输，例如该业务为视频业务。
又一种可能的方式中，接入网设备根据第一信息和阈值信息确定是否开启聚合传输。例如接入网设备确定至少一个阈值(或者称为门限)，当相应第一信息的值大于、等于或者小于门限的时候，即认为需要开启聚合传输。示例性的，当信道质量小于第一门限时，接入网设备确定开启聚合传输。容易理解的，接入网设备确定是否开启聚合传输有多种可能的实现，可以根据实际需要灵活调整，本申请实施例并不限定。可选的，阈值信息可以是预定义或预 配置的，或者阈值信息是接入网设备确定的，或者阈值信息是核心网设备确定的。阈值信息可以包括与第一信息中的一个或多个信息对应的一个或多个阈值。
容易理解的，本申请不限定步骤S401和步骤S402的执行顺序，也就是对判断是否需要开启聚合传输的步骤与接收UE数据的步骤的顺序不做限定，可以是先判断再接收UE数据，或者接收到UE数据以后才进行判断。
一种可能的方式中，接入网设备判断需要开启或关闭聚合传输，则向第一终端和/或第二终端发送指示信息，指示聚合传输开启或关闭。
S403：接入网设备向第一终端发送第一指示信息用于指示开启聚合传输，相应的，第一终端接收来自接入网设备的第一指示信息。
容易理解的，步骤S403中以第一指示信息用于指示开启聚合传输为例，第一指示信息还可以用于指示关闭聚合传输。
可选的，第一终端根据第一指示信息开启或者关闭聚合传输。
可选的，第一指示信息还包括第一配置信息，第一配置信息用于指示将来自工业设备的第一数据分配成第一子数据和/或第二子数据的方式，第一配置信息包括传输比例信息和/或传输数据量分配信息。第一配置信息也可称为分流指示信息，例如第一配置信息可以是分流规则，用于指示两个终端以什么样的规则向接入网设备发送数据。具体地，指示两个终端分别向接入网设备传输多少数据包，例如两个终端各向接入网设备传输一半数据包，也可以是其他比例，不做限制。进一步还可以指示两个终端分别向接入网设备传输哪些数据包，例如第一终端传输序列号为奇数的数据包，第二终端传输序列号为偶数的数据包，也可以是其他规则，不做限制。
一种可能的实现方式中，方法400还包括步骤S404：第一终端向接入网设备发送第一指示信息的响应信息，相应的，接入网设备接收来自第一终端的响应信息。关于响应信息的介绍可以参考步骤S304的相关描述。
S405：接入网设备向第二终端发送第三指示信息用于指示开启聚合传输，相应的，第二终端接收来自接入网设备的第三指示信息。

例如，向第一终端发送第四指示信息的响应信息，包括：向第一终端发送(第四子指示信息，以第四子指示信息为第四配置信息为例进行介绍)第四配置信息，第四配置信息用于指示将第一数据分配成第一子数据和第二子数据的方式，第四配置信息包括传输比例信息和/或传输数据量分配信息。

容易理解的，本申请实施例中，第一终端和第二终端之间交互需要先建立连接，建立连接是时间可以是收到聚合传输开启指示信息之后或者之前，不做限制；第一终端和第二终端之间可以通过有线连接或者无线连接，例如侧行链路(sidelink)、蓝牙、WIFI等建立连接。第一终端和/或第二终端与接入网设备之间的连接(例如RRC连接)可以在与接入网设备有通信需求时再建立，也可以提前建立，并不限定。
通过该方法，由终端动态对聚合传输进行开启和关闭，可以在不需要开启聚合传输时节省UE功率和电量。容易理解的，本申请实施例以由第一终端确定开启或关闭聚合传输为示例，由第二终端动态确定的方式与第一终端动态确定的方式类似。
