具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
图1本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构100的示意图。
图1示出了5G系统中的终端设备101,网络设备102,以及核心网设备103。为了更好地满足不同的业务需求,网络设备102与核心网设备103端虚拟出多个(图1只示例了两个)相互隔离的逻辑子网,来针对性地为用户提供服务。例如,图1示出对应网络切片#1的逻辑子网,和对应网络切片#2的逻辑子网。不同网络切片为终端设备提供不同的服务,例如终端设备101接入网络设备102,网络设备102和核心网设备103通过网络切片#1为终端设备101提供增强移动宽带(enhanced Mobile Broadband,eMBB)服务,网络设备102和核心网设备103通过网络切片#2为终端设备101提供超高可靠性超低时延通信(ultra-reliable low-latency communication,URLLC)服务。网络切片#1可称为eMBB切片,网络切片#2可称为URLLC切片。
针对网络切片的随机接入,网络设备会在广播消息中携带网络切片随机接入配置信息,当终端设备发起的网络切片业务属于网络切片#1对应的业务时,网络侧通过网络切片#1为终端设备服务。
示例地,终端设备101如果要发起eMBB业务,可在注册请求中携带对应的单网络切片选择辅助信息,网络设备102通过该单网络切片选择辅助信息选择能为终端设备101提供eMBB服务的接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF),选择AMF后,通过AMF,网络设备和终端设备之间的信令交互建立协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话,后续通过PDU会话进行数据传输。
可以理解,图1只是一种示例,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何限定。本申请实施例提供的实施例还可以涉及图1中未示出的网络节点(设备),当然本申请实施例提供的实施例也可以只包括图1示出的网络节点(设备)。
本申请实施例中的终端设备:也可以称为终端、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。本申请的实施例中的终端可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,5G网络中的终端或者未来演进网络中的终端等。
其中,可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合 使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的任意一种具有无线收发功能的通信设备。该网络设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(home evolved NodeB,HeNB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseBand unit,BBU),无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point,TRP)等,还可以为5G,如NR系统中的gNB,或传输点(TRP或TP),5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)等。
在一些部署中,gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能,DU实现gNB的部分功能。比如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。RRC层的信息由CU生成,最终会经过DU的PHY层封装变成PHY层信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来。因而,在这种架构下,高层信令如RRC层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。
本申请实施例的核心网设备的功能是提供用户连接、对用户的管理以及对业务完成承载,作为承载网络提供到外部网络的接口。示例地,在5G系统中,核心网设备可以包括,接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF),网络切片选择功能(network slice selection function,NSSF)。AMF主要进行移动性管理、接入鉴权/授权等功能,此外,还负责在终端与策略控制功能(policy control function,PCF)间传递用户策略。NSSF负责根据入网终端设备提供的网络切片选择辅助信息或单网络切片选择辅助信息判断应该为终端设备提供哪个网络切片的服务,进而决定由哪个AMF为该终端设备提供接入服务。
应理解,在未来的通信系统,例如6G通信系统中,上述网元或设备仍可以使用其在5G通信系统中的名称,或者也可以有其它名称,本申请实施例对此不作限定。上述网元或设备的功能可以由一个独立网元完成,也可以由若干个网元共同完成。在实际部署中,核心网中的网元可以部署在相同或者不同的物理设备上。例如作为一种可能的部署,可以将AMF和SMF部署在同一个物理设备上。又例如,5G核心网的网元可以和4G核心网的网元部署在同一物理设备上。上述核心网设备包括的网元的列举仅为一种示例,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何限定。核心网设备中还可包括上述未列举出的网元,当然本申请核心网设备中也可以只包括上述列举出的部分网元,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通信(global  system formobile communications,GSM)系统、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service,GPRS)、LTE系统、高级的长期演进(LTE advanced,LTE-A)系统,LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)通信系统、5G系统或未来演进的通信系统,车到其它设备(vehicle-to-X V2X),其中V2X可以包括车到互联网(vehicle to network,V2N)、车到车(vehicle to vehicle,V2V)、车到基础设施(vehicle to infrastructure,V2I)、车到行人(vehicle to pedestrian,V2P)等、车间通信长期演进技术(long term evolution-vehicle,LTE-V)、车联网、机器类通信(machine type communication,MTC)、物联网(Internet of things,IoT)、机器间通信长期演进技术(long term evolution-machine,LTE-M),机器到机器(machine to machine,M2M)等。
网络设备在随机接入参数的初始化过程中,针对不同的随机接入类型配置不同的随机接入优先级(random access,RA-Prioritization)。随机接入优先级用于在特定小区(special cell)的任何上行部分带宽(bandwidth part,BWP)上申请特定接入标识的随机接入过程,此处特定小区在双连接模式下是指主小区组中的主小区或者辅小区组的主辅小区,在其他通信模式中指的是主小区。
随机接入优先级:包括高优先级功率抬升步长(powerRampingStepHighPriority)和避让指标(backoff indicator,BI)缩放因子(scalingFactor)这两个参数,后文中避让指标缩放因子以缩放因子BI简称。其中高优先级功率抬升步长用于指示终端设备在优先随机接入过程中发射功率的抬升步长(即终端设备随机接入过程失败时还没有达到最大尝试次数preambleTransMax,此时终端设备可以在上次发射功率的基础上,将功率提升上述高优先级功率抬升步长之后再次发送随机接入请求,以提高接入成功率),缩放因子BI用于控制终端设备在两次随机接入信息时机(random access channel occasion,RO)请求中间相隔的避让时间。
网络设备针对不同网络切片,或者不同网络切片组配置不同的随机接入资源配置,随机接入资源配置包括但不限于:随机接入优先级,随机接入前导序列的指示信息,随机接入前导序列占用的时频资源的指示信息,竞争解决定时器的计时时间长度,随机接入最大次数,调度消息尺寸门限。网络设备配置的依据可以是S-NSSAI、RSA ID等切片相关信息,从而实现对不同网络切片业务的区别对待,实现不同网络切片的资源隔离,例如,当一个网络切片组配置一个随机接入资源配置时,该随机接入资源配置适用于该网络切片组中的所有网络切片。
网络切片可简称为切片,本申请中出现的切片应理解为网络切片。
基于不同的随机接入资源,网络设备可以识别出终端设备当前请求的网络切片,更早地判断是否可以接受该网络切片业务请求,以避免网络设备和核心网之间不必要的信令交互。
如果网络设备同时配置了网络切片业务对应的随机接入优先级#1,以及MPS/MCS对应的随机接入优先级#2,终端设备发起了业务#1,该业务#1为网络切片业务,同时该业务 #1还包括MPS/MCS的特征,此时有两个随机接入优先级可以供终端设备使用,终端设备需要根据网络设备的指示确定使用随机接入优先级#1,还是使用随机接入优先级#2进行随机接入。一种实施方式,网络设备向终端设备发送覆盖指示,若该覆盖指示指示切片业务的随机接入优先级覆盖MPS/MCS的随机接入优先级,即为指示终端设备选择切片业务对应的随机接入优先级#1进行随机接入,若该覆盖指示指示MPS/MCS的随机接入优先级覆盖切片业务的随机接入优先级,即为指示终端设备选择MPS/MCS对应的随机接入优先级#2进行随机接入。
上述介绍了网络设备为符合网络切片和MPS/MCS特征的业务分别配置了随机接入优先级时,终端设备如何选择随机接入优先级进行随机接入的过程。
但是除了网络切片,和MPS/MCS等特征之外,未来可能会针对终端设备发起的业务提出更多的特征,例如小数据传输,覆盖增强,能力受限等特征。当终端设备发起的业务#1对应的特征包括除网络切片和MPS/MCS之外的特征时,例如业务#1对应的特征为小数据传输和网络切片时,终端设备无法通过上述实施方式选择随机接入优先级进行随机接入。
为方便理解本申请实施例,对以下业务的特征进行解释:
1、小数据传输(small data transmission,SDT),当某一终端设备产生的数据包的数量小于某个特定阈值,和/或当该终端设备测量到下行参考信号的信号质量高于某个特定阈值时(例如该终端设备测量到下行参考信号的接收功率高于某个特定阈值时),该终端设备发起的业务对应的特征可以包括SDT。也就是说当终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括SDT时,说明该业务产生的数据包的数量小于某个特定阈值,和/或发起该业务的终端设备对应的下行参考信号的接收功率高于某个特定阈值。例如海量物联网通信(massive machine-type communications,mMTC)类型的终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括SDT。
2、覆盖增强(coverage enhancement,CE),当某一终端设备测量到下行参考信号的信号质量小于某个特定阈值时,例如某一终端设备测量到下行参考信号的接收功率小于某个特定阈值时,该终端设备可以判定为远距离终端设备,此时该终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括覆盖增强,通常情况下与网络设备的距离小于一定阈值的终端设备被称为远距离终端设备。
3、能力受限(reduced capability,RedCap),可穿戴设备、视频监控、工业无线传感器等终端设备可称为能力受限的终端设备,能力受限的终端设备支持的最大带宽比普通终端设备支持的最大带宽小,能力受限的终端设备的收发天线的数量比普通终端设备的收发天线的数量少。能力受限的终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括能力受限。能力受限的终端设备也被称为低能力终端设备。
4、MPS,网络设备为包括MPS特征的业务提供优先级处理,以增加授权服务用户的语音、视频和数据通信会话成功的可能性。即签约了MPS业务的终端设备,或者说有MPS授权的终端设备可以在公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)拥塞的情况下,相较于其他PLMN用户(未签约MPS业务的用户,或者没有授权MPS的用户)可以优先获得下一个可用无线信道进行接入,并建立会话。MPS终端设备(该终端设备有MPS授权)发起的业务对应的特征包括MPS。
5、MCS,关键任务型的要求包括较低的设置和传输延迟、高可用性和可靠性、处理 大量用户和设备的能力、强安全性和优先级、以及抢占处理。该特征主要为关键任务型的组织或其他业务和组织(例如公用事业、铁路)的终端用户提供通信服务。例如,公用事业或铁路系统中的终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括MCS。
以上业务的特征仅为举例,本申请实施例中涉及的业务的特征不限于此,还可包括其他的根据业务类型,业务等级(业务类型,或业务等级可以是依据终端设备的类型或功能类型划分的)等划分的其他特征。
应理解,上述特征也可以理解特性,属性。网络设备在配置随机接入优先级时,可能会按照特性(功能特性)配置,特性(功能特性)可以理解为终端设备的特性(功能特性),当具有特定特性(功能特性)的终端设备发起业务时,该业务具备该特定特性(功能特性)对应的属性,该属性也可理解为特征。例如网络设备根据能力受限这一特性配置了随机接入优先级#1,则有能力受限这一特性的终端设备发起的业务对应的特征为能力受限,也可以说有能力受限这一特性的终端设备发起的业务的属性为能力受限。因此业务的特征(或业务的属性)是与特性(或功能特性)相对应的,在终端设备角度,和网络设备角度的描述会有所不同。为了更好的理解本申请,本申请将业务的特征,特性,属性统一描述为业务的特征,在网络设备和终端设备理解上的区别可参考上述描述。
图2是本申请实施例提供的一种用于随机接入的流程示意图。图2所示的方法200包括:
步骤S210,终端设备确定第一特征对应的第一随机接入优先级和第二特征对应的第二随机接入优先级,该第一特征和第二特征为业务对应的特征。
可选地,第一特征或第二特征包括以下任一项:网络切片、小数据传输、覆盖增强、能力受限、MPS、或MCS。
应理解,该业务(service)可以是终端设备发起的业务、或终端设备请求的业务,例如网络切片业务、MPS业务(签约MPS的终端设备发起的业务)、MCS业务(签约MCS的终端设备发起的业务)、语音业务、或视频业务等,本申请对此不做限制。
示例地,终端设备发起的业务#1对应的第一特征为网络切片,第二特征为小数据传输,网络设备为网络切片业务配置的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#1(第一随机接入优先级),网络设备为小数据传输业务配置的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#2(第二随机接入优先级)。此时,业务#1对应的随机接入优先级包括随机接入优先级#1和随机接入优先级#2。
网络设备为不同特征配置随机接入优先级可以有以下两种方式:
方式1:
网络设备为不同特征分别配置随机接入优先级,例如网络设备为网络切片配置随机接入优先级#1,为小数据传输配置随机接入优先级#2,为覆盖增强配置随机接入优先级#3,为能力受限配置随机接入优先级#4,为MPS/MCS配置随机接入优先级#5,其中,每个随机接入优先级可以不同,或者部分随机接入优先级可以相同,例如随机接入优先级#2和随机接入优先级#4可以相同,本申请对不同特征的随机接入优先级是否相同,以及每个随机接入优先级适用的特征的数量不做限定。
应理解,如果随机接入优先级#1和随机接入优先级#2不同,则随机接入优先级#1的参数高优先级功率抬升步长和缩放因子BI中至少有一项不同于随机接入优先级#2的参数, 例如,随机接入优先级#1的高优先级功率抬升步长和随机接入优先级#2不同,或随机接入优先级#1的缩放因子BI和随机接入优先级#2不同,或随机接入优先级#1的高优先级功率抬升步长和缩放因子BI都与随机接入优先级#2不同。如果随机接入优先级#2和随机接入优先级#4相同,则随机接入优先级#2的高优先级功率抬升步长和缩放因子BI与随机接入优先级#4相同。
在该方式1中,终端设备可根据发起的业务的特征,以及网络设备配置的不同特征对应的随机接入优先级,确定业务对应的随机接入优先级。
方式2:
将空口的随机接入资源划分为至少两个随机接入资源部分,每个随机接入资源部分可称之为随机接入信道分区(还可称之为随机接入信道部分,随机接入信道区域,随机接入信道分部,随机接入资源分区,随机接入资源部分,随机接入资源区域,随机接入资源分部,本申请对此不做限制),不同随机接入信道分区对应不同的特征。
不同的随机接入信道分区可以理解为是将随机接入信道上的硬件和/或软件资源按照一定的策略划分成的不同逻辑分区,使用某随机接入信道分区进行随机接入的终端设备只能使用该随机接入信道分区被分配的资源范围内的硬/软件资源去发起随机接入。
例如,将随机接入资源划分为4个随机接入信道分区,包括随机接入信道分区#1,随机接入信道分区#2,随机接入信道分区#3,随机接入信道分区#4。其中随机接入信道分区#1对应的特征包括网络切片组#1,小数据传输#1,以及MPS#1。随机接入信道分区#2对应的特征包括网络切片组#2,小数据传输#2,以及MPS#2。随机接入信道分区#3对应的特征包括网络切片组#3和能力受限#3。随机接入信道分区#4对应的特征包括网络切片组#4,小数据传输#4,MPS#4,MCS#4,以及能力受限#4。
应理解,随机接入信道分区#1,随机接入信道分区#2,随机接入信道分区#3,随机接入信道分区#4对应的随机接入资源(包括硬/软件资源)是不同的。网络切片组中包括至少一个网络切片,且同一网络设备上部署的不同网络切片组中的网络切片不同。
可以按照业务产生的数据包的数量将小数据传输业务划分不同等级,例如,将小数据传输业务划分为小数据传输#1业务和小数据传输#2业务,其中小数据传输#1业务产生的数据包的数量小于第一阈值,小数据传输#2业务产生的数据包的数量小于第二阈值,第一阈值和第二阈值不同。
可以参考优先等级、传输延迟、可用性和可靠性、处理大量用户和设备的能力、或强安全性中的至少一项,将MPS业务划分不同MPS特征,例如,参考优先等级将MPS业务划分为MPS#1,MPS#2,MPS#3,MPS#4,则MPS#1,MPS#2,MPS#3,MPS#4在优先等级方面不同。再例如,参考传输延迟将MPS业务划分为MPS#1,MPS#2,MPS#3,MPS#4,则MPS#1,MPS#2,MPS#3,MPS#4在传输延迟方面不同。
可以参考能力受限的等级、收发天线的数量、或终端设备支持的最大带宽中的至少一项,将能力受限分为能力受限#1,能力受限#2,能力受限#3,能力受限#4。例如,参考收发天线的数量将能力受限分为能力受限#1,能力受限#2,能力受限#3,能力受限#4,则能力受限#1,能力受限#2,能力受限#3,能力受限#4对应的收发天线的数量不同。
后文出现的覆盖增强#1,覆盖增强#2,覆盖增强#3可以理解为,根据终端设备与网络设备的距离划分的不同覆盖增强特征,例如,覆盖增强#1,覆盖增强#2,覆盖增强#3对应 的终端设备与网络设备的距离不同。
还应理解,在划分特征时,也可以不将小数据传输,覆盖增强,能力受限,MPS或MCS等特征细分,或者只将其中的部分特征细分,无论是哪种划分方式,不同随机接入信道分区对应的特征是不同的。例如如果对小数据传输不做特征细分,则随机接入信道分区#1对应的特征包括小数据传输时,随机接入信道分区#2对应的特征不会包括小数据传输。再例如如果对小数据传输做特征细分,则随机接入信道分区#1对应的特征包括小数据传输#1时,随机接入信道分区#2对应的特征可以包括小数据传输#2。覆盖增强,能力受限,MPS或MCS等特征可以此类推。
网络设备为随机接入信道分区#1配置了随机接入优先级#1,为随机接入信道分区#2配置了随机接入优先级#2,为随机接入信道分区#3配置了随机接入优先级#3,为随机接入信道分区#4配置了随机接入优先级#4。
示例地,在该方式2中,如果终端设备发起的业务对应的第一特征为网络切片组#2,第二特征为能力受限#3,则可确定该业务对应的随机接入优先级包括随机接入优先级#2和随机接入优先级#3。
应理解,本申请实施例对随机接入资源划分的数量,以及划分后的每一个随机接入资源部分的名称,每一个随机接入资源部分对应的特征及特征数量不做限定。
步骤S220,所述终端设备参考该第一随机接入优先级和第二随机接入优先级的排序确定终端设备进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
排序可以理解为顺序,次序等,优先级也可以作为排序的一种体现形式,假设业务对应的随机接入优先级包括随机接入优先级#1和随机接入优先级#2,则终端设备选择随机接入优先级时,是选择随机接入优先级#1进行随机接入,还是选择随机接入优先级#2进行随机接入是由随机接入优先级#1和随机接入优先级#2的排序决定的。
示例地,若随机接入优先级#1的排序优先于随机接入优先级#2的排序,则终端设备将随机接入优先级#1确定为终端设备进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,后续终端设备使用随机接入优先级#1进行随机接入。若随机接入优先级#2的排序优先于随机接入优先级#1的排序,则终端设备将随机接入优先级#2确定为终端设备进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,后续终端设备使用随机接入优先级#2进行随机接入。
示例地,终端设备发起的业务对应3个特征,该3个特征包括网络切片、小数据传输和覆盖增强。其中网络切片对应的随机接入优先级#1,小数据传输对应的随机接入优先级#2,覆盖增强对应的随机接入优先级#3,且随机接入优先级#2的排序>随机接入优先级#3的排序>随机接入优先级#1的排序,“>”表示排序靠前(排序靠前,则终端设备优先选择),则终端设备将随机接入优先级#2确定为进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
下面介绍当网络设备配置至少两个特征的随机接入优先级的情况下,终端设备确定随机接入使用的随机接入优先级的不同方式。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种确定随机接入优先级的方法流程图。图3所示的方法300为网络设备向终端设备指示至少两个随机接入优先级的排序的方案,包括:
步骤S310,网络设备向终端设备发送至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级,对应的,终端设备接收该至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级。
可选地,至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级承载于广播消息中,例如系统消息块1 (session information block,SIB)消息。或者,该至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级可承载于其他的网络设备向终端设备发送消息中,本申请对此不做限制。
可选地,该至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级包括以下至少两项:
网络切片对应的随机接入优先级#1,小数据传输对应的随机接入优先级#2,覆盖增强对应的随机接入优先级#3,能力受限对应的随机接入优先级#4,MPS或MCS对应的随机接入优先级#5。
以网络切片特征举例,核心网网元向终端设备发送切片和切片组的对应关系(例如切片标识和切片组标识的对应关系),网络设备向终端设备广播切片组对应的随机接入优先级(例如切片组标识对应的随机接入优先级),从而终端设备可根据切片和切片组的对应关系,以及切片组对应的随机接入优先级确定特定切片的随机接入优先级。
示例地,核心网网元(例如AMF)通过NAS消息向终端设备发送切片和切片组标识之间的对应关系:
切片组#1={切片1,切片2};
切片组#2={切片4};
切片组#3={切片3,切片5}。
网络设备以切片组(可以是根据切片的种类将切片分成了切片组)为粒度广播随机接入优先级,即随机接入优先级与切片组的标识关联。
其他特征,例如,小数据传输,覆盖增强,能力受限,MPS或MCS对应的随机接入优先级网络设备也可通过以上类似方式广播。
可选地,网络设备以特征为粒度广播,广播消息中包括小数据传输的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,覆盖增强的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,能力受限的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,MPS的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,MCS的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级。
或者网络设备以更小的特征为粒度广播,对于小数据传输特征而言,如果小数据传输特征分为3个,小数据传输#1,小数据传输#2,以及小数据传输#3,则广播消息中包括小数据传输#1的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,小数据传输#2的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,小数据传输#3的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级。
对于覆盖增强特征而言,如果覆盖增强特征分为3个,覆盖增强#1,覆盖增强#2,以及覆盖增强#3,则广播消息中包括覆盖增强#1的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,覆盖增强#2的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,覆盖增强#3的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级。
对于能力受限特征而言,如果能力受限特征分为3个,能力受限#1,能力受限#2,以及能力受限#3,则广播消息中包括能力受限#1的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,能力受限#2的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,能力受限#3的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级。
对于MPS(MCS)特征而言,如果MPS(MCS)特征分为3个,MPS(MCS)#1,MPS(MCS)#2,以及MPS(MCS)#3,则广播消息中包括MPS(MCS)#1的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,MPS(MCS)#2的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级,MPS(MCS)#3的标识以及对应的随机接入优先级。
应理解,除了上述广播方式,网络设备还可通过其他方式广播不同特征对应的随机接入优先级,本申请对此不做限制。上述步骤S310是一种网络设备为不同特征配置随机接 入优先级的方法(以特征为粒度配置)。这可对应于上述步骤S210中的方式1。除此之外,还有另一种配置方式。这可对应于步骤S210中的方式2(以随机接入信道分区为粒度),具体如步骤S310’:
步骤S310’,网络设备向终端设备发送第一对应关系和第二对应关系,第一对应关系包括随机接入信道分区和特征的对应关系,第二对应关系包括随机接入信道分区和随机接入优先级的对应关系。对应的,终端设备接收该第一对应关系和第二对应关系。
对应于步骤S210中的方式2,空口的随机接入资源被划分为至少两个随机接入信道分区,不同随机接入信道分区对应不同的特征。如图4所示,随机接入资源被划分为3个随机接入信道分区,包括随机接入信道分区#1,随机接入信道分区#2,随机接入信道分区#3。其中随机接入信道分区#1对应的特征包括网络切片组#1,小数据传输#1,以及MPS#1。随机接入信道分区#2对应的特征包括网络切片组#2,小数据传输#2,以及MPS#2。随机接入信道分区#3对应的特征包括网络切片组#3和能力受限#3。
应理解,图4在划分随机接入信道分区时,将MPS划分到随机接入信道分区#1和#2对应的特征里。按照现有的信元设计,基于网络切片的随机接入优先级和基于MPS/MCS的随机接入优先级被配置于不同版本的信元中(例如MPS/MCS的随机接入优先级在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)R16版本的信元中配置,网络切片的随机接入优先级在3GPP R17版本的信元中配置),因此网络设备配置随机接入优先级时,对于网络切片和MPS/MCS的随机接入优先级无法在同一个版本信元里进行配置。也就是说,终端设备发起的包括MPS/MCS特征的业务可以从随机接入信道分区#1,随机接入信道分区#2,随机接入信道分区#3中的任意一个随机接入信道分区对应的随机接入资源进行随机接入。在此情况下,MPS/MCS特征可看作与随机接入信道分区同级别的特征,网络设备以随机接入信道分区为粒度配置随机接入优先级时,会单独为MPS/MCS特征配置随机接入优先级,具体可参见表7,表13和表15的示例。
本申请实施例还提供一种可能的实施方式,即如图4所示,在网络设备以随机接入信道分区为粒度配置随机接入优先级时,可以将网络切片、小数据传输、覆盖增强、能力受限、以及MPS/MCS等特征进行分组,分组后形成特征集合,每一个特征集合对应一个随机接入信道分区。或者也可以不对特征进行分组,即一个或多个特征对应一个随机接入信道分区,也就是说,一个随机接入信道分区也可以只对应一个特征,后文的部分表格示例中包括特征集合,在不对特征进行分组,即一个或多个特征直接对应一个随机接入信道分区时,后文的部分表格示例中可不包括特征集合,本申请对此不做限制。应理解,本申请中的特征集合也可称为特征组合,特征集合中可包括0,1,或者多个特征,本申请对此不做限制。当特征集合包括0个特征时,表示该特征集合对应的随机接入信道分区的随机接入资源可以是公共的随机接入资源,该随机接入资源可供任意业务随机接入。
示例地,第一对应关系中的特征以网络切片组为例,第一对应关系可如表1所示:
表1
信元
切片对应的随机接入分区
>切片组标识
>随机接入信道分区标识
表1中包括随机接入信道分区标识和网络切片组标识的对应关系,终端设备可根据网络切片组的标识确定特定网络切片对应的随机接入信道分区。
网络设备向终端设备发送的第二对应关系有以下两种可能的信元设置形式:
第一种信元结构:
示例地,包括第二对应关系的信元结构的第一层为特征,第二层为随机接入信道分区标识。该信元的通用定义可以如表2所示:
表2
信元
特定特征随机接入优先级
>随机接入信道分区标识
>随机接入优先级
>>高优先级功率抬升步长
>>缩放因子BI
在表2中,特定特征的随机接入优先级与随机接入信道分区标识关联,终端设备可根据第一对应关系确定特定特征对应的随机接入信道分区标识,结合表2中的随机接入信道分区标识与随机接入优先级的对应关系确定特定特征对应的随机接入优先级。
第二种信元结构:
示例地,包括第二对应关系的信元结构的第一层为随机接入信道分区标识,第二层为特征集合。
对应于第二种信元结构,可选地,方法300还包括:
步骤S311,网络设备向终端设备发送标识信息,该标识信息指示随机接入信道分区对应的随机接入优先级适用的特征,对应的,终端设备接收该标识信息。
可选地,在特征名称的同一层或下一层信元中新增标识信息,用于指示当前随机接入信道分区标识中的随机接入优先级适用于该特征集合中的哪些特征。
示例地,该标识信息可以是在特征名称的同一层或下一层信元中新增的1比特信息,例如标志位(flag),或指示(indicator),该1比特信息表示为1时,表明当前随机接入信道分区标识中的随机接入优先级适用于该特征名称对应的特征,或者该标识信息还可通过其他方式指示,本申请对此不做限制。
例如,随机接入信道分区#1对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#1,随机接入信道分区#1对应的特征集合包括网络切片组#1,小数据传输#1。其中与网络切片组#1(特征名称)同级别信元的标识信息置为true,与小数据传输#1(特征名称)同级别信元的标识信息置为false或者default。或者在网络切片组#1的同一层或下一层信元包括标识信息,在小数据传输#1的同一层或下一层信元不包括标识信息。则表示网络切片组#1对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#1,小数据传输#1对应的随机接入优先级不是随机接入优先级#1,换句话说随机接入优先级#1适用的特征为网络切片组#1,不适用的特征为小数据传输#1。
示例地,包括第二对应关系的信元结构的通用定义可如表3所示:
表3
信元
随机接入信道分区标识
>特征集合
>>特征名称
>>标识信息(Flag)
>随机接入优先级
>>高优先级功率抬升步长
>>缩放因子BI
在表3中,信元结构的第一层为随机接入信道分区标识,第二层为特征集合和随机接入优先级,第三层为特征名称和标识信息,即第一层的随机接入信道分区标识对应的随机接入优先级在第二层给出,第二层给出的随机接入优先级适用的特征在第三层标识信息体现,假设第三层中特定特征对应的标识信息置为true,或者特定特征的同一层或下一层包括标识信息,则该特定特征对应的随机接入优先级即为第二层给出的随机接入优先级。如果第三层中某个特征对应的标识信息置为false或者default,或者该特定特征的同一层或下一层不包括标识信息,则表示该特征不适用第二层给出的随机接入优先级。
应理解,上述步骤S310’,以及S311中网络设备以随机接入信道分区为粒度广播随机接入优先级的方案,相较于步骤S310中网络设备以特征为粒度配置随机接入优先级的方案而言,广播的信令开销小。
步骤S320,网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示第一随机接入优先级和/或第二随机接入优先级的排序,对应的,终端设备接收该第一指示信息。
示例地,网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示至少两个随机接入优先级的排序,其中包括第一随机接入优先级和/或第二随机接入优先级的排序。
或,网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示,在业务对应至少两个特征时,终端设备使用专用的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。
示例地,第一指示信息指示在业务(终端设备发起的某一个业务)对应至少两个特征时,终端设备使用专用的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。专用的随机接入优先级由网络设备设置,用于终端设备发起的业务对应至少两个特征的场景,该专用的随机接入优先级可以不同于网络设备为任意一个特征配置的随机接入优先级。例如,在终端设备随机接入前可以接收到网络设备的广播消息,该广播消息中包括该专用的随机接入优先级。网络设备可根据网络侧资源情况或者运营商策略预先配置多特征场景(一个业务对应至少两个特征的场景)下专用的随机接入优先级,应理解,网络设备可以结合终端设备的能力信息自适应修改专用的随机接入优先级,例如终端设备在网络设备驻留过,网络设备保存了终端设备的能力信息。
若第一指示信息指示了至少两个随机接入优先级的排序,其中包括第一随机接入优先级和/或第二随机接入优先级的排序,则第一指示信息的广播可通过以下方式:
方式#1
示例地,对应于以随机接入信道分区为粒度设置随机接入优先级的方案(对应上文提及的第一种信元结构),在上述表2的基础上增加第一指示信息的信元(排序),信元的 位置可以如表4所示,本申请对此不做限制。

示例地,对应于以随机接入信道分区为粒度设置随机接入优先级的方案(对应上文提及的第二种信元结构),在上述表3的基础上增加第一指示信息的信元(排序),信元的位置可以如表5所示,本申请对此不做限制。
表5
信元
随机接入信道分区标识
>特征集合
>>特征名称

>>高优先级功率抬升步长
>>缩放因子BI
排序
应理解,表4和表5中的排序这个信元可以赋值,可根据赋值的大小确定排序的前后,排序靠前的随机接入优先级在随机接入过程中优先使用,例如,第一业务对应的随机接入优先级包括随机接入优先级#1和随机接入优先级#2,随机接入优先级#1的排序为3,随机接入优先级#2的排序为2,则终端设备在随机接入过程中优先选择随机接入优先级#2,在上述选择的过程中,排序的取值越小,表示排序越靠前,终端设备在选择时越优先选择,当然也可以反之,排序的取值越大,表示排序越靠前,终端设备在选择时越优先选择,本申请对此不做限制。
表4中的排序是与第一级信元特定特征随机接入优先级关联,如果同一特征对应不同随机接入信道分区,则该不同的随机接入信道分区的随机接入优先级的排序是相同的。例如,网络切片组#1对应随机接入信道分区#1,网络切片组#2对应随机接入信道分区#2,但网络切片组#1和网络切片组#2都属于网络切片特征,因此随机接入信道分区#1和随机接入信道分区#2对应的随机接入优先级的排序是相同的。
表5中的排序与第一级信元随机接入信道分区标识关联,且对于该随机接入信道分区 中包括标识信息(或标识信息置为true)的特征生效。例如,随机接入信道分区#1对应的特征包括网络切片组#1,小数据传输#1,且网络切片组#1和小数据传输#1都包括标识信息(或网络切片组#1和小数据传输#1的标识信息均置为true),随机接入信道分区#1对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#1,且随机接入优先级#1的排序为3,即表示网络切片组#1和小数据传输#1对应的随机接入优先级都为随机接入优先级#1,且随机接入优先级#1的排序为3。表5示例的信元结构,可以在随机接入信道分区对应至少两个特征的情况下,相较于表4示例的信元结构(以特征为粒度配置),能够节省信令的开销。
应理解,对应方式#1,第一指示信息是在表2或表3所示的信元结构中新增加的信元,该信元与特征相关联。因此若某一个随机接入信道分区标识对应的信元结构中没有呈现排序,则可以默认该随机接入信道分区标识对应的随机接入优先级的排序最低(表5)。或者若某一个特征对应的信元结构中没有呈现排序,则可以默认该特征对应的随机接入优先级的排序最低(表4)。
方式#2
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表格指示不同特征对应的随机接入优先级的排序,对应于第二对应关系的第一种信元设置形式,如表6所示,可以指示不同特征对应的随机接入优先级的排序。
表6
  网络切片 MPS/MCS 小数据传输 能力受限
排序 P1 P2 P3 P4
表6中示出了部分特征对应的随机接入优先级的排序,本申请实施例的特征不限于此,其中,P1、P2、P3、P4可取不同的值,例如P1=3、P2=4、P3=2、P4=1,即,能力受限对应的随机接入优先级的排序最靠前,终端设备随机接入时优先选择能力受限对应的随机接入优先级。
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表格指示不同随机接入信道分区对应的随机接入优先级的排序,对应于第二对应关系的第二种信元设置形式,如表7所示,可以指示不同随机接入信道分区对应的随机接入优先级的排序。
表7
  RACH分区#1 RACH分区#2 RACH分区#3 MPS/MCS
排序 P1 P2 P3 P4
表7中示出了不同随机接入信道分区对应的随机接入优先级的排序,其中,P1、P2、P3、P4可取不同的值,例如P1=3、P2=4、P3=2、P4=1,即,如果终端设备发起的业务对应的特征分别属于随机接入信道分区#2和随机接入信道分区#3,则选择随机接入信道分区#3对应的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。
应理解,表7中将MPS/MCS特征看作与随机接入信道分区同级别的特征示例,在终端设备发起的包括MPS/MCS特征的业务可以从随机接入信道分区#1,随机接入信道分区#2,随机接入信道分区#3中的任意一个随机接入信道分区所对应的随机接入资源进行随机接入的情况下,网络设备以随机接入信道分区为粒度配置随机接入优先级时,会单独为MPS/MCS特征配置随机接入优先级,因此也会为MPS/MCS特征单独配置随机接入优先级的排序。
方式#3
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表格指示不同特征对应的随机接入优先级的参数(包括高优先级功率抬升步长和缩放因子BI)的排序,对应于第二对应关系的第一种信元设置形式,如表8所示,可以指示不同特征对应的随机接入优先级的参数的排序。
表8
Figure PCTCN2023070313-appb-000001
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表格指示不同特征对应的随机接入优先级的参数(包括高优先级功率抬升步长和缩放因子BI)的排序,对应于第二对应关系的第二种信元设置形式,如表9所示,可以指示不同随机接入信道分区对应的随机接入优先级的参数的排序。
表9
Figure PCTCN2023070313-appb-000002
应理解,表8和表9所示的不同随机接入优先级参数的排序是独立的,即终端设备选择随机接入优先级参数时,可以分别选择排序靠前的高优先级功率抬升步长,以及排序靠前的缩放因子BI,排序的取值越小,排序越靠前,终端设备越优先选择。例如,表9中的高优先级功率抬升步长中P3取值最小,缩放因子BI中Q1取值最小,则终端设备选择随机接入优先级参数时选择随机接入信道分区#3对应的高优先级功率抬升步长,以及随机接入信道分区#1对应的缩放因子BI。方式3中高优先级功率抬升步长和缩放因子BI可以分开选择,相较于方式2更灵活,方式2与方式3相比更为节省信令开销。
步骤S330,终端设备确定第一特征对应的随机接入优先级和第二特征对应的第二随机接入优先级,该第一特征和第二特征为业务对应的特征。
示例地,对应于上述步骤S310,终端设备通过网络设备发送的至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级,确定第一特征对应的第一随机接入优先级和第二特征对应的第二随机接入优先级,具体的确定过程可参考步骤S210中的方式1。
可选地,对应于上述步骤S310’,终端设备可参考第一对应关系和第二对应关系确定第一特征对应的第一随机接入优先级和第二特征对应的第二随机接入优先级。
示例地,终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括第一特征和第二特征,其中第一特征为网络切片#1,第二特征为小数据传输#2,参考第一对应关系确定网络切片#1对应的随机接入信道分区为随机接入信道分区#1,小数据传输#2对应的随机接入信道分区为随机接入信道分区#2,参考第二对应关系(第二对应关系的第一种信元结构)确定随机接入信道分区#1对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#1,随机接入信道分区#2对应的随机接入 优先级为随机接入优先级#2。则确定该业务对应的随机接入优先级包括随机接入优先级#1和随机接入优先级#2。
应理解,当第二对应关系为第二种信元结构时,终端设备需要结合标识信息确定第一特征对应的第一随机接入优先级和第二特征对应的第二随机接入优先级。即对应于上述步骤S310’以及S311,终端设备可参考第一对应关系,第二对应关系,以及标识信息确定第一特征对应的第一随机接入优先级和第二特征对应的第二随机接入优先级。
示例地,第一特征为网络切片#1,第二特征为小数据传输#2,参考第一对应关系确定网络切片#1对应的随机接入信道分区为随机接入信道分区#1,小数据传输#2对应的随机接入信道分区为随机接入信道分区#2,参考第二对应关系和标识信息确定随机接入信道分区#1对应的随机接入优先级#1适用的特征为网络切片#1,随机接入信道分区#2对应的随机接入优先级#2适用的特征为小数据传输#2。则确定第一业务对应的随机接入优先级包括随机接入优先级#1和随机接入优先级#2。
应理解,步骤S310是指示至少两个特征的随机接入优先级的一种方案,步骤S310’和步骤S311是指示至少两个特征的随机接入优先级的另一种并列方案。
可选地,步骤S310’和步骤S311中的信息可承载于同一广播消息。
或者,步骤S310’和步骤S311中的信息可分别,或同时承载于其他的网络设备向终端设备发送的消息中,本申请对此不做限制。
还应理解,上述步骤S310和步骤S320为网络设备下发至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级以及不同随机接入优先级的排序的一种方案,步骤S310’,步骤S311和S320为网络设备下发至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级以及不同随机接入优先级的排序的另一种方案。
可选地,步骤S310和步骤S320中的信息可承载于同一广播消息(或其他的网络设备向终端设备发送的消息)。
或者步骤S310’,步骤S311和S320中的信息可承载于同一广播消息(或其他的网络设备向终端设备发送的消息)。
步骤S340,终端设备参考第一指示信息确定终端设备进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
示例地,终端设备参考第一指示信息确定第一随机接入优先级和第二随机接入优先级的排序,将排序最高的随机接入优先级确定为后续进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
或者,示例地,终端设备发起的业务对应3个特征,包括网络切片组#1,小数据传输#2,MPS,网络切片组#1对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#1,小数据传输#2对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#2,MPS对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#3,假设第一指示信息指示随机接入优先级#2的排序>随机接入优先级#3的排序>随机接入优先级#1的排序,则终端设备将随机接入优先级#2确定为进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
应理解,当终端设备发起的业务对应更多特征时,终端设备参考第一指示信息确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级的方法与上述描述类似,在此不做赘述。
可选地,方法300还包括:
步骤S350,在终端设备使用随机接入优先级第一次随机接入失败的情况下,终端设备 确定再次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
可选地,终端设备可参考第一指示信息确定第二次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
示例地,假设第一指示信息指示随机接入优先级#2的排序>随机接入优先级#3的排序>随机接入优先级#1的排序,则终端设备将随机接入优先级#2确定为第一次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,在终端设备使用该随机接入优先级随机接入失败的情况下,终端设备将随机接入优先级#3确定为第二次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,若第二次随机接入失败,后续同样可参考第一指示信息选择随机接入优先级进行再次随机接入,直至随机接入成功。
应理解,终端设备在预定的尝试次数或者时间内没有成功接入网络,即为随机接入失败,尝试次数或者预定时间可预先配置。
在方法300中,网络设备通过在广播消息中新增第一指示信息,解决了网络设备在下发不同特征对应的随机接入优先级,且终端设备发起的业务对应至少两个特征的情况下,终端设备应该如何选择随机接入优先级来进行随机接入的问题。方法300不仅可以实现网络设备对终端设备行为的集中管理,也可减少终端设备实现的复杂度。
图5是本申请实施例提供的另一种确定随机接入优先级的方法流程交互图。图5所示的方法500为网络设备向终端设备简单指示(相较于方法300)从多个随机接入优先级中确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级的方案,包括:

以网络设备在广播消息中新增第二指示信息示例,该第二指示信息可通过以下方式广播:
方式#1
对应于以随机接入信道分区为粒度设置随机接入优先级的方案,且对应于第二对应关系的第一种信元设置形式,第二指示信息在信元中的位置可如表10所示:

第二指示信息
假设表10中第二指示信息对应的特征为网络切片,且第二指示信息的取值为true(或网络切片对应的信元中包括第二指示信息,或第二指示信息为1比特的信息,该1比特信息表示为1)时,则终端设备选择网络切片(第一特征)对应的随机接入优先级,即在终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括网络切片和小数据传输时,使用网络切片对应的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。
应理解,若某一个特征的信元结构中不包括第二指示信息时,在终端设备发起的业务对应两个以上特征的情况下,不选择该特征对应的随机接入优先级。或者假设第二指示信息指示的第一特征,不属于终端设备发起的业务对应的特征时,终端设备不使用该第一特征对应的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。例如第二指示信息指示终端设备使用小数据传输对应的随机接入优先级,但是终端设备发起的业务对应的特征不包括小数据传输,此时终端设备不选择小数据传输对应的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。
可选地,网络设备在广播消息(例如SIB1)中新增第二指示信息,对应于以随机接入信道分区为粒度设置随机接入优先级的方案,且对应于第二对应关系的第二种信元设置形式,第二指示信息在信元中的位置可如表11所示:

假设表11中第二指示信息对应的随机接入信道分区为随机接入信道分区#1,且第二指示信息的取值为true时,则终端设备选择随机接入信道分区#1(第一特征为随机接入信道分区#1中标识信息为true的特征,或第一特征为随机接入信道分区#1中包括标识信息的特征)对应的随机接入优先级,即在终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括网络切片(对应随机接入信道分区#1,网络切片的标识信息置为true,或网络切片包括标识信息)和小数据传输(对应随机接入信道分区#2)时,使用随机接入信道分区#1对应的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。
方式#2
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表示第二指示信息的表格,对应于第二对应关系的第一种信元设置形式,表示第二指示信息的表格例如表12所示:
表12
  网络切片 MPS/MCS 小数据传输 能力受限
第二指示信息 - - true -
如表12所示,当终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括小数据传输时,可以选择小数据传输对应的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。“-”表示false或者default,后文表中出现的“-”同样理解。
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表示第二指示信息的表格,对应于第二对应关系的第二种信元设置形式,表示第二指示信息的表格例如表13所示:
表13
  RACH分区#1 RACH分区#2 RACH分区#3 MPS/MCS
第二指示信息 - true - -
如表13所示,当终端设备发起的业务对应的其中一个特征属于随机接入信道分区#2时,终端设备选择随机接入信道分区#2对应的随机接入优先级进行随机接入。
应理解,表13中将MPS/MCS特征看作与随机接入信道分区同级别的特征示例,在终端设备发起的包括MPS/MCS特征的业务可以从随机接入信道分区#1,随机接入信道分区#2,随机接入信道分区#3中的任意一个随机接入信道分区对应的随机接入资源进行随机接入的情况下,网络设备以随机接入信道分区为粒度配置随机接入优先级时,会单独为MPS/MCS特征配置随机接入优先级,因此在配置第二指示信息时将MPS/MCS单独看待。
方式#3
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表示第二指示信息的表格,对应于第二对应关系的第一种信元设置形式,表示第二指示信息的表格例如表14所示:

如表14所示,当终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括MPS和网络切片时,终端设备选择MPS对应的高优先级功率抬升步长,以及网络切片对应的缩放因子BI进行随机接入。当终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括MPS和小数据传输时,终端设备选择MPS对应的高优先级功率抬升步长,且只参考第二指示信息无法选择缩放因子BI。
在公共参数(例如,BWP-UplinkCommon,本申请对此不做限制)中新增表示第二指示信息的表格,对应于第二对应关系的第二种信元设置形式,表示第二指示信息的表格例如表15所示:
表15

如表15所示,当终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括网络切片#1和小数据传输#2,网络切片#1属于随机接入信道分区#1,小数据传输#2属于随机接入信道分区#2时,终端设备选择随机接入信道分区#2对应的高优先级功率抬升步长,以及随机接入信道分区#1对应的缩放因子BI进行随机接入。
应理解,步骤S510是指示至少两个特征的随机接入优先级的一种方案,步骤S510’和步骤S511是指示至少两个特征的随机接入优先级的另一种并列方案。

或者步骤S510’,步骤S511和S520中的信息可承载于同一广播消息(或其他的网络设备向终端设备发送的消息)。
步骤S530,同步骤S330,参见S330的描述,在此不再赘述。
步骤S540,终端设备参考第二指示信息确定终端设备进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
示例地,终端设备参考第二指示信息确定使用第一特征对应的随机接入优先级,即将第一特征对应的随机接入优先级确定为终端设备进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
或者,示例地,终端设备发起的业务对应3个特征,包括网络切片组#1,小数据传输#2,MPS,网络切片组#1对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#1,小数据传输#2对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#2,MPS对应的随机接入优先级为随机接入优先级#3,假设第二指示信息指示终端设备使用网络切片对应的随机接入优先级,则终端设备将随机接入优先级#1确定为进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
可选地,终端设备参考第二指示信息,以及第一信息确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,第一信息包括以下至少一项:业务的时延需求信息或所述终端设备的能力信息。
示例地,当终端设备参考第二指示信息确定不了进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级时,还需结合第一信息确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,假设第二指示信息指示终端设备使用小数据传输对应的随机接入优先级,但是终端设备发起的业务对应的特征不包括小数据传输,此时需结合第一信息确定。具体地终端设备参考第一信息如何确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级可参见方法600的步骤S630。
可选地,方法500还包括:
步骤S550,在终端设备使用随机接入优先级第一次随机接入失败的情况下,终端设备确定再次进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
示例地,假设第二指示信息指示终端设备使用小数据传输对应的随机接入优先级,在在终端设备使用该随机接入优先级在预定的尝试次数或者时间内随机接入失败的情况下,终端设备参考第一信息确定第二次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,若第二次随机接入失败,后续同样可参考第一信息选择随机接入优先级进行再次随机接入,直至随机接入成功。
在方法500中,终端设备能够基于网络设备下发的简单的指示信息,在终端设备发起的业务对应至少两个特征的情况下选择出用于随机接入的随机接入优先级。该方法是一种折中方案,相较于方法300而言,节省网络设备的广播信令开销,并且终端设备的实现具备一定程度的灵活性。
图6是本申请实施例提供的又一种确定随机接入优先级的方法流程交互图。图6所示的方法600为终端设备不依赖于网络设备的指示可自行从至少两个随机接入优先级中确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级的方案,包括:
步骤S610,同步骤S310和S510,参见S310的描述,在此不再赘述。
步骤S610’,同步骤S310’和S510’,参见S310’的描述,在此不再赘述。

应理解,步骤S610是指示至少两个特征的随机接入优先级的一种方案,步骤S610’和步骤S611是指示至少两个特征的随机接入优先级的另一种并列方案。
可选地,步骤S610’和步骤S611中的信息可承载于同一广播消息。

步骤S630,终端设备参考第一信息确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,第一信息包括以下至少一项:业务的时延需求信息或所述终端设备的能力信息。
可选地,终端设备参考第一信息确定随机接入优先级的排序,进而将排序最靠前的随机接入优先级确定为进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
应理解,终端设备参考第一信息确定随机接入优先级的排序,可以是终端设备参考第一信息确定随机接入优先级的排序,也可以是终端设备参考第一信息和其他信息(可以是第一指示信息、第二指示信息、或除第一指示信息和第二指示信息之外的信息)确定随机接入优先级的排序。上文中涉及的终端设备参考第一指示信息或第二指示信息确定随机接入优先级的排序也是同样理解,本申请对此不做限制。
示例地,终端设备发起的业务对应的特征包括网络切片#2,关键任务业务,和能力受限#3,终端设备根据广播消息确定网络切片#2,关键任务业务,和能力受限#3对应的随机接入优先级,其中每个特征对应的随机接入优先级参数的取值如表16所示。
表16
Figure PCTCN2023070313-appb-000006
示例地,终端设备考虑发起的业务的时延需求信息,优先满足低时延的业务需求,即随机接入优先级参数缩放因子BI优先选择较小的数值,在表16中,缩放因子BI优先选择0,其次依次为0.25和0.75,也就是说按照时延需求信息随机接入优先级的排序从前往后依次是,网络切片#2对应的随机接入优先级,MCS对应的随机接入优先级,能力受限#3对应的随机接入优先级。
当考虑终端设备的能力信息时,假设终端设备的最大上行发射功率与初始上行发射功 率之间的差值为10dB,高优先级功率抬升步长的取值应小于10dB的一半(即5dB),如表16所示,虽然网络切片#2对低时延要求最高,但其要求的高优先级功率抬升步长6dB大于5dB,因此结合时延需求信息和终端设备的能力信息选择MCS对应的随机接入优先级来进行随机接入。
应理解,上述示例的确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级的方式仅为举例,终端设备还可以参考业务对应的至少两个特征的随机接入优先级参数的平均取值确定后续进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,或者终端设备还可以参考其他的方式确定后续进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,本申请对此不做限制。
上述终端设备参考第一信息从随机接入优先级中确定进行随机接入使用的随机接入优先级的规则既可以由终端设备自行实现(自行实现可以是终端设备的一种选择策略,由终端厂家自行决定),也可以是终端设备的预配置信息(所有终端设备,即来自不同厂家的终端设备参考标准协议预配置同样的选择策略)。
可选地,方法600还包括:
步骤S640,在终端设备使用随机接入优先级第一次随机接入失败的情况下,终端设备确定再次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级。
示例地,假设终端设备使用参考第一信息确定的随机接入优先级在预定的尝试次数或者时间内随机接入失败的情况下,终端设备可参考第一信息确定第二次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级,确定过程与终端设备参考第一信息确定第一次随机接入使用的随机接入优先级的过程类似,在此不做赘述。若第二次随机接入失败,后续同样可参考第一信息选择随机接入优先级进行再次随机接入,直至随机接入成功。
在方法600中,终端设备能够基于网络设备下发的至少两个特征对应的随机接入优先级,且在终端设备发起的业务对应至少两个特征的情况下,参考预定规则选择出用于随机接入的随机接入优先级。该方法600相较于方法300和500而言,节省信令开销,且在终端设备实现上更具灵活性。
