重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求于2022年1月19日提交的申请号为202210061200.2,名称为“重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其通过引用方式全部并入本文。
技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法及装置。
背景技术
在第五代新无线系统/第四代无线系统5G/4G(5th generation/4th generation)无线网络中,基站gNB(gNodeB)和终端UE(User Equipment)间通过空口协议进行通信。基站和核心网接收过来的数据包首先经过分组数据汇聚协议层PDCP(Packet Data Convegence Protocol),在进行IP(Internet Protocol)包头压缩和加密后,传输至无线链路控制层RLC(Radio Link Control),按照媒体接入控制层MAC(Media Access Control)的传输需求进行分段和串接后,再传输至MAC层,最终从空中接口形成无线信号发送。其中,RLC协议遵循5G标准ts38.322或4G标准ts36.322,提供直通模式TM(Transparent Mode)、非确认模式UM(Unacknowledge Mode)、确认模式AM(Acknowledge Mode)等传输服务模式。RLC AM模式是面向连接的服务模式,可实现自动重传请求ARQ(Automatic Repeat reQuest)纠错、重复包检测、分段/重组和RLC SDU丢弃处理等功能,和MAC层提供的混合自动重传请求HARQ(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest)协同实现了一种更可靠的传输服务。
现有技术中,无线链路控制层在确认模式下的重传超限处理方法和轮询Polling处理方法分别为:1)任何报文PDU(Protocol Data Unit)超过最大重发次数一定要断开RLC甚至对应终端所有空口协议。当只有个别PDU超最大重发次数,但其邻近的PDU已正确接收时,可以判断无线链路通信质量是 较好的,而现有标准规范做法是向无线资源控制层RRC(Radio Resource Control)报告,由RRC断开并重建对应终端所有空口协议连接,使得该终端UM、AM模式上的所有业务流都受到严重影响;2)当轮询定时器t-PollRetransmit超期后需发轮询Polling时,若基站处于发送缓冲区和重发缓冲区无数据可发,或因发送窗口无空位等原因无法发送新报文等条件下(简称“双无条件”),现有标准规范做法是选择已发送的报文集合中报文序号最大的PDU,然而该报文可能位于收方highest_status之上,而不能及时触发status报告,导致未收到肯定确认的报文延迟重发。
发明内容
本申请提供一种重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法及装置,用以解决当个别报文超最大重发次数就立即断开RLC甚至对应终端所有空口协议影响过大,以及在双无条件下,当t-PollRetransmit超期时,挑选最大报文序号SN(Sequence Number)的报文进行重发以携带Polling时,不能及时触发status报告,导致未收到肯定确认的报文延迟重发的问题,有效提高终端通信速率和可靠性,以及尽快触发接收端发送status报文避免带来副作用。

若所述发送端发送链路可用状态定时器处于超期状态,或重传所述短报文的次数达到预设阀值,则上报无线资源控制层进行空口协议重连。
在一个实施例中,当轮询定时器超期且满足双无条件时,在未收到所述接收端肯定确认的报文集合中将报文序号最小的第二报文发送至所述接收端,包括:
若未收到所述接收端肯定确认的报文集合中的全部报文的重传次数均已达到预设阀值,则选择报文序号最小的第二报文发送至所述接收端,否则将报文序号最小且重传次数未达到预设阀值的第二报文发送至所述接收端。
本申请还提供一种重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法,应用于接收端,包括:
向发送端发送状态报文,所述状态报文包括对未接收的第一报文的否定确认,以及其他报文的肯定确认;

接收所述接收端发送的状态报文,并启动所述发送端发送链路可用状态定时器;其中,所述状态报文包括对所述第一报文的否定确认,以及对其他报文的肯定确认。

在本申请中,基站和终端都是既可以做发送端又可以做接收端。不失一般性,在下面的实施例中,以基站为发送端,终端为接收端进行说明。
下面对本申请进行具体说明。
如图1所示,本申请提供的应用于发送端的重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法,包括:
步骤101:当重传接收端未接收的第一报文次数达到预设阀值时,将所述第一报文重组成短报文发送至所述接收端;其中,所述第一报文为RLC/AM数据报文,短报文为数据字段长度为0的特殊RLC/AM数据报文,且所述短报文序号为所述第一报文序号;
在本步骤中,基站在重传终端未接收的第一报文前,先接收终端发送的状态报文,该状态报文包括终端未接收完全的SN报文或其分段的否定应答位NACK信息和其他报文显式或隐含的肯定应答位ACK信息,且短报文序号与第一报文序号相同。基站接收终端发送的状态报文后,发现sn-1、sn+1、……、sn+i等报文的ACK,启动该终端发送链路可用状态定时器TxLinkTimer(该定时器为本申请新设,每当状态报文中显式或隐含地含有新的被确认的SN时需要重新启动该定时器),该定时器将在预定义时间 TxLinkLive后失效;发现序号为sn的报文或其分段需要重发,将其重传次数+1后,又发现重传已超过最大次数而定时器TxLinkTimer有效,则构造短报文发送至终端。具体的,如图2所示,当SN已超过最大重传次数maxRetxThreshold时,如果定时器TxLinkTimer处于有效状态,则不按现有ts38.322做法(向RRC报告、启动RRC重连接),而是将SN的PDU数据长度置为0(即data部分为空)形成短报文,然后发向终端;如果TxLinkTimer处于超期状态下,则仍按现有ts38.322做法处理(向RRC报告、启动RRC重连接)。其中,短报文的PDU格式如图5和图6所示。
步骤102:当轮询定时器超期且满足双无条件时,在未收到所述接收端肯定确认的报文集合中将报文序号最小的第二报文发送至所述接收端;其中,所述双无条件为发送缓冲区和重发缓冲区当前时刻无数据可发送,以及因发送窗口无空位无法发新报文。
在本步骤中,如图3所示,基站在步骤2至步骤3的处理过程中,当满足标准ts38.322之5.3.3.2节的条件时,在当前发送的AM PDU中设置Polling标记位,当前的PDU的SN存为SNp,此时启动定时器t-PollRetransmit。如果t-PollRetransmit超期且满足双无条件,在还未收到肯定确认的报文中优先选择SN最小的且未达最大重发次数的报文进行重发,并携带Polling位,如图7所示,具体处理过程为:经过一定时间,定时器t-PollRetransmit超期(说明还没有收到包含SNp之ACK的status报文),并且满足双无条件,发送端AM实体从当前发送窗口中优先选择还未收到肯定确认的报文序号最小的且未达最大重发次数的SN报文(如果所有未收到确认的报文都已达到最大重发次数,则选择其中SN最小的报文);在选出需要重发的SN报文后,同时在报文中插入Polling标记位,由RLC AM实体将其发送出去;其中,若在t-PollRetransmit定时器超期之前,收到包含对SNp的status报文,则停止和重置t-PollRetransmit定时器。需要说明的是,按照现有协议标准给出的方案,是找一个已发给终端最大SN的PDU进行重传并设置Polling,或者是随机找一个未收到肯定确认的SN所对应的PDU进行重传并设置Polling。其中,若用最大的SN之PDU,则在接收端该SN可能不满足SN<RX_Highest_Status或SN>=RX_Next+AM_Window_Size,从而不能及时触发status报告;若用最小的SN之PDU,则可能已率先到达最大重发次数,再次重发就容易触 发链路故障事件,引起rlc连接复位。
本申请提供的重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法,当重传接收端未接收的第一报文次数达到预设阀值时,将所述第一报文重组成短报文发送至所述接收端;其中,所述第一报文为RLC/AM数据报文,短报文为数据字段长度为0的特殊RLC/AM数据报文,且所述短报文序号为所述第一报文序号;当轮询定时器超期且满足双无条件时,在未收到所述接收端肯定确认的报文集合中将报文序号最小的第二报文发送至所述接收端;其中,所述双无条件为发送缓冲区和重发缓冲区当前时刻无数据可发送,以及因发送窗口无空位无法发新报文。由此可见,本申请一方面通过将重发超限的报文重组成短报文发送至接收端的方法,可以快速推动发送和接收窗口向前滑动,避免过早上报RRC进行空口协议重连;另一方面采用更合理的选择某些报文序号对应的报文进行重发的方方,可以尽快触发接收端发送status报文避免带来副作用。通过上述方法,使得RLC的AM模式在个别报文重传超限时可以避免连接重建、在双无条件下减少协议停顿时间,进而达到增强系统的性能的目的。本申请可以与现有第五代新无线系统5G NR(5th generation New Radio)标准保持兼容,配合PDCP、RRC等层协议,可以有效的提高用户服务质量和增强系统性能。
基于上述实施例的内容,在本实施例中,在所述重传接收端未接收的第一报文前,还包括:
接收所述接收端发送的状态报文,并启动所述发送端发送链路可用状态定时器;其中,所述状态报文包括对所述第一报文的否定确认,以及其他报文的肯定确认。
在本实施例中,当状态报文中显式或隐含地含有以前未被确认的序号时,发送端重新启动发送链路可用状态定时器。
基于上述实施例的内容,在本实施例中,
所述当重传接收端未接收的第一报文次数达到预设阀值时,将所述第一报文重组成短报文发送至所述接收端,包括:
当重传接收端未接收的第一报文次数达到预设阀值时,若所述发送端发送链路可用状态定时器处于有效状态,则将所述第一报文重组成短报文发送至所述接收端;
若所述发送端发送链路可用状态定时器处于超期状态,或重传所述短报文的次数达到预设阀值,则上报无线资源控制层进行空口协议重连。
在本实施例中,若在预定时间内,未收到接收端发来的包括对所述短报文肯定确认的状态报文,则重发短报文。
基于上述实施例的内容,在本实施例中,当轮询定时器超期且满足双无条件时,在未收到所述接收端肯定确认的报文集合中将报文序号最小的第二报文发送至所述接收端,包括:
若未收到所述接收端肯定确认的报文集合中的全部报文的重传次数均已达到预设阀值,则选择报文序号最小的第二报文发送至所述接收端,否则将报文序号最小且重传次数未达到预设阀值的第二报文发送至所述接收端。
下面通过具体实施例进行说明:
第一实施例:
在本实施例中,如图2所示,当个别报文超最大重发次数时,采用发送包含该报文序号SN之短报文的方法,快速推动发送和接收窗口向前滑动,避免过早上报RRC进行空口协议重连。
在本实施例中,所述个别报文超最大重发次数,是指发送端在一个预先定义的时间内有其他报文发送成功(已收到确认应答),这些报文没有超最大重发次数;所述短报文是一个RLC AM模式的PDU,它的数据长度置为0,它的序号SN为超过最大重发次数的那个PDU的序号;所述推动发送窗口向前滑动,是指发送端发送窗口的下沿TX_Next_Ack向上移动;所述推动接收窗口向前滑动,是指更新RX_Next状态变量,同时根据当前短报文的SN序号,按需更新RX_Highest_Status,RX_Next_Highest和RX_Next_Status_Trigger等状态变量;所述避免过早上报RRC进行空口协议重连,是指不在达到最大重发次数时就向RRC上报这一事件从而触发空口协议重连,而是继续重发短报文达到预先定义的后续次数时才上报RRC进行重连操作。
在本实施例中,如图7所示,当轮询定时器t-PollRetransmit超期需发Polling时,若发送端处于发送缓冲区和重发缓冲区无数据可发,以及因发送窗口无空位等原因无法发新报文等条件(简称“双无条件”),采用合理地选择某些SN的报文进行重发的方法,以尽快触发接收端发送status报文且避免带来副作用。其中,所述合理地选择某些SN的报文进行重发的方法,是 指采用在还未收到肯定确认的报文中优先选择SN最小的且未达最大重发次数的报文进行重发(如果所有未收到确认的报文都已达到最大重发次数,则选择其中SN最小的报文),并携带Polling位;所述尽快触发接收端发送status报文,是指较小SN的报文到达接收端后,SN满足标准ts38.322所规定的SN<RX_Highest_Status或SN>=RX_Next+AM_Window_Size的可能性更大,从而实现statu报文的触发;所述避免带来副作用,是指所重发的报文未达最大重发次数,从而避免引起RRC进行空口协议重连等相关处理。
由此可见,本申请公开了无线链路控制协议RLC在确认模式AM下减少连接重建以及轮询触发的重传报文方法,涉及5G、4G等无线通信网,能够解决某些情况下不必要的连接重建或协议停顿时间较长等问题。本申请包括:当只有个别报文超最大重发次数,采用发送包含该报文序号SN之短报文的方法,促进发送和接收窗口快速滑动,避免过早上报RRC进行空口协议重连;当轮询定时器超期需发轮询时,若发送缓冲区和重发缓冲区无数据可发,以及因发送窗口无空位等原因无法发新报文,采用在还未收到肯定确认的报文中优先选择SN最小的且未达最大重发次数的报文进行重传,并携带Polling位。本申请适用于5G、4G等基站和终端间数据传输,能够有效增强无线链路控制层RLC在确认模式AM下的通信性能。
第二实施例:
在本实施例中,如图3所示,在RLC AM模式下,基站gNB发送端根据业务特性将PDCP层的数据包下发到RLC层的AM实体,形成RLC AM实体的待发数据。gNB发送端MAC层按需从RLC层AM等实体获取待发数据,将一个或多个RLC PDU组装成一个MAC PDU。其中,由RLC AM实体待发数据形成的RLC AM PDU包含SN、P、SI、SO和data等字段。gNB发送端物理层将MAC PDU从空中接口发送至UE接收端。UE接收端物理层收到从空中接口发送来的报文,解码成功之后上传到MAC层,MAC对收到的报文进行解包处理,获得AM PDU报文并上传到RLC的AM实体。假设在某段时间内完全接收的各AM PDU报文包含的SN号为sn-1、sn+1、……、sn+i,sn+i位于接收窗口内,但SN报文并未接受完全。由此,RLC AM接收端构造相应的状态报文并发给基站侧的RLC AM发送端,状态报文包含SN报文或其分段的NACK信息和其他报文显式或隐含的ACK信息。gNB收到状态 报文,发现sn-1、sn+1、……、sn+i等报文的ACK,启动该终端发送链路可用状态定时器TxLinkTimer,该定时器将在预定义时间TxLinkLive后失效;发现序号为sn的报文或其分段需要重发,将其重传次数+1后,又发现重传已超过最大次数而定时器TxLinkTimer有效,则构造短报文发送到接收方。
如图8所示,本申请提供的应用于接收端的重发超限及双无条件下RLC确认模式增强方法,包括:
步骤201:向发送端发送状态报文,所述状态报文包括对未接收的第一报文的否定确认,以及其他报文的肯定确认;
在本步骤中,UE接收端物理层收到从空中接口发送来的报文,解码成功之后上传到MAC层,MAC对收到的报文进行解包处理,获得AM PDU报文并上传到RLC的AM实体。假设在某段时间内完全接收的各AM PDU报文包含的SN号为sn-1、sn+1、……、sn+i,sn+i位于接收窗口内,但SN报文并未接受完全。由此,RLC AM接收端构造相应的状态报文并发给基站侧的RLC AM发送端,状态报文包含sn报文或其分段的NACK信息和其他报文显式或隐含的ACK信息。
步骤202:接收所述发送端发送的短报文,并根据所述短报文更新接收窗口状态变量以及向所述发送端反馈状态报告;
在本步骤中,如图2所示,UE收方收到基站侧发送的短报文,解析完相应的报文头部后,发现数据长度部分为0,则认为是短报文,根据解析报文头部信息得到的SN号等其他信息,将其缓存的原有sn对应分段(如果有的话)清空,然后更新接收窗口相关状态变量、按需触发status报告。由于data部分为空,RLC AM实体收方并不向上层提交任何数据报文。相应的,基站发方等待含有SN之ACK的status报告,若未按时收到则继续重发该短报文,如果SN的总重发次数超过最大次数maxRetxThreshold+后续次数Δ(Δ为某个预先定义的正整数),则上报RRC进行重连操作。在同样的信道误码率情况下,短报文发送正确概率得到极大提高,能够快速推动发送和接收窗口向前滑动。因此,本申请既比单纯增大原始报文重发次数的方法更容易推动窗口滑动,也比过早上报RRC进行重连的方法合理。收发双方的其余行为,仍与现有标准ts38.322兼容,并使性能得到提高。
步骤203:接收所述发送端发送的携带Polling位的第二报文,并根据所 述第二报文触发向所述发送端发送状态报文操作。
在本步骤中,如图7所示,终端接收基站发送的携带Polling位的报文,并根据报文触发正常的向基站发送状态报文的流程。
由此可见,本申请当只有个别报文超最大重发次数,采用发送包含该报文序号SN之短报文的方法,促进发送和接收窗口快速滑动,避免过早上报RRC进行空口协议重连;当轮询定时器超期需发轮询时,若发送缓冲区和重发缓冲区无数据可发,以及因发送窗口无空位等原因无法发新报文,采用在还未收到肯定确认的报文中优先选择SN最小的且未达最大重发次数的报文进行重传,并携带Polling位。本申请适用于5G、4G等基站和终端间的数据传输,能够有效增强无线链路控制层RLC在确认模式AM下的通信性能。
基于上述实施例的内容,在本实施例中,所述短报文为数据字段长度为0的特殊RLC/AM数据报文,且所述短报文序号为所述第一报文序号。
基于上述实施例的内容,在本实施例中,所述第二报文为所述发送端在未收到肯定确认的报文集合中挑选的报文序号最小的报文。
此外,如图9所示,为本申请应用于基站或终端的装置结构示意图,该装置包括:
