图1是本公开实施例提供的应用场景的示意图。如图1所示，本实施例提供的交互方法涉及UE、多个gNB-DU以及gNB-CU，多个gNB-DU例如为gNB-DU1、gNB-DU2以及gNB-DU3。UE接入各个gNB-DU，且CU可向接入的各个gNB-DU发送消息，该消息用于指示各个gNB-DU向gNB-CU并行发送消息或串行发送消息。并行发送消息指的是，多个gNB-DU在相同的时间段内均向gNB-CU发送消息。串行发送消息指的是，在UE接入的多个gNB-DU中的一个gNB-DU与gNB-CU完成信息交互后，UE接入的另一个gNB-DU与gNB-CU再进行信息交互。若多个gNB-DU并行向gNB-CU发送消息，则gNB-CU也会并行向多个gNB-DU发送消息。本公开中涉及的多个DU与CU的交互场景包括UE的初始接入、gNB-DU的间移动以及gNB-DU的内切换。UE的初始接入指的是UE接入多个gNB-DU的场景。gNB-DU的间移动指的是，UE从接入的多个gNB-DU切换至接入其他的多个gNB-DU。gNB-DU的内切换指的是：UE从一个小区移动至另一个小区，UE从接入UE移动前的小区的gNB-DU切换为接入UE移动后的gNB-DU；或者，gNB-DU的内切换指的是，UE在小区的接入的gNB-DU切换至该小区的另一个gNB-DU。
UE的初始接入，以及gNB-DU的间移动所涉及的流程较多，以下对两个交互场景的流程进行说明。
参照图2、UE的初始接入的流程如下：
1、UE向DU(以下将gNB-DU简称为DU)发送RRC建立请求；
2、DU向CU(以下将gNB-CU简称为CU)传输初始的上行无线资源控制信息；
3、CU向DU传输下行无线资源控制信息；
4、DU与UE的RRC Setup(无线资源控制建立)；
5、UE向DU发送无线资源控制建立完成的信息；
6、DU向CU传输上行无线资源控制消息；
7、CU向AMF传输初始的UE的消息；
8、AMF向CU发送初始的上下文建立请求；
9、CU向DU发送UE的上下文建立请求；
10、DU向UE发送安全模式命令；
11、DU向CU发送UE的上下文建立已响应；
12、UE向DU发送安全模式完成；
13、DU向CU传输上行无线资源控制消息；
14、CU向DU传输下行无线资源控制消息；
15、DU向UE发送RRC重配置的请求；
16、UE向DU发送RRC重配置完成的信息；
17、DU向CU传输上行无线资源控制消息；
18、CU向AMF发送初始的上下文建立响应。
参照图3，gNB-DU的间移动的流程如下：
在UE接入Source gNB-DU(以下简称源DU)后，CU向UE、以及UE接入的源DU发送下行用户数据，UE向源DU向以及CU发送下行用户数据。
1、UE向源DU发送测量报告；
2、源DU向CU传输上行无线资源控制消息；
2a、CU向源DU发送UE的上下文修改请求；
2b、源DU向CU发送UE的上下文修改响应；
3、CU向UE待接入的Target gNB-DU(以下简称目标DU)发送UE的上下文修改请求；
4、目标DU向CU发送UE的上下文修改响应；
5、CU向源DU发送UE的上下文修改请求，上下文修改请求即为RRC重配置；
6、源DU向UE发送RRC重配置的请求；
7、源DU以下行数据传输状态，向CU发送UE的上下文建立响应；
8、UE与目标DU的随机接入流程，在此过程中目标DU以下行数据传输状态向CU传输消息；
9、UE以下行数据传输状态向目标DU发送RRC重配置完成的消息；
10、目标DU向CU传输RRC重配置完成的消息；
11、CU向源DU发送UE的上下文释放命令；
12、源DU向CU发送UE的上下文释放完成的消息。
需要说明的是，图2以UE接入的一个DU与UE、CU进行交互进行举例，UE接入的其他DU与UE、CU进行交互的流程与图2所示的流程相同。图3以UE接入的一个源DU以及一个待接入的目标DU为例进行说明，UE与接入的其他源DU之间的交互，以及UE切换至其他目标DU所涉及的交互，与图3所示的流程一致。
本公开提供一种交互方法。
参照图4，图4为本公开实施例所提供的交互方法的流程示意图，应用于集中单元实体，该方法包括：
步骤S101，接收用户设备UE接入的多个第一分布单元实体DU并行发送的第一信息。
在本实施例中，集中单元实体指的是CU的实体设备，分布单元实体则指的是DU的实体设备。
UE会选择多个DU接入，UE接入的DU定义为第一DU。UE与多个DU接入后，多个DU会与CU进行交互。在多个第一DU与CU的交互场景中，多个第一DU并行向CU发送信息，该信息定义为第一信息，也即CU接收UE接入的多个第一DU并行发送的第一信息。
UE在接入多个第一DU后，可以决定多个第一DU并行或者串行向CU发送信息。
在一示例中，UE向接入的多个第一DU发送指示信息，若是指示信息是指示多个第一DU并行向CU发送信息，则在多个第一DU在需要与CU进行交互时，多个第一DU并行向CU发送第一信息。
步骤S102，并行向各个第一DU发送第一DU对应的第二信息。
CU在接收到多个第一DU并行发送的第一信息后，会统一向各个第一DU发送第二信息。
在一示例中，若是多个第一DU与CU是在UE的初始接入的场景中 进行交互，则第一信息可以是各个第一DU接收到RRC的建立请求后向CU传输的初始的上行无线资源控制信息，而第二信息则是CU向各个第一DU传输的下行无线资源控制信息。初始的上行无线资源控制信息包括有UE对各个第一DU分配的C-RNTI(临时标识符)以及gNB-DU ID，也即各个第一DU通过第一信息将自身的C-RNTI以及gNB-DU ID发送至CU。CU接收第一信息后，会生成第二信息，第二信息包括CU分配的gNB-CU UE F1AP ID以及CU生成的RRC message。gNB-CU UE F1AP ID指的是CU与UE之间的F1应用协议的标识，RRC message为无线资源控制建立信息。多个第一DU接收到第二信息后，将第二信息中的RRC message发送至UE。
在另一示例中，参照图2中的6、9、11、13、14以及17的步骤涉及的是UE与AMF之间信令的交互，且多个第一DU与CU起到的作用是将信令进行封装，然后将封装的信令透传至AMF或者UE，并不涉及CU与多个第一DU之间的信令交互。第一信息是UE通过多个第一DU向CU发送的信令时，则第二信息是AMF通过CU向多个第一DU返回的信令，且各个第一DU会将接收的AMF发送的信令发送至UE。
在又一示例中，UE的初始接入会涉及到RRC重配置，也即第二信息是CU向多个第一DU发送的RRC重配置消息，各个第一DU向CU发送RRC重配置，并且UE在完成RRC重配置后，UE会向各个第一DU发送RRC重配置完成消息，各个第一DU则会向CU并行发送RRC重配置完成消息，也即CU接收各个第一DU并行发送的RRC重配置完成消息。
在本实施例中，CU接收到多个DU并行发送的第一信息后，向各个DU发送第二信息，也即CU是并行的与多个DU进行交互，节省了多个DU与CU进行交互的时间，缩短了多个DU与CU的交互场景的总交互时间，进而提高了多个DU与CU的交互场景达成目的的效率。
参照图5，图5为本公开另一实施例提供的定位方法的流程示意图，基于图5所示的实施例，步骤S102之前，还包括：
步骤S201，确定待发送至第一DU的多个第一信息。
在本实施例中，在UE接入多个第一DU后，各个第一DU之间会进行交互。而各个第一DU之间需要通过CU进行交互，也即第一信息包括第一DU向其他第一DU待发送的消息，第一其他DU是发送第一信息的 第一DU之外的第一DU。第一信息中包括有需要交互的DU的标识，也即CU根据第一信息中DU的标识确定待发送至第一DU的多个第一信息。例如，UE接入的第一DU包括DU1、DU2以及DU3，DU1的消息a携带标识2和3，则消息a是DU1发送给DU2以及DU3的消息；DU2的消息b携带标识1和3，则DU2的消息b是发送给DU1以及DU3的消息；DU3的消息c携带标识1和2，且DU3的消息c是发送给DU2以及DU1的消息。因此，待发送至DU1的各个第一信息是消息b以及消息c，待发送至DU2的各个第一信息是消息a以及消息c，待发送至DU3的各个第一信息是消息a以及消息b。
步骤S202，根据待发送至第一DU的多个第一信息确定第一DU的第二信息。
CU基于第一DU的多个第一信息整合为第一DU的第二信息。例如，待发送至DU1的各个第一信息是消息b以及消息c，则DU1的第二信息包括消息b以及消息c；待发送至DU2的各个第一信息是消息a以及消息c，则DU2第二信息包括消息a以及消息c；待发送至DU3的各个第一信息是消息a以及消息b，则DU3第二信息包括消息a以及消息b。
多个第一DU进行交互，可以是第一DU将接收到的CU传输的参数发送给其他的第一DU，参数例如为gNB-DU UE F1AP ID、gNB-DU ID，也即第二信息包括gNB-DU UE F1AP ID、gNB-DU ID。此外，在各个第一DU接收到包含gNB-DU UE F1AP ID、gNB-DU ID等参数的第二信息，各个第一DU并行向CU发送已接收到第二信息的响应。也即在步骤S201之后，还包括：CU接收各个第一DU并行发送的响应消息，响应消息用于提示第一DU对第二信息进行响应。例如，第一DU存储gNB-DU UE F1AP ID以及gNB-DU ID，第一DU则向CU发送响应消息，也即响应消息用于提示第一DU对gNB-DU UE F1AP ID以及gNB-DU ID进行了存储。
在本实施例中，各个第一DU若是进行交互，则CU将待发送至第一DU的各个第一信息整合为第一DU的第二信息，再将每个第一DU的第二信息并行发送至对应的第一DU，以并行的完成各个第一DU之间的交互，节省各个第一DU之间的交互时间。
参照图6，图6为本公开又一实施例提供的交互方法的流程示意图，基于图4或图5所示的实施例，步骤S102之后，还包括：
步骤S301，接收各个第一DU并行发送的UE的上下文修改响应消息。
本实施例多个DU与CU的交互场景是gNB-DU的间移动，也即UE从接入的多个第一DU切换至多个第二DU，第二DU是UE待接入的DU，多个第一DU为UE当前接入的DU。
在本实施例中，第一信息是上行RRC消息，而第二信息是UE的上下文修改请求。各个第一DU接收到UE的上下文修改请求后，会并行向CU发送UE的上下文修改响应消息，CU即接收各个第一DU并行发送的UE的上下文修改响应消息，也即各个第一DU告知CU自身已完成对UE的上下文修改。
步骤S302，向多个第二DU并行发送UE的上下文建立请求，第二DU是UE待接入的DU。
各个第二DU是UE待接入的DU，CU在接收到各个第一DU发送UE的上下文修改响应消息，CU向多个第二DU并行发送UE的上下文建立请求。
步骤S303，接收各个第二DU并行发送UE的上下文建立响应消息。
各个第二DU接收到UE的上下文建立请求后，通过UE的上下文建立请求中UE的标识与UE进行连接，使得UE接入多个第二DU，也即使得各个第二DU完成与UE的上下文建立。UE的上下文建立指的是多个第二DU与UE建立连接，以用于信息传输。UE的上下文修改指的是修改UE接入的DU。
各个第二DU在建立与UE的连接后，各个第二DU并行向CU发送上下文建立响应消息，也即各个第二DU告知CU各个第二DU已连接UE。
步骤S304，并行向各个第一DU发送无线资源控制RRC重配置消息。
在UE与各个第二DU建立连接后，则UE需要进行RRC的重配置，也即CU向各个第一DU发送RRC重配置消息。各个第一DU接收到RRC重配置消息后，不做解析，直接将RRC重配置消息发送至UE，也即CU通过各个第一DU将RRC重配置消息透传至UE。
在一示例中，UE会进行RRC重配置，也即建立UE与各个第二DU之间的无线资源控制的建立。UE在完成RRC重配置，向各个第二DU发送RRC重配置完成消息，各个第二DU会将RRC重配置完成消息并行发送至CU，也即CU接收各个第二DU并行发送的RRC重配置完成消息。 此时各个第一DU中包括有与UE的上下文会话，为了腾出各个第一DU的存储空间，CU并行向各个第一DU发送上下文释放消息，也即通知各个第一DU将UE相关的上下文会话进行释放。各个第一DU释放完上下文会话后，各个第一DU则并行向CU发送上下文释放完成消息，也即CU接收各个第一DU并行发送的上下文释放完成消息。
在各个第二DU并行向CU发送RRC重配置完成消息后，各个第二DU已经建立了RRC连接。各个第二DU之间可进行交互。各个第二DU则并行向CU发送交互消息，也即CU接收多个第二DU发送的交互消息，交互消息包括第二DU想其他第二DU待发送的消息，第二其他DU是发送交互信息的第二DU之外的第二DU。交互消息中包括有需要交互的DU的标识，也即CU根据交互消息中DU的标识确定待发送至第二DU的多个交互消息。例如，UE接入的第二DU包括DU4、DU5以及DU6，DU4的消息d携带标识5和6，则消息d是DU4发送给DU5以及DU6的消息；DU5的消息e携带标识4和6，则DU5的消息e是发送给DU4以及DU6的消息；DU6的消息f携带标识4和5，且DU6的消息f是发送给DU5以及DU4的消息。因此，待发送至DU4的各个交互消息是消息e以及消息f，待发送至DU5的各个交互消息是消息d以及消息f，待发送至DU6的各个交互消息是消息d以及消息e。
CU向各个第二DU发送第二DU对应的多个交互消息。例如，向DU4发送的各个交互消息是消息e以及消息f；向DU5发送的各个交互消息是消息d以及消息f；向DU6发送的各个交互消息是消息d以及消息e。
多个第二DU进行交互，可以是第二DU将接收到的CU传输的参数发送给其他的第二DU，参数例如为gNB-DU UE F1AP ID、gNB-DU ID，也即第二信息包括gNB-DU UE F1AP ID、gNB-DU ID。此外，在各个第二DU接收到包含gNB-DU UE F1AP ID、gNB-DU ID等参数的第二信息，各个第二DU并行向CU发送已接收到第二信息的响应。也即在步骤S504之后，还包括：CU接收各个第二DU并行发送的响应消息，响应消息用于提示第二DU对第二信息进行响应。例如，第二DU存储gNB-DU UE F1AP ID以及gNB-DU ID，第二DU则向CU发送响应消息，也即响应消息用于提示第二DU对gNB-DU UE F1AP ID以及gNB-DU ID进行了存储。
在本实施例中，CU基于各个第一DU并行发送的UE的上下文修改响 应消息，向多个第二DU并行发送UE的上下文建立请求，从而使得UE从接入第一DU切换至接入第二DU，且由于CU与多个第一DU进行并行的信息交互、CU与多个第二DU进行并行的信息交互，节省了UE从接入第一DU切换至接入第二DU的时间。
参照图7，图7为本公开再一实施例提供的交互方法的流程示意图，基于图4-图6任一所示的实施例，交互方法还包括：
步骤S401，若UE从第一小区移动至第二小区，对各个第一DU分配对应的第一参数。
步骤S402，向各个第一DU并行发送第一DU对应的第一参数。
在本实施例中，多个第一DU与CU的交互场景为gNB-DU的内切换。具体的，UE从一个小区(第一小区)移动至第二小区(第二小区)，UE所接入的各个第一DU并未发生变化，但UE需将第一小区的参数更改为第二小区的参数，也即UE所在的小区发生变化，各个第一DU基于UE移动后的小区需要与CU重新建立。第一小区以及第二小区指的是通信小区。
UE通过多个DU与CU交互时，CU可以对UE进行定位，以确定UE的位置。或者UE向CU的交互信息中包括有UE的位置。
CU基于UE的位置可以确定UE是否当前所在的第一小区移动至任意的第二小区。若检测到UE从第一小区移动至第二小区时，需要进行gNB-DU的内切换，此时，CU向各个第一DU发送第一参数。第一参数可以是第一DU新的UL GTP TEID。
步骤S403，接收各个第一DU并行发送的第二参数，并与各个第一DU重新建立连接。
各个第一DU在接收到第一参数后，各个第一DU会向CU并行发送第二参数。第二参数可以是各个第一DU提供的新的DL GTP TEID。
具体的，各个第一DU在接收到第一参数后，也即接收到新的UL GTP TEID后，各个第一DU采用先前的UL GTP TEID向CU发送UL PDC PPDU，直至CU与第一DU重新建立RLC，第一DU与CU建立RLC后，第一DU采用新的UL GTP TEID向CU发送数据。
CU在接收到第二参数后，也即接收到各个第一DU提供的新的UL GTP TEID后，采用各个第一DU之前提供的DL GTP TEID，向各个第一 DU发送DL PDCP PDU，直至CU执行PDCP重建或者PDCP数据的恢复，CU再采用第一DU新的DL GTP TEID向第一DU发送数据。
由上可知，第一参数是用于第一DU向重新建立连接后的CU发送数据，而第二参数是用于CU向重新建立连接后的第一DU发送数据。
需要说明的是，为了便于描述，图7所示的步骤S401-步骤S403位于步骤S102之后，但步骤S401-步骤S403可位于步骤S101以及步骤S102的任意位置。
在本实施例中，若UE从第一小区移动至第二小区，则CU向各个第一DU分配对应的第一参数，使得各个第一DU在第二小区基于第一参数向CU发送数据，各个第一DU也会并行向CU发送第二参数，使得CU基于第二参数向第二小区的各个第一DU发送数据。
参照图8，图8为本公开还一实施例提供的交互方法的流程示意图，基于图4-图6任一所示的实施例，交互方法还包括：
步骤S501，若UE从接入的多个第一DU切换至多个第三DU，对各个第三DU分配第三参数。
步骤S502，向各个第三DU并行发送第三DU对应的第三参数。
在本实施例中，多个第一DU与CU的交互场景为gNB-DU的内切换。gNB-DU的内切换指的是，NR在进行操作时，UE从接入的多个第一DU切换至多个第三DU，且各个第一DU与各个第三DU位于同一小区。第三DU是UE响应NR的操作待接入的DU。此时，CU会向各个第三DU分配第三参数。第三参数可以是CU为各个第三DU分配的UL GTP TEID。
步骤S503，接收各个第三DU并行发送的第四参数，并与各个第一DU重新建立连接。
各个第三DU在接收到第三参数后，各个第三DU会向CU并行发送第四参数。第四参数可以是各个第三DU提供的新的DL GTP TEID。
具体的，各个第三DU在接收到第三参数后，也即接收到新的UL GTP TEID后，各个第三DU采用先前的UL GTP TEID向CU发送UL PDC PPDU，直至CU与第三DU建立RLC，第三DU与CU建立RLC后，第三DU采用新的UL GTP TEID向CU发送数据。
CU在接收到第四参数后，也即接收到各个第三DU提供的新的UL GTP TEID后，采用各个第三DU之前提供的DL GTP TEID，向各个第三 DU发送DL PDCP PDU，直至CU执行PDCP重建或者PDCP数据的恢复，CU再采用第三DU新的DL GTP TEID向第三DU发送数据。
由上可知，第三参数是用于第一DU向重新建立连接后的CU发送数据，而第四参数是用于CU向重新建立连接后的第一DU发送数据。
需要说明的是，为了便于描述，图7所示的步骤S501-步骤S503位于步骤S102之后，但步骤S501-步骤S503可位于步骤S101以及步骤S102的任意位置。
在本实施例中，若UE从第一DU切换至第三DU，则CU向各个第三DU分配对应的第三参数，使得各个第三DU基于第三参数向CU发送数据，各个第三DU也会并行向CU发送第四参数，使得CU基于第四参数向各个第三DU发送数据。
参照图9，图9是本公开实施例提供的交互方法的流程示意图，应用于分布单元实体，交互方法包括：
步骤S601，接收用户设备UE发送的指示消息，指示消息用于指示UE接入的多个分布单元实体并行向集中单元实体CU发送信息。
步骤S602，根据指示消息向CU发送第一信息。
在本实施例中，集中单元实体指的是CU的实体设备，分布单元实体则指的是DU的实体设备。
UE在接入多个DU后，可以决定多个DU并行或者串行向CU发送信息。
在一示例中，UE向接入的多个DU发送指示信息，也即DU接收到UE发送的指示信息、若是指示信息是指示多个DU并行向CU发送信息，则在多个DU在需要与CU进行交互时，多个DU并行向CU发送第一信息。
步骤S603，接收CU发送的第二信息。
CU在接收到多个DU并行发送的第一信息后，会统一向各个DU发送第二信息。
在一示例中，若是多个第一DU与CU是在UE的初始接入的场景中进行交互，则第一信息可以是各个第一DU接收到RRC的建立请求后向CU传输的初始的上行无线资源控制信息，而第二信息则是CU向各个第一DU传输的下行无线资源控制信息。初始的上行无线资源控制信息包括有 UE对各个第一DU分配的C-RNTI(临时标识符)以及gNB-DU ID，也即各个第一DU通过第一信息将自身的C-RNTI以及gNB-DU ID发送至CU。CU接收第一信息后，会生成第二信息，第二信息包括CU分配的gNB-CU UE F1AP ID以及CU生成的RRC message。gNB-CU UE F1AP ID指的是CU与UE之间的F1应用协议的标识，RRC message为无线资源控制建立信息。多个第一DU接收到第二信息后，将第二信息中的RRC message发送至UE。
在另一示例中，参照图2中的6、9、11、13、14以及17的步骤涉及的是UE与AMF之间信令的交互，且多个第一DU与CU起到的作用是将信令进行封装，然后将封装的信令透传至AMF或者UE，并不涉及CU与多个第一DU之间的信令交互。第一信息是UE通过多个第一DU向CU发送的信令时，则第二信息是AMF通过CU向多个第一DU返回的信令，且各个第一DU会将接收的AMF发送的信令发送至UE。
在又一示例中，UE的初始接入会涉及到RRC重配置，也即第二信息是CU向多个第一DU发送的RRC重配置消息，各个第一DU向CU发送RRC重配置，并且UE在完成RRC重配置后，UE会向各个第一DU发送RRC重配置完成消息，各个第一DU则会向CU并行发送RRC重配置完成消息，也即CU接收各个第一DU并行发送的RRC重配置完成消息。
此外，多个DU与CU的交互场景还包括：多个DU通过CU进行交互，gNB-DU的间移动以及gNB-DU的内切换。在这些场景中，多个DU会并行向CU发送消息，CU接收到各个消息后，则会并行向各个DU发送对应的消息，交互场景各个DU并行向CU发送的消息以及CU向多个DU并行发送的消息，具体参照图3-图8所示的实施例，在此不再进行赘述。
在本实施例中，DU接收UE发送的指示消息，基于指示消息，该DU与UE接入的其他DU并行向CU发送第一信息，CU向UE接入的各个DU并行发送第二信息。在多个DU与CU的交互场景中，CU是并行的与多个DU进行交互，节省了多个DU与CU进行交互的时间，缩短了多个DU与CU的交互场景的总交互时间，进而提高了多个DU与CU的交互场景达成目的的效率。
参照图10，图10是本公开实施例提供的交互方法的流程示意图，应 用于用户设备，交互方法包括：
步骤S701，向用户设备接入的多个分布单元实体DU发送指示消息，指示消息用于指示多个DU向集中单元实体CU并行发送信息。
在本实施例中，集中单元实体指的是CU的实体设备，分布单元实体则指的是DU的实体设备。
UE会选择多个DU进行接入。在一示例中，UE会基于自身所需的传输带宽、数据传输速率等参数来选择接入DU的数量。若UE要求传输带宽大、数据传输速率高，则UE选择较多数量的DU进行接入。若UE要求传输带宽小、数据传输速率低，UE选择较少数量的DU进行接入。
UE接入多个DU后，多个DU与CU存在交互场景。在一示例中，UE与CU之间需要通过DU进行数据交互，则多个DU需要与CU进行数据交互。在另一示例中，UE需要更改接入的DU，则UE当前接入的DU需要与CU进行数据交互，且UE待接入的多个DU也需要与CU进行交互。此外，在gNB-DU内切换，以及各个DU之间的交互，也需要多个DU与CU进行数据交互。
在多个DU与CU进行数据交互的场景中，UE通过向各个DU发送指示信息，使得多个DU与CU的交互过程中，多个DU并行向CU发送消息，CU再并行向多个CU反馈对应的消息。多个DU与CU之间的交互流程以及涉及的并行发送的消息参照图4-图8所示的实施例，在此不再进行赘述。
在本实施例中，UE向接入的多个DU发送指示消息，使得多个DU并行向CU发送信息，且CU并行向多个DU发送消息。在多个DU与CU的交互场景中，CU是并行的与多个DU进行交互，节省了多个DU与CU进行交互的时间，缩短了多个DU与CU的交互场景的总交互时间，进而提高了多个DU与CU的交互场景达成目的的效率。
