本申请实施例中,第一网络设备在与终端设备之间无线链路失败,以及接收到终端设备上报的第一失败信息后,发送的第一响应信息包括用于指示从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区的第一指示信息,或者包括从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择的第一小区的小区标识,从而有利于终端设备及时接入第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,即有利于快速恢复终端设备与主小区组之间的无线链路。
另外,第一网络设备接收的第一失败信息包括该第一网络设备给终端设备配置的第一条件切换配置信息,可使得第一网络设备后续根据第一失败信息优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息,从而可减少过晚条件切换发生的次数,进而可减少终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败概率。
一种可选的实施方式中,第一网络设备还可接收来自第三网络设备的失败报告,并将第一失败信息和失败报告关联。
其中,失败报告包括第二失败信息,第二失败信息包括第一响应消息的消息指示类型,还包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区失败,或者,接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败。第一响应消息的消息指示类型指示第一响应消息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识。第二小区是终端设备根据第一指示信息选择接入的小区。第三网络设备是终端设备重新接入成功的网络设备。
第一网络设备还可接收终端设备根据第一响应信息接入小区失败时记录的失败报告,并将失败报告和第一失败信息关联,从而可使得第一网络设备基于关联后的失败信息,更加准确的联合分析终端设备与第一网络设备发生无线链路失败,以及根据第一响应信息接入小区失败的原因。
一种可选的实施方式中,第二失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区失败时,失败报告携带的小区无线网络临时标识和第一失败信息携带的小区无线网络临时标识相同,且失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告。
第二失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区失败时,表明终端设备未成功接入第一小区或第二小区,即终端设备的服务小区未发生变化,从而终端设备的小区无线网络临时标识未发生变化。那么,第一网络设备关联的失败报告和第一失败信息中携带相同的小区无线网络临时标识,且失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告。
另一种可选的实施方式中,第二失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败时,失败报告携带的候选小区标识所对应的小区是第一失败信息中第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,且失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告。
第二失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败时,表明终端设备曾在较短时间内接入第一小区或第二小区,那么终端设备的服务小区在接入第一小区或第二小区成功时发生了变化,即终端设备的小区无线网络临时标识发生了变化。然而,终端设备的第一条件切换配置信息未发生变化,因此第一网络设备可依据失败报告携带的候选小区标识所对应的小区是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区原则,将第一失败信息和失败报告关联,且失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告。
一种可选的实施方式中,第二失败信息还包括第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示终端设备接收第一响应消息的小区为主小区组中的主小区,第一响应信息是终端设备记录第二失败信息之前最后一次接收的信息。

一种可选的实施方式中,第一网络设备统计第一时延,第一时延为第一网络设备与第二网络设备的站间交互平均时延。该方式中有利于第一网络设备在终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败时,根据该第一时延,确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因是否是第一网络设备与第二网络设备的站间交互平均时延(即第一时延)过大造成的。
第三方面,本申请还提供一种通信处理方法,该方面的通信方法与第一方面、第二方面所述的通信方法相对应,该方面的通信方法是从第二网络设备侧进行阐述的(可应用于第二网络设备的设备或芯片上)。该方法中,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的第一失败信息,第一失败信息包括终端设备与第一网络设备之间无线链路失败的信息和第一条件切换配置信息。第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一失败信息。第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的第一响应信息,第一响应消息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识。第二网络设备向终端设备发送第一响应信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区,第一小区是终端设备的待切换小区且是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区。第一网络设备是终端设备接入的主小区组所属的网络设备,第二网络设备是终端设备接入的辅小区组所属的网络设备。
第二网络设备在终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败时,将终端设备上报的第一失败信息转发给第一网络设备,并将第一网络设备发送的第一响应信息转发给终端设备,以使得终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速无线链路恢复成功,从而有利于终端设备基于第一响应信息及时接入第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,即有利于快速恢复终端设备与主小区组之间的无线链路。
一种可选的实施方式中,第二网络设备统计第二时延,以及第三时延。其中,第二时延为第二网络设备与第一网络设备交互第一失败信息和第一响应信息的站间交互平均时延,或者为第二网络设备与第一网络设备的站间交互平均时延。第三时延为第二网络设备与终端设备的控制面信令空口交互平均时延,该空口交互平均时延分为上行时延和下行时延,可以直接采纳已有的用户面数据包的上行时延和下行时延结果,即每个终端设备的每个数据无线承载的粒度的时延统计结果。也可以参考用户面数据包的统计方式,按照每个终端设备的每个信令无线承载的粒度统计控制面信令的上行时延和下行时延。
该方式有利于第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第二时延和第三时延,进而有利于第一网络设备在终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败时,基于第二时延和第三时延,确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因。例如,若第二时延大于第一预设值,则第一网络设备确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因可能是第二时延过大造成的。再例如,若第三时延大于第二预设值,则第一网络设备确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因可能是第三时延过大造成的。
第四方面,本申请实施例还提供一种通信处理方法,可应用于终端设备(例如终端设备的设备或芯片上)。该方法包括:终端设备如果与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败且第一定时器未超时,将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中。终端设备如果与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败且第一定时器超时,将第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,以及将第三失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中。
其中,第一失败信息是终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败的信息,第三失败信息是终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的信息。第一网络设备是终端设备接入的主小区组所属的网络设备。第一定时器是终端设备在检测到与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败时开启的。
本申请实施例中,终端设备如果与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快 速链路恢复失败时,可根据第一定时器是否超时,确定将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中,还是分别记录在不同的无线链路失败报告中。
如果第一定时器未超时,终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因可能和终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败的关联性较高,因此将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在同一个无线失败链路报告(即第一无线链路失败报告)中,有利于后续第一网络设备根据第一无线链路失败报告,联合分析终端设备与第一网络设备之间无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因。如果第一定时器超时,终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因可能和终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败的关联性较弱,因此将第一失败信息和第三失败信息分别记录在不同的无线链路失败报告中。
另外,与终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败时,第一失败信息和第三失败信息如果分别记录在不同的无线链路失败报告里,最终只留下最新的无线链路失败报告,即记录第三失败信息的无线链路报告会覆盖掉包含第一失败信息的无线链路失败报告,终端设备将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中,可保证失败信息的记录完整性,从而有利于第一网络设备获得完整的无线链路失败信息。
一种可选的实施方式中,第三失败信息包括以下一种或多种:指示终端设备是否执行快速链路恢复失败的指示信息、第三定时器的超时原因、辅小区组发生无线链路失败的原因、辅小区组去激活。

可选的,第四网络设备是终端设备检测到与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,且与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败后,进行小区选择,选择的小区不是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区时,进行无线资源控制连接重建立,重新接入成功的网络设备。
该方式有利于第四网络设备向第一网络设备转发第一无线链路失败报告,或者转发第二无线链路失败报告和第三无线链路失败报告,进而有利于第一网络设备根据接收的无线链路失败报告,分析终端设备与第一网络设备之间无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因。
一种可选的实施方式中,终端设备在利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败时,还可根据第二定时器确定第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息的记录方式。

如果第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中,第二定时器未超时,终端设备将第四失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中,即将第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息均记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中,以有利于第一网络设备根据第一无线链路失败报告联合分析到与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败、与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败,以及利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败的原因。如果第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中,第二定时器超时,终端设备将第四失败信息记录在不同于第一无线链路失败报告的第四无线链路失败报告中,即不将第四失败信息与第一失败信息、第三失败信息关联。
该情况下,终端设备还可向第三网络设备发送第一无线链路失败报告,或者,发送第四无线链路失败报告。第三网络设备是终端设备重新接入成功的网络设备。该方式可使得第三网络设备向第一网络设备转发接收的无线链路失败报告,从而有利于第一网络设备根据接收的无线链路失败报告分析终端设备发生无线链路失败的原因。

如果第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,第二失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中,第二定时器未超时,终端设备将第四失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告和第三无线链路失败报告中的任一无线链路失败报告中,以有利于第一网络设备根据第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息中的其中两个失败信息,联合分析终端设备发生无线链路失败的原因。
该情况下,终端设备还可向第三网络设备发送第二无线链路失败报告,或者,发送第三无线链路失败报告,或者,发送第四无线链路失败报告。第三网络设备是终端设备进行基于条件切换的恢复失败后重新接入成功的网络设备。该方式可使得第三网络设备向第一网络设备转发接收的无线链路失败报告,从而有利于第一网络设备根据接收的无线链路失败报告分析终端设备发生无线链路失败的原因。

具体实施方式
下面结合本申请实施例中的附图对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整的描述。
为了清楚的描述实施例,下文先对本发明涉及的一些术语或概念进行简单说明。
一.通信系统。
为了更好的理解本申请实施例公开的通信方法,对本申请实施例适用的通信系统进行描述。
本申请实施例可应用于第五代移动通信(5th generation mobile communication,5G)系统、第六代移动通信(6th generation mobile communication,6G)系统、卫星通信及短距等无线通信系统中。无线通信系统可以包括一个或多个网络设备,以及一个或多个终端设备。无线通信系统也可以进行点对点通信,如多个终端设备之间互相通信。图1的通信系统以网络设备包括网络设备1和网络设备2,终端设备为终端设备1,终端设备1可同时与网络设备1和网络设备2通信,且网络设备1与核心网的移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)连接,网络设备2与核心网的服务网关(serving gate way,S-WG)连接为例。

本申请实施例中,网络设备是具有无线收发功能的设备,用于与终端设备进行通信。例如,网络设备 是将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)节点。RAN节点包括但不限于是:gNB、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、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(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU),或无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wifi)接入点(access point,AP)、接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)等。
在一种网络结构中,网络设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit,CU)、或包括分布单元(distributed unit,DU)、或包括CU和DU的RAN设备。
在一种网络结构中,如图2所示,网络设备包括CU和DU。其中,CU可以划分为控制面(control plane)和用户面(user plane),即CU包括CU-CP和CU-UP。其中,CU-CP负责控制面功能,主要包含无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)和分组数据汇聚协议-控制面(packet data convergence protocol control plane,PDCP-C)。PDCP-C主要负责控制面数据的加解密、完整性保护、数据传输等。CU-UP负责用户面功能,主要包含服务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)和分组数据汇聚协议-用户面(packet data convergence protocol user plane,PDCP-U)。其中,SDAP主要负责将核心网的数据进行处理并将映射到承载。PDCP-U主要负责数据面的加解密、完整性保护、头压缩、序列号维护、数据传输等。另外,CU-CP和CU-UP通过E1接口连接,CU-CP通过F1-C接口和DU连接,CU-UP通过F1-U接口和DU连接。还有一种可能的实现是PDCP-C也在CU-UP中。DU包括无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)、介质访问控制(media access control,MAC)和物理(physical,PHY)。

二.相关概念。
为了更好的理解本申请实施例公开的通信方法,对本申请实施例涉及的相关概念进行简单的介绍。
1.条件切换(conditional handover,CHO)。
CHO机制:源基站在与终端设备的源链路信号质量较好时,向终端设备发送CHO配置信息,该CHO配置信息中包括一个或多个候选小区的信息(比如,候选小区的全球小区标识(cell global identifier,CGI))、CHO触发条件,或者,候选小区的物理小区标识(physical cell Identifier,PCI)以及每个候选小区对应的频率信息。终端设备接收到源基站配置的CHO配置信息后,确定该CHO配置信息配置的候选小区的小区质量是否满足CHO触发条件,将满足CHO触发条件的小区作为目标切换小区,并向该切换目标小区发起随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)。终端设备随机接入目标切换小区成功时,终端设备向目标切换小区所属的基站(即目标基站)发送CHO完成消息,以通知目标基站与该目标基站的条件切换完成。
示例性的,图4为终端设备进行条件切换的过程。如图4所示,终端设备与源基站通信,源基站向终端设备发送RRC重配置信息,该RRC重配置信息包括测量配置信息。终端设备根据测量配置信息对邻小区进行测量,并将测量结果以测量报告(measurement report)的方式上报给源基站。源基站根据测量报告确定邻小区信号质量较好的小区,并分别向信号质量较好的邻小区所属的候选基站1和候选基站2发送CHO请求。如果源基站均收到候选基站1和候选基站2回复的CHO请求确认应答(conditional handover  request acknowledge,CHO requestACK),源基站与候选基站1和候选基站2之间完成了CHO交互。源基站在向终端设备发送CHO配置信息,该CHO配置信息包括候选基站1所属的候选小区1、候选基站2所属的候选小区2,以及候选小区1和候选小区2分别对应的CHO触发条件(比如,CHO触发条件为信号质量阈值)。如果终端设备确定与候选小区1之间的信号质量满足CHO触发条件,向候选基站1发起RACH。终端设备在RACH完成后,向候选基站1发送CHO完成消息,以通知候选基站1与该候选基站1的条件切换完成。
2.多模双连接(multi-radio dual connectivity,MR-DC)、主基站(master node,MN)、辅基站(secondary node,SN)、主小区(primary cell,Pcell)、主辅小区(primary secondary cell,PSCell)、主小区组(master cell group,MCG)、辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)。
多模双连接:无线网络中,一个终端设备同时与多个网络设备进行通信的通信方式。MR-DC也可被称为双连接(dual-connectivity,DC)。MR-DC中,与终端设备同时通信的多个网络设备可以是属于同一个无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)的网络设备,比如该多个网络设备均是4G基站,或者均是5G基站;或者,与终端设备同时通信的多个网络设备也可以是不同RAT的网络设备,比如该多个网络设备中的部分网络设备是4G基站,其余部分网络设备是5G基站。
MR-DC中,与核心网和有控制面信令交互的基站称为主基站MN,其他与终端设备连接的基站称为辅基站SN。如图1所示,与终端设备1连接的网络设备包括网络设备1和网络设备2,且网络设备1与核心网的移动性管理实体连接,网络设备1和网络设备2均与服务网关连接,则网络设备1为终端设备1的主基站MN,网络设备2为终端设备1的辅基站SN。
MR-DC中,MN为终端设备服务的小区中存在一个主小区(Pcell),SN为终端设备服务的小区中存在一个主辅小区(PSCell)。其中,主小区(Pcell)是指部署在主频点,且终端设备在小区发起初始连接建立过程或发起连接重建过程,或者在切换过程中指示为主小区的小区。主辅小区(PSCell)是指终端设备在辅基站发起随机接入过程的小区,或者当终端设备在辅基站改变过程中跳过随机接入过程发起数据传输的小区,或者执行同步的重配过程中发起随机接入的辅基站的小区。
终端设备可以接收来自一个基站所属的多个小区的服务,MN为终端设备提供服务的小区组称为主小区组(MCG),SN为终端设备提供服务的小区组称为辅小区组(SCG)。MCG和SCG中分别至少包含一个cell。MCG中仅包含一个cell时,该cell为终端设备的PCell。SCG中仅包含一个cell时,该cell为终端设备的PSCell。新空口(new radio,NR)中,将PCell和PSCell称为特别小区(special cell,SpCell)。当MCG或SCG中包含多个小区时,除了SpCell之外的小区均被称为辅小区(secondary cell,SCell)。辅小区是指工作在辅载波上的小区。
图5为MR-DC中各种小区的架构示意图。如图5所示,终端设备与多个网络设备建立连接时,为终端设备服务的小区组包括MCG和SCG。MCG中包括Pcell和其他SCell,SCG中包括PSCell和其他SCell。小区组中的SCell与SpCell进行载波聚合(carrier Aggregation,CA),即终端设备同时使用多个小区(载波)进行上下行通信,以支持高速数据传输。
3.快速主小区组链路恢复(fast MCG link recovery)。
R15协议中,终端设备检测到主小区组的无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF),即检测到该终端设备与MN之间的链路发生无线链路失败时,终端设备发起RRC连接重建立,以恢复与MCG之间的连接。然而,终端设备进行RRC连接重建立,会带来长时间的数据中断,比如,存在90ms~130ms的数据中断。
为避免终端设备在检测到与MCG的RLF时直接进行RRC连接重建立,R16协议提出fast MCG link recovery流程。fast MCG link recovery流程是指:终端设备检测到与MCG之间发生RLF,也即与MN之间发生RLF时,通过SN向MCG发送终端设备与MCG之间无线链路连接失败的失败信息,并通过SN接收来自MN的响应信息,该响应信息包括终端设备接入或切换小区的小区信息,比如,响应信息包括切换(handover)消息或RRC重释放(RRCRelease)消息。终端设备可通过分离(split)的信令无线承载(signaling radio bearer,SRB)1或SRB3向SN上报MCG failure information,并启动T316定时器(timer)。在T316计时期间,如果终端设备通过SN接收到MN发送的响应信息,则终端设备进行fast MCG link recovery流程成功,否则终端设备进行fast MCG link recovery流程失败,终端设备进行RRC连接重建立。
其中,SRB3使用NR-专用控制信道(dedicated control channel,DCCH)逻辑信道。SRB3的调度优先级高于所有的数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)的调度优先级。split SRB1和SRB3的默认调度优先级相同,终端设备不需要在SRB1和SRB3之间对RRC消息进行重排序。
SN为SRB3选择加密和完整性保护算法,并在SCG configuration中提供给MN。SN决定建立SRB3, SN通过SN RRC消息提供SRB3配置。SRB3的建立和释放在辅节点添加和变更流程中完成,SRB3重配置在辅节点修改流程中完成。当终端设备与SCG之间的连接释放时,SRB3被释放。
在不涉及MN的流程中,SRB3可以用于发送SN RRC重配置(SN RRC Reconfiguration)信息、SN RRC重配置完成(SN RRC Reconfiguration Complete)信息、SN测量报告(SN Measurement Report)、SN失败信息(SN Failure Information)、SN UE协助信息消息(SN UE Assistance Information)和SN IAB其他信息(SN IAB Other Information)。SN RRC Reconfiguration Complete消息与发起流程的消息映射到同一个SRB上。SN测量报告消息映射到SRB3,如果配置的话,无论配置是直接从SN接收还是通过MN接收。MN RRC消息不会映射到SRB3。
如果split SRB1未被配置,则SRB3可以用于终端设备在UL Information Transport MR-DC消息中向MN发送封装的MCG失败信息消息,并响应接收DL Information Transfer MRDC消息中封装的RRC reconfiguration、Mobility From NR Command、RRC release消息。
在所有MR-DC情况下,SRB1和SRB2都支持split SRB,SRB0和SRB3不支持split SRB。Split SRB上的RRC协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)通过NR PDCP加密和完整性保护。Split SRB由MN在辅节点添加和变更流程中配置,SN配置部分由SN提供。终端设备可以同时配置split SRB1、split SRB2和SRB3。SRB3和split SRB的SCG分支可以独立配置。
4.移动鲁棒性优化(mobility robustness optimization,MRO)机制、无线链路失败报告(RLF report)。
MRO机制是指:终端设备发生与移动性相关的异常情况(比如终端设备切换失败,终端设备在目标小区的无线链路失败等)时,向网络设备上报发生移动性相关的异常参数,网络设备根据该相关的异常参数进行自主分析、优化网络参数等。
目前MRO机制中,网络设备会基于性能指标的反馈来调整移动性参数,性能指标的反馈可以是通过RLF report或成功切换报告(successful handover report,SHR)等报告来反馈,移动性参数是在判断切换过程中用到的参数,比如切换的阈值等。MRO机制可减少因网络参数设置不合理而导致的同频切换、异频切换、异系统切换等切换中的切换过早、切换过晚以及乒乓切换等问题。
其中,RLF report包括但不限于以下信息中的一种或多种:
1.失败的主小区标识(failed Pcell Identification,failed Pcell ID)。failed Pcell ID包括终端设备检测到RLF的小区信息,或者切换失败(handover failure,HOF)的目标小区信息。
2.连接失败类型(connection failure type)。connection failure type包括终端设备发生RLF,或者终端设备切换失败,或者终端设备启动的定时器(比如发送测量报告后启动的T312定时器)到期等失败类型。
3.源主小区标识(previous PCell ID)。previous PCell ID包括终端设备上一次接收到切换命令的源小区信息。
4.重建小区标识(reestablishment Cell Id)。reestablishment Cell Id包括终端设备连接失败后发起RRC连接重建立的小区信息。
5.连接失败时间(time Conn Failure)。time Conn Failure包括终端设备最后一次收到HO命令到连接失败的时间。
6失败时间(time Since Failure)。time Since Failure包括终端设备连接失败时开始记录的时间长度,一般指终端设备连接失败到上报RLF report的时间。
7.无线链路失败原因(rlf-Cause)。rlf-Cause包括终端设备发生无线链路失败的原因,或者切换失败的原因。例如,rlf-Cause为T310超时,或者为随机接入问题(random Access Problem),或者为RLC重传失败过多等。
上述所涉及到的小区信息可包括CGI,和/或,PCI与频率。此外,RLF report中还可包括各小区的小区质量,比如检测到链路失败时的失败小区和/或邻区的小区质量。可选的,小区信息还可包括小区的测量结果。
本申请公开的实施例将围绕包括多个设备、组件、模块等的系统来呈现本申请的各个方面、实施例或特征。应当理解和明白的是,各个系统可以包括另外的设备、组件、模块等,并且/或者可以并不包括结合附图讨论的所有设备、组件、模块等。此外,还可以使用这些方案的组合。
本申请实施例中的第一、第二、第三、第四是为了便于表述上的区别而进行的命名,不造成实质性限定,且没有顺序等限定。
本申请实施例中,第一网络设备是终端设备接入的主小区组所属的网络设备,也可将第一网设备看作是终端设备的源主基站(源MN)。第二网络设备是终端设备接入的辅小区组所属的网络设备,也可将第二 网络设备看作是终端设备的辅基站(SN)。
第三网络设备是终端设备基于第一网络设备发送的第一响应信息接入小区失败后重新接入成功的网络设备,或者是终端设备进行基于条件切换的恢复失败后重新接入成功的网络设备。第三网络设备可理解为是终端设备基于第一网络设备发送的第一响应信息接入小区失败后,进行RRC连接重建立成功的网络设备;或者可理解为是终端设备进行RRC连接重建立失败后,回到空闲(idle)态进行小区选择,接入成功的小区所属的网络设备;或者可理解为是终端执行基于条件切换的恢复接入成功的网络设备,或者可以理解为是终端设备进行基于条件切换的恢复失败后,进行RRC连接重建立成功的网络设备;或者可以理解为是终端设备进行基于条件切换的恢复失败后,且进行RRC连接重建立失败后,回到空闲(idle)态进行小区选择,接入成功的小区所属的网络设备。第三网络设备也可被看作是终端设备进行基于条件切换的恢复接入成功的目标MN,或者是进行RRC连接重建立成功的目标MN,或者是终端设备进行RRC连接重建立失败后,进行小区选择,接入成功的小区所属于的目标MN。
第四网络设备是终端设备在进行小区选择,选择的小区是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区时,向该选择的小区接入成功时,接入的小区所属的网络设备。
实施例一
本申请实施例提出一种通信方法100,图6是该通信方法100的交互示意图。该通信方法100从终端设备、第一网络设备、第二网络设备的交互角度进行阐述。该通信方法100包括但不限于以下步骤:
S101.终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败时,向第二网络设备发送第一失败信息,第一失败信息包括第一条件切换配置信息。相应的,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的第一失败信息。
其中,第一网络设备和第二网络设备可参见上述所述,不再赘述。
终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,可理解为终端设备与第一网络设备之间的链路发生了无线链路失败,或者可理解为终端设备与主小区组之间断开了连接。终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败后,终端设备与辅小区之间的连接仍存在,从而终端设备可向辅小区所属的第二网络设备发送第一失败信息,以使得第二网络设备向第一网络设备转发终端设备的第一失败信息。
第一失败信息是终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)的失败信息。第一失败信息可以是终端设备通过无线链路失败报告(RLF report)的形式发送给第二网络设备的,从而第一失败信息包括但不限于上述RLF report中包括的信息。例如,第一失败信息包括failed Pcell ID,且failed Pcell ID被记录为主小区组中主小区的小区标识。再例如,第一失败信息包括connection failure type,且connection failure type被记录为终端设备过晚进行条件切换。
第一失败信息还包括第一条件切换配置信息,该第一条件切换配置信息是第一网络设备在与终端设备之间的信号质量大于预设阈值时,向终端设备配置的。第一条件切换配置信息包括一个或多个候选小区、该一个或多个候选小区中每个小区的无线空口配置和每个小区的切换执行触发条件的一种或者多种。
该方式中,终端设备在与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败时,向第二网络设备发送第一失败信息,以使得第二网络设备将接收的第一失败信息转发给第一网络设备。
S102.第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一失败信息。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的第一失败信息。
终端设备在与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败时,通过第二网络设备向第一网络设备上报了携带第一条件切换配置信息的第一失败信息。该方式不仅使得第一网络设备获得终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败的相关信息,还有利于第一网络设备后续基于第一条件切换配置信息对终端设备的条件切换配置信息的优化。
S103.第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一响应信息,第一响应信息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识。相应的,第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的第一响应信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区,第一小区是终端设备的待切换小区且是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区。待切换小区是指终端设备的目标切换小区,即第一小区是终端设备的目标切换小区且是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区。
第一指示信息也可理解为CHO based recovery信息,以指示终端设备从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择待接入的小区。
另一种可选的实施方式中,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区 中选择接入的小区和/或条件切换配置标识。也就是说,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区和对应的无线空口配置,或者,用于指示条件切换配置标识,或者用于指示终端设备将该条件切换配置作为第一条件切换配置信息。
一种可选的实施方式中,第一网络设备统计第一时延,第一时延为第一网络设备与第二网络设备的站间交互平均时延。
本申请实施例中,时延的定义为:从发送消息到接收对应响应消息之间的时间差。也就是说,第一时延可以是从第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送辅站添加/修改/释放/变更请求信息到接收到来自第二网络设备的响应信息如辅站添加/修改/释放/变更请求确认消息之间的时间差。
该站间交互平均时延可以是Xn口时延,可以是X2口时延,也可以是基于NG口和/或S1口的时延。Xn口是NR站点之间的通信接口,X2口是NR站点与LTE站点的通信接口。如果没有Xn口和X2口,两个站点之间的通信则通过核心网的NG(NR站点<->NR核心网)和/或S1口(4G核心网<->LTE站点)来转发来实现通信。
该方式中,第一网络设备统计了第一网络设备与第二网络设备的站间交互平均时延,因此,第一网络设备可获知第一时延测量信息。从而有利于第一网络设备在终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败时,根据第一时延测量信息,确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因是否是第一网络设备与第二网络设备的站间交互平均时延(即第一时延)过大造成的。例如,第一时延大于第三预设值,第一网络设备确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因可能是第一时延过大造成的,并根据该第一时延测量信息合理配置T316门限,减少终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的概率。
S104.第二网络设备向终端设备发送第一响应信息。相应的,终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的第一响应信息。
可理解的,第一网络设备接收到第一失败信息后,通过第二网络设备向终端设备发送第一响应信息。第一响应消息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识,从而终端设备可基于第一指示信息向在第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择的小区接入,或者直接向第一小区切换。终端设备基于第一指示信息在第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区选择接入的小区时,是基于小区选择原则在第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区选择接入的小区。小区选择原则包括信号质量阈值。例如,终端设备在第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中满足小区选择的信号质量阈值时,将其候选小区作为终端设备待接入的小区。
终端设备接收到第一响应后,根据第一响应信息进行小区接入或小区切换。终端设备根据第一响应信息接入或者切换小区时,待接入的小区或待切换的小区为第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,从而可提高终端设备接入或切换小区的成功率,有利于终端设备及时接入第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,有利于快速恢复终端设备与主小区组之间的无线链路。
可选的,第一响应消息包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区和对应的无线空口配置时,终端设备直接从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区,并采用对应的无线空口配置接入选择的小区。
可选的,第一响应消息包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示条件切换配置标识,终端设备根据该条件切换配置标识,确定该条件切换配置标识对应的第一条件切换配置信息,并在该第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区,接入选择的小区。
可选的,第一响应信息包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备将该条件切换配置信息作为第一条件切换配置信息时,终端设备也可直接从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区,并接入选择的小区。
一种可选的实施方式中,终端设备如果接入第一小区或第二小区失败,或者接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败,进行无线资源控制连接重建立(RRC连接重建立)。第二小区是终端设备根据第一指示信息选择接入的小区,即是终端设备根据第一指示信息在第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择的待接入的小区。
终端设备接入第一小区或第二小区失败,是指终端设备未接入第一小区或第二小区。终端设备接入第一小区或第二小区失败,可能是从第一条件切换配置信息配置的小区中选择接入或切换的小区时,选择的小区不合适,或者可能是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区不合理。
终端设备接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败,表明终端设备曾成功接入第一小区或第二小区,只是在较短时间内发生无线链路失败。但终端设备接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败,也被认为终端设备未成功接入小区,即未与目标网络设备建立连接。
因此,终端设备在接入第一小区或第二小区失败时,或者,接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败时,均进行RRC连接重建立,以尝试通过RRC连接重建立的方式接入目标小区,恢复与主小区组之间的无线链路。
另一种可选的实施方式中,终端设备如果接入第一小区或第二小区失败,或者接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败,还可记录第二失败信息,并向第三网络设备发送失败报告,该失败报告包括第二失败信息。相应的,第三网络设备可接收来自终端设备的失败报告,并将该失败报告转发给第一网络设备。从而第一网络设备接收来自第三网络设备的失败报告。
其中,第二失败信息包括第一响应消息的消息指示类型,还包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区失败,或者,接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败。第一响应消息的消息指示类型指示第一响应消息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识。
第一响应消息的消息指示类型可以是通过比特的方式隐式指示第一响应信息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识。例如,用于指示第一响应消息的消息指示类型的比特为0时,指示第一响应消息包括第一指示信息,用于指示第一响应消息的消息指示类型的比特为1时,指示第一响应消息包括第一小区的小区标识。相反的,用于指示第一响应消息的消息指示类型的比特为0时,也可指示第一响应消息包括第一小区的小区标识,用于指示第一响应消息的消息指示类型的比特为1时,也可指示第一响应信息包括第一指示信息。本申请实施例不限定具体的隐式指示方式。
可选的,第一响应消息的消息指示类型还可以是通过直接指示的方式,指示第一响应消息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识。例如,第一响应消息的消息指示类型通过第四指示信息的方式直接指示,第四指示信息用于指示第一响应信息包括第一指示信息,或者第四指示信息用于指示第一小区的小区标识。
第二失败消息还包括终端设备接入第一小区或第二小区失败,或者接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路,是指第二失败信息还包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入目标小区失败的原因。第二失败信息包括但不限于上述RLF report中的相关参数信息,不再赘述。
另外,第三网络设备是终端设备重新接入成功的网络设备。从而终端设备通过第三网络设备将携带第二失败信息的失败报告上报给第一网络设备,以使得第一网络设备获得终端设备根据第一响应信息接入目标小区失败的失败原因。
另一种可选的实施方式中,第二失败信息还包括第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示终端设备接收第一响应消息的小区为主小区组中的主小区。该第一响应消息是终端设备记录第二失败信息之前最后一次收到的消息。
由上述RLF report可知,第二失败信息可包括终端设备接收上一次命令/消息的源小区信息。终端设备记录第二失败信息之前接收的上一次消息为第一响应消息,且该第一响应消息的第一网络设备通过第二网络设备发送给终端设备的,即终端设备接收第一响应消息的源小区为主小区组中主小区。因此,第二失败信息还包括第二指示信息,以通过第二指示信息向第一网络设备上报终端设备记录第二失败信息之前最后一次接收的第一响应消息来自于主小区组中的主小区。
一种可选的实施方式中,终端设备直接将第二指示信息中的previous PCell ID记录为主小区组中主小区的小区标识,以指示终端设备记录第二失败信息之前接收最后一次消息的源小区为主小区组中的主小区。
另一种可选的实施方式中,终端设备按照目前协议中的记录方式,将第二指示信息中的previous PCell ID记录为辅小区组中辅小区的小区标识,并新增信元,比如新增源实际主小区的小区标识(previous Actual PCell Id),且将previous Actual PCell Id记录为主小区组中主小区的小区标识。也就是说,终端设备通过previous PCell ID指示终端设备记录第二失败信息之前最后一次接收的消息是从辅小组中辅小区接收的,且通过previous Actual PCell Id指示终端设备记录第二失败信息之前最后一次接收的消息实际来源于主小区组中主小区。
该方式中,终端设备可在第二指示信息中通过上述两种方式灵活指示终端设备记录第二失败信息之前最后一次接收的第一响应消息来自于主小区组中的主小区。
一种可选的实施方式中,第一网络设备接收到失败报告后,还可将第一失败信息和失败报告关联。第一网络设备将第一失败信息和失败报告关联,可指第一网络设备采用相同的标识,对第一失败信息和失败报告进行标识,以使得后续分析终端设备发生无线链路失败的原因时,根据被标记有相同标识的第一失败信息和失败报告分析。
可选的,第一网络设备将第一失败信息和失败报告关联,也可指第一网络设备将第一失败信息记录在失败报告中,获得关联后的失败报告,或者将失败报告记录在第一失败信息中,获得关联后的失败信息, 后续第一网络设备基于关联后的失败报告或关联后的失败信息,分析终端设备发生无线链路失败的原因。
本申请实施例对第一网络设备将第一失败信息和失败报告关联的方式不作限定,即第一网络设备将第一失败信息和失败报告关联的方式包括但不限于上述两种方式。
一种可选的实施方式中,第一失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应信息接入第一小区或第二小区失败,表明终端设备未成功接入第一小区或第二小区,终端设备的服务小区未发生变化,那么终端设备的小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,RNTI)仍然是主小区的RNTI。因此,终端设备可基于第一失败信息和失败报告中携带相同的RNTI,以及失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告的原则,将第一失败信息和失败报告关联。
也就是说,第二失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区失败时,失败报告携带的小区无线网络临时标识和第一失败信息携带的小区无线网络临时标识相同,且失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告。
另一种可选的实施方式中,第二失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败,表明终端设备根据第一响应信息曾接入第一小区或第二小区成功,那么终端设备的服务小区发生了变化,即终端设备的RNTI也发生了变化。然而,终端设备的第一条件切换配置信息未发生变化,第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区未发生变化,那么终端设备可基于失败报告中携带的候选小区的小区标识所对应的小区是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,以及失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告的原则将第一失败信息和失败报告关联。
也就是说,第二失败信息包括终端设备根据第一响应消息接入第一小区或第二小区成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败时,失败报告携带的候选小区标识所对应的小区是第一失败信息中第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,且失败报告是与第一失败信息的记录时间最接近的失败报告。
第一网络设备将第一失败信息和失败报告关联,可使得第一网络设备基于关联后的信息优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息。例如,第一失败信息包括的终端设备与第一网络设备发生无线链路失败的原因是终端设备太晚向第三小区进行CHO导致,失败报告携带的第二失败信息包括终端设备根据响应信息接入第一小区失败,第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区包括小区a、小区b、小区c。如果第一小区和第三小区均是小区a,表明小区a可能是第一网络设备配置的不合理的候选小区,那么第一网络设备在优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息时,可将小区a从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中删除。如果第三小区是小区a,第一小区是小区c,表明第一条件切换配置信息配置的小区a的CHO触发条件可能不合理,导致终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的信号质量较差时,仍未触发向小区a进行CHO,从而第一网络设备可修改第一条件切换配置信息中小区a的CHO触发条件。另外,小区c可能不是合理的候选小区,可将小区c从第一条件切换配置信息中删除。
一种可选的实施方式中,第二网络设备还可统计第二时延和第三时延。其中,第二时延为第二网络设备与第一网络设备交互第一失败信息和第一响应信息的站间交互平均时延,或者为第二网络设备与第一网络设备的站间交互平均时延。也就是说,第二时延可以是从第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一失败消息,或者是辅站添加/修改/释放/变更请求信息到接收到来自第二网络设备的第一响应信息,或者是辅站添加/修改/释放/变更请求确认消息之间的时间差。第三时延为第二网络设备与终端设备交互第一失败信息和第一响应信息的空口交互平均时延,或者为第二网络设备与终端设备的空口交互平均时延,空口交互平均时延分为上行时延和下行时延。上行时延包括两段,如D1段和D2段,该D1段是终端设备上报的,D2段是第二网络设备统计的。
第二时延可理解为是从第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一失败信息,到收到来自于第一网络设备的第一响应信息之间的时间差,或者可理解为是从第一网络设备发送消息,该消息包括但不限于辅站添加/修改/释放/变更请求信息,到接收到来自于第二网络设备的对应响应信息之间的时间差。第三时延可理解为是从终端设备向第二网络设备发送第一失败信息,到第二网络设备接收到该第一失败信息的时间差,或者可以理解为是从第二网络设备向终端设备发送第一响应信息,到终端设备接收到该第一响应信息的时间差,也可以是终端设备与第二网络设备控制面信令的上行时延和下行时延,可以直接采纳已有的用户面数据包的上行时延和下行时延结果,即每个终端设备的每个数据无线承载的粒度的时延统计结果。也可以参考用户面数据包的统计方式,按照每个终端设备的每个信令无线承载的粒度统计控制面信令的上行时延和下行时延。
该方式中,第二网络设备统计了第二时延和第三时延,从而第二网络设备可获知第二时延测量信息和第三时延测量信息,从而有利于第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第二时延测量信息和第三时延测量信息, 进而有利于第一网络设备在终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败时,分别基于第二时延测量信息中的第二时延和第三时延测量信息中的第三时延,确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因。例如,若第二时延大于第一预设值,则第一网络设备确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因可能是第二时延过大造成的。再例如,若第三时延大于第二预设值,则第一网络设备确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因可能是第三时延过大造成的。
第一网络设备获得第二时延测量信息和/或第三时延测量信息后,根据第二时延测量信息和/或第三时延测量信息,合理配置T316门限,以减少终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的概率。
以下以第一网络设备是终端设备的源MN,第二网络设备是终端设备的SN,第三网络设备是和第四网络设备均是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区所属的网络设备,分别是MN-A1、MN-A2,详细介绍通信方法100中终端设备、源MN、SN、MN-A1、MN-A1之间的交互过程。图7是终端设备、源MN、SN、MN-A1、MN-A1之间的交互流程图。如图7所示,终端设备、源MN、SN、MN-A1、MN-A1之间的交互包括以下步骤:
S11:源MN与SN交互快速恢复(fast recovery)流程。
MN可通过split SRB1或者SRB3与SN交互fast recovery流程,该fast recovery流程是指终端设备与源MN之间发生无线链路失败后,终端设备可通过SN与源MN进行交互。
S12:源MN向终端设备配置fast recovery流程。
MN向终端设备配置fast recovery流程,即向终端设备发送fast recovery reconfiguration信息,以使得终端设备后续可进行fast recovery流程,即终端设备在与源MN之间发生无线链路失败后,可通过SN与源MN之间进行信息的交互。
S13:源MN分别与MN-A1、MN-A2交互切换流程(handover procedure),即源MN分别向MN-A1、MN-A2发送切换请求,以请求终端设备可向MN-A1和MN-A1做条件切换,源MN收到MN-A1、MN-A2分别发送的确认信息后,表明终端设备后续可向MN-A1和MN-A1做条件切换。
S14:源MN向终端设备发送RRC重配置信息,以通过RRC重配置信息向终端设备配置第一条件切换配置信息。该第一条件切换配置信息包括MN-A2和MN-A3所属的小区标识,以及MN-A2和MN-A3所属的小区分别对应的CHO触发条件。
S15:终端设备检测到与源MN之间发生无线链路失败,即与MCG发生无线链路失败(MCG RLF)。终端设备与源MN之间发生无线链路失败可能是由于终端设备过晚进行CHO导致的。
S161:终端设备向SN发送MCG failure information(即第一失败信息)。相应的,SN向源MN转发MCG failure information。
该MCG failure information包括第一条件切换配置信息。可选的,MCG failure information不包括第一条件切换配置信息。
S162:源MN向SN发送RRC重配置消息(即第一响应消息),该RRC重配置消息包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识。相应的,SN将该RRC重配置消息转发给终端设备,终端设备接收来自SN的RRC重配置信息。
可选的,该RRC重配置消息不包括第一指示信息或第一小区的小区标识,包括legacy HO CMD或legacy RRC release。
其中,legacy HO CMD是源MN选择合适的小区发起切换请求,目标MN响应该切换请求后,源MN向终端设备发送的切换命令。从而终端设备基于切换命令,执行切换和数据转发。
legacy RRC release是源MN向终端设备发送的RRC连接释放信息。终端设备接收到该legacy RRC release后,进行小区重选,确认存在符合小区重选条件的新小区后,终端设备尝试驻留到该新小区。
终端设备接收到来自源MN的RRC重配置消息,则表明终端设备进行fast recovery流程成功。
S17:终端设备根据该RRC重配置信息向MN-A1接入失败,或者向MN-A1接入成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败。MN-A1是第一小区,或者是基于第一指示信息在第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择的接入小区。也就是说,终端设备根据RRC重配置信息未成接入目标小区。
S18:终端设备进行RRC连接重建立,且与MN-A2进行RRC连接重建立成功。
可选的,终端设备记录根据RRC重配置信息向MN-A1接入失败,或者向MN-A1接入成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败的第二失败信息,并通过MN-A2向源MN上报失败报告,失败报告包括第二失败信息。
可选的,第二失败信息还包括第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于指示终端设备根据第一响应消息未成 功接入的小区是否为第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,即指示终端设备接入失败的小区,或者接入成功且在预设时长内发生无线链路失败的小区,是否为第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区。
也就是说,终端设备还可通过失败报告向第一网络设备上报接入失败的小区是否为第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,从而有利于第一网络设备确定第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区是否为合适的小区,或者确定第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区的CHO触发条件是否合适。
一种可选的实施方式中,第一失败信息记录的previous PCell ID为源MN所属的主小区的小区标识。可选的,第一失败信息记录的previous PCell ID为SN所属的辅小区的小区标识,且第一失败信息还记录previous Actual PCell Id,且将previous Actual PCell Id记录为源MN所属的主小区的小区标识。
一种可选的实施方式中,源MN将第一失败信息和失败报告关联,其关联方式可参见上述S104中所述,不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败时,可以在进行与第一网络设备之间的无线链路恢复时,接收用于指示从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区的第一指示信息,或者接收从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择的第一小区的小区标识,从而,终端设备可及时接入第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,有利于快速恢复终端设备与主小区组之间的无线链路。
另外,终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败之后,向第一网络设备上报的第一失败信息包括第一条件切换配置信息,有利于第一网络设备后续基于第一失败信息优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息,可减少过晚条件切换发生的次数,从而可减少终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败概率。
实施例二
本申请实施例还提出一种通信方法200,图8是该通信方法200的交互示意图。该通信方法200也是从终端设备、第一网络设备、第二网络设备的交互角度进行阐述。该通信方法200包括但不限于以下步骤:
S201.终端设备如果与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败且第一定时器未超时,将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中。
其中,第一失败信息是终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败的信息,第三失败信息是终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的信息。第一定时器是终端设备在检测到与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败时开启的。第一定时器的运行时长可以是第一网络设备为终端设备配置的,或者,也可以是终端设备自行预先设定的。
第一失败信息包括终端设备与第一网络设备发生无线链路失败的相关信息,即第一失败信息包括但不限于上述RLF report中的相关参数。可选的,第一失败信息还可包括第一条件切换配置信息。该第一条件切换配置信息是第一网络设备为终端设备配置的,且用于进行条件切换的相关信息。第一失败信息包括第一条件切换配置信息时,有利于第一网络设备后续优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息。
第三失败信息包括终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的相关信息,即第三失败信息也包括但不限于上述RLF report中的相关参数。
可选的,第三失败信息还可包括以下一种或多种:指示终端设备是否执行快速链路恢复失败的指示信息、第三定时器的超时原因、辅小区组发生无线链路失败的原因、辅小区组去激活。第三定时器是T316定时器。
第三失败信息包括以上一种或多种时,有利于第一网络设备接收到该第三失败信息后,基于第三失败信息的内容,确定终端设备执行快速链路恢复失败的原因。
终端设备在检测到与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败时,即与MCG之间的无线链路发生无线链路失败时,开启第一定时器,并进行与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复。终端设备进行与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复,是指终端设备通过第二网络设备向第一网络设备上报与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败时的第一失败信息,第一网络设备接收到第一失败信息后,通过第二网络设备向终端设备转发第一响应信息,终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的第一响应信息。
第一响应信息可为以下信息中的一种:第一指示信息、第一小区的小区标识、legacy HO CMD、legacy RRC release。第一指示信息用于指示终端设备从第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中选择接入的小区和/或条件切换配置标识。第一小区是终端设备的待切换小区且是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中 的小区和/或是条件切换配置标识对应的第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区,该待切换小区也是目标切换小区。
第一指示信息、第一小区的小区标识、legacy HO CMD、legacy RRC release均可参见上述通信方法100,不再赘述。
终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复,是指上述fast MCG link recovery流程,其具体过程不再赘述。终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败,可能是终端设备未成功向第一网络设备发送第一失败信息,或者是终端设备未接收到来自第一网络设备的第一响应信息。其中,终端设备未成功向第一网络设备发送第一失败信息,可能是终端设备未成功向第二网络设备发送第一失败信息,因此第二网络设备无法向第一网络设备转发第一失败信息,或者可能是终端设备向第二网络设备成功发送了第一失败信息,但第二网络设备未成功向第一网络设备转发第一失败信息。终端设备未接收到来自第一网络设备的第一响应信息,可能是第一网络设备未成功向第二网络设备发送第一响应信息,从而第二设备无法向终端设备转发第一响应信息,也可能是第一网络设备向第二网络设备成功发送了第一响应信息,但第二网络设备未成功向终端设备转发第一响应信息,因此终端设备未接收到第一响应信息。
如果在第一定时器计时期间,终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败,表明与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败,和终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败存在较大关联的可能性,因此将第一失败信息和第二失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告(即第一无线链路失败报告)中,以有利于第一网络设备可基于第一无线链路失败报告联合分析终端设备与第一网络设备发生无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因。
该方式与终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败时,将终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败的第一失败信息丢弃相比,有利于保障失败信息记录的完整性,进而有利于提高第一网络设备进行相关原因分析的可靠性。
终端设备将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中时,为区分第一失败信息和第三失败信息,可以是用不同的标识在第一无线链路失败报告中记录第一失败信息和第三失败信息。
示例性的,第一无线链路失败报告中记录的第一失败信息包括:first failed PCell Id、first connection Failure Type、first previous PCell Id、first rlf-Cause等等,第一无线链路失败报告中记录的第三失败信息包括:second failed PCell Id、second connection Failure Type、second previous PCell Id、second rlf-Cause等等。可见,第一无线链路失败报告中通过first和second的标识可区分第一失败信息和第三失败信息。
S202.终端设备如果与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败且第一定时器超时,将第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,以及将第三失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中。
终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败后,开启第一定时器,且进行与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复。如果第一定时器超时,终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败,表明终端设备是在与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败之后的较长时间后,才与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败,可能终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因和终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败的原因关联性较小,因此终端设备分开记录第一失败信息和第三失败信息,即将第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,将第三失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中。
该方式中,终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败时,将第三失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告的同时,也将第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,未将第一失败信息丢弃,从而也可保障失败信息的完整性,进而有利于提高第一网络设备进行相关原因分析的可靠性。
S201或S202之后,终端设备进行小区选择,当终端设备选择的小区是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区时,终端设备进行基于条件切换的恢复(CHO based recovery),即向选择的小区接入。如果终端设备向选择的小区接入成功,则该接入的小区所属的网络设备为第四网络设备。也就是说,第四网络设备是终端设备检测到与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,且与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败后接入成功的网络设备。
如果终端设备将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中,终端设备还可向第四网络设备发送第一无线链路失败报告。相应的,第四网络设备将第一无线链路失败报告转发给第一网络设备,第一网络设备获得第一无线链路失败报告。从而第一网络设备可根据第一无线链路失败报告联合分析终端设备与第一网络设备发生无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因。
如果终端设备将第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,将第三失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中,那么终端设备还可向第四网络设备发送第二无线链路失败报告或第三无线链路失败报告。可理解的,终端设备发送的无线链路失败报告是终端设备保存的最新的无线链路失败报告,即若终端设备保存的最新的无线链路失败报告为第二无线链路失败报告,则向第四网络设备发送第二无线链路失败报告,若终端设备保存的最新的无线链路失败报告为第三无线链路失败报告,则向第四网络设备发送第三无线链路失败报告。
相应的,第四网络设备将第二无线链路失败报告或第三无线链路失败报告转发给第一网络设备。从而第一网络设备可根据第二无线链路失败报告或第三无线链路失败报告分析终端设备与第一网络设备发生无线链路失败的原因、与第一网络设备进行快速链路恢复失败的原因。
另一种可选的实施方式中,终端设备在利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败时,根据第二定时器确定第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息的记录方式。
其中,第三小区是终端设备检测到与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败后通过小区选择获得的且是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区。第四失败信息是终端设备利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败的信息,第四失败信息包括但不限于上述RLF report中包括的相关参数。第二定时器是终端设备在检测到与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败时开启的。第二定时器的运行时长可以是第一网络设备为终端设备配置的,或者,也可以是终端设备预先设定的。
也就是说,终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败时,开启第二定时器,并进行小区选择。如果终端设备选择的第三小区是第一条件切换配置的小区,进行基于条件切换的恢复。终端设备在第二定时器计时期间,在利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败时,根据第二定时器是否超时,确定第一失败信息、第三失败信息、第四失败信息的记录方式。
以下根据第一失败信息和第二失败实现的记录方式,阐述终端设备根据第二定时器确定第一失败信息、第三失败信息、第四失败信息的记录方式:
情况1:第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中时,第一失败信息、第三失败信息、第四失败信息的记录方式。
第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中时,终端设备根据第二定时器确定第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息的记录方式,包括:如果第二定时器未超时,将第四失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中;如果第二定时超时,将第四失败信息记录在第四无线链路失败报告中。
如果第二定时器未超时,表明终端设备利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败的原因可能与第一失败信息和第三失败信息存在关联,因此终端设备将第一失败信息、第三失败信息、第四失败信息均记录在第一无线链路失败报告中。如果第二定时器超时,终端设备利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败,表明终端设备利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败的原因可能与第一失败信息和第三失败信息之间的关联性较弱,因此终端设备将第四失败信息单独记录在第四无线链路失败报告中。
终端设备将第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息均记录在第一无线链路失败报告中时,可采用不同的标识对第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息进行区分。例如,第一无线链路失败报告中记录的第一失败信息包括:first failed PCell Id、first connection Failure Type、first previous PCell Id、first rlf-Cause等等,第一无线链路失败报告中记录的第三失败信息包括:second failed PCell Id、second connection Failure Type、second previous PCell Id、second rlf-Cause,第一无线链路失败报告中记录的第四失败信息包括:third failed PCell Id、third connection Failure Type、third previous PCell Id、second rlf-Cause等等。
如果终端设备将第一失败信息、第三失败信息、第四失败信息均记录在第一无线链路失败报告中,终端设备还可向第三网络设备发送第一无线链路失败报告。相应的,第三网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一无线链路失败报告。第一网络设备接收来自第三网络设备的第一无线链路失败报告,并根据第一无线链路失败报告确定终端设备的第二条件切换配置信息。第三网络设备是终端设备进行基于条件切换的恢复失败后重新接入成功的网络设备。
终端设备根据第一无线链路失败报告确定终端设备的第二条件切换配置信息,是指根据第一无线链路失败报告优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息,以减少终端设备与第一网络设备发生无线链路失败的概率,减少终端设备接入小区的概率,以及减少终端设备进行基于条件切换恢复失败的概率。
如果终端设备将第一失败信息和第二失败信息记录在第一无线链路失败报告中,将第四失败信息记录在第四无线链路失败报告中,终端设备还可向第三网络设备发送第一无线链路失败报告或第四无线链路失 败报告。终端设备发送的无线链路失败报告是该终端设备保存的最新的无线链路失败报告。相应的,第三网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一无线链路失败报告或第四无线链路失败报告。第一网络设备接收来自第三网络设备的第一无线链路失败报告或第四无线链路失败报告,并基于第一无线链路失败报告或第四无线链路失败报告确定终端设备的第二条件切换配置信息,即基于第一无线链路失败报告或第四无线链路失败报告优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息。
情况2:第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,第二失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中时,第一失败信息、第三失败信息、第四失败信息的记录方式。
终端设备根据第二定时器确定第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息的记录方式,包括:如果第二定时器未超时,将第四失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告或第三无线链路失败报告中;如果第二定时器超时,将第四失败信息记录在第四无线链路失败报告中。
如果终端设备将第一失败信息和第四失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,将第三失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中,或者将第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败信息中,将第三失败信息和第四失败信息记录在第三无线链路中,终端设备还可向第三网络设备发送第二无线链路失败报告或第三无线链路失败报告。相应的,第三网络设备向第一网络设备发送第二无线链路失败报告或第三无线链路失败报告。第一网络设备接收来自第三网络设备的第二无线链路失败报告或第三无线链路失败报告,并根据接收的无线链路失败报告确定终端设备的第二条件切换配置信息,即优化终端设备的条件切换配置信息。
如果终端设备将第一失败信息记录在第二无线链路失败报告中,将第三失败信息记录在第三无线链路失败报告中,将第四失败信息记录在第四无线链路失败报告中,终端设备还可向第三网络设备发送第二无线链路失败报告,或者,发送第三无线链路失败报告,或者,发送第四无线链路失败报告。此处终端设备发送的无线链路失败报告也是该终端设备保存的最新的无线链路失败报告。相应的,第三网络设备向第一网络设备发送第二无线链路失败报告,或者,发送第三无线链路失败报告,或者发送第四无线链路失败报告。第一网络设备接收来自第三网络设备的第二无线链路失败报告,或者,接收第三无线链路失败报告,或者,接收第四无线链路失败报告,并根据接收的无线链路失败报告确定终端设备的第二条件切换配置信息。
本申请实施例中,不论终端设备对第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息如何记录,均可采用first、second、third分别对第一失败信息、第三失败信息和第四失败信息中的信息进行标识。
终端设备将多个失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中,即可将多个失败信息关联在同一个无线链路失败报告中,以使得第一网络设备基于同一个无线链路失败报告中的多个失败信息,联合分析终端设备出现无线链路失败的原因,比如分析终端设备连续几次发生无线链路失败的原因是否均是由于终端设备的第一条件切换配置信息的不合理造成的。另外,目前终端设备在当前无线链路失败后,记录当前的失败信息时,清空之前记录的失败信息或无线链路失败报告的方式,会使得第一网络设备无法获得终端设备发生多次无线链路失败时每一次记录的失败信息或无线链路失败报告。因此,本申请实施例中,终端设备将无线链路失败时的多个失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中,可保证终端设备发生多次无线链路失败时每次的失败信息,即可保证无线链路失败时失败信息的完整性,进而可提高第一网络设备分析终端设备发生无线链路失败原因的可靠性。
S201或S202之后,终端设备进行小区选择,当终端设备选择的小区不是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区时,或者,终端设备利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败时,终端设备进行RRC连接重建立。
以下以第一网络设备是终端设备的源MN,第二网络设备是终端设备的SN,第三网络设备是和第四网络设备均是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区所属的网络设备,分别是MN-A1、MN-A2,详细介绍通信方法200中终端设备、源MN、SN、MN-A1、MN-A1之间的交互过程。图9是终端设备、源MN、SN、MN-A1、MN-A1之间的交互流程图。如图9所示,终端设备、源MN、SN、MN-A1、MN-A1之间的交互包括以下步骤:
S21:源MN与SN交互快速恢复(fast recovery)流程。
S22:源MN向终端设备配置fast recovery流程。
S23:源MN分别与MN-A1、MN-A2交互切换流程(handover procedure),即源MN分别向MN-A1、MN-A2发送切换请求,以请求终端设备可向MN-A1和MN-A1做条件切换,源MN收到MN-A1、MN-A2分别发送的确认信息后,表明终端设备后续可向MN-A1和MN-A1做条件切换。
S24:源MN向终端设备发送RRC重配置信息,以通过RRC重配置信息向终端设备配置第一条件切换配置信息。
S25:终端设备检测到与源MN之间发生无线链路失败,即与MCG发生无线链路失败(MCG RLF)。
S21至S25可参见上述S11至S15的实施方式,不再赘述。
S26:终端设备与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败。
终端设备与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败,可指:终端设备在T316超期前未收到第一响应消息。终端设备执行快速链路恢复(fast recovery)失败最表面的原因是T316超期。进一步的,T316超期的原因可以细化为以下一种或多种:SCG去激活,SCG无线链路失败,空口和站间交互时延太大。
站间交互时延包括上述通信方法100中的第一时延、第二时延和第三时延。站间交互时延可以由源MN(即第一网络设备)统计,也可以由SN(即第二网络设备)统计。
可选的,SN还可统计从发送第一失败消息到接收第一响应消息的时间段,或者是SN与MN之间交互流程中如SN发送辅站添加/修改/释放/变更请求消息到从MN收到辅站添加/修改/释放/变更请求确认消息之间的时间差。
可选的,源MN还可统计从发送给SN的控制面消息到从SN接收到确认消息的时间段。例如,源MN统计源MN向SN发送添加/修改请求消息到从SN收到添加/修改确认消息的时间段。
如上述所述,SN可统计与终端设备交互的空口时延(即第三时延),该空口时延可分为上行时延和下行时延。可选的,上行时延和下行时延可以直接采纳用户面数据包的上行时延和下行时延,即按照每个终端设备的每个数据无线承载的粒度来进行时延统计。可选的,也可以参考用户面数据包的统计方式,按照每个终端设备的每个信令无线承载的粒度进行控制面信令上行时延和下行时延的统计。
对于用户面数据包的下行时延而言,下行时延包括PDCP层时延(比如CU-UP的时延)、F1-U时延、混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)传输或重传时延、RLC侧时延(比如处理时延)中的一种或多种。其中CU-UP的时延可以为:CU-UP通过NG-U收到数据包到把该数据包发送给CU-DU的时间段。对于用户面数据包的上行时延而言,上行时延包括上行终端侧时延D1和上行接入网侧时延D2两个过程,上行终端侧时延为终端设备侧的包数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)缓冲时延。该PDCP缓冲时延对应的时间段为终端设备从PDCP的上层收到数据包到得到了发送该数据包的上行授权,该时延也包括从终端设备发送调度请求或随机接入到得到上行授权的时延,即上行终端侧时延D1为终端设备接收到数据至向接入网设备发送数据的时长,终端侧时延由终端设备进行测量并上报给接入网设备。上行接入网侧时延D2包括HARQ传输或重传时延D2.1,RLC侧时延D2.2,F1口时延D2.3,以及PDCP重排序时延D2.4等。其中,D2.1可以定义为从终端设备发送数据包到接入网设备成功接收该数据包的时段,D2.2可以定义为从RLC服务数据单元(service data unit,SDU)的第一部分被正确接收到把该RLC SDU发送给PDCP层或CU的时段;D2.3可以定义为CU把一个数据包发送给分布单元(distributed unit,DU)到CU从DU收到该包的传输状态,再减去该包在DU侧的反馈时延,再除以2;D2.4可以定义为收到一个PDCP SDU到把该PDCP SDU发送给上层的时段。
源MN可通过上述统计的站间交互时延(比如,第一时延、第二时延和第三时延)测量信息确定终端设备执行fast recovery失败的原因。如果源MN确定终端设备执行fast recovery失败的原因是空口和站间交互时延过大,源MN可以获取到站间交互时延和空口交互时延测量信息,并根据时延测量信息合理配置T316门限,减少终端设备执行fast recovery失败的概率。
终端设备与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败的原因,可能是S261中终端设备未成功向源MN发送MCG failure information,或者也可能是S262中源MN未成功向终端设备发送第一响应信息。
终端设备在检测到与源MN之间发生无线链路失败时,开启第一定时器,在第一定时器计时期间,与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败,则将与源MN之间发生无线链路失败的第一失败信息和与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败的第三失败信息,记录在第一无线链路失败报告中。
如果第一定时器超时,终端设备则将第一失败信息和第三失败信息分别记录在第二无线链路失败报告、第三无线链路失败报告中。
第三失败信息包括以下一种或多种:指示终端设备是否执行快速链路恢复失败的指示信息、第三定时器的超时原因、辅小区组发生无线链路失败的原因、辅小区组去激活。
可理解的,第三失败信息包括以下一种或多种:指示终端设备是否执行过fast recovery,T316expiry cause(fast recovery failure cause),SCG rlf,SCG deactivated。其中,如果fast recovery failure cause是SCG RLF,则第三失败信息记录了SCG RLF失败信息。
S271:终端设备利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复。
终端设备与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败后,进行小区选择,选择的小区是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区时,进行基于条件切换的恢复。从而第三小区是终端设备与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败后选择的小区,且是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区中的小区。
终端设备在与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败时,开启第二定时器,在第二定时器计时期间,利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复,则将进行基于条件切换的恢复失败的第四失败信息,和上述第一失败信息和/或第三失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中。如果第二定时器超时后,终端设备利用第三小区进行基于条件切换的恢复失败,则将进行基于条件切换的恢复失败的第四失败信息,与上述第一失败信息和第三失败信息分开记录,即记录在不同的无线链路失败报告中。
S272:终端设备进行RRC连接重建立。
终端设备与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败后,如果选择的小区不是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区,终端设备进行RRC连接重建立。或者,终端设备与源MN之间快速链路恢复失败后,如果选择的小区是第一条件切换配置信息配置的候选小区,则进行基于条件切换的恢复,但进行基于条件切换的恢复失败,终端设备也进行RRC连接重建立。
本申请实施例中,终端设备如果与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败且第一定时器未超时,终端设备将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告(即第一无线链路失败报告)中,有利于第一网络设备根据第一无线链路失败报告联合分析终端设备与第一网络设备之间无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因,进而有利于减少终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败的概率,以及减少与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的概率。
终端设备如果与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败,以及与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败且第一定时器超时,表明终端设备与第一网络设备之间的无线链路失败和与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的关联性较弱,可将第一失败信息和第三失败信息分别记录在不同的无线链路失败报告中,以有利于第一网络设备根据第一失败信息或第三失败信息,分析终端设备与第一网络设备之间发生无线链路失败的原因,以及终端设备与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败的原因。
另外,与终端设备在与第一网络设备之间的快速链路恢复失败时,第一失败信息和第三失败信息如果分别记录在不同的无线链路失败报告里,最终只留下最新的无线链路失败报告,即记录第三失败信息的无线链路报告会覆盖掉包含第一失败信息的无线链路失败报告,终端设备将第一失败信息和第三失败信息记录在同一个无线链路失败报告中,可保证失败信息的记录完整性,从而有利于第一网络设备获得完整的无线链路失败信息。
