Description

指示信息发送、接收方法和装置、通信装置及存储介质 技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域，具体而言，涉及指示信息发送方法、指示信息接收方法、指示信息发送装置、指示信息接收装置、通信装置和计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
对于每种特性(feature)，网络侧可以配置专属随机接入资源，也可以称作无线接入信道(Random Access Channel，RACH)分区，以便网络侧可以根据终端进行随机接入所使用的随机接入资源尽早识别触发随机接入的特性。
例如对于CE(Coverage Enhancement，覆盖增强)这种特性，网络侧可以配置CE这个特性专属RACH分区，例如CE specific RACH(Random Access Channel，随机接入信道)。后续终端在CE特性触发随机接入时，可以使用CE specific RACH进行随机接入，从而网络侧可以根据终端进行随机接入所使用的CE specific RACH确定对应特性为CE，进而可以基于CE特性为终端进行合理的配置。
由于终端触发随机接入的特性多种多样，网络设备难以为每种特定都配置专属RACH分区，这会导致某种特性触发随机接入时，终端无法选择到对应的专属RACH分区来进行随机接入流程。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解，本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解，尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语第一、第二、第三等来描述各种信息，但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。例如，在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下，第一信息也可以被称为第二信息，类似地，第二信息也可以被称为第一信息。取决于语境，如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。
出于简洁和便于理解的目的，本文在表征大小关系时，所使用的术语为“大于”或“小于”、“高于”或“低于”。但对于本领域技术人员来说，可以理解：术语“大于”也涵盖了“大于等于”的含义，“小于”也涵盖了“小于等于”的含义；术语“高于”涵盖了“高于等于”的含义，“低于”也涵盖了“低于等于”的含义。
图1是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种指示信息发送方法的示意流程图。本实 施例所示的指示信息发送方法可以由终端执行，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。所述终端可以与网络设备通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G、5G、6G等通信系统中的网络设备，例如基站、核心网等。
如图1所示，所述指示信息发送方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S101中，向网络设备发送指示信息，其中，所述指示信息用于指示至少一个特性(包括单个特性和/或特性组合)的优先级。
在一个实施例中，所述特性包括用于触发随机接入的特性。
在一个实施例中，所述特性包括以下至少之一：
小数据传输SDT(Small Data Transmission)；
能力减持设备RedCap(Reduced Capability)；
无线接入网切片RAN Slicing；
增强覆盖CE(Coverage Enhancement)。
在一个实施例中，所述无线接入网切片对应特定特性(也即per feature)、或对应特定切片(也即per slice)、或对应特定切片群组(也即per slice group，也可以称作per NSAG)。
在一个实施例中，触发随机接入的特性可以有多种情况，例如可以由一种特性触发随机接入，例如CE触发随机接入、SDT触发随机接入；也可以由多种特性组合触发随机接入，例如CE+SDT触发随机接入、SDT+RedCap触发随机接入。
针对每种特性、特性组合，都可以配置专属RACH分区，但是由于资源有限，网络设备一般并不会针对每种特性、特性组合都配置专属RACH分区(资源)，这就会某种没有被配置专属RACH分区的特性或特性组合触发随机接入时，终端找不到对应的专属RACH分区发起随机接入，而使用传统(legacy)RACH资源发起随机接入，从而导致网络设备不能根据随机接入所使用的资源确定触发随机接入的特性。
例如网络设备为终端配置了两个特性专属RACH分区，分别对应CE以及RedCap+SDT，网络设备为终端配置了特性的优先级，例如为CE>SDT>RedCap>RAN Slicing，终端触发随机接入的特性为特性组合SDT+CE+RedCap。
在这种情况下，由于网络设备并没有为终端配置SDT+CE+RedCap的专属 RACH分区，因此终端只能选择根据SDT+CE+RedCap中网络设备所配置的最高优先级的特性对应的RACH分区进行随机接入，那么网络设备根据终端进行随机接入所使用的RACH分区，也只能确定触发随机接入的特性为CE，并不能确定触发随机接入的特性实际上为SDT+CE+RedCap，从而只针对CE特性做出适当的配置。
然而在某些情况下，SDT或RedCap特性对于终端而言更为重要，但是由于网络设备并不知道哪种特性对于终端而言更为重要，只针对CE特性做出适当的配置并不能良好地满足终端的需要。
根据本公开的实施例，终端可以向网络设备发送指示，通过指示信息指示特性的优先级，从而使得网络设备可以根据特性的优先级确定哪种特性对于终端而言更为重要，从而为终端做出适当的配置，例如在RACH分区有限的情况下，优先为终端配置优先级相对较高的特性的专属RACH分区，以便满足终端后续通信需要。
例如网络设备根据指示信息确定5种特性(或特性组合)的优先级为SDT+CE>CE+RedCap>RAN Slicing>CE>RedCap，在资源充足的情况下，网络设备可以针对这5种特性分别配置专属RACH分区，但是在资源有限的情况下，例如网络设备只能为终端配置2种特性的专属RACH分区，那么可以优先针对SDT+CE和CE+RedCap这两个优先级相对较高的特性组合配置的专属RACH分区，以便满足终端后续通信需要。
需要说明的是，指示信息所指示的特性的优先级，是用于辅助网络设备为终端配置RACH分区，并不能决定网络设备为终端配置RACH分区，具体为哪种特性、特性组合配置RACH分区，最终还是由网络设备决定。
另外，关于终端如何确定特性的优先级，可以根据需要设置策略。例如终端可以根据触发随机接入的特性的频率确定优先级，其中，频率与优先级正先关；例如终端可以根据特性对应业务的优先级确定特性的优先级，其中，特性对应业务的优先级与特性的优先级正相关。
在一个实施例中，所述终端包括以下至少之一：
支持至少一个所述特性的终端；
支持特定特性的终端；
支持随机接入分区的终端；
支持向所述网络设备指示所述优先级的终端。
本公开所有实施例中的终端，可以是支持至少一个所述特性的终端，例如支持任一个特性的终端；也可以是支持特定特性的终端，特定特性可以为单个特性或特性组合；也可以是支持支持随机接入分区的终端；还可以是支持向所述网络设备指示所述优先级的终端。
以下通过几个实施例对通过指示信息指示特性的优先级的方式进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中，所述指示信息包括以下至少之一：
所述特性的标识以及所述特性的优先级值，其中，所述优先级值用于指示所述标识对应特性的优先级；
按顺序排列的所述特性的标识，其中，所述顺序用于指示所述标识对应特性的优先级；
所述特性的标识，用于指示所述标识对应特性的优先级最高。
在一个实施例中，在指示信息包括特性的标识和特性的优先级值时，网络设备可以根据优先级值确定标识对应特性的优先级。
以SDT+CE和CE+RedCap这两种特性组合为例，例如SDT+CE对应的标识为A，CE+RedCap对应的标识为B，且标识A对应的优先级值为1，标识B对应的优先级值为0，那么可以确定标识A对应特性SDT+CE的优先级，高于标识B对应特性CE+RedCap的优先级。
在一个实施例中，在指示信息包括按顺序排列的特性的标识，网络设备可以根据标识的顺序确定标识对应特性的优先级。其中，标识的顺序并不需要显式指示，可以通过标识的排序隐式指示，也即网络设备根据标识排序的先后就能确定标识的顺序。
以SDT+CE和CE+RedCap这两种特性组合为例，例如SDT+CE对应的标识为A，CE+RedCap对应的标识为B，标识A和B的排序为A、B，也即A排在B前面，那么可以确定标识A对应特性SDT+CE的优先级，高于标识B对应特性CE+RedCap的优先级。
在一个实施例中，在指示信息仅包括特性的标识时，网络设备可以确定指示信息中的标识对应的特性的优先级最高。
例如存在多种特性、特性组合，指示信息中仅包含SDT+CE对应的标识，那么网络设备可以确定SDT+CE的优先级最高，也即高于其他特性、特性组合的优先级。至于其他特性、特性组合的优先级则可以根据具体情况确定。
在一个实施例中，所述特性包括以下至少之一：
所述终端支持的特性；
所述网络设备支持的特性；
触发随机接入的特性；
所选择的随机接入分区对应的特性；
所述网络设备配置了优先级的特性，其中，网络设备配置的特性的优先级，与本公开所有实施例中，指示信息所指示的特性的优先级可以是不同的，指示信息所指示的特性的优先级，是终端偏好(也可以称作期望、倾向)的优先级。
在一个实施例中，终端通过指示信息指示了优先级的特性，可以是终端所支持的特性，终端可以根据自身的实际情况确定；可以是网络设备所支持的特性，确定方式在后续实施例中说明；可以是触发随机接入的特性，终端可以在触发随机接入时确定触发随机的特性；可以是所选择的RACH分区对应的特性，终端可以在触发随机接入时，根据触发随机接入的特性选择RACH分区，进而确定选择的RACH分区对应的特性；可以是网络设备配置了优先级的特性，终端可以根据网络设备配置的特性的优先级确定。
以上特性可以单独作用，例如终端可以仅针对触发随机接入的特性确定优先级，进而生成指示信息指示所确定的优先级；以上特性也可以组合作用，例如终端可以确定触发随机接入的特性和网络设备配置了优先级的特性构成的集合(交集或并集)，然后针对集合中的特性确定优先级，进而生成指示信息指示所确定的优先级。
以下通过几个实施例对终端如何确定网络设备所支持的特性进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：根据所述网络设备发送的随机接入分区配置所关联的特性确定所述网络设备支持的特性。
网络设备可以向终端发送随机接入分区配置(例如时域资源、频域资源等)，而随机接入分区配置可以关联特性，例如可以是所关联的特性专属，那么终端可以确定随机接入分区配置关联的特性属于网络设备支持的特性。
例如网络设备为终端配置了SDT+CE对应的RACH资源以及CE+RedCap对应的RACH资源，那么终端可以确定SDT、CE、RedCap为网络设备支持的特性。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：根据所述网络设备发送的指示信令确定所述网络设备支持的特性。
网络设备可以通过指示信令指示网络设备所支持的特性，那么终端可以根据指示信息确定网络设备所支持的特性。
在一个实施例中，所述指示信息携带在以下至少之一中：
最小化路测MDT(Minimization Drive Test)记录；
终端辅助信息UEAssistanceInformation。
终端可以通过MDT记录携带指示信息上报至网络设备，也可以通过终端辅助信息携带指示信息上报至网络设备。以下针对通过MDT记录携带指示信息的方式进行展开说明。
在一个实施例中，所述指示信息携带在所述MDT记录中包括将所述指示信息记录到MDT报告变量中，其中，所述报告变量包括以下至少之一：
现有的(legacy，也可以译作传统的)报告变量；
现有的包含随机信息的报告变量；
独立的(独立于现有的，也即新增的)随机接入分区报告变量；
独立的报告变量。

进一步地，所述能力信息还可以指示所述网络设备是否支持将所述指示信息携带在MDT记录中上报给网络。网络设备可以在确定终端支持将所述指示信息携带在MDT记录中上报给网络的情况下，才从终端上报的MDT记录中获取所述指示信息。

图3是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种指示信息接收方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的指示信息接收方法可以由网络设备执行，所述网络设备可以与终端通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信系统中的基站，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。
如图3所示，所述指示信息接收方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S301中，接收终端发送的指示信息，其中，所述指示信息用于指示至少一个特性的优先级。
在一个实施例中，所述特性包括用于触发随机接入的特性。
在一个实施例中，所述特性包括以下至少之一：
小数据传输SDT；
能力减持设备RedCap；
无线接入网切片RAN Slicing；
增强覆盖CE。
在一个实施例中，所述无线接入网切片对应特定特性(也即per feature)、或对应特定切片(也即per slice)、或对应特定切片群组(也即per slice group，也可以称作per NSAG)。
在一个实施例中，触发随机接入的特性可以有多种情况，例如可以由一种特性触发随机接入，例如CE触发随机接入、SDT触发随机接入；也可以由多种特性组合触发随机接入，例如CE+SDT触发随机接入、SDT+RedCap触发随机接入。
针对每种特性、特性组合，都可以配置专属RACH分区，但是由于资源有限，网络设备一般并不会针对每种特性、特性组合都配置专属RACH分区(资源)，这就会某种没有被配置专属RACH分区的特性或特性组合触发随机接入时，终端找不到对应的专属RACH分区发起随机接入，而使用传统(legacy)RACH资源发起随机接入，从而导致网络设备不能根据随机接入所使用的资源确定触发随机接入的特性。
例如网络设备为终端配置了两个特性专属RACH分区，分别对应CE以及 RedCap+SDT，网络设备为终端配置了特性的优先级，例如为CE>SDT>RedCap>RAN Slicing，终端触发随机接入的特性为特性组合SDT+CE+RedCap。
在这种情况下，由于网络设备并没有为终端配置SDT+CE+RedCap的专属RACH分区，因此终端只能选择根据SDT+CE+RedCap中网络设备所配置的最高优先级的特性对应的RACH分区进行随机接入，那么网络设备根据终端进行随机接入所使用的RACH分区，也只能确定触发随机接入的特性为CE，并不能确定触发随机接入的特性实际上为SDT+CE+RedCap，从而只针对CE特性做出适当的配置。
然而在某些情况下，SDT或RedCap特性对于终端而言更为重要，但是由于网络设备并不知道哪种特性对于终端而言更为重要，只针对CE特性做出适当的配置并不能良好地满足终端的需要。
根据本公开的实施例，网络设备可以接收终端发送的指示信息，指示信息可以指示终端特性的优先级，据此，网络设备可以根据特性的优先级确定哪种特性对于终端而言更为重要，从而为终端做出适当的配置，例如在RACH分区有限的情况下，优先为终端配置优先级相对较高的特性的专属RACH分区，以便满足终端后续通信需要。
例如网络设备根据指示信息确定5种特性(或特性组合)的优先级为SDT+CE>CE+RedCap>RAN Slicing>CE>RedCap，在资源充足的情况下，网络设备可以针对这5种特性分别配置专属RACH分区，但是在资源有限的情况下，例如网络设备只能为终端配置2种特性的专属RACH分区，那么可以优先针对SDT+CE和CE+RedCap这两个优先级相对较高的特性组合配置的专属RACH分区，以便满足终端后续通信需要。
需要说明的是，指示信息所指示的特性的优先级，是用于辅助网络设备为终端配置RACH分区，并不能决定网络设备为终端配置RACH分区，具体为哪种特性、特性组合配置RACH分区，最终还是由网络设备决定。
在一个实施例中，所述终端包括以下至少之一：
支持至少一个所述特性的终端；
支持特定特性的终端；
支持随机接入分区的终端；
支持向所述网络设备指示所述优先级的终端。
本公开所有实施例中的终端，可以是支持至少一个所述特性的终端，例如支持任一个特性的终端；也可以是支持特定特性的终端，特定特性可以为单个特性或特性组合；也可以是支持支持随机接入分区的终端；还可以是支持向所述网络设备指示所述优先级的终端。
以下通过几个实施例对通过指示信息指示特性的优先级的方式进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中，所述指示信息包括以下至少之一：
所述特性的标识以及所述特性的优先级值，其中，所述优先级值用于指示所述标识对应特性的优先级；
按顺序排列的所述特性的标识，其中，所述顺序用于指示所述标识对应特性的优先级；
所述特性的标识，用于指示所述标识对应特性的优先级最高。
在一个实施例中，在指示信息包括特性的标识和特性的优先级值时，网络设备可以根据优先级值确定标识对应特性的优先级。
以SDT+CE和CE+RedCap这两种特性组合为例，例如SDT+CE对应的标识为A，CE+RedCap对应的标识为B，且标识A对应的优先级值为1，标识B对应的优先级值为0，那么可以确定标识A对应特性SDT+CE的优先级，高于标识B对应特性CE+RedCap的优先级。
在一个实施例中，在指示信息包括特性的标识以及标识的顺序时，网络设备可以根据标识的顺序确定标识对应特性的优先级。其中，标识的顺序并不需要显式指示，可以通过标识的排序隐式指示，也即网络设备根据标识排序的先后就能确定标识的顺序。
以SDT+CE和CE+RedCap这两种特性组合为例，例如SDT+CE对应的标识为A，CE+RedCap对应的标识为B，标识A和B的排序为A、B，也即A排在B前面，那么可以确定标识A对应特性SDT+CE的优先级，高于标识B对应特性CE+RedCap的优先级。
在一个实施例中，在指示信息仅包括特性的标识时，网络设备可以确定指示信息中的标识对应的特性的优先级最高。
例如存在多种特性、特性组合，指示信息中仅包含SDT+CE对应的标识，那么网络设备可以确定SDT+CE的优先级最高，也即高于其他特性、特性组合的优先级。至于其他特性、特性组合的优先级则可以根据具体情况确定。
在一个实施例中，所述特性包括以下至少之一：
所述终端支持的特性；
所述网络设备支持的特性；
触发随机接入的特性；
所选择的随机接入分区对应的特性；
所述网络设备配置了优先级的特性。
所述网络设备配置了优先级的特性，其中，网络设备配置的特性的优先级，与本公开所有实施例中，指示信息所指示的特性的优先级可以是不同的，指示信息所指示的特性的优先级，是终端偏好(也可以称作期望、倾向)的优先级。
在一个实施例中，指示信息指示了优先级的特性，可以是终端所支持的特性，终端可以根据自身的实际情况确定；可以是网络设备所支持的特性，确定方式在后续实施例中说明；可以是触发随机接入的特性，终端可以在触发随机接入时确定触发随机的特性；可以是所选择的RACH分区对应的特性，终端可以在触发随机接入时，根据触发随机接入的特性选择RACH分区，进而确定选择的RACH分区对应的特性；可以是网络设备配置了优先级的特性，终端可以根据网络设备配置的特性的优先级确定。
以上特性可以单独作用，例如终端可以仅针对触发随机接入的特性确定优先级，进而生成指示信息指示所确定的优先级；以上特性也可以组合作用，例如终端可以确定触发随机接入的特性和网络设备配置了优先级的特性构成的集合(交集或并集)，然后针对集合中的特性确定优先级，进而生成指示信息指示所确定的优先级。
以下通过几个实施例对终端如何确定网络设备所支持的特性进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：向所述终端发送随机接入分区配置所关联的特性，以供所述终端确定所述网络设备支持的特性。
网络设备可以向终端发送随机接入分区配置(例如时域资源、频域资源等)，而随机接入分区配置可以关联特性，例如可以是所关联的特性专属，那么终端可以确定随机接入分区配置关联的特性属于网络设备支持的特性。
例如网络设备为终端配置了SDT+CE对应的RACH资源以及CE+RedCap对应的RACH资源，那么终端可以确定SDT、CE、RedCap为网络设备支持的特性。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：向所述终端发送指示信令确定，以指示所述网络设备支持的特性。
网络设备可以通过指示信令指示网络设备所支持的特性，那么终端可以根据指示信息确定网络设备所支持的特性。
