具体实施方式
为了便于理解，首先介绍本公开涉及的术语。
1、基于条件的切换(conditional handover，CHO)
网络设备提前为终端设备配置CHO切换命令，包括切换目标小区配置和切换触发条件。终端设备存储收到的CHO切换命令，进行无线资源管理(radio resource management，RRM)测量，判断切换条件是否满足。当切换触发条件得到满足时，终端设备向目标小区发起切换过程。
2、中继
终端设备可以不直接与网络设备连接而通过一个中继，比如中继终端设备实现与网络设备的通信。其中与网络设备没有连接的终端设备称为远端终端设备(remote UE)，提供中继功能的终端设备可以称为中继终端设备(relay UE)。
终端设备直接与网络设备连接称为直接链路(direct link)，终端设备通过中继终端设备与网络设备连接称为间接链路(indirect link)。
3、目标节点
切换命令或切换条件对应的目标小区或者目标中继。
4、人工智能(artificial intelligence，AI)
AI是研究使计算机来模拟人的某些思维过程和智能行为的学科。机器学习算法是目前人工智能技术最重要的实现方法之一。机器学习可以通过大量的训练数据获得模型，通过模型可以对事件进行预测。使用切换相关的大数据对AI模型进行训练，得到的AI模型可以基于终端设备的实时网络环境预测向某个小区进行切换的成功率或切换失败概率。
为了更好的理解本公开实施例公开的一种确定传输配置指示状态的方法，下面首先对本公开实施例适用的通信系统进行描述。
请参见图1，图1为本公开实施例提供的一种通信系统的架构示意图。该通信系统可包括但不限于一个网络设备和一个终端设备，图1所示的设备数量和形态仅用于举例并不构成对本公开实施例的限定，实际应用中可以包括两个或两个以上的网络设备，两个或两个以上的终端设备。图1所示的通信系统以包括一个网络设备11、一个终端设备12为例。
需要说明的是，本公开实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统。例如：长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、第五代(5th generation，5G)移动通信系统、5G新空口(new radio，NR)系统，或者其他未来的新型移动通信系统等。
本公开实施例中的网络设备11是网络侧的一种用于发射或接收信号的实体。例如，网络设备11可以为演进型基站(evolved NodeB，eNB)、传输点(transmission reception point，TRP)、NR系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB，gNB)、其他未来移动通信系统中的基站或无线保真(wireless fidelity，WiFi)系统中的接入节点等。本公开的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。本公开实施例提供的网络设备可以是由集中单元(central unit，CU)与分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)组成的，其中，CU也可以称为控制单元(control unit)，采用CU-DU的结构可以将网络设备，例如基站的协议层拆分开，部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制，剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中，由CU集中控制DU。
本公开实施例中的终端设备12是用户侧的一种用于接收或发射信号的实体，如手机。终端设备也可以称为终端设备(terminal)、用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端设备(mobile terminal，MT)等。终端设备可以是具备通信功能的汽车、智能汽车、手机(mobile phone)、穿戴式设备、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self-driving)中的无线终端设备、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备等等。本公开的实施例对终端设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
可以理解的是，本公开实施例描述的通信系统是为了更加清楚的说明本公开实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本公开实施例提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着系统架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本公开实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
本系统中，终端设备可以实现本公开图2至图5任一实施例所示的方法，网络设备可以实现本公开图6至图7实施例所示的方法。
可以理解的是，本公开实施例描述的通信系统是为了更加清楚的说明本公开实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本公开实施例提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着系统架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本公开实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
通常，传统的切换过程中，首先网络设备会根据终端设备的测量上报结果，向切换目标小区发送切 换请求，目标小区确认完成后，再给终端设备发送切换命令(reconfigurationwith sync)，携带一个目标小区的配置信息。终端设备收到切换命令后，向目标小区会发起切换过程。
为了提高切换的鲁棒性，提出了CHO，即网络设备可以提前为终端设备配置CHO切换命令，包括切换目标小区配置和切换触发条件，其中切换目标小区配置为目标小区提供的重配消息。终端设备存储收到的CHO切换命令，进行RRM测量，判断切换条件是否满足。当切换触发条件得到满足时，终端设备向目标小区发起切换过程。这样可以避免由于基站发送切换命令时机过晚而导致的无线链路切换失败，但是仍然存在由于网络设备配置的切换条件不合理而导致的无线链路切换失败的情况。
本公主要针对由于由于网络发送的切换命令过晚，或由于网络配置的切换条件不合理，而导致的切换失败的情况，提出一种路径切换的方法。终端设备可以在被触发路径切换时，在进行路径切换前先判断向目标节点的切换是否会满足预设的条件，在满足预设条件时，即可向网络设备发送向目标节点切换的辅助信息，从而使得网络设备可以为终端设备选择新的目标节点，或者对切换条件进行更新，从而避免终端设备执行路径切换失败。
请参见图2，图2是本公开实施例提供的一种路径切换的方法的流程示意图，该方法由终端设备执行。如图2所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤201，响应于被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换，确定预设条件的满足情况。
其中，在直接链路中，目标节点为切换命令或者满足的路径切换条件对应的目标小区；在间接链路中，目标节点为切换命令或者满足的路径切换条件对应的目标中继。
可选的，终端设备被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换，可能是终端设备接收到网络设备发送的切换到目标节点的路径切换命令；或者，也可能是终端设备根据信道测量结果，确定满足路径切换条件。
也就是说，终端设备在接收到网络设备发送的切换到目标节点的路径切换命令时，首先确定当前的网络环境是否满足预设条件；或者，终端设备在根据当前的信道测量结果确定满足路径切换条件时，首先判断当前的网络环境是否满足预设条件。
其中，预设条件，为用于表征切换至目标节点的切换过程是否会失败的条件。比如，切换成功的概率、切换失败的概率等等。另外，信道测量结果，用于表征目标节点当前的信道质量。举例来说，若目标节点为目标小区，则信道测量结果可以为目标小区的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)，或者为目标小区的参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)；或者，若目标节点为目标中继，则信道测量结果为侧行链路sidelink RSRP，或者为sidelink RSRQ等等，本公开对此不做限定。
可选的，终端设备可以根据当前的信道的测量结果，确定预设条件的满足情况；或者，也可以利用预先训练生成的AI模型，来确定预设条件的满足情况等，本公开对此不做限定。
其中，路径切换，包括从直接链路切换到直接链路，或者从直接链路切换到间接链路，或者从间接链路切换到直接链路，或者从间接链路切换到直接链路等等。
举例，终端设备当前在直接链路，收到的切换指令或者根据路径切换条件确定目标节点为目标中继，即被触发执行从直接链路切换到间接链路；或者，若终端设备当前在间接链路，收到的切换指令或者根据路径切换条件确定目标节点为目标小区，即被触发执行从间接链路切换到直接链路。
步骤202，响应于预设条件满足，向网络设备发送第一指示信息，其中，第一指示信息用于指示向目标节点切换的辅助信息。
可选的，预设条件满足包括确定向目标节点进行路径切换会发生失败。另外，第一指示信息中可以包括以下至少一项：目标节点标识，路径切换成功概率，路径切换失败概率，终端设备与目标节点间的信道测量结果，及路径切换失败指示信息。
其中，向目标节点进行路径切换会发生失败，可以为终端设备根据当前的信道测量结果确定的；或者，也可以为终端设备根据AI模型输出的结果，确定向目标节点进行路径切换时的失败概率大于一定阈值而确定的；或者也可以为终端设备根据AI模型输出的结果，确定向目标节点进行路径切换时的成功概率小于一定阈值而确定的；或者，还可以为向目标节点进行路径切换时的失败概率大于一定阈值、且向目标节点进行路径切换时的成功概率小于一定阈值而确定的等等，本公开对此不做限定。
可选的，终端设备可以在确定第一预设人工智能AI模型的输出值为预设值时，确定向所述目标节点进行路径切换会发生失败。其中，预设值为第一预设AI模型输出的用于指示切换结果为失败的值。
其中，第一预设AI模型，为预先生成的、用于预测终端设备向输入的目标节点标识对应的目标节 点进行路径切换时，是否会成功的模型。
可选的，终端设备通过将目标节点的标识、当前的信道测量结果、当前时刻之前预设时段内的信道测量结果及终端设备的位置信息，输入第一预设AI模型中，之后即可获取第一AI模型的输出值。
其中，当前的信道测量结果，可以包括终端设备与目标节点之间的当前的信道的测量结果，还可以包括终端设备与其余节点之间的当前的信道测量结果。另外，为了更加准确的评估当前的信道测量结果是否适合进行路径切换，终端设备还可以将当前时刻预设时段内的信道测量结果输入第一预设AI模型。比如，将当前时刻之前的前10秒内的信道测量结果输入第一预设AI模型中，或者，将当前时刻之前的前两次的信道测量结果输入第一预设AI模型中等等，本公开对此不做限定。
或者，终端设备还可以在第二网络模型输出的概率值满足预设要求的情况下，确定向目标节点进行路径切换会发生失败。
其中，第二预设AI模型，为预先生成的、用于预测终端设备向输入的目标节点标识对应的目标节点进行路径切换时切换成功的概率值的模型，或者用于预测切换失败的概率值模型。
可选的，预设要求，可以为预设阈值。比如可以为切换失败的概率阈值，当第二预设AI模型输出的切换失败的概率值大于切换失败的概率阈值，则需要上报第一指示信息。或者，预设要求也可以为切换成功的概率阈值，当第二预设AI模型输出的切换成功的概率值小于切换成功的概率阈值，则需要上报第一指示信息等等，本公开对此不做限定。
本公开中，终端设备可以将目标节点的标识、当前的信道测量结果、当前时刻之前预设时段内的信道测量结果及终端设备的位置信息，输入第二预设AI模型，获取第二AI模型的输出的概率值。
可选的，终端设备可以根据协议约定，确定预设要求；或者也可以根据预置的配置信息确定预设要求；或者，还可以根据网络设备的指示确定预设要求，本公开对此不做限定。
另外，网络设备可以通过第一信息，为不同的目标节点配置不同的预设要求或者，为不同频率的节点配置不同的预设条件。
也就是说，终端设备可以根据网络设备发送的第一配置信息，确定与目标节点的标识和/或目标节点所在的频率关联的预设要求。
举例来说，网络设备发送的第一配置信息中指示了3个预设要求，其中，预设要求1对应频率范围A，预设要求2对应频率范围B，预设要求3对应频率范围C。从而终端设备在被触发要向目标节点N进行路径切换时，即可根据当前的信道测量结果及之前的信道测量结果等信息，利用第二预设AI模型预测确定切换失败的概率为x，由于目标节点N所在的频率范围为B，那么即可确定x是否满足预设要求2。若满足，则可以向网络设备发送第一指示信息。若不满足，则说明切换成功的概率较大，从而可直接向目标节点A进行路径切换。
本公开中，终端设备在向目标节点切换前，如果确定路径切换会发生失败，则先向网络设备发送第一指示信息，以辅助网络设备重新确定目标节点，或者更新切换条件配置，从而尽量避免了路径切换失败。
本公开中，终端设备在被触发向目标节点切换时，可以首先确定预设条件的满足情况，若满足预设条件，则可以向网络设备发送第一指示信息，以指示向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息。由此，通过向网络设备同步向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息，避免了路径切换失败，提高了通信系统的性能。
请参见图3，图3是本公开实施例提供的另一种路径切换的方法的流程示意图，该方法由终端设备执行。如图3所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：

步骤303，启动预设定时器。
可选的，终端设备可以在确定预设条件满足或确定已发送所述第一指示信息时，启动预设定时器；
本公开中，为了避免终端设备上报第一指示信息失败，或者未能及时接收到网络设备发送的新的指示，而影响通信性能，终端设备可以在发送第一指示信息后，或者在确定预设条件满足时启动预设定时 器，以对路径切换等待时长进行定时控制。
步骤304，响应于预设定时器超时，向目标节点发起路径切换请求。
本公开中，在预设的定时器超时时，终端设备则可以确定第一指示信息发送失败，或者网络设备的新的指示信息接收失败，从而即可向目标节点发起路径切换请求，以将路径切换至目标节点。
其中，终端设备可以根据协议约定，确定预设定时器的定时值；或者，根据预置的配置信息，确定预设定时器的定时值；或者，还可以根据网络设备的指示，确定预设定时器的定时值等等，本公开对此不作限定。
可选的，网络设备可以通过第二配置信息，为不同的目标节点配置不同的定时器，或者为不同的频率配置不同的定时器。也就是说，终端设备可以根据网络设备发送的第二配置信息，确定与目标节点的标识和/或所述目标节点所在的频率关联的预设定时器。
举例来说，网络设备发送的第二配置信息中配置了2个定时器，其中，定时器1对应频率范围A，定时器2对应频率范围B。从而终端设备在被触发要向目标节点N进行路径切换、且目标节点N在频率范围内A，此时若终端设备确定满足预设条件，则启动定时器1。之后，在定时器1超时时，即可向目标节点N发起路径切换请求。
可选的，终端设备也可以在接收到网络设备发送的无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)重配消息时，停止预设定时器。
其中，该RRC重配消息，可能为网络设备发送的包含新的目标节点的切换指令，或者也可能为网络设备发送的包含新的切换条件配置的信息，本公开对此不作限定。
终端设备在接收到该RRC重配消息后，即可基于该RRC重配消息进行路径切换，同时停止预设定时器。
本公开中，终端设备在被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换后，首先确定预设条件的满足情况，在确定预设条件满足时，向网络设备发送用于指示向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息，同时启动预设定时器，在预设定时器超时时，再向目标节点发起路径切换请求。由此，通过向网络设备同步向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息，不仅避免了路径切换失败，而且在预设时间内即启动路径切换，避免了无效等待，提高了通信系统性能。
请参见图4，图4是本公开实施例提供的另一种路径切换的方法的流程示意图，该方法由终端设备执行。如图4所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：

步骤402，响应于预设条件满足，向网络设备发送第一指示信息，其中，所述第一指示信息用于指示向所述目标节点切换的辅助信息。
其中，上述步骤401及402的具体实现过程，可以参照本公开任一实施例的详细描述，此处不再赘述。
步骤403，停止对切换条件的评估。
其中，切换条件为网络设备预先配置的可以触发进行路径切换的条件。比如，信道质量条件、终端设备与节点间的距离条件，时间条件等等。
本公开中为了避免终端设备的资源浪费，可以在向网络设备发送了第一指示信息的情况下，停止对切换条件的评估。
可选的，终端设备也可以在确定预设条件满足的情况下，即停止对切换条件的评估，同时再向网络设备发送第一指示信息，本公开对此不做限定。
本公开中，终端设备在被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换时，首先确定预设条件的满足情况，若确定预设条件满足，则可以向网络设备发送指示向目标节点切换的辅助信息，并停止对切换条件的评估。由此，通过向网络设备同步向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息并停止无效的切换条件评估，不仅避免了路径切换失败，而且避免了资源浪费，提高了通信系统性能。
请参见图5，图5是本公开实施例提供的又一种路径的切换方法的流程示意图，该方法由终端设备执行。如图5所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤501，接收网络设备发送的第二指示信息。
步骤502，根据第二指示信息，确定是否发送第一指示信息。
也就是说，网络设备可以向终端设备指示是否允许终端设备在被触发向目标节点进行路径切换、且满足预设条件时是否上报第一指示信息。
可选的，终端设备可以根据第二指示信息中的预设域的值，确定是否可以发送第一指示信息。比如，第二指示信息中预设域的值为1则可以发送，预设域的值为0则不能发送等等。
可选的，第二指示信息，可以仅向终端设备指示在向任何目标节点进行路径切换、且满足预设条件的情况下是否允许上报第一指示信息；或者，也可以向终端设备指示在向不同的目标节点进行路径切换、且满足预设条件的情况下是否允许上报第一指示信息。
从而，终端设备可以根据第二指示信息中与所述目标节点关联的上报配置信息，确定是否发送第一指示信息。
举例来说，第二指示信息中包括节点M关联的上报配置信息1、节点N关联的上报配置信息2及节点L关联的上报配置信息3。那么终端设备在向节点L进行路径切换时，即可根据上报配置信息3来确定满足预设条件的情况下，是否可以发送第一指示信息。
步骤503，响应于被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换，确定预设条件的满足情况。
其中，步骤503，可以与步骤501及502同时执行；或者也可以在步骤502之前执行，本公开对此不做限定。
步骤504，响应于预设条件满足、且第二指示信息指示发送第一指示信息，向网络设备发送第一指示信息。
其中，所述第一指示信息用于指示向所述目标节点的切换辅助信息。
步骤505，响应于预设条件未满足，启动向目标节点的路径切换过程。
上述步骤503至505的具体实现方式，可以参照本公开任一实施例的详细描述，此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是，若第二指示信息中指示再向目标节点进行路径切换、且满足预设条件的情况下，不允许发送第一指示信息，则终端设备可以在满足预设条件的情况下，直接启动向目标节点的路径切换；或者，依据其他的配置信息执行对应操作，本公开对此不做限定。
本公开中，终端设备首先接收网络设备发送的第二指示信息，并基于第二指示信息确定是否可以发送第一指示信息，之后在被触发向目标节点执行路径切换时，先确定预设条件的满足情况，若预设条件满足、且允许发送第一指示信息，则可以向网络设备发送第一指示信息。由此，通过根据网络设备的指示向其同步向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息，避免了路径切换失败，提高了通信系统性能。
请参见图6，图6是本公开实施例提供的又一种路径切换的方法的流程示意图，该方法由网络设备执行。如图6所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤601，接收终端设备发送的第一指示信息，其中所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端设备在被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换、且预设条件满足的情况下向所述目标节点切换的辅助信息。
本公开中，终端设备在被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换时，在预设条件满足的情况下，可以将用于指示向该目标节点切换的辅助信息发送给网络设备。从而网络设备即可根据该第一指示信息，确定向目标节点切换是否会成功，进而即可确定新的目标节点，或者为终端设备配置新的切换条件，从而避免了切换失败。
其中，目标节点，在直接链路中，目标节点为切换命令或者满足的路径切换条件对应的目标小区；在间接链路中，目标节点为切换命令或者满足的路径切换条件对应的目标中继。

其中，路径切换成功概率及路径切换失败概率，可以为终端设备基于当前的网络环境信息，比如信道测量结果、终端设备的位置信息等，利用预设的AI模型预测确定的。信道测量结果，用于表征目标节点当前的信道质量。举例来说，若目标节点为目标小区，则信道测量结果可以为目标小区的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)，或者为目标小区的参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)；或者，若目标节点为目标中继，则信道测量结果为 侧行链路sidelink RSRP，或者为sidelink RSRQ等等，本公开对此不做限定。
可选的，终端设备可能是在AI模型的输出结果满足预设要求的情况下，确定预设条件满足，从而发送第一指示信息。其中，预设要求，可以为网络设备向终端设备配置的，或者为预置在终端设备中的，或者为终端设备基于协议约定确定的。
也就是说，网络设备可以向终端设备发送第一配置信息，其中，第一配置信息用于向终端设备配置预设要求。
可选的，预设要求可以为阈值。第一配置信息中可以仅配置一个预设要求，从而终端设备即可在向任何目标节点进行路径切换时，只要确定满足该阈值，即向网络设备发送第一指示信息。
或者，第一配置信息中，也可以配置多个预设要求、且每个预设要求与不同的节点或者不同的频率关联，从而终端设备即可在向目标节点进行路径切换时，首先根据该第一配置信息，确定与目标节点的标识和/或目标节点所在的频率关联的阈值，进而仅在满足其关联的阈值时，才发送第一指示信息。
另外，为了避免终端设备向网络设备发送第一指示信息后，一直等待网络设备的指示，而影响通信性能，本公开中网络设备也可以向终端设备配置定时器，以使终端设备在定时器超时时，即停止等待，启动路径切换过程。
也就是说，网络设备可以向终端设备发送第二配置信息，其中，第二配置信息用于向终端设备配置预设定时器。
可选的，第二配置信息中可以仅用于配置一个预设定时器，即终端设备在向任何目标节点进行路径切换时，在预设条件满足的情况下或者发送了第一指示信息后，都基于该定时器来确定是否可以启动向路径切换过程。
或者，第二配置信息中，还可以用于配置多个定时器、且每个定时器与不同的节点或者不同的频率关联。从而终端设备即可在向目标节点进行路径切换时，首先根据该第二配置信息，确定与目标节点的标识和/或目标节点所在的频率关联的预设定时器，进而仅在预设定时器超时时，才启动向目标节点的路径切换过程。
本公开中，终端设备在被触发向目标节点切换、且预设条件满足的情况下，向网络设备发送第一指示信息，以指示向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息。由此，通过同步终端设备向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息，避免了路径切换失败，提高了通信系统的性能。

可选的，网络设备可以通过第二指示信息中的预设域的值，来指示是否可以发送第一指示信息。比如，第二指示信息中预设域的值为1则指示可以发送，预设域的值为0则指示不能发送等等。
可选的，第二指示信息，可以仅向终端设备指示在向任何目标节点进行路径切换、且满足预设条件的情况下是否允许上报第一指示信息；或者，也可以向终端设备指示在向不同的目标节点进行路径切换、且满足预设条件的情况下是否允许上报第一指示信息。
也就是说，第二指示信息中可以包含与目标节点关联的上报配置信息。从而终端设备可以根据第二指示信息中与所述目标节点关联的上报配置信息，确定是否发送第一指示信息。
步骤702，接收终端设备发送的第一指示信息。
其中第一指示信息为所述终端设备在被触发执行向目标节点的路径切换、预设条件满足、且第二指示信息指示允许发送第一指示信息的情况下发送的。其中，第一指示信息用于指示向目标节点切换的辅助信息。
其中，上述步骤702的具体实现方式，可以参照本公开任一实施例的详细描述，此处不再赘述。
本公开中，网络设备首先向终端设备发送第二指示信息以指示其是否可以上报第一指示信息，之后即可在其允许终端设备上报第一指示信息的情况下接收到终端设备发送的第一指示信息。由此，通过指示终端设备同步向目标节点进行切换的辅助信息，避免了路径切换失败，提高了通信系统性能。
