图1示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的双连接场景下的网络架构图。
如图1所示,在终端110同时连接第一基站120和第二基站130的情况下,第一基站120为主节点(Master Node,MN),第二基站130为辅节点(Secondary Node,SN),终端110首先接入作为主节点的第一基站120,然后根据需要添加作为辅节点的第二基站130。其中,主节点也称为“锚点”,作为主节点的第一基站120负责跟核心网140的控制面进行交互。
不论是第一基站120还是第二基站130,基站内部都支持多个载波/小区进行载波聚合。因此,对作为主节点的第一基站120的至少两个小区,称为主小区组(Master Cell Group,MCG)121,主小区组121中包含主小区(Primary Cell,Pcell)1211和多个辅小区 (Secondary Cell,Scell)1212。对作为辅节点的第二基站130的至少两个小区,称为辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group,SCG),辅小区组131包含主辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell,PSCell)1311,和多个辅小区1312。
下面针对四种双连接进行详细说明:
1、EN-DC场景:该连接方式中,用户终端同时连接E-UTRA基站和NR基站。其中,E-UTRA基站(也称为LTE基站)为主节点,NR基站为辅节点,主节点连接到演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC);
2、NGEN-DC场景:该连接方式中,用户终端同时连接E-UTRA基站和NR基站。其中,E-UTRA基站为主节点,NR基站为辅节点,主节点连接到5G核心网(5G Core Network,5CG);

4、NR-DC(New Radio Dual Connectivity with NR Connected to 5GC)场景:该连接方式中,用户终端同时连接两个NR基站,其中,一个NR基站为主节点,另一个NR基站为辅节点,主节点连接到5GC。
在相关协议中,RAN3已经完成网络接口信令交互相关的工作,以支持上述四种双连接场景下的SN RACH Report,然而对于RAN2来说,目前仅支持NR-DC场景下的SN RACH Report,尚不支持EN-DC、NGEN-DC和NE-DC场景下SN RACH Report。因此为解决EN-DC场景和NGEN-DC场景下支持SN RACH Report这一技术问题,本申请提供了随机接入报告方法,如下实施例所示。

通常来说,传统的通信系统支持的连接数有限,也易于实现,然而,随着通信技术的发展,移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信,还将支持例如,设备到设备(Device to Device,D2D)通信,机器到机器(Machine to Machine,M2M)通信,机器类型通信(Machine Type Communication,MTC),车辆间(Vehicle to Vehicle,V2V)通信以及车联网(Vehicle to Everything,V2X)系统等。本公开实施例也可以应用于这些通信系统。
