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、IAB-node
IAB的中继节点,支持通过NR进行无线接入和回传。通过NR Uu接口的终端功能子集(称为IAB-node中的IAB移动终端(Mobile Termination,MT)功能)连接上游IAB-node或IAB-donor分布式单元(Distributed Unit,DU)。IAB-node通过NR Uu接口的网络功能(称为IAB-node的IAB-DU功能),提供到下游IAB-node和用户设备(user equipment,UE)的无线回传。也就是说一个IAB-done可以看做由一个IAB-MT及至少一个IAB-DU组成。
2、IAB-donor
网络侧NR回传的终止节点称为IAB-donor,是一个附加了IAB功能的网络设备。IAB-donor包括一个IAB-donor集中单元(central unit,CU)和一个或多个IAB-donor DU。
IAB-node和IAB-donor-CU之间的FI接口的控制面(F1C)业务通过IAB-donorDU和可选的中间跳IAB-node进行回传。IAB-node和IAB-donor-CU之间的F1接口的用户面(F1U)业务通过IAB-donorDU和可选的中间跳IAB-node进行回传。
3、IAB-node迁移
在支持IAB-node移动的场景中,比如车载移动IAB节点,随着IAB-node的移动改变,这样就需要执行IAB-node迁移(migration)过程,迁移过程包括两种,部分迁移partialmigration和完全迁移fullmigration。
部分迁移是指只有IAB-node上的IAB MT迁移(也可以称为切换)到一个新的IAB-donor,而IAB-node上的IAB DU还保持与原来的IAB-donor连接,即IAB DU上的UE上下文也保存在原来的IAB-donor上。完全迁移是指IAB-node上的IAB MT迁移(也可以称为切换)到一个新的IAB-donor,并且IAB-node上的IAB DU也迁移(也可以称为切换)到一个新的IAB-donor。由于完全迁移后IAB-node会全部接入 到新的IAB-donor,通过IAB-node与IAB-donor连接的终端设备(以下简称UE)也会接入到新的IAB-donor,因此,完全迁移,也可以称为UE迁移。
4、F1终结的IAB-donor(F1-terminating IAB-donor)
F1连接的CU所在的IAB-donor,也就是IAB-DU及所有其服务的UE连接的IAB-donor,称为F1-terminating IAB-donor。图1为IAB-node执行一次部分迁移后的回传链路示意图。如图1所示,IAB-donor-CU1为原来服务IAB-node(图1中IAB-MT与IAB-DU1)的donor,在进行一次partialmigration后,IAB-donor-CU1可以称为F1终结的(terminating)IAB-donor。由于在IAB-MT切换后,会保留切换前的IAB-donor的ID信息,此时UE的数据会通过F1连接与IAB-donor-CU1之间传输(只是数据路由会经过IAB-donor DU2),即UE的上下文保存在F1-terminating IAB-donor上。而IAB MT则已经切换到IAB-donor-CU2上,IAB MT的数据通过IAB-donor-CU2传输,IAB-donor-CU2称为非FI终结的(non-F1 terminating)IAB-donor。
需要说明的是,本公开中的F1 terminating IAB-donor(也就是IAB-DU及所有其服务的UE连接的IAB-donor),在不同的迁移场景中的称呼可能不同,比如其也可能被称为源(source)IAB-donor,锚点(anchor)IAB-donor,主(master)IAB-donor。
non-F1 terminating IAB-donor为在IAB-node部分迁移后,IAB-MT连接的donor。源non-F1 terminating IAB-donor为IAB-node在执行新的部分迁移或完全迁移时,IAB-MT连接的donor。另外,targetIAB-donor(即在迁移过程中IAB-MT切换到的目标IAB-donor)也可能被称为target non-F1 terminating IAB-donor等等。
本公开旨在对IAB-node在一次部分迁移后,如何实现再次迁移的方法进行说明,与本公开中提供的迁移的方法相同或相似、但是对IAB-DU及所有其服务的UE连接的donor、及在迁移过程中IAB-MT切换到的目标IAB-donor的称呼不同的任何方案,都属于本公开涵盖的范围。
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“响应于”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“如果”。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。
为了更好的理解本公开实施例公开的一种迁移的方法,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2,图2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IAB-donor、一个IAB-node和一个UE,图2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IAB-donor,两个或两个以上的IAB-donor。图2所示的通信系统以包括3个IAB-donor11、IAB-donor12、IAB-donor13、一个IAB-node14为例和一个终端设备15。
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IAB-donor是网络侧的一种附加了IAB功能的用于发射或接收信号的实体。例如,IAB-donor可以为附加了IAB功能的演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNB)、附加了IAB功能的传输点(transmission reception point,TRP)、NR系统中的附加了IAB功能的下一代基站(next generation NodeB,gNB)、其他未来移动通信系统中的附加了IAB功能的基站或无线保真(wireless fidelity,WiFi)系统中的接入节点等。本公开的实施例对IAB-donor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IAB-donor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IAB-node是为下游IAB-node和用户设备(user equipment,UE)提供无线回传 的中继节点。
本公开实施例中的终端设备15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(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,F1 terminating IAB-donor可以实现本公开图4至图5任一实施例所示的方法,目标IAB-donor可以实现本公开图4或图6实施例所示的方法,IAB-node可以实现本公开图7实施例所示的方法,源non-F1 terminating IAB-donor可以实现本公开图8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。
图3是本公开实施例提供的一种UE连续进行两次迁移的过程示意图。通常,移动的IAB-node可能会经历多次partial migration,如图3a所示,IAB-node在经过一次的partialmigration后,F1-terminating IAB-donor为IAB-donor1,non-F1 terminating IAB-donor为IAB-donor2,由于在IAB-MT切换后,会保留切换前的IAB-donor的ID信息,此时IAB-donor-DU2可以将UE的数据通过F1连接可靠路由至IAB-donor-CU1。随着IAB-node的移动,如果IAB-node再进行一次partialmigration(第二次2 nd partialmigration),即IAB-MT切换到IAB-donor-CU3(可以称为目标target IAB-donor或Targetnon-F1 terminating IAB-donor),此时,就需要建立IAB-donor-CU1通过IAB-donor-DU3到IAB-DU1的路由,而保留的切换前的ID信息为IAB-donor2,因此就需要确定如何建立IAB-donor-CU1通过IAB-donor-DU3到IAB-DU1的路由。
如图3b所示,IAB-node在经过一次的partialmigration后,如果进行一次full migration,则IAB-node需要再建立一个逻辑IAB-DU2,IAB-DU2与IAB-donor-CU3建立F1连接,IAB-DU2提供与IAB-DU1不同的逻辑小区,在执行UE migration的时候,IAB-donor-CU1需要与IAB-donor-CU3进行交互执行UE迁移/切换,即UE需要从IAB-donor-CU1下IAB-DU1下的源小区切换到IAB-donor-CU3下IAB-DU2下的目标小区,这就需要确定如何实现IAB-donor-CU1与IAB-donor-CU3的信息交互。
上述两种场景中,IAB-node在经过了至少一次部分迁移后,可能会执行fullmigration或者partial migration,这就需要源IAB-donor与目标IAB-donor之间进行信息交互,利用本公开提供的迁移的方法,可以实现源IAB-donor与目标IAB-donor之间进行信息交互,从而为实现IAB-node的多次迁移提供了条件。
下面结合各流程图,对本公开实施例提供的迁移的方法进行详细的说明。
请参见图4,图4是本公开实施例提供的一种迁移的方法的流程示意图,该方法由IAB-donor执行。如图4所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤401,在执行IAB-node迁移前,确定IAB-node已执行迁移的信息。
可选的,本公开中的IAB-donor可以为F1 terminating IAB-donor,或者,也可以为目标target IAB-donor。也就是说,在IAB-node迁移时,F1 terminating IAB-donor,或者target IAB-donor,可以通过执行本公开提供的迁移的方法,来实现对IAB-node的可靠迁移。
其中,IAB-node已执行迁移的信息可以至少包括IAB-node已执行的迁移的次数和/或已执行的迁移的类型。比如IAB-node已执行迁移的信息可以为IAB-node已执行了一次部分迁移;或者,IAB-node已执行迁移的信息可以为IAB-node已执行了一次完全迁移等等,本公开对此不做限定。
步骤402,响应于IAB-node已执行了至少一次部分迁移,获取与IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息。
具体地,若IAB-node已执行了至少一次部分迁移,那么在进行新的迁移时,就需要F1  terminatingIAB-donor与target IAB-donor进行信息交互,而此时F1 terminating IAB-donor与target IAB-donor之间并不知道对方的标识和信息。因此,本公开中,在IAB-donor在确定IAB-node已完成了一次部分迁移的情况下,可以首先获取与IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息。
可选的,与IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息可以包括用于指示目标IAB-donor的信息。其中,用于指示目标IAB-donor的信息可以为以下信息至少之一:
目标IAB-donor的全球的NG-RAN node的标识,比如为TargetIAB-donor的全球的NG-RAN node ID(包括公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)ID和gNBID)等,本公开对此不做限定。
目标IAB-donor中服务IAB-MT的小区标识,比如可以是物理小区标识(phycicalcell identity,PCI)和/或小区全球标识(cellglobalidentily,CGI)等,本公开对此不做限定。
目标IAB-donor的传输层地址,比如可以是IP地址和/或TEID等,本公开对此不做限定。
由此,F1 terminating IAB-donor即可根据第一迁移信息,确定target IAB-donor,进而可以与target IAB-donor进行信息交互,完成IAB node的可靠迁移。
可选的,与IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息,还可以包括用于指示F1终结的IAB-donor(F1terminating IAB-donor)的信息。其中,用于指示F1终结的IAB-donor的信息,可以为以下信息至少之一:
F1 terminating IAB-donor提供服务的NG-RAN node的标识,比如为F1 terminatingIAB-donor的全球的NG-RAN node ID(包括PLMN ID和gNBID)等,本公开对此不做限定。
F1 terminating IAB-donor中IAB-DU的小区标识,比如可以是PCI和/或CGI等,本公开对此不做限定。
F1 terminating IAB-donor的传输层地址,比如可以是IP地址和/或TEID等,本公开对此不做限定。
由此,target IAB-donor即可根据第一迁移信息,确定F1 terminating IAB-donor,进而与F1terminating IAB-donor进行信息交互,完成IAB node的可靠迁移。
可选的,与IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息,还可以包括用于指示IAB-MT的标识信息。由此,F1terminating IAB-donor或target IAB-donor即可根据IAB-MT的标识信息确定要迁移的IAB-node,进而完成对该IAB-node的迁移。
可选的,IAB-MT的标识信息包括以下各项至少之一:IAB-MT在F1终结的IAB-donor上的标识信息;IAB-MT在目标IAB-donor上的标识信息;IAB-MT的上下文标识(identification,ID);IAB-MT在核心网的标识信息;及IAB-node的标识。
需要说明的是,若第一迁移信息是由F1 terminating IAB-donor获取的,那么IAB MT的标识信息可以为IAB-MT在目标IAB-donor上的标识信息,该标识信息可以唯一标识IAB-MT在TargetIAB-donor中的标识,比如,可以为TargetIAB-donor UE XnAP ID。相应的,若第一迁移信息是由Target IAB-donor获取的,那么IAB MT的标识信息可以为IAB-MT在F1 terminatingIAB-donor上的标识信息,该标识信息可以唯一标识IAB-MT在F1 terminatingIAB-donor中的标识,比如,可以为F1 terminatingIAB-donor UE XnAP ID。
IAB-MT的上下文ID,可以是连接的无线网络临时标识(Connected-Radio Network Temporary Identity,C-RNTI)。
IAB-MT在核心网的标识信息,可以为IAB-MT对应的全局唯一临时标识符(Global Unique Temporary Identifier,GUTI),或者,也可以为其对应的链路标识(Link ID)等,本公开对此不做限定。
另外,由于一个IAB-node中包含一个IAB-MT,因此该IAB-MT的标识信息,还可以为其对应的IAB-node的标识,本公开对此不做限定。
可选的,若该第一迁移信息为TargetIAB-donor获取的,那么该第一迁移信息中,还可以包括用于指示第一迁移信息来自非F1终结的IAB-donor的指示信息。
步骤403,根据第一迁移信息执行IAB-node迁移。
可选的,执行IAB-node迁移,可以包括执行IAB-node的部分迁移,或者执行IAB-node的完全迁移。比如,target IAB-donor与F1 terminatingIAB-donor之间进行该IAB-node的传输迁移管理(部分迁移),或者,target IAB-donor与F1 terminatingIAB-donor之间进行传输迁移(即完全迁移)。
需要说明的是,若IAB-node当前执行的是完全迁移,那么在完全迁移后,再次执行一次新的部分 迁移或完全迁移时,由于当前为IAB-node提供服务的仅有一个IAB-donor,只需完成迁移前后的IAB-donor间的信息交互即可,从而即可直接进行迁移。
本公开中IAB-donor,在执行IAB-node迁移前,首先确定IAB-node已执行迁移的信息,若确定该IAB-node已执行了至少一次部分迁移,那么即可首先获取IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息,进而基于该第一迁移信息对该IAB-node进行迁移。由此,可靠实现了对IAB-node的多次连续迁移。
请参见图5,图5是本公开实施例提供的另一种迁移的方法的流程示意图,该方法由F1terminatingIAB-donor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,在执行IAB-node迁移前,确定IAB-node已执行迁移的信息。
步骤501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502,响应于IAB-node已执行了至少一次部分迁移,接收IAB-node发送的与IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息。
可选的,第一迁移信息可以包括用于指示目标IAB-donor的信息。其中,可用于指示目标IAB-donor的信息的可实现形式,可以参照本公开任一实施例的详细描述,此处不再赘述。
可选的,第一迁移信息,还可以包括用于指示IAB-MT的标识信息。由此,F1 terminating IAB-donor可根据该IAB-MT的标识信息确定要迁移的IAB-node。
其中,用于指示IAB-MT的标识信息可以包括以下至少之一:IAB-MT在F1终结的IAB-donor上的标识信息;IAB-MT的上下文ID;IAB-MT在核心网的标识信息;及IAB-node的标识等等。其中,上述指示IAB-MT的各个标识信息的具体实现形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,F1 terminatingIAB-donor在执行IAB-node迁移前,可以确定IAB-node已执行迁移的信息,若确定IAB-node已执行了至少一次部分迁移,则可以接收IAB-node发送的与其关联的第一迁移信息。
可选的,F1 terminatingIAB-donor可以通过F1应用协议(Application Protocol,AP)消息,接收IAB-node发送的第一迁移信息。比如,F1 terminatingIAB-donor可以通过gNB-DU配置更新(CONFIGURATION UPDATE)消息接收IAB-node发送的第一迁移信息,或者,也可以通过其他的F1AP消息来接收第一迁移信息,本公开对此不做限定。
本公开中F1 terminatingIAB-donor接收的第一迁移信息,可以是IAB-node在执行了至少一次部分迁移后,再次执行迁移前主动发送的;或者,也可以为F1 terminatingIAB-donor在确定IAB-node已经执行过至少一次部分迁移后,向IAB-node发送了第一迁移信息上报指令,以向IAB-node请求该迁移信息之后由IAB-node再发送的,本公开对此不做限定。
步骤503,根据第一迁移信息中包含的用于指示目标IAB-donor的信息,确定目标IAB-donor。
步骤504,向目标IAB-donor发送与IAB-node关联的第二迁移信息,以使目标IAB-donor根据第二迁移信息,确定需要执行迁移的IAB-node。
本公开中,F1 terminatingIAB-donor在确定了目标IAB-donor后,即可向目标IAB-donor发送第二迁移信息,以向目标IAB-donor指示要执行迁移的IAB-node。
可选的,第二迁移信息中可以包括IAB-MT的标识信息。从而target IAB-donor即可根据IAB-MT的标识信息确定要迁移的IAB-node,进而完成对该IAB-node的迁移。比如,target IAB-donor与F1terminatingIAB-donor之间进行该IAB-node的传输迁移管理(部分迁移),或者,target IAB-donor与F1 terminatingIAB-donor之间进行UE迁移(即完全迁移)。
可选的,IAB-MT的标识信息包括以下各项至少之一:IAB-MT在目标IAB-donor上的标识信息;IAB-MT的上下文ID;IAB-MT在核心网的标识信息;及IAB-node的标识。其中,上述指示IAB-MT的各个标识信息的具体实现形式可以参照本公开任一实施例的详细描述,此处不再赘述。
可选的,F1 terminatingIAB-donor可以通过XnAP消息,向目标IAB-donor发送第二迁移信息。在一些实施例中,XnAP消息可以是用于执行partial migration的IAB传输迁移管理请求(Transportmigrationmanagementrequest);在另一些实施例,所述XnAP消息可以是用于执行full migration的UE迁移请求(migrationrequest)。
本公开中,F1 terminatingIAB-donor在执行IAB-node迁移前,首先确定IAB-node已执行迁移的信息,若确定该IAB-node已执行了至少一次部分迁移,那么即可接收IAB-node发送的第一迁移信息,进而根据该第一迁移信息,确定目标IAB-donor,之后再向目标IAB-donor发送第二迁移信息,以使目 标IAB-donor确定要进行迁移的IAB-node。从而,F1 terminatingIAB-donor通过接收IAB-node发送的第一迁移信息,即可确定该IAB-node要迁移至的目标IAB-donor,从而通过与目标IAB-donor进行信息交互,可靠实现了对IAB-node的多次连续迁移。
请参见图6,图6是本公开实施例提供的另一种迁移的方法的流程示意图,该方法由目标IAB-donor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,在执行IAB-node迁移前,确定IAB-node已执行迁移的信息。
其中,步骤601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602,响应于IAB-node已执行了至少一次部分迁移,接收源非F1终结的IAB-donor发送的与所述IAB-node关联的第一迁移信息。
