相关申请的交叉引用
本申请是以CN申请号为202310574049.7,申请日为2023年5月19日的申请为基础,并主张其优先权,该CN申请的公开内容在此作为整体引入本申请中。
技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种用户面数据到达的通知方法及相关设备。
背景技术
5G(5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,第五代移动通信技术)作为下一代无线网络的主要技术,具有支持超宽带、大连接等技术特征。相比于4G(4th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,第四代移动通信技术),5G中引入了非激活状态(RRC_INACTIVE),该状态基站/UE可以选择保持不活动状态,而无需在没有业务数据传输时完全释放RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)建立的承载,可在RRC Release消息中携带SuspendConfig。该状态的引入用于解决小数据包的发送,降低核心网的信令开销。
在3GPP Rel-17中引入了针对上行方向的SDT(Small data transmission,小数据包传输)并定义了相关的流程,但与Release17中的上行SDT不同的是,Release 18中主要是针对下行方向的SDT业务所触发的相关过程,即收到来自核心网的数据包后,在空闲态发送小数据包的过程。如果按照目前Release 17的SDT过程,支持下行SDT,那么将存在用户面实体(CU-UP)无法区分是Rel-17上行SDT还是Rel-18的下行SDT的问题,也就是说,目前的3GPPRel-17的协议都无法满足下行小数据包在分离架构中的设计需求,需要进行增强功能,以满足网络部署和优化的需求。
需要说明的是,在上述背景技术部分公开的信息仅用于加强对本公开的背景的理解,因此可以包括不构成对本领域普通技术人员已知的现有技术的信息。

具体实施方式
下面将参考附图更全面地描述示例实施方式。
需要说明的是,示例实施方式能够以多种形式实施,不应被理解为限于在此阐述的范例。
发明人通过研究发现,与Release17中的上行SDT不同的是,Release 18中主要是针对下行方向的SDT业务所触发的相关过程,即收到来自核心网的数据包后,在空闲态发送小数据包的过程。如果按照目前Release 17的SDT过程,支持下行SDT,则存在用户面实体(CU-UP)无法区分是Rel-17上行SDT还是Rel-18的下行SDT的问题。
针对上述问题,本申请公开了一种用户面数据到达的通知方法及相关设备,可以支持在基站控制面和用户面分离架构中配置基于下行SDT承载,以及支持下行数据包到达时向控制面实体提供辅助信息的过程,从而使得用户面实体(CU-UP)能够区分Rel-17上行SDT和Rel-18的下行SDT,并且能够减少基站控制面和基站用户面之间的互操作问题,支持在控制面和用户面分离架构中发送小数据包的过程。
本公开的其他特性和优点将通过下面的详细描述变得显然,或部分地通过本公开的实践而习得。
5G作为新一代无线网络技术,具有支持大宽带、大连接、低时延、无线云化等技术特征。其中在支持无线云化方面,从Rel-15开始就支持了CU(Centralized Unit)和DU(Distributed Unit)分离,以及CP和UP分离的架构设计,如图1所示。
CU与DU功能的切分以处理内容的实时性进行区分。CU设备主要包括非实时的无线高层协议栈功能,同时也支持部分核心网功能下沉和边缘应用业务的部署,而DU设备主要处理物理层功能和实时性需求的层2功能。在CU/DU分离的基础上,为了进一步适配不同业务的请求。接入网的CU侧,还可以更进一步地将控制面(CP)和用户面(UP)再行分离。分离后的CP和UP彼此解耦,通过标准的E1接口进行交互,可部署在不同的物理节点。
由于控制面和用户面的相互分离,当在用户面实体收到来自核心的数据包时,需要通过如图2所示的信令通知控制面实体,目前该信令仅用于通知有数据包达到,并 不区分是何种业务。此外任何当用户的承载或者上下文需要进行建立或者修改时,CU-CP可通过如图3所示的信令通知用户面。
在低时延方面,相比于4G,5G中引入了非激活状态,即“RRC_INACTIVE”状态,该状态基站/UE可以选择保持不活动状态,而无需在没有业务数据传输时完全释放RRC建立的承载,可在RRCRelease消息中携带SuspendConfig。该状态的引入用于解决小数据包的发送,降低核心网的信令开销。当UE处于RRC_INACTIVE状态,当终端收到RAN寻呼或者RNA更新或者有上行数据要发送,都会触发挂起的RRC连接恢复,在发起RRC连接恢复之前,UE确保有有效的、最新的系统信息。
在3GPP Rel-17中引入了针对上行方向的SDT并定义了相关的流程。其中在E1接口中,通过Bearer Context Modification消息或者Bearer Context Setup消息,CU-CP可以为CU-UP配置哪些承载是SDT承载。
发明人发现,与Release17中的上行SDT不同的是,Release 18中主要是针对下行方向的小数据包传输业务所触发的相关过程,即收到来自核心网的数据包后,在空闲态发送小数据包的过程。如果按照目前Release 17的SDT过程,支持下行SDT,则存在如下问题:
CU-UP不清楚Rel-17SDT和Rel-18的SDT差别:由于承载本身包括了上行和下行两个部分,因此从承载层面无法区分是Rel-17上行SDT还是Rel-18的下行SDT,CU-UP对待Release 17的上行SDT和基于Release18的下行SDT的行为会有所不同,考虑到此外Rel-18的下行SDT可以兼容Rel-17的上行SDT,当前的设计过程中CU-UP无法区分是哪种类型。
CU-CP不清楚CU-UP接收到的下行SDT数据量以及计算方法:目前的E1接口的DL Data Notification消息里并不包含任何的SDT指示信息,因此CU-CP并不知道是否有下行SDT数据包到达以及是否低于数据门限,此外在上行SDT过程中采用的数据包触发门限都是来源于MAC层的字段大小,而此时如果采用之前方法,考虑到后续的分段和重传则无法准确计算,并且基站的用户面实体;
多数据包到达时CU-CP和CU-UP存在互操作问题:当多个下行数据包间隔到达且第一个数据包尚未完全触发SDT过程时未明确用户面的处理行为,可能出现仅发送一次下行数据到达,多次达到以及取消SDT数据指示等情况,因此存在互操作的问题。
基于上述需求和原因分析,目前的3GPPRel-17的协议都无法满足下行小数据包在分离架构中的设计需求,需要通过新的方式来进行增强功能,以满足网络部署和优 化的需求。
基于发明人的上述发现,支持在分离架构中下行方向数据到达而引发的小数据包传输,本公开提供了一种用户面数据到达的通知方法及相关设备,使得用户面实体(CU-UP)能够区分Rel-17上行SDT和Rel-18的下行SDT。
根据本公开一些实施例,提供了一种用户面数据到达的通知方法,应用于分离架构基站的基站控制面实体,包括:向基站用户面实体发送第一基站内请求消息,第一基站内请求消息包括配置至少一个DRB为SDT承载以及是否支持下行SDT的指示信息;接收到第一基站内响应消息,确认请求配置承载的建立情况;接收来自基站用户面实体的第二基站内消息,第二基站内消息用于通知基站控制面实体接收到终端的下行数据,第二基站内消息中包括缓存在基站用户面实体中的终端所有SDT承载的下行数据量大小;向基站分离实体发送包含第一辅助信息的第一寻呼消息,第一辅助信息至少包括下行SDT指示信息;若接收到来自基站用户面实体的新的第二基站内消息,则终止下行小数据包的传输过程,新的第二基站内消息用于通知基站控制面实体接收到终端的非SDT承载的下行小数据包,新的第二基站内消息中不携带缓存的SDT承载的下行数据包大小。
图4示出本公开实施例中一种分离架构基站示意图,如图4所示,本公开实施例中提供的分离架构基站,包括基站分离实体410和基站集中实体420。
基站集中实体420包括基站控制面实体421和基站用户面实体422,其中,基站控制面实体421用于向基站用户面实体发送第一基站内请求消息,第一基站内请求消息包括配置至少一个DRB为SDT承载,以及是否支持下行SDT的指示信息;接收到第一基站内响应消息,确认请求配置承载的建立情况;接收来自基站用户面实体的第二基站内消息,第二基站内消息用于通知基站控制面实体接收到终端下行数据,第二基站内消息中包括缓存在基站用户面实体中的终端所有SDT承载的下行数据量大小;向基站分离实体发送包含发送给终端的RRC寻呼消息和第一辅助信息的第一寻呼消息,第一辅助信息至少包括下行SDT指示信息,RRC寻呼消息中至少包括下行SDT指示信息。
在一些实施例中,是否支持下行SDT的指示信息,通过是否携带SDT承载请求模式来表示是否支持下行SDT。
SDT承载请求模式指示了所有的SDT DRB同时支持下行SDT和上行SDT,当SDT承载请求模式不携带时,指示了仅配置所有SDT DRB为上行SDT。
在一些实施例中,基站控制面实体421还用于向邻基站发送包含第二辅助信息的第二寻呼消息;其中,第二寻呼消息中还包含发送给终端的RRC寻呼消息;第二辅助信息,包括如下信息中的至少一个:缓存在基站用户面实体中的所有SDT承载的缓存下行数据量大小、下行SDT指示信息。
在一些实施例中,基站控制面实体在接收到来自基站用户面实体的第二基站内消息的情况下,还判断基站用户面实体中的下行SDT承载的缓存数据量大小是否小于下行小数据包发送触发门限;在小于下行小数据包发送触发门限的情况下,则发送第一寻呼消息给基站分离实体和发送第二寻呼消息给邻基站。
在一些实施例中,在小于下行小数据包发送触发门限的情况下,基站控制面实体发送给基站分离实体的第一寻呼消息包括发送给终端的RRC寻呼消息,该发送给终端的RRC寻呼消息中至少包括含下行SDT指示信息。
图5示出本公开实施例中一种用户面数据到达的通知方法流程图,如图5所示,本公开实施例中提供的用户面数据到达的通知方法包括步骤S502-S506。
在S502中,基站控制面实体向基站用户面实体发送第一基站内请求消息,第一基站内请求消息包括配置至少一个DRB为SDT承载,以及是否支持下行SDT的指示信息。
上文中是否支持下行SDT的指示信息,通过是否携带SDT承载请求模式来表示是否支持下行SDT;SDT承载请求模式指示了所有的SDT DRB同时支持下行SDT和上行SDT,当SDT承载请求模式不携带时,指示了仅配置所有SDT DRB为上行SDT。
在一些实施例中,第一基站内请求消息,包括SDT承载列表,SDT承载列表用于指示基站用户面实体为终端重新配置或者新建一个或者多个DRB为SDT承载。
在一些实施例中,基站控制面实体通过第一基站内请求消息指示基站用户面实体配置SDT承载列表,并可配置SDT承载模式。
SDT承载列表指示了一个或者多个DRB同时支持下行小数据包传输和上行小数据包传输。SDT承载模式包括MT-SDT模式,可用于支持下行小数据包传输和/或上行小数据包传输。
基站用户面实体在接收到第一基站内请求消息后,根据SDT承载列表确定哪些已经配置和/或需要新建的DRB支持SDT传输,并根据SDT承载模式确定所有SDT承载支持下行小数据包传输,当未携带SDT承载模式时则所有SDT承载仅支持上行小 数据包传输。并在配置完成后将配置结果反馈给基站控制面实体。
在S504中,基站用户面实体向基站控制面实体发送第二基站内消息,第二基站内消息用于通知基站控制面实体接收到终端下行数据,第二基站内消息中包括缓存在基站用户面实体中的终端所有SDT承载的下行数据量大小。
在一些实施例中,基站用户面实体从核心网接收到该终端的第一组下行小数据包后,确定这些小数据包全部属于SDT承载后,启动定时器,并统计小数据包的数据量,所述数据量为增加SDAP头部后的数据包大小,在定时器超时前若收到核心网的该终端的小数据包,则继续缓存这些小数据包,并累计小数据包的总数据量。
基站用户面实体在定时器超时后,通过第二基站内消息通知给基站控制面实体,其中第二基站内消息中还包括缓存的下行SDT数据包大小。下行SDT数据包即SDT承载的下行小数据包。
如图6所示,基站用户面实体在发送完针对该终端的第二基站内消息后且未收到来自基站控制面实体发送的用户上下文修改消息时,若再接收到的该终端的SDT数据包(即SDT承载的下行小数据包)时基站用户面实体则继续通过第二基站内消息发送给基站控制面实体,若再接收到非SDT承载的数据包时,则再次发送的第二基站内消息中不携带缓存的下行SDT数据包大小。
在S506中,向基站分离实体发送包含发送给终端的RRC寻呼消息和第一辅助信息的第一寻呼消息,第一辅助信息至少包括下行SDT指示信息,RRC寻呼消息中至少包含下行SDT指示信息。
向基站分离实体发送第一寻呼消息,第一寻呼消息包含发送给终端的RRC寻呼消息和第一辅助信息;第一辅助信息至少包括下行SDT指示信息,RRC寻呼消息中至少包含下行SDT指示信息。
图7示出本公开实施例中一种用户面数据到达的通知方法流程图,如图7所示,该方法的步骤S702-S706与上述实施例的S502-S506相似,在此不再赘述。
与上述实施例不同的是,图7实施例中基站控制面实体还向邻基站发送包含第二辅助信息的第二寻呼消息,第二寻呼消息中包含发送给终端的RRC寻呼消息;其中,第二辅助信息,包括如下信息中的至少一个:缓存在基站用户面实体中的所有SDT承载的缓存下行数据量大小、下行SDT指示。
基站控制面实体接收到第二基站内消息或者收到来自核心网发送给该用户高层信令消息后,若仅收到来自核心网发送的高层信令消息,则直接发送第一寻呼消息给 基站分离实体和/或发送第二寻呼消息给相邻的第二基站(即邻基站);若收到第二基站内消息则判断指示的缓存的下行SDT数据包大小是否满足下行小数据包发送触发门限,当小于该触发门限时发送第一寻呼消息给基站分离实体和发送第二寻呼消息给相邻的基站。其中下行小数据包发送门限的具体数值由网管配置。
当基站控制面实体向基站分离实体发送第一寻呼消息时,携带辅助信息用于指示MT-SDT寻呼以及第一RRC消息,所述第一RRC消息包括MT-SDT指示信息。
