- the Remote UE obtains the first indication information sent by the network side device, and the first indication information indicates support or permission for the remote terminal to establish a non-direct connection path with the network side device through the relay terminal.
- the remote terminal can communicate with the relay terminal through non-3GPP wireless access technology (for example, wifi, infrared communication or Bluetooth communication technology).
- non-3GPP wireless access technology for example, wifi, infrared communication or Bluetooth communication technology.

- the Remote UE obtains auxiliary information of the non-3GPP Relay UE, and the auxiliary information includes the Uu connection state of the Relay UE and indication information of whether the Relay UE is acting as a relay UE. If the Uu connection state of the Relay UE in the auxiliary information is available and the indication information indicates that the Relay UE is acting as a relay, it is determined that the non-direct path establishment condition is met.
- the Uu connection status of the above-mentioned Relay UE is available, which may mean that the Relay UE is currently in the RRC connected state, or that the Relay UE is currently in the RRC non-connected state, but the RSRP quality of the serving cell (PCell or Serving Cell) of the Relay UE is higher than the preset threshold, that is, the Uu channel condition of the Relay UE is good.

相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求于2023年09月07日提交中国专利局、申请号为202311157305.9、发明名称为“网络连接的处理方法、终端及网络侧设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请属于无线通信技术领域,具体涉及一种网络连接的处理方法、终端及网络侧设备。
无线通信系统中的中继(Relay)技术,是指在基站与终端之间增加了一个或多个中继节点,负责对无线信号进行一次或者多次的转发,即无线信号要经过多跳才能到达终端。
无线中继技术不仅可用于扩展小区覆盖,弥补小区覆盖盲点,同时也可通过空间资源复用提升小区容量。对于室内覆盖,Relay技术也可起到克服穿透损耗,提升室内覆盖质量的作用。
以较简单的两跳中继为例,无线中继可以将一个基站—终端链路分割为基站—中继站和中继站—终端两个链路,从而有机会将一个质量较差的链路替换为两个质量较好的链路,以获得更高的链路容量及更好的覆盖。
目前LTE中已经支持的Relay为UE-to-Network中继,即中继一端连接UE,一端连接网络侧。与Relay连接的UE,叫做远端UE(Remote UE)。
在中继场景下,Remote UE可以与网络侧设备建立非直连路径(indirect path)或直连路径(direct path)。其中,非直连路径是指Remote UE通过Relay UE以及Relay UE的Uu空口与基站建立RRC连接的无线链路。直连路径是指Remote UE通过自己的Uu空口与基站建立RRC连接的无线链路。
然而相关技术中并没有给出Remote UE建立非直连路径的具体技术方案,从而可能导致在某些场景下,remote UE无法有效建立非直连路径。

图1a示出本申请实施例可应用的一种无线通信系统的框图。无线通信系统包括中继终端11、网络侧设备12和远端终端13。在本申请实施例中,远端终端13可以通过中继终端11以及中继终端11的Uu空口与网络侧设备12建立RRC连接的无线链路,并且,远端终端13也可以通过远端终端13的Uu空口与网络侧设备12建立RRC连接的无线链路。
其中,中继终端11也可以称作中继(relay)终端设备或者中继用户终端(User Equipment,UE),远端终端13也可以称作远端终端设备或者远端(remote)UE,中继终端11和远端终端13可以是手机、平板电脑(Tablet Personal Computer)、膝上型电脑(Laptop Computer)或称为笔记本电脑、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、掌上电脑、上网本、超级移动个人计算机(ultra-mobile personal computer,UMPC)、移动上网装置(Mobile Internet Device,MID)、可穿戴式设备(Wearable Device)或车载设备(VUE)、行人终端(PUE)等终端侧设备,可穿戴式设备包括:手环、耳机、眼
镜等。需要说明的是,在本申请实施例并不限定中继终端11和远端终端13的具体类型。网络侧设备12可以是基站或核心网,其中,基站可被称为节点B、演进节点B、接入点、基收发机站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS)、无线电基站、无线电收发机、基本服务集(Basic Service Set,BSS)、扩展服务集(Extended Service Set,ESS)、B节点、演进型B节点(eNB)、家用B节点、家用演进型B节点、WLAN接入点、WiFi节点、发送接收点(Transmitting Receiving Point,TRP)或所述领域中其他某个合适的术语,只要达到相同的技术效果,所述基站不限于特定技术词汇,需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中仅以NR系统中的基站为例,但是并不限定基站的具体类型。

图1b示出相关技术中一种典型的UE-to-Network的场景,如图1b所示,在该场景下,Remote UE需要与网络侧传输数据,但由于覆盖不佳,找到Relay UE为其中转,其中Relay UE与基站之间是Uu接口,Relay UE和Remote UE之间是sidelink(PC5)接口。一般来说,Relay UE是开放的,可以为任何Remote UE服务。
另外,在相关技术中,还涉及多路径场景。例如,对于旁链路中继架构,如图2a至图2c所示,多路径是指Remote UE同时建立了indirect path和direct path。而对于非旁链路中继架构,即两个UE之间的连接并不是sidelink(PC5)接口,如图3a至图3c所示,两个UE之间的接口可以为有线连接或者理想的UE间连接(ideal inter-UE connection),多路径是指Primary UE(与图2a至图2c中的remote UE角色相当)同时建立了indirect path和direct path。
由此可见,相关技术中的非直连路径(Indirect path),指Remote UE(或Primary UE)通过Relay UE(或Secondary UE)以及Relay UE(或Secondary UE)的Uu空口与基站建立RRC连接的无线链路。直连路径(Direct path),指Remote UE(或Primary UE)通过自己的Uu空口与基站建立RRC连接的无线链路。
而在车载移动场景下,如图4所示,智能手机(remote UE)通过wifi或蓝牙连接到
汽车的智能座舱(relay UE),通过智能座舱(relay UE)的Uu空口与网络侧设备(gNB)建立非直连路径,从而实现智能手机的UL/DL数据传输。然而,智能手机本身也可以通过其Uu空口与网络侧设备建立直连路径,因此,关于智能手机在什么情况下通过非直连路径与网络侧设备通信,是相关技术中需要解决的技术问题,针对该问题,本申请实施实施例提供了一种网络连接的处理方法、终端及网络侧设备。
下面结合附图,通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的网络连接的处理方法、终端及网络侧设备进行详细地说明。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的中继终端,可以是支持3GPP接入技术的中继终端,也可以是支持非3GPP接入技术的中继终端,还可以是支持3GPP接入技术和非3GPP接入技术的中继终端。后续各个实施例中仅以其中一种或多种类型的终端进行示例性说明,但支持不同接入技术的中继终端在各个实施例中可以相互替换。
图5示出本申请实施例中的网络连接的处理方法的一种流程示意图,该方法500可以由远端终端执行。换言之,所述方法可以由安装在远端终端上的软件或硬件来执行。如图5所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤。
S510,远端终端确定满足非直连路径建立条件。
在本申请实施例中,远端终端可以在处于非连接态时,确定有待传输的信息时,判断是否满足非直连路径建立条件,或者,远端终端也可以是在处于连接态时,判断是否满足非直连路径建立条件。
在本申请实施例的一个可选实现方式中,非直连路径建立条件可以包括以下至少之一:
(1)Remote UE当前的移动状态(mobility state)为预设状态,预设状态可以包括以下至少之一:高速移动状态(High-mobility state)、中速移动状态(Medium-mobility state)。其中,可以将Remote UE的移动状态(mobility state)可以分为三类:高速移动状态(High-mobility state)、中速移动状态(Medium-mobility state)、正常移动状态(Normal-mobility state)。因此,高速移动状态和中速移动状态,也可以定义为非正常移动状态(non Normal-mobility state);中速移动状态和低速移动状态,也可以定义为非高速移动状态(non High-mobility state)。
可选地,远端终端可以基于在持续时间内发生小区重选的次数来确定远端终端当前的移动状态。例如,在所述远端终端在持续时间内发生小区重选的次数大于第一计数阈值的情况下,所述远端终端确定所述远端终端的移动状态为高速移动状态;在所述远端终端在持续时间内发生小区重选的次数小于或等于所述第一计数阈值、且大于或等于第二计数阈值的情况下,所述远端终端确定所述远端终端的移动状态为中速移动状态,其中,所述第一计数阈值大于所述第二计数阈值;在所述远端终端在所述持续时间内发生小区重选的次数小于所述第二计数阈值的情况下,所述远端终端确定所述远端终端的移动状态为正常移动状态。
可选地,上述持续时间、第一计数阈值和第二计数阈值可以是远端终端的服务基站发送的检测参数。例如,服务基站广播一组检测参数给Remote UE,这组参数包括:TCRmax,NCR_H,NCR_M。如果Remote UE判断在持续时间TCRmax内发生小区重选的次数大于NCR_H,则判断为满足高速移动状态的条件,进入高速移动状态(High-mobility state)。如果Remote UE判断在持续时间TCRmax内发生小区重选的次数小于或等于NCR_H,且大于或等于NCR_M,则判断为满足中速移动状态的条件,进入中速移动状态(Medium-mobility state)。如果Remote UE判断在持续时间TCRmax内发生小区重选的次数小于NCR_M,则判断为满足正常移动状态的条件,进入正常移动状态(Normal-mobility state)。
(2)Remote UE倾向于通过非直连路径建立或恢复或重建与网络侧设备的连接,例如,RRC连接。例如,Remote UE可以是至少基于自身移动速度、剩余电量、上行无线能力等因素确定其是否倾向于通过非直连路径建立或恢复或重建与网络侧设备的连接。
(3)Remote UE获取到所述网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息,且所述第一指示信息指示支持或允许所述远端终端通过中继终端与所述网络侧设备建立非直连路径。
在本申请实施例中,远端终端可以通过非3GPP无线接入技术(例如,wifi、红外通信或蓝牙通信等技术)与中继终端通信。在这种情况的中继终端简称为non-3GPP Relay UE。
在本申请实施例中,上述网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息可以是网络侧设备通过系统信息块(System Information Block,SIB)发送的。例如,Remote UE获取了其服务基站的SIB消息,所述SIB消息携带了是否支持或允许通过non-3GPP Relay UE与所述服务基站建立非直连路径的第一指示信息。在第一指示信息指示支持或允许通过non-3GPP Relay UE与所述服务基站建立非直连路径时,则判断满足非直连路径建立条件。在这种情况下,Remote UE将Relay UE的服务基站视作自己的服务基站。
(4)远端终端获取到所述中继终端的辅助信息,且所述辅助信息中包括以下至少一项:所述中继终端的Uu连接状态可用、所述中继终端担任中继角色的指示信息。
例如,Remote UE获取了non-3GPP Relay UE的辅助信息,所述辅助信息包括了Relay UE的Uu连接状态以及Relay UE是否担任中继角色(acting as relay UE)的指示信息。在所述辅助信息中的Relay UE的Uu连接状态可用且指示信息指示Relay UE担任中继角色的情况下,确定满足非直连路径建立条件。
其中,上述Relay UE的Uu连接状态可用可以是指Relay UE当前处于RRC连接态,或者,Relay UE当前处于RRC非连接态,但Relay UE的服务小区(PCell or Serving Cell)的RSRP质量高于预设阈值,即Relay UE的Uu信道条件较好。
在相关技术中,remote UE和relay UE具备旁链路(Sidelink)/PC5空口,可以基于Sidelink/PC5的发现(discovery)和中继选择或重选(relay(re)selection)功能触发非直连路径建立流程,但并不支持UE之间接口是wifi、蓝牙等非3GPP接口,而本申请实施例提供的上述方案可以针对non-3GPP中继的场景,实现基于non-3GPP relay的非直连路径的建立。
另外,对于remote UE和relay UE具备旁链路(Sidelink)/PC5空口的场景,可以将remote UE的服务小区的Uu参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power,RSRP)低于一定门限作为建立indirect path的触发条件,然而,在某些场景下,例如上述车载通信场景,如果只以远端终端的服务小区的Uu RSRP判断是否建立非直连路径可能并不能满足实际的需求,例如,远端终端如果处于高速移动状态,其服务小区的Uu RSRP可能较高,但由于远端终端处于高速移动状态,如果建立与网络侧设备的直连路径,则可能导致远端终端频繁地在小区间切换。又例如,远端终端可能基于自身移动速度、剩余电量、上行无线能力等因素确定倾向于与网络侧设备建立非直连路径,但远端终端的服务小区的Uu RSRP可能不低于预设门限,如果还基于服务小区的Uu RSRP判断是否建立非直连路径,显然不能满足远端终端的需求。因此,在本申请实施例中,在上述(1)至(4)的情况下,确定满足非直连路径建立条件。
S512,远端终端通过中继终端发起第一目标过程。
在本申请实施例中,所述第一目标过程包括以下任意一项:
RRC连接建立过程;
RRC连接恢复过程;
RRC连接重建过程。
例如,如果远端终端当前处于非连接态,则远端终端可以通过中继终端发起RRC连接建立过程或RRC连接恢复过程,向Relay UE发送RRC连接建立请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息,所述RRC连接建立请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息通过Relay UE转发给网络侧设备。如果远端终端当前处于RRC连接态,则远端终端可以通过中继终端发起RRC连接重建过程,向Relay UE发送RRC连接重建请求消息,所述RRC连接重建请求消息通过Relay UE转发给网络侧设备。
通过本申请实施例提供的上述技术方案,可以支持上行能力受限的远端终端接入的场景,借助于中继终端与网络通信,可以适用于车载高速移动等场景。
在一个可选的实现方式中,为了使得网络侧设备获知远端终端通过非直连路径进行通信的原因,在S512之后,该方法还可以包括以下步骤:远端终端通过所述中继终端向所述网络侧设备发送所述远端终端的目标信息,其中,所述目标信息包括以下至少之一:所述远端终端的移动状态、所述远端终端倾向于只维持非直连路径。
在一个可选的实现方式中,远端终端可以在执行第一目标过程的流程中,通过所述中继终端向所述网络侧设备发送携带所述目标信息的以下消息之一:RRC连接建立完成消息、RRC连接恢复完成消息、RRC连接重建完成消息。
或者,在另一个可选的实现方式中,远端终端也可以在完成所述第一目标过程之后,端通过所述中继终端向所述网络侧设备发送携带所述目标信息的目标消息,所述目标消息包括以下之一:中继链路终端信息(SidelinkUEInformation)消息、终端辅助信息(UEAssitanceInformation)消息、专用于发送所述目标信息的RRC消息。
在一个可选的实现方式中,该方法还可以包括:在确定不满足所述非直连路径建立
条件的情况下,所述远端终端通过Uu空口发起第二目标过程,其中,所述第二目标过程包括以下任意一项:
RRC连接建立过程;
RRC连接恢复过程;
RRC连接重建过程。
在上述实现方式中,在不满足非直连路径建立条件的情况下,远端终端可以通过Uu空口发起第二目标过程,以保证远端终端与网络侧设备之间的通信。
例如,如果远端终端当前处于非连接态,则远端终端通过Uu空口可以发起RRC连接建立过程或RRC连接恢复过程,向网络侧设备发送RRC连接建立请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息。如果远端终端当前处于通过非直连路径的RRC连接态,则远端终端可以通过Uu空口发起RRC连接重建过程,向网络侧设备发送RRC连接重建请求消息。
可选的,在上述实现方式中,为了使得网络侧设备可以获知远端终端的状态或倾向,在所述远端终端通过Uu空口发起所述第二目标过程之后,所述远端终端可以通过Uu空口向所述网络侧设备发送所述远端终端的目标信息,其中,所述目标信息包括以下至少之一:所述远端终端的移动状态、所述远端终端只维持非直连路径的倾向。
在一种实现方式中,所述远端终端可以在执行所述第二目标过程的流程中,通过Uu空口向所述网络侧设备发送携带所述目标信息以下消息之一:RRC连接建立完成消息、RRC连接恢复完成消息、RRC连接重建完成消息。
