为了方便理解,以下对本申请实施例涉及的一些内容进行解释说明:
1、传统的层3(Layer 3,L3)切换流程
以NR中无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)触发(即空口切换命令为RRC消息)的切换流程为例,说明蜂窝系统中的传统的L3切换流程。
如图2所示,基站间切换流程至少包含如下步骤:
(1)源gNB发起切换,通过Xn接口向目标gNB发送HANDOVER REQUEST;
(2)目标gNB执行准入控制,在HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE中提供RRC重配消息(包含与切换用户设备(User Equipment,UE,即终端)关联的目标小区的配置信息,即UE从服务小区接入或切入所述候选小区时,UE所应用的目标小区配置);
(3)源gNB向UE转发HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE中携带的RRC重配消息:RRCReconfiguration;
(4)UE和源gNB断开连接,并向目标gNB发送RRC重配完成消息。
在步骤(3)和(4)之间,UE和网络侧(Network,NW,即网络侧设备)之间的数据传输会发生中断。为了缩短数据中断时间,后继在5G/NR中,引入了层1或层2触发的移动性(L1/L2 Triggered Mobility,LTM)切换流程。
本申请实施例主要涉及步骤(3)的RRC重配消息。
2、LTM(L1/L2 Triggered Mobility)切换流程
为了减少切换过程中的数据中断时间,相关技术中引入了LTM(L1/L2-triggered mobility),即分布单元(Distributed Unit,DU)或源基站根据终端上报的层1测量结果(可选),使用层1(Layer 1,L1)/层2(Layer 2,L2)(如物理层或媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)层)信令指示终端切换到合适的目标小区。LTM切换流程如图3所示。
如图3所示,LTM切换流程如下:
(1)L3测量上报(可选步骤):UE向基站上报L3测量的结果;
(2)RRC预配置:终端接收网络侧下发的预配置的一个或多个候选小区的信息;所述候选小区的配置为:UE从服务小区接入或切入所述候选小区时,UE所应用的目标小区配置;
每一个候选小区的配置信息关联一个标识(如ltm-CandidateId-r18);不同候选小区的配置信息(ltm-candidateConfig-r18)所关联的标识不同。ltm-candidateConfig-r18所在IE的信令格式为RRCReconfiguration.
预配置信息(如LTM候选配置信元(LTM-Candidate information element))如下:
(3)UE发送配置完成消息给NW;
(4)可选地,UE执行与候选小区的上下行同步过程;
(5)终端通过测量当前服务小区和邻小区的下行信号获取L1测量结果并进行上报;
(6)终端接收网络侧发送的小区切换信令(如MAC控制单元(Control Element,CE)),应用目标小区的RRC配置信息;
其中,MAC CE中携带作为目标小区的候选小区的配置所关联的标识信息;
(7)可选的,UE基于随机接入信道(Random Access Channel,RACH)过程接入目标小区;
(8)UE发送切换完成消息给NW,以结束LTM过程。
LTM过程可以用于变更主服务小区(Primary Cell,PCell)或主辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell,PSCell)。
3、条件切换(Conditional HandOver,CHO)流程
在条件切换过程中,NW给UE预配置一个或多个候选小区配置(即UE接入或切入所述候选小区时,UE所应用的目标小区配置),以及对应的执行条件。
当UE评估确定执行条件满足时,UE切入满足执行条件的候选小区。UE基于服务小区和/或候选小区的信号质量,确定对应的执行条件是否满足。
CHO的配置包括:
(1)CHO的执行条件:由N个测量标识(Measurement id)组成。每一个测量标识对应一个测量事件,当UE对候选小区(如小区(Cell)A)的测量结果满足预设条件,则UE认为相关测量事件被触发。当一个执行条件所包含的N个Measurement id对应的测量事件均被触发,则UE发起切换过程将服务小区(如PCell)变更为Cell A,简称CHO被触发。在NR中,N取值为1或2。
(2)候选小区的配置参数:为了将服务小区(PCell)变更为Cell A,UE所需要应用的CellA的配置参数。在NR中,CellA的配置参数由包含同步重配指示(ReconfigurationWithSync IE)的RRC重配消息承载。该配置即UE接入或切入所述候选小区时,所应用的目标小区配置。
(3)CHO配置标识(Identifier,ID):用于关联一个执行条件和一个候选PCell的配置参数,可以用于针对该候选PCell的CHO过程。如果有N个候选小区,可以配置N个执行条件和N个候选PCell的配置参数,供UE进行评估。根据评估结果,确定最终的目标PCell(例如:最先满足的执行条件关联的候选PCell)。针对一个PCell的执行条件和目标配置参数通过CHO配置标识来关联;即关联到同一个CHO配置标识的一个执行条件和一个候选PCell的配置参数是针对一个候选PCell的。
在NR中,CHO的执行条件、候选小区的配置参数及CHO配置ID通过如下方式关联在一起:
其中,condReconfigId-r16为CHO配置ID,condExecutionCond-r16为CHO的执行条件,condRRCReconfig-r16为候选小区配置,信令格式为RRCReconfiguration。
相关技术中,允许NW为一个UE同时配置CHO和LTM。
条件主辅小区添加/变更(CPAC)与CHO的配置方式类似,用于PSCell变更(change)过程。
4、双连接或多连接
双连接是一种在LTE中引入的技术,也用于NR中,指UE可以同时连接到两个基站,由两个基站同时为UE提供数据收发服务。由于可以同时使用两个基站的无线资源,UE的业务数据传输速率得到成倍提升。
为同一个UE服务的两个基站之间有信令接口,可以互通相关UE的配置信息。
双连接UE的服务基站可以属于同一无线接入技术(Radio Access Technology,RAT),例如:两个LTE eNB;也可以属于不同RAT,例如:一个LTE eNB,一个NR gNB。本申请实施例可适用于任何类型组合的双连接基站,对双连接基站的类型不做限定。
双连接UE的服务基站中有一个为主基站(Master Node,MN),一个为辅基站(Secondary Node,SN)。网络会为双连接UE配置两个特殊小区SpCell(Special Cell),即配置MN的一个小区作为UE的PCell(Primary Cell),配置SN的一个小区作为UE的PSCell(Primary Secondary Cell)。如果同时应用了载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)技术,MN和SN的其他为UE服务的小区为该UE的辅小区(Secondary Cell,SCell)。
多连接指超过两个基站为同一个UE提供服务。本申请实施例同样适用于多连接,对多连接基站的类型不做限定。
类似双连接,多连接UE的服务基站中有一个为主基站(MN),其他为辅基站(SN)。
网络会为多连接UE配置多个特殊小区SpCell(Special Cell),即配置MN的一个小区作为UE的PCell(Primary Cell),配置每个SN的一个小区作为UE的PScell(Primary Secondary Cell)。
5、非激活态和连接恢复
在NR中,除了RRC_Idle和RRC_Connected态外,还引入了第三个RRC状态——非激活(RRC_Inactive)态。当NW释放与UE的RRC连接时,可以选择让UE进入RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive中的一个。该机制或类似的机制也可以被未来的蜂窝系统(如6G)所采用。
在RRC_Inactive态下,NW和UE均会保存UE的部分接入层(Access Stratum,AS)UE上下文(AS UE context)信息,以便在UE从RRC_Inactive态恢复RRC连接,即进入RRC_Connected态时重用;避免重发对应的配置。
在图4中,RRC_Inactive的UE通过发送RRCResumeRequest消息请求恢复RRC连接。NW发送RRCResume消息,携带UE需要应用的配置。UE发送RRCResumeComplete消息以结束连接恢复过程。
需要说明的是,释放UE RRC连接的基站和UE发起RRC连接恢复过程的基站可以是不同的基站。例如:
T1时刻:UE的服务基站是BS1,BS1指示UE释放RRC连接并进入RRC_Inactive态;BS1可以被称为UE的锚(anchor)BS。
T2时刻:UE在BS2下的一个cell发起连接恢复。此时,BS2需要根据RRCResumeRequest消息中的信息,确定UE的anchor BS,即BS1;然后,BS2从BS1获取UE的上下文(context),用于RRC连接恢复。
当然,如果BS2和BS1是同一个BS,那么就可以省略基站间的UE context获取或传递过程。
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通信操作执行方法、装置及相关设备进行详细地说明。
参见图5,图5是本申请实施例提供的一种通信操作执行方法的流程图,如图5所示,通信操作执行方法包括以下步骤:
步骤101、终端接收网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端应用保存的目标配置,或所述第一指示信息用于指示目标配置,所述目标配置为用于配置所述终端在目标小区工作的配置。
其中,所述第一指示信息可以包括所述目标配置的标识,终端可以通过所述目标配置的标识确定保存的目标配置;或,所述第一指示信息可以包括所述目标小区的标识,终端可以通过所述目标小区的标识确定保存的目标配置;或,所述第一指示信息可以直接指示所述终端应用保存的当前服务小区的目标配置进行连接恢复,终端可以通过保存的当前服务小区的标识确定保存的目标配置,此时,第一指示信息可以不携带标识。可以理解,通过接收到的目标配置的标识或目标小区的标识指示目标配置,终端在收到所述目标配置的标识或目标小区的标识后应用保存的目标配置。
另外,所述第一指示信息可以携带在切换命令(如L3切换命令)中,或,所述第一指示信息可以携带在CHO配置中,或,所述第一指示信息可以携带在LTM切换配置中,或,所述第一指示信息可以携带在对连接恢复请求消息的响应消息中,或,所述第一指示信息还可以携带在新增信令中,等等,本实施例对此不进行限定。
步骤102、所述终端执行第一操作;
其中,所述第一操作包括如下至少一项:
基于所述目标配置进行层3切换;
基于所述目标配置进行连接恢复;
在所述目标配置为第一切换过程中保存的配置的情况下,基于所述目标配置进行第二切换,所述第一切换和所述第二切换的切换类型不同,所述第一切换和所述第二切换均用于触发接入所述目标小区。
其中,所述第一切换和所述第二切换可以均用于触发所述终端接入所述目标小区。所述第一切换可以为层3切换,所述第二切换可以为CHO,或LTM切换;或,所述第一切换可以为CHO,所述第二切换可以为层3切换,或LTM切换;或,所述第一切换可以为LTM切换,所述第二切换可以为层3切换,或CHO;等等,本申请实施例对第一切换和第二切换的具体实现不进行限定。
其中,层3切换可以是在终端接收到网络侧设备发生的层3切换命令(如:由RRC层信令承载的切换命令;具体的,可以是RRC同步重配消息)时触发的切换。CHO可以是终端基于L3测量结果判断预配置的切换条件满足时触发的切换;LTM切换可以是在终端接收到网络侧设备发送的L2切换命令(如:由MAC层信令承载的切换命令)时触发的切换。在本申请实施例中,层3切换,CHO及LTM切换中任意两者均属于不同类型的切换。
另外,所述第一切换和所述第二切换的切换类型不同,可以包括:所述第一切换和所述第二切换的切换触发方式不同;或,所述第一切换和所述第二切换的切换命令的格式不同。
需要说明的是,切换触发方式(如基于预设条件满足触发或基于网络侧设备发送的切换命令触发)或切换命令的格式(如基于MAC CE触发或基于RRC切换命令触发)不同的两次切换,均属于本申请实施例中讨论的切换类型不同的范畴。
一种实施方式中,所述目标配置为第一切换过程中保存的配置,可以包括:所述目标配置为第一切换配置过程中保存的配置。示例地,第一切换为CHO,目标配置为CHO配置过程中保存的配置;或,第一切换为LTM,目标配置为LTM配置过程中保存的配置。
需要说明的是,CHO配置可以理解或替换为CHO预配置。LTM配置可以理解或替换为LTM切换配置,或LTM预配置。
一种实施方式中,所述第一指示信息携带在层3切换命令中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行层3切换。
一种实施方式中,所述第一指示信息携带在层3切换命令中,在所述目标配置为第一切换过程中保存的配置的情况下,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行第二切换,所述第二切换为层3切换。
一种实施方式中,所述第一指示信息携带在CHO配置中,在所述目标配置为第一切换过程中保存的配置的情况下,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行第二切换,所述第二切换为CHO。
一种实施方式中,所述第一指示信息携带在LTM切换配置中,在所述目标配置为第一切换过程中保存的配置的情况下,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行第二切换,所述第二切换为LTM切换。
一种实施方式中,所述第一指示信息携带在对连接恢复请求消息的响应消息中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行连接恢复。
一种实施方式中,所述终端接收网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息之前,所述方法还包括:所述终端接收所述网络侧设备发送的第二信令,所述第二信令用于指示所述终端保存所述目标配置,或所述第二信令用于指示所述终端不保存所述目标配置。
一种实施方式中,所述终端可以基于所述目标配置进行层3切换。在所述目标配置为第三切换过程中保存的配置的情况下,终端可以基于所述目标配置进行第四切换,所述第三切换和所述第四切换的切换类型均为层3切换,所述第三切换和所述第四切换均用于接入所述目标小区。例如:T1时刻:终端收到L3切换命令,切入cell1,保存收到的cell1的配置作为目标配置;T2时刻:UE切入cell2;T3时刻:网络侧指示终端使用T1时刻收到的切换命令,执行L3切换,切入cell1,此时终端应用T1时刻保存的目标配置。
一种实施方式中,终端接收网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息之前,终端接收到配置信令,该配置信令包括目标配置,终端保存目标配置以及目标配置的标识信息(如编号)以供后继切换使用。该配置信令可以是传统的L3切换命令;也可以是LTM或CHO或CPAC配置信令。该目标配置可以用于终端接入目标节点(如目标小区)时所应用的配置。在后继切换时,网络侧设备仅需要指示目标配置的标识信息,而不需要重复传输目标配置。该目标配置可供LTM预配置候选目标小区使用,也可供条件切换预配置候选目标小区使用。
需要说明的是,可以通过协议约定目标配置中,可供或不可供后继切换使用的参数配置;对于不可供后继切换使用的参数配置,可以通过协议约定终端在缺失所述参数配置时的处理机制或定义新的方法确保终端获取所述参数配置。
一种实施方式中,终端从RRC_Inactive态发起连接恢复时,应用保存的所述目标配置。目标配置的获取方法包括但不限于L3切换命令,也包括网络侧设备基于LTM或条件切换(CHO或CPAC)机制预配置的候选目标小区配置。网络侧设备在连接恢复过程中,可以指示终端应用保存的配置。网络侧设备可以指示终端应用对应于终端发起连接恢复的小区对应的目标配置。示例地,网络侧设备可以指示终端应用的目标配置的标识信息,以指示终端应用目标配置;或,网络侧设备还可以指示终端应用当前服务小区(即终端发起连接恢复的小区)的标识所关联的目标配置进行连接恢复。网络侧设备还可以指示基于目标配置的更新配置,从而终端能够基于保存的目标配置及指示的更新配置进行连接恢复。
一种实施方式中,所述目标配置可以为用于所述终端接入目标小区的配置。所述第一操作可以包括:基于所述目标配置进行层3切换;或,在所述目标配置为第一切换过程中保存的配置的情况下,基于所述目标配置进行第二切换。
本申请实施例可以实现用于CPAC的目标PSCell配置信息的缩减。
相关技术中,传统L3切换命令,LTM配置和CHO或CPAC配置中,都会包含目标小区的配置信息,对于同一个目标小区,所述目标小区的配置信息中全部或大部分内容是相同的。传统L3切换命令,LTM配置和CHO或CPAC配置中的目标小区的配置信息是独立配置的,无法相关引用或重用。例如:如果网络侧设备给终端配置了候选目标小区CellA关联的LTM配置和CHO配置,LTM配置和CHO配置中的候选目标小区CellA的配置相同或大部分相同,但却要被配置(即在空口传输)两次,这造成了配置信令开销的无谓增加。本申请实施例中,终端保存接收到的目标配置,应用于后继的L3切换,LTM切换配置,以及CHO或CPAC配置,能够减少目标配置在空口的重复传输过程,减少了空口传递信令的开销。
相关技术中,CHO、LTM以及传统L3切换是相互独立的,例如:
Case1:在网络侧设备已经配置了CellA(作为候选小区)相关的CHO配置后,终端已经保存了切入或接入Cell A的目标小区配置(如基于网络配置的condRRCReconfig-r16,格式由RRCReconfiguration(以下记为RRCReconfiguration-CHO)消息定义)。如果此时网络侧设备发起传统L3切换(例如出于负载均衡的目的)将终端切换到CellA,网络仍然需要发送RRCReconfiguration(以下记为RRCReconfiguration-legacy)消息给终端,以指示终端切入或接入Cell A的目标小区配置。即使终端本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-CHO和接收到的RRCReconfiguration-legacy的全部或大部分参数的取值是相同的。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以将本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-CHO应用于L3切换,从而网络侧设备不需要再发送完整(或包含已保存的参数配置)的RRCReconfiguration-legacy消息给终端,能够节省配置信令的开销。
Case2:
在网络侧设备已经配置了CellA(作为候选小区)相关的LTM配置后,终端已经保存了切入或接入Cell A的目标小区配置(如基于网络配置的ltm-CandidateConfig-r18,格式由RRCReconfiguration(以下记为RRCReconfiguration-LTM)消息定义)。如果此时网络侧设备发起传统L3切换(例如出于负载均衡的目的)将终端切换到CellA,网络仍然需要发送RRCReconfiguration-legacy给终端,以指示终端切入或接入Cell A的目标小区配置。即使终端本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-LTM和接收到的RRCReconfiguration-legacy的全部或大部分参数的取值是相同的。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以将本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-LTM应用于L3切换,从而网络侧设备不需要再发送完整(或包含已保存的参数配置)的RRCReconfiguration-legacy消息给终端,能够节省配置信令的开销。
Case3:
在网络侧设备已经配置了CellA(作为候选小区)相关的CHO配置后,终端已经保存了切入或接入Cell A的目标小区配置(如基于网络配置的condRRCReconfig-r16,格式由RRCReconfiguration-CHO消息定义)。如果此时网络侧设备再配置CellA(作为候选小区)相关的LTM配置,网络侧设备需要再配置RRCReconfiguration-LTM给UE。即使终端本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-CHO和接收到的RRCReconfiguration-LTM的全部或大部分参数的取值是相同的。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以将本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-CHO应用于LTM切换,从而网络侧设备不需要再发送完整(或包含已保存的参数配置)的RRCReconfiguration-LTM消息给终端,能够节省配置信令的开销。
Case4:
在网络侧设备已经配置了CellA(作为候选小区)相关的LTM配置后,终端已经保存了切入或接入Cell A的目标小区配置(如基于网络配置的ltm-CandidateConfig-r18,格式由RRCReconfiguration-LTM消息定义)。如果此时网络侧设备继续配置CellA(作为候选小区)相关的CHO配置,网络侧设备需要再配置RRCReconfiguration-CHO。即使终端本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-LTM和接收到的RRCReconfiguration-CHO的全部或大部分参数的取值是相同的。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以将本地保存的RRCReconfiguration-LTM应用于CHO,从而网络侧设备不需要再发送完整(或包含已保存的参数配置)的RRCReconfiguration-CHO消息给终端,能够节省配置信令的开销。
在本申请实施例中,一套候选小区的目标配置可以供多种切换机制复用,网络侧设备配置候选小区的目标配置以及标识;在后继传统切换(即L3切换),或CHO或LTM预配置时,可以通过所述标识引用所述候选小区的目标配置,避免重复配置带来的信令开销。
在本申请实施例中,对于L3切换信令,网络侧设备可以指示终端保存该切换信令(比如配置其关联的标识);在后继L3切换,或CHO或LTM预配置,网络侧设备可以通过所述标识应用所述候选小区的目标配置,避免重复配置带来的信令开销。
一种实施方式中,所述终端可以基于所述目标配置进行连接恢复。
需要说明的是,相关技术中,终端进入RRC_Inactive态时,并不保存网络侧设备预配置的切换候选小区的配置。在本申请实施例中,终端和网络侧设备可以保留相关配置,那么,在连接恢复过程中,网络侧设备可以指示终端应用保存的相关配置,而不用再次在空口发送对应配置,从而能够节省配置信令的开销。
在本申请实施例中,在连接恢复时,网络侧设备可以指示终端使用保存的本小区(即终端发起连接恢复的小区)相关配置;或指示需要使用的目标配置的标识。
本申请实施例可以用于空口基于波束赋形技术的蜂窝通信系统。
在本申请实施例中,终端接收网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端应用保存的目标配置,或所述第一指示信息用于指示目标配置,所述目标配置为用于配置所述终端在目标小区工作的配置;所述终端执行第一操作;其中,所述第一操作包括如下至少一项:基于所述目标配置进行层3切换;基于所述目标配置进行连接恢复;在所述目标配置为第一切换过程中保存的配置的情况下,基于所述目标配置进行第二切换,所述第一切换和所述第二切换的切换类型不同,所述第一切换和所述第二切换均用于触发接入所述目标小区。这样,通过网络侧设备指示终端应用保存的目标配置进行小区切换或连接恢复,无需重复传输用于接入目标小区的配置,能够降低配置信令的开销。
可选地,所述第一切换为层3切换,所述第二切换为条件切换CHO,或层1或层2触发的移动性LTM切换;

一种实施方式中,所述第一切换为层3切换,所述第二切换为条件切换CHO,或层1或层2触发的移动性LTM切换,从而能够节省CHO或LTM切换的配置信令的开销。示例地,所述第一指示信息携带在CHO配置中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行CHO;或,所述第一指示信息携带在LTM切换配置中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行LTM切换。
一种实施方式中,所述第一切换为CHO,所述第二切换为层3切换,或LTM切换,从而能够节省层3切换,或LTM切换的配置信令的开销。示例地,所述第一指示信息携带在切换命令中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行层3切换;或,所述第一指示信息携带在LTM切换配置中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行LTM切换。
一种实施方式中,所述第一切换为LTM切换,所述第二切换为层3切换,或CHO,从而能够节省层3切换,或CHO的配置信令的开销。示例地,所述第一指示信息携带在切换命令中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行层3切换;或,所述第一指示信息携带在CHO切换配置中,所述终端基于所述目标配置进行CHO。
可选地,所述第一指示信息包括如下至少一项:
所述目标配置的标识;
所述目标小区的标识。
其中,所述目标配置的标识,可以包括所述目标配置的索引,或编号,等等,凡是可以用于标识目标配置的信息均可以作为目标配置的标识,本实施例对目标配置的标识不进行限定。
一种实施方式中,网络侧设备可以通过所述目标配置的标识指示所述终端应用保存的目标配置执行第一操作,或,网络侧设备可以通过目标配置的标识指示目标配置,从而终端可以基于目标配置执行第一操作。
一种实施方式中,网络侧设备可以通过所述目标小区的标识指示所述终端应用保存的与所述目标小区的标识关联的目标配置执行第一操作,或,网络侧设备可以通过目标小区的标识隐式指示目标配置,从而终端可以基于目标配置执行第一操作。
示例地,在网络侧设备仅为终端配置用于所述终端接入目标小区的一套配置(即目标配置)的情况下,网络侧设备可以通过目标小区的标识指示所述终端应用保存的目标配置,从而终端能够基于目标配置执行第一操作。
可选地,所述目标配置通过如下至少一项获取:
切换命令;预配置的候选小区配置。
其中,所述切换命令可以为层3切换命令(或描述为层3切换的切换命令)。
一种实施方式中,终端接收网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息之前,终端可以接收网络侧设备发送的层3切换的切换命令,该切换命令携带目标配置,终端可以保存该目标配置用于下一次层3切换,或用于CHO,或LTM切换。
一种实施方式中,所述预配置的候选小区配置包括目标配置。终端接收网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息之前,终端可以接收网络侧设备预配置的候选小区配置。示例地,该预配置的候选小区配置可以用于CHO,终端可以保存该目标配置用于下一次CHO,或用于层3切换,或LTM切换;或,该预配置的候选小区配置可以用于LTM切换,终端可以保存该目标配置用于下一次LTM切换,或用于层3切换,或CHO。
可选地,所述终端接收网络侧设备发送的第一指示信息之前,所述方法还包括:

以下通过几个示例对通信操作执行方法进行补充说明:
示例1:
在该示例中,NW为终端预配置的候选小区的目标配置用于切换。
步骤(1):UE接收NW侧发送的CellA的目标配置。
所述CellA为主服务小区PCell(包括但不限制传统L3切换或LTM等触发的RRC连接态UE的主服务小区)或主辅服务小区PSCell变更(包括但不限制传统L3 PSCell change过程或LTM等触发的RRC连接态UE的PSCell变更)的目标PSCell。
所述目标配置用于PCell或PSCell变更过程中,至少包括用于接入CellA的配置,或包括在变更过程结束后在CellA应用的配置。
所述CellA的目标配置关联一个标识;标识与CellA的目标配置一一对应。如果NW发送Cell A,Cell B,Cell C的目标配置给UE,那么Cell A,Cell B,Cell C的目标配置对应的标识的取值是不同的;或者如果NW发送Cell A的N套目标配置给UE,那么CellA的N套目标配置对应N个各不相同的标识取值。
例如:NW发送Cell A,Cell B,Cell C的目标配置给UE,其中Cell A对应的目标配置为2套,Cell B,Cell C的目标配置分别为1套。那么,Cell A的目标配置1、Cell A的目标配置2、Cell B的目标配置及Cell C的目标配置对应的标识分别为1、2、3及4。
Cell A的目标配置可以通过层3切换命令或PSCell change命令发送给UE,即UE收到Cell A的目标配置后,应用接收到的Cell A的目标配置接入cell A,并保存Cell A的目标配置,用于后继的PCell和PSCell变更流程,包括但不限于传统层3切换,LTM或CHO或CPAC配置。
步骤(2):UE基于NW的指示,保存接收到的Cell A的目标配置。所述指示可以在所述层3切换命令或PSCell change命令中携带;所述指示可以是与所述Cell A的目标配置相关联的标识取值,例如当所述切换命令中携带所述标识取值,UE保存所述Cell A的目标配置;否则,UE不保存所述Cell A的目标配置。
步骤(3):UE接收NW发送的层3切换命令或PSCell change命令,所述层3切换命令或PSCell change命令包含目标配置的标识(即第一指示信息)。
UE执行第一操作:
如果目标配置标识为1,UE应用Cell A的目标配置1中的参数取值切入或接入Cell A;
如果目标配置标识为2,UE应用Cell A的目标配置2中的参数取值切入或接入Cell A;
如果目标配置标识为3,UE应用Cell B的目标配置中的参数取值切入或接入Cell B。
一种实施方式中,所述层3切换命令或PSCell change命令可选包含目标配置标识所指示或关联的目标配置的delta配置。
所述delta配置可以用于替换目标配置中对应的参数的取值。例如:目标配置中包含5个参数(如参数O,参数P,参数Q,参数R,参数S)的取值,层3切换命令或PSCell change命令中携带了5个参数中的两个参数(如参数P和参数Q)的取值,则UE应用目标配置中包含的参数O、参数R及参数S的取值,以及层3切换命令或PSCell change命令中携带的参数P和参数Q的取值,切入或接入目标小区。
一种实施方式中,所述层3切换命令或PSCell change命令可选包含目标配置标识所指示或关联的目标配置未指示的配置。
例如:目标配置中包含5个参数(如参数O,参数P,参数Q,参数R,参数S)的取值,层3切换命令或PSCell change命令中携带了1个参数(如参数T)的取值,则UE应用目标配置中包含的参数O,参数P,参数Q,参数R及参数S的取值,以及层3切换命令或PSCell change命令中携带的参数T的取值,切入或接入目标小区。
示例2:
在该示例中,NW为终端预配置的候选小区的目标配置用于CHO或CPAC配置。
步骤(1)同示例1。
步骤(2):UE基于NW的指示,保存Cell A的目标配置1、Cell A的目标配置2、Cell B的目标配置及Cell C的目标配置;其对应的标识分别为1、2、3及4。
步骤(3):UE接收NW发送的CHO配置。其中,CHO配置中候选小区的目标配置直接使用目标配置的标识取值(即第一指示信息)进行替代。
例如:condRRCReconfig-r16被替换为了condRRCReconfigIndex,能够达到减少配置信令开销的目的:

类似的,对于LTM流程,预配置的Cell A的目标配置可以用存储的Cell A的目标配置关联的标识取值替代,能够达到减少配置信令开销的目的。
示例3:
在该示例中,NW为终端预配置的候选小区的目标配置用于RRC连接恢复过程1。
步骤(1)同示例1。
步骤(2):UE基于NW的指示,保存Cell A的目标配置1、Cell A的目标配置2、Cell B的目标配置及Cell C的目标配置;其对应的标识分别为1、2、3及4。
步骤(3):UE接收到NW的指示信令,该指示信令用于指示释放RRC连接,并进入RRC_Inactive态;UE根据指示释放RRC连接并进入RRC_Inactive态。
步骤(4):如图4所示,UE选择在Cell A进行连接恢复,发起连接恢复请求。
步骤(5):UE接收到NW发送的反馈消息,该反馈消息中包括的目标配置的标识取值(即第一指示信息)为2;UE执行第一操作包括:UE应用所述标识取值为2所对应的配置(即Cell A的目标配置2);可选地,在NW反馈消息中,可以携带Cell A的目标配置的部分参数取值以替换Cell A的目标配置2中的取值供UE应用。
步骤(6):UE发送连接恢复完成消息以结束RRC连接恢复流程。
示例4:
在该示例中,NW为终端预配置的候选小区的目标配置用于RRC连接恢复过程2。
步骤(1)同示例1。
步骤(2):UE基于NW的指示,保存Cell A的目标配置、Cell B的目标配置及Cell C的目标配置;其对应的标识分别为1、3及4。也就是说,每个cell仅可以被配置一套目标配置。
步骤(3):UE接收到NW的指示信令,该指示信令用于指示释放RRC连接,并进入RRC_Inactive态;UE根据指示释放RRC连接并进入RRC_Inactive态。
步骤(4):如图4所示,UE选择在Cell A进行连接恢复,发起连接恢复请求。
步骤(5):UE接收到NW发送的反馈消息,该反馈消息中包括第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示UE应用保存的当前服务小区(即CellA)的目标配置;UE执行第一操作包括:UE应用Cell A的目标配置,也就是说,UE直接应用当前小区关联的保存的目标配置;可选地,在NW发送的反馈消息中,可以携带Cell A的目标配置的部分参数取值以替换Cell A的目标配置中的取值供UE应用。
步骤(6):UE发送连接恢复完成消息以结束RRC连接恢复流程。
在本申请实施例中,UE保存接收到的目标小区配置,应用于后继的传统切换(如NW发送的RRC信令触发的切换过程),LTM切换配置,以及CHO或CPAC配置,能够减少目标小区配置在空口的重复传输过程,减少了空口传递信令的开销。考虑到NW触发切换时,UE通常位于小区边缘,信号质量较差,较小的切换命令更容易被UE成功接收,如果将保存的目标小区配置用于后继的传统切换,因为切换信令大小缩减,也可以提升切换信令被UE成功接收的可能,从而能够提高切换成功的概率。
