应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(global system of mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(general packet radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system,UMTS)等目前的通信系统,以及,尤其应用于未来的通信系统。
本申请实施例中的终端设备也可以指用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、终端设备、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等。
本申请实施例中的网络设备或接入网设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备,该网络设备或接入网设备可以是GSM或CDMA中的基站(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(nodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(evolutional nodeB,eNB或eNodeB),还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器,或者该网络设备或接入网设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络设备或接入网设备,也可以是未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备或接入网设备等。
本申请实施例提到的第一状态的UE,可以继续保留该UE的专用用户标识(dedicated UE ID,DUI),并可以具有以下功能中的部分或全部:
1、可以处理一些背景业务和小包传输。
2、可以支持下行免调度(DL Scheduling-free)传输,即可以使用下行共享资源。
3、可以支持上行免授权(UL grant-free)传输,即可以使用上行共享资源。
4、可以不向所述第一设备发送信道状态信息。例如,不实时向第一设备发送信道状态信息,但是在一些特殊的场景下,第一状态的终端设备也可以向第一设备发送信道状态信息,例如,当第一设备向第一状态的终端设备发送指示信息,该指示信息指示该第一状态的终端设备向该第一设备发送信道状态信息,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
5、可以进行少量的连接管理,例如,长周期的链路自适应和长周期的测量。
6、可以保留与网络侧的无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接。
7、可以保留与核心网的信令面承载和用户面承载。或者,可以仅保留与核心网的信令面承载,删除与核心网的用户面承载。当有上行背景业务或小包数据需要传输时,可以通过与核心网的信令面承载发送,比如,可以通过接入层的信令携带数据包,或者通过非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)信令携带数据包。可选地,该数据包传输到移动性管理实体(mobility nanagement Entity,MME)后,MME识别其为背景业务或小包数据,转发给服务网关(serving gateway,SGW)。可选地,作为一种实现方式,第一状态UE可以保留与核心网的信令面承载,删除与核心网的专用用户面承载,建立与核心网的公用或缺省用户面承载。当有上行背景业务或小包数据需要传输时,可以通过与核心网的公用或缺省用户面承载进行传输。
8、发送上行参考信号,可以是周期性发送,也可以是满足事件触发条件后发送。事件触发条件可以是基于UE的速度触发,比如网络侧配置的当前发送周期为T,UE的速度门限为V。当UE速度小于和/或等于V时,UE可以自动延长上行参考信号的发送间隔为N*T,N=2,3,……。进一步地,如果UE静止,上行参考信号的发送周期可以配置为无限大,具体实现时,可以配置参考信号的最大发送周期,比如256s,30min等。

1、可以处理交互、会话类业务。
2、可以支持UE使用上下行共享资源和专用资源。
3、可以支持快速连接管理(如快速链路自适应、短周期测量)。
如上所述,UE有两种状态,并且可以在这两种状态之间进行转换,如当UE数据传送完毕后一段时间再没有业务数据传输,该UE可以从激活态转到第一状态。在第一状态的UE可以不监测动态控制信道,只需支持少量的连接管理,其耗电会比激活态少。
下面介绍本申请实施例的应用场景100的示意图,该场景100包括:主网络设备,至少一个辅网络设备和终端设备。该主网络设备可以是主新空口(anchor new radio,AnNR)101,该辅网络设备可以是辅新空口(assitant new radio,AsNR)102,该终端设备可以是UE103。AnNR101与AsNR102之间存在接口,通常情况下,该接口可以为有线接口。UE103

下面介绍本申请实施例的又一个应用场景300示意图,该场景300包括:主中心单元(anchor central unit,AnCU)301,辅中心单元(assitant central unit,AsCU)302,主分布单元(anchor distribute unit,AnDU)303,辅分布单元(assitant distribute unit,AsDU)304和UE305。AnCU301用于控制AnDU303,AsCU302用于控制AsDU304,AnCU301与AsCU302之间存在接口,通常情况下,该接口可以为有线接口。UE305与AnDU303建立的连接称为主连接,UE305与AsDU304建立的连接称为辅连接。当UE305从AnDU303覆盖的小区1(Cell1)移动到AsDU304覆盖的小区2(Cell2)时,可能UE305与AnDU303之间的信道质量下降,则需要AsDU304分担UE305的至少部分数据的无线承载,在该场景300下,UE305所在的小区标识可以是AsDU覆盖的小区标识也可以是AsCU的小区标识。又例如,当AnDU303的网络负荷较重时,需要AsDU304为AnDU303分担至少部分数据的无线承载的场景也可以采用本申请实施例的方法,当AsDU304分担AnDU303的至少部分数据时,核心网设备侧不感知用户的移动性,用户的上下文仍然保持在AnDU303。
应理解,上述的UE103、UE204和UE305可以为处于第一状态的UE,例如ECO状
态,的UE,本申请实施例不限于此。
上文中结合图1至图3,详细描述了根据本申请实施例的应用场景,下面将结合图4至图23,详细描述根据本申请实施例的通信方法。
图4示出了本申请实施例提供的通信方法400示意图,该方法400包括:
S401,第一状态的终端设备向第二设备发送第四消息,例如该第四消息可以是触发消息,用于触发所述第二设备发送第一消息。所述第一消息用于确定所述第二设备为所述第一状态的终端设备的辅助的接入网设备,所述第一设备为第一状态的终端设备的主要的接入网设备。所述第一状态的终端设备不向所述第一设备发送信道状态信息,并且核心网设备与所述第一设备保留所述第一状态的终端设备的数据面连接。
例如,该第一设备可以是图1中的AnNR101,该第二设备可以是图1中的AsNR102,该第一状态的终端设备可以是图1中的UE103。又例如,该第一设备可以是图2中的AnCU201,该第二设备可以是图2中的AsDU203,该第一状态的终端设备可以是图2中的UE204。再例如,该第一设备可以是图3中的AnCU301,该第二设备可以是图3中的AsDU304,该第一状态的终端设备可以是图3中的UE305。可选地,在S401中,该第四消息包括第一状态的终端设备的标识信息,当然第四消息也可以包括第一状态的终端设备的接入能力信息、第一状态的终端设备保留的承载信息,例如,承载的服务质量(quality of service,QoS)信息等等,本申请实施例不限于此。
在S401中,当第二设备接收到第一状态的终端设备发送的第四消息时,第二设备向第一设备发送第一消息。即该第四消息用于触发第二设备向第一设备发送第一消息。具体地,该第一状态的终端设备的标识信息可以唯一识别该第一状态的终端设备以及为第一状态的终端设备服务的第一设备,该第一设备为第一状态的终端设备维护了接入网侧与核心网网之间的数据面连接,也维护了该第一状态的终端设备的部分无线承载的上下文下信息,例如QoS信息和协议栈信息等,当第二设备接收到第四消息时,根据第四消息中携带的第一状态的终端设备的标识找到为该终端设备服务的第一设备,然后向该第一设备发送第一消息。
应理解,主要的接入网设备保留有第一状态的终端设备的核心网设备与接入网设之间的数据面连接,可选地,主要的接入网设备可以维护第一状态的终端设备的至少部分无线承载的上下文信息。辅助的接入网设备没有保留有第一状态的终端设备的核心网设备与接入网设备之间的数据面连接,但是辅助的接入网设备可以在空口侧为第一状态的终端设备传输数据。
具体地,第四消息可以是上行跟踪信号(Tracking),当第二设备接收到上行Tracking信号时,根据上行Tracking信号确定第一状态的终端设备与第二设备覆盖的小区之间的信道质量信息,形成第一测量报告,向第一设备发送第一测量报告,以便于第一设备根据该第一测量报告确定是否添加第二设备为第一状态的终端设备的辅助的接入网设备。第四消息也可以是小区更新消息,即当第一状态的终端设备从第一设备覆盖的小区移动到第二设备覆盖的小区时,第一状态的终端设备向第二设备发送小区更新消息,该小区更新消息包括第一状态的终端设备的标识信息,当第二设备接收到小区更新消息时,可以将第二设备空余的资源位置的资源指示信息和第一状态的终端设备的标识信息以及第一状态的终端设备所在的当前小区的标识信息携带在第一消息中向第一设备发送,以便于第一设备根据
该第一消息确定添加第二设备为第一状态的终端设备的辅助的接入网设备。同样地,第四消息也可以是第一状态转换请求消息,第一状态转换请求消息用于向所述第二设备请求所述第一状态的终端设备需要从所述第一状态转换为激活态,该第一状态转换请求消息包括该第一状态的终端设备的标识信息。
应理解,本申请实施例对于触发添加第二设备为第一状态的终端设备的辅助的接入网设备不作限制,也可以是网络协议规定,或者也可以根据特定的规则周期性地添加,或者也可以通过网络触发的方式进行添加,本申请实施例不限于此。
S402,第二设备向第一设备发送第一消息,第一设备接收该第一消息。
