具体实施方式
为了能够更加详尽地了解本发明实施例的特点与技术内容,下面结合附图对本发明实施例的实现进行详细阐述,所附附图仅供参考说明之用,并非用来限定本发明实施例。
需要说明的是,本发明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,简称“LTE”)系统及LTE系统的演进系统,例如先进的长期演进(Advanced long term evolution,简称“LTE-A”)系统、新无线(New Radio,简称“NR”)系统及NR系统的演进系统,例如免授权频谱上的NR(NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum,简称“NR-U”)系统、或下一代通信系统等。
不失一般性地,参见图1,其示出了能够应用本发明实施例技术方案的通信系统的非典型示例结构,该通信系统可以由UE,源主节点MN#1,目 标主节点MN#2以及目标从节点SN#1组成,上述节点可以是用于与UE通过无线通信链路进行通信的固定站,可以是LTE中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,简称“eNB”或“eNodeB”),或者中继站,或者车载设备、可穿戴设备以及NR网络中的网络设备,例如5G基站(gNB),或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。每个接入点都可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,如图1所示为例,源主节点MN#1能够为实线圈所示的地理区域提供覆盖,目标主节点MN#2能够为虚线圈所示的地理区域提供覆盖。可以理解地,上述节点提供通信覆盖的物理区域可以称之为“小区”,而且每个节点可以在不同频率上为不同的特定地理区域提供覆盖,因此,每个节点可以为多个小区提供通信覆盖。需要说明的是,目标主节点MN#2提供覆盖的多个小区可以称之为目标主小区群(MCG,Master Cell Group),如图1中的实线菱形所示,而目标从节点SN#1同样也可以为多个小区提供通信覆盖,因此,目标从节点SN#1提供覆盖的多个小区可以称之为目标SCG,如图1中点划线所示。
在图1中,UE可以是固定的或移动的,并且也可以被称为接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、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。终端设备可以是无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,简称“WLAN”)中的站点(STAION,简称“ST”),可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,简称“SIP”)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,简称“WLL”)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,简称“PDA”)设备、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、可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统,例如,第五代通信(fifth-generation,简称“5G”)网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,简称“PLMN”)网络中的终端设备等。
UE可以经由下行链路和上行链路上的传输来与一个或多个节点进行通信。下行链路(或者说是前向链路)是指从节点到UE的通信链路,而上行链路(或者说是反向链路)是指从UE到节点的通信链路。在图1中,具有双箭头的实线表示UE和源主节点MN#1之间的通信。具有单个箭头的虚线表示UE试图由源主节点MN#1所覆盖的物理区域切换到目标主节点MN#2所覆盖的物理区域。
在图1所示的通信系统中,可以支持网络发起的和/或UE发起的切换,对于网络发起的切换,UE可以在系统指示时执行切换,并且系统可以基于由UE进行的并发送到源小区的测量结果来为UE选择切换的目标小区。
基于图1所示的通信系统,设定UE具有双连接能力,那么UE在MN#1所覆盖的物理区域内,还能够与SN#1进行连接,从而实现双连接机制。UE切换至MN#2,并且配置完成与MN#2的连接之后,还会由MN#2触发配置与SN#1之间的连接,因此,UE由MN#1切换至MN#2的过程需要进行两次配置,从而导致切换过程中配置连接的耗时较长。
另外,以图2所示的通信系统结构为例,当UE仅处于MN#2的覆盖范围内,从空闲态进入连接态的过程中,同样也需要首先配置完成与MN#2的连接,随后才会由MN#2触发配置UE与SN#1之间的连接。因此,UE处于MN#2的覆盖范围内,在由空闲态IDLE进入连接态CONNECTED的过程也同样需要进行两次配置,从而导致了RRC连接状态变更过程中配置连接的耗时较长,增加了UE变更RRC连接状态并配置好双连接的时延。
以上两种情况,非典型性地例举了UE建立双连接机制的应用场景,可以理解地,本发明实施例的技术方案除了能够应用于以上两种场景以外,还能够应用于其他UE基于建立双连接机制而需要进行两次连接配置的场景。本发明实施例对此不再赘述。
基于上述说明,参见图3,其示出了本发明实施例提供的一种配置辅小区的方法,该方法可以应用于具有双连接能力的UE,该方法可以包括:
S301:接收测量配置信息;其中,所述测量配置信息包括测量频点信息和用于确认节点与小区对应关系的判定依据信息;
S302:根据所述测量频点信息测量得到测量小区;
S303:基于所述测量小区的标识与判定依据信息确定各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果;
S304:上报将各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果;其中,所述各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果用于主节点MN在为所述UE配置主小区群MCG的同时,还根据所述各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果确定从节点SN的从小区群SCG,并为所述UE配置从节点SN的从小区群SCG。
通过图3所示的技术方案,可以看出,UE在获得判定依据信息之后,能够确定测量得到的测量小区所对应的节点;并将各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果进行上报,从而使得主节点能够在配置与UE的连接同时,根据各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果来配置从节点SN的SCG。
具体来说,所述判定依据信息具体可以包括设定的节点标识信息,比如基站标识;也可以包括标识中具有设定的节点标识的小区列表。以上两种示例性的判定依据信息能够使得UE在获得多个测量小区之后,判定多个 测量小区是否属于同一节点,也就是能够在测量得到的测量小区中,确定节点所对应的小区。
结合前述图1所示的切换场景以及图2所示的RRC连接状态变更场景,而切换场景中会存在以下两种情况:1、UE与源MN之间为单连接,但切换至目标MN为双连接;2、UE与源MN之间为双连接,切换至目标MN仍然为双连接。基于存在的情况与场景,图3所示的技术方案分别可以按照以下情况具体实现。
情况一
若UE与源MN之间为单连接,但切换至目标MN后为双连接的情况下,所述接收的测量配置信息具体可以是从源MN接收测量配置信息。
当所述测量配置信息中所述判定依据信息为设定的节点标识信息时,该节点标识信息优选为小区标识的一部分,从而UE就能够根据测量得到的小区标识与节点标识进行匹配,确定各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果。具体来说,小区标识优选为LTE系统中的演进的统一陆地无线接入网络小区全局标识符(E-CGI,E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier)或者5G NR系统中的新空口小区全局标识(N-CGI,NR Cell Global Identifier),而节点标识则可以是上述优选小区标识的前20比特或部分比特,从而实现节点标识作为小区标识的一部分,以使得UE能够通过上述匹配过程确定各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果。
当所述测量配置信息中所述判定依据信息为标识中具有所述设定的节点标识的小区列表时,由于同一小区列表内的小区标识中具有相同的设定的节点标识,因此,UE就能够根据测量得到的小区标识基于小区列表进行匹配,从而确定各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果。
此外,在该情况中,还可以包括:接收源MN发送的汇报规则;当监测到符合所述汇报规则时,触发向目标MN上报各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果。
举例来说,汇报规则可以优选为小区信号质量高于设定的门限值。当UE检测测量小区中存在信号质量高于设定门限值的小区时,可以向目标MN上报各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果。
此外,在该情况中,还可以包括:接收源MN发送的测量指示信息;并基于该测量指示信息通过测量广播信道中的系统信息块(SIB,System Information Block)获取测量小区标识。
对于上报将各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以包括:UE可以将各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果承载于切换过程的相关信令中上报至目标MN。随后,目标 MN在为所述UE配置自身对应的MCG的同时,还能够根据各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果确定能够与目标MN配置双连接的目标SN对应的SCG,并且目标MN为所述UE配置目标SN的SCG。
具体来说,在切换过程中,UE可以向源MN上报的测量报告中可以对应各节点的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果,从而使得源MN通过节点之间的X2接口将各节点对应的小区集合及其测量结果发送至目标MN并且还可以向目标MN发送配置指示信息;该指示信息可以用于指示目标MN为UE配置MCG的同时还基于各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果为UE配置SCG。可以理解地,具体向目标MN上报各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果的具体实现过程本实施例不做赘述。
情况二
若UE与源MN之间为双连接,切换至目标MN后仍然为双连接的情况下,所述接收的测量配置信息具体可以是从源MN接收测量配置信息。
当所述测量配置信息中所述判定依据信息为设定的节点标识信息时,该节点标识信息具体可以是与目标MN具有直接接口且能够与所述目标MN配置双连接的备选节点标识信息;优选来说,备选节点标识信息可以为小区标识的一部分,具体实现备选节点标识信息为小区标识的一部分的手段如情况一中所述,在此不再赘述。
当所述测量配置信息中所述判定依据信息为标识中具有所述设定的节点标识的小区列表时,具体小区列表中,各小区标识中均会具有上述备选节点标识,从而UE就能够根据测量得到的小区标识基于小区列表进行匹配,从而确定各备选节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果。
此外,在该情况中,还可以包括:接收源MN发送的汇报规则;当监测到符合所述汇报规则时,触发向目标MN上报各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果及其测量结果。
以及,接收源MN发送的测量指示信息;并基于该测量指示信息通过测量广播信道中的系统信息块(SIB,System Information Block)获取测量小区标识。
需要说明的是,上述过程的具体实现如情况一所述,在此不再赘述。
对于上报将各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果,在一种可能的实现方式中,可以包括:UE可以将各备选节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果承载于切换过程的相关信令中上报至目标MN。随后,目标MN在为所述UE配置自身对应的MCG的同时,还能够根据各备选节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果确定能够与目标MN配置双连接的目标SN对应的SCG,并且目标MN为所述UE配置目标SN的SCG。
具体实现过程也如情况一所述,在此不再赘述。
此外,在一种可能的实现方式中,UE还可以对源MN的从小区进行检测,并且在所述源MN的从小区中,将具有作为目标SN从小区能力的从小区上报至目标MN;从而使得目标MN将源MN的部分从小区配置在目标SN的SCG中。
情况三
若UE处于空闲态IDLE,但期望变更为连接态CONNECTED后,与节点之间处于双连接机制的情况下,所述UE在接收测量配置信息之前,还包括:所述UE进入连接态,并在接收到所述测量配置信息之后返回空闲态。可以理解地,测量配置信息需要藉由与UE进行连接的主节点MN通过RRC相关信令进行下发,因此,为了能够下发测量配置信息,UE需要暂时进入连接态,并且在测量过程中处于空闲态。
在该情况下,当测量配置信息中的判定依据信息为设定的节点标识信息时;该节点标识信息可以包括MN节点标识以及能够与MN配置双连接的从节点标识信息;由此,UE通过测量得到测量小区之后,就能够根据测量小区的标识与测量配置信息中的从节点标识信息确定与MN配置双连接的从节点SN对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果,也就是SN对应的SCG。此外,UE还可以通过测量获得所述MN对应的MCG与SCG。
当所述测量配置信息中所述判定依据信息为标识中具有所述设定的节点标识的小区列表时,该小区列表可以包括标识中具有MN节点标识的小区列表以及标识中具有从节点标识的小区列表,因此,UE通过测量得到测量小区之后,就能够根据测量小区的标识与标识中具有从节点标识的小区列表进行匹配,从而确定从节点SN对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果,也就是SN对应的SCG。此外,可以理解地,UE还可以通过测量得到测量小区之后,根据测量小区的标识与标识中具有MN节点标识的小区列表进行匹配,从而确定MN对应的MCG与SCG。
相应来说,上报将各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果,可以包括:
向MN上报所述MN对应的MCG与SCG,以及所述从节点SN和所述SN对应的SCG。
具体来说,UE可以将各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果承载于向MN发送的连接请求中向MN发送。可以理解地,当MN接收到该连接请求后,在为UE配置MN对应的MCG与SCG的同时,还为UE配置SN对应的SCG,从而无需触发MN为UE单独配置SCG的过程,降低了辅小区配置时延。
基于图3所示的技术方案,当UE处于切换场景时,针对源MN,参见图4,其示出了本实施例提供的一种配置辅小区的方法,该方法可以应用于源MN,该方法可以包括:
S401:向UE发送测量配置信息;其中,所述测量配置信息包括测量频点信息和用于确认节点与小区对应关系的判定依据信息;

此外,基于图3所示的技术方案,所述方法还可以包括:向UE发送汇报规则;所述汇报规则指示UE监测到符合所述汇报规则时,触发上报各节点对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果。
此外,基于图3所示的技术方案,所述方法还可以包括:向UE发送测量指示信息;其中,所述测量指示信息指示UE通过测量广播信道中的系统信息块(SIB,System Information Block)获取测量小区标识。
基于图3所示的技术方案,当UE处于RRC连接状态变更场景时,针对UE待连接的主节点MN,参见图5,其示出了本发明实施例提供的一种配置辅小区的方法,该方法可以应用于待建立连接的MN,该方法可以包括:
S501:向UE发送测量配置信息;其中,所述测量配置信息包括测量频点信息和用于确认节点与小区对应关系的判定依据信息;
S502:接收UE基于测量频点信息和所述判定依据信息发送的所述MN对应的MCG与SCG,以及能够与MN配置双连接的从节点SN和所述SN对应的SCG;
S503:基于所述MN对应的MCG与SCG,以及所述从节点SN和所述SN对应的SCG为所述UE配置MCG和SCG。
对于图5所示的技术方案,具体来说,测量配置信息中的用于确认节点与小区对应关系的判定依据信息可以包括MN节点标识信息以及能够与MN配置双连接的从节点标识信息;由此,UE通过测量得到测量小区之后,就能够根据测量小区的标识与测量配置信息中的从节点标识信息确定与MN配置双连接的从节点SN对应的小区集合,也就是SN对应的SCG。此外,可以理解地,UE还可以通过测量获得所述MN对应的MCG与SCG。
此外,测量配置信息中的用于确认节点与小区对应关系的判定依据信息可以包括标识中具有MN节点标识的小区列表以及标识中具有从节点标识的小区列表。因此,UE通过测量得到测量小区之后,就能够根据测量小区的标识与标识中具有从节点标识的小区列表进行匹配,从而确定从节点SN对应的小区集合及其各个小区的测量结果,也就是SN对应的SCG。此外,可以理解地,UE还可以通过测量得到测量小区之后,根据测量小区的标识与标识中具有MN节点标识的小区列表进行匹配,从而确定MN对应的MCG与SCG。
对于图5所示的技术方案,具体来说,接收UE基于测量频点信息和判定依据信息发送的所述MN对应的MCG与SCG,以及所述从节点SN和所述SN对应的SCG,可以包括:
接收UE发送的连接请求;通过解析所述连接请求获取所述MN对应的MCG与SCG,以及所述从节点SN和所述SN对应的SCG。
