Description

无线通信的方法和装置
本申请要求于2018年12月29日提交中国专利局、申请号为201811633343.6、申请名称为“无线通信的方法和装置”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。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及无线通信的方法和装置以及通信设备。
背景技术
目前,已知一种终端通信状态,即,无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)去激活状态,简称去激活(inactive)状态。在该inactive状态下,在该inactive状态下,核心网设备、接入设备和终端设备都保留有终端设备的上下文信息。
并且,在该现有技术中,定义了基于无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)的通知区域(RAN based Notification Area,RNA),其中,RNA由一个小区或者多个小区组成,若由多个小区组成,该多个小区属于同一基站,也可以属于不同的基站,该不同的基站可以是同一无线接入类型(Radio Access Type,RAT)的基站,也可以是不同RAT的基站。
在inactive状态下,终端设备RNA内部移动时,不会向网络侧(例如,接入设备或核心网设备)反馈信道质量状况,并在移出RNA后需要通知网络侧。
例如,设inactive状态的终端设备#X的驻留基站为基站#Y,则当inactive状态的终端设备#X发生移动时,可能会通过例如,小区重选等方式,与新的服务基站(非驻留基站,记做基站#Z)进行下行同步,例如数据传输、RNA更新(RNA update,RNAU)、进行跟踪区(Tracking Area,TA)更新、注册区(registration area)更新等,即,基站#Z可能会成为终端设备#X的驻留基站。此情况下,基站#Z需要为终端设备#X重新分配RNA。
因此,如果RNA分配不合理,可能导致终端设备频繁发生RNAU,造成信令开销增大,并增大终端设备的功耗,影响用户体验。
另外,对于inactive状态的终端,基站会设置一个针对inactive状态的定时器(timer),具体地说,当终端设备进入于inactive状态时,该timer启动,如果timer到时后,终端设备仍然还没有数据传输,则基站可以进一步决策终端设备的状态,例如,可以使该终端设备进入空闲(IDLE)态;或者,可以寻呼该终端设备,而使终端设备进入连接态等。
例如,如果timer设置过短,可能导致当基站发现timer到时候进而控制终端设备进入IDLE态后没多久,UE又发起了与基站的通信链接,从而,导致信令开销的增加。
因此,如果timer的时长设置不合理,可能导致信令开销增大,并增大终端设备的功耗,影响用户体验。
如何合理配置inactive状态的相关参数,以降低信令开销和终端设备的功耗,成为急需解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种无线通信的方法和装置以及通信设备,能够实现inactive状态的相关参数的合理配置,降低信令开销和终端设备的功耗。
第一方面,提供了一种无线通信的方法,包括:确定参考信息,所述参考信息包括第一时长的信息和/或第一小区的信息,所述第一时长包括终端设备处于去激活状态的时长,所述第一小区包括所述终端设备发生基于无线接入网的通知区域更新RNAU的小区;发送所述参考信息。
根据本申请提供的无线通信的方法,通过使终端设备或该终端设备的源驻留接入设备记录该终端设备处于inactive状态的时长,并使该终端设备的目标驻留接入设备基于该时长为终端设备配置针对inactive状态的timer,能够为timer设置提供参考和依据,从而,能够避免因timer设置不合理而导致的信令开销;或者,通过使终端设备或终端设备的源驻留接入设备记录终端设备发生RNAU时处于的小区,并使终端设备的目标驻留接入设备基于该小区为终端设备配置RNA,从而,能够为RNA设置提供参考和依据,从而,能够避免因RNA设置不合理而导致的信令开销,进而,能够降低终端设备的功耗进,改善用户体验。

其中,该第一时长的信息(或者说,相关信息)可以包括能够直接指示该第一时长的指示信息。

例如,该第一时长的信息(或者说,相关信息)可以包括第一时长的起始时刻的指示信息以及第一时长的结束时刻的指示信息。
再例如,该第一时长的信息(或者说,相关信息)可以包括终端设备进入去激活状态的时刻的指示信息以终端设备结束去激活状态的时刻的指示信息。
其中,该第一方面提供的方法可以由第一接入设备执行,该参考信息的接收端可以为第二接入设备。
或者,该第一方面提供的方法可以由该终端设备执行,该参考信息的接收端可以为第二接入设备。
例如,该第二接入设备可以是该终端设备需要切换至的目标接入设备,该第一接入设备可以是该终端设备的源接入设备。
再例如,该第一接入设备可以为主基站,该第二接入设备可以为辅基站。
再例如,该第一接入设备可以为终端设备的原驻留基站,该第二接入设备可以为终端设备的新驻留基站。
需要说明的是,终端设备可以多次处于去激活状态,此情况下,该第一时长可以为多个。
并且,该多次去激活状态与多个第一时长一一对应,即,一个第一时长可以包括所对应的一次处于去激活状态的时长。
另外,所述终端设备发生基于无线接入网的通知区域更新RNAU的小区可以为一个或多个。

本申请实施例中的终端设备也可以称为:用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)、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等。
终端设备可以是一种向用户提供语音/数据连通性的设备,例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前,一些终端的举例为:手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备,虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧 家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、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、个人数字助理(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,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
此外,在本申请实施例中,终端设备还可以是物联网(internet of things,IoT)系统中的终端设备,IoT是未来信息技术发展的重要组成部分,其主要技术特点是将物品通过通信技术与网络连接,从而实现人机互连,物物互连的智能化网络。
在本申请实施例中,IOT技术可以通过例如窄带(narrow band)NB技术,做到海量连接,深度覆盖,终端省电。例如,NB只包括一个资源块(resource bloc,RB),即,NB的带宽只有180KB。要做到海量接入,必须要求终端在接入上是离散的,根据本申请实施例的通信方法,能够有效解决IOT技术海量终端在通过NB接入网络时的拥塞问题。
另外,本申请实施例中的接入设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备,该接入设备也可以称为接入网设备或无线接入网设备,可以是全球移动通信(global system for mobile communications,GSM)系统或码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)中的基站(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(evolved 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,或者该接入设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的接入设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的接入设备等,可以是WLAN中的接入点(access point,AP),可以是新型无线系统(new radio,NR)系统中的gNB本申请实施例并不限定。

接入设备为小区提供服务,终端设备通过该小区使用的传输资源(例如,频域资源,或者说,频谱资源)与接入设备进行通信,该小区可以是接入设备(例如基站)对应的小区,小区可以属于宏基站,也可以属于小小区(small cell)对应的基站,这里的小小区可以包括:城市小区(metro cell)、微小区(micro cell)、微微小区(pico cell)、毫微微小区(femto cell)等,这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点,适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务。
此外,LTE系统或5G系统中的载波上可以同时有多个小区同频工作,在某些特殊场景下,也可以认为上述载波与小区的概念等同。例如在载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)场景下,当为UE配置辅载波时,会同时携带辅载波的载波索引和工作在该辅载波的辅小区的小区标识(cell indentification,Cell ID),在这种情况下,可以认为载波与小区的概念等同,比如终端设备接入一个载波和接入一个小区是等同的。
图1示出了本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构的示意图,如图1所示,终端设备可以同时与两个接入设备存在通信连接并可收发数据,可以称之为双链接(dual-connectivity,DC)。该两个接入设备之中,可以有一个接入设备负责与该终端设备交互无线资源控制消息,并负责和核心网控制平面实体交互,那么,该接入设备可以称之为主基站(master node,MN),则另一个无线接入网设备可以称之为辅基站(secondary node,SN)。

RAN设备和终端设备之间的通信遵循一定的协议层结构。例如控制面协议层结构可以包括无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理层等协议层的功能。用户面协议层结构可以包括PDCP层、RLC层、MAC层和物理层等协议层的功能;在一种实现中,PDCP层之上还可以包括业务数据适配(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层。
这些协议层的功能可以由一个节点实现,或者可以由多个节点实现;例如,在一种演进结构中,RAN设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布单元(distributed unit, DU),多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。
如图2所示,CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分,例如PDCP层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,PDCP以下的协议层,例如RLC层和MAC层等的功能设置在DU。或者说,CU具有PDCP层以上(含PDCP、RRC和SDAP)功能,DU具有PDCP层以下(含RLC、MAC和PHY)功能。
这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例,还可以在其它协议层划分,例如在RLC层划分,将RLC层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,RLC层以下协议层的功能设置在DU;或者,在某个协议层中划分,例如将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU,将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。此外,也可以按其它方式划分,例如按时延划分,将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU,不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。
此外,射频装置可以拉远,不放在DU中,也可以集成在DU中,或者部分拉远部分集成在DU中,在此不作任何限制。
图3示出了适用于本申请实施例的网络架构的又一示意图。相对于图2所示的架构,还可以将CU的控制面(CP)和用户面(UP)分离,分成不同实体来实现,分别为控制面CU实体(CU-CP实体)和用户面CU实体(CU-UP实体)。
在以上网络架构中,CU产生的信令可以通过DU发送给终端设备,或者终端设备产生的信令可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该信令进行解析而直接通过协议层封装而透传给终端设备或CU。以下实施例中如果涉及这种信令在DU和终端设备之间的传输,此时,DU对信令的发送或接收包括这种场景。例如,RRC或PDCP层的信令最终会处理为PHY层的信令发送给终端设备,或者,由接收到的PHY层的信令转变而来。在这种架构下,该RRC或PDCP层的信令,即也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU和射频发送的。
在以上实施例中CU划分为RAN侧的网络设备,此外,也可以将CU划分为CN侧的网络设备,在此不做限制。
本申请以下实施例中的装置,根据其实现的功能,可以位于终端设备或网络设备。当采用以上CU-DU的结构时,网络设备可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。
图4是能够适用本申请实施例通信方法的系统100的示意图。如图4所示,该系统100包括接入设备102,接入设备102可包括1个天线或多个天线例如,天线104、106、108、110、112和114。另外,接入设备102可附加地包括发射机链和接收机链,本领域普通技术人员可以理解,它们均可包括与信号发送和接收相关的多个部件(例如处理器、调制器、复用器、解调器、解复用器或天线等)。
接入设备102可以与多个终端设备(例如终端设备116和终端设备122)通信。然而,可以理解,接入设备102可以与类似于终端设备116或终端设备122的任意数目的终端设备通信。终端设备116和122可以是例如蜂窝电话、智能电话、便携式电脑、手持通信设备、手持计算设备、卫星无线电装置、全球定位系统、PDA和/或用于在无线通信系统100上通信的任意其它适合设备。
如图4所示,终端设备116与天线112和114通信,其中天线112和114通过前向链 路(也称为下行链路)118向终端设备116发送信息,并通过反向链路(也称为上行链路)120从终端设备116接收信息。此外,终端设备122与天线104和106通信,其中天线104和106通过前向链路124向终端设备122发送信息,并通过反向链路126从终端设备122接收信息。
例如,在频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统中,例如,前向链路118可与反向链路120使用不同的频带,前向链路124可与反向链路126使用不同的频带。
再例如,在时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)系统和全双工(full duplex)系统中,前向链路118和反向链路120可使用共同频带,前向链路124和反向链路126可使用共同频带。
被设计用于通信的每个天线(或者由多个天线组成的天线组)和/或区域称为接入设备102的扇区。例如,可将天线组设计为与接入设备102覆盖区域的扇区中的终端设备通信。接入设备可以通过单个天线或多天线发射分集向其对应的扇区内所有的终端设备发送信号。在接入设备102通过前向链路118和124分别与终端设备116和122进行通信的过程中,接入设备102的发射天线也可利用波束成形来改善前向链路118和124的信噪比。此外,与接入设备通过单个天线或多天线发射分集向它所有的终端设备发送信号的方式相比,在接入设备102利用波束成形向相关覆盖区域中随机分散的终端设备116和122发送信号时,相邻小区中的移动设备会受到较少的干扰。
在给定时间,接入设备102、终端设备116或终端设备122可以是无线通信发送装置和/或无线通信接收装置。当发送数据时,无线通信发送装置可对数据进行编码以用于传输。具体地,无线通信发送装置可获取(例如生成、从其它通信装置接收、或在存储器中保存等)要通过信道发送至无线通信接收装置的一定数目的数据比特。这种数据比特可包含在数据的传输块(或多个传输块)中,传输块可被分段以产生多个码块。
此外,该通信系统100可以是PLMN网络、D2D网络、M2M网络、IoT网络或者其他网络,图4只是举例的简化示意图,网络中还可以包括其他接入设备,图4中未予以画出。

在本申请实施例中,终端设备或接入设备包括硬件层、运行在硬件层之上的操作系统层,以及运行在操作系统层上的应用层。该硬件层包括中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、内存管理单元(memory management unit,MMU)和内存(也称为主存)等硬件。该操作系统可以是任意一种或多种通过进程(process)实现业务处理的计算机操作系统,例如,Linux操作系统、Unix操作系统、Android操作系统、iOS操作系统或windows操作系统等。该应用层包含浏览器、通讯录、文字处理软件、即时通信软件等应用。并且,本申请实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可,例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是终端设备或网络设备,或者,是终端设备或网络设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。
另外,本申请的各个方面或特征可以实现成方法、装置或使用标准编程和/或工程技 术的制品。本申请中使用的术语“制品”涵盖可从任何计算机可读器件、载体或介质访问的计算机程序。例如,计算机可读介质可以包括,但不限于:磁存储器件(例如,硬盘、软盘或磁带等),光盘(例如,压缩盘(compact disc,CD)、数字通用盘(digital versatile disc,DVD)等),智能卡和闪存器件(例如,可擦写可编程只读存储器(erasable programmable read-only memory,EPROM)、卡、棒或钥匙驱动器等)。另外,本文描述的各种存储介质可代表用于存储信息的一个或多个设备和/或其它机器可读介质。术语“机器可读介质”可包括但不限于,无线信道和能够存储、包含和/或承载指令和/或数据的各种其它介质。
