- the gNB 200 When the gNB 200 receives the RRCSetupRequest message including the SN information in step S203, the gNB200 includes the association setting information in the RRCSetup message and transmits it in step S204.
- the RRCSetup message is a message for transitioning the UE 100 from the RRC idle state to the RRC connection state. The UE 100 transitions to the RRC connection state in response to the reception of the RRCSetup message.
- the gNB 200 When the gNB 200 receives the RRCResumeRequest message including the SN information in step S203, the gNB200 includes the association setting information in the RRCResume message and transmits it in step S204.
- the RRC Race message is a message for transitioning the UE 100 from the RRC inactive state to the RRC connection state. The UE 100 transitions to the RRC connection state in response to the reception of the RRCResume message.
- step S205 the UE 100 associates the PTP data path with the PTM radio bearer, activates the PTP data path, and starts receiving the MBS data packet via the PTP data path.
- FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an operation related to the operation pattern 3.
- the UE 100 is one of the RRC connected state, the RRC idle state, and the RRC inactive state.
- step S301 the UE 100 receives the MBS service from the gNB 200 via the PTM radio bearer.
- step S302 The processing in step S302 is the same as that in step S104.
- step S302: YES When the parameter indicating the communication quality satisfies the threshold value (step S302: YES), the UE 100 advances the process to step S303.
- step S302: NO when the parameter indicating the communication quality does not satisfy the threshold value condition (step S302: NO), the UE 100 advances the process to step S304.
- step S303 the UE 100 transmits the SN information to the gNB 200.
- the UE 100 applies the transmission of NACK (Negative Acknowledgment) feedback.
- the NACK feedback is feedback information requesting the retransmission of the MBS data packet in the PTM radio bearer.
- the NACK feedback may be information requesting retransmission by HARQ processing (HARQ feedback) or information requesting retransmission by ARP processing (ARQ feedback).
- HARQ feedback HARQ feedback
- ARQ feedback ARQ feedback
- the UE 100 to which the transmission of the NACK feedback is applied fails to receive the MBS data packet transmitted by the PTM radio bearer
- the UE 100 transmits the NACK feedback corresponding to the MBS data packet to the gNB 200.
- the gNB 200 Upon receiving the NACK feedback, the gNB 200 retransmits the data packet corresponding to the NACK feedback on the PTM radio bearer (PTM logical channel).
- the UE 100 under gNB200 applies NACK feedback transmission or switches to PTP transmission depending on the communication quality. Therefore, it is possible to avoid frequent occurrence of PTM retransmission due to application of NACK feedback transmission to all UEs 100 under gNB200.
- the UE 100 associates one PTM logical channel with one PTP logical channel based on the association setting information, but is not limited to this.
- the UE 100 receives the MBS service via one or more PTM logical channels, it receives the association setting information from the gNB 200 including the information for setting the association between one or more PTP logical channels and one or more PTM logical channels. You may set the association.
- a program may be provided that causes a computer to execute each process performed by the UE 100 and the base station 200 (base station 200A, base station 200B).
- the program may be recorded on a computer-readable medium.
- Computer-readable media can be used to install programs on a computer.
- the computer-readable medium on which the program is recorded may be a non-transient recording medium.
- the non-transient recording medium is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM.
- a circuit for executing each process performed by the UE 100 and the base station 200 (base station 200A, base station 200B) is integrated, and at least a part of the UE 100 and the base station 200 (base station 200A, base station 200B) is a semiconductor integrated circuit. It may be configured as (chipset, SoC).

Abstract
Description
まず、一実施形態に係る移動通信システムの構成について説明する。一実施形態に係る移動通信システムは3GPPの5Gシステムであるが、移動通信システムには、LTEが少なくとも部分的に適用されてもよい。
次に、デュアルコネクティビティ(DC)の概要について説明する。以下において、NRアクセスを含むDCを主として想定する。このようなDCは、MR-DC(Multi-RAT DC)又はMulti-connectivityと呼ばれることがある。図6は、DCの一例を示す図である。
次に、MBSサービス受信の概要について説明する。UE100は、RRC接続状態でMBSサービスを受信してもよいし、RRCアイドル状態又はRRCインアクティブ状態でMBSサービスを受信してもよい。
次に、一実施形態に係る通信制御方法を説明する。
図8は、一実施形態に係る基本動作のシーケンスを示す図である。
上述の基本動作を前提とする一実施形態の動作パターン1を説明する。動作パターン1は、UE100が、PTP伝送での受信が要求されるMBSデータパケットに対応するシーケンス番号を送信することに関する例である。
一実施形態に係る動作パターン2について、動作パターン1との相違点を主に説明する。図12は、動作パターン2の動作を説明する図である。本動作パターンの初期状態において、UE100は、RRC接続状態、RRCアイドル状態、及びRRCインアクティブ状態のいずれか1つの状態である。
一実施形態に係る動作パターン3について、動作パターン1との相違点を主に説明する。図13は、動作パターン3に係る動作を説明する図である。本動作パターンの初期状態において、UE100は、RRC接続状態、RRCアイドル状態、及びRRCインアクティブ状態のいずれか1つの状態である。
上述した一実施形態では、UE100は、関連付け設定情報に基づいて1つのPTMロジカルチャネルを1つのPTPロジカルチャネルに関連付けたがこれに限らない。UE100が1以上のPTMロジカルチャネルを介してMBSサービスを受信する場合、1以上のPTPロジカルチャネルと1以上のPTMロジカルチャネルとの関連付けを設定する情報を含む関連付け設定情報をgNB200から受信し、当該関連付けを設定してもよい。
