Abstract

一种IAB节点的移植方法及装置。所述方法应用于终端设备,该方法应用于第一IAB节点,该方法包括:接收该第一IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的RRC重配置完成消息;以及通过目标路径将包含该RRC重配置完成消息的第一上行消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点,或者,通过源IAB宿主节点将该RRC重配置完成消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点。

Description

IAB节点的移植方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域。
背景技术
集成的接入和回传(Integrated access and backhaul,IAB)确保NG-RAN里的无线中继。中继节点,即IAB节点(IAB-node),支持NR接入和回传(backhauling)。回传可以包括单跳(hop)或多跳。网络侧NR回传的终点,即IAB宿主(IAB-donor),表示包括支持IAB的额外功能的gNB。IAB宿主也可以称为IAB宿主节点。
IAB节点支持gNB-DU(Distributed Unit,分布单元)的功能,即IAB-DU。IAB-DU终止到终端设备和下一跳IAB节点的NR接入接口,并终止到IAB宿主上的gNB-CU功能的F1协议。另外,IAB节点还支持终端设备功能(UE功能)的一个子集,即IAB-MT,其包括,例如连接到另一个IAB节点或IAB宿主的gNB-DU的、连接到IAB宿主上gNB-CU(Centralized Unit,集中单元)和连接到核心网的物理层、层2(L2)、RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)和NAS(Non-Access-Stratum,非接入层)功能。
IAB节点通过一跳或多跳连接到一个IAB宿主。在拓扑中,该IAB宿主为根节点,IAB节点的IAB-DU接口上的邻节点被称为该IAB节点的子节点(descendant node),即子IAB节点(descendant IAB-node),在IAB-MT接口上的邻节点被称为父节点(parent node),即父IAB节点(parent IAB-node)。
应该注意,上面对技术背景的介绍只是为了方便,对本发明的技术方案进行清楚、完整的说明,并方便本领域技术人员的理解而阐述的。不能仅仅因为这些方案在本发明的背景技术部分进行了阐述而认为上述技术方案为本领域技术人员所公知。
发明内容
在某些情况下,需要进行IAB节点的移植(migration)。IAB节点的移植也可以称为IAB节点的拓扑自适应。例如,一个IAB节点在测量了链路质量之后,决定从原来的路径移植到一个新的路径上,原来的路径称为源路径(source path),新的路径 称为目标路径(target path)。进行移植的IAB节点称为移植IAB节点。
一个IAB节点的移植或拓扑自适应场景可以包括IAB宿主CU(IAB-donor-CU)内和IAB宿主CU间的移植或拓扑自适应。
对于一个IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU内的移植或拓扑自适应的场景,源父IAB节点和目标父IAB节点都由相同的IAB-donor-CU提供服务。目标父IAB节点可以使用与源父IAB节点不同的IAB宿主DU(IAB-donor-DU);源路径与目标路径可以有公共的节点。
Rel-17eIAB支持CU间(inter-CU)的IAB移植,对于一个IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU间移植或拓扑自适应的场景,源父IAB节点和目标父IAB节点由不同的IAB-donor-CU提供服务。目标父IAB节点使用与源父IAB节点不同的IAB-donor-DU。
对于一个IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU间移植/拓扑自适应的场景,移植或拓扑自适应过程或机制允许移植所有或部分这个移植IAB节点直接或间接服务的IAB节点即子IAB节点和/或终端设备;假设在新的IAB-donor-CU处,父-子(parent-child)节点关系(包括IAB节点以及终端设备)不变。
一个IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU间移植或拓扑自适应过程涉及以下三个阶段:(1)移植IAB节点的IAB-MT移植;(2)该移植IAB节点内的IAB-DU的移植;以及(3)该移植IAB节点服务的终端设备和该IAB节点服务的子IAB节点,即子节点的IAB-MTs的移植。
以上三个阶段可以是相互独立的过程,并且,对于阶段(1)-(3)的执行顺序不进行限制。
发明人发现,如果先进行阶段(1)、(2),再进行阶段(3),移植IAB节点服务的终端设备将会检测到无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)后进行连接重建、从而造成较长时间的业务中断。为了克服这个缺陷,假设先进行阶段(3),即进行该移植IAB节点提供服务的终端设备的移植,例如使用移植IAB节点中IAB-MT切换类似的信令流程,那么将存在以下问题:由于先进行阶段(3),即移植这些终端设备时,移植IAB节点与目标IAB宿主之间没有F1连接,那么移植IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点发送给移植IAB节点的响应消息(RRC重配置完成消息)有可能会传递给源IAB宿主。也就是说,这种情况下,目标IAB宿主无法获知这个终端设 备和/或子IAB节点是否完成阶段(3),无法重新开始为了进行IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU间移植或拓扑自适应过程而与其中断的数据传输。
为了解决上述问题中的一个或多个,本申请实施例提供了一种IAB节点的移植方法及装置。

在本申请实施例中,F1-U和F1-C使用IAB-DU和IAB-donor-CU间的IP传输层,另外,F1-U和F1-C有安全保护。
在本申请实施例中,在无线回传上,IP层通过回传适配协议(Backhaul Adaptation Protocol,BAP)子层传输,以确保多跳路由;IP层也可以用于非F1业务,例如操作维护管理(Operation Administration and Maintenance,OAM)业务。

在本申请实施例中,每个IAB节点和IAB-donor-DU上的BAP实体执行BAP  PDUs的BH RLC信道的映射。
在本申请实施例中,IAB-MT与IAB-donor-CU建立用于承载RRC和NAS的SRBs。图5是本申请实施例的IAB-MT与IAB-donor-CU间SRB的协议栈的一示意图。
在本申请实施例中,对于工作在EN-DC模式下的IAB节点,IAB-MT还与IAB-donor-CU建立一个或多个DRBs,可以用于例如传输OAM业务。对于SA模式,DRBs的建立是可选的。这些SRBs和DRBs经Uu接口信道在这个IAB-MT和它的父节点间传输。
图6是本申请实施例的一个IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU内移植或拓扑自适应的场景的一示意图。如图6所示,IAB-node 5是移植IAB节点,IAB-node 3是IAB-node 5的源父IAB节点,IAB-node 4是IAB-node 5的目标父IAB节点,IAB-node 3和IAB-node 4连接到相同的IAB-donor-CU以及不同的IAB-donor-DU。UE1是IAB-node 5服务的终端设备,IAB-node 6是IAB-node 5服务的子IAB节点。
图7是本申请实施例的一个IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU间移植或拓扑自适应的场景的一示意图。如图7所示,IAB-node 5是移植节点,IAB-node 3是IAB-node 5的源父IAB节点,IAB-node 4是IAB-node 5的目标父IAB节点,IAB-node 3和IAB-node 4连接到不同的IAB-donor-CU以及不同的IAB-donor-DU。UE1是IAB-node 5服务的终端设备,IAB-node 6是IAB-node 5服务的子IAB节点。
对于如上所述的一个IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU间移植或拓扑自适应过程中的阶段(1),移植IAB节点的IAB-MT移植意味着将IAB-node 5的IAB-MT从源路径切换到目标路径上;对于阶段(2),移植IAB节点内的IAB-DU的移植意味着将IAB-node 5的IAB-DU从IAB-donor-CU1切换到IAB-donor-CU2;对于阶段(3),移植IAB节点服务的终端设备以及这个IAB节点服务的子IAB节点即子节点的IAB-MTs的移植意味着IAB-node 6和UE1的切换。
而为了克服终端设备检测到无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)后进行连接重建、从而造成业务中断的缺陷,假设先进行阶段(3),移植IAB节点服务的终端设备以及这个IAB节点服务的子IAB节点即子节点的IAB-MTs的移植,即先进行IAB-node 6和UE1的切换,使用移植IAB节点中IAB-MT切换类似的信令流程,将存在以下问题:由于先进行阶段(3),即IAB-node 5与IAB-donor-CU2之间没有F1 连接,那么IAB-node 6和UE1发送给IAB-node 5的RRC重配置完成消息有可能会传递给IAB-donor-CU1。也就是说,IAB-donor-CU2无法获知IAB-node 6和UE1是否完成切换,无法重新开始为了进行IAB-node 5在IAB-donor-CU1和IAB-donor-CU2间移植或拓扑自适应过程而与其中断的数据传输。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例的各种实施方式进行说明。这些实施方式只是示例性的,不是对本发明的限制。
实施例1
本申请实施例提供了一种IAB节点的移植方法,该装置应用于第一IAB节点。
图8是本申请实施例1的IAB节点的移植方法的一示意图。如图8所示,该方法包括:
步骤801:接收该第一IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的RRC重配置完成消息;以及
步骤802:通过目标路径将包含该RRC重配置完成消息的第一上行消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点,或者,
步骤803:通过源IAB宿主节点将该RRC重配置完成消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点。
由此,目标IAB宿主能够获得移植IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的RRC重配置完成消息,从而获知该终端设备和/或子IAB节点是否完成路径的切换,因此,能够重新开始为了进行该移植IAB节点在IAB-donor-CU间的移植或拓扑自适应过程而与该终端设备和/或子IAB节点中断的数据传输。
在本申请实施例中,第一IAB节点是移植IAB节点。
在本申请实施例中,第一IAB节点服务的终端设备可以是至少一个终端设备,第一IAB节点服务的子IAB节点可以是至少一个子节点。向第一IAB节点发送RRC重配置完成消息的终端设备和/或子IAB节点可以是第一IAB节点服务的所有终端设备和/或所有子IAB节点,也可以是第一IAB节点服务的部分终端设备和/或部分子IAB节点。
在本申请实施例中,源IAB宿主节点又称为源IAB宿主,其表示网络侧在源路径上回传的终点;目标IAB宿主节点又称为目标IAB宿主,其表示网络侧在目标路径上回传的终点。
在步骤801中,第一IAB节点接收该第一IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的RRC重配置完成消息,该RRC重配置完成消息是该终端设备和/或子IAB节点使用目标IAB宿主节点配置的安全配置而完成RRC重配置后,即应用该RRC重配置消息里的配置,包括目标IAB宿主节点配置的安全配置,向第一IAB节点发送的使用目标IAB宿主节点配置的密钥保护(完整性保护和加密)的RRC重配置完成消息。
在步骤802中,第一IAB节点通过目标路径将包含该RRC重配置完成消息的第一上行消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点。
在本申请实施例中,该目标路径是该第一IAB节点的分布单元(DU)与该目标IAB宿主节点的集中单元(CU)之间的F1接口。
例如,该第一上行消息是第一F1消息。
在本申请实施例中,F1消息是指通过F1接口传输的控制消息;F1接口是指IAB-DU与IAB-donor-CU之间的接口。
在本申请实施例中,例如,该第一F1消息可以是终端设备上下文建立响应消息和终端设备上下文修改响应消息中的至少一个。
例如,与该终端设备上下文建立响应消息或该终端设备上下文修改响应消息对应的终端设备的该RRC重配置完成消息包括在该终端设备上下文建立响应消息或该终端设备上下文修改响应消息中;或者,
该终端设备上下文建立响应消息或该终端设备上下文修改响应消息包括至少一条该RRC重配置完成消息,对于至少一条该RRC重配置完成消息中的一条该RRC重配置完成消息,发送这条RRC重配置完成消息的终端设备与该终端设备上下文建立响应消息或该终端设备上下文修改响应消息关联的终端设备相同或不同。例如,该终端设备上下文建立响应消息或该终端设备上下文修改响应消息包括两条RRC重配置完成消息,其中一条RRC重配置完成消息来自该终端设备上下文建立响应消息或该终端设备上下文修改响应消息对应的终端,另外一条RRC重配置完成消息来自与该终端设备上下文建立响应消息或该终端设备上下文修改响应消息对应的终端不同的一个终端。
在本申请实施例中,又例如,该第一F1消息是上行RRC消息传递(UL RRC Message Transfer)消息。
例如,所有的RRC重配置完成消息包括在一条上行RRC消息传递消息中;或者,
所有由终端设备发送的RRC重配置完成消息包括在一条上行RRC消息传递消息中,所有由IAB子节点发送的RRC重配置完成消息包括在一条不同的上行RRC消息传递消息中;或者,
由一个IAB节点服务的终端设备或IAB子节点发送的RRC重配置完成消息包括在一条上行RRC消息传递消息中,由另外一个IAB节点服务的终端设备或IAB子节点发送的RRC重配置完成消息包括在一条不同的上行RRC消息传递消息中;或者,
由一个IAB节点服务的终端设备发送的RRC重配置完成消息包括在一条上行RRC消息传递消息中,并且由这个IAB节点服务的IAB子节点发送的RRC重配置完成消息包括在一条不同的上行RRC消息传递消息中。
在本申请实施例中,例如,如图8所示,该方法还可以包括:
步骤804:接收第一指示信息,
该第一指示信息用于指示该RRC重配置完成消息是使用目标IAB宿主节点配置的安全配置保护的RRC重配置完成消息,或者,指示该RRC重配置完成消息是发送给该目标IAB宿主节点的,或者,指示该第一IAB节点存储该RRC重配置完成消息。
在本申请实施例中,步骤804可以和步骤801同时进行,也可以先后执行,本申请实施例不对这两个步骤的执行顺序进行限制。
例如,向第一IAB节点发送RRC重配置完成消息的终端设备和/或子IAB节点在发送该RRC重配置完成消息时,在低层包括该第一指示信息而发送给第一IAB节点。
在本申请实施例中,该第一指示信息用于指示同一RLC PDU或MAC PDU里的RRC消息。
例如,该第一指示信息包括在RLC组头里,或者,包括在MAC组头里。
在本申请实施例中,当第一IAB节点IAB-DU接收到该第一指示信息时,在第一IAB节点的分布单元(IAB-DU)里,MAC层或RLC层或BAP层存储该RRC重配置完成消息。
例如,第一IAB节点接收到一个终端设备和/或子IAB节点发送的数据包,MAC层解包收到该第一指示信息和一个MAC SDU,MAC层存储该MAC SDU;或者,第一IAB节点接收到一个终端设备和/或子IAB节点发送的数据包,RLC层解包收到 该第一指示信息和一个RLC SDU,RLC层存储该RLC SDU。
还可以包括:当第一IAB节点IAB-DU接收到该第一指示信息时,IAB-MT的BAP层存储该RRC重配置完成消息。
对于第一指示信息来自该第一IAB节点服务的子IAB节点的情况,该第一指示信息还可以包括在BAP组头里,IAB-MT或IAB-DU的BAP层存储该RRC重配置完成消息。另外,还可以包括该第一IAB节点的IAB-DU的BAP将该第一指示信息传递给IAB-MT的BAP层。
另外,还可以包括:该第一IAB节点的IAB-DU的MAC层将该第一指示信息传递给RLC层。例如,第一IAB节点接收到一个终端设备和/或子IAB节点发送的数据包,MAC层解包收到该第一指示信息和一个RLC SDU,MAC层将该第一指示信息和该MAC SDU,即RLC PDU递交给RLC层,RLC层解包得到RLC SDU,存储该RLC SDU。
还可以包括:该第一IAB节点的IAB-DU的MAC层将该第一指示信息传递给BAP层。例如,第一IAB节点接收到一个终端设备和/或子IAB节点发送的数据包,MAC层解包收到该第一指示信息和一个RLC SDU,MAC层将该第一指示信息和该MAC SDU,即RLC PDU递交给RLC层;RLC层解包得到RLC SDU,将该第一指示信息和该RLC SDU,即BAP PDU递交给BAP层;BAP层解包得到BAP SDU,存储该BAP SDU。
还可以包括:该第一IAB节点的IAB-DU的RLC层将该第一指示信息传递给BAP层。例如,第一IAB节点接收到一个终端设备和/或子IAB节点发送的数据包,RLC层解包收到该第一指示信息和一个RLC SDU,将该第一指示信息和该RLC SDU,即BAP PDU递交给BAP层;BAP层解包得到BAP SDU,存储该BAP SDU。
在步骤802中,通过目标路径将包含该RRC重配置完成消息的第一上行消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点。图9是本申请实施例1的实现步骤802的方法的一示意图。如图9所示,该方法包括:
步骤901:存储该RRC重配置完成消息;
步骤902:建立该目标路径;以及
步骤903:通过该目标路径将该第一上行消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点。
在本申请实施例中,对于第一IAB节点来说,RRC消息可以是不可见的,也就 是说,第一IAB节点仅知道存储一个RLC/MAC SDU,可以不知道这个RLC/MAC SDU里包括的内容,例如该RRC重配置完成消息。
在本申请实施例中,第一IAB节点在接收到来自该第一IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的RRC重配置完成消息时,先存储该RRC重配置完成消息,并建立该目标路径,第一IAB节点通过该目标路径将包含该RRC重配置完成消息的该第一上行消息发送给目标IAB宿主节点。
在本申请实施例中,源IAB宿主节点向第一IAB节点的源父IAB节点发送第二下行消息,例如,该第二下行消息是一条F1消息,例如,该第二下行消息是UE上下文修改请求消息(UE Context Modification Request)或下行RRC消息传递(DL RRC Message Transfer)消息),该第二下行消息包括第二RRC重配置消息,该第二RRC重配置消息来自目标IAB宿主。第一IAB节点的源父IAB节点在收到该第二下行消息之后,向第一IAB节点发送该第二RRC重配置消息。
如图9所示,例如,该方法还可以包括:
步骤904:接收来自源父IAB(parent IAB)节点的第二RRC重配置消息;
步骤905:根据该第二RRC重配置消息,向该第一IAB节点的目标父节点发起随机接入过程;以及
步骤906:切换至目标路径。
在本申请实施例中,基于该第二下行消息里的指示,源父IAB节点可以中断与第一IAB节点的业务,从而第一IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的业务也会中断。
在本申请实施例中,可以由第一IAB节点控制与其服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的业务中断。
例如,第一IAB节点存储收到的来自源父IAB节点的第二RRC重配置消息,继续与第一IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点进行业务传输,直到基于指示或基于实现或基于定时器或基于一个数量和/或比例来中断与该终端设备和/或该子IAB节点的业务。这样,能够减少第一IAB节点服务的终端设备和/或子IAB节点的业务中断。
在本申请实施例中,例如,当满足第一条件时,第一IAB节点中断与该终端设备和/或该子IAB节点的业务。
例如,该第一条件可以包括以下条件中的至少一个:
向该第一IAB节点服务的所有终端设备和/或子IAB节点发送了RRC重配置消息或收到该第一IAB节点服务的所有终端设备和/或子IAB节点的RRC重配置完成消息;
第一定时器超时;
