技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,例如涉及一种数据传输方法、用户设备、服务节点及存储介质。
背景技术
随着无线多媒体业务的发展,人们对高数据速率和用户体验的需求日益增长,从而对传统蜂窝网络的系统容量和覆盖提出了较高要求。此外,公共安全、社交网络、近距离数据共享、本地广告等应用场景使得人们对了解附近人或事物并与之通信(Proximity Services,邻近服务)的需求逐渐增加。传统的以基站为中心的蜂窝网络在高数据速率以及邻近服务的支持方面存在明显的局限性,在这种需求背景下,设备直通(Device-to-Device,D2D)技术应运而生。设备直通技术可以工作在授权频段或非授权频段,允许多个支持设备直通功能的用户设备(User Equipment,UE)在有网络基础设施或无网络基础设施的情况下进行直接发现或直接通信。以下几种的UE本地传输路径都可以取代传统经过核心网的传输路径:单跳或多跳的UE到UE中继、跨集中式单元(Centralized Unit,CU)的数据中继、同一分布式单元(Distributed Unit,DU)内的数据中继、同一集中式单元(Centralized Unit,CU)内跨DU的数据中继等。目前,UE之间的传输路径往往是在数据传输之前预定的,不能根据实际情况综合决策,灵活性低,影响通信效率。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本申请进行说明。可以理解的是,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用于解释本申请,而非对本申请的限定。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。另外还需要说明的是,为了便于 描述,附图中仅示出了与本申请相关的部分而非全部结构。
在本申请实施例中,提供一种数据传输方法,可应用于UE,例如可以指源UE。图1为一实施例提供的一种数据传输方法的流程图,如图1所示,该方法包括步骤110和步骤120。

在一实施例中,所述源UE和所述目标UE通过固定配置或默认配置的Uu接口RLC信道传输PC5-S和/或PC5-RRC。
以下通过一些示例对数据传输方法进行说明。
示例1
本示例中,源UE与目标UE希望进行数据传输。源UE可以通过应用服务器或策略控制功能(Policy Control Function,PCF)或预配置的方式获取如下信息中的一种或多种:每个公共陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)的PC5通信授权信息,UE授权进行PC5通信的无线接入类型(Radio Access Type,RAT)信息,对应于每个PC5 RAT及地理区域下的空口参数,业务类型到PC5 RAT的映射信息及对应的发送配置(Tx Profile),地理区域的业务类型及对应的定时器(定时器用于指示UE自己分配的长期演进二层(Long Term Evolution Layer 2,L2)源设备标识的更新间隔,即分配Source L2 ID的更新间隔),业务类型与V2X(Vehicle to everything)频率及地理区域的映射,业务类型与通信模式(如广播、组播或单播)的映射,业务类型与广播或组播对应的目标UE标识(即Destination L2 ID)的映射,业务类型与单播连接建立初始信令对应的默认Destination L2 ID的映射,业务类型与PC5 QoS参数(如PQI、最大流比特率(Maximum Flow Bit Rate,MFBR)、保证流比特率(Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate,GFBR)等)的映射,接入层(Access Stratum,AS)层配置(如PC5 QoS配置与无线承载的映射),以及上述各种信息或参数的有效期等。
如果源UE的应用层希望发起PC5单播进行某个业务类型的数据传输,则源UE首先考虑是否可以重用已有的PC5单播链路,可以根据目标UE应用层标识,也称为对端UE应用层标识(Peer Application Layer ID)与网络层协议是否相同来判断,如果有可以重用的PC5单播链路,可以考虑修改已有的PC5单播链路,添加业务类型,用于源UE与目标UE的数据传输;否则,源UE将触发建立新的PC5单播链路。
如果源UE在与目标UE建立PC5单播链路之前已经知道目标UE的L2 ID,则源UE可以在初始PC5单播链路建立信令中使用目标UE的L2 ID作为Destination L2 ID并单播传输初始PC5单播链路建立信令,否则的话,源UE使用与PC5单播链路建立对应的V2X业务类型关联的默认广播destination L2 ID并广播传输初始PC5单播链路建立信令。
图5为一实施例提供的一种用户设备之间建立PC5单播连接的示意图。如图5所示,源UE的应用层提供PC5单播通信的应用层信息。应用层信息包括业务类型以及源UE的应用层ID。应用层信息中还可以包含目标UE的应用层ID。源UE的应用层还会提供单播通信的应用需求,在此基础上,源UE或目标UE可以相应的确定PC5 QoS参数以及分组流标识(Packet Flow Identifier,PFI)。
相应的,目标UE需要确定PC5单播链路建立信令接收对应的目标L2 ID。目标UE可以通过如下方式获取PC5单播链路建立信令对应的目标L2 ID:1)可以在源UE与目 标UE建立PC5单播链路的过程中发现;2)根据之前的V2X通信感知(例如对应于相同的应用层ID的已有或之前建立的单播链路);3)从应用层业务公告信息获取。
假设源UE发起新的PC5单播链路建立,则源UE发送直接通信请求(Direct Communication Request)消息,该消息中可以包含源UE的应用层ID,可选的目标UE的应用层ID,业务类型,安全信息。传输直接通信请求消息的过程中,源UE可以使用自己分配的Source L2 ID。
接下来,源UE和目标UE之间建立安全保护,当安全保护使能后,源UE可向目标UE发送IP(Internet Protocol,网际互连协议)地址配置信息和/或PC5 QoS流信息。例如,对于每一个PC5 QoS流,可以包含PFI,对应的QoS参数如PQI、MFBR、GFBR等,以及对应的业务类型。相应的,如果目标UE发现自己与直接通信请求消息中包含的应用层ID匹配,或是对直接通信请求中包含的业务感兴趣,则目标UE可向源UE发送直接通信接受信息,直接通信接受信息中可包含源用户的相关信息,如源UE的应用层ID,IP地址配置信息,目标UE请求的PC5 QoS流信息,例如,对于每一个PC5 QoS流,可以包含PFI,对应的QoS参数如PQI、MFBR、GFBR等,以及对应的业务类型。
PC5单播链路建立之后,UE(本示例中,在未指定源UE或目标UE的情况下,UE可以是源UE和/或目标UE)之间使用L2 ID节点对用于后续的PC5-S信令及业务数据传输。对于每一个PC5单播链路,UE自己分配一个PC5链路标识PLI用于唯一的识别一个PC5单播链路。每个PC5单播链路关联一个单播链路配置,其中包括源UE的应用层标识(Application Layer ID)和L2 ID,目标UE的应用层标识和L2 ID,PC5 QoS流信息。UE维护用于PC5单播链路的Application Layer ID与自己的Source L2 ID之间的映射关系。当UE的Source L2 ID改变时,不会影响V2X应用。反之如果Application Layer ID改变,则对应的PC5单播链路的Source L2 ID也要相应的改变。UE建立了PC5单播链路后,UE将PC5链路标识符(PC5 Link Identifier,PLI)、源UE和目标UE的L2 ID以及对应的PC5 QoS参数发给AS层,从而使AS层可以维护PLI以及PC5单播链路相关信息。
PC5单播链路建立后,源UE和目标UE之间可以传输数据,例如源UE可将数据包,该数据包对应的PLI和/或PFI信息,可选的还可将源UE和目标UE的L2 ID,发给AS层。源UE的AS层收到上述QoS信息后,源UE和目标UE之间继续进行PC5 RRC的配置,遵循专有信令或系统信息块(System Information Block,SIB)或预配置(Pre-Configuration)中的SL RB配置并通过PC5 RRC消息与对端UE交互SL DRB配置。具体来说:如果专有信令或SIB或Pre-Configuration中的SL RB配置包含新建SL DRB,UE根据PC5 QoS流的参数新建相应SL DRB,包括SDAP实体(如果尚无SDAP 实体)、PDCP实体、RLC实体、配置逻辑信道并为该逻辑信道分配LC(Logical Channel,逻辑信道)ID。
当源UE接收到对端目标UE发送的RRC重配直通链路(Reconfiguration Sidelink)配置中包含新建SL DRB,源UE也可以新建相应SL DRB,包括SDAP实体、PDCP实体、RLC实体、逻辑信道配置(使用对端UE配置的LC ID),此外,如果源UE为连接态,且该SL DRB被配置为双向DRB,且源UE尚未获得该双向SL DRB的发送参数配置,源UE发送直通链路UE信息(Sidelink UE Information)向基站请求相关配置,例如,源UE上报RLC模式及可选的PC5 QoS配置。
当SL RB创建后,源UE的AS层将从高层接收到的数据包映射到对应的SL RB,然后根据只有调度将该数据包组装成MAC(Media Access Control,介质访问控制)PDU并通过PC5单播链路进行传输。
需要注意的是,一个Application Layer ID可以关联UE内的一个或多个设备直通应用。如果UE有多个Application Layer ID,则从对端UE的角度来看,相同UE的每一个Application Layer ID可以看做是不同UE的Application Layer ID。一个PC5单播链路内可能涉及一个或多个业务类型,但是他们必须关联到相同的Application Layer ID。例如UE A和UE B有两个PC5单播链路,一个是在UE A的peer Application Layer ID 1和UE B的Application Layer ID 2之间,另一个是在UE A的peer Application Layer ID 3和UE B的Application Layer ID 4。
当源UE希望与目标UE进行通信时,假设源UE尚未与目标UE建立PC5单播链路,则源UE可以在PC5链路建立请求中携带源UE的Application Layer ID,目标UE的Application Layer ID,然后广播发送该PC5链路建立请求,如果目标UE收到该PC5链路建立请求,则向源UE发送响应消息。
示例二
通常情况下,源UE和目标UE可以相互发现并建立PC5单播链路,但在一些场景中,可能需要选择其他的传输路径,例如,SL资源拥塞,或是源UE和目标UE之间PC5单播链路的质量下降等,从而需要从全局考虑合适的SL数据传输路径。在这种情况下可以由服务节点统一管理UE之间的数据传输路径规划,配置相应的路由及承载,从而使得UE(本示例中,在未指定源UE或目标UE的情况下,UE可以是源UE和/或目标UE)之间的数据传输可以满足本地化需求,同时保证低时延,高效率。
对于源UE和目标UE之间的邻近情况检测,可以考虑如下几种通过PC5接口传输发现信息以进行邻近检测的场景:
1)PC5单跳:源UE和目标UE之间通过PC5接口进行发现并建立了PC5单播链路后,源UE可向服务节点上报邻近信息,邻近信息包括目标UE的以下相关信息的任意组合:源UE标识,目标UE标识(Destination L2 ID),传输类型(Cast Type),源UE的APP ID,目标UE的APP ID,目标UE的服务小区标识(Serving Cell ID),目标UE的服务节点标识,源UE与目标UE之间的链路状态,源UE与目标UE之间的数据流的QoS信息,源UE与所述目标UE之间的跳数,中继节点的节点标识。其中源UE和目标UE之间的链路状态可进一步包括源UE和目标UE之间的链路测量结果,源UE和目标UE之间的负荷和/或SL资源使用率。源UE的服务节点收到上述信息后,分析源UE和目标UE之间有哪些可能的路径,为源UE和目标UE之间的数据传输选择最合适的传输路径。
假设源UE的服务节点发现源UE和目标UE由同一个服务节点服务,并且服务节点发现源UE和目标UE之间的数据传输通过服务节点进行转发资源利用率最好,则源UE的服务节点可向源UE发送承载配置信息和/或路径配置信息。例如,源UE从服务节点接收的承载配置信息包含以下信息任意组合:Uu RLC信道配置(可包含Uu RLC信道ID,Uu RLC和/或Uu逻辑信道(Logical Channel)配置),SL RB ID(包括SL SRB ID或SL DRB ID),SL DRB对应的SDAP配置,SL DRB或SRB对应的PDCP配置。其中Uu RLC Channel配置可以是与特定的对端UE之间的SL RB数据传输,如目标UE的SL DRB 3,即该Uu RLC Channel只能传输源UE和目标UE之间的SL DRB3的数据。这种情况下,源UE从服务节点接收到的承载配置信息中包含Uu RLC Channel关联的SL RB信息,或SL RB关联的Uu RLC Channel信息。其中SL RB可以通过源UE标识,目标UE标识,SL RB标识信息指示。Uu RLC Channel可以通过Uu RLC Channel ID或Logical Channel ID指示。此外源UE的服务节点为源UE配置的Uu RLC Channel也可用于传输源UE与不同对端UE或目标UE的数据。SL RB的SDAP配置中可包含源UE的QoS flow到SL RB的映射。在一示例中,源UE还可接收SL RB与Uu RLC Channel的映射的配置,指示哪些SL RB可以映射到哪个Uu RLC Channel上。
此外路径配置信息可以是Uu传输路径,SL传输路径,或者是Uu传输路径和SL传输路径的信息。路径配置信息可以隐式或显示指示。其中隐式配置可通过承载配置信息来推断。例如服务节点仅仅为UE配置了Uu RLC Channel,并配置了与该Uu RLC Channel关联的SL SRB或是配置了SL RB与Uu RLC Channel的映射,这意味着服务节点指示UE通过Uu传输与对端UE之间对应SL RB数据。又如,如果服务节点仅为UE配置了SL RB对应的SDAP配置,PDCP配置,RLC信道配置,逻辑信道配置,其中SDAP/PDCP/RLC/逻辑信道配置都对应于SL或PC5接口,则隐式意味着UE通过PC5 传输对应SL RB数据。在一示例中,如果服务节点为UE同时配置了Uu RLC Channel和PC5 RLC信道,则隐含意味着UE可选择Uu或PC5进行SL RB数据传输,或是UE可同时通过Uu以及PC5进行SL RB数据传输。
需要注意的是,路径配置信息的粒度可以是每组UE节点对,也可以是每个SL RB。如果是每组UE节点对,则对应于具体的源UE和目标UE,它们之间所有的SL RB传输使用相同的路径。如果是每个SL RB,则对应于具体的源UE,目标UE,SL RB ID组合,该SL RB的数据传输使用相同的路径(e.g.Uu,SL,或Uu和SL)。这意味着对于在一个UE节点对内,不同的SL RB可以使用不同的路径传输。
目标UE可从服务节点接收到类似的配置。当源UE和目标UE的承载和/或路径配置好后,就可以开始将SL数据通过Uu RLC Channel或PC5 RLC Channel进行传输。
2)PC5两跳:源UE和目标UE之间通过中继UE转发:源UE通过PC5接口发送包含目标UE对应的应用层ID的第一发现信息。假设周围的UE1接收到该第一发现信息,且UE1具备PC5信息转发能力,则UE1可以进一步转发该第一发现信息,如果目标UE在UE1附近并接收到包含有目标UE对应的应用层ID的第一发现信息,则目标UE发送第二发现信息,其中可包含以下信息至少之一:目标UE的应用层ID,目标UE的服务节点标识,服务小区标识,驻留小区标识,最大跳数信息,已传输跳数信息,中继节点的节点标识。UE1收到该第二发现信息后在PC5接口进行转发,源UE收到该第二发现消息后,向服务节点发送目标UE的邻近信息,邻近信息包含以下信息至少之一:源UE标识,Destination L2 ID,传输类型(Cast Type),源UE的APP ID,目标UE的APP ID,目标UE的Serving cell ID,目标UE的服务节点标识,源UE与目标UE之间的链路状态,源UE与目标UE之间的数据流的QoS信息,源UE与所述目标UE之间的跳数,中继节点的节点标识。源UE的服务节点接收到上述邻近信息后,分析源UE和目标UE之间有哪些可能的路径,为源UE和目标UE之间的数据传输选择最合适的传输路径并向源UE发送对应的承载配置信息和/或路径配置信息。
3)PC5多跳:源UE发送的第一发现信息中进一步还可包含允许转发的最大跳数信息。当源UE周围的UE1接收到该第一发现信息,且UE1具备PC5信息转发能力,则UE1可以进一步转发该第一发现信息,在UE1转发该第一发现信息之前,UE1将最大跳数减1。假设UE1周围的UE2收到该第一发现信息,UE2可继续转发该第一发现信息,同样的,UE2在转发之前需要将最大跳数信息信息减1。该第一发现信息可以持续被相邻UE依次转发直到第一发现消息中的最大跳数信息减为0。假设目标UE在UE2附近并接收到包含有目标UE的应用层ID的第一发现信息,则目标UE发送第二发现信息,其中可包含以下信息至少之一:源UE的应用层ID,目标UE的应用层ID,服务节点标识, 服务小区标识,驻留小区标识信息,最大跳数信息,已传输跳数信息。第二发现信息中包含的最大跳数信息与第一发现信息包含的最大跳数信息的用法类似,即每经过一个中继转发节点最大跳数信息减1,直到最大跳数信息减为0,则该第二发现信息被源UE接收,不能再被转发。对于已传输跳数信息,则目标UE可以将第二发现信息中的已传输跳数信息设置为1,当相邻的UE接收到该第二发现信息后,如果继续转发,则将已传输跳数信息加1,直到源UE接收到该第二发现信息。源UE收到目标UE发送的第二发现信息后,可向服务节点发送目标UE的邻近信息,邻近信息包含以下信息至少之一:Destination L2 ID,Serving cell ID,源UE与目标UE之间的跳数,源UE与目标UE之间的数据流的QoS信息。源UE的服务节点接收到上述邻近信息后,分析源UE和目标UE之间有哪些可能的路径,为源UE和目标UE之间的数据传输选择最合适的传输路径并向源UE发送对应的承载及路由配置。
在一示例中,第一发现信息在经过相邻的中继节点转发过程中,每一个中继节点可在第一发现信息中包含自己的节点标识,该节点标识可以是L2 ID或是网络分配的标识。当第一发现信息到达目标UE时,目标UE可以根据第一发现信息中携带的中继节点的节点标识列表,将第二发现消息通过单播方式传输至中继节点,然后依次经过中继节点的转发直到到达源UE。在这种情况下,源UE向服务节点发送目标UE的邻近信息时,可以携带源UE与目标UE之间经过的所有中继节点的节点标识。
在一示例中,服务节点有可能根据信道状态,数据流量,负荷状况等动态更新路径配置信息,例如从SL传输路径转成Uu传输路径,或是从Uu传输路径转成SL传输路径,或是从Uu传输路径转成Uu传输路径与SL传输路径同时传输。对于Uu传输路径和SL传输路径同时传输的情况,服务节点可以进一步配置UE采用数据复制(Data Duplication)或数据分割(Data Split)方式在两条路径上传输对应SL RB的数据。如果UE被服务节点配置采用数据复制方式传递SL RB的数据,则服务节点可以进一步向UE发送数据复制指示,源UE将数据包进行SL PDCP加密后,将数据包投递到Uu RLC Channel以及PC5 RLC Channel进行传输。对端的目标UE通过服务节点配置的Uu RLC Channel以及与源UE之间的PC5 RLC Channel接收到数据包后,统一提交给SL PDCP实体进行排序,丢弃重复包等处理。如果UE被服务节点配置采用数据分割方式传递SL RB的数据,则服务节点可以进一步向UE发送数据分割门限,数据分割比率,主路径指示,辅路径指示和/或路径切换指示等。路径切换指示包括源UE标识、目标UE标识、SL RB标识和/或路径指示。UE可以根据服务节点配置的信息将对应的SL RB数据以数据分割的方式传输。
考虑到路径切换的时效性,可以考虑通过MAC CE(Control Element)发送路径切换指 示,例如通过MAC CE指示SL RB采用的路径,具体的可包含以下信息任意组合:源UE标识,目标UE标识,SL RB ID,路径指示,数据复制或数据分离传输指示。其中路径指示可以是Uu,SL,或Uu和SL。可选的,可以通过bitmap来指示对应的路径。
示例三
除了上述示例描述的UE之间根据PC5接口传输第一发现信息以进行UE邻近发现,还可以考虑由服务节点辅助进行UE邻近发现。
图6为一实施例提供的一种服务节点辅助UE进行邻近发现的示意图。如图6所示,假设UE1(即为源UE)希望与UE2(即为目标UE)进行数据传输,UE1可以组装发现信息,发现信息中可以包含以下信息任意组合:源UE的应用层ID,目标UE的应用层ID,业务类型,安全信息,QoS信息。该发现信息通过服务节点1转发至由服务节点1服务的UE2。
例如,UE1可以通过服务节点1配置的Uu RLC Channel传输发现消息,或是将发现消息通过Uu SRB进行传输。在服务节点1为UE1配置用于传输发现消息的Uu RLC Channel之前,UE1可向服务节点1发送本地传输能力信息(也可以称为传输指示信息),从而指示或请求服务节点1通过Uu口传输发现消息或SL信令或数据。
图7为一实施例提供的一种服务节点转发发现信息的示意图。如图7所示。服务节点1收到本地传输能力信息后,向UE1发送Uu RLC Channel配置。此外服务节点1可以配置信息类型到Uu RLC Channel的映射,其中信息类型可以是以下类型任意组合:发现信息,PC5连接建立信息,PC5连接修改信息,PC5连接释放信息,PC5保持(Keep Alive)信息,安全消息,PC5-S,PC5-RRC,SL SRB ID,SL DRB ID。类似的,UE2也可向服务节点1发送本地传输能力信息,从而指示或请求服务节点1通过Uu口传输发现消息或SL信令或SL数据。服务节点1收到本地传输能力信息后向UE2发送Uu RLC Channel配置。此外服务节点1可以配置信息类型到Uu RLC Channel的映射,其中信息类型可以是以下类型任意组合:发现信息,PC5连接建立信息,PC5连接修改信息,PC5连接释放信息,PC5保持(Keep Alive)信息,安全消息,PC5-S,PC5-RRC,SL SRB ID,SL DRB ID。
UE1完成Uu RLC Channel配置后,将发现信息发送给服务节点1。UE1发送的发现信息可封装适配子头,其中包含源UE标识,目标UE标识和/或SL RB标识。服务节点1接收到该发现信息后,可以通过Uu口转发发现信息。如果服务节点1知道该发现信息包含的目标UE ID是对应于UE2,则服务节点1可以通过单播方式将发现信息发送给UE2;如果服务节点1不知道该发现信息包含的目标UE ID对应于UE2,或是UE2处于 非活动状态或闲置态,则服务节点1可以广播发送该发现信息。具体的广播可以通过定义新的SIB来传输该发现信息,或通过MBS广播或通过多播传输。对于MBS广播或多播传输的方式,服务节点1可以为支持由服务节点中继SL数据或SL信令的UE、或是为请求服务节点中继转发SL信令或SL数据的UE,配置用于广播SL信令或SL数据的G-RNTI。此外,服务节点1可通过MCCH或专有信令向UE发送SL信令或SL数据的MBS广播或多播配置,MBS广播或多播配置中可包含以下信息任意组合:G-RNTI,SL信息类型,MTCH调度信息等。其中SL信息类型可以包含以下信息任意组合:SL业务类型,SL SRB ID,SL DRB ID,PC5-S或PC5-RRC等。MTCH调度信息可以包含DRX周期内UE被唤醒后的在线时长(ondurationtimer),被唤醒后每次成功解码PDCCH后保持激活的时长(drxInactivitytimer),调度周期,调度偏移量,调度周期,调度偏移量等。
对服务节点1转发的SL信令或SL数据接收感兴趣的UE2接收服务节点1发送的发现信息。UE2发现对该发现信息中包含的业务类型感兴趣或是UE2的应用层ID对应于该发现信息中包含的目标UE的应用层ID,则UE2可以通过Uu RLC Channel或SRB向服务节点1发送发现响应信息。服务节点1收到发现响应信息后,如果服务节点1知道该发现响应信息包含的目标UE ID对应于UE1,则服务节点1可以通过单播方式将发现响应信息发送给UE1;如果服务节点1不知道该发现响应信息包含的目标UE ID对应于UE1,则可以广播该发现响应消息。例如,广播可以通过定义SIB来传输,或通过MBS广播或多播传输。MBS广播或多播的过程与前面描述的服务节点发送发现信息的过程类似。
UE1接收服务节点1发送的发现响应信息后就可以完成与UE2之间的邻近发现过程。UE1可以向服务节点1上报发现的UE2的信息,如包含以下信息至少之一:源UEID,目标UEID,源UE的应用标识APP ID,目标UE的APP ID,目标UE的Serving cell ID,UE1与UE2之间数据流的QoS信息。服务节点1接收到上述信息后,分析UE1和UE2之间有哪些可能的路径,为UE1和UE2之间的数据传输选择最合适的传输路径并向UE1和/或UE2发送对应的承载配置信息和/或路径配置信息。
类似的,可以通过上述方式由服务节点转发UE之间的PC5信令消息,PC5发现消息,PC5 RRC信令以及PC5数据。UE将上述PC5相关信令或消息或数据发送给服务节点时采用单播方式,而服务节点在下行转发PC5相关信令或消息或数据时可以根据信令或数据的传输类型(Cast Type)选择在Uu口采用广播或组播或单播方式传输。例如PC5信令本身对应于PC5接口广播传输,则服务节点在Uu口通过广播方式下行传输;如果PC5信令本身对应于PC5接口单播传输,则服务节点在Uu口通过单播方式下行传输。 为了实现这一点,UE在向服务节点发送PC5相关信令或消息或数据时,数据包可携带PC5相关信令或消息或数据的传输类型,源UE标识(Source ID)和/或目标UE标识(Destination ID)。或者UE在向服务节点发送PC5相关信令或消息或数据之前,向服务节点发送Destination ID对应的Cast Type。服务节点收到包含PC5相关信令或消息或数据的数据包对应的Cast Type信息后,可以在Uu口进行对应Cast Type的传输。在一示例中,如果服务节点明确的知道destination ID对应的UE,或是对Destination ID对应的业务类型感兴趣的UE,则服务节点可以通过单播的方式将包含PC5相关信令或消息或数据的数据包发送给一个或多个UE。这里需要注意的是,Destination ID可以是UE自己分配的ID,也可以是服务节点或NGC为UE配置的ID。为了支持服务节点能够根据Destination ID找到对应的UE,或是服务节点能获知对Destination ID对应的业务类型感兴趣的UE,UE可以将自己分配的L2 ID或是NGC为UE分配的ID发送给服务基站。此外UE可以将自己感兴趣接收的业务类型对应的Destination ID和/或对应的Cast Type发送给基站。
示例四
示例3给出了同一个服务节点服务的UE之间通过该服务节点进行邻近发现和/或数据转发,本示例中可以考虑由不同服务节点服务的UE之间的邻近发现和/或数据转发。
例如,如图6所示,假设UE2(即为源UE)希望与UE3(即为目标UE)进行数据传输,UE2组装直接通信请求信息,其中直接通信请求信息包含的内容可参考上述任意示例1。UE2将直接通信请求信息发送给服务节点1。服务节点1收到直接通信请求信息后,如果可以通过直接通信请求信息包含的目标标识识别出直接通信请求的目标UE由服务节点1服务,则服务节点1可以向UE3转发直接通信请求信息;否则,服务节点1在各个小区范围内广播发送直接通信请求信息。具体的广播传输方式可参考上述任意示例。
如图6所示的场景,UE3不在服务节点1的服务区域,而是由服务节点2服务,则服务节点1可向相邻的服务节点2通过Xn接口发送直接通信请求信息。例如,服务节点1和服务节点2之间可以建立一个或多个Xn GTP(GPRS Tunnel Protocol,GPRS隧道协议)-U隧道,用于SL信令和/或SL数据的转发。这些Xn GTP-U隧道有可能是专用导频(UE-specific)的,也有可能是非专用导频(non-UE-specific)的或专用无线承载(SL RB specific)。其中UE-specific的GTP-U隧道,对应于服务节点1和服务节点2分别服务的两个UE对之间的SL信令和/或SL数据转发;SL RB specific的Xn GTP-U隧道,则对应于服务节点1和服务节点2分别服务的两个UE对之间的一个或多个SL RB。这里 SL-RB specific的GTP-U隧道有可能对应于一个SL RB,也有可能是对应于多个SL RB。此外non-UE-specific的Xn GTP-U隧道可用于转发跨服务节点的UE之间的广播或组播数据。在一示例中,对应于不同的广播或组播的目标标识,有可能建立不同的non-UE-specific的Xn GTP-U隧道。
用于转发SL信令或SL数据的GTP-U隧道可以根据图3所示的流程建立。服务节点1向服务节点2发送SL转发请求,其中可包含以下信息任意组合:SL发送请求,SL接收请求,第一SL转发用户面传输层信息,QoS信息,SL-RB ID,PC5-S,PC5-RRC,PC5-D,源UE标识,目标UE标识或目标组标识或目标广播标识,通信类型(单播或广播或多播)指示。其中第一SL转发用户面传输层信息可包含GTP隧道信息,如传输层地址以及GTP-TEID(Tunnel Endpoint Identifier,隧道端点标识符);QoS信息可以包含以下信息任意组合:PQI,RLC模式,SL RB的QoS参数,映射到SL RB的QoS flow标识,QoS flow的QoS参数。服务节点2收到SL转发请求信息后,向服务节点1发送SL转发响应信息。SL转发响应信息中可包含以下信息任意组合:第二SL转发用户面传输层信息,SL-RB ID,接受的QFI,PC5-S,PC5-RRC,PC5-D,源UE标识,目标UE标识或目标组标识或目标广播标识。其中第二SL转发用户面传输层信息可包含GTP隧道信息,如传输层地址以及GTP-TEID。SL转发请求信息中包含的第一SL转发用户面传输层信息对应于服务节点1侧的传输层信息,而SL转发响应信息中包含的第二SL转发用户面传输层信息对于服务节点2侧的传输层信息。如果是SL RB-specific GTP-U隧道,则SL转发请求信息和SL转发响应信息中,对应于一个SL-RB ID就有一个对应的SL转发用户面传输层信息;如果是对应于UE-specific GTP-U tunnel,则对应于一个源UE标识和一个目标UE标识,就有一个对应的SL转发用户面传输层信息;如果是对应于广播或多播的non-UE specific GTP-U tunnel,则对应于一个目标组标识或目标广播标识,就有一个SL转发用户面传输层信息;如果是对应于不同PC5信令类型的non-UE specific GTP-U tunnel,则对应于一个PC5-S或PC5-RRC或PC5-D类型,就有一个SL转发用户面传输层信息。此外还可以考虑将一个或多个SL SRB或DRB映射到一个Xn GTP-U tunnel。
当服务节点1和服务节点2之间的SL转发隧道建立后,服务节点1可向相邻的服务节点2通过Xn接口转发从UE1接收到的直接通信请求信息,服务节点2收到直接通信请求信息后,如果可以通过直接通信请求信息包含的目标标识识别出直接通信请求的目标UE是由服务节点2服务,则服务节点2可以向UE3转发直接通信请求信息;否则,服务节点2在各个小区广播发送直接通信请求信息。
UE3接收服务节点2发送的直接通信请求信息。如果UE3发现对业务类型感兴趣或是UE3的UE ID对应于直接通信请求信息中包含的目标UE ID或应用ID,则UE3可以 向服务节点2发送直接通信响应信息。服务节点2收到直接通信响应信息后,通过Xn接口的SL转发隧道发送直接通信响应信息给服务节点1。服务节点1可以通过单播或广播方式将直接通信响应信息发送给UE1。
通过上述服务节点的转发,实现了相邻服务节点服务的UE之间的PC5连接建立,后续UE2和UE3之间可以进一步的通过服务节点转发PC5 RRC信令,建立SL DRB,并通过服务节点的转发进行SL数据传输。
需要注意的是,服务节点在为UE节点对转发直接连接建立信息的过程中,可以感知UE节点对之间的邻近性状况,后续服务节点可以为UE配置采用服务节点转发还是通过设备直通链路传输PC5数据。
示例五
本实施例讨论本地传输的UE处于闲置或非激活状态(idle或inactive)状态的场景。如图6所示,假设UE1(即为源UE)希望与处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_INACTIVE态的UE2(即为目标UE)进行数据传输,UE1可以组装发现信息,其中发现信息中可以包含以下信息任意组合:源UE的应用层ID,目标UE的应用层ID,业务类型,安全信息,QoS信息。
UE1可以通过服务节点配置的Uu RLC Channel传输发现信息,或是将发现信息通过Uu SRB进行传输。服务节点1接收到该发现信息后,服务节点1可以通过Uu口转发发现信息。服务节点1可以广播发送该发现消息。具体的广播可以通过定义新的SIB来传输发现信息,或通过MBS广播或多播传输。对于MBS广播或多播传输的方式,服务节点1可以为支持本地传输(即服务节点中继SL数据或SL信令)的UE或是为请求服务节点中继转发SL信令或SL数据的UE配置用于广播SL信令或数据的G-RNTI。此外服务节点1可通过MCCH或专有信令向UE发送SL信令或SL数据的MBS广播或多播配置。
处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_INACTIVE态的UE2接收服务节点1广播发送的发现信息。假设UE2对业务类型感兴趣或是UE2的应用层ID对应于发现信息中包含的目标UE的应用层ID,则UE2可以进入连接态,向服务节点1发送发现响应信息。服务节点1收到发现响应信息后,将发现响应信息发送给UE1。UE1接收服务节点1发送的发现响应信息后就可以完成与UE2之间的邻近发现过程。UE1可以向服务节点1上报发现的UE2的信息,服务节点1接收到上述信息后,分析UE1和UE2之间有哪些可能的路径,为UE1和UE2之间的数据传输选择最合适的传输路径并向UE1和/或UE2发送对应的承载配置信息和/或路径配置信息。
此外,处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_INACTIVE态的UE2接收到服务节点1广播发送的发现信息后,也可以通过PC5接口发送发现响应信息。如果UE1能接收到UE2发送的发现响应信息,则UE1完成与UE2之间的邻近发现过程。UE1可以向服务节点1上报发现的关于UE2的邻近信息,如包含以下信息至少之一:UE1 L2 ID,UE2 L2ID,UE1 APP ID,UE2 APP ID,UE2的serving cell ID,UE1与UE2之间数据流的QoS信息。服务节点1接收到上述邻近信息后,分析UE1和UE2之间有哪些可能的路径,为UE1和UE2之间的数据传输选择最合适的传输路径。假设服务节点1配置UE1使用服务节点转发PC5或SL数据,则UE1可通过PC5接口向UE2发送基站转发数据指示。UE2接收到该指示信息后,进入RRC连接状态,接收服务节点1的传输或基站转发数据的相关配置,后续UE1和UE2之间通过服务节点1转发的数据。此外,UE1向UE2发送的基站转发数据指示可以封装在PC5信令,但是通过Uu口发送给服务节点1,再由服务节点1进一步广播发送给处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_INACTIVE态的UE2。UE2接收到该指示信息后,进入RRC连接状态,接收服务节点1的本地传输或基站转发数据的相关配置,后续UE1和UE2之间通过服务节点1转发的数据。
示例六
本示例给出核心网检测UE1和UE2的邻近性,并指示服务节点通过本地传输转发UE1和UE2之间的数据的场景。
图8为一实施例提供的一种核心网检测邻近UE的实现示意图。如图6所示,UE1和UE2由同一服务节点服务,UE1和UE2之间的数据传输通过PDU(Protocol Data Unit)会话(Session)实现。例如UE1向UE2发送的数据经过服务节点、核心网,然后到应用服务器,再到核心网、服务节点,最后从服务节点发送给UE2。在5G NR(New Radio)中,引入了核心网的本地开关(Local Switch),即核心网网元SMF(Session Management Function,会话管理功能)确定数据PDU的转发规则,并提供给核心网网元UPF(User Plane Function,用户面功能),UPF可以根据数据包的IP地址确定将一些数据流进行本地传输,即不经过应用服务器,直接将来自UE1发送给UE2的数据包从UE1的UPF投递到UE2的UPF,UE2的UPF发送至UE2的服务节点,最后由UE2的服务节点将数据包发送给UE2。此外如果UE1和UE2由同一个UPF服务,则UPF收到来自UE1的数据包后,直接将数据包投递到UE2对应的PDU session,发送给UE2的服务节点,最后由UE2的服务基站将数据包发送给UE2。
在一示例中,当UE1和UE2之间的数据传输启动后,核心网网元如SMF可以根据数据包的源和目标IP地址判断是否对应了两个UE的PDU session,如果这两个UE又属 于同一个局域网或本地传输组,则SMF可以告知核心网元如AMF(Access and Mobility Management Function,接入和移动性管理功能)对应的这两个UE的标识信息。核心网元如AMF收到该信息后,进一步判断这两个UE的服务小区和/或服务节点信息。一般来说,UE在接入网络时,服务节点会向AMF发送UE的位置信息,UE的位置信息可以是NCGI(NR cell global identifier),TAI(Tracking Area Identity,跟踪区标识),PScell(Primary Serving Cell,主服务小区)信息,以及位置信息对应的时间戳(Time Stamp)。如果UE1和UE2由同一个服务节点服务,或是由两个服务节点服务但这两个服务节点之间有直接接口如Xn接口,则AMF可以将UE1和UE2的邻近信息和/或数据传输信息告知UE1和UE2的服务节点,例如,AMF向UE1的服务节点发送UE1和UE2本地传输信息的任意组合:服务节点转发请求或指示,QoS flow信息如QFI,QoS参数,对端UE标识,对端UE的服务节点标识,对端UE的服务小区标识。UE1的服务节点收到上述信息后,可以根据QoS参数和/或空口资源情况判断是否进行服务节点本地数据转发。在一示例中,服务节点可向AMF发送UE1和UE2的本地传输确认信息的任意组合:服务节点转发响应,可进行服务节点转发的QoS flow信息如QFI,QoS flow的QoS参数,对端UE标识,对端UE的服务服务节点标识,对端UE的服务小区标识,不能进行服务节点转发的UE1的QoS flow信息如QFI,不能进行服务节点转发的原因。
服务节点决定哪些QoS flow进行转发后,服务节点为UE1和/或UE2配置Uu RLC Channel用于传输服务节点在UE1和UE2之间转发的数据。此外服务节点为UE1配置UE2对应的UE标识。在UE1和UE2之间通过服务节点转发数据之前,UE1和UE2可以使用服务节点配置的Uu RLC Channel传输PC5-S信令和/或PC5-RRC,从而完成PC5连接建立,安全认证,秘钥建立和/或SL RB的相关配置。此外服务节点可以向UE1和/或UE2发送SL RB对应的PDCP和/或SDAP的配置,Uu RLC Channel对应的RLC entity,logical Channel的配置,和/或SL RB到Uu RLC Channel的配置。其中SL RB的SDAP配置包含哪些QoS flow映射到SL RB上,即QFI映射到SL RB。或者基站向UE发送QFI到PFI的映射和/或PFI到SL RB的映射。SL RB及Uu RLC Channel配置完成后,UE1和UE2就可以将对应QoS flow的数据包映射到SL RB,并通过Uu RLC Channel进行传输。
除了服务节点配置SL RB及Uu RLC channel,为了减少传输路径转换的时延。可以通过固定配置或是默认配置的Uu RLC channel来传递SL SRB和/或PC5-S信令和/或PC5 RRC信令。
在一示例中,可以考虑服务节点从AMF收到对应于某个UE的服务节点转发授权指示,只有在UE授权进行服务节点转发的情况下,服务节点才会考虑将UE之间的数据通 过服务节点本地转发。
在一示例中,除了上述AMF告知服务节点UE之间的邻近性,由服务节点决策是否进行转发,也可以考虑由AMF向UE1发送UE1和UE2的本地传输信息,本地传输信息包括以下信息的任意组合:服务节点转发请求或指示,可被服务节点转发的QoS flow信息如QFI,QoS参数,对端UE标识,对端UE的服务节点标识,对端UE的服务小区标识。UE1收到上述信息后,可以向服务节点发送本地转发请求指示,通过服务节点的转发建立PC5连接,并将对应QoS flow的数据通过服务节点转发进行传输。
