Description

一种通信方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2022年04月26日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202210443631.5、申请名称为“一种通信方法和通信装置”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，涉及一种通信方法和通信装置。
背景技术
随着移动通信的高速发展，新业务类型(例如，视频聊天、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)/增强现实(augmented reality，AR)等数据业务)的普遍使用提高了用户对带宽的需求。设备到设备(device-to-device，D2D)通信允许终端之间直接进行通信，可以在小区网络的控制下与小区用户共享频谱资源，有效的提高频谱资源的利用率。
当终端处于网络覆盖之外或终端与网络之间的通信信号不好时，终端可以通过其他终端进行辅助，与网络进行通信。即通过终端与其他终端间的D2D通信、以及其他终端与网络的通信，实现终端与网络的通信。该通信场景可以称为中继场景，其中，处于网络覆盖之外或与网络之间的通信信号不好的终端可以称为远端终端，辅助远端终端与网络进行通信的终端可以称为中继终端。
目前，中继场景下的业务传输未考虑到紧急业务(emergency service)。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种通信方法和通信装置，有助于中继场景下的紧急业务的传输。
第一方面，提供了一种通信方法，所述方法可以由中继终端执行，也可以由中继终端中的模块或单元执行，为了描述方便，下文统一称为中继终端。
所述方法包括：中继终端确定所述中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务；所述中继终端发送第一消息，所述第一消息用于远端终端发现所述中继终端；其中，所述第一消息为第一发现消息，所述第一发现消息包括所述紧急业务对应的中继服务码；或者，所述第一消息为响应消息，所述响应消息用于响应来自所述远端终端的第二发现消息，所述第二发现消息包括所述紧急业务对应的中继服务码。
这里的紧急业务可以泛指一种业务类型(可以称之为紧急业务类型)，也可以指一种特定的紧急业务。
通过上述技术方案，可以保证参与紧急业务的中继发现流程的中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，从而保证期望接入紧急业务的远端终端选择的中继终端能够为紧急业务提供中继服务，从而有助于中继场景下的紧急业务的传输。
可选地，所述中继终端发送第一消息，包括：当所述中继终端所接入的网络支持所述 紧急业务时，所述中继终端发送所述第一消息。或者，换一种描述方式，在确定所述中继终端所接入的网络支持所述紧急业务之后，所述中继终端发送所述第一消息。
换句话说，中继终端在中继终端所接入的网络不支持紧急业务的情况不会参与紧急业务的中继发现流程，在中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务的情况下才可能参与紧急业务的中继发现流程(例如，向远端终端发送第一发现消息或者响应远端终端发送的第二发现消息)。这样可以保证参与紧急业务的中继发现流程的中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
可选地，在所述中继终端确定所述中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务之前，所述方法还包括：所述中继终端确定所述第一消息包括所述紧急业务对应的中继服务码。
换句话说，如果第一消息包括的中继服务码对应于紧急业务，那么中继终端可以执行确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务。如果第一消息包括的中继服务码不对应于紧急业务，那么中继终端可以不执行确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务。
结合第一方面，在一种可能的实现方式中，所述中继终端确定所述中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，包括：在满足以下情况中的至少一个时，所述中继终端确定所述中继终端所接入的网络支持所述紧急业务：所述中继终端从接入和移动性管理功能网元或接入网设备接收到紧急业务支持指示；所述中继终端保存有所述紧急业务支持指示；或者，所述中继终端已建立紧急协议数据单元(protocol data unit，PDU)会话；其中，所述紧急业务支持指示用于指示所述中继终端所接入的网络支持所述紧急业务。
结合第一方面或其任一实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，所述中继终端处于紧急注册状态，所述第一消息包括紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息，所述紧急注册指示用于指示所述中继终端处于紧急注册状态，所述紧急注册时间信息用于指示所述中继终端处于紧急注册状态的时长或剩余时长。
通过上述技术方案，有助于远端终端选择更合适的中继终端。例如，远端终端优先选择处于非紧急注册状态的中继终端。又例如，若发送发现消息或响应消息的所有中继终端都处于紧急注册状态，则远端终端优先选择处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长较长的中继终端。
结合第一方面或其任一实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，所述方法还包括：所述中继终端接收来自策略控制功能网元的第一配置信息，所述第一配置信息包括所述紧急业务对应的中继服务码。
即由策略控制功能网元为中继终端配置紧急业务对应的中继服务码。
结合第一方面或其任一实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一配置信息还包括所述紧急业务对应的中继服务码的优先级，所述方法还包括：所述中继终端根据所述优先级，维持或释放所述中继终端与所述远端终端之间的连接，所述连接用于传输所述紧急业务。
例如，策略控制功能网元通过第一配置信息为中继终端配置了包括紧急业务对应的中继服务码在内的多个中继服务码、以及多个中继服务码中每个中继服务码的优先级。中继终端与远端终端建立了多个连接，多个连接与多个中继服务码一一对应(例如，连接1与中继服务码1对应(连接1的上下文中包括中继服务码1)，连接2与中继服务码2对应(连接2的上下文中包括中继服务码2))。当中继终端释放部分已建立的连接时，例如，中继终端的传输资源或能力有限时，中继终端可以从已建立的多个连接中，释放中继服务 码的优先级较低的连接。
通过上述技术方案，有助于中继终端进行连接管理。
结合第一方面或其任一实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，所述方法还包括：所述中继终端接收来自所述远端终端的直接通信请求消息，所述直接通信请求消息用于请求建立直接通信连接，所述直接通信连接用于传输所述紧急业务；所述中继终端向接入和移动性管理功能网元发送第二消息，所述第二消息用于请求授权所述远端终端接入所述紧急业务；所述中继终端接收来自所述接入和移动性管理功能网元的授权结果；若所述授权结果指示授权所述远端终端接入所述紧急业务成功，则所述中继终端向所述远端终端发送直接通信接受消息；或者，若所述授权结果指示授权所述远端终端接入所述紧急业务失败，则所述中继终端向所述远端终端发送直接通信拒绝消息。
通过上述技术方案，在与远端终端建立连接的流程中，中继终端确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务，在远端终端被授权接入紧急业务时，中继终端才建立与远端终端之间的连接，以便为远端终端提供紧急业务的中继服务。这样可以在保证期望接入紧急业务的远端终端选择的中继终端能够为紧急业务提供中继服务的同时，避免非授权的远端终端接入紧急业务。
结合第一方面或其任一实现方式，在另一种可能的实现方式中，所述方法还包括：所述中继终端接收来自所述远端终端的所述第二发现消息；所述中继终端向接入和移动性管理功能网元发送第二消息，所述第二消息用于请求授权所述远端终端接入所述紧急业务；所述中继终端接收来自所述接入和移动性管理功能网元的授权结果；所述中继终端确定所述中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，包括：当所述授权结果指示授权所述远端终端接入所述紧急业务成功时，所述中继终端执行所述确定所述中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
在上述技术方案中，在接收到远端终端的第二发现消息后，中继终端先确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务，在网络授权远端终端接入所述紧急业务成功的情况下，进一步确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务。后续，中继终端根据中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务，发送或不发送第二发现消息的响应消息。这样可以在保证期望接入紧急业务的远端终端选择的中继终端能够为紧急业务提供中继服务的同时，避免非授权的远端终端接入紧急业务。

在上述技术方案中，在接收到远端终端的第二发现消息后，中继终端先确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务，在中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务的情况下，进一步确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务。后续，中继终端根据网络是否授权远端终端 接入紧急业务，发送或不发送第二发现消息的响应消息。这样可以在保证期望接入紧急业务的远端终端选择的中继终端能够为紧急业务提供中继服务的同时，避免非授权的远端终端接入紧急业务。

本申请提供的技术方案可以应用在远端终端通过中继终端连接网络的中继场景。
作为示例，图2示出了中继场景下的一种网络架构的示意图。图2所示的网络架构可以基于图1所示的5G架构，但不局限于此。
如图2所示，该网络架构包括远端终端、中继终端、接入网设备、UPF和数据网络。其中，远端终端也可以称为远端UE(remote UE)或远程终端，是获取中继服务的终端，例如，手表、手环、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)眼镜/虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)眼镜等。中继终端也可以称为中继UE(relay UE)，是提供中继服务的终端，例如智能手机、客户端设备(customer-premises equipment，CPE)等。远端终端可以通过中继终端、接入网设备、UPF与数据网络进行数据交互。远端终端与中继终端可以通过例如PC5接口进行通信。中继终端与UPF可以通过中继终端的PDU会话进行通信，其中，中继终端与接入网设备可以通过Uu接口进行通信。UPF可以通过例如N6接口与数据网络进行通信。
需要说明的是，本申请的实施例可以应用于图1所示的网络架构或图2所示的网络架构，但不局限于此。
为了便于理解本申请的技术方案，首先对本申请涉及的层3中继进行描述。
在5G系统中，非直接通信(即远端终端通过中继终端接入网络的通信模式)支持层3中继(layer-3relay，L3relay)方式。在层3中继中，中继终端与UPF建立PDU会话，并根据IP路由转发远端终端的上下行数据。
图3是层3中继的建立连接的示意性流程图。
在层3中继场景中，远端终端描述为remote UE，中继终端描述为基于近场的服务(proximity based services，ProSe)UE-to-NW relay。为了简洁，下文仍采用远端终端和中继终端的描述方式。
步骤1，远端终端和中继终端分别注册到网络，获取授权信息和用于D2D通信的参数信息。
其中，对于远端终端来说，授权信息包括用于指示是否授权终端作为远端终端，通过中继终端接入网络的信息。对于中继终端来说，授权信息包括用于指示是否授权终端作为中继终端，为远端终端提供中继服务的信息。
用于D2D通信的参数信息包括：QoS映射配置、中继服务码(relay service code，RSC)、以及每个RSC对应的PDU会话参数。其中，RSC用于标识中继连接(例如PC5连接)，对于中继终端来说，RSC可以标识中继终端提供给远端终端的连接服务，对于远端终端来说，RSC可以标识远端终端感兴趣的或期望的连接服务。RSC对应的PDU会话参数可以包括以下至少一个：PDU会话类型(PDU session type)、数据网络名称(data network name，DNN)、会话和服务连续性(session and service continuity，SSC)模式(mode)、单一网络切片选择辅助信息(single network slice selection assistance information，S-NSSAI)、或接入类型偏好(access type preference)。
步骤2，中继终端建立PDU会话。
在建立PDU会话后，SMF可以为中继终端分配IP地址，中继终端可以通过该PDU会话在中继终端与UPF之间传输数据。该PDU会话可以是专为中继服务的PDU会话。
需要说明的是，步骤2为可选步骤。
步骤3，远端终端与中继终端执行中继发现流程。
通过中继发现流程，远端终端与中继终端可以相互发现。中继发现流程可以分为两种方式，即模式A(model A)和模式B(modelB)。
1)模式A的中继发现流程
由中继终端主动发送发现消息(例如，通知消息(announcement message))，远端终端收听并接收发现消息，其中，发现消息中包括中继终端可提供的连接服务的RSC(s)。
这样，远端终端可以将期望的连接服务的RSC与发现消息中的RSC进行匹配，选取RSC相匹配的中继终端。
其中，中继终端可提供的连接服务的RSC(s)可以是由PCF配置的。
2)模式B的中继发现流程
由远端终端主动发送发现消息(例如，征求消息(solicitation message))，中继终端收听并接收发现消息，其中，发现消息中包括远端终端期望的连接服务的RSC。中继终端可以将可提供的连接服务的RSC与发现消息中的RSC进行匹配，若中继终端可提供的连接服务的RSC与发现消息中的RSC相匹配，则中继终端响应该发现消息，即中继终端可以向远端终端发送响应消息。
这样，远端终端可以从发送响应消息的一个或多个中继终端中选择中继终端。
其中，远端终端可以根据应用和RSC的对应关系，确定期望的连接服务的RSC。该对应关系可以由PCF配置。中继终端可提供的连接服务的RSC(s)可以是由PCF配置的。
步骤4，远端终端与中继终端建立PC5连接。
其中，PC5是终端与终端之间的接口，PC5连接用于终端与终端之间的通信。
可选地，中继终端根据RSC和PDU会话参数的对应关系，确定是否新建PDU会话，即中继终端已建立的PDU会话(例如步骤2中建立的PDU会话)是否满足远端终端的会话需求。若中继终端已建立的PDU会话不满足远端终端的会话需求，则中继终端为远端终端建立新的PDU会话。该新的PDU会话可专为中继服务，其会话参数可以是中继终端 根据RSC与PDU会话参数的对应关系确定的。
步骤5，中继终端为远端终端分配用于PC5通信的IP地址。
步骤6，中继终端将远端终端的标识和IP信息(IP information,IP info)上报至AMF和SMF。
其中，IP信息包括中继终端为远端终端分配的用于网络侧通信的地址。例如，若SMF为中继终端分配的IP地址为IPv4，则IP信息为特定的端口号(例如，传输控制协议(transmission control protocol，TCP)/用户数据报协议(user datagram protocol，UDP)端口(ports))，这意味着中继终端通过该IPv4地址和该特定的端口号传输远端终端的数据。又例如，若SMF为中继终端分配的IP地址为IPv6前缀(prefix)，则IP信息为更长的IPv6前缀，这意味着中继终端通过该更长的IPv6前缀传输远端终端的数据。
一种实现方式中，中继终端可以通过PDU会话修改流程向AMF和SMF上报远端终端的标识和IP信息。
后续，中继终端可以根据IP地址转发远端终端的上下行数据。
例如，假设远端终端在PC5连接上使用的IP地址为IP3，中继终端的PDU会话对应的IP地址为IP1，中继终端为远端终端分配的IP信息为IP1-1。这样，远端终端通过IP3向数据网络发送数据；数据网络通过IP1-1向远端终端发送数据；中继终端生成IP3和IP1-1的关联关系。在上行方向，中继终端收到IP地址为IP3的数据后，将IP地址由IP3修改为IP1-1，通过IP1对应的PDU会话发送至UPF，进而发送至数据网络。在下行方向，中继终端从UPF收到IP地址为IP1-1的数据后，确定该数据为远端终端的，将IP地址由IP-1修改为IP3，通过PC5连接发送至远端终端。
层3中继的更详细的描述可以参考现有技术，在此不再详述。
在本申请中，PC5连接也可以称为PC5通信连接、PC5链路、或PC5通信链路，下文统一采用PC5连接。
需要说明的是，本申请的实施例可以应用于上述的层3中继的场景，也可以是其他的中继场景，例如，层2中继的场景，不予限制。层2中继的描述可以参考现有技术，在此不再详述。
下文将结合附图详细说明本申请提供的通信方法。
本申请的技术方案可以适用于中继场景下的非正常业务的传输。非正常业务，可以理解为，正常业务(normal service)以外的业务。例如，非正常业务可以是紧急业务、多媒体优先业务(multimedia priority service)或关键任务业务(mission critical service)等，不予限制。下文将以非正常业务为紧急业务为例，对本申请的技术方案进行描述。
此外，本申请中的“业务”也可以替换为“服务”。例如，紧急业务也可以描述为紧急服务。
图4是本申请提供的通信方法400的示意图。方法400可以包括以下内容的至少部分内容。
步骤401，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
“网络”可以包括接入网和/或核心网。“网络支持紧急业务”可以理解为接入网设备和/或核心网网元支持紧急业务。这里的接入网设备和/或核心网网元可以指全部接入网设备和/或全部核心网设备，也可以指与提供紧急业务的DN相关的全部核心网网元和/或 全部接入网设备，也可以指与提供紧急业务的DN相关、且用于为中继终端传输紧急业务的核心网网元和/或接入网设备，本申请不予限制。
网络支持紧急业务，可以理解为，网络支持紧急业务的传输、或网络支持紧急业务的配置或控制、或网络具备传输紧急业务的能力或资源等。
其中，紧急业务可以泛指一种业务类型，可以称之为紧急业务类型。紧急业务类型可以包括一种或多种紧急业务。例如，紧急业务类型包括紧急语音业务、紧急视频业务和紧急短信业务。在此情况下，中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，可以理解为，中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务类型中的任意一种紧急业务。
或者，紧急业务也可以指一种特定的紧急业务。例如，紧急语音业务、紧急视频业务或紧急短信业务。在此情况下，中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，可以理解为，中继终端所接入的网络支持一种特定的紧急业务。例如，中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急语音业务。
一种可能的实现方式，在中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务之前，方法400还包括：中继终端确定第一消息包括紧急业务对应的中继服务码。
换句话说，如果第一消息包括的中继服务码对应于紧急业务，那么中继终端可以执行确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务。如果第一消息包括的中继服务码不对应于紧急业务，那么中继终端可以不执行确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务。
在本申请中，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务的方式有很多，不予限制。
一种可能的实现方式，在满足以下情况中的至少一个时，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务：中继终端从AMF或接入网设备接收到紧急业务支持指示(emergency services support indicator)、中继终端保存有紧急业务支持指示、或者中继终端已建立紧急PDU会话。
另一种可能的实现方式，在以下情况均不满足时，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络不支持紧急业务：中继终端从AMF或接入网设备接收到紧急业务支持指示、中继终端保存有紧急业务支持指示、或者中继终端已建立紧急PDU会话。
其中，紧急业务支持指示用于指示中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
这里的“紧急PDU会话”可以理解为用于传输紧急业务的PDU会话，或者还可以理解为紧急数据网络名称(data network name，DNN)对应的PDU会话。
可选地，中继终端是层3中继终端或层2中继终端。
步骤402，中继终端向远端终端发送第一消息。
相应地，远端终端接收来自中继终端的第一消息。
其中，第一消息用于远端终端发现中继终端。
一种可能的实现方式，第一消息为第一发现消息，其中，第一发现消息包括紧急业务对应的RSC。例如，在远端终端和中继终端采用模式A的中继发现流程时，第一消息为第一发现消息，模式A的中继发现流程的描述可以参考图3中的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
另一种可能的实现方式，第一消息为响应消息，其中，响应消息用于响应来自远端终端的第二发现消息，第二发现消息包括紧急业务对应的中继服务码。例如，在远端终端和中继终端采用模式B的中继发现流程时，第一消息为响应消息，模式B的中继发现流程 的描述可以参考图3中的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
其中，紧急业务对应的RSC(RSC for emergency service)，也可以描述为，紧急业务所使用的RSC、或用于紧急业务的RSC等。
基于紧急业务的不同含义，相应地，紧急业务对应的RSC也可以有不同的含义。
具体地，当紧急业务指的是一种业务类型时，那么紧急业务对应的RSC指的是紧急业务类型对应的RSC。在此情况下，属于紧急业务类型的业务对应相同的RSC。例如，假设紧急业务类型包括紧急语音业务、紧急视频业务和紧急短信业务，那么紧急语音业务、紧急视频业务和紧急短信业务所对应的RSC相同。
当紧急业务指的是一种特定的紧急业务时，那么紧急业务对应的RSC也可以指该特定紧急业务对应的RSC。在此情况下，属于紧急业务类型的不同业务可以对应于相同或不同的RSC。例如，假设紧急业务类型包括紧急语音业务、紧急视频业务和紧急短信业务，那么紧急语音业务对应于RSC1，紧急视频业务对应于RSC2，紧急短信业务对应于RSC3；或者，紧急语音业务对应于RSC1，紧急视频业务和紧急短信业务对应于RSC2，不予限制。
可选地，当中继终端处于紧急注册状态时，第一消息包括紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息。其中，紧急注册指示用于指示中继终端处于紧急注册状态。紧急注册时间信息用于指示中继终端处于紧急注册状态的时长、中继终端处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长或中继终端已处于紧急注册状态的时长中的至少一个。中继终端处于紧急注册状态的时长，可以理解为，中继终端可保持紧急注册状态的总时长。
例如，中继终端可保持紧急注册状态的总时长为5s，中继终端处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长为3s，中继终端已处于紧急注册状态的时长为2s，紧急注册时间信息可以指示5s、3s或2s中的至少一个。
在注册过程中时，终端会在注册请求消息中携带注册的类型，紧急注册为注册的类型中的一种，因此，中继终端处于紧急注册状态，可以理解为，中继终端处于紧急注册的过程中。
可选地，方法400还包括：中继终端生成或确定第一消息。
步骤403，远端终端根据第一消息选择中继终端。
一种可能的实现方式中，远端终端接收到一个或多个第一消息，从发送该一个或多个第一消息的中继终端中选择中继终端。
可选地，远端终端接收到的一个或多个第一消息中包括来自第一中继终端的第一消息，并且来自第一中继终端的第一消息包括紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息，远端终端在从发送该一个或多个第一消息的中继终端中选择中继终端时，考虑来自第一中继终端的第一消息包括紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息。其中，紧急注册指示用于指示第一中继终端处于紧急注册状态。紧急注册时间信息用于指示第一中继终端处于紧急注册状态的时长、第一中继终端处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长或第一中继终端已处于紧急注册状态的时长中的至少一个。
例如，远端终端优先选择处于非紧急注册状态的中继终端。
又例如，若发送第一消息的所有中继终端都处于紧急注册状态，则远端终端优先选择处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长较长的中继终端。
在本申请中，第一中继终端可以是一个中继终端，也可以是多个中继终端。
需要说明的是，在本申请中，不限定步骤401和步骤402的先后顺序。
一种可能的实现方式中，步骤401在步骤402之前执行，即在确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务之后，中继终端向远端终端发送第一消息。
作为一个示例，若中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，则中继终端向远端终端发送第一消息。例如，在模式A的中继发现流程中，若中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，则中继终端向远端终端发送第一发现消息。此外，若中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络不支持紧急业务，则中继终端可以不向远端终端发送第一发现消息，或者，中继终端向远端终端发送第一发现消息，但第一发现消息不携带紧急业务对应的RSC。
作为另一个示例，若中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，同时确定满足其他条件(例如，中继终端可提供的连接服务的RSC与从远端终端接收的发现消息中的RSC相匹配等)，则中继终端向远端终端发送第一消息。例如，在模式B的中继发现流程中，若中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务、且中继终端可提供的连接服务的RSC与从远端终端接收的发现消息中的RSC相匹配，则中继终端向远端终端发送第二发现消息的响应消息。
换句话说，中继终端在中继终端所接入的网络不支持紧急业务的情况不会参与紧急业务的中继发现流程，在中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务的情况下才可能参与紧急业务的中继发现流程(例如，向远端终端发送第一发现消息，或者响应远端终端发送的第二发现消息)。
通过上述技术方案，可以保证参与紧急业务的中继发现流程的中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，从而保证期望接入紧急业务的远端终端选择的中继终端能够为紧急业务提供中继服务，从而有助于中继场景下的紧急业务的传输。
在本申请的另一些实施例中，中继终端还可以确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务，以避免非授权的远端终端接入紧急业务。在本申请中，“接入(access)紧急业务”也可以替换为“使用(use)紧急业务”或“获取(acquire)紧急业务”等。
一种可能的实现方式，在与远端终端建立连接的流程中，中继终端确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务。
在此情况下，方法400还包括：远端终端向中继终端发送第三消息，相应地，中继终端接收来远端终端的第三消息，其中，第三消息用于请求建立与中继终端之间的连接，该连接用于传输紧急业务；在接收到第三消息后，中继终端向AMF发送第二消息，相应地，AMF接收来自中继终端的第二消息，其中，第二消息用于请求授权远端终端接入紧急业务；在接收到第二消息后，AMF向中继终端发送授权结果，相应地，中继终端接收来自AMF的授权结果；若授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务成功，则中继终端向远端终端发送第五消息，相应地，远端终端接收来自中继终端的第五消息，其中，第五消息包括用于指示连接建立成功的信息，或者，若授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务失败，则中继终端向远端终端发送第六消息，相应地，远端终端接收来自中继终端的第六消息，其中，第六消息包括用于指示连接建立失败的信息。可选地，第六消息还包括原因值，该原因值为授权失败。
可选地，远端终端与中继终端之间的连接为直接通信连接，第三消息为直接通信请求(direct communication request，DCR)消息，第五消息为直接通信接受(direct communication accept)消息，第六消息为直接通信拒绝(direct communication reject)消息。
可选地，第二消息和第四消息为授权请求(authorization request)消息，授权结果承载于授权响应(authorization response)消息中。
另一种可能的实现方式，在中继发现流程(例如，模式B的中继发现流程)中，中继终端确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务。需要说明的是，本申请并不限定中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务与确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务的先后顺序。
作为一个示例，方法400还包括：远端终端向中继终端发送第二发现消息，相应地，中继终端接收来自远端终端的第二发现消息，其中，第二发现消息包括紧急业务对应的RSC；在接收到第二发现消息后，中继终端向AMF发送第二消息，相应地，AMF接收来自中继终端的第二消息，其中，第二消息用于请求授权远端终端接入紧急业务；在接收到第二消息后，AMF向中继终端发送授权结果，相应地，中继终端接收来自AMF的授权结果。步骤401具体可以包括：当授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务成功时，中继终端执行步骤401。
此外，当授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务失败时，中继终端可以不执行步骤401。
也就是说，在接收到远端终端的第二发现消息后，中继终端先确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务，在网络授权远端终端接入紧急业务成功的情况下，进一步确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务。后续，中继终端根据中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务，发送或不发送第二发现消息的响应消息。当然，中继终端在确定是否发送第二发现消息的响应消息时还可以考虑其他因素，例如，RSC是否匹配等。
作为另一个示例，方法400还包括：远端终端向中继终端发送第二发现消息，相应地，中继终端接收来自远端终端的第二发现消息，其中，第二发现消息包括紧急业务对应的RSC；在接收到第二发现消息后，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务；若中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，则中继终端向AMF发送第二消息，相应地，AMF接收来自中继终端的第二消息，其中，第二消息用于请求授权远端终端接入紧急业务；在接收到第二消息后，AMF向中继终端发送授权结果，相应地，中继终端接收来自AMF的授权结果。步骤402具体可以包括：当授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务成功时，中继终端向远端终端发送第二发现消息的响应消息。此外，当授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务失败时，中继终端可以不向远端终端发送第二发现消息的响应消息。当然，中继终端在确定是否发送第二发现消息的响应消息时还可以考虑其他因素，例如，RSC是否匹配等。
此外，若中继终端所接入的网络不支持紧急业务，则中继终端可以不向AMF发送第二消息。
也就是说，在接收到远端终端的第二发现消息后，中继终端先确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务，在中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务的情况下，进一步确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务。后续，中继终端根据网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急 业务，发送或不发送第二发现消息的响应消息。
作为又一个示例，方法400还包括：远端终端向中继终端发送第二发现消息，相应地，中继终端接收来自远端终端的第二发现消息，其中，第二发现消息包括紧急业务对应的RSC；在接收到第二发现消息后，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务、以及向AMF发送第二消息，其中，第二消息用于请求授权远端终端接入紧急业务；在接收到第二消息后，AMF向中继终端发送授权结果，相应地，中继终端接收来自AMF的授权结果。步骤402具体可以包括：当中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，且授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务成功时，中继终端向远端终端发送第二发现消息的响应消息。当然，中继终端在确定是否发送第二发现消息的响应消息时还可以考虑其他因素，例如，RSC是否匹配等。
此外，当中继终端所接入的网络不支持紧急业务，和/或，授权结果指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务失败时，中继终端可以不向远端终端发送第二发现消息的响应消息。
也就是说，在接收到远端终端的第二发现消息后，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务、以及确定网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务。后续，中继终端综合考虑中继终端所接入的网络是否支持紧急业务、以及网络是否授权远端终端接入紧急业务等因素，以实现发送或不发送第二发现消息的响应消息。
可选地，方法400还包括：在AMF向中继终端发送授权结果之前，AMF获取授权结果，其中，授权结果用于指示授权远端终端接入紧急业务成功或失败。
一种可能的实现方式，AMF从授权网元获取授权结果。具体地，AMF向授权网元发送第四消息，相应地，授权网元接收来自AMF的第四消息，其中，第四消息用于请求授权远端终端接入紧急业务；授权网元向AMF发送授权结果，相应地，AMF接收来自授权网元的授权结果。
本申请不限定授权网元的具体类型，例如，授权网元可以是UDM、PCF或AUSF等。
可选地，方法400还包括：远端终端向中继终端发送第七消息，相应地，中继终端接收来远端终端的第七消息，其中，第七消息用于请求建立与中继终端之间的连接，该连接用于传输紧急业务；在接收到第七消息后，若中继终端没有紧急PDU会话，则中继终端请求建立紧急PDU会话，若中继终端已建立了紧急PDU会话，则中继终端可以不请求建立紧急PDU会话。
可选地，远端终端与中继终端之间的连接为直接通信连接，第七消息为直接通信请求消息。
需要说明的是，第七消息与第三消息可以为同一消息，也可以为不同的消息，不予限制。
在本申请的另一些实施例中，方法400还可以包括：PCF获取紧急业务对应的中继服务码；PCF向中继终端发送第一配置信息，相应地，中继终端接收来自PCF的第一配置信息，其中，第一配置信息包括紧急业务对应的中继服务码；和/或，PCF向远端终端发送第二配置信息，相应地，远端终端接收来自PCF的第二配置信息，其中，第二配置信息包括紧急业务对应的中继服务码。即由PCF为中继终端和/或远端终端配置紧急业务对应的中继服务码。需要说明的是，这里的步骤仅表明由PCF为中继终端和远端终端配置紧急业务对应的中继服务码。PCF为中继终端配置紧急业务对应的中继服务码与PCF为 中继终端和远端终端配置紧急业务对应的中继服务码是独立的过程，在配置过程中PCF并不考虑后续中继终端和远端终端是否建立连接。
可选地，PCF获取紧急业务对应的中继服务码，包括：PCF从本地或AF获取紧急业务对应的中继服务码。其中，PCF本地的紧急业务对应的中继服务码可以是预配置或预定义的。
当PCF从AF获取紧急业务对应的RSC时，可以保证不同公共陆地移动网(public land mobile network，PLMN)的RSC一致，因此可以更好地支持跨PLMN的用于紧急业务的中继服务(即中继终端和远端终端接入不同PLMN，中继终端向远端终端提供紧急业务的中继服务)。

例如，PCF通过第一配置信息为中继终端配置了包括紧急业务对应的RSC在内的多个RSC、以及多个RSC中每个RSC的优先级。中继终端与远端终端建立了多个连接，多个连接与多个RSC一一对应(例如，连接1与RSC 1对应(连接1的上下文中包括RSC 1)，连接2与RSC 2对应(连接2的上下文中包括RSC 2))。当中继终端释放部分已建立的连接时，例如，中继终端的传输资源或能力有限时，中继终端可以从已建立的多个连接中，释放RSC的优先级较低的连接。

在本申请的另一些实施例中，方法400还包括：中继终端向AMF发送第一信息，相应地，AMF接收来自中继终端的第一信息，其中，第一信息用于指示中继终端的中继服务用于紧急业务(relay service for emergency service)，或者第一信息用于指示中继终端为远端终端提供紧急业务。换句话说，中继终端向AMF上报中继终端处于为紧急业务提供中继服务的状态或中继终端为远端终端提供紧急业务的状态，以便AMF不对中继终端进行接入管理方面或移动管理方面的限定，例如，中继终端可以在非允许区域(non-allowed)内为紧急业务提供中继服务。同样，这里的紧急业务可以泛指一种业务类型，也可以指一种特定的紧急业务。
可选地，AMF接收第一信息后，AMF在中继终端的上下文中储存第一信息。
可选地，第一信息可以承载在业务请求(service request)消息、PDU会话建立(PDU  session establishment)消息或注册(registration)消息。
可选地，当在PDU会话建立消息承载第一信息时，第一信息用于指示PDU会话用于传输紧急业务。在此情况下，AMF根据第一信息选择能够提供紧急业务的SMF，或者AMF向SMF发送第一信息。当AMF向SMF发送第一信息时，SMF根据第一信息获知该PDU会话用于传输紧急业务，进而选择能够提供紧急业务的UPF。

步骤504，远端终端根据第一消息选择中继终端。
步骤504的实现方式与步骤403的实现方式相同，可以参考步骤403的描述，在此不再赘述。

步骤601，AF向PCF提供紧急业务参数。
其中，紧急业务参数包括紧急业务对应的RSC。

一种可能的实现方式，如图6所示，PCF在向远端终端提供UE策略(UE policy)时向远端终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC，紧急业务对应的RSC携带在UE策略容器(UE policy container)中。
步骤603，PCF向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC。
可选地，PCF还向中继终端提供不同RSC的优先级，用于中继终端在资源受限时优先释放低优先级的RSC对应的PC5连接。
这里的“不同RSC”为PCF为中继终端提供的RSC，可以包括正常业务对应的RSC和/或紧急业务对应的RSC。
一种可能的实现方式，如图6所示，PCF在向中继终端提供UE策略时向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC，紧急业务对应的RSC携带在UE策略容器(UE policy container)中。
步骤604，网络向中继终端通知网络支持紧急业务。
一种可能的实现方式，AMF向中继终端发送紧急业务支持指示。其中，紧急业务支持指示用于指示中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。作为一个示例，AMF在中继终端的注册过程中向中继终端发送紧急业务支持指示，例如，AMF在注册接受消息(registration accept message)中包括紧急业务支持指示。
一种可能的实现方式，RAN设备向中继终端发送紧急业务支持指示。其中，紧急业务支持指示用于指示中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。作为一个示例，接入网设备在中继终端的接入网络过程中向中继终端发送紧急业务支持指示，例如，接入网设备在RRC配置消息(radio resource control configuration message)中包括紧急业务支持指示。作为另一个示例，接入网设备在广播消息中发送紧急业务支持指示，中继终端接收广播消息中包括的紧急业务支持指示。
这样，若中继终端接收到紧急业务支持指示，则意味着中继终端能够建立紧急PDU会话来获取紧急业务。这里的“紧急PDU会话”可以理解为用于传输紧急业务的PDU会话，或者还可以理解为紧急DNN对应的PDU会话。
需要说明的是，步骤603和步骤604可以是两个独立的步骤，也可以合并在一起执行。例如，当PCF在中继终端的注册过程中通过AMF向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC时，AMF可以同时向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC和紧急业务支持指示。
之后，远端终端和中继终端可以执行中继发现流程。在方法600中，中继发现流程同样可以分为模式A和模式B两种方式。若采用模式A的中继发现流程，则执行以下步骤605-606。若采用模式B的中继发现流程，则执行以下步骤607-609。
步骤605，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
一种可能的实现方式，当已接收到紧急业务支持指示、本地存储有紧急业务支持指示、或者已建立紧急PDU会话时，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
步骤606，中继终端主动发送发现消息(例如，通知消息(announcement message))。
相应地，远端终端收听并接收发现消息。
其中，发现消息中携带紧急业务对应的RSC。该发现消息可以对应于上文的第一发现消息。
可选地，若中继终端处于紧急注册(emergency registration)状态，则发现消息中还携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息，用于远端终端进行中继选择。当然，若中继终端处于非紧急注册状态，则发现消息中不携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息。
其中，紧急注册指示用于指示中继终端处于紧急注册状态。在注册过程中时，终端会在注册请求消息中携带注册的类型，紧急注册为注册的类型中的一种，因此，中继终端处 于紧急注册状态，可以理解为，中继终端处于紧急注册的过程中。
其中，紧急注册时间信息用于指示中继终端处于紧急注册状态的时长、中继终端处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长(left time)或中继终端已处于紧急注册状态的时长中的至少一个。在中继终端进行紧急注册时，AMF为中继终端分配周期性注册更新定时器(periodic registration update timer)，周期性注册更新定时器为剩余时长的最大值，在周期性注册更新定时器到期后，中继终端进入去注册状态(deregistered state)。
步骤607，若远端终端获取紧急业务，则远端终端主动发送发现消息(例如，征求消息(solicitation message))。
相应地，中继终端收听并接收发现消息。
其中，发现消息中携带紧急业务对应的RSC。该发现消息可以对应于上文的第二发现消息。
步骤608，中继终端确定接入的网络支持紧急业务。
一种可能的实现方式，当已接收到紧急业务支持指示、本地存储有紧急业务支持指示、或者已建立紧急PDU会话时，中继终端确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
需要说明的是，本申请不限定步骤607和步骤608的先后顺序。
步骤609，若中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务、且中继终端的RSC与发现消息中的RSC相匹配，则中继终端向远端终端发送响应消息。
相应地，远端终端接收来自中继终端的响应消息。
这里的响应消息可以对应于上文的响应消息。
可选地，若中继终端处于紧急注册状态，则响应消息中还携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息，用于远端终端进行中继选择。当然，若中继终端处于非紧急注册状态，则响应消息中不携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息。其中，紧急注册指示和紧急注册时间信息的描述可以参考步骤606，在此不再赘述。
步骤610，远端终端进行中继选择。
具体地，远端终端可以将期望的RSC与发现消息中的RSC进行匹配，从而从发送发现消息的一个或多个中继终端中选择RSC相匹配的中继终端，或者，远端终端可以从发送响应消息的一个或多个中继终端中选择中继终端。
可选地，中继终端还根据发现消息或响应消息中携带的紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息，选择中继终端。例如，远端终端优先选择处于非紧急注册状态的中继终端。又例如，若发送发现消息或响应消息的所有中继终端都处于紧急注册状态，则远端终端优先选择处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长较长的中继终端。
在示例1中，在中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务的情况下，中继终端参与紧急业务的中继发现流程，包括：在发现消息中发送紧急业务对应的RSC，或者响应携带紧急业务对应的RSC的发现消息，这样有助于避免出现远端终端发现的中继终端不支持紧急业务的情况。
示例2
在示例2中，由PCF根据中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，确定向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC，以便中继终端参与支持紧急业务的中继发现流程。

步骤701-702的实现方式与步骤601-602相同，可以参考步骤601-602的描述，在此不再赘述。
步骤703，中继终端注册到网络。
具体地，中继终端向AMF发送注册请求消息。相应地，AMF接收来自中继终端的注册请求消息。
步骤704，在接收到注册请求消息后，AMF从UDM获取中继终端的签约信息。
其中，签约信息包括用于指示是否授权中继终端作为中继终端的信息。
步骤705，若授权中继终端作为中继终端，则AMF向PCF发送紧急业务支持指示。
其中，紧急业务支持指示用于指示中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
一种可能的实现方式，AMF在接入管理策略关联过程(access management policy association，AM policy association)中向PCF发送紧急业务支持指示。
需要说明的是，步骤705为可选步骤。
步骤706，PCF确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
一种可能的实现方式，PCF根据步骤705中的紧急业务支持指示，确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
另一种可能的实现方式，PCF根据本地预配置的网络能力信息，确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，其中，网络能力信息指示中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务。
步骤707，若中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务，则PCF向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC。
可选地，PCF还向中继终端提供不同RSC的优先级，用于中继终端在资源受限时优先释放低优先级的RSC对应的PC5连接。
这里的“不同RSC”为PCF为中继终端提供的RSC，可以包括正常业务对应的RSC和/或紧急业务对应的RSC。
一种可能的实现方式，如图7所示，PCF在向中继终端提供UE策略时向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC，紧急业务对应的RSC携带在UE策略容器中。
之后，远端终端和中继终端可以执行中继发现流程。在方法700中，中继发现流程同样可以分为模式A和模式B两种方式。若采用模式A的中继发现流程，则执行以下步骤708。若采用模式B的中继发现流程，则执行以下步骤709-710。
步骤708，中继终端主动发送发现消息(例如，通知消息(announcement message))。
相应地，远端终端收听并接收发现消息。
其中，发现消息中携带紧急业务对应的RSC。该发现消息可以对应于上文的第一发现消息。
可选地，若中继终端处于紧急注册状态，则发现消息中还携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息，用于远端终端进行中继选择。当然，若中继终端处于非紧急注册状态，则发现消息中不携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息。
其中，紧急注册指示用于指示中继终端处于紧急注册状态。
其中，紧急注册时间信息用于指示中继终端处于紧急注册状态的时长、中继终端处于紧急注册状态的剩余时长(left time)或中继终端已处于紧急注册状态的时长中的至少一个。在中继终端进行紧急注册时，AMF为中继终端分配周期性注册更新定时器，周期性注册更新定时器为剩余时长的最大值，在周期性注册更新定时器到期后，中继终端进入去注册状态。
步骤709，若远端终端获取紧急业务，则远端终端主动发送发现消息(例如，征求消息(solicitation message))。
相应地，中继终端收听并接收发现消息。

可选地，若中继终端处于紧急注册状态，则响应消息中还携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息，用于远端终端进行中继选择。当然，若中继终端处于非紧急注册状态，则响应消息中不携带紧急注册指示和/或紧急注册时间信息。其中，紧急注册指示和紧急注册时间信息的描述可以参考步骤708，在此不再赘述。
步骤711，远端终端进行中继选择。
步骤711的实现方式与步骤610相同，可以参考步骤610的描述，在此不再赘述。
在示例2中，在中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务的情况下，PCF确定向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC。由于在中继终端所接入的网络不支持紧急业务的情况下，PCF不向中继终端提供紧急业务对应的RSC，因此中继终端不参与支持紧急业务的中继发现流程，这样有助于避免出现远端终端发现的中继终端不支持紧急业务的情况。此外，示例2所示的方法可以简化中继终端的判断逻辑。
示例3
图8是本申请提供的通信方法800的示意图。
方法800中的步骤可以是在远端终端选择中继终端之后执行的步骤。例如，如图8所示，方法800中的步骤可以在示例1或示例2的流程之后执行。

步骤802，在接收到直接通信请求消息后，中继终端向AMF发送授权请求消息。
相应地，AMF接收来自中继终端的授权请求消息。
这里的授权请求消息可以为NAS消息。授权请求消息包括远端终端的标识和RSC。授权请求消息用于请求对远端终端接入RSC对应的业务进行授权。若授权成功(success)，则表明远端终端可以接入RSC对应的业务；若授权失败(failure)，则表明远端终端不可以接入RSC对应的业务。这里的RSC为携带在直接通信请求消息中的RSC。
可选地，在确定直接通信请求消息中RSC对应于紧急业务时，中继终端向AMF发送授权请求消息，用于请求对远端终端接入RSC对应的业务进行授权。
步骤803，AMF向授权网元发送授权请求消息。
相应地，授权网元接收来自AMF的授权请求消息。
这里的授权请求消息包括远端终端的标识和RSC。授权请求消息用于请求对远端终端接入RSC对应的业务进行授权。这里的RSC为携带在来自AMF的授权请求消息中的RSC。

步骤806，中继终端根据授权结果，确定是否建立与远端终端之间的PC5连接。
具体地，若授权结果为授权成功，则中继终端确定建立与远端终端之间的PC5连接。若授权结果为授权失败，则中继终端确定不建立与远端终端之间的PC5连接。
步骤807，若确定建立与远端终端之间的PC5连接，则中继终端向远端终端发送直接通信接受消息。
相应地，远端终端接收来自中继终端的直接通信接受消息。
步骤808，若确定不建立与远端终端之间的PC5连接，则中继终端向远端终端发送直接通信拒绝消息。
相应地，远端终端接收来自中继终端的直接通信拒绝消息。

例如，当方法800应用于层2中继的场景时，方法800可以包括步骤809。当然，当方法800应用于其他中继场景(例如层3中继的场景)时，方法800也可以包括步骤809。
需要说明的是，本申请不限定执行步骤809的时机。
例如，中继终端在授权远端终端接入紧急业务的授权流程中执行步骤809(例如，如图8所示，步骤809可以在步骤802后执行)。
又例如，中继终端在执行步骤801后发起步骤809。
又例如，中继终端在执行步骤806后发起步骤809。
又例如，中继终端接收到远端终端的发现消息(模式B)后，发起步骤809。
又例如，中继终端接收到远端终端的发现消息(模式B)并确定中继终端所接入的网络支持紧急业务后，发起步骤809。
又例如，中继终端发送发现消息(模式A)后，发起步骤809。
在示例3中，在确定远端终端被授权接入紧急业务后，中继终端才建立与远端终端之间的PC5连接，以便为远端终端提供紧急业务的中继服务，这样有助于避免非授权的远端终端接入紧急业务。
