随着通信技术的快速发展,运营商的网络建设和维护遇到了越来越多的挑战。与之前的通信系统相比,第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统有着巨大的优势,如能提供更大的无线带宽、更多数量和更高质量的宽带应用等。但5G运营商必须选择高效率且低成本的方式来维系运营,因此第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)提出了自组织网络(self orginazing network,SON)的概念。
基于SON技术,网络能够自行分析网络中的数据,并自主完成相应的网络配置与优化。其中,SON包含自配置、自优化、小区失效的检测与优化三个部分。
然而,随着用户需求的多样化以及新兴通信场景的出现,目前的SON技术存在缺点。

为了方便理解本申请实施例的技术方案,首先给出本申请相关技术的简要介绍如下。
1、小区切换(hand-over):
示例性的,在第五代(5th generation,5G)或新无线(new radio,NR)系统中,小区切换的流程可以包括如图1所示的步骤S101-S109:
步骤S101、终端设备的源基站(也可以称为切换前的服务基站)可以向终端设备发送测量配置。相应的,终端设备接收到来自源基站的测量配置。
可选的,测量配置可以包括测量对象(如服务小区、或邻区)、测量上报的触发事件等。
示例性的,该触发事件可以包括事件A1、事件A2、事件A3、事件A4、事件A5等。其中,事件A1为服务小区的信号质量大于第一预设阈值;事件A2为服务小区的信号质量小于第二预设阈值;事件A3为邻区的信号质量大于服务小区的信号质量;事件A4为邻区的信号质量大于第三预设阈值;事件A5为服务小区的信号质量小于第二预设阈值,且邻区的信号质量大于第三预设阈值。
步骤S102、终端设备根据接收到的测量配置,对测量对象进行测量。
可选的,若终端设备在一定时间段内测得的一个测量对象的测量结果满足测量上报的触发事件,会触发终端设备进行上报。
可选的,在一定时间段内,一个小区的测量结果满足测量上报的触发事件时,可以将该小区的标识加入触发小区列表(cells triggered list)中。
示例性的,一定时间段是由源基站配置的。该一定时间段也可以称为触发时间(time to trigger,TTT)。
其中,测量结果是由层1(如物理(physical,PHY)层)测量,且由层3(如无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层)滤波后获得的结果。
步骤S103、终端设备向源基站发送测量报告。相应的,源基站接收来自终端设备的测量报告。
步骤S104、源基站接收到测量报告后基于测量报告确定目标小区。
例如,源基站对测量报告中的测量结果进行评估,进而确定目标小区。
步骤S105、源基站向目标小区所属的目标基站发送切换请求。相应的,目标基站接收来自源基站的切换请求。
示例性的,切换请求包括目标小区的标识(indentity,ID)等切换所需的信息。
步骤S106、目标基站进行准入控制。
可选的,准入控制可以理解为判断是否支持终端设备接入到目标基站。
在支持终端设备接入到目标基站的情况下,执行S107:
步骤S107、目标基站向源基站发送切换确认信息。相应的,源基站接收来自目标基站的切换确认信息。
示例性的,切换确认信息包括与目标小区相关的RRC重配置(reconfiguration)信息(如目标小区的ID等)。
步骤S108、源基站向终端设备转发切换确认信息。相应的,终端设备接收来自源基站的切换确认信息。
步骤S109、终端设备根据切换确认信息执行切换。
示例性的,终端设备可以根据RRC重配置信息执行RRC重配置。在RRC重配置执行结束后,终端设备向目标基站发送RRC重配置成功的信息。相应的,目标基站接收来自终端设备的RRC重配置成功的信息。此时,可以认为终端设备无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)侧切换成功。
可选的,本申请中的切换泛指RRC连接状态下的网络设备控制与终端设备控制的切换、小区变更等。
2、无人驾驶飞行器(uncrewed aerial vehicle,UAV)的小区切换:
UAV作为一种新型的飞行器,以其灵活方便的特点得到普及。同时,蜂窝网络能够为UAV提供广泛的覆盖、高可靠性、高安全性、连续的移动性等特性支撑。
UAV的通信环境与传统终端设备(如手机等)存在较大区别。UAV一般处于网络设备的上方,以视距(line of sight,LOS)径通信为主,因此,相较于传统终端设备,UAV能够接收到更多网络设备的信号。此外,由于网络设备是向地面方向发射电磁波,UAV接收到的信号通常是地面反射的电磁波或波束的旁瓣,因此UAV接收到的信号的强度小于传统终端设备接收到的信号的强度。
从而,若将传统终端设备的小区切换直接应用到UAV的小区切换中,会导致UAV在小区切换的过程中,更多、更频繁的进行测量及上报。
基于上述现象,长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统和5G系统对UAV的小区切换进行了如下增强:在小区切换过程中,若UAV在TTT内测得的一个邻区的测量结果满足测量上报的触发事件,将该小区的标识加入触发小区列表,并且在触发小区列表中的小区标识的数量满足预设的数量阈值的情况下,触发UAV进行上报。
3、连接失败恢复机制:
连接失败恢复机制指终端设备发生连接失败时,重新建立RRC连接(或者说进行RRC重建立)。即重新建立终端设备与网络设备的RRC连接,进而恢复终端设备的业务连接。其中,连接失败可以包括无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)、切换失败等。
4、自组织网络(self orginazing network,SON):
SON指网络能够自行分析网络中的数据,并自主完成相应的网络配置与优化。SON包括自配置、自优化、小区失效的监测与优化三个功能。自配置功能可以包括接口自配置功能和自动更新邻区的功能。自优化功能可以包括移动性鲁棒优化(mobility robustness optimization,MRO)、移动性复杂均衡、随机接入优化、以及物理小区标识(physical cell identifier,PCI)的冲突检测与优化。
示例性的,MRO可以用于检测和纠正以下问题:
由于LTE系统内或NR系统内切换过晚造成的连接失败;由于无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)间切换过晚造成的连接失败;不必要的RAT间切换;RTA间的乒乓(Inter-RAT ping-pong)切换;系统内的乒乓(Inter-system ping-pong)切换等。
示例性的,在MRO技术中,如图2所示,在终端设备与网络设备1之间发生RLF的情况下,终端设备会生成RLF报告,并重新建立RRC连接(图2中以建立终端设备与网络设备2的连接为例)。在与网络设备2建立RRC连接后,终端设备向网络设备2发送该RLF报告,网络设备2接收来自终端设备的RLF报告,生成RLF指示信息,并向网络设备1发送RLF指示信息。
其中,RLF报告可以包括以下至少一项:最后一个服务小区的小区全球标识(cell global identifier, CGI)(或该小区的PCI和频率)、终端设备尝试RRC重建立的小区的CGI、终端设备最后一次切换初始化时所在小区的CGI、从终端设备上次切换初始化至发生连接失败之间的时长、指示连接失败的原因是RLF或是切换失败、最后一个服务小区为终端设备分配的小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)、终端设备检测到的最后一个RLF的RLF触发器、从连接失败到终端设备发送RLF报告之间的时长、无线测量量。
RLF指示信息可以包括以下至少一项:发生RLF之前终端设备连接的小区的PCI、终端设备尝试RRC重建立的小区的CGI、终端设备在发生RLF之前的小区中的C-RNTI、短媒体接入控制标识(short media access control-identifier,short MAC-I)、RLF报告、RRC重建立的原因。
在UAV场景下,由于空中的通信环境与地面的通信环境存在差异,因此UAV在移动的过程中,在垂直方向上接收到的信号会出现陡降。
示例性的,如图3所示,垂直方向上A点至C点之间的区域是网络设备1的信号覆盖区域,垂直方向上B点至D点之间的区域是网络设备2的信号覆盖区域。UAV从A点移动到B点的过程中由网络设备1为其提供服务。UAV从B点移动到C点的过程中,虽然能够同时接收到网络设备1与网络设备2的信号,但是由于网络设备1的信号质量并未降低,因此在UAV从B点移动到C点的过程中,依然由网络设备1为其提供服务。UAV从C点移动到D点的过程中,由于此时UAV所在的位置超出了网络设备1的信号覆盖区域,造成网络设备1的信号质量突然降低。而在网络设备1的信号质量突然降低的过程中,终端设备未能提前上报测量结果,致使网络设备1无法及时根据该测量结果确定终端设备需要进行切换,以致于造成UAV发生连接失败。
然而,目前的SON技术并不适用于UAV在移动过程中发生连接失败的场景。即,基于目前的SON技术在该场景下无法进行网络优化。
有鉴于此,本申请提出一种数据传输方法,在终端设备在垂直方向具有移动速度的场景下,能够帮助网络设备针对移动性相关问题进行网络优化。其中,网络优化的可以包括基于场景的检测(如分析原因)、基于场景的优化。

其中,至少两个网络设备可以包括第一网络设备和第二网络设备。终端设备可以先与第二网络设备连接,或者说可以先连接至第二网络设备。后续终端设备在移动过程中发生连接失败,并重新建立RRC连接,连接至第一网络设备。即,第一网络设备为发生连接失败后终端设备重新连接的网络设备,第二网络设备为发生连接失败前终端设备连接的网络设备。其中,在移动过程中终端设备在垂直方向上存在移动速度。
示例性的,终端设备与第二网络设备连接可以理解为终端设备与第二网络设备中的第一小区连接,也就是说,第一小区是发生连接失败前终端设备的服务小区。

如图6所示,为本申请提供的一种数据传输方法,该数据传输方法包括如下步骤:
S601、终端设备确定第一信息。
其中,第一信息指示终端设备在移动过程中发生了连接失败,且移动过程中终端设备在垂直方向上存在移动速度。
可选的,连接失败可以包括RLF或切换失败。
可选的,第一信息包括以下至少一项:
(1)、发生连接失败时终端设备的位置信息。
可选的,终端设备的位置信息可以为终端设备在二维空间中的绝对位置。或者,也可以为在二维空间中终端设备相对于第二网络设备的位置。
可选的,在终端设备的位置信息为终端设备在二维空间中的绝对位置的情况下,终端设备的位置信息可以包括终端设备在经纬度坐标系中的坐标。
示例性的,可以通过协议中(例如3GPP协议)规范的位置信息(location information)的相关方式表示终端设备的位置信息。
可选的,终端设备的位置信息为二维空间中终端设备相对于第二网络设备的位置的情况下,终端设备的位置信息可以包括终端设备相对于第二网络设备的位置。
示例性的,终端设备的位置信息可以通过终端设备和第二网络设备在水平方向的相对距离表示。
可选的,终端设备的位置信息可以由终端设备确定,或者,由第二网络设备确定并通知终端设备。
示例性的,终端设备可以通过其与第二网络设备之间的数据传输时间,计算其与第二网络设备在水平方向的相对距离,进而确定其位置信息。
或者,第二网络设备可以根据终端设备在经纬度坐标系中的坐标计算其与终端设备在水平方向的相对距离,进而确定终端设备的位置信息,并将终端设备的位置信息发送至终端设备。
(2)、发生连接失败时终端设备的移动速度。
可选的,终端设备的移动速度可以是终端设备在垂直方向上的速度,或者也可以是终端设备在水平方向上的速度。
(3)、发生连接失败时终端设备的高度信息。
作为一种实现的可能,终端设备的高度信息可以包括终端设备相对于第二网络设备的高度。例如,终端设备和第二网络设备的高度差。
示例性的,在终端设备的高度为50米,第二网络设备的高度为60米的情况下,终端设备相对于第二网络设备的高度可以为-10米。在终端设备的高度为60米,第二网络设备的高度为50米的情况下,终端设备相对于第二网络设备的高度可以为10米。
作为另一种实现的可能,终端设备的高度信息可以包括终端设备的绝对高度,如海拔高度。
(4)、终端设备的移动轨迹。
示例性的,移动轨迹可以是终端设备或第二网络设备预先设置的。终端设备可以根据该移动轨迹进行移动。
(5)、第一时间段内第一小区的信号质量。其中,第一时间段的结束时刻为发生连接失败的时刻。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一时间段的起始时刻可以为预设时刻。例如,预设时刻可以是发生连接失败的时刻之前的第10秒(second,s)。
另一种可能的实现方式中,第一时间段的起始时刻可以根据造成连接失败的信号质量阈值确定。
可选的,将第一小区的信号质量小于造成连接失败的信号质量阈值的时刻确定为第一时间段的起始时刻。
示例性的,在A时刻第一小区的信号质量小于造成连接失败的信号质量阈值的情况下,可以将A时刻至B时刻(不包括B时刻)内的任一时刻确定为第一时间段的起始时刻。其中,B时刻是发生连接失败的时刻,A时刻为发生连接失败前的时刻。例如,第一时间段的时长可以是10s。
需要说明的是,上述仅是对第一时间段的示例性描述,实际上,第一时间段的时长可以更长,或者更短,例如,第一时间段的时长可以为5s,本申请不作具体限制。
可选的,在第一时间段内,终端设备可以以秒或毫秒(milli second,ms)为周期确定第一小区的信号质量,例如,每秒或每毫秒确定一次第一小区的信号质量,本申请在此不做限制。
(6)、触发小区列表,触发小区列表包括满足预设条件的小区的标识。
可选的,预设条件可以是测量上报的触发事件。例如,预设条件可以是事件A1、事件A2、事件A3、事件A4、事件A5、事件H1、事件H2等。其中,事件A1至A5可参考前文中的定义,事件H1为终端设备的高度大于第四预设阈值;事件H2为终端设备的高度小于第五预设阈值。
(7)、第一小区的邻区中满足预设条件的小区的标识。
可选的,满足预设条件的小区的标识可以组成触发小区列表。
(8)、终端设备最后一次切换的切换类型。其中,切换类型为垂直切换。
可选的,最后一次切换可以理解为发生连接失败前终端设备本应该执行但实际未执行的切换。
可选的,连接失败可以是终端设备本应该进行小区切换但实际没来得及切换(即切换过晚)导致的。其中,终端设备本应该进行的切换可以包括:终端设备向第二网络设备发送测量报告,第二网络设备根 据该测量报告确定目标网络设备,并向目标网络设备发送切换请求。目标网络设备接收到切换请求后,进行准入控制。在终端设备能够接入目标网络设备的情况下,目标网络设备向第二网络设备发送切换确认信息。其中该切换确认信息包括终端设备的RRC重配置信息。第二网络设备将切换确认信息转发至终端设备。终端设备根据切换确认信息执行切换。然而,由于终端设备未能提前上报测量报告、第二网络设备未能及时根据测量报告确定终端设备需要进行切换等原因,造成了终端设备未能及时切换,进而发生连接失败。
垂直切换可以理解为切换前后终端设备的服务小区(或者说源小区和目标小区)在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域不同。例如,第二网络设备与第三网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域的上限高度不同;或者,第二网络设备与第三网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域的下限高度不同。
示例性的,如图7中的(a)所示,第二网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域为[M,O],第三网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域为[N,P]。在终端设备向上移动时,从M点移动至O点的过程中,由第二网络设备为终端设备提供服务,即终端设备与第二网络设备连接。由于第三网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域的上限高度大于第二网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域的上限高度,从O点移动至P点的过程中,因此需要由第三网络设备为其提供服务,即终端设备需与第三网络设备连接。因此在临近O点,或者在O点时,终端设备需要从第二网络设备切换至第三网络设备。其中该切换的类型可以称为垂直切换。
或者,如图7中的(b)所示,第二网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域为[T,R],第三网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域为[S,Q]。在终端设备向下移动时,从R点移动至T点的过程中,由第二网络设备为终端设备提供服务,即终端设备与第二网络设备连接。由于第三网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域的下限高度小于第二网络设备在垂直方向上的信号覆盖区域的下限高度,从T点移动至S点的过程中,因此需要由第三网络设备为其提供服务,即终端设备需与第三网络设备连接。因此在临近T点,或者在T点时,终端设备需要从第二网络设备切换至第三网络设备。其中该切换的类型可以称为垂直切换。
基于该方案,第二网络设备根据该切换类型确定:终端设备发生连接失败的场景为移动过程中,终端设备在垂直方向上具有移动速度。例如,终端设备在垂直方向上移动。进而能够根据该场景进行网络优化,以实现终端设备在垂直方向上具有移动速度的移动过程中发生连接失败的场景下的网络优化。
S602、终端设备向第一网络设备发送第一信息。相应的,第一网络设备接收来自终端设备的第一信息。
可选的,终端设备可以在与第一网络设备建立连接后,向第一网络设备发送第一信息。
可选的,第一信息可以携带在RLF报告中。
S603、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第二信息。相应的,第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的第二信息。
可选的,第二信息可以用于第二网络设备分析发生连接失败的原因;和/或,第二信息可以用于第二网络设备基于连接失败进行网络优化。
可选的,第一网络设备接收到第一信息后,向第二网络设备发送第二信息。或者说,第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第二信息的动作可以由第一网络设备收到第一信息触发。
可选的,第二信息可以携带在RLF指示信息中。
其中,第二信息包括以下至少一项:
(1)、第一网络设备相对于第二网络设备的位置。
可选的,第一网络设备相对于第二网络设备的位置可以理解为在三维空间中,第一网络设备相对于第二网络设备的位置。
作为一种可能的实现,第一网络设备相对于第二网络设备的位置可以包括第一网络设备相对于第二网络设备的高度。
示例性的,在第一网络设备的高度为50米,第二网络设备的高度为60米的情况下,第一网络设备相对于第二网络设备的高度可以为-10米。在第一网络设备的高度为60米,第二网络设备的高度为50米的情况下,第一网络设备相对于第二网络设备的高度可以为10米。

可选的,终端设备向上移动的过程中,第二网络设备可以设置第二触发机制,该第二触发机制指示在终端设备移动至第一信号覆盖区域的下限高度时,第二网络设备向终端设备发送切换确认信息,该切换确认信息指示终端设备切换至第一网络设备。
或者,终端设备向下移动的过程中,第二网络设备可以设置第三触发机制,该第二触发机制指示在终端设备移动至第一信号覆盖区域的上限高度时,第二网络设备向终端设备发送切换确认信息,该切换确认信息指示终端设备切换至第一网络设备。
示例性的,如图9中的(a)所示,终端设备向上移动的过程中,终端设备移动至第一信号覆盖区域的下限高度Y点时,触发第二触发机制,第二网络设备向终端设备发送切换确认信息,该切换确认信息指示终端设备切换至第一网络设备。
如图9中(b)所示,终端设备向下移动的过程中,终端设备移动至第一信号覆盖区域的上限高度X点时,触发第三触发机制,第二网络设备向终端设备发送切换确认信息,该切换确认信息指示终端设备 切换至第一网络设备。
基于该可能的实现,能够明确终端设备发生连接失败时可能所处的区域,进而第二网络设备根据第一信号覆盖区域进行网络优化,以避免终端未能提前上报测量结果,而造成的连接失败。
基于上述数据传输方法,终端设备可以向第一网络设备发送第一信息,使得第一网络设备能够获知终端设备在垂直方向上具有移动速度,且在移动过程中发生了连接失败,从而使得第一网络设备能够向发生连接失败前终端设备连接的网络设备发送与该连接失败场景相关的信息,帮助发生连接失败前终端设备连接的网络设备针对该场景进行网络优化。
