一种无线通信方法、通信装置及通信系统
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2022年08月09日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210952890.0、申请名称为“一种无线通信方法、通信装置及通信系统”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种无线通信方法、通信装置及通信系统。
背景技术
目前,终端设备有三种无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)状态,分别是RRC连接态(RRC_connected),RRC空闲态(RRC_idle)和RRC非激活态(RRC_inactive)。
对于处于RRC非激活态的终端设备,为了避免在业务流量较小的情况下进入RRC连接态带来的终端设备的能耗增加,当处于RRC非激活态的终端设备要传输的数据量低于预设阈值时,终端设备可以不进入RRC连接态,而是在RRC非激活态下与无线接入网设备进行数据和/或信令的传输。该过程称为小数据传输。
组播通信是指相同的服务和相同的数据同时提供给一组特定的终端设备。一般地,网络侧可以通过组播会话向处于RRC连接态的终端设备发送组播业务。当网络侧没有要发送给终端设备的组播会话数据时,网络侧可以让终端设备进入RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态以节约终端设备的能耗。当组播会话被激活或者组播会话的数据到达时,网络侧通过组通知机制通知处于RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态的终端设备,终端设备接收到组通知后可以重新与网络侧建立连接,以接收组播会话的数据。一旦终端设备离开该组播会话,终端设备可以停止监控与该组播会话相关的组通知。
一种场景中,当组播会话激活后,网络侧寻呼加入该组播会话且处于RRC非激活态的终端设备,此时该终端设备有可能处于小数据传输过程,也有可能没有处于小数据传输过程。此时,终端设备具体需要执行何种操作,有待解决。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种无线通信方法、通信装置及通信系统,用以保障终端设备在小数据传输过程中节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种无线通信方法,该方法可以由第一终端设备或应用于第一终端设备的模块(如芯片)来执行。该方法包括:第一终端设备接收寻呼消息,该寻呼消息包括至少一个组播会话的标识信息,该第一终端设备处于RRC非激活态;当满足第一条件,该第一终端设备触发RRC连接恢复流程;其中,该第一条件包括:该至少一个组播会话中包含该第一终端设备加入的组播会话,且该第一终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中;或者,该第一条件包括:该寻呼消息还包括至少一个终端设备的标识信息,该 至少一个组播会话中包含该第一终端设备加入的组播会话,该终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中,且该至少一个终端设备的标识信息不包括该第一终端设备的标识信息;该小数据传输为该第一终端设备在RRC非激活态进行的数据量低于预设阈值的数据和/或信令的传输。
上述方案,如果网络侧发送的寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,表明网络侧有组播会话的数据需要发送给第一终端设备,第一终端设备可以向网络侧请求恢复RRC连接以接收组播会话的数据。然而,若第一终端设备收到寻呼消息后,当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明第一终端设备在收到寻呼消息之前已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,无线接入网设备和第一终端设备之间有可用的数据/信令传输通路,无线接入网设备已知第一终端设备驻留的小区,因此如果网络侧需要让第一终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以通过该传输通路向第一终端设备发送RRC恢复消息。因此,第一终端设备在收到该寻呼消息之后,如果当前处于小数据传输过程,则无需再次向网络侧发送RRC恢复请求消息,而是可以等待网络侧设备发送RRC恢复消息,该RRC恢复消息可以是响应于第一终端设备在触发小数据传输时发送的RRC恢复请求消息,从而可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
一种可能的实现方法中,该第一终端设备触发RRC连接恢复流程,包括:该第一终端设备向无线接入网设备发送RRC恢复请求消息。
一种可能的实现方法中,当满足第二条件,该第一终端设备确定不触发RRC连接恢复流程;其中,该第二条件包括:该至少一个组播会话中包含该第一终端设备加入的组播会话,且该第一终端设备处于小数据传输过程中。
上述方案,当第一终端设备正在进行小数据传输,表明第一终端设备已经向无线接入网设备发送过RRC恢复请求消息,无线接入网设备和第一终端设备之间有可用的数据/信令传输通路,无线接入网设备已知第一终端设备驻留的小区,因此第一终端设备在收到用于通知组播会话激活的寻呼消息后,可以不需要再触发RRC连接恢复流程,而是等待无线接入网设备向第一终端设备发送RRC恢复消息以使第一终端设备进入RRC连接态,从而可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
一种可能的实现方法中,该第一终端设备向无线接入网设备发送指示信息,该指示信息指示非小数据传输的无线承载上有数据和/或信令到达,或者该至少一个组播会话中包含该第一终端设备加入的组播会话,或者该第一终端设备加入的组播会话已经激活。
上述方案,根据第一终端设备发送的指示信息,无线接入网设备可以获知第一终端设备在非小数据传输的无线承载上有数据或信令到达,或者获知第一终端设备期望进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,有助于无线接入网设备判断是否要让第一终端设备恢复RRC连接态,便于后续无线接入网设备与第一终端设备之间的正确通信。比如,如果第一终端设备在收到寻呼消息后,不期望进入RRC连接态接收该寻呼消息中指示的组播会话,或已经释放了该组播会话,则第一终端设备可以不向无线接入网设备发送该指示信息,无线接入网设备就不需要让第一终端设备进入RRC连接态。
一种可能的实现方法中,当满足第三条件,该第一终端设备进入RRC空闲态并触发RRC连接建立流程;其中,该第三条件包括:该寻呼消息还包括至少一个终端设备的标识信息,该至少一个组播会话中包含该第一终端设备加入的组播会话,该终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中,且该至少一个终端设备的标识信息包括该第一终端设备的标识信息。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供一种无线通信方法,该方法可以由终端设备或应用于终端设备的模块(如芯片)来执行。该方法包括:终端设备根据小数据传输的状态,判断是否监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,该终端设备处于RRC非激活态,该寻呼消息包含至少一个组播会话的标识信息;其中,该终端设备加入了一个或多个组播会话,该小数据传输为该第一终端设备在RRC非激活态进行的数据量低于预设阈值的数据和/或信令的传输。
上述方案,终端设备根据小数据传输的状态决定监听用于组通知的寻呼消息或不监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,而不是始终监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,有助于节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
一种可能的实现方法中,该终端设备根据小数据传输的状态,判断是否监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,包括:当终端设备未在进行小数据传输,则终端设备监听该寻呼消息。
上述方案,当处于RRC非激活态的终端设备未在进行小数据传输,表明无线接入网设备不知道终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间也没有可用的数据/信令通路,因此终端设备需要通过监听寻呼的方式,及时地判断网络侧是否发送了用于通知已经激活的组播会话的寻呼消息,以保证能够及时接收组播会话的数据。
一种可能的实现方法中,该终端设备根据小数据传输的状态,判断是否监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,包括:当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,则该终端设备不监听该寻呼消息。
上述方案,若终端设备当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明无线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息,因此终端设备不需要监听用于通知组播会话已经激活的寻呼消息,无需解码承载寻呼消息的物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)上的数据块,从而可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
一种可能的实现方法中,该终端设备正在进行小数据传输,则不监听该寻呼消息,包括:当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且该终端设备不支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,则该终端设备不监听该寻呼消息。
该方案,若终端设备当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明无线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息。并且由于该终端设备不支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,因此终端设备需要进入到RRC连接态才接收组播会话的数据,进而终端设备可以不监听用于通知组播会话已经激活的寻呼消息,无需解码承载寻呼消息的PDSCH上的数据块,而是等待网络侧主动通知终端设备进入RRC连接态,因而该方案可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
一种可能的实现方法中,该终端设备接收RRC消息,该RRC消息包括该至少一个组播会话的标识信息,该RRC消息用于通知该至少一个组播会话已经被激活;当该至少一个组播会话中包含该终端设备加入的组播会话,该终端设备在RRC非激活态下接收该终端设备加入的组播会话。可选的,该RRC消息还指示终端设备保持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话。
用于组通知的寻呼消息是广播消息,该寻呼消息是在初始(initial)带宽部分(bandwidth  part,BWP)上发送的。若终端设备当前进行小数据传输的BWP带宽范围与initial BWP的带宽范围的总和超出终端设备支持的带宽(例如该终端设备为低能力终端设备),则终端设备不能同时进行小数据传输和接收寻呼消息。如果终端设备在小数据传输过程中要接收组寻呼,则需要将BWP切换到initial BWP上以接收组寻呼,这会导致小数据传输过程中的数据丢包。但通过上述方案,终端设备可以在小数据传输的BWP上通过专用信令(即RRC消息)接收用于通知组播会话已经激活的通知,而不是通过寻呼消息通知组播会话已经激活,因此无需进行BWP切换,可以避免丢包,以及降低终端设备的实现复杂度。
一种可能的实现方法中,该终端设备根据小数据传输的状态,判断是否监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,包括:当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且该终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,则该终端设备监听该寻呼消息。
若终端设备当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明无线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息,以触发终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,因此一般情况下,终端设备可以不需要监听用于通知组播会话已经激活的寻呼消息,只需要等待无线接入网设备发送的RRC恢复消息。然而,在该方案中,若终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且该终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,则该终端设备需要监听该寻呼消息,这是因为:由于终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,因而无线接入网设备可能不向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息以触发终端设备进入RRC连接态并在RRC连接态接收组播会话的数据,因此终端设备需要主动监听寻呼消息,以获知组播会话是否已经被激活,避免错过网络下发的组播会话的数据,当终端设备监听到组播会话已经被激活,则可以在RRC非激活态下接收组播会话的数据。
一种可能的实现方法中,该当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且该终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,则该终端设备监听该寻呼消息,包括:当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,该终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,且该终端设备驻留的小区支持为处于非激活态的终端设备提供组播会话,则该终端设备监听该寻呼消息。
上述方案,需要保证该终端设备驻留的小区支持为处于非激活态的终端设备提供组播会话的情况下,终端设备在监听寻呼消息,以避免终端设备做无效的监听,有助于节约不必要的能耗开销。
第三方面,本申请实施例提供一种无线通信方法,该方法可以由终端设备或应用于终端设备的模块(如芯片)来执行。该方法包括:终端设备接收第一消息,该第一消息包括至少一个组播会话的标识信息,该终端设备处于RRC非激活态;当该至少一个组播会话中包含该终端设备加入的组播会话,且该终端设备处于小数据传输过程中,该终端设备进入RRC空闲态并触发RRC连接建立流程;其中,该小数据传输为该终端设备在RRC非激活态进行的数据量低于预设阈值的数据和/或信令的传输。
上述方案,如果网络侧发送的第一消息中的至少一个组播会话包含终端设备加入的组播会话,表明网络侧有组播会话的数据需要发送给终端设备,终端设备可以向网络侧请求恢复RRC连接以接收组播会话的数据。然而,若终端设备收到寻呼消息后,当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备在收到寻呼消息之前已经向网络侧发送 过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息。因此,终端设备在收到该寻呼消息之后,如果当前处于小数据传输过程,则无需再次向网络侧发送RRC恢复请求消息,而是可以直接进入RRC空闲态并触发RRC连接建立流程,从而可以实现快速进入RRC连接态并接收组播会话的数据,以及可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。

无线接入网设备可以是基站(base station)、演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNodeB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、第五代(5th generation,5G)移动通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB,gNB)、第六代(6th generation,6G)移动通信系统中的基站、未来移动通信系统中的基站或无线保真(wireless fidelity,WiFi)系统中的接入节点等;也可以是完成基站部分功能的模块或单元,例如,可以是集中式单元 (central unit,CU),也可以是分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)。无线接入网设备可以是宏基站(如图1中的110a),也可以是微基站或室内站(如图1中的110b),还可以是中继节点或施主节点等。本申请的实施例对无线接入网设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。

为便于理解本申请实施例的方案,下面先介绍本申请实施例中涉及的名词或术语。该名词或术语也作为本发明的一部分。
一、终端设备的状态
目前,终端设备有三种无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)状态,分别是RRC连接态(RRC_connected),RRC空闲态(RRC_idle)和RRC非激活态(RRC_inactive)。
RRC连接态下,终端设备与无线接入网设备之间建立了RRC连接,终端设备与无线接入网设备之间可以进行数据传输。当没有数据传输时,无线接入网设备可以将终端设备释放到RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态。
RRC空闲态下,终端设备与无线接入网设备之间没有建立RRC连接,终端设备与无线接入网设备之间一般不进行数据传输。
RRC非激活态下,无线接入网设备挂起(suspend)RRC连接并维护终端设备的上下文信息。后续当需要恢复到RRC连接态时,由于无线接入网设备中维护有终端设备的上 下文信息,终端设备可以快速恢复到RRC连接态。
二、寻呼
由于终端设备具有移动性,当终端设备处于RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态,网络为了找到该终端设备,可以广播发送寻呼消息,终端设备收到寻呼消息后,可以判断该寻呼消息中是否包含该终端设备的标识信息。如果包含,表明网络在寻呼该终端设备,因此该终端设备可以触发建立RRC连接,进入RRC连接态。
目前存在两种寻呼方式。一种是核心网寻呼,即核心网在跟踪区标识(tracking area identity,TAI)列表指示的跟踪区域(tracking area,TA)内发送寻呼消息。其中,TAI列表中包括一个或多个TAI,一个TAI标识一个TA,一个TA包括一个或多个小区。该寻呼消息也称为核心网寻呼消息。
另一种是基于RAN的通知区域(RAN-based notification area,RNA)寻呼,即无线接入网设备在RNA的范围内发送寻呼消息。其中,一个RNA包括一个或多个小区,并且RNA的范围要小于TA的范围。该寻呼消息也称为RAN寻呼消息或RNA寻呼消息。
三、小数据传输(small data transmission,SDT)
对于处于RRC非激活态的终端设备,为了避免在业务流量较小的情况下进入RRC连接态带来的终端设备的能耗增加,当处于RRC非激活态的终端设备要传输的数据量低于预设阈值时,终端设备可以不进入RRC连接态,而是在RRC非激活态下与无线接入网设备进行数据和/或信令的传输。该过程称为小数据传输。也即,小数据传输指的是终端设备在RRC非激活态进行的数据量低于预设阈值的数据和/或信令的传输。
小数据传输的方式包括但不限于以下两种方法。
方法一,通过随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)过程进行小数据传输。
一种方式中,如果该RACH过程是四步RACH,则终端设备可以在MSG3中向无线接入网设备发送上行小数据(也称为SDT UL data),以及还在MSG3中发送RRC恢复请求(RRCResumeRequest)消息。
另一种方式中,如果该RACH过程是两步RACH,则终端设备可以在MSGA中向无线接入网设备发送上行小数据,以及还在MSGA中发送RRC恢复请求消息。
方法二,通过预配置授权(configured grant,CG)资源进行小数据传输。
终端设备通过CG资源向无线接入网设备发送上行小数据,以及还发送RRC恢复请求消息。该CG资源是无线接入网设备通过RRC释放(RRCRelease)消息中配置给终端设备的。
上述方法一、方法二中,终端设备向无线接入网设备发送的RRC恢复请求消息,用于触发用于小数据传输的RRC连接恢复。
上述小数据传输的方案,使得处于RRC非激活态的终端设备,不需要进入RRC连接态就可以发送小数据,降低了终端设备为了数据量较小的数据传输而进入RRC连接态导致的终端设备的能耗开销。
四、组播通信
组播通信是指相同的服务和相同的数据同时提供给一组特定的终端设备。一般地,网络侧可以通过组播会话向处于RRC连接态的终端设备发送组播业务。当网络侧没有要发送给终端设备的组播会话数据时,网络侧可以让终端设备进入RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态以节约终端设备的能耗。当组播会话被激活或者组播会话的数据到达时,网络侧通过组 通知机制通知处于RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态的终端设备,终端设备接收到组通知后可以重新与网络侧建立连接,以接收组播会话的数据。一旦终端设备离开该组播会话,终端设备可以停止监控与该组播会话相关的组通知。
一种场景中,当组播会话激活后,网络侧寻呼加入该组播会话且处于RRC非激活态的终端设备,此时该终端设备有可能处于小数据传输过程,也有可能没有处于小数据传输过程。此时,终端设备具体需要执行何种操作,有待解决。
图2为本申请实施例提供的一种无线通信方法的流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤201,第一终端设备接收寻呼消息。
该第一终端设备处于RRC非激活态。
该寻呼消息是用于组通知的寻呼消息,该寻呼消息中包含至少一个组播会话的标识信息,通知终端设备已经激活的组播会话。当核心网向无线接入网设备通知组播会话已经被激活,或无线接入网设备收到了组播会话的数据时,无线接入网设备可以采用组通知的方式,向加入该组播会话的处于RRC非激活态的终端设备发送寻呼消息,以通知组播会话激活。其中,该寻呼消息中的组播会话的标识信息,可以指示特定公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)内的特定组播业务。
一种实现方法中,该组播会话可以是组播广播业务(multicast broadcast service,MBS)组播会话,该组播会话的标识信息可以是临时移动组标识(temporary mobile group identifier,TMGI)。
步骤202,当满足第一条件,第一终端设备触发RRC连接恢复流程。
一种实现方法中,该第一条件包括:寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,且第一终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中(SDT procedure is not on-going)。其中,上述至少一个组播会话中包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,表明该第一终端设备加入的某个或某些组播会话已经激活,或者理解为网络侧有组播会话的数据需要发送给该第一终端设备。本申请实施例中,不处于小数据传输过程中,指的是当前没有进行小数据传输,二者具有相同含义。处于小数据传输过程中,指的是当前正在进行小数据传输,二者具有相同含义。这里做统一描述,后续不赘述。
例如,寻呼消息中包括TMGI_1、TMGI_2、TMGI_3和TMGI_4,表明TMGI_1、TMGI_2、TMGI_3和TMGI_4所标识的组播会话已经激活。如果UE_1已经加入的组播会话的标识信息包括TMGI_5和TMGI_6,则寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话不包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,表明网络侧没有组播会话的数据需要发送给该UE_1。如果UE_1已经加入的组播会话的标识信息包括TMGI_1和TMGI_6,则寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,表明网络侧有组播会话的数据需要发送给该UE_1。具体的,网络侧需要向UE_1发送TMGI_1所标识的组播会话的数据。
其中,该第一终端设备触发RRC连接恢复流程,具体可以是:第一终端设备向无线接入网设备发送RRC恢复请求消息,用于请求从RRC非激活态恢复到RRC连接态。无线接入网设备收到RRC恢复请求消息,可以向第一终端设备发送RRC恢复消息,以触发第一终端设备从RRC非激活态恢复到RRC连接态。
上述方案,如果网络侧发送的寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,表明网络侧有组播会话的数据需要发送给第一终端设备,第一终端设备可以向网络侧请求恢复RRC连接以接收组播会话的数据。然而,若第一终端设备收到寻呼消 息后,当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明第一终端设备在收到寻呼消息之前已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,无线接入网设备和第一终端设备之间有可用的数据/信令传输通路,无线接入网设备已知第一终端设备驻留的小区,因此如果网络侧需要让第一终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以通过该传输通路向第一终端设备发送RRC恢复消息。因此,第一终端设备在收到该寻呼消息之后,如果当前处于小数据传输过程,则无需再次向网络侧发送RRC恢复请求消息,而是可以等待网络侧设备发送RRC恢复消息,该RRC恢复消息可以是响应于第一终端设备在触发小数据传输时发送的RRC恢复请求消息,从而可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
一种实现方法中,上述寻呼消息中还包括至少一个终端设备的标识信息,该至少一个终端设备指的是核心网需要寻呼的终端设备。当寻呼消息中的至少一个终端设备的标识信息(UE-Identity)包括该第一终端设备的标识信息,表明核心网正在寻呼该第一终端设备,所述终端设备的标识信息是与核心网寻呼相关联的标识信息。当寻呼消息中的至少一个终端设备的标识信息不包括该第一终端设备的标识信息,表明核心网没有在寻呼该第一终端设备。所述寻呼消息中的至少一个终端设备的标识信息不包括该第一终端设备的标识信息也可以替换为/理解为,所述寻呼消息中的至少一个终端设备的标识信息与第一终端设备的标识信息不匹配(match)。
一种实现方法中,上述步骤202的第一条件可以替换为:寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,寻呼消息中的至少一个终端设备的标识信息不包括第一终端设备的标识信息,并且第一终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中。也即,当第一终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中,没有被核心网寻呼,但被通知有组播会话激活,则第一终端设备触发RRC连接恢复流程,进入RRC连接态,后续接收网络通过该激活的组播会话发送的数据。
又一种实现方法中,如果不满足上述第一条件,但满足第二条件,则第一终端设备确定不触发RRC连接恢复流程。该第二条件包括:上述寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,且第一终端设备处于小数据传输过程中。也即,当第一终端设备确定第一终端设备的某个或某些组播会话已经激活且网络需要通过该激活的组播会话向第一终端设备发送数据,但该第一终端设备当前处于小数据传输过程中,则第一终端设备确定不触发RRC连接恢复流程。具体的,当第一终端设备处于RRC非激活态,则确定不发送RRC恢复请求消息。这是因为:根据前面介绍的小数据传输的流程可知,第一终端设备处于小数据传输的过程中,已经向无线接入网设备发送过RRC恢复请求消息,第一终端设备和无线接入网设备之间已经保持有可用的信令/数据传输链路,第一终端设备与哪个无线接入网设备保持连接,对于网络侧是可知的,因此第一终端设备不需要再重复发送一次RRC恢复请求消息,从而可以节约信令开销。由于无线接入网设备知晓第一终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且需要向第一终端设备发送组播会话的数据,则无线接入网设备可以在第一终端设备的小数据传输完成之后向第一终端设备发送RRC恢复消息,用于触发第一终端设备进入RRC连接态,然后向处于RRC连接态的第一终端设备发送组播会话的数据,或者无线接入网设备也可以先停止第一终端设备的小数据传输,并向第一终端设备发送RRC恢复消息,用于触发第一终端设备进入RRC连接态,然后向处于RRC连接态的第一终端设备发送组播会话的数据。
又一种实现方法中,如果不满足上述第一条件、第二条件,但满足第三条件,则第一 终端设备进入RRC空闲态并触发RRC连接建立流程。该第三条件包括:上述寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,上述寻呼消息中的至少一个终端设备的标识信息包括第一终端设备的标识信息,并且第一终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中。也即,当第一终端设备不处于小数据传输过程中,但被核心网寻呼,以及还被通知有组播会话激活,则第一终端设备进入RRC空闲态并触发RRC连接建立流程,后续接收网络通过该激活的组播会话发送的数据。
一种可能的实现方法中,不管满足上述第一条件、第二条件还是第三条件,表明上述寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备加入的组播会话,因此第一终端设备可以向无线接入网设备发送指示信息,该指示信息指示上述寻呼消息中的至少一个组播会话包含第一终端设备中的某个或某些加入的组播会话,或者指示第一终端设备中的某个或某些加入的组播会话已经激活,或者指示组播业务到达,或者指示非小数据传输的无线承载上有数据和/或信令到达(arrival of data and/or signaling mapped to radio bearers not configured for SDT)。可选的,该指示信息可以携带于辅助信息(UEAssistanceInformation)中发送至无线接入网设备。可选的,该指示信息是非SDT数据指示信息(nonSDT-DataIndication)。
上述方案,根据第一终端设备发送的指示信息,无线接入网设备可以获知第一终端设备在非小数据传输的无线承载上有数据或信令到达,或者获知第一终端设备期望进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,有助于无线接入网设备判断是否要让第一终端设备恢复RRC连接态,便于后续无线接入网设备与第一终端设备之间的正确通信。比如,如果第一终端设备在收到寻呼消息后,不期望进入RRC连接态接收该寻呼消息中指示的组播会话,或已经释放了该组播会话,则第一终端设备可以不向无线接入网设备发送该指示信息,无线接入网设备就不需要让第一终端设备进入RRC连接态。
下面介绍关于终端设备是否需要监听寻呼消息的一个实施例。
一种实现方法中,处于RRC非激活态的终端设备可以根据小数据传输的状态,判断是否监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,该寻呼消息包含至少一个组播会话的标识信息,该终端设备加入了一个或多个组播会话。关于该寻呼消息的详细描述可以参考前述步骤201中的描述。该方案,终端设备根据小数据传输的状态决定监听用于组通知的寻呼消息或不监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,而不是始终监听用于组通知的寻呼消息,有助于节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
下面介绍终端设备根据小数据传输的状态判断是否监听用于组通知的寻呼消息的不同实现方法。
实现方法一,当终端设备未在进行小数据传输,则终端设备监听寻呼消息。
该方案,当处于RRC非激活态的终端设备未在进行小数据传输,表明无线接入网设备不知道终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间也没有可用的数据/信令通路,因此终端设备需要通过监听寻呼的方式,及时地判断网络侧是否发送了用于通知已经激活的组播会话的寻呼消息,以保证能够及时接收组播会话的数据。
实现方法二,当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,则终端设备不监听寻呼消息。
该方案,若终端设备当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明无线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接 态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息,因此终端设备不需要监听用于通知组播会话已经激活的寻呼消息,无需解码承载寻呼消息的PDSCH上的数据块,从而可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
针对上述实现方法二,由于终端设备正在进行小数据传输,因此终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,因此无线接入网设备可以通过该通路向终端设备发送RRC消息,该RRC消息包括至少一个组播会话的标识信息,该RRC消息用于指示至少一个组播会话已经被激活,可选的,该RRC消息还指示终端设备保持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话。当至少一个组播会话中包含终端设备加入的组播会话,终端设备在RRC非激活态下接收加入的组播会话。用于组通知的寻呼消息是广播消息,该寻呼消息是在初始(initial)带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)上发送的。若终端设备当前进行小数据传输的BWP带宽范围与initial BWP的带宽范围的总和超出终端设备支持的带宽(例如该终端设备为低能力终端设备),则终端设备不能同时进行小数据传输和接收寻呼消息。如果终端设备在小数据传输过程中要接收组寻呼,则需要将BWP切换到initial BWP上以接收组寻呼,这会导致小数据传输过程中的数据丢包。但通过上述方案,终端设备可以在小数据传输的BWP上通过专用信令(即RRC消息)接收用于通知组播会话已经激活的通知,而不是通过寻呼消息通知组播会话已经激活,因此无需进行BWP切换,可以避免丢包,以及降低终端设备的实现复杂度。
实现方法三,当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且终端设备不支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,则终端设备不监听寻呼消息。
该方案,若终端设备当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明无线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息。并且由于该终端设备不支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,因此终端设备需要进入到RRC连接态才接收组播会话的数据,进而终端设备可以不监听用于通知组播会话已经激活的寻呼消息,无需解码承载寻呼消息的PDSCH上的数据块,而是等待网络侧主动通知终端设备进入RRC连接态,因而该方案可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
实现方法四,当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,则终端设备监听寻呼消息。
若终端设备当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明无线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息,以触发终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,因此一般情况下,终端设备可以不需要监听用于通知组播会话已经激活的寻呼消息,只需要等待无线接入网设备发送的RRC恢复消息。然而,在该方案中,若终端设备正在进行小数据传输,且该终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,则该终端设备需要监听该寻呼消息,这是因为:由于终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,因而无线接入网设备可能不向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息以触发终端设备进入RRC连接态并在RRC连接态接收组播会话的数据,因此终端设备需要主动监听寻呼消息,以获知组播会话是否已经被激活,避免错过网络下发的组播会话的数据,当终端设备监听到组播会 话已经被激活,则可以在RRC非激活态下接收组播会话的数据。
实现方法五,当终端设备正在进行小数据传输,终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,且终端设备驻留的小区支持为处于非激活态的终端设备提供组播会话,则终端设备监听寻呼消息。
其中,该终端设备驻留的小区为处于非激活态的终端设备提供的组播会话,是该终端设备已经加入的组播会话。由于终端设备支持在RRC非激活态接收组播会话,且当前驻留小区支持将该组播会话发送给处于RRC非激活态的终端设备,因而无线接入网设备可能不向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息以触发终端设备进入RRC连接态并在RRC连接态接收组播会话的数据,因此终端设备需要主动监听寻呼消息,以获知组播会话是否已经被激活,避免错过网络下发的组播会话的数据。当终端设备监听到组播会话已经被激活,则可以在RRC非激活态下接收组播会话的数据。
上述方案,需要保证该终端设备驻留的小区支持为处于非激活态的终端设备提供组播会话的情况下,终端设备在监听寻呼消息,以避免终端设备做无效的监听,有助于节约不必要的能耗开销。
图3为本申请实施例提供的一种无线通信方法的流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤301,终端设备接收第一消息。
该第一消息可以是寻呼消息或RRC消息。
当第一消息是寻呼消息,该寻呼消息的具体内容和实现方式,与上述步骤201中的寻呼消息的具体内容和实现方式相同,可以参考前述描述。
当第一消息是RRC消息,该RRC消息包括至少一个组播会话的标识信息,RRC消息用于指示至少一个组播会话已经被激活,该RRC消息是一个单播消息或专用信令。
步骤302,当至少一个组播会话中包含终端设备加入的组播会话,且终端设备处于小数据传输过程中,终端设备进入RRC空闲态并触发RRC连接建立流程。
当第一消息中的至少一个组播会话中包含终端设备加入的组播会话,表明该终端设备加入的某个或某些组播会话已经激活,或者理解为网络侧有组播会话的数据需要发送给该终端设备。
上述方案,如果网络侧发送的第一消息中的至少一个组播会话包含终端设备加入的组播会话,表明网络侧有组播会话的数据需要发送给终端设备,终端设备可以向网络侧请求恢复RRC连接以接收组播会话的数据。然而,若终端设备收到寻呼消息后,当前处于小数据传输过程,则表明线接入网设备已知终端设备驻留在哪个小区上,终端设备和无线接入网设备之间存在可用的数据/信令通路,终端设备在收到寻呼消息之前已经向网络侧发送过RRC恢复请求消息,因此如果网络侧需要让终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播会话,则可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息。因此,终端设备在收到该寻呼消息之后,如果当前处于小数据传输过程,则无需再次向网络侧发送RRC恢复请求消息,而是可以直接进入RRC空闲态并触发RRC连接建立流程,从而可以实现快速进入RRC连接态并接收组播会话的数据,以及可以节约不必要的能耗开销,降低终端设备处理复杂度,降低信令开销。
由于终端设备在RRC非激活态会进行移动,如果终端设备当前接入的无线接入网设备(也称为服务接入网设备(serving gNB),接收接入网设备(receving gNB),或第一无线接入网设备)不是最后服务无线接入网设备(last serving gNB,也称为锚点接入网设备 (anchor gNB)或第二无线接入网设备),则终端设备在触发小数据传输流程后,第一无线接入网设备会执行检索终端设备上下文(retrieve UE context)流程。第一无线接入网设备向第二无线接入网设备发送检索终端设备上下文请求消息,其中指示小数据传输(SDT)请求,第二无线接入网设备决定是否重新定位终端设备上下文(UE context relocation)。
其中,最后服务无线接入网设备或锚点接入网设备,指的是终端设备进入到RRC非激活态之前,在RRC连接态最后为该终端设备提供服务的无线接入网设备或该终端设备最后接入的无线接入网设备,或者理解为,保持该终端设备与核心网之间连接的无线接入网设备。
情形一,有上下文重定位的小数据传输(SDT with UE context relocation)。
如果第二无线接入网设备决定重新定位完整的终端设备上下文,则将完整的终端设备上下文发送给第一无线接入网设备,这称为有上下文重定位的小数据传输。这种情况下,上行小数据从第一无线接入网设备发送给用户面功能(user plane funciton,UPF)网元。小数据传输结束后,第一无线接入网设备可以向终端设备发送RRC释放(RRCRelease)消息,将终端设备释放到RRC非激活态或RRC空闲态。如果小数据传输过程中有下行非小数据/信令到达,或上行非小数据到达,第一无线接入网设备可以向终端设备发送RRC恢复(RRCResume)消息让终端设备回到RRC连接态。
情形二,无上下文重定位的小数据传输(SDT without UE context relocation)。
如果第二无线接入网设备决定不重新定位完整的终端设备上下文,则向第一无线接入网设备发送部分终端设备上下文(partial UE context),其中包含处理小数据传输所需的SDT无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)上下文信息,这称为无上下文重定位的小数据传输。第二无线接入网设备保持分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)实体,而第一无线接入网设备会建立SDT相关的RLC上下文,将小数据/信令转发给第二无线接入网设备,然后由第二无线接入网设备发送给核心网。
下面结合图3(a)至图3(e)的实施例,介绍当终端设备在RRC非激活态下进行小数据传输时,如果该终端设备加入的某个或某些组播会话被激活,也即有组播业务需要传输,如何定义终端设备、第一无线接入网设备以及第二无线接入网设备的行为。其中,以下图3(a)至图3(e)的实施例是针对上述情形二,以下图3(f)是针对上述情形一。
需要说明的是,以下图3(a)至图3(f)的实施例均可以独立实施,也可以去前述图2或图3实施例相结合实施例,本申请对此不限定。
图3(a)为本申请实施例提供的一种无线通信方法的流程示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤301a,第一终端设备向第一无线接入网设备发送RRC恢复请求消息。
该RRC恢复请求消息用于触发小数据传输(SDT)。
比如,该RRC恢复请求消息承载在第一终端设备发送的随机接入消息3(MSG3)或随机接入消息A(MSGA)中。
需要说明的是,该RRC恢复请求消息的名称也可以发生变化,比如称为RRC消息、RRC请求消息等。
该第一终端设备支持在RRC非激活态下接收组播业务,且该第一终端设备加入了一个或多个组播会话。本申请中的组播会话、组播业务、组播在一些地方可以相互替换,其表示相同含义。
步骤302a,第一无线接入网设备向第二无线接入网设备发送上下文请求消息。
该上下文请求消息也称为检索UE上下文请求(RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT REQUEST)消息、上下文检索请求消息或检索请求消息等。这里做统一说明,后面不再赘述。
该上下文请求消息用于请求获取该第一终端设备的小数据传输相关的上下文,也称为小数据传输上下文。
步骤303a,第二无线接入网设备向第一无线接入网设备发送该第一终端设备的部分上下文(PARTIAL UE CONTEXT)。
所述部分上下文包括用于小数据传输的上下文(SDT related context)。
该第一终端设备的小数据传输上下文是该第一终端设备的终端设备上下文中的部分内容,该第一终端设备的终端设备上下文也称为该第一终端设备的完整上下文(full UE context)。
示例性的,所述部分上下文携带在部分上下文传输(PARTIAL UE CONTEXT TRANSTER)消息中发送至第一无线接入网设备。
步骤304a,第一无线接入网设备收到第一寻呼消息。
该第一寻呼消息来自第二无线接入网设备或核心网设备。示例性地,如果该第一寻呼消息来自第二无线接入网设备,该第一寻呼消息也可以称为RAN多播组寻呼(RAN multicast group paging)消息。示例性地,如果该第一寻呼消息来自接入与移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元,该第一寻呼消息也可以称为多播组寻呼(multicast group paging)消息。这里做统一说明,后续不赘述。
该第一寻呼消息中包括一个或多个组播会话的标识,该第一寻呼消息用于通知一个或多个组播会话激活。可选的,该第一寻呼消息还包括用于寻呼终端设备的信息,可以是发送寻呼的位置,也可以是用于确定发送寻呼位置的信息或用于确定寻呼时机(paging occasion)的信息,该用于寻呼终端设备的信息是根据加入该至少一个组播会话的终端设备的标识确定的。示例性的,该用于寻呼终端设备的信息为终端设备的标识5G-S-TMSI对1024取模后的值。
步骤305a,第一无线接入网设备发送第二寻呼消息。
该第二寻呼消息是根据第一寻呼消息得到的。该第二寻呼消息指示至少一个组播会话激活。也即指示至少一个组播会话处于激活状态或为激活状态,或指示至少一个组播会话从非激活状态转化为激活状态,这里统一说明,后面不赘述。该至少一个组播会话可以与第一寻呼消息中的一个或多个组播会话相同,或者是第一寻呼消息中的一个或多个组播会话的子集。在另一种实现方法中,第一无线接入网设备可以从第二无线接入网设备接收一个第一寻呼消息,以及从核心网设备接收另一个第一寻呼消息,然后分别从该两个第一寻呼消息中获取部分组播会话的标识,并根据获取到的组播会话的标识生成第二寻呼消息。
一种可能的方式中,第二寻呼消息还用于指示处于RRC连接态的终端设备接收该至少一个组播会话。也即处于RRC连接态的终端设备可以接收该至少一个组播会话,处于RRC非连接态的终端设备不能接收该至少一个组播会话。或者也可以理解为:该至少一个组播会话是为RRC连接态的终端设备提供的组播会话。或者也可以理解为:该至少一个组播会话是终端设备在RRC连接态接收的组播会话。示例性地,第二寻呼消息包括第一组播会话标识列表,该第一组播会话标识列表指示至少一个激活的组播会话的标识,该第一组播会话标识列表指示的组播会话是在RRC连接态接收的组播会话。
又一种可能的方式中,第二寻呼消息还用于指示该至少一个组播会话为处于RRC连 接态或RRC非连接态终端设备接收的组播会话。也即第二寻呼消息还指示了该至少一个组播会话中的每个组播会话是由终端设备在RRC连接态接收,还是由终端设备在非RRC连接态接收。示例性地,第二寻呼消息包括第二组播会话标识列表,该第二组播会话标识列表包括至少一个激活的组播会话的标识以及每个组播会话对应的指示信息,该指示信息用于指示该组播会话为RRC连接态或RRC非连接态接收的组播会话,RRC非连接态可以为RRC非激活态和/或RRC空闲态。比如以指示信息是1比特信息为例,当指示信息为1表示组播会话为RRC连接态接收的组播会话,当指示信息为0表示组播会话为非RRC连接态接收的组播会话。假设第二组播会话标识列表包括组播会话1的标识、组播会话2的标识、组播会话1对应的指示信息以及组播会话2对应的指示信息,且组播会话1对应的指示信息为0,组播会话2对应的指示信息为1,因此组播会话1由处于非RRC连接态的终端设备接收,组播会话2由处于RRC连接态的终端设备接收。此外,还可以用是否包含指示信息来指示组播会话为RRC连接态或RRC非连接态接收的组播会话,比如当第二组播会话标识列表中包含组播会话1的标识以及包括该组播会话1对应的指示信息,则表示该组播会话1为非RRC连接态接收的组播会话;当第二组播会话标识列表中包含组播会话1的标识,则表示该组播会话1为RRC连接态接收的组播会话。
由于第一无线接入网设备没有完整的终端设备上下文,第一无线接入网设备收到第一寻呼消息后,并不知道哪个终端设备加入或想要接收该第一寻呼消息中指示的激活的组播会话。因此,第一无线接入网设备可以通过发送第一寻呼消息来通知终端设备组播会话激活,当第二寻呼消息中包括用于寻呼终端设备的信息(例如用于确定寻呼时机的信息)时,第一无线接入网设备根据第二寻呼消息确定发送第一寻呼消息的位置;当第二寻呼消息中不包括用于寻呼终端设备的信息时,第一无线接入网设备在至少一个默认寻呼周期的所有寻呼时机(paging occasion)上发送第一寻呼消息。
这种场景下,当第一无线接入网设备期望终端设备进入RRC连接态接收上述激活的组播会话时,由于第一无线接入网设备不能确定SDT过程中的终端设备是加入或想要接收激活的组播会话的终端设备,因此不能直接向终端设备发送RRC恢复消息指示终端设备进入RRC连接态。此处,终端设备和/或第一无线接入网设备可以支持RRC非激活态的组播,也可以仅支持RRC连接态的组播,本发明不限定。
步骤306a,第一终端设备向第一无线接入网设备发送指示信息。
第一终端设备监听寻呼,如果收到第二寻呼消息,且上述第二寻呼消息指示第一终端设备加入的至少一个组播会话激活,则向第一无线接入网设备发送指示信息,该指示信息包括指示非小数据传输数据指示,和/或组播原因值。其中,组播原因值也称为组播的原因值,或组播相关的原因值,组播原因值也可以理解为与组播相关的RRC恢复原因值。
具体的,非小数据传输数据指示(nonSDT-DataIndication),用于指示在小数据传输过程中,非小数据传输的无线承载上有数据和/或信令到达。上述数据和/或信令到达可以理解为有上行数据和/或信令到达或即将到达该第一终端设备,也可以理解为有下行数据和/或信令到达或即将到达该第一终端设备。
具体的,该组播原因值可以指示上述至少一个组播会话中包含该第一终端设备加入的组播会话,或者该第一终端设备加入的组播会话激活,或者第一终端设备进入RRC连接态接收组播。该组播原因值也可以为组播相关的接入类型,例如MBS-access。
示例性地,该指示信息可以为用户辅助信息(UE assistant information,UAI)中,或 者是承载在UAI中的信息。
第一终端设备处于SDT过程。
