The following is a description by way of some application examples.
Application example 1
As shown in fig. 5, the first message is used to request cell establishment for illustration.
In step 401, the DU sends F1 setup request message to the CU requesting cell setup.
The cells on the DU and CU can support NSA, SA, and NSA and SA 3 network modes.
When the cell is newly created, the DU sends F1 setup request to the CU.
F1 establishes a request carrying NCGI cell id and supported NSA, or SA networking id information, a supported PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) list, a supported Network slice list, etc.
The DU and CU may interact with F1 setup request signaling flow through F1 interface.
The F1setup request includes: f1SETUP REQUEST (F1 SETUP REQUEST).
In step 402, the CU sends an endec X2setup request to the eNB.
The CU and eNB may interact with the cell establishment procedure through the X2 interface.
And when the F1 establishment request carries NSA supported by each cell, the CU sends an ENDC X2 establishment request to the eNB.
The endec X2 establishes a request to carry a list of supported PLMNs for each logical cell.
The endec X2setup request signaling includes: endec X2SETUP REQUEST message.
In step 403, the eNB sends an endec X2setup response to the CU.
The eNB establishing the request response signaling in response to the endec X2 includes: ENDC X2SETUP RESPONSE, EN-DC X2SETUP FAILURE messages.
In step 404, the CU decides whether the cell supports NSA.
When the eNB responds to the EN-DC X2SETUP FAILUR message, the NSA establishment failure of the cell does not support NSA.
When the eNB responds to the endec X2SETUP RESPONSE message, the cell NSA establishes normal support NSA.
When the eNB has no X2 interface with the CU, the cell does not support NSA.
In step 405, the CU sends an NG setup request to the AMF.
And when the cell establishment request message carries the SA supported by each cell, the CU sends an NG establishment request message to the AMF.
The NG setup request message includes: NG SETUP REQUEST message.
In step 406, the AMF sends an NG setup request response to the CU.
NG setup request signaling includes: NG SETUP RESPONSE, NG SETUP FAILURE messages.
In step 407, the CU decides whether the cell supports SA.
When AMF responds to NG SETUP RESPONSE, the cell supports the PLMN list and the network slice list and the AMF supports the PLMN list and the network slice list to have intersection, otherwise the cell does not support the SA.
When AMF responds to NG SETUP FAILURE, the cell does not support SA.
When CU and AMF NG fail, the cell does not support SA.
In step 408, the CU sends a cell setup request response to the DU.
When the CU judges that the cell supports NSA and SA, the activated NCGI is carried in the cell establishment request response message and the NSA and SA identification are simultaneously supported.
When the CU judges that the cell supports NSA, the activated NCGI and the NSA simultaneously supported identification are carried in the cell establishment request response message.
And when the CU judges that the cell supports the SA, carrying the activated NCGI and the simultaneous support SA identifier in the cell establishment request response message.
The CU response DU setup request response signaling includes: f1SETUP RESPONSE message.
In step 409, the DU cell broadcasts notification NSA and/or SA information.
When the CU notifies that the DU cell supports the SA, the DU cell broadcasts an SIB1(System Information Block 1) message to notify the terminal of carrying the supported SA identifier.
When the CU notifies the DU cell that NSA is supported, the SIB1 message of the DU cell broadcast informs the terminal that NSA is supported, and the SIB1 may not be sent.
When the CU informs the DU cell that both NSA and SA are supported, the DU cell broadcasts SIB1 message to inform the terminal that the NSA and SA are supported.
And when the CU informs that the DU cell does not support NSA and SA, the cell signal is closed.
Application example two
As shown in fig. 6, the first message is used to request cell parameter update.
In step 501, the DU sends a DU configuration update message to the CU to request cell parameter update.
The cells on the DU and CU can support NSA, SA, and NSA and SA 3 network modes.
And when a cell is newly built or cell parameters are updated, the DU sends a DU configuration update message to the CU.
The DU configuration update message carries the NCGI cell id and the supported NSA, or SA networking id information, the supported PLMN list, the supported network slice list, and the like.
And the DU and the CU can perform DU configuration update signaling flow interaction through an F1 interface.
The DU configuration update signaling includes: GNB-DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE (DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE).
In step 502, the CU sends an endec X2 update request to the eNB.
The CU and eNB may interact with the update signaling flow through the X2 interface.
And when the DU configuration update message carries NSA supported by each cell, the CU sends an ENDC X2 update request to the eNB.
The ENDC X2 update request carries the list of each cell supported PLMNs.
The endec X2 update request signaling includes: an EN-DC CONFIGURATION UPDATE message.
In step 503, the eNB sends an endec X2 update response to the CU.
The eNB response to the endx 2 update request response signaling includes: EN-DC CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACK, EN-DC CONFIGURATION UPDATE FAILURE message.
In step 504, the CU decides whether the cell supports NSA.
When the eNB responds to the EN-DC CONFIGURATION UPDATE FAILURE message, the NSA of the cell fails to UPDATE and does not support NSA.
And when the eNB responds to the EN-DC CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACK message, the NSA of the cell UPDATEs the normally supported NSA.
When the eNB has no X2 interface with the CU, the cell does not support NSA.
In step 505, the CU sends an NG update request to the AMF.
And when the update request message carries the SA supported by each cell, the CU sends the update request message to the AMF.
The update request message includes: RAN CONFIGURATION UPDATE message.
At step 506, the AMF sends an update request response to the CU.
The update request signaling includes: RAN CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACK message.
In step 507, the CU decides whether the cell supports SA.
When the AMF responds to RAN CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACK, the cell support PLMN list and the network slice list have intersection with the AMF support PLMN list and the network slice list, and the cell supports SA, otherwise, the cell does not support SA.
When CU and AMF NG fail, the cell does not support SA.
In step 508, the CU sends a cell update request response to the DU.
When the CU judges that the cell supports NSA and SA, the activated NCGI is carried in the cell updating request response message and the NSA and SA identification are simultaneously supported.
When the CU judges that the cell supports NSA, the activated NCGI and the NSA simultaneously supported identification are carried in the cell updating request response message.
And when the CU judges that the cell supports the SA, carrying the activated NCGI and the simultaneous support SA identifier in a cell updating request response message.
The CU response DU update request response signaling includes: GNB-CU CONFIGURATION UPDATE message.
In step 509, the DU cell broadcasts notification NSA and/or SA information.
When the CU notifies the DU cell that the SA is supported, the DU cell broadcasts an SIB1 message to notify the terminal that the SA identification is supported.
When the CU notifies the DU cell that NSA is supported, the SIB1 message of the DU cell broadcast informs the terminal that NSA is supported, and the SIB1 may not be sent.
When the CU informs the DU cell that both NSA and SA are supported, the DU cell broadcasts SIB1 message to inform the terminal that the NSA and SA are supported.
And when the CU informs that the DU cell does not support NSA and SA, the cell signal is closed.
Application example three
As shown in fig. 7, the first message is used to request the cell to quit service (or quit service for short).
Step 601, when the DU executes the cell out-of-service operation, the DU sends a DU configuration update message to the CU to indicate the cell out-of-service.
The DU sends DU configuration update message to CU to carry cell resignation, which may be NSA cell resignation, SA cell resignation, or NSA and SA cell resignation.
And the DU sends a DU configuration updating message to the CU, wherein the DU configuration updating message carries the NCGI identification and the NSA and SA identification of the quit service cell.
The sending, by the DU, the DU configuration update signaling to the CU includes: GNB-DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE message.
In step 602, the CU sends a CU configuration update message to the DU indicating cell blocking.
The indicated cell block may be an NSA cell, an SA cell, or a cell of both NSA and SA.
The CU sends a CU configuration update message to the DU, wherein the NCGI identification and the NSA and SA identification of the cell are carried in the CU configuration update message.
Sending, by the CU, the CU configuration update signaling to the DU includes: GNB-CU CONFIGURATION UPDATE.
Step 603, the DU cell broadcasts and notifies the terminal blocking information, indicating that the terminal is prohibited from accessing.
When the CU notifies the DU of the SA cell blocking, the DU broadcasts the SA cell indication to forbid the new terminal from accessing.
When the CU informs the DU of blocking the NSA cell, the DU broadcasts the NSA cell indication to forbid the new terminal from accessing.
When the CU informs the DU of blocking NSA and SA cells, the DU broadcasts SA and NSA cell instructions to forbid the new terminal from accessing.
In step 604, the DU sends a CU configuration update confirm message to the CU.
Sending, by the DU, a CU configuration update confirmation message to the CU includes: GNB-CU CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACKNOWLEDGE message.
And step 605, the CU quits the service of the cell migration online terminal.
And for the SA cell out of service, migrating the online terminal through the switching/redirecting/releasing terminal.
And for the NSA cell quit, releasing and migrating the online terminal through the Pscell change/SN change/SN.
For SA and NSA cell quit, migrating the on-line SA terminal by switching/redirecting/releasing the terminal; and releasing and migrating the online NSA terminal through the Pscell change/SN change/SN.
In step 606, the CU sends a cell deactivation notification message to the DU.
The CU sending the cell deactivation notification flow signaling to the DU includes: GNB-CU CONFIGURATION UPDATE, GNB-CU CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACKNOWLEDGE messages.
The deactivated cell signaling carries the NCGI identity and the NSA and SA identities of the cell.
In step 607, the DU notifies the terminal.
The cell is in an SA network mode, and for SA cell deactivation, cell radio frequency signals are turned off.
The cell is in an NSA network mode, and for the deactivation of the NSA cell, the radio frequency signal of the cell is closed.
The cells are in SA and NSA network modes, and for SA cell deactivation, the terminal is informed in a broadcast mode and the SA network mode of the cell is indicated to be unavailable.
The cells are in SA and NSA network mode, and for NSA cell deactivation, the terminal is broadcasted to indicate that the cell NSA network mode is not available.
In this example, the message that is broadcast to notify the terminal includes a SIB1 message.
As can be seen from the above application example, in the flows of NR side cell establishment/update/fallback, the CU determines the support situations of SA and NSA, the CU notifies the SA & & NSA information supported by the DU cell, the DU cell broadcasts the SA & & NSA information to the terminal, when the SA terminal initiates a voice call, the terminal selects to access to the base station cell supporting SA according to the SA & & NSA information carried in the broadcast, thereby avoiding the call failure caused by the terminal accessing to the base station cell which cannot provide the SA service, improving the call completing rate, and improving the user experience effect.
