Detailed Description
The inventor notices in the process of invention that:
in order to reduce the interface establishment process and reduce the interface protocol design work, a fixed communication interface and a communication path are arranged between the traditional network elements, and an interface is not defined between any two network elements, which results in complex communication flow and large time delay.
Taking the positioning process as an example, there is no direct interface between the gNB (NR node, NR NodeB; NR: 5G New Radio) and the LMF (Location Management Function), and the Location estimation needs to be transferred through the AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function), which results in a longer time delay for obtaining the Location estimation.
Taking an example that an LCS (LoCation Services) client initiates a target UE (User Equipment) positioning request, a UE positioning request message reaches an LMF through an AMF (advanced metering framework), the LMF needs to negotiate measurement related configuration with a gNB through the AMF, the LMF forwards configuration information to the UE through the AMF and the gNB for measurement, the UE reports a measurement result to the LMF through the gNB and the AMF, and the LMF returns a position estimation to the LCS client after calculation.
The traditional network elements have fixed communication interfaces and communication paths, which results in complex communication flow. Although the core network has simplified the interaction flow inside the core network through the service design, the interaction between the base station and the network elements of the core network still needs to pass through the AMF, and the relevant information is forwarded to other network elements of the core network by the AMF, or other network elements of the core network still need to communicate with the base station through the AMF.
Considering that the transmission delay is increased by 10-20ms every time data is forwarded through one network element, the transmission delay caused by a complex communication flow cannot meet the strict delay requirement of the vertical industry on positioning. For example, the positioning acquisition delay is required to be less than 500ms in the vertical industries such as the internet of vehicles and intelligent factories, and the positioning acquisition delay includes the essential measurement time overhead and the position calculation time overhead in addition to the delay caused by the communication flow.
Based on this, in order to reduce the communication delay between the base station and the core network element, the invention provides a communication scheme in which the connection between the base station and the core network element is opened through a service interface, so that the base station can directly communicate with the relevant core network node, and an unnecessary signaling interaction process is avoided, thereby reducing the communication delay. In addition, the structure of the base station is further modularized, so that the processes sequentially executed in the original base station can be executed in parallel, and the data processing time delay is further reduced.
The following describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

The following description will be made by taking a positioning service and a multicast broadcast service as examples.
Example one
The present example will be explained with a hybrid positioning procedure.
Hybrid positioning, i.e., a combination of multiple positioning techniques, is used to provide higher accuracy positioning. Available positioning methods include: network-assisted GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), OTDOA (Observed Time Difference Of Arrival) positioning, E-CID (Enhanced Cell ID-based positioning method), UTDOA (Uplink Time Difference Of Arrival) positioning, WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) positioning, bluetooth positioning, sensor-based positioning, SUPL (Secure User Plane positioning), and the like.
In implementation, the service request is a location service request;
the core network function module is LMF;
the access network function module is one or the combination of the following modules: AMM, CGM, UPE.
In specific implementation, the following may be used:
if the positioning method is network-assisted GNSS positioning, the LMF and the AMM or UPE are communicated to carry out information interaction;
if the positioning method is OTDOA or UTDOA positioning, the LMF and the CGM carry out information interaction;
if the positioning method is a method for enhancing the cell ID, the LMF and the AMM are communicated to carry out information interaction;
if the positioning method is WLAN positioning or Bluetooth positioning or sensor-based positioning, the LMF and the AMM or the UPE carry out information interaction;
and if the positioning method is SUPL, the LMF and the UPE communicate to carry out information interaction.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a positioning implementation process, which may include:
step 301, receiving a location service request.
An LMF (Location Management Function) receives a Location request from a core network Function (such as an access and mobility Management Function, AMF), or a Location service client, or an access network Function, or a UE, where the request message carries a Location accuracy requirement, and may also carry information such as a cell ID where the UE is currently located, a Location time requirement, a Location method proposal, a Location period proposal, and the like;
and step 302, the LMF determines an adopted positioning method combination scheme based on the received information.
1) The adopted positioning methods are different, and the access network functions of LMFs needing communication are also different:
if the GNSS positioning is assisted by the network, the LMF needs to communicate with the AMM or UPE; that is, network-assisted GNSS assistance information needs to be sent to the UE via AMM or UPE.
If the location is OTDOA or UTDOA, the LMF needs to communicate with the CGM; that is, the transmission point or cell participating in the OTDOA or UTDOA positioning this time is determined by the CGM. For the OTDOA condition, the CGM needs to send the determination result to the UE through the AMM; for the UTDOA case, this step is not present.
If the method is an enhanced cell ID method (E-CID), the LMF needs to communicate with the AMM; that is, the LMF needs to inform the AMM whether it needs to assist in acquiring the TA and/or AOA.
If the LMF is WLAN positioning or Bluetooth positioning or sensor-based positioning, the LMF needs to communicate with the AMM or UPE; that is, WLAN positioning or bluetooth positioning or sensor-based positioning measurement configuration needs to be sent to the UE through AMM or UPE.
If the location is SUPL, the LMF needs to communicate with the UPE; that is, configuration information or assistance information of network assisted GNSS positioning, OTDOA or UTDOA positioning, E-CID, WLAN positioning, bluetooth positioning, sensor based positioning needs to be sent to the UE through UPE.
2) The requirements of positioning accuracy, positioning period, positioning duration and the like are different, and the determined positioning combination schemes are also different.
Step 303a, initiating a location measurement configuration (SUPL or WLAN or bluetooth or sensor or AGNSS) to the UPF;
step 303b, initiating positioning measurement configuration (OTDOA or UTDOA) to the CGM;
step 303c, initiate a positioning measurement configuration (E-CID or WLAN or bluetooth or sensor or AGNSS) to AMM.
Specifically, the LMF sends configuration information to the network function of the relevant access network based on the determined positioning method combination scheme. The configuration information may include requirements such as positioning accuracy, positioning period, positioning duration, and the like. The steps 303a, 303b and 303c may be initiated simultaneously as required, i.e. the LMF communicates with the AMM, CGM and UPE simultaneously.
Step 304, the UE or the LMF performs location estimation based on the measurement results.
And step 305, reporting the measurement result.
And step 306, position estimation is carried out.
Example two:
in this example, an implementation of an MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service) Multicast Broadcast flow will be described.
In the implementation, the service request is a multicast broadcast service request;
the core network functional module is BM-SC;
the access network function module is one or the combination of the following modules: RSM, CGM, AMM.
In specific implementation, the following may be used:
BM-SC sends a message carrying at least multicast or broadcast QoS requirements to RSM;
the BM-SC sends a message to the CGM carrying at least the multicast or broadcast area requirements and/or the multicast or broadcast frequency resource requirements.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of an implementation of a multicast broadcast service, which may include:
step 1, the content provider sends a multicast broadcast service request to a multicast broadcast control node BM-SC.
The content provider sends a Multicast Broadcast service request to a Multicast Broadcast Control node BM-SC (Multicast Broadcast Control Function), where the request message may carry information about Multicast or Broadcast area requirements, Multicast or Broadcast QoS requirements (such as reliability requirements, transmission rate requirements, transmission delay requirements, etc.), Multicast or Broadcast frequency resource requirements, and the like.
BM-SC sends request message of multicast or broadcast service to function of access network based on request message of multicast broadcast service, and receives response message of these functions of access network.
The messages sent by the BM-SC to the RSM in steps 2a-2b at least carry multicast or broadcast QoS requirements (such as reliability requirements, transmission rate requirements, transmission delay requirements, etc.), and the RSM determines whether to start HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) retransmission for multicast or broadcast, whether to start repeat transmission of data packets, whether to establish multiple data bearers for multicast or broadcast services, and whether to send the multicast or broadcast service data through multiple RSEs based on the requirements.
The message sent by the BM-SC to the CGM in steps 3a-3b at least carries multicast or broadcast area requirements (e.g. geographical location, mobility of UE, etc. that want to receive the multicast or broadcast service), multicast or broadcast frequency resource requirements, and the CGM determines the cell, frequency point, beam, BWP (partial Bandwidth, Bandwidth part) or periodic isochronous frequency resource, and Group RNTI (Group RNTI; Radio Network Temporary Identifier, Radio Network Temporary Identifier) for the multicast or broadcast based on the received message content.
Steps 2a-2b and steps 3a-3b may be performed simultaneously, as desired.
And 4, the BM-SC requests the AMM to send the final multicast or broadcast configuration information to the UE.
Step 5, the BM-SC requests the AMM to send the final multicast or broadcast configuration information to the content provider.
And 6, the AMM sends the final multicast or broadcast configuration information to the UE.
Step 7-step 10, MBMS data transmission.
In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a wireless network architecture, network functions, and related processes for operating the same.
In the scheme, the connection between the base station and the core network element is opened through the service interface, so that the base station can directly communicate with the relevant core network node, unnecessary signaling interaction processes are avoided, and the communication time delay is reduced. In addition, the structure of the base station is further modularized, so that the original serial execution flow in the base station can be executed in parallel, and the data processing time delay is further reduced.
