The transmission method and the device based on the flow control feedback provided by the embodiment of the application are described in detail below by means of some embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 2, the embodiment of the present application provides a transmission method 200 based on flow control feedback, which may be performed by the first IAB node, in other words, the method may be performed by software or hardware installed in the first IAB node, and the method includes the following steps.
S202: the first IAB node receives a flow control feedback message from the second IAB node, wherein the flow control feedback message is used for indicating data transmission information corresponding to the first BAP routing path.
In this embodiment, in the case where the data transmitted through the first BAP routing path is downlink data, the first IAB node is a parent node of the second IAB node; in the case where data transmitted through the first BAP routing path is uplink data, the second IAB node is a parent node of the first IAB node.
The flow control feedback message may include an available buffer size corresponding to the first BAP routing path and an identification (BAP routing ID) of the first BAP routing path.
S204: and under the condition that the flow control feedback message meets the rerouting trigger condition, the first IAB node selects a second BAP routing path from the alternative BAP routing paths, wherein the second BAP routing path is the same as the next hop IAB node of the first BAP routing path at the first IAB node.
The second BAP routing path selected in this step is an alternate BAP routing path to the first BAP routing path and the second BAP routing path is the same as a next hop IAB node of the first BAP routing path at the first IAB node, which may be a second IAB node.
Optionally, the flow control feedback message includes an available buffer size corresponding to the first BAP route path; the rerouting triggering condition met by the flow control feedback message comprises: the available buffer size is less than or equal to a first threshold, which may be configured by a network side device or an IAB host node, or agreed upon by a protocol. In this example, for example, the first threshold is 10% and the available buffer size corresponding to the first BAP route path is 5%, and the condition for triggering rerouting is satisfied.
Optionally, the second BAP routing path satisfies at least one of: 1) The destination node of the second BAP route path is the same as the destination node of the first BAP route path; 2) The data transmission corresponding to the second BAP route path is in an available state (available state), and the available state may also be called as a non-congestion state.
In this embodiment, an IAB node, such as a first IAB node, that receives the flow control feedback message may determine, according to the available buffer size of each BAP routing path carried in the received flow control feedback message and a first threshold preconfigured to the first IAB node, a BAP routing path in an available state (available). For example, if the available buffer size of the second BAP routing path is greater than the first threshold, the data transmission corresponding to the second BAP routing path is in an available state.
S206: and transmitting the data on the first BAP routing path through the second BAP routing path.
Optionally, before this step, the first IAB node may further perform a BAP header rewrite operation (BAP header rewriting) on the data, and then may perform S206 to transmit the data on the first BAP routing path through the second BAP routing path.
According to the transmission method based on the flow control feedback, the first IAB node receives the flow control feedback information from the second IAB node, if the flow control feedback information meets the heavy route triggering condition, the second BAP route path can be selected from the replaceable BAP route paths, the second BAP route path is the same as the next-hop IAB node of the first BAP route path at the first IAB node, and data on the first BAP route path is transmitted through the second BAP route path, so that when data transmission congestion occurs, transmission path switching is rapidly achieved. According to the transmission method based on the flow control feedback, the IAB node with one outlet link can execute rerouting operation, so that the problem of data congestion is relieved or solved through data rerouting, and the communication efficiency is improved.
Alternatively, the first IAB node mentioned in the previous embodiments may have only one egress link (egress link). In this embodiment, the first IAB node with one egress link may perform a BAP header rewrite operation on the data, and may not use another link (because only one egress link) but use the same link to transmit, and may shunt the transmission after transmitting to the next-hop IAB node.
In this embodiment, for example, the first IAB node receives, under a single egress link, a flow control feedback (flow control feedback, abbreviated FC) message sent by a second IAB node (which is a child node if DL and a parent node if UL); if the flow control feedback message meets the condition of triggering rerouting, the first IAB node performs the following operations: for a congested BAP routing ID (i.e., first BAP routing path), an alternate BAP routing ID (i.e., first BAP routing path) on the same link (link) is found from the BAP header overwrite configuration (BAP header rewriting configuration) and BAP header rewriting is then submitted to the next hop IAB node over the same link.
It should be noted that, the BAP routing path and the BAP routing ID in the embodiments of the present application may represent the same meaning.
Optionally, in parallel with the above embodiments, the first IAB node mentioned in the foregoing embodiments may further have a plurality of egress links; wherein the first IAB node selects a second BAP routing path from the alternative BAP routing paths, including: the first IAB node preferentially selects an alternative BAP routing path as the second BAP routing path, the alternative BAP routing path being the same as a next hop IAB node of the first BAP routing path at the first IAB node.
In the downlink transmission, the number of the plurality of egress links of the first IAB node may be greater than or equal to 2; in the uplink transmission, the number of the plurality of egress links of the first IAB node may be 2. I.e. one IAB node may serve multiple IAB nodes downstream, but typically 2 IAB nodes are connected upstream at most.
In this embodiment, when the first IAB node with multiple egress links performs data rerouting, the same alternative BAP routing ID as the original (original) BAP routing ID next-hop IAB node is preferentially selected, i.e., 2 BAP routing IDs are respectively identified by ID1 and ID2 on the egress link1, and when ID1 is congested, ID2 is preferentially selected instead of the BAP routing ID on the egress link 2. In other examples, when the "alternate BAP routing ID" is configured on the network side, the BAP routing ID of the same link is typically configured to be the highest priority, i.e., higher than the BAP routing IDs of other links.
In a specific example, in a case where the first IAB node has a plurality of egress links, the plurality of egress links includes a first egress link and a second egress link, the first BAP routing path is configured with a plurality of alternative BAP routing paths, the first egress link is a link between the first IAB node and the second IAB node, and the second IAB node is a next-hop IAB node of the first BAP routing path at the first IAB node; wherein the priority of the alternative BAP routing path through the first egress link is higher than the priority of the alternative BAP routing path through the second egress link.
Optionally, various embodiments of the present application may further include the following steps: the first IAB node sends a first indication to the second IAB node; wherein the first indication is for instructing the first IAB node to initiate a reroute to the first BAP routing path such that a second IAB node may no longer initiate a reroute to the first BAP routing path.
In other embodiments, if the first IAB node does not transmit data on the first BAP routing path through the second BAP routing path, i.e., whether the data on the first BAP routing path is transmitted through the first BAP routing path, the first IAB node may further send an indication information to the second IAB node; the indication information is used to indicate that the first IAB node does not start rerouting to the first BAP routing path, so that the second IAB node may start rerouting to the first BAP routing path, and specifically, refer to the embodiment shown in fig. 3, which is beneficial to reducing or avoiding data congestion and improving communication efficiency.
The transmission method based on the flow control feedback according to the embodiment of the present application is described in detail above in connection with fig. 2. A transmission method based on the flow control feedback according to another embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of an implementation of a transmission method based on flow control feedback according to an embodiment of the present application, which may be applied to a second IAB node. As shown in fig. 3, the method 300 includes the following steps.
S302: the second IAB node starts the rerouting of the first communication path under the condition that the first condition is met; wherein the first condition includes at least one of: triggering to send a flow control feedback message to a first IAB node, wherein the data buffer size of the first communication path is larger than or equal to a first threshold; triggering to send a flow control feedback message to the first IAB node; triggering the first IAB node to send the flow control feedback message, wherein the first IAB node does not start the rerouting of the first communication path.
Optionally, as an embodiment, the first communication path includes a BAP routing path or a BH radio link control (Radio Link Control, RLC) channel.
In this embodiment, in the case where the data transmitted through the first communication path is downlink data, the first IAB node is a parent node of the second IAB node; in the case where the data transmitted through the first communication path is uplink data, the second IAB node is a parent node of the first IAB node.
According to the transmission method based on the flow control feedback, the second IAB node can start rerouting of the first communication path under the condition that the first condition is met, so that the problem of data congestion is relieved or solved through data rerouting, and the communication efficiency is improved.
In this embodiment, after the second IAB node (e.g., a child node) sends the flow control feedback message, it is determined whether to trigger rerouting, for example, when the second IAB node triggering the flow control feedback message satisfies the first condition, the rerouting operation may also be started. The first condition includes at least one of the following 1) to 3):
1) The data buffer size (buffer size) of the second IAB node that triggers the flow control feedback message meets a certain pre-configured first threshold (percentage or specific value, etc.), which may be configured for each (per) BH RLC CH or may be configured for each BAP routing ID.
2) The second IAB node triggers the sending of the flow control feedback message to the first IAB node.
3) After the second IAB node triggers sending the flow control feedback message to the first IAB node, waiting for a rerouting instruction (i.e., a second instruction) of the first IAB node, and if the second instruction indicates that the first IAB node does not start the rerouting, if the second IAB node meets the condition, starting the rerouting of the first communication path. This example can minimize the number of IAB nodes that initiate rerouting operations.
Optionally, as an embodiment, the method further includes: the second IAB node receives a second indication from the first IAB node indicating whether the first IAB node is to turn on a reroute of the first communication path. For example, this embodiment may define a new BAP control (control) PDU, with a new PDU type value to indicate whether the first IAB node is to initiate a reroute operation; and after the first IAB node receives the flow control feedback message, feeding back whether the first IAB node can perform rerouting operation to a second IAB node triggering the flow control feedback message through the BAP control PDU. The embodiment can avoid the problem of transmission confusion caused by that the child IAB node and the father IAB node execute rerouting simultaneously aiming at the first communication path, and improve the communication effectiveness.
Optionally, as an embodiment, the method further includes: under the condition of triggering or sending the flow control message, the second IAB node starts a first timer; if the first timer expires, determining that the first IAB node does not initiate a reroute of the first communication path if the second IAB node does not receive a second indication from the first IAB node; wherein the second indication is for indicating whether the first IAB node initiates a rerouting of the first communication path. For example, the second IAB node that triggers the flow control feedback message may maintain a first timer "waiting for a reroute indication," which is started after triggering or sending the flow control feedback message, and if the first timer expires without receiving the BAP control PDU, it indicates that the first IAB node does not start a reroute, and the second IAB node may start a reroute for the first communication path. The embodiment can avoid the problem of transmission confusion caused by that the child IAB node and the father IAB node execute rerouting simultaneously aiming at the first communication path, and improve the communication effectiveness.
Optionally, as an embodiment, the second indication is carried by a BAP protocol data unit (Protocol Data Unit, PDU).
Optionally, as an embodiment, the first IAB node has an egress link.
In order to describe the transmission method based on the flow control feedback provided in the embodiments of the present application in detail, the following description will be made with reference to several specific embodiments.
Example 1
This embodiment is a method of data routing path modification for a single egress link (egress link), i.e., BAP header rewriting operations of a single egress link.
The core of this embodiment is to change the path in the BAP header, but no rerouting is performed at the node operation (because there is only one link), i.e. the changed path at time a performs a specific rerouting operation at time B.
The application scenario of this embodiment is shown in fig. 4, and it is assumed that there are 4 BAP routing IDs (which can be configured by IAB-donor-CU) in the IAB topology structure as shown in fig. 4, so BH routing Configuration maintained by the IAB1 node is shown in the following table:
entity index | BAP routing ID | Destination node identification | Next hop IAB node | |
1 | 1 | | IAB2 | |
2 | 2 | IAB3 | IAB2 | |
3 | 3 | IAB2 | IAB2 | |
4 | 4 | IAB5 | IAB2 |
It should be noted that the BAP routing ID in the table is actually a string of 20-bit binary numbers, and is abbreviated as ID1/ID2 for convenience of description.
In this table, since IAB1 has only one egress link, the next-hop IAB node is IAB2. The BH routing Configuration table maintained by the IAB2 node is:
entity index | BAP routing ID | Destination node identification | Next hop IAB node | |
1 | 1 | | IAB3 | |
2 | 2 | IAB3 | IAB3 | |
3 | 3 | IAB2 | N/A | |
4 | 4 | IAB5 | IAB4 |
N/A in the table represents: the BAP routing ID in the data PDU has no indication of the next hop because IAB2 is the destination address of the data.
In this embodiment, the IAB1 receives a DL FC message about "link between IAB2 and IAB 3" sent by the IAB2 node, and the FC message indicates that:
in the related art, when the IAB1 receives the DL FC message sent by the IAB2 node, it may be determined that both the BAP routing ID1 and the BAP routing ID2 may trigger the rerouting operation, but at this time, the IAB1 does not have an extra egress link (except a link between the IAB 2) to reroute the data.
Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, IAB1 performs a change of the routing path on a single link for BAP data PDUs of BAP routing ID1 and BAP routing ID2, i.e. finds an alternative BAP routing ID from the BAP header overwrite configuration:
original BAP routing ID | Replaceable BAP routing ID |
ID 1 | ID4 |
ID 2 | N/A |
Optionally, BAP routing ID4 satisfies at least one of: 1) The destination node of the BAP routing ID4 is the same as the destination node of the BAP routing ID 1; 2) The data transmission corresponding to the BAP routing ID4 is in an available state. N/A in the table represents: there is no alternate path to replace for BAP routing ID 2.
Thus IAB1 may proceed BAP header writing with the BAP Data PDU of BAP routing ID1, changing it from ID1 to ID4 and handing it over to the next hop IAB node according to the routing rules. It can be seen that congestion occurs in the link between IAB2 and IAB3, and when IAB1 advances a portion of data (i.e., data of BAP routing ID 1) that needs to reach IAB5 through IAB3 by BAP header rewriting, so that the portion of data reaches IAB2 node and is directly routed to IAB4 (without requiring IAB2 to perform a rerouting operation through DL FC fed back by IAB 3), the following two advantages are brought:
1. the link transmission data rate between the IAB1 and the IAB2 is not reduced due to congestion of a certain BAP routing ID; namely, the data of the BAP routing ID1 is already congested and cannot bear more, if no operation is performed, the transmission of the BAP routing ID1 data on the link is reduced; by the scheme of the embodiment of the application, the data on the BAP routing ID1 is shunted to the BAP routing ID4 for transmission, so that the overall speed is not reduced.
2. The congestion problem can be expedited. In the related art, the solution is that IAB2 (i.e. the node with multiple egress links) needs to receive the FC meeting the trigger condition to perform rerouting, so congestion occurs but cannot be solved when IAB1 receives the FC, and only after waiting for congestion problems to occur in links between IAB3 and IAB5, IAB2 starts rerouting, so that congestion problems can be delayed.
Example two
In this embodiment, the BAP entity (entry) performs routing according to the following: BH routing configuration derived from F1AP message according to the specification in TS 38.473[5 ]. Each entity of the BH routing configuration contains the following: a BAP Routing path identification (i.e., BAP Routing ID) consisting of a BAP address and a BAP path identification, and a next hop BAP address indicated by a next hop BAP address IE.
For a BAP data PDU to be transmitted, the BAP entity should:
if the BAP data PDU corresponds to a BAP SDU received from an upper layer and if the F1AP does not (re) configure the BH route configuration after the last (re) configuring of the default UL BH RLC channel by the RRC, an egress link is selected on which an egress BH RLC channel corresponding to the default UL BH RLC channel is configured as specified in TS 38.331[3] for non-F1-U packets.
Otherwise, if the threshold value of the received flow control feedback meets the threshold value of the preset trigger rerouting, if an entity exists in the BH route configuration, the BAP address of the entity is matched with the destination address domain, the BAP path identifier of the entity is the same as the path domain, and the outlet link corresponding to the BAP address of the next hop is available for the BAP route ID, and the outlet link corresponding to the BAP address of the next hop is the outlet link corresponding to the BAP address of the next hop.
It should be noted that if the egress link congestion is determined according to the received flow control feedback, the egress link is considered to be unavailable for BAP route ID. Otherwise, if at least one entity's BAP address matches the destination address field in the BH routing configuration and its egress link corresponding to the next-hop BAP address is available for the matching BAP routing ID: selecting an entity from the BH routing configuration whose BAP address is the same as the destination address field and whose egress link corresponding to the next hop BAP address is available for matching BAP route IDs; performing a BAP header rewrite operation using the selected BAP path identification and the original BAP destination address; routing is performed to determine the egress link as specified in clause 5.2.1.3.
It should also be noted that the selected BAP route ID and the next hop node (BAP address) of the replacement/original BAP route ID may be the same.
Otherwise (meaning that no rerouting of the flow control feedback is performed following conventional methods), if there is an entity in the BH routing configuration whose BAP address matches the destination address field, whose BAP path identity is the same as the path field, and whose egress link corresponding to the next hop BAP address is available: the egress link corresponding to the ingress next hop BAP address is selected.
It should be noted that if the link is located in a BH RLF, the egress link is not available.
It should also be noted that there should be at most one entity in the BH routing configuration for each combination of BAP address and BAP path identification. There may be multiple entities with the same BAP address in the BH routing configuration.
Otherwise, if at least one entity's BAP address matches the destination address field in the BH routing configuration, and its egress link corresponding to the next-hop BAP address is available: selecting an entity from the BH routing configuration, the BAP address of the entity being the same as the destination address domain and having an egress link corresponding to the next hop BAP address available; an egress link corresponding to the next hop BAP address of the selected entity is selected.
Example III
In this embodiment, the IAB node of the multi-egress link preferably selects the same alternative BAP routing ID as the next-hop IAB node of original BAP routing ID when performing data rerouting, i.e., original egress link is the same as the egress link after the alternative BAP routing ID.
As shown in fig. 5, assuming that the packet is not rerouted at IAB1, IAB4 receives a downstream packet BAP Routing id=1; assuming that feedback BAP Routing id=1 is congested based on the flow control feedback message, neither BAP Routing ID2 nor BAP Routing ID3 is congested. Because BAP Routing ID2 and BAP Routing ID3 are backup BAP Routing paths, there is no or little data transmission. The alternate BAP routing path belongs to an alternate BAP routing path.
For IAB4, BAP Routing ID1 may be changed to BAP Routing ID2 or BAP Routing ID3 when a rerouting path is selected, but IAB4 nodes should prefer BAP Routing ID2. Since both BAP Routing ID2 and BAP Routing ID1 are IAB5 for the next hop IAB node at IAB4 node, the same link is used for this hop transmission.
This embodiment considers that the BH RLC CH of BAP Routing ID1 and BAP Routing ID2 may be more matched, which is advantageous for reducing transmission delay; whereas to BAP Routing ID3 (via IAB 6) may only select the default BH RLC CH, etc., the default BH RLC CH transmission delay is typically large.
In other embodiments, when the "alternate BAP routing ID" is configured by the IAB-donor-CU, then the IAB-donor-CU may configure the following reroute list to IAB4:
original BAP routing ID | BAP routing ID after BAP header overwriting | Priority (1-5 indicates from high to low) | |
ID1 | ID2 | 1 | |
| ID3 | 2 |
Therefore, when the IAB4 performs rerouting, the BAP routing ID2 with high priority is preferentially selected to replace the BAP routing ID 1.
Example IV
In this embodiment, the sub-IAB node determines whether to trigger rerouting after sending the flow control feedback message.
This embodiment is shown in fig. 6 and 7, where IAB2 reaches a first threshold value that triggers a flow control feedback message, thus triggering a DL control feedback message and sending to the IAB1 node; the IAB2 node starts a first timer (waiting for rerouting indication timer) after sending the control feedback message.
The embodiment shown in fig. 6 is a case where IAB1 cannot be rerouted. In this embodiment, when IAB1 receives a DL flow control feedback message sent by an IAB2 node, although the flow control feedback message indicates that available buffer size of BAP routing ID2 all reach a first threshold that can trigger rerouting, only one egress link is included in IAB1, so that rerouting cannot be performed. So after receiving the DL flow Control feedback message, IAB1 generates a BAP Control PDU (corresponding to the second indication of the previous embodiment) in the format shown in fig. 8, and in fig. 8, the PDU type value is used to indicate that the type of the Control PDU is "reroute indication".
If the IAB2 node receives the BAP control PDU, it knows that the parent node IAB1 does not start rerouting, so that the IAB2 node starts a rerouting operation (assuming that the buffer size in the flow control feedback message sent by the IAB2 node meets a preconfigured condition for triggering rerouting), and reroutes the data of the BAP routing ID2 to the BAP routing ID 3.
The embodiment shown in fig. 7 is a case where the receiving node is capable of rerouting. In this embodiment, when the IAB1 receives the DL flow control feedback message sent by the IAB2 node, the flow control feedback message indicates that the available buffer size (available buffer size) of the BAP routing ID2 reaches the first threshold where the rerouting can be triggered, and since the IAB1 and the IAB3 node have additional egress links (except links between the IAB2 node), the rerouting of the data can be performed. After receiving the DL flow control feedback message, IAB1 reroutes the data of BAP routing ID2 onto BAP routing ID3 and generates a BAP control PDU in the format shown in fig. 8. In fig. 8, a PDU type value is used to indicate that the type of the Control PDU is "reroute indication".
If the IAB2 node receives the BAP control PDU, it knows that the parent node IAB1 has opened a reroute, so the IAB2 node does not further open a reroute operation (even if a condition for triggering a reroute is satisfied).
