例如,核心网为演进分组核心网(英文:Evolved Packet Core,简称:EPC),主网络设备为LTE基站(如eNB),与EPC之间可以为终端设备建立控制面和用户面连接,辅网络设备为NR基站(如gNB),与EPC之间只能建立用户面连接,第一单元为LTE RRC实体,负责LTE无线资源的管理,第二单元为NR RRC实体,负责NR无线资源的管理,以及,核心网与主网络设备之间例如可以采用S1接口,核心网与辅网络设备之间例如可以采用S1接口,主网络设备与辅网络设备之间例如可以采用X2接口。
再比如,核心网为下一代核心网(英文:Next Generation Core,简称:NGC)、或5G核心网(英文:5G Core Network,简称:5G-CN)、或5G核心网(英文:5G Core,简称:5GC),下面以核心网为NGC为例进行说明。主网络设备为LTE基站(如eNB),与NGC之间可以为终端设备建立控制面和用户面连接,辅网络设备为NR基站(如gNB),与NGC之间只能建立用户面连接,第一单元为LTE RRC实体,负责LTE无线资源,第二单元为NR RRC实体,负责NR无线资源的管理,以及,核心网与主网络设备之间例如可以采用下一代(英文:Next Generation,简称:NG)接口,核心网与辅网络设备之间例如可以采用NG接口,主网络设备与辅网络设备之间例如可以采用Xn接口(即下一代接口)。
再比如,核心网为NGC、或5G-CN、或5GC,下面以核心网为NGC为例进行说明。,主网络设备为NR基站(如gNB),与NGC之间可以为终端设备建立控制面和用户面连接,辅网络设备为LTE基站(如eNB),与NGC之间只能建立用户面连接,第一单元为NR RRC实体,负责NR无线资源,第二单元为LTE RRC实体,负责LTE 无线资源的管理,以及,核心网与主网络设备之间例如可以采用NG接口,核心网与辅网络设备之间例如可以采用NG接口,主网络设备与辅网络设备之间例如可以采用Xn接口(即下一代接口)。
当然,核心网也还可以是其它核心网,主网络设备可以是其它网络设备,例如前文提到的各种类型网络设备,辅网络设备也可以是其它网络设备,例如前文提到的各种类型网络设备。
本申请中,主网络设备和辅网络设备的制式可以相同,也可以不同,下面主要针对主网络设备和辅网络设备制式不同进行说明,例如,主网络设备为LTE基站,辅网络设备为NR基站,或者主网络设备为NR基站,辅网络设备为LTE基站,并且,为方便说明,本申请中,第一单元与主网络设备具有相同的制式,第二单元与辅网络设备具有相同的制式,例如,当主网络设备为NR基站,辅网络设备为LTE基站时,则第一单元负责NR无线资源的管理,例如为NR RRC实体,第二单元负责LTE无线资源的管理,例如为LTE RRC实体;再比如,当主网络设备为LTE基站,辅网络设备为NR基站时,则第一单元负责LTE无线资源的管理,例如为LTE RRC实体,第二单元负责NR无线资源的管理,例如为NR RRC实体。

本申请,第一单元和第二单元负责各自制式的配置,互相不理解彼此的配置。
主网络设备和辅网络设备之间互相独立,从网络侧看,主网络设备和辅网络设备都有RRC可以产生完整的RRC消息,针对图2(a)所示的场景,辅网络设备生成的RRC消息(其中携带辅网络设备的RRC配置)发送给主网络设备,主网络设备将辅网络设备的RRC消息作为一个容器(container)携带于主网络设备的RRC消息中发送给终端设备,即,终端设备从主网络设备接收主网络设备的RRC消息,该RRC消息中包含主网络设备的RRC配置和辅网络设备的RRC配置,其中,主网络设备的RRC消息中的辅网络设备的RRC配置是由辅网络设备通过辅网络设备的RRC消息发送至主网络设备的。
针对图2(a)所示的RRC配置方式,本申请也称为联合配置,即辅网络设备将辅网络设备的RRC配置发送至主网络设备,主网络设备再将辅网络设备的RRC配置发送至终端设备,同时,主网络设备还可以将主网络设备的RRC配置发送至终端设备,即,在联合配置场景中,辅网络设备的RRC配置需要通过主网络设备发送至终端设备。
如图2(b)所示,为本申请提供的另一种网络结构图,其中核心网、主网络设备、辅网络设备、第一单元、第二单元的类型及相互关系与图2(a)中核心网、主网络设备、辅网络设备、第一单元、第二单元的类型及相互关系相同,具体可参考上述描述,图2(b)与图2(a)主要不同之处在于:图2(b)中,辅网络设备可直接向终端设备发送RRC消息,其中携带辅网络设备的RRC配置,主网络设备向终端设备发送RRC消息,其中携带主网络设备的RRC配置,因此,图2(b)所示的RRC配置方式,本申请也称为独立配置,即主网络设备的RRC配置和辅网络设备的RRC配置是由主网络设备和辅网络设备分别独立发送至终端设备的。
下面分别结合附图2(a)和附图2(b),对本申请提供的两种失败处理方法分别做详细说明。

上述本申请提供的实施例中,分别从各个网元本身、以及从各个网元之间交互的角度对本申请实施例提供的失败处理方法进行了介绍。可以理解的是,各个网元,例如终端设备(例如UE)、网络设备(例如基站)等为了实现上述功能,其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和/或软件模块。本领域技术人员应该很容易意识到,结合本文中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法步骤,本申请能够以硬件或硬件和计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件还是计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。专业技术人员可以对每个特定的应用来使用不同方法来实现所描述的功能,但是这种实现不应认为超出本申请的范围。
在主网络设备的切换场景中,即终端设备连接的第一主网络设备需要切换为第二主网络设备,且保持终端设备连接的辅网络设备不变,以及保持辅网络设备的配置不变,按照现有技术,由于第一主网络设备、第二主网络设备、辅网络设备的制式相同,例如均为LTE网络设备、或均为NR网络设备等,因此,切换流程为:第一主网络设备将辅网络设备的配置发送给第二主网络设备,第二主网络设备接收到辅网络设备的配置之后,可读取并理解其中的配置,因此可基于配置和终端设备的能力,生成配置,并且保证最终配置不超过终端设备的能力。
考虑到另一种应用场景,第一主网络设备和第二主网络设备具有相同的制式,且与辅网络设备的制式不同,此时,按照上述切换流程,由于第二主网络设备无法理解辅网络设备的配置,因此,不能按照上述切换方法从第一主网络设备切换至第二主网络设备。
为此,本申请还提供一种切换方法,如图4所示,包括以下步骤:
步骤301、第一主网络设备向第二主网络设备发送第三消息。
其中,所述第三消息用于请求切换,例如,该第三消息为切换请求消息,所述第三消息包含所述第一主网络设备与所述辅网络设备之间的能力协商结果。
可选地,所述能力协商结果包含所述第一主网络设备可用的Layer 2缓存大小、和/或所述第一主网络设备可用的频带组合。
其中,Layer 2缓存指的是终端设备的Layer 2缓存,频带组合指的是终端设备的频带组合(band combination)。
步骤302、第二主网络设备基于所述第一主网络设备与所述辅网络设备之间的能力协商结果,生成所述第二主网络设备的配置。
即,所述第二主网络设备的配置与所述能力协商结果有关联。
可选地,所述配置为RRC配置。
步骤303、所述第二主网络设备向第一主网络设备发送所述第二主网络设备的配置。
步骤304、第一主网络设备接收第二主网络设备发送的第二主网络设备的配置。
通过上述步骤301~步骤304,由第一主网络设备直接将第一主网络设备与辅网络设备之间的能力协商结果发送至第二主网络设备,使得第二主网络设备基于能力协商结果生成配置,无需获取并理解辅网络设备的配置,可保证切换过程中,第二主网络设备能够成功地生成配置。
可选地,所述第一主网络设备还可以接收所述辅网络设备的配置;进而,第一主网络设备向终端设备发送第二主网络设备的配置和辅网络设备的配置。其中,所述第一主网络设备接收所述辅网络设备的配置,包括:所述第一主网络设备从所述第二主网络设备接收所述辅网络设备的配置,或者,所述第一主网络设备从辅网络设备接收所述辅网络设备的配置。
即,通过上述步骤,第二主网络设备将第二主网络设备的配置发送至第一主网络设备,可选地,第二主网络设备还将辅网络设备的配置发送至第一主网络设备(或者是,辅网络设备将辅网络设备的配置发送至第一主网络设备),第一主网络设备在接收到第二主网络设备的配置之后,可选地,还接收到辅网络设备的配置,第一主网络设备将第二主网络设备的配置发送至终端设备,可选地,还将辅网络设备的配置发送至终端设备。
可选地,终端设备若接收到第一主网络设备发送的辅网络设备的配置,且所述辅网络设备的配置失败,则终端设备向第一主网络设备发送第四消息,所述第四消息用于指示RRC连接重建立。
其中,终端设备在接收到第一主网络设备发送的辅网络设备的配置且辅网络设备的配置失败时的失败处理方法的详细过程,可参考前文和图3(a)所示的描述,此处不再赘述。
下面举例说明,以频带组合的协商为例,针对频带组合的能力协商,一种可选的方案是,维护一张频带组合列表,例如如表1所示,第一列为index(索引),第二列为第一主网络设备能用的频带组合,第三列为第一主网络设备使用第二列的频带组合时,辅网络设备能够使用的频带组合。之所以存在这样的组合,是因为不同频带可能会使用同一个终端设备的射频链,同一个射频链无法同时被第一主网络设备和辅网络 设备使用。
网络侧能够从终端设备的能力中得到表1信息,具体地,第一主网络设备只需要知道index对应的第一主网络设备的频带组合,辅网络设备只需要知道index对应的辅网络设备的频带组合,在能力协商过程中,第一主网络设备选择一组频带组合,并将相应的index发送至辅网络设备,因此辅网络设备可以知道辅网络设备能够使用的频带组合,从而保证最终的配置不会超过终端设备的能力。例如,第一主网络设备选择的频带组合为1、3、5,则第一主网络设备将index 4发送至辅网络设备,则辅网络设备得知能够使用的频带组合为2、3、4。
表1
Index(索引) 第一主网络设备的频带组合 辅网络设备的频带组合
1 1、2、3、4 2、3、5
2 2、3、4 2、3、4、5
3 4、5 1、2、3
4 1、3、5 2、3、4
第一主网络设备在确定了第一主网络设备可用的频带组合后,例如可用的频带组合为1、3、5,将第一主网络设备可用的频带组合发送至第二主网络设备。
再以Layer 2缓存为例,假设终端设备的Layer 2缓存大小为1G,则第一主网络设备与辅网络设备经过协商,例如最终确定第一主网络设备可用的Layer 2缓存大小为600M,辅网络设备可用的Layer 2缓存大小为400M。
第一主网络设备在确定了第一主网络设备可用的Layer 2缓存大小和可用的频带组合后,将第一主网络设备可用的Layer 2缓存大小和可用的频带组合发送至第二主网络设备,第二主网络设备进而生成配置,例如生成RRC配置,并发送至第一主网络设备,由第一主网络设备再发送至终端设备。
可选地,辅网络设备根据辅网络设备可用的Layer 2缓存大小和可用的频带组合,生成配置,并发送至第二主网络设备,第二主网络设备将辅网络设备的配置和第二主网络设备的配置一起发送至第一主网络设备,由第一主网络设备发送至终端设备。
