Description

一种空口非激活态维持方法和装置 技术领域
本公开涉及移动通讯技术领域,尤指一种空口非激活态维持方法和装置。
背景技术
在5G***中,支持终端UE(用户设备)单连接(Single Connectivity,SC)和双/多连接(Dual/Multiple Connectivity,DC/MC)配置和操作功能。在SC单连接模式下,UE在空口和网络侧都只有一条数据传输通道,而在DC/MC双/多连接模式下,UE在空口或网络侧都有两条或者以上的数据传输通道。以双连接为例,UE可以在空口,同时与两个NG-RAN基站建立和保持两条独立的无线链路连接(空口数据传输通道),一个基站称为主基站(Master Node,MN),另一个基站称为辅基站(Secondary Node,SN);而MN和SN可以在NG接口,同时和核心网用户面网元节点UPF,同时建立和保持两条独立的网络侧连接(网络数据传输通道),但只有MN能和核心网控制面网元节点AMF建立和保持NG-C连接,相关架构如附图1所示。处于双连接配置操作的UE,也可以进入到RRC_INACTIVE非激活状态双连接操作同时结合着RRC_INACTIVE非激活状态的好处是:网络侧主辅基站MN/SN和UE都可以同时保持着各自双连接通讯配置的上下文,从而避免网络侧和终端UE回落到单连接配置操作,之后可能又再次通过配置回到双连接操作,相关架构如附图2所示。
在UE不改变当前服务主基站MN和辅基站SN的前提下,UE和网络侧进入和退出RRC_INACTIVE非激活状态的流程,当前标准协议已可以支持;但随着UE移动,当UE离开当前服务主基站MN和辅基站SN小区覆盖的时候,比如:MN发生了切换,SN发生了改变等,UE如何一直维持在RRC_INACTIVE非激活状态,当前标准协议还不能有效地支持。

实施例1
流程如附图6所示:某UE处于MeNB和SgNB1双连接工作模式,且PDU Session1锚定建立在MeNB侧;同时PDU Session2锚定建立在SgNB1侧。某时刻,PDU Session1和2的用户数据暂时中断停止,MeNB决定通过空口Suspend流程,将UE重配置到RRC_INACTIVE非激活状态,从而释放掉MCG Radio Link和SCG Radio Link和低层的无线配置。MeNB保存着NG-C和NG-U(MN)网络连接,和PDU Session1相关的高层配置;SgNB1保存着NG-U(SN)网络连接,和PDU Session2相关的高层配置;UE保存着PDU Session1和2相关的高层配置。
步骤101:UE处于双连接配置和RRC_INACTIVE非激活状态,仍然继续执行对部署有候选目标辅基站的各个异频点RRM无线测量。当UE测量后,发现自己已进入到新的目标辅基站SgNB2之后,UE在空口Uu触发RRC连接恢复流程,发起RRC Connection Resume Request消息或其它适用的RRC上行消息。RRC Connection Resume Request消息或其它适用的RRC上行消息包含:MeNB/SgNB1之前给UE分配的P-I-RNTI和S-I-RNTI信息,SgNB2下新服务小区标识id,恢复原因值Casue value=SN change。

步骤104:MeNB再通过Xn接口,向新目标辅基站SgNB2发起SN建立流程,发起SN Addition Request消息;SN Addition Request消息包含:源SgNB1内原来保存的UE在SgNB1侧上下文信息,从而将该上下文信息发送给SgNB2并进行保存。基于该上下文信息,SgNB2于是得知自己需要去承载PDU Session2(原来被SgNB1承载)及其相关的上下文配置。注:因为是非激活态,SgNB2不需要建立SCG低层的无线配置,仅仅继续保存UE在SN侧的网络连接和相关高层配置。
步骤105:SgNB2通过Xn接口,向MeNB发起SN Addition Request ACK消息;SN Addition Request ACK消息包含:用于承载PDU Session2需要的SgNB2侧下行传输地址信息。SgNB2基于MeNB转发来的SN侧上下文信息,可得知PDU Session2原来在UPF侧的上行传输地址,进一步和UPF建立NG-U(SN)网络连接(NG-U数据传输通道),再进一步建立完成和MN的Xn网络连接。

步骤107:MeNB通过NG-C接口向AMF/SMF发起PDU Session Resource Modify Indication流程,向UPF提供SgNB2刚分配的用于承载PDU Session2需要的SgNB2侧下行传输地址信息,从而UPF和SgNB2建立完成新的NG-U(SN)网络连接(NG-U数据传输通道)。
步骤108:MeNB通过Xn接口,向源SgNB1发起UE Context释放流程,发起UE Context Release消息。基于该消息,SgNB1随后释放掉原来保存的UE在SgNB1侧上下 文信息。
步骤109:当UE有上行用户数据抵达待传输,UE向源MeNB发起RACH流程,并且指示该上行用户数据相关的DRB id或QoS Flow id信息,尝试恢复到RRC_ACTIVE状态。

步骤205:SgNB2通过Xn接口,向MgNB发起SN Addition Request ACK消息;SN Addition Request ACK消息包含:用于承载PDU Session3/4需要的SgNB2侧下行传输地址信息。SgNB2基于MgNB转发来的SN侧上下文信息,可得知PDU Session3/4原来在UPF侧的上行传输地址,进一步和UPF建立NG-U(SN)网络连接(NG-U数据传输通道),再进一步建立完成和MN的Xn网络连接。
