When the terminal device switches to the connected state, a data tunnel needs to be established between the DU and the CU based on the bearer. When using this method for data transmission, it is necessary to complete the establishment of the data tunnel through multiple signaling interactions between the DU and CU. At this time, a large signaling overhead will be generated and the data transmission delay will also be caused. Cause an impact.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the network device Some functions are separated into a first network node and a second network node.
具体地,图2示出了本申请实施例的技术方案的另一种应用场景的示意图,图2中的通信***中,引入了CU-DU的切分,DU可以对应于图1中的第一网络节点,CU对应于图1中的第二网络节点。Specifically, FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of another application scenario of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application. In the communication system in FIG. 2, CU-DU segmentation is introduced. The DU may correspond to the first in FIG. 1. A network node, CU corresponds to the second network node in FIG. 1.
应理解,第一网络节点和第二网络节点可以是一个整体网络架构中的两个物理或者逻辑分离模块,也可以是完全独立的两个逻辑网元。It should be understood that the first network node and the second network node may be two physically or logically separated modules in an overall network architecture, or two completely independent logical network elements.
还应理解,该第二网络节点可以进行控制面和用户面分离,形成第二网络节点的用户 面和第二网络节点的控制面。It should also be understood that the second network node may separate the control plane and the user plane to form the user plane of the second network node and the control plane of the second network node.
CU具有无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)或者部分RRC控制功能,包含现有基站的所有的协议层功能或者部分协议层功能;比如只包含RRC功能或者部分RRC功能,或者包含RRC功能或者业务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层功能,或者包含RRC/分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层功能,或者包含RRC/PDCP以及部分无线链路层控制协议(radio link control,RLC)层功能;或者包含RRC/PDCP/媒体介入控制(media access control,MAC)层,甚至部分或者全部物理层PHY功能,也不排除其它任何可能性。CU has radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) or part of RRC control functions, including all protocol layer functions or part of protocol layer functions of existing base stations; for example, including only RRC functions or part of RRC functions, or including RRC functions or services Data adaptation protocol (service, adaptation, protocol, SDAP) layer functions, or include RRC/packet data convergence protocol (packet data, convergence, protocol, PDCP) layer functions, or include RRC/PDCP and some radio link layer control protocols (radio link) control, RLC) layer function; or including RRC/PDCP/media access control (MAC) layer, or even part or all of the physical layer PHY function, does not rule out any other possibility.
DU具有除CU具有的协议层功能之外的现有基站的全部协议层功能,即RRC/SDAP/PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY的部分协议层功能单元,比如包含部分RRC功能和PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY等协议层功能,或者包含PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY等协议层功能,或者包含RLC/MAC/PHY等协议层功能或者包含部分RLC/MAC/PHY功能,或者只包含全部或者部分PHY功能;需要注意的是这里提及的各个协议层的功能可能发生变化,均在本申请保护的范围内。例如,DU具有现有基站的全部协议层功能。The DU has all the protocol layer functions of the existing base station except the protocol layer functions of the CU, that is, some protocol layer functional units of RRC/SDAP/PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY, such as including some RRC functions and PDCP/RLC/ Protocol layer functions such as MAC/PHY, or include protocol layer functions such as PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY, or include protocol layer functions such as RLC/MAC/PHY, or include some RLC/MAC/PHY functions, or only all or part of PHY Function; It should be noted that the functions of the various protocol layers mentioned here may change, all within the scope of protection of this application. For example, DU has all the protocol layer functions of existing base stations.
示例的,PDCP及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,PDCP以下的协议层,例如RLC和MAC等的功能设置在DU。当然,这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例,还可以在其它协议层划分,例如在RLC层划分,将RLC层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,RLC层以下协议层的功能设置在DU。或者,在某个协议层中划分,例如将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU,将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。此外,也可以按其它方式划分,例如按时延划分,将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU,不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。此外,射频装置可以拉远,不放在DU中,也可以集成在DU中,或者部分拉远部分集成在DU中,在此不作任何限制。For example, the functions of the PDCP and above protocol layers are set in the CU, and the functions of the protocol layers below PDCP, such as RLC and MAC, are set in the DU. Of course, this division of the protocol layer is only an example, and it can also be divided in other protocol layers, such as the division at the RLC layer, the functions of the RLC layer and above protocol layers are set to CU, and the functions of the protocol layers below the RLC layer are set at DU. Or, in a certain protocol layer, for example, some functions of the RLC layer and the functions of the protocol layer above the RLC layer are set in the CU, and the remaining functions of the RLC layer and the functions of the protocol layer below the RLC layer are set in the DU. In addition, it can also be divided in other ways, for example, according to the delay, and the function that the processing time needs to meet the delay requirement is set in the DU, and the function that does not need to meet the delay requirement is set in the CU. In addition, the radio frequency device can be remotely located, not placed in the DU, or integrated in the DU, or partially remotely and partially integrated in the DU, without any limitation here.
又例如,在5G网络中,新型的中继节点也有新的技术进展,例如,中继节点仅部署有层2(例如,包括无线链路控制(resource link control,RLC)层、MAC层等)和层1(例如,包括PHY层)的协议栈架构,而未部署层2以上的全部协议栈功能,例如全部RRC层功能。因此,宿主基站产生的数据或信令,需要由中继节点转发给终端设备。For another example, in 5G networks, new relay nodes also have new technological developments. For example, relay nodes are only deployed with layer 2 (for example, including the radio link control (resource link control, RLC) layer, MAC layer, etc.) The protocol stack architecture of layer 1 (eg, including the PHY layer) is not deployed, but all the protocol stack functions above layer 2, such as all RRC layer functions, are not deployed. Therefore, the data or signaling generated by the host base station needs to be forwarded by the relay node to the terminal device.
应理解,本申请实施例中的第一网络节点可以对应于CU-DU架构中的DU,也可以对应于上述中继节点,第二网络节点可以对应于CU-DU架构中的CU,也可以对应于上述宿主基站。It should be understood that the first network node in the embodiment of the present application may correspond to the DU in the CU-DU architecture or the above relay node, and the second network node may correspond to the CU in the CU-DU architecture, or Corresponds to the above-mentioned host base station.

As shown in FIG. 3, a network device may include one CU and at least one DU. The current third-generation partnership program (3rd generation partnership program) project, 3GPP) the interface between CUs in different network devices is Xn-C, the interface between CU and 5G core network (5G core network, 5GC) is Ng, and the interface between CU and DU is named F1, The F1 interface includes a control plane (CP) and a user plane (user) (UP).

在5G中,为终端设备引入了一个新的RRC状态,称之为去激活态(inactive)。处于inactive态的终端设备中止了终端设备与网络设备之间的连接,此时,终端设备的接入层(AS,access stratum)上下文同时保存在终端设备侧和网络侧。在终端设备需要发送数据或者网络侧需要终端设备接收数据时,终端设备向网络设备请求恢复连接。当终端设备从inactive态转换至连接态时,可以不重新激活网络设备与核心网控制面之间的链路。In 5G, a new RRC state is introduced for the terminal equipment, which is called inactive state. The terminal device in the inactive state terminates the connection between the terminal device and the network device. At this time, the access stratum (AS, access) context of the terminal device is simultaneously stored on the terminal device side and the network side. When the terminal device needs to send data or the network side needs the terminal device to receive data, the terminal device requests the network device to restore the connection. When the terminal device transitions from the inactive state to the connected state, the link between the network device and the core network control plane may not be reactivated.
在CU-DU架构下,终端设备从连接态转换至inactive态的流程可以包括以下步骤:Under the CU-DU architecture, the process of transitioning the terminal device from the connected state to the inactive state may include the following steps:
(1)CU向DU发送UE上下文释放命令(UE context release command)消息,该消息用于DU释放终端设备的上下文。特别地,若网络侧决定将连接态的UE转换为Inactive状态,则DU不保留终端设备的上下文,所有的上下文都是保存在CU;(1) The CU sends a UE context release command (UE context release command) message to the DU, which is used by the DU to release the context of the terminal device. In particular, if the network side decides to convert the connected UE to the Inactive state, the DU does not retain the context of the terminal device, and all the context is stored in the CU;
(2)DU向终端设备发送RRC连接释放(RRC connection release)消息,相应地,终端设备收到该RRC连接释放消息后,若该RRC连接释放消息中包括挂起(suspend)配置信息,则进入Inactive态;若该RRC连接释放消息中不包括suspend配置信息,则进入 空闲态(idle);(2) The DU sends an RRC connection release (RRC connection release) message to the terminal device. Correspondingly, after receiving the RRC connection release message, the terminal device enters if the RRC connection release message includes suspend configuration information Inactive state; if the RRC connection release message does not include suspend configuration information, then enter the idle state (idle);
(3)DU向CU发送UE上下文释放完成(UE context release complete)消息。(3) The DU sends a UE context release complete (UE context release) message to the CU.
当处于Inactive态的终端设备需要发送数据或者网络侧需要终端设备接收数据时,需要从Inactive态切换至连接态。以下行传输为例,在CU-DU架构下,终端设备从inactive态切换至连接态的流程可以包括以下步骤:When the terminal device in the Inactive state needs to send data or the network side needs the terminal device to receive data, it needs to switch from the Inactive state to the connected state. The following line transmission is used as an example. Under the CU-DU architecture, the process of switching the terminal device from the inactive state to the connected state may include the following steps:
(1)若核心网有下行数据到达,则CU向DU发送寻呼(paging)消息;(1) If downlink data arrives in the core network, the CU sends a paging message to the DU;
(2)DU收到寻呼消息后,通过空口(air interface)向终端设备发送寻呼消息;(2) After receiving the paging message, the DU sends the paging message to the terminal device through the air interface;
(3)终端设备向DU发送RRC连接恢复请求(RRC connection resume request)消息或RRC恢复请求(RRC resume request)消息;(3) The terminal device sends an RRC connection recovery request (RRC connection resume request) message or RRC recovery request (RRC resume request) message to the DU;
(4)DU收到终端设备发送的RRC连接恢复请求消息或RRC恢复请求消息以后,将该请求消息通过初始上行RRC消息传输(initial UL RRC message transfer)消息发送给CU;(4) After receiving the RRC connection recovery request message or RRC recovery request message sent by the terminal device, the DU sends the request message to the CU through an initial uplink RRC message transmission (initial UL RRC message transfer) message;
(5)若确定将终端设备切换为连接态(例如有数据需要发送),则CU向DU发送UE上下文建立请求(UE context setup request)消息,该请求消息包括需要建立的承载等信息;(5) If it is determined that the terminal device is switched to the connected state (for example, data needs to be sent), the CU sends a UE context establishment request (UE context setup request) message to the DU, where the request message includes information such as the bearer that needs to be established;
(6)DU向CU发送UE上下文建立回复(UE context setup response)消息,告知CU其已成功建立承载;(6) The DU sends a UE context establishment response (UE context setup response) message to the CU to inform the CU that it has successfully established the bearer;
(7)CU向DU发送下行RRC消息传输(DL RRC message transfer)消息,该消息包括步骤8中传输的RRC消息;(7) The CU sends a DL RRC message transfer (DL RRC message transfer) message to the DU, which includes the RRC message transmitted in step 8;
(8)DU向终端设备发送RRC连接恢复请求消息或RRC连接请求消息消息,用于将终端设备置为连接态;或RRC拒绝(RRC reject)消息,表示终端设备接入未成功,终端设备收到该消息后仍然处于Inactive态);或RRC建立(RRC setup)消息,此时CU没有终端设备的上下文,但终端设备收到该消息后仍然可以切换为连接态);或RRC释放(RRC release)消息,此时若该消息包括suspend配置消息,则终端设备处于inactive态,否则终端设备切换至idle态;(8) The DU sends an RRC connection recovery request message or an RRC connection request message message to the terminal device, which is used to put the terminal device into the connected state; or an RRC reject (RRC reject) message, indicating that the terminal device access is not successful, and the terminal device receives After the message is still in the Inactive state); or RRC setup (RRC Setup message), the CU does not have the context of the terminal device, but the terminal device can still switch to the connected state after receiving the message); or RRC release (RRC release ) Message, if the message includes the suspend configuration message at this time, the terminal device is in the inactive state, otherwise the terminal device switches to the idle state;
(9)终端设备向DU发送RRC恢复/建立完成(RRC resume/setup complete)消息,用于回复步骤8中的消息;(9) The terminal device sends an RRC resume/setup complete (RRC resume/setup complete) message to the DU to reply to the message in step 8;
(10)DU向CU发送上行RRC消息传输(UL RRC message transfer)消息。此时,承载建立完成,终端设备进入连接态,可以与网络设备进行数据传输。(10) The DU sends an uplink RRC message (UL RRC message transfer) message to the CU. At this time, the bearer establishment is completed, the terminal device enters the connected state, and can perform data transmission with the network device.
在上述从inactive态切换至连接态的流程中,终端设备需要经过以上10个步骤才能够切换至连接态,也就是说,终端设备在步骤(10)之后才能进行数据传输。上述的过程也可以应用在inactive在新的DU发起RRC恢复流程的场景。In the above process of switching from the inactive state to the connected state, the terminal device needs to go through the above 10 steps to switch to the connected state, that is, the terminal device can perform data transmission after step (10). The above process can also be applied to the scenario where inactive initiates the RRC recovery process in a new DU.
由此可见,处于inactive态的终端设备通过上述流程进行数据传输时,会产生较大的信令开销,而由于在步骤(10)之后才能进行数据传输,也会对数据传输的时延造成影响。It can be seen that when the terminal device in the inactive state performs data transmission through the above process, a large signaling overhead will be generated, and since data transmission can only be performed after step (10), it will also affect the delay of data transmission .
针对上述问题,本申请提出一种通信方法,能够减少处于inactive态的终端设备在数据传输过程中的信令开销,降低数据传输的时延,提高***数据传输的效率。In view of the above problems, the present application proposes a communication method, which can reduce the signaling overhead of the terminal device in the inactive state during data transmission, reduce the delay of data transmission, and improve the efficiency of system data transmission.
