Description
本申请要求在2019年4月23日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201910327423.7、发明名称为“一种通信方法及设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及设备。
在演进的通用陆面无线接入与新空口双连接(E-UTRA NR dual connectivity,EN-DC)架构下,作为主基站的长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)基站可以通过信令无线承载(signaling radio bearer,SRB)1向终端设备下发配置,例如配置终端设备上报终端设备的辅助信息,以帮助LTE基站根据终端设备的辅助信息了解终端设备的状况,从而更好地调度终端设备。终端设备的辅助信息例如包括终端设备的过热(overheating)信息,过热信息例如包括终端设备倾向于减少终端设备的上下行辅小区数,或终端设备所倾向的上下行能力集合等。
目前,终端设备只能向作为主基站的LTE基站发送终端设备的辅助信息,LTE基站在接收终端设备的辅助信息后可以做出决策。例如终端设备向LTE基站发送了过热信息,那么LTE基站可能做出的一种决策为,令终端设备释放与作为辅基站的新空口(new radio,NR)基站之间的连接,使得终端设备改为工作在单连接的结构下。
终端设备工作在单连接的结构下之后,只能从LTE基站接收数据,而无法再从NR基站接收数据。这对于终端设备来说,性能下降会较为明显。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及设备,用于提高终端设备的传输性能。
第一方面,提供第一种通信方法,该方法包括:终端设备确定能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送所述终端设备的辅助信息,所述终端设备连接至少两个网络设备,所述第一网络设备为所述至少两个网络设备中的辅网络设备;所述终端设备通过所述SRB3向所述第一网络设备发送所述辅助信息,所述辅助信息用于指示所述终端设备所期望的配置或所述终端设备的业务信息。
该方法可由第一通信装置执行,第一通信装置可以是通信设备或能够支持通信设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,例如芯片***。示例性地,所述通信设备为终端设备。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以通过SRB3向作为辅网络设备的第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,例如辅助信息可以包括终端设备的过热信息,那么相当于辅网络设备也能获得终端设备的过热信息,从而辅网络设备可以对终端设备进行相应的配置,不至于 使终端设备释放与辅网络设备之间的连接,从而有助于提高终端设备的传输性能。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式中,终端设备确定能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送所述终端设备的辅助信息,包括:所述终端设备接收来自第一网络设备或所述第二网络设备的第一配置信息;所述终端设备根据所述第一配置信息确定所述终端设备能够通过所述SRB3向所述第一网络设备发送所述辅助信息,所述第二网络设备为所述至少两个网络设备中的主网络设备。
终端设备可以根据网络设备的配置确定是否能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。而向终端设备发送第一配置信息的可以是第一网络设备,也可以是第二网络设备,较为灵活。
结合第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第二种可能的实施方式中,所述第一配置信息还包括第一时间信息,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备根据所述第一时间信息确定,所述终端设备在所述第一时间信息对应的时间范围内能够通过所述SRB3向所述第一网络设备发送所述辅助信息;或,所述终端设备根据所述第一时间信息确定,所述终端设备在向所述第一网络设备发送所述辅助信息后,在所述第一时间内不再向所述第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
第一时间信息可以用于指示,终端设备能够在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围内通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这也就表明第一时间信息隐含指示了,在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围之外,终端设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这相当于给终端设备通过SRB3发送辅助信息添加了时间限制,终端设备只能在规定的时间内通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这种方式便于第二网络设备进行管理。或者,第一时间信息可以用于指示,终端设备在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息后,在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围内不能再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这也就表明第一时间信息隐含指示了,终端设备在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息后,在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围之外,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。通过这种方式,可以避免终端设备频繁向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,减轻第一网络设备的负担。第一时间信息例如为定时器的信息,或者为第一时刻的信息,或者为第一时长的信息等,对于第一时间信息的实现方式不做限制。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第二种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第三种可能的实施方式中,所述第一配置信息还包括所述辅助信息对应的至少一个参数的信息,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备确定能够通过所述SRB3向所述第一网络设备发送所述至少一个参数的取值。
相当于网络设备可以告知终端设备,网络设备需要的是哪些参数,从而终端设备可以上报网络设备所需要的参数的取值,使得终端设备的上报更符合网络设备的需求。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第三种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第四种可能的实施方式中,所述辅助信息为所述第一网络设备相关的信息,或所述辅助信息包括所述第一网络设备相关的信息以及所述第二网络设备相关的信息。
终端设备所发送的辅助信息可以只包括第一网络设备相关的信息,相当于终端设备可以针对第一网络设备只发送第一网络设备相关的信息,从而第一网络设备可以直接根据这 些信息进行决策。例如终端设备所发送的辅助信息中的辅小区数,可以只包括第一网络设备对应的辅小区数,而不包括第二网络设备对应的辅小区数,从而第一网络设备无需与第二网络设备进行协商,而是可以直接根据终端设备的辅助信息进行相应的决策。或者,终端设备发送的辅助信息也可以既包括第一网络设备相关的信息,也包括第二网络设备相关的信息,相当于终端设备可以一并将两个网络设备相关的辅助信息都发送给第一网络设备,例如第一网络设备可以将第二网络设备相关的信息再发送给第二网络设备,从而可以减少终端设备与网络设备之间的交互过程。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第四种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第五种可能的实施方式中,在所述终端设备通过所述SRB3向所述第一网络设备发送所述辅助信息之后,还包括:所述终端设备通过所述SRB3接收来自所述第一网络设备的调整信息,所述调整信息用于调整所述终端设备的配置。
第一网络设备在接收辅助信息后,可以根据辅助信息确定终端设备所期望的配置,从而第一网络设备可以调整终端设备的一些配置,例如调整空口配置,从而使得终端设备的配置能够满足终端设备的期望。那么第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送调整信息,调整信息就用于调整终端设备的配置,从而终端设备接收调整信息后就可以调整相应的配置。可见,在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送相应的辅助信息,从而第一网络设备可以为终端设备调整相应的配置。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第五种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第六种可能的实施方式中,所述辅助信息包括如下的一种或它们的任意组合;

终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息,且第二网络设备可以将对应于第一网络设备的能力信息再发送给第一网络设备,从而第一网络设备也能获得终端设备的能力信息。例如第一网络设备是LTE网络设备,第二网络设备是NR网络设备,那么NR网络设备可以支持一些LTE网络设备所无法支持的新能力。而终端设备的版本在不断演进,因此高版本的终端设备可能也能够支持这些新能力。但是目前规定,终端设备只能向主网络设备发送辅助信息,不能向辅网络设备发送辅助信息。而LTE***由于不支持这些能力,所以并未提供用于终端设备发送这些新能力的消息,从而终端设备无法将这些新能力的信息发送给LTE网络设备。相当于,终端设备无法将新能力的信息发送给所连接的任一个网络设备。鉴于此,在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以将终端设备的能力信息都发送给第二网络设备,例如终端设备就可以采用第二网络设备所提供的消息的格式将终端设备的能力信息发送给第二网络设备,第二网络设备可以再将对应于第一网络设备的能力信息(例如第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息)发送给第一网络设备。例如第二网络设备可能无法识别第一子能力信息,那么第二网络设备可以将第一子能力信息透传给第一网络设备,而无需识别第一子能力信息,而第一子能力信息就可能包括一些新能力的信息。通过本申请实施例提供的方式,第一网络设备能够获得终端设备支持的一些新能力的信息,从而可以更好地调度终端设备。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第一方面的第七种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第一方面的第八种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备向第二网络设备发送请求消息,所述请求消息用于请求建立用于所述终端设备与所述第一网络设备之间通信的所述SRB3,所述第二网络设备为所述至少两个网络设备中的主网络设备;所述终端设备接收来自所述第二网络设备的第一消息,所述第一消息用于为所述终端设备建立所述SRB3或用于为所述终端设备配置SRB3。
如果终端设备和第一网络设备之间事先并未建立SRB3,那么终端设备可以请求第二网络设备建立SRB3,以供终端设备和第一网络设备之间的通信。在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以主动请求建立SRB3,而不必被动等待第二网络设备建立SRB3,终端设备的主动性较强。
第二方面,提供第二种通信方法,该方法包括:第一网络设备接收终端设备的辅助信息,所述辅助信息用于指示所述终端设备所期望的配置或终端设备的业务信息,所述终端设备连接至少两个网络设备,所述第一网络设备为所述至少两个网络设备中的辅网络设备。
该方法可由第二通信装置执行,第二通信装置可以是通信设备或能够支持通信设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,例如芯片***。示例性地,所述通信设备为网络设备。示例性地,所述网络设备为第一网络设备。
在本申请实施例中,作为辅网络设备的第一网络设备也能够获得终端设备的辅助信息,从而第一网络设备也能对终端设备进行相应的配置。例如辅助信息包括终端设备的过热信 息等,那么第一网络设备也能获得终端设备的过热信息,从而可以对终端设备进行相应的配置,而不至于使终端设备释放第一网络设备,尽量保证终端设备的传输性能。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的第一种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述第一网络设备根据所述辅助信息确定调整信息,并通过SRB3向所述终端设备发送所述调整信息,所述调整信息用于调整所述终端设备的配置或所述终端设备的业务信息。

结合第二方面或第二方面的第一种可能的实施方式至第二方面的第二种可能的实施方式中的任一种可能的实施方式,在第二方面的第三种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述第一网络设备向所述终端设备发送第一配置信息,所述第一配置信息用于指示所述终端设备能够通过所述SRB3向所述第一网络设备发送所述终端设备的辅助信息。
例如在第一网络设备获取辅助信息之前,可以先向终端设备发送第一配置信息,指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,终端设备接收第一配置信息后,就可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。通过事先指示,使得终端设备能够明确相应的行为。

为了使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例作进一步地详细描述。
以下,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)终端设备,包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如可以包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的处理设备。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与核心网进行通信,与RAN交换语音和/或数据。该终端设备可以包括用户设备(user equipment,UE)、无线终端设备、移动终端设备、设备到设备通信(device-to-device,D2D)终端设备、车到一切(vehicle-to-everything,V2X)终端设备、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine/machine-type communications,M2M/MTC)终端设备、物联网(internet of things,IoT)终端设备、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station),移动站(mobile station)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point,AP)、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、或用户装备(user device)等。例如,可以包括移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话),具有移动终端设备的计算机,便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的移动装置等。例如,个人通信业务(personal communication service,PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、等设备。还包括受限设备,例如功耗较低的设备,或存储能力有限的设备,或计算能力有限的设备等。例如包括条码、射频识别(radio frequency identification,RFID)、传感器、全球定位***(global positioning system,GPS)、激光扫描器等信息传感设备。
作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设 备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
而如上介绍的各种终端设备,如果位于车辆上(例如放置在车辆内或安装在车辆内),都可以认为是车载终端设备,车载终端设备例如也称为车载单元(on-board unit,OBU)。
2)网络设备,例如包括接入网(access network,AN)设备,例如基站(例如,接入点),可以是指接入网中在空口通过一个或多个小区与无线终端设备通信的设备,或者例如,一种V2X技术中的网络设备为路侧单元(road side unit,RSU)。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(IP)分组进行相互转换,作为终端设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器,其中接入网的其余部分可包括IP网络。RSU可以是支持车到一切(vehicle-to-everything,V2X)应用的固定基础设施实体,可以与支持V2X应用的其他实体交换消息。接入网设备还可协调对空口的属性管理。例如,接入网设备可以包括LTE***或高级长期演进(long term evolution-advanced,LTE-A)中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB,evolutional Node B),或者也可以包括5G NR***中的下一代节点B(next generation node B,gNB)或者也可以包括云接入网(cloud radio access network,Cloud RAN)***中的集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit,DU),本申请实施例并不限定。
当然网络设备还可以包括核心网设备,但因为本申请实施例提供的技术方案主要涉及的是接入网设备,因此在后文中,如无特殊说明,则后文所描述的“网络设备”均是指接入网设备。
3)多无线双连接(multi-radio dual connectivity,MR-DC)。
在LTE***中,终端设备支持同时接入到两个网络设备,这种接入方式称为DC,其中一个网络设备为主网络设备,另一个网络设备为辅网络设备。在无线通信***的发展演进过程中,运营商会同时部署5G NR***和LTE***,终端设备也支持同时接入到LTE的网络设备和NR的网络设备。因为LTE又被称为演进的通用陆面无线接入(evolved universal terrestrial radio access,E-UTRA),所以这种接入方式被称为EN-DC。在EN-DC模式下,LTE的网络设备为主网络设备,NR的网络设备为辅网络设备,当然随着***的演进,未来也可以支持新空口与演进的通用陆面无线接入双连接(NR E-UTRA dual connectivity,NE-DC),即NR的网络设备为主网络设备,LTE的网络设备为辅网络设备。对于NR***内的两个网络设备,也可以组成NR-NR DC,即主网络设备和辅网络设备均为NR网络设备。EN-DC(包括连接4G核心网EN-DC以及5G核心网的EN-DC)、NE-DC和NR-NR DC这些DC模式等被统称为MR-DC。
4)终端设备的能力,也可以理解为是终端设备的接入能力,可通过终端设备的能力信息体现。其中,如果终端设备通过UE实现,那么终端设备的能力信息也可以称为UE能力信息,或者也可以称为UE接入能力(access capability)。终端设备的能力信息例如包括:分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)参数、物理层参数、射频参数、测量参数等,其中射频能力又可以包括终端设备支持的频带组合(band combination),以及终端设备在这些频带组合的载波上支持的调制方式,多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)能力,带宽,子载波间隔(SCS)等。频带组合是指终端设备可以同时工作的频带以及这些频带上的载波组合。当然,上述能力参数或能力信息为示例的能力参数或能力信息,终端设备的能力信息可以包括上述能力参数中的一个或者多个、以及上述能力信息中的一个或者多个,具体完整的能力信息本申请实施例在此不多赘述。
另外,终端设备发送给网络设备的能力信息,可以包含该终端设备的多种无线接入技术的能力信息。其中,终端设备如果支持一种无线接入技术,就会有对应于该无线接入技术的能力信息,该能力信息就是终端设备的该种无线接入技术的能力信息,或者理解为,终端设备的一种无线接入技术的能力信息,是终端设备工作在一种无线接入技术下时具有的能力信息。或者也可以将终端设备的一种无线接入技术的能力信息描述为,终端设备在一种无线接入技术下的能力信息。无线接入技术例如包括:NR、LTE、LTE-NR,通用移动通信***陆地无线接入技术(UMTS terrestrial radio access,UTRA)、增强型数据速率GSM演进无线接入技术(GSM EDGE radio access network,GERAN)、及码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)2000-1XRTT中的至少一种,还可能包括其他的无线接入技术。其中LTE-NR的能力包括终端设备工作使用LTE技术和NR技术同时工作时分别在LTE侧和NR侧支持的能力。
5)“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
以及,除非有相反的说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如,第一信息和第二信息,只是为了区分不同的信令,而并不是表示这两种信息的内容、优先级、发送顺序或者重要程度等的不同。
如上介绍了本申请实施例涉及的一些概念,下面介绍本申请实施例的技术特征。
目前,LTE***提供了较好的覆盖。在运营商进行网络升级和布网等过程中,先期很有可能采用非独立组网(non-standalone,NSA)的布网方式,即,通过部署一些NR基站,通过3X架构,使得NR基站可以提供数据面的热点服务。在3X架构下,所连接的核心网是演进型分组核心网(evolved packet core,EPC),请参考图1A和图1B,为3X架构的示意图。
图1A为3X架构的控制面结构。其中移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)为核心网中的控制单元,MME通过S1-MME接口与主节点(master node,MN)之间传递控制信令,为了便于理解,可以将主节点理解为主基站。主基站为主eNB(master eNB,MeNB),MeNB再通过X2接口与作为辅节点(secondary node,SN)的gNB之间传递控制信令。同样为了便于理解,可以将辅节点理解为辅基站。
图1B为3X架构的数据面结构。其中服务网关(serving gateway,S-GW)为核心网中的网关单元。由于gNB相对于eNB来讲具有较为强大的空口能力,因此在数据面,S-GW通过S1-U接口直接连接gNB,以向gNB发送数据,gNB再通过X2接口连接MeNB,从 而可以将从S-GW接收的数据传输给MeNB。
在NR***中,目前也同意了NR基站和NR基站之间做双连接,便于给终端设备提供更好的覆盖以及更大的吞吐量,这种双连接的结构可以称为NR-NR DC。对于EN-DC以及NR-NR DC,控制面均在主基站下,辅基站主要工作在数据面。但主基站也可以为辅基站配置SRB3,从而辅基站也可以通过SRB3对终端设备进行一些相应的配置。目前,辅基站通过SRB3一般可以为终端设备进行测量配置、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层的配置、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层的配置、物理层(PHY)的配置、无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)的定时器(timer)的配置以及辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)的配置等。其中,RLF的定时器的配置是指,如果终端设备认为与辅基站之间的无线链路失败(例如终端设备在该定时器超时时也未接收来自辅基站的数据包),则终端设备可以发送失败信息。同样的,终端设备也可以通过SRB3向辅基站发送失败信息(failure information)、测量报告或无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)重配置完成消息等。其中失败信息例如为,终端设备对于来自辅基站的数据包的完整性验证失败,则可以通过SRB3向辅基站发送失败信息。
例如请参考图2A,在EN-DC架构下,作为主基站的LTE基站可以通过Uu接口向终端设备发送RRC消息。而主基站也可以通过X2接口与作为辅基站的NR基站交互,例如可以为辅基站建立SRB3,则辅基站也可以通过Uu接口向终端设备发送RRC消息。其中,主基站与核心网设备之间的接口为S1接口。
或者请参考图2B,在NR-NR DC架构下,作为主基站的NR基站可以通过Uu接口向终端设备发送RRC消息。而主基站也可以通过X2接口与作为辅基站的另一个NR基站交互,例如可以为辅基站建立SRB3,则辅基站也可以通过Uu接口向终端设备发送RRC消息。其中,主基站与核心网设备之间的接口为NG-C接口。
在EN-DC架构下,作为主基站的LTE基站可以通过SRB1向终端设备下发配置,例如配置终端设备上报终端设备的辅助信息,以帮助LTE基站根据终端设备的辅助信息了解终端设备的状况,从而更好地调度终端设备。终端设备的辅助信息例如包括终端设备的过热信息,过热信息例如包括终端设备倾向于减少终端设备的上下行辅小区数,或终端设备所倾向的上下行能力集合等。终端设备向LTE基站发送辅助信息,便于LTE基站在终端设备发生过热问题时可以指示终端设备释放一些资源。
目前在EN-DC架构下,终端设备只能向作为主基站的LTE基站发送终端设备的辅助信息,LTE基站在接收终端设备的辅助信息后可以做出决策。例如终端设备向LTE基站发送了过热信息,那么LTE基站可能做出的一种决策为,令终端设备释放与作为辅基站的NR基站之间的连接,使得终端设备改为工作在单连接的结构下。终端设备工作在单连接的结构下之后,只能从LTE基站接收数据,而无法再从NR基站接收数据。这会影响终端设备的吞吐量。而且根据前文的介绍可知,在3X架构下,NR基站是直接从核心网接收数据的,NR基站所拥有的数据量较大,且NR基站的空口能力较强,如果终端设备与NR基站之间具有连接,则终端设备可以接收大量的来自NR基站的数据。但是如果终端设备释放了NR基站,则终端设备只能接收来自LTE基站的数据,显然对于终端设备来说,传输性能下降较为明显。
而对于NR-NR DC架构来说,因为是全新的架构,因此终端设备究竟如何向网络设备 发送辅助信息,还尚未讨论。
鉴于此,提供本申请实施例的技术方案。在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以通过SRB3向作为辅网络设备的第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,例如辅助信息可以包括终端设备的过热信息,那么相当于辅网络设备也能获得终端设备的过热信息,从而辅网络设备可以对终端设备进行相应的配置,不至于使终端设备释放与辅网络设备之间的连接,从而有助于提高终端设备的传输性能。
本申请实施例应用的场景为终端设备工作在双连接模式下,例如为EN-DC模式,或者为NR-NR DC模式。其中终端设备同时接入到双连接模式下的主网络设备和辅网络设备。需要说明的是,主网络设备和辅网络设备可以部署在同一个站点上,如图3、图4A和图4B所示。其中,图4A和图4B是对于网络设备和终端设备的硬件结构的示意,区别是,终端设备对于LTE和NR是采用同一套收发器还是不同的收发器。或者,主网络设备和辅网络设备也可以部署在不同的站点上,如图5、图6A和图6B所示。其中,图5是对于网络设备和终端设备的硬件结构的示意。并且,当主网络设备和辅网络设备部署在同一个站点上时,主网络设备和辅网络设备可以共享同一套硬件设备,如图4A或图4B所示,为主网络设备和辅网络设备共享部分硬件设备的示意图,图4A或图4B中,主网络设备和辅网络设备可以共享收发器。或者,当主网络设备和辅网络设备部署在同一个站点上时,主网络设备和辅网络设备也可以分别使用不同的硬件设备。
下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
本申请实施例提供第一种通信方法,请参见图7,为该方法的流程图。在下文的介绍过程中,以该方法应用于图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构为例。另外,该方法可由三个通信装置执行,这三个通信装置例如为第一通信装置、第二通信装置和第三通信装置,其中,第一通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者第一通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片***。第二通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者第二通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片***。对于第三通信装置也是同样,第三通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者第三通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片***。且对于第一通信装置、第二通信装置和第三通信装置的实现方式均不做限制,例如第一通信装置可以是网络设备,第二通信装置是网络设备,第三通信装置是终端设备,或者第一通信装置、第二通信装置和第三通信装置都是网络设备,或者第一通信装置、第二通信装置和第三通信装置都是终端设备,或者第一通信装置是网络设备,第二通信装置是网络设备,第三通信装置是能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的芯片***,等等。其中,网络设备例如为基站。
为了便于介绍,在下文中,以该方法由网络设备和终端设备执行为例,也就是说,以第一通信装置是网络设备(在下文中也称为第一网络设备)、第二通信装置是网络设备(在下文中也称为第二网络设备)、第三通信装置是终端设备为例。因为本实施例是以应用在图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构为例,因此,下文 中所述的终端设备可以是图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构中的终端设备。另外,下文中所述的第一网络设备可以是图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构中的辅网络设备,下文中所述的第二网络设备可以是图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构中的主网络设备。且,如果是EN-DC架构,则主网络设备是LTE网络设备,辅网络设备是NR网络设备,或者,如果是NR-NR DC架构,则主网络设备和辅网络设备都是NR网络设备。
S701、终端设备向第二网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的终端设备的能力信息。
终端设备的能力信息可以包括对应于第一网络设备的第一子能力信息、对应于第二网络设备的第二子能力信息、以及对应于第一网络设备和第二网络设备的第三子能力信息。以EN-DC架构为例,则第一子能力信息是终端设备的NR能力信息,第二子能力信息是终端设备的LTE能力信息,第三子能力信息则是终端设备的EN-DC能力信息。终端设备的EN-DC能力信息,可以是指终端设备在EN-DC下的能力信息的组合。这里所述的能力信息的组合,是用来表达终端设备在两个网络设备对应的无线接入技术同时工作时所支持的组合的能力。例如,终端设备在第一网络设备对应的无线接入技术下支持频带组合1,在第二网络设备对应的无线接入技术下支持频带组合2,则第一能力信息包括的一个能力信息的组合可以是频带组合1和频带组合2。
NR网络设备相较于LTE网络设备来说,可以支持一些新的能力或特性,例如节电(power saving)等能力。而终端设备的版本也在不断演进,例如对于版本(Rel)16的终端设备来说,也能支持这些新的特性。而这些特性是需要终端设备与NR网络设备相配合才能发挥作用,例如NR网络可以给终端设备配置针对该新特性的相关信息上报,进而终端设备可以向NR网络设备发送有关新特性的相关信息,以供NR网络设备帮助终端设备节能。而这些新的特性的信息也都属于终端设备的辅助信息,在EN-DC架构下,终端设备只能向主网络设备发送辅助信息,而不能向辅网络设备发送辅助信息。而主网络设备是LTE网络设备,由于LTE***并不支持这些新特性,因此LTE***也并未提供用于供终端设备向LTE发送这些新特性的消息,所以终端设备无法向LTE网络设备发送这些新特性的信息。因此在EN-DC架构下,终端设备无法向所连接的任何一个网络设备发送终端设备所具有的新特性的信息,从而导致终端设备无法享受到这些新特性。在本申请的各个实施例中,新特性,也可以称为新能力。
鉴于此,在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以终端设备的能力信息发送给第二网络设备,终端设备的能力信息就可以包括终端设备所支持的一些新能力的信息。例如终端设备将第一子能力信息、第二子能力信息和第三子能力信息都发送给第二网络设备。而其中的第一子能力信息是对应于第一网络设备的,其中的第三子能力信息也与第一网络设备有关,因此第二网络设备可以将第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息发送给第一网络设备,则第一网络设备可以接收来自第二网络设备的第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息,这样,第一网络设备就获得了终端设备的能力信息。当第一网络设备与第二网络设备为同一通信***时,如NR-NR DC的情况下,第一子能力信息与第二子能力信息是同一能力信息,即可以理解为终端设备只发送第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息给第二网络设备,第二网络设备再将第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息发送给第一网络设备。图7所示的S701就包括终端设备 向第二网络设备发送能力信息的过程,以及包括第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息的过程。
例如对于EN-DC架构来说,第二网络设备来说不支持第一子能力信息,因此可能也无法识别第一子能力信息,那么在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以为第一子能力信息添加标识,从而第二网络设备只需将第一子能力信息透传给第一网络设备即可,无需进行识别。例如终端设备可以为第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息添加标识,该标识用于指示第一网络设备,从而第二网络设备接收第一子能力信息、第二子能力信息和第三子能力信息后,可以将第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息发送给第一网络设备。通过这种方式,使得终端设备实现了能力信息的上报,也使得第一网络设备能够获知终端设备所支持的一些新的能力的信息,从而第一网络设备可以就这些新能力与终端设备进行交互,使得终端设备能够享受到新能力带来的技术提升。
S702、第一网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的配置信息。该配置信息用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。
在S701中介绍了,第二网络设备接收终端设备的能力信息后,可以将第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息都发送给第一网络设备,那么第一网络设备接收第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息后,可以确定终端设备的能力。例如第一网络设备认为终端设备具有一些第一网络设备所支持的新的能力,那么第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送配置信息,以配置终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。例如第一网络设备可以通过SRB3向终端设备发送配置信息,则终端设备通过SRB3接收来自第一网络设备的配置信息。
在现有技术中,SRB3是不能传输终端设备的辅助信息的,但本申请实施例令SRB3能够传输终端设备的辅助信息,从而终端设备可以将辅助信息发送给第一网络设备,使得第一网络设备能够对终端设备进行相应的配置。例如终端设备可以将过热信息发送给第一网络设备,从而第一网络设备可以配置终端设备进行相应的资源释放,而不至于使终端设备释放与第一网络设备之间的连接,从而保证终端设备的吞吐量,提高终端设备的传输性能。
作为一种可选的实施方式,配置信息除了指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息之外,还可以包括第一时间信息。例如配置信息包括第一信息和第一时间信息,第一信息就用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。
第一时间信息例如为定时器的信息,或者为第一时刻的信息,或者为第一时长的信息等。第一时间信息可以用于指示,终端设备能够在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围内通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这也就表明第一时间信息隐含指示了,在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围之外,终端设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这相当于给终端设备通过SRB3发送辅助信息添加了时间限制,终端设备只能在规定的时间内通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这种方式便于第二网络设备进行管理。
例如第一时间信息为定时器的信息。则终端设备接收配置信息后可以开启定时器,在该定时器超时之前,终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在该定时器超时时以及超时之后,终端设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。或者,第一时间信息为第一时刻的信息。则终端设备从接收配置信息开始,直到第一时刻到来之前, 都可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一时刻到来后,终端设备不能再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。或者,第一时间信息为第一时长的信息。则终端设备可以从接收配置信息开始计时,直到第一时长的结束时刻到来之前,都可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一一时长的结束时刻到来后,终端设备不能再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
或者,第一时间信息可以用于指示,终端设备在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息后,在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围内不能再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。这也就表明第一时间信息隐含指示了,终端设备在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息后,在第一时间信息所指示的时间范围之外,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。通过这种方式,可以避免终端设备频繁向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,减轻第一网络设备的负担。
例如第一时间信息为定时器的信息。则终端设备在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息后可以开启定时器,在该定时器超时之前,终端设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在该定时器超时时以及超时之后,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。或者,第一时间信息为第一时刻的信息。则终端设备在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息完成开始,直到第一时刻到来之前,都不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一时刻到来后,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。或者,第一时间信息为第一时长的信息。则终端设备可以在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息完成后开始计时,直到第一时长的结束时刻到来之前,都不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一一时长的结束时刻到来后,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
作为一种可选的实施方式,配置信息除了指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息之外,还可以包括辅助信息对应的至少一个参数的信息。例如配置信息包括第一信息和至少一个参数的信息,第一信息就用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。配置信息可以指示上报辅助信息中包括哪些参数信息,如针对具有节电和过热特性的终端设备,配置信息只指示上报关于节电的相关辅助信息对应的至少一个参数的信息,或者上报关于过热的相关辅助信息对应的至少一个参数的信息,或者上报节电和过热的相关辅助信息对应的至少一个参数的信息。例如,可以将辅助信息进行分类,例如辅助信息包括第一类信息和第二类信息,第一类信息例如为与过热相关的信息,第二类信息例如为与节电相关的信息。那么,配置信息可以包括比特映射(bitmap),该bitmap例如包括2比特,这2个比特与辅助信息包括的两类信息一一对应。那么,如果有1个比特取值为“1”,则表明至少一个参数包括该比特所对应的一类信息对应的参数,或者,如果有1个比特取值为“0”,则表明至少一个参数不包括该比特所对应的一类信息对应的参数。例如,bitmap包括2比特,其中的低位比特对应于第一类型信息,高位比特对应于第二类信息。那么,如果这2比特的取值为“11”,就表明至少一个参数包括第一类信息对应的参数和第二类信息对应的参数,则终端设备在发送辅助信息时,需要发送第一类信息对应的参数的取值和第二类信息对应的参数的取值。针对某一特性,如过热特性,配置信息也可以指示只上报该特性中的某些参数信息,也可以通过类似比特映射的形式指示哪些参数信息需要上报。
例如,配置信息可以包括第一信息,另外还可以包括第一时间信息或至少一个参数的信息中的至少一种。例如,配置信息包括第一信息,或者,配置信息包括第一信息和第一时间信息,或者,配置信息包括第一信息和至少一个参数的信息,或者,配置信息包括第一信息、第一时间信息和至少一个参数的信息。
S702是以第一网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息为例,或者,还有可能是第二网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,也就是如下的S703。
S703、第二网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的配置信息。该配置信息用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。
其中,S702和S703可以选择其中一个执行即可,究竟执行哪一个,可以通过协议规定。
例如,第二网络设备可以根据终端设备的能力信息,确定终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,则第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送配置信息。或者,第二网络设备也可以根据其他的因素确定终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,例如第二网络设备也可以周期性配置终端设备通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息等,对于第二网络设备确定终端设备是否能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息的方式不做限制。当然,第二网络设备发送给终端设备的配置信息还可以包括主网络设备给终端设备的其他一些配置,具体的不做限制。
关于配置信息的介绍可参考S702,不多赘述。
S704、终端设备通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,第一网络设备通过SRB3接收来自终端设备的辅助信息。
终端设备在接收配置信息后,就可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。终端设备的辅助信息例如包括终端设备所期望的配置,或包括终端设备的业务信息,或包括终端设备所期望的配置以及终端设备的业务信息。其中,终端设备的业务信息,例如包括终端设备正在进行的业务的参数,例如终端设备正在进行的业务的类型或该业务所需要的带宽等。终端设备所期望的配置,例如为终端设备所期望的空口配置,例如终端设备所期望的时隙格式等。
例如,终端设备的辅助信息可以包括如下的一种或它们的任意组合:
终端设备的多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)层数;
终端设备对应的辅小区的数量;
终端设备的天线端口数;
终端设备对应的辅小区(secondary serving cell,SCell)组的聚合带宽;
终端设备对应的每个辅小区的带宽;
终端设备支持的最大带宽;
终端设备期望的连接态下的非连续接收(connected-discontinuous reception,C-DRX)配置或参数;
终端设备期望的带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)配置或参数;
终端设备的应用类型;
终端设备的传输的数据包大小;
终端设备期望的调度模式;
终端设备期望的搜索空间;
终端设备期望的调度格式;或,
终端设备期望的时隙格式。
其中,终端设备对应的辅小区的数量、终端设备的天线端口数、终端设备对应的辅小区组的聚合带宽、或终端设备对应的每个辅小区的带宽等,都可以作为终端设备的过热信息。
当然,终端设备的辅助信息除了可以包括如上的至少一项之外,还可以包括其他的信息,或者,终端设备的辅助信息也可以不包括如上的任意一项,而是包括其他的信息,具体的不做限制。
其中,如果配置信息还包括第一时间信息,且第一时间信息指示终端设备能够在第一时间信息指示的时间范围内通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,则终端设备可以在第一时间信息指示的时间范围内通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一时间信息指示的时间范围之外,终端设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。或者,如果第一时间信息指示终端设备在通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息后,在第一时间信息指示的时间范围内不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,则终端设备在执行S704后,在第一时间信息指示的时间范围内不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一时间信息指示的时间范围之外,终端设备还是可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
如果配置信息还包括至少一个参数的信息,那么终端设备在S704中发送给网络设备的辅助信息可以是至少一个参数的取值。
例如,至少一个参数包括终端设备的MIMO层数、终端设备对应的辅小区的数量、终端设备的天线端口数以及终端设备期望的调度格式,那么终端设备在S704中发送给网络设备的辅助信息就包括终端设备的MIMO层数、终端设备对应的辅小区的数量、终端设备的天线端口数以及终端设备期望的调度格式。
通过这种方式,第一网络设备可以获得所需要的辅助信息,从而更好地对终端设备进行配置。
其中,终端设备发送给第一网络设备的辅助信息,可以只包括第一网络设备相关的信息,而不包括第二网络设备相关的信息,或者,也可以包括第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息。例如,第一网络设备可以事先通知终端设备,只向第一网络设备发送第一网络设备相关的信息;或者通知终端设备,如果终端设备向第一网络设备发送第二网络设备相关的信息,则第一网络设备会忽略;或者通知终端设备,如果终端设备向第一网络设备发送第二网络设备相关的信息,则第一网络设备会等待与第二网络设备进行协商。或者,第一网络设备也可以事先通知终端设备,向第一网络设备发送第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息。或者,终端设备究竟是向第一网络设备发送第一网络设备相关的信息,还是发送第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息,也可以通过协议规定。
例如,在现有技术中,如果终端设备要向网络设备发送终端设备对应的辅小区的数量,则发送的是对应于第一网络设备的辅小区数量和对应于第二网络设备的辅小区数量的总和,例如终端设备向网络设备发送的终端设备对应的辅小区的数量为10,则这10个辅小区中可 能包括第一网络设备对应的辅小区和第二网络设备对应的辅小区。如果终端设备将这样的辅助信息发送给第一网络设备,则由于牵涉到第二网络设备,因此第一网络设备可能对此并没有调度决策权。因此在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以只向第一网络设备发送第一网络设备相关的信息,例如,终端设备可以只将第一网络设备对应的辅小区的数量发送给第一网络设备,从而第一网络设备可以进行决策。
另外,如果终端设备通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送了第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息,那么第一网络设备在接收第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息后,可以将第二网络设备相关的信息再发送给第二网络设备,则第二网络设备可以接收来自第一网络设备的第二网络设备相关的信息。从而终端设备无需再向第二网络设备发送第二网络设备相关的信息,减少终端设备与网络设备之间的交互。
在S704中,是以终端设备通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息为例,或者还有可能,终端设备也可以将辅助信息发送给第二网络设备,可参考S705。
S705、终端设备第二网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的辅助信息。
其中,S704和S705可以选择其中一个执行即可,究竟执行哪一个,可以通过协议规定,如SRB3存在时可执行S704,而SRB3不存在时可执行S705。
例如,如果执行的是S703,则可以执行S704或S705,或者,如果执行的是S702,同样的既可以执行S704,也可以执行S705。
例如终端设备可以通过SRB1向第二网络设备发送辅助信息。例如终端设备发送给第二网络设备的辅助信息可以只包括第二网络设备相关的信息,而不包括第一网络设备相关的信息,或者也可以包括第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息。
其中,如果辅助信息包括第一网络设备相关的信息(或者说,是对应于第一网络设备的辅助信息)和第二网络设备相关的信息(或者说,是对应于第二网络设备的辅助信息),则第二网络设备接收辅助信息后,可以再将第一网络设备相关的信息发送给第一网络设备,第一网络设备可以接收来自第二网络设备的第一网络设备相关的信息,从而第一网络设备可以获得终端设备的辅助信息。图7中的S705包括终端设备向第二网络设备发送辅助信息的过程,也包括第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送辅助信息的过程,其中,第二网络设备发送给第一网络设备的辅助信息可以是对应于第一网络设备的辅助信息。
可以理解为,终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送第二网络设备相关的信息,以及可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送第一网络设备相关的信息,相当于终端设备可以分别将不同的网络设备相关的辅助信息发送给对应的网络设备,无需网络设备之间再转发辅助信息;或者,终端设备可以将辅助信息发送给第一网络设备,辅助信息包括第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息,再由第一网络设备将第二网络设备相关的信息发送给第二网络设备;或者,终端设备可以将辅助信息发送给第二网络设备,辅助信息包括第一网络设备相关的信息和第二网络设备相关的信息,再由第二网络设备将第一网络设备相关的信息发送给第一网络设备。在后面的两种方式中,终端设备都只需与一个网络设备交互即可,减少了终端设备与网络设备之间的交互过程。
S706、第一网络设备通过SRB3向终端设备发送调整信息,终端设备通过SRB3接收来自第一网络设备的调整信息。
第一网络设备在获得终端设备的辅助信息后,可以根据辅助信息确定如何调整终端设备的配置。例如,辅助信息包括终端设备期望的时隙格式,则第一网络设备可以为终端设备配置该时隙格式。本申请实施例对于第一网络设备究竟如何根据辅助信息确定调整信息不做限制。或者,第一网络设备也可以根据其他因素确定调整信息,具体的不做限制。
第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送调整信息,终端设备接收该调整信息后,就可以调整终端设备的配置。
在本申请实施例如前的介绍中,是以第一网络设备和终端设备之间已经建立了SRB3为前提的。第一网络设备和终端设备之间的SRB3,可以是第二网络设备主动建立的,或者还有可能,终端设备或第一网络设备也可以主动请求建立SRB3。
例如,第一网络设备如果确定可以通过SRB3与终端设备进行一些交互,例如第一网络设备是根据终端设备的能力信息(例如包括第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息)或其他的因素确定可以通过SRB3与终端设备进行一些交互,则第一网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送请求消息,该请求消息用于请求建立用于第一网络设备与终端设备之间通信的SRB3。第二网络设备接收该请求消息后,可以决策是否为第一网络设备和终端设备建立SRB3。之后,第二网络设备可以向第一网络设备发送第一消息,则第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的第一消息,第一消息例如可以用于建立SRB3,或者第一消息可以用于配置SRB3,或者,第一消息也可以指示无法建立SRB3。那么,如果第一消息用于建立SRB3,则第一网络设备可以根据第一消息建立SRB3,或者,如果第一消息用于配置SRB3,则第一网络设备可以根据第一消息配置SRB3,而“建立SRB3”和“配置SRB3”,可以理解为相同的含义。在建立SRB3后,就可以执行如上的S702~S705。或者,如果第一消息用于指示无法建立SRB3,则第一网络设备可以确定无法建立SRB3,则如上的S702~S705都无法执行。
或者,请求建立SRB3,该操作也可以由终端设备执行。例如,终端设备在向第二网络设备发送能力信息之前,或者也可以在向第二网络设备发送能力信息之后,可以向第二网络设备发送请求消息,用于请求建立与第一网络设备之间的SRB3。例如,终端设备根据终端设备的能力信息确定终端设备能够与第一网络设备交互一些新的能力信息,则终端设备就可以向第二网络设备发送请求消息,以请求建立与第一网络设备之间的SRB3。同样的,第二网络设备接收该请求消息后,可以决策是否为第一网络设备和终端设备建立SRB3。之后,第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送第一消息,则终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的第一消息,第一消息例如可以用于建立SRB3,或者第一消息可以用于配置SRB3,或者,第一消息也可以指示无法建立SRB3。那么,如果第一消息用于建立SRB3,则终端设备可以根据第一消息建立SRB3,或者,如果第一消息用于配置SRB3,则终端设备可以根据第一消息配置SRB3,而“建立SRB3”和“配置SRB3”,可以理解为相同的含义。在建立SRB3后,就可以执行如上的S702~S705。或者,如果第一消息用于指示无法建立SRB3,则终端设备可以确定无法建立SRB3,则如上的S702~S705都无法执行。
无论是由第一网络设备发起请求还是由终端设备发起请求,作为一种可选的方式,如果第一消息用于指示无法建立SRB3,则第一消息还可以携带第二时间信息,第二时间信息可以指示,禁止在第二时间信息指示的时间范围内请求建立SRB3。相当于第二网络设备通过第二时间信息指示第一网络设备,在第二时间信息所指示的时间范围内,不要再请求建立SRB3,通过这种方式可以避免第一网络设备频繁向第二网络设备发起请求,减轻第二网 络设备的负担。
例如第二时间信息为定时器的信息。则终端设备接收第一消息后可以开启定时器,在该定时器超时之前,终端设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在该定时器超时时以及超时之后,终端设备可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
或者,第一时间信息为第一时刻的信息。则终端设备从接收第一消息开始,直到第一时刻到来之前,都不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一时刻到来后,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
或者,第一时间信息为第一时长的信息。则终端设备可以从接收第一消息开始计时,直到第一时长的结束时刻到来之前,都不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一一时长的结束时刻到来后,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
另外在本申请实施例中,在S701之前,如果第一网络设备和第二网络设备还未形成双连接的结构,那么,如果第二网络设备认为可以将第一网络设备作为辅网络设备,则第二网络设备可以向第一网络设备发送请求消息,第一网络设备可以接收来自第二网络设备的请求消息,该请求消息用于请求第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备。第一网络设备在接收请求消息后,可以向第二网络设备发送响应消息,第二网络设备可以接收来自第一网络设备的响应消息,该响应消息用于指示第一网络设备同意第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备,或用于指示第一网络设备不同意第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备。那么,如果该响应消息用于指示第一网络设备同意第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备,则第二网络设备可以向第一网络设备发送第二配置信息,用于配置第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备,从而第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以构成双连接的结构。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以通过SRB3向作为辅网络设备的第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,例如辅助信息可以包括终端设备的过热信息,那么相当于辅网络设备也能获得终端设备的过热信息,从而辅网络设备可以对终端设备进行相应的配置,不至于使终端设备释放与辅网络设备之间的连接,从而有助于提高终端设备的传输性能。
图7所示的实施例中,认为第一网络设备和终端设备之间已经建立了SRB3。而还有可能,第一网络设备和终端设备之间并未建立SRB3,目前只能等待第二网络设备主动为第一网络设备和终端设备建立SRB3。在这种情况下,当第一网络设备和终端设备之间有信息需要传输时,如果未建立SRB3,则无法传输。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供第二种通信方法,通过这种方法,使得第一网络设备或终端设备可以主动请求建立SRB3。请参见图8,为该方法的流程图。在下文的介绍过程中,以该方法应用于图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构为例。另外,该方法可由三个通信装置执行,这两个通信装置例如为第四通信装置、第五通信装置和第六通信装置,其中,第四通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者第四通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片***。第五通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者第五通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片***。对于第六通信装置也是同样,第六通信装置可以是网 络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者第六通信装置可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片***。且对于第四通信装置、第五通信装置和第六通信装置的实现方式均不做限制,例如第四通信装置可以是网络设备,第五通信装置是网络设备,第六通信装置是终端设备,或者第四通信装置、第五通信装置和第六通信装置都是网络设备,或者第四通信装置、第五通信装置和第六通信装置都是终端设备,或者第四通信装置是能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的芯片***,第五通信装置是网络设备,第六通信装置是终端设备,等等。其中,网络设备例如为基站。
为了便于介绍,在下文中,以该方法由网络设备和终端设备执行为例,也就是说,以第四通信装置是网络设备(在下文中也称为第一网络设备)、第五通信装置是网络设备(在下文中也称为第二网络设备)、第六通信装置是终端设备为例。因为本实施例是以应用在图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构为例,因此,下文中所述的终端设备可以是图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构中的终端设备。另外,下文中所述的第一网络设备可以是图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构中的辅网络设备,下文中所述的第二网络设备可以是图3、图4A、图4B、图5、图6A或图6B中的任一个附图所示的网络架构中的主网络设备。且,如果是EN-DC架构,则主网络设备是LTE网络设备,辅网络设备是NR网络设备,或者,如果是NR-NR DC架构,则主网络设备和辅网络设备都是NR网络设备。
S801、终端设备向第二网络设备发送请求消息,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的请求消息,所述请求消息用于请求建立用于终端设备与第一网络设备之间通信的SRB3。

作为一种可选的方式,如果第一消息用于指示无法建立SRB3,则第一消息还可以携带第二时间信息,第二时间信息可以指示,禁止在第二时间信息指示的时间范围内请求建立SRB3。相当于第二网络设备通过第二时间信息指示终端设备,在第二时间信息所指示的时间范围内,不要再请求建立SRB3,通过这种方式可以避免终端设备频繁向第二网络设备发起请求,减轻第二网络设备的负担。
S803、终端设备根据所述第一消息建立用于与第一网络设备之间通信的SRB3,或根据所述第一消息配置用于与第一网络设备之间通信的SRB3,或根据所述第一消息确定无法建立SRB3。
如果第一消息用于建立SRB3,则终端设备可以根据第一消息建立SRB3,或者,如果 第一消息用于配置SRB3,则终端设备可以根据第一消息配置SRB3,而“建立SRB3”和“配置SRB3”,可以理解为相同的含义。或者,如果第一消息用于指示无法建立SRB3,则终端设备可以确定无法建立SRB3。
另外,如果第一消息还携带了第二时间信息,则终端设备可以确定无法在第二时间信息指示的时间范围内请求建立SRB3,则在第二时间信息所指示的时间范围内,终端设备不会再向第二网络设备请求建立SRB3。
例如第二时间信息为定时器的信息。则终端设备接收第一消息后可以开启定时器,在该定时器超时之前,终端设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在该定时器超时时以及超时之后,终端设备可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
或者,第一时间信息为第一时刻的信息。则终端设备从接收第一消息开始,直到第一时刻到来之前,都不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一时刻到来后,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
或者,第一时间信息为第一时长的信息。则终端设备可以从接收第一消息开始计时,直到第一时长的结束时刻到来之前,都不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一一时长的结束时刻到来后,终端设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
S801~S803,是以终端设备请求建立SRB3为例,而还有可能,SRB3是第一网络设备请求建立的。
S804、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送请求消息,第二网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的请求消息,所述请求消息用于请求建立用于终端设备与第一网络设备之间通信的SRB3。
例如,第一网络设备可以获取终端设备的能力信息,从而根据终端设备的能力信息确定终端设备能够与第一网络设备交互一些新的能力信息,则第一网络设备就可以向第二网络设备发送请求消息,以请求建立与第一网络设备之间的SRB3。
S805、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一消息,第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的所述第一消息。所述第一消息用于建立SRB3,或者用于配置SRB3,或者用于指示无法建立SRB3。
第二网络设备接收第一网络设备的请求消息后,可以决策是否为第一网络设备和终端设备建立SRB3。之后,第二网络设备可以向第一网络设备发送第一消息,则第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的第一消息,第一消息例如可以用于建立SRB3,或者第一消息可以用于配置SRB3,或者,第一消息也可以指示无法建立SRB3。
作为一种可选的方式,如果第一消息用于指示无法建立SRB3,则第一消息还可以携带第二时间信息,第二时间信息可以指示,禁止在第二时间信息指示的时间范围内请求建立SRB3。相当于第二网络设备通过第二时间信息指示第一网络设备,在第二时间信息所指示的时间范围内,不要再请求建立SRB3,通过这种方式可以避免第一网络设备频繁向第二网络设备发起请求,减轻第二网络设备的负担。
S806、第一网络设备根据所述第一消息建立用于与第一网络设备之间通信的SRB3,或根据所述第一消息配置用于与第一网络设备之间通信的SRB3,或根据所述第一消息确定无法建立SRB3。
如果第一消息用于建立SRB3,则第一网络设备可以根据第一消息建立SRB3,或者, 如果第一消息用于配置SRB3,则第一网络设备可以根据第一消息配置SRB3,而“建立SRB3”和“配置SRB3”,可以理解为相同的含义。或者,如果第一消息用于指示无法建立SRB3,则第一网络设备可以确定无法建立SRB3。
另外,如果第一消息还携带了第二时间信息,则第一网络设备可以确定无法在第二时间信息指示的时间范围内请求建立SRB3,则在第二时间信息所指示的时间范围内,第一网络设备不会再向第二网络设备请求建立SRB3。
例如第二时间信息为定时器的信息。则第一网络设备接收第一消息后可以开启定时器,在该定时器超时之前,第一网络设备不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在该定时器超时时以及超时之后,第一网络设备可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。
或者,第一时间信息为第一时刻的信息。则第一网络设备从接收第一消息开始,直到第一时刻到来之前,都不能通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息,而在第一时刻到来后,第一网络设备可以再通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送辅助信息。

其中,S801~S803与S804~S806之间可以是并列的方案,究竟执行哪一种方案,可以通过协议规定,或者由第二网络设备配置等。或者,S801~S803和S804~S806也可以都执行。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备或第一网络设备可以主动请求建立SRB3,从而可以在需要传输相应信息时建立SRB3,而不是只能被动等待第二网络设备主动建立SRB3。
S807、终端设备向第二网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的终端设备的能力信息。
关于S807,可参考图7所示的实施例中的S701。图8所示的S807也包括终端设备向第二网络设备发送能力信息的过程,以及包括第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息的过程。
其中,如果执行S801~S803,则S801可以发生在S807之前,或者也可以发生在S807之后;或者,如果执行S804~S806,则S804可以发生在S807之前,或者也可以发生在S807之后。例如,第二网络设备在获得第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息后,确定终端设备能够与第一网络设备交互一些新的能力信息,则第一网络设备就可以向第二网络设备发送请求消息,以请求建立与第一网络设备之间的SRB3。在这种情况下,S804就发生在S807之后。
S808、第一网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的配置信息。该配置信息用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。
在SRB3建立后,第一网络设备可以通过SRB3向终端设备发送配置信息。例如,第一网络设备接收第一子能力信息和第三子能力信息后,可以确定终端设备的能力。例如第一网络设备认为终端设备具有一些第一网络设备所支持的新的能力(或,称为新特性),那么第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送配置信息,以配置终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设 备发送辅助信息。
在现有技术中,SRB3是不能传输终端设备的辅助信息的,但本申请实施例令SRB3能够传输终端设备的辅助信息,从而终端设备可以将辅助信息发送给第一网络设备,使得第一网络设备能够对终端设备进行相应的配置。例如终端设备可以将过热信息发送给第一网络设备,从而第一网络设备可以配置终端设备进行相应的资源释放,而不至于使终端设备释放与第一网络设备之间的连接,从而保证终端设备的吞吐量,提高终端设备的传输性能。
作为一种可选的实施方式,配置信息除了指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息之外,还可以包括第一时间信息。例如配置信息包括第一信息和第一时间信息,第一信息就用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。
作为一种可选的实施方式,配置信息除了指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息之外,还可以包括辅助信息对应的至少一个参数的信息。例如配置信息包括第一信息和至少一个参数的信息,第一信息就用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。
例如,配置信息可以包括第一信息,另外还可以包括第一时间信息或至少一个参数的信息中的至少一种。例如,配置信息包括第一信息,或者,配置信息包括第一信息和第一时间信息,或者,配置信息包括第一信息和至少一个参数的信息,或者,配置信息包括第一信息、第一时间信息和至少一个参数的信息。
具体的,关于S808所涉及的相应内容,可参考图7所示的实施例中的S702的介绍。

S810、第二网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,终端设备接收来自第二网络设备的配置信息。该配置信息用于指示终端设备能够通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息。
其中,S809和S810可以选择其中一个执行即可,究竟执行哪一个,可以通过协议规定。

S811、终端设备通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,第一网络设备通过SRB3接收来自终端设备的辅助信息。
关于S811的内容,例如辅助信息等的介绍,可参考图7所示的实施例中的S704。
在S811中,是以终端设备通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息为例,或者还有可能,终端设备也可以将辅助信息发送给第二网络设备,可参考S812。
S812、终端设备第二网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的辅助信息。
其中,S811和S812可以选择其中一个执行即可,究竟执行哪一个,可以通过协议规定,如存在SRB3时执行S811,不存在时执行S812。
例如,如果执行的是S809,则可以执行S811或S812,或者,如果执行的是S810,同样的既可以执行S811,也可以执行S812。
关于S812的内容,例如辅助信息等的介绍,可参考图7所示的实施例中的S705。在图8所示的S812中,也包括终端设备向第二网络设备发送辅助信息的过程,以及第二网络设 备向第一网络设备发送辅助信息的过程。其中,第二网络设备发送给第一网络设备的辅助信息,可以是对应于第一网络设备的辅助信息。
S813、第一网络设备通过SRB3向终端设备发送调整信息,终端设备通过SRB3接收来自第一网络设备的调整信息。
第一网络设备在获得终端设备的辅助信息后,可以根据辅助信息确定如何调整终端设备的配置。例如,辅助信息包括终端设备期望的时隙格式,则第一网络设备可以为终端设备配置该时隙格式。本申请实施例对于第一网络设备究竟如何根据辅助信息确定调整信息不做限制。或者,第一网络设备也可以根据其他因素确定调整信息,具体的不做限制。
第一网络设备可以向终端设备发送调整信息,终端设备接收该调整信息后,就可以调整终端设备的配置。
另外在本申请实施例中,在S801之前,如果第一网络设备和第二网络设备还未形成双连接的结构,那么,如果第二网络设备认为可以将第一网络设备作为辅网络设备,则第二网络设备可以向第一网络设备发送请求消息,第一网络设备可以接收来自第二网络设备的请求消息,该请求消息用于请求第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备。第一网络设备在接收请求消息后,可以向第二网络设备发送响应消息,第二网络设备可以接收来自第一网络设备的响应消息,该响应消息用于指示第一网络设备同意第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备,或用于指示第一网络设备不同意第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备。那么,如果该响应消息用于指示第一网络设备同意第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备,则第二网络设备可以向第一网络设备发送第二配置信息,用于配置第一网络设备作为第二网络设备的辅网络设备,从而第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以构成双连接的结构。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备或第一网络设备可以主动请求建立SRB3,从而可以在需要传输相应信息时建立SRB3,而不是只能被动等待第二网络设备主动建立SRB3。在SRB3建立后,终端设备可以与第一网络设备通过SRB3传输相应的控制信息,例如终端设备可以通过SRB3向第一网络设备发送终端设备的辅助信息,从而第一网络设备也能够获得终端设备的辅助信息,以对终端设备进行相应的配置,使得终端设备的配置能够符合终端设备和第一网络设备的需求。例如终端设备发送的辅助信息可以包括终端设备的过热信息,那么相当于第一网络设备也能获得终端设备的过热信息,从而第一网络设备可以对终端设备进行相应的配置,不至于使终端设备释放与辅网络设备之间的连接,从而有助于提高终端设备的传输性能。
下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例中用来实现上述方法的装置。因此,上文中的内容均可以用于后续实施例中,重复的内容不再赘述。
