Description
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,更具体地,本发明涉及由用户设备执行的对QoS进行分割的方法、携带QoS的方法和确定对象侧QoS的方法以及相应的用户设备。
2018年6月,在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project:3GPP)RAN#80全会上,版本16基于5G NR网络技术的V2X可行性研究课题(参见非专利文献:RP-181480,New SID Proposal:Study on NR V2X)获得批准。版本16的NR V2X包含的主要功能为支持无网络覆盖和有网络覆盖场景下的单播、组播和广播。
2019年12月,RAN#86次全会上,针对版本17的NR sidelink relaying(侧行通信中继)的研究项目被提出(参见非专利文献:RP-193253 New Study Item on NR Sidelink Relaying),并获批准。该研究项目的最新版本参见非专利文献:RP-201474 reivsed SID NR sidelink relay。该研究项目主要研究UE(用户设备)到网络和UE到UE的中继解决方案,用于扩展基于侧行通信的覆盖。该研究项目的目标之一是支持侧行通信中继服务质量(QoS)要求。

本发明讨论远端UE和中继UE如何保障QoS要求的相关问题。

本发明中,网络、基站和RAN可互换使用,所述网络可以是长期演进LET网络、新无线访问技术(New RAT,NR)网络、增强的长期演进eLTE网络,也可以是3GPP后续演进版本中定义的其他网络。
本发明中,用户设备UE可以指背景技术中所述的支持NR Sidelink中继功能的NR设备,也可以指其他类型的NR设备或者LTE设备。
PC5接口是UE和UE之间进行控制面和用户面Sidelink通信的接口。对于Sidelink单播,PC5-RRC连接是一对源层二ID和目标层二ID之间的AS层逻辑连接。一个PC5单播链路建立就会对应有一个PC5-RRC连接建立。
UE-to-UE中继如图1所所示,左右两侧为远端UE,中间为中继UE。远端UE和中继UE之间分别通过PC5接口连接。由于两个远端UE距离较远或者通信环境不佳,需要中继UE对两者间的信令和数据进行中继转发。
UE-to-UE中继的场景包含:
1)覆盖范围内:两个远端UE(即源侧UE和目标侧UE)和中继UE都在覆盖范围内;
2)覆盖范围外:两个远端UE(即源侧UE和目标侧UE)和中继UE都在覆盖范围外;
3)部分覆盖:两个远端UE和中继UE中,至少有一个UE在覆盖范围内,并且至少有一个UE在覆盖范围外。
其中,覆盖范围指的是基站的覆盖范围。
UE-to-Network中继如图2所述,场景1(图2的(A))和场景2(图2的(B))中,左侧为远端UE,中间为中继UE,右侧为网络(在本说明书中也称为基站、Network、NW);场景3(图2的(C))中,两侧为网络,中间从左到右分别为远端UE和中继UE。远端UE和中继UE之间通过PC5接口连接,中继UE和网络通过Uu口连接。由于远端UE距离网络较远或者通信环境不佳,需要中继UE对两者间的信令和数据进行中继转发。
UE-to-Network中继的场景包含:
1)Remote UE在覆盖范围外,Relay UE在覆盖范围内;
2)Remote UE和Relay UE都在覆盖范围内,并且在同一个小区;
3)Remote UE和Relay UE都在覆盖范围内,但在不同小区。
对于UE-to-Network的中继架构,如图3所示,分别保障PC5接口的QoS和Uu接口的QoS从而对端到端的QoS进行保障。本说明书中的目标端节点包括目标侧Remote UE、NG-RAN(对应于基站)。
在控制面,remote UE和UE-to-NW relay之间可以通过PC5-S信令协商和修改QoS参数,UE-to-NW relay和NG-RAN之间可以通过NAS信令协商和修改QoS参数。在用户面,当Relay UE收到Remote UE发送的数据时能够根据QoS要求找到合适的Uu口资源进行数据传输,以便满足端到端的QoS要求;同样当Relay UE收到NG-RAN发送的数据时,也需要更够根据QoS要求找到合适的PC5口资源进行数据传输。
对于UE-to-UE的中继架构,如图4所示,分别保障源侧PC5接口的QoS和目标侧PC5接口的QoS从而对端到端的QoS进行保障。Source UE和Target UE都是remote UE(Target UE也可以称为Destination UE)。
source UE和UE-to-UE relay之间以及UE-to-UE relay和target UE之间可以通过PC5-S信令协商和修改QoS参数。在用户面,当Relay UE收到source UE发送的数据时能够根据QoS要求找到合适的目标侧PC5口资源进行数据传输,以便满足端到端的QoS要求;同样当Relay UE收到target UE发送的数据时,也需要能够根据QoS要求找到合适的源侧PC5口资源进行数据传输。
同时,Relay UE还可以根据端到端的QoS要求进行QoS分割。对于UE-to-NW中继架构,就是分割成PC5接口和Uu接口两部分QoS要求;对于UE-to-UE中继架构,就是分割成源侧PC5接口和目标侧PC5接口两部分QoS要求。
Relay UE将分割后的QoS要求通过信令通知给remote UE或者网络。针对不同的QoS要求,PC5接口建立不同的SL QoS flow(QoS流)承载,Uu接口建立不同的Uu QoS flow承载。SL QoS flow用PQFI标识,Uu QoS flow用QFI标识。在AS层,QoS flow由radio bearer(无线承载)承载,不同的radio bearer可能对应于不同的RLC信道。
对于PC5接口用户面传输,SDAP层的数据PDU有两种格式,一种带头(with header)另一种不带头(without header),头中含有PQFI。对于Uu接口用户面传输,SDAP层的数据PDU也有两种格式,一种带头(with header)另一种不带头(without header),头中含有QFI。
以下,详细描述本发明对于remote UE如何携带QoS信息以便relay UE进行数据转发,以及relay UE如何进行QoS分割来保障NR sidelink relay各种场景下的QoS要求的若干实施例。
实施例1
对于UE-to-Network relay的中继架构,relay UE可以将端到端的QoS要求分割成PC5接口(对应于源侧信道)的QoS要求(对应于源侧QoS)和Uu口(对应于目标侧信道)的QoS要求(对应于目标侧QoS)。对于UE-to-UE relay的中继架构,relay UE可以将端到端的QoS要求分割成源侧 和目标侧两部分QoS要求。
对于UE-to-Network relay的中继架构,Relay UE在进行QoS分割的时候:
1)可选地,如果PC5口SL-RSRP高于Uu口RSRP,则相比于Uu口给PC5口分割更多的QoS要求,即PC5口需要满足更高的QoS要求(例如更短的时延,更大的传输速度等);反之,如果PC5口SL-RSRP低于Uu口RSRP,则相比于Uu口给PC5口分割更少的QoS要求,即PC5口需要满足更低的QoS要求;
2)可选地,如果PC5口SD-RSRP高于Uu口RSRP,则相比于Uu口给PC5口分割更多的QoS要求,即PC5口需要满足更高的QoS要求;反之,如果PC5口SD-RSRP低于Uu口RSRP,则相比于Uu口给PC5口分割更少的QoS要求,即PC5口需要满足更低的QoS要求。
其中,PC5口SL-RSRP和Uu口RSRP进行比较时,可能采用如下的一种方式:
1)可选地,PC5口SL-RSRP和Uu口RSRP直接比较;
2)可选地,将PC5口SL-RSRP乘以一个系数的乘积和Uu口RSRP比较;
3)可选地,将PC5口SL-RSRP和Uu口RSRP乘以一个系数的乘积比较。
其中,PC5口SD-RSRP和Uu口RSRP进行比较时,可能采用如下的一种方式:
1)可选地,PC5口SD-RSRP和Uu口RSRP直接比较;
2)可选地,将PC5口SD-RSRP乘以一个系数的乘积和Uu口RSRP比较;
3)可选地,将PC5口SD-RSRP和Uu口RSRP乘以一个系数的乘积比较。
对于UE-to-UE relay的中继架构,relay UE在进行QoS分割的时候(在该场景下,源侧PC5接口对应于源侧信道,目标侧PC5接口对应于目标侧信道):
1)可选地,如果源侧SL-RSRP高于目标侧SL-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更多的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更高的QoS要求;反之,如果源侧SL-RSRP低于目标侧SL-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更少的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更低的QoS要求;
2)可选地,如果源侧SD-RSRP高于目标侧SD-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更多的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更高的QoS要求;反之,如果源侧SD-RSRP低于目标侧SD-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更少的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更低的QoS要求;
3)可选地,如果源侧SL-RSRP高于目标侧SD-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更多的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更高的QoS要求;反之,如果源侧SL-RSRP低于目标侧SD-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更少的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更低的QoS要求;
4)可选地,如果源侧SD-RSRP高于目标侧SL-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更多的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更高的QoS要求;反之,如果源侧SD-RSRP低于目标侧SL-RSRP,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更少的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更低的QoS要求;
5)可选地,如果源侧CBR高于目标侧CBR,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更少的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更低的QoS要求;反之,如果如果源侧CBR低于目标侧CBR,则相比于目标侧,给源侧分割更多的QoS要求,即源侧需要满足更高的QoS要求。
其中,SD-RSRP和SL-RSRP进行比较时,如上面的3)和4)两种情况,可能采用如下的一种方式:
1)可选地,SD-RSRP和SL-RSRP直接比较;
2)可选地,将SD-RSRP乘以一个系数的乘积和SL-RSRP比较;
3)可选地,将SD-RSRP和SL-RSRP乘以一个系数的乘积比较。
需要说明的是,在本说明书中提及将源侧信道指标与目标侧信道指标进行对比时,包括直接对比源侧信道指标和目标侧信道指标或将其分别乘 以对应的系数之后对所得的积进行对比。此外,上述将源侧信道指标与目标侧信道指标中的一者与一个系数相乘后与另一者对比的情况可以视为另一者的系数为1的情况。例如,在提及源侧SD-RSRP高于目标侧SL-RSRP时,可以直接比较源侧SD-RSRP与目标侧SL-RSRP,以确定源侧SD-RSRP是否高于目标侧SL-RSRP,还可以将较源侧SD-RSRP与目标侧SL-RSRP分别与对应的系数相乘后,根据据所得的积来确定二者的高低。
实施例2
可选地,在remote UE和relay UE已经建立了PC5单播链路后,relay UE通过RRCReconfigurationSidelink消息(侧信通信RRC重配消息)为remote UE配置Sidelink DRB,其中包含sl-SDAP-Header这个IE。如果满足第一条件,则relay UE将RRCReconfigurationSidelink消息中的sl-SDAP-Header设置为present。
可选地,remote UE通过预配置信息获取到sidelink DRB的配置,其中包含sl-SDAP-Header这个IE。如果满足第一条件,该IE被置为present。
可选地,remote UE通过基站配置信息获取到sidelink DRB的配置,其中包含sl-SDAP-Header这个IE。如果满足第一条件,该IE被基站置为present。
其中,第一条件为如下的一种:
1)可选地,该sidelink DRB是用于sidelink relay;
2)可选地,该sidelink DRB是用于relay UE转发remote UE的业务数据;
3)可选地,上层指示该sidelink DRB用于sidelink relay;
4)可选地,上层指示该sidelink DRB用于relay UE转发remote UE的业务数据。
当sl-SDAP-Header被设置为present,remote UE在发送sidelink SDAP数据PDU时,根据该配置按照带有SDAP头的格式构造sidelink SDAP数据PDU。
实施例3
基于实施例2,在Sidelink DRB配置中增加专用于sidelink relay的SDAP 头是否携带的标识信息,例如增加slrelay-SDAP-Header这个IE。
可选地,在remote UE和relay UE已经建立了PC5单播链路后,relay UE通过RRCReconfigurationSidelink消息为remote UE配置Sidelink DRB,其中包含slrelay-SDAP-Header。如果满足第一条件,则relay UE将RRCReconfigurationSidelink消息中的slrelay-SDAP-Header设置为present。
可选地,remote UE通过预配置信息获取到sidelink DRB的配置,其中包含slrelay-SDAP-Headerr。如果满足第一条件,该IE被置为present。
可选地,remote UE通过基站配置信息获取到sidelink DRB的配置,其中包含slrelay-SDAP-Header。如果满足第一条件,该IE被基站置为present。
其中,第一条件和实施例2中的相同。
当slrelay-SDAP-Header被设置为present,remote UE在发送sidelink SDAP数据PDU时,根据该配置按照带有SDAP头的格式构造sidelink SDAP数据PDU。
实施例4
基于实施例3,增加一种专用于sidelink relay的sidelink SDAP头格式,其中相比于现有技术中的SDAP头,增加PQI信息。例如但不限于如图5所示的格式。
还可以增加一种专用于sidelink relay的Uu接口的SDAP头格式,其中相比于现有技术中的SDAP头,增加5QI。例如但不限于如图6所示的格式。
是否携带新的sidelink SDAP头或者新的Uu口的SDAP头,可以根据实施例3中的slrelay-SDAP-Header配置取值。
同时,当作为数据的接收方,对于PC5接口,如果sidelink DRB配置中的slrelay-SDAP-Header被配置为present,则UE需要按照新的sidelink SDAP头格式从SL SDAP PDU中获取到SL SDAP SDU。
实施例5
在remote UE和relay UE已经建立了PC5单播链路后,当remote UE需要发送数据时,SDAP层判断如果需要发送的SDAP SDU是需要被中继的,则按照带有SDAP头的格式构造sidelink SDAP数据PDU。进一步地,SDAP SDU是否需要被中继,可能由上层指示给SDAP层。
实施例6
对于UE-to-Network中继架构,relay UE在PC5口增加、修改或者删除SL RLC信道以及在Uu口增加、修改或者删除Uu RLC信道时,保存SL RLC信道和Uu RLC信道之间的映射关系。在本说明书中,提及对信道进行变更时,包括增加新的信道、对即有信道进行修改、删除即有信道等情形。PC5和Uu接口上的业务数据的QoS要求首先体现在由不同的QoS流程承载,进一步在AS层体现在不同的radio bearer承载不同的QoS流,而不同的radio bearer又由不同的RLC信道来承载。因此,不同的RLC信道配置对应于不同的业务数据的QoS要求。对于从remote UE到网络的数据发送,当relay UE在某个SL RLC信道上收到数据,如果根据保存的RLC信道间的映射关系找不到对应的Uu RLC信道,则新建一个Uu RLC实体来发送该数据;如果根据保存的RLC信道间的映射关系能够找到对应的Uu RLC信道,则在对应的Uu RLC信道上发送该数据。反之,对于从网络到remote UE的数据发送,当relay UE在某个Uu RLC信道上收到数据,如果根据保存的RLC信道间的映射关系找不到对应的SL RLC信道,则新建一个SL RLC实体来发送该数据;如果根据保存的RLC信道间的映射关系能够找到对应的SL RLC信道,则在对应的SL RLC信道上发送该数据。
对于UE-to-UE中继架构,relay UE在源侧增加、修改或者删除SL RLC信道以及在目标侧增加、修改或者删除SL RLC信道时,保存源侧SL RLC信道和目标侧SL RLC信道之间的映射关系。对于从源侧UE到目标侧UE的数据发送,当relay UE在某个源侧SL RLC信道上收到数据,如果根据保存的RLC信道间的映射关系找不到对应的目标侧SL RLC信道,则新建一个目标侧RLC实体来发送该数据;如果根据保存的RLC信道间的映射关系能够找到对应的目标侧SL-RLC信道,则在对应的目标侧SL-RLC信道上发送该数据。对于从目标侧UE到源侧UE的数据发送,处理过程也是一样的,只需要将上述动作中的目标侧和源侧互换即可,不再赘述。
