Definitions
- the present application relates to a transmission method and apparatus in a wireless communication system, and in particular to side-link communication, relay communication, and multipath relay.
- the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partner Project) RAN (Radio Access Network) #72 plenary meeting decided to study the new air interface technology (NR, New Radio) (or Fifth Generation, 5G), and the NR WI (Work Item) was passed at the 3GPP RAN #75 plenary meeting, starting the standardization work on NR.
- NR New Radio
- 5G Fifth Generation
- both LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 5G NR involve accurate reception of reliable information, optimized energy efficiency, determination of information validity, flexible resource allocation, scalable system structure, efficient non-access layer information processing, low service interruption and drop rate, and support for low power consumption.
- This is of great significance to the normal communication between base stations and user equipment, the reasonable scheduling of resources, and the balancing of system load. It can be said to be the cornerstone of high throughput, meeting the communication needs of various services, improving spectrum utilization, and improving service quality.
- V2X Vehicle to X
- device to device unlicensed spectrum communication
- user communication quality monitoring user communication quality monitoring
- network planning optimization network planning optimization
- NTN Non Territerial Network
- TN Tutial Network
- dual connectivity systems wireless resource management and multi-antenna codebook selection, signaling design, neighbor management, business management, and beamforming.
- the information transmission methods are divided into broadcast and unicast. Both transmission methods are essential for 5G systems because they are very helpful in meeting the above requirements.
- the UE can be connected to the network directly or through a relay.
- relays In many communication scenarios, the use of relays is involved. For example, when a UE (User Equipment) is at the edge of a cell and has poor coverage, it can access the network through a relay, and the relay node can be another UE.
- the relay methods mainly include layer 3 relay and layer 2 relay (L2 U2N relay), both of which provide network access services for remote nodes (U2N remote UE) through relay nodes.
- Layer 3 relay is transparent to the access network, that is, the remote UE only establishes a connection with the core network, and the access network cannot identify whether the data comes from the remote node or the relay node; while in layer 2 relay, the remote node (U2N remote UE) and the access network (RAN) have an RRC connection, the access network can manage the remote node, and a radio bearer can be established between the access network and the remote node.
- the relay can be another UE. In a system that supports layer 2 relay, the UE can communicate with the network through the L2 relay UE (L2 U2N relay UE), that is, using an indirect path, or it can communicate with the network directly without a relay, that is, using a direct path.
- a UE can use both direct and indirect paths to achieve better reliability and higher throughput.
- the direct path has a smaller latency
- the indirect path has a smaller latency.
- the use of non-direct paths requires the participation of relays.
- the relay may not have established an RRC connection when receiving a relay service request from a remote UE. It needs to establish a connection with the network before it can start transmitting information about the remote UE, which also increases the latency of the remote UE. Therefore, a problem that needs to be solved regarding relay communication is how to configure the UE to control the RRC connection request process according to different situations.
- this application provides a solution.
- the present application discloses a method in a first node used for wireless communication, comprising:
- the first signaling indicates a first candidate value set of a first timer
- the second signaling indicates a second candidate value of the first timer
- the first candidate value set includes at least one candidate value
- the first message is an RRC message
- the first message is used to request an RRC connection, whether the first message is sent through a direct path or an indirect path is used to determine whether the target value is a candidate value in the first candidate value set or the second candidate value
- the indirect path is to transmit information through L2 (Layer-2) U2N (UE to Network) relay
- the direct path is not to transmit information through L2 U2N relay
- the stop condition of the first timer includes receiving a response to the first message
- the expiration of the first timer is used to determine the failure of the RRC connection.
- the problems to be solved by the present application include: how to configure the timer in the RRC connection request according to different communication modes; how to control the RRC connection request process according to different communication modes; how to increase the flexibility of configuration; how to better support relay communications in different scenarios; how to configure the timer; how to perform different optimizations or configurations for direct paths and indirect paths.
- the benefits of the above method include: supporting UEs that use direct paths and indirect paths at the same time, supporting multiple application scenarios; ensuring communication reliability, ensuring communication flexibility, reducing complexity, improving user experience, avoiding communication interruptions, and reducing communication delays.
- the first message is transmitted using SRB0;

- the first signaling is unicast, and the second signaling is broadcast; or, both the first signaling and the second signaling are broadcast.
- whether the target value is a candidate value in the first candidate value set or the second candidate value has nothing to do with whether the first node behaves as a first type UE when at least one of the first signaling and the second signaling is received; the first type UE at least uses a non-direct path to transmit information.

Description
本申请涉及无线通信***中的传输方法和装置,尤其涉及副链路通信,中继通信,多路径中继。
未来无线通信***的应用场景越来越多元化,不同的应用场景对***提出了不同的性能要求。为了满足多种应用场景的不同性能需求,在3GPP(3rd Generation Partner Project,第三代合作伙伴项目)RAN(Radio Access Network,无线接入网)#72次全会上决定对新空口技术(NR,New Radio)(或Fifth Generation,5G)进行研究,在3GPP RAN#75次全会上通过了NR的WI(Work Item,工作项目),开始对NR进行标准化工作。
在通信中,无论是LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)还是5G NR都会涉及到可靠的信息的准确接收,优化的能效比,信息有效性的确定,灵活的资源分配,可伸缩的***结构,高效的非接入层信息处理,较低的业务中断和掉线率,对低功耗支持,这对基站和用户设备的正常通信,对资源的合理调度,对***负载的均衡都有重要的意义,可以说是高吞吐率,满足各种业务的通信需求,提高频谱利用率,提高服务质量的基石,无论是eMBB(ehanced Mobile BroadBand,增强的移动宽带),URLLC(Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication,超高可靠低时延通信)还是eMTC(enhanced Machine Type Communication,增强的机器类型通信)都不可或缺的。同时在IIoT(Industrial Internet of Things,工业领域的物联网中,在V2X(Vehicular to X,车载通信)中,在设备与设备之间通信(Device to Device),在非授权频谱的通信中,在用户通信质量监测,在网络规划优化,在NTN(Non Territerial Network,非地面网络通信)中,在TN(Territerial Network,地面网络通信)中,在双连接(Dual connectivity)***中,在无线资源管理以及多天线的码本选择中,在信令设计,邻区管理,业务管理,在波束赋形中都存在广泛的需求,信息的发送方式分为广播和单播,两种发送方式都是5G***必不可少的,因为它们对满足以上需求十分有帮助。UE与网络连接的方式可以是直接连接也可以通过中继连接。
随着***的场景和复杂性的不断增加,对降低中断率,降低时延,增强可靠性,增强***的稳定性,对业务的灵活性,对功率的节省也提出了更高的要求,同时在***设计的时候还需要考虑不同***不同版本之间的兼容性。

发明内容
在多种通信场景中,会涉及中继的使用,例如当一个UE(User Equipment,用户设备)在小区边缘时,覆盖不佳时,可以通过中继接入网络,中继节点可以是另外一个UE。中继的方式主要包括层3中继和层2中继(L2 U2N relay),都是通过中继节点为远端节点(U2N remote UE)提供网络接入服务,其中层3中继对接入网是透明的,即远端UE只与核心网建立连接,接入网无法识别数据是来自远端节点还是中继节点的;而层2中继,远端节点(U2N remote UE)和接入网(RAN)具有RRC连接,接入网可以管理远端节点,接入网和远端节点之间可以建立无线承载。中继可以是另一个UE,在支持层2中继的***中,UE可以通过L2中继UE(L2 U2N relay UE)与网络进行通信,即使用非直接路径(indirect path),也可以不通过中继直接与网络进行通信,即使用直接路径(direct path)。在一些场景中,一个UE可以同时使用直接路径和非直接路径以获得更好的可靠性和更高的吞吐率。一般来说,使用直接路径时延要小一些,而
使用非直接路径由于需要中继的参与,同时中继可能在接收到远端UE的中继业务请求时,还没有建立RRC连接,需要与网络先建立连接才能开始传输远端UE的信息,这也增加了远端UE的时延。因此,有关中继通信,需要解决的一个问题是,如何配置UE根据不同的情况控制RRC连接请求过程。
针对以上所述问题,本申请提供了一种解决方案。
需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请的任一节点中的实施例和实施例中的特征可以应用到任一其他节点中。在不冲突的情况下,本申请的实施例和实施例中的特征可以任意相互组合。同时,本申请所提出的方法也可以用于解决通信中的其它问题。

实施例3
实施例3示出了根据本申请的一个用户平面和控制平面的无线协议架构的实施例的示意图,如附图3所示。图3是说明用于用户平面350和控制平面300的无线电协议架构的实施例的示意图,图3用三个层展示用于第一节点(UE,gNB或NTN中的卫星或飞行器)和第二节点(gNB,UE或NTN中的卫星或飞行器),或者两个UE之间的控制平面300的无线电协议架构:层1、层2和层3。层1(L1层)是最低层且实施各种PHY(物理层)信号处理功能。L1层在本文将称为PHY301。层2(L2层)305在PHY301之上,且负责通过PHY301在第一节点与第二节点以及两个UE之间的链路。L2层305包括MAC(Medium Access Control,媒体接入控制)子层302、RLC(Radio Link Control,无线链路层控制协议)子层303和PDCP(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,分组数据汇聚协议)子层304,这些子层终止于第二节点处。PDCP子层304提供不同无线电承载与逻辑信道之间的多路复用。PDCP子层304还提供通过加密数据包而提供安全性,以及提供第二节点之间的对第一节点的越区移动支持。RLC子层303提供上部层数据包的分段和重组装,丢失数据包的重新发射以及数据包的重排序以补偿由于HARQ造成的无序接收。MAC子层302提供逻辑与传输信道之间的多路复用。MAC子层302还负责在第一节点之间分配一个小区中的各种无线电资源(例如,资源块)。MAC子层302还负责HARQ操作。控制平面300中的层3(L3层)中的RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线电资源控制)子层306负责获得无线电资源(即,无线电承载)且使用第二节点与第一节点之间的RRC信令来配置下部层。PC5-S(PC5Signaling Protocol,PC5信令协议)子层307负责PC5接口的信令协议的处理。用户平面350的无线电协议架构包括层1(L1层)和层2(L2层),在用户平面350中用于第一节点和第二节点的无线电协议架构对于物理层351,L2层355中的PDCP子层354,L2层355中的RLC子层353和L2层355中的MAC子层352来说和控制平面300中的对应层和子层大体上相同,但PDCP子层354还提供用于上部层数据包的标头压缩以减少无线电发射开销。用户平面350中的L2层355中还包括SDAP(Service Data Adaptation Protocol,服务数据适配协议)子层356,SDAP子层356负责QoS流和数据无线承载(DRB,Data Radio Bearer)之间的映射,以支持业务的多样性。SRB可看作是PDCP层向更高层,例如RRC层提供的服务或接口。在NR***中SRB包括SRB1,SRB2,SRB3,涉及到副链路通信时还有SRB4,分别用于传输不同类型的控制信令。SRB是UE与接入网之间的承载,用于在UE和接入网之间传输包括RRC信令在内的控制信令。SRB1对于UE具有特别的意义,每个UE建立RRC连接以后,都会有SRB1,用于传输RRC信令,大部分信令都是通过SRB1传输的,如果SRB1中断或无法使用,则UE必须进行RRC重建。SRB2一般仅用于传输NAS信令或与安全方面有关的信令。UE可以不配置SRB3。除紧急业务,UE必须与网络建立RRC连接才能进行后续的通信。虽然未图示,但第一节点可具有在L2层355之上的若干上部层。此外还包括终止于网络侧上的P-GW处的网络层(例如,IP层)和终止于连接的另一端(例如,远端UE、服务器等等)处的应用层。对于涉及中继服务的UE,其控制面还可包括适配子层SRAP(Sidelink Relay Adaptation Protocol,副链路中继适配可以)308,其用户面也可包括适配子层SRAP358,适配层的引入有助于更低层,例如MAC层,例如RLC层,对来自于多个源UE的数据进行复用和/或区分。对于不涉及中继通信的节点,通信的过程中不需要PC5-S307、SRAP308,SRAP358.
作为一个实施例,附图3中的无线协议架构适用于本申请中的所述第一节点。
作为一个实施例,附图3中的无线协议架构适用于本申请中的所述第二节点。
