The terms “first”, “second”, and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish between similar objects instead of describing a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that, data termed in such a way is interchangeable in proper circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than the order illustrated or described herein. Objects classified by “first” and “second” are usually of a same type, and the quantity of objects is not limited. For example, there may be one or more first objects. In addition, “and/or” used in the specification and claims means at least one of the associated objects. The character “/” generally indicates an “or” relationship between the associated objects.
It should be noted that the technology described in the embodiments of this application is not limited to a long term evolution (LTE)/LTE-advanced (LTE-A) system, and may also be used in various wireless communications systems, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms “system” and “network” in the embodiments of this application are usually used interchangeably. The technologies described can be applied to the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies as well as other systems and radio technologies. However, a new radio (NR) system is described in the following description for illustrative purposes, and the NR terminology is used in most of the following description, although these technologies can also be applied to applications other than the NR system application, such as the 6-th generation (6G) communications system.
In this embodiment of this application, a terminal may be also referred to as a terminal device or user equipment (UE). The terminal may be a terminal side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer or referred to as a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a palmtop computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device, vehicle user equipment (VUE), or pedestrian user equipment (PUE). The wearable device includes a bracelet, a headset, glasses, or the like. It should be noted that a type of the terminal is not limited in the embodiments of this application. A radio access network side device 12 may be a base station. The base station may be referred to as a NodeB, an evolved NodeB, an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a NodeB, an evolved NodeB (eNB), a home NodeB, a home evolved NodeB, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, a transmission and reception point (TRP), or other certain appropriate terms in the art, provided that the same technical effects are achieved. The base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, a base station in the NR system is merely used as an example, but does not limit a type of the base station.
The following content is first described for better understanding of the solutions provided in this application.
In an LTE system, a multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) may be sent in two modes: MBMS single frequency network (MBSFN) and single cell-point to multipoint (SC-PTM).
MBSFN mode: A plurality of cells in a same MBSFN region synchronously send a same multicast service. From a UE side, it is equivalent to receiving same data through a plurality of paths. Transmission is performed through a physical multicast channel (PMCH) in an MBSFN subframe. Control information (a control channel parameter, a traffic channel parameter, scheduling information, or the like) and data information of the MBMS are both sent in a broadcast mode, so that both UE in an idle state and UE in a connection state can receive the MBMS. In addition, the data information of the MBMS is sent only in an MBSFN subframe. Control information related to a multicast service is sent through system information (for example, SIB13) and a multicast control channel (MCCH), and data is sent through a multicast traffic channel (MTCH).
SC-PTM mode: Transmission is performed through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). Control information is sent through system information (for example, SIB20) and a single cell multicast control channel (SC-MCCH), and data is sent through a single cell multicast traffic channel (SC-MTCH). The SC-MCCH is sent through a PDSCH scheduled by a single cell radio network temporary identifier (SC-RNTI) PDCCH, and the SC-MTCH is sent through a PDSCH scheduled by a group-radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI) PDCCH.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, the following describes the connection establishment method in the embodiments of this application based on embodiments and application scenarios thereof.
Usually, a CN and a RAN are supported in establishing a shared channel for a multicast service, but a radio sends multicast service data in a multicast or unicast manner. Therefore, a terminal (UE) does not need to establish a per UE connection with the core network, but only needs to establish a connection with the RAN. Currently, a connection establishment method for this scenario is unavailable.
Referring to
Step 101: Send first information to a radio access network side device in a case that there are no valid AS security parameters, where the first information is used to obtain an indication of a connection state operation via the radio access network side device.
In this embodiment of this application, the case that there are no valid AS security parameters may be the following case: The first terminal requests a radio resource control (RRC) connection from the radio access network side device, the radio access network side device agrees to establish the RRC connection, and the first terminal enters a connected state from an idle state, but access stratum (AS) security has not been activated.
As an example, the terminal may carry the first information via an RRCSetupComplete message, and send the first information to the radio access network side device.
According to this embodiment of this application, after establishing the connection with the radio access network side device, the terminal sends the first information to the radio access network side device, and obtains the indication of the connection state operation via the radio access network side device. In this way, the terminal can obtain the indication of the connection state operation via the radio access network side device, and perform the connection state related operation based on the indication, only when the connection with the radio access network side device is established. Therefore, the terminal is enabled to establish a connection with only the radio access network side device, without being connected to a core network side device all the time.
In some implementations, the first information is NAS information. In this way, the connection without the core network side device can be implemented via a signaling process.
In some implementations, a core network management state of the first terminal is an idle state. In this way, the connection without the core network side device can be implemented locally.
In some implementations, the first information is generated based on a non-access stratum (NAS) security parameter of the first terminal. In this way, the radio access network side device may send the first information to the core network side device, and the core network side device may verify the first terminal based on the first information.
Optionally, in some implementations, after the sending first information to a radio access network side device, the method further includes: receiving second information sent by the radio access network side device; and performing a connection state related operation based on the second information.
In this embodiment of this application, the performing a connection state related operation based on the second information includes at least one of:
Optionally, in some implementations, the default operation is performed if the first terminal does not receive the second information within the time specified in the protocol or configured by the network.
As an example, the first terminal starts a first timer when starting to send the first information to the radio access network side device, when finishing sending the first information to the radio access network side device, or after sending the first information to the radio access network side device, where duration of the first timer may be specified in the protocol or configured by the network.
The first timer is stopped if the second information is received in a running period of the first timer.
The default operation is performed when the first timer expires.
In this embodiment of this application, the default operation includes one of:
Optionally, referring to
For this scenario, the method further includes:
In this embodiment of this application, the first information is the fourth information, or the first information is generated based on a NAS security parameter of the first terminal and the fourth information. Optionally, the fourth information is generated based on a NAS security parameter of the second terminal.
Optionally, after the sending first information to a radio access network side device, the method further includes:
In this embodiment of this application, the first terminal receives the fourth information from the second terminal; sends the fourth information as the first information to the radio access network side device, or generates the first information based on the NAS security parameter of the first terminal and the fourth information and sends the first information to the radio access network side device; and then sends, to the second terminal based on the second information returned by the radio access network side device, sixth information used for indicating the second terminal to execute the connection state related operation. In this way, a terminal (for example, a remote terminal) is also enabled, in a relay scenario, to establish a connection with only a radio access network side device.
Referring to
Step 201: Send fourth information to a first terminal in a case that there are no valid AS security parameters, where the fourth information is used to obtain an indication of a connection state operation via the first terminal.
In this embodiment of this application, referring to a scenario shown in
The case that there are no valid AS security parameters may be the following case: The second terminal requests, via the first terminal, an RRC connection from the radio access network side device, the radio access network side device agrees to establish the RRC connection, and the second terminal enters a connected state from an idle state, but AS security has not been activated.
As an example, the first terminal may carry the fourth information via an RRCSetupComplete message, and send the fourth information from the second terminal to the radio access network side device.
In some implementations, a core network management state of the second terminal is an idle state. In this method, the connection without the core network side device can be implemented locally.
In some implementations, the fourth information is generated based on a NAS security parameter of the second terminal. In this case, the second terminal may send the fourth information to the radio access network side device via the first terminal (it may be understood that, the following may be determined with reference to the description of the first terminal side method: the first terminal may send the fourth information as the first information to the radio access network side device, or generate the first information based on the NAS security parameter of the first terminal and the fourth information and send the first information to the radio access network side device); then, the radio access network side device sends the fourth information to the core network side device (for example, the radio access network device sends the fourth information to a core network device of the second terminal); and the core network side device verifies the second terminal based on the fourth information.
It should be noted that, the first information may be generated based on the NAS security parameter of the first terminal and the fourth information. In this case, as an example, after receiving the first information, the radio access network side device sends the fourth information included in the first information to the core network device of the second terminal, and the core network device of the second terminal verifies the second terminal based on the fourth information; or the radio access network side device sends information in the first information other than the fourth information to a core network device of the first terminal, and the core network device of the first terminal verifies the first terminal based on the received information. It should be noted that the core network device of the second terminal and the core network device of the first terminal may be a same core network device, or may be different core network devices.
Optionally, after the sending fourth information to a first terminal, the method further includes: receiving sixth information sent by the first terminal; and performing a connection state related operation based on the sixth information.
In this embodiment of this application, the performing a connection state related operation includes at least one of:
Optionally, in some implementations, the default operation is performed if the second terminal does not receive the sixth information within the time specified in the protocol or configured by the network.
In this embodiment of this application, the default operation includes any one of:
As an example, the inter-device connection may be a PC5 connection. For example, the releasing a wireless inter-device connection may be understood as releasing an inter-device PC5 connection; and the maintaining a wireless inter-device connection may be understood as maintaining an inter-device PC5 connection.

Step 301: Receive first information from a first terminal, and send or refuse to send the first information to a core network side device, where the first information is used by the core network side device to send or refuse to send third information to the radio access network side device based on the first information.
Step 302: Receive the first information from the first terminal, and send or refuse to send the first information to the core network side device, where the first information is used by the core network side device to send or refuse to send fifth information to the radio access network side device based on the first information.
It should be noted that, the following may be learned from the foregoing descriptions of the procedure of the first terminal side method and the procedure of the second terminal side method: The method in this embodiment of this application may also be establishing a connection in a relay scenario. The foregoing step 301 is an execution procedure for a radio access network side device in a non-relay scenario; and the foregoing step 302 is an execution procedure for a radio access network side device in a relay scenario.
In this embodiment of this application, after receiving the first information from the first terminal, the radio access network side device may choose to send the first information to the core network side device, or may refuse to send the first information, that is, determine not to send the first information to the core network side device.
In some implementations, the first information is NAS information. For example, the first information is AS information. In this method, the first terminal is enabled to be not connected to the core network side device via a signaling process.
Optionally, in some implementations, the method further includes:
receiving the third information sent by the core network side device, and/or receiving the fifth information sent by the core network side device, and sending second information to the first terminal based on the third information and/or the fifth information, where the second information is used for indicating a connection state operation.
In this embodiment of this application, the foregoing core network side device includes the core network side device of the first terminal and the core network side device of the second terminal, and the two core network side devices may be the same or different. In an actual implementation process, the radio access network side device may receive only the third information from the core network side device, receive only the fifth information from the core network side device, or receive both the third information and the fifth information from the core network side device. The radio access network side device sends, to the first terminal based on the third information and/or the fifth information, the second information for indicating the connection state operation.
For example,
A process in which the radio access network side device sends the second terminal to the first terminal based on the fifth information is similar to the process of sending the second information to the first terminal based on the third information. Details are not described again.
It should be noted that, if the radio access network side device receives the third information and the fifth information, the second information needs to be sent based on the third information and the fifth information. As an example, if the third information indicates that the first terminal switches to or maintains the wirelessly connected state, and the fifth information indicates that the first terminal enters the wirelessly disconnected state or releases the wireless connection, the radio access network side device sends the second information, where the second information indicates that the first terminal enters the wirelessly disconnected state or releases the wireless connection. As another example, if the third information indicates that the first terminal switches to or maintains the wirelessly connected state, and the fifth information indicates that the first terminal switches to or maintains the wirelessly connected state, the radio access network side device sends the second information, where the second information indicates that the first terminal switches to or maintains the wirelessly connected state or maintains the wireless connection.
Optionally, in some implementations, the default operation is performed if the radio access network side device does not receive the third information and/or the fifth information within the time specified in the protocol or configured by the network.
As an example, the radio access network side device starts a second timer when starting to send the first information to the core network side device, when finishing sending the first information to the core network side device, or after sending the first information to the core network side device, where duration of the second timer may be specified in the protocol or configured by the network.
The second timer is stopped if the third information and/or the fifth information is received in a running period of the second timer.
The default operation is performed when the second timer expires.
As another example, the radio access network side device starts a third timer when starting to send the first information to the core network side device, when finishing sending the first information to the core network side device, or after sending the first information to the core network side device, where duration of the third timer may be specified in the protocol or configured by the network.
The third timer is stopped if the third information and/or the fifth information are/is received in a running period of the third timer.
The radio access network device sends the second information based on the received third information and/or fifth information when the third timer has not expired. The default operation is performed if the radio access network side device has not received the third information and/or the fifth information when the first timer expires.
In some implementations, the default operation includes: sending or refusing to send second information to the first terminal, where the second information is used to indicate a connection state operation.
Optionally, in some implementations, after the receiving first information from a first terminal, and sending or refusing to send the first information to a core network side device, the method further includes: sending second information to the first terminal, where the second information is used for indicating a connection state operation.
In this embodiment of this application, after sending the first information to the core network side device, the radio access network side device may directly send, to the first terminal, the second information for indicating the connection state operation, that is, the radio access network side device does not need to receive the third information and/or the fifth information from the core network side device.
In another example, the radio access network side device may refuse to send the first information to the core network side device. In this case, the radio access network side device may send the second information to a terminal device, or may not send the second information to the first terminal. In a case that the radio access network side device sends the second information to the first terminal, as an example, the radio access network side device sends the second information in a case that the radio access network side device does not support the first terminal in establishing only a wireless connection (for example, an air interface-based wireless connection or an RRC connection), where the second information indicates a release operation, for example, the second information indicates a core network-connection operation (for example, indicates a core network-connection operation of the first terminal). As another example, the radio access network side device sends the second information in a case that the radio access network side device supports the terminal device in establishing only a wireless connection (for example, an air interface-based wireless connection or an RRC connection), where the second information indicates a connection operation.
Optionally, the second information may include at least one of:
Optionally, the radio access network side device may provide radio bearer configuration information for the terminal. The radio bearer configuration information may be used to receive multicast service data. For example, if the terminal (for example, the first terminal) maintains a connection state with a base station, the base station provides the radio bearer configuration information for the terminal, For example, if the radio bearer configuration information is configuration information of a data radio bearer (DRB), the configuration information may be used to receive multicast service data.
Referring to
Step 401: Receive, via a radio access network side device, first information from a first terminal, or receive, via the radio access network side device, first information including fourth information from a second terminal; and perform step 402 if the first information from the first terminal is received, or perform step 403 if the first information including the fourth information from the second terminal is received.
Step 402: Send or refuse to send third information to the radio access network side device based on the first information, where the third information is used by the radio access network side device to send second information to the first terminal based on the third information.
Step 403: Send or refuse to send fifth information to the radio access network side device based on the fourth information, where the fifth information is used by the radio access network side device to send second information to the first terminal based on the fifth information.
In this embodiment of this application, the following may be learned from the foregoing descriptions of the procedure of the first terminal side method and the procedure of the second terminal side method: The method in this embodiment of this application may also be establishing a connection in a relay scenario. The foregoing steps 401 and 402 are an execution procedure for a radio access network side device in a non-relay scenario; and the foregoing steps 401 and 403 are an execution procedure for a radio access network side device in a relay scenario. It may be understood that the first information including the fourth information from the second terminal means that the first terminal may send the fourth information as the first information to the radio access network side device, or generate the first information based on the NAS security parameter of the first terminal and the fourth information and send the first information to the radio access network side device; and then the radio access network side device sends the first information to the core network side device.
In some implementations, the first information is NAS information, and the fourth information is NAS information. In other words, the first terminal and the second terminal are enabled to be not connected to the core network side device via a signaling process.
In some implementations, a core network management state of the first terminal is an idle state, and/or a core network management state of the second terminal is an idle state. In other words, the first terminal and the second terminal are enabled to be not connected to the core network side device locally.
Optionally, after step 402, the method further includes: verifying the first information based on a NAS security parameter of the first terminal, or verifying the first information based on the NAS security parameter of the first terminal and a NAS security parameter of the second terminal, and sending or refusing to send the third information according to a verification result.
Alternatively, after step 403, the method further includes: verifying the fourth information based on the NAS security parameter of the second terminal, and sending or refusing to send the fifth information according to a verification result.
In this embodiment of this application, the first terminal and/or the second terminal are authenticated via the core network side device. For example:
Verifying of the second terminal is similar to the foregoing verifying of the first terminal. Details are not described again.
It should be noted that, the connection establishment method provided in this embodiment of this application may be performed by a connection establishment apparatus, or by a control module that is in the connection establishment apparatus and that is configured to perform the connection establishment method.
