[0026] An embodiment of the present invention provides a wireless access network system, such as figure 2 As shown, the wireless access network system includes a centralized unit CU and a distributed unit DU. Among them, the CU includes a control plane unit (referred to as CU-C) and a user plane unit (abbreviated as CU-U); the control plane unit is used to process the control plane protocol, and the user plane unit is used to process the user plane protocol; the DU is used to process Low-level protocols other than those handled by the CU. in, figure 2 Communication is possible between the various units that have a connection relationship shown in .

[0027] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, CU-C and CU-U can be deployed separately / independently from DU, that is, CU-C and DU can be located in different physical locations, and CU-U and DUs can originate from different physical locations.

[0028] In a specific example, for option 1 (option 1) of the CU / DU archite...

[0032]This embodiment provides a centralized unit, that is, a CU in a RAN system, and the centralized unit is divided into a control plane unit (CU-C) and a user plane unit (CU-U). Wherein, the control plane unit is used for processing the control plane protocol, and the user plane unit is used for processing the user plane protocol.

[0033] In a specific example, the CU-C is used to process the PDCP signaling bearer, the radio resource management RRM protocol and the radio resource control RRC protocol, and the user plane unit is used to process the PDCP data bearer; on this basis, the At least one of the RLC protocol, the MAC protocol and the PHY protocol is allocated to be processed by the CU-U.

[0034] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention not only provides flexible segmentation and flexible deployment between CU and DU, but also can obtain the benefits of separating the control plane and the user plane, which meets the diverse service requirem...

Abstract

The invention provides a wireless access network system and a concentration unit, used for solving the problem that in the prior art, there is not measure for definitely dividing CU and DU functions.The system comprises the concentration unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), wherein the CU comprises a control plane unit and a user plane unit, the control plane unit is used for processing controlplane protocols, and the user plane unit is used for processing user plane protocols. According to the scheme, the flexible division between the CU and DU and the flexible deployment of the CU and DUare provided, separated earnings of the control plane and user plane can also be acquired, the multifarious service requirements of 5G are met, and the QOE of the user is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a wireless access network system and a centralized unit. Background technique [0002] In terms of 5G RAN (Radio Access Network, wireless access network) architecture, 3GPP passed the CU / DU (Central Unit, centralized unit / Distributed Unit distributed unit) architecture solution, based on the E-UTRA protocol stack. The function split (segmentation), the segmentation method is as follows figure 1 shown. Through flexible splitting of RAN functions, various and varied 5G service requirements can be better met; network construction costs and operating costs can also be saved, and better collaboration and coordination between cells and DUs can be achieved , improve system capacity and spectrum efficiency, better manage load, and optimize performance. [0003] CU and DU are two independent logical units that can be deployed independently. The CU is an interface anchor point between the acc...
