Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for sending process signaling, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] The 5G (5th Generation) mobile communication technology has entered people's lives. The 3rd Generation partnership project (3GPP) has adopted a system architecture in which the Centralized Unit (CU) and the Distributed Unit (DU) of the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) are separated. The interface between the CU and the DU (i.e., the F1 interface) mainly completes the transmission of signaling and data between the CU and the DU. With the development of service requirements and technical requirements, the scenarios and events faced by the CU / DU are increasing and becoming more complex. The priorities of these events are different. In particular, in order to cope with complex problems such as concurrent scenarios and abnormal scenarios of various services, the F1 interface is required to timely and correctly transmit the latest status or high-priority control commands of the CU / DU, such as interrupting the current signaling process or immediately executing a higher-priority signaling.

[0003] In the current design of the 3GPP F1 interface, when a signaling process is initiated by one party of the CU / DU, there is no way to timely notify the other party of the latest status or control command, and it can only wait for the signaling response of the other party before continuing to process, which cannot meet the requirements of system latency. In extreme cases, it may even cause serious consequences such as the UE being disconnected from the network because it cannot be timely responded.

[0004] In view of the problem of the execution of the signaling process in the prior art, no effective solution has been proposed in the related art. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In the following, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0034] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 1 It is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal for a method of sending process signaling according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 only one is shown in Figure 1 ) processors 102 (the processors 102 may include, but are not limited to, processing devices such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data. Among them, the above-mentioned mobile terminal may further include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that Figure 1 the structure shown in Figure 1 is only schematic and does not limit the structure of the above-mentioned mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may further include more or fewer components than

[0035] shown in

[0036] Figure 1 shown, or have a different configuration from

[0035] the structure shown in

[0036] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs. For example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the method of sending process signaling in the embodiments of the present invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, implements the above-mentioned method. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memories, or other non-volatile solid-state memories. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely disposed relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories may be connected to the mobile terminal through a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an enterprise intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0036] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the above network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of a mobile terminal. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, abbreviated as NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0037] In this embodiment, a method for sending process signaling is provided. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the method for sending process signaling according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0038] Step S202, send a first process signaling to a first unit, where the first process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute a first task to be executed;

[0039] Step S204, in the case of not receiving a first response message of the first process signaling, send a second process signaling to the first unit, where the second process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute a second task to be executed, and the priority of the second task to be executed is higher than that of the first task to be executed.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first unit includes but is not limited to a Centralized Unit (CU), and the second unit includes but is not limited to a Distributed Unit (DU). It should be noted that process signaling can be transmitted between the first unit and the second unit. As Figure 3 shown, each base station gNB has several DUs, and multiple DUs share the same CU for centralized management. The interface between the CU and the DU (i.e., the F1 interface) mainly completes the transmission of signaling and data between the CU and the DU.

[0041] In this embodiment, when either the CU or the DU initiates a certain process and needs to initiate a new process before receiving a response message from the other party, the process initiator notifies the other party through the second process signaling. The receiving party identifies the process to be executed according to the second process signaling. In the F1 interface signaling, there are signaling related to the User Equipment (UE) process and non-UE process signaling. Regardless of which signaling process, after either the CU or the DU initiates it, the control signaling needs to be updated in a timely manner due to certain reasons. That is, this technical solution applies to all F1 interface signaling processes. When it is necessary to adjust the current signaling process in a timely manner due to some abnormal situation in the CU and the DU, it can respond quickly and complete the signaling process with a higher priority in a timely manner, greatly increasing the timeliness of the system.

[0042] Among them, the execution entity of the above steps may be the second unit or the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] Through the above steps, since the first process signaling is sent to the first unit, where the first process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute the first task to be executed; in the case of not receiving the first response message of the first process signaling, the second process signaling is sent to the first unit, where the second process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute the second task to be executed, and the priority of the second task to be executed is higher than that of the first task to be executed. The high-priority control instruction can be executed in a timely manner, meeting the requirements of the system delay. Therefore, the execution problem of the signaling process can be solved, and the effect of timely processing of the control process can be achieved.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, before sending the second process signaling to the first unit in the case of not receiving the first response message of the first process signaling, the method further includes:

[0045] S1. Determine the second process signaling, where the second process signaling includes a preset cell, the preset cell includes the second task to be executed, and the preset cell is used to instruct the first unit to preferentially execute the second task to be executed.

[0046] In this embodiment, in the F1 interface, adding a preset cell to the first process signaling to obtain the second process signaling indicates that the signaling process needs to be adjusted or updated in a timely manner. The second task to be executed includes, but is not limited to, incremental update, process interruption, process rollback, etc.

[0047] In the F1 interface, generating a new second process signaling indicates that the signaling process needs to be updated or executed in a timely manner. The process includes, but is not limited to, incremental update, process interruption, process rollback, etc.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the second process signaling includes:

[0049] S1. Add a preset cell to the interface message between the first unit and the second unit to obtain the second process signaling. For example, add a preset cell to the F1 interface message between the CU and the DU.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, after sending the first process signaling to the first unit, the method further includes:

[0051] S1. Receive the measurement report sent by the user equipment, where the measurement report is used to indicate that the secondary cell accessed by the user equipment is in an abnormal state;

[0052] S2. Determine the second process signaling based on the measurement report.

[0053] In this embodiment, the secondary cell accessed by the user equipment being in an abnormal state includes, but is not limited to, the cell quality of the UE secondary cell deteriorating, and the UE reports an A2 measurement report to the CU.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, after sending the first process signaling to the first unit, the method further includes:

[0055] S1. Receive a reconfiguration process sent by a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, where the reconfiguration process is used to indicate that the configuration of the base station is in a state to be modified;

[0056] S2. Determine second process signaling based on the reconfiguration process.

[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, in the case of not receiving a first response message to the first process signaling, after sending the second process signaling to the first unit, the method further includes:

[0058] S1. Receive a second response message to the second pending task sent by the first unit, where the second response message is used to indicate that the first unit has executed the second pending task;

[0059] In this embodiment, the first unit preferentially executes the second pending task and then executes the first pending task.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, after receiving the second response message to the second pending task sent by the first unit, the method further includes:

[0061] S1. Receive a first response message sent by the first unit, where the first response message is used to indicate that the first unit has executed the first pending task.

[0062] In this embodiment, a method for receiving process signaling is provided. Figure 4 It is a flowchart of the method for receiving process signaling according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, and this process includes the following steps:

[0063] Step S402. Receive first process signaling sent by a second unit, where the first process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute a first pending task;

[0064] Step S404. In the case of not sending a first response message to the first process signaling to the second unit, receive second process signaling sent by the second unit, where the second process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute a second pending task, and the priority of the second pending task is higher than that of the first pending task.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first unit includes but is not limited to a Centralized Unit (CU), and the second unit includes but is not limited to a Distributed Unit (DU). It should be noted that process signaling can be transmitted between the first unit and the second unit. As Figure 3 shown, each gNB has several DUs, and multiple DUs share the same CU for centralized management. The interface between the CU and the DU (i.e., the F1 interface) mainly completes the transmission of signaling and data between the CU and the DU.

[0066] In this embodiment, when either the CU or the DU initiates a certain process and needs to initiate a new process before receiving the response message from the other party, it notifies the other party through the second process signaling. The receiving party identifies the process to be executed according to the second process signaling. In the F1 interface signaling, there are signaling related to the User Equipment (UE) process and non-UE process signaling. Regardless of which signaling process, after being initiated by either the CU or the DU, the control signaling needs to be updated in a timely manner for some reasons. That is, this technical solution is applicable to all F1 interface signaling processes. When it is necessary to adjust the current signaling process in a timely manner due to some abnormal situation in the CU and the DU, it can respond quickly, complete the signaling process with higher priority in a timely manner, and greatly improve the timeliness of the system.

[0067] Among them, the execution subject of the above steps can be the first unit, etc., but is not limited to this.

[0068] Through the above steps, since the first unit receives the first process signaling sent by the second unit, where the first process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute the first task to be executed; in the case of not sending the first response message of the first process signaling to the second unit, the first unit receives the second process signaling sent by the second unit, where the second process signaling is used to instruct the first unit to execute the second task to be executed, and the priority of the second task to be executed is higher than that of the first task to be executed. It can execute the high-priority control instruction in a timely manner, meeting the requirements of system latency. Therefore, the execution problem of the signaling process can be solved, and the effect of timely processing the control process can be achieved.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, after receiving the second process signaling sent by the second unit in the case of not sending the first response message of the first process signaling to the second unit, the method further includes:

[0070] S1, execute the second task to be executed to obtain the second response message;

[0071] S2, send the second response message to the second unit.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, after sending the second response message to the second unit, the method further includes:

[0073] S1. Execute the first task to be executed to obtain a first response message;

[0074] S2. Send the first response message to the second unit.

[0075] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0076] In this embodiment, the context modification request process initiated by the CU in the F1 interface (UE Context Modification Request) is taken as an example for illustration. At this time, it is generally required that the DU reply with a CU context modification response message (UE Context Modification Response / UE Context Modification Failure).
