[0002] In the NG Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) of 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology), the network interface that enables connections between base stations (gNBs) is called the XN interface. The XN interface supports the exchange of signaling information between two gNBs, as well as the forwarding of PDUs (Protocol Data Units) to various tunnel endpoints. gNBs exchange their respective base station global information, serving cell information, and neighbor cell information through the XN interface signaling, which is used to achieve load balancing, cell energy saving, energy-saving cell activation, and neighbor cell PCI (Physical Cell Identifier) ​​conflict and confusion detection.

[0003] However, for mobile operators, due to limitations in base station hardware resources, XN connections are generally only established between adjacent base stations.

[0099] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0100] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or server that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0101] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages disclosed in the embodiments of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application.

[0102] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this embodiment, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. To facilitate understanding of the above-described technical solutions and their resulting technical effects in the embodiments of this application, the embodiments of this application first explain the relevant technical terms:

[0103] Cellular cell: also known as a cellular cell, refers to the area covered by a base station or the fan-shaped antenna of a base station in a cellular mobile communication system, within which mobile stations can reliably communicate with the base station via a wireless channel.

[0104] gNodeB: 5G communication base station, abbreviated as gNB, is a node used to provide NR (New Radio) user plane and control plane protocol terminals to UE, and is connected to the 5G core network (5G Core, 5GC) via the NG interface.

[0105] NG-RAN: Next generation radio access network, also known as 5G radio access network.

[0106] Xn interface: The network interface between NG-RAN nodes, i.e., the connection interface between gNBs.

[0107] Radio Resource Control (RRC) refers to the management, control, and scheduling of radio resources through specific strategies and methods. While meeting quality of service requirements, it aims to make the most of limited wireless network resources, ensure coverage of planned areas, and maximize service capacity and resource utilization. On 5G NR, RRC supports three states: RRC_IDLE, RRC_INACTIVE, and RRC_CONNECTED.

[0108] Normally, in connected mode (RRC_CONNECTED), communication between the UE and the base station is continuous, so handovers occur between neighboring cells. However, in disconnected mode, there are cases where the UE can resume from a non-neighboring cell. For example, in the same Radio Notification Area (RNA), there may be three cells A, B, and C. Cells A and B are neighboring cells, and cells B and C are neighboring cells, but cells A and C are not neighboring cells.

[0109] When a UE enters an inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) in cell A, passes through cell B, and does not perform any data services in cell B (regardless of whether it has performed a periodic Radio Notification Area Update (RNAU), the UE's context parameters remain in cell A. Finally, it enters cell C to perform data services and sends an RRC connection restoration request. This requires obtaining the UE's context, but since cell A and cell C are not neighboring cells, the UE's context parameters cannot be obtained from cell A. It must be treated as a new UE, thus hindering the rapid restoration of the RRC connection. Furthermore, the UE's context parameters in cell A are only deleted after the RNAU timer expires and no RNAU request is received from that UE, leading to wasted resources.

[0110] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method for inter-base station interface connection. This method establishes an interface connection between base stations in non-adjacent cells, thereby enabling the UE to quickly restore the RRC connection in non-adjacent cells, and at the same time, the resources of the last serving cell can be quickly released, saving resources.

[0111] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application environment of an inter-base station interface connection method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the application environment includes a preset terminal device 101, a current base station 103, a target base station 105, and a core network 107.

[0112] In some optional implementations, the preset terminal device 101 can be used to access the core network 107 through an NG-RAN node. The preset terminal device 101 may include physical devices such as smartphones, desktop computers, tablets, laptops, digital assistants, smart wearable devices, smart speakers, vehicle terminals, and smart TVs, but is not limited to these, and may also include other smart terminals, multimedia devices, streaming media devices, etc.

[0113] In some optional implementations, the current base station 103 and the target base station 105 are two non-adjacent nodes in the same RNA. That is, the serving cell of the current base station 103 and the serving cell of the target base station 105 are non-neighboring cells. The target base station 105 is the last serving base station in which the preset terminal device 101 performed services within the current RNA, and the target base station 105 stores the context information of the preset terminal device 101. The current base station 103 is the base station that received the RRC recovery request sent by the preset terminal device 101.

[0114] In some optional implementations, the core network is the 5G mobile communication network core network 5GC. The 5GC includes the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). The AMF performs registration, connection, reachability, and mobility management. The AMF also provides session management message transmission channels for the UE and SMF, provides authentication and authorization functions for user access, and serves as the core network control plane access point for the terminal and radio.

[0115] In some optional implementations, when the preset terminal device 101 is in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state (RRC-INACTIVE), it can move within the notification area (RNA) configured by the radio access network without notifying the base station. The base station that most recently interacted with the preset terminal device 101 within the notification area stores the context information of the preset terminal device 101 and maintains its connection with the core network. When the preset terminal device 101 needs to resume the Radio Resource Control (RRC-CONNECTED) state, it can send an RRC resume request to the base station corresponding to its current cell. Specifically, the preset terminal device 101 sends an RRC resume request to the serving cell corresponding to the current base station 103. After receiving the request, the current base station 103 determines the base station identifier of the target base station 105 corresponding to the last serving cell based on the Inactive Radio Network Temporary Identifier (I-RNTI) carried in the request. Then, it searches for the XN connection corresponding to the base station identifier in the XN connection chain of the current base station. If the XN connection exists, it initiates a process to obtain the UE context from the target base station 105. If it does not exist, an XN connection needs to be established between the current base station 103 and the target base station 105 before initiating the process of obtaining the UE context from the target base station 105.

The current base station is the base station that receives the connection restoration request sent by the preset terminal device, and the target base station is the base station that stores the context information of the preset terminal device. In this embodiment, by establishing an interface connection between the current base station and the target base station, the current base station can obtain the context information of the preset terminal device from the target base station.

[0119] It should be noted that the inter-base station interface connection method provided in this application embodiment is applicable to establishing an interface connection between two base stations that do not have an interface connection relationship.

[0120] In this embodiment, when establishing an XN connection between the current base station and the target base station, the current base station can send an interface configuration request message to the target base station through the mobility management module in the core network. Specifically, the current base station sends a first configuration transmission message to the mobility management module in the core network. The first configuration transmission message includes the current base station identifier, the target base station identifier, and first interface configuration information. The mobility management module determines the target base station based on the target base station identifier. The mobility management module then sends an interface configuration request message to the target base station. The interface configuration request message includes the current base station identifier and the first interface configuration information. The first interface configuration information includes the XN configuration information of the current base station.

[0121] As an optional implementation, the first configuration transmission message is used to enable the mobility management module in the core network to send the first interface configuration information of the current base station to the target base station. The first interface configuration information is the peer base station's IP Sec (IP Security) transport layer address information (Xn TNL Configuration Info), which contains the IP Sec transport layer address of the current base station. Optionally, the mobility management module is the AMF, and the first configuration transmission message is an uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message. The current base station sends the uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message to the AMF. The uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message carries the target base station identifier of the target base station, the current base station identifier of the current base station, and the first interface configuration information. The uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message also configures the message type. As an example, the current base station identifier is 0x691003, and the target base station identifier is 0x691001. In the UPLINK RAN CONFIGURATION TRANSFER message, the TARGET RAN NODE ID is 0x691001, the SOURCE RAN NODE ID is 0x691003, and the SON Information type is request. Furthermore, the UPLINK RANCONFIGURATION TRANSFER message also encapsulates an Xn TNL Configuration Info message, which contains the current base station's XN configuration information, i.e., the IP Sec transport layer address of the current base station. After receiving the uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message, the AMF in the core network obtains the above information and determines the target base station based on the target base station identifier. Then, the AMF encapsulates this information in a downlink RAN ​​configuration transmission message and sends it to the target base station.

[0122] In this embodiment, the current base station can obtain the target base station identifier of the target base station based on the connection request sent by the preset terminal device. The target base station is a base station that stores the context information of the preset terminal device. When the preset terminal device is in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state (RRC-INACTIVE), it can restore the RRC connection by sending a recovery request to the current base station corresponding to its current serving cell. Generally, since there is no inter-base station interface connection between the current base station and the target base station, the current base station cannot obtain the context information of the preset terminal device from the target base station. The current base station can only treat the preset terminal device as a new terminal, which is inefficient. However, in this embodiment, the context information of the preset terminal device is obtained by establishing an interface connection between the current base station and the target base station. Specifically, the current base station receives the connection recovery request sent by the preset terminal device. The connection recovery request carries the device identifier information of the preset terminal device. The current base station determines the target base station identifier of the target base station based on the device identifier information. The target base station identifier is used to enable the mobility management module to determine the target base station.

[0123] As an optional implementation, when a terminal device restores its communication connection with the base station, it needs to inform the base station of its device identification information. This device identification information is the Inactive Radio Network Temporary Identifier (I-RNTI). The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) specifies two types of I-RNTIs: a full-length I-RNTI, a 40-bit binary string, and a short I-RNTI, a 24-bit binary string. Both I-RNTIs consist of two parts: a User Equipment Identifier (UEI) and a Base Station Identifier (BSI). The UEI distinguishes different UEs within the base station, while the BSI distinguishes different base stations. Therefore, the current base station can determine the target base station identifier of the target base station based on the I-RNTI carried in the connection restoration request. Specifically, base stations within the same radio notification area share the same high-order identifier. The mask in the I-RNTI can be obtained according to the I-RNTI encoding rules. The current base station obtains the high-order identifier and mask of the base station identifiers within the radio notification area, and then determines the target base station identifier of the target base station based on the high-order identifier, device identification information, and mask. As an example, in a certain wireless notification area, the base station identifier (GNB ID) of the base station located in cell A is 0x691001, and the base station identifier of the base station located in cell C is 0x691003. When the preset terminal device enters the RRC-INACTIVE state in cell A, cell A assigns the preset terminal device a full I-RNTI of 0x0000011001, and the base station in cell A stores the context information of the preset terminal device. The preset terminal device sends a connection resumption request (RRC resume request) in cell C, which is not adjacent to cell A. The connection resumption request carries the device identifier information of the preset terminal device, i.e., the I-RNTI is 0x0000011001. The base station in cell C can determine the high-order identifier of the base station in the current radio notification area as id_base 0x690000 based on its own gnb id. According to the I-RNTI encoding rules, it can obtain the mask in the I-RNTI as id_diff 0xffff. Then, it can determine that the base station identifier of the base station in cell A is 0x691001. The algorithm for calculating the base station identifier is: gnb_id = id_base + (I-RNTI) & id_diff.

[0124] In this embodiment, after determining the target base station identifier of the target base station, the current base station first determines whether an XN connection exists between the target base station and the current base station based on the target base station identifier. When no XN connection exists between the target base station and the current base station, the current base station can establish an XN connection by sending an interface configuration request message to the target base station through the mobility management module in the core network. Specifically, the current base station determines the set of base station identifiers corresponding to the base stations with which it has an interface connection. If no base station identifier matching the target base station identifier exists in the set of base station identifiers, the current base station sends an interface configuration request message to the target base station based on the mobility management module in the core network.

[0125] S203: In response to the interface configuration request message, the target base station sends an interface configuration response message to the current base station based on the mobility management module.

[0126] In this embodiment, after receiving an interface configuration request message sent by the current base station based on the mobility management module in the core network, the target base station responds to the interface configuration request message by sending an interface configuration response message to the current base station through the mobility management module in the core network. The interface configuration response message carries the target base station's second interface configuration information, which includes the target base station's XN configuration information, thus enabling the current base station to obtain the target base station's XN configuration information. Specifically, in response to the interface configuration request message, the target base station sends a second configuration transmission message to the mobility management module. The second configuration transmission message includes the target base station identifier, the current base station identifier, and the second interface configuration information. The mobility management module determines the current base station based on the current base station identifier. The mobility management module then sends the interface configuration response message to the current base station. The interface configuration response message includes the target base station identifier and the second interface configuration information.

[0127] As an optional implementation, the second configuration transmission message is used to enable the mobility management module in the core network to send the second interface configuration information of the target base station to the current base station. The second interface configuration information is the IP Sec transport layer address information of the peer base station, which includes the IP Sec transport layer address of the target base station. The second configuration transmission message is an uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message. The target base station sends the uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message to the AMF. The uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message carries the current base station identifier, the target base station identifier, and the second interface configuration information. The message type is also configured in the uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message. As an example, the current base station identifier is 0x691003, and the target base station identifier is 0x691001. Upon receiving the downlink RAN ​​configuration transmission message from the AMF, the target base station responds by sending an UPLINK RAN CONFIGURATION TRANSFER message. This message carries the identifier of the final receiving base station (i.e., the current base station identifier) ​​and the identifier of the sending base station (i.e., the target base station identifier). Specifically, in the UPLINK RAN CONFIGURATION TRANSFER message, the TARGET RAN NODE ID is 0x691003, the SOURCE RAN NODE ID is 0x691001, and the SONInformation type is "reply". Furthermore, the UPLINK RAN CONFIGURATION TRANSFER message also encapsulates an Xn TNL Configuration Info message, which contains the target base station's XN configuration information, i.e., the IP Sec transport layer address of the target base station. After receiving the uplink RAN ​​configuration transmission message in the core network, the AMF, having obtained the above information, determines the current base station based on its current base station identifier. The AMF then encapsulates this information in a downlink RAN ​​configuration transmission message and sends it to the current base station.

[0128] S205: The current base station sends a first interface setting request to the target base station based on the second interface configuration information, and the target base station sends a second interface setting request to the current base station based on the first interface configuration information, so as to establish an interface connection between the current base station and the target base station.

[0129] In this embodiment, after the above interaction, the target base station obtains the first interface configuration information of the current base station, i.e., the transport layer address of the current base station, and simultaneously obtains the second interface configuration information of the target base station, i.e., the transport layer address of the target base station. Thus, an information transmission channel is established between the current base station and the target base station. Then, the current base station and the target base station interact through this information transmission channel, thereby completing the establishment of the XN connection. Specifically, the current base station sends a first interface setting request to the target base station based on the transport layer address of the target base station, and the target base station sends a second interface setting request to the current base station based on the transport layer address of the current base station. The first interface setting request carries the neighbor cell information of the current base station, and the second interface setting request carries the neighbor cell information of the target base station. Optionally, the neighbor cell information includes the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface, frequency point, cell identifier, etc. The current base station and the target base station synchronize through the neighbor cell information; after successful synchronization, the XN connection can be established.

[0130] In this embodiment, after the current base station and the target base station establish an XN connection, the current base station obtains the context information of a preset terminal device based on the XN connection. Afterward, the target base station can delete the context parameter information of the preset terminal device. Furthermore, after the successful establishment of the XN connection between the current base station and the target base station, it is stored in their respective XN connection lists. When a preset terminal device with the same path needs to be restored, the XN connection establishment process is not required, which can improve the RRC connection restoration rate. However, the cell information carried during the establishment of the XN connection does not need to be added to the neighbor cell list to avoid affecting cell selection during the handover process.

[0131] The base station interface connection method described in this application allows for rapid restoration of the UE's RRC connection in a non-neighboring cell, while also quickly releasing resources from the previous serving cell, thus saving resources. Furthermore, this method for rapid UE restoration in non-neighboring cells expands the paging range. Even if the UE is paged in a non-neighboring cell of the previous serving cell, it can quickly restore the RRC connection, thereby improving paging efficiency.

[0132] Based on the above description, the following describes a specific embodiment of an inter-base station interface connection method according to this application, taking the current base station as the execution subject.

[0138] In some optional implementations, based on the mobility management module in the core network, an interface configuration request message is sent to the target base station, causing the target base station to respond to the interface configuration request message and send an interface configuration response message to the current base station based on the mobility management module. This includes: sending a first configuration transmission message to the mobility management module in the core network, causing the mobility management module to determine the target base station based on the target base station identifier, and causing the mobility management module to send an interface configuration request message to the target base station. The first configuration transmission message includes the current base station identifier of the current base station, the target base station identifier, and first interface configuration information. The interface configuration request message includes the current base station identifier and the first interface configuration information.

[0139] In some optional implementations, after sending a first interface setting request to the target base station based on the second interface configuration information and obtaining the second interface setting request sent by the target base station based on the first interface configuration information to establish an interface connection between the current base station and the target base station, the method further includes: obtaining context information of a preset terminal device based on the interface connection between the current base station and the target base station.
