[0298] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0299] In this embodiment of the invention, an auxiliary device status control method and related equipment are proposed to solve the existing technical problem of how to add a new SN or activate other SNs in a terminal.

[0300] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is one of the flowcharts of an auxiliary equipment status control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, used for main equipment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0301] Step 101: Send a control command to the first auxiliary device or the second auxiliary device;

[0302] The control command is used to execute at least one of the following:

[0303] Add the first auxiliary device to the terminal, add the second auxiliary device to the terminal, activate the first auxiliary device, activate the second auxiliary device, deactivate the first auxiliary device, and deactivate the second auxiliary device.

[0304] The primary device may include a primary node MN or a primary cell group MCG, the first secondary device includes a first secondary node SN or a first secondary cell group SCG, and the second secondary device includes a second secondary node SN or a second secondary cell group SCG.

[0305] It should be noted that the cell group controlled by the master node MN is called the master cell group (MCG), and the cell group controlled by the secondary node SN is called the secondary cell group (SCG). Each cell group contains one special cell (SpCell) and a series of secondary cells (SCell). In the MCG, the special cell is called the primary cell (PCell), and in the SCG, the special cells are called the primary-secondary cell (PSCell).

[0306] In one embodiment, when the main device is MN, the first auxiliary device is a first SN and / or a first SCG, and the second auxiliary device is a second SN and / or a second SCG.

[0307] It should be noted that the terminal can be User Equipment (UE). Non-standalone networking supports dual connectivity, meaning that the MN and SN jointly serve a specific UE, and existing protocols support this. The Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer of the radio bearer can reside in either the MN or the SN. Therefore, for dual connectivity, such as... Figure 2 As shown, there may be various bearer types, such as MN terminated SCG bearer, SN terminated MN bearer, split bearer, MCG bearer, and SCG bearer. Furthermore, the network can deactivate the SN, and either the UE or the network can trigger the activation process of the deactivated SN.

[0308] In one implementation, sending control commands to the first auxiliary device or the second auxiliary device may include: receiving target neighbor information sent by the first auxiliary device, the target neighbor information including at least one second auxiliary device with which the first auxiliary device has established an interface; and sending control commands to one or more of the at least one second auxiliary device to add the one or more second auxiliary devices. Thus, the first auxiliary device can autonomously provide information about other nodes with established Xn interfaces to the master device.

[0309] In this embodiment of the invention, a control command is sent to a first auxiliary device or a second auxiliary device; wherein the control command is used to perform at least one of the following: adding the first auxiliary device to the terminal, adding the second auxiliary device to the terminal, activating the first auxiliary device, activating the second auxiliary device, deactivating the first auxiliary device, and deactivating the second auxiliary device. Thus, the control command enables the addition of a new SN or the activation of other SNs to the terminal.

[0310] Optionally, sending control commands to the first auxiliary device or the second auxiliary device includes:

[0311] If the first auxiliary device is already activated:

[0312] A first deactivation instruction is sent to the first auxiliary device, and the first auxiliary device sends a first activation instruction to the second auxiliary device based on the first deactivation instruction. The first activation instruction is used to activate the second auxiliary device; or...

[0313] A second activation instruction is sent to the second auxiliary device, and the second auxiliary device sends a second deactivation instruction to the first auxiliary device based on the second activation instruction. The second activation instruction is used to activate the second auxiliary device.

[0314] The first deactivation instruction includes the identification information of the second auxiliary device to be activated, and the second activation instruction includes the identification information of the first auxiliary device to be deactivated.

[0315] The deactivation and activation instructions, such as the first deactivation instruction, the first activation instruction, the second activation instruction, and the second deactivation instruction, can be explicit, i.e., transmitted through separate signaling; or they can be implicit, such as when the current serving SN receives a bearer configuration request from another SN, etc. This embodiment does not limit them in this way.

[0316] In addition, the identification information can be a cell identifier or a node identifier. When the first auxiliary device is a first SCG and the second auxiliary device is a second SCG, the identification information can be a cell identifier (cell ID), corresponding to the PScell ​​in the SCG. When the first auxiliary device is a first SN and the second auxiliary device is a second SN, the identification information can be a radio access network node identifier (RAN node ID).

[0317] In one implementation, the primary device is the MN, the first secondary device is the first SN, the second secondary device is the second SN, and the first secondary device is the currently serving SN. When the MN decides to change the SCG for the terminal or the UE requests the MN to change the SCG, the MN can send a deactivation instruction to the first SN, carrying the information of the second SN to be activated, the user plane UP anchor point, and bearer change information in the deactivation instruction. After receiving the deactivation instruction sent by the MN, the first SN can send an activation instruction to the second SN to be activated. This activation instruction can be used to indicate the activation of the SCG, and the activation instruction can carry the configuration information of the bearer served by the SCG and data transmission information, etc. It should be noted that if the UP is anchored to the first SN, the first SN can also send the core network tunnel information to the corresponding SN according to the MN's instruction and perform data forwarding.

[0318] In one implementation, the primary device is MN, the first secondary device is the first SN, the second secondary device is the second SN, and the first secondary device is the currently serving SN. When MN decides to change the SCG for the terminal or the UE requests to MN to change the SCG, MN sends an activation instruction to the second SN to be activated, indicating whether the second SN is the user plane anchor point and the original SN where the bearer to be managed by the second SN is located. If the original SN where the bearer is located is the first SN, the second SN sends a request message to the first SN to request the corresponding bearer configuration information and data transmission information. After receiving the request message, the first SN enters a deactivation state, feeds back the bearer configuration information and data transmission information to the second SN, and performs data forwarding.

[0319] It should be noted that the second activation indication may include at least one of the following: indication information for activating the second auxiliary device; indication information for indicating whether the second auxiliary device is a user plane anchor point; and identification information of the auxiliary device corresponding to the bearer to be managed. The identification information of the auxiliary device corresponding to the bearer to be managed may be the original SN managing the bearer, where the bearer is the bearer to be managed by the second auxiliary device.

[0320] In this embodiment, a first deactivation instruction is sent to the first auxiliary device, and the first auxiliary device sends a first activation instruction to the second auxiliary device based on the first deactivation instruction, thereby enabling the auxiliary device to be replaced with the terminal service auxiliary device through the activated auxiliary device; and / or, a second activation instruction is sent to the second auxiliary device, and the second auxiliary device sends a second deactivation instruction to the first auxiliary device based on the second activation instruction, thereby enabling the auxiliary device to be replaced with the terminal service auxiliary device through the auxiliary device to be activated.

[0321] Optionally, the first deactivation instruction further includes at least one of the following:

[0322] User-facing anchor points;

[0323] It carries information about changes.

[0324] The bearer change information may include changes to the SN (Signal Provider) that provides services to the bearer. For example, bearer 1 will be served by SN2, and bearer 2 will be served by SN3.

[0325] Optionally, the first activation indication includes at least one of the following:

[0326] Instruction information used to indicate activation of the second auxiliary device;

[0327] The configuration information carried;

[0328] Data transmission information;

[0329] Core network tunnel information.

[0330] The data transmission information can be used to indicate the data transmission status. For example, the data transmission information may include the maximum successful transmission PDCP sequence number.

[0331] Optionally, the second activation indication further includes at least one of the following:

[0332] Instruction information used to indicate activation of the second auxiliary device;

[0333] Indication information used to indicate whether the second auxiliary device is a user face anchor point;

[0334] Identification information of the auxiliary equipment corresponding to the carrier to be managed.

[0335] Optionally, sending control commands to the first auxiliary device or the second auxiliary device includes:

[0336] Send a first instruction message to the first auxiliary device, the first instruction message being used to instruct the first auxiliary device to send the target neighboring station information;

[0337] Receive target neighbor information sent by the first auxiliary device, wherein the target neighbor information includes at least one second auxiliary device that has established an interface with the first auxiliary device;

[0338] Add one or more of the at least one second auxiliary device to the terminal.

[0339] The master device can send an SN add request to one or more of the at least one second auxiliary device to add one or more second auxiliary devices to the terminal. The interface described above can be the Xn interface.

[0340] It should be noted that in multi-connection scenarios, the network can choose to use one or more SNs to serve the UE, while other SNs are in an inactive state. When all of the UE's Data Radio Bearer (DRB) PDCPs are located on a single SN, for example, if all of the UE's DRB PDCPs are located on the first SN, and the network deactivates the first SN while activating the second SN, there may be a situation where there is no Xn interface between the first SN and the second SN, which may lead to problems such as data interruption or rate reduction, affecting the user experience.

[0341] In this embodiment, target neighbor information sent by the first auxiliary device is received. The target neighbor information includes at least one second auxiliary device that has established an interface with the first auxiliary device. One or more of the at least one second auxiliary device are added to the terminal. Thus, all the second auxiliary devices added to the terminal have established interfaces with the first auxiliary device, thereby enabling rapid activation and deactivation between SCGs and ensuring that activation and deactivation of different SCGs do not affect the data transmission of the UE.

[0342] Optionally, sending the first instruction information to the first auxiliary device includes:

[0343] During the process of adding the first auxiliary device to the terminal, a first instruction message is sent to the first auxiliary device; or

[0344] If the first auxiliary device has been added to the terminal, send a first instruction message to the first auxiliary device.

[0345] Optionally, the first indication information may also be used to request the addition of the first auxiliary device.

[0346] In this embodiment, the first indication information can be carried in the SN Addition Request (SgNB Addition Request), so that the SN Addition Request can trigger the addition of a second auxiliary device to the terminal that has already established an interface with the first auxiliary device.

[0347] Optionally, sending control commands to the first auxiliary device or the second auxiliary device includes:

[0348] If the first auxiliary device has been added to the terminal, a second instruction message is sent to the second auxiliary device. The second instruction message is used to instruct the second auxiliary device to establish an interface with the first auxiliary device.

[0349] In one implementation, the second indication information can be carried in the SN Addition Request (SgNB Addition Request), thereby triggering the establishment of an inter-SN interface through the SN Addition Request.

[0350] It should be noted that after receiving the second instruction information sent by the master device, the second auxiliary device can send an interface establishment request to the first auxiliary device; after receiving the interface establishment request sent by the second auxiliary device, the first auxiliary device can send an interface establishment response corresponding to the interface establishment request to the second auxiliary device; the second auxiliary device receives the interface establishment response corresponding to the interface establishment request sent by the first auxiliary device. If the interface establishment response indicates that the first auxiliary device agrees to establish the Xn interface, then it indicates that the first and second auxiliary devices have successfully established the Xn interface.

[0351] In this embodiment, a second instruction message is sent to the second auxiliary device. The second instruction message is used to instruct the second auxiliary device to establish an interface with the first auxiliary device, so that the second auxiliary device to be added to the terminal can actively establish an interface with the first auxiliary device already added to the terminal, thereby enabling rapid activation and deactivation between SCGs, and ensuring that the activation and deactivation of different SCGs does not affect the data transmission of the UE.

[0352] Optionally, after sending the second instruction information to the second auxiliary device, the method further includes:

[0353] The system receives feedback information sent by the second auxiliary device, which indicates whether the second auxiliary device and the first auxiliary device have successfully established an interface.

[0354] In this embodiment, the master device receives feedback information sent by the second auxiliary device, so that the master device can know the interface establishment status based on the feedback from the subsequently added auxiliary device.

[0355] Optionally, the primary device includes a primary node MN or a primary cell group MCG, the first secondary device includes a first secondary node SN or a first secondary cell group SCG, and the second secondary device includes a second secondary node SN or a second secondary cell group SCG.

[0356] Wherein, when the main device is MN, the first auxiliary device is the first SN, and the second auxiliary device is the second SN;

[0357] When the main device is an MCG, the first auxiliary device is a first SCG, and the second auxiliary device is a second SCG.

Figure 1 The specific implementation of the first auxiliary device shown in the embodiments can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 The related descriptions of the embodiments shown will not be repeated in this embodiment to avoid repetition, and can achieve the same beneficial effects.

[0392] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is the third flowchart of an auxiliary equipment status control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, used for a second auxiliary equipment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0393] Step 301: Receive control commands sent by the master device;

[0412] Optionally, the primary device includes a primary node MN or a primary cell group MCG, the first secondary device includes a first secondary node SN or a first secondary cell group SCG, and the second secondary device includes a second secondary node SN or a second secondary cell group SCG.

[0413] Wherein, when the main device is MN, the first auxiliary device is the first SN, and the second auxiliary device is the second SN;

[0414] When the main device is an MCG, the first auxiliary device is a first SCG, and the second auxiliary device is a second SCG.

[0415] It should be noted that this embodiment is used as a reference for... Figure 1 The implementation method of the second auxiliary equipment shown in the embodiment can be found in the following examples. Figure 1 The related descriptions of the embodiments shown will not be repeated in this embodiment to avoid repetition, and can achieve the same beneficial effects.

[0416] As a specific embodiment, the main device is MN, the first auxiliary device is the first SN, and the second auxiliary device is the second SN, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary equipment status control method may include the following steps:

[0417] Step 401: MN sends an SN Addition Request (SgNB Addition Request) to the first SN;

[0418] Specifically, the MN can include a first indication message in the SN addition request sent to the first SN, instructing the first SN to provide neighboring station information for the established interface; alternatively, the MN can instruct the first SN to provide neighboring station information for the established interface through other separate signaling; and so on. The first indication message can also be used to indicate that the MN will establish multi-connection service for the UE. The MN can instruct the first SN to provide neighboring station information for the established interface when adding the first SN to the terminal; or the MN can instruct the first SN to provide neighboring station information for the established interface after adding the first SN to the terminal.

[0419] Step 402: The first SN sends an SN Addition Request Acknowledge response (SgNB Addition Request Acknowledge) to the MN;

[0420] Specifically, the first SN can provide feedback to the MN regarding neighboring station information for the established interface in the SN Add Request response; or the first SN can provide feedback to the MN regarding neighboring station information for the established interface through other separate signaling. The first SN can provide feedback to the MN regarding neighboring station information for the established interface based on the first indication information sent by the MN; or the first SN can proactively provide feedback to the MN regarding neighboring station information for the established interface.

[0421] In addition, the MN can select and add other SNs from the neighboring station information based on the neighboring station information of the first SN, which already has an interface with the first SN. Thus, all newly added SNs by the MN will have an interface with the first SN.

[0422] Step 403: MN sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration to the UE;

[0423] The RRC connection reconfiguration sent by the MN to the UE can carry information about the first SN.

[0424] Step 404: The UE sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message to the MN.

[0425] Step 405: MN sends an SN reconfiguration complete message (SgNB Reconfiguration Complete) to the first SN;

[0426] In this process, the MN sends a message to the first SN indicating that the first SN has been successfully added to the terminal.

[0427] Step 406: MN sends an SN Addition Request (SgNB Addition Request) to the second SN;

[0428] In this context, the second SN is a SN that is not the first SN added by the terminal. For a non-first SN, the MN can carry information about the SNs already added by the terminal in the SN addition request or other separate signaling to trigger the establishment of an interface between the non-first SN and the already added SNs. For example, if the second SN and the first SN have not established an interface, the MN can carry second indication information in the SN addition request sent to the second SN to instruct the second SN to establish an interface with the first SN.

[0429] Step 407: The second SN sends an Xn interface establishment request to the first SN;

[0430] Step 408: The first SN sends an interface establishment request (Xn Setup Request Acknowledge) response to the second SN;

[0431] Once the interface between the first SN and the second SN is established, the network can save the neighbor cell relationship for use in serving the UEs under the current network.

[0432] Step 409: The second SN sends an SN Addition Request Acknowledge response (SgNB Addition Request Acknowledge) to the MN;

[0433] The second SN can carry feedback information in the SN add request response sent to the MN, indicating whether the second SN and the first SN have successfully established an interface.

[0434] Step 410: MN sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration to the UE;

[0435] The RRC connection reconfiguration sent by the MN to the UE can carry information about the second SN.

[0436] Step 411: The UE sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message to the MN.

[0437] In this embodiment, by establishing an interface between the first SN and the second SN, or by sending neighbor station information of the established interface to the MN through the first SN, it can be ensured that the SNs added by the MN have established an Xn interface, enabling data and signaling interaction. Furthermore, by triggering relevant interactions between SCGs through activation and / or deactivation commands, data interruption problems caused by UP conversion during SCG activation and deactivation are avoided, while minimizing related latency.
