[0053] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0054] The communication system scenario includes a terrestrial network (TN) and an NTN. The NTN generally provides communication services to ground users in a satellite communication manner. The NTN system currently includes an NR-NTN and an IoT-NTN system, and may further include other NTN systems in the future.
[0055] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 can include a terminal device 110 and a network device 120. The network device 120 can communicate with the terminal device 110 through an air interface. The terminal device 110 and the network device 120 support multiple service transmissions.
[0056] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are only exemplarily described with respect to the communication system 100, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. That is, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, an LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), an Internet of Things (IoT) system, a Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system, an enhanced Machine-Type Communications (eMTC) system, a 5G communication system (also referred to as a New Radio (NR) communication system), or a future communication system, etc.
[0057] In the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1, the network device 120 can be an access network device that communicates with the terminal device 110. The access network device can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area and can communicate with the terminal device 110 (e.g., a UE) located in the coverage area.
[0058] The network device 120 can be an Evolutional Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or a Next Generation Radio Access Network (NG RAN) device, or a base station (gNB) in an NR system, or a radio controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN), or a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a hub, a switch, a bridge, a router, or a network device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), etc.
[0059] The terminal device 110 can be any terminal device, including but not limited to a terminal device that uses a wired or wireless connection with the network device 120 or other terminal devices.
[0060] For example, the terminal device 110 can refer to an access terminal, a user equipment (UE), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user device. The access terminal can be a cellular telephone, a cordless telephone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, an IoT device, a satellite phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device having wireless communication functions, a computing device, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a 5G network, or a terminal device in a future evolved network, and the like.
[0061] The terminal device 110 can be used for Device to Device (D2D) communication.
[0062] The wireless communication system 100 can further include a core network device 130 in communication with the base station, which can be a 5G core network (5GC) device, for example, an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), for another example, an Authentication Server Function (AUSF), for another example, a User Plane Function (UPF), for another example, a Session Management Function (SMF). Alternatively, the core network device 130 can also be an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) device of an LTE network, for example, a Session Management Function + Core Packet Gateway (SMF + PGW-C) device. It should be understood that the SMF + PGW-C can simultaneously implement the functions that can be implemented by the SMF and the PGW-C. In the process of network evolution, the above-mentioned core network device can also be called by other names, or new network entities can be formed by dividing the functions of the core network, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.
[0063] The various functional units in the communication system 100 can also be connected and communicate through a next generation (NG) interface.
[0064] For example, a terminal device establishes an air interface connection with an access network device through a Uu interface, for transmission of user plane data and control plane signaling; the terminal device can establish a control plane signaling connection with an AMF through an NG interface 1 (N1 for short); an access network device, such as a next generation wireless access base station (gNB), can establish a user plane data connection with a UPF through an NG interface 3 (N3 for short); the access network device can establish a control plane signaling connection with the AMF through an NG interface 2 (N2 for short); the UPF can establish a control plane signaling connection with an SMF through an NG interface 4 (N4 for short); the UPF can exchange user plane data with a data network through an NG interface 6 (N6 for short); the AMF can establish a control plane signaling connection with the SMF through an NG interface 11 (N11 for short); the SMF can establish a control plane signaling connection with a PCF through an NG interface 7 (N7 for short).
[0065] FIG. 1 exemplarily shows one base station, one core network device, and two terminal devices. Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 can include multiple base station devices and each base station can include other numbers of terminal devices within its coverage, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0066] NTN generally provides communication services to ground users in the manner of satellite communication. Compared with ground cellular network communication, satellite communication has many unique advantages. First, satellite communication is not limited by the user's region. For example, general terrestrial communication cannot cover oceans, high mountains, deserts, and other areas where communication equipment cannot be set up or where communication coverage cannot be provided due to sparse population. However, for satellite communication, since a satellite can cover a large area of the ground, and the satellite can orbit the earth, in theory, every corner of the earth can be covered by satellite communication. Second, satellite communication has great social value. Satellite communication can cover remote mountainous areas, poor countries or regions at a low cost, so that people in these areas can enjoy advanced voice communication and mobile Internet technology, which is conducive to narrowing the digital gap with developed areas and promoting the development of these areas. Third, satellite communication has a long distance, and the cost of communication does not increase significantly as the communication distance increases. Finally, satellite communication has high stability and is not limited by natural disasters.
[0067] NTN technology can be combined with various communication systems. For example, NTN technology can be combined with an NR system to form an NR-NTN system. For another example, NTN technology can be combined with an Internet of Things (IoT) system to form an IoT-NTN system. As an example, an IoT-NTN system can include an NB-IoT-NTN system and an eMTC-NTN system.
[0068] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of another communication system according to embodiments of the present application.
[0069] As shown in FIG. 2, the communication system includes a terminal device 1101 and a satellite 1102, and the terminal device 1101 and the satellite 1102 can perform wireless communication. The network formed by the terminal device 1101 and the satellite 1102 can also be referred to as an NTN. In the architecture of the communication system shown in FIG. 2, the satellite 1102 can have the function of a base station, and the terminal device 1101 and the satellite 1102 can directly communicate with each other. In the architecture of the system, the satellite 1102 can be referred to as a network device. In some embodiments of the present application, multiple network devices 1102 can be included in the communication system, and each network device 1102 can include a certain number of terminal devices within its coverage, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0070] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of another communication system according to embodiments of the present application.
[0071] As shown in FIG. 3, the communication system includes a terminal device 1201, a satellite 1202 and a base station 1203, and the terminal device 1201 and the satellite 1202 can perform wireless communication, and the satellite 1202 and the base station 1203 can communicate with each other. The network formed by the terminal device 1201, the satellite 1202 and the base station 1203 can also be referred to as an NTN. In the architecture of the communication system shown in FIG. 3, the satellite 1202 can not have the function of a base station, and the communication between the terminal device 1201 and the base station 1203 needs to be relayed through the satellite 1202. In this architecture of the system, the base station 1203 can be referred to as a network device. In some embodiments of the present application, multiple network devices 1203 can be included in the communication system, and each network device 1203 can include a certain number of terminal devices within its coverage, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The network device 1203 can be the network device 120 in FIG. 1.
[0072] It should be understood that the above-mentioned satellite 1102 or satellite 1202 includes but is not limited to:
[0073] Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, High Elliptical Orbit (HEO) satellites, etc. The satellite can use multiple beams to cover the ground, for example, a satellite can form dozens or even hundreds of beams to cover the ground. In other words, one satellite beam can cover a ground area with a diameter of dozens to hundreds of kilometers to ensure the coverage of the satellite and improve the system capacity of the entire satellite communication system.
[0074] As an example, the altitude range of the LEO satellite can be 500 km-1500 km, the corresponding orbit period can be about 1.5 hours-2 hours, the signal propagation delay of single-hop communication between users can generally be less than 20 milliseconds, the maximum satellite visible time can be 20 minutes, the signal propagation distance of the LEO satellite is short and the link loss is small, and the transmission power requirement of the user terminal is not high. The orbit altitude of the GEO satellite can be 35786 km, the rotation period around the earth can be 24 hours, and the signal propagation delay of single-hop communication between users can generally be 250 milliseconds.
[0075] In order to ensure the coverage of the satellite and improve the system capacity of the entire satellite communication system, the satellite adopts multi-beam to cover the ground, and a satellite can form dozens or even hundreds of beams to cover the ground; a satellite beam can cover a ground area with a diameter of dozens to hundreds of kilometers.
[0076] It should be noted that FIGS. 1-3 are only schematic in the form of examples of the system to which the present application is applied, and of course, the method shown in the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to other systems. In addition, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this paper. The term "and / or" in this paper is only to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects. It should also be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be direct indication or indirect indication, and can also represent an associated relationship. For example, A indicates B, which can mean that B can be obtained through A; or it can mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; or it can mean that A and B have an associated relationship. It should also be understood that "corresponding" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can mean a direct correspondence or an indirect correspondence between the two, or it can mean an associated relationship between the two, or it can mean an indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc. It should also be understood that "predefined" or "predefined rule" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be realized by pre-saving the corresponding code, table or other means that can be used to indicate related information in the device (for example, including terminal equipment and network equipment), and the specific implementation manner of the present application is not limited. For example, the predefinition can mean the definition in the protocol. It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the "protocol" can mean a standard protocol in the communication field, which can include the LTE protocol, the NR protocol and the related protocol applied to the future communication system, and the present application is not limited thereto.
[0077] Satellites can be divided into two types according to the functions they provide: transparent payload and regenerative payload. For transparent payload satellites, only the functions of radio frequency filtering, frequency conversion and amplification are provided, and only the transparent forwarding of signals is provided, without changing the waveform signals forwarded. For regenerative payload satellites, in addition to the functions of radio frequency filtering, frequency conversion and amplification, the functions of demodulation / decoding, routing / conversion, and encoding / modulation can also be provided, which have part or all of the functions of a base station.
[0078] In the NTN, one or more gateways can be included for communication between the satellite and the terminal.
[0079] Figures 4 and 5 respectively show schematic diagrams of NTN scenarios based on transparent payload satellites and regenerative payload satellites.
[0080] As shown in Figure 4, for the NTN scenario based on transparent payload satellites, the gateway and the satellite communicate through the feeder link, and the satellite and the terminal can communicate through the service link. As shown in Figure 5, for the NTN scenario based on regenerative payload satellites, the satellite and the satellite communicate through the inter-satellite link, the gateway and the satellite communicate through the feeder link, and the satellite and the terminal can communicate through the service link.
[0081] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the related technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described below. The following related technologies can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application in any manner, and all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
[0082] Currently, with the pursuit of speed, delay, high mobility, energy efficiency, and the diversity and complexity of future life services, the 3GPP international standard organization has begun to develop 5G. The main application scenarios of 5G are: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), low latency and high reliability communication (URLLC), and large-scale machine type communication (mMTC).
[0083] NR can also be deployed independently. In order to reduce air signaling and quickly recover wireless connections and data services in the 5G network environment, a new RRC state, RRC deactivation state (RRC_INACTIVE state), is defined. This state is different from the RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE state) and the RRC active (RRC_ACTIVE) state.
[0084] RRC_IDLE: mobility is cell selection / reselection based on UE, paging is initiated by CN, paging area is configured by CN. No UE AS context is stored in the base station. No RRC connection exists.
[0085] RRC_CONNECTED: RRC connection exists, the base station and the UE have UE AS context. The network is aware of the location of the UE at a particular cell level. Mobility is network-controlled mobility. Unicast data can be transmitted between the UE and the base station.
[0086] RRC_INACTIVE: mobility is cell selection / reselection based on UE, connection between CN and NR exists, UE AS context exists on a certain base station, paging is triggered by RAN, RAN-based paging area is managed by RAN, and the network is aware of the location of the UE at a RAN-based paging area level.
[0087] The store-and-forward mode of the satellite refers to that both the service link of the NTN network and the feeder link between the satellite and the ground gateway are not available at the same time, so the satellite needs to store the transmitted data when one of the links is connected and forward the data when the other link is connected, which can reduce the cost of deploying the ground gateway and improve the deployment flexibility, i.e., the ground gateway does not need to be deployed in an area close to the user. This mode is suitable for services that are not sensitive / strict to time delay.
[0088] FIGS. 6 and 7 are schematic diagrams of the ordinary satellite working mode and the store-and-forward satellite working mode, respectively.
[0089] As shown in the ordinary satellite working mode in FIG. 6, the signaling / data interaction between the UE and the ground network through the satellite requires that the service link and the feeder link are available at the same time, so the end-to-end connection between the UE and the ground network through the satellite is continuous.
[0090] As shown in the store-and-forward working mode in FIG. 7, the service link and the feeder link cannot be available at the same time, and the signaling / data interaction between the UE and the ground network through the satellite includes the following two steps:
[0091] Step A: signaling / data interaction between the UE and the satellite through the service link, at this time, the feeder link between the satellite and the ground network is not established; wherein, as the satellite moves away from the UE, the satellite disconnects the service link between the UE and the satellite.
[0092] Step B: when the satellite flies over the ground network, the satellite establishes a connection with the ground network, so that the satellite and the ground network communicate through the feeder link.
[0093] In the LTE system, a cellBarred indication is broadcasted in the system information block (SIB) 1 (or Master Information Block (MIB) in the NR system), which is used to indicate whether the current cell is allowed to access. In the NTN system, the network side implicitly determines the network type of the cell through the existence of the cellBarredNTN applied to the NTN in the SIB1, that is, whether the cell can be used for NTN connection can be determined through the cellBarredNTN in the SIB1. The NTN-capable UE obtains the SIB1 when performing cell selection, and then judges whether the corresponding cell supports NTN connection through the cellbarredNTN in the SIB1. If the cellbarredNTN is barred or the SIB1 does not contain the cellbarredNTN, the NTN-capable UE considers that the cell is in a barred state.
[0094] In the related art, two core network on-board architectures are introduced in the &F mode: architecture 1, split MME architecture (partial MME on-board), and architecture 2, full CN on-board.
[0095] For architecture 1: split MME architecture, the HSS is on the ground, and the MME function is divided into two parts: MME-onboard (MME on the satellite) and MME-ground (MME on the ground network). When the service link is available and the feeder link is unavailable, the UE initiates an ATTACH or TAU request message, and the MME-onboard sends an ATTACH or TAU rejection message to the UE and retains the information in the ATTACH / TAU request message in the MME-onboard. When the feeder link becomes available, the MME-onboard communicates with the MME-ground and the ground HSS to complete the registration of the core network to the UE. The MME-ground sends the ATTACH / TAU message to the MME-onboard and caches it in the MME-onboard. When the service link is available again, the MME-onboard sends the ATTACH / TAU message to the UE, and the UE completes the registration process.
[0096] For architecture 2, full CN onboard, all core networks are carried on the satellite, including MME, SGW, PGW, HSS, E-SMLC, SMSC, and the like.
[0097] In the related art, the store-and-forward mode can support the above two architectures, and the problem of how the terminal device identifies and accesses the network under different networking architectures needs to be solved.

In this case, the terminal device can support the second storage and forwarding architecture or not support the second storage and forwarding architecture.
[0247] In an example, the first satellite supports the second storage and forwarding architecture, and the terminal device does not support the second storage and forwarding architecture supported by the satellite. In this case, the terminal device can support the first storage and forwarding architecture or not support the first storage and forwarding architecture.
[0248] In some embodiments, if the fourth information indicates that the first cell does not allow the terminal device to access;
[0249] The fourth information is also used to indicate that the reason why the first cell does not allow the terminal device to access is that the storage and forwarding architecture of the satellite supported by the terminal device does not include the storage and forwarding architecture supported by the first satellite.

[0253] S1501, the first satellite sends fifth information, the fifth information is related to the storage and forwarding mode of a satellite supported by each frequency point in one or more frequency points, and the fifth information is used to determine the frequency points to be measured and the frequency points not to be measured.
[0254] An embodiment of the present application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to a communication system including a terminal device and a first satellite, as shown in FIG. 16, and includes the following steps:
[0255] S1601, the first satellite sends fifth information to the terminal device, the fifth information is related to the storage and forwarding mode of a satellite supported by each frequency point in one or more frequency points, and the fifth information is used to determine the frequency points to be measured and the frequency points not to be measured.
[0256] Next, the wireless communication method shown in FIG. 14, FIG. 15 or FIG. 16 is described.
[0257] After the terminal device accesses the first satellite, the first satellite can send fifth information to the terminal device, where the fifth information is used to indicate the capability of each frequency band in the one or more frequency points in the store-and-forward mode. The terminal device determines which frequency points in the frequency points to measure and / or which frequency points not to measure based on the fifth information.
[0258] In some embodiments, the fifth information can be carried in a system message.
[0259] Optionally, the system message carrying the fifth information can include one or more of the following: SIB3, SIB4, SIB5, SIB33, and other SIBs.
[0260] In some embodiments, the frequency points measured by the terminal device can be used for neighbor cell measurement.
[0261] In some embodiments, the fifth information includes third indication information corresponding to each frequency point in the one or more frequency points.
[0262] The third indication information is used to indicate whether the corresponding frequency point supports the store-and-forward mode of the satellite, or the third indication information is used to indicate that the corresponding frequency point supports the first store-and-forward architecture or the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite.
[0263] For a frequency point, the first satellite can indicate one or more of the following through the third indication information corresponding to the frequency point:
[0264] Whether the store-and-forward mode of the satellite is supported;
[0265] The first store-and-forward architecture or the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite is supported.
[0266] It can be understood that, in the case that the frequency point supports the store-and-forward mode of the satellite, it is considered whether the first store-and-forward architecture of the satellite or the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite is supported. Therefore, whether the store-and-forward mode of the satellite is supported is a more coarse-grained indication method relative to the first store-and-forward architecture or the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite.
[0267] In the case that the third indication information corresponding to a frequency point indicates whether the store-and-forward mode of the satellite is supported, the terminal device determines whether to measure the frequency point based on whether the store-and-forward mode of the satellite is supported.
[0268] In the case that the third indication information corresponding to a frequency point indicates that the first store-and-forward architecture or the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite is supported, the terminal device determines whether to measure the frequency point based on the store-and-forward architecture of the satellite supported by the frequency point.
[0269] In a case where the third indication information indicates whether the store-and-forward mode of the satellite is supported and the first store-and-forward architecture or the second store-and-forward architecture of the supported satellite, the terminal device determines whether to measure the frequency point based on the store-and-forward architecture of the satellite supported by the frequency point.
[0270] It can be understood that, if the third indication information indicates whether the store-and-forward mode of the satellite is supported and the first store-and-forward architecture or the second store-and-forward architecture of the supported satellite, the third indication information should indicate that the store-and-forward mode of the satellite is supported.
[0271] In some embodiments, for a frequency point, if the terminal device supports the capability of the frequency point, the frequency point is a measured frequency point. The terminal device can measure the frequency point; if the terminal device does not support the capability of the frequency point, the frequency point is an unmeasured frequency point. The terminal device does not measure the frequency point.
[0272] In some embodiments, the frequency point is a measured frequency point; wherein,
[0273] The terminal device supports the store-and-forward mode of the satellite, and the third indication information corresponding to the frequency point indicates that the frequency point supports the store-and-forward mode of the satellite, or
[0274] The terminal device supports the first store-and-forward architecture of the satellite, and the third indication information corresponding to the frequency point indicates that the frequency point supports the first store-and-forward architecture of the satellite, or
[0275] The terminal device supports the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite, and the third indication information corresponding to the frequency point indicates that the frequency point supports the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite.
[0276] In some embodiments, the frequency point is not a measured frequency point; wherein,
[0277] The terminal device supports the store-and-forward mode of the satellite, and the third indication information corresponding to the frequency point does not indicate that the frequency point supports the store-and-forward mode of the satellite, or
[0278] The terminal device supports the first store-and-forward architecture of the satellite, and the third indication information corresponding to the frequency point does not indicate that the frequency point supports the first store-and-forward architecture of the satellite, or
[0279] The terminal device supports the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite, and the third indication information corresponding to the frequency point does not indicate that the frequency point supports the second store-and-forward architecture of the satellite.
[0280] In the embodiments of the present application, the first satellite indicates the support of the store-and-forward mode architecture of each frequency point in the system message, so that the UE performs corresponding neighbor cell measurement according to the capability.
[0281] The embodiment of the application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to a terminal device, as shown in Figure 17, and comprises the following steps:
[0282] S1701, the terminal device sends a second message, wherein the second message is a request message in a mobility management process;
[0283] S1702, the terminal device receives a third message, wherein the third message is used for indicating that the first satellite refuses the request of the second message; and the third message comprises fourth indication information, wherein the fourth indication information is used for indicating that the reason why the request of the second message is refused is related to a store-and-forward mode.
[0284] The embodiment of the application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to a first satellite, as shown in Figure 18, and comprises the following steps:
[0285] S1801, the first satellite receives a second message, wherein the second message is a request message in a mobility management process;

[0287] The embodiment of the application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to a wireless communication system comprising a first satellite and a terminal device, as shown in Figure 19, and comprises the following steps:
[0288] S1901, the terminal device sends a second message to the first satellite, wherein the second message is a request message in a mobility management process;
[0289] S1902, the first satellite sends a third message to the terminal device, wherein the third message is used for indicating that the first satellite refuses the request of the second message; and the third message comprises fourth indication information, wherein the fourth indication information is used for indicating that the reason why the request of the second message is refused is related to a store-and-forward mode.
[0290] In the following, the wireless communication method shown in Figure 17, Figure 18 or 19 is described.
[0291] In the mobility management process, the terminal device sends a second message to the first satellite, and makes a request related to mobility management; after receiving the second message, the first satellite sends a third message to the terminal device, wherein the third message is a response message of the second message, and is used for indicating acceptance or refusal of the request of the second message,
[0292] In the case that the third message is used to indicate rejection of the request of the second message, the fourth indication information can be included in the third message, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate that the reason for rejection of the request of the second message is related to the store-and-forward mode of the satellite.
[0293] In some embodiments, in the case that the first satellite supports the first store-and-forward architecture, the fourth indication information carried in the sent third message is used to indicate that the reason for rejection of the request of the second message is related to the store-and-forward mode of the satellite.
[0294] In some embodiments, the reason indicated by the fourth indication information includes that the first satellite does not support roaming.
[0295] The reason indicated by the fourth indication information that the first satellite does not support roaming can also be described as that the first satellite supporting the store-and-forward mode does not support roaming, or the first store-and-forward architecture does not support roaming, or the first satellite supporting the first store-and-forward architecture does not support roaming.
[0296] In the embodiments of the present application, that the first satellite does not support roaming can be understood as that the first satellite does not support roaming in the case of receiving the current second message.
[0297] In some embodiments, the reason that the first satellite does not support roaming is that the first satellite does not have the subscription information of the terminal device in the first satellite when receiving the second message.
[0298] In some embodiments, the second message includes an attach request message and / or a tracking area update (TAU) request message.
[0299] If the second message is an attach request message, the third message is an attach accept message or an attach reject message in response to the attach request message. In the case that the third message carries the fourth indication information, the third message is the attach reject message.
[0300] If the second message is a TAU request message, the third message is a TAU accept message or a TAU reject message in response to the TAU request message. In the case that the third message carries the fourth indication information, the third message is the TAU reject message.
[0301] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the fourth indication information indicates that the reason for rejection of the request of the second message is related to the store-and-forward mode of the satellite, the value of the fourth indication information can be a predefined cause value.
[0302] In the embodiments of the present application, a new rejection reason is introduced for the first store-and-forward architecture, so that the terminal device can more accurately determine the rejected reason.
[0303] In the embodiments of the present application, the wireless communication methods shown in FIGS. 8-11, the wireless communication methods shown in FIGS. 14-16, and the wireless communication methods shown in FIGS. 17-19 can be independently implemented or implemented in combination without conflict.
[0304] In the following, the wireless communication methods provided by the embodiments of the present application are described through multiple embodiments. The wireless communication methods provided by the embodiments of the present application can be implemented as, but not limited to, the following embodiments one to five.
[0305] Embodiment one, satellite indicates core network on-board architecture options, UE decides whether to access according to capability
[0306] The wireless communication method provided by embodiment one includes:
[0307] The network indicates the store-and-forward mode architecture it supports through system messages (such as SIB1 or SIB33 or other SIBs), wherein one or more of the following is indicated:
[0308] a) Partial MME on-board (partial MME onboard);
[0309] b) Full CN on-board (full CN onboard).
[0310] The UE supporting the store-and-forward satellite capability reads the architecture indication information in the system message broadcast, and the UE decides whether to camp on the current cell and / or initiate access in the current cell according to the store-and-forward mode capability it supports and the architecture indication information broadcast by the network.
[0311] For example, if the UE supports the S&F mode of the partial MME on-board architecture and the current satellite also supports it, or if the UE supports the full CN on-board architecture and the current satellite also supports it, the UE camps on the cell, otherwise the UE does not camp on the cell.
[0312] In some embodiments, the UE refers to the cellBarred-NTN indication information, and only when the cellBarred-NTN indication is allowed, the UE camps on the cell.
[0313] Embodiment two, introduce separate callbarred indication for partial MME architecture and full CN on-board architecture
[0314] The wireless communication method provided by embodiment two includes:
[0315] The network broadcasts separate access barring indication information, such as cellBarred-NTN-partialMME and cellBarred-NTN-fullCN, through system messages (for example, SIB1 or SIB33 or other SIBs), which indicates whether the current cell allows UEs supporting partial MME store-and-forward mode satellites and full CN onboard store-and-forward mode satellites to access the network. For store-and-forward satellite cells:
[0316] The legacy cellBarred is set as barred so that non-NTN-capable UEs are not allowed to access;
[0317] The legacy cellBarred-NTN is set as barred so that UEs not supporting store-and-forward satellite capabilities are not allowed to access.
[0318] A UE supporting store-and-forward satellite capabilities reads the cellBarred-NTN-partialMME and cellBarred-NTN-fullCN indication information in the system message broadcast, and decides whether to be barred for access in combination with UE capabilities. For a UE supporting partial MME onboard architecture, if the cellBarred-NTN-partialMME indication is barred, the terminal considers that the cell is barred for access; if the cellBarred-NTN-partialMME indication is not barred, the terminal considers that the cell allows access; for a UE supporting full CN onboard architecture, if the cellBarred-NTN-fullCN indication is barred, the terminal considers that the cell is barred for access; if the cellBarred-NTN-fullCN indication is not barred, the terminal considers that the cell allows access.
[0319] Embodiment three, the network only indicates S&F, and the UE indicates its capabilities when accessing, and the network decides whether to reject the UE request according to the UE capabilities.
[0320] The wireless communication method provided in embodiment three includes:
[0321] The network broadcasts support for store-and-forward mode through system messages (for example, SIB1 or SIB33 or other SIBs).
[0322] The UE indicates its store-and-forward mode architecture capability information, that is, whether it supports partial MME architecture and / or full CN onboard architecture, to the network when accessing. The capability information can be indicated through the following messages:
[0323] a) NAS message, e.g. ATTACH request or TAU request message
[0324] b) RRC connection setup request message
[0325] c) MSG3 of random access, e.g. indicated by dedicated LCID. For example, LCID xx indicates UE supports partial MME architecture, LCID yy indicates UE supports full CN onboard architecture.
[0326] After the satellite receives the access message, it can decide whether to admit or reject the UE according to its supported architecture and the UE indicated capability information. If the UE is rejected, the satellite can explicitly indicate the reason is that the corresponding store-and-forward mode architecture is not supported.
[0327] Embodiment four, the network indicates in system message the support of store-and-forward mode architecture for each frequency point, so that the UE performs corresponding neighbor cell measurement according to the capability.
[0328] The wireless communication method provided in embodiment four includes:
[0329] The network indicates in system message (e.g. SIB3 / SIB4 / SIB5 / SIB33 other SIB) whether one or more frequency points support store-and-forward mode, and further indicates the specific supported store-and-forward mode architecture, i.e. indicates for one or more frequency points:
[0330] a) support store-and-forward mode;
[0331] b) support partial MME architecture and / or full CN onboard architecture.
[0332] The terminal decides whether to perform measurement or not for which frequency point according to its supported store-and-forward mode capability and the network broadcasted frequency point related information.
[0333] In an example, for the UE of the satellite supporting store-and-forward mode, if the network indicates for a frequency point that it supports store-and-forward mode, the UE performs measurement for the frequency point, otherwise does not perform measurement.
[0334] In an example, for the UE supporting partial MME architecture, if the network indicates for a frequency point that it supports partial MME architecture, the UE performs measurement for the frequency point, otherwise does not perform measurement.
[0335] In an example, for the UE supporting full CN onboard architecture, if the network indicates for a frequency point that it supports full CN onboard architecture, the UE performs measurement for the frequency point, otherwise does not perform measurement.
[0336] Embodiment five, introduce new reject cause value for partial MME architecture
[0337] In the related art, the cause value of the current ATTACH reject includes several kinds shown in Table 1:
[0338] Table 1, cause value example
[0339] Under the partial MME architecture, only when the service link is available, the MME-onboard needs to respond to the UE an ATTACH REJECT message after receiving the UE's ATTACH request message because it cannot communicate with the HSS of the ground network to obtain the UE subscription information. The cause value closest to the cause value in the protocol shown in Table 1 is Roaming not allowed in this tracking area. However, the tracking area in NTN is actually bound to the geographical location, so this cause value is not applicable to the store-and-forward mode (not the tracking area where roaming is not supported).
[0340] In the protocol, a new cause value is defined, for example:
[0341] 1) The satellite supporting the store-and-forward mode does not support roaming (Roaming not allowed in this S&F satellite);
[0342] 2) The partial MME onboard does not support roaming (Roaming not allowed in this partial MME onboard).
[0343] In the embodiments of the present application, by introducing multiple indication information of the store-and-forward mode architecture, it is helpful for the UE to judge access and neighbor cell measurement, so as to more accurately access the cell of the architecture supported by the UE to complete registration and data transmission.
