Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose methods and related devices for forwarding uplink data, which are used for avoiding the resource waste caused by the repeated transmission of the uplink data on a Un interface in a handover scenario where the target node is a relay node (RN). An method provided in the embodiments of the present invention includes: receiving, by a donor base station with a relay node RN attached thereto, uplink data sent by a user equipment (UE), wherein the RN is a target node in handover; performing, by the donor base station, a handover preparation; sending, by the donor base station, a serial number status transfer message to the RN; and sending the received uplink data sent by the UE to a serving-gateway S-GW.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for a relay node (RN) attaching a network. The RN accesses a first cell. The RN obtains a list of cells that support a relay function and allow being accessed by the RN. When the first cell accessed by the RN is one of the cells in the list and a relay function of a mobility management device serving the RN is supported, not leaving, by the RN, the first cell.
Abstract:
A time domain resource format configuration method is provided. In addition to configuring time domain resources for an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node based on a downlink-flexible-uplink time domain resource format, an IAB donor may further configure time domain resources for the IAB node based on an uplink-flexible-downlink time domain resource format, so that the time domain resources can be flexibly configured for the IAB node, to improve utilization and a throughput of the time domain resources in an IAB network.
Abstract:
A communication method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: An IAB donor gNodeB determines first indication information, and then sends a first message to an eNB, where the first message includes a first control plane message and the first indication message; and the eNB may determine a first radio bearer based on the first indication information in the received first message, and then sends a second message including the first control plane message to an IAB node by using the first radio bearer. The first radio bearer corresponds to a type of a downlink F1AP message, so that the eNB selects different radio bearers for different types of downlink F1AP messages, thereby providing an effective QoS guarantee for a service of a terminal.
Abstract:
This application provides a method of determining an association between logical channel groups, including: The first backhaul node receives a first buffer status report from a first device, where the first buffer status report is used to determine uplink buffer statuses of one or more first logical channel groups of a MAC entity corresponding to the first backhaul node and the first device. The first backhaul node determines, based on the first logical channel group(s) and a first mapping relationship, one or more second logical channel groups associated with the first logical channel group(s), where a second device is a parent node of the first backhaul node, and the first mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between the first logical channel group(s) and the second logical channel group(s) of a MAC entity corresponding to the first backhaul node and the second device.
Abstract:
Example configuration methods and apparatus are described. An example communications system includes a master node and a secondary node that jointly provide a service for a terminal. One example method includes generating configuration information for a signaling radio bearer (SRB) by the secondary node, where the SRB is used to transmit a radio resource control (RRC) message between the secondary node and the terminal. The secondary node sends the configuration information for the SRB to the master node, so that the configuration information for the SRB is sent to the terminal through the master node. The secondary node receives a result of configuring the SRB by the terminal by using the configuration information for the SRB. In this way, the SRB can be established on the secondary node, and used for RRC message transmission between the secondary node and the terminal.
Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, a communication method applied to a first node includes: receiving first information from a second node, wherein the first information comprises an available space size in a first buffer space of the second node, the first buffer space is for buffering a data packet that is to be transmitted through a first path, the first path is a primary path for transmitting the data packet, and the second node is a next-hop node of the first node on the primary path; and in response to the available space size in the first buffer space being less than or equal to a first threshold, determining to transmit the data packet through a third node, wherein the third node is a next-hop node of the first node on a backup path for transmitting the data packet.
Abstract:
The technology of this application relates to a communication method and apparatus. The method includes receiving first resource configuration information from a target donor node, determining third resource configuration information based on the first resource configuration information and sending the third resource configuration information to a first node. The first resource configuration information includes current resource configuration information of a target cell, the target cell is a cell served by a target parent node, and the target parent node is used by the first node to connect to the target donor node. The third resource configuration information is used for resource configuration of a first cell, and the first cell is a cell served by the first node.
