请参考图1,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种无线通信系统的结构示意图。如图1所示,无线通信系统是基于蜂窝移动通信技术的通信系统,该无线通信系统可以包括:若干个UE11以及若干个基站12。
其中,UE11可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。UE11可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,UE11可以是物联网UE,如传感器设备、移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有物联网UE的计算机,例如,可以是固定式、便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的装置。例如,站(Station,STA)、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)、移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station)、接入点、远程UE(remote terminal)、接入UE(access terminal)、用户装置(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户设备(user device)、或用户UE(user equipment,UE)。或者,UE11也可以是无人飞行器的设备。或者,UE11也可以是车载设备,比如,可以是具有无线通信功能的行车电脑,或者是外接行车电脑的无线通信设备。或者,UE11也可以是路边设备,比如,可以是具有无线通信功能的路灯、信号灯或者其它路边设备等。
基站12可以是无线通信系统中的网络侧设备。其中,该无线通信系统可以是第四代移动通信技术(the 4th generation mobile communication,4G)系统,又称长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统;或者,该无线通信系统也可以是5G系统,又称新空口(new radio,NR)系统或5G NR系统。或者,该无线通信系统也可以是5G系统的再下一代系统。其中,5G系统中的接入网可以称为NG-RAN(New Generation-Radio Access Network,新一代无线接入网)。或者,MTC系统。
其中,基站12可以是4G系统中采用的演进型基站(eNB)。或者,基站12也可以是5G系统中采用集中分布式架构的基站(gNB)。当基站12采用集中分布式架构时,通常包括集中单元(central unit,CU)和至少两个分布单元(distributed unit,DU)。集中单元中设置有分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路层控制协议(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层的协议栈;分布单元中设置有物理(Physical,PHY)层 协议栈,本公开实施例对基站12的具体实现方式不加以限定。
基站12和UE11之间可以通过无线空口建立无线连接。在不同的实施方式中,该无线空口是基于第四代移动通信网络技术(4G)标准的无线空口;或者,该无线空口是基于第五代移动通信网络技术(5G)标准的无线空口,比如该无线空口是新空口;或者,该无线空口也可以是基于5G的更下一代移动通信网络技术标准的无线空口。
在一些实施例中,UE11之间还可以建立E2E(End to End,端到端)连接。比如车联网通信(vehicle to everything,V2X)中的V2V(vehicle to vehicle,车对车)通信、V2I(vehicle to Infrastructure,车对路边设备)通信和V2P(vehicle to pedestrian,车对人)通信等场景。
在一些实施例中,上述无线通信系统还可以包含网络管理设备13。
若干个基站12分别与网络管理设备13相连。其中,网络管理设备13可以是无线通信系统中的核心网设备,比如,该网络管理设备13可以是演进的数据分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)中的移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)。或者,该网络管理设备也可以是其它的核心网设备,比如服务网关(Serving Gate Way,SGW)、公用数据网网关(Public Data Network GateWay,PGW)、策略与计费规则功能单元(Policy and Charging Rules Function,PCRF)或者归属签约用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)等。对于网络管理设备13的实现形态,本公开实施例不做限定。
对于地面固定小区的通信场景,当小区内UE所观测到的服务LEO卫星的仰角即将低于最低仰角的阈值时,小区内所有的UE即将失去此卫星的覆盖,需要接入新的卫星的小区。所以,即使UE相对于地面静止,考虑到卫星的移动,为了保证NTN网络的服务连续性,地面固定小区的场景仍然需要移动性管理。为了能够满足上述UE接入新的小区的需求,在地球上某一特定点上连续两颗LEO卫星之间有足够的时间进行重叠覆盖,以便小区内大量UE有足够的时间能够离开原卫星覆盖的小区并接入新卫星的小区。
如图2A所示,在地面固定小区的通信场景中,随着卫星的移动,卫星只能服务地面上某一固定区域一段时间,在某一时刻,此区域内UE由于卫星的离开,需要进行服务链路的切换,接入新的卫星。如图2A所示,假设卫星1和卫星2都沿着同一个方向运动,则卫星1和卫星2在对小区PCI1和PCI2的覆盖过程中发生切换。
参考图2B所示,在地面网络(Terrestrial Networks,TN)系统中,UE可以根据小区中心与小区边缘的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power,PSPR)或参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Received Quality,RSPQ)的明显差异来确定UE是否处于小区边缘附近。地面基站(gNB)发射的信号,到近UE和远UE的接收信号强度可以看出来从小区中心到小区边缘衰减得比较明显。但在NTN网络中,小区半径大,UE在小区中心或者边缘(即近UE和远UE),其RSRP/RSRQ差异较小,远近效应并不明显。所以TN网络中基于信号强度来触发切换并不适用于NTN网络。在相关技术中,在NTN网络中引入基于位置的基于条件的切换(Conditional Handover,CHO)触发事件和基于时间/定时器的触发事件。
当在服务链路切换(Service Link Switch)中采用基于时间/定时器的CHO触发事件,UE需要上报自身的位置,网络根据UE上报的位置信息来配置CHO触发时间/定时器时长。但是考虑到UE的隐私,所以可能在NTN中并不支持UE上报自己的位置信息。
有鉴于此,如图3所示,本公开实施例提供一种接入方法,其中,应用于UE中,包括:
S110:接收所述UE接入NTN网络的辅助信息;
S120:根据UE的位置信息和所述辅助信息,确定接入目标卫星的时间信息。
该辅助信息可为NTN网络根据目标卫星的星历信息确定的,但不直接包含目标卫星的星历信息的信息。
UE会接收到NTN网络下发的辅助信息,该辅助信息可为UE当前的服务卫星下发或者,为当前覆盖预设小区的源卫星下发。该服务卫星可为UE当前接入的卫星。
所述目标卫星可为所述UE待接入的下一个卫星。
此处的服务卫星和/或所述目标卫星均可为LEO卫星,但不限于LEO卫星。
所述预设小区可包括但不限于地面固定小区。
在本公开实施例中,UE接收到辅助信息之后结合自己的位置信息,确定出接入到目标卫星的时间信息。该时间信息可为任意可供UE确定何时能够接入到目标卫星的时间信息,和/或可供UE确定出能够在哪个时间段或持续多长时间接入到所述目标卫星的时间信息。
通过不携带目标卫星的星历信息的辅助信息的下发,UE可以在不上报自身的位置信息的情况下,也在不知晓目标卫星的星历信息的情况下,可以简便的确定出接入到目标卫星的时间信息,从而减少了UE的位置信息和/或目标卫星的星历信息的传输过程中的泄露,提升了目标卫星的星历信息和/或UE的位置信息的信息安全性。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息包括以下至少之一:
预设小区的小区标识;其中,所述预设小区为:所述UE接入所述目标卫星时所在的小区;
所述目标卫星的覆盖区域的变化信息;
所述变化信息与接入时间参数之间的对应关系信息;其中,所述接入时间参数,指示所述UE在所述预设小区内接入所述目标卫星的时间参数;
接入所述目标卫星的接入定时器的启动时刻信息;
公共时长的时长信息;其中,所述公共时长包括:从预设时刻开始到所述目标卫星经过预设小区的第一参考位置的预测时刻之间的时长;
参考点信息,是预设小区的第二参考位置的位置信息。
所述预设小区可为:UE当前所在的小区和/或UE根据自身的移动信息确定出预测出的接入到目标卫星时所在的小区。
所述小区标识可为小区ID(Identification,ID),示例性地,所述小区标识可为所述预设小区的物理小区标识(Physical Cell ID,PCI)。
参考图4A和图4B所示,源卫星的覆盖区域和目标卫星的覆盖区域都可能大于预设小区的面积。 若预设小区为地面固定小区(或称地面静止小区),则如图4A所示,当前预设小区被源卫星覆盖。随着时间的推移,源卫星和目标卫星都在移动,到图4B所示的时刻,预设小区的一部分同时被源卫星和目标卫星覆盖,预设小区的另一个部分仅被目标卫星覆盖。
若UE位于预设小区内,若预设小区的小区标识维持不变的情况下,UE需要将服务链路从源卫星切换到目标卫星上,则需要获得目标卫星能够接入的时间信息。当然在另一个实施例中,预设小区在地面静止,但是随着覆盖其卫星的变换,预设小区的小区标识也可以发生变化,例如,从目标卫星覆盖预设小区时的PCI不同于源卫星覆盖预设小区时的PCI。
所述辅助信息还可包括:目标卫星的覆盖区域的变化信息,该变化信息体现了目标卫星的覆盖区域的在时域上的变化情况。该变化信息可是根据目标卫星的星历信息确定的,但并非是目标卫星的星历信息的本身。
若此时,UE接收到所述变化信息,可以根据UE接入到目标卫星的历史接入信息,结合所述变化信息,可以结合自身的位置信息,当自身位于目标卫星的一个覆盖区域内之后,结合在该覆盖区域内的历史接入信息等,可以确定出在对应目标卫星的对应覆盖区域内的接入时间等确定出在预设小区内接入到目标卫星的时间信息。
再例如,UE除了接收辅助信息之后还可以从NTN网络的网络侧接收接入配置信息,该接入配置信息可至少指示在预设小区内接入到目标卫星的一个覆盖区域的时间信息,然后结合变化信息得到的接入到不同覆盖区域之间的时间偏移量,如此,UE可以确定出在覆盖区域内接入目标卫星的每一个覆盖区域的时间信息。
例如,所述目标卫星的覆盖区域的变化信息可包括:目标卫星在一个周期内能够覆盖的区域(即所述覆盖区域)的区域信息形成列表。
所述变化信息与接入时间参数之间的对应关系信息,该对应关系信息指示的是:目标卫星的覆盖区域与在目标卫星的对应覆盖区域内接入目标卫星的时间参数之间的对应关系。
如此,若UE接收到该对应关系,可以根据覆盖区域和接入时间参数之间的对应关系,结合自身位置是否在对应覆盖区域,就可以确定出UE在预设小区哪个区域,和/或UE所在位置是否可以接入到目标卫星、和/或具体何时接入到目标卫星等信息。
所述接入定时器可为:接入到目标卫星的定时器。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息还包括:接入定时器的启动时刻信息。由于卫星小区的覆盖面积大,不同UE接收到相同卫星发送的传输时延是不同的,相对于UE接收到辅助信息或者接入定时器的定时信息之后直接启动接入定时器,在不同UE之间形成接入定时器的启动时间差的现象,在本公开实施例的辅助信息中携带有接入定时器的启动时刻信息。该启动时刻信息指示的是:接入定时器的启动时刻。如此,辅助信息通过启动时刻信息的携带,可以实现不同UE启动的接入定时器的启动时刻的一致性。
在一个实施例中,所述接入定时器可为供UE确定接入到目标卫星的时间信息的定时器示例性地,所述UE可以在接入定时器的运行时间范围内接入到目标卫星,或者,UE可以在接入定时器超 时时接入到目标卫星。当然以上仅是对接入定时器为UE确定接入到目标卫星的时间信息的举例,具体实现时不局限于此。
在一个实施例中,所述变化信息与接入时间参数之间的对应关系信息,指示以下至少之一:
所述目标卫星的覆盖区域与接入时刻的对应关系;
所述目标卫星的覆盖区域与接入定时器的定时时长的对应关系;
所述目标卫星的覆盖区域与接入定时器的调整参数的对应关系;其中,所述调整参数,指示所述接入定时器相对于公共时长的调整参数。
例如,将目标卫星在运行时所覆盖的区域划分为N个覆盖区域,则此时所述变换信息与接入时间参数之间的对应关系信息指示的所述目标卫星的覆盖区域与接入时刻的对应关系,可包括:N个覆盖区域与这N个覆盖区域分别对应的接入时刻之间的对应关系。
该接入时刻可为绝对时刻。该绝对时刻包括但不限于协调世界时间UTC来指示或者某个地区的时间来指示,例如,北京时间或东京时间等。
在一个实施例中,公共时长可为:在该预设小区内的所有UE接入到目标小区等待的公共时长。若UE等待公共时长,则目标卫星可能覆盖整个预设小区,则该预设小区内的所有UE都可以接入到目标卫星。
在另一个实施例中,目标卫星相对于地面的预设小区是移动的,位于预设小区的边缘的UE实际上可能不用等待公共时长就可以接入到目标小区。在一个实施例中,还引入了接入定时器;该接入定时器的定时时长可根据公共时长来确定。具体如何根据公共时长来确定,可以是根据调整参数来确定。该调整参数可以用于调整公共时长,调整的结果即可为所述接入定时器的定时时长。
在一些实施例中,所述调整参数包括:
偏移量;和/或,缩放比例。
所述偏移量,可以用于与所述公共时长进行加减法运算,从而得到UE所在位置对应的接入定时器的定时时长。
所述缩放比例,可以用于通过与公共时长的乘法运算,从而得到UE所在位置对应的接入定时器的定时时长。
在一个实施例中,公共时长:根据所述目标卫星的星历信息确定的所述目标卫星经过预设小区的第一参考位置的预测时刻,和所述预设时刻之间的时长。
此处的第一参考位置可为预设小区内任意位置,例如,预设小区的中心点的位置,或者,所述预设小区内与目标卫星当前距离最小的点的位置。
总之这里的第一参考位置可为预先设置的预设小区内的任意一个位置。
所述参考点位置信息,可为预设小区内第二参考点的位置,同样地,此处的第二参考点可为所述预设小区的小区中心点或者边缘位置处的边缘点。
在本公开实施例中,所述第一参考点和第二参考点可以相同或者不相同。
在一个实施例中,所述预设时刻包括:
当前时刻;
或者,
服务链路更换配置的接收时刻。
所述当前时刻可为:所述辅助信息下发的当前时刻。
所述服务链路更换配置的接收时刻,为:UE接收到服务链路更换配置的时刻。所述服务链路更换配置,用于指示UE进行服务链路的更换。
所述服务链路为UE与服务卫星之间的链路。
在一些实施例中,所述目标卫星的覆盖区域的变化信息,包括:
所述目标卫星依次经过的多个所述覆盖区域的区域信息的序列。
例如,目标卫星在未来预设的一段时长内将陆续经过并覆盖区域A、区域B、区域C及区域D。将区域A、区域B、区域C及区域D的区域信息在时域上依次排序,形成所述序列。
此时,UE接收到的就是由区域信息构成的序列,就可以在不用知晓目标卫星的星历信息的情况下,就能够知晓目标卫星未来的预设时长将依次覆盖的区域,若UE在目标卫星经过的时候正好在目标卫星的覆盖区域内,则可以接入到目标卫星。在接入目标卫星时,UE可以通过小区切换请求,接入到目标卫星所形成的小区内,或者在不切换小区的情况下通过服务链路更换接入到目标卫星。
在一些实施例中,所述区域信息可以表示为以下之一:
极坐标系的极点位置的位置信息及所述极坐标系的轴向方向、及所述覆盖区域在所述极坐标系内的极坐标;
所述覆盖区域的经纬度;
所述覆盖区域在世界坐标系内的坐标;
所述覆盖区域的基准位置的位置信息和基准距离的距离信息。
所述目标卫星的覆盖区域的区域信息可以多种,以上仅是举例,具体实现时,不局限于以上任意一种举例。
例如,通过极坐标系来指示所述目标卫星的覆盖区域的区域信息。当然也可以指示坐标系来描述目标卫星的覆盖区域的区域信息。
若采用极坐标描述目标卫星的覆盖范围,则在确定UE是否在预设小区内位于目标卫星的覆盖范围内时,可以采用极角范围来确定。
示例性地,当目标卫星的覆盖区域对应的极角范围小于或等于π时,UE通过判断自身所处位置是否在网络配置的某一覆盖区域对应的极角范围内,且UE所在位置与极点位置的连接线段在覆盖区域所在角度的角平分线上的投影大于或等于参考距离,来判定UE位于此覆盖区域内,否则,判定UE不位于此区域内;
当极角范围大于π时,UE通过判断自身所处位置是否在网络配置的某一覆盖区域对应的极角范围内,或UE所在位置与极点位置的连接线段在覆盖区域所在角度的角平分线上的投影小于或等于参考距离,则判定UE位于此覆盖区域内,否则,判定UE不位于此覆盖区域内。
再例如,使用经纬度来描述目标卫星的覆盖区域的区域信息。
在一个实施例中可以世界坐标系的坐标来指示目标卫星依次经过的多个覆盖区域的区域信息。、覆盖区域的基准位置可为预先确定的任意位置,例如,预设小区的小区中心或者地面的任意一个位置。获取到急转位置的位置信息和覆盖区域与基站位置之间的距离信息,如此,UE也可以知晓目标卫星所覆盖区域的区域信息。
示例性地,所述极点位置包括:所述预设小区的小区中心;和/或,所述轴向方向包括:所述卫星的运动方向往地面的投影方向。
此处是对极点位置和/或轴向方向的示例性举例,具体实现过程中,所述极点位置还可以是预设小区中当前最靠近目标卫星的边缘点或者当前距离目标卫星的最远的边缘点。所述轴向方向还可为:目标卫星指向地心的连线方向。
当然以上仅是对极点位置和/或轴向方向的举例,具体实现时不局限于上述举例。
在一个实施例中,所述基准位置,包括:所述目标卫星对所述预设小区的首个覆盖位置;
和/或,
所述基准距离包括:所述卫星的覆盖区域的离基准位置的最近距离、所述卫星的覆盖区域的离基准位置的最远距离。
当然以上仅是对基准位置的举例,具体实现时不局限于上述举例。
在以另一个实施例中,所述S120可包括:
响应于所述辅助信息包括所述变化信息与接入时间参数之间的对应关系信息,根据所述UE的位置信息确定出所述UE位于所述预设小区的所述目标卫星的覆盖区域内,根据所述接入时间参数确定接入到所述目标卫星的时间信息。
示例性地,所述响应于所述辅助信息包括所述变化信息与接入时间参数之间的对应关系信息,根据所述UE的位置信息确定出所述UE位于所述预设小区的所述目标卫星的覆盖区域内,根据所述接入时间参数确定接入到所述目标卫星的时间信息,包括以下至少之一:

响应于所述对应关系信息指示:所述目标卫星的覆盖区域与接入定时器的调整参数的对应关系,根据所述UE的位置信息确定出所述UE位于所述预设小区的所述目标卫星的覆盖区域内,根据所述公共时长及所述调整参数,确定所述接入定时器的定时时长,并确定在所述接入定时器超时时发起接入所述目标卫星的接入请求。
对应关系信息指示的对应关系不同,则UE根据自身的位置确定出位于目标卫星的覆盖区域和/ 或即将位于目标卫星的覆盖区域内时,根据对应关系可以确定出不同的时间信息,例如,确定出接入时刻、接入定时器的定时信息和/或接入定时器的定时时长相对于公共时长的调整参数等,在达到接入时刻时或者接入定时器超时请求接入目标卫星。
在一个实施例中,所述S120可包括:
响应于所述辅助信息包括所述目标卫星的覆盖区域的变化信息,根据所述UE的位置信息与所述所述目标卫星的覆盖区域的变化信息,确定出所述UE位于所述预设小区内所述目标卫星的覆盖区域,根据多个所述目标卫星的覆盖区域之间的接入时间偏移量和至少一个所述覆盖区域的接入时间,确定在所述预设小区接入所述目标卫星的时间信息;
或者,
响应于所述辅助信息包括所述参考点信息,根据所述UE位置信息与所述参考点信息指示的参考位置之间相对位置关系,确定所述UE在所述预设小区内接入所述目标卫星的时间信息。
根据所述相对位置关系,结合目标卫星的历史接入数据和/或目标卫星的其他配置信息的至少其中之一,如此,UE就可以在不上报自身的位置信息和/或知晓目标卫星的星历信息的情况下,在预设小区内接入到目标卫星的时间信息。
在一个实施例中,所述在所述预设小区接入所述目标卫星的时间信息包括以下:
在所述预设小区内接入所述目标卫星的绝对时间信息;
在所述预设小区内接入所述目标卫星的接入定时器的定时器信息;
在所述预设小区内接入所述目标卫星的接入定时器的定时时长相对于所述公共时长的调整参数。
所述绝对时间信息可以直接指示在预设小区内接入所述目标卫星的接入时刻。
在另一些实施例中,所述时间信息还可以是接入定时器的定时器信息,该定时器信息包括但不限于:
接入定时器的启动时刻信息和/或定时时长信息。
在另一个实施例中,所述时间信息还可以是接入定时器相对于公共时长的调整参数,此处的调整参数可为前述偏移量和/或缩放比例。
在另一个实施例中,所述S120可包括:
根据所述UE的位置信息确定出所述UE位于预设小区内,根据所述辅助信息包含的接入定时器的启动时刻信息启动所述接入定时器;
在所述接入定时器超时时,在所述预设小区内接入所述目标卫星。
UE接收到辅助信息之后可立即启动所述接入定时器,或者,根据辅助信息携带的启动时刻信息指示的启动时刻启动所述接入定时器;或者,在接收到NTN网络的网络侧下发的接入配置或者服务链路更换配置时启动所述接入定时器。
总之,UE启动所述接入定时器的时间点的确定方式有很种,不管采用哪种方式确定启动时刻,在所述接入定时器超时时,UE都可以在目标小区接入到目标卫星的接入流程。
该接入流程包括但不限于:接入控制和/或随机接入这两个阶段。
在一个实施例中,所述方法还包括:

示例性地,在本公开实施例中,前述任意实施例提到的绝对时间信息指示的绝对时刻包括:协调世界时间UTC。
在一个实施例中,所述接收所述UE接入NTN网络的辅助信息,包括:
接收包含所述辅助信息的广播消息;
和/或,
接收包含所述辅助信息的无线资源控制RRC消息。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息可为面向多个UE的广播消息,同时告知多个UE接入目标卫星的辅助信息。示例性地,该广播消息可为在预设小区内广播的消息,该预设小区可为UE当前的服务小区。
在另一个实施例中,通过RRC消息发送所述辅助信息可为UE粒度的下发所述辅助信息。
例如,UE的当前服务卫星对地运动,对预设小区的覆盖面积越来越小,此时UE可能需要进行服务链路更换。该RRC消息可为触发UE进行从当前与服务卫星之间的服务链路更换到与目标卫星之间的服务链路的RRC消息。如此,不用引入新的消息,就简便的实现了辅助信息的下发,具有与现有技术的兼容性强的特点。
如图5所示,本公开实施例提供一种辅助信息处理方法,其中,应用于网络侧,所述方法包括:
S210:发送供UE接入NTN网络的辅助信息,其中,所述辅助信息,用于供UE根据自身的位置信息确定在预设小区内接入目标卫星的时间信息。
该辅助信息处理方法,应用于网络侧,该网络侧可为NTN网络的网络侧。示例性地,该辅助信息处理方法应用于UE的服务卫星中。
网络侧向UE下发接入NTN网络的辅助信息,该辅助信息是根据目标卫星的星历信息确定的,但是并非目标卫星的星历信息自身。
该辅助信息可用于供UE在不上报自身的位置信息的情况下,确定出接入到目标卫星的时间信息。示例性地,该辅助信息可用于UE在不上报自身的位置信息的情况下,确定出在下发所述辅助信息的预设小区内接入到目标卫星的时间信息。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息包括以下至少之一:
预设小区的小区标识;其中,所述预设小区为:所述UE接入所述目标卫星时所在的小区;

考虑到地面移动小区的场景的服务链路切换中,下一个目标卫星是固定的,所以此卫星的覆盖范围的变化网络也是可知的。
本公开实施例针对上述场景,提出了一种增强的基于时间/定时器触发UE接入目标卫星的方法,考虑到UE的隐私和性能开销,在本方案中UE无需上报自己的位置信息,UE基于自己所处的区域确定接入时间参数,基于此参数触发接入目标卫星的流程。
考虑到可能存在UE无法获取或不允许获取某些卫星的星历信息的情况,基于本公开实施例所提出的区域位置配置方案,UE无需获取卫星的星历信息。
UE根据自己的位置信息以及网络提供的辅助信息来确定UE发起接入目标卫星流程的时间。
辅助信息至少包括以下之一:

区域信息,所述区域信息用于UE确定自身所处区域;多个区域信息将组成前述实施例提供的变化信息。

区域与接入定时器调整参数的对应关系,所述区域与接入定时器调整参数的对应关系指位于此区域UE发起接入目标卫星的流程对应的定时器调整参数。
在一个实施例中,所述区域信息可以由以下方式确定:
所述区域可以由网络以某一位置为极点,以某一固定方向为极轴方向的极坐标系来确定,极点位置包括但不限于小区的中心点。极轴方向可以为卫星运动方向在地面上的投影,也可以为其他任何方向。网络广播极坐标系位置,即极点位置和极轴方向。网络广播各个区域位置对应的极角的范围,以及参考距离。
所述区域也可以由网络通过一组地面上的经纬度或者一组固定的坐标来确定;
所述区域也可以由网络通过基准位置与基准距离来确定,以基准位置为圆心,以基准距离为半径构成相应的区域。所述基准位置可以为目标卫星最先覆盖预设小区的位置。
在一个实施例中,所述公共时长由网络根据卫星的星历信息以及以小区内某一位置作为参考位置来确定,用于配置公共时长的参考位置可以为小区中心点,也可以为小区内其他位置。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息可以通过系统广播或RRC消息提供给UE。
在一个实施例中,响应于所述区域与接入时间参数的对应关系为:区域与接入时刻的对应关系,则网络需要在区域与接入时刻的对应关系中的最早的绝对时刻前给UE配置目标卫星小区对应的接入配置。
在一个实施例中,响应于响应于所述区域与接入时间参数的对应关系为:区域与接入定时器时长的对应关系,或者,区域与接入定时器调整参数的对应关系,且若辅助信息中包含定时器启动时刻T0,网络需要在T0时刻前给UE配置目标卫星小区对应的接入配置。
UE接收到辅助信息之后,结合自身的位置信息,执行接入操作。
若网络提供了区域信息和区域与接入时刻的对应关系,对于不同类型的区域与接入时刻的对应关系,执行的接入操作不同。
例如,UE接收到辅助信息之后结合自身的位置信息执行接入操作,可包括以下至少之一:
响应于所述区域与接入时间参数的对应关系为:区域与接入时刻的对应关系,UE获取所在区域对应的绝对时刻,基于此时刻发起接入目标卫星的流程;
响应于所述区域与接入时间参数的对应关系为:区域与接入定时器时长的对应关系,UE获取所在区域对应的定时器时长,基于此定时器触发UE接入目标卫星的流程;
响应于所述区域与接入时间参数的对应关系为:区域与定时器调整参数的对应关系,UE获取所在区域对应的定时器调整参数,调整公共的定时器,获得此UE对应的用于触发接入目标卫星的定时器,基于此定时器触发UE接入目标卫星的流程。
若网络提供了区域信息,未提供区域与接入时刻的对应关系,UE根据自己所处的区域确定接入卫星的绝对时刻、或定时器时长、或定时器缩放参数。在这种情况下,网络提供了公共时长。
若网络提供了位置参考点,UE根据自身位置与参考点的相对位置关系确定接入卫星的绝对时刻、或定时器时长、或定时器缩放参数,在这种情况下,网络提供了公共时长。
在一个实施例中,若UE基于定时器触发接入目标卫星小区的流程,则执行的接入操作可包括以下至少之一:
若网络提供了定时器启动时刻T0,UE在到达T0时刻时启动定时器,当此定时器超时,触发UE接入目标卫星的流程;
若网络未提供定时器启动时刻T0,UE在接收到接入目标卫星相应配置的系统消息或RRC消息时,启动此定时器,当此定时器超时,触发UE接入目标卫星的流程;
响应于所述区域与接入时间参数的对应关系为:区域与接入时刻的对应关系,若UE基于绝对时刻发起接入目标卫星小区的流程,则当此时刻到达时,基于此时刻发起接入目标卫星的流程。
在一个实施例中,所述绝对时刻可以为UTC时间;
若所述区域由网络的某一个位置为极点,以某一个固定方向为极轴方向的极坐标系来确定,则UE按照网络提供的区域对应的极角范围从小到大的顺序依次判断是否属于此区域内,如图8A、图8B至图8C所示:
当区域对应的极角范围小于或等于π时,UE通过判断自身所处位置是否在网络配置的某一区域对应的极角范围内,且UE所在位置与极点的连接线段在区域所在角度的角平分线上的投影大于或等于参考距离,则判断UE位于此区域内,否则,判断UE不位于此区域内;
当极角范围大于π时,UE通过判断自身所处位置是否在网络配置的某一区域对应的极角范围内,或UE所在位置与极点的连接线段在区域所在角度的角平分线上的投影小于或等于参考距离,则判断UE位于此区域内,否则,判断UE不位于此区域内。如图8A所示,服务卫星(Satellite,SA)0覆盖地面固定的预设小区,随着时间从T1、经过T2向T3移动,目标卫星SA1逐步靠近预设小区并覆盖预设小区。图8B和8C可见,目标卫星SA1对预设小区的覆盖范围逐步增大。覆盖区域的大小,在图8B和图8C中体现为表示预设小区内的灰色填充部分。SA1对预设小区的覆盖角度从角度δd到θ。本公开实施例还提供另一个UE接入方法,具体可如下:
网络广播公共时长为100ms,定时器启动时刻T0为:2020年12月3日12:00:00:00,目标卫星小区ID为:Cell 1
网络广播区域范围信息如下表1:
Figure PCTCN2021070359-appb-000001
表1
UE获取自身位置,并用网络广播的极坐标系来表示,为(π/4,212.1)。
上述表1为一个示例性的举例,表1中的任意一个元素可以单独使用或者组合使用。
UE按照极角范围从小到大的顺序来判断自身是否位于所在区域,即从A~F的顺序,首先判断UE不在A区域的极角范围内,所以UE不在A区域,判断UE位于B区域的极角范围,且UE所在位置与极点的连接线段在区域所在角度的角平分线上的投影线段的长度为150,小于200,故UE位于B区域内,对应的定时器调整参数为0.4,UE对应的接入定时器为40ms
网络在T0时刻前,预先通过RRC消息提供UE接入目标卫星小区的配置;
在T0时刻时,UE启动调整后的定时器,当此定时器超时,触发UE接入目标卫星的流程;
