Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The embodiments of the present application provide a method and a device for routing a data packet, and a method and a device for controlling a data packet transmission. The data packet routing method includes: receiving a first message transmitted by a first node; and determining a transmission path of the data packet according to the first message. The method provided in the present application achieves that a node in a relay network can determine a condition for transmitting the data packet by using other transmission paths, thereby effectively using multiple transmission paths to implement the data packet transmission.

Claims (32)

1. A method performed by a first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a multi-hop network, the method comprising:

receiving, from a central unit (CU) of a donor node, a user equipment (UE) context setup or modification request message including information on a backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) address of a distributed unit (DU) of the donor node, via which downlink data of the first IAB node is transmitted, wherein the DU of the donor node is a destination receiving node on a BAP layer for uplink data from the first IAB node; and

transmitting, to the CU, a UE context setup or modification response message including information on a downlink transport layer and information on a general packet radio service tunneling protocol-tunnel endpoint identifier (GTP-TEID) at the first IAB node.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the CU of the donor node, a radio resource control (RRC) message including address information of the first IAB node and the BAP address of the DU of the donor node.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to a second IAB node, a first message including polling indication information; and

as a response to the first message, receiving, from the second IAB node, a second message including information on a routing identity (ID) and information on an available buffer size per the routing ID.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the routing ID includes a backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) address of the destination receiving node on the BAP layer and an ID of a transmission path.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving, from

the CU of the donor node, identification of a backhaul radio link control (BH RLC) channel used for a transmission of the second message.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the CU of the donor node, identification of a backhaul radio link control (BH RLC) channel used for a transmission of a second message.

7. A first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a multi-hop network, the first IAB node comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor operably coupled to the at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a central unit (CU) of a donor node, a user equipment (UE) context setup or modification request message including information on a backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) address of a distributed unit (DU) of the donor node, via which downlink data of the first IAB node is transmitted, wherein the DU of the donor node is a destination receiving node for uplink data on a BAP layer from the first IAB node; and

transmit, to the CU, a UE context setup or modification response message including information on a downlink transport layer and information on a general packet radio service tunneling protocol-tunnel endpoint identifier (GTP-TEID) at the first IAB node.

8. The first IAB node of claim 7 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from the CU of the donor node, a radio resource control (RRC) message including address information of the first IAB node and the BAP address of the DU of the donor node.

9. The first IAB node of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit, to a second IAB node, a first message including polling indication information; and

as a response to the first message, receive, from the second IAB node, a second message including information on a routing identity (ID) and information on an available buffer size per the routing ID.

10. The first IAB node of claim 9 ,

wherein the routing ID includes a backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) address of the destination receiving node on the BAP layer and an ID of a transmission path.

11. The first IAB node of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from the CU of the donor node, identification of a backhaul radio link control (BH RLC) channel used for a transmission of the second message.

12. The first IAB node of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from the CU of the donor node, identification of a backhaul radio link control (BH RLC) channel used for a transmission of a second message.
