Abstract

The present application provides a method and a device in a communication node for wireless communications. A communication node receives a first signaling; sets contents of a second message at a first moment; transmits a first radio signal, the first radio signal comprises the second message; at a second moment, as a response to not receiving a third message, determines performing a first procedure; the first signaling is used to determine a first time length; the second message comprises link maintenance related information; the third message is triggered by the second message; the second moment is after the first moment and its interval with the first moment is a second time length. Aiming at the problem of increased delay brought by relay communications, the present application proposes a scheme for delaying a determination of a first procedure to avoid triggering the first procedure to early.

Claims (37)

1. A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a first receiver, receiving a first signaling; at a second moment, as a response to not receiving a third message, determining performing a first procedure; and

a first transmitter, setting contents of a second message at a first moment; transmitting a first radio signal, the first radio signal comprising the second message;

wherein the first signaling is used to determine a first time length; the second message comprises link maintenance related information; the third message is triggered by the second message; the second moment is after the first moment and its interval with the first moment is a second time length, and the first time length is used to determine the second time length; the second time length is related to whether the second message is relayed.

2. The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, which receives a second signaling;

wherein the second signaling indicates a first offset, the first offset and the first time length are used to determine the second time length.

3. The first node according to claim 2 , comprising:

the first receiver, when a running time of a first timer reaches the first time length, determining that the first timer is expired; a moment when the first timer is expired being used to determine the second moment;

wherein a third moment is used to determine starting the first timer; the third moment is after the first moment, and an interval between the third moment and the first moment is equal to the first offset.

4. The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, when a running time of a first timer is equal to the second time length, determining that the first timer is expired; a moment when the first timer is expired is used to determine the second moment;

wherein the first moment is used to determine starting the first timer.

5. The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, receiving a first feedback; as a response to receiving the first feedback, starting a first timer; a running time of the first timer reaching the first time length is used to determine that the first timer is expired; a moment when the first timer is expired is used to determine the second moment;

wherein the first feedback is used to determine that the first radio signal is relayed and forwarded.

6. The first node according to claim 5 , wherein the second message carries first information, and the first information is used to trigger the first feedback.

7. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first signaling comprises SIB12 message; the first time length comprises at least one millisecond, and the first time length is configurable.

8. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein a logical channel of the second message comprises a CCCH, and a signaling radio bearer of the second message comprises SRB0; the third message comprises an RRC message.

9. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the link maintenance comprises an RRC connection re-establishment; the second message comprises an RRCReestabilshmentRequest message; the third message comprises any of an RRCSetup message or an RRCReestabilshment message.

10. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the link maintenance comprises an RRC connection recovery; the second message comprises an RRCResumeRequest message or an RRCResumeRequest1 message; the third message comprises any of an RRCSetup message, or an RRCReject message, or an RRCRelease message, or an RRCResume message.

11. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the second message comprises an RRCSetupRequest message; the third message comprises any of an RRCSetup message or an RRCReject message.

12. The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the second moment refers to a moment when a given timer expires.

13. The first node according to claim 12 , wherein the given timer comprises timer T301.

14. The first node according to claim 12 , wherein the given timer comprises timer T319.

15. The first node according to claim 12 , wherein the given timer comprises timer T300.

16. A second node for wireless communications, comprising:

a second receiver, monitoring a first radio signal, the first radio signal comprising a second message; and

a second transmitter, as a response to receiving the first radio signal, transmitting a second radio signal, the second radio signal comprising a second message; or, as a response to not receiving the first radio signal, dropping transmitting a second radio signal;

wherein a first signaling is received by a transmitter of the first radio signal; the first signaling is used to determine a first time length; the second message comprises link maintenance related information; contents of the second message are set at a first moment; at a second moment, as a response to not receiving a third message, a first procedure is determined to be performed; the third message is triggered by the second message; the second moment is after the first moment and its interval with the first moment is a second time length, and the first time length is used to determine the second time length; the second time length is related to whether the second message is relayed.

17. A third node for wireless communications, comprising:

a third receiver, monitoring a second radio signal, the second radio signal comprising a second message; and

a third transmitter, as a response to receiving the second message, transmitting a third message; or, as a response to not receiving the second message, dropping transmitting a third message;

wherein a first radio signal is transmitted, the first radio signal comprises the second message; a first signaling is used to determine a first time length; the second message comprises link maintenance related information; contents of the second message are set at a first moment; at a second moment, as a response to not receiving a third message, a first procedure is determined to be performed; the third message is triggered by the second message; the second moment is after the first moment and its interval with the first moment is a second time length, and the first time length is used to determine the second time length; the second time length is related to whether the second message is relayed.

18. The third node according to claim 17 , wherein the first signaling comprises SIB12 message; the first time length comprises at least one millisecond, and the first time length is configurable.

19. The third node according to claim 17 , wherein a logical channel of the second message comprises a CCCH, and a signaling radio carrier of the second message comprises SRB0; the third message comprises an RRC message.

20. The third node according to claim 17 , wherein the second moment refers to a moment when a given timer expires; and the given timer comprises timer T301 or timer T319 or timer T300.
