Method for performing relay forwarding on integrated access and backhaul links, information acquisition method, node, and storage medium
Provided is a method for performing relay forwarding on integrated access and backhaul (IAB) links. The method includes receiving, by a first IAB node, a data packet; and transmitting, by the first IAB node, the data packet to an IAB donor. Further provided are an information acquisition method, an IAB node, an IAB donor node and a storage medium.
1. A method for performing data forwarding on integrated access and backhaul (IAB) links, comprising:
receiving, by a first network element of an IAB donor, a data packet from a first IAB node according to routing related information, wherein the data packet comprises an adaptor layer header including a target node identifier and routing path information; and
transmitting, by the first network element of the IAB donor, the data packet to a second network element of the IAB donor.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining, by the first network element of the IAB donor, mapping related information from at least one of an access side network or a core network.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the mapping related information is between a general packet radio service tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel information of an F1 interface and the target node identifier.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the GTP tunnel information of the F1 interface includes an address.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adaptor layer header is added by the first IAB node to include the target node identifier and the routing path information.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adaptor layer header is added by an adaptor layer located above a radio link control (RLC) layer.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first network element of the IAB donor is an IAB donor distributed unit (DU) and the second network element of the IAB donor is an IAB donor centralized unit (CU).
8. A device to perform data forwarding, comprising:
at least one processor of a first network element of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) donor, configured to:
receive a data packet from a first IAB node according to routing related information, wherein the data packet comprises an adaptor layer header including a target node identifier and routing path information; and
transmit the data packet to a second network element of the IAB donor according to the routing path information.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to obtain mapping related information from at least one of an access side network or a core network.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the mapping related information is between a general packet radio service tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel information of an F1 interface and the target node identifier.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the GTP tunnel information of the F1 interface includes an address.
12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the adaptor layer header is added by the first IAB node to include the target node identifier and the routing path information.
13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the adaptor layer header is added by an adaptor layer located above a radio link control (RLC) layer.
14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first network element of the IAB donor is an IAB donor distributed unit (DU) and the second network element of the IAB donor is an IAB donor centralized unit (CU).
