Description

Network insertion householder method and network insertion auxiliary system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the mobile communication technology field, in particular to a kind of network insertion householder method and a kind of network insertion auxiliary system.
Background technology
Along with the fast development of mobile Internet, intelligent terminal universal, and the rise of the new industries such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, mass data transfers becomes the most significant Characteristics of Development in the current wireless communications field.In the face of mass data, attack, operator's existing network (2G/3G/LTE) can't meet current demand.
For tackling this challenge, operation both domestic and external commercial city has started construction and the layout of large-scale WIFI focus.Along with WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks) extensive networking and the introducing of LTE technology, be badly in need of 3GPP(The3 rdgeneration Partnership Project) the interoperability means of network and wlan network, can bring into play shunting action in the LTE stage smoothly with the early investment that guarantees operator, and form more rational control device, increase the profitability of operator.
On the one hand, due to the development along with intelligent terminal, large-screen, the intelligent terminal of high-performance processor becomes development trend.But due to relatively lagging behind of battery technology, cause UE(User Equipment, subscriber equipment or terminal) energy consumption level become a large bottleneck of current terminal development.In the WLAN that is about to open and 3GPP interoperability project (3GPP is in the project of grinding), the power consumption level of UE is an important research direction.Wherein, so-called " interoperability ", for the terminal be under the 3GPP network, wish under the assistance of 3GPP network, helps terminal to switch to wlan network, thereby optimize handoff procedure, makes and shorten switching time, improves handover success rate.
On the other hand, in existing WLAN agreement, 802.11 serial protocols have defined the initial access process of wlan device, and wherein scanning (scanning) is wherein important step.This step needs the STA equipment of terminal to be scanned the APs that may exist on every side, and obtains thus the initial access information of APs.
The mode of scanning is divided into passive type scanning and active scanning.During drive sweep, UE receives the detectable signal from APs passively on each channel, concrete as the Beacon(beacon) frame, and receive initial access information by this signal; During active scan, UE transmission probe request signal initiatively, after APs on every side receives this signal, can initiatively reply and inform initial access information.
Initiatively send detectable signal on channel because active scan needs UE, so energy consumption is larger.And passive type scanning, according in existing 802.11 agreements, the passive search cycle of UE and detectable signal transmitting time and the channel of AP, by UE and AP difference separate configurations, in this case, be easy to occur that UE can't search the situation of detectable signal, specifically as shown in Figure 1.
Supposition AP1, AP2 in Fig. 1 and AP3 send beacon frame channel (channel) A, channel B and channel C are upper respectively, and the transmission cycle of AP1 be T1, the transmission cycle of AP2 is T2, the transmission cycle of AP3 is T3; Simultaneously, UE carries out drive sweep on above-mentioned channel, and the scan period is T.Due to the length in above-mentioned each cycle and the equal UE of selection and each self-configuring of AP of time started point, thereby may occur:
1) in channel A, may be just when UE complete scanning, AP1 starts to send beacon frame;
2) in channel B, may complete and scan a period of time afterwards at UE, AP2 just starts to send beacon frame;
3) in channel C, may be after AP3 complete the transmission of a beacon frame, UE just starts to carry out scanning.
The drive sweep process known based on foregoing description, that in prior art, UE carries out, the sweep time of UE is long, greatly increases the interoperability time delay of UE from 3GPP to the wlan network, but also can therefore increase the energy consumption of UE.
Therefore, how to accelerate the scanning process of UE, and further reduce the energy consumption level of UE, become technical problem urgently to be resolved hurrily at present.

To achieve these goals, the present invention need to realize the content of following part:
One, APs Candidate Set appraisal procedure and principle
1) based on the UE position coordinates
At first, by the position coordinates of UE independent measurement self and report to the 3GPP network, perhaps by the position coordinates of 3GPP network independent measurement UE, perhaps by UE, under the cooperation of 3GPP network, carried out the measurement to self, and report to the 3GPP network, or carried out the measurement to UE by the 3GPP network under the cooperation of UE.
Particularly, any one or its combination of location technology in can be in the following ways: global position system (GNSS, as GPS, dipper system etc.), network-assisted poor location technology (OTDOA) of satellite positioning tech (A-GNSS), the time of advent, angle detection and location technology (AOA) etc.
Specifically as shown in Figure 4, at first, suppose that measuring terminal 402(by above-mentioned location technology is UE) position coordinates be U(x, y), x wherein, y are concrete latitude and longitude coordinates value.Certainly, because there is certain error in location technology, thereby also can not adopt concrete latitude and longitude coordinates value, but be expressed as a scope.
Then, determine the scope be associated with this terminal 402.Above rheme puts coordinate or scope is the center of circle, take the L shown in Fig. 4 as a circular scope of radius formation, and the AP of this scope is considered to belong near the AP of terminal 402, and is included in Candidate Set.Such as in Fig. 4, AP(access point) 1, AP2, AP3 all in above-mentioned circular scope, thereby be included in the Candidate Set corresponding to terminal 402, and AP4 is due in above-mentioned circular scope, thereby can't be included in Candidate Set.
Wherein, L is effective covering radius, can be the fixing numerical value obtained based on experience value, can be also the numerical value calculated in real time.Below introduce several can be for calculating in real time the mode of the numerical value of L:
(1) by formula L=R ± α+γ, calculated.In this formula, parameters R is " precision regulatory factor ", according to the positioning precision of adopted concrete location technology, determines.As adopt the GPS location technology, the R value is at 10 to 20(rice) between; Parameter alpha is " scene regulatory factor ", according to concrete covering scene (High-Density Urban Area, suburb etc.), utilizes the α value to be revised L; Parameter γ is the AP covering radius factor, according to the effective coverage range of AP in the actual deployment scene (when disposing AP or other any times, can by measuring), L is revised.
(2) by formula L=β * R+ γ, calculated.In this formula, β is defined as " scene regulatory factor " (α and β all mean the impact of scene on precision, but they value mode difference); Parameters R, γ are identical with foregoing.
2) based on the residing cell/section of UE
As shown in Figure 5, base station 504 is corresponding to a plurality of cell/sections, can initiatively determine the residing cell/section of terminal 502 by base station 504, or can be by terminal 502 initiatively to base station, 504 report self residing cell/section, then by the 3GPP network of base station 504 correspondences, all AP in terminal 402 cell/section of living in are all included in to the Candidate Set of terminal 502 correspondences.
Such as when terminal 502 during in community 3, same AP1, AP2 and AP3 in community 3 all is included in the Candidate Set of terminal 502 correspondences, and AP4 is due in the community in different (community 1), thereby can't be included in above-mentioned Candidate Set.
3) position coordinates and the UE residing cell/section of while based on UE
In order further to dwindle the quantity of the AP in Candidate Set, make the selection of AP wherein more accurate, can associated methods 1) and method 2).
Such as based on method 1), by obtaining the position coordinates of terminal 602, determine that the AP in terminal 602 certain limits comprises AP1, AP2 and AP3; Based on method 2), according to the residing community of terminal 602, be community 3, determine that the AP in community 3 comprises AP2, AP3 and AP4.Comprehensive the above results, determine that the AP in the Candidate Set that is included into terminal 602 correspondences is AP2 and AP3.
4) state based on AP or configuring condition
Set in advance some alternative conditions, such as the load of the operator under AP, AP, the access of AP etc., thereby the AP that does not meet above-mentioned condition is screened out.
Such as when certain AP load (surpasses a certain threshold value) greatly, this AP should not be included in final selected " APs Candidate Set "; Perhaps, when certain AP forbids access (if do not belonged to same operator) because of certain reason, this AP should not be included in final selected Candidate Set.
Two, the configuration parameter of APs and UE is coordinated
According to existing 802.11 agreement regulations, UE, when carrying out drive sweep, can monitor with certain cycle the detectable signal (Beacon frame) that APs sends on each channel; The Beacon frame is periodically sent by APs, and its cycle is configured by APs.
The present invention wishes to send by reasonably configuring APs time, cycle and the channel parameter etc. of detectable signal (beacon signal), and when UE initiates Network finding, according to the APs deployment parameters, the parameters such as the time of the rational passive search of configuration UE, channel, make the configuration between UE and AP mutually coordinate coupling, thereby reach the purpose of quick discovery APs.
1) for the parameter configuration of AP
Be configured for AP, can be included in the initial configuration during the network design of AP, also can be included in dynamic (or semi-static) configuration based on the WLAN network management system of AP run duration.After the AP configuration adjustment, hope below can meeting at least one or a combination set of:
(1) clock synchronous of the AP in Candidate Set and 3GPP network or keep a regular time poor (offset).By regulating the clock of 3GPP network and the residing wlan network of AP, the time point that contributes to UE to select accordingly the scanning of self to start, thus increase the possibility that scans AP.
(2) between adjacent AP, if exist, cover intersection region, use mutual glitch-free channel.The channel adopted by regulating AP, the channel that makes adjacent AP adopt can not produce mutually and disturb, and such as selecting to produce the channel 1 of disturbing mutually, channel 6, channel 11 etc., thereby avoids channel to disturb mutually the scan channel that affects UE.
(3) use different beacon frame transmitting times between different wireless local network connecting points.Send the time of beacon frame by regulating different AP, thereby make the transmitting time of the AP on different channels mutually stagger, contribute to UE to receive respectively beacon frame on different channels.
(4) the time difference δ of two adjacent wireless local network connecting points transmission beacon frames meets: T-Δ T<δ<2T-Δ T-t, wherein, T is the cycle that described terminal is carried out scan channel, t is that arbitrary described wireless local network connecting point sends the required time span of beacon frame, T1 is that described terminal starts to carry out the time point of scan channel at previous wireless local network connecting point channel of living in, T2 is the time point that described previous wireless local network connecting point starts to send beacon frame, and Δ T=T2-T1.
Send the time difference of beacon frame by regulating adjacent AP, make the UE can be in the situation that scan the beacon frame of previous channel, one also scans beacon frame surely on a rear channel, this mode makes UE can scan AP as much as possible, thereby contributes to realize selection and the access of UE to AP.
For the time difference formula in above-mentioned (4) (T-Δ T<δ<2T-Δ T-t), in conjunction with Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B, describe.
AP1 and the AP2 in channel B of take in channel A as shown in Figure 7 A, are example.Suppose that UE enters in channel A and scanned at certain time point, and, after the Δ T time period, AP1 starts to send beacon frame in channel A.After having experienced time period δ, UE switches in channel B and is scanned, and the AP2 in channel B should start to send beacon frame the earliest just when time period δ end, UE switch to channel B, to guarantee UE, can receive the beacon frame that AP2 sends.
Wherein, if wish, UE can either scan the beacon frame that AP1 sends, and can scan again the beacon frame that AP2 sends, and the minimum value of the time difference δ between AP1 and AP2 is δ min=T-Δ T, and should meet Δ T >=0.
As shown in Figure 7 B, suppose that UE enters in channel A and scanned at certain time point, and, after the Δ T time period, AP1 starts to send beacon frame in channel A.At least after AP1 sends beacon frame, when T finishes, UE switches in channel B and is scanned.Because AP1 and AP2 need the identical time for sending beacon frame under same standard, such as this time period is t, at least should guarantee when AP2 sends beacon frame or afterwards, UE just leave channel B(the T on channel B finish).
Wherein, if wish, UE can either scan the beacon frame that AP1 sends, and can scan again the beacon frame that AP2 sends, and the maximum of the time difference δ between AP1 and AP2 is δ max=2T-Δ T-t, and should meet Δ T >=0.
If make the time started of the AP transmission beacon frame on every two adjacent channels all meet T-Δ T<δ<2T-Δ T-t,, when UE can receive the beacon frame of certain AP transmission, must receive the beacon frame that other AP send.
Yet, in order to reduce the complexity for the configuration of AP, be convenient to realize management, can adopt the mode as shown in Fig. 7 C, between AP corresponding to all adjacent channels, keep poor δ of regular time to send beacon frame, and δ=T(T is UE scan period).
So, in a kind of situation, can be all identical by the cycle that makes the AP transmission beacon frame that all channels are corresponding, such as the T1=T2=T3 made in Fig. 7 C.
In another kind of situation, do not need to regulate the transmission cycle of AP.Such as including channel A in Fig. 7 C, channel B, the AP1 that channel C is corresponding, AP2, respectively twice transmission of AP3 is (owing to being periodic, thereby only with twice, be sent as example and describe) schematic diagram of beacon frame, although AP1, AP2, the transmission cycle that AP3 adopts may be different, but only need to guarantee that the beacon frame that for the first time send of AP1 on channel A can be scanned by UE, and AP1, AP2, AP3 sends for the first time respectively between the time point of beacon frame and meets T-Δ T<δ<2T-Δ T-t, the beacon frame that just can make AP2 and AP3 send for the first time can be scanned by UE, and without the transmission situation of paying close attention to follow-up beacon frame.
2) for the parameter configuration of UE

-network-triggered
√ is due to certain strategy of operator, and the tendentious WLAN of utilization carries out triage operator, needs the Network finding request caused to the handover request of wlan system by network-triggered in cycle;
√ is because the user moves the 3GPP network signal deterioration caused, the Network finding request that the handover request triggered by network side causes;
√ is because the Network finding request that the overweight handover request based on load balancing triggered by the 3GPP network side of 3GPP offered load causes;
The Network finding request that the handover request that √ is triggered by network side because of the consideration that the wlan network underload switches based on load causes.
Step 804, the UE positional information obtain the acquisition with the AP/APs Candidate Set.
The positional information of UE, specifically can be obtained by UE, 3GPP network or both assistance; And based on this positional information, adopt the adjusting of " whether in the UE certain limit " (referring to Fig. 4 and related text explanation thereof) or " whether being positioned at the residing cell/section of UE " (referring to Fig. 5 and related text explanation thereof) to be screened, or adopt above-mentioned two kinds of adjustings to be screened (referring to Fig. 6 and related text explanation thereof) simultaneously.
Step 806, regulated the configuration parameter of the AP in UE and/or Candidate Set.Particularly, according to the difference of controlled plant, can be divided into the configuration parameter of AP is regulated and the configuration parameter of UE is regulated.
the parameter coordination of APs side: the parameter coordination of APs side can be divided into deployment Network Based with two kinds of modes of semi-static configuration,
-deployment Network Based.This mode mainly completes during the network design of APs, by reasonably configuring the parameter of APs in macrocell, can be adapted to the configuration of the UE of all or most execution scanning or access.
-semi-static configuration.To be mainly the network management system of utilizing WLAN carry out semi-static adjusting to the configuration parameter of the APs in Candidate Set to this mode.
No matter adopt which kind of mode, the configuration of APs all needs to meet in following the requirement at least one or a combination set of:
The clock synchronous of the AP in-Candidate Set and 3GPP network or keep a regular time poor (offset).
Between-adjacent AP, if exist, cover intersection region, use mutual glitch-free channel.
Use different beacon frame transmitting times between-different wireless local network connecting point.
The time difference δ that-two adjacent wireless local network connecting points send beacon frame meets: T-Δ T<δ<2T-Δ T-t, wherein, T is the cycle that described terminal is carried out scan channel, t is that arbitrary described wireless local network connecting point sends the required time span of beacon frame, T1 is that described terminal starts to carry out the time point of scan channel at previous wireless local network connecting point channel of living in, T2 is the time point that described previous wireless local network connecting point starts to send beacon frame, and Δ T=T2-T1.
