Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for deactivating a secondary cell in a cross-base-station carrier aggregation system.
Background
With the popularization of intelligent terminals, the service requirements of a mobile communication network increase in a geometric level, while spectrum resources are limited and non-renewable resources, the spectrum resources of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system are relatively discrete and lack large-bandwidth resources, continuous or discrete carriers can be aggregated together by a carrier aggregation technology, the large-bandwidth requirements of the LTE system are met, and the peak rate of a terminal (UE) can be greatly increased.
The 3GPP LTE-a defines a protocol standard related to intra-site carrier aggregation, but in an actual networking scenario, the UE may be located in an overlapping coverage range of two base stations, instead of an overlapping coverage range of multiple carriers of one base station, which makes the UE unable to utilize an intra-site carrier aggregation technology to increase the rate, but needs the UE to aggregate resources of the two base stations, and increases the rate by adopting a cross-base-station carrier aggregation method. The cross-base-station carrier aggregation technology means that a cell which performs data transmission for the same UE at the same time can belong to different base stations, so that the working bandwidth of the UE can still be increased by the carrier aggregation technology in a network environment overlapped and covered by different base stations.
There is no corresponding method in the existing LTE-Advanced protocol to describe how to interact with the deactivation indication of the secondary cell in the cross-base station carrier aggregation system.

Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for deactivating an auxiliary cell in a cross-base-station carrier aggregation system, wherein the deactivation process of the auxiliary cell can be triggered by a main cell and can also be triggered by the auxiliary cell.
In the embodiment of the present invention, cross base station (eNB) carrier aggregation configured for a terminal includes a primary cell (PCell) and one or more secondary cells (scells), where an eNB in which the PCell is located is denoted as a PCell eNB (primary serving base station) and an eNB in which the SCell is located is denoted as an SCell eNB (secondary serving base station).
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a block diagram of SCell deactivation triggered by a PCell in cross base station carrier aggregation is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The flow describes a process in which the PCell eNB indicates SCell deactivation to the SCell eNB, which may include the following steps:
step 101: the PCell determines the SCell that needs to be deactivated.
Wherein, the PCell and SCell in this step are primary cell and secondary cell in cross base station carrier aggregation.
The PCell may determine the secondary cell that needs to be deactivated according to an X2 interface delay between a PCell eNB where the PCell is located and an SCell eNB where the SCell is located or an inter-station carrier aggregation gain between the PCell and the SCell. The X2 interface refers to an interface for information interaction between two enbs.
Further, after the PCell determines the SCell that needs to be deactivated, the SCell that needs to be deactivated is set to a deactivated state.
Step 102: and the PCell eNB where the PCell is located sends a secondary cell deactivation indication to the SCell eNB where the SCell needing to be deactivated is located, wherein the secondary cell deactivation indication is used for indicating the SCell needing to be deactivated.
The secondary cell deactivation indication may be sent over an X2 interface.
The secondary cell deactivation indication sent by the PCell may include a UE identity, a cell identity of an SCell that needs to be deactivated, and further may include information such as a reason for SCell deactivation. Reasons for SCell deactivation may include, but are not limited to: the time delay of the X2 interface is larger than a set threshold, or the carrier aggregation gain between stations is lower than the set threshold.
Step 103: and after the SCell receives the deactivation indication of the secondary cell, removing relevant information of Radio Bearer (RB for short) of corresponding UE on the SCell.
The flow shown in fig. 1 is described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 and 3, respectively. Fig. 2 exemplarily shows a signaling interaction diagram of triggering an SCell deactivation process by a PCell according to an X2 interface latency, and fig. 2 exemplarily shows a signaling interaction diagram of triggering an SCell deactivation process by a PCell according to an inter-station carrier aggregation gain.
As shown in fig. 2, the process of triggering SCell deactivation by PCell according to X2 interface latency may include the following steps:
step 201: the PCell configures an SCell (i.e., inter-station SCell) in cross base station carrier aggregation for the UE and activates the SCell. The PCell and the SCell in the process are primary cells and secondary cells in cross-base-station carrier aggregation configured for the UE, and a PCell eNB where the PCell is located and an SCell eNB where the SCell is located are different base stations.
Step 202: the PCell periodically detects the X2 interface delay between PCell eNB and SCell eNB. When the X2 interface delay between the PCell eNB and the SCell eNB is larger than a set threshold, the PCell judges that the SCell needs to be deactivated.
Step 203: the PCell eNB sets the SCell in a deactivated state, and transmits a control element (MAC CE) of a medium access control layer to inform the UE to deactivate the SCell.
Step 204: the PCell eNB sends a PCell-triggered SCell deactivation indication to the SCell eNB over the X2 interface to indicate deactivation of the SCell. The UE identity, the SCell identity, and the SCell deactivation reason are carried in the indication because the X2 interface latency is large.
Step 205: and after the SCell eNB receives the SCell deactivation indication, clearing the related information of all RBs of the UE on the SCell.
As shown in fig. 3, the process of triggering SCell deactivation by PCell according to inter-station carrier aggregation gain may include the following steps:
step 301: the PCell configures an SCell in cross base station carrier aggregation for the UE and activates the SCell. The PCell and the SCell in the process are primary cells and secondary cells in cross-base-station carrier aggregation configured for the UE, and a PCell eNB where the PCell is located and an SCell eNB where the SCell is located are different base stations.
Step 302: the PCell periodically detects a carrier aggregation gain between the PCell eNB and the SCell eNB. And when the carrier aggregation gain between the PCell eNB and the SCell eNB is lower than a set threshold, the PCell judges that the SCell needs to be deactivated.
Step 303: and the PCell eNB sets the SCell to be in a deactivation state, and sends the MAC CE to inform the UE to deactivate the SCell.
Step 304: and the PCell eNB sends a PCell triggered SCell deactivation indication to the SCell eNB through an X2 interface to indicate that the SCell is deactivated, wherein the indication carries the UE identification, the SCell identification and the SCell deactivation reason because the carrier aggregation gain is low.
Step 305: and after the SCell eNB receives the SCell deactivation indication, clearing the related information of all RBs of the UE on the SCell so as to save the space of the SCell eNB.
As can be seen from the above description, the PCell eNB may determine that it is no longer suitable for the SCell to transmit data due to factors such as a large interaction delay of the X2 interface or a low carrier aggregation gain, so as to deactivate the SCell, thereby implementing a secondary cell deactivation process triggered by a primary cell in cross-base station carrier aggregation. By adopting the embodiment, when the service is not finished, the SCell deactivation information can be interacted between the PCell eNB and the SCell eNB in the cross-base station carrier aggregation system.
Referring to fig. 4, a block diagram of SCell deactivation triggered by SCell in cross base station carrier aggregation is provided for further embodiments of the present invention. The flow describes a procedure where the SCell eNB requests SCell deactivation from the PCell eNB. The PCell and SCell in this flow are primary and secondary cells in cross base station carrier aggregation. The route may include the steps of:
step 401: the SCell determines deactivation.
In this step, the SCell may determine that the SCell needs to be deactivated according to whether an implicit deactivation condition is met or according to the cell load.
Step 403: and the SCell eNB in which the SCell is located sends a secondary cell deactivation indication to the PCell eNB so as to indicate the PCell to set the carrier aggregation state of the SCell to be a deactivation state.
The secondary cell deactivation indication may be sent over an X2 interface. The X2 interface refers to an interface for information interaction between two enbs.
The secondary cell deactivation indication sent by the SCell may include a UE identity, a cell identity of the SCell that needs to be deactivated, and further, may also include information such as a reason for SCell deactivation. Reasons for SCell deactivation may include, but are not limited to: and the implicit deactivation condition is met or the cell load is greater than a set threshold.
Step 405: the SCell is deactivated.
In this step, the SCell clears the relevant information of the RB on the SCell for the corresponding UE.
Further, in step 401, when the SCell determines that its load is high (for example, higher than a set threshold), the intra-station secondary cell using the SCell as the primary cell may be activated first, so as to perform load balancing. If the Scell is still loaded with a larger load after the above processing, in step 403, the Scell eNB where the Scell is located sends a secondary cell deactivation indication to the PCell eNB.
Further, after step 403, the following steps may also be included:
step 404: and after receiving the secondary cell deactivation indication sent by the SCell eNB, the PCell eNB sends a secondary cell deactivation confirmation to the SCell eNB.
The secondary cell activation acknowledgement may include a UE identity and a cell identity of the SCell.
Accordingly, in step 404, after receiving the secondary cell deactivation acknowledgement, the SCell eNB performs deactivation processing.
Optionally, in step 403, after receiving the secondary cell deactivation indication sent by the SCell eNB, the PCell eNB sends a secondary cell deactivation acknowledgement when it is determined that the deactivation reason is not the deactivation reason that satisfies the implicit deactivation condition according to the deactivation reason carried in the secondary cell deactivation indication, otherwise the secondary cell deactivation acknowledgement may not be sent.
The flow shown in fig. 4 will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 5 and 6, respectively. Fig. 5 exemplarily shows a signaling interaction diagram of an SCell triggering an SCell deactivation process according to a deactivation implicit decision bar, and fig. 6 exemplarily shows a signaling interaction diagram of an SCell triggering an SCell deactivation process according to a cell load.
As shown in fig. 5, triggering the SCell deactivation process according to the deactivation implicit decision bar by the SCell may include the following steps:
step 501: the PCell configures an SCell in cross base station carrier aggregation for the UE and activates the SCell. The PCell and the SCell in the process are primary cells and secondary cells in cross-base-station carrier aggregation configured for the UE, and a PCell eNB where the PCell is located and an SCell eNB where the SCell is located are different base stations.
Step 502: and the SCell makes an implicit deactivation decision of the SCell.
The SCell home base station may maintain a deactivation timer (referred to as sCellDeactivationTimer) for each UE that uses the station as an SCell, start or restart the SCell corresponding SCell deactivationtimer when the SCell is activated, and restart the corresponding SCell deactivationtimer when a scheduling grant Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) on the SCell is allocated to the SCell home UE.
When the SCell de activationtimer configured for one UE times out, it is determined that the SCell deactivation needs to be performed for the UE.
Step 503: and the SCell eNB in which the SCell is located sends an SCell deactivation indication triggered by the SCell to the PCell eNB through an X2 interface so as to request to deactivate the SCell (namely, request the PCell to set the carrier aggregation state of the SCell to be in a deactivation state), wherein the indication carries the UE identification, the SCell identification and the SCell deactivation reason, and is implicitly deactivated by the SCell.
Step 504: and after receiving the SCell deactivation indication, the PCell sets the SCell to be in a deactivation state. Because the SCell deactivation reason is implicit deactivation, the PCell may not need to send a MAC CE to inform the UE to deactivate the SCell.
Step 505: and the PCell eNB sends a secondary cell deactivation confirmation through an X2 interface, wherein the message carries the UE identification, the SCell identification and the like.
Step 506: and after the SCell eNB receives the secondary cell deactivation confirmation, clearing the related information of all RBs of the UE on the SCell.
As can be seen from the above description, when the UE is not scheduled for a long time, the UE deactivates the SCell based on the SCell deactivation timer, and the UE does not monitor the SCell after the SCell is deactivated. At this time, the SCell determines whether the UE has deactivated the SCell. If the UE is judged to be deactivated, the SCell synchronously deactivates the SCell, and data of the UE cannot be continuously transmitted on the SCell. After the SCell eNB determines that the UE has deactivated the SCell, the PCell eNB needs to be notified in time, and then the PCell eNB no longer transmits data on the SCell.
As shown in fig. 6, the process of triggering SCell deactivation by SCell according to cell load may include the following steps:
step 601: the PCell configures an SCell in cross base station carrier aggregation for the UE and activates the SCell. The PCell and the SCell in the process are primary cells and secondary cells in cross-base-station carrier aggregation configured for the UE, and a PCell eNB where the PCell is located and an SCell eNB where the SCell is located are different base stations.
Step 602: the SCell makes load balancing decisions periodically. And when the load of the cell is higher than a set threshold, determining that the cell needs to trigger load balancing.
Step 603: the Scell determines load balancing target users, executes an activation process of the SCell in the station aiming at the load balancing target users, and realizes load balancing by activating the SCell in the station of the UE to share the load of the cell. Wherein, the SCell may select a load balancing target user according to the following conditions: and taking the SCell as a PCell of carrier aggregation, and configuring the UE which does not activate the SCell in the station.
For example, cell 1 is at eNB1, and cell 2 and cell 3 belong to the same base station eNB 2. The UEa in the cell 1 configures cross base station carrier aggregation, wherein the cell 1 is a PCell in the cross base station carrier aggregation, and the cell 2 is an SCell in the cross base station carrier aggregation. UEb in cell 2 configures intra-station carrier aggregation, where cell 2 is a PCell in the intra-station carrier aggregation, and cell 3 is an SCell in the intra-station carrier aggregation and has not yet been activated. The cell 2 is used as an SCell in cross-base station carrier aggregation to carry out cell load detection, and when the cell load is detected to be greater than a set load balancing threshold, the following selection process of a load balancing target user is executed:
and if so, selecting the UE as a load balancing target user. Such as UEb in this example, is selected as the load balancing target user.
Further, if the target users with balanced load are selected by adopting the above method and after the intra-station scells are activated for the users, the load of the cell is less than or equal to the set threshold, and then the load balancing process is ended; if the load of the cell is still greater than the set threshold after the target users with balanced load are selected and the intra-station SCell is activated for these users in the above manner, step 604 is executed.
Further, if the number of load balancing target users selected in the above manner is 0, step 604 is executed.
Step 604: and the SCell selects the UE with the local cell as the SCell in cross-base station carrier aggregation as a load balancing target user.
Step 605: and the SCell sends an SCell deactivation indication to the PCell home eNB of the load balancing target users through an X2 interface, and requests that the cell is not used as an inter-station SCell any more. The indication message carries the UE identity, the SCell identity, and the SCell deactivation reason for load balancing.
Step 606: and after receiving the secondary cell deactivation indication, the PCell sets the SCell in the cross-base station carrier aggregation of the corresponding UE to be in a deactivation state, and sends the MAC CE to inform the corresponding UE to deactivate the SCell.
Step 607: and the PCell eNB sends a secondary cell deactivation confirmation through an X2 interface, wherein the confirmation message carries the UE identification, the SCell identification and the like.
Step 608: and after the SCell eNB receives the secondary cell deactivation confirmation, clearing the related information of all RBs of the UE on the SCell.
As can be seen from the above description, in order to implement cross-base station carrier aggregation, an X2 interface control plane and an X2 interface user plane need to exchange much information/data, carrier aggregation across enbs needs to pay a large cost, and if the load of an SCell is already high, an SCell eNB may request deactivation of the SCell from a PCell eNB in order to reduce the load.
In the above embodiment of the present invention, after determining to deactivate the secondary cell in the cross-base-station carrier aggregation, on one hand, the secondary serving base station where the secondary cell is located sends a secondary cell deactivation instruction to the base station where the primary cell in the cross-base-station carrier aggregation is located, so as to instruct to set the secondary cell to be deactivated, and on the other hand, the secondary cell deactivates, thereby implementing a secondary cell deactivation process triggered by the secondary cell in the cross-base-station carrier aggregation.

As shown in fig. 7, the base station is applied to a cross-base-station carrier aggregation system including a primary serving base station and a secondary serving base station, and the base station as the primary serving base station may include: a determining module 701 and an indicating module 702, wherein:
