Description

Method and device for reporting measurement report

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for reporting a measurement report.

Background

A Home base station (Home eNB, HeNB for short) is a small and low power base station, and is deployed in indoor places such as homes and offices. The main purpose of the home base station is to provide higher service rate to the user and reduce the cost required for using high-rate service, and at the same time, make up the insufficient coverage of the existing distributed cellular wireless communication system.

Fig. 1 shows a network architecture of a home base station in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) advanced system proposed by the Third Generation Partnership project (3 GPP). The core network element includes a Mobile Management Entity (MME) and a Serving Gateway (S-GW). The MME assumes mobility management related functions of a User Equipment (UE). The S-GW performs data routing processing on the user plane, terminates downlink data of the UE in an idle state, and manages and stores a Bearer (E-UTRAN Radio Access Bearer, abbreviated as ERAB) context of the UE. An Evolved Universal Radio Access Network (Evolved Universal Radio Access Network) is composed of a HeNB and a home base station Gateway (HeNB Gateway, abbreviated as HeNB GW). The HeNB completes connection with a core network element based on a core network interface protocol defined in the standard, and accesses the UE based on an air interface protocol defined in the standard. To a large extent, the HeNB bears no difference in functionality from a common Macro base station (Macro eNB). Based on the requirement of network planning, in some deployment scenarios, a new network element may be introduced between the HeNB and the network element of the core network: the HeNB GW can bear part of the management function of the home base station.

In the existing LTE system, various operation flows for reporting a measurement report by the UE and contents of the measurement report are defined, which includes a scenario in which a neighboring cell is a home base station. When the system configures the UE to acquire and report the system information of the neighboring cell, the UE receives the system information of the neighboring cell and may perform the following measurement report operations according to the configuration of the base station: 1) the UE may obtain cell identification information of the neighboring cell according to the configuration of the base station, where the cell identification information may include a cell physical identifier, a cell global identifier, a cell tracking area identifier, and a list of all operator identifiers supported by the cell, and when the neighboring cell supports a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) and a hybrid operating mode, the UE may further include CSG identification information of the neighboring cell and access identity information of the UE to the neighboring cell; 2) the UE may further not obtain and correspondingly not report the operator list information supported by the neighboring cell based on 1) according to the configuration of the base station, thereby accelerating the reporting of the system information of the neighboring cell and further accelerating the operation of the base station. In an existing system architecture, when a cell supports a closed subscriber group and a hybrid working mode, and when a UE verifies an access capability of the UE to the cell, only a CSG ID broadcasted by the cell and a unique identifier configured by the cell are used, and the CSG access verification is performed on a combined identifier of a Primary Public Land Mobile Network (PPLMN) or one PLMN of multiple PLMNs configured by the cell to obtain the access capability of the UE and perform a reporting operation. The PPLMN here is generally an operator identity (PLMN ID) to which the cell belongs, and is a component of a globally unique identity of the cell. Based on the existing system architecture, the above-mentioned UE reporting operation flow and content are both a scenario in which the CSG ID broadcasted by the neighboring cell is combined with only the unique PLMN broadcasted by the neighboring cell or one PLMN of multiple PLMNs configured by the neighboring cell to form a CSG access verification identifier, and the UE also reports only one kind of identity information.

As wireless systems further develop, a network configuration requirement that a CSG ID broadcasted by a cell is combined with a plurality of PLMN IDs broadcasted by the cell to form a combined identifier for verifying the UE access capability is further proposed, and a measurement reporting method of a UE for a neighboring cell broadcast CSG ID scenario in the related art is not sufficient to support the new requirement.

In the schematic diagram, the UE acquires system information of the neighboring cell based on the configuration of the serving base station and reports the system information to the serving base station, and the serving base station may complete subsequent network mechanism operations based on the reporting of the UE, for example, establishing an information storage list of the neighboring base station, establishing an X2 connection with the neighboring base station, and the like.

The present preferred embodiment describes a handover operation procedure performed by a UE to an HeNB based on the configuration of an eNB, and this embodiment describes a scenario in which a target HeNB to be handed over operates in a closed operating mode, and a specific operation flowchart is shown in fig. 7 and includes the following steps S701 to S707.

Step S701, the configuration information of the opposite terminal is obtained between the base stations.

In this step, some mechanisms based on the network between the base stations may obtain some configuration information of the opposite end, where the network mechanism includes measurement reporting based on the UE in the foregoing embodiment, and interaction obtaining between the base stations based on network management system configuration and after being established based on the X2 interface;

Step S702, the base station sends measurement configuration information to the UE.

The configuration information sent by the base station includes a purpose that the base station configures the UE to perform a measurement operation, including various measurement report purposes configured in a measurement report configuration (ReportConfigEUTRA) supported by the existing system, and this embodiment describes, by taking as an example, a purpose that the serving base station configures a UE measurement report neighboring cell CGI and further completes a handover operation, so that the serving base station adds a report CGI and identification information of si-RequestForHO in the measurement report configuration (ReportConfigEUTRA) or may introduce new identification information to configure the UE to perform a subsequent measurement configuration report operation.

In step S703, the UE determines a measurement operation that needs to be performed.

The UE determines the type of the measurement report that needs to be executed based on the measurement configuration information sent by the base station in S702, and aims to measure and report the cell CGI of the neighboring cell and further provide information for the handover operation in this embodiment. The UE may perform the following operations: the UE needs to monitor and receive system information of the neighboring cell, and needs to obtain a cell physical identifier (cell physical identifier), a cell global identifier (ECGI), and all operator identifiers (PLMN List) supported by the cell broadcasted by the neighboring cell. How the UE monitors and receives the system information of the adjacent cell can be completed according to the existing supporting mechanism of the system, when the adjacent cell contains CSG ID and/or Access Mode cells in the broadcast information, the UE also needs to further monitor and receive the CSG ID and/or Access Mode information of the adjacent cell to complete the subsequent operation;

s704, the UE receives system information of the neighboring cell.

In this step, the UE performs a corresponding measurement operation on the neighboring cell according to the type of measurement operation that needs to be performed as described in S703.

Step S705, the UE determines which reporting mode is used.

Based on the measurement operation type in S703 and the system information of the neighboring cell received in S704, the UE may perform a determination operation according to the operation method performed in the first embodiment in this step, and in addition, the UE may also perform the following operations:

operation one: if the neighboring cell broadcasts multiple PLMNs, the UE may perform one of the following:

1) the UE only includes the PPLMN in the ECGI and needs to report the access capability information relative to the PPLMN identification + CSG ID combined identification in the ECGI;

2) the base station carries the PPLMN ID in other cells besides the ECGI message reported by the UE, for example, reports a PLMN list including the PPLMN, and the UE reports the access capability information of the UE to the combined identifier formed by the PPLMN identifier and the CSG ID carried in other cells;

the access capability information can be marked by adding a clear cell in the measurement report information of the UE or indirectly indicated; the indirect indication comprises a mode that the system configures and presets access capability corresponding to a certain cell;

2, when the UE determines that the remaining PPLMNs other than the PPLMN satisfy the access condition in 1, where the PPLMN is also satisfied or the PPLMN is not satisfied with the access condition in 1, the UE performs one of the following operations:

step S706, the UE reports the measurement report information to the service base station.

Based on the foregoing operation steps, if the UE needs to report PLMN IDs with different attributes, for example, PLMN IDs in PLMN ID + CSG ID combined identifiers for different access capability information, the UE may also report measurement reports separately, and the different measurement reports include PLMN IDs with different attributes to indicate;

and step S707, each network element in the network completes the rest network operations based on the measurement report.

Preferably, the remaining network operations include: the serving base station determines whether the UE can be handed over to the target base station, and further determines a serving PLMN after the UE is handed over to the target base station, and in addition to a principle that the source base station selects the serving PLMN of the UE at the target base station in the existing handover operation process, the serving base station needs to use the following method for a scenario that the target base station is an HeNB configured with multiple PLMNs:

and when the combined identification of the PPLMN ID and the CSG ID of the adjacent cell is indicated to be inaccessible relative to the UE in the measurement report reported by the UE, not selecting the PPLMN as the service PLMN from the UE to the target cell.

Preferred embodiment five

In the foregoing embodiments, the measurement operations for the purpose of acquiring the neighboring cell information and further completing the handover operation are respectively described for a scenario where the neighboring cell broadcasts one CSG ID, and when the neighboring cell broadcasts multiple CSG IDs, the method is as follows:

for different CSG IDs broadcasted by the neighboring cell, the PLMN IDs broadcasted by the neighboring cell or each PLMN ID broadcasted by the neighboring cell and having a home relationship with the different CSG IDs are respectively combined, and further the operation step of broadcasting only one CSG ID for the neighboring cell in the above embodiment is performed.
