Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The terms "first" and "second," and the like, in the description and in the claims of the present invention are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, the first cell and the second cell, etc. are used to distinguish different cells, rather than to describe a particular order of cells.
The terms "comprises," "comprising," and any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.
Generally, the bandwidth of a cell is not changed, and generally, when a terminal device is in an RRC connected state, in order to meet a requirement for data transmission, the terminal device may camp in a cell with a large bandwidth, and when the terminal device is in an RRC idle state, the UE needs a large bandwidth for data transmission, and only needs to perform downlink synchronization and receive a paging message, so that the requirement for the bandwidth is low. If the terminal device does not perform cell handover when switching from the RRC connected state to the RRC idle state, the terminal device may camp in a cell with a large bandwidth when in the RRC idle state, which may result in large power consumption of the terminal device. Specifically, if the terminal device performs PDCCH scanning of the whole bandwidth within the duration (on duration) of the DRX cycle, the larger the bandwidth, the longer the PDCCH scanning time is, and the longer the scanning time is, the larger the power consumption of the terminal device is. From simulation tests, when the bandwidth is switched from 100M to 20M, the PDCCH detection time response of each subframe is reduced, the 20M bandwidth is only 40% of the power consumption of the 100M bandwidth, and the power consumption is obviously saved when the bandwidth is smaller.
The embodiment of the invention provides a cell switching method and terminal equipment, which can be used for switching from a first cell to a second cell with smaller bandwidth after the terminal equipment is switched from an RRC (radio resource control) connection state to an RRC idle state, so that the time for scanning a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) in the RRC idle state is reduced, and the power consumption of the terminal equipment can be saved.
The terminal device in the embodiment of the present invention may be referred to as a User Equipment (UE). The terminal device may be a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or the like, and may also be a mobile phone, a Mobile Station (MS), a mobile terminal (mobile terminal), a notebook computer, or the like, and may communicate with one or more core networks through a Radio Access Network (RAN). The terminal equipment may be, for example, a mobile telephone (or so-called "cellular" telephone) or a computer with a mobile terminal, etc., and may also be, for example, a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and/or data with the radio access network. The terminal device may also be a handheld device with wireless communication functionality, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a future 5G network or a terminal device in a future evolved network, etc. The above is merely an example, and the practical application is not limited thereto.
The main body of the cell selection method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be a terminal device or a functional module or a functional entity in the terminal device, and the cell selection method provided in the embodiment of the present invention will be exemplarily described below with the terminal device as the main body of the cell selection method.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cell handover method, which may include the following steps:
101. the terminal device measures a neighboring cell of the first cell while in the RRC connected state.
102. The terminal equipment acquires the bandwidth of each cell in the adjacent cells of the first cell.
Optionally, the terminal device may measure the neighboring cells of the first cell to obtain MIB information of the neighboring cells of the first cell, where the MIB information includes bandwidth information of the cell, so that bandwidth of each of the neighboring cells of the first cell may be obtained from the MIB information of each of the neighboring cells of the first cell.
103. The terminal device switches from the RRC connected state to the RRC idle state.
After the RRC connection is released, since a large bandwidth is not required in the RRC idle state, a cell with a smaller bandwidth may be selected for reselection after the terminal device switches from the RRC connected state to the RRC idle state.
104. The terminal device selects a second cell as a reselection cell from neighboring cells of the first cell.
The first cell is a cell in which the terminal device is located when the terminal device is in an RRC connected state.
The second cell may be the following:
in the first case: the second cell is any one of the target cells, and the target cell is a cell of which the bandwidth in the adjacent cell of the first cell is smaller than that of the first cell.
It should be noted that the target cell may include one or more cells, and if there is one target cell, the target cell is a second cell; if there are multiple target cells, then the second cell may be any one of the multiple cells.
In the second case: the second cell is the cell with the smallest bandwidth in the target cell.
In order to reduce the time for scanning the PDCCH to the maximum extent in the RRC connected state, a cell with the smallest bandwidth may be selected from the target cells.
There may be one or more cells with the minimum bandwidth in the target cell, and if there are multiple cells with the minimum bandwidth in the target cell, one cell may be arbitrarily selected from the multiple cells as the second cell.
In the third case: the second cell is specifically any one of the cells satisfying the cell access condition in the target cell.
In a fourth case: the second cell may be a cell in the target cell that satisfies the cell access condition and has the smallest bandwidth.
The condition of meeting the cell access condition means that the condition of the access criterion meets the access criterion of the terminal equipment, and/or the signal intensity is greater than a target intensity threshold value.
Optionally, the target intensity threshold may be preset according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
The signal strength may include: at least one of a Reference Single Received Power (RSRP) and a Reference Single Received Quality (RSRQ).
The access criterion of the terminal device may be a cell selection S criterion.
When the terminal equipment selects the cell, whether the cell meets the S criterion of cell selection needs to be judged, and the basis of the S criterion of cell selection is the RSRP of the cell reference signal.
The access criterion condition of the resident cell meets the cell selection S criterion, which is specifically as follows:
Srxlev>0;
Srxlev=Qrxlevmeas-(Qrxlevmin+Qrxlevminoffset)-Pcompensation;
Pcompensation=max(PMax-UE Maximum Outpower,0)。
the meaning of each parameter is as follows:
1. srxlev: the cell selects the S value in dB.
2. And Qrxlevmeas is the RSRP value of the measuring cell and has a unit dBm.
3. Qrxlevmin-the minimum received level of the cell, in dBm (this parameter may affect user access).
4. Qrxlevminooffset: reducing ping-pong between Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) and this parameter is only used when the terminal device is camped on a visited PLMN, periodically searching for a higher level PLMN.
5. PMax: the maximum uplink transmission power allowed by the terminal equipment in the cell.
6. UE Maximum Outpower: maximum uplink transmit power determined by the terminal device capabilities.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, before switching from the first cell to the second cell, the method further includes:
the access criterion conditions, and/or the signal strength, of individual ones of the neighbouring cells of the first cell are recorded.
Optionally, the second cell may be selected by the terminal device itself, or may be indicated to the terminal device after being selected by the network device.
Optionally, the terminal device may receive a first identifier sent by the network device and used for indicating the second cell, and then select the second cell from neighboring cells of the first cell as the reselected cell according to the first identifier.
105. Information of the first cell is recorded.
The recording of the information of the first cell may be recording of frequency point information of the first cell.
106. The terminal device is handed over from the first cell to the second cell.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may switch from the first cell to the second cell with smaller bandwidth after switching from the RRC connected state to the RRC idle state, so that the time for scanning the PDCCH in the RRC idle state may be reduced, and power consumption of the terminal device may be saved.
107. The terminal device switches from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state.
108. And the terminal equipment is switched from the second cell to the first cell according to the recorded information of the first cell.
Since the RRC connected state requires data to be transmitted and thus requires a larger bandwidth, the terminal device switches from the second cell back to the first cell after switching from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state.
Optionally, after the terminal device switches from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state, the terminal device may also switch to a cell with a larger bandwidth.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may further switch back to the second cell with a larger bandwidth from the second cell after switching from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state, so as to ensure the transmission rate of data in the RRC connected state, and ensure the data transmission.
Furthermore, the terminal device can record the information of the first cell in advance, so that the terminal device can be directly switched to the first cell without cell measurement after being switched from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state, and the power consumption of the terminal device is saved.
As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal device, including:
the handover module 201 is configured to handover from a first cell to a second cell after switching from an RRC connected state to an RRC idle state, where the second cell is any one of target cells, and the target cell is a cell with bandwidth smaller than that of the first cell in an adjacent cell of the first cell.

Optionally, before switching from the first cell to the second cell, the method further includes:

Optionally, the second cell is specifically any cell that satisfies the cell access condition in the target cell;
the condition of meeting the cell access condition means that the access criterion condition meets the access criterion of the terminal equipment, and/or the signal intensity is greater than a target intensity threshold value.
Optionally, the second cell is specifically a cell with the smallest bandwidth in the target cell.
Optionally, the second cell is specifically a cell that satisfies the cell access condition and has the smallest bandwidth in the target cell.

the switching module 201 is further configured to switch from the second cell to the first cell according to the recorded information of the first cell after switching from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state after switching from the first cell to the second cell.

Optionally, the functional modules may also be integrated into one processing module.
As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a terminal device, which may include:
a memory 301 storing executable program code;
a processor 302 coupled to the memory 301;
the processor 302 calls the executable program code stored in the memory 301 to execute the cell handover method executed by the terminal device in each of the above-mentioned method embodiments.
The terminal equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile phone.
As shown in fig. 4, the mobile phone may include: radio Frequency (RF) circuitry 1110, memory 1120, input unit 1130, display unit 1140, sensors 1150, audio circuitry 1160, wireless fidelity (WiFi) module 1170, processor 1180, and power supply 1190. The rf circuit 1110 includes a receiver 1111 and a transmitter 1112. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the handset configuration shown in fig. 4 is not intended to be limiting and may include more or fewer components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.
RF circuit 1110 may be used for receiving and transmitting signals during a message transmission or call, and in particular, for receiving downlink messages from a base station and then processing the received downlink messages to processor 1180; in addition, the data for designing uplink is transmitted to the base station. In general, RF circuit 1110 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), a duplexer, and the like. In addition, RF circuit 1110 may also communicate with networks and other devices via wireless communications. The wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to global system for mobile communication (GSM), general Packet Radio Service (GPRS), code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), long Term Evolution (LTE), email, short Message Service (SMS), etc.
The memory 1120 may be used to store software programs and modules, and the processor 1180 may execute various functional applications and data processing of the mobile phone by operating the software programs and modules stored in the memory 1120. The memory 1120 may mainly include a storage program area and a storage data area, wherein the storage program area may store an operating system, an application program required by at least one function (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.), and the like; the storage data area may store data (such as audio data, a phonebook, etc.) created according to the use of the cellular phone, and the like. Further, the memory 1120 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid state storage device.
The input unit 1130 may be used to receive input numeric or character information and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the cellular phone. Specifically, the input unit 1130 may include a touch panel 1131 and other input devices 1132. Touch panel 1131, also referred to as a touch screen, can collect touch operations of a user on or near the touch panel 1131 (for example, operations of the user on or near touch panel 1131 by using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger or a stylus pen), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a preset program. Alternatively, the touch panel 1131 may include two parts, namely, a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the touch direction of a user, detects a signal brought by touch operation and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch sensing device, converts the touch information into touch point coordinates, sends the touch point coordinates to the processor 1180, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 1180. In addition, the touch panel 1131 can be implemented by using various types, such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. The input unit 1130 may include other input devices 1132 in addition to the touch panel 1131. In particular, other input devices 1132 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (e.g., volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, and the like.
The display unit 1140 may be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user and various menus of the cellular phone. The display unit 1140 may include a display panel 1141, and optionally, the display panel 1141 may be configured in the form of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an organic light-Emitting diode (OLED), or the like. Further, the touch panel 1131 can cover the display panel 1141, and when the touch panel 1131 detects a touch operation on or near the touch panel, the touch panel is transmitted to the processor 1180 to determine the type of the touch event, and then the processor 1180 provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1141 according to the type of the touch event. Although in fig. 4, the touch panel 1131 and the display panel 1141 are two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile phone, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1131 and the display panel 1141 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile phone.
The handset may also include at least one sensor 1150, such as a light sensor, motion sensor, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor may include an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor, wherein the ambient light sensor may adjust the brightness of the display panel 1141 according to the brightness of ambient light, and the proximity sensor may turn off the display panel 1141 and/or the backlight when the mobile phone moves to the ear. As one of the motion sensors, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in each direction (generally, three axes), can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary, and can be used for applications of recognizing the gesture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer gesture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer and tapping), and the like; as for other sensors such as a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, and an infrared sensor, which can be configured on the mobile phone, the description is omitted here.
Audio circuitry 1160, speakers 1161, and microphone 1162 may provide an audio interface between a user and a cell phone. The audio circuit 1160 may transmit the electrical signal converted from the received audio data to the speaker 1161, and convert the electrical signal into a sound signal for output by the speaker 1161; on the other hand, the microphone 1162 converts the collected sound signals into electrical signals, which are received by the audio circuit 1160 and converted into audio data, which are then processed by the audio data output processor 1180, and then transmitted to, for example, another cellular phone via the RF circuit 1110, or output to the memory 1120 for further processing.
