Description

Communication method, communication device and communication device

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to communication methods, communication devices, and communication devices. Background technique

The Internet of Things, also known as Machine Type Communication (MTC) or Machine-To-Machine (M2M), refers to the connection of items to the Internet through information sensing devices for intelligent identification and management. This means that a large number of small devices can wirelessly access, for example, cellular networks for machine type communication.

With the development of IoT technology, the number of IoT devices will become enormous. These devices will be closely integrated with wireless communication technologies and obtain data through wireless connections or report data to the control center. Thus, a large amount of random or periodic reported data may be generated, which may come from various specific applications, such as wireless water meters, vending machines, pos machines, and the like. The number of users of these applications is large, but the amount of data transmitted in a single transaction is relatively small (usually application layer data is in the range of tens of bytes to hundreds of bytes), and even less than the IP header overhead.

In the prior art, the data transmission of the UE may be implemented based on, for example, an Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer, where the EPS bearer includes an air interface data radio bearer (DRB) and a general packet radio of the core network. GTP, General packet radio service Tunnelling Protocol (GTP). Since the number of M2M devices may be very large, these large numbers of bearers may have a considerable impact on the Radio Access Network (RAN) and core network entities.

Aiming at this problem, the concept of public bearer is proposed. The common bearer can be set between the base station and the gateway device, or can be set between the relay node and the base station, by means of multiple devices for machine type communication (below, The traffic of other dedicated bearers other than the air interface of the MTC device is mapped to the public bearer to reduce the impact on the core network.

However, when the MTC device needs to be handed over from the source base station to the destination base station, the service flow of the MTC device also needs to be switched (or remapped) from the common bearer of the source base station to the common bearer of the destination base station, that is, it needs to be heavy. Configure the common bearer of the MTC device, because the reconfiguration of the common bearer requires the base station and the core network entity (MME, Mobility Management) Entity), the service gateway (S-GW, Serving Gateway), and the packet data gateway (P-GW, Packet Data Network Gateway) perform signaling interaction. Due to the large number of MTC devices, the signaling overhead of this process may be very large. .

For example, the bandwidth of the traditional cell is 20 MHz. The bandwidth of the MTC cell is usually 1.4 MHz. Currently, on the system Cell measurement, for example, RRM measurement is implemented by the base station configuring the parameters used by the user equipment for measurement, ie, "Measurement Object", so that the user equipment measures the system cell according to the measurement object. A carrier frequency is only configured with a unique "measurement object", and the "measurement object" contains a parameter for indicating the bandwidth used for measurement, that is, "measurement bandwidth". The user equipment measures each cell on the carrier frequency according to the measurement bandwidth. However, since the MTC cell is narrowband, if the measurement of the MTC cell is to be ensured, the measurement bandwidth can only be set to a narrow bandwidth, but if the user equipment also needs to measure other cells (traditional cells) on the carrier frequency, The measurement bandwidth of the narrow bandwidth affects the measurement effect of the conventional cell. Also, if a measurement bandwidth of a wide bandwidth is used in order to ensure a measurement effect on a legacy cell, the measurement effect of the MTC cell is affected.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a carrier frequency is configured with an MTC cell and a non-MTC cell, the access station A may configure different measurement objects for the MTC cell and the non-MTC cell, specifically, It is a measurement bandwidth, and the configuration method and value for measuring the measurement bandwidth (second measurement bandwidth) of the non-MTC cell may be similar to the prior art, and the description thereof is omitted here to avoid redundancy. In addition, the access station A may set a measurement bandwidth (first measurement bandwidth) for measuring the MTC cell according to the bandwidth of the MTC cell. For example, since the bandwidth of the MTC cell is usually 1.4 MHz, the access site A may The first measurement bandwidth is set to be 1.4 MHz, that is, the bandwidth of the MTC cell is the same, or the access station A may set the value of the first measurement bandwidth to be smaller than the bandwidth of the MTC cell, which is not limited in the present invention. . After acquiring the measurement bandwidth (the first measurement bandwidth) of each MTC cell, the UE may perform measurement on each MTC cell according to the measurement bandwidth, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the method for the UE to measure the MTC cell according to the measurement bandwidth The process is similar to the prior art, and the description thereof is omitted here to avoid redundancy.

According to the communication method of the embodiment of the present invention, by configuring different measurement bandwidths for the MTC cell and the non-MTC cell on the same carrier frequency, the measurement effect on both sides can be improved.

In addition, in the prior art, the MTC cell may be configured according to part of resources (specifically, time-frequency resources) of the traditional cell, that is, the MTC cell is narrow bandwidth, but is used for measurement of the MTC cell. The symbols still use the reference symbols of the traditional cell (wide bandwidth cell) (wide bandwidth reference symbols), and therefore may affect the measurement effect.

In contrast, in the embodiment of the present invention, the access station A may notify the UE that the reference symbol is dedicated to measuring the MTC cell. Here, "dedicated to measure the MTC cell" refers to a reference symbol used for measuring the MTC cell. The reference symbols of the traditional cell are not still used, but are small with the MTC. The area corresponds, specifically, to the bandwidth of the MTC cell. After acquiring the reference symbols of the MTC cells, the UE may perform measurement on each of the MTC cells according to the reference symbols, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the method and process for the UE to measure the MTC cells according to the reference symbols are similar to the prior art. Here, in order to avoid redundancy, the description thereof is omitted.

According to the communication method of the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement of the MTC cell can be improved by the access station A instructing the user equipment to measure the MTC cell according to the reference symbol corresponding to the MTC cell according to the MTC cell.

In addition, in the prior art, in the same manner as the measurement of the non-MTC cell, in order to measure the MTC cell, the user equipment needs to continuously monitor and measure each subframe, but the MTC cell may exist only in a part of the subframe, thereby causing the measurement result not to be accurate.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, the access station A can determine the subframe to which the MTC cell belongs, and notify the UE, so that the UE can only monitor and measure the subframe including the MTC cell, thereby improving the measurement. accuracy.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the handover procedure is similar to the prior art in the embodiment of the present invention. Herein, in order to avoid redundancy, the description thereof is omitted.

Similarly, the access station B can also confirm whether the UE can perform machine type communication, and when determining that the UE can perform machine type communication, transmit data of the UE (specifically, uplink data) through a common bearer, The method of communication can be exemplified by the following methods:

a. The UE may inform the access point (access station A and access station B) whether the UE can perform machine type communication when entering the network or switching.

b. The upper-layer network side device of the access point (access site A and the access site B), for example, the Mobility Management Entity (MME), for example, the subscription carrier of the UE, whether the UE is known Machine type communication is enabled so that the access point can learn from the MME whether the UE is capable of machine type communication.

c. When the UE is handed over from the access site A to the access site B, and the UE has informed the access site A whether the UE is capable of machine type communication, the access site B can learn from the access site A. Whether the UE is capable of machine type communication.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-described processes and methods may be the same as those in the prior art, and the description thereof will be omitted in order to avoid redundancy.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first access station acquires the second measurement information sent by the target mobile device, including:

The first access station sends at least one second measurement indication information to the target mobile device, where the second measurement indication information includes carrier frequency information of the second target carrier frequency, and the second target carrier frequency is configured with at least one machine type communication The MTC cell, the second measurement indication information further includes at least one of the following information: a third measurement bandwidth indication information, at least one reference symbol indication information, and at least one subframe indication information;

Specifically, in the prior art, an MTC cell and a legacy cell (non-MTC cell) may have the same carrier frequency (which may also be referred to as a center frequency point), but there is a big difference in bandwidth, for example, the bandwidth of a traditional cell. It is 20 MHz, and the bandwidth of the MTC cell is usually 1.4 MHz. Currently, for system cell measurement, for example, RRM measurement is implemented by the base station configuring a parameter used for measurement by the user equipment, that is, a "Measurement Object", so that the user equipment is based on the measurement object to the system. Measurement of the cell. A carrier frequency is only configured with a unique "measurement object", and the "measurement object" contains a parameter for indicating the bandwidth used by the measurement, that is, "measurement bandwidth". The user equipment measures each cell on the carrier frequency according to the measurement bandwidth. However, since the MTC cell is narrowband, if the measurement of the MTC cell is to be ensured, the measurement bandwidth can only be set to a narrow bandwidth, but if the user equipment also needs to measure other cells (traditional cells) on the carrier frequency, The measurement bandwidth of the narrow bandwidth affects the measurement effect of the conventional cell. Similarly, if a measurement bandwidth of a wide bandwidth is used in order to ensure the measurement effect on a conventional cell, the measurement effect of the MTC cell is affected.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a carrier frequency is configured with an MTC cell and a non-MTC cell, the access station B may configure different measurement objects for the MTC cell and the non-MTC cell, specifically, It is a measurement bandwidth, and the configuration method and value for measuring the measurement bandwidth (second measurement bandwidth) of the non-MTC cell may be similar to the prior art, and the description thereof is omitted here to avoid redundancy. In addition, the access station B can set the measurement bandwidth (the first measurement bandwidth) for measuring the MTC cell according to the bandwidth of the MTC cell. For example, since the bandwidth of the MTC cell is usually 1.4 MHz, the access station B can The first measurement bandwidth is set to be 1.4 MHz, that is, the bandwidth of the MTC cell is the same, or the access station B may set the value of the first measurement bandwidth to be smaller than the bandwidth of the MTC cell, which is not specifically limited in the present invention. . After acquiring the measurement bandwidth (the first measurement bandwidth) of each MTC cell, the UE may perform measurement on each MTC cell according to the measurement bandwidth, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the method for the UE to measure the MTC cell according to the measurement bandwidth The process is similar to the prior art, and the description thereof is omitted here to avoid redundancy.

In addition, in the prior art, the MTC cell may be configured according to part of resources (specifically, time-frequency resources) of the traditional cell, that is, the MTC cell is narrow bandwidth, but is used for measurement of the MTC cell. The symbol still uses the reference character of the traditional cell (wide bandwidth cell) The number (wide bandwidth reference symbol), therefore, may affect the measurement.

In contrast, in the embodiment of the present invention, the access station B may notify the UE to use the reference symbol for measuring the MTC cell. Here, "dedicated to measure the MTC cell" refers to a reference symbol used for measuring the MTC cell. The reference symbols of the legacy cell are not still used, but correspond to the MTC cell, specifically, the bandwidth of the MTC cell. After acquiring the reference symbols of the MTC cells, the UE may perform measurement on each of the MTC cells according to the reference symbols, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the method and process for the UE to measure the MTC cells according to the reference symbols are similar to the prior art. Here, in order to avoid redundancy, the description thereof is omitted.

According to the communication method of the embodiment of the present invention, the access station B instructs the user equipment to measure the MTC cell according to the reference symbol corresponding to the MTC cell according to the MTC cell, so that the measurement effect on the MTC cell can be improved.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, the access station B can determine the subframe to which the MTC cell belongs, and notify the UE, so that the UE can only monitor and measure the subframe including the MTC cell, thereby improving the measurement. accuracy.

The access station B may initiate a handover procedure after the UE needs to switch to the access site C (the third access point) according to the measurement report information of the UE, so that the UE switches from the access site B to the access site. C. In the embodiment of the present invention, the handover procedure is similar to the prior art, and the description thereof is omitted here to avoid redundancy.

In the prior art, when the UE switches to the access site C, the access site C needs to map the service flow of the UE to the public bearer of the access site C, in particular, when the access site C does not In the case of a public bearer, the UE's service requires a separate EPS bearer. As a result, system resources are wasted and signaling overhead is also large.

In contrast, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the access site A and the access site C can communicate, specifically, data communication is possible, the access site C can obtain the indication that the access site A is provided. The information about the common bearer of the data of the UE (the second handover indication information) is transmitted, so that the access site C can determine, according to the second handover indication information, that the access site A is provided with a common bearer capable of transmitting data of the UE. . In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the access station B can learn that the access node A is provided with a common bearer capable of transmitting data of the UE, and therefore, access The station B may provide information (second handover indication information) indicating that the access station A is provided with a common bearer capable of transmitting data of the UE.

And the access station A obtains information indicating that the UE is handed over to the access site C (the third handover indication information), so that the access site A can determine, according to the third handover indication information, that the UE needs to receive the public bearer. The data of the UE, specifically the downlink data, is sent to the access station C for transmission to the UE through the access station C. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the access station B can learn that the UE switches to the access site C, the access station B can send information indicating that the UE switches to the access site C to the access station A. (third switching indication information).

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first access station sends the second handover indication information to the third access site, including:

a second handover request message sent by the first access station to the second access station, where the second handover request message includes the second handover indication information, so that the third access station switches from the second In the request message, the second handover indication information is obtained.

The second handover indication information may be obtained from the handover request message.

Therefore, when uplinking (the UE sends data to the server), the access station C can receive the data (uplink data) sent by the UE, and forward the uplink data to the access station A, so that the access station A can pass the The public bearer sends the uplink data to the gateway device (the first gateway device), and then transmits the data to the server.

Moreover, in the downlink (the server sends data to the UE), the access station A can send the downlink data to the access station C, and the access station C can send the downlink data to the UE.

Optionally, the method further includes:

Sending, by the first access station, the cell identifier or the tracking area identifier of the second access station to the third access station, so that the third access station is in the cell identifier or the tracking area according to the second access station. After the identifier determines that the third access site and the second access site are in the same preset area, the third access station sends third data from the mobile device, where each access in the preset area is Sites are able to communicate with each other.

Specifically, since the public bearer transmission through access site A has been switched to access site C The data of the UE needs to be established on the premise that the access site A and the access site C can communicate. Therefore, for example, when the communication method 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the LTE system, specifically, the LTE When some or all of the access points in the system are capable of transmitting data over, for example, fiber optic or wireless communication resources, the access site C can also confirm whether it is possible to communicate with the access site A, specifically, at the data level. Further, as a method of determining whether or not data communication is possible, the following methods can be cited:

In the embodiment of the present invention, when a part of the access stations in the communication system can transmit data through, for example, an optical fiber or a wireless communication resource (for example, in a specific geographical area (an example of a preset area), Each access point in the area allocates communication resources for transmitting data between each other. For example, a device capable of managing an access site, such as an MME or an OAM, may acquire information of an access station capable of communication, for example, from a telecommunication carrier. And transmitting, to each access station, information indicating an access station capable of data communication, so that each access point can learn the peer access station capable of data communication.

For example, the MME or the OAM can map the access sites located in the same preset area to the cell identifier list or the tracking area list, and notify the eNB or the OAM. Each access point, for example, may notify a location of all access points of the access point that are located in a certain preset area in the cell identifier list or the tracking area list, thereby including the access station A and the access station C. The access point controlled by the MME or the OAM may determine, from the cell identifier list or the tracking area list, the peer access station capable of data communication according to the indication of the MME or the OAM.

A carrier frequency is only configured with a unique "measurement object", and the "measurement object" contains a parameter for indicating the bandwidth used for measurement, that is, "measurement bandwidth". The user equipment measures each cell on the carrier frequency according to the measurement bandwidth. However, since the MTC cell is narrowband, if the measurement of the MTC cell is to be guaranteed, the measurement bandwidth can only be set to a narrow bandwidth, but if the user equipment also needs to measure other cells (traditional cells) on the carrier frequency, The measurement bandwidth of the narrow bandwidth affects the measurement effect of the conventional cell. Similarly, if a wide bandwidth measurement bandwidth is used to ensure measurement of a conventional cell, the measurement effect of the MTC cell is affected.

The common bearing of data. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the access station B can learn that the access A is provided with a common bearer capable of transmitting data of the UE, the access station B can provide the access station A with the ability to transmit the Commonly carried information of the data of the UE (second handover indication information).

Therefore, when uplink (the UE sends data to the server), the access station C can receive the data (uplink data) sent by the UE, and forward the uplink data to the access site A, so that the access site A can pass the The public bearer sends the uplink data to the gateway device (the first gateway device), and then transmits the data to the server. And, in the downlink (the server sends data to the UE), the access station A can send the downlink data to the access site C, and the access site C can send the downlink data to the UE.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the data of the UE that has switched to the access station C is transmitted through the public bearer of the access station A, it is required to establish that the access site A and the access site C can communicate, and thus, for example, When the communication method 200 of the embodiment of the present invention is applied to an LTE system, specifically, some or all of the access points in the LTE system can access the site C when transmitting data through, for example, an optical fiber or a wireless communication resource. It is also possible to confirm whether communication with the access site A can be made, specifically, at the data level. Further, as a method of determining whether or not data communication is possible, the following methods can be cited:

Specifically, the access station C may carry its routing information in the path switching request message, and send it to the MME of the access station C, so that the access station C can be routed through the MME of the access station A. The information is sent to access site A. It should be understood that the MME of the access site C may be the same as the MME of the access site A, or may be different, and in the case that the MME of the access site C and the MME of the access site A may be different, the MMEs are mutually different.

According to (for example, the transport network layer address and/or the tunnel terminal number), therefore, the access site C needs to obtain the routing information of the access site A.

For example, after determining that the UE has switched to the access node C, the access station A may send the routing information of the access station A to the access station C by using signaling or the like.

The MME may send indication information indicating that the UE switches from the access station B to the access station C to the access station A, so that the access station A can learn that the UE has switched to the access station C, and at this time, the access station A For example, an end marker message may be sent to the access station B to indicate that the access station A no longer sends the downlink data of the UE to the access station B, so that the access station B can access the access station.

The C sends, for example, an end marker message or a handover complete message, so that the access station C can determine according to the handover complete message sent by the access station B, the path conversion request response message sent by the MME, or the end marker message sent by the access station B.
