Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, relate to or rather in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA), Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) mobile communication system, absolute time (refers to: the method for synchronous date Hour Minute Second) between the network element in these mobile communication system of base station (NodeB) that the operation maintenance center of radio network controller (OMC-R, below summary is the OMC of operation maintenance center), radio network controller (RNC) and radio network controller (RNC) are managed.
Background technology
In the mobile communication system network element time synchronously for whole communication network, comprise OMC, RNC, the management of NodeB all has very important meaning, when particularly in application, needing to use absolute time,, prior meaning is arranged then such as performance estimation, alarm etc. for system.If the time of network element does not reach synchronously in the communication system, will cause the alarm data between the network element, performance data disorder etc.
" mode of time synchronized in the WCDMA system " (CWTS TSG-RAN WG2meeting # 2002 year) that China wireless technology association (CWTS) passes through, on Iub interface, adopt the SNTP agreement, need realize the server end of SNTP and realize the client of SNTP in the NodeB side in the RNC side, its mode is: RNC is as the higher level time management person of NodeB, all NodeB broadcasting time delays that need to manage to it are termly estimated message, for NodeB estimation time delay.
Time synchronization process is by request and respond two message and finish: NodeB is to RNC transmission delay estimation request message, RNC sends the response response message to NodeB, timestamp information (providing by the SNTP agreement) is provided in this response response message, utilizes timestamp information estimation propagation delay time for NodeB.This timestamp information comprises: original time stabs T1 (Originate Timestamp T1), time of reception stabs T2 (Receive Timestamp T2), transmitting time stamp T3 (Transmit Timestamp T3) and the object time is stabbed T4 (Destination Timestamp T4), NodeB estimates the transmission delay value with these four timestamp informations, is kept at NodeB this locality.Propagation delay time value T Dealy estimation mode is as follows:
T?Dealy＝((T4-T1)-(T3-T2))/2。
RNC is airtime message periodically, comprises T_Rnc fiducial time of RNC side in the message;
NodeB adjusts local zone time T_NodeB according to T_Rnc fiducial time of this RNC broadcasting of receiving by following formula:
T_NodeB＝T_Rnc+T?Dealy。
Yet in the network configuration of reality, the NodeB number that RNC hangs down can be many, and RNC can increase the system resource spending of RNC to numerous NodeB broadcasting time delay estimation message; Be subjected to the influence of factors such as link reliability and delay variation are big in addition, also may cause the lower timing tracking accuracy of RNC and NodeB between the two.
And, up to now, also there is not in a kind of resolution system the scheme of time synchronized between network elements such as OMC, RNC, NodeB for the TD-SCDMA mobile communication system.
In addition, sub-district in WCDMA and TD-SCDMA system is set up in the process, in order to obtain the timing offset between RNC and NodeB, must be between RNC and NodeB carry out node (in the 3GPP standard specific definition carry out the synchronous content of node between RNC and the NodeB) synchronously in the carrying of high priority.This node synchronizing process can be referring to shown in Figure 1.Estimate request message by Serving RNC (SRNC) to NodeB broadcasting time delay, comprise the moment t1 that sends a request message in the message, the NodeB that receives this time delay estimation request message sends the response response message to Serving RNC, comprise in the response response message that moment t1, moment t2 and the NodeB that NodeB receives this request message that SRNC sends a request message send the moment t3 that responds response message, calculate timing offset for SRNC.
Among Fig. 1, the public frame number counter RFN of SRNS side and the every M microsecond of the public frame number counter BFN of NodeB side (as the M=125 microsecond) add 1, and count range is the 0-327679 microsecond, then circulation.Being produced among Fig. 1 with 10 microseconds is a scale, and its meter full scale is 0-40950 (327680 * 125=40960000 microsecond, 40960 milliseconds).It is synchronous to carry out node by the process that defines in the 3GPP standard between SRNC and the NodeB, obtains the difference DELTA T between node synchronized result: RFN and the BFN.
SRNC is carrying out node when synchronous, obtains the public frame number counter RFN value t1 of SRNC, sends downlink node synchronization frame (DL Node Synchronization), comprises t1=40941.250 in this frame; NodeB writes down the public frame number counter BFN value t2=1492.500 of current NodeB when receiving this frame, the up link node synchronization frame (ULNode Synchrozation) that NodeB replys to the SRNC back response, except comprising t1=40941.250, also comprise t2=1492.500 and the public frame number counter BFN value t3=1505.000 when sending in this frame; SRNC writes down current RFN value t4 when receiving this frame.Thereby draw the difference between RFN and the BFN: Δ T=RFN-BFN=((t4-t3)-(t2-t1))/2 is stored in this value among the RNC.(t2-t1)+(t4-t3) provided round-trip delay shown in the figure.

T_Rnc＝T_Omc+T?Dealy。
Above-mentioned time synchronized to OMC-R and RNC is consistent with RNC that is introduced in the background technology and the time synchronizing method between the NodeB.
When the time with NodeB is fiducial time, (realize the time synchronized of RNC and NodeB earlier), utilize the SNTP agreement to realize the time synchronized of RNC and OMC.
In the time synchronized to the estimation of propagation delay time by request with respond two message and finish: the server end of realizing the SNTP agreement by radio network controller, by the client of the realization SNTP of operation maintenance center agreement, operation maintenance center sends propagation delay time estimation request message to a radio network controller.

Radio network controller comprises T_Rnc fiducial time of radio network controller side periodically to operation maintenance center's transmitting time message in this time message.
Operation maintenance center obtains T_Rnc fiducial time of radio network controller side from the time message of receiving, and according to the propagation delay time value T Dealy that is estimated, presses T_Omc fiducial time that T_Omc=T_Rnc+T Dealy adjusts operation maintenance center this locality.
The time synchronized of RNC and NodeB.
If the time with OMC is fiducial time, this NodeB then carries out time synchronized with RNC according to the methods below.

RNC periodically or the instruction of accepting operation maintenance center carry out time synchronized.Periodically carrying out time synchronized with RNC is the example explanation.
RNC comprises T_Rnc fiducial time (RNC is fiducial time with the time of RNC side) of RNC side regularly to all NodeB transmitting time synchronization messages of descending extension in the time synchronized message, and the public frame number counter RFN value RFN of correspondence this fiducial time of T_Rnc
T_RNCAnd the timing offset Δ T of public frame number counter RFN and BFN between RNC that is stored and NodeB;
Receive the NodeB of this time synchronization message, from message, obtain the RFN of RNC
T_RNC, and this RFN
T_RNCThe T_Rnc and timing offset Δ T fiducial time of corresponding RNC, NodeB obtains the value BFN of its public frame number counter BFN at this moment

T_NodeB＝T_Rnc+((BFN
T_NodeB+ΔT)-RFN
T_RNC)×Mμs。The public frame number counter RFN of RNC and the public frame number counter BFN of NodeB add 1 counting every the M microsecond, as M=125 μ s.
Otherwise, if with time of NodeB be benchmark (as by NodeB, with GPS information as time reference) with GPS, also be can be by above method, time (seeing Fig. 3 and explanation thereof) of NodeB and RNC synchronously.
Referring to Fig. 2, the time synchronized flow process between RNC and NodeB on the Iub interface has been described among the figure, this flow process be NodeB do not have GPS or GPS is arranged but GPS information not as the flow process of network element time synchronization basic standard during the time.
T_NodeB=T_Rnc+ ((BFN
T_NodeB+ Δ T)-RFN
T_RNC) * M μ s, T_NodeB adjusts to its local clock.The public frame number counter RFN of RNC and the public frame number counter BFN of NodeB add 1 counting every the M microsecond, as M=125 μ s.
Referring to Fig. 3, the time synchronized flow process between RNC and NodeB on the Iub interface has been described among the figure, be NodeB has GPS and uses GPS information as the network element time synchronized flow process of fiducial time.
Step 31, when beginning to carry out time synchronized, RNC obtains the node synchronizing information that obtains when node is synchronous: t1, t2, t3, t4;
Step 32, RNC obtains according to four node synchronizing information t1, t2, t3, the RFN of t4 calculating and the timing offset Δ T between BFN;
Step 33, RNC to certain NodeB ask this NodeB fiducial time T_NodeB and corresponding this fiducial time T_NodeB public frame number counter BFN value BFN

T_RNC, and timing offset Δ T, according to the above value that obtains by formula:
T_Rnc=T_NodeB+ ((RFN
R_RNC-Δ T)-BFN
T_NodeB) * M μ s, T_Rnc adjusts to its local clock.The public frame number counter RFN of RNC and the public frame number counter BFN of NodeB add 1 counting every the M microsecond, as M=125 μ s.
Referring to Fig. 4, RNC and NodeB computing formula lock in time are made an explanation.
Suppose that at first the time deviation between RNC and the NodeB is Δ T, when downlink transfer time delay and uplink time delay all are d/2, then:
t2＝(t1-ΔT)+d/2
t4＝(t3+ΔT)+d/2
Carrying out simple fortran then has:
(t4-t3)＝ΔT+d/2
(t2-t1)＝-ΔT+d/2
((t4-t3)-(t2-t1))/2＝((ΔT+d/2)-(-ΔT+d/2))/2
＝(2×ΔT)/2＝ΔT
In WCDMA system and the TD-SCDMA system, the network element time synchronized comprises time synchronized between OMC and RNC and the time synchronized between RNC and NodeB.For example do not adopt under the situation of GPS at NodeB, system is a benchmark with the time of OMC, by the time synchronized between OMC and RNC, allows the RNC be benchmark with the time of OMC, again by the time synchronized between RNC and NodeB, allows the NodeB be benchmark with the time of RNC.Adopt at NodeB under the situation of GPS, NodeB is a benchmark with GPS information, and the time synchronized between RNC and NodeB does not then need the time synchronized between OMC and RNC, by the time synchronized between RNC and NodeB, allow the RNC be benchmark, just can allow the OMC be benchmark then with the time of RNC with the time of NodeB.In the time synchronization process of realizing between RNC and NodeB, all fully used node synchronizing information and the timing offset result thereof who in the node synchronizing process, obtains between RNC and NodeB.
