Description

A kind of method, Apparatus and system of realizing soft handover
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication technology field, relate in particular to a kind of method, Apparatus and system of in wireless communication system, realizing soft handover.
Background technology
Research and development to wireless communication system is one of focus of the present communication technology.In wireless communication system, a kind of inevitable demand is: portable terminal is moving between the network that uses same wireless technology and is moving between the network of use different radio technology.Switching is the basic skills that solves various mobility demands.
Character according to switching generally is divided into soft handover and direct-cut operation to switching.Soft handover is to connect earlier the changing method that afterwards disconnects, and promptly first the and target BS of portable terminal is set up and got in touch, and then disconnection and former base station a kind of changing method of getting in touch; Direct-cut operation is that elder generation disconnects latter linked changing method, i.e. portable terminal disconnection is earlier got in touch with former base station, and then sets up a kind of changing method of contact with target BS.
According to the difference of each communication system, the switching mode of employing also has difference.CDMA2000 1x (first generation CDMA 2000, be one of 3G (Third Generation) Moblie standard technique, be responsible for formulating standard by 3G (Third Generation) Moblie collaborative project tissue 2) the system forward link adopts the mode of code division multiplexing, and its handoff technique that adopts is the traditional soft handoff technique.Adopt the code division multiplexing mode to compare with CDMA2000 1x system forward link, 1xEV-DO (first generation is only supported Packet data service evolution) system forward link mainly adopts time division multiplexing mode.In order further to improve the resource utilization of 1xEV-DO system, 1xEV-DO system forward link employing virtual soft technology generation has been replaced the traditional soft handoff technique in the CDMA2000 1x system.
Only there is a data passage simultaneously in the forward link of virtual soft technology, and may there be a plurality of data channel in the forward link of traditional soft handoff technique simultaneously, so the 1xEV-DO system adopts forward direction virtual soft technology to eliminate the additional system expense that the traditional soft handoff technique in the CDMA2000 1x system produces.
But the virtual soft technology has increased the processing burden of network side in the overhead that minimizing traditional soft handoff technique brings.This is because for the former sub-district and the Serving cell that are in the virtual soft state, network side all needs to send data to them, thereby has increased the data backup demand of switching cell, has also increased the possibility that sends repetition and redundant data.
In OFDMA (inserting based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing multiple access) system, forward link mainly adopts the time-division to add the frequency division multiplexing mode.In order to solve the mobility problem of portable terminal, improve the resource utilization of forward link, in the OFDMA system, adopted FCS (fast cell selection) technology mostly.
Specifically, fast cell selects the principle of technology to be: in each time slot (frame), portable terminal carries out signal quality measured to all sub-districts in the Active Set of sub-district, carry out the signal quality measured of sub-district such as the mode that can select the signal to noise ratio of all pilot tones in the Active Set of modal continuous measurement sub-district, with the top-quality sub-district of selective channel therefrom as Serving cell.When adopting fast cell to select technology, the detailed process that switch the sub-district is: portable terminal is at first told the sign of its Serving cell of choosing of sub-district in the Active Set of sub-district by up signaling, cell identification in the Active Set of sub-district goes out this up signaling then, then selected sub-district then becomes the Serving cell of portable terminal, and former Serving cell then stops data and sends.In the whole data transmission procedure of portable terminal and sub-district, portable terminal only with the sub-district Active Set in a sub-district carry out transfer of data.
Described sub-district Active Set is the set of one group of sub-district connecting with current mobile terminal, and for current mobile terminal, these sub-districts all have the good channel quality.Sub-district in the Active Set of sub-district and the contact of portable terminal show as each sub-district and have set up with portable terminal all that signaling is connected or control connection, i.e. control information alternately between each sub-district and the portable terminal.The final sub-district of selecting, be called Serving cell or Serving cell group, the contact of they and portable terminal shows as has set up control connection simultaneously and has been connected with professional between each sub-district and the portable terminal, be not only control information alternately between each sub-district and the portable terminal, more can interactive service data.Control information generally is meant state information, channel quality, solicited message and response message etc., and business datum then comprises network and sends to the downlink service data of portable terminal and the uplink business data that portable terminal sends to network.
As seen, fast cell selection technology is that portable terminal selects the best sub-district of channel quality in the Active Set of sub-district to transmit for it provides data apace, fast cell selects technology to be with the different of soft hand-off, although these sub-districts all belong to same sub-district Active Set, but at any time, have and have only a base station to communicate contact with AT (portable terminal), this has just reduced interference potentially, has improved power system capacity.
But, fast cell selects technology can only select a best sub-district and a portable terminal of channel quality to carry out descending and up data transmission at any one time, though effectively saved overhead, but portable terminal under the close situation of a plurality of Active Set cell channel quality is arranged for being in cell edge, the transfer of data that can not offer the best effect obtains maximum gain.
FCGS (fast cell divides the group selection technology) is the technology that combines soft hand-off and fast cell selection technology.In simple terms, carry out signal quality measured by portable terminal to all sub-districts in the Active Set of sub-district exactly, therefrom select the best sub-district of one group of signal quality as the Serving cell group fast, portable terminal is told the sign of its Serving cell group of choosing of sub-district in the Active Set of sub-district by up signaling, cell identification in the Active Set of sub-district goes out this up signaling, and one group of then selected sub-district becomes the Serving cell group of portable terminal.All sub-districts in this Serving cell group send identical data to portable terminal, and portable terminal can obtain descending soft handover gain by the data that merge from the Serving cell group; And thereby the signal that portable terminal sends also obtains up soft handover gain for all sub-districts receptions and the merging of Serving cell group.
Divide in the group selection technology at fast cell, replaced Serving cell in the fast cell selection technology with the Serving cell group, can regard the Serving cell group as a kind of expansion of Serving cell, promptly the Serving cell group also can comprise the situation of having only a Serving cell.When the residing wireless environment of portable terminal was fit to some Serving cells, system provided service with regard to this Serving cell of assignment to portable terminal; When the residing wireless environment of portable terminal was fit to some Serving cell groups, system provided service with regard to this Serving cell group of assignment for portable terminal.As seen, be provided with the advantage that the fast cell of Serving cell group divides the group selection technology both to possess fast cell selection technology, also overcome the shortcoming of fast cell selection technology, can bring better service quality and experience for the user.
Above-described traditional soft handoff technique is applicable to Circuit-switched wireless communication system, virtual soft technology and fast cell select to be used in the wireless communication system of packet switch, and fast cell divides the group selection technology can be applicable to the wireless communication system of circuit switching and packet switch simultaneously.
Specific implementation to existing a kind of FCGS technology is elaborated below.
In the wireless communication system of present packet switch, under the situation of using fast cell grouping handoff technique, portable terminal is at first to carrying out signal quality measured to all sub-districts in the Active Set of sub-district, select the best several sub-districts of signal strength signal intensity as the Serving cell group, then the signal quality indication of merging and the group number of this Serving cell group are reported network side by CQI (channel quality indication) channel, last network side determines the Serving cell collection of this Serving cell group as portable terminal according to the CQI report of portable terminal. at down direction, each sub-district of this Serving cell group issues the down channel assignment message respectively and sends identical data to portable terminal, and portable terminal reception and merging are from the data-signal of each sub-district of Serving cell group; At up direction, each sub-district of Serving cell group issues the up channel assignment message respectively, portable terminal sends upstream data according to the uplink channel resources that distributes to the Serving cell group, and each sub-district reception of Serving cell group and merging are from the data-signal of portable terminal.
Portable terminal divides into groups for all sub-districts in the current area Active Set according to comprising different sub-districts in the different groupings.Below by an example this group technology is described: suppose to comprise 4 sub-districts in the current sub-district Active Set of portable terminal, be respectively C1, C2, C3, C4, the full-size of the Serving cell group of system recommendations is 3 sub-districts, possible like this grouping just has: (C1), (C2), (C3), (C4), (C1, C2), (C1, C3), (C1, C4), (C2, C3), (C2, C4), (C3, C4), (C1, C2, C3), (C1, C2, C4), (C2, C3, C4), promptly one have 13 kinds of packet modes, that can organize for it is definite is numbered 0 to 12.
As seen, the advantage of fast cell has divided group selection technological synthesis fast cell selection technology and soft hand-off, but also corresponding network side and the portable terminal complexity in realization of having increased had higher requirement to the design of network side and portable terminal.
But, in existing FCGS technology, when portable terminal is determined a best Serving cell group and is reported to AT, because the channel quality of mobile terminal reporting is the channel quality that all sub-districts merge in this Serving cell group, so network side and do not know that the signal quality of which sub-district in this Serving cell group is best.Like this, when the decision of Serving cell group is portable terminal allocation of downlink or uplink channel resources, though these channel resources are identical, each sub-district of Serving cell group all must send corresponding downstream and up channel assignment message to portable terminal respectively.Simultaneously, owing to be in its scrambler difference separately of each sub-district of Serving cell group, the resource that its assignment message takies also has nothing in common with each other probably, can not be moved terminal and merge and receive so these comprise assignment message that identical content sends to portable terminal, portable terminal can only receive these assignment messages respectively.Obviously, the assignment message that each sub-district of Serving cell group has sent identical content respectively is a kind of waste of assignment message expense to portable terminal; Simultaneously, portable terminal need receive the assignment message from each sub-district of Serving cell group respectively, has also increased the unnecessary burden of portable terminal.
Thereby, how under the situation of implementing quick cell group handoff technique, give full play to the advantage of this technology, reach and improve Cell Edge User service quality and effectively utilize balance between the network side channel resource, be an open question still at present.
Summary of the invention
