In embodiments of the present invention, the eNB that will have measurement to need is called demand side eNB, and the eNB adjacent with this demand side eNB is called measurement side eNB.Still comprising 10 eNB with system below is example, describes the inventive method in detail.
As shown in Figure 3, be embodiment of the invention method step schematic flow sheet, this method may further comprise the steps:
Step 301: demand side eNB sends to the measurement demand and measures side eNB, and this measurement demand comprises measurement event.
All eNB can or measure side eNB for demand side eNB, therefore, each eNB sends to 9 adjacent eNB with the measurement demand of self setting, the measurement demand can comprise: the contents such as eNB address, Measuring Time sign and measurement event of measurement demand are arranged, and each eNB can set different measurement demands according to self-demand.Described measurement side eNB measures according to the described measurement event that receives, and the measurement report that generates is sent to the eNB of described eNB address correspondence according to the Measuring Time sign of setting.

In addition, measuring after at least two described measurement event of side eNB with the same type that receives are classified as a class, and before such measurement event measured, receive again that other eNB send comprise the measurement demand of measurement event the time, then again at least two described measurement event of the same type that receives are classified as a class, described list of requirements is upgraded, form new measurement list of requirements, promptly again the measurement event that receives is divided into more than one class according to described imposing a condition.Further, can set the update cycle,, then measure side and will upgrade list of requirements,, then will when 100ms arrives, carry out list of requirements and upgrade if 50ms receives new measurement demand in the cycle every 100ms as 100ms.
Step 303: described demand side eNB obtains self the pairing measurement result in address that comprises from the described measurement report that receives.
In step 302, measuring side sorts out the measurement event in the measurement demand, and each class measured, the measurement report that generates sends according to the eNB address of measurement event correspondence in the class, after the eNB of described eNB address correspondence receives described measurement report, obtain the measurement result in the measurement report, but the measurement result that comprises a more than demand side eNB in the described measurement report, therefore, demand side eNB obtains self pairing measurement result in address according to self address that comprises in the described measurement report, rather than the measurement result of self then neglects.
After obtaining the measurement result that self needs as demand side eNB, send and measure the finish command to measuring side eNB, comprise in this order measure identify, address and the measurement event of this eNB.After the eNB of described measurement side received described measurement the finish command, described measurement event of deletion and corresponding eNB address from measure list of requirements were promptly upgraded and are measured list of requirements.
