Accompanying drawing described herein is used to provide further understanding of the present invention, constitutes the application's a part, and illustrative examples of the present invention and explanation thereof are used to explain the present invention, do not constitute improper qualification of the present invention.In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is the TA sketch map in the LTE network;
Fig. 2 is the schematic flow sheet according to the trace regions merging method of the embodiment of the invention; And
Fig. 3 is the schematic flow sheet of the method for separating according to the trace regions of the embodiment of the invention.
Embodiment
With reference to accompanying drawing, specify embodiment of the present invention below.
With reference to figure 2, the trace regions merging method according to the embodiment of the invention is described.Wherein, when the network planning, TA is carried out initial setting up, and TA is carried out initial setting up observing time.Wherein, TA can look the demand of operator and decide observing time, considers network operation stability simultaneously, and suggestion can be one month, also can be several months.As shown in Figure 2, this trace regions merging method may further comprise the steps:
S202, after the network operation, EPC the TA that is provided with in observing time to adding up by the behavioral statistics data of all UE under the TA of its management.For example, the UE number under the TAi is designated as UESumi, the TA update times that UEx carries out between TA is added up, be designated as Tijx.Wherein, i, j represent the source TA of UE in the TA renewal process and the sign of target TA.
S204 analyzes the UE behavioral statistics data of obtaining, and judges whether the TA update times of most of UE between TAi and TAj surpasses TA merging thresholding under TAi and the TAj.For example, represent that with MHTij the TA between TAi and the TAj merges thresholding, the configuration on the backstage can be revised according to network demand by operator.Represent that with UEMSumij the number of the UE that TAi and TAj merging needs satisfy accounts for the number of all UE under TAi and the TAj.If Tijx>MHTij, then Count adds 1, and wherein the scope of x is 1~UESumi.
S206 if the TA update times of most of UE between TAi and TAj surpassed TA merging thresholding under TAi and the TAj, then merges TAi and TAj.That is to say, if Count>UEMSumij then merges TAi and TAj.
Wherein, can dispose according to the backstage of EPC and judge whether to automatically perform TA and merge.If the backstage is configured to automatically perform, then EPC merges TAi and TAj, and the change backstage shows; Otherwise EPC shows the result of decision that TAi and TAj merge on the backstage, and adjudicates whether carry out manual merging on the backstage by operator.
With reference to figure 3, explain according to the trace regions of the embodiment of the invention and separate method.Wherein, when the network planning, TA is carried out initial setting up, and TA is carried out initial setting up observing time.Wherein, TA can look the demand of operator and decide observing time, considers network operation stability simultaneously, and suggestion can be one month, also can be several months.As shown in Figure 3, this trace regions method of separating may further comprise the steps:
S302, after the network operation, EPC adds up the behavioral statistics data of all UE under the TA of management in observing time at the TA that is provided with.For example, UE numbers all under the TAi is designated as UESumi, the TA update times that UEx carries out between TA is added up, be designated as Tijx.Wherein, i, j represent the source TA of UE in the TA renewal process and the sign of target TA.
S304 analyzes the UE behavioral statistics data of obtaining, and judges whether the TA update times of most of UE between TAi and TAj is lower than TA under TAi and the TAj to separate thresholding.For example, represent that with DHTij TAi and TAj separate thresholding, the configuration on the backstage can be revised according to network demand by operator.Represent that with UEDSumi number that TAi separates the UE that needs satisfy accounts for the number of all UE under the TAi.Tijx<DHTij, then Count adds 1, and wherein the scope of x is 1~UESumi,
S306 if the TA update times of most of UE between TAi and TAj is lower than TA and separates thresholding under TAi and the TAj, then separates TAi and TAj.For example, if Count>UEDSumij thinks that then TAi and TAj need separate.Wherein, can rationally separate, under satisfying most of UE scope of activities, UE as much as possible is divided among the TA according to UE scope of activities and distribution.
Wherein, if the backstage of EPC is configured to automatic alter mode, then TAi is separated and be TAk, TAl ..., the TA number of separating can dispose on the backstage, and the suggestion of this instantiation is 2, and shows on the backstage; If the backstage of EPC is configured to non-automatic alter mode, then court verdict is shown on the backstage whether separate according to this TAi of self-demand decision by operator.
The change of network side TA because the UE of LTE_IDLE pattern can broadcast by the cycle interception system, is just registered sub-district for the not influence of UE of idle (IDLE) state again.UE tabulates with the own TA that preserves according to reading system broadcasting TA to compare, if change or not in scope, with regard to last renewal.For the ongoing UE of business also not influence.Because the TA that professional ongoing UE deposits tabulation can not change, and the UE in the handoff procedure is concerned about Target cell and is indifferent to TA, therefore to not influence of handoff procedure; After the UE business has been broken; Get back to the LTE_IDLE pattern,, upgrade so can carry out TA at once because TA changes in the system broadcasts.To just the UE in paging is influential, can produce paging less than phenomenon, but after can recover after going up cell update.In current UTRAN system,, equally also can cause the paging failure phenomenon if UE has come paging in doing the process of location area updating.
In sum; The present invention utilizes handover information between UE behavioral statistics information that network side gets access to and TA, makes EPC close planning and the met in practice of TA, has reduced the TA renewal process that is in the TA border; Thereby reduced network resources waste, avoided the switching between irrational TA.Be not only applicable to the LTE system according to the trace regions merging of the present invention and/or the method for separating, be applicable to any GSM (WCDMA, TDSCDMA, GSM, CDMA2000) that comprises the management of paging territory yet.
The above is merely embodiments of the invention, is not limited to the present invention, and for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and variation.All within spirit of the present invention and principle, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the claim scope of the present invention.
