Fig. 6-9-utilizes access point base station to carry out the method for switching
Fig. 6-9 shows and utilizes access point base station to carry out the illustrative examples of switching.Method shown in these figure can be used in combination with any one or miscellaneous equipment of computer system shown in the top figure or equipment.In each embodiment, the certain methods key element shown in the figure can carry out simultaneously, carry out or omit wherein some key element according to the different order outside indicating among the figure.Also can carry out additional certain methods key element as required.As shown in the figure, this method can as described belowly be carried out.
Described changing method can be in order to avoid the frequent switching between macro base station and the access point base station environment, and this frequent switching is for example because access point base station can be arranged in causing Anywhere within the grand overlay area.For CDMA2000-first generation RTT agreement, the switching between macro base station and the access point base station environment can be controlled by the content and the handoff request message of the existing procedure of appointment in the CDMA hierarchical service (user area identification message, privately owned neighbor list, feature notification message, have the quickflashing message (flash message) of information), access point base station access strategy state or pattern, preferred terminal tabulation.Similarly, for EV-DO or UMTS system, the switching between macro base station and the access point base station environment can be controlled by the content and the handoff request message of access point base station access strategy, preferred terminal tabulation.
In the step 602-of Fig. 6 step 606, can for example come the configuring access point base station according to method shown in Figure 3.In step 602, access point base station is carried out at least a measurement to the signal that receives from macro base station, and sends this measurement result (in step 604) to the service provider.In step 606, access point base station can receive handoff parameter from the service provider, as the tap threshold value " MSFDT of macro base station to access point base station (or femtocell) DROP" and access point base station to the tap threshold value " F2FDT of macro base station DROP", one or more lag parameters etc.In fact, this handoff parameter can by the service provider during disposing or At All Other Times (for example, after network or environment change) set up to be used for access point base station.
In step 608, when accessing terminal from macro base station when access point base station moves, access point base station can be carried out the measurement to the signal that receives from accessing terminal.In the embodiment of Fig. 5, this accesses terminal and can use the service provider to pass through adjacent base station, the wireless service that provides as macrocell base stations.This accesses terminal can be within the overlay area of access point base station, perhaps can be at least enough near so that access point base station can begin to measure or receive the signal from accessing terminal.In certain embodiments, this accesses terminal can be the accessing terminal of definition in the tabulation of the preferred terminal of access point base station, perhaps can be for example according to the qualified reception of admission policy information of access point base station from the access of access point base station or accessing terminal of service.
In certain embodiments, at least a measurement that the signal that receives by accessing terminal is carried out can comprise that the signal strength signal intensity that accesses terminal the detecting access point base station and will receive by accessing terminal reports to access point base station.In certain embodiments, this accesses terminal and can measure any signal of base station intensity that it can be communicated by letter with it or detect, and the base station that detects by signal measurement information broadcast indication and/or the message of their signal strength signal intensity.
More specifically, in CDMA2000-first generation RTT system, when detecting access point base station when accessing terminal, it can send PSMM message.After receiving channel assignment message (CAM), two honeycomb forward links can be in the soft handover (SHO).Accessing terminal to remain on soft handover, up to reaching by the tap threshold value MSFDT of macro base station to access point base station DROPThe access point base station signal strength signal intensity of appointment.MSFDT about the overlay area of macrocellular and access point base station DROPParameter as shown in Figure 7.In this case, macro base station is to the tap threshold value MSFDT of access point base station DROPParameter dots, and near its signal strength signal intensity that occurs in macrocellular and access point base station intersects.Thereby macro base station is to the tap threshold value MSFDT of access point base station DROPParameter is used for indication and switches the time that should take place when being switched between macrocellular (or macro base station) and access point base station when accessing terminal.Be noted that macro base station arrives the tap threshold value MSFDT of access point base station DROPParameter just can be assumed to (dB) value, so that control is switched and interference region.' 0 ' value can forbid switching effectively.
Similarly, for EV-DO or UMTS system, when detecting access point base station when accessing terminal, it can for example send honeycomb to access point base station and measure message.To top similar, access point base station can wait for that the value up to signal strength signal intensity reaches the tap threshold value MSFDT of macro base station to access point base station DROPFinish to determine to switch.
In step 610, access point base station can determine whether signal strength signal intensity reaches by MSFDT DROPThe signal strength signal intensity of appointment.If switch offset threshold (MSFDT DROP) reach, then access point base station can send handoff request or handover report to service provider (in step 612), otherwise, turn back to step 610.
In step 614, in response to handoff request message, macrocell base stations can be removed from the activation that accesses terminal set, and access point base station can access terminal to this service is provided.Removing macrocell base stations from the activation set that accesses terminal can be carried out according to request by service provider and/or access point base station as required.The activation set that accesses terminal can be determined to access terminal and use which base station to carry out network insertion.In this case, macro base station can stop to provide service to this terminal, and this accesses terminal and can continue to use this access point base station, thereby finishes the switching from the macro base station to the access point base station.
Notice, although above-mentioned switching flow is mainly finished by access point base station, can imagine to draw that switching flow also can be managed by miscellaneous equipment or server, for example by service provider self (for example service provider's network controller).Thereby Fig. 5 describes the base station that will transmit service provision to accessing terminal is switched to access point base station by macro base station switching flow.Should be noted that and to use similar flow process to carry out switching and/or other switching between the different access point base station.
