In Fig. 3, the method 200 that is used for switching between system starts from source base node (Node B) and keeps and switch to the necessary parameter of neighbor systems (square frame 202).Source node B sends neighbor list (NL) (square frame 204) to UE.This NL can specify the poor or other system customizing messages of reference time between type, centre frequency, system bandwidth, source and each target of the RAT that is used for each target (for example, GSM, WCDMA, HSxPA, LTE, 1x/DO, UMB, WiMAX or the like).For example, the other system customizing messages comprises color coding and pseudo noise (PN) skew, sub-district ID.And for example, for WCDMA/HSxPA, the other system customizing messages also comprises centre frequency and scrambler.Though in some cases, this transmission is clean culture; But, in exemplary method, can broadcast this NL to a plurality of UE.Therefore, in square frame 206, handoff algorithms is sent to UE from source node B.In some instances, the independent broadcasting of NL enough is used for pointing out a plurality of UE to begin to search for a plurality of target node bs that NL comprises.In other example, algorithm has at first been stipulated the condition/standard of necessity of the prerequisite of search to start with, for example each symbol energy that measures from source node B and the ratio (Es/Io) of interference density.Select or in addition as another kind, algorithm dictates the condition switched of UE request.
Usually, a plurality of UE have and enough standby interweaving carry out the measurement of requirement.Source node B keeps interweave (a plurality of DRX pattern) of desired amt, is used for the measurement (square frame 208) of other system to every kind of system type.Should begin to search for other system (for example) in case in square frame 210, determined UE, then carry out handoff algorithms, judge whether approval switching (square frame 212) in response to the reception of NL, in response to NL and algorithm/search criterion or the like.Then, (square frame 214) switched in the UE request, and source node B considers to allow or refuse this switching (square frame 216).For example, handoff algorithms can be reported to the police source node B to the selection of switching, so that balanced load.To switch in order keeping connecting to carry out if measure indication, will to increase the proportion of permission so.
Describe the sequential chart that is used for method for communicating 300 between UE 302 that activates and source node B 304 among Fig. 4, and finally switched to target node b 306.In square frame 308, source node B 304 broadcast system information pieces (SIB), described system information block (SIB) all is suitable for the UE 302 that is under idle and the state of activation.Network can dynamically change measurement and the Report Parameters among the SIB, for example periodically sends described measurement and Report Parameters on Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH), reflects the availability or the local loading condition of destination node.In square frame 310, UE 302 obtains NL and searching algorithm from SIB, begins to search for other system so that determine when.The reception of NL can be initiated search.For example, source node B 304 can avoid broadcasting NL, and satisfying UE 302 up to loading condition can be with till destination node be connected.Perhaps, start algorithm could requires further to determine that the signal strength signal intensity that receives from source node B 304 has been lower than certain thresholding.
In square frame 312, in some instances, UE 302 asks discontinuous receptions (DRX), so that be applicable to the search to goal systems; Yet, as can be seen,, search for the not this request of demand of other system according to advantage of the present invention.In the response of square frame 314, source node B 304 execution algorithms are used for (a) switching based on load, and perhaps (b) is based on the DRX pattern of stream combination.Then, in square frame 316, send corresponding message to UE 302 from source node B 304.If the former sends the goal systems search command so, described order comprises target system information and response parameter (TVM, position, international measurement of UE or the like).If the latter allows the DRX pattern so.In square frame 318, UE 302 beginning ferret out system/cell are switched.
In square frame 320, for example, when UE 302 is in continuous grouping connection mode following time, UE 302 inserts Random Access Channel (RACH), thereby causes in square frame 322 connection between UE 302 and source node B304 to set up process.
In square frame 324,302 pairs of handoff request of UE or target search response respond.Measurement can bundle with this response, comprises the TVM of the queue size that is used for target node b 306 or the power measurement that receives (for example, Es/Io, RSSI or the like).
In square frame 326, source node B 304 judgements allow or refuse to switch.If allow, in square frame 328, source node B 304 uses target information and target node b 306 from UE 302 to communicate so.In square frame 330, target node b 306 allows to switch, and described process comprises the target system information that UE 302 uses.In square frame 332, source node B 304 makes to UE 302 and transmits the response of switching permission, if available, described switching allows to comprise target system information.Therefore, by promoting switching, time delay and connection failure have been reduced.
In Fig. 5, described the UE 402 and the source node B 404 that are used to be under the idle condition and carried out the method 400 that switches to target node b 406.In square frame 408, source node B 404 sends in measuring SIB and measures and Report Parameters, and the broadcasting of described measurement and Report Parameters comprises the information about adjacent node B (that is, target node b 406).In square frame 410, UE 402 responds NL and the searching algorithm that receives by beginning ferret out Node B 406.This search is based on the signal strength signal intensity that receives from source node B 404 and (for example, Es/Io) is lower than predetermined thresholding.In square frame 412, carry out the NL/ searching algorithm on the other hand, determine when and feel the abundant connection of approval position updating request.In case make definitely, so, in square frame 414, UE 402 makes position updating request to target node b 406, and subsequently, the position that described target node b 406 responses receive in square frame 416 is upgraded.
In Fig. 6, as mentioned above, be used for determining that the method 500 when or whether UE begins another systematic search starts from the algorithm that square frame 502 receives from source node B.In square frame 504, receive the tabulation of neighbor systems, in this example, this tabulation is the type (for example, GSM, WCDMA, HSxPA, LTE, 1x/DO, UMB and WiMAX) of RAT system.This tabulation comprises centre frequency, system bandwidth, the difference of the reference time between source and target or system-specific information (for example, 1x/DO color coding and PN skew; WCDMA/HSxPA sub-district ID, centre frequency and scrambler or the like).In square frame 506, source node B specifies subclass rather than all tabulations of the NL of search.In square frame 508, determine in the NL of target, whether to comprise another system.If not, method 500 withdraws from square frame 510 places so, till receiving available NL.
If in square frame 508, found goal systems, so,, in square frame 512, carry out single order infinite impulse response (IIR) filter time constant to source node B Es/Io if ask.Then, in square frame 514, determine the thresholding (" τ that whether has been lower than appointment is measured in the filtering of the Es/Io of source node B
1").If be "Yes" in square frame 514, perhaps,, so,, then in square frame 516, use the 2nd RX chain to carry out search if second RX chain can be used if the reception of NL enough is used for search in frame 508.Yet in many examples, for the consideration that beautifies with cost, the susceptibility of the 2nd Rx chain is lower than main Rx chain.Therefore, described method adapts to this condition by the switching (that is, can not suppose independent adjustable RX chain or dual system reception/processing simultaneously) that the wireless VCC of phantom order is used between RAT.For example, as can be seen, continuous 10 frames (seizure of described 10 frames allows faster, and gsm system obtains) by receiving gsm system have two RX chains and strengthen switching really.In square frame 518, for UE, it is necessary that request DRX is beneficial to search for.
After having carried out as the described search of top Fig. 6, in Fig. 7, execution is used for determining when or whether UE asks the method for switching 600.The tabulation of one or more goal systems can be limited in the subclass of the NL of source node B appointment, as the description of square frame 602.Although as can be seen,, for the sake of clarity, the measurement of a target node b has only been described for possible switching can be monitored a plurality of target node bs according to advantage of the present invention.In square frame 604, the measurement of the power that Executive Agent's target node b receives, for example Es/Io.In square frame 606, this measurement is a low-pass filtering, in this example is described, uses first order IIR filtering device " y (n)=(1/T
c) x (n)+(1-1/T
c) y (n-1) ".In square frame 608, whether calculate this signal along with timetable reveals enough strong (for example, minimum credits).In this example was described, for each time interval, credit increased, and in the described time interval, by some pre-adjustment differences and other consumed credits, the credit that the power grade of target Es/Io (dB) surpasses each time interval of source Es/Io increases.In square frame 610, judge whether the credit of accumulation surpasses minimum credits threshold (" τ
MC").If in square frame 612, further the search of initiating based on UE judges whether this result arrives so, and, if in square frame 614, judge further whether the ratio (Ec/Io) of the every relative interference density of target energy surpasses the minimum report thresholding of source node B appointment so.If if perhaps be not the search that UE initiates in square frame 612, the UE request is switched in square frame 616 so.

DL PHY channel comprises: Common Pilot Channel (CPICH), synchronizing channel (SCH), Common Control Channel (CCCH), shared DL control channel (SDCCH), multicast control channel (MCCH), shared UL allocated channel (SUACH), acknowledgement channel (ACKCH), DL physics shared data channel (DL-PSDCH), UL power control channel (UPCCH), Page Indication Channel (PICH), load indicating channel (LICH); UL PHY channel comprises: Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), channel quality indicating channel (CQICH), acknowledgement channel (ACKCH), antenna subset indicating channel (ASICH), sharing request channel (SREQCH), UL physics shared data channel (UL-PSDCH), broadband pilot channel (BPICH).
Description has above comprised the example of each side.Certainly, all possible combination of describing parts or method in order to describe each side is impossible, but those skilled in the art will realize that many further combinations and conversion all are feasible.Therefore, the detailed description of theme be intended to contain fall into claims spirit and scope in the institute change, revise and be out of shape.
Specifically, about carrying out various functions by above-mentioned parts, device, circuit, system etc., except as otherwise noted, the term (comprise and be called " module ") that is used for describing these parts is intended to corresponding to (for example carrying out described parts, any parts of appointed function function equivalence), even with described structure be not of equal value on the structure, but described any parts can be carried out the function of the each side of the exemplary description of the application.In this, can also recognize that described each side comprises system and computer-readable medium, described computer-readable medium has and is used to carry out the technology of the whole bag of tricks or the computer executable instructions of behavior.
In addition, though specific feature about the only embodiment among several embodiment has been described,, one or more other the special cards in conjunction with this feature and other embodiment can help any given or specific application.In a way, with regard to the term that uses in specification or claims " comprise ", with regard to " containing " and other word, the mode that contains of these terms is similar to " comprising " speech.In addition, term " perhaps " expression of using in specification or claims " non-exclusive or ".
In addition, as can be seen, the each several part of described system and method contains or comprises Artificial Intelligence, rote learning, perhaps based on knowledge or regular parts, subassembly, flow process, means, method or mechanism (for example, supporting: vector machine, neural network, professional system, bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines, grader or the like).Particularly, these parts can be with specific mechanism or the processing automation of carrying out, thereby makes a plurality of parts of system and method have more adaptability and effective and intelligent.For example but not only for therewith, the RAN of evolution (for example, access point, e Node B) can according to before under conditions of similarity with same or similar machinery carry out mutual, infer or precognition data service condition and opportunity, so that help to reduce the type that time delay or connection error switch to another RAT.
Based on example system described above, in conjunction with reference to some flow charts, described a plurality of methods, and carried out described a plurality of method according to the subject events of describing.Though in order to make explanation simple, with a plurality of method representations be described as a series of square frame, but should be appreciated that and find out be, illustrated subject events is not subjected to the restriction of square frame order, because, some square frames can by different order take place or with shown in the application and other square frame of describing take place simultaneously.And in order to realize the method described in the application, the square frame that is not all explanations all is essential.In addition, can find out further that the method that the application describes can be stored on the goods, transmit and transmit these methods thereby be beneficial to computer.The term goods that use among the application are intended to contain can be from the computer program of any computer-readable device, carrier or medium access.
Should be as can be seen, all or part of any patent that the application incorporates into the form of reference, publication or other are described material, and just material does not in the text combine with existing definition, explanation or the scope that clashes at other material that this description provides.Therefore, for the needs of scope, the description that clearly provides with the application replaces the conflict material of any the application as the reference combination.The application is as any material of reference combination or part wherein, if other that provides with existing definition, explanation or the application described material and clashed, so only in conjunction with described any material that does not cause this bond material and existing description material to clash or part wherein.
