A kind of method and apparatus of notifying cell scrambling conflict
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, particularly a kind of method and apparatus of notifying cell scrambling conflict.
Background technology
At LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) in the system, in the process of the normal operation in base station, whenever ambient network all may change, for example increased new base station, perhaps the base station has changed cell parameter ECGI (EUTRAN cellular global identity, long evolving system cellular global identity), PCI (Physical Cell Identifier, Physical Cell Identifier) value, frequency etc.; At this moment, can be between the base station by the config update process of X2 interface, the service cell information of eNBs (base station) behind mutual variation the and the neighboring BS information of Serving cell comprise information such as PCI, CGI (Cell Global Identifier, cellular global identity), frequency.
Lift an example, when the neighboring BS information of the Serving cell of eNB1 or Serving cell changes, need change by this information of the relevant base station of eNB config update process notice.Fig. 1 is a base station configuration updating success process, as shown in the figure, if eNB2 can accept the new information of eNB1, then returns eNB config update response confirmation message; Fig. 2 is the base station configuration updating failure procedure, as shown in the figure, if eNB2 can not accept the new information of eNB1, then returns eNB config update failed message, and carries corresponding failure cause.
For the interference between the reduction system, identical PCI can not be used in two adjacent sub-districts with frequency, still, because the PCI of each sub-district, base station is the scrambler of physical layer, can adopt the mode of base station self-configuring, thereby the generation that can't avoid PCI to conflict/obscure.The PCI does not here conflict and is meant: any two adjacent co-frequency cells all can not use same PCI; PCI does not obscure and is meant: can not have any two co-frequency cells to use identical PCI in all adjacent areas of a sub-district.
The change of the other side base station relevant information is notified by the config update process in the base station, and these change and all might cause the PCI conflict or obscure.Also have along with the UE measurement reports and find the adjacent area, can take this to find that new PCI conflicts/obscures, therefore require in the running of base station, to possess lasting PCI collision detection ability, can find the generation that conflicts/obscure as early as possible, and correct these mistakes, improve network service quality.
The deficiencies in the prior art are: when owing between the neighbor cell PCI takes place and conflicts/when obscuring, the mechanism that does not have in the prior protocols to be fit to tells the other side base station PCI to conflict, the base station also just can't carry out follow-up at PCI conflict make effective action and solve the PCI conflict, may cause the increasing of base station configuration updating process time delay, reduce systematic function.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with Figure of description the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
Fig. 3 is the method flow schematic diagram of notifying cell scrambling conflict, as shown in the figure, can comprise in the method flow of notifying cell scrambling conflict:
The adjacent sub-district of the Serving cell of step 301, first base station or Serving cell is after upgrading Physical Cell Identifier PCI, first base station sends the base station configuration updating request message to second base station, carries the PCI of the adjacent cell update of the Serving cell of first base station or Serving cell in the described base station configuration updating request message.
Step 302, second base station detect the PCI that upgrades first base station with oneself Serving cell or the PCI of the adjacent sub-district of Serving cell conflicts or when obscuring, return the base station configuration updating failed message to first base station, and to indicate failure cause be PCI conflict or obscure.
In the enforcement, in the process of the normal operation in base station, when the base station has changed cell parameter PCI value, need change by this information of the relevant base station of eNB config update process notice.When changing as PCI as eNB1, eNB1 sends eNB config update request message to eNB2, eNB2 receives from the Serving cell PCI that finds eNB1 behind the base station configuration updating information of eNB1 and changes, whether then detect the new PCI that changes conflicts with the Serving cell of oneself or the PCI of the adjacent sub-district of Serving cell, if conflict, then eNB2 should return eNB config update failed message to eNB1, and clearly to indicate failure cause be " PCI conflict " or " PCI obscures ", the eNB config update procedure failure that PCI conflicts/obscures and causes so that both sides know.
Indication PCI conflicts/obscures multiple mode can be arranged, so long as by the embodiment of the invention, in second base station when the base station configuration updating failed message is returned in first base station, can indicate failure cause and be the PCI conflict or obscure and get final product.For example, a specific embodiment is to carry the failure reason value of wireless network layer in eNB config update failed message, as " PCI conflict ", " PCI obscures ", " PCI Conflict (conflict) " or " PCI Confusion (obscuring) ".
Solve in order to carry out subsequent P CI conflict more targetedly, the PCI value and the corresponding ECGI value of conflicting or obscuring can also be returned when the base station configuration updating failed message is returned in first base station in second base station.Certainly, herein PCI value and the corresponding ECGI value returning conflict or obscure also can have multiple mode, so long as by the embodiment of the invention, second base station when the base station configuration updating failed message is returned in first base station, also return conflict or PCI value and the corresponding ECGI value obscured and get final product.For example, a specific embodiment is the PCI value and the corresponding ECGI value of carrying conflict or obscuring in ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE FAILURE message (base station configuration updating failed message).
