Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a client in the wireless telecommunication system and the binding schematic diagram of residential quarter C1~Cn.In addition, according to advanced formula Long Term Evolution (LTE-Advanced) system, client can operate in carrier wave integrated (carrier aggregation) and coordinate multicast communication/receiving function (CoordinatedMultipoint Transmission/Reception, COMP) under.In Fig. 1, client links by wireless link L1~Lm and residential quarter C1~Cn, wherein each wireless link among wireless link L1~Lm is corresponding to a component carrier wherein of the assigned at least one component carrier of client (component carrier), and can support evolved general land global radio access network (Evolved UMTS, E-UTRAN) wireless access technology.For instance, client is carried out communication by wireless link L1 and residential quarter C1, and carries out communication by wireless link L2~L4 and residential quarter C2, and by that analogy.Because each wireless link among wireless link L1~Lm is corresponding to one component carrier/residential quarter, therefore, at least one component carrier that client is assigned or residential quarter C1~Cn may be defined as the target (target of interest) of client in this specification.In other words, the client looks closely the residential quarter that links or the component carrier that is assigned to is the target that desire links.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of the embodiment of the invention one communication device 20.Wireless communication apparatus 20 can be the client among Fig. 1, and it comprises a processing unit 200, one storage elements 210, and a communication interface unit 220.Storage element 210 can be arbitrary data memory device, and in order to storing a storage data 212, and storage data 212 includes a procedure code 214, and read and handled by processing unit 200.Storage element 210 can be subscriber identification module (Subscriber Identity Module, SIM), read-only memory (read-only memory, ROM), random access memory (random-accessmemory, RAM), compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROMs), tape (magnetic tapes), hard disk (harddisks), optical data storage device (optical data storage devices) or carrier signal (as the transfer of data of internet).Processing unit 200 is used for according to its result, the state and relevant running of control communication interface unit 220 and communication device 20.Communication interface unit 220 preferably is a wireless transceiver, in order to carry out wireless telecommunications with a network terminal.
Procedure code 214 includes the procedure code of a physical layer, it can carry out wireless issue to a plurality of targets and detect, and (it can be used to that a plurality of targets are carried out radio link failure and detects for Radio Resource Control, RRC) Ceng procedure code to comprise Radio Resource control.Wherein, above-mentioned a plurality of targets can be component carrier or residential quarter.
The embodiment of the invention provides the method for processing about the radio link failure detection of a plurality of component carrier/residential quarters, and can be used to reduce signaling quantity, keep binding usefulness, or elasticity management radio link failure measuring ability.
In order to reduce signaling quantity, first embodiment of the invention provides a flow process 30, and it is used in the client of a wireless telecommunication system, and the radio link failure that is used for handling about component carrier detects.In this embodiment, the target of client is example with the component carrier, but not as the restriction of this embodiment.Flow process 30 can be compiled as procedure code 214, and includes following steps:
Step 300: beginning.
Step 302: a plurality of component carriers are carried out wireless issue detect.
Step 304: when when all component carriers detect wireless issue, open the timer that the beginning is used for detecting the radio link failure of these a plurality of component carriers.
Step 306: finish.
According to flow process 30, when when all component carriers detect wireless issue, client opens the timer that the beginning one shares, with judge component carrier whether take place radio link failure (radio link failure, RLF).In other words, when client all has wireless issue at all component carriers, just can open the beginning timer.
Illustrate the operation that wireless link detects.Client is at first carried out wireless issue to a plurality of component carriers and is detected, and when a physical layer of client when all component carriers detect wireless issue, physical layer can produce a plurality of asynchronous (consecutive out-of-synchronization) continuously and indicate a radio resource control layer to client.When radio resource control layer received this a plurality of continuous asynchronous indication, client opened the timer that the beginning is used for detecting the radio link failure of all component carriers.
When all component carriers all have wireless issue, just open the beginning timer and can reduce signaling quantity between physical layer and the radio resource control layer.Lift an example explanation, please refer to Fig. 1, client has the wireless link L1~Lm corresponding to a plurality of component carriers.When physical layer all detects wireless issue on wireless link L1~Lm-1, physical layer can not produce a plurality of continuous asynchronous indications to radio resource control layer, and when physical layer further detects wireless issue on wireless link Lm, physical layer just can produce continuous asynchronous the indication to radio resource control layer, is used for the timer that radio link failure detects to open the beginning.Therefore, in embodiments of the present invention, can reduce the signaling quantity of continuous asynchronous indication.
Preferably, physical layer need produce the continuous asynchronous indication of a special value, and wherein special value can be the N310 parameter value in the long evolving system.
In addition, open the timer of the radio link failure that the beginning is used for detecting a plurality of component carriers when client after, client can continue to carry out wireless issue and detect before timer expiration.When client and wherein a component carrier obtain when synchronous, the physical layer of client judges that then the wireless issue of this component carrier is repaired, and produces a plurality of continuous synchronization (consecutive in-synchronization) and indicate the radio resource control layer to client.When radio resource control layer received the indication of a plurality of continuous synchronization, then client stopped timer, to avoid radio link failure.
Preferably, physical layer need produce the continuous synchronization indication of a special value, and wherein special value can be the N311 parameter value in the long evolving system.
In addition, when client one default during in, when detecting any signaling on arbitrary component carrier, client thinks that then this component carrier obtains synchronously.For instance, before timer expiration, when detecting signaling as if client on wireless link L1, then the wireless issue of wireless link L1 then is regarded as repairing.Preferably, timer is a timer T310, and the radio resource control information that it can be by network terminal (can broadcast or exclusive mode transfers to client) is set.For instance, in Fig. 1, client links residential quarter C1-Cn, supposes that wherein residential quarter C1 is a main residential quarter, and residential quarter C2-Cn is less important residential quarter, and then the set point of timer can obtain by the system information of residential quarter C1.
Yet if client is not synchronous with arbitrary component carrier, meaning is that wireless issue is not repaired, and when timer expiration, client is judged a plurality of component carrier generation radio link failures.If Access Layer (Access Stratum, when AS) function of keeping secret had startup, can carry out Radio Resource control and link reconstruction algorithm, to rebuild at least one wireless link of a plurality of component carriers by client.Starting state that it should be noted that the Access Layer function of keeping secret represents client data wireless load (data radiobearer) in the use.In addition, if Radio Resource is controlled when linking the reconstruction algorithm success, client then maintains under the Radio Resource control binding pattern, and can use the Radio Resource of the wireless link of reconstruction.Otherwise if Radio Resource is controlled when linking the reconstruction algorithm failure and can't repair wireless link, client then is converted under the Radio Resource control idle mode, and discharges Radio Resource.
Please refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of one embodiment of the invention one communication device 40.Communication device 40 is used for realization flow 30, and includes a detecting unit 400, an administrative unit 402, and a wireless link is set up unit 404.Detecting unit 400 is used for that communication device 40 assigned component carrier CA1~CAm are carried out wireless issue and detects, and when all detecting wireless issue on component carrier CA1~CAm, produces an index signal S.Administrative unit 402 is used for according to index signal S, opens the beginning to be used for the timer of radio link failure of detected components carrier wave CA1~CAm.
Preferably, index signal S comprises a plurality of continuous asynchronous indications.In addition, when one of them wireless issue that is detected was repaired, detecting unit 400 further produced a plurality of continuous synchronization indications, and administrative unit 402 stops timer according to these a plurality of continuous synchronization indications.On the other hand, if the wireless issue that is detected is not repaired always, when timer expiration, administrative unit 402 is judged the radio link failure of component carrier CA1~CAm, and produces a control signal CS and set up unit 404 to wireless link.When the Access Layer function of keeping secret started, wireless link was set up unit 404 according to control signal CS, carried out Radio Resource control and linked reconstruction algorithm.The detail operations of communication device 40 can not repeat them here with reference to above-mentioned explanation.
In order to keep the binding usefulness aspect of client, second embodiment of the invention provides a flow process 50, and it is used in the client of a wireless telecommunication system, and the radio link failure that is used for handling about component carrier detects.In this embodiment, the target of client is example with the component carrier, but not as the restriction of this embodiment.Flow process 50 can be compiled as procedure code 214, and includes following steps:
Step 500: beginning.
Step 502: a plurality of component carriers are carried out wireless issue detect.
Step 504: when the component carrier at a plurality of component carriers detects a wireless issue, open the beginning to be used for the timer of radio link failure of detected components carrier wave.
Step 506: finish.
According to flow process 50, when detecting wireless issue on the component carrier therein, client opens beginning one timer independently, to judge this component carrier whether radio link failure takes place.In other words, client opens beginning one timer respectively to the component carrier with wireless issue.According to Fig. 1, for an example explanation.When the component carrier of corresponding wireless link L1 had wireless issue, client opened beginning one timer, and when the component carrier of corresponding wireless link L2 had wireless issue, client opened another timer of beginning, and by that analogy.
About the operation that wireless link detects, client is at first carried out wireless issue to a plurality of component carriers and is detected.When detecting wireless issue on the component carrier therein, the physical layer of client can produce a plurality of continuous asynchronous radio resource control layers of indicating to client.When radio resource control layer received these continuous asynchronous indications, client opened the timer that the beginning is used for detecting the radio link failure of this component carrier.
Compared to flow process 30, in flow process 50, when arbitrary component carrier had wireless issue, the physical layer of client can produce a plurality of continuous asynchronous indications to radio resource control layer.Lift an example explanation, please refer to Fig. 1, client has the wireless link L1~Lm corresponding to a plurality of component carriers.When physical layer detected wireless issue on wireless link L1, it produced a plurality of continuous asynchronous indications to radio resource control layer, was used for the timer that radio link failure detects to open the beginning.
Preferably, physical layer produces the continuous asynchronous indication of a special value, and wherein special value can be aforementioned N310 parameter value.
In addition, open the timer of the radio link failure that the beginning is used for detecting this component carrier when client after, client can continue to carry out wireless issue and detect before timer expiration.When client therewith component carrier regain when synchronous, the physical layer of client judges that then the wireless issue of this component carrier is repaired, and produces a plurality of continuous synchronization and indicate radio resource control layer to client.When radio resource control layer received the indication of a plurality of continuous synchronization, client then stopped this timer, to avoid radio link failure.
Preferably, physical layer produces the continuous synchronization indication of a special value, and wherein special value can be aforementioned N311 parameter value.As above-mentioned, timer can be timer T310, and can be with reference to above-mentioned about the detail operations principle of timer, and this repeats no more again.
Yet, if client not therewith component carrier reach synchronously, this expression wireless issue is not repaired, in the case, when timer expiration, client is judged this component carrier generation radio link failure, and transmission is used to refer to a radio resource control information of important carrier wave generation radio link failure to network terminal.Component carrier is synchronous therewith as if client, and client can be carried out a RAP, to rebuild a wireless link of this component carrier.In addition, if RAP completes successfully, client can be used the Radio Resource of this wireless link.Otherwise, if random access procedure failure and can't repair wireless link the time, then client maintains under the Radio Resource control binding pattern, but can not use the Radio Resource of this wireless link.In addition, radio link failure all takes place in the component carriers all when client, and the Access Layer function of keeping secret is when having startup, and client opens beginning Radio Resource control and links reconstruction algorithm, to rebuild at least one wireless link.Complete successfully if Radio Resource control links reconstruction algorithm, client is treated can use the Radio Resource of the wireless link of reconstruction under Radio Resource control binding pattern.Otherwise when if Radio Resource control links the reconstruction algorithm failure and can't repair arbitrary wireless link, client then enters Radio Resource control idle mode, and discharges Radio Resource.It should be noted that in the embodiment about flow process 50 client is all failed up to the wireless link of all component carriers and just entered Radio Resource control idle mode, uses and keeps binding usefulness.
In addition, client also can open beginning Radio Resource control and link reconstruction algorithm, to set up the wireless link of component carrier except carrying out RAP.If Radio Resource control links the reconstruction algorithm failure and can't repair wireless link, client can maintain under the Radio Resource control binding pattern, but can't use the Radio Resource of the wireless link of not repairing.
Please refer to Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is the schematic diagram of one embodiment of the invention one communication device 60.Communication device 6 is used for realization flow 50, and includes detecting unit D1~Dm, administrative unit M1~Mm, and a wireless link is set up unit 604.Detecting unit D1~Dm is corresponding administrative unit M1~Mm respectively, and is used for communication device 60 assigned component carrier CB1~CBm are carried out the wireless issue detection.When component carrier CB1~CBm detects wireless issue, detecting unit D1~Dm produces index signal S1~Sm respectively.Administrative unit 602 is used for according to index signal S1~Sm, opens the beginning respectively to be used for the timer of radio link failure of detected components carrier wave CA1~CAm.Administrative unit M1~Mm is respective components carrier wave CB1~CBm respectively, and is used for managing the timer of the radio link failure of detected components carrier wave CB1~CBm, and can open beginning one timer respectively according to index signal S1~Sm.Preferably, each index signal S1~Sm includes a plurality of continuous asynchronous indications.
Detecting unit D1~Dm, the administrative unit M1~Mm of act one example detailed description communication device 60 and wireless link are set up the function mode between the unit 604.Suppose that detecting unit D1 detects a wireless issue at component carrier CB1.Detecting unit D1 can produce index signal S1 to administrative unit M1.Then, administrative unit M1 can be according to index signal S1, opens the beginning to be used for the timer of radio link failure of detected components carrier wave CB1.In addition, when detected wireless issue was repaired on component carrier CB1, detecting unit D1 can produce a plurality of continuous synchronization indications, and administrative unit M1 can stop timer according to a plurality of continuous synchronization indications.On the other hand, when the wireless issue of component carrier is not repaired and during timer expiration, administrative unit M1 then judges at component carrier CB1 and detects radio link failure, and produces a control signal CS1 and set up unit 604 to wireless link.According to control signal CS1, if when having the Access Layer function of keeping secret to be initiated, wireless link is set up unit 604 and can be carried out Radio Resource control and link reconstruction algorithm or RAP, to rebuild the wireless link of component carrier CB1.In like manner, the function of detecting unit D2~Dm and administrative unit M2~Mm is identical with above-mentioned detecting unit D1 and administrative unit M1.The detail operations of communication device 60 can not repeat them here with reference to above-mentioned explanation.
Considering increases under the elasticity aspect of management radio link failure function, and third embodiment of the invention provides a flow process 70, and it is used in the client of a wireless telecommunication system, and the radio link failure that is used for handling about component carrier detects.The target of client is example with the component carrier, but not as the restriction of this embodiment.Flow process 70 can be compiled as procedure code 214, and includes following steps:
Step 700: beginning.
Step 702: a plurality of component carriers are carried out wireless issue detect.
Step 704: when one first component carrier in a plurality of component carriers detects a wireless issue, open the first timer that the beginning is used for detecting the radio link failure of first component carrier.
Step 706: when when the component carrier except first component carrier detects wireless issue, open the second timer that the beginning is used for detecting the radio link failure of the component carrier except first component carrier.
Step 708: finish.
According to flow process 70, when first component carrier and remaining component carrier had wireless issue, first timer and second timer can be initiated respectively, to be used for detecting the radio link failure of first component carrier and remaining component carrier.In other words, when when first component carrier detects wireless issue, client opens and begins to be used for judging whether first component carrier first timer of radio link failure takes place, and when all detecting wireless issue on all the other component carriers, client can open and begin to be used for judging whether all the other component carriers the second timer of radio link failure takes place.
About the operation that wireless link detects, client is at first carried out wireless issue to a plurality of component carriers and is detected.When the physical layer of client when first component carrier detects wireless issue, can produce the continuous asynchronous radio resource control layer of indicating to client of first quantity.In like manner, when physical layer all detects wireless issue on remaining component carrier, can produce continuous asynchronous the indication to radio resource control layer of second quantity.Wherein, first quantity and second quantity are to be set by radio resource control layer.When radio resource control layer receives the continuous asynchronous indication of first quantity, client opens the first timer that the beginning is used for detecting the radio link failure of first component carrier, and when radio resource control layer received the continuous asynchronous indication of second quantity, client opened the second timer that the beginning is used for detecting the radio link failure of remaining component carrier.Preferably, first component carrier is the fundamental component carrier wave, and remaining component carrier is less important component carrier.
In addition, open the timer of the radio link failure that the beginning is used for detecting first component carrier when client after, client can continue to carry out wireless issue and detect before timer expiration.When client and first component carrier obtain when synchronous, the physical layer of client judges that then the wireless issue of first component carrier is repaired, and the continuous synchronization that produces the 3rd quantity is indicated the radio resource control layer to client.When radio resource control layer received the continuous synchronization indication of the 3rd quantity, client then stopped timer, to avoid the radio link failure of first component carrier.In like manner, before second timer expiration, if when client and arbitrary all the other component carriers are synchronous, client judges that the wireless issue of remaining component carrier is repaired, therefore, the physical layer of the client continuous synchronization that can transmit the 4th quantity is indicated to radio resource control layer.When radio resource control layer received the continuous synchronization indication of the 4th quantity, client can stop second timer, to avoid the radio link failure of remaining component carrier.Wherein, above-mentioned the 3rd quantity and the 4th quantity are to set by radio resource control layer.
Yet if the wireless issue of first component carrier is not repaired always, when first timer expired, client was judged the first component carrier generation radio link failure.In the case, when being activated as if the Access Layer function of keeping secret, client can open beginning Radio Resource control and link reconstruction algorithm or RAP, to rebuild the wireless link of first component carrier.If Radio Resource control links reconstruction algorithm or RAP completes successfully, client is treated under Radio Resource control binding pattern, and can be used the Radio Resource of the wireless link of reconstruction.Otherwise if Radio Resource is controlled when linking reconstruction algorithm or random access procedure failure and can't repair the wireless link of first component carrier, then client is treated under Radio Resource control binding pattern, but can't make the Radio Resource of first component carrier.It should be noted that, behind the radio link failure of first component carrier, client can not enter Radio Resource control idle mode, when the wireless link of all the other component carriers is all failed, client just can enter Radio Resource control idle mode, uses and keeps binding usefulness.
