Embodiment
In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, describe the present invention below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Method provided by the invention mainly comprises: target eNB is determined when Target cell is admitted in many working frequency points of UE one, for UE reserves the carrier resource that the QoS (QoS) satisfy this UE requires, send the switching command that comprises the frequency point information that Target cell admits to UE by source eNB; This UE is according to the frequency point information in the switching command, and the frequency that utilizes Target cell to admit accesses Target cell; Target eNB is behind UE access Target cell, in the transfer of data of this UE of carrier resource scheduling that reserves for this UE.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment said method is described in detail.The method flow diagram that Fig. 2 provides for the embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 2, the method can may further comprise the steps:
Step 201: source eNB sends handover request message to target eNB, comprises the working frequency points information that satisfies switching condition of Target Cell Identifier and UE in the handover request message.
Source eNB can judge whether to satisfy switching condition according to the measurement message that UE reports, for example, can judge that whether difference between the signal quality of the signal quality of Target cell and cell-of-origin is greater than default switching threshold, when satisfying switching condition, source eNB can send handover request message to the target eNB under the Target cell that satisfies switching condition, and this partial content is prior art.
In the present invention, may have one or more working frequency points that satisfy switching condition in the working frequency points of UE, the working frequency points information that one of them of UE can be satisfied switching condition in the handover request message that source eNB sends to target eNB sends to target eNB.
Step 202: target eNB is according to the handover request message that receives, the frequency point information that comprises in the handover request message is carried out acceptance judging, namely judge the access whether handoff request message contains in the Target cell frequency can admit UE, if, continue execution in step 203, otherwise send the failed notice of judgement to source eNB, go to step 201, source eNB comprises the information of a working frequency points in other working frequency points of UE in handover request message.
The acceptance judging that relates in this step can for: judge whether carrier load corresponding to this working frequency points in the Target cell can satisfy the access requirement of UE, if so, then can admit the access of UE, otherwise the access that can not admit UE.Also can adopt other acceptance judging mode of the prior art.
The mode of in above-mentioned steps 201 and step 203, describing, if it is single-carrier cell that source eNB determines to satisfy the Target cell of switching condition, then can send the handover request message that comprises Target Cell Identifier to target eNB, needn't comprise the working frequency points information that satisfies switching condition of UE in this handover request message.Because Target cell is single-carrier cell, therefore, after target eNB receives handover request message, judge the access that the frequency of this Target cell can be admitted UE, if so, determine that Target cell admits in many working frequency points of UE, continue execution in step 203; Otherwise, the access that preload can not have been admitted UE of working as of Target cell is described, therefore, do not allow handoff response to source eNB transmission, finish this switching flow.
Step 203: target eNB satisfies the carrier resource of its QoS of survice requirement according to the QoS of survice requirement of this UE for the UE reservation in Target cell, and return the permission switching response message to source eNB.
In this step, target eNB can be from such as the QoS of survice requirement of obtaining UE the upper layer network equipment such as Mobility Management Entity (MME), for example, bandwidth information, rate information or delay requirement etc. that the employed business of UE is required are reserved the carrier resource that satisfies its QoS of survice requirement for UE.
Wherein, the carrier resource of reservation can be multi-carrier resource, also can be the single carrier resource.Wherein, multi-carrier resource can be the multi-carrier resource that the interior multi-carrier resource of a multi-carrier district or a plurality of single-carrier cell aggregate into; The single carrier resource can be the interior single carrier resource of a multi-carrier district or the single carrier resource of single-carrier cell.
The specifically multi-carrier resource of reserving or single carrier resource except with the QoS of survice of UE require relevant, and relevant with the carrier bandwidths of target eNB small area.For example, if UE adopts 2 carrier aggregation in the cell-of-origin, the bandwidth of each carrier wave is 10M, and the bandwidth of each carrier wave of target eNB small area then adopts single carrier transmission to get final product when being 20M, namely reserves 1 carrier resource; When the bandwidth of each carrier wave of target eNB small area still is 10M, then still need to adopt 2 carrier aggregation in target eNB, namely reserve 2 carrier resources.
More preferably, source eNB can also comprise the CA information of UE in the cell-of-origin in the handover request message that step 201 sends, use when reserving carrier resource for target eNB.Wherein, CA information can be the carrier frequency used in the cell-of-origin of UE, bandwidth etc., and target eNB can under the prerequisite that the QoS of survice that satisfies UE requires, be selected the carrier resource that approaches with the CA information of UE in the cell-of-origin.Like this can be so that the change operating frequency that UE tries one's best little in switching be afterwards also saved energy for UE thereby improve switching efficiency.
Also has a kind of mode, because UE can be to source eNB report measurement information, the signal quality situation that comprises each carrier wave in the target eNB in this metrical information, therefore, the metrical information that source eNB can report according to UE, determine to satisfy in the target eNB carrier wave of demand on signal quality, the carrier information that satisfies demand on signal quality is carried in the handover request message.Target eNB can satisfy in the carrier information of demand on signal quality for UE reserves the carrier resource that the QoS of survice that satisfies this UE requires at these, thereby improves service quality.Wherein, the carrier information that satisfies demand on signal quality can be the carrier identification that satisfies demand on signal quality; Or satisfy the carrier identification of demand on signal quality and the signal quality information of these carrier waves, so that target eNB can preferentially be selected the high carrier wave of signal quality according to the signal quality of these carrier waves.
If target eNB can be reserved the carrier resource that the QoS of survice satisfy this multi-carrier terminal requires for multi-carrier terminal, then return the permission switching response message to source eNB, otherwise, can return to source eNB and not allow switching response message.
Step 204: source eNB sends switching command to UE, comprises the frequency point information that Target cell is admitted in this switching command.
Comprise switching command in the switching response message that target eNB is returned to source eNB, carry the frequency point information that Target cell is admitted in this switching command, source eNB is transmitted to UE with this switching command.
Step 205:UE is according to the frequency point information in the switching command, thus with frequency that Target cell the is admitted access Target cell that connects.
UE can only be that signaling connects with being connected of frequency foundation that Target cell is admitted, and also can be that the signaling connection is connected with data.
Target eNB is when doing acceptance judging for this frequency, can determine also whether this frequency only is used for signaling and connects, perhaps being used for simultaneously the signaling connection is connected with data, and in allowing switching response message, indicate, source eNB is according to the indication that allows in the switching response message, also indicate this frequency to be used for signaling in switching command and connect, perhaps be used for the signaling connection and be connected with data, UE carries out according to the indication in the switching command.
Behind the step 206:UE access Target cell, target eNB is carried out transfer of data at the carrier resource scheduling UE that reserves.
This process can be controlled by Radio Resource (RRC) and connect the reprovision process implementation, for example, can connect at RRC and notify UE to carry out transfer of data at the carrier resource of reserving in the reallocation message.
If the carrier resource of reserving is multi-carrier resource, then UE proceeds the CA transmission at the multi-carrier resource of reserving, thereby realizes the switching from the multicarrier to the multicarrier.
That is to say that in the handoff procedure of this embodiment, UE can at first set up signaling with a carrier wave of Target cell and be connected, and sets up data by the scheduling of target eNB with a plurality of carrier waves again and is connected; Also can at first set up simultaneously data with a carrier wave of Target cell and be connected with signaling, set up data by the scheduling of target eNB with a plurality of carrier waves again and be connected.
Need to prove, in switching command, can also comprise target eNB and be the carrier resource information that UE reserves, UE behind the access Target cell, can be directly according to switching command at the carrier resource transmitting data for the UE reservation.Perhaps, target eNB will send to UE for the carrier resource information that UE reserves again in the process of scheduling UE.
More than be the detailed description that method provided by the present invention is carried out, the below is described in detail system provided by the present invention.The system construction drawing that Fig. 3 provides for the embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 3, this system can comprise: target eNB 301, source eNB302 and UE303.
Target eNB 301 is used for determining when of many working frequency points of Target cell admittance UE303, for UE303 reserves the carrier resource that the QoS of survice satisfy this UE303 requires, send the switching command that comprises the frequency point information that Target cell admits to UE303 by source eNB302; Behind UE303 access Target cell, in the transfer of data of the carrier resource scheduling UE303 that reserves for UE303.
UE303 is used for the frequency point information according to the switching command that receives, the frequency access Target cell that utilizes Target cell to admit.
Further, source eNB after determining to satisfy switching condition and the reciprocal process between the target eNB can adopt following dual mode:
First kind of way: source eNB302 is used for sending a handover request message that satisfies the working frequency points information of switching condition that comprises Target Cell Identifier and UE303 to target eNB 301; After receiving the failed notice of judgement, comprise the handover request message that Target Cell Identifier and UE303 satisfy an one working frequency points information of switching condition to target eNB 301 transmissions;
Target eNB 301, after also being used for receiving handover request message, judge the access whether working frequency points that comprises in the handover request message in the Target cell can admit UE303, if so, then carry out by source eNB302 and send the switching command comprise the frequency point information that Target cell admits to UE303; Otherwise, send the failed notice of judgement to source eNB302.
The second way: source eNB302 can also be used for sending the handover request message that comprises Target Cell Identifier to target eNB 301 when Target cell is single-carrier cell; After receiving the response that does not allow to switch, finish current switching flow.
After target eNB 301 receives this handover request message, judge the access whether Target cell can admit UE303, if so, determine in many working frequency points of Target cell admittance UE303; Otherwise send to source eNB302 and not allow the response of switching.
In said process, target eNB 301 is sending to UE303 in the switching command process by source eNB302, can return the switching command that comprises the frequency point information that Target cell admits to source eNB302, and source eNB302 transmits this switching command to UE303.
Source eNB302 can also be used for carrying the multi-carrier polymerizing information of UE303 in the cell-of-origin in handover request message.
Target eNB 301 is implemented as the carrier resource that UE303 reserves the quality QoS requirement of satisfying this UE303 according to the multi-carrier polymerizing information of UE303 in the cell-of-origin.
Perhaps, source eNB302 can also be used for the metrical information that reports according to UE303, determine to satisfy in the target eNB 301 carrier wave of demand on signal quality, and the carrier information that will satisfy demand on signal quality is carried in the handover request message.
Target eNB 301 is reserved the carrier resource that the QoS of survice satisfy this UE303 requires for UE303 in satisfying the carrier wave of demand on signal quality.
Particularly, UE303 sets up signaling with the frequency that Target cell is admitted and is connected, and perhaps set up simultaneously the signaling connection and be connected with data, thus the access Target cell.
Require and the carrier bandwidths situation of Target cell according to the concrete QoS of survice of UE303, target eNB 301 can be the multi-carrier resource in the multi-carrier district or single carrier resource for the carrier resource of UE303 reservation; The perhaps multi-carrier resource that aggregates into of a plurality of single-carrier cell, perhaps the single carrier resource of a single-carrier cell.
Can be found out by above description, in the method and system provided by the present invention, target eNB is when determining that Target cell is admitted in many working frequency points of UE one, for UE reserves the carrier resource that the QoS of survice satisfy this UE requires, send the switching command that comprises the frequency point information that Target cell admits to UE by source eNB; UE is according to the frequency point information in the switching command, and after the frequency that utilizes Target cell to admit accessed Target cell, target eNB was in the transfer of data of the carrier resource scheduling UE that reserves for UE.Thereby the switching of UE from the cell-of-origin to the Target cell under the realization multicarrier system, if target eNB is UE reserve to satisfy the carrier resource that QoS of survice requires be multi-carrier resource, then UE can realize the switching from the multicarrier to the multicarrier.
In addition, method and system provided by the invention has been reused interface in Long Term Evolution (LTE) system and the handoff procedure of core net to greatest extent, has also strengthened user's experience when having satisfied QoS of survice.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is in order to limit the present invention, within the spirit and principles in the present invention not all, any modification of making, is equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
