If employing mode two, network side is confirmed each cell ID corresponding district numbering in the measurement cell basic set in the step 501, and the cell number and the cell ID of same sub-district are bound, and sends cell number and cell ID after binding to the terminal.
If index information is a cell number, network side is confirmed each cell ID corresponding district numbering in the CoMP participating set of cells, and cell number as index information, is sent the cell number of confirming to the terminal.
Accordingly, the terminal is according to the cell ID and the cell number of the binding of receiving, confirms the cell number corresponding district sign received, and definite cell ID corresponding district sub-district that is CoMP participating.
In the practical implementation process; Network side can be confirmed the bit number that cell number takies according to the number of cells in the measurement cell basic set; Network side can be notified the terminal with the bit number that cell number takies; Also can confirm the bit number that cell number takies according to the number of cells in the measurement cell basic set by the terminal, concrete network side and terminal confirm that the mode of the bit number that cell number takies explains in mode one, repeat no more.
Such as: comprise 3 sub-districts in the measurement cell basic set, i.e. A sub-district, B sub-district and C sub-district, network side confirms that the bit number that cell number takies is 3bit.Network side confirms that the cell number of A sub-district is 1 (00), and the cell number of C sub-district is 2 (01), and the cell number of B sub-district is 3 (10).
Suppose that the sub-district in the CoMP participating set of cells is A sub-district and B sub-district, network side confirms that each cell ID corresponding district numbering is 00 and 10 in the CoMP participating set of cells.
If index information is a bit; Network side is confirmed the quantity of the bit among the bitmap according to the number of cells in the measurement cell basic set, and with each bit as index information; Size according to the cell number of confirming; Confirm each the bit corresponding district sign among the bitmap, and the value of the bit of fixed each sub-district correspondence, bitmap sent to the terminal.
Accordingly; The terminal is according to the size of the cell number of receiving; Cell ID to receiving sorts; And according to the cell ID after the ordering, each bit corresponding district sign among the bitmap of association that confirms to receive is according to the value of bit and the sub-district of the definite CoMP participating of bit corresponding district sign.
In the practical implementation process; Network side can be confirmed the bit number that bitmap takies according to the number of cells in the measurement cell basic set; Such as the number of cells in the measurement cell basic set is N, and then the bit number that takies of bitmap is N, i.e. total N bit among the bitmap.Network side can be notified the terminal with the bit number that bitmap takies, and also can confirm the bit number that bitmap takies according to the number of cells in the measurement cell basic set by the terminal.
Such as: comprise 3 sub-districts in the measurement cell basic set, i.e. A sub-district, B sub-district and C sub-district, network side confirms that the cell number of A sub-district is 1 (00), and the cell number of C sub-district is 2 (01), and the cell number of B sub-district is 3 (10).
Suppose that the sub-district in the CoMP participating set of cells is A sub-district and B sub-district; The value of the bit among the bitmap is that " 1 " expression bit corresponding district belongs to the CoMP participating set of cells; The value of the bit among the bitmap is that " 0 " expression bit corresponding district does not belong to the CoMP participating set of cells; Network side is confirmed the value of each bit among the bitmap according to the size of the cell number of confirming (promptly from small to large order be 00,01 and 10).
Then bitmap is the corresponding minimum cell number of 101, the 1 numbers (promptly 1), i.e. A sub-district; Cell number in the middle of the 2nd number (promptly 0) is corresponding, i.e. B sub-district; The corresponding maximum cell number of the 3rd number (promptly 1), i.e. B sub-district.
Need to prove, adopt cell number to number in proper order from small to large here, also can adopt descending order to number as required; Concrete which kind of order that adopts can be confirmed through agreement, also can consulted to confirm by network side and terminal.But need to guarantee network side and the same order of terminal employing.
Index information is that the mode of bit is because the bit among the bitmap can be represented the sub-district of all CoMP participatings; The mode of comparing index information and be cell number is more suitable in the joint transmission scene that the number of cells in measurement cell basic set and the CoMP participating set of cells is more or less the same.
The example of takeing above index information in the embodiment of the invention is not limited to all is suitable for the embodiment of the invention as long as satisfy the index information of following condition:
1, the bit number that takies less than cell ID of the bit number that takies of index information;
2, all corresponding index information in each sub-district in the measurement cell basic set, and can let the terminal confirm corresponding district according to index information.
As shown in Figure 6, the method for the sub-district of second kind of definite CoMP participating of the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
Step 601, terminal receive the cell ID from each sub-district in the measurement cell basic set of network side.
The index information of each sub-district that step 602, terminal basis are received, the sub-district of definite CoMP participating from the measurement cell basic set.
Wherein, the bit number that takies less than the cell ID of each sub-district of the bit number that takies of the index information of each sub-district.
In the practical implementation process; Can stipulate which kind of advice method network side adopts by agreement; Also can whether bind the judgement network side and adopt which kind of advice method according to the cell ID of receiving with cell number; If such as receiving the cell ID of binding with cell number, then confirm to adopt the explicit notification mode; Otherwise, confirm to adopt the implicit expression advice method.
Enumerating dual mode below respectively is elaborated.
Mode one, implicit expression advice method.
If index information is a cell number, the cell number corresponding district sign received according to the order that receives cell ID, is confirmed in the terminal after the cell number of receiving from network side, and definite cell ID corresponding district sub-district that is CoMP participating.
Wherein, cell number is that network side is confirmed according to the order of sending cell ID.
Comprise 3 sub-districts in the measurement cell basic set of receiving such as the terminal, i.e. A sub-district, B sub-district and C sub-district confirm that the bit number that each cell number takies is ceil (log2 (3))=2bit.
The order of supposing reception cell ID in terminal in the step 601 is the cell ID that receives the A sub-district earlier; Receive the cell ID of B sub-district again; Receive the cell ID of C sub-district at last, so the cell number of 3 sub-districts can be confirmed in the terminal in the step 602: (promptly 10) numbered and be 3 to corresponding district numbering in A sub-district is 1 (promptly 00), B sub-district corresponding district numbering are 2 (promptly 01) and C sub-district corresponding district.
Suppose that the cell number that receive at the terminal is 00 and 01, then the terminal confirms that A sub-district and B sub-district are the sub-districts of CoMP participating.
If index information is a bit; The terminal is behind the bitmap that receives from network side; According to the order that receives cell ID, each the bit corresponding district sign among the bitmap that confirms to receive is according to the value of bit and the sub-district of the definite CoMP participating of bit corresponding district sign.
