Embodiment
The present invention is based on the LTE framework realize frequently between, in the control method and system of system's measurements, eNB controls UE according to UE flexibly based on the measurement open event of measuring the triggering of open configuration information and carries out inter-frequency measurement and/or system's measurements, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
At first, prior LTE system between frequency, the standard agreement of system's measurements generally comprises following several incident:
A2 incident: measure open event.Be eNB when receiving the common frequency measurement A2 incident that UE reports, issue inter-frequency measurement open command or system's measurements open command, also can issue inter-frequency measurement open command and system's measurements open command simultaneously to UE as the case may be to UE.
At different measurement environment, the A2 incident comprises inter-frequency measurement open event and system's measurements open event.
ENB is the measurement open configuration information of UE configure trigger A2 incident in advance, opens thresholding comprising measuring, and promptly UE detected signal quality in the common frequency measurement process reaches when thresholding is opened in this measurement and triggers corresponding A2 incident, for example, and A2_Thresh
IFFor the inter-frequency measurement that triggers the inter-frequency measurement open event is opened thresholding, A2_Thresh
IRATFor system's measurements of triggering system measurements open event is opened thresholding.Various thresholdings can use RSRP or RSRQ to trigger.
A1 incident: measure close event.Be that eNB closes corresponding measurement when receiving the common frequency measurement A1 incident that UE reports.
At different measurement environment, the A1 incident comprises inter-frequency measurement close event and system's measurements close event.
ENB can be in advance closes configuration information for the measurement of UE configure trigger A1 incident, it is corresponding with the control command that eNB issues that configuration information is closed in this measurement, close thresholding comprising measurement, be that UE detected signal quality in the common frequency measurement process reaches and triggers corresponding A1 incident when thresholding is closed in this measurement, for example, A1_Thresh
IFFor the inter-frequency measurement that triggers the inter-frequency measurement close event is closed thresholding, A1_Thresh
IRATFor system's measurements of triggering system measurements close event is closed thresholding.
UE carries out after inter-frequency measurement and/or the system's measurements, can report the corresponding results incident to eNB, and result event comprises A3 incident and B2 incident.
The A3 incident: the inter-frequency measurement result event, promptly eNB switches between receiving and starting frequently after the A3 incident that UE reports.
The B2 incident: system's measurements result event, promptly eNB receives after the B2 incident that UE reports and switches between start-up system.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention is based on the LTE framework realize frequently between, a kind of flow process of the control method of system's measurements may further comprise the steps:
Step S100:eNB is to UE sending measuring open configuration information, be eNB disposes A2 incident correspondence in advance for UE measurement open configuration information, difference according to measurement environment, this measurement open configuration information comprises measuring opens thresholding, when for example only there is the alien frequencies adjacent area in the measurement environment of UE, measures open configuration information and comprise A2_Thresh
IF, when only there is different system adjacent area in the measurement environment of UE, measures open configuration information and comprise A2_Thresh

After step S101:eNB receives the measurement open event (being common frequency measurement A2 incident) of UE based on the triggering of measurement open configuration information, issue inter-frequency measurement open command and/or system's measurements open command according to factors such as concrete measurement environment, state of affairs, control strategies to UE, and configuration information is closed in corresponding measurement, for example eNB is when UE issues the inter-frequency measurement open command, issues simultaneously to comprise A1_Thresh
IFMeasurement close configuration information, thereby control UE carries out inter-frequency measurement; ENB issues simultaneously and comprises A1_Thresh when UE sending system measurements open command
IRATMeasurement close configuration information, thereby control UE executive system measurements.
Step S102:UE carries out corresponding the measurement, and reporting measurement result event (for example A3 incident or B2 incident), or triggers and measure close event (being the A1 incident).
Switch between switching or system between the measurement result incident that step S103:eNB reports according to UE starts frequently, perhaps the A1 incident of closing the configuration information triggering based on measurement according to UE is closed measurement.At this moment, eNB can perhaps can start switching or close measurement according to the sequencing of UE reporting measurement result event or UE triggering A1 incident according to other control strategies.For example among the step S102, if UE at first reports the A3 incident after carrying out inter-frequency measurement, then eNB switches between starting frequently, if UE at first reports the B2 incident, then switch between the eNB start-up system, if UE at first triggers the A1 incident based on A1_ThreshIF, then eNB closes measurement.

Step S202:eNB issues the inter-frequency measurement open command to UE after receiving the inter-frequency measurement open event that UE triggers, and measurement that should instruction correspondence closes configuration information, and this measurement is closed configuration information and comprised A1_Thresh
IF
Step S203:UE begins to carry out inter-frequency measurement after receiving the inter-frequency measurement open command, and reports the A3 incident or based on A1_Thresh to eNB
IFTrigger the A1 incident.
The A3 incident that step S204:eNB reports according to UE is switched between starting frequently, perhaps closes measurement according to the A1 incident.Preferably, if eNB receives the A3 incident that UE reports earlier, then eNB switches between starting frequently; If eNB receives the A1 incident that UE triggers earlier, then eNB closes inter-frequency measurement, promptly controls UE and stops to measure.

After step S302:eNB received system's measurements open event that UE triggers, to UE sending system measurements open command, and measurement that should instruction correspondence closed configuration information, and this measurement is closed configuration information and comprised A1_Thresh
IRAT, at the GSM adjacent area, also can be with A1_Thresh
IRATBe designated A1_Thresh

After the step S303:UE receiving system measurements open command, begin the executive system measurements, and report the B2 incident, perhaps based on A1_Thresh to eNB
GSMTrigger the A1 incident.
Switch between the B2 incident start-up system that step S304:eNB reports according to UE, perhaps close measurement according to the A1 incident.Preferably, if eNB receives the B2 incident that UE reports earlier, then switch between the eNB start-up system; If eNB receives the A1 incident that UE triggers earlier, then eNB closes corresponding system measurements, promptly controls UE and stops to measure.
Fig. 6 is WCDMA (Wideband CodeDivision Multiple Access: Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)) a kind of measurement environment of adjacent area in the LTE system alien frequencies adjacent area and different system being arranged simultaneously.Wherein, different system WCDMA adjacent area comprises two LTE sub-districts, and the Serving cell of UE is corresponding to carrier frequency 1, and the alien frequencies adjacent area is corresponding to carrier frequency 2, and the control flow at measurement environment shown in Figure 6 among Fig. 7 may further comprise the steps:
After step S400:UE sets up the RRC connection, eNB is to UE sending measuring open configuration information, this measurement open configuration information comprises the default unlatching thresholding of measuring, after making UE open thresholding triggering A2 incident based on this default measurement, eNB issues inter-frequency measurement open command and/or system's measurements open command according to factors such as concrete measurement environment, state of affairs, control strategies to UE again, and configuration information is closed in corresponding measurement.The default numerical value of opening thresholding of measuring can be determined according to concrete needs flexibly by eNB, perhaps a kind of preferred embodiment in, the default measurement opened the desirable A2_Thresh of thresholding
IFAnd A2_Thresh

IF, A2_Thresh
WCDMA).In order further to strengthen configuration flexibility, measure open configuration information and also can comprise at least one default unlatching thresholding of measuring, after making UE trigger the A2 incident respectively, whether control the UE execution by the eNB decision and measure, and carry out which kind of measurement based at least one default measurement unlatching thresholding.
When step S401:UE moves to the Serving cell edge, when perhaps closing on the WCDMA system, along with the decline of Serving cell signal quality, UE is based on the default thresholding triggering A2 incident of opening of measuring, this A2 incident may be the inter-frequency measurement open event, also may be system's measurements open event.
After step S402:eNB receives the A2 incident of UE triggering, can independently determine to issue inter-frequency measurement open command or system's measurements open command to UE, and configuration information is closed in corresponding measurement, if can't determine the priority of goal systems/adjacent area, also can issue inter-frequency measurement open command and system's measurements open command simultaneously and default the measurement closed thresholding, present embodiment adopts the mode that issues two kinds of instructions simultaneously.It is similar that the default mode of measuring thresholding of opening is closed among the method to set up of thresholding and the step S400 in default measurement, for example gets A1_Thresh
IFAnd A1_Thresh
IRATAmong higher value, at the WCDMA system, also desirable MAX (A1_Thresh
IF, A1_Thresh
WCDMA).Close configuration information and can comprise that also at least one default measurement closes thresholding in order further to strengthen configuration flexibility, to measure, UE is closed after thresholding triggers the A1 incident respectively based at least one default measurement, whether close measurement by the eNB decision.
Step S403:UE begins to carry out inter-frequency measurement and system's measurements after receiving inter-frequency measurement open command and system's measurements open command, and reports A3 incident, B2 incident or close thresholding and trigger the A1 incident based on default the measurement to eNB.
The A3 incident that step S404:eNB reports according to UE is switched between starting frequently, perhaps according to switching between B2 incident start-up system, perhaps closes measurement according to the A1 incident.Preferably, if eNB receives the A3 incident that UE reports earlier, then eNB switches between starting frequently; If eNB receives the B2 incident that UE reports earlier, then switch between the eNB start-up system; If eNB receives the A1 incident that UE triggers earlier, then eNB closes corresponding measurement.
