Background technology
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication, global mobile communication) be second generation mobile communication system (2G), the data service of this system's support voice and low rate, GSM network a lot of countries commercialization in the whole world at present, network coverage is wider.
TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access: be the Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access access) 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) (3G), with respect to the 2G system, higher service transmission rate can be provided, for the user provides abundanter service, this system has reached commercial level and has been widely used at present.
Due to said GSM and TD-SCDMA network, when the TD-SCDMA networking, that TD-SCDMA network and GSM is network coexisted.In this case, can be in conjunction with the service rate of TD-SCDMA network the advantages such as wide coverage of the advantage such as high and service-enriched and GSM network, for the user provides better Mobile Communication Service.This just requires the network equipment and terminal to be supported in switching between TD-SCDMA and GSM residential quarter, and the terminal that can satisfy this requirement is called TD-SCDMA/GSM bimodulus (DualMode) terminal.
In existing TD-SCDMA network, opening the stage of network, configure the GSM adjacent area of each TD-SCDMA residential quarter according to TD-SCDMA cell information and GSM cell information, specifically obtain TD-SCDMA cell information and GSM cell information according to the network planning of TD-SCDMA network itself and the planning information of GSM, as obtaining the positional information of residential quarter, some wireless parameters of residential quarter are such as coverage condition of frequency and residential quarter etc.
In the network opening stage, when being each TD-SCDMA cell configuration GSM adjacent area according to TD-SCDMA cell information and GSM cell information, because the radio configuration of each residential quarter of diverse location is different, need to carry out respectively the data input of the GSM adjacent area of each TD-SCDMA residential quarter, configuration is complicated.
In the O﹠M stage of network, because geographical environment changes or GSM network optimization meeting causes the GSM neighboring BS information to change, such as revise the parameters such as frequency point information of GSM residential quarter due to dilatation, at this moment upgrade the GSM neighbor cell configuration of TD-SCDMA residential quarter with regard to the knowing this variation of the needs moment for the TD-SCDMA network.At present, the method that TD-SCDMA Network Capture GSM cell information changes realizes by irregular artificial drive test, finds untimelyly, and manually drive test is also more consuming time.
In user terminal UE start access TD-SCDMA network development process, the TD-SCDMA Serving cell sends to UE with GSM neighbor cell configuration situation.After UE is linked into the TD-SCDMA network, may be in constantly in moving process, UE be in cover poor environment in the time, the measurement report that network side reports according to UE can determine that the coverage strength of UE present position does not meet the demands, and sends signaling message notice UE to UE; After UE received signaling message, when determining that according to GSM neighbor cell configuration situation the TD-SCDMA Serving cell does not configure the GSM adjacent area, occurrence cause was the cell update Cell Update process of RLF (Radio Link Failure, Radio Link Failure); When UE determines that according to GSM neighbor cell configuration situation the TD-SCDMA Serving cell disposes the GSM adjacent area, according to the GSM neighboring BS information of configuration, radio frequency is switched to the GSM frequency from the TD-SCDMA frequency GSM adjacent area is measured, metrical information is reported network side; Whether network side indicates UE to GSM adjacent area switching according to metrical information; When network side indication UE switched to the GSM adjacent area, UE switched to the GSM adjacent area from current TD-SCDMA Serving cell; When network side indication UE did not switch to the GSM adjacent area, the UE occurrence cause was the cell update Cell Update message process of RLF.
Change owing to can not in time obtaining the GSM cell information in existing method, therefore GSM adjacent area and the actual GSM cell information of the configuration of TD-SCDMA Serving cell are not inconsistent, perhaps no longer satisfy the GSM neighbor cell configuration of TD-SCDMA Serving cell configuration, perhaps there is new GSM residential quarter to can be used as the GSM adjacent area of TD-SCDMA Serving cell and leaked and adds, affect the Interoperability of TD-SCDMA and GSM network.In the situation that the GSM adjacent area of TD-SCDMA Serving cell is added by leakage, UE can occurrence cause be still the cell updating course of RLF, this cell updating course possibility success also may be failed and cover under poor environment at TD-SCDMA, can cause the UE call drop when failure, affects the user and use.
Embodiment
GSM adjacent area adding method and the equipment of the TD-SCDMA residential quarter that the present invention is proposed below in conjunction with drawings and Examples illustrate in greater detail.
In embodiments of the invention, the GSM adjacent area adding method of a kind of TD-SCDMA residential quarter is provided, as shown in Figure 1, the method comprises:
Step S101 obtains the pilot frequency intensity value of the TD-SCDMA Serving cell of the UE that Radio Link Failure RLF (Radio Link Failure) occurs;
As previously mentioned, in user terminal UE start access TD-SCDMA network development process, the TD-SCDMA Serving cell sends to UE with GSM neighbor cell configuration situation.After UE is linked into the TD-SCDMA network, may be in constantly in moving process, when UE is in the poor environment of covering, think relatively poor as TD-SCDMA network coverage pilot tone less than-90dBm, the measurement report that network side reports according to UE can determine that the coverage strength of UE present position does not meet the demands, and sends signaling message notice UE to UE; After UE received signaling message, when determining that according to GSM neighbor cell configuration situation the TD-SCDMA Serving cell does not configure the GSM adjacent area, occurrence cause was the cell update Cell Update process of RLF (Radio Link Failure, Radio Link Failure); When UE determines that according to GSM neighbor cell configuration situation the TD-SCDMA Serving cell disposes the GSM adjacent area, according to the GSM neighboring BS information of configuration, radio frequency being switched to the GSM frequency from the TD-SCDMA frequency measures the GSM adjacent area, some concrete measurements comprise that pilot frequency intensity is GSM carrier wave RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator, received signal strength indicator) etc., metrical information is reported network side; Whether network side indicates UE to GSM adjacent area switching according to metrical information; When network side indication UE switched to the GSM adjacent area, UE switched to the GSM adjacent area from current TD-SCDMA Serving cell; When network side indication UE did not switch to the GSM adjacent area, the UE occurrence cause was the cell update Cell Update message process of RLF.
As seen, UE be in cover poor environment in the time, do not configuring the GSM adjacent area, or disposing the GSM adjacent area and do not satisfy through the GSM nearby region measurement and switch when requiring, Radio Link Failure RLF occurs in UE, thereby the triggering cell renewal process.
Step S102 according to the comparison of described pilot frequency intensity value and setting threshold, determines that the TD-SCDMA Serving cell leaks when adding the GSM adjacent area, obtains up-to-date TD-SCDMA cell information and GSM cell information;
Pilot signal is the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signal that cell base station is launched non-modulated continuously, it makes UE can obtain the forward direction CDMA channel time limit, the correlation demodulation phase reference is provided, and for each base station provides signal strength signal intensity relatively, UE can determine when and switch, so the pilot frequency intensity value of TD-SCDMA Serving cell represents the coverage strength of this TD-SCDMA Serving cell.after the pilot frequency intensity value of the TD-SCDMA residential quarter of the UE that RLF to occur, in this enforcement, this pilot frequency intensity value and setting threshold (P+ δ) are compared, wherein P represents an absolute strength value, δ represents a surplus, if this value is less than this thresholding, just think that the current residing position TD-SCDMA of UE covers relatively poor, be judged as herein UE and should switch to certain GSM residential quarter, and add the GSM adjacent area because the TD-SCDMA Serving cell leaks, be currently there is no the GSM adjacent area that to switch and do not switch, cause the user in the TD-SCDMA network, RLF to occur and triggering cell renewal Cell Update process.
If in the present embodiment, the pilot frequency intensity value of TD-SCDMA Serving cell is not less than above-mentioned setting threshold, determine that the TD-SCDMA Serving cell does not have leakage to add the GSM adjacent area, but because RLF occurs in other reasons.
When definite TD-SCDMA Serving cell leakage adds the GSM adjacent area, specifically obtain up-to-date TD-SCDMA cell information and GSM cell information by the most recent layout information table that imports TD-SCDMA residential quarter and GSM network cell in the present embodiment.
Step S103 according to described up-to-date TD-SCDMA cell information and GSM cell information, redefines the GSM adjacent area of described TD-SCDMA Serving cell;
Specifically can determine according to some principles of the existing GSM adjacent area of determining the TD-SCDMA residential quarter the GSM adjacent area of above-mentioned TD-SCDMA Serving cell.
Step S104 adds the GSM adjacent area that redefines to described TD-SCDMA Serving cell.
Like this, in UE start next time access TD-SCDMA network development process, the TD-SCDMA Serving cell sends to UE with GSM neighbor cell configuration situation.After UE is linked into the TD-SCDMA network, UE be in cover poor environment in the time, can realize switching to the GSM adjacent area of new configuration, owing to being up-to-date and the actual GSM cell configuration that conforms to, so can successfully realize to the switching of GSM adjacent area.Utilize the present invention can find automatically at network side that the GSM adjacent area of TD-SCDMA residential quarter is leaked and join problem, and the automatic interpolation of carrying out the GSM adjacent area realizes self-optimization function, optimize the TD-SCDMA network quality, improve the interoperability of TD-SCDMA network and GSM.
Because TD-SCDMA manufacturer can't obtain the situation that actual business terminal is in the GSM network, therefore, can only send to the cell update Cell Update message of UTRAN (land radio access web) to obtain some information of UE (such as the residential quarter ID of access by UE, the pilot frequency information of residential quarter, the sign of UE, reason of cell update etc.).Based on this analysis result, can obtain some pilot frequency informations that RLF occurs and whether carry out occuring because adding the GSM adjacent area judgement of RLF, during concrete enforcement, obtain the pilot frequency intensity value of the TD-SCDMA Serving cell of the UE that RLF occurs at step S101, can adopt in following three kinds of modes any:
1) the 6A event report and/or the 5A event report that report before cell update according to the UE that RLF occurs, obtain the pilot frequency intensity value of TD-SCDMA Serving cell, wherein the 6A event report is the measurement report that the transmitted power of UE reports when setting thresholding, it is the measurement report of the additional pilots of the 6A that stipulates in standard, the 5A event report is the measurement report that the bLock error rate BLER (Block Error Ratio) of UE the transmission of data reports during greater than set point, the measurement report of the additional pilots of the 5A that namely stipulates in standard.The pilot frequency intensity value of the residing Serving cell of UE and all adjacent cells before this two classes measurement report all can reporting cell upgrades.Therefore, can obtain to occur the pilot frequency intensity value of TD-SCDMA Serving cell of the UE of RLF from this two classes measurement report.
2) the cell update message that reports in cell updating course according to the UE that RLF occurs is obtained the pilot frequency intensity value of described TD-SCDMA Serving cell.
Obtain from network side the Cell Update message that UE reports cell updating course, therefrom obtain the TD-SCDMA Serving cell No. ID, and know the pilot frequency intensity value of this TD-SCDMA Serving cell, need to prove, the pilot frequency intensity value of TD-SCDMA Serving cell may be to make UE that the TD-SCDMA Serving cell of RLF occur, may be also that UE completes current TD-SCDMA Serving cell of communicating by letter after cell update, but can use the step that pilot frequency intensity value that this pilot value comes as the TD-SCDMA Serving cell of the UE that RLF occurs is carried out the back herein;
3) according to the UE that RLF occurs after the cell update success, receive the measurement report that reports after measuring control information in new residential quarter, obtain the pilot frequency intensity value of described TD-SCDMA Serving cell.
if UE cell update Cell Update success, (can only be at the TD-SCDMA network) can receive the measurement control message again in new residential quarter, if satisfy certain condition, commonly used such as the 1G/2A event, the neighbour pilot frequency intensity of distinguishing of pilot frequency intensity that just refers to current service cell is to a certain degree poor, and keep a period of time, UE will send measurement report to UTRAN so, also can know the pilot frequency intensity value of the peripheral cell of UE this moment, and the TD-SCDMA Serving cell that the UE of RLF occurs is just protected around in the residential quarter, therefore can obtain to occur the pilot frequency intensity value that the TD-SCDMA Serving cell of the UE of RLF comes.
Because triggering cell after UE generation RLF is upgraded, in the present embodiment, network side utilizes the Cell Update message context that sends in cell updating course to obtain the TD-SCDMA Serving cell ID (Identification that the UE of RLF occurs the user, sign), also can utilize simultaneously wherein locating information to obtain the positional information of UE.In step S103, when redefining the GSM adjacent area of TD-SCDMA Serving cell, the GSM residential quarter that sign UE position, UE the TD-SCDMA Serving cell position of RLF occur and exist on every side, the residential quarter ID of above-mentioned situation etc. occurs in record, preferably, determine that the leakage of TD-SCDMA Serving cell adds the GSM adjacent area, specifically comprise: in described pilot frequency intensity value less than setting threshold, and when UE RLF and described pilot frequency intensity value occur reaches set point number less than the number of times of setting threshold in the setting-up time section, determine that described TD-SCDMA Serving cell leaks and add the GSM adjacent area.Namely according to the accumulation judged result of a period of time, be specially certain section time the inside of statistics, the number of times of the above-mentioned situation of certain residential quarter generation is more, determines that the leakage of TD-SCDMA Serving cell adds the GSM adjacent area and need to redefine the GSM adjacent area.
