Adopt that the system time of local zone time that time server mode ensures that UE safeguards and network side is consistent exists the following shortcoming:
Due to the mutual link of newly-increased terminal and network, need to formulate complete terminal and ntp server and carry out mutual flow process;
Ntp server is meeting on the basis of network side time synchronized demand, also can terminaloriented, because terminal number is huge, if great amount of terminals often all needs and ntp server communicates, impact to ntp server is large, if need the UE of communication and network measurement equipment (such as base station) too much in the same time, may cause NTP system crash;
Extensibility a little less than, if the non-ntp server of following adopted provides system time information, terminal and corresponding flow process all need to modify;
Robustness is poor, and the reliability of ntp server can become the bottleneck of whole network reliability, once ntp server because increasing of UE number collapsed, other network equipments also cannot carry out time synchronized.

Embodiment
In order to provide a kind of reliable, easy terminal to obtain system time and to utilize this system time to carry out the scheme of time calibration, the embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of temporal information to send and method for synchronizing time, in this method, network side sends to terminal by descending transmission channel by system time information, and terminal is calibrated terminal local zone time according to this system time information.System time in the present invention refers to the network side time of communication system.
Referring to Fig. 1, the temporal information that the embodiment of the present invention provides sends and method for synchronizing time, specifically comprises the following steps:
Step 10: network side by descending transmission channel to terminal transmitting system temporal information;
Step 11: terminal receives in descending transmission channel the system time information that send base station, and according to this system time information, terminal local zone time is calibrated, and makes to calibrate rear terminal local zone time and synchronizes with system time.
In step 10, network side can pass through high speed descending sharing channel (HS-DSCH) to terminal transmitting system temporal information, and corresponding, in step 11, terminal is in HS-DSCH receiving system temporal information;
Network side can also pass through forward access channel (FACH) to terminal transmitting system temporal information, and corresponding, in step 11, terminal is in FACH receiving system temporal information.
At network side, by HS-DSCH during to terminal transmitting system temporal information, concrete implementation can adopt following two kinds:
The first: at network side, first, radio network controller (RNC) sends Radio Resource control (RRC) signaling that comprises system time information to base station, base station sends the shared control channel (HS-SCCH) of the HS-DSCH that carries time Radio Network Temporary Identifier (T-RNTI) to terminal, then, base station sends to terminal by the RRC signaling of carrying system temporal information by HS-DSCH; This T-RNTI is the predefined RNTI sending for system time.In end side, terminal is listening to after the HS-SCCH that carries this T-RNTI, receives the RRC signaling of carrying system temporal information from HS-DSCH.Here, because the transmission of HS-SCCH and HS-DSCH has fixing sequential relationship, therefore terminal is listening to after HS-SCCH, can determine that according to this sequential relationship base station sends the time of HS-DSCH, thereby receives the RRC signaling of carrying system temporal information from HS-DSCH in this time.
The second, base station, in predefined running time-frequency resource position, sends the signaling message of carrying system temporal information to terminal by HS-DSCH; Accordingly, terminal, in this running time-frequency resource position, receives the signaling message of carrying system temporal information by HS-DSCH.The information of this running time-frequency resource position can be pre-configured in terminal, can be also that base station sends to terminal by broadcast channel by the information of this running time-frequency resource position.
At network side, by FACH during to terminal transmitting system temporal information, specific implementation can be as follows:
At network side, first, RNC sends the system broadcast message of the radio frames mark that comprises transmitting system temporal information to base station, and system time information is carried in RRC signaling, sends this RRC signaling to base station; This system broadcast message is broadcasted in base station in community, then the RRC signaling of carrying system temporal information is identified in corresponding radio frames and sends to terminal by FACH in this radio frames.In end side, terminal receives after the system broadcast message of base station transmission, reads the radio frames mark of carrying in this system broadcast message, and identifies in this radio frames the RRC signaling that receives carrying system temporal information in corresponding radio frames from FACH.
Here, system broadcast message can be carried one or more radio frames marks, terminal receives the RRC signaling of carrying system temporal information in a radio frames of a radio frames mark correspondence from FACH, or in multiple radio frames corresponding to multiple radio frames marks, receives the RRC signaling of carrying system temporal information from FACH.
After terminal receives system broadcast message, and receive the RRC signaling of carrying system temporal information from FACH before, if terminal is in idle condition, terminal need to be set up RRC with network side and is connected, RRC connects after foundation, and terminal connects the RRC signaling that receives carrying system temporal information from FACH by this RRC.
After terminal is calibrated terminal local zone time according to system time information, terminal can also be measured predefined measuring amount, and the measurement result of carrying current time information is reported to network equipment, network equipment utilization is carried the measurement result of temporal information and is carried out network planning adjustment or Optimization Work.
In the present invention, the time granularity of system time can be 1 millisecond.This system time can be specifically the clock time corresponding to subframe of transmitting system temporal information.
Below the present invention is specifically described:
Because the physical signalling of TDD system is launched taking radio frames (radio frame) as unit, each radio frames is made up of 10 subframes, and each subframe continues 1ms.Therefore, TDD system time precision is at least 1ms.Said system time refers to clock time below, comprise Year/Month/Day and time/point/second/millisecond, precision is 1ms.The present invention proposes terminal in two kinds of TDD systems and obtains the method for system time, and this TDD system comprises TD SDMA (TD-SCDMA) and follow-up evolution (TD-HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+) system etc.
Method one: transmitting system temporal information on HS-DSCH.
In TDD high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) and follow-up evolution system thereof, high speed descending sharing channel (HS-DSCH) and shared control channel (HS-SCCH) are introduced, support the downlink signaling information of HS-DSCH to be transmitted by HS-SCCH, the UE of all connected states in network can receive this two channels.This channel can transmit special signaling and data, also can be used for the public information of transfer system.In order to realize the function that transmits system time information on this channel, need to increase a general overall identification, for example, can called after time Radio Network Temporary Identifier (Time-Radio NetworkTemporary Identity, T-RNTI).This T-RNTI be general, be exclusively used in instruction UE receiving system temporal information.
T-RNTI transmits in HS-SCCH channel, and the terminal that is used to indicate all connected states all will receive media access control (MAC) packet of the upper carrying system temporal information transmitting of the HS-DSCH corresponding with HS-SCCH.When the UE in connected state in network is in the time listening to HS-SCCH, if be decoded to T-RNTI from this HS-SCCH, all UE in connected state are according to network configuration in advance, receive HS-DSCH corresponding to HS-SCCH therewith, read the MAC packet of the upper carrying of HS-DSCH, from this MAC packet, obtain system time information, and the local zone time that utilizes this system time information calibration UE to safeguard.
Further can reconfigure a HS-DSCH who takies fixing running time-frequency resource, the fixing running time-frequency resource that base station takies at this HS-DSCH is to terminal transmitting system temporal information.The running time-frequency resource positional information that HS-DSCH takies can be arranged in advance by base station and terminal, can be also that base station sends to UE by broadcast channel by this running time-frequency resource positional information.
Adopt this method, in the UE of all states, comprise the UE in idle (IDLE) state, cell private channel (CELL_DCH) state, cell forward access channel (CELL_FACH) state, cell paging channel (CELL_PCH) state, can be from HS-DSCH receiving system temporal information.
Method two: transmitting system temporal information on FACH.
In TD-SCDMA and follow-up evolution system thereof, FACH is common down channel, and the transmission position of FACH is to send to UE by system broadcast message.In order to transmit system time information on FACH, need to be in system broadcast message, carry the identification information of the radio frames that base station utilizes by FACH transmitting system temporal information, on the FACH of this radio frames channel, do not transmit other signaling or user data, transfer system temporal information, the system time information that certainly different radio frames sends can be different.Here said radio frames identification information can provide with System Frame Number (SFN) form, and in TDD system, the span of SFN is [0,65535].
In order to transmit system time information on FACH, also need to increase RRC signaling message, this message is for carrying system temporal information.
While adopting this method, be identified for the SFN of the radio frames of transmitting system temporal information by radio network controller (RNC), according to the corresponding relation between SFN and actual system time, can determine the system time that this SFN is corresponding, and build comprise this system time RRC signaling message, then send this RRC signaling message to base station, receive after RRC signaling message base station, on the FACH of radio frames corresponding to this SFN of RNC appointment, sends this RRC signaling message to terminal.
UE in network obtains base station by the radio frames identification information of FACH transmitting system temporal information from system broadcast message.If UE is in connected state, and need to obtain system time, UE reads the system time information on FACH in this radio frames position.If UE is in IDLE state, UE will first set up RRC connection, is then connected to this radio frames position by RRC and reads the system time information on FACH, after reading system temporal information, can discharge RRC and connect.
Network side can configure one or more radio frames for transmitting system temporal information, as the radio frames that configures SFN=100 and SFN=30000 is for transmitting system temporal information, base station can be periodically transmitting system temporal information in 100 and 30000 radio frames at SFN.
Adopt this method, the UE in connection status can receive system time information from FACH, comprises the UE in CELL_FACH state, CELL_DCH state and CELL_PCH state in the UE of connection status.
