The embodiment of the present invention one provides a kind of method of determining terminal measurement frequency in cell handover, and referring to Fig. 1, described method comprises:
11: in the time that terminal moves from Serving cell to Target cell, while obtaining terminal first fit switching condition, first distance of the base station of distance service community evolution (evolved Node Base, eNB); And,
12: the critical distance of obtaining terminal distance service community eNB, described critical distance meets following condition: the location point of terminal distance service community eNB critical distance is critical localisation point, terminal can receive at described critical localisation point the switching command that service cell eNB issues, and cannot receive the switching command that service cell eNB issues in the time that terminal moves from described critical localisation point to Target cell;
13: utilize the difference of described critical distance and the first distance to calculate switching coverage;
14: the measuring frequency of determining terminal according to described switching coverage.
Above-mentioned terminal can be subscriber equipment (User Equipment, UE), the first above-mentioned distance represents the distance of UE distance service center of housing estate (or signal emitting-source), at this, gets the distance of UE distance service community eNB as the first distance.
From above-mentioned, the embodiment of the present invention, by analysing in depth the feature of terminal community switching flow, provides a kind of scheme of definite terminal measuring frequency, has optimized the measuring frequency of terminal.The technical program has taken into full account the impact of network side on terminal measuring frequency in conjunction with actual handoff scenario, based on terminal path loss for network side in switch community, corresponding switching coverage when computing terminal can successful switch on its mobile alignment, utilize this switching coverage to choose a suitable measuring frequency for terminal, reached the technique effect that reduces as much as possible the measuring frequency of terminal in the situation that guaranteeing community handover success rate.
For the technical scheme of various embodiments of the present invention is clearly described, below some the corresponding technology features in the handoff scenario of community are described.Referring to Fig. 2, comprise the steps:
21:eNB sends Radio Resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) line to UE and resets (Connection-Reconfiguration) message.
ENB resets message by above-mentioned RRC line and measures the relevant parameter of controlling to terminal configuration, and these parameters comprise the measurement control parameter of the A3 event of the 3rd layer (L3).
The part relevant parameter of L3 is passed to ground floor (L1) by 22:UE.
Because L1 cannot directly resolve the parameter of L3, so need UE to be passed to L1 after the Parameter analysis of electrochemical of the L3 such as the measurement control parameter of A3 event.
23:UE measures the power of the community detecting in cell switch process, obtains measured value.
Because the complexity of practical radio communication environment, may there is larger fluctuation in the measurement of UEDui community, in this case, may impact normal switching if measured value is not carried out to level and smooth conversion, so need to realize the level and smooth of measured value by filtering.
24:UE filters measured value at L1.
25:UE filters measured value at L3.
A kind of mode of above-mentioned filter operation can be carried out arithmetic average calculating for the measured value before utilizing and the measured value obtaining recently.
26: when measured value is in the time that reporting of regulation all meets report condition in the time interval, UE sends measurement report (MeasurementReport) to eNB, and the measured value after smoothing processing is reported to eNB.
27:eNB initiates the switching of UE to Target cell according to measurement report.
The method of the determining terminal measurement frequency in cell handover below embodiment of the present invention two being provided is specifically described.Referring to Fig. 3, the scene that YiUECong community (CELL) 1 moves to community 2 is that example is described.Fig. 3 is a kind of schematic diagram of simplification, wherein, represent respectively the coverage of community 1 and community 2 with two circles with same radius L, distance between the eNB 1 of community 1 and the eNB2 of community 2 is d, and the lap in Fig. 3 between two circles represents the common region covering between community 1 and community 2.In Fig. 3, represent the movement locus of UE with the dotted line of arrow.Specifically comprise following processing:
11: when UE is when from Serving cell, (as community 1) (as community 2) is mobile to Target cell, while obtaining UE first fit switching condition, the first distance of the base station eNB of distance service community evolution.
In embodiments of the present invention, adopt a kind of method from UE measuring frequency to the measurement side-play amount of UE configuration that utilize path loss and eNB to optimize, at this, above-mentioned switching condition is that the signal power value of Target cell of UE reception and the difference of the signal power value of the Serving cell that UE receives are more than or equal to predetermined threshold, and described predetermined threshold is that service cell eNB is measured deviant O to the A3 of UE configuration
ff.At this moment, step 11 can be specially: in the time that the difference of the signal power value of Target cell of UE reception and the signal power value of the Serving cell of UE reception is more than or equal to described A3 measurement deviant first, UE obtains the first distance of distance service community eNB.
The signal power of the community that UE receives is to be determined from the distance of eNB, the transmitter antenna gain (dBi) of eNB, the factor such as receiving antenna gain and operation wavelength of UE by the transmitted signal power of eNB, UE, for example, in the time that UE is r from the distance of eNB, the received signal power of UE can be expressed as formula:

2represent the receiving antenna gain of UE.
In actual application scenarios, due to the complexity of wireless environment, actual received signal power also may be not exclusively determined from parameters such as distance, antenna gain and the operation wavelengths of base station by above-mentioned UE, for example, local geographical environment has also caused larger impact to signal power value, now, can carry out suitable adjustment according to real situation.
Calculate by following formula (2) and (3) the signal power value of Serving cell and the signal power value of the Target cell that UE receives that UE receives, and judge whether to meet switching condition according to this signal power value.In the time meeting switching condition, calculate the distance of UE distance service community eNB1, because the position of eNB is fixed, so UE can be by known information acquisition the own distance from eNB, for example, UE can pass through global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS) and obtain the positional information of self, thereby calculates above-mentioned the first distance; Or UE, according to the wireless signal of receiving and dispatching between itself and eNB1, utilizes the distance measurement function of configuration on it to obtain above-mentioned the first distance.

fftime, can obtain following formula:
Can obtain:

Wherein, R represents the movement velocity of UE, and in the time that UE does variable motion, R can be the equivalent uniform motion speed of UE.
In the common area of coverage of cell1 and cell2, what on the specific mobile alignment of UE, meet switching condition only has x1 to segment distance so between y.
If UE measures the rational situation that belongs to for n time meeting reporting of switching condition in the time interval, namely measurement curve now can make measured value smoothly can react really again the power contrast of each community, according to effectively switch distance (y-x1) and reasonably measurement frequency n can determine the measuring frequency that draws a relative energy-saving, saving resource and can guarantee handover success rate.

When actual use, can provide a series of available n values, UE, according to the weak value of the concrete channel of measuring of former Serving cell, then selects different n according to the channel circumstance of this concrete scene.
In the time that the measuring frequency of above-mentioned UE is optimized, conventionally suppose that T is constant.But further, this method embodiment can also be optimized to the time interval T that reports of UE configuration eNB according to the technical program.Known by above-mentioned analysis, T must be less than UE and move to from x1 this period of time of y, cannot successfully realize community and switches if T is greater than this time UE.Like this, if under certain scene the frequent handoff failure of UE and while causing call drop, eNB must consider to revise handoff parameter, this wherein just comprises T and O
