Background technology
In existing technical scheme, MDT (Minimization Drive Test, minimum road test mechanism) measures and to be divided into two types of Immediate MDT (instant type minimum road test mechanism) and Logged MDT (log type minimum road test mechanism):
Immediate MDT, terminal equipment is measured and is reported at MDT that connected state carried out, multiplexing RRM (Radio Resource Management, RRM) form of Ce Lianging, in case satisfy report condition, terminal equipment carries out reporting of measurement result to eNB (evolved Node B, evolved base station)/RNC (Radio Network Controller, radio network controller) immediately.
Logged MDT, terminal equipment is measured at the MDT that Idle state carries out, and reports at follow-up connected state.In case satisfied the trigger condition of configuration, will obtain measurement result and store (Log), report eNB/RNC on follow-up suitable opportunity.
The Log configuration of MDT is handed down to terminal equipment by network at connected state, does not expand based on existing RRM measurement, but has defined a kind of new collocation method.
Terminal equipment side: when terminal equipment discharges RRC (Radio Resource Control, radio resource control) connection, the Log configuration of receiving can not discharged simultaneously, but continuation keeps and the Log of unlatching Idle state measures and the measurement result collection.
Network side: for Logged MDT, network can not keep MDT context (context) information, more MDT context can not carried out the transmission of network side, and when RRC connected release, the MDT context of network side preservation also discharged simultaneously.
Under the situation of Logged MDT, when terminal equipment stores effective MDT Log information, if this terminal equipment enters connected state or moves to new sub-district, terminal equipment will can report network to Log by the RRC signaling with indication (Log available) message.
With LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system is an example, the RRC connection is set up process as shown in Figure 1, after successfully having set up the RRC connection, terminal equipment will send RRCConnectionSetupComplete (RRC connects foundation to be finished) message to network, at this moment, whether carried terminal equipment preserves the indication information of available MDT Log information in this message, after (being that aforesaid Log can use Indication message) network is received this indication, can the MDT Log information of preserving be reported the subsequent request terminal equipment.
Equally, the sub-district of LTE system switch and the sub-district process of reconstruction in, terminal equipment can use Indication message will for the base station transmission Log of the sub-district of the Target cell that switches/be reconstructed into, and notify new sub-district whether to preserve available MDT Log information in terminal equipment.
At UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, universal mobile telecommunications system) system, if SRNS (Serving Radio Network Subsystem has taken place, SRNS Serving Radio Network Subsystem) relocation (change) process, terminal equipment also can send to Target cell with Indication message with Log.
When terminal equipment moves to a new sub-district, may receive new MDT and measure configuration, terminal equipment will delete the original MDT that preserves and measure and dispose and the current MDTLog information that reports of not having enough time so.
But when terminal equipment moves to a new sub-district, measure configuration, then preserve original configuration and MDT Log result if receive new MDT.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there is following problem at least in prior art:
When in terminal equipment, preserving available MDT Log information, though can in setting up process/handoff procedure/process of reconstruction/cell updating course, inform network by RRC message, trigger network is to the MDT Log information acquisition request of terminal equipment, but for handoff procedure/process of reconstruction of having changed the sub-district/cell updating course, Target cell probably belongs to different RAT (Radio Access Type with former sub-district, wireless access type), and in existing processing procedure, terminal equipment still sends identical Log for Target cell can use Indication message, so, stride under the situation that RAT reports in the network side support, the MDT Log information that objective network may can receiving terminal apparatus report, but do not support to stride under the situation that RAT reports at network side, even terminal equipment reports MDT Log information, objective network is the normal MDT Log information that reports of receiving terminal apparatus also, thereby caused the waste of interface-free resources, moreover, after terminal equipment has reported MDT Log information, can delete corresponding MDT Log information, this also can cause losing of MDT Log information.
Embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, the schematic flow sheet of the feedback method of a kind of MDT Log information that provides for the embodiment of the invention, this method specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step S201,, terminal equipment is connected to Target cell when switching to connection status by idle condition, or switch to connection status by the RLF state and be connected to Target cell, or when in connection status, current home cell being changed to Target cell, whether the terminal equipment affirmation allows base station feedback and the corresponding MDT Log of a plurality of wireless access type information to Target cell, specifies as follows:
Situation one,, terminal equipment allows the terminal equipment feedback and the message of the configuration information of the corresponding MDT Log of wireless access type information arbitrarily when receiving to carry, or this terminal equipment is when being set to allow feedback with the corresponding MDT Log of wireless access type information arbitrarily, and terminal equipment is confirmed to allow to the base station feedback of Target cell and the corresponding MDT Log of wireless access type information arbitrarily.
In such cases, terminal equipment is judged the current MDT Log information that whether stores, if having, terminal equipment judges whether MDT Log information is effective, if all or part of information in the MDT Log information is effective, terminal equipment sends Log to the base station of Target cell can use Indication message.
Further, when the Log that sends when the base station that receives Target cell reported request, terminal equipment reported the base station with all effective MDT Log information of current storage.
In concrete application scenarios, terminal equipment reports MDT Log information after the base station, the MDT Log information that the terminal equipment deletion has reported.
Situation two,, terminal equipment carries the message that allows terminal equipment feedback and the configuration information of the corresponding MDT Log of a plurality of wireless access types information of appointment when receiving, or this terminal equipment is when being set to allow to feed back the corresponding MDT Log of a plurality of wireless access types information with appointment, and terminal equipment is confirmed to allow to the base station feedback of Target cell and the corresponding MDT Log of a plurality of wireless access types information of appointment.
In such cases, terminal equipment is judged the current MDT Log information that whether stores, if have, terminal equipment judges whether MDT Log information is effective, if all or part of information in the MDT Log information is effective, terminal equipment judges whether the one or more wireless access types in a plurality of wireless access types of appointment are corresponding with the pairing wireless access type of effective MDT Log information, if judged result is for being, terminal equipment sends Log to the base station of Target cell can use Indication message, if judged result is for denying, terminal equipment abandons sending Log to the base station of Target cell can use Indication message, and continues to preserve MDT Log information.
Further, when the Log that sends when the base station that receives Target cell reported request, terminal equipment reported the base station with the corresponding effective MDT Log information of one or more wireless access types in current storage and a plurality of wireless access types appointment.
In concrete application scenarios, terminal equipment reports MDT Log information after the base station, the MDT Log information that the terminal equipment deletion has reported.
Situation three,, terminal equipment carries the message that only allows terminal equipment feedback and the configuration information of the corresponding MDT Log of current wireless access style information when receiving, or this terminal equipment is when only being set to allow feedback with the corresponding MDT Log of current wireless access style information, the terminal equipment affirmation does not allow base station feedback and the corresponding MDT Log of a plurality of wireless access type information to Target cell, only allows to the base station feedback of Target cell and the corresponding MDT Log of the wireless access type information of Target cell.
In such cases, execution in step S102.
It is to be noted; three kinds of above-mentioned situations all can be set to the default treatment strategy of terminal equipment; thereby; if terminal equipment does not receive any when whether allowing to stride indication that wireless access type feeds back or configuration; then adopt the default treatment strategy to handle; and specifically adopt which kind of situation as the default treatment strategy, and then can adjust according to actual needs, such variation does not influence protection scope of the present invention.
Step S202, terminal equipment judge whether the wireless access type of Target cell is the pairing wireless access type of MDT Log information of current storage.
If judged result is for being execution in step S203;
If judged result is for denying execution in step S204.
Concrete deterministic process comprises:
Terminal equipment is judged the current MDT Log information that whether stores, if having, terminal equipment judges whether MDTLog information is effective, if current do not have store M DT Log information, the pairing MDT Log of terminal equipment opening entry Target cell information.
If all or part of information in the MDT Log information is effective, terminal equipment judges whether the wireless access type of Target cell is the pairing wireless access type of effective MDT Log information, wherein, if all or part of information in the MDT Log information is invalid, terminal equipment continues to preserve this invalid MDTLog information.
Step S203, terminal equipment send Log to the base station of Target cell and can use Indication message.
After this step is finished, also comprise:
When the Log that sends when the base station that receives Target cell reports request, terminal equipment will report the base station with the corresponding MDT Log of the wireless access type of Target cell information.
In concrete application scenarios, terminal equipment will report after the base station with the corresponding MDT Log of the wireless access type of Target cell information, the MDT Log information that the terminal equipment deletion has reported.
Step S204, terminal equipment abandon sending Log to the base station of Target cell can use Indication message, and continues to preserve MDT Log information.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
By using the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention proposed, terminal equipment is according to the pairing RAT of MDT Log information that self preserves, reasonably select whether send Log and can use Indication message to network, thereby, avoid since at current RAT not at once, carry out MDT Log feedback information, and cause the situation of MDT Log information dropout effectively, on the other hand, because terminal equipment can determine whether according to the RAT situation of reality to report Log can use Indication message to network side, can avoid reporting of unnecessary MDT Log information, effectively save the interface-free resources of system.
Below, the application scenarios in conjunction with concrete is elaborated to the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention proposed.
For Logged MDT, reporting by network side (being the base station of aforesaid Target cell) of MDT Log information controlled, but before network side notice terminal equipment reports, the indication notice that terminal equipment can use for Log of network side, promptly aforesaid Log can use Indication message.
This Log can generally set up in process/cell switch process/sub-district process of reconstruction/cell updating course in connection with Indication message and send, and its schematic flow sheet in general application scenarios specifies as follows as shown in Figure 3:
Situation one, terminal equipment enter connection status from idle condition, thereby are connected in the Target cell.
Situation two, terminal equipment carry out the sub-district under the RLF state rebuilds, thereby the connection status of returning to is connected in the Target cell.
Situation three, terminal equipment are in connection status, but cell update or switching have taken place, and make current home cell become Target cell.
For above three kinds of situations, whether terminal equipment informing network side MDT Log is available, and concrete mode is to report Log can use Indication message to network side, for example, in concrete application scenarios, whether terminal equipment can indicate MDT Log available in up RRC signaling.
Network side can be after receiving that Log can be with Indication message, and requesting terminal equipment reports the concrete measurement result of available MDTLog.
But, after the mobility of interdepartmental system (striding RAT) takes place, whether allow terminal equipment to report the MDT Log information that produces in the old system in new system, also Shang Weiyou determines conclusion in existing technical scheme.
If network side not support terminal equipment is striden on the RAT and is given the correct time, terminal equipment has reported Log can use Indication message, so, network side may report corresponding measurement result by requesting terminal equipment, i.e. MDT Log information, like this, terminal equipment just might report new system with the MDT Log information in the old system, and in fact new system does not need, and also can't handle these MDT Log information with regard to system, therefore, unnecessary like this upload procedure will cause the waste of interface-free resources.Moreover, terminal equipment is after having reported MDT Log information, also can delete the corresponding MDT Log information that has reported, if and the MDT Log information that reports is the MDT Log information of old system, so, these MDT Log information are just deleted under the situation that does not report corresponding old system, like this, just can cause losing of MDT Log information.
The embodiment of the invention has proposed the corresponding techniques scheme in order to solve the above problems, and terminal equipment is set up in process/cell switch process/sub-district process of reconstruction/cell updating course in connection, determines at first whether terminal equipment allows to stride RAT and report.
If do not allow, the RAT that then judges the sub-district that will connect the whether RAT with the MDT Log information of current storage is identical.If identical, and the MDT Log information of record is effective, then sends Log to network side and can use Indication message, and indication network side MDT Log information can be used.Otherwise, then do not send Log and can use Indication message to network side, only preserve MDT Log information.
When network side requesting terminal equipment carries out giving the correct time on the MDT Log information, terminal equipment only reports the corresponding MDT Log of the RAT of RAT and network side information.
Otherwise, if allowing terminal equipment to stride RAT, network side reports, so, can also be further divided into following two kinds of situations:
Situation one, network side permission terminal equipment are striden any RAT and are reported, and so, terminal equipment just can send Log to network side and can use Indication message as long as judge the current effective MDT Log information of having stored, and indication network side MDT Log information can be used.
When network side requesting terminal equipment carries out giving the correct time on the MDT Log information, terminal equipment all reports all effective MDT Log information of current storage.
After network side receives these MDT Log information; can further carry out RAT identification; MDTLog information is issued the sub-district of corresponding RAT; concrete send mode can be a high-level signaling; perhaps other can transmit the communication mode of information at the equipment room of network side, and the variation of the concrete transmission means of network side can't influence protection scope of the present invention.
Situation two, the RAT that network side allows terminal equipment to stride appointment reports, so, which RAT network side at first should indicating terminal equipment can stride reports, concrete indicating mode can be to send the message that comprises a plurality of RAT indication informations, the notice terminal equipment can be striden the pairing RAT of this indication information and be reported, and terminal equipment is after receiving such indication information, whether the RAT of effective MDT Log information that further judges current storage is identical with the pairing RAT of this indication information, if the one or more RAT among the indicated a plurality of RAT of the RAT of effective MDT Log information of current storage and this indication information are identical, then terminal equipment sends Log to network side and can use Indication message, and indication network side MDT Log information can be used.
When network side requesting terminal equipment carries out giving the correct time on the MDT Log information, terminal equipment only all reports the effective MDT Log information of the current storage of part, and the one or more RAT among the indicated a plurality of RAT of the RAT of these MDT Log information and this indication information are identical.
After network side receives these MDT Log information; can further carry out RAT identification; MDTLog information is issued the sub-district of corresponding RAT; concrete send mode can be a high-level signaling; perhaps other can transmit the communication mode of information at the equipment room of network side, and the variation of the concrete transmission means of network side can't influence protection scope of the present invention.
Below, be example with concrete application scenarios, the concrete use of embodiment of the invention institute extracting method is described.
For the purpose of simplifying the description, all not allowing terminal equipment to stride the situation that RAT reports with network side in the follow-up explanation is that example describes, and allows to stride situation that RAT reports with reference to above-mentioned explanation, no longer is repeated in this description.
As shown in Figure 4, be the schematic flow sheet of the feedback method of the MDT Log information under a kind of concrete application scenarios that the embodiment of the invention proposed.
In this scene, terminal equipment has obtained MDT Log information and has not reported to old system under old system, then, this terminal equipment is connected in other the new system, and do not generate the MDT Log information under the new system, wherein, the RAT that old system is corresponding different respectively with new system.
With LTE system and UMTS system is example, if terminal equipment has obtained some MDT Log information under UMTS system (old system), and do not have enough time to report the UMTS system, then, terminal equipment has moved under the LTE system (new system), owing to do not obtain the MDT Log information under the LTE system in the current terminal equipment, so, at this moment terminal equipment does not send Log and can use Indication message in the LTE system, promptly informing network side MDT Log information can not used, and just preserves MDT Log information.
As shown in Figure 5, be the schematic flow sheet of the feedback method of the MDT Log information under a kind of concrete application scenarios that the embodiment of the invention proposed.
In this scene, terminal equipment does not obtain MDT Log information under old system, and then, this terminal equipment is connected in other the new system, and has generated the MDT Log information under the new system.
Be example with LTE system and UMTS system equally, if terminal equipment does not obtain MDT Log information under UMTS system (old system), therefore, terminal equipment in the UMTS system mutual connection set up and message such as finish and can not carry Log and can use Indication message, but, terminal equipment remains with the MDT Log information under the LTE system in advance, therefore, when terminal equipment moves to LTE system (new system) following time, terminal equipment sends Log in the LTE system can use Indication message, and informing network side MDT Log information can be used.
As shown in Figure 6, be the schematic flow sheet of the feedback method of the MDT Log information under a kind of concrete application scenarios that the embodiment of the invention proposed.
In this scene, if under certain RAT, network side has carried out the request that reports of MDT Log information to terminal equipment, and then terminal equipment only reports the MDT Log information of this RAT.
Be example with LTE system and UMTS system equally, if the terminal equipment under UMTS system (old system) had both been preserved the MDT Log information of UMTS system, also preserve the MDTLog information of LTE system, so, when terminal equipment has moved to LTE system (new system) following time, terminal equipment sends Log in the LTE system can use Indication message, and informing network side MDT Log information can be used.When network side requesting terminal equipment reported MDT Log information, terminal equipment only reported the MDTLog information of LTE system.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
By using the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention proposed, terminal equipment is according to the pairing RAT of MDT Log information that self preserves, reasonably select whether send Log and can use Indication message to network, thereby, avoid since at current RAT not at once, carry out MDT Log feedback information, and cause the situation of MDT Log information dropout effectively, on the other hand, because terminal equipment can determine whether according to the RAT situation of reality to report Log can use Indication message to network side, can avoid reporting of unnecessary MDT Log information, effectively save the interface-free resources of system.
