In addition, eNB RRC unit 11 sends RRC by Transmit-Receive Unit 13 and connects and reconfigure message and measure in UE RRC sends frequently and dispose.
UE measures according to received measurement configuration messages execution, if the result who measures satisfies the condition that enters ICIC cell edge region A3 incident, then UE will and enter the corresponding incident A3 of measurement ID of ICIC cell edge region to the eNB report; If satisfy the condition of leaving ICIC cell edge region A3 incident, then UE is to eNB report and the corresponding incident A3 of measurement ID that leaves the ICIC cell edge region; If the result who measures satisfies the condition of the incident A3 that carries out handover, then UE will be to eNB report and the corresponding incident A3 of measurement ID that is used for handover.
When Transmit-Receive Unit 13 received the incident A3 that is used for ICIC, eNB RRC unit 11 entered the ICIC cell edge region to the MAC of eNB layer unit 14 notice UE, still leaves the ICIC cell edge region.When receiving the incident A3 that is used for handover, eNB will trigger conventional handover procedure, and therefore to reconfiguring with the corresponding measurement of incident A3 ID.
When eNB RRC unit 11 when the MAC of eNB layer unit 14 notice UE enter the ICIC cell edge region, the MAC layer unit of eNB joins this UE in the Cell Edge User set.When eNB RRC unit 11 when the MAC of eNB layer unit 14 notice UE leave the ICIC cell edge region, the MAC layer unit 14 of eNB removes this UE from the Cell Edge User set.
Like this, whether be in the edge of sub-district based on UE, UE is given with suitable allocation of radio resources in the MAC layer unit 14 of eNB, thereby has eliminated presence of intercell interference effectively, and has improved the QoS of Cell Edge User and the performance of whole system.
Fig. 2 shows the schematic diagram of the relation between the signal that Serving cell and neighbor cell are described.In this embodiment, disposed three at incident A3 and measured ID, measured ID for one and be used for handover, two other is respectively applied for and enters the ICIC cell edge region and leave the ICIC cell edge region.The a3 event offset of supposing to be used for handover is 0dB, and the a3 skew that is used to enter the ICIC cell edge region is-6dB.As can be seen from Figure 2, when UE when neighbor cell moves, if neighbor cell become than Serving cell good-6dB, the expression UE will enter cell edge region.If neighbor cell has become than the good 0dB of Serving cell, then it will enter handover procedure.
Fig. 4 shows the flow chart according to the user's of the identification cell edge of the embodiment of the invention method.This method determines based on the UE measurement report whether UE is in the edge of sub-district.
As shown in Figure 4, at step S1, UE has finished initial network insertion (RRC connects foundation).Then, at step S2, eNB RRC unit 11 just sends RRC connection reallocation message by Transmit-Receive Unit 13 and initiates to measure layoutprocedure, comprise with corresponding three of incident A3 and measure ID: one is used for handover, and two other is respectively applied for and enters the ICIC cell edge region and leave the ICIC cell edge region.
Then, at step S3, UE will return RRC connection reprovision and finish message.At step S4, set up the initial UE context.After the initial UE context is set up, the carrying of acquiescence will be set up.
At step S5~S7, if eNB RRC receives the incident A3 report that is used for ICIC, then whether eNB RRC unit 11 will enter the ICIC cell edge region or leave the ICIC cell edge region to eNB MAC layer unit 14 notice UE, and the MAC layer 14 of eNB joins UE in the Cell Edge User set or with it and shifts out from the Cell Edge User set in view of the above.
At step S8, if eNB RRC receives the incident A3 that is used for handover, then eNB RRC will initiate conventional handover procedure.
Like this, whether be in the edge of sub-district based on UE, UE is given with suitable allocation of radio resources in the MAC layer unit 14 of eNB, thereby has eliminated presence of intercell interference effectively, and has improved the QoS of Cell Edge User and the performance of whole system.
