Background technology
Fig. 1 is the mapping schematic diagram of existing LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) descending transmission channel to physical channel, and Fig. 2 is the mapping schematic diagram of existing LTE uplink transport channel to physical channel, and each channel is respectively among the figure:
PBCH (Physical broadcast channel, Physical Broadcast Channel), this channel carries the information of the MIB (Master Information Block, control information piece) in the broadcast.
PCFICH (Physical control format indicator channel, Physical Control Format Indicator Channel), this channel is used to refer to several OFDM in each subframe (O rthogonal Frequency DivisionMultiplex, OFDM), and symbol uses for control character.
PDCCH (Physical downlink control channel, Physical Downlink Control Channel), down control channel is indicated PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel by PDCCH, Physical Downlink Shared Channel) or PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, Physical Uplink Shared Channel) running time-frequency resource, information such as coded system.
PHICH (Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel, Physical HARQ Indicator Channel; HARQ:Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, mixed automatic repeat request), this channel is used to carry the descending HARQ feedback information of uplink.
PDSCH is a DSCH Downlink Shared Channel.
PMCH (Physical multicast channel, Physical Multicast Channel) is a Multicast Channel.
PUCCH (Physical uplink control channel, Physical Uplink Control Channel) is used to carry the upward HARQ feedback information of downlink transfer, carry SR (scheduling request, dispatch request) information, carry CQI (Channel Quality Indicator, channel quality indication) report information.
PUSCH is a Uplink Shared Channel.
PRACH (Physical random access channel) is a Random Access Channel.
The broadcast separated into two parts is a part of in MIB at present, and by the PBCH carrying, another part is carried by PDSCH in SIB (System Information Block, system information block).At present at SON (Self Organizing Networks, self-organizing network) or MDT (minimization drive test, minimum road test) discussion, have scheme described that MIB among the PBCH takes defeat and PDSCH in the record that takes defeat of SIB, report then, this information of network utilisation carries out SON or operator utilizes this information to carry out minimum road test.
Can carry among the wherein up PUCCH:
1, the upward HARQ feedback information of downlink transfer;
2, dispatch request information (SR), the CQI report information.
Wherein SR information is to need to send when the UE uplink service, and when not having ascending resource to use, and is used for that the informing network request is scheduled.
MDT has measuring amount now:
The thought of MDT is to allow UE report relevant metrical information, or notes then that newspaper gets on to the turkey of correspondence failure.UE also needs to carry up together then under the time preservation at this moment when record metrical information and turkey, is used for auxiliary network to do the network optimization.
Several UE measuring amount of having passed through at present are (specifically can with reference to 3GPP 36.805 V1.2)
1, Periodical downlink pilot measurements (the cycle descending pilot frequency is measured);
2, Serving Cell becomes worse than threshold (it is poorer than setting thresholding that service district becomes);
3, Transmit power headroom becomes less than threshold (it is poorer than setting thresholding that PHR becomes);
4, Random access failure (access failure at random);
5, Paging Channel Failure (paging channel takes defeat);
6, Broadcast Channel failure (broadcast channel takes defeat).
In these 6 UE measuring amount, wherein the 2nd Serving Cell becomes worse thanthreshold (it is poorer than setting thresholding that service district becomes) considers that PUSCH is carried out covering problem to be checked.The 4th Random access failure (access failure at random) is optimized at the PRACH channel.But for the PUCCH up channel, not corresponding the measurement is optimized.
Relating at present the scheme basic thought that PUCCH is carried out coverage optimization in the prior art is:
Be in the UE of connection status in up, the certain SR resource of UE can be distributed in the base station.And the proprietary SR of this SR on PUCCH, carrying.If UE has upstream data to send and will send the upstream request Resources allocation by SR to the base station when not having ascending resource.Whether the base station decision distributes to this UE resource, if it is bad that up channel covers, UE has sent SR and does not receive the base station, then UE can not be scheduled, if this information does not send to network, then network and do not know UE sent D-SR (dedicated-SR, proprietary-as SR), just can not find up covering problem.Although may have UE request certainly but the base station not have the situation of scheduling, the base station can be judged according to the time that UE reports up owing to do not receive what SR itself did not have to dispatch in this case, thereby determines whether it being up covering problem.
Therefore UE can not receive scheduling back this information of record by X for a long time after sending SR, and notes information such as time, position and sub-district at this moment, and reports this information in the suitable time.Also can base station triggers report, the long X of this X can set as required.
UE can not receive scheduling back this information of record yet after transmission SR is N time, and notes information such as time, position and sub-district at this moment, and reports this information in the suitable time.Also can base station triggers report, can dispose for N time.
The deficiency of such scheme is: although there is the UE request, the base station does not have the situation of scheduling.The base station can be judged owing to not receiving that SR still is that itself does not dispatch according to the time that UE reports up in this case.Thereby determine whether it being up covering problem.And this just requires being consistent with the base station of timestamp strictness that UE reports, but not corresponding at present mechanism guarantees time strictness consistent of base station and UE.
Embodiment
The inventor notices in the invention process: be in the UE of connection status in up, the certain SR resource of UE can be distributed in the base station.And the proprietary SR of this SR on PUCCH, carrying.If UE has upstream data to send and will send the upstream request Resources allocation by SR to the base station when not having ascending resource.Whether the base station decision distributes to this UE resource, and does not receive the base station if the up channel covering is bad, and UE has sent SR, and then UE can not be scheduled.The network and do not know that UE sent D-SR if this information does not send to network just can not found up covering problem.Therefore, will provide in the embodiment of the invention at this defective and provide technical scheme, and adopt this scheme can mask UE and the inaccurate problem of base station timestamp record.In this scheme, for the UE of connection status, the certain SR resource of UE can be distributed in the base station, and network side can send several times by the signaling configuration UE and report behind the D-SR.Report after sending 5 SR such as the network side configuration UE, and write down time and the geographical position that these 5 SR send, cell information etc.Also write down UE at network side and send SR several times.Like this, if Network records 4 times, and UE reports up 5 times, this illustrates the once up problem that is coated with.If a plurality of UE report that there is problem in same place, then can judge the up problem that is coated with in this place.If in the D-SR of network appointment transmission number of times the sub-district switching has taken place at UE, UE can carry up the D-SR relevant information that has taken place, and network side also can also can judge whether to exist up covering problem according to this information.If UE sends in the number of times at the D-SR of network appointment and transferred to IDLE (free time) state, then UE then cancels the situation that reports transmission D-SR, and network side is also removed relevant configuration.Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
