Embodiment
In order to make those skilled in the art person understand the scheme of the embodiment of the invention better, the embodiment of the invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with drawings and embodiments.
In time-division system, terminal is being carried out the sub-district when switching or according to the notice of network side, measures and to the network side reporting measurement reports, wherein comprises the deviate between the SFN that different districts arrives this terminal.Such as, terminal is in the sub-district 1, and the neighbor cell of sub-district 1 comprises: sub-district 2, sub-district 3 then comprise the deviate of the SFN between sub-district 1 and the sub-district 2 in the measurement report of this terminal to report, be designated as the deviate of the SFN between SFN1-SFN2 and sub-district 1 and the sub-district 3, be designated as SFN1-SFN3.For this reason, time-division system air interface synchronization method and equipment that the embodiment of the invention provides, carry out cascading judgement according to two minizone SFN observed time differences (SFN-SFN OTD) in the measurement report of a plurality of terminal to report in the neighbor cell, determine the base station of step-out and the base station of step-out not; Carry out synchronously base station to step-out.
As shown in Figure 1, be the flow chart of embodiment of the invention time-division system air interface synchronization method, may further comprise the steps:
Step 101, two minizone SFN observed time differences (SFN-SFN OTD) according in the measurement report of at least one terminal to report in the neighbor cell have determined whether that step-out appears in the base station.
Particularly, can may further comprise the steps:
(1) notifies the first terminal to report measurement report in described a plurality of terminal, particularly, can regularly notify the described first terminal to report measurement report.
(2) if first sub-district and the second minizone SFN observed time difference surpass the first predetermined threshold value in the measurement report of described first terminal to report, then the other-end that is in connection status in sub-district, the described first terminal place and with sub-district, described first terminal place neighbor cell in the formed combination of the terminal that is in connection status in a plurality of terminals initiate to measure control messages.
(3) measurement report of a plurality of terminal to report in the described combination of reception.
(4), determine that then step-out appears in base station in first sub-district or the base station in second sub-district if the ratio that first sub-district and the second minizone SFN observed time difference surpass described first thresholding in the measurement report that receives surpasses predetermined proportion threshold value.
For the said process detailed description of will giving an example in the back.
Step 102 if there is the base station step-out to occur, is then carried out the base station of step-out synchronously.
Particularly, the base station of step-out is being carried out when synchronous, can whether have the backup reference source to decide the method for synchronization according to the base station of described step-out.Such as, there is the backup reference source base station of described step-out, and the base station of the described step-out of then preferential indication switches to described backup reference source with local clock; Otherwise, can with the base station of step-out and not the SFN-SFN OTD between the base station of step-out send to the base station of described step-out so that clock alignment is carried out according to the SFN-SFN OTD that receives in the base station of described step-out.Such as, if the base station step-out in first sub-district, and do not back up reference source, then calculate the average of first sub-district and the second minizone SFN observed time difference in the measurement report of the terminal to report in other sub-districts adjacent with first sub-district, and this average sent to base station in first sub-district, so that clock alignment is carried out according to the average that receives in the base station in first sub-district; If the perhaps base station step-out in second sub-district, and do not back up reference source, then calculate the average of first sub-district and the second minizone SFN observed time difference in the measurement report of the terminal to report in other sub-districts adjacent with second sub-district, and this average sent to base station in second sub-district, so that clock alignment is carried out according to the average that receives in the base station in second sub-district.
The base station is carried out in the concrete calibration process of clock alignment and the prior art similar, is not described in detail at this.
Certainly, in the method for the embodiment of the invention synchronous process is carried out in the base station of step-out and be not limited in above-mentioned this mode, such as, can preferably make the base station of described step-out carry out clock alignment according to the SFN-SFN OTD that receives.
In embodiments of the present invention, the base station of step-out is carried out when synchronous, which base station at first will determine specifically has be in desynchronizing state, that is to say, determines the base station of step-out and the base station of step-out not, then clock alignment is carried out in the base station of step-out.Particularly, can be by the average of first sub-district and the second minizone SFN observed time difference in the measurement report that calculates a plurality of terminal to report in the described combination, and the average of SFN observed time difference between average, second sub-district and other neighbor cells except that first sub-district of SFN observed time difference between first sub-district and other neighbor cells except that second sub-district; If the average of first sub-district and the second minizone SFN observed time difference surpasses second threshold value, and the average of first sub-district and other minizones SFN observed time difference except that second sub-district surpasses described second threshold value, then determine the base station step-out in second sub-district, the base station in first sub-district is step-out not; If perhaps the average of first sub-district and the second minizone SFN observed time difference surpasses second threshold value, and the average of second sub-district and other minizones SFN observed time difference except that first sub-district surpasses described second threshold value, then determine the base station step-out of first sub-district, the base station in second sub-district is step-out not.Detailed process will illustrate in the back.
Further describe embodiment of the invention time-division system air interface synchronization method below for example.
As shown in Figure 2, have three sub-district: Cell1, Cell2, Cell3, the UE that wherein is in connection status among the Cell1 has UE11, UE12, UE13; The UE that is in connection status among the Cell2 has UE21, UE22, UE23.Three sub-districts are neighboring BS relationship each other.
RNC (Radio Network Controller, radio network controller) notice UE11 reporting measurement reports.Particularly, RNC can regularly notify UE11 reporting measurement reports.
After RNC receives the measurement report of UE11, two minizone SFN observed time differences between CELL1 in the measurement report and each adjacent area are adjudicated.If wherein there are two minizone SFN observed time differences to surpass the first predetermined threshold value, such as being made as 3us to TD-SCDMA, then there is the situation that the clock phase deviation between two base stations exceeds standard in explanation.
At this moment, for step-out has appearred in the clock of further determining which base station, then RNC initiates to measure control messages to UE12, UE13, UE21, UE22, UE23.
Court verdict above supposing is that two minizone SFN observed time differences between CELL1 and the CELL2 have surpassed first threshold value, the measurement report that this moment, RNC can report according to UE12, UE13, UE21, UE22, UE23 then, obtain CELL1 in each measurement report and two minizone SFN observed time differences between the CELL2 respectively, then these two minizones SFN observed time differences are averaged, obtain the average V of two minizone SFN observed time differences between CELL1 and the CELL2 1-2If this average V 1-2(second threshold value can be identical with first threshold value greater than the predetermined second threshold value, also can be different), then RNC also needs further to obtain CELL2 in each measurement report and two minizone SFN observed time differences between the CELL3, these two minizones SFN observed time differences are averaged, obtain the average V of two minizone SFN observed time differences between CELL2 and the CELL3 2-3If this average V 2-3Smaller or equal to described second threshold value, the base station that the CELL1 place then is described is step-out, and the base station at CELL2 and CELL3 place is step-out not.
Certainly, RNC also can obtain CELL1 in each measurement report and two minizone SFN observed time differences between the CELL3 earlier, these two minizones SFN observed time differences are averaged, obtain the average V of two minizone SFN observed time differences between CELL1 and the CELL3 1-3If this average V 1-3Smaller or equal to described second threshold value, the base station that the CELL2 place then is described is step-out, and the base station at CELL1 and CELL3 place is step-out not.
Need to prove that above-mentioned first threshold value can be set according to the different of application need and system with second threshold value.And when RNC other except that UE11 in CELL1 and CELL2 were in the terminal initiation measurement control messages of connection status, all or part of terminal that can choose wherein initiated to measure control messages.
After adopting above-mentioned detection method to detect the base station step-out at Cell1 place, the Cell2 of UE21, UE22, UE23 measurement and the two minizone SFN observed time differences of Cell1 are averaged as value time calibration to Cell1, promptly the clock phase compensation are carried out in the base station that has the clock phase deviation.
Particularly, it is synchronous to notify the base station at Cell1 place to stop GPS by RNC, and value time calibration that will calculate above sends to the base station at Cell1 place.
The clock module of the base station at Cell1 place according to described time calibration value clock alignment is carried out in this base station.Similar in concrete calibration process and the prior art, be not described in detail at this.
This shows, embodiment of the invention time-division system air interface synchronization method, carry out cascading judgement according to the SFN-SFN OTD in the measurement report of a plurality of terminal to report in the neighbor cell, determine the base station of step-out and the base station of step-out not, thereby can the base station step-out that the slow drift in clock source causes be detected effectively, and then the base station of step-out carried out synchronously, thereby realized the time-division system air interface synchronization, ensured the operate as normal of base station.
In actual applications, because two different districts that two minizone SFN observed time differences are just measured arrive the time difference of same terminal, the transmission range of eating dishes without rice or wine inconsistent do not cooked correction, therefore in fact in above-mentioned steps 101, two minizone SFN observed time differences of terminal to report can not accurately reflect two clock phase deviations between the base station.Comprised the error that terminal to two a sub-district distance is different and introduce in the two minizone SFN observed time differences, this error amount varies in size and different with terminal and base station distance are inconsistent.For the city, therefore less in the two minizone SFN observed time differences because the base station spacing is less because of the error of the inconsistent generation of distance, and for suburb or rural area, increase greatly owing to the base station spacing, this influence will increase.
For this reason, in order to reduce above-mentioned error, in the invention described above embodiment time-division system air interface synchronization method, can distinguish the base station in the RNC side and be in city or suburb, at the residing zones of different in base station, set different judgement thresholdings, promptly above-mentioned first threshold value and second threshold value are so that the system air interface synchronization of making reaches better effect.
Such as, the protection of reserving from the TD-SCDMA structure of time slot is (GP) length at interval, if two minizone SFN observed time differences between two base stations surpass 16 chip (chip); The minizone of two base stations will produce interference; Therefore, can set described first threshold value>16Chip.When two minizone SFN observed time differences of the terminal to report that surpasses certain proportion (0%-100%) surpass described first threshold value, just can judge possible step-out between the base station.
The TD-SCDMA system is a system that synchronization accuracy is had relatively high expectations, if the sub-district clock is asynchronous between the base station, can cause interference each other on the one hand, network ISCP (Interference Signal CodePower, Interference Signal Code Power) can raise, because the minizone is asynchronous, can cause the minizone success rate for switching to descend greatly on the other hand, these two characteristics are the obvious performances behind the time-division system base station step-out.
Therefore, in order further to reduce the measure error that terminal to base station may be introduced apart from difference, can also be by the above-mentioned two kinds of performances behind the base station step-out as subsidiary conditions, so that judge whether really step-out of base station more accurately.
The base station of step-out and the base station of step-out have not been supposed to determine, then before clock alignment is carried out in the base station of step-out, can also from described step-out base station, filter out the base station that really is in desynchronizing state further combined with sub-district handover success rate and/or Interference Signal Code Power, judge to do more accurately, make when clock alignment is carried out in the base station of step-out, only clock alignment is carried out in the base station that really is in desynchronizing state.Particularly, following three kinds of schemes can be arranged.
Scheme one: by sub-district handover success rate auxiliary judgment base station step-out
In this scheme, threshold parameter can be set: " the incision success rate worsens relative threshold " and/or " cut out success rate and worsen relative threshold ", and need do following processing:

Scheme two: by ISCP auxiliary judgment base station step-out
In this scheme, threshold parameter can be set: " ISCP worsens relative threshold ", and need do following processing:
(1), adds up each time slot ISCP mean value of this sub-district at any one sub-district in the described step-out base station;
(2) each time slot ISCP mean value in the RNC under the described step-out of the statistics base station;
(3) if each time slot ISCP mean value relative ratio of interior each time slot ISCP mean value of described RNC and described sub-district less than default " ISCP worsens relative threshold ", judges that then described step-out base station really is in desynchronizing state.
Scheme three: by sub-district handover success rate and the comprehensive auxiliary judgment base station step-out of ISCP
In this scheme, need be provided with that a threshold parameter " comprehensively worsens relative threshold " and a scale factor parameter " the ISCP judgment mechanism accounting factor ", and need do following processing:
(1) at any one sub-district statistics time slot ISCP in the step-out base station;
(2) at any one sub-district in the step-out base station by incision between the counters count base station, cut out success rate;
(3) time slot ISCP mean value in the RNC under the described step-out of the statistics base station;
(4) switch incision between the base station in the RNC under the described step-out of the statistics base station, cut out average success rate;
(5) if [cutting the average success rate relative ratio of incision * (1-" the ISCP judgment mechanism accounting factor ") of success rate and described RNC in the described RNC between the base station of each time slot ISCP mean value relative ratio * " the ISCP judgment mechanism accounting the factor "+problem cells of time slot ISCP mean value and problem cells] less than default " comprehensively worsening relative threshold ", judges that then described step-out base station really is in desynchronizing state.
