Inventor notices in invention process:
In chain of command data transmission procedure, if made a mistake, eNB will notify the peer-entities of UE to resend.So the RLC of UE side, PDCP, the entities such as MAC can know whether signaling sends successfully.But in prior art, because RRC entity does not possess functions of retransmission, therefore, even if bottom entity has been received message, send failed indication, also can not report RRC and know, only at bottom, initiate voluntarily to resend, be used for guaranteeing the reliability of RRC signaling.
And in the switching/processes such as reconstruction/cell update, can there is the behavior that the entities such as PDCP/RLC/MAC are reset.Take handoff procedure as example: the rrc layer of UE can be received the switching command of network side transmitted, wherein may carry the reconfiguration parameters of logic channel/transmission channel/physical channel.Will first PDCP entity, RLC entity, MAC entity be reset (reset) the parameter of receiving in switch command applies of UE.If now also have the RRC message of chain of command in transmission,, along with the replacement of above-mentioned entity is unified removing, message content is lost thereupon.
These mechanism cause the deficiencies in the prior art to be:
The MDT log of UE reports and uses SRB2 (Signalling Radio Bearer2, Signaling Radio Bearer 2) carry, if its size has exceeded the scope that PDCP can hold, upper giving the correct time, will go wrong, the RRC signaling that causes PDCP cannot bear big data quantity, cannot apply follow-up fail safe protection and send to bottom to report.
If data are cut apart at RRC, use many RRC signalings to report log result data, can avoid above-mentioned PDCP capacity problem.Existing protocol regulation is used reporting of RRC signaling bear MDT log result data, still, if these many RRC signalings report in the process of log result, switching/behaviors such as reconstruction/cell update has occurred, and may cause part log loss of data.
Even if one RRC signaling can be carried whole MDT log result datas, if reporting in process, this signaling there is switching/behaviors such as reconstruction/cell update, also may cause the loss of the log data of its carrying.
Fig. 3 is the report flow schematic diagram of logged MDT under regular situation, as shown in the figure, Logged MDT reports by network controls, but before network side notice UE reports, UE can notify with the indication of (log available) to log of network side.This indication generally sends in process of establishing/handoff procedure/process of reconstruction/cell updating course.
Fig. 4 obtains schematic flow sheet for Log result repeatedly, as shown in the figure, and repeatedly obtaining in the process of Log result:
Whether UE enters connection status from idle condition, or has changed community (switching/reconstruction/cell update) at connected state, by informing network side, indicate log can use in uplink RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling.Network can receive that log can be with after indication, and request UE reports concrete available log measurement result.
MDT log data can not be by UE active reporting to network, needs UE to report above-mentioned log available to indicate the existence of informing log, by network, determines whether carry out log data acquisition.If network notice UE reports log result, UE packs the log result of storage into packet according to certain format, and network is sent.
If the amount of reporting after a MDT measurement configuration has exceeded PDCP tolerance range, at rrc layer, carry out segmentation, possible, gradation reports; UE indicates the follow-up log result of failing to report because of big or small reason that whether also has in each reporting message; Whether network is understood after each reporting message, determine to notify UE to continue to report log result; UE can notify these total how many log report the tests to send in advance when reporting log available.
UE, in MDT measurement result reporting message, indicates follow-up whether in addition log result to need to send.
Based on above-mentioned consideration, the indication of Logged MDT measurement result is provided in the embodiment of the present invention and has reported scheme, in order to solve the data loss problem existing in the process of reporting measurement result, concrete, if sending the RRC signaling of log result is switched/rebuilds/Behavior blockings such as cell update, may produce packet loss phenomenon, this also has needs these bags of losing of certain mechanism again to be given for change.The technical scheme that the embodiment of the present invention provides is contemplated that: network reports obtaining in message of log result at notice UE, carries the sequence number that will obtain bag; Further, UE, in self RRC entity employing re-transmission assurance mechanism, obtains from bottom the RRC signaling sending and whether sends successful information, then the judgement whether resending.Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
In declarative procedure, to from the enforcement of UE and base station side, describe first respectively, then the cooperation of the two is implemented to describe, but this does not also mean that the two must coordinate enforcement, in fact, when UE and base station separate while implementing, also solved the problem existing respectively in UE side, base station side, when just the two is combined with, can obtain better technique effect.
Fig. 5 is the report method one implementing procedure schematic diagram of measurement result, as shown in the figure, reports Logged MDT measurement result can comprise the steps: in fact
Step 501, UE receive network side notice, and in described notice, network side indication UE reports Logged MDT measurement result;
Step 502, UE report Logged MDT measurement result by RRC signaling, and in this RRC signaling, carry Logged MDT measurement result that this time the report sequence number in all Logged MDT measurement results that report.
In enforcement, if base station indication UE reports Logged MDT measurement result by its required sequence number, can further include:
UE receives network side notice, and in described notice, network side indication UE sequence number in accordance with the instructions reports Logged MDT measurement result;
UE reports the Logged MDT measurement result of described sequence number by RRC signaling, and in this RRC signaling, carries the sequence number of the Logged MDT measurement result that this time report.
In enforcement, consider that UE reports Logged MDT measurement result to occur wrong situation, can adopt retransmission mechanism to ensure, in therefore implementing, can further include:
UE reports after Logged MDT measurement result by RRC signaling, and whether specified data sends successfully;
After sending unsuccessfully, UE retains the Logged MDT measurement result reporting.
In concrete enforcement, in UE specified data, whether send when successful, can comprise one of following two kinds of modes or its combination:
1, by bottom entity, notify the wrong mode that whether occurs.
UE reports after Logged MDT measurement result by RRC signaling, and whether bottom specified data sends successfully;
After sending unsuccessfully, bottom notice rrc layer sends unsuccessfully;
After knowing to send unsuccessfully, rrc layer retains the Logged MDT measurement result reporting.
2, by timer, determine whether to occur wrong mode.
UE reports after Logged MDT measurement result by RRC signaling, starts timing;
After exceeding setting threshold and do not receive uploading feedback information, timing duration retains the Logged MDT measurement result reporting.
With low layer notice, timing, be judged as example and describe in force, this is because these two kinds of modes are implemented the most simple; But, in theory, as long as can make UE, know that the data of its transmission fail correctly to be received by network side, also be fine by other more complicated mode, low layer notice, timing judgement are only for instructing those skilled in the art specifically how to implement the present invention, but do not mean and only can use this two kinds of modes, in implementation process, can need to carry out to determine in conjunction with practice the confirmation mode of corresponding loss of data.
In enforcement, the Logged MDT measurement result reporting in reservation, receives after network side notice reporting Logged MDT measurement result, can further include one of following steps or its combination:
The sequence number of determining the Logged MDT measurement result that reports failure, reports the Logged MDT measurement result after this sequence number again;
Again the Logged MDT measurement result of the sequence number of report network side indication;
Again report all Logged MDT measurement results.
In enforcement, after the Logged MDT measurement result reporting in reservation, can further include:
After bottom notice rrc layer sends successfully, delete the Logged MDT measurement result retaining.
Concrete, the object of above-described embodiment is, if RRC directly deletes after data group bag is sent, even if lower floor's these data of notice RRC such as PDCP do not send successfully, also cannot resend.So require RRC after one section of log data group bag is sent, retain, until receive the successful confirmation that bottom transmits, then delete.
Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present invention, also provide base station side indication UE to report the scheme of Logged MDT measurement result, described below.
Fig. 6 is the method implementing procedure schematic diagram of indication UE reporting measurement result, as shown in the figure, when indication, can comprise the steps:
Step 601, base station receive the Logged MDT measurement result that UE reports by RRC signaling, carried Logged MDT measurement result that this time the report sequence number in all Logged MDT measurement results that report in RRC signaling;
Step 602, base station are determined the sequence number that needs the Logged MDT measurement result that UE reports according to the sequence number of Logged MDT measurement result reporting and the sequence number of the Logged MDT measurement result that all needs report at every turn;
Step 603, base station notice UE report Logged MDT measurement result by described sequence number.
The present invention has also considered that the scheme of another kind of employing retransmission mechanism avoids the loss of data, describes below.
Fig. 7 is the report method two implementing procedure schematic diagrames of measurement result, as shown in the figure, can comprise the steps:
Step 701, UE report after Logged MDT measurement result by RRC signaling, and whether specified data sends successfully;
Step 702, after sending unsuccessfully, UE retains the Logged MDT measurement result reporting.
In enforcement, whether UE specified data sends successfully, can comprise:
Whether UE bottom specified data sends successfully;
After sending unsuccessfully, bottom notice rrc layer sends unsuccessfully.
In enforcement, whether UE specified data sends successfully, can comprise:
UE reports after Logged MDT measurement result by RRC signaling, starts timing;
After timing duration exceedes setting threshold and do not receive uploading feedback information, UE specified data sends unsuccessfully.
In enforcement, consider and the combination of the scheme mechanism of aforementioned sequence number, UE reports before Logged MDT measurement result, can further include: user equipment (UE) receives network side notice, and in described notice, network side indication UE reports Logged MDT measurement result;
When UE reports Logged MDT measurement result, may further include: UE carries Logged MDT measurement result that this time the report sequence number in all Logged MDT measurement results that report in this RRC signaling.
In implementing, the Logged MDT measurement result reporting in reservation, receives after network side notice reporting Logged MDT measurement result, can further include one of following steps or its combination:
The sequence number of determining the Logged MDT measurement result that reports failure, reports the Logged MDT measurement result after this sequence number again;
Again the Logged MDT measurement result of the sequence number of report network side indication;
Again report all Logged MDT measurement results.
In enforcement, after the Logged MDT measurement result reporting in reservation, can further include:
After bottom notice rrc layer sends successfully, delete the Logged MDT measurement result retaining.
The mechanism of above-mentioned sequence number is implemented together with can implementing separately also can combine with the mechanism of re-transmission, and this is also that those skilled in the art institute is easy to know.
