Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications network technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for predicting a target cell.
Background
When a User is on a high-speed train, due to the fast changing channel characteristics and the shielding effect of a train body, the link quality between a User Equipment (UE) terminal in a carriage and a roadside base station is reduced, the call drop rate and the handover failure rate are both high, and then an MRS (mobile relay station) occurs, where the MRS is a relay station placed on a vehicle or a mobile carrier, and when the UE is located on the vehicle, the UE establishes a connection with a ground base station through the MRS, so that the shielding problem of the vehicle can be solved, and the terminal capability consumption and the overhead of an air interface are reduced.
When switching between the MRS on the vehicle and each base station, the switching needs to be completed quickly, and the MRS needs to relay a large amount of UE data, and needs to acquire a large amount of resources from the accessed base station instantaneously. When the MRS on a vehicle moves with the vehicle, and the prior art predicts the movement of the MRS on the vehicle, the MRS or the next cell that a terminal will enter is directly predicted according to the movement history of the MRS because the movement of the vehicle is regular; or, according to the cell where the MRS is currently located and the movement history, counting the probability of the cell adjacent to the current cell, and predicting the cell with the high probability as the next cell into which the MRS will enter.
However, when the network changes or the vehicle operation changes, the prior art predicts the movement of the MRS with low accuracy or cannot correctly predict the next cell into which the MRS will enter.

Example 2
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for predicting a target cell, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:
step 301, acquiring a movement rule of a mobile relay station MRS;
MRS (mobile relay station), a relay station that is mounted on a vehicle or a mobile carrier and receives and forwards a radio signal.
Specifically, the movement rule of the MRS is obtained according to all the handover record information sequentially stored in the MRS, where the handover record information includes each cell that the MRS has been handed over to and the residence time of the MRS in each cell. As shown in fig. 4, each circle represents a cell, a cell in the embodiment of the present invention specifically refers to a base station in the cell, the numbers above the circles represent the sequence of handover records, the left number of "/" in the circle is a cell identifier, the right number of "/" in the circle represents the residence time of the MRS in the cell, for example, the cell into which the first handover of the MRS enters is represented by 1/60 in the circle, which represents that the MRS resides in the cell identified by 1 for 60 minutes.
The method for acquiring the MRS movement rule specifically comprises the following substeps:
step 3010, calculate the average value of the residence time according to the residence time of MRS in each cell in all the handover record information sequentially stored in the MRS;
calculating the average value of the residence time length according to the value Tt (Tr (1) + Tr (2) + … + Tr (i) + … Tr (N))/N, wherein Tr (i) represents the residence time length of the ith resident cell, the ith resident cell can be represented by C (i), Tt represents the average value of the residence time length, N is the effective number of samples collected in the current switching history information, and the value of N is [1, Nmax ], namely if the current number of samples is more than Nmax, the latest Nmax sample values are taken for calculation. For example, in fig. 4, N is 29, and the calculated initial Tt is Tt ≈ 6 (minutes) as the average of the 29 cell camping periods in the figure.
Step 3011, determining a candidate home cell according to the average value of the calculated residence time, where the candidate home cell is used to identify a home mobile ring;
the home cell is the cell accessed by the MRS berthing at the bus main station, is the cell with the longest residence time of the MRS, and can obtain a home mobile ring according to the home cell, namely the MRS follows the vehicle to start from the home cell and finally berths at the home cell.
Specifically, the method for determining the candidate home cell is as follows:
when Tr (i) > Tt and Tr (i) > Trh, determining the cell C (i) corresponding to the Tr (i) as the candidate home cell;
wherein, tr (i) is a time duration of camping in a cell c (i), the cell c (i) is a cell through which the MRS is handed over, i is a natural number greater than and equal to 1, Tt is the calculated average value, Trh is a time duration of camping in a candidate home cell of the MRS, and Tt is Trh at an initial time.
When the MRS moves and experiences new cells, the residence time length of the MRS in the cells is sequentially compared with Tt and Trh, and if the residence time length of the MRS in the cell C (i + n) is more than Tt and also more than Trh, the cell C (i + n) is determined to be a new candidate home cell.
As shown in fig. 4, the first recorded cell is a candidate home cell, and when two equal candidate home mobile rings are continuously identified according to the candidate home cell, the candidate home mobile ring is referred to as a home mobile ring, and the candidate home cell is referred to as a home cell.
Step 3012, obtain the home mobile ring according to the candidate home cell, and determine that the candidate home cell is a home cell;
the home mobile ring is a mobile ring formed by all cells sequentially experienced by the MRS in the course of following the movement of the vehicle, and is not simply a ring in the mobile network but a ring mapped in the mobile network after the MRS moves along with the vehicle operation line ring. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, 4- > 5- > 6- > 7- > 4 is a mobile loop and is not a home mobile loop as defined in the present invention, but 1- > 2- > 3- > 4- > 5- > 6- > 7- > 4- > 3- > 2- > 1 shown in FIG. 5 is a home mobile loop as defined in the present invention.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, obtaining the home moving ring according to the candidate home cell includes the following specific steps:
step 601, obtaining a first candidate attribution mobile ring and a second candidate attribution mobile ring according to the candidate attribution cell;
specifically, step 6010, sequentially querying, according to all handover record information sequentially stored in the MRS, identifiers of the cells into which the MRS is handed over after C (i), and obtaining a first cell C (i + M) which is the same as the identifier of C (i) and whose residence time in C (i) is greater than Tt;
as shown in fig. 4, the 1 st cell in the record is a candidate home cell, the identification CID (1) of the candidate home cell is 1, and then the identification of the home mobile ring is performed based on C1. When the 3 rd cell in the record is inquired to have the same identification as the 1 st cell in the record, i.e. CID (3) ═ 1.
Here, since it is required to specify that the dwell time of the candidate home cell is longer than the average value of the calculated dwell times, the 1 st cell, the 2 nd cell, and the 3 rd cell in fig. 4, i.e., 1- > 2- > 1, are not desired candidate home mobile rings, and the identification of the mobile rings is continued.
Step 6011, obtaining a first candidate home mobile ring according to the obtained first cell, where the first candidate home mobile ring is { C (i), (i +1), C (i +2), and … C (i + M) };
for example, if it is found that the identifier of the 15 th cell in the record is the same as the identifier of the 1 st cell in the record, that is, CID (15) is 1, and the residence time duration Tt (15) of C (15) is 15 minutes, which is greater than the average value of the calculated residence time durations, then the first candidate home mobile ring is obtained, which is MC1 ═ { C (1), C (2), C (3), … C (15) }.
Step 6012, continue to query each cell into which the MRS is handed over after the C (i + M), obtain a second cell C (i + N) which is the same as the identity of the C (i) and the identity of the C (i + M) and has a dwell time greater than Tt at the C (i + M);
for example, the identity of the 29 th cell in the record is queried to be the same as the identity of the 1 st and 15 th cells in the record.
Step 6013, according to the obtained second cell, a second candidate home mobile ring is obtained, where the second candidate home mobile ring is { C (i + M), C (i + M +1), C (i + M +2), … C (i + M + N) }.
For example, if the dwell period Tt (29) of C (29) is 15 minutes > 6 minutes, where 6 minutes is the average of the calculated dwell periods, then the second candidate home mobile ring is obtained as MC2 ═ C (15), C (16), C (17), … C (29).
Step 602, determining whether the first candidate home mobile ring and the second candidate home mobile ring are the same;
specifically, whether L { MC1} and L { MC2} are equal is judged, wherein L { MC1} represents the number of cells included in the first candidate home mobile ring, and L { MC2} represents the number of cells included in the second candidate home mobile ring;
when L { MC1} is not equal to L { MC2}, then the first candidate home mobile ring and the second candidate home mobile ring are not the same; at this time, a new candidate attribution mobile ring needs to be obtained again according to the method for obtaining the candidate attribution mobile ring;
when L { MC1} is equal to L { MC2}, sequentially comparing whether the cell identifications at the positions corresponding to MC1 and MC2 are consistent; comparing the MC1 with the 1 st cell of the MC2, wherein the MC1 is not the same as the MC2 as long as the identity of any one of the MC1 and the MC2 is not the same; when the identities of all cells in MC1 and MC2 are the same, then MC1 is the same as MC 2.
Step 603, when the first candidate home mobile ring is different from the second candidate home mobile ring, acquiring a new candidate home mobile ring again according to the method for acquiring a candidate home mobile ring;
at this time, step 6010 to step 6013 are executed to reacquire a new candidate home mobile ring;
step 604, when the first candidate home mobile ring and the second candidate home mobile ring are the same, determining that the home mobile ring is the first candidate home mobile ring or the second candidate home mobile ring, and determining that the candidate home cell is a home cell;
as shown in fig. 4, the determined home mobile ring is MCh ═ { C (1), C (2), C (3), C (4), C (5), C (6), C (7), C (4), C (3), C (2), C (1) }, where C (1) is the home cell.
After learning the movement rule of the MRS according to all the handover record information sequentially stored in the MRS, the next cell to which the MRS will enter is predicted according to the learned movement rule.
Step 302, predicting a target cell to which the MRS will enter according to the acquired MRS movement rule, the cell in which the MRS is currently located and the information of a preset number of cells switched by the MRS;
further, the predetermined number of cells may specifically be cells through which the MRS moves by one period following the vehicle, where one period refers to that the MRS starts from a home cell and returns to the home cell, and the target cell into which the MRS is predicted to enter may adopt two modes, one mode is a basic prediction method, and the other mode is an extended prediction method.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the basic prediction method:
step 701, in the home mobile ring, calculating the number J of cells having the same identifier as c (w), where c (w) is the cell where the MRS is currently located;
and the cell in the home mobile ring, which has the same identifier as the cell in which the MRS is currently located, is called a matching cell of the cell in which the MRS is currently located. Information on whether the home mobile ring is a matching cell of the cell where the MRS is currently located may be stored by an array l (i), where i represents a location of the cell on the home mobile ring, and l (i) is set to 1 in the corresponding location if the cell is a matching cell, and l (i) is set to 0 in the corresponding location if the cell is not a matching cell. Thus, the number J of cells having the same identity as that of c (w) can be obtained by counting 1 s in the array l (i).
Step 702, when J is equal to 0, setting MC (W +1) as NULL, where MC (W +1) is a target cell predicted to be entered by the MRS;
for example, when the identifier of c (W) is 8, there is no cell identified as 8 in the determined home mobile ring, which means that the c (W) cell is not in the determined home mobile ring, and therefore, no effective prediction can be made, MC (W +1) may be set to NULL, where MC (W +1) is the predicted target cell into which the MRS will enter.
Step 703, predicting MC (W +1) as a target cell to which the MRS will enter when J is 1, where MC (W +1) is a next cell of MC (W) in the home mobile ring, and MC (W) is a cell indicated in the home mobile ring with the same identity as c (W);
for example, when the identifier of c (w) is 5, and only the identifier of 7 th cell is 5 in the determined home mobile ring, it may be directly predicted that the 8 th cell in the home mobile ring is the target cell into which the MRS will enter, that is, the cell identified as 6 in the home mobile ring.
Step 704, when J > 1, respectively calculating the number K of the previous cell identifier of the J cells in the home mobile ring, the number K of the cells having the same identifier as that of the C (W-1);
for example, when the identifier of c (w) is 2, a total of four cells in the determined home mobile ring is 2, so that the target cell to which the MRS is going to enter cannot be directly determined, and it is necessary to query whether the identifier of the previous cell of the four cells identified by 2 is the same as the identifier of the cell that the MRS has just handed over, if the identifier of the cell that the MRS has just handed over is 1, at this time, in the determined home mobile ring, the number of cells whose identifier is 1 is the previous cell of the cell identified by 2 is 3 in total, and at this time, K is 3.
Step 705, when K is 1, predicting that MC (W +1) is a target cell into which the MRS will enter, wherein the identity of C (W-1) is the same as the identity of MC (W-1) in the home mobile ring;
for example, when the identifier of C (w) is 2, if the identifier of the cell that the MRS has just switched is 1, assuming that a new home mobile ring is { C (1), C (2), C (3), C (2), C (4), C (2) }, it can be obtained according to step 704 that K is 1, so that C (3) is the target cell into which the MRS will enter.
Step 706, when K is greater than 1, continuing to calculate according to the method of J greater than 1 until predicting the target cell that the MRS will enter;
further, when K is larger than 1, continuing to inquire a cell with the same identification as that of C (W-2) in the home mobile ring, and if a cell with the same identification as that of C (W-2) is inquired in the home mobile ring, assuming that MC (W-2) is used, predicting MC (W +1) in the home mobile ring as a target cell into which the MRS is going to enter; if the identities of two or more cells are the same as the identity of C (W-2) in the home mobile ring, the cell with the identity of C (W-3) needs to be continuously queried in the home mobile ring until the target cell into which the MRS is going to enter can be predicted.
And step 707, when C [ W- (W-1) ] cells are queried and the identities of G cells in the home mobile ring are the same as the identity of C [ W- (W-1) ], predicting that a next cell of any one of the G cells is a target cell to which the MRS will enter.
The basic prediction method is applicable not only to initial prediction but also to repetitive prediction.
Further, a simple method may also be used to predict the target cell into which the MRS will enter, i.e. the extended prediction method:
when the identity of the cell where the MRS is currently located is the same as the identity of the target cell that the MRS is predicted to enter last time, that is, the last prediction is successful, that is, when the identity of c (W) is the same as the identity of MC (W), the target cell that the MRS will enter can be directly predicted to be MC (W +1), where c (W) is the cell where the MRS is currently located, MC (W) is the cell that the MRS will enter last time, and MC (W +1) is the next cell of MC (W) in the home mobile ring;
when the latest prediction fails, the extended prediction method cannot be used for prediction any more, and the basic prediction method can be used for predicting the target cell into which the MRS will enter.
It should be noted that the target cell to which the MRS is predicted to enter may be an MRS prediction, or may be an independent device movement prediction server that predicts the target cell to which the MRS is to enter, where the movement prediction server receives a prediction request sent by the MRS, and the prediction request carries a history of the latest handover, such as a residence time of the MRS in a previous cell, where the previous cell refers to a previous cell of the current cell, an identifier for switching out the previous cell and switching into the current cell, and a time for switching the MRS into the current cell. Then the mobile prediction server completes the prediction according to the received prediction request message and returns the prediction to the MRS through a prediction request response message, wherein the prediction request response message comprises a target cell to which the predicted MRS is to enter and the estimated residence time in the coding cell; or,
specifically, after MRS switches cells, an access controller collects information of each switching, and then sends the information to a mobile prediction server through a mobile prediction request, the mobile prediction server stores the switching information of the MRS, the mobile prediction server performs mobile prediction according to current cell information contained in the mobile prediction request message, and then returns a prediction result to the RNC through a mobile prediction response.
Step 303, the MRS sends a resource reservation request to the target cell, where the resource reservation request includes the number of reserved resources needed by the MRS, the earliest time of using the reserved resources, and the duration of using the reserved resources, and is used to instruct the target cell to allocate the reserved resources for the MRS;
it should be noted that, the access controller may also send the resource reservation request to the target cell, and the access controller receives the movement prediction response sent by the movement prediction server and sends the movement prediction response to the target cell.
Step 304, the target cell receives a resource reservation request sent by the MRS, where the resource reservation request includes the number of reserved resources needed to be used by the MRS, the earliest time of using the reserved resources, and the duration of using the reserved resources;
305, the target cell allocates reserved resources for the MRS connection establishment according to the resource reservation request;
specifically, the base station of the target cell allocates the resource required for the MRS to the MRS according to the current resource usage and the received resource reservation request, and sets the time and duration during which the resource required for the MRS can be used.
Step 306, the target cell sends a reserved resource allocation response to the MRS to indicate that the MRS successfully allocates reserved resources;
after receiving the response of allocating reserved resources, the MRS may switch in the target cell at the earliest time of using the reserved resources, establish a connection using the reserved resources, and also switch in other cells.
Step 307, after the MRS enters a new cell, determining whether the cell where the MRS newly enters is the same as the target cell;
when the MRS moves along with the vehicle and is switched to enter a new cell, it needs to be determined whether the cell where the MRS newly enters is the same as the target cell, because the MRS may enter the predicted target cell, or temporarily enter another cell due to a change in the vehicle operation line, or cause a prediction error due to a local random interference on the mobile network during the operation, so that the new cell where the MRS is switched to enter is different from the predicted cell.
Step 308, when the cell newly entered by the MRS is the same as the target cell, establishing a connection using the reserved resource;
when the MRS newly entered cell is the same as the target cell, it is indicated that the MRS handover enters the cell for which the resources are reserved. It should be noted that, when the MRS makes a handover decision, it preferentially selects a cell for which resources are reserved, and if the cell is not in the neighbor list accessible to the MRS, the MRS selects a new handover cell according to a handover criterion and initiates a handover procedure.
When the cell in which the MRS newly enters and the predicted target cell are the same cell, the connection can be established by using the resources reserved in advance, and the reserved resources meet the quantity of the resources required by the MRS, so that compared with the prior art that the resources are fixedly reserved for the MRS in each cell, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention does not cause resource waste, improves the resource reservation accuracy and improves the resource use efficiency.
Step 309, when the cell that the MRS newly enters is different from the target cell, sending a resource reservation cancellation request to the target cell through the cell that the MRS newly enters, so that the target cell immediately recovers the reserved resource or according to B ═ B0-B0*[Tr(i)-T(i)]/Tr (i) gradually reducing the number of resources of the reserved resources;
wherein B is the gradually reduced resource quantity of the reserved resources, B0For the resource quantity of the reserved resource, Tr (i) is the use duration of the reserved resource, and T (i) is the time which has elapsed from the earliest time of the use of the required resource;
specifically, MRS sends a resource reservation cancellation request to a cell that MRS newly enters, and then after receiving the resource reservation cancellation request, the cell that MRS newly enters sends a resource reservation cancellation request to a target cell, so that the target cell recovers the reserved resources. Compared with the prior art that when MRS is changed because of network change or vehicle operation change, the MRS does not enter the cell reserved with resources and does not recover the resources, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention can automatically recover the reserved resources when MRS does not enter the predicted cell, thereby improving the use efficiency of the resources.
Step 310, the target cell recovers reserved resources;
any of the following may be employed:
the first method is as follows: when receiving a resource reservation cancellation request sent by a newly entered cell of MRS, immediately recovering all reserved resources;
the first method is as follows: gradually decreasing the number of resources of the reserved resource when the MRS does not arrive at the earliest time of use of the reserved resource.
In particular, according to B ═ B0-B0*[Tr(i)-T(i)]/Tr (i) gradually decreasing the number of resources of the reserved resource, wherein B is the gradually decreasing number of resources of the reserved resource, B0Tr (i) is the using time length of the reserved resource, and T (i) is the time which has passed from the earliest time of the required resource using. When it is time for the MRS to use the reserved resources, the reserved resources have been fully reclaimed.
And 311, when the cell switched by the MRS is inconsistent with the predicted target cell, correcting or reacquiring the movement rule of the MRS.
It should be noted that if the vehicle operation changes temporarily, or the network is unstable, etc., all cause a mobile prediction error, so it is important to find and correct the error of the mobile rule in time to improve the prediction accuracy, where the mobile rule is to determine the home cell and the home mobile ring according to the handover record of the MRS. Due to the complexity and randomness of the network, the cost of requiring the complete correct mobile prediction is huge, and in addition, the mobile rule is difficult to judge incorrectly due to one error, so that the complete correct meaning of the identified home mobile ring is ensured to be not large, but the incorrect prediction is meaningless, and the resource waste is caused. Therefore, it is necessary to control errors, and the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides a three-level movement rule checking mechanism to find and correct errors as soon as possible.
The effectiveness of motion prediction is determined by two factors: one is the accuracy in the spatial dimension and one is the accuracy in the temporal dimension. In the prediction of the MRS switching into the cell, the prediction is considered to be accurate only when the predictions at the two latitudes are correct. In the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the prediction accuracy of the spatial dimension is the prediction accuracy of the identifier of the predicted MRS to enter the target cell, and if the identifier of the predicted MRS to enter the target cell is consistent with the identifier of the cell actually entered by handover, the spatial dimension is considered to be accurate. In addition, according to the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the prediction accuracy of the time dimension is the prediction accuracy of the residence time after the MRS is switched into the new cell.
Verifying the validity of the movement prediction, which can be divided into a local verification stage and an overall verification stage; when the MRS is switched into a new cell, local verification is needed, when the new cell switched into by the MRS is consistent with the cell which is predicted to be accessed by the MRS, the latest movement prediction is correct, local correction is not needed, when the new cell switched into by the MRS is inconsistent with the cell which is predicted to be accessed by the MRS, the latest movement prediction is wrong, and an error checking mechanism is started for checking.
When the MRS returns to the home cell, that is, after the prediction with one home mobile ring as the prediction period is finished, the overall verification is performed, at this time, according to the three-level mobility rule checking mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the new cell into which the MRS is switched and the cell into which the predicted MRS enters are checked in sequence, and the three-level mobility rule checking mechanism is described in detail below:
based on the fact that the mobile prediction performed by the home mobile ring is wrong on a plurality of cells in one prediction period, a first-level mobile rule checking mechanism can be adopted firstly:
according to α ═ NOK/NNCalculating the validity of the mobile rule;
wherein α is the validity of the mobile rule indicating the efficiency predicted accurately by the home mobile ring, NOKFor the home mobile ring, the identity of MC (W +1) is the same as the identity of the cell actually entered by the MRS, and the residence time of MC (W +1) is the same as the number of cells where the MRS resides in the cell actually entered, MC (W +1) is the predicted next cell to be entered by the MRS, NNThe number of the cells contained in the home mobile ring;
when α is less than αtThen the home mobile ring is re-determined, wherein αtIs the threshold value of validity of the mobile rule;
note that αtThe setting is carried out according to the practical experience of workers when α is less than αtWhen the mobile ring identification process is started, the mobile ring identification process is restarted, and a new home mobile ring is identified.
When α is more than αtOr α ═ αtAnd then, continuously predicting the next cell to be entered by the MRS according to the home mobile ring.
If the first-level motion rule checking mechanism is considered as a lateral prediction error, the second-level motion rule checking mechanism is considered as a longitudinal error. Such longitudinal errors cannot be found by examining the validity of the movement rules α and therefore cannot be corrected in time. Longitudinal errors, which occur consecutively for the prediction of the same cell in N prediction cycles. There are two main types of possible error types: 1) the home mobile loop is locally interfered randomly, so that spatial or temporal prediction errors are random; 2) the home mobile loop has relatively stable change in local space or time, that is, the actual switched-in cell is the same cell for multiple times, and the residence time lengths are consistent, at this time, a second-level mobile rule checking mechanism may be adopted:
calculating the number of continuous prediction errors when C (W) predicts MC (W +1) to which the MRS is going to enter in a preset number of cycles, wherein C (W) is a preset cell, and MC (W +1) is a predicted next cell to which the MRS is going to enter;
here, the predetermined number of cycles may be set according to actual conditions, and may be, for example, 5 prediction cycles.
When E is larger than Et, stopping predicting MC (W +1) which the MRS is going to enter at C (W), wherein E is the number of times of the continuous prediction errors, and Et is a continuous prediction error threshold value;
et can be set based on the actual experience of the worker.
When E < Et or E ═ Et, the next cell into which the MRS will enter is continuously predicted from the home mobile ring.
The predicted error can be introduced again for the same number of times Es continuously on the basis of the previous error;
when E is larger than Et, calculating the predicted errors continuously the same times when C (W) predicts the MC (W +1) to which the MRS enters in a preset number of cycles;
when Es is larger than Est, updating the cell at the W +1 th position in the attributive mobile ring into the MRS actual switching entering cell; in addition, it is also necessary to update the identifier of the cell at the W +1 th position in the home mobile ring to the identifier of the cell into which the MRS actually switches, and update the residence time of the MRS at the W +1 th position in the home mobile ring to the residence time of the cell into which the MRS actually switches.
Due to the complexity of the network, other random situations may occur to cause inaccurate prediction, and such random prediction errors are difficult to find and correct through the foregoing two mechanisms, so that the manner of not correcting the home mobile ring can be controlled by a third level of error: and directly abandoning the application of the result after finding errors, namely after the MRS is switched into a new cell and the MRS finds that a predicted cell is inconsistent with an actually switched cell, initiating a resource recovery request to the predicted cell through the actually switched cell so as to enable the predicted cell to start the recovery of resources immediately and avoid wasting the resources.
It should be noted that the execution sequence of step 311 is not strictly fixed, and when the MRS newly enters a cell, the consistency between the cell where the MRS newly enters and the cell where the MRS is predicted to enter will be verified, that is, after step 307 is executed, step 311 is executed.
The prediction method provided by the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention can lead the user terminal of MRS needing relaying to search the predicted target cell in advance and synchronize after predicting the next cut-in cell, and can also lead the user terminal to establish connection with the predicted switching target in advance before triggering the switching threshold.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for predicting a target cell, which predicts a target cell into which an MRS is about to enter by acquiring a movement rule of the MRS, and corrects or acquires the movement rule of the MRS again when the cell into which the MRS is switched is inconsistent with the predicted target cell. Compared with the prior art that the prediction accuracy is lower or the next cell into which the MRS is to enter cannot be predicted correctly when the movement of the MRS is predicted, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention can improve the accuracy of predicting the next cell into which the MRS is to enter, reserve resources for the predicted target cell, improve the resource reservation accuracy and improve the resource utilization efficiency.

it should be noted that, by notifying the target cell in advance to reserve appropriate resources for the MRS, the resource reservation accuracy can be improved, and the resource utilization rate can be improved.
After receiving the resource reservation response sent by the target cell, the MRS indicates that the target cell has completed the reservation of resources for the MRS, and the MRS can switch into the target cell.
After the MRS enters a new cell, a determining unit 804 determines whether the cell where the MRS newly enters is the same as the target cell;
when the MRS newly entered cell is the same as the target cell, an establishing unit 805 establishing a connection using the reserved resource; it should be noted that, when the MRS makes a handover decision, it preferentially selects a cell for which resources are reserved, and if the cell is not in the neighbor list accessible to the MRS, the MRS selects a new handover cell according to a handover criterion and initiates a handover procedure.
When the MRS newly entered cell is not in phase with the target cellMeanwhile, a second sending unit 806 is configured to send a resource reservation cancellation request to the target cell through the cell that the MRS newly enters, so that the target cell immediately recovers the reserved resource or according to B-B0-B0*[Tr(i)-T(i)]/Tr (i) gradually reducing the number of resources of the reserved resources;

A mobility verification unit 807 configured to correct or reacquire a mobility rule of the MRS when the cell into which the MRS is handed over does not coincide with the predicted target cell.
When MRS is switched into a new cell, the verification of the validity of the mobile rule is started, and the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention provides a three-level mobile rule checking mechanism to discover errors and correct errors as soon as possible.
It should be noted that the effectiveness of the motion prediction is determined by two factors: one is the accuracy in the spatial dimension and one is the accuracy in the temporal dimension. In the prediction of the MRS switching into the cell, the prediction is considered to be accurate only when the predictions at the two latitudes are correct. In the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the prediction accuracy of the spatial dimension is the prediction accuracy of the identifier of the predicted MRS to enter the target cell, and if the identifier of the predicted MRS to enter the target cell is consistent with the identifier of the cell actually entered by handover, the spatial dimension is considered to be accurate. In addition, according to the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the prediction accuracy of the time dimension is the prediction accuracy of the residence time after the MRS is switched into the new cell. According to the three-level mobility rule checking mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a new cell into which an MRS is switched and a predicted cell into which the MRS enters are checked in sequence, and the three-level mobility rule checking mechanism is specifically described below:

wherein α is the validity of the mobile rule, which indicates the effective rate of the accurate prediction according to the home mobile ring in a prediction period, NOKFor the home mobile ring, the identity of MC (W +1) is the same as the identity of the cell actually entered by the MRS, and the residence time of MC (W +1) is the same as the number of cells where the MRS resides in the cell actually entered, MC (W +1) is the predicted next cell to be entered by the MRS, NNThe number of the cells contained in the home mobile ring;
when α is less than αtThen, the first movement rule correction unit 809 redetermines the home movement ring, wherein αtIs the threshold value of validity of the mobile rule;
note that αtThe setting is carried out according to the practical experience of workers when α is less than αtWhen α > α indicates that the accuracy of the prediction based on the home mobile ring is low and cannot be used for the movement prediction, the home mobile ring identification process is restarted to identify a new home mobile ringtOr α ═ αtAnd then, continuously predicting the next cell to be entered by the MRS according to the home mobile ring.
If the first-level motion rule checking mechanism is considered as a lateral prediction error, the second-level motion rule checking mechanism is considered as a longitudinal error. Such longitudinal errors cannot be found by examining the validity of the movement rules α and therefore cannot be corrected in time. At this time, a second-level movement rule checking mechanism may be adopted for verification and correction: a second movement rule calculating unit 810, configured to calculate, in a predetermined number of cycles, the number of consecutive prediction errors when c (W) predicts MC (W +1) to which the MRS is going to enter, where c (W) is a preset cell and MC (W +1) is a predicted next cell to which the MRS is going to enter;

Due to the complexity of the network, other random situations may occur to cause inaccurate prediction, and such random prediction errors are difficult to find and correct through the foregoing two mechanisms, so that the manner of not correcting the home mobile ring can be controlled by a third level of error: and directly abandoning the application of the result after finding errors, namely after the MRS is switched into a new cell and the MRS finds that a predicted cell is inconsistent with an actually switched cell, initiating a resource recovery request to the predicted cell through the actually switched cell so as to enable the predicted cell to start the recovery of resources immediately and avoid wasting the resources.
