In LTE and eHRPD systems, system access Equipment informs a UE (User Equipment) of information of other systems nearby through a broadcast message, where the information includes an intersystem reselection priority, and the UE re-accesses to a high-priority system that meets a certain requirement according to a reselection rule. Generally, the data throughput rate of the LTE system is higher than that of the eHRPD system, and the LTE system has a higher priority than the eHRPD system in the common priority. In the prior art, in order to solve load balancing between different frequencies or different systems, when the load of the LTE system is high, the network may set a dedicated priority of a part of UEs, so that the priority of the eHRPD system is higher than that of the LTE system, and thus the part of UEs with dedicated priorities may be re-accessed to a cell of the eHRPD system based on a reselection rule, thereby implementing load control and achieving the purpose of load balancing between systems.
However, in the area covered by both the LTE system and the eHRPD system, if the LTE load increases, the UE reselects or switches to the eHRPD system according to the existing method for setting the dedicated priority, and enters an idle state, because the priority of the LTE system is higher than that of the eHRPD system in the common priority, the UE switches back to the LTE system again according to the reselection rule, so the prior art method cannot realize effective control of the load between the systems, and cannot effectively balance the loads of the two systems.

Detailed Description
In the prior art, in an area covered by both LTE and eHRPD systems, a system Access device, such as an evolved Access Network (eAN) of the eHRPD system, notifies UE of reselection priorities of different carrier frequencies of the LTE system through a broadcast message, and the UE in an idle state selects a carrier frequency for re-Access according to the reselection priorities of the different carrier frequencies of the LTE system. For example, in the LTE system, the reselection priority of a certain carrier frequency is high, and the signal strength or quality is greater than a threshold, the UE may select the carrier frequency for re-access. In the process, the UE cannot obtain the load condition of the LTE system, and whether the LTE system allows the access of the LTE system is not considered, so that the method is likely to cause higher load of the LTE system.
Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention obtains the access condition information, such as load information and access restriction information, of the access device of the different system through the access device of the network system, and informs the information to the UE, so that when the UE performs reselection, it can determine whether to perform reselection according to the access condition information. The method realizes the load control among systems by controlling the reselection of the UE, and achieves the aim of balancing the load among the systems.
In order to make the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention better understood and make the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more comprehensible, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a method for controlling inter-system load according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown.
The method can comprise the following steps:
step 101, a first access device of a first network system obtains access condition information of a second access device of a second network system.
The first network system may be an eHRPD system, the second network system may be an LTE system, or certainly, the first network system may be an LTE system, the second network system is an eHRPD system, or other two types of network systems, which is not limited specifically herein.
The first access device of the first network system may obtain the access condition information of the second access device of the second network system through an interface message, such as a private interface message or an open interface message between the first and second access devices, and may of course also carry the access condition information through other messages, or forward the access condition information to the first access device through a third party; or the platform providing the access condition information forwards the access condition information to the first access device.
The access condition information is used to characterize a condition that the second access device of the second network system allows the UE to access, and may be, for example, load information and/or access restriction information of the second access device, so that the UE determines whether to re-access the second network system according to the access condition information.
The first and second names are only used to distinguish two different networks or different devices with the same name, and are not specific or limited.
Step 102, the first access device sends access condition information to the UE, so that the UE determines whether to re-access the second network system according to the access condition information, that is, determines whether to select the second network system for re-access.
The first access device obtains the access condition information of the second access device, and then sends the access condition information to the UE, specifically, the first access device may directly send a message including the access condition information to the UE, or may convert a specific form representing the access condition information and then send the converted message to the UE, for example, convert a relevant parameter representing the access condition information, such as converting capacity level into reselection factor, but the conversion does not affect the essential content of the access condition information, and the UE may obtain the condition that the second access device of the second network system allows the UE to access. The sending method may be broadcast or one-to-one sending, the access condition information may be carried by an existing broadcast message, or may be an independent message, and a specific form thereof is not limited as long as the access condition information can be transmitted to the UE. In the embodiment of the present invention, the UE is located in an area covered by both the first network system and the second network system, and may be an idle UE.
The embodiment of the invention obtains the access condition information of the access equipment of the different system through the access equipment of the network system and informs the information to the UE, so that the UE can determine whether to select the different system for re-access or not by referring to the access condition information. The method realizes the load control among the systems by controlling the reselection of the UE, can balance the load of the systems, improves the utilization rate of resources and improves the user experience.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for controlling inter-system load according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown.
In this embodiment, the UE is located in an area commonly covered by the first network system and the second network system, and the method may include:
step 201, the UE receives access condition information of a second access device of a second network system, which is sent by a first access device of a first network system.
Step 202, the UE determines whether to select the second network system for re-access according to the access condition information.
Optionally, the determining, by the UE, whether to select the second network system for re-access according to the access condition information may include:
if the load information of the access condition information comprises the capacity grade, the UE generates a first random number;
and when the first random number is less than or equal to the capacity grade, the UE selects the second network system for re-access.
Optionally, the determining, by the UE, whether to select the second network system for re-access according to the access condition information may include:
if the access limiting information of the access condition information comprises an access limiting factor, access limiting time and limited access type information, when the access type of the UE is an individual specified type and belongs to the limited access type, the UE does not select a second network system for re-access within the access limiting time; and when the access type of the UE is a random judgment type, the UE generates a second random number, and when the second random number is larger than the access limiting factor, the UE does not select a second network system for re-access within the access limiting time.
Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a method for controlling inter-system load according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown.
In this embodiment, a first network system is an eHRPD system, and a second network system is an LTE system, for example, where a UE is located in an area covered by both the eHRPD system and the LTE system. The method can comprise the following steps:
step 301, an eAN of the eHRPD system acquires load information of an eNB (evolved Node B) of the LTE system.
In this embodiment, the access device eAN of the eHRPD system may acquire the access condition information of the access device eNB of the LTE system by the following method:
for a multimode Base Station, a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and an eNB of an eHRPD system are the same physical device, the eHRPD system and the LTE system share the same BTS, and an acquires access condition information of the eNB of the LTE system through an internal private interface (such as an Abis interface) message with the BTS; or,
if the BTS of the eHRPD and the eNB are not the same physical equipment, the eAN acquires the access condition information of the eNB of the LTE system through a private interface message of the eNB; or,
obtaining access condition information of an eNB of an LTE system by defining open interface messages of the eAN and the eNB, for example, the eNB of the LTE system sends an access condition information message carrying the eNB to the eAN; or,
the eNB of the LTE system transmits access condition information to an MME (Mobility management entity) through an S1-MME interface, and the MME forwards the access condition information to the eAN through an S101 interface.
And the eNB of the LTE system reports the access condition information to the operation maintenance system, and the eAN acquires the access condition information reported by the eNB from the operation maintenance system.
Of course, the eAN may also obtain the access condition information of the eNB of the LTE system through other manners, which is not described herein again. In this embodiment, the access condition information may specifically be load information.
Step 302, the eAN broadcasts an enhanced otherratneighhborst message over the air interface, where the enhanced otherratneighhborst message includes load information of the eNB of the LTE system.
In the prior art, the eHRPD system has defined a otherRATNeighborlist message for delivering information of neighboring inter-system cells to UEs under the system, including a common priority for intersystem reselection. In this embodiment, the eAN simultaneously delivers the load information of the eNB of the LTE system to the UE through an enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message.
Specifically, the following information may be added to the end reserved field of the otherRATNeighborlist message:
a loadlnfoadded field for indicating whether load information is contained, the field being 0 or 1 bit. If the message subsequently contains load information, 1 is set, otherwise 0 is set.
Meanwhile, for each carrier frequency, the following fields are added:
and a capacitycoss field for indicating the capacity class of the system, specifically, the capacity class may be an available capacity percentage, and the value is 0 to 100. This field is 0 or 7 bits. If LoadInfoIncluded =1, the CapacityClass field is included.
By adding the loadinfolncluded field and the capacitycolass field to the end of the original otherRATNeighborlist message, the load information of the eNB can be carried in the otherRATNeighborlist message, and an enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message is formed. The eAN broadcasts the enhanced message over the air interface.
In another embodiment, the eAN may also convert the obtained capacity level of the LTE system into a reselection factor, and then send the reselection factor to the UE through an enhanced othernatneighborlist message. The reselection factor represents the probability that the LTE system can be re-accessed, and may be expressed as a percentage or an integer.
In another embodiment, if the first network system is an HRPD system, the access device of the system may also send the access condition information of the access device of the second network system to the UE by using the enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message.
Step 303, the UE determines whether to re-access the LTE system according to the load information in the enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message.
If the LoadInfoIncluded field obtained in the enhanced otherRATNeighborst message is 1, the CapacityClass field is further read by the UE, and the accessible capacity level or reselection factor in the LTE system is obtained.
In this embodiment, after obtaining the capacity class, as shown in fig. 4, the UE may determine whether to re-access to the LTE system by the following method:
in step 401, if the load information of the access condition information includes a capacity class, the UE generates a first random number.
The UE generates a first random number of 0-1 uniformly distributed according to a random number generation method specified by a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) HRPD specification. The "first" is only to distinguish from the random number generated subsequently, and is not limited.
Step 402, when the first random number is less than or equal to the capacity grade, the UE selects the LTE system to perform re-access.
If the random number is smaller than the capacity grade, the LTE system has enough capacity, the UE is allowed to switch in, and the UE selects the LTE system to perform re-access at the moment. If the random number is larger than the capacity level, the UE does not select the LTE system to perform re-access, but is still in the eHRPD system.
In another embodiment, if the load information of the access condition information includes a reselection factor, the UE may also generate a random number, and then determine whether to select the LTE system for re-access by comparing the random number with the size of the reselection factor.
In addition, the UE may directly perform the above steps 401 to 402 according to the load information in the enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message, and then perform a procedure of re-accessing to LTE. Or according to the fields, such as the field indicating the priority and the field indicating the signal strength or quality, that are preposed in the enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message, first determining that the UE can re-access to a certain carrier frequency of the LTE system, and then performing the above steps 401 to 402 for determination.
The access equipment of the eHRPD system acquires the load information of the access equipment of the LTE system, and informs the load information to the UE through the enhanced otherRATNeighborst message, so that the UE can determine whether to select the LTE system for re-access according to the load information. The method realizes the load control between the eHRPD system and the LTE system by controlling the reselection of the UE, and can balance the loads of the two systems.
Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart of a fourth embodiment of the method for controlling inter-system load according to the present invention is shown.
In this embodiment, the first network system is still an eHRPD system, and the second network system is an LTE system, for example, where the UE is located in an area covered by both the eHRPD system and the LTE system. The method can comprise the following steps:
step 501, an eAN of the eHRPD system acquires access restriction information of an eNB of the LTE system.
In this step, the method for the eAN to acquire the access restriction information may be the same as the method for the eAN to acquire the load information in step 301 of the foregoing embodiment, and is not described herein again.
Step 502, the eAN broadcasts an enhanced otherratneighhborlist message over the air interface, where the enhanced otherratneighhborlist message includes access restriction information of the eNB.
In this embodiment, the access restriction information may also be carried by an enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message, and specifically, the following information may be added to an end reserved field of the existing otherRATNeighborlist message:
an acbinreserved field for indicating whether access restriction information is included, the field being 0 or 1 bit. If the message subsequently contains access restriction information, 1 is set, otherwise 0 is set.
Meanwhile, for each carrier frequency, the following fields are added:
ACBFactor (ACB factor, i.e. access restricted factor), this field is 0 or 4 bits. If ACBIncluded =1, the ACBFactor field is included. The field value represents, in order from 0 to 15, ACB factors of 0,5%,10%,15%,20%,25%,30%,40%,50%,60%,70%,75%,80%,85%,90%, 95%.
ACBTime (ACB time, i.e. access restricted time), this field is 0 or 3 bits. If ACBIncluded =1, the ACBTime field is included. Indicating that the access restricted time is 2^ (ACBtime +2) seconds, i.e. the field value represents the reception restricted time from 0 to 7 in turn to be 4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512 seconds.
Acbfor special AC (restricted information of a special AC, i.e., restricted access type information), which is 0 or 5 bits. This field is included if ACBIncluded = 1. The left side represents AC11, and the right side represents AC12 to AC 15. If a position 1, for example, the first bit on the left is 1, the users belonging to the AC11 represented by the bit are limited and cannot re-access the LTE system. If a bit is 0, e.g. the second left bit is 0, this indicates that the user belonging to AC12 represented by the bit can perform reselection to LTE, i.e. reselection can be performed according to the common priority and the signal conditions of LTE.
By adding the above field at the end of the original otherRATNeighborlist message, the access restriction information of the eNB can be carried in the otherRATNeighborlist message, and an enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message is formed. The eAN broadcasts the enhanced message over the air interface.
Step 503, the UE determines whether to re-access to the LTE system according to the access restriction information in the enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message.
If the UE obtains the ACBIncluded field as 1 in the enhanced otherRATNeighborst message, the UE further reads the access restricted factor, the access restricted time and the restricted access type information field.
If the access restriction information includes an access restriction factor, an access restriction time, and restricted access type information, the UE may perform reselection when the access type of the UE is a separately specified type, for example, belongs to between AC11 and AC15, and does not belong to a restricted access type. If the LTE system belongs to the restricted access type, the UE cannot select the LTE system for re-access within the access restricted time (ACBTime). The determination may be made again after the access-limited time has elapsed.
When the access type of the UE is a random judgment type, for example, the UE belongs to a range from AC0 to AC9, if the field value of the access restricted factor is 0, the UE does not select the LTE system for re-access within the access restricted time, and can judge again according to the access restricted information broadcast by the eAN outside the access restricted time; if the field value of the access restricted factor is not 0, the UE generates a uniformly distributed second random number of 0-1 according to a random number generation method specified by a CDMA HRPD specification, and when the second random number is less than or equal to the access restricted factor, the UE can select the LTE system to perform re-access. And if the second random number is larger than the access limited factor, the LTE system is not selected to be accessed again within the access limited time, and the random number can be generated again outside the access limited time for judgment.
Regarding the AC (Access Class, Access type) of the UE, in the LTE system, the AC is no longer distinguished to be in a Class of 0 to 9, users in the 10 classes uniformly adopt a randomized determination mode (that is, the UE type is a random determination type), and the UE determines whether the UE can Access the UE; the 10-15 levels are respectively and individually assigned (i.e. the UE type is an individually assigned type) in a UMTS (Universal Mobile telecommunications system) manner.
In addition, the UE may directly perform the above step 503 according to the access restriction information in the enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message, and then select the LTE system for re-access. Or, according to the fields, such as the field indicating the priority and the field indicating the signal strength or quality, that are pre-positioned in the enhanced otherRATNeighborlist message, first, it is determined that the UE can re-access to a certain carrier frequency of the LTE system, and then the above step 503 is performed to determine. The step of judging whether to select another system for re-access by the UE can also be applied to other network systems, which are not limited to the eHRPD system and the LTE system.
The access equipment of the eHRPD system acquires the access restriction information of the access equipment of the LTE system, and informs the access restriction information to the UE through the enhanced otherRATNeighborst message, so that the UE can determine whether to select the LTE system for re-access according to the access restriction information. The method realizes the load control between the eHRPD system and the LTE system by controlling the reselection of the UE, and can balance the loads of the two systems.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the access condition information may also include load information and access restriction information, and in a specific implementation, the UE may optionally select one of the information for reselection determination, or may specify information referred to by the UE in a message carrying the access condition information; the UE may also refer to the two pieces of information at the same time, and as long as any one piece of information indicates that the UE cannot select the different system for re-access, the UE cannot access the different system.
Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the techniques of the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as software plus a required general purpose hardware platform. Based on such understanding, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention may be essentially or partially implemented in the form of a software product, which may be stored in a storage medium, such as ROM/RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk, etc., and includes several instructions for enabling a computer device (which may be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute the method according to the embodiments or some parts of the embodiments.
