Embodiment
Embodiment of the present invention Relay node determination causes the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur; Relay node carries out hand-off process to the subscriber equipment that is connected to self.Because Relay node is after determining the reason appearance that causes wireless backhaul interruption, the subscriber equipment that is connected to self is carried out to hand-off process, thereby avoid, because Relay cannot obtain the problem that wireless backhaul causes the UE communication disruption of access Relay, having improved signal transmission quality and efficiency of transmission.
Below in conjunction with Figure of description, the embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.
As shown in Figure 2, the method that embodiment of the present invention Relay node switches UE comprises the following steps:
Step 201, Relay node determination cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur;
Step 202, Relay node are carried out hand-off process to the subscriber equipment that is connected to self.
Preferably, if Relay node is mobile Relay node, the situation whether reason that judgement causes wireless backhaul link backhaul to interrupt occurs has a lot, describes respectively below:
It is about to enter the region that does not have DeNB to cover the service DeNB notice Relay node of situation one, Relay node.
Concrete, if Relay node receives from the area of coverage that shifts out of serving BS and indicates, determine and cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur, wherein shifting out area of coverage indication is that serving BS is less than first threshold at the signal quality value of determining the Donor Serving cell that Relay node receives, and do not have to send after can the community for the service of Relay node.
Situation two, Relay are judged and are about to enter the region that does not have DeNB to cover by reading the information of eating dishes without rice or wine.
For situation two, be divided into again two kinds of modes:
The Donor cell signal mass value of mode one, Relay node determination current service is less than Second Threshold, and can't detect signal quality and be greater than the 3rd threshold value, corresponding PCI in PCI set Zhong community, determine and cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur, wherein PCI set comprises PCI that can be corresponding as the community of Donor community.
In force, when the network planning, for doing the reserved specific PCI set in community of Donor; Then, Donor cell determines the PCI of oneself from reserved PCI set.
Concrete, the mutual selected PCI of this community and adjacent cell, if there is the situation of PCI conflict to occur, a side who conflicts in both sides adjusts, from reserved PCI set, a PCI is selected in gravity treatment; Otherwise, just use selected PCI.
In LTE system, one has 504 available PCI, its can be in certain geographic range unique identification Yi Ge community.Wherein, N in 504 available PCI (such as 20) can be kept for to Donor Cell, when Relay carries out signal measurement, can obtain the PCI of surveyed cell, if PCI belongs to the PCI that keeps for Donor Cell, this Cell can be selected as Donor cell, is the service of Relay node; Otherwise, can not be the service of Relay node.
Relay node is less than after Second Threshold at the Donor cell signal mass value of determining current service, detect the community that all signal qualitys are greater than the 3rd threshold value, and judge that PCI corresponding to these communities is whether in PCI set, if there is no corresponding PCI whether in PCI set, determine and cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur, if had, report measurement result to current service Donor cell, service Donor cell will trigger relay and switch.
The Donor cell signal mass value of mode two, Relay node determination current service is less than Second Threshold, and can't detect in the system message that signal quality is greater than the 4th threshold value, broadcast and comprise the community of supporting RN indication information, determine and cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur.
In force, increase and support RN indication in system message, this indication is broadcasted in the community that can be used as donor cell in system message.
The Donor cell signal mass value of Relay node determination current service is less than after Second Threshold, detect the system message that all signal qualitys are greater than the Cell Broadcast CB of the 4th threshold value, if neither one comprises the community of supporting RN indication information in the system message of broadcast, determine and cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur; Otherwise report measurement result is given current service Donor cell, service Donor cell will trigger relay and switch.
Wherein, the signal quality in the embodiment of the present invention refers to that receiving terminal detects the quality of the wireless signal receiving.
Preferably, for mode two for fear of too much fetching adjacent domain system message, Relay can adopt the community of selecting to need with the following method read system message: Relay is after analysis to measure result, select the good non-service cell of signal quality, read its system message, to determine whether it carries, support RN indication (whether can be used as donor cell access).
Concrete, Relay node read signal quality is greater than the system message of other communities except the Donor community of service of the 4th threshold value.
Preferably, if Relay node is fixing Relay node, the situation whether reason that judgement causes wireless backhaul link backhaul to interrupt occurs has a lot, describes respectively below:
The quality of situation one, the wireless backhaul of Relay node determination is less than the 5th threshold value, determines and causes the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur.
Situation two, Relay node determination need to discharge wireless backhaul, determine and cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur.
In force, the threshold value in above-mentioned situation can be as required, emulation etc. sets.
Preferably, in step 202, when Relay node carries out hand-off process to the subscriber equipment that is connected to self, can adopt a kind of Target cell of selecting hand-off process in following manner:
The Target cell that switch as subscriber equipment the Donor community of Relay node selection self current service; Or
Relay node is according to the mobility measurements result of self, for subscriber equipment is selected the Target cell of switching;
Relay node is according to the mobility measurements result of user equipment to report, for subscriber equipment is selected the Target cell of switching.
As shown in Figure 3, the method that embodiment of the present invention base station notice Relay node switches UE comprises the following steps:
Step 301, the base station of serving for Relay node determine that the signal quality value of Relay node is less than after first threshold, and judging whether can be as the community of the alms giver Donor community for the service of Relay node;
Step 302, base station are after determining the community that does not have to serve for Relay node, to Relay node, send and shift out area of coverage indication, be used to indicate Relay node and cause the reason that wireless backhaul interrupts to occur, Relay node carries out hand-off process to the subscriber equipment connecting.
The signal quality value of the Relay node is here the signal quality value that the Relay node that receives reports, and Relay node provides the signal quality value of wireless backhaul.
In force, base station judges whether to have for the mode of the community of Relay node service a variety of, enumerates several below:
One, base station basis is from OAM(Operations and Maintenance, operation and maintenance) in the Neighboring Cell List of equipment for each base station configuration, indicate adjacent area whether to can be used as the information of Donor community, judge whether can be the community of Relay node service.
Concrete, whether OAM equipment indicates the adjacent area can be as Donor cell in the Neighboring Cell List for each eNB configuration, and such as employing, 1bit indicates corresponding adjacent area whether to can be used as Donor cell.For example " 1 " is passable, and " 0 " is cannot.
Two, base station is according to whether can, as the information of donor base station DeNB, judging whether can be the community of Relay node service from other base stations.
Concrete, while setting up X2 interface between eNB, whether oneself can be used as the information of DeNB alternately.Concrete can be in the message of existing X2 process of establishing, and the Donor that increases 1bit indicates this eNB whether to can be used as DeNBl.For example " 1 " is passable, and " 0 " is cannot.Or
In eNB configuration update message, whether oneself can be used as the information of DeNB alternately.Specifically can be in existing eNB config update request message, the Donor that increases 1bit indicates this eNB whether to can be used as DeNB.For example " 1 " is passable, and " 0 " is cannot.
In force, whether base station sends self can be as the information of donor base station DeNB by X2 interface.
X2 interface is the interface between base station, completes the processing of user data transmission, user data and signaling between base station etc.
For above-mentioned several situations, enumerating several examples below describes.
It is about to enter the region that does not have DeNB to cover the service DeNB notice Relay of example one, Relay.

The service DeNB of step 402, Relay node receives the measurement report that Relay sends;
The service DeNB of step 403, Relay node analyzes the measurement report that Relay node reports, if Relay has been less than first threshold in this cell signal quality, further judgement has the Donor cell that can be used as Target cell.As do not have, perform step 404; If any, can trigger Relay and switch.
It may shift out the DeNB area of coverage step 404, service DeNB notice Relay node;
Above-mentioned service DeNB determines that a kind of possible implementation method of the Donor cell that not can be used as Target cell is: according to the measurement report of Relay, service DeNB finds that the current service cell signal quality of Relay has been less than first threshold, and measurement report shows, in the community of signal quality better (such as signal quality is greater than first threshold), not can be used as the community of Donor cell.
The service DeNB of Relay node sends and shifts out after area of coverage indication to Relay, optional, and Relay node returns to ACK(to DeNB and confirms) response.
Step 405: when Relay node is confirmed to be about to enter the region that there is no DeNB covering, Relay node is descended the UE of service to be switched to suitable Target cell.The switching flow adopting can be continued to use existing UE switching flow, repeats no more herein.Specific to choosing of UE switching target small area, Relay node can adopt any one or the multiple combination in following implementation:
The target cell that Relay node selects own current service Donor cell to switch as UE;
Relay node, according to the mobility measurements result of oneself, is UE select target cell, and for example Relay is according to the own measurement result to each community of network, and the good communities of Information Selection signal quality such as the load of each community are as the switching target cell of UE;
The mobility measurements result that Relay node reports according to UE, for UE select target cell(identical with the selection mechanism of existing target cell), for example UE reports the own measurement result to each community of network, Relay node reports the signal of Ge community based on UE, the good communities of Information Selection signal quality such as the load of each community are as the switching target cell of UE.
Whether except indicating the adjacent area can be as Donor cell in the Neighboring Cell List of OAM equipment for each eNB configuration, in step 401, in the time of can also setting up X2 interface between eNB, whether oneself can be used as the information of DeNB alternately; Can also be in eNB configuration update message, whether oneself can be used as the information of DeNB alternately.

Step 1: when the network planning, for doing the reserved specific PCI(Physical Cell ID in community of Donor, physical cell identity) set;
Step 2:Donor cell determines the PCI of oneself from reserved PCI set;
Step 3:Relay node, by the measuring process of eating dishes without rice or wine, is determined the PCI that community can be detected.If when current service Donor cell signal variation, it is good that Relay node can not detect a signal quality, and PCI belongs to the community of above-mentioned reserved set, and Relay node judges that it is about to enter the region that does not have DeNB to cover.
Step 4: identical with the step 405 of example one.
Example three, Relay node are judged and are about to enter the region that does not have DeNB to cover by reading the system message of eating dishes without rice or wine:
Step 1: increase in system message and support RN indication, this indication is broadcasted in the community that can be used as Donor cell in system message;
Corresponding indication in step 2:Relay node read system message, and in conjunction with eating dishes without rice or wine measurement result, judge whether to be about to enter the region that does not have DeNB to cover.If when current service Donor cell signal variation, it is good that Relay node can not detect a signal quality, and the community of broadcast support RN indication, Relay judges that it is about to enter the region that does not have DeNB to cover.
