Description

Measurement information reporting, processing method and device, terminal, base station

technical field

The present invention relates to a measurement information reporting technology, in particular to a measurement information reporting and processing method and device, a terminal, and a base station applicable to an Internet of Things system.

Background technique

In traditional mobile communication services, the location of the terminal is constantly moving. In order to ensure that the terminal can continue to work in the mobile state, the terminal needs to periodically detect the signal strength of multiple neighboring cells. When the reference signal strength of the serving cell is enhanced and the reference signal strength of the serving cell is weakened, the terminal will start the handover process, send a test report to the current serving base station, and then the base station sends a handover request to the mobile switching center, and finally completes the handover action.

The decision of the network on handover and power control depends on the report of the downlink measurement sent by the mobile station (MS, Mobile Station) to the network periodically, and the report of the base station on the uplink measurement. These two measurement reports will be sent to the A base station controller (BSC, Base Station Controller) makes a decision. In order to establish a pre-synchronized handover relationship with its neighboring cells, the mobile station must listen to the broadcast control channel (BCCH) of its neighboring cells according to the indication of the system message carried by the downlink Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH, Slow Associated Control Channel) of the serving cell. , Broadcast Control Channel).

For IoT terminals and IoT services, the situation is different from traditional mobile communication services. For some applications (such as fixed-point video surveillance, parking lot control gate, agricultural environment monitoring, etc.), the mobility of the terminal is low, and the terminal is in a fixed position after the equipment is installed and debugged. Under such application conditions, the network and terminals do not need to provide strong mobility support. The current communication system requires the base station and the terminal to perform a measurement every 470ms or 480ms. The uplink measurement value is obtained by the base station of the serving cell, including: the uplink reception level (ULRxLev) and reception quality (ULRxQal) of the MS; the downlink measurement value is obtained by the MS Obtain and report, including the downlink receiving level (DLRxLev) and receiving quality (DLRxQal) of the serving cell, the downlink receiving level (NCellRxLev) of the adjacent cell, the receiving power ms_power of the mobile station, etc.; also includes the measurement of timing advance value etc. Such measurements must be performed even when the terminal is in idle state (IDLE). For IoT terminals with fixed locations, the measurement of the above parameters is meaningless and will only increase the power consumption and network load of the terminals.

Detailed ways

The basic idea of the present invention is: after the low-mobility terminal determines to access the serving cell, it directly reports the cell-related measurement parameters to the serving cell without performing cell-related measurement, and the reported cell-related measurement parameters are all invalid preset values.

In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail by citing the following embodiments and referring to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the measurement information report method of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 1, the measurement information report method of the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

Step 101, the terminal accesses the network.

The present invention is mainly aimed at IoT terminals with low mobility. The IoT terminal accesses the network and determines the main serving base station for accessing the terminal.

Step 102, start a timer.

In this step, the timer mainly sets the time period for reporting measurement information, that is, the IoT terminal only reports measurement-related information within the time period of the timer, and does not perform measurement-related information within the time period beyond the timer report. The duration and opening of the timer can be controlled by the network side, or it can be pre-configured in the IoT terminal.

In step 103, it is determined that the timing period T of the timer is within.

It is determined whether the timer is timed out, and if it is not timed out, step 104 is executed; otherwise, follow-up processing is performed, that is, no measurement-related information is reported. The time T can be set arbitrarily as required.

Step 104, setting measurement-related parameters to preset invalid values.

After the Internet of Things terminal is connected to the network, the handover-related signals are not measured. That is, the IoT terminal does not measure the downlink signal reception level (DLRxLev) of the serving cell, the downlink signal reception quality (DLRxQal) of the serving cell, the downlink signal reception level (NCellRxLev) of the neighboring cell, and the received power ms_power of the terminal, but directly measures The downlink reception level measurement result (DLRxLev) of the serving cell is set to maxDLRxLev (that is, the maximum value of DLRxLev that can be represented by the transmitted byte), and the reception quality measurement result (DLRxQal) is set to maxDLRxQal (that is, the DLRxQal that can be represented by the transmitted byte The maximum value), the downlink reception level measurement result (NCellRxLev) of the adjacent cell is set to 0, and ms_power is set to 0.

Certainly, in the present invention, the downlink signal reception level (DLRxLev) of the serving cell, the downlink signal reception quality (DLRxQal) of the serving cell, the downlink signal reception level (NCellRxLev) of the neighboring cell, and the reception level of the terminal are not limited. The invalid value of the power ms_power may also be other invalid values, such as setting the values of the above parameters to agreed values.

Step 105, report the measurement result by using a signaling message on the SACCH channel.

In the present invention, the terminal still reports through the SACCH channel within the time period T after successfully accessing the network. For the four values of DLRxLev, DLRxQal, NCellRxLev, and ms_power, DLRxLev and DLRxQal are reported at the maximum value, and NCellRxLev and ms_power are reported at the minimum value of 0 . After the time period T expires, the terminal no longer reports the cell-related measurement parameters, that is, no longer reports the above parameters.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a measurement information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , the measurement information reporting method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

In step 201, a terminal accesses a network.

The present invention is mainly aimed at IoT terminals with low mobility. The IoT terminal accesses the network and determines the main serving base station for accessing the terminal.

Step 202, the receiving terminal reports the measurement value on the SACCH channel.

The IoT terminal does not measure the downlink signal reception level (DLRxLev) of the serving cell, the downlink signal reception quality (DLRxQal) of the serving cell, the downlink signal reception level (NCellRxLev) of the adjacent cell, and the received power ms_power of the terminal, but directly uses the service The downlink reception level measurement result (DLRxLev) of the cell is set to maxDLRxLev (that is, the maximum value of DLRxLev that can be represented by the transmitted byte), and the reception quality measurement result (DLRxQal) is set to maxDLRxQal (that is, the maximum value of the DLRxQal that can be represented by the transmitted byte). The maximum value), the downlink reception level measurement result (NCellRxLev) of the adjacent cell is set to 0, and ms_power is set to 0.

Step 203, determine whether the measurement value reported by the terminal is an invalid value, if so, execute step 204, otherwise execute step 205.

The base station receives the measurement message reported by the IoT terminal, and checks whether at least one of DLRxLev, DLRxQal, NCellRxLev, and ms_power is an invalid value or both are invalid, or DLRxLev, DLRxQal is the maximum value and at least one of NCellRxLev, ms_power is invalid value or both are 0, the base station gives up measuring uplink-related handover signals, that is, the base station does not measure parameters such as ULRxLev and ULRxQal.

Step 204, do not process or discard related measurement results.

The base station does not process the relevant measurement results reported by the IoT terminal, or discards the relevant measurement results.

Step 205, the base station measures ULRxLev and ULRxQal on the uplink channel.

Of course, if the relevant measurement parameters reported by the IoT terminal are not invalid values set above, the base station will measure ULRxLev and ULRxQal on the uplink channel and perform normal follow-up processing.

In the present invention, after the terminal accesses the network, it always communicates with the main serving base station. If severe interference or disconnection occurs, and the terminal cannot communicate with the main serving base station, the terminal will re-enter the network search mode.

The terminal reports the measurement result within the time T after successfully accessing the network, and the time T can be set arbitrarily. After the time T is exceeded, the measurement results will not be reported. The measurement results are all set to invalid values. Specifically, the downlink reception level measurement result (DLRxLev) of the serving cell can be set to maxDLRxLev (that is, the maximum value of DLRxLev that can be represented by the transmitted bytes), the reception quality measurement result (DLRxQal) Set to maxDLRxQal (that is, the maximum value of DLRxQal that can be represented by the transmitted byte), set the downlink reception level measurement result (NCellRxLev) of the adjacent cell to 0, and set ms_power to 0.

The base station receives the measurement message reported by the terminal, and checks whether one of DLRxLev, DLRxQal, NCellRxLev, and ms_power is an invalid value. If one of the conditions that DLRxLev, DLRxQal is the maximum value and NCellRxLev, and ms_power are both 0 is satisfied, the base station discards the above cell Relevant measurement parameters may not be processed. Of course, as an optional processing manner, the base station may also set ULRxLev and ULRxQal to maximum values before performing subsequent processing.

Although the present invention is described by taking an Internet of Things terminal as an example, it is not limited to an Internet of Things terminal, and any terminal with low mobility can be applied to the technical solution of the present invention.
