Description

Configuration information processing method, device and communication system

Technical Field

The present invention relates to communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a communications system for processing configuration information.

Background

At present, the channel bandwidth of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is fixed, and in order to adapt to different frequency band bandwidths, a scalable UMTS (scalable UMTS, abbreviated as S-UMTS, or may be referred to as F-UMTS: Fractional UMTS part UMTS) is introduced, where S-UMTS mainly refers to a UMTS technology with a channel bandwidth of 1/N of UMTS standard channel bandwidth (4.2 MHz at 5MHz or lower), where N is a scaling factor, and the value of N may be 2, 4, 0.5, and so on. The architecture of the S-UMTS is the same as that of the UMTS, and the S-UMTS can share a base station or a Radio Network Controller (RNC) with a UMTS cell.

The current standard UMTS chip rate is 3.84 mega chips per second (3.84Mchip/s) with a radio frame length of 10ms, based on which the standard UMTS design makes protocol specifications and implementations. The chip rate of the S-UMTS is (1/N) × 3.84Mchip/S, and the impact on the existing protocol and implementation is reduced by means of scaling the time dimension, that is, the content and the number of chips transmitted by each frame of a channel specified in the existing protocol are not changed, only the absolute time is lengthened or shortened, each radio frame is N × 10ms, and the unified processing is performed on the User Equipment (UE for short) and the network side processing related parameters, such as the radio frame length, the time slot length, and the like.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The embodiment of the invention is suitable for Wireless networks such as UMTS, Global System for mobile communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Code Division Multiple Access 2000 (CDMA 2000), Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), Wireless Local area network (Wireless Local area networks, WLAN)/Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and especially for Wireless systems with parameter scaling requirements.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a first configuration information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the configuration information processing method according to the embodiment includes:

step 101, obtaining a cell scaling parameter.

And 102, adopting the scaling parameters to scale the configured or stored parameters.

The main body of the above steps may be a configuration information processing apparatus, and the configuration information processing apparatus may be a base station or a UE, or the apparatus may be provided on the base station or the UE.

In the prior art, when a network side device such as an RNC configures a parameter in units of time for a base station or a UE, the network side device modifies a parameter value of the parameter according to, for example, a scaling factor N or a channel bandwidth in an S-UMTS cell, and then issues the modified parameter value to the base station or the UE, so that the network side device needs to modify an existing algorithm.

In the embodiment, taking the UMTS network as an example, the scaling parameter may be a scaling factor N in an S-UMTS cell with a channel bandwidth of 1/N of the UMTS standard channel bandwidth, and the value of N may be 2, 4, 0.5, and the like. The method for obtaining the scaling parameter may include the configuration information processing apparatus receiving the scaling parameter sent by the radio network controller, for example, the value of the above scaling factor N, or receiving the channel bandwidth sent by the radio network controller and then determining the scaling parameter according to the channel bandwidth, or the configuration information processing apparatus detecting the channel bandwidth and then determining the scaling parameter according to the detection result, and may also obtain the scaling parameter stored locally by the configuration information processing apparatus. The configured or stored parameter information may be a parameter value of a parameter in time unit configured to the configuration information processing apparatus by the RNC or a parameter value in time unit stored in the configuration information processing apparatus.

For example, with the scaling parameter, the scaling process on the configured or stored parameter information may be that the configuration information processing apparatus multiplies the configured parameter information by the scaling parameter. Thus, the wireless network controller does not need to reconfigure the parameters used in the standard UMTS network, and the configuration information processing device can automatically interpret the size of the received or stored parameters according to the network where the wireless network controller is located.

In the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment, the configuration information processing device first obtains the scaling parameter, and then performs scaling processing on the configured or stored parameter information by using the scaling parameter, so that the scaling processing of the configuration parameter in the network, such as the S-UMTS, can be completed on the side of the configuration information processing device, the influence on the algorithm and the protocol on the network side is reduced, and the complexity of system implementation is further reduced.

Optionally, the method for obtaining the scaling parameter in step 101 may include any one of the following three ways:

the first method is as follows: and receiving scaling parameter indication information sent by the wireless network controller, and acquiring scaling parameters according to the scaling parameter indication information.

In particular, the scaling parameter indication message may contain, for example, a value of the scaling factor N in the S-UMTS cell or a value of the channel bandwidth of the network.

Optionally, the first method may specifically include: the configuration information processing device acquires the zooming parameter contained in the zooming parameter indication information; or,

the configuration information processing device acquires the channel bandwidth included in the scaling parameter indication information, and acquires the scaling parameter according to the channel bandwidth.

In particular, the scaling parameter may be derived from the channel bandwidth by a correspondence between the scaling parameter and the channel bandwidth in, for example, an S-UMTS cell.

Optionally, the obtaining the cell scaling parameter includes obtaining at least one of the following messages:

a radio resource control connection establishment message, a cell update confirmation message, a physical channel reconfiguration message, a radio bearer establishment message, a transport channel reconfiguration message, a registration area update confirmation message, a network mobility information message, an active set update message. The second method comprises the following steps: and detecting the channel bandwidth, and determining a scaling parameter according to the detection result of the channel bandwidth.

In this mode, the configuration information processing device does not need to receive the scaling parameter indication message sent by the radio network controller, but the configuration information processing device detects the value of the channel bandwidth and obtains the value of the scaling parameter according to the detection result of the channel bandwidth.

The third method comprises the following steps: locally stored scaling parameters are obtained.

In the mode, the configuration information processing device does not need to receive the scaling parameter indication message sent by the wireless network controller, but the scaling parameter is stored in the configuration information processing device, and for the S-UMTS cell with only one scaling parameter in the system, the configuration information processing device acquires the locally stored value of the scaling parameter.

Optionally, for an S-UMTS cell in which there are multiple scaling parameters in the system, the method for obtaining the locally stored scaling parameters may include:

and detecting the channel bandwidth, and selecting and acquiring a scaling parameter from at least two locally stored scaling parameters according to the detection result of the channel bandwidth.

Specifically, when the configuration information processing apparatus locally stores at least two scaling parameters, the value of the channel bandwidth may be detected first, and then the value of the scaling parameter may be selected and obtained from the locally stored at least two scaling parameters according to the detection result of the channel bandwidth.

In the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment, the configuration information processing device may obtain the scaling parameter in multiple ways, and then perform scaling processing on the configured or stored parameter information by using the scaling parameter, so as to implement scaling processing of the configuration parameter in a network, such as S-UMTS, on the side of the configuration information processing device, and further reduce the influence on the algorithm and protocol on the network side by detecting the channel bandwidth or obtaining the locally stored scaling parameter by using the configuration information processing device, thereby reducing the complexity of system implementation.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of the configuration information processing method provided by the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the configuration information processing method of the present embodiment includes:

step 201, obtaining a cell scaling parameter.

For example, step 201 can be implemented in any one of the three ways in the previous embodiment.

Step 202, receiving configuration information containing the parameters sent by the radio network controller, or acquiring the locally stored parameter information.

Wherein the parameters include: the transmission time interval of the static transmission channel and/or the transmission time interval of the high-speed downlink shared channel.

Specifically, the configuration information including the parameter may be a parameter value of the parameter in units of time that the RNC configures to the configuration information processing apparatus.

It will be appreciated that this step is also a sub-step in step 102 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1.

Optionally, the configuration information containing parameters includes, but is not limited to, parameter values of at least one of the following parameters:

The above parameters are typical parameters configured by the RNC to the configuration information processing device.

Specifically, the parameters in time unit in the parameters configured by the RNC to the configuration information processing apparatus may be scaled by the method of this embodiment on the side of the configuration information processing apparatus, which includes but is not limited to: radio Link Control (RLC) layer and Media Access Control (MAC) layer parameters, and measures related Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer parameters, physical layer parameters, and the like. The method specifically comprises the following steps: RLC layer related parameters: a Status report minimum interval time (Timer _ Status _ Prohibit), a Status report reporting cycle time (Timer _ Status _ periodic), a minimum polling time interval (Timer _ poll _ Prohibit), a polling timing (Timer _ poll), and the like, and MAC layer related parameters: a CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) Feedback cycle (CQI Feedback cycle, k), a Happy bit delay condition (Happy bit delay condition), a non-Scheduling service cycle reporting Scheduling information time (periodic for Scheduling Info no grant), a Scheduling service cycle reporting Scheduling information time (periodic for Scheduling Info grant), and the like, and a MAC-ehsreordering request parameter (enhanced HSDPA medium access control reordering queue parameter): a Timer (T1) for transmitting data to a higher layer, a restart Timer (Treset), a Transmission Time Interval (Transmission Time Interval), i.e. a configurable non-static Transmission Time Interval on the network side, an enhanced dedicated transport channel Transmission Time Interval (E-DCHTransmission Time Interval), a Timer (T321) for the UE to enter DRX operation, a Penalty Time (Penalty _ Time) for cell reselection, a Discard Timer (Discard Timer), a trigger reporting Time (Time to trigger) configured by the RNC to the UE and a Timer (T _ RLFAILURE) configured by the RNC to the NodeB for detecting uplink loss, starting a radio link failure.

The obtaining of the locally stored parameter information may specifically include: a transmission time interval of a static transport channel, and/or a high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) transmission time interval. These parameters are fixed in a standard UMTS network and are not configured on the network side, but in S-UMTS cells, UE scaling is also required.

Specifically, the rnc sends RSCP (Received Signal Code Power) related parameters including, but not limited to, RSCP as a threshold for the measured quantity. In an S-UMTS cell, since the power spectral density is unchanged and the bandwidth is reduced or increased, the power of the actually received signal is reduced or increased, so that the relevant configuration parameter values also need to be scaled.

And step 203, adopting the scaling parameters to scale the configuration information containing the parameters.

Optionally, step 203 may specifically include: if the parameter is in units of time, multiplying the configured or stored parameter by the scaling parameter. In particular, since the actual time in a network such as S-UMTS is lengthened or shortened, scaling the parameter values in units of time that the RNC configures to the configuration information processing apparatus to the parameter values available to the configuration information processing apparatus can be achieved by multiplying the time parameter configuration information by the scaling parameter.

In particular, for the RSCP-related parameter, scaling the RSCP-related parameter value, which the RNC configures to the configuration information processing apparatus, to a parameter value usable by the configuration information processing apparatus can be achieved by multiplying the parameter configuration information by the inverse number (i.e., 1/N) of the scaling parameter.

In the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment, the configuration information processing device may perform scaling processing on the configuration information including the parameter by first obtaining the scaling parameter and the configuration information including the parameter, and then using the scaling parameter, so as to achieve that scaling of a parameter value in a unit of time in a network, such as an S-UMTS network, to an available parameter value of the configuration information processing device is completed on the side of the configuration information processing device, thereby reducing the influence on an algorithm and a protocol on the network side, and further reducing the complexity of system implementation.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of a configuration information processing method provided by the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the configuration information processing method of the present embodiment includes:

step 301, obtaining a cell scaling parameter.

Step 302, receiving configuration information containing parameters sent by the radio network controller, or acquiring locally stored parameter information.

Step 303, receiving an instruction message sent by the radio network controller to instruct to start scaling processing.

Specifically, after the configuration information processing apparatus acquires the scaling parameter and the time parameter configuration information, if the configuration information processing apparatus receives an instruction message sent by the RNC to instruct to start scaling, the configuration information processing apparatus performs scaling on the time parameter configuration information in step 304.

And step 304, adopting the scaling parameters to scale the configuration information containing the parameters.

In the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment, the configuration information processing apparatus may perform scaling processing on the configuration information including the parameter by acquiring the scaling parameter and the configuration information including the parameter, and then using the scaling parameter after receiving the scaling processing instruction, so that the configuration information processing apparatus may scale a parameter value in a unit of time in a network, such as an S-UMTS, to an available parameter value of the configuration information processing apparatus, thereby reducing an influence on an algorithm and a protocol on the network side, and further reducing complexity of system implementation.

The configuration information processing method of the fourth embodiment of the configuration information processing method provided by the invention comprises the following steps:

and sending scaling parameter indication information to the base station or the User Equipment (UE) so that the base station or the UE can acquire the scaling parameters according to the scaling parameter indication information and scale the time parameter configuration information according to the scaling parameters.

The execution subject of the above steps may be RNC.

Specifically, taking the UMTS network as an example, the scaling parameter may be a scaling factor N in an S-UMTS cell with a channel bandwidth of 1/N of the UMTS standard channel bandwidth, the value of N may be 2, 4, 0.5, etc., and the value of the scaling factor N or the channel bandwidth may be included in the scaling parameter indication message sent by the RNC to the base station or the user equipment UE.

In the method for processing configuration information provided in this embodiment, the RNC sends the scaling parameter indication message to the base station or the UE, so that the base station or the UE obtains the scaling parameter according to the scaling parameter indication message and performs scaling processing on the configuration information including the parameter according to the scaling parameter, thereby achieving that scaling of a parameter value in a unit of time in a network, such as an S-UMTS network, to a parameter value available to the base station or the UE can be completed at the base station or the UE side, reducing the influence on an algorithm and a protocol at the network side, and further reducing the complexity of system implementation.

These parameters are fixed in a standard UMTS network and are not configured on the network side, but in S-UMTS cells, UE scaling is also required.

In the configuration information processing method provided in this embodiment, the RNC sends the scaling parameter indication information to the base station or the UE, so that the base station or the UE obtains the scaling parameter according to the scaling parameter indication information and performs scaling processing on the configuration information including the parameter according to the scaling parameter, and it is possible to implement that a parameter value in a network, such as an S-UMTS, using time as a unit is scaled to a parameter value available to the base station or the UE at the base station or the UE side, thereby reducing the influence on an algorithm and a protocol at the network side and further reducing the complexity of system implementation.
