A kind of method and apparatus of determining Target cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of communication technology, more particularly to a kind of method and apparatus of determining Target cell.
Background technology
Long term evolution(Long Term Evolution, LTE)In the isomery layering on-premise network of system, macrocell
(macro cell)Layer and cell(small cell)Layer is possible to will appear overlapping covering, i.e., in the covering model of the macrocell
In enclosing, cell may be disposed simultaneously.So-called cell refers to that transmission power is provided less than the low power base station of common macro base station
Cell, for example, picocell(pico cell), Femto cell(femto cell)Deng being all typical cell.
The physical layer of LTE system defines 504 Physical Cell Identifier altogether(Physical Cell Identifier,
PCI), in order to avoid inter-cell interference, and make base station(eNB)Each adjacent cell can be correctly identified, PCI configurations need full
The following two requirements of foot:
First, not conflicting(collision-free), i.e. the adjacent co-frequency cell of any two can not be used identical
PCI, and all co-frequency cells in the same eNB can not use identical PCI;
Second is that not obscuring(confusion-free), i.e., cannot have in all adjacent cells of one cell any two with frequency
Cell uses identical PCI.
Since in the non-isomery on-premise networks of LTE, the adjacent cell quantity of macrocell, far fewer than 504, can pass through than relatively limited
The network planning or aspect of network self-configuration function avoid the problem that PCI conflicts or obscure, and therefore, in the non-isomery on-premise networks of LTE, lead to
The problem of being not in often PCI conflicts or obscuring.But be layered in on-premise network in LTE isomeries, it is used to improve frequency spectrum
Rate, cell typically operate in same frequency layer, if the quantity of the cell in a macrocell coverage area is more than 504,
The working frequency points of the cell situation identical with PCI there are two necessarily causing;Even if small in the macrocell coverage area
The quantity of cell does not reach 504, but since to typically use self-configuration function slight to configure for the base station of control cell
The PCI in area, therefore, the probability that identical PCI is configured for two different slight PCI conflicts or confusion region are also relatively high.
In handoff procedure, macro base station is to user equipment(UE)Configuration is measured, UE is according to the measurement configuration information received
Measurement is executed, and measurement report is reported to macro base station, the measurement report is for assisting macro base station to switch over judgement;Wherein,
It is typically that an adjacent cell is identified with the combination of the working frequency points of cell and PCI in measurement report.Currently, in order to solve
The problem of PCI conflicts or obscures, the network architecture shown in Figure 1, it is assumed that small cell1 and small cell3 are worked in
Same frequency layer and the identical PCI of use solve PCI conflicts using following mechanism in the prior art or obscure, including following step
Suddenly:
The signal of step 11, the cell of the UE measurement surroundings of macrocell service, when the reference signal of small cell1 connects
Receive power(Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP)/ Reference Signal Received Quality(Reference
Signal Received Quality, RSRQ)When meeting preset condition, the UE is to macro base station reporting measurement reports, wherein
The working frequency points and PCI of RSRP/RSRQ and small cell1 comprising small cell1 in this measurement report;
After step 12, macro base station receive the measurement report that UE is reported, the working frequency points and PCI that will be carried in the measurement report
As the neighborhood region correlation chart that search index locally preserves, due to including two adjacent cells to match in neighborhood region correlation chart, i.e.,
Small cell1 and small cell3, therefore can not identify the target adjacent section according to working frequency points and PCI, the macro base station to
UE sends measuring configuration order, to indicate that the UE reads target adjacent section(That is small cell1)E-UTRAN cell overall situation marks
Know(E-UTRAN Cell Global Identity, ECGI).
After step 13, UE receive the measuring configuration order of macro base station transmission, the receiver of itself is adjusted to read small
The system broadcast information of cell1, and the ECGI of the small cell1 is obtained from the system broadcast information, again to macro base station
Reporting measurement reports, wherein include the ECGI of the small cell1 in this measurement report;
After step 14, macro base station receive the measurement report that UE is reported, since ECGI is the unique mark of cell, macro base station can
ECGI in the measurement report reported by UE identifies that the target adjacent section is small cell1, and then triggering following switches
Process.
As it can be seen that being layered in on-premise network in LTE isomeries, due to the presence of PCI confusion problem, base station cannot be reported according to UE
First measurement report in working frequency points and PCI carry out unique identification and go out target adjacent section, need UE to read adjacent cell to be
System broadcast message reports Article 2 measurement report to base station to obtain the ECGI of the adjacent cell, so that base station is surveyed according to this
ECGI in amount report comes unique identification target adjacent section.The mechanism of above-mentioned determining target adjacent section has the following problems:
UE is in fetching adjacent domain system broadcast message, it may be necessary to hundreds of milliseconds of even longer times, to increase
The delay that switching prepares;In addition, UE is in fetching adjacent domain system broadcast message, it is also possible to the temporary interrupting service data of meeting
Transmitting-receiving, to reduce user experience;
If measurement report is handover event triggering, if network side cannot execute the handoff procedure of UE in time, due to this
The current service cell signal decaying of UE, may result in call drop;
If UE movement speeds are very fast, above-mentioned signaling procedure is executed in network side(That is step 11 ~ step 14)It afterwards, just can be to UE
Switching command is sent out, UE may have moved out the coverage area of to be switched target adjacent section at this time, if UE still attempts to wait for this
The target adjacent section of switching switches, since link-quality is bad, it is likely that and lead to handover failure, that is, allows to complete switching,
It is easy to cause call drop, to reduce the mobility performance of network, also reduces user experience.
In conclusion in the prior art, the serving BS of UE determines the process for the Target cell that the UE is switched over, increase
The delay that switching prepares, and it is easy to cause call drop, to reducing user experience.
