The example of a prior art described below:
If for example, user equipment is from E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, the Universal Terrestrial wireless access network of evolution) UTRAN is switched to, and user equipment uses VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator, voltage-controlled oscillator) obtaining different local carrier frequencies.The voltage-controlled oscillating Device is the electro coupled oscillator that frequency of oscillation is controlled by input voltage, it is assumed that its precision be 3ppm (precision may due to temperature, It is aging etc. to change), the designated carrier frequency of E-UTRAN is 2.3GHz;The designated carrier frequency of UTRAN is 2GHz.Then exist Preferable frequency deviation between user equipment and E-UTRAN should be 3ppm*2.3GHz=6.9kHz, the reason between user equipment and UTRAN Think that frequency deviation should be 3ppm*2Ghz=6kHz.
Before the handover, it is assumed that frequency deviation of the user equipment by it and between E-UTRAN converges to 6.9kHz.
After handover, initial frequency deviation of the user equipment by it between UTRAN is set to zero.Therefore, the user equipment needs Regular hour converges to 6kHz with the frequency deviation by it between UTRAN.
Fig. 1 shows the typical frequency deviation convergence curve that initial frequency deviation is zero.It shows that user equipment needs t1(such as t1= 200ms) converge to f1(such as f1=6kHz).
Because 6kHz is a larger value, user equipment one section of longer time will be needed user equipment and Frequency deviation between UTRAN converges to 6kHz from 0Hz.
And the present invention proposes a kind of method for carrying out offset estimation at user equipment switching cell, it is according to user equipment Offset estimation value between source base station obtains frequency deviation coefficient, after handover according to the frequency deviation coefficient and the designated carrier of target BS Frequency, obtains the initial frequency offset value between user equipment and the target BS, accelerates the frequency deviation convergent time, improves cell knowledge Other success rate.
Its concretism is as follows:
Generally, user equipment by way of frequency dividing or frequency multiplication, obtains difference by oscillator, such as voltage-controlled oscillator Local carrier frequency.
Compared with the carrier frequency for being received from base station, the carrier frequency of user equipment modulation is normally stored down to ± 0.1ppm.
Within frequency difference between the real carrier frequency in base station and designated carrier frequency is normally controlled in 0.1ppm.
During switching, if user equipment is f with the offset estimation value of source base stationoffset1, the specified transmission of source base station is frequently Rate is fsource_cell;The specified tranmitting frequency of target BS is ftargdt_cell, the initial frequency deviation of user equipment and the target BS It is f to be worthInit_offset2
Then:
1) frequency difference of the oscillator between user equipment and source base station isWithin.
2) frequency difference of the oscillator between user equipment and target BS existsWithin.
Therefore, if user equipment is setThen between user equipment and target BS Residual frequency difference will be within 0.2ppm.Time needed for this causes offset estimation to restrain is much smaller than fInit_offset2=0 situation.

1) before the handover, it is assumed that frequency deviation of the user equipment by it between E-UTRAN converges to 6.9kHz, therefore frequency system Number
2) user equipment carries the frequency deviation coefficient in handoff procedure, and the frequency deviation coefficient such as is stored in into public buffer, Wherein, the public caching is may have access to when the user equipment is located at the source base station with cell corresponding to the target BS Device;
3) after handover, user equipment, will initially frequently according to the frequency deviation coefficient and the designated carrier frequency of the target BS It is set to partially
