Description

Measurement control method, measurement method and device

Technical Field

The embodiments of the present invention relate to communications technologies, and in particular, to a measurement control method, a measurement method, and a device.

Background

With the development of mobile communication technology, the large-scale deployment of the third Generation (3 rd-Generation, abbreviated as 3G) network brings traffic pressure to the operator network while bringing the experience of high-rate and large-bandwidth service to people. In order to deal with the situation of the rapid increase of the mobile data traffic, operators propose a Small cell deployment scenario, that is, in an area with more mobile users, such as a supermarket or a shopping mall, Small cells (Small cells/Small enbs) with a smaller coverage area are densely deployed to support the huge traffic in the area, so that users can enjoy the data traffic with a wider bandwidth and a higher speed. The access Node of the small cell may be a Low Power Node (LPN), but is not limited thereto.

In a scenario where a macro base station and LPNs are covered simultaneously, a User Equipment (UE) may be handed over between LPNs. The macro base station sends measurement configuration information to the UE, the UE executes corresponding configuration according to the measurement configuration information, triggers different measurements according to the configuration, and reports a measurement report to the macro base station when a measurement result meets a reporting condition; the macro base station judges whether the cell switching condition is met according to the measurement report and Radio Resource Management (RRM) information, if so, the target macro base station is determined, and a switching process is initiated. Therefore, the neighbor cell measurement event is triggered only when the service signal quality of the primary serving cell (Pcell) of the UE is less than a preset signal quality threshold (s-measure) or the UE is not configured with the signal quality threshold, but under such a condition, it is not beneficial to fully exert the advantage of the simultaneous deployment of the macro base station and the LPN, for example, neither the macro base station nor the LPN may exert the advantages in terms of bandwidth and transmission rate.

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.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a measurement control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

101. determining the mapping relation among various services, the measuring objects corresponding to the various services and the report configurations corresponding to the various services.

102. And sending the mapping relation to the UE, wherein the mapping relation is used for triggering the UE to measure various services, and reporting a measurement result.

In this embodiment, the macro base station classifies services, and selects a carrier frequency or a cell set suitable for transmission of a specific service type for the UE, where the carrier frequency or the cell set suitable for transmission of the specific service type is a measurement object corresponding to the service. In addition, the macro base station determines, for each type of service, a reporting configuration required for performing measurement on the corresponding measurement object. For example, the macro base station may classify the services according to at least one of a Quality of Service (QoS) characteristic of the services, a transmission bit rate of the services, a Resource Block (RB) occupied by the services, and an eps-bearer identity (eps-bearer identity) of the services, so as to determine each type of services. After determining various services, the macro base station may determine measurement objects corresponding to the various services and report configurations corresponding to the various services.

For example, the macro base station classifies services according to QoS characteristics, and distributes different types of services to different carrier frequencies or cell sets that satisfy corresponding transmission requirements, thereby distributing services with different QoS requirements to different carrier frequencies or cell sets for transmission. For example, the macro base station may specifically classify the service of the UE into three classes according to a QoS Class Identifier (QCI): dividing Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) service with a QCI value of 1-4 and control plane signaling into first type of service, and suitable for being placed at a macro base station for transmission; dividing Non-GBR (Non-GBR) services with QCI (Quadrature value indicator) values of 5 or 6 into services of a second type, and if the services are suitable for being transmitted on a first LPN, taking the first LPN as a measurement object corresponding to the services of the second type, and determining corresponding report configuration; and dividing the Non-GBR services with QCI values of 7 to 9 into services of a third type, wherein the services are suitable for being transmitted on a second LPN, and then taking the second LPN as a measurement object corresponding to the services of the third type and determining corresponding report configuration.

The measurement object mainly refers to a carrier frequency or a cell set to be measured, where the carrier frequency or the cell set (i.e., the measurement object in this embodiment) mainly refers to a carrier frequency or a cell set under an access node of a small cell opposite to a macro cell. The Access node of the small cell may be an LPN, but is not limited thereto, and may also be a small macro base station (Pico), an indoor macro base station (Femto), a low mobility macro base station (LoMo), or a local wireless Access Point (Access Point, abbreviated as AP), for example. The embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to LPN only.

After the measurement objects and the report configurations corresponding to various services are determined, the macro base station can determine the mapping relation among various services, the measurement objects corresponding to various services and the report configurations corresponding to various services; and then, the mapping relation is issued to the UE, so that the UE triggers and measures the locally established services existing in the mapping relation according to the mapping relation and reports the corresponding measurement results.

In an optional embodiment, before determining the mapping relationship between each service, the measurement object corresponding to each service, and the report configuration corresponding to each service, and after classifying the services, the macro base station configures service classification identifiers for each service, where different types of services have different service classification identifiers.

Based on the service classification identifier, an optional implementation manner of step 101 includes: creating a first measurement identifier list, wherein the first measurement identifier list correspondingly stores a service classification identifier of each type of service, a measurement object identifier of a measurement object corresponding to each type of service, a report configuration identifier of report configuration corresponding to each type of service and a first measurement identifier corresponding to each type of service; the first measurement identifier is used to indicate a mapping relationship between a service classification identifier corresponding to the first measurement identifier, a measurement object identifier corresponding to the first measurement identifier, and a report configuration identifier corresponding to the first measurement identifier. In this embodiment, the macro base station represents different types of services, measurement objects, and report configurations by using the service classification identifier, the measurement object identifier, and the report configuration identifier, respectively, and forms a mapping relationship among various services, measurement objects corresponding to various services, and report configurations corresponding to various services through the first measurement identifier list. In the first measurement identifier list, there is a corresponding relationship between the service classification identifier of each service and the measurement object identifier and the report configuration identifier corresponding to each service, and the relationship is embodied by the first measurement identifier, for example, the service classification identifier of each service, the measurement object identifier corresponding to each service, the report configuration identifier corresponding to each service, and the corresponding first measurement identifier form an entry in the first measurement identifier list.

Further optionally, before the macro base station sends the mapping relationship to the UE, after classifying the services, a service classification list is further created, where the service classification list correspondingly stores the service attribute of each service and the service classification identifier of each service. In the service classification list, there is a corresponding relationship between the service attribute of each type of service and the service classification identifier of each type of service, for example, the service attribute of each type of service and the service classification identifier of each type of service form an entry in the service classification list. After the macro base station creates the service classification list, the macro base station locally stores the service classification list.

Based on the above, an optional implementation of step 102 includes: the macro base station sends a measurement object list, a report configuration list, a service classification list and a first measurement identifier list to the UE through a measurement configuration item in a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message; the measurement object list is correspondingly stored with a measurement object corresponding to each type of service and a measurement object identifier corresponding to each type of service, for example, the measurement object corresponding to each type of service and the measurement object identifier corresponding to each type of service form one table entry in the measurement object list; the report configuration list is stored with the report configuration corresponding to each type of service and the report configuration identifier corresponding to each type of service, for example, the report configuration corresponding to each type of service and the report configuration identifier corresponding to each type of service form an entry in the report configuration list.

In this embodiment, the measurement configuration item in the first RRC reconfiguration message further includes a service classification list in addition to the first measurement identifier list, the measurement object list, the report configuration list, and other parameters, where the first measurement identifier list is different from the measurement identifier list in the prior art. Specifically, the service classification list includes one or more service classification items, and each service classification item includes a service classification identifier and specific attributes of the service. The mapping relation among various services, the measurement objects corresponding to the various services and the report configuration corresponding to the various services is established through a measurement object list, a report configuration list, a service classification list and a first measurement identification list. Each first measurement identifier in the first measurement identifier list is used to indicate a mapping relationship among the service class identifier, the measurement object identifier and the report configuration identifier corresponding to the first measurement identifier. Without loss of generality, the following tables 1 to 4 are used as examples for explanation, where table 1 is a first measurement identifier list, table 2 is a service classification list, table 3 is a measurement object list, and table 4 is a report configuration list.

The "EPS-bearer identity" in table 2 is an Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer identification number from the UE side to the P-GW side, and is used to distinguish different EPS bearers. The service classification with the EPS-bearer identity of 4 represents the service that the data needs to be transmitted on the EPS bearer with the ID number of 4; the "reportCGI" in table 4 above represents a type of periodic measurement, where micro-macro base stations may be deployed under a macro base station, and the micro-macro base stations have different access rights, some micro-macro base stations allow UEs to access randomly, and some micro-macro base stations prohibit other UEs from accessing except for allowing member UEs to access, where the type of measurement is used to instruct UEs to measure and report which micro-macro base stations can access.

As in table 1, the measurement with measID 1 is specifically represented as: when the UE in the connected state has traffic with a traffic class identifier of 3 (specifically, traffic with a QCI of 4, 5, or 7), measurement with a reprotConfig ID of 2 (A3 event measurement) needs to be performed on the carrier frequency with a measObject ID of 2 (i.e., carrier frequency C2).

Further optionally, in this embodiment, the macro base station may divide the service into a user plane service and a signaling plane service, that is, the "various services" include the user plane service and the signaling plane service. Considering that the signaling plane service generally does not need to be measured, the mapping relationship mainly becomes a mapping relationship among the user plane service, a measurement object corresponding to the user plane service, and a report configuration corresponding to the user plane service, and the mapping relationship is mainly used for instructing the UE to trigger measurement of the user plane service when the user plane service is established locally, and reporting a measurement result to the macro base station.

Further optionally, in the various lists, information corresponding to the signaling plane service, such as a measurement object identifier, a report configuration identifier, and the like, may be configured to be 0.

In view of backward compatibility, on the basis of the service classification identifier, another alternative implementation of step 101 includes: and creating a service and measurement mapping relation list, wherein the service attribute of each type of service, the service classification identifier of each type of service and a second measurement identifier corresponding to each type of service are correspondingly stored in the service and measurement mapping relation list. In the service and measurement mapping relationship list, there is a corresponding relationship between the service classification identifier of each service, the service attribute of each service, and the second measurement identifier, for example, the service classification identifier of each service, the service attribute of each service, and the second measurement identifier may form an entry in the service and measurement mapping relationship list.

Based on the above, another alternative implementation of step 102 includes: and sending a measurement object list, a report configuration list, a second measurement identifier list and the service and measurement mapping relation list to the UE through a measurement configuration item in a second RRC reconfiguration message. The second measurement identifier list is stored with a second measurement identifier, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the second measurement identifier and the report configuration identifier corresponding to the second measurement identifier, for example, the second measurement identifier, the measurement object identifier corresponding to the second measurement identifier and the report configuration identifier corresponding to the second measurement identifier may form an entry in the second measurement identifier list. The measurement object list is correspondingly stored with a measurement object corresponding to each type of service and a measurement object identifier corresponding to each type of service, for example, the measurement object corresponding to each type of service and the measurement object identifier corresponding to each type of service may form one table entry in the measurement object list; the report configuration list is stored with the report configuration corresponding to each type of service and the report configuration identifier corresponding to each type of service, for example, the report configuration corresponding to each type of service and the report configuration identifier corresponding to each type of service may form an entry in the report configuration list.

In this embodiment, the measurement configuration item in the second RRC reconfiguration message includes a second measurement identifier list, a measurement object list, a report configuration list, and other parameters, where the second measurement identifier list is the same as the measurement identifier list in the prior art, and is referred to as the second measurement identifier list for distinguishing from the first measurement identifier list. In this embodiment, the macro base station does not establish a mapping relationship between each service and the measurement object and the report configuration in the measurement identifier list, but establishes a mapping relationship between each service and the measurement object and the report configuration through the service and measurement mapping relationship list.

Optionally, the macro base station may send the measurement object list, the report configuration list, the second measurement identifier list, and the service and measurement mapping relationship list to the UE through an Information Element (IE) newly added to the measurement configuration item in the second RRC reconfiguration message and through the newly added IE. Specifically, the newly added IE includes one or more mapping relationship items, and each mapping relationship item is composed of three sub-items, i.e., a service classification identifier, a service attribute, and a second measurement identifier.

Without loss of generality, the new IE (i.e. the service-to-measurement mapping relationship list) is described by taking the QCI-based service as an example. Dividing services into three classes according to different QoS requirements, wherein the services with QCI (Quadrature reference frequency) of 1, 2, 3 and 4 (namely GBR services) are divided into first class services; the traffic with QCI of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (i.e. Non-GBR traffic) is classified as a second type of traffic. The mapping relationship is established between the first type of service and the measurement event with the second measurement identifier 1, 2, or 3, and the mapping relationship is established between the second type of service and the measurement event with the second measurement identifier 4, which is specifically shown in table 5.

TABLE 5

Service classification identification	Service attributes	Second measurement identifier
			1	QCI is 1, 2, 3, 4	1，2，3
2	QCI of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9	4

The structure of the second measurement identifier list is shown in table 6; the structures of the measurement object list and the report configuration list can be seen in tables 3 and 4, and are not described in detail here.

TABLE 6

Further optionally, in the various lists, information corresponding to the signaling plane service, such as a measurement object identifier, a report configuration identifier, and the like, may be configured to be 0, so as to indicate that no measurement needs to be performed on the signaling plane service.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, both the "first RRC reconfiguration message" and the "second RRC reconfiguration message" are RRC reconfiguration messages, and only for convenience of distinguishing, the first and second RRC reconfiguration messages are preceded by the first and second RRC reconfiguration messages, where the first and second RRC reconfiguration messages are not limited in number or in order.

In summary, in the measurement control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the macro base station determines the mapping relationship among the various services, the measurement objects corresponding to the various services, and the report configurations corresponding to the various services by classifying the services, and issues the mapping relationship to the UE, and the UE triggers measurement on the various services according to the mapping relationship and reports the corresponding measurement results. The UE can trigger different types of event measurement on corresponding carrier frequencies or cell sets aiming at different types of services, so that the switching based on the service classification characteristic is favorably executed, the advantage of simultaneous coverage of the macro base station and the LPN is favorably and fully exerted, and the advantages of the macro base station and the LPN in bandwidth and transmission rate can be exerted. For example, according to different QoS requirements of the UE for the services, it may be considered that the services with different QoS requirements are placed in different cells for transmission. Among them, macro base stations may provide higher QoS guarantees and low complexity mobility management, while LPNs may provide wider bandwidths and higher transmission rates. Aiming at the characteristics of different cells, services with higher time delay requirements and low transmission bandwidth requirements can be transmitted at a macro base station; and the service with lower time delay requirement and high transmission bandwidth requirement is transmitted in the LPN.

Further, when the traffic load of the macro base station is too high, part of the UEs need to be handed over to other cells in the prior art, and the time delay caused by the handover will reduce the user experience of the user. By adopting the measurement control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the macro base station mostly consumes the Non-GBR services, so when the load of the macro base station is too high, the Non-GBR services with large resource occupation or low QoS requirement of a user can be switched to other cells, and the GBR services with high delay requirement (such as VoIP services) are still transmitted in the macro base station, thereby effectively reducing the load of the macro base station and ensuring the experience of the user.
