A kind of method reducing E-CID location time delay and signaling consumption
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field.Specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of 3GPP long evolving system (LTE, Long Term Evolution) in mobile phone is being carried out to E-CID (Enhanced Cell-IDpositioning method, the Cell ID positioning method strengthened) when locating, reduce the method for location time delay and signaling consumption.
Background technology
CID locate mode is the location requirement of R8, and the E-CID localization method of its enhancement method has appearred in R9.Simply introduce CID localization method below, base station is receiving MME (Mobility Management Entity, mobile management entity) after the Location Report Control (comprise instruction enable position report) that sends, CGI and TAI of reporting subdistrict, and whether the Serving cell detecting UE changes.If when there occurs switching or the behavior of reconstruction between the different districts of UE in same base station, base station needs to send Location Report to MME, reports its new cell information, receives MME transmission Location Report Control instruction stop position and reports.E-CID localization method is mainly through obtaining one or more information such as community, AOA, Timing Advance Type1, TimingAdvance Type2, RSRP and RSRQ residing for UE in conjunction with the physical location of community, roughly estimate the position of UE, this positional precision is lower, at about 100 meters.E-CID to be measured initial request message (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST) and E-CID by location-server and measures termination command messages (MEASUREMENT TERMINATION COMMAND) signaling and be packaged into LPPa PDU by the instruction of E-CID location, is handed down to base station through MME by S1AP.Base station is measured initial failed message (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION FAILURE) for E-CID location instruction execution result E-CID measurement termination command messages (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE) or E-CID and is packaged into LPPa PDU, be uploaded to MME by S1AP, MME is transmitted to location-server.Base station is after corresponding UE starts the corresponding measurement of E-CID, when needing corresponding measurement result and reporting location-server, report measurement results E-CID MEASUREMENT REPORT is packaged into LPPa PDU, be uploaded to MME by S1AP message UPLINK UE ASSOCIATED LPPA TRANSPORT, MME is transmitted to location-server.After receiving the E-CID MEASUREMENT TERMINATIONCOMMAND order that E-SMLC sends, base station stops E-CID measurement to report, and E-CID positioning flow terminates.
The present invention proposes a kind of simple method, if for when initiating E-CID location to UE in handoff scenario, effectively can reduce location time delay and signal resource.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention:
Problem to be solved by this invention is the UE for switching, if when will carry out E-CID to it, switching flow and positioning flow all can complete smoothly to take which kind of scheme to ensure, and reduce time delay and the signal resource of two flow processs as far as possible;
The present invention pays close attention to the switching based on X2 interface and S1 interface in LTE system between base station;
Solving this technical problem adopted technical scheme is:
Switch for the X2 between base station and S1 switching, carry E-CID measurement configuration information in handover request message, after target BS has switched, the E-CID measurement configuration information of coming according to source base station band has continued the positioning flow to UE;
Its concrete step is:
1) E-SMLC (Evolved Serving Mobile Location Centre, the Serving Mobile Location Center of evolution) sends E-CID to source base station and measures initial request message (E-CID MEASUREMENTINITIATION REQUEST);
2), after source base station receives E-CID measurement initial request message, preserve and measure configuration parameter to UE context;
3) source base station issues RRC reprovision request message (RRCConnectionReconfiguration) according to parameter request to UE, contains E-CID and measure configuration in this message;
4) UE has configured backward source base station reply RRC reprovision and has completed message (RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete);
5) source base station receives after RRC reprovision completes message, replys E-CID successfully measure initial request response message (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE) to E-SMLC;
6) UE measures, then to source base station reporting measurement reports (MeasurementReport) according to the measurement configuration of base station;
7) source base station is needs initiation X2 switching according to the switch decision that measurement report and algorithm are made, so send X2 handover request message (X2AP HANDOVER REQUEST) to object base station, in this message, comprise configuration parameter UE being carried out to E-CID measurement that source base station receives;
8) after target BS receives X2AP handover request message, if accept this handover request, then the E-CID measurement of preserving in message is configured in newly-generated UE context;
9) continue concrete X2 switching flow, X2 switching flow details does not describe;
10) UE is switched to after object base station completes, and can send RRC reprovision complete message (RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete) to object base station;
11) RRC reallocation message (RRCConnectionReconfiguration) is initiated to UE in object base station, contains the E-CID be kept in UE context and measure configuration parameter in message;
12) UE measures configuration and completes backward object base station and report RRC reprovision to complete message (RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete);
13) UE is according to measuring configuration requirement to object base station reporting measurement reports (MeasurementReport);
14), after base station receives the measurement report of UE, E-CID measurement report (E-CIDMEASUREMENT REPORT) is sent to E-SMLC;
15) if the 6th) step occurs in the 3rd) before step, then the 3rd) and the 4th) step do not need to perform, the 12nd) object base station receives after RRC reprovision completes message (RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete) in step, supplement to reply E-CID to E-SMLC and successfully measure initial request response message (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATIONRESPONSE).
Described step 7) in, for the UE that have received E-CID measurement initial request, if this UE is about to be switched to other base stations, then in handover request message, carry E-CID measurement configuration information, like this after UE is switched to target BS, E-SMLC does not need to issue E-CID to UE again and measures configuration, as this reduced signal resource.
Described step 8) in, after have received handover request message, need to preserve E-CID measurement report to UE context.
Described step 11) in, when UE is switched to after target BS completes, if this UE needs to initiate E-CID measure configuration, then issue E-CID to UE and measure configuration, and need to reply E-CID initial measurement response message according to concrete scene to E-SMLC, the benefit brought in this step is, does not need by the time E-SMLC to issue E-CID and measures configuration, only needs the measurement configuration distributing that carries in handover request message to UE.
Described step 14) in, for the UE switched, if having received the E-CID measurement report that UE reports, then need to pass through E-SMLC.
For the UE needing to switch, owing to not needing to carry out alternately with E-SMLC, so just reduce location time delay and signal resource.
7th), in step, switching, so until the 9th if the switch decision that source base station is made is S1) X2 switching flow all replaces to S1 switching flow in step.
Technological merit of the present invention:
1) in step 7 as above) in, its advantage is, for the UE that have received E-CID measurement initial request, if this UE is about to be switched to other base stations, then in handover request message, carry E-CID measurement configuration information, like this after UE is switched to target BS, E-SMLC does not need to issue E-CID to UE again and measures configuration, as this reduced signal resource;
2) in step 8 as above) in, its advantage is, after have received handover request message, needs to preserve E-CID measurement report to UE context;
3) in step 11 as above) in, it is characterized in that, when UE is switched to after target BS completes, if this UE needs to initiate E-CID measure configuration, then issue E-CID to UE and measure configuration, and need to reply E-CID initial measurement response message according to concrete scene to E-SMLC, the benefit brought in this step is, do not need by the time E-SMLC to issue E-CID and measure configuration, only need the measurement configuration distributing that carries in handover request message to UE;
4) in step 14 as above) in, it is characterized in that, for the UE switched, if having received the E-CID measurement report that UE reports, then need to pass through E-SMLC;
Compared with prior art, the present invention, for the UE needing to switch, owing to not needing to carry out alternately with E-SMLC, so just can reduce location time delay and signal resource.
