Specific embodiment
In order to make the object, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the invention clearer, below in conjunction with the embodiment of the present invention In attached drawing, technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described, it is clear that described embodiment is A part of the embodiment of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art Every other embodiment obtained without creative efforts, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of one embodiment of the invention method for switching network, and this method can be applied under 3GPP specification The internetwork network switching of standard especially switches to the network switching of UMTS cell from LTE cell, while this method can fit The case where for Multi-Mode Base Station and non-Multi-Mode Base Station.This method can realize by the first network access point of network switching, first Network access point can be the source base station switched in various standard networks under 3GPP specification.As shown in Figure 1, the present embodiment is with LTE Source eNB in network is as first network access point, using the target NodeB based on UMTS as the second network access point, with mesh RNC is marked as being illustrated for the second network controller, this method can be carried out according to following process:
S101, first network access point obtain to be switched UE to the transmission delay reference information of the second network access point, are somebody's turn to do Transmission delay reference information is used to determine the transmission delay information between the to be switched UE and second network access point.
In the case where multiple types network cell coexists, the resident strategy of usual UE is preferential resident high standard, therefore In the case where UMTS cell and LTE cell coexist, a large amount of UE, which are resident LTE cell, may cause LTE cell high load, inevitable Network switching of a large amount of LTE cells to UMTS cell based on load, while circuit domain dropping (Circuit Switched can be caused Fallback, abbreviation CSFB) it is also the factor that triggering LTE cell switches to UMTS subzone network.And in network switching in Disconnected time delay is the principal element for influencing user's impression, therefore the case where switching there are a large amount of LTE cells to UMTS cell Under, in order to not influence user impression, should shorten as far as possible LTE cell to UMTS cell handoff time delay.
UE can carry out relevant isosystem measurement according to measuring configuration, when the adjacent area different system UMTS after accessing LTE cell It meets certain condition, UE can report the isosystem measurement comprising the adjacent area UMTS to report to the affiliated eNB of place cell, that is, source eNB, source ENB can using the measurement report received as the transmission delay reference information of to be switched UE and target NodeB, alternatively, The measurement report can be regard as the transmission delay reference information after centainly handling.
Wherein, the transmission which is determined between the to be switched UE and target NodeB is prolonged Slow information.Further, which can be used for determining uplink synchronous in network switching process for target NodeB Search window size.
Optionally, if target NodeB and source eNB co-sited, S101 may include: that obtain this to be switched by source eNB Time advance (Timing Advance, abbreviation TA) value between UE and source eNB is referred to the TA value as the transmission delay Information.Specifically, in LTE standard network, the uplink synchronizing signals of different UE want time unifying when reaching eNB, to guarantee UE Between uplink signal orthogonality, thus facilitate eliminate cell in interference.Signal has delay in space propagation, if UE is mobile to the direction far from eNB during the call, then the signal issued from eNB will " increasingly slowr " arrival UE, together with this When, the signal of UE also can " increasingly later " arrival eNB, postpone the too long signal that will lead to UE that eNB is received on this time slot The time slot for receiving next other UE signals with eNB is overlapped, causes intersymbol interference.The time unifying of uplink is to pass through Realized in the sending side UE using TA value, i.e. the main purpose of TA value be exactly in order to eliminate propagation delay time different between UE, UE adjusts sending time according to TA value when carrying out uplink transmission.TA value can pass through random access channel (Random Access Channel, abbreviation RACH) it is obtained, it to access target NodeB is also to be obtained by RACH in handoff procedure TA value and subsequent uplink is taken to send resource.
When UE is in UMTS cell, the propagation delay time of to be switched UE to target NodeB can be obtained by RACH process i.e. Parameter PD value, according to its precision of protocol definition be 3chip, i.e. 0.78us, and in LTE cell RACH process obtain TA value, Its precision is 0.52us, therefore the two parameters precisions are on the same order of magnitude, in eNB and NodeB co-sited or shared antenna In the case of, the distance of UE to eNB and UE to NodeB is identical, i.e., signal propagation delay time having the same, therefore in this case, The PD value that TA value in LTE cell can be used as UMTS cell uses.
Further, if target NodeB and source eNB co-sited, S101 can also include: that obtain this to be cut by source eNB The TA value between UE and source eNB is changed, and converts the PD value that the TA value is UMTS, using the PD value as the transmission delay with reference to letter Breath.Specifically, due to TA value and PD the standard network that belong to two different, measurement unit is different, for the ease of target NodeB determines the search window size of uplink synchronous search using the parameter, can carry out measurement unit variation.
Optionally, if target NodeB and source eNB are non-co-sited, S101 may include: that obtain this to be cut by source eNB The location information for changing UE, using the location information of the to be switched UE as the transmission delay reference information.Specifically, work as target When NodeB and source eNB is non-co-sited situation, the propagation delay time of UE to eNB and the propagation delay time of UE to NodeB be not identical, no TA information can be directly utilized, at this point it is possible to wait for this using the location information of the to be switched UE as the transmission delay reference information The location information of switching UE is sent to Target RNC, and the transmission of the to be switched UE Yu target NodeB can be calculated by Target RNC Delay.
Wherein, source eNB can pass through global positioning system (Global to the acquisition of to be switched UE location information Position System, abbreviation GPS) method, reaching time-difference positioning (Observed Time Difference of Arrival, abbreviation OTDOA) method and cell ID (Cell Identity, abbreviation CellID) method etc. be to be cut to obtain this The coordinate information of UE is changed to realize, no limitations are hereby intended.
Further, if target NodeB and source eNB are non-co-sited, S101 can also include:
Source eNB obtains the location information of the to be switched UE and the location information of target NodeB;
Source eNB is according to the location information of the to be switched UE and the positional information calculation of the target NodeB to be switched UE PD value between target NodeB is referred to the PD value between the to be switched UE and target NodeB as the transmission delay Information.
Specifically, obtaining for the location information of target NodeB can be by adjacent area location information that source eNB is locally stored In directly acquire, can also by queries configuration database obtain adjacent area location information, but not limited to this.Wherein, this is waited for The calculating of PD value between switching UE and target NodeB for example may is that be believed according to the coordinate of to be switched UE and target NodeB Breath extrapolate the distance between target NodeB and the to be switched UE, then by the distance value calculated divided by the light velocity this to Switch the PD value of UE to target NodeB.
S102, the first network access point send the switching including the transmission delay reference information to the second network controller Request, the switching request are used to indicate second network controller and send transmission delay information to second network access point, It is synchronous with the to be switched UE progress network switching to control second network access point.
Specifically, when source eNB sends switching request to Target RNC, which is carried in the switching Target RNC is sent in request together, for the Target RNC according to the switching request and the transmission delay reference information to target NodeB sends wireless link request.Transmission delay information is carried in wireless link request, according to the transmission delay Information, target NodeB can determine search window size, to improve network switching efficiency.
Optionally, after S102, the method for this implementation can also include: source eNB according to the Target RNC received The switching request response of transmission sends network switching to the to be switched UE and indicates information, and the network switching instruction information is for referring to Show that the to be switched UE carries out network switching.
The present embodiment, first network access point are sending carrying transmission delay ginseng in switching request to the second network controller Information is examined, the second network controller is used to indicate to the second network access point and sends transmission delay information, for control the Two network access points determine search window size according to the transmission delay information, to improve the efficiency of network switching, solve UE and exist Network interruption time delay big problem when network switching.
Current UE can be switched from LTE cell to the network switching of UMTS cell using posteriority, i.e., UE receives switching command Afterwards access target UMTS cell when think downlink be it is synchronous, uplink synchronous is directly carried out on uplink DPCCH, at this point, mainly Time delay carries out the uplink signal search of uplink synchronous from the side target NodeB.Propagation delay time is not known in the side target NodeB Search window is related to radius of society in the case where (Propagation Delay, abbreviation PD) value, for example, radius of society is 20km When the uplink synchronous search window that uses using 512chips, search window generally uses 40- in the case where known PD value 50chips, i.e., if it is known that PD value, target NodeB can reduce search space, save NodeB process resource.But in reality LTE cell then needs more searching resources into the network switching process of UMTS cell, due to that can not obtain PD value, while In the case where resource-constrained, multiple switching UE need queuing to handle, and queue waiting time causes synchronization delayed time to increase, and especially exists In the case where frequent LTE cell to UMTS subzone network switching, queuing time is long, and time delay influence is big, so as to cause entirely cutting Change that interrupt time delay too long and seriously affect user experience.It in order to solve these problems, can be using provided by above-described embodiment Method reduces network switching delay.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart of another embodiment of the present invention method for switching network, and this method can be by the second network controller It realizes.The present embodiment is still using source eNB as first network access point, using target NodeB as the second network access point, with mesh RNC is marked as being illustrated for the second network controller, as shown in Fig. 2, this method can be carried out according to following process:
