Description

A kind of inter-frequency measurement method and device

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to an inter-frequency measurement method and device.

Background technique

The development of wireless cellular technology starts from the first generation of mobile communication (The 1st Generation, 1G), and has successively experienced the second generation of mobile communication (The 2nd Generation, 2G), the third generation of mobile communication (The 3rd-generation, 3G) ), and the latest development of the 4th Generation (The 4th Generation, 4G) based on the Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) technology. In general, a user terminal that supports 3G also supports 2G at the same time, and a user terminal that supports 4G also supports both 2G and 3G. A user terminal that supports multiple network modes at the same time is also called a multi-mode terminal, and a user terminal that supports 2G, 3G and 4G at the same time is called an LTE multi-mode terminal.

Multi-mode terminals need to support inter-neighbor interoperation under different network standards, including inter-cell reselection in idle state, inter-cell redirection in connected state, and inter-frequency inter-cell handover in the system. The premise of realizing the interoperation of these adjacent cells is that the user terminal needs to perform inter-frequency adjacent cell measurement. Due to the limitation of radio frequency parameters, the inter-frequency measurement capability of the user terminal is usually limited. For example, the maximum measurement capability of some user terminals is: the inter-frequency frequency points that can be measured simultaneously are at most 3 frequency division duplex (Frequency Division Duplex, FDD) LTE frequency points, 3 time division long term evolution (Time Division Long Term Evolution, TD-LTE frequency points, 3 wideband code division multiple access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) frequency points and 3 time division synchronization code division multiple access points address (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, TD-SCDMA) frequency.

At present, under the network architecture of inter-frequency networking, a large number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points are configured on the network side, including inter-system frequency points. For example, the number of TD-SCDMA inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points configured for a certain cell is not less than 9, and the number of TD-LTE inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points configured for a cell is not less than 6, which greatly exceeds the average user terminal can measure. The maximum number of TD-SCDMA inter-frequency adjacent frequency points and TD-LTE inter-frequency adjacent frequency points leads to the situation that the number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points configured on the network side does not match the measurement capability of the user terminal.

When the number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequencies of a certain network standard delivered by the network side exceeds the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the network standard that the user terminal supports to measure, the user terminal can only follow the measurement delivered by the network side. In order, the first few frequency points within the range of its own maximum measurement capability are taken for measurement, and the frequency points beyond the maximum measurement capability range are discarded. In this case, when the adjacent frequency points that meet the interoperability conditions are arranged later, it is likely to be discarded by the user terminal, and the user terminal will not measure the adjacent frequency points that meet the interoperability conditions. resulting in an interoperability failure.

Detailed ways

In order to make the purposes, 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 accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments These are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The following embodiments may refer to each other without inconsistency.

The embodiments of the present invention can be used for inter-frequency adjacent cell measurement in communication systems of various network standards, and inter-frequency adjacent cell measurement between different communication systems. Here, the communication systems of different network standards include: The 2nd Generation (2G) system based on Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM, Global System for Mobile communications) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA, Code Division Multiple Access). , based on Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access Wireless), CDMA2000 and Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) The 3rd generation mobile communication (The 3rd- generation, 3G) system, and the newly developed 4th generation (The 4th Generation, 4G) mobile communication (The 4th Generation, 4G) system based on the Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) technology.

The basic idea of the embodiment of the present invention is: when the number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard issued by the network side device received by the user terminal exceeds the number of inter-frequency adjacent cells under the set network standard that the user terminal supports to measure When the maximum number of adjacent cell frequency points, the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard delivered by the network side device are grouped, so that the number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points in each group is less than or equal to the The user terminal supports the measurement of the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard, and then the user terminal measures each group of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points respectively.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal can measure each group of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard, so that the user terminal does not need to discard the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points that exceed its own measurement capability range, avoiding the need for Interoperability failure occurs due to discarding inter-frequency adjacent frequency points that meet the interoperability conditions.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 , a flowchart of an inter-frequency measurement method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

S101: The user terminal receives the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard delivered by the network side device.

Here, different network standards correspond to different radio access technologies (Radio Access Technology, RAT).

In this step, the network measurement equipment configures and delivers measurable inter-frequency adjacent frequency points for the user terminal, and the inter-frequency adjacent frequency points can be specifically delivered in the measurement configuration information configured by the network side equipment. The network side device may specifically be a base station, and the base station may be a base station (BTS, Base Transceiver Station) in GSM or CDMA, a base station (NodeB) in WCDMA, or an evolved base station (evolutional NodeB) in LTE B, eNB), which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

S102: When the number of the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points delivered by the network side device exceeds the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard that the user terminal supports to measure, the user terminal sends the network The inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points delivered by the side device are grouped; wherein the number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points in each group is less than or equal to the inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the set network standard that the user terminal supports to measure maximum number of .

In this step, the user terminal compares the number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the set network standard issued by the network side device with the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the set network standard that it can support , if the number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the set network standard issued by the network side device is greater than the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the set network standard that it can support, then the network side device The inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points sent are divided into multiple groups, so that the number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points in each group does not exceed the maximum inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the set network standard that the user terminal supports to measure. number. For example, the number of TD-SCDMA inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points delivered by the network side equipment is 9, and the maximum number of TD-SCDMA inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points supported by the user terminal measurement is 3, then the user terminal can The TD-SCDMA inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points delivered by the side device are divided into three groups, and each group contains 3 TD-SCDMA inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points.

In a specific implementation process, when grouping the inter-frequency adjacent frequency points delivered by the network side device, the number of groups may be determined group of which, Represents rounded up, that is, the smallest integer greater than or equal to W÷P; W is the number of the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points delivered by the network side device, and P is the setting that the user terminal supports to measure. The maximum number of frequency points in the inter-frequency adjacent area under the specified network standard.

In actual implementation, the number of adjacent cell frequencies under the set network standard delivered by the network side device is not necessarily an integer multiple of the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequencies under the set network standard that the user terminal supports to measure. For example, in the above formula for determining the number of groups, when W=17, P=8, the number of groups is determined Based on this, in a specific implementation, the following two ways can be used to determine the number of frequency points in each group of inter-frequency adjacent regions.

The first is that the number of frequency points in each group of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points in the first M-1 groups after grouping is S _M-1 =P, and the number of frequency points in the M-th group of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points S _M =WS _M-1 (M -1).

In this way, in order to set the network standard, after grouping the inter-frequency adjacent frequency points delivered by the network side equipment according to the above formula, except for the last group, the number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points in each group is the number of users in each group. The maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points supported by the terminal under the set network standard. The number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points in the last group is the number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points issued by the network side device minus the first few. The number remaining after the number of adjacent frequency points in the inter-frequency group. For example, when W=17, P=8, and the number of groups M=3, after grouping in this way, the number of frequency points in the inter-frequency adjacent areas in each group is 8, 8, and 1 in sequence.

The second is the number of frequency points in each group of inter-frequency neighbors in the first M-1 group after grouping The number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points in the Mth group S _M =WS _M-1 (M-1).

This way is to use an average idea. That is, for setting the network standard, after grouping the inter-frequency adjacent frequency points delivered by the network side equipment according to the above formula, except for the last group, the number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points in each group is the The number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points sent by the group is divided by the number of groups and then rounded up. The number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points in the last group is the number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points issued by the network side device minus the previous value. The number remaining after several groups of frequency points in different frequency neighbors. For example, when W=17, P=8, and the number of groups M=3, after grouping in this way, the number of frequency points in the inter-frequency adjacent areas in each group is 6, 6, and 5 in sequence.

S103: The user terminal respectively measures the frequency points of each group of inter-frequency adjacent cells under the set network standard.

In this step, after the user terminal groups the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points delivered by the network side device according to the measurement order, the user terminal can measure the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points in each group at the same time, and the measured The measurement results that meet the reporting conditions (or the adjacent cell interoperability conditions) are reported to the network side device; here, the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions may include the signal quality of the adjacent cell frequency points when the signal quality of the adjacent cell is greater than the set threshold. information, and may also include the signal quality information of the local cell when the signal quality of the local cell is lower than the set threshold.

In the specific implementation process, after measuring a group of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points, the user terminal may report the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions in the group of measurements to the network side device. After the regional frequency points, it is determined that there is no measurement result that meets the reporting conditions in this group of measurements, and then the measurement of the next group of frequency points is continued; the network side device can receive the first group of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points reported by the user terminal. During the measurement report, the target frequency for the user terminal to perform the neighbor interoperation is determined, and the user terminal is triggered to perform the neighbor interoperation within the system or between systems. The neighbor interoperation here includes cell redirection, cell reselection, and cell handover. , such as triggering the user terminal to perform redirection from an LTE cell to a 3G cell. The network side device may also start a timer after receiving the first measurement report reported by the user terminal. If the user terminal has not received measurement reports on other adjacent frequency points from the user terminal after the timer expires, determine that the user terminal executes the measurement report. The target frequency point for the interoperation of adjacent cells; if the user terminal's measurement report on other adjacent cell frequency points is received before the timer expires, all the measurement reports previously reported by the user terminal are combined to determine the best target frequency point, The user terminal is instructed to perform neighbor interoperation for the target frequency point.

The user terminal can also report the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions to the network side device after measuring all groups of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points; after receiving the measurement report reported by the user terminal, the network side device selects the most The optimal target frequency is instructed to instruct the user terminal to perform neighbor interoperation for the target frequency.

Preferably, in the above step, after receiving the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard issued by the network side device, and before grouping the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points issued by the network side device, further include:

Delete the frequency points that are not within the physical frequency point range corresponding to the frequency band supported by the self-supported frequency points from the frequency points of the inter-frequency adjacent area; and/or,

The frequency points for which no signal can be searched are deleted from the frequency points in the inter-frequency adjacent area.

In the specific implementation process, before the user terminal performs the neighbor cell measurement, it can preliminarily screen the inter-frequency neighbor cell frequency points delivered by the network side device, for example, delete the frequency points that it does not support (that is, the frequency points that are not supported by itself). The frequency points within the physical frequency point range corresponding to the frequency band) and/or the adjacent area frequency points where the signal cannot be detected, after preliminary screening, the number of the remaining inter-frequency frequency points under each network standard and their own support Compare the measured maximum number of inter-frequency points under this network format, if the remaining number of inter-frequency points under this network format is still larger than the maximum number of inter-frequency points under this network format that supports measurement , then perform grouping processing.

In the above embodiment, the frequency points within the range of physical frequency points corresponding to the frequency band (Band) supported by the user terminal not only include the frequency points whose frequency point number is within the range of the frequency point number of the frequency band supported by the user terminal, but also include such frequency points. The frequency point of the frequency point is not within the range of the frequency point number of the frequency band it supports, but the physical frequency point corresponding to the frequency point number is within the range of the physical frequency point corresponding to the frequency band it supports. For example, there are two frequency bands, namely Band38 and Band41. The frequency range of Band38 is 2570MHz (abbreviated as MHz) to 2620MHz, and the corresponding frequency point numbers are 37750 to 38249. The frequency range of Band41 is 2496MHz to 2690MHz, and the corresponding frequency point No. 39650～41589. It can be seen that Band38 and Band41 have different frequency point numbers, but their physical frequency point ranges overlap. If the frequency band supported by the user terminal is Band41 but does not support Band38, but the adjacent cell frequency number issued by the network side device is the frequency number 37950 of Band38, and the frequency number is not within the range of the Band41 frequency number supported by the user terminal, However, the physical frequency point 2590 MHz corresponding to the frequency point number is within the physical frequency point range of 2496 MHz to 2690 MHz supported by the user terminal, so the user terminal can measure the frequency point.

The present invention will be further described below through an embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2 , a flowchart of an inter-frequency measurement method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention includes the following steps:

S201: The network side device delivers the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under each network standard to be measured to the user terminal.

In actual implementation, the inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points delivered by the network side equipment may be in multiple network standards; the user terminal needs to perform the measurement separately according to the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under each network system that supports measurement. the following operations.

S202: After receiving the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points under the set network standard issued by the network side device, the user terminal deletes the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points that are not within the range of the physical frequency points corresponding to the frequency band supported by itself from the inter-frequency adjacent cell frequency points frequency points, and frequency points where the signal cannot be searched by itself.

S203: For any network standard, the user terminal determines whether the number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequencies under the network standard remaining after S202 is greater than the number of inter-frequency adjacent cell frequencies under the network standard that it supports for measurement. The maximum number, if yes, go to step S205; otherwise, go to step S204.

S204: The user terminal measures the remaining inter-frequency adjacent frequency points in the network standard.

S205: The user terminal groups the remaining inter-frequency adjacent frequency points; wherein the number of groups Group, Represents rounded up, W is the number of the remaining inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points, P is the maximum number of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the set network standard that the user terminal supports to measure; The number of frequency points in each group of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points in the M-1 group before and after S _M-1 =P or The number of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points in the Mth group S _M =WS _M-1 (M-1).

S206: The user terminal measures each group of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points respectively.

Here, when the inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points delivered by the network side device are under multiple network standards, after the inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under the multiple network standards are grouped respectively, the Combined measurement is performed on each group of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points. For example, if the frequency points of the inter-frequency adjacent area under the network standard 1 are divided into 3 groups, and the frequency points of the inter-frequency adjacent area under the network standard 2 are divided into 2 groups, the first group of inter-frequency adjacent areas under the network standard 1 can be divided into three groups. The area frequency points and the first group of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under network standard 2 are combined into one group for measurement, and the second group of inter-frequency adjacent area frequency points under network standard 1 and the second group of different frequency adjacent area frequency points under network standard 2 The frequency points in the adjacent frequency areas are combined into a group for measurement, and the third group of frequency points in the inter-frequency adjacent area under the network standard 1 is measured separately.

S207: After measuring a group of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points, the user terminal reports the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions to the network side device; or, after measuring all groups of inter-frequency adjacent frequency points, reports The measurement result of the condition is reported to the network side device.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention also provides an inter-frequency measurement device corresponding to the inter-frequency measurement method. Reference may be made to the implementation of the method, and repeated descriptions will not be repeated.
