Description

A kind of LTE-Hi cell discovery method based on macro base station reference signal TOA estimation
Technical field
The invention belongs to mobile communication technology fields, are related to a kind of LTE-Hi based on macro base station reference signal TOA estimation Cell finds method.
Background technique
In recent years, wireless data traffic rapid development, and the overwhelming majority occurs indoors and hot zones.However, at present Mobile communication system provide service mainly for macro covering scene, indoor and hot zones user need cannot be met well It asks.For the further demand of hot spot and in-door covering, 3GPP proposes cell enhancing (small in Release-12 Cell enhancement, SCE) solution, particularly, slight area's indoor scene therein and hot spot scene are and current Industry hot research technology LTE-Hi design scenario, technical solution in terms of it is closely related, the two is direct Emphasis carries out the scene and target of service coverage towards hot spot region and room area.
Other than relative to the coverage area difference of macrocell (macro cell), small-cell base station typically refers to volume Small, light-weight, transmission power is low and support the base station of less carrier number, it can make up macrocell covering (such as hot spot Area and the deployment of indoor depth) deficiency.In outdoor hot zones, cell can provide load bridging (data for macrocell Offloading), alleviate the service traffics pressure of macrocell.Also, cell can also polymerize with carrier wave, LTE-U is (unauthorized Frequency range LTE system) etc. new technologies combine, improve network throughput by increasing access bandwidth.However, small-cell base station Deployment also brings complicated heterogeneous network interference control and eliminates, complicated user access control other than bringing above-mentioned advantage Management and small-cell base station between multi-hop synchronisation requirement the problems such as.In addition, cell is not only for LTE-Hi system It supports the deployment in macrocell coverage area, also to support the independent deployment not in the coverage area of macrocell, such as Deep indoor scene.It is worth noting that the maximum difference of the indoor and outdoor deployment of LTE-Hi cell is user equipment The mobility of (User Equipment, UE).In indoor scene, it is mobile that UE generally remains static or low speed, and in outdoor scene Middle UE may then have the faster UE of relative moving speed.
The small cell deployment of LTE-Hi system is generally more intensive, and the coverage area of single cell is small, and UE need to be from numerous It is found in cell and filters out the cell for being most suitable for oneself and carrying out service connection, is i.e. UE is realized by cell discovery technique From the process for being transformed into and communicating with small-cell base station is communicated with macro base station, business is diverted to cell from macrocell to reach Purpose.Currently, the cell discovery mechanism in LTE system is to utilize primary synchronization signal (Primary Synchronization Signal, PSS), secondary synchronization signal (Secondary Synchronization Signal, SSS) and cell specific reference The detection of signal (Cell-specific Reference Signal, CRS) is realized.For LTE-Hi system, in order to allow UE Traditional LTE cell discovery mechanism can be used in the presence for detecting and finding LTE-Hi cell, i.e. UE is in LTE-Hi cell The PSS/SSS/CRS signal that small-cell base station issues is searched on the working frequency range of base station, to complete cell discovery.Due to The working frequency range of LTE-Hi small-cell base station is in 3.5GHz, so the discovery procedure of its cell is in the work different from macro base station Make to carry out in frequency range, but discovery mechanism and process flow are completely the same.Relative to traditional LTE cell discovery procedure, LTE- Hi cell discovery procedure is that one kind carries out scanning (inter- between frequency between macro base station and small-cell base station working frequency range Frequency scanning, IFS) process, therefore, IFS also just become LTE-Hi cell discovery core procedure and pass Key problem.It is worth noting that for the ease of difference UE on different frequency bands IFS operation, here with frequency detection (or with frequency Scanning) refer to UE for macro cell base station signal measurement detect, and with alien frequencies detection (or different frequency scanning) refer to UE for The measurement of LTE-Hi small-cell base station signal detects.
The main problem that LTE-Hi cell discovery technique is faced is: (1) UE is carrying out the small cell discovery based on IFS When, consumed energy (or power) can increase because of the increase of surveyed carrier number.(2) increasing with cell, When carrying out cell IFS search, needing to carry out alien frequencies detection a large amount of, under the fixed cycle, (" alien frequencies " here refers in particular to UE With the different LTE-Hi cell frequency range of macro base station frequency range).Under many actual conditions, some IFS operations are for UE It is unnecessary, such as when UE is only to quickly move through small cell coverage area, even if UE has found the presence of cell, Since it is in the of short duration residence time of the cell, UE will not be by service distributing to small cell.In this case IFS is past Toward the big energy that can waste UE.In addition, if UE is in except the small cell coverage area of LTE-Hi, IFS repeatedly is grasped at this time Make to be even more unhelpful, wastes the power consumption of UE.(3) UE is during carrying out IFS, it is also possible to by multiple small in cell cluster The influence of severe jamming between the cell base station discovery signal transmitted and reference signal.In conclusion the discovery of cell Mechanism and technical solution, the main starting point, which is that, solves the problems, such as above-mentioned three, wherein the target of core first is that from UE Efficiency (energy efficiency) angle is set out, and realizes UE to the quick of cell with lower energy penalty as much as possible Effectively discovery, using cell and to realize service distributing.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of cell discovery sides based on macro base station signal TOA estimation Method.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the invention provides the following technical scheme:

1) geographic area in macrocell network coverage area is planned in advance, i.e., is distributed according to the deployment of cell The adjacent domain of each cell is divided into multiple regional areas by situation, and is not overlapped between each regional area;
2) multiple UE are distributed to each regional area by network system, the UE in each regional area is in its regional location It obtains from neighbouring macro base station signal, and measures corresponding TOA data group, then report network system or progress are locally deposited Storage, forms initial TOA fingerprint database;
3) UE cyclically carries out the TOA estimation of macro-cell signals as unit of cycle T s, if looking in TOA fingerprint database It is then entered step 4) to the fingerprint to match with some regional area, the arrival for otherwise waiting for next cycle re-starts Matching operation;
4) flag byte SCStatusFlag is added in every TOA fingerprint for recording corresponding cell work at present State has matched the flag byte in fingerprint by network system inspection, if SCStatusFlag is labeled as Active or Idle shape State then triggers UE and carries out the discovery of IFS cell;Otherwise return step 3);
5) UE carries out IFS operation on cell working frequency range, if correctly having found some small cell in the process Presence, then gravity treatment and the cell is resident or by ongoing macro base station service switching to the cell, with regard to this completion The operation of cell discovery.
Further, after completing primary cell discovery, fingerprint database successfully carries out cell discovery according to this time TOA estimated value carries out data smoothing update processing to TOA finger print data corresponding in fingerprint database.
Further, when UE is in the scene gradually left current service cell and can not be switched to other cells When, UE return step 3), restart new cell discovery operation.
Further, flag byte UEStatusFlag is added in every TOA fingerprint for judging UE moving condition, UE Current movement speed critical value are as follows: vmax=2ri/ Ts will not trigger the IFS operation of UE, wherein r when more than the critical valueiFor The reference signal TOA measurement error control parameter of i-th of regional area in network.
Further, the fingerprint to match described in step 3) refers in the TOA estimated value that UE is reported and database certain The TOA numerical value mean square error δ that fingerprint is included meets preset range, i.e.-β < δ < β, β=10log [(R+r)/(R-r)]+η, Wherein R is small coverage radius of cell, and r is defined as the limit of error of reference signal measurements of arrival time, and η is error transfer factor parameter.
Further, UE should carry out after powering once without fingerprint matching triggering pressure IFS operation, then again into Enter the operation under TOA fingerprint matching scheme.
Further, it after UE is resident or is switched to newfound cell, can be carried out using two methods macro small Gravity treatment or switching between Qu Yu little cell:
1) UE carries out finger print data acquisition as the period using Ts and matching is searched for, if UE can not find matched cell, It needs to retract macrocell and obtains access link;If the matching fingerprint that UE is found is consistent with current cell fingerprint, UE is protected It holds and resides in current cell;If the matching fingerprint that UE is found is from new cell, UE needs gravity treatment or is switched to New cell;
2) UE uses the s-Measure measurement mechanism of LTE system on cell working frequency range, if UE monitors to service The signal strength of cell starts to weaken and has the tendency that switching back to macrocell, then can be with return step 3), restart small cell It was found that operation, so that UE prepares gravity treatment or switches back into macrocell.
The beneficial effects of the present invention are: compared with traditional LTE cell finds scheme, the present invention program can be by UE's IFS alien frequencies detection zone control in the range of a very little (range should and can be determined as being in by network unlatching or The small cell coverage area of certain of person's idle state), except UE is in this range or when it is only quickly through this region, TOA fingerprint can not generate matching to motivate the IFS movement for causing UE, thus reduce and evade the invalid IFS alien frequencies of UE in large quantities Number is detected, to preferably solve the problems, such as energy consumption efficiency of the UE when carrying out cell discovery.In addition, relative to traditional base It is proposed by the present invention to be based in macrocell/situation of the cell detection scheme vulnerable to noise and interference effect of RSSI/RSRP measurement The design of TOA fingerprint and the matched IFS scheme of search, can further improve the validity and reliability of cell discovery.

Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with attached drawing, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
Fig. 1 is signaling process figure of the invention, and implementer's case of the invention is based on multiple macro cell base stations with reference to letter Number the characteristic that has differences of UE for being located at diverse geographic location is reached, network area can be subjected to compartmentalization (or gridding) Processing, propose by macro base station time of arrival (toa) estimation based on, construct TOA fingerprint database, to geographical location locating for UE into Row fingerprint matching search and positioning assessment, whether there is the cell that may have service distributing ability to determine around UE, from And finally realize the purpose of LTE-Hi system cell discovery.
Specifically, the expansion of the present invention program is implemented to include three primary condition and seven key steps set forth below:
Primary condition 1: the geographic area in macrocell network coverage area planned in advance, and according to the portion of cell Administration's distribution situation is divided into M regional area, and (each regional area can be considered a geography network near some small-cell base station Lattice, size can be arranged according to the reasonable complexity and small cell coverage area identification precision that system or network are supported).
Primary condition 2: being specified by system or distributed multiple UE, each regional area delimited in primary condition 1 in advance Interior progress TOA initialization survey estimation.UE in each regional area can get in its regional location from N number of nearby Macro base station signal, and measure corresponding TOA data group, then report network system.
Primary condition 3: the finger print data that network system is reported according to UE is collected in primary condition 2, according in primary condition 1 Corresponding M regional area division, forms initial TOA fingerprint database, the fingerprint database can be stored in network-side or Person is directly issued to each UE and carries out remote storage.The specific composition of TOA fingerprint database as shown in Table 1, in database in total Comprising M fingerprint, each finger print data is by the TOA estimated value from N number of macro cell base station signal, corresponding N number of macrocell ID And 2 flag byte (SCStatusFlag, UEStatusFlag) compositions.Particularly, consider that the working condition of cell can It can be dynamic, it is possible in unlatching (Active), idle (Idle) or states such as (Closed) are closed, in each fingerprint 1 flag byte SCStatusFlag have recorded the current working status of the corresponding cell of TOA fingerprint.Consider UE in net Moving condition in network can be divided into static (Stationary), low speed (Low Speed), middling speed (Middle Speed) and height Fast (High Speed) etc., also increases 1 flag byte UEStatusFlag, the related moving condition as UE in fingerprint Judgement record.
1 macro base station signal TOA fingerprint database of table
Fig. 2 is step flow chart of the invention, mainly includes following seven steps referring to Fig. 2 present invention.
Step 1: assuming that the target UE for needing to carry out cell discovery is in some area in macrocell network coverage area Domain, then target UE can be received in the area from neighbouring multiple macro cell base station signals.Attempt to carry out cell in UE It was found that IFS operation before, UE first cyclically carried out as unit of cycle T s macro-cell signals TOA estimation.
Step 2: target UE, can be therefrom by measuring and handling the reference signal from multiple macro cell base stations around Find the strongest macro base station reference signal of N number of signal and thus to obtain the cell ID of each corresponding macrocell.Believe in the reception of UE In number, sliding related operation is carried out by the local signal generated with UE, and searches for the position of correlation peak appearance, UE can estimate Count out the TOA numerical value that N number of macro-cell signals reach UE.On the basis of this N number of TOA estimated data, UE is combined into one TOA finger print data group, and report network (or being locally stored).
Step 3: being reported to the TOA finger print data of network, carries out one by one with each TOA fingerprint in TOA fingerprint database Matching search, matches (i.e. and if only if certain TOA fingerprint in the TOA finger print data and TOA fingerprint database (being shown in Table 1) The mean square error δ of TOA numerical value included in certain fingerprint is in a preset model in the TOA estimated value and database that UE is reported In enclosing, i.e.-β < δ < β, and macrocell ID contained by this fingerprint is strictly one by one in the UE N number of macrocell ID and database that report It is corresponding) when, i.e., it is believed that having found matched TOA fingerprint.β=10log [(R+r)/(R-r)]+η, wherein R is small MPS process Radius, r are defined as the limit of error of reference signal measurements of arrival time, and η is error transfer factor parameter.About TOA fingerprint matching essence The understanding of degree control parameter is referred to Fig. 3.If UE locally has fingerprint database, the fingerprint matching search behaviour of this step Make just to complete at the end UE.If the condition of this step is unsatisfactory for, i.e. UE does not find matched fingerprint, then the operation of UE returns to step Rapid one, and wait next TsAfter the arrival in period, then the operation new at the beginning from step.
Step 4: it under conditions of having determined fingerprint matching in step 3, has been matched in fingerprint by network system inspection Two flag bytes.If SCStatusFlag is labeled as " Active/Idle " state, it is believed that UE carries out the base of IFS This condition is fully met, and system starts to carry out the cell signal detection based on IFS for UE is triggered.If the condition of this step is not Meet, then the operation return step one of UE, and waits next TsAfter period arrives, then the operation new at the beginning from step.
Step 5: UE carries out IFS operation on cell working frequency range, if correctly having found some in the process The presence of cell then gravity treatment and is resident the cell or by ongoing macro base station service switching to the cell, just This completes the operation of cell discovery.Fingerprint database successfully carries out the TOA estimated value of cell discovery according to this, to fingerprint Corresponding TOA finger print data carries out data smoothing update processing in database, to improve the essence of TOA numerical value in fingerprint database Exactness.
Step 6: it is resident or after being switched to newfound cell in UE, can be carried out using two kinds of mechanism macrocells/ Gravity treatment or switching between cell:
Mechanism one, UE can continue to use the discovery scheme of the cell based on TOA fingerprint database, still carry out by the period of Ts Finger print data obtains and matching search.If in the process, UE can not find matched cell, then needs to retract macrocell and obtain Access is taken to link;If the matching TOA fingerprint that UE is found is consistent with current cell fingerprint, UE holding resides in current small Cell;If the matching fingerprint that UE is found is from new cell, UE needs gravity treatment or is switched to new small cell.
Mechanism two, UE can also not use the TOA fingerprint matching scheme based on macro-cell signals to carry out remaining slight The operation of area's gravity treatment or switching, but the s-Measure measurement mechanism of LTE system is used on cell working frequency range.Such as Fruit UE monitors that the signal strength for servicing cell starts to weaken and has the tendency that switching back to macrocell, then can be with return step One, the cell discovery scheme based on TOA fingerprint database mechanism is restarted, so that UE prepares gravity treatment or switches back into macro small Area.
It is worth noting that the UE in the case of mechanism 1 needs to keep the alien frequencies dual link with macro base station and cell, but ring It answers speed fast, is suitble to UE between the static mobility scene between low-medium speed;And mechanism 2 need to keep and macro base station or small The single connection of cell, static compared with suitable UE or low speed movement scene.
Step 7: when UE, which is in, gradually to be left current service cell and can not be switched to the scene of other cells, UE needs return step one, restarts new cell discovery operation.
Finally, it is stated that preferred embodiment above is only used to illustrate the technical scheme of the present invention and not to limit it, although logical It crosses above preferred embodiment the present invention is described in detail, however, those skilled in the art should understand that, can be Various changes are made to it in form and in details, without departing from claims of the present invention limited range.
