Background
In a cell handover, if the target cell and the serving cell belong to the same RNC (Radio network controller), the handover is called an intra-RNC handover.

Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
One of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present application is to determine whether there is a pilot value of an event cell in a measurement report when a neighboring cell is the event cell, and switch the UE to the event cell if there is no pilot value. If yes, further judging whether the received signal strength value of the event cell minus the corresponding penalty value meets a cut-in threshold, if yes, switching the UE to the event cell
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a step of embodiment 1 of a cell handover method according to the present application is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:
step 101, obtaining a measurement report reported by User Equipment (UE);
RNC sends down Measurement Control information (Measurement Control) to configure UE to measure corresponding neighboring cells (including service cells), wherein the Measurement Control information is as follows: including the triggering conditions for measurement reporting, and the measurement events that need to be performed. When the UE finds that the Measurement Report conditions are met, reporting the corresponding Measurement result to the RNC through a Measurement Report (Measurement Report).
Step 102, determining a target cell according to a measurement report, and determining a current serving cell of the UE;
the measurement report includes information of each measurement event of the current serving cell and the neighboring cell of the UE, and the RNC may use the event cell as a target cell according to the information of the measurement event.
103, judging whether a measurement report has a pilot frequency value of the target cell;
the pilot value is specifically PCCPCH-RSCP (Primary Common Control Physical channel-Received Signal Code Power). RSCP is the received power for a certain code channel. PCCPCH-RSCP refers to the received signal code power for the primary common control physical channel PCCPCH.
Step 104, if not, the UE is switched from the serving cell to the target cell;
in an external field (commercial public network), sometimes, a situation that the UE does not report the RSCP of the event cell occurs, so that although the RSCP of the event cell is strong and the RSCP of the resident serving cell is weak, handover cannot be triggered, and user perception is affected. Therefore, when the pilot frequency value of the target cell is not received, the UE can be directly tangent to the target cell without the reported pilot frequency value.
Step 105, if yes, obtaining a received signal strength value of the target cell;
and if the pilot frequency value of the target cell exists in the check report, acquiring the received signal strength value of the target cell from the measurement report.
Specifically, if the cell is a TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division multiple Access) cell, PCCPCH-RSCP is used as the received signal strength value. PCCPCH-RSCP refers to the received signal code power for the primary common control physical channel PCCPCH.
If the cell is a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) cell, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is used as the Received Signal Strength value. The RSSI represents the sum of all signal powers received by the UE at a certain frequency point in a certain time slot, and the RSSI cannot distinguish the signal power of the local cell from the signal power of other cells.
Step 106, judging whether the difference value of the penalty value of the preset target cell subtracted from the received signal strength value is greater than or equal to a preset target cell cut-in threshold or not;
in the embodiment of the present application, in the RNC system, a penalty value is set for each cell. When judging whether to cut into the cell, the RNC system subtracts the received signal strength value of the cell, judges whether the obtained difference value is more than or equal to the cut-in threshold corresponding to the cell, and if so, the UE is cut into the cell from the original service cell.
And if the threshold is smaller than the cell switching-in threshold, not switching.
Step 107, if yes, switching the UE from the serving cell to the target cell.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the neighboring cell is the event cell, the neighboring cell that is the event cell is taken as the target cell. Firstly, judging whether a pilot frequency value of a target cell exists in a measurement report; and if not, switching the UE to the target cell. If yes, whether the received signal strength value of the target cell minus the corresponding penalty value meets a cut-in threshold is further judged, and if yes, the UE is switched to the target cell. Whether switching needs to be carried out is judged through setting up the judgment condition in the embodiment of the application, UE frequent switching is avoided, a scene of table tennis switching is avoided, switching processing burden of an RNC system is reduced, and user perception is improved.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a step of embodiment 2 of a cell handover method according to the present application is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:
step 201, obtaining a measurement report reported by User Equipment (UE);
step 202, determining a target cell according to the measurement report, and determining a current serving cell of the UE;
as a preferred example of the embodiment of the present application, the measurement report further includes: 1G/2A measurement event; the step of determining the target cell according to the measurement report may specifically include the following sub-steps:
a substep S11 of extracting the 1G/2A measurement event from the measurement report;
1G is a cell-oriented co-frequency measurement algorithm, which indicates that a TDD (Time Division duplex) best cell changes. 2A is a cell-oriented non-coverage based inter-frequency measurement algorithm, indicating that the best frequency changes.
And when the UE detects that the adjacent cell is superior to the service cell, reporting the 1G/2A measurement event. The 1G/2A measurement event records the measurement results of each neighboring cell of the neighboring cells.
Substep S12, extracting an event cell from the 1G/2A measurement event;
the event cell is a cell with an optimal measurement result in the adjacent cell;
and a substep S13 of setting the event cell as a target cell.
The event cell is used as a target cell which can be switched into.
Step 203, judging whether the measurement report has the pilot frequency value of the target cell;
step 204, if not, the UE is switched from the serving cell to the target cell;
step 205, if yes, obtaining a received signal strength value of the target cell;
step 206, judging whether the difference value of the penalty value of the preset target cell subtracted from the received signal strength value is greater than or equal to a preset target cell cut-in threshold or not;
step 207, if yes, switching the UE from the serving cell to the target cell;
step 208, after the handover is completed, increasing a penalty value corresponding to the serving cell, and starting a penalty timer for the serving cell;
in the RNC system, the penalty value for the serving cell as the handover cell is increased each time a handover is completed. And a penalty timer is started for the serving cell.
Specifically, a penalty step is set in the RNC, and a penalty step is added to the penalty value every time handover is completed. The penalty step length can be 1-15 dB; preferably, 3dB is used as the default penalty step. The value range of the timing duration of the penalty timer can be 0-65535 s; preferably, 300s is used as the default timing duration.
As a preferred example of the embodiment of the present application, the step 208 may specifically include the following sub-steps:
and a substep S21, setting the penalty value of the serving cell to be the preset maximum penalty value when the penalty value corresponding to the serving cell is greater than the preset maximum penalty value.
And after the penalty value is increased, the penalty value exceeds a preset maximum penalty value, and the maximum penalty value is used as a penalty value corresponding to the cell.
Specifically, the value range of the maximum penalty value can be 1-60 dB; preferably, 30dB is used as the maximum penalty value.
And step 209, before the penalty timer is overtime, saving a penalty value corresponding to the serving cell.
Before the timer is overtime, the punishment value of the corresponding service cell is kept effective.
Step 210, after the penalty timer is overtime, clearing a penalty value corresponding to the serving cell;
and when the penalty timer reaches the corresponding overtime, resetting the penalty value corresponding to the cell, and setting the initial penalty value of the cell as 0.
For each UE, the RNC needs to maintain ping-pong handover penalty values and ping-pong handover penalty timers for the serving cell and each neighbor cell, the initial ping-pong handover penalty value is 0, and the maintenance of the parameters of the serving cell is because a situation in which a switch-out cut-in occurs repeatedly before the timer times out may occur. In addition, if the cell that was previously switched out is not a neighbor cell of the current serving cell, but the ping-pong handover penalty timer is still valid, the ping-pong handover penalty value and the ping-pong handover penalty timer of the cell still need to be saved
In a preferred example of the embodiment of the present application, the method may further include the following steps:
and when the UE is switched back to the serving cell from other cells and is switched out from the serving cell again before the penalty timer corresponding to the serving cell is overtime, increasing the penalty value corresponding to the serving cell and restarting the penalty timer corresponding to the serving cell. And if the penalty value exceeds the preset maximum penalty value after the penalty value is increased, taking the maximum penalty value as the penalty value corresponding to the cell.
In order to enable a person skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the following description is given by way of an example:
suppose that the cells ABC are adjacent cells, and the punishment step length set by the RNC is S.
Cell a is the initial serving cell for the UE. In an initial state, the penalty value Qa corresponding to the cell A is 0; the penalty value Qb corresponding to the cell B is 0; the penalty value corresponding to cell C is Qc 0; closing a penalty timer Ta corresponding to the cell A; closing a punishment timer Tb corresponding to the cell B; the penalty timer Tc corresponding to cell C is closed.
The UE is handed over from cell a to cell B. At this time, the penalty value Qa corresponding to the cell a is S; the penalty value Qb corresponding to the cell B is 0; the penalty value Qc corresponding to the cell C is 0; starting a penalty timer Ta corresponding to the cell A; closing a punishment timer Tb corresponding to the cell B; the penalty timer Tc corresponding to cell C is closed.
Before Ta times out, the UE is handed back from cell B to cell a. At this time, the penalty value Qa corresponding to the cell a is S; the penalty value Qb corresponding to the cell B is S; the penalty value Qc corresponding to the cell C is 0; starting a penalty timer Ta corresponding to the cell A; starting a penalty timer Tb corresponding to the cell B; the penalty timer Tc corresponding to cell C is closed.
Before Ta times out, the UE is handed over from cell a to cell C. At this time, the penalty value Qa corresponding to the cell a is 2S; the penalty value Qb corresponding to the cell B is S; the penalty value Qc corresponding to the cell C is 0; restarting a penalty timer Ta corresponding to the cell A; starting a penalty timer Tb corresponding to the cell B; the penalty timer Tc corresponding to cell C is closed.
If Ta is overtime, the penalty value Qa corresponding to the cell A is 0; the penalty value Qb corresponding to the cell B is S; the penalty value Qc corresponding to the cell C is 0; closing a penalty timer Ta corresponding to the cell A; starting a penalty timer Tb corresponding to the cell B; the penalty timer Tc corresponding to cell C is closed.
In a preferred example of the embodiment of the present application, the method may further include the following steps:
if the serving cell and the target cell in the current switching process belong to different signaling boards, terminating a penalty timer which belongs to the first signaling board and corresponds to the cell which is not overtime, and resetting a corresponding penalty value; the first signaling board is a signaling board to which the serving cell of the current switching process belongs; the non-overtime cell is a serving cell of a handover process before the UE and provided with a non-overtime penalty timer.
For example, first, a first handover is performed, and the UE is handed over from the cell a belonging to the service board a to the cell B belonging to the service board a; after the handover is completed, the penalty value Qa for the cell a is increased, and a penalty timer Ta for the cell a is started.
Then, switching for the second time, and switching the UE from the cell B belonging to the service board A to the cell C belonging to the service board C; after the handover is completed, the penalty value Qb for the cell B is increased, and a penalty timer Tb for the cell B is started.
The second handover process is the current handover process, and the current handover belongs to inter-board handover because the cell C and the cell B belong to different signaling boards. The signaling board a is a signaling board to which a serving cell (cell B) belongs in the current handover process.
When the source plate UE is switched out of a plurality of cells, the cells switched out before and the penalty timer are not overtime possibly, and only the penalty value and the penalty timer of the last time of switching out the cells are saved.
For example, if the penalty timer for the handover out cell (cell a) of the UE's previous handover procedure is not yet expired, i.e., cell a is an unexpired cell. The RNC terminates the penalty timer for cell a and clears the penalty value for cell a.
After the inter-board switching process, the RNC only stores the penalty timer and the corresponding penalty value of the service cell of the UE in the current switching process.
And if the inter-board handover is performed, namely the serving cell and the target cell in the current handover process belong to the same signaling board, keeping the non-overtime penalty timer and the corresponding penalty value of the switched-out cell of each handover of the UE.
