Description

Access control method, access method, device, base station, user equipment and entity
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a base station, a user equipment, and a mobility management entity for controlling carrier aggregation access between base stations.
Background
With the rapid development of mobile communication systems, a future Long Term Evolution (LTE) or Long-term Evolution-enhanced (LTE-a) system needs to provide higher-rate and wider-coverage service transmission to meet the demand of people for higher-rate communication services. As spectrum resources become more scarce, in the prior art, in order to further improve the spectrum efficiency and the system throughput of the system, a novel Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology is proposed, and the CA technology has been proposed as one of important system enhancement technologies in an evolution version in an LTE-a system.
Currently, for the evolution of carrier aggregation in the third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) standard, the signaling and requirements defined in the standard for carrier aggregation technology are mainly for the intra-eNB scenario, i.e. the primary cell and the secondary cell serving a certain User Equipment (UE) share one "site", which is mainly controlled by one base station.
However, the carrier aggregation scenario is not limited to the intra-eNB, and in an actual carrier aggregation operation scenario, a situation that the primary cell and the secondary cell are "not co-sited" may occur, which is carrier aggregation between base stations. Inter-base station carrier aggregation may be further classified into carrier aggregation between macro base stations and Low Power Nodes (LPNs). In the current standard, the content related to carrier aggregation between base stations is less, and for an access control algorithm, because addition and deletion of a primary cell to a secondary cell both need to perform corresponding signaling interaction through an X2 port or an S1 port, the flow of access control is completely different from that of an intra-eNB.
Therefore, in the prior art, because the primary cell and the secondary cell do not share the same site, the primary cell knows less information about the resource condition of the secondary cell, and how to perform signaling interaction between the primary cell and the secondary cell effectively ensures that the UE can be more effectively accessed into the network, thereby improving the success rate of random access of the UE, and further improving the throughput and user experience of the entire network.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a flowchart of a method for controlling carrier aggregation access between base stations according to an embodiment of the present invention; the method comprises the following steps:
step 101: receiving a radio resource management measurement report sent by user equipment supporting carrier aggregation;
wherein, the radio resource management measurement report received by the source serving node to which the primary cell belongs is a measurement report related to Radio Resource Management (RRM), the measurement report is a RRM measurement report of a User Equipment (UE) at each frequency point and each node, and the content of the measurement report includes: reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement, Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurement, or other measurement, although this embodiment is not limited thereto.
Wherein, the radio resource management measurement report may further include target serving node information to which the secondary cell belongs.
Among them, in carrier aggregation, a Cell responsible for network connection and resource configuration for a user equipment, and performing radio link re-establishment and handover of the user equipment is referred to as a "Primary Cell" (Pcell). In addition to the primary Cell, a Cell that maintains radio resource connection with the user equipment and provides additional spectrum resources for data transmission is called a "Secondary Cell" (Scell).
Step 102: acquiring an auxiliary cell frequency point selected for the user equipment by a target service node to which an auxiliary cell belongs according to the radio resource management measurement report, and corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resources;
in this embodiment, a source serving node to which a primary cell (Pcell) belongs obtains an auxiliary cell frequency point selected for the user equipment by a target serving node to which an auxiliary cell (Scell) belongs, and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource, in two ways:
the first way of obtaining is: the source service node of the main cell directly sends a resource request message of the auxiliary cell to a target service node of the auxiliary cell according to the radio resource management measurement report, wherein the resource request message of the auxiliary cell comprises: the source service node selects an auxiliary cell frequency point list suitable for the user equipment for a target service node; and receiving a secondary cell resource request acknowledgement message sent by the target serving node, wherein the secondary cell resource request acknowledgement message includes: and the target service node selects one auxiliary cell frequency point for the user equipment from the auxiliary cell frequency point list and corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resources.
Optionally, the secondary cell resource request message may further include: and the auxiliary cell frequency points in the auxiliary cell frequency point list are information which is ordered according to the priority of the user service quality. That is to say, the secondary cell frequency points in the secondary cell frequency point list are ordered according to the priority of the user service quality.
Optionally, if the secondary cell resource request acknowledgement message includes: the target service node selects a plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points for the user equipment from the auxiliary cell frequency point list, and an uplink random access physical resource block resource corresponding to each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points, and the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points are ordered according to priority, the method may further include: and selecting one auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block for the user equipment from the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points according to the service condition in the cell and the load condition of each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points.
In this embodiment, if a source service node to which a primary cell belongs may directly communicate with a target service node to which an auxiliary cell belongs, the source service node may directly send the auxiliary cell resource request message to the target service node through an X2 interface (or other interfaces), and receive an auxiliary cell resource request acknowledgement message sent by the target service node through an X2 interface, thereby obtaining one or more auxiliary cell frequency points selected by the target service node for the user equipment from the auxiliary cell frequency point list, and an uplink random access physical resource block resource corresponding to each auxiliary cell frequency point.
The second acquisition mode is that a source service node to which a main cell belongs receives a radio resource management measurement report sent by user equipment supporting carrier aggregation; directly sending a secondary cell resource request message to the target serving node, where the secondary cell resource request message includes: a source service node to which a main cell belongs requests an auxiliary cell frequency point which is distributed to the user equipment by a target service node to which an auxiliary cell belongs, and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource; and receiving a secondary cell resource request acknowledgement message sent by the target serving node, wherein the secondary cell resource request acknowledgement message includes: and the target service node is an auxiliary cell frequency point distributed by the user equipment and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource.
That is to say, in this embodiment, the source serving node to which the primary cell belongs does not need to send, to the serving node to which the secondary cell belongs, the multiple secondary cell frequency points and the corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resources that have been selected for the user equipment; but directly requesting the target service node to allocate a proper auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource for the user equipment.
Optionally, if the secondary cell resource request acknowledgement message includes: the target service node allocates a plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points for the user equipment, and uplink random access physical resource block resources corresponding to each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points are allocated, and the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points are sequenced according to priorities, and the method further comprises the following steps: and selecting one auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block for the user equipment from the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points according to the service condition in the cell and the load condition of each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points.
A third obtaining manner is that, in this embodiment, if the source serving node to which the primary cell belongs and the target serving node to which the secondary cell belongs cannot communicate, the source serving node may communicate with the target serving node through the mobility management entity, and the process is as follows:
the source service node sends an auxiliary cell resource demand message to a mobile management entity according to the radio resource management measurement report, wherein the auxiliary cell resource demand message comprises: the PCI of the target service node and an auxiliary cell frequency point list which is selected for the target service node and is suitable for the user equipment; and receiving a secondary cell resource demand acknowledgement message sent by the mobility management entity, wherein the secondary cell resource demand acknowledgement message includes: the PCI of the target service node, one auxiliary cell frequency point selected by the target service node from the auxiliary cell frequency point list for the user equipment, and corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resources.
Optionally, the secondary cell resource requirement message may further include: and the auxiliary cell frequency points in the auxiliary cell frequency point list are information which is ordered according to the priority of the user service quality. That is to say, the secondary cell frequency points in the secondary cell frequency point list are ordered according to the priority of the user service quality.
Optionally, if the secondary cell resource demand acknowledgement message includes: the target service node selects a plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points for the user equipment from the auxiliary cell frequency point list, and an uplink random access physical resource block resource corresponding to each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points, and the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points are ordered according to priority, the method may further include:
and selecting one auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block for the user equipment from the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points according to the service condition in the cell and the load condition of each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points.
The fourth acquisition mode is: the acquiring method is similar to the third method, and the difference is that the contents of the transmitted secondary cell resource demand message and the received secondary cell resource demand acknowledge message are different, specifically: a source service node sends a secondary cell resource demand message to a mobile management entity, wherein the secondary cell resource demand message comprises: the PCI of the target service node and a source service node of a main cell request the target service node to allocate an auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource for the user equipment; and receiving a secondary cell resource demand acknowledgement message sent by the mobility management entity, wherein the secondary cell resource demand acknowledgement message includes: the PCI of a target service node, an auxiliary cell frequency point distributed by the target service node for the user equipment, and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource.
Optionally, if the resource demand response message includes: the target service node allocates a plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points for the user equipment, and uplink random access physical resource block resources corresponding to each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points are allocated, and the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points are sequenced according to priorities, and the method further comprises the following steps: and selecting one auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block for the user equipment from the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points according to the service condition in the cell and the load condition of each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points.

In this embodiment, if a source service node acquires an auxiliary cell frequency point selected by a target service node for the user equipment and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource, the auxiliary cell frequency point and the corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource are directly sent to the user equipment, so that the user equipment initiates random access in the auxiliary cell and establishes wireless connection.
If the source service node acquires a plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points selected by the target service node for the user equipment and uplink random access physical resource block resources corresponding to each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points, the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points are sequenced according to priorities: the source service node selects an auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block for the user equipment from the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points according to the service condition in the cell and the load condition of each auxiliary cell frequency point in the plurality of auxiliary cell frequency points. Normally, the frequency point with the highest priority is selected, and of course, the selection may be performed according to actual situations.
And then, sending the selected frequency point of the auxiliary cell and the corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource to the user equipment so that the user equipment can initiate random access in the auxiliary cell and establish wireless connection.

Therefore, the success rate of random access of the user equipment for carrier aggregation on the auxiliary cell can be effectively improved, and the throughput performance of the network is further improved.

To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a flowchart of a first application example of a method for controlling carrier aggregation access between base stations according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, assuming that there is a connection with X2 port between the source enb (Pcell) and the target enb (scell), the user equipment supporting carrier aggregation communicates with the secondary cell (Pcell) through RRC signaling. In this embodiment, the UE is a UE supporting carrier aggregation, the source serving node is a serving node to which the primary cell belongs, and the target serving node is a serving node to which the secondary cell belongs, and the method specifically includes:
step 901: the user equipment supporting carrier aggregation sends a measurement report related to RRM to a source serving node to which a primary cell belongs (in this embodiment, taking eNB1 to which a primary cell Pcell belongs as an example);
the measurement report related to RRM is RRM measurement of the user equipment at each frequency point and each node.
Wherein the content in the measurement report may include RSRP measurement results, RSRQ measurement results, or other measurement results. The present embodiment takes RSRP measurement results as an example, and the reporting form is as follows, but not limited thereto:
for F1 frequency point: the RSRP measurement result of cell i1 is RSRP1_ i1, and the RSRP measurement result of cell j1 is RSRP1_ j1 …;
for F2 frequency point: the RSRP measurement result of cell i2 is RSRP2_ i2, and the RSRP measurement result of cell j2 is RSRP2_ j2 …;
for Fx frequency bins: the RSRP measurement result of the cell ix is RSRPx _ ix, and the RSRP measurement result of the cell jx is RSRPx _ jx ….
Step 902: the source serving node (e.g., eNB1 belonging to the primary cell) sends a secondary cell (Scell) resource request message to the target serving node (e.g., eNB2 belonging to the secondary cell) based on the RRM measurement report.
The secondary cell resource request message includes: the eNB1 belonging to the primary cell selects an Scell frequency point list suitable for the user equipment supporting carrier aggregation for the eNB2 belonging to the secondary cell, and optionally, the frequency points (secondary cell frequency points) in the Scell frequency point list are sorted according to the priority of the user service quality, and may be sorted from high to low or sorted from low to high.
The Scell frequency point list may also be referred to as a "Scell frequency point priority list," and may be in the form of: { frequency point i, frequency point j, …, frequency point k, … }, which may be denoted by { Fi, Fj, … Fk, … }, where the priority satisfies: frequency bin i > frequency bin j > … frequency bin k …. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other forms are also possible, and the present embodiment is not limited to this.
Step 903: after receiving the Scell Resource request message, the target serving node selects a most appropriate frequency point and an uplink random access Physical Resource Block (PRB) Resource of the frequency point for the ue supporting carrier aggregation according to a load condition and a service condition of multiple frequency points of the target serving node and a priority ordering condition given by the primary cell (in this example, the target serving node includes priority ordering information).
Step 904: the target service node sends a source service node through a Scell resource request confirmation message, wherein the Scell resource request confirmation message comprises the most appropriate frequency point and uplink PRB resources;
in this embodiment, the most suitable frequency point and uplink PRB resource, and the target serving node (secondary cell) may send the Scell resource request acknowledgement message to the source serving node (primary cell), but the present embodiment is not limited to the Scell resource request acknowledgement message, and may also use other messages.
In this embodiment, the sending form of the Scell resource request acknowledgement message may be: { frequency point m, uplink random access physical resource block information m }, which may be denoted by { Fm, UL RACH PRB information m }.
Step 905: the source service node sends the Scell configuration information to the user equipment supporting carrier aggregation through an RRC connection reconfiguration message; the Scell configuration information includes: the physical cell identification PCI, the frequency point and the uplink random access physical resource block.
That is to say, after the source serving node receives the Scell resource request acknowledgement message sent by the target serving node, that is, it indicates that the user equipment supporting carrier aggregation completes the Scell resource request, the source serving node informs the corresponding Scell configuration information to the user equipment supporting carrier aggregation through an RRC connection reconfiguration message (but not limited to the message, this embodiment takes as an example), where the RRC connection reconfiguration message includes the Scell configuration information and the uplink PRB resource.
Wherein, the Scell configuration information includes: { physical cell identity, PCI, frequency point, m, uplink random access physical resource block information, m }, which may be denoted by a symbol { PCI, Fm, UL RACH PRB information, m }.
Step 906: after receiving Scell configuration information sent by a source service node, the user equipment initiates a random access request on an auxiliary cell based on the frequency point and the uplink PRB resource, and completes the establishment of a wireless link of the Scell;
that is, the user equipment completes access control under the inter-eNB.
Of course, in another embodiment, this embodiment differs from the embodiment described above with respect to fig. 9 in that: the secondary cell (Scell) resource request message includes: and the source service node of the main cell requests a target service node of the auxiliary cell to allocate an auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource for the user equipment. After receiving the auxiliary cell resource request message, the target service node allocates an auxiliary cell frequency point and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource to the user equipment according to the service and load condition of the target service node, wherein the auxiliary cell resource request confirmation message sent by the target service node to the source service node comprises: the target service node is an auxiliary cell frequency point distributed by the user equipment and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource. A source service node sends an auxiliary cell frequency point allocated to the user equipment by a target service node and a corresponding uplink random access physical resource block resource to the user equipment through an RRC connection reconfiguration message, and the user equipment initiates a random access request on an auxiliary cell based on the auxiliary cell frequency point and the uplink PRB resource and completes the establishment of a wireless link of the Scell;
referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a flowchart of a second application example of a method for controlling carrier aggregation access between base stations according to an embodiment of the present invention; the second application instance differs from the first application instance in that: the target service node (the service node to which the auxiliary cell belongs) is sent to the source service node (the service node to which the main cell belongs) as a plurality of appropriate frequency points and uplink PRB resources corresponding to the frequency points, and the frequency points are correspondingly ordered according to the frequency point priority scheduled by the source service node. In this embodiment, the communication between the source service node and the target service node is still performed through an X2 interface, and the specific process includes:
step 1001: the UE supporting carrier aggregation sends an RRM-related measurement report to a source serving node to which the primary cell belongs (i.e. taking eNB1 to which the primary cell belongs as an example);
the content and the transmission form in the measurement report are detailed in the first application example, and are not described herein again.
Step 1002: the source serving node (eNB 1 belonging to the primary cell) sends a Scell resource request message to the target serving node (e.g., eNB2 belonging to the secondary cell).
The content included in the Scell resource request message and the form of the Scell frequency point list are specifically detailed in the first application example, and are not described herein again.
Step 1003: after receiving the Scell resource request message, the target service node performs corresponding sequencing for a plurality of suitable frequency points and uplink PRB resources corresponding to each frequency point for the user equipment supporting carrier aggregation according to the load conditions and service conditions of the multiple frequency points of the target service node itself and the priority sequencing conditions given by the primary cell, and according to the frequency point priority scheduled by the source service node (primary cell).
Step 1004: the target service node sends the plurality of suitable frequency points selected for the user equipment and the uplink PRB resources corresponding to the frequency points to the source service node through the Scell resource request confirmation message;
