Namely, the base station of the adjacent cell is actively configured with the compensation time delay, so that when the base station sends a downlink synchronization signal to the terminal, the distance between the terminal and the base station is compensated through the compensation time delay, and under the condition of not changing hardware, the distance difference between the base station of the adjacent cell and the base station of the main cell is eliminated, thereby avoiding the problem that the terminal equipment cannot detect the synchronization signal sent by the base station of the adjacent cell.

In a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, in order to support mobility management of a terminal, that is, User Equipment (UE), and ensure continuity of a terminal service, the UE in a moving process may constantly search for a neighboring cell, acquire synchronization, and estimate reception quality of a cell signal, thereby determining whether to perform handover or cell reselection. Therefore, from the UE handover process, detecting and searching the downlink synchronization signal of the neighboring cell is a prerequisite condition for the subsequent measurement action of the neighboring cell, and is mainly divided into primary synchronization signal detection and secondary synchronization signal detection.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, 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 drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. 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.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a handover scenario of a UE between a primary cell and a neighboring cell. As shown in fig. 1, in a handover zone of a terminal device (or called as a terminal, UE, etc.), when a difference between a distance from a neighboring cell to the terminal and a distance from a serving cell to the terminal is too large (the neighboring cell is relatively too close to the terminal), a downlink synchronization signal of the neighboring cell reaches the terminal, and the terminal is transmitting in an uplink subframe of a main zone, and at this time, the terminal cannot demodulate the downlink synchronization signal that the neighboring cell reaches, and even cannot initiate measurement on the neighboring cell, which is likely to cause handover failure and service interruption. The reason why the above problem occurs is that the terminal performs the search based on the timing advance of the current serving cell (primary cell) when performing the search for the downlink synchronization signal of the neighboring cell. When the distance between the adjacent cell and the terminal is too close, the situation that the wireless frame head of the adjacent cell reaches the terminal before the current service area occurs, when the frame head synchronizing signal of the adjacent cell exceeds too much forward and exceeds the searching window range of the current reference of the terminal, the terminal can directly discard the frame, so that the downlink synchronization with the adjacent cell cannot be obtained, and finally the terminal is disconnected from the network and fails in switching in the moving process.
For such a situation, a common method is to solve the problem by network optimization means of improving terminal hardware, enlarging the search window range, and increasing the coverage radius of the neighboring cell. However, the capabilities of terminal chips of different manufacturers are different, and for a base station (evolved Node B, eNB) side, it is not mandatory that all terminals make a search window large enough to meet the extreme requirement of site selection; meanwhile, for the constructed station, there are usually some construction restrictions, which make it difficult to implement the scheme of increasing the radius of the neighboring cell, and even if the radius of the neighboring cell can be increased, it is difficult to ensure that the increased radius of the neighboring cell is enough to compensate the difference in distance between the two cells and the terminal. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for transmitting a synchronization signal on the base station side to overcome this problem.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for sending a synchronization signal, as shown in fig. 2, the method for sending a synchronization signal provided in this embodiment is applied to a base station side, specifically, to a base station side of a neighboring cell of a terminal, so that when the terminal is in a handover band, a downlink synchronization signal of the neighboring cell base station can be detected in a search window, and a specific implementation step of the method for sending a synchronization signal is as follows;
s101: the base station acquires a downlink synchronization signal.
S102: and after the pre-configured compensation time delay, the base station sends the downlink synchronization signal to the terminal equipment so that the terminal equipment detects the downlink synchronization signal in the search window.
In this step, the base station side of the neighboring cell needs to perform the configuration of the compensation delay, specifically, the distance difference between the terminal in the handover zone and the base station of the current serving cell and the base station of the neighboring cell may be measured, and the delay required for the distance difference in signal transmission may be determined, so that the compensation delay is determined according to the measurement, and is configured in advance on the base station side of the neighboring cell, so that when the base station obtains the downlink synchronization signal and sends the downlink synchronization signal to the terminal, the base station may perform the compensation for the distance difference according to the compensation delay and then send the downlink synchronization signal.
In a specific implementation of the scheme, a private protocol message (e.g., TDL IR private message) may be newly added between the BBU of the neighboring cell Base station and the RRU, and a user specifies the compensation delay at the BBU according to measurement or other specific conditions, and sends the specified compensation delay to the RRU via the BBU, and then the RRU dynamically updates the current delay according to the compensation delay or prestores the compensation delay according to the condition of the current cell of the terminal, and the compensation delay becomes effective after the cell is activated, specifically including the following two implementation manners:
in a first implementation manner, after a pre-configured compensation delay, before a base station sends the downlink synchronization signal to a terminal device, the method further includes: and the BBU sends the pre-configured compensation delay to the RRU.
The RRU of the base station updates the current delay amount according to the compensation delay and sends a downlink synchronization signal to the terminal device according to the new delay.
In a second implementation manner, after the pre-configured compensation delay, before the base station sends the downlink synchronization signal to the terminal device, the method further includes: and the BBU sends the pre-configured compensation delay to the RRU.
The RRU judges whether the compensation time delay exceeds the caching capacity of the RRU or not; and if not, caching the compensation time delay by the RRU.
In this scheme, whether the compensation delay is obtained in advance for buffering, and the buffer takes effect when the cell is activated, or the buffer takes effect directly when the compensation delay is received, the specific implementation manner of the base station sending the downlink synchronization signal is as follows: and the RRU adjusts the downlink time delay according to the compensation time delay, sends the downlink synchronous signal to the terminal equipment according to the adjusted downlink time delay, and compensates the distance difference between the terminal equipment and the base station of the current service cell and the base station of the adjacent cell.
In the sending method of the synchronization signal provided in this embodiment, the compensation delay is actively configured on the base station of the neighboring cell, so that when the base station sends the downlink synchronization signal to the terminal, the distance between the terminal and the base station is compensated through the compensation delay, and under the condition that hardware is not changed, the distance difference between the base station of the neighboring cell and the base station of the main cell is eliminated, thereby avoiding the problem that the terminal device cannot detect the synchronization signal sent by the base station of the neighboring cell, so that the terminal can demodulate the downlink synchronization signal that the neighboring cell arrives, initiate measurement on the neighboring cell, and complete cell switching.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a BBU/RRU time delay measurement topology structure of a base station provided by the present invention; fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a downlink delay adjustable point of a base station provided by the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, for a BBU and an RRU #1, a downlink direction T12 is an optical fiber delay amount, and a downlink direction T2a is an RRU internal delay amount, and in order to align downlink air interface signals of the base station, corresponding delay compensation may be selected on the BBU/RRU side, so that two delay configuration adjustable points may actually be provided in order to achieve the purpose of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, Ttotal in fig. 4 is a total amount of time delay between data sent by the BBU in the downlink direction and an air interface of the RRU, that is: ttotal is BBU cache (DL CalBBU) + optical fiber delay (T12) + RRU cache (DL CalRRU) + RRU downlink delay (T2 a);
for TDL IR, Ttotal is a fixed value determined by the fiber pull-out distance (maximum support 40 km pull), and T12 and T2a are RRU measurement report values, so the delay compensation adjustable points are on DL CalBBU and DL CalRRU. The configurable buffer amount of the RRU is limited by the maximum compensation capacity of the RRU. In addition, if the downlink delay is selected to be adjusted on the RRU, the corresponding overall offset of the uplink-to-downlink and downlink-to-uplink timeslot switching points of the RRU is also considered.
Therefore, the scheme performs compensation on the basis of the original time delay measurement and compensation, and the adjustment of the downlink time delay can be performed on both the BBU and the RRU. An example of this implementation will now be described.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of an example of a method for sending a synchronization signal, as shown in fig. 5, based on the foregoing scheme, the specific implementation manner of updating a time delay in the method for sending a synchronization signal provided by the present invention includes at least the following two types:
in a first implementation manner, the RRU determines whether a carrier has been established; and if the carrier is established on the RRU, refreshing a logic delay register value and an uplink and downlink time slot switching point register value according to the compensation delay to finish downlink delay adjustment.
In a first implementation manner, if no carrier is established on the RRU, the logical delay register value is refreshed according to the compensation delay in the process of waiting for the periodic delay configuration message of the BBU; and refreshing the register value of the uplink and downlink time slot switching point according to the compensation time delay in the process of establishing the carrier according to the carrier establishment command sent by the BBU, and finishing downlink time delay adjustment.
The specific process is as follows:
the BBU informs the RRU of the downlink delay adjustment amount (namely the compensation delay in the scheme) through a private message, after the RRU receives the downlink delay adjustment amount, the RRU judges whether the downlink delay adjustment amount exceeds the cache capacity of the RRU, if so, the RRU is informed of the failure of the compensation delay configuration, and if not, the RRU stores the downlink delay adjustment amount. And then judging whether the carrier is established on the RRU, if so, the RRU immediately refreshes a logic time delay register value, immediately refreshes a register value of an uplink and downlink time slot switching point, and finishes the adjustment of downlink time delay so that the base station can send the downlink synchronous signal according to the adjusted downlink time delay. If no carrier is established on the RRU, a BBU cycle time delay configuration message is waited, a time delay adjustment quantity is refreshed in the cycle time delay configuration process, a BBU issues a carrier establishment command to establish a carrier, and in the process of establishing the carrier, a numerical value in an uplink and downlink time slot switching point register is refreshed to complete downlink time delay adjustment, so that a base station can send the downlink synchronization signal according to the adjusted downlink time delay.
Fig. 6a is a schematic diagram of a downlink signal delay effect in the prior art; fig. 6b is a schematic diagram of a downlink signal delay effect of a base station according to the present invention; as shown in fig. 6a and 6b, comparing the effects before and after the synchronization signal transmission method is performed, for the terminal, the air interface delay, i.e. the distance, as can be seen from the above effect diagram, when the distance from the base station antenna to the terminal cannot be changed, in order to align the downlink signal at the terminal side, the delay buffer amount on the RRU can be actively adjusted to achieve the effect of changing the distance, and by newly adding a BBU/RRU downlink delay configuration interface and processing, under the premise of not changing the site, adopting a forced network optimization method and not upgrading the hardware capability of the existing terminal, the problem of handover failure is effectively solved by utilizing smaller resource cost (software upgrading only) to eliminate the possibly overlarge distance difference between the UE and the two eNBs of the main/adjacent areas, the invention can flexibly adjust the time delay parameter according to the actual situation, and has generalizability to the problems. The problem that the terminal equipment cannot detect the synchronous signal sent by the base station of the adjacent cell is avoided, so that the terminal can demodulate the downlink synchronous signal arriving at the adjacent cell, initiate measurement on the adjacent cell and complete cell switching
