Description

Negotiation method of measurement configuration under heterogeneous system dual-connection, base station and terminal
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless technologies, and in particular, to a method, a base station, and a terminal for negotiating measurement configuration under dual connectivity of different systems.
Background
When the terminal is connected to two different radio access technologies for communication at the same time, that is, the terminal is in dual connectivity with different systems, for example, the terminal may be connected to LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 5G new air interface NR at the same time.
In order to meet the requirement of mobility, the network performs measurement configuration for the terminal, and the terminal is configured to measure other cells of the same frequency, different frequency and different systems. In dual-system dual-connection, the measurement configuration can be sent in the following ways:
1. a Master base station (MN for short) and a Secondary base station (SN for short) independently generate and send measurement configuration information, and a User Equipment (UE for short) obtains two independent sets of measurement configurations;
and 2, jointly generating and sending a set of measurement configuration by the MN and the SN, and only obtaining the set of measurement configuration by the UE.
When the method 2 is adopted, when the MN and the SN generate a set of measurement configuration together, the MN and the SN of the different system will need to be able to mutually read the RRC message of the other side, which may increase the complexity of the network side. Thus, approach 1 has emerged, which is a more feasible approach to allow the MN and SN to be able to independently generate and send measurement configurations.
However, when the first mode 1 is adopted, the MN and the SN generate and send measurement configurations independently, and the measurement configurations of the MN and the SN are independent, if the MN configures measurement of an different system for the UE, a frequency point of the different system of the MN may be a frequency point of the same frequency or different frequency of the SN. Therefore, under the condition, the same frequency point is respectively issued with two sets of measurement configurations by the MN and the SN, the measurement configuration information of the MN and the SN may conflict, and for the same frequency point, the UE may measure twice, which causes waste of measurement overhead.
Therefore, when the measurement configuration information of the MN and the SN conflict, the problems of how the UE should handle the measurement configuration information, how the UE should avoid the conflict between the two nodes, and the like need to be solved.

Detailed Description

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.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for negotiating measurement configuration under dual connectivity in different systems, which is applied to a first base station, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
s110, sending measurement configuration information to a second base station, wherein the measurement configuration information is used for indicating the second base station to issue measurement configuration for a terminal, and the terminal is connected to the first base station and the second base station at the same time.
In the method for negotiating measurement configuration under dual connectivity of different systems according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first base station sends measurement configuration information for instructing the second base station to perform measurement configuration for the terminal to the second base station, so that the first base station has a decision right of measurement configuration, thereby avoiding the problem that the measurement configuration information of the two base stations conflicts, and for the same frequency point, the UE may perform two measurements, which results in measurement overhead waste.
Preferably, the first base station is a master base station or a base station in the same system as the measurement frequency point.
In one aspect of the specific embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:
acquiring second initial measurement configuration information which is sent by the second base station and configured for the terminal;
the step of sending the measurement configuration information to the second base station is sending response information to the second base station;
the response information includes the measurement configuration information, and the measurement configuration information is final measurement configuration information determined according to the second initial measurement configuration information and first initial measurement configuration information of measurement configuration performed by the first base station for the terminal.
Fig. 2 shows a specific process of sending the measurement configuration information to the second base station, and fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a negotiation method for measurement configuration under dual connectivity of different systems according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2, a negotiation method for measurement configuration under dual connectivity of different systems according to the second embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:
s210, acquiring second initial measurement configuration information configured for the terminal and sent by the second base station;
s220, determining final measurement configuration information of the second base station according to the second initial measurement configuration information and first initial measurement configuration information of measurement configuration for the terminal by the first base station;
and S230, sending a response message to the second base station, where the response message includes the measurement configuration information, the measurement configuration information is final measurement configuration information determined according to the second initial measurement configuration information and first initial measurement configuration information of the first base station for performing measurement configuration for the terminal, and the response message is used to instruct the second base station to use the final measurement configuration information as measurement configuration.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, the final measurement configuration information of the second base station is determined according to the second initial measurement configuration information generated by the second base station and the first initial measurement configuration information generated by the first base station, and is indicated to the second base station, so as to avoid the conflict between the measurement configuration information of the two base stations.
Specifically, when configuring the measurement configuration information for the terminal, the second base station may include configuration parameters such as a measurement frequency point, an allowed measurement bandwidth, a cell list, a white list cell list, a black list cell list, and a beam; in step S210, the second initial measurement configuration information sent by the second base station may be one of the following two cases:
1) the second initial measurement configuration information may include all configuration parameters in the measurement configuration information configured by the second base station;
2) the second initial measurement configuration information only comprises part of configuration parameters in the measurement configuration information configured by the second base station; the sent part of the configuration parameters is necessary parameters for ensuring no conflict between the first base station and the second base station, for example, a certain cell in a blacklisted cell list of the first base station, a whitelisted cell list belonging to the second base station, and at this time, the terminal does not determine whether to measure the certain cell, so that the measurement configuration of the first base station and the second base station conflicts, and the second initial measurement configuration information sent by the second base station should include the configuration parameters.
In addition, in step S220, the step of determining the final measurement configuration information of the second base station according to the second initial measurement configuration information and the first initial measurement configuration information of the first base station performing measurement configuration for the terminal includes:
judging whether the first initial measurement configuration information conflicts with the second initial measurement configuration information or not;
when a conflict exists, determining the final measurement configuration information according to the first initial measurement configuration information and the second initial measurement configuration information;
when no conflict exists, determining that the second initial measurement configuration information is the final measurement configuration information.
Specifically, when determining whether there is a conflict between the first initial measurement configuration information and the second initial measurement configuration, the configuration parameters in the first initial measurement configuration information and the second initial measurement configuration need not be identical, but it needs to be ensured that there is no conflict, for example: the whitelisted cell lists of the first and second base stations are different but do not conflict with the blacklisted cell lists, then the configuration parameters in the measurement configuration of the first and second base stations may be different.
When the first initial measurement configuration information conflicts with the second initial measurement configuration information, the first base station determines the final measurement configuration information, and then sends the final measurement configuration information to the second base station through response information. Specifically, when the final measurement configuration information is sent through response information, the response information includes updated parameter information that is updated by the final measurement configuration information compared with the second initial measurement configuration information, or includes all the final measurement configuration information. When the first initial measurement configuration information and the second initial measurement configuration information do not conflict, the second initial measurement configuration information generated by the second base station does not need to be updated, and when the response information is sent to the second base station, the response information comprises confirmation information for confirming the second initial measurement configuration information.
In another aspect of the specific embodiment of the present invention, when the first initial measurement configuration information conflicts with the second initial measurement configuration information, the method further includes:
determining that the final measurement configuration information is the measurement configuration information of the first base station;
and sending the final measurement configuration information to the terminal.
That is, the final measurement configuration information is sent to the terminal as the measurement configuration of the first base station.
In addition, when the first initial measurement configuration information does not conflict with the second initial measurement configuration information, the first initial measurement configuration information generated by the first base station is the final measurement configuration information of the first base station.
Preferably, the first base station and the second base station respectively send the measurement configuration to the terminal, or a master base station of the first base station and the second base station sends the measurement configuration to the terminal.
In addition, when the terminal receives the measurement configuration and performs system measurement, the terminal transmits measurement reports to the first base station and the second base station respectively.
In the second negotiation method for measurement configuration under dual connectivity of different systems in the embodiment of the present invention, the first base station is a master base station or a base station in the same system as the measurement frequency point. Specifically, when the first base station is the primary base station MN, the second base station is the secondary base station SN.
When the first base station is a base station of the same system with the measurement frequency point, the first base station can be one of the MN and the SN, and the second base station is the other one of the MN and the SN. For example, the inter-RAT (radio-access technology) measurement between radio access technologies configured for the MN and the intra-RAT measurement within the radio access technology configured for the SN are the same frequency point, that is, the MN and the SN respectively generate two sets of measurement configurations for the same frequency point, and there is some parameter conflict in the measurement configurations, because a base station in the same system as the measurement frequency point may have more frequency point information, the SN (in the same system as the measurement frequency point) decides the measurement configuration, that is, the first base station is the auxiliary base station, and may have more advantages.
In the method for negotiating measurement configuration under dual connectivity of the system according to the second aspect of the present invention, the message transmission between the first base station and the second base station may be transmitted through an interface, such as an Xn interface, between the first base station and the second base station, or may be transmitted through a mode in which the first base station and the second base station respectively transmit messages to the core network and then the core network transmits the messages to the first base station and the second base station.
In addition, the present invention further provides a negotiation method for measurement configuration under dual connectivity in a different system according to the third embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:
s310, sending measurement configuration information to a second base station, where the measurement configuration information includes: the first base station performs first initial measurement configuration information of measurement configuration for a terminal, wherein the measurement configuration information is used for indicating the second base station to generate measurement configuration;
s320, receiving a first modification request for modifying the first initial measurement configuration information sent by the second base station;
s330, according to the first modification request, feeding back response information accepting or rejecting the first modification request to the second base station.
Specifically, in step S310, the first base station configures measurement configuration information for the terminal, where the measurement configuration information may include configuration parameters such as a measurement frequency point, an allowed measurement bandwidth, a cell list, a white list cell list, a black list cell list, and a beam, and sends the measurement configuration information to the second base station according to the configured measurement configuration information, where the measurement configuration information includes first initial measurement configuration information that the first base station performs measurement configuration for the terminal, and the first initial measurement configuration information may be one of the following two cases:
1) the first initial measurement configuration information may include all configuration parameters in the measurement configuration information configured by the first base station;
2) the first initial measurement configuration information only comprises part of configuration parameters in the measurement configuration information configured by the first base station; the sent part of the configuration parameters is necessary parameters for ensuring no conflict between the first base station and the second base station, for example, a certain cell in a blacklisted cell list of the first base station, a whitelisted cell list belonging to the second base station, and at this time, the terminal does not determine whether to measure the certain cell, so that the measurement configuration of the first base station and the second base station conflicts, and the configuration parameters should be included in the first initial measurement configuration information sent by the first base station.
Based on the above step S310, when the second base station receives the measurement configuration information of the first base station, the second base station generates final measurement configuration information of the second base station according to the first initial measurement configuration information; wherein the parameters in the generated final measurement configuration information do not conflict with the parameters in the first initial measurement configuration information. Specifically, the final measurement configuration information generated by the second base station may be completely the same as the first initial measurement configuration information, or may be partially the same as long as it is ensured that there is no conflict between the parameters in the final measurement configuration information and the parameters in the first initial measurement configuration information. For example, the measurement bandwidths allowed by the final measurement configuration information and the first initial measurement configuration information are the same, but the cell lists may not be the same.
Further, through step S320, the second base station may send a first modification request for modifying the first initial measurement configuration information to the first base station, for example, apply for deleting a certain cell in the cell list in the blacklist, or apply for adding a certain cell in the cell list; and through step S330, the first base station may feed back response information accepting or rejecting the first modification request to the second base station.
Further, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the first base station and the second base station respectively send the measurement configuration to the terminal, or a master base station of the first base station and the second base station sends the measurement configuration to the terminal.
In addition, when the terminal receives the measurement configuration and performs system measurement, the terminal transmits measurement reports to the first base station and the second base station respectively.
In the third negotiation method for measurement configuration under dual connectivity of different systems in the embodiment of the present invention, the first base station is a master base station or a base station in the same system as the measurement frequency point. Specifically, when the first base station is the primary base station MN, the second base station is the secondary base station SN.
When the first base station is a base station of the same system with the measurement frequency point, the first base station can be one of the MN and the SN, and the second base station is the other one of the MN and the SN. For example, the inter-RAT (radio-access technology) measurement between radio access technologies configured for the MN and the intra-RAT measurement within the radio access technology configured for the SN are the same frequency point, that is, the MN and the SN respectively generate two sets of measurement configurations for the same frequency point, and there is some parameter conflict in the measurement configurations, because a base station in the same system as the measurement frequency point may have more frequency point information, the SN (in the same system as the measurement frequency point) decides the measurement configuration, that is, the first base station is the auxiliary base station, and may have more advantages.
In the method for negotiating measurement configuration under dual connectivity in the third system, the message transmission between the first base station and the second base station may be transmitted through an interface between the first base station and the second base station, such as an Xn interface, or may be transmitted through the first base station and the second base station to the core network, and then transmitted to the first base station and the second base station through the core network.
