Description

Cell measurement method, measurement configuration method, terminal and network equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a cell measurement method, a measurement configuration method, a terminal, and a network device.

Background

In order to perform handover and interference coordination, a network device needs to establish and maintain a Neighbor Relation table for a subordinate cell, and an Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) function is used to assist the network device in discovering an unconfigured Neighbor cell and triggering establishment and maintenance operations of a corresponding table entry in the Neighbor Relation table. The automatic neighbor relation mechanism is not only suitable for discovering the same-frequency neighbor cells, but also can be used for discovering different-frequency and different-system neighbor cells.

The terminal under the Network equipment A completes the measurement of the conventional adjacent Cell and reports the measurement report, the frequency point and the Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) combination of the Cell B in the measurement report are used as the measured Cell Identifier, the Network equipment A finds that the frequency point and the PCI carried in the measurement report correspond to an adjacent Cell which is not configured, an indication command is sent to the terminal to indicate the terminal to read the broadcast information of the Cell corresponding to the frequency point and the PCI combination, parameters such as the Global Cell Identifier (CGI), the Tracking Area Code (TAC) and the Public Land Mobile Network Identifier (PLMN) of the Cell B are obtained, and the indication command can be issued to the terminal in the form of measurement configuration and is associated with a measurement ID. After the measurement configuration is obtained, the terminal starts a timer T and starts to obtain system information of a target cell, if the terminal obtains required information before the T is overtime, the terminal reports the measurement ID and information of PCI, TAC, CGI, PLMN and the like of the cell B to network equipment, and if the timer T is overtime, the terminal does not obtain all required information yet, and the terminal reports the measurement ID to the network equipment. Because the reported information does not contain the required information, the network device a can estimate that the terminal has not successfully acquired the required information of the neighboring cell. If the terminal successfully acquires and feeds back the required information, the network device a may add the cell B to the neighbor relation table of the cell a.

Compared with the traditional manual configuration process of the neighbor cell relation, the method has the advantages that by means of an automatic neighbor cell relation mechanism, not only are engineering parameter measurement and calculation in a planning stage and drive test assistance in an optimization stage avoided, but also the situations of neighbor cell missing and mismatching are reduced, and the optimization efficiency is improved while the cost is reduced. At present, after an ANR measurement configuration is obtained by a Long Time Evolution (LTE) terminal, the terminal starts a timer T321, where the T321 has different values for measuring different Radio Access Technologies (RATs), for example, T1 is a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, EUTRAN) and T2 is a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, EUTRAN, UTRAN).

The Frequency of the New Radio (NR) is divided into a plurality of Frequency ranges, such as Frequency range 1 (Frequency 1, fr1) and Frequency range 2 (Frequency 2, fr2). The measurement interval (gap) can be divided into: FR1gap, FR2gap and terminal gap. FR1gap is: when the terminal measures a certain frequency, the terminal does not transmit or receive data to or from FR1 during FR1gap, but can normally transmit or receive data to or from FR 2. FR2gap is: when the terminal measures a certain frequency, the terminal does not transmit or receive data to or from FR2 during FR2gap, but can normally transmit or receive data to or from FR 1. The terminal gap is: when the terminal is not transmitting or receiving data on any frequency during the terminal gap. If the terminal is configured with ANR once, it may support ANR measurement and reporting for multiple cells, and if the terminal and the network device understand that the measurement times of ANR of multiple cells are inconsistent, for example, the network configures that the terminal needs to measure two cells on FR1 and FR2 frequencies, the terminal needs to start FR1gap for measuring the cell of FR1, and needs to start FR2gap for measuring the cell on FR2 frequency, and if the sequence of the terminal measuring the cells cannot be determined, the network device does not know which frequency the terminal can work at present, and the network device cannot schedule the terminal during the measurement.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network device 12. The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a terminal Device or a User Equipment (UE), where the terminal 11 may be a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or a vehicle-mounted Device, and the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The network device 12 may be a Base Station or a core network, wherein the Base Station may be a 5G or later-version Base Station (e.g., a gNB, a 5G NR NB, etc.), or a Base Station in other communication systems (e.g., an eNB, a WLAN access point, or other access points, etc.), where the Base Station may be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), a radio Base Station, a radio Transceiver, a Basic Service Set (BSS), an Extended Service Set (ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, or some other suitable terminology in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved, the Base Station is not limited to a specific technical vocabulary, and it should be noted that the Base Station in the NR system is only taken as an example in the embodiment of the present invention, but the specific type of the Base Station is not limited.

The base stations may communicate with the terminals 11 under the control of a base station controller, which may be part of the core network or some of the base stations in various examples. Some base stations may communicate control information or user data with the core network through a backhaul. In some examples, some of the base stations may communicate with each other, directly or indirectly, over backhaul links, which may be wired or wireless communication links. A wireless communication system may support operation on multiple carriers (waveform signals of different frequencies). A multi-carrier transmitter can transmit modulated signals on the multiple carriers simultaneously. For example, each communication link may be a multi-carrier signal modulated according to various radio technologies. Each modulated signal may be transmitted on a different carrier and may carry control information (e.g., reference signals, control channels, etc.), overhead information, data, and so on.

The base station may communicate wirelessly with the terminal 11 via one or more access point antennas. Each base station may provide communication coverage for a respective coverage area.

Downlink transmissions may be made using licensed frequency bands, unlicensed frequency bands, or both. Similarly, uplink transmissions may be made using licensed frequency bands, unlicensed frequency bands, or both.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measuring a middle cell, which is applied to a terminal side, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step 21: and receiving an indication command for indicating to read the broadcast information of the target cell corresponding to the target frequency point and/or the target Physical Cell Identity (PCI).

The target frequency point and/or the target PCI are/is discovered by the terminal in the neighbor cell measurement process and reported to the network device, where the number of the target frequency point may be one or more, and similarly, the number of the target PCI may be one or more. Further, one target frequency point, one target PCI, or a combination of the target frequency point and the target PCI may correspond to at least one target cell, and when the network device wants to perform ANR configuration, an instruction command for instructing to read broadcast information of the target cell is sent to the terminal. Wherein the indication command may be carried in measurement configuration information.

Step 22: and when at least two target cells corresponding to the target frequency point and/or the target PCI exist, performing Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) measurement on the at least two target cells according to a preset measurement sequence according to the indication command.

The at least two scenes of the target cell corresponding to the target frequency point and/or the target PCI may include, but are not limited to: at least two target cells under at least one target frequency point, at least two target cells under at least one target PCI, or at least two target cells under the combination of at least one target frequency point and the target PCI. When the target frequency point and/or the target PCI correspond to two or more target cells, the terminal performs ANR measurement on the target cells according to a preset measurement sequence. The preset measurement order may be determined according to a preset rule, for example, the preset measurement order is determined according to the PCI, for example, according to the order from the PCI number to the PCI number or the order from the PCI number to the PCI number. Or the preset measurement order may also be indicated by the network device, as indicated by an indication command sent by the network device. Or the preset measurement sequence can also be determined according to the implementation of the terminal, for example, the preset measurement sequence is random. Wherein, when the preset measurement order is indicated by the indication command, that is, the network device instructs the terminal to measure which target cell first and then which target cell, specifically, the preset measurement order may be indicated by the PCI list in the indication command.

Step 22 will be further described in the following embodiment with reference to specific implementation manners.

The method comprises the steps that according to an indication command, an mth timer is started, and ANR measurement is conducted on an mth target cell of at least two target cells; starting an m +1 th timer and performing ANR measurement on the m +1 th target cell or finishing measurement on at least two target cells under the condition that the m-th timer is overtime or the m-th target cell measurement is finished; wherein M is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M, M is the number of target cells in at least two target cells, and M and M are positive integers.

In this manner, each target cell corresponds to one measurement timer, and the terminal starts the timer of the next target cell and performs ANR measurement on the next target cell only after the measurement of one target cell is completed or the timer corresponding to the target cell is overtime. That is, the mth timer is started and ANR measurement is performed on the mth target cell of the at least two target cells; starting an M +1 th timer and performing ANR measurement on the M +1 th target cell under the condition that the mth timer is overtime or the mth target cell measurement is finished, namely determining M +1 as a new M value, repeating the process until the new M value is M, and finishing the measurement on at least two target cells under the condition that the mth timer is overtime or the mth target cell measurement is finished; wherein M is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M, M is the number of target cells in at least two target cells, and M and M are positive integers.

Starting the value of m from 1, starting a 1 st timer and carrying out ANR measurement on a 1 st target cell in at least two target cells after the terminal receives the instruction command; and starting a2 nd timer and carrying out ANR measurement on the 2 nd target cell under the condition that the 1 st timer is overtime or the 1 st target cell measurement is finished. Assuming that M is 5, when the 5 th M-timer expires or the 5 th target cell measurement ends, the 5 target cell measurement ends.

Specifically, in this manner, the Network device instructs the terminal to read the NR frequency point or the broadcast information of the corresponding target Cell to obtain Cell information of the target Cell, such as parameters of a Global Cell Identifier (CGI), a Tracking Area Code (TAC), a Public Land Mobile Network Identifier (PLMN), and the like of the target Cell, where the instruction command may be issued to the terminal in a form of measurement configuration. For example, after the network device designates the terminal to measure the NR target cell, the terminal starts a timer, for example, T321, and starts to acquire system information of the target cell. Assuming that the network device designates the terminal to measure 2 target cells, the terminal sets a measurement timer T321= T × 2ms. The terminal measures Tms aiming at the target cell 1, and as long as the Tms is exceeded, the terminal stops the neighbor cell measurement of the target cell 1 and starts the neighbor cell measurement of the target cell 2 regardless of whether the neighbor cell measurement of the target cell 1 is completed. The value of T321 may be predetermined or configured by the network, and the terminal measures the value of T321 of one target cell as Tms.

It should be noted that, in this manner, the preset measurement sequence may be indicated in the indication command, or may be a random sequence determined according to the terminal, or may be determined by the terminal according to the PCI number, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Secondly, starting a timer according to the instruction command; and before the timer is overtime, performing Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) measurement on at least two target cells according to a preset measurement sequence.

In this manner, at least two target cells share one timer, that is, the terminal starts the timer after receiving the instruction command, and performs ANR measurement on the target cells according to the preset measurement sequence before the timer expires.

Specifically, after a timer is started, ANR measurement is performed on the mth of the at least two target cells; when the measurement of the mth target cell is finished, performing ANR measurement on the (m + th) target cell until all the measurements of at least two target cells are finished or a timer is overtime; wherein M is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M, M is the number of target cells in at least two target cells, and M and M are positive integers. Similar to the manner of the successive target cell measurement in the first manner, the value of M starts from 1, after receiving the instruction command, the terminal starts a timer and performs ANR measurement on the 1 st of the at least two target cells, and after the 1 st a target cell measurement ends, continues ANR measurement on the 2 nd target cell, assuming that M is 5, and when the 5 th target cell measurement ends or the timer times out, ends the measurement of the 5 target cells.

Specifically, in this manner, the network device instructs the terminal to read the broadcast information of the target cell corresponding to the NR frequency point and/or the PCI, and the instruction command may be issued to the terminal in a measurement configuration form. In addition, the network device may also instruct the terminal to measure the order of the target cells, for example, the network device configures the terminal to measure two target cells, target cell 1 and target cell 2, and instructs to measure target cell 1 first and then target cell 2. The terminal starts a timer T321 after having obtained the above measurement configuration, e.g. the terminal sets a timer T321= Lms. The terminal starts to acquire the system information of the target cell 1 for the target cell 1 by measuring 1 in the timer T321, and then triggers the measurement of the target cell 2 after the measurement of the target cell 1 is finished until the measurement of the target cell 2 is finished or the T321 is overtime. It is worth noting that if T321 has timed out before triggering the target cell 2 measurement, the terminal ends all measurements.

In the above description, how the terminal performs ANR measurement on at least two target cells corresponding to the same target frequency point and/or the target PCI according to a preset measurement sequence is described. After the terminal performs the ANR measurement on the at least two target cells, the method may further include:

sending cell information of the first N target cells with the strongest signal strength in the at least two target cells to network equipment; wherein N is predefined or indicated by an indication command and N is a positive integer. That is to say, the ANR cells measured by the terminal exceed the number indicated by the network device, and then the terminal may report the number of cells that is satisfied according to a certain rule. For example, the network device instructs the terminal to measure the target cell of the PCI on a certain frequency and report the detailed information of the two target cells. If the terminal finds more than two cells aiming at the frequency point, the terminal reports the cell information of two target cells with strongest signals according to the signal intensity.

The cell information according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: at least one of a global cell identity, GCI, a tracking area code, TAC, and a public land mobile network identity, PLMN.

As shown in fig. 3, it is assumed that a cell to which a terminal belongs is a cell a, a frequency point of the cell a is P, a PCI is Q, and a GCI is O, the terminal measures a neighboring cell B when the terminal measures the neighboring cell, a frequency point of the neighboring cell B is X, and a PCI is Y, the terminal reports the frequency point X and the PCI Y of the neighboring cell B to the cell a, and the cell a finds that there is no neighboring cell information corresponding to the frequency point X and/or the PCI Y in an ANR list, at this time, the cell a may send an instruction command to the terminal to instruct the terminal to measure a target cell corresponding to the frequency point X and/or the PCI Y, if the terminal finds that the target cell corresponding to the frequency point X and/or the PCI Y has the cell B and the cell C, the terminal respectively reads broadcasts of the cell B and the cell C according to a preset measurement sequence and measures the two cells to obtain GCIs GCI of the two cells, and it is assumed that the measurement determines that the GCI of the cell B is Z and the GCI of the cell C is W. The terminal reports GCI Z and GCI W to cell a so that cell a completes ANR configuration related to the terminal.

In the cell measurement method of the embodiment of the present invention, when one target frequency point or one target PCI corresponds to at least two target cells, the terminal may perform ANR measurement on the at least two target cells according to a preset measurement sequence, which may avoid the influence of a measurement gap on resource scheduling, and ensure that the network device may still perform normal scheduling on the terminal when performing ANR measurement on the terminal.

The above embodiments describe cell measurement methods in different scenarios, and a terminal corresponding to the cell measurement method will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Wherein the preset measurement sequence is random, or the preset measurement sequence is determined according to the PCI, or the preset measurement sequence is indicated by the indication command.

Wherein, when the preset measurement order is indicated by the indication command, the preset measurement order is indicated by the PCI list in the indication command.

Wherein, the terminal 400 further comprises:

It is worth pointing out that, when one target frequency point or one target PCI corresponds to at least two target cells, the terminal in the embodiment of the present invention may perform ANR measurement on the at least two target cells according to a preset measurement sequence, which may avoid the influence of a measurement gap on resource scheduling, and ensure that the network device may still perform normal scheduling on the terminal when performing ANR measurement on the terminal.

The above embodiment describes the cell measurement method of the present invention from the terminal side, and the following embodiment further describes the cell measurement configuration method of the network device side with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 6, the method for configuring cell measurement according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a network device, and includes the following steps:

step 61: and sending an indication command for indicating a terminal to read the broadcast information of the target cell corresponding to the target frequency point and/or the target Physical Cell Identification (PCI), wherein the number of the target frequency point and/or the target cell corresponding to the target PCI is at least two.

And the target frequency point and/or the target PCI are discovered and reported to the network equipment by the terminal in the neighbor cell measurement process. The at least two scenes of the target frequency point and/or the target cell corresponding to the target PCI may include, but are not limited to: at least two target cells under at least one target frequency point, at least two target cells under at least one target PCI, or at least two target cells under the combination of at least one target frequency point and the target PCI. The number of target frequency points may be one or more, and similarly, the number of target PCIs may be one or more. Further, one target frequency point, one target PCI, or a combination of the target frequency point and the target PCI may correspond to at least one target cell, and when the network device needs to perform ANR configuration on the terminal, an instruction command for instructing to read broadcast information of the target cell is sent to the terminal. Wherein the indication command may be carried in measurement configuration information. Wherein, still include in the instruction command: indication information for indicating a preset measurement order of the at least two target cells.

Step 62: cell information of at least some of the at least two target cells is received.

After the network equipment sends an indication command to the terminal, the monitoring terminal monitors cell information of at least part of at least two target cells reported after the target frequency point and/or the target PCI are measured. At least part of what is said herein includes part or all. For example, step 62 includes: and receiving cell information of the first N target cells with the strongest signal strength in the at least two target cells. Wherein N is predefined or indicated by an indication command and N is a positive integer. When the ANR cells measured by the terminal exceed the number indicated by the network device, the terminal may report the number of cells that is satisfied according to a certain rule. For example, the network device instructs the terminal to measure the target cell of the PCI on a certain frequency and report the detailed information of the two target cells. If the terminal finds more than two cells aiming at the frequency point, the terminal reports the cell information of two target cells with strongest signals according to the signal intensity.
