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.
under the overlapping coverage scene in the NB-IoT network, the occurrence of the ping-pong phenomenon in the overlapping coverage area is inevitably caused by cell reselection triggered by the neighboring cells with comparable signal quality, and the unnecessary loss of excessive power consumption of the terminal is caused by the increase of the reselection times, which is contrary to the purpose of low power consumption of the NB-IoT. Therefore, when selecting a cell of a terminal, it is necessary to select a cell having a continuously good signal quality as an optimal cell. Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for selecting an optimal cell in an NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the method for selecting an optimal cell in an NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area includes:
And 101, if the current area is judged and known to be the overlapping coverage area, scanning the current area to obtain the ratio of the average signal strength and the strongest signal time length of all candidate cells in the current area within the preset time length.
an overlapping coverage area is an area in which there are multiple cells that meet the S criteria and have comparable signal quality. In an overlapping coverage area, when any cell with equivalent quality and meeting the S criterion meets the R criterion, cell reselection may be triggered, and as the NB-IoT protocol does not support Qoffset setting of the S criterion and the R criterion, ping-pong selection in the overlapping coverage area is easily caused, and an increase in the number of reselections causes unnecessary loss due to excessive power consumption of the terminal. Under the above situation, the method in the embodiment of the present invention is executed with the terminal UE as an execution subject to achieve selection of an optimal cell.
the candidate cells are cells which are detected by the terminal UE in the current area and satisfy the S criterion and the signal quality satisfies the predetermined condition, and a difference between the signal qualities of each candidate cell is smaller than a predetermined threshold. The average signal strength of any candidate cell refers to an average value of signal strengths of the candidate cells detected by the terminal UE within a preset time length, and the strongest signal time length ratio of any candidate cell refers to a ratio of the time length of the signal strength of the candidate cell detected by the terminal UE within the preset time length to the preset time length of the signal strength maximum value of all the candidate cells.
and 102, acquiring a signal quality score of each candidate cell according to the ratio of the average signal strength of each candidate cell to the duration of the strongest signal.
here, the signal quality score of any candidate cell is obtained based on the ratio of the average signal strength and the strongest signal duration of all candidate cells in the current area. There are various methods for obtaining the signal quality score of any candidate cell based on the average signal strength and the ratio of the strongest signal durations of all candidate cells in the current area, for example, the difference between the average signal strength of the candidate cell and the average signal strength of all candidate cells is weighted and added to the difference between the ratio of the strongest signal durations of the candidate cells and the average ratio of the strongest signal durations of all candidate cells to obtain the average signal quality score of the candidate cell.
And 103, selecting an optimal cell from all the candidate cells according to the signal quality score of each candidate cell, and accessing the optimal cell.
Here, there are various methods for selecting the optimal cell based on the signal quality score of each candidate cell, for example, comparing the signal quality score of each candidate cell with a preset score threshold, selecting the optimal cell according to the comparison result, for example, first three candidate cells with the highest signal quality scores are selected first, and the candidate cell with the longest strongest signal duration ratio is selected as the optimal cell.
It should be noted that the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be used not only in the case of performing initial cell selection by the terminal UE in an overlapping coverage scenario, but also in the case of performing cell reselection after the terminal UE is triggered to perform cell reselection in the overlapping coverage scenario, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the invention, the optimal cell is selected by scanning the ratio of the average signal strength and the strongest signal time length of each candidate cell in the preset time length, so that the problem of ping-pong selection in an overlapped coverage scene is solved, the reselection times of the terminal in the overlapped coverage scene are reduced, the power consumption of the terminal is reduced, and the endurance time of the terminal is prolonged.
based on the above embodiments, a method for selecting an optimal cell in an NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area includes, if it is determined that a current area is an overlapping coverage area, specifically: and initially scanning the current area, if the current area has more than or equal to a preset number of cells which have signal quality differences smaller than a preset threshold and meet the S criterion, taking the current area as an overlapping coverage area, and taking the cells which have the signal quality differences smaller than the preset threshold and meet the S criterion as candidate cells. It should be noted that the initial scanning of the terminal UE is used to acquire a cell with the strongest signal on each NB-IoT carrier in the frequency band, and the terminal UE may determine whether the current area is an overlapping coverage area according to the result of the initial scanning.
For example, the preset number is 3 and the preset threshold is 6 db. The terminal UE scans the current area to know that there are 6 cells satisfying the S criterion in the current area, and if the difference between the signal qualities of 4 cells is less than or equal to 6db, the 4 cells are considered as candidate cells, and the current area is an overlapping coverage area.
in the embodiment of the invention, the reference is provided for judging whether the current area is the overlapping coverage area or not by limiting the preset number and the preset threshold value.
based on any of the above embodiments, a method for selecting an optimal cell in an NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area obtains a signal quality score of each candidate cell according to a ratio of an average signal strength of each candidate cell to a duration of a strongest signal, specifically including:
for any candidate cell, ranking each candidate cell according to the average signal strength of each candidate cell to obtain the average signal strength ranking of the candidate cell 201. Here, the ranking of each candidate cell may be performed in an order from high to low of the average signal strength of each candidate cell, or in an order from low to high of the average signal strength of each candidate cell, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
202, ranking each candidate cell according to the strongest signal time length ratio of each candidate cell to obtain the strongest signal time length ratio ranking of the candidate cell. Here, the candidate cells may be ranked in an order from high to low according to the strongest signal duration ratio of each candidate cell, or in an order from low to high according to the strongest signal duration ratio of each candidate cell, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
It should be noted that step 202 may be executed before step 201, or may be executed simultaneously with step 201, and the execution order of steps 201 and 202 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
And 203, calculating the signal quality score of the candidate cell according to the average signal strength ranking of the candidate cell, the ratio ranking of the strongest signal time length and the number of the candidate cells in the current region.
In step 203, there are various methods for calculating the signal quality score of any candidate cell according to the average signal strength ranking, the strongest signal time length ratio ranking and the number of candidate cells in the current region, for example, the number of candidate cells and the ratio of the average signal strength ranking to the sum of the strongest signal time length ratio ranking are used as the signal quality score of the candidate cell, or the sum of the ratio of the number of candidate cells to the average signal strength ranking and the ratio of the number of candidate cells to the strongest signal time length ratio ranking is used as the signal quality score of the candidate cell, which is not specifically limited in the present invention.
preferably, the signal quality score of the candidate cell may be calculated according to the following formula:
In the formula, SiIs the signal quality score of the candidate cell i, N is the number of candidate cells of the current region, QiIs the average signal strength ranking, T, of the candidate cell iiThe time length of the strongest signal of the candidate cell i is the ranking, a is the ranking weight of the average signal strength, and b is the time length of the strongest signal is the ranking weight.
for example, in an overlapping coverage scenario, when the terminal UE initially scans, if a scanning result indicates that A, B, C, D, E five candidate cells with signal strengths within 6db simultaneously exist in a current area, it is determined that the area is an overlapping coverage area, and then the terminal UE performs a secondary scanning mechanism according to a secondary scanning duration, that is, a preset duration. According to the secondary scanning result, according to the sequence from high to low, respectively sorting each candidate cell according to the average signal intensity and the strongest signal duration ratio of each candidate cell, and obtaining a sorting result as follows:
a: average signal strength ranking 1, and strongest signal duration accounting for ranking 2;
B: average signal strength ranking 5, the strongest signal duration accounts for 5;
c: average signal strength ranking 2, the strongest signal duration accounts for ranking 1;
d: average signal strength ranking 3, and strongest signal duration accounting for ranking 4;
e: average signal strength ranking 4, and strongest signal duration occupying 3;
The calculation is made according to the following formula:
Wherein N is 5, a is 0.6, and b is 0.4.
Each candidate cell signal quality score is as follows:
SA=5/1*0.6+5/2*0.4=4;
SB=5/5*0.6+5/5*0.4=1;
SC=5/2*0.6+5/1*0.4=3.5;
SD=5/3*0.6+5/4*0.4=1.5;
SE=5/4*0.6+5/3*0.4=1.417。
Based on any of the above embodiments, a method for selecting an optimal cell in an NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area, where a current area is scanned, and if there are more than or equal to a preset number of cells in the current area whose signal quality differences are smaller than a preset threshold and meet an S criterion, the current area is taken as an overlapping coverage area, and the cells whose signal quality differences are smaller than the preset threshold and meet the S criterion are taken as candidate cells, further includes: and if the current area does not have more than or equal to a preset number of cells which have signal quality differences smaller than a preset threshold and meet the S criterion, taking the cell which has the highest signal strength and meets the S criterion in the current area as an optimal cell and accessing the optimal cell.
when selecting the optimal cell, firstly, the terminal UE scans the current area and judges whether the current area is an overlapping coverage area according to the scanning result. Here, if the current area is not the overlapping coverage area, the terminal system does not perform scanning any more, but directly takes the cell satisfying the S criterion with the highest signal strength in the initial scanning result as the optimal cell.
Based on any of the above embodiments, a method for selecting an optimal cell in an NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area selects an optimal cell from all candidate cells according to a signal quality score of each candidate cell, which specifically includes: and taking the candidate cell corresponding to the maximum signal quality score as the optimal cell.
For example, in an overlapping coverage scenario, the signal quality scores of the candidate cells calculated by the terminal UE are shown in the following table:
Table 1 candidate cell signal quality scoring table
as can be seen from the signal quality scores of the candidate cells shown in table 1, the signal quality score of the candidate cell a is the highest, so that the candidate cell a is selected as the optimal cell.

The scoring module 202 is configured to obtain a signal quality score of each candidate cell according to a ratio of the average signal strength of each candidate cell to the duration of the strongest signal. The selecting module 203 is configured to select an optimal cell from all candidate cells according to the signal quality score of each candidate cell, and access the optimal cell.
It should be noted that, the scanning module 201, the scoring module 202, and the selecting module 203 cooperate to execute the method for selecting the optimal cell in the NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area in the foregoing embodiment, and specific functions of the system refer to the above embodiment of the method for selecting the optimal cell in the NB-IoT network overlapping coverage area, which is not described herein again.
