Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

In making the description of the embodiments of the present invention, some concepts used in the following description will first be explained.

1. Basic flow of handover trigger

After a network issues Measurement Configuration to User Equipment (User Equipment, UE, also called a terminal), the UE detects a signal state change of a neighboring cell according to parameters such as a Measurement Object (Measurement Object), a Report Configuration (Report Configuration), and a Measurement identifier (Measurement ID) indicated in the Measurement Configuration. The measurement configuration information is generally transmitted through Radio Resource Control (RRC) dedicated signaling RRC connection reconfiguration (RRCConnectionReconfiguration).

The UE can measure a target neighbor cell (same frequency, different frequency and different system) according to the Measurement configuration of the network, and when the reporting configuration is met, the UE can feed back information to the network through a Measurement Report (MR) for the network to issue switching.

2. MR filling and reporting

The content of the measurement report includes:

measurement ID: through the identifier, the network can acquire the contents of a frequency point corresponding to the report, a measurement event threshold triggered by an event, a periodic trigger purpose and the like from the measurement configuration stored in the network;

serving cell measurement: including Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ);

measured neighbor cell list: including a Physical Cell Identity (PCI), a measured value corresponding to the cell, a cell identity (CGI), etc. However, this content is not necessarily the case (generally, event A1/A2 will not exist, and only the measurement value of the primary serving cell needs to be reported).

After the completion of the measurement result, the RRC layer of the UE needs to submit the measurement report message to the bottom layer for transmission.

In the prior art, ping-pong handover is a common problem, and when a UE is in a connected state, the UE may switch back and forth between two or more adjacent cells, which brings troubles such as reduction of service quality and increase of power consumption of a mobile phone to a user, and also occupies a certain network resource.

The reasons for this are:

1. network measurement configuration is not reasonable

For example, the Offset or hystersis configuration in Event A3 configuration is too small; the neighbor threshold in Event A5 is much lower than the serving cell RSRP configuration, causing a good cell to switch to a bad cell, and so on.

2, the RSRP of the UE has large fluctuation and regularity

When the user periodic behavior or the environment periodic variation causes the UE RSRP to fluctuate greatly and have regularity, the method is also a potential reason for triggering the ping-pong handover.

The invention provides a ping-pong state determination method, an information receiving method, a terminal and a network side device, aiming at the problems that in the prior art, a terminal can not determine whether the terminal is in a ping-pong switching or ping-pong reselection scene, which can cause troubles such as service quality reduction, power consumption increase of a mobile phone and the like, and a certain network resource is occupied.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining a ping-pong state, where the method is applied to a terminal, and the method includes:

step 101, if the times that a terminal accesses to a preset number of cells in a first time meet a first time, determining that the terminal is in a ping-pong access state;

It should be noted that the determining manner of the first time, the preset number and the first time includes at least one of the following:

agreement is agreed;

determining according to the network configuration;

according to the configuration of the terminal.

For example, optionally, the first time, the preset number and the first time are all protocol conventions; optionally, the first time, the preset number and the first time are all determined by network configuration; optionally, one part of the first time, the preset number and the first times is agreed by a protocol, and the other part is determined by network configuration; optionally, the first time, the preset number, and the first number are determined according to the configuration of the terminal, and in this case, the device manufacturer appoints values of the first time, the preset number, and the first number, and stores the values in the terminal side.

It should be noted that the preset number is a positive integer smaller than a specific value.

After determining that the terminal is in the ping-pong access state, the operations executed by the terminal are different due to different ping-pong access states, and the following actions of the terminal according to the embodiments of the present invention are specifically described below from the perspective of the ping-pong access state.

1. The ping-pong access state is a ping-pong handover state

In this case, the terminal may have the following two different implementations.

In the first implementation manner, after the step 101, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

and starting a first timer, and stopping reporting the measurement report of the cell corresponding to the ping-pong switching state during the running period of the first timer.

That is to say, after the terminal determines that it is in the ping-pong handover state, a first timer is started, and during the operation of the first timer, the terminal stops reporting a measurement report of a cell involved in the ping-pong handover (for example, if the terminal is switched from the cell a to the cell B, then from the cell B to the cell C, and finally from the cell C to the cell a, the cell B, and the cell C all belong to cells involved in the ping-pong handover, that is, the cell a, the cell B, and the cell C all belong to cells corresponding to the ping-pong handover state); specifically, after the terminal recognizes the ping-pong handover, in the current serving cell, the terminal continues to perform cell measurement (the cell measurement includes cells involved in the ping-pong handover and other cells not involved in the ping-pong handover), and when reporting a measurement report, only reports the measurement report of the cell not involved in the ping-pong handover to the network side device, and does not report the measurement report of the cell involved in the ping-pong handover; after the first timer is overtime, the terminal can continue to report the measurement reports of all the cells.

It should be noted that the timing duration of the first timer may be configured by a protocol agreement or a network side device, and a determination method of timeout of the first timer is further provided in the embodiment of the present invention, which specifically includes:

if a first target condition is met, determining that the first timer is overtime;

it should be noted that the first target condition includes one of the following:

a11, detecting that the difference value between the signal quality of the adjacent cell of a service cell of a terminal and the signal quality of the service cell is greater than or equal to a first preset value;

it should be noted that the signal quality may be a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); in this case, it is determined that the first timer is overtime if it is detected that RSRP/SNR of a neighboring cell of the serving cell of the terminal is higher than the serving cell by more than a first preset value within an arbitrary time.

It should be further noted that the first preset value may be configured by protocol convention or network side equipment.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the specific implementation flow of the terminal in this case is as follows:

step 201, a terminal detects that a times of switching occurs within T time, and the number of cells subjected to switching is less than B;

step 202, starting a first timer, and during the running period of the first timer, stopping reporting a measurement report of a cell related to handover by a terminal;

step 203, determining whether the difference between the signal quality of the neighboring cell of the serving cell and the signal quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first preset value, or whether the timing duration of a first timer is reached;

when the difference between the signal quality of the neighboring cell of the serving cell and the signal quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the first preset value or the timing duration of the first timer is reached, the process ends, otherwise, step 203 is continuously executed.

A12, detecting that the difference value between the signal quality of the main service cell and a first preset threshold is less than or equal to a second preset value;

this means that if it is detected that the RSRP/SNR of the primary serving cell is lower than the first preset threshold by more than the second preset value within any time, it is determined that the first timer has timed out.

It should be further noted that the second preset value may be configured by a protocol agreement or a network side device, and the first preset threshold may be configured by a protocol agreement or a network side device.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, the specific implementation flow of the terminal in this case is as follows:

step 301, a terminal detects that a times of switching occurs within T time, and the number of cells subjected to switching is less than B;

step 302, starting a first timer, and stopping reporting a measurement report of a cell related to handover by a terminal during the running period of the first timer;

step 303, judging whether the difference value obtained by subtracting the first preset threshold from the signal quality of the main serving cell is less than or equal to a second preset value or whether the timing duration of the first timer is reached;

when the difference value obtained by subtracting the first preset threshold from the signal quality of the primary serving cell is less than or equal to the second preset value or the timing duration of the first timer is reached, the process is ended, otherwise, step 303 is continuously executed.

It should be noted that the terminal may directly time out after the timing duration of the first timer is reached, or may directly set the first timer to a time-out state when detecting that a11 or a12 occurs during the operation of the first timer.

In a second implementation manner, after determining that the terminal is in the ping-pong access state if the number of times that the terminal accesses the preset number of cells in the first time satisfies the first number of times, the method further includes:

sending uplink information to network side equipment;

the uplink information includes: and the indication information is used for indicating that the terminal is in a ping-pong access state.

It should be noted that, in this implementation, when it is determined that the terminal is in the ping-pong handover state, the terminal may notify the network side device of the ping-pong handover state, specifically, indication information for indicating that the terminal is in the ping-pong handover state may be newly added to the uplink information, and optionally, a specific implementation is as follows: when the terminal is determined to be in the ping-pong switching state, the uplink information carries indication information for indicating that the terminal is in the ping-pong switching state, and when the terminal is not in the ping-pong switching state, the uplink information does not carry the indication information; another specific implementation manner is as follows: regardless of whether the terminal is in the ping-pong handover state, an Information Element (IE) is added to the uplink Information, for example, ispingpingho, to indicate whether the terminal is in the ping-pong handover state, when it is determined that the terminal is in the ping-pong handover state, a value of the Information Element is true to indicate that the terminal is in the ping-pong handover state, and when the terminal is not in the ping-pong handover state, a value of the Information Element is false to indicate that the terminal is not in the ping-pong handover state.

It should be further noted that the uplink information includes one of the following items:

a21, measurement Report (MR);

and when the terminal detects ping-pong handover, setting ispingpong HO in the measurement report to true for the measurement report triggered each time later, reporting the ispingpong HO to the network side equipment, and setting ispingpong HO in the next measurement report to false until the ping-pong handover exits, and reporting the ispingpong HO to the network side equipment.

A22, non-access stratum message (NAS message)

When the terminal detects ping-pong handover, the ispingpong HO in the NAS message is set as true and reported to the network side equipment, and the ispingpong HO in the sent NAS message is set as false and reported to the network side equipment until the ping-pong handover exits; it should be noted that the NAS message is an encrypted message and is carried by RRC.

A23, terminal capability information

And when the terminal detects ping-pong handover, triggering the terminal capability report, setting the ispingpong HO in the terminal capability information as true, reporting the true to the network side equipment, actively triggering the terminal capability report until the ping-pong handover exits, setting the ispingpong HO in the terminal capability information as false, and reporting the false to the network side equipment.

A24, radio Resource Control (RRC) switching reconfiguration response message

And when the terminal detects the ping-pong handover, setting isPingpongHO in the RRC handover reconfiguration response message as true, reporting the isPingpongHO to the network side equipment, and setting isPingpongHO in the RRC handover reconfiguration response message as false until the terminal exits the ping-pong handover, and reporting the isPingpongHO to the network side equipment.

A25, channel State Information (CSI)

And when the terminal detects the ping-pong handover, setting isPingpongHO in the CSI to true for the CSI reported each time, reporting the CSI to the network side equipment, setting isPingpongHO in the CSI sent later to false until the terminal exits the ping-pong handover, and reporting the CSI to the network side equipment.

A26, terminal auxiliary information;

and when the terminal detects ping-pong handover, setting ispingpong HO in the terminal auxiliary information as true, reporting the true to the network side equipment, and setting ispingpong HO in the terminal auxiliary information as false and reporting the false to the network side equipment until the ping-pong handover exits.

It should be noted that, the network side device may obtain ispingpong ho in the uplink message sent by different terminals in real time, and may detect whether the terminal is in ping-pong handover in time, and perform adjustment. By collecting the real-time switching conditions of different terminals in a specific area, whether the real-time switching conditions are unreasonable for the configuration of the network side equipment can be positioned.

For the network side equipment, if the ispingpong HO reported by the terminal in the area reaches a certain number of true, the network side equipment needs to early warn in time, and the measurement and control event is rapidly adjusted on the network side equipment according to the switching event of ping-pong switching, so that the problem of batch users is solved; if only the specific terminal has ping-pong handover, the specific user problem can be solved in a targeted manner by taking measures such as not issuing a handover command (HO command) and the like. The protocol is newly added, and when the terminal actively reports ping-pong switching, the network side equipment does not send HO command any more.

As shown in fig. 4, for such a case, the specific implementation flows of the terminal and the network side device are as follows:

step 401, the terminal detects that a times of switching occurs within T time, and the number of cells subjected to switching is less than B;

step 402, the terminal sends ispingpong HO true to the network side device in the uplink message;

step 403, the network side device judges whether the number of ispingpong ho true sent by all terminals in the coverage area reaches a set value;

if the set value is reached, executing step 404, otherwise, executing step 405;

step 404, network early warning is carried out, and corresponding handover measurement event parameters are adjusted;

step 405, taking a measure of stopping issuing the handover command to the specific terminal.

It should be further noted that, after the terminal sends the uplink information to the network side device, the terminal may further start a second timer, and during the running period of the second timer, it is determined that the network side device does not send the cell switching information.

That is, during the operation of the second timer, the terminal considers that the network-side device does not issue the handover information (e.g., the handover request information) of the cell, and even if the terminal receives the handover information of the cell issued by the network-side device, the terminal does not perform the cell handover operation.

It should be noted that the timing duration of the second timer may be configured by a protocol agreement or a network side device, and an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for determining timeout of the second timer, which specifically includes:

if a second target condition is met, determining that the second timer is overtime;

it should be noted that the second target condition includes one of the following:

b11, detecting that the difference value between the signal quality of the neighbor cell of the service cell of the terminal and the signal quality of the service cell is larger than or equal to a third preset value;

it should be noted that the signal quality may be a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); in this case, if it is detected that the RSRP/SNR of the neighbor cell of the serving cell of the terminal in the measurement report is higher than the serving cell by more than the third preset value within any time, it is determined that the second timer is over time.

It should be further noted that the third preset value may be configured by a protocol convention or a network side device.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, the implementation flow of the terminal in this case is specifically as follows:

step 501, a terminal detects that a times of switching occurs within T time, and the number of cells subjected to switching is less than B;

step 502, the terminal sends ispingpong HO true to the network side device in the uplink message;

step 503, starting a second timer, and during the running period of the second timer, when the network side issues the relevant cell switching request, the terminal may not respond;

step 504, judging whether the difference value obtained by subtracting the signal quality of the serving cell from the signal quality of the neighboring cell of the serving cell in the measurement report is greater than or equal to a third preset value or whether the timing duration of a second timer is reached;

when the difference between the signal quality of the neighboring cell of the serving cell and the signal quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the third preset value or the timing duration of the second timer is reached, the process ends, otherwise, step 504 is continuously executed.

B12, detecting that the difference value between the signal quality of the service cell of the terminal and the second preset threshold is less than or equal to a fourth preset value;

this means that if it is detected that the RSRP/SNR of the primary serving cell in the measurement report is lower than the second preset threshold by more than the fourth preset value within any time, it is determined that the second timer is over time.

It should be further noted that the fourth preset value may be set by a protocol or configured by a network device, and the second preset threshold may be set by a protocol or configured by a network device.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, the specific implementation flow of the terminal in this case is as follows:

601, the terminal detects that A times of switching occurs within T time, and the number of cells subjected to switching is less than B;

step 602, the terminal sends ispingpong HO true to the network side device in the uplink message;

step 603, a second timer is started, and when the network side issues a relevant cell switching request during the running period of the second timer, the terminal may not respond;

step 604, determining whether the difference between the signal quality of the serving cell of the terminal in the measurement report and the second preset threshold is less than or equal to a fourth preset value, or whether the timing duration of the second timer is reached;

when the difference between the signal quality of the serving cell and the second preset threshold is less than or equal to the fourth preset value or the timing duration of the second timer is reached, the process ends, otherwise, step 604 is executed continuously.

It should be noted that the terminal may directly time out after the timed duration of the second timer is reached, or may directly set the second timer to time out when detecting that the condition of B11 or B12 occurs during the running period of the second timer.

2. The ping-pong access state is a ping-pong reselection state

It should be noted that, when the terminal detects that it is in the ping-pong reselection state in the idle state, it needs to send uplink information to the network side device;

It should be noted that, in this implementation, when it is determined that the terminal is in the ping-pong reselection state, the terminal may notify the network side device of the ping-pong reselection state, specifically, indication information for indicating that the terminal is in the ping-pong reselection state may be newly added in the uplink information, and optionally, a specific implementation is as follows: when the terminal is determined to be in the ping-pong reselection state, the uplink information carries indication information for indicating that the terminal is in the ping-pong reselection state, and when the terminal is not in the ping-pong reselection state, the uplink information does not carry the indication information; another specific implementation manner is as follows: regardless of whether the terminal is in the ping-pong reselection state, an Information Element (IE) is added to the uplink Information, for example, an Information Element X, to indicate whether the terminal is in the ping-pong reselection state, when it is determined that the terminal is in the ping-pong reselection state, a value of the Information Element is true to indicate that the terminal is in the ping-pong reselection state, and when the terminal is not in the ping-pong reselection state, a value of the Information Element is false to indicate that the terminal is not in the ping-pong reselection state.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the terminal can smoothly transmit the uplink information, the terminal needs to enter the connected state from the idle state before transmitting the uplink information.

b21, measurement Report (MR);

after the terminal detects ping-pong reselection, for a measurement report triggered each time later, setting an information element X in the measurement report to be true, and reporting the true to network side equipment, and after the ping-pong reselection exits, setting the information element X in a next measurement report to be false, and reporting the false to the network side equipment.

B22, non-Access stratum message (NAS message)

After the terminal detects ping-pong reselection, setting the information element X in the NAS message to true, reporting the true to network side equipment, and after the ping-pong reselection exits, setting the information element X in the sent NAS message to false, and reporting the false to the network side equipment; it should be noted that the NAS message is an encrypted message and is carried by RRC.

B23, terminal capability information

And when the terminal detects ping-pong reselection, triggering the terminal capability report, setting the information element X of the terminal capability information as true, reporting the true to the network side equipment, actively triggering the terminal capability report until the ping-pong reselection exits, setting the information element X of the terminal capability information as false, and reporting the false to the network side equipment.

B24, radio Resource Control (RRC) switching reconfiguration response message

And when the terminal detects ping-pong reselection, setting the information element X in the RRC switching reconfiguration response message to true, reporting the true to the network side equipment, and setting the information element X in the sent RRC switching reconfiguration response message to false until the ping-pong reselection exits, and reporting the false to the network side equipment.

B25, channel State Information (CSI)

After the terminal detects ping-pong reselection, for the CSI reported each time later, setting the information element X in the CSI to be true, reporting the CSI to the network side equipment, and setting the information element X in the CSI sent later to be false and reporting the CSI to the network side equipment until the ping-pong reselection is exited.

B26, terminal auxiliary information;

and when the terminal detects ping-pong reselection, setting the information element X in the terminal auxiliary information to true, reporting the true to the network side equipment, and setting the information element X in the sent terminal auxiliary information to false until the ping-pong reselection exits, and reporting the false to the network side equipment.

It should be further noted that after the terminal finishes sending the uplink information, it needs to perform network release, and the connected state is recovered to the idle state.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, the specific implementation flow of the terminal in this case is as follows:

step 701, a terminal detects that a times of switching occurs within T time, and the number of cells subjected to switching is less than B;

step 702, the terminal enters a connection state, sends an information element X of true to the network side equipment in an uplink message, and then releases the connection to enter an idle state;

step 703, the terminal monitors whether the conditions that a times of switching occurs and the number of cells subjected to switching is less than B within T time are met;

if yes, the terminal continues to execute step 702, otherwise, the process is ended.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention can ensure that the terminal is capable of determining that the terminal is in the ping-pong handover or ping-pong reselection state, the terminal may choose not to report the measurement report related thereto, and may also notify the network side device that the terminal is in the ping-pong handover state or ping-pong reselection state, and the network side device performs access control, so that the power consumption of the terminal can be significantly reduced, the endurance is improved, the quality of user data and voice services is improved, and the occupation of network resources by ping-pong handover or ping-pong reselection can be solved.

As shown in fig. 8, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an information receiving method, which is applied to a network side device, and includes:

step 801, receiving uplink information sent by a terminal;

Specifically, the uplink information includes one of:

measurement report, non-access stratum message, terminal capability information, radio Resource Control (RRC) handover reconfiguration response message, channel state information and terminal auxiliary information.

Optionally, when the ping-pong access state is the ping-pong handover state, after receiving the uplink information sent by the terminal, the method further includes:

and starting a third timer, and stopping sending the cell switching information by the network side equipment during the running period of the third timer.

Further, after the starting the third timer, the method further includes:

if a third target condition is met, determining that the third timer is overtime;

wherein the third target condition comprises one of:

c11, detecting that the difference value between the signal quality of the adjacent cell of the serving cell of the terminal in the measurement report reported by the terminal and the signal quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a third preset value;

and C12, detecting that the difference value between the signal quality of the serving cell in the measurement report reported by the terminal and the third preset threshold is less than or equal to a fourth preset value.

It should be noted that, in the running process of the third timer, the network side device does not send cell switching information (for example, a switching request) to the terminal, and the network side device may directly time out after the timing duration of the third timer is reached, or may directly set the third timer to a time-out state when the situation of C11 or C12 is detected during the running period of the third timer; after the third timer expires, the network side device may continue to send the cell handover information to the terminal.

It should be noted that all descriptions related to the network side device in the above embodiments are applicable to the embodiment of the information receiving method, and the same technical effects can also be achieved, and are not described herein again.

As shown in fig. 9, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal 900, including:

a first determining module 901, configured to determine that the terminal is in a ping-pong access state if the number of times that the terminal accesses the preset number of cells in the first time satisfies a first number of times;

Specifically, the determining manner of the first time, the preset number and the first time includes at least one of the following:

agreement is agreed;

determining according to the network configuration;

according to the configuration of the terminal.

Optionally, when the ping-pong access state is the ping-pong handover state, after the first determining module 901 determines that the terminal is in the ping-pong access state if the number of times that the terminal accesses the preset number of cells in the first time satisfies the first number of times, the method further includes:

and the first execution module is used for starting a first timer and stopping reporting the measurement report of the cell corresponding to the ping-pong switching state during the running period of the first timer.
