Description

Unauthorized frequency band cell switching method, terminal and network side equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, a terminal, and a network side device for cell handover in an unlicensed frequency band.

Background

Currently, the Third Generation Partnership project (3 GPP) has initiated research on the Unlicensed band (NR-U: NR in Unlicensed Spectrum) of the fifth Generation mobile communication technology (5G) -New Radio (NR) as an extension and supplement to the 5G NR. The initial intention of NR-U is to consider that licensed spectrum resources are limited, and to meet the traffic demands of seamless coverage and high data rate (large bandwidth), an NR protocol is used to provide access services in an unlicensed frequency band (including 2.4GHz, 3.5GHz, 5GHz, and the like), for example, when a terminal has large-traffic non-real-time traffic, the terminal can be carried by a cell in the unlicensed frequency band, and the pressure of the cell in the licensed frequency band is relieved. Due to the unlicensed nature of unlicensed spectrum, some countries or regions (e.g., european union, japan) require channel occupancy monitoring Before any communication is performed in unlicensed spectrum, i.e., communication can be performed after Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) is successful. Therefore, LBT failure will affect any air interface interworking (including control plane and user plane) in the cellular network protocol. For example, when LBT on a certain time-frequency Resource fails, system messages, access requests, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, user data, and the like cannot be sent on the time-frequency Resource, which results in delay or failure of reception at the network side or the terminal side.

When the terminal is far from the serving cell or close to a better neighboring cell, handover is required to guarantee service performance. Therefore, the terminal needs to measure the serving cell and/or the neighboring cell, and report a measurement report to the serving cell when a certain condition is met, so that the serving cell makes a handover decision according to the measurement report.

It can be seen that the existing trigger condition for reporting the measurement report is based on the result measured by the receiving end of the terminal side, and due to the exclusivity of the authorized frequency band and the resource scheduling mechanism of the cellular network, the handover decision is made according to the result, so that the service performance of the terminal after entering the target cell can be effectively guaranteed. However, for the unlicensed frequency band, due to the unlicensed sharing characteristic and the LBT mechanism, the measurement report reporting based on the result measured by the terminal-side receiving end completely may cause unnecessary reporting and corresponding power consumption, and the handover decision based on the result measured by the terminal-side receiving end completely may not guarantee the service performance of the terminal after entering the target cell. As shown in fig. 1, a typical scenario is that when there are other operators or access points that are deployed by other operators or private persons and operate in an unlicensed frequency band near a serving cell or a neighboring cell in the unlicensed frequency band (generally referred to as a hidden node problem), a measurement quantity measured by a terminal may not reflect actual network performance of the cell, for example, the terminal may measure a stronger Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or a lower channel busy rate, but a channel is busy at a sending end of the serving cell or the neighboring cell due to the presence of other access points, so that an LBT success rate is low, and a service cannot be provided for a newly accessed terminal.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the invention, are within the scope of the invention.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for cell handover in an unlicensed frequency band according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a network side device, and includes the following steps:

step 21: the network side equipment acquires the information of the unauthorized frequency band channel measured by the network side equipment and/or the network side equipment of the adjacent cell;

step 22: and the network side equipment generates switching decision information according to the unauthorized frequency band channel information and sends the switching decision information to a terminal.

The network side device may be a network side device of a serving cell, and specifically may be a serving cell base station.

In the embodiment of the invention, the network side equipment performs switching decision based on the unauthorized frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment and/or the network side equipment of the adjacent cell, and the terminal does not need to perform measurement and report a measurement report, so that the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced, and the service performance of the terminal after entering the target cell can be ensured.

The following exemplifies the above-mentioned unlicensed band cell handover method.

That is, the network side device (of the serving cell) may obtain the unlicensed frequency band channel information through layer 2 measurement, and the network side device of the neighboring cell may also obtain the unlicensed frequency band channel information through layer 2 measurement.

LBT success rate;

LBT failure rate;

the number of successful LBTs per unit time;

the number of LBT failures per unit time;

the average length of time it takes for LBT to succeed;

a load level;

the ratio of the channel idle duration to the total measurement duration;

the ratio of the channel occupied duration to the total measurement duration.

Wherein the total measurement duration may be equal to a sum of a channel idle duration and a channel occupied duration.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device (of the serving cell) includes at least one of the above parameters; the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment of the adjacent cell also includes at least one of the above parameters.

That is, the network side devices may interact the unlicensed frequency band channel information through an interface between base stations. Specifically, the inter-base station interface may be an Xn interface or an X2 interface.

That is, if the parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network-side device and/or the parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network-side device of the neighboring cell satisfy the handover condition, the network-side device (of the serving cell) determines to perform handover, otherwise, the neighboring cell may be listed as a cell prohibited from being accessed.

In addition, if the network-side device (of the serving cell) collects the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network-side devices of the neighboring cells, and the neighboring cells are listed as cells prohibited from being accessed according to the handover condition, the handover decision information includes a list of cells prohibited from being accessed.

Further optionally, the handover decision information further includes a barring validity duration for the barring-accessed cell. That is, if the network side device (of the serving cell) lists the neighboring cell as a cell to which access is prohibited according to the parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information that does not satisfy the handover condition, a valid time duration prohibition for the neighboring cell may be provided. During the forbidden validity period, the neighboring cell will not be the target cell for handover.

Optionally, the handover condition includes at least one of:

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is greater than or less than a first threshold. Here, the LBT success rate is only an example, and the parameters in the unlicensed frequency band channel information may also be an LBT failure rate, the number of LBT successes in a unit time, the number of LBT failures in a unit time, an average duration spent for LBT successes, a load level, a ratio of a channel idle duration to a total measurement duration, a ratio of a channel occupied duration to a total measurement duration, and the like.

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell is greater than or less than a second threshold.

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is smaller than or larger than a third threshold, and the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell is larger than or smaller than a fourth threshold.

A fifth preset condition is met between a parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment and a parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment of the adjacent cell;

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is less than or greater than the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell. For another example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is less than or greater than the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell, and the difference is greater than a fifth threshold.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for cell handover in an unlicensed frequency band according to a second embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a network side device, and includes the following steps:

step 31: the network side equipment acquires the information of the unauthorized frequency band channel measured by the network side equipment and/or the network side equipment of the adjacent cell;

step 32: and the network side equipment sends the unauthorized frequency band channel information to a terminal, so that the terminal determines whether to send a measurement report according to the unauthorized frequency band channel information.

It should be noted that, after receiving the measurement report sent by the terminal, the network side device may make a switching decision according to the measurement report, or make a switching decision according to the measurement report in combination with the unlicensed frequency band channel information.

In addition, the network side device may be a network side device of a serving cell, and specifically may be a serving cell base station.

The embodiment of the present invention is mainly different from the first embodiment in that the network side device does not directly perform a handover decision according to the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell and/or the self-measurement, but sends the unlicensed frequency band channel information to the terminal, so that the terminal determines whether to send a measurement report according to the unlicensed frequency band channel information. And then the network side equipment carries out switching decision according to a measurement report sent by the terminal or according to the measurement report and the unauthorized frequency band channel information.

In the embodiment of the invention, the network side equipment sends the unauthorized frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment and/or the network side equipment of the adjacent cell to the terminal, so that the terminal determines whether to send the measurement report according to the unauthorized frequency band channel information, unnecessary report caused by the fact that the terminal triggers the report of the measurement report only according to the measurement result of the terminal can be avoided, and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced. In addition, if the network side device performs a handover decision by combining the information of the unlicensed frequency band channel after receiving the measurement report reported by the terminal, the service performance of the terminal after entering the target cell can be ensured.

step 42: and the network side equipment sends first indication information for reporting a measurement report or second indication information for not reporting the measurement report to the terminal according to the channel information of the unlicensed frequency band.

It should be noted that, in some optional specific embodiments, if the terminal receives the first indication information, the terminal sends a measurement report to a network side device; in other optional specific embodiments, if the terminal receives the first indication information, it further needs to determine whether a measurement report needs to be sent according to measurement data obtained by its own measurement, and if it determines that a measurement report needs to be sent according to measurement data obtained by its own measurement, the terminal sends the measurement report, otherwise, the terminal does not send the measurement report. And if the terminal receives the second indication information, the terminal does not send a measurement report.

In addition, after receiving the measurement report sent by the terminal, the network side device may make a switching decision directly according to the measurement report, or may make a switching decision according to the measurement report and the unlicensed frequency band channel information.

The embodiment of the present invention is mainly different from the second embodiment in that: the network side equipment does not directly send the unauthorized frequency band channel information to the terminal, and then the terminal judges whether a measurement report needs to be sent or not according to the unauthorized frequency band channel information; the network side equipment judges whether the terminal is required to send the measurement report according to the channel information of the unauthorized frequency band, if so, the network side equipment sends first indication information to the terminal, if not, the network side equipment sends second indication information to the terminal, then the terminal sends the measurement report if receiving the first indication information or sends the measurement report if the self measurement data meets the reporting condition, and the terminal does not send the measurement report if receiving the second indication information.

In the embodiment of the invention, the network side equipment sends the first indication information for reporting the measurement report or the second indication information for not reporting the measurement report to the terminal according to the unauthorized frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment of the adjacent cell and/or the self-measurement result, so that the unnecessary reporting caused by the fact that the terminal triggers the reporting of the measurement report according to the self-measurement result can be avoided, and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced. In addition, if the network side device performs a handover decision by combining the information of the unlicensed frequency band channel after receiving the measurement report reported by the terminal, the service performance of the terminal after entering the target cell can be ensured.

The embodiments of the present invention provide technical solutions corresponding to the above embodiments and having the same inventive concept, and can achieve the same technical effects.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a method for cell handover in an unlicensed frequency band according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps:

step 61: the terminal receives the information of the unauthorized frequency band channel sent by the network side equipment;

step 62: and the terminal determines whether to send a measurement report according to the unauthorized frequency band channel information, wherein the unauthorized frequency band channel information is obtained by the measurement of the network side equipment and/or the measurement of the network side equipment of the adjacent cell.

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal receives the unauthorized frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment and/or the network side equipment of the adjacent cell and determines whether to send the measurement report according to the unauthorized frequency band channel information, so that unnecessary reporting caused by the fact that the terminal triggers the reporting of the measurement report only according to the self measurement result can be avoided, and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced. In addition, if the network side device performs a handover decision by combining the information of the unlicensed frequency band channel after receiving the measurement report reported by the terminal, the service performance of the terminal after entering the target cell can be ensured.

Optionally, the terminal obtains the unlicensed frequency band channel information by receiving an RRC signaling or reference information sent by a network side device.

LBT success rate;

LBT failure rate;

the number of successful LBTs per unit time;

the number of LBT failures per unit time;

the average length of time it takes for LBT to succeed;

a load level;

the ratio of the channel idle duration to the total measurement duration;

the ratio of the channel occupied duration to the total measurement duration.

In some optional specific embodiments, the step of determining whether to send a measurement report according to the unlicensed frequency band channel information includes:

In addition, if the parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information does not meet the first measurement report reporting trigger condition, determining not to send a measurement report.

Further optionally, the first measurement report reporting trigger condition includes at least one of:

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is greater than or less than a sixth threshold. Here, the LBT success rate is only an example, and the parameters in the unlicensed frequency band channel information may also be an LBT failure rate, the number of LBT successes in a unit time, the number of LBT failures in a unit time, an average duration spent for LBT successes, a load level, a ratio of a channel idle duration to a total measurement duration, a ratio of a channel occupied duration to a total measurement duration, and the like.

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell is greater than or less than a seventh threshold.

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is smaller than or greater than an eighth threshold, and the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell is larger than or less than a ninth threshold.

A tenth preset condition is met between a parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment and a parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side equipment of the adjacent cell;

for example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is less than or greater than the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell. For another example, the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device is less than or greater than the LBT success rate in the unlicensed frequency band channel information measured by the network side device of the neighboring cell, and the difference is greater than a tenth threshold.

In other optional specific embodiments, the step of determining whether to send a measurement report according to the unlicensed frequency band channel information includes:

In other optional embodiments, if the parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information satisfies the first measurement report reporting trigger condition, but the parameter value measured by the terminal does not satisfy the second measurement report reporting trigger condition, it is determined not to send a measurement report. Or, if the parameter value measured by the terminal satisfies the second measurement report reporting trigger condition, but the parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information does not satisfy the first measurement report reporting trigger condition, determining not to send a measurement report. Or, if the parameter value in the unlicensed frequency band channel information does not satisfy the first measurement report reporting trigger condition and the parameter value measured by the terminal does not satisfy the second measurement report reporting trigger condition, determining not to send a measurement report.

That is, the terminal not only determines whether to send the measurement report according to the unlicensed frequency band channel information, but also determines whether to send the measurement report according to its own measurement data.

Specifically, for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the second measurement report reporting trigger condition is based on a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), a Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), a Reference Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (RS-SINR), a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Channel busy rate, and the like of a serving cell and/or a neighboring cell measured by the terminal; for a New Radio (NR) system, the triggering condition for reporting the second measurement report is based on RSRP, RSRQ, RS-SINR, etc. of a serving cell and/or an adjacent cell measured by the terminal.

step 71: the terminal receives first indication information or second indication information sent by network side equipment, wherein the first indication information or the second indication information is generated according to unlicensed frequency band channel information, the first indication information is used for indicating the terminal to report a measurement report, and the second indication information is used for indicating the terminal not to report the measurement report;

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal receives the first indication information or the second indication information sent by the network side equipment according to the channel information of the unlicensed frequency band (obtained by self measurement and/or obtained by measurement of the network side equipment of the adjacent cell), and determines whether to send the measurement report according to the first indication information or the second indication information, so that unnecessary reporting caused by the fact that the terminal triggers the reporting of the measurement report according to the self measurement result can be avoided, and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced. In addition, if the network side device performs a handover decision by combining the information of the unlicensed frequency band channel after receiving the measurement report reported by the terminal, the service performance of the terminal after entering the target cell can be ensured.

In addition, after the step of the terminal receiving the first indication information or the second indication information sent by the network side device, the method further includes:

if the terminal receives the first indication information, a measurement report is sent, or when the parameter value measured by the terminal meets the triggering condition of reporting a second measurement report, the measurement report is sent;

and if the terminal receives the second indication information, not sending a measurement report.
