However, in the above method, since the cell to which the UE is handed over is evaluated and determined by the UE, the handed-over cell may have a deviation, for example, the high-speed cell determined by the UE may be a non-high-speed cell, so that the UE may be handed over to the non-high-speed cell in a high-speed moving state, thereby causing a call drop or a radio link failure of the UE.

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 application.
The term "and/or" herein is an association relationship describing an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The symbol "/" herein denotes a relationship in which the associated object is or, for example, a/B denotes a or B.
The terms "first" and "second," and the like, in the description and in the claims of the present invention are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, the first information, the second information, and the like are for distinguishing different information, not for describing a specific order of information.
In the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.
In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality" means two or more, for example, a plurality of elements means two or more elements, and the like.
The following first gives an exemplary description of terms/nouns to which embodiments of the present invention relate.
HSDN (high speed private network): refers to a network deployed along a road (e.g., along a railway, etc.) in order to ensure the network service quality of UEs on a vehicle (e.g., a high-speed rail, etc.) with a high moving speed (e.g., a high moving speed level).
A high-speed moving state: the mobility state is a mobility state in which the UE mobility speed is greater than or equal to a certain threshold (e.g., a threshold agreed by a protocol or a threshold indicated by a network device). For example, a UE is in a High Speed Train (HST) mobile state.
Non-high-speed moving state: refers to a moving state in which the UE moving speed is less than a certain threshold (e.g., a threshold agreed by a protocol or a threshold configured or indicated by a network device).
CHO (conditional switching): the method refers to a conditional handover procedure introduced to avoid a failure of cell handover of the UE due to the fact that the UE cannot receive a handover command related message of a source node after a channel condition of the UE in a source cell is degraded.
The following describes an exemplary flow of condition switching with reference to fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 1, the main steps of the conditional switching process are as follows:
step 1: the source node sends handover request information (HO request) to one or more target nodes.
Step 2: the target node feeds back handover acknowledgement information (HO request ACK) to the source node.
And step 3: the source node sends configuration information (with resource reservation) for conditional handover to the UE.
And 4, step 4: the UE evaluates whether the candidate cells (i.e., nodes) satisfy the condition, and selects a target cell (i.e., a target node) for handover after satisfying the condition (evaluation of the condition for the candidate cells and select one target for handover).
And 5: the UE initiates a random access procedure (content free or RACH-less access or content based RACH) in the selected target cell.
Step 6: the UE sends handover complete information (HO complete) to the target node.
And 7: the source node sends a cancel conditional handover command (conditional HO cancel) to other target nodes.
And 8: the other target nodes send a conditional handover cancellation confirmation command (conditional HO cancellation confirmation) to the source node.
The embodiment of the invention provides a cell switching method, equipment and a system.A UE (user equipment) can receive first information sent by network equipment, wherein the first information is used for indicating M candidate cells and the cell type of each candidate cell, and the cell type is a high-speed cell or a non-high-speed cell; determining a target cell from the M candidate cells according to the moving state of the UE and the first information, wherein the target cell is a cell matched with the moving state of the UE; and switching to the target cell, wherein M is a positive integer. Through the scheme, since the first information can be used for indicating the M candidate cells and the cell type of each candidate cell in the M candidate cells, when the UE performs cell handover (for example, when the mobility state of the UE changes, etc.), the UE can accurately determine a cell (i.e., a target cell) matching the mobility state of the UE from the M candidate cells according to the mobility state of the UE and the received first information, so that the UE can accurately handover to a cell matching the mobility state of the UE, for example, when the mobility state of the UE is a high-speed mobility state, the UE can accurately handover to a high-speed cell, thereby ensuring the communication quality of the UE and avoiding a call drop or a radio link failure of the UE.
The cell switching method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a communication system. The communication system may be a wireless communication system, which may include a network device and a UE. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 2, the wireless communication system may include a network apparatus 01 and a UE 02. Wherein, the network device 01 and the UE 02 can establish a connection. It is understood that a wireless connection may be between network device 01 and UE 02.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the UE is a device providing voice and/or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device having a wired/wireless connection function, or another processing device connected to a wireless modem. A UE may communicate with one or more core network devices via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The UE may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer having a mobile terminal, or a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges speech and/or data with the RAN, such as a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and so on. The UE may also be referred to as a user agent (user agent) or UE, etc.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the network device is a device deployed in the RAN for providing a wireless communication function for the UE. In the embodiment of the present invention, the network device may be a base station, and the base station may include various macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, and the like. In systems using different radio access technologies, the names of devices that function as base stations may differ. For example, in a 5G system, it may be referred to as a 5G base station (gNB); in fourth Generation wireless communication (4-Generation, 4G) systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, may be referred to as evolved Node bs (enbs); in a third generation mobile communication (3G) system, it may be referred to as a base station (Node B) or the like. As communication technology evolves, the name "base station" may change.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the UE is in a connected state, the UE may receive measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and then the UE may perform measurement according to the measurement configuration information and send a measurement report to the network device. After the network device receives the measurement report, the network device may send information (e.g., the first information in the embodiment of the present invention) to the UE according to the measurement report to indicate the at least one candidate cell and the cell type of each candidate cell in the at least one candidate cell to the UE. In this way, when the UE performs cell handover, the UE may determine a cell matching the mobility state of the UE from the at least one candidate cell according to the mobility state of the UE and the information, and handover to the cell, so that the communication quality of the UE may be ensured. For example, when the mobility state of the UE is a high-speed mobility state, the UE may be handed over to a high-speed cell, so that a call drop or a radio link failure of the UE may be avoided.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cell matched with the moving state of the UE may be specifically determined according to the moving state of the UE. For example, when the moving state of the UE is a high speed moving state, the cell matching the moving state of the UE may be a high speed cell; when the moving state of the UE is the non-high speed moving state, the cell matching the moving state of the UE may be a non-high speed cell, and so on.
The following describes an exemplary cell handover method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cell handover method, which may be applied to the wireless communication system shown in fig. 2, and the method may include the following S201-S204.
S201, the network equipment sends first information to the UE.
The first information may be used to indicate M candidate cells and a cell type of each candidate cell in the M candidate cells, where the cell type may be a high speed cell or a non-high speed cell, and M is a positive integer.
S202, the UE receives first information sent by the network equipment.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the network device may send the first information to the UE, so as to indicate the M candidate cells and the cell type of each candidate cell to the UE. As such, after the UE receives the first information, the UE may determine the M candidate cells, and the type of each candidate cell.
It should be noted that, the candidate cells mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention may be understood as: the network equipment indicates to the UE that the UE can select a cell for handover.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the types of the first information may be multiple. When the types of the first information are different, the content included in the first information may also be different.
The following takes two possible cases (case one and case two, respectively) as an example to illustrate the first information and the content included in the first information.
The first condition is as follows: the first information is a conditional handover command, and the conditional handover command may include M cell identities and indication information corresponding to each of the M cell identities.
Each cell id may be used to indicate a candidate cell, and each indication information may be used to indicate a cell type of the candidate cell.
It is to be understood that, in the first case, the conditional handover command may include M cell identifiers and M indication information, where each cell identifier may correspond to one indication information respectively.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, one cell identifier (any one of the M cell identifiers) may be any identifier that can indicate a cell, such as a cell identifier code and a cell frequency point. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, one piece of indication information (any one of the M pieces of indication information) may be any one of the following: cell type indication information, a second System Information Block (SIB), a threshold for a speed trigger condition.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the indication information is different, and the manner in which the conditional switch command carries the indication information may be different, that is, the configuration of the conditional switch command may be different.
In the following, taking one indication information as an example, three possible implementation manners that the indication information is cell type indication information, the indication information is a second SIB, and the indication information is a threshold of the speed trigger condition are exemplarily described.
The first implementation mode comprises the following steps: the indication information is cell type indication information.
Optionally, for the first implementation manner, the cell type indication information may be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the RRC parameter may be a high speed dedicated network indication (HSDN-indication) parameter or a high speed dedicated network cell (HSDN-cell) parameter. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the RRC parameter is the HSDN-indication parameter, the HSDN-indication parameter may indicate whether the first cell is configured as the high speed cell, so as to indicate whether the first cell is the high speed cell (i.e., indicate the cell type of the first cell).
The first cell may be a cell indicated by a cell identifier corresponding to the indication information.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, whether the first cell is a high speed cell may be indicated by a boolean (boolean) type of the HSDN-indication parameter.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the RRC parameter is the HSDN-cell parameter, it may directly indicate whether the first cell is a high speed cell (i.e., indicate a cell type of the first cell) through the HSDN-cell parameter.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, whether the first cell is a high speed cell may be indicated by true or false of the HSDN-cell parameter.
For example, when the HSDN-cell parameter is true, the first cell may be indicated as a high speed cell; when the HSDN-cell parameter is false, the first cell may be indicated as a non-high speed cell.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, for the first implementation manner described above (where one piece of indication information is cell type indication information), the cell type indication information may be carried in one cell of the conditional handover command or in an information segment of the one cell.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the RRC reconfiguration message may include a conditional handover command (specifically, a conditional handover configuration), and the cell type indication information may be carried in a conditional handover configuration cell (for example, cho-config.cho-configtoaddmod.cho-RRCReconfig) or an information segment of the conditional handover configuration cell.
Optionally, when the cell type indication information is an HSDN-cell parameter, the HSDN-cell parameter may be carried in a common serving cell configuration (ServingCellConfigCommon).
Illustratively, the ServingCellConfigCommon carrying HSDN-cell parameters may be in the following format:
ServingcellConfigCommon:::::::::::::/common serving cell configuration
PhysCellId PhysCellId OPTIONAL,--Cond HOAndServCellAdd,
hsdn-Cell estimated { true, false } optimal,// high speed Cell indication
…}
Optionally, when the cell type indication information is an HSDN-indication parameter, the HSDN-indication parameter may be carried in a cho-Config cell configured for conditional handover.
For example, the cho-Config cell carrying HSDN-indication parameters may be in the following format:
CHO-ConfigToAddMod-r16:: ═ SEQUENCE {// CONDITIONAL SWITCHING CONFIGURATION ADD MODIFICATION
cho-ConfigId-r16 CHO-ConfigId-r16,
cho-ExecutionCond-r16 SEQUENCE(SIZE(1..2))OF MeasId,
cho-RRCReconfig-r16 OCTET STRING(CONTAINING RRCReconfiguration),
hsdn-Indication BOOLEAN OPTIONAL,// high speed cell Indication
...}
It should be noted that, for the first implementation manner (the indication information is cell type indication information), the indication information may also be carried in the conditional handover command in any other possible manner, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
The second implementation mode comprises the following steps: the indication information is a second SIB.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second SIB may be the SIB1 of the first cell (the cell indicated by the cell identifier corresponding to the indication information).
Wherein, whether the first cell is a high speed cell, i.e. indicating the cell type of the first cell, may be indicated in SIB 1.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the second SIB is SIB1, SIB1 may be a special SIB 1-transfer (truncated SIB1-delivery)
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the RRC reconfiguration message may include a conditional handover command (specifically, a conditional handover configuration), and the second SIB may carry, in a conditional handover configuration information element (for example, cho-config.cho-configtoaddmod.cho-RRCReconfig), SIB1 information of the first cell.
It should be noted that, for the second implementation manner (the indication information is the second SIB), the indication information may also be carried in the conditional handover command in any other possible manner, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
The third implementation mode comprises the following steps: the indication information is a threshold of the speed trigger condition.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the moving speed of the UE satisfies the threshold of the speed trigger condition, the UE may switch to the first cell (the cell indicated by the cell identifier corresponding to the indication information).
The threshold at which the moving speed of the UE satisfies the speed triggering condition may be: the moving speed of the UE is greater than or equal to the threshold of the speed trigger condition, or the moving speed of the UE is less than the threshold of the speed trigger condition. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, a high-speed execution condition may be configured in the conditional switch command, where the high-speed execution condition may include a threshold of the speed trigger condition.
It is to be understood that the high-speed execution condition may be a trigger configuration of the condition switching.
Specifically, for the first cell, the conditional handover execution condition (CHO-execution cond) of the first cell may include a threshold of the speed trigger condition.
For example, the high-speed execution condition may be the following format:
CHO-TriggerConfig-r16: ═ SEQUENCE {// conditional switch trigger configuration
cho-event Id CHOICE{
...
cho-eventhSpeed SEQUENCE {// conditional switch high speed event
HighSpeed-Threshold MeasTriggerQuantity,// high speed Threshold
hystersis,// lag time
TimeToTrigger// time to trigger
},...}...,}
It should be noted that, for the third implementation manner (where the indication information is a threshold of the speed trigger condition), the indication information may also be carried in the conditional switch command in any other possible manner, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
Case two: the first information is an RRC reconfiguration message, which may include first SIBs.
The first SIB may be configured to indicate cell types of the M candidate cells.
Optionally, in the second case, the RRC reconfiguration message may carry other system messages (decrypted system information delivery), where the other system messages may include the first SIB.
It should be noted that the first SIB may also be carried in the RRC reconfiguration message in any other possible manner, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first SIB may be at least one of the following: SIB3, SIB4, SIB 5. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.
Wherein, SIB3, SIB4, and SIB5 may all be used to indicate a cell type (high speed cell or non-high speed cell) of a neighbor cell of a current serving cell of the UE.
That is, in the second case, the M candidate cells may be neighbor cells of a current serving cell of the UE.
S203, the UE determines a target cell from the M candidate cells according to the moving state of the UE and the first information.
The target cell may be a cell matched with a moving state of the UE.
S204, the UE is switched to the target cell.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the UE receives the first information, the UE may determine, according to the moving state of the UE and the first information (used to indicate the M candidate cells and the cell type of each candidate cell), a cell (i.e., a target cell) matching the moving state of the UE from the M candidate cells, and switch to the target cell, so as to ensure the communication quality of the UE.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the first information is a conditional handover command, the UE may determine a cell (i.e., the target cell) matching the UE moving state by reading indication information corresponding to each candidate cell of the M candidate cells.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the indication information is cell type indication information, the UE may determine the cell type of each candidate cell in the M candidate cells by reading cell type indication information in a conditional handover configuration, so as to determine a target cell from the M candidate cells.
When the indication information is the second SIB, the UE may determine the cell type of each candidate cell of the M candidate cells by reading a system message in the conditional handover configuration, so as to determine the target cell from the M candidate cells.
When the indication information is the threshold of the speed triggering condition, the UE may determine the cell satisfying the threshold of the speed triggering condition according to the moving speed of the UE, so as to determine the target cell.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, for the threshold whose indication information is the speed trigger condition, after the UE determines the cell whose moving speed of the UE satisfies the threshold of the speed trigger condition, the UE may further evaluate other conditions of the cell (for example, a strength value of the cell, etc.), and if these conditions all satisfy the usage requirement of the UE, the cell may be determined as the target cell and may be handed over to the cell.
In addition, the UE may measure and estimate a moving speed of the UE according to a high speed measurement (high speed measurement) configuration issued by the network device.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the first information is an RRC reconfiguration message, the UE may determine the cell type of each candidate cell in the M candidate cells by reading a system message in the RRC reconfiguration message, so as to determine the target cell from the M candidate cells.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the moving state of the UE is different, the UE may determine the target cell in different manners.
It can be understood that the UE determines the target cell in a different manner when the moving state of the UE is the high speed moving state than when the moving state of the UE is the non-high speed moving state.
The following is an exemplary description of the manner in which the UE determines the target cell in two possible manners (manner one and manner two, respectively).
The first method is as follows: in a case where the moving state of the UE is the high speed moving state, the UE may determine N high speed cells from the M candidate cells and determine a target cell from the N high speed cells according to the first information.
Wherein N is a positive integer less than or equal to M.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the first mode, if the moving state of the UE is a high speed moving state, the UE may determine N high speed cells from the M candidate cells according to the first information, and then determine the target cell from the N high speed cells.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the N high speed cells may be all high speed cells in the M candidate cells.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the UE determines the N high speed cells, the UE may preferentially perform measurement and conditional handover estimation on the N high speed cells, and then determine a high speed cell (i.e., the target cell) satisfying the conditional handover from the N high speed cells, so that the UE may perform the conditional handover and handover to the high speed cell.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the moving state of the UE is the high-speed moving state, the UE resides in the high-speed cell to ensure the communication quality of the UE (avoiding the condition of call drop or radio link failure), so the UE can directly determine N high-speed cells from the M candidate cells and then determine the target cell from the N high-speed cells, thereby saving the operation resources of the UE and enabling the UE to quickly determine the target cell from the M candidate cells.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the moving state of the UE is a high-speed moving state and the M candidate cells are all non-high-speed cells, the UE may send a measurement report to the network device, so as to request the network device to switch to the high-speed cell, and further enable the UE to switch to the high-speed cell in the high-speed moving state.
For example, in the case that the mobility state of the UE is a high speed mobility state, the cell handover method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S205 and S206 described below.
S205, the UE determines whether the M candidate cells comprise high-speed cells according to the first information.
In this embodiment of the present invention, when the mobility state of the UE is a high speed mobility state, the UE may determine whether the M candidate cells include a high speed cell according to the first information, and if the M candidate cells do not include a high speed cell (i.e., the M candidate cells are all non-high speed cells), the UE may execute the following S206 to request the network device to switch to the high speed cell; if the high speed cell is included in the M candidate cells, the UE may be handed over to the high speed cell.
S206, the UE sends a measurement report to the network equipment.
The measurement report may be used to request handover to the high speed cell.
In the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the moving state of the UE is a high-speed moving state and the M candidate cells are all non-high-speed cells, the UE can send the measurement report to the network equipment, so that the network equipment is requested to trigger the UE to be switched to the high-speed cell, and the communication quality of the UE in the high-speed moving state can be ensured.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the network device receives the measurement report, the network device may send a handover command to the UE to instruct the UE to handover to the high-speed cell; or the network device may send a conditional handover command to the UE, where the conditional handover command may include the high speed candidate cell. In this manner, the UE may be handed over to the high speed candidate cell.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the measurement report may include a cell frequency point, where the cell frequency point may be a cell frequency point of a high-speed cell to which the UE requests handover.
In the embodiment of the invention, the UE can carry the cell frequency point of the high-speed cell in the measurement report, thereby clearly informing the network equipment that the UE requests to be switched to the high-speed cell.
It can be understood that the cell indicated by the cell frequency point may be a high-speed cell to which the UE is ideally handed over.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the UE sends the measurement report to the network device, the UE may determine the cell frequency point, and then carry the cell frequency point in the measurement report and report the cell frequency point to the network device, so that the UE may request the network device to switch to the high-speed cell corresponding to the cell frequency point.
For example, before the step S206, the cell handover method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following step S207.
And S207, the UE determines the frequency point of the cell according to the second information.
Wherein the second information may include at least one of: the frequency points of the high-speed cells indicated by the measurement configuration information, the frequency points of the non-high-speed cells indicated by the measurement configuration information and the frequency points of the M candidate cells.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the UE determines that the M candidate cells are all non-high-speed cells, the UE may determine a possible high-speed cell frequency point, that is, determine the cell frequency point, according to the second information.
The second method comprises the following steps: when the moving state of the UE is the non-high speed moving state, the UE may preferentially determine K non-high speed cells from the M candidate cells and determine the target cell from the K non-high speed cells according to the first information.
Wherein K is a positive integer less than or equal to M.
In this embodiment of the present invention, in the second mode, if the moving state of the UE is a non-high speed moving state, the UE may preferentially determine K non-high speed cells from the M candidate cells according to the first information, and then determine a target cell from the K non-high speed cells.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the K non-high speed cells may be all non-high speed cells in the M candidate cells.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the UE determines the K non-high speed cells, the UE may preferentially perform measurement and conditional handover estimation on the K non-high speed cells, and then determine a non-high speed cell (i.e., the target cell) satisfying the conditional handover from the K non-high speed cells, so that the UE may perform the conditional handover and switch to the non-high speed cell.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the moving state of the UE is a non-high-speed moving state, if all of the M candidate cells are high-speed cells, the UE may also select to switch to the high-speed cell.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the moving state of the UE is the non-high speed moving state, since the high speed cell may also satisfy the communication quality of the UE in the non-high speed moving state, the UE may also determine a high speed cell that satisfies the usage requirement from the M candidate cells, and switch to the high speed cell.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a cell switching method, where the first information may be used to indicate M candidate cells and a cell type of each candidate cell in the M candidate cells, so that when a UE performs cell switching (for example, a mobility state of the UE changes), the UE may accurately determine, according to the mobility state of the UE and the received first information, a cell (i.e., a target cell) matching a mobility state of the UE from the M candidate cells, so that the UE may accurately switch to a cell matching the mobility state of the UE, for example, when the mobility state of the UE is a high-speed mobility state, the UE may accurately switch to the high-speed cell, thereby ensuring communication quality of the UE and avoiding a situation where a call drop or a radio link failure occurs in the UE.
