Background
In the future, a network will adopt a higher wireless frequency to meet the requirement of a large bandwidth, with the reduction of the coverage area of a single base station node, the switching frequency of a terminal between base stations will become higher, especially for a high mobility terminal, the success rate of switching and the network performance after switching are ensured, the key work of an operator for improving the service quality of the operator is ensured, and the management and optimization of mobility are necessary measures for ensuring the normal and safe operation of a mobile communication network.
The reasons for the problems related to the mobility performance are various, for example, the mobility interruption time of the delay sensitive service is too long, the cell edge coverage is poor, the success rate of the handover is low, the handover fails due to insufficient handover resources, and the problems of early/late/ping-pong handover caused by improper handover parameters are solved. There are different switching mechanisms for different problems. The dual active protocol stack (DuAI Active Protocol Stack, DAPS) can reduce service interruption time during handoff, conditional handoff (ConditionAI Handover, CHO) can improve handoff robustness, random access channel (Random Access Channel, RACH) handoff can reduce handoff delay, and so forth. Mobile robustness optimization (Mobility Robustness Optimization, MRO) is an important component of network self-optimization, and is mainly used for solving the situations of handover failure, radio link failure, ping-pong handover, etc. caused by unreasonable network parameter setting.
The traditional mobility management scheme based on the trial-and-error method is difficult to realize zero-failure switching, and the mode of adjusting mobility based on feedback cannot improve the robustness of switching along with the randomness and the instability of a transmission environment, so that the time delay requirement is met.
