Embodiment
Core of the present invention is to adopt evolution core net Evolved CN and the direct-connected two-tier system mode of evolution base station E-Node B at user's face, and E-Node B directly connects by IP network and Evolved CN.Simultaneously, introduce chain of command server CPS, a CPS has a plurality of E-Node B under its command, that is to say that chain of command also adopts the two-tier system mode.Take into account the characteristic of delay requirement and many cell managements at chain of command, realize under single sub-district and E-Node B resource and the closely-related radio resource management function of characteristic, finish professional functions such as foundation, maintenance and release by E-Node B; Finish and many sub-districts and the closely-related radio resource management function of whole network by the auxiliary E-Node B of CPS, such as, the management of the handoff procedure between E-Node B.

In order to make those skilled in the art person understand the present invention program better, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with drawings and embodiments.
With reference to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the network architecture schematic diagram of wireless communication system of the present invention:
Three kinds of functional entitys are arranged: (1) evolution core net Evolved CN in the wireless communication system architecture of the present invention; (2) chain of command server CPS; (3) evolution base station E-Node B.Wherein, an Evolved CN can have one or more CPS and a plurality of E-Node B under its command, and a CPS can have a plurality of E-Node B under its command.
The present technique field personnel know, the evolution of 3G wireless communication system needs the systems attempt flattening, so that reduce functional node and relevant interface number, and then reduces the time delay that multistage transfer is introduced.So the present invention is in selected Evolved CN of user's face and the direct-connected two-tier system mode of E-Node B, in order to satisfy the strict demand of user plane time delay; Take into account the characteristic of delay requirement and many cell managements simultaneously at chain of command, realize under single sub-district and E-Node B resource and the closely-related radio resource management function of characteristic by E-Node B, and finish the radio resource management function relevant with whole network (for example: the management of the handoff procedure between E-Node B) with many sub-districts by the auxiliary E-Node B of CPS.This distribution process with focus on the RRM mode that combines and can promote the overall performance of RAN (wireless access network) system effectively.
Three entities function separately is as follows:
Evolved CN: it is finished and has the similar function of 3G core net CN now, promptly is responsible for and being connected of other networks and communicating by letter and management to UE (subscriber equipment).
CPS:, when E-Node B need switch, select suitable Target cell and the target E-NodeB that follows for it for its E-Node B that has under its command provides each cell radio resource management information and many cell managements strategy.
E-Node B: Node B basic function (for example in finishing the 3G system, the processing of wave point physical layer protocol) outside, also independently bear the correlation function of E-Node B self RRM, for example: the functions of switching between different districts under resource allocation and integration, admittance management, congestion management, communication link monitoring, data packet dispatching power, control and switching controls, the E-Node B such as control.That is to say that E-Node B not only will independently finish and own resource and the closely-related radio resource management function of characteristic, also will finish and many cell managements and the closely-related radio resource management function of network by the auxiliary of CPS.Secondly, in order to promote the adaptive capacity of RAN (Radio Access Network) system, select by the adaptivity of HARQ (mix automatically and retransmit) technology for encoding and modulation technique between E-Node B and the UE for the wireless channel time-varying characteristics.In order to eliminate the transmission error in data that HARQ leaves over, contain outer retransmission mechanism in the upper-layer protocol of E-Node B.In order to carry out high efficiency RRM, E-Node B also finishes the control that UE is measured.In addition, E-Node B can participate in also that MBMS, network share, functions such as system broadcasts control and KPI parameter extraction.The system broadcasts controlled function also can be finished by Evolved CN.
E-Node B directly connects by IP network and Evolved CN, that is to say, the user's face in the system has only Evolved CN and two nodes of E-Node B.In chain of command, the signaling moiety of self radio resource management function that E-Node B independently bears directly is connected with Evolved CN, finishes professional foundation, maintenance and release function and handover decisions and execution.Simultaneously, the relevant MBMS of E-Node B, network are shared, function relevant informations such as system broadcasts control and KPI parameter extraction are also through interface and EvolvedCN carry out alternately thus.
Connect by the Icn interface between CPS and the E-Node B, E-Node B reports its other resources situation and handles load condition to CPS in real time.E-Node B carries out switch decision and the control of UE according to RRM (RRM) strategy on UE measurement report and CPS local resource situation of safeguarding and the basis of handling information on load.
Icc interface between the CPS is used for auxiliary CPS and finishes the UE switching controls of striding CPS.
Inn interface between the E-Node B is used to and supports the required forward data of harmless switching that data channel is provided, and also setting up for the business in switching simultaneously provides UE Context the transmission channel of (UE context).
In order to realize above-mentioned functions, CPS comprises different functional modules respectively with each E-Node B.Theory diagram with reference to CPS shown in Figure 4 and E-Node B:
In this embodiment, CPS has two E-Node B under its command, and CPS is connected by the Icn interface with E-Node B, connects by the Inn interface between each E-Node B.
CPS comprises many cell managements policy library 401 and cell radio resource information bank 402.
Wherein, many cell managements policy library 401 is used for storage and provides many cell managements strategy to E-Node B; Cell radio resource information bank 402 is used to store the wireless resource information of each sub-district of E-Node B that CPS has under its command.
When needs carry out switching between E-Node B, the measurement message that CPS reports by E-Node B according to UE, it is to be switched UE selected objective target sub-district that the handoff candidate that provides from UE under handoff scenario is concentrated according to the local resource topological data of self grasping.Then by and E-Node B between the Icn interface indicate to source E-Node B by message, use when initiating data link transfer-request for it.
The principle of each E-Node B is identical, comprising: base station wireless resource administration module 411, base station wireless resource information bank 412 and switching controls module 413.Wherein, base station wireless resource administration module 411 is independently finished the management of himself Radio Resource according to the information in the base station wireless resource information bank 412, comprising: to the control of switching between different districts under the distribution and the integration of resource, the control of admitting data re-transmission between management, congestion management, communication link monitoring, data packet dispatching, power control and the user equipment (UE), the E-Node B etc.Information in the base station wireless resource information bank can be configured when system initialization, and the information of different E-Node B configurations can be identical, also can be different.Switching controls module 413 is carried out switch decision and the control of UE according to the wireless resource information of E-Node B of storage, and control UE switches in the Target cell that CPS selects, and UE is set up and being connected of target E-Node B.
Canned data is consistent in the base station wireless resource information bank of each the E-Node B that has under its command with it for canned data in the system wireless resource information bank that makes CPS, base station wireless resource administration module among each E-Node B that CPS has under its command with it need pass through Signalling exchange, the resource information of each the E-Node B that stores in the real-time update synchronized cells wireless resource information storehouse.
When calling out initiation, E-Node B at first carries out UE and admits management process.After admitting successfully,,, and the result of resource allocation/change is reported to CPS for this UE distributes corresponding resource according to the business of its request.In the professional service process, based on QoS (service quality) parameter or the communication link testing result dynamic implementation data packet dispatching and the power control process of business, to guarantee professional service quality.In order to improve reliability of data transmission between E-Node B and the UE, adopt two-layer re-transmission (mixing the automatic repeat requests Outer-ARQ of automatic repeat requests HARQ and outer shroud) mechanism between the two.The resource that has under its command as E-Node B takes place when congested, and E-Node B is responsible for the enforcement that congested measure is conciliate in congested detection.The change result that E-Node B has resource under its command answers real-time report CPS, is convenient to the coordinated scheduling of resource between the adjacent E-Node B administration sub-district.
In this system architecture, CPS by with each E-Node B between interface dynamically receive the relevant process of the Radio Resource result of (comprising processes such as resource allocation/reprovision, resource reservation, resource release), upgrade the resource information of each the E-Node B that stores in the cell radio resource information bank according to this result, and be that unit sets up the Radio Resource upstate that has each sub-district under its command and handles load with the sub-district according to these information.
Under the E-Node B handoff scenario that CPS has under its command, CPS utilizes the related cell Radio Resource availability of being grasped and handles degree of loading, provide effective RRM strategy by many cell managements policy library, utilize the related cell Radio Resource availability of being grasped and handle degree of loading, a preferred Target cell and the E-Node B that follows from the handover candidate cells that UE provides use as target E-Node B and Target cell for switching UE.
At hot zones, this structure is very beneficial for obtaining internal system load balancing and switches high success rate.
When switched the sub-district that UE need stride CPS, auxiliary each CPS provided necessary cell information to E-Node B by the Icc interface between the CPS, finishes switching controls by E-Node B then.
When system realizes, can be according to actual needs, CPS is placed independently on the functional node, also can be placed on any one the E-Node B that has under its command, realize with the basic radio resource management function layering of E-Node B.
As seen, system of the present invention adopts E-Node B and the direct-connected two layers model of Evolved CN at user's face, chain of command adopts the two-tier system pattern of Evolved CN and E-Node B (being aided with CPS), the specific implementation of CPS has certain flexibility simultaneously, and promptly CPS can form independently functional node by framework on E-Node B; The basic radio resource management function layering that also can be combined within the E-Node B with E-Node B realizes.Whole RAN system is based on IP's.Under this framework, realize the radio resource management function relevant with characteristic under single sub-district by E-Node B with E-Node B resource, finish the radio resource management function relevant with whole network and be aided with CPS with many sub-districts by E-Node B, this distribution process with focus on the RRM mode that combines and can effectively promote the overall performance of RAN system.
Describe RRM process below in detail based on system architecture of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 shows the flow process of radio resource management method of the present invention, may further comprise the steps:
Step 501:E-Node B manages and reports to CPS in real time the result of Radio Resource to its Radio Resource, E-Node B comprises the process that its Radio Resource manages: distribute and processes such as reprovision, resource reservation and resource release.
When UE inserted, E-Node B need distribute required Radio Resource to it, and changed or link-quality should its related resource of reprovision when worsening when business.After UE leaves, be released to its assigned radio resource.In these processes, the self radio resource situation information that E-Node B need upgrade in time and oneself preserve, and the result after will upgrading reports CPS by signaling, so that CPS in time understands the resource situation of each E-NodeB, and is consistent with E-Node B canned data.
Step 502:CPS by and its E-Node B that has under its command between interface receive the result of each E-Node B Radio Resource in real time.
Step 503:CPS is that unit sets up the Radio Resource upstate that has each sub-district under its command and handles load with the sub-district according to the result that receives.
Step 504:UE sends measurement report to source E-Node B, and this measurement report comprises candidate cell pilot quality information at least;
Many cell managements strategy that measurement report that step 505:E-Node B basis is received and CPS provide, the handoff procedure between E-Node B is finished in control.
After source E-Node B receives the measurement report of UE, information to CPS request correlation candidate sub-district, CPS is according to the Radio Resource upstate and the processing information on load of each sub-district of many cell managements strategy and foundation, selected target sub-district and the purpose E-Node B that follows, and respond and give source E-Node B, provide simultaneously and switch required many cell managements strategy, switch to Target cell by source E-Node B control UE then, and it is set up and being connected of target E-Node B to source E-Node B.
For this reason, before UE carried out handoff procedure, source E-Node B notification target E-Node B was that UE to be accepted distributes and keep corresponding resource; Target E-Node B is that source E-Node B indicated UE to carry out handoff procedure again after UE to be accepted distributed and keeps corresponding resource and finish; After the UE switching was finished, target E-NodeB indication source E-Node removed original user's face link.
In order to reduce the break period of switching, target E-Node B successfully for after UE distribution to be accepted and keeping corresponding resource, can ask Evolved CN user to carry out the data link conversion in the face of UE.Evolved CN user carries out after data link converts in the face of UE, and the data that Evolved CN user face issues are carried out buffer memory by target E-Node B.
Simultaneously, in order to support harmless the switching, and avoid packet loss to cause the decline of IP application layer throughput, and know target E-Node B successfully for after UE distribution to be accepted and keeping corresponding resource as source E-Node B, the harmless required user grouping of switching is supported in commentaries on classics before target E-Node B.These user grouping comprise: source E-Node B sends to UE but does not receive the user grouping that does not send to UE as yet in user grouping that UE confirms, the source E-Node B buffer memory.
As seen, utilize the ability of the relevant Radio Resource of management self that E-Node B has in the wireless communication system of the present invention, can realize most radio resource management function in the 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), improved the response speed of RAN (wireless access network) system effectively, helped the overall performance of elevator system for the radio link quality fluctuation.
In order to make those skilled in the art person understand the present invention program better, Fig. 6 shows the flow process of the sub-district switching of wireless communication system of the present invention:
1.UE behind the connecting system, regularly carry out cell measurement process and autonomous presynchronization process, and give source E-Node B with measurement report, so-called autonomous presynchronization process is meant that UE does not implement synchronously by the synchronous activationary time of network appointment, but initiatively measure and the synchronization parameter of each adjacent sub-district of demodulation and being stored, use for switching synchronizing process, can accelerate to obtain synchronously.
2. after E-Node B in source receives the measurement result that UE reports, send many cell informations request message, the load of the adjacent sub-district that request is relevant and handle load message to CPS; CPS responds many cell informations response message according to the request of E-Node B, in this message, comprise Radio Resource upstate and the processing laod measurement of CPS according to the candidate cell of source E-Node B request, the suitable Target cell of selecting and and the target E-Node B that follows, and the many cell managements policy information that provides for source E-Node B.
3. E-Node B in source switches according to many cell managements policy information of receiving.
4. E-Node B in source sends handover preparation request (Handover preparation request) message by the Inn interface between the E-Node B to target E-Node B, carry the UE contextual information, in the UE contextual information, comprise and be used for the pre-configured required relevant parameter of computational resource, such as QoS (service quality) parameter.
5. after target E-Node B receives handover preparation request (Handoverpreparation request) message of source E-Node B transmission, distribute and keep corresponding resource for the UE that will admit based on the requests for capacity information in this message.Its objective is UE in case and Target cell obtain synchronously, target E-NodeB can send downlink data to UE immediately, can effectively shorten the break period of data transmissions like this.
6. target E-Node B after UE to be accepted becomes the distribution of work and keeps corresponding resource, sends handover preparation to source E-NodeB and confirms (Handover preparation Confirm) message, and it has finished the assigning process of resource report source E-Node B; Simultaneously,, like this, can make L1 (physical layer) synchronizing process and data path switching process executed in parallel, thereby effectively reduce the break period of switching to Evolved CN transmit path transfer-request (PathSwitch Request) message.
After Evolved CN receives path transfer-request message, implementation path transfer process immediately.After converting, the data that Evolved CN issues are by target E-Node B buffer memory.
7. after E-Node B in source receives that the handover preparation of target E-Node B response is confirmed (Handoverpreparation Confirm) message, send switching command (Handover commit) to UE, indication UE carries out handoff procedure;
Be directed to the scene of not using the autonomous presynchronization technology of UE, need carry the relevant wireless parameter of Target cell in this order, these parameters are known from the receiveing the response of target BS by the pre-configured process of resource, for using in the UE synchronizing process.
8. simultaneously, in order to guarantee to switch the consistency of front and back quality of service, UE Context (UE context) need be sent to target E-Node B by source E-Node B.In order to support harmless the switching, and avoid packet loss to cause the decline (for example TCP (transmission control protocol) is for Slow start (the starting slowly) strategy of alleviating network congestion process startup) of IP application layer throughput, in handoff procedure, source E-Node B need change necessary user grouping before target E-Node B, comprising:
(a) E-Node B in source sends to UE but does not receive the user grouping of the ACK affirmation of UE;
(b) user grouping that does not send as yet in the source E-Node B buffer memory to UE.
9.UE after receiving switching command (Handover commit), implement synchronously and switching: carry out physical layer and switch the shared channel of receiving target sub-district to Target cell.
10.UE after obtaining synchronously with Target cell, respond switching authentic (Handover confirm) message, report that its switching to Target cell finishes to target E-Node B.
11. after target E-Node B receives switching authentic (Handover confirm) message of UE response, send switching to source E-Node B and finish (Handover complete) message, indication source E-Node B removes original user's face link.
So far, the cell switch process under the whole source E-Node B control is finished.
Switch for the sub-district of striding CPS, be CPS according to the boundary information of the topological structure that has the sub-district under its command and in abutting connection with CPS information, the candidate cell that reports with UE by institute in the resource information request message of analyzing source E-Node B identifies just knows candidate cell and E-Node B under the candidate cell and the CPS (target E-Node B and target CPS) that whether has other CPS territories to have under its command.If the candidate cell under other CPS territories is arranged, then source CPS can by and this sub-district under Icc interface between the CPS know the resource information of this sub-district, and then optimize Target cell, and by the resource information request notification source E-Node B of receiveing the response.Under this scene,, then need to implement to stride CPS territory handoff procedure if the selected objective target sub-district belongs to another CPS.
In striding CPS territory switching implementation process, source CPS and target CPS consult to switch required resource and notification source E-Node B, start the switching of UE execution by source E-Node B to Target cell, and by the switching (relevant information that in request message contain target E-Node B) of source E-Node B to CN request corresponding data link.And other such as resource pre-configured with physical layer synchronously and the forward pass process of the metadata cache of E-Node B mechanism necessary data with handoff procedure is identical substantially, do not repeat them here.
By said process as seen, the influence for service feature mainly is a HO-break duration.In the present invention, the parallel processing strategy by to the handoff procedure of data path conversion and Radio Resource can shorten HO-break duration effectively.Simultaneously, the resource reservation mechanism that handoff procedure is introduced in target E-Node B helps shortening HO-break duration equally.And the UE that introduces in the UE side initiatively presynchronization mechanism can effectively shorten time of L1 synchronizing process, it is consuming time further to reduce handoff.
In addition, CPS has the multidate information that the Radio Resource availability of cell-level and relevant E-Node B handle degree of loading, and when carrying out between E-Node B handoff procedure, source E-Node B can optionally use these information and executing Target cell preferred process.Therefore, can in handoff procedure, reduce because complexity and the extra time delay expense that resource information is consulted introducing between service E-Node and candidate's the target E-Node B.Carry out handoff procedure and candidate target E-Node B separately when common factor is arranged when a plurality of UE are concurrent, CPS can demarcate (taking) mechanism by introduce resource in the pre-configured process of resource, the mutual exclusion mechanism in the computer system just, eliminate Target cell selection result and the unmatched situation of resource availability that collision causes safely, further improved the success rate of handoff procedure.
Though described the present invention by embodiment, those of ordinary skills know, the present invention has many distortion and variation and do not break away from spirit of the present invention, wish that appended claim comprises these distortion and variation and do not break away from spirit of the present invention.
