 DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
(Mobile Communication System According to First Embodiment of the Present Invention)
With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a mobile communication system according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the mobile communication system according to the present embodiment is an LTE mobile communication system, and includes a radio base station eNB#1 configured to manage a cell # 1 and a radio base station eNB#2 configured to manage a cell # 2.
A mobile station UE according to the present embodiment is able to cope with “Logged MDT”, and includes a cell reselection unit 11, an acquisition unit 12, an MDT log management unit 13, and a transmission unit 14 as illustrated in FIG. 2.
The cell reselection unit 11 is configured to perform cell reselection and change a standby cell when a predetermined condition is satisfied.
The acquisition unit 12 is configured to acquire predetermined information required for generating a MDT log.
For example, the acquisition unit 12 is configured to acquire, as the predetermined information, “RSRP (Reference signal Received Power)” and “RSRQ (Reference signal Received Quality)”, which are radio quality in a predetermined cell, “Time Stamp”, “Location Information” and the like.
Furthermore, the acquisition unit 12 may be configured to acquire radio quality in a cell (a frequency), which is designated by a radio base station eNB based on “MDT Configuration”, as the radio quality in the predetermined cell.
In addition, the acquisition unit 12 may be configured to acquire the “Location Information” and the radio quality in the predetermined cell at different timings.
Furthermore, when the standby cell is changed by the cell reselection unit 11, the acquisition unit 12 is configured to acquire, as the predetermined information, “E-CGI (E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier)” and “PCI (Physical Cell Identity)”, which are identification information of a changed standby cell, radio quality (RSRP, RSRQ and the like) in the changed standby cell, and the like.
When the mobile station UE is in a standby state (an RRC-Idle state), the MDT log management unit 13 is configured to generate and store a MDT log including the predetermined information acquired by the acquisition unit 12, in a period defined by a “Logged MDT measurement period”.
Furthermore, when the mobile station UE performed the cell reselection, that is, when the standby cell is changed by the cell reselection unit 11, the MDT log management unit 13 is configured to generate and store the MDT log including the predetermined information acquired by the acquisition unit 12.
In such a case, after the time point at which the changed standby cell is initially selected, the MDT log management unit 13 might be configured to generate and store the MDT log in the period defined by the “Logged MDT measurement period”.
The transmission unit 14 is configured to transmit the MDT log stored in the MDT log management unit 13 to a radio base station eNB after the mobile station UE is changed to an active state (an RRC_Connected state).
Furthermore, the transmission unit 14 is configured to transmit the MDT log stored in the MDT log management unit 13 at the request of a radio base station eNB that manages a cell in which the mobile station UE is changed to the active state.
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, an example of the operation of the mobile communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
When the cell # 1 is set as a standby cell, the mobile station UE acquires the aforementioned predetermined information at time points t1, t2, t3, and t4 (in an example of FIG. 3) in the period defined by the “Logged MDT measurement period”, and generates and stores the aforementioned MDT log.
For example, at the time points t1, t2, t3, and t4, the mobile station UE generates and stores a MDT log including radio quality in the cell # 1, “Time Stamp”, and “Location Information”.
Furthermore, at the time t11, the mobile station UE performs cell reselection to change a standby cell from the cell # 1 to the cell # 2, and generates and stores a MDT log including “E-CGI” and “PCI” of the cell # 2, radio quality in the cell # 2, “Time Stamp”, and “Location Information”.
Then, after the time point t11 at which the cell #2 (the changed standby cell) is initially selected, the mobile station UE generates and stores a MDT log in the period defined by the “Logged MDT measurement period”. Furthermore, at the time t11, the mobile station UE may generate and store the MDT log, or may not generate and store the MDT log.
That is, instead of generating and storing the MDT log at times t5, t6, and t7, the mobile station UE may generate and store the MDT log at times t12, t13, and t14.
In accordance with the mobile communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, in the “Logged MDT”, in addition to a MDT log including “Periodic DL Pilot Strength”, since the mobile station UE is configured to generate and store a MDT log including “E-CGI” and “PCI” of a changed standby cell, radio quality in the changed standby cell, “Time Stamp”, and “Location Information” when the standby cell is changed, a communication provider is able to collect information required for realizing “Coverage Optimisation” in the “Logged MDT”.
The characteristics of the present embodiment as described above may be expressed as follows.
A first characteristic of the present embodiment is summarized in that a mobile communication method includes: a step A of generating and storing, by a mobile station UE in a standby state, a MDT log (log information) including predetermined information in a period (a predetermined period) defined by a “Logged MDT measurement period”; a step B of generating and storing, by the mobile station UE, the MDT log when a standby cell is changed; and a step C of transmitting, by the mobile station UE, the stored MDT log to a radio base station eNB after the mobile station UE is changed to an active state.
