- One or more CSG cells included in one CSG-ID belong to the same TA.
- one or a plurality of CSG cells included in one CSG-ID broadcast the same TAC on broadcast information to a mobile terminal being served thereby.

- the white list carries CSG information of the CSG cell registered by the mobile terminal. Specifically, CSG-ID, TAI (Tracking Area Identity), TAC, etc. can be considered as the CSG information. If CSG-ID and TAC are associated with each other, either one is sufficient. Further, GCI may be used as long as CSG-ID and TAC are associated with GCI (Global Cell Identity).

- FIG. 13 shows a cell conceptual diagram when there are many CSG cells.
- reference numeral 1301 denotes a non-CSG cell by eNB
- 1302 denotes a CSG cell by Home-eNB
- 1303 is a mobile terminal.
- Many CSG cells are required to be installed in condominiums, schools, and companies. The CSG cell is installed in each room in the apartment, in each classroom in the school, and in each section in the company, and a usage method is required so that only the user registered in each CSG cell can use the CSG cell. .
- the CSG cell is assumed to have a portable size and weight, and installation and removal of these CSG cells are required to be performed frequently and flexibly.
- radio waves from many CSG cells are simultaneously transmitted at a certain point. That is, in a condominium, a school, a company, etc., a situation occurs in which the mobile terminal 1303 is in a position where radio waves from many CSG cells can reach, as shown in FIG. In such a situation, there are mobile terminals having a white list and mobile terminals not having a white list. In this situation, consider a case where the mobile terminal performs a cell search.
- FIG. 14 shows an example of a cell search flowchart of a mobile terminal in a position where radio waves from many CSG cells reach.
- the operation described as a general case in FIG. 12 is performed.
- the first synchronization signal P-SS and the second synchronization signal S-SS are synchronized, and PCI (Physical Cell Identity) is detected (identified).
- the RS is detected and the received power of RS is measured.
- the best cell is selected, and PBCH reception and MIB information of the cell selected in ST1404 are obtained.
- ST1405 DL-SCH is received and information on SIB1 is obtained.
- the TAC information of SIB1 is the same as the TAC possessed by the mobile terminal, it shifts to a standby operation. However, if they are not the same, the operation differs from that shown in the general case. As described above, in such a situation, there are mobile terminals having a white list and mobile terminals having no white list. In ST1407, it is determined whether the mobile terminal has a white list. If the mobile terminal has a white list, it is determined in ST 1408 whether the TAC of SIB1 is the same as the CSG-ID (TAC) in the white list. This is because if the CSG-ID (TAC) is not the same, access to the cell is prohibited because it is not registered.
- TAC CSG-ID
- the mobile terminal determines whether the cell is a CSG cell.
- a CSG indicator indicating whether the own cell is a CSG cell is included in SIB1 of broadcast information of each cell. Therefore, the determination in ST1409 can be performed using the CSG indicator included in the information of SIB1 obtained in ST1405.
- the CSG indicator has shown that it is a CSG cell, it transfers to ST1410.
- the mobile terminal stores the PCI of the cell and sets so as to exclude the PCI of the cell at the time of subsequent cell search and selection of the best cell. This is because even if the cell is a CSG cell, it is a CSG-ID (TAC) cell that is not on the white list of the mobile terminal.
- TAC CSG-ID
- an inaccessible PCI list or the like may be provided and written to the list.
- the PCI of an inaccessible CSG cell may be reset or deleted when a timer is provided and the timer period ends and / or when a new CSG-ID is registered. If it is determined in ST1409 that the cell is not a CSG cell, it shifts to a standby operation after TAU because it is a non-CSG cell.
- the mobile terminal makes a transition to ST1409. If it is determined in ST1409 that the cell is not a CSG cell, the process proceeds to a standby operation after TAU. However, if it is a CSG cell, the process of ST1410 is performed in the same manner, and cell search and best cell selection operations are performed again. Do. When cell search and best cell selection are performed again and a CSG cell is found, ST1407, ST1409, and ST1410 are performed again, and cell search and best cell selection are performed again. As shown in FIG.
- a mobile terminal that does not have a white list in this manner performs cell search and best cell selection for all cells even if it is known that a CSG cell cannot be accessed absolutely.
- a mobile terminal in a position where radio waves from many Home-eNBs reach there is a high possibility that many CSG cells are searched and the best cell is selected, and ST1401, ST1402, ST1403, ST1404, ST1405, ST1406,
- ST1407, ST1409, and ST1410 are repeated many times, and it takes a long time to enter the standby operation, resulting in a problem that a large control delay occurs as a system.
- power consumption becomes enormous in a mobile terminal that has to repeat cell search.
- This problem may occur even if the processing of storing the PCI of the CSG cell that cannot be accessed by the mobile terminal in ST1410 and excluding the PCI of the cell at the time of subsequent cell search and selection of the best cell is performed. . This problem becomes a serious problem when the future arrangement situation of CSG cells as described above is assumed.
- PCI split Physical Cell Identity
- PCI split range is fixed, that is, the PCI range assigned to the CSG cell and the PCI range assigned to the non-CSG cell are determined in advance.
- PCI # 0 to # 49 are assigned in advance to CSG cells
- PCI # 50 to # 503 are assigned in advance to non-CSG cells, which are described in the standard.
- the mobile terminal can always recognize this value before performing a cell search, and a mobile terminal that does not have a white list does not needlessly search for a CSG cell during the cell search. It becomes possible.
- the method of predetermining the PCI range to be allocated to the CSG cell and the PCI range to be allocated to the non-CSG cell is not satisfactory for the above-described request to the Home-eNB. That is, the Home-eNB assumes a portable size and weight, and installation and removal of these Home-eNBs are required to be performed frequently and flexibly. Considering this requirement, the number of CSG cells will vary depending on various situations such as operator, frequency layer, installation location, and time. Therefore, predetermining PCI split information causes a problem that it is not possible to cope with the number of CSG cells that change due to flexible and frequent installation and removal of Home-eNBs.
- FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram for reporting PCI split information in an LTE communication system.
- SIB1 As broadcast information received as a minimum necessary for an operation waiting from a cell search. All base stations (Home-eNB (CSG cell) and eNB (non-CSG cell)) put PCI split information into SIB1, and map BCCH including SIB1 to DL-SCH. All base stations each transmit DL-SCH to the mobile terminals (UEs) being served thereby to notify the PCI split information included in SIB1.
- FIG. 16 shows a flowchart of cell search of a mobile terminal in this method.
- the mobile terminal starts cell search.
- ST1601 it is determined whether the mobile terminal has PCI split information. For example, when the power is turned on, if the PCI split information is not yet held, the process proceeds to ST1602.
- the mobile terminal that has proceeded to ST1602 performs the method described in the flowchart shown in FIG. 14 and performs the processes of ST1602 to ST1611.
- the difference from the flowchart shown in FIG. 14 is that a process of receiving PCI split information contained in SIB1 sent via DL-SCH in ST1606 is performed.
- the mobile terminal that has received the PCI split information stores the PCI split information.
- a PCI split information list may be provided and stored in the list together with the PLMN and the frequency layer. The PCI split information stored in the list is rewritten when the broadcast information is corrected.
- the PCI split information stored in the list may be reset or deleted when reselection between frequency layers is performed when power is turned off / on, or when reselection between other systems is performed. If the mobile terminal that has obtained PCI split information in ST1606 proceeds to ST1611, it can use the PCI split information in ST1601 when the next cell search or best cell is selected. The mobile terminal determines in ST1601 that it has PCI split information, and moves to ST1612. It is determined whether the mobile terminal that has moved to ST1612 has a white list. If it has a white list, the process moves to ST1602, and the operations of ST1602 to ST1611 are performed again.
- the mobile terminal that does not have the whitelist moves to ST1613 and performs P-SS and S-SS synchronization using the PCI of the non-CSG cell based on the PCI split information obtained in ST1606 of the first cell search.
- PCI is detected (identified).
- the mobile terminal that has identified the PCI moves to ST1614 and performs the processes of ST1614 to ST1618. This process is the same as that in general cell search. What is important here is that the CSG cell is not searched because PCI is detected (identified) by performing P-SS and S-SS synchronization using the PCI of the non-CSG cell.
- the mobile terminal when a mobile terminal that does not have a white list that has obtained PCI split information during the first cell search after power-on performs cell search again, the mobile terminal has PCI split information.
- the answer is “yes” and the process proceeds to ST1612.
- the mobile terminal that has moved to ST1612 performs the processing of ST1613 to ST1618. Therefore, even in this case, even if it is known that a mobile terminal that does not have a white list that is generated by the method described in the flowchart shown in FIG. 14 cannot access the CSG cell, the operations of ST1602 to ST1611 (except for ST1609) The problem of repeating the process over and over again is solved.
- a mobile terminal that does not have a white list performs a second or subsequent cell search. It is possible to eliminate unnecessary searching for CSG cells. For this reason, it takes a lot of time from the cell search to the start of the standby operation, so that the problem that a large control delay occurs as a system and the problem that the power consumption becomes enormous in the mobile terminal can be solved. Therefore, it will be possible to meet the demands for the installation of a large number of Home-eNBs in the future and the flexible changes in the number of CSG cells caused by frequent and flexible installation and removal of Home-eNBs.
- a mobile communication system can be constructed.
- All cells (non-CSG cells and CSG cells) disclosed in the present embodiment broadcast the PCI split information to the mobile terminals being served by the broadcast information that is received at the minimum necessary for the operation waiting from the cell search.
- a mobile terminal having a white list can selectively search for a CSG cell or a non-CSG cell.
- the CSG cell is preferentially used by using PCI split information obtained by receiving SIB1.
- the operation after ST1612 shown in FIG. 16 may be performed as follows.
- the first synchronization signal P-SS and the second synchronization signal S-SS are synchronized using the PCI of the CSG cell, and the PCI is detected (specified). .
- a reference signal (RS) is detected using the specified PCI, and the received power is measured. Then, the best cell is selected by comparing the measured received power.
- the PBCH of the selected cell is received to receive the MIB, and further the DL-SCH is received to receive SIB1. If the tracking area code (Tracking Area Code TAC) on the SIB1 is the same as that held by the mobile terminal, the operation shifts to the standby operation.
- TAC Track Area Code
- the tracking area code TAC is different, the tracking area code TAC of the SIB1 It is compared whether it is the same as CSG-ID (TAC). If they are the same, the operation shifts to the standby operation. If they are different, the cell search is performed again.

That is, when the CSG-ID of the CSG cell exists in the white list, the cell can be a “suitable cell” as a registered CSG cell. On the contrary, if the CSG-ID of the CSG cell does not exist in the white list, the cell cannot be a “suitable cell” as an unregistered CSG cell.

- Step ST3410 the mobile terminal determines whether there is a cell that can serve as a serving cell in the non-CSG cell based on the measurement result of the reception quality of the neighboring cell (NeighboringborCell). When it exists, it transfers to step ST3411. If it does not exist, the process proceeds to step ST3317 in FIG.

- step ST3402 when the mobile terminal exists in a place where there are many CSG cells not registered by the own mobile terminal, and the reception quality of many unregistered CSG cells is good and the cell can be a serving cell, Appears more prominently. This is because the process from step ST3402 to step ST3409 in FIG. 34 is repeated until there is no cell that can serve as a serving cell in the CSG cell.

- an allowable time from selection of a cell in E-UTRA from detection of a radio link failure, determination of handover failure, determination of integrity failure, or determination of RRC connection reconfiguration failure Timers (eg, T311).
- T311 determination of RRC connection reconfiguration failure Timers
- step ST3310 of FIG. 33 the determination that “timer is ended” is delayed unnecessarily.
- the release of all radio resources (radio resources) performed in step ST3312 of FIG. 33 is delayed unnecessarily. Therefore, there arises a problem of securing unnecessary radio resources.
- the timer value is adapted to a mobile terminal that does not have a CSG-ID in the white list. In that case, since the time required for cell selection is long because the CSG-ID is included in the white list, the above timer is used even though there is still a cell that can be a serving cell in the CSG cell, for example, during cell selection. May time out.
- step ST3310 in FIG. 33 or “timer expired” in step ST3409 in FIG. 34 is too early.
- Non-Patent Document 6 does not suggest this problem. Further, FIG.

- Embodiment 16 FIG. In the sixteenth embodiment, a solution different from the fifteenth embodiment is disclosed for the problem shown in the fifteenth embodiment. Further, in the current cell reselection procedure, even if the reception quality of the serving cell that is a non-CSG cell is good, the following operation can be considered to enable selection of the CSG cell of the neighboring cell. For example, S_intrasearch is set low. Accordingly, even when the reception quality of the serving cell is good, the measurement standard is easily satisfied, and measurement for cell reselection is easily performed. However, when S_intrasearch is lowered as described above, even if all mobile terminals (including mobile terminals that do not have a CSG-ID in the white list) under the serving cell have a good serving cell reception status.
- Measurement criteria are easily satisfied, and measurement for cell reselection is easily performed. In that case, since it is impossible for the mobile terminal (not registered in the CSG cell) to select the CSG cell, useless measurement occurs, which causes a problem of increased power consumption of the mobile terminal.
- the measurement criteria for starting cell reselection are divided into a case where the whitelist has a CSG-ID and a case where the whitelist does not have a CSG-ID. It is disclosed that it is provided and reflected on the mobile terminal.

If CSG-ID is included in the white list or if it is registered in the CSG cell, the mobile terminal makes a transition to step ST4501. If the CSG-ID is not included in the white list or if it is not registered in the CSG cell, the mobile terminal makes a transition to step ST4502.
- Step ST4501 the mobile terminal determines whether or not a measurement criterion for cell reselection applied when the whitelist has a CSG-ID is satisfied. As a specific example, it is determined whether or not the reception quality (for example, Sx) of the serving cell is equal to or less than a threshold value (for example, S_intrasearchCSG) that is applied when the whitelist has a CSG-ID.
- the process proceeds to step ST4205.
- the measurement standard is not satisfied, as a specific example, when Sx> S_intrasearchCSG, the process returns to step ST4501. In this case, you may compare with the threshold value (for example, S_intersearchCSG) of not only the threshold value of whether the measurement standard between the same frequencies is satisfied, but whether the measurement standard between different frequencies is satisfied.
- the mobile terminal determines whether or not a measurement criterion for cell reselection to be applied normally (may be a case where the whitelist does not have CSG-ID) is satisfied.
- the process determines whether or not the reception quality (for example, Sx) of the serving cell is equal to or less than a threshold value (S_intrasearch).
- S_intrasearch a threshold value

- a period (timer) notification method can be used.
- the notification of the metric for initiating cell reselection when the whitelist has the CSG-ID may be simultaneous with or separate from the metric for cell reselection that is normally applied. Absent.
- the present invention is UMTS using HNB using CSG, and HeNB, HNB not using CSG, and a base station with a small radius (also called a pico cell or a macro cell). ) Is also applicable.
- the effect of the sixteenth embodiment is shown below.
- a mobile terminal having a CSG-ID in the white list and a mobile terminal not having a CSG-ID in the white list exist together under the base station.
- a CSG cell is re-established when the reception quality of the serving cell (non-CSG cell) is good by providing a metric for initiating cell reselection, which is applied when the white list has a CSG-ID.
- the mobile terminal performs measurement for cell reselection and is not registered in a CSG cell that does not have a CSG-ID in the white list. Does not perform measurement for cell reselection when the serving cell is in good condition as before. As a result, it is possible to omit the measurement for selecting the CSG cell even when the serving cell that is wasted for the user equipment that cannot reselect the CSG cell due to unregistration in the CSG cell is good. . This can achieve the effect of reducing power consumption of mobile terminals that are not registered in the CSG cell. This effect is an effect of the present invention that cannot be obtained by the technique disclosed in Non-Patent Document 8.
- the solution of the sixteenth embodiment is excellent in that the problem can be solved without using the peripheral cell list.
- CSG cells, HeNBs, and HNBs are assumed to have portable sizes and weights, and it is assumed that installation and removal of these CSG cells and the like are performed frequently and flexibly. Therefore, in the solution using the neighboring cell list, it is necessary to update the neighboring cell list every time the CSG cell, HeNB, HNB, etc. are installed or removed, and it is expected that the neighboring cell list is frequently updated. . Therefore, the solution using the surrounding cell list results in a complicated and complicated mobile communication system.

For this reason, it becomes possible to detect a CSG cell including a hybrid cell quickly. Therefore, a UE having a CSG-ID of the CSG to which the hybrid cell belongs or a UE registered in the CSG can quickly perform cell reselection for the hybrid cell.
- the method disclosed in the above embodiment can also be applied to specific operations.
- cell reselection measurement criteria are provided separately for the case where the whitelist has a CSG-ID and the case where it does not.
- the threshold for cell reselection when CSG-ID is not included in the white list is S_intrasearch
- the threshold for cell reselection when CSG-ID is included in the white list is S_intrasearchCSG.

For this reason, for a hybrid cell, the criteria for cell reselection cannot be made different between a UE of a non-CSG member and a UE of a CSG member. Therefore, in these methods, a problem arises that the CSG member UE cannot stay longer than the non-CSG member UE in the hybrid cell.

If CSG-ID is included in the white list or registered in the CSG cell, Qoffset_csg is subtracted from the measured value in ST4701. When CSG-ID is not included in the white list or when it is not registered in the CSG cell, Qoffset_noncsg is subtracted from the measured value in ST4702.

- Disclosed is a case of applying a method of performing selection so that criteria for cell reselection differ between non-CSG member UEs and CSG member UEs.
- the criteria for cell ranking may be as follows:
- Qmeas, s is the reception quality measurement value of the serving cell
- Qhyst is an offset value for providing hysteresis
- Rs is the calculation result of the reception quality of the serving cell in consideration of the offset.
- the hybrid cell becomes the serving cell. Therefore, in order to make it difficult to reselect a cell from a hybrid cell, a UE having a CSG-ID in the white list or a UE registered in the CSG is included in the measured value of the serving cell during cell ranking at the time of cell reselection. Make a difference between UEs that do not and those that do not. As a specific example, calculation is performed using Qoffset_noncsg and Qoffset_csg when Rs is derived. Thereby, it becomes possible to change the judgment criteria which perform cell reselection from a hybrid cell by both UE.

- Step ST4801 the UE determines whether or not the white list includes a CSG-ID. Alternatively, the UE determines whether or not it is registered in the CSG cell. If the whitelist includes a CSG-ID or if it is registered in a CSG cell, the mobile terminal moves to ST4802. In ST4802, the UE subtracts Qoffset_csg from the measured value.
- the mobile terminal moves to ST4803.
- the UE subtracts Qoffset_noncsg from the measured value. Based on these subtracted results, in ST4102, it is determined whether or not the measurement criteria for cell reselection are satisfied. By doing so, it is possible to make different judgment criteria for reselecting a cell between a UE having a CSG-ID in the white list or a UE registered in the CSG and a UE that is not.

- the calculation result considering these offsets for the serving cell that is a hybrid cell is the result of the UE having the CSG-ID in the whitelist or the UE registered in the CSG than the UE that is not so. Also gets higher. Therefore, a UE having a CSG-ID in the white list or a UE registered in the CSG can be more likely to select a serving cell than a UE that does not.
- the CSG member UE By making the cell ranking criteria as described above, in a hybrid cell, it becomes possible for the CSG member UE to re-select the cell later than the non-CSG member UE, and the CSG member UE becomes a non-CSG member.

- Step ST4201 the UE judges whether or not CSG-ID is included in the white list. Alternatively, the UE determines whether or not it is registered in the CSG cell. If the whitelist includes a CSG-ID or if it is registered in the CSG cell, ST4701 is executed. In Step ST4701, the UE subtracts Qoffset_samecsg from the measured value when the measured CSG-ID of the neighboring cell is the same as that of the serving cell.

- Embodiment 22 In order to allow CSG members to receive services such as high-speed communication and preferential billing plans for CSG members faster and longer in hybrid cells, CSG member UEs stay longer than non-CSG member UEs in hybrid cells. Is required.
- FIG. 49 shows a conceptual diagram when a CSG member UE stays longer than a non-CSG member UE in a hybrid cell.
- reference numeral 4901 denotes a non-CSG cell, here a macro cell (eNB).
- 4902 shows the coverage by the non-CSG cell 4901.
- 4903 is a hybrid access mode HeNB, that is, a hybrid cell.
- Reference numeral 4904 denotes coverage that can be accessed in the open access mode and the closed access mode in the hybrid cell 4903.
- Reference numeral 4905 denotes coverage that can be accessed only in the closed access mode in the hybrid cell 4903.
- 4906 is a UE of the same CSG member as the CSG to which the hybrid cell 4903 belongs.
- CSG member UE 4906 communicates with non-CSG cell 4901 outside the coverage 4905 area, and UE 4906 that has moved to the coverage 4905 area communicates with hybrid cell 4903 by cell reselection.
- the non-CSG member UE 4907 is still communicating with the non-CSG cell 4901 even in the area of the coverage 4905, and can communicate with the hybrid cell 4903 only after moving to the coverage 4904 by cell reselection.
- the coverage only in the closed access mode is wider than the coverage in the open access mode. It may become.
- the initial transmission power of the UE when starting uplink communication in the hybrid cell is the same between the UE of the CSG member and the UE of the non-CSG member, the coverage that the UE of the CSG member can access is better. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the uplink transmission of the UE of the CSG member will fail at the coverage end.
- RA random access
- PRACH is used as a physical channel.
- a RACH preamble is used for initial transmission of the PRACH.
- the initial transmission power Pprach of PRACH is determined as follows (Non-patent Documents 13 and 14).
- Pprach min ⁇ Pcmax, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER + PL ⁇ _ [dBm]
- Pcmax min ⁇ Pemax, Pumax ⁇
- PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is the target received power of the base station
- PL is the path loss
- Pemax is the maximum allowable power set for each cell
- Pumax is the maximum transmission power of the UE.
- Pemax is notified to UEs being served as broadcast information from each cell, and is the maximum allowable power common to all UEs being served.
- Pumax is predetermined according to the power class of each UE.
- the initial transmission power Pprach of the PRACH As can be seen from the derivation formula for the initial transmission power Pprach of the PRACH, for example, when the PL is large, the initial transmission power is limited by Pcmax. Since Pcmax is also limited by Pemax, the initial transmission power of PRACH is limited by Pemax. Since Pemax is common to all UEs being served by the cell, the hybrid cell has the same value for both the CSG member UE and the non-CSG member UE. Therefore, when the PRACH initial transmission power is limited by Pemax, for example, when the PL is large, the CSG member UE and the non-CSG member UE can transmit only to a common Pemax. For this reason, in the hybrid cell, when the accessible coverage of the CSG member UE is wider than that of the non-CSG member UE, the uplink transmission of the CSG member UE is likely to fail. End up.
- the initial transmission power of the UE when starting uplink communication can be made different between the UE of the CSG member and the UE of the non-CSG member.
- the maximum allowable power used in deriving the PRACH initial transmission power in the hybrid cell is defined as CSG. It is provided separately for the member UE and the non-CSG member UE.
- the maximum allowable power for the CSG member is Pemax_csg

- Pprach min ⁇ Pcmax, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER + PL ⁇ _ [dBm]
- Pcmax min ⁇ Pemax_csg, Pumax ⁇
- Pcmax min ⁇ Pemax_noncsg, Pumax ⁇ .
- the initial transmission power Pprach in the hybrid cell can have different maximum allowable powers between the UE of the CSG member and the UE of the non-CSG member even if the PL is large.
- Pemax_csg is set larger than Pemax_noncsg to reduce uplink transmission failure of the CSG member UE. It becomes possible to do.
- the method of deriving the uplink initial transmission power in the hybrid cell disclosed here can be applied when uplink communication is started in the hybrid cell when the CSG member UE reselects the cell to the hybrid cell in the RRC_Idle state. Further, in the state of RRC_Connected, the present invention can be applied when uplink communication is started in the hybrid cell serving as the target cell when the CSG member UE executes HO to the hybrid cell.
- a method for notifying the UE of the maximum allowable power used in the hybrid cell is disclosed below.
- notification is made from the cell for setting these maximum allowable powers to UEs being served by PBCH or PDSCH using BCCH as broadcast information.
- Notification is made on the PBCH using the master information (MIB) or on the PDSCH using the system information (SIB). Since the MIB is mapped to the PBCH, the method using the MIB is excellent in that the mobile terminal can receive with less control delay.
- SIB it notifies using SIB1.
- MIB or SIB1 is excellent in terms of reducing the control delay of the mobile terminal in that it is the minimum necessary amount of broadcast information received from the start of cell search to the standby state (RRC-Idle state). Is the method.
- RRC-Idle state standby state
- the serving cell individually notifies the UE performing HO. Notification may be included in the information of the target cell necessary for performing HO to the UE, or may be notified using another message. Since the notification is included in the target cell information, the number of necessary messages can be reduced, so that the time until HO is completed can be reduced. On the other hand, when the notification is made using another message, the message can be notified only in the case of a cell that requires the setting of the maximum allowable power. In this case, it is possible to reduce the amount of information necessary for notification and the number of messages.
- the hybrid cell may determine the maximum allowable power (Pemax_csg) value for the CSG member and the maximum allowable power (Pemax_noncsg) value for the non-CSG member, or may be determined by the network side (MME, HeNBGW, etc.). .
- the maximum allowable power is notified in advance from the network side to the hybrid cell. This notification can be performed using the hybrid cell and the interface S1 on the network side.
- determining on the network side it becomes possible to set a value based on the radio wave environment and load conditions (for example, the number of connected terminals) of the surrounding cells. As a system, it becomes possible to reduce the situation where communication is impossible, connection delay due to communication error, increase in signaling amount, concentration of load, and the like.
- the maximum allowable power for the CSG member is Pemax_csg
- the maximum allowable power for the non-CSG member is Pemax_noncsg.
- a maximum allowable power (Pemax_common) common to the CSG member and the non-CSG member may be provided
- a difference (Pemax_delta) of the maximum allowable power between the CSG member and the non-CSG member may be provided.
- Pprach min ⁇ Pcmax, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER + PL ⁇ _ [dBm]
- Pcmax min ⁇ Pemax_common + Pemax_delta, Pumax ⁇
- Pcmax min ⁇ Pemax_common, Pumax ⁇ .
- Pemax set as the conventional maximum allowable power may be set as a common parameter Pemax_common.
- Pumax may be provided separately for CSG members and non-CSG members.
- Pumax is the maximum transmission power of the UE, and is determined in advance according to the power class of each UE.
- the CSG member (Pumax_csg) and non-CSG member (Pumax_noncsg) may be determined in advance according to the power class of each UE.
- An example of a derivation formula for the initial transmission power Pprach in the hybrid cell in this case is shown below.
- Pprach min ⁇ Pcmax, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER + PL ⁇ _ [dBm]
- Pcmax min ⁇ Pemax, Pumax_csg ⁇
- Pcmax min ⁇ Pemax, Pumax_noncsg ⁇ . In this way, Pemax can be set to be common to all UEs being served by the cell, and therefore, the same setting as the conventional setting is sufficient.
- the static value refers to a value known to a mobile terminal / base station as a mobile communication system, or a known value described in a standard document.
- a static value By using a static value, no radio signal is generated between the base station (network side) and the mobile terminal. Therefore, an effect can be obtained in terms of effective use of radio resources. Furthermore, since it is a statically determined value, it is possible to obtain the effect of preventing the occurrence of radio signal reception errors.

Abstract
Description
基地局102は、MME103(Mobility Management Entity)から通知されるページング信号(Paging Signaling、ページングメッセージ(paging messages)とも称される)のスケジューリング(Scheduling)及び送信を行う。基地局102はX2インタフェースにより、お互いに接続される。また基地局102は、S1インタフェースによりEPC(Evolved Packet Core)に接続される、より明確にはS1_MMEインタフェースによりMME103(Mobility Management Entity)に接続され、S1_UインタフェースによりS-GW104(Serving Gateway)に接続される。MME103は、複数あるいは単数の基地局102へのページング信号の分配を行う。また、MME103は待受け状態(Idle State)のモビリティ制御(Mobility control)を行う。MME103は移動端末が待ち受け状態及び、アクティブ状態(Active State)の際に、トラッキングエリア(Tracking Area)リストの管理を行う。S-GW104はひとつまたは複数の基地局102とユーザデータの送受信を行う。S-GW104は基地局間のハンドオーバの際、ローカルな移動性のアンカーポイント(Mobility Anchor Point)となる。更にP-GW(PDN Gateway)が存在し、ユーザ毎のパケットフィルタリングやUE-IDアドレスの割当などを行う。
CSG-IDはCSGセルかセルによって報知される。移動体通信システムにCSG-IDは複数存在する。そして、CSG-IDは、CSG関連のメンバーのアクセスを容易にするために端末(UE)によって使用される。CSGセルあるいはセルによって報知される情報をCSG-IDの代わりにトラッキングエリアコード(Tracking Area Code TAC)にすることが3GPP会合において議論されている。移動端末の位置追跡は、1つ以上のセルからなる区域を単位に行われる。位置追跡は、通信をしていない状態(待受け状態)であっても移動端末の位置を追跡し、呼び出す(移動端末が着呼する)ことを可能にするためである。この移動端末の位置追跡のための区域をトラッキングエリアとよぶ。CSGホワイトリスト(CSG White List)とは、加入者が属するCSGセルのすべてのCSG IDが記録されている、USIMに格納されたリストである。移動端末内のホワイトリストは上位レイヤによって与えられる。これによりCSGセルの基地局は移動端末に無線リソースの割り当てを行う。
このような状況においては、移動端末はnon-CSGセルからの電波は届かず、数多くのCSGセルからの電波が届くような場所に存在するようになる。また、このような場合に、電波伝搬環境によっては、ユーザアクセス登録したCSGセルからの電波が移動端末に届かなかったり、届いたとしても他のCSGセルよりも受信電力が弱かったりする場合が多発する。
図7は、現在3GPPにおいて議論されているLTE方式の移動体通信システムの全体的な構成を示すブロック図である。現在3GPPにおいては、CSG(Closed Subscriber Group)セル(e-UTRANのHome-eNodeB(Home-eNB,HeNB),UTRANのHome-NB(HNB))とnon-CSGセル(e-UTRANのeNodeB(eNB)、UTRANのNodeB(NB)、GERANのBSS)とを含めたシステムの全体的な構成が検討されており、e-UTRANについては、図7の(a)や(b)のような構成が提案されている(非特許文献1、非特許文献3)。図7(a)について説明する。移動端末(UE)71は基地局72と送受信を行う。基地局72はeNB(non-CSGセル)72-1と、Home-eNB(CSGセル)72-2とに分類される。
eNB72-1はMME73とインタフェースS1により接続され、eNBとMMEとの間で制御情報が通信される。ひとつのeNBに対して複数のMMEが接続される。Home-eNB72-2はMME73とインタフェースS1により接続され、Home-eNBとMMEとの間で制御情報が通信される。ひとつのMMEに対して複数のHome-eNBが接続される。
図13に多くのCSGセルが存在する場合のセル概念図を示す。図中、1301はeNBによるnon-CSGセル、1302はHome-eNBによるCSGセルを示す。1303は移動端末である。CSGセルは、マンションや学校、会社などへ数多く設置されることが要求される。マンションでは各部屋ごと、学校では各教室ごと、会社では各セクション毎にCSGセルを設置し、各CSGセルに登録したユーザのみが該CSGセルを使用可能とするような使用方法が要求されている。さらには、CSGセルは可搬なサイズ、重量を想定しており、これらCSGセルの設置や撤去は頻繁にかつ柔軟に行われることも要求される。このような要求を考慮すると、ある地点においては同時に多数のCSGセルからの電波が送信されることになる。つまり、マンションや学校、会社などでは、図13に示すような、移動端末1303が多数のCSGセルからの電波が届く位置にいる状況が発生する。そしてこのような状況では、ホワイトリストを有する移動端末と、ホワイトリストを有しない移動端末が存在することになる。この状況において、移動端末がセルサーチを行った場合を考える。
実施の形態1では、全てのセル(non-CSGセルとCSGセル)がPCI(Physical Cell Identity)スプリット情報をセルサーチから待受けの動作に必要最小限受信する報知情報にのせて傘下の移動端末に報知する方法を開示した。該PCIスプリット情報は自セルが属する周波数レイヤのPCIスプリット情報とした。本実施の形態2では、全ての基地局(eNBとHome-eNB)が他周波数レイアのPCIスプリット情報を報知情報として傘下の移動端末に報知する方法を開示する。図18に、LTE方式の通信システムにおける、他周波数レイヤのPCIスプリット情報を報知するシーケンス図を示す。全基地局(Home-eNBとeNB)は、自セルが属する周波数レイヤとは異なる他の周波数レイヤのPCIスプリット情報を報知情報(BCCH)に含める。そして全基地局は傘下の移動端末(UE)に対して、該報知情報を通知する。従って傘下の移動端末は、サービングセルからの報知情報で他周波数レイヤのPCIスプリット情報を得ることが可能となる。このため、移動端末は、セルサーチ、セル選択、セル再選択、ハンドオーバなどの処理のように、他周波数レイヤに関する処理を必要としたときに、該他周波数レイヤのPCIスプリット情報を使用することが可能となる。他周波数レイヤのPCIスプリット情報を使用できるため、例えば周波数レイヤ間のセルサーチ、セル選択を行うときに、その動作の1回目のセルサーチ、セル選択から所望の周波数レイヤのPCIスプリット情報を使用することが可能となる。ホワイトリストを有しない移動端末が、セルサーチを行う際にアクセスが不可能であるCSGセルをサーチすることをなくすことが可能となる。このため、他周波数レイヤへのセルサーチから待ち受け動作に入るまでに、多大な時間がかかってしまい、システムとして大きな制御遅延が発生するという問題や、移動端末において消費電力が膨大になってしまうという問題を解消できる。従って、将来の多大な数のHome-eNBの設置の要求や、Home-eNBの設置や撤去が頻繁にかつ柔軟に行われることによって生じるCSGセル数の柔軟な変更への対応の要求にこたえられる移動体通信システムを構築することが可能となる。他周波数レイヤは一つであっても良いし、一つ以上であっても良い。その場合、移動端末はPCIスプリット情報、該周波数の優先順位等を対にして記憶(例えばリストとして記憶しても良い)しておくと良い。
将来の多大な数のCSG(Closed Subscriber Group)セルの設置の要求や、CSGセルの設置や撤去が頻繁にかつ柔軟に行われることによって生じるCSGセル数の柔軟な変更への対応の要求にこたえられる移動体通信システムを構築するため、実施の形態1および2では、PCIスプリット情報の送受信の方法について開示した。本実施の形態では、多大な数のCSGセルの設置や、CSGセルの設置や撤去が頻繁にかつ柔軟に行われることによって生じる、ホワイトリストの運用における問題点を示し、その問題点を解消する方法について開示する。
アクセス許可設定要求を受信した該Home-eNBは、ST2003で、該移動端末からのアクセスを許可する設定を行う。次に、ST2004でネットワークオペレータは、コアネットワークから該Home-eNBが存在しているnon-CSGセルのeNBにホワイトリストを送信する。ST2005でホワイトリストを受信したeNBは、該移動端末に対してホワイトリストを通知する。ST2006でホワイトリストを通知された該移動端末は自移動端末内に該ホワイトリストを記憶する。具体的にはSIM/USIM(メモリ、CPUなどの記憶装置であっても良い)に記憶されることが提案されている。
アクセス許可設定要求を受信した該CSGセルは、ST2203で、該移動端末からのアクセスを許可する設定を行う。
このため、該移動端末が、ユーザアクセス登録した該CSGセルのCSG-IDに属するCSGセルに対してのみ、従来できなかったRRCコネクションの設立さらにはTAU(Tracking Area Update)の要求を行えるようにしておけば、手動検索により該移動端末が該CSGセルにアクセスでき、ホワイトリストを入手することが可能となる。
将来の、多大な数のCSGセルの設置や、CSGセルの設置や撤去が頻繁にかつ柔軟に行われる場合、実施の形態3に開示した方法だけではホワイトリストを入手することができなくなる場合が生じてしまう。図23に移動端末がnon-CSGセルの傘下ではなく、多数のCSGセルの傘下に居る場合を示す。図に示すような状況は、将来、マンションや学校、会社などへCSGセルが数多く設置された場合に生じる場合がある。CSGセルの運用方法として、このようなnon-CSGセルからの電波がとどかない場所への設置を推進し、CSGセルを介して通信可能とすることが検討されている。
従って、ST2406で移動端末はユーザアクセス登録したCSGセル(ここではHome-eNB(C))ではないCSGセル(ここではHome-eNB(A))に対してRRCコネクションの要求を送信し、このRRCコネクションの設立要求を受信したHome-eNB(A)はこの設立要求に対する設立許可を移動端末に送信することで、移動端末とHome-eNB(A)間でRRCコネクションを設立するようにしておく。次にST2407、ST2408で移動端末はTAU要求メッセージを、ユーザアクセス登録したCSGセルではないCSGセル(Home-eNB(A))を介してコアネットワークへ送信できるようにしておく。ここで移動端末は移動端末識別番号も送信する。該移動端末識別番号はTAU要求メッセージに含めても良いし、TAU要求メッセージと一緒にしても良いし、別のメッセージとして送信しても良い。また、ユーザアクセス登録したCSGセルではないCSGセルが、手動検索の起動時と他の場合とを区別することが可能となるように、移動端末からのRRCコネクション要求メッセージ、TAU要求メッセージに、手動検索起動時である旨の情報を含めるようにしても良い。これによって、ユーザアクセス登録したCSGセルではないCSGセルが、手動検索起動時に限定して、該移動端末との間のRRCコネクションの設立、該移動端末からのTAU要求メッセージの受信、コアネットワークへの送信などの一連のメッセージの送受信を可能とすることができる。
実施の形態4で開示した方法を行うことによって、移動端末がユーザアクセス登録したCSGセルをセル選択できなくなってしまう状況下でホワイトリストを入手することが不可能となってしまうという問題を解消することは可能となる。本実施の形態ではさらに多数のユーザアクセス登録していないCSG-IDに属するCSGセルが存在するような場合にも効果的な通信を可能とする方法を開示する。
該移動端末のホワイトリストを受信したHome-eNB(A)は、ST2511で、該移動端末に対してホワイトリストを送信する。ST5212でホワイトリストを送信された該移動端末は自移動端末内に該ホワイトリストを記憶する。ST2510でHome-eNB(A)に対して該移動端末のホワイトリストを送信したコアネットワークは、ST2513、ST2514で、Home-eNB(A)を介して該TAU要求に対するTAUリジェクトメッセージを該移動端末に送信する。TAUリジェクトメッセージを受信した移動端末は、ST2515でHome-eNB(A)との間でRRCコネクションを開放する。
さらには、TAU要求メッセージに対してTAUリジェクトメッセージの送受信を行うことになるため、従来のTAU要求およびリジェクト方法との互換性が向上するという効果が得られる。
実施の形態5であげた問題点を解消するため、本実施の形態においては、移動端末が同一のセルからn回(n≧1の整数)連続でTAUリジェクトメッセージを受信した場合、該移動端末は該セルへのRRCコネクションの設立、TAU要求メッセージの送信を禁止する方法を開示する。
該リスト内に記憶されたセルの場合はRRCコネクションの設立を禁止する。ここで、該リストにCSG-IDやTACであっても良く、さらに該CSG-IDやTACが該セル識別番号と関連付けられて記憶されても良い。このようにすることで、次に、セルサーチ、セル選択により今後再度Home-eNB(A)が選択された場合に、該移動端末はHome-eNB(A)にRRCコネクション設立を行わないようにできる。ST2713まででホワイトリストを入手できなかった該移動端末は、ST2714で新たにセルサーチ、セル選択を行う。
実施の形態5であげた問題点を解消するため、本実施の形態においては、コアネットワークが、同一の移動端末に対してn回(n≧1の整数)TAUリジェクトメッセージを連続して送信する場合、コアネットワークはn回目のTAUリジェクトメッセージを送信する前にホワイトリストの送信を行う方法を開示する。
上記説明の実施の形態4~7では、移動端末がユーザアクセス登録していないCSG-IDに属するCSGセルとの間でRRCコネクションの設立を行い、コアネットワークが移動端末へ送信するTAUリジェクトメッセージを利用した方法を開示した。しかし、これらの場合いずれも、移動端末と、移動端末がユーザアクセス登録していないCSG-IDに属するCSGセルとの間でRRCコネクションの設立を行う必要があり、さらには、移動端末とコアネットワークとの間でTAU要求などのNASメッセージの送受信を行う必要があった。
上記説明の実施の形態3から実施の形態7において、CSGセルにユーザアクセス登録した移動端末は、ホワイトリストをコアネットワークから入手するため、コアネットワークに対してTAU要求を送信することになる。移動端末からTAU要求を送信されたコアネットワークは、該移動端末の識別番号を使用してCSG-ID(TAC)のチェックを行い、該移動端末に対してホワイトリストの送信を行うことを説明した。
実施の形態4から実施の形態7において、CSGセルにユーザアクセス登録した移動端末は、ホワイトリストをコアネットワーク(CN)から入手するため、CSGセルを介してコアネットワークに対してTAU要求を送信することになる。移動端末からTAU要求を送信されたコアネットワークは、該移動端末の識別番号を使用してCSG-ID(TAC)のチェックを行い、該CSGセルへのアクセスが不可能と判定した場合は、該移動端末に対して該CSGセルを介して、TAUリジェクトメッセージを送信することを説明した。一方、該移動端末がコアネットワークより該CSGセルを介して受信したTAUリジェクトメッセージに応じて次につづく動作を決定する方法についても説明した。このような場合において、移動端末は、CSGセルを介して受信したTAUリジェクトメッセージがホワイトリストの登録(更新)要求のためのTAU要求に対してであったかどうかを知っておいたほうが良く、知らないと、他の理由で送信されたTAUリジェクトメッセージも考慮してしまうので、効率の悪い動作を引き起こしてしまう。
ホワイトリストの登録や変更の際に、コアネットワークから送信されるホワイトリスト内容を移動端末が誤って受信してしまう場合があることを記載した。このような場合、多数のCSGセルが存在する状況において、誤って受信したホワイトリストのCSG-IDに属するCSGセルをセル選択してしまう場合が生じ、移動端末は、誤ったホワイトリストのCSG-IDに属する該CSGセルへ何度もRRCコネクションの設立や、CSGセルを介してコアネットワークへTAUの要求を繰り返してしまうことになる。従って、システムとして、無線リソースの使用効率やシグナリング効率の極端な低下が引き起こされてしまうという問題が生じる。さらに、セルサーチから待ち受け動作に入るまでに、多大な時間がかかってしまい、システムとして大きな制御遅延が発生するという問題や、移動端末において消費電力が膨大になってしまうという問題も生じてしまう。
非特許文献6にRRC接続再設立(RRC(Radio Resource Control) connection re-establishment)のLTE移動体通信システムとしての手順が開示されている。図33に開示されているRRC接続再設立にかかる移動端末としての処理の流れを示す。ステップST3301にて移動端末は、無線リンク失敗(Radio link failure)を検出したか否かを判断する。結果、無線リンク失敗を検出した場合はステップST3305へ移行し、検出しなかった場合はステップST3302へ移行する。ステップST3302にて移動端末は、ハンドオーバ失敗(Handover failure)したか否かを判断する。結果、ハンドオーバ失敗した場合はステップST3305へ移行し、失敗しなかった場合はステップST3303へ移行する。ステップST3303にて移動端末は、インテグリティ失敗(Integrity failure)がより低いレイヤより指示が存在するか否か判断する。結果、インテグリティ失敗の指示があればステップST3305へ移行し、指示がなければステップST3304へ移行する。ステップST3304にて移動端末は、RRC接続再設定失敗(RRC connection reconfiguration failure)したか否かを判断する。結果、RRC接続再設定失敗した場合はステップST3305へ移行し、失敗しなかった場合はステップST3301へ移行する。ステップST3301へ戻った移動端末は、ステップST3301、ステップST3302、ステップST3303、ステップST3304の処理を繰り返す。 また、ステップST3301、ステップST3302、ステップST3303、ステップST3304の処理の順序は任意であり、さらには同時であっても構わない。
結果、タイマが終了(タイムアウト、タイマが完了、タイマが有効期限切れ)していればステップST3311へ移行し、終了していなければステップST3314へ移行する。
ステップST3311にて移動端末は、MACと設定されている全ての無線ベアラのRLCの再設定をリセットし、ステップST3312へ移行する。ステップST3312にて移動端末は、全ての無線リソース(Radio resources)を開放し、ステップST3313へ移行する。ステップST3313にて移動端末は、RRC_IDLE状態へ遷移する。
ステップST3314にて移動端末は、セル選択手順(cell selection process)、あるいは、セル再選択手順(cell reselection process)ともいう、によりE-UTRAセルを選択したか否かを判断する。結果、E-UTRAセルを選択した場合ステップST3315へ移行し、E-UTRAセルを選択しない場合ステップST3317へ移行する。ステップST3315にて移動端末は、タイマT311をストップさせ、ステップST3316へ移行する。ステップST3316にて移動端末は、ネットワーク側へRRC接続再設立要求メッセージ(RRC connection Reestablishment request message)を送信する。
ステップST3317にて移動端末は、セル選択手順により異無線アクセス技術セル(inter-RAT(Radio Access Technology Cell)を選択したか否かを判断する。結果、inter-RATセルを選択した場合ステップST3311へ移行し、inter-RATセルを選択しない場合は、ステップST3310へ移行する。ステップST3310へ戻った移動端末は、ステップST3310、ステップST3314、ステップST3317の処理を繰り返す。
MIBを用いる場合は、MIBはPBCHにマッピングされることから、移動端末が制御遅延を少なく受信可能という点で優れた方法である。SIBを用いる場合は、SIB1を用いて通知する。MIBあるいはSIB1はセルサーチから待ちうけの動作に必要最小限受信する報知情報である点において、移動端末の制御遅延を少なくする点において優れた方法である。また、移動端末のタイマと定数の情報要素(UE-Timer And Constansts information element)の一部として、システム情報ブロックタイプ2(System Information BlockType2: SIB2)にマッピングされ、BCCHを用いてPDSCHにて通知する。更にはサービングセルがCSGセルかnon-CSGセルかに関わらず、ホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有する場合に用いるタイマ(例えばT311_ホワイトリスト有)、ホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有さない場合に用いるタイマ(例えばT311_ホワイトリスト無)ともにサービングセル(ネットワーク側)が移動端末に移動端末のタイマと定数の情報要素(UE-Timer and Constansts information element)の一部として、システム情報ブロックタイプ2(System Information BlockType2: SIB2)にマッピングされ、BCCHを用いてPDSCHにて通知する。SIB2を用いる場合は、タイマという観点にて同様(同じ種類)のパラメータと同時に通知することができ、受信した移動端末の処理が容易である点において優れた方法である。更にはSIB1、SIB2以外のシステム情報で通知する方法であっても報知情報であるので、傘下の全移動端末に対して通知可能であり、無線リソースの有効活用という点において優れた方法である。第1の方法にて移動端末は、サービングセルのBCCH、あるいはDCCHを受信するのみで異なるタイマを入手できるため、制御遅延防止という効果を得ることができる。
図36のステップST3502にて移動端末は、T311にT311_ホワイトリスト有(CSGセル(サービングセル)から受信したT311)をセットする。図36のステップST3503にて移動端末は、T311にT311_ホワイトリスト無(non-CSGセル(サービングセル)から受信したT311)をセットする。図37のステップST3701にて移動端末は、T311にホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有する場合に用いるタイマ(例えばT311_ホワイトリスト有)がセットされているか否か判断する。
T311_ホワイトリスト有がセットされている場合、ステップST3407へ移行する。T311_ホワイトリスト有がセットされていない場合、ステップST3702へ移行する。
上記第2の方法ではPDSCH上のBCCHにマッピングされているシステム情報にてホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有する場合に用いるタイマ(例えばT311_ホワイトリスト有)を通知する方法について具体的に説明した。第2の通知方法の場合も具体例は第1の通知方法と同じく個別制御チャネル、報知制御チャネル(MIB、SIB)を用いることが出来る。
非特許文献7にLTE移動体通信システムにて異なるE-UTARAN周波数、あるいはInter-RAT周波数の優先順位が、システム情報(System information)とRRCメッセージでネットワーク側からUEへ提供されることが開示されている。ネットワーク側から移動端末に対して、個別シグナリング(Dedicated signalling)経由で優先順位が割り当てられている場合、移動端末は、システム情報が提供する全ての優先順位を無視する。非特許文献6に以下のことが記載されている。RRC接続開放メッセージ(RRC Connection Release message)にアイドルモード移動性制御情報(idlemode Mobility Control Info)が含まれており、アイドルモード移動性制御情報にセル再選択優先順位満了タイマ(cell Reselection Priority Expiry Timer)(例えばT320)が含まれていた場合、移動体通信システムとして以下の動作を行う。図38に開示されている移動端末としての処理の流れを示す。ステップST3801にて移動端末は、基地局から送信されるシステム情報にて異なるE-UTRAN周波数、あるいはInter-RAT周波数の優先順位を受信し、ステップST3802へ移行する。ステップST3802にて移動端末は、基地局から送信される個別信号にて異なるE-UTRAN周波数、あるいはInter-RAT周波数の優先順位を受信したか否か判断する。受信した場合、ステップST3803へ移行する。受信しない場合、ステップST3804へ移行する。ステップST3803にて移動端末は、システム情報にて受信した優先順位に従ってセルの再選択を行う。
ステップST3806にて移動端末は、RRC接続状態へ遷移したか否かを判断する。遷移した場合、ステップST3808へ移行する。遷移していない場合、ステップST3807へ移行する。ステップST3807にて移動端末は、タイマT320が終了しているか否か判断する。終了している場合、ステップ3808へ遷移する。終了していない場合、ステップST3804へ戻り、ステップST3804からステップST3807の処理を繰り返す。また、ステップST3804からステップST3807の処理の順序は任意であり、さらには同時であっても構わない。
本実施の形態14における課題について以下説明する。実施の形態13にて記載した通り従来技術では、個別信号にてネットワーク側(基地局)から移動端末へ通知された優先順位(異なるE-UTRAN周波数、あるいはInter-RAT周波数の優先順位)の有効時間は1種類であった。前述の通り、LTE及びUMTSにおいてCSGセルが導入される。いずれのCSGセルへも未登録の移動端末、つまりホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有さない移動端末は、non-CSGセルのみをセル再選択の対象とする。従って優先順位の変更は少ないと考えられる。いずれかのCSGセルへ登録済みの移動端末、つまりホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有する移動端末は、non-CSGセルだけなくCSGセルをも再選択の対象とする。従って優先順位の変更は頻繁であると考えられる。このように優先順位の変更の頻度が異なる状況下において、優先順位の有効時間が1種類であれば、それぞれの状況変化に適合する有効時間を設定することが不可能であり、制御遅延が増大するという課題が発生する。更に本課題は、LTE(E-UTRAN)システムへのCSGセル導入においてもW-CDMA(UTRAN,UMTS)システムへのCSGセル導入においても発生する。
報知制御チャネルで通知する場合、傘下の全移動端末に対して通知可能であり、無線リソースの有効活用という点において優れた方法である。実施の形態14は、実施の形態13と共に用いることが出来る。その場合のホワイトリストにCSG-IDを含んでいる場合、あるいはCSGセルに登録している場合用の優先順位の有効時間、及びホワイトリストにCSG-IDを含んでいない場合、あるいはCSGセルに登録していない場合用の優先順位の有効時間の通知方法は、RRCメッセージ及び報知制御チャネルが考えられる。RRCメッセージで通知する場合には更に、個別信号にて通知される優先順位とともに通知することが考えられる。RRCメッセージで通知する場合、優先順位と当該優先順位の有効時間を同じ通知方法で通知できる点において、移動体通信システムの複雑性を回避する点において優れている。更に優先順位と当該優先順位の有効時間をともに通知すことにより移動体通信システムの制御遅延を削減できる点において優れている。報知制御チャネルで通知する場合、傘下の全移動端末に対して通知可能であり、無線リソースの有効活用という点において優れた方法である。
ネットワーク側(基地局など)が該当の移動端末がホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有しているか否かを把握せずとも上記効果を有する点において、実施の形態14の解決策は優れている。これにより、移動端末から基地局へホワイトリスト中のCSG-IDの有無を通知しなくて良く、無線リソースの有効活用が図れる。また、基地局が傘下の移動端末のホワイトリスト中のCSG-IDの有無を管理する必要がない点において、基地局の処理負荷の軽減という効果を得ることが出来る。実施の形態14と実施の形態13を共に用いることにより、ホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有する移動端末とホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有さない移動端末に適した柔軟性に富んだ、優先順位設定が可能になる。これにより、移動体通信システムとして制御遅延の増大を防ぐという効果を得る。
非特許文献6(10.1.1.2章)、非特許文献7(5.2.4.2章)にセル再選択(Cell Reselection)のLTE移動体通信システムとしての手順が開示されている。以下開示されている事項について記す。RRC_IDLE状態の移動端末はセル再選択を行う。移動端末は、再選択を実施するためにサービングセルと周辺セル(Neighbor cell)の測定を行う。
サービングセルシステム情報中の周辺セルを示す必要はない(移動端末がセルをサーチ、測定する目的で)。サービングセルの特性がサーチあるいは測定基準を満たす場合は、測定が省略される。セル再選択とは、移動端末がキャンプオンすべきセルを認証する。サービングセルの測定に関するセル再選択基準(cell reselection criteria)に基づいている。同周波数間の再選択は、セルのランキングに基づく。異周波数間の再選択は、移動端末が利用可能な最も優先順位(Priority)の高い周波数にキャンプオンしようと試みる絶対的な優先順位に基づく。再選択用の絶対的な優先順位は前回位置登録(registered)したPLMNであるRPLMNによってのみ提供され、RPLMN内でのみ有効である。優先順位は、システム情報が提供しセル内の全移動端末(セルの傘下の移動端末)に有効である。移動端末毎の特別な優先順位はRRC接続開放メッセージ(RRC Connection Release message)内で通知されることが可能である。有効時間は、移動端末個別の優先順位を連動させることが可能である。異周波数間隣接セル用にレイヤ個別のセル再選択パラメータ(Layer-specific cell reselection parameters)(例えばレイヤ個別のオフセットなど)を示すことが可能である。これらのパラメータは周波数上の全隣接セルに共通である。隣接セルリスト(Neighbor Cell List:NCL)は、サービングセルが同周波数間そして異周波数間の特別な場合を取り扱うために提供可能である。この隣接セルリストは特定の(specific)隣接セル用のセル特定のセル再選択パラメータ(例えば、セル特定のオフセット)を含む。移動端末が特定の同周波数間と異周波数間の隣接セルを再選択しないよう、ブラックリストを提供することが出来る。セル再選択はスピード依存である(速度に依存させることが可能)。スピード検出は、UTRANの解決法に基づく。一つのセル内の全移動端末にセル再選択パラメータは適用可能だが、移動端末グループ毎、移動端末毎に特定の再選択パラメータを設定することも可能。
よって移動体通信システムにとっても、CSGセルが選択可能な場所にある移動端末がCSGセルにキャンプオンすることを望むことが予想される。
non-CSGセル内にCSGセルが設置された場合を考える。また、サービングセルがnon-CSGセルとなっている移動端末がCSGセルのカバレッジ内に存在する場合を考える。この状況下で当該移動端末の測定基準を満たさない場合、サービングセル(non-CSGセル)の受信品質が閾値より大きい場合、S_ServingCell>S_intrasearchの場合、移動端末がセル再選択のための測定を行わないことになる。図41のステップST4102において測定基準を満たさないと判断し、ステップST4103の処理を行わずにステップST4102を繰り返す。このことは、当該移動端末がCSGセルのカバレッジ内にありながら、当該CSGセルを再選択する機会を与えられないことを意味する。これにより、ユーザがCSGセルの課金プランの恩恵を受けることが出来ないという課題が発生する。また、移動体通信システムにおいても、non-CSGセルの負荷軽減が図れないという課題が発生する。
ステップST4206にて移動端末は、ステップST4205で行った測定の結果によりセル再選択を行うか否かを判断する。セル再選択を行う場合、ステップST4101へ戻る。
更には、サービングセルがマスター情報(MIB)を用いてPBCHにて、あるいはシステム情報(SIB)を用いてPDSCHにて通知する。MIBを用いる場合は、MIBはPBCHにマッピングされることから、移動端末が制御遅延を少なく受信可能という点で優れた方法である。SIBを用いる場合は、SIB1を用いて通知する。MIBあるいはSIB1はセルサーチから待ちうけの動作に必要最小限受信する報知情報である点において、移動端末の制御遅延を少なくする点において優れた方法である。更にはSIB1以外のシステム情報で通知する方法であっても報知情報であるので、傘下の全移動端末に対して通知可能であり、無線リソースの有効活用という点において優れた方法である。第1の方法にて移動端末は、サービングセルのBCCHを受信するのみでホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有する場合に適用する、サービングセルの状態が良い(Sx>S_intrasearch、Sx>S_intersearch)場合であってもセル再選択のための測定をおこなう周期(タイマ)を入手できるため、制御遅延防止という効果を得ることができる。第2の方法としては、CSGセルが移動端末に報知情報としてBCCHを用いてPBCHあるいはPDSCHにて通知する。更には、CSGセルがマスター情報(MIB)を用いてPBCH、あるいはシステム情報(SIB)を用いてPDSCHにて通知する。MIBを用いる場合は、MIBはPBCHにマッピングされることから、移動端末が制御遅延を少なく受信可能という点で優れた方法である。SIBを用いる場合は、SIB1を用いて通知する。MIBあるいはSIB1はセルサーチから待ちうけの動作に必要最小限受信する報知情報である点において、移動端末の制御遅延を少なくする点において優れた方法である。更にはSIB1以外のシステム情報で通知する方法であっても報知情報であるので、傘下の全移動端末に対して通知可能であり、無線リソースの有効活用という点において優れた方法である。non-CSGセルのシステム情報にCSG導入が原因となる変更を加えなくて良いという効果を得ることが出来る。これは,既存のCSGを含まないLTEシステム(eUTRA/eUTRAN)での変更が不要となり,互換性が向上する。第3の方法としては、non-CSGセルが移動端末に報知情報としてBCCHを用いてPBCHあるいはPDSCHにて通知する。更には、CSGセルがマスター情報(MIB)を用いてPBCH、あるいはシステム情報(SIB)を用いてPDSCHにて通知する。MIBを用いる場合は、MIBはPBCHにマッピングされることから、移動端末が制御遅延を少なく受信可能という点で優れた方法である。SIBを用いる場合は、SIB1を用いて通知する。MIBあるいはSIB1はセルサーチから待ちうけの動作に必要最小限受信する報知情報である点において、移動端末の制御遅延を少なくする点において優れた方法である。更にはSIB1以外のシステム情報で通知する方法であっても良い。SIB1以外のシステム情報も報知情報であるので、傘下の全移動端末に対して通知可能であり、無線リソースの有効活用という点において優れた方法である。non-CSGセルがサービングセルである場合にCSGセルを選択可能とするためには、non-CSGセルから当該パラメータを通知すれば足りる。よって無線リソースの有効活用という点で第3の方法は優れている。第4の方法としては、移動体通信システムとして静的な値(移動体通信システムとして移動端末・基地局などにとって既知の値、規格書などに記載する値)とする。これにより基地局(ネットワーク側)と移動端末との間で無線信号が発生しない。よって無線リソースの有効活用という点で効果を得ることが出来る。さらに、静的に決定された値なので、無線信号の受信エラーの発生を防ぐという効果を得ることが出来る。
実施の形態16では、実施の形態15で示した課題について実施の形態15とは別の解決策について開示する。また、現在のセル再選択手順において、non-CSGセルであるサービングセルの受信品質が良好な場合であっても、周辺セルのCSGセルを選択可能とするためには、以下動作が考えられる。例えばS_intrasearchを低く設定する。これにより、サービングセルの受信品質が良好な場合であっても、測定基準が満たされ易くなり、セル再選択のための測定が行われ易くなる。しかし、上記のようにS_intrasearchを低くした場合、当該サービングセル傘下の全移動端末(ホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有さない移動端末も含めて)がサービングセルの受信状況が良好な場合であっても、測定基準が満たされ易くなり、セル再選択のための測定が行われ易くなる。その場合、移動端末(CSGセルに未登録)にとってはCSGセルを選択することは不可能であるので、無駄な測定が発生することになり、移動端末の消費電力増加という課題が発生する。
3GPPにおいて、Home-NodeB(Home-NB、HNB)、Home-eNodeB(Home-eNB、HeNB)と称される基地局が検討されている。HNB/HeNBはUTRAN/E-UTRANにおける、例えば家庭、法人、商業用のアクセスサービス向けの基地局である。非特許文献9にHeNB及びHNBへのアクセスの3つの異なるモードが開示されている。オープンアクセスモード(Open access mode)とクローズドアクセスモード(Closed access mode)とハイブリッドアクセスモード(Hybrid access mode)である。各々のモードは以下のような特徴を有する。オープンアクセスモードでは、HeNBやHNBは通常のオペレータのノーマルセルとして操作される。クローズドアクセスモードでは、HeNBやHNBがCSGセルとして操作される。CSGセルはCSGメンバーのみアクセス可能なセルである。ハイブリッドアクセスモードでは、non-CSGメンバーも同時にアクセス許可されているCSGセルである。ハイブリッドアクセスモードのセルは、言い換えれば、オープンアクセスモードとクローズドアクセスモードの両方をサポートするセルである。ハイブリッドアクセスモードのセルはハイブリッドセルとも呼ばれる。
サービングセルの受信品質が良好な場合でも、所望のCSGセルへセル再選択可能とする具体的な方法として、例えば非特許文献11にはCSGセル毎にQoffsetを与える方法が記載されている。
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset_csg
とし、そうでないUEについては、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset_noncsg
とする。
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset-Qoffset_csg
とし、そうでないUEは、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset-Qoffset_noncsg
とする。
SIB4では従来のオフセット値が、対応するセルの情報と共に送信される。それらの情報とともにオフセット値が送信されることで、対応するセル毎に、従来のオフセット値とあわせてセルランキングクライテリアを実行できるようになる。対応するセルの情報として、ハイブリットセル用に与えることができるPCIレンジを用いても良い。こうすることによって、複数のハイブリッドセルに対して同じ値を設定可能となり、SIB4の情報量を減らすことができる。
Rn=Qmeas,n-(Qoffset_noncsg-Qoffset_delta)
とし、そうでないUEについては、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset_noncsg
とする。
Rn=Qmeas,n-(Qoffset-Qoffset_delta)
とし、そうでないUEは、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset
とする。
実施の形態18では、CSGメンバーのUEがnon-CSGメンバーのUEよりもハイブリッドセルに対して早くセル再選択を行う方法、言い換えるとハイブリッドセルへの(インバウンド、inbound)再選択をし易くする方法について開示した。
Rs=Qmeas,s+Qhyst-Qoffset_csg
とし、そうでないUEについては、
Rs=Qmeas,s+Qhyst-Qoffset_noncsg
とする。
上記の実施の形態では、ハイブリッドセルにおいてCSGメンバーのUEをnon-CSGメンバーのUEより長く留まらせるためのハイブリッドセルへ/からのセル再選択方法について開示した。本実施の形態では、ハイブリッドセルにおいてCSGメンバーのUEをnon-CSGメンバーのUEより長く留まらせるためのハイブリッドセルへ/からのハンドオーバー(inbound HO/outbound HO)の方法について開示する。
各UE個別に通知するのはどちらか一方のパラメータだけにしておき、該差分値を用いて導出するようにすれば良い。これにより、各UE個別に通知する情報が少なくなるため、シグナリングのためのリソース負荷の低減が図れる。
本実施の形態の課題を以下に示す。例えば、同じCSG-IDのセルは同じオーナが所有する、あるいは同じCSG-IDのセルからは同じ課金優遇が受けられる、あるいは同じCSG-IDのセルからは通信速度で同じ優遇が受けられるなどのサービスが考えられる。これによりユーザが、同じCSG-IDを有するセルをセル再選択することを望むことが考えられる。
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset_samecsg
としサービングセルと異なるCSG-IDを有する周辺セルについては、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset_diffcsg
とする。
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset-Qoffset_samecsg
とし、サービングセルと異なるCSG-IDを有する周辺セルについては、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset-Qoffset_diffcsg
とする。
これらを適用した場合、同様の効果を得ることができる。
SIB4では従来のオフセット値が、対応するセルの情報と共に送信される。それらの情報とともにオフセット値が送信されることで、対応するセル毎に、従来のオフセット値とあわせてセルランキングクライテリアを実行できるようになる。
Rn=Qmeas,n-(Qoffset_diffcsg-Qoffset_delta2)
とし、サービングセルと異なるCSG-IDを有する周辺セルについては、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset_diffcsg
とする。
Rn=Qmeas,n-(Qoffset-Qoffset_delta2)
とし、サービングセルと異なるCSG-IDを有する周辺セルについては、
Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset
とする。
同じCSG-IDを有する周辺セルと異なるCSG-IDを有する周辺セルとでセルの再選択を行う判断基準を異ならせることが可能となる。これにより、サービングセルと異なるCSG-IDを有するセルより、同じCSG-IDを有するセルをセル再選択しやすくすることが可能となる。 これによりユーザは、同じCSG-IDのセルを継続して選択することが可能となり、同じCSG-IDの同じサービスを受けることが可能となる。よってユーザにとって使いやすい移動体通信システムの構築という効果を得ることが出来る。
CSGメンバーは、ハイブリッドセルでCSGメンバーに対する高速通信や優遇課金プランなどのサービスをより早く、より長く受けることを可能とするため、ハイブリッドセルにおいてCSGメンバーのUEがnon-CSGメンバーのUEより長く留まらせることが要求される。
Pcmax = min{Pemax,Pumax}
ここで、PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWERは基地局の目標受信電力、PLはパスロス、Pemaxはセル毎に設定される最大許容電力、PumaxはUEの最大送信電力である。Pemaxは各セルからの報知情報などとして傘下のUEに通知され、傘下の全てのUEに共通な最大許容電力である。Pumaxは、各UEのパワークラスに応じてあらかじめ決められる。
CSGメンバーに対しては、Pcmax = min{Pemax_csg,Pumax}とし、
non-CSGメンバーに対しては、Pcmax = min{Pemax_noncsg,Pumax}とする。
ネットワーク側で決定することで、周辺セルの電波環境や負荷状況(例えば端末接続台数など)をもとに値を設定することが可能となる。システムとして、通信不可能な状況、通信誤りによる接続遅延、シグナリング量の増大、負荷の集中、などを低減することが可能となる。
CSGメンバーに対しては、Pcmax = min{Pemax_common+Pemax_delta,Pumax}とし、non-CSGメンバーに対しては、Pcmax = min{Pemax_common,Pumax}とする。このようにすることで、CSGメンバーのUEとnon-CSGメンバーのUEとで異なる最大許容電力を有することが可能となるため、上述の方法と同等の効果が得られる。
CSGメンバーに対しては、Pcmax = min{Pemax,Pumax_csg}とし、
non-CSGメンバーに対しては、Pcmax = min{Pemax,Pumax_noncsg}とする。
こうすることで、Pemaxに関してはセル傘下のUE全てに共通の設定とすることができるため、従来の設定と変わりない設定で済む。
本実施の形態では、上り通信を始める際のUEの初期送信電力をCSGメンバーのUEとnon-CSGメンバーのUEとで異ならせることを可能とするため、セル再選択においてホワイトリスト中にCSG-IDを有するUEあるいはCSGに登録しているUEと、そうでないUEに適用する基準の差分を用いる。
この値を、PRACH初期送信電力の導出の際に用いられる最大許容電力のCSGメンバーのUE用とnon-CSGメンバーのUE用との差分値であるPemax_delta(=Pemax_csg-Pemax_noncsg)とする。
あるいは、
Pemax_delta=|S_intrasearch_delta|
としても良い。
Pemax_delta=Qoffset_delta
あるいは、
Pemax_delta=|Qoffset_delta|
とすれば良い。
Pemax_delta=Qoffset_delta
あるいは、
Pemax_delta=|Qoffset_delta|
とすれば良い。
ネットワーク側からサービングセルへの通知にはインタフェースS1を用いることができる。こうすることで、ハイブリッドセルを含めたセルの配置に柔軟に対応できるようになる。ネットワーク側が決定する場合は、周辺セルの電波環境や負荷状況(例えば端末接続台数など)をもとに値を設定することが可能となる。システムとして、通信不可能な状況、通信誤りによる接続遅延、シグナリング量の増大、負荷の集中、などを低減することが可能となる。
