LTE ( Long Term Evolution, 长期演进) 网络由 E-UTRAN ( Evolved UTRAN, 演进 UMTS ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 通用移 动通信系统) 陆地无线接入网)基站 eNB ( Evolved Node B, 演进 Node B ) 和 EPC ( Evolved Packet Core, 演进分组交换中心) 组成, 网络扁平化。 其 中 EUTRAN包含和 EPC通过 S 1接口连接的 eNB的集合, eNB之间能通过 X2连接。 S l、 X2是還辑接口。 一个 EPC可以管理一个或多个 eNB, —个 eNB也可以受控于多个 EPC, —个 eNB可以管理一个或多个小区。 EPC是 由 MME ( Mobility Management Entity, 移动管理单元) 和 SGW ( Serving Gateway, 月艮务网关)、 PGW ( Packet Data Network Gateway, 分组数据网络 网关) 组成。 在 LTE中由于无线环境或者用户设备 ( UE, User Equipment )在网络覆 盖区域的移动等因素影响, 可能会引起 UE的连接发生异常, 比如可能导致 UE发生无线链路失败 ( RLF, Radio Link Failure ), 从而影响了 UE的正常业 务。 为了避免这种情况, 需要尽快检测导致 RLF的原因, 比如是否覆盖区域 内存在覆盖漏洞。但是在 LTE网络中不当的切换参数也会导致 UE发生 RLF , 比如可能服务小区会把 UE切换到一个信号不好的邻区导致 UE在邻区发生 了 RLF,为了优化这种情况,在 LTE的自组织网络功能( SON, Self-Organizing Network ) 中就提出了移动性鲁莽性优化 ( MRO , Mobility Robustness Optimization ), MRO可以才艮据 UE发生 RLF的行为发现当前移动性参数存 在的问题。 比如图 1所示, 处在小区 1 ( eNBl ) 中的 UE发生了 RLF, 最终 UE选了小区 2 ( eNB2 )发起了重建, 则小区 2 ( eNB2 ) 会根据 UE的重建 消息向小区 1 ( eNBl ) 立即发送一个 RLF指示 ( RLF Indication )。 如果 UE 在小区 2重建失败返回 IDLE (空闲)态, 则 UE会通过小区选择选择新的小 区 3进行 RRC ( Radio Resource Connection, 无线资源连接 ) 建立。 而在 UE 处于 IDLE状态的过程中, UE可能经过了多个小区, 从 UE发生 RLF的时 候到进行 RRC建立的过程中, UE能够搜集到的信息对于网络侧检测是覆盖 问题还是移动性参数问题起着重要的作用。 但如前面所述, 由于覆盖漏洞也可能会导致 UE发生 RLF, 这就可能会 导致网络侧无法正确判断导致 RLF的原因。 例如, 当 UE由于 RRC连接重 建失败后, 转入 IDLE态, 到 UE通过小区选择选择到合适的小区进行 RRC 建立成功之间时间可以很长也可能很短。 这和 UE的移动轨迹以及覆盖漏洞 的大小相关, 而目前 UE上报的信息中只包含 UE在发生 RLF时刻的测量结 果可用来判断是否由于覆盖导致的 RLF,这样无法对导致 RLF的原因进行准 确判断。 发明内容 针对现有技术中无法对导致 RLF 的原因进行准确判断的问题而提出本 发明, 为此, 本发明的主要目的在于提供一种无线链路失败原因的确定方法 和装置, 以解决上述问题至少之一。 为了实现上述目的, 才艮据本发明的一个方面, 提供了一种无线链路失败 原因的确定方法, 其中, UE在其所驻留的第一基站中发生 RLF, 并与第二 基站成功建立 RRC,上述方法包括:上述 UE向上述第一基站发送 RLF信息, 其中, 上述 RLF信息包括以下至少之一: UE在 RRC建立成功时 ΐ己录的周围 环境信号质量信息、上述 UE在发生 RLF时的位置信息以及上述 UE在 RRC 建立成功时的位置信息;上述第一基站 居上述 RLF信息来确定上述无线链 路失败的原因。 上述 UE向上述第一基站发送 RLF信息包括:上述 UE将上述 RLF信息 上报给上述第二基站; 上述第二基站通过 Χ2或 S 1接口将上述 RLF信息发 送给上述第一基站。 上述 UE向上述第一基站发送 RLF信息包括:上述 UE将上述 RLF信息 上报给上述第二基站; 上述第二基站通过 Χ2或 S 1接口将上述 RLF信息发 送给核心网; 上述核心网将上述 RLF信息发送给上述第一基站。 上述第一基站 居上述 RLF信息来确定上述无线链路失败的原因包括: 上述第一基站判断上述 RLF信息中携带的 RLF发生时刻所记录的小区的信 号质量是否小于预设阈值, 其中, 上述小区包括以下至少之一: 上述 UE所 在的服务小区以及邻小区; 若小于, 则上述第一基站确定上述无线链路失败 的原因由小区出现覆盖漏洞而导致。 上述第一基站判断上述 RLF信息中携带的 RLF发生时刻记录的服务小 区或邻小区的信号质量是否小于预设阈值的步骤还包括: 若存在信号质量小 于上述预设阈值的上述小区, 则确定上述无线链路失败的原因由该小区出现 覆盖漏洞而导致;通过小区覆盖模型、信号衰减模型以及上述 UE在发生 RLF 时的位置信息以及上述 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息计算信号质量小于 上述预设阈值的上述小区中的覆盖漏洞的大小和位置。 在确定上述无线链路失败的原因由该小区出现覆盖漏洞而导致之后, 上 述方法还包括:调整出现覆盖漏洞的所述小区中的用于影响小区覆盖的参数。 上述周围环境信号质量信息包括以下至少之一: 上述 UE在向上述第二 基站发起 RRC请求时所测量的服务小区和邻小区的服务信号质量。 上述第一基站与上述第二基站位于不同的系统中。 为了实现上述目的, 才艮据本发明的另一方面, 提供了一种无线链路失败 原因的确定装置, 位于第一基站中, 其中, UE 在其所驻留的上述第一基站 中发生 RLF, 并与第二基站成功建立 RRC, 上述装置包括: 接收单元, 设置 为接收来自上述 UE的 RLF信息, 其中, 上述 RLF信息包括以下至少之一: UE在 RRC建立成功时记录的周围环境信号质量信息、 上述 UE在发生 RLF 时的位置信息以及上述 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息; 确定单元, 设置 为才艮据上述 RLF信息来确定上述无线链路失败的原因。 上述接收单元包括: 第一接收模块, 设置为接收上述 UE发送的并经由 上述第二基站转发的上述 RLF信息; 第二接收模块, 设置为接收上述 UE发 送的并经由上述第二基站、 核心网转发的上述 RLF信息。 上述确定单元包括: 判断模块,设置为判断上述 RLF信息中携带的 RLF 发生时刻所记录的小区的信号质量是否小于预设阈值, 其中, 上述小区包括 以下至少之一: 上述 UE所在的服务小区以及邻小区; 确定模块, 设置为在 上述 RLF信息中携带的 RLF发生时刻所记录的小区的信号质量小于上述预 设阈值时, 确定上述无线链路失败的原因由小区出现覆盖漏洞而导致。 上述装置还包括: 调整单元, 设置为在确定出上述无线链路失败的原因 由小区出现覆盖漏洞而导致之后, 调整存在信号质量小于上述预设阈值的上 述小区的用于影响小区覆盖的参数。 通过本发明, 利用周围环境信号质量信息以及位置信息对无线链路失败 的原因进行判断, 能够使得网络侧获取到更为准确和全面的信息。 此外, 本 发明还对由于覆盖问题导致的 RLF问题进行了分析,推测覆盖漏洞的大小情 况, 为解决网络覆盖问题提供了检测方法, 同时有助于网络侧根据覆盖情况 进行相应的优化措施, 减少网络掉话率, 提高网络性能。 本发明的其它特征和优点将在随后的说明书中阐述, 并且, 部分地从说 明书中变得显而易见, 或者通过实施本发明而了解。 本发明的目的和其他优 点可通过在所写的说明书、 权利要求书、 以及附图中所特别指出的结构来实 现和获得。 附图说明 此处所说明的附图用来提供对本发明的进一步理解, 构成本申请的一部 分, 本发明的示意性实施例及其说明用于解释本发明, 并不构成对本发明的 不当限定。 在附图中: 图 1是根据相关技术的由于覆盖问题导致的终端移动的示意图; 图 2是才艮据本发明实施例的无线链路失败原因的确定方法的一种优选的 流程图; 图 3是才艮据本发明实施例的无线链路失败原因的确定方法的另一种优选 的流程图; 图 4是才艮据本发明实施例的无线链路失败原因的确定方法的又一种优选 的流程图; 图 5是根据本发明实施例的无线链路失败原因的确定装置的一种优选的 结构示意图。 具体实施方式 下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。 需要说明的是, 在 不冲突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。 实施例 1 图 2是才艮据本发明实施例的无线链路失败原因的确定方法的一种优选的 流程图。在该实施例中, UE在其所驻留的第一基站中发生无线链路失败 RLF, 并与第二基站成功建立 RRC。 如图 2所示的确定方法包括如下步 4聚:
S202, 上述 UE向上述第一基站发送 RLF信息, 其中, 上述 RLF信息 包括以下至少之一: UE在 RRC建立成功时记录的周围环境信号质量信息、 上述 UE在发生 RLF时的位置信息以及上述 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置 信息;
S204, 上述第一基站 居上述 RLF 信息来确定上述无线链路失败的原 因。 通过本优选的实施例, 利用周围环境信号质量信息以及位置信息对无线 链路失败的原因进行判断, 能够使得网络侧获取到更为准确和全面的信息。 优选的, 所述 UE向所述第一基站发送 RLF信息包括: 所述 UE将所述 RLF信息上报给所述第二基站;所述第二基站通过 X2或 S 1接口将所述 RLF 信息发送给所述第一基站。 在本优选的实施例中, 通过接口将 RLF信息传递 给源基站,使得源基站能够根据所携带的信息判断之前发生 RLF时候的覆盖 漏洞情况。 优选的, 所述 UE向所述第一基站发送 RLF信息包括: 所述 UE将所述 RLF信息上报给所述第二基站;所述第二基站通过 X2或 S 1接口将所述 RLF 信息发送给核心网; 所述核心网将所述 RLF信息发送给所述第一基站。 通过 本优选的实施例, 可以使本发明适用于不同的场景。 优选的 ,所述第一基站 居所述 RLF信息来确定所述无线链路失败的原 因包括:所述第一基站才艮据所述 RLF信息确定出所述无线链路失败的原因由 小区出现覆盖漏洞而导致。 具体的, 第一基站(即, 源基站)判断 RLF信息 中携带的 RLF发生时刻记录的小区的信号质量是否小于预设的阈值, 其中, 所述小区包括以下至少之一: 所述 UE所在的服务小区以及邻小区; 若小于, 则确定所述无线链路失败的原因由小区出现覆盖漏洞而导致。 优选的 ,所述第一基站 居所述 RLF信息来确定所述无线链路失败的原 因包括:所述第一基站根据所述 RLF信息确定出出现覆盖漏洞的小区以及覆 盖漏洞的大小和位置。 具体的, 若存在信号质量小于所述预设阈值的所述小 区, 则确定所述无线链路失败的原因由该小区出现覆盖漏洞而导致; 通过小 区覆盖模型、 信号衰减模型以及所述 UE在发生 RLF时的位置信息以及所述 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息计算信号质量小于所述预设阈值的所述小 区中的覆盖漏洞的大小和位置。 例如, RLF信息中携带的信息包括: 1 ) 如图 1所示场景下 UE在发生
RLF时刻记录到的周围环境信号质量信息, 其中, 包括当前服务小区 1的信 号质量、 小区 2的信号质量, 以及小区 3的信号质量信息; 2 )记录的 UE在 发生 RLF时的位置信息; 3 ) UE在小区 3进行 RRC建立时候的周围环境信 号质量信息, 其中, 包括当前服务小区 3的信号质量、 小区 1的信号质量, 以及小区 3的信号质量信息; 4 )记录的 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息。 通过对两个不同位置信息的距离计算可以大致估计出两个点的距离, 同时根 据小区 1、 小区 2和小区 3的信号质量差, 比如小区 1的信号质量均非常小, 那么可以认为小区 1的覆盖有问题。 进一步, 在小区 1的覆盖范围内, 通过 UE在发生 RLF时的位置信息与 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息、以及该 小区的覆盖模型测算出各个点的信号衰减值, 若某个点的信号衰减值明显小 于信号衰减模型估计出的信号衰减值 (例如, 小于信号衰减模型估计出的信 号衰减值减去预定阈值), 则判断出该点上的小区覆盖存在问题。通过这种方 式, 可以大概估计得到出现覆盖漏洞的小区中的覆盖漏洞的大小和位置。 优选的,所述第一基站根据所述 RLF信息确定出出现覆盖漏洞的小区以 及覆盖漏洞的大小之后, 还包括: 调整出现覆盖漏洞的所述小区中的用于影 响小区覆盖的参数。 具体的, 根据确定出的所述出现覆盖漏洞的小区以及所 述覆盖漏洞的大小和位置生成优化参数; 使用所述优化参数对出现覆盖漏洞 的小区中的用于影响小区覆盖的参数进行调整。 例如, 当源基站判决出出现 覆盖问题的小区后, 可以通过对出现覆盖问题的小区的发射功率、 天线倾角 等影响小区覆盖的参数进行调整来达到网络优化的目的。 优选的, 所述周围环境信号质量信息包括以下至少之一: 所述 UE在向 所述第二基站发起 RRC请求时所测量的月艮务小区和邻小区的月艮务信号质量。 优选的, 上述位置信息可以用经度、 纬度、 海拔等信息来表示。 优选的, 所述第一基站与所述第二基站位于不同的系统中。 也就是说, 如果 UE在异系统中建立 RRC连接, 比如 UTRAN ( UMTS ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 通用移动通信系统) 陆地无线接入网)、 GSM ( Global System For Mobile Communications, 全球移动通信系统 ) 系统, 本 发明各个实施例中提到的确定方法同样适用。 优选的, UE 上 4艮的上述信息也可以通过接口在基站之间进行传递, 比 如 LTE系统中的 X2接口或 S 1接口。 在本发明优选的实施例中, 釆用终端上 4艮 RLF 相关信息, 网络侧获得 RLF相关信息后可用来判决发生 RLF的覆盖问题,并通过 UE测量到的时间、 环境信号质量相关信息来推测覆盖漏洞大小及位置, 为覆盖漏洞的检测和定 位提供了更多的依据。 实施例 2: 结合图 3 , 描述了终端上报 RLF相关信息流程。 如图 3所示, 终端上报 RLF相关信息流程包括以下步骤: S302, UE驻留在基站 1所辖的 Cell 1中, 由于无线质量变差或其它原 因导致发生了无线链路失败 RLF, UE 居小区选择过程选择了在基站 2所 辖的小区 Cell 2进行 RRC重建立过程, 重建失败, UE转入 IDLE态, 在 UE 移动过程中 UE通过小区选择在基站 3的 Cell3进行 RRC建立成功, 在此过 程中, UE除了记录在 RLF发生之前的服务小区和周围邻区的信号质量测量 结果,还可以记录 UE发起 RRC建立时所测量的服务小区和周围小区的信号 质量的测量结果, 还可以包含 UE发生 RLF时刻的位置信息, 和 /或 UE发起 RRC建立成功时刻的位置信息, 位置信息可以用经度、 纬度、 海拔等信息来 表示。
S304,UE在 RRC建立完成消息( RRCConnectionSetupComplete )中携带 了无线链路失败相关测量信息的指示信息, 指示基站 3 UE有保存的 RLF相 关的测量信息上报。 RLF相关的测量信息指 RLF发生之前的服务小区和周围 邻区的信号质量测量结果、 UE在随后发起 RRC建立时所测量的服务小区和 周围小区的信号质量的测量结果、 UE发生 RLF时刻的位置信息、 UE发起 RRC建立成功时刻的位置信息的一项或多项。 S306, 基站 3在收到无线链路失败相关测量信息的指示信息后, 可以向 下发 UE信息请求消息 ( UEInformationRequest ), 让 UE上 4艮相关 RLF的测 量信息。
S308, UE可以通过 UE信息响应消息( UEInformationResponse ) 4巴无线 链路失败相关的测量信息报告给基站 3。 基站 3可以把无线链路失败相关的 测量信息通过 X2或 S 1 的消息发送至基站 1。 优选的, 可用的消息有 RLF INDICATION ( RLF指示) 消息等。 基站 1 收到无线链路失败相关的测量信息, 结合其它 RLF信息, 判断 RLF的原因是覆盖黑洞还是切换参数设置不合理导致的, 例如服务小区和周 围小区的信号质量都比较差, 那么说明这里可能存在覆盖漏洞。 同时才艮据记 录的 RLF发生之前的服务小区和周围邻区的信号质量测量结果、 UE在随后 发起 RRC 建立时所测量的服务小区和周围小区的信号质量的测量结果, 以 及才艮据 UE记录这两个时刻的位置信息, 结合网络管理系统数据库中存储的 网络拓卜信息中在这些位置上小区的分布信息, 可以评估出网络覆盖问题是 由哪些小区的覆盖导致, 以及覆盖漏洞的大小, 从而进行合理的参数优化, 提高系统性能。 实施例 3 : 结合图 4, 描述了基站间 RLF上报信息传递和处理的流程。 如图 4所示, 基站间 RLF上报信息传递和处理的流程包括如下步骤:
1 ) 如实施例 2中的场景, 当基站 3接收到 UE上报的 RLF相关测量信 息, 若基站 3和基站 1之间存在直接接口, 则转步骤 2 ); 若基站 3和基站 1 之间不存在直接接口, 则转步骤 3 );
2 )基站 3通过 RLF指示 ( RLF INDICATION ) 消息在 X2接口将 RLF 相关测量信息发送给基站 1 , 由基站 1进行本地处理, 转步骤 5 )„
3 )基站 3将 RLF相关测量信息通过 S 1接口发送到核心网, 同时在该消 息中包含基站 1下 Celll的路由信息, 比如 TAC、 基站 1的全局 ID信息;
4 )核心网将 RLF相关测量信息透传到基站 1 , 由基站 1进行本地处理。
5 )基站 1收到无线链路失败相关的测量信息, 结合其它 RLF信息, 判 断 RLF的原因是覆盖黑洞还是切换参数设置不合理导致的,例如服务小区和 周围小区的信号质量都比较差, 那么说明这里可能存在覆盖漏洞。 同时根据 记录的 RLF发生之前的服务小区和周围邻区的信号质量测量结果、 UE在随 后发起 RRC 建立时所测量的服务小区和周围小区的信号质量的测量结果, 以及根据 UE记录这两个时刻的位置信息, 结合网络管理系统数据库中存储 的网络拓卜信息中在这些位置上小区的分布信息, 可以评估出网络覆盖问题 是由哪些小区的覆盖导致, 以及覆盖漏洞的大小,从而进行合理的参数优化, 提高系统性能。 实施例 4 图 5是根据本发明实施例的无线链路失败原因的确定装置的一种优选的 结构示意图。 如图 5所示, 本优选实施例中的无线链路失败原因的确定装置 位于第一基站中, 其中, UE 在其所驻留的所述第一基站中发生无线链路失 败 RLF, 并与第二基站成功建立 RRC。 具体的, 该确定装置包括: 接收单元 502 , 设置为接收来自所述 UE的 RLF信息, 其中, 所述 RLF信息包括以下 至少之一: UE在 RRC建立成功时记录的周围环境信号质量信息、 所述 UE 在发生 RLF时的位置信息以及所述 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息; 连 接接收单元 502的确定单元 504 , 设置为 居所述 RLF信息来确定所述无线 链路失败的原因。 通过本优选的实施例, 利用周围环境信号质量信息以及位置信息对无线 链路失败的原因进行判断, 能够使得网络侧获取到更为准确和全面的信息。 此外, 本发明还对由于覆盖问题导致的 RLF问题进行了分析, 推测覆盖漏洞 的大小情况, 为解决网络覆盖问题提供了检测方法, 同时有助于网络侧根据 覆盖情况进行相应的优化措施, 减少网络掉话率, 提高网络性能。 优选的, 所述接收单元 502 包括: 第一接收模块, 设置为接收所述 UE 发送的并经由所述第二基站转发的所述 RLF信息; 第二接收模块, 设置为接 收所述 UE发送的并经由所述第二基站、 核心网转发的所述 RLF信息。 通过 本优选的实施例, 可以使本发明适用于不同的场景。 优选的, 所述确定单元 504包括: 判断模块, 设置为判断所述 RLF信息 中携带的 RLF发生时刻所记录的小区的信号质量是否小于预设阈值, 其中, 所述小区包括以下至少之一: 所述 UE所在的服务小区以及邻小区; 连接判 断模块的确定模块, 设置为在所述 RLF信息中携带的 RLF发生时刻所记录 的小区的信号质量小于所述预设阈值时, 确定所述无线链路失败的原因由小 区出现覆盖漏洞而导致。 优选的,确定单元 504根据所述 RLF信息来确定所述无线链路失败的原 因的步骤还可以包括:确定单元 504根据所述 RLF信息确定出出现覆盖漏洞 的小区以及覆盖漏洞的大小和位置。 具体的, 若存在信号质量小于所述预设 阈值的所述小区, 则确定所述无线链路失败的原因由该小区出现覆盖漏洞而 导致; 通过小区覆盖模型、 信号衰减模型以及所述 UE在发生 RLF时的位置 信息以及所述 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息计算信号质量小于所述预设 阈值的所述小区中的覆盖漏洞的大小和位置。 例如, RLF信息中携带的信息包括: 1 ) 如图 1所示场景下 UE在发生 RLF时刻记录到的周围环境信号质量信息, 其中, 包括当前服务小区 1的信 号质量、 小区 2的信号质量, 以及小区 3的信号质量信息; 2 )记录的 UE在 发生 RLF时的位置信息; 3 ) UE在小区 3进行 RRC建立时候的周围环境信 号质量信息, 其中, 包括当前服务小区 3的信号质量、 小区 1的信号质量, 以及小区 3的信号质量信息; 4 )记录的 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息。 通过对两个不同位置信息的距离计算可以大致估计出两个点的距离, 同时根 据小区 1、 小区 2和小区 3的信号质量差, 比如小区 1的信号质量均非常小, 那么可以认为小区 1的覆盖有问题。 进一步, 在小区 1的覆盖范围内, 通过 UE在发生 RLF时的位置信息与 UE在 RRC建立成功时的位置信息、以及该 小区的覆盖模型测算出各个点的信号衰减值, 若某个点的信号衰减值明显小 于信号衰减模型估计出的信号衰减值 (例如, 小于信号衰减模型估计出的信 号衰减值减去预定阈值), 则判断出该点上的小区覆盖存在问题。通过这种方 式, 可以大概估计得到出现覆盖漏洞的小区中的覆盖漏洞的大小和位置。 优选的, 本优选的实施例中的确定装置还可以包括: 连接确定单元 504 的调整单元 506 , 设置为在确定出所述无线链路失败的原因由小区出现覆盖 漏洞而导致之后, 调整出现覆盖漏洞的所述小区中的用于影响小区覆盖的参 数。 在本优选的实施例中, 通过调整出现异常的小区的参数, 优化了网络。 优选的, 调整单元 506通过以下步骤调整出现覆盖漏洞的所述小区中的 用于影响小区覆盖的参数: 根据确定出的所述出现覆盖漏洞的小区以及所述 覆盖漏洞的大小和位置生成优化参数; 使用所述优化参数对出现覆盖漏洞的 小区中的用于影响小区覆盖的参数进行调整。 例如, 当源基站判决出出现覆 盖问题的小区后, 可以通过对出现覆盖问题的小区的发射功率、 天线倾角等 影响小区覆盖的参数进行调整来达到网络优化的目的。 优选的, 所述周围环境信号质量信息包括以下至少之一: 所述 UE在向 所述第二基站发起 RRC请求时所测量的月艮务小区和邻小区的月艮务信号质量。 优选的, 上述位置信息可以用经度、 纬度、 海拔等信息来表示。 优选的, 所述第一基站与所述第二基站位于不同的系统中。 也就是说, 如果 UE在异系统中建立 RRC连接, 比如 UTRAN、 GSM系统, 本发明各个 实施例中提到的确定方法同样适用。 优选的, UE 上 4艮的上述信息也可以通过接口在基站之间进行传递, 比 如 LTE系统中的 X2接口或 S 1接口。 需要说明的是, 在附图的流程图示出的步骤可以在诸如一组计算机可执 行指令的计算机系统中执行, 并且, 虽然在流程图中示出了逻辑顺序, 但是 在某些情况下, 可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。 显然, 本领域的技术人员应该明白, 上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可 以用通用的计算装置来实现, 它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上, 或者分布 在多个计算装置所组成的网络上, 可选地, 它们可以用计算装置可执行的程 序代码来实现, 从而, 可以将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行, 或 者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块, 或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制 作成单个集成电路模块来实现。 这样, 本发明不限制于任何特定的硬件和软 件结合。 以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已, 并不用于限制本发明, 对于本 领域的技术人员来说, 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的^"神和 原则之内, 所作的任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均应包含在本发明的保护 范围之内。 工业实用<1"生 本发明适用于无线移动通信领域, 并应用于无线链路失败原因的确定。 本发明的主要目的在于解决网络侧无法正确判断导致 RLF的原因的问题,通 过本发明, 利用周围环境信号质量信息以及位置信息对无线链路失败的原因 进行判断, 能够使得网络侧获取到更为准确和全面的信息。
