 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is a partial embodiment of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of Embodiment 1 of a cell handover method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , this embodiment provides a cell handover method, which may specifically include the following content.

 The base station sends a first measurement control message (for example, a Measurement Control message) to the user equipment, where the first measurement control message carries a first reporting threshold and a filtering coefficient corresponding to each neighboring cell, where at least two neighboring areas are different. Filter coefficient.

 In this embodiment, the first measurement control message sent by the base station to the user equipment carries the first reporting threshold and the filtering coefficient. The first reporting threshold may be a reporting threshold of the handover determining event, and the filtering coefficient is a filtering coefficient corresponding to different neighboring cells, and may be different filtering coefficients corresponding to at least two different neighboring cells, where the filtering coefficient may be based on an empirical value. Select. The first measurement control message and the first reporting threshold are both distinguished from the second measurement control message and the second reporting threshold in the subsequent embodiments, and have no other special meanings, and will not be further described later.

 102. The base station receives, by the user equipment, a signal quality value of each neighboring cell that meets the first reporting threshold, where the signal quality value of each neighboring cell is measured by the user equipment according to a filter coefficient corresponding to each neighboring cell. The signal quality value of the neighboring area is obtained after filtering.

After receiving the first measurement control message, the user equipment first measures the signals of each neighboring area, and performs filtering processing on the signals of each neighboring area according to the filter coefficients corresponding to the neighboring areas to obtain the filtered signal quality corresponding to each neighboring area. And determining whether the filtered signal quality value satisfies the first reporting threshold carried in the first measurement control message, and if yes, reporting to the base station that the signal quality value is satisfied. among them, The signal quality value may include a reference signal received power (RSRP) value and a reference signal received quality (hereinafter referred to as RSRQ) value.

 103. The base station performs a cell handover decision according to the signal quality value of each neighboring cell that is reported by the user equipment and meets the first reporting threshold.

 After receiving the signal quality value of each neighboring cell that is reported by the user equipment and satisfying the first reporting threshold, the base station performs a cell handover decision according to the signal quality value.

 Because the filtering coefficient sent by the base station to the user equipment in this embodiment is that the non-home equipment is sent to different neighboring areas, and not all the neighboring areas in the prior art correspond to the same filtering coefficient, therefore, the neighboring area acquired by the base station The signal quality value is obtained by filtering according to the corresponding filter coefficient. When the base station performs the cell handover decision according to the signal quality value, the neighboring area signals of different change rules are filtered to different degrees, so that the handover decision is more accurate.

 The embodiment provides a cell handover method, in which the base station sends different filter coefficients corresponding to at least two different neighboring cells to the user equipment, and the user equipment filters the measured signal quality values of the neighboring cells according to different filter coefficients. Then, the signal quality value of the neighboring cell that meets the first reporting threshold is reported to the base station, and the cell handover decision is performed, which solves the problem that the switching decision by using the same filtering coefficient for all neighboring cells is not determined in the prior art. Accurate defects improve the accuracy of the base station's decision on cell handover.

 2 is a signaling diagram of Embodiment 2 of a cell handover method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, this embodiment provides a specific cell handover method. The base station uses an evolved base station eNB as an example, and may specifically include the following content.

 201. The eNB sends a second measurement control message to the UE, where the second measurement control message carries a second reporting threshold.

After the UE accesses, reselects, or switches to the new cell, the eNB on the network side sends a second quantity control message to the UE, and the second measurement control message carries the second reporting threshold, where the second The second reporting threshold is a reporting threshold of the measurement event, which is lower than the first reporting threshold, that is, lower than the reporting threshold of the handover determination event. The filter coefficients carried in the second measurement control message are the same for all neighboring cells. Optionally, in the second measurement control message, the reporting mode may be set to an event-transition period, and the corresponding number of times of reporting and the reporting period may be set, and the number of reporting times and the reporting period may be configured according to actual required precision, and the specific configuration value is Reference may be made to the relevant definition in 3GPP TS 36.331, wherein the number of times of reporting may be multiple times.

 202. The UE measures, according to the second measurement control message, a signal of each neighboring cell.

 After receiving the second measurement control message, the UE measures the signals of each neighboring cell according to the second measurement control message, and obtains the signal quality value of each neighboring cell. The UE may further filter the measured neighboring cell signal according to the unified filter coefficient carried in the second measurement control message, and obtain the filtered signal quality value corresponding to each neighboring cell.

 203. The UE sends, to the eNB, the filtered signal quality values corresponding to the neighboring areas that meet the second reporting threshold.

 After obtaining the filtered signal quality value corresponding to each neighboring cell, the UE determines whether it meets the second reporting threshold, that is, whether it is greater than the reporting threshold of the measurement event. If yes, the UE will meet the neighboring areas of the second reporting threshold. The signal quality value is reported to the eNB, for example, periodically reported. In this embodiment, the reporting mode of the UE is an event-transition period, that is, after the signal quality value of a neighboring cell meets the reporting threshold of the measurement event, the signal quality value of the neighboring cell is periodically reported.

 204. The eNB acquires, according to the received multiple signal quality values of each neighboring cell, a filter coefficient corresponding to each neighboring cell.

 If the UE is periodically reported, the signal quality value of each neighboring cell received by the eNB is multiple, and the eNB may separately acquire the filtering coefficients corresponding to each neighboring cell according to the received multiple signal quality values of each neighboring cell. In this embodiment, the specific acquisition mode of the filter coefficient may be: selecting the optimal filter coefficient according to the specific requirement of combining the filtered signal standard deviation and the degree of deviation between the filtered signal value and the signal value before filtering.

Specifically, the step 204 may specifically include the following steps: First, the eNB utilizes different filtering. The coefficient performs filtering processing on the signal quality values of the neighboring cells that are reported by the user equipment that meet the second reporting threshold, and obtains the filtered signal quality value sequence corresponding to the neighboring cells in the different filtering coefficients. For the filter coefficient, the value range is specifically defined in the 3GPP TS 36.331 standard. In this step, a plurality of different filter coefficients are selected to simulate the filter respectively. The filter coefficient in this embodiment is specifically the filter coefficient K. Here, the 20 signal quality values reported by a UE in a neighboring cell may be used as an example. The eNB first uses different filter coefficients to filter 20 signal quality values of each neighboring cell according to a preset filtering formula to obtain different The filtered signal quality value sequence corresponding to each neighboring cell under the filter coefficient, for example, the filtering formula herein may be a filtering formula defined in the 3GPP TS 36.331 standard. Next, the eNB calculates a standard deviation of the filtered signal quality value sequence corresponding to each of the neighboring cells, and generates a first standard deviation of signal quality values of each neighboring cell. The eNB calculates a standard deviation of the difference between the filtered signal quality value and the pre-filtered signal quality value, and generates a second standard deviation value of the signal quality value of each neighboring cell. Then, the eNB calculates the product of the first standard deviation value and the second standard deviation value of each neighboring cell under different filter coefficients. Finally, the eNB uses, as the filter coefficient corresponding to each neighboring cell, a filter coefficient corresponding to a maximum value of a product of the first standard difference value of the neighboring cells in the different filter coefficients and the second standard deviation value.

 205. The eNB sends a first measurement control message to the UE, where the first measurement control message carries a first reporting threshold and a filtering coefficient corresponding to each neighboring cell, where at least two neighboring cells correspond to different filtering coefficients.

After the eNB completes the acquisition of the filter coefficients corresponding to the neighboring cells, the first measurement control message is sent to the UE, where the first measurement control message is a new measurement control message for the second measurement control message in the foregoing step. The first measurement control message carries the first reporting threshold and the different filtering coefficients corresponding to the acquired different neighboring cells. In this step, the first measurement control message may specifically include a correspondence between different neighboring cells and a filter coefficient, that is, a correspondence between a neighboring zone ID and a filter coefficient, where the neighboring zone ID may be a physical identifier of the neighboring zone. (Phy ID) can also be the global cell identification code (CGI) of the neighboring area. The filter coefficient can be specifically the filter coefficient! ^ 206. The UE updates the filter coefficient according to the first measurement control message.

 After receiving the first measurement control message, the UE updates the locally saved corresponding filter coefficients according to the filter coefficients corresponding to the neighboring cells carried therein. This step is optional.

 207. The UE performs filtering processing on the measured signal quality values of the neighboring cells according to the filter coefficients corresponding to the neighboring cells, and obtains the filtered signal quality values of the neighboring cells.

 The UE filters the measured signal quality values of the neighboring cells by using the filter coefficients corresponding to the neighboring cells, and obtains the filtered signal quality values corresponding to the neighboring cells.

 208. The UE reports the filtered signal quality value corresponding to the neighboring cell that meets the first reporting threshold to the eNB.

 After obtaining the signal quality value of each neighboring cell, the UE determines whether it meets the first reporting threshold, that is, whether it is greater than the reporting threshold of the handover determination event. If yes, the UE will satisfy the signal quality value of the neighboring region of the first reporting threshold. Report to the eNB.

 209. The eNB performs a cell handover decision according to the signal quality value reported by the UE.

 After receiving the signal quality value of each neighboring cell reported by the UE, the eNB performs a cell handover decision according to the signal quality value. In this embodiment, the eNB obtains different filter coefficients corresponding to different neighboring cells according to the neighboring cell signal quality value reported by the UE in real time, and not all neighboring cells in the prior art all correspond to the same filter coefficient. Therefore, the eNB acquires the neighboring cell. The signal quality value of the region is obtained by filtering according to the filter coefficient corresponding to each neighboring cell. When the eNB performs the cell handover decision according to the signal quality value, the eNB may use the change rule of the signal of the neighboring cell as the basis, thereby making the handover The judgment is more accurate.

In this embodiment, the eNB may be configured with a UE-level filter coefficient for each UE, or may be configured with a cell-level filter coefficient for all UEs. For example, when the number of UEs is small, the UE-level filter coefficients are configured. For example, the eNB obtains the filter coefficients corresponding to the different neighboring cells according to the signal quality values of the different neighboring cells reported by the UE1 and the UE2, respectively, and sends them to the UE1 and If the number of the UEs is large, the eNB may first obtain the filter coefficients corresponding to the neighboring cells according to the signal quality values reported by the UEs, and then acquire the same neighboring cells according to the signal quality values reported by the multiple UEs, for example, at least 20 UEs. Multiple filter coefficients are processed to obtain cell-level filter coefficients, for example, there are 20 UEs The signal quality values of the neighboring cell 1 are reported separately, and the eNB obtains 20 filter coefficients of the neighboring cell 1 according to the signal quality values reported by the 20 UEs, and the eNB averages the 20 filter coefficients, and averages the filter coefficients. As the filter coefficient of the neighboring area 1, it is sent to all UEs.

 The embodiment provides a cell handover processing method, in which the base station sends different filter coefficients corresponding to different neighboring cells to the user equipment, and the user equipment filters the measured signal quality values of the neighboring cells according to different filter coefficients. The filtered signal quality value corresponding to each neighboring cell that meets the first reporting threshold is reported to the base station, and the base station performs a cell handover decision according to the signal quality value. This embodiment uses different filtering coefficients for different neighboring cells to solve the present problem. In the prior art, the defect that the handover determination is inaccurate by using the same filter coefficient for all neighboring cells is improved, and the accuracy of the base station for cell handover decision is improved.

 FIG. 3 is a signaling diagram of Embodiment 3 of a cell handover method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment provides a specific cell handover method, which may specifically include the following content.

 301. The eNB sends a measurement control message to the UE, where the measurement control message carries a first reporting threshold and a filtering coefficient corresponding to each neighboring cell, where at least two neighboring cells respectively correspond to different filtering coefficients.

The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned second embodiment is that the different filter coefficients are not re-fitted, and the empirical value is selected, that is, the filter coefficients can be selected according to different cell boundary signal variation characteristics and experience. The measurement control message in this step may specifically include a correspondence between at least two different neighboring cells and a filter coefficient, that is, a correspondence between a neighboring zone ID and a filter coefficient, where the neighboring zone ID may be a physical identifier Phy ID of the neighboring zone. It can also be the CGI of the neighborhood.

The UE reports the filtered signal quality value corresponding to the neighboring cell that meets the first reporting threshold to the eNB.

 After obtaining the filtered signal quality value corresponding to each neighboring cell, the UE determines whether it meets the first reporting threshold, that is, whether it is greater than the reporting threshold of the handover determination event. If yes, the UE will satisfy the neighboring region of the first reporting threshold. The signal quality value is reported to the eNB.

 304. The eNB performs a cell handover decision according to the signal quality value reported by the UE.

 After receiving the signal quality value of each neighboring cell reported by the UE, the eNB performs a cell handover decision according to the signal quality value. Since the filter coefficients sent by the eNB to the UE in the present embodiment are different filter coefficients acquired for at least two different neighboring cells, instead of all neighboring cells in the prior art, the same filter coefficient is used, and therefore, the neighbor acquired by the eNB The signal quality value of the area is obtained by filtering according to the corresponding filter coefficient. When the eNB performs the cell handover decision according to the signal quality value, the eNB may use the change rule of the signal of the neighboring area to make the handover decision more accurate. .
