Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a mobile state estimation method, a user equipment, and a base station. A user equipment (User Equipment, UE for short) during a mobile process may continuously perform cell reselection or handover for a period of time, and the UE evaluates whether to perform cell weight according to whether a certain condition is continuously satisfied for a period of time. Select or trigger a measurement event for switching. The faster the UE moves, the faster the radio channel environment it experiences. Therefore, the UE may not be able to trigger cell reselection or handover, and the radio channel status of the serving cell drops sharply. Radio link failure occurs. Referred to as RLF), it causes network loss or dropped calls. In order to make the UE in the mobile state better adapt to the rapidly changing wireless environment, a mobile state is introduced to reflect the moving speed of the UE. The UE's mobile state is divided into three types: normal-mobility state, medium-mobility state, high-mobility state (high-mobility state, base station through system message (IDLE state). Or RRC-specific signaling (connected state), sending a series of parameters for determining the mobile state to the UE. The UE may estimate the mobile state by counting the number of changed cell changes within a certain length of time based on the determining parameter. The number of cell changes refers to the number of cell reselections (IDLE state) or the number of handovers (connected state). The IDLE state UE can adjust corresponding cell reselection related parameters according to its estimated mobility state; the connected state UE can be adjusted according to its estimated mobility state. The measurement event for the handover triggers the relevant parameter, and when the UE moves at a higher speed, the cell reselection or the evaluation time triggered by the measurement event for the handover can be reduced, and the cell reselection or handover completion is accelerated. In the existing mobile network, In order to meet the needs of users, there are homogeneous networks and heterogeneous networks. In homogeneous networks, due to different geographical locations or user distribution densities, The coverage of each cell in the homogeneous network is different. Heterogeneous network (HetNet) refers to a heterogeneous system in which low-power nodes are placed in the coverage area of the macro base station to form different nodes of the same coverage type. In the communication system, the base station provides radio access services for the UE, and one base station can set one or more serving cells. The Low Power Node (LPN) includes Micro, Pico, RRH (Remote Radio Head), Relay Wo P Femto (nanocell base station, also known as home base station), etc. It can be seen that the biggest feature of heterogeneous networks is that the coverage size of each cell in a heterogeneous network is very different. Under heterogeneous networks, various types of low power The nodes are deployed at the same time, and the coverage sizes of the cells are very different. Because in the prior art, the UE only considers the number of cell changes experienced to perform mobile state estimation, without considering Considering the cell size and network deployment conditions experienced, it may cause the UE moving at a constant speed to detect different mobile states due to different cell sizes experienced on the mobile path, that is, the UE cannot accurately perform mobile state estimation, and cannot Very well adapted to changes in current wireless channel conditions. Specifically, in a femto/pico cell deployment dense network environment, mobile UEs will undergo more frequent cell reselection or handover. In a mobile network, using prior art mobile state estimation, the UE may erroneously detect the mobile state it is in.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. This embodiment provides a mobile state estimation method, and FIG. 2 is a first flowchart of a mobile state estimation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The flow of the method includes the following steps S202 and S204. Step S202: The UE receives the counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell change sent by the base station, where the cell change includes: cell reselection or cell handover, and the counting weighting factor is used to identify the cell change corresponding to the cell change number determining process in the mobile state estimation. The value. Step S204: The UE performs the mobile state estimation of the UE by using a counting weighting factor. The UE receives the counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell change sent by the base station, where the cell change includes: cell reselection or cell handover, and the counting weighting factor is used to identify the cell change in the process of determining the number of cell changes in the mobile state estimation. The corresponding value enables the UE to determine the mobile state estimation according to the counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell reselection or the cell handover, and improves the accuracy of the mobile state estimation. It should be noted that the counting weighting factor in this embodiment is a value corresponding to cell reselection or cell handover in determining the mobile state estimation, that is, in the mobile state estimation, when the UE cell reselects to the cell or cell handover. To the cell, the cell corresponds to the value in the mobile state estimation. As a preferred implementation, step S204 may perform the mobile state estimation of the UE by using a counting weighting factor: the UE accumulates the counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell change received during the mobile in the predetermined time period to obtain the number of cell changes; The UE uses the number of cell changes to perform mobile state estimation. The method accumulates the counting weight factors corresponding to the received cell changes in a predetermined time period, and the calculation is relatively simple. Preferably, step S202 can obtain the counting weight factor in the following two manners. Manner 1: The UE receives the counting weighting factor that the base station sends to the UE through the system broadcast message. The second method: The UE receives the counting weighting factor that the base station sends to the UE by using the radio resource to control the RRC dedicated signaling. For example, for the UE in the idle state, mode 1 can be used. For the UE in the connected state, mode 1 and mode 2 can be used. Corresponding to the different states in which the UE is located, the way to obtain the message is different, and the counting weight factor is sent through the corresponding message path, so that the reliable transmission of the counting weight factor is realized. This embodiment provides a mobile state estimation method. FIG. 3 is a second flowchart of a mobile state estimation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the flow of the method includes the following steps S302 and S304. Step S302: The base station acquires a counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell change, where the cell change includes: a cell reselection or a cell handover, where the counting weighting factor is used to identify a value corresponding to the cell change in the process of determining the number of cell changes in the mobile state estimation; Step S304: The base station sends a counting weight factor to the UE. Through the foregoing steps, the base station acquires a counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell change, where the cell change includes: a cell reselection or a cell handover, where the counting weighting factor is used to identify a cell change corresponding to the cell change number determining process in the mobile state estimation. The value of the UE is such that the UE can determine the mobile state estimation calculation according to the counting weight factor corresponding to the cell reselection or the cell handover, and improve the accuracy of the mobile state estimation. It should be noted that the counting weighting factor in this embodiment is a value corresponding to cell reselection or cell handover in determining the mobile state estimation, that is, in the mobile state estimation, when the UE cell reselects to the cell or cell handover. To the cell, the cell corresponds to the value in the mobile state estimation. As a preferred implementation, in step S302, the base station obtains the counting weight factor corresponding to the serving cell of the user equipment UE in the following two manners: Method 1: The base station sets the counting weight factor corresponding to the cell change; or mode 2: The network management unit acquires a counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell change set by the network management unit through the network operation maintenance management OAM mode. The implementation of the first method is relatively simple, and the second method is obtained from the network management unit to improve the uniformity of the system setting parameters. Step S304 can adopt the following two modes: Mode 1: The base station can send a counting weighting factor to the UE by using a system broadcast message. Manner 2: The base station may send a counting weighting factor to the UE by using a system broadcast message or Radio Resource Control (RRC) proprietary signaling. For example, for a UE in an idle state, the base station may adopt mode one; for a connected UE, the base station may adopt mode one and mode two. Corresponding to the different states in which the UE is located, the way to obtain the message is different, and the counting weight factor is sent through the corresponding message path, so that the reliable transmission of the counting weight factor is realized. In an implementation, the system may update the counting weight factor according to the needs or the network deployment environment change. After the counting weighting factor is changed, the base station may notify the UE of the updated counting weighting factor by using a method similar to the foregoing sending counting weighting factor. For example, after the base station determines that the counting weighting factor is changed, the updated counting weighting factor can be sent to the UE in the following two manners: Mode 1: The base station sends the updated counting weighting factor through the system broadcast message. Manner 2: The base station sends the updated counting weight factor through system broadcast messages or radio resource control (RRC) proprietary signaling. For example, for the UE in the idle state, mode 1 can be used. For the UE in the connected state, mode 1 and mode 2 can be used. As a preferred implementation manner, the counting weighting factor is a real number greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. In the mobile state estimation method in the related art, it is generally calculated by accumulating the number of changes of the cell of the UE mobility path, that is, the weight corresponding to the number of changes of each cell is 1, for the convenience of calculation, according to The actual system setting, the counting weighting factor is set to a real number between 0 and 1, and the calculation is convenient and simple, and the different moving states corresponding to the UE in the mobile state estimation may be accumulated and determined according to the number of changes of the cell in the related art. Preferably, if the cell change does not count toward the mobile state estimation, the calculated weighting factor of the cell change is set to zero. For example, a cell set to be used in the macro base station to share the load of the macro cell does not count the accumulated sum in the mobile state estimation, and the counting weight factor of the cell is set to zero. Preferably, when the counting weighting factor is not 0, the counting weighting factor corresponding to the cell change is set according to the coverage of the cell. In the mobile state estimation in the related art, only the number of cell changes of the UE mobility path is considered, and the coverage of the cell is not considered, so that the UE that may move at a constant speed is detected due to the different coverage size of the cell on the path of the mobile path. Different mobile states, in order to overcome the inaccuracy of the UE mobile state estimation due to different coverage of the cell, different counting weight factors may be set corresponding to different cell coverage, for example: the coverage radius of the macro cell 1 is 20 m, the macro cell If the coverage radius of 2 is 10 m, the counting weight factor corresponding to the macro cell 1 may be set to 1, and the counting weight factor corresponding to the macro cell 2 is set to 0.5. Preferably, the foregoing base station includes one of the following: a macro base station, a home base station, a pico base station, a micro base station, and a relay node.

The following description will be made in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, and the following preferred embodiments incorporate the above-described embodiments and preferred embodiments. A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method for estimating a mobile device state of a terminal device. The method includes the following steps: Step S2: The base station sends a counting weighting factor to the UE. Step S4: The UE uses the counting weighting factor to perform mobile state estimation. Preferably, the base station in step S2 includes, but is not limited to, a macro base station, a home base station (He B;), a pico base station (pico), a micro base station (micro), a relay node (relay node); In the implementation manner, the counting weighting factor ranges from 0 to 1, which is superior. If the cell change does not count in the mobile state estimation, the base station sets its counting weighting factor to 0; when the counting weighting factor is not 0, The base station or the network management network element may set the counting weighting factor according to the coverage of the cell. Preferably, before step S2, the method further includes: the base station setting the counting weight factor; or, the other network element setting the counting weighting factor, for example : The counting weight factor can be set by OAM mode through the network management network element. Preferably, between step S2, the method further includes: the UE performs cell reselection or handover to a cell under the base station. Preferably, step S4 sends the counting weighting factor to the UE in the following two ways: Mode 1: The base station sends a counting weight factor through the system broadcast message; the system broadcast message refers to the SIB3 or other system message. Manner 2: The base station sends a counting weight factor through an RRC dedicated signaling message; the RRC dedicated signaling refers to an RRC connection reconfiguration message. For example, for the UE in the idle state, mode 1 can be used. For the UE in the connected state, mode 1 and mode 2 can be used. It should be noted that if the base station does not send the counting weighting factor to the UE, the default counting weight factor of the UE is 1, which can save air interface resources and avoid missing cells in the mobile state estimation. As a preferred implementation, step S4 may adopt the following manner: if the cell change is included in the mobile state estimation, the UE adds its counting weight factor to the cell change number; the UE performs mobile state estimation according to the cell change number. As another preferred implementation manner, if the counting weighting factor of the cell changes, the base station informs the UE of the counting weighting factor of the cell update. The notification processing can be performed in the following two ways: Mode 1: The base station sends the updated counting weight factor through the system broadcast message; the system broadcast message refers to the SIB3 or other system message. Manner 2: The base station sends the updated counting weight factor through the RRC dedicated signaling message; the RRC dedicated signaling refers to the RRC connection reconfiguration message. For example, for the UE in the idle state, mode 1 can be used. For the UE in the connected state, mode 1 and mode 2 can be used. The second embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile state estimation method. The present embodiment is based on the typical deployment scenario of the hetnet described in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the low power node (LPN) includes the following Class: Relay node, pico, He B, and the size of each cell, that is, the coverage range is quite different. The LPN node can be deployed in the macro cell as a hotspot coverage to share the load of the macro cell. It can also be deployed in the macro cell and used as coverage enhancement to supplement the coverage area of the macro cell. The macro and the pico eNB can exchange signaling through the X2 interface. FIG. 8 is a first flowchart of a mobile state estimation method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the flow of the method includes the following steps: Step S802: The base station sets a counting weight factor, or a network management pipe element. The counting weight factor is set by OAM. The counting weighting factor is a real number greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. When the cell change does not count in the mobile state estimation, its counting weight factor is set to 0, for example: when the LPN node is deployed in the macro cell coverage as the hotspot coverage, the cell reselects or switches to the cell under the LPN node. The mobile state estimation is not included; when the counting weighting factor is not 0, the counting weighting factor may be set according to the coverage of the cell. Step S804: The base station sends the counting weight factor to the UE. The idle (IDLE) state UE reselects from the source cell to the serving cell by cell reselection, or the connected state UE switches from the source cell to the serving cell. The IDLE state UE can obtain the counting weight factor through the system broadcast message SIB3. The connected state UE may obtain the counting weighting factor through the system broadcast message or the RRC proprietary signaling RRC connection reconfiguration message sent by the base station. In addition, if the base station does not send the counting weighting factor to the UE, the UE defaults the counting weight factor to be 1; Step S806: The UE uses the counting weighting factor to accumulate the number of cell changes. If the cell that is reselected or switched to is not the same as the serving cell before the source cell, the UE counts the cell change into the mobile state estimation, and the UE accumulates the counting weight factor corresponding to the cell change to the cell change number. Step S808: The UE performs mobile state estimation according to the number of cell changes. The specific criterion is as follows: If the number of cell changes is greater than NCR-H within a certain duration TCRmax, the UE determines to be a high-speed mobile state; if the number of cell changes is greater than NCR_M and less than NCR-H within a certain duration TCRmax, the UE Determined to be a medium speed moving state; If the medium speed moving state or the high speed moving state is not detected within the certain time length TCRmaxHyst, the UE determines to be the normal moving state; Step S810: The UE adjusts the relevant parameter according to the estimated moving state for performing cell reselection or switching. If the UE is in the IDLE state, the speed-based cell reselection adjustment parameter corresponding to the mobile state in the SIB3 is used for corresponding cell reselection, so that the UE with high mobile speed can complete the cell reselection more quickly. If the UE is in the connected state, the speed-based handover measurement event triggering adjustment parameter corresponding to the mobile state obtained in the RRC connection reconfiguration message is adjusted accordingly, and the measurement event triggering for the handover is performed, so that the UE with high mobile speed can be faster. Complete the switch.

In the deployment scenario of the embodiment, the cell weighting factor of the cell 2 is 0, that is, the cell reselection or handover to the cell does not count the UE mobile state estimation, and the UE moves from the macro cell 1 to the LPN in the macro cell range. Cell 2 under the node. If the number of cell changes is n when the UE is in the macro cell, the number of cell changes after the UE handover or cell reselection to the cell 2 remains unchanged.
