一种测量处理方法及设备
技术领域
本发明涉及移动通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种测量处理方法及设备。 背景技术
随着移动通信和信息技术的发展, 用户对数据业务的需求日益增长。 目 前的主流移动通信网络, 无论是釆用 GSM ( Global System For Mobile Communication, 全球移动通信系统) /GPRS ( General Packet Radio Service , 通用无线分组业务) 的第 2 代 /第 2.5 代移动通信网络, 还是釆用 UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 通用移动通信系统)的第 3 代移动通信网络, 都是由运营商统一规划部署的同构网络(Homogeneous Network ) , 同构网络一旦部署, 一定区域内网络的容量固定。
为了满足日益井喷的数据业务需求, 需要运营商部署更多的同构网络站 点, 但一方面, 部署和维护传统同构宏网络站点费用高昂, 另一方面, 即使 在原有网络基础上部署大量新站点, 各站点一旦部署, 其网络容量固定, 不 能适应网络中局部地区业务负载变化的需求和服务质量( Quality of Service, QoS ) 变化的需求。
为此, 第 4 代移动通信在原有同构网络的基础上部署一些低功率节点 ( Lower Power Node, 简称为 LPN ) , 包括低功率微基站( pico eNB ) , 家 庭基站( HeNB/CSG/femto ) , 中继节点 (relay )等。 这些低功率节点由于其 发射功率比较低, 因此相对于传统运营商统一部署的基站(eNB, NB等)所 覆盖的宏小区 (macro cell ) , 这些低功率节点所覆盖的小区可统称为微小区 或者小小区 (small cell)。
低功率节点部署灵活, 比如可以部署在热点区域, 增加热点区域的覆盖, 如图 1所示是一种低功率节点热点覆盖的示意图。 低功率节点可以根据用户 数量灵活的部署在热点区域, 增加热点区域的网络容量, 减轻热点区域宏小 区的负荷。 低功率节点还可以部署在小区边缘, 增强小区边缘的覆盖, 图 2 为一种低功率节点小区边缘覆盖的示意图, 可以有效增强小区边缘的覆盖, 提高小区边缘用户的 Qos。 此外, 低功率节点还可以部署在室内, 增强室内 覆盖, 图 3所示为一种低功率节点室内覆盖的示意图, 可以有效增强室内覆 盖, 提高室内用户的 Qos, 满足室内用户的大业务量需求, 同时减轻宏小区 的负荷。
低功率节点的部署, 可以在传统宏小区基础上增强小区覆盖, 增加网络 容量, 分担宏小区负荷, 增强特定用户的业务质量。 然而, 低功率节点由于 其发射功率低, 其小区覆盖范围相对传统宏小区小很多, 因此, 如何有效及 时的检测到用户设备( User Equipment, UE ) 附近的小小区, 并及时迁移到 信号质量足够好、允许 UE驻留的小小区上,与此同时又不消耗太多 UE电量, 直接关系到低功率节点部署所带来的对系统增益的提升量。 综上所述, 目前 尚未有相关的解决方案来实现小小区的有效及时检测。 发明内容

LTE系统中,连接态 UE对服务小区的测量不受限制,也即 UE可以时刻 测量服务小区, 目的在于实时检测服务小区的信号质量, 当服务小区信号质 量变差时, 可以及时通知基站, 从而确保 UE的业务质量。 而对于服务小区 之外的邻区的测量,为了避免 UE频繁测量邻区导致 UE耗电量的增加,基站 会为 UE配置一个邻区测量开启门限(S-measure ) , 当服务小区的信号质量 高于或等于 S-measure时, 表明服务小区的信号质量足够好, UE在服务小区 的业务质量可以得到保证, 因此不需要开启对邻区的测量, 只有当服务小区 的信号质量低于 S-measure时, UE才开启对邻区的测量, 目的在于及时测量 到信号质量足够好的邻区并通知基站, 让基站做出移动性管理判决。
频繁测量邻区会导致 UE耗电量增加之外, 尤其对于与服务小区异频点 的邻区的测量, 对于没有多套射频设备的 UE而言, UE需要将射频中心频点 转换到异频点上才能进行异频邻区的测量, 在对异频邻区测量的时间内, UE 在服务小区的业务传输将被迫中断, 这一定程度上会影响 UE的通信质量, 因此 LTE系统中, 基站在服务小区信号足够好时, 一般不会为 UE配置异频 测量参数, 只有当服务小区信号下降到一定程度时, 基站才会为 UE配置异 频测量参数。 具体的, 基站为 UE配置 A2事件(服务小区的信号质量小于门 限) , 当服务小区的信号质量满足 A2事件时, UE向基站上报 A2事件, 基 站收到 A2事件后, 判断服务小区的信号质量下降, 可以为 UE配置异频测量 参数。
由于传统同构宏网络中, 各小区的部署为六边形宏蜂窝部署(如图 4所 示) , 以上根据服务小区的信号质量确定是否测量邻区的机制就是针对这种 宏蜂窝设计的。而引入 LPN后,上述测量机制不利于 LPN所覆盖的小小区的 及时检测。 如图 5所示为测量开启门限导致小小区无法及时检测的示意图,图中 UE 当前所驻留的宏小区覆盖范围内有两个 LPN, 分别对应小小区 1和小小区 2。 基站为 UE配置了 S-measure, 由于小小区 1所在位置 UE所测量到的服务小 区的信号质量高于 S-measure, 因此 UE即使接近甚至进入了小小区 1的覆盖 范围, UE也不会及时开启邻区测量, 从而导致基站无法将 UE及时迁移到小 小区 1 , 导致小小区 1无法有效分担宏小区的负荷。
如图 6所示为异频小小区无法及时检测的示意图, 图中 UE当前所驻留 的宏小区 (工作频率为 fl )覆盖范围内有两个 LPN, 分别对应异频小小区 3 和异频小小区 4 (工作频率均为 £2 ) 。 基站为 UE配置了 A2事件, 由于小小 区 3所在位置 UE所测量到的服务小区的信号质量不满足 A2事件, 因此基站 可能并不会为 UE配置频率 £2的测量参数, 因此 UE即使接近甚至进入了小 小区 3的覆盖范围, UE也不会及时开启 £2异频邻区的测量, 从而导致基站 无法将 UE及时迁移到小小区 3 , 导致小小区 3无法有效分担宏小区的负荷。
LTE系统中, 空闲态(RRC— IDLE态) UE的测量也和连接态类似, 对于 服务小区, UE可以随时测量。对于频率优先级比服务小区所在频率优先级高 的频点, UE可以随时测量。 而对于同频邻区和频率优先级比服务小区所在的 频率优先级低或者与服务小区所在的频率优先级相等的频点, 如果服务小区 的信号质量足够好(高于基站通知 UE的测量开启门限), UE可以不测量这 些频点上的邻区。 因此, 对于部署在与服务小区所在的频率优先级相等或比 服务小区所在的频率的优先级低的频点上, 或者部署在服务小区所在频点上 的小小区, 也会存在 UE无法及时检测这些小小区的问题。
为了及时检测到小小区,从而最终保证 LPN的部署能有效增强小区覆盖, 增加网络容量, 分担宏小区负荷, 本发明的实施例提出了一种测量处理方法。 如图 7和如图 8分别是本发明方案在 RRC连接态和 RRC空闲态的方案流程 图。
对于 RRC连接态, 本实施方式的方案是这样实现的:
步骤 S701 : 基站配置针对小小区测量的邻区检测事件, 以下也称作小小 区检测事件, 但该方案并不仅限于小小区测量。
具体的, 基站根据其覆盖范围内各个小小区的位置信息, 配置小小区检 测事件, 比如配置小小区 X的小小区检测事件为 A7事件:
A7事件进入条件: 服务小区信号质量―门限 1<服务小区信号质量 <服务 小区信号质量―门限 2;
A7事件离开条件:服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量—门限 1或者服 务小区信号质量^良务小区信号质量—门限 2。
再比如, 配置小小区 Y的小小区检测事件 A2事件:
A2事件进入条件: 服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量―门限 1。
A2事件离开条件: 服务小区信号质量 >服务小区信号质量―门限 1。
基站通过 RRC专用信令通知 UE所述配置的小小区检测事件。
步骤 S702: 服务小区信号质量满足小小区检测事件的触发条件, UE向 基站上报测量报告;
具体的, 当服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的进入条件, 或者 服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的离开条件时, UE向基站上报测量 报告, 测量报告中上报服务小区的信号质量。
步骤 S703: 基站收到测量报告后, 重配置 (也即配置, 后文同此说明)
S-measure; 或者通知 UE开启 /停止所述小小区检测事件所对应小小区所在频 率的测量;或者通知 UE开启 /停止所述小小区检测事件所对应小小区的测量; 具体的, 当基站接收到服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的进入 条件所触发的测量艮告后, 重配置 S-measure可以为增大 S-measure取值, 或 者配置 S-measure值为一个特殊取值, 基站和 UE约定, 当 S-measure配置为 该特殊值时, UE对邻区的测量不受 S-measure限制。
具体的, 当基站收到服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的进入条 件所触发的测量报告后, 基站通知 UE开启所述小小区检测事件所对应小小 区所在频率的测量, 或者通知 UE开启所述小小区检测事件所对应小小区的 测量。
具体的, 当基站收到服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的离开条 件所触发的测量报告后, 基站通知 UE停止所述小小区检测事件所对应小小 区所在频率的测量, 或者通知 UE停止所述小小区检测事件所对应小小区的 测量。
当基站接收到服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的进入条件所触 发的测量报告后, 基站还可以为所述小小区测量事件所对应小小区所在频率 配置测量参数。 具体比如, 若基站在收到 S702之前尚未为所述小小区测量事 件所对应小小区所在的频率配置测量参数,则基站为所述频率配置测量参数。
当基站接收到服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的离开条件所触 发的测量报告后, 基站还可以通知 UE删除所述小小区测量事件所对应小小 区所在频率的测量配置参数。
步骤 S704、 UE开启 /停止邻区测量。
具体的, 若步骤 S703基站收到测量报告后为 UE重配置 S-measure, 则
UE根据所述 S-measure,判断服务小区的信号质量小于所述 S-measure时,开 启基站为 UE配置的所有频率的测量;
若步骤 S703基站收到测量报告后通知 UE开启 /停止所述小小区检测事件 所对应小小区所在频率的测量, 则 UE开启 /停止测量所述频率;
若步骤 S703基站收到测量报告后通知 UE开启 /停止所述小小区检测事件 所对应小区的测量, 则基站开启 /停止测量所述小小区。
特别的, 对于与 UE的服务小区同频的小小区, UE在步骤 S702上报了 所述测量报告后, 可以直接开启 /停止同频邻区测量。 具体的, 当步骤 S702 当服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的进入条件时, UE直接开启同频 邻区测量,当步骤 S702当服务小区的信号质量满足小小区检测事件的离开条 件时, UE直接停止同频邻区测量。
若运营商分配频率资源时, 为 LPN预留了 LPN专用频率资源, 则本发 明方案在 RRC连接态的实现还可以是这样的:
LPN专用频率上的测量参数, UE对专用频率的测量,
Figure imgf000015_0001
对于 RRC空闲态, 本实施方式的方案是这样实现的:
步骤 S801、 基站广播小小区测量开启条件。 具体的, 基站根据其覆盖范围内各个小小区的位置信息, 广播小小区测 量开启条件。 基站可通过同频或者异频邻区列表广播各小小区的测量开启条 件门限值, 比如, 若 UE服务小区所在覆盖范围内存在一个同频的小小区, 基站可以在同频邻区列表中广播该小小区的物理小区标识, 并广播该小小区 的测量开启条件。
步骤 S802、 服务小区信号质量满足小小区测量开启条件: 即服务小区的 信号质量满足步骤 S801所述测量开启条件门限值。
步骤 S803、 UE开启所述小小区测量开启条件所对应小小区所在频率的 测量; 或者 UE开启所述小小区测量开启条件所对应小小区的测量。
此外, 若运营商分配频率资源时, 为 LPN预留了 LPN专用频率资源, 则本发明方案在 RRC空闲态的实现还可以是这样的:
宏基站设置 LPN专用频率优先级为最高, 并通过系统消息广播给 UE。 或者, 宏基站通过系统消息广播 LPN专用频率, UE在进行小区重选测量时, 默认 LPN专用频率的频率优先级最高。
下文中将结合附图对本发明的实施例进行详细说明。 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任意组合。
实施例一
如图 9所示的网络覆盖示意图所示, UE在宏小区建立了 RRC连接, 在 该宏小区覆盖范围内, 部署有两个与该宏小区同频的小小区, 分别为小小区 1和小小区 2。 宏小区所属基站可以通过 OAM ( Operation Administration and Maintenance, 操作管理维护), 或者通过宏基站与小小区所在 LPN之间的接 口获知其覆盖范围内各小小区的位置信息。 本实施例中, 当前宏基站已经为 UE配置的测量参数 S-measure的值为 S-measurel。
为了及时检测到如图 9所示的小小区, 本实施例中, 宏基站利用各小小 区的位置信息为 UE配置小小区检测事件, 即宏基站可以获知各小小区在宏 小区覆盖范围内所处位置所对应宏小区的信号质量, 根据所述宏小区的信号 质量配置小小区检测事件。 具体的, 对于小小区 1 , 基站为 UE配置如下事件:
事件进入条件:
服务小区信号质量—门限 1<服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量—门限 2 公式( 1 )
事件离开条件:
服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量—门限 1 , 或者, 服务小区信号质 量>服务小区信号质量—门限 2 公式(2 )
为描述方便, 本文中称该事件为 A7事件, 其中服务小区信号质量―门限 1<Λ良务小区信号质量—门限 2。
当服务小区的信号质量满足 Α7事件的进入条件, 即满足公式(1 )所示 的条件时, UE向宏基站上报由 Α7事件的进入触发的测量报告, 测量报告中 上才艮 Λ良务小区的信号质量。
宏基站接收到上述测量报告后, 根据服务小区的信号质量是否满足上述 事件, 就可以判断 UE是否已经接近小小区 1。 当宏基站判断 UE已经接近小 小区 1时,宏基站为 UE重配置测量参数,具体为提高 S-measure至 S-measure2 ( S-measure2的取值大于或等于门限 2 );或者配置 S-measure值为 S-measure2, S-measure2为一个特殊取值 (比如 0 ) , 基站和 UE约定, 当 S-measure配置 为该特殊值时, UE对邻区的测量不受 S-measure限制, 即 UE测量基站配置 的所有频点上的邻区时, 不受服务小区信号质量高低的影响。
或者, 宏基站接收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经接近小小区 1 , 宏基 站通知 UE开启同频邻区测量, 或通知 UE测量小小区 1。
或者, UE向宏基站上报上述测量报告后, UE忽略 S-measurel的限制, 主动开始同频邻区测量, 即不论当前服务小区信号质量高低, UE直接打开同 频邻区测量。
当服务小区的信号质量满足 A7 事件的进入条件之后, 如果服务小区的 信号质量满足 A7事件的离开条件, 即满足公式(2 )所示的条件时, UE向 宏基站上报由 A7事件的离开条件触发的测量报告,测量报告中上报服务小区 的信号质量。 宏基站接收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经离开小小区 1 ,宏基站可以 为 UE重配置测量参数 S-measure, 宏基站配置 S-measure时可以不需要考虑 小小区 1 , 比如降低 S-measure的值至 S-measure 1 , 不再将 S-measure的值配 置为特殊取值。
或者, 宏基站收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经离开小小区 1 , 宏基站 通知 UE停止同频邻区测量, 或通知 UE停止测量小小区 1 , 同频测量的启动 与否继续受所配置的 S-measurel的控制。
或者, 宏基站收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经离开小小区 1 , UE测 量同频邻区时, 不再忽略 S-measurel的限制, 即同频测量的启动与否继续受 所配置的 S-measurel的控制。
具体的,对于小小区 2,基站也可以为 UE配置 A7事件, 因本实施例中, 由于小小区 2位于宏小区边缘, 基站可以为 UE配置 A2事件:
事件进入条件: 服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量—门限 1 公式 ( 3 )
事件离开条件: 服务小区信号质量 >服务小区信号质量—门限 1 公式
( 4 )
当服务小区的信号质量满足 A2事件的进入条件时, 即满足公式(3 )所 示的条件时, UE向宏基站上报由 A2事件的进入条件所触发的测量报告, 测 量报告中上报服务小区的信号质量。
宏基站接收到 A2事件触发的测量报告后,可以釆取与上述接收到 A7事 件进入条件触发的测量报告后的类似行为, 或者, UE向宏基站上报测量报告 后,可以釆取与上述上报 A7事件进入条件触发的测量报告后类似的行为,此 处不再赘述。
相应的, 当服务小区的信号质量满足 A2 事件的进入条件之后, 如果服 务小区的信号质量后续满足 A2事件的离开条件, 即满足公式(4 )所示的条 件时, UE向宏基站上报由 A2事件的离开条件所触发的测量报告, 测量报告 中上才艮月良务小区的信号质量。 宏基站接收到 A2 事件的离开条件所触发的测量报告后, 可以釆取与上 述接收到 A7事件离开触发的测量报告后的类似行为, 或者, UE向宏基站上 报测量报告后,可以釆取与上述上报 A7事件离开条件触发的测量报告后类似 的行为, 此处不再赘述。
本实施例中, 服务小区的信号质量, 是指服务小区的 RSRP ( Reference
Signal Received Power,参考信号接收功率)测量结果,或者 RSRQ ( Reference Signal Received Quality, 参考信号接收质量)测量结果。 相应的, 上述各服务 小区信号质量―门限, 对应服务小区的信号质量为 RSRP测量结果时为 RSRP 门限值, 对应于服务小区的信号质量为 RSRQ测量结果时为 RSRQ门限值, 以下所有实施例同此说明。
实施例二
如图 10所示的网络覆盖示意图所示, UE在宏小区 (工作频点为 fl )建 立了 RRC连接, 在该宏小区覆盖范围内, 部署有两个与该宏小区异频的小小 区 (工作频点为 £2 ) , 分别为小小区 3和小小区 4。 宏小区所属基站可以通 过 OAM或者通过宏基站与小小区所在 LPN之间的接口获知其覆盖范围内各 小小区的位置信息。 本实施例中, 当前宏基站已经为 UE 配置的测量参数 S-measure的值为 S-measurel。
为了及时检测到如图 10所示的小小区, 本实施例中, 宏基站利用各小小 区的位置为 UE配置小小区检测事件。
具体的, 对于小小区 3 , 基站为 UE配置如下事件:
事件进入条件:
服务小区信号质量—门限 3<服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量—门限 4 公式( 5 )
其中, 门限 3、 门限 4具体的配置是由小小区所处的宏小区的覆盖位置 的信号质量决定。
事件离开条件:
服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量—门限 3 或者服务小区信号质量> 服务小区信号质量—门限 4 公式( 6 )
为描述方便, 本文中称该事件为 A7事件, 其中服务小区信号质量―门限 1<Λ良务小区信号质量—门限 2。
当服务小区的信号质量满足 Α7事件的进入条件, 即满足公式(5 )所示 的条件时, UE向宏基站上报由 Α7事件的进入条件触发的测量报告, 测量报 告中上才艮月良务小区的信号质量。
宏基站接收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经接近小小区 3 ,如果宏基站 在此前尚未为 UE配置 £2的测量参数, 则宏基站为 UE配置频点 £2的测量参 数, 并且宏基站重配置 S-measure为 S-measure2, 使得 S-measure2的取值大 于或等于门艮 4, 或者西己置 S-measure值为 S-measure2, S-measure2为——个特 殊取值 (比如 0 ) , 基站和 UE约定, 当 S-measure配置为该特殊值时, UE 对邻区的测量不受 S-measure限制,即 UE测量基站配置的所有频点上的邻区 时, 不受服务小区信号质量高低的影响; 如果宏基站在此前已经为 UE配置 £2的测量参数, 则宏基站重配置 S-measure, 具体配置方法同上。
或者, 宏基站接收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经接近小小区 3 , 如果 宏基站在此前尚未为 UE配置 £2的测量参数, 则宏基站为 UE配置频点 £2的 测量参数, 并且通知 UE开启 £2频点上的邻区测量; 如果宏基站在此前已经 为 UE配置 £2的测量参数, 则宏基站通知 UE开启 £2频点上的邻区测量。
或者, 宏基站接收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经接近小小区 3 , 宏基 站为 UE配置频点 £2的测量参数 (若此前宏基站尚未为 UE配置 £2的测量参 数) , 并且通知 UE测量小小区 3。
当服务小区的信号质量满足 Α7 事件的进入条件之后, 如果服务小区的 信号质量满足 Α7事件的离开条件, 即满足公式(6 )所示的条件时, UE向 宏基站上报由 Α7事件的离开条件触发的测量报告,测量报告中上报服务小区 的信号质量。
宏基站接收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经离开小小区 3 ,宏基站可以 为 UE重配置测量参数 S-measure, 宏基站配置 S-measure时可以不需要考虑 小小区 3 , 比如降低 S-measure的值至 S-measure 1 , 不再将 S-measure的值配 置为特殊取值, 同时, 宏基站还可以通知 UE删除 £2的测量参数。
或者, 宏基站收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经离开小小区 3 , 宏基站 通知 UE停止 £2频点上的邻区测量, 或宏基站通知 UE删除 £2的测量参数。
或者, 宏基站收到上述测量报告后, 判断 UE已经离开小小区 3 , 宏基站 通知 UE停止搜索测量小小区 3 , 或宏基站通知 UE删除 £2的测量参数。
具体的,对于小小区 4,基站也可以为 UE配置 Α7事件, 因本实施例中, 由于小小区 4位于宏小区边缘, 基站可以为 UE配置 Α2事件:
事件进入条件: 服务小区信号质量 <服务小区信号质量—门限 5 公式
( 7 )
事件离开条件: 服务小区信号质量 >服务小区信号质量—门限 5 公式
( 8 )
当服务小区的信号质量满足 Α2事件的进入条件时, 即满足公式(7 )所 示的条件时, UE向宏基站上报由 Α2事件的进入条件所触发的测量报告, 测 量报告中上报服务小区的信号质量。
宏基站接收到 Α2 事件的进入条件所触发的测量报告后, 可以釆取与上 述接收到 Α7事件的进入条件触发的测量报告后类似的行为, 此处不再赘述。
相应的, 当服务小区的信号质量满足 Α2 事件的进入条件之后, 如果服 务小区的信号质量后续满足 Α2事件的离开条件, 即满足公式(8 )所示的条 件时, UE向宏基站上报由 Α2事件的离开条件所触发的测量报告, 测量报告 中上才艮月良务小区的信号质量。
宏基站接收到 Α2 事件的离开条件所触发的测量报告后, 可以釆取与上 述接收到 Α7事件的离开条件触发的测量报告后类似的行为, 此处不再赘述。
釆用实施例一和实施例二所述的方法, 利用小小区的位置信息配置针对 各小小区的检测事件, 可以及时检测到 UE将接近小小区并上报给基站, 通 过基站的配置调整, UE可以及时检测到小小区, 于此同时又不过多增加耗电 量。
实施例三 本实施例中, 运营商分配频率资源时, 专门预留部分频率资源用于 LPN 的部署, 在这些专门预留的频率资源上, 只部署 LPN, 不部署宏基站, 本文 中称这些频率资源为 LPN专用频率资源, 也即, 所有小小区都工作在专用频 率资源上。
UE在宏小区建立了 RRC连接, 为了及时检测小小区, 本实施例中, 宏 基站为 UE配置 LPN专用频率上的测量参数, 具体的, UE—旦在宏基站建 立 RRC连接, 宏基站就可以为 UE配置 LPN专用频率上的测量参数;
UE对专用频率的测量, 不受 S-measure限制, 即 UE测量专用频率上的 邻区时, 不受服务小区信号质量高低的影响。
釆用本实施例所述的方法, 可以及时检测到 LPN专用频率上的小小区。
