Description

一种估计终端移动状态的方法和装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信系统,尤其涉及一种在移动通信系统中估计终端移动状态的方法 和装置。 背景技术
在无线移动通信系统中, 为了保证终端的移动性, 终端需要在连接模式下进行切 换或者在空闲模式下进行小区重选。
在连接模式下, 为了保证切换的正确触发, 终端需要通过 RRM (Radio Resource
Management)测量信号质量,如果在规定的一段时间内(称之为触发时间 (TTT: Time to Trigger) ), 测量结果一直能够满足一定条件(称之为事件的触发条件), 那么, 终 端就会向基站报告测量结果。基站可以根据测量结果来决定是否启动切换过程。如图 1 所示, 如果触发事件定义为 "当前服务小区的信号质量低于某个阈值", 那么只有 在测量值在触发时间内一直低于这个阈值, 终端才会向基站报告测量结果。
在这个过程中, 触发时间和事件的触发条件都可以影响切换的成功率。例如, 当 触发事件是"当前服务小区的信号质量低于某个阈值"时, 这个触发事件可以作为触 发切换的条件。因为服务小区从得到测量报告到触发切换、切换执行还需要额外的时 间, 当阈值规定的过低时, 有可能会发生虽然终端已经将测量结果报告上去, 但是当 前服务小区的信号质量迅速恶化, 已经无法执行随后的触发切换等动作, 这时就会出 现终端的掉话。当阈值规定的过高时, 又可能出现当前服务小区的信号质量还足以维 持与终端的通信, 但是目标小区的信号质量还不足够好的情况, 这时, 也会出现终端 的掉话问题。 与此同时, 触发时间也可以影响切换的效果。 当触发时间过长时, 服务 小区的质量会额外的恶化, 这个时候服务小区的服务质量不足以支持后续的切换操 作, 由此导致终端发生掉话。 当触发时间过短时, 服务小区的质量可能只是发生短暂 波动,信号质量很可能会很快恢复, 而这个时候终端从当前服务小区切走而目标小区 的质量又不足够好, 这个时候终端就容易掉话。
目前, 触发时间的设定与很多条件相关, 比如: 信道的静态变化情况与终端的速 度。信道的静态变化情况指的是当终端静止时, 终端与基站之间的信道变化情况: 如 果信道波动范围较大, 那么一般情况下, 需要把触发时间设定的较长, 来平滑信道的 过大波动; 反之, 如果信道波动范围较少, 较平稳, 触发时间可以设定较短。 考虑终 端速度时, 终端速度越快, 触发时间需要较短一些, 以防止信道随着用户位置变化迅 速的变化; 反之, 终端速度较慢, 则需要将触发时间设定较长一些。
由于信道的静态变化情况非常难以判断,在现有网络中,一般先根据一般意义下 的情况设定触发时间, 如果要进行修正, 则由终端估计自己的移动状态, 查找到对应 的修正因子,对原来的触发时间乘以这个修正因子。一般来讲, 修正因子一般小于 1, 速度越快, 修正因子越小。
同样的, 在空闲模式下, 当终端进行小区重选时, 终端也需要对相邻基站进行测 量,用来判断是否重选到相邻小区。只有在整个重选时间内相邻小区的测量评估结果 都好于当前服务小区, 终端才可以重选到相邻小区。重选中的重选时间与切换中的触 发时间类似, 也需要根据终端的移动状态对重选时间进行修正。
另外, 当终端处于空闲模式下,对服务小区的测量评估也需要通过与其移动状态 相关的修正引子进行修正:速度越快,修正因子使得对当前服务小区的评估更加不利, 趋向于重选到相邻小区; 速度越慢, 修正因子使得对当前服务小区的评估更加有利, 趋向于继续在当前小区接收服务。
发明人在实现本发明的过程中发现,现有系统对终端移动状态的估计方案, 要么 没有考虑移动路径上小区的大小, 要么在终端移动过程中发生了重复计数, 要么在终 端移动过程中发生了遗漏计数, 导致对终端移动状态的估计不准确。

参照附图, 通过下面的说明书, 本发明实施例的前述以及其它特征将变得明显。 这些实施方式只是示例性的, 不是对本发明的限制。
在本发明实施例中, 为了表述方便, 在对终端进行移动状态估计的过程中, 对于 宏小区和其覆盖范围之内的较小小区称之为一个 "组", 对于独立的宏小区 (即没有 较小小区在覆盖范围之内)或者独立的较小小区(即没有宏小区覆盖自己)也称之为 一个"组"。 其中, 宏小区例如可以是 eNB (evolved Node B, 演进型基站)覆盖的小 区,较小小区例如可以是 RRH (Remote Radio Head,远端无线头)、 Pico (微微基站)、 Relay (中继)、 HeNB (Home eNB, 家庭基站) 等覆盖的小区。
本发明实施例提供了一种估计终端移动状态的方法, 如下面的实施例 1所述。 实施例 1
图 2是本发明实施例提供的估计终端移动状态的方法流程图, 请参照图 2, 该方 法包括:
步骤 201 : 终端根据接收到的网络拓扑信息确定切换或小区重选是发生在组间还 是组内;
步骤 202: 如果切换或小区重选发生在组间, 则终端根据组间大小对所述切换或 小区重选进行计数; 如果切换或小区重选发生在组内, 则终端根据组内移动计数结果 对所述切换或小区重选进行计数;
步骤 203: 终端根据计数结果估计终端的移动状态。
在步骤 201中, 为了让终端能够识别出切换或小区重选是发生在组内还是组间, 基站会向该终端发送网络拓扑信息, 通过该网络拓扑信息指示当前小区的顶层小区, 也即覆盖自己的小区。如果没有别的小区覆盖自己, 则认为当前小区的顶层小区是自 己。 在一个实施例中, 基站可以通过单播或广播的方式向终端发送该网络拓扑信息。 在一个实施例中, 该网络拓扑信息还可以包括顶层小区的识别符。具体基站侧的处理 将在以下的实施例中加以说明。通过该网络拓扑信息, 终端可以确定切换或小区重组 是发生在组间, 还是发生在组内。
例如, 终端从小区 1切换到小区 2, 如果小区 1和小区 2报告的顶层小区都是自 己, 则终端可以确定该切换发生在组间, 如图 3 (a) 所示; 如果小区 1报告的顶层 小区是自己,而小区 2报告的顶层小区是小区 1,则终端可以确定该切换发生在组内, 如图 3 (b)所示; 如果小区 1报告的顶层小区是小区 2, 小区 2报告的顶层小区是自 己, 则终端可以确定该切换发生在组内, 如图 3 (c) 所示。
在步骤 202中,组间大小可以是组内宏小区的大小与终端移动出当前组时在当前 组内的组内计数结果中的最大值,也可以是组内宏小区的大小与终端移动出当前组时 在当前组内的计数结果之和。其中, 当组内没有宏小区时, 组间大小就是终端移动出 当前组时在当前组内的组内计数结果; 当组内没有较小小区时, 组间大小就是组内宏 小区的大小。
例如, 假设终端在其移动的路径中移动出第 N-1组 (这里的 "移动出第 N-1组" 是指终端从第 N-1组切换到第 N组或者从第 N-1组小区重新到第 N组) 时, 其计数 结果为 R(N-l) ( R(0)=0 ), 则当终端移动出第 N 组时, 其计数结果为 R(N)=R(N-1)+G(N),其中 G(N)为第 N组的组间大小。在一个实施例中, G(N)=max (组 内宏小区大小, g(N)),如果组内没有宏小区,则 G(N)=g(N),如果组内没有较小小区, 也即只有一个宏小区, 则 G(N)=组内宏小区大小。 在另一个实施例中, G(N)=组内宏 小区大小 +g(N)。 其中, g(N)为终端在移动出第 N组时在第 N组内的组内计数结果, 如果组内没有宏小区,则 G(N)=g(N),如果组内没有较小小区,也即只有一个宏小区, 则 G(N)=组内宏小区大小。
在步骤 202中,组内移动计数结果可以是终端对在组内移动时切换或小区重选出 来的较小小区的计数结果,也可以是终端对在组内移动时切换或小区重选出来的较小 小区的计数结果与组内宏小区的大小之和。其中, 当组内没有宏小区时, 组内移动计 数结果就是终端在组内移动时对切换或小区重选出较小小区的计数结果。
例如, 同样假设终端在其移动的路径中移动出第 N-1组(这里的 "移动出第 N-1 组"是指终端从第 N-1组切换到第 N组, 或者从第 N-1组小区重新到第 N组) 时, 其计数结果为 R(N-l) ( R(0)=0 ), 则当终端在第 N 组内移动时, 其计数结果为 r(N,m)=R(N-l)+g(N, m), 其中, g(N, m)是终端移动出第 N组内第 m个较小小区的组 内计数结果。 在一个实施例中, g(N, m)为终端在组内移动时只对切换或重选出来的 较小小区计数的结果, 当组内没有较小小区 (即该组为独立的宏小区) 时, g(N,
Figure imgf000009_0001
在另外一个实施例中, g(N, m)为终端在组内移动时只对切换或重选出来 的较小小区计数结果 +组内宏小区的大小, 其中, g(N, 0)=组内宏小区的大小, 即只要 终端移动进第 N组内, 组内计数的初始值为宏小区的大小。 在这个实施例中, 当组 内没有宏小区时, 组内宏小区的大小为零, 退化为前一个实施例; 当组内没有较小小 区时, g(N, m)= g(N)=宏小区大小。
在步骤 202中, 对于 G(N)和 g(N, m)定义的不同组合, 当 G(N)采用第一种实施 方式而 g(N, m)采用第二种实施方式时, G(N)=g(N)。
为了使本实施例的方法及其效果更加清楚易懂,以下通过具体举例和与现有计数 方法进行对比的方式对本实施例的方法的效果进行说明。
图 4 为终端的移动路径不同导致采用现有的方法对移动状态估计不准确的情形 示意图。如图 4所示,采用现有的计数方法,基站触发终端进行移动状态检测,包括: 基站通过广播(当终端处于空闲模式下)或单播(当终端处于连接模式下)给终端发 送进行触发时间所需要的参数: 计数时间段, 修正的计数时间段, 高阈值、 中阈值。 终端在上述规定的计数时间段内对切换或小区重选次数进行计数。 当计数时间结束 时, 如果计数结果大于高阈值时, 终端判断自己处于高速移动状态; 如果计数结果不 高于高阈值但是高于中阈值, 终端判断自己处于中速移动状态; 如果在修正的计数时 间段内既没有检测出高速移动状态也没有检测出中速移动状态,终端判断自己处于普 通移动状态。在判断出终端的移动状态之后, 由于终端已经提前得到在不同移动状态 下对不同过程(切换或者小区重选)的修正因子, 终端就可以选择出对应于实际判断 出的移动状态的修正因子, 对相应过程进行修正。
然而, 如图 4可知, 终端在对切换或小区重选计数时没有考虑小区的大小。请参 照图 4, 终端分别以同样的实际速度通过路径 1和路径 2移动。 通过路径 1移动时, 由于穿过的小区半径较大, 切换次数明显小于通过路径 2移动时的切换次数。 由此, 终端在两条路径移动时可能得到不同的移动状态。在实际网络中,各个小区的大小可 能差别会比较大, 而且网络的拓扑结构也会比较复杂, 如果在判断终端移动状态时不 考虑小区大小, 都会带来这个问题。
为了克服上述问题,目前提出了多种改进方法,但每种改进方法都各自存在缺陷, 以下通过与本发明实施例的方法进行对比的方式进行说明。
图 5为采用改进方法 1的一个示例。如图 5所示, 基站广播小区的加权大小, 终 端根据接收到的加权大小对移动状态的判断过程进行修正。 比如,宏小区的加权大小 为 1, 微小区的加权大小为 0.3, 这样, 从宏小区切换或小区重选一次, 终端累加 1 ; 而从微小区切换或小区重选一次, 终端累加 0.3。 在这种方法中, 终端的计数结果包 含了小区的大小因素,但是带来了重复计数的问题,使得估计的结果比实际移动速度 要快。 比如, 在图 5中, 当终端沿着虚线移动, 从图中最右边进入小区 1, 在第一次 进入小区 1的计数值为 m。可以看出, 在终端从最左边移动出小区 1时, 终端对小区 1进行了两次计数,对小区 2和 3 各进行了一次计数,计数结果 R=m+2.6。而实际上, 在这个过程中, 最准确的方法应该只对小区 1进行一次计数即可, 即: 最终的计数结 果应该为1 =111+1。
根据本发明实施例提供的方法, 小区 1-3为一个组, 其中, 小区 2和小区 3的顶 层小区是小区 1, 小区 1的顶层小区是自己, 可见, 在终端在图中最左边移动出小区 1时, 即为移动出该组, 则根据组间移动的计数公式, 由于进入小区 1也即进入该组 之前的计数值 R(N-l)为 m,如果采用 G(N)的第一种实施方式和 g(N, m)的第一种实施 方式, 贝 lj g(N)=g(N, 2)=0.6, G(N)=max(l, 0.6)=l , 即该组的组间大小 G(N)为 1, 则得 到该终端的计数结果为: R(N)=R(N-l)+G(N)=m+l。如果采用 G(N)的第一种实施方式 和 g(N, m)的第二种实施方式, 则 g(N)=g(N, 2)==1+0.6=1.6, G(N)=max(l,1.6)=1.6, R(N)=R(N-l)+G(N)=m+1.6。 如果采用 G(N)的第二种实施方式和 g(N, m)的第一种实 施方式, 贝 Ij g(N)=g(N, 2)=0.6, G(N)= 1+0.6=1.6, R(N)=R(N-l)+G(N)=m+1.6。 如果采 用 G(N)的第二种实施方式和 g(N, m)的第二种实施方式, 则 g(N)=g(N, 2)=1.6, G(N)= 1+1.6=2.6, R(N)=R(N-l)+G(N)=m+2.6。 从上述分析可以看出, G(N) 禾 B g(N, m)的不 同实施方式可以带来不同的计数结果, 同时, 如果 G(N) 和 g(N, m)同时采用第二种 实施方式, 其计数结果也会带来的一定的重复计数。 但只要 G(N) 和 g(N, m)不同时 采用各自的第二种实施方式, 都能带来优于现有技术的效果。
图 6和图 7为采用改进方法 2的两个示例。如图 6和图 7所示, 该方法只对网络 中的宏小区进行计数, 对其他较小小区 (比如微小区、 中继基站等)不进行计数。 这 样, 进行计数的小区大小均匀, 对移动预测的结果就比较准确。 为了让终端识别出宏 小区, 可以采取两种方式:
1 ) 将基站的物理识别符域分为两个集合, 宏小区的物理识别符在其中一个独立 集合中选择,其他小区的物理识别符在另外一个集合中选择。 由于物理识别符是终端 进行正常通信、 即使不进行移动状态估计也要获得的信息, 这样, 通过物理识别符域 的划分, 终端就可以自然额外得到 "当前小区是否是宏小区" 的信息。
2) 基站广播新的消息, 来指示自己是否需要被终端计数。 比如, 基站可以广播
1比特的信息位, " 1 "为自己需要被计数, "0"是不可以被计数。
通过以上两种指示方式, 终端可以获知某个基站是否需要被计数。但是, 这种方 法会带来遗漏计数的问题。在图 6中, 若干独立的较小小区 (小区 2和 3) 在终端的移 动路径上, 如果采用指示方式 1, 小区 2和 3 将不被计数。 在图 7中, 若干较小小区 (小区 2~5)在宏小区 1的覆盖范围之内。 当某些终端在整个计数时间段内或者在计 数段快要结束的时间内在小区 1的覆盖范围之内移动, 无论采取方式 1或方式 2, 切 换出小区 2~5将不会被计数, 如此就会产生遗漏计数的问题。 如果产生了遗漏计数, 会造成估计的移动状态低于实际速度的情况。
根据本发明实施例的方法, 对于图 6的场景, 每一个小区都是一个组, 可见, 该 终端的移动过程属于组间移动, 对于小区 1、 4, 每一个组只有一个宏小区, 对于小 区 2、 3, 每一个组只有一个较小小区, 则根据本发明实施例的组间计数方式, 得到 该终端移动的计数结果为:两个宏小区(小区 1和小区 4)的大小和两个较小小区(小 区 2和小区 3) 的组内计数结果之和。 假设小区 4为终端在计数过程中移动出的第 N 个组, 则 R (N) =R(n-4)+G (N-3) +G (N-2) +G (N-1 ) +G (N) = R(n-4)+宏小区 1的大小 +较小小区 2的大小 +较小小区 3的大小 +宏小区 4的大小。对于图 7的场景, 小区 1-5为一个组,可见,该终端在小区 1内的移动过程属于组内移动。假定小区 1~5 所在的组为终端在计数过程中进入的第 N个组, 小区 2~4是终端在第 N组内移动出 去的第 1~3个较小小区,则根据本发明实施例的组内计数方式的第一种计数方式,得 到该终端移动的计数结果为: r ( N,3 ) =R ( N-l ) +g ( N,3 ) = R ( N-l ) +较小小区 2 的大小 +较小小区 3的大小 +较小小区 4的大小。
本发明实施例提出了一种在移动通信系统中估计终端移动状态的新方法。基站将 网络的部署信息发送给终端, 比如高层小区的识别符。根据接收到的信息, 终端可以 判断切换或小区重选是发生在组内部还是组之间。如果是发生在组的内部, 终端在计 数时考虑组内计数结果; 如果发生在组之间, 终端在计数时还要考虑组间大小。通过 这种方式, 以较少的信令代价, 提高了估计的精确度, 不仅预测结果更加准确, 适用 的场景更加广泛, 且空口信令简单。
本发明实施例还提供了一种估计终端移动状态的方法, 如下面的实施例 2所述。 实施例 2
图 8为本发明实施例提供的估计终端移动状态的方法的流程图,该方法应用于基 站, 请参照图 8, 该方法包括:
步骤 801 : 基站将网络拓扑信息通过广播或者单播方式提供给终端, 以便终端根 据所述网络拓扑信息确定切换或小区重选是发生在组间还是组内,并根据确定结果对 所述切换或小区重选进行计数, 然后根据计数结果估计终端的移动状态。
其中, 所述网络拓扑信息包括当前小区的顶层小区及其识别符。
在本实施例中, 为了让终端能够识别出切换或小区重选是发生在组内还是组间, 基站可以采用广播或单播的方式将相关的网络拓扑信息提供给终端。具体来讲,基站 可以通知终端, 当前小区的顶层小区(即覆盖自己的小区)是哪一个小区, 例如自己 或者其他小区, 如果是自己, 可以不单独报告(实际上, 自己的识别符在其他过程中 可以得到); 如果是其他小区, 还可以报告这个顶层小区的识别符是什么。 其中, 小 区的识别符可以是小区的物理识别符或者其他类型的小区标识。这样, 当终端在切换 或小区重选时,发现目标小区和源小区的顶层小区不同时, 则判断为切换或小区重选 是发生在组间; 其他情况下, 判断为切换或小区重选是发生在组内。进而通过实施例 1的方法进行终端的移动状态的估计。 这里需要指出的是, 在实际网络部署中, 小区可能被很多层覆, 两层, 三层或者 更多。 这里的顶层, 优选的为覆盖面积最大的那一层。 同时, 在实际网络中, 可能某 个小区不是完整地被其他小区覆盖, 只是部分覆盖, 或者某个小区被两个或更多小区 同时覆盖, 这个时候, 网络侧可以根据实际情况设定分组, 比如, 可以将被部分覆盖 的小区设定为独立的组, 也可以与其他小区组成一个组,每个组内的顶层小区也可以 根据实际情况由网络侧设定。此外, 本发明所指的小区大小, 可以是小区的实际物理 尺寸, 比如半径或者直径, 也可以是网络根据需要设定的逻辑大小, 比如加权大小, 小区的大小等级等。
本发明实施例提出了一种在移动通信系统中估计终端移动状态的新方法。基站将 网络的部署信息发送给终端, 比如高层小区的识别符。根据接收到的信息, 终端可以 判断切换或小区重选是发生在组内部还是组之间。如果是发生在组的内部, 终端在计 数时考虑组内计数结果; 如果发生在组之间, 终端在计数时还要考虑组间大小。通过 这种方式, 以较少的信令代价, 提高了估计的精确度, 不仅预测结果更加准确, 适用 的场景更加广泛, 且空口信令简单。
本发明实施例还提供了一种终端, 如下面的实施例 3所述, 由于该终端解决问题 的原理与上述实施例 1的方法相似, 因此, 该终端的实施可以参见实施例 1的方法的 实施, 重复之处不再赘述。
实施例 3
图 9为本发明实施例的终端的组成示意图, 请参照图 9, 该终端包括: 接收单元 91, 其接收网络侧下发的网络拓扑信息;
其中, 网络侧可以是宏基站,例如 eNB,也可以是其他小基站,例如 RRH、 Pico, Relay、 HeNB等。
确定单元 92, 其根据接收单元 91接收到的网络拓扑信息确定切换或小区重选是 发生在组间还是组内;
计数单元 93, 其在所述确定单元 92确定切换或小区重选发生在组间时, 根据组 间大小对所述切换或小区重选进行计数;在所述确定单元确定切换或小区重选发生在 组内时, 根据组内移动计数结果对所述切换或小区重选进行计数;
估计单元 94, 其根据所述计数单元 93的计数结果估计终端的移动状态。
在一个实施例中,所述组间大小为组内宏小区的大小与终端移动出当前组时在当 前组内的组内计数结果中的最大值。在另一个实施例中,所述组间大小为组内宏小区 大小与终端移动出当前组时在当前组内的组内计数结果之和。其中, 当组内没有宏小 区时,所述组间大小为终端移动出当前组时在当前组内的组内计数结果; 当组内没有 较小小区时, 所述组间大小为组内宏小区的大小。
在一个实施例中,所述组内移动计数结果为在组内移动时对切换或小区重选出来 的较小小区的计数结果。在另一个实施例中,所述组内移动计数结果为在组内移动时 切换或小区重选出来的较小小区的计数结果与组内宏小区的大小之和,其中, 如果组 内没有宏小区,则所述组内移动计数结果为对在组内移动时切换或小区重选出来的较 小小区的计数结果。
本发明实施例提出终端根据接收到的信息判断切换或小区重选是发生在组内部 还是组之间。如果是发生在组的内部, 则在计数时考虑组内计数结果; 如果发生在组 之间, 则在计数时还要考虑组间大小。 通过这种方式, 以较少的信令代价, 提高了估 计的精确度, 不仅预测结果更加准确, 适用的场景更加广泛, 且空口信令简单。
本发明实施例还提供了一种基站, 如下面的实施例 4所述, 由于该基站解决问题 的原理与上述实施例 2的方法相似, 因此, 该基站的实施可以参见实施例 2的方法的 实施, 重复之处不再赘述。
实施例 4
图 10为本发明实施例的基站组成示意图, 请参照图 10, 该基站包括: 发送单元 101, 其将网络拓扑信息通过广播或者单播方式提供给终端, 以便终端 根据所述网络拓扑信息确定切换或小区重选是发生在组间还是组内,并根据确定结果 对所述切换或小区重选进行计数, 然后根据计数结果估计终端的移动状态。
其中, 所述网络拓扑信息包括当前小区的顶层小区及其识别符。
在本实施例中, 为了让终端能够识别出切换或小区重选是发生在组内还是组间, 基站可以采用广播或单播的方式将相关的网络拓扑信息提供给终端。具体来讲,基站 可以通知终端, 当前小区的顶层小区(即覆盖自己的小区)是哪一个小区, 例如自己 或者其他小区, 如果是自己, 可以不单独报告(实际上, 自己的识别符在其他过程中 可以得到); 如果是其他小区, 还可以报告这个顶层小区的识别符是什么。 其中, 小 区的识别符可以是小区的物理识别符或者其他小区标识。这样, 当终端在切换或小区 重选时,发现目标小区和源小区的顶层小区不同时, 则判断为切换或小区重选是发生 在组间; 其他情况下, 判断为切换或小区重选是发生在组内。进而通过实施例 1的方 法进行终端的移动状态的估计。
本发明实施例提出的基站将网络的部署信息发送给终端, 比如高层小区的识别 符。终端根据接收到的信息可以判断切换或小区重选是发生在组内部还是组之间。如 果是发生在组的内部, 终端在计数时考虑组内计数结果; 如果发生在组之间, 终端在 计数时还要考虑组间大小。通过这种方式, 以较少的信令代价,提高了估计的精确度, 不仅预测结果更加准确, 适用的场景更加广泛, 且空口信令简单。
本发明实施例还提供了一种计算机可读程序,其中当在终端中执行该程序时, 该 程序使得计算机在所述终端中执行实施例 1所述的估计终端移动状态的方法。
本发明实施例还提供了一种存储有计算机可读程序的存储介质,其中该计算机可 读程序使得计算机在终端中执行实施例 1所述的估计终端移动状态的方法。
本发明实施例还提供了一种计算机可读程序,其中当在基站中执行该程序时, 该 程序使得计算机在所述基站中执行实施例 2所述的估计终端移动状态的方法。
本发明实施例还提供了一种存储有计算机可读程序的存储介质,其中该计算机可 读程序使得计算机在基站中执行实施例 2所述的估计终端移动状态的方法。
本发明以上的装置和方法可以由硬件实现, 也可以由硬件结合软件实现。本发明 涉及这样的计算机可读程序, 当该程序被逻辑部件所执行时, 能够使该逻辑部件实现 上文所述的装置或构成部件, 或使该逻辑部件实现上文所述的各种方法或步骤。逻辑 部件例如现场可编程逻辑部件、微处理器、计算机中使用的处理器等。本发明还涉及 用于存储以上程序的存储介质, 如硬盘、 磁盘、 光盘、 DVD、 flash存储器等。
以上结合具体的实施方式对本发明进行了描述,但本领域技术人员应该清楚, 这 些描述都是示例性的, 并不是对本发明保护范围的限制。本领域技术人员可以根据本 发明的精神和原理对本发明做出各种变型和修改,这些变型和修改也在本发明的范围 内。
