下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进 行清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没 有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的 范围。
考虑到传统邻区关系的配置方法过多依赖于人力且配置效果往往不理 想。 以下实施例提供的邻区关系配置方法、 装置与系统, 利用用户在日常 终端使用中的无线连接状态变化信息来自动配置邻区关系, 在基站投入使 用后, 无需投入专门的人力, 节约了大量的人力与时间成本。
以下结合附图做详细的描述:
请参考图 1, 其为本发明实施例所提供的一种邻区关系配置方法的流程 示意图, 如图所示, 该方法包括如下步骤:
S110 : 获取多个无线连接状态变化的事件信息, 所述每个无线连接状 态变化的事件信息包括该无线连接状态变化的发生时间、 该无线连接状态 变化涉及的终端的终端标识与该无线连接状态变化涉及的小区的小区标 识;
S120 : 根据所获取的事件信息, 配置所述多个无线连接状态变化涉及 的小区之间的邻区关系。
若在短时间内, 终端与多个小区之间的连接状态发生变化, 那么这些 小区之间可能存在邻区关系。 例如, 两个小区存在邻区关系但未配置, 终 端从一个小区移动到另一个小区的过程中, 在一个小区发生无线连接失败, 而后在另一个小区发起无线连接建立。 此时, 无线连接状态变化包括无线 连接失败和发起无线连接建立。 在以上步骤 S120中, 进行如下判断以确定 无线连接失败和发起无线连接建立所涉及的小区之间的邻区关系:
1 ) 无线连接失败和发起无线连接建立所涉及的终端的终端标识是否一 致;
2) 无线连接失败和发起无线连接建立所涉及的小区的小区标识是否不 一致;
3 ) 发起无线连接建立的发生时间与无线连接失败的发生时间之差是否 小于或等于时间门限。 其中, 时间门限是一个根据现网数据统计而得到的 短暂时间, 在该段时间内, 终端普遍的移动距离在邻区距离容忍的范围之 内。 其具体数值视现网情况而定, 且区域不同, 数值也不同。 例如, 高速 公路上的终端普遍移动速度较快, 故该时间门限数值较小。
若以上三个条件同时满足, 说明有同一终端在时间门限内分別出现在 两个不同小区, 那么这两个小区具备邻区关系。 此时, 可以直接将这两个 小区配置为邻区。 另外, 也可以设定在两个小区具备邻区关系的次数达到 或超过一预设次数时, 再将这两个小区配置为邻区。 例如, 当满足以上三 个条件时, 统计两个小区具备邻区关系一次; 若所述两个小区具备邻区关 系的次数达到或超过一预设次数, 将所述两个小区配置为邻区。
此时, 图 1所示的邻区关系配置方法中, 步骤 S110所获取的多个无线连 接状态变化的事件信息包括无线连接失败事件信息和发起无线连接建立事 件信息; 步骤 S120则根据无线连接失败事件信息和发起无线连接建立事件 信息进行判断, 并配置邻区关系。 请参考图 2, 该邻区关系配置方法包括: S210 : 获取无线连接失败事件信息和发起无线连接建立事件信息; S220 : 判断发起无线连接建立和无线连接失败所涉及的终端的终端标 识是否一致、 所涉及的小区的小区标识是否不一致、 发生时间之差是否小 于或等于时间门限, 若判断结果均是, 发起无线连接建立涉及的小区与无 线连接失败涉及的小区具备邻区关系, 此时执行步骤 S221或步骤 S222。 S221: 将具备邻区关系的发起无线连接建立涉及的小区与无线连接失 败涉及的小区配置为邻区。
S222 : 统计发起无线连接建立涉及的小区与无线连接失败涉及的小区 具备邻区关系的次数;
S223 : 判断所统计的次数是否达到或超过预设次数, 当所统计的次数 达到或超过预设次数时, 将具备邻区关系的发起无线连接建立涉及的小区 与无线连接失败涉及的小区配置为邻区 (步骤 S221 ) 。
需要说明的是, 无线连接失败事件包括无线链路失败或掉话; 无线连 接建立事件包括呼叫重建, 小区更新, 无线资源控制 (RRC) 连接重建或 新呼叫。 本领域技术人员当知, 在实际应用中, 不同的网络环境下, 将出 现不同的事件。
再如, 两个小区存在邻区关系但未配置, 终端从一个小区移动到另一 个小区的过程中, 有一个中间小区分別与这两个小区配置了邻区关系, 此 时, 终端未发生无线连接失败, 而是从一个小区切换到中间小区, 并通过 中间小区切换到另一个小区。 终端在小区之间进行切换时, 伴随着与小区 之间的无线连接建立和无线连接释放, 故可以追踪这些事件信息, 来配置 邻区关系。 此时, 无线连接状态变化包括第一无线连接建立、 第二无线连 接建立、 第一无线连接释放和第二无线连接释放。 在以上步骤 S120中, 判 断是否满足以下条件:
( 1 ) 第一无线连接建立、 第二无线连接建立、 第一无线连接释放和第 二无线连接释放涉及的终端的终端标识一致;
(2) 第一无线连接释放和第一无线连接建立涉及的小区的小区标识一 致、 发生时间之差小于或等于第一时间门限;
(3 ) 第一无线连接建立与第二无线连接释放的发生时间之差、 第二无 线连接建立与第一无线连接释放的发生时间之差均小于或等于第二时间门 限, 且 (4) 第二无线连接释放与第二无线连接建立涉及的小区的小区标识不 一致。
若以上条件 (1 ) 和 (2) , 说明有同一终端在同一小区 (称为第一小 区) 内发生了无线连接释放和无线连接建立, 且发生时间之差在时间门限 内, 说明终端在第一小区短暂停留。
若还满足以上条件 (4) , 说明该终端在进入第一小区之前与离开第二 小区之后分別在两个不同小区 (称为第二小区和第三小区) 出现过。 但终 端可能是在第二小区出现后, 经过了很长时间才进入第一小区; 和 /或, 离 开第一小区之后, 经过了很长时间才出现在第三小区。 此时, 第二小区与 第三小区距离较远, 不具备邻区关系。 故还需要进行条件 (3 ) 的判断以排 除以上情况, 从而保证正确的邻区关系的配置:
同以上描述, 此处同样不限制第一与第二时间门限的取值, 本领域技 术人员可以根据现网数据统计而得到。
此时, 图 1所示的邻区关系配置方法中, 步骤 S110所获取的多个无线连 接状态变化的事件信息包括第一、 第二无线连接建立事件信息和第一、 第 二无线连接释放事件信息; 步骤 S120则根据第一、 第二无线连接建立事件 信息和第一、 第二无线连接释放事件信息进行判断, 并配置邻区关系。 请 参考图 3, 该邻区关系配置方法包括:
S310 : 获取第一、 第二无线连接建立事件信息和第一、 第二无线连接 释放事件信息;
S320 : 判断以上条件 (1 ) 至条件 (4) 是否满足, 若均满足, 则执行 步骤 S321或 S322 ;
S321 : 将具备邻区关系的第二无线连接释放涉及的小区与第二无线连 接建立涉及的小区配置为邻区。
S322 : 统计第二无线连接释放涉及的小区与第二无线连接建立涉及的 小区具备邻区关系的次数; S323 : 判断所统计的次数是否达到或超过预设次数, 若是, 将具备邻 区关系的第二无线连接释放涉及的小区与第二无线连接建立涉及的小区配 置为邻区 (步骤 S321 ) 。
从图 2和图 3所示的实施例可以看出, 配置邻区关系的过程主要包括两 种方式:
第一种: 直接将具备邻区关系的小区配置为邻区。
第二种: 将具备邻区关系的次数达到或超过预设次数的两个小区配置 为邻区。
其中, 设定预设次数是为了增加邻区关系判断的次数, 进一步提高邻 区关系配置的准确性。 其中, 第二种方式比较适合通信流量较大的人员密 集区, 此时设置预设次数可以有效提高邻区关系配置的准确性。 当然, 对 于人流量较少的区域, 第一种方式便可以基本满足实际使用中的需求。
需要说明的是, 步骤 S110所获取的多个无线连接状态变化的事件信息 可以同时获取, 也可以分开获取, 也可以先获取一部分, 再获取另一部分。 本发明实施例不做任何限制。 另外, 也可以将多个无线连接状态变化的事 件信息分別记录下来, 然后, 周期性获取所记录下来的信息。 为此, 图 1所 示方法还可以包括: 当无线连接状态变化时, 记录所述无线连接状态变化 的事件信息。
需要说明的是, 图 1所示方法的执行主体可以为接入网设备(例如基站, 演进型基站, 基站控制器, 无线网络控制器等) , 也可以为网络管理设备 (例如, 运营支撑系统, 网络管理系统等) 。 其中, 无线连接状态变化的 事件信息的记录需要与终端直接进行通信的接入网设备来实现, 故记录信 息的执行主体为接入网设备。
当图 1所示方法的执行主体为接入网设备时, 则接入网设备可以直接根 据其所记录的事件信息执行图 1所示的方法。 当所示方法的执行主体为网络 管理设备时, 则所记录的事件信息可以由接入网设备上报给网络管理设备 或者由网络管理设备从接入网设备调取, 由网络管理设备执行图 1所示的方 法。
另外, 构建配置邻区的方式是通过更新邻区列表的方式实现的, 其为 本领域技术人员所熟知, 在此不再赘述。
下面通过以下几个应用场景分別描述以上方法在不同无线通信系统中 的应用。 然而, 这几种应用场景仅为举例, 并非用以限定本发明, 以上方 法同样可以应用于其它无线通信系统中。
应用场景一: 全球移动通信系 统 ( Global System for Mobile communications, GSM) 中自动邻区关系配置
在 GSM系统中, 终端标识可以为: 国际移动用户识別码 (International
Mobile Subscriber Identity, IMSI ) 、 国际移动设备身份码 (International Mobile Equipment Identity, IMEI)、 或临 H†识另1 J码 (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity, TMSI)。
1 ) 同一基站控制器 (Base Station Controller, BSC) 内的邻区关系配置 如图 4所示, 同一 BSC430内的小区 410和 420存在邻区关系但未配置, 当 终端 200移动到小区 410和小区 420的交叠区域且继续向小区 420移动时, 由 于未配置邻区关系会导致终端 200发生无线链路失败 (Radio link failure, RLF) 。 此时 BSC430记录下终端 200的终端标识, 当前所在小区 410的小区 标识以及发生无线链路失败的时间。 终端 200发生无线链路失败后可能会向 小区 420发起一个呼叫重建请求以恢复链路,一旦 BSC430收到重建请求即记 录下终端 200的终端标识、 发起重建请求的时间、 及所在小区 420的小区标 识。 由于用户终端 200在发生无线链路失败后可能选不到合适的小区进行呼 叫重建或者选择的小区不允许进行呼叫重建, 则终端 200会发生掉话。 如果 掉话后终端 200立即在小区 420发起新呼叫, 则 BSC记录下终端 200的终端标 识 (如, IMSI、 IMEI, 或 TMSI) 、 发起新呼叫的时间及所在小区 420的小 区标识。 在完成以上事件信息的记录之后, 可以按照事件触发的方式关联所记 录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的配置。
当 BSC430记录到一条终端发起呼叫重建或新呼叫事件信息, 即根据其 中的终端标识去关联同一终端标识的无线链路失败或掉话事件信息, 若同 —终端的发起呼叫重建或新呼叫的发生时间与无线链路失败或掉话的发生 时间差值在时间门限之内, 且两事件信息中的小区标识不同, 则统计这两 小区具备邻区关系一次, 若统计到的次数达到或超过预设次数, 则可将这 两小区配置为邻区。
还可以按照周期触发的方式关联所记录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的 配置。
BSC430周期性地对记录的无线链路失败或掉话事件信息和发起呼叫重 建或新呼叫事件信息根据终端标识进行比较关联, 若同一终端的发起呼叫 重建或新呼叫的发生时间与无线链路失败或掉话的发生时间之差在时间 ί 1 限之内, 且两事件信息中的小区标识不同, 则统计这两小区具备邻区关系 一次, 若统计到的次数达到或超过预设次数, 则可将这两小区配置为邻区。
2) 同一 BSC内的邻区关系配置
如图 5所示, 同一 BSC530内的小区 510、 520和 540都存在邻区关系, 但 只配置小区 510和 540以及小区 520和 540的邻区关系, 未配置小区 510和 520 的邻区关系, 当终端 200移动到小区 510、 520和 540的交叠区域且小区 520为 信号最强的最好邻区, 但由于只配置了小区 510和 540的邻区关系, 终端 200 只能先切换到小区 540,但由于小区 520的信号仍是最强,终端 200在小区 540 停留很短时间即发生从小区 540到 520的切换, 在此过程中 BSC530记录下各 小区内的无线连接建立事件信息和无线连接释放事件信息, 包括小区标识、 终端标识、 以及发生时间。
在完成以上事件信息的记录之后, 可以按照事件触发的方式关联所记 录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的配置。 当 BSC530追踪到终端 200在小区 540停留时间小于或等于第一时间门限 (即在小区 540内的无线连接释放和无线连接建立的发生时间之差的小于 或等于第一时间门限) 时, 则根据其中的终端标识去关联同一标识的终端 在进入该小区 540之前和离开该小区 540之后所接入的小区的事件记录, 包 括小区 510内的无线连接释放事件信息和小区 520内的无线连接建立事件信 息。 若同一终端在进入小区 540和离开小区 510的时间差以及进入小区 520与 离开小区 540的时间差在第二时间门限之内 (即小区 540内的无线连接建立 与小区 510内的无线连接释放的发生时间之差、 小区 520内的无线连接建立 与小区 540内的无线连接释放的发生时间之差均小于或等于第二时间门 限) , 且小区 510和 520的小区标识不同, 则统计小区 510和 520具备邻区关 系一次, 若统计到的次数达到或超过预设次数, 则可将这两小区配置为邻 区。
还可以按照周期触发的方式关联所记录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的 配置。
BSC530周期性地对所记录的事件信息进行分析, 当分析得到终端 200 在小区 540停留时间小于或等于第一时间门限时, 则根据其中的终端标识去 关联同一标识的终端在进入该小区 540之前和离开该小区 540之后所接入的 小区的事件信息, 包括小区 510内的无线连接释放事件信息和小区 520内的 无线连接建立事件信息。 若同一终端在进入小区 540和离开小区 510的时间 差以及进入小区 520与离开小区 540的时间差在第二时间门限之内 (即小区 540内的无线连接建立与小区 510内的无线连接释放的发生时间之差、 小区 520内的无线连接建立与小区 540内的无线连接释放的发生时间之差均小于 或等于第二时间门限) , 且小区 510和 520的小区标识不同, 则统计小区 510 和 520具备邻区关系一次, 若统计到的次数达到或超过预设次数, 则可将这 两小区配置为邻区。
3 ) 不同 BSC间的邻区关系配置 如图 6所示, BSC630内的小区 610和 BSC640内的小区 620存在邻区关系 但未配置, 当终端 200移动到小区 610和小区 620的交叠区域且继续向小区 620移动时, 由于未配置邻区关系会导致终端 200发生无线链路失败, 此时 BSC630记录下终端 200的终端标识, 当前所在小区 610的小区标识以及发生 无线链路失败的时间。 终端 200发生无线链路失败后可能会向小区 620发起 一个呼叫重建请求以恢复链路, 一旦 B SC640收到呼叫重建请求即记录下终 端 200的终端标识, 发起呼叫重建请求的时间, 及所在小区 620的小区标识。 由于终端 200在发生无线链路失败后可能选不到合适的小区进行呼叫重建 或者选择的小区不允许进行呼叫重建, 则终端 200会发生掉话, 如果掉话后 该终端 200立即在小区 620发起新的呼叫, BSC640记录下终端 200的终端标识 以及发起新呼叫的时间, 及所在小区 620的小区标识。
在完成以上事件信息的记录之后, 可以按照事件触发的方式关联所记 录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的配置。
当 B SC630和 B SC640记录到一条事件信息,例如无线链路失败或掉话事 件信息、 或发起呼叫重建或新呼叫事件信息, 即通过网元与网元管理系统 ( Element Management System, EMS ) 接口即南向接口上 4艮给 EMS650。 EMS650收到发起呼叫重建或新呼叫事件信息时即根据其中的终端标识去 关联同一终端标识的无线链路失败或掉话事件信息, 若同一终端的发起呼 叫重建或新呼叫的发生时间与无线链路失败或掉话的发生时间之差在时间 门限之内, 且两事件记录中的小区标识不同, 则统计这两小区具备邻区关 系一次, 若统计到的次数达到或超过预设次数, 则可将这两小区配置为邻 区。
还可以按照周期触发的方式关联所记录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的 配置。
BSC630和 BSC640周期地向 EMS650发送其记录的所有事件信息, 例如 无线链路失败或掉话事件信息、 或发起呼叫建立建立或新呼叫事件信息。 EMS650收到事件信息时或周期地对所有的事件信息进行比较, 根据终端标 识来关联同一终端的不同事件信息, 若同一终端的发起呼叫重建或新呼叫 的发生时间与无线链路失败或掉话的发生时间之差在时间门限之内, 且两 事件记录中的小区标识不同, 则统计这两小区具备邻区关系一次, 若统计 到的次数达到或超过预设次数, 则可将这两小区配置为邻区。
4) 不同 BSC间的邻区关系配置
如图 7所示, BSC730内的小区 710和 BSC740内的小区 720存在邻区关系 但未配置, 其与图 6中的实现方式基本相同, 其区別仅在于实现邻区关系配 置的网络管理设备不是 EMS, 而是网络管理系统 ( Network Management System, NMS) 750。 如此, BSC730和 740记录事件信息后, 便可以将所记 录的事件信息上报给 EMS760 , EMS760通过北向接口向 NMS750上报, 由 NMS750关联所记录的事件信息, 进行判断, 并根据判断结果完成邻区关系 的配置。
5) 不同 BSC间的邻区关系配置
如图 8所示, BSC830内的小区 810、 小区 850、 以及 BSC840内的小区 820 存在邻区关系但只配置小区 810和小区 850、 小区 820和小区 850的邻区关系, 但未配置小区 810和小区 820的邻区关系。 当终端 200移动到三个小区 810、 820和 850的交叠区域且小区 820为信号最强的最好邻区, 由于只配置了小区 810和小区 850的邻区关系, 终端只能先切换到小区 850, 但由于小区 820的 信号仍是最强, 终端在小区 850停留很短时间即发生从小区 850到小区 820的 切换,在此过程中 B SC830和 B SC840记录下各小区内的无线连接建立事件信 息和无线连接释放事件信息, 包括小区标识、 终端标识、 以及发生时间。
在完成以上事件信息的记录之后, 可以按照事件触发的方式关联所记 录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的配置。
当 BSC830和 BSC840记录到各小区内的无线连接建立事件信息和无线 连接释放事件信息, 即上报给 EMS860。 EMS860收到这些事件信息后, 当 分析得到终端在小区 850停留时间小于或等于第一时间门限时, 根据其中的 终端标识去关联同一标识的终端在进入该小区 850之前和离开该小区 850之 后所接入的小区的事件信息, 包括小区 810内的无线连接释放事件信息和小 区 820内的无线连接建立事件信息。 若同一终端在进入小区 850和离开小区 810的时间差以及进入小区 820与离开小区 850的时间差在第二时间门限之 内 (即小区 850内的无线连接建立与小区 810内的无线连接释放的发生时间 之差、 小区 820内的无线连接建立与小区 850内的无线连接释放的发生时间 之差均小于或等于第二时间门限) , 且小区 810和 820的小区标识不同, 则 统计这两小区 810和 820具备邻区关系一次, 若统计到的次数达到或超过预 设次数, 则可将这两小区配置为邻区。
还可以按照周期触发的方式关联所记录的事件信息, 进行邻区关系的 配置。
BSC830、 BSC840周期地向 EMS860发送其记录的所有事件信息。 EMS860收到事件信息时或周期地对所有的事件信息进行比较, 当分析得到 终端在小区 850停留时间小于第一时间门限时, 根据其中的终端标识去关联 同一标识的终端在进入该小区 850之前和离开该小区 850之后所接入的小区 的事件信息, 包括小区 810内的无线连接释放事件信息和小区 820内的无线 连接建立事件信息。 若同一终端在进入小区 850和离开小区 810的时间差以 及进入小区 820与离开小区 850的时间差在第二时间门限之内 (即小区 850内 的无线连接建立与小区 810内的无线连接释放的发生时间之差、 小区 820内 的无线连接建立与小区 850内的无线连接释放的发生时间之差均小于或等 于第二时间门限) , 且小区 810和 820的小区标识不同, 则统计这两小区具 备邻区关系一次, 若统计到的次数达到或超过预设次数, 则可将这两小区 配置为邻区。
6) 不同 BSC间的邻区关系配置 如图 9所示, BSC930内的小区 910、 小区 970和 BSC940内的小区 920存在 邻区关系, 但只配置小区 910和 970以及小区 920和 970的邻区关系, 未配置 小区 910和 920的邻区关系。 其与图 8中的实现方式基本相同, 其区別仅在于 实现邻区关系配置的网络管理设备不是 EMS, 而是 NMS950。如此, BSC930 和 940记录事件信息后, 便可以将所记录的事件信息上报给 EMS960 , EMS960通过北向接口向 NMS950上报, 由 NMS950关联所记录的信息, 进行 判断, 并根据判断结果完成邻区关系的配置。
以上事件信息中的发生时间可以是时间戳的方式上报给网管节点, 小 区标识可以是 CGI。
应用场景二: 通用移动通讯系统 ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System, UMTS) 中自动邻区关系配置
在 UMTS系统中, 终端标识可以是 IMSI、 IMEI、 TMSI或地面无线接入 网无线网络临时标识(UTRAN Radio Network Temporary Identity, URNTI)。 发起无线连接重建往往是以小区更新 (cell update) 请求形式发送。
1 ) 同一无线网络控制器 (Radio Network Controller, RNC) 内的邻区 关系配置
其与图 4或图 5中的实现方式基本相同, 区別在于执行邻区关系配置的 主体由 BSC替换为 RNC, 在此不再赘述。
2) 不同 RNC间的邻区关系配置
2.1 ) 执行主体为网络管理设备
其与图 6、 图 7、 图 8或图 9中的实现方式基本相同, 区別在于记录事件 信息的接入网设备由 BSC替换为 RNC, 在此不再赘述。
2.2) 执行主体为 RNC
第一种情况:如图 10所示, RNC103内的小区 101和 RNC104内的小区 102 存在邻区关系但未配置。 当终端发生无线链路失败时, RNC103记录无线链 路失败事件信息, 包括终端标识、 无线链路失败发生小区 101的小区标识以 及发生无线链路失败的时间。 终端 200发生无线链路失败后可能会向小区 102发起一个 cell update请求以恢复链路。 由于终端标识为 RNC103所分配, 且其中包括 RNC103的标识符 (ID) , 一旦 RNC104收到包含终端标识的 cell update时, 即可知道 RNC103的 ID。 若 RNC103与 RNC104之间存在 Iur接口, RNC104可以在收到 cell update请求时通过 Iur接口将记录的事件信息发送到 RNC103或周期地向 RNC103发送其所记录的事件信息, 例如可用直接信息 传输 (Direct Information Transfer) 消息来携带事件信息。 若 RNC103与 RNC104之间没有 Iur接口, 则 RNC104可通过核心网(CN)节点 105 (例如, GPRS服务支持节点节点(Serving GPRS Support Node, SGSN) )给 RNC103 发送事件信息, 例如可用 Direct Information Transfer消息来携带。 若 UE选择 不到合适的小区进行 cell update则会发生掉话, 如果 UE立即在 RNC104下的 小区 102发起新的呼叫, RNC104记录新呼叫事件信息, RNC104也可通过 Iur 口或核心网 105以事件触发方式或周期方式向 RNC 103发送事件信息。 而后, 由 RNC103按照事件触发或者周期触发的方式关联所记录的事件信息, 进行 判断, 并根据判断结果完成邻区关系的配置。
第二种情况: 如图 11所示, 当小区 111和小区 116内的终端发生无线连 接建立和无线连接释放时, RNC113记录下相应的事件信息; 当小区 112内 的终端发生无线连接建立和无线连接释放时, RNC114记录下相应的事件信 息。 由于所记录的事件信息内的终端标识为相应的 RNC所分配, 其中包括 分配终端标识的 RNC的标识符 (ID) 。 因此, RNC114可以知道 RNC113的 ID, 并根据此 ID将其所记录的事件信息通过 Iur接口或 Iu接口经 CN节点 115 发送给 RNC113。 而后, 由 RNC113按照事件触发或者周期触发的方式关联 所记录的事件信息, 进行判断, 并根据判断结果完成邻区关系的配置。
应用场景三: 长期演进 (Long Term Evolution, LTE) 系统中自动邻区 关系配置 在 LTE系统中, 终端标识可以是 IMSI、 IMEI、 TMSI或小区无线网络临 时识別 (Cell Radio Network Temmporary Identify, CRNTI) 。 发起无线连 接重建往往是以发起无线资源控制 (Radio Resource Control, RRC) 连接请 求的形式发送。
1) 同一演进型基站 (evolved Node B, eNB)内的邻区关系配置 其与图 4或图 5中的实现方式基本相同, 区別在于执行邻区关系配置的 主体由 BSC替换为 eNB, 在此不再赘述。
2) 不同 eNB间的邻区关系配置
2.1 ) 执行主体为网络管理设备
其与图 6、 图 7、 图 8或图 9中的实现方式基本相同, 区別在于记录事件 信息的接入网设备由 BSC替换为 eNB, 在此不再赘述。
2.2) 执行主体为 eNB
如图 12和 13所示, 其与图 10或图 11中的实现方式基本相同, 区別在于 执行主体由 RNC替换为 eNB, 且 eNB所记录的事件信息的传递是通过 X2接 口 (如, 可通过基站配置更新 (eNB configuration update) 消息携带) , 或 S1接口经 CN节点实现(如,可通过基站配置传输(eNB configuration transfer) 消息或 eNB Direct Information Transfer和移动性管理实体直接信息传输 (MME Direct Information Transfer) 消息携带) 。 在 LTE协议中提出过一种 自动邻区关系 (Automatic Neighbour Relation, ANR) 的技术。 然而这种技 术主要针对 LTE而设计, 需要终端具备读取邻区的广播消息获取到邻区的 CGI的能力, 而 GSM和 UMTS系统下的终端通常不具备这种能力。 可见, 这 种 ANR技术是无法在 GSM和 UMTS系统中应用的, 即使需要应用, 也需要 对终端做出改进。 而以上实施例所提供的方法利用终端使用时无线连接状 态变化的事件信息来配置邻区关系, 对终端没有过多的要求, 可以应用于 各种无线通信系统中, 不受无线接入技术的限制。 此外, 以上方法不仅可以应用于各种无线通信系统中, 也应用于跨无 线接入技术的通信系统中。 以下以 GSM和 UMTS系统间自动邻区关系配置 为例进行说明, 其它跨无线接入技术的通信系统中的邻区关系的配置与之 类似, 在此不再赘述。
1 ) 执行主体为网络管理设备
其与图 6、 图 7、 图 8或图 9中的实现方式基本相同, 区別在于记录事件 信息的接入网节点包括 BSC和 RNC, 在此不再赘述。
2) 执行主体为 BSC或 RNC
如图 14和 15所示, 其与图 10或图 11中的实现方式基本相同, 区別在于 BSC (或 RNC)通过各系统的核心网(包括 GSM CN和 UMTS CN) (接入网信息 管理 (RAN Information Management, RIM) 流程) 如经过 RIM information 将记录的事件信息发送给该事件信息内终端标识指示的 RNC (或 BSC), 而后 由接收信息的 RNC (或 BSC) 按照事件触发或者周期触发的方式关联所记录 的信息, 进行判断, 并根据判断结果完成邻区关系的配置。
需要说明的是, 以上无线连接失败事件和发起无线连接建立事件是以 语音业务为例加以说明, 然而本实施了不做任何限制, 其同样可以适用于 数据业务等其它类型的业务。
从以上描述可以看出, 无线连接状态变化变化的事件信息的获取方式 包括: 通过 Iur接口 (接入网设备之间) 、 通过 Iu接口或 S1接口经 CN节点转 发 (包括通过 RIM流程 (GSM和 UMTS的接入网设备之间) ) 、 通过 X2接 口 (接入网设备之间) 、 或通过北向接口 (设备商网管和运营商网管之间 接口) 或南向接口 (接入网设备和网络管理设备之间接口) 。
另外, 在以上描述中, 为了叙述简便, 省略了基站的描述, 实际应用 中 BSC或 RNC通过基站与终端建立连接, 故以上记录事件信息或邻区关系 配置的操作不仅仅可以由 B S C或 RNC完成, 也可以由基站完成。 本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现以上方法中的全部或部分步骤是可 以通过程序来指令相关的硬件来完成, 所述的程序可以存储于一计算机可 读介质中, 所述可读介质, 如: ROM/RAM、 磁碟、 光盘等。
例如, 本发明实施例提供的一种计算机程序产品, 包括计算机可读介 质, 该可读介质包括一组程序代码, 用于执行以上实施例所描述的任一种 邻区关系配置方法。
