Description

一种无线接入技术间切换方法、 相应设备及通信系统 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信领域, 尤其涉及一种无线接入技术间切换方法、 相应 设备及通信系统。 背景技术
由于移动通信的飞速发展, 运营商需要给用户提供更为高速和丰富的业务。 在网络的演进和升级中, 可以预见, 在较长的时间范围内, 2G ( 2nd generation ) 网络(如: 全球移动通信系统 ( GSM, Globe system of mobile communications ), 增强型数据速率 GSM 演进系统 ( EDGE , Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution ) ), 3G ( 3rd generation ) 网络(如: 宽带码分多址系统(WCDMA, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access ),时分同步码分多址系统( TD-SCDMA, Time Division- Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access ) ), 以及长期演进系统 ( LTE, Long term evolution )将会处于共存的状态, 共同为用户提供良好的通 信服务质量。
用户设备 ( User Equipment, UE )或者移动台 ( Mobile Station, MS )在移 动的过程中, 可能会出现无线接入技术间切换( inter-RAT handover ) , 例如, 从 LTE切换到通用移动通信系统 (UMTS , Universal Mobile Telecommunications System )0 例如, 如图 1A所示, 在多制式的系统中, GSM做较大的网络覆盖, 其内部署有 LTE网络做热点覆盖, 当 UE从 Celll边缘移动到 Cell2时, UE要 执行 inter-RAT切换。 参照图 1B , 以 LTE UE向 UMTS切换为例, 现有的一种 切换流程如下: 2.1 )服务小区配置测量配置给 UE; 2.2 ) UE把测得的邻小区的 测量结果上报给服务小区; 2.3 )服务小区执行切换判决以判断 UE切换到哪个 目标小区; 2.4 )月^务小区向核心网 MME ( Mobility Management Entity )发送切 换请求; 2.5 ) MME向目标服务 GPRS支持节点( SGSN, Serving GPRS Support Node )转发重定向请求; 2.6 )目标 SGSN向无线网络控制器( RNC, radio network controller )发送重定向请求; 2.7 ) RNC向目标 SGSN发送重定向响应; 2.8 ) 目 标 SGSN向服务 MME转发重定向响应; 2.9 )服务 MME向服务演进型基站( eNB , evolved Node B )发送切换请求响应; 2.10 )服务 eNB向 UE发送 RRC连接重配; 之后 UE向目标小区发起接入。
在现有 inter-RAT切换中, 当用户设备或移动台发起切换时, 由服务节点做 切换判决, 但服务节点并不知晓其他制式的小区的资源利用情况, 仅能通过用 户设备或移动台上报的测量结果判断其他小区的信号质量。 在这种情况下, 当 目标小区的信号质量较好而负荷较重时, 切换到该目标小区的切换失败率较高。 发明内容
