The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative labor are within the scope of the present invention.

It should be understood that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Global System of Mobile communication ("GSM") system, Code Division Multiple Access (Code Division Multiple Access) Called "CDMA" system, General Packet Radio Service (General Packet Radio Service), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System System, called "UMTS", Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ("Wireless Fidelity") or Wireless Fidelity ("Wireless Fidelity").

It should also be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, a user equipment (User Equipment, referred to as "UE") may be referred to as a terminal (Terminal), a mobile station (Mobile Station, referred to as "MS"), a mobile terminal ( Mobile Terminal), etc., the user equipment can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network ("RAN"), for example, the user equipment can be a mobile phone (or "cellular" "Telephone", a computer with a mobile terminal, etc., for example, the user device can also be a portable, pocket, handheld, computer built-in or in-vehicle mobile device that exchanges voice and/or data with the wireless access network.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station may be a base station in GSM or CDMA (Base

Transceiver Station, called "BTS", can also be a base station in UMTS (NodeB, called "NB"), or it can be an evolved Node B in LTE (called "eNB or eNodeB"). "), the invention is not limited.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario PRA (Proximity Radio Access) applicable to an embodiment of the present invention. In the scenario of FIG. 1, a CF UE (Cellular Function UE) is a first UE in the present invention, and an Access UE (Access UE) The second UE in the present invention, and the wireless link between the Access UE and the CF UE are referred to as a PRA Link (near wireless access link). For example, in FIG. 1, the Access UE 109 is in a weak coverage area of a macro network (a network composed of a macro base station 101 and a macro base station 102), in which the wireless transmission and reception signals of the Access UE 109 are poor, and there is no overlay deployment in the area. Small cells (e.g., micro base station 103 and micro base station 104) that function to enhance capacity. In order to be able to access the network, the Access UE 109 may perform a discovery process to discover other UEs around, for example: the Access UE 109 attempts to resolve the beacon channel information broadcast by other surrounding UEs (eg, CF UE 105 and CF UE 107) by parsing the measurements. A random access procedure is initiated to the selected CF UE 105. If the CF UE 105 and the network are found to have better radio transmission and reception signals, and the CF UE 105 can initiate a packet domain service request to connect to the network, the Access UE 109 can establish a specific radio link connection with the CF UE 105. The network provided by the CF UE 105 routes to access the network. In other words, the Access UE 109 interacts with the communication network through the CF UE 105, that is, the Access UE 109 communicates with the macro base station 101 through the CF UE 105.

Similarly, in FIG. 1, Access UE 110 can communicate with macro base station 101 through CF UE 106, Access UE 111 can communicate with base station 103 through CF UE 107, and Access UE 111 can communicate with micro base station 112 through CF UE 108. Communication.

The same UE may exchange between the roles of the first UE and the second UE. For example, when the CF UE 105 moves to the coverage hole of the macro network, the CF UE 105 can convert from the CF UE role to the Access UE role by discovering that other CF UEs that have good radio signal transmission between the surrounding and the network interact with the communication network. . For another example, when the Access UE 109 enters a location in the coverage area of the macro network that has a better radio signal, the Access UE 109 can be converted into a role of the CF UE to provide network routing for other Access UEs.

A first UE may serve a plurality of second UEs. Preferably, considering the application efficiency and implementation complexity of the scenario such as wireless access, a first UE provides only a second UE with a nearby wireless access service. It can be applied to other scenarios in which the second UE accesses the communication network through the network route provided by the first UE, which is not limited by the present invention.

It should also be noted that the network system of FIG. 1 is merely a scenario in which the present invention can be implemented to more clearly describe the embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of application of the embodiments of the present invention. For example, a macro base station 101, a base station 102, and two UEs 103 are depicted in FIG. 104, However, embodiments of the present invention may also include a smaller number or a greater number of base stations, or may also include a smaller number or a greater number of UEs. The embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to a scenario of a network architecture with only one base station. The base station may be other types of base stations, such as a pico base station, a femto base station, a relay station, etc., in addition to the above-mentioned macro base station and micro base station. This embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, in the network system of FIG. 1, the number of CF UEs or the number of Access UEs in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

2 is a flow chart of a handover decision method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of Figure 2 is performed by a base station.

The receiving, by the first UE, the reference signal measurement result of the serving cell of the first UE that is determined by the first UE, and receiving the reference signal measurement result of the target cell that is determined by the second UE and sent by the first UE.

202. Perform a handover decision on the second UE according to the reference signal measurement result of the serving cell and the reference signal measurement result of the target cell.

The target cell is a serving cell or the target cell is a neighboring cell of the serving cell, and the second UE interacts with the communication network by using the first UE.

Based on the foregoing technical solution, in the scenario that the second UE interacts with the communication network by using the first user equipment, the base station of the serving cell of the first UE according to the reference of the serving cell determined by the first UE sent by the first UE The signal measurement result and the reference signal measurement result of the target cell determined by the second UE perform a handover decision on the second UE. In this way, the UE that can interact with the communication network through the other UEs in the weak coverage area can switch to the target cell in the mobility process due to the improvement of the signal condition of the target cell, and the quality of service of the UE in the mobility process does not occur. Significant degradation.

Optionally, as an embodiment, if the result of the decision in step 202 is to switch the second UE, if the target cell is a neighboring cell of the serving cell, after step 202, the base station of the serving cell The base station of the target cell transmits the context information of the second UE. Further, the base station of the serving cell sends a radio link connection release indication message to the first UE.

Optionally, as another embodiment, if the result of the decision in step 202 is to perform a handover decision on the second UE, if the target cell is a serving cell, the base station of the serving cell may directly send the wireless to the first UE. Link connection release indication message.

The foregoing radio link connection release indication message is used to indicate that the second UE releases the radio link connection with the first UE, and establishes a connection with the target cell. Optionally, the reference signal measurement result of the serving cell may be at least one of the following: a measurement value of a reference signal of a serving cell (Reference Signal Receiving Power, referred to as "RSRP") and a reception quality of a reference signal of the serving cell. (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, the tube is called "RSRQ") measurement value, etc. The reference signal measurement result of the target cell may include at least one of the following: a measured value of the received power of the reference signal of the target cell and a measured value of the received quality of the reference signal of the target cell, and the like.

Specifically, the base station of the serving cell performs the determination according to the reference signal measurement result of the serving cell determined by the first UE and the reference signal measurement result of the target cell determined by the second UE, if there is a reference signal measurement of the target cell in the target cell. As a result (greater than the reference signal measurement result of the serving cell determined by the first UE, the result of the base station decision of the serving cell is to switch the second UE.

Optionally, if the result of the base station decision of the serving cell is that the UE is switched to the target cell with the largest measured value of the reference signal measurement result, if the target cell is the neighboring cell of the serving cell, to the target cell The base station sends context information of the second UE. Further, the base station of the serving cell may send a radio link connection release indication message to the first UE, the first UE sends a radio link connection release indication message to the second UE, and the second UE releases the radio between the first UE and the first UE. A link is connected to establish a connection with the target cell.

Optionally, the radio link connection release indication message may be used to carry the user equipment indication, where the user equipment indication is used to instruct the first UE to send a radio link connection release indication message to the second UE, where the user equipment The indication may be a second UE identity (eg, an International Mobile Subscriber Identity of the second UE or an International Mobile Subscriber Identity Code of the second UE) or a link identity or link indication. For example, if the first UE parses the second UE identifier from the radio link connection release indication message received by the base station of the serving cell, the radio link connection release indication message is transparently transmitted to the second UE. For another example, the link identifier or the link indication is carried in the radio link connection release indication message, and the first UE provides the network route access communication network only for the second UE, that is, the link identifier or the link indication. Uniquely corresponding to a second UE, the first UE may send a radio link connection release indication message to the second UE according to the link identifier or the link indication. Specifically, since the link identifier of the first UE uniquely corresponds to one second UE, the first UE may distinguish whether the target user equipment of the message is the first by using the link identifier in the message transmission between the base station and the base station of the serving cell. Two UEs. If the link identifier is set in the message (for example, set to 1), it means that the first UE only plays the role of message relay transmission, and the target UE is the second UE. Therefore, the second UE interacts with the communication network by using the first UE. If the second UE discovers a target cell with better signal during the mobile process, the second UE may release the wireless link connection with the first UE, and switch to the target. Community. In this way, the continuity of the second UE service is ensured, and the quality of service of the UE in the mobility process is not significantly degraded.

Optionally, as another embodiment, before step 201, the base station of the serving cell may send the first measurement configuration information and the second measurement configuration information to the first UE, where the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate that the first UE determines the service. The reference signal measurement result of the cell, where the second measurement configuration information is used to indicate that the second UE determines the reference signal measurement result of the target cell. Optionally, the first measurement configuration information includes a measurement target indication of the first UE, indicating that the first UE measures the reference signal measurement result of the serving cell, where the second measurement configuration information includes the measurement target indication of the second UE, and the indication The second UE measures a reference signal measurement result of the target cell.

Optionally, the first measurement configuration information may also be used to carry the identifier of the first UE; and/or the second measurement configuration information may also be used to carry the indication information. The identifier of the first UE is used to indicate that the first measurement configuration information is the information of the first UE, and the indication information is used to instruct the first UE to send the second measurement configuration information to the second UE. Specifically, the indication information may be a second UE identity or a link identifier or a link indication.

In an implementation manner, if the first UE parses the second UE identifier from the message (second measurement configuration information) received by the base station of the serving cell, the second measurement configuration information is transparently sent to the second UE. If the first UE extracts the identifier of the first UE from the message (the first measurement configuration information) received by the base station of the serving cell, the first UE may determine the reference signal measurement result of the serving cell according to the first measurement configuration information. In another implementation manner, the first UE may determine whether the message belongs to the second UE by using a link identifier or a link indication in the message sent by the base station of the serving cell.

For example, if the first UE resolves the second UE identity from the radio link connection release indication message received by the base station of the serving cell, the radio link connection release indication message is transparently transmitted to the second UE. For another example, the link identifier or the link indication is carried in the radio link connection release indication message, and the first UE provides the network route access communication network only for the second UE, that is, the link identifier or the link indication. Uniquely corresponding to a second UE, the first UE may send a radio link connection release indication message to the second UE according to the link identifier or the link indication. Specifically, since the link identifier or the link indication of the first UE uniquely corresponds to one second UE, the first UE may distinguish the link by using a link identifier or a link indication in message transmission with the base station of the serving cell. Whether the target user equipment of the message is the second UE. For example, if the link identifier is set in the message (for example, set to 1), it means that the first UE only plays the role of message relay transmission, and the target UE is the second UE.

Therefore, the second UE interacts with the communication network by using the first UE. If the second UE discovers a target cell with better signal during the mobile process, the second UE may release the wireless link connection with the first UE, and switch to the target. Community. In this way, the continuity of the second UE service is ensured, and the quality of service of the UE in the mobility process is not significantly degraded.
