- the X2 interface is a communication interface between eNBs.
- eNB is a base station of E-UTRAN / Long Term Term Evolution (LTE).
- MME is a control entity located in the core network (Evolved Packet Packet Core (EPC)), and it manages User Equipment (UE) mobility management (eg location registration) and bearer management (eg bearer establishment, bearer configuration change, bearer). Release).
- the UE is an E-UTRAN / LTE wireless terminal (mobile terminal).
- the ANR function is one of the important features of SON.
- the purpose of the ANR function is to relieve the operator from the burden of manually managing neighbor cell relations (Neighbor Relations (NRs)).
- FIG. 1 shows a plurality of elements included in the ANR function described in Non-Patent Document 1.
- FIG. 2 shows a specific example of an adjacent relationship table (Neighbor ⁇ Relation Table (NRT)) described in Non-Patent Document 1.
- the ANR function is arranged in evolved NodeB (eNB) and manages a conceptual NRT.
- NeighborbDetection Function finds a new neighbor cell and adds NRs corresponding to this to the NRT.
- Neighbour Removal Function removes unnecessary NRs from the NRT.
- NRT includes all neighbor cell (NRs) entries of cells controlled by the eNB.
- the NR within the NRT context is defined as a unidirectional cell-to-cell relationship from the source cell to the target cell.
- TCI Target Cell Identifier
- the NRT includes a Target Cell Identifier (TCI) that identifies the target cell.
- TCI Target Cell Identifier
- the TCI corresponds to the E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier (ECGI) and Physical Cell Identity (PCI) of the target cell.
- ECGI is composed of 3-byte Public-Land Mobile-Network Identity (PLMN ID) and 28-bit E-UTRAN Cell Identifier (ECI), and is used to uniquely identify an E-UTRAN cell globally.
- PLMN ID Public-Land Mobile-Network Identity
- ECI E-UTRAN Cell Identifier
- PLMN ID is a unique identifier of PLMN
- ECI is a unique identifier of an E-UTRAN cell in a specific PLMN.
- PCI is a number from 0 to 503, and distinguishes a cell from a neighboring cell immediately after.
- 504 (0 to 503) PCIs are repeatedly used. That is, the PCI cannot specify a cell within the PLMN or globally.
- the NR entry held in the NRT can have a plurality of attributes. These multiple attributes include three attributes (No Remove flag, No HO flag, and No X2 flag) controlled by the Operation and Maintenance (OAM) system.
- No Remove flag indicates whether or not the NR corresponding to the eNB can be deleted.
- the No HO flag indicates whether or not the NR supported by the eNB can be used for handover purposes.
- No X2 flag indicates whether or not the X2 interface (X2 link) can be used to start the procedure with the eNB that controls the target cell.
- the ANR function works as follows.
- the ANR function relies on cells that broadcast their globally unique identifier (ie, ECGI).
- the serving eNB having the ANR function instructs each UE to perform normal neighbor cell measurement.
- the UE sends a normal measurement report (measurement report) to the serving eNB.
- This normal measurement report includes the neighbor cell PCI, but does not include the neighbor cell ECGI.
- the serving eNB instructs the UE to perform individual reporting (dedicatedPCIreporting) using the newly discovered PCI as a parameter. To do.
- the system information including ECGI, Tracking Area Code (TAC) and all available PLMN ID (s) Read and report this to the serving eNB in a separate report.
- the TAC indicates a tracking area to which the eNB cell belongs. TAC is composed of 16 bits and is a unique identifier in PLMN.
- the serving eNB decides to add the NR from the source cell to the newly discovered cell to the NRT using the PCI and ECGI reported from the UE.
- the serving eNB may use the PCI and ECGI reported from the UE in order to look up the transport layer address of the eNB that controls the newly discovered cell.
- the serving eNB may use these PCI and ECGI to set up an X2 interface (X2 link) with the eNB that controls the newly discovered cell.
- the ANR function addition or deletion of the NRs of the cell is performed based on a measurement report from the UE to the eNB that controls the cell. That is, it is not assumed that the ANR function is executed with the detection of a handover failure such as Too Late Handover and Handover toWrong Cell as a trigger.
- a handover failure such as Too Late Handover and Handover toWrong Cell as a trigger.
- the definition of Too Late Handover and Handover to Wrong Cell in this specification will be described.
- the first type of Too Late Handover is a radio link failure (Radio Link Failure (Radio Failure ( RLF)), and then attempts to re-establish a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection to the target cell.
- RLF Radio Link Failure
- RRC Radio Resource Control
- the second type of Too Late Handover is a situation in which the UE experiences RLF in the source cell before the start of handover and then tries to re-establish an RRC connection to another cell different from the source cell. is there.
- the first type of Handover Wrong ⁇ Cell is that the UE experiences RLF in the target cell during the handover procedure from the source cell to the target cell or immediately after the handover is completed, after which the source cell and target cell This is a situation where an attempt is made to re-establish an RRC connection to another cell different from any other cell.
- the second type of Handover Wrong Cell is that the UE experiences RLF in the source cell during the handover procedure from the source cell to the target cell, and then other cells that are different from both the source cell and the target cell. In this situation, the RRC connection is re-established.
- the definition of handover failure described above is not definitive and may be defined differently from the above definition.
- the second type of Handover toWrong Cell may be included in the second type of Too Late Handover. This is because the second type of Handover to Wrong ⁇ Cell is that the UE tries to re-establish an RRC connection to another cell that has not started handover after experiencing RLF in the source cell. This is because it is common to the two types.
- an RLF INDICATION message is transmitted on the X2 link from the eNB that controls the other cell to the eNB that controls the source cell.
- the RLF-INDICATION message includes the failure-cell (ie, source cell) PCI in which the UE has experienced RLF and the ECGI of the re-establishment-cell (ie, another cell) from which the UE attempted to re-establish the RRC connection.
- the same RLF INDICATION message is transmitted from the eNB controlling another cell to the eNB controlling the source cell.
- an RLF-INDICATION message is transmitted from an eNB that controls another cell to an eNB that controls the target cell, and a source cell is controlled from the eNB that controls the target cell.
- a HANDOVER REPORT message is sent to the eNB.
- This RLF INDICATION message indicates the PCI of the target cell as failure cell and the ECGI of another cell as re-establishment cell.
- This HANDOVER REPORT message indicates the type of handover failure (in this case, Handover to Wrong Cell), the ECGI of the source cell, the ECGI of the target cell as the failure cell, and the ECGI of another cell as the re-establishment cell.
- Handover parameters control, for example, Cell Individual Offset (CIO) that affects the radio quality of neighboring cells, Qoffset that acts on the radio quality of neighboring cells, a3-offset that affects the radio quality of the source cell, and the time at which handover is started Time to Trigger (TTT) is included.
- CIO Cell Individual Offset
- Qoffset that acts on the radio quality of neighboring cells
- TTT Time to Trigger
- the NRs (NRT) of the source cell is determined by the UE to try to re-establish the RRC connection. It should be noted that it may not contain an entry for a cell (re-establishment cell). However, it is not assumed that the ANR function is executed with the reception of the RLF INDICATION message or the HANDOVER REPORT message, that is, the detection of a handover failure as a trigger. Therefore, the eNB of the source cell cannot add a new NR from the source cell to another cell (re-establishment cell) to the NRs (NRT) of the source cell. Therefore, it may take time to update the NRs of the source cell (that is, to add a new NR).
- MRO is typically performed on the NRs of the source cell held in the NRT. This is because the neighbor cell list (Neighbour Cell List (NCL)) notified from the eNB to the UE is the same as or a subset of the NRs included in the NRT.
- NCL Neighbour Cell List
- neighboring cells included in the NCL are subject to measurement reports by UEs in the RRC_CONNECTED state and can be designated as target cells for UE handover. Therefore, cells that are not included in the NRs of the source cell are not targeted for handover parameter optimization. For this reason, the inability to execute ANR in response to detection of a handover failure may delay improvement of handover by MRO.
