Description

负荷均衡方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种负荷均衡方法及装置。
背景技术
在相关技术中,基于测量的负荷均衡是通过切换走占用较多资源的用户设备(User Equipment,简称为UE)来达到降负荷的目的,图1是根据相关技术的负荷均衡处理方法示意图,如图1所示,负荷均衡的一般处理流程为:在一个负荷均衡周期到达时,进行是否需要执行负荷均衡的判断。当服务小区无线负荷达到一定的门限,将服务小区和所有邻区的绝对可用容量进行比较,如果服务小区所剩的可用容量是最少的,认为可以执行负荷均衡。然后进行UE选择,选择占用较多物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,简称为PRB)资源和优先级比较低的UE,给UE下发所有邻区的频点进行A4事件测量,UE上报相应的测量报告后,根据测量报告中携带的邻区负荷是否超过邻区过负荷门限以及负荷轻重来决定切换目标小区列表顺序,最终以UE切换到某个负荷最轻的邻区达到降负荷的目的。
该种方法在向UE下发测量时,没有区分频点的覆盖情况,并且没有考虑每个频点下对应邻区的负荷情况,UE根据邻区信号质量情况上报测量报告,测量报告中携带的邻区负荷情况有可能都不满足条件,或者负荷本身也处于较重的状态,不能达到系统整体的均衡目的。另外,对UE下发了较多的异频频点时,UE要进行各个频点的测量,会有更多的耗电,不利于UE持续工作。
综上所述,一方面UE测量上报的频点下邻区有可能都不能达到负荷较轻的条件,不利于系统整体的负荷均衡;另一方面UE做多个频点的异频测量会增加电能损耗,不利于UE持续工作。
针对相关技术中的负荷均衡方案使得UE耗电量增加的问题,目前尚未提出有效的解决方案。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供了一种负荷均衡方法及装置,以至少解决相关技术中的负荷均衡方案使得UE耗电量增加的问题。

在按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区之前,还包括:对所有邻区的频点设置优先级,其中,设置覆盖情况较好的频点的优先级较高。
按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区包括:按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在在需要进行负荷均衡的方向上负荷率小于预设门限的邻区。
在根据预设条件选择进行负荷均衡的UE之后,还包括:判断在未发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换的前提下,确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数是否满足第一预设阈值;如果是,则对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量;根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区。
在对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量之后,还包括:判断进行负荷均衡的次数是否满足第二预设阈值;如果是,则按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区,并选择前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量;根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区。
在对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量的情况下,将确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数重置为0;和/或,在发生了基于负荷均衡的UE切换的情况下,将确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数重置为0。
选择前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量包括:选择所述UE支持的频段对应的频点中,前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量。

图4是根据本发明优选实施例的负荷均衡整体处理流程示意图。
具体实施方式
下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
在本实施例中,提供了一种负荷均衡方法,图2是根据本发明实施例的负荷均衡方法的流程图,如图2所示,该方法包括如下步骤:
步骤S202,确定服务小区需要进行负荷均衡;
步骤S204,根据预设条件选择进行负荷均衡的UE;
步骤S206,按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区,并选择前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量,N为正整数;
步骤S208,根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区并进行切换。
本实施例通过上述步骤,在选择出进行负荷均衡的UE后,按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区,并选择前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行A4事件测量;根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区并进行切换,从而使得UE仅需要对选择出的前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点进行测量,而无需对所有邻区的频点进行测量,解决了相关技术中的负荷均衡方案使得UE耗电量增加的问题,在保证UE持续业务的情况下,可以令网络管理者根据网络覆盖情况灵活调整负荷均衡的目标频点,达到更好的负荷均衡效果,减少UE在异频测量上的耗电,增强续航能力。
其中,上述预设条件通常为占用较多资源和优先级比较低,与相关技术中的负荷均衡方案中选择UE的方式相同,在本实施例中不做赘述。
优选地,可以对所有邻区的频点预先设置优先级,其中,可以按照覆盖情况较好的频点的优先级较高的方式进行设置。
优选地,可以按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在在需要进行负荷均衡的方向上负荷率小于预设门限的邻区。
优选地,在根据预设条件选择进行负荷均衡的UE之后,还可以判断在未发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换的前提下,确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数是否满足第一预设阈值(在下文中还记为PauseJudgementNum);如果是,则对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量;根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区。通过这种方式,可以避免由于对上述负荷率的预设门限设置的不合理导致的负荷均衡失效。其中,上述在未发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换的前提下,确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数可以按照如下方式统计:统计确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数,如果在统计过程中发生了基于负荷均衡的UE切换,则重置该次数,如果未发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换,则在统计的该次数达到上述第一预设阈值的情况下,则对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量,并根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区。
优选地,在对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量之后,还可以判断进行负荷均衡的次数是否满足第二预设阈值(在下文中还记为PauseExcuteNum);如果是,则按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区,并选择前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量;根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区。通过上述方式,实现了相关技术中的负荷均衡方案与本实施例中的负荷均衡方案的兼容。
优选地,在对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量的情况下,将确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数重置为0;和/或,在发生了基于负荷均衡的UE切换的情况下,将确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数重置为0。
优选地,在步骤S206的选择前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量过程中,还可以具体按照如下方式选择频点:选择所述UE支持的频段对应的频点中,前N个存在负荷率小于预设门限的邻区的频点作为目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量。
对应于上述方法,在本实施例中还提供了一种负荷均衡装置,该装置设置为实现上述实施例及优选实施方式,已经进行过说明的不再赘述。如以下所使用的,术语“模块”可以实现预定功能的软件和/或硬件的组合。尽管以下实施例所描述的装置较佳地以软件来实现,但是硬件,或者软件和硬件的组合的实现也是可能并被构想的。
图3是根据本发明实施例的负荷均衡装置的结构框图,如图3所示,该装置包括确定模块32、选择模块34、下发模块36和负荷均衡模块38,下面对各个模块进行详细说明:

优选地,所述装置还可以包括:设置模块,与下发模块36相连,设置为对所有邻区的频点设置优先级,其中,设置覆盖情况较好的频点的优先级较高。
优选地,所述下发模块36可以包括:判断单元,设置为按照频点的优先级从高到低依次判断各个频点下是否存在在需要进行负荷均衡的方向上负荷率小于预设门限的邻区。
优选地,所述装置还可以包括:统计模块,与下发模块36相连,设置为判断在未发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换的前提下,确定需要进行负荷均衡的次数是否满足第一预设阈值;所述下发模块36,还设置为在所述统计模块的判断结果为是的情况下,对除不可用的频点之外的所有频点都作为所述目标频点下发给所述UE进行测量;所述负荷均衡模块38,还设置为根据所述UE上报的测量结果选择所述UE的目标切换小区。
下面结合优选实施例进行说明,以下优选实施例结合了上述实施例及其优选实施方式。
在以下优选实施例中,以LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)移动通信系统为例进行说明,提供了一种基于测量的负荷均衡方法和装置。其中,该方法对每个频点设定可配置的优先级,该优先级体现的是网络中各个频点的覆盖情况。覆盖良好的频点优先级设置较高,覆盖较差的频点优先级设置较低。不同频点的优先级可以相同,优先级高的频点优先考虑下发,优先级为0的频点不考虑下发。在向UE下发测量频点前对最高优先级频点下的邻区负荷情况进行统计,判断在这些邻区中是否至少有一个邻区在需要进行负荷均衡的方向上负荷率小于相应的LTE邻小区过负荷门限,选择满足条件的一个或几个(N个)频点作为目标频点下发给UE进行测量(Optimized Method方式)。
如果较高优先级的频点无法满足上述条件,那么考虑次高优先级的频点进行同样的处理,如果仍然没有选出频点,那么就不下发A4测量给UE。
为了避免UE所处的区域所选择的频点信号覆盖不好,统计PauseJudgmentNum次需要执行负荷均衡后,如果基站一直没有UE发生基于负荷均衡的切换,那么转换为将所有优先级不为0的频点都下发A4测量的方式(即Normal Method)进行。在PauseExcuteNum次需要执行负荷均衡后,再恢复成原来的方式(即Optimized Method,也即上述实施例中的负荷均衡方式)。
其中,上述载频优先级,PauseJudgmentNum和PauseExcuteNum都是可以配置的。
本优选实施例所述的基于测量的负荷均衡方法和装置,其处理分为以下几个步骤:
步骤一、eNB负荷均衡功能打开,负荷均衡周期到达,eNB下某个小区负荷达到门限,和所有邻区比较绝对可用小区容量后,如果该小区负荷最高,需要执行负荷均衡。
步骤二、判断是否处于Normal Method状态,结果为是则进而判断是否有负荷均衡执行次数大于等于PauseExcuteNum,结果也为是那么转换为Optimized Method状态,重新开始统计负荷均衡执行次数和发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换次数;否则继续执行该种方法和进行相应统计。
如果处于Optimized Method状态,执行负荷均衡次数超过PauseJudgmentNum,并且eNB没有UE发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换,将转换为Normal Method状态,重新开始统计负荷均衡执行次数;如果发生过基于负荷均衡的UE切换,负荷均衡执行次数和发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换次数都重新开始统计;除此以外,继续执行该种方法和进行相应统计。
步骤三、判决需要使用Optimized Method,对该小区邻区频点进行统计分析,从频点优先级最高的频点开始,观察该频点对应邻区中是否至少有一个邻区的负荷率低于邻区过负荷门限。如果最高优先级的频点满足这样的条件,则向选择的UE下发这些频点进行A4测量;如果最高优先级的频点中没有满足条件的,那么在次高优先级频点中继续进行选择。总之,在较高优先级的频点中能选出满足条件的频点,即停止。
判决需要使用Normal Method,将所有优先级不为0的频点选定。
将选定的频点给UE下发测量重配进行A4测量。
步骤四、基站收到UE测量报告后,进行降负荷处理,将UE切换到测量报告中负荷最低的目标邻区,发生基于负荷均衡的UE切换次数加1。
通过本优选实施例中的负荷均衡方法,在相关技术的基础上,优化了负荷均衡功能,在保证UE持续业务的情况下,可以令网络管理者根据网络覆盖情况灵活调整负荷均衡的目标频点,达到更好的负荷均衡效果,减少UE在异频测量上的耗电,增强续航能力。
