  • the method for solving the above problem is: repeatedly transmitting information between the UE and the eNB multiple times to ensure normal communication between the UE and the eNB, and the number of repetitions is related to the coverage enhancement level. For example, in the area where the 5 dB coverage is enhanced, the UE and the eNB transmit information repetition N (N is a positive integer) times, in the area where the 10 dB coverage is enhanced, the transmission information repeats M (M is a positive integer) times, and M is greater than N.

In this way, it may cause the data to be transmitted with less repetitions in a period of time, but it uses more repetitions; or it should use more repetitions, but it uses less The data is transmitted repeatedly, which ultimately leads to unsuccessful data transmission.

Description

一种上报参考信息的方法、装置和终端 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种上报参考信息的方法和终端。
背景技术
当前标准正在讨论一类需要覆盖增强的终端或用户设备(英文:User Equipment;简称UE),例如处于地下室的电表设备,由于特殊环境的影响,可能造成高达十几dB的信号衰减,导致UE难以与演进型基站(英文:evolved Node B;简称:eNB)正常通信。
目前解决上述问题的方法是:将UE和eNB之间的信息多次重复发送,以保证UE和eNB正常通信,并且重复次数与覆盖增强等级有关。例如5dB覆盖增强的区域内,UE和eNB传输信息重复N(N为正整数)次,10dB覆盖增强的区域内,传输信息重复M(M为正整数)次,而M则大于N。
然而,此类UE由于可能移动,所以就会在不同的覆盖等级之间变化。现有技术中,eNB触发UE在物理上行链路控制信道(英文:Physical Uplink Control CHannel;简称:PUCCH)单次上报信道质量信息(英文:Channel Quality Information;简称:CQI)或周期上报CQI,那么若UE覆盖等级变化,则不能及时通知eNB。这样一来,就可能导致在一段时间内,本来可以用较少的重复次数传输数据,但却采用了较多的重复次数;或者本应采用较多的重复次数,但却采用了较少的重复次数传输数据,最终导致数据传输不成功。以上两种情况都会造成无线资源浪费。

具体实施方式
本发明实施例提供了一种上报参考信息的方法、装置和终端,实现了终端判断出与网络侧设备之间传输方式需要调整时,主动向网络侧设备上报,进而使网络侧设备及时调整传输方式的技术效果,减少了无线资源浪费。
为了解决上述技术问题,本发明提供的技术方案的解决思路包括:
在本发明实施例中,基于对网络侧设备信号的测量结果,判断终端UE和网络侧设备之间传输信息的传输方式是否需要调整;当确定所述传输方式需要调整时,向所述网络侧设备上报参考信息,以使所述网络侧设备根据所述参考信息调整所述传输方式。所以,本发明实施例中的UE能够基于测量结果对传输方式进行判断,并且在判断出和网络侧设备之间的传输方式需要调整时,主动且及时地向网络侧设备上报参考信息。从而使得网络侧设备能够及时根据上报的参考信息对传输方式进行调整,进而减少对无线资源的浪费。
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,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,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,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作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。
本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
实施例一:
本发明实施例提供了一种上报参考信息的方法,请参考图1,为适用于本实施例中上报参考信息方法的一种可能的长期演进(英文:Long Term Evolution;简称:LTE)通信系统架构。该通信系统架构包括:终端(英文:User Equipment;简称:UE)和网络侧设备。在本发明实施例中UE具体可以为地下室电表或水表设备、位于地下室的手机等,对此本申请不做具体限制。 网络侧设备,在本发明实施例中也简称为网络侧,可以是基站、增强型基站、小区或中继等。其中,基站为LTE中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,简称为eNB或e-NodeB),本发明并不限定,但为描述方便,下述实施例将以eNB为例进行说明。
以下先从UE侧介绍本实施例中的上报参考信息的方法,请参考图2所示,为本实施例中的上报参考信息方法的流程图,该方法包括:
S101:基于对网络侧设备信号的测量结果,判断终端UE和网络侧设备之间传输信息的传输方式是否需要调整。
S102:当确定所述传输方式需要调整时,向所述网络侧设备上报参考信息,以使所述网络侧设备根据所述参考信息调整所述传输方式。
具体来讲,UE首先对eNB的信号进行测量,进而获得测量结果。在具体实现过程中,eNB会向UE发送多种信号,如参考信号、调试信号、同步信号、时钟信号等,在本发明实施例中,UE可以对eNB的同步信号或参考信号进行测量而获得测量结果。在测量时,UE可以对同步信号接收质量、同步信号接收功率、参考信号接收质量或参考信号接收功率进行测量以获得测量结果。本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行选择,本申请不做具体限制。
获得测量结果后,UE判断和eNB之间的传输方式是否需要调整。在本发明实施例中,传输方式具体为UE和eNB之间传输信息以及传输数据的方式。传输方式包括但不限于UE和eNB之间传输信息的重复次数、重复等级、覆盖增强等级以及传输时间间隔(英文:Transmission Time Interval;简称:TTI)绑定尺寸。在具体实现过程中,eNB基于参考信息对传输方式进行调整时,将对重复次数,重复等级、覆盖增强等级或TTI绑定尺寸中的任意一种 进行调整,本申请不做具体限制。
当UE确定传输方式需要调整后,在S102中,UE将主动向eNB上报参考信息。在本发明实施例中,UE上报的参考信息用于为eNB在调整传输方式时提供参考。
具体来讲,UE向eNB上报参考信息,在本发明实施例中,当UE接收到eNB发送的上行授权后,可以将参考信号携带在MAC层协议数据单元(英文:Protocol Data Unit;简称:PDU)中向eNB上报。
在本发明实施例中,UE接收到eNB发送的上行授权,具体包括:
判断与第一时刻对应的第二时刻是否接收到所述网络侧设备发送的所述上行授权;或
判断从所述第二时刻开始的第二预设时长内,是否接收到所述网络侧设备发送的所述上行授权。
具体来讲,当UE确定向eNB上报参考信息时,需要判断第一时刻对应的第二时刻是否接收到eNB发送的上行授权。若接收到,则表明UE有上报权限。否则,则表明UE没有上报权限。
其中,第一时刻为上报参考信息的时刻,第二时刻在第一时刻之前。举例来说,UE需要在第N帧中发送参考信息,发送第N帧的时刻为第一时刻。那么UE需判断在第一时刻之前的,且与第一时刻对应的第二时刻是否接受到eNB发送的上行授权。假设第二时刻为第N-4帧对应的时刻。当UE在第二时刻接收的第N-4帧信息中读取到eNB发送的指示第N帧的上报授权资源时,UE确定在第一时刻具有上报权限。
或者,UE在第二时刻没有上行授权时,可以在第二预设时长,如10ms、50ms等,接收eNB发送的上行授权。若从第二时刻开始的第二预设时长内, UE接收到eNB发送的上行授权,那么表明UE有上报权限。反之,若第二时刻没有上行授权,且从第二时刻开始的第二预设时长内,UE仍然没有收到上行授权,则表明UE没有上报的权限。
在本发明实施例中,第二预设时长由eNB通过无线资源控制(英文:Radio Resource Control;简称:RRC)信令配置。
而当UE未接收到eNB发送的上行授权时,而UE又处于连接态时,则通过随机接入过程向eNB上报参考信息。
可选的,如UE通过随机接入过程向eNB上报参考信息,则具体包括:
向所述网络侧设备发送前导码;
接收所述网络侧设备基于所述前导码返回的随机接入响应;
将所述参考信息携带在RRC建立的原因值中或携带在MAC PDU中向所述网络侧设备上报。
具体来讲,为了通过随机接入过程向eNB上报参考信息,UE需要首先向eNB发送前导码。在具体实现过程中,前导码中可以包括覆盖增强等级信息,例如当前覆盖增强等级为1档,或当前覆盖增强为5dB覆盖增强,或重复次数为50次,或重复等级为1档、或TTI绑定尺寸为20等。
eNB接收到前导码后,根据前导码中的信息,生成并向UE发送随机接入响应。最后,UE根据eNB返回的随机接入响应,将参考信息携带在RRC建立的原因值中向eNB上报,或者将参考信息携带在MAC PDU中向eNB上报。
在本发明实施例中,将参考信息携带在RRC建立的原因值中的具体实施方式与现有技术类似,因此这里就不再一一赘述了。
下面,将详细介绍在有上行授权或没有上行授权时,如何将参考信息携 带在MAC PDU中向eNB上报。在具体实现过程中,携带参考信息的方式包括但不限于以下三种。
第一种:
将所述参考信息携带在MAC控制单元MAC CE中向所述网络侧设备上报。
具体来讲,为了将参考信息携带在MAC PDU中向eNB上报,本发明实施例中,UE将使用MAC PDU中的MAC控制单元(英文:control element;简称:CE)来携带。同时,还会采用MAC头部中,携带参考信息的MAC CE所对应的子头中的逻辑通道标识符(英文:logical channel identifier;简称:LCID)来指示该MAC CE携带有参考信息。而MAC PDU中的其余MAC CE的设置方式与现有技术类似。
举例来说,假设在MAC PDU中的MAC头部中包括的子头MAC CE如图3a所示。为了携带参考信息,UE将参考信息携带在第二个MAC CE当中,如图3a中的标有斜线阴影的MAC CE。
进一步,MAC头部中的子头与MAC CE是对应的,因此在MAC头部中,与第二个MAC CE对应的子头,即左起第二个子头的LCID中,将指示eNB在MAC PDU的第二个MAC CE中携带有参考信息。
第二种:
将所述参考信息携带在MAC PDU中的子头中向所述网络侧设备上报,并占用同一子头中的逻辑通道标识符LCID指示所述子头携带有所述参考信息。
当MAC PDU中的MAC CE为0比特时,为了将参考信息携带在MAC PDU中,UE将使用MAC头部中的一个子头来携带参考信息。
UE使用该子头中的一位或两位预留比特来携带参考信息。在具体实现过程中,具体使用一位还是两位预留比特位,本领域技术人员可以根据参考信息的实际数据量选择。同时,为了指示eNB,该子头中携带有参考信息,将占用同一子头中的LCID来指示该子头中携带有参考信息。而MAC头部中的其余子头的设置方式与现有技术类似。
举例来说,假设MAC PDU中的多个子头如图3b所示。UE利用第二个子头中的一位或两位预留比特为来携带编码好的参考信息。并且占用第二个子头中的LCID来指示当前第2个子头中携带有参考信息。
第三种:
将所述参考信息携带在所述MAC PDU中的第一个子头中向所述网络侧设备上报。
在第三种方式中,UE将参考信息携带在MAC头部的第一个子头中向eNB上报,如图3c所示。在具体实现过程中,UE同样需要利用一位或两位预留比特位来携带参考信息,具体利用一位还是两位,与参考信息具体数据量有关。本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行设置,本申请不做具体限制。
与第二种方式不同的时,第三种方式不需要占用第一个子头中的LCID来指示第一个子头中携带有参考信息。
另外,方式三中,对于MAC头部中其余子头的设置方式与现有技术类似,这里就不再赘述了。
在具体实现过程中,本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际需要,选择上述三中方式中任意一种来上报参考信息,本申请对此不做具体限制。本领域普通技术人员应当理解,即使在S101中判断传输方式不需要调整时, UE向eNB上报CQI时,也可以采用上述三种上报方法。本申请对上述三种携带信息方式的使用不做具体限制。
可选的,在本发明实施例中,S101具体为:
判断所述UE和所述网络侧设备之间传输信息的传输模式是否需要转换,所述传输模式包括非覆盖增强模式和覆盖增强模式;或
判断所述UE和所述网络侧设备之间的覆盖增强等级是否发生变化。
在S101中,UE需要基于测量结果判断UE和eNB之间的传输方式是否需要调整,在本发明实施例中,UE可以具体为判断传输模式是否需要转换。
具体来讲,本发明实施例中,UE和eNB之间的传输模式包括两种,非覆盖增强模式和覆盖增强模式。不同的模式,UE和eNB之间会采用不同的重复次数、覆盖增强等级或TTI绑定尺寸来传输信息。例如在非覆盖增强模式下,UE和eNB之间传输信息的重复次数为0,也就是不需要重复传输,而在覆盖增强模式下,传输信息将重复10次;在非覆盖增强模式下,TTI不需要绑定,在覆盖增强模式下,TTI绑定尺寸为10个TTI。
UE判断传输模式需要转换,在本发明实施例中,包括但不限于以下4种情况:
(11)若所述UE当前处于所述非覆盖增强模式,当所述测量结果不满足非覆盖增强模式通信需求或所述测量结果低于第一门限时,判断所述传输模式需要转换为所述覆盖增强模式。
(12)若所述UE当前处于所述非覆盖增强模式,当第一预设时长内,所述测量结果不满足所述非覆盖增强模式通信需求或所述测量结果低于所述第一门限时,判断所述传输模式需要转换为所述覆盖增强模式。
(13)若所述UE当前处于所述覆盖增强模式,当所述测量结果满足所述 非覆盖增强模式通信需求或所述测量结果不低于第二门限时,判断所述传输模式需要转换为所述非覆盖增强模式。
(14)若所述UE当前处于所述覆盖增强模式,当所述第一预设时长内,所述测量结果满足所述非覆盖增强模式通信需求或所述测量结果不低于所述第二门限时,判断所述传输模式需要转换为所述非覆盖增强模式。
具体来讲,在情况(11)中,当UE当前处于非覆盖增强模式时,若此时的测量结果不满足非覆盖增强模式通信需求,或者此时的测量结果低于第一门限时,UE则立刻判断传输模式需要转换为覆盖增强模式。
例如,在处于非增强覆盖增强模式时,通过对同步信号接收质量的测量得到的测量结果为-6dB,而第一门限为-5dB,或非覆盖增强模式通信需求为-5dB,那么测量结果低于第一门限,或不满足非覆盖增强通信需求,所以判断传输模式需要转换为增强覆盖模式。
情况(12)与情况(11)类似,相同之处就不再重复赘述了。不同的是,在情况(12)中,测量结果需要在第一预设时长内,如0.5s或1s,持续不满足非覆盖增强模式通信需要,或持续低于第一门限,UE才会判断传输模式需要转换为覆盖增强模式。
若在第一预设时长内,测量结果在一个或多个时间点满足非覆盖增强模式通信需要,或高于等于第一门限,那么UE都会判断当前传输模式不需要转换。
情况(13)和情况(14)也是类似,这里就不再重复赘述了。
在本发明实施例中,第一门限和第二门限可以相同,也可以不同。UE判断模式是否需要转换所参考的第一门限和第二门限均由eNB通过发送RRC信令的配置信息确定,如第一门限为-5dB,第二门限为-10dB,或第一门限和第 二门限均为-15dB等。因此eNB可以根据实际需要对各个UE的第一门限和第二门限进行配置。
在本发明实施例中,UE向eNB发送参考信息,具体可以包括UE对eNB信号进行测量而获得的当前无线信道质量(英文:Channel Quality Indicator;简称:CQI),或者传输方式对应信息。
UE获得CQI的实现方式与现有技术相同。不同的时,现有技术中的UE向eNB上报的CQI数据量较大,通常为20bit,其中包括调制编码信息、预编码矩阵指示信息和秩指示信息等。由于本发明实施例中的UE处于无线信道质量较差的区域,如地下室,所以本发明实施例中的CQI仅包括2bit或3bit的内容。其中CQI中至少包括调制编码方式。而预编码矩阵指示信息和秩指示信息,本发明实施例中的CQI将不再包括。进一步,CQI还不包括高阶的调制编码信息,如64QAM、256QAM等。
而当参考信息具体为传输方式对应信息时,传输方式对应信息又具体包括:
变化后的覆盖增强等级信息或覆盖增强等级索引信息;或
传输信息需要的重复次数或重复次数索引信息;或
覆盖增强等级升等或降等信息。
具体来讲,UE可以直接向eNB上报变化后的覆盖增强等级,例如5dB或10dB等。也可以向eNB上报变化后的覆盖增强等级的索引信息。具体来讲,eNB预先会维护一张覆盖增强等级的索引信息,例如0dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引1,5dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引2,10dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引3,15dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引4。那么假设UE确定变化后的覆盖增强等级为10dB覆盖增强,那么就向eNB上报10dB覆盖增强等级的索引信息3。
或者,UE也可以向eNB上报传输信息需要的重复次数,例如10次或15次等。其中,重复次数与传输模式,或与覆盖增强等级对应。例如5dB覆盖增强等级对应重复次数为10次,10dB覆盖增强等级对应重复次数为20次等。再例如非覆盖增强模式对应重复次数0次,覆盖增强模式对应重复次数20次。
再或者,UE还可以向eNB上报覆盖增强等级升等或降等信息。具体来讲,UE和eNB之间设置有缺省的几个等级,例如4个,从1等到4等分别为0dB覆盖增强、5dB覆盖增强、10dB覆盖增强和15dB覆盖增强。假设变化前为5dB增强,即第2等,而现在覆盖增强有5dB变为了15dB,那么UE向eNB上报升2等的信息。
在本申请实施例中,UE对eNB信号的测量包括两种方式。一种为直接对所述eNB信号进行测量,获得所述测量结果,另一种为根据eNB发送的RRC信令的配置信息的测量事件,对eNB信号进行测量,获得测量结果。
具体来讲,UE可以主动对eNB信号进行测量。并基于测量结果,在确定传输方式需要调整时向eNB上报参考信息。
eNB也可以通过RRC信令来配置测量事件。当UE接收到eNB配置的测量事件后,就会对eNB信号进行测量,从而获得测量结果。与UE主动对eNB信号测量不同的时,由于UE是根据RRC信令来测量的,因此无论基于测量结果判断出传输方式需要调整或是不需要调整,UE都需要将测量结果上报给eNB。且UE具体对何种信息进行测量,测量结果以何种形式上报,测量事件中均会通知。
在具体实现过程中,UE对eNB信号的测量具体为对eNB接收质量或eNB信号接收功率进行测量而获得测量结果。进一步,eNB信号具体可以为eNB发送而来的参考信号,或者同步信号。本申请所属的普通技术人员可以根据 实际需要进行设置,本申请不做具体限制。
实施例二:
本申请实施例提供了一种传输信息的方式,用于UE向网络侧设备,如eNB,基站,小区或中继等传输信息。其中,传输的信息可以为CQI,还可以是覆盖等级增强信息,或者重复次数信息等等,本申请对此不做具体限制。
本发明实施例中,传输信息的方式包括以下三种:
第一种:
将所述信息携带在MAC控制单元MAC CE中向所述网络侧设备上报。
具体来讲,为了将信息携带在MAC PDU中向网络侧设备上报,以eNB为例,本发明实施例中,UE将使用MAC PDU中的MAC CE来携带。同时,还会采用MAC头部中,携带信息的MAC CE所对应的子头中的LCID来指示该MAC CE携带有信息。而MAC PDU中的其余MAC CE的设置方式与现有技术类似。
第二种:
将所述信息携带在MAC PDU中的子头中向所述eNB上报,并占用同一子头中的逻辑通道标识符LCID指示所述子头携带有所述信息。
当MAC PDU中的MAC CE为0比特时,为了将信息携带在MAC PDU中,UE将使用MAC头部中的一个子头来携带信息。
UE使用的该子头中的一位或两位预留比特来携带信息。在具体实现过程中,具体使用一位还是两位预留比特位,本领域技术人员可以根据信息的实际数据量选择。同时,为了指示网络侧设备,该子头中携带有信息,将占用同一子头中的LCID来指示该子头中携带有信息。而MAC头部中的其余子头的设置方式与现有技术类似。
第三种:
将所述信息携带在所述MAC PDU中的第一个子头中向所述网络侧设备上报。
在第三种方式中,UE将信息携带在MAC头部的第一个子头中向eNB上报。在具体实现过程中,UE同样需要利用一位或两位预留比特位来携带信息,具体利用一位还是两位,与信息具体数据量有关。本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行设置,本申请不做具体限制。
与第二种方式不同的时,第三种方式不需要占用第一个子头中的LCID来指示第一个子头中携带有信息。
另外,方式三中,对于MAC头部中其余子头的设置方式与现有技术类似,这里就不再赘述了。
上述三种传输信息的方式进一步的详细介绍和例子,请参考前述实施例中的描述,这里就不再重复赘述了。
在具体实现过程中,本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际需要,选择上述三中方式中任意一种来上报信息,本申请对此不做具体限制。
实施例三:
本发明实施例提供了一种调整传输方式的方法,适应于网络侧设备,如eNB、基站或小区等。本发明实施例将以eNB为例。请参考图4,为本实施例中的调整传输方式的流程图,该方法包括:
S201:接收终端UE上报的参考信息。
S202:根据所述参考信息,调整与所述UE之间的传输方式。
可选的,在S201之前,eNB还会向UE发送RRC信令。在RRC信令中包括配置信息。在本发明实施例中,配置信息可用于触发UE测量eNB信号、 为UE配置判断是否转换传输模式的第一门限和第二门限,以及配置UE判断是否具有上行授权的第二预设时长。UE如何根据上述这些RRC信令中的配置信息进行上报,请参考前述实施例的描述。
当eNB向UE发送上行授权时,eNB将直接接收UE携带在MAC PDU中上的参考信息。
当eNB未向UE发送上行授权,且UE处于连接态时,UE将申请通过随机接入来上报参考信息。那么,本发明实施例中,还包括:
接收所述UE发送的前导码;
基于所述前导码,向所述UE发送随机接入响应,以使所述UE将所述参考信息携带在RRC建立的原因值中或携带在MAC PDU中向所述eNB上报。
具体来讲,eNB首先接收UE发送而来的前导码。可选的,前导码中包括重复变化后的覆盖增强等级信息。eNB根据前导码生成随机接入响应。其中,eNB根据前导码生成随机接入响应的实施方式与现有技术中生成随机接入响应的方式类似,这里就不再一一赘述了。
当UE通过随机接入过程上报参考信息时,eNB可以从RRC的原因值中获取到参考信息,或者从MAC PDU中获取到参考信息。
eNB在接收到参考信息后,将根据参考信息对传输方式进行调整。举例来说,0dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引1,5dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引2,10dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引3,15dB覆盖增强的等级对应索引4。那么假设eNB接收到的参考信息为索引3。而接收参考信息之前,eNB与UE之间的按照5dB覆盖增强,每次传输信息重复10次。假设15dB覆盖增强等级对应的重复次数为20次,那么eNB将eNB和UE之间传输信息的重复次数调整为20次。
再举例来说,当参考信息具体为CQI,且CQI高于从非覆盖增强模式转换为覆盖增强模式的门限值时,eNB将与UE之间传输信息的TTS绑定尺寸,例如从0调整到20。
可选的,当UE处于空闲状态,且有下行业务到达时,网络管理实体(英文:Mobility Management Entity;简称:MME)需要通过eNB寻呼UE。由于eNB并不会长时间保存与UE的传输方式,如传输信息的重复次数、覆盖增强等级或TTI绑定尺寸,那么当MME需要通过eNB寻呼UE时,就可能导致eNB不能按照正确的方式寻呼UE,而使UE接收不到寻呼消息。
所以,在S202之后,本发明实施例还包括:
向移动管理节点MME上报所述UE的状态信息,以使所述UE处于空闲状态,且有下行业务达到时,所述MME以对应所述状态信息的方式通知eNB寻呼所述UE;所述状态信息具体包括调整后的传输方式。
可选的,在本发明实施例中,eNB向MME状态信息,具体可以在与UE释放RRC连接之后向MME发送状态信息。也可以在eNB与MME释放S1连接之前发送状态信息,还可以在eNB向MME发送S1连接释放消息过程中或与MME释放所述S1连接之后,向MME上报状态信息。本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行选择,本申请不做具体限制。
eNB在将传输方式调整之后,将状态信息,即调整后的传输方式发送至MME,使MME保存状态信息。这样一来,当MME需要通过eNB寻呼UE时,MME再将调整后的传输方式通知eNB,从而使得eNB能够通过正确的寻呼方式寻呼UE。在本发明实施例中,状态信息可以具体为覆盖增强等级、重复次数、重复等级或TTS绑定尺寸中的任意一种。
在本发明实施例中,eNB有三种方式寻呼UE。
方式一:
当UE处于空闲状态,且MME需要寻呼UE时,MME将状态信息提供给eNB,进而eNB根据状态信息寻呼UE。例如MME将表征UE和eNB之间需要重复20次传输信息的状态信息,发送给eNB,并且通知eNB寻呼UE。那么UE将向UE发送20次寻呼信息以寻呼UE。
方式二:
利用调整后的传输方式和最差覆盖增强等级寻呼UE。
具体来讲,UE处于空闲,MME需要寻呼UE时,eNB寻呼UE的方式二有可以具体有两种。
(21)当UE处于空闲状态,且所述MME需要寻呼所述UE时,按照所述调整后的传输方式和最差覆盖增强等级寻呼所述UE。
(22)当接收到MME发送的需要所述UE的寻呼消息,且所述UE处于空闲状态时,按照所述调整后的传输方式寻呼所述UE,并等待UE响应;当在第三预设时长内未接收到所述UE响应,按照最差覆盖增强等级寻呼UE。
具体来讲,eNB可以同时根据调整后的传输方式和最差覆盖增强等级寻呼UE。例如采用调整后的重复次数和最差覆盖增强等级对应的重复次数,即最多重复次数来寻呼UE,无论以哪个次数寻呼UE,只有到UE响应,都可以表明成功寻呼。
或者,eNB也可以先以调整后的重复次数寻呼UE,并在第三预设时长,如10s或30s内等待UE响应。若收到UE响应,则表明寻呼成功,那么MME可以向UE下发消息。而当UE在第三预设时长内没有响应,那么eNB则通过最最多的重复次数来寻呼UE,并等待UE响应。
举例来说,假设调整后的重复次数为5次,最多重复次数为520次。eNB 可以同时向UE发出重复5次的寻呼信息,以及重复20次的寻呼信息,然后等待UE响应。或者eNB先向UE发送重复5次的寻呼信息,在第三预设时长,假设1min后,eNB仍未收到UE的响应。那么eNB再向UE发送从发20次的寻呼信息来寻呼UE。
方式三:
以最多重复次数、最高覆盖增强等级、最大TTS绑定尺寸或最大重复等级向所述UE发送寻呼消息。
具体来讲,当MME需要寻呼UE时,MME向eNB指示该UE是需要覆盖增强的UE。eNB收到指示后,通过最多重复次数、最高覆盖增强等级、最大TTS绑定尺寸或最大重复等级来发送寻呼消息寻呼UE。
例如当MME需要通过eNB寻呼UE时,UE可以通过最多重复次数寻呼UE。例如最多重复次数为40次,那么eNB则向UE发送40次寻呼消息。或例如覆盖增强等级有5dB覆盖增强,10dB覆盖增强和15dB覆盖增强,那么eNB通过15dB覆盖增强等级来寻呼UE。再如TTS绑定尺寸有0和20两种,那么eNB通过20的TTS绑定尺寸来寻呼UE。在具体实现过程中,本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行设置,本申请不做具体限制。
在具体实现过程中,eNB采用方式一、方式二或方式三来寻呼UE,本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行选择,对此本申请不做限制。
实施例四:
本发明实施例提供一种向MME上报的方法,包括:
向移动管理节点MME上报UE的状态信息,以使所述UE处于空闲状态,且有下行业务达到时,所述MME以对应所述状态信息的方式通知eNB寻呼所述UE;所述状态信息具体包括网络侧设备与UE之间传输方式。
具体来讲,当UE处于空闲状态,且有下行业务到达时,MME需要通过基站,如eNB寻呼UE。由于eNB并不会长时间保存与UE的传输方式,如传输信息的重复次数、重复等级、覆盖增强等级或TTI绑定尺寸。那么当MME需要通过eNB寻呼UE时,就可能导致eNB不能按照正确的方式寻呼UE,而使UE接收不到寻呼消息。
因此,本发明实施例中的eNB将会向MME上报UE的状态信息。
本领域技术人员应当理解,本发明实施例中向MME上报的方法的应用场景不限于前述实施例。eNB向MME上报的状态信息,无论是否由eNB跟UE上报的参考信息调整而来,eNB都可以实施本发明实施例中的技术方案,本申请对此不做限制。
可选的,在本发明实施例中,eNB向MME上报状态信息,具体可以在与UE释放RRC连接之后向MME发送状态信息。也可以在eNB与MME释放S1连接之前发送状态信息,还可以在eNB向MME发送S1连接释放消息过程中或与MME释放所述S1连接之后,向MME上报状态信息。本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行选择,本申请不做具体限制。
这样一来,当MME需要通过eNB寻呼UE时,MME将状态信息对应的重复通知eNB,从而使得eNB能够通过正确的寻呼方式寻呼UE。
在本发明实施例中,eNB有三种方式寻呼UE。
方式一:
当UE处于空闲状态,且MME需要寻呼UE时,MME将状态信息提供给eNB,进而eNB根据状态信息寻呼UE。例如MME将表征UE和eNB之间需要重复20次传输的状态信息,发送给eNB,并且通知eNB寻呼UE。那么UE将向UE发送20次寻呼信息以寻呼UE。
方式二:
利用调整后的传输方式和最差覆盖增强等级寻呼UE。
具体来讲,UE处于空闲,MME需要寻呼UE时,eNB寻呼UE的方式二有可以具体有两种。
(21)当UE处于空闲状态,且所述MME需要寻呼所述UE时,按照所述调整后的传输方式和最差覆盖增强等级寻呼所述UE。
(22)当接收到MME发送的需要所述UE的寻呼消息,且所述UE处于空闲状态时,按照所述调整后的传输方式寻呼所述UE,并等待UE响应;当在第三预设时长内未接收到所述UE响应,按照最差覆盖增强等级寻呼UE。
具体来讲,eNB可以同时根据调整后的传输方式和最差覆盖增强等级寻呼UE。例如采用调整后的重复次数和最差覆盖增强等级对应的重复次数,即最多重复次数来寻呼UE,无论以哪个次数寻呼UE,只有到UE响应,都可以表明成功寻呼。
或者,eNB也可以先以调整后的重复次数寻呼UE,并在第三预设时长,如10s或30s内等待UE响应。若收到UE响应,则表明寻呼成功,那么MME可以向UE下发消息。而当UE在第三预设时长内没有响应,那么eNB则通过最最多的重复次数来寻呼UE,并等待UE响应。
举例来说,假设调整后的重复次数为5次,最多重复次数为520次。eNB可以同时向UE发出重复5次的寻呼信息,以及重复20次的寻呼信息,然后等待UE响应。或者eNB先向UE发送重复5次的寻呼信息,在第三预设时长,假设1min后,eNB仍未收到UE的响应。那么eNB再向UE发送从发20次的寻呼信息来寻呼UE。
方式三:
以最多重复次数、最高覆盖增强等级、最大TTS绑定尺寸或最大重复等级向所述UE发送寻呼消息。
具体来讲,当MME需要寻呼UE时,MME向eNB指示该UE是需要覆盖增强的UE。eNB收到指示后,通过最多重复次数、最高覆盖增强等级、最大TTS绑定尺寸或最大重复等级来发送寻呼消息寻呼UE。
例如当MME需要通过eNB寻呼UE时,UE可以通过最多重复次数寻呼UE。例如最多重复次数为40次,那么eNB则向UE发送40次寻呼消息。或例如覆盖增强等级有5dB覆盖增强,10dB覆盖增强和15dB覆盖增强,那么eNB通过15dB覆盖增强等级来寻呼UE。再如TTS绑定尺寸有0和20两种,那么eNB通过20的TTS绑定尺寸来寻呼UE。在具体实现过程中,本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行设置,本申请不做具体限制。
在具体实现过程中,eNB采用方式一、方式二或方式三来寻呼UE,本申请所属领域的普通技术人员可以根据实际进行选择,对此本申请不做限制。且寻呼UE的过程可以不依赖于其他过程,可以单独实施,例如不依赖于上述UE向MME上报状态信息的过程。
