Description

一种负载均衡方法及设备
本申请要求在2015年4月15日提交中国专利局、申请号为201510179112.2、发明名称为“一种负载均衡方法及设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种负载均衡方法及设备。
背景技术
随着移动通信网络的发展,很多运营商同时拥有多种制式的网络,针对多种制式网络的管理,3GPP提出了通用无线资源管理(Common Radio Resource Management,简称CRRM)实体,即由CRRM实体作为集中控制节点对多种无线接入技术(Radio Access Technology,简称RAT)集中管理。
专利申请号为201210019107.1的专利中,CRRM获取各RAT各基站的负载信息,并根据负载信息检测出过载基站和轻载基站,在轻载基站中选择目标基站。CRRM向过载基站发送目标均衡用户切换指示消息,并请求目标基站进行资源预留。
其中,优先选择与过载基站制式相同的轻载基站作为目标基站,其次选择与过载基站距离最近的轻载基站作为目标基站。
具体地,若与过载基站制式相同的轻载基站有多个,则在该多个轻载基站中选择与过载基站距离最近的轻载基站作为目标基站;若不存在与过载基站制式相同的轻载基站,选择与过载基站距离最近的轻载基站;若与过载基站距离最近的轻载基站只有一个,则确定该基站为目标基站,否则,在多个与过载基站距离最近的轻载基站中选择负载最轻的轻载基站作为目标基站。
在选择目标基站之后,通过切换和频谱共享对过载基站与目标基站进行负载均衡。
发明人发现,优选根据采用的制式选择目标基站,其次根据与过载基站距离以及轻载基站的负荷选择目标基站,所选择目标基站可能与过载基站的交叠覆盖复用较小,能够被均衡的用户很少,难以达到最优的负载均衡效果。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请实施例中,如图1所示,CRRM进行负载均衡的详细方法流程如下:
步骤101:获取各RAT下各基站的负载信息。
步骤102:根据每个基站的负载信息确定过载基站和每个过载基站对应的轻载基站。
其中,根据基站的负载信息确定该基站是过载基站还是轻载基站不是本申请所关注的重点。所有根据负载信息确定基站是否过载的实现方式均可应用于本申请。
一个具体实现中,可以是将基站的负载信息与第一预设门限值进行比较,若超过该第一预设门限值,则确定该基站为过载基站;和/或,将基站的负载信息与第二预设门限值进行比较,若不超过该第二预设门限值,则确定该基站为轻载基站。此处仅为举例说明,实际应用中并不以此为限制。
步骤103:根据过载基站分别与对应的每个轻载基站的覆盖关系,确定与过载基站交叠覆盖区域范围最大的轻载基站为过载基站对应的目标基站。
其中,覆盖关系为以下任意一种:
被包含关系,如图2a所示,过载基站S被包含在对应的轻载基站CN内;
包含关系,如图2b所示,过载基站S包含对应的轻载基站CN;
共站交叉覆盖关系,如图2c所示,过载基站S与对应的轻载基站CN共站且交叉覆盖;
不共站交叉覆盖关系,如图2d所示,过载基站S与对应的轻载基站CN不共站且边缘交叉覆盖。
具体实施例中,根据过载基站分别与对应的每个轻载基站的覆盖关系,确定目标基站时,优先选择覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,其次选择覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站,再其次选择覆盖关系为共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站,最后选择覆盖关系为不共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站。
具体地,选择过载基站对应的目标基站的过程如下:
若存在至少一个覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,从被包含关系的轻载基站中选择一个轻载基站作为过载基站对应的目标基站;
若不存在覆盖关系为被包含关系的所述轻载基站,且存在至少一个覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站,从该包含关系的轻载基站中选择一个轻载基站作为过载基站对应的目标基站;
若不存在覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,且不存在覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基 站,且存在至少一个覆盖关系为共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站,从共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站中选择一个轻载基站作为过载基站对应的目标基站;
若不存在覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,且不存在覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站,且不存在覆盖关系为共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站,根据过载基站服务的用户设备(User Equipment,UE)类型以及轻载基站所支持的RAT制式,从过载基站对应的轻载基站中选择一个作为过载基站对应的目标基站。
优选地,若不存在覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,且不存在覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站,且不存在覆盖关系为共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站,按照以下过程选择目标基站:
分别获取每个过载基站对应的轻载基站中,以过载基站为服务基站且支持轻载基站的RAT制式的多模式多连接UE的个数;
确定获取的多模式多连接UE的个数中的最大值,将该最大值对应的轻载基站作为过载基站对应的目标基站。
其中,若最大值对应的轻载基站的个数有多个,则随机选择一个作为目标基站,或者,选择最大值对应的轻载基站中负载最小的轻载站作为目标基站。
其中,若与过载基站为被包含关系的轻载基站有且仅有一个,则将该轻载基站作为过载基站的目标基站。
其中,若不存在覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,且覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站有且仅有一个,则将该轻载基站作为过载基站的目标基站。
其中,若不存在覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,且不存在覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站,且覆盖关系为共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站有且仅有一个,则将该轻载基站作为过载基站的目标基站。
优选地,若与过载基站为被包含关系的轻载基站有多个,或者,与过载基站为包含关系的轻载基站有多个,或者,与过载基站为共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站有多个,这三种情况下均可按照以下过程从符合特定覆盖关系的多个轻载基站中选择一个作为目标基站:
若存在至少一个与过载基站的RAT制式相同的轻载基站,从与过载基站的RAT制式相同的轻载基站中选择一个作为过载基站对应的目标基站;
若不存在与过载基站的RAT制式相同的轻载基站,选择以过载基站为服务基站且支持轻载基站的RAT制式的多模式多连接UE的个数最多的轻载基站作为过载基站对应的目标基站。
具体实现中,也不排除从符合特定覆盖关系的多个轻载基站中随机选择一个作为目标基站的方式。
其中,若与过载基站的RAT制式相同的轻载基站有且仅有一个,将该轻载基站作为该 过载基站的目标基站。
进一步地,若与过载基站的RAT制式相同的轻载基站有多个,根据与过载基站的RAT制式相同的轻载基站的负载信息选择目标基站,具体如下:
获取与过载基站的RAT制式相同的轻载基站的负载信息中的最小值,将该最小值对应的轻载基站确定为过载基站对应的目标基站。
步骤104:将过载基站的部分负载均衡至该过载基站对应的目标基站。
优选地,根据过载基站的负载信息确定待均衡的目标负载量;根据目标负载量、过载基站服务的UE类型以及过载基站服务的UE的业务类型,确定至少一个目标UE,该至少一个目标UE的负载的和不小于目标负载量;将该至少一个目标UE的负载从过载基站均衡至过载基站对应的目标基站。
具体地,根据目标负载量、过载基站服务的UE类型以及过载基站服务的UE的业务类型,确定至少一个目标UE,具体如下:
确定过载基站服务的多模式多连接UE,根据目标负载量从确定的多模式多连接UE中选择目标UE,其中,选择的目标UE的负载的和不小于目标负载量。
该实施例中,优先选择多模式多连接UE为目标UE,多模式多连接UE正在进行的业务类型中,既有目标基站制式支持的业务类型,也有目标基站制式不支持的业务类型。对于目标基站制式支持的业务类型,将其全部或部分业务数据直接分流到目标基站中进行传输即可实现负荷的转移,而对于目标基站制式不支持的业务类型的数据仍然在过载基站中进行传输。而选择非多模多连接UE作为目标UE时需要进行RAT间切换才能实现负载的转移,对用户感受和网络性能影响较大,且需要采用切换方式实现负载均衡,UE的所有业务均需要从过载基站切换到目标基站,这就要求UE的所有业务均为目标基站的网络制式支持的业务类型。优先选择多模式多连接UE为目标UE的方式,避免了RAT间切换带来的切换失败和用户感受的降低,以最小的代价实现了跨RAT的基站间的负荷均衡。
其中,根据目标负载量从确定的多模式多连接UE中选择目标UE,具体如下:
确定多模式多连接UE中已与目标基站建立无线连接的UE,根据确定的UE获得第一集合,根据目标负载量从第一集合中选择目标UE,其中,选择的目标UE的负载的和不小于目标负载量。
进一步地,若确定从第一集合中选择的目标UE的负载的和小于目标负载量,确定多模式多连接UE中未与目标基站建立无线连接的UE,根据确定的UE获得第二集合,根据目标负载量以及从第一集合中选择所述目标UE的负载量,从第二集合中选择目标UE,其中,从第一集合和第二集合选择的目标UE的负载量的和不小于目标负载量。
该实施例中,由于尚未接入目标基站所支持制式网络的UE,需要先接入到目标基站所支持制式网络中,然后才能将目标UE的全部或部分负载由过载基站直接分流到目标基 站中进行传输。相比已在目标基站所支持制式网络中处于连接态的UE(即UE已与目标基站支持制式网络建立连接),需要增加接入目标基站支持制式网络的信令和流程,且存在接入不成功的风险。因此,优先选择已与目标基站建立无线连接的多模式多连接UE作为目标UE。
具体地,选择目标UE后,将目标UE的负载中对应的目标基站支持的RAT制式的数据分流至对应的目标基站。
本申请实施例中,根据过载基站分别与对应的每个轻载基站的覆盖关系,确定与过载基站交叠覆盖区域范围最大的轻载基站为过载基站对应的目标基站,将过载基站的部分负载均衡至目标基站,相比较于选择相同制式的基站或距离最近的基站或负载最轻的基站为目标基站的方式,可以均衡的UE数较多,在不影响网络性能的同时,均衡效果更好。
并且,在均衡时,不采用切换的方式,而是优先使得具有多模多连接能力的UE,在维持与过载基站无线连接的基础上再与跨制式目标基站建立连接的方式,在不影响网络性能的同时,均衡效果会更好。
本申请实施例中,在选择目标基站时,优先选择被包含关系的轻载基站为目标基站,即过载基站被包含在轻载基站的覆盖范围内,使得过载基站中只要是能够支持目标基站的制式的UE的负载均可被均衡至目标基站,均衡成功的概率较高,且对网络性能指标的影响也较小。
在不存在包含关系的轻载基站的情况下,优先选择被包含关系的轻载基站为目标基站,即过载基站的覆盖范围包含轻载基站的覆盖范围,使得过载基站的支持目标基站的制式的中心UE的负载均可被均衡至目标基站,均衡成功的概率较高,且对网络性能指标的影响也较小。
在不存在包含关系的轻载基站,且不存在被包含关系的轻载基站的情况下,优先选择共站交叉覆盖关系的轻载基站作为目标基站,使得过载基站的支持目标基站的制式的非边缘UE的负载均可被均衡至目标基站,均衡成功的概率较高,且对网络性能指标的影响也较小。
以下通过几个具体实施例对本申请实施例中负载均衡过程进行举例说明。
第一具体实施例:
假设多RAT场景下,过载基站对应的轻载基站有多个,且过载基站仅与其中一个轻载基站的覆盖关系为被包含关系,即过载基站被包含在对应的轻载基站中,且过载基站与被包含关系的轻载基站的制式不相同。
步骤一,CRRM获取各RAT下各基站的负载信息,根据每个基站的负载信息确定过载基站,假设过载基站表示为S,过载基站的制式表示为RAT1;
步骤二,在过载基站S的邻区中,选择负载小于设定门限值的基站作为候选轻载基站, 假设候选轻载基站的个数为N,候选轻载基站分别表示为C1、C2、...、CN,候选轻载基站与过载基站的覆盖关系、制式关系如表1所示:
表1
过载基站 候选轻载基站 覆盖关系 制式关系
S C1 包含关系 相同
S C2 被包含关系 不同
S C3,…,CN-1 不共站交叉覆盖关系 不同
S CN 共站交叉覆盖关系 不同
步骤三,在N个候选轻载基站中,优先选择与过载基站满足被包含关系的候选轻载基站作为目标基站,即选择C2作为目标基站,假设C2所支持的制式为RNT2。
步骤四,根据过载基站所服务的UE的类型以及目标基站的制式确定目标UE的各优先级的选择集合。
具体地,确定以过载基站作为服务基站,且支持RNT2制式的UE的集合,记为集合A;
优先选择集合A中多模式多连接UE且已与目标基站建立无线连接的UE作为目标UE,即第一优先级选择集合A1为{集合A中已与目标基站建立无线连接的多模式多连接UE};
其次选择集合A中多模式多连接UE且未与目标基站建立无线连接的UE作为目标UE,即第二优先级选择集合A2为{集合A中未与目标基站建立无线连接的多模式多连接UE};
最后选择集合A中非多模式多连接UE,且所有业务为目标基站支持的RAT2制式可支持的业务类型的UE作为目标UE,即第三优先级选择集合A3为{集合A中的非多模式多连接UE,且所有业务为目标基站支持的RAT2制式可支持的业务类型}。
步骤五,根据过载基站需要均衡的目标负载量,记为LOAD_T,按照各优先级的选择集合的优先级顺序选择目标UE。
具体地,优先选择第一优先级选择集合A1中的UE,集合A1中的各UE按照负载量的大小降序排列,按照排列顺序依次选择集合A1中UE,并更新LOAD_T为LOAD_T减去选择的UE的负载量,直至LOAD_T小于零,结束目标UE选择过程,如果集合A1中已没有可选择的UE,且LOAD_T仍大于零,则继续从第二优先级选择集合A2选择目标UE,集合A2中的各UE按照负载量的大小降序排列;
继续按照排列顺序依次从集合A2中选择UE,并更新LOAD_T为LOAD_T减去选择 的UE的负载量,直至LOAD_T小于零,结束目标UE选择过程;如果集合A2中已没有可选择的UE,且LOAD_T仍大于零,则继续从第三优先级选择集合A3中选择目标UE,集合A3中的各UE按照负载量的大小降序排列;
继续按照排列顺序依次从集合A3中选择UE,并更新LOAD_T为LOAD_T减去选择的UE的负载量,直至LOAD_T小于零,结束目标UE选择过程;如果集合A3中已没有可选择的UE,结束目标UE选择过程。
步骤六,将目标UE的全部或部分负载均衡至目标基站。
具体地,可以采用以下均衡策略中的一种或多种进行负载均衡:
第一种,将已与目标基站建立无线连接的多模式多连接UE的业务数据分流到目标基站中传输;
第二种,将未与目标基站建立无线连接的多模式多连接UE,在目标基站建立无线连接之后,将业务数据分流到目标基站中进行传输;
第三种,在目标基站为目标UE预留切换资源成功后,指示过载基站向非多模式多连接UE且所有业务为目标基站支持的RAT2制式可支持的业务类型的目标UE发送切换命令,通过异系统切换过程切换至目标基站。
第二具体实施例:
假设多RAT场景下,过载基站对应的轻载基站有多个,不存在与过载基站的覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,且存在两个与过载基站的覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站,该两个为包含关系的轻载基站的制式与过载基站的制式不同。
步骤一、步骤二的具体过程参见第一具体实施例中步骤一和步骤二,步骤二获取的候选轻载基站与过载基站的覆盖关系、制式关系如表2所示:
表2
过载基站 候选轻载基站 覆盖关系 制式关系
S   被包含关系  
S C1 包含关系 不同
S C2 包含关系 不同
S C3,…,CN-1 不共站交叉覆盖关系 不同
S CN 共站交叉覆盖关系 不同
步骤三,优先选择与过载基站的覆盖关系为被包含关系的轻载基站,确定不存在被包含关系的轻载基站后,选择与过载基站的覆盖关系为包含关系的轻载基站,确定存在两个为包含关系的轻载基站C1和C2,从两个包含关系的轻载基站中选择一个作为目标基站。
具体地,优先选择两个包含关系的轻载基站中制式与过载基站的制式相同的基站,确定不存在与过载基站的制式相同基站,分别统计每个包含关系的轻载基站中、以过载基站为服务基站且支持该包含关系的轻载基站的制式的多模式多连接UE的数量,假设C1对应的统计获得的数量为MC1,C2对应的统计获得的数据为MC2,比较MC1和MC2,如果MC1>MC2,选择C1作为目标基站;如果MC1<MC2,选择C2作为目标基站;如果MC1=MC2,选择C1和C2中负载最轻的基站作为目标基站,假设目标基站支持的制式为RAT2,过载基站支持的制式为RAT1。
步骤四,根据过载基站所服务的UE的类型以及目标基站的制式确定目标UE的各优先级的选择集合。
具体地,确定以过载基站作为服务基站,且支持RNT2制式的UE的集合,记为集合A;
优先选择集合A中多模式多连接UE且已与目标基站建立无线连接的UE作为目标UE,即第一优先级选择集合A1为{集合A中已与目标基站建立无线连接的多模式多连接UE};
其次选择集合A中多模式多连接UE且未与目标基站建立无线连接的UE作为目标UE,即第二优先级选择集合A2为{集合A中未与目标基站建立无线连接的多模式多连接UE},具体地,优先选择处于过载基站中心覆盖区位置的UE,比如UE接收功率大于设定门限值时确定位于基站中心覆盖区,因为处于过载基站的中心覆盖区的UE,处于目标基站的覆盖范围的概率较大,成功接入到目标基站的概率较高,即集合A2中第一优先级子集合A21为{集合A中未与目标基站建立无线连接、且处于过载基站中心覆盖区的多模多连接UE},集合A2中的第二优先级子集合A22为{集合A中未与目标基站建立无线连接、且处于过载基站非中心覆盖区的多模多连接UE};
