为了达到UE在空闲态下省电的目的,在M2M系统中引入了扩展的非连续接受(eDRX,Extended Discontinuous Reception)机制,UE在空闲状态下对寻呼信道的监听采用eDRX方式。也即:UE只在每个eDRX激活期的寻呼时刻到来时才监听寻呼信道,若没有监听到寻呼消息就进入睡眠状态,等待下一个寻呼时刻到来时再醒来监听寻呼信道,从而降低了UE的功耗。具体的,UE自己维护一个UE-specific的eDRX周期,UE通过NAS消息或其它方式将eDRX周期上 报给核心网设备,核心网设备在下发寻呼消息时将eDRX周期和UE标识等信息携带在paging消息中下发给基站,基站根据这些信息计算UE的寻呼超帧(PSF,Paging Super frame)和PO,在PSF和PO指示的寻呼时刻发送寻呼消息;UE根据自己的eDRX周期和UE标识等信息计算PSF和PO,在PSF和PO指示的寻呼时刻接收寻呼消息。UE计算出来的PSF和PO与各基站计算出来的PSF和PO应该是相同的。其中,PSF是存在PO的超帧,PO是寻呼超帧中存在寻呼消息的帧。
发明人发现目前的寻呼方法具有如下问题:考虑到UE的移动性,如果UE在空闲态时在不同的小区之间发生了移动,UE可能在当前小区的寻呼时刻到来前发生小区重选,重选到另外一个新小区,而重选完成时新小区的寻呼时刻已经过去,从而UE错过了所述当前小区的寻呼时刻,也错过了新小区的寻呼时刻,UE进行小区重选后只能等下一个eDRX周期的寻呼时刻到来才能接收寻呼消息。由于M2M系统中eDRX周期较长,长达一小时或者数小时,UE在重选到新小区后,可能要等待将近一个eDRX周期的时间才能等到下一个寻呼时刻的到来,由于等待的时间较长,UE很可能在这段时间里再次发生小区重选,从而再次错过当前小区快要到来的寻呼时刻,重选到新小区后也可能刚好错过新小区的寻呼时刻,如此类推,如果UE一直运动,可能在等待时间内不断出现小区重选,导致UE一直等不到寻呼时刻,无法接收寻呼消息。

为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案,下面将对实施例描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,对于本领域普通技术人员而言,在不付出创造性劳动性的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

具体实施方式
发明人发现,导致UE发生小区重选错过重选前后两个小区的寻呼时刻的原因之一在于:基站之间的时间不同步,从而虽然不同基站计算得到的同一UE的PSF和PO相同,但是由于基站之间时间不同步,所以相同的PSF和PO指示的寻呼时刻在不同的基站其对应的绝对时间可能是不同的,例如假设UE1的PSF1和PO1指示寻呼时刻1,UE1当前位于基站A的小区a,重选到基站B的小区b,基站A的小区中该UE1的寻呼时刻1在绝对时间t1到来,基站B的小区中该UE1的寻呼时刻1在绝对时间t2到来;如果t2<t1,即便UE在小区a的寻呼时刻1到来之前开始进行小区重选至小区b,且UE在完成重选时的时间早于t1,但是只要该时间晚于t2,UE就会错过小区b的寻呼时刻1,从而UE1需要等待小区b在下一个eDRX周期中的寻呼时刻,进而如果UE1移动频繁,重复发生上述情况,则UE1将长时间无法监听到寻呼消息,进而无法接收到核心网希望下发的数据。
为此,本发明实施例提供了一种寻呼方法,以减少上述情况下UE无法监听到寻呼消息问题的发生。
为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本发明实施例中的技术方案,并使本发明实施例的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明实施例中技术方案作进一步详细的说明。
本发明实施例所述寻呼方法可以应用于M2M、LTE等通信系统满足以下条件的寻呼场景中:采用eDRX方式且UE具有一定移动性。例如,参见图1为本发明实施例寻呼方法所应用的一种网络结构举例。其中包括:核心网设备110、基站120、各基站120包括的小区130、以及UE140。其中,UE140处于小区130中的某一个小区中,UE140具有一定的移动性,可以移动至其他小区中。
其中,本发明实施例应用于M2M时,本发明实施例中所述的无线帧是M2M中的超帧,所述的子帧是超帧的帧,核心网设备可以为服务GPRS支持节点)(SGSN,Service GPRS Support Node);本发明实施例应用于LTE时,本发明实施例中所述的无线帧是LTE中的帧,所述的子帧是LTE中的子帧,核心网设备可以为移动性管理实体(MME,Mobility Management Entity)。M2M中的寻呼超帧和LTE中的寻呼帧等存在PO的无线帧在本发明实施例中称为寻呼无线帧(PF,Paging Frame),PF是存在PO的无线帧,PO是无线帧中存在寻呼消息的子帧,一个PF中可能包括一个或多个PO。
参见图2,为本发明实施例寻呼方法的一种流程示意图,该方法包括:
步骤201:核心网设备确定同步时机到来时,所述核心网设备确定基准帧信息,所述基准帧信息包括:无线帧号。
其中,所述核心网设备确定同步时机到来可以包括:
所述核心网设备确定所述寻呼区中有新基站连接至所述核心网设备;或者,
所述核心网设备确定所述寻呼区中有基站重启后重新连接至所述核心网设备;或者,
所述核心网设备确定到达每个同步周期的同步时刻;或者,
所述核心网设备接收到所述寻呼区中的至少一个基站发送的同步请求消息。
其中,所述同步周期的具体周期长度本发明实施例不限制,每个同步周期中的同步时刻本发明实施例并不限制,只要核心网设备发送基准帧信息即可。
本步骤中,核心网设备确定基准帧信息,可以包括:
核心网设备预先存储初始的无线帧号;
核心网设备计算当前时间与初始时刻之间的绝对时间偏差,所述初始时刻是所述无线帧号指示的无线帧的初始时刻;
核心网设备将所述绝对时间偏差和所述初始的无线帧号确定为基准帧信息。
本步骤中,核心网设备确定基准帧信息可以包括:所述核心网设备预先存储初始的无线帧号;所述核心网设备根据无线帧的时长持续将存储的所述无线帧号更新为所述核心网设备当前无线帧的帧号;所述核心网设备读取所述核心网设备存储的无线帧号。
例如,假设核心网设备预先存储的初始的无线帧号为0,初始时刻为0,无线帧的时长为T,则时间T时,当前无线帧的帧号为1,用该帧号1更新存储的无线帧号0,时间2T时,当前无线帧的帧号为2,用该帧号2更新存储的无线帧号1,以此类推,实现存储的无线帧号的实时更新,保证存储的无线帧号始终是当前无线帧的帧号。
其中,所述基准帧信息还可以包括:子帧号;此时,所述核心网设备确定基准帧信息,可以包括:所述核心网设备预先存储初始的无线帧号和子帧号;所述核心网设备根据系统寻呼帧和子帧的时长持续将存储的所述无线帧号更新为当前无线帧的帧号、将存储的所述子帧号更新为当前无线帧中当前子帧的子帧号;所述核心网设备读取所述核心网设备存储的无线帧号和子帧号。
例如,假设核心网设备预先存储的初始的无线帧号为0、子帧号为0,初始 时刻为0,无线帧的时长为T,每个无线帧有64个子帧,则时间T/64时,当前无线帧的帧号为0,子帧号为1,用该帧号0、子帧号1更新存储的无线帧号0、子帧号0,时间T/32时,当前无线帧的帧号为0,子帧号为2,用该帧号0、子帧号2更新存储的无线帧号0、子帧号1,以此类推,实现存储的无线帧号和子帧号的实时更新,保证存储的无线帧号和子帧号始终是当前无线帧的帧号以及当前无线帧的当前子帧的子帧号。
以上描述中,是核心网设备自己维护核心网设备当前的帧信息,以维护的帧信息作为基准帧信息;核心网设备也可以自己不维护当前的帧信息,而是从寻呼区中的某个基站获取基站当前的帧信息,作为基准帧信息。
例如,所述核心网设备确定基准帧信息,可以包括:
所述核心网设备接收第一基站发送的所述第一基站的帧信息,将所述第一基站的帧信息确定为所述基准帧信息;所述帧信息包括:所述第一基站发送所述帧信息时所述第一基站的无线帧号;所述第一基站是寻呼区中的基站。
或者,所述核心网设备确定基准帧信息,可以包括:

所述帧信息包括:所述第一基站发送所述帧信息时所述第一基站的无线帧号和子帧号;所述第一基站是寻呼区中的基站。
以上两个实例是第一基站可以主动向核心网设备发送第一基站的帧信息,在实际应用中,第一基站也可以在核心网设备请求时,向核心网设备发送第一基站的帧信息,此时,
所述核心网设备确定基准帧信息,可以包括:
所述核心网设备向所述第一基站发送帧信息请求;
所述核心网设备接收第一基站发送的所述第一基站的帧信息,将所述第一基站的帧信息确定为所述基准帧信息;所述帧信息包括:所述第一基站发送所述帧信息时所述第一基站的无线帧号;所述第一基站是寻呼区中的基站。
或者,所述核心网设备确定基准帧信息,可以包括:
所述核心网设备向所述第一基站发送帧信息请求;
所述核心网设备接收第一基站发送的所述第一基站的帧信息,将所述第一基站的帧信息确定为所述基准帧信息;
所述帧信息包括:所述第一基站发送所述帧信息时所述第一基站的无线帧号 和子帧号;所述第一基站是寻呼区中的基站。
步骤202:所述核心网设备向寻呼区中的基站发送所述基准帧信息,以便所述基站根据所述基准帧信息同步所述基站中的无线帧。
其中,本步骤中核心网设备可以向寻呼区中所有基站发送所述基准帧信息,也可以向寻呼区中的某一个或某几个基站发送所述基准帧信息,具体可以在实际应用中自主设定,这里并不限制。例如,当核心网设备的同步时机为新基站连接至所述核心网设备时,核心网设备可以仅向新基站发送所述基准帧信息,也可以向寻呼区中所有基站发送基准帧信息;或者,核心网设备的同步时机为接收到某个基站的同步请求消息时,本步骤中核心网设备可以仅向发送同步请求消息的基站发送基准帧信息,也可以向寻呼区中的所有基站发送基准帧信息。
本实施例中,核心网设备向基站发送核心网设备当前的基准帧信息,基准帧信息包括:无线帧号,以便基站根据所述基准帧信息更新基站中的无线帧,从而使得核心网设备与基站之间至少无线帧号同步,将核心网设备与基站之间的时间差限制在无线帧的时长之内,从而尽量缩小不同基站的小区之间的时间误差,从而能够在一定程度上减少UE虽然在当前小区的寻呼时刻之前完成小区重选仍然错过新小区的寻呼时刻的问题的发生。
参见图3,为本发明实施例寻呼方法的另一种流程示意图,该方法包括:
步骤301:基站接收核心网设备发送的基准帧信息,所述帧信息包括:无线帧号;
步骤302:基站根据所述基准帧信息同步所述基站中的无线帧。
其中,所述基站根据所述基准帧信息同步所述基站中的无线帧,可以包括:
所述基站将所述基站中当前无线帧的帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述无线帧号。
其中,所述帧信息还可以包括:子帧号,相应的,所述基站根据所述基准帧信息同步所述基站中的无线帧,可以包括:
所述基站将所述基站中当前无线帧的帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述无线帧号,将所述基站中当前无线帧的子帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述子帧号。
其中,所述帧信息还可以包括:当前时间与初始时刻之间的绝对时间偏差,相应的,所述基站根据所述基准帧信息同步所述基站中的无线帧,可以包括:
所述基站根据绝对时间偏差和初始的无线帧号确定当前无线帧的帧号和当前无线帧中当前子帧的子帧号。
具体的,基站可以根据绝对时间偏差与无线帧的长度计算得到绝对时间偏差包括的无线帧的数量以及剩余时间偏差,根据剩余时间偏差和子帧长度计算得到剩余时间偏差包括的子帧的数量;
将初始的无线帧号加上无线帧的数量,得到当前无线帧的帧号;根据子帧的数量确定当前无线帧中当前子帧的子帧号。
例如,初始的无线帧号为1,绝对时间长度/一个无线帧的长度=5,余数为x,x/一个子帧的长度=3,则当前无线帧的帧号为1+5=6,子帧的子帧号如果从0开始计数,则当前子帧的子帧号为2;如果x除以一个子帧的长度无法整除,得到的子帧的数量可以向上取整、向下取整、或者四舍五入,得到子帧的数量,例如x/一个子帧的长度=3.4,则子帧号可以向上取整为4,或者向下取整为3,也可以四舍五入为3。
或者,基站可以将绝对时间偏差与无线帧的长度相除向上取整得到无线帧的数量,将初始的无线帧号加上无线帧的数量,得到当前无线帧的帧号;将当前无线帧中当前子帧的子帧号确定为0。
例如,绝对时间长度/一个无线帧的长度=5.x,向上取整得到无线帧的数量为6,假设初始的无线帧号是0,则当前无线帧的帧号为6,子帧号为0。
本实施例中,基站接收核心网设备发送的基准帧信息,所述基准帧信息包括:无线帧号,根据所述基准帧信息同步所述基站中的无线帧,从而使得核心网设备与基站之间至少无线帧号同步,将核心网设备与基站之间的时间差限制在无线帧的时长之内,从而尽量缩小不同基站的小区之间的时间误差,从而能够在一定程度上减少UE虽然在当前小区的寻呼时刻之前完成小区重选仍然错过新小区的寻呼时刻的问题的发生。
参见图4,为本发明实施例寻呼方法的另一种流程示意图,该方法包括:
步骤401:UE进入空闲态时,计算所述UE的寻呼无线帧(PF,Paging Frame)和PO;
步骤402:所述UE在所述PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻之前的第一时刻醒来,确定所述UE是否进行小区重选;所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间;
其中,所述小区重选的时间一般决定于小区重选过程中进行邻区测量时间。
步骤403:如果进行小区重选,完成小区重选后,在重选小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息。
步骤404:如果不进行小区重选,在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息,或进入睡眠状态直到寻呼时刻之前醒来在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼信道。
本实施例中,UE进入空闲态时,计算PF和PO,在所述PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻之前的第一时刻醒来,确定所述UE是否进行小区重选;所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间;如果进行小区重选,完成小区重选后,在重选小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息;
如果不进行小区重选,在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息,或进入睡眠状态直到寻呼时刻之前醒来在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼信道。从而尽量保证UE在当前小区的寻呼时刻之前完成小区重选,与前述核心网设备与基站之间至少无线帧号同步相结合,在一定程度上减少UE虽然在当前小区的寻呼时刻之前完成小区重选仍然错过新小区的寻呼时刻的问题的发生。
参见图5,为本发明实施例寻呼方法一种流程示意图;该方法包括:
步骤501:在每个同步时机到来时,核心网设备确定基准帧信息,所述基准帧信息包括:无线帧号和子帧号,向基站发送所述基准帧信息。
其中,同步时机可以包括:所述寻呼区中有新基站连接至所述核心网设备;或者,所述寻呼区中有基站重启后重新连接至所述核心网设备;或者,到达每个同步周期的同步时刻;或者,所述核心网设备接收到所述寻呼区中的至少一个基站发送的同步请求消息。
其中,核心网设备可以通过设置同步定时器的方式来确定同步周期的同步时刻到来,具体的,同步定时器的时长等于同步周期时长,具体同步周期时长本发明实施例并不限制,同步定时器超时时,同步时刻到来,触发步骤501,核心网设备在发送基准帧信息后重置同步定时器。
其中,核心网设备可以通过一条新定义的S1口消息发送所述基准帧信息,也可以在现有的消息中通过新增加的IE携带所述基准帧信息。如果在现有的消息中增加IE,所述消息可以是核心网设备发送给基站的信令消息或数据消息,本发明实施例并不限制;另外,可以在现有消息预留的一个比特位中指示此条消息是否携带帧信息,若携带,则在消息的某个部分添加此IE。
另外,还可以在携带所述基准帧信息的消息中指示基站是否需要向SGSN反馈接收确认消息。
此时,所述同步时机还可以包括:步骤504中核心网设备在预设时间内没有接收到某一个或某几个基站发送的接收确认消息。
其中,所述同步请求消息可以是:基站在判断当前时刻距离上一次接收到所述帧信息的时刻超过预设周期值时,向所述核心网设备发送同步请求消息,所述同步请求消息用于请求所述核心网设备发送基准帧信息。这里的当前时刻是指基站执行该判断步骤的时刻。其中,基站可以在每次接收到所述帧信息的时刻启动一个同步定时器,同步定时器的时长为所述预设周期值,同步定时器超时未接收到新的帧信息则基站判断当前时刻距离上一次接收到所述帧信息的时刻超过预设周期值。
其中,核心网设备确定基准帧信息的方法可以参考步骤201中的相关描述,这里不再赘述。
步骤502:基站接收所述基准帧信息,将基站中当前无线帧的帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述无线帧号,将所述基站中当前无线帧的子帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述子帧号。
步骤503:基站向核心网设备发送所述基准帧信息的接收确认消息,核心网设备在预设时间内接收各个基站发送的接收确认消息。
其中,所述接收确认消息可以是新定义的S1口消息,也可以通过在现有基站发送给核心网设备的控制消息或数据消息中增加携带该接收确认消息的IE实现。
其中,基站发送该接收确认消息,可以是基站和核心网设备之间预先协商设定,也可以由核心网设备通过携带所述帧信息的消息指示给基站。
其中,可以设定如果核心网设备在预设时间内没有接收到某一个或某几个基站发送的接收确认消息,重新触发执行步骤501直到预设的最大发送次数或者接收到基站发送的接收确认消息。
本步骤为可选步骤。
步骤504:UE在连接态向核心网设备发送所述UE的eDRX周期。
步骤505:核心网设备根据所述eDRX周期计算所述UE的PF和PO。
其中,核心网设备可以根据eDRX周期以及UE标识来计算UE的PF和PO。
其中,如果步骤504中eDRX周期是由UE发送至基站,再由基站转发给核 心网设备,则UE标识可以由基站再转发eDRX周期时携带UE标识;
如果步骤504中eDRX周期是UE发送并由基站透传给核心网设备,UE在发送eDRX周期时可以携带UE标识。
步骤506:当所述UE的下行数据到达且所述UE处于空闲态时,核心网设备在所述PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻之前向基站发送寻呼消息,寻呼消息中包括UE的eDRX周期以及UE标识。
其中,核心网设备向基站发送寻呼消息的时刻,在计算所述PF和PO的时刻以及所述寻呼时刻之间最好更接近所述寻呼时刻。
其中,步骤504~步骤506是由核心网设备计算UE的PF和PO,存储寻呼消息至PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻之前发送;在实际应用中核心网也可以不计算UE的PF和PO,此时,步骤504~步骤506还可以通过以下步骤替代:
步骤a:所述核心网设备接收UE在连接态发送的所述UE的eDRX周期。
核心网设备可以将UE的eDRX周期保存在核心网设备中。
步骤b:当所述UE的下行数据到达且所述UE处于空闲态时,所述核心网设备向基站发送寻呼消息,所述寻呼消息中包括所述UE的eDRX周期。
其中,核心网设备向基站发送寻呼消息可以包括:
核心网设备判断在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后是否发送过UE的寻呼消息;
如果核心网设备在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后未发送过UE的寻呼消息,所述核心网设备直接向基站发送所述寻呼消息;
如果核心网设备在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后发送过UE的寻呼消息,核心网设备根据最近一次发送寻呼消息的时间与UE的eDRX周期确定本次发送寻呼消息的时间,在本次发送寻呼消息的时间到来时,核心网设备向基站发送所述寻呼消息。
例如,在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后核心网设备向各个基站发送过UE的寻呼消息1,本次要发送的寻呼消息是寻呼消息2,寻呼消息1和寻呼消息2是不同的寻呼消息而不是同一寻呼消息的副本;
则本步骤中,核心网设备判断在UE从连接态转入空闲态之后发送过UE的寻呼消息1,核心网设备根据最近一次发送寻呼消息1的时间以及UE的eDRX周期按照公式最近一次发送寻呼消息1的时间+n*UE的eDRX周期计算出距离当前时间最近的一个时间进行寻呼消息2的发送。
例如,在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后核心网设备未向各个基站发送过UE的寻呼消息,本次要发送的寻呼消息是在UE从连接态转入空闲态之后向各个基站发送的UE的第一条寻呼消息;则本步骤中,核心网设备判断在UE从连接态转入空闲态之后未发送过UE的寻呼消息,核心网设备不再另外计算寻呼消息的发送时间,直接向基站发送寻呼消息。
或者,核心网设备向基站发送寻呼消息可以包括:
核心网设备判断在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后是否发送过UE的寻呼消息;
如果核心网设备在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后未发送过UE的寻呼消息,所述核心网设备直接向基站发送所述寻呼消息;
如果核心网设备在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后发送过UE的寻呼消息,核心网设备根据预先存储的发送参考时间和参考时间间隔、与UE的eDRX周期确定本次发送寻呼消息的时间,在本次发送寻呼消息的时间到来时,核心网设备向基站发送所述寻呼消息。具体计算公式可以为:本次寻呼消息发送时间=发送参考时间+参考时间间隔+m*eDRX。m为自然数,m的取值最好使得计算得到的本次寻呼消息发送时间超过当前时间且最接近当前时间。
其中,核心网设备中存储的发送参考时间和参考时间间隔是不断更新的,更新的原则和方法可以为:
核心网设备在每次发送寻呼消息时,如果接收到基站在执行步骤c时发送的第一时间间隔,则核心网设备使用该寻呼消息的发送时间更新所述发送参考时间,使用接收到的第一时间间隔更新所述参考时间间隔。
进一步地,如果参考时间间隔是所有基站公用的,如果核心网设备接收到多个基站发送的第一时间间隔,可以选择数值最小的第一时间间隔进行参考时间间隔的更新;如果每个基站均对应着一个参考时间间隔,则核心网设备可以使用对应基站发送的第一时间间隔来更新该基站对应的参考时间间隔。
步骤c:基站接收寻呼消息,根据所述eDRX周期计算所述UE的PF和PO,确定所述UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔大于预设时间阈值时,向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔;所述第一时间间隔小于等于所述UE的寻呼时刻距离所述当前时间的时间间隔;执行步骤d;
其中,如果基站确定所述寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔小于预设时间阈值时,执行步骤508;
其中,接收到寻呼消息的基站也可以不全部向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔,而是由部分基站发送第一时间间隔,具体基站发送或不发送第一时间间隔可以在实际应用中自主设定,只要所述UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔大于预设时间阈值时至少有一个基站发送了第一时间间隔即可。
在一种可能的实现方式中,寻呼消息中可以包括推荐小区列表或者推荐基站列表;如果寻呼消息中包括推荐小区列表,可以由推荐小区列表中所列出的小区的基站来向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔,如果寻呼消息中包括推荐基站列表,可以由推荐基站列表中所列出的基站来向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔。
步骤d:核心网设备接收基站发送的第一时间间隔。
步骤e:所述核心网设备根据接收到的所述第一时间间隔向所述基站发送寻呼消息。
所述核心网设备根据接收到的所述第一时间间隔向所述基站发送寻呼消息,可以包括:
对于每个基站,所述核心网设备根据该基站发送的第一时间间隔,在该基站的第一时间间隔之后向该基站发送寻呼消息;或者,
所述核心网设备从各个基站发送的第一时间间隔中选择最小的第一时间间隔,在所述最小的第一时间间隔之后向各个基站发送寻呼消息。
也即,如果只有一个基站发送了第一时间间隔,核心网设备可以在该基站的第一时间间隔之后向寻呼区中的基站发送寻呼消息;
如果有至少两个基站发送了第一时间间隔,核心网设备可以从中选择最小的第一时间间隔,在最小的第一时间间隔之后向寻呼区中的基站发送寻呼消息;核心网设备也可以按照每个基站的第一时间间隔向每个基站发送寻呼消息。
可选的,所述核心网设备根据接收到的所述第一时间间隔向所述基站发送寻呼消息后,包括:对于后续的发送到该终端的寻呼消息,核心网可以基于所述基站发送的第一时间间隔和终端的寻呼eDRX周期计算该终端后续的寻呼帧位置。
也就是说,在基站上报时间间隔之前,核心网保存终端的寻呼消息。对于后续的发送到该终端的寻呼消息,核心网可以基于上述基站反馈的时间间隔和终端的寻呼eDRX周期计算该终端后续的寻呼帧位置。具体的计算公式可以为:基站反馈时间间隔所在的寻呼帧位置+N*寻呼eDRX周期。
其中,当核心网设备与基站之间执行步骤a~步骤e时,如果步骤e中有至少两个基站发送了第一时间间隔,核心网设备从中选择最小的第一时间间隔,在 最小的第一时间间隔之后向寻呼区中的基站发送寻呼消息,由于核心网设备从中选择最小的第一时间间隔,则对于某一个基站而言,UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离该基站接收到核心网设备再次发送的寻呼消息的时间间隔仍然可能大于预设时间阈值,这时,基站可以再次向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔,直到寻呼时刻距离该基站接收到核心网设备发送的寻呼消息的时间间隔小于预设时间阈值,或者,基站向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔的连续次数达到某一预设的次数阈值;之后,基站执行步骤507。其中,可以由核心网设备通过寻呼消息向每个基站指示基站的次数阈值,也可以预先将基站的次数阈值设置于基站中。
步骤507:基站接收所述寻呼消息,根据其中携带的eDRX周期以及UE标识计算UE的PF和PO;
步骤508:UE在进入空闲态时,根据eDRX周期以及UE标识计算UE的PF和PO,在PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻之前的第一时刻醒来,确定UE是否进行小区重选,如果进行小区重选,完成小区重选后,在重选小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息;如果不进行小区重选,在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息,或进入睡眠状态直到寻呼时刻之前醒来在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼信道。
其中,所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间。
其中,如果步骤501的帧信息中仅包括无线帧号,则所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔优选大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间与一个无线帧的时长之和。
其中,步骤507和步骤508之间没有执行顺序限制,两个步骤只要分别在步骤509之前执行即可。
步骤509:在UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻,UE所在小区所属的基站向UE发送寻呼消息,UE接收所述寻呼消息。
其中,当UE接收到寻呼消息时,UE发起随机接入过程,建立与基站和核心网设备的连接,核心网设备在UE接入网络后发送下行数据给UE,这一处理过程这里不再赘述。
本实施例中,核心网设备维护同一个寻呼区域内的基站保持无线帧以及子帧的同步状态,来实现UE在不同寻呼小区中寻呼时刻的基本同步,在eDRX机制下,即使UE出现小区重选,只要在寻呼时刻到来前完成小区重选就不会错过新小区的寻呼时刻,因为只要是同一寻呼区域,重选前小区的寻呼时刻和重选后小 区的寻呼时刻在时间是相同的。
核心网设备将寻呼消息保存到寻呼时刻之前才下发给基站,可以减少基站对寻呼消息的存储时间;
UE在寻呼时刻到来之前的第一时刻醒来查看是否进行小区重选,保证寻呼时刻不在小区重选过程中出现,以防止UE错过寻呼时刻。
参见图6,为本发明实施例寻呼方法一种流程示意图;该方法包括:
步骤601:在每个同步时机到来时,核心网设备确定基准帧信息,所述基准帧信息包括:无线帧号和子帧号,向基站发送所述基准帧信息。
本步骤的实现可以参考步骤501,这里不赘述。
步骤602:基站接收所述基准帧信息,将基站中当前无线帧的帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述无线帧号,将所述基站中当前无线帧的子帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述子帧号。
步骤603:基站向核心网设备发送所述基准帧信息的接收确认消息,核心网设备在预设时间内接收各个基站发送的接收确认消息。
其中,所述接收确认消息可以是新定义的S1口消息,也可以通过在现有基站发送给核心网设备的控制消息或数据消息中增加携带该接收确认消息的IE实现。
其中,基站发送该接收确认消息,可以是基站和核心网设备之间预先协商设定,也可以由核心网设备通过携带所述帧信息的消息指示给基站。
其中,可以设定如果核心网设备在预设时间内没有接收到某一个或某几个基站发送的接收确认消息,重新触发执行步骤501直到预设的最大发送次数或者接收到基站发送的接收确认消息。
本步骤为可选步骤。
步骤604:所述核心网设备接收UE在连接态发送的所述UE的eDRX周期。
其中,核心网设备可以将UE的eDRX周期保存在核心网设备中。
步骤605:当所述UE的下行数据到达且所述UE处于空闲态时,核心网设备判断在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后是否发送过UE的寻呼消息,如果否,核心网设备直接向基站发送所述寻呼消息;如果是,核心网设备根据最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息的时间与UE的eDRX周期确定本次发送寻呼消息的时间,在本次发送寻呼消息的时间到来时,核心网设备向基站发送寻呼消息。
寻呼消息中包括:UE标识。
例如,在UE从连接态转入空闲态之后核心网设备向各个基站发送过UE的寻呼消息1,本次要发送的寻呼消息是寻呼消息2;
则本步骤中,核心网设备判断在UE从连接态转入空闲态之后发送过UE的寻呼消息1,核心网设备根据最近一次发送寻呼消息1的时间以及UE的eDRX周期按照公式最近一次发送寻呼消息1的时间+n*UE的eDRX周期计算出距离当前时间最近的一个时间进行寻呼消息2的发送。
例如,在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后核心网设备未向各个基站发送过UE的寻呼消息,本次要发送的寻呼消息是在UE从连接态转入空闲态之后核心网设备向各个基站发送的UE的第一条寻呼消息;则本步骤中,核心网设备判断在UE从连接态转入空闲态之后未发送过UE的寻呼消息,核心网设备不再另外计算寻呼消息的发送时间,可以即时向基站发送寻呼消息。
步骤606:基站接收寻呼消息,根据所述eDRX周期计算所述UE的PF和PO,基站判断所述UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔是否大于预设时间阈值;如果是,向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔,所述第一时间间隔小于等于所述UE的寻呼时刻距离所述当前时间的时间间隔,执行步骤607;如果否,执行步骤609。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一时间间隔可以用于向核心网设备指示发送第一时间间隔的基站所计算的UE的寻呼时刻。具体的,在不考虑基站和核心网设备之间信息传输时延和处理时延时,第一时间间隔可以等于UE的寻呼时刻距离所述当前时间的时间间隔,则核心网设备可以在当前时间上加上第一时间间隔得到UE的寻呼时刻;如果考虑基站和核心网设备之间信息传输的时延和处理时延,第一时间间隔需小于UE的寻呼时刻距离所述当前时间的时间间隔,具体可以为:UE的寻呼时刻距离所述当前时间的时间间隔-传输时延-处理时延,则核心网设备仍然可以在当前时间上加上第一时间间隔得到UE的寻呼时刻。
其中,可以为每个基站设置对于同一个寻呼消息,向核心网设备连续发送第一时间间隔的次数阈值,该次数阈值可以由核心网设备指示给每个基站,例如在发给基站的寻呼消息中携带次数阈值,或者,也可以在基站中预先设置该基站的次数阈值。当为基站设置了次数阈值时,如果基站判断所述UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔大于预设时间阈值,针对基站接收到的这一寻呼消息,基站还需判断基站向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔的连续次数是否达 到次数阈值,如果达到次数阈值,执行步骤609;如果未达到次数阈值,执行步骤607。
其中,接收到寻呼消息的基站也可以不全部向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔,而是由部分基站发送第一时间间隔,具体基站发送或不发送第一时间间隔可以在实际应用中自主设定,只要所述UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔大于预设时间阈值时至少有一个基站发送了第一时间间隔即可。
在一种可能的实现方式中,寻呼消息中可以包括推荐小区列表或者推荐基站列表;如果寻呼消息中包括推荐小区列表,可以由推荐小区列表中所列出的小区的基站来向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔,如果寻呼消息中包括推荐基站列表,可以由推荐基站列表中所列出的基站来向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔。
对于不向核心网设备发送第一时间间隔的基站,当步骤605中核心网设备发送了寻呼消息时、或者当步骤608中核心网设备再次发送了寻呼消息时,基站接收寻呼消息,根据所述eDRX周期计算所述UE的PF和PO,之后,执行步骤609~610。
步骤607:核心网设备接收基站发送的第一时间间隔。
步骤608:核心网设备根据接收到的所述第一时间间隔向所述基站发送寻呼消息;执行步骤606;
所述核心网设备根据接收到的所述第一时间间隔向所述基站发送寻呼消息,可以包括:
对于每个基站,所述核心网设备根据该基站发送的第一时间间隔,在该基站的第一时间间隔之后向该基站发送寻呼消息;或者,
所述核心网设备从各个基站发送的第一时间间隔中选择最小的第一时间间隔,在所述最小的第一时间间隔之后向各个基站发送寻呼消息。
也即,如果只有一个基站发送了第一时间间隔,核心网设备可以在该基站的第一时间间隔之后向寻呼区中的基站发送寻呼消息;或者,
如果有至少两个基站发送了第一时间间隔,核心网设备可以从中选择最小的第一时间间隔,在最小的第一时间间隔之后向寻呼区中的基站发送寻呼消息;核心网设备也可以按照每个基站的第一时间间隔向每个基站发送寻呼消息。
可选的,所述核心网设备根据接收到的所述第一时间间隔向所述基站发送寻呼消息后,包括:对于后续的发送到该UE的寻呼消息,核心网设备可以基于所述基站发送的第一时间间隔和UE的eDRX周期计算该UE后续的寻呼帧位置。
也就是说,在基站上报时间间隔之前,核心网保存UE的寻呼消息。对于后续的发送到该UE的寻呼消息,核心网可以基于上述基站反馈的第一时间间隔和UE的eDRX周期计算该UE后续的寻呼帧位置。具体的计算公式可以为:基站反馈第一时间间隔所在的寻呼帧位置+N*寻呼eDRX周期,N为自然数。
步骤609:UE在进入空闲态时,根据eDRX周期以及UE标识计算UE的PF和PO,在PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻之前的第一时刻醒来,确定UE是否进行小区重选,如果进行小区重选,完成小区重选后,在重选小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息;如果不进行小区重选,在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息,或进入睡眠状态直到寻呼时刻之前醒来在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼信道。
其中,所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间。
其中,如果步骤601的帧信息中仅包括无线帧号,则所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔优选大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间与一个无线帧的时长之和。
步骤610:在UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻,UE所在小区所属的基站向UE发送寻呼消息,UE接收所述寻呼消息。
其中,当UE接收到寻呼消息时,UE发起随机接入过程,建立与基站和核心网设备的连接,核心网设备在UE接入网络后发送下行数据给UE,这一处理过程这里不再赘述。
本实施例中,核心网设备维护同一个寻呼区域内的基站保持无线帧以及子帧的同步状态,来实现UE在不同寻呼小区中寻呼时刻的基本同步,在eDRX机制下,即使UE出现小区重选,只要在寻呼时刻到来前完成小区重选就不会错过新小区的寻呼时刻,因为只要是同一寻呼区域,重选前小区的寻呼时刻和重选后小区的寻呼时刻在时间是相同的。
核心网设备将寻呼消息保存到寻呼时刻之前才下发给基站,可以减少基站对寻呼消息的存储时间;
UE在寻呼时刻到来之前的第一时刻醒来查看是否进行小区重选,保证寻呼时刻不在小区重选过程中出现,以防止UE错过寻呼时刻。
参见图7,为本发明实施例寻呼方法一种流程示意图;该方法包括:
步骤701:在每个同步时机到来时,核心网设备确定基准帧信息,所述基准 帧信息包括:无线帧号和子帧号,向基站发送所述基准帧信息。
本步骤的实现可以参考步骤501,这里不赘述。
步骤702:基站接收所述基准帧信息,将基站中当前无线帧的帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述无线帧号,将所述基站中当前无线帧的子帧号更新为所述基准帧信息中携带的所述子帧号。
步骤703:基站向核心网设备发送所述基准帧信息的接收确认消息,核心网设备在预设时间内接收各个基站发送的接收确认消息。
其中,所述接收确认消息可以是新定义的S1口消息,也可以通过在现有基站发送给核心网设备的控制消息或数据消息中增加携带该接收确认消息的IE实现。
其中,基站发送该接收确认消息,可以是基站和核心网设备之间预先协商设定,也可以由核心网设备通过携带所述帧信息的消息指示给基站。
其中,可以设定如果核心网设备在预设时间内没有接收到某一个或某几个基站发送的接收确认消息,重新触发执行步骤501直到预设的最大发送次数或者接收到基站发送的接收确认消息。
本步骤为可选步骤。
步骤704:所述核心网设备接收UE在连接态发送的所述UE的eDRX周期。
其中,核心网设备可以将UE的eDRX周期保存在核心网设备中。
步骤705:当所述UE的下行数据到达且所述UE处于空闲态时,核心网设备判断在所述UE从连接态转入空闲态之后是否发送过UE的寻呼消息,如果否,核心网设备直接向基站发送所述寻呼消息,执行步骤707;如果是,执行步骤706;
步骤706:核心网设备根据最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息的时间、eDRX周期以及所述最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息对应的第二时间间隔确定本次发送寻呼消息的时间,在本次发送寻呼消息的时间到来时,核心网设备向基站发送寻呼消息,执行步骤707;
最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息对应的第二时间间隔是指:在核心网设备最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息时,各个基站对应反馈的寻呼响应消息中携带的第二时间间隔。
其中,核心网设备根据最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息的时间、eDRX周期以及所述最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息对应的第二时间间隔确定本次发送寻呼消息的时间,可以包括:
核心网设备从所述第二时间间隔中选择数值最小的第二时间间隔;
核心网设备根据以下公式确定本次发送寻呼消息的时间:
本次发送寻呼消息的时间=最近一次发送UE的寻呼消息的时间+M*eDRX周期+数值最小的第二时间间隔;M为自然数,M的取值最好使得计算得到的本次发送寻呼消息的时间位于当前时间之后且距离当前时间最近。
其中,如果基站反馈的第二时间间隔未考虑基站和核心网设备之间的传输时延和处理时延,上述公式中计算得到的本次发送寻呼消息的时间可以通过减去传输时延和处理时延进行修正;如果基站反馈的第二时间间隔考虑了基站和核心网设备之间的传输时延和处理时延,则上述公式中计算得到的本次发送寻呼消息的时间可以无需进行修正。
步骤707:基站接收寻呼消息,根据所述eDRX周期计算所述UE的PF和PO,向核心网设备发送寻呼响应消息,寻呼响应消息中包括:第二时间间隔;第二时间间隔用于向核心网设备指示所述UE的PF和PO所指示的寻呼时刻;
其中,如果不考虑基站和核心网设备之间的传输时延和处理时延问题,第二时间间隔可以等于UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔;如果考虑基站和核心网设备之间的传输时延和处理时延问题,第二时间间隔可以小于UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔,具体可以为:UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻距离当前时间的时间间隔-传输时延-处理时延。
步骤708:UE在进入空闲态时,根据eDRX周期以及UE标识计算UE的PF和PO,在PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻之前的第一时刻醒来,确定UE是否进行小区重选,如果进行小区重选,完成小区重选后,在重选小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息;如果不进行小区重选,在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼消息,或进入睡眠状态直到寻呼时刻之前醒来在当前小区的寻呼信道上监听寻呼信道。
其中,所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间。
其中,如果步骤701的帧信息中仅包括无线帧号,则所述第一时刻与所述寻呼时刻之间的时间间隔优选大于等于所述UE完成一次小区重选的时间与一个无线帧的时长之和。
步骤709:在UE的PF和PO指示的寻呼时刻,UE所在小区所属的基站向UE发送寻呼消息,UE接收所述寻呼消息。
其中,当UE接收到寻呼消息时,UE发起随机接入过程,建立与基站和核 心网设备的连接,核心网设备在UE接入网络后发送下行数据给UE,这一处理过程这里不再赘述。
本实施例中,核心网设备维护同一个寻呼区域内的基站保持无线帧以及子帧的同步状态,来实现UE在不同寻呼小区中寻呼时刻的基本同步,在eDRX机制下,即使UE出现小区重选,只要在寻呼时刻到来前完成小区重选就不会错过新小区的寻呼时刻,因为只要是同一寻呼区域,重选前小区的寻呼时刻和重选后小区的寻呼时刻在时间是相同的。
核心网设备将寻呼消息保存到寻呼时刻之前才下发给基站,可以减少基站对寻呼消息的存储时间;
