在以上各方面中,第一测量控制信息包括异系统邻区的小区标识;所述第二测量控制信息包括邻频点的信息。
在以上各个方面中,第一测量的上报为事件触发上报,终端在测量到的邻区的信号强度满足第一预设要求时,上报第一测量的测量报告;其中第一预设要求可以通过信号强度阈值来体现,例如终端测量到的邻区的信号强度达到或超过信号强度阈值时,上报第一测量的测量报告。如此,终端可以在邻区中有可以提供服务的小区时,才上报测量报告,如此,可以节约空口资源。且RAN设备也可以直接利用该测量报告进行业务回落,减少RAN设备处理的复杂度。
在以上各个方面中,第一测量的测量报告可以包括信号强度满足第一预设要求的邻区的标识,除此之外,还可以包括该邻区的信号强度。如此,在通过切换进行回落的过程中,RAN设备可以将终端切换到测量报告中的标识所标识的邻区中。
在以上各个方面中,第二测量为周期测量。如此,可以减少测量的测试,节约能源。且较佳的,优先以第一测量的上报情况作为业务回落的判断依据,当第一测量的测量报告未接收到时,再以第二测量的上报情况作为业务回落的判断依据。

为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图,描述本申请的实施例,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部实施例。基于本申请的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的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。
请参考图1,其为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的示意图。如图1所示,该通信系统包括2G/3G网络中的RAN设备110和核心网(Core Network,CN)设备120,以及4G网络中的RAN设备130和CN设备140。其中,2G/3G网络中的RAN设备110例如为GERAN/UTRAN设备,例如BSS/RNS;2G/3G网络中的CN设备120例如为移动交换中心(Mobile  Switching Center,MSC)。4G网络的RAN设备130例如为演进型UTRAN(Evolved UTRAN)设备,例如eNB;4G网络的CN设备140例如为MME。MSC120和MME140之间通过SGs接口连接,以实现2G/3G网络和4G网络之间的信息交互。
在该系统中,当终端150发起语音业务或者有被叫语音业务时,利用电路交换回落(Circuit Switched Fallback,CSFB)技术将终端150回落到CS无线网络中进行语音业务,即由4G网络回落到2G/3G网络中,然后在2G/3G网络进行语音业务。如图1所示,该CSFB过程,主要包括如下步骤:
S110:处于4G网络下的终端150有CS业务需求时,通知MME140。
例如,终端150可以通过向MME发送扩展业务请求(extended service request)消息通知MME 140其有CS业务需求。
S120:MME140接收到终端150的通知之后,指示eNB130进行回落。
例如,MME140可以通过向eNB130发送CS回落指示(CS fallback indicator)信令来指示eNB130将终端回落到2G/3G网络中。
S130:eNB130触发终端150回落。
具体eNB130可以通过切换或重定向将终端150回落到2G/3G网络中。
S140:终端150回落到2G/3G网络后,在2G/3G网络进行语音业务。
在以上回落过程中,为了保证用户体验,优先让业务回落到3G网络中。在无3G网络覆盖或者3G网络无法提供服务时,才将业务回落到2G网络中。目前,为了让业务优先回落到3G网络中,利用异系统邻区的信号测量来确定3G网络是否可以提供服务,且在3G网络可以服务的情况下,让业务回落到3G网络中,在3G网络不可以提供服务的情况下,才让业务回落到2G网络中。请参考图2,其为一种当前业务回落方法的示意图。在该方法中,通过异系统邻区的信号测量在发现信号质量良好的异系统邻区时,优先让终端回落到通过测量得到的异系统邻区中。如图2所示,在LTE网 络中,eNB向终端下发测量控制信息(S210),指示终端对UMTS邻区的信号进行测量。终端对该测量控制信息指定的UMTS邻区进行测量(S220),当终端测量到某UMTS邻区的信号质量满足要求,例如达到或超过预设阈值时,终端向eNB上报测量报告(S230)。eNB便可以根据该测量报告获知UMTS邻区的信号质量良好,从而可以控制终端回落到UMTS(S240)。当终端未测量到信号质量满足要求的UMTS邻区时,终端不向eNB上报测量报告。若eNB在预设时间内(该时间可以通过保护定时器控制)未收到终端上报的测量报告,则认为UMTS无法提供良好的服务,因此控制终端回落到GSM(S250)。
目前,在下发异系统邻区的信号测量控制时,单频点最多携带32个待测量的异系统邻区。例如,在LTE网络中,eNB下发UMTS邻区的信号测量控制时,单频点最多携带32个UMTS邻区,即以上步骤S210中下发的测量控制信息,单频点最多携带32个待测量的UMTS邻区。然而,LTE低频段正在逐步大量上市,低频段相对于高频段拥有更为广泛的覆盖,因此容易出现LTE单频点超过32个UMTS邻区的现象。此场景下会出现部分区域有UMTS覆盖,但却由于LTE测量控制规格限制,未在测量控制中下发,从而导致终端无法回落到UMTS,而回落到GSM的问题,影响用户感受。
请参考图3,其为本申请实施例提供的一种LTE覆盖区域的邻区规格示意图。如图3所示,LTE覆盖区域310具有超过32个UMTS邻区,以UMTS 1……UMTS 33……标识,以及n个GMS邻区,以GSM 1……GSM n标识,其中n为小于或等于32的正整数。终端300在LTE覆盖区域310发起语音呼叫(该终端也可以作为被叫,在此以主叫为例),此时,终端300处于第“33”个UMTS邻区覆盖区域内。eNB为了优先将终端300回落到UMTS网络中,向终端下发UMTS邻区的信号测量控制,根据协议规定,其只能下发32个UMTS邻区的信号测量控制。因此,虽然配置了第“33” 个UMTS邻区却无法下发,故终端300无法对其进行测量,如此在CSFB保护定时器超时后,终端300被回落到GSM网络中。可见,终端在有UMTS覆盖的情况下,仍然回落到了GSM网络中,无法获得更好的用户体验。
本申请考虑到以上问题,在符合协议的前提下,提出一种业务回落方案,在有UMTS覆盖的区域,即使在单频点邻区的数量超规格的场景下,也能保证终端优先回落到UMTS网络,从而提升用户体验。在该方案中,网络侧在终端有业务回落需求时,除了向终端下发异系统邻区的信号测量控制以外,还向终端下发邻频点的小区测量控制,且这两种测量的测量报告均可以作为确定回落到哪个CS无线网络的依据,这样即使在网络侧没有收到异系统邻区的信号测量的测量报告时,只要UMTS有信号质量良好的小区,便可以通过邻频点的小区测量来触发终端的业务回落到UMTS网络。且只有当两个测量都显示UMTS不适于作为业务回落的目标网络时,才将终端的业务回落到GSM网络中。
可见,利用以上方案可以在单频点邻区的数量超规格的场景下,也能保证终端优先回落到UMTS网络,从而提升用户体验。该方案不仅适用于LTE与UMTS/GSM之间的业务回落过程,也同样适用于其它PS无线网络与CS无线网络之间的业务回落过程。
下面结合附图进行描述。
请参考图4,其为本申请实施例提供的一种业务回落方法的流程图。该方法用于将PS无线网络中的终端的业务从该PS无线网络回落到CS无线网络中,其中CS无线网络包括第一CS无线网络和第二CS无线网络,且第一CS无线网络为优选CS无线网络,例如UMTS网络,第二CS无线网络为候选CS无线网络,例如GSM网络。如图4所示,该方法包括如下步骤:
S410:PS无线网络中的RAN设备在终端有业务回落需求时,向终端发送第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息,分别用于指示终端对第一CS 无线网络进行第一测量和第二测量,其中,第一测量为异系统邻区的信号测量,第二测量为邻频点的小区测量。
其中,异系统邻区的信号测量是指对第一测量控制信息中指定的小区的信号进行测量的过程。邻频点的小区测量是指对第一测量控制信息中指定的频点的小区进行测量的过程。
S420:RAN设备根据终端对第一测量和/或第二测量的上报情况,确定目标CS无线网络,该目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络或第二CS无线网络。
S430:RAN设备将终端的业务回落到目标CS无线网络中。
请参考图1,在以上步骤S410中,RAN设备可以在接收到核心网设备发送的回落指示时,确定终端有业务回落需求;也可以在接收终端发送用于通知网络侧该终端有电路交换业务需求的请求消息时,确定终端有业务回落需求。当然,本申请不以此为限,任何终端有CS业务需求,需要回落的场景,都可以利用该场景下的新增信元或已有信元作为触发RAN设备发送第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息的方式。
另外,在以上步骤S410中,第一测量控制信息包括异系统邻区的小区标识,例如物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier,PCI),以便终端对这些小区标识所标识的小区进行测量。且根据协议要求,该第一测量控制信息最多携带32个异系统邻区的小区标识。此外,可以对终端第一测量的测量报告的上报形式进行配置,较佳的,配置为事件触发上报,即当终端测量到邻区的信号强度满足预设要求时,例如达到或超过预设阈值时,上报测量报告,且在测量报告中可以将信号强度满足预设要求的邻区报告给RAN设备,也可以将邻区和该邻区的信号强度同时报告给RAN设备。例如,该第一测量控制信息可以为B1事件测量控制信息,则终端执行的第一测量为B1事件测量。当然,该第一测量控制信息还可以是B2事件测量控制信息,则终端执行的第一测量为B2事件测量。对终端测量报告的上报形式的配置 可以由RAN设备通过第一测量控制信息实现,也可以预先配置在终端,在此不作限制。当然,也可以将终端测量报告的上报形式配置为其它上报方式,例如,周期上报,该上报形式相对于以上事件触发的上报形式,需要周期上报邻区的信号强度,需要更多的空口资源,也就是说配置为事件触发上报的形式可以仅上报信号强度满足预设要求的邻区,节约空口资源,且基站也可以直接使用测量报告的结果,减少RAN设备对结果运用的复杂度。
第二测量控制信息可以包括邻频点的信息,以便终端对该邻频点的小区进行测量。该第二测量较佳的为周期测量。另外,也可以对终端第二测量的测量报告的上报形式进行配置,此时,即可以配置为周期上报,也可以配置为事件触发上报。在周期上报中,终端周期测量邻频点的小区的信号强度并上报给RAN设备。如此,可以在终端执行了第一测量,且第一测量的上报形式为事件触发上报的情况下,优先采用第一测量的测量报告进行业务回落,使得业务回落预先采用异系统邻区的信号测量为依据,而邻频点的小区测量作为补充,保证业务回落的准确性,同时最大化保证业务优先回落到UMTS网络中。此外,周期上报的形式中,可以仅上报信号强度满足预设要求的小区,也可以对测量到的小区均进行上报;在仅上报信号强度满足预设要求的小区的情况下,该测量报告可以仅包括小区标识,也可以即包括小区标识又包括小区的信号强度,且RAN设备可以直接利用测量报告进行业务回落;在上报测量到的所有小区的情况下,该测量报告即包括小区标识又包括小区的信号强度,RAN设备可以根据信号强度决定是否进行业务回落;此外,也可以仅上报信号强度最强的小区以及小区的信号强度,RAN设备根据最强小区的信号强度决定是否进行业务回落,对于最强大小的个数可以预先设定,例如可以为1个,也可以为1个以上,例如3个,在预先设定上报n个(n为大于或等于1的正整数)的情况下,就是上报信号强度最强的前n个小区。需要说明的是,第一测量中对信号 强度的预设要求与第二测量中对信号强度的预设要求可以相同,也可以不同,具体根据实际需求进行设置。
在以上步骤S420中,RAN设备在接收到第一测量和第二测量中任一测量的测量报告时,可以根据该测量报告确定目标CS无线网络是否可以为第一CS无线网络,其中,只要任一测量报告中有满足预设要求的小区,即可以确定目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络,且只有当这两个测量报告都没有满足预设要求的小区时,才确定目标CS无线网络为第二CS无线网络;且当未接收到任何测量报告时,可以确定目标CS无线网络为第二CS无线网络。具体,该步骤S420可以包括以下任一种情况:
当RAN设备在预设时间内接收到第一测量的测量报告,且该测量报告包括信号强度满足第一预设要求的邻区时,确定目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络;或者,
当RAN设备在预设时间内接收到第二测量的测量报告,且该测量报告包括信号强度满足第二预设要求的小区时,确定目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络;或者,
当RAN设备在预设时间内未接收第一测量的测量报告和第二测量的测量报告时,确定目标CS无线网络为第二CS无线网络;或者,
当RAN设备在预设时间内接收到第一测量的测量报告和第二测量的测量报告之一或全部,且第一测量的测量报告中不包括满足第一预设要求的邻区,第二测量的测量报告中不包括满足第二预设要求的小区时,确定目标CS无线网络为第二CS无线网络。
以上对于第一测量中的邻区的信号强度是否满足第一预设要求,以及第二测量中的小区的信号强度是否满足第二预设要求可以在终端侧进行判断,而后仅上报满足要求的邻区或者小区,也可以由终端上报测量到的信号强度,由RAN设备进行判断。
在一较佳的实现方式中,以上第一测量的上报为事件触发上报,即当 终端测量到的邻区的信号强度满足预设要求时,上报测量到的邻区标识,也可以同时上报邻区的信号强度。第二测量为周期测量,且上报的测量报告可以包括:信号强度满足预设要求的小区的标识,或者,信号强度满足预设要求的小区的标识和该小区的信号强度;信号强度满足预设要求的最强小区的标识,或者,信号强度满足预设要求的最强小区的标识和该小区的信号强度。此时,以上步骤S420优先以第一测量作为业务回落的判断依据,当第一测量的测量报告未接收到时,再以第二测量作为业务回落的判断依据。此时,以上业务回落方法包括如图5所示的步骤:
S510:RAN设备在终端有业务回落需求时,向终端发送第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息,该步骤同以上步骤S410,在此不再赘述。
S520:RAN设备确定在预设时间内是否接收到第一测量的测量报告,当接收到时,执行步骤S530,否则执行步骤S540。
S530:RAN设备确定目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络。
S540:RAN设备确定是否接收到第二测量报告;当接收到时,执行步骤S530,否则执行步骤S550。
S550:RAN设备确定目标CS无线网络为第二CS无线网络。
S560:RAN设备将终端的业务回落到目标CS无线网络中。
在另一较佳的实现方式中,以上第一测量的上报为事件触发上报,即当终端测量到的邻区的信号强度满足预设要求时,上报测量到的邻区标识,也可以同时上报邻区的信号强度。第二测量为周期测量,且上报的测量报告可以包括:信号强度最强的小区的标识和该小区的信号强度;测量到的该邻频点的所有小区的标识及信号强度。此时,以上步骤S420优先以第一测量作为业务回落的判断依据,当第一测量的测量报告未接收到时,再以第二测量作为业务回落的判断依据。此时,以上业务回落方法其与图5所示的区别在于,需要对第二测量报告中的小区的信号强度是否满足预设要求进行判断,当满足预设要求时才将业务回落到第一CS无线网络中。具体 请参考图6,包括如下步骤,
S610:RAN设备在终端有业务回落需求时,向终端发送第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息,该步骤同以上步骤S410,在此不再赘述。
S620:RAN设备确定在预设时间内是否接收到第一测量的测量报告,当接收到时,执行步骤S630,否则执行步骤S640。
S630:RAN设备确定目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络。
S640:RAN设备确定是否接收到第二测量报告;当接收到时,执行步骤S650,否则执行步骤S660。
S650:RAN设备确定第二测量报告中的小区的信号强度是否满足预设要求,当满足预设要求时执行步骤S630,否则执行步骤S660
S660:RAN设备确定目标CS无线网络为第二CS无线网络。
S670:RAN设备将终端的业务回落到目标CS无线网络中。
在以上步骤S430中,RAN设备可以通过切换或重定向将终端的业务回落到目标CS无线网络中。且在切换过程中,确定目标小区,该目标小区可以为第一测量的测量报告中的异系统邻区,也可以为第二测量的测量报告中的邻频点的小区。在重定向过程中,通过将终端释放,让终端重新选择邻频点小区或异系统邻区接入。
另外,当RAN设备接收到第二测量的测量报告时,可以在测量报告中的小区为被添加为终端的服务小区的邻区的情况下,将该小区添加为该服务小区的邻区,如此,可以在业务回落的过程中,同时完成自动邻区添加,提高邻区规划的运维效率。
请参考图7,其为本申请实施例提供的一种业务回落方法的流程图。该方法用于终端的业务从PS无线网络回落到CS无线网络的过程中,所述CS无线网络包括第一CS无线网络和第二CS无线网络。如图7所示,该方法包括:
S710:终端接收PS无线网络中的RAN设备发送的第一测量控制信息 和第二测量控制信息,其中第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息分别用于指示终端对第一CS无线网络进行第一测量和第二测量,其中,第一测量为异系统邻区的信号测量,第二测量为邻频点的小区测量;
S720:终端分别根据第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息,进行第一测量和第二测量;
S730:终端根据第一测量的测量结果和第二测量的测量结果,确定是否上报第一测量的测量报告,以及是否上报第二测量的测量报告,其中第一测量和第二测量之一或全部的上报情况用于确定终端的业务回落的目标CS无线网络,该目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络或第二CS无线网络;
S740:终端在目标CS无线网络进行CS业务。
关于第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息的描述,以及第一测量和第二测量的测量和上报形式、上报内容,同以上实施例,在此不再赘述。此外,何种情况下目标CS无线网络为第一CS无线网络,何种情况下为第二CS无线网络,同以上实施例的描述,在此也不再赘述。
下面以LTE中的业务回落到UMTS/GSM为例,详细描述以上过程,其仅为举例,并非用以现在本申请。具体请参考图8,其为本申请实施例提供的一种业务回落方法的示意图。如图8所示,包括如下步骤:
S810:终端向MME发送扩展业务请求消息,以通知MME其有CS业务需求。
具体,处于LTE网络下的终端有语音业务需求时,例如该终端发起语音呼叫,或者作为被叫时,该终端可以向MME发送扩展业务请求消息。且该消息经由eNB到达MME。
S820:MME接收到终端的扩展业务请求消息之后,知道终端有CS业务需求,因此指示eNB对终端的进行回落,具体可以通过CS回落指示指示eNB将终端回落到UMTS/GSM网络中。
S830:eNB接收到MME的指示之后,可以执行以上实施例中的发送 测量控制信息的步骤;即eNB向终端发送第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息。
该步骤S830可以在接收到MME的指示之后进行,也可以在以上步骤S810之后,即eNB接收到终端发送的扩展业务请求消息之后执行,本申请不做限制,在此以接收到MME指示之后进行为例。
其中,关于第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息的描述同以上实施例。且在此第一测量控制信息包括UMTS邻区的小区标识,第一测量为UMTS邻区的信号测量;第二测量控制信息包括UMTS邻频点的信息,第二测量为UMTS邻频点的小区测量。
S840:终端根据第一测量控制信息和第二测量控制信息分别执行第一测量和第二测量.
在此,以第一测量为事件触发上报为例,当终端测量到第一测量控制信息指定的UMTS的邻区的信号强度满足预设要求,即大于或等于预设阈值时,终端上报第一测量的测量报告(S850);否则,不上报测量报告。
以第二测量为周期测量为例,当终端周期测量到邻频点的小区时,可以周期上报该邻频点的小区的标识及信号强度的测量报告,也可以只上报信号强度满足预设要求的邻频点的小区的标识的测量报告(S860)。当测量不到邻频点的小区时,则不进行上报。在此,以仅上报信号强度满足预设要求的邻频点的小区的标识为例。另一种情况可以参见图6所示的实施例。
S870:eNB接收到第一测量和第二测量的任一测量的测量报告时,将终端的业务回落到UMTS网络中。
也就是说,以上步骤S850和S860可能都执行了,也可能只执行了一个,即终端可能两个测量的测量报告都上报了,也可能只上报了一个。eNB无论接收到哪个测量报告,都可以将终端的业务回落到UMTS网络中。此外,当两个测量报告都接收到时,较佳的,可以以第一测量的测量报告为依据进行业务回落。当然,也可以以第二测量的测量报告为依据,或者可 以比较两个测量报告中信号强度的大小,以信号强度大的测量报告为依据。
S880:终端在预设时间,即保护定时器到期前,既测量不到信号强度满足预设要求的UMTS邻区,也测量不到信号强度满足预设要求的UMTS邻频点的小区。则终端不上报任何测量报告,eNB未接收到第一测量和第二测量的测量报告,将终端的业务回落到GSM网络中。
可见,在以上实施例中,网络侧在终端有业务回落需求时,除了向终端下发对优选CS无线网络的异系统邻区的信号测量控制外,还向终端下发邻频点的小区测量控制。且这两种测量的上报情况均可以作为网络侧确定终端业务回落的目标CS无线网络的依据。如此,即使优选CS无线网络在单频点邻区的数量超规格的场景下,只要邻频点有小区能为终端提供CS服务,终端便可以将通过邻频点的小区测量得知,并通知网络侧,以便网络侧将终端的业务回落到优选CS无线网络,以提高用户体验。
此外,网络侧还可以在业务回落的过程中,利用终端上报的第二测量的测量报告,为终端自动识别和添加邻区。
