Description

频点选择方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种频点选择方法及装置。
背景技术
机器间(Machine to Machine,以下简称M2M)通信是第五代移动通信技术(5G)目前研究的一个重要课题,也是未来无线通信的一个重要应用领域。在M2M课题里,针对低成本低吞吐量类型终端的特性,提出了窄带物联网(NarowBand-Internet of Things,以下简称NB-IoT)的研究子课题:也就是在200khz的频带内为NB-IoT低成本终端提供低吞吐量的无线通讯服务。
为了节省空口信令,并达到UE快速接入的目的,NB-IoT引入了上下文挂起和恢复机制:即当用户设备(User Equipment,简称为UE)和移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,简称为MME)完成上下行数据传输后,可采用无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称为RRC)连接挂起机制在演进的基站(eNB,也称eNodeB)侧和MME侧将该UE的承载上下文、AS上下文挂起;后续UE和MME之间需要进行数据传输,则通过RRC连接恢复流程快速恢复UE的Uu及S1口连接。
考虑到200khz频谱带宽的单频点小区容量很小,大量NB-IoT终端接入难免会容量受限,而扩容的简单策略就是多个频点覆盖同一区域。但是如果每个频点独立为一个小区,则存在两个问题:1)同一覆盖区域会存在同覆盖的多个小区,小区太多会给UE带来没必要的无线质量测量开销;2)如果每个频点独立为一个小区,则每个频点都需要配置广播信道、同步信道,对频点资源也是浪费的。因此,有必要引入多频点小区策略:将同一eNodeB内覆盖同一区域的多个单频点小区汇聚为一个多频点小区。具体表现为:多个频点共享一个物理小区标识,共享广播信道和同步信道,业务信道可以小区内的某个频点上传输。其中,承载广播信道和同步信道的频点称之为锚定频点(Anchor频点);不承载广播信道和同步信道的频点称之为非锚定载波(Non-Anchor频点)。
目前提出的业务频点选择策略为基于UE的国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number,简称为IMSI)平均分布到不同频点,或者UE采用跳频策略在多个频点上动态调度。但是按IMSI平均分布在多个频点可能存在负荷不均衡问题,UE在多个载波上动态调度存在UE频率切换问题,对以小数据传输为主的NB-IoT系统来说效率也是不高的。
针对相关技术中的业务频点选择策略是被动选择,缺少主动性的问题,目前尚未给出解决方案。

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。
需要说明的是,本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。
在本实施例中提供了一种频点选择方法,图1是根据本发明实施例的频点选择方法的流程图,如图1所示,该流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S102,UE判断是否接收到基站发送的业务频点的信息,其中所述业务频点为在承载所述UE的目标小区为多频点小区的情况下,所述基站选择的承载业务的频点;
步骤S104,如果是,则所述UE驻留在所述业务频点的信息对应的频点上;否则,所述UE驻留在原驻留频点上。
通过上述步骤,基站在承载UE的目标小区为多频点小区的情况下选择承载业务的频点,并将业务频点的信息发送给UE,UE通过接收该业务频点的信息,从而选择对应的业务频点进行数据的发送与接收,而如果UE没接收到业务频点的信息,则驻留在原驻留频点,从而使得UE驻留的频点可以是由基站主动选择的承载业务的频点,解决了相关技术中的业务频点选择策略是被动选择,缺少主动性的问题,从技术上给出了实现对承载业务的频点的负荷均衡的基础,进一步对以小数据传输为主的NB-IoT系统来说,提升了系统效率。
可选地,本文中的基站可以是演进的基站eNodeB。
作为一种优选实施方式,基站可以通过RRC连接请求、或RRC连接恢复请求、或RRC连接重建立消息、或RRC连接重配置消息发送上述业务频点的信息,在这种情况下,在上述步骤S102中,所述可以接收RRC连接建立消息、或RRC连接恢复消息(即RRC连接恢复完成消息)、或RRC连接重建立消息、或RRC连接重配置消息,然后判断接收到的所述RRC连接建立消息、或RRC连接恢复消息、或RRC连接重建立消息、或RRC连接重配置消息中是否携带所述业务频点的信息。
作为一种优选实施方式,在所述UE判断接收到所述基站发送的所述业务频点的信息的情况下,在所述业务频点上进行所述UE的后续流程;否则,在当前驻留频点上进行所述UE的后续流程。可选地,所述UE的后续流程可以包括所述UE在当前连接模式下的所有过程,例如,当前连接模式下数据收发、当前连接模式下信令收发及当前连接模式下的随机接入过程。
可选地,所述业务频点的随机接入参数采用小区广播的随机接入参数。
优选地,在所述UE当前状态为空闲IDLE态时,可以使所述UE驻留在承载广播信道的频点上。具体实现方式可以如下:
1.在小区初始选择时:UE只能监测到有广播信道的频点,所以只能选择驻留于承载广播信道的频点上;
2.在小区重选时:通过广播信息配置策略来实现。在广播信息的配置时,邻区频点以承载广播信道的频点为准。这样,UE重选时自然会重选到承载广播信道的频点上。
3.在UE由RRC连接状态向IDLE模式转换时:指定该UE驻留于承载广播信道的频点上。具体实现为:
在步骤S102的判断结果为接收到基站发送RRC释放消息、或RRC连接挂起消息、和/或RRC连接建立消息、和/或RRC连接恢复消息,其中所述RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中携带有所述业务频点的信息(也称重定向信元)的情况下,所述业务频点的信息仅填写承载广播信道的频点对应的信息,这样,UE就会驻留于承载广播信道的频点上;如果RRC释放消息、和/或RRC连接挂起消息中未携带有所述业务频点的信息(也称重定向信元)、但RRC连接建立消息、或RRC连接恢复消息中携带有所述业务频点的信息(重定向信元),所述UE驻留在RRC连接建立消息、或RRC连接恢复消息中携带的所述业务频点的信息对应的频点上;如果RRC释放消息、和/或RRC连接挂起消息、和/或RRC连接建立消息、和/或RRC连接恢复消息中都未携带有所述业务频点的信息(也称重定向信元),则UE释放后自动驻留于当前小区承载广播信道和同步信道的频点上。
具体地,当承载于多频点小区的UE从连接模式转换为空闲模式时,UE驻留频点的选择策略为:在判断结果为接收到基站发送RRC释放消息、或RRC连接挂起消息,其中所述RRC释放消息、或RRC连接挂起消息中携带有所述业务频点的信息的情况下,所述UE驻留在所述RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中携带的所述业务频点的信息对应的频点上;或者,在判断结果为接收到基站发送RRC释放消息、或RRC连接挂起消息、和/或RRC连接建立消息、和/或RRC连接恢复消息,其中所述RRC释放消息、和/或RRC连接挂起消息中未携带有所述业务频点的信息,但RRC连接建立消息、或RRC连接恢复消息中携带有所述业务频点的信息的情况下,所述UE驻留在RRC连接建立消息、或RRC连接恢复消息中携带的所述业务频点的信息对应的频点上;或者,在判断结果为接收到基站发送RRC释放消息、或RRC连接挂起消息、和/或RRC连接建立消息、和/或RRC连接恢复消息,其中所述RRC释放消息、RRC连接挂起消息、和/或RRC连接建立消息、和/或RRC连接恢复消息中都未携带有所述业务频点的信息的情况下,所述UE驻留至上次空闲模式下所述UE驻留的频点上。
可选地,在所述UE判断接收到所述基站发送的所述业务频点的信息的情况下,则所述UE从所述RRC连接建立消息、或RRC连接恢复消息、或RRC连接重建立消息、或RRC连接重配置消息,或者系统信息块SIB中接收所述业务频点的窄带参考信号(Narrowband Reference Signal,NRS)的发射功率信息。所述业务频点的NRS发射功率信息提供了NRS在每个资源单元上的能量(Energy Per Resource Element,EPRE),用于所述UE进行:RSRP(Reference Signal Received Power)测量,和/或,路损计算。其中,所述业务频点对应的NRS发射功率信息可以通过相对于Anchor频点NRS功率的偏差来表征,或者,所述业务频点对应的NRS发射功率信息可以通过所述业务频点NRS功率的绝对值来表征。
进一步地,小区内承载广播信道的频点可以通过SIB信息或者RRC信令来获取。
作为一种优选实施方式,在所述UE接收到基站发送的业务频点的信息之前,所述UE还可以发送所述UE的多频点支持能力信息给所述基站,其中,所述UE的多频点支持能力信息用于指示所述UE是否支持多频点功能。本实施例中的所述UE支持多频点功能可以指所述 UE允许接受所述基站配置的所述业务频点的信息。
其中,所述UE的多频点支持能力信息可以通过以下消息之一携带:RRC连接请求,RRC连接恢复请求,RRC连接重建立请求。
可选地,在所述UE判断接收到所述基站发送的所述业务频点的信息前,所述UE通过SIB接收所述业务频点的NRS发射功率信息。所述业务频点的NRS发射功率信息提供了NRS在每个资源单元上的能量,用于所述UE被指派到所述业务频点上时,所述UE进行:RSRP测量,和/或,路损计算。其中,所述业务频点对应的NRS发射功率信息可以通过相对于Anchor频点NRS功率的偏差来表征,或者,所述业务频点对应的NRS发射功率信息可以通过所述业务频点NRS功率的绝对值来表征。
可选地,在所述UE向所述基站发起初始PRACH过程之前,所述UE要判断其所处无线覆盖级别:
当UE驻留于anchor载波上时,其无线覆盖级别基于所述UE测量到的Anchor载波的窄带参考信号接收功率NRSRP值与所述无线覆盖级别门限进行比较来获取;
当UE驻留于non-anchor载波上时,其无线覆盖级别基于所述UE测量到的Anchor载波的窄带参考信号接收功率NRSRP值加预定义偏移值与所述无线覆盖级别门限进行比较来获取;所述预定义偏移值可以为:Non-anchor载波NRS功率相对于Anchor载波NRS功率的功率差。
UE根据UE的驻留的载波类型确定UE的无线覆盖级别的具体方法为:对于驻留于Anchor载波上的初始PRACH过程:UE收到广播消息后,获取无线覆盖级别NRSRP门限【门限0,门限1】:采用无线覆盖级别NRSRP门限与当前的NRSRP测量值比较来进行无线覆盖级别判决:NRSRP值大于或等于门限0的覆盖为覆盖级别0;NRSRP值小于门限0,且大于或等于门限1的覆盖为覆盖级别1;NRSRP值小于门限1的覆盖为覆盖级别2。对于驻留于Non-Anchor载波上的初始PRACH过程:UE收到广播消息后,获取无线覆盖级别RSRP门限【门限0,门限1】:采用“无线覆盖级别RSRP门限”与当前的RSRP测量值+“Non-anchor载波NRS功率相对于Anchor载波NRS功率的功率偏差”比较来进行无线覆盖级别判决:RSRP值+“Non-anchor载波NRS功率相对于Anchor载波NRS功率的功率偏差”大于或“等于门限0”的覆盖为覆盖级别0;RSRP值+“Non-anchor载波NRS功率相对于Anchor载波NRS功率的功率偏差”小于“门限0”,且大于或等于“门限1”的覆盖为覆盖级别1;RSRP值+“Non-anchor载波NRS功率相对于Anchor载波NRS功率的功率偏差”小于“门限1”的覆盖为覆盖级别2。其中上述判断中所加的“Non-anchor载波NRS功率相对于Anchor载波NRS功率的功率偏差”可以根据SIB中广播的NRS功率信息来获取。
通过以上的实施方式的描述,本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到根据上述实施例的方法可借助软件加必需的通用硬件平台的方式来实现,当然也可以通过硬件,但很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。基于这样的理解,本发明的技术方案本质上或者说对现有技术做出贡献的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来,该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质(如ROM/RAM、磁碟、光盘)中,包括若干指令用以使得一台终端设备(可以是手机,计算机, 服务器,或者网络设备等)执行本发明各个实施例所述的方法。
在本实施例中还提供了一种频点选择装置,位于用户设备UE,该装置用于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2是根据本发明实施例的频点选择装置的结构框图,如图2所示,该装置包括:第一判断模块22,设置为判断是否接收到基站发送的业务频点的信息,其中所述业务频点为在承载所述UE的目标小区为多频点小区的情况下,所述基站选择的承载业务的频点;驻留模块24,设置为在所述第一判断模块22的判断结果为是的情况下,驻留在所述业务频点的信息对应的频点上;或者在判断结果为否的情况下,驻留在原驻留频点上。
在本实施例中,还提供了另一种频点选择方法,图3是根据本发明实施例的另一种频点选择方法的流程图,如图3所示,该流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S302,基站判断承载UE的目标小区是否为多频点小区;
步骤S304,如果是,则所述基站发送业务频点的信息给所述UE,其中,所述业务频点为所述基站为所述UE选择的承载业务的频点。
通过上述步骤,基站在承载UE的目标小区为多频点小区的情况下发送业务频点的信息给所述UE,其中,所述业务频点为所述基站为所述UE选择的承载业务的频点,从而UE可以通过接收该频点的信息,选择对应的频点进行数据的发送与接收,使得UE驻留的频点可以是由基站主动选择的承载业务的频点,解决了相关技术中的业务频点选择策略是被动选择,缺少主动性的问题,从技术上给出了实现对承载业务的频点的负荷均衡的基础,进一步对以小数据传输为主的NB-IoT系统来说,提升了系统效率。
作为一种优选实施方式,UE可以通过RRC连接请求、或RRC连接恢复请求、或RRC连接重建立请求发送UE的多频点小区支持能力的信息给基站,在这种情况下,在上述步骤S302之前,所述基站收到所述UE的RRC连接请求、或RRC连接恢复请求、或RRC连接重建立请求。可选地,所述基站可以将选择的所述业务频点的信息携带在RRC连接建立消息中发送给所述UE;或者,所述基站可以将所述业务频点的信息携带在RRC连接恢复消息中发送给所述UE;或者,所述基站可以将所述业务频点的信息携带在RRC连接重建立消息中发送给所述UE;或者,所述基站可以将所述业务频点的信息携带在RRC连接重配置消息中发送给所述UE。
可选地,所述基站发送业务频点的信息给所述UE包括:所述基站在相关消息中同时给所述UE发送所述业务频点的NRS发射功率信息。所述业务频点对应的NRS发射功率信息提供了NRS在每个资源单元上的能量,用于所述UE进行:RSRP测量,和/或,路损计算。其中,所述业务频点的NRS发射功率信息可以通过相对于Anchor频点NRS功率的偏差来表征,或者,所述业务频点的NRS发射功率信息可以通过所述业务频点NRS功率的绝对值来表征。
作为一种优选实施方式,所述基站可以从接收到的所述RRC连接请求、或RRC连接恢复请求、或RRC连接重建立请求中,获取所述UE的多频点支持能力信息,其中,所述UE的多频点支持能力信息用于指示所述UE是否支持多频点功能。在本实施例中,当所述UE的多频点支持能力信息指示所述UE支持多频点功能的情况下,所述基站可以为所述支持多频点功能的UE选择多频点小区的业务频点并配置业务频点信息;所述支持多频点功能的UE可接受基站配置的业务频点信息。
优选地,在所述UE当前状态为空闲IDLE态时,可以使所述UE驻留在承载广播信道的频点上。具体实现方式可以如下:
1.在小区初始选择时:UE只能监测到有广播信道的频点,所以只能选择驻留于承载广播信道的频点上;
2.在小区重选时:通过广播信息配置策略来实现。在广播信息的配置时,邻区频点以承载广播信道的频点为准。这样,UE重选时自然会重选到承载广播信道的频点上。
3.在UE由RRC连接状态向IDLE模式转换时:指定该UE驻留于承载广播信道的频点上。具体实现为:
如果基站在发送的RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中携带有所述业务频点的信息(也称重定向信元)的情况下,所述业务频点的信息仅填写承载广播信道的频点对应的信息,这样,UE就会驻留于承载广播信道的频点上;如果基站在RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中未携带有所述业务频点的信息(重定向信元),则UE释放后自动驻留于当前小区承载广播信道和同步信道的频点上。
具体地,可以在RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中携带承载广播信道的频点信息,引导UE驻留到承载广播信道的频点上;或者在RRC连接建立或RRC恢复完成消息中携带承载广播信道的频点,但RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中未携带承载广播信道的频点信息,则UE在RRC释放或RRC连接挂起时自动驻留到RRC连接建立或RRC恢复完成消息携带的承载广播信道的频点上;或者在RRC连接建立或RRC恢复完成消息中未携带承载广播信道的频点,且在RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中也未携带承载广播信道的频点信息,则UE在RRC释放或RRC连接挂起时自动驻留到上次IDLE模式接收广播的频点。
进一步地,小区内承载广播信道的频点可以通过SIB信息或者RRC信令来获取。
作为一种优选实施方式,在所述基站发送业务频点的信息给所述UE的情况下,所述基站在所述业务频点上进行对所述UE的后续流程;否则,所述基站对所述UE的后续流程在当前驻留频点上进行。可选地,所述基站对所述UE进行的后续流程可以包括所述UE在当前连接模式下的所有过程,例如当前连接模式下数据收发,当前连接模式下信令收发,及当前连接模式下的随机接入过程等。

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,提供了一种多频点小区内频点间负荷均衡的方法与设备,其中,该方法的具体策略如下:
当eNodeB收到无线资源控制RRC连接请求或RRC连接恢复请求时,如果承载该UE的目标小区是多频点小区,则eNodeB在小区内根据负荷情况选择承载业务的频点,并将选择的业务频点信息携带在RRC连接建立消息或RRC连接恢复消息发送给UE。
UE收到RRC连接建立消息或RRC连接恢复消息后,如果消息中携带了业务频点信息,则UE后续在该业务频点上进行数据的接收与发送;如果没有携带业务频点,则在原驻留频点上进行后续的业务接收与发送。
可选地:在IDLE模式,UE驻留于承载广播信道的频点,实现方式如下:
1.小区初始选择时:UE只能监测到有广播信道的频点,所以只能选择驻留于承载广播信道的频点上;
2.小区重选时:通过广播信息配置策略来实现。在广播信息的配置时,邻区频点以承载广播信道的频点为准。这样,UE重选时自然会重选到承载广播信道的频点上。
3.RRC连接状态向IDLE模式转换时:指定UE驻留于承载广播信道的频点上。具体实现为:如果RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中携带了重定向信元,则重定向信元里的频点信息只能填写承载广播信道的频点,这样,UE就会驻留于承载广播信道的频点上;如果RRC释放消息或RRC连接挂起消息中未携带重定向信元,则UE释放后自动驻留于当前小区承载广播信道和同步信道的频点上。进一步地,小区内承载广播信道的频点可以通过SIB信息或者RRC信令来获取。
通过上述方法,能够解决的技术问题是提出一种多频点小区内频点间负荷均衡的方法与设备,可以实现多频点小区内频点间的负荷均衡。
下面通过附图进一步详细说明本优选实施例给出的多频点小区内频点间负荷均衡的方法与设备。
在以下优选实施例中,提供了一个多频点小区的示例。其中:
小区包括五个频点:
第一个频点可以作为空闲模式的驻留频点:其中配置了广播信道(PBCH),同步信道(PSS/SSS),小区参考信道(CRS)、业务信道(PDCCH/PDSCH),第二、三、四、五个频点只可以作为业务承载频点,所以只配置了小区参考信道(CRS)、业务信道(PDCCH/PDSCH)。
