Description

一种小区切换方法及装置 技术领域
本公开涉及通信领域，特别是指一种小区切换方法及装置。
背景技术
移动通信系统与固定通信系统一个显著的区别在于“移动性”。移动通信系统中UE(User Equipment，用户设备)位置处于不断变化的状态，由于单个小区的覆盖范围总是有限的，为了不影响用户体验，需要不断为UE更换服务小区。在LTE(Long Term Evolution，长期演进)系统中，当UE处于RRC_CONNECTED(Radio Resource Control Connected，无线资源控制连接)状态时，移动性主要由切换或重定向来完成。
切换主要分为三个阶段：切换相关的测量下发、切换判决和切换执行。基站将用于切换的测量配置下发给UE，当测量配置的条件满足后UE上报测量报告，基站根据测量报告进行切换判决，选择目标小区执行切换。
当目标小区为多个同覆盖小区时，因为同频测量控制总是最先下发，所以UE总是会被首先切换到同频的目标小区中。在人群密集移动的时候，会导致目标的同频小区负荷迅速增长，而与其同覆盖的其它频点的小区却相对空闲。另外，在UE初始接入中，因为种种原因，也可能导致UE总是首先接入到某一个频点，同样会导致上述的问题。为解决上述问题，现有的LTE系统设计了负荷均衡功能来均衡同覆盖小区之间的无线负荷，但是，负荷均衡功能需要通过再一次切换来完成同覆盖小区间的UE的转移，增加了设备负担，也延迟了UE进入最佳小区的时机。
发明内容
本公开要解决的技术问题是提供一种小区切换方法及装置，以解决现有的小区切换过程中存在一次无效切换的问题。
在第一方面，本公开的实施例提供一种小区切换方法，包括：
获取与当前接入源小区的用户设备UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组；
根据同覆盖邻接小区组内各小区的负荷状态，从同覆盖邻接小区组中确定一个小区为目标小区；
指示UE从源小区切换至目标小区。
其中，根据同覆盖邻接小区组内各小区的负荷状态，从同覆盖邻接小区组中确定一个小区为目标小区的步骤包括：
获取同覆盖邻接小区组中，负荷状态为第一负荷状态的切换备选邻区；
从切换备选邻区中选取一第一小区作为目标小区。
其中，从切换备选邻区中选取一第一小区作为目标小区的步骤包括：
从切换备选邻区中轮询选取一第一小区；
向选取的第一小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第一小区返回的切换准备成功的消息后，确定第一小区为目标小区。
其中，从切换备选邻区中选取一第一小区作为目标小区的步骤包括：
从切换备选邻区中任意选取一第二小区；
向选取的第二小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第二小区返回的切换准备失败的消息后，从切换备选邻区中任意选取一第一小区；
向第一小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第一小区返回的切换准备成功的消息时，确定第一小区为目标小区。
其中，在向第二小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第二小区返回的切换准备失败的消息的同时，还包括：
当返回的切换准备失败的原因为容量原因，则在预定时间内，不再选取第二小区，并将第二小区的负荷状态设置为与第一负荷状态相反的第二负荷状态。

具体实施方式
为使本公开要解决的技术问题、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图及具体实 施例进行详细描述。
负荷均衡功能，是用来平衡小区间、频率间和无线接入技术之间的负荷。此功能可以平衡整个系统的性能，提高系统的稳定性。此功能是根据服务小区和其邻区负荷状态合理部署小区运行流量，并有效地使用系统资源，以提高系统的容量和提高系统的稳定性。在一般情况下，负荷均衡功能可以被划分为三个阶段。
在测量阶段，持续监控和更新服务小区的负荷状态和相邻小区的负荷状态。如果存在X2接口，定期通过X2接口获取异站邻区负荷信息，或者通过内部消息获取同基站邻区负荷信息。如果UTRAN(UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network，UMTS陆地无线接入网)系统支持RIM(RAN Information Management，无线接入网信息管理)过程，通过S1口的RIM过程获取UTRAN系统邻区负荷信息。
在判决阶段，根据测量阶段收集的测量信息判断服务小区是否是处于高负荷状态。如果服务小区处于高负荷状态，负荷均衡执行阶段将被触发。否则，会重复进行负荷测量阶段和判决阶段。
在执行阶段，服务小区处于高负荷状态。服务小区中的某些用户设备被选中去执行A4(LTE内的负荷均衡)或B1(系统间的负荷均衡)测量，根据UE的测量结果，将选出用于切换的UE切换到低负荷邻区。在盲切换的条件下，UE直接被切换到低负荷邻小区。无线资源的负荷，即小区的PRB(Physical Resource Block，物理资源块)利用率，是这个阶段进行负荷均衡唯一要考虑的负荷因素。
参见图1和图2，现有的小区切换方法中，在切换目标侧有同覆盖小区的场景下，很可能产生将UE从源小区切换到目标侧同覆盖小区中的小区1，然后根据负荷均衡，又将UE从小区1切换到小区2的情况，这样增加了一次无效切换，同时也浪费了宝贵的空口资源用于无效的切换信令传输。参见图3，为解决上述问题，本公开方法实施例提供一种小区切换方法，综合考虑测量和负荷均衡，直接将UE切换到满足条件的目标侧的小区，这样，可以在现有技术的基础上，减少UE的一次切换过程，降低系统负荷，节约空口资源，提高用户的体验。
请参见图4，其示出的是本公开方法实施例提供的小区切换方法的流程示意图，本公开的实施例提供的小区切换方法，可以包括以下步骤：
步骤101，获取与当前接入源小区的用户设备UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组。
这里，在确定对UE更换服务小区时，根据获取到的UE测量上报的邻接小区，获取与UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组。
步骤102，根据同覆盖邻接小区组内各小区的负荷状态，从同覆盖邻接小区组中确定一个小区为目标小区。
这里，获取同覆盖邻接小区组内各小区的负荷状态，然后根据各小区的负荷状态从同覆盖邻接小区组中确定一个小区为目标小区。本实施例对于同覆盖邻接小区组内各小区的 负荷状态的获取方式不作限定，这里仅举例说明。例如，对于该同覆盖邻接小区组中属于同一基站的小区可以通过基站的内部消息获取小区的负荷状态；对于该同覆盖邻接小区组中属于不同基站的小区，当基站间配置了X2接口且传输正常时，可以通过X2接口获取同覆盖邻接小区组中异基站的小区的负荷状态，当基站间没有配置X2接口或X2接口故障，且同时支持RIM过程，可以通过S1接口的RIM过程获取同覆盖邻接小区组中异基站的小区的负荷状态。另外，需要说明的是，上述步骤102中确定的目标小区，是在同覆盖邻接小区组中，根据该同覆盖邻接小区组内各小区的负荷状态而确定的某一小区，并不一定是获取到的UE测量上报的邻接小区。
步骤103，指示UE从源小区切换至目标小区。
这里，上述步骤103属于现有流程，本实施例在此不作赘述。
在一实施例，步骤102中，根据同覆盖邻接小区组内各小区的负荷状态，从同覆盖邻接小区组中确定一个小区为目标小区的步骤可以包括：
获取同覆盖邻接小区组中，负荷状态为第一负荷状态的切换备选邻区；
这里，小区的负荷状态包括第一负荷状态以及与该第一负荷状态相反的第二负荷状态，这里将第一负荷状态称为低负荷状态，第二负荷状态称为高负荷状态。通过该步骤，以将同覆盖邻接小区组中，负荷状态为低负荷状态的小区作为切换备选邻区。另外，可以将同覆盖邻接小区组中负荷状态为高负荷状态的小区设置为不可选取。
从切换备选邻区中选取一第一小区作为目标小区。
在一实施例中，上述从切换备选邻区中选取一第一小区作为目标小区的步骤可以包括：
从切换备选邻区中轮询选取一第一小区；
这里，采用轮询选取的策略从切换备选邻区中选取一个小区，即上述第一小区。另外，也可以采用任意选取的策略从切换备选邻区中选取一个小区。
向选取的第一小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第一小区返回的切换准备成功的消息后，确定第一小区为目标小区。
这里，采用现有流程向选取的第一小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到该第一小区返回的切换准备成功的消息后，将第一小区确定为目标小区，以执行上述步骤103。
在一实施例中，上述从切换备选邻区中选取一第一小区作为目标小区的步骤包括：
从切换备选邻区中任意选取一第二小区；
这里，采用任意选取的策略从切换备选邻区中选取一个小区，即上述第二小区。另外，也可以采用轮询选取的策略从切换备选邻区中选取一个小区。通过任意选取或者轮询选取的策略可以近似平均地将为源小区中需要进行小区切换的UE近乎平均地切换到同覆盖邻接小区组中的各小区。
向选取的第二小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第二小区返回的切换准备失败的消息后，从切换备选邻区中任意选取一第一小区；
这里，由于第二小区的负荷状态变化，或者其他原因，例如第二小区链路异常、RRC拥塞等，从而导致接收到第二小区返回切换准备失败的消息，此时，再次从切换备选邻区中任意选取一个小区。
向第一小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第一小区返回的切换准备成功的消息时，确定第一小区为目标小区。
进一步的，在一实施例中，在向第二小区发送切换准备消息，并在接收到第二小区返回的切换准备失败的消息的同时，还包括以下步骤：
当返回的切换准备失败的原因为容量原因，则在预定时间内，不再选取第二小区，并将第二小区的负荷状态设置为与第一负荷状态相反的第二负荷状态。
这里，预先维护有一个因容量原因切换准备失败的标识，当返回的切换准备失败的原因为容量原因时，则触发该标识，在预定时间内，不再选取第二小区，并将第二小区的负荷状态设置为第二负荷状态，即高负荷状态。另外，该预定时间可以根据实际应用需求进行设置，例如，设置该预定时间为1分钟。
请参见图5，在一具体实施例中，以小区A为例，在与UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组中存在该小区A，且已经从切换备选邻区中选取该小区A(此时，小区A的负荷状态为低负荷状态，且这里小区A为上述从切换备选邻区中任意选取的第二小区)。源小区向该小区A发送切换准备消息，在同一时间段内可能已有多个UE向小区A进行切换，或者其他可能发生负荷变化的原因，导致该小区A的负荷状态发生变化，此时，小区A返回切换准备失败的消息，且切换准备失败的原因为容量原因，即No radio resources available in target cell(在目标小区没有任何的可用无线资源)，这时，源小区在接收到该小区A返回的切换准备失败的消息时，触发预先维护的因容量原因切换准备失败的标识，将该小区A的负荷状态设置为高负荷状态，即将小区A设置为高负荷小区，并设置定时器定时1分钟(预定时间)，在该1分钟内不再选取该小区A，当定时器超时，则重新将该小区A的负荷状态设置为低负荷状态，即将小区A设置为低负荷小区。
另外，在一实施例中，在一段时间内，接收到某小区返回的切换准备失败的消息的次数达到以预定值时，降低该某小区的选取概率，其中，切换准备失败的原因不是容量原因。这里，在一段时间接收到某小区达到预定值的返回的切换准备失败消息的次数，则表示某小区异常，此时增加惩罚策略，降低某小区的选取概率。
其中，步骤101中，获取与当前接入源小区的用户设备UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组的步骤可以包括：
根据预先维护的源小区的各邻接小区之间的覆盖关系，获取与UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组。
这里，源小区预先维护有各邻接小区之间的覆盖关系，并根据各邻接小区之间的覆盖关系设置有同覆盖邻接小区组。该各邻接小区之间的覆盖关系可以通过小区配置数据获 取。其中，可以为每一同覆盖邻接小区组设置一个组ID，以区分各同覆盖邻接小区组。
本公开方法实施例提供的小区切换方法，综合考虑测量和负荷均衡，直接将UE切换到满足条件的目标侧的小区，可以在很大程度上减少UE的无效切换过程，降低了系统负荷，节约了空口资源，提高了用户的体验。

最后，结合附图，再通过两个具体实施例对本公开进行更为详细的说明。
参见图6和图7，在第一具体实施例中，目标侧为多个同覆盖小区、源侧到目标侧无X2链路，源侧到目标侧的切换基于S1的切换。其中，图6中，Src eNB表示源小区所在基站。
步骤701，接收UE的测量报告。这里，UE通过Uu接口向源小区发送Measure Report(测量报告)，源小区根据接收的UE的测量报告获取UE测量上报的邻接小区。
步骤702，判断测量上报的邻接小区是否存在同覆盖小区。这里，即判断是否存在与UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组。当判断结果为是，执行步骤703，否则，流程结束。
步骤703，判断是否有小区处于高负荷状态。这里，对与UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组内的各小区的负荷状态进行判断，当判断结果为是，执行步骤704，否则，执行步骤705。
步骤704，将高负荷状态的小区置为不可选取。
步骤705，随机选取一个同覆盖小区。这里，从同覆盖邻接小区组中随机选取一个同覆盖小区，源小区向该选取的同覆盖小区发送切换准备消息，具体的，通过所在基站(Src eNB)的S1接口向MME(Mobility Management Entity，移动管理实体)发送Handover Required(切换要求)消息，MME向选取的同覆盖小区(图6中的Dst eNB1Cell:2)所在的基站(Dst eNB1)通过S1接口发送Handover request(切换请求)消息；源小区在接收到选取的同覆盖小区返回的切换准备成功的消息后，将选取的同覆盖小区确定为目标小区，具体的，选取的同覆盖小区通过S1接口发送Handover Request Ack(切换请求证实)消息给MME，MME通过S1接口向源小区发送Handover Command(切换命令)消息，此时，将该选取的同覆盖小区确定为目标小区。在该实施例中不考虑目标小区返回切换准备失败的消息的情况。
步骤706，指示UE执行小区切换。这里，源小区向UE发送RRC Connection Reconfiguration(无线资源控制连接重配置)消息，UE向目标小区发送RRC connection reconfiguration complete(无线资源控制连接重配置完成)消息给目标小区，以完成接入目标小区。
参见图8和图9，在第二具体实施例中，目标侧为多个同覆盖小区、源侧到目标侧有X2链路且传输正常，源侧到目标侧的切换基于X2的切换。
步骤901，接收UE的测量报告。这里，UE通过Uu接口向源小区发送Measure Report(测量报告)，源小区根据接收的UE的测量报告获取UE测量上报的邻接小区(图8中的Dst Cell a)。
步骤902，判断UE测量上报的邻接小区是否存在同覆盖小区。这里，即判断是否存在与UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组。当判断结果为是，执行步骤903，否则，流程结束。
步骤903，判断是否有小区处在高负荷状态。这里，对与UE测量上报的邻接小区具有同覆盖关系的同覆盖邻接小区组内的各小区的负荷状态进行判断，当判断结果为是，执行步骤904，否则，执行步骤905。
步骤904，将高负荷状态的小区置为不可选取。
步骤905，随机选取一个同覆盖小区。这里，从同覆盖邻接小区组中随机选取一个同覆盖小区，源小区向选取的同覆盖小区发送切换准备消息。具体的，参见图8，假定选取的同覆盖小区为小区b(图8中的Dst Cell b)，通过所在基站(Src eNB)的X2接口向小区b发送Handover Required消息。
步骤906，判断切换准备响应是否失败。这里，判断源小区接收到的切换准备响应是否为失败，若是，则执行步骤907，否则，执行步骤909。
步骤907，判断切换准备失败原因是否为容量原因。这里，判断切换准备失败的原因是否为容量原因，即原因是否为No radio resources available in target cell，若是，则执行步骤908，否则，重新执行步骤905。
步骤908，设置该同覆盖小区为高负荷小区。这里，在预定时间内该同覆盖小区的负荷状态设置为高负荷状态。
参见图8，上述步骤906至908中，小区b通过X2接口向源小区返回Handover Request Failure(切换请求失败)消息，则源小区重新选取一个同覆盖小区，即小区c(图8中的Dst Cell c)，源小区通过X2接口向小区c发送Handover Required消息，并在接收到小区c返回的切换准备成功的消息后，将小区c确定为目标小区，具体的，小区c通过X2接口发送Handover Request Ack消息给源小区，此时，将该小区c确定为目标小区。
步骤909，指示UE执行小区切换。这里，源小区通过Uu接口向UE发送RRC Connection Reconfiguration消息，UE向目标小区发送RRC connection reconfiguration complete消息给目标小区，以完成接入目标小区。
