一种语音调度方法及装置Voice scheduling method and device
本申请要求于2016年6月24日提交中国专利局、申请号为201610473024.8、发明名称为“一种语音调度方法及装置”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。The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201610473024.8, entitled "A Voice Scheduling Method and Apparatus" on June 24, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. .
技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及语音技术领域,特别涉及一种语音调度方法及装置。The present invention relates to the field of voice technologies, and in particular, to a voice scheduling method and apparatus.
背景技术Background technique
VoLTE(Voice on LTE)为承载在LTE上的语音技术,能够提供高质量的语音体验。在LTE多载波组网场景下,由于各载波的制式(FDD(Frequency Division Duplexing,频分双工)或TDD(Time Division Duplexing,时分双工))、频段、功率配置、干扰和负载等差异性,可能导致在某个时刻或位置上不同载波上承载的VoLTE语音质量不一致。因此在LTE多载波场景下,可以选择一个较适合承载VoLTE的载波来承载语音,尽量减少干扰负载等带来的影响,获得语音体验最优。VoLTE (Voice on LTE) is a voice technology carried on LTE and can provide a high-quality voice experience. In the LTE multi-carrier networking scenario, due to differences in the format of each carrier (FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) or TDD (Time Division Duplexing), frequency band, power configuration, interference, and load. It may result in inconsistent VoLTE voice quality carried on different carriers at a certain moment or location. Therefore, in an LTE multi-carrier scenario, a carrier that is more suitable for carrying VoLTE can be selected to carry voice, minimize the impact of interference load, and obtain a voice experience optimal.
现有技术中当UE(User Equipment,用户设备)驻留在某个LTE载波频点上,由于干扰、负载等导致VoLTE语音质量差时或者认为VoLTE在其他载波频点上能够获得更好的语音质量时,可以触发一次异频切换,将VoLTE用户切换到异频频点上,在新的小区上提供语音服务,提升用户的语音体验。In the prior art, when a UE (User Equipment) resides at a certain LTE carrier frequency, the VoLTE voice quality is poor due to interference, load, etc., or VoLTE can be considered to obtain better voice at other carrier frequencies. In the case of quality, an inter-frequency handover can be triggered to switch the VoLTE user to the inter-frequency point to provide voice services on the new cell to enhance the user's voice experience.
然而,触发LTE的异频切换需要先中断UE与源小区的连接后再去接入新的小区,因此会带来语音通话用户面和信令面的中断,导致语音质量降低。However, the inter-frequency handover of the LTE is required to interrupt the connection between the UE and the source cell before accessing the new cell. Therefore, the user plane and the signaling plane of the voice call are interrupted, resulting in a decrease in voice quality.

301、基站接收用户设备UE发送的VoLTE呼叫请求,并在所述UE驻留的小区与所述UE建立VoLTE承载。301. The base station receives a VoLTE call request sent by the user equipment UE, and establishes a VoLTE bearer with the UE in the cell where the UE camps.

After receiving the voice bearer setup request of the MME, the base station eNodeB establishes a VoLTE bearer with the UE currently camped on the UE, and initiates a voice call.
302、当所述基站与所述UE已建立载波聚合CA时,所述基站根据服务小区的信号质量高低或者负载大小确定目标小区,所述服务小区包括主小区和辅小区。302. When the base station and the UE have established a carrier aggregation CA, the base station determines a target cell according to a signal quality of the serving cell or a load size, where the serving cell includes a primary cell and a secondary cell.
可选的,当所述基站与所述UE未建立载波聚合CA时,所述基站发送操作指令,所述操作指令用于指示所述基站与所述UE建立CA。Optionally, when the base station and the UE do not establish a carrier aggregation CA, the base station sends an operation instruction, where the operation instruction is used to indicate that the base station establishes a CA with the UE.
需要说明的是,当使用载波聚合CA的时候,就会有多个小区,每个组成载波对应一个小区。由于组成载波的频率和混合型网络的功率使用情况不同,小区的覆盖大小可能不同。多个小区中,一个小区用于RRC链接,叫做主小区,使用主组成载波。其他小区,叫做辅小区,使用其他组成载波,即辅组成载波。It should be noted that when carrier aggregation CA is used, there are multiple cells, and each component carrier corresponds to one cell. The coverage size of a cell may be different due to the difference in the frequency of the component carriers and the power usage of the hybrid network. Among the multiple cells, one cell is used for the RRC link, called the primary cell, and the primary component carrier is used. Other cells, called secondary cells, use other component carriers, that is, auxiliary carriers.
关于主小区和辅小区,3GPP 36.331协议定义如下:Regarding the primary cell and the secondary cell, the 3GPP 36.331 protocol is defined as follows:
主小区是运行在主频点上的小区;在这个小区,UE既进行初始的连接建立过程或者发起重建立过程,也作为切换过程中的主小区。The primary cell is a cell that operates at a primary frequency point; in this cell, the UE performs both an initial connection establishment process or a re-establishment process, and also serves as a primary cell in the handover process.
辅小区是运行在辅频点上的小区;在这个小区,通过配置来建立一个RRC连接,用来提供额外的无线资源。The secondary cell is a cell operating at a secondary frequency point; in this cell, an RRC connection is established through configuration to provide additional radio resources.
对于服务小区,对没有配置CA的连接态UE而言,只有一个主小区作为服务小区。而对于配置了CA的连接态UE而言,服务小区用来表示主小区和辅小区组成的一个或多个小区。For a serving cell, for a connected state UE that does not have a CA configured, only one primary cell serves as a serving cell. For a connected UE configured with a CA, the serving cell is used to indicate one or more cells composed of a primary cell and a secondary cell.
当所述基站与所述UE已建立载波聚合CA时,所述基站根据服务小区的信号质量高低或者负载大小确定目标小区。VoLTE的语音质量跟无线侧的信号质量(信号强度和干扰强度)强相关,随着无线侧信号质量的变差,语音质量会在出现一个拐点后迅速下降。同样的随着LTE小区内的负载加重,该小区内承载的语音用户语音质量也会在出现一个拐点后迅速下降。因此在LTE多载波场景下,可以选择一个最适合承载VoLTE的载波来承载语音,尽量减少干扰负载等带来的影响,获得语音体验最优。When the base station and the UE have established a carrier aggregation CA, the base station determines the target cell according to the signal quality of the serving cell or the load size. The voice quality of VoLTE is strongly correlated with the signal quality (signal strength and interference strength) on the wireless side. As the signal quality of the wireless side deteriorates, the voice quality will drop rapidly after an inflection point. Similarly, as the load in the LTE cell increases, the voice quality of voice users carried in the cell will also drop rapidly after an inflection point occurs. Therefore, in an LTE multi-carrier scenario, a carrier that is most suitable for carrying VoLTE can be selected to carry voice, minimize the impact of interference load, and obtain a voice experience optimal.
可选的,所述目标小区的数量至少为一个。例如,确定信号质量较高的一个或多个为目标小区,或者确定小区负载较小的一个或多个为目标小区。目标小区的数量不超过服务小区的数量即可。 Optionally, the number of the target cells is at least one. For example, one or more of the signals with higher signal quality are determined to be the target cell, or one or more of the cells with less cell load are determined to be the target cell. The number of target cells does not exceed the number of serving cells.
303、所述基站在所述目标小区上传输VoLTE下行语音包或指示所述UE在所述目标小区上发送VoLTE上行语音包。303. The base station transmits a VoLTE downlink voice packet on the target cell or instructs the UE to send a VoLTE uplink voice packet on the target cell.
可选的,所述载波聚合CA包括上行CA;Optionally, the carrier aggregation CA includes an uplink CA.
当所述基站与所述UE已建立上行CA时,所述基站在物理下行控制信道PDCCH上发送上行调度信息;所述上行调度信息用于指示所述UE在所述目标小区上发送VoLTE上行语音包。When the base station and the UE have established an uplink CA, the base station sends uplink scheduling information on the physical downlink control channel PDCCH; the uplink scheduling information is used to instruct the UE to send VoLTE uplink voice on the target cell. package.
需要说明的是,在基站与所述UE已建立上行CA的情况下,使用上行CA可实现VoLTE的上行语音包在不同的小区上发送。具体的,当所述基站与所述UE已建立上行CA时,基站判断确定的目标小区是否支持VoLTE,如果目标小区支持VoLTE,则基站在物理下行控制信道PDCCH上发送上行调度信息指示UL Grant指示UE在目标小区上发送VoLTE上行语音包。It should be noted that, in the case that the base station and the UE have established an uplink CA, the uplink voice packet of the VoLTE can be transmitted on different cells by using the uplink CA. Specifically, when the base station and the UE have established an uplink CA, the base station determines whether the determined target cell supports VoLTE. If the target cell supports VoLTE, the base station sends an uplink scheduling information indication UL Grant indication on the physical downlink control channel PDCCH. The UE sends a VoLTE uplink voice packet on the target cell.
可选的,所述载波聚合CA包括下行CA;Optionally, the carrier aggregation CA includes a downlink CA;
当所述基站与所述UE已建立下行CA时,所述基站在所述目标小区上传输VoLTE下行语音包。When the base station and the UE have established a downlink CA, the base station transmits a VoLTE downlink voice packet on the target cell.
需要说明的是,在基站与所述UE已建立下行CA的情况下,使用下行CA可实现VoLTE的下行语音包在不同的小区上发送。具体的,当所述基站与所述UE已建立下行CA时,基站判断确定的目标小区是否支持VoLTE,如果目标小区支持VoLTE,则基站在目标小区上传输VoLTE下行语音包。It should be noted that, in the case that the base station and the UE have established a downlink CA, the downlink voice packet of the VoLTE can be transmitted on different cells by using the downlink CA. Specifically, when the base station and the UE have established a downlink CA, the base station determines whether the determined target cell supports VoLTE. If the target cell supports VoLTE, the base station transmits a VoLTE downlink voice packet on the target cell.
进一步的,当所述目标小区的数量为两个时,所述基站在所述目标小区上传输VoLTE下行语音包或指示所述UE在所述目标小区上发送VoLTE上行语音包,包括:Further, when the number of the target cells is two, the base station transmits a VoLTE downlink voice packet on the target cell or instructs the UE to send a VoLTE uplink voice packet on the target cell, including:
所述基站在所述第一目标小区或第二目标小区上传输VoLTE下行语音包;或者,Transmitting, by the base station, a VoLTE downlink voice packet on the first target cell or the second target cell; or
所述基站指示所述UE在所述第一目标小区或第二目标小区上发送VoLTE上行语音包。The base station instructs the UE to send a VoLTE uplink voice packet on the first target cell or the second target cell.
传统方案中VoLTE的上下行承载只能全部承载在同一小区上,若想要实现VoLTE转移到其他异频小区上,则需要触发一次硬切换,必然带来语音质量的降低。通过CA技术,针对CA用户,无需切换仅通过调度的方式就可实现VoLTE承载在不同小区间的转移,避免切换带来的损失;而且可实现VoLTE的上下行承载分开承载在不同的小区上,提供更加灵活的承载策略,灵活适应各种场景。In the traditional solution, the uplink and downlink bearers of VoLTE can only be carried in the same cell. If you want to transfer VoLTE to other inter-frequency cells, you need to trigger a hard handover, which will inevitably reduce the voice quality. Through the CA technology, for the CA users, the VoLTE bearer can be transferred between different cells without switching only by scheduling, and the loss caused by the handover can be avoided; and the uplink and downlink bearers of the VoLTE can be separately carried in different cells. Provide a more flexible bearer strategy and flexibly adapt to various scenarios.
例如,根据步骤302中确定的两个目标小区分别为主小区Pcell和辅小区Scell,通过本发明方案,可实现VoLTE的上下行承载在不同的小区上,承载方式从VoLTE只在Pcell承载到通过调度方式转变成如下几种方式:For example, the two target cells determined in the step 302 are the primary cell Pcell and the secondary cell Scell respectively, and the uplink and downlink bearers of the VoLTE are carried in different cells by the solution of the present invention, and the bearer mode is only carried by the PLTE from the Pcell to the pass. The scheduling method is transformed into the following ways:
1、VoLTE上下行语音包都在Pcell上发送;1. The VoLTE uplink and downlink voice packets are sent on the Pcell.
2、VoLTE上下行语音包都在Scell上发送;2. The voice packets of the VoLTE uplink and downlink are sent on the Scell.
3、VoLTE上行语音包在Pcell上发送,下行语音包在Scell上发送;3. The VoLTE uplink voice packet is sent on the Pcell, and the downlink voice packet is sent on the Scell;
4、VoLTE上行语音包在Scell上发送,下行语音包在Pcell上发送。4. The VoLTE uplink voice packet is sent on the Scell, and the downlink voice packet is sent on the Pcell.
本发明实施例中,基站接收用户设备UE发送的VoLTE呼叫请求,并在所述UE驻留的小区与所述UE建立VoLTE承载;当所述基站与所述UE已建立载波聚合CA时,由于建立CA后基站与UE同时连接了多个载波,每个载波对应一个小区,这些小区的集合作 为服务小区,所述基站根据服务小区的信号质量高低或者负载大小确定目标小区,并在所述目标小区上传输VoLTE下行语音包或指示所述UE在所述目标小区上发送VoLTE上行语音包;从而通过调度的方式实现VoLTE语音包在小区上的承载,提高了语音通话的语音质量。In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station receives the VoLTE call request sent by the user equipment UE, and establishes a VoLTE bearer with the UE in the cell where the UE camps; when the base station and the UE have established a carrier aggregation CA, After the CA is established, the base station and the UE simultaneously connect multiple carriers, and each carrier corresponds to one cell, and the cooperation of these cells a serving cell, the base station determining a target cell according to a signal quality of the serving cell or a load size, and transmitting a VoLTE downlink voice packet on the target cell or instructing the UE to send a VoLTE uplink voice packet on the target cell; Therefore, the bearer of the VoLTE voice packet on the cell is implemented in a scheduling manner, and the voice quality of the voice call is improved.
下面以一具体应用场景对本发明提供的语音调度方法加以说明。The voice scheduling method provided by the present invention is described below in a specific application scenario.
UE在空闲态或连接态发起VoLTE呼叫请求,基站eNodeB在收到MME的语音承载建立请求后,在UE当前驻留的小区与UE建立VoLTE承载,发起语音呼叫。当所述基站与所述UE已建立上行载波聚合CA时,所述基站根据服务小区的信号质量高低或者负载大小确定第一目标小区,当所述基站与所述UE已建立下行载波聚合CA时,所述基站根据服务小区的信号质量高低或者负载大小确定第二目标小区。假设第一目标小区为主小区Pcell,第二目标小区为辅小区Scell,且Pcell和Scell均支持VoLTE。如图4所示的VoLTE语音包的发送示意图,主小区Pcell和辅小区Scell均支持VoLTE,每个小区中均包括上行链路UL和下行链路DL。通过本发明方案,可实现VoLTE的上下行承载在不同的小区上,承载方式从VoLTE只在Pcell承载到通过调度方式转变成如下几种方式:The UE initiates a VoLTE call request in an idle state or a connected state. After receiving the voice bearer setup request of the MME, the base station eNodeB establishes a VoLTE bearer with the UE currently camped on the UE, and initiates a voice call. When the base station and the UE have established an uplink carrier aggregation CA, the base station determines a first target cell according to a signal quality of the serving cell or a load size, when the base station and the UE have established a downlink carrier aggregation CA. The base station determines the second target cell according to the signal quality of the serving cell or the load size. It is assumed that the first target cell is the primary cell Pcell, the second target cell is the secondary cell Scell, and both the Pcell and the Scell support VoLTE. As shown in FIG. 4, the primary cell Pcell and the secondary cell Scell support VoLTE, and each cell includes an uplink UL and a downlink DL. With the solution of the present invention, the uplink and downlink bearers of the VoLTE can be implemented in different cells, and the bearer mode is changed from the Pcell bearer to the scheduling mode by the following methods:
1、VoLTE上下行语音包都在Pcell上发送;1. The VoLTE uplink and downlink voice packets are sent on the Pcell.
2、VoLTE上下行语音包都在Scell上发送;2. The voice packets of the VoLTE uplink and downlink are sent on the Scell.
3、VoLTE上行语音包在Pcell上发送,下行语音包在Scell上发送;3. The VoLTE uplink voice packet is sent on the Pcell, and the downlink voice packet is sent on the Scell;
4、VoLTE上行语音包在Scell上发送,下行语音包在Pcell上发送。4. The VoLTE uplink voice packet is sent on the Scell, and the downlink voice packet is sent on the Pcell.
