Description

通信方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2016年9月9日提交中国专利局,申请号为201610819331.7、发明名称为“通信方法和通信装置”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。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种通信方法和一种通信装置。
背景技术
随着通信业务量的急剧增加,3GPP授权频谱显得越来越不足以提供更高的网络容量。因此3GPP提出了LAA(LTE Assisted Access,LTE辅助接入)的概念,用于借助LTE授权频谱的帮助来使用非授权频谱,LAA方案是基于载波聚合的功能来将LTE系统部署在非授权频段。
同时,非授权频谱可以有两种工作方式,一种是补充下行(SDL,Supplemental Downlink),即只有下行传输子帧;另一种是TDD模式,既包含下行子帧、也包含上行子帧。补充下行这种情况只能是借助载波聚合技术使用。而TDD模式除了可以借助载波聚合技术使用外,还可以借助DC (Dual Connectivity,双连通)使用,也可以独立使用。
现有方案只讨论了非授权频谱与LTE授权频谱使用载波聚合的方式进行工作时的各种问题,没有讨论使用双连接的方式进行工作时的问题。在很多情况下,非授权频谱部署的基站与授权频谱所在基站之间的连接是非理想的,只能使用双连接的方式。而在双连接的情况下,SeNB(Secondary eNB,辅基站)需要有一个PSCell (Primary Secondary cell,主辅助小区)来提供PCell(Primary cell,主小区)的部分功能,比如MIB(Master Information Block,主要信息块)的发送、PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel,物理下行控制信道)和PUCCH(Physical Uplink Control Channel,物理上行控制信道)的控制、随机接入过程的控制、RLM(Radio Link Monitoring,无线链路监测)控制等。而LAA中即载波聚合工作方式中,非授权频谱上的小区不具备或只具备较弱的这几项功能,无法保证PSCell的有效性。
此外,在非授权频谱上,也可以部署工作在非授权载波上的PCell,即非授权频谱上的小区独立工作(即standalone),以实现对通信的控制。
基于上述两种情况,如何保证非授权频段上的PSCell或PCell能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信息和数据,保证通信的时延和效率成为亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本发明正是基于上述技术问题至少之一,提出了一种新的通信方案,可以提高非授权频段上的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组上的信号发送概率,进而可以保证主小区群组或主辅助小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信息和数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
有鉴于此,根据本发明的第一方面,提出了一种通信方法,包括以下步骤:向每个终端配置至少一个服务小区,每个所述服务小区工作在一个非授权载波上;从所述至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为所述每个终端的主小区或主辅助小区,以组成所述每个终端的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组;通过所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组与所述每个终端进行通信。
在该技术方案中,当从工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为每个终端的主小区,以组成每个终端的主小区群组,进而通过该主小区群组来与每个终端进行通信时,是非授权频谱独立工作、且在非授权频段上部署主小区的通信场景,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此通过由主小区群组来与每个终端进行通信,可以提高每个终端的主小区群组上的信号发送概率,进而可以保证主小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信息和数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。

方案三:

为了能够更清楚地理解本发明的上述目的、特征和优点,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明进行进一步的详细描述。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本发明,但是,本发明还可以采用其他不同于在此描述的其他方式来实施,因此,本发明的保护范围并不受下面公开的具体实施例的限制。
图1示出了根据本发明的第一个实施例的通信方法的示意流程图。
如图1所示,根据本发明的第一个实施例的通信方法,包括以下步骤:
步骤S10,向每个终端配置至少一个服务小区,每个所述服务小区工作在一个非授权载波上。
步骤S12,从所述至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为所述每个终端的主小区或主辅助小区,以组成所述每个终端的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组。
对于步骤S10中如何配置上述至少一个服务小区以及步骤S12中如何选择并组成每个终端的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组,本发明提出了如下三个方案:
方案一:
工作在授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区向所述每个终端在辅基站上配置所述至少一个服务小区,其中,所述主服务小区从所述至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为所述每个终端在所述辅基站上的主辅助小区,以组成所述每个终端在所述辅基站上的主辅助小区群组。
方案一适用于非授权频段和授权频段以双连接的方式进行通信的场景,即由工作在授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区来向每个终端在辅基站上配置至少一个服务小区,并由主服务小区来选择并组成每个终端在辅基站上的主辅助小区群组。
方案二:
工作在授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区向所述每个终端在辅基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的主辅助服务小区,所述主辅助服务小区向所述每个终端在所述辅基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,所述0个或至少一个小区和所述主辅助服务小区组成所述至少一个服务小区,其中,所述主辅助服务小区从所述至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为所述每个终端在所述辅基站上的主辅助小区,以组成所述每个终端在所述辅基站上的主辅助小区群组。
方案二也适用于非授权频段和授权频段以双连接的方式进行通信的场景,即由工作在授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区来向每个终端在辅基站上配置主辅助服务小区,进而由主辅助服务小区向每个终端在辅基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,这0个或至少一个小区和主辅助服务小区共同组成了上述至少一个服务小区,然后由主辅助服务小区来选择并组成每个终端在辅基站上的主辅助小区群组。
进一步地,在所述主辅助服务小区为多个的情况下,向所述每个终端配置所述0个或至少一个小区的配置信令由所述主辅助服务小区中的一个或多个发送。其中,所述的配置信令可以是RRC信令。
方案三:
工作在非授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区向所述每个终端在所述主基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,所述0个或至少一个小区和所述主服务小区组成所述至少一个服务小区,其中,所述主服务小区从所述至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为所述每个终端的主小区,以组成所述每个终端的主小区群组。
方案三适用于非授权频段独立工作、且在非授权频段上部署主小区的通信场景,即由非授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区向每个终端在主基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,这0个或至少一个小区和主服务小区共同组成了上述至少一个服务小区,然后由主服务小区来选择并组成每个终端的主小区群组。
图1所示的通信方法还包括:
步骤S14,通过所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组与所述每个终端进行通信。
以下详细介绍主小区群组或主辅助小区群组与每个终端进行通信的过程:
1、主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的所有小区均能够发送主要信息块。
具体地,通过主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中检测到下行信道空闲的小区发送所述主要信息块。
其中,若主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的多个小区检测到下行信道空闲,则在同一时间可以通过多个小区中的一个或多个小区发送所述主要信息块。
为了增加主要信息块的发送机会,可以在主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的多个小区检测到下行信道空闲时,控制这多个小区在不同的时间点分别发送主要信息块。当然也可以通过改变主要信息块的发送周期,譬如主要信息块以5ms或10ms为周期进行发送。
此外,由于主要信息块只需要发送系统帧号,因此主要信息块的发送时长可以设置为大于或等于1个符号(Symbol)所占用的时长,且小于或等于4个符号所占用的时长。
2、主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区只能够被所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的其它小区跨载波调度,且能跨载波调度与所述任一小区同属于一个基站的所有其它小区。
进一步地,主小区群组或主辅助小区群组内的小区不能被主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的小区跨载波调度。
3、通过所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的一个或多个小区来进行PDCCH和/或PUCCH发送内容的传输。
4、当用户设备在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的多个小区上均发送随机接入前导码时,若所述多个小区属于同一个时间提前量组,则仅在所述多个小区中的一个小区上发送随机接入响应。
5、在任一终端的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的所有小区的无线链路监测结果均为无线链路失败时,确定所述任一终端的主小区或主辅助小区的无线链路失败。
在本发明的一个实施例中,图1中所示的步骤S12具体包括:根据所述至少一个服务小区的RSRP/RSRQ由高到低的顺序和/或所述至少一个服务小区的信道占用率由低到高的顺序,选择RSRP/RSRQ大于或等于第一阈值和/或信道占用率小于或等于第二阈值的至少一个服务小区作为所述每个终端的主小区或主辅助小区。
该技术方案能够确保选择出通信环境较优的服务小区作为终端的主小区或主辅助小区,进而满足通信的时延和效率要求。其中,信道占用率即为Channel Occupancy Ratio,信道占用率是一个比值,分母为该载波上的功率抽样次数,分子为功率抽样值高于LBT 信道检测门限值的次数,即检测到信道被其它设备占用而自己无法使用的次数。
进一步地,所述的通信方法还包括:在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ小于或等于第三阈值和/或信道占用率大于或等于第四阈值时,从所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中去除所述任一小区。
在该技术方案中,当任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ小于或等于第三阈值和/或信道占用率大于或等于第四阈值时,说明该小区的通信环境变差,为了满足通信的时延和效率要求,可以将其从主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中去除。
进一步地,所述的通信方法还包括:在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的其它服务小区的RSRP/RSRQ比所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ高第五阈值,和/或在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的其它服务小区的信道占用率比所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的信道占用率低第六阈值时,通过所述其它服务小区替换所述任一小区。
在该技术方案中,通过使通信环境较优的其它服务小区替换通信环境较差的任一小区,可以保证主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的小区均是通信环境较优的小区,进而能够满足通信的时延和效率要求。
进一步地,所述的通信方法还包括:在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的其它服务小区的RSRP/RSRQ大于或等于第七阈值和/或所述其它服务小区的信道占用率小于或等于第八阈值,且所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ小于或等于第九阈值和/或所述任一小区的信道占用率大于或等于第十阈值时,通过所述其它服务小区替换所述任一小区。
在该技术方案中,同样地,通过使通信环境较优的其它服务小区替换通信环境较差的任一小区,可以保证主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的小区均是通信环境较优的小区,进而能够满足通信的时延和效率要求。
其中,所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中用于上行发送的小区和用于下行发送的小区相同或不同。
在图1所示的通信方法中,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此通过由主小区群组或主辅助小区群组来与每个终端进行通信,可以提高每个终端的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组上的信号发送概率,进而可以保证主小区群组或主辅助小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信息和数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
图2示出了根据本发明的第一个实施例的通信装置的示意框图。
如图2所示,根据本发明的第一个实施例的通信装置200,包括:配置单元202、选择单元204和通信控制单元206。
其中,配置单元202设置为向每个终端配置至少一个服务小区,每个所述服务小区工作在一个非授权载波上;选择单元204设置为从所述至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为所述每个终端的主小区或主辅助小区,以组成所述每个终端的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组;通信控制单元206设置为通过所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组与所述每个终端进行通信。
在该技术方案中,当从工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为每个终端的主小区,以组成每个终端的主小区群组,进而通过该主小区群组来与每个终端进行通信时,是非授权频段独立工作、且在非授权频段上部署主小区的通信场景,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此通过由主小区群组来与每个终端进行通信,可以提高每个终端的主小区群组上的信号发送概率,进而可以保证主小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信息和数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
当从工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为每个终端的主辅助小区,以组成每个终端的主辅助小区群组,进而通过该主辅助小区群组来与每个终端进行通信时,是在非授权频段和授权频段上进行双连接的通信场景,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此通过由主辅助小区群组来与每个终端进行通信,可以提高每个终端的主辅助小区群组上的信号发送概率,进而可以保证主辅助小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信息和数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
对于配置单元如何配置上述至少一个服务小区以及选择单元如何选择并组成每个终端的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组,本发明提出了如下三个方案:

方案二也适用于非授权频段和授权频段以双连接的方式进行通信的场景,即由工作在授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区来向每个终端在辅基站上配置主辅助服务小区,进而由主辅助服务小区向每个终端在辅基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,这0个或至少一个小区和主辅助服务小区共同组成了上述至少一个服务小区,然后由主辅助服务小区来选择并组成每个终端在辅基站上的主辅助小区群组。
进一步地,在所述主辅助服务小区为多个的情况下,向所述每个终端配置所述0个或至少一个小区的配置信令由所述主辅助服务小区中的一个或多个发送。其中,所述的配置信令可以是RRC信令。
方案三:
所述配置单元202具体设置为,通过工作在非授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区向所述每个终端在所述主基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,所述0个或至少一个小区和所述主服务小区组成所述至少一个服务小区;所述选择单元204具体设置为,通过所述主服务小区从所述至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为所述每个终端的主小区,以组成所述每个终端的主小区群组。
方案三适用于非授权频段独立工作,且在非授权频段上部署主小区的通信场景,即由非授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区向每个终端在主基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,这0个或至少一个小区和主服务小区共同组成了上述至少一个服务小区,然后由主服务小区来选择并组成每个终端的主小区群组。
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的所有小区均能够发送主要信息块。

进一步地,主小区群组或主辅助小区群组内的小区不能被主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的小区跨载波调度。
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述通信控制单元206具体设置为:通过所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的一个或多个小区来进行PDCCH和/或PUCCH发送内容的传输。

该技术方案能够确保选择出通信环境较优的服务小区作为终端的主小区或主辅助小区,进而满足通信的时延和效率要求。其中,信道占用率即为Channel Occupancy Ratio,信道占用率是一个比值,分母为该载波上的功率抽样次数,分子为功率抽样值高于LBT 信道检测门限值的次数,即检测到信道被其它设备占用而自己无法使用的次数。
如图3所示,根据本发明的第二个实施例的通信装置300,在具有图2中所示的配置单元202、选择单元204和通信控制单元206的基础上,还包括:第一群组管理单元302,设置为在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ小于或等于第三阈值和/或信道占用率大于或等于第四阈值时,从所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中去除所述任一小区。
在该技术方案中,当任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ小于或等于第三阈值和/或信道占用率大于或等于第四阈值时,说明该小区的通信环境变差,为了满足通信的时延和效率要求,可以将其从主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中去除。
如图4所示,根据本发明的第三个实施例的通信装置400,在具有图2中所示的配置单元202、选择单元204和通信控制单元206的基础上,还包括:第二群组管理单元402,设置为在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的其它服务小区的RSRP/RSRQ比所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ高第五阈值,和/或在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的其它服务小区的信道占用率比所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的信道占用率低第六阈值时,通过所述其它服务小区替换所述任一小区。
在该技术方案中,通过使通信环境较优的其它服务小区替换通信环境较差的任一小区,可以保证主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的小区均是通信环境较优的小区,进而能够满足通信的时延和效率要求。
如图5所示,根据本发明的第四个实施例的通信装置500,在具有图2中所示的配置单元202、选择单元204和通信控制单元206的基础上,还包括:第三群组管理单元502,设置为在所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组之外的其它服务小区的RSRP/RSRQ大于或等于第七阈值和/或所述其它服务小区的信道占用率小于或等于第八阈值,且所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的任一小区的RSRP/RSRQ小于或等于第九阈值和/或所述任一小区的信道占用率大于或等于第十阈值时,通过所述其它服务小区替换所述任一小区。
在该技术方案中,同样地,通过使通信环境较优的其它服务小区替换通信环境较差的任一小区,可以保证主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的小区均是通信环境较优的小区,进而能够满足通信的时延和效率要求。
其中,所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中用于上行发送的小区和用于下行发送的小区相同或不同。
在本发明的其它实施例中,通信装置在具有图2中所示的配置单元202、选择单元204和通信控制单元206的基础上,可以具有图3中所示的第一群组管理单元302、图4中所示的第二群组管理单元402和图5中所示的第三群组管理单元502中的全部或任意两个。
图6示出了根据本发明的第二个实施例的通信方法的示意流程图。
如图6所示,根据本发明的第二个实施例的通信方法,包括以下步骤:
步骤S60,终端确定工作在非授权载波上的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组,其中,所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组是从工作在非授权载波上的至少一个服务小区中进行选择而组成的,每个所述服务小区工作在一个非授权载波上。
其中,终端确定工作在非授权载波上的主辅助小区群组可以是通过接收授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区或非授权频段上的辅基站的主辅助小区发送的通知信令来确定的。
步骤S62,与所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的小区进行通信。
在该技术方案中,当从工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区中选择组成主小区群组时,是非授权频段独立工作、且在非授权频段上部署主小区的通信场景,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此终端通过与主小区群组中的小区进行通信,可以提高主小区群组与终端之间的信令或数据的发送概率,进而可以保证主小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信令或数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
当从工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区中选择组成主辅助小区群组时,是在非授权频段和授权频段上进行双连接的通信场景,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此终端通过与主辅助小区群组中的小区进行通信,可以提高主辅助小区群组与终端之间的信令或数据的发送概率,进而可以保证主辅助小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信令或数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
图7示出了根据本发明的第五个实施例的通信装置的示意框图。
如图7所示,根据本发明的第五个实施例的通信装置700,包括:确定单元702和通信单元704。
其中,确定单元702设置为确定工作在非授权载波上的主小区群组或主辅助小区群组,其中,所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组是从工作在非授权载波上的至少一个服务小区中进行选择而组成的,每个所述服务小区工作在一个非授权载波上;通信单元704设置为与所述主小区群组或主辅助小区群组中的小区进行通信。
在该技术方案中,当从工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区中选择组成主小区群组时,是非授权频段独立工作、且在非授权频段上部署主小区的通信场景,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此终端通过与主小区群组中的小区进行通信,可以提高主小区群组与终端之间的信令或数据的发送概率,进而可以保证主小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信令或数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
当从工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区中选择组成主辅助小区群组时,是在非授权频段和授权频段上进行双连接的通信场景,由于在非授权频段上不能连续占用信道,即存在信道检测机制,因此终端通过与主辅助小区群组中的小区进行通信,可以提高主辅助小区群组与终端之间的信令或数据的发送概率,进而可以保证主辅助小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信令或数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
其中,确定单元702确定工作在非授权载波上的主辅助小区群组可以是通过接收授权频段上的主基站的主服务小区或非授权频段上的辅基站的主辅助小区发送的通知信令来确定的。
综上,本发明的技术方案主要是通过工作在非授权频段上的主小区群组(PCell Group)或主辅助小区群组(PSCell Group)来提高信号发送概率,进而保证主小区群组或主辅助小区群组能够及时有效地发送和接收必要的信息和数据,满足了通信的时延和效率要求。
具体地,主要分为以下几个方面:
一、PCell Group或PSCell Group的配置。
1、PCell Group的配置:
工作在非授权频段上的主基站的PCell向每个终端在主基站上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个Cell,进而PCell从这0个或至少一个Cell中挑选出0个或至少一个,并与PCell一起组成每个终端的PCell Group。
其中,至少一个Cell中的每个Cell工作在一个非授权载波上,譬如在非授权载波1上配置了Cell#1,在非授权载波2上配置了Cell#2,在非授权载波3上配置了Cell#3……在非授权载波M上配置了Cell#M,进而PCell从中挑选出0个或至少一个Cell与PCell共同组成每个终端的PCell Group。PCell Group中的小区数量可以有一个上限值,如最大为2、3或其它值等。对于不同的用户来说,其PCell Group是独立的,即不同用户的PCell Group可以是一样的也可以是不一样的。
2、PSCell Group的配置,具体分为两种配置方案:
方案1:
工作在授权频段上的主基站(即MeNB)的PCell向每个终端在辅基站(即SeNB)上配置工作在非授权频段上的至少一个服务小区,进而PCell从该至少一个服务小区中选出至少一个作为每个终端在SeNB上的PSCell,以组成每个终端在辅基站上的PSCell Group。
其中,至少一个服务小区中的每个服务小区工作在一个非授权载波上,譬如在非授权载波1上配置了SCell#1,在非授权载波2上配置了SCell#2,在非授权载波3上配置了SCell#3……在非授权载波M上配置了SCell#M,进而PCell从中挑选出至少一个SCell组成每个终端的PSCell Group。PSCell Group中的小区数量可以有一个上限值,如最大为2、3或其它值等。对于不同的用户来说,其PSCell Group是独立的,即不同用户的PSCell Group可以是一样的也可以是不一样的。
方案2:
工作在授权频段上的主基站(即MeNB)的PCell向每个终端在辅基站(即SeNB)上配置工作在非授权频段上的PSCell,进而PSCell向每个终端在SeNB上配置工作在非授权频段上的0个或至少一个小区,进而PSCell从这0个或至少一个小区中挑选出0个或至少一个,并与PSCell一起组成每个终端的PSCell Group。
其中,至少一个小区中的每个小区工作在一个非授权载波上,譬如在非授权载波1上配置了SCell#1,在非授权载波2上配置了SCell#2,在非授权载波3上配置了SCell#3……在非授权载波M上配置了SCell#M,进而PSCell从中挑选出0个或至少一个SCell与PSCell共同组成每个终端的PSCell Group。PSCell Group中的小区数量可以有一个上限值,如最大为2、3或其它值等。对于不同的用户来说,其PSCell Group是独立的,即不同用户的PSCell Group可以是一样的也可以是不一样的。
3、选择PSCell Group中的PSCell的一种具体方式:
首先进行SCell的选择,以组成SCell Group,进而从SCell Group中进一步选择一个或多个作为PSCell,以构成PSCell Group。
其中,在进行SCell的选择时,可以采用LTE的Event A3、Event A4和Event A5等来选择。
譬如,在采用Event A3时,若邻小区的服务质量比当前服务小区的服务质量高时,将邻小区加入SCell Group;在采用Event A4时,若邻小区的服务质量高于一定门限值时,将邻小区加入SCell Group;在采用Event A5时,若服务小区的服务质量低于一个门限值,而邻小区的服务指令高于一个门限值时,将邻小区加入SCell Group。
4、PSCell Group内的PSCell的添加、去除和替换:
(1)PSCell的添加。
将所有的SCell进行降序排序,排序的准则为:RSRP/RSRQ由大到小和/或信道占用率由低到高的顺序。排在最前面的且满足预定条件的SCell依次选为PSCell#1、PSCell#2……,直到选择的PSCell到达最大数目或者所有的SCell选择完为止。其中,预定条件是指RSRP/RSRQ大于一个门限值,和/或信道占用率小于一个门限值。
(2)PSCell的去除。
当PSCell Group内的某个PSCell的RSRP/RSRQ小于某个门限值,和/或信道占用率大于一个门限值时,将该PSCell从PSCell Group内去除。
(3)PSCell的替换
方式一:若某个SCell的RSRP/RSRQ比PSCell Group内的一个PSCell的RSRP/RSRQ高一定值,和/或某个SCell的信道占用率比该PSCell的信道占用率低一定值,则通过该SCell替换该PSCell。
方式二:若某个SCell的RSRP/RSRQ高于门限值1,和/或信道占用率低于门限值2;且PSCell Group内的一个PSCell的RSRP/RSRQ低于门限值3,和/或信道占用率高于门限值4,则通过该SCell替换该PSCell。
5、PCell Group内的PCell的添加、去除和替换的方案类似于PSCell Group内的PSCell的添加、去除和替换的方案,不再赘述。
二、PCell Group或PSCell Group的功能。
1、MIB的发送:
PCell Group里所有的PCell都要发送MIB。
类似地,PSCell Group里所有的PSCell都要发送MIB。
2、跨载波调度功能:
PCell Group里所有的PCell不能被PCell Group以外的小区跨载波调度,但是可以被PCell Group内的小区跨载波调度。如果多个PCell检测到信道空闲,且需要发送跨载波调度信令,则由编号小的PCell发送。其中,编号小的PCell表示的是RSRP/RSRQ最大和/或信道占用率最低的PCell。
类似地,PSCell Group里所有的PSCell不能被PSCell Group以外的SCell跨载波调度,但是可以被PSCell Group内的PSCell跨载波调度。如果多个PSCell检测信道空闲,且需要发送跨载波调度信令,则由编号小的PSCell发送。其中,编号小的PSCell表示的是RSRP/RSRQ最大和/或信道占用率最低的PSCell。
3、PUCCH/PDCCH承载信息的发送:
PCell Group里所有的PCell上都可以发送PUCCH/PDCCH承载的信息,但是相同的PUCCH/PDCCH内容,在同一时间可以只在其中一个PCell上发送,具体由哪个PCell发送是动态配置或由LBT(Listen Before Talk,先听后说)信道检测结果进行确定的。
类似地,PSCell Group里所有的PSCell上都可以发送PUCCH/PDCCH承载的信息,但是相同的PUCCH/PDCCH内容,在同一时间可以只在其中一个PSCell上发送,具体由哪个PSCell发送是动态配置或由LBT信道检测结果和信道条件进行确定的。
4、随机接入过程的控制:
用户设备可以在PCell Group里所有的PCell上发送随机接入前导码。若PCell Group内的多个PCell的PRACH(Physical Random Access Channel,物理随机接入信道)信道检测空闲,则用户设备可以在多个PCell上发送RA preamble;但是若这些PCell属于同一个TAG,则可以仅在一个PCell上发送RA response。
类似地,用户设备可以在PSCell Group里所有的PSCell上发送随机接入前导码。若PSCell Group内的多个PSCell的PRACH信道检测空闲,则用户设备可以在多个PSCell上发送RA preamble;但是若这些PSCell属于同一个TAG,则可以仅在一个PSCell上发送RA response。
5、无线链路检测(RLM):
在PCell Group里的所有PCell都被检测为RLF时,UE才能判定PCell为RLF,进而会执行RRC-reestablishment过程。
而在PSCell Group里的所有PSCell都被检测为RLF时,UE才能判定PSCell为RLF,进而会向工作在授权频段上的主基站的PCell发送无线链路失败报告。
