Description

Measurement configuration method, device, user equipment and base station

Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a measurement configuration method, apparatus, user equipment, and base station.

Background technique

In a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, each user equipment (User Equipment, UE for short) can be configured with multiple measurement configurations. Each measurement configuration can include one measurement identifier (identity, referred to as ID). ), a measurement object and a measurement report configuration. A measurement object contains a measurement frequency point, which can be a service frequency point or a non-service frequency point.

In the related art, for a measurement configuration, if the measurement object is not a service frequency point, the UE may report the signal quality of the N cells with the strongest cell signal quality at the frequency point (in the LTE, the system agrees that the value of N is 8). At the same time, if the neighboring cell reporting the service frequency is configured in the measurement configuration, the UE can report the signal quality of the neighboring cell with the strongest signal of each service frequency. In the related art, the UE only reports the signal quality of the cell according to the cell signal strength, which may result in the reported cells being not suitable cells that the UE can access, and thus the base station is difficult to perform cell handover or cell addition based on the measurement result reported by the UE. In the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5th Generation, 5G for short), the cell density is higher, and the number of cells that the UE can identify and measure is more, and the related technology is more likely to cause the problem of only reporting the signal quality of the non-suitable cell.

The following description refers to the same or similar elements in the different figures unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

In the technical solution provided by the present disclosure, whether the cell is a suitable cell may be determined based on a preset determination rule, and the determination rule includes one or more of the following rules: not a forbidden cell or an operator reserved cell; Forbidden area) (no communication with the network); not a non-allowed area (not allowed to communicate with the network); the public land mobile network (PLMN) of the cell belongs to the registered PLMN or The closed subscriber group (CSG) of the cell is a CSG member of the UE; the signal quality of the cell is greater than a certain threshold. The base station may send a determination rule of the appropriate cell to the user equipment, so that the user equipment determines which cells are suitable cells based on the determination rule.

1A is a flowchart of a measurement configuration method according to an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 1B is an application scenario diagram of a measurement configuration method according to an exemplary embodiment. The measurement configuration method may be applied to a base station. As shown in FIG. 1A, the measurement configuration method includes the following steps 101-102:

In step 101, measurement configuration signaling is generated, and the configuration signaling carries configuration information indicating that the user equipment reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell.

In an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate that the user equipment only reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the serving cell. In an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate that the user equipment only reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the neighboring cell. In an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate that the user equipment only reports the cell signal quality of the serving cell and a suitable cell in the neighboring cell. In an embodiment, the configuration information may also indicate that the triggering event of the user equipment to send the measurement report is triggered only by the appropriate cell, that is, the cell signal quality of the inappropriate cell cannot trigger the user equipment to send the measurement report even if the reporting condition is reached.

In an embodiment, the configuration information may be used by the user equipment to report the cell signal quality of the at least one suitable cell in the serving cell. In an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate that the user equipment reports the cell of the at least one suitable cell in the neighboring cell. Signal quality; in an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate that the user equipment reports the cell signal quality of at least one suitable cell in the serving cell and the neighboring cell. In an embodiment, the base station may further indicate, by using the configuration information, that the user equipment reports the maximum number of cell signal qualities of the suitable cell, for example, the configuration information. The information indicates that the user reports the cell signal quality of at least one suitable cell and up to 5 suitable cells.

In an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate that the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the serving cell of the user equipment is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-suitable cell; in an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate The reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the appropriate cell in the neighboring cell of the user equipment is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell; in an embodiment, the configuration information may indicate that the user equipment is in the serving cell and the neighboring cell. The reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell. In an embodiment, the reporting priority of the suitable cell is higher than the reporting priority of the non-appropriate cell, which may be understood as indicating that the UE preferentially reports the signal quality of the suitable cell when performing measurement reporting on the frequency corresponding to the measurement configuration, if the detection is performed. If the number of suitable cells does not reach the maximum number of reports, the signal quality may be selected from the unsuitable cells from high to low until the maximum number of reports is reached.

In an embodiment, when the configuration information may indicate that the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the user equipment serving cell and/or the neighboring cell is higher than the first intensity threshold, the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is higher than the inappropriate The reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the cell, for example, if the cell signal quality of the appropriate cell is higher than -75 dB, it can be reported preferentially.

In an embodiment, the configuration information indicating that the user equipment reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell indicates the difference between the signal quality of the cell with the strongest user equipment signal and the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the serving cell and/or the neighboring cell. When the second strength threshold is smaller, the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell.

In step 102, measurement configuration signaling is sent.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in FIG. 1B, the base station 10, the UE 20, wherein the base station may carry configuration information indicating that the user equipment 20 reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the sent measurement configuration signaling, and the UE 20 receives the configuration information. When the measurement configuration signaling sent by the base station 10 is met, the measurement report of the cell signal quality of the appropriate cell is reported when the measurement report reporting condition is met, so that the base station 10 can implement cell handover or cell addition based on the measurement report reported by the UE.

In this embodiment, the foregoing step 101-step 102 may be used to indicate that the user equipment reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell, and the UE may report only the cell signal quality of the non-suitable cell when reporting the cell signal quality in the related art. It is difficult for the base station to perform the problem of cell handover or cell addition based on the measurement report reported by the UE.

In this embodiment, the configuration information indicates that the user equipment only reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell, The user equipment is configured to report only the suitable cell that satisfies the reporting condition based on the measurement configuration signaling, and does not report the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell, so as to implement the cell signal quality of the highest number of suitable cells, and improve the measurement of the base station based on the user equipment. Reports the success rate of performing cell handover or cell addition.

In this embodiment, the configuration information indicates that the user equipment triggering event is triggered by the appropriate cell, and the number of suitable cells carried in the reported measurement report caused by the non-suitable cell meeting the triggering condition but the suitable cell does not meet the reporting condition may be avoided. Less, the problem of poor validity of the information in the measurement report.

In this embodiment, the configuration information is used to indicate that the user equipment reports the cell signal quality of the at least one suitable cell, so that the UE can report only the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell when reporting the cell signal quality in the related art, and the base station is difficult to report based on the UE. The measurement report performs a problem of cell handover or cell addition.

In this embodiment, the configuration information is used to indicate that the user equipment reports the maximum number of suitable cells, and the number of suitable cells reported by the user equipment in the measurement report may be indicated, thereby determining that the cell signal quality in the measurement report can be the most reference value.

In this embodiment, it is disclosed that the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-suitable cell, and the user equipment can preferentially report the cell signal quality of the suitable cell when transmitting the measurement report.

In this embodiment, when the configuration information indicates that the cell signal quality of the user equipment in the appropriate cell is higher than the first strength threshold, the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell. It is avoided that the appropriate cell is preferentially reported when the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is not good, and the non-appropriate cell with very strong cell signal quality is ranked later, which is disadvantageous for the base station to determine the signal quality of one frequency point.

In an embodiment, the configuration information indicates a signal quality of the cell with the strongest user equipment signal and the serving cell When the difference between the cell signal quality of the appropriate cell in the neighboring cell is smaller than the second intensity threshold, the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell.

In this embodiment, the cell signal of the suitable cell is indicated by the configuration information when the difference between the cell signal quality of the suitable cell and the cell signal quality of the serving cell and/or the suitable cell in the neighboring cell is less than the second intensity threshold. The quality reporting priority is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell, and the priority cell is not preferentially reported when the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is not good, and the non-suitable cell with the cell signal quality is very strong. It is not conducive to the base station to determine the signal quality of a frequency point.

In an embodiment, the measurement configuration method may further include:

In this embodiment, the base station can determine whether the currently measured cell is a suitable cell or a non-suitable cell by sending a determination rule of the appropriate cell to the user equipment, thereby implementing generation and reporting of the measurement report.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described below by using specific embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another measurement configuration method according to an exemplary embodiment. This embodiment uses an example of the foregoing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure to perform the measurement configuration by the user equipment and the UE as an example. As shown in Figure 2, the following steps are included:

In step 201, the base station generates measurement configuration signaling.

In an embodiment, the measurement configuration signaling carries configuration information indicating that the user equipment reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell.

In an embodiment, the description of step 201 and step 202 can be referred to the description of step 101 and step 102 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, and details are not described herein.

In step 203, the user equipment determines, according to the measurement configuration signaling, that the reporting cell condition is currently met, and determines the reporting cell to report the cell signal quality.

In an embodiment, the user equipment may determine whether the reporting of the measurement report is a periodic report or an event type report based on the measurement configuration signaling. If the event type report is performed, the user equipment may further analyze and determine, in the measurement configuration signaling, that the measurement report can be triggered. The cell, for example, if the triggering event is triggered by the appropriate cell in the measurement configuration signaling, the signal quality of the cell in the appropriate cell reaches the condition that the measurement report is triggered, and the current measurement report condition is determined. If the triggering event in the command can be triggered by any cell, the condition that the signal quality of the cell reaches the condition that the measurement report is triggered is determined, and the current measurement report condition is determined.

In an embodiment, the configuration information carried in the measurement configuration signaling indicates that the user equipment reports the configuration information of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell, and the user equipment may determine, according to the number, priority, etc., of reporting the appropriate cell based on the configuration information indication. For the reporting cell to report the signal quality of the cell, the process of determining the reporting cell and transmitting the measurement report for different configuration information may be respectively referred to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, which will not be described in detail herein.

In step 204, the user equipment generates a measurement report based on the cell signal quality of the cell to which the cell signal quality is to be reported.

In step 205, the user equipment sends a measurement report to the base station.

In this embodiment, the base station may carry configuration information indicating that the user reports the cell signal quality of the appropriate cell in the measurement configuration signaling, so that when the user equipment receives the measurement configuration signaling, the user equipment may determine the number of suitable cells to report and based on the configuration information. The priority is to avoid the problem that the UE may report the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell when reporting the cell signal quality in the related art, and the base station may be difficult to perform the cell handover or the cell addition based on the measurement report reported by the UE.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a measurement configuration method according to an exemplary embodiment. The measurement configuration method may be applied to a user equipment. As shown in FIG. 3, the measurement configuration method includes the following steps 301-303:

In step 301, when the measurement report condition is met, the reporting cell that indicates the cell signal quality of the cell to be reported is determined based on the configuration information indicating that the user equipment reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the measurement configuration signaling sent by the base station.

When reporting the cell signal quality, only the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell is reported, which makes it difficult for the base station to perform cell handover or cell addition based on the measurement report reported by the UE.

If the configuration information indicates that the user equipment only reports the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the serving cell and/or the neighboring cell, and does not report the cell signal quality of the non-suitable cell, the signal quality is determined from the serving cell and/or the neighboring cell.

For a cell, a suitable cell with a signal receiving power of -80 dB can be used as an reporting cell, and cells satisfying the reporting condition are selected according to signal quality from other cells.

If the number of suitable cells in the cell that meets the reporting condition exceeds the maximum number, the largest number of cells with the best signal quality are selected from the appropriate cells as the reporting cell, and multiple unsuitable cells are selected as the reporting from the cells that meet the reporting conditions. A cell, where the number of reported cells does not exceed the maximum number of reports.

In this embodiment, when the base station indicates, by using the configuration information, that the user equipment reports the maximum number of suitable cells, the user equipment may sort the cells according to the signal quality of all the cells, and if the number of suitable cells in all the cells that meet the reporting condition exceeds the maximum For the number, the cell with the highest number of signal quality is selected as the reporting cell from the suitable cell, and a plurality of non-appropriate cells are selected as the reporting cell from the cells satisfying the reporting condition, thereby ensuring the best cell signal quality in the measurement report. With reference value.

In this embodiment, the base station indicates that the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the appropriate cell is higher than the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the non-suitable cell, and the user equipment can preferentially report the cell of the suitable cell when transmitting the measurement report. Signal quality.

If the configuration information indicates that the cell signal quality of the suitable cell in the user equipment serving cell and/or the neighboring cell is higher than the first strength threshold, the reporting priority of the cell signal quality of the suitable cell is higher than the cell signal quality of the non-appropriate cell.
