在现有的无线通信系统中,终端与基站建立了通信连接后,终端进入连接(Connected)态,为了使终端获得最佳的通信质量,基站需要对终端进行测量配置。终端根据基站的测量配置对服务小区的邻区进行测量,得到邻区测量结果,并向基站上报测量结果,服务小区是为终端提供通信服务的小区。测量上报方式包括周期测量上报和事件触发上报。对于周期测量上报,基站为终端配置上报周期和上报次数,终端周期性地向基站上报邻区测量结果;对于事件触发上报,基站为终端配置测量事件,如果邻区的测量结果满足测量事件上报条件,则终端向基站上报相应的测量事件。示例的,终端更新已触发该事件的已触发上报邻区列表,按照邻区的信号强度从大到小的顺序从已触发上报邻区列表中筛选出L个邻区,向基站发送L个邻区中的每个邻区的测量结果。但是,若终端测量到多个邻区的测量结果都能满足测量事件上报条件,则每当一个新小区的测量结果满足测量事件上报条件,终端都需要向基站上报该小区的测量结果,从而导致了终端需要频繁上报,浪费信令资源。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种测量上报方法及装置,解决了在终端测量到多个邻区的测量结果满足测量事件上报条件的情况下,终端上报多个邻区的测量结果导致信令资源浪费的问题。
为解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供如下技术方案:
本申请实施例的第一方面,提供一种测量上报方法,包括:终端接收到网络设备发送的测量配置信息后,对邻区进行测量,并根据测量配置信息向网络设备上报测量报告,其中,测量配置信息中的上报配置部分,用于指示终端上报邻区测量结果,测量配置信息包含定时器配置信息、高度配置信息以及速度配置信息中的至少一个,测量报告包含至少一个邻区的测量结果,至少一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,第一条件为一个测量标识(identification,ID)的相应测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件;或进一步约束为至少一个邻区的测量结果是经过层三滤波的测量结果,在迟滞时间范围内连续满足测量事件进入条件或离开条件,以上两种情况在本申请实施例中统称为测量结果满足的第一条件。本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法,在终端测量到多个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,需要针对每个邻区的测量结果都要向网络设备上报一个测量报告的情况下,终端可以根据定时器配置信息、高度配置信息和速度配置信息的任意组合来调整终端向网络设备上报测量报告的次数,从而,有效地减少了终端频繁上报多个邻区的测量结果所需的信令资源。
结合第一方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,测量配置信息包括定时器配置信息时,终端对邻区进行测量,并根据测量配置信息向网络设备上报测量报告,具体包括:对 应一个测量ID,当有邻区的测量结果满足第一条件时,启动该定时器,终端确定在定时器运行状态中,测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量达到第一阈值N,则终端停止该定时器,并向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包含N个邻区的测量结果,N为正整数,从而,终端在定时器的运行时段内,获取到N个邻区的测量结果后,才向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,此时,终端只需要一条信令向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,而对于现有技术需要N条信令向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法通过减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果所需的信令的个数来有效地减少信令资源浪费;或者,终端根据定时器时长确定定时器超时,则终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包含定时器运行状态中测量结果满足第一条件的至少一个邻区,从而,在定时器超时后,无论终端获取到多少个邻区的测量结果,都向网络设备上报获取到的邻区的测量结果,避免终端长时间的等待获取N个邻区的测量结果而导致的上报时延。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例所述的定时器是根据定时器配置信息配置的,定时器配置信息包括定时器时长,即定时器的运行时间长度,而第一阈值N为终端在进行测量上报之前预先配置的,该第一阈值N可以在协议中规定即预先定义,或者,也可以由网络设备通过测量配置信息或其他信令为终端配置该第一阈值N。
为了通过定时器达到减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的长时间延迟,结合上述可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端对邻区进行测量,具体包括:终端确定有一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件时,启动定时器。需要说明的是,定时器启动时机、定时器超时条件和定时器停止条件也可以在终端进行测量上报之前预先配置(即在协议中规定),无需网络设备通过信令为终端配置,但是,也不排除可以由网络设备通过测量配置信息或其他信令为终端配置,例如,可以将定时器启动时机、定时器超时条件和定时器停止条件包括在定时器配置信息中为终端配置,也可以通过网络设备向终端发送的其他信令为终端配置。
另外,定时器配置信息和/或第一阈值N可以是针对测量配置信息中的测量标识配置的,即一个测量频率和一个测量事件的组合对应一个定时器配置信息和/或第一阈值N;或者,定时器配置信息和/或第一阈值N可以是针对测量配置信息中的测量对象标识配置的,即同一个频率的不同事件对应一个定时器配置信息和/或第一阈值N;或者,定时器配置信息和/或第一阈值N可以是针对测量配置信息中的上报配置标识配置的,即同一个事件的不同频率对应一个定时器配置信息和/或第一阈值N;或者,定时器配置信息和/或第一阈值N可以是针对终端配置的,即对于一个终端,所有的测量事件上报共享一个定时器和/或第一阈值N。
结合第一方面,在另一种可能的实现方式中,测量配置信息包含高度配置信息时,终端对邻区进行测量,并根据测量配置信息向网络设备上报测量报告,具体包括:终端确定终端的高度值,并根据高度值确定第一触发上报迟滞值;终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值时,终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果,第一邻区的测量结果可以理解为终端测量到的任意一个邻区的测量结果。从而,终端通过自身的当前高度来确定第一触发上报迟滞值,当终端确定通过测量获取到的第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到 第一触发上报迟滞值时,才向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果,由于不同高度采用不同的迟滞值,当终端高度较高时,可以设置更大的迟滞值,此时,终端延迟了上报第一邻区的测量结果的时机,而对于现有技术对于不同的高度只使用一个迟滞值,本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法通过对于不同终端高度设置不同的迟滞值延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
为了通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机来有效地减少信令资源浪费,示例的,终端根据终端的高度值确定第一触发上报迟滞值可以采用以下实现方式:
结合上述可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,高度配置信息包括高度信息以及与高度信息对应的触发上报迟滞值,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围分别对应一个触发上报迟滞值,终端确定终端的高度值,并根据高度值确定第一触发上报迟滞值,具体包括:终端确定终端的高度值属于多个高度值范围中的第一高度值范围,第一高度值范围对应于第一触发上报迟滞值。从而,终端可以根据自身的当前高度,从多个高度值范围中确定出第一高度值范围,进一步地将第一高度值范围对应的第一触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
结合上述可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,高度配置信息包括高度信息、第二触发上报迟滞值以及与高度信息对应的调整因子,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围中的至少一个高度值范围分别对应一个调整因子,终端确定终端的高度值,并根据高度值确定第一触发上报迟滞值,具体包括:终端确定高度值属于多个高度值范围中的第一高度值范围,第一高度值范围对应于第一调整因子,并根据第一调整因子和第二触发上报迟滞值确定第一触发上报迟滞值,从而,终端可以根据自身的当前高度,从多个高度值范围中确定出第一高度值范围,进一步地利用第一高度值范围对应的第一调整因子调整第二触发上报迟滞值,得到第一触发上报迟滞值,将第一触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费;或者,终端确定高度值属于多个高度值范围中的第二高度值范围,第二高度值范围对应于第二触发上报迟滞值,第一触发上报迟滞值等于第二触发上报迟滞值,从而,终端直接将第二基准触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第二触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
结合第一方面,在另一种可能的实现方式中,测量配置信息包含速度配置信息时,终端对邻区进行测量,并根据测量配置信息向网络设备上报测量报告,具体包括:终端根据波束改变情况确定终端的移动速度,并根据移动速度确定第三触发上报迟滞值; 终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值时,终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果。从而,终端通过波束的改变情况确定自身的当前移动速度,进一步根据终端的移动速度来确定第三触发上报迟滞值,当终端确定通过测量获取到的第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值时,才向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果,此时,终端延迟了上报第一邻区的测量结果的时机,而对于现有技术只通过小区改变次数估计终端的移动速度的方法,本申请实施例通过波束改变次数估计速度情况能作为现有方法的有效补充,例如,取两种方式中估计得到的速度最大值或最高等级的方式确定重点速度。所述的测量上报方法通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
为了通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机来有效地减少信令资源浪费,示例的,终端根据终端的移动速度确定第三触发上报迟滞值可以采用以下实现方式:
结合上述可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端根据波束改变确定终端的移动速度,包括:终端根据一定时间内波束改变次数,确定终端的移动速度。在基于波束通信的场景下,终端在移动过程中终端使用的波束是在变化的,而服务小区可能是保持不变的,原有的基于小区变化的速度估计方法可能无法使用,而通过波束改变情况估计移动速度是可行的。
结合上述可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,速度配置信息包含速度信息、第四触发上报迟滞值以及与速度信息对应的调整因子,速度信息包含多个速度范围,多个速度范围中的至少一个速度范围分别对应一个调整因子,终端根据波束改变确定终端的移动速度,并根据移动速度确定第三触发上报迟滞值,具体包括:终端确定移动速度属于多个速度范围中的第一速度范围,第一速度范围对应于第二调整因子,并根据第二调整因子和第四触发上报迟滞值确定第三触发上报迟滞值,从而,终端可以根据自身的移动速度,从多个速度范围中确定出第一速度范围,进一步地利用第一速度范围对应的第二调整因子调整第四触发上报迟滞值,得到第三触发上报迟滞值,将第三触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费;或者,终端确定移动速度属于多个速度范围中的第二速度范围,第二速度范围对应于第四触发上报迟滞值,第三触发上报迟滞值等于第四触发上报迟滞值,从而,终端直接将第四触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第四触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
结合第一方面,在另一种可能的实现方式中,包括:测量配置信息包括第一周期,终端向网络设备上报测量报告,具体包括:终端根据第一周期向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告还包括至少一个触发测量事件上报的小区信息,或者,至少一个触发测量事件上报的小区信息以及对应的触发时长,触发时长为终端测量到的邻区的测量结果已经满足第一条件的连续时长。从而,终端通过周期性地上报邻区的测量事件信息, 间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
需要说明的是,在现有技术中,终端获取到邻区测量结果后,如果邻区满足某测量ID的测量事件进入条件,需要将邻区的测量结果先存储到该测量ID此测量事件的已触发上报邻区列表中,终端向网络设备上报邻区测量结果前,需要对已触发上报邻区列表中的邻区测量结果进行排序,然后,从已触发上报邻区列表中按照从大到小的顺序获取n个邻区的测量结果,向网络设备上报n个邻区的测量结果,但是,如果终端当前获取到的邻区测量结果小于已触发上报邻区列表中前n个邻区的测量结果,那么终端向网络设备上报的n个邻区的测量结果就不包含当前获取到的邻区测量结果。为了克服上述问题,本申请实施例提供了以下实现方式:
结合上述可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端向网络设备上报测量报告之前,方法还包括:终端将i个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,其中,i表示终端当前需要触发上报测量结果的邻区数量,i为小于n的正整数,n表示预设的上报测量结果的最大邻区数量,从而,终端无需对i个邻区的测量结果与已触发上报邻区列表中包括的邻区测量结果进行排序,而是将i个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,使得网络设备能够获知终端获取到的i个邻区的测量结果;或者,终端将n+j个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,其中,n+j表示终端当前需要上报测量结果的邻区数量,n表示预设的上报测量结果的最大邻区数量,j为正整数,从而,终端将测量报告包括的邻区测量结果的最大个数调整为n+j,将j个触发此次上报的邻区测量结果包含在测量报告中,使得网络设备能够获知终端获取到的j个邻区的测量结果。
本申请实施例的第二方面,提供一种测量上报方法,包括:网络设备向终端发送测量配置信息,测量配置信息用于终端上报邻区测量结果,测量配置信息包含定时器配置信息、高度配置信息以及速度配置信息中的至少一个;网络设备接收终端上报的测量报告,测量报告包括至少一个邻区的测量结果,至少一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,第一条件为测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件。本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法,网络设备为终端配置测量配置信息,使得在终端测量到多个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,需要针对每个邻区的测量结果都要向网络设备上报一个测量报告的情况下,终端可以根据定时器配置信息、高度配置信息和速度配置信息的任意组合来调整终端向网络设备上报测量报告的次数,从而,有效地减少了终端上报多个邻区的测量结果所需的信令资源。
结合第一方面,在另一种可能的实现方式中,定时器配置信息包括定时器时长,测量配置信息还包括第一阈值N,第一阈值N是预先定义的或由所述网络设备指示,从而,终端在定时器的运行时段内,获取到N个邻区的测量结果后,才向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,此时,终端只需要一条信令向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,而对于现有技术需要N条信令向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法通过减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果所需的信令的个数来有效地减少信令资源浪费;在定时器超时后,无论终端获取到多少个邻区的测量结果,都向网络设备上报获取到的邻区测量结果,避免终端长时间的等待获取N个邻区的测量结果而导致的上报时延。
结合第一方面,在另一种可能的实现方式中,高度配置信息包括高度信息以及与 高度信息对应的触发上报迟滞值,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围分别对应一个触发上报迟滞值,从而,终端可以根据自身的当前高度,从多个高度值范围中确定出第一高度值范围,进一步地将第一高度值范围对应的第一触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。或者,
高度配置信息包括高度信息、第一触发上报迟滞值以及与高度信息对应的调整因子,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围中的至少一个高度值范围分别对应一个调整因子,从而,终端可以根据自身的当前高度,从多个高度值范围中确定出第一高度值范围,进一步地利用第一高度值范围对应的第一调整因子调整第二触发上报迟滞值,得到第一触发上报迟滞值,将第一触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费;或者,终端直接将第二基准触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第二触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
结合第一方面,在另一种可能的实现方式中,速度配置信息包含速度信息、第二触发上报迟滞值以及与速度信息对应的调整因子,速度信息包含多个速度范围,多个速度范围中的至少一个速度范围分别对应一个调整因子,从而,终端可以根据自身的移动速度,从多个速度范围中确定出第一速度范围,进一步地利用第一速度范围对应的第二调整因子调整第四触发上报迟滞值,得到第三触发上报迟滞值,将第三触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费;或者,终端直接将第四触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第四触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。

具体实施方式
目前,在无线通信技术的通信协议中规定,终端与基站建立了通信连接进入连接态后,基站需要为终端进行测量配置,使终端根据测量配置对邻区进行测量,获得邻区的测量结果,为网络无线资源配置提供参考,例如,在邻区的测量结果优于终端的服务小区的情况下,可以使终端切换到邻区,让邻区为终端提供通信服务。其中,无线通信技术可以是第二代无线通信技术(the second Generation Telecommunication,2G)、第三代无线通信技术(the third Generation Telecommunication,3G)或第四代无线通信技术(the fourth Generation Telecommunication,4G)。
如图1所示,基站为终端进行测量配置的过程,其中,基站先通过无线资源控制连接重配置(Radio Resource Control Connection Reconfiguration,RRC Connection Reconfiguration)消息携带的测量配置(measConfig)信元将测量配置信息通知给终端,终端可以维护一个测量配置数据库(VarMeasConfig),将终端接收到的测量配置信息存储到测量配置数据库中,测量配置信息包括测量标识(measId)、测量对象标识(measObjectId),上报配置标识(reportConfigId)和具体的配置信息内容,配置信息内容包括测量对象(measObject)信息和上报配置(reportConfig)信息。其中,测量标识是测量配置数据库中测量配置条目的索引,一个测量标识对应一个测量对象和一个上报配置,或多个测量标识可以对应多个测量对象和一个上报配置,即多个测量标识中每个测量标识对应的测量对象不同但对应的上报配置相同,或多个测量标识可以对应一个测量对象和多个上报配置,即多个测量标识中每个测量标识对应的测量对象相同但对应的上报配置不同。测量对象标识对应一个测量对象配置项,测量对象配置项可以包括需要测量的测量频率、测量带宽、频率相关偏移量、小区列表和小区黑名单等。上报配置标识对应一个测量报告配置项,测量报告配置项可以包括需要测量的事件以及相关事件的参数和/或周期性上报的周期等。然后,终端根据测量配置信息配置完成后,向基站发送无线资源控制连接重配置完成(Radio Resource Control  Connection Reconfiguration Complete,RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete)消息,通知基站终端根据测量配置信息配置完成。当无线环境改变时,基站再向终端发送新的测量配置信息,向终端通知新的测量配置信息。
需要说明的是,目前终端的高度通常都是低于基站的高度,由于建筑物遮挡等原因终端能够测量到的邻区个数较少,通常小于8,但是,随着通信技术的不断发展,终端的高度有可能高于基站的高度,例如,如果蜂窝通信网络能够支持无人机,则无人机的数据可以实现超视距的远距离传输,帮助无人机进行远距离飞行。同时无人机采集的照片或视频等信息也可以实时高速回传,从而极大地促进无人机产业发展。这样,若无人机的飞行高度超过基站的高度,受建筑物遮挡等的原因减少,无人机能够“看到”多达几十个周围基站,无人机可以测量到多个邻区的测量结果,那么,在现有的测量上报机制下,对于事件触发上报,大量的邻区会引起频繁上报问题和需要上报的邻区的测量结果可能不会包含在上报的测量报告内的问题。
为了解决在终端测量到多个邻区的测量结果满足测量事件上报条件的情况下,终端上报多个邻区的测量结果导致信令资源浪费的问题,本申请实施例提供一种测量上报方法,其基本原理是:首先,网络设备向终端发送测量配置信息,终端接收到网络设备发送的测量配置信息后,对邻区进行测量,并根据测量配置信息向网络设备上报测量报告,网络设备接收终端上报的测量报告;其中,测量配置信息包含定时器配置信息、高度配置信息以及速度配置信息中的至少一个,可选的,以上信息包含在上报配置中。测量报告包含至少一个邻区的测量结果,至少一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,第一条件为测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件,或进一步约束为,至少一个邻区经过层三滤波的测量结果在迟滞时间范围内连续满足测量事件进入条件或离开条件,以上两种情况在本申请实施例中统称为测量结果满足第一条件。本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法,在终端测量到多个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,需要针对每个邻区的测量结果都要向网络设备上报一个测量报告的情况下,终端可以根据定时器配置信息、高度配置信息和速度配置信息的任意组合来调整终端向网络设备上报测量报告的次数,从而,有效地减少了终端频繁上报多个邻区的测量结果所需的信令资源。
下面将结合附图对本申请实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。
图2示出的是可以应用本申请实施例的系统架构的简化示意图。如图2所示,该系统架构可以包括:终端11和网络设备12。终端通过无线通信技术与网络设备进行通信。
其中,终端11可以是无线终端,无线终端可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,或具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。无线终端可以经无线接入网(如,Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网或者互联网进行通信,无线终端可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、计算机和数据卡,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如,个人通信业务(Personal Communication Service,PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(SIP)话机、无线本地环路(WLL,Wireless Local Loop)站、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)等设备。无线终端也可以称为系统、订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、 订户站(Subscriber Station),移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、接入点(Access Point)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户终端(User Terminal)、用户代理(User Agent)、用户站(Subscriber Station,SS)、用户端设备(Customer Premises Equipment,CPE)、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)等。作为一种实施例,图2中所示的终端可以为无人机。

需要说明的是,本申请实施例所述的终端根据测量配置信息对邻区进行测量,测量的内容不仅仅局限于终端测量邻区的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP),还适用于终端测量邻区的参考信号接收质量(Reference Singnal Received Quality,RSRQ)和信干噪比(Signal Interference Noise Ratio,SINR)等其他的所有评估信号的方式,因此,测量结果不仅可以是RSRP还可以是RSRQ和SINR,本申请实施例对测量结果的具体内容不做限定,可以是评估信号的任意方式。另外,本申请实施例所述的测量事件可以是3G系统、4G系统和5G系统中规定的任何事件,本申请实施例对终端向网络设备上报的具体测量事件不作限定,示例的,现有的测量事件可以包括以下几种:事件A3表示同频/异频邻区质量相比服务小区质量高出一定 门限,当满足事件触发条件的小区信息被上报时,源基站启动同频/异频切换请求。事件A4表示异频邻区质量高于一定门限,满足事件触发条件的小区信息被上报时,源基站启动异频切换请求。事件A5表示服务小区质量低于一定门限,同时异频邻区质量高于一定门限,满足事件触发条件的小区信息被上报时,源基站启动异频切换请求。事件B1表示异系统邻区质量高于一定门限,满足事件触发条件的小区信息被上报时,源基站启动异系统切换请求。事件B2表示服务小区质量低于一定门限,同时异系统邻区质量高于一定门限,满足事件触发条件的小区信息被上报时,源基站启动异系统切换请求。
终端向网络设备上报的所有测量事件的过程可以参考本申请实施例任意所述的测量上报方法。图8为本申请实施例提供的一种测量上报方法流程图,如图8所示,该方法可以包括:
401、网络设备确定测量配置信息。
测量配置信息用于终端上报邻区测量结果,测量配置信息包含了定时器配置信息、高度配置信息以及速度配置信息中的至少一个。
可选的,测量配置信息还用于指示终端进行邻区测量。其中,测量配置信息不仅包括用于终端上报邻区测量结果的上报配置标识,还包括用于终端对邻区进行测量的测量对象标识,以及和具体的配置信息内容。配置信息内容包括测量对象信息和上报配置信息。测量对象标识对应一个测量对象配置项,即网络设备在此项中配置了终端需要测量的对象,还可以包括需要测量的频率、测量带宽、频率相关偏移量、小区列表和小区黑名单等,终端根据测量配置信息中的测量对象信息进行邻区测量。
其中,定时器配置信息可以包括定时器时长。定时器的启动条件、定时器的停止条件和定时器的超时动作可以在测量配置信息中指示,或者在协议中规定,即可以在终端进行测量上报之前出厂的时候预先配置,无需网络设备通过信令为终端配置。第一阈值N可以在测量配置信息中单独指示,也可以在定时器配置信息中指示,或在协议中说明,即可以在终端进行测量上报之前出厂的时候预先配置,无需网络设备通过信令为终端配置。示例的,定时器的启动条件为,在定时器未启动条件下,对于一个测量ID,终端确定有一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时刻,启动定时器,即终端测量到第一邻区的测量结果,并判断该第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,就启动定时器,其中,这里的第一邻区的测量结果可以理解为终端对邻区进行测量,得到满足第一条件的第一个邻区的测量结果。需要说明的是,在终端测量第一邻区之前,终端可能已测到其他邻区的测量结果,但是其他邻区的测量结果并不满足第一条件,所以定时器并不启动,或者,终端根本没有测量到其他任何邻区的测量结果,所以定时器也不启动。第一阈值N用于表示在定时器运行状态中,终端测量到的测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量门限值,达到该门限值后向网络设备上报邻区测量结果;定时器的停止条件为在定时器运行状态中,终端测量到的邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的数量达到第一阈值时,停止定时器;定时器的超时动作为终端发起测量报告的上报过程,测量报告包含定时器运行状态中测量结果满足第一条件的至少一个邻区。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例所述的定时器是根据定时器配置信息配置的,并非终端配置的其他定时器。另外,本申请实施例所述的定时器的配置可以是基于终端已 配置了第一阈值N的情况下,这样,终端向网络设备上报测量报告时,是需要同时考虑第一阈值N和定时器时长两方面的因素才能向网络设备上报测量报告。即在定时器运行状态下,终端测量到的满足上报条件的邻区个数或待上报的事件个数达到第一阈值N后向网络设备上报测量报告,或定时器超时后终端也向网络设备上报测量报告。
高度配置信息包括高度信息以及与高度信息对应的触发上报迟滞值,高度信息包含多个高度值范围。多个高度值范围可以分别对应一个触发上报迟滞值,或者,高度配置信息包括高度信息、第二触发上报迟滞值以及与高度信息对应的调整因子,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围中的至少一个高度值范围分别对应一个调整因子。
速度配置信息包含速度信息、第四触发上报迟滞值以及与速度信息对应的调整因子,速度信息包含多个速度范围,多个速度范围中的至少一个速度范围分别对应一个调整因子。
需要说明的是,第一条件为测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件,或进一步约束为至少一个邻区经过层三滤波的测量结果在迟滞时间范围内连续满足测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件,以上两种情况在本申请实施例中统称为测量结果满足第一条件。测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件可以是3G系统、4G系统和5G系统中规定的任何测量事件对应的条件,不同的测量事件对应的条件是不同的。例如,A3事件表示同频或异频的邻区质量相比服务小区质量高出一定门限,当满足事件触发条件的小区信息被上报时,源网络设备启动同频/异频切换请求,其中,测量事件进入条件为同频或异频的邻区质量相比服务小区质量高出一定门限。测量事件离开条件为测量事件进入条件的反向,例如,A3事件的离开条件为同频或异频的邻区质量小于服务小区质量与偏移量的和。
可选择的,测量配置信息还可以包括第一周期,第一周期用于终端按照第一周期周期性地向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括至少一个被触发的测量事件信息和相应邻区的测量结果,测量事件信息可以是测量ID或测量事件ID,或者,测量报告包括至少一个被触发的测量事件信息,以及对应于至少一个被触发的测量事件的已触发时长和邻区的测量结果。
402、网络设备向终端发送测量配置信息。
403、终端接收网络设备发送的测量配置信息。
网络设备向终端发送测量配置信息之后,终端接收网络设备发送的测量配置信息。
404、终端对邻区进行测量。
终端接收到网络设备发送的测量配置信息之后,终端根据测量配置信息对邻区进行测量。需要说明的是,测量配置信息不仅包括用于终端上报邻区测量结果的上报配置标识,还包括用于终端对邻区进行测量的测量对象标识,以及和具体的配置信息内容。配置信息内容包括测量对象信息和上报配置信息。其中,测量对象标识对应一个测量对象配置项,即网络设备在此项中配置了终端需要测量的对象,可以包括需要测量的频率、测量带宽、频率相关偏移量、小区列表和小区黑名单等。
405、终端根据测量配置信息向网络设备上报测量报告。
终端根据测量配置信息对邻区进行测量,得到测量结果之后,并向网络设备发送 测量报告,测量报告包含至少一个邻区的测量结果,对于事件上报至少一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,第一条件为测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件,或进一步约束为至少一个邻区经过层三滤波的测量结果在迟滞时间范围内连续满足测量事件进入条件或测量事件离开条件。
在测量配置信息包括不同的配置信息的情况下,终端向网络设备上报测量报告的方式也不同,下面对不同的测量上报方式分别进行详细说明。
方式一、若在步骤401中,网络设备为终端配置的测量配置信息包括定时器配置信息,此时,步骤404具体的可以是:在定时器未启动情况下,终端确定有一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件时,启动定时器,然后,终端继续对其他邻区进行测量,获取其他邻区的测量结果,判断其他邻区的测量结果是否满足第一条件,如果在定时器运行状态中,测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量达到第一阈值N,则终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包含N个邻区的测量结果,N为正整数,示例的,在实际应用中,N可以设置为1到8的任意值,此时,可以停止定时器的运行。从而,终端在定时器的运行时段内,获取到N个邻区的测量结果后,才向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,此时,终端只需要一条信令向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,而对于现有技术需要N条信令向网络设备上报N个邻区的测量结果,本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法通过减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果所需的信令的个数来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
但是,如果在定时器运行状态中,测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量未达到第一阈值N,而此时终端确定定时器已经超时,则终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包含定时器运行状态中测量结果满足第一条件的至少一个邻区,至少一个可能是刚好满足第一阈值N的数量,也可能是小于第一阈值N的数量。从而,在定时器超时后,无论终端获取到多少个邻区的测量结果,都向网络设备上报获取到的邻区的测量结果,避免终端为了获取N个邻区的测量结果长时间的等待而导致的上报时延。
示例的,图9提供一种测量报告上报示意图,假设N为3,如图9所示,终端在T1时先确定小区1的测量结果满足第一条件,启动定时器,然后,在定时器运行状态下,终端又在T2时确定小区2的测量结果满足第一条件以及在T3时确定小区3的测量结果满足第一条件,在终端确定小区3的测量结果满足第一条件后,终端判断测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量达到3个,此时,终端向网络设备上报测量报告,同时,停止定时器的运行,测量报告包含小区1的测量结果、小区2的测量结果和小区3的测量结果。如果在定时器运行状态下,终端只在T1时确定小区1的测量结果满足第一条件和在T2时小区2的测量结果满足第一条件,在T4时定时器超时,测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量为2个未达到3个,此时终端确定定时器已经超时,则终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包含小区1的测量结果和小区2的测量结果。
需要说明的是,终端最终获取的邻区的测量结果可以是经过层三(L3)滤波后得到的,即利用邻区的测量结果的历史值对邻区的测量结果的当前值进行平滑滤波,同时可以进一步约束为邻区经过层三滤波的测量结果在迟滞时间范围内连续满足测量事件进入条件或离开条件。
需要说明的是,测量配置信息包括测量标识、测量对象标识,上报配置标识和具 体的配置信息内容,配置信息内容包括测量对象信息和上报配置信息。因此,定时器配置信息可以是针对测量配置信息中的测量标识配置的,其中,测量标识是测量配置数据库中测量配置条目的索引,一个测量标识对应一个测量对象和一个上报配置,测量对象标识对应一个测量对象配置项,测量对象配置项可以包括需要测量的测量频率、测量带宽、频率相关偏移量、小区列表和小区黑名单等。上报配置标识对应一个测量报告配置项,测量报告配置项可以包括需要测量的事件以及相关事件的参数和/或周期性上报的周期等,示例的,一个定时器配置信息可以对应一个测量频率和一个测量事件的组合,测量频率可以理解为测量频点。或者,定时器配置信息可以是针对测量配置信息中的测量对象标识配置的,由于多个测量标识可以对应一个测量对象和多个上报配置,即多个测量标识中每个测量标识对应的测量对象相同但对应的上报配置不同,示例的,一个定时器配置信息可以对应同一个频率,多个测量标识都对应该频率,但是对应的事件不同。或者,定时器配置信息可以是针对测量配置信息中的上报配置标识配置的,由于多个测量标识可以对应多个测量对象和同一个上报配置,即多个测量标识中每个测量标识对应的测量对象不同但对应的上报配置相同,示例的,一个定时器配置信息对应同一个事件,多个测量标识都对应该事件上报配置,但是对应的频率不同。此外,定时器配置信息还可以是针对终端配置的,即对于一个终端,所有的测量事件上报共享一个定时器。
另外,对于上报的第一阈值N,可以是对于一个测量标识对应的邻区数量门限,也可以是对于一个测量对象标识,或一个上报配置标识,或一个终端的所有被触发的待上报事件数量,或测量标识门限。N值可以在测量配置消息中指示,或在协议中规定。例如,测量对象中配置触发上报的小区个数门限为3,如果小区1满足了A3事件上报条件,并且没有达到触发事件上报的小区个数,同时定时器没有运行时,会触发定时器运行。随后小区2满足了A4事件,小区3满足了A5事件,达到了小区个数或待上报事件的门限要求,则终端向网络设备上报小区1满足了A3事件、小区2满足了A4事件和小区3满足了A5事件。如果定时器超时,小区1满足了A3事件上报条件,小区2满足了A4事件,终端没有测量到新的待上报事件,例如小区3不满足A5事件的测量结果,此时,终端也会向网络设备进行上报,上报的测量报告包括小区1满足了A3事件和小区2满足了A4事件,即测量报告包含相应的两个测量标识。
现有技术中测量配置信息中包括的触发上报迟滞值(time to trigger)是针对测量事件配置的,不同的测量事件具有不同的触发上报迟滞值。触发上报迟滞值用于保证测量结果的稳定性,即邻区的测量结果连续满足测量事件进入或测量事件离开条件的时间要大于触发上报迟滞值,才向网络设备上报邻区测量结果。触发上报迟滞值设置的过小,会导致频繁上报,或者导致乒乓切换;如果触发上报迟滞值设置的过大,会导致上报延迟。对于处于高空中的终端,能够测量到多个邻区,而且邻区测量结果的波动性要高于地面上的终端,继续沿用原有的触发上报迟滞值可能会导致频繁上报以及乒乓切换,所以可以为终端配置与高度相关的触发上报迟滞值,即终端处于不同高度时采用不同的触发上报迟滞值。
方式二、若在步骤401中,网络设备为终端配置的测量配置信息包括高度配置信息,在步骤404,即终端对邻区进行测量之后,若终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足 第一条件,此时,终端需要先确定终端的高度值,并根据高度值确定第一触发上报迟滞值,然后,确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值时,终端才向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果。第一邻区为当前需要上报的邻区。
从而,终端通过自身的当前高度来确定第一触发上报迟滞值,当终端确定通过测量获取到的第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值时,才向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果,由于不同高度采用不同的迟滞值,当终端高度较高时,可以设置更大的迟滞值,此时,终端延迟了上报第一邻区的测量结果的时机,而对于现有技术对于不同的高度只使用一个迟滞值,本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法通过对于不同终端高度设置不同的迟滞值延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
其中,终端根据高度值确定第一触发上报迟滞值具体的实现方式如下所述:
可选择的,若高度配置信息包括高度信息以及与高度信息对应的触发上报迟滞值,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围分别对应一个触发上报迟滞值时,终端在确定终端的高度值之后,将终端的高度值与多个高度值范围进行比较,确定终端的高度值在第一高度值范围内,第一高度值范围对应于第一触发上报迟滞值,此时,若终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值,向网络设备上报测量报告。示例的,若第一高度值范围为[0,100m],对应的第一触发上报迟滞值为80ms;第二高度值范围为(100,200m],对应的第二触发上报迟滞值为160ms。当终端处于90m时,对应的高度值范围为第一高度值范围,第一高度值范围对应第一触发上报迟滞值,则终端获取到的触发上报迟滞值为第一触发上报迟滞值。
从而,终端可以根据自身的当前高度,从多个高度值范围中确定出第一高度值范围,进一步地将第一高度值范围对应的第一触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
可选择的,若高度配置信息包括高度信息、第二触发上报迟滞值(作为基准触发上报迟滞值)以及与高度信息对应的调整因子,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围中的至少一个高度值范围分别对应一个调整因子时,终端在确定终端的高度值之后,将终端的高度值与多个高度值范围进行比较,确定终端的高度值在第一高度值范围内,第一高度值范围又对应于第一调整因子,终端再利用第一调整因子对第二触发上报迟滞值进行调整,得到第一触发上报迟滞值,此时,若终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值,向网络设备上报测量报告。示例的,假设第二触发上报迟滞值为80ms,第一高度值范围为[0,100m],第一高度值范围对应的第一调整因子为1.2,如果终端的高度值在第一高度值范围内,即用80*1.2,得到第一触发上报迟滞值为96ms;第二高度值范围为(100,200m],第二高度值范围对应的第二调整因子为1.25,如果终端的高度值在第二高度值范围内,即用80*1.25,得到第一触发上报迟滞值为100ms;第三高度值范围为(200,300m],第三高度值范围对应的第三调整因子为1.5,如果终端的高度值在第三高度值范围内,即用80*1.5,得到第 一触发上报迟滞值为120ms。
从而,终端可以根据自身的当前高度,从多个高度值范围中确定出第一高度值范围,进一步地利用第一高度值范围对应的第一调整因子调整第二触发上报迟滞值,得到第一触发上报迟滞值,将第一触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第一触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
需要说明的是,若终端确定终端的高度值在第二高度值范围内,而第二高度值范围对应于第二触发上报迟滞值,此时,终端无需对第二触发上报迟滞值进行调整,直接将第二触发上报迟滞值确定为第一触发上报迟滞值。
从而,终端直接将第二触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第二触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
可选择的,网络设备还可以直接为终端配置以网络设备的高度值确定的高度值范围,并为终端配置两个触发上报迟滞值,一个触发上报迟滞值对应于终端的高度值小于或等于网络设备的高度值时使用,另一个触发上报迟滞值对应于终端的高度值大于网络设备的高度值时使用。
另外,网络设备还可以为终端配置一个小区列表,即测量配置信息还包括小区列表,终端接收到测量配置信息后,对邻区进行测量,只有在终端测量到小区列表中的小区的测量结果满足第一条件时,才会应用以上所述的与高度配置信息相关的触发上报迟滞值向网络设备上报小区列表中的小区的测量结果。小区列表中的小区标识可以是物理小区ID,也可以是与物理小区ID相对应的小区索引号。
现有技术中,终端在一段时间内可以通过统计小区改变次数,并通过与相应门限比较判断出终端的移动状态为中等移动状态还是高等移动状态。但是,对于图4所示的NR-NB的场景和图5所示的CU-DU分离的场景,单个DU可能生成多个小区的信号,也可以是多个DU生成一个小区的信号来说,都会导致小区范围变大,即使终端处于高等移动状态,也有可能不产生小区改变,使得这一速度估计方法不再适用。而且,对于5G系统,网络设备可能采用波束与终端进行无线通信。本申请实施例中可以通过波束改变次数估计终端的移动状态。所以可以为终端配置与速度相关的触发上报迟滞值,即终端具有不同的移动速度时采用不同的触发上报迟滞值。
方式三、若在步骤401中,网络设备为终端配置的测量配置信息包括速度配置信息或称为移动状态参数信息,在步骤404,即终端对邻区进行测量之后,若终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,此时,终端需要先根据波束改变情况确定终端的移动速度,根据移动速度确定第三触发上报迟滞值,然后,确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值时,终端才向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果。第一邻区为当前需要上报的邻区。终端根据一定时间内波束改变次数,确定终端的移动速度。示例的,网络设备可以为终端配置相关移动状态判断参数,包括统计时间和相应不同移动状态档位的波束改变次数门限。例 如统计时间为30秒,中等移动状态的波束改变次数门限为30,高等移动状态的波束改变次数门限为60,即在30秒时间内,如果波束改变次数小于30次则判断为低速移动状态,如果波束改变次数大于等于30且小于60,则判断为中等移动状态;如果波束改变次数大于60次,则判断为高等移动状态。如图10所示,终端的移动状态对应波束改变的示意图,终端从位置1移动到位置2,对应着终端使用的波束3改变为波束5,终端又从位置2移动到位置3,对应着终端使用的波束5改变为波束7。这里的波束,可以是终端与网络设备通信的服务波束,也可以是终端检测到的信号质量最好的波束。终端可以通过波束ID、波束对应的参考信号资源或相应参考信号ID来分辨波束。
从而,终端通过波束的改变确定自身的当前移动速度,进一步根据终端的移动速度来确定第三触发上报迟滞值,当终端确定通过测量获取到的第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值时,才向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果,此时,终端延迟了上报第一邻区的测量结果的时机,而对于现有技术只通过小区改变次数估计终端的移动速度的方法,本申请实施例通过波束改变次数估计速度情况能作为现有方法的有效补充,所述的测量上报方法通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
需要说明的是,虽然可以通过波束改变次数间接的获得终端的移动速度估计,但是终端也有可能具备直接进行速度测量的能力。如果终端向网络设备上报了速度测量能力,网络设备可以直接为终端配置相应速度范围对应的调整因子,当终端处于不同速度范围时,选择相应的调整因子对基准触发上报迟滞值进行修正。
其中,终端根据高度值确定第三触发上报迟滞值具体的实现方式如下所述:
可选择的,若速度配置信息包含速度信息、第四触发上报迟滞值(作为基准触发上报迟滞值)以及与速度信息对应的调整因子,速度信息包含多个速度范围,多个速度范围中的至少一个速度范围分别对应一个调整因子时,终端在确定终端的移动速度之后,将终端的移动速度与多个速度范围进行比较,确定终端的移动速度在第一速度范围内,第一速度范围又对应于第二调整因子,终端再利用第二调整因子对第四触发上报迟滞值进行调整,得到第三触发上报迟滞值,此时,若终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值,向网络设备上报测量报告。
从而,终端可以根据自身的移动速度,从多个速度范围中确定出第一速度范围,进一步地利用第一速度范围对应的第二调整因子调整第四触发上报迟滞值,得到第三触发上报迟滞值,将第三触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第三触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
需要说明的是,若终端确定终端的移动速度在第二速度范围内,而第二速度范围对应于第四触发上报迟滞值,此时,终端无需对第四触发上报迟滞值进行调整,直接将第四触发上报迟滞值确定为第三触发上报迟滞值。
从而,终端直接将第四触发上报迟滞值作为终端延迟上报第一邻区的测量结果的时延,此时,需要第一邻区的测量结果连续满足第一条件的时长达到第四触发上报迟滞值才触发上报,通过延迟终端上报邻区测量结果的时机,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
另外,网络设备还可以为终端配置一个小区列表,即测量配置信息还包括小区列表,终端接收到测量配置信息后,对邻区进行测量,只有在终端测量到小区列表中的小区的测量结果满足第一条件时,才会应用以上所述的与速度配置信息相关的触发上报迟滞值向网络设备上报小区列表中的小区的测量结果。小区列表中的小区标识可以是物理小区ID,也可以是与物理小区ID相对应的小区索引号。
现有技术中,当终端能够测量到多个邻区时,有可能这些邻区会多次触发测量事件上报,而且在每个测量报告中包含的内容是满足该测量事件触发条件的邻区测量结果。如果网络设备为终端配置了多个事件,针对每个测量事件上报的内容可能是相同的邻区,这样就导致了重复上报。例如,A3事件是指邻区信号强度比服务小区信号强度高一个偏移量,A4事件是指邻区信号强度高于一个门限值,当小区1的信号强度足够高时,会同时满足A3和A4两个事件上报触发条件,产生两次测量上报。为避免频繁的针对相同小区的测量上报,本申请实施例通过周期上报模式来上报测量事件。
方式四、若在步骤401中,网络设备为终端配置的测量配置信息包括第一周期,则在步骤405,终端根据第一周期周期性地向网络设备上报测量报告。在步骤404,即终端对邻区进行测量之后,若终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,测量报告还包括被触发的测量事件信息,或者,被触发的测量事件信息以及对应的触发时长,触发时长为终端测量到的邻区的测量结果满足第一条件的连续时长。如图11所示,上报周期为30ms,A3事件上报迟滞值为50ms,在第K次终端向网络设备上报测量报告时,除了包括常规的邻区的测量结果外,还包括第一小区的测量结果满足的A3事件信息,以及已连续满足10ms的触发时长信息,例如,A3事件信息可以是相应的测量ID;在第K+1次终端向网络设备上报测量报告时,除了包括常规的邻区的测量结果外,还包括第一小区的测量结果满足的A3事件和连续满足40ms,第二小区的测量结果满足A3事件和连续满足20ms;在第K+2次终端向网络设备上报测量报告时,除了包括常规的邻区的测量结果外,还包括第一小区和第二小区已满足A3事件触发条件。
从而,终端通过在周期测量报告中加入至少一个被触发的测量事件信息,或者,至少一个触发测量事件信息以及对应于至少一个触发测量事件的触发时长,并在测量报告中包含相应触发事件上报邻区测量结果,间接地减少终端上报多个邻区的测量结果的信令的个数,来有效地减少信令资源浪费。
需要说明的是,上述在测量配置信息包括不同的配置信息的情况下,终端向网络设备上报测量报告的不同方式可以进行任意的组合,来向网络设备上报测量报告。例如,假设测量配置信息包括定时器配置信息和高度配置信息,或者,测量配置信息包括定时器配置信息和速度配置信息。在终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件,根据高度配置信息或速度配置信息向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果时,可以先确定定时器是否在运行状态中或是否超时,如果定时器处于运行状态中,再确定测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量是否达到第一阈值N,若测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数 量达到第一阈值N,终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果,若测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量未达到第一阈值N,终端可以先不向网络设备上报测量报告,等待测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量达到第一阈值N,终端再向网络设备上报测量报告;如果定时器超时,终端直接向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果。如果测量配置信息没有包括定时器配置信息,终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件时,终端根据高度配置信息或速度配置信息直接向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果。
可选择的,测量配置信息还可以包括定时器配置信息、高度配置信息和速度配置信息。在终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件后,一种实现可能实现的方式,根据上述测量配置信息包括高度配置信息时的实现方式确定第一触发上报迟滞值,并根据上述当测量配置信息包括速度配置信息时的实现方式确定第三触发上报迟滞值,然后,比较第一触发上报迟滞值和第三触发上报迟滞值的大小,从第一触发上报迟滞值和第三触发上报迟滞值中选择较大的触发上报迟滞值作为最终的触发上报迟滞值。
一种实现可能实现的方式,当高度配置信息包括高度信息、第二触发上报迟滞值(基准触发上报迟滞值)以及与高度信息对应的调整因子,高度信息包含多个高度值范围,多个高度值范围中的至少一个高度值范围分别对应一个调整因子,速度配置信息包含速度信息、第四触发上报迟滞值(基准触发上报迟滞值)以及与速度信息对应的调整因子,速度信息包含多个速度范围,多个速度范围中的至少一个速度范围分别对应一个调整因子。其中,第二触发上报迟滞值和第四触发上报迟滞值相同的情况下,终端根据上述测量配置信息包括高度配置信息时的实现方式确定第一调整因子,终端根据上述测量配置信息包括速度配置信息时的实现方式确定第二调整因子,然后,比较第一调整因子和第二调整因子的大小,从第一调整因子和第二调整因子中选择较大的调整因子调整基准触发上报迟滞值;或者,第一调整因子和第二调整因子也可以进行相乘等运算,确定最终使用的调整因子来调整基准触发上报迟滞值;或者,第一调整因子和第二调整因子相同,任意选择一个来调整基准触发上报迟滞值。
在终端根据上述测量配置信息包括定时器配置信息、高度配置信息和速度配置信息的情况下,确定最终使用的触发上报迟滞值后,并延迟向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果的时机,向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果时,可以先确定定时器是否在运行状态中或是否超时,如果定时器处于运行状态中,再确定测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量是否达到第一阈值N,若测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量达到第一阈值N,终端向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果,若测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量未达到第一阈值N,终端可以先不向网络设备上报测量报告,等待测量结果满足第一条件的邻区数量达到第一阈值N,终端再向网络设备上报测量报告;如果定时器超时,终端直接向网络设备上报测量报告,测量报告包括第一邻区的测量结果。如果测量配置信息没有包括定时器配置信息,终端确定第一邻区的测量结果满足第一条件时,终端根据高度配置信息和速度配置信息直接向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果。
假设测量配置信息包括第一周期和高度配置信息,或者,测量配置信息包括第一周期和速度配置信息。在终端根据高度配置信息或速度配置信息确定第一邻区的测量 结果满足第一条件后,如果没有到第一周期向网络设备上报测量报告的时刻,终端先不向网络设备上报测量报告,待时间到达向网络设备上报测量报告的时刻,终端才向网络设备上报第一邻区的测量结果。
406、网络设备接收终端上报的测量报告。
终端向网络设备发送测量报告之后,网络设备接收终端发送的测量报告。
现有技术中,当一个邻区的测量结果满足第一条件后,邻区的标识会被加入到相关测量事件的小区触发列表中,小区触发列表最多存储32个小区,在上报相关测量事件时,会根据邻区测量结果按照从大到小的顺序对邻区进行排列,并只挑选其中的预设个数n的邻区进行上报。当终端测量到多个邻区时,有可能多个邻区都符合第一条件,但是在根据邻区测量结果排序时,有的邻区可能不能排在n个邻区范围内,造成测量报告中不包含触发上报的邻区。
进一步的,为保证满足第一条件的邻区测量结果包含在测量报告中,如图12所示,终端向网络设备上报测量报告之前可以先执行步骤407或步骤408:
407、终端将i个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中。
其中,i表示终端当前需要上报测量结果的邻区数量,i为小于n的正整数,n表示预设的上报测量结果的最大邻区数量。i和n都是终端可以预先配置的。即终端先将i个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,再从小区触发列表中选择n-i个邻区的测量结果包括在测量报告中,此时,向网络设备发送的测量报告包括了n个邻区的测量结果,其中,包括当前需要上报的i个邻区的测量结果和从已触发上报邻区列表中选择n-i个邻区的测量结果。
从而,终端无需对i个邻区的测量结果与已触发上报邻区列表中包括的邻区测量结果进行排序,而是直接将i个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,使得网络设备能够获知终端获取到的i个邻区的测量结果。可选的,终端可以在测量报告中指示网络设备,当前的测量报告中有i个未按照排序顺序选择的上报邻区。
408、终端将n+j个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,n+j表示终端当前需要上报测量结果的邻区数量。
n表示预设的上报测量结果的最大邻区数量,n+j个邻区的测量结果包含当前需要上报的邻区测量结果。即终端先根据当前需要上报的邻区测量结果的个数将将测量报告包括的邻区测量结果的最大个数调整为n+j,将j个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,再从小区触发列表中选择n个邻区的测量结果包括在测量报告中,此时,向网络设备发送的测量报告包括了n+j个邻区的测量结果,其中,包括当前需要上报的j个邻区的测量结果和从小区触发列表中选择n个邻区的测量结果。
从而,终端将测量报告包括的邻区测量结果的最大个数调整为n+j,将j个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,使得网络设备能够获知终端获取到的j个邻区的测量结果。可选的,终端将n+j的值也包含在测量报告中上报给网络设备。
除407或408之外,可选的,终端将测量报告包括的邻区测量结果的最大个数调整为m+i,i表示终端当前需要上报的邻区测量结果的个数,n表示预设的邻区的测量结果的最大个数,m<n。即终端将i个邻区的测量结果包含在测量报告中,在从小区触发列表中选择需要上报的邻区测量结果时,选择数目小于n的m个测量结果,将所述 i+m个测量报告的结果包括在测量报告中。
