Description

切换方法及装置
本申请要求在2018年05月14日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810456476.4的中国专利申请的优先权,该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本公开涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种切换方法及装置。
背景技术
移动性能是无线通信系统中最重要的指标之一,业界一直致力于提高无线通信系统中的移动性能,比如第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)一直以来都在持续讨论和评估如何提高移动性能,包括降低切换失败概率,降低乒乓概率等。
以LTE的切换过程为例,在基于无线信号质量的切换中,无论是最基础的切换过程(basic handover)还是先通后断(Make-before-Break,简称为MBB)、无随机接入的切换(RACH-less HO)等增强切换流程,都是在满足“实际切换条件(移动性条件)(actual handover/mobility condition)”时才触发切换,也就是说,切换命令都是在满足“实际切换条件”时才发送给UE。这里,“实际切换条件”是指目标小区的信号质量足够好,UE切换到目标小区后可以进行正常的通信,反之,如果UE继续留在源小区,则可能导致无线链路失败。LTE系统中,“实际切换条件”可以是信号质量满足A3事件(邻区的信号质量比服务小区的信号质量高出一个偏移量),A4事件(邻区的信号质量高于门限)或A5事件(服务小区的信号质量低于门限1,邻区的信号质量高于门限2)等,“实际切换条件”的参数重配置,比如A3事件的偏移量,A4/A5事件的门限,通常是在网规网优之后确定的。
在满足“实际切换条件”时才触发切换的机制最初是针对同构低频网络设计的,然而随着网络的演进,在同构网络之外还部署了异构网络(HetNet),比如在传统蜂窝宏小区覆盖范围内部署微小区。此外在5G系统中,除了使用低频频率,将可以使用高达100GHz的高频频率。在5G系统中,小区部署将变得越来越密集,小区覆盖范围相对于5G之前的系统也将变得越来越小,这将使得5G系统中的切换(移动性)频率相对之前的系统变得更频繁。另外经过评估发现,在5G系统中测量报告和切换命令的发送更容易失败。更频繁的切换,更高的测量报告和切换命令失败概率,最终都导致5G系统更高的切换失败概率,乒乓概率,无线链路失败概率等。
针对相关技术中,测量报告或切换命令发送失败导致的切换失败的问题,尚未提出有效的解决方案。

需要说明的是,上述同一个测量事件可以为上述测量配置标识信息所关联的测量报告配置中配置的测量事件。
可选地,上述UE根据上述无线资源控制重配置消息进行切换包括:若上述无线资源控制重配置消息中包括的至少一个目标小区的测量结果满足上述测量配置标识信息所关联的报告配置的上报条件,则判断满足上述UE在上述目标小 区进行条件切换的执行条件;上述UE切换至上述目标小区。

可选地,在上述UE根据上述无线资源控制重配置消息进行切换时,上述方法还包括:上述UE向目标小区反馈的无线资源控制重配置完成消息中携带上述目标小区为上述条件切换命令分配的RRC消息传输标识。
在本实施例中还提供了一种切换方法,图2是根据本公开实施例的另一切换方法流程图,如图2所示,该流程包括如下步骤。
步骤S202,源基站向用户设备UE发送无线资源控制重配置消息,其中,该无线资源控制重配置消息中包括该UE进行条件切换的目标小区列表,该进行条件切换的目标小区列表中每个目标小区的信息包括以下至少之一:目标小区的频点信息、目标小区的物理小区标识、由目标小区生成的该目标小区的条件切换命令、至少一个测量配置标识信息,其中,该测量配置标识信息用于指示该UE在该目标小区进行条件切换的执行条件。
通过上述步骤,相比于现有的条件切换仅选择一个目标小区,本公开通过配置目标小区列表,从多个目标小区中选择一个目标小区,进而解决了相关技术中测量报告或切换命令发送失败导致的切换失败的问题,提高了移动性能。
在一个可选地实施方式中,上述目标小区的条件切换命令,由上述目标小区通过接口消息发送至上述源基站;其中,上述接口消息中包括目标小区配置列表,上述目标小区配置列表中每个目标小区的配置包括:目标小区的小区全局标识CGI、目标小区的条件切换命令,以及以下信息之一:目标小区上成功接纳的协议数据单元PDU会话信息、目标小区上成功接纳的演进的无线接入承载E-RAB信息。

下面结合可选实施例以及示例,对本实施例进行举例说明。
如图3为一种可能的切换场景示意图,图3中UE从小区1向小区2移动,在现有切换技术中,在满足“实际切换条件”(如图3中的B点)时才发起切换过程。在5G系统中,由于小区的密集部署,高频频率的使用等,使用现有切换 技术将很容易导致切换失败,如图4给出了采用现有切换技术导致的一种可能的切换失败流程图。如图4所示,当UE移动到如图3所示的B点,判断满足“实际切换条件”时向源基站发送测量报告(S210)。源基站收到测量报告后,开始通知目标基站进行切换准备(S220),在收到来自目标基站的切换请求响应消息(S230)之后,源基站向UE发送切换命令(S240),但是由于此时源基站的信号质量已经变得很差,因此切换命令发送失败,一段时间后,UE在源基站发生无线链路失败(S250)。
为了克服现有切换技术应用到5G系统中导致的切换性能不理想的问题,业界提出条件切换(conditional handover),或者也可以称为提前切换准备。条件切换的总体切换流程如图5所示,包括:
S310,UE在满足“提前切换准备条件”(或者也可以称为“条件切换触发条件”)时,向源基站发送测量报告。
测量报告中上报满足“提前切换准备条件”的小区的信息,包括小区标识,比如物理小区标识PCI,小区的测量结果,小区内满足上报条件的波束的测量结果等。这里波束的测量结果是指单独某个测量参考信号的测量结果,而小区的测量结果是小区内多个测量参考信信号经过平均之后的测量结果。测量参考信号比如同步信号块(SS Blocks),信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)。
“提前切换准备条件”由基站配置给UE,“提前切换准备条件”在满足“实际切换条件”之前满足,比如图3中在A点满足“提前切换准备条件”。
S320,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求。
源基站收到测量报告后,根据测量报告向满足“提前切换准备条件”的目标小区发送切换请求。切换请求中包含UE在源基站的相关配置信息,目标小区的小区级测量结果,目标小区的波束测量结果。
S330.目标基站向源基站反馈切换请求响应。
切换请求响应中包含发送给UE的条件切换命令。条件切换命令中包含目标小区信息,UE接入目标小区所需要的信息,“条件切换执行条件”等。目标小区信息包含目标小区标识(PCI),目标小区所用的频率信息。UE接入目标小区所需要的信息包括UE在目标小区进行随机接入的随机接入配置信息,目标小区的公共配置信息,目标小区配置给UE的专用配置信息等。
S340,源基站向UE发送条件切换命令。
S350,UE向源基站发送条件切换完成消息。
UE接收到条件切换命令后,不立即执行切换,继续留在源小区。UE继续对条件切换命令中指示的目标小区进行测量。
S360,目标小区满足“条件切换执行条件”。
如图3所示,当UE移动到B点时,小区2满足“条件切换执行条件”。
S370,UE接入小区2。比如UE通过随机接入接入小区2。
S380,UE向目标小区发送条件切换成功消息。
条件切换中,切换准备过程在满足“实际切换条件”之前提前完成,切换命令在源小区的信号质量还足够好的时候提前发送给UE,避免了现有切换技术中测量报告或切换命令发送失败导致的切换失败,有效提高了移动性能。
以下举详细可选实施例说明本公开实现条件切换的关键技术。
可选实施例一
条件切换中,为避免测量报告或切换命令的发送失败,UE在满足“实际切换条件”之前,也即在满足“提前切换准备条件”时就上报测量报告。为达到这个目的,“提前切换准备条件”比“实际切换条件”更宽松,比如,以配置A4事件(邻区的信号质量高于门限)为例,若满足“实际切换条件”的门限为Th1,满足“提前切换准备条件”的门限为Th2,则配置Th2<Th1。因为“提前切换准备条件”的门限比“实际切换条件”的门限低,因此相对于“实际切换条件”,会有多个邻区同时满足“提前切换准备”条件。如图6为条件切换的切换准备流程图,包括:
S410/S410’,UE在满足“提前切换准备条件”时,向源基站上报测量报告。
基站配置测量时,配置一个频率(frequency)为一个测量对象(measurement object),不同的频率配置为不同的测量对象。不同频率上的小区满足“提前切换准备条件”,分别上报各自的测量报告,测量报告中上报该频率上所有满足“提前切换准备条件”的小区的信息。例如,源基站分别配置了对频率F1和F2的测量,F1对应测量对象1,F2对应测量对象2,本实施例中,F1和F2上的小区在差不多时间内相继触发测量报告,因此UE分别上报两个测量报告S410和S410’,测量报告中分别上报F1和F2上满足“提前切换准备条件”的所有小区的信息。
S420/S420’,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求。
本实施例中,源基站根据S410/S410’中所收到的测量报告,判断满足“提前切换准备条件”的小区分别位于目标基站T-gNB1和目标基站T-gNB2上。源基站向目标基站T-gNB1和T-gNB2发起切换请求。切换请求中除了包含UE在源基站的相关配置信息之外,包含目标小区列表,目标小区列表中至少包含每个目标小区的小区全局标识(CGI),还可以包含每个目标小区的测量结果。
S430/S430’,目标基站向源基站反馈切换请求响应。
切换请求响应中包含目标小区配置列表,即包含目标基站接纳并成功完成切换配置的目标小区的配置信息。目标小区配置列表中包含每个目标小区的CGI,每个目标小区上成功接纳的PDU session信息(如果UE接入的是5G核心网)或E-RAB信息(如果UE接入的是LTE的核心网),每个目标小区的条件切换命令。条件切换命令由目标小区生成,比如由目标小区生成RRC重配置消息(RRCReconfiguration),所生成的RRCReconfiguration直接以字符流(OCTET STRING)的形式(或者也称容器container的形式)包含在切换请求响应中。每个目标小区生成的RRCReconfiguration消息都包含该目标小区为该RRCReconfiguration分配的RRC消息传输标识(rrc-TransactionIdentifier)。
S440,源基站向UE发送条件切换命令。
源基站向UE发送条件切换命令,条件切换命令包含在源基站生成的RRCReconfiguration中。一个RRCReconfiguration中可以包含多个目标小区的条件切换命令,即RRCReconfiguration中包含条件切换目标小区列表。条件切换目标小区列表中包含每个目标小区的频点信息和物理小区标识(PCI),由目标小区生成的该目标小区的条件切换命令,以及至少一个指示该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息。其中,目标小区的频点信息用绝对载频号(ARFCN)标识;指示该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息,可以用测量配置标识(Measurement identity,measID)来标识。一个measID关联一个测量对象和一个报告配置,通过measID,UE可以确定该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件。源基站生成的RRCReconfiguration中包含源基站为该RRCReconfiguration消息分配的rrc-TransactionIdentifier。
可选实施例一中,S-gNB和T-gNB之间存在基站间接口,因此S-gNB和T-gNB之间的切换准备消息,包括源基站向目标基站发送的切换请求和目标基站向源基站反馈的切换请求响应都是通过基站间接口直接传递。在实际网络中,存在源基站和目标基站没有部署基站间接口的情况,在这种情况下,切换准备相关的所有消息都通过核心网传输,比如,也就是说源基站通过源基站与核心网之间的接口发送切换准备相关消息给核心网,核心网将接收到的消息通过核心网与目标基站之间的接口转发给目标基站。目标基站通过其与核心网之间的接口将切换准备相关的反馈消息发送给核心网,核心网将接收到的消息通过核心网与源基站之间的接口转发给源基站。其它可选实施例同此说明。
可选实施例二
条件切换中,UE在收到条件切换命令(包含在源小区生成的RRCReconfiguration中,如实施例一步骤S440所述)后,不立刻执行切换,而是继续留在源小区,对RRCReconfiguration中所包含的条件切换目标小区列表中的目标小区进行测量,当判断有目标小区满足RRCReconfiguration中指示的该小区的“条件切换执行条件”时,UE执行切换,接入所述目标小区。如实施例一步骤S440所述,源小区生成的RRCReconfiguration消息中包含用于指示每个目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息,比如measID,如果一个目标小区的测量结果满足用于指示该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的measID所关联的报告配置(reportConfig)的上报条件,则判断满足该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”。
在5G系统中将可以使用高达100GHz的高频频率,高频频率具有高路损,高空气吸收度(氧气吸收,雨衰落,雾衰落),以及对阴影衰落敏感等特点,此外高频频率的穿透损耗很高,因此高频链路受到阻挡物阻挡时,很容易发生链路阻断(blockage)。为克服高频链路的上述特征,源小区在RRCReconfiguration中可以为条件切换目标小区指示超过一个(more than one)“条件切换执行条件”,也即指示超过一个测量配置的标识信息。以测量事件A5为例,源基站在 RRCReconfiguration中为一个条件切换目标小区指示了两个measID,measID1和measID2,其中measID1和measID2分别关联到两个不同的reportConfig,reportConfig1和reportConfig2。
其中,reportConfig1中配置的A5事件为:服务小区的信号质量低于X1,邻区的信号质量高于Y1。
reportConfig2中配置的A5事件为:服务小区的信号质量低于X2,邻区的信号质量高于Y2。
其中,配置X1<X2,Y1<Y2。本实施例中,假设“提前切换准备条件”也配置为A5事件(服务小区的信号质量低于X0,邻区的信号质量高于Y0),或者“提前切换准备条件”配置为A4事件(邻区的信号质量高于Y0),则配置Y0<Y1<Y2,配置X1<X2<X0。
基于以上配置,以图7的切换场景示意图为例,当UE在服务小区发生blockage时(图7的C点),尽管X1取值很小,但由于发生blockage,服务小区信号质量满足小区X1,如果此时目标小区的信号质量已经高于Y1,则measID1所关联的reportConfig1满足上报条件,UE执行条件切换。而在正常没有发生blockage的情况下,当UE移动到B点时,满足measID2所关联的reportConfig2的上报条件,UE才执行条件切换。
可选实施例三
条件切换中,切换准备过程在满足“实际切换条件”之前提前完成,切换命令在源小区的信号质量还足够好的时候提前发送给了UE,因此相对于现有切换技术,“条件切换执行条件”的触发时间可以比现有切换技术中“实际切换条件”的触发时间更靠后。以A3事件为例,对于同一个切换场景,若现有切换结束中将A3事件的偏移配置为O1,而“条件切换执行条件”中将A3事件的偏移配置为O2,则可以配置O2>O1。为实现以上目的,本实施例例提出以下三种实施方式:
实施方式一
当源基站向UE发送条件切换目标小区列表时(参考实施例一步骤S440),除了在条件切换目标小区列表中给出每个条件切换小区的ARFCN和PCI,该目标小区的条件切换命令,以及指示该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息(如measID)之外,修改(若之前已经有配置)或增加(若之前没有配置)该measID所关联的测量对象(measurement object)配置中该目标小区的小区级偏移(cell Individual Offset),小区级偏移用于UE评估该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”时使用。通常情况下,当基站修改一个测量对象的配置参数时,UE会删除所保存的该测量对象的测量结果,停止用于上报该测量对象的测量结果的周期性测量报告定时器(periodical reporting timer),停止用于对该测量对象的测量结果进行层3(L3,在这里是指RRC层)滤波的定时器(timeToTrigger)。本实施例中,为保证移动性能,修改或增加所述小区级偏移的时候不执行上述操作。
实施方式二
当源基站向UE发送条件切换目标小区列表时(参考实施例一步骤S440),除了在条件切换目标小区列表中给出每个条件切换小区的ARFCN和PCI,该目标小区的条件切换命令,以及指示该目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息(如measID)之外,还给出一个偏移量或者门限值。根据系统的设计,UE收到该偏移量或者门限值后采取以下操作之一:
操作1:用该偏移量或者门限值取代所述目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息(如measID)所关联的测量对象中配置的偏移量或者门限值。
操作2:计算该偏移量或者门限值与在所述目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息(如measID)所关联的测量对象中配置的偏移量或者门限值的和。
UE根据上述操作之一计算得到偏移量或者门限值之后,用所述计算得到的偏移量或者门限值评估所述目标小区是否满足“条件切换执行条件”。
以A3事件为例,在收到切换目标小区列表之前,基站在measID1中为UE配置的A3事件为邻区的信号质量比服务小区的信号质量高出一个偏移量,偏移量配置为3dB。基站在条件切换目标小区列表中,指示一个目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息为measID1,并且配置了一个偏移量2dB。UE收到该偏移量后,执行操作2,得到measID1的A3时间的偏移量为5dB,UE用5dB评估该目标小区是否满足A3事件,即满足“条件切换执行条件”。
同样以A3事件为例,在收到切换目标小区列表之前,基站在measID1中为UE配置的A3事件为邻区的信号质量比服务小区的信号质量高出一个偏移量,偏移量配置为3dB。基站在条件切换目标小区列表中,指示一个目标小区的“条件切换执行条件”的测量配置的标识信息为measID1,并且配置了一个偏移量5dB。UE收到该偏移量后,执行操作1,得到measID1的A3时间的偏移量为5dB,UE用5dB评估该目标小区是否满足A3事件,即满足“条件切换执行条件”。
实施方式三
源基站在配置reportConfig时,对于同一个事件配置两套参数,比如配置两个用于评估邻区的门限,配置两个偏移,并且指示两套参数中一套用于普通切换,另一套用于条件切换。
以配置A4事件(邻区的信号质量高于门限)为例,配置两个门限Th1和Th2,并且指示Th1用于普通切换,Th2用于条件切换,UE用Th1评估目标小区是否满足普通切换条件,用Th2判断目标小区是否满足“条件切换执行条件”。
以配置A3事件(邻区的信号质量比服务小区的信号质量高出一个偏移量),配置两个偏移量Offset1和Offset2,并且指示Offset1用于普通切换,Offset2用于条件切换,UE用Offset1评估目标小区是否满足普通切换条件,用Th2判断目标小区是否满足“条件切换执行条件”。
可选实施例四
5G系统可以使用高达100GHz的高频频率,而高频链路受到阻挡物阻挡时,很容易发生blockage。5G系统中,采用两种机制检测无线链路质量,即波束链路检测(beam link monitoring)和无线链路检测(radio link monitoring)。当UE判断发生波束失败(beam failure)时,UE执行波束恢复过程(beam failure recovery),波束恢复有可能失败,比如找不到信号质量足够好的波束,或者比如没有收到来自基站的波束恢复响应等。
本实施例中,UE在收到源基站发送的包含条件切换目标小区列表的RRCReconfiguration消息后,若UE判断在源小区波束恢复失败或者无线链路失败,UE选择其中一个条件切换目标小区,切换到该目标小区。
如图8为本实施例的实施流程图,包括:S610~S640,分别同实施例一S410,S420,S430,S440。
S650,UE向源基站反馈RRCReconfigurationComplete消息。
S660,在有条件切换目标小区满足其对应的“条件切换执行条件”之前,UE判断波束恢复失败或者无线链路失败。
S670,UE选择一个条件切换目标小区。
UE可以选择条件切换目标小区列表中信号质量最好的小区,或者UE可以选择条件切换目标小区列表中质量好的波束个数最多的小区,或者UE可以根据自己的算法选择条件切换目标小区列表中的某个目标小区。
S680,UE接入所选择的目标小区。
S690,UE向目标小区发送RRCReconfigurationComplete。
可选实施例五
如可选实施例二所述,多个条件切换目标小区生成的条件切换命令(为便于区分描述,这里记为RRCReconfiguration-cond)被包含在源基站生成的RRCReconfiguration中发送给UE,其中RRCReconfiguration中包含源基站为该RRC消息分配的rrc-TransactionIdentifier,RRCReconfiguration-cond包含目标小区为该RRCReconfiguration-cond分配的rrc-TransactionIdentifier。UE在向源基站反馈RRCReconfigurationComplete消息时,携带源基站为RRCReconfiguration分配的rrc-TransactionIdentifier,UE在接入一个条件切换目标小区时,向目标小区反馈的RRCReconfigurationComplete消息中带UE所保存的该目标小区为RRCReconfiguration-cond消息分配的rrc-TransactionIdentifier。
如图9举例说明可选实施例五的实施流程图,包括:S701~S704,分别同可选实施例一S410,S420,S430,S440的说明。
需要说明的是,本可选实施例中,S704源基站为源基站生成的RRCReconfiguration消息分配的rrc-TransactionIdentifier为rrc-TransactionIdentifier1,RRCReconfiguration消息中包含一个条件切换目标小区X,该条件切换目标小区X的RRCReconfiguration-cond消息中的rrc-TransactionIdentifier为rrc-TransactionIdentifierX-1。
S705,UE收到S704后,向源基站反馈RRCReconfigurationComplete消息,消息中包含rrc-TransactionIdentifier1。
S706,源基站判断需要对已经配置给UE的信息进行配置更新。
比如本可选实施例中,源基站需要对源小区的配置参数(比如DRB配置)进行配置更新。
S707,源基站向UE发送RRCReconfiguration,该消息的rrc-TransactionIdentifier为rrc-TransactionIdentifier2,该消息中不包含任何条件切换目标小区信息。
S708,UE收到S707后,向源基站反馈RRCReconfigurationComplete消息,消息中包含rrc-TransactionIdentifier2。
S709,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求。
条件切换目标小区X的配置(包含在RRCReconfiguration-cond中)是由条件切换目标小区X根据源小区的配置信息配置的,因此当源小区的配置更新时,条件切换目标小区X的配置也需要相应更新。因此,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求。需要说明的是,S709,S707,S708三个步骤之间没有严格的时序关系,比如S709可以和S707同时发送。
S710,目标基站向源基站反馈切换请求响应,切换请求响应中包含更新后的条件切换目标小区X的配置信息,同样的,配置信息包含在由条件切换目标小区X生成的RRCReconfiguration-cond中,此时RRCReconfiguration-cond中包含的rrc-TransactionIdentifier为rrc-TransactionIdentifierX2。
S711,源基站向UE发送RRCReconfiguration,该消息的rrc-TransactionIdentifier为rrc-TransactionIdentifier3,该消息中包含从S710收到的条件切换目标小区X的RRCReconfiguration-cond(包含rrc-TransactionIdentifierX2)。
本可选实施例中,由于此时源小区的信号质量已经变的很差,RRCReconfiguration发送失败,即UE没有收到该消息。
S712,小区X满足“条件切换执行条件”。
S713,UE接入小区X。
S714,UE向小区X反馈RRCReconfigurationComplete消息,消息中包含rrc-TransactionIdentifierX-1。
当小区X收到RRCReconfigurationComplete后,通过rrc-TransactionIdentifierX-1可以判断UE接入小区X所使用的配置信息。
可选实施例六
以上所有可选实施例中,UE都通过随机接入接入条件切换目标小区。而有些部署场景下,UE无需通过随机接入接入条件切换目标小区,比如当条件切换目标小区和源基站之间TA相同或者UE和条件切换目标小区之间的TA为0。当UE无需在目标小区做随机接入时,这样的切换可以称之为无随机接入切换(RACH-less handover)。
现有切换技术中,采用RACH-less handover时,目标小区在收到源小区的切换请求后,采用以下两种操作中的其中一种。
操作1:为UE配置上行授权,将所配置的上行授权包含在目标小区生成的RRCReconfiguration消息中,RRCReconfiguration通过切换请求响应消息反馈给源基站,然后源基站将所收到的RRCReconfiguration发送给UE,UE收到RRCReconfiguration消息后,执行切换,用RRCReconfiguration中配置的上行授权直接在目标小区上发送上行数据。
操作2:目标基站生成RRCReconfiguration,RRCReconfiguration中不配置上行授权,但指示UE进行RACH-less handover。目标基站反馈切换请求响应消息给源基站之后,目标基站开始调度UE。RRCReconfiguration通过切换请求响应消息反馈给源基站,然后源基站将所收到的RRCReconfiguration发送给UE,UE收到RRCReconfiguration消息后,监听目标基站的调度,根据目标基站的调度直接在目标小区上发送上行数据或者接收下行数据。
上述两种操作中,目标基站需要提前配置上行授权或者提前开始调度UE,对于现有切换技术中,UE收到切换命令后直接执行切换,这种提前配置上行授权或者提前开始调度UE的机制并不会导致太多资源浪费。但是如果应用到条件切换流程中,由于切换准备是提前执行的,而真正的切换则要等到“条件切换执行条件”满足时才执行,因此会导致可观的资源浪费。为解决这个问题,这里提出两种方案。
方案一:条件切换目标小区在收到UE发送的SRS(Sounding Reference Signal)之后,所配置的上行授权才开始生效(若在条件切换命令(RRCReconfiguration)中配置了上行授权),或者条件切换目标小区才开始进行调度;
如图10为方案一的实施流程图,包括:S810~S820,分别同实施例一S410,S420。
S830,目标基站向源基站反馈切换请求响应。
切换请求响应中包含目标小区配置列表,可选的,目标小区生成的RRCReconfiguration中可以包含目标小区为UE提前配置的上行授权,是否配置上行授权,由目标小区根据自己的算法和策略决定。
若配置了上行授权,上行授权配置之后并不立即生效。
S840,源基站向UE发送条件切换命令。
S850,UE向源基站反馈RRCReconfigurationComplete消息。
S860,有目标小区X满足“条件切换执行条件”。
S870,UE向目标小区X发送SRS。
UE根据条件切换命令中目标小区X为UE配置的SRS,向目标小区X发送SRS。
S880,目标小区X收到来自UE的SRS之后,如果在S830中配置了上行授权,则生效所述上行授权。如果在S830中未配置上行授权,则开始调度所述 UE。
S890,UE向目标小区X反馈RRCReconfiguration complete消息。
方案二:条件切换目标小区在生成条件切换命令(RRCReconfiguration)后,启动定时器T,在定时器T超时之后,所配置的上行授权才开始生效(若在条件切换命令(RRCReconfiguration)中配置了上行授权),或者条件切换目标小区才开始进行调度。
如图11为方案二的实施流程图,包括:S910~S930,分别上述方案一S910,S920,S930。
S940,条件切换目标小区在生成条件切换命令(RRCReconfiguration)后,启动定时器T。
S950,同上述方案一S840。
S960,同上述方案一S850。
S970,定时器T超时,所配置的上行授权才开始生效(若在条件切换命令(RRCReconfiguration)中配置了上行授权),或者条件切换目标小区才开始进行调度。
S980,同上述方案一S860。
S990,同上述方案一S890。
通过以上的实施方式的描述,本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到根据上述实施例的方法可借助软件加必需的通用硬件平台的方式来实现,当然也可以通过硬件,但很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。基于这样的理解,本公开的技术方案本质上或者说对现有技术做出贡献的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来,该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质(如ROM/RAM、磁碟、光盘)中,包括若干指令用以使得一台终端设备(可以是手机,计算机,服务器,或者网络设备等)执行本公开各个实施例所述的方法。
实施例2
在本实施例中还提供了一种切换装置,该装置用于实现上述实施例及优选实施方式,已经进行过说明的不再赘述。如以下所使用的,术语“模块”可以实现预定功能的软件和/或硬件的组合。尽管以下实施例所描述的装置较佳地以软件来实现,但是硬件,或者软件和硬件的组合的实现也是可能并被构想的。
图12是根据本公开实施例的切换装置的结构框图,如图2所示,该装置包括:1)接收模块122,用于用户设备UE接收源基站发送的无线资源控制重配置消息,其中,该无线资源控制重配置消息中包括该UE进行条件切换的目标小区列表,该进行条件切换的目标小区列表中每个目标小区的信息包括以下至少之一:目标小区的频点信息、目标小区的物理小区标识、由目标小区生成的该目标小区的条件切换命令、至少一个测量配置标识信息,该测量配置标识信息用于指示该UE在该目标小区进行条件切换的执行条件;2)第一切换模块124,用于根据该无线资源控制重配置消息进行切换。
通过图12所示装置,相比于现有的条件切换仅选择一个目标小区,本公开 通过配置目标小区列表,从多个目标小区中选择一个目标小区,进而解决了相关技术中测量报告或切换命令发送失败导致的切换失败的问题,提高了移动性能。
在一个可选地实施方式中,上述目标小区的条件切换命令,由上述目标小区通过接口消息发送至上述源基站;其中,上述接口消息中包括目标小区配置列表,上述目标小区配置列表中每个目标小区的配置包括:目标小区的小区全局标识CGI、目标小区的条件切换命令,以及以下信息之一:目标小区上成功接纳的协议数据单元PDU会话信息、目标小区上成功接纳的演进的无线接入承载E-RAB信息。
可选地,上述目标小区的条件切换命令中包含上述目标小区为上述条件切换命令分配的无线资源控制RRC消息传输标识。
可选地,在上述进行条件切换的目标小区列表中每个目标小区的信息包括上述至少一个测量配置标识信息时,上述装置还包括:修改或增加上述测量配置标识信息所关联的测量对象配置中上述目标小区的小区级偏移。
