具体实施方式
本申请提供了一种小区切换的方法、装置及系统,用以解决现有技术中终端设备在小区切换时较易切换失败的问题。
需要理解的是,在本申请的描述中,“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序;在本申请实施例中多个指两个或两个以上;在本申请中所述终端设备当前连接的基站为源基站,需要切换到的基站为目标基站,所述源基站所在小区为源小区,所述目标基站所在小区为目标小区。
如图1所示为一种常见的小区切换的方法,主要可以分为三个过程:UE测量过程,切换判决和切换准备过程以及切换执行过程,该方法包括如下步骤:
S101、所述源基站向UE发送测量控制(measurement control)消息;
S102、所述UE接收来自所述源基站的测量控制消息后,根据所述测量控制消息,对服务小区和邻小区的进行测量。
具体的,所述UE可以对服务小区以及邻小区的资源块上发送的信号的信号质量进行测量。
S103、当所述UE对服务小区和邻小区测量的测量结果满足测量上报条件时,所述UE向所述源基站上报测量报告(measurement report,MR)消息。
所述源基站通知所述UE对服务小区和邻小区的进行测量时,会告知所述UE测量上报条件,例如,所述基站会告知所述UE周期性的上报测量结果,所述基站也可以告知所述UE在测量的邻小区的资源块上的发送的信号的信号质量高于某一阈值时上报测量结果,上述测量上报的条件均是举例说明,事实上,测量上报条件均可以根据具体的应用场景进行设定。
S101~S103为UE测量过程,在该过程中,所述UE根据所述源基站下发的测量控制信息对服务小区以及邻小区进行测量,并向所述源基站上报测量结果。
S104、所述源基站基于所述UE的测量结果做出切换判决,为所述UE选择目标基站。
所述源基站可以包括无线资源管理(radio resource management,RRM)模块,所述源基站中的RRM模块用于负责基站的功率控制、基站负载控制、移动性管理以及信道分配等功能。在小区切换过程中,所述源基站中的RRM模块可以根据源基站自身的负载情况、业务的服务质量(quality of service,QOS)要求等结合所述UE上报的测量结果进行判断,确定是否需要将所述UE切换到其他小区。在确定所述UE需要切换到其他小区后,所述源基站可以基于所述UE上报的测量结果为所述UE选择目标小区,例如,所述源基站可以按照小区频点优先级和小区信号质量,从高到底进行筛选,进而选出满足切换条件、频点优先级最高的小区中信号质量最强的小区做为目标小区。
S105、所述源基站向所述目标基站发送切换请求(handover request,HO Request)消息。
S106、所述目标基站接收到所述HO Request消息后,进行切换准入判断,如果允许UE切换到目标小区,则为所述UE分配专用的准入资源。
所述目标基站也可以包括RRM模块,所述RRM模块的相关描述参见前述内容,此处不再赘述,在所述目标基站接收到所述HO Request消息后,所述目标基站中的RRM模块根据所述目标基站自身的负载情况、业务的QOS要求确定是否允许所述UE接入,若允许所述UE接入所述目标小区,则所述目标基站为所述UE分配专用的准入资源,以便所述UE可以根据所述准入资源接入所述目标小区。
S107、所述目标基站向所述源基站发送切换肯定应答(HO Request ACK)消息,所述 HO Request ACK消息中携带所述UE接入目标小区所需的信息。
具体的,所述UE接入目标小区所需的信息包括空口信令面和用户面的承载建立所需的无线资源配置信息。
S104~S107为切换判决和切换准备过程,在该过程中,所述源基站为所述终端设备选择所述目标基站并获取所述终端设备接入所述目标小区所需的信息。
S108、所述源基站向所述UE发送切换指示(HO Command)消息,所述HO Command消息中携带所述UE切换到目标小区所需的信息。
S109、所述UE接收到来自所述源基站的HO Command消息后,开始执行切换。例如,所述UE先中断与所述源基站的连接,之后与所述目标基站建立同步。
S110、所述UE向所述目标基站发送第一随机接入消息(MSG1),用于请求接入目标小区,其中,所述MSG1携带所述UE为接入所述目标小区选择的前导码(preamble)。
S111、所述目标基站在接收到MSG1后,向所述UE发送第二随机接入消息(MSG2),所述MSG2中携带上行调度资源信息。
S112、所述UE向所述目标基站发送切换确认(HO Confirm)消息。
所述目标基站在接收到HO Confirm消息后,可以确定所述UE已连接到所述目标小区,完成了小区切换。
S113、所述目标基站接收来自所述UE的HO Confirm消息后,向所述源基站发送终端设备资源释放(UE Resource Release)消息,通知所述源基站释放所述终端设备占用的资源。
S108~S113为切换执行过程,在该过程中,所述UE与所述目标基站执行了随机接入过程,所述目标基站通知所述源基站释放所述UE占用的资源。
从如上的小区切换过程,可以发现在UE测量过程中,所述UE对服务小区以及邻小区进行测量,伪基站会仿冒所述邻小区中真正的基站向所述终端设备发送测量信号,在测量时并不能识别出测试结果是针对自所述邻小区中真正的基站还是针对伪基站,若所述测量结果针对所述伪基站,且所述邻小区中真正的基站与所述UE之间的信号较弱,则会导致在执行小区切换时,所述源基站会根据针对伪基站的测量结果确定所述UE需要切换的基站是所述邻小区中真正的基站,所述UE切换到的所述邻小区中真正的基站后,由于所述邻小区中真正的基站与所述UE之间的信号较差,使得切换失败,进而导致所述UE业务中断、掉话。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种小区切换的方法、装置及系统,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。方法实施例中的具体操作方法也可以应用于装置实施例或系统实施例中。
为了方便区别第一基站和第二基站,在本申请方法实施例中将所述第一基站作为当前终端设备连接的基站,为源基站;所述第二基站为所述终端设备需要切换的基站,为目标基站。
实际上,所述第一基站在所述终端设备切换之后,也就是说,所述终端设备与所述第一基站未连接时,所述第一基站也会成为所述终端设备需要切换的基站,也就是说,所述第一基站也可以成为目标基站,在此种情况下,所述第一基站执行的方法可以参见所述第二基站(在本申请实施例中为目标基站)所执行的方法,当然所述第一基站也可能是其他终端设备在进行小区切换时的目标基站,在这种情况下,所述第一基站执行的方法也可以 参见所述第二基站(在本申请实施例中为目标基站)所执行的方法,此处不再赘述。
如图2所示,为本申请的一种可能的网络架构示意图。包括终端设备、源基站和目标基站。所述终端设备通过无线接口与所述源基站、所述目标基站进行通信。所述源基站与所述目标基站之间可以通过有线连接进行通信,如通过X2接口,Xn接口进行通信,或者还可以通过空口的方式进行通信。
在本申请实施例中,所述源基站在确定了所述目标基站之后,向所述目标基站发送切换请求,从所述目标基站获取所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号的信息;将所述导频信号的信息携带在测量控制消息中,指示所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,并从所述终端设备获取所述导频信号的信号质量,在确定所述导频信号的信号质量满足切换条件后,执行针对所述终端设备的小区切换过程。
所述终端设备可以在接收到所述源基站的测量控制消息后,对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,并向所述源基站上报所述导频信号的信号质量。
所述目标基站在接收来自所述源基站的切换请求后,将所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号的信息携带在切换响应消息,向所述源基站发送所述切换响应消息。
本申请中的终端设备,又可称之为用户设备(user equipment,UE),可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持或车载;也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等);还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线设备、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线设备等等。
基站,本申请涉及的基站为源基站和目标基站,是一种为终端设备提供无线通信功能的设备,包括但不限于:5G中的下一代基站(gnodeB,gNB)、演进型节点B(evolved node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved nodeB,或home node B,HNB)、基带单元(BaseBand Unit,BBU)、传输点(transmitting and receiving point,TRP)、发射点(transmitting point,TP)、移动交换中心等。
基于现有的小区切换场景,可以将小区切换的场景分为必要型切换场景以及非必要型切换场景,下面对这两类切换场景进行介绍:
第一类、必要型切换场景。
在这类切换场景中,所述终端设备已经无法继续在所述源小区进行业务,必须进行小区切换,否则会掉话。
例如,由于所述终端设备的移动性,所述终端设备移动范围超出了所述源小区的覆盖范围,为了保证所述终端设备的业务连续性,需要进行小区切换。
又例如,由于当前所述源小区的网络性能变差,上行链路服务质量已低于阈值,无法为所述终端设备提供服务,为了所述终端设备能够继续进行业务,需要进行小区切换。
上述场景仅是举例说明,事实上,必要型切换场景有许多种,此处不再一一列举。
第二类、非必要型切换场景。
在这类切换场景中,所述终端设备需要根据一些网络部署策略或者网络指令进行小区切换,若未切换成功,所述终端设备仍可以在所述源小区进行业务。
例如,当所述源基站的所在的源小区负载过高,为了平衡所述源小区的负载,可以基于负载均衡策略对所述终端设备进行切换。
又例如,为了所述终端设备进行业务的小区网络性能更好,可以在小区切换时,使所述终端设备切换到小区网络性能更好的小区,其中,包括基于业务的切换以及基于频率优先级的切换。
上述场景仅是举例说明,事实上,非必要型切换场景有许多种,此处不再一一列举。
本申请实施例并不限定小区切换的场景,本申请实施例提供的小区切换的方法可以应用在必要型切换场景中,也可以应用于非必要型切换场景中。
在本申请实施例中,所述源基站在确定了目标基站之后,并不会直接将所述终端设备切换到目标小区,而是需要所述终端设备对所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号的信号质量进行测量,在所述导频信号的信号质量满足切换条件后,才将对所述终端设备执行切换过程,采用本申请实施例的方式,在确定了目标基站后还需要确定所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号的信号质量,以保证所述终端设备在后续切换时可以连接到真正的基站上,进一步能够确保了小区切换的成功,可以避免所述终端设备因为切换失败而造成的掉话。
下面对本申请提供的一种小区切换的方法进行详细介绍,如图3所示,该方法包括:
S301、所述源基站根据来自终端设备的测量报告确定需要切换到的目标基站。
所述源基站在确定所述目标基站时,需要先接收所述终端设备上报的测量报告,所述测量报告是所述终端对服务小区和邻小区的测量结果,所述源基站基于所述测量报告,从邻小区中为所述终端设备选择一个基站作为目标基站,选择的依据可以是根据预设的选择规则,例如选择优先级高或者服务质量好的小区中的基站作为目标基站。
一种可能的实施方式,所述源基站在确定所述目标基站时,可以根据负载均衡策略确定所述终端设备需要切换的目标基站。
若当前所述源基站所在小区的负载过高,为了降低源基站的所在小区的负载,实现负载均衡,可以根据各个小区的负载选择一个负载较小的小区中的基站作为所述目标基站。
另一种可能的实施方式,所述源基站在确定所述目标基站时,可以基于终端设备的业务的服务质量等级标识(QoS Class Identifier,QCI)确定所述目标基站,也可以基于终端设备的业务请求确定所述目标基站,也可以基于小区的频率优先级确定所述目标基站。下面对上述三种确定目标基站的方式进行说明:
第一种、所述源基站基于所述终端设备的QCI确定所述目标基站。
不同QCI的业务,对承载业务的频点的需求不同,所述源基站在确定了QCI业务后,可以将该QCI业务优先建立到该QCI业务期望的某个频点上,进而确定该频点对应的小区中的基站为目标基站。
第二种、所述源基站基于所述终端设备的业务请求确定所述目标基站。
例如当前处于业务分层场景,不同的业务需要在不同的小区执行;又例如,有些小区对一些特定的业务存在限制,如有些小区无LTE网络语音业务(voice over Long Term Evolution,VoLTE)语音业务运营牌照,则不能进行语音业务。
此时,所述源基站可以将所述终端设备切换到允许进行终端设备的业务的小区中,进 而确定所述目标基站,以保证业务的连续性。
第三种、所述源基站基于小区的频率优先级确定所述目标基站。
例如,为了保证所述终端设备的业务能够较大可能的承载在高频段,且保证低频段的空闲,进而保证连续覆盖;基于这一特性,所述源基站可以基于频率优先级确定频段较高的小区,进而确定所述目标基站。
需要说明的是,上述三种确定所述目标基站的方式仅是举例说明,本申请实施例并不限定。
从上述三种可能的实施方式中,可以看出,基于负载均衡策略、终端设备的业务的QCI所述终端设备的业务的QCI或所述终端设备的业务请求确定所述目标基站的方式均属于非必要型切换场景下的小区切换;也就是说,所述源基站在非必要型切换场景下,可以采用本申请实施例提供的小区切换方法,而上述两种可能的实施方式也仅是举例说明,事实上,在其他非必要型切换场景本申请实施例提供的小区切换的方法也适用,当然,在必要型切换场景,也可以采用本申请实施例提供的小区切换的方法,本申请并不限定。
通过上述两种可能实施方式,使得所述源基站采用较为灵活的方式确定所述目标基站,也可以使得所述终端设备可以在切换后更好的进行业务。
S302、所述源基站在确定所述终端设备需要切换的目标基站后,向所述目标基站发送切换请求。
S303、所述目标基站接收来自所述源基站的切换请求,并在接收来自所述源基站的切换请求后,向所述源基站发送切换响应消息,所述切换响应消息中包括所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号的信息。
所述源基站在确定了所述目标基站后,需要向所述目标基站发送切换请求,以通知所述目标基站所述终端设备需要进行小区切换。而所述目标基站在接收到所述切换请求后,若同意所述终端设备接入,则会向所述源基站发送切换响应消息,并且所述切换响应消息中携带所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号的信息。
其中,所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号是所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的用户级的导频信号,为所述终端设备独有,且所述导频信号的信息是通过安全的通道发送给所述终端设备的,只有所述终端设备可以获取。
具体的,所述导频信号的信息可以是所述导频信号的标识信息,也可以是其他标识信息,本申请并不限定所述导频信号的信息的类型,凡事能够使得所述源基站可以确定所述导频信号的信息均适用于本申请实施例。
所述切换响应消息中包括所述导频信号的信息,可以使所述源基站触发所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,而不是直接使所述终端设备接入所述目标小区,可以确保所述目标基站不是伪基站,进一步保证所述终端设备能够成功切换至所述目标小区,可以保证所述终端设备在进行小区切换后不会掉话,继续业务。
S304、所述源基站接收到来自所述目标基站的切换响应消息,向所述终端设备发送测量控制消息,所述测量控制消息包括所述导频信号的信息,所述测量控制信息可用于指示所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量。
所述源基站在接收到所述目标基站的切换响应消息后,确定所述目标基站允许所述终端设备接入,则向所述终端发送所述测量控制消息,指示所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,所述测量控制消息中携带所述导频信号的信息。
其中,本申请并不限定所述测量控制消息指示所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量的方式,例如,可以在所述测量控制消息中增加信元,所述信元指示述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,也可以设置所述测量控制消息的消息类型,所述消息类型为指示测量信号质量的消息类型,只要所述终端设备在接收到该种消息类型的所述测量控制消息可以确定需要对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,也可以采用其他方式,本申请实施例并不限定,凡是可以指示所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量的方式均适用于本申请实施例。
可选的,所述源基站向所述终端设备发送测量控制消息之前,可以先确定若所述终端设备切换失败,所述源基站仍可以为所述终端设备提供服务,也就是说,在非必要型切换场景下,所述源基站可以向所述终端设备发送所述测量控制消息。
若当前处于必要型切换场景,所述源基站已无法为所述终端设备继续提供服务,所述终端设备存在掉话的可能性,为了避免所述终端设备业务中断,可以直接针对所述终端设备执行切换过程,而不需要向所述终端设备发送测量控制消息,触发所述终端设备对所述导频信号的测量过程。
S305、所述终端设备接收来自所述源基站的测量控制消息,所述终端设备根据所述测量控制消息对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量。
所述终端设备接收来自所述源基站的测量控制消息后,确定需要对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,之后,根据所述测量控制消息中携带的所述导频信号的信息接收所述导频信号,对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量。
所述测量控制消息中还可以包括所述导频信号对应的时频资源信息,所述终端设备在接到所述测量控制信息后,可以在所述导频信号对应的时频资源上接收所述导频信号。
所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量,可以通过所述导频信号的参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)或者参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)反映所述导频信号的信号质量。上述测量所述导频信号的信号质量的方法均是举例说明,事实上,所述终端设备还可以通过测量所述导频信号的信息其他属性反映所述导频信号的信号质量,本申请实施例并不限定。
所述终端设备在对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量后,可以直接执行步骤306,也可以先对测量确定的所述导频信号的信号质量进行进一步的确定,在确定满足上报条件后,再执行步骤306。
一种可能的实施方式中,上报条件可以是所述导频信号的信号质量大于设定阈值,也就是说,当所述导频信号的信号质量大于设定阈值,则执行步骤306,否则不执行步骤306,在不满足上报条件时,也可以向所述源基站发送通知消息,告知所述源基站所述导频信号的信号质量不满足条件,触发所述源基站为所述终端设备重新选择目标基站。
S306、所述终端设备向所述源基站发送所述测量响应消息,所述测量响应消息中包括所述导频信号的信号质量。
所述终端设备在对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量之后,可以向所述源基站发送所述测量响应消息,在所述测量响应消息中携带所述终端设备对所述导频信号的信号质量进行测量后得到的测量结果。
S307、所述源基站接收来自所述终端设备的测量响应消息,确定所述导频信号的信号质量是否满足切换条件。
具体的,所述切换条件有许多种,例如所述切换条件为所述导频信号的信号质量大于第一阈值,当所述导频信号的信号质量大于第一阈值,则执行步骤308,否则不执行小区切换;又例如,所述切换条件为所述导频信号的信号质量与所述源基站的小区参考信号的信号质量的差值大于第二阈值,当所述导频信号的信号质量与所述源基站的小区参考信号的信号质量的差值大于第二阈值,则执行步骤308,否则不执行小区切换,上述两种切换条件仅是举例说明,事实上,本申请实施例并不限定所述切换条件,在具体实施中,可以根据场景,进行设置。
S308、所述源基站在确定所述导频信号的信号质量满足切换条件后,执行针对所述终端设备的小区切换过程。
所述源基站若确定所述导频信号的信号质量满足切换条件,则说明所述终端设备可以切换到所述目标小区,则开始执行针对所述终端设备的小区切换过程,所述执行针对所述终端设备的小区切换过程可以参见图1所示的实施例中S108~S113的切换执行过程,此处不再赘述。
所述源基站若确定所述导频信号的信号质量不满足切换条件后,向所述目标基站发送切换中止消息。
所述源基站若确定所述导频信号的信号质量不满足切换条件,则说明所述终端设备无法切换到所述目标基站所在小区,所述源基站需要告知所述目标基站切换取消,向所述目标基站发送切换中止消息。所述目标基站在接收到来自所述源基站的切换中止消息后,可以确定所述终端设备无法切换,不需要为所述终端设备分配资源。
所述源基站还可以向所述终端设备发生切换失败消息,通知所述终端设备无法切换至所述目标基站。
如图3所示的小区切换的方法可以与现有技术中小区切换的方法结合,下面通过一个具体的实施例将本申请中小区切换的方法可以与现有技术中小区切换的方法结合对如图3所示的实施例进行进一步说明。
如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的另一种小区切换的方法,以所述目标基站为所述终端设备分配的导频信号为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),测量响应消息为第二MR消息为例进行说明,该方法包括:
S401、所述源基站向UE下发第一测量控制(measurement control)信息;
S402、所述UE接收来自所述源基站的第一测量控制信息,根据所述第一测量控制信息对服务小区和邻小区的测量。当测量结果满足测量上报条件时,所述UE向所述源基站发送第一MR消息。
S401~S402为UE测量过程,具体执行过程可参见S101~S103,此处不再赘述。
S403、与S104相同,可参见前述内容,此处不再赘述。
S404、与S105相同,可参见前述内容,此处不再赘述。

所述源基站在接收到所述HO Request ACK消息后,若所述HO Request ACK消息中包 括CSI-RS信息,则可以触发所述终端设备进行二次测量、以及所述源基站进行再次判决过程。
需要说明的是,二次测量指进行对所述CSI-RS的信号质量的测量,由于在如图4所示的实施例中所述终端设备在S402已经进行了一次对服务小区和邻小区的测量,故将对所述CSI-RS的信号质量的测量称为二次测量;相应的,再次判决过程指所述源基站基于对所述CSI-RS的信号质量的测量结果的判决过程,由于在S403所述源基站基于所述终端设备上报的测量结果已经进行了一次切换判决,故此处将所述源基站对所述CSI-RS的信号质量的测量结果的判决称为再次判决。
所述源基站也可以在所述HO Request ACK消息中包括CSI-RS信息的情况下,且当前小区切换的场景为非必要型小区切换场景,触发所述终端设备进行二次测量、以及所述源基站进行再次判决过程。
S407、所述UE接收来自所述源基站的第二测量控制消息,之后,根据所述第二测量控制消息对所述CSI-RS的信号质量进行测量。
S408、所述UE向所述源基站发送第二MR消息,所述第二MR消息中包括所述UE对所述CSI-RS的信号质量进行测量的测量结果,也就是说,所述第二MR消息中包括所述CSI-RS的信号质量。
S409、所述源基站接收到来自所述UE的第二MR消息后,所述源基站根据所述第二MR消息进行切换判决,确定所述CSI-RS的信号质量是否满足切换条件。
若所述CSI-RS信号质量,满足切换条件则执行S410A。
S410A、所述源基站针对所述终端设备执行小区切换过程,在该过程中,所述UE与所述目标基站执行了随机接入过程,并且所述目标基站通知所述源基站释放所述UE占用的资源,具体可参见S108~S113,此处不再赘述。

S410B、所述源基站向所述目标基站发送切换中止(handover cancel,HO cancel)消息,告知所述目标基站取消切换。
可选的,所述源基站可以在本地记录此次切换的异常信息,用于网络维护,异常信息的记录有助于所述源基站对伪基站的进行识别。
