Description

一种小区的配置方法和装置
本申请要求于2018年9月27日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为201811133832.5、申请名称为“一种小区的配置方法和装置”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
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种小区的配置方法和装置。
背景技术
随着垂直行业的引入不断增加,使得运营商的无线网络结构越来越复杂;网络运维难度也越来越高。因此,快速部署网络以满足多样性化的业务,简化网络运维流程,从而降低网络运维成本是网络运维亟需解决的问题。管理无线网络通常可以理解为管理无线网络中的通信设备(例如,基站)。无线网络中通常包括很多基站,而一个基站也可以覆盖多个小区。由此可见,无线网络中的小区数量众多,小区之间的邻区关系复杂,导致对小区的管理也及其复杂。
实际过程中,运营商可以将源基站管理下的小区从源基站迁移到目的基站来管理。比如对于基站1管理下的小区1,运营商希望由基站2来管理小区1,小区1从基站1转移到基站2来管理,该过程可以被称为小区1的迁移。
现有技术,采用全配置的方式来实现小区迁移,即运营商管理系统采用配置接口至少执行以下步骤实现小区迁移:
S1、从设备商管理系统获取源小区的所有配置信息和邻区关系。例如,包括源小区标识,频点信息等。S2、请求设备商管理系统在目的基站管理对象下新建小区,并将源小区的配置信息配置到新建小区。S3、根据源小区的邻区关系,请求设备商管理系统配置新建小区的邻区关系。S4、根据源小区的邻区关系,请求设备商管理系统配置目的小区的外部小区。S5、请求设备商管理系统删除源小区。S6、请求设备商管理系统配置源小区的外部小区。
但是,如果源基站中的小区数量非常多,且源小区的邻区关系复杂,使用现有的配置机制,运营商和设备商之间需要大量地交互来实现小区迁移,效率低下。此外,运营商管理系统需要获取所有小区关系信息,但是,不同的设备商管理系统小区关系描述不一致,这导致运营商管理系统需要花费很大精力来执行小区迁移过程中邻区的配置。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种小区的配置方法和装置,用以减少小区迁移过程中的信令交互,提高小区迁移效率。
为了达到上述目的,本申请实施例提供如下解决方案:

具体实施方式
在介绍本申请实施例之前对本申请实施例涉及到的名词进行解释:
1)、小区(Cell):也称蜂窝小区,是指在蜂窝移动通信系统中,一个接入网设备或接入网设备的一部分天线所覆盖的区域,在这个区域内终端可以通过无线信道可靠地与接入网设备进行通信。本申请实施例中的接入网设备可以为基站、中继节点(relay node,简称RN)、接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,简称IAB)节点等。下文中以接入网设备为基站为例对本申请实施例提供的方法作示例性说明,即下文中的基站均可以替换为接入网设备。
2)、相邻小区(Neighbor Cell):可以简称邻区,是指两个覆盖有重叠并设置有切换关系的小区,一个小区可以和多个小区相邻。终端在移动状态下可以在相邻小区之间进行业务的平滑切换,从而保证正在进行的业务不会中断。例如,添加了邻区,终端才可以在不同网络(例如,全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile  Communication,GSM)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)、长期演进(Long time Evolution,LTE)、新空口(New Radio,NR))之间切换。
3)、外部小区(External Cell):一个基站中的信息,该信息用于描述其他基站所覆盖的、且与该基站的小区相邻的小区,该信息可以用于终端作小区切换时使用。其他基站与该基站可以由一个基站管理单元管理,也可以由不同的基站管理单元管理。
4)、邻区关系(Cell Relation):用于指示两个小区为相邻小区的信息,两个小区中一个小区为源小区,另一小区为目标小区,邻区关系被包含在源小区中,用于描述与源小区关联的目标小区。邻区关系为源小区的邻区关系。
示例性的,如图1所示,小区1和小区2为相邻小区,外部小区2是基站1的外部小区,外部小区2用于描述小区2,外部小区2中可以包含终端作小区切换时需要使用的信息,例如,小区2的标识,小区2的频点,基站2的标识等。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统。例如:全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communication,简称GSM)、演进通用无线陆地接入(evolved universal terrestrial radio access,简称E-UTRA)系统、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunications system,简称UMTS)以及UMTS演进版本、长期演进(long term evolution,简称LTE)和基于LTE演进的各种版本、第五代(5th-generation,简称5G)通信系统、以及新空口(new radio,简称NR)等下一代通信系统中。此外,上述通信系统还可以适用于面向未来的通信技术,都适用本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其他实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
本申请中,“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。本申请实施例中A或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。
另外,为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案,在本申请的实施例中,采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。
本申请实施例描述的系统架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对 于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
如图2所示,图2示出了本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统,该通信系统包括:无线管理服务使用者(无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)管理服务(Management Service,MS)Consumer)以及与无线管理服务使用者通信的N个无线管理功能(RAN Management Function,RAN MF)。其中,N为大于或等于1的整数。
RAN MS使用者可以为运营商设备,RAN MF可以为设备商设备,不同的RAN MF管理的基站可以为不同厂商的基站。
RAN MF也可以称为无线管理功能、基站管理单元、基站管理功能等,RAN MS也可以称为无线管理服务、基站管理服务等,下文中将RAN MF称为管理功能单元,RAN MS使用者称为基站管理服务使用者。为了方便描述,下文中的第一小区对应的RAN MF记为第一管理功能单元,第一基站对应的RAN MF记为第二管理功能单元,无线管理服务使用者记为第四管理功能单元。
如图2所示,每个RAN MF可以管理一个或者多个基站。例如,RAN MF1管理基站101和基站102。RAN MF2管理基站201。RAN MF3管理基站301、基站302,和基站303。
应理解,图2中每个RAN MF管理的基站数量可以多于图2所示的数量,也可以少于图2所示的数量。
其中,每个基站可以覆盖一个或者多个小区(Cell)。例如,基站101覆盖小区1011,基站102覆盖小区1012。
应理解,图2中以基站101和基站102覆盖的小区为例,在实际过程中每个基站覆盖的小区数量可以大于1个。
其中,RAN MF主要对外提供RAN管理服务,包括生命周期管理服务,配置管理服务,故障管理服务,性能管理服务等。
无线管理服务使用者,主要为使用RAN管理服务的管理功能,可以为RAN管理功能,也可以为网络管理功能(Network Management Function,Network MF)。此处的网络管理功能可以为网络切片管理功能(network slice management function,NSMF)或者网络切片子网管理功能(network slice subnet management function,NSSMF)。
其中,NSMF:负责网络切片实例(network slice instance,NSI)的创建、激活、运行、去激活、删除等整个生命周期管理。在网络切片实例运行阶段,NSMF创建网络切片实例的性能测量任务,设置性能测量阈值,接收性能测量数据,以及接收性能测量超过阈值的通知。其中,上述性能测量任务包括网络切片实例业务关键指标的测量和网络切片实例所使用的虚拟资源(virtual resource,VR)的测量。
具体的,一个网络切片包括无线接入网,传输网和核心网等几个部分,每个部分可以认为是一个网络切片的子网,对应的有一个网络切片子网管理功能(network slice subnet management function,NSSMF)负责对其进行管理。在本文中,可以将NSMF和NSSMF统称为网络切片管理功能NSMF,不再具体区分。
终端是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。例如,终端可以为具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。终端也可以称为用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户单元(User Unit)、用户站(User Station)、 移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远方站(Remote Station)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、移动设备(Mobile Equipment)、用户终端(User Terminal)、无线通信设备(Wireless Telecom Equipment)、用户代理(User Agent)、用户装备(User Equipment)或用户装置。终端可以是无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)中的站点(Station,STA),可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)设备、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统(例如,第五代(Fifth-Generation,5G)通信网络)中的终端或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络中的终端等。其中,5G还可以被称为新空口(New Radio,NR)。
作为示例,在本申请实施例中,该终端还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
由于未来基站可以采用云无线接入网(cloud radio access network,C-RAN)架构来实现。一种可能的方式是将传统基站的协议栈架构和功能分割为两部分,一部分称为集中单元(central unit,CU),另一部分称为分布单元(distributed unit,DU)。其中,如图2所示,多个基站的CU部分集成在一起,组成一个规模较大的功能实体。多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。如图3所示,CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分,例如分组数据汇聚层协议层(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)及以上协议层(例如,无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC))的功能设置在CU。PDCP以下的协议层,例如无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)、媒体接入控制层(medium access control,MAC)和物理层(Physical layer,PHY)等的功能设置在DU。
可以理解的是,图3所示的协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例,还可以在其它协议层划分,例如在RLC层划分,将RLC层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,RLC层以下协议层的功能设置在DU。或者,在某个协议层中划分,例如将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU,将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。此外,也可以按其它方式划分,例如按时延划分,将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU,不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
此外,请继续参考图4,相对于图3示的架构,还可以将CU的控制面(control plane,CP)和用户面(user plane,UP)分离,分成不同实体来实现,分别为控制面CU实体(CU-CP实体)和用户面CU实体(CU-UP实体)。
在以上网络架构中,CU产生的数据可以通过DU发送给终端。或者终端产生的数据可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该数据进行解析而直接通过协议层封装后传给终端或CU。例如,RRC或PDCP层的数据最终会处理为物理层(physical layer,PHY)的数据发送给终端,或者,由接收到的PHY层的数据转变而来。在这种架构下,该RRC或PDCP层的数据,即也可以认为是由DU发送的。
在以上实施例中CU划分为RAN中基站,此外,也可以将CU划分为核心网CN中的基站,在此不做限制。
本申请以下实施例中的装置,根据其实现的功能,可以位于终端或基站。当采用以上CU-DU的结构时,基站可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点功能的RAN设备。
可以理解的是,当基站可以划分为CU或DU时。如图5所示,如果一个接入网设备覆盖一个或者多个小区可以指该接入网设备的CU覆盖一个或者多个小区,也可以指该基站的DU覆盖一个或者多个小区。如图5所示,CU或DU覆盖的小区可以为小区1~小区4,小区6~小区8。
本申请实施例中的基站可以是2G、3G、4G、5G以及未来移动通信系统中的基站。由于基站所属的通信系统不同,基站对应的网络制式和类型不同,基站覆盖的小区的种类也存在差异,因此下述将以基站对应的网络制式为长期演进(long time evolution,LTE)和新空口(New Radio,NR)为例分别介绍:
应理解,当基站位于LTE系统(也可以称为演进的通用陆基无线接入(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN))时,基站对应的网络制式为LTE,也可以称为4G网络。本申请实施例中可以将4G网络或者LTE网络中的基站称为4G基站。当基站位于NR系统中时,基站对应的网络制式为NR,也可以称为5G网络。本申请实施例中可以将5G网络或者NR网络中的基站称为5G基站。下述实施例但凡涉及到此类描述,均可以参考此处,后续不再赘述。
示例性的,当基站位于E-UTRAN中时,基站为演进型基站(evolved Node Base Station,eNB),因此,E-UTRAN中基站覆盖的小区可以称为EUTRAN小区。
当基站位于NR中时,基站为下一代基站或者5G基站(Generation Node Base Station,gNB),因此,NR中基站覆盖的小区可以称为NR小区。
当基站为下一代基站或者5G基站的集中单元(Generation Node Base Station Centralized Unit,gNBCU),或者下一代基站或者5G基站集中单元的控制面(Generation Node Base Station Centralized Unit Control Plane,gNBCUCP)或者下一代基站或者5G基站的集中单元的用户面(Generation Node Base Station Centralized Unit user plane,gNBCUUP)中的任一个时,该基站覆盖的小区可以为NRCellCU。
当基站为下一代基站或者5G基站分布单元(Generation Node Base Station Distributed Unit,gNBDU),或者下一代基站或者5G基站分布单元的控制面(Generation Node Base Station Distributed Unit Control Plane,gNBCUCP)或者下一代基站或者5G基站的分布单元的用户面(Generation Node Base Station Distributed Unit user plane,gNBCUUP)中的任一个时,该基站覆盖的小区可以为NRCellDU。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的基站也可以称为基站功能(Function),例如, 上述eNB也可以称为eNB Function。gNB也可以称为gNB Function。GNBCU也可以称为GNBCUFunction。gNBCUCP,也可以称为gNBCUCPFunctin。gNBDU也可以称为gNBDUFunction。
本申请实施例中的一种小区的配置装置方法的执行主体可以是一种小区的配置装置装置,该小区的配置装置可以为第一管理功能单元,也可以为应用于第一管理功能单元中的芯片。下述实施例将以一种小区的配置装置方法的执行主体为第一管理功能单元为例。对于其他方法的执行主体也可以采用相同的描述,后续不再赘述。
实施例一
如图6所示,本申请实施例提供的一种小区的配置装置方法示意图,该方法包括:
步骤101、第一管理功能单元获取第一消息,该第一消息包括:第一小区的信息和第一基站的信息。
其中,第一小区的信息包括第一小区的标识或第一小区的管理对象标识中的至少一个。第一基站的信息包括第一基站的标识或第一基站的管理对象标识中的至少一个。第一基站的信息用于确定第一小区关联的基站,第一小区关联第一基站之前与第二基站关联。
应理解,在未将第一小区关联至第二基站之前,第一小区的标识为该第一小区在第二基站下的标识,用于识别第一小区。具体的,第一小区的标识可以参考下述小区的逻辑标识。
其中,第一小区的管理对象标识用于识别第一小区的管理对象,第一小区的管理对象用于描述第一小区的信息。例如,第一小区的信息可以为第一小区的管理信息,包括小区的频点,带宽,PCI等。
具体的,第一小区的管理对象标识可以由第一小区的类型和管理对象实例(Managed Object Instance,MOI)Id/区别名称(Distinguish Name)确定。例如,当第一小区为EutranCell时,第一小区的管理对象标识为EutranCell管理对象实例(Managed Object Instance,MOI)Id/区别名称(Distinguish Name)。当第一小区为NRCell时,第一小区的管理对象标识为NRCell MOI Id/Distinguish Name。当第一小区为NRCellCU时,第一小区的管理对象标识为NRCellCU MOI Id/Distinguish Name。当第一小区为NRCellDU时,第一小区的管理对象标识为NRCellDU MOI Id/Distinguish Name。下述但凡涉及到小区的管理对象标识均可以参考此处的描述,后续不再赘述。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,对于EutranCell MOI也可以称为演进型小区信息对象实例Instance of EutranCell(Information Object Class,IOC)。NRCell MOI也可以称为Instance of NRCell IOC,类似的,对于NRCellCU MOI,NRCellDU MOI也可以采用相同的描述。
示例性的,第一基站的管理对象标识用于识别第一基站的管理对象。应理解,第一基站的标识用于识别第一基站。
应理解,上述第一基站的管理对象标识可以由第二小区的信息替换,其中,第二小区与第一基站关联。
第二小区的信息包括第二小区的管理对象标识和第一基站的标识中的至少一个。第二小区的管理对象标识包括:第一基站的管理对象标识。例如,第二小区的管理对 象标识可以为第一基站的管理对象+第一基站下唯一的小区管理对象标识。
由于基站的网络制式不同,第一基站的管理对象标识的名称和基站的标识存在差异,下述将分别介绍:
具体的,第一基站的管理对象标识可以由第一基站所在网络制式中的基站的类型和管理对象实例(Managed Object Instance,MOI)Id/区别名称(Distinguish Name)确定。例如,当第一基站为eNB时,第一基站的管理对象标识为eNB MOI Id/Distinguish name,第一基站的标识为eNB Id。当第一基站为gNB时,第一基站的管理对象标识为gNB MOI Id/Distinguish name,第一基站的标识为gNB Id。当第一基站为gNBCU时,第一基站的管理对象标识为gNBCU MOI Id/Distinguish name,第一基站的标识为gNB Id。当第一基站为gNBCUCP时,第一基站的管理对象标识为gNBCUCP MOI Id/Distinguish name,第一基站的标识为gNB Id。当第一基站为gNBCUUP时,第一基站的管理对象标识为gNBCUUP MOI Id/Distinguish name,第一基站的标识为gNB Id。当第一基站为gNBDU时,第一基站的管理对象标识为gNBDU MOI Id/Distinguish name,第一基站的标识为gNB Id。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,eNB MOI也可以称为instance of eNB IOC或者instance of eNBFunction IOC。gNB MOI也可以称为instance of gNB IOC或者instance of gNB Function IOC。对于gNBCU MOI、gNBCUCP MOI、gNBCUUP MOI、gNBDU MOI也可以采用相同的描述,此处不再赘述。
应理解,第一小区所属的第二基站和第二基站是不同的基站。例如,如图2所示,以第一小区为小区1011为例,第一小区所属的第二基站为基站101,第二基站可以为102。或者第二基站为201。
示例性的,第一管理功能单元可以为图2所示的RAN MF。
步骤102、第一管理功能单元根据第一消息,配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系;或,调整与第一小区相关的配置信息;调整与第一小区相关的配置信息包括:调整与第一小区关联的邻区关系,或调整与第一小区关联的外部小区;其中,第一小区关联第一基站之前与第二基站关联。
应理解,第一管理功能单元根据第一消息,可以配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系,并调整与第一小区相关的配置信息。或者第一管理功能单元配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系。或者第一管理功能单元调整与第一小区相关的配置信息。第一管理功能单元调整与第一小区相关的配置信息时,可以调整与第一小区关联的外部小区并调整与第一小区关联的邻区关系。也可以调整与第一小区关联的外部小区或者调整与第一小区关联的邻区关系。
应理解,本申请实施例中第一管理功能单元配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系之后,便可以将第一小区关联至第一基站。然后第一小区和第二基站之间将不具有关系。也即第一小区将为第一基站覆盖下的小区,由第一基站提供。例如,在未将第一小区关联至第一基站之前,终端通过第一小区与第二基站通信,将第一小区关联至第二基站之后,终端通过第一小区与第一基站通信。本申请实施例中第二基站为第一小区关联至第一基站之前的基站。
一方面,第一基站和第一小区所属的第二基站可能是同一个管理功能单元管理, 例如,第一基站和第一小区所属的第二基站均由第一管理功能单元管理。
另一方面,第一基站和第一小区原来关联的第二基站可能是不同管理功能单元管理,例如,第一基站由第三管理功能单元管理,第二基站由第一管理功能单元管理。不同情况下,第一管理功能单元获取第一消息的方式存在差异,且当第二基站和第一基站由不同的管理功能单元管理时,与第一小区关联的邻区关系,或与第一小区关联的外部小区可以由第二基站对应的管理功能单元调整,第一基站对应的管理功能单元可以执行将第一小区配置到第一基站的步骤即可,因此下述将分别介绍:
应理解,本申请实施例中的第一小区可以为上述描述的小区中的任一个小区。
场景1、以第二基站和第一基站由第一管理功能单元管理为例。
作为本申请的另一个实施例,如图7所示,在步骤101之前本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:
步骤103、第四管理功能单元向第一管理功能单元发送第一消息。
具体的,第四管理功能单元(例如,图2中的无线管理服务使用者)确定需要将第一小区关联至第一基站,则执行步骤103。
具体的,第四管理功能单元可以通过如下方式确定需要将第一小区迁移至第一基站:第四管理功能单元确定第一小区所属的第二基站负载大于该基站的预设负载,或者第二基站需要维修改造,则第四管理功能单元确定需要将第一小区关联至第一基站。
其中,一个基站的预设负载可以为网络侧配置给基站的,也可以是基站设置的,或者预配置的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,作为一种可能的实现方式,在第四管理功能单元确定需要将第一小区关联至第一基站之前,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:第四管理功能单元确定第一管理功能单元具有场景化配置能力。其中,场景化配置能力也可以称为基于意图的配置能力或者基于意图的小区迁移能力。其中,场景化配置能力第一管理功能单元具有将一个小区从源基站关联至目的基站的能力,调整与该小区关联的邻区关系的能力,调整与该小区关联的外部小区的能力中的一个或者多个。
具体的,第四管理功能单元可以通过如下方式确定第一管理功能单元的场景化配置能力:第一管理功能单元向第四管理功能单元发送第一管理功能单元具有场景化配置能力的第一指示。这样,第四管理功能单元便可以根据接收到的第一指示确定第一管理功能单元具有场景化配置能力。
需要说明的是,为了保证第一小区关联至第一基站之后不会导致第一基站的负载大于预设负载,则第四管理功能单元可以选择负载低于预设负载的基站作为第一基站。或者选择第一管理功能单元中建立时间较晚的基站。
如果第一消息本身具有指示第一管理功能单元配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系的作用,则第四管理功能单元可以向第一管理功能单元发送第一小区的信息和第一基站的信息。例如,第一消息为小区场景化配置请求。
如果第一消息不具有指示第一管理功能单元配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系的作用,则第四管理功能单元可以在第一消息中携带第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示第一管理功能单元配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系。
具体的,当第二基站和第一基站均由第一管理功能单元管理时,第一指示信息具 体用于指示第一管理功能单元将第一小区关联至第一基站。
应理解,第一指示信息还用于指示第一管理功能单元调整与第一小区相关的配置信息。此外,可以理解第一指示信息可以既指示调整与第一小区相关的配置信息又指示配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系。或者第一指示信息指示调整与第一小区相关的配置信息。或者第一指示信息指示配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系。
场景1中步骤102中的第一管理功能单元根据第一消息,配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系具体可以通过以下方式11或者方式12实现:
方式11、第一管理功能单元将第一小区的管理对象中的基站信息配置为第一基站的信息。
应理解,一个小区的管理对象中包括基站信息,该基站信息用于指示该小区关联的基站。因此,第一管理功能单元将第一小区关联至第一基站时,可以将第一小区的管理对象中的基站信息配置为第一基站的信息。这样便可以使得第一小区指向第一基站。即第一管理功能单元通过修改第一小区的管理对象中的基站信息为第一基站的信息便可以配置第一小区和第一基站之间的映射关系。
例如,第一小区的管理对象中原本包括基站1的信息,现在需要将第一小区从基站1关联至基站2,则第一管理功能单元可以将第一小区的管理对象中的基站信息配置为基站2的信息。以使得第一小区与基站2之间建立关系。
方式12、第一管理功能单元将第一小区的管理对象标识配置为第二小区的管理对象标识,第二小区的管理对象标识包含第二基站的信息。
应理解,第一小区的管理对象标识用于确定第一小区的管理对象(第一小区的管理对象内容可以参考上述描述),第二小区的管理对象标识用于确定第一小区与第一基站关联之后的第一小区的管理对象。也可以理解为,第二小区可以为第一基站覆盖的一个或者多个小区中的任一个。该第二小区也可以为第一管理功能单元获取到第一消息之后在第一基站中新建立的一个小区。
例如,第一基站中本身具有小区1、小区2和小区3。一种情况,第一小区为小区1。另一种情况,第一小区为新建在第一基站下的小区5。
场景1中步骤102中的第一管理功能单元根据第一消息,调整与第一小区关联的邻区关系具体可以通过以下方式14、或者方式15或者方式16实现:
方式14、第一管理功能单元创建与第一小区关联的外部小区。
具体地,第一管理功能单元创建与第一小区关联的外部小区的管理对象,应理解,创建后的与第一小区关联的外部小区的管理对象中可以包含第一基站的信息,或者包含将第一小区关联至第一基站之后得到的第二小区的管理对象标识。
方式15、第一管理功能单元删除与第一小区的邻区关联的外部小区。
具体地,第一管理功能单元删除与第一小区的邻区关联的外部小区的管理对象。
对应方式14和方式15,具体可以通过以下方式实现:一方面,第一管理功能单元删除所有与第一小区的邻区关联的外部小区。例如,上述第一小区的邻区关联的外部小区或第二基站下存在的与第一小区的邻区关联的外部小区。如果第二基站下存在邻区为第一小区的小区,则第一管理功能单元在第二基站下创建与第一小区关联的外部小区。另一方面,第一管理功能单元删除所有与第一小区关联的外部小区,在第一 基站下创建与第一小区的邻区关联的外部小区。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中创建与第一小区关联的外部小区、调整与第一小区关联的邻区关系或与第一小区关联的外部小区等都可以指对外部小区的相应的管理对象,邻区的管理对象进行相应操作。
方式16、第二小区的管理对象标识包括第一基站的信息时,第一管理功能单元为第一小区的邻区配置第二小区的管理对象标识。
具体地,第一管理功能单元配置第一小区的邻区的管理对象,使第一小区的邻区的管理对象包含第二小区的管理对象标识。
其中,第一小区的邻区包括:第一基站覆盖的至少一个小区中与第一小区相邻的小区和第二基站覆盖的至少一个小区中与第一小区相邻的小区,以及第一管理功能单元管理的其他基站覆盖的与第一小区相邻的小区。
示例性的,方式16可以通过以下方式具体实现:第一管理功能单元将第二基站下所有第一小区的邻区关联到第二小区。具体地,第一管理功能单元为第二基站下所有与第一小区关联的邻区配置第二小区的信息(例如,在与第一小区关联的邻区的管理对象的邻区信息中配置第二小区的信息)。第二小区的信息包括第二小区的管理对象标识。和/或,第一管理功能单元将第一基站下所有与第一小区关联的邻区关系,关联到第二小区。具体地,第一管理功能单元配置第二基站下所有第一小区的邻区的管理对象的邻区信息为第二小区的信息。第二小区的信息包括第二小区的管理对象标识。
可选的,方式16的具体实现方式中的第二小区即为将第一小区关联至第一基站之后得到的小区。应理解,第二小区的信息还可以包括:第二小区的标识,第一基站的信息。
作为一种可能的实施例,如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:
步骤104、第一管理功能单元获取第一小区的更新信息,第一小区的更新信息用于更新第一小区的参数。
可选的,第一小区的更新信息包括:小区逻辑标识,物理小区标识(Physical Cell Id,PCI),频点,带宽或跟踪区域码(Track Area Code,TAC)中的至少一个。例如,第一小区的更新信息包括:小区逻辑标识,物理小区标识。或者第一小区的更新信息包括:跟踪区域码。或者第一小区的更新信息包括:小区逻辑标识,物理小区标识(Physical Cell Id,PCI),频点,带宽或跟踪区域码(Track Area Code,TAC)。
示例性的,如果第一小区为4G小区,即EUTAN Cell,则频点为E-UTRA绝对无线频率信道号(E-UTRA absolute radio frequency channel number,earfcn),上行E-UTRA绝对无线频率信道号(Uplink E-UTRA absolute radio frequency channel number,earfcnUL)或者earfcnDL(Downlink E-UTRA absolute radio frequency channel number,下行E-UTRA绝对无线频率信道号)。
示例性的,如果小区为5G小区,即NRCell,NRCellCU或者NRCellDU,则频率中心点为绝对无线频率信道号(absolute radio frequency channel number,arfcnDL)、上行绝对无线频率信道号(Uplink absolute radio frequency channel number,arfcnUL)、下行绝对无线频率信道号(Downlink absolute radio frequency channel number,arfcnDL)、补充上行绝对无线频率信道号(Supplementary Uplink absolute radio frequency channel  number,arfcnSUL)中的一个或者多个。带宽为下行基站信道带宽(DownLink Base Station Channel Bandwidth,bSChannelBwDL)、上行基站信道带宽(UpLink Base Station Channel Bandwidth,bSChannelBwUL)、补充上行基站信道带宽(Supplementary UpLink Base Station Channel Bandwidth,bSChannelBwSUL)中的一个或者多个。
由于将第一小区与第一基站关联之后,第一小区所属的第二基站可能和第一基站接入不同的移动管理网元。因此当第二基站和第一基站连接不同的移动管理网元时,需要在第一小区的更新信息中携带TAC。应理解,如果第二基站和第一基站连接至同一个移动管理网元,则在第一小区的更新信息中可以不携带TAC。
示例性的,在4G网络中移动管理网元可以为移动性管理实体(Mobile Management Entity,MME)。在5G网络中移动管理网元可以为接入管理功能(Access management Function,AMF)网元。示例性的,小区逻辑标识用于识别第一小区。
例如,当第一小区为EutranCell时,第一小区的逻辑标识为cellLocalId,演进型小区全局标识(EutranCell global Id,ECGI)或者演进型小区标识(EutranCell Id,ECI)。当第一小区为NRCell,NRCellCU或者NRCellDU时,第一小区的逻辑标识为新空口小区全局标识(NR Cell global Id,NCGI)或者新空口小区标识(NR Cell Id,NCI)。
注:cellLocalId是一个基站下唯一的,如果第一小区关联至eNB下,cellLocalId可能需要重新分配指定。ECGI和ECI包括eNB Id。如果第一小区关联至eNB下,这时候ECGI和ECI可能需要重新分配指定。NCGI和NCI都包括gNBId,如果第一小区关联至gNB下,这时候NCGI和NCI可能需要重新分配指定。
应理解,第一管理功能单元可以从第三管理功能单元处获取第一小区的更新信息。该第一小区的更新信息可以携带在第一消息中发送给第一管理功能单元,也可以通过与第一消息不同的消息发送给第一管理功能单元,此处不做限定。
步骤105、第一管理功能单元根据第一小区的更新信息,更新第一小区的管理对象。
具体的,第一管理功能单元为第一小区的管理对象配置第一小区的更新信息。
应理解,步骤105中第一小区的管理对象指第一小区关联至第一基站之后第一小区的管理对象。
此外,步骤105还可以包括:更新与第一小区相关的配置信息。更新与第一小区相关的配置信息包括:第一管理功能单元为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第一小区的更新信息。或者为第一管理功能单元为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第一小区的更新信息。或者第一管理功能单元为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第一小区的更新信息,并为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第一小区的更新信息。
应理解,此处与第一小区关联的邻区和与第一小区关联的外部小区指第一小区关联至第一基站之后与第一小区关联的邻区和与第一小区关联的外部小区。
应理解,本申请实施例中配置第一小区的更新信息的过程是在将第一小区关联至第一基站之后,为第一小区的管理对象配置的。为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第一小区的更新信息,或者为与第一小区关联的外部小区配置第一小区的更新信息指第一小区关联至第一基站之后为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第一小区的更新信息,或者为第一小区关联的外部小区配置第一小区的更新信息。例如,小区1本来关联基站1,小 区2为小区1的邻区,那么在将小区1关联至基站2之后,用于管理小区2的管理功能单元2,在用于管理小区1的管理功能单元1的触发下,为小区2配置基站2的信息(用于指示小区2为与基站2关联的小区1的邻区)。如果管理功能单元2还接收到小区1的更新信息,则管理功能单元2为小区2配置小区1的更新信息。
具体的,当第一管理功能单元通过上述方式11或者上述方式12配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关联关系时,第一管理功能单元为第一小区的管理对象配置第一小区的更新信息。
具体的,第一管理功能单元在第一小区的管理对象中原来包括的TAC、PCI、频点、带宽等按照第一小区的更新信息所指示的信息对应替换即可。此处不再赘述。
例如,未配置第一小区和第一基站的关联关系之前,第一小区的管理对象中包括TAC1、频点1、带宽2。
如果配置第一小区和第一基站的关联关系之后,第一小区的更新信息包括:TAC2、频点2。则第一管理功能单元可以将第一小区的管理对象中第一小区的频点配置为频点2、将第一小区的TAC配置为TAC2。
由于将第一小区关联至第一基站之后,第一小区的外部小区或者邻区中可能存在一部分邻区或者外部小区由第一管理功能单元管理,还可能存在另一部分邻区或者外部小区由第二管理功能单元管理,因此,在场景1的情况下,作为本申请的另一个实施例,如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:
步骤106、第一管理功能单元向第二管理功能单元发送第一通知消息,第一通知消息用于指示调整与第一小区相关的配置信息,调整与第一小区相关的配置信息,包括:调整与第一小区关联的外部小区;或,调整与第一小区关联的邻区关系。
例如,第一通知消息用于指示既调整与第一小区关联的外部小区;又调整与第一小区关联的邻区关系。
其中,第一通知消息用于通知第二管理功能单元调整与第一小区关联的外部小区和/或邻区。
需要说明的是,如果与第一小区关联的邻区,与第一小区关联的外部小区由多个第二管理功能单元管理,则第一管理功能单元可以向每个第二管理功能单元发送第一通知消息。应理解,每个第二管理功能单元执行根据第一通知消息,调整与第一小区关联的外部小区和/或邻区均可以参考下述步骤107实现,后续不再赘述。
一种可能的实现方式,第一通知消息中还包括第一基站的信息。
步骤107、第二管理功能单元根据第一通知消息,调整与第一小区相关的配置信息。
示例性的,步骤107具体可以通过以下方式17和/或方式18实现:
方式17、第二管理功能单元将与第一小区关联的外部小区关联到第二小区。
具体的,第二管理功能单元为与第一小区关联的外部小区配置第二小区的管理对象标识。例如,第二管理功能单元在第一小区关联的外部小区的管理对象中配置第二小区的管理对象标识,第二小区的管理对象标识包括第一基站的信息。
方式18、第二管理功能单元将与第一小区关联的邻区关联至第二小区。
具体的,第二管理功能单元为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第二小区的管理对象标 识。例如,第二管理功能单元在第一小区的邻区的管理对象中配置第二小区的信息,其中,第二小区的信息包括第二小区的管理对象标识。
可选的,第二小区的信息还包括第二小区的标识或第一基站的信息中的至少一个。
应理解,方式17和方式18中第二小区为第一小区关联至第一基站之后得到的小区。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第一通知消息还包括:第一小区的更新信息,本申请实施例提供的方法,如图7,还包括步骤108:
步骤108、第二管理功能单元为更新与第一小区相关的配置信息。具体的,第二管理功能单元为与第一小区关联的外部小区配置第一小区的更新信息,或,为与第一小区关联的邻区配置第一小区的更新信息。或者第二管理功能单元为两个都配置第一小区的更新信息。第一小区的更新信息用于更新第一小区的参数。
具体的,第二管理功能单元在与第一小区关联的外部小区的管理对象中配置第一小区的更新信息。第二管理功能单元在与第一小区关联的邻区的管理对象中配置第一小区的更新信息。
可以理解的是,在步骤108之后,如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:
步骤109、第二管理功能单元向第一管理功能单元发送第二消息,该第二消息用于指示第二管理功能单元已调整与第一小区相关的配置信息。
具体的,第二消息用于指示已调整与第一小区关联的外部小区,或,已调整与第一小区关联的邻区。或者第二消息用于指示与第一小区关联的外部小区和与第一小区关联的邻区两个都已经调整完成。
步骤110、第一管理功能单元向第四管理功能单元发送第一消息的第一响应消息,该第一响应消息用于指示已配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系;或,已调整与第一小区相关的配置信息。
具体的,第一响应消息用于指示已配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系。或者第一响应消息用于指示已调整与第一小区关联的外部小区,或者第一响应消息用于指示已调整与第一小区关联的邻区。或者第一响应消息用于指示已配置第一小区和第一基站之间的关系和已调整与第一小区关联的邻区。或者第一响应消息用于指示已调整与第一小区关联的外部小区和已调整与第一小区关联的邻区。
需要说明的是,第一响应消息具体用于指示第一管理功能单元已调整由第一管理功能单元管理的与第一小区关联的外部小区、与第一小区关联的邻区,以及第二管理功能单元已调整由第二管理功能单元管理的与第一小区关联的外部小区、或与第一小区关联的邻区。
具体的,第一小区的更新信息的具体内容可以参考上述实施例中的描述,此处不再赘述。
如图8所示,图8和图9为一种具体的小区迁移示意图,图8中包括第一RAN MF、第二RAN MF。其中,第二RAN MF管理gNB3、第一RAN MF管理gNB1和gNB2。应理解,图8中以基站为gNB为例。
图8中为将小区1关联至gNB2之前,小区1与各个基站和各个基站覆盖下的小区之间的关系。
如图8所示:gNB1与小区1和小区2关联。小区3与gNB2关联。小区4与gNB3关联。其中,gNB3具有外部小区1。该外部小区1与小区1关联。小区1和小区2互为邻区,小区1具有邻区关系12表示小区2为小区1的邻区(下述但凡涉及到此类描述均与此处类似)。小区2具有邻区关系12表示小区1为小区2的邻区。小区1和小区3互为邻区。小区1具有邻区关系13。小区1与小区4互为邻区。小区4具有邻区关系41。小区1具有邻区关系14。
应理解在图8中,外部小区4与小区1关联。外部小区4用于描述小区4的信息,此时外部小区1中具有gNB1的信息。
在图8中小区4的邻区关系41中将配置有gNB1的信息或者小区1在gNB1中的标识。小区2的邻区关系21中将配置有gNB1的信息或者小区1在gNB1中的标识。小区3的邻区关系31中将配置有gNB1的信息或者小区1在gNB1中的标识。
在图9中,将小区1关联至gNB2之后,小区1与各个基站和各个基站覆盖下的小区之间的关系:如图9所示:
