Description

小区切换的管理方法、设备及存储介质 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术,尤其涉及一种小区切换的管理方法、设备及存储介质。
背景技术
在5G工业物联网(Industrial Internet Of Things,IIoT)中,5G通信系统可用于传输工业自动化(Factory automation)、传输自动化(Transport Industry)、智能电力(Electrical Power Distribution)等业务。由于该业务对低时延和可靠性传输的要求较高,因此,IIoT中引入了时间敏感性网络(Time Sensitive Networking,TSN)或时间敏感性传输(Time Sensitive Conveying,TSC)的概念。
为了满足TSN业务或TSC业务对低时延和可靠性传输的要求,5G通信系统需要提供更低的时延保证和更高的时间同步精度。而在5G通信系统中,终端设备可能会从一个小区即源小区切换到另一个小区即目标小区,如果目标小区不能满足较高的时间同步精度,将导致该终端设备传输的TSN业务或TSC业务的时延较大,或者,该终端设备传输的TSN业务或TSC业务的服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)下降。

本申请实施例的方法可以应用于如图1所示的通信系统中,也可以应用于其它通信场景中。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例涉及到的小区也称蜂窝小区,是指在蜂窝移动通信系统中,基站所覆盖的区域,或者是基站的一部分例如扇形天线所覆盖的区域。也就是说,小区可以是基站的全向天线所覆盖的全向小区,也可以是基站的定向天线所覆盖的扇区。本实施例以全向小区为例进行示意性说明。
通常在5G IIoT中,5G通信系统可用于传输工业自动化、传输自动化、智能电力等业务,而这些业务对于低时延和可靠性传输的要求较高。因此,需要5G通信系统能够提供更低的时延保证和更高的时间同步精度。而在5G通信系统中,终端设备可能会从一个小区即源小区切换到另一个小区即目标小区,如图2所示,源基站21是源小区31中的终端设备20所连接的基站,在一些场景中,终端设备20需要切换到其他小区,例如目标小区32中。如果源小区31是满足TSN或TSC时钟要求的小区,该终端设备20是需要传输或正在传输TSN业务或TSC业务的终端设备,而目标小区32是不满足TSN或TSC时钟要求的小区,那么若将该终端设备20从源小区31切换到该目标小区32,可能会出现以下几种情况,一种可能的情况是,该终端设备从源小区31切换到该目标小区32后,需要尽快将该终端设备20再次切换到其他满足TSN或TSC时钟要求的小区中,这样会导致TSN业务或TSC业务传输的时延增大。另一种可能的情况是,该终端设备从源小区31切换到该目标小区32后,该终端设备20无法通过目标小区32中的目标基站22继续传输TSN业务或TSC业务,造成TSN业务或TSC业务的QoS下降。为了解决该问题,本实施例提供了一种小区切换的管理方法,下面结合具体的实施例对小区切换的管理方法进行介绍。
在下面的实施例中,第一通信节点可以是源小区对应的源网络设备,例如,源小区中的源基站。第二通信节点可以是终端设备,该终端设备可以是支持TSN业务或TSC业务的终端设备,或者该终端设备可以是具有TSN业务或TSC业务传输能力的终端设备,或者该终端设备正在执行TSN业务或TSC业务传输,再或者该终端设备准备执行TSN业务或TSC业务传输。第三通信节点可以是核心网网元、操作维护管理(Operation Administration and Maintenance,OAM)网元、中心网络控制(Centre Network Control,CNC)网元中的至少一种,其中,核心网网元具体可以是接入和移动性管理实体(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)网元。第四通信节点可以是目标小区对应的目标网络设备,例如,目标小区中的目标基站。另外,在一些实施例中,还可以将候选小区对应的网络设备记为第五通信节点,其中,目标小区可以是从候选小区中确定出来的,因此,当该候选小区是目标小区时,第四通信节点和第五通信节点可以是同一个通信节点。当该候选小区不是目标小区时,第四通信节点和第五通信节点可以是不同的通信节点。在一些场景中,指定节点可以是至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备。在另一些场景中,指定节点可以是终端设备。
另外,本申请实施例提供的小区切换的管理方法所适用的通信系统中可以包括OAM网元、CNC网元或AMF网元,也可以不包括OAM网元、CNC网元或AMF网元。
当该通信系统中包括OAM网元、CNC网元或AMF网元时,源基站可以从OAM网元、CNC网元或AMF网元中获取参考时钟信息,或者,源基站还可以从本地获取参考时钟信息,进一步,根据该参考时钟信息确定满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程。
当该通信系统中不包括OAM网元、CNC网元或AMF网元时,源基站可以从指定节点获取参考时钟信息,进一步,根据该参考时钟信息确定满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程。
下面结合具体的通信系统的示意图对该小区切换的管理方法进行介绍。如图3所示,终端设备20当前所处的小区为源小区31,源基站21是该源小区31对应的网络设备,终端设备20当前与源基站21通信连接。小区32、小区33、小区34分别是源小区31的相邻小区,基站23是小区33对应的网络设备,基站24是小区34对应的网络设备。候选小区可以是相邻小区,也可以是相邻小区中的部分小区。
图4为本申请提供的一种小区切换的管理方法的流程图。如图4所示,该小区切换的管理方法包括如下步骤:
S401、第一通信节点从指定节点接收参考时钟信息。
S402、根据所述参考时钟信息,所述第一通信节点确定满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起第二通信节点由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程,其中,所述第二通信节点与所述第一通信节点连接,所述第一通信节点属于所述源小区。
在本实施例中,第一通信节点例如为图3所示的源基站21。指定节点可以是至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备,例如,如果候选小区是源小区31的相邻小区,则指定节点为基站22、基站23和基站24。如果候选小区是相邻小区中的部分节点,例如,候选小区是小区32和小区33,则指定节点为基站22和基站23。另外,指定节点也可能是终端设备20。
具体的,指定节点可以将参考时钟信息发送给源基站21,相应的,源基站21接收该参考时钟信息,进一步,根据该参考时钟信息确定出满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起将终端设备20从源小区31切换到该目标小区的切换流程。
其中,如果该指定节点是至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备,例如,基站22、基站23和基站24,相应的该参考时钟信息可以是小区32的参考时钟信息、小区33的参考时钟信息和小区34的参考时钟信息。也就是说,源基站21可根据小区32、小区33、小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,确定出小区32、小区33、小区34中满足预设条件的目标小区。
如果该指定节点是终端设备20,相应的该参考时钟信息可以是该终端设备20对至少一个候选小区进行测量后的测量结果。也就是说,源基站21可根据该终端设备20的测量结果,确定出该至少一个候选小区中满足预设条件的目标小区。
本实施例提供的小区切换的管理方法,当终端设备需要从源小区切换到其他小区时,源小区中的网络设备根据从指定节点接收到的参考时钟信息,确定出满足预设条件的目标小区,进一步,将终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区中,其中,该预设条件可以是满足TSN或TSC时钟要求的预设条件,也就是说,当目标小区满足TSN或TSC的时钟要求时,可以将终端设备从源小区切换到该目标小区,避免将终端设备随意切换到一个目标小区,而目标小区不满足TSN或TSC时钟要求时导致的TSN业务或TSC业务时延增大或QoS下降的问题。
在上述实施例的基础上,指定节点可以主动向源基站21发送参考时钟信息。也可以是源基站21向指定节点发送指示消息后,该指定节点根据该指示消息的指示向源基站21发送参考时钟信息,也就是说,该指示消息可用于指示该指定节点向该源基站21反馈该参考时钟信息。下面针对指定节点是终端设备的这种情况,以及指定节点是至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备的这种情况分别进行介绍。
图5为本申请提供的一种小区切换的管理方法的信令图,其中,该指定节点是至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备,例如,基站22和基站23。如图5所示,该小区切换的管理方法包括如下步骤:
S501、源基站21向基站22发送指示消息,该指示消息用于指示基站22反馈小区32对应的参考时钟信息。
S502、基站22向源基站21发送小区32对应的参考时钟信息,相应的,源基站21接收该参考时钟信息。
S503、源基站21向基站23发送指示消息,该指示消息用于指示基站23反馈小区33对应的参考时钟信息。
S504、基站23向源基站21发送小区33对应的参考时钟信息,相应的,源基站21接收该参考时钟信息。
S505、源基站21根据小区32和小区33分别对应的参考时钟信息,确定目标小区。
S506、源基站21向终端设备发送切换指令。
终端设备在接收到该切换指令后,执行空口的切换过程。例如,终端设备向目标小区中的目标基站发送随机接入流程,并且终端设备与源基站断开连接,终端设备的分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)等实体进行重建立。另外,源基站还可以向目标基站发送序列号状态转移(SN STATUS TRANSFER)信息,该信息用于指示上行PDCP序列号(Serial Number,SN)接收 状态和下行PDCP SN发送状态。当终端设备成功接入目标基站即随机接入成功后,目标基站向移动管理节点功能(Mobility Management Entity,MME)网元发送路径切换请求(PATH SWITCH REQUEST),该请求用于请求MME切换下行路径,当路径切换完成后,目标基站指示源基站释放该终端设备的上下文,从而完成了该终端设备的小区切换。
可以理解的是,本实施例并不限定S501-S506中部分步骤之间的执行顺序,例如,S503可以在S501之前,S504可以在S502之前。
另外,在本实施例中,按照参考时钟信息的类型划分,该参考时钟信息可包括以下至少之一:时间敏感性网络TSN时钟的参考时钟信息,时间敏感性传输TSC时钟的参考时钟信息,时间精度满足预设精度阈值的高精度时钟的参考时钟信息。
此外,按照参考时钟信息的内容划分,该参考时钟信息可包括以下至少之一:参考系统帧号(System Frame Number,SFN)、TSC的时钟域(TSC domain index)、TSN的时钟域(TSN domain index)、时间(例如,10点9分8秒10毫秒1微秒)、时钟精度值(例如,1毫秒、10纳秒、1微秒)、时钟精度类型(例如,低精度、正常精度、高精度等)的指示信息、时间信息类型(timeInfoType)、不精确度(uncertainty)。
在一些场景中,小区的参考时钟信息还可以是该小区的参考SFN与该小区的相邻小区的参考SFN的差值、该小区的时钟精度值与该小区的相邻小区的时钟精度值的差值、该小区的时间与该小区的相邻小区的时间的差值中的至少一个。
例如,时钟精度类型的指示信息可以是3个比特的信息位。以1微秒为正常精度,比1微秒高的精度例如10纳秒为高精度,比1微秒低的精度例如1毫秒为低精度。具体的,高精度、低精度或正常精度与该3比特之间的对应关系可如下表1所示:
表1
精度级别 比特
高精度 100
正常精度 010
低精度 001
可以理解的是,表1所示的对应关系只是一种示意性说明,并不做具体限定。
具体的,源基站21根据小区32和小区33分别对应的参考时钟信息,确定目标小区时,该源基站21可根据小区32和小区33分别对应的参考时钟信息,将小区32和小区33中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的候选小区作为所述目标小区。也就是说,如上所述的预设条件具体可以是时钟精度高于或等于预设精度阈值,或者如上所述的预设条件具体可以是时钟精度高于或等于源小区的时钟精度。
例如,该参考时钟信息具体为时钟精度值,时钟精度值也可称为时钟同步精度的粒度。例如,小区32的时钟精度值为10纳秒,小区33的时钟精度值为1毫秒,预设精度阈值为1微秒,也就是说,小区32的时钟精度高于预设精度阈值,小区33的时钟精度低于预设精度阈值,为了终端设备在切换到目标小区后还可以正常的传输TSN业务或TSC业务,可以将时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的小区32作为目标小区。再例如,源小区的时钟精度值为1微秒,可见,小区32的时钟精度高于源小区的时钟精度,小区33的时钟精度低于源小区的时钟精度,可以将时钟精度高于源小区的时钟精度的小区32作为目标小区。
可以理解的是,在一些场景中可能会有多个小区满足预设条件,例如,小区32的时钟精度和小区33的时钟精度均高于预设精度阈值,或者均高于源小区的时钟精度,也就是说,目标小区是多个,此时,可以通过几种可能的实现方式,从多个目标小区中确定出终端设备可以切换到的目标小区。例如,可以将多个目标小区中时钟精度最高的小区作为终端设备可以切换到的目标小区。或者,可以将多个目标小区中信道质量最好的小区作为终端设备可以切换到的目标小区。或者,可以将多个目标小区中可接受的承载个数或能保证的承载个数最多的小区作为终端设备可以切换到的目标小区,其中,可接受的承载个数具体可以是能够接受的保证比特速率(Guaranteed Bit Rate,GBR)承载的个数,能保证的承载个数具体可以是能保证的GBR承载个数。或者,可以将多个目标小区中负荷最小的小区作为终端设备可以切换到的目标小区。可以理解的是,此处只是几种举例性说明,还可以通过其他的预设规则从多个目标小区中确定出终端设备可以切换到的目标小区。
另外,可以理解的是,源基站接收到至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送的参考时钟信息后,在根据至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送的参考时钟信息,确定时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的目标小区时,该源基站可能会确定出该至少一个候选小区的时钟精度均低于 该预设精度阈值或均低于该源小区的时钟精度。或者,该源基站可能会确定出该至少一个候选小区的时钟精度均不同于该预设精度阈值或均不同于该源小区的时钟精度,在这种情况下,源基站可通过如下几种可能的方式来确定目标小区。
一种可能的方式是,该源基站将该至少一个候选小区中信道质量大于预设质量阈值的小区作为目标小区。
另一种可能的方式是,该源基站根据预配置确定该目标小区。
再一种可能的方式是,该源基站将该至少一个候选小区中时钟精度最高的小区作为目标小区。
又一种可能的方式是,该源基站确定切换失败,进一步释放与终端设备之间的连接。
又一种可能的方式是,该源基站从该至少一个候选小区中任选一个候选小区作为目标小区。
此外,源基站在向多个候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息后,可能有些候选小区对应的网络设备会向该源基站反馈相应的候选小区的参考时钟信息,但是有些候选小区对应的网络设备可能并不反馈相应的候选小区的参考时钟信息。例如,源基站21向基站22、基站23和基站24分别发送指示消息后,基站22反馈了小区32的参考时钟信息,基站23反馈了小区33的参考时钟信息,而基站24并没有反馈小区34的参考时钟信息,在这种情况下,作为一种可能的实现方式,源基站21在确定目标小区时,可以忽略小区34的参考时钟信息,根据小区32的参考时钟信息和小区33的参考时钟信息来确定该目标小区,例如,源基站21可根据小区32的参考时钟信息确定小区32的时钟精度,根据小区33的参考时钟信息确定小区33的时钟精度,进一步,根据小区32的时钟精度和小区33的时钟精度,确定小区32和小区33被选择为目标小区的优先级顺序,如果小区32的时钟精度高于小区33的时钟精度,则一种优先级顺序为小区32的优先级高于小区33的优先级,另一种优先级顺序为小区33的优先级高于小区32的优先级。作为另一种可能的实现方式,源基站21可以确定小区34不是目标小区。
本实施例提供的小区切换的管理方法,通过源基站向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息,该指示消息用于指示该至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备向该源基站发送相应的候选小区的参考时钟信息,该源基站进一步根据该至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息,确定出时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与源小区的时钟精度相同的候选小区为目标小区,从而使得该目标小区可以满足TSN或TSC的时钟要求,避免了TSN业务或TSC业务时延增大或QoS下降的问题。
在一些场景中,源基站在向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息之前,该源基站还可以向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送切换请求消息。当该源基站接收到至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备反馈的切换响应信息,并且该切换响应信息为确认信息(Acknowledge character,ACK)时,源基站向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息。下面以一个具体的实施例进行介绍。
图6为本申请提供的另一种小区切换的管理方法的信令图,其中,候选小区为小区32和小区33,指定节点为基站22和基站23。如图6所示,该小区切换的管理方法包括如下步骤:
S601、源基站21向基站22发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息请求基站22反馈终端设备从源小区切换到小区32的切换响应信息。
S602、基站22向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息为ACK,相应的,源基站21接收该切换响应信息。
S603、源基站21向基站23发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息请求基站23反馈终端设备从源小区切换到小区33的切换响应信息。
S604、基站23向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息为ACK,相应的,源基站21接收该切换响应信息。
S605、源基站21向基站22发送指示消息,该指示消息用于指示基站22反馈小区32对应的参考时钟信息。
S606、基站22向源基站21发送小区32对应的参考时钟信息,相应的,源基站21接收该参考时钟信息。
S607、源基站21向基站23发送指示消息,该指示消息用于指示基站23反馈小区33对应的参考时钟信息。
S608、基站23向源基站21发送小区33对应的参考时钟信息,相应的,源基站21接收该参考时钟信息。
S609、源基站21根据小区32和小区33分别对应的参考时钟信息,确定目标小区。
S610、源基站21向终端设备发送切换指令。
可以理解的是,本实施例并不限定S601-S610中部分步骤之间的执行顺序,例如,S607可以在S605 之前,S608可以在S606之前。另外,S605可以在S602之后执行,S607可以在S604之后执行。
其中,以基站22为例,当基站22接收到该切换请求消息后,基站22进行切换判断,即接入控制,具体的,基站22可根据小区32能够接受的承载个数、能够保证的承载个数、小区32的信道质量、小区32的负载情况等确定终端设备是否可以切换到该小区32中,如果基站22确定终端设备可以切换到该小区32中,则向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息为ACK。如果基站22确定该小区32无法接收该终端设备,则向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息为否定确认信息(Negative ACKnowledgment,NACK)。基站23向源基站21发送切换响应信息的方法与此类似,此处不再赘述。
可以理解的是,如果基站22向源基站21发送的切换响应信息为NACK,则后续步骤中,例如S605中,源基站21将不需要向基站22发送指示消息。同理,如果基站23向源基站21发送的切换响应信息为NACK,则后续步骤中,例如S607中,源基站21将不需要向基站23发送指示消息。
可以理解的是,如果源基站向多个候选小区的网络设备发送切换请求消息后,该多个候选小区的网络设备反馈的切换响应信息均为NACK,例如,源基站21向基站22和基站23分别发送切换请求消息后,基站22和基站23反馈的切换响应信息均为NACK,此时,源基站21可以继续确定至少一个新的候选小区,例如,可以将小区34作为候选小区,进一步,向基站24发送切换请求消息,如果基站24反馈的切换响应信息为ACK,且小区34满足如上所述的预设条件,即可将小区34作为目标小区,并将终端设备20从源小区31切换到目标小区34中。或者,源基站也可以不考虑候选小区的参考时钟信息,选择一个反馈ACK的候选小区进行切换,例如,源基站可以不考虑小区34的参考时钟信息,当基站24反馈的切换响应信息为ACK时,源基站便可将终端设备20从源小区31切换到目标小区34中。如果基站24反馈的切换响应信息为NACK,也就是说,源小区31的相邻小区均无法接收该终端设备,则源基站21可以断开该终端设备与该源基站21的连接,或者源基站21可以不考虑参考时钟信息,选择一个反馈ACK的小区进行切换。
本实施例提供的小区切换的管理方法,通过源基站在向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息之前,该源基站向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送切换请求消息。当该源基站接收到至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备反馈的切换响应信息,并且该切换响应信息为ACK时,源基站向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息,若某个候选小区反馈的切换响应信息为NACK,则该源基站不向该候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息,从而节省了源基站发送指示消息的资源开销。
在另一些场景中,源基站向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送的指示消息还可以携带在切换请求消息中。至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备反馈的至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息可以携带在切换响应信息中。例如,在图5的基础上,S501中,源基站21向基站22发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息中包括指示消息,其中,该切换请求消息和该指示消息的含义具体如上所述,此处不再赘述。同理,S503中,源基站21向基站23发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息中包括指示消息。S502中,基站22向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息中包括小区32对应的参考时钟信息。同理,S504中,基站23向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息中包括小区33对应的参考时钟信息。该切换响应信息和该参考时钟信息的含义具体如上所述,此处不再赘述。
本实施例提供的小区切换的管理方法,通过源基站向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送的切换请求消息来携带指示消息,以及通过至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备反馈的切换响应信息来携带参考时钟信息,进一步节省了资源开销。
在又一些场景中,源基站可以不在切换请求消息中携带该指示消息,而是由至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备在切换响应信息中自行反馈至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息。例如,在图5的基础上,S501中,源基站21向基站22发送指示消息,该指示消息并不携带在切换请求消息中。在S502中,基站22向源基站21发送切换响应信息,基站22在该切换响应信息中自行反馈小区32对应的参考时钟信息,也就是说,切换请求消息不携带指示消息,切换响应信息携带参考时钟信息。同理,该方法也适用于S503和S504,此处不再赘述。
在又一些场景中,源基站可以向至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备发送指示消息,并根据至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备反馈的至少一个候选小区对应的参考时钟信息,确定出目标小区后,向该目标小区对应的网络设备发送切换请求消息,并在该目标小区对应的网络设备反馈的切换响应信息为ACK时,源基站向终端设备发送切换指令。如图7所示,在图5的基础上,如果在S505中,源基站21根据小区32和小区33分别对应的指定参考时钟信息,确定目标小区为小区32时,在S506中,源基站21向基站22发送切换请求消息,以请求基站22反馈终端设备从源小区切换到小区32的切换响应信息。 如果在S507中,基站22向源基站21反馈的切换响应信息为ACK,则进一步,在S508中,源基站21向终端设备发送切换指令。也就是说,如果在S507中,基站22向源基站21反馈的切换响应信息为NACK时,源基站21还需要重新确定目标小区。
在上述实施例的基础上,源基站21在向候选小区对应的网络设备或目标小区对应的网络设备发送切换请求消息时,该源基站21还可以将源小区31的参考时钟信息携带在该切换请求消息中,当候选小区对应的网络设备或目标小区对应的网络设备接收到该切换请求消息时,可以根据源小区31的参考时钟信息,确定该候选小区或目标小区的时钟精度是否与该源小区31的时钟精度相同,或者根据源小区31的参考时钟信息确定该候选小区或目标小区是否可以接受该终端设备UE的切换。如果该候选小区或目标小区的时钟精度高于该源小区31的时钟精度,或者,该候选小区或目标小区的时钟精度与该源小区31的时钟精度相同,则该候选小区对应的网络设备或目标小区对应的网络设备确定可以传输TSN业务或TSC业务,进一步,确定向源基站反馈的切换响应信息为ACK。如果候选小区或目标小区的时钟精度低于该源小区31的时钟精度,则该候选小区对应的网络设备或目标小区对应的网络设备确定无法正常传输TSN业务或TSC业务,从而确定该终端设备不能切换到该候选小区或该目标小区,或者确定接入控制失败,或者不发送切换响应信息,或者确定向源基站反馈的切换响应信息为NACK。可以理解的是,如果目标基站是候选小区或目标小区中的网络设备,则该目标基站也可以向源基站反馈候选小区或目标小区的参考时钟信息,由源基站根据候选小区或目标小区的参考时钟信息,判断是否可以将该终端设备切换到该目标小区或该候选小区。
本实施例提供的小区切换的管理方法,通过源基站将源小区的参考时钟信息携带在切换请求消息中,当候选小区对应的网络设备或目标小区对应的网络设备接收到该切换请求消息时,可根据源小区的参考时钟信息,确定该终端设备是否可以切换到该候选小区或该目标小区,提高了该候选小区或该目标小区接入控制的灵活性。
可以理解的是,不论采用上述方法中的哪种方法,当源基站获取到候选小区或目标小区的参考时钟信息后,该源基站可以通过RRC消息或切换命令,将该参考时钟信息发送给UE。UE可以保存该参考时钟信息。所述参考时钟信息可以用于:UE和目标小区之间的TSC同步,UE和目标基站之间的TSC同步,UE和目标小区之间的TSN同步,UE和目标基站之间的TSN同步,UE和目标小区之间的TSC业务传输,UE和目标基站之间的TSC业务传输,测量上报等。
上述实施例介绍了指定节点是至少一个候选小区对应的网络设备的情况,下面将介绍该指定节点是终端设备的情况。图8所示为本申请提供的再一种小区切换的管理方法的流程图,如图8所示,该小区切换的管理方法包括如下步骤:
S801、源基站21向终端设备发送测量配置信息。
如图3所示,源基站21向终端设备20发送测量配置信息,该测量配置信息可包括源基站21指定的至少一个候选小区的标识信息,该测量配置信息用于指示终端设备20获取该至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息。例如,至少一个候选小区为小区32、小区33和小区34。
S802、终端设备测量至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息。
具体的,终端设备20分别读取小区32、小区33和小区34的系统信息,并从小区32的系统信息中获取小区32的参考时钟信息,从小区33的系统信息中获取小区33的参考时钟信息,从小区34的系统信息中获取小区34的参考时钟信息。其中,该系统信息具体可以是系统信息块(System Information Block,SIB)1、SIB9、主系统信息块(Master Information Block,MIB)中的至少一种。进一步,终端设备20还可以将小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息保存在本地,用于后续的测量上报、终端设备20与目标基站之间的同步(例如,TSC或TSN同步)、终端设备20与目标基站之间的业务传输(例如TSC业务传输)中的至少一种。
S803、终端设备向源基站21发送测量结果。
具体的,该测量配置信息中包括指示消息,在一种可能的情况中,该指示消息用于指示终端设备20反馈由源基站21指定的至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息。在这种情况下,终端设备20向源基站21发送的测量结果包括小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息。
另一种可能的情况中,该指示消息用于指示终端设备20反馈该至少一个候选小区中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的候选小区,或者,该指示消息用于指示终端设备20反馈该至少一个候选小区中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的候选小区的参考时钟信息。在这种情况下,终端设备20在获取到小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时 钟信息后,进一步,确定小区32、小区33和小区34中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的候选小区,例如,小区32的时钟精度高于预设精度阈值,小区33的时钟精度与源小区31的时钟精度相同,小区34的时钟精度低于源小区31的时钟精度,则终端设备20向源基站21发送的测量结果包括小区32和小区33分别对应的参考时钟信息,而不包括小区34的参考时钟信息。
或者,在UE获取到S802中所述的参考时钟信息后,UE仅对时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的候选小区进行测量。
S804、源基站21根据测量结果,确定目标小区。
如果该测量结果包括小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,则源基站21可根据小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,确定出小区32、小区33和小区34中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的小区为目标小区,如果目标小区的个数为多个,可以按照上述实施例所述的方法,从多个目标小区中确定出终端设备可以切换到的那个目标小区。
如果该测量结果包括时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与所述源小区的时钟精度相同的小区的参考时钟信息,例如,小区32和小区33分别对应的参考时钟信息,由于满足预设条件的小区有多个,同样可以根据上述实施例所述的方法,从多个满足预设条件的小区中确定出终端设备可以切换到的那个目标小区。
例如,终端设备可以切换到的目标小区为小区32。
S805、源基站21向基站22发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息用于请求基站22反馈终端设备20从源小区31切换到目标小区32的切换响应信息。
例如,基站22在接收到切换请求消息后,执行切换判断,即接入控制,以确定终端设备20是否可以切换到该目标小区,进一步,向源基站21发送切换响应信息。
S806、基站22向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息为ACK。
S807、源基站21向终端设备发送切换指令,该切换指令用于指示终端设备20由与源基站21连接切换到与目标小区32中的目标基站22连接。
当该终端设备接收到该切换指令后,执行空口的切换过程,该切换过程具体如上述实施例所述的过程,此处不再赘述。
进一步的,该切换指令还可以包括目标小区32的参考时钟信息,也就是说,源基站21可以通过切换指令,将该目标小区32的参考时钟信息发送给该终端设备20,该终端设备20可以存储该目标小区32的参考时钟信息。
或者,当源基站21确定出满足预设条件的目标小区后,该源基站21还可以向该终端设备20发送无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)消息,该RRC消息可以包括该目标小区32的参考时钟信息,也就是说,源基站21还可以通过RRC消息将该目标小区32的参考时钟信息发送给该终端设备20,该终端设备20可以存储该目标小区32的参考时钟信息。
本实施例提供的小区切换的管理方法,通过源基站向终端设备发送测量配置信息,使得终端设备测量至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息,并将测量结果发送给源基站,源基站根据该测量结果确定目标小区,并向该目标小区发送切换请求消息,当该目标小区反馈的切换响应信息为ACK时,源基站向终端设备发送切换指令,从而使得终端设备由与源基站通信连接切换到与目标小区中的目标基站通信连接,提高了源基站确定目标小区的灵活性。
通过上述实施例可知,源基站可以从至少一个候选小区的网络设备或终端设备获取参考时钟信息,在下面实施例中,该源基站本地可保存有参考时钟信息,或者,该源基站可以从核心网网元或OAM或CNC获取参考时钟信息。如图9所示,网络设备91具体可以是OAM网元、CNC网元或AMF网元,也就是说,网络设备91具体可以是如上所述的第三通信节点。网络设备91可以与源基站21进行通信。
在一种可能的方式中,源基站21可以检测本地保存的参考时钟信息,并根据该参考时钟信息,确定满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程。例如,源基站21本地可存储有源小区31的相邻小区即小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,进一步,根据小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,确定出小区32、小区33和小区34中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与源小区31的时钟精度相同的小区为目标小区。若小区32、小区33和小区34中有两个或以上小区的时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与源小区31的时钟精度相同,即目标小区为多个,则可以按照上述实施例所述的方法,确定出多个目标小区中终端设备可以切换到的那个目标小区。或者,源基站21本地可存储有源小区31的相邻小区即小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,源基站21检测本地保存的相邻小区中的至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息,例如,源基 站21检测候选小区32和候选小区33的参考时钟信息,进一步,根据候选小区32和候选小区33的参考时钟信息,确定出候选小区32和候选小区33中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与源小区31的时钟精度相同的小区为目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程,该切换流程具体如上所述,此处不再赘述。
在另一种可能的方式中,如图10所示,源基站21从网络设备91获取参考时钟信息,并根据该参考时钟信息,确定满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程。具体包括如下几个步骤:
S1001、源基站21向网络设备91发送第一请求消息,该第一请求消息用于请求网络设备91反馈参考时钟信息。
S1002、网络设备91向源基站21发送参考时钟信息。
S1003、源基站21根据该参考时钟信息,确定满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程。
例如,网络设备91可以存储有源小区31的相邻小区即小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,在S1001中,第一请求消息用于请求网络设备91反馈源小区31的相邻小区的参考时钟信息,相应的,在S1002中,网络设备91向源基站21发送小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息。在S1003中,源基站21根据小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,确定小区32、小区33和小区34中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与源小区31的时钟精度相同的小区为目标小区。若小区32、小区33和小区34中有两个或以上小区的时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与源小区31的时钟精度相同,即目标小区为多个,则可以按照上述实施例所述的方法,确定出多个目标小区中终端设备可以切换到的那个目标小区。
或者,网络设备91可以存储有源小区31的相邻小区即小区32、小区33和小区34分别对应的参考时钟信息,在S1001中,第一请求消息用于请求网络设备91反馈源小区31的相邻小区中至少一个候选小区的参考时钟信息,相应的,在S1002中,网络设备91向源基站21发送候选小区32和候选小区33的参考时钟信息。在S1003中,源基站21根据候选小区32和候选小区33的参考时钟信息,确定出候选小区32和候选小区33中时钟精度高于预设精度阈值的或与源小区31的时钟精度相同的小区为目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程,该切换流程具体如上所述,此处不再赘述。
在又一种可能的方式中,该源基站21可以检测本地保存的参考时钟信息,并向网络设备91发送第一请求消息,进一步,该源基站21根据本地保存的参考时钟信息和网络设备91反馈的参考时钟信息,确定满足预设条件的目标小区,并发起终端设备由源小区切换至目标小区的切换流程。具体的,目标小区为小区32,目标基站为小区32中的基站22,该切换流程可包括如图11所示的如下几个步骤:
S1004、源基站21向目标基站发送第二请求消息,该第二请求消息用于请求目标基站反馈终端设备由源小区切换到目标小区的切换响应信息。
在本实施例中,该第二请求消息可以是如上所述的切换请求消息。
S1005、目标基站向源基站21发送切换响应信息,该切换响应信息为ACK。
S1006、源基站21向终端设备发送切换指令,该切换指令用于指示终端设备由与源基站21连接切换到与目标基站连接。
可以理解的是,在本实施例中所述的参考时钟信息的含义与上述实施例所述的参考时钟信息的含义一致,此处不再赘述。
另外,该切换指令中还可以包括目标小区的参考时钟信息。也就是说,源基站21可以通过切换指令,将该目标小区32的参考时钟信息发送给该终端设备20,该终端设备20可以存储该目标小区32的参考时钟信息。
或者,当源基站21确定出满足预设条件的目标小区后,该源基站21还可以向该终端设备20发送RRC消息,该RRC消息可以包括该目标小区32的参考时钟信息,也就是说,源基站21还可以通过RRC消息将该目标小区32的参考时钟信息发送给该终端设备20,该终端设备20可以存储该目标小区32的参考时钟信息。
