Description

小区重选方法、装置及系统 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及小区重选方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
由于传统地面网络(terrestrial network,TN)不能为终端设备提供无缝覆盖,特别是在大海、沙漠、空中等无法部署网络设备的地方,非陆地网络(Non-terrestrial network,NTN)系统被引入到第五代(the 5th generation,5G)系统中。NTN系统可以包括卫星通信系统、高空平台(high altitude platform station,HAPS)通信系统或者其它非地面的通信系统。NTN系统通过将网络设备或者部分网络设备功能部署在卫星、移动无人机、或移动热气球等上面,为终端设备提供无缝覆盖,并且NTN系统受自然灾害影响较小,能提升5G系统的可靠性。
NTN系统中的网络设备通过转发其连接的地面基站的信号到地面,形成相应的小区。由于NTN系统中的网络设备是移动的,因此其连接的地面基站也会发生变化,根据网络设备连接的地面基站的不同,网络设备发送的信号也不同,因此存在网络设备转发的小区信号发生跳变的情况,也即发生小区跳变。
此外,针对TN系统,基于节能或者其它原因,在某一时刻或者某一段时间关闭某一小区,导致该小区的信号发生跳变,即TN系统中也存在小区跳变。
针对小区跳变的应用场景,终端设备如何执行小区重选,有待解决。

具体实施方式
如图1所示,为本申请实施例所适用的一种网络架构示意图,包括终端设备和网络设备。网络设备部署在NTN系统中,比如部署在卫星、移动无人机、或移动热气球等上面。该终端设备通过无线接口与网络设备通信。
终端设备(terminal device),是一种具有无线收发功能的设备,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)终端、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、用户设备(user equipment,UE)等。
网络设备,是无线网络中的设备,例如将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)节点。目前,一些RAN节点的举例为:gNB、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、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(base band unit,BBU),或无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wifi)接入点(access point,AP)、接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)等。在一种网络结构中,网络设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit,CU)节点、或分布单元(distributed unit,DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。在一种网络结构中,集中单元CU节点可以划分为控制面(CU-CP)和用户面(CU-UP)。其中CU-CP负责控制面功能,主要包含无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)和分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)-C。PDCP-C主要负责控制面数据的加解密,完整性保护,数据传输等。CU-UP负责用户面功能,主要包含服务数据适配协议(Service Data Adaptation Protocol,SDAP)和PDCP-U。其中SDAP主要负责将核心网的数据进行处理并将flow映射到承载。PDCP-U主要负责数据面的加解密,完整性保护,头压缩,序列号维护,数据传输等。其中CU-CP和CU-UP通过E1接口连接。CU-CP代表CU通过Ng接口和核心网连接。通过F1-C(控制面)和DU连接。CU-UP通过F1-U(用户面)和DU连接。当然还有一种可能的实现是PDCP-C也在CU-UP。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是NTN系统(如卫星通信系统、高空平台通信系统或者其它非地面的通信系统)的网络设备,也可以是TN的网络设备。为便于说明,本申 请实施例后续将以网络设备部署在卫星上为例进行说明。并且,为描述方便,本申请实施例后续将“卫星上的网络设备”用“卫星”进行替代说明。也即,本申请实施例后续涉及的终端设备与卫星之间的通信,实际上指的是终端设备与卫星上的网络设备之间的通信。这里统一说明,后续不再赘述。
按照卫星高度,即卫星轨位高度,可以将卫星系统分为如下三类:
1)高轨(Geostationary-Earth Orbit,GEO)卫星:又称为静止卫星,卫星运动速度与地球自转系统相同,因此卫星相对地面保持静止状态,对应的,GEO卫星的小区也是静止的。GEO卫星小区的覆盖较大,例如小区直径可能为500千米。
2)低轨(Low-Earth Orbit,LEO)卫星:卫星相对地面移动较快,大约7千米/秒,因此LEO卫星提供的服务覆盖区域也随之移动。
3)中轨卫星:介于高轨与低轨之间的卫星。
本申请实施例涉及的卫星可以是低轨卫星,也可以扩展到中轨卫星或其它移动的网络设备。为便于说明,本申请实施例后续简称为卫星。
卫星提供服务覆盖区域时,一般有两种形式。
第一种形式为透明转发(transparent)形式,卫星转发地面网络设备(如基站,以下均以地面网络设备为地面基站为例进行说明)的小区的信息。透明转发形式下,卫星小区可以是地面固定的,也可以随着卫星的移动而移动。卫星小区是地面固定的,是指卫星小区在地面的覆盖是固定的。具体的,可以是一段时间内是固定的,也可以是永久固定的。卫星小区随着卫星的移动而移动,即当卫星移动时,其生成的小区也跟随在地面上移动。如果卫星移动时,卫星和原基站的连接存在,一种可能的方式是原基站的小区跟着卫星走一会(即保持一段时间的连接);当卫星连接至新基站,则卫星转发新基站的小区的信息。在该透明转发形式中,卫星接收地面基站的信号并转发到地面,此时虽然卫星不停的运行,但是地面基站的位置不变,因此卫星转发的地面基站下的小区虽然也会随卫星的运行,有一定的移动,但是该小区的移动范围都是围绕基站的周边。
一种可能的设计,一个小区可以用物理小区标识(physical cell identifier,PCI)和频点,或者小区全局标识(cell global identifier,CGI)来标识。
第二种形式为再生(regenerative)形式,即卫星可以自己生成小区信息。比如,该形式下,卫星可以包括DU、基站或者IAB等类似功能的网络设备。再生形式下,卫星小区可以是地面固定的,也可以随着卫星的移动而移动。卫星小区是地面固定的,是指卫星小区在地面的覆盖是固定的。具体的,可以是一段时间内是固定的,也可以是永久固定的。卫星小区随着卫星的移动而移动,即当卫星移动时,其生成的小区也跟随在地面上移动。当卫星移动时,一种可能的实现方式是,其生成的小区也跟随在地面上移动。也即,卫星上的网络设备并不动态调整波束方向,卫星上的网络设备生成的波束随着卫星的移动,在地面上移动。
一般情况下,当卫星移走后,后续会有新的卫星移过来,以保证尽可能的连续覆盖。新的卫星和之前的卫星的覆盖区域可以相同,也可以不同。可以理解的,由于卫星的运行方向,波束发射方向,波束发射能力的不同,2个卫星的地面覆盖区域可能不一定完全相同。
针对上述第一种形式的卫星(即透明转发形式的卫星),由于卫星是移动的,卫星通过转发其连接的地面基站的信号到地面,形成相应的小区。根据卫星连接的地面基站的不 同,卫星发送的信号也不同,因此存在卫星转发的小区信号发生跳变的情况。其中,跳变有两种,下面分别说明。
跳变方式1,一个卫星可以同时连接多个(多于一个)地面基站。当卫星从连接基站1跳变为连接基站2时,卫星同时发送基站1和基站2的小区信号一段时间,但是在某一时刻卫星不再转发基站1的小区信号,即原覆盖区域上基站1的小区信号突然消失。本申请实施例中,可以称基站1的小区为“跳变小区”。
跳变方式2,一个卫星一次只连接一个地面基站。当卫星从基站1跳变为连接基站2时,卫星连接到基站2后,立即转发基站2的小区信号,断开和基站1的连接从而不再转发基站1的小区信号,即卫星的原覆盖区域上基站1的小区信号突然消失,基站2的小区信号突然出现。本申请实施例中,可以称基站1的小区为“跳变小区”。
“跳变小区”可以理解为小区是动态存在的,即在某一个时刻后,或者某一段时间该小区的信号在某一区域不存在或者消失。可选的,该小区的原覆盖区域可以由新的小区提供通信。
本申请实施例以NTN系统为例,可以理解的,本申请实施例也适用TN系统。比如TN系统中,基于节能或者其它原因,在某一时刻,或者某一段时间关闭某一小区,则该被关闭的小区也可以认为是“跳变小区”。
无论卫星的小区信息如何跳变,可能存在部分区域对应的小区信息可以不发生变化。如图2A所示,为卫星下的小区跳变的一个示例图。该示例以卫星1和卫星2仅支持转发一个基站的小区信号为例。在图中,以卫星从左向右移动为例。
T1时刻:卫星1和基站1连接,转发基站1的小区1的信号;卫星2和基站2连接,转发基站2的小区2的信号;卫星3和基站3连接,转发基站3的小区3的信号。
T2时刻(即将发生小区跳变前的某个时刻):卫星1和基站1连接,转发基站1的小区1的信号;卫星2和基站2连接,转发基站2的小区2的信号;卫星3和基站3连接,转发基站3的小区3的信号。
T2时刻相较于T1时刻,小区随着卫星的移动而发生移动,但还未发生小区跳变。
随着卫星向右移动,卫星1会断开和基站1的连接,跳变为和基站2连接,卫星2会断开和基站2的连接,跳变为和基站3连接。
T3时刻(发生小区跳变的时刻或发生跳变后的某个时刻):卫星0和基站1连接,转发基站1的小区1的信号;卫星1和基站2连接,转发基站2的小区2的信号;卫星2和基站3连接,转发基站3的小区3的信号。
从图2A中可以看出,跳变前由小区1和小区2的覆盖区域,在跳变后,跳变为由小区2和小区3覆盖。也即,卫星1从连接基站1并转发基站1的小区1的信号,跳变为连接基站2并转发基站2的小区2的信号,卫星2从连接基站2并转发基站2的小区2的信号,跳变为连接基站3并转发基站3的小区3的信号。
并且,当跳变前(比如T2时刻)的小区1和小区2之间存在重叠覆盖区域时,该区域在跳变前后始终存在小区2的信号。比如,参考图2A,在T2时刻,UE1处于小区1和小区2的重叠覆盖区域,该区域内同时存在小区1和小区2的信号。在T3时刻,由于卫星发生移动,假设UE1未移动或者未移出上述重叠覆盖区域,则UE1将处于小区2和小区3的重叠覆盖区域,该区域内同时存在小区2和小区3的信号。因此,可以看出,该重叠覆盖区域在跳变前后始终存在小区2的信号。对于处于重叠覆盖区域的UE(比如图2A 的UE1),如果执行重选到跳变后的小区3,随着卫星继续移动,需要再次从小区3重选回之前的小区2。如此,将造成UE频繁更换驻留小区,增加了UE能耗。
综上所述,针对小区跳变的应用场景,UE如何执行小区重选,是本申请实施例要解决的问题。
如图3所示,本申请实施例提供一种小区重选方法。该方法可应用于小区跳变场景。在UE侧,该方法可以由UE、或用于UE的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。在网络侧,该方法可以由网络设备(可以是RAN设备或DU或CU)、或用于网络设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。为便于说明,下面以UE和网络设备执行该方法为例进行说明。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤301,网络设备向UE发送重选配置信息。
相应地,UE可以接收到该重选配置信息。
当网络设备部署在卫星,以透明转发形式为例,网络设备可以从TN的基站接收该重选配置信息并转发给UE。
该重选配置信息包括用于重选的配置信息。该重选配置信息可以包括重选触发信息、重选目标信息的至少一种。可选的,该重选配置信息还可以包括重选时间范围信息。
可选的,重选配置信息可以通过系统消息、寻呼消息、组播消息、单播消息、短消息、下行控制信息的任一种携带。其中,重选触发信息用于触发UE执行测量以进行小区重选。也即,当满足重选触发信息时,无论UE的服务小区的质量是否满足重选条件,UE都执行测量以进行小区重选。重选触发信息可以包括重选触发时间信息,或重选触发指示信息。
重选触发时间信息用于指示UE当重选触发时间到达时UE立即执行测量以进行小区重选流程。其中,上述“重选触发时间信息”可以通过多种方式进行表达,例如,该重选触发时间信息可以是绝对时间(如通用协调时间(universal time coordinated,UTC)、全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)时钟、网络广播的系统帧号(SFN system frame number,SFN)等其它时间信息的至少一种);和/或,该重选触发时间信息可以是相对时间(如GPS时钟计数偏移、以网络广播的SFN为参考的相对SFN偏移等其它时间信息的至少一种)。作为一种实现方式,当该重选触发时间信息包括绝对时间和相对时间时,UE可以根据上述绝对时间和相对时间确定重选触发时间。
重选触发指示信息用于指示UE立即执行测量以进行小区重选。重选触发指示信息也可以称为或重选触发命令、或重选触发指令。例如可以通过至少一位的比特信息触发UE立即执行测量以进行小区重选。作为一种实现方式,UE可以根据重选触发指示信息,立即根据服务小区的邻区的重选优先级配置信息执行测量。重选优先级配置信息比如可以包括频点信息、频点优先级信息、频点下的PCI信息中一项或多项。其中,服务小区的邻区包括同频邻区、异频邻区、异系统邻区中的一项或多项。重选优先级配置信息可以包括专用重选优先级配置信息和/或公共重选优先级配置信息。其中,通过专用信令发送的重选优先级配置信息可以称为专用重选优先级配置信息,通过系统消息发送的重选优先级配置信息可以称为公共重选优先级配置信息。可以理解的是,本申请实施例中,重选配置信息可以与重选优先级配置信息通过不同的消息或者通过不同的信令流程发送给UE,或者,重选配置信息也可以与重选优先级配置信息通过一条消息发送给UE。
可以理解的,上述的“UE执行测量”可以包括UE执行对本小区的测量、同频测量、异频测量、异系统测量的至少一种。或者,“UE执行测量”可以理解为UE执行小区重选的测 量。可选的,作为一种可能的方式,UE对服务小区的测量可以是周期性执行的。此外,“UE不执行测量”可以理解为UE不执行小区重选的测量。
其中,重选目标信息用于指示重选测量的目标小区的信息;或者,重选目标信息用于触发UE根据目标小区的信息执行测量以进行小区重选。该重选目标信息可以为目标小区的频点,或者为目标小区的频点和物理小区标识。可选的,重选目标信息还可以用于指示目标小区的优先级最高。可以理解的,当重选目标信息存在时,“UE执行测量”至少可以包括“UE根据目标小区的信息执行测量”。
其中,重选时间范围信息用于指示在该时间范围内,UE可以根据重选触发信息和/或重选目标信息进行测量以进行小区重选。重选时间范围信息可以包括时间长度,或者起始时间信息和时间长度,或者起始时间信息和终止时间信息,或者终止时间信息。在除重选时间范围信息之外的其它时间,UE可以忽视重选触发信息和/或重选目标信息,比如,UE可以根据上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选。也就是说,该重选时间范围信息限制了重选触发信息和/或重选目标信息的生效时间,在该重选时间范围信息指示的时间范围内,该重选触发信息和/或重选目标信息有效,而在该重选时间范围信息指示的时间范围之外,该重选触发信息和/或重选目标信息无效,例如,UE可以忽视重选触发信息和/或重选目标信息。一种可能的方式中,在该重选触发信息和/或重选目标信息无效的情况下,UE按照正常的流程或者规则执行测量以进行小区重选(也就是UE进行传统的小区重选流程),该传统的小区重选流程例如参考TS38.304 v15.4.0或者TS36.304 v15.4.0中相应的章节。
步骤302,UE根据重选配置信息,执行测量以进行小区重选。
以重选配置信息至少包括重选目标信息(比如可以为目标小区的频点,或者为目标小区的频点和物理小区标识)为例,UE可以根据该重选目标信息对目标小区进行测量以执行小区重选。即,当该重选目标信息存在时,UE可以仅根据该重选目标信息执行测量,也即可以忽略重选优先级配置信息。若UE测量到重选目标信息指示的目标小区,或者UE测量到重选目标信息指示的目标小区且目标小区的质量满足第一质量条件,UE执行小区重选到目标小区。若UE无法测量到重选目标信息指示的目标小区,或者UE测量到重选目标信息指示的目标小区但目标小区的质量不满足第一质量条件,UE将无法执行小区重选到目标小区,该情形下,UE可以根据重选优先级配置信息执行小区重选,也就是说,该情形下,UE按照正常的流程或者规则执行测量以进行小区重选。
其中,本申请实施例中,小区(如上述目标小区)的质量包括接收信号码功率(received signal code powe,RSCP)、参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)、信噪比(Signal Noise Ratio,SNR)、信号与干扰加噪声比(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio,SINR)、参考信号强度指示(reference signal strength indication,RSSI)或其它信号质量中的至少一种。小区的质量可以是小区级的,波束级的,同步信号/物理广播信道块级的,空口技术(numerology)级的,切片(slicing)级的,或部分带宽(Bandwidth part,BWP)级的。下行信号质量可以通过测量下行同步信道、信道状态信息参考信号(Channel-State Information(CSI)reference signal,CSI-RS)、解调参考信号(Demodulation reference signal,DMRS)、小区参考信号(Cell-Specific Reference Signal,CRS)信号、同步信号(synchronization signal,SS)、同步信号/物理广播信道块(synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block,SS/PBCH  Block)或者其它下行信号中的至少一种获得的。对应于小区的质量,小区的质量参考门限可以包括RSCP门限,RSRP门限,RSRQ门限,SNR门限,SINR门限,RSSI门限或其它质量门限中的至少一种。
波束可以理解为空间资源,可以指具有能量传输指向性的发送或接收预编码向量。并且,该发送或接收预编码向量能够通过索引信息进行标识,所述索引信息可以对应配置终端的资源标识(identity,ID),比如,所述索引信息可以对应配置的CSI-RS的标识或者资源;也可以是对应配置的SSB的标识或者资源;也可以是对应配置的上行探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)的标识或者资源。可选地,所述索引信息也可以是通过波束承载的信号或信道显示或隐式承载的索引信息。所述能量传输指向性可以指通过该预编码向量对所需发送的信号进行预编码处理,经过该预编码处理的信号具有一定的空间指向性,接收经过该预编码向量进行预编码处理后的信号具有较好的接收功率,如满足接收解调信噪比等;所述能量传输指向性也可以指通过该预编码向量接收来自不同空间位置发送的相同信号具有不同的接收功率。
或者,该重选目标信息还可以用于指示该目标小区的优先级最高或者质量排序最高或者质量最好。一种可能的实现方式中,当UE测量到该目标小区,则UE执行重选到该目标小区;或者UE认为该目标小区的质量最好,因而UE执行重选到该目标小区。也即,UE根据该重选目标信息,确定优先重选到该目标小区,因此当测量到该目标小区,则执行重选到该目标小区。
可以理解的,本申请实施例中“质量最好”的小区可以是候选小区中的ranking值最大或者排序最高的小区,或者可以是第二小区中的拥有最多好波束(good beam,比如波束质量超过某一门限的波束)数的小区,第二小区包括拥有最大ranking值的小区、以及包括其ranking值与最大ranking值的差值在一定范围内(如x dB,其中x是可配置的)的小区。其中,ranking值可以理解为根据小区的测量质量确定的质量结果。
以重选配置信息至少包括重选时间范围信息为例,UE可以根据重选时间范围信息启动定时器。比如,重选时间范围信息包括时间长度,则UE可以在收到重选配置信息后启动定时器,或者当重选触发时间到达后启动定时器,因此定时器的有效时间范围为:定时器启动时刻至定时器启动时刻+时间长度。再比如,重选时间范围信息包括起始时间信息和终止时间信息,则UE在起始时间信息指示的时刻启动定时器,在终止时间信息指示的时刻停止定时器,因此定时器的有效时间范围为:起始时间信息至终止时间信息。
以重选配置信息至少包括重选触发时间信息为例。当重选触发时间信息指示的时间到达后,UE立即执行测量以进行小区重选流程。
以重选配置信息至少包括重选触发时间信息和重选时间范围信息为例。该重选时间范围信息指示一个时间长度。当重选触发时间信息指示的时间到达后,UE启动定时器,且设定定时器的时间长度为重选时间范围信息指示的时间长度。UE在定时器启动时立即执行测量以进行小区重选流程,在定时器停止时,UE可以根据服务小区的质量确定是否执行测量以进行小区重选。
作为一种实现方式,在定时器运行时间内,UE可以根据重选配置信息进行小区重选。在定时器运行时间内,若UE重选到其它小区,UE可以停止定时器。若定时器超期,UE未重选到其它小区,可选的,UE可以根据上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行小区重选。此时,可选的,UE可以删除上述重选配置信息。作为又一种实现方式,若重选配置信息 包含重选目标信息,UE可以在定时器运行时间内优先根据重选目标信息执行测量,若UE重选到重选目标信息指示的目标小区,UE停止定时器;若在定时器运行时间内UE无法重选到上述目标小区,UE可以根据上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量。作为又一种实现方式,在定时器运行时间内,UE同时根据重选目标信息和上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行小区重选。比如,当UE测量到多个重选的候选小区时,若包括了重选目标信息指示的目标小区,则UE执行重选到该目标小区;或者UE认为该目标小区的质量最好,因而UE执行重选到该目标小区;或者UE执行重选到质量最好的小区。作为又一种实现方式,在定时器运行时间内,UE仅根据重选目标信息指示的目标小区执行测量。若在定时器运行时间内,UE无法重选到该目标小区,当定时器超期后UE可以根据上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量。作为又一种实现方式,若重选配置信息不包含重选目标信息,UE可以在定时器运行时间内根据上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选,即,无论UE的服务小区的质量是否满足重选条件,在定时器运行时间内,UE都根据上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量。
作为一种实现方式,当UE执行小区重选到其它小区时,UE可以丢弃上述重选配置信息。
作为一个具体的实施方式,以重选配置信息包括重选触发时间信息、重选目标信息和重选时间范围信息为例,且以网络设备为透明转发形式的卫星上的网络设备为例进行描述。参考图2A,在T2时刻之前的某个时刻,基站2确定重选配置信息包括:
重选触发时间信息:T2;
重选目标信息:小区3所在的频点和小区3的PCI;
重选时间范围信息:时间段信息,以该时间段的长度为T2至T3为例。
基站2向小区2下的UE(包括UE1、UE2)发送上述重选配置信息。例如,基站2可以通过与其连接的卫星2上的网络设备向UE发送上述重选配置信息。UE1和UE2根据上述重选配置信息,进行与小区重选相关的操作。
以卫星2上的网络设备或基站2在T2时刻之前的任意时刻向UE发送上述重选配置信息为例。比如,当T2时刻到达,UE1和UE2在T2至T3的时间范围内仅根据重选目标信息测量到小区3的质量,且小区3的质量满足第一准则,则UE1和UE2重选到小区3。
再比如,由于信号遮挡或者其它原因,在T2至T3的时间段内,UE1没有测量到小区3的质量,则UE1在T2至T3的时间段内可以根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量,以及,在T2至T3的时间段之外也可以根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量。一种可能的实施方式中,UE1根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量可以是按照现有技术中的小区重选机制(比如,可以参考3GPP TS38.304 v15.4.0中的相关描述)确定重选的目标小区。比如UE1测量到多个满足质量条件的小区,UE1可以根据频点优先级执行小区重选,比如尝试重选到频点优先级最高的小区中的质量最好的小区。这里的频点优先级是重选优先级配置信息的一个示例。
基于上述实施例,引入包括重选触发信息的重选配置信息,基于该重选配置信息,给出了小区跳变场景下UE执行小区重选的实现方法,有助于避免发生UE无法正常通信的情况。进一步的,当重选配置信息包括重选目标信息,还可以减少不必要的重选测量,节省UE能耗。当重选配置信息包括重选时间范围信息,可以减少重选测量的次数,从而进一步节省UE能耗。
如图4所示,本申请实施例提供又一种小区重选方法。该方法可应用于触发跳变的场景,或用于跳变发生后场景。在UE侧,该方法可以由UE、或用于UE的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。在网络侧,该方法可以由网络设备(可以是RAN设备或DU或CU)、或用于网络设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。为便于说明,下面以UE和网络设备执行该方法为例进行说明。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤401,网络设备向UE发送重选配置信息和不重选配置信息。
相应地,UE可以接收到该重选配置信息和不重选配置信息。
其中,该重选配置信息包括重选触发信息、重选目标信息、重选时间范围信息中的至少一种。其中,关于重选触发信息、重选目标信息、重选时间范围信息的具体描述,可以参考图3对应的实施例的相关描述。当网络设备部署在卫星,以透明转发形式为例,网络设备可以从TN的基站接收该重选配置信息并转发给UE。
可以理解的,重选配置信息和不重选配信息可以携带在同一消息中,也可以携带在不同的消息中。可选的,重选配置信息和不重选配置信息分别均可以通过系统消息、寻呼消息、组播消息、单播消息、短消息、下行控制信息的任一种携带。
重选配置信息的具体实现方式可以参考图3对应的实施例的描述,这里不再赘述。
不重选配置信息包括不重选条件信息、不重选区域信息中的至少一种。可选的,不重选配置信息还可以包括不重选时间范围信息。可以理解的是,不重选配置信息也可以称为重选配置去激活信息。
若UE确定其满足不重选配置信息,UE可以不根据重选配置信息执行测量,比如,UE可以继续驻留在当前的服务小区,即服务小区不变。
或者,若重选配置信息包括重选目标信息且不重选配置信息满足,UE可以不根据重选目标信息执行测量。可选的,UE可以根据前述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选。
不重选条件信息用于指示UE在满足不重选条件信息时不根据重选配置信息执行测量。不重选条件信息可以包括测量目标小区的信息,或者包括测量目标小区的信息和质量门限。其中,测量目标小区的信息可以为频点、或为频点和物理小区标识、或为CGI。可以理解的,当不重选条件信息包括测量目标小区的信息时,“UE执行测量”至少可以包括“UE根据该测量目标小区的信息执行测量”。
不重选区域信息用于指示UE确定不需要根据重选配置信息执行测量的区域。不重选区域信息可以包括经度和/或纬度范围,或者其它区域范围信息。
不重选时间范围信息用于指示UE确定不需要根据重选配置信息执行测量的时间范围。即在该不重选时间范围信息指示的时间范围内,UE不根据重选配置信息执行测量。该不重选时间范围信息可以包括最晚的不根据重选配置信息执行测量的时间信息,或者,不根据重选配置信息执行测量的截止时间信息。最晚的不根据重选配置信息执行测量的时间信息或者不根据重选配置信息执行测量的截止时间信息可以为重选触发时间信息,或者重选触发时间信息后的某一时刻。或者,不重选时间范围信息确定的最晚时间为重选时间范围信息确定的终止时间,或者为重选时间范围信息确定的终止时间后的某一时刻。或者,作为又一种可能的实现方式,不重选时间范围信息即为图3对应的实施例中的重选时间范围 信息。具体参考图3对应的实施例中的描述,这里不再赘述。作为一种可能的实现方式,也可以预定义不重选时间范围信息为重选触发时间信息,也即不重选时间范围信息指示的时间范围与重选触发时间信息指示的时间范围相同。
步骤402,UE根据不重选配置信息,判断是否根据重选配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选。
作为一种实现方式,以不重选配置信息至少包括测量目标小区的信息,或者测量目标小区的信息和质量门限为例。其中,网络设备可以根据卫星的运行轨迹、相邻小区的信息确定不重选条件信息中的测量目标小区的信息。可选的,质量门限也可以是预定义的,即重选配置信息可以不携带质量门限。作为一个示例,参考图2A,网络设备向卫星2的小区2的UE发送不重选条件信息包括:小区1的频点和PCI,若UE确定可以测量到小区1,则UE不根据重选配置信息执行测量。比如UE1,在小区跳变前可以测量到小区1,则小区跳变后,UE不根据重选配置信息执行测量,即UE1仍然驻留在小区2,也即UE1的服务小区仍然为小区2。或者,若UE测量到的小区1的质量高于质量门限,则UE不执行重选。
作为又一种可能的实现方式,以不重选配置信息至少包括不重选区域信息为例。若UE可以确定其处于不重选区域,则UE不根据重选配置信息执行测量。其中,UE可以根据其定位能力确定的位置信息确定其处于不重选区域,也可以是根据从网络设备接收的位置信息确定其处于不重选区域。作为一个示例,参考图2A,网络设备向卫星2的小区2的UE发送不重选区域信息指示的经度和/或纬度范围包括图2A中的重叠覆盖区域A。UE1确定其处于该重叠覆盖区域A,则在发生小区跳变之后,确定不根据重选配置信息执行测量。
作为又一种可能的实现方式,以不重选配置信息至少包括不重选时间范围信息为例,UE可以根据不重选时间范围信息启动定时器。比如,不重选时间范围信息包括时间长度,则UE可以在收到不重选配置信息后,启动定时器,因此定时器的有效时间范围为:定时器启动时刻至定时器启动时刻+时间长度。再比如,不重选时间范围信息包括起始时间信息和终止时间信息,则UE在起始时间信息指示的时刻启动定时器,在终止时间信息指示的时刻停止定时器,因此定时器的有效时间范围为:起始时间信息至终止时间信息。再比如,不重选时间范围信息包括不根据重选配置信息执行测量的截止时间信息,则UE收到不重选配置信息后,启动定时器,因此定时器的有效时间范围为:定时器启动时刻至不根据重选配置信息执行测量的截止时间信息指示的时刻。在定时器运行时间内,UE可以不根据重选配置信息执行测量。可选的,在定时器运行时间内,UE可以不执行测量;可以理解的,这里的“测量”为除对本小区的测量之外的测量。或者,在定时器运行时间内,UE仅不根据重选配置信息进行测量。可选的,UE可以根据上述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选。
作为一个具体的实施例,以终端设备接收网络设备发送的重选配置信息和不重选配置信息为例,且以网络设备为基站透明转发形式的卫星为例,进行描述。比如,参考图2A,在T2时刻之前的某个时刻,基站2确定不重选配置信息和重选配置信息。
其中,不重选配置信息包括:
1)测量目标小区的信息:小区1所在的频点和小区1的PCI;
2)质量门限:Q1;
3)不重选时间范围信息:截止时间信息为T3。
重选配置信息包括:
1)重选触发时间信息:T2;
2)重选目标信息:小区3所在的频点和小区3的PCI;
3)重选时间范围信息:T2至T3。
基站2向小区2下的UE(包括UE1、UE2)发送上述重选配置信息和不重选配置信息。例如,基站2可以通过与其连接的卫星2上的网络设备向UE发送上述重选配置信息和不重选配置信息。比如卫星2上的网络设备或基站2可以在T2时刻之前的任意时刻向UE发送上述重选配置信息和不重选配置信息。
UE1和UE2首先分别根据上述不重选配置信息,判断是否需要执行小区重选。
比如,UE1根据上述不重选配置信息,确定可以测量到小区1所在的频点和小区1的PCI,且小区1质量大于质量门限(Q1),则UE1确定其满足不重选配置信息的条件,即在T2后不需要根据重选配置信息进行测量。因此,当T2时刻到达后,UE1保持驻留在小区2,虽然其连接的卫星从卫星2变为了卫星1,但是从UE1的角度,UE1依然驻留在小区2。因此,针对该UE1,UE1在T3时刻之前,或者T2到T3的时间范围内,将不会执行以下步骤403的小区重选的操作。或者,可选的,UE1在T3时刻之前,可以根据前述描述的重选优先级配置信息执行测量。
步骤403,UE根据重选配置信息,执行测量以进行小区重选。
该步骤可选。
针对某个UE,当上述步骤402确定该UE不满足不重选配置信息时,则执行该步骤403。
UE根据重选配置信息,执行测量以进行小区重选的实现方式可以参考前述图3对应的实施例的步骤302的描述,这里不再赘述。
可选,作为另一种实现方法,针对某个UE,当上述步骤402确定该UE不满足不重选配置信息时,UE也可以根据重选配置信息和重选优先级配置信息执行测量,以进行小区重选。
基于上述实施例,通过引入不重选配置信息,避免了部分UE的不必要的小区重选,节省了UE的能耗。以及,通过引入重选配置信息,使得卫星场景下的UE执行小区重选,减少了不必要的重选测量,进一步节省UE能耗。
如图5所示,本申请实施例提供又一种小区重选方法。该方法可应用于触发跳变的场景,或用于跳变发生后场景。在UE侧,该方法可以由UE、或用于UE的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。在网络侧,该方法可以由网络设备(可以是RAN设备或DU或CU)、或用于网络设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。为便于说明,下面以UE和网络设备执行该方法为例进行说明。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤501,网络设备向UE发送不重选配置信息。
相应地,UE可以接收到不重选配置信息。
步骤502,UE根据不重选配置信息,判断是否执行测量以进行小区重选。
当UE满足不重选配置信息,则UE确定不执行测量以进行小区重选。
当UE不满足不重选配置信息,则UE确定执行测量以进行小区重选。可选的,可以 根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选。对于UE根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选的具体实现方法,可以参考图4对应的实施例的相关描述,不再赘述。
需要说明的是,图4对应的实施例中的不重选配置信息携带内容的各种不同实现方式,可以参考图4对应的实施例中的不重选配置信息的相应实现方式,这里不再赘述。也即,图5对应的实施例中的不重选配置信息可以与图4对应的实施例中的不重选配置信息相同,从而图5对应的实施例中判断是否满足不重选配置信息的各种不同实现方式,可以参考图4对应的实施例的相应描述。
图4对应的实施例与图5对应的实施例的主要区别是:图4对应的实施例中,当UE满足不重选配置信息,则UE确定不根据重选配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选,而是可以根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选或者不执行重选。当UE不满足不重选配置信息,则UE确定根据重选配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选,或者根据重选配置信息和重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选。而在图5对应的实施例中,当UE满足不重选配置信息,则UE确定不执行测量以进行小区重选。当UE不满足不重选配置信息,则UE确定执行测量以进行小区重选,比如可以根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量以进行小区重选。基于上述实施例,通过引入不重选配置信息,避免了部分UE的不必要的小区重选,节省了UE的能耗。可选的,通过引入重选优先级配置信息,使得卫星场景下的UE执行小区重选,减少了不必要的重选测量,进一步节省UE能耗。
如图6所示,本申请实施例提供又一种小区重选方法。该方法可应用于发生小区跳变前的场景。在UE侧,该方法可以由UE、或用于UE的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。在网络侧,该方法可以由网络设备(可以是RAN设备或DU或CU)、或用于网络设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路等)执行。为便于说明,下面以UE和网络设备执行该方法为例进行说明。
该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤601,网络设备向UE发送小区重选指示信息。
相应的,UE可以接收到该小区重选指示信息。
小区重选指示信息用于指示UE立即进行小区重选,或用于指示UE立即执行测量以进行小区重选,或用于指示UE将当前服务小区的频点的优先级设置为最低,或用于指示UE将当前服务小区的优先级设置为最低,或用于指示UE的当前服务小区会发生跳变,或用于指示当前服务小区为跳变小区。
例如,作为一种UE确定某一小区是否为“跳变小区”的实现方式是,当网络设备向UE发送小区重选指示信息,用于指示该小区为“跳变小区”;当网络设备未向UE发送小区重选指示信息,则该小区为“非跳变小区”。或者,网络设备向UE发送小区重选指示信息,该小区重选指示信息的不同取值指示该小区为“跳变小区”或者“非跳变小区”。
小区重选指示信息可以通过组播消息、单播消息、下行控制信息、短消息、寻呼消息、或系统消息携带。
步骤602,UE确定重选并驻留到目标小区,所述目标小区为测量到的小区质量满足第一准则的候选小区中的非跳变小区、且所述目标小区为合适小区(suitable cell)。
UE确定某个小区是否为跳变小区的方法比如可以是:UE读取小区发送的系统消息, 若该小区发送的系统消息中携带有小区重选指示信息(或者,携带的小区重选指示信息指示该小区为跳变小区),表明该小区是跳变小区。该小区重选指示信息与上述步骤601的小区重选指示信息的实现方式及作用类似,不再赘述。
其中,UE判断某个小区是否为合适小区的方法,比如可以是:UE根据UE是否为该小区所属的网络标识的签约用户以及该小区的状态是否为“接入限制”或“接入禁止”判断某个小区是否为合适小区的方法。作为一种可能的实现方式,首先,UE根据该小区发送的系统消息确定UE为该小区所属的网络标识的签约用户;其次,UE根据该小区发送的系统消息确定该小区的状态不为“接入限制”或“接入禁止”,则UE可以确定该小区为合适小区;若UE根据该小区发送的系统消息确定该小区的状态是“接入限制”或“接入禁止”,则UE可以确定该小区不是合适小区。
作为一个示例,下面给出上述步骤602中UE从候选小区中确定目标小区一种实现方式,包括以下步骤A至步骤C的部分或全部步骤。
步骤A,UE确定小区质量满足第一准则的候选小区的中的第一小区。
其中,第一小区指的是上述候选小区中的质量最好的小区。“质量最好”的小区可以是候选小区中的ranking值最大的小区,或者还可以是第二小区中的拥有最多好波束(good beam,比如波束质量超过某一门限的波束)数的小区,第二小区包括候选小区中的拥有最大ranking值的小区、以及包括其ranking值与最大ranking值的差值在一定范围内(如x dB,其中x是可配置的)的小区。
可选的,上述候选小区中不包括该UE的当前服务小区。
可选的,若上述候选小区中包括当前服务小区,则UE根据小区重选指示信息将当前服务小区的优先级设置为最低,或者理解为,当前服务小区的ranking值排序在最后。
步骤B,UE尝试执行对第一小区的重选。
UE尝试执行对第一小区的重选,可以理解为,尝试重选至该第一小区,但重选的结果可能是成功、也可能是失败。
其中,UE执行对第一小区的重选的过程,比如可以是:
1)若第一小区不是跳变小区、或不是合适小区,则确定不重选到该第一小区,即重选失败,进而转到执行步骤C。
2)若第一小区是非跳变小区、且是合适小区,则UE可以重选并驻留到该第一小区,即重选成功,流程结束。此时该第一小区可以称为目标小区。
步骤C,UE将该第一小区的ranking排序设置为最低,或者该将该第一小区的优先级最低。
也即,该步骤C中,是将候选小区的排序中,原来排序最前的第一小区,移动至排序的最后位置。
作为另一种实现方法,该步骤C中,UE也可以将候选小区的排序中,原来排序最前的第一小区,移动至排序的中间位置,也即移动至第一位与最后一位之间的某个位置。
该步骤C之后,上述候选小区中的小区的ranking排序发生变化,然后,转到上述步骤A。即根据最新的ranking排序结果,继续执行选择第一小区的操作,直至成功重选至候选小区中的某个小区,或者是在候选小区中的所有小区都不能重选成功。
可选的,若候选小区中的所有小区都不能重选成功,则UE可以驻留在当前服务小区。
作为一种实现方式,在上述步骤C中,UE又可以将候选小区中的当前第一小区,或 者,将候选小区中的当前第一小区以及与当前第一小区处于同一频点的其它小区(可以称为第三小区)排除在候选小区之外。或者UE可以在一段时间内将候选小区中的当前第一小区,或者,将候选小区中的当前第一小区以及第三小区排除在候选小区之外(比如,最大可以300s),即在该时间段内,当前第一小区,或者当前第一小区以及第三小区不参与后续步骤的第一小区的选择,也即在该段时间内,UE不选择当前第一小区,或者当前第一小区和第三小区中的任一小区作为下一轮选择中的第一小区。
下面结合两个示例进行说明。
示例1
结合图2A,作为一个示例,在T2时刻之前的任意时刻,UE1接收到服务小区(即小区2)通过卫星2发送的小区重选指示信息,UE1根据该小区重选指示信息确定小区2会发生跳变,从而触发UE1执行小区重选流程。比如UE1测量到小区1和小区2,UE1对小区1和小区2进行Ranking排序,并将小区2的Ranking排序设置为最低,从而得到的排序结果为:小区1>小区2。
然后UE1读取小区1(此时小区1可以称为第一小区)发送的系统消息,由于小区1是跳变小区,因此会在系统消息中携带小区重选指示信息,UE1通过读取小区1的系统消息,确定小区1是跳变小区。因此UE1确定驻留在当前服务小区,即小区2。即,若UE确定测量到的所有小区(即小区1、小区2)都是跳变小区,UE确定驻留在当前服务小区。
示例2
结合图2B,作为又一个示例,在T2时刻之前的任意时刻,UE1接收到服务小区(即小区2)通过卫星2发送的小区重选指示信息,UE1根该小区重选指示信息确定小区2会发生跳变,从而触发UE1执行小区重选流程。比如UE1测量到小区1、小区2和小区5,UE1对小区1、小区2和小区5进行Ranking排序,并将小区2的Ranking排序设置为最低,比如得到的排序结果为:小区1>小区5>小区2。
然后UE1读取小区1(此时小区1可以称为第一小区)发送的系统消息,假设小区1是跳变小区,因此会在系统消息中携带小区重选指示信息,UE1通过读取小区1的系统消息,确定小区1是跳变小区。此时,不管小区1是否为合适小区,UE1都会将小区1的Ranking排序设置为最低,或者理解为,由于小区1是跳变小区,无需再确认小区1是否为合适小区,UE1都会将小区1的Ranking排序设置为最低,得到新的排序结果为:小区5>小区2>小区1。
然后,UE1读取小区5(此时小区5可以称为第一小区)的系统消息,比如小区5的系统消息中没有携带小区重选指示信息(也即小区5是非跳变小区),且小区5状态不为“接入限制”或“接入禁止”(也即小区5是合适小区),从而UE1确定驻留到小区5。
基于上述实施例,在小区发生跳变前,网络设备指示UE重选到其它非跳变小区或驻留在当前服务小区,有助于避免小区跳变对UE的业务影响,保证了UE的业务体验。并且,有助于避免不必要的重选而造成的UE能耗增加。

需要说明的是,上述图3对应的实施例至图6对应的实施例,相互之间是可以相结合实施的。比如,可以先执行图6对应的实施例,若UE执行图6对应的实施例之后没有完成小区重选,也即UE测量到的小区均为跳变小区,因此UE停留在当前服务小区。此时,可以再执行上述图3对应的实施例,或图4对应的实施例,或图5对应的实施例,UE再确定是否尝试执行小区测量以进行小区重选。再比如,可以先执行图4对应的实施例,或图5对应的实施例,若在图4或图5对应的实施例中UE根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量,则可以结合图6对应的实施例进行实施,也即UE根据重选优先级配置信息执行测量,若测量的候选小区中存在目标小区(即质量最好的非跳变小区),则尝试重选至该目标小区。

或者,当网络设备包括CU和DU时,DU可以向CU发送不重选配置信息和/或重选配置信息和/或小区重选指示信息和/或跳变指示信息,该跳变指示信息用于CU确定DU下的小区会发生跳变。可选的,DU还可以向CU发送DU下的小区的信息。这里的小区的信息可以包括小区标识、小区频点、物理小区标识、小区全局标识的至少一种。比如,可以通过接口建立请求消息、接口建立响应消息、配置更新消息、配置更新确认消息的至少一种发送上述任意信息。以DU向CU发送不重选配置信息、重选配置信息、小区重选指示信息的至少一种为例,CU可以根据从DU接收的上述信息对系统消息或系统消息块进行编码,或者CU可以根据从DU接收的上述信息确定切换目标,使得CU可以及时将UE切换到其它网络设备。可选的,CU将UE切换到其它网络设备时,还可以指示切换原因为“卫星移动”或“小区跳变”。以DU向CU发送跳变指示信息和DU下的第一小区的信息为例,CU可以确定第一小区会发生跳变,因此CU会配置第一小区下的UE执行测量或者切换,保证第一小区下的UE的业务体验。
可选的,上述任意实施例中的网络设备(以下称为第一网络设备)也可以向其他网络设备(以下称为第二网络设备)(直接(通过基站和基站间的接口,比如X2,Xn接口)或间接(通过基站和核心网设备的接口,比如S1或NG接口)发送不重选配置信息和/或重选配置信息和/或小区重选指示信息和/或跳变指示信息。可选的,第一网络设备还可以向第二网络设备发送第一网络设备下的第一小区的信息。比如可以通过如下消息的至少一种发送上述信息:X2/Xn接口建立请求消息、X2/Xn接口建立响应消息、节点配置更新消息、节点配置更新确认消息、切换请求(handover request或者handover required)消息、切换请求确认消息、切换命令消息。通过上述交互机制,使得第二网络设备可以确定上述第一网络设备下的第一小区会发生跳变,从而使得第二网络设备可以确实是否避免第二网络设备下的UE重选或切换到第一网络设备。
