具体实施方式
为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本申请方案,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
请参阅图1,图1示出了一种通信系统,该通信系统包括用户设备(user equipment,UE)100和至少一个网络终端200。
其中,用户设备100也可称为移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)、移动台(mobile station,MS)等,是一种向用户提供语音或其他业务数据连通性的设备。作为一种方式,用户设备100可以是具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。作为另一种方式,用户设备100也可以是手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、可穿戴设备,虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制中的无线终端、无人驾驶中的无线终端、智慧家庭中的无线终端等,在此并不作限定。
网络终端200可以是一种部署在无线接入网中能够和用户设备100进行无线通信的设备,可以包括基站(base station,BS),其也可称为eNB(演进节点B)、BTS(基站收发器系统)或接入点等。其中,基站也可能有多种形式,比如宏基站、微基站、中继站和接入点等。
当网络设备200为基站时,每个基站均可以与特定地理覆盖范围(301、302、303)相关联,在该特定地理覆盖范围中支持与各种用户设备100的通信。其中,移动通信中将基站发送的无线信号覆盖的地理区域称之为小区,一般是指一个基站的信号所能覆盖的地理范围。一般来说,一个基站就是一个小区(一个基站也可以划分为几个小区,这时候小区和扇区就等同了),小区再分为扇区(一般情况下,一个小区有一个/二个/三个扇区,甚至更多),每个扇区再根据话务量决定载频的数量。
为方便描述,如下以移动终端作为用户设备示例说明用户设备的小区驻留过程。
移动终端在进行实际业务前需要在某个小区注册以完成网络注册的过程,移动终端只有在驻留小区成功后才可以接收来自网络的服务。通常地,为保证快速附着网络,移动终端一旦发现合适小区就可以选择在该小区驻留。其中,合适小区可以是指移动终端能驻留并可获得正常服务的小区,该小区有为移动终端服务的能力和资源,且该小区必须要满足小区选择准则。也就是说,移动终端如果想成功驻留一个小区,当前小区必须满足小区选择准则。其中,小区选择准则可以是指小区和移动终端之间的信道条件需要满足的信道质量标准,如S准则、R准则,H准则等。
在一些实施例中,当小区选择准则是S准则时,移动终端可以对将要驻留的小区进行测量,以便进行信道质量评估,以判断小区和移动终端之间的信道条件是否符合驻留的标准——S准则。当某个小区和移动终端之间的信道条件满足S准则之后,就可以被选择为驻留小区。其中,S准则可以是指移动终端测量的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP)和参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Received Quality,RSRQ)大于预设门限。
通常地,当移动终端在驻留到合适的小区之后,仍然会持续进行本小区测量,以测量该小区和移动终端之间的信道条件是否还满足S准则。如果不满足,则认为移动终端处于无网络服务状态(Out Of Service,OOS),即移动终端的网络服务状态为服务中断状态。然后移动终端会触发新的小区搜索,并在搜索到新的合适小区后,尝试驻留并恢复网络服务,如图2所示。
但是,由于在检测到OOS时已经不满足S准则,此时移动终端已经无法进行电话或者上网 等基本业务,即使在后续小区搜索过程中能快速找到新的小区,用户也能感知到一段时间的脱网行为,在这段时间内用户无法做任何网络相关业务,对用户体验有较大的影响。
基于此,发明人经过长期的研究发现,无论是何种情况,移动终端进入OOS状态之前都有一定的时间处于正常驻留的状态。因此,可以充分利用这段时间来判断移动终端是否处于临近OOS状态,当满足临近OOS状态的判断标准时,移动终端可主动触发小区搜索过程,并选择和驻留新的服务小区,让移动终端在一个信号强度和信号质量更好的小区上进行各种业务,保障了移动终端在进入OOS状态之前,能够提前离开弱信号小区,改善用户体验。
因此,发明人经过长期研究并提出了本申请实施例提供的小区搜索方法、装置、芯片、移动终端以及存储介质,可以利用移动终端进入OOS状态之前,信号变化的时间段,来提前检测移动终端的网络服务是否处于临近OOS状态,然后在检测到移动终端的网络服务处于临近OOS状态时,主动触发小区搜索,以使移动终端能够尽快驻留到网络条件更好的新小区上,并在新的小区上提供基本通信业务,避免移动终端因进入OOS状态而影响业务正常进行,改善用户体验。具体的小区搜索方法在后续的实施例中进行详细的说明。
请参阅图3,图3示出了本申请一个实施例提供的小区搜索方法的流程示意图。该小区搜索方法可应用于上述用户设备,在此不做限定。下面将以移动终端作为用户设备示例,说明本实施例的具体流程。在具体的实施例中,该小区搜索方法可应用于如图14所示的小区搜索装置700以及配置有所述小区搜索装置700的移动终端(图15)。下面将针对图3所示的流程进行详细的阐述,所示小区搜索方法具体可以包括以下步骤:
步骤S110:根据移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值,确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态。
其中,移动终端所驻留的服务小区可以是与移动终端建立连接的网络终端所在的小区,移动终端可以通过该网络终端发送和接收数据信息,以与网络建立各种数据业务。该数据业务可以是用于传输文本资源、音频资源或者图像资源,如视频下载、语音通话等。
在本申请实施例中,在移动终端成功驻留到服务小区之后,移动终端的无线资源控制层(RadioResource Control,RRC)可以根据移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值,来确定移动终端的网络服务状态。其中,网络服务状态可以是服务正常状态、临近中断状态、服务中断状态等,小区的信号测量值可以是小区的RSRP、RSRQ、导频强度等用于评估信号质量的参数,在此并不作限定。
在一些实施例中,服务正常状态可以理解为移动终端能在当前的服务小区驻留并可获得正常网络服务时的状态,此时服务小区覆盖于移动终端所处环境的无线信号通常比较强。服务中断状态可以理解为移动终端无法在当前的服务小区驻留,无法获取网络服务时的状态,此时服务小区覆盖于移动终端所处环境的无线信号通常很弱或者没有信号。临近中断状态可以为服务正常状态与服务中断状态之间的状态,也即移动终端当下还处于服务正常状态,但即将进入服务中断状态,此时服务小区覆盖于移动终端所处环境的无线信号通常比较弱,但即将会变得更弱或者没有信号。因此,可以根据实时测量服务小区得到信号测量值,来确定移动终端的网络服务状态是处于上述状态中的哪一种状态。
在一些实施例中,可以是根据信号测量值与预设门限的比较结果,来确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态,或者预测移动终端未来的网络服务状态。例如,连续多次测量得到的信号测量值都远远大于预设门限时,可认为当前环境的无线信号比较强,可确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态为服务正常状态。其中,预设门限可以是一种用于评估网络服务状态的参考数值,可以由协议约定或者由网络终端配置或者由移动终端确定,在此并不作限定,根据实际场景合理设置即可。如可以是由服务小区的网络终端通过系统广播消息配置。
作为一种实施方式,信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值时,可以是通过判断RSRP值和RSRQ值是否满足S准则,来确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态是否处于服务中断状态。具体地,可以先根据RSRP值和RSRQ值计算S值,然后根据S值与预设门限的比较结果,确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态是否处于服务中断状态。其中,预设门限需要保证当前服务小区符合移动终端驻留的最低条件,不能太小,如果预设门限太小,将会导致移动终端本身无法在当前服务小区驻留,已经不能获取网络服务时,仍被误判为未处于服务中断状态。例如,由于当前服务小区符合移动终端驻留的最低条件是S值>0,因此,预设门限可以设置为0或大于0的数值。
其中,S值可包括Srxlev值(dB)和Squal值(dB)。Srxlev值可用于衡量移动终端于当前 服务小区下的接收信号强度是否达到能驻留的标准,可根据RSRP值计算得到。Squal值可用于衡量移动终端于当前服务小区下的接收信号质量是否达到能驻留的标准,可根据RSRQ值计算得到。
具体地,可通过公式(1)计算Srxlev值:
Srxlev=Qrxlevmeas-(Qrxlevmin+Qrxlevminoffset)-Pcompensation   (1)
其中:Qrxlevmeas为测量服务小区得到的RSRP值;Qrxlevmin为服务小区所要求的最小信号接收功率,可以从服务小区广播的系统消息中获得;Qrxlevminoffset为对Qrxlevmin进行的偏移量,仅当移动终端驻留在VPLMN上搜索高优先级PLMN而采用Srxlev评估小区质量时,才需要对Qrxlevmin进行偏移,用于防止乒乓效应。Pcompensation为Max(PEMAX-PUMAX,0),即(PEMAX-PUMAX)和0中的最大值。PEMAX为移动终端在服务小区中允许的最大上行发送功率,可以从服务小区广播的系统消息中获得,PUMAX为由移动终端能力决定的最大上行发送功率,可以是根据移动终端的功率等级,确定出的移动终端最大射频发射功率。
具体地,可通过公式(2)计算Squal值:
Squal=Qqualmeas–(Qqualmin+Qqualminoffset)      (2)
其中:Qqualmeas为测量服务小区得到的RSRQ值;Qqualmin为服务小区所要求的最小信号接收质量,可以从服务小区广播的系统消息中获得;Qqualminoffset为对Qqualmin进行的偏移量,仅当移动终端驻留在VPLMN上搜索高优先级PLMN而采用Squal评估小区质量时,才需要对Qqualmin进行偏移。
可以理解的是,若预设门限设置0,则当计算得到的S值<0时,可以判定服务小区不满足S准则,移动终端无法再驻留到该服务小区,移动终端当前处于服务中断状态;当计算得到的S值>0时,可以判定服务小区满足S准则,移动终端仍可驻留到该服务小区,可认为移动终端当前未处于服务中断状态。
又由于移动终端处于服务正常状态时和处于临近中断状态时,都可认为移动终端当前未处于服务中断状态,且移动终端处于服务正常状态时的S值通常会大于移动终端处于临近中断状态时的S值,因此,可以根据得到的S值大于预设门限的具体幅度,来确定移动终端是处于服务正常状态。还是处于临近中断状态。例如,若预设门限设置0,当计算得到的S值远远大于门限0时,如S值为10,则可确定移动终端是处于服务正常状态,而当计算得到的S值虽大于门限0但趋近于门限0时,如S值为2,则可确定移动终端是处于临近中断状态。
在一些实施方式中,不同的网络服务状态也可以对应设置不同的预设门限,从而可以根据信号测量值具体满足的预设门限,确定对应的网络服务状态。例如,服务正常状态对应第一门限,临近中断状态对应第二门限,服务中断状态对应第三门限等,当信号测量值当前满足第一门限时,确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态为服务正常状态。又例如,在一个具体的实施例中,当信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值时,也可以根据计算得到的S值满足不同的门限,确定对应的不同的网络服务状态。例如。第一门限为(6,+∞),第二门限为(0,6),第三门限为(-∞,0),当计算得到的S值>6时,满足第一门限,可确定移动终端当前处于服务正常状态,当计算得到的0<S值<6时,满足第二门限,可确定移动终端当前处于临近中断状态,当计算得到的S值<0时,满足第三门限,可确定移动终端当前处于服务中断状态。
在另一些实施例中,也可以是根据信号测量值的变化趋势,来确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态,或者预测移动终端未来的网络服务状态。例如,若多次测量得到的信号测量值呈衰减(降低)趋势,且最新的信号测量值又足够低时,可认为移动终端正在向服务小区中弱信号覆盖区域移动,或者向服务小区的信号覆盖盲区移动,此时可确定移动终端处于临近中断状态,即将进入服务中断状态。相反地,若多次测量得到的信号测量值呈上升趋势,且最新的信号测量值又足够高时,可认为移动终端正在向服务小区中强信号覆盖区域移动,此时可确定移动终端处于服务正常状态。
在一些实施例中,可以是根据一段时间内的信号测量值的变化趋势来确定移动终端的网络服务状态,也可以是根据一定数量的信号测量值的变化趋势来确定移动终端的网络服务状态,在并不作限定。如可以根据近10次测量得到的信号测量值的变化趋势,来确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态。
可以理解的是,移动终端的不断移动,会使得服务小区与移动终端之间的信号测量值时刻发生变化。而如果移动终端从服务小区中强信号覆盖区域,向服务小区中弱信号覆盖区域移动, 或者向服务小区的信号覆盖盲区移动,则可以发现,服务小区与移动终端之间的信号测量值在移动期间会呈降低的趋势,而且可能未来的信号测量值会越来越低。而如果移动终端仅在服务小区中强信号覆盖区域移动,服务小区与移动终端之间的信号测量值在移动期间可能会持续性的上下波动,并不会大范围地呈降低的趋势。因此,信号测量值的变化趋势与移动终端当前的网络服务状态具有相关性。从而可以根据信号测量值的不同的变化趋势,来确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态。其中,信号测量值的变化趋势可以是RSRP值和RSRQ值的变化趋势,也可以是计算得到的S值的变化趋势,在此并不作限定。
可理解的是,上述根据信号测量值,确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态的方式仅为举例,在本申请实施例中并不作限定。例如,也可以结合上述的信号测量值与预设门限的比较结果和信号测量值的变化趋势,共同确定移动终端的网络服务状态,以提高网络服务状态的预测准确性。
步骤S120:当所述网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,启动所述移动终端的小区搜索,所述临近中断状态为服务正常状态与服务中断状态之间的状态。
在本申请实施例中,在确定出移动终端的网络服务状态之后,可以判断该网络服务状态是否为临近中断状态,以确定后续是否有必要进入提前避免中断的处理环节。具体地,当网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,可认为移动终端即将进入服务中断状态,此时移动终端有必要进入避免中断的处理环节,也即可以立即启动移动终端的小区搜索,以使移动终端能够尽快选择并驻留到新小区,让移动终端在一个信号强度和信号质量更好的小区上进行各种业务,使得移动终端在进入服务中断状态之前,能够提前离开服务小区中的弱信号小区或无信号区,避免移动终端因进入服务中断状态而影响业务正常进行,改善用户体验。其中,移动终端启动的小区搜索,可以是对全频段进行小区搜索,也可以是根据保存的在此之前历史搜索过的频点频段,进行小区搜索,在此并不作限定。
在一些实施例中,当确定的网络服务状态为服务正常状态时,由于并不是临近中断状态,可认为移动终端在短时间内并不会进入服务中断状态,此时移动终端没有必要进入避免中断的处理环节,也即可以不用启动移动终端的小区搜索,不用选择并驻留到新小区。
可以理解的是,由于网络服务状态通常是由服务正常状态—>临近中断状态—>服务中断状态的顺序变更,因此,在确定为服务中断状态之前,移动终端通常已经确定了临近中断状态。而在本申请实施例中,确定了临近中断状态时,移动终端会立即启动小区搜索,也即当确定当前处于服务中断状态时,移动终端的小区搜索实际上已经持续了一段时间,与现有的在确定了服务中断状态之后,才开始进行小区搜索的方案相比,提前了小区搜索的触发时间。
也就是说,移动终端会在进入服务中断状态之前的临近中断状态,主动提前启动小区搜索,以提前搜索周围是否有更好的小区可驻留。使得移动终端在进入服务中断状态之前,能够提前离开当前已不适合驻留的服务小区,避免移动终端进入服务中断状态。可以理解的是,如果确定当前处于服务中断状态,可以认为从之前的临近中断状态开始到目前进行的一段时间的小区搜索,并未找到更好的新小区可驻留,此时小区搜索仍需继续进行,以尽快找到可驻留的新小区。因为如果在之前的临近中断状态开始进行的小区搜索,已经找到更好的新小区可驻留,那么移动终端在驻留到新小区后,当前不会处于服务中断状态。
本申请实施例提供的小区搜索方法,通过获取移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值,以根据该信号测量值,确定移动终端的网络服务状态,并在确定出的网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,启动移动终端的小区搜索,以驻留到新的服务小区。其中,该临近中断状态为服务正常状态与服务中断状态之间的状态。从而可以提前检测移动终端的网络服务是否即将进入服务中断状态,然后在检测到移动终端的网络服务即将进入服务中断状态时,触发小区搜索,以使移动终端能够尽快驻留到网络条件更好的新小区上,使得用户的各项基本业务能够不因服务中断而受到影响,提升了用户体验。
请参阅图4,图4示出了本申请另一个实施例提供的小区搜索方法的流程示意图。下面将针对图4所示的流程进行详细的阐述,所示小区搜索方法具体可以包括以下步骤:
步骤S210:获取移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值。
在本申请实施例中,在需要检测移动终端的网络服务状态时,可以先获取移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值。在一些实施例中,移动终端可以是定期或不定期地测量服务小区的信号质量。当移动终端定期测量服务小区的信号质量时,如可以是每隔128ms,测量一次服务 小区的信号质量,移动终端可以持续获取到信号测量值,以便实时确定移动终端当前的网络服务状态。
在另一些实施例中,移动终端也可以每隔指定时长,获取在该指定时长内测量得到的多个信号测量值,以根据该指定时长的信号测量值,检测指定时长内的网络服务状态,同时也可预测未来可能会处于的网络服务状态。减少了数据获取次数。其中,指定时长可以根据实际场景合理设置,在此并不作限定。如可以是2S、3S、5S等。
由于移动终端在驻留到合适的小区之后,会持续进行本小区的信号测量,以测量驻留的小区和移动终端之间的信道质量是否仍满足驻留的标准。因此,在一些实施例中,可以将移动终端进行本小区的信号测量时,得到的信号参数,作为上述移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值进行获取。具体地,移动终端在驻留到合适的小区之后,会持续通过物理层(Physical Layer,PHY)测量小区信道质量——RSRP值和RSRQ值,并通过RRC层判断该RSRP值和RSRQ值是否满足S准则,如果不满足S准则,则认为移动终端处于OOS无服务状态,然后移动终端会尝试驻留新的小区以恢复网络服务。其中,测量小区信道质量时,得到的RSRP值和RSRQ值可以作为移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值进行获取。
步骤S220:根据在当前时刻之前预设时间段内的所述信号测量值,确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态。
在一些实施例中,由于无线信号质量和强度的波动性、不稳定性,导致移动终端测量得到的信号测量值可能也会不稳定,如在某个时刻突然达到峰值,或者在某个时刻突然达到谷值。如果仅根据当前的信号测量值来预估当前网络服务状态,容易误判,准确性不高。因此,可以综合一段时间的信号测量值,来预估当前网络服务状态。可以避免个别不稳定数值的干扰。
在一些实施例中,移动终端可以将每次测量得到的测量结果数据进行存储,测量结果数据可以包括信号测量值以及对应的测量时间点,存储测量结果数据的方式可以是数组、链表、文件等,在此并不作限定。从而每当移动终端进行网络服务状态预估时,都可以从存储空间中获取到,测量时间点在当前时刻之前预设时间段内的对应的信号测量值,也即在当前时刻之前预设时间段内测量得到的信号测量值,然后根据这批信号测量值,进行网络服务状态预估。其中,预设时间段为每次确定网络服务状态时,需要参考的信号测量时间区间,其可以是一个可分析的时间段,也即预设时间段内存在足够数量的信号测量值,可进行有效地预估。
作为一种方式,预设时间段可以是固定时间长度的时间段。也就是说,在当前时刻之前的固定时间长度所对应的时间段即为预设时间段,从而移动终端可以获取该固定时间长度内测量得到的信号测量值。其中,该固定时间长度可根据实际需求合理设置,在此不作限定。例如,固定时间长度设为3S,预设时间段即为在当前时刻前3S的时间窗口,若该3S内移动终端对服务小区的信号质量测量了25次,则移动终端可以获取该25次中每次测量得到的信号测量值。
作为另一种方式,预设时间段也可以是固定测量次数的时间段,也就是说,在当前时刻之前的固定测量次数所对应的时间段即为预设时间段,从而移动终端可以直接获取该固定测量次数中每次测量得到的信号测量值。该固定测量次数可根据实际需求合理设置,在此不作限定。例如,固定测量次数设为20次,预设时间段即为在当前时刻前面20次测量对应的时间窗口,终端设备可获取该20次中每次测量得到的信号测量值。
可以理解的是,当测量为周期性进行时,固定测量次数的时间段可以是固定的。示例性地,若移动终端每隔128ms对服务小区测量一次,则获取前20次的信号测量值,也即是获得前2.5S内的信号测量值。
在一些实施方式中,也可以通过固定长度的数组或者链表来存储测量结果数据,并按照先入先出(First Input First Output,FIFO)的方式存储。其中数组或者链表的首项表示最老数据,末项表示最新数据。从而在数组或者链表中元素的数量达到该固定长度后,移动终端可以根据该固定长度的数组或者链表中存储的信号测量值,得到固定测量次数的信号测量值。
示例性地,移动终端可以定义一个数量长度最大为Maximum的数组或者链表来存储PHY测量到的测量结果数据(如RSRP值和RSRQ值及测量时间点Time值)。其中,Maximum可以为奇数,也可以为偶数,此处不作限定。如果数组或者链表中存储的数据数量还未达到Maximum值,移动终端可持续收集并按照先入先出FIFO的方式存储,如果存储的数据数量已经达到Maximum值,在收到新的测量结果数据时,移动终端可移除最早存储的测量结果数据,并将其他测量结果数据依次前移,然后再将新的测量结果数据存储到数组或者链表的末项位置 上。从而数组或者链表中元素的数量可以始终保持为Maximum,即得到固定测量次数的信号测量值。
在一些实施例中,在获取到当前时刻之前预设时间段内的信号测量值后,移动终端可以是根据信号测量值的变化情况,来确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态。
作为一种方式,可以是根据先后信号测量值的变化趋势,来确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态。具体地,请参阅图5,步骤S220可以包括:
步骤S221a:根据在当前时刻之前预设时间段内的所述信号测量值,确定所述预设时间段内信号强度的变化趋势。
在一些实施方式中,移动终端可根据预设时间段内每次测量得到的信号测量值,确定出预设时间段内信号强度的变化趋势。信号测量值包括多种类型的值时,也可以分别确定每种类型的信号测量值的变化趋势。示例性,当信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值时,可以分别确定出预设时间段内RSRP值的变化趋势,和RSRQ值的变化趋势。
作为一种方式,可以是根据每次测量得到的信号测量值以及每次的测量时间点,生成信号测量值的变化曲线,从而可以根据曲线的走势确定预设时间段内信号强度的变化趋势。具体地,终端设备可以在时间横轴上将每次的测量时间点以时间先后顺序进行排列,并根据测量值纵轴的数值标准,在每个的测量时间点的上方标出对应的信号测量值,并将每个信号测量值用线条进行连接。从而生成信号测量值的变化曲线。其中,线条的类型可以是多种,在此并不作限定。如可以是折线、圆滑曲线、虚线、实线等。
作为另一种方式,也可以是对预设时间段内每次测量得到的信号测量值进行排序,以根据排序结果确定出预设时间段内信号强度的变化趋势。
步骤S222a:当所述变化趋势为降低趋势且当前时刻的信号测量值满足第一范围时,确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态为临近中断状态。
在一些实施例中,当预设时间段内信号测量值的大小,随着时间的向前推进越来越低时,可以认为预设时间段内信号强度的变化趋势为降低趋势。其中,可以是上述信号测量值的变化曲线呈下滑趋势,也可以是上述数组或者链表中存储的所有信号测量值,是按照从前往后的顺序逐渐降低排列。需要说明的是,并非一定是逐次降低,只要从前往后大致呈降低趋势即可。
可以理解的是,当近期测量得到的信号测量值处于逐渐降低的趋势时,可表明移动终端正在远离服务小区中信号比较好的覆盖区域,且正在向服务小区中信号比较弱覆盖区域移动。那么移动终端有可能会即将进入服务中断状态。
由于在一些场景中,移动后的区域信号虽然没有移动前的信号强,但也足够支持移动终端在当前服务小区驻留进行正常的网络服务,也即信号强度的变化趋势虽然为降低趋势,但移动终端当前处于仍服务正常状态。因此,仅根据信号强度的变化趋势为降低趋势来确定移动终端处于临近中断状态,容易误判。因此,在一些实施例中,还可以根据最新的信号测量值的大小情况,来进一步确定移动终端是否处于临近中断状态。具体地,可以是当变化趋势为降低趋势且当前时刻的信号测量值满足第一范围时,确定移动终端的网络服务状态为临近中断状态。其中,当前时刻的信号测量值可以理解为最新获取到信号测量值,其可以是距离当前时刻最近一次或两次获取到的信号测量值,在此并不作限定。
在一些实施例中,第一范围可以是前述实施例中提及的一种预设门限,此处可用于评估当前时刻的信号测量值是否趋近于当前服务小区符合移动终端驻留的最低条件。也就是说,如果当前时刻的信号测量值满足第一范围,则可以认为移动终端当前虽然可驻留在该服务小区,但已经趋近于最低驻留条件,一旦信号强度继续降低,当前服务小区可能就不符合移动终端驻留的最低条件(即移动终端无法再驻留在当前服务小区),而一旦当前服务小区不符合移动终端驻留的最低条件,移动终端就会进入OOS服务中断状态。换句话说,移动终端处于临近中断状态时,获取到的信号测量值通常会满足第一范围,即当前信号测量值满足第一范围,可以是移动终端处于临近中断状态的充分条件。
其中,第一范围具体的上下限数值可以根据实际需求合理设置,此处不作限定。需要注意的是,由于信号测量值满足第一范围时,移动终端仍可驻留在当前服务小区,因此,第一范围的下限数值(即最小值)至少需要保证当前服务小区符合移动终端驻留的最低条件。
在一些实施例中,当信号测量值包括多种类型的值时,也可以分别确定每种类型对应的第一范围。然后可以是只要存在一种类型的信号测量满足其对应的第一范围时,就可确定当前时 刻的信号测量值满足第一范围;也可以是需要多个类型的信号测量值都满足其对应的第一范围时,才可确定当前时刻的信号测量值满足第一范围,该多个类型可以是全部类型,在此并不作限定。
作为一种实施方式,信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值两种类型时,可以是根据RSRP值和RSRQ值计算S值后,通过S值来判断是否满足第一范围。具体地,根据RSRP值和RSRQ值分别计算出两种类型的S值:Srxlev值和Squal值后,可分别判断Srxlev值是否满足第一Srxlev范围,Squal值是否满足第一Squal范围。由于Srxlev值和Squal值都可以用于评估无线信号的强度,因此,可以是当Srxlev值和Squal值中任意一种满足上述范围时,都可确定当前时刻的信号测量值满足第一范围。
由于当前服务小区符合移动终端驻留的最低条件是S值>0,因此,第一Srxlev范围和第一Squal范围的下限可设置为0,也即第一Srxlev范围可为(0,Threshold_1_Sr),第一Squal范围可为(0,Threshold_1_Sq)。其中,Threshold_1_Sr和Threshold_1_Sq为数值上限,其可以是相同的,也可以是不同的,具体的Threshold_1_Sr和Threshold_1_Sq可以根据实际情况进行合理设置,在此并不作限定。例如,Threshold_1_Sr可设为10(dB),Threshold_1_Sq可设为5(dB)。
由于无线信号质量和强度的波动性、不稳定性,导致移动终端测量得到的信号测量值可能也会不稳定,如在某个时刻突然达到峰值,或者在某个时刻突然达到谷值。如果仅根据当前的信号测量值是否满足第一范围来预估当前网络服务状态,容易误判,准确性不高。因此,可先通过确定信号强度的变化趋势为降低趋势,来确定移动终端是否正在向比先前信号弱的覆盖区域移动,再通过确定当前时刻的信号测量值满足第一范围,来确定当前服务小区已经趋近于移动终端驻留的最低条件,从而可以准确确定出移动终端正在向弱信号覆盖区域或者无信号区移动,移动终端即将进入服务中断状态,也即当前移动终端处于临近中断状态。当然,也可以是先通过确定当前时刻的信号测量值满足第一范围,再通过确定信号强度的变化趋势为降低趋势,来共同确定出当前移动终端处于临近中断状态,两种判断条件的确定先后顺序在此并不作限定。
示例性地,在一个具体的实施例中,移动终端可以先判断收集到的数组或者链表中所有RSRP和RSRQ值,是否按照从前往后的顺序呈降低排列的。如果不是按照降序排列,则可以等收到新的测量结果值时再继续判断是否呈降低排列。如果是按照降序排列的,则可以表示移动终端的RSRP和RSRQ值在持续降低,然后可根据数组或者链表中最新RSRP和RSRQ值,分别计算Srxlev和Squal,并分别判断Srxlev是否满足第一Srxlev范围(0,Threshold_1_Sr),即是否满足0<Srxlev<Threshold_1_Sr,Squal是否满足第一Squal范围(0,Threshold_1_Sq),即0<Squal<Threshold_1_Sq。如果满足其中至少一种判断条件,则可表示移动终端已经处于临近中断状态。如果两种判断条件都不满足,但Srxlev值和Squal值又均>0时,则可表示移动终端未处于临近中断状态,还处于服务正常状态。而如果Srxlev值和Squal值均<0,则可表示移动终端已处于服务中断状态。
作为另一种方式,移动终端也可以是根据一段时间的信号测量值变化情况,确定移动终端的网络服务状态。具体地,预设时间段可包括第一时间段和第二时间段。请参阅图6,步骤S220也可以包括:
步骤S221b:确定在当前时刻之前所述第一时间段内信号测量值的第一平均值。
步骤S222b:确定在当前时刻之前所述第二时间段内信号测量值的第二平均值。
在一些实施例中,由于信号可能波动比较大,导致预设时间段内的信号测量值非常不稳定,可能无法确定预设时间段内信号强度的变化趋势。因此,可以根据一段时间的平均信号强度的变化情况,来确定信号强度是否在逐渐衰弱。具体地,可以确定在当前时刻之前第一时间段内信号测量值的第一平均值,以及确定在当前时刻之前第二时间段内信号测量值的第二平均值,以根据第一平均值和第二平均值的变化情况,来确定信号强度是否在逐渐衰弱。其中,第一时间段和第二时间段的时间长度可以相等,且第二时间段可都晚于第一时间段,第一时间段和第二时间段的具体定义与上述预设时间段的定义类似,此处不再赘述。可以理解的是,当信号测量值包括多种类型的值时,也可以分别确定每种类型对应的第一平均值和第二平均值。
在一些实施例中,第一时间段和第二时间段可以是连续的时间段。作为一种方式,可以将上述预设时间段进行均分,以确定出第一时间段和第二时间段,也即第一时间段和第二时间段可以是上述预设时间段中的前半部分时间段和后半部分时间段。例如,若是固定时间长度的预设时间段5S时,第一时间段可为前2.5S,第二时间段可为后2.5S;若是固定测量次数20次所对 应的预设时间段时,第一时间段可为前10次所对应的预设时间段,第二时间段可为后10次所对应的预设时间段。在另一些实施例中,第一时间段和第二时间段也可以是不连续的时间段,如第一时间段可以是上述预设时间段中开始部分,第二时间段可以是上述预设时间段中结尾部分,第一时间段与第二时间段中间存在有时间间隔。具体的第一时间段和第二时间段在此并不作限定。
在一些实施例中,确定在当前时刻之前第一时间段内信号测量值的第一平均值,可以是获取第一时间段内所有信号测量值的测量值总和,然后获取该测量值总和与第一时间段的比值,作为第一时间段内信号测量值的第一平均值。也可以是获取第一时间段内信号测量值的测量总次数,然后获取该测量值总和与测量总次数的比值,作为第一时间段内信号测量值的第一平均值。在一些实施例中,由于第一时间段和第二时间段的时间长度相等,或者测量总次数相等,因此,也可以直接将测量值总和作为第一平均值。具体的第一平均值的确定方式在此并不作限定,仅需体现一段时间的信号强度情况即可。第二平均值的确定方式与第一平均值类似,此处不再赘述。
示例性地,在一个具体实施例中,移动终端可将上述数组或者链表中的RSRP数据和RSRQ数据一分为二,其中前半部分的数据为第一时间段的信号测量值,后半部分的数据为第二时间段的信号测量值。然后可分别计算RSRP数据中前半部分的第一平均值和后半部分的第二平均值,RSRQ数据中前半部分的第一平均值和后半部分的第二平均值。具体的计算公式可以为:
RSRP第一平均值=(RSRP[0]+RSRP[1]+……+RSRP[Maximum/2-1])/Maximum*2;
RSRP第二平均值=(RSRP[Maximum/2]+RSRP[Maximum/2+1]+……+RSRP[Maximum-1])/Maximum*2;
RSRQ第一平均值=(RSRQ[0]+RSRQ[1]+……+RSRQ[Maximum/2-1])/Maximum*2;
RSRQ第二平均值=(RSRQ[Maximum/2]+RSRQ[Maximum/2+1]+……+RSRQ[Maximum-1])/Maximum*2。
其中RSRP[n]、RSRQ[n]指数组或者链表中第n个RSRP、RSRQ,0≤n<Maximum。
步骤S223b:当所述第二平均值小于所述第一平均值且当前时刻的信号测量值满足第二范围,确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态为临近中断状态。
可以理解的是,当第二平均值小于第一平均值时,可表明预设时间段中前阶段的信号比后阶段的信号好,也即预设时间段内信号是阶段性衰弱的。同理地,与前述根据前后信号测量值的变化情况确定网络服务状态类似,仅根据且当前时刻的信号测量值满足第二范围,来确定网络服务状态,准确性不高。因此,在一些实施例中,还可以根据最新的信号测量值的大小情况,来进一步确定移动终端是否处于临近中断状态。具体地,可以是当第二平均值小于第一平均值且当前时刻的信号测量值满足第二范围时,确定移动终端的网络服务状态为临近中断状态。其中,第二范围的定义描述,以及当然时刻的信号测量值满足第二范围的相关描述可参阅第一范围,此处不在赘述。
可以理解的,也可以先通过确定当前时刻的信号测量值满足第二范围,再通过确定第二平均值小于第一平均值,来共同确定出当前移动终端处于临近中断状态,两种判断条件的确定先后顺序在此并不作限定。
示例性地,移动终端可以根据数组或者链表中最新RSRP和RSRQ值,分别计算Srxlev和Squal,并分别判断Srxlev是否满足第二Srxlev范围(0,Threshold_2_Sr),即是否满足
0<Srxlev<Threshold_2_Sr,Squal是否满足第二Squal范围(0,Threshold_2_Sq),即0<Squal<Threshold_2_Sq。其中,Threshold_2_Sr和Threshold_2_Sq为数值上限,其可以是相同的,也可以是不同的,具体的Threshold_2_Sr和Threshold_2_Sq可以根据实际情况进行合理设置,在此并不作限定。例如,Threshold_2_Sr可设为8(dB),Threshold_2_Sq可设为3(dB)。
如果两种判断条件都不满足,则可以等收到新的测量结果值时再继续判断是否满足。如果满足其中至少一种判断条件,则可认为当前服务小区已经趋近于移动终端驻留的最低条件,然后再将上述数组或者链表中的RSRP数据和RSRQ数据一分为二,分别计算RSRP数据中前半部分的第一平均值和后半部分的第二平均值,RSRQ数据中前半部分的第一平均值和后半部分的第二平均值。当第二平均值小于第一平均值时,则可表示移动终端已经处于临近中断状态。当第二平均值不小于第一平均值时,则可表示移动终端未处于临近中断状态,还处于服务正常状态。
在一些实施例中,也可以根据第一平均值和第二平均值的差值情况,来确定阶段性的信号变化情况。具体地,请参阅图7,步骤S223b可以包括:
步骤S2231:确定所述第一平均值与所述第二平均值的差值。
步骤S2232:当所述差值满足第三范围且当前时刻的信号测量值满足第二范围,确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态为临近中断状态。
在一些实施例中,移动终端可以先确定上述第一平均值与第二平均值的差值,然后判断该差值是否满足第三范围。其中,第三范围是用于评估前后两阶段的信号测量值是否呈衰减趋势的判决门限。也就是说,如果第一平均值与第二平均值的差值满足该第三范围,可认为预设时间段内前后两阶段的信号测量值呈阶段性衰弱。可以理解的是,第三范围具体的上下限数值可以根据实际需求合理设置,此处不作限定。需要注意的是,由于第一平均值与第二平均值的差值满足第三范围时,信号是衰弱的,因此,第一平均值至少要大于第二平均值,第三范围的下限数值也即(即最小值)至少为0。
在一些实施例中,当信号测量值包括多种类型的值时,也可以分别确定每种类型对应的第三范围。示例性地,信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值两种类型时,第一平均值与所述第二平均值的差值满足第三范围,可以是:(RSRP第一平均值-RSRP第二平均值>Threshold_3_Sr)||(RSRQ第一平均值-RSRQ第二平均值>Threshold_3_Sq)。其中,Threshold_3_Sr和Threshold_3_Sq为数值下限,其可以是相同的,也可以是不同的,具体的Threshold_3_Sr和Threshold_3_Sq可以根据实际情况进行合理设置,在此并不作限定。例如,Threshold_3_Sr可设为0~5中的任意数值(dB),Threshold_3_Sq可设为0~3中的任意数值(dB)。
通常地,移动终端发生OOS服务中断的场景模型主要分为两大类:一是快速陡降模式,二是缓慢降低模式。其中快速陡降模式是指移动终端信号强度或者信号质量从强信号快速降低至弱信号或者无信号(参阅图8),一般发生在从信号较好区域进入无信号或者弱信号覆盖区域,如从外部广阔地带进入地下室或者电梯、隧道等等。而缓慢降低模式则是指移动终端信号强度或者信号质量从弱信号缓慢降低至更弱或者无信号(参阅图9),一般发生在从信号较弱区域进入无信号或者极弱信号覆盖区域,如偏远农村地区或者山区等等。因此,在一些实施例中,可以根据上述前后信号测量值的变化的评估方式,来检测是否发生变化比较明显的快速抖降模式的临近中断状态判断,可以根据上述一段时间的阶段性变化的评估方式,来检测是否发生变化比较缓慢、不明显的缓慢降低模式的临近中断状态判断。可以理解是,由于快速抖降模式变化比较明显,因此也可以根据上述一段时间的阶段性变化,来检测变化比较明显的快速抖降模式的临近中断状态判断,此处不作限定。从而可以利用不同的Threshold值来适配不同的场景。
在一些实施例中,可以是上述两种评估方式一起判断,也即移动终端可根据不同的场景模式,对收集到的测量结果数据分别判断是否满足快速陡降模式的判断标准和缓慢降低模式的判断标准,从而只要存在一种标准满足就可以确定移动终端的网络服务状态为临近中断状态。例如,请参阅图10。
步骤S230:当所述网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,启动所述移动终端的小区搜索,所述临近中断状态为服务正常状态与服务中断状态之间的状态。
在本申请实施例中,步骤S230可参阅前述实施例的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供的小区搜索方法,通过获取移动终端所驻留的服务小区,在当前时刻之前预设时间段内的的信号测量值,以根据该预设时间段内信号测量值的信号变化,确定移动终端的网络服务状态,并在确定出的网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,启动移动终端的小区搜索,以驻留到新的服务小区。其中,该临近中断状态为服务正常状态与服务中断状态之间的状态。从而可以根据在当前时刻之前预设时间段内的的信号变化,提前检测移动终端的网络服务是否即将进入服务中断状态,然后在检测到移动终端的网络服务即将进入服务中断状态时,触发小区搜索,以使移动终端能够尽快驻留到网络条件更好的新小区上,使得用户的各项基本业务能够不因服务中断而受到影响,提升了用户体验。
请参阅图11,图11示出了本申请又一个实施例提供的小区搜索方法的流程示意图。下面将针对图11所示的流程进行详细的阐述,所示小区搜索方法具体可以包括以下步骤:
步骤S310:获取移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值。
步骤S320:根据所述信号测量值,确定所述移动终端的网络服务状态。
在本申请实施例中,步骤S310和步骤S320可参阅前述实施例的内容,此处不再赘述。
步骤S330:当所述网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,根据在当前时刻之前指定时间段内的所述信号测量值,确定所述指定时间段内的信号变化斜率。
在一些实施例中,在确定出网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,移动终端可根据不同的信号变化趋势,做不同的避免中断处理操作,以适配不同的场景和达到更好的性能优化。具体地,当网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,移动终端可根据在当前时刻之前指定时间段内的信号测量值,确定指定时间段内的信号变化斜率,以根据信号变化斜率来确定对应的避免中断处理操作。其中,指定时间段可以是上述预设时间段,也可以是比上述预设时间段长或段的时间段,此处并不作限定。
作为一种实施方式,确定指定时间段内的信号变化斜率,可以是先获取指定时间段内的最早的信号测量值及对应的最早测量时间点,以及最晚的信号测量值及对应的最晚测量时间点,然后获取最早的信号测量值与最晚的信号测量值之间的测量差值,并获取最早测量时间点与最晚测量时间点之间的时间差值,然后获取测量差值与时间差值的比值,作为指定时间段内的信号变化斜率。
若指定时间段为固定时间长度的预设时间段,作为另一种实施方式,也可以获取上述测量差值与指定时间段的比值,作为指定时间段内的信号变化斜率。或者可以直接将测量差值作为信号变化斜率进行参考,因为时间长度固定,无参考意义。
可以理解的是,信号测量值包括多种类型的值时,也可以分别确定每种类型的信号测量值在指定时间段内的信号变化斜率。示例性,当信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值时,可以分别确定出指定时间段内RSRP值的信号变化斜率,和RSRQ值的信号变化斜率。
示例性地,信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值两种类型时,移动终端可分别计算RSRP值信号强度的信号变化斜率Krsrp_1和RSRQ值信号质量的信号变化斜率Krsrp_2,其计算方式可以是:
Krsrp_1=(RSRP[0]–RSRP[Maximum-1])/(Time[Maximum-1]–Time[0]);
Krsrp_2=(RSRQ[0]–RSRQ[Maximum-1])/(Time[Maximum-1]–Time[0])。
步骤S340:判断所述信号变化斜率是否大于斜率阈值。若是,则执行步骤S350;若否,则执行步骤S360。
步骤S350:根据第一策略,启动所述移动终端的小区搜索,其中,所述移动终端根据所述第一策略响应小区搜索的优先级高于响应对业务进行网络服务的优先级。
步骤S360:根据第二策略,启动所述移动终端的小区搜索,其中,所述移动终端根据所述第二策略响应小区搜索的优先级低于响应对业务进行网络服务的优先级。
在本申请实施例中,移动终端在获取到指定时间段内的信号变化斜率后,可根据信号变化斜率的大小,进行不同策略的小区搜索操作。从而实现根据不同的信号变化趋势做不同的避免中断处理操作,以适配不同的场景和达到更好的性能优化。具体地,移动终端可以判断信号变化斜率是否大于斜率阈值。当大于斜率阈值时,可根据第一策略,启动移动终端的小区搜索,其中移动终端根据第一策略响应小区搜索的优先级高于响应对业务进行网络服务的优先级。当不大于斜率阈值时,可根据第二策略,启动移动终端的小区搜索,其中移动终端根据第二策略响应小区搜索的优先级低于响应对业务进行网络服务的优先级。
在一些实施例中,斜率阈值可以理解为一种用于评估信号衰减变化快慢的判决门限,其可以预先存储移动终端内,也可以从网络终端发送的广播消息中获取,此处并不作限定。其数值也可以根据实际场景合理设置,此处也并不作限定。如可以设置1。
可以理解的是,当信号变化斜率大于斜率阈值时,说明信号衰减变化得很快,可认为移动终端很快会进入OOS状态,此时移动终端应该立即触发移动终端的小区搜索过程,以保证移动终端能尽早找到更好的小区进行驻留,且移动终端执行小区搜索任务的优先级较高,会优先于一般业务执行。而当信号变化较慢时,可认为移动终端虽然处于弱信号,但仍可持续一段时间,为了尽量少地减少对正常服务的影响,此时虽然也可触发移动终端的小区搜索过程,但移动终端执行小区搜索任务的优先级较低,即后台执行,其优先低于一般业务,可被一般业务打断。如可以是背景搜索。
在一些实施例中,当信号测量值包括多种类型的值时,也可以分别确定每种类型对应的斜率阈值。然后可以是只要存在一种类型的信号变化斜率大于其对应的斜率阈值时,就可确定信号衰减变化得很快;也可以是需要多个类型的信号变化斜率都大于其对应的斜率阈值时,才可 确定信号衰减变化得很快,该多个类型可以是全部类型,在此并不作限定。
示例性地,信号测量值包括RSRP值和RSRQ值两种类型时,可以是分别判断斜率Krsrp_1是否大于Threshold_4_Sr,斜率Krsrp_2是否大于Threshold_4_Sq,当斜率Krsrp_1和斜率Krsrp_2中任意一种满足上述条件时,都可确定信号变化斜率是否大于斜率阈值。即判断如下条件是否满足:Krsrp_1>Threshold_4_Sr||Krsrp_1>Threshold_4_Sq。其中,Threshold_4_Sr和
Threshold_4_Sq可以是相同的,也可以是不同的,具体的Threshold_4_Sr和Threshold_4_Sq可以根据实际情况进行合理设置,在此并不作限定。
在一些实施例中,移动终端执行小区搜索过程中,如果能找到更好的小区,则移动终端可驻留新小区并设置新小区为新的服务小区。也就是说,当搜索到信号强度和信号质量都比当前驻留的服务小区更好的目标小区时,可以控制移动终端从当前驻留的服务小区切换到目标小区进行驻留,也即将目标小区设置为新的服务小区,以在新的服务小区正常进行CS/PS业务,避免移动终端因进入OOS状态而影响基本通信业务正常进行。
示例性地,请参阅图12和图13,图12示出了本申请提供的一种小区搜索方法的主要流程图,图13示出了本申请提供的一种小区搜索方法的整体流程图。移动终端收集测量当前驻留的服务小区的信号测量值RSRP和RSRQ值并存储于数组或者链表中,然后判断数组或者链表中元素的数量是否达到Maximum,当达到Maximum时,移动终端进入OOS预估阶段。在进入OOS预估阶段后,移动终端可根据不同的场景模式,对收集到的测量结果数据分别判断是否满足快速陡降判断标准和缓慢降低判断标准。如果满足其中任一标准,都可确定移动终端当前处于临近OOS状态,此时移动终端可进入避免OOS阶段,以尽量保证在进入OOS状态之前,能尽快找到更好的小区进行驻留。
具体地,可先计算移动终端信号强度和信号质量的变化斜率K,然后根据斜率K的大小来判断是进入小区搜索过程还是背景搜索过程,也判断斜率K是否大于Threshold_4。如果满足条件,说明信号变化很快,移动终端将很快进入OOS,此时立即触发小区搜索过程,提前搜索周围是否有更好的小区可驻留,如果能找到更好的小区则驻留新小区并设置新小区为服务小区,如果不能找到其他更好的小区,则再次进入OOS预估阶段,等收到新的测量结果值时继续做临近OOS场景的判断。
如果不能满足条件,说明信号变化较慢,移动终端虽然处于弱信号,但仍可持续一段时间,为尽量少的减少对正常服务的影响,触发移动终端做背景搜索过程,提前搜索周围是否有更好的小区可驻留,如果能找到更好的小区则驻留新小区并设置新小区为服务小区,如果不能驻留,则继续触发新的小区搜索过程,直到驻留到新的信号好的小区上。最终,移动终端驻留在新的服务小区上,可以在新的服务小区正常进行CS/PS业务。
另外,在本申请实施例中,上述小区可以广义地理解为信号覆盖区。在一些实施例中,当本申请实施例提供的小区搜索方法,适用于蜂窝通信系统来实施时,上述小区可以理解为基站的信号所能覆盖的地理区域。在另一些实施例中,当本申请实施例提供的小区搜索方法,适用于其他各种无线传输技术上来实施时,例如WIFI信号,Bluetooth信号,Zigbee信号,以及Lora信号,Sigfox信号等,上述小区可以理解为WIFI、Bluetooth、Zigbee等无线传输模块的信号所能覆盖的地理区域。由于其都会涉及到信号衰减到中断的场景,因此都可以采用本申请提供的小区搜索方法,提前进行新的信号覆盖区搜索,以在移动终端进入服务中断状态之前,连接到更好的信号覆盖区。
本申请实施例提供的小区搜索方法,通过移动终端所驻留的服务小区的信号测量值,确定移动终端的网络服务状态,并在确定出的网络服务状态为临近中断状态时,可根据在当前时刻之前指定时间段内的信号测量值,确定指定时间段内的信号变化斜率,当信号变化斜率大于斜率阈值时,根据第一策略启动所述移动终端的小区搜索,以驻留到新的服务小区。其中,移动终端根据该第一策略响应小区搜索的优先级高于响应对业务进行网络服务的优先级;当信号变化斜率小于或等于斜率阈值时,根据第二策略启动所述移动终端的小区搜索,其中,移动终端根据该第二策略响应小区搜索的优先级低于响应对业务进行网络服务的优先级。从而移动终端可根据不同的信号变化趋势,执行不同的小区搜索策略,以适配不同的场景和达到更好的性能优化。
