Description

一种小区切换及其控制方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2021年05月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110508632.9、申请名称为“一种小区切换及其控制方法及装置”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种小区切换及其控制方法及装置。
背景技术
现有技术中关于条件切换(Conditional Handover,CHO),或条件PSCell(Primary Secondary cell,主辅小区)添加或改变(Conditional PSCell Additional/Change,CPAC)切换的主要思想:
为了提高移动的鲁棒性和可靠性,版本16(R16)中引入了条件切换和没有主节点(Master node,MN)参与的辅节点(Secondary node,SN)内的PSCell条件改变,R17中引入了SN间的PSCell条件改变,和条件PSCell添加。
无论是CHO、SN内的PSCell条件改变、SN间的条件PSCell条件改变,或条件PSCell添加,其主要思想都是网络侧设备给UE预配置多个目标小区,即提前将目标小区的配置信息以及执行条件发送给UE。当UE收到目标小区的配置信息后,并不会像传统的切换、PSCell改变(change)或PSCell添加(addition)那样立刻执行切换或PSCell change或PSCell addition,而会将收到的配置保存,并对配置的备选小区进行测量评估,直到存在满足执行条件的小区后,UE则执行存储的该小区对应的重配置消息,进行相应的切换或PSCell change或PSCell addition过程,即完成下行同步并触发随机接入过程接入所述目标PCell或PSCell。
R16只支持网络侧设备单独为UE配置CHO或CPAC,即UE在配置CHO时只判断PCell(Primary Cell,主小区)切换条件是否满足,从而只执行PCell切换过程(也称为条件PCell切换),即PCell切换过程不伴随PSCell添加或改变,或配置了CPAC时只判断PSCell添加或改变的执行条件是否满足,从而只执行PSCell添加或改变过程,即PSCell添加或改变过程不伴随条件PCell切换过程。
执行条件:
针对CHO,以及R17CPAC,网络可配置类似A3/A5的执行条件:
A3执行条件:候选目标小区的测量质量偏移量优于PCell/PSCell;
A5执行条件:PCell/PSCell的测量质量变得比一预设的绝对门限差,候选目标小区的测量质量变得比另一预设的绝对门限好;
以上这些执行条件都是基于小区级的测量质量指标实现的。
关于CHO和CPAC的现有技术中,当前协议只支持网络侧设备单独配置CHO或CPAC,即UE在执行CHO时只能完成PCell切换,不伴随PSCell添加或改变,即不支持进行条件PCell切换的同时进行PSCell添加或改变。
