背景技术
新空口(New Radio，NR)定义了终端的3种无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)状态：空闲状态(RRC_IDLE)、休眠状态(RRC_INACTIVE)和连接状态(RRC_CONNECTED)。在连接状态下终端的移动性管理包括小区之间的切换管理和小区内部波束之间的切换管理，小区之间的切换通过RRC信令控制，并依赖于无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management，RRM)和测量。
在小区切换过程中，终端与服务小区的通信质量较差，并且RRC信令开销较大、传输时间较长，会导致终端不能成功接收网络侧发送的切换指示，进而导致切换过程业务中断时间较长，甚至切换失败。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本申请进行说明。可以理解的是，此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用于解释本申请，而非对本申请的限定。本实施例中提及的“第一”、“第二”等概念仅用于对不同的装置、模块、单元或其他对象进行区分，并非用于限定这些装置、模块、单元或其他对象所执行的功能的顺序或者相互依存关系。需要说明的是，在不冲突的情况下，本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。另外还需要说明的是，为了便于描述，附图中仅示出了与本申请相关的部分而非全部结构。
在本申请实施例中，提供一种小区指示方法，针对RRC信令开销大、传输慢、传输成功率低的问题，采用下行控制信息向终端指示需要切换的目标小区，提高指示的可靠性和小区切换的成功率。
图1为一实施例提供的一种小区指示方法的流程图。该方法可应用于服务节点，例如基站、网络侧节点、调度节点等。如图1所示，本实施例提供的方法包括步骤110和步骤120。
在步骤110中，生成下行控制信息，所述下行控制信息用于指示目标小区的信息。
在步骤120中，将所述下行控制信息发送至终端。
本实施例中，服务节点可以根据与终端之间的连接情况、信道状态、位置关系等确定终端与当前连接的服务小区之间的通信质量，进而决定是否需要为终端切换服务小区，以及确定能够在切换后为终端继续提供服务的目标小区。在此基础上，服务节点通过下行控制信息将目标小区的信息指示给终端，从而指示终端从当前的服务小区切换为目标小区。
需要说明的是，目标小区的信息通过下行控制信息指示，下行控制信息的信令开销较小、传输较快、传输成功率高，因此能够保证切换服务小区的指示的可靠性，在此基础上，终端能够依据下行控制信息快速将服务小区切换为目标小区，从而减少业务中断的时间，并保证切换的成功率。
在一实施例中，下行控制信息根据终端上报的测量信息生成。
本实施例中，终端可以测量与服务节点之间的信道状态并将测量信息上报给服务节点， 服务节点据此确定终端与当前连接的服务小区之间的通信质量，进而决定是否需要切换服务小区，以及确定能够在切换后为终端继续提供服务的目标小区。
在一实施例中，下行控制信息包括以下至少之一：
RRC消息；介质访问控制-控制元素(Media Access ControlControl Element，MAC CE)信息；物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)DCI。
本实施例中，下行控制信息可以是RRC消息；也可以是MAC信令中的信息，具体可以是MAC CE信息；也可以是PDCCH DCI。
在一实施例中，目标小区的信息包括以下至少之一：目标小区的物理小区标识(Physical Cell ID，PCI)；目标小区的小区无线网络临时标识(Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier，C-RNTI)；目标小区集合；目标小区的索引。
本实施例中，每个小区的PCI、C-RNTI以及索引都是唯一的，服务节点通过下行控制信息向终端指示目标小区的PCI、C-RNTI以及索引中的一种或多种，供终端明确要切换的服务小区，使切换指示的方式更灵活高效，此外，目标小区也可以包括多个小区，目标小区的信息包括目标小区集合，终端可以切换至目标小区集合中的一个目标小区。
图2为一实施例提供的一种下行控制信息的示意图。Oct表示一个字节(Byte)，一个字节中包括8个比特(Bit)。如图2所示，Oct1中有5个比特“R”表示预留字段，其余比特可用于指示目标小区的索引，目标小区的索引字段的长度为3比特。其中，目标小区可以为条件切换(Conditional Handover，CHO)小区，即终端在满足设定条件的情况下才可切换至目标小区。
图3为一实施例提供的另一种下行控制信息的示意图。如图3所示，Oct1中有6个比特为预留字段，其余比特以及Oct2中的比特都可用于指示目标小区的PCI，PCI字段的长度为10比特。PCI字段具体可以是第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)的技术规范TS 38.331和/或3GPP TS 37.355中规定的物理小区标识(PhysCellId)。
图4为一实施例提供的又一种下行控制信息的示意图。如图4所示，Oct1中有6个比特为预留字段，其余比特以及Oct2中的比特都可用于指示目标小区的PCI，PCI字段的长度为10比特；此外，Oct3和Oct4中的比特都可用于指示目标小区的C-RNTI，即C-RNTI字段的长度为16比特。C-RNTI字段具体可以包含MAC实体的C-RNTI。
在一实施例中，PCI包括PCI字段值或者PCI索引。
本实施例中，PCI的内容可以是具体的PCI字段值，也可以是PCI索引。如果PCI的内容是具体的PCI字段值，则下行控制信息中所指示的PCI就是目标小区的物理小区标识，可直接指示目标小区；如果PCI的内容是PCI索引，则PCI的各字段值与PCI索引之间具有第一映射关系，终端可以根据下行控制信息中指示的PCI索引查询第一映射关系，以获得该PCI索引对应的PCI字段值，从而确定目标小区的物理小区标识，这种情况下，PCI索引可间接指示目标小区。
在一实施例中，C-RNTI包括C-RNTI字段值或者C-RNTI索引。
本实施例中，C-RNTI的内容可以是具体的C-RNTI字段值，也可以是C-RNTI索引。如果C-RNTI的内容是具体的C-RNTI字段值，则下行控制信息中所指示的C-RNTI就是目标小区的临时标识符，可直接指示目标小区；如果C-RNTI的内容是C-RNTI索引，则C-RNTI的各字段值与C-RNTI索引之间具有第二映射关系，终端可以根据下行控制信息中指示的C-RNTI索 引查询第二映射关系，以获得该C-RNTI索引对应的C-RNTI字段值，从而确定目标小区的临时标识符，这种情况下，C-RNTI索引可间接指示目标小区。
在一实施例中，目标小区集合通过RRC消息或MAC CE消息发送；RRC消息为已有信元或新增信元。
本实施例中，目标小区的信息包括目标小区集合，且下行控制信息具体可以是RRC消息或MAC CE消息，其中，对于RRC消息，可以使用已有信元或新增信元来指示目标小区集合。已有信元是指已有的用于传输其他信息的信元，新增信元是指为指示目标小区集合设置的专用的信元。

在一实施例中，服务节点还可以向终端指示服务小区的切换方式，切换方式包括上下行切换和下行切换，其中，上下行切换是指，在指定时间内，为终端提供上行服务的服务小区(上行服务小区)以及为终端提供下行服务的服务小区(下行服务小区)都切换为目标小区；下行切换是指，在指定时间内，为终端提供上行服务的服务小区保持不变，而为终端提供下行服务的服务小区切换为目标小区，从而优先保证上行服务的质量。通过指示不同的切换方式，分别考虑上行和下行的通信质量进行服务小区的切换，使服务节点与终端之间的服务关系和切换方式更灵活，可满足不同的实际需求。
在本申请实施例中，还提供一种小区切换方法，该方法可应用于终端，例如手机、平板、电脑等用户设备(User Equipment，UE)。需要说明的是，未在本实施例中详尽描述的技术细节可参见上述任意实施例。

在步骤210中，接收下行控制信息，所述下行控制信息用于指示目标小区的信息。
在步骤220中，根据所述下行控制信息将服务小区切换为所述目标小区。
本实施例中，终端根据下行控制信息的指示进行服务小区的切换，由于下行控制信息的信令开销较小、传输较快，传输成功率高，因此能够保证指示的可靠性，在此基础上终端能够依据下行控制信息快速切换为目标小区，可以减少业务中断的时间，保证切换的成功率。
在一实施例中，该方法还包括：
步骤200：上报测量信息，其中，下行控制信息根据测量信息生成。
